questions-and-help

[faint flare]

Yes

[white bronze]

Does Blu have BIS?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

Everything has BiS

[brisk viper]

It stands for best in slot

So whatever is the best for that situation is the bis

[sweet leaf]

maybe it's when I use some Medica 2 during a raid-wide damage

[brisk viper]

:O

[open coral]

The only difference with BLU is that their BiS doesn't include a particular weapon.

[sweet leaf]

doesn't BLU have like 3 different weapons

[faint flare]

Like 6

Or 7

[open coral]

Even that shouldn't be hurting you as long as you're not spamming it constantly, and using your other AoE healing as well.

[twilit arch]

they have 6

[open coral]

The only requirement for BLU weapon is that it has 2 materia meld slots... which like, three or four of the weapons do.

Since their weapons have no other stats.

[sweet leaf]

my other AoE healing is Assize and Afflatus Rapture, and I've been advised by other people here to avoid using lilies unless every other ogcd heal i have is on cooldown

[white bronze]

Ohh I can put materia on Blu weapons

[brisk viper]

Weird design

[white bronze]

I didnt Kno

[sweet leaf]

i do use lilies in downtime, like when the boss is untargetable

[faint flare]

Lilies are higher value than your other gcd heals

[brisk viper]

Whm optimization is wack

[faint flare]

Off globals > lilies > other gcds

[sweet leaf]

yeah i know

[faint flare]

And you use those lilies to weave off globals when need

[open coral]

But you shouldn't be avoiding them entirely

Like, Rapture has higher use priority than M2

[white bronze]

So best 70 gear is Savage raid gear 🤦🏿‍♂️

[open coral]

And Solace has higher use priority than C2

[faint flare]

It's a mix

Omega, scaevan and their job gear

With like a random ass elemental armour +2 piece

[sweet leaf]

i usually weave after regen, unless the boss is in a high damage phase

[faint flare]

Depending on your role

Lilies are higher value than regen cause of misery

[sweet leaf]

i don't even remember who it was that told me using lilies was a waste of dps, but i've been playing according to that for a long time now

guess i'll change it up then

[faint flare]

It's only a waste of.dps if you're using them just for the sake of using them

[open coral]

Yeah, don't not use lilies. It's bad for your MP

That could easily be a big part of why you're struggling, at least with WHM

[faint flare]

Using them to replace a cure/medica/regen is a DPS gain/neutral

Misery is potency protection

For when you need to heal

[sweet leaf]

gotcha

[white bronze]

Wait

I got dragon voice from chimera not rams voice ...🤦🏿‍♂️

[sweet leaf]

you get both

[open coral]

Yes. It does both.

But you have to see it use both

[leaden ginkgo]

so u get 3 items in the event and ur done with whole event?

[open coral]

Huh?

I mean, if 3 things is all you want, then sure.

[leaden ginkgo]

brick mountian

there nothing else they offer

[open coral]

Oh that event

Yeah

That's it for the DQ event

[leaden ginkgo]

those 3 items u done

[open coral]

It's a "seasonal" event

So there's only a limited set of rewards

[leaden ginkgo]

most easy quest of my life lol

[open coral]

Seasonal events are like that.

They're not meant to be difficult. They're meant to be reward dispensers.

[peak dove]

can i use a mount before level 20 if i own one?

[open coral]

No

You must complete the "My Little Chocobo" quest in order to be able to use mounts.

[heavy wadi]

if you already have the chocobo, yes

[open coral]

You literally cannot have the chocobo before level 20

[heavy wadi]

mounts are not level restricted on alt jobs.

[heavy wadi]

that does not necessarily seem to be what they’re asking, aura.

[open coral]

You can have store mounts and sub reward mounts before 20

[peak dove]

i got the complete collectors edition so i should have the mounts that came with that

[open coral]

But you can't use them until after completing "My Little Chocobo"

[peak dove]

thanks

so once i complete that quest i can just equip it and use it from there?

[faint flare]

Yes

[civic kernel]

30 hours no mogstation items my mail is clear and I only have the one character I've been trying to contact sqaure to no avail any advice?

[real prairie]

Hey folks, can any spare me a few mins to do the Big Keep trial? Want to get Missle for Blue mage please and thanks

[pure zenith]

you'll have better luck just posting up a party finder in game saying you're going for the spell

[real prairie]

this here?

[pure zenith]

yes

[real prairie]

sweet thanks

[civic kernel]

So I was thinking about the mogstation purchase I haven't received in about 30 hours now if I were to purchase something else would that possibly push the system/service to give me the stuff I'm waiting on on top of the new stuff I get?

[toxic pond]

Are they hosting an all day maintenance the day before Endwalker early access?

[civic kernel]

Idk I'm just thinking of stupid ideas while sqaure support get back to me

[hasty musk]

should be

[hasty musk]

probably not

[heavy wadi]

Yes, maint will be 24hrs

[pure zenith]

were you actually charged for your first purchase?

[civic kernel]

The mog shop be jank and it makes me sad I just want teeny y'shtola

Yep

I was charged

Money removed from my account

[boreal storm]

Did you try the request button at the delivery moogle

[spiral mango]

question, how do I check if I have completed all adventure guild trials ?

[civic kernel]

Did it 147 times yesterday and about 50 times today before I gave up

[ripe hound]

When does EW begin again?

Is it like around midnight?

[obsidian patio]

Unknown

[ripe hound]

The time is same for JP NA and EU right?

Ah, I see

[twilit arch]

assuming its the same time as 5.0's maint, it ended 2am PDT

[ripe hound]

I see

Date is announced to be 18 or 19?

[obsidian patio]

19

[twilit arch]

start would be 18th

of the maint

[white bronze]

Is that friend kill mobs the only way to get Blu to 70 ?

[obsidian patio]

You can kill mobs yourself

[boreal storm]

No, it’s just easier

[ripe hound]

I see, for NA, server would open at around the beginning of 19th?

[twilit arch]

yes

[ripe hound]

Like around 2 am on the 19th?

Got it

[twilit arch]

servers would be up by 2am pdt 19th, assuming again

same times

[white bronze]

That's prob gonna take 5 years lol

[ripe hound]

I’m probably gonna go sleep

[obsidian patio]

It won’t

[ripe hound]

And play the game on Friday

[boreal storm]

You do know how BLU works right?

[twilit arch]

blue mage has boosted exp from open world mobs

[obsidian patio]

I managed 60-70 in a single day with solo killing

[ripe hound]

Even if a friend boost you, if it’s not BLU, open world leveling is still really slow

[sweet leaf]

i got blue to 65 all on my own in like 4 weeks, and then with a friend level 80, i got from 65-70 in like a week. it won't take forever

[ripe hound]

BLU mostly rely on the boost to level

We had 3 friends, got 3 BLU from lv 1-70 in around 3 hours

But yeah, I think getting one BLU to max level will take around 1.5 hour?

