*last weeks

[naive ridge]

3 fashion reports and 2 mini cactpots wins are all it takes

[slate arrow]

We don't know this week's yet

[jade quartz]

Ah last

[idle frost]

Thank you guys. Looks like if I ain't doing it in time, I'll still have a chance to get it in future.

[cursive ridge]

just do things at the golden saucer

[slate arrow]

They could also just save it for another rerun

Like with Dragon Quest (X)

[cursive ridge]

completing the weekly challenge log challenges is another easy like 90k

[idle frost]

What level should you be at to complete those logs?

[cursive ridge]

like... 15

[sleek needle]

When you get access to saucer you should be able to do them

[leaden ginkgo]

Since theres eternal bond is there eternal divorce? My friend is regretting the bond but he doesnt see a divorce purchase option

[cursive ridge]

61k for all weekly challenge log challenges

[slate arrow]

Besides chocobos racing that's still a decent chunk from just the challenge log

And you still get rewards so

[cursive ridge]

just have to commit a little bit of time into it every week

[jade quartz]

Just go to the NPC outside the church and turn in your ring

[empty goblet]

newbie question, im planning on buying the complete edition, is my progress on free trial will be deleted? or i keep it?

[jade quartz]

And you’re done

[naive ridge]

you keep it

[jade quartz]

Kept

[empty goblet]

thanks

[proper wharf]

Is it better to get all updates or play till 60 in the free version?

[naive ridge]

get all updates?

expansions?

[proper wharf]

Expansion Pack i mean

yea

[green grail]

up to you, if you want to socialize then buy the base game and pay the subscription, then buy shadowbringers once you get to 60

[naive ridge]

it depends on whether you want to spend money or not

[slate arrow]

!faq buy

[zinc orbit]

How to buy the game

Click here for NA

Click here for EU

Click here for JP

[naive ridge]

free trial is a little bit restricted

[green grail]

but so much content is free that if you're enjoying it alone there's no reason to pay for features you feel you're ok without so far

[proper wharf]

i mean its not that expensive i found a complete edition thats pretty cheap

[naive ridge]

theres no need to pay a sub in free trial

you get 30 days free with a purchase of the game

[empty goblet]

do they also have % sale on the full game?

[slate arrow]

I don't think there's any sale currently

[jade quartz]

But you will also have to begin paying monthly sub

[proper wharf]

better invest here than in wow

[jade quartz]

Then by all means go for it

[proper wharf]

isnt the sub cheaper if you only want to play on one character?

[idle frost]

Am I right that according to MGP guide, I can make about 60k mgp per week doing 5 gates and playing 5 verminion games and doing fashion report just for 10k?

[cursive ridge]

yes

but it is almost always easy to get the full 60k from fashion report

[idle frost]

Sorry for another stupid question: how time consuming is it? Is it about 10 hours per week or maybe 3-4 hours?

[oak ice]

80 points in the fashion report is another 50k

[cursive ridge]

20 minutes

each GATE is about 2-5 minutes long

fashion report is like 10 seconds once you prepare the items

[jade quartz]

Yes

[cursive ridge]

verminion is either afk for 5 minutes a game or win faster

basically it is all very quick

[covert marlin]

which hairstyle is this?

[jade quartz]

Modern aesthetics - modern legend

[umbral nest]

how do you see how many days left u got in ur sub

[covert marlin]

thank you!

[cursive ridge]

on your character login screen

in the bottom right

[umbral nest]

it just says 60 days

the days ive subbed

[cursive ridge]

it should also say how many days you have remaining

[umbral nest]

hmm

thanks

ill see again then

[jade quartz]

If you have a recurring payment then you might need to check Mog Station for when your next payment will be charged

[umbral nest]

its recurring

does that mean that it resubs by itself?

[plain python]

synced-wise, what raid is good for mount farm?

[jade quartz]

yes

recurring means you get charged automatically every 30 days

[umbral nest]

oh okay

[nocturne wyvern]

A4S probably the easiest.

[umbral nest]

thanks

[plain python]

I mean, tank mount farm. Sorry not clear

[nocturne wyvern]

Garuda ex.

[plain python]

Garuda counted?

[umbral nest]

okay now it shows tyvm

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s an easy duty to farm depending on which achievement you’re working on.

There are different tiers of tank mount.

[plain python]

the lv61 one plz. The achivement I mean

[nocturne wyvern]

Solo?

[plain python]

queue synced I mean.

[nocturne wyvern]

Probably omega but I can’t remember if normal mode counts.

[plain python]

it counts I believe

[nocturne wyvern]

O1 normal then. Easiest one I could think of.

Very easy mechanics with plenty of margin for error for mistakes.

[jade quartz]

Lakshmi EX was a popular one last time I heard

or O3 normal

[maiden palm]

best place to farm fates to rank up my chocobo?

[nocturne wyvern]

Momo wants to run synched so I’m wary about ex modes. Even old ones.

[jade quartz]

"synced" and "tank mount farm" are concepts which are kind of at odds with one another

[nocturne wyvern]

I’m inclined to agree but it sounds like their plan is just to queue something easy as a tank to work on the achievement.

Definitely not the most efficient.

[timber condor]

what's the best server to start fresh on as a returning player?

[jade quartz]

doesn't matter

if you're creating a new character then go to Crystal for preferred exp bonus

if you're returning on your old account doesn't matter a single bit

Individual servers basically aren't distinguished from each other any more since datacentres have cross-world play within them

and world visiting

Servers don't really have their own distinct communities

[leaden ginkgo]

i have one weird question.. how far does a fully upgraded relic weapon get you into the next expansion?
like if i do it now on my main job does it last me until the next expansions relic quest gets unlocked or does it get replaced instant by a random drop

same question with the crafter/gatherer relics

[obsidian patio]

Looking at the description, the best thing to spam synced would be dungeons

[nocturne wyvern]

Based on past expansions probably mid 80’s

[obsidian patio]

Halfway through the 80’s for combat, probably to 90 for crafters/gatherers

[nocturne wyvern]

SE so far hasn’t done a hard gear reset in their last 3 expansions. I don’t expect to see that change.

So it’s not likely an endgame raid drop from last xpac is instantly replaced by some white reward from a quest in an intro quest chain.

[jade quartz]

replaced by basic dungeon or crafted gear from MSQ around level X5

so level 85 in Endwalker

Relic weapon isn't an investment for future expansions

just for the one you're currently in.

[grave star]

is there any way to enable settings to save on cloud? cause I got a new pc and none of my settings are saved sadge

[jade quartz]

when a new expansion comes out, old relic becomes pure glamour.

[jade quartz]

There is a setting at character selection to right click > save backup

[grave star]

coolcool

good to know for future :P

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks for the answers guys

[native belfry]

How do I unlock those orange aetheret currents above the classic ones in the travel log?

[graceful apex]

Any easy way to craft 20 hq items for the challenge log? level 30~ carpenter

[timber condor]

how do i find which class is right for me

[errant shadow]

anyone know offhand how high I need to get my retainer ilvl up to to get better rewards at 80?

[honest anvil]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2400 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[errant shadow]

thanks!

