yeah, I think if you run lv <70 stuff, they are faster to do solo

river oasis
#

wanna farm the skallic gear

heavy wadi
#

you can run it solo @ 80 as a war

last mural
#

So like... to craft stuff over ilvl 50, my craftmanship req suddenly jumped from 300 to 500+... how exactly do i fill that 200 gap?

river oasis
alpine shadow
#

then, yeah you would be need to train them, there should be a board right behind the big guy who administers them

last mural
#

the gear i can craft offers like, only 20 or so increase in craftmanship though

dim widget
#

Has there ever been a conclusion to battle tactics for squadrons on whether it affects their AI

Does squadron the inc to dmg dealt affect the healer's heal amount

storm cloak
#

guys how do you do DPS Training - Exercise 4: Avoid Engaged Targets at the smith?

alpine shadow
#

ah, yeah you need to do the quest above him first, i guess.

silver patio
#

If I plan to get everything to level 80, would road to 70 be worth it when im on level 73 MSQ and have 3 level 80s already to reroll? o_O

patent citrus
#

yeah road to 70 defo helps

fringe plaza
alpine shadow
#

you should be still able to do it, just a lower chance to complete it

#

unless you fail to do it all the time

silver patio
fringe plaza
#

I'll report later, doing trial now

alpine shadow
#

ok

silver patio
#

even that deep into the MSQ and already having a few 80s?

patent citrus
#

sorry I think I misunderstood

#

what do you mean by reroll?

silver patio
#

like

#

leave my datacenter and go into a new character on a new data center

#

and then transfer back over after 90 days

patent citrus
#

hmmm

gray crescent
#

Hello, does the green dog extreme trial can be unsync? @patent citrus

patent citrus
#

well it's up to you, but there's no reason to make alt char really

#

unless you are into RP stuff

#

since starting a new character means you are starting from 0

heavy wadi
#

I don't see why you would reroll for that

silver patio
#

yea, that's why im contemplating and asking strangers on the internet for their opinions

patent citrus
#

yeah, I wouldn't

heavy wadi
#

i don't think it's worth it.

silver patio
#

since i WILL be going for 80 everything

#

been only playing 3 weeks so technically it should take me 1.5 weeks to get back to where i am lol

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a macro i can set up that will use more than one action at the same time?

gray crescent
#

Hello guys, does the dog with green color from SB primal can be unsync?

alpine shadow
#

no, that is not a good macro

patent citrus
#

example?

leaden ginkgo
#

all my tank damage reductions

patent citrus
#

nope

faint flare
#

That's terrible

alpine shadow
#

it won't work, since there is an animation delay on ogcd's

silver patio
heavy wadi
#

Yes.

silver patio
#

whats your reasoning

heavy wadi
#

I'm leveling all classes to 80 w/o the buff.

alpine shadow
#

you have to wait like 0.5 seconds till you can use your next cooldown

silver patio
#

so am i but it's a bummer having to do twice as many HOH runs as i would need to

heavy wadi
#

It's not the exp gains that's the frustrating part. It's the DPS queue times.

#

Queue times won't change with that buff.

nocturne wyvern
#

Potd or HOH for faster queues as dps.

silver patio
#

i mean i'd do HOH grinding so there is no queue times

heavy wadi
#

I've waited for 12 mins for HOH before.

#

trust me, there are queue times.

silver patio
#

oh ive never waited beyond 5 minutes

nocturne wyvern
#

Or you can do what I did as I leveled all my dps to cap before HOH and Potd was a thing: level gatherers and crafters in the meantime.

#

I had Omni 60 before potd existed and omni 70 before HOH existed. I just leveled non-combat stuff and did fates during queues.

silver patio
#

so you're saying it's worth to reroll for the road to 70 O:

heavy wadi
#

no?

#

it's so not worth it, especially if you have 3 80s already.

because you'd have to literally play all of msq again.

silver patio
#

but there's like 18? classes and then all the crafting classes

#

man making big boy choices is rough

#

Getting to 80 on all classes took me about 4 months or so from ShB launch. Just do dailies, do challenge log for fates, daily hunts in the mean time, do gatherers if you run out of that, then custom deliveries, then beast tribes etc

#

Now you also have bozja and the preorder earrings for extra exp gains too

tight kettle
#

what's the name of the orchestrion roll during the cutscene for custom deliveries?

