ahh thank you!!
Am I OK to skip any credits in the game? Nothing hidden or stuff that will get skipped over with them?
yes
Yes to which part?
all
Thank you
how difficult is it to get the of dragons deep title
Very.
It’s very rng dependent and you could end up spending hours on it.
I mean you need certain stats but if you’re past level 50 you’ll have them with fishing gear.
my fisher is 80
Stats won’t be the issue then.
its rng
You’ll have to wait for the right time and weather combinations also.
oh shit
Because some of the fish only spawn during certain weather so… have fun with that.
Isn't there a fisher skill that ignores
these weather conditions
nope
F
Indeed.
You think fishing is rng wait until you try and get the dragons deep title.
how do you get Thancred's gunbreaker outfit, Google have me all confused. Is it a reward from msq or do you need to finished the Gunbreaker job questline?
His outfit is the gnb level 80 armor but to dye it white you need to do memoria ex.
Once your role quest is done you can get it from the vendor you’ll meet in the msq.
@nocturne wyvern what do you mean role quest? does it mean any role? or have to be GNB?
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
it has to eb the tank role quest
Are you kicked from dal if your personal duty timer runs out
You only need to do it once for each role though.
@twilit arch so yeah, I would more appreciated if you just say "yes, you have to finished GNB questline"
So once you clear it as gnb its done for all your tanks etc.
It’s not a gnb specific quest my dude, it’s for ALL tanks.
oh, my apologizes
should probably read the FAQ i posted
now I'm even more confused
In shb there is a quest chain for all tanks.
Once it’s done you get your armor from a vendor.
Thats the abridged version.
It’s also required for the msq completion so you won’t miss it.
well I don't even know anymore, guess I'll give up or something. again, my apologizes, I'm not too bright.
You need to have the TANK ROLE QUESTLINE, which is shared by GUNBREAKER, PALADIN, DARK KNIGHT, and WARRIOR
They are functionally the same as your JOB QUESTS, besides not appearing on the MSQ Tracker
Hello, is the 90 day transfer restriction for between data centers or everything. I found a fc that I really like on another world in same DC and all populations are equal there.
Only applies for characters made on Preferred Servers
Oh Light has none of those
@slate arrow appreciated the info. although I still don't understand the majority, it's alright
At same time I am like 2 weeks old.
Do gil buyers ever get banned? Ive seen people openly admitting it but they never get banned
yes
yes, they get banned in waves
It's like VAC waves
Is it the gil buyers or just the sellers?
Don’t know about FF but bans usually happen in waves
Any that they can locate.
#kupo-bot-spam
Sorry
:V
I thought most of the buyers only got like temp banned only the people buying like billions got permabanned
¯_(ツ)_/¯
They don't reveal that info
because people could cheese the system otherwise
it's usually a permament suspension unless otherwise stated
such as via account takeovers and phishing
In the news feed you’ll see them post “action taken against rmt” from time to time.
oops
Yup just like that one.
Rmt is annoying but believe me it used to be a lot worse. When I started the game before HW came out you had to disable whispers because they would absolutely spam you with messages multiple times a minute.
2860 seems like a relatively low number especially if that is across all regions and servers
they just banned 4,7k like, two weeks ago
and a week before that, aother 4.8k
that's just in a few days
If you have like 2.8 skill speed but you didn't materia ss, is it still possible to achieve the samurai without the attacks of the legion and the league of samurais while still carrying out the story mode, since the albatross raid is a very rare thing?
These are not infrequent bans, they happen pretty much every week.
Also have to remember that Aether was recently turned completely congested
I have no idea what you just asked. Can you clarify?
the fuck you talking about
its okay i'll google it ty
how much time do I have between rapturous cleave and deciding which lion I have to take in e12s?
She doesn’t do her half room until after the last lion goes off.
It's the 50/50 between Big or Tether lion that gets me, I don't know when it is exactly
doesnt cleave go off first and then first lion breath?
so I have 5 possible locations right? 2 W lions or 2 E and the N big one
Right after the cleave goes off pop sprint and spot your lion ahead of time.
how soon does the tether come?
I might have to watch a video
e12s prog is so annoying
pug
how do i assign a keybindd to use more than 1 key
The tether spawns soon as the lions appear.
like shift + 1
ah okay
There are only four tethers though and they only ever target the dps or tanks and healers.
I know that yeah
And for the tethers the usual pattern is an X.