I've def been a little overkill then by setting him up with exarchic lol

[honest anvil]

craft sth lv1 lumber

[nocturne wyvern]

Only way to know is to try them all and/or ask questions about what you’re looking for.

[next portal]

is ilvl 510 the highest gear i can buy from the market board now?

[nocturne wyvern]

Far as I know, yes.

After that you need to farm gear.

[next portal]

anything beyond will be needed to traded with tomes or certs at eulmore?

[jade quartz]

yes or dropped from raids

or from Bozja content

[next portal]

im fresh out of msq at 420, lol

[native belfry]

I've finished the MSQ, how come that I don't have those orange aetherites completed?

[nocturne wyvern]

Those are side quest unlocks.

[jade quartz]

hunt for those

quest currents

you're missing four

[next portal]

im fresh out of msq at 420, is it recommended i just buy ilvl 510 gear from market board

[native belfry]

I see, random ones or

[nocturne wyvern]

That is the fastest way to gear up yes.

[cursive ridge]

why doesnt chocobo have a 'stay' command, he facetanks all the boss aoe

[last sapphire]

up to you, buying a full 510 set will be more expensive than getting tomestones and upgrading gear to 520

[jade quartz]

ones with that icon

[nocturne wyvern]

530*

[jade quartz]

all the ones you can find in Coerthas right now should be aether currents

[native belfry]

Oh, there's actually only 4 of them like you said

[last sapphire]

augmented exarchic caps at 520

[native belfry]

Thanks

[nocturne wyvern]

You said getting tomestones and upgrading so I thought you meant 530.

[jade quartz]

one of those quests is a dungeon btw

[last sapphire]

yea there is a set but it requires a bit more grinding to get

[next portal]

sorry wad do i need to farm to trade for 530 gear

[nocturne wyvern]

Tomestones for the gear. The nier 24mans for the upgrade tokens and e12 normal for the weapon token.

[last sapphire]

you need cryptlurker gear which you upgrade for tomestones for augmented cryptlurker

if you want augmented exarchic gear you'll need to do stuff for tomestones of allegory

[next portal]

i see, so all the tomestone are gotten by grinding lvl 80 content

i see, im hard blocked behind the 1st msq dungeon

marketboard cant escape buying 510, haha

[jade quartz]

did you get your level 80 job gear from Grenoldt?

[sullen raptor]

What is the best solo tank

[next portal]

yea its only 430 and dew pieces

few*

[jade quartz]

for unsyncing old content? WAR or PLD

[maiden palm]

where people participate the most in fates cause i wanna rank up my companion and cant find any

[leaden ginkgo]

im leveling my dark knight right now(currently lv42) whats the best way to farm exp?

[jade quartz]

[sullen raptor]

okay whats the best tank for end game content

[jade quartz]

Tanks are balanced.

There is no answer to that question.

[last sapphire]

any tank can do any content, some will have advantages in different content though

[sullen raptor]

k

[last sapphire]

fights that have a lot of movement, paladin would be better due to them not having a requirement to stay in melee range to deal damage

[jade quartz]

not significantly.

[last sapphire]

nah but it's there

dark knight is good against tank busters due to having a massive barrier ability

but really play whatever

[sullen raptor]

guess im making them all then

[warm snow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

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.

[warm snow]

There's a mount for getting all combat jobs to 80

[sage patio]

how do i join a hunt train

[warm snow]

You join a discord or linkshell that shares when they're announced, go to the starting point, find a group and follow the conductor

It's 110% informal shit

[sage patio]

i see

[idle spoke]

Hi everyone, i'm using the standart movement/camera settings but there is a weird thing that is happening sometimes and i don't know if it's possible to "disable" it

[warm snow]

You know it would be easier to help if we knew what said weird thing was

[idle spoke]

so, while i kite when holding the rmb(looking backwards and holding w) my char sometimes randomly turns back

when i attack

is it a normal thing for everyone? or maybe is there a setting to turn it off?

[warm snow]

That's normal

No you can't turn it off

When you attack you face the enemy

[grave star]

Okay so whenever I screenshot the game flashes black for a second and then I have to click into the game again and another black flash happens. Anyone know a fix for that? Got multiple monitors if it has something to do with that

[idle spoke]

the only way to minimize this is jumping for some reason, whenever i keep jumping and moving it happens less

[grave star]

okay putting it to windowed mode seemed to fix it, probably that it tries to screenshot all my screens when I hit prnt screen and it tabs out of the game ig

[idle spoke]

it's really weird

[warm snow]

If your camera controls are tied to what direction you're facing that's how it will vehave

[twilit arch]

you can turn it off

https://i.imgur.com/w732Kbi.png @idle spoke

[idle spoke]

oh thank you but this is even worse after i just tried it

i guess the default is what it is, without this turned on you have to turn away manually

[twilit arch]

generally when i'm trying to move away while attacking either i strife to the side

or hold down both mouse buttons to move

[hardy hatch]

Hello, when i get a new stage in a relic weapon, the old one just gets subbed out, what do i need to do if i want to keep the older stage? can i glamour the old relic and still get the new one?

[twilit arch]

there are replicas you can buy

[nocturne wyvern]

Regana sells glams of old ones

[hardy hatch]

ahh is that a city npc?

[nocturne wyvern]

Ah sorry that’s the shb relic specific one.

[twilit arch]

generally the npc that sells the replicas for each weapon is near the relic quest giver

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s different for each.

[hardy hatch]

ah okay, TY

[primal ermine]

When will the media tour begin?

[nocturne wyvern]

No definite date yet far as I know.

[jade quartz]

Supposed to occur this month in some form

[twilit arch]

sept 18th

since its suppose to be the day after the next PLL

which is 17th

[barren granite]

hi, i hit 80 on my main and still have more MSQ to do, can iswap out to another job to receive the XP or do i need to start the quest in that role ?

[nocturne wyvern]

It has to be the same level as the msq.

[verbal rune]

Live letter is the 18th

[barren granite]

ahh shoot

[twilit arch]

its the 17th for me

[verbal rune]

Might be 17th in some time zones

But we don't know the time yet

[twilit arch]

we

do

Friday, September 17 at 7:00 p.m. (PDT)

[verbal rune]

I asked a while ago

[barren granite]

is the boost to 70 or 80 ?

[twilit arch]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/a6260e181c681aa46fb8ad3366919a8e7b73db9d

[verbal rune]

Ah, cool

[nocturne wyvern]

70

[verbal rune]

Thans for the info

[obtuse marsh]

i just finished shadowbringers msq is there a good guide on how to get gear and what gear i should get for my job ?

[potent lava]

For the Born again Anima step, the thing just has to be in your inv right even when leaving?

[twilit arch]

that's the light stage, yes?

[twilit arch]

there's an image pinned that covers gearing

[sullen raptor]

is there away to tell the diffrence between a trapped chest and not trapped chest in palace of the dead

[nocturne wyvern]

Nope.

[jade quartz]

nope

[sullen raptor]

😦

ty

[potent lava]

its the one right before the light grind

[twilit arch]

Then ye just need it equipped before you leave

[barren granite]

what job is paladin from ?