[leaden ginkgo]

^^

1-2 hours

[white bronze]

I don't have friends unfortunately lol

[boreal storm]

Ask a rando

[leaden ginkgo]

look for peps in PF

surprisingly people are kind

[sweet leaf]

from 65-70, my friend didn't have a lot of patience. we spent 1 hour per day in the fringes leveling me up, i earned about 1 level per day

we hadn't reached shadowbringers yet

[leaden ginkgo]

do u guys know how i can replicate this?

[sweet leaf]

replicate?

[boreal storm]

You mean like have all class glam of those?

[leaden ginkgo]

yknow like get fhe same thing instead of the ol boring one

[sweet leaf]

i'm not sure we know what you mean by "instead of the ol boring one"

[leaden ginkgo]

idk how to explain it

like the window that opens when you talk to a merchant

can you change how it looks

[ripe hound]

Isn’t this a mod?

A UI mod?

[leaden ginkgo]

i dunno

[sweet leaf]

oh i think that's in settings

[boreal storm]

You have 3 default menu settings

[sweet leaf]

i've never touched mine

[boreal storm]

Light, black, blue

[ripe hound]

But yeah, no other options

In vanilla FFxiv

[leaden ginkgo]

guess it's time to get into modding

What do you call that NPC standing in Limsa selling you iron works gear again?

[boreal storm]

Sundry splendors

[faint flare]

Sundry splendors

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I was wondering if his question is “how do I make NPC’s sort stuff like Sundry Splendors?”

I remember the first time seeing Sundry Splendors, I was like “man society really have evolved”

[tiny crag]

Okay, so I

im trying to mine HQ items that spawn at 6am. it has 15 chance to drop. i increase it as much as I can to 45. my perception is 500 and it requires 300 to see. how do i increase my odds of hq reward?

[faint flare]

It caps at 15%

[spiral mango]

in terms of housing, an estate is the most expensive ?

ty

[wanton niche]

is there like a pictured list of the current event, where i can see what mount etc looks like?^^

[faint flare]

Pins

[tiny crag]

What does that mean, if you do not mind me asking? Does that mean using an ability like Unearth II won't really change the drop rate for it? I just gotta mine and hope?

[faint flare]

No matter your perception, it won't go higher than 15% without skill use or node bonuses

[sweet leaf]

there are ways to make it go higher, but you'll need to level up to learn those actions
*not the base chance, that stays the same

you can use actions to increase the chance at each gathering attempt

you increasing it from 15 to 45 is what I went through until i did my quests and leveled up to learn leaf turn 3/unearth 3

[atomic jewel]

could I get my level 20 BLK to 74ish before EW for doing MSQ

[boreal storm]

If you put in the work/time

[tiny crag]

Ah, okay! That makes sense. Too bad my Unearth II doesn't stack. Alrighty, guess I'll keep at it and just use what I got. Thanks Vinyl! 🙂

[sweet leaf]

Nald'Thal's council can stack with Unearth for a small bit of extra chance

[hasty musk]

BLM, not BLK, and yeah probably

[atomic jewel]

gotcha

[sweet leaf]

the only thing i hate is Mind of the Mountaineer not stacking with Unearth

i don't think i've ever used MotM

[atomic jewel]

would I still have enough time to do msq

[hasty musk]

depends on how hard and efficiently you're grinding for exp

[queen fern]

Oh, quick question about Singing Clusters.

[sweet leaf]

are you on a preferred server with the road to 70 buff?

[queen fern]

Can you still do the daily/weekly quests even after you complete that particular step of the Anima Weapon?

[atomic jewel]

nope, probably not

[boreal storm]

There aren’t any preferred worlds atm

[atomic jewel]

my thaumaturge is level 20 rn, should I just do dungeons or POTD

[tiny crag]

Ah! I'm not too far away, lvl63. Cool! Thanks for letting me know.

[hasty musk]

dungeons if you queue in in 10-15 minutes or less, potd otherwise

[sweet leaf]

at level 63 you can upgrade Unearth 2 to Unearth 3 by doing your latest job quest
Unearth 3 will increase HQ by a minimum of 30%, but can go higher depending on your perception

[atomic jewel]

gotcha

also should I be worried about not finishing SHB msq before EW?

[hasty musk]

go at your own pace

[atomic jewel]

cuz ive been acting like i needed to doit

[hasty musk]

EW's not going anywhere

and even if you want to raid you'll have a while before the raid tier comes out

play your game, not the game you think other people are playing

[atomic jewel]

gotcha

[boreal storm]

The only person you need to care about is you

[faint flare]

No

[obsidian patio]

Yes

You just won’t be able to obtain more until 6.1 when they add the next unreal

[lone drift]

whats the best way to get higher item lvl? i cant do the msq in "the grand cosmos" since my item lvl is 412 and not 430

[hasty musk]

did you get your job gear

[open coral]

You can either farm tomestones of allegory/phantasmagoria and buy higher ilevel gear, go into Eden 1-4 and grab tokens, or buy HQ Exarchic gear off the market board

[obsidian patio]

Did you grab the i430 job gear from Grenoldt in the Tempest? If not then grab that, and then spend tomestones of Allegory/Revelation in Eulmore on i490/520 stuff

You can also choose to spend Gil on i510 Exarchic gear from the marketboard. Just make sure it’s

[carmine oriole]

if i que for normal raid with level 80 job that only has iLvl400, i wont be getting ShB raid right? but still got the allegory

[lone drift]

do i just search exarchic gear on marketboard?

[open coral]

You won't get into any instance that you don't have the ilevel for, no.

[ripe hound]

Btw after EW’s early access ends, on Nov 23, will there be a small server maintenance?

[obsidian patio]

Or just click the appropriate gear slots on the marketboard.

They should be at the top of the list for each category

[ripe hound]

Or literally nothing happens on Nov 23?

[obsidian patio]

I can’t remember if Official release date had a maintenance for SHB

[mild temple]

What level does a secondary job have to be get it's ShB relic weapon?

[obsidian patio]

If it did then it was short

[open coral]

There may or may not be maintenance on the 22nd evening. There was for ShB.

[carmine oriole]

noice, thank you!

[faint flare]

80

[regal pawn]

80 pretty sure

[mild temple]

Dang. Gotta go from 75 to 80 before EW.

[ripe hound]

I see, was it for some hot fix? Or just maintenance for no reason?

[open coral]

It was a scheduled maintenance.

[ripe hound]

I see

[tiny crag]

Ah! I'm a lot of class quests behind because I hadn't realized DoH/L had them. I've just completed the lvl50 ones. I'll go start my next one now, thanks man! 🙂

[ripe hound]

Also new jobs don’t get Bozja relic right?

[white bronze]

I can't seem to get to the timesworn Curtana ..