Ah I’ve only done the X pattern and N/S with my static.
pause menu > keybinds > hotbars > click on a slot > hold shift and press 1
ty
Are there any bans of people people buying savage pilots/clears? I see ads for those too 
@digital zenith The only recommendation I can give is spot your tether soon as the lions appear, figure it out while moving to dodge cleave, and pop sprint right before the cleave cast finishes.
Well as far as I know if it’s for gil it’s not against the rules. However they can’t advertise it for real money in game.
That’s why they say “contact on discord.”
I’ve never heard of anyone getting banned for buying clears but it’s all happening outside the game itself as far as any talk or exchanges go. 🤷🏻♂️
paying for clears with gil isn't against tos
piloting on the other hand would be
but highly doubt SE is going to announce that kind of thing
do you guys think DRG will get some sort of new mobility skill in endwalker or a passive to reduce CD on elusive jump?
🤷♂️
i recently found out that blm can just teleport to other players and back to leylines on short cooldowns
I love to speculate but I doubt it.
Okay so I just finished ARR. What new jobs can i try?
i find it so strange that DRG only gets elusive jump, ss dive and df dive don't really count since they're part of your rotation
while being supposedly the most "mobile" class
at least in concept
You can get ast, drk, and mch once you get to Ishgard.
Samurai and Red Mage at 50 also.
Uldah.
dont really understand how spineshatter dive and dragonfire don't count, considering you can hold them for a bit if you know certain mechanics are coming up
are you on trial? if yeah you cant get rdm and if not its in uldah
ast as in astrologian?
Yeah.
i thought thats way later? this is my dream
im only lvl 50
someone told me something else like lvl 70
Once you get to Ishgard (which is right after arr) and regain control of your character you can get Ast.
ast starts at 1?
I say “regain control” because there’s a lot of cutscenes prior to that.
of course, but it'd be better to have something similar to SAM gyoten on a shorter cooldown than 60 or 120 seconds
30
Ast starts at 30
Not bad im down
!faq expansionjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require completion of the level 50 main scenario quest 'Before the Dawn'.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Pillars(13,8).
Astrologian - Pillars(15,10).
Machinist - Foundation(8,10).
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Ul'dah(14,17).
Samurai - Ul'dah(9,9).
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Gunbreaker - New Gridania (11.5,12).
Dancer - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12).
I mean....that's elusive jump
at the very least make elusive jump 10s cooldown
Also are you sure you completed ALL of ARR or just the first time you see the credits?
it takes effort to use it and it can get you killed
30s is a pretty generous cd
Because there’s an entire set of post 50 content left after that.
what is prime time for Crystal DC?
Elusive doesn’t deal damage because it used to have a secondary effect of cutting your enmity in half.
ultimately tho we dont have any idea of what's coming for the new skills/traits for the expac and this really isn't the place to speculate
But when they dropped that they didn’t replace it with anything.
just wait for the LL that's coming on the 17 that will showcase the new stuff
what's prime time for Crystal DC?
I live outside Crystal DC timezone so I'm unsure
Not sure sorry.
But it’s off prime time right now.
I think it’s worst between 12pm-8pm pst? But don’t quote me on that.
hey if i get a 601 and want to use a gametime card instead, is that possible
fishing is such a pain is there any way to catch only 1 specific fish?
endwalker jobs (reaper and sage) will start at lv70, highest level jobs right now start at 60 and they're dancer and gunbreaker
right now you unlocked some of the coolest jobs
Nope. There are some later abilities that alleviate rng much later on but not by much.
!action surface slap
Prevent hooking the same fish you just caught. Has no effect on some fish.
Duration: 15s
Effect ends after hooking a fish. Cancels current mooching opportunity.
Overwrites the effect of Identical Cast upon execution.
That’s one of them.
for one fishing attempt.. <.<
Yup.
Then there’s another that allows you to catch an identical one.
But fishing is all rng. That’s just how it goes.
What time is a wedding invitation based on ?
its localized to your time
Thanks
can you use a game time card if you get 601 using card payments?
new ish player - just finished MSQ + at iLvl 520. I've always played solo and relied on randoms via duty finder for raids. Is this viable for Extreme and Savage content?
Duty finder? Unlikely.
You have the gear yeah.
Noone queues for extreme and savage content through duty finder. Whether its viable or not.
You don't need a static for ex/savage, you can pug them
just have to accept that pugging is going to be hit or miss
I know people usually use party finder instead, but I have tight schedule so I don't have a static
You can prog through the party finder yes.
ah I see, so just for example, make a party finder, "prog for savage content XYZ", and people don't have expectation of finishing?
