the regalia will be for 200k mgp right?
!faq car
Where/How can I buy the Regalia?
To be able to buy the Regalia, you must complete the FFXV collaboration quest series, starting with 'The Man in Black' in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald at x9, y10. After you have completed 'Messenger of the Winds' you'll be able to buy the Regalia, along with his hairstyle and TT card at the Gold Saucer from the Ironworks Vendor at x5, y6. The Regalia costs 200k MGP.
When does the event start and end?
The Collaboration event starts on Monday, September 13 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT), and lasts to Monday, October 18 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
I assume they might have gotten HW for free eventually, no idea tbh, can they download patch and login?
both standard and the collector gets them? or just the collector edition
yeah thx
Either pre-order gets the pre-order bonus
i see
is there a trick to know which debuffs I can remove as whitemage? I have a hard time trying to figure it out some I can remove some I can't
!faq esuna
How do we raise FC standing with individual GCs? Is it based on the GC of the FC leader? Because I've only been in FCs with standing above neutral in one GC.
hey is there any good collection or so one can view all relic weapons in? for a quick overview on how they all look
there's compilations on youtube
Chapters for your job may be found below or on the video.

why can i not complete "for want of a memory"?
i have 20 of each memory
and have the relic im doing equipped
Pretty sure you can't have the relic equipped
It goes into your inventory after upgrading and you can't be left without a weapon
that's annoying, i don't have anything to swap to lol
Buy some level 1 stick
do we know if the current firmanent zone will simply have housing added or will the quests version of it become a separate instance of it?
restoration of ishgard gets you absurd amount of exp
yeah, that's why It's an easy mode for crafters
you can 80 all doh/dol there without understand anything
<-- victim of taking it for granted
i'm trying not to focus on it too much so i don't miss out on stormblood and shadowbringers doh/dol stuff
Yeah, the lv 65 DoH job quest is quite important
make sure you unlock Stormblood at least
so you can rest easy with the job quests for both doh/dol
!action manipulation
doesn't seem that different from waste not 2
it restores durability on steps you're not using durability actions on
unlike WN2 where steps of the buff are wasted whenever you're not using a durability draining skill
well it's slightly better but you should plan so that you only use durability actions on your waste not2 anyway
in expert crafts you use both of the abilities.
Also it's basically a direct upgrade to master's mend in most scenarios
!action master's mend
8 more CP for 10 more durability
40 vs 30
yeah, master's mend is basically a 6 step version of that manipulation ability
i'm still in the post-heavensward, but i've finished all my doh/dol/combat job quests
Can retainers venture AND sell items at same time - or they stop selling items for the hour of a venture?
yes they can
oh wow
they only stop selling items when you're talking to them
can you redo the relic quest for different job?
after you complete your current relic
at least it says so multiple times when you start one
appreciated
thank you!
one more question: are roulette bonus one-time only? if so, is it still worth it using roulette leveling up?
once a day
if you have the bouncing arrows in rewards then you'll get the big daily bonus and it's worth doing, after that not really
after your daily roulette bonuses it is better to queue for dungeons of your own level instead
since random can get you something very low level like sastasha
just don't queue for 50/60/70 dungeons, they offer less exp than leveling ones
so leveling roulette doesn't limited to low level dungeons or...?
leveling roulette is all non-level cap dungeons you have unlocked
Level roulette is every not level cap dungeon
and 3 base trials
which day of the week do the fashion report guide thingies usually get released?
friday
I have enough mettle to level up, but when I talk to resistance commander nothing happens, what's up?
battlehall is PvP, right?
not necessarily, there's npcs in there too
Q: do i just do main quest and class quest till i finish realm reborn and not worry about gearing?
You probably didn't do the opening quest yet
i mean, main quest gives gears also , so
Just play with 5 npcs inside
pretty much. I usually use mb to update my gear every 5 levels
Also there is a tournament so when you challenge them, 2 match type appear
heya. does anyone know, how long it takes atm to get an answer from the square enix support? my account is currently disabled due to wrong payment informations :<
I heard pvp in TT card is very hard so i just spend 20 matches with npcs for 1.7k point where 1.1k give you platinum card pack
Anyone knows what I should do? Trying to farm light in a9s but no one joins my party/queues take forever
online during peak time
Solo and unsync, btw
Can I pull it off as ast?
You have shire gear equipped?
I’m max level with max lvl gear
Please take note that you need to have the relic equipped when the last boss of the dungeon dies for it to count
The most straightforward is amdapor keep but a bit longer
Hey there, I have a question about trials. Right now I am level 50 and I wonder if I should clear all hard trials that I can unlock or if can I wait with that. I just don't know if rewards for doing so will be of any use later on
Thanks everyone
gives poetics
and add up the roulette pool you queued into
so more chance to score even more poetics
later on you will unlock wondrous trails
Just unlock, clear it once and move on
having more pool = having more chance to score second chance
how does having a console endwalker license only affect me on the windows version of the game? I will not be able to access EW content?
more second chance = more chance to get 3 lines = cosmetics
but what if like for example, I log out in a endwalker area, and then try to log back in?
they gonna teleport me to limsa or some shit?
