im currently level 25 at eureka pagos, does that mean I can not join the NMs at the upper map?

queen flame
#

Anyone knows if theres a good fishing guide out there? like where to fish, which bait, etc to complete the fishing log?

obsidian patio
#

just play it careful on getting there if you're solo

gritty aurora
#

i thought they dont give stats?

#

the cosmetics i mean

obsidian patio
#

Correct. The weapons with stats are barebones level 50 stuff that's i50

#

basically the worst a level 50 weapon can be

glamour doesn't consume the item you used for the looks

gritty aurora
#

even if it has bad stats?

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.

I've set up additional hotbars on my screen, but unlike my 3 "main" ones, the spell on it don't change when I switch job, any clue why ?

obsidian patio
#

Character config > hotbar settings > share

#

lets you decide which hotbars are job-specific or not

lunar quail
#

Thanks !

gritty aurora
#

so if i buy these horns

#

and glamour them

#

ill be able to wear it without the stats?

obsidian patio
#

you'll be able to wear normal gear with the looks of the horns

queen flame
gritty aurora
#

how tho

honest lotus
#

If I wanna go through a dungeon/trial again for glamour fast will unsynced allow drops still?

obsidian patio
#

you can't use it since you're not "wearing" a head piece

#

since the head slot is being used up by your chestpiece

gritty aurora
#

ohh

gritty aurora
honest lotus
#

bet, thanks ๐Ÿ‘

obsidian patio
#

for combo gear like that, you can only glamour the slot the item exists on

#

once you get an actual head piece, then yes

gritty aurora
#

glamour doesnt change consume the item right?

obsidian patio
#

you keep the item

#

you only consume the prism

pastel tree
#

I'm doing the Lvl 53 Botanist quest "Onions of Life Bestowing" it asks for 10 HQ Cyclops onion however on all the nodes it's listed as 0% HQ. Not sure what doing wrong here?

hot eagle
left whale
#

u gotta use ur skills to make the HQ go up

pastel tree
#

I see

left whale
#

... i guess thats pretty important too

pastel tree
#

I was just holding off on getting better gear to just get the crafting scrips ones

#

But now that i can get them ill just focus on them then

#

Thanks!

!skill leaf turn

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Leaf Turn** : lvl 15 BTN (100 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases the chance of obtaining HQ items while gathering by 10%. Does not increase chances for items which start at 0%.

warm snow
#

With weapon contest designs how do they get added to the game? Like do they show up on a vendor or do they become special event gear etc?

obsidian patio
#

varies

#

Healer contest gear was Skalla dungeon set
Tank contest gear was Lost Allagan tomestone set
Caster contest gear was Swallow's Compass dungeon set
Melee contest gear was the SHB pvp set

left whale
#

melee had it rough

warm snow
#

That explains why lost allagan tank gear showed up in the last mog tome event

slate arrow
#

It's the first time they've done weapons so it's probably pure speculation. But seeing as we haven't gotten any new pvp weapons, it may be the new pvp glam gear next expansion

left whale
#

oh no

obsidian patio
#

maybe gold saucer or a dungeon set

#

i doubt it'd be ranked pvp

#

just normal pvp vendor gear like the melee set

slate arrow
#

not ranked I mean wolf marks

obsidian patio
#

if it was

slate arrow
#

yeah

warm snow
#

So anyways not gonna be some time locked bs like ranked pvp armor sets

obsidian patio
#

probably not based on the previous sets

warm snow
#

Well probably not

real tundra
#

what is the suggested level before going to pagos? im 25 but somehow not enough NM running around at the southern area of the map

obsidian patio
#

unless you want to count a tomestone set as time locked ๐Ÿ˜›

slate arrow
#

*locked availability

#

tomestone sets are merely grind locked

#

anyways details

warm yacht
#

Are there any 60 Battlecraft leves?

obsidian patio
#

only 58

#

battle leves stop being a thing after heavensward

leaden ginkgo
#

dumb question... but how do you get to the parrock?

slate arrow
#

pardon

#

Barracks, you mean?

warm snow
#

Flight

slate arrow
#

oh

obsidian patio
#

should be the northwest corner of the sea of clouds

warm snow
#

Sea of clouds

obsidian patio
#

a little bell, i think

slate arrow
#

yeah that you need to unlock flying

leaden ginkgo
warm snow
#

Flight is mandatory for a lot of side content

leaden ginkgo
#

this one?

obsidian patio
#

yep

slate arrow
#

yes you need flight

obsidian patio
#

where that northwesternmost pin is

leaden ginkgo
#

nice, found it

#

How bad it's the warrior cone aoe in dungeons compared to the other tanks?

umbral dune
#

so the 10-allowance leves give less reward than 10 leves of the same level? or my calculation wrong

obsidian patio
#

yes

runic cairn
#

you're right

#

they're not terribly worth it

obsidian patio
#

they're only good if you're short on time/materials

nocturne wyvern
obsidian patio
#

i really only notice the cleave if there's multiple large enemies

#

where it makes targeting troublesome

nocturne wyvern
#

Going from the circle aoe to the cone is definitely an adjustment.