Extremes should be easy enough to get clear but to get savage clears will be difficult.
they do if you say its a clear party
what i mean that by "it'll be hit or miss" is that the groups you're going to get are random
some of them will be good, some of them won't be
oh yeah gotcha
Hell at this point 9S and 10S clears shouldn’t be difficult. 11S and 12S not so much as those are a pain.
talking about Eden?
voice comms help immensely
Yeah.
Randoms can be real good or real bad, and be super positive about progress or toxically expect clears from progress parties. There's all sorts.
Keep your expectations low. That way you’re either always right or pleasantly surprised.
that's my secret, my expectation is always low
But I'd go as far as to say that most people in the game actually clear stuff through pugs. So its totally viable
- turns into a disappointing hulk *
you could try to look for an FC that accomodates people who have tight schedules irl
they're not rare
does Vercure restore a noticeable amount of HP or is it not something you should think about
It is an okay heal but your mp and cast time is usually better spent on dmg
Unless it's an emergency... a big one
compared to SMN's physick, is it much better?
Yes
because SMN's is pretty worthless
You ideally/mainly use Vercure to prep a dualcast
well, technically, ACN
Vercure scales with int
can you use a game time card if you get 601 using card payments?
that's good
if you have a VPN/proxy active, try turning it off
can RDM run out of mana during regular damage dealing? or is lucid dreaming on cd enough to keep it topped off?
Where do i check for events?
lodestone
also launcher will generally have the current event as the first image on the banner
announcement like 2 weeks before it happens
raises are their own balancing mechanic tbh
getting raised hits you with the debuff, and it stacks twice
yeah but at least you're saving the healer's time
where is the grand company hunting log?
you are, but content becomes a slog
and you will be failing enrage timers if everyones going down and needing raises
Inversely, if the healer raises then it saves a lot of DPS. It's all a balancing act 🙂
thank you!!
as rdm you should only rez when its rly needed like when the healer is dead since it costs you a lot of your dps
better than in wow, where you have only a few classes able to battleres and you have an allotment of like 1 res per 2 minutes per combat
If both healers don't have swift you can probably get a res off as rdm
how long would it take to get 200k MGP?
like the rdm rez is strong as heck and its an absolute lifesaver in levelling or disorganised DF content
but the more complex and more coordinated you get, the weaker it is
3 weeks of fashion report
you can get 60k MGP for almost no effort every week with fashion report
make it rain gave +50% to all MGP gains
!fr
And FC buff too
this week's FR is very easy to do
what's fasion report? 
only costs like 200 gil
it's a weekly event in golden saucer
which is a casino-style place of minigames
you basically show off your gear to an NPC in the gold saucer and they reward you with MGP if you can fit the theme well enough
hitting 80 points gives 60k MGP for that week
hitting 100 gives a title
Are those can be done while on free trial?

Hello everyone I’m struggling to get deepshadow twine
You can't... :((((
For anima lux final trials run. Must I have the anima equipped when killing the boss as well or can I use another weapon and exit with the anima?
Is there a quick way to get it
you can swap temporarily by viewing the corresponding trailer in the main menu
but not permanently
quickest way is to run Copied Factory for the manufactured coin
and then exchange that for the twine in Eulmore by the tomestone people
^ if you never close your client, the screen stays. Source: play on the ps4, perpetually rest mode and the screen stays according to the last trailer I watched

Im not near my pc right now but I Will show later today
is it normal for it to take a long time for your accont wide store-bought mount to show up at the delivery moogle?
i don't see anything like that in the settings
yes, account bound items are pretty notorious for taking longer than other items to be delivered
up to 24h also iirc they say it can take a while atm because of the sale
Thanks
so are they actually manually sent out to characters by SE staff or something, then?
nah just the system be slow 🤷♂️
gotcha
probably because it gets registered to your account to flag all current and future characters to get it.
just beat ARR and unlocked flying so i figured i would treat myself
is miniature aetheryte required for guest access > teleport setting?
Can’t find the exchange, I’m at the guy for tombstone but can’t find the deepshadow twine to exchange

awesome thanks for letting me know
where do i buy folklore tomes for scripts?
Idyllshire for the first 3
to get access to that vendor you might have to do a quest first, it starts in mor dhona
you can buy the lv 60 ones in idyllshire or ishgard, the 70 ones from rhaglr's reach or kugane, and the lv80 ones in eulmore
is it possible to craft several of the same thing at once?
yes but it will give you reduced XP and much reduced chance of HQ
I see
its unlocked after lvl10
what is the primary source of shards?
gathering
if you have retainer then it less burdensome or having spare gil, just buy off the market
for the first step of the anima weapon, you can do it while not being on said job for the fates right?
