Or ishgard sundry splendors after heavensward
its showing that on image? or you guys just know?
killing magitek enemies in bozja/zadnor is good for getting faster skirmishes or CE? or both?
It's the 60 poetic set
ah
both
They spawn CEs
And the skirmish related to its CE
But you can’t get the non-augmented version, which is why nothing is on the page
I know in Zadnor, there's a FATE Chain you can spawn in Z3 by killing specific mobs
That's how all CEs and their skirmishes work
I think some CEs aren't even tied to FATEs altogether
got it ty
any CE spawms random, or everyone has conditions?
and skirmishes? are some of them random?
It's not
There's time based skirmishes which are always up
Which are what you always see
there are also some which won't spawn unless you kill specific mobs
How good is the Noctic TT card
but yes most are just rotating on a cycle based purely on time
oh, so the skirmishes are timed, not random?
Other skirmishes are related to Ces which have the same spawn conditions
It’s a 5 star
Ye but in comparison to other 5 stars, is it any good
You can only have so many in a deck and I already have a few five stars
imo, it's a weaker Squall. Basically sacrificing your bottom A into a 9, to add 1 to the top. But a 7 on top isn't really that impressive and will only be useful in niche cases
So I don’t need to grind, cool lmao
i mean it's still a limited time item, might as well grab it
I only have 59 mgp lol
How much more time?
uh...
Until reset
So 12am?
It’s not limited time
what's the bot command for timers again?
It’ll just cost 200k after the event ends
8am pdt
Oh
Your equipped chest is too low
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
thanks
are free company's basically clans?
yes
Guilds
Ah okay, sorry I just don't know MMO lingo. I am used to FPS lingo so it sounded like clans to me.
Is there is a Free Company recruitment channel here?

@leaden ginkgo 1 day 13 mins (From when i posted this)
that 15% gc xp buff, is hard to obtain?
Squadron Battle Manual?
yes
You can get it from lv 40/50 Squadron missions
But you'd need your squadron to be leveled to the point of unlocking them
Since they're weekly, u can get 10 per week
Assuming u don't want any of the other items like the Aetheryte discount voucher
got it
It’s a mgp mount
Costs 200k MGP
Oh is there no daily cap
Nope
Grind all the MGP u want
You'd be surprised how many people basically live in Gold Saucer
Adamantoise
the challenge log is a fantastic weekly source of MGP
What does mgp even stand for btw
Magic Gamera Points I knew it
I’ve cracked the code
Oh so I have the quest where I get a gold ticket
Do I just follow the chain and get there

yeah!
that like level 15 quest or whatever it was should lead you there and explain some things
Ok thanks
I think I read about it like a week ago, picked it up then forgot
Until I saw someone riding gamera and then needed to know how to get it
then a big boost for MGP is the challenge log- depending on where you're at in the story, there should be a quest somewhere in Limsa called 'Rising to the Challenge,' do that one ASAP if you have it
it's great for MGP but then in other areas will net you gil and xp so it's good to grab it as soon as you can
If you haven't done gold saucer stuff before, might i recommend u get 200k MGP to buy the FF15 car mount first before it's gone in 24 hrs?
I’m like half way through heavensward I think
oh nice! yeah should have it then
and yeah if you're down for it you can grind out for the car aha
the Adamantoise mount is permanent and not going anywhere
Why would I want a car when I could have gamera
It's 4 seater
Is there a difference between the ring slots?
No
The only difference is how Fashion Report interprets them
I guess recommended gear doesnt like putting stuff in the 2nd slot then
Do you actually have a 2nd ring to use?
I mean like how much time investment is the car
200k isn't alot
Just try your best to get 200k within 24 hrs
Hold on
iirc, there's a reddit guide specifically on how to rush it out
You have like 12 hours
It's gone at 8am pdt
So 12 hours exactly
12 hours without sleep lol
Huh... so the bot is wrong...
To farm a tank count: Can I just run unsynced Extreme trials such as Howling Eye or Thok as Thok with lvl 60 or are there even better ways to farm them faster?
Unsync counts
Garuda and shimi EXs
If you only have 12 hrs, then yeah, it's probably impossible to get 200k before it's gone
People farm garuda ex for unarmoured and Lakshami ex for arnoured
But if u still want to try, u can check this guide out:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/q9nblg/ffxv_event_mount_last_minute_mgp_guide_for_the/
122 votes and 23 comments so far on Reddit
Damn thanks, thatll be quite easy then. nICE
130k is like half of what I need right
?
idk what is gamera
Whatever it’s called
use the right term
would it be feasible to farm about 110,000 mgp for the Regalia within a few hours (since sleep is a limiting factor, about 4-5 total free time)
Btw the Car mount is not available on free trial right? Events in general?