[obsidian patio]

Gladiator

[barren granite]

Gladiator ?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

I know it’s weird.

[barren granite]

ok so if my GLAD is lv 12, then i can boost a PLD to 70 ?

or do i need to grab anything else prior ?

[nocturne wyvern]

You can.

[barren granite]

quest wise or job wise

[nocturne wyvern]

And no.

[barren granite]

k

hate the boost idea, but hate wasting xp more :p

[regal pawn]

MSQ XP from shadowbringers?

[barren granite]

yes

[regal pawn]

It's not a big deal

[barren granite]

its a mil xp per quest heh

[regal pawn]

After finishing 5.1 you get access to bozja
Which nets you 800k xp from fates in an instance

lol

[barren granite]

oh ok

then your right, its no biggy

[regal pawn]

Shadowbringers is the only one where I'll genuinely just say not to worry about it

Since 71-80 is just bozja rush with pixie tribe

[verbal rune]

I would say

If you have 2 jobs at 70 when starting shb, level them toghetor

[regal pawn]

Yeah

If you have a job that's pretty close then go for it

But boosting a new job just for the purpose of not wasting xp is a bit eh

[barren granite]

i wish i did, i my next job is SAM at 51

ok ya wasnt sure if thjs was prime xp im wasting or not

sounds like not, so not worried on it. thanks

saved me 25.00 🙂

[regal pawn]

[barren granite]

boost is so cringe to me, but can see why some would do it

[regal pawn]

I boosted like 3 jobs

Not a fan of 1-70 leveling

[barren granite]

ya i guess it just a lil bit harder to learn the job w/ tons more skills to use, instead of the drip feed

[regal pawn]

not that bad tbh

Learned PLD and BLM pretty quickly

WHM took some getting used to

[barren granite]

ya plusd when i got SAM its just like it was boosted anyways

to 50

guess i have to get out of the mind set that boosting is equivalent\ to eBaying

[grizzled pine]

how are people skipping the cutscenes before the last boss in dungeons so fast??

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s a setting to skip cutscenes you’ve already seen.

[grizzled pine]

oh, where can I activate that?

[nocturne wyvern]

Character configuration-> General -> right near the top.

[grizzled pine]

ahh oka thank you

[barren granite]

so for tanking is the PLD like the best ? or middle road ?

[nocturne wyvern]

Paladin has it easier to solo a boss if the healer dies.

But all the tanks are fine.

[barren granite]

k

ya id hope it has nice heals

or regen

[umbral dune]

PLD have heal, quite a think as you heal other, you heal yourself as well

but the moment you have to use it, the situation is pretty bad already

[obsidian patio]

Paladin has the best self-healing of the tanks, but lose a good amount of damage doing so

Warrior is a bit weaker in self-healing but loses no damage at all from using it.

[warm snow]

Drk has no actual self sustain and gnb has a regen

Souleater does not constitute self sustain to me

Too weak

[nocturne wyvern]

I main pld and yeah we lose tons of damage if I have to heal. But generally I only heal if the healer dies and I’m soloing a boss. While it may take a while, I will wear it down and kill it eventually.

Long as I can regain mp faster than I need to spend it I’ll never die to any boss.

[warm snow]

I've soloed most of the ShB dungeon bosses as pld at some point

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s a lot of fun.

Yeah, they are very versatile. All tanks are fine.

PLD I mean

[tropic frigate]

anyone else have this problem? i can't send /tells to anyone on another world %99 of the time. i wasnt in a pf/instance or anything either

[patent citrus]

Jump to their server and see if it works

[jade quartz]

happens if they go into an instance

[tropic frigate]

im pretty sure ppl messaging me for pf info weren't in an instance

[jade quartz]

it's jank sometimes

[unreal pagoda]

what classes are recommended for solo PotD

[jade quartz]

MCH or RDM are the top picks

RDM has the damage and the self-healing, MCH has great burst which is what's important for later bosses

both are ranged so you can easily pull mobs into the corridors

[leaden ginkgo]

Nah

[compact pike]

Is it worth doing the leveling duty past the first-of-the-day bonus?

[umbral dune]

No

[jade quartz]

Just kick them. If they reply to you in such a way that it's obvious they're griefing on purpose then you can report for harrassment

[jade quartz]

no

[final fiber]

ty lyon, sounds reasonable

[compact pike]

I'm trying to level AST. What am I supposed to do now, then? Leves?

[umbral dune]

Dungeon

[compact pike]

Oh so whatever level-appropriate dungeon is worth it?

[jade quartz]

yes

[final fiber]

you should have insta dungeon queue, spam highest dungeon you can (avoid level cap dungeons, ending in x0) @compact pike

[jade quartz]

that is the main way to level

[compact pike]

cool. thanks so much

[umbral dune]

Like 2-3 levels lower than your current lvl

[jade quartz]

?

[compact pike]

ARR took so long to get through to unlock AST lol. I hit level 53 on BLM

[fringe plaza]

can someone explain how to potd exp work? like, does the exp you earned there goes to your original character level or...?

[jade quartz]

Select your highest available dungeon, not including dungeons that are level 50 60 or 70

[umbral dune]

For learning, my bad

[jade quartz]

You get a fixed amount of exp for every 10 floor set you clear

the exp you earn inside potd is unrelated

[empty goblet]

how do i change UI to controller settings?

[jade quartz]

open character config and click the big mouse/controller switch button in the top left

[fringe plaza]

@jade quartz fixed exp to your original level?

[jade quartz]

scaled to your real level yes

[fringe plaza]

alright apperciated

[unborn herald]

Anyone here who has had trouble with their account when coming back to FFXIV after a break?

I've sent like 10 tickets the last 2 weeks and the support doesn't answer in support center.

Do we have somone here who is experienced that I can DM and just explain my situation, without giving out any personal information.

[jade quartz]

support will send an email in time

sending more tickets isn't likely to get you seen faster

[unborn herald]

It's normal with 15 (working) days..?

[jade quartz]

often customer support services will just use that as an excuse to put you at the back of the queue again

I wouldn't recommend sharing personal info with anyone

but you can explain your situation here without giving any of that away

[unborn herald]

Hence the "without giving out any personal information."

[sullen raptor]

is there a max mgp per week?

[green grail]

no

[unborn herald]

I bought Final Fantasy on Steam & Shadowbringers in July 2019.
I made the neccessary accounts and I played quite a lot.

I took a break and then wanted to play again a few weeks ago, but my username + password didn't work. I tried recovering my password (With all my emails) but I only got an email (on each email i tried) telling me I don't have anyything registered on that specific email.

So i tried making an new account on my main email-adress just to see if i could or it would tell me i already have an account registered on that email. Which it didn't. So i had a brand new account now also.

So I gave up. Then I figured out i used the wrong password because i remember I saved my username + password in an encrypted file i have. And when i logged in on the launcher it said my account was suspended because of suspicious acitivity.
But the launcher told me to follow and URL to fix it, which is did and it asked me to use my email to recover my password which is did and it worked all of a sudden. Now it told me that I have several accounts registered to this email and asked me if i wanted to LINK them. So I did.

But I still asks me to enter the registration key (both on MOG station and in the launcher) but when I do it, it says it's already registered.