What does Lohs Daih translate to?
So madness within would be a decent interpretation
yeah
does SE add more weapons for newer classes to low-level contents as time passes? (like I see RDM and SAM weapons from lv50 trials)

Stupid question but what does the 50/60/70 dungeon actually worth doing for? Just the usual exp and tomestone stuff?
poetics
not exp
it's not as much exp at levelling roulette but it's worth doing
I see, thank you
Can I please not fail a 50% action 7 times in a row 🙂
is frosted glass lens still expensive ?
Is it random whether I lose ingredients on fail?
yes
what's the chance, what does it depend on
like 10-20%, no way to influence it.
basically just a "did you use an action"
if you quit the craft before using any actions, you always get your materials back
What is the the best discord to join for BLU content? I was recommended to join THE one, but not which one >_<
do i talk to this guy to start with the firmament?

aight
Thank you a lot!
Btw what does double weave (and other similiar words) mean?
Weaving is adding one or several actions between weaponskills, skills will put all other skills in cooldown (global cooldown = gcd), while actions only have their own cooldown (off gcd = ogcd). So while all your skills are in cooldown you can use an ogcd.
Double means you use 2 ogcds in between your gcds, this usually requires very good ping tho or you'll be clipping (different pet class)
Clipping meaning your next gcd skill will be delayed
I'm sure there's some faq for it, you can also search on YouTube for info
!faq weaving
?
Yap
So here, you'll see the ogcd are to upper ones while gcd is the lower ones
So for UCoB it's gcd-pot-gcd-ogcd-gcd-ogcd-ogcd etc
what are some 7-seal reroll strategies for wondrous tails? do i just reroll until i get a possible 3 line?
a lot of them lol
drk is one i can name off the top of my head
gnb does as well, you can see in those pictures
i only played a couple of jobs but i would reckon most of them use double weaving at one point or another
even if only for situational abilities
there are 24 possible combinations of 9 seals in a 4x4 square that result in 3 full lines
so your chance is quite "high"
i wouldn't call it high, combinatrics or w/e it's called is very misleading at times
Then next and last question, is 120-200 ping good enough, and should I bother with ffxivalexander?
no
less than 100
cus high ping also mean delay in general action like moving
and you dont want to eat aoe just because of that
but generally, do you just reshuffle until you run out of chances until you get a -possible- 3 line?
you need to get second chance first to even shuffle
i know, i have a bunch
it kind of unlimited right now
but it get boring and tedious
and even when you get 1 of 24, you still have 2,5% to get 3 lines
not that much change anyway
yeah if you have more than 100 use alexander
So if I want to avoid clipping, I should either try that mod, or just roll with it
Gotcha, and thanks
i have 145ms and can reliably do the mch wildfire gcd req with alexander

This is fine and playable for anything below savage/extreme
unplayable
Like I did some
just use xivalexander
Need to see how it works first
overall ping does make a difference in terms of dodging aoes and stuff but overall its fine
you mean the mechanism it functions or if it works in game
but like world first clear of... i think it was TEA
the blm was sfia and hes from south nz and had like 200ms
Like how to set up
Oh cool
and itll come up with a window and log viewer to tell you that its working
Thanks you all for you the answers
140ms
can i buy a gear item straight into inventory, not in the armoury chest?
tops; his usual is ~120
No but you can manually move it there
yes its a setting in character config > inventory
lol, fair enough
i live in the same country as him but way further north (i.e. closer to the servers)
was more looking for some shortcut to temporary buy a thing into inventory, but eh, not really that important to worry about
I get 156 ms from Texas to JP servers so its more about having good internet
i mean, i have good internet as well
also depends how your isp routes the connection
he lives out in the sticks basically
and i live somewhere where other people do as well
so itd be surprising to see that hed get lower ping than me by default
nz people in my past groups have 120 ms too
is heavensward 24man raid required for msq?
nop
no
How do i deploy squadron
talk to the guy inside the barracks and choose squadron missions
you need 4 recruits to be able to send them on missions
enlistment papers are on the desk in the barracks, if you don't have any, complete some challenges from your challenge log and look if you get a notification for a recruit
Why does the game always tell me that I'm not able to accept all the company seals given as quest rewards?
So I should be spending them asap then?
Ok silly question, is this back to where my grand company is, that little area?
