[shut panther]

Usually a small patch like this their lovely developers have them fixed within 24hr though

Xivalexander can be fixed manually if one can be bothered

[umbral dune]

2h

[cursive ridge]

do you guys move your home point to the main city of the expansion

[shut panther]

Nah, I've left it in limsa permanently

[leaden ginkgo]

^

[shut panther]

Crystarium is useless anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

tru

looks cool though

but its always hella empty i dont see many people there

[patent citrus]

I did leave it in ARR Main Cities yeah, cause I needed to do GC command missions everyday 😂

[cursive ridge]

i set my free destination to my GC city and I bought an apartment in limsa so i always have a cheap teleport to that part of the world

[sterile stone]

can you rank up past captain in your GC?

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

[sterile stone]

so those ranks are just for show?

[nocturne wyvern]

And we haven’t heard anything about them raising the rank either.

[obsidian patio]

flavor/lore, basically

[nocturne wyvern]

You also get access to some exclusive glamour items.

[obsidian patio]

SE isn't planning on adding more obtainable ranks unless they can add something meaningful to them

like more glamour gear or features

instead of just a higher GC seal cap

[scenic moon]

I need 300 ilv for progressing msq. Is there vendor anywhere for quick fixing this ?

[shut panther]

Have you done your job quests

[scenic moon]

yes lv 70

[obsidian patio]

!faq poetics

spend poetics in rhalgr's Reach/Kugane on i400 gear

[scenic moon]

ty

[shut panther]

Did you equip the gear you received? Providing you haven't ignored every upgrade, it should be very easy to surpass 300

[woeful breach]

starting at what dungeons do i need to start learning mechanics as ranged dps

[shut panther]

But yeah, add poetics gear to your weakest slots

[patent citrus]

every dungeon?

can't ignore mechanic

[scenic moon]

lv 70 job gear are 290 ilv

[patent citrus]

just stick close to your healer and avoid aoe

[woeful breach]

been carried to 40 so far so just wondering when it stops lol

[shut panther]

Tbh, you can ignore a lot of shit as ranged pre hw.

[woeful breach]

about to do the navel

yeah so im wondering

when will i cause wipes

for not knowing

[shut panther]

Or it's just incredibly obvious stuff like "Dodge the telegraph"

[misty flicker]

Every early Dungeon introduces some Basic mechanic that you need to recognize in later trials and stuff

[shut panther]

You'll basically never cause wipes in normal content as the DPS.

[patent citrus]

yeah just avoid the bad telegraph

and stick to your healer

[fresh viper]

huh, apparently i can't launch the steam version with run-as-admin enabled

[patent citrus]

don't develop a habit of standing in aoe

if you haven't standing in aoe, it means you haven't been ignorning mechanic

[shut panther]

But yeah do your healers a favor and don't stand in Siberia just because you can

[leaden ginkgo]

what does brb bio means

[patent citrus]

toilet

[oak ice]

Toilet break

[misty flicker]

Lmao

[leaden ginkgo]

what

really xD ?

[oak ice]

The person walked away from their pc to take a dump

[obsidian patio]

can also mean like getting a snack or such

[shut panther]

Yeah I don't know why that caught on in online video games.. but yeah.

[leaden ginkgo]

ok Thanks

[patent citrus]

I never understood either

[shut panther]

To me it's somehow grosser than "I need to use the toilet, brb"

[patent citrus]

and there's an auto-translate in the game "Bio" 🙄

[wispy basalt]

gamers are evolving

[patent citrus]

I didn't understand until someone told me, too late already pulled the boss

[regal pawn]

Brb biology break

[cursive ridge]

bio just means that you have to step away from the game to serve the needs of your frail real world body

[regal pawn]

And theres auto translate for bio because there's a skill called bio

!action bio

Wack

[misty flicker]

Well

Was worth a try

[boreal storm]

Brb gotta do my bio test

[nocturne wyvern]

There aren’t a lot of “if one person makes a mistake the entire group instantly dies” mechanics in the normal mode stuff.

[worthy summit]

Guys, where can i re-obtain Orchestron Rolls i got from a quest and lost them?

[nocturne wyvern]

Most of those are reserved for higher difficulty content.

[obsidian patio]

if it's only from a quest, you can't discard or sell them

so you must have used them or stored them somewhere

[storm sapphire]

You can isearch them, no?

[obsidian patio]

Try typing or copy/pasting this into your chat bar:
/isearch "Orchestrion Roll"

[worthy summit]

Nope

[barren granite]

can we play orchestration roll where ever ?

[oak ice]

No, you need an orchestrion

[toxic kiln]

can we carry one?

[worthy summit]

ah, wait, i have obtained it

[obsidian patio]

only in your inn room, apartment, or personal/FC house

[worthy summit]

Thanks ofr help!

[toxic kiln]

😦

[barren granite]

oh thats odd

[nocturne wyvern]

Yoshida has addressed this and said we won’t get that. He made a joke that doing so made Soken run from the room.

[storm sapphire]

Maybe cid will invent the endwalkman in endwalker

Ah

[waxen siren]

I’m trying to solo A5N as a DRK level 80, but this tank buster doing 130k damage kills me, any help?

[nocturne wyvern]

Get better gear? 130k hit should be survivable as an 80 tank.

[waxen siren]

I have around 145k, but can’t heal up enough for the second tb, do I just bring potions or?

[nocturne wyvern]

No it won’t be enough. Drk has a hard time soloing old content.

You’ll need a second 80 most likely.

[obsidian patio]

DRK has the worst HP sustain of the tanks for solo content

[waxen siren]

I see, thanks for the tips

[boreal storm]

And their invuln kills them

[obtuse marsh]

where can i buy gear with poetics as a blm?

[boreal storm]

Any of the starting cities

Sundry splendor is who you want

[obtuse marsh]

ok ty

[grave tundra]

ACT not working for anyone else?

[obsidian patio]

it always breaks after maintenances

give it a day or so and it should be updated/fixed

[grave tundra]

so we just need an update for it right?

kupo be dead right now

but either way, use #kupo-bot-spam for personal use

[leaden ginkgo]

if it hits the cap
its rng that whos going to enter or the first one who register

[obsidian patio]

RNG for people who don't have the priority buff

[slate arrow]

RNG, FATE + PRIORITY take priority

If everyone has priority, then FATE buff takes priority

[obsidian patio]

and if 48+ people have the fate buff, then it's complete rng

[shy kayak]

are there any good sites and discords with character customisation presets?

[leaden ginkgo]

[green plover]

How do I remove 2bs skirt

[cursive ridge]

i've heard that dragoons get some bits of extra dialogue during heavensward msq, is there something similar with other jobs for other expansions?

[proud willow]

Nothing on the level of DRK in Heavensward (and even that is only about a dozen lines of dialogue changed)

NIN has a few different lines in Stormblood, healers have one different line in Stormblood

[cursive ridge]

so basically shouldn't worry about it

[proud willow]

nah

[cursive ridge]

oh and

to get those the job needs to be actively selected right

[kindred frost]

What's the average time it takes to complete a shb relic weapon assuming 2-3 hours a day?