[faint flare]

No

[white bronze]

All the doors are blocked off

[faint flare]

Relics are never added retroactively

[ripe hound]

Yeah, make sense

[white bronze]

I'm doin alot for this Blu 😅

[sweet leaf]

no problem, good luck

[wanton niche]

i just did the questline for the fairy healer, but i cant equip the stone somehow

[faint flare]

You need a weapon equippable by both arcanist and scholar

So a low level book

[white bronze]

I can find any relics for the zodiac weapons

[boreal storm]

Use a guide

[leaden ginkgo]

guys is there quick gear at lvl 80 so im somewhat relevant? im finally 80 and im mostly focusing on getting my relic done before EW and Bozja is a little rough with my current gear lol

unless it scales

[faint flare]

Pins

Also gear in bojza doesn't matter

You're hard set to 430

[leaden ginkgo]

okay i didnt realize that

damn lol

i felt like i would get one shot though?

[faint flare]

All that matters is the enemy rannk

Rank 4+ mobs need a tank to tank it

[teal ice]

How do I join a wazoo and limsa

[leaden ginkgo]

like i leveled my SAM through Bozja after hitting 80 on my DRG as i wanted to main SAM, but leveling SAM through Bozja i was getting one shot by critical enemies or whatever

[faint flare]

Rank 3 need essences to kill fastee

If you're dying in CEs you're failing mechanics

They're proper boss fights

With mechanics

[leaden ginkgo]

okay then its a mechanics thing? because yeah i had no idea what was going on at all

in any of the fights lol

[boreal storm]

Don’t stand in bad

[faint flare]

Don't stand in the telegraphed bad

Everything is telegraphed someway

And it's all stuff you should have seen at this point

In some form

[white bronze]

I did and it'still not popping up

[fallen niche]

So I bought ffxiv on steam, and I'm thinking of just buying it on the square enix store so I don't need to deal with a bunch of steam stuff, would I just need to buy the base game and log in with my account that has shadowbringers and the endwalker pre-order bonuses?

[faint flare]

Once you touched steam you can't ever swap to non steam on that account

[obsidian patio]

You need to buy the expansions from steam since you started on steam

Non-steam codes for PC will not work for you.

[boreal storm]

What step are you on, and are you on a lvl 50 or higher ARR Job

[white bronze]

im current on all msq

all jobs cept blu and some crafters are 80

[boreal storm]

The relic step

[white bronze]

the first step

im at the coordinates on the wiki

i ve been havin issues with quest for a about a year

ill give up on it for now

[white bronze]

yup i have that on my screen

ill try another day

[fallen niche]

what are the chances of getting an aged spear shaft from desynthing an aged spear?

is it just more worth it/cheaper to buy the shaft off the market?

[leaden ginkgo]

When doing the deliverance quest for the Ixal beast tribes, do you get bonus xp for submitting HQ items?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Kk

[boreal storm]

If it doesn’t mention HQ, don’t make it

[spiral inlet]

Would there be any substantial reason to hit 90 at launch

[leaden ginkgo]

so do you get to keep all relic appearances? like if i like my current relic and glow do i get to keep it once it changes (does it even change or do you just get an entirely new weapon?)

[twilit arch]

you can buy replicas of previous steps

[leaden ginkgo]

ok cool

[twilit arch]

cash in on the crafting market early

and to get prepped for savage release

[scarlet sandal]

Kind of a weird question maybe but if I own the special collector's edition on my PS4 but not on Steam would I lose access to like the collector's edition exclusive item

[twilit arch]

no

those items are acct. bound

[cursive ridge]

another reason to level up early is so you cannot get spoiled on the story

[spiral inlet]

Hmmm will that be gated within the first two weeks

[scarlet sandal]

I want to get the PC version since I have a computer now

But like I don't want to re buy the collector's edition

[twilit arch]

CE only ever needs to be bought for one platform

[scarlet sandal]

That's good to know

[kind tree]

do my exp bonuses apply when quick synthesizing?

[fallen niche]

So is there like a shopping list for all the things I need to grab to make the "perfect x" stuff for "where for art thou Zodiac"

Like what to gather and stuff

[twilit arch]

nope

[mellow gate]

I'm just doing some shadowbringers stuff and see these gemstone traders - is there any benefit to unlocking higher ranks with them? And can you see how many fates you've completed to earn rank 3?

[faint flare]

They get more items in the shop

It takes 66 fates to max out a zone

If you max them all, you get vendors in eulmore open up which has all the items and some extra

[mellow gate]

Ohhhh okay? Is there a place to see how many I've done towards this or do i get a notification when I've completed an area? 😮

[faint flare]

Travel > shared fates

[spice kraken]

can i have 2 apartments or do i have to sell one?

[faint flare]

Only 1

[spice kraken]

what happens to my furniture?

[faint flare]

You need to manually give up your apartment

Before buying the new one

There's no apartment relocation

[spice kraken]

is there an npc that sells glamour prisms or only in the market board?

[faint flare]

Grand company people

200 seals per

[spice kraken]

thats a lot, i'll just buy it of the market, thanks!

[heady knot]

any ways to see whats on demand to sell for whole data center

kinda want to craft to make gil rn

[rancid onyx]

is there a way to see my security question? i totally forgot it

[scarlet sandal]

While I hate to lose the Pocket Change income from people like you who buy off market it is actually far cheaper and easier to get them off grand company

[patent citrus]

people are different

not all people have those seals to spare

[rancid onyx]

im pretty sure you can get like 600+ from a single piece of gear from dungeons

im trying to install the launcher from the full game in steam but its stuck at "preparing files for install" anyone know why?

i have the free trial launcher installed

[spice kraken]

go farm seals for me to buy your prisms

[scarlet sandal]

I mean like you're going to be consistently copping out on seals not having enough things to buy

[spice kraken]

20k gil for 99 prisms is easier than farming 20k seals

as youve said, pocket change

[scarlet sandal]

I mean yeah I'm not going to complain about getting the gil i get
but it always feels like such a scam buying them from the market when you get thousands and thousands from Seals

[spice kraken]

im lvl 69, if i was 80 it would be way easier to farm seals running unsynced dungeons

[patent citrus]

yeah if you aren't running all those roulettes daily, you'll rarely cap it

leveling roulette gives quite a bit

for now, better use those seals to rank up your GC

increase your seal cap to 90k

[spice kraken]

i already hit first lieutenant with the flames and maelstrom, need to wait 2 weeks before switching to twin adders

[patent citrus]

most people probably would only stick to 1 GC

[spice kraken]

what can i say, i really like that pirate hat

[fast talon]

question about light farming for zodiac weapons, the guide im following says that there is a window where certain duties will give bonus light and then this changes every 2 hours, how do you know which duties will give a bonus?

