If you pick it up on Monday, you only have until reset.
a job skip gives u platinum pieces worth 500k gil total right?
If you have a full party, or a healer or tank to queue with you, it's more efficient to do leveling dungeons rather than PotD. PotD is only efficient for dps because the queue times are generally shorter.
Gotcha. Looks like I'll have to make my brother start tanking
Speaking of, do ya'll think tanking or healing would be easier to someone new to MMO's?
Depends on the person's personality, really. If they prefer support roles, then healing. If they prefer just charging in and swinging a weapon around, then tanking.
It all depends on your playstyle and what you enjoy doing
True, thanks
You could try either just to see how you like them. No big deal to just change classes
I was going to suggest one for my brother to play so we could get faster dungeon queues. We're both dps mains.
I'm leveling a Paladin though, so I'd like him to have a healer or tank to help out my dps queues as well
I disagree. I find healing far easier than tanking.
I would rate tanks easier cause you're not worrying about the hp of the other 3-7 idiots in the group
pld is a great begininer class
Just a tiny bit
Personally I enjoy tanking way more
I've been loving pld
The other tanks seem cool too, but I like how pld is purely focused on keeping his group alive
All tanks are focused on keeping their group alive... by making enemies hit the tank instead of everyone else...
I started with pld, way easy. Maybe too easy lol the rotation when you’re sub lvl 50 is boring af
so, about firestarter, is there a way to tell when the proc goes off before the next cast? Because, to keep casting, by the time the proc shows up im already on the next fire cast...
as healer you're more squishy, mistakes are more punishing
You won't worry about it after 60
..... Yeah? My point is I like that the paladin is purely focused on this role and thematically with the holy light stuff
ah ok
As a healer I can just heal off all the damage I take. 😄
I find tanking mistakes more punishing because if you get caught out without a cd, you're dead. As a healer, at least I always have a heal in my pocket.
you can't heal if you get 1 shot by a boss :p
is there some kind of wolf mark bonus happening? My wolf mark income is a bit higher than usual.
We're getting off topic. We should take this to #general-discussion if we want to continue.
Yeah
It was pretty brutal going from making a mistake as dps = I die from making mistake as a tank = party wipe
im lvl 71 and i need to increase ilvl by 3, which items should i get and what are their requirements? poetic seals ?
What's your lowest ilevel piece?
Just buy an Augmented Scaevan piece to replace it.
Augmented Scaevan gear will carry you to 75.
And yes, Scaevan is purchased with poetics.
sadly, my weapon lol, DRK
Provided you're not deliberately under gearing this shouldnt happen. At most story trials can do 70ish% with a tank buster even without a cd
Yeah just get scaevan weapon
600 poetics. Augmented Scaevan DRK weapon.
Do your job quests
question:
is there a way to discard any equipment that has "antiquated" on it, and that is lvl 70? I mean, can I trade them for something else?
or I can just discard?
You can discard it if you want.
If its ala mhigo, do your dungeons. If you've already beaten stormblood, get poetics gear in rhalgrs/kugane
It's class gear.
You can trade it with eureka crystals to get a dyable version, that's about it
^
You can also rebuy for 1k gil
can you link the item that's glamoured onto something
No
well that was a question that someone asked so i don't see how that's off topic but if you don't want to argue anymore i understand :p
It was turning into more of a preference discussion. The question had been answered.
thankfully i need only do one roulette and i can upgrade my sword
well the preference discussion was actually relevant to the question so it was interesting but i get it :p
id rather complete shadowbringers first and then do other stuff
So basically there's no way of trading them for uhh something else?
As Kat mentioned, you can trade them for dyeable versions of the class gear, but that's about it.
They're for glamour.
ah i see
(oof because I thought I could sell them for clan tokens or something)
but yeah thank you
So I got to idyllshire and came across a vendor called bertana selling primal gear and stuff, what is even the point in her selling the hellfire and shire gear when the shire gear is stronger, did the hellfire gear release first or something ?
People like Glam
Yes they were different gear tiers
Oh ok
Ah I see
what top is this PLD wearing?? img-cdn.jg.jugem.jp/c98/38137/20201016_3119769.png
Don't think so? FC boost?
Image isn’t loading
if you win you get more marks.
