You can’t make characters on Aether
Aether is permanently closed until further notice
So I just started playing yesterday and only have the free trial atm, I'm currently lvl 37 thaumaturge and haven't seen anything special for becoming a black mage....any ideas?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
question regarding seat of sacrifice extreme, for the quintuple cast mechanic. Will this always be the same order? Or is the order random
Thanks
Random
I did the sylph management quest but didnt get the crystal, maybe cuz I'm on the free trial?
Do msq/job quests
Do your job quests
Random order. You can "cheese" it by turning outwards and staying still until fire, then jumping, or jumping until blizzard and then staying still. Lowers DPS, but it safe.
So does the culinarian questline end at the 70 quest? Do I just do Leves or random shit for 70-80?
The crystalline mean is your job quests for crafters and gathering
in the video guide I am watching, I see people get marked with stuff above their head that I haven't seen anywhere else in the fight.
@faint flare job quests? Sorry I'm hella new but afaik I haven't had any job quest options
The role quest equiliant
so apparently I haven't unlocked Isghardian Restoration yet
Then you're missing skills
So these are not restricted by the "deliveries" stuff? Their own thing?
Ah ok
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
This shows your job quests
Number 2 is your job quests
Drop everything and do them immediately
There's nothing on the tracker tho even if I can accept the next Crystalline mean quest. Oterhwise I'd have looked at that ofc
The means aren't tracked
Ohhhhh so the quest under the big one is the job quest?
im dragoon how can i know which armor i can wear and cant wear
Yes
Go do them immediately
I did the first one, but the second one isn't "tracked" as you said
It will say on the tooltip
The tracking wasn't for you
Ah nvm then 🙂
Ah fuck my job quest is the chocobo 🤣
Wait it helps fight? Fuck yeah 🤣
If you've done 0 job quests you're missing Scathe at least
If you don’t have enough seals for the chocobo item, the next msq provides
When do i get my mount? Im already 27, am i too slow on the main quests?
Yeah I tried to buy the insurance thing but It says i need a "free company" to even buy it?
!faq mounts
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Wrong npc
The PERSONAL quatermaster
Not OIC
Oh shit lmao, should be in the same area yeah?
Damn I feel blind lmao tyty
what is OIC stand for?
Order of Independent Companies
nice, thank for explanation
I have all this gear I don't need. I was told I can turn them in "for seals" at the "Serpant Personnel Officer", but the only options I see are "undertake supply and provisioning missions." "Apply for a promotion", and "Ask about missions and company seals"... I don't see anywhere to actually "turn them in".... what am I doing wrong?
Supply and provision > expert delivery
You need to rank up enough to turn the gear in
oh ok.. when I go to that screen I see it's empty.. how do I know what rank I am and what rank I need?
Oh nevermind it says I need seargant second class
Is it best to find people to queue dailies with or just wait alone

As scholar do I want to use seraph on cd or a major healing cooldown? And if it more beneficial to use it with more fairy gauge or less?
I figured lol
When you use the Fey gauge doesn't matter
Also is that one scholar ability that activates at 50% hp or lower can that be good for a tank buster? I’m trying to learn the class better but haven’t been able to utilize a lot to the full potential
It also actives when it's duration expires
OHHH
So it’s a lot like lifebloom in wow if you know what that is? Minus the hot part
Ok
Do i unlock this via msq?
It's just a delayed 800 pot heal
Namazu beast tribe
hmm how can i accept the mission then?
I’ll figure out more as I play more I’m really liking sch as a healer though and smn as a magic Dps
There's some blue quests you need to do in Yanxia then you can do the namazu chain as a lv60+ crafter/gatherer
!faq contentunlock
wait i have to lvl crafter/gather???
You can just fly up there
Is there any in game etiquette towards petting other characters?
Lalafels are so adorable that I can't help petting them when I come across any in my dungeon runs UwU
can somebody tell me where to level from 70-80?

Outside of that, you can do Bozja for fairly quick 71-80
with a roulette or 2 at 70 to get to 71
The zone I'm in offers quest from level 20-40 do I do them or look for 70s?
What level is your
?
Can anyone recommend a good deck for Durai Memorial? I have all cards. Can't really think atm to come up with my own. It's order/plus.
I dunno I'm new
In your journal the quest with 
Check it's level
If you don't have one, top left, the MSQ tracker
Top left said my little chocobo trying to figure out how to open journal
Press J
pet lalafells as much as possible
And if they don't like it, who cares, they aren't people anyway
They are scattered some are lvl 1 one is 70 the other one is 30 I just wanna learn how to play my class even if I fail I go to the 70 1 ?
Follow the one that has the meteor symbol