If you have to gain GC rank by doing something specific to them, I'm probably the same starting rank
is there any attribute for gatherer retainers other than "Gathering" and "Perception" that would be useful? Or actually for gathering jobs in general?
All I did was get a chocobo and never look back
Cap is 10,000
Well…Gatherer is not a combat job. So it’s just Gathering and Perception.
Moved over answers (copy and pasted)
talk to personnel officer, second line to rank up
Thank you, I'm just continuing to rank up until I run out
Ok, now my max is 25K
you will get up to 70k simply by filling the seal requirement through 6 rank up
so there is litearlly no use to give them items for certain equip regions?
Why is my quest step not marked 1/1?
Ok, I really need to pay attention to this more then so I'm not wasting any more company seal opportunities
Do repeatable things give you seals?
Is it possible to change my squadron’s class? They’re level 40+ now but still at starter jobs
no, forever class
fates, GC leves, provision and supply, expert deliveries
Ugh I can’t seem to clear the crystal recovery mission despite them being level 42+
and even roulette leveling but only when you match the Adventure in need
meet all 3 requirements
one red and 100% fail
that how flag mission work
if i attended a wedding, how do i get the minion
hi, what can't i see empyrean ring in confiderate custodian? and why i only can go floor 30 in heaven on high

I heard somewhere that either the drop rate was increased or the amount was decreased but that might be for another step
Yo! I don't have a sprout anymore! What's this new icon? It's like a blue... rectangle in a hexagon

and when you reach current expansion (ShB for now), you are no longer a sprout
Lmao, I'm officially a "waiting for duty finder," so maybe I am still a sprout
I think it's cool that "returner" is an actual category
Apparently wedding minion is not from free wedding. Sigh
Whoops
ok
Didn't mean to reply
Which is that? Is that the raid step?
The 24 man step I mean.
At which level will I start to look good
yeah
the one where you have to do 18 of ivalice or mcach raids
(thats probably not how you spell it)
Well good news. The ivalice and sb raids now drop 3 memories each.
So you only have to do 6.
Of each.
..huh?
ok
Wrong reply sorry.
Also, you only need to do that step once.
Yup. Void ark and the first sb one
I forgot the name.
nice
that would be void ark and rabernaste
I thinkl
Yeah that sounds right.
I probably also horribly butchered that too
Close enough.
At which level will I start to look good
For any subsequent relics you have to do the 15 tower raids or castrum which yields 5.
whenever you decide to give a legitimate shit about how you look (Ie putting effort towards it)
They didn't shorten that step.
You can start mixing and matching cosmetic pieces once you hit lv 15 and unlock glamour at vesper bay
you can do that in any expac
best way to get crafter skills yellow as crafters?
You still need to do 18 of each raid.
hmm how can I do that
yaaaay
raids trials relics
getting armor pieces and weapons from those
and you can do them at any leveel?
if not then just tell me the level those become available like my original question
so that would be 50 60 70 80 and soon 90
mostly those
of course if your group is good enough
Wrong.
you can do it at any level
6x3 = 18
it can be done
yeah a lot of the good fashion shit drops from raids
Please tell me there is a way to appraise multiple PotD and HoH items at once?
alexandrian fending piece, edenmorn sets,laws order, bozjan
One at a time.
I mean, you can get half decent looking stuff before then
some
Depending on what you want to look like
but the best comes in at endgame for a lot of people
Is "GP" actually useful for mining retainers? If no, is there any jewelry that is actually useful for mining retainers?
Casual outfits can be gotten fairly early
Yeah.
and what you think looks good
Retainers only look at item level.
so nobodys really to say
And if you have already gathered it yourself.
Yeah
but expeditions require a certain gathering level
The only hard floor to it all is unlocking glamour at msq 15
Yeah and higher level gathering gear will give them the stats needed.
Then, it's figuring out what you like and what level you need to be to unlock all of it
But gp doesn’t matter.
I have another question. How do I make friends with people? the story is solo which sucks, and the game has quest tracker so no adventuring feel, how can I interact with people, where do I need to go
going to the quest objectives just to run to another one is not quite fun alone
just go up and talk to people
request to join an fc
ah ok, I only found item level 50 items for my level 50 mining retainer, probably have to look elsewhere
shout chat in a major city that you're looking for an fc
or if your already in one then become more active
if you don't like it then leave
Most of the people I play with right now, I've met out of game on discord
So it's probably not a bad idea to ask if anyone in the same dc on this server wants to play
thanks tiny and ascian
Your retainer can never go higher level than you or gather what you haven’t already.
