but i may notify you
later classes you get in dlcs start at lvl 30+ (i think 2 at 30 2 at 50 2 at 60)
ok thank you
Ricochet doesn't get buffed by hypercharge, right?
it does
Hi asking here but is trading people clicking a placard to get them to accidentally trade you gold a reportable offense? I'm on the housing discord and they are telling me no
they are correct
Paragon, are you sure?
just to /busy
it doesnt increase damage but it does lower the cooldown
Yeah I wasn't aware of that until after the fact and they nicely leave that out of their guides
Ok gotcha
Doesn't this just encourage people to earn money doing this...
you ought to alternate gauss round and ricochet during that phase
which is why you go on /busy
housing is a FFA
Again learned this afterwards I read their entire discords guides cover to cover and it never mentioned this
That's disappointing. Thanks.
Was just surprised because SE seems to be on top of everything else having to do with bad behavior so I was blown away this specific very abusable one is not
housing has been a shitshow for a while now
how do i turn the fucking target lock thing off on controller?
i'm about the hulk smash 🙂
if you trade someone gil, its on you
should be paying attention
ultimately tho, set yourself to busy so you can't be traded with
Is this the right time to buy aesthete equipment?
It's not. They abused a obvious flaw in the system(that shouldn't even exist) to steal gold from me. Or are you the same type of person to say walking down a alley means I'm asking for it
It is
there are atleast 2 prompts required to say yes to
to confirm the trade
not saying what the person is doing is right, but the simple fact of the matter is that you confirming the trade is on you
If I buy a outfit that was designed for males, can I use it on a female character? Vice versa
no
at what level can i do the hall of novice
Aww, alrighty
"designed for <gender>" means its only wearable for that gender for mogstation costumes
Gotcha
Lv15 iirc
does perception matter for retainers? Or only gathering?
only gathering
Can i get a blue mage skill even though I dodged it?
yes
How effective is diadem for doh and dol levelling?
you only need to see it
Ok thanks
My friend and I were trying to do our quests and FATES, but two players kept going around calling all of the enemies in around us and then attacking the FATES while we were distracted by the random enemies. We asked them to let us get some hits on the FATE enemies, and they only started dragging even more enemies in on us. We thought, okay, well at least they're gone. We moved on to do another quest which happened to have a FATE spawned on it. Those two players returned and did the same thing to us, but another person as well. We couldn't do anything. What do we do in situations like this?
(I'm used to Siren World, but this has been a plaguing problem on Famfrit)
This song of torment is really a torment to get
you can report it as griefing via the support desk
or just go and do the fate anyways
unless you're AoEing, you cannot grab aggro on enemies
so if you see them dragging mobs over, just stop attacking or something
Okay, we'll report. And the enemy thing was that they called them in on a tight circle around us, so we were struggling to tab out of them to the FATE enemies, especially since they were killing the FATE enemies within one or two hits.
Thank you for the advice. I'll pass it on. The experience nearly made my friend (new player) want to quit the game altogether. I managed to convince her this is not normal behavior (as I have never seen it before now).
wait are you trying to fate farm to level or something else
you should not be using FATES at all to level, they suck ass
MSQ always takes priority
if you have 2 or more people and you're beyond level 15, use dungeons
Is it a a good idea to skip regular quests and just do the MSQ ones when leveling up? With maybe those blue ones that unlock stuff?
Is pressing keys superior to clicking the abilities?
If all my caster has the same equipment, is it possible to make glamour for each class?
so
I take it that the only way to download the entire game is to pay for a subscription first?
50 and 70 have a process for the dyeable versions, 60 right away
Thats fine... It is just my RDM using my SMN glamour and it looks a bit weird... Thanks
Can you play with kb/m on ps4?
I think 80 is dyeable off the bat?
80 is not
Nah, we're doing it for achievements and seals. 🙂
Requires memoria ex
Oh Yeah that
I'd recommend doing them with BLU mages, and for seals just power level your Grand Company for gear turn ins
does anyone have the fashion report for this week?
We are only in ARR and early in the game, so other classes aren't available yet. We're going for seals early for promotions and items/gear.
only available on the weekend
I can do the fashion report now
oh okay i see now
KaiyokoStar on Twitter always has good fashion report cheat sheets every week
just type !fr in #kupo-bot-spam on the weekend
when it's available
So everyone complains about ARR being a little draggy, does that mean heavensward and further feel more succinct?
not everyone
It is a lot of world building that suffers a bit from lack of pacing
Heavensward onwards is definitely more compact
Ty. Literally just saw the word Heavensward on the cut scene
Then congratulations
Yes

how do i get poetics besides the roulettes?
!faq poetics
See vid
im still in HW
!faq contentunlock
Yea im on like the 2.5 content so i think im pretty sure its about time
I wanna make sure i do all the important side quests before moving on to hw
How to lock your keybinfs so your mouse doesn’t accidentally remove them

Thx
(newbie 5 days in, WHM lvl35) So while my SO isn't online I'm leveling an ACN, but without a MSQ to do I'm struggling to find the right areas with the right level quests? Any tips?