Have u done fashion report and challenge log?
It is
It is
It is
Trial doesn't block you from events
Damn where can I find the NPC for that?
Gamera is a Kaiju (think Godzilla)
Haven't done Fashion Report yet, and I have yet to look at my challenge log
Uldah for the event npc
Quest line starts in uldah
Hmm? Have u not touched the FF15 event yet>
See pins
Fashion report is 60k (69k if u have the VIP voucher), challenge log will finish the rest
I have not touched it yet but also havent seen it. I cannot find any Event NPC in Uldha?
assuming u already have the other 100k
Gotcha. I really regret forgetting about the event till tonight when FFXV is one of my favorite games
I haven't been on for months
If u already have at least 100k MGP without touching fashion report, u'll have no problem getting the rest
This week's fashion report is also easy to get 80 pts
Is this the quest that gives Lucian Prince stuff? I have done this so far but not the one that is supposed to give the car.
Yee
The quest doesn't give the car
If all 3 are done then the vendor is in the saucer
You have to buy the car at Gold Saucer for 200k MGP
Ohh okay. Thanks. I will check it out.
Ironworks vendor
So I only have another 2 hours to buy it?
Any server suggestion for a new trial player on Aether?
Doesn’t matter
Anyone with two Aetherochemical Fibers to spare on Primal Datacenter?
12
11 hrs 45 mins
I don't think Aether currently has any preferred world, so pick whatever world u have friends in.
If you don't, then i guess it doesn't matter too much... i think
i think my friend play on aether, but he wasn't too high. so we might choose crystal since it has preferred status.
any suggestion for crystal server? i wasn't sure about population and community / etc. didn't wan't to join pure RP servers lol
That's fine. But just know what preferred usually means the world has less players, and they're trying to divert incoming new players/alts into that world to fill it up.
You do get some nice rewards for joining that world though
Wait I'm dumb, how do I do fashion report cause I'm talking to the Masked Rose but nothing comes up
?? Have u unlocked fashion report yet?
imma be honest I have no clue
I may have done Praetorium but I only ever did GATEs in the Gold Saucer
is the crystal data center bad or something? compared to the other two data center. all of its server has preferred status lol.
how difficult is it to solo rank b hunts SHB? I'm at lv 80 with 520 gear
There's no 'bad' servers. Just popular ones. I believe aether usually has congested and standard servers because some popular streamers reside there? Idk
What level does MCH start picking up? I started playing it but I don't like it as much as my dragoon tbh. I've been making myself use guns recently so idk
generally speaking most classes don't get going until 55-60ish
!action drill
lv 58 for mch ^
MNK is considered the hardest more for its higher number of positionals than it's actual rotation afaik
I can't imagine what playing MNK in e9s was like
that being said, iirc SAM is considered somewhat difficult because it has a pretty strict rotation
it's not greedy if you're good at it
being greedy is your job
I don't play melee DPS so ofc take what I say with a grain of salt
I've heard sam optimization fir specific fights can be tough
Is the green beret for fashion report only available via quest? Or are ther other ways?
Kenki fills pretty quickly if you hit your positionals
It doesn't have to be green beret if u don't have it. There are other options.
you can craft it and it's tradeable
@tall bridge marketboard is possible. But definitely inflated prices
I'm pretty sure any of the craftable berets will also work
Except for that one wierd lv 68 beret
Luckily on elemental its like 9k
What are the differences in the tanks? From what I understand the tanks as they are now are pretty similar in gameplay with each one having some niche they excel in. But is there anything particularly noteworthy about their typical gameplay?
Will Manor Beret workß
Is it on the list?
I dont have access to market board
they're niches are in the pace of their rotation and their survivability strategies
Probably not? U can try
The list only shows 6, but that's due to infographic limitations
there might be more to the list
not just tanks but any difference within a role is about ~1% in the ~1% top players …
U can try up to submit yourself to judging up to 3 times anyways, so u can try with manor beret first
for example WAR is known for having high HP regen and solo survivability, and Holmgang has the lowest cooldown period out of all tank invul
so in the vast 99% of players, you’ll see no difference ..
What about on a lower level. Like, I've heard that GNB pushes a lot of buttons whereas WAR doesn't?
GNB has many more damage buttons than WAR yes
GNB is slow until 70
I find the list to be accurate. I've tried items supposedly within the same group but not in the info graphic and it doesn't work
I see
In the past tho, so I don't rmb whatsbthe exact example
gnb has more buttons in the sense that … they have a lot of buttons doing the same thing but need to be pressed in a specific order >.>
Gnashing Fang combo with continuation hurts my fingers... i really need to find a better way to align my hotbar
It'll get better soon.