So keep that in mind.
Cheering?
ppl cheering
Is there a crowd there for a hunt?
its lvl 70 msq
no
Not sure then.
its even in cutscenes
How does auto-translation work? I think I'm seeing it every time there are little red and green arrow things around text, but do they have to be triggered, or if I say regular things in chat, will they be auto-translated for the receiver?
You have to specifically select the phrase to auto translate.
There's a giant list of phrases in the translation dictionary
so its important ;D
And some really odd sentences.
Ahhh, I get it
https://i.imgur.com/EfjBHEa.png how do you use this?
right click their name in ur friend list
and there is an option to teleport to nearest aetheryte
only the one who I give refer code?
things that are delivered via mail (cash shop...) cannot be bought at salvager npc?
Right.
how do i turn this in to good money without waiting a week for it to sell on market board?
G7 combat materia isn’t worth much.
You won’t make a lot off it.
my main source of gil is the level 8, but i dont know what to do with this, i saw a thread that says something about transmuting crap materia in to good ones
is there a chance that this 7 will become 8?
I don’t know tbh.
But it’s an rng system. You could turn in some G7 and get some 5’s or 6’s.
Assuming the npc will do that.
Or get a grade 8 that’s worthless like tenacity.
feels bad, i'd probably just get 686 g7s and sell it on npc for 100k
That’s what I do with my G7.
Vendor trash. :/
I don't have a conjurer's arm for whatever reason, I need a level 1, where can I find it specifically? I've looked while I've been around a lot of "starting area" places, and they're all selling me level 20+ gear
Starting cities
Very specifically, I should find it in Uldah, and where in Uldah?
Is it true that killing a certain mobtype in zadnor will spawn a specific CE?
can i use other class to q in dungeon in SHB relic step 3, dungeon leveling?
Yes
Sapphire Avenue Exchange, from one of the NPC merchants
Yes. You never nees to use that job for Shadowbringers relics
@faint flareyes, thats cools
Warning: you won’t get the memory if you already got your leveling roulette bonus for the day. So if you did it before you picked up the quest and then grab the quest and run leveling after it won’t work.
Happened to me.
So is the common practice for baldesion support to disband and take portals solo?
And when do stable portals spawn?
@nocturne wyvernnice, i didnt run leveling roulette this day. thanks for the tip isnt lvl 60 dungeon not limited per day?
Correct.
I recommend spamming anti tower. It’s the easiest.
thanks for the tip
That's fine. I might not have said it right:
I'm level 59 miner
My retainer is level 50. even in ishgard I find it hard to find gear for a level 50 miner that is sufficient for the "Gathering" requirements for a level 50 highlands expedition
For levelling DoH/DoL is it a good idea to get them all to 70 via quests/leves and then just do Ishgard stuff?
hi, what can't i see empyrean ring in confiderate custodian? and why i only can go floor 30 in heaven on high
Only premades can go past floor 30
You can level them completely via Ishgard stuff or do leves or a combination.
Okay ty 🙂 I assume Ishgard is also "cheaper" ?
As for which is best, I prefer leves but I had friends to HQ items for me.
Yeah it is.
Aight thanks a lot! 🙂
@boreal storm I need empyrean ring. I heard you only get it when u get floor 100 heaven on high. What are premades?
A premade means you make a full party of 4 yourself.
Fixed party
Not the group finder.
You can't use matched parties
can someone tell me how to start the quest "A Jobb Well Done"? can't find it anywhere x.x
!quest A Jobb Well Done
It'd in the crystarium
I only have that quest left for aether current
In the crystarium
@nocturne wyvern Fixed party means you have to find party yourself? But I don’t see anyone looking for pt outside the entrance? Isn’t that quite hard to find a fixed pt
I can't find it! no marker on the map!
I check it out then, appreciated
bought a mount from mog station, it's still not arrived, this was over 2 hours ago
Yeah you’d have to make a party finder or ask around for friends or people you know or in your fc.
Is it account-wide?
It can take up to 24 hours
yes, it's account wide
@nocturne wyvernhavent done leveling roullete today, and im doing it for wondrous tails, crystal clusters and bitter memories, feels like a god
Is it better to level your retainer from scratch or buy the jump?
hi. is getting a fully maxed out BiS crafter useful in endwalker or it's immediately eclipsed by normal lvl 90 gears?