As for learning your job, I'm assuming you boosted a job
I recommend looking up WeskAlber on youtube
where's the HW allied beast quest location
He has guides on pretty much every job
Hello guys, at [Trusted] Rep with the Namazu, is it still limited to 3 quests per day? Also, on the next rank will I be able to do 6?
I remember with the Amaljaa i think i was able to do 6 at 2nd tier rep
I won't earn xp doing low level quests I'm guessing , just want to go toward the right direction instead of wasting time learning how to play doing the wrong quests
You will, just at 70 the best way to get xp is
and Roulettes with daily bonuses in the duty finder (U)
are fairly garbage for xp
yes, ARR beast tribes work differently from the expac ones
saaadge. so 3 a day? but will increase as rep rank goes up I hope?
3 a day for expansion tribes
you get 3 extra for the day when you rank up, barring rank 7/8
noted and thanks!
Where would you go to find level 70 mobs
is the xp you get from fates in bozja and zadnor the same?
Yes
Mobs are also really bad for xp 
But Shadowbringers areas
I just want to not 1 shot everything

Follow 
(unless you happen to be leveling blue mage, then mobs are good)
If you level skipped without story skipping then You wasted money
Your level means fuck all
Do the story
Yea I really don't care how you think I should play the game
Bo
that's not an insult
It's literally MANDATORY
Have fun doing endgame content without doing
then
Which locks all endgame content
If you don't care about the story then by all means buy a skip, that's fine
You want to get to lvl 70-80 areas, you need to do 
it's because level just lets you don higher level armor and unlocks new skills for that class, but it doesn't matter for content progression in any way
basically if you want to buy the level skip you must buy the story skip pass thingy too right
No story, no endgame
Not necessarily, but it's not recommended
This is a story based game. You have to do the story to get to endgame
As you end up wasting a crap ton of XP that can be used for a different job if you don't grab another one
where is the quest "when good dragons go bad" located?
its for the hw allied beast tribe
Okay folks, I got a question about the quest "Simply To Dye For". The quest giver Alys is not show the quest as available. And I know I have not already completed it. And I have completed the required quests in Waking Sands. So what am I missing to get this quest to show up?
It's not that I don't care about the story I just feel lost and it's been like a week of me trying learn everything other then the story like I just learned to do daily roulettes today lol
Did you do Color Your World
You literally just follow the main scenario tracker top left
Buying the Story skip also negates the point of buying the level skip since MSQ gives the best exp but i guess there are other ways to level up.
If I need to re lvl a lvl 1 character to learn where everything is and how to get around I will
Story skip doesn't level you up
Did you buy a level boost or a story skip?
I completed all of the required quests in the Waking Sands from that Roe Woman that loves orange juice.
If you're buying a story skip, you HAVE to buy a level boost if you want to access the story, otherwise you have to level a job from 1
^
yea thats what im saying you need both for one to work right
then Simply To Dye For should be in Mor Dhona
And if you just bought a boost you’d have to go through MSQ unless you buy a boost
It's not
if the intention is to skip the entire game and get straight to endgame content, yes
It’s not like wow and can’t skip to the end game right away
!quest Simply to Dye for
I bought a story skip at first thinking there wasn't 2 skips so then I felt pressured into buying the job boost to even things out but I still have no idea where anything important is in the game
If you want to go straight to the content then yeah
is the most important quest line
As it unlocks content, including new areas and endgame
The story was meant to show you around
You can find the tracker in the top left
For just end game follow the thing in the top left hand corner
Okay, I'm heading back to Waking Sands to triple check if I did get everything.
It should be outside, not inside
Just follow the main scenario tracker top left
^
I think
And do the story
define important
like, what's your goal
?
if people dont have some free time buying the story+level skip I guess is a good but missing out on the story kinda kills the experience a bit, yes
Can I do the shadowbringers quest right now ?
Yes
If you skipped the story then you'll be on shadowbringers
It'll show you the quest location
As long as you’re 70 and bought the story skip into shadowbringers
Again just follow the main scenario tracker top left
Lol
This bad boy
so he still has to go through SHB? despite buying the story pass thing?
bless the tracker
Yes
I'm just such a noob idk how to get there I'm gonna try lol I don't think I'm far away
you cannot skip the latest expansion story
If you skipped then you can teleport to the aetherytes
You might be able to teleport to the crystal looking things on the map
Via teleport
Yeah
If you click on the quest, there should be a blue crystal nearby
(again the story was meant to teach you this)
You can click on it to teleport to it
Then zooming to SHB is kinda pointless (Story wise) since its a bit tied to the last 2 expac + ARR no?