!faq altlvlguide
ty!
yellow quests dont really give good exp
better to do hunt logs until lvl 16
Oh god I hope it's nothing like torghast haha
How do I get into them? I can't find it under Duty Finder
does anyone have a GNB layout for controller they'd be willing to share? even at 60 it feels tight and looking at 70/80 rotations it seems like it'll get overwhelming to map cleanly
um where do I pick up my fantasia again lol
You talk to the wood waiter captain in quarrymill after unlocking
Idyllshire or ishgard sundry splendors with poetics
Is there such thing as carrying in this game or everyone contributes equally
o ok
Everyone contributes. You can't carry shitters through mechanics that wipe everyone if 1 guy fucks up
You can carry in dps, but not in mechanics
So this game isn’t equipment based?
It's skill based
As long as you meet the minimum requirements for the duty, you can clear if you do the mechanics
And do your job
More gear gives extra leniency in dps
So there’s no ranking system, like a #1 samurai in the server?
Is getting necromancer even realistic for someone who is fairly new to the game?
If you practice enough then sure
do i have to finish heavansward to unlock sundry splendors in ishgard
clearing content is more important than being the best at it
yep i see now ty
yo, how long would it take to go through the story skipping every cutscene? I wanna level an alt but dont wanna pay 50 euros to boost
Skipping cutscenes, maybe 100hours or so, cause it's still meaty as hell
sadge, i guess that's doable in a month
Is there a ffxiv mahjong interface guide, I know how to play mahjong but is there an indicators or settings guide I can take a look at?
I'm looking for a collectable in the 50-60 range I can spam the heck out of for crafting scrips. Does anyone have a recommendation?
what's the easiest opponent for the win 1000 roulette matches achievement
i dont understand what goes in the armoire. Is it only the class specific gear you get at the job quests lvl 45/50?
specifically tied to achivements

when you preorder endwalker
do you immediately get the preorder bonuses
or do you receive them closer to release?
you get the earring and one of the minions somewhat immediately, the other stuff comes on release, including the mount
So I’m working on my anima weapon and got to the part were I need to allocate the stats. As a machinist I did crit hit first. Should my second stat be determination or direct hit rate?
Really? When it upgrades it doesn’t keep the stats?
Just hit 50 on my NIN - got Ironworks weapon and basic 50 gear from class quests...getting clapped by level 52 quest mobs...should I grind some Poetic gear out first?
Heavensward expects you to be at least around i110 or so
gotcha gotcha
trying to figure out how best to budget buying the game and expansions
yeah - im at around 90 right now
You're way below
Alright - when I had my SAM at 50 I think I bought a bunch of gear and got myself up
(poetic stuff)
Do you need to be level 80 fisher to attempt to get the shark mount? And if so how long does it take to get to 80?
Ohh okay I’ll try around then
I got it at 70 without using double hook at all, it can be very RNG
Get ad many double hooks during spectrals as possible
Pop cordials for them
And chase bonuses during downtime
should I use North Star or Riddle of Earth when I can move around to hit boss positional?
They're for when you cant get to positionals
if you're able to hit the positionals by moving normally then do that, save the ability for when you can't move because of mechanics or when the boss turns
Im so tired of walking out of a aoe and then still gettingn hit by it
Really boutta quit
You need to be out before the marker disappears/casts end
until the yellow area disappears, don't walk back
If you’re in the circle as it disappears, you getting hit
The game "snapshots" your position when the cast ends
If you're still in the area when the cast ends, even if you move out afterwards, you'll get hit.
So move earlier 🙂
in the opposite, as long as the cast ends without you in it, you can walk back immediately
even if the animation looks like it will hit you. It does not
you do that to deal with multi-ring attack
Where do you get Augmented Ironworks gear?
Mor Dhona
It looks so cyberpunky and i need it, I see a lot of ppl at my level have it
are they vendors?
Yes
at like Revanenst toll?
this one
They're always near aetherytes
well, doing roulette or lv50-60-70-80 dungeons
Only 50/60/70
MSQ roulette gives phat poetic
80 gives different tomes
If you’ve done Prae already, you should have enough for a weapon
anybody else have this weird issue with the 2FA when you enter the password too soon and it says it's invalid? both my pc and phone have automatic time correction on so i'm not sure what the problem is
should i just not be entering the code that just refreshed or something
do you enter the code when it is about to expire?
the opposite
well, I have that problem when I tried codes that is 5s about to expire
if i enter it too soon, it doesn't work, then i enter it again and it works
feels like a time sync problem but it's weird since it's all on auto sync
Wait is the 300 Poetics reward only daily?
yes, but you also get poetics from the dungeon itself
or can i just fucking grind a shitload of them and get all the gear in a day?
Daily roulettes
Why does the recast timer for fire 3 not work its always 3.36
100 for the dungeon plus i think some bonus if there are first timers
you can get a chunk
but grinding MSQ roulette is a recipe to hate the game
I remember my first 50 - I did 2K in just doing the CT raids/random dailies
just do it once a day
Fire 3 at Base has a long cast time that gets halved if you have Ui3
UI3?
Why does the recast timer say 2.40
Because recast = Cooldown
hi new i'm dad
Not the cast time
Yeah you'll end up getting a ton of poetics.. I ended up spending some on hear for jobs I don't really play just so I didn't cap
@upbeat gorge tsunomaki
hi dad im new
hoisted by own petard. what's up?