[heavy wadi]

first relic?

hmm

[proud willow]

I don't know for sure which ones change only when you're on the job

[umbral dune]

All boss spam || azure dragoon|| for DRG

[kindred frost]

Yeah first

[heavy wadi]

i'd want to say like... two weeks? that's probably a conservative estimate

[kindred frost]

Hmm

[cursive ridge]

so you get the extra dialogue if you unlocked the job?

[umbral dune]

No cus i play bard and they still call me dragoon

[proud willow]

for DRG, I know you definitely need to have leveled it to 50

[cursive ridge]

good to know

[umbral dune]

But seriously it becomes lame after a while as it override any other title, auto match you equal as Estinien

[slate arrow]

You don't, you simply equip different chest gear

[green plover]

No I meant in automata not ffxiv

[slate arrow]

why are you asking here then

#not-ffxiv-discussion

Or #video-games-general

[raven escarp]

so uh I don't understand beast tribes reputation gains, is it normal to get +10 for ARR and +60 for SB?

[slate arrow]

Yes

[elfin pelican]

Hi,

Yesterday i bought the game in steam (9.99euros), when i went to mog station to valid the code, it says "code is not valid" (I checked in videos that i am trying to exchange it in the right place)

I opened ticket asking for a solution with chat or email but no answers

What can i do?

I am really burned from wow and wanted some fresh air

[slate arrow]

ARR ones are significantly more grindy

[raven escarp]

grindier and there's no namazu to make me laugh, lame

[slate arrow]

tl;Dr log into the Steam Launcher with your MOGSTATION account

it should do the rest from there

probably

[alpine shadow]

he did say that he entered the code in mogstation and recieved "code is not valid"

[slate arrow]

no

You don't enter steam codes into mogstation

[alpine shadow]

you can

[slate arrow]

I'm assuming he's on a free trial account

If they're not and already have standalone welp

[alpine shadow]

or, they could've entered the code in to the incorrect input

[elfin pelican]

i cant redeem the code

[slate arrow]

What does your MOGSTATION say?

I s2g I'm gonna start billing SE for this

[alpine shadow]

sounds like there is no free trial at all

[alpine shadow]

or, you have a standard account

can you go a bit further up?

where you have "Account Type"

in "Your Account"

also, did the code you entered the "Shadowbringers" code, not "Endwalker"

[slate arrow]

No, it's the 9.99 euro one

Has to be starter

[alpine shadow]

that's standard, you can't use steam

[elfin pelican]

it si the starter yep, no the last expansion

See this

Sadly, you can't get a refund anymore because FFXIV is on the steam refund exception list

[alpine shadow]

well, one option is to just launch your account not-with-steam

[barren granite]

for DRG can we extend Life of Dragon Red dragon ?

[slate arrow]

not the red gauge no

[barren granite]

ok

[elfin pelican]

yep, i bought this one:

[alpine shadow]

yeah, you shouldn't have needed to buy that

you already own it

you can't use it on that service account anyway

[elfin pelican]

so, what should i do to play 😫

[slate arrow]

you'll have to buy shadowbringers/Endwalker via the SE store, Mogstation, or any third party site

Just buy a subscription

You already own the game

[proud willow]

I suppose you can start from scratch on a new username if you want to only play on Steam, but it would mean losing your characters

[elfin pelican]

no characters, new at ff

[alpine shadow]

can you show us the subscription part at the bottom?

[slate arrow]

If you want to play on steam, set up a new mogstation account and redeem starter there

[alpine shadow]

or that

[twilit rampart]

when can you get white scrips? I'm looking to level my crafters/gatherers in shadowbringers, but when I look at the npc who I can give collectables it seems they are all yellow scrips, not white? At 80lvl? Until then I get yellow scrips that I believe have very few uses to me?

[slate arrow]

It's not like it matters anyways since all clients play on the same servers

[umbral dune]

Unless you do potd, healing potion is useless

[slate arrow]

Level 79/80 collectibles yes

[twilit rampart]

thanks

[proud willow]

there's a way to reset the Steam client so that it gives you a chance to create an account again

[alpine shadow]

well, he could just login to his non-steam account instead, sounds more like a reasonable choice

unless he wants the free 30 days

[proud willow]

I assume he wants the days

[alpine shadow]

but to be sure, check if you have any sub here

[elfin pelican]

free 30 days sounds good

[hard aurora]

buying any version gives you 30 days of gametime on your first purchase

[slate arrow]

If you don't have any progress you care about, just set up a new account for steam

[hard aurora]

you cant loophole this via buying another version for gametime

[alpine shadow]

you can use the same account

[slate arrow]

You can, but only per platform

[alpine shadow]

just press the "Add new service account" on the top right

and then add in the steam code in there

[proud willow]

I wouldn't mess around with double service accounts unnecessarily...

from my experience, that's just more confusion

[elfin pelican]

i think i have the same in my wow account, so i will survive xD

[alpine shadow]

well, you would need a seperate login if you want to create a whole new account

[modest drift]

guys

[alpine shadow]

depends if they want to pay 30 days for now, or redeem the steam code.

[modest drift]

if i move my FC house to other state (i have an small and want to go into a medium or mansion)

[slate arrow]

what

[modest drift]

do i lose my company workshop works and apartments¿

[slate arrow]

did you mean transfer plot

[modest drift]

ye!

[slate arrow]

I don't believe so

[obsidian patio]

all workshop stuff stays intact when relocating

but if the house gets demolished then you lose all workshop recipes you learned and airship/submarine levels

Maybe the equipment for the airships/submarines too? can't remember if so.

[cloud adder]

Is my gear under leveled? Im playing scholar/summoner and my book is at level 30 while im at level 49

i was trying to figure otu why i was having so much trouble healing my tnak

[slate arrow]

definitely.

Your main weapon is the most important when it comes to damage, followed by your main stat for damage and heals

[elfin pelican]

thanks everyone who helped me 🙂

[spare pulsar]

Does anyone know if there is like an "RP etiquette" guide or something?

[cloud adder]

Is it worth it to upgrade my gear now, wont i have to upgrade soon as i work on msq?

[obsidian patio]

main essential I know is don't use public chat channels such as /say, /yell, and /shout except for public community evenets

and to keep it in linkshells/party chat/tells

beyond that it's something you'd likely have to ask roleplaying groups/discords for more specifics on how they do things.

[shut panther]

If you're actively working on msq it is not necessary to work on upgrading gear beyond "equip upgrades as they appear in front of you" whether quest rewards or dungeon drops

[hard aurora]

Its not unknown for randoms to be open to roleplay if they have the gold ‘Rp’ tag beside them so, go for it if you’d like, but otherwise Wynne’s got it c;

[spare pulsar]

Oh yeah linkshells. I need to do a bit more research on that. Most of the events that I have gone to so far were all public ones at FC housing or something. I just kind of felt out of place because I've never really RP'd and my DM's were getting wrecked.

[west idol]

how does the game know if your account is steam or not? afaik you only download the launcher from steam and then it's the same as everyone else

[spare pulsar]

Someone told me the "RP" icon next to your names means you're down for some weird shit. Is that true, or would that only be for when you're at erp events?