You aren't allowed to
cant login then
If you have two characters
oh dang
Aighty, thanks 🙂
One in Endwalker area, one in ARR
Just now I farm in Eureka FATE but why sometime I got full drop and sometime only EXP? Been there since start.
Then only the ARR character cam be played, assuming it isn't currently on an Endwalker job
ah shit! i won't even be able to LOG IN despite the region i logged out at or anything?
gold medal = full reward
You don't own the PC license for Endwalker
would need to logout in an area your other system has access to and dont be on a endwalker job
different fate gives different reward
So your PC XIV don't even have Endwalker stuff in it
ye damn, once my charater's accessed anything endwalker, then my pc version without EW will not let me play it
No Endwalker maps, quests, enemies
how the medal works? time taken to kill the mobs?
Contribution made toward the fate completion
Its based off contribution
in JP use auto-translation dictionary
to make sure they understand what you are saying
Oh I see, I just join without party. okk thanks guys
Pls anyone helb me farmin anima light points
use party finder
What rank do I get to start working on my relic weapon in Bozja?
out of nowhere? Is it beacuse Ive been level 80 for some days?
can start immediately
you left once you entered shadow bringer
168h playtime and reached shb
I see
well all my question will be insta redirected to this chat then 😅
ingame chat will be lonely then, time to join an active FC
or level crafter/gatherer to be a mentor like a lot ppl did
Well this chat is intended to help newbies anyway
What's a fast way to level a crafter?
not really a global chat, although there are banters going on sometims
are Fellowships FCs?
Ishgard Restoration
I'm not high enough level for it

I did, However, do some craftiing beast tribe and That helped a lot. But I'm too focused on raider to craft
Not really. They are the community aspect of FCs but without buffs and titles. However it is very interactive with polls and and daily messages
i wanted to strap on a bunny ear circlet and proclaim that i now have 6 ears
it can look a bit odd on miqo'te with certain hairstyles
but alas that would only bring me to 4 it seems
yeah they use bandaid to use human glasses
i wonder what a miqo'te-made pair of glasses would look like
what stat is better for DRG and SAM? Determination or Direct Hit Rate?
dh
does picking secondary stats matter a lot? judging by formulas I've found online their efficiency in terms of dps gain is like within 10% of each other
what context?
choosing what materia to meld for example
It helps
you wouldn't want to meld sps/sks too much on a certain class for example
for most class, crit>dh melding is ok
you can check the balance for the meld priority for your specific job
but yeah, most of the time it's crit>sks to tier>dh>det
does aspected helios and aspected benefic regen stacks?
yes, cause they are buffs with different names
yes
i see, thanks
that's the general rule of thumb, if something has a different name it can be stacked
there doesn't seem to be any diminishing returns for skill speed according to this
https://www.akhmorning.com/allagan-studies/stats/speed/
Yes, but going fast is not always preferable
as going too fast can cause things go go out of alignment
on the contrary, every 101.5 speed shaves off 0.01 of gcd, which gets even better the further you go
there are only a few jobs that want to go as fast as possible
Which fucks up your rotation
Why is it that I can only exchange field notes for lockboxes and not coins at the Historian?
If you go too fast
Do castrum
Can't earn coins until then
I thought I had already. Cest la vie
the actual effective differences between optimal substats and not is actually pretty minimal
!faq substats
The difference between each substat's effect on output is very small. For example, if you had +2000 DET/+0 DH from gear, switching to +0 DET/+2000 DH would be a 0.52% damage gain. At 12,000 DPS, that would take you to 12,062 DPS—a difference you couldn't detect by eyeballing your logs and one that, in most cases, wouldn't shift you even a single percentile point in performance.
In fact, this difference is so small that with the considerable damage variance in the game (+/- 5% RNG, crit/dh rates), we would not even know it exists had we not reverse engineered the exact damage formula!
But what's the point of BIS then!?
Optimizing our damage is desirable, and changing gear or melds is a free and easy way to make minor gains. The idea is simply to highlight that blaming your substat spread is not an alternative to the pursuit of personal growth. It is an excuse that will only serve to hold you back.
Focus on your uptime and rotation instead!
full skill speed melding it is
I'm not sure I'd take it that far xd
Is there any achievement or something similar that allows me to check how many collectibles I collected so far? Asking because I wanna become a crafting mentor
I just found a quest asking me to join the fishermans guild, what is that? Can I be in only one?
it's how you gain the fishing job
you can be in all of the guilds (or more accurately you can be every job)
i want to try healers, and WHM seems too static for my tastes, on the other hand SCH seems mobile but a bit messy with a shitload of mediocre options, what about AST ?
ast feels very cohesive, is very mobile and the most active
noct is a bit silly in terms of how niche it is, but that's even going away in the expansion so
ast gets a weave window on every attack, which is absolutely lit
Ok, so I don't lose arcanist? or I DO lose Arcanist for the time I am a fisherman guild?
basically, your current job is based on the weapon you equip
once you unlock fisher, they'll give you a rod
when you equip that, you're a fisher
when you want to go back to arcanist, you just equip the book again
so any time I find a job or guild.... grab it?
