okay thank you
what's a good fishing website? ff14angler has so many ads and doesn't work most of the time
this what you want? https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/
A big fish tracker for FF14 that uses rarity to sort
what does this Powerful Mark thing mean?
S ranks
nope nope I'm looking for normal fishes location and bait
there's an S rank in the area
gamerescape has them, usually
IIRC; If you start a daily before reset but don't finish it until after, it counts as the next days daily so you're "losing" the prior days if you weren't finished already, but if that's the case, I could start daily leveling something like 15min prior to reset and "finish early" so to speak. Or start MSQ daily 30min before reset and finish after reset and get it done, right?
hmm they don't state what's the best bait and location I'll look near the comments then thank you
what are the materia priorities for MIN?
So then yes, I can start MSQ daily before reset and still get the reward bonus exp from after reset provided I finish it afterwards.
How much longer do I have to get the car?
18th
3 days basically
no
No
Can we buy vouchers on the market board?
It never did
What does this mean?
Exactly what it says
You have a new chemistry available to pick
If you go on a mission, it’s gone
check the board and view roster there should be a blue lightning icon which indicates available chemistry
@flat basalt
Ah but I have to talk to each individual npc to select the new chemistry, right? Thanks
you can just confirm it from the view roster menu
Oh ok, cool. That makes it easier, thanks again!
np :D
Damage is predictable and static as hell
as soon as u realise u dont have to keep their health topped off ur lives gonna get better
There's no random damage
I don't curebot
Healing is harder in FFXIV compared to WoW.
No mouseover macros, no harm/helpful spell on the same keybind.
No conditional checks for spells (e.g channeling/not channeling)
Don't feel bad, I mained (the worst spec) healer in WoW and it was hard there with all the help.
It's not your fault, and yes Aurum Vale.
ye thats just aurum
Just aurum
hello! are there any requirements to craft fc buffs? our fc can only craft this currently
Never played WoW btw
Oh ok, sorry. That's my only reference.
I lose all my mana at just the first room
ye thats ur tanks fault
The first room is the worst
Even with Lucid
Cause of puddles and adds randomly being pulled
if they pull the whole room u cant do shit
is it better to cap fps with an external fps capper? like the nvidia control panel, because now my fps cap broke and if I use the ingame one I can't input lag
Yeah you gotta stick to the walls
Anyway, as for another question, how much Holies do I do until they're stun resisted
3(?)
And do I have to space them out or just chuck em all out when possible?
It’s funny, I’m struggling more with Tank than healer
3, just spam then
Which healer are you playing btw?
They just said they used holy
Scholar gets an AOE, but it doesn’t stun
But it’s not Holy
all healers got an aoe
WHM got Holy
AST Gravity and SCH has Art of War
only Holy stuns
I hear theu’re buffing the other AOEs

how long is the MSQ from the end of ARR to the end of the latest 5.x patch? Assuming i dont skip any important dialogue/cutscenes/etc
need to know how much to play in order to get ready for endwalker
no life takes 1 week... hmmmm
That sounds about right
in terms of hours?
1 week per expansion*
each expansion is basically a 40hr rpg, roughly
i see
Included in that 1 week is doing normal raids and Alliance raids
It took me like 2 weeks and couple of days to finish HW
When can you start doing Leves in The Crystallarium
!quest Leves of the Crystarium
requires a bit of msq progress into ShB
Thank you! finishing that quest now
Heard rumors they're gonna make MSQ scenes skippable. How eactly would that work for newer players tho?
Looking for tips on lvling gear crafting classes (BSM, ARM, LTW & WVR)
They already are?
if you're referring to praetorium/castrum then i think that's just people's wishlists and not actual rumors.
Not just quitting game and reloading, actually skipping.
Ok cool thanks
will endwalker have a pre-patch where we can check out our new abilities before the expansion releases like wow does?
I think i asked this question before but forgot the answers
How do i know if a world is "preferred" or not?
No
On the luncher there is a server list tab which tells you which server is preferred. In game, I think it is those with the star icon iirc.