Warrior does have less buttons overall yes. You tend to weave less stuff as well
It might hurt less when Gnashing Fang combo is reduced into only 1 button
But until then... my fingers hurt
I actually click that combo.
Same... but only when i'm in a situation where i can't afford to stand still
But how much DPS does GNB do more than other tanks anyways?
coudl you get nuts even if you dont have the hunt bill?
Where do PLD and DRK fit into that "clickyness?"
You don't right click and strafe? That's how I usually do my rotation and move
If all tanks are balanced/more or less the same, then is there any reason to use GNB if the DPS it offers is no different?
in terms of clickiness it's like GNB > DRK > PLD > WAR afaik
Rank A always drop nuts if you have them unlocked, but they are tough kills. People usually do them in massive hunt trains
yes/no
the game is balanced around being able to use any class for all content
what about B ones? do I need to get the hunt bill first to get the nuts before I kill them?
so technically, no
visual flare, different burst periods, different flows …
Are b the weekly elite?
but people play GNB anyway because its damage on average is slightly higher than other tanks and it has unique flavor that others don't
or because they like the flavor of the job
I'm not sure, this is my first time doing them
Yeah, i love GNB's aesthetics... but all that clickiness is starting to wear me down lol
gnb only does higher dmg in the top few % of gnb vs other top few % tanks with more catered strats and teams … fwiw
it’s not … worth considering the higher dps as a perk when you play gnb ..
it is if you like parsing
but if you don't
it doesn't matter
I played WAR for all of last and the current tier just cause I like it more
even if you parse .. getting 100
on gnb is separate from getting 100 on others …
parse is separate for jobs so gnb having higher dps than say drk in a few % of players is irrelevant for gnb parse … but anyhow … i digress
Hi, is anyone running FFXIV for macs? I would like to ask if it runs well on mac monterey.
is it possible to solo SHB B ranks or do I need a party for it/
soloable
if i have a ffxiv account on pc can i use that same acc on mac as long as i buy the full game
yes, you just need to buy the license
license?
the game
you get free 30 days too iirc
it runs well for me on big sur, m1 macbook air
but "well" is different for everyone xD
I'm fine with 30 fps tbh
I run it on high settings and getting 30-60 fps, except for super crowded areas like limsa
I think I only get 20fps when I'm in limsa lol
I'm just afraid that if I update to the current OS, it might not work anymore
oh true
is there any way to get ahold of invisable moderators in game
i just rlly like portability
you contact GMs through the support desk
why do you need to though
FFXIV for switch when
active hacking in progress for a friend
TRUEE
is their account being stolen or something?
how does the fashion report npc work? I just checked it out but the npc didnt do anything?
“present yourself for judging”?
got it!ty
is that option not there?
consider also telling your friend to contact the support center outside the game with their issue
Well twitch did get leaked recently, so commonly used passwords with their associated usernames (even if u only registered for twitch but never used it) are probably being tried out by hackers everywhere now
The SQUARE ENIX Support Center is a centralized support site that provides product information and solutions to the frequently asked questions and issues with our products and services.
ya we all reported it that could
hopefully they get their account back
thanks same
hahaha
Hm im wearing green beret and opo opo brown dyed boots, still I only crack 78 and not 80 points as stated in the weekly fashion report
are you wearing stuff in all the other slots
All slots filled?
Did u fill up all your equipment slots?
Although the infographic says to use green beret and opo brown dyed boots, you should still fill up all your equipment slots (offhand excluded)
I did, except the waist as stated. Kinda weird.
Screenshot your gear
let us see
hmm... is it technically screenshoot if it's present tense?
I see

Hello.
Does anyone know where I can look up media tour info in text?
Specifically, regarding the glamour dresser.
wait, what beret is that?
I don't think there was any
Not green that’s for sure
We said "Green Beret", not a green colored beret
Flame searget beret, I saw it in the list
Oh
Then yeah, try filling up your waist slot with... anything really
then try again
And make sure your boots are dyed the correct brown
if I shout in Zadnor, players who're in DAL see my text?
I can see theirs, but dunno if it works from the other side
yes
Hmm, still, if he had 78 points, he could've also had a snow white dyed item and would've earned the extra 2 points even without waist yea?
Waist doesn’t matter
Because he didn’t use the right beret
!fr
The Beret was the rifght one
Last week when I did the Fashion report, I lost 2 points for no dye. Maybe that?
It is in the list. Just got 80 with the dye tip. thx
aoe heals don't work on alliance members in pvp right?
Which dye tip? Did u use the wrong brown dye? Or did u wear gloves dyed snow white?
Only your party
I did use the right dye. Opo Opo Brown dye. I dont know either why it didnt hit 80 points.
Wierd...