Just farm lv50 dungeons after daily roulettes
play samurai
yeah it's very easy to get poetics if you just do two roulettes a day
im lvl 12
Story gears your first job
You never buy gear with gil
2?
From vendors
what should I buy with gil?
how can you do 2 roulettes a day for the poetics?
yeah gear from MSQ should be well enough to get you through the MSQ
Nothing
nothing, really
Use your gil for teleports and repairs
thank you guys
and erp
and maybe for alt jobs like gathering
I do 50/60/70 alliance raid and msq when I'm doing a poetics kind of day. Takes a couple hours depending on queue
my MMO experience is wow and GW2
There’s more than 1 roulette
You unlock more roulettes, like 50/60/70, trials and alliance raid
and its looks like this game is really fun
@upbeat gorge I played wow forever - this game is a lot of fun so far 🙂
when do you get to go to dungeons like in wow?
i played wow for at least 5 years, this game is better
lvl 15 is your first dungeon
takesa bit - just take your time...dont compare it to wow at all
or 16, something like that
imo attacking animations is lotsa better in this game
you have to do the main story to progress to unlock all of the dungeons and it teaches you all the systems as you go.
they can kinda border on ridiculous though
yeah, MSQ and the second quest under the MSQ in the top left corner of your screen should be your priority
Yeah I've played WoW for 12 years, it's a great game, but it's got some shit it's gotta do if it wants to be nearly as good as this game is
is there a quick way to disengage from training dummies? I just want to switch jobs lol, do i really have to run away from them before coming back?
Right click
Reset enmity
ahh tyty
I wonder can I switch this windows and door which is coming up as house as original?
Would anyone on chaos be willing to help me farm the kirin ponies?
Make a PF
It's also 4am
haha yeah that's why I'm asking here
It’s still 4 am, Europe time
to see if there are any NA players on the eu datacenter
does this game lvl work like in wow?
For example in wow your lvl get adjusted to fit the suitable lvl if you're to high
Lvl sync is a thing
You get synced down
just limits your gear and abilities
hmm it seems that I can't make a PF in the free trial
Where can I get an invite to ultimate primal raiding?
whats the fastest (in terms of hours played) to level alt jobs? Dungeon/roulette spam?
!faq altlvlguide
Thanks!
im at the marker but i dont see the quest objective
land. it might not be loaded in?
It’s at a Lower height, see the downward arrow
What's the deal with party finders with average item level of something impossible like 988?
jeebus, where's the delivery moogle in limsa? I just want my fantasia potion 🙃
nvm of course I instantly find it finally lol
does diadem need high level DoL equipment to do?
The Diadem has multiple tiers of gathering items. Low level crafts only require low level gathering items, but they don't provide as many scrips as higher level items.
If your gatherer and crafter jobs are low-leveled, it's still worth doing these easier crafts to level up your jobs quickly.
For blm you on use the level 1 element and then use the higher ones once u have insta cast right
level 43, is it considered as low?
yes
you use fire 3 for max astral fire stacks
then spam fire 1 and use fire 3 procs as they come up
this is until you get fire 4 at level 60
@naive ridge how much more dmg does each astral fire stack cause
40/60/80%
ic
so always 3 stacks from lvl 40
The tiers are essentially ARR-level, Heavensward-level, Stormblood-level, and Shadowbringers-level. I don't know what exactly your gear is looking like, so I'd just recommend trying them out and see how often you can successfully gather stuff.
is there a way to permanently glamour a retainer or do you just have to glamour each item they wear individually?
Don't worry about Perception in the diadem.
are there other ways to get 'free aetheryte' tickets besides recruit a friend?
HQ diadem items don’t exist
you can glamour dresser yourself and then equip to your retainer but otherwise you have do glamour their new gear each time
thx
ok, i need technical help
i think from allied and centurio seal
my game crashed, and now i cant get past the launcher. It says "A fatal DirectX error has ocurred. (10000000)" Anyone knows what that means?
reinstall direct x
ooh that's interesting, allied seals aren't very common, but centurio ones i have in spades
1 ticket per 5 seals
Im max level alchemist, how do i meld more materia to my gear? I have some crafted gear from the marketboard that has extra melds on it.
so weekly rank B give you 20 x2 already
if you want to overmeld stuff, you need to do the quest to get access to advanced materia melding
It's in the same place you learned how to meld materia in the first place iirc
ah gotchya, i remember another blue quest sitting there and i kinda just left it there for a couple years now
you can check if you have it by checking your general actions
how about GP?
Is there a way for console players to back up ui settings from one server and download it from another? The in game functions only work within the same server
Better pop them cordials boy, you gonna want em
im leveling through ARR and im about to cap on allagan tomestones of poetics, what should i spend them on?
Ironworks
hey for tank leveling i spam closest lvl dungeon or just keep doing roulette?
Up to you
i want to put together a hoh static, would it be better to go 3 dps and a tank or your standard light party?
2 dps, healer and tank
Both pretty much give same xp
im just wondering what gets faster queues, im usually dps so fast queue times are foreign to me lol
Roulette is once a day
You shouldn't do it more than once a day
after your first roulette leveling bonus it's better to queue to dungeons of your own level
even with adventurer in need?