#

hi if i want to upgrade from free trial, do i buy the shb pack or the endwalker pack on the square enix store?

hard aurora
#

best value for moeny is endwalker

#

since it comes out in like

#

3 months anyways

#

you can do the trial at your own pace then when endwalker drops

wintry chasm
#

Well

hard aurora
#

you have all expansions

silver patio
wintry chasm
#

Hang on

silver patio
#

i dont believe any of the end walker purchases come with the base game

#

since i just went through this process

hard aurora
#

o

wintry chasm
#

You need the starter edition regardless, since that's the base game. Endwalker if you preorder it will give you all the expansions WHEN IT COMES OUT in November.

hard aurora
#

rip

wintry chasm
#

If you don't want to wait 3 months for the expansions (lol) you want to just get the current complete edition which is the starter edition and Shadowbringers in one

sage patio
#

oh

wintry chasm
#

And get Endwalker later

civic spoke
#

what would be the fastest way to earn company seals besides the leveling roulette?

wintry chasm
civic spoke
#

somehow, on my main, i was earning them like crazy, but on an alt, they're trickling in

wintry chasm
#

Also GC hunting log section

#

And if high enough rank on GC you can do expert delivery

sage patio
#

dang finished hw just when the sale finished too

silver patio

if you really liked the game, you shouldve just bought it

leaden ginkgo
#

to Relocation your house you need to wait like the other that want to buy the land or you can do it instantr ?

uneven tendon
#

Instant

open coral
#

Relocation skips the queue.

crisp field
#

does anyone know if I queue into duty roulette as the role in need but after a few mins of waiting the role in needed changed but I am still in queue

#

would I get the bonus gils

#

or i have to requeue as the needed job everytime it change

warm snow
#

Whether or not you get the player in need bonus is locked in when you queue

uneven tendon
#

Yup, if it was any other way queues would be a nightmare as people would constantly jump between jobs to try and get it

boreal aurora

do you need to reach the hw story content to unlock the lvl50+ job quests?

potent lava
#

is it normal that went too many people are in one zone, you cant hear your own attacks well? the "combat ambiance" drowns it out?

open coral
#

The crowd chatter can get very loud sometimes.

umbral dune
#

Kind of overload, happen a lot with special fates and s rank

potent lava
#

is it any way to turn that down? i kinda use sound to know if my abilities hit

sleek needle
#

There is, in sound settings

open coral
#

You use... sound to tell if your abilities hit?

#

Unless you're super under level, your abilities will always hit.

sleek needle
#

Prolly to know the timing of it

#

So they know when to start spamming next skill

open coral
#

If you're cueing off the ability hit sound, you're starting too late.

leaden ginkgo
#

how much more exp does praetorium give over castrum for duty MSQ roulette?

open coral
leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay, so dread Prae every time... got it

#

HAHAHA

open coral
#

The roulette bonus is identical, but you get like, a few 100k more from additional trash in Prae, iirc?

leaden ginkgo
#

oof for like a bonus 20 mins, don't seem worth to me >.<

open coral
#

It's a 10 minute difference, on average. 35m for CM, 45 for Prae.

#

Prae has more time to get up and use the bathroom or watch Netflix though.

buoyant sorrel
#

Does the bonus exp still apply for a fixed amount of exp from leve quests?

nocturne wyvern
#

Msq roulette isn’t very time efficient for exp, if you’re in a hurry to level I’d skip it.

open coral
#

MSQ roulette is worth anywhere from half a level (65+) to two levels and a good quantity of poetics. It's efficient enough if you only have time for one thing.

nocturne wyvern
#

Eh I’d rather just do whatever is my highest leveling dungeon. Can get gear and more efficient exp.

#

And not sit through those cutscenes. >_<

open coral
#

Highest level leveling dungeon is only worth 1/4-1/3 of a bar of xp on average.

#

So while it's quicker to get through, and certainly long-term more efficient, roulettes are still worth the time.

opaque anvil
#

Does anyone play on PC with a controller? What macros do you guys use for Dragon Sight?

open coral
#

That's why the recommended alt leveling path is: daily roulettes > highest level leveling dungeon

  1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
  2. Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
  3. Press enter
    PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
nocturne wyvern
#

I prefer manually targeting the eye.

open coral
#

It's generally going to be more efficient to choose your partner on a case-by-case basis. I'm not sure how you'd do a priority macro that would work properly.

versed siren
#

can f2p players participate in The Rising event?

open coral
#

Just dpad up/down to select your target, then use the ability and tab back to the boss or whatever.