Thanks I did that it took me to the zone this quest is in
Yes but some people just don't really care for story
And if you need help finding out how to find quest location you can click on the MSQ tracker or the quests on quest list and find the location that way
everything is tied together
Although the story is pog
ESTINIENNNNN
if you skip the story you kinda throw the whole experience out the window
at least on the narrative side of things
Just don’t do the quinn69 thing
You gotta step into people's boots for a sec
If I don't care about the story, then i don't care about the story
The experience is meaningless to me if i don't care abou tit
I just finished SB, it was not as good as HW i have to admit. I skipped a lot of cutscenes...
SHB > HW > SB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ARR
most people's opinion iirc
BUT
Agreed
stormblood is still really good
And I don’t even thing ARR was bad
the post story of SB is good, im doing it now
Just not my cup of tea
too much political warfare mumbo jumbo
yeye i was answering that other person's question
This is getting a bit more discussion-y for this channel
if you skip to shb and expect to understand anything of the story you're gonna be super confused
I checked my completed quests, I'm an idiot. Looks like I did complete Simply To Dye For. I just don't remember doing it. /facepalm
I'm just impatient I actually wanna do the story but I also wanted to see what everybody did that has been playing for years I will just make new character and do story soon
Like what do ppl do that are Max lvl now ?
The best thing you can do if you wanna do stuff end game with friends play the boost and when you’re caught up on end game make an alt to experience the story
level other jobs, do side content, endgame raids, mount farm
crafting, achievement/title hunting
Oh you basically said that
afk in limsa
Play other games while waiting for endwalker cause I've done everything
endwalker is soon right in a month or 2
I got over half of my guild from wow to swap over and everybody but me and 2 others bought boosts lol
!expansion
Nov 19th
71 days
Nov 19th if you preorder *
I still have to get through the rest of heavenwards XD
and I wanted to lvl all my lifeskills XD
Playing MSQ with road to 70 is rough
Grind end-game activities for glamour
Craft glamour
Loot glamour
Level up alt-jobs for a fancy mount at 80
Do relics (endgame weapons that are grindy and looks cool, people do them for glamour
)
Leveling 5 jobs at once to stay on level
But also progress stuff like Extreme trials and Ultimates
ffxiv has content that remains relevant all throughout, the base game is the only sub par stuff but starting from heavensward expansion the content is very much still enjoyable and rewarding (with skins for armor and weapons, mounts)
Fashion is the true end game
it's not like wow where you just do X latest content and everything else is obsolete
once you feel like you're done with the game, you can just chill and take a break
devs encourage that so you don't burn yourself out
Wow more like not a good game 
You could leave for like 3 months
come back
Game isn't gone anywhere, content still relevant
I like how old dungeons are still challenging
Unless you left during 1.0 
I got keystone master like 7 weeks ago and for this past 7 weeks I've been doing the same thing on a different character for funnsies and every peice of loot you get is irrelevant item lvl so you go into these dungeons already knowing your not doing it for loot smh
guys please, this is not a discussion channel
try to keep it to asking and answering questions
Sorry
My guild and I quit week 4 into raid we were on fatescribe or whatever heroic and I had 1800 IO week 2 and quit
Ope sry
this is obviously my personal opinion, but by skipping the story you're not helping yourself relieving the confusion, if anything you're gonna be even more overwhelmed, the game does a good job to ease you into all its systems over the course of the story (and tens/hundreds of hours) @leaden ginkgo
Hey, I am looking to contribute more to the Consolegameswiki and their Patreon speaks of a discord, does anyone here know witch one they meant ?
like, i think skipping story and level is for experienced players who just care about hardcore raids
I'm going to do these first shadowbringers quest and then hopefully just keep going if I still feel completely lost I start over
thanks
Yeah I boosted blm like an idiot and have no idea how to play it tried guides and it just sits there compared to smn where I can play it by muscle memory now
!faq blmleveling
Do you get a guarantee lvl up on high lvl (currently lvl 77) in Duty Roulette: Leveling?
no
it fills like half a bar
same with pvp daily
okay ty
leveling + pvp daily = level up
i wish it told you the exact amount of exp reward in game
anyone know what the armlet item is with the little bat wings on them?
oh! i think so. thank u!
Only ninja
np
what is stormblood about?
wdym
||Liberating Ala Mhigo|| Stormblood premise spoilers
story like
something about a the one ring
better than HW?
is it japanese stuff?
It does have an eastern side, yes
ok ill skip that
Storm of blood, borne from blood, of our fallen brothers
part of stormblood takes place in japanese inspired places yes
Story is amazing and it has a lot of funny moments 
Also has the best little critters you'll ever see
ya those dudes rock !