I even tried loging in using my steam account but i have no history there either.

I guess it's only the support center who can help me sorting this out?

[radiant summit]

holy crap that's a wall of text. Yes, just call SE's help line.

[unborn herald]

You can't call them. You can't use the chat. Only email. and they haven't answered me in 15 working days.

[boreal storm]

Did you like buy the game on g2a or another sketch site?

[unborn herald]

Steam

I even pre-ordered it in 2010 but that key is on another dead accounot that i don't have access to lol

[hot eagle]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/566835070452c39abf925d09964c17f1e3b72727 they are rly busy so if you are unlucky it can be rly slow

[unborn herald]

I guess it's no different in EU then

That's where I am

[rich idol]

hello, is there any benefit or difference in what class we choose for our retainer? like level 80 miner vs 80 bard?

[hot eagle]

and like lyon said sending more as 1 ticket can throw you to the end of the que again

[hot eagle]

yeah eu is the same

[boreal storm]

Item pools

[proper wharf]

How can i get from La Noscea where i started to Ul´dah?

[rich idol]

I see, so gatherers should be better right?

[boreal storm]

It depends on what you want

[shut panther]

Continue msq and eventually you'll unlock airship

[patent citrus]

I use a Botanist and a SCH, classes that I play often

[shut panther]

It will be required by the story so it's impossible to miss

[patent citrus]

So gearing the retainer is easy, just throw any previous equipment to them

[rich idol]

I had Bard and Dark Knight I used to play them and I was wondering if I should just switch retainers to Miner/Botanist since I am mostly just crafting now instead of PVE

[gentle arrow]

is tank role beginner friendly I kinda feel like I can screw up because I am sorta leading the group no

[shut panther]

Imo,no.

[unborn herald]

Thank you anyways 🙂 I'll just have to wait

[shut panther]

It's a lot easier to grind out massive amounts of materials for crafting with dol

Combat retainers gather things that require more effort

[shut panther]

You have the easiest rotation and the your mistakes are the most forgiven by game mechanics

[gentle arrow]

ah cool didnt know that

[rich idol]

so a gatherer class will not bring more or better crafting items than a combat class?

[patent citrus]

Make sure tank stance on all the time, pull 1-3 groups depending on the situation, spam your aoe, cycle mitigation 1 by 1 and watch netflix

[gentle arrow]

😄

ty guys gonna stick to my tank then for now

tried this mage but was super complicated

the rota alone

[patent citrus]

If it's story trials and raids, just turn off tank stance if other tank has stance on

[shut panther]

They bring different items entirely. The point I was trying to make is farming Monster drops is kind of a pain in the ass

[umbral dune]

Gatherer bring thing that only bota/miner/fisher can gather, combat job bring thing that you normally kill mobs to get

[shut panther]

Which combat retainers can do in your steed

[rich idol]

I see, alright thank you very much!

[shut panther]

Whereas gathering mass materials yourself.. really isn't a big deal.

tbh, for most of the game tank mistakes are healer problems

fucked up a mechanic? Your healer gets to heal you through vuln

Not using cooldowns correctly? Your healer has to dip into healing more

[proper wharf]

Can u skip the sastasha dungeon quest? nobody wants to play it and i want to progress

[cursive ridge]

any reason why the second wing of heavensward 24man raid takes waaaay longer to get a party for? do most people just not unlock it?

[shut panther]

You can't skip msq dungeons, no

[twilit arch]

no, its required

[patent citrus]

!faq dflanguage

[twilit arch]

just be patient while waiting in queue

kupo is ded

[shut panther]

The heavensward raids get considerably less play in general

[proper wharf]

okay :/

[cursive ridge]

got the first wing queue in 15 minutes as usual, 60 minutes for the second wing so far

[hot eagle]

since you are on light hopefully you have chosen the other languages also in your dutyfinder settings

[shut panther]

If you had a short queue on the first one, it was probably a) lucky b) closer to peak time

[patent citrus]

I needed to login right after reset to finish that questline

After fixing my DF language, even that I still need to wait as a DPS

[umbral dune]

People not reading guide, blind run and it not as easy and forgiving like those ARR raid

[uneven dune]

weeping city tends to have slow queue times yeah

[patent citrus]

But I'm in light

[shut panther]

Yeah people cheese alliance roulette so the hw/SB raid queues can fucking suck

[hot eagle]

not needed for msq, so your best choice is around reset and for bozja ppl spam the first 1 since its faster/easier

[cursive ridge]

first wing was a faceroll of epic proportions

[shut panther]

Despite them being extremely good content

[modest drift]

yo guys!

[patent citrus]

All AR are faceroll

[shut panther]

Because people take the easiest path to rewards

[modest drift]

is there any place i can ask questions about housing itself :P?

some discord dedicated to it or something like that maybe!

[shut panther]

None of the ar are particularly difficult, but the arr ones are the easiest

So people item level cheese to ensure they get crystal tower

[uneven dune]

whichever AR is current content is usually reasonably difficult

[patent citrus]

But in EU is a bit different, even AR roulette during non peak time is a bit tough to get through

[uneven dune]

or at least takes a reasonably long time

[patent citrus]

Much lower population compared to NA/JP

[grizzled pine]

is there anything I can do to improve the absolutely god awful tab targeting system? Sometimes I stand in fron of two enemies and want to target swap and then it fucking targets some random ass mob 50 miles away instead of the other one standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. This is incredibly annoying. Any tips?

[patent citrus]

Like frontline and AR roulette if you are leveling alt, better done during reset or you'll have a rough time

[cursive ridge]

no, tab targeting is atrocious in this game

even after selecting the second option in the options

[patent citrus]

Hmm afaik if you are on kbm, closest means starting from left of your screen

On console somehow I rarely have a problem

It suppose to be the same however

[cursive ridge]

why they can't just steal wow's tab targeting i have no idea

it works so much better there

[grizzled pine]

yeah its so bad Y.Y

[umbral dune]

There are keybind to rotate from farthest to closest and vice versa so tab is one button, you need one or two more to manage it

[heavy wadi]

you get used to it.

[grizzled pine]

this is triggering me so hard lol, also the fact that you cant properly mouse click a target while moving/casting a spell

it always needs like 10 clicks

[cursive ridge]

@grizzled pine select the cone option in the config, it helps a LITTLE bit

[grizzled pine]

wtf is this

@cursive ridge okay thanks

[jade quartz]

makes it so you'll only target enemies in like a 90degree cone in front of your character depending on camera angle

[cursive ridge]

it will still tab target to enemies a long way away from you for some reason

but at least this way catches less garbage

[wheat pulsar]

So I did my first Alliance Tower thing, but still don't have the MQS, how many of these do I have to do before I get back to MQS?

[heavy wadi]

you have to do the entire series

[patent citrus]

All

[cursive ridge]

all 3 wings

[umbral dune]

2 more raids

[heavy wadi]

and then you can do MSQ.

[wheat pulsar]

oh god

ok ty

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s not so bad, the cutscenes take longer than the actual raids.

[umbral dune]

Any dg gonna be that long like Prae?