!faq poetics
or is that more for poetics
with random roulette you have a chance to get something like sastasha
which will barely give you any exp
it just shows 'your queue as this role will likely be very short'
The Gil (and seals in the case of levelling) can add up, the exp.. trivial
So I was on FFXIV like yesterday~ and when I open it up again today it's trying to update again (17718 MB) as if it had never updated? I use Steam~ if anyone else has encountered this
Is there a other colored butterfly minions around? ive seen blue which i believe is called the Morpho. but is there a different colored varient?
what happens when you go above 9999 elemental shards? can you just not pick up any more?
There's a minion called the "butterfly effect"
that sounds about the size of stormblood+shadowbringers. did you buy the expansions recently?
yes, can't have more shards past the cap
That's the only other one I know of
Ty, ill look into that. Hopefully i can get it somehow
Ahh @cursive ridge Thank you 🙂
Noooo! Market Prohibited Q_Q
Get those gemstones
Shadowbringers

I must have it
....time to speed through Storm... ty x_x
hm, all my crafters are now 60+ and suddenly the moogle daily quest exp went off a cliff
this intentional?
I would hazard a guess that it is.

yes it's normal, for 60-70 you can unlock the namazu in stormblood
i fear by the time i get to stormblood they'll all be 70
where can I get above level 430 gear? is it only the Market Board?
hello guys
has anyone ever gotten an HTTPS System Error -2146697211
when trying to launch final fantasy on windows 10
do you guys have any macro for botanist in diadem?
For gathering in levequests, is it recommended to get a surplus or just settle for minimum?
!faq gearguide check the lvl80 part or if you have the gil and don't want to grind your gear slowly up buy the ilvl 510 from market
personally I would gather as much as possible since leve nodes give a higher base exp as when you gather as on normal nodes and also use a exp gathering manual for the buff
how much mgp do i need for the returning ffxv event? i'm buying the hairstyle and costume as well
Not a thing since there’s no collectables in there
I think 230k or so for everything
oh alright then thanks
about 230-250k should be more as enough
The costume comes from the quests, Music rolls from doing a fate, and then Car/Hairstyle/TT card from MGP
I'm doing Open Card Tournaments, which occur every 2h, and I'm standing there waiting, then it starts and someone else is in there. However I didn't see anyone go by? Can you enter from a distance?
Other servers
Ah that explains it, thanks. Was hella confused at first
I'm trying to collect every TT card in the game, what's the easiest and quickest crafter to get to 80 for beast tribe cards?
Any, really. But in terms of most independent then probably culinarian?
Sounds good
is arm's length kind of a defensive cooldown for tanks? does it essentially make you take 20% less damage since it makes enemies 20% slower?
if I apply a glamour plate, does that mean I can't sell the item anymore?
Don’t ask how you cook up tank parts, that’s better unsaid.
Only for non-boss enemies, but yes
oh, so it's like stun, doesn't work on big guys?
Yep
Have you ever cooked hardtack? You could make a tank outta that
good info
Yes, putting items into the dresser binds them to you
no, like If I apply a glamour plate to the items i currently have equipped, am I locked out of selling the equipped items on the market board?
Oh, yes too.
crap...
equipping stuff binds it
this is regardless of glamour plates and stuff
so all i have to do in diadem is... click the one with 100%? i dont have to click on any other button?
i am new to gathering
gather the highest level stuff you feasibly can or stuff you need to craft with
Well, you should probably check which crafting jobs you're planning to get materials for.
Grabbing the 100% ones is a safe bet though.
is saving character appearance data server side or client side?
Since either way, you're getting gathering job EXP.
I am using a fantasia and wanted to backup my current look
Note that you'll need some other materials to create the collectibles to turn in.
So say you want to level up Carpenter.
do glamour plates persist outside of cities?
IIRC Client-side data, but can be exported to a cloud database
Is the entire Crystal DC known for roleplayers?
You'll need a Yew Log in addition to 5 Skybuilder's Switch.
Should be the cog above the character names
Namely Balmung and Mateus for the main worlds
ah~
i want to level up my leatherworker and goldsmith
they are both at level 60s
geh my DoL are all below 60, i guess this is going to take a while
yes
glamour plates are just pre-set glamouring
okay ty
So, if I join any other server on Crystal, I'll be safe from the roleplayers? 😛
I am on Goblin in Crystals, and its not like ppl roleplay in your face or anything like that. you can play and never even notice
And its not like they are something to be "safe" from lol
My bag is awash in random crafting materials. Besides simply selling them, is there a quick way to consume them?
RP will be anywhere you go but genrally avoiding RP spots will not let you interact with RP-ers yes
and even then only on Balmung Quicksand the most notable public hotspot
All your crafters should be around the same level
not rly rp/erp you can find on every world only some worlds/dc have more of it
@hazy estuary FFXIV_CHARA_xx.dat should be the character appearance saved data
thanks a lot man! Will back it up on my drive
Yeah, the Level 60 crafts require Level 60 materials.
Sounds good. Just trying to decide which server to start on.
That said, there's good EXP to be had just by doing gathering.
Do weekly reward restriction from raids only apply to some raids or all the SHB raids?