opaque anvil
#

If correct, it'd prioritize the closest melee DPS

a friend of mine can't find the NPC even when on the right location

#

he's lv31

open coral

What MSQ level is he?

versed siren
#

talking with sylphs

Then work its way down to tank should all other DPS is ranged

warped nest

Where is he on his msq

#

And can he spot the msq icon on the map or mini map

open coral
versed siren
#

MSQ lv21

open coral
#

If I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, your proposed macro would simply choose the first target on the list every time

versed siren

he already beat ifrit

does samurai have anima weapons? because i culdnt find it on the wiki

warped nest

@fickle glacier no

Macros can't distinguish between tank, melee, ranged etc.

Samurai didn't exist when Anima was introduced in Heavensward

Because macro is designed to be dumb

open coral
agile laurel
leaden ginkgo
#

For the button thing, do I press multiple buttons simultaneously? Or, 1 button at a time with two fingers?

alpine shadow
#

you can press multiple buttons

warped nest
#

And repeating it gives it a better chance to go through

alpine shadow
#

get this, but not for enter

open coral
#

If you do it right, it would basically look like this (if you did it in chat): ;dlskalfdjf;lkfsmfsl;;fjkdjfdos

boreal storm
#

But don’t go into chat or you’ll stop doing inputs according to the game

open coral

leaden ginkgo
# open coral Multiple simultaneously.

Wait, then for example, can I put my 10 fingers on anything at my keyboard and press them simultaneously really fast? I'm really bad at the button thing all the time

open coral
#

Yep

warped nest
#

Or just do 3 finger per hand

#

And go at it at your asd and hjk

open coral
#

As long as its not your hotkey to open chat, it will count.

warped nest
#

You are over thinking this

leaden ginkgo
# open coral Yep

Thanks! When I played Ex Hades, everyone got released from the chain instantly, and I always took ages to get released from that.

warped nest
#

The game is trying to be challenging

#

It is not trying to screw you over

#

Screwing you over doesn't come until you are trying to loot in an alliance raid

open coral
#

Start at rest position (left hand ASDF, right hand JKL;). Smash keys. Easy.

leaden ginkgo
#

I think the top three mechanics that I don't like are:

  1. dohn mheg bridge (I never got over it)
  2. buttons
  3. loots (I think it's insane to do 99 runs in ex contents)

I just have 1 more question, but some DPS are getting extraordinarily high DPS compared to others (like 2.5k while others are 1.5k), and I think it's not due to their high itlv. Can I get extremely high DPS if I do more practices with my rotation?

2.5k is basically auto attack numbers lol

patent citrus
#

player skill is more iportant than the class

open coral
patent citrus
#

that SAM player probably a better player than the rest

agile laurel
#

If the smn was doing 25k, they're likely bis geared, or you had echo from dying once or twice. Hence, assume they were very fucking good. If sam and drg were on 15k, they either died a shit ton, had low gear, or weren't playing well

warped nest
#

You mean the summoner

mint shore
nocturne wyvern
#

And was it on single target? Aoe? Was there a difference in gear?

open coral
warped nest
#

Or just bad down time management

leaden ginkgo
#

We didn't die at all and no echo, and I was pretty surprised

warped nest
#

Or samurai doesn't know how to use Hagakure to adjust their sen

mint shore
leaden ginkgo
#

Because I imagine itlv 520 and 530 makes only around 5-10% DPS change, right?

agile laurel
#

if you encounter one person doing double the dps of another person in any content, the answer is likely, one or many of, 'the top person was blazingly good', 'the bottom people were not very good'

patent citrus
#

yeah practice your rotation

agile laurel
#

That is not a divide which exists in actual content

#

There was a skill/gear gap in those numbers

open coral
#

Maybe you're entering your information wrong?

Which is the strongest DPS to play?

FFXIV is extremely balanced for MMO standards, and their main differences come from other aspects like synergy, aesthetic, and playstyle. Play what you think looks cool or what feels fun to play first.

'I saw a rankings page and it shows otherwise/someone in Twitch chat /some random high parser disagrees!'

DPS performance differences via job design within roles are small enough to be completely insignificant for the overwhelming majority of players, and are very contextual:

  • In a vacuum, job differences within roles appear to only be around 0.5% to 2% apart, which only amounts to mid to low hundreds when we're doing like ~24,000 RDPS. The problem is that these vacuum scenario comparisons generally don't exist in practice.