[wheat pulsar]

yeah i get that, i'm just tryna get to HW lmao

feels rough being sidetracked from MQS

[uneven dune]

nop

[twilit arch]

Well its either stop you now or stop you later

[umbral dune]

That great but i wonder how long people clear it when 2.0 comes out? like 90 mins?

[twilit arch]

as CT is required for later

[uneven dune]

you used to be able to skip the cutscenes

[shut panther]

The cut scenes were skippable at one point

[uneven dune]

and it was always kind of a faceroll tbh

[heavy wadi]

nah

you did have to do actual mechanics on release

just like cape westwind

[cursive ridge]

10 allowance battlecraft levequests - waste of allowances/time?

[jade quartz]

barely

[jade quartz]

total waste of allowances

[umbral dune]

So new player miss the plot up until it not skippable anymore?

[jade quartz]

spend 10x allownaces but only receive approximately 3x exp and rewards

[jade quartz]

yeah it was a big problem

that's why they were made unskippable

players who watched the cutscenes would get left behind and not be able to play at all for the whole dungeon

[patent citrus]

It's nice. Makes getting exp and poetics a chill experience

[shut panther]

What came first, msq roulette or unskippable cutscenes?

[uneven dune]

i think same time right?

[patent citrus]

Should be, or it will feel like a punishment 😂

Cause I won't queue prae/castrum without the roulette ever

[jade quartz]

MSQ roulette was always a thing

[patent citrus]

Unless I need it for MSQ

[jade quartz]

well at least since later ARR

can't remember if it was on launch

[nocturne wyvern]

I stopped doing msq roulette entirely once the unskippable cutscenes became a thing.

[shut panther]

Msq roulette shouldn't exist, but the current system is technically functional.

[patent citrus]

It gave that much reward even with skippable cutscenes?

Op as hell

[jade quartz]

no

[uneven dune]

they definitely buffed rewards once it become unskippable

[shut panther]

Even if the actual experience for everyone involved is kind of very very bad.

[jade quartz]

the reward was increased a lot when it was made unskippable

[frosty badger]

I have a question: why is there a 15-day cooldown on switching between GCs?

[shut panther]

I do hope some time they make 2.0 and 3.0 end on less of a wet fart gameplay wise..

[hot eagle]

probably old leftover from the times your gc matters for frontline/pvp

[opal swan]

Spamming a9s is the best method to farm lights for anima right?

[boreal storm]

Yep

[hot eagle]

yes about 21-24 runs without bonus

[sleek needle]

For the singing clusters, can you do roulettes with any class/weapon?

what is the Kenki bar? I know that consistent combos make it go up, but is there a skill to use a full bar, do i do more damage with a full bar?

I ignored thge pop up tutorial becaues it was mid dungeon run lmao

[boreal storm]

You get kenki from positionals

[warped nest]

!action Hissatsu: Senei

[zinc orbit]

**Hissatsu: Senei** : lvl 72 SAM (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 1,100.

[boreal storm]

Then spend kenki

[nocturne wyvern]

You spend kenki meter on various ogcd moves.

[amber portal]

Hello, guys. could you help me name an emote. I'm looking for this emote but for the life of me I dont know what its called. --- This emote lets you hold this spirit ball thing and sway it side to side? Thanks

[warped nest]

!action Hissatsu: Kaiten

[zinc orbit]

**Hissatsu: Kaiten** : lvl 52 SAM (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

[warped nest]

That's your first skill that cost kenki

[nocturne wyvern]

That’s the Kojin emote.

[warped nest]

You should use that to boost your iaijutsu

[wheat pulsar]

ah ok, so build full bar, use Hissatsu

cool cool

[warped nest]

(only iaijutsu is worth the Kaiten boost)

[lone delta]

Guys a newbie question did playing what race affect how well u play some job?

[shut panther]

When you first gain kenki it's basically just a button you push before your iajutsus

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

[twilit arch]

no

[boreal storm]

Nope

[amber portal]

Thank you! now i can search it online thanks

[warped nest]

Don't need full bar, just need 20 to use kaiten

[twilit arch]

its called ritual prayer, by the by @amber portal

[lone delta]

So I could play Lalafell Warrior without any problem?

[twilit arch]

yes

[boreal storm]

The race stats don’t matter

[nocturne wyvern]

All that matters is your gear.

So pick based on aesthetics.

[warped nest]

The minor difference between race is made up for by stat

The difference is so small that you only need a lucky crit to beat them

[heavy wadi]

racial stats are entirely insignificant.

[lone delta]

ok tq I kinda wanna make a lalafell warrior coz it would be funny as shit

[jade quartz]

race can be considered an entirely cosmetic choice

[midnight crow]

Whats the best world to pick for an english speaking sea player

[warped nest]

@wheat pulsar for more details on kenki, look up for beginner guide made by weskalber on YouTube

[jade quartz]

Tonberry or Kujata on the Elemental datacentre

[midnight crow]

they're both closed

@@

[heavy wadi]

try again at off peak hours

[midnight crow]

huh.

[jade quartz]

You can wait until off-peak hours to try to get in, or you can try any other server on the Elemental datacentre

Tonberry and Kujata are just the main English-speaking hubs

[warped nest]

It is evening now, that's when most players are playing after coming off work

[jade quartz]

but you can do most things cross-server anyway

[warped nest]

Try again in ungodly hours, like 7 hours from now

[midnight crow]

rip no ffxiv tonight then :/

FC RECRUITING: How do you post the option for someone to join the FC?

[nocturne wyvern]

You mean the kunai?

[lavish sierra]

yea, its kinda fugly compared to other jobs imo

It would have been perfect if ninja still had poisons. The green glow is perfect for that.

As is you’re better off using it without the glow.

[lavish sierra]

tru

[empty goblet]

do i need to make party to finish this?

[umbral dune]

the game help you form a party

just wait

[nocturne wyvern]

Just wait, it’s forming the party for you.

You’re a dps so you can expect anywhere from 5-20 minute wait times.

[frosty badger]

Wow.. really

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah. People would swap to the Gc that won the most.

On my data center it was maelstrom for a while.

[sullen raptor]

How does the plus rule work for triple triad cause i googled it and am still confused

[frosty badger]

Never knew until now xD

[worthy atlas]

How do you create the last part of the FC post? The option to "Join"?

[twilit arch]

that's a discord link

[whole wasp]

all existing card that touches side. all numbers add together. if its the same number, flip.

[worthy atlas]

Still new to all this. Thanks.

[sullen raptor]

still confused

[jolly sorrel]

@sullen raptor https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/2wzo9j/triple_triad_same_plus_and_combo_explained_for/ This might help. It has images

[fickle meadow]

what stats do i go into drk relic

[nocturne wyvern]

So both red cards get flipped.

[umbral dune]

you need to play with npc to truly understand it cus the AI maximize this rule

[whole wasp]

putting the red card will make it flip

[frosty badger]

Yeah never understood how TT combos work...

[jolly sorrel]

That link I just sent explains that too

[uneven tangle]

Hi! Is there a guide to what the different verions of the game include? I don't know if it's worth it upgrading from the free trial to a starter version or the full game + dlc's or just stick with free to play.