As of now, nothing has a weekly loot lock
Oh! 😮
the high end allagan tomestones
Would being on a legacy server make it harder for someone starting out?
Legacy just means the world exist back in 1.0 days
Before we moved into ARR
It doesn't do anything to gameplay experience
you don't really need other players to 'start out', you might not even interact with any players of your world at all
when will they add the makai clothing to the mogstation?
since you can find people to play with from your whole datacenter, which world you are on is pretty eh, not a big deal
I would like to point out that while Revelation is weekly capped at 900 (you can only earn 900 per week, you can keep up to 2000), you are free to run lvl 80 raids as many times as you can bear to farm it
The raids themselves do not have any weekly restrictions on Revelation
Unknown, the GARO franchise isn’t owned by SE so they can’t make the choice on their own.
There are alternatives, they might not look the same but maybe you might find something you'd like?
do people use heal/mana potions in later content or is this something that was abandoned after early expansions?
HP potions stop being a thing in stormblood
Kinda the same for MP, too? They still restore a good amount of MP though
it's kinda sad, i like using them
while rearranging the HUD
is there any way to move the chatbox location?
ah, gotcha.
thanks
Does it matter where i put points in?
How do I move past second lieutenant in a GC?
squadron, rank them up
are you using the weapon? if not then nah plus you can redistribute later
question, let's say I enter palace of the dead as a conjurer, does that mean I'm a conjurer while inside? can I even enter as a conjurer?
yes but you cant use whitemage skill
what you choose at the creation of save lock you to that class/job
so even you are a whitemage, unequip job stone and enter, your save lock yourself as conjurer
so, best is become a whitemage then enter to use your full 60-level toolkit
Is monk easy to play at high levels?

It’s pretty fast-paced, but the GCD rotation basically stays the same from 50 to 80
You just get more buttons to press between them
it also gets faster and faster you level up quite literally because it gets permanent GCD speed boost
it's definitely more involved with its rotation but difficulty ultimately falls on if you can remember positionals and adjust accordingly
nah glam its the heavensward relic
go full tenacity
Do I have to care about starting attributes for Squadron members? Or can I just pick whoever I like the look of and then apportion stats how I want later?
I put it into crit though xD
second one
crit and DH
ty
it doesn't matter but crit > dh is usually sa fe bet for whatever class if you happen to use the actual weapon for any reason
You really prolly won’t use it but I found putting it into two stats helped me also keep track of it better
anyone can't connect? it won't even let me go to character selection because of error 2002
should i consider getting aesthete for ishgard restoration?
aesthete pentameld is bis
i have level 80 carpenter
investment huh... so full aesthete? how about the weapon?
relic
with expansion coming soon it might not be worth
oh speaking of relic for DoH, its the skysteel right? i only got the primary, where can i get the secondary?
aethetes will last you 2 months if you get it now
From what I remember, that's from a firewall blocking the game. You can try manually telling it to bypass it
or you can farm a bunch of diadem mats in preparation for the expansion
i disabled the firewall
but this is a "went to sleep and woke up and it was like that" thing
You can try asking in #technology-discussion then
that's non-ffxiv though
oh i get it, so basically just gather them all for now, then craft on endwalker?
get all crafters to 80 and then you get the bis in endwalker
or atleast the crafters you want
They've answered questions in there before. If not, dunno what to tell ya
if you want to save the gil yea
i'll try
but then to craft them i need aesthete no? im using level 70 yellow script equipment atm on all my level 80 crafter
when endwalker comes it will have better gear than aesthetes
so you would be just buying BiS once instead of twice
If im doing potd, do I need to eat ilvl510 food for the most buffs or would a food thats around ilvl150+ be enough?
ok then thanks
What is Enchanted Mug?
It's an upgraded version of your mug ability
Oooooh
Enchanced
it upgrades mug
as opposed to being a magical cup one drinks from for hard mornings
lol
It makes Mug give 40 ninki upon using it
How far do you have to go in POTD to get corpse dancer?
Why am I getting less exp for crafting a HQ item vs NQ?
Did u have more steps in your 2nd craft vs your 1st craft?
same macro
the exp you receive based on the high quality bar
HQ is made at 100%. NQ finishes quality bar at around 20%
in the first synthesis, the macro raise the quality bar lower but it just a chance and you got lucky thus get a HQ
lol who tell you to need 100% HQ bar to get HQ item
what
That 20% would mean 20% to be HQ
that a huge misconception
There's a first time crafting bonus, that might be it
I worded that wrong. In my example above, the HQ was crafted with the bar at 100%. The NQ were finished crafted with the bar at 20%
I've made dozens of these at this point
one more explanation is rest exp
do you see the cresent moon icon just disappear after the first craft
Hmm
bluish/green?
Oh, forgot to mention, the NQ is made with normal mats, HQ ith 4/5 HQ mats, and 1 NQ mat.
That might be it
does using NQ mats increase the difficulty, and so increases exp reward?