Ok don't they bring better items the higher they are?
not for quick ventures no. iirc its random
sometimes they can bring you just one crystal lol
It will probably last for a few levels in to EW.
it'd be useful until like... level 85 so yeah i'd say so. would save some gil/crafting time at the least
oh so it's not a requirement then to craft crafted gears for end walker raiding then?
not a requirement no.
guys, can i get lv80 equip from grenoldt if i havent reached that area through quests yet? (like if someone flies me there)
its 124 150 157 28
The game physically tells you when it's unlocked
hey, is there anything i could buy with my Poetics that sells easily on the market please?
i'm not a big money-maker but capped on Poetics and running trials for fun, would like to put them towards somethin useful if poss!
!faq poetics
You also have to complete your role quests before he’ll sell you the stuff.
I believe that notes things you can sell in there
much appreciated!
yeah, i was trying to get them before those particular quests xD
but at least there won't be trials/dungeon to do with my low equip
how much money do you get from hunt trains
Why some items cannot be desynthesized?
The option is there but it's greyed out
You don't have the right crafter at lv30
It says what crafter does it In the tooltip
Can someone help me? I don't know why i don't have real-reborn extreme trials unlocked

Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
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.
Your job quest is shown under it
As so
If your job quest doesn't appear, youre not in heavensward
@faint flare i don't have that quest on Walking sands
ok cool thanks :)
how do i see completed quests?
doesn't show
It's case sensitive
it says no matching quests
Have you actually done Titan hard
is this titan?
Yes
then yes i have
Then you either have it accepted or already completed
i have done all of them on hard
Go here and check the next step
The fastest way to get 60 is potd? Im getting one level after 3 potd runs
what is potd?
54 rn
but i thought you need to do msq to unlock things?
Alt jobs
51-60 takes ages basically no matter what really
Potd is unlocked very early.
beyond too? like 60-70
I see. I leveled my DRG and DNC for HW, but now im at the end and i want to play the next dlc with sam
Also, there is any glamour like the potd weaps?
Yes
You spend your aetherpool to get grips at the cleroc

How long do job quests from start to finish normally take
I need to get my sch up to date haha
like from 5-80?
A) doesn't matter they're mandayory
B) not a huge amount of time,but the sch ones are some of the better quests imo
I know I need em I'm a smn main who didn't bother with sch but I'm gonna give it a go
I enjoy shielding as AST and I know they're losing it and sch looks fun with barriers
what is sch?
Scholar
can you die at all under floor 101 on potd, if youre trying to get necromancer title?
nope
the actual achievement for it ingame doesnt really seem to mention death
oh
So it's a forced reset
hello, i have stack of materia tier 7, should i sell them now or will the same tier of materia will be viable on endwalker? just want to prepare, thank you
okay thank you
where can i store stuff like house decoration
Is the quest title "I am Millicent, Hear Me Roar" a reference to something?
There's millions of references everywhere
Yes that's why I'm wondering. It sounds like it's referencing something but I don't know what
A song called 'I am woman, hear me roar'
ah, thank you!
Can a level 1 blacksmith and armorer desynthesize items or is it on Level 30?
Basically almost any quest title is a pun or a reference
Is it possible to craft dyes?
lvl 30 and each crafter can desynth specific thing, displayed on the item itself
where do i find the hunt discord for light and the balance discord? could someone give a link
open crafting log, change to other tab(default is receipt by level, right next to it is advance and other), the bottom Other category to craft dye
So you have to be at 30 each to desynthesize a specific thing?
for hunt, you would want to be in a linkshell as well

hi! im trying to fllow this guide to make aesthetes gear from white scrip gear:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTr6uPHwL7ngPFkLAzlVR3TQWndidtkLqxtXX9hPKvzhvtqL5TGS_nlBwmNWdbsiuZxsFe5W1SxY7t5/pub
and i have all handsaint items, with HQ crafting syrup + HQ blood bouillaise on, yet, i don't have enough CP to finish the rotation ): (im working on making merbau lumber)
fairs - thanks!
You can often find links in #resources
so i find out no one is selling high quality tincture of intelligence, is it bad?
Not really
no need tincture if you are not aiming for parse
just get foods and 520 gears, that's enough
is tincture a bad source of income? ._.
oof... ok then... how about smoked chicken?
so i bought SDS Fenrir and didnt went to the mail halppp
How is Dalriada for exp? Should I stick to just Zadnor to level?
And whoever have them are probably trying to spend their stock and get ready for Endwalker
so basically people in saving money phase?
Sometimes, when I hand in a tradecraft quest, I am prompted to handle more than 1 item.
