My bad. But yeah, I know what's supposed to happen after I fulfil the bugged objective, it just won't update/let me move on to the next part of the quest.
I'd like to see if abandoning/re-accepting the quest works, but I can't manually abandon MSQs and can't find anything regarding who I should escalate the issue to.
can i preorder just the digital edition of endwalker and not the collectors edition
and still get the minion and earrings
Yes
thank youu
i think the game told me i need something something crystal tower to advance, does that make sense? i'm still doing msq
Yes it's mandatory
crystal tower raid series you can start in mor dohna
its the 24 man alliance raid for ARR
An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.
Outlandish Man
Mor Dhona (X: 21.86 Y: 8.17)
Rammbroes
Mor Dhona (X: 30.44 Y: 12.17)
The Ultimate Weapon
Sanding It Down
You'll eventually hit a main story quest that you can't accept til crystal tower is done
Support is as far up the chain as you can get for in-game issues. If they’ve told you that they need more time to work on it, there’s not much else you can do.
Just follow up on the ticket every day or so at best
It sounds like you hit a rare or unique bug, and they just need additional time to investigate it
The side of the monster is the flank right?
Yes
ight thanks!
!faq positional
Rear is rear
Front is front
Flank is the only one left 
does ocean fishing counts toward challenge log? like catch 30 fish something like that
Alright, thanks.
if two people group for roulettes and one is in Heavensward and the other has everything unlocked are they restricted to HW dungeons/trials where applicable?
yeah
Yeah. It’s still fishing
ok ty ty
Is returner bonus only for existing characters? Or should it be on new characters as well? Haven't played since 2015 and I clicked "Decide Later" on one character but when I made a new one and logged in I never got a prompt.
It's for characters who haven't logged on for 30 days
Oh okay, so not for new characters. Gotcha
They're limited to what the entire group has access to
thank you!
how do i get this icon for my name?
Is the fishing boat just first come first serve for who can get on?
Time gated at certain times, check the boat schedule
ah, I see
You just have 15mins to que and the boats leave at that time if not full
It's not as frequent as you'd like if you want to speed lvl fishing but it comes every 2 hours
I've been content with fishing in diadem thus far, I just finished my level 40 quest
seeing as I was 12 last night I'd say I'm doing fairly well 
Thank you for your answers! 
Remember to desynth your diadem fish for diadem materials for crafters
Be prepared if you fish in fishing boat though, your inventory going to get a huge hit lol
noted, thank you
hey i'm going through steps for anima weapon
do i lose the weapon from step 2 when i do step 3 ?
and step 4, and 5, ect..
You trade in the weapon for the upgrade, yes
if I had to guess, it's similar to how the resistance weapons work, in which case yes - think of it like a recipe that uses a prior-crafted item to make it
rly ??
the replicas can be used for appearance^^
oh thanks
You need to grind the entire line first tho
Hello, I just turned lvl 50 and I can't find the moogle duties for tomes

if party members are more than 10 levels apart, you won't get EXP from mobs
Anyone have the pic of when we can move when casting so it doesn’t interrupt?
around 00.30
is when I do it
Thank you!
!faq slidecast
• Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
• Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
• Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:
How do i buy emotes on the market
should keep in mind when you can slide cast is dependent on your ping
where is it
use partial search for search for items called "ballroom etiquette"
Is there an easy way to track down Blue Quests I haven't picked up?
damnit i cant decide which would be more fun. monk, machinist, lancer or summoner
play one and then level the others later
@lone totem it's not an entirely deliberate feature. It more people abusing functionality designed for people with bad connections
Fuck it I'll be a bit more seasonal
is there some way to check which hairstyles i have already dropped from nier raid?
Visit each zone and open your map
Go to the aesthestician
And if you haven't unlocked it yet go do that
It's a fun little quest
i probably should've thought of that lmao, thanks
If you're on pc there's a plugin called good memory
Well thats poor design.
That adds a have: yes/no to minions, hairstyles etc
You're going to be visiting all the zones during patch content or for quests etc anyways
And Im sure I still missed some.
It's optional, and if you didn't pick it up. Well that was your decision
K got it, you're rude. Thanks though
you can use the wiki: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Side_Quests
and then just search out blue quests
||Anyone on ather want to fight titan with me?||
Just use duty finder
Not that kind of questions and help chat
So it turns out I have some irregular tomestones of pagentry from back when I first started the game. Is there a way to turn them in? The event moogle doesn't seem to have any Pagentry items
No
Just use the duty finder or #recruitment-aether
Ok
Tomes from the last event were special fanfest ones, only redeemable during the event
Aww man. I'm pretty sure someone told me to hang on to them when I asked back then.
Hey, currently farming my first zodiac weapon and just wanted to ask if there is a way to find out which Atma bonus is currently active?
Would have been the exact opposite
No
sigh
Just unsync tam tara
can someone help me with a list of what they are wearing? wanna get those clothes 😭
I don't know the exact name but you can buy that shirt from any ARR city vendor and dye it pink
it's a disciple of war shirt
cotton shirt is the lowest ilvl shared model for it
the legs are caster legs from dzemael darkhold
pants are coliseum loincloth, but can use taffeta loincloth instead
which is lv1 glamour item
feet are hard leather caligae
can unsynced raid runs still get tomestones or nah
No
Will the pagentry tomestone vendor come back during the next fanfest, or was that a one time thing?
one-time thing
this was descrbied specifically as not being able to be traded in at a later date at all