I think it's only quality you add that adds to the exp bonus
Ahh, that'd be it. Right on. The 4/5 HQ starts at 42%.
cus i look at the progress recorder, non of them increase quality
42%, chance, but a much larger proportion of the actual quality, right?
yeah
That's what makes sense to me, then
so there you have it, higher quality bar mean higher exp bonus
no, it the same, HQ% raise as quality bar filled, it just that HQ material raise it without any action
But the HQ percentage isn't the same as the Quality bar ####/####.
the first 50% takes like 75% bar
the last 50% only happen in the quarter
yea
you are all agreeing
I concur
right on, that makes sense. ... hmm. Wonder how much I've wasted on HQ mats, when I could've just levelled with NQ 
Honestly at that level
I guess HQ is still good for the first craft bonus
does HQ affect the first craft bonus? I thought that was seperate
I mean I mostly use leves to level, with a few crafts here and there to bridge some gaps.
Oh, I dunno. I guess I've never noticed if the initial craft was higher with HQ. just one of those things I've assumed
Because those are free large exp chunks too
Nah, thanks for reminding me. I need to unlock those. Just got all my DoH up to ~70.
with all HQ material, your quality bar is already half filled so that a real head start
For sure. If the end goal is an HQ item, HQ mats make it ez pz
should i throw away these grade 3 skybuilders?
Sorry to interrupt but I just finished base game realm reborn and want to know if I should continue doing the main story or if I need to do all these blue quests I see that just popped up? I'm not really sure what I should be doing currently or if its okay to continue the story?
just sell them or vendor them if you cant
Continue doing MSQ.
Use this page to decide which of the Blue you want to do: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Progression_and_Level_Locked_Content
Lots of content to unlock with the blues
zeplaHQ has a video on a list of useful blue quest, you can check her out
I was told by a friend whose done everything already to get all the "hard" content but I don't have high enough item level to queue for the ones I found.
you need ironwork ilvl 130
grab the weapon, chest, pant
as for how to farming poetic to buy those gear, you can read this
!faq poetics
Aight thanks
Is any of the realm reborn side content need to be completed for me to get into the next expansion or is it purely based off the main story?
Keep following the MSQ that's in the corner of your screen. Guides you right down the path to Heavensward 🙂
Nothing else is necessary to progress through the story
Gotcha, I was told I had to do the crystal tower alliance raid stuff and the primal hard versions
An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.

So... some of my armor and weapons can't be desynth, but they're unique (lv 50 job class weapons and armor)... Do i just throw them away?
They're not good enough to glamour, but i feel like throwing away a 1-of-a-kind item is kind of a waste, but i need more space
you can rebuy them from the calamity salvager
Oh... cool then, time to toss them away
so its safe to throw away
You do have to do those. That is correct.
what is the optimal rotation to maximize gp usage and quantity? not quality
for normal materials?
you want to use them on nodes with +integrity (attempt)
ok thanks
When crafting, is it better to use Tricks of the Trade when Innovation buff isn't available, or just use Precise Touch?
it depends
Very much a case by case basis
Like, will that 20 CP gain be enough to use on other stuff without breaking the craft?
Will the touch action and 2 IQ stacks let you finish earlier?
Also if it’s an appropriate time to use either without wasting key buffs, like Tricks during Waste Not
Or Precise during Veneration/Name+Brand of the Elements
Or just Tricks in general, because if I have to be very honest, I don’t think I really used Tricks at all from 70-80
While Precise is like a slightly weaker and cheaper Preparatory Touch that uses less durability, which gives it more use
@last mural
I have two chest pieces (tank, warrior.) , one with higher armor rating but the stat bonuses are less, and one with lesser armor rating but higher stat buffs.
Which one should I pick?
Probably the first one, but can you take a screenshot of the items being compared?
how do I compare items?
Right click > compare
Vigil 100%
right
Pre-50 tank gear lists the tank jobs
I don't think I ever used Waste Not. I barely have enough CP at lv 50-60
Crafting is very free form in this game. You have to make the call based on the situation.
From how u said u never used Tricks at 70-80, does that mean u have enough CP that u don't need the additional 20 anymore?
Your CP starts to balloon a good amount past the 60’s
Ah... i see
Part of that, yeah
Is there someplace with a list I can see for tank equipment?
You sit in the 400’s or so past the 60’s
For CP
I'm still around 270 CP, but i'm still using <50 accessories
Oof
creating accessories to transition from 50 to 60 is... expensive... and tiresome...
might it be better to skip the 50-60 altogether, lvl up, then buy higher level equipment?
or do i have to take it one step at a time?
What is the granson(tank role quest in sb) haircut?
I use Tricks at 80 if I get a Good at like… step 2-3. But besides that I never use it.
I tried to look it up on garlandtools, but it doesn't show it
TL;DR: if it lists specific jobs and DOESN’T list “LNC/DRG” then it’s tank armor. Past 50, it will usually be labelled as “Fending” in the name
Kinda looks like one of the PVP hairs
If you look at the Vigil armor it lists all the tanks. That’s the easiest method to tell.
!faq hairstyle
okay, thank you
Once this docs will work
Gamerescape uses this image for this hair, maybe check the hairstylist and see if it’s a default/racial hair?
Looking at the sheet again, it very much looks like the “Styled for Hire” hairstyle from the PVP vendor
Hey, when leveling fisher I could use Manuals for increased EXP. Which ones do I use for CUL? Are they also "gatherers" or is there another for CUL?
gatherer manual is green , crafter manual is yellow of the same icon
So what is a CUL classified as? Crafter?
yes
press C, job tab
switch to DoL/DoH
8 crafter jobs on left side, 3 gatherer jobs on right side
Damn I don't have Crafter Scrips to get manuals. Maybe I can get them with some other currency somewhere?