I mean normally a second-place will give me 750. Now it is 825 for some reason
my FC uses exp and reduced rate
Ivalician Holy Knight's Armor @timber condor

sweet ty
#glamour-discussion might be more relevant next time though this works
its fine to ask here
works then 👍
I'm working on overmelding my crafting gear, once i hit the thresholds for craftsmanship and control i should max out my cp right?
is there a best time fpor frontline ?
aka like ~2hrs ago
ahh just missed
Nah you can still queue for it
But then again it depends on your DC
Mine still pops around this time
k been 10mn so far
as a healer im used to them popping asap
oh jsut popped
wow 72 players
!faq hunts
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
There are hunt discords
faloop
like faloop and centurio hunts
Find A/S rank, assemble the squad, MURDER
They have linkshell channels where you can ask to be invited to a linkshell
can I link discord servers here
It’s in resources for a reason
oh
I'm going to do my first ShB dungeon so I want some tips
Woops 
Do I do it with trusts or df party?
Trusts take 30ish minutes
Trusts're usually done for lore reasons
I see I see
you dont have to wait if you are a dps so it's pretty good
For msq progging though, just do DF
For some reason i can't craft Kinna weapon, even tho i cleared floor 100th and i got 6 grips + Padjali in my inventory; Anyone knows why i'm unable to do so?
what does it say you're missing when you try to trade it?
Is 2620 craftsmanship and 2540 control all i should be aiming for before i start adding cp to my crafting gear?
can you equip 2 handsaint's rings?
yes
cool thx
Heal, Attack, tank for last
Bet ty
So whats the point of stabling your chocobo instead of just grinding mobs with it? Can only feed it once an hour and it only gives like 2 kills worth of exp..
You can only feed your chocobo in a stable
can everyone in my FC feed the chocobo once per hour? Or is it limit 1 per hour?
You can change the color of your chocobo by feeding it a variety of foods in different combinations, thavnairian onions remove a lvl cap because the cap without feeding it onions is 10
Are there any light server discords for buying/selling stuff that can't go on the marketboard? Such as various seasonal miscellany and discontinued items that can only be traded player to player.
I guess a generic market one one would be good as well but the server specific areas seem kinda dead
what sorts of items? because there aren't really that many that can be traded but not sold.
Seasonal Miscellany by the bucketload and housing items
Such as submersible/air ship parts and things you get from them
What are the jobs with the highest ATM?
did you mean APM?
samurai ? maybe
no, allied seals are for ARR hunts. Centurio is for HW/SB, and nuts are shb
What are the jobs with the highest APM, not ATM lmao
Except hw & sb that shares, yea
Nin mch brd
MCH, BRD probably have the most.
oh wow NIN has that many? It really doesnt feel that way lol
bear in mind this doesn't properly indicate jobs with periods of blistering activity followed by periods of no activity
MCH and BRD are constant blistering lol
Tysm!
says they who just figured out how to find them. what's the issue?
we talking about daily/elite clan hunts?
It was far more enjoyable when the hunt route planner website was working
have you tried getting dyeable AF3 from Eureka yet? 😛
keep it that way. You don't want to know true grinding in this game +_+
that's irrelevant
you want to get a piece for stats or glam?
Ah, you're working on dyeable AF2 stuff
Genuinely not that hard
Once you hit 20 and start doing the higher end fates, you come out with bajillion fragments
Just do the job quest
Time consuming and boring af is what it is. Though I did it for all the AF3...
¯_(ツ)_/¯
then join centurio hunts, and look for a stormblood hunt train
join a hunt train if you really want it that bad.
been there done that
then you should probably prioritize your msq so you can have an easier time, since joining an A rank train will make it much quicker
It has been like 4 days
And this game will not patch or anything no matter what i do
Guess i wasted my money

!faq quicklauncher
i too like making weird sweeping 'ah well's
I too like looking at these links and disc and having nothing work.
surprising that quicklauncher won't work, if you have tried that
yeah i used the 3rd party one
the game obviously does work so the problem is on your end - anything VPN related?
I don't use one.
I have tried using one to patch
As well as the SSL fixes and numerous others.
i could upload my whole game folder somewhere if you want
Out of curiosity - when you bought the game, what exactly did you buy?
but tha'll be like a 50GB download
ah well i can't then, i don't use steam :p
And you applied the cd key to your Mogstation account?
yeah.
I linked the sq enix acc to steam
I'm just gonna go redownload it and hope it works. If it doesn't i dunno.
When you look at your account information grid, what do you see?
It should look like this:
Except with yellow circles under the Windows version and Standard (Steam) under Account Type.
Just Standard? Not Standard (Steam)?