pine hemlock
#

sooo i'm a returning player and i noticed that the cross class skills are gone, or am i just to stupid to find them? ๐Ÿ‘€

nocturne wyvern
#

Replaced by role skills.

pine hemlock
leaden ginkgo
#

I see, I was deciding between warrior and paladin that cone aoe was the only thing that worried me in war

nocturne wyvern
leaden ginkgo
#

Alright thanks

warm snow
pine hemlock
cursive ridge
#

if i reset my retainer's class, that exp is gone forever, i can't switch back to that class later to use it?

warm snow
#

Nope

nocturne wyvern
warm snow
#

Retainers are weaker than we almighty adventurers who can switch freely

cursive ridge
#

...or we beat them round the head too hard to make them switch classes

pine hemlock
#

so is there still a reason to multi-class on my character other than: because i can?

nocturne wyvern
#

You donโ€™t need to level specific things for certain abilities or unlock jobs anymore.

cursive ridge
#

somewhat regretting making one of my two retainers a fisher, botanist/mining for those unspoiled resource expeditions would be much more useful

nocturne wyvern
#

But I still like having certain jobs available for certain levels of content.

pine hemlock
#

i will probably still level all classes on the char ๐Ÿ™‚

naive ridge
dusty shard
#

can some1 plz explain how monk chakra system work

nocturne wyvern
#

For example, current relic involves farming HW fates. Red mage is amazingly efficient at that. Another step is level 70 dungeons, I prefer healer for that for shorter queues. Etc.

dusty shard
#

do I have to manually charge them with meditation ?

naive ridge
obsidian patio
#

yes but no

dusty shard
#

isn't that kinda shit since u lose dps

cursive ridge
obsidian patio
#

at first yes, but you only want to do so when you can't hit the enemy

#

later on you get traits to generate chakra stacks from critical hits

nocturne wyvern
dusty shard
#

oh i see

obsidian patio
#

!trait deep meditation

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Deep Meditation** : lvl 62 MNK

Grants a 50% chance that a chakra will open upon dealing critical damage with a weaponskill.

dusty shard
#

i guess that mechanic is over lvl 60 ?

obsidian patio
#

!trait deep meditation II

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Deep Meditation II** : lvl 74 MNK

Grants a 70% chance that a chakra will open upon dealing critical damage with a weaponskill.

dusty shard
#

well thats sad

naive ridge
obsidian patio
#

outdated numbers, should be 80% for the first one and 100% for the second one.

naive ridge
#

i just dont give a fuck and spam quick ventures

#

you'll be done in a few weeks

nocturne wyvern
# dusty shard well thats sad

I mean not really. Itโ€™s a cool ability and all but not being able to use it consistently early on wonโ€™t suddenly mean your overall damage is bad.

cursive ridge
#

are fishes used for something in the later expansions? or is it always just a little bit of food recipes, a little bit of alchemy

naive ridge
#

yeah something like that

#

mostly food or alchemy

dusty shard
#

how do u solo hellsclaw

#

the claw have that reflect dmg skill

#

how to remove it

cursive ridge
#

okay then what is more useful, botanist or mining retainer

obsidian patio
cursive ridge
#

considering i level all crafting profs

obsidian patio
#

you need both physical and magical damage

dusty shard
#

can my chocobo break it

obsidian patio
#

if you're 80 then maybe

naive ridge
#

fishing is useful for the rare times that a lot of a fish are required

#

but those times are rare

nocturne wyvern
naive ridge
#

but very useful when its needed

#

if you intend to mass craft food/pots, botany is extremely useful

cursive ridge
#

damn, really hard to decide whether to change the job

#

food/pots sell well for raiding i presume?

naive ridge
#

as of now there is is nothing much that my fisher retainer brings me

#

even the crab for chili crab is like 1 per venture

patent rune
#

Hi, im not exactly sure if this is the correct place to ask this. Is there any place where i can make a direct complain about not receiving my password generating email except for the SE support centre? NA support centre is fast to reply me but after 1 week of tickets (yes i submitted alot lol) i still cant get in touch with any of the EU SE agent. I hope somebody knows if theres alternative to this problem..Thanks

cursive ridge
#

yeah, i'll swap her over to botanist then, fishing just has... lots of useless fish

nocturne wyvern
#

Most raiders are done with savage atm.

naive ridge
#

they still sell for a decent amount

#

however

#

you would need to make a lot to recoup the costs into endgame melded crafter gear

cursive ridge
#

well even at the moment in heavensward, I noticed that to make the first two leathers for LTW, you need Coerthan Tea Leaves, which come from the unspoiled node, a botanist retainer would be mega useful here

patent rune
# cursive ridge check your spam folder

nah its more to my email. Its not receiving any auto generate code email from bots. I can receive email from other person normally..but auto generated emails, on the other hand i received 0 since it happened. ๐Ÿฅฒ

naive ridge
#

a lot of recipes also require ala mhigan crystal salt

#

i have a miner for that

solemn jewel
#

i dont think square can go and send u ur generated email from a normal adress

cursive ridge
#

quick ventures are more xp/hour than field exploration, right?