Easy 80: Green beret + opo opo brown feet
Oh well, at least u got the 60k
now earn the rest from Challenge logs within 10hrs 50 mins and you'll get yourself a brand new car
Well technically it's 2nd hand... Did we steal it or did ironworks make a brand new one?
Cant wait but still have a lot of mini games to farm ^^
Can i still pre order Endwalker?
Yes
so if i pre order endwalker base expansion I'll get the pre access or whatever its called?
Im about to make the order right now
yup
I dont need any kind fo collectors edition?
nope
Thanks 🙂
Challenge logs alone should bring u very close though?
Unless u haven't unlocked triple triad
Which u should as that's like 4 challenges
and because I own my license on the sqenix store, I want the PC download version right?
My friend gifted me the game with everything up until endwalker
correct
so i really dont know what the fuck im doing
ive been playing for like 8 months
almost 11 now
I think it was a christmas sale
I cant remember
just making sure, we've had more than a few people come in and go "wait why do I have to pay"
but i have been paying sub for a number of months
Thanks for looking out 🙂
I apprecaite it
np
peeps like are what make this community what it is
if you've been paying sub already, then you own the base game, which is ARR+HW
so yeah you only needed to buy endwalker as that comes with SB+SHB
ok well then yea, all you buy is endwalker
wow I think I got a bitter memory from just a normal skirmish. Is that a thing?
Okay, i got the digital collecotrs edition. Thanks
just make sure you buy from the correct store that matches your account's region
you cant use a key from the NA store for an EU account, and vice versa
Yes, they’re a lower drop rate than the red/blue/yellow memories
Yes. But it's far easier and faster to get them from killong regular mobs in bozja, or clearing HW fates
ah, I thought it was either mob kills or from CE's on this map
yeah for some reason there haven't been any cluster farms running whenever I try Bozja this week
I redeem the purchase code on mogstation right?
yup
the digitial collector's edition of endwalker?
possibly
oh for reference there's two spots to enter the stupid code
one of them is literally just for the other key
I tried entering my pre-order code on the wrong one too and it said invalid
im under "Enter the Item code"
that same page has another button where you put in the pre-order
yeah not that one
go to the other one
omfg lmao
Mogstation (Savage)
Yeah i heard that
Still better than UBI tho
I dont think anything will ever be as bad as UBI
what classes does the || crystal exarch mimics while in a trust? I only ran him as tank and I think it was PLD? what about the dps/heal ones?||
PLD, WHM, and BLM
Does each relic weapon questline give u minions?
no?
When leveling an ACN (or any dps), am I best off using squadron missions for early levels and later down the road, using Scholar for easier PUGs?
can you wipe a trust by overpulling stuff for the NPC tank?
Yes
best option is taking it slow and doing they daily roulettes
They can handle maximum of 2 packs
Right, but the queues are a pain
And I'm told you can basically level Scholar/Summoner at the same time
Scholar for easier levels and still do Summoner job quests on the side
Yeah, use Scholar to queue dungeon normally
And I imagine squadrons/trust if I feel like solo'ing with SMN?
of course you can do that, but you can also just queue as dps and wait the 20 minutes of queue while doing something else
Before you get SCH in lvl 30, just do whatev with your Arcanist
It is just 15 levels
Yeah, got it to 16
As long as you don't level Arcanist by killing enemies outside of fate
Any method will do tbh
I did the hunt log
And fates ofc
Tho it looks like I can queue up for dungeons starting 15
Yup
i dunno why people complain about queues in this game, they've all been extremely reasonable, especially after i've played wow where queues could go on for multiple hours
Trying to get the most out of my limited playtime, yo!
I played ARR with a friend and both of us played Dps
you can do daily hunts/beast tribe quests while in a queue
We didn't even know that queue can be fast until I picked up healer
Think my goal before EW is gonna be to level those 2 classes
And maybe RDM
Tho YoshiP has said they're gonna make the alt leveling process easier...
When Heavensward was released, we even start to ask nearby players if they want to hop on with us on dungeon queue (I did HW story with a healer)
Alt leveling is already pretty forgiving
You just need to grind
I believe that they are looking into ways to adjust it
it'll probably eventually be converted into something like trusts i guess
Right
With the fight against ultimate weapon split into its own trial
Well considering there's that elevator part, wouldn't be surprising if it split there
Gaius monologuing can be turned into the next part of the quest too

Who gets the funds from the cash shop, Creative Business Unit 3, or is it spread amongst the entire SE's projects?
can you transfer data centers? or is it only between worlds?
you can home world transfer to other datacenters
what does home world transfer mean? just want to be clear
it's the optional service on the mogstation that moves your characters home world to another one.
If you meant world visiting through the starting city aetherytes, then you can't go to other datacenters
i get it thanks
i've not done any of the expansion 8man raids yet, are they similar in difficulty to normal trials?