Had you previously bought the game from the SE store?
Do we have a list of all armors in game? (Including their appearances)
Have the Atma droprates improved compared to the past?
Do lmk if u remember the name 👍
eorzea collection, I think?
Yes
does an applied costume stays the same if i change my armor??
No, you'll have to reapply the glamour
ah okok
is there a setting i can change somewhere so only show the particle effects for spells that myself and enemies are casting?
Character Settings > Display Settings > Battle Effects
ahhh i was in system config~ thank you!! 
they're still not great, but they're much better than launch
I got 6 out of 12 of them in probably like a hour or two
I hope I continue this luck for the rest of them
what does the cone of Quick Nock even look like
It looks like a frontal cone.
so if there are 3 enemies lined up front of you, and you shoot point blank, not all of them will get hit?
can i play this game on a mac? i'm having so much difficulty finding a download link on square enix's site
Approximately a 90 degree cone with the player as the point, extending 12y in front of you.
So if one or more enemies is not within the area of the cone, then you won't hit them.
You can, yes.
Try going through the Mogstation.
So im getting that direct x fatal error for dx 9 is there a way to fix this?
try switching to DX11 through the launcher?
hi yesterdcay someone linked a dragoon red glow lance bought w/ wolfmarks from pvp ? anyone have a picture and name of it ?
dx11 does work is there a fix for the dx 9?
No. Eureka has its own independent level system.
wheres the party finder?
Press U to open it.
thats the duty finder tho
is it called fellowship finder?
No, Fellowship Finder is something else.
It's called Party Finder
If it's not in the Social menu, check the Party menu.
whats name of this pvp lance ?
@regal pawn
Snakeliege Spear
oh hey it's me 
!iglam Snakeliege Spear
is chainspell good at all for scholar
i bought the game through square enix store and it says "your key is being processed and it will be available here soon or when the product is released."
does anyone have personal experience of how long this actually takes? lol
i can't download the game until i get the key afaik
or should I just use font of magic
Did you buy Endwalker, or did you buy the Starter Edition or Complete Edition?
complete edition
You should get the key in your confirmation email.
i got confirmation of order but when i click the link i get the message quoted above
if ateast one stat is in red will the squadron mission fail?
it said that because of high volume of orders it may take 2-3 days to process but i thought that was a meme
If it's a Flagged Mission, then yes. Otherwise not necessarily.
Probably no more than 24 hours at the most.
thanks
But it could be up to 3 days, I guess.
Every stat in green is 33.3% chance of completion per stat
Unless it's a flagged mission, then you need all green
So 2 green 1 red is 66.6% that it'll work out
oh neat, didnt know that, thanks
or something that looked close enough to a kick
Could just be a Monk. Otherwise there's a couple of dances that have kicks, and a few other emotes that have similar effects from the store.
Not sure, I've always just used DX11.
nah it wasn't monk, it was a / emote
Did it say something along the lines of "X prepares for battle" or "x celebrates victory"?
Did you see a log message when they used it?
there's a mogstation emote that does a kick too
I know there's the one that's like, a shy reaction where you look down and scuff the ground with one foot.
I don't remember what it is exactly.
lol yeah
oh yeah that was it
Without knowing more about the exact action you're looking for @devout lichen , it's hard to say what you saw.
Then it's /sulk
do i lose my deathbringer weapon when if i progress the anima weapon quests?
Yes, but you can get a replica once you've reached a certain point.
is the replica the glowy version or base version?
I think you can get both.
Yes
neato
thank

Go through the rooms
and look at the map
He should be in the room furthest from the aetheryte
Oh, near the House of the Fierce.
He's up top
I didn't notice which quest you're on
He's up on top of the cliff
uhhh
Waiting to take you to the dungeon.
there's no up arrow
it doesn't show up if the difference isn't that big
but yes
he's up there
near a giant bird

how make it glow ?
o lol
okay so I think I'm way too worried about my ilevel going into Endwalker, if I have an alt job like Paladin that I don't play too much. Will I be able to even do the intro stuff in Endwalker with it at 510 or do I need 530 to even start the intro stuff?
Once Endwalker releases, you'll be able to use Tomestones of Poetics to purchase Cryptlurker gear too.
and- yeah that
some folks have been like harshing on me to get my ilevel up and now my anxiety is kicking in hardcore
don't let them
Keep in mind that each expansion, the maximum ilevel gear is approximately equivalent to what you'll normally get for two dungeons. It's not until the third dungeon that you'll get upgrades if you're in full Augmented Cryptlurker gear before EW. If you're in lower level gear, you'll just start getting upgrades earlier.