what blue mage spells should i be taking to dungeons? I mean, before i learn all the end game stuff?
any that's useful for masked carnival
which of the duty roulettes is worth doing if im lvling a class?
priority MSQ > Leveling > AR > Frontline > Trials > others
but all are good for leveling alt job
as long as you do it once a day
all of them if you want the most exp, Vielen's priority is correct though
that's not a roulette
i dont think ill do msq
that shit takes too long
i dont have the patience
fuck that
it depends, it's the nuttiest exp
i usually launch some youtube video on my second monitor and just go to town
it was not implied anywhere where they were confused about job quests, i'm sure they could figure it out on their own
Which of the mounts from the itinerant moogle for the event are usually hard/rare to find? Are there any specifically in there that would require a large amount of grind or rarity if the event wasn’t around?
that is not pertinent to the question
depends
the bird is from grinding out Final Steps of Faith Ex
the kamuy is from Seiryu Ex
the rest of the mounts are beast tribes, which are a long grind with dailies but are easy
I thought I was in beginners lounge
So those two are prob hardest usually?
yeah
they're mounts from extreme difficulty trials that you need to compete for with other people in public parties
everything else is easily earnable via timegated dailies via beast tribes

log into mogstation > Square Enix Account settings > account information > Region
What region is your mogstation set to
yeah
Thanks. Which is more worth it?
the dog
is gunbreaker the most complicated tank
though get both if you wish to save yourself some grief, niddhogg ex farm is still long / needs a few people to bypass mechanics
no, it's PLD or DRK
i would argue GNB's the easiest tank behind WAR
does anyone know how the bonus windows for zodiac light farming works? is there a way to figure out the window without running every dungeon?
wheres the sundry spleandors for level 60 gear
idyllshire or right in front of the aetheryte in foundation if you go down the stairs
ishgard or idylshire
tysm
either sastasha/tamtara/aurum vale/copperbell
those give the most light
pray one of those give bonus light and run them 20 times
can you beat the game up to ew before it launches with the remaining time we have ?
Yeah
swag
im level 60, my friends just bought the game. at what point can we start doing dungeons together? is there a quest that needs to be completed?
ah. gotcha. thanks so much for the quick reply!
Was the bird one called the dark lanner? @outer mural
yes
aiight
im sure this has been asked a bunch but.... im about to purchase the base game, if i also buy endwalker, will it include everything before it? or do i have to wait until ew comes out to play the rest of the expansions?
until ew comes out
if you want to save the most money, wait until ew comes out in a month
so will heavensward be the only expansion i can play til then?
Would anyone mind walking me through blue mage as a total beginner for what I need to do to prep for coils 2 grinding?
correct
to be specific, you need at least a level 50 BLU with
- Level 5 Death or Missile
- If you go with Death, J-Kick is preferred
- Moon Flute
- Whistle
- Final Sting
- Not needed, but Aetherial MMimicry for DPS boost is great for consistency
alright cool. thank you!
there is any guide on how deal dmg in bozjan?
hey one of my retainer is filled to bursting just with materia, what should i do with it just sell?
im not on trial
If I complete a wondrous tales can I hold onto it for a few days and also partly complete a second one?
pretty sure you can only have one tales book at a time
every journal has up to 2 weeks to turn in when you collect it
Awesome! Thanks so much, So if i'm a level 1 blue mage what steps do I take to get there?
optimally you would want to level up your character by either going solo and killing overworld mobs, or having a friend power level you via technqiues you can look up on google
then for spells it would be optimal to find a spell list from many various sources you could also look up, and then do those synced to grab them
everything is 60 and below, with moon flute being locked behind some masked carnivale
it will take some work but if you were interested in BLU anyway, it's worth doing it
alright but I can have two at once right? One just has to be done
i meant like, essence+lost action. For sam or smn
one at a time, you just have up to 2 weeks to turn in the first else that one expires and you also miss the journal for the second week as well
to get the primal spells, is it better to spam unsynch or to try synched?
even garuda extreme?
Skirmisher + Font of Power/Magic + banner of Noble ends/Sacrifice
Would the moogle event going on rn be a good mgp farm
Yes
If you want
I accidentally spent 60k on triad cards bc I thought they cost Gil and not mgp
I just need 50k more now though
Quick question, are Edenmete and Exarchic gear equal stats wise since they’re both 510?
And only if exarchic is hq
That’s pretty useful, I can’t afford to buy another set of exarchic gear lol
Just augment exarchic with allegory to 520
For exarchic gear, buy the cheapest stuff available on your datacenter, then convert those into certificates and then into 520 augmented exarchic
Pins for augment guide