Ok
it's not anything you'll benefit from if you don't actually play the job
Ok, sounds good! thanks
is it a remotly good idea to do the first eden savage encounters in raid finder? Or should I use the party finder
absolutely not
party finder is indeed the play
figured 😅
it will likely never pop from DF and if it does.. you don't want to be in that group.
Skill Speed starts to become a hindrance if you go too high.
maybe he just isn't weaving anything
do ARR beast tribes have a minimum level requirements?
It's not as simple as "oh it increases linearly, that's always a gain"
or don't know the concept of weaving in general and how sks can simply fucked up abc
Skill speed interacts with your rotation in such a way that cooldowns become out-of-sync
also less crit means less limit break contribution
nah it's not so much about weaving
since crit gives LB bar
this is not the case
That it gets better, I mean.
Practically the only job which isn't hindered by stacking too much speed is black mage.
When your skill speed affects your GCD such that cooldowns will not always line up at the correct point in your rotation, increasing the speed starts to become a negative.
It hampers both your job's playability and your dps output.
That's why virtually all jobs have either one or several "desired" skill speed thresholds
which you don't want to go either over or under.
Also 10% is HEAPS
materia doesn't affect damage as much as that lol
that would be insane
it's far less than that, but it's still significant because picking the correct melds is free.
Regarding crit: the reason it's the top stat on most jobs is that it has greater-than-linear growth.
As crit stat affects both crit chance and crit damage.
So the more you stack the stronger it gets, as opposed to other stats which are generally linear
I meant not 10% difference of total damage, but rather 10% difference between incerements of different materia combos you can pick
Yeah that's about right
the difference is minor
but picking the right one is free
and speed is a special case as I mentioned
as it affects your ability to complete a correct rotation without cooldown drift
and in some cases too much speed can also prevent double weaving which is also significant
conversely too little speed can also cause drift, and also prevent fitting enough GCDs under certain buff windows
That's why job gearing guides specify very specific best speed thresholds
So, I’m near the end of A Realm Reborn and come across my first lock out of a dungeon. My item gear is not high enough. Cool, no problem, I go to the shop they recommend and I need poetics, which I can get from a manor of things, but I have 0, so did the poetics just now unlock for me and I’ll start earning them now, or have I done something horribly wrong the past 50 hours I’ve been playing?
I haven't experienced gear lockouts, did you equip all gear that your MSQ and class quests gave you?
You've only just unlocked them
hmm what's your last job quest you've done? @warm valve
castrum need you to finish your lv 50 job quest
cause you also get lv 50 job coffer from it
you use the coffer and equip them, then you will have enough ilvl to queue
I'm just doing the Grand Company ranks for pure enjoyment but are they actually useful if I grind it?
whats with the card?
squadron mission, higher gc cap
Sorry, whats a Squadron Mission?
just marks that it's a rising quest
ahh okay thank you
special quests have special icons
^
seasonal quests all have cute little icons, and then the rising gets BOX ART OF THE GAME as an icon
instant queue
hey I didn't know that
So I’m with dragoon, and I’ve equipped my (very cool and spikes) dragoon gear, it’s mostly my earrings and stuff that is low. I can’t progress further in the dragoon story line until I do some quests in heavensward, I believe? I could totally be wrong though.
as the rising is the anniversary event, of sorts
!faq squadronguide
I suppose you still can't queue in trials with bots?
no
Reaching 2nd Lieutenant rank in your GC is also required for forming an FC or buying housing or apartments.
mission that your squadron do that takes 18h to complete
yeah, only leveling dungeons mostly they are useful for
are you wearing the Drachen gear or the Wyrm's gear?
probably won't ever be able to do trials w/ squadrons/trusts
Hi, how do I add the gathering action macro (the X button in PS controller)?
The Drachen.
same like other actions
you have a Wyrm's gear coffer in your inventory
set to hotbar
far better than the Drachen
don't think you can do that
Welp
I've heard FFXIV started releasing one dungeon per patch in Shadowbringer, but in return it focus more on other stuff. 2 in Heavensward, 2 or 1 in Stormblood, then only 1 in Shadowbringer.
I wanna know what other stuff did they started focusing more on? Can y'all give me like examples?
Sure enough! Thank you for the help guys. Stay safe out there.
So I got gae bolg novus and that's the glam that I want, but will I get anything else if I finish gae bolg all the way?
replicas
so you can put them inside glamour dresser
now you can only glamour them manually
Is flamethrower useful for aoe damage?
Yes
and at the end of zeta quest you can get a kettle furniture
It's better than spread shot
is the relic stuck in my armory chest/inventory forever?
yeah
It ticks every second
It's special
ppl say they get titles?
Do i have to finish ivalice questline for shb?