if you care about the story in any capacity i'd strongly advise against it
they are so cute. Dish
I dont care about story tbh
Shame
yeah
if you care about gameplay stormblood is where things start to get real interesting
IIRC it will complete all
and required quests
And give flight
even if you don't care about the story i'd play through it just because the story content in terms of gameplay is much more interesting
just skip cutscenes
You’ll miss a really good trial
susanoo had me on the edge of my chair
Like the best one to be a tank for
Is there any way to move my heat gauge it over laps some of my quest in the top right

What's the best Healer? Just purely healing purposes
Or is it ''fairly'' balanced between the healing classes?
no best healer
In Dungeons when there's 2 healers I sometimes see healers that give a shield, seems pretty OP
there are easier and harder healers
Ooo which is easiest/hardest?
easiest is probably whm, hardest is sch
white mage purely heals, scholar is shield focused, astro does both
but there isn't a ''best'' one?
no
astro does both but not for much longer, it’s losing shields in ew
Even though Sch is harder
you want both ideally
all of them are balanced and work fine in any level of content
Nice
!faq meta
This game is actually well balanced
Did square announce something about these phishing mails that are popping up? I got one today.
impossiblu
This is a foreign concept to a lot of our new players
SCHs may require a bit more brainpower in dungeons but that’s about it
go for whatever you like most visually, look up how the abilities and playstyle is, the meta is irrelevant in this game
I'm WHM currently
Tbf they have no way of knowing people decided to do an se impersonation phising scheme
the best class is the one you play well the most
Just wanted to see if it's a useless class or not but happy to hear its balanced
some of us took a peek at this before, it’s not clear if it is a scam or not.
whm is arguably the best healer because it's the easiest
Unless you want to do something specific like unsync old content solo any job will do
there are no useless classes
but again that's a moot point
regardless I wouldn’t click on those links
xmail?
is there a keybind for confirm when selling unwanted gear to vendor? the amount of mouse moving is killing me x.x
Technically there's blue mage which can't participate in content normally but that's because
A) it's basically its own side mode
B) its stupidly broken
I get this one every day men
o
All my messages are either FX or SA
Just use controller lol
you might have to work harder to achieve the same level of performance of whm on scholar and astro, astro especially when you first pick it up, but in the end all of them work great @dense monolith
scholar is good to afk heal
in easy content like dungeons
because you have a fairy companion that auto heals allies on its own
@cunning loom appreciated
What 
ofc in high end content it's not gonna work
whm is the true afk healer
👀👀👀
Please don’t queue for party content if you’re gonna “afk” anything
it's subjective as always
and yeah uhh this
In poopy dungeons I only need Regen but if it's actually a capable dungeon then I'm there like ''pls make the heal on time''
queue for squadrons/trusts
afk as a figure of speech ofc
if you’re relying on your fairy to heal everything with a meh regen then….
you’re not a good sch
it might require less attention for easy content
then again i do be doing Castrum Meridianum while asking and typing here
oop
Is there anyway I can check what the icons mean? Like at your party, I assume mine is green because I'm a healer ofcourse, but what class specifically or do I just view their profile?
wanted to make a screenshot but yknow... cutscenes
each class has a unique icon
Party icons are unique to each job, red = dps, blue = tank, green = healer
Ah understandable yeah
Can I quickly see what class is which icon or do I just learn it eventually
you can check job icons on your character page, go to jobs tab
you’ll learn it eventually.
Youll honestly just learn eventually
I kinda want to have an ''understanding'' of all classes so I can properly know what to expect from them abilities wise but I feel like it'll take 400 years
there's the full list of jobs with their respective icons
Eh only if you have the jobs unlocked, else you only see classes
not really
is the best job in the game
you learn the jobs quick
Neat
especially since the icons are fairly representative of the job
You'll also learn to fear/dread whenever you see a class icon outside of 1-30 dungeons and ifrit
Ohh having a closer look
fair
sike still looks like a Z guess I'm blind
Do higher level Fates give more of that uh.. currency?
Company Seals
you wouldnt farm fates for seals either way
if you rank up to 2nd sergeant rank you can sell dungeon drops for seals
When should I start really worrying about Materia? I just finished ARR
end of shadowbringers
Ahhh I heard something about that.. Does that mean I just do ''Need'' on every piece even if I don't need it?
greed it
Seems a bit greedy idk, maybe someone really needs the piece and I'm just there like ''ehh no''
What's the difference between greed & need?
that's the untold rule
Need beats greed
you can only need job items
No it’s not
need over greed
Oh i always thought ''greed if ur an asshole'' so I always went with Need