Also, if i buy the game and get the 30 day subscription, can i return to playing the free trial if i dislike it? (sorry i'm new to MMOs!!)

[umbral dune]

only those card filpped by same/add can do combo

[whole wasp]

then you play rules like,
plus
equal
fallen ace
reverse

and cry

[dense monolith]

Guess I'm a little stupid, lv55 WHM right now and I noticed that I can't do... 3 Abilities. Just continuing MSQ will fix this right?

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

[dense monolith]

I have none,

[umbral dune]

reach HW

[dense monolith]

Ah.

[whole wasp]

you have not reached HW yet then

[umbral dune]

to get more

[dense monolith]

So just MSQ?

[faint flare]

Game told you to get to heavensward

[uneven tangle]

Thanks! Then i have to read up on what i'm missing out on before i commit!

[faint flare]

For more job quests

[whole wasp]

yea, just do MSQ

[jade quartz]

max out crit and det, remainder in speed

[dense monolith]

I got even more ahead of MSQ because I wanted the pretty Ilvl130 armor, just shooting myself in the shoe letsgo!

Is there any way to disable leveling?

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

[dense monolith]

Not really having a fun experience going through MSQ with no effort at all

oh. k thanks

[jolly sorrel]

Being ahead of MSQ doesn't matter, everything important is synced to a relevant level anyway

[nocturne wyvern]

(Also most of the msq quests aren’t that difficult even at minimum level anyway)

[dense monolith]

Another maybe stupid question, there's lv50 dungeons right.. then with ilvl minimum like.. 70? Example wise, can I still use lv51+ Abilities then?

[bitter siren]

Hello, i bought ShadowBringers Collector edition code but i can't find where to redeem it ( I already have Shadowbringers unlocked)

[jolly sorrel]

Nope. Level 50 dungeons limit you to level 50 abilities

[umbral dune]

being ahead of MSQ level make it easier to some field mission but you are actually weaker as lacking skills locked by MSQ progression and job quest

[dense monolith]

Ahh I thought after lv50 they just went ''Well we wont go higher, good luck bro''

good to know thx

[jolly sorrel]

iLvl (item level) and job level are completely unrelated 🙂

[maiden pike]

Is the Coeurlregina fate in dravanian forelands rare?

[jolly sorrel]

Sort of, yes.

[faint flare]

It's a super fate

[jolly sorrel]

It's a set of three FATEs that appear over the course of 24 hours, after which there are a couple days rest I believe.

[dense monolith]

So I finished a series of 40 million quests and I got 3 ''Rowena's tokens'' so I googling where to use this, it was Dravania or something, when I tried to ''go there'' I couldn't go through the gate. Is there a ferry or fly-guy or anything?

https://i.imgur.com/ifxn8Co.png

[maiden pike]

Yeah not sure if I should be shouting it. Peeps are now so I guess so hah

[dense monolith]

Or just continue MSQ?

[green grail]

that one you use in mor dhona

there's different tokens later for different weapons like "rowena's token (esoterics)" or whatever

[dense monolith]

o?

[green grail]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Aelina/Rowena's_Token_Exchange

[umbral dune]

3 poetic ladies, the left one exchange it

[dense monolith]

Ahh that helps. Sorry for my inability to google haha

Well those weapons are trash so I guess it saves me some time

[green grail]

some of them look pretty cool but yeah the ilvl is pretty crap

[umbral dune]

and what about the right one in Mor dhona, she never talk with me more than one screen

[dense monolith]

What's the highest ilvl? Or rather, could someone show me a character with like.. maxed/nearly maxed out gear?

Curious what the HP/Stats would look like

[umbral dune]

lvl 50, average 130

60 270

max is only a thing when you reach 50,60,70,80

[green grail]

at 80 with i530 you have like 120k hp as a dps, 210k-ish as a tank

[dense monolith]

Jesus christ I'm far off

well that's quite motivating at least

ty

[jade quartz]

There is a stat squish coming next expansion mind you

[dense monolith]

I heard that you're good to go until lv60 with the Ironworks (srry if I typed it wrong, the ilvl130gear), what comes after?

I assume I unlock like.. another set of armor I can buy at lv60?

[jade quartz]

Ironworks is good until about level 55 MSQ

then you will start getting upgrades from dungeons and quests

at level 60 you can buy Shire gear, also bought with Poetics, equivalent of Ironworks for level 60

similarly, it's the best until you reach level 65 MSQ

then at 70 there's Scaevan gear which is the same deal

[dense monolith]

Nice, sounds cool. Do I also buy the Shire gear in Noscea, Lower decks?

[jade quartz]

You buy Shire gear in Idyllshire or Ishgard.

[dense monolith]

I didn't find it there, does it unlock w lvl or

Ooo

[heavy wadi]

no, idyllshire, a hw city

[dense monolith]

I need to go to Idyllshire for something else but I completely forgot

I'll remember it though, thanks!

[umbral dune]

reach HW first

[jade quartz]

you reach there at around level 58 MSQ

[dense monolith]

Yeah I finished like.. All/most of my blue quests which took 16-18 hours since lv50 unlocked atleast 50 billion of them

Now I focus on MSQ

blue markers on my map ugly

Sorry one more

https://i.imgur.com/f6Jpqip.png

I got this from MSQ, I assume it's trash?

[jade quartz]

yeah it's a pretty basic crafting mat

[dense monolith]

But it's from MSQ so I always go like ''Should i reallllyyy trash this''

[jade quartz]

check if it's got a good market price

[dense monolith]

Where do I check for market price o:

[jade quartz]

nvm just checked for you, it sells for 2 gil lol

trash it

[dense monolith]

Is there a website for it?

Or quick-access market button xD

[maiden palm]

whats a good place where people usually do fates cause i wanna rank up my chocobo companion

[jade quartz]

You have to actually go to the marketboard or your retainer

[vapid obsidian]

alright. thanks :D

[sonic kelp]

is there a way to skip registration code guys plss, because it seems i could enter in the wrong account...

[jade quartz]

Possibly in HW or SB zones like Lochs/Azim if people are doing relic grinds there. But you should be fine solo

[jade quartz]

no

[vapid obsidian]

You can use the Mogstation and look for your character there before entering a code to be sure

[sonic kelp]

then could help me, like on square enix i can log in with an email account but on the client i can log in with an account from another email, and in that account it ask me for registration code

[sonic kelp]

ok i try it now

[vapid obsidian]

Their many websites and accounts are really confusing

[sonic kelp]

yes i know like wtf why did they didn't changed it alreadyy

[jade quartz]

Kupo bot has functionality that pulls from Universalis market tracker. Universalis is not up-to-date in realtime as it only pulls market data when someone who has ACT with the market plugin installed accesses the market listing for an item. So the prices may not be up-to-date, but they give a decent gauge of what the price is, especially on items that are bought and sold often

you can use the bot functionality like this

That's highly unusual. I see you're on JP servers, do you have JP language matching enabled on your duty finder settings?

do i really have to activate my expansion... like idk i wanted to activate when i reach the second expansion.... why do i need to activate it.? or it wont activate?