[shut panther]

The account itself is managed through Steam

[hard aurora]

@spare pulsar Hit or miss, id take care; it really puts the ‘random’ into things

[alpine shadow]

the code you use to register the game, is only unique to steam, which when you attempt to use that code, it wants you to login to your steam account, otherwise, if you are using the launcher trough steam, then you are already logged in to steam.

[west idol]

ahh i see

[alpine shadow]

though if you launch the launcher without steam, it will attempt to login to your non-steam account, aka where you buy from square enix or such.

[west idol]

i noticed now, on mogstation windows and steam are separated as well, i was asking just to make sure i wasn't gonna buy/register the game on the wrong version

[alpine shadow]

yeah, you can't use the different codes between em

steam only can use steam codes and expansion codes from steam

whilst standalone windows is just bought from square enix store or any other third party vendor

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I unlock Ultimate Alexander? I googled it and it said to finish Eden 4, which I did but still nothing

[slate arrow]

Eden 4 savage

Eden titan savage

because savage is the last step before ultimate

[alpine shadow]

After you have done E4S, then you need to talk to a ministrel in kugane

i think?

[west idol]

it sucks a bit that from a free trial you can't upgrade to either/move character and are stuck on whatever platform you happened to have downloaded on

but it's fine

[alpine shadow]

you do have the option to go from free trial -> steam

but you can't go from steam free trial -> standalone

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh wow that explains it, thank you

[jaunty flame]

what are the standard keybands to target yourself , enemy or allies?

[alpine shadow]

f1 is yourself

otherwise, not sure if you have defualt keybinds to set to enemy list, but you can set that up

[shut panther]

F1-5 is you and party

[alpine shadow]

both in party list and enemy list

[shut panther]

Enemies cycle with tab

[jaunty flame]

ok thanks i was like gotta choose the enemy which attacks me so i can target myself for heals

[shut panther]

Tbh I find clicking unit frames much easier on controller

[jaunty flame]

and if there are multiple mobs at the left side there are letters

[alpine shadow]

unselecting anyone makes you heal yourself by default, aka, pressing esc

[shut panther]

If you have an enemy targeted heals are self targeted

[jaunty flame]

do they have a meaning or something?

[leaden ginkgo]

farming cluster in bozja i better with tank or dps job (solo)

[shut panther]

Tank with bloodsucker, ideally Warrior

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont have war

[shut panther]

Then use a different tank, it's fine

And get the ability that gives you magic damage

[leaden ginkgo]

i was thinking
lost assassinnation with spirit essence beast

with dps job

is it good

how many goats should i sacrifice a day for yoshi-p our lord and saviour that saved this game from the ashes ?

[shut panther]

Nothing is going to beat a tank pulling 20 things at once

[slate arrow]

There's a hard cut off at 16 targets for aoe attacks based on what I've heard so

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[vague swan]

So I got a strange question, every time there is a voice cutscenes as in there is actual talking and not just having to read my graphics card overheats like hell (1080ti) checked last time there was a voice and it went from 82oC to 92oC and the fan kicked in to cool it down.
Anyone know why this is happening? Playing the game is fine, it jumps from around 82-85 but the second a voice cut scene happens it goes into overdrive.

[leaden ginkgo]

what actions should i bring

with bloodsucker

[shut panther]

Bloodsucker and whatever the ability that causes you to deal magic damage

Other one is whatever

[slate arrow]

I'd make the fan curve more aggressive

It sounds like you're running it in quiet mode rather than performance

Change the fan curve to be more aggressive

[leaden ginkgo]

the 4th mobs takes more damage from magic types ?

[alpine shadow]

have you tried limiting the framerate to 60?

[shut panther]

The mechs are all magic vuln yes

[leaden ginkgo]

sweet

[vague swan]

Nope could try that, have it running at 144 since I run 144hz monitor

[leaden ginkgo]

drk then ;3

[vague swan]

Where do I do that? In the graphics settings on nVidia?

[leaden ginkgo]

but sadly i dont know what to bring for drk to deal magic type

can you give me an ex

[alpine shadow]

you can change your fan curve if you use an oc program like afterburner

[shut panther]

I don't remember what the action is called, its something that makes all of your damage magic type

[vague swan]

Ok I’ll look into it when I get home.

[shut panther]

It's an unlimited ability that applies a 5m buff

[leaden ginkgo]

ay

what about the second slot ;3

[shut panther]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[vague swan]

Not sure im a plug and play kinda guy, so I’ll do some research when I get home just found it weird that the temp is “fine” until a cutscene happens

[leaden ginkgo]

bloodsucker + spellforge

[alpine shadow]

could be that the gpu thermal paste is bad

if your gpu is old

[faint flare]

I don't bother with spellforge when cluster farming

[hearty fable]

is elemantal knukle a relic weapon for monk?

[dawn mountain]

Is monk a lot different from samurai? I am kinda interested in leveling a new job, cant decide between bard and monk

[faint flare]

It's a 25% buff

[shut panther]

If you're a plug and play kind of guy you might want to make sure you're not filled with dust

[faint flare]

When yoy can take blood rage, banners or lost slash for stronger

[leaden ginkgo]

[vague swan]

It’s a 1080ti and probably about 1 1/2 year old.

[faint flare]

You want high burst wheb solo cluster farming

[leaden ginkgo]

what do you recomend then

[alpine shadow]

from bought or since manufactured? cause i doubt they refresh their thermal paste?

[faint flare]

On warrior, bloodsucker + lost slash + banner of Sacrifice/Noble ends/blood rage

[leaden ginkgo]

Drk

[nocturne wyvern]

It is. It’s not as heavy movement and has much higher burst.

[leaden ginkgo]

dont have war leveled

[shut panther]

lost slash isn't going to do much for a not Warrior, but yeah banner/blood rage/power is fine

[vague swan]

From when my mate bought it, I bought his old setup but he had just purchased the card a bit before.

[faint flare]

Then you probably want blood rage, Font of Power or banner

Any combination of the two

[leaden ginkgo]

oki Thanks !

[faint flare]

And preferably kill before the buffs expire

[leaden ginkgo]

Has ACT updated yet?

[faint flare]

Cause you won't have healing to sustain for long

Especially if you're pulling zone 1

[nocturne wyvern]

@dawn mountain When you play sam and gear it out you’ll hit those big numbers and it feels great. Mnk is much more sustained steady damage in comparison.

[leaden ginkgo]

👍

[faint flare]

Alternative jobs to solo farn are white mage or casters with flare star

Seraph strike + burst on White mage murders shit

And flare star melts mobs

[shut panther]

You should yell for a group regardless though

Solo farming is needlessly inefficient if you can find someone else to group with

[elfin pelican]

Hi, as a new player, is it a good a idea to start as a healer? The leveling is harder for a healer than for a dps? (coming from wow, where lvling healers is not a good idea if you are doing quests)

I was thinking in a whitemage or astrologian (after lvl50), or just start with a ninja or monk

[nocturne wyvern]

Healer damage is fine for solo leveling but you’ll level faster once you can start grouping for dungeons.

[faint flare]

Healers do, and are expected to do good damage

You'll be fine

Just press your buttons

[nocturne wyvern]

Healers aren’t balanced for swapping to a dps spec to level in this game.

[shut panther]

Healers level faster than DPs do

[elfin pelican]

at what lvl can i start queue for dungeons?