[patent citrus]

try and error

finish 1 dungeon, then see if it gives bonus

I would recommend to just stick to trying sastasha/tam-tara/copperbell

if none of those 3 gives bonus, just spam tam-tara

[kind tree]

How do I make 'Workshop Supplies' as CUL? I dont see it in my recipe book

[cursive ridge]

is there any good use for PLD's Cover? it seems like a button made to save BLM who stand in the fire

[fast talon]

so at any 2 hour window, only one dungeon will give bonus?

[patent citrus]

I don't quite remember, niche and dependent on the savage floor you run

afaik it's extremely useful in E5S back then from what I've read

but I never experienced doing it myself

[patent citrus]

yeah, that's how it works, it will cut down your run by half

so if you are lucky that sastasha is the bonus, you only need to run it 20 times instead of 40

[faint flare]

No, other than saving that one dumb ass

It got mega nerfed into the ground from stormblood

[cursive ridge]

considering there isn't always a PLD in the party, no boss encounter will be designed in such way that this is truly needed

[fast talon]

ive actually been spamming aurum vale

2 mins per run isnt bad but then i realized its 40+ runs without the bonus

[patent citrus]

well at least aurum gears gives more seals than sastasha right?

if you want to farm seals at the same time that is

[fast talon]

not a particular end goal of mine but its a nice bonus since one step after this requires seals too

[patent citrus]

but it can be tedious to hand in gears 40 times cause you can't carry duplicates

[fast talon]

i just mash numpad 0 for that anyway

[cursive ridge]

doesn't it default to "No" on the pop up?

[fast talon]

only if youre trying to turn in something HQ i think

[lost depot]

quick question

so im trying to do the MSQ "It has to be pirates" and it requires a party, I cant seem to find the people needed to make a full party

how do i go about doing a story skip for it?

[patent citrus]

type /dutyfinder

[lost depot]

/dutyfinder

[patent citrus]

and queue it

in game

[lost depot]

ooo my bad

oooh ive been in queue lol

its just i dont have the other ads, the mage, or the healer

[faint flare]

Just wait

[lost depot]

and i cant progress until i finish it because its an msq

[faint flare]

It pops eventually

[lost depot]

rip

[floral flicker]

how do you find your classes?

[lost depot]

i waited for like 15 mins earlier

[faint flare]

Dps ques are longer on average

use these 3 sound settings and do something else

the duty popped sound effect will still play even if you alt-tabbed if use these 3

[rustic badge]

did they announce any changes in the relic/anima weapon process with EW?

[cursive ridge]

Lucid Dreaming restores the same amount of mana for every job, right?

it feels so much stronger on a healer

it's probably because of piety regen that makes it feel stronger, right

[atomic jewel]

I like summoner, but im not sure if I should continue to play BLM or SAM

I already have a level 75 magic class

[faint flare]

Yes

[patent citrus]

just change gearset whenever you feel like

[atomic jewel]

But blm also looks fun

[keen mantle]

Anything else I can do with old blues and greens besides Desynth or turn into GC seals?

[faint flare]

Piety increases passive mana regen

[atomic jewel]

Sorry for my questions bye

Btw*

you start to focus and improve on one role/class if you want to advance to savage

other than that, you are free to change gearset whenever you feel like

[patent citrus]

I heard it's already nerfed compared to when it was current

someone told me it used to cost more than 20k poetics

[cursive ridge]

it actually can be a good idea to level multiples of the same role, because they share most of their gear

for example, if all your casters become higher than level 60, you can safely toss ironworks caster gear knowing you'll never need it again, saving you inventory slots

[vivid karma]

Is there a way to turn off the mp bar while still keeping the HP bar

For classes that don’t need mana

[cursive ridge]

and when you buy a piece of gear for one job, you can use it on all jobs of that role

[patent citrus]

put your gauge on top of your MP

[cursive ridge]

for some reason, no

[patent citrus]

that way you won't see your MP, but your gauge instead

[vivid karma]

Huh

[cursive ridge]

what annoys me more is how half the party frame's real estate is taken by the MP bar, which really shouldn't have equal standing with HP bar, which is miles more important

[atomic jewel]

I see, well ill get my black mage leveled up a but

Bit*

[floral flicker]

will your mail show up in the corner even in vistiting world

[split dust]

The ishgard restoration is over?

[faint flare]

The building yes

Turn ins no

[split dust]

How it works? I managed to get a lot of itens in diadem, how do i level my crafters with them?

[faint flare]

Grade 4 receipes

Turn into potkin

[snow falcon]

What tab is exchanging yellow scrips into blue scrip tokens?

[patent citrus]

inspect the raw materials

discard the one that didn't pass the inspection

and just craft like usual

make sure you unlock the ishgard resto recipe and doh lv 20

or if you level FSH in diadem, desynthesis the fishes to get MIN/BTN materials

[cursive ridge]

Yellow Scrip (Lv 50) -> Others

[snow falcon]

ah ok ty

[celest coral]

Is it a good idea to save some tomes of poetics for patch 6.0 lvl 80 armor?

[honest anvil]

sure, will make those early dungeons easier

[golden ore]

As a ninja, will I use death blossom at end game?

[jade quartz]

yes

you use all your buttons

[golden ore]

How many bars am I gonna need for good ol ninja

[jade quartz]

3 minimum, same as every job

[rugged flicker]

So what exactly is the rationale behind getting rid of belts? Seems like a needless pain in the ass to have to readjust everything.

[faint flare]

They're just stat sticks

And a stat squish is happening

So everything is already being adjusted

It's just a part of it

[jade quartz]

QoL

They have no glamour value as they're invisible, so belts that aren't current are just waste in the drop pool that no one is happy to receive.

No glamour value, no gear value if they're not leveling dungeon or tomestone ones

and that's the vast majority of belts having no value.

By removing them, inventory spaces in the armoury chest can be freed up to store more weapons and rings

And the stats belts would give are just rebalanced over the remaining gear slots.

Big QoL improvement for players, and we lose nothing of significance.

[patent citrus]

so just desynthesis/seals belt just right before ew drop?

what happen with cryptlurker belt?

[jade quartz]

the items still exist

[patent citrus]

ah ok

[jade quartz]

equipped/armoury chest ones go to calamity salvager

can retrieve materia and stuff

[patent citrus]

calamity salvager?

[rugged flicker]

Now the armor screen is gonna look even more uneven.

[patent citrus]

why put there? 🤔

[rugged flicker]

Unless they decide to move the soul crystal slot to the other side.

[narrow jay]

Because it has to go somewhere when they delete the belt slot from the gear pane.

[patent citrus]

oh they plan to delete it

[plush hound]

Give players the option to desynth or turn in for seals.

[patent citrus]

I get it, I don't remember all the option from calamity salvager npc

[narrow jay]

And they don't want to screw you out of turn-in rewards for the one belt you didn't take off.