For Bozja
to unlock bozjan yeah
z? :o
z is the title called
ok that's a pretty fine reason to complete it
im queing it for 70 minutes 
!faq dflanguage
so, how much of the way there is novus? halfway? 40%?
also AR, need to be done during peak time/reset time
So your suppose to be able to play free until level 60? How come when I try to install it doesn't let me?
or you won't be able to get through
Wrong launcher
!faq freetrial
I have a previous character aswell. Level 35
if I'm already halfway there I might as well finish it
I did have a sub and all the exp.
That’s also why
still rough, yeah
not sure how many percent
if you own it you need a sub
You can’t free trial if you’ve ever had a sub
@hot eagle @boreal storm oh that's stupid...
Roughly half but yet to reach the hard stuff
Big difference
@faint flare says free to play until 60....
Trial to 60
Does being the party leader affect your ping or connection ?
A free trial until 60
the 9 books is not considered the hard stuff?
It's a free TRIAL to 60
once you buy, you need to pay.
:o
for me 9 books were the hardest part yeah
K thx.
it's meant to be a teaser, not to let you play the game for free
@patent citrus thank you, i hope it will make difference
yeah tick all 4 languages and done with it forever
Just the story ones
you will still have a bajillion blue quests in mor dhona
I don’t see why it would mess with your Potd progress
is there any way to update the game without active sub?
if I preorder Endwalker on Steam, will I get the trinket?
what should i buy with allegory tomestones to sell on the marketboard?
is collectors worth for the mount, contemplating whether or not i should spend the extra bucks
only you can answer that

It’s just 3 in game items
3 game items for 20 extra bucks.
Minion i dont really care about, mount looks cool af and theres 100% gonna be better looking scythes than the collectors one. So in hindsight is it worth me spending 20 bucks for a mount

yeah I might finish gae bolg once I'm sure i don't want any of the other zodiac relics
wow had worse deals
i believe that, blizzard scam company 
so glad i quit hearthstone years ago and never looked back
what mount is it
6 legs horse
I can give feedback on how cool is the mount in the eyes of a sprout
well it's cosmetics, so they are subjective
no need a feedback 😂
you like it, you 💳
I saw the cerberus mount for the first time and I thought that that guy must have played this game as a full time job for 5 years to get that mount
to disenchant a gear I need lv30 in the crafting class which creates the gear?
that one just need DR savage
what do I get from disenchanting? Is it worth doing every crafting to 30 to just disenchant?
to disenchant stuff from dungeons etc
can just hand in for seals
seals?
If you’re crafting you’re gonna level them anyway so like
do they accept any green dungeon gear?
can hand in green, blue, pink gears for gc seals
that mount looks cool af
eh, i still got time until endwalker drops. By then ill make my decision
and what do I need the seals for? anything nice?
anima mats
so its more worth than disenchanting?
Having 2 options is better than just 1
Most of the time it's easier and if you're an omnicrafter you can never have enough dark matter
what kind of mats do I get?
crystals, demimateria
currently nerw
and other stuffs that needed to craft the items usually
is wait time for DPSes long?
Yes
1-20 mins usually
Not stupid long but noticeably longer than healer or tank
depends on the content
im on Tam Tara
Queues should be shorter soon
how many augmentation materials will i need to upgrade the full set of dragoon level 50 AF armour
Daily reset will be in an hour
what is it for
7 drachen armor augmentation iirc for the full augmented drachen set
does leveling roulette always adjust xp reward, or only on the first run per day ?
is there a /who equivalent command in FFXIV?
like in WoW
where u can search a players name and get some info
do i have to upgrade weapon in anemos to progress thru eureka?
Is threre any point in keeping Materia in my invent?
1-4 are used for zodiac weapon quest
materia 6 is used for lv 70 gears
8 is for lv 80 gear melding
Where do I access firmament again? Already did the introduction to Ishgard Restoration
from foundation aetheryte plaza
Looking for 2 players (Preferably a healer and DPS) on chaos datacentre bored enough to blast through normal Omega unsynched with me for completion.
What's the website with the crafting macros?
!faq teamcraft
It is an all in one crafter website that offers lists, simulator and other features and can be found at: https://ffxivteamcraft.com/
Does being the party leader affect your ping or connection ?
I don't see how
Probably really weird question but here goes:
Did they at some point change the gear rewards from the lvl 70 class quests? From "antiquated" Dragonlancer (ilvl 200) for example, to Dragonlancer (ilvl 210).
Im trying to understand where all the stuff in my inventory comes from and what all the old level cap gear stuff was, and its a fucking mess to get into 😐
sometimes i got this error. Is there way to get rid of it?
afaik can't get the antiquated version anymore
I haven't played during this expansion, so I don't know if you can still wear it or not]
if you want the dragonlancer version, you can get them from centurio seals vendor in forgotten knight(foundation)
how do you get the big one?

DX11 errors, as far as i know, are caused by hardware changes when the game attempts to load something. in practical terms, it's usually triggered by overlays, alt-tabbing, or switching out peripherals like headphones etc.
disable things like discord/steam overlays, limit alt tabbing, and make sure all your peripherals are plugged in tightly, and that should help to get rid of most of them
okay im not there yet, ty!
then you can buy from marketboard
Hi guys
seems like. thanks for sharing your info ^^
https://i.imgur.com/3L6gLTI.png
Just got this from MSQ, I'm not any of those classes nor do I know what they are. I'm a new WHM, do I just sell this for Company Seals or keep it for later?
where can i find materia 1? i need it for quest ._.