[shut panther]

16

[nocturne wyvern]

I believe he was referring to speed of killing mobs.

15

Not 16

[nocturne wyvern]

Also to clarify, it’s 15 and clearing a certain amount of main story quests. Nearly all of the content is locked behind it and you cannot bypass it and power level to endgame.

[shut panther]

Really the key difference from wow that you should be aware of is that questing is by no means optional

[elfin pelican]

yep, i saw some videos about it, but if i can do the main quests fine with healer, i am happy

Otherwise that would be bad game design

You’ll probably have an easier time doing main story quests as a healer tbh.

[solemn jewel]

as soon as u get holy its just BRRRR

[elfin pelican]

also read that for endgame, healers are in demand

[nocturne wyvern]

They have fast queue times if that’s what you mean.

[shut panther]

Demand for actual endgame (read: Savage raiding) is pretty even

Dungeon queues absolutely favour healers and tanks though

[elfin pelican]

sounds good for me 🙂

[nocturne wyvern]

I was worried about this when I started the game and found out about the one character can be everything. That you’d be expected to just swap to dps to speed up solo play. I’m glad that wasn’t the case.

[dawn gazelle]

why is act

not working today

[solemn jewel]

maintenance

[agile laurel]

act is always broke by a game patch

no matter how big or small

it'll likely be working again in under 24hrs

[waxen siren]

Is trust dungeon gear for a different class any use to me? Or do I just sell it to a vendor?

[nocturne wyvern]

You could use it for other classes.

If you don’t plan on that just get rid of it.

[tender ice]

What does this icon mean?

[waxen siren]

Thanks

[faint flare]

It's a fate

[shut panther]

Combat fate

[nocturne wyvern]

That’s a kill X amount of mobs fate.

[tender ice]

oh

[astral edge]

how do you figure out optimal crafting rotations while levelling? i still have trouble deciding whether to do tricks of the trade or a touch action when i have a 'good' state

seems like most crafting rotation stuff is only for level 80

[faint flare]

A bunch of maths

And judging CP usages

[astral edge]

what kinda math

[cloud adder]

Ive apparently come across a lot of unique untradable items, should ijust sell most of them?

[faint flare]

efficiency to CP cost, CP expenditures, things like that

Can't use your stats without cp

[shut panther]

tbh I would just recommend team craft and experimentation with it

[astral edge]

i dont really know how to use teamcraft confidently

[shut panther]

The other option of course is to look up ishgard leveling guides, match their gear and use them

[astral edge]

im literally guessing random rotations and seeing what gives the most quality at the end

[shut panther]

Basically you search the item you're looking to craft, input your stats and then you have crafting actions you can input

[astral edge]

ive never done ishgard restoration, dont know what it is and im too scared to ask

[faint flare]

It's literally just normal crafting

And turning items into an npc for alot of xp

And yoy get more xp the higher quality it is

[shut panther]

90% of crafting can be described as "get inner quiet as high as possible before byregots while leaving enough durability to finish progress"

[astral edge]

i dont have byregots

i do inner quiet > waste not > innovation

[hardy hatch]

where can i see the patch notes from today?

[midnight tinsel]

is the sb raid important story wise ( is it more like arr or hw raid )?

[faint flare]

Lodestone

When they're available

[shut panther]

It's not as important as ARR, but moreso than hw

[hardy hatch]

is that a site?

[midnight tinsel]

kk

[faint flare]

It's the official 14 news site

[shut panther]

Wait are you talking the 8m or 24m

[hardy hatch]

kk, ty

[shut panther]

What I said is in reference to the 24m, 8m importance is pretty even across expansions

[faint flare]

Can also look in #lodestone-news-na cause the bot posts as well

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s required for the shb relic and it adds a bit more context to the viera and the dalmascan folks.

[warm snow]

It's also a ton ff12 fanservice

[midnight tinsel]

huh sb raids are required for shb ?

interesting

[nocturne wyvern]

I myself am not a fan of ff12 but I always appreciate lore and world building.

[warm snow]

For ShB side content

Ot for ShB itself

[midnight tinsel]

yeah meant that

of course not msq

[warm snow]

Arr alliance raids are the only occurrence of a mandatory raid series so far

And it's well worth it

[nocturne wyvern]

The specific shb side content doesn’t make sense without having completed the sb raids canonically so they made it required for that step.

[midnight tinsel]

ah kk

but i wont miss out if i do sb raids after finishing shb msq ?

[shut panther]

not at all

It's 100% side content

[midnight tinsel]

ok awesome

[shut panther]

It's just side content that tracks across both expansions

[midnight tinsel]

so not like arr raid and hw

thx for the perfect answers = D

[shut panther]

I mean, the hw 24 raids are basically self contained

[midnight tinsel]

oh i mean the real raids

coils alexander etc

[nocturne wyvern]

Pure speculation, if the npc’s pop up in EW (which I think they will) you’ll probably get different dialogue if you’ve cleared the sb raids.

[shut panther]

Oh, the 8 man's are all of roughly similar story importance

[midnight tinsel]

you think so ?

[shut panther]

There are some things in the shb msq that will make more sense with the context that SB raids provide

[midnight tinsel]

i wouldnt comapre alex and coils

coils seem a whole lot more important then alex

alex felt pretty self contained

[shut panther]

Shb msq references both Alex and Omega

[midnight tinsel]

oh ok

im not that far

[nocturne wyvern]

There is a fairly significant dialogue difference in sb if you’ve cleared coil or not.

[midnight tinsel]

ok then the plan is do omega after sb and skip the alliance till later

[shut panther]

Probably a good plan.

[midnight tinsel]

thx for the help 👍

[uneven dune]

Bruh this game is literally too popular to work

[shell skiff]

Hey guys I am lvl my botany and I am at lvl 15 I am following a guide but I can’t enter the diadem? Is there a precursor ?

Pre-quest *

[solemn jewel]

Did u do heavensward?

[shell skiff]

Yes

I am on stormblood atm

[solemn jewel]

Started the Ishgard restauration? with access to firmament?

[shell skiff]

Yes

[astral edge]

is ishgard restoration for crafting literally just make x and turn it in?

[shell skiff]

Every time I talk to Autvael he doesn’t give me an option and just stops the conversation

[solemn jewel]

is ur botany equipped

[shell skiff]

Yup !

[solemn jewel]

did u talk to all ppl there

[shell skiff]

Yup 👍

[empty sparrow]

Hi, im here to ask about world transfer. To get the exp bonus on a preferred world, can i transfer from a normal world to a preferred and get the bonus? And will the transfer be free or is that only for transferring from congested worlds?

[heavy wadi]

only when you transfer from a congested world

is it free

[umbral dune]

have you got yourself a detour around the firmament (meet 5 npc)? @shell skiff , ending with 2 guys, one is the turn in and the other is the entry

[empty sparrow]

oh

[shell skiff]

Yeah but I got here o talked to everyone 😦

I am missing something but I am not sure what haha

[umbral dune]

talk in order by the quest

[empty sparrow]

what about the exp bonus? is that also only for congested?