[patent citrus]

i might miss some

i only remember them as a buyback NPC from quest items

[jade quartz]

because your inventory could be full

Calamity Salvager original function was to give Legacy players back their items from 1.0

[patent citrus]

ok I get it ty ty

[jade quartz]

so he'll hold onto our equipped/armoury chest belts until we pick them upp

[plush hound]

Well, eventually the belts will probably be scrapped completely, just not right away.

[patent citrus]

yeh, pretty nice good riddance

[muted rover]

hey guys my girl stil a sprout even after stormblood and almost done with shadowbringers any siggestions

[patent citrus]

you mean to get rid of the sprout status?

just type /nastatus

can do it anytime

[plush hound]

There also needs to be 168 hours of playtime.

[boreal storm]

So if you say...story skipped

[tribal hull]

Is there any reason you'd want the Augmented Mineking pickaxe over the Landking Pickaxe? The land king pick is half as expensive and has better stats all around compared the Aug Mineking

[patent citrus]

glamour

[muted rover]

she playesd regular

[cursive ridge]

it probably was gear from different patches

are there any stats on character genders in this game? i occasionally see male characters and was wondering how rare are they

No stat differences. Male characters are very common...

[cursive ridge]

statistics

[patent citrus]

yeah like for example, almost 30% of JP players are lalafell

not in another region

just what they prefer to play

[twilit arch]

luckybancho is probably your best bet for stats on that

[near path]

Will things like stacking tank debuffs appear in the party frame or target focus? Or do I need to actually click on a tank to see?

[pure pecan]

so can players only go cross-world within the datacenter?

[patent citrus]

they do, yeah

[pure zenith]

so far yes

[twilit arch]

currently can only world visit within your datacenter, yes

[patent citrus]

just make sure this have enough number to show all debuff/buff

10 is a good number

[patent citrus]

https://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/wsurvey_en.htm?world=Chaos

[cursive ridge]

of course catgirls are the most popular

yeah i'm looking at it

[near path]

Thank you

[jade quartz]

xivcensus is not necessarily the most accurate but it gives an indication of trends. By its stats, out of all characters that have completed Shadowbringers base MSQ, the m/f distribution is near 50/50

males like 5% behind

[twilit arch]

xivcensus wouldn't be beneficial at this point tbh

since its data from april of last year

[cursive ridge]

hm, apparently wow has it at 58% male to 42% female, frankly i expected a much bigger difference between the two games

[fathom wasp]

Hrm, it isn't letting me use a Visa Prepaid Card to buy 60 Days of Time, it had the money on it, it's Visa, is this Normal

[lament pilot]

I have 2 level 70 lancer retainers. if I want to give them the drg job it says it will reset all progress. is that accurate? I'd have to be lv1 again?

[faint flare]

Going from class to job keeps levels

[lament pilot]

kk

[lost depot]

which is quicker to use

a partyfinder

or a dutyfinder

[queen fern]

Depends on your role and what you're running.

[patent citrus]

for duties that isn't included in duty roulette

you need to use partyfinder

these are ex/savage runs that usually can't be done blind and requires team coordination

[queen fern]

For healers it's almost always faster to run duty finder for dungeons.

[patent citrus]

You will unlock these duties much later when you reach lv 50

[leaden moth]

Are there any asymmetrical ninja weapons

[faint flare]

No

[leaden moth]

Aw

[faint flare]

Never will be, takes too much memory for that slot

[leaden moth]

So nothing like ||dragonsong thancred||

[rugged flicker]

Where does the pegasus dual mount come from?

"increase the chance"?

[boreal storm]

It does not guarantee

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to spend White Crafter scrips if im still at post-Heavensward msq?

[patent citrus]

you'll need to reach eulmore for that

[limber jolt]

What is msq?

[queen fern]

It's short for "Main Story Quest".

[dark copper]

how hard is obtaining the night pegasus whistle?

[boreal storm]

You got millions of Gil? Or time to farm lootboxes

[dark copper]

what's the drop rate?

[open ember]

Probably 1% - 5%

In gold halo sacks in potd

[boreal storm]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gold-trimmed_Sack

[open ember]

There's never an exact number for drop rates

We just estimate

[boreal storm]

That’s got a list of what gold sacks can possibly drop

[open ember]

Oh I meant trimmed sacks. Halo sacks are HoH lmao I'm dumb

[proud sigil]

Attacks keys are at the top of the moving keys it is hard to do combo hits in keyboard is their a way for easy keys??

[lethal birch]

some people use mmo mice

i bind my main combo to QER

personally

[boreal storm]

You can change keybinds

[vestal needle]

Anyone know where the hotkey layouts are saved?

is it possible to transfer hotkey layouts?

[jade moat]

Ummm... Why does Heavensward always feel the need to make me bawl like a biatch all the time?

[patent citrus]

#rants

[patent citrus]

\Document\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn

or you can use the backup tools

[vestal needle]

3rd party backup tool?

or is there a official

[patent citrus]

I think I misunderstood what do you want

what's the context? are you on console/pc? what you are trying to do

you right click your character on the character selection screen

[patent swift]

when there are two bards in a party, how do songs work? do the same song stack? And can two different songs work at the same time?

[patent citrus]

then you use backup

they don't stack

need to use different song

[patent swift]

both of our different songs will work simultaneously right?

i can see their buff on me, but not on everyone else

[proud sigil]

QER means

[patent citrus]

your keybind

for KBM user

[boreal storm]

The letters q, e and r

[honest anvil]

songs overwrite each other

[patent swift]

oh thats lame

so you just don't want two bards then right?

[honest anvil]

you never want dupe jobs but in casual content, it’s fine

[boreal storm]

If it’s DF, there’s nothing you can do

[patent swift]

yeah unfortunately, but at least on other jobs you can take turns

bard feels like it only has a small window where all songs are down

[scarlet sandal]

Would 14 be recommended to play on Remote Play

[patent citrus]

oh sorry yeah, he's right

it overwrites each other

for some reason I remember it as long as you use different song, it can stack

[patent swift]

wouldve been my first thought too tbh

[rose current]

in later expacs you get maps for flying?

[boreal storm]

No

Riding maps are purely for ground speed

[rose current]

so flying is still with finding aether currents?

[boreal storm]

Yah. why would they change it on you?

[patent citrus]

just spam the compass when you do the blue quests and MSQ

if it says under 300 yalms, go get the current

[rose current]

ya just got coerthas west flying once i bothered to figured out how to use the compass

[boreal storm]

If you’ve reached the msq that gives an Aether current, you been to all the “necessary areas” for that zone

[patent citrus]

yeah, it's a chore and takes double time if you unlock after you finished all the MSQ/blue quests in the area

[rose current]

i dont mind it

i'm coming from wow

[gilded forge]

Is there a way to increase the odds of successful materia removal?

[warped nest]

Nope

[patent citrus]

flat 40% afaik

[honest anvil]

have good karma

[leaden ginkgo]

so early access is on the 19th and it last one week right ?

judging from previous expansions, when can we expect the first savage fight ?