#

thinking of buying an extra retainer and just leveling botanist/miner at the same time

#

a combat retainer is still very useful

#

that's how they get you i guess

#

to pay for extra stuff

uneven tendon
#

Retainers are convenient but that's about it, once you're levelled up you don't rely on ventures all that much because waiting the 40-60 mins to go fetch something you could have fetched most of the stuff yourself or bought it for a fraction of the amount of gil you can make in that time

cursive ridge
#

yeah but unspoiled nodes though

#

very annoying to wait for

desert cedar
#

can i get all the aether current without finishing hw?

solemn jewel
#

in which place

desert cedar
#

dravanian? and the first area you unlock

solemn jewel
#

theres some curents hidden behind quests

uneven tendon
#

Each ET hour is 3 minutes so a day is 72 minutes. Retainer will take 40-60 to bring back a handful, but you can go and do a 36 minute node cycle, sell what you don't need and buy what you do, then you'll have profited off of it, and that's not even the optimal route of spending the time crafting stuff to sell

uneven tendon
cursive ridge
sturdy mango
#

Hey, wanted to know what's the easiest class between sam and dragoon pls ?

uneven tendon
patent citrus
#

I think dragoon is easier to optimise, but it might be different for you

patent citrus
#

Both are easy to play

storm cosmos
#

is the sale on now for mogstation a common occurrence during each rising event? I.e. fantasias and lots of items on sale. previous sales I've seen were a lot smaller in scope (been playing since last september).

patent citrus
warm snow
#

First time I've seen fantasia on sale but I wasn't really paying attention last rising

sturdy mango
#

Okok i see ty

cursive ridge
#

can you ever see other player's retainers?

storm cosmos
#

last year, during the rising? or during a seperate time period?

patent citrus
#

Nope you cant

uneven tendon
patent citrus
storm cosmos
#

I see, thank you.

obtuse basin
#

What does window mean for hunts?

cursive ridge
#

i don't know, but maybe 'window of opportunity'?

#

as in, the interval of time during which something can spawn

obsidian patio
#

A and S ranks have windows/timers of when they can spawn and how long they stay spawned until they despawn

leaden ginkgo
#

for the paladin ARR relic weapon, do I need to collect 2x each crystals for both shield and sword?

obtuse basin
#

sorry if i say next window in 10mins does it he will pop at 10mins?

uneven tendon
obtuse basin
#

Not sure what the term means i am guessing lol

cursive ridge
obtuse basin
#

So intervals of X ?

#

So in 10mins ANYTIME after that

#

Yes...?

last mural
#

Regarding titan extreme's Gaol, if we break the yellow line between healer and DPS, do we not get stoned?

#

Cause i still got stoned

uneven tendon
#

The easy-peasy route for hunts is join an active LS/discord, then wait for someone to conduct the train

warm yacht
obsidian patio
#

ishgard

#

they have all the 50-58 leves

uneven tendon
last mural
#

Ah...

naive ridge
#

the line is a buff for the gaol

cursive ridge
#

how often do you get Retainer Fantasia from quick ventures? i only ever need one, should i just buy it from the market board or wait until i get one?

naive ridge
#

generally the strat is dps stays in the middle while healer moves to the edge

obsidian patio
#

I've gotten it a handful of times, but i recommend just buying from the marketboard

#

they shouldn't be expensive

uneven tendon
obsidian patio
#

only a couple thousand or so at most

patent citrus
#

Just buy, it's very cheap yeah

#

I only run 18 Hrs venture so never got those

cursive ridge
#

i chose a very annoying personality for one of my retainers and she gets snippy with me all the time

#

do not like that

patent citrus
#

Only gold bag I ever gotten

#

Some people like that

#

To be treated as such

cursive ridge
#

some people are also into feet

obsidian patio
weary jungle
#

can i get this on free trial? without crafting it myself

cursive ridge
#

without crafting? no

patent citrus
#

Need to craft

cursive ridge
#

since you can't trade or buy

weary jungle
#

yea i thought so

cursive ridge
#

and the ingame preview only shows you 2 of them

pastel tree
cursive ridge
#

SAME

#

that's why i'm looking to change it

patent citrus
#

Your fetish are showing

misty flicker
#

Hey, No kink-shaming

pastel tree
#

๐Ÿคซ

cursive ridge
#

i chose Elezen/F/Independent and the preview lines were nothing unusual

#

but this line about Goodbye (on venture) super annoys me

#

Unless it is urgent, do not summon me during a venture again.