  • Variables like encounter design (including ultimate phasing), kill time (down to a few seconds), strats and party composition/synergy can swing RDPS by a couple of thousand, or even reverse job trends.

  • Crit/direct hit RNG alone may swing +/- 1000 RDPS from the average. This number is usually smaller for Healers and Tanks, but still exists.

  • Even a small difference in skill/comfort, like dropping a couple of GCDs, a broken combo or two, slight misalignment of burst, and/or simply knowing a few more advanced mini-optimizations on one job vs another can amount to a few hundred RDPS difference or more.

You need to be playing multiple jobs at the same level of competence on a GCD-by-GCD level, in pre-planned party compositions, with predictable killtimes, comparable knowledge of niche optimizations and a high kill count for this to make any tangible difference. And even then, it’s still a relatively minor difference. Skill, personality, and job comfort come first.

The right questions to ask are what are the playstyles, strengths/weaknesses and synergies of each job pertaining to your specific situation.

agile laurel
#

The sam should've been by rights above the smn, the drg maybe a bit below

nocturne wyvern
#

Also I wouldn’t be worried about dps numbers in normal modes long as you’re getting clears.

boreal storm
#

^

patent citrus
#

yeah probably people just don't care

smoky furnace
#

Sadly my gametime has ended. Is there any other way than paysafe card/subscription to get more?

patent citrus
#

It's just story mode

agile laurel
#

if you run parser in normal mode content what you will find is many people simply aren't very good at optimising

warped nest
#

The number is under the assumption that people know what they are doing

boreal storm
#

As long as you aren’t being out damaged by healers

nocturne wyvern
agile laurel
warped nest
#

If a samurai don't look it up, they probably won't know using Hagakure to adjust their Sen in their one minute rotation

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks all! If I'm interested in getting the top DPS in party, what job should I choose? Is it samurai?

patent citrus
#

the class you think is cool

agile laurel
#

All jobs are equally competitive

warped nest
#

Isn't there a chart?

patent citrus
#

and when you enjoy playing it, you are more likely play it better

leaden ginkgo
zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

agile laurel
#

Some jobs pay for lower damage output by more utility, freedom of movement, or giving dps to other players

#

All are equally valuable

patent citrus
#

MNK DPS is very good yeah

warped nest
#

Please take note that the game is aggressively balanced

patent citrus
#

but you need a lot of effort to play MNK

#

I mean optimising it

agile laurel
#

well, not too much nowadays

#

but it's still on the trickier side

warped nest
#

There is no "why you pick this, it is bad" Job in XIV

patent citrus
#

yeah stop relying on your job

warped nest
#

Unlike other games

warm snow
#

Mnk is one a lot of people don't like because it has a ton of positionals

#

But it's still a good job

patent citrus
#

you suck means you suck, playing a "better job" doesn't increase your skill level

leaden ginkgo
warm snow
#

And honestly a guilty pleasure

#

I want to hate it but I honestly enjoy it

warped nest
#

I think it is fair if players want to choose a high Dps job, but don't go with the mindset of "if I don't go high Dps job, I won't be able to perform"

#

I personally like to play samurai, because I like the animation

leaden ginkgo
warped nest
#

And the big Midare number also helps

warm snow
#

There are "selfish" dps which have more personal dps than other jobs but as a result have No raid utility

#

Other jobs also have party buffs that stack with other party buffs to make up for the lower personal dps so it all balances out

civic spoke
#

so, i'm about to start leveling some crafts. is it beneficial to have alts for crafting? i mainly want to craft for glamours

warped nest
#

No

#

Just do it all on one character

boreal storm
#

Just lvl crafters

#

Doing alts is not really recommended, because it's really time consuming

nocturne wyvern

#

what do u guys reccomend. standard or legacy movement?

boreal storm
#

Whatever works for you

warm snow
#

This game as a whole isn't very alt friendly, because you can play all jobs on one character it really isn't necessary

#

I just hit lvl 60 where do I buy the new poetics set? I don't have ydillshire unlocked :/

boreal storm
#

You can’t

nocturne wyvern
leaden ginkgo
#

If you mean alts for alt job (all crafts), I think it's good. Some people create alt characters for crafters, but I don't think it's necessary.