but that's good to know
lol
Well yeah being greedy is bad bro idk hahaha
depends
And I sell this at where?
I know where to find the shop, it there?
the shop where you spend company seals *
your GC quartermaster
there is no crazy loot chase in this game ive seen
Yeah the quartermaster guy, cool cool
Personnel officer > supply & provisioning > expert delivery
Not the quartermaster
Is he close to the quartermaster?
Freeway pls 😔
then I can find him xD
they sit next to each other
Gotcha then it'll work out lol
QM you can buy stuff from we/ the points
It say a bonus Tomestone will be rewarded when I was doing a dungeon or raid cause there was someone who haven't done them yet.
Is that based on just 1, or everyone? For example let's say it gives me 100 and there's 4 people who haven't done them. Will it give me 100, or 400 as a bonus? Hope that made sense, lol XD
my bad
at least 1
4 people will still just give 100
should i delete my erroneous message?
Ok. Thank you :D
Dw bout it
Could someone please link me to a guide that shows screenshots and descriptions of all the indicators like the eye and stacking?
!faq marker
Thanks so much!
so i have a unique issue, i dont know what job i want to get to 80 first and its starting to burn me out/ruin my enjoyment of ShB because im still fairly early in the ShB story because of that issue specifically lol
can a lvl80 solo a lvl60 map suggested for 8ppl?
You get synced for the portal
oh
you can solo the miniboss, but not the dungeon 😄
Aetherial Manipulati skill for Black Mage not work on a alliance in raid?
That's weird. Thanks pal, lol XD
I think most similar skills are like that, WHM rescue can only snag party members
group-wide buffs also onl affect the party
Another question. When searching for the dungeon in the duty finder each one tells me how many tomestone it'll give me before I enter.
Is that a completion reward? If so then does each boss give their own tomestone too? So if it say 80 can I might end up getting 300 instead cause each boss also give me tomestone, or will it only give me 80?
Hope that made sense
that's why stuff like NIN's trick attack is kind of nutty in alliances since it affects everyone
yes
that is preciesly correct actually
Uh
No
The tomestone reward shown is the total amount from the dungeon.
You don’t get any more than that.
Ok. Thank you :D
oh, I misread it as the roulette bonus
Does not include the new player bonus reward though i think

Yeah roulette bonus is extra
brain off, I see
This too
Lol XD
What just happen?
Aww i wanted my free discord nitro :,(
some kind of scam posted by a bot for free nitro, got deleted instantly
Ooh, that new for me, thinking i can printscreen before it gone
Not a bot, but more like a worm
Whomever posted that had clicked on another one of those links
And is now spreading it themselves
At some point, do i get a better soul or is this the only one. idk if they give buffs or anything other than SAM abilities
nope, you keep that one forever
can i swap controller triggers with L1/R1 ?
fairs ty
never changes and this is the thing that makes you a samurai
ye, thought maybe when im higher lvl i get a better one to or to upgrade abilities but found out that doesnt exist lol
maybe in the future post endwalker
hopefully. Wouldnt hurt to be stronger lol
like maybe there will be specialization in later expansions
like PAL becomes Oathbreaker or Guardian
yeah
samurai > sword saint
something like that
soul crystals don't really have a good reason to exist already except for scholar and summoner which share the base class
it's mostly there for lore reasons i assume
They'll never do split jobs again
They prefer to do one thing good than two things poorly
I am doing lvl 70 gunbreaker quest and the guy's ability always hits me for 40k, regardless of which cooldowns I pop up
is this intended?
my ilvl is 279 and the duty ilvl is 395
is your gear updated
hahaha
tomestones gear?

Assuming you've completed base Stormblood
Well the level 70 job quest doesn't grant you gear whatsoever so
no gear coffer for gunbreaker at lv70?
nope
shame, the fight seemed otherwise doable
They can't
So yo uhave ARR beast tribes right? Where you can pick 3, 6 or even 9 quests at once depending on your rep level
But why do heavensward beast tribes allow me to pick only 3 regardless of rep level?
hits for 40k but I only have 39k life 
Superbolide?
I assume it's the moment where the other gunbreaker does LB3
I suppose that ability will be used more than once per 6 minutes
because they made it so that the expansion tribe quests scale in exp to the appropriate range
because yeah no that's just a hard HP check my dude
and this is the tradeoff?
yes, 3 a day for expansion tribes is the trade off
plus you get 3 extra for that day upon rank up, barring rank 7/8
yes
What is the most similar mount to the raigo mount thats no longer available?
hi guys, just got to level 50 and want to do the noctis quest. Can the free trial do it or do I need to buy the game first?
yeah uhhh you should have like 4 or 5 times that much hp by that point
Should be fine to do it on free trial, doesn't start til 13th tho
Thanks 🙂
There was a command to get the server ips to check ping, can someone help me with it?