!faq worldstatus
Closest we get is the media tour where content creators got to play a limited beta and share the info with us
Does the ffxiv store go on sale when an expension launch?
No
Aww okie
Alright thanks u two. I need the exp+100% bonus i think im starting over since it seems important if i wanna max all class
anyone know some expensive aquarium fishes?
Not really
Completely optional but there is a mount
Warden of the seven something
Rainbow fish
oh Warden of the Seven Hues? how about small or medium ones
is there no way to send someone in a different world sth?
Hi I have a question about custom deliveries. Do you have to craft the thing as the same class you do the turn-in with, or can you craft them all then switch to do the turn-in?
You can "cheat", yes
My fav is to use a lvl 80 job and use Trained Eye 
lol I'm not that high yet, I just want to use my specialist GSM to craft everything, thanks.
fastest command mission?
Debating on buying the endwalker collectors edition or not, The mount looks cool but is it worth the additional 15 bucks?
(not just the mount as bonus I know)
That's up to you
I can fly in yanxia but there is some zone still unreachable, those are locked behind MSQ?
can you change from servers
yes, for a few bucks
Full transfers are 18$
home world transfers can include dc transfers
you can choose a world on a different dc

how do I get one of these music instruments?
I see
They got a Fender now
Yeah that's why I wanted to know lol
now the real challenge appears to be playing it well lol
Most people use the bard midi player program thing to help
Anyone?
might need a logo card (visa/mc) that can do forex in euro (since india is part of EU/other service account region)
India is part of EU? I can try Amazon game time card then right?
Ah k
hey guys, do you know if there is an option in the game to disable the option to recycle an item that you have currently equipped? I wanted to repair an item i had equipped and recycled it by mistake :/
You have to confirm a desynth
it gives you a prompt before you can desynthesize so uh
yeah i was tired :p
but would be nice to be able to disable the recycle option alltogether for equipped items
so no mistakes possible ^^
amazon occasionally has time cards but price check is kinda awful at the moment. play-asia has 60 day cards for 40 usd (which is kinda too much if you ask me but might be the only option in a pinch)
oh i get it, instead of right clicking on equipped items in inventory you can just use the "repair" command from the general action list so no more mistakes possible
@leaden ginkgo you can move desynth command to a submenu, it's in the options so it'll be in a nested group
there should be a big button somewhere in the character settings - items or something
ah yeha that looks good too thank you 🙂
that lets you drag the commands around
didn't know that was possible
Yeah unreal
you can even disable desynth alltogether from there
Shouldn’t be this hard to get a subscription
hi, i enjoy easy class like WAR and DNC for a while now and i want to try BLM, is the class hard to play compare to WAR and DNC? sorry i still have not unlocked BLM yet but i want to ask people with experience so i wont be struggle and sad when i cant play it
Helllo, I have a question for those who stream. My streamlabs does something weird with the footage of my stream. It looks like this:
The game itself looks entirely normal on my monitor though
BLM is relatively simple, but playing it well can be difficult since your main goal is to sit still and cast as long as possible, which is hard if you don't know fights well
It's all about pre-positioning
it's also pretty GCD heavy compared to most jobs
so the core is simple but the good scales with your mechanic knowledge right?
essentially
it's fairly easy to play but there's a learning curve to limited mobility jobs and asinine levelling experience involving relearning the rotation constantly. depending on input of choice grouping of skills might be annoying since after a certain point it starts getting really crowded and easy to forget the teleport to teammate/back to ley lines skills (or how helpful swiftcast is for shooting and scooting).