#

#

idk if i even have the inventory space for all the crafters on my main...

leaden ginkgo
#

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah i did all the daily roulettes so im overlvled for everything

#

Pick up an alt job and play/level that with roulettes instead

warped nest
#

It depends

leaden ginkgo
#

NQ?

warm snow
#

No quality

boreal storm
#

Never

warped nest
#

NQ gears have neutered stat

#

Crafted gears have NQ and HQ variation

#

hqlight for HQ gear

nocturne wyvern
#

Just save your gil and focus msq until you get to the shire.

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't think I'm too far off idyllshire my MSQ says lvl 57 already

warped nest
#

HQ gears have the correct stat matching their item level

warm snow
#

You are close yes

leaden ginkgo
#

For example, if your main job is Lv75 and if you are playing Lv55 contents at the moment, if you buy cheap Lv74 gears, you don't have to care about your gears until you finish Lv70 contents.

warped nest
#

NQ gears are quite underpowered so they are rarely recommended

But I still don't recommend doing it because you'd need to look at the same gear for 20 levels

The msq showered you with gears

Are the normal raids good for learning there savage counterparts or do the extra mechs in savage not make it really worth it? o.o

Why waste your gils to get gears when the game is giving you plenty on the way

#

For example, in 12 normal when she casts the primal spells, the safe spots are the same as in savage but without the Telegraph. @buoyant sorrel

boreal storm
#

Dude just stop with this already

leaden ginkgo
#

You don't become an expert in savages by doing normal raids, but you be an expert in normal raids after doing savages. Doing normal raids is not a bad idea

Same with 11 and 11s where it teaches you some of his elemental slices and prismatic deception.

To get used to the pacing of Savage, you can go and try to do some Extreme trials

leaden ginkgo
nocturne wyvern
#

You don’t necessarily need to do extremes to go in to savage. Doesn’t hurt though.

#

Also, doing alliance raids is not a bad option, because their mechanics is kind of difficult and you can also power up your gears. Plus, you can practice your Lv80 rotations there because each boss is pretty long

warm snow
#

Hotbars and buds are 2 completely separate thing

umbral dune
#

oh but honestly, if you need to change hud setting to feel more comfortable when changing job

#

your current setting is not comfortable at all

#

it just the basic of anything you press a lot should be in range of your finger, other buff, at least 80s or above should be further as you press it less frequent

#

and this apply to all job, not just tank, healer or dps specific

graceful sail
#

Makes sense

#

I did change my keybindings in that regard and adapted the standard HUD layout to do more of that

#

Getting more into different jobs and I realize that I need different layouts for each

#

Its unfortunate I can't have a separate layout for each job after 4 since there aren't many saved slots

boreal storm
#

You don’t need separate huds

umbral dune
#

you can still create 3 layout for each role, cus this is pure personal preference, it just that there is no macro to auto change it

boreal storm
#

Just separate hotbars

graceful sail
boreal storm
#

Job 1 has their skills
Job 2 has their skills

#

The skills set on hotbars aren’t shared between them

graceful sail
#

Yeah we don't have the same skills but does the structure and placement of the hotbar itself change?

boreal storm
#

No

graceful sail
#

Rip

warm snow
#

I don't really see why you'd need a different structured hotbar for each job

zealous harbor
#

Which folklores are most important for gathering classes?

graceful sail
#

Haven't tried many jobs but between SMN, DRK and SCH I feel like all 3 need a different layout

#

And then idk about the others if they are similar to these or not

warm snow
#

As opposed to a completely different hud for each job

umbral dune
#

so what we talking for 10mins is just that you dont know how sharing hot bar work

#

then it easy to fix

warm snow
#

You could tick the hide unused hotbar slots and have them all active, just invisible and adjust your job layout that way

I need help to solve a mystery
I've suddenly got a bunch of diverse VII and VIII Materia in my inventory but I have no idea from where. I didn't extract anything.
I just noticed them there after using a Fantasia and running Praetorium on level 70 (no role bonus). But I can't remember Fantasia or Praetorium giving a bunch of materia.
Are they part of the event or does anyone have an idea where they might have come from?

am i correct in assuming that instant cast during trance for SMN is just a small bonus you can discard and the real reason of that spell is to get access to the big nuke it provides?

umbral dune
#

and tri disaster reset

cursive ridge
#

tri disaster feels very awkward to be honest

#

since it's an off gcd ability it feels silly to open with it

umbral dune
#

but you can use it instead of casting miasma and bio

cursive ridge
#

there's usually some travel time for tank to reach the mob

rose current
#

what should i do with duplicate triad cards?

cursive ridge
#

so you can cast miasma during that and then tap bio

that way you can instantly begin charging your aetherflare

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

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

How can I get my gear melded?