misty flicker
#

She your Boss now

pastel tree
#

I like the super enthusiastic catboy i made after the asshole bunny girl though

cursive ridge
#

oh my god, au ra female independent is literally the meme tsundere anime girl

pastel tree
#

Lmao i just checked, the differnce between the races is huge

misty flicker
#

๐Ÿ‘€

pastel tree
#

I want the aura female serious replies instead of my serious bunny girl

cursive ridge
#

(polite viera calls you 'love')

patent citrus
#

Well yeah, no differences in performance, so you can choose your own harem

pastel tree
#

The personality really does not match the name for the names of them

cursive ridge
#

probably a translation thing

pastel tree
#

Doubt it

#

I recall hearing the game is developed into english then translated into japanese and others, not sure about this though

slate arrow
#

The English and JP scripts are developed alongside each other

#

As koji fox, the localization lead is also on the lore and writing team

patent citrus
#

Although the JP original must've had more kawaii and JP weirdness added into flavour.

slate arrow
#

This is also a point of annoyance the devs have expressed, the idea that there's some sort of master JP script.

patent citrus
#

Would be over the top if directly translated to EN

slate arrow
#

Both are developed alongside each other, and each has their own unique references or slight alterations. Like, if you had Hauchefaunt's JP personality in EN he'd basically always be trying to get in your pants

#

not implying he isn't trying to in the EN version it's just toned down significantly because yknow, NA

cursive ridge
#

i don't see rowena's representative on ishgard's map, am I blind? i'm level 60

slate arrow
#

Have you finished Heavensward

#

The quest

cursive ridge
#

no

slate arrow
#

that's why

cursive ridge
#

but i can buy them in idylshire

slate arrow
#

that's the exception as idllyshire has been completed by the time you get there

misty flicker
slate arrow
#

I'm not sure on the specifics as this is all secondhand knowledge. His role is the same, though, he's still your biggest supporter and still the main reason why you can enter ishgard proper.

narrow jay
cursive ridge
#

i mean who would say no

slate arrow
#

The only other major difference I can recall off the top of my head is how Urianger speaks using Ye Olde Japanese from an era I can't recall off the top of my head. Basically, his way if speaking English, but in Japanese.

cursive ridge
#

so no difference

slate arrow
#

Oh, and I've heard that the JP text tends to be more literal in it's delivery. But again, secondhand knowledge.

#

Someone on the translation team can probably answer this better anyways

#

I just find it neat

misty flicker
#

Wiki says this: "In the Japanese version, he often makes suggestive comments towards the Warrior regardless of gender. This was toned down in overseas releases due to it coming across as sexual harassment."

slate arrow
#

Hell yeah bisexuality

tropic summit
#

do all the characters generally speak that way? ye olde and formal?
Urianger is on another level but everyone else is too, relatively to us

narrow jay
#

Sort of, yes.

slate arrow
#

I mean they're gotten a bit looser as the expansions have gone on

#

It's just ARR again, was a rush job

misty flicker
#

Well, issa Fantasy world. Why are they obligated to speak modern english?

tropic summit
#

I don't think anyone's saying there's obligations

slate arrow
#

this is just devolving into discussion now lmao oops

tropic summit
#

I'm just asking if the english translation is as formal and ye olde as the original japanese

narrow jay
#

Sometimes they may get a bit ham-handed with Common Staple FFXIV Phrases like "is aught amiss" or "there is much and more"

cursive ridge
#

they're just peppering in some "Pray ..." and "...anon" but that's about it

slate arrow
#

You'll have to ask a japanese speaker here for that, I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that.

#

That being said, yes the eorzean characters do take on a more European flair to their words

#

But it's still normal English at the end of the day

cursive ridge
#

how many off gcd abilities you can reliably fit inside one gcd? 2?

patent citrus
#

Max 2 yeah

#

The lower the sks, the more comfy it is

cursive ridge
#

DRG has like, a bajilion, especially on an opener

patent citrus
#

Like 2.5 is perfect. Depends on your ping as well

cursive ridge
#

what's sks?

patent citrus
#

Skill speed

#

Yeah DRG is super comfy

cursive ridge
#

feels like a pre-flight check

patent citrus
#

They usually avoid sks and aim for 2.5 gcd

#

Shouldn't worry about substats pre 80 however

cursive ridge
#

another somewhat related question

#

is Jump longer than a usual off gcd ability?

#

you're animation locked so it feels pretty long

patent citrus
#

Yeah, kind of but not sure if it's recommend to double weave for that tbh

#

Better put other ogcd somewhere else

cursive ridge
#

i feel like i'm clipping a GCD sometimes whenever i use jump and something else

patent citrus
#

You wouldn't want to clip anything

#

Yeah then put it somewhere else

uneven tendon
#

You're correct in that, DRG you don't double weave jumps but you do for your other CD's (generally)

cursive ridge
#

i feel like Jump ability is the reason why people are memeing about DRG dying a lot

#

because i get caught out by enemy abilities if i use it at the wrong time

naive ridge
#

that and the backflip

hard aurora
#

if you get locked into it during an aoe yes

neon fog
#

Whats the name of the quest for the Stormblood raids that you need to do before Bozjan please

green grail
#

dramatis personae

real tundra
#

is eureka pyros much better than pagos? without choke points with the dragons and high level mobs having a congregation in the small corridors?