500 will be th bare minimum
510 will last you for about the first dungeon before getting replaced
530 will last until 85
yeah my main job is at 530
alt jobs are fine at lower levels then which can be hit later?
You'll be more than fine with lower level on alt jobs.
cool cool thanks so much Aura you're the best
As long as you can que into the 81 dungeon
You'll be fine
Which will need around 500 or so
yeah I was thinking about grinding out the Platinum Bozja coins in Dalriada for my Paladin but honestly....that's so much work for a job that stresses me out already
is the antique gear useful at all? don't you get the items it buys from job quests?
you can always used poetics on cryptlurker when endwalker releases
for alt job gearing
I'll max those out then
its just a means of being able to get the i90 stuff again, you can also trade it for them to turn them in for seals
do people have problems getting seals or something? I cant imagine intentionally trying to get them, they're everywhere..
What does the symbol next to the 59 and 60 mean
what im supposed to do here https://i.imgur.com/5LZQWzy.jpeg
means it have an ilvl sync on it
Oh
Stand on the pad to unlock the wall. Have to do both side
Is it a good idea to kill every monster while leveling via squadron?
hmm,..I see a Fate with an Exp Bonus applied. Never realized they did that.
Can I use the alchemist job as a means of income via selling my tonics?
Can I rp as a merchant or something?
its a feature added with stormblood
so will only see it on stormblood/shadowbringers fates
ah ok,..yeah,..I am in Ruby Sea
I wouldn't kill every monsters off the beaten path, just grab the stuff on the way through.
I usually kill every mob just because I can,..lol . and not get rushed through.
You can rp as a merchant, but msq will still need to be done to get access to more areas/materials. All the crafters work in conjunction though so its better to not just only level 1
speaking of Squadrons,..I am 400/400. is that it? when can I advance?
The exp is nice sure but going out of your way to clear out hidden rooms and stuff isn't a necessity
I think I suck at Trusts
Do your flagged missions to rank more
Would it be sensible to work jobs that boost your class? As a THM i figured ALC would he uniquely helpful
I know you can he any class ,but I only want to focus on a handful
so 400/400 is not the cap?
where do i see if i completed a quest or not
Stat spread wise yes but I'm talking about your gc rank
Journal there is a tab for Completed
highest obtainable grand company rank is Captain, if you're not a captain then you're not maxed
ty
If you want your crafting to be harder/more costly you're welcome to do it that way
I am storm Captain
is that it? I win? ;p
I mean there's still achievements and stuff related to squadrons/command missions
But no further ranking up
That's pretty boring, but thank you
all of the crafters ultimately contribute to gear for every job
except for like
cul
this might be a silly question, but does paladin not drop combos by supporting the party? Or is the support baked in the rotation?
Quick question for the tanks in the room particularly the paladins is cover a part of your hot bar
Clemency breaks your combo
And you never use clemency basically ever, it's the ultra last resort
wait, how do you get to captain rank? Im still first liutenant, do you keep doing squadrons until captain?
Yes
You need to do 5 different dungeons with your squadron
and then a flagged mission will appear
So what about cover?
how the heck does technical step work, because it doesn't light up the ability after 2 steps
something on my pvp bar must be missing then, yellow is nowhere
oh pvp?
it should go into more detail on the tooltips about what it does though, it tends to condense things into a few buttons
for the hw relic weapons, can i start the quest with one job, get the fate stones, abandon the job but use the mats for a different job
iirc? yes, but someone should fact
check me
oh, fan dance 2 was missing, that's yellow
because i have paladin at level 51 atm, would be nice to knock out the mats for the first stage now with another job and use it straight away when i get it to 60
cover can be weaved but it will have to involve selecting a party member. it's niche enough that you probably won't have to use it outside of some content where it might help but it should never be actually compulsory - I still make a point to keep every skill on my hotbar.