Some mechanics might kill you, but nothing a second run won’t fix
and it's still okay to go into normal raids blind? all the normal story trials i've done so far were fine going in blind
i mean mostly ye
then again my experiences are just Alexander, Coils unsynced and Eden
yes, though some mechanics might catch you offguard
but whether or not you actually have to deal with them depends on what job you play
yea i know alexander has a few random mechanics that can wipe but theyre all simple and can be easily explained anyway
and with ilvls and everything its not bad
i see that eden's raids have no item level lock, is that true for all 8mans?
how do I put the HW relic wep in the glamour dresser
no that's only for current tier raids
you need to get a replica version
I assume you also get the other replicas from the same place
and nothing really afaik since old relic weapons are useless as weapons after they've been outgeared
once you can get the replica versions you can probably get rid of it
which currencies to spend/hoard before EW release?
if you don't have bis for your job you can save allegory tomestones to convert them to poetics
and then use them to buy cryptlurker gear if you don't have it already
Do we have any info on crafting in EW? Like lv 81 items and their ingredients?
should be a crafter live letter soon
Alright. I want to start stocking up on stuff that can be used to craft stuff as soon as EW is out
so im lvl 34 blue mage .where should i go to lvl up?im solo leveling
how can i increase zoom out camera ?
somewhere with like 38 level mobs
what about revelations?
Anywhere with lv 37 mobs. Then once u're lv 37, go to East Thanalan and kill the furballs on the south east side
thanks
hm that's just thanalan
Question. How do I read parses?
hmm most are just 20 to 30 and 40 to 45
The lv 35+ mobs are in Coerthas
Or Eastern La Noscea works too i guess? Didn't realize they had lv 35+ mobs
@grand pecan https://game-guide.fr/139507-ffxiv-le-niveau-des-zones/ here's a good breakdown but it's in french
understandable with the maps on the bottom though
hm, so in my first experiences, I noticed the combat is kinda clunky? like my character wont approach the enemy if I click on them, I need to move either with my mouse and/or keyboard and then activate the skills
yes you need to move yourself, that is how almost all mmorpgs work
clicking on them only engages autoattack.
You will NOT autoattack unless you are in range.

ye but the movement isnt really good imo
@azure barn autoattack depends on class
Also, if you don't like the default movement try changing to the other movement option
I forget if Standard or Legacy is default
I prefer Legacy cause I hate tank controls
since i'll naturally hold mouse 2
I just want to move in the direction I press
I'm used to tank controls like FFX and Resident evil 🙂
Is there no way of getting this pants to match my chara skin color?
have you tried dye preview?
hm, I got some Items from quests as a reward but dont see them in my inventory, Im not wearing them either
That only changes the clothes, not the skin is shows
Is there a raiding server for chaos? Or in general? Got many questions and spilling them here will be detrimental to everyone else
That's just how it is for the tights I believe. They don't actually show your skin.
oh yes Legacy movment is so much better, thanks
You get more busted spells
which DoH job makes Dancer thrown weapons?
Thus kill fast
Faster fates/general fun with the job’s shenanigans/feelings of overpowerd-ness
Probably blacksmith, because metal
would i be able to do 80 fates with my 70 blue mage?
Nope
BSM too
Was wrong, GSM is required to repair them, not craft them
and the repairs follow the same logic
If I pre-purchase Endwalker, will I get the minion and accessory now, or when it releases?
now
Blessed
Question: what's a server tick?
It's basically the points in time when the server registers when things happen
Thank you very much.
Been hearing people mention it and had absolutely no idea what it was.
Server ticks basically determine whether or not you were actually in time to do something
which is why you can be physically outside an AOE after it disappears but still get hit when the animation goes off
wow it's only 3 seconds? isn't that a bit too long for an mmo?
cause you were still considered inside it when the server says it ends
it's 3 seconds for persistent effects
for stuff like player positioning it's much faster
at castrum meridianum, there's a trick to making that golem skip the lengthy hand adds right
Gotcha. I'll be sure to remember that
yeah you stun it before it gains the defense buff
but it's stun resistant?
no
or at least it fully resisted when i tried
it's stun resistant if somebody already stunned it 3 times
ah
diminishing returns
what hp should i stun at
I don't even remember
are there people here in the east coast US?
might need to move there from the west coast for work, and i'm not sure if there are work-arounds for the ping hit i'll be taking; will the game become harder with higher ping?
any tips for quickly generated MGP?
just saw that I'm about 70k short of getting the regalia car
lmao you'll increase maybe 10-15 ping at the most, it wont be an issue
Is there a way to turn on the spot with controller, without moving?