I have a question my character is an archer class can you get more class in one character?
Yes
How many can you get I researched Barb something
bard
1 character can do everything in the game
Oh I see at what level could I be able to unlock to learn classes?
nm I'll research myself
for most of them you can do it right away
it should be a lot of
in the mainc itys
some classes start at 50/60 and require that level
I see
Need to do lv 10 class quest before picking up other classes
The expansion ones require higher lvl
I'm lvl 40 already so I can do it
But all arr ones you can do at lv10+
as long as you did your level 10 class quest, sure
Thanks guys

Is there a way to put difficulty on easy in main story duties before wiping once ?
No
where do you have problems?
what's the website that has class/job stats? (like dps/hps/etc.)
I found it before and lost it
Fflogs
The arc class quest in the boat gave me trouble
Which was because of the changed mechanics not being reflected in the duty :<
How do I set to see target's % hp? Is it a mod or
i do not know
but its not a mod
Character configuration > ui > hud > scroll to the bottom
where on fflogs do I see the class/job comparisons?
Appreciate it 
You look at the parses for each fight
it's fight dependent but here
oh I don't have the parser, I was trying to find the overall to show a friend
got it thanks
look at the 95th percentile if you want an accurate representation of how well classes do when played at their best
What are relic weapons exactly?
Long, grindy weapons that grow stronger and has custom stats ad you do its long chain
I see
That page links to what each expansion's relic requires.
I used to have a link to relic weapon gallery, but seem to have misplaced it
It has to be a massive grind to aquire all of those
and if they're current they end up being the best weapon to have by the end
everything besides current is otherwise for glamour
They're THE time sink of the game
can I glamour pieces that my character cant wear?
yes and it stores the data but it has an explicit warning saying "glamoured but your character cannot display this"
ah got it
I'm considering buying an apartment, but I'm having trouble deciding where I want it.
I know it really comes down to personal aesthetics appeal and teleportation convenience, but as a Dragoon who spends much of his time in Gridania, would it be best to have my apartment there?
Or should I put it somewhere else for travel convenience?
that really depends on your goals
teleporitng to your apartment directly will still cost money so if you have a discount/free teleport on your gridanian aetheryte then it would be cheaper to head to your apartment
but that comes at the cost of navigating the menu to tp there instead
How rare is it to get ahold of dragonskin maps?
For the most part it basically doesn't matter. All facilities are the same.
so really, my take is just put it anywhere where it looks cool, doesn't matter where you hang out because you have to tp to said apartment anyway or face the burden of tping there for hceap
And by that I mean digging them up from lvl 60 nodes...

It shouldn't be too rare
If you go more than like 5 minutes without seeing one you may not have an allowance or rng genuinely hates you
Any strategy or do you just go node to node to node?
I've been trying to use the ability that uncovers hidden items but it never works
Yeah just pick an area that has a few nodes and rotate through them
you can get 1 treasure map per gatehring
how do i unlock Memoria Misera (Extreme)

You need to do the opening questline to Bozja front
The Save the Queen questline
Also I haven't seen a dragonskin map in about an hour of farming Aurum Regis in the cloud map.
ty

Once you reach rank 10 can you just turn in field notes for bozjan coins?
hello! would this be a good place to ask a question about game errors? i've been having an impossible time getting the game to start.
You didn't pick up a wyvernskin did you?
i technically unlocked eureka, but how exactly do i get to it again?
Yes, does it prevent you from finding more maps
Yes you get 1 allowance per 18 hours
Oh
Can you hoard maps or do you only get your allowance after using the current map?
The timer starts after you grab a map, and you can only hold 1 map of each type per inventory
Good to know
best way to farm timeworn artifacts is potd or the raid?
There's an npc at the Pier 1 in Kugane you talk to
15mins for 3
why do people farm clusters in bozja?
Cause there's good stuff in the shop for use and selling
- memories for relic steps if you have the quest active
promise of devotion is tradeable right?
Best quests
Am I supposed to be able to read that haha
Nope
Oh cool
I thought I finished all blue quests but there was this one blue quest which has led me to 8 other blue quests so far
is there a good place in this discord too share recruitment codes?
cruel game
which one?
but yeah some blue quests have long lines
(alliance raids,normal raids, some side stories relic quests mainly)
I have no clue, current one is called ''The Business of Betrothal''
ahhh hildibrand
Gentleman Hero
Hildibrand
It's still english
Taht questline is wildly regarded as the best non-job and non-main story one
as it's just down right hilarious
like i too do most quest marker. but my advise is play as long as you enjoy that quest line and if it becomes boring/too much effort.
jsut stop it and do it later
If you don't enjoy slapstick it might not be your cup of tea
I like doing quests
that's all there is to it, I wouldn't play a game if I don't enjoy it ^^
mmo addiction
It's genuinely just comedy
Well I dont really watch cutscenes
does this matter if I'm only gonna use it for glam
Nope
You should watch them for that questline
I did it at the start since I want to experience the entire game but there's SO. MANY.
hmmm alr
what is the easiest way to get this stuff
crystal sand you can get easily with yellow crafting/gathering scrips
Do I need to complete Labyrinth of the ancients to unlock some other content?
yeah I have none of that
the umbrite, however is just poetics
It actually doesnt have to be a horse: https://youtu.be/ascfjJXDWjo
around 00:20, the way it starts to fly, it resembles more of a bird than a horse. I like the way it's wings look/move, also it's tail that resembles that of a peacock's, idk
Slight spoilers in the footage.
What a beauty.
Find the rest of the FFXIV OST here!