[burnt bison]

ayo guys, anyone who mains ninja or is atleast pretty good at it, what would be the best ninjutsu combo for a single person? since i Know that most of them are for groups. just wondering, wanna learn how to play it better.

[umbral dune]

not talk randomly

[shell skiff]

I don’t have any quest markers though should I just talk to all the NPC again

[sharp spoke]

Is there a website that helps you give a clear list of what you need to gather in total in order to craft something? There was something similar for GW2 but I dont remember the name (although you needed an API key to have it look into your inventory)

[umbral dune]

you meet the leader? @shell skiff

[shell skiff]

Yup

[umbral dune]

talk to the board?

[shell skiff]

Hmm I don’t remember that specific step but let me try

[sacred oracle]

different?

[umbral dune]

there is no actual quest step but rather right after you finish entering the Firmament quest, there will be notice prompted from chat to tell you what to do next which talking with 2 crafting npc and end with 2 gathering npc, one allow you to enter Diadem

[green grail]

teamcraft

[storm sapphire]

What's the fastest level 1-49 dungeon to unsync through?

[umbral dune]

stone vigil

kill kill kill, no mechanic

[storm sapphire]

alright sick, thanks

[green grail]

yes, form shift is a gcd that deals no damage, you only want to use it during boss downtime or before the fight starts, perfect balance is an off-global cooldown that you more or less use as a burst phase to spam dragon kick - bootshine a few times in a row

[storm sapphire]

oh also what's the fastest class that can power through dungeons speed wise unsynced?

[umbral dune]

you gain zero exp while unsync

so no except you turn sync while undersize which is counterintuitive

[sacred oracle]

i see thank you

[storm sapphire]

doin it for wondrous tails, not exp

[umbral dune]

then go on, drag all mob to boss, kill and repeat

[storm sapphire]

that's the plan, but I wanted to know what job/class would be able to clear it the fastest, whether it be tanks with their rechargeable 2 dashes, or ninja with their faster speed, or blu with the solo speed buff, if anyone knows the answer to that

[burnt bison]

this changed

[sacred oracle]

so that's 3 dragon kick + 3 bootshine is that correct?

[heavy wadi]

that was sent a month ago

[open coral]

... why are you responding to something I said over a month ago?

[wet cradle]

quickest way to gather 60 maps every day?

timeworn

[burnt bison]

why not

[left whale]

Dial up internet is brutal

[open coral]

Buy them on the MB

[wet cradle]

I said gather? O.o

[sacred oracle]

time gated

[umbral dune]

do your wondrous have any alexander normal? would not unsync that faster?

[sacred oracle]

18h/map

[wet cradle]

thats still not what I asked

wtf is wrong here xD

[left whale]

Make 60 accounts

[storm sapphire]

its got cuff of the father

[gloomy mortar]

How do you check to see which Modern Aesthetics hairstyles you have?

[open coral]

You asked a question where the answer is "unless you buy them on the MB, you literally can't because the game system won't let you"

[wet cradle]

buy = gather

I see

omfg

[open coral]

But "buy them on the MB" is quicker than typing that all out.

[left whale]

Just make 60 accounts and u can gather your 60 maps

[last sapphire]

yea, better the collectability the higher the reward, you craft different stuff every 20 levels

[wet cradle]

ah I see the problem

[faint flare]

You can only get 1 per 18 hours

[wet cradle]

lvl 60 maps

I thought that was obvious

[open coral]

lol

No

[heavy wadi]

it wasn't :p

[wet cradle]

welp

just for me then

[umbral dune]

that would be way faster than dg, as you travel like 30secs only

[open coral]

@wet cradle In that case, the answer is probably more along the lines of "find a zone with a lot of nodes in a small area and just farm them until you get a map"

[wet cradle]

yup and I was asking for that zone 😄

it must be lvl 55 gather point right?

or 60?

[open coral]

Hmm, probably Coerthas Western Highlands or Dravanian Hinterlands would be the best for that.

They're from level 60 nodes.

[wet cradle]

oh damn

thanks

[open coral]

Level 60 map = level 60 node

[leaden ginkgo]

ccan someone tell me how i read this? also what do i selecto nthe drop down box? https://i.imgur.com/3q9Um0S.png

[astral edge]

whats collectability

[shut panther]

basically quality %

[last sapphire]

basically the quality rating of a collectable

higher = better

there's a minimum value required to get a reward in ishgardian restoration for everything you craft

[leaden ginkgo]

@astral edge

[shut panther]

where most items quality is binary HQ or not, collectables have a range of quality

[broken python]

any solid optimal performance (graphics/fps) guides? After a month of playing I realized going from "high" to "normal" on Tesselation gave me +20fps 😐

[shut panther]

https://www.logicalincrements.com/games/pc-building-guide-final-fantasy-14-ffxiv this is a bit outdated but probably still mostly accurate

[wintry sable]

Can i turn allegory and revelation into poetics?

[astral edge]

hold on do you need to complete heavensward to do ishgard restoration?

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so does anyone know how i can make one of my hotbars be shift+ a number? currently my 3rd hotbar doesnt have any shortcut or anything. its just there lol

[umbral dune]

post HW up to 3.3

[shut panther]

you cannot

they will convert to poetics in less than 3 months though, whether you like it or not

[shut panther]

you have to set hotkeys individually in the hotkeys config

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thx u

[tacit spindle]

What's the best place to watch lore deep dives on the story?

[astral edge]

dammit

[umbral dune]

||it is the end of Dragonsong War|| which is why we done restoration that late

[little swift]

It sells in marketboard

[civic spoke]

Is it possible to make the chat window disappear when you’re not using it?

[open coral]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

does bozja give good exp for low rank? i haven't ranked it up that much yet and i want to level my alt jobs

[civic spoke]

How so?

[open coral]

Right click on the chat box > Hide Chat

[civic spoke]

On console? Lol

[shut panther]

rank doesn't matter for exp

[open coral]

Uh, there should be a gear icon to the right of the chat box with the hide chat option.

iirc

I can't look in game right now.

[little swift]

The minions don't have as much resell use when compared to soil since lots of people do gardening and need a lot of soil

Whereas minions are one and done and also 3 poetics

Most people can probably cough out 3 poetics whenever

Its server dependent anyways

Soil is selling to marketboard

The price varies

[open coral]

The flaw in your thinking is considering poetics as a finite and difficult to obtain resource.

[shut panther]

sitting there selling and buying minions sounds like a lot more effort than the gil is worth

[leaden ginkgo]

That really depends on the way the market is swinging. You can make more off soil by holding back until the market demand goes up

[open coral]

Whereas poetics are dead easy to farm, making it no risk, high reward to flip soil.

[shut panther]

like yeah, maybe technically you can make more money flipping the minions

but holy hell, time value of money

[leaden ginkgo]

Selling to npcs is a net loss vs. the market board.

[warm snow]

Yes and no

[leaden ginkgo]

[warm snow]

You have to know when to take the loss due to limited market board space on your retainers

I'm not gonna waste space selling iron ingots for 25gil each when I could be selling mythril for 450 each

[astral edge]

should i really try levelling all my crafters at the same time?

[leaden ginkgo]

Depends on the context of just getting materials that are selling in supply an demand.