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

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

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

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

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

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

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

I guess compared to most games people in FFXIV are more willing to spend large amounts of time collecting these things, that's why I feel like it's alot

proud willow
#

Ownership is calculated based on publicly available characters who have been updated on the site in the past 3 months and possess at least one collectable in a given category.

These percentages are not a reflection of the entire playerbase, but rather a subset of players who are interested in collecting things. If you are looking to collect competitively, then this is probably the data you want.

from the ffxivcollect faq

yeah no. that's not a lot.

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.

When leveling gathering in ARR areas, I get 8 person treasure maps. Does anyone ever do those these days?

faint flare
#

Not really

#

There's no portal dungeon so

#

Only 60+ 8man maps have portal dungeons

Sitting here like "I got 17 levels since unlocking Bard, but only have one Bard skill...wonder why" XD

So is there any way to get ingame hints about the locations of the Aether Currents, or do you just see those diamonds and go, "yep, guess I missed a few. let's open up the wiki."

proud willow
#

there's an Aether Compass key item

Ooooh, that thing they gave you with the chocobo

proud willow

but for the currents from quests, you just have to look for uncompleted blues bluequest

pseudo ginkgo
#

I can live with hunting down the blues, just wondered if I was doomed to wander the landscape and go over it with a fine toothed comb to get the exploration ones

umbral dune

if you want to skip the explore path, ff14 wiki can guide you at exact location

"faq poetics" gives me the poetics guide but what about allegory and revelations? Got those capped as well and really unsure what to do with them

faint flare
#

Revelation is only for gear

proud willow
#

Revelations should be used to upgrade your gear on anything that can still be improved

faint flare
#

Sell mats from allegory for money or augment exarchic

#

Endgame tomes aren't used for much

#

Like poetics are

lethal mist
#

I see. So basically Eulmore and what city for spenditure?

faint flare
#

Only eulmore

lethal mist
#

Ah great. Less running around

faint flare
#

It's all eulmore

#

All the same vendor to spend endgame tomes

Do all crafting jobs requires elemental shard/cystals to craft things?

someone knows why i cant chalalnge him too tripple triad? jsut finished his missions and symbol appeared

faint flare
#

Every single receipe uses then

patent storm
#

And only way to get more shards it to harvest or mine?

faint flare
#

Retainers can gather them...aetherical reduction is good for crystals and clusters...can slowly grow shards in pots in houses

#

Or buy off market

jagged holly
#

i did

umbral dune
#

all side quest in the area?

#

and in hinterland?

jagged holly
#

no jsut his
he had two in the hinterlands too

umbral dune

then you have to do 3-4 more quests

jagged holly
#

ohhh ok

#

Honestly I'm so annoyed by how overly complicated currencies and gear exchanges are... I bought some gear for my WHM with Revelations so thsoe are used at least. Now the Allegory I dunno how to treat. Also those bunker coins and such are only for upgrading gear?

Is there a way to buy precise amount of items instead of whole stock from market?

narrow jay
#

There is not.

#

The game doesn't split out individual items when a person lists a stack.

#

Why does ARR part 2 only give you like 5k exp per quest

lethal mist
#

Every quest that is "at the end" never gave EXP at first, but got it added later. Happens every patcj

boreal storm
#

Because it didn’t give exp period at first

umbral dune
#

because it suppose to give 0

lethal mist
#

All endgame quests are 0 EXP at current endgame, then get added a smal lamount.

faint flare
#

So you don't overlevel for the expansion

do you guys use a chat callout macro when using living dead on DRK?

I don't use one

#

For the subscription.. Is it best to do the entry or standard?

faint flare
#

Entry

left moth
#

entry if you dont need multiple same server characters

faint flare
#

Not many reasons to do standard unless you're a major alt alchoic

lethal mist
#

I wanted to use up Allegory for Refining Sand but I can't buy it from Aymark? The fuck do I do now?

last acorn
#

That wont mess me up in the future will it? :p

wise hearth
#

It's always just letter M, on YouTube I saw people have different icons.

left moth
#

can change to standard easy enough (either in mogstation subscription management or using time cards which are the same as standard sub)

last acorn
#

Ah okie, thank you then <3

faint flare
#

Not the Dow/dom menus

proud willow
#

the M above the text is where you can select an icon

lethal mist
proud willow
#

or if you want it to mimic an ability, you write "/macroicon (Ability Name)" as the last line

leaden ginkgo
#

When you do things like the expert dungeon roulette, you get 40 tomestones of revelation on top of the dungeon one or in total?