stand in the fire dps higher
You are pretty much stuck for most of your DPS
i see, that sounds stressful
make a macro to mouseover that skill and keybind it
Yup
I went with rdm I'm a lot more comfortable with slidecasting as it for mobility
you'll freaking love jumping to people who actually did the mechanic
RDM has good mobility constantly
But when a BLM needs to move
instead of running
It's not that bad, tbh
It's stressful when you're progging
or if you're new to the fight
but once you get a hang of it
You'll start to notice spots where you can stand
for minimal movement
why are the fate in HW so hard
i have the best gear for my ninja and i'm still dying
get a chocobo with heal skills
no fate will ever be hard again
i did
set it on healer stance
my chocobo have lvl 4 heal
that is enough
Use BLU lol
i see thank you guys for the information, if the class itself is easy to remember then ill give it a go
if he's on healer stance he spams it
BLM is pretty much braindead 
didn't level it
that's what i neeed
The only complicated part is figuring out rotation as you level
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut
!faq blmleveling
i heard blue is a bloody pain to play tho
also, probably should never do leveling roulettes on your BLM after you level it
uh do i have to change rotation that much
because you get TOO many quality of life skills at high level at BLM
and returning to leveling kits will be torture
oof
once you hit 60, your single target rotation is set
it's fine if you get there gradually
it gets like one or two things later
how do you trick attack a boss in dungeons, my hide just breaks when the boss strats
your aoe is "set" at 68
at 72 it gets a qol
it's like the ARR story experience
it's fine, but after you experience later stuff
Suiton
Suiton at lv45
you think.. why
You can't trick until then
oh
ooh well ill give it a go
are the skill needed to 1 shot these fate quest easy to get on blue mage ?
Yes
It’s just a caster, that doesn’t get cool stuff until cap lvls
thank you so much
ram's voice and ultravibration are easy to get but not everything is weak to ram
!action nightbloom
Deals unaspected damage to all nearby enemies with a potency of 400 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 75
Duration: 60s
This extravagant technique belongs to Tsukuyomi, Lady of the Moon, whose malignant ire manifests as a field of flowers which then burst apart in a hail of deadly petals. Accept the inevitability of the grave, and the power of the nightbloom is yours to wield...
Tsukuyomi / Castrum Fluminis
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 5
1700 or 1900 potency aoe
who has more positionals, monk or nin
Monk
It has 6
Vs ninja 3
Monk does lose 2 positionals in endwalker but stays the most with 4 positionals
I see, thanks
Diabolos armament. At the very end you have this counting down dice? mechanic while the boss covers to arena in AoE's. How do you do that one?
Stand in the place where the 3rd aoe mark spawns
Move into the first aoe after it goes off
Stop for acceleration bomb
The countdown kills me before AoE's go off.
then stop moving
If it's the short timer, do it first before moving
It's your normal acceleration bomb mechanic
is there any benefits from the unique items that drops from extreme old content like garuda green feathers or titan
No actions or movement when it counts down
the accel bomb is timed so i'd try to get to the second or third aoe to go off before accel bomb goes off
sheath your weapon, as well
They're used for crafting their glowy weapons
Thanks
about shadowbringer relic artifact I am already lvl 80 but to start it I need to finish the main quest storyline?
as a dragoon job I go to the require location for the quest but the npc not giving me anything at all
iirc you need to finish 5.1
yup
Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty
you need to finish this MSQ
@regal pawn ||I just finished killing Vaultry|| am I close?
Still have another zone to go
Thanks
And some post patch stuf
To continue it and unlock bojza
5.0 and the ivalice raids done starts the quest line
And 5.1
You can start after 5.0
But a proper start is in 5.1
Thanks for the info
That's when you can actually enter Bozja
ye
Best to plan for it if you can
and on certain tankbusters in high end content
Some tankbusters give u debuffs that will either kill you on the next auto, have 2 hits where the second will kill, or smthing like that
Usually you'd tankswap but you can also pop Living Dead and cheese it
Can definitely be used for w2w trash pulls, especially if you have whm with benefiction
It's your tank invuln
that too
Like in GNB, make u 1 hp right?
Tell your healer beforehand
Identify the biggest pull in the dungeon and use it there
It gives u a buff for 10 seconds, and if u would die you don't die, but you get another effect that makes ur hp unable to be dropped below 1
But after 10 seconds pass with the second buff and it falls off, you die
You can
You HAVE to be healed
If you're not healed equal to your max hp you die
Hmm, but ig healer has to focus on me 100%
if you don't get healed to 100% you die
dq they'll do that usually
ye
If you have whm 1 skill is enough for 100% hp heal
icic, aight thanks guys.