Thanks for that 😊
I need to get some more tomes to convert all my gear but that shouldn’t take too long

what are the macro commands for copying a skill from a specific crossbar slot, to a specific hotbar slot?
hello, is there a preorder deadline for the EXP ring? tnx (:
it's /chotbar copy FROMJOB (set) TOJOB (set)
so /chotbar copy WVR 1 LTW 1 would copy the first WVR cross hotbar set to LTW's first
sorry, i meant from a crossbar slot to a hotbar slot on the same job
Pretty sure that's not a thing
aw
what are you using it for
im using a bunch of hotbars to essentially put my extended crossbar on screen
and i have to manually copy the skills to the hotbars so they show
i wanted to make a macro
The hotbar copy only works within the same hotbar type
You can't copy controller hotbars to pc hotbars
Is there any penalty for leaving a FC? Like a time limit before joining a new one?
nah
Cause the design of the hotbars are different
i was hoping i could copy individual slots
same reason they're stat squishing this expansion I would assume
So you can't mass store them for things like expansion drops
iirc you cannot make an FC within 24 hours of you leaving one
but oh well
but thats it
So you can't hoard them, and forces you to go do content when you want to buy stuff that requires poetics
Poetics are super easy to get
it helps keep a healthy volume of people doing the daily roulettes
the limit really is a non-issue, its easy to make poetics after level 50
where can i check my poetics ? i dont see them in my inventory hmm
Currency tab
Or click your gil
weekly reset
Reset for revelation
You can only get 900 revelation a week
Which resets on that timer
oh okay thanks
what spell gives "harmonized"? It says bristle doesnt stack with it but idk what its talking about
Whistle
ahhh ok ty