Is there a way to upgrade allagan tomestone capacity
I finished all the Eden storyline and I can't talk to the guy to get the tier 3 savage, what do I need to do ?
whats a good way to lvl up new jobs?
roulettes, dungeons, FATEs
Up to 60, PotD, from 61 to 70, HoH, from 71 to 80, Bojza
Beast tribes of appropriate level
!faq altlvlguide
Does anyone have a desynthezise guide for culinarian? Not sure what fish to destroy to gain level
I haven't talked here much but I found Archaeotania and I'm not sure if that's something I should be telling people? Or if people just usually don't care about that stuff
I tried shouting and yelling and no one repsonded and I didn't know what else to do lol
I think it's too late now though there's only 6 minutes left
Tell linkshells, Fcs or populated zones
I'll try that next time then, thank you
But do tell people that it was just up so people can track it
Cause it has like a 48-72h Cooldown
Alright, I don't have an fc or a linkshell so should I jsut go to a city and mention it?
Alright, thank you
is there like a crystal party finder server?
Is the Lodestone login different from the game launcher login?
Those are skybuilder scrips
You get them from Ishgard restoration stuff, you need crafters/gatherers
Is there a discord server for pug/ temporary statics?
As in, a static that’s quickly formed to say, like prog all lv 80 extreme fights quickly
Basically I’m looking for something like PF
is this a emote
But it’s more “we will do this this this together on next wed 3pm”
Can I only buy jet black dye on mogststion

General purpose is on MB, but it’s pricy
Whats the best way to farm tomestone of revelation?
hi, how do people "upgrade" their Exarchic gear?
daily duty rouletts ( main scenaria daily roulett almost always gives 3-500), i think hunt trains are even faster, shiva trial is also pretty good because its fast and often has new people
Pins has a guide
Scroll abit
allrighty
idk if here is the best place to ask this, but is it worth doing jobs like fishing, weaver, blacksmith etc?
Yeah, but you don’t need to if you don’t wanna
Is there a guide to see which crafting jobs feed into each other?
if there is no visual difference between the upgraded version and the one that drops directly from the trial, whats the difference?
only item level?
oh?
!iglam Shiva’s Diamond Degen
i see it now
!iglam true ice degen
so cool :o

if you do healer stance for your chocobo, is it gonna use choco cure more often
because it uses it very rarely but it's very good
The stances make it only use skills from that tree
Neither
what, dps stance?
No free stance, because it’s not restricted
Are you dying? It will heal
it uses the heals at specific % thresholds
Chocobo can never take aggro from you
it does take aggro if I shimmy across the edge of the boss fate
and your chocobo is not going to be able to take aggro easily from you unless you use the aggro increase food
its not that strong of a tank
there is specific chocobo food?
yes, easy place to buy most of them is from the vath vendor
Is it better to do levelling roulette or directly queue for the highest level dungeon I can do at my level
to level an alt job
should do your leveling roulette once a day, and then spam highest lvl dungeon that is not 50/60/70
im currently lv 40 so I can only do levelling I think
What's the deal with 50/60/70?
So I got an extra ironworks weapon that I don't need (I already have better gear for me and my retainers and I had 1 copy in the glam dresser), what should I do with? Sell for seals, or desynth, or something else?
567 doesn't give that much exp
how long does it take to do fronline?
50/60/70 dungeons/roulette is largely intended to be used for poetics
I see thanks
since they're old level cap dungeons, so the exp is tacked on
frontline is like 10 minutes, it's very fast and you also get wolf marks for some nice glams
does job matter there? like for queue times etc.
Nope
ok thanks
it's very good exp for how fast it is
do dungeons get unlocked with MSQ progress?
most do, but not all
Just do msq
no, many are 8
yes all dungeons are 4 man
that does not spark joy
ah I must've gotten mixed up
trials/raids are 8 man
and those arent unlocked till waaaaaaay later yea?
trying to find a guide for what pentamelds i should aim for on aesthete's gear, are there any good sources?
in msq you will unlock everything to progress in msq
trials and raids arent super late
i think raids start in post HW?
trials are scattered throughout MSQ
you do the crystal tower raids in post arr
yes
yeah post ARR gives you those
Is it possible to do the msq with a party or are all of the important bits instanced?
you can make premade parties
the dungeon/trial bits can be done in party
but theres a lot of solo bits
You’ll have to disband the party whenever solo instances occur
that's kinda lame, but thanks
I have no one to be in a party with but going through the MSQ with a premade party seems fun
yeah anything queue-able can be done in a party
Is edenmorn gear from savage?

yes
K, then I just need to get that unlocked, got my resistance weapon last night, now I need better armor to go with it
Does e12s (first phase at least) have some higher uptime or something than e12n?
I might not have the best gear around (when I did my e12n runs it I used ilvl 485 relic weapon), but my meager 75% parse on normal would put me somewhere around 10% for savage...