[leaden ginkgo]

so i just need to spam fates?

hey, will the FFXIII' event coming back anytime soon ?

[open coral]

Yes. They're interdependent, so it's cheaper.

[astral edge]

10 siltstones whetstones are like fucking 30k and i have only 315k

and i need those for levequests

[shut panther]

yeah, but you should get relic quests up to double dip tbh

[open coral]

The "Lightning Returns" one? It may never come back.

[shut panther]

and you should rank up when you can

[leaden ginkgo]

shit

k, thanks

[shut panther]

the lightning returns event probably isn't coming back, the items are on mogstation for a reason

Wonder if we'll get yokai back in another 4 years

[boreal storm]

If reaper gets the Yokai that killed the MC in one of the movies, I’d lose it

[rancid onyx]

can i swap a character from cactuar to a crystal world for free?

[warm snow]

No

I don't think so anyways

!faq worldtype

[zinc orbit]

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

[warm snow]

Yeah doesn't look like it

[astral edge]

is it worth it to take 30 mins doing one levequest with hq items turned in compared to 3 mins with nq

[rancid onyx]

ah, its only new characters rip

[boreal storm]

I swear congested > preferred was a free transfer

[warm snow]

Oh no @rancid onyx, congested to preferred is free

It's just not in that command

[lost sinew]

what would i NOT be able to do on pc in endwalker if i bought endwalker for ps4 only…?

[misty flicker]

I'd say yes. You can get around 3 lvlups for HQ items

[rancid onyx]

do i still get the bonuses on an old character?

[warm snow]

Log in in level 81+ zones or as Endwalker jobs or anything over 80 afaik

[warm snow]

10 gold choco feathers and reimbursement of housing costs

[lost sinew]

oh wow so it’d be like “you can’t log in” if i was on an endwalker job

[rancid onyx]

i dont get the xp bonus?

[boreal storm]

No

[astral edge]

do you need to be subbing to be able to refer a friend?

[old pewter]

made my character on bryn while it was still preferred before, would i be able to move them to mateus now that crystal's all preferred and would i be able to keep road to 70 if i did?

[warm snow]

No

[rancid onyx]

wack

[warm snow]

Can't use home world transfer until that expires

[old pewter]

sad, thank you

[river vortex]

is there a way of identifying which item is bound to a certain gear set? it annoying to check one by one when im trying to desynth...

is there an icon on the item itself on the desynth screen

?

[old pewter]

is it possible to check what date a character was made?

[unkempt hull]

can you get the bozja relic at 70 on alts and start working on it?

[heavy wadi]

no

[warm snow]

No. Cant make the base relic without a level 80 job

[heavy wadi]

alt job has to be 80 to get a relic

and you need to be 71 to get into bozja/zadnor

[remote current]

I can't seem to make Sightseeing log locations work. The conditions are all met yet it does not allow me to finish the location.

[umbral dune]

nope but you can move non-gear set to inventory and desynth there to minimize the risk

[heavy wadi]

not all are completed with /lookout, it's sometimes other emotes

[warm snow]

Arr sightseeing locations are time and weather locked

[heavy wadi]

also that too ^

[warm snow]

Also there's different emotes sometimes

[remote current]

I'm using this https://tylian.net/sslog/ and it says the current one I am at should be available. #44

[amber knot]

I there anywhere I can ask for a technical issue? Cause im getting DirectX11 Fatal Errors multiple times a day

Ive searched the web about this, but none of the recommended fixes, including those on the official AMD and FFXIV forums have helped

[compact forge]

All the Aether servers are full and have been for an hour or more. Am I just waiting for someone to log off? I just downloaded the game and have no clue how the server pop. works

[fair spoke]

When does the game realy start to be more fun ? Im lvl 17 and all i have to do is run from A to B ..

[compact forge]

@amber knot Have you been running it in admin mode?

[misty flicker]

Youll gnonna do this for a Long time

[compact forge]

cough cough buy the story boost haha

[warm snow]

Your current level means nothing

What matters is your current level in the msq

[misty flicker]

Sadly the beginning is kinda tedious, but it gets better.

[misty flicker]

If you really Not interested in the Story, you can do it. No one's judging

[astral edge]

is it a good idea to also do gathering in conjuction with omnicrafting so i can try get hq materials?

[warm snow]

Yes, except for fishing

Cuz fishing is largely it's own thing

[compact forge]

You can always buy the boost and watch the youtube summery. Its a few hours long haha.

[boreal storm]

But msq exp

[misty flicker]

But I'd recommend sticking to it and Mix it up with other tasks, quests that are more enjoyable to you until it catches you

[warm snow]

If your character is only level 17 you probably haven't even gotten to the first dungeon yet

[astral edge]

so i could probs like get hq materials each time i do a crafter levequest in order to get hq materials for that, while also doing a gatherer levequest? (is that also the best way to level for gatherers?)

[misty flicker]

Idk about leve quests but daily supplies to your Grand Comapny is a fast way to Level gatherer and crafter

It's Always around your crafting/gathering Level too

[floral snow]

How do you reclaim class-specific gear again?

Like I want to glamour my level 50 scholar set from the job quests, but I think I got rid of it

Oh lol I think I just found it, it's at the Calamity Salvager

[misty flicker]

Calamity Salvager i think

[floral snow]

Sorry lol

[wintry chasm]

Not all are at the salvager but yeah that one is as you found

[river oasis]

what do you do with old tome equips?

[wintry chasm]

Keep them for other jobs or trade them at your GC if you can

Up to you

[hot eagle]

cant make a new character on the aether dc now its classified as congested since today till they change it again it stays closed off for new chars

[vague vapor]

Can I request a meld for any kind gear? Eg: request a meld for Cryptlurker

[wintry chasm]

The gear needs to have meld slots otherwise yes

[rancid onyx]

is crystal a rp data center?

[vague vapor]

like so?

[cursive ridge]

what are mount speeds in terms of +%% movespeed?

[boreal storm]

We have well known RP worlds

[wintry chasm]

It's the most RP data center yeah. Not say that's all they do of course

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[vague vapor]

ffxiv real poggers

[rancid onyx]

iirc theyre all the same

[wintry chasm]

I think they mean compared to running speed

[astral edge]

whats the best way to level gatherers? is it also levequests?

[wintry chasm]

Levequests, grand company and beast tribe stuff, custom deliveries, Ishgard Restoration

[cursive ridge]

there are different tiers of mount movespeed that get unlocked as you play, i just wanted to know the number percentage

[wintry chasm]

You have a lot of decent options

[cursive ridge]

the game is very coy to not give the value for some reason

[boreal storm]

Because you don’t need the numbers

[cursive ridge]

i want to know the numbers

[astral edge]

whats custom deliveries

[boreal storm]

You’re going faster that’s all that matters

[cursive ridge]

how fast though

i found this sentence on the wiki While flying, the flying mounts have 200% of the speed of a regular ground mount. While running grounded, the flying mounts will be the same speed as a ground mounts (100%).