do we have the full hildy dance as an emote yet
The one from the end of Stormblood?
Yea
It's given to you as soon as you complete all the quests.
It's the "Manderville Mambo".
holy pog
Try the command, "/mmambo".
yeah, it’s the final quest reward
I'm wrapping up hildy for the TT cards but I'll take the emote bro
For World Transfer, does it reset your cumulative points achieved in Ishgardian restoration? I see that it resets the ranked points per season, but what about the cumulative (for the pterodacton)
can you transmute a lower tier materia into a higher tier materia? (example: materia 5 transmute to materia 7)
The following will not be transferred along with your character:
Points earned toward currently ongoing restoration rankings.
- You will also be removed from the rankings on your previous Home World.
fixed it
typo'd
lol
so it would seem that it will not be carried over
Asking cause it says current rankings
yeah it seems to be for the leaderboards
its right near feast information
though for some reason deep dungeon scores aren't transferred either
so that's kinda weird
This NPC https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/npc/cd74a28508b/ can hypothetically give you a higher grade
is there a way to change home worlds on the same data centre for free?
and set it as your main
No
https://latetothepartyfinder.com/ffxiv-materia-farming-guide/ has a decent guide on Materia Transmutation
am i doing the DQ collab quest fate wrong ive been waiting for quite some time for it to appear
central thanalan btw
Does GN. Brutal shell shield have lower potency if it overheals? The tooltip claims it takes the heal and makes into it shell, what happens if it heals 0 because full health?
No
“Creates a barrier which nullifies damage equaling HP restored”
Oh ok. Tooltip could be clearer.
As in the heal you received
That's the wording on all barrier skills
You are overthinking it
Heal # = shield #
Off global Shields can stack
You'll never keep it up if you're mt so it doesn't really matter
it's specifically gcd shields that do not stack
however consider that scholar also has like
Gunbreaker barrier is very minuscule in the grand scale of things
A stronger shield will overwrite a weaker shield of the same type
only 1 or 2 ogcd shields
you're overthinking it
I’m talking Brutal She’ll specifically, it’s a combo bonus.
and ast has a small handful depending on sect currently
All gnb mitis are kinda strange but that's why it has like 10 of em
It doesn't have 10
it will stack with brutal shell
Hyperbole chief
tl;dr only the gcd shields on ast and scholar do not stack
if it isn't that, don't care, it would stack
fixed typo
The game is tuned to favor the players
Well not sure how to classify this. But
Combo Bonus: Creates a barrier which nullifies damage equaling HP restored
Duration: 30s.
Does this count as GCD shield and thus does not stack?
Whether shields overwrites or not, is not entirely up to whether they are GCD or not
!action succor
no, the reason why i specify GCD heals for two classes is because those are the only spells that have conditional "does not stack" traits
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 180
Additional Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.
What should my graphic settings be if I wanna get into Savage raiding and lets me see boss mechanics better?
!action Aspected Helios
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 100
Duration: 15s
Effect cannot be stacked.
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with scholar's Galvanize.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Diurnal Sect or Nocturnal Sect.
What are they up to then?
It specifically says "these actions don't stack with these actions", whicha re only the GCD heals
I mean I’m not asking generic shields here, just that spell.
What the game designer intended, which isn't always clearly stated in game
Ok thanks.
we are explaining why brutal shell wouldn't be included in that since you are still confused at the inclusion or exclusion of these spells
because it isn't a gcd healer shield
reminder
Right, I’m more interested if the same shield stacks or resets the timer with the new value.
the second one
Shields are all different buffs
Ok, that’s clear. Thanks.
if brutal shell stacked gunbreaker would be busted as fuck if it infinitely stacked
!action adloquium
in addition to making tank swaps with any gnb involved since they can rack it up
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 300
Additional Effect: Grants Galvanize to target, nullifying damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored. When critical HP is restored, also grants Catalyze, nullifying damage equaling 125% the amount of HP restored.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.
As the person said, it’s so low as tank it wouldn’t be able to stack
the same shield effect will overwrite and refresh the effect
This spell, for example, grants Galvanize, and Catalyze, two layer of shielding
it would still be really strong
Two separate buffs
Any tips on how to do a wall to wall for the first area of holminster as a sch? I keep dying despite having lv 80 gear… if the tank has lv 70 gear does it matter /that/ much here?
When would a GNB cast Heart of Stone on someone other than themselves?
Other tank
Was a big diff for me as DPS between 70 and 80 gear.
casting heart of stone on oneself as a GNB doesn't do anything special with brutal shell since it is applying the same effect
the brutal shell earned from heart of stone is the same buff, meaning it doesn ot stack
It is not possible for the tank to be under geared either because the dungeon has ilvl requirements
But I’m mostly curious when you’d cast it on someone else if you’re MT?
You don't
I see
Maybe a double tank buster?
I see a distinction between Nascent Flash and Heart. You always cast Flash on someone else and both sides get some sort of benefit. But the GNB picks a single person to get it.
Tanks has different tools to achieve similar result
yeah nascent flash is objectively jsut better if you cast it on someone else
but they are changing that in EW
Interesting, to what and who?
nascent flash is very imbalanced
they're changing nascent flash and raw intuition by doing the same thing
Nascent is only for others and healing is a set potency per weapon skill
Nascent flash becomes a targeted buff in Endwalker, with a flat healing potency
what vinyl said
In what way?
And Raw is solo version
!action nascent flash
Grants the effect of Nascent Flash. Also grants target party member Nascent Glint.
Nascent Flash Effect: Absorbs damage dealt as HP
Nascent Glint Effect: Restores HP equaling 50% of that recovered by Nascent Flash while also reducing damage taken by 10%
Duration: 6s
Shares a recast timer with Raw Intuition.
yeah nascent flash is just ridiculously strong since it scales on your damage done
and it's on the class with... on-demand high burst damage via infuriate and inner chaos
The self heal in nascent flash scale on your damage
in addition to just being strong regardless
and makes you absolutely immortal in aoe
So if you say, land two big AOE back to back on 6 enemies
I see. So in windwalker it’s a fixed potency per weaponskill attack?
Yes
You can recover absurd amount of health
yes
Cool.
Meaning no casual benediction yourself in trash
~~napkin math makes it seem just as strong though tbh
~~
So you got, like 4 weapon skills in that window or did I count wrong?
3
3
seems to be 3 since it's just a 6s duration
Ah
0, 2.5, 5
I counted 8
here let me grab the image
Endwalker nascent only works on weaponskill
It’s 8 seconds in Endewalker.
Shadowbringers nascent is all damage, including ability and auto attack
So four attacks.
what is the fastest and most efficient way to max out tomes for this event?
4*400 if you’re quick enough.
Blue mage turn two
My blue mage is low 😦 after that?
So I just started doing the Bozja Resistance Front quests.
And it's asking me to find a forgotten fragment.
I have a Forgotten Fragment of Preparation in my inventory.
Be the tank for the blues
They want Skill
But it's telling me that I'm still not complete.
Nothing else
Don't fight rank 3 or higher mobs without essences
I have full Level 80 gear and I'm getting beaten up pretty badly by the mobs.
Bozja ignore your stats
It seems like Warrior has two spells to pick from depending if self target or party target, where as the party target has a bit of a self-benefit. Though the self target isn’t as strong as GNB heart.
Don't solo rank 3 or higher mobs without essences and actions
Otherwise lvl 71 jobs will be dead in no time
Can you do Raw Intuition and Bloodwhetting at the same time? I know Nascent Flash shares cd with Raw Intution.
Ah. Thanks.

Is the healing potency different per tank? Is 250 warrior the same as 250 DRK?
Roughly, baring some formula stuff
Does didiam allow you to level all crafters at once?
Yes
For relic quest, how many Timeworn Artifacts do you get for a single PotD run?
A shadowbringers leve that basically gives you free money cause the biscuits are cheap as fuck
Rng chance for 1
3
ty
yeah DR is faster
can you only run DR when you're lvl 80?
Yes
Just created my first crafting macros for crafting Upland Wheat Flour and Garden Beet Sugar. Is there anyway to improve it?
wait... or do people not use macros for them and just craft them as NQ?
I craft them as HQ
But I don't use macros
personally dont bother with HQ flour and sugar
cos i can easily HQ biscuits without those being HQ
I'm using the ilvl 500 White Scrips gear, that would work with all NQ yeah?
It's a lv78 culinary leve
People make roughly like 1mil for a full stack of 100 leves
Or more if they hit the higher pay outs
Crafting
Crafting it is a pain tho
All of the items you can actually gather are from folklore lvl 80 nodes and if they're not hq you may as well give up on trying to make hq exarchic
If you dont want exarchic I'd just run pag a few times for the 505 gear and then run eden/nier
anyone know of a discord to search for raid groups that use voice coms?
Does anyone know if NG+ rewrites choices you made in your initial playthough? Like dialogue choices etc or will they be the same in your journal regardless
fairly certain the journal doesn't reflect dialogue choices
ng+ tho lets you choose different dialogue choices