[jade quartz]

!faq dflanguages

[zinc orbit]

Why does it constantly take hours for my queue to pop

If you're on the EU or JP servers, it might be prudent to use the ⚙️ to change your duty finder settings to allow more players speaking different languages to be matched with you!

Image URL: https://imgur.com/xIPGDTn.png

[jade quartz]

Yes, you have to register your expansion code to your account. This is non-negotiable

if you haven't reached that expansion yet then of course you don't have to

but you won't be able to play an expansion if it's not registered.

[slim sundial]

I've never changed settings still played raids with all language

[jade quartz]

go into your settings and enable matching with japanese players

shown in the pic above

[sonic kelp]

yo... the code is invalid...?!

[bitter siren]

Hello, i bought ShadowBringers Collector edition code but i can't find where to redeem it ( I already have Shadowbringers unlocked)

aaaa it's not the expansion pack...

[jade quartz]

Shadowbringers not Endwalker

[jade quartz]

You can't do that if you've already registered regular Shadowbringers

[bitter siren]

[jade quartz]

if you want the collectors items there's a digital collector upgrade option inside Mog Station for 20 bucks.

[faint flare]

It's not

[vapid obsidian]

Are you still on free trial? You can defer activating it but you won't get access to retainers and max gil would be 300k. As a casual player I think you would need at least 1 month to finish the free trial (if you don't rush the main scenario)

[jade quartz]

It's not, go into your settings as shown in the image and change it.

You likely matched with JP players who had English enabled in their settings.

[dense monolith]

Wasn't default for me no, just enabled Japan and I'm new ^^

Damn someone didn't give kupo the memo

[karmic kernel]

Thanks

[slim sundial]

I've been to guild done first task but yeah

[nocturne wyvern]

Depends on which mounts you want.

[nocturne wyvern]

You said “start blacksmith” so I thought you meant unlock it.

[jade quartz]

No not at all

[nocturne wyvern]

@dense monolith pvp mounts are soon as you can go in to pvp. Primal horses in arr are when you unlock extreme modes.

[jade quartz]

I’d estimate more players use MKB

[nocturne wyvern]

Then there’s the beast tribe dailies which all reward a mount.

[jade quartz]

Both control schemes are well-supported

[dense monolith]

ty

[viral nebula]

best use for for my first 600 poetics as black mage?

[slim sundial]

I'd rather use kb&m

This.

thanks!

[jade quartz]

Then spend subsequent poetics you get on the rest of the ironworks gear

[final hinge]

is Aether just not accepting free trial characters or are all of aether just not accepting any new characters at all?

[whole wasp]

all of aether is not accepting any new characters, FT or not

[leaden ginkgo]

There’s no diff between paid and trial accounts when it comes to character creation on full realms

[whole wasp]

every server in aether is congested iirc

[final hinge]

So what is the next best DC for raiding

[hard aurora]

casually or hardcore stuff

[viscid fossil]

Is the Nocturne for Heroes the same as last time or different this time? Same car?

[whole wasp]

all DCs are okay for raiding

[final hinge]

Hardcore stuff

[hard aurora]

whatver; doesnt matter

you should know endwalker is around the corner

[whole wasp]

in your case, pick either of the other two DCs good for your ping

crystal or primal

[final hinge]

Ok

[leaden ginkgo]

On that note, I just bought the game this week and my plan is to wait for endwalker instead of buying the current expansion. How much time will it take me to catch up on the MSQ?

[modest igloo]

where are you at?

[leaden ginkgo]

Assuming I maxed out my character when endwalker drops

[final hinge]

Midwest

[umbral dune]

then you need to do all SB and ShB to catch up

[cursive ridge]

how do food buffs work with downscaling? unchanged? just by the fact that they're a %% buff they 'fix' themselves?

[faint flare]

Food works by a percentage of your stats

Which includes stats you'll have when synced

[umbral dune]

% based on how much you have, the max is to avoid lvl 80 job getting more than lvl 50

[faint flare]

You won't cap out the food buff stat with synced stats

[cursive ridge]

there are different %% foods though, i wonder if a lower ilvl food that has a bigger % is better for downscaling?

[maiden palm]

i have to do gyr abania fates for my relic and no1 is doing any and i cant solo them, any suggestions?

[heavy wadi]

make your own pf

or do it via the alliance raids instead.

and you can definitely solo them

[maiden palm]

the fates?

well i dont have a chocobo leveld up ..

[uneven dune]

The 'kill lots of mobs' fates are fairly easy to solo, the 'one big boss' fates are harder especially without a good chocobo

[lone wolf]

You can use relic weapon as glamour right?

[wispy finch]

running haukke as a tank for the first time

do i go left or right first

and how do i know when to use /return already

[umbral dune]

left, the first room

[wispy finch]

oki ty

so i clear left side first

then right side?

or do i clear left use /return then right?

[umbral dune]

yes, right side room after that

when you see skeleton boss, finish him and return

[wispy finch]

oh i see

[vapid obsidian]

Did you buy the standard edition? I think your cap is level 60, the same as trial accounts

[wispy finch]

then i can open up upstairs

then idk how many rooms are in the second floor

[umbral dune]

the important room has a name on them

[wispy finch]

ok ok

[umbral dune]

boss room has a purple glow line right at the bottom of door

[tribal turtle]

Hello there I've met upon the fabled Direct xerror 11000002 and the game won't let me load. I've tried everything including switching to DX9 (It didn't go too well) Has anyone encountenred something similar?

[safe yacht]

hey, just bought the standard game. Just would like to ask when is the first dungeon and raid, and if it's easy to find groups to do then. Currently don't have people that i know to play with.

[faint flare]

The story will take you to the first dungeon at lv15 in the story. Raids are at each level cap 50/60/70/80. Normal mode content like dungeons and normal raids are easily queable, high end raids like extremes, coils and savages aren't and people do them via party finder

[safe yacht]

so when i reach these extreme raids, i will be able to find people with party finder? I was afraid to need a static group to play with

Ty

[faint flare]

Statics are for consistency in savage and ultimates

Old raids are mainly done unsync to face roll it cause there's literally no reason to sync them

[safe yacht]

I see, thanks for the help 😄

[sand glade]

I just got ffxiv the other day and for me I have a real hard to getting "into" games. Would someone be willing to help me get started.

[lethal mist]

Some items say "Desynthesizable: Culinarian" but I don't recall getting a Desynthesis ability. Is this something that comes later?

Fisher has that Aetherial thing

[lethal mist]

Oh thanks!

[desert ravine]

how would i know if a raid wide damage is magic or physical?

[faint flare]

If it looks and sounds magic, Probably is

[dense monolith]

Guess I'm just blind, wasn't there a Storage you could put your stuff in? I thought it was at the Inn but there's only an Armoire here

[faint flare]

Retainers

The summoning bell

[dense monolith]

I haven't hired a Retainer apparently

I don't even know how to hire it or what one is

[faint flare]

Retainer vocates

In main cities

They're your bank primarily

[dense monolith]

Guess I'll go search for one thanks

[jade quartz]

there's no sure-fire way to know, though ACT and FFLogs colour-code them.

Usually if it looks physical it's physical, but this is not true in all cases

Also, usually tankbusters are physical and raidwides are magical, but again this is not true in all cases

so you just kinda have to know.