fashion report, weekly challenge log, gates
or wonderous trails
can give mgp if you get 1-2 lines
fashion report is 60k, verminion is 20k more (for basically free)
hm... did the fashion report
don't know about challenge log, wonderous trails, or verminion
oh, so double-weaving/aoe reaction speed will still be about the same? i've seen horror stories about east coast ping, so was wondering
if they'r eon the east coast and they have problems double weaving it aint SE's server, its their net
also a friend of mine said verminion tournament is like 50k+ even if you're garbage and/or only play against AI, but I'm not sure when it pays out
don't think I have enough minions for verminion and wonderous tales is min lvl 60 from the wiki I'm looking at
looks like gates and the challenge log will be my go-to for now
maybe I'll get lucky
thanks for the help

how often should i change my gear for my crafters when leveling in the firmament?
Checked and the ring drops from a one-time quest, but otherwise nope. Gotta pick up the fishing rod.
Also I think the hero's set (that drops from early post-ARR dungeons) shares models with black pearl items
Yeah... I need it for GSM so guess I'm out of luck
try MB if you really don't like fishing?
still on free trial
check challenge log, verminion challenges are 27k easy, you can just do the tutorial 2 one, even just AFK and let it lose adn it counts, wins not required
do 3 chocobo races is easy, same with gates, then win 100 minigame mgp, play 3 or 5 minigames, triple triad challenges are also fairly easy
i rack up about 70k of MGP on challenges each week
not including mgp you earn from actually doing the stuff to complete challenges
Hello there, new player here and loving the game. I have a question about crafting profession ? Is it worth to level it while I'm leveling the job or mabye wait till i m at cap lvl ?
soo why am i not able to enter duties with other players while i am a blue mage?
Blue Mage is a limited job and not balanced for normal content. Any instanced content you do as a BLU will be either on your own or with other BLU players
Up to you, but it'll probably be easier to level crafters after you hit cap
That's what I thought , thanks
AFAIK you won't get IP banned, but your account can and will get banned for violating TOS
Are there any efficient ways to farm Tomestones? Like specific dungeons?
!faq poetics
You get a one time undo afaik, so up to you if you want to use it
Can probably rebuy it
From the calamity salvager
If its the ring you can just redo hall of the novice
guys, I've been getting old relic weapons for glamour. I got the awakened anima one, so if I start the hyper conductive ones, will that process destroy the previous relic?
It'll replace it but you can buy replicas of the previous stages
0 stats but usable for glam
oh you can!? thats is awesome!
Liquidating your arr relics for the hw ones will also add them permanently to their replica vendor, normally you need the relic with you to buy arr replicas
Because arr
okay, so in this case, if I want to buy the replica I just need to have the relic of the next step, the HW one?
oh I see, makes sense!
I've done all the hw relics, I can buy a replica of any stage from the vendor node in azys lla
No matter what I have on me rn
alright! thank you very much Kat!

I keep hearing something like "at lv50 use tombstones for i120 gears" but I've got no clue what they meant
Can someone explain?
Once you beat base arr you'll unlock vendors with a blue bag icon on the map in the 3 cities
You can exchange poetics there for i130 gear
The best gear of arr
I see
best *tomestone gear
So i just need to beat arr now
This will repeat after beating base expansions for the best gear of those expansions in their cities
Does scholar have the same leveling as a healer or DPS
tehy are fairly easy to find, in limsa, the one is right near the main aetherite
"roweena's representative"
also I'm confused as what to you mean by "same leveling"
Like you know how you can level up healers faster than any other classes because of the hero’s in need buff I think it’s called healers have. Does scholar have that or will it just be slow leveling just like if you were tying to level up a DPS
Hero in need isn't exclusive to healers
and it's not a buff, it's an additional aspect to roulettes depending on what roles are needed
And the extra exp from that is negligible
Especially compared to the actual roulette stuff
Healers do tend to get better queue times, which makes it faster to level them
Ok I just take that as a no
I mean
the answer is yes
just not for why you thought
healers do level faster on average, but not because of adventurer in need
yeah, look at the XP numbers on that and ull see, its really not a lot in the grand scheme of things
Healers lvl faster cus no dungeons qs
exp rates are the same, getting into instances is the bottleneck
doing 4 dungeons as healer in a hour is faster than 2 as DPS
Dps q are easily 15 to 20 mins which is enough time to speed thru a dungeon
What would be the best way Farming those 'new' Moogle tomes for tomorrows Event as a FT with almost No Levels and Skills in BLU?
i cannot open the game
pvp frontline is not available for free trial as of right now correct?
correct
did anything strange happen last time you could open the game
did you change any settings, anything change at all?
Weaved clothes cant be worn?