Fuck me
Sorry
Why is discord mobile so fucking hard to use
It's generally not a good idea to solo a skirmish, right?
Depends which it is and what actions/essences you have
With correct actions /essences you can solo anything
I only have Spirit of the Martialist
I'm GNB 😦
Then aurora
Tanks are easy to solo on
And skirmishes work like fates that scale based how many people did it last time
Plus some have npcs to help and give buffs
Especially in zone 1
I always get ganged on and melt under combined DPS
How many leves recover in a single day?
Thanks
omg thats supposed to be a faster way of getting them (timeworn af)? that was terrible
I just ran it, it took a lot longer than that lol
ah
PF make take a while tho
Since you want 24 players
And currently it isn’t peak season for relic farming
queue through DF is pretty quick at least
Yeah
Is it faster to gather memories via FATEs or Bozja for the first step of the weapon?
Wth? im receiving reduced exp on ixali quests after leatherworker reached 50
oh

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but why does everyone go "o/" all the time?
It's a wave
What does it mean if the Grand Company supply/provisioning text is orange?
I was just wondering that myself actually.
what are some cheap ways to level DoH 60-70?
are levequests in kugane alright?
theyre not largescale
They're the main way to level
you could do the namazu beast tribe quests
Large scale leves are poor xp/leve
or custom deliveries
ok what are some ways to maximize the kugane levequests? just take whichever ones i can complete?
and yup im gonna unlock namazuu
See what's easiest/cheapest to make...OR what's a triple turn In leve
Does anyone know if there is a dyable version of the Lakeland gearsets
hey guys my free company is looking to buy a plot to build housing. Is there any way to buy a lot without the server timer? Like buying it from a free company directly or anything of the sort?
Nope
Is shield bash useful? Or am I ok if I take it out of hotbar?
No
It's very niche
Low blow is far superior
If you need another stun you have the other tank or melee
Nothing needs more than that
nice, thxs
It might be useful in like... early dungeons when u want to stun certain ads/bosses from doing their AoEs while your Low Blow is on cooldown
but like... later when u start doing wall to wall pulls, it gets hard to target the ads that's casting those particular AoEs
And bosses stopped being vulnerable to stuns
why is low blow better? It lasts less time, has bigger recast timer and it doesn't deal damage
Early dungeon ads like Haukke manor's succubi have large AoEs. Might as well disable them so u and your party can continue attacking them
any place i can ask for help with kupo bot?
Shield bash being a gcd kills it in every way
Low blow is an OCD. U can just use it inbetween your GCDs
It also doesn't break your 1-2-3 combo unlike Shield Bash
Honestly, forget shield bash, i can't remember the last time i used Low Blow anymore
Hello, I've been leveling goldsmith and putting my crafted stuff on the marketplace
Is there a reason people are buying
Oh, there is one particular instance where shield bash is useful. Stunning Castrum meridianum's Iron Giant boss at certain HP thresholds
... like i said... very niche
Stuns aren't overly needed and once you stun something 3x they become immune anyway
What's the next step to do Eden Savage if I know well my rotation and have ilvl 521? Learn from a guide and wait until there is a practice party in pf?
Interrupts are far more important as a tank
Yep

How hard does E12S becomes after statues? I only entered there once, learned on the fly and went up until that part. I'd like to know if I'd need a lot of learning to get that clear, or just know where not to step while doing good dps and I'm all good?
I don't having savage experience (only coils until T12) and I wanna know if there's a really big wall ahead of me, or if it's fairly easy
You have Lions left to do
Which will be another prog wall
As many people wipe there
and then you have, uh
Then phase 2
yeah
Lions is statues?
Statues is the lasers
yeah, we got until that
are lions and phase 2 way harder than what came before?
hope your healers like healing
Cause then the breaths go fucking everywhere and you die
Then phase 2 has the Relativies and Apocs
the hardsest mechanic in part 1 of the fight is lions
as said before, everyone needs to be on the same page
or it starts a cascading effect
90% of the time its a wipe
if it somehow doesnt target the healer on last lions, a lb3 can save the day
but dont bet on it
is it random whether you'll get a timeworn toadskin, boarskin or peisteskin map from level 50 gathering node?
Yes
do they have the same drop rate or are the higher level ones rarer?
thank you so much!
You could also not gather that map, deplete it by gathering other stuff and move on to the next node to find what you're looking for

How do I make a party for farming the heavensward mounts? Can't figure out how to make sure it's unsynced
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Toggle this before queing
So that lets me launch even with 8 people if it filled?
Yes
Confusing but ok
does it matter which city-state i do the ill concieved venture quest?
No
Heavensward extremes trials can easily be done with 3-4 people
Hello does anyone know skill Moon flute alternative?