Or am I just bad
I'm curious how the loot works in savage, this is my first time really wanting to get into end game and preparing for endwalker, do actual pieces drop, or is it like how WoW used to have gear tokens you would exchange?
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
also weekly limit is gone so late in the patch
what would i have to buy to reach shadowbringers after i finish the free trial
complete edition or starter + shadowbringer
Either complete edition or starter edition + shadowbringers
i only have to buy shadowbringers?
If you plan to buy from keyseller make sure you buy complete edition released after shb came out
Outside of Lions and being safe for shiva, you can keep full uptime really
i think i see that for like 20 bucks
There's little downtime where youre away
The long ass stairs phase with adds is gone in savage?
https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/product/565219/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download last day for the sale it's like 16 euro
damnn thats so much better than i thought it would be
That would explain at least a bit the difference, maybe I would be 20% parse in savage
does zandor give more xp than bozjan
same exp but a lot more mettle
aight
So anyways how do i transfer my character from free trial to full game if i get the complete edition
So if say I wanted to specifically get the tank chest, I would run the 4th floor? What does it mean by 4th floor? And will the actual piece drop in there, or would it be a token I would go to eulmore to trade for the chest?
Raids are released in 3 tiers of 4 fights each
So 4th floor would be e4, e8, and e12
you would need to do e12s, if you are lucky you get it the first run if it drops and you get it since you need to roll for it or if you are rly unlucky you would need 8 clears each clear gives a book/token as pity
do strength,mental and tactical ability increase when the members get a levelup?
Chest always drops, it's just rng on roll
Yes
By 1 point
Where can I find a Heavensward relic weapon guide that is not outdated?
!faq anima
5.1
@faint flare thanks, ok...then I guess there is no other way for me to succeed in that mission other than to level my current members, i guess
Any difference between it and now, no?
Alright, thanks
Level or pray for good chemistries to boost stats
is best 60-70 leveling dungeons if i havent done any HoH yet?
Yes
the end game dungeons (ie lvl 50, 60, and 70) dont give much exp at all
also make sure youve done your daily pvp, its a huge exp gain even if your team loses
normal raids good?
Nah
ye i did that to get to 60
It’s more for the tomestones
alliance, leveling, frontline are good, right?
Trial roulette is decent for how fast it is
im not doing msq tho
All of those are good too
ye i usually do it just cause its fast lol
aight i still gotta do alliance then
nvm
10 min wait for tank

After gettign banned I sent a ticket to SQEX FFXIV support, and I was just wondering how long would it take for this issue to get resolved?

no prob
Haven't cleared any extreme fights in ShB but would be nice to, will I be fine with Duty Finder or should I just find a practice group in Party Finder for each fight? vid guides make them seem not too hard
PF
don't use DF for extreme or higher fights
that bad then? haha
there's an extremely small chance you'll find anyone, and even if you do you'll be there for a while
ah right ok
And mentors will most likely leave
ah rip, i'll keep an eye out in PF then in future, cheers!
you can always make your own party
if PF looks dry, i'll be doing that for sure 👍
If you're having armory space issues from two jobs, but that goes away when you put a step between them, how do you identify which slot is the problem
usually its the rings
was rings cause it tries to unequip both at once, but weird, since the third class doesn't share any rings either..
but basically look at the numbers on your armoury chest, see which slot is almost/full and clear that one out a bit
bruh whne does heavensward start ive been doing lvl 50 quests for 2 days
im at "when the cold sets in"
you're in the later half of 2.3, which is the halfway mark of post ARR
Coming to Ishgard is the official start to HW
Is there a way to choose which world to visit when choosing to visit a new world? It seems to be random.
Enjoy post arr 
Which world?
You pick the world when going via the aetheryte
Do you mean datacenter or servers
World server*
Oh
Main city aetheryte > world visit > pick one you want
Ty
The thing on the character select is a random world, just in case you can’t get into your normal one

What are the best melds for WHM with Exarchic gear?
Spell speed to preferred GCD > Crit > det/DH
Exarchic as a whole has a LOT of piety so that isn’t a concern
Is there an optimal gcd for healers?
what dungeon is the quickest to rush through with squadron? I need to level them
stone vigil is usually pretty quick run
there is any guide on how to rush potd as fast as possible?