[desert ravine]

I just want to know how to properly use heart of light as a GNB to help my healers

[jade quartz]

Research and stuff

right

[desert ravine]

okie, yep will check those

[jade quartz]

as a rule of thumb, use it for raidwide damage

most of the time that will be right.

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, I bought the standard edition.

[dense monolith]

R-rough?

[covert marlin]

do you need to be subscribed to participate in the upcoming ffxv event?

[proud willow]

It should be doable on the trial, they haven't said otherwise

[twilit arch]

no reason why it wouldnt be do able on trial

just requires you to be lv50 and complete the main scenario quest "the ultimate weapon" to participate

[dense monolith]

I see that I can have 2 retainers, should I go for 2 or is 1 fine? What's the difference?

[twilit arch]

may as well get both

because one, they're free

and two they both have their own inventories

so more space

[dense monolith]

It says ''Hire'', can't seem to find how much they cost tho..

[twilit arch]

they dont cost anything

you get 2 free

[dense monolith]

I like free

[twilit arch]

I imagine they didnt bother changing that page

since the first time the event ran, it was before the change to the free trial

[covert marlin]

ohh okay thank you!

[wispy finch]

wait i forgot

do i get two jobs quests at lvl 30

[umbral dune]

only arcanist that becomes summoner at 30 then you have an addition option to also become scholar right after that

but that is the only odd case

[high tinsel]

its not progression gated

[lavish sierra]

fastest way to get First Lieutenat in GC? I regret not starting squadroons earlier

[high tinsel]

at 30 ARC you just get two 30 quests

they stack in the UI,even

[umbral dune]

your GC rank right now?

[lavish sierra]

second lieutenant

[umbral dune]

doing command mission to level up members faster

[lavish sierra]

when do I unlock those

[umbral dune]

your squadron rank?

[lavish sierra]

they are level 14

[umbral dune]

do 3 daily training before sending them out on squadron mission

[umbral dune]

you need one to reach lvl 20 to unlock first flag mission, complete it to rank up your squadron (a separate tier compared to GC rank)

[lavish sierra]

got it, will do

thanks 🙂

[umbral dune]

the next flag is level 40 which rank your squadron to 3 and you can do command mission also your GC will be promoted to first lieutenant

[dense monolith]

Seeing that when I reached lv50 I also unlocked things like Blue Mage, Red Mage, Samurai, can I just ignore those and focus on getting my WHM to 80?

Or should I actually become one of the mage classes

[faint flare]

Only if you want to

[dense monolith]

I like WHM, like to heal peeps

Thought maybe I had to upgrade from WHM to something else at a certain level xD

but fully optional, cool cool

[shadow aurora]

Hello, I have a question regarding enmity, any tank willing tohelp?

[spring lintel]

i understand that raigo is no longer available but is there any mount similar/different color similar to it?

[umbral dune]

just ask @shadow aurora

[jade quartz]

ask your question

[jade quartz]

there's Sleipnir on the cash shop

[spring lintel]

yo its the same

[boreal aurora]

i cant find redmage jobquest the next quest i need to do should be this https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Color_of_Her_Hair

but i dont see him in mordhona

[faint flare]

Look under the main scenario tracker top left

[jade quartz]

!faq whynojobquest

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

Image URL: https://imgur.com/IQgUjw7.png

[jade quartz]

reach Stormblood MSQ for that one.

[boreal aurora]

no i finished 5.1 msq

[faint flare]

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

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

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

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

[faint flare]

Then look St this ui

[shadow aurora]

Cool, So I was in a light party before and I was offtanking and the other tank said I should turn off my Iron Will so I dont accidently catch aggro but when I check the party members bar I almost have no emnity, when I try to explain to the tank he said I was using mods witch is a big nono

[boreal aurora]

what

[faint flare]

Your job quests is listed

[shadow aurora]

What is up with that?

[jade quartz]

check your completed quests journal for your last completed rdm quest

[boreal aurora]

stained in scarlet is last completed

[jade quartz]

Other tank was an idiot, don't worry about it lol

[faint flare]

There's only 1 tank in light parties

[jade quartz]

and yeah you mean full party

[boreal aurora]

The Color of Her Hair is next

[shadow aurora]

oh sorruy, I mean 8man

[faint flare]

Off tanks turn their stance in after 30s

Plus you have shirk

To dump it if you're gonna steal it

[jade quartz]

you're sure it's not already underway in your journal?

[shadow aurora]

yea, that is why I thought it was wierd

[jade quartz]

well in normal mode content the offtank can just keep their tank stance off the whole time

usually

But having it on is fine if you're clearly not in danger of taking aggro lead

[boreal aurora]

lmao you right its in my quest log already

i just disabled it to see

[jade quartz]

And the other tank clearly just didn't know about enmity meters and thought you were using ACT

So yeah don't worry about it, other player was incorrect

[shadow aurora]

Yea, you know what bar I mean right? am not using a mod?

[jade quartz]

yeah

[faint flare]

The enmity bar is in game

[shadow aurora]

Ah thanks, I thought i was gonna get banned for a sec but I've never downloaded any mods

[jade quartz]

you're in no danger

[shadow aurora]

Aight, cool. thanks for help. have a good evening!

[cursive ridge]

can player spells miss in this game?

maybe on a high level target?

[faint flare]

Yes

You have lower accuracy vs higher level mobs

[jade quartz]

if the enemy is higher level or if you are affected by a blindness or accuracy down debuff, yes you can miss

[cursive ridge]

i just realised that i've seen a lot of melee abilities miss but not spells

[faint flare]

And if you have a blind debuff

[jade quartz]

spells are the same

[cursive ridge]

okie

[sick bay]

How can i change the size of the POTD UI ?

[quiet acorn]

What is the minimum amount of level required as a fisher to get the fishing mount?

Im ldvel 65

[clever cave]

Right click the top header

[gritty oracle]

Technically no required level, but you'll be hard-pressed to get 10k points without patience 2 and/or double hook, as well as a heavy helping of cordials.

and a high max GP

[lilac nacelle]

Question, what is the next step from daily grand company hand-ins in terms of regular crafting job levelling? I think I heard somwhere there's a faster way, but I'm not sure

[boreal storm]

Leves, Ishgard restoration

[gritty oracle]

There's the Ishgardian Restoration if you've completed 3.3
otherwise, leves

[lilac nacelle]

friend of mine got the mount at fisher level 30, and I didn't at 50, meh

does ishgard restoration give you more XP, or is it just more repeatable?

[gritty oracle]

Friend got lucky. I'm 54 and got to 9k a while back once, that was with triple rainbow methinks

[gritty oracle]

• It grants you XP twice, once when you craft the item and once when you hand it in
• It also grants you sky scrips on hand-in
• It requires less mats, it's like 15 mats per tier for all of the 8 professions, saving inventory space

Also it's a collectable, so it counts towards trade mentor if you care about that

[lilac nacelle]

hmm I only just started collectables in idyllshire 2 days ago, and I didn't do restoration or leves

[real cipher]

Unable to make a chracter because every server is full... T^T