How is it decided which items can be handed multiple times? So I can make them in advance
Pretty much yeah
<<< extremely late to crafting club
@willow sandal it depends on the leve
ok then thanks everyone
If a leve is a triple, then it will always be a triple
It's decided by the "type" of the leve. It'll have a different picture-- best you can do is just check a wiki.
should I just look up that leve?
do you guys know to when will be the next sale for the game? i wanna buy the full one xD
ok thanks
I believe that they have a different leve icon
I can see int tincture in tonberry
1395 each 99 stack
if you are a seller, you can sell
But an easy way to tell is that those triple leve have lower exp rewards
but yeah if you are on elemental, Tonberry probably will lower your server price
Compared to leve at the same level
If you have two leve that gives 1 mil exp, and a leve that gives 700k
The 700k is a triple
(triple has a different and distinct leve icon, but I have no clue what it looks like, sorry)
what do you mean triple, you can only hand in 3 items?
You can hand in 3 items on 1 leve
dal can give you a good half a level
do you guys remember when Yugiri first appear?
post-arr, I believe
yeah postarr
cheers 🙂
So in terms of exp gain per leve quota spent, those are much better. But you do need to craft 3 more items
for example these leves, how do I decide which one accepts multiple items? Their XP reward is the same
Look to your right and look at the leve card
same cards
Triple leve has a different design for their card
Then neither of them is triple leve
Thank you, Sen.
Ishgard restoration or leves
Did the research. For Tradecraft leves, there are three "types" of leves: Charity, Constancy and Ingenuity. They can only be recognized by their respective images: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ingenuity_(Guildleve) https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Constancy https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Charity
Charity leves allow you to repeat the leve up to three times. Constancy leves want you to make an item and deliver it on the spot, Ingenuity wants you to travel a bit to deliver your items.
Traveling to deliver leve is not a thing once you got into Heavensward, I think
Thank you, Tael
🙇
ok!! i was trying for the past 30 minutes to find an answer to the issue i had earlier (crafting merbau lumber HQ with handsaint gear)

Are you level 60 yet?
Yes
Have you cleared those two quests?
Yes
Talked to the NPC to make sure that the quest isn't hidden in their UI?
yes
Well, crap, I am out of things I can ask to figure out what's missing
Currently doing Fisher LV60, Carpen Diem. Must I unlock flying in the map to reach the southeastern island in Sea of Clouds?
I have heard that its better to send retainers on quick exploration rather than 18hr ones most of the time, is this true?
Flying is required for some job quests
Assuming that you are going to more gathering in the future, just unlock flying and be done with it
Oh maaaan which means I have to do Aether currents oof. Aiiight
Hw aether currents are pretty easy to get
You can ask around to see if anyone wanna give you a lift
And chauffeur you around with a multi seat mount
Aight I’ll continue job quests after finished hw completely lol
Getting aether currents asap is always worth it, they make your life so much easier
Sea of clouds has one that is a quest started in another zone
have you check your journal for active quest or finished quest and have you equip a gatherer or crafter lvl 60 at that location?
how do i go about instaling stormblood cause i cant do the main story now
you own the expansion?
wdym
I figured it out and got it to work
doi have to buy shadowbringers
base game + ShB or Complete edition
cause it saying i need it istalled and registord
purchase game from SE store -> use activation code on your free trial account's mogstation and upgrade to paid version-> game will update on next launch (same launcher)
Does sprint stack with peloton
override
i click buy on the mogstation and it just brings me to shadowbringers
Only the highest movement speed buff I'd applied
Shadowbringers gives you stormblood
so i would need to buy it?
Monk stat priority, crit > DH > det?
no i have the game bought
Then buy shadowbringers
whats it saying about regesation tho
code is entered on mogstation account page
are they on a different DC? @quiet acorn
can u change color of quest? its hard to read its the "plates of caramels" part https://i.imgur.com/uZiBC2Y.png
Y’all uhm
@obsidian panther yea
If I skip cutscenes then watch all of them at once like a whole patch of cutscenes
ok so the conclusion is i buy shadowbringers and it gives me a code
Y’all think it’d be fine? Or less enjoyable experience
Yes...just like how buying starter edition gave you a code
ah ok ty
And you registered that to your mogstation
yea, if you already have the starter edition then you just need shadowbringers
pls respond
You can only talk to people on Same DC - you have to first go to a capital Aetheryte and then go to their world - add them to friuends and then you can talk to them on same DC
source: I had to figure this out with a buddy myself haha
@obsidian panther oh wait , sorry they are in a differnt world not dc
yeah so go to their world
no?