Kill the minimum amount you need then move to the next floor
Kill no more unless you have to fight
like to 200 or just repeating 51-60
51 60
unlocking the passage and then moving on as quickly as possible, as mentioned earlier
staying near walls to avoid triggering traps
using all pomanders as soon as you get them as they aren't going to be saved
Hey guys what's the best place to find a raid group with specific raid days/times?
What is the best armor in the game ?
as of now it's a combination of cryptlurker and edenmorn gear
And fully relic weapon for Shadowbringers
Shadowbringers stuff ?
yes
you will not be able to get there in 2 days, skipping stuff or not
unless you literally do not sleep at all
you have 2 expansions + an entire raid tier to get through
How many days would you estimate then
like 3 weeks if you play for 5 or 6 hours every day?
Not everything I watch cutscenes after each boss fight
if you're watching everything it's probably more like a month
if you play normally like a human being and watch some stuff
a week or two if you ignore all other dialogue and stuff
if youre intent on getting the 535 weapon
well
its far more than two weeks
xd
Hello I just reached level 60 with DoL, where should I get gear for that level?
Sheesh that’s a lot
ye
going through all of stormblood and shadowbringers to get to the current raid tier
Lol
I beat StB in like probably 20-30hours and I read and watched all dialogue
Especially since the expansion is so close. Alot of people are taking breaks
There's no way it's 3 weeks
and how spread out were those hours
I play like 2-3 hours a day
If you skip all the dialogue and scenes and play like 4-6 hours a day I'm pretty sure StB is done in maybe 2-3 days
I’m off work for a week so I can play all day 😎
The longest grind is ARR. Since then it's been smooth sailing.
I completed HW fairly quickly
The pacing of HW and StB have been great.
My Exarchic earrings say they can't meld spell speed 8 because their ilvl is too low, but they are the same ilvl as the rest of my exarchic gear. Any ideas why?
screenshot? that shouldn't be the case
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
See the bottom right image
Gear can only have so much of each stat
You cant get more of that stat
Which is why melding is a priority
Is there a website to look for raid groups that can be filtered by raid times and days?
Dang
So do the 30 free days start ticking down once someone has registered the code or made a character?
registered the code
!action Xenoglossy
Does this benefit from fire stack?
no, it is not a fire-aspected spell, so it does not get the astral fire damage bonus
what would y'all say is the easiest crafter to level and do the job quests for?
Yes
A friend wants to unlock pentamelding so they need a crafter up to 80
Asking for a free trial mate trying to purchase the game. Got this error when trying to purchase from the EU site. Friend is from Australia and using visa for payment. Not too sure whats the issue
I haven't asked to see the info they keyed in cause we barely know each other
Hi is there still a Recruit a Friend feature?? I bought a code for the game but I have not activated yet. How do I get the rewards for my friend to recruit me??
Friend has to go to
Mogstation > Your account > Recruit a friend
WITNESS ULTIMA
that's shown in arr as well.
Just very subtle
nope
Iirc it's large synthetic auracite
Or something
I remember hearing what it was somewhere
Does anyone know if there's a use for duplicate field notes you get from the Bozja? Or can I just discard them?
Probably some Ethys thing
Give them to the historian in base
you an trade them for coins or coffers
For boxes or coins
Are Ichthyological Folklore tomes required to catch the fish that are within them?
OOOHH ok thanks so much!!
Yeah
What's the reasoning behind some dungeons always being ilevel synced?
Cause that's when ilvl spikes
Like lv50 jumps from 40 To 130
It's why castrum and praeotirum are face rolls
Oh yeah, they are all at level caps. But then why only some dungeons at that level? Shouldn't it be all of them?
Cause they're dungeons released earlier in the gear cycle
Sync by default lowers you to the max ilvl of that level
Ie 130 for 50
Dungeons that released before that gear existed aren't balanced for that gear
So they force a lower ilvl so it's not Castrum/praeotirum face roll levels
Got it. Thank you very much.
am i doing this macro thing right?
/wave```
Can I get help from someone who purchased the game from the EU store? Th options to pay via PayPal is present when I try it out but its absent from my friend's
Constantly getting 401 error
And we're trying out various solutions
Ignore the 2 SS
what's the best way to go about leveling gatherers from 60-80, i've just about lost my mind in the diadem so i'm hoping there is other alternatives.
This is showing up from my friends side. No paypal
Also, can the game be purchased via crysta?