honest anvil
#

those are still there ..

real tundra
#

Oh god..

honest anvil
#

but logograms make them more manageable

real tundra
#

im kind of hating pagos now, im stuck at 25 and might just grind challenge logs until i get to 30 to do NM trains. cant do much at the souther area map

honest anvil
#

ye thatโ€™s eureka for you

real tundra
#

even anima and zodiac is more fun than this

uneven tendon
#

I could be remembering wrong, but aren't the dragons asleep? So you can just slowly walk past them

real tundra
#

maybe once i get to lv 60 this will be fun

#

yea theyre asleep and can sneak through them but there is a lv 40 mob on the choke point in the northern area

cursive ridge
#

is there a way to distinguish a FATE that gives a unique reward from the one that does not? or do i just have to remember them

obsidian patio
#

most of the time they're fates that start with a 30-minute timer

#

and they usually have an achievement for completing them

modest laurel
#

Hello! I heard from a random guy that you could buy xp potions from any grand company for seals. I couldn't find any at the quartermaster, is it available at a specific shop or did that guy lie?

covert marlin
#

how does dot skill works with buff

obsidian patio
#

they snap shot buffs when they're used

covert marlin
#

ahh so buff before dot? what about skill that refreshes dot

obsidian patio
#

refreshing uses current buffs active

covert marlin
#

alright thank you so much!

obsidian patio

#

Will I lose out on xp if I try to do a lvl 60 MSQ as lvl 54? Feel like I lvl quite slow on my alt after 50+, and my current MSQ is the prelude(?) of Stormblood at lvl 60 currently.

cursive ridge
#

you cant do 60 msq as lvl 54

modest laurel
#

not sure if I am still a bit too low lvl for it

#

ooh

#

so I have to be at least the same lvl then I guess?

cursive ridge
#

you need to be msq level to turn in the quests

modest laurel
#

I see I see. thx!

sinful egret
#

hi guys, if i upgrade a melded exarchic piece to 520, will i lose the materia?

green grail
#

yes

#

like with basically all gear "upgrades" in the game, you're trading in the base piece for an augmented piece, they're two separate items

sturdy mango
#

The black mage difficulty is in the positioning only ? the rotation is easy ?

cursive ridge
#

is retainer voice ever used? i cant remember hearing it after selection

hard aurora
#

@sturdy mango positioning and understanding of the fight to maximise leylines and dps output so that youre not clipping / cancelling attacks or moving unnessairly

#

whilst making use of aetherical manipulation and between the lines - your most powerful movement abilities

#

otherwise, the rotation, if you could call it that, is fairly simple

cinder mortar
#

is black mage rotation easier than red mage?

hard aurora
#

subjective under all accounts

sturdy mango
#

Okok i see, cause i've seen a clip and he just spam fire 4 ahah

umbral dune
#

it looks brain dead to some point

hard aurora
#

@sturdy mango fire 4 is your most useful dps tool and well

#

the only dps tool really at level 60

#

until you get polygot stacks that is

#

despairโ€™s a nice touch as well

cinder mortar
#

people say red mage is the easiest and that is why I chose red mage, but it has loads of buttons. Like a single target rotation that involves three buttons and two procs, the multi-target 3 buttons, and then there is the phase where you melee, which is another concern

cursive ridge
#

that's pretty much all jobs

hard aurora
#

try it against a dummy, see if you like it

cursive ridge
#

all of them have a lot of buttons

hard aurora
#

all jobs are easy to learn, but need a brain cell to master if that makes sense

#

and yea, all jobs will need 3 hotbars at level 80

solemn jewel
#

no healer u just need to spam 1 /j

cinder mortar
#

so what makes the red mage the easiest class then compared to other classes

modest igloo
hard aurora
#

@cinder mortar ive said all jobs are easy. red mage being the easiest is subjective

cinder mortar
#

oh ok

hard aurora
#

it is purely down to their opinion

#

is it fact? no lol

#

the same could be said for black mage, but theres always a but

#

so yea

solemn jewel
#

for example, i cannot for the life of me get into the rdm rotation meanwhile others have no issues. So it really is just subjective

hard aurora
#

ye

modest igloo
#

I picked up RDM fast but wasnโ€™t a fan of melee phase and castbar

cinder mortar
#

the thing is red mage starts at 50, so they are hitting you with a brick before you even start

solemn jewel
#

i had no issues with gnb tho

#

Point is, just try everything and see what sticks skeledance

cinder mortar
#

good points thanks for the advice

#

yeah it is kinda subjective

#

I like that red mage can heal though. IT has saved the group on many occassions in PotD high levels

solemn jewel
#

They're all fully mute

#

but DRK for example is hailed as one of the best written questlines

cursive ridge
#

i heard dark knight one is okay? haven't done it yet

solemn jewel
#

its good

cinder mortar
#

i tuned into asmongold for a while. I think he originally went warrior but is a dark knight now?