so ye, go do them masked carnivale
It's only like 10 of them

is free trial PoTD limited?
no, you can do all of potd as a free trial user
but floors 101+ are challenge floors, and require you to enter with a fixed party
The best lvl 70 gear is the augmented scaeven gear, right?
cool. thanks
Should I meld the current BiS materia (the ones BiS seem to all use) onto my 520 aug exarchic gear for DRK or something else. Doing this because im getting cryptlurker for another class and am going to stick with 520 on my DRK but not sure what to meld onto it.
Just follow your meld priority until you're bis
Bis melds are very specific for stat tiering reasons
!faq balance
tyvm I'll check that out right now
Idk where else to say this but I’ve seen some people ask about the endwalker preorder if you don’t have either an NA or EU address for their payment page. I bought my code from humble bundle using a vpn so its page will show up for me. I used paypal to purchase. They charged me an extra 4USD for taxes but idk if that’s the same case from the SE store. Hope this helps someone!
Does retainer ilvl matter when trying to level them using Quick Exploration?
How do I put my retainer inside my apartment?
Does it not have a summon bell?
no but it matters when you wanna get good drops
Is there a way to make it so when I'm on my fisher I don't constantly reel the rod in? it's obnoxious and I want to stop doing it lol
that depends on what bait you're using
Lures will cycle an animation of either moving the rod around or slowly reeling it in, you can't disable it
Can you buy name change on free trial?
what's the best way to lvl up a job from lvl 1 to 30? I have menphina + friendship circlet + FC exp + Brand New Ring + Food
Potd i think
I dont think so
you need a registered account
Buy the complete ed when its on sale
hunting log until 15
highest available dungeon (if tank or healer)
POTD if DPS (assuming dungeon queues are bad)
so u can change name
Ok thanks for the suggestion
leves and fates can be good as well, if you're stuck or want variety, just find the highest level ones, i believe there is a wiki page
I'm having hard time with FATES as there's not a lot of ppl who participate in low levels
yeah, i had that, so far ive used leves and potd for alt classes
need help updated guide for monk rotation level 56
fates if i run across one but not targeting them
i only found a level 50 rotation
How does POTD work, because last time I played it resetted my job to lvl1
POTD for reaper would be a good way to learn skills from the ground up...
it doesn't reset your job to level 1
it is a roguelike, your level is independent in there, to the rest of the game
if you start at floor 1, then you level is 1, you level up inside POTD while playing it
at the end of each 10 floors, you get exp reward which goes to your class, outside of POTD
its what FF14 calls a Deep Dungeon
Heaven on high is the same
TSDS has a series of video guides on it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdRz5DH2irc&list=PL21TqP6uj3D8zNb9y8YIB-0piellBHz4p
Palace of the Dead Guide - Part One: What is it?
Hello and welcome to the first part in a small series of videos designed to teach new players everything they need to know about the Deep Dungeon (aka Palace of the Dead).
In this video I explain what exactly the Palace of the Dead is and why it's worth doing.
The music in this video is Voya...
How do u guys aim the cannon in castrum
South Shroud, Quarrymill, there is an NPC there you have to talk to
there are usually a few ppl around so should be easy to spot
yea I'm in here and I've done POTD like 2 times before
I forgot how to enter it
I see, thank you very much!
does extracting materia from 100% spiritbond gear have any effect on the gear itself other than reducing spiritbond down to 1%?
no
so i should always do it when spiritbond hits 100% then?
yup