[hot eagle]

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

[cursive ridge]

but i wonder what the speeds are for ground mounts with/without upgrade

[wintry chasm]

They are a weekly reset thing where you can give collectable items to NPC clients and get a lot of scrips, XP, and other items while progressing and they tell little stories. The first one requires you to be level 60 but can be used for leveling 50-60 and there are clients at 60/70/70

[cursive ridge]

because it feels like wow speeds, which are +60% and +100%

[boreal storm]

And when you max them out, you can change their outfits

[wintry chasm]

For most NPCs

[boreal storm]

If they wear clothes

[wintry chasm]

Not all of them

[wintry chasm]

Even then not all of them

||M'naago|| for example

[boreal storm]

Shame, utter shame

[cursive ridge]

found this

i wonder what's the no star and 1star ground speeds are though

[hollow hedge]

is retrieving level 6 materia 100% chance?

[boreal storm]

Only the highest speed is used

[agile laurel]

Fleet of foot is ninja's trait, yes?

[cursive ridge]

yeah

sure but i dont have highest speed unlocked in most of the game's zones yet

in fact i dont have any 2star zones yet

[boreal storm]

Because you don’t need it

[amber knot]

No I havent

[boreal storm]

Flight is max speed

[cursive ridge]

it is not for you to decide what do i need

[west idol]

if im doing leveling roulette with healer and a friend is dps, does he also get the adventurer in need bonus because of me?

[boreal storm]

Fine if you really need that 2nd star filled, riding maps

You buy riding maps

[modest igloo]

nope, only you

[elfin pelican]

Hi, what is the diference between a server legacy and a normal?

[agile laurel]

None

Legacy servers were servers that existed in 1.0

Nothing more

[inland wraith]

Is it worth going for a aesthete gear set for crafting this close to the next expansion? I don't really intend to make Exarchic gear, just wondering if it will be beneficial when going for 90 vs. the white scrip set I already have

[elfin pelican]

ty

[agile laurel]

Pentameld aesthete will likely see you most of the way to 90

[modest igloo]

if you're going for expert recipes also yes its worth

[gusty cipher]

White scrip will get you to 90 fine, aesthete would have a slight advantage, but by no means would b required

[elfin pelican]

there was a web to check when i can create a pj in a server?

[supple pebble]

So, glasses are always on top of my head. When I see them in the armory, it shows them being worns instead. Is there a command/something i'm doing wrong? I want this idiot to wear the glasses >:(

[vocal cobalt]

I am new to ffxiv

Anyone suggest a class to start

[wintry chasm]

Yes, I forget the command but in the character menu below your character portrait is a change visor button which changes that

I assume the command is /visor

[solemn jewel]

Any that sounds fun to u

[wintry chasm]

Really whatever you find most interesting

[solemn jewel]

U can switch very quickly

[river vortex]

I have a question about positionals. I'm trying out pugilist, and it has a lot of positionals. When i try to circle around to hit a monster from the rear, there's a delay between me pushing the button and the attack actually happening, and the monster usually turns around in the meanwhile. When should i press the buttons to get the positionals right?

[vocal cobalt]

I am thinking of going gladiator,marauderer or lancer

[wintry chasm]

Registers on button press not animation

[upbeat shard]

is the Sub model like wow? Do i get any Benefits of the subscription?

[solemn jewel]

Glad and marauder are tanks just fyi

[river vortex]

if its all the same for you, pick lancer since it fits with heavenwards story

i would at least

[vocal cobalt]

Are tanks hard for new players

[solemn jewel]

Nope

Very straight forward

Plus faster qs

[solemn jewel]

I think u get glam

[gusty cipher]

Also, don't really worry about positionals much when doing solo content, as it's a PITA. You'll unlock the True North role ability at like 44 to help somewhat, but it often just won't work right when you're 1v1

[wintry chasm]

With tanks it's just more noticeable when you fuck up since you're in front

[solemn jewel]

It doesn't matter much in early content tho

[upbeat shard]

So i have to pay the DLC and a Subscription?

[solemn jewel]

Yes

[upbeat shard]

k ty

[sturdy brook]

Is there a better way of earning Allied Seals then just regular hunts? I mean it's only 100 a week + whatever scraps normal ones give

[wintry chasm]

Yeah you only really have that and stuns to help for melees

[wintry chasm]

Can join hunt groups to kill A and S ranks. They give a lot

[wintry chasm]

Clan Centurio discord is good for stuff like that

[upbeat shard]

Do i get a level Boost, if i buy the new DLC?

[solemn jewel]

No

[wintry chasm]

New DLC just gives you the DLC content that's it

[solemn jewel]

U get a 30% exp earring but ffxiv isn't a game solely for endgame

[wintry chasm]

That's only if you preorder

Not the same thing

[final girder]

Not sure why I can only apply the plate for two items ?

[solemn jewel]

Who wouldn't preorder

[sturdy brook]

How do I join them?

[woeful kestrel]

Either you aren’t high enough lvl to equip the glamoured gear or it’s not for your job

[shell geyser]

hello, anyone knows if and when the previous behemoth fight happened in Chaos - Omega?

[woeful kestrel]

Still have to abide by the gear requirements even for glam

[wintry chasm]

I can't quite see your level and the gear because phone too small but it's very likely because the gear you are wearing has a lower level requirement than what you are trying to use the appearance of

[final girder]

I'm lvl 60 and they're lvl 60

[wintry chasm]

Your top is level 50 though

It's not based on YOUR level

It's based on your gear's level

You can't glam the appearance of gear that is a higher level requirement (not item level) on a piece of gear that is lower level

[cursive gull]

any clue how often !me refreshes the player avatar? havent looked like that for a while

[final girder]

Do you mean it's becasue I have ilvl 130 gear at some place and I want to place ilvl 205 ?

[wintry chasm]

NOT item level

Your ilvl 130 gear is level 50

[final girder]

Got you

[wintry chasm]

Your 205 is level 60

It's that 50 and 60 that is the problem

[faint flare]

You can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear

[final girder]

The glamour system is pretty bad, so many inconvenience for something that is only aesthetic

[wintry chasm]

I mean, it makes sense. Why glam an item on a lower piece of gear when you can just wear the equipment you want the appearance of flat out

[final girder]

I didn't know that so put them in the dresser now, I don't want to take them out just to equip for one day

[wintry chasm]

Well regardless the easy solution is just get, idk, shire gear or something

[final girder]

Yep that's what I'm getting

Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

i have reached lvl 80 on my DRK, should i just buy exarchic gear off the MB?

[faint flare]

If you want to skip the gear grind

[leaden ginkgo]

So, I just made an alt on Zalera since all of Crystal went to being Preferred Worlds, but apparently it didn't get the Road to 70 buff. Why doesn't it? Do alts just not get the buff?

[shut panther]

you should have

🤔

[leaden ginkgo]

...Square Enix be trollin me

[elfin pelican]

does it takes long to open character creation in servers? I want to join one with some friends

[leaden ginkgo]

...Oh, I relogged and now I got it. Huh, might've been a display thing, nvm

[astral edge]

for crafting, is it better to have a rotation that could give more quality or a rotation thats guaranteed to atleast give x quality

[misty flicker]

You can create a character and Switch to another world in the Same Datacenter

[astral edge]

like guaranteed to give more quality than the other rotation guarantees, but still lower the what the other rotation could give

[misty flicker]

So as Long as the whole Datacenter aint Blocker there should be No problem

[elfin pelican]

can you switch to another world permanently and free?