You can purchase Final Fantasy XIV here:

And if you enjoy the music please consider purchasing the original soundtracks from Square:
https://stor...
if you have ANY crafters or gatherers at level 60, you can do custom deliveries for easy yellow scrips
there is a peacock mount, on the store
nope, my highest is like 35
here is a website with all the mounts: https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts
but yeah peacock from shop
other then that no idea
I think i described it wrongly, i don't want a peacock XD I just like raigo's tail and wings movement
i think the next best way would be to farm amber encased vilekin from specific leves
but that's gonna take a lot longer and you're limited on your leve allowance
this is good, as someone who didn't use leves i accumulated 100 leves
which netted me around 22 amber vilekins = 44 crsyatl sand
for like 20-30 minutes of work
Its rng
iirc this is the optimal crystal sand gathering method
You could get 0 vilekin
In general, spam leves to look for treasure chests which drop amber-encased vilekin. 1 x amber can be used to exchange for a sand. Good luck! :D
yeah, and i think i was on the lower end of rng actually
Its not optimal its just an alternative
Its the fastest
Gatherers and crafters way better
Vilekin has the potential to be good if you do it with multiple people
Since not everyone has to reset their leve until the chest appears
Even doing it solo is good
Its alright
But considering it good is 
well, what is a better way to get it then
honestly, if i were you i would power level a crafter or gatherer
no
if you spam leves, it wont take too long
Even oneshotting arr primal isn't the a bad idea
But thats only with an 80 job spamming them for the mats
But its still shittier than dol/doh
honestly worst step of anima weapon
is there anything i can spend my tomestones of poetics and msq lvl 58? i dont need new gearsets but im worried about maxing it soon
unidentified ore if you really have niothing else
honestly, would get unidentified ore, bone and the other stuff in case they ever wanna make an anima weapon
i am in idyllshire rn, where do u get that gear?
What's the best way to make lots of GIL? got 2 ~level 60 crafter jobs, >60 gatherer and 1 level 64 warrior, anything that would be ideal for gil?
Hismesa and bertana
Big centre building
msq
ty!
dunno, MSQ didn't give me a lot of gil feels like, at least not in the amount I need for stuff
like as i was told reaching the high lvls is very improtant too unlcok gil farming emthods
ah
what do you want too buy?XD
mainly the crafting items I need for crafting jobs
i recommend the reparation
don't have that yet
in idylshire
no restorationXD
dont know words
also look up custzom delivery and script gear
both very cheap and important things too do
what do you even gather for scrips
searching for yellow scrips didnt really tell me what to gather for them
collectiables and custom delivery
custom delivery for zhloe doesn't really give you good gil tho
got a dumb question thats fairly opinionated, what are people's favorite relic weapon for pld and drg?
cant decide on which to grind for
scripts are the important thing for the gear
idk I want it for the crystal sand
excalibur for PLD
well, you tell me custom deliveries, they give me scrips, scrips can be turned in for non-marketable gear, that doesn't make me money
why not the aettir or whatever the shb one is?
Where can I find people to farm lights with in a9s? Duty finder queue is taking eternity
because i like it more?XD
what can I do with poetics to not waste them? all my jobs are around lv55, and I either have the best ironworks gear or upgraded some with lv55 dungeon gear. idk what to buy
Party finder
No sane people que for extremes and up content
Especially not for farming purposes
is there a way to zoom out the camera even more?
whats the best class for potd ? ive heard mch is best but others are telling me gnb is
unidentified ore
just get 10 of each unid stuff if you ever wanna make anima
i think you can trade in unidentified ore for soil?
MCH or rdm
okay thanks
Does the 'can't gift sale items right now' also apply to the wedding plans? I was hoping to surprise my RP partner with the platinum package.
But I didn't know if because it's tradeable in-game, if maybe that's a different situation.
i dont know how wedding plans work
but couldnt you use it for yourself?
What's up with the Quest q Convenient Distraction, I've been to all 3 Dark Shadows over and over, MSQ, is it bugged? I've never had any issues with MSQ
Both people need the item. I have a platinum one, my partner was planning on getting a standard one (free) due to currency conversion issues. I would like to gift them the platinum so we both have the goodies, but I'm not sure if the present restriction on gifting sale items prohibits that.
depends on the trial and your lvl
They've all been soloed but for the most part it's just better to pf it
But anything not ravana and Bismark are not advised to solo
as ninja?
Lol no
Nope
No only by tanks
You need self sustain
As mentioned pld and war specifically
gotcha
It's very unlikely to be bugged, I do remember wandering around a bit for that quest
chances are you just haven't found the correct shadow yet
You need to get a gold piece or something
but yeah i would say asking your frineds/guidl/static for a mount farm may be wiser
yeah, and it's not random or anything
I just caught on to the fact you can't find it without the 3 min buff lol
oh yeah, that too
whats the name for the slice is right ost? i cant find it 
@glossy flare I read somewhere you can turn in gear to get company seals from Uldah, but I don't know where. How and what do I do with old gear? Do I just sell them to vendor or ?
Like you can see the Shadows without the Buff but it doesn't line up
Which of ifrit, garuda and titan is easiest on extreme?
If you’re a flame member sure
@grave star Titan is easiest.
Garuda is least annoying.
it's at your GC (so not necessarily uldah) and you need Sergeant 2nd class rank at least
Oh ok
Titan is more punishing
titan is bad if you try too solo it and arent fast enough
How do I see my rank?
Garuda has the least weird mechanics
coolio, thanks