Ghello! I was interested in collecting Collectables but idk where to go from here. I just finished lvl50 Inscrutable Tastes and im now with Lydirlona. Am i supposed to lvl up my DoL to lvl 60 or how does it work? Wiki doesn't provide me with enough info. @ me or respond please, ty!
hi, can 2 or 3 players enter EX with undersized party or need whole 8 players?
id suggest trying usa
not eu
can he not access eu?
id suggest getting a vpn too
Should be able to access. But does a NA game code work for EU accounts?
sometimes you get an error because your card is from a diff region theyre not gonna acept that
his account is on EU?
@wispy finch id assume so. Cause it's australia, and clicking the 'buy' on mog brings them to eu store
A quick Google by me also suggests EU for australians
what eu country did he click on
Let me check
thank you 👍
@wispy finch ty for your help btw juli
Yea that was one of the first thing I suggested
But the option doesn't turn up on their side
try the comp
This is theirs
OK
@wispy finch they managed to get the game! Just had to switch browsers. Thank god I encounter the same issue
oki oki
Thank you juwi

How do I seize control over an FC? My FC is dead, and I want to reboot it. The leader hasn't been on in over a month.
After some time the leader is automatically transferred to an active person
The leader rank will slowly pass down to the most active person of the next rank
@wispy finch regardless, thank you for the suggestions!
Thanks so much!! Do you know how long it takes?

Can you only ever have 99 silver pieces?
Or can you split it and kinda cheat it that way
Has there been any concrete information on how Aetheryte Tickets will be useable in Endwalker?
you can have multiple stacks
Most Items stack up to 999
Some people saying that they won't work for portions of the expansion?
But yeah multiple stackd
You can have multiple stacks of them
Yea thats what i was wondering
Source: Bought job boosts and had 2 stacks of plats
It's just how many items are in that stack
Well for some reason the silver pieces turned red in my inventory when it hit 99 so i assume thats the max stack for it
I was going to stockpile 1k of them so I could eat the big TP fees at the start of the expansion but if they aren't going to be functional at all there's little reason to continue
I wanna start doing ultimate raids but I have no experience whatsoever.
Which job is the easiest to use?
the job you are best at
its down to your own skill with the job
yuh
what should i spend my poetics on? im capped and i don't need any gear
gear for alts
I see. which job is in demand for ultimate raids then? I can play drk and rdm well.
all of them
Play what you can play best
i said i dont need gear
this isnt a pick one over the other because x or y kinda game
tempting, though i just did the pld anima recently
I’m gonna use PLD when I play tank now.
Saw what that class can do in EW and my mouth dropped
Hey everyone, so i've tried this mission about, idk, 7 times now?
why is it saying its pretty much impossible when the numbers up top have 2 of them in blue?
and they're 6 levels above it
Ohh, thank you
Shift more of your training to blue if possible
Use training to rebalance some stats towards blue and just run regular missions to level them up if you're still short a few points
One pure blue training will probably do
unfortunately it wont cuz it'll be 1 off
1 blue is +40 so i'll be missing 1
oh ok, well they're the only ones i have high enough level so far but ty
Yeah do the blue training once and then level up the CNJ once
And that should be enough
If they don't level up after the blue training
check if they will after the all training
as the all training gives more xp
do all the roulettes always take a super long time to find groups lol
50/60/70 says estimated 34 minutes :/
50/60/70 is one of the least popular roulettes in general
How hard is the first Eden fight on savage compared to the normal first Eden fight?
well i looked at like all of them and they all got long timers, i am playing as a dps and ik thats most crowed role by far
very difficult
you can run eden normal no problem whatsover
go blind
if u go savage blind, u might wipe ur entire team in less than 10 seconds
Where can I find gear to pass the ilvl check so I can start running the second tier of Eden without using the Marketboard?
you can get cryptlurker
It has a check of 455 and the Eden 1st tier gear is 450
how many materia do I need for ARR relic weapon ?
or you can get your 520 gear from the third nier raid
which one
Bruh I'm trying to get into the second tier how would I be able to run the third tier
450 is crystarium gear i think?
any of them? in general?
I heard it takes 75 materia
But what is Cryptlurker?
can I just put in any materia ?
MSQ wise I'm currently in 5.1
hmm well when it comes to gear
i will suggest 100% exarchic
it is very time consuming to get every gear from running dungeons
but if u have to get gear
Yeah but that's MB and I'm avoiding that if at all possible due to how close Endwalker is
Out of curiosity does Savage drop better gear at all tiers or is that a final tier thing?
Various combat materia from grades 1 to 4