[misty flicker]

You can 'Travel' from Omega to Moogle for example with almost No downsides

[cunning loom]

not a good idea if you want to join their fc/marry them though

[misty flicker]

Just interact with your Home aethercrystal

[cunning loom]

since you need to be on the same home server to do that

[misty flicker]

But for a while until you can Switch it definitely

[cunning loom]

servers open up randomly; just check at offpeak hours

[storm sapphire]

When banner of noble ends says "Reduces own HP recovery via most healing actions by 100%" Does that mean you can't heal people, or people can't heal you?

[hardy hatch]

what should i do with MSQ gear already used? sell to a NPC?

[dusty shard]

when the gathering manual say the effect is half after lvl 50

what is getting half

[boreal storm]

Desynth, GC turn in

[dusty shard]

the amount gain or the total amount gain

[misty flicker]

Desynthesize or give it to your Grand Comapny If you really don't need it anymore

[hardy hatch]

i think i need lvl80 to desynthesize

[sour nymph]

Hello

[boreal storm]

You don’t

[sour nymph]

I hav question

What is strongest tank?

[boreal storm]

Lvl 30 to desynth

[hardy hatch]

where do i do it

[misty flicker]

They all got their pros and cons

[sour nymph]

Like the tank that goes brrr

[umbral dune]

people cant heal you, sound like ramuh mechanic

[sour nymph]

I mean heavy damag

[boreal storm]

What crafters have you leveled

[dusty shard]

when the gathering manual say the effect is half after lvl 50
what is getting half
the amount gain or the total amount gain

[vocal cobalt]

Which is better paladin or warrior

[hardy hatch]

only weaver lvl40

[boreal storm]

And the gear probably isn’t weaver-made so you can’t do anything

[hardy hatch]

and for GC seals i can only turn in blue gear and dungeon gear, idk why

[boreal storm]

Because that’s how it works

[hardy hatch]

so how do i turn into seals MSQ gear? like you said

[faint flare]

It makes anything with a healing POTENCY heal you for 0

[misty flicker]

Later MSQ Gear be blue

[faint flare]

Lifesteal effects like bloodbath, essenses will heal you but self heals like second wind won't work

[boreal storm]

(+50%) instead of (+100%) along with the exp limit from the manual

[ivory badge]

Is maintenance over?

[hardy hatch]

is it really worth it to hold on to this gear to desynthesize or just sell it?

[ivory badge]

Thanks

[misty flicker]

Not rly

Sell, discard

[hardy hatch]

cause im in need for some space, i'll sell it, ty

[vocal cobalt]

Which is better paladin or warrior

[faint flare]

Yes

[misty flicker]

Exactly

[boreal storm]

They’re all good enough in various situations that it doesn’t matter

[simple pine]

is there a way to move hud precisely? like x pixels up

[leaden ginkgo]

is it possible to use this item on multiple crafters just for like glam? https://i.imgur.com/FJzt5Fn.png as it looks really nice but i cant figure out a way

[faint flare]

No

[boreal storm]

Only gold smith

[leaden ginkgo]

;--;

sadge

[faint flare]

That one is goldsmiths

[boreal storm]

It says right there

[leaden ginkgo]

ye i knwo but i was wondering if its glam its different or whatever

[oak nacelle]

someones being

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant find any good glam for the bunny grill ;-; halp

[oak nacelle]

super mean and toxic to me in dungeon

how do i report

[misty flicker]

Clickon His Name in Chat box

[bold grail]

Is there any reward or benefit to doing the Stone, sky, and Sea training dummies? Other than just training?

[simple pine]

no rewards, it is just useful because it resets long cooldowns for practice

[boreal storm]

No, SSS isn’t even that good

[wheat pulsar]

Has maintenance finished or is it later?

[misty flicker]

Finished

[wheat pulsar]

Great

[lucid narwhal]

is the Tyrannosaur Mount only obtainable from lockboxes?

[tropic summit]

oh damn that's actually a nice bit of info
why can't training dummies reset long cooldowns as part of reset enmity?

[rancid onyx]

is lvl 80 endgame gear better when synced than lvl 60 endgame gear?

[faint flare]

System > support desk > report harassment

[little swift]

Yes it would be better

[patent citrus]

been getting into pet movement lately.. anyone knows why this is happening?

[cunning loom]

yes

[little swift]

Because you cap it more substats once you meet the ilvl threshold for it

[cunning loom]

only lockboxes in anemos specifically

[little swift]

But the difference is marginal at best

[patent citrus]

why the name doesn't show?

It says "during battle"???

[vocal cobalt]

Which is better paladin or warrior

[patent citrus]

now it's always on, but still disappear during battle!!!

[cunning loom]

i find warrior easier to use and more fun

[little swift]

You had your questioned answer they're both good@vocal cobalt

[cunning loom]

but paladin looks nicer glam-wise

[little swift]

Have you restarted the game

[cunning loom]

try both and see how they feel

[misty flicker]

They both good

All classes in this Game are balanced (except BLU)

Just try which suits you best or whats more to your liking

[exotic ridge]

once you buy something off the online shop it takes long till it delivers? didnt recive a mail yet , been like an hour

[faint flare]

It can vary

Up to 24hours

Depends on how busy the servers are

[exotic ridge]

ok thanks

[tropic frigate]

What is the fastest way to earn revelation tomes?

[faint flare]

Hunt trains

[zealous flower]

is there a way to report getting stuck in geometry in game, first time it's actually happened to me in the year i've been playing

[cunning loom]

support desk/contact us/report a bug

and then after you're done you can just teleport out

maybe provide your coordinates too

[zealous flower]

like i can just TP out but would just like, yeah

[rancid onyx]

paladin if you want sustained damage and some party utility, warrior for self sustain and F E L L C L E A V E

[burnt bison]

what is a better deal gametime codes or just auto subscription?

[cunning loom]

i'm lazy so autosub

brain's too smooth to manage gametime codes

[faint flare]

Time cards use the standard subscription which costs more

[burnt bison]

so they are equal in price if you do the standard correct?

[faint flare]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

90 days/3 months = $41.97
180 days/6 months = $77.94

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/iPm8PE2.png

[faint flare]

Only if you sub for 180 days is it equal to entry

[elfin pelican]

how can you switch definitely?

[burnt bison]

alright I'm lazy, so I'ma just autosub on normal whynot

[misty flicker]

You can buy world Transfer in the online store

[faint flare]

Only new ones

[patent citrus]

what lv are you in MSQ?

[unkempt hull]

how do you get gold rating on fates

[patent citrus]

more contribution

[faint flare]

Do more damage

For more contribution

[unkempt hull]

is there a % minimum

[faint flare]

Not really

[unkempt hull]

ok thank you

[wintry inlet]

[lucid narwhal]

[faint flare]

No

[lucid narwhal]

where is Eureka anemos?

[cloud adder]

How do i incrase the average item level of my items?

[leaden ginkgo]

I can't use Allagan Tomestones of Poetics on anything in Shadowbringers content right? Its only for old content stuff?

Like theres no vendor in Shadowbringers who uses them right?

[boreal storm]

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

[boreal storm]

Number 2 is your job quests