solemn jewel
#

i enjoyed WHM quite a lot

#

MCH and AST were also fun but i just like the ishgardian elezen npcs

cursive ridge
#

i'm only just starting MCH but I like Joey

warm snow
#

I honestly enjoy them all

#

Sb warrior cracks me up

#

And sb culinarian is personal favourite

#

PLD quests are honestly a bit meh

solemn jewel
#

SB WHM made me sad :(

warm snow
#

But there's plenty to do

#

Dnc I enjoyed a lot

#

Especially for the cutscene you get in the 80 quest

#

Lv80 gnb is probably the most nothing job quest of them all though

#

Ofc the role quests we got in ShB are higher quality than most job quests so looking forward to how they end up in ew.

cinder mortar
#

I am not really a big fan of reading through a tonne of quests and clicking thru every cut-scene. I bought the skip for the main questline, and I am happy I did. Still have to finish off SB questline though

warm snow
#

But I still hope we get lv90 quesrs

solemn jewel
#

||ur not making friends with skipping msq her engl||

warm snow
#

They are all side ckntent

solemn jewel
#

GNB gets fun when the big cat man has to deal with his past

warm snow
#

Although the 50-60 Sam is really fun

#

"fun"

#

Pretty much

#

But they still get a solid 10 level quest line

#

Sage and reaper will probably get the same from 70-80

#

Something to introduce the lore of the job and act as a tutorial

solemn jewel
#

pick up DRK tho, its really fantastic

#

it actually gives WoL some depth

#

if u dont mind spoilers; ||DRK is a lot about. Inner hate, regrets and similar things. ||

cinder mortar
#

are they streamlining all healers in this upcoming expansion? I thought Sage was going to be a barrier healer, but I heard they are kinda making all healers the same, are they?

warm snow
#

Ish

#

They'll be splitting the healers into barrier and pure more distinctly

#

So scholar and ast will probably get some tweaking

what can i spend gil on? i've hit the 300k cap

i mean u can buy gear but most stuff isnt that good

#

You can buy some items from the market which will sustain in price for long periods of time

weary jungle
#

i dont think i can buy any gear better than what i have rn with gil

And then sell them later when you need the gil back

misty flicker
pastel tree
#

oh right

weary jungle
#

uhh why is there maintence in half an hour๐Ÿ˜ฆ

solemn jewel
#

emergency maint probably

boreal storm
#

Because something bad went down on Lich

#

Donโ€™t know what

#

But itโ€™s clearly something big

cinder mortar
#

where is the maintaince advertised?

solemn jewel
#

lodestone usually

#

but chaos is fine, its only on Lich

cinder mortar
#

yeah lich is going down

#

do ffxiv run their own server hosting or is it outsourced?

hallow raptor
#

Heya, is there any specific reason why friend from Asia cannot log into website after she made account? it keeps saying wrong id or password

cinder mortar
#

make sure she is using her id and not her email address perhaps as the id? Happened to me before

hallow raptor
#

hmm, ill make sure about that, so there is no weird region lock?

If I dye a glamour piece in the dresser, will it retain the dyed color if I remove it from the dresser?

Or should I take out the item, dye it then put it back in to preserve my dye?

so if I have a crafting material with the retainer will this material appear when I craft?

cursive ridge
#

no

delicate kernel
#

ah k thx

cursive ridge
#

but you'll have an extra 175 slots per retainer to store stuff

#

why do some people have titles above their name and some below?

solemn jewel
#

depends on the title

boreal storm
#

That how titles work

green grail
#

different titles appear differently

there's crafting mats?

#

i wasn't aware

i've noticed that pretty much every currency in this game has crafting mats for sale so it never becomes worthless

even after you buy the top shelf items

# wispy basalt attempt ?

'available' plots have a stealth timer on them to stop scalpers. Once a plot becomes 'available' there will be a secret length of time at a guess between 2 and 48 hours before it can be purchased

you won't know its duration, and you'll only know its presence by attempting to buy

Well, actually...

Anyone relocating to the plot with an already existing house, does not need the stealth timer

Doesn't that mean you basically need to camp the spot for 2-48 hours ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

when I got the phantasia and use ARR skip, will I miss something besides the story?

Anything not story related will have to be unlocked

I mean, do I miss any items like phantasia?