For sch it requires more dedication, but still good to give some extra Dps time
Ye ill let the healer know before i use it
Whm also has holy which stuns enemies, so best would be to pop it after that effect ends
Can i use it if im fighting a boss and its defo gonna one shot me
ye ig it'll help me when im doing lvl 80 content
No boss in under savage content will one-shot you
Ye true, im just saying if i make a mistake and get caught with something that will kill me
Unless you have 5 vuln stacks you won't die to a mistake
It's called tank privilege for a reason
Ig ye lol
Anyone knows how the launcher can detect the game files?
My launcher says I have no files and tries to redownload the game, but I just moved them from my HDD into my SSD
how often does odin spawn?
Is it like, plausible to solo the FF15's Fate?
Very
A really simple fate to solo
I've just 2-man it, I dont feel very plausible :"))
anyways, any strat to single-man it?
Have your chocobo out

quick gathering question: if i have 85% success chance and 20% HQ chance. does that mean that 20% of the 85% will be HQ, or is it 20% flat? so 20% HQ / 65% success / 15% fail
20% out of 85%
Each hit has a 20% chance to be hq
well, what is it then ... D:
Each time you gather is mutually exclusive
ok so in my example it would be 20 HQ / 65 normal / 15 fail ya?
2nd, your hq drop chance means nothing if you cant hit anything
idk the math behind it, thats why im asking
no that would be silly
if you dont get a drop, it's 0%, big whoop
yea ive heard that a lot back in my poker days
imagine if theoretically you had 50% HQ and 40% chance to hit
its 50:50, either you hit or you dont 😄
idk why you're trying to calculate the exact chance of getting all 4 hqs, just whack the damn tree already and move to the next node lmfao
in your example that HQ would make your NQ more likely
What he’s asking is is the chance of a HQ
0.85*0.2 or 0.2?
which is just silly
It's 0.2
Which is also a question that I want answered actually
its not 0.2 though, appearantly
it is
it's random within that percentage
no, it's not
I was about to gripe that probability relies on complete randomness
If you have a 100% success rate and a 20% hq, it's always 20%
if you have a 50% success rate and 20% hq, it's still 20%
other people said the opposite
Sigh.
What we’re asking is that on one hit, not one getting mat, is the chance of a HQ
Cause it's stupid to care about?
We’re looking for the combined probability of getting something and it being HQ.
if your theory worked, that would mean that 40% NQ 40% HQ would mean 100% of the materials you get would be HQ, which would be just silly
if you have a 70% chance of recieving something, then it is also a 20% chance if it was hq or not.
would simply be 85/2000
If you don’t want to was time it isn’t. And this is the questions channel
Literally just multiplied fractions
convo made me dumb, it's 85/100 * 1/5
so 85/500
Frankly one of us should just go out and mine HQs without a 100% nq gathering chance to figure out how ffxiv’s probability display works
No I’m not doing it I still have msq
it would be asinine if fail percentage and hq percentage were checked at the same time
im surprised it isnt common knowledge, isnt that all what gathering is about? figuring out the optimal rotation for max rewards? which is basically math
or do you always have 100% success chance in lategame
The optimal rotation is go get better gear
yes, you always have 100%
Wait when should EW Savage raids be launching?
and then you give 0 fucks about the success unless it's legendary lvl 80 nodes which you may need food for anyway
4 weeks after launch
so basically christmas week
Got it thanks!
if fail and hq were checked in the same calculation, then the displayed HQ% would be wrong and misleading
Base hq chance is already 15%
because then by raising fail you would be raising hq
If the game showed anything lower than that with top tier gear, everyone would lose their shit
how can you easily find a friend that is in the same map as you?
other than partying
Have to party or say coords
The big glowy pillar in front of the jumbo cactpot board - am I right in thinking it indicates the level from 0-7 of the jumbo cactpot payout?
ask your friend to whisper you <pos>
i want to surprise him xD
sneak up behind them while they're playing and look at the screen
Might be in a duty
Critlo is better than all shields that a nocturnal AST can apply, right?