I just weaved something and it went poof, not even in my armoury. And it didnt fail
is it in your armoury chest
nope
what did you craft
try reinstalling it
are you sure you actually crafted it and didn't just do a trial craft
It maybe in your inventory
Is it the right class
Crafted things go there first if I remember correctly
Go on, check inventory
It should appear as green in the middle of the blues in the mini-inventory-layout-thingy
already did
does anyone know how long it takes roughly to get the Emblazoned title?
i'd say 20 hours if you're rank 25 in bozja
should i keep using ilvl 520 nier chest or tome chest?
depends on the substats
nier - crit/dem
tome - dem/ten
nier for now
save it for endwalker
or if you have time get the 530 chest
gotta do nier raids tho to get the upgrade item
oh right i forgot i should keep it 2k so i can exchange it in EW
is the chocobo bag being "registered" when buying items? for example, if i wanna buy materia with stellaclusters, could i have the clusters stored in the chocobobag? or do i need to have it in my own inventory

Your cus it never count on anywhere else
Is there a way to increase the max cap of tomestones (2000)?
No
No, it needs to be in your inventory
can I trade mgp to another player?
nope
nope
cool 🙂
most event stuff is non tradeable
for namzu beast tribe should i craft HQ or just doesn't matter ?
some quests do require HQ
but it;ll say if you need it
for normal ones
if it doesnt say it directly it wont need it
ok ty
hi I deactivated my Square Enix account and I wanted to reactivate it i use steam btw
whenever a character in the levelcap MSQ says 'go and rest a while' does that usually mean the border between content patches?
generally yes
What's considered a fast run for hell's lid if you are running a typical tank/healer/dps combo
It's not going to be faster than 3 blue mages right
did you deactivate your service account or did you delete your account entirely
probably ~15 minutes or so with everyone really focusing
Your Square Enix account has been cancelled.
Please contact the Square Enix Support Centre for details.
it says this
@hasty musk
I got an email
3 blue Mages will likely be just as fast or a bit faster since they can insta-kill trash packs with Ram's Voice + Ultravibration.
Interesting ok
The SQUARE ENIX Support Center is a centralized support site that provides product information and solutions to the frequently asked questions and issues with our products and services.
I hope to get my 15 raw emotions from spamming hell's lid
Prolly gonna go party finder
I just linked it to you
live chat probably isn't available due to the quarantine
because ive sent them an email but it seems i dont get an email informing me i contacted them or do i wait on the ticket screen?
I literally just linked the page where you fill out your problem to contact them
Hey guys, where is ff XV FATE ?
Central Thanalan, to the right of Black Brush Station
Ok? save your number and contact them again when they're operating
It's a lv 50 Fate, and when it spawns untriggered, the icon on the map just says Noctis
thanks a lot !
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Fishing_Log:_Swiftperch
where the fuck is this, i don't see it in the map
east of aleport in western la noscea
it's the other aetheryte
i have samurai at lvl 70 before finishing stormblood, do i get dimishing returns on xp if i keep using samurai above the expansion's level cap (i.e. do i need to level another class to finish stormblood)?
Oh, I definitely replied to wrong person, whoops
What happens if you save a Waist Armor Coffer and open it up in Endwalker?
You can get an 11 minute run easily without blue mages assuming everyone is geared well
Biggest timesave is to focus on the snake boss and line up buffs. You can DPS it to kill it before the tornado downtime
You'll open it and get a useless belt
Or it'll just be removed on patch day
Also, if you save a level 76 Armor Coffer, and open it up with Sage/Reaper, will you get a Sage Reaper item?
Assuming they update it, yes

Actually no wait
I see, I'll see if I can find a party
the belt coffers become useless items when 6.0 hits
They don't have to update it cause it'll just be a maiming/healer piece
Do any of you know what I can use excess Collectables for? As an example I have Harpoon Head but it's not an option to turn it in to the appraiser
I'm assuming relic?
you need to open them up before 6.0 to get the belt inside of them
If so, you can just make a party finder saying "Raw Emotion farm" and people will join
Either keep them for when the NPC wants them again another week or just toss them
:/ alright thanks
Yes shb relic
Yeah, just specify it's raw emotion farm in the party findrr
Any news on new Gathering/crafting gear?
how do you quickly find out where the targeted party member is in the boss arena?
i think tapping a friendly spell and holding just forward makes you run in their direction, but i wonder if there's a better way
Zoom out and target on party frame
They'll have a big ol' arrow above them
yup
shortly after my last comment I started digging through the Challenge Log
was honestly surprised at how much I almost missed just from not knowing about it.
thanks again
So for DPS (MNK) What would be the top 2 Materia I would meld into my armor?
you can't make your target show on the minimap, can you?
You get a Challenge log completion for AFK'ing the Chocobo races?