I just wanna unlock the DRK

so after that skip I can just get a DRK

Hey guys, I finish stormblood in a few quests and my SAM is already lv 77. What happened with the MQ exp then my job is already lv 80? Is it necessary to play a second job to not lose the MQ exp?

leaden ginkgo
#

Itโ€™s up to u tbh , dungeons and roulettes will make it so that youโ€™ll be overleveled

#

I personally always leveled two jobs at once to not lose exp

pulsar escarp
#

yeah it's not necessary but if you want it can be cool

rich gazelle
pulsar escarp
#

I had three classes at msq level by heavensward so I was almost never overlevelled

#

oh yeah. If you want to be a completionist earlier you can go for that

rich gazelle
#

If it's something that you want to do in the future, just start leveling anothwr class

#

I leveled summoner, get free healer

#

Scholar and summoner share levels

pulsar escarp
#

(play what you want) I'm going for 80s across the board so it happened naturally anyway

feral mirage
#

Okay thank you! I will go for another job then, feel bad for the lost exp ๐Ÿ˜…

rich gazelle
#

And there's a sidequest in shadowbringers which can be started with lvl 71 classes. It will bring you to a separate instance and you need to grind "ranks"

pulsar escarp
#

don't think you can do bozja till you finish most of shb though right

rich gazelle
#

While grinding those ranks, you'll get plenty exp as well

@boreal storm it says its not obtainable in game? what do i do, i need it to craft my item, skybuilder durium sand

oh sure

But is it possible to do the msq with a Healer or a tank?

Yes of course

ye y not

You can use any class to clear the whole game

you can do msq as anything except for crafters/gatherers lmao

Except crafting/gathering ones

Thought the dmg wouldn't be enough then

nah

damage will always be enough

blu isn't a real class

#

Healers are KING here

I really appreciate anyone maining healers

#

Always use my commends for them

Healer and tank dps is lower than dps damge, but it's more than sufficient for doing solo content.

tanks are often better at soloing content than dps are haha

Tanks can pull more

we have 8 tank ucob

but not healer

and not dps

it's just like some side good at a some side good at b and whatnot

Dps, in some cases where you have to fight 1v1 can be tougj

it will never be tough enough to force you to change classes

msq is not designed to be challenging for an above-average competency player

even low average player can do msq content smoothly

I almost died vs ||ranjit|| in shb. Not sure if I'm just bad or bcause i don't upgrade any equipment except for 60 70 80

#

I dont upgrade in between

agile laurel
#

one of the two

ivory grotto
#

i mean u dont like wiping 1983128391 times during msq content

But poetics are so damn op already so maybe I'm just not good

which happened a lot in high end content

I haven't done any savage content too

Hi all! I have 2 questions:

1- When does my sproutling icon disappears?
2- When doing my rotation, what is important for skills, animations or button pressed? Like if I use an ability, can I use an off-global CD ability even if the animation of the first one isn't finished? How does that work in FF14?

rich gazelle
#
  1. When you reach shadowbringers and have played 180 hours
leaden ginkgo
# quiet salmon currently free trial

Then, you can't communicate with other people, so just do it now and see if you like the game. If you do, there are always english FC in all worlds, so you don't have to enter Tonberry

What is this <:sprout:734386482562727988> icon?

The sprout or 'sprout' indicates that you are a new adventurer in the game and is only automatically removed when you have met the following criteria: 168 hours of playtime and completed the main scenario quest A Requiem for Heroes.
The icon can also be manually removed by typing /nastatus off into your chat. This isn't typically recommended as it helps other players gauge your progress into the game.

People will be more forgiving if you make mistakes with sprout

Though the community in general is nice

is that a big problem later on?

There are many many many contents that you can join before your MSQ finishes, but there are a LOT more after you finish MSQ

open coral
#

That will always show you what your next MSQ is, and any important bluequest that you need to do.

rich gazelle
#

But there's no wrong way to play the game anyway. If somehow you enjoy gold saucer, crafting, gathering more than msq then go ahead and enjoy

leaden ginkgo
#

You do not have to do bluequest though except your job quest

quiet salmon
#

okay so i don't need to search up important one okay got it

last acorn
#

Does blacklisting make it impossible to meet them through the duty finder?

maiden palm
#

should i buy every 10 levels until 50 new gear for my miner/botanist and if so should i buy the best one from the market or is there an npc that sells

leaden ginkgo
rich gazelle
#

Just that you can't proceed to next expansions without completing the msq

open coral
dawn mountain
#

does bite mastery at 76 for bard work with the dot damage?

leaden ginkgo
rich gazelle
#

Already unlocked

rich gazelle
#

But never tried

leaden ginkgo
#

Doing potd 50-200 is fun, but really time consuming

rich gazelle
#

How do i even come back to it after leaving?

open coral
# last acorn .

Sadly no. Blacklisting a player only stops them from messaging you, and from being able to join your PFs

rich gazelle
#

Like if i go in with 3 randoms

last acorn
#

That's fucking sad.

#

I do not want to meet this person again...

rich gazelle
#

Then i leave

leaden ginkgo
rich gazelle
#

Can i continue wirh different people?

faint flare
#

I've never seen the same person in duty finder over the course of playing for 6 years

rich gazelle
#

Oo

leaden ginkgo
last acorn
#

Pray I never see them again then ^^

rich gazelle
#

Damn

#

I don't have such dedication haha

#

I only have 9 days sub left

#

Gonna complete save the queen and come back when endwalker launches

hollow aurora
#

does anyone have the chart for which logograms you need to create what

faint flare
#

Ffxiveureka has a logos tracker

#

With receipes

rich gazelle
#

What's logos?