I’m not saying SCH is better, just asking about this specific mechanic
haven’t seen its abilities yet
But on a side note, SCH will still be a barrier healer, right?
Yea
phew, ty
What is the best way to farm skybuilders scripts? already 80 on all crafters and have melded my gear
Okay, thank you 🙂
question about DRK
In high-end content, should recitation be saved for a raid-wide (indomitability) or just use it for excogitation?
what's up
melds in specific, you meld crit on all gear except weapon that is crit+sks ?
Depends what you need at the time
how do i suck less at blm? I keep having to interrupt my casts for mechanics. Is it just a terrible class for going in blind, or does it do enough damage to be kinda forgiving on the uptime?
If you need ST healing, Excog...aoe healing then indom
You have a number of instant casts at endgame for movement
Like xenoglosses
And procs
Also learn to Slidecast
When does endwalker release?
Nov 19th for early access, 23rd for the rest
And blackmage… yes you will have to interrupt yourself a bit, but much can be mitigated as you learn the mechanics.
When you know big movements coming you can prepare for it.
Was at a point where I memorized ultima’s phases so much I only had to take a micro step to avoid all the air’s
Aoe’s
Once your good with knowing the movement requirements it gets easier
Basically? Practice.
does the blue mage carnival get new targets every week?
And thank you for the bot. 30ish days
like, there is this whole additional reward for doing specific ones, is that weekly
does anyone know bout the airship expeditions? i wanna see if there is a guaranteed way to get certain drops or if it’s just rng (and if it is rng, can I find percentages some place online?) tysm!!!!
Orchestration Rolls and Faded Copies of Songs, can I learn them eventually, they consume the most of my Inventory
Oh nice, it was Grayed out because I moved them all to my Saddlebag, thanks
When do you the Firmament items for crafting?
Like what they need so you can get the exp
question, is there a plugin that lets me customize graphical settings per raid ?
like the one in wow
the faded ones are NOT useless if you have your crafters leveled up (esp alchemist) or if u have nice fwens
I think for crafters you have to be lvl 30? For gatherers I think it is 10
I haven't leveled any Crafters yet, are they worth saving?
I could help you out if you’d like!!
send me a list of which ones you got- maybe in another channel? like tag me with em all and I’ll tell you which ones I can help you with and which are junk
If I don’t preorder endwalker, do I miss anything like limited edition or something that I won’t get access to later?
The earrings and minion
Aka preorder bonus items
They'll never be obtainable afterwards
Did they give away earrings and a minion before? For context, im asking because something gave me earrings and a minion but maybe I just bought a previous expansion
Each expansion has its own preorder items which are different
And those preorder items are never obtainable after the preorder goes away
I’m guessing logging into the mog station would let me know what I own
Yes it will
Guys, if a mount drop can everyone get it?
Sent a message
oh damn.... i was first ime in Shiva and someone just type in chat its his 5th time and no mount.. i just got it (didnt even notice that it was a mount) rip
i feel sorry now
Everyone has the right to roll for it
Plus arr extremes die in 30s so it's fast anyway
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
allright, sorry 1 more can i get every job and class??? or i shouldnt?
You can
Some people have everything at cap
See, I've them all maxed
goooooosh this game is so goood thank you guys for answering my questions 😊
omg haha
Whats the best for lvling 60 to 70,
HoH?
wait omg everything at 80 ? are you even real 😮
Dungeons if ques are quick
Else hoh for 61-70
Remember roulettes, beast tribes and stuff
Kk ty
good to know im about to get 60
I must have endwalker if mog station says Endwalker Early Access for Windows on the matrix and doesn't let me buy it. Is that right?