[outer mural]

1. early access is literally accessing the game earlier, it will just let people play the game 3 days earlier

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[outer mural]

2. we don't know, both story-wise and mechanic wise
   we cannot predict new mechanics, or even re-used mechanics, without actually doing the fight

[honest anvil]

~about a month after launch

[outer mural]

it will come out 1 month after launch though yeah

[patent citrus]

if you want to raid day 1 after savage release

[leaden ginkgo]

oh mb this is official dc

thought it was the balance lol

[patent citrus]

you'll need around 10m I reckon

[leaden ginkgo]

swag

[patent citrus]

to pentamelded all the gears

[outer mural]

i mean it doesn't matter if it's the balance

the answer is the same

early access is literally just earlier access to the game by 3 days

not how steam early access works

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks for the advice

[outer mural]

yeah day 1 gear will hurt your wallet

[patent citrus]

if you don't mind waiting, it will get cheaper later

[outer mural]

much cheaper

[leaden ginkgo]

i think 10 million will be pretty easy to come by

but i’ll see in the future

[patent citrus]

that's only first tier

[outer mural]

it will be the same for each tier

10 mill is also no joke to spend so willy-nilly when the priece will be driven down hard a week later

ultimately up to y ou if you REALLY want that day 1 but for most people it's generally extremely unadvisable

[patent citrus]

but yeah, for me personally It would be up to my static

[outer mural]

my static isn't gonna touch it until gear prices are reasonable yeah

[patent citrus]

if they decided to raid week1, I'll just have to pay I guess 😹

[honest anvil]

craft yourself o/

[patent citrus]

yeah 10m is crafting yourself

not sure if you decided to pay on marketboard

[honest anvil]

stockpile spiritbond boosters

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you vendor crafting crystals/shards?

[honest anvil]

pool resources together too, if you’re in a static

[leaden ginkgo]

i’ll be party finding the first tier and getting logs so i can actually get a static. i’m sure i can find a crafter only player who wants 10 million for a full set of maiming

10mil day 1 sounds good to me

yeah nobody will turn that down.

i’d rather it be that than market board, mb is weird sometimes

[patent citrus]

you can't trade pentamelded stuff

so you gotta put in them materias yourself

[terse herald]

im new to ffxiv

[leaden ginkgo]

i thought other crafters could too ? did they change that ?

[terse herald]

anyone can guide me how do I get discord to show that im playing ff?

[terse herald]

it's not detecting th game running

and I can't add it manually

[outer mural]

you actually can

people sell overpriced pentamelded stuff on the mb

[wispy basalt]

[trim sedge]

do levequests before shadowbringers have a guaranteed chance for multiple turn ins? (for doh)

[honest anvil]

yes

the leve plate shows that

[trim sedge]

ty!! was just wondering if it was a % chance or guaranteed

[honest anvil]

this means triple turn in ^

[light lion]

So when you get to higher ilvl, do all types of materia have a chance of breaking when you remove them?

[outer mural]

yes

[patent citrus]

oh you are right, sorry

[outer mural]

nah i feel ya

it is weird

[patent citrus]

sorry yeah, they can trade pentamelded stuff

[glossy umbra]

hey just curious, if i wanted to find people to help me run extremes unsynced where would I go?

[leaden ginkgo]

well that’s good to know but i won’t be participating. they will be charging an arm and a leg for that

[shut panther]

You can also request other crafters to advanced meld for you

[leaden ginkgo]

i think for any new player who wants to get rich for savage or in general, they should level culinarian and miner/botanist

[shut panther]

Directly onto the gear, rather than trading being involved

[leaden ginkgo]

literal gold mine

[shut panther]

Miner/bot always felt like it was incredibly bad time: Gil to me

Outside of the patch release rush

[patent citrus]

I think he meant the coffee biscuit thing

to supply gaia + ryne 👀

[shut panther]

Ah that makes sense I suppose

[leaden ginkgo]

that and i guess your right time wise but in that sense it’s like real work 😂

[shut panther]

Coffee biscuit grinding is so tedious because of how many dialogue boxes they throw at you every turn in

But yeah it's free money basically

[patent citrus]

yeah not for everyone, lol

[outer mural]

you can actually spam one button for half of it

but yeah still has some menus

[patent citrus]

i haven't been doing that even after I got told that it's "free money"

[ripe hound]

I give up on Coffee Biscuit

Just can't do it for some reason

[shut panther]

At 160mm gil it's not something I can be bothered with

My leves will forever sit at 100

Did they ever get rid of ol the "are you sure you want to turn in an hq item?" Dialogue

[honest anvil]

still there

[craggy tinsel]

is Thrill of Battle considered a mitigation for WAR or nah

[outer mural]

it is a defensive tool but not technically a mitigation no

but you should still use it with other defensives as one does

[craggy tinsel]

kk

thanks!

[faint flare]

It's an indirect shield

As it's temporary health

Like shields

[craggy tinsel]

right that's why I figured it was basically a mitigation

just not a true mitigation

[leaden ginkgo]

Could someone help me get blue mage spells 😁

[craggy tinsel]

when in doubt, PF

[jade moat]

Is there someone here who could help me with the first Bravura relic trial?

I'm on Chaos, Ragnarok

[boreal storm]

PF

[jade moat]

I always forget I now have access to that

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you sell crafting shards/crystals to NPCs?

[outer mural]

yes but generally not recommended

[rugged thicket]

@jade moat i can help

[outer mural]

crystal/sahrds actually sell for quite a bit on the market since it's so easy to get many of them

[limber jolt]

Why can't I equip anything from "Disciple of War"?

[jade moat]

@rugged thicket Help, as in join in the group, or help, as in you're max level and carry my butt? Both welcome, just curious

[outer mural]

what class are you

[boreal storm]

Are a caster or healer

[outer mural]

^

if you are either of these then those are not disciples of war

[boreal storm]

Because those are Disciples of magic

[outer mural]

[limber jolt]

I am a Gladiator.

Oh wait, better start from the beginning. I don't even know how to equip stuff.

[boreal storm]

Drag item into the appropriate slot, or right click->equip

Also the recommended gear button

[hazy jay]

can you buy standard EW and upgrade to collectors later?

[boreal storm]

Yep

[hazy jay]

sweet

[limber jolt]

Thank you.

[leaden granite]

is there a list somewhere of which leves give which rewards? i havent bothered with leves at all so far, ive heard that you can make decent profit with it?

[cursive ridge]

leve rewards are random

what you heard about is the CUL levequest for cookie biscuits

[leaden granite]

that one aint random?

[cursive ridge]

it is also random

it's just a high level levequest that uses easy mats and is triple turn-in per one allowance

[leaden granite]

whats random about it? the rewards?