#

For what content

faint flare
#

Eureka thing

rich gazelle
#

Ooo

#

Didn't do any relic quests

#

Ok

river oasis
#

for bard do you still go for your gcd if you get pitch perfect/bloodletter procs?

rich gazelle
#

Btw, am i right to say that i can complete the whole save the queen story without doing weapons upgrading part?

faint flare
#

Yes you still weave them properly

#

Clipping is bad

river oasis
#

aight

hard aurora
#

@rich gazelle yea

rich gazelle
#

I don't like grinding so i just want to get to rank 25, finsih story and done

river oasis
#

so just delay the three stack pp or bloodletter

rich gazelle
#

Ok thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

hey does the squadron battle manual work in dungeons ? and does it stack with the 3% exp bonus from meals ?

hard aurora
#

weapon upgrading is just the side part of it

faint flare
#

Relics are always optional

rich gazelle
#

Cool

#

I'll just get lv 80 poetics later

hard aurora
#

honestly its a pretty cool storyline

maiden palm
#

what npc sells DoL gear?

open coral
#

For what level?

warped nest
#

@river oasis a technique I have seen is while waiting for your GCD, you press blood letter just in case it procs

worn flume
#

I'm sure I remember not being able to enter zadnor until I progressed with my relic, but I could be misremembering

rich gazelle
#

I'm at resistances rank 21 now, honestly haven't felt thw story is anything special so far

maiden palm
#

every 10 levels

rich gazelle
maiden palm
#

below 50

river oasis
open coral
#

Gear vendors in major city markets should sell under-50 crafting and gathering gear @maiden palm

warped nest
#

Ahh, yeah, don't clip your GCD

#

!action blood letter

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Bloodletter** : lvl 12 ARC BRD (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Shares a recast timer with Rain of Death.

hollow aurora
#

@hot eaglethx

agile laurel
#

potentially missing a proc is less important than rolling the gcd

warped nest
#

!action heavy shot

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Heavy Shot** : lvl 1 ARC BRD (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 180.
Additional Effect: 20% chance of becoming Straight Shot Ready
Duration: 10s

agile laurel
#

ideally you shouldn't miss a proc anyway, but

hollow aurora
#

so to get the elemental level 1 armor I just need to collect 50 different logos actions?

river oasis
hollow aurora
#

so rn I have 8 is it really as easy as just farming sprites?

#

I know in order to get elemental 1 you need to get to hydatos

#

so I guess youu gotta be level 50

#

but the actual logos action part doesn't seem that bad

faint flare
#

Yes,just 50 logos and 1 fully completed pagos relic

hollow aurora
#

ye already completed pagos

cursive ridge
#

just received wondrous tails, am i correect in that the duties in it are randomly assigned to a square on that 4x4 grid and only the first 9 things you complete award you with a square?

open coral
#

Yes

whole wasp
#

You can just buy logograms in marketboard

#

Not dificult to get all 50

open coral
#

But you can reset your stamps (within limits) and try different ones.

Talk to khloe to see what you can buy with them

cursive ridge

#

interesting, silver and gold commendations have lvl 80 gear even though i'm only 60

#

but it's probably a waste to buy gear with those

I'm not seeing 'Let The Hunt Begin'

cursive ridge
#

you're probably not high enough GC rank

umbral dune
#

Well gold is suppose to be the only way to buy mount but it appears there are 3 ways, so 1m MPG is the real reward for 3 lines @cursive ridge

blissful tinsel
#

Can I ask question about the server here? If so, it won't let me remove the rank of caster in my roles. I've tried several times.

umbral dune
#

Just ask

leaden ginkgo
#

I think I am if I try to apply for promotion it tells me i can't get promoted until I complete my first hunt

faint flare
#

Your HUNTING LOG

cursive ridge
#

hm wait, i dont see gold commendation in the rewards, is it because i'm low lvl?

umbral dune
#

Gold is third from bottom, talk with khloe

gleaming coyote
#

hey u guys is ff14 lore related to the other games at all?
i vaguely remember someone telling me that like none of the ff games are really connected, and that each of them is like an entirely diff story
is that true? or are they related more?

cursive ridge
#

i'm assuming this becomes gold at some point

umbral dune
#

Yes, sometimes is gold x1

faint flare
#

There are easter eggs and stuff but 14 is its own unique story

blissful tinsel

#

There are 2 caster roles accidentally. We cant get rid of the dupe one.

Nothing from other games

Well, except for Gilgamesh.

faint flare

The easter eggs are in side content which aren't related to the story

queen fern
#

Who is explicitly the same Gilgamesh in 90% of his appearances.

gleaming coyote
#

ohh i see i see

whole wasp
#

You can try buying stuff to sell in your server marketboard but ymmv

gleaming coyote

ty guys

more or less

Its only canon if they explicitly say its canon like the monster hunter crossover.

abstract bluff
#

is there a way to hide the shield or not use the shield playing paladin?

faint flare

Glamour the Emperors new shield onto it

To make it invisible

You can use the emperor new shield and glamour it.

from the gold saucer rewards