Yes you already preordered it
does Bozja give Poetics?
aww
It will give poetics in endwalker
This is actually pretty common
I've played this game for about 5k hrs and haven't actually got more than 4 80s
I hate levelling and I only raid nowadays
Roughly 24% of players with public accessible profiles have all combat jobs at 80
there's a mount for it lol
just starting fishing, where do i get bait from?

How can I report someone if I'm playing on the Free Trial?
can you? I figure that would be exploitable
System > support desk
ofc you can
That was my initial guess too, but wouldn't it suck if new players found that they can't do anything if there's another player harassing them?
Thank you btw 👌

Hello, i'm trying to do the DRK quest lvl 70 but the npc is nowhere to be found, I must have fucked something up somewhere I'm not sure, but he's not in the Forgotten knight inn

80 last night. Real focus in game: high end content as added (PVE; PVP). If crafting or other things assist - I am 100% open. In many MMOs I've seen "Max LVL now what". tipsor websites. I've seen a few FAQs and guides in the community, I found some. But I trust you people here :). What do you suggest?
Finish the story
Finish MSQ
Level alt jobs
Work on glam
Do some crafting/gathering
Cause you can't do shit without it
Your lv80 is useless until story is done
Game opens big time once you finish MSQ tho
!faq contentunlock
You can actually get proper gear by finishing 5.0
You get access to a new grind area in 5.1
Make sure you do your role quest, it’s required
See shadowbringers content unlocks

does it hurt playing the same class in savage?
nah
Having 8 different jobs gives a damage buff or something
I don’t really know how it works
Generally speaking you want to avoid dupes for LB gen
And you want 1 from each archetype for bonus stats

Hello I have a few questions
shoot
The first is am I going to be laughed at for playing on ps5
no, there's tons of Playstation players
Ok cool
So I just finished arr and swapped to machinist
I did potd 1-100, some kevequests and roulettes and now I’m up to 47
are fates important for early players?
I need to be 50 to continue the story I think
What’s the fastest way for me to get the last 3 levels?
easy exp
Other than the roulette once a day
ye but doesnt the main storie quests give more?
51-60 potd
Question about TEA Nisi’s what do they actually do? I’ve read every guide on the planet telling me what to do but nothing actually explaining why.
but if you're doing another job later, it won't have MSQ exp
start 51-60
clear 60
reset your save
start from 51-60
You need those debuffs in order to pass Gavel
So you need to pass them around so they don't expire
If any fall off, you can't pass gavel
Oooh it’s literally hot potato
And you wipe
you can beat potd solo
I mean I know you can solo the whole thing but like xp wise
don't solo if you want exp
Colored hot potato.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou
Yeah I just tried to solo bc the queue times were so long
By the time I’d get into a group I could’ve already cleared a solo run lol
But where do I get the option to start at 50?
Or 51
did you do the quest that popped after floor 50
yes
After I hit 100 it said I couldn’t go any further
you can't do matched parties past floor 100
they aren't intended to be used for leveling
Oh do they not give xp
Or are they really long
Oh also when I continued my solo run it said later floors would be inaccessible because I wiped to the second boss
Do you have to have 0 deaths to start floor 101
0 wipee
yeah solo is one life, to get to the top
Yeah I died bc I didn’t know about the sustaining potions yet
So basically is there any point to keeping my floor 40 save if I already wiped
again don't solo unless your aetherpool is high
Is 27 high
Lol no
max is 99/99
open silver chests and hope your aetherpool raises
if you're lucky, you might get 3 levels from a single chest
Ok I’ll try that thanks
Oh but generally is random dungeon queue better than fates/Levequests or nah
Significantly
Combat leves are fucking garbage
Ok good because fates were only giving me like 5% of a level
does this server have a vanity
Vanity?