[cursive ridge]

yes

but levequests always award gold too

so you're relying on that to make money from it

along the way you will get a bunch of garbage

[leaden granite]

yea i have all my doh/l leveled so i only care about rewards

[boreal storm]

Money

[cursive ridge]

it's 6k gold per 3 HQ cookies, triple turn in means 18k gold per leve allowance

[boreal storm]

Money is the reward

[leaden granite]

how much does the reward fluctuate?

[cursive ridge]

from nothing to garbage

[leaden granite]

so like 0gil to 6k ?!

[cursive ridge]

the gold is always around 6k per 3 HQ cookies

gold is not the reward

[leaden granite]

ah wait, so the gil is consistent?

[cursive ridge]

yeah

[leaden granite]

ah okay so the requested item and the gil reward are both fixed then?

[cursive ridge]

gold fluctuates

but stays around 6k

[leaden granite]

ah okay, nice, thx

[cursive ridge]

the item is fixed

and you'll get garbage like one berry or somesuch sometimes

[leaden granite]

sorry i guess im being daft here, but wdym with getting garbage sometimes?

[cursive ridge]

scroll through levequests

[leaden granite]

i thought u get gil + exp for a fixed item

[cursive ridge]

you will see that they sometimes reward stuff like 'one ingot'

[leaden granite]

ah so the requested items are sometimes garbage

[cursive ridge]

that part is random

[leaden granite]

aaah

okay gotcha

[leaden granite]

ah okay, now i get it. are there any other leves that are worth it over biscuits? or is it biscuis everytime

[undone warren]

Are there any Samurai weapons with a blue glow? I think the SAM Relic Weapons are all red or yellow

[cursive ridge]

biscuits are easy to craft, plus triple turn-in

[boreal storm]

Leviathan and shiva

[cursive ridge]

maybe there's a similar leve, but people just do cookies

[tropic flame]

seiryu has a blue glow as well

[undone warren]

Oh nice

Err, what's this about biscuits? Is it a way to make Gil?

[leaden granite]

kk, are all levequests repeatable? then i might just take my time and make a list of all the lvl 78+ levequests and see what would yield the biggest rewards

[cursive ridge]

yes they are repeatable

[craggy tinsel]

https://ffxivcrafting.com/levequests It gives a general average for gil reward and the xp reward, but not the item reward, since it'll switch between a few possible outcome for each leve.

[cursive ridge]

you would have to find a 78 levequest that has a triple turn-in and an easy craft

[leaden granite]

holy, ty

[craggy tinsel]

😉

[leaden granite]

ah, not all have tripple turn in?

[craggy tinsel]

Not all, no

[cursive ridge]

no

[craggy tinsel]

Ones marked with a red symbol on that site are triples.

[leaden granite]

yo that link is lit man, ty

okay so for every DoH 1 out of the 3 leves is 3x turn in i guess

[craggy tinsel]

mhm

[leaden granite]

is there no distinction ingame? i couldnt tell which one has tripple turn in and which doesnt

[delicate iron]

How do I unlock Eden's Promise: Umbra (Savage)

[cursive ridge]

no

[craggy tinsel]

the card at the top right

[delicate iron]

i did the quest

[spice kraken]

guys, is it possible to farm this raid unsynced solo?

[cursive ridge]

hm

[craggy tinsel]

probably not a level 70 savage, no

if you can, it'll be slow

[craggy tinsel]

one moment and I'll grab what I mean by that @leaden granite

[craggy tinsel]

that

yes

[leaden granite]

i got it, the girl with blond hair = tripple turn in

yea

[craggy tinsel]

and dwarf (I think it's a dwarf? idr) is 2

[leaden granite]

yea, seems to be the same 2 cards for every DoH leve so thats easy to grasp

(once u know it, as per usual)

[craggy tinsel]

ye

[cursive ridge]

that card system is some archaic shit from 1.0

[craggy tinsel]

lmao true

[leaden granite]

to me its as new as the latest released content 😄

[delicate iron]

How do I unlock Eden's Promise: Umbra (Savage) i did the quest but cant do the savage

[leaden granite]

aight thx for the help again, this discord rocks haha

[undone warren]

Are there any money making Leves worth doing at around level 50-70?

[tropic flame]

you finished the questline right?

[patent citrus]

you need to choose the correct tab

it's not on raid tab, but high-end raid

[craggy tinsel]

gil almost doubles going from a level 60 CUL triple turn-in to a level 78 CUL triple turn-in

[patent citrus]

cause it's the current savage tier

[delicate iron]

Yes

And I dont have the savage unlocked

[undone warren]

Are CUL and BSM the only classes with profitable turn in leves?

[craggy tinsel]

I mean, no

but they're probably the least time consuming to do

[undone warren]

I only have my GSM at 80, though my LTW and WVR are getting there

[sharp forge]

wait is wondrous tails the same thing every week?

no new duties

[cursive ridge]

random duties

for each player

[undone warren]

Though I probably can't do the higher level Leves anyway since I'm still at the start of my Stormblood MSQ lmao

[craggy tinsel]

let me grab an example for you, Kryto

[sharp forge]

Ive had the exact same ones 3 weeks in a row now wtf

[tropic flame]

try checking your High End duties tab in Duty Finder

[cursive ridge]

if you're not level 80 yet, you have a limited pool of options

[tropic flame]

most recent tier of savage raids is listed in there

[craggy tinsel]

The level 78 triple turn-in for GSM is this... note that this is per turn-in, so triple this for a total profit. The gil amount is average, the xp is fixed.

[sharp forge]

I am level 80 and have basically everything unlocked

how odd

[craggy tinsel]

by comparison, the level 60 GSM leve with a triple turn-in

The profit is DEFINITELY at the highest level ones

[patent citrus]

I think he's talking about coffee biscuit and dwarven mithril file

in respect to CUL and BSM

but yeah, they are both lv 80

[craggy tinsel]

I used GSM as ref because they said they have GSM at 80

[spice kraken]

would it be easy to farm sigmascape savage with 8 lvl 80?

[patent citrus]

very

[cursive ridge]

piece of piss

[spice kraken]

what about 2?

[undone warren]

Hmm, so I need to get the ShB MSQ to unlock the level 80 leves right?