Trying to craft Skybuilders Candlebra for Ishgard Restoration - but unable to farm Skybuilders' Hardsilver Ore
Is the only way to get this item through purchasing from Market Board?
yeah, just make sure you are crafting the current grade of ishgardian recipe
marketboard usually
fastest way would probably be buying it from the marketboard
too expensive 
market board is your best bet. if you can't find any for cheap, you can also just equip some lower level gear (10-20) and spiritbond it until you get one
Grade 1 materia?
will people call me out if I have some +40 materia in my gear for savage content?
can i put piety or any other materia on DoH equipment?
not worth it, if it's for zodiac weapon just insert any materia stats you found cheap
guys, whats the difference between starter and standard editions?
can just put in piety/spell speed etc
Any materia, even if it’s useless
and complete editiob
complete edition includes all expansion and started edition
standard edition?
starter is free trial with no restriction
o yeah we have skill speed stat, ok thanks
starter edition is just free trial with gil/social restriction lifted
Hey everyone, I just got my first mount, but it always says I cannot summer here when I try. What am I doing wrong?
You’re in town
mounts can generally only be summoned in outdoor areas, outside of major cities
can't ride in the city
!faq buy
I tried outside cities too
Did you use the whistle, thus unlocking your chocobo?
thanks for this
Maybe thats it
use whistle, type /mountguide and drag your companion chocobo to your hotbar
Yup! Thank you!
This was the problem.
Hmm. MSQ keeps giving me item rewards for classes I've never heard of.. Can I ignore it?
ranged magical dps
That hat is for caster dps
Did you not look at any other classes
you can get rid of it.
But it isn't Red, meaning I can wear it? It's not green either 
Like at all
You cannot wear it.
It’s not WHM
if I read it correctly, when EW comes, will SB and SBR becomes free?
then select the correct gear for your class as quest reward
Yeah but then why is it Red was my question, usually it shows clearly red like ''You cant wear this bro''
same quest should also have had a daystar option
Ohh I didn't select anything yet, just cropped an image
Could anyone tell me what this is? I think I hit a key on my keyboard by accident then the camera changed to this. After leaving the dialogue and reinitiating it, it went back to normal.
what is the chocobo guide/
Cause you have a job that can equip it
Because it’s not in your inventory yet
what is the chocobo guide?
character > mount guide
quest i mean
!quest my little chocobo
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.
!quest My Little Chocobo
read the faq
id go for the hat one, looks cool on magical dps characters
They are a healer 😔
It's not like I need the other ones either since I got the Ironworks ilvl130
Then grab the cash
then get whatever and turn it in for gc seals
I'm new with Glamour, can I somehow put that Hat, on my head 
or get the coins yeah
Yeah I grab the item then turn into GC Seals
not on a class that couldn't ordinarily equip it.
@dense monolith this how the glamour of the full set looks
Ahh so I can't yoink the cosmetic from it, sad noises
yeah its just a glamour for magical dps
You can use a caster dps cough cough
B-but if I ever want to look pretty shouldn't I save all the armor/stuff that looks cool for later?
No
You can just rebuy/obtain it
it doesnt "consume" it
okok
its still there
Didnt know, ty xD
btw, if you think youll run out of glamour prisms. Youll get a shit ton from grand company store @dense monolith
thats if youve been greeding and needing loot from dungeons this whole time
Yeah I found out recently about selling it for gc seals
ye
very cool
When i try to cut a lvl 50 tree and got a time worn map, can i gnore and cut other trees for another time worn map or is my map chance is used up?
Yes
One map every 18 hours
No
you can ignore and try again
doesn't reset timer until you grab the map from the node
oh cool

is "Peacelover's Attire" from the firmament fetes some kind of a reference?
looks a bit meh
not even sure i want to use the coffer i got, seems like a waste of slots
can sell
i checked, it's like 8k
better than 1 gil
and probably doesn't sell very often
check market history
when feeding chocobo for training, is there a best food?
i believe they all give the same exp, but the one you spam feed him will eventually become their 'favorite food'
oh wow interesting
is there a faster way to level up chocobos other than training?
i was told after a certain point, training becomes the fastest way
i'm still only at level 8 so combat still gives me way more xp
what should i be using my white gatherer scrips on have got all gear and main/offhands
is the chaos DC down? i was booted off and couldn't log back in since
i'm on right now
You on trial?
yeah
So each food gives a chocobo a buff and if it’s the birds favorite food the buff is enhanced further.
thank you
i just spent like 10 minutes trying to find actual values of how much these buffs improve your chocobo, but there's no data i can see on that
Each hourly training gives the bird about ~1% of the exp it needs to reach the next rank and it scales. Completing the 2 weekly challenges gives it ~15% of the exp it needs to reach the next rank and it scales.
it's just "Up" and "Up II"
there's a weekly challenge for chocobos?