Every server is a vanity server if you’re brave enough

Oh ok I have another
If I’m going for one of the solo titles which is easier
Heaven on high 100 or potd 200
Or are they like the same
HoH is generally considered easier
since its shorter, and the addition of the primal pomanders
still takes time, so if you're going to solo should set aside a few hours to do it
That ones in stormblood right
ye
what's that sort of adventure/epic/urgent song in the ost where it goes 'ting' at the beginning
played a lot in shb/postshb I think
if you could find a video of where its played, it'd be easier to id
Is there a way to set multiple waypoints on the map?
ctrl + m to open waymark UI
set all the things you want, then choose one of the 'slots' to 'save' the layout

Does the Endwalker trailer spoil 5.2-5.55?
plays in, among other places, ||untempering that kobold dude w alisae and merlwyb||
Sounds like High Treason to me
ehhh i would wait to watch it after you're done with post shb tbh
which server should i choose
Any
i only just downloaded
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
It doesn't matter
I meant on the map that pops up when you press M. It doesn’t seem to let me use the waymarks on that map
They're labeled with a star
i dont see any
Then there's none in the data centre you picked
hmm.
the star is only indicated on server select after character creation
Is there a way to set multiple waypoints on the map that shows up when you press M?
afaik, no you can only have one on the map at a time
first off, EU? NA? JP?
should probably ping the EU and NA datacenters first then and see which gives you better ping
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
how large.

Most AUS go to tonberry or kujata for now until the OCE data centre comes
hmm.
gonna note tho, the OCE datacenters won't be for atleast another 3mos or so
Unless they wanna use a vpn for lower ping elsewhere
but at the very least, once they do release, it'll be a free transfer to them for a few weeks
But you get to transfer for free to new worlds, so that's cool
On a related note, if you want to dye your chocobos do it now
all housing (including apartments) will be closed for the first few weeks
*on new servers
from here how do i go to western highlands? tp back to foundation?
yes
ty
there's no direct connection between Central and Western
You need to use the chocobokeep
ah
always attune
the area doesnt come up as an option in chocobokeep @slate arrow
falcon's nest
ah
is the town in western highlands
guys i dont know where to accept my MSQ .... 😄 forgot to accept it and now i dont know where it is .. how can i find out?
!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.
ouuuuuuhhh im stupid hahaha thank youuu
i recently completed death unto dawn 😛 just 0 aether currents, wouldve jsut tped there lmao
wasted so much gil and time

!fr
oops sry, wrong chat
NQ or HQ doesnt matter for fashion report right
they look the same don't they
No
kk
Will I be able to replace chemistry for a squadron member?
thx. another question. Is it better to just go for max variety in terms of races and classes?
Race doesn't do anything
have one of each class, one of each race
not really
well no
there's chemistries
such as "when squadron has no more than 1 of the same race, get bonus shit"
there are chemistries tied to race, but honestly tho its not that big of a deal
yeah
I am minimaxer
there's plenty of other chemistries
if you want a full squadron of au ra, then just go a full squadron of au ra
stat requirements are your biggest priority
uh
Class variety does help but I usually just built around the missions I wanted them to do.
There's easier chemistries to fulfi
yeah
having a class variety is more important tbh
since that means better spread of stats
I wanted an all Elezen squadron so I just did that and mixed up the classes to get the clears I wanted.
there's chemistries that are literally just "when above lvl 50, 20% chance to bring scrips back"
so from what i understand, they're introducing a totally new housing system which is instanced and not plot based, and it's supposed to be like an island?
Island sanctuary
not a housing system
but yes
what about class variety then? two maradeurs and one of every remaining class?
You can place items down and stuff
And that's basically the extent of the details they gave
wdym not a housing system
It'll have a house attached, but i don't expect it to be big or anything
it'll probably be the same size as a small plot
can't you decorate it?
well it's not like the current one, is what i mean
i'm bad with words
Whether or not you can enter it is unknown
And since its a 6.X thing don't expect tooooo many details soon
They've been very sparse on details. So there's not much we can tell you now tbh.
alright so we don't know much at all
it sounded like they were offering an alternative housing system which is no longer bound by the plot based system bullshit
I mean... depending on how it goes you could treat it as a personal house once we see the limits and features of the system.