Check it out, it is slightly different
You can buy weaker ones with GC seals
Custom deliveries are easy scrips.
Oh right, are they level 50 max tho? Thinking I'm soon 50 and might want the 60 oens.
They still work past 50
True, only halved really. Better than nothing!

ummm guys, it seems that i reinstalled my windows and now i need to download ffxiv but of course because the account management on the site is hell itself i cant log in anymore even if i know my square account, is there a way to download the game without loggin in pls?
Also is rowena hairstyle a default one?
yes, default for female Midlander
Cool, thanks
Is there no market board in Mor Dhona?
nope
none of the endgame hubs have marketboards, this ensures that the crowds get spread out
gotta go to the cities sometimes.
Btw, I noticed some Levemetes I can "submit additional items". Does this count as a single allowance?
yes, they're "triple leves"
did devs remove dwarven gathering gear from cristarium npc shops?
so er I'm very close to levelling up to the point if I tried a duty now I would waste time
any suggestions on how to close the gap?
this close
Fly around and discover a portion of a map you haven't fully explored
Just do a fate in the lochs
^ or that
or like 2 sidequests
Have you ranked up to 2nd Lt in your GC?
yeah , I've been giving aay all unnecessary dungeon items
for seals
Wait no my rank is flame sergeant first class
It won't let me rank up it wants me to do a quest
should be a rank up quest from Swift
Is there a site where I can see all the available outfits for a certain class? And maybe see what it looks like on my character
yeah I queued up for it
but was wondering if they had any point besides leveling up
what are topsoils and coke?
!item coke
actually topsoils you can't get with seals nvm
Basically look through the materials buyable by seals and check their histories on the marketboard
rly no one
!faq download
thxxxxxxx
is there a way to 'try on' the non-glamoured item?
as in, the one under the glamour
try it on, then you get the original linked in the chat and try on that
oh, so that's what it's for. good idea
is there a lalafell/goblin community of some sort that helps determine what gathering items sell well currently on the market?
no
follow up question, what does the star on the grand company submissions mean?
HQ gives double reward, just fyi
what's the most common source of cute tabletop decorations for housing?
you'll have to be more specific, there's a lot of tabletop deco's
some are event rewards some are crafted
a lot of the plushies and figures come from all over the place
beast tribes often have plushie versions of themselves
some are gotten from certain content
i keep getting stuffed alphas and other plushies from retainer ventures
interesting
forgive the dumb question but do you have to do the solo floor 1-200 in one session? and if you die do you have to start from 1 again?
another question, can i do something with minions in housing? maybe let them roam it or something like that
if not then it doesnt matter
no, minions will always follow you, and you can only ever have one out at a time
boo.
you can make em fight in lord of verminion, if you really want
you can take breaks every 10 levels but i must be done on 1 save file, without failing
i wanted to place my cute mini zhloe/khloes nearby
can I log out?
To be exact, it must not be a party wipe
yeah, once you've beaten a boss and are able to progress to the next set of floors, you can pause your run there and resume it later
I have reached the cap 300,000 gil. Is there anything I can spend it on?
My highest level character is level 51
does this item always show what you're wearing or is this a coincidence
a coincidence
heh
hey guys i just got my trial and plan to eventually get the real game would it more worth for me to buy End Walker (40$) or Complete Edition (60$) I heard people saying you should just buy end walker is it true?
The new farm thing they’re adding in Endwalker supposedly has something you can do with your minions.
let's hope you don't have to be one of the few lucky homeowners to do that
if you bought starter + endwalker right now, you wouldn't have access to stormblood or shadowbringers until endwalker actually releases
It’s supposed to be a private instanced island.
oh yeah, the island sanctuary
hopefully there will be more details on that in the next live letter
So I should buy Complete Edition + End walker?
if you want to have access to all content, now, yes.
personally, i'd just play with the trial for now and see how far you get
yeah you can comfortably play until like level 40 without feeling any restrictions
Trial will have no access to any other content?
trial has access to hundreds of hours of content
trial goes up to level 60 and you can play all the way through to the end of the first expansion
cat girl yes, bunny girl no
asking for a friend
the only uncomfortable thing about the trial is the restrictions on your inventory space (no retainers), no trading, no market board and 300k gold limit
ok ok tq guys
so I should decided whether i should buy the game once around lv40 to feel no restrict?
depending on your playstyle you might not feel any restrictions until like 50-60
i'd say play for a while and get a feel for it, make sure you're actually enjoying yourself before you drop a bunch of money on it
newbie question,where can i find the opo opo ?
which is dozens of hours at least
hover over it
it will say the zone and general area
north shroud, if you hover over the picture of it, it should give you the general area
if you really cannot find it
search for its name on the wiki
it usually has direct coordinates for mobs
i dont see the peacegarden in the map tho
peacegarden is the entire right side of the north shroud
the map has those coordinates in the top right corner
the coordinates show your mouse cursor position

machinist feels really clunky early on is that normal?
depends on your definition of clunky
are you worried about overheat spam being too fast?
like the rotation seems lackluster just wondering when it gets better
Raigo from the Garo collaboration, no longer obtainable
thanks, found it
all jobs get interesting stuff with levels
OH MY GOD WHY not even mogstation?
but wont it come back like regalia?
you mean it lasted for 2 years?