Yessir.
Kill a bunch of dudes and then kill more dudes.
did they switch it to subscribers only?
huh I don't see it
From July 20
oooh okay thanks guys!
Trials can't log in when there's a big que
Small ques are fine
Ques over 100 or so gets you kicked
usually small ques are fine but not always
sad
Ok, I have a question I want to make sure of what I am doing before I press any buttons that are costly
I have a lv 80 botanist retainer
That I want to change to a Dancer
Resets to lv1
Need to level up any of the combat classes to 60 then swap it to dancer

Can we assume BLU to get buffed to 80 for EW?
Fastest method that I've found (if you're 80) is to take your Chocobo to the tempest, Feed it a Curiel Root (for XP buff, if it's their favorite food you get a 15% bonus) and either find a mob-dense area or grind out fates that have you kill lots of regular mobs. Best is the pearl collecting FATE in the far right of the map. Fast respawn in one spot allowing you to grab them easily and because it's an item turn in you can (potentially) run it through the entire time limit. Only issue is if people want to get a quick turnaround on it. At a minimum I get over 300k XP per cycle with no interruptions.
Probably
Hey, I've got another question. I seem to be getting "Materia" regularly around level that I am at (50). I know that they are equivalent of sockets that I put in gear altough I can't seem to find an option to use them. Do I need to speak to some sort of npc/have profession/matching gear piece? I know that it's probably as noob question as it gets but I played pmuch only wow for last 7 years :p
yes, unlock melding
or go to a melding npc
or asking materia npc to do it for you
either players with a crafter high enough or a materia melder in cities/hubs can do it for you. Crafters are needed for overmelding though.
You can ignore melding at low levels though.
Okay, that should do. Thanks 🙂
Materia doesn't even work when you're level synched. T.T
Is there any consistent poetics grind when there's no more leveling involved? I feel like now that I've got nothing to level my poetics dropped like a rock and I want more HW relic weapons.
Yeah, you're going to be switching gear as you level fast enough where melding isn't worth the cost/effort.
Roulettes, Aetherchemical Research Facility, and Praetoreum/Castrum is your best bet.
I wish they'd add a downgrade system in currency. I'd love to turn my allegory into poetics.
That comes when Endwalker releases.
I joined Hunt, S-Rank, Eureka, Blue Mage, AR/MSQ/50/60/70 Roulette
cost? i just meld in the stuff i get from spiritbonding
and then reuse it in later gear
those gives plenty of poetics
lvling roullete said bonus for tanks so i applied as tank but now it changed to bonus for healer i should get my bonus as tank tho right?
no need, It's still tank
if you queued when it said bonus for tank, then you're good
as long as you are still in the queue
kk
If you don't have a crafter capable of doing it it can get expensive going to a melder.
Hello ! I'm a new player that just finished ARR and I'm really into the story of the game, I saw a lot of veterans recommending to do Coils of Bahamut before moving to Heavensward so that's what I'm trying to do ! Could a kind soul carry me through unsynch ?
Make/join a PF
what if ur free trial

The general info still applies, just replace Tempest with Azys Lla. Don't know what the absolute best FATE is but it's the same principal. It's just going to level a fair bit slower.
ight
I couldn't see if anyone had corrected this when scrolling by, but this is false. Critical health healing is healing people < 10%. Crits do not affect LB generation at all
^
first time doing Diadem, how do I leave?
I see, good to know. I got my info from https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Limit_Break
Resources by Allagan Studies
Limit Break Explained
Shadowbringers Limit Break Video
https://www.akhmorning.com/allagan-studies/limit-break/ better resource on all things LB
Aka one of the links in that faq I made lol
when are the combat system updates going to be announced again? The 11th or the 18th or something?
18th
ty
eus?
Yes, the EUs
ah, k
I'd say yes if I didn't have a million other things to do by Early Access release and the media tour/pll info
There's so much changing
If they were truthful about only variables changing and constants remaining the same, then the substat tables will be updated before the servers are up come EW release
Everything else though 
If LB changes it'll be easy enough to figure out the generation. We won't be able to figure out the damage side in time before Endwalker, but at least with damage shrinking to around a fifth, it makes everything more manageable to work with
Biggest thing to look forward to is how jobs are changing and preparing to rewrite how to SMN 3+ times for the expansion
do I need a 120 umbrite to be able to complete this step?
80 at max
60 at least
60?
60-80 umbrite for that step
all Im excited for for damage nerf is seeing BLU hit SSS tier because 1000 needles becomes that much stronger
runs
but dont you create 2 of the stuff for every 1 crystal sand and 1 umbrite
just farm at least 60 of each then use all of them
You’ll see what happens
Alright
1 crystal + umbrite generate 3 treated sands but somehow from the 41th time you do it, you can gain 1-3 addition
so minimum is 60 as 40x3 + 20x6 = 240
Is Stormblood's story worse than the other expansions? I was looking at the best selling in the online store, and I found it curious that the Stormblood story skip was in there.
all 3 expansions are there
there will always be story skip for those who want so skip old content
Base Game, HW, SB
Story skips are for all expansions. It is a subjective matter.
not only SB
soon ShB
IMO yea SB story was pretty meh
wont spoil anything but it just felt very..unfocused

It's the best selling cause it gets to the current expansion
So ofc if people skip it's gonna be that one
Skips you straight to the start of Shadowbringers
I have stuff i don't know what to do from Diadem. I already approved all the items I got, but what are they for other than taking up inventory space?
did it happen to have grade 2 or 3 in name?