in your character window, not sure which tab from the top of my head tho
@glossy flare
Garuda has less invincibility time
Oh
My armory is getting full
and vendor gives little
Not sure what to do with all this gear.
What else can I do?
Should I keep this one and level it for breeding or recycle? The mother is my own chocobo
How do I increase in rank?
for the next one you need your GC hunting log rank 1 completed
Personnel officer
then that ^
I have this But I can't submit anything or do supply missions
That’s crafter/gatherer
Ok
yeah, the feature you were talking about is called expert delivery
has nothing to do with this
I went the the personal officer and this is what I see (lists are empty)
Third tab
again, your rank is too low to do expert deliveries
Ah as @glossy flare Said, I need seargant second class
you need sergeant second class
Because you don’t have crafters or gatherers
too get that rank jsut focus on the hunting log rank 1 and 2
Ok, so I will do fates until I get ranks?
shoudl give you enough
no, dude 😄
What should I do?
and you need the hunting log compeltion anyways
Do the hunting log already
What is.. .GC hunting log ^^?
press H
Ah ok thanks
and select the tab that is your GC emblem

so for the relic quest, do i have to it for each job or do I get it for all jobs?
each job
alrighty
its a enormous effort too get them for all jobs
FYI: It's a huuuuge grind
and the weapon is obsolete once you get to a new expansion
Ignore ARR’s for now if you’re thinking about it
i compelted ARR yesterday jsutz for the glamour
but yeah ARR relic is probably the worst one.
so yeah lvl 80 relic= current one of the best gear
all other relics = Glamour only
recently got to 80 and unlocked bozja, when farming the shadowbringers relic weapon in bozja. do you have to play as the class for that weapon?
Nope
you only need the quest* active
just looked at how the arr ones look and meh, they cool but kinda meh
fair^^ saves youa ton of time
i really like excalibur thats why i got it
tis nice, might get it later on but with the armors I have access to rn it doesn't even fit
currently rocking this
I swear I'm a paladin, not some evil knight 👀
for crafting collectables, when i am crafting the item how do i set it to be a 'collectable' or does it auto become a collectable?
Is it possible to access the same free trial account on different platforms (ex: Mac and Windows PC)? Or is it locked to the first platform I registered on?
I need some serious direction, where is The Prima Vista Tiring Room? how do I get there?
Trial is 1 device
Oof, alright. Thanks
kugane airship port
Dancer has higher nuance in raids than people make it out to right?
Common consensus is that it is the easiest job, however the meme about dancer being dummy easy is ofc slightly exaggerated
truth is somewhere in the middle 
Bottom line: Give it a try, if it's too boring for you try something else
@slate arrow how do I unlock the quest "The City of Lost Angels"? I need it for relic quest

is whm
is war, etc


questline is fucking funny