Found the "Brick by Brick" and completed it. As for the others, are they visible on the map or do I have to fly over to check each location? None of them seem up atm... https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2021/Theres_Golems_in_Those_Hills/l18qvanob6
So I saw that blue mage farming is pretty fast to get the moogle tomestones. I just unlocked the blue mage and am at level 1. Would it be worth it to try to level it to 50 for farming? Or just focus on farming MSQ duties?
You need to level it up to 70, which doesn't take long if someone helps you but you then also need specific spells which can take a little bit of time to get. Once you have them you're good to go really. It IS an investment tho.
trying to spawn elite mark brontes, do i have to eat food in any of his spawn locations or a specific one? assuming his timer is up
Thank you for the response! Wow, that definitely sounds like an investment.
Ppl in ffxiv call mobs as "adds"?
Yea
in many mmos, its not a ff14 specific term
Hello kupos, looking for some clarification on the free 30 days when buying the game. If I have not yet capped out the the free trial, if I purchase the game, will those 30 days start ticking down immediately?
i use them interchangeably, all my friends who play various mmos know what i mean
yeah usually "adds" means mobs that add into a fight, or mobs that patrol into you / accidentally get pulled
The 30 days start ticking when you apply the code, assuming pc, to your mogstation acct
in my non FF experience
ps4 automatically applies complete/starter to your acct. so it'd start immediately
@twilit arch Thank you, I asked customer support but the answer wasn't entirely clear. Just 6 more levels to go! lol
"adds" term generally came from raids/dungeon bosses in other mmos
adds were "additional enemies" that came in during boss mechanics, and just kinda evolved into anotehr term for general trash mobs
Is there a good guide for people transitioning from WoW to FFXIV, as far as terminology and other nuances?
you only need to do one of the fates not all of them
im sure there are some youtube videos
tbh, ive come across from playing various MMOs over the years, and just googled what i didn't understand
!faq newplayertip
prolly some in there
but 90% of it is kinda universal MMO stuff
yeah i'm kind of just playing blind and really enjoying it
most of the stuff is pretty self explanatory tho, people arent very creative with labels
only thing i've looked up is my class's stats and making sure i'm not missing anything rotation wise
oh, yeah, Aggro = Enmity
kinda a weird one
heck you dont even really need to worry about class stats
just click the button to choose best gear every few levels
oh i certainly do
only need to pay attention later
you could even pass into higher difficulty content with just ilvl if you are good enough on your rotation
The irregular tomstone can be farmed even unsync or not? What u suggest to spam play on ARR/HW?
coils turn 2 you need to have a party
I usually spam castrum for the ironwork tombstone but i myself not sure if this is the best
I saw some better gear with "odin mantle" as crafting mats
coils turn 2 has so far been the most agreed upon best farm for moogle event tomestones
But can he farmed unsync too or only sync?
Curious though, why do ppl suggest ironwork tombstone when odin gears are better
Synched only
because poetics gear is super easy to get and I believe higher ilvl
Oki thx
Farming odin mats when the game throws tomes at u is silly
Ok
Especially considering mid Heavensward ur gonna use dungeon gear anyway
Here an example of an mmo server where no one knows what "adds" mean
honestly yeah you get poetics like water and the gear lasts half way through the next expansions leveling so like why bother putting in effort for the harder stuff
also theres poetics gear at the end of each expansion and they last half way in next expansion its not just an arr thing
Wait don’t WOW people use Adds?
are there specific enemies i should target with the blast in the diadem? or is it all random and i just use it when its up?
kamuy next i guess
Each enemy type drops different items, personally I make a point to always target the same one to minimize inventory bloat
They're all of reasonably similar value except the sprites
i see, but there arent like rare, valuable ones that i definitely need to hold a charge for?
oh, sprites are worse?
ah okay
thx!
btw, i checked up the crafting mats outside of diadem needed for the lvl 20 recipies. "Acidic Secretions" seems to be super expensive (needed for CUL) right?
the other stuff is cheap but those ones seem to be quite the outlier
non Diadem mats for ishgard stuff are like that but you wont do too many lv20 stuff so pay away …
the 60+ stuff get cheaper
oh thats nice to know
It's probably expensive because it's a mob drop
If you have a combat retainer they can probably gather them for you
that does make sense yea. gonna check, my SMN retainer is like lvl 55 atm
is there a list with all the bozja mounts and how to get them?
6 iirc, cerberus from dr savage; bike from all field notes; zebra dino thing from dalriada, 1 robot from 180 clusters, 1 robot from normal dr; 1 robot from lockbox
hmm 6:30 am ST, i wonder why i cant get a duty pop, weird..
lol, i sat in queue for POTD floors 21-30 once, for 35 minutes, while doing other stuff
then decided to requeue for 1-10, instant pop
entire group was levelling new alt classes
and we all continued all the way to floor 50 together
ended at 5am
and i had work later that day, rip my sleep

haha nah
10am
but still, only about 4 hours sleep, oof
was dead that day
lotsa coffee
anyone awake to help me with blue mage?
Cant ask friendship to players of other servers?
On the same datacenter, yes
Mmm i mean im from light like him but he is om phoenix and me on odin
Mmm ok cuz im trying but the send friendship dont appear, i switched from odin to phoenix but nope, i miss something(dumb) probably
u can cross world
Are u on trial?
Nope full version
is gshade against tos? if not, does it heavily affect performance? and if not (this is the last i swear), can someone suggest me any good presets?
I can't tell u if it's against tos but performance really depends on ur pc and which preset. There's light presets specifically labeled for gameplay. They shouldn't affect too much.
Artistic gpose shaders will do a hit tho
Will the current augmented revelation gear be changed immediately when endwalker comes out or after a while?
nice, thxs. I just got 1 robot from dr and it's sold at 3 mill in market, is that the hardest to get between the 3 robots?
ahh, thanks! i have an i5-9300H and GTX 1650, so i'll probably be fine i guess with the lighter presets
Ye that should be fine
I'm changing Party List Sorting, but it doesn't change it
also why are there 4 times the order?
You can set the list based on if youre a tank, healer or dps. Beyond that you can sort exactly which roles are placed where on the list
I put melee dps at the bottom in order of best drg partner cause tethering a ranged dps is cancer sometimes and loses a lot of uptime
If I own the game on both PS5 and PC, I only need to pay one sub to still be able to play on both platforms right?
yes
is there a moogle blue mage weapon ?