Peeps like me use as crafting mats for ishgard restoration
but honestly most of them are so cheap its not even worth selling. Crafters DO use them in massive quantity though
They're all Grade 4. I recently started diadem at low levels.
If mats didn't get approved then you didn't have a stack of 5
They only approve mats in multiples of 5
So I have this problem where when raiding, I look at my hotbar too much and forget to see what the boss is doing.
Now after practicing more and getting more familiar with the fights,
I can now look at my hotbar and know what the boss is doing without looking at it...
I’m not sure if this is a problematic play style...
that is very bad playstyle
could be bad HuD. I have a bad habit of this too at times
Yeah, I tried playing around with it before.
I think it might be because my hotbars are too small
cus you need to look at boss and any random aoe rather than your hud
You want to get in the habit of staring at boss and glancing at your hotbar. rather than the other way around. especially in ShB
I have 6 bars at the bottom of the screen
woah
condense it
Yeah, now my play style is, just peek at the boss, oh cool it’s spread then stack, that’s all I need to know
well ideal is you raid savage while playing gacha
tbh in the opening section of e12s I don’t even need to look at the boss lol
if you are a dps, probably not that serious but if that a healer than a big problem
I just fought Diablo Armament for the first time, but most attacks took me more than 60% HP, while others DPS less than 20%, is that only because they had essences , or is there other reason? Distance from boss made the attacks lighter?
Yeah as healer I focus more on party menu
Yes
if youre in E12S you either are really lucky or youre doing fine
Essenses are very good
also yes healer stares at party bar and boss
Im catching up on raid content that I've missed. Should I be looking up a guide before hand? or go in blind?
Yeah I guess in practice I’m doing fine

as a dps player with pocket tank it really throws me off
It’s just that, I even have a small hotbar on the side of my screen to show my CDs
But I barely look at it lol
if it's savage/ex can look up for a guide unless you join a pratice pf that says "blind"
between all the 50+ essences , are there 1 or 2 that are the best for taking less damage in that fight? I use controller and I don't have much free space in hotbar
In Normal it’s just recommended to not look a guide
non-savage raids are generally fairly easy now, and even the ones that aren't usually have easily comprehensible mechanics even if it's your first time
Normal as in, all content called “normal” “hard”, or no name
you can look up a guide if you want but it's not necessary
I’m still salty about the final boss of SB using a knock back in less than 60s after the fight starts
big cooldowns in center. gcds and lesser cooldowns on right
that way you get all your major cooldowns in your face and you can focus on boss. looking at your character also clues you on AoEs AND major cooldowns
I see, I put the big CD and memory stuff on the right side of my screen. With the job stuff
People should just be using DPS essences (beast is fine for dps) really but there are defensive essenses that aren't worth using at all (veteran, Platebearer, guardian)
You can hover over buffs to see what essences and actions they're using
iinteresting setup mines kinda wonky UI wise
You don't really ever change essences
They can also have the HP mettle buff up from honors
@hard aurora @glossy flare @jovial quarry You guys here? I saw a video on someone record DPS on a target dummy and the DPS were the same in their ACS but one killed the target faster than the other (more time left). Exact same target dummy. Could you explain that?
yeah, but if 6 people from the party were surviving getting close to no damage, I think for that fight it'd be good to use defensive essences too
ah, I'm considering the same the essences and the actions that have 2 slots, it'd be optimal to have offense stuff in both?
As long as you're not 0 hp from n aoe you're fine
yeah, I know, but raidwide attacks get me almost killed, and the next attack always does it
People using defensive essenses are stupid
And slowing shit down
Thus making there be more raid wides
And more mechanics
the 2 actions to put in slots, should be offensive too?
The best mitigation is more dps?
get beast then 😂
Yes
assuming you don't have a healer in your party
DPS is king
Can’t kill you if they’re dead
Anything that doesn't increase your dps is a worthless slot
They might have been using a Stone Sky Sea dummy. In which case, different roles have different dummies for some reason.
being only 2 slots, which are the actions that I should have there?
Generic damage up stuff
Fonts, banners, Seraph strike, Chainspells etc
Assassination if using Beast is fine
I feel like if I use too many actions or essences, thay'll run out very fast and I'll need to farm from 10+ hours to get some again, am I wrong?
What is Beast?
Lol no
Essenses of the beast
what do u do with ur handsaint gear after u pentameld aesthetes? can u turn it in for GC seals
Actions are piss easy to farm
Only the castrum ones are slight pains in the ass cause it's only 6 per run
I see
And people need to do prisoners
Yes they were using Stone Sky sea dummy, I looked at the Duty name and it was the same, but I guess different dummies then.