And it’s third party property so putting the stuff in the cash shop would involve licensing issues
im so sad
and its a pvp mount
and i play pvp
is this what you call the big sad?

does companion chocobo size rely solely on your character's height?
Scales to your race
and it doesn't scale to your height within the race?
Is it worth doing pvp for mount?
Only you can answer that
Damn
PvP is fun enough

Depends on if you really like the mount. I really wanted the airship hoverboard mount from pvp so I got in to it and obtained it.
PVP is super fun
anyone know where to start quest for lv 80 DRG skill ?
at first it's WayTooDank but its fun
I just to collect the mount but idk if it worth doing pvp, is pvp active a lot tho?
there isn't a quest for that
are you tlaking about the frontline mount?
Because 100 wins in frontline is not easy
However, you do have lvl 80 story quest which gets you an exclusive job title
one for each class after hitting 80 and finishing main shb MSQ iirc
star diver
I don’t know about your data center but mine tends to be pretty slow for pvp queues.
yeah you just get it when you hit 80
Oh ya its active . cool.
make sure to finish your role quests though
Probably because it’s only active during nastrond.
That’s why you don’t see it.
because those are basically the equivalent of your job quests for shb, yada yada they said this at the start
ahh ya
check this out: A
and good story
and B
she's not lvl 50
and yet she's getting the bonus
because of the mission affinity??
mission affinity is Au Ra
so recruits who fullfill the mission affinity get their chemistry activated even if it technically shouldn't be active?
it doesn't work when she's not the one activating the affinity
what a bizzare thing
Mission Affinity always activates the chemistry for the listed race/classes and improves them
strange that it basically ignores the prerequisits
That’s intentional
how many books of eternity drop each time?
1 book per clear.
figured as much, thanks!'
is it better to spam the levelling roulette with the xp bonus or the highest lvl dungeon only
is there like a designated alliance that is usually expected to main tank in the duty roulette?
Nah.
There is a pug strat for Cerberus in WoD to make things easier.
A is Adds, B is Belly, C is chains.
But that’s atypical.
ah ok thanks, was just in WoD was one of my first times tanking and the other tanks avoided taking lead on any of the bosses so I ended up tanking em all, thought maybe it was expected.
I rather have that than other tanks fighting me for aggro and turning the boss. 
yea guess thats fair
most of the time if you confidence, you would fight to be the MT
I've only tanked like 2 dungeons so had zero confidence lol
so you can put shadowbringers relic to dresser the moment you got one, right?
ah ok, yea it was JP and I was in B
Only the non-custom stat relics can be put in the dresser
good to know
It’s the best weapon you can get. (At the moment)
I wouldn’t shelve it.
what do you mean?
The ones which non-custom stats
Because later relic stages have the ability to modify the substats
and due to how the dresser works, they disabled the glamour dresser for those replics
Replicas are fine though, but those are unlocked at a later step
do people do previous expansion treasure map dungeon runs?
sometimes
If you make a pf you could probably find some interested people. But most folks run the most current ones for the shiny new glam materials.
but you can put sb relic to dresser when you obtain one isn't it? I saw the item page that dresser icon is lit up
(none replica)
i just wasted a heavensward dungeon by going in by myself, wanted to see if it's possible to do anything there solo. the answer was obvious no
Also you don’t need a full party for maps anyway. 4-6 is more then enough.
Yeah sounds about right.
@slate arrow I still don't understand, what unique stats? like in later upgraded version?
yes, that is what I've been saying
You can select the secondary stats on the end stage relics.
Hello guys. I think that I can't get Regalia this time, how do you think, will they repeat event in future or put it on mog station?
!faq car
Where/How can I buy the Regalia?
To be able to buy the Regalia, you must complete the FFXV collaboration quest series, starting with 'The Man in Black' in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald at x9, y10. After you have completed 'Messenger of the Winds' you'll be able to buy the Regalia, along with his hairstyle and TT card at the Gold Saucer from the Ironworks Vendor at x5, y6. The Regalia costs 200k MGP.
When does the event start and end?
The Collaboration event starts on Monday, September 13 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT), and lasts to Monday, October 18 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
alright, thanks. I'm just interested in the original relic version
You literally have a whole month
You have time.
I got mine in about two to three weeks
It will most likely return in the future, whether as another rerun or on the cash shop
But it might be a long time after
Earning 200k should be really doable by anyone in that time though
I've just moved here from retail WoW, and those fashion reports sometimes require high or mid-lvl gear to get 60k, I won't have time to level fast enough 😦
200k is a few weeks of fashion report alone
it's pretty random
that's what I thought too, but you might get lucky
a lot of the times they only require low level stuff
sometimes its also just trash venndor glamour
There's been a few where you can get a full 80 with like, 1000 gil
isn't this week's like 250 gil
Easy 80 is doable by new players a lot of weeks
Such as this week’s
i see