#

What's a general rule of thumb for leveling up my first crafter? Is it just get to a certain thing I don't know if I can say that requires at least a level 20 crafter (from what I've heard at least

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah cool, thank you! So if you want to farm tomestones of revelation you should at least do the daily expert one I guess. Main scenario and Alliance raid don't give any on their own so you only get 50 there right?

#

Cause the last 2 dungeons in shadowbringer give 50 revelation, so I was wondering if any of the roulette options was to be done first

#

once you hit 25ish you then need to go gather items

#

(or buy off MB, but I like gathering)

proud willow
#

PotD, Bozja, PvP, etc.

turbid marsh
#

Yeah, right now I'm trying to get like an average of 20 across all my crafters. I've leveled up botany and mining cause they're fun, but I don't like fishing cause it's boring. So it seems I may have to buy all the fishing things I require.

Fishing is for netflix

Hey! So I have a question about relics (doing ARR Stardust, which belongs to BLM):

I've just started the quest where it requires you to meld 75 materias in it, but since they give stats, what stats should I focus if I'm a BLM?

proud willow
#

realistically, you will never need the stats of the ARR relic weapon

lapis stag
#

I'm currently reading the wiki where it says that only level 1 materias can be attached from the start, where they need to be increased further upon more infusions

proud willow
#

so you should use whichever materia you can acquire the cheapest

lapis stag
#

Ah, really?

faint flare
#

You're never gonna use the Arr relic in combat

#

So it literally doesn't matter

proud willow
#

yeah, the final finished weapon is about equivalent to the Augmented Ironworks weapon

lapis stag
#

Well given that most of the content looks dated because of expansion stuff, that's a good point I didn't even consider

obsidian panther
#

@turbid marsh Im not sure if im doing it right, but I try to do the GC/Beast Daily Star Hand ins, and then just take it from there leveling each one to max with material on vendor and then go through whatever - Im trying to get a hand to 30 for dismantle or whatever

proud willow
#

and you'll replace it with something better by level 55

About Grand Company Delivery Missions, as someone just leveling and doing roulettes, are there any items I really need to worry about delivering and never getting again? Some kind of one-time quest reward set or something?

warm snow
#

If you want to be a super min maxer you can but not even I'm that stupid

lapis stag
#

Alright then, thanks for the help 👍

#

I guess I'll use the ones I had stored just in case

warm snow

< has all the arr relics

#

Most are loaded with piety and tenacity materia

lapis stag
warm snow
#

Cuz they were cheap

lapis stag
#

How is your sanity doing

warm snow
#

But I'm honestly not going hard on that

turbid marsh
#

Yeah, I - normally - remember to do my GC hand ins, as the first time I did the one for my gsm it gave like a level worth of exp, admittedly forgot to do them today but I was too busy doing other stuff

lapis stag
obsidian panther
#

yeah - its become a lot @turbid marsh all I know is im having fun 🙂 - Im not sure if there are other hand ins to do.

lapis stag

ARR relics are mostly for glamour, I assume 🤔

So I do not want to pay 9k for bunch of princess trouts when I need just 1. So I want to catch it myself and safe money. Now both ingame fishing guide and log have no search function, so do I have to just check each location and fish to find where princess trouts lives?

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

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

How can I get my gear melded?

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

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

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

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

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

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

Oh i got melding unlocked i just wanna make sure i dont mess up stat wise

faint flare
#

And you follow the meld priority listed

violet moth
#

So it isnt a big deal but, i lost my weapon lol. I was dragging weapons around to see what looked better and i somehow deleted my main weapon, and it didnt even give me a confirmation, the weapons just gone.

#

is there a way to make it so theres a confirmation button? i thought there would have been one, the weapon was a green quality one

warm snow
#

Game does give you a confirmation button before you discard anything

narrow jay
#

^

deep raven
#

do Dwarf Tribe dailies require me to have a crafter?

violet moth
#

oh, does hitting enter make you discard the weapon then if the confirmation button is up? cause i swore i didnt see one haha

narrow jay
#

It'll also have a checkbox depending on if it's classified as unique or untradeable or not

narrow jay

so you have two-step protection in place automatically