How to skip the castrum cutscene?
Can't
Sad
There is not
Closest thing would be incendario or friar rush which are both bombs.
It's for the better
Used to be skippable, ppl finished the dungeon while others were still watching
Yeah i noticed a yt vid that can skip
It at least allows sprouts to actually see the story
Prae and Castrum are on their own duty roulette
Also, if that's the case they can just make cutscene unavailable unless if there are new players doing msq
So with what we have now, while new players might take a while longer to get match made
Not that i hate the cutscene though, i love the break time between fights. Can multitask
They are guranteed to get a team that won't force them to skip cutscene
To make up for the longer dungeon time, prae and Castrum duty roulette gives very lucrative exp bonus as a reward for players who are willing to help out new players
Good to hear 
Rip
But castrum is scary for me when i was first playing the msq last week, the mobs were strong and were like ants crawling. Plus all the players are strong af and just rushed through the mobs chaotically
what's the droprate from the robot mount that drops in delubrum?
whats the pacing for the 2.x patches, how long would it take to finish comfortably?
80 msq
IIRC 4 trials inside those msq, and some dungeons
most talking only, but it could take u longer is u start doing too all the optional content that unlocks during those patches (trials in extreme difficulty and raids)
and lots of optional dungeons
Are there any good crafter power leveling guides out there?
is it possible to upgrade an item into HQ? or does it have to be HQ from the getgo?
i saw a lodestone post from february saying that pvp has been removed from the free trial, is that still the case?
It has been removed yes
Due to people abusing FT accounts, yeah
yeah thats what i read, but it said temporary and it was months ago, guess they still havent found a fix. friend of mine is in trial and is apparently farming prae for mogtomes when i suggested rival wings, said he coudlnt cuz on trial and I was confused 'cause i could definitely pvp when i was on trial last year.
ok, dumb AF question inc but im lost: how do i get this item https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/3212df5b125/ with HQ?
i cant find it my crafting log and it doesnt exist on the marketboard
i can only obtain the NQ version from vendors
do you have a leatherworker leveled that can access lv45 recipes?
should be yeah

Yeah, but you can also check universalis for marketboard pricing
once you reach the right level
hm weird, but i cant find it on my MB ye
oh, there are apps for easier price checking?
theyre not super reliable
they do help
they dont update in real time or anything, i think it relies on players having something installed so that the website updates
like, for example, ramuh, my server, apparently last updated 5 days ago
so at this point this information is severely outdated
aye
but i assume it gives you a decent idea if an item is in the >1k gil range or 50k+ etc
since i have, as you may have noticed by now, 0 clue about this game still
i suppose so
i was going to ask, why do you want an HQ version of this item
according to online, HQ is just +3 extra control, which isnt a lot. especially at lvl 48.
following a crafting guide for ishgard and the lvl 50 gearswap needs those to hit breakpoints
You could go to a different server on your DC and check their marketboards
since you just need to hit breakpoints, you could consider slotting in materia in the accessories to hit them instead
since the difference between NQ and HQ belt is just 3 control
nu mou dont have a beast tribe
but they are sometimes associated with the pixies, which do have a mount
good idea yea. but i guess i ll first lvl all my dudes to 50 and then see where i go from there
oh yeah, its recommended to level all crafters roughly in parallel
since by end game youre gonna need to craft multiple things from each job
to, say, make end game gear or something
culinarian is probably the only exception. thats mostly on its own.
There's no Nu Mou Beast Tribe
The 3 tribes in ShB are Pixies (mount = flying pig), Dwaves (mount = tank), and Qitain (mount = ... ... a bee? a worm? a jar?)
not sure if anyone else has replied but yes, the golden robot is the hardest one
it’s the great serpent of ronka :>
A friend finished all.17 relics and never seen the Gabriel mount drop
Mean while I got it in like 10 runs
I'm insanely lucky in bozja
I also managed to get the white raptor with flappy chicken wings
The only mount I'm really missing is the 2 seater from finishing field notes
Are these fake bunny ears?
Yup, you can get them from the gold saucer iirc
means i can be a bunny girl cat girl
Fox girl cat girl too
Fun fact, vieras can wear the werewolf ears from mog. Not sure about tamamo headband

Which spells do I need for the blue mage coil 2 thingy? I have them all except missile I think I just wanna make sure
if you don't have missile, I think death5 works
Leveling up Alt class from 71 to 80 is best in Bozja, right? Just doing random fates and CEs
For the extreme minimum needed:
Missile or Level 5 Death
Whistle
Tingle
Moon Flute
Final Sting
For more damage:
Aetherial Mimicry (DPS)
Matra Magic
Nightbloom
Triple Trident
Surpanakha
please someone help, im trying to do msq but have been stuck for an hour because i just cant figure out how i have to walk please if anyone knows
i keep hitting dead ends
take the bridge behind vidofnier
There's two bridges at Anyx Trine on separate floors. The upper one goes on top of the mountain, the lower one goes into the mountain.
you want the lower bridge
ye that one catchs a lot of new players
map can be... less that useful there hahaha
yeah the map also looks very very confusing tthere
Hi, would you consider 2.44 recast too little for rdm?
RDM doesn't really benefit from Spell Speed too much due to, among other smaller details, potential overcapping of mana for using manafication right when it's ready, so 2.50 or very slightly below that (2.48) is preferred.