[craggy tinsel]

ye

[patent citrus]

yeah, you need access to crystarium

you'll get it around lv 70-71 MSQ so it's pretty early

[undone warren]

I've got a ways to go haha

Just starting SB

[patent citrus]

yeah take your time, no hurry

[delicate iron]

@tropic flame thanks

[leaden granite]

HOLY SHIT ffxivcrafting.com actually has the feature to break crafts down into their gatherable opponents

i was looking for something like that forever

components*

[craggy tinsel]

usually once you do it once you can just remember the list

[sharp forge]

there is also recipe tree ingame

if i think you are talking about what i think

[craggy tinsel]

example: CUL's Coffee Biscuits leve requires 500 Garden Beet, 500 Upland Wheat, 300 Coffee Beans, 2100 Water Crystals and 3500 Fire Crystals per 100 allowances i.e. 300 turn-ins (3 per leve)

you kinda just remember that after a while

[leaden granite]

yes but many crafts have other parts that need to be crafted aswell, so it can get really messy if you wanna look up raw mats for several crafts. i did that by hand so far, this is infinitely easier

[sharp forge]

i thought it showed that stuff?

hmm idk lol

im dumb af

[leaden granite]

maybe im missing it but i dont think so

https://gyazo.com/cb522a1d4d655f9c2e69729ec5fff7f0 for example, night vinegar would need to be crafted aswell

[craggy tinsel]

I don't recall there being one in-game, you'd have to note it all manually.

[sharp forge]

right click on the item

and do recipe tree

[boreal storm]

Right click, recipe tree

[craggy tinsel]

mfw

[leaden granite]

well i stand corrected

[sharp forge]

then you can just right click and "search by gathering method" from there

and be told where stuff spawns ingame

[leaden granite]

yea, thats super nice

[patent citrus]

lol

[leaden granite]

hmm, so it looks like there 2 kinds of gil rewards for these leves. 3.024 gil or 4.032

the cul cookie leve actually only rewards 3024, yet its still the best one? i guess the mats are the easiest to farm for?

[craggy tinsel]

all steps require just botanist to gather and just culinarian to craft

[sharp forge]

there is also a alch one but im not sure what its called but cookies are easy

[craggy tinsel]

you'd only get 600k gil more per 100 allowances if you went with, for example, the BSM one over the CUL one

[modest igloo]

triple turn in

[leaden granite]

would that still matter if i have all DoH/DoL at 80 ?

[sharp forge]

the reason cookie one is so good is because triple turn in

[left whale]

does my blu mage cane being broken mean anything for performance ;l

[sharp forge]

and hq gives you double gil

[left whale]

do i really miss that 1 attack?

[craggy tinsel]

it's entirely dependent upon how much effort you want to put in

[left whale]

its been broken fer daaays

[sharp forge]

so 6kishx3 for 1 turn in

18k for 1 leve allowance

minus whatever ya spent/gathered for mats

[leaden granite]

but the WVR leve for example is tripple turn in and gives 4032 per hand in

[outer mural]

it's 106k-ish a day

[modest igloo]

its also botinist only too so easy to farm and profitable af

[outer mural]

yeah it's the least minimum commitment to levelling a class

and crafting / gathering with it

less hoops to jump through

[craggy tinsel]

Another thing to note is that anything turning in equipment of any kind will fill inventory fast

whereas something like the cookies can stack

[outer mural]

it's not a maximizing money thing, it's a 'this is good money and also the easeiset'

[leaden granite]

ah thats a good point

[sharp forge]

remember dont turn in them by clicking. Put them in the first spot of your inventory and spam 0 on numpad after talking to the npc

actually broken

[leaden granite]

that makes sense yea. so if i were to look for most gil per leve, i should probably check the others out

[sharp forge]

skips through all the dialouge and turns them all in super quick

[leaden granite]

TIL, ty

[modest igloo]

oh shit TIL

[craggy tinsel]

shit I've learned two things about crafting today...

[sharp forge]

literally just talk to the npc and spam 0 and in half a second you turn in all 9

very convenient

[craggy tinsel]

numpad 0 or main 0

[sharp forge]

numpad

[craggy tinsel]

huh

I'll have to try that

[sharp forge]

you might have to have numlock on or off

cant remember which

I think you need numlock on,,,

eh just try both its one of them lmao

[craggy tinsel]

lol

[sharp forge]

but yea insanely fast and avoids cramps from cookiesss lmao

[leaden granite]

okay, so before i fuck up again: with 100 leves i can turn in 300 HQ cookies right?

[sharp forge]

nah

cookies are triple turn ins

[leaden granite]

welp glad i asked

[sharp forge]

so you turn in 3 cookies

3 times

for a total of 9

[leaden granite]

so 900 ?

[craggy tinsel]

100 times, because 100 leves

yes

[sharp forge]

900 cookies

[craggy tinsel]

900 HQ cookies will net you about 1.8 million gil

[leaden granite]

daym

[sharp forge]

and boredom from crafting them all

[craggy tinsel]

the files for BSM would go up to ~2.4 mil

[leaden granite]

yea i was actually looking at those, its 33% more gil

but i guess inventory clutter?

[craggy tinsel]

if you don't mind starting and stopping a lot

it's not bad

if you don't mind stopping to turn in or don't mind putting in extra effort

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sharp forge]

but then you have to click click

with cookies its spam 0 til you die

[craggy tinsel]

that too

[leaden granite]

ya as a noob i probably cant afford the convinient cookies just yet

[craggy tinsel]

but the clicking isn't too bad

[sharp forge]

eh up to you but like they said people do cookies for convience

[leaden granite]

considering i have a grand total of 700k gil atm

[sharp forge]

not really to be rich af

[craggy tinsel]

just gather the cookies and find an in-game macro that will consistently craft the cookies at HQ for you

then prop your feet up and pull up Netflix on the other monitor

because you're going to be there a while

if you happen to use handsaint gear, I can give you my macro I use

the only times I have issues with it are just due to random lag lol

because it'll skip an action

[leaden granite]

yea i have all my doh/dol with landsaint gear equipped atm

[craggy tinsel]

perfect

[honest anvil]

what are the most exclusive things with Allied Seal? need to burn some

[patent citrus]

teleport ticket

[honest anvil]

hmm, anything else?

[patent citrus]

riding map, furnitures

[sharp forge]

minions are one time buys

[honest anvil]

oh apparently i got those minions already

.-.

[patent citrus]

I usually just stack teleport ticket

but having more than 999 will take another inventory slot

[sharp forge]

do you do your daily hunts?

[vivid bough]

does the EW ear ring apply to all xp, or just killing things?

[sharp forge]

just killing

[honest anvil]

i just check the hunt bill whenever i go to GC HQ for my squadrons and kill things as i see them

i don't go out of my way to hunt anything

[patent citrus]

me? I just like joining S-rank callout

pretty chill thing to do and I like doing it

[modest igloo]

i do the weeklys and that it

[sharp forge]

I should probably do them

[modest igloo]

never realized the dailies were good for XP tho

[sharp forge]

only hunts I really ever do are shb ones

[patent citrus]

but my teleportation ticket comes from 4.0x12 hunt train

centurio seal

[honest anvil]

there are ... ARR hunt trains?

[patent citrus]

not sure if NA people doing it, but EU people doing it

4.0 is SB

there's no ARR hunt trains

[cursive ridge]

ARR hunt trains are a bit pointless since any level 80 player can kill an A rank in like 5 seconds

so they don't live long

[sharp forge]

I dont think ive ever seen one lol