There will also be 71-80 sage/reaper weapons, at least for the non tome recipes
Yaes
Is there a Halloween event in FF14 ?
Are we gonna have it today ? Since the FF15 crossover event is done today
the event is a bit delayed due to all the collab events happening
so it'll start on the first of december or so
normally it's in october or early november but things got shuffled around this year
I mean, also it would completely distract from the Endwalker launch
@mystic dirge the moogle tomestone event and dragon quest crossover start tomorrow instead
also i got my account back but i have another question if thats okay? when my membership expires I can still log onto the game right? and play even once Ive passed level 60
if you own the game you have to pay sub
awexome
thank you
no ifs ands or buts
yeh I bought the game off steam
it's like 15 at most
for me its 20
Provided you're not an altoholic
what region do you live in?
i live in australia
damn
hopefully those OCE servers get here soon
yeh but like how could I move to them
you can transfer for free when they make a new DC
Yeah
Yea
6.1
they announced it a while ago
No
dam
It's coming
Not at launch
That's all we've been told
New servers always have free transfers
thats good!
i remember somebody saying something to the tune of 'you get one starter shb relic for free' - is that something i should be trying to go for as a fresh 80? is it further down the msq?
Remind me, is there a specific time in post-ARR where it's appropriate to do all of Coils?
the starter relic piece is worse than the best gear you can get from the end dungeons anyway
Or put it off to unsync
Coils isn't super relevant story wise until post HW
you canonically do it before post HW
Except for the part where the game literally doesn't give you weapons in any level 80 dungeons
Or any msq post 5.0
that's what raids are for
allegory
Will free trial player be able to get the Auspicious Kamuy Mount via the upcoming Moogle Treasure Event?
Allegory weapon needs 5 e8n clears
i was lazy and just
Yes
i think i'm in 5.1 now, just had a || fast romp through the garlemald palace with our jumpy boi ||
Nice!!#
Also you need to have finished the ivalice raid series in sb
ivalice is required for...?
gotcha
but yeah
bozja gives you a free 485 weapon
which is nice if you dont want to go through the other avenues
you can realistically get a 520 weapon for relatively cheap if you have the allegory on hand, though
Heyyy, I've got a question about chocobo. It's rank 10 and as far as I know i need to join FC with chocobo stables to level it up... is there a way to get it without joining one? I've been looking for FC for few days and i havent found one yet
own an apartment room for a one-time payment of 500k gil
that also gives you a stable to use
are you quite sure you need a stable to level him up? because i've just been feeding him onions in the field and it worked so far
Im not sure at all, that's why i am asking
the wiki page doesn't mention anything about needing a stable
oh yeah, i think it did initially but was adjusted
the stable helps leveling faster, though
since you can feed them chocobo foods for more experience every 2 hours
i dont really need it to be fast, i just dont like that it sits on level 10
my chocobo is level 12 at the moment
and if i kill a level 80 mob, he gets 4k xp
if i train him, he gets 15k xp
so basically that's killing 4 mobs
so what exactly do i need? sorry for asking again :/
and you can only do it once an hour
thavnairian onion
once you have it, get your choco out and right click - use it
just make sure your choco is no longer able to get experience
i Have a lot of Materia 7+8 from doing hunt trains. Should I be selling them off before Endwalker before they tank in price? I'm level 80 in all jobs
or else you waste your onion
the experience bar should look like the one on the right
sell the 7's, maybe keep the 8's to transmute into grade 9's at mutamix
you're good
you can get one thav onion from a quest in heavensward, but other than that it's marketboard time
just 1?
yes, it's a side quest in dravanian forelands
you can get 2 from quests
guess i forgot the second one
It worked! Thank you so so much
I'm kinda confused why the Tank Augmented Shire Gear aint got no Tenacity. Aint that a huge deficit? Or does that not rly matter at LV 60?
eh tenacity shmenacity, you hit harder - boss dies faster - boss hurts less overall
tenacity is the worst sub stat for tanks
for the above reasons
you don't need it to survive anything really
also while i have good help, what should i put my points into after maxing out healing chocobo?
Thought the whole damage res i'd get would make the healers Deal more damage
It's not enough for it to matter
just dump it evenly
is there any chance to drop youkai event again ;-; i want that mount
choco cure is the only skill that matters really
we dunno, you'll just have to wait
okay c:
other than that it's not significant enough to matter
OK thanks a Bunch
i mean did it repeat before ?
when the last time was repeated
just make sure to manually switch your choco to healer stance when you truly require heavy healing so he starts spamming it on you @leaden ginkgo
uhhh like a few months ago
yeah the last time it happened was last year in august
no idea when events will return, if at all
Might pop the stuff on mogstation
sad.
what is the most efficient way to get tomestones of poetics apart from roulettes?