No new details
you can world transfer for $18
you can pay for a world transfer
probably expect cross dc play in like. 6.1
otherwise, cross DC visit will be implemented in a later Endwalker patch
because they're working on the existing server infrastructure stability over new features due to the influx of new players
I bought shadowbringers but can’t make a viera character?
did you redeem it, if you're on steam?
did you register it
have you REDEEMED it
or just
in general
How do you redeem?
it's just a code until you add it to you Mogstation Service Account
Steam: Right click game, click manage > cd keys
pop that code into mogstation
for sqenix (non-steam)
check your email
Until you redeem your codes you don't own it
I don’t see a code anywhere for me TO redeem
Make a new character
DC Visit will not be implemented until after Endwalker releases
can't do shit until then
Where do I find the code?
.
.
Thanks guys, sorry. I found it
looks like they might be Eikon Leather Armguards of Maiming/Casting/Striking
How do I give players commendations
If they aren’t in your premade party then at the end of a dungeon a little window will pop up with your party names
You select them and hit Commend
It happens only at the end of duty finder runs, not PF
Oh ok thanks
is there any way to walk backwards in oblique without getting the slow backpedaling when you have legacy controls enabled
if i put A and D on move left / move right instead of strafe left / strafe right, the camera also turns when i press them
which is weird and annoying
Does holding RMB not lock camera to specific direction even in Legacy?
it does
and that circumvents the problem
but it doesnt fix it
i want to know if there's a way to remove it entirely
You don't backpedel on legacy unless you're holding both back and moving left/right
yeah
Turning is useless
hi
It's better for them to be strafe
it doesnt make sense that you can walk backwards by holding S
but it backpedals when you hold S +A or D
it happens rarely but it just got me killed
if im not mistaken there are side quests outside the MSQ that should be played in a certain order together with MSQ?
is there a place to see the right order?
I'm a returning player and im planning to play all again with new game+
also becasue im totally lost and have no lcue what to do
There's no right order aside from "it becomes available at X level" where X is a level cap (50/60/70/80).
typically indicate an important side quest for some reason or another. Blue quests unlock additional content of some sort, like optional dungeons, raids, optional trials, and (in HW zones and later) aether currents.
so if i just do new game+ I wont miss anything or skip anything from the story?
There are some side quests which are required for the MSQ, but those will appear on your MSQ tracker, and don't need to be completed until the game forces you to do so. Namely unlocking Titan (Hard) and the Crystal Tower in ARR.
No. You won't miss any main story points doing NG+
That's why it's the Main Scenario Quests.
I ask because I read something about black tower? or coils?
The Crystal Tower
but I have no clue
Why are zonureskin maps going so high and getting buyed so fast? It's there's a secret I don't know
Is required in post-ARR because it ties into the MSQ in ShB.
will ng+ make me do those too?
If you've already done them, I don't think so? Because they're a separate section of NG+
BCoB isn't required content. It's sort of a "this is what Alisaie was up to during ARR while you were hanging out with Alphinaud". Wraps up some plot points from 1.0, but isn't required to understand the later MSQ, really.
If you're just trying to get back into the swing of the game and remember what was going on, doing the MSQ NG+ should be more than sufficient.
no
tbh I rushed when I played the first time when Shadowbringers came out
I'm trying the game again but I wanna do it "the right way" but I'm lost and have no clue what should I do
Hmm, in that case, maybe do the Crystal Tower NG+ chapters after completing the ARR 2.0 NG+ chapter.
So do MSQ NG+ through "The Ultimate Weapon", then do The Legacy of Allag (Crystal Tower) chapters, then continue on and do the rest of the MSQ straight through from there.
lock
honestly I'd do coils too if you're not on free trial, it gets mentioned a lot. You have to complete Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda on Hard then the questline opens up
If you're on free trial then don't worry about it
Guess you don't have them unlocked then
Should be a quest in Mor Dhona
yeah i have the game up to shadowbringers from when i played the first time
If it's locked where Mamalynn showed you there, then you haven't done the actual quest... which would only be possible if you boosted?