I was sure essences had effects for less than 1 min mostly, or is that only for actions that had 10 uses each?
Essenses are permanent
Essences last for the entire duration of an instancr
@jovial quarry If I do hunting log for my grand company, do I get XP?
No
And I can use as many essences I want at the same time, as long as I carry them with me, right?
No
Take one in bozja or Zadnor they'll last until you leave, get kicked for the 3 hour timer or change jobs
GC hunt logs don’t give exp. just seals.
Why is this quest requiring Samurai?
It’s doesn’t say exp, so it doesn’t give exp
"can't be used with any other essence"
This says required job: Samurai, why is that?
Because you started it as samurai
Because you started it with Sam
Cause you took it on samurai
Ah dang it
Follow through on your shit
If I abandon it, can I do it as a blm?
Yes
should I change the essence I use depending on the situation/fight/boss? Or I only use the one that buffs more the dps and forget about that for the rest of the instance?
I didn't know quests were tied to Jobs/classes
Lol no
Is there a crafting or gathering job that's good for making gil?
Those scale to the job that takes it
Is it a beast quest?
Only dps increasing essences are any remotely useful
It clearly is
Or beast if you're scared
Clearly?
What beast quest is worth doing for XP? I am lvl 58
You don't change essences after using them
The HW ones I guess
Do lower/past expansion lvl Beast quest give less XP
I wonder
yeah, I was asking in case if there were one boss that needs some essence, and then other that needs other essence for optimal fight
When dying for glamour is it a way to have different party of the garment be different colors? Or is the biggest automatically the one changed?
how do beast works, what they do for scared people? XD
ARR tribes give set amounts of exp. HW tribes scale from 50-60. SB tribes scale from 60-70. ShB tribes scale from 70-80.
!skill bloodbath
nice
if the optimal is to use only 1 essence for the entire 3 hours instance, why having more space for carrying multiple essences with me?
or is that only for potions and non-essence items?
Thanks
You don't carry multiple essences
You carry multiple actions and stuff to swap in
So for lvling 60 to 70 I should do Beast quests in Stormblood?
Not exclusively
oh, I never carried more actions than the ones in my 2 slots
They’re a nice supplement but roulette dailies are better.
sadly, all dyeable armor pieces in the game can only take a single color, so what you see is what you get
Well that is unfortunate
so how does xp for chocobo work? leveling a side job at lvl 5 vs lvl 70 for example
When is a plot of land ready for purchase ? I'm in front of one and confused about how much i need to wait
there's a randomized timer between 6-24 hours, iirc, before the plot opens up for purchase
recommended level to go to second eureka zone?
wait so i need to stay in front for 18h ???
When land plots become available, they go on a hidden timer. No one knows how long the timer is because the data is kept server-side to prevent botters from taking advantage of it. So ... basically you have to sit there and repeatedly press Purchase and hope it comes off the timer right as you do, and not right as someone else does.
pretty much
yup
have fun
hey what does "You are still logged into the game" means?
what's the purpose of the Garlean third eye?
It's estimated to be between 6-24hrs, but it could be less or much more.
wtf is this shit 
housing is fun isnt it
it's not a good system but they've said that server limitations make it difficult for them to implement something more sensible like a lottery system
which they are, in fact, doing in patch 6.1
should I ask here or #technology-discussion
Just wait
What does DH means?
Double hook
as fun as hitting my toe in a table in loop for multiple hours 

You got disconnected by packet loss or some other similar reason and the servers still think you’re logged in. Give it a minute or two and you’ll be able to log back in.
And you carry copies of those actions to swap in once they run out of charges. You can swap skills in combat (also refreshes their Cooldown)
As in double mooching?
whatss the fastest way to farm 2000 units of "Aetheric condensation for the heavensward relic?
A9s X 20 with minimum 3 lv 80
Alexander floor 9 Savage is the fastest I hear.
A9s for group, brayflox hard for solo
No, double hook allows you to get multiple fish per hook.
Oh is that a higher level skill am at 48
Lvl 65
Hmm shouldn't be that long tbh
Sweet ty for replies
probably is taking longer due to server congestion.
Can I see how many quests I've done in total? Without having to count them
yikes. I googled that there were 1500~ total quests, is this up2date or does anyone know?
Total as in in the entire game?
Yes
You dont have to do them all
I'm aware, I want to do them all tho 
Anybody here got experience running two instances of the game at once?
ugh
#603040858782040095 @vagrant rain
Crystal is preferred
Just wait
Thank you 🙂
I only want to get seagull and dolphin pet. Can I just afk in a fishing trip?
I've done Titan and Ifrit extreme :D
Ah lost the mount roll
NO WAIT
I got the mount
get a blue and explode to boss face
Need two separate licenses. It’s relatively easy to run multiple instances but you can not do so with a single license/account. If you log in more than one instance with a single account, it’ll force out the already running instance.

Any way to uh.. speed this up
? Is the 29 minutes somewhat accurate or ;-; Usually my queues are 1-15 seconds
That’s a dick move but okay
