Currently, no

#

Er, in the armoire, if that's what you mean

fossil bloom
#

is there a faq entry on leveling from L61-L80?

strange coral
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
strange coral
#

should cover it

fossil bloom
#

okay, so how do i start HOH from 21F?

warm snow
#

Get to 20

strange coral
#

Completing level 20 unlocks the option to start at 21 when starting a new HoH save

warm snow
#

Do bluequest

fossil bloom
#

okay, thanks

Is there a Reddit or other resource to look for a FC?

tropic flame
#

yes

ionic swallow
tropic flame
#

and a couple others

ionic swallow
#

ooo

#

definitely race changing

#

what about hyurs? are they getting anything new

glossy flare
#

new hairstyles are added semi regularly

#

they just specifically talked about viera because they can't use any of the unlockable hairstyles right now

ionic swallow
#

oh

sacred oracle
#

i can just use them all right? there's nothing that require those later?

faint flare
#

The only purpose for them is to appraise into actions

sacred oracle
#

thanks

raw granite
#

And sell them

solid cedar
#

Anyone who can say something about the G600 logitech mouse

patent citrus
#

I own it

#

haven't had it for long though, I got it as a Christmas present last Dec

solid cedar
#

How has it been going for ya?

patent citrus
#

I don't use it much, but I know how it works, I used to own a Logitech G300 that lasted for 6+ years

#

I see a lot of people recommending it as well

#

what I mean is Logitech is pretty reliable, but maybe my anecdotal experience

solid cedar
#

Meh idk, I just need a new one. My current one is a logitech, but I kid you not, it came packaged with a windows XP PC back in 2005

#

It has been with with me all this time and worked flawlessly until last week it started to get issues

lone totem
#

yeah, don't use one

patent citrus
#

get it 👀 It's a QOL if you play MMO

solid cedar
#

Just kinda scared on transitioning to a gaming mouse. It costs so much and I'm scared it would feel like shit to me

lone totem
#

mouse and keyboard in general is so weird to me lol

patent citrus
#

yeh, gamepad or mmo mouse

solid cedar
#

Generally I prefer controller, but with an MMO that's a no go

patent citrus
#

you can choose

solid cedar
#

I've been playing XIV for 400 hours with this mouse lol

lone totem
#

controller is fine

solid cedar
#

Did you know you can actually click on your actions

modest igloo
#

ye

patent citrus
#

yeah I use controller as well, hence why I said "I don't use it much" 😂

rose current
#

the stuff you can get with the antique drops you get anyway at lvl 50 now correct?

modest igloo
solid cedar
#

I've finished Stormblood just by clicking on actions. It worked fine for me lol

rose current
#

ok

terse sequoia
#

How much were the 2.x quests cut down? I’m nearly there in the MSQ and I’m struggling to motivate myself to keep going.

solid cedar
#

80 quests total in Post ARR afaik

#

2.x is kinda dope though.

modest igloo
#

93 quests total with crystal tower and hard primals

#

80 msq

solid cedar
#

Post ARR is good 😦

Increase skill speed by up to 8% (up to a maximum of 6)

#

Etc

rose current
#

6 what

boreal storm
#

Points

zinc bramble
#

Skill speed

rose current
#

ah ok

minor fulcrum
#

Say you have 100 skill speed. You would gain 6 points instead of the 8%

#

Basically how they make CUL useful otherwise lvl 1 food would be raid food

rose current
#

is it better to get +ch or +dh

minor fulcrum
#

What job are you

rose current
#

my main jobs rn are pld, drg, sch

minor fulcrum
#

drg wants crit > dh >det, not sure about the rest

rose current
#

prob dh for healers

boreal storm
#

You can’t direct hit heals

twilit arch
#

What level are you

dusty shard
#

if I want to spirit bond my eq, i should make HQ eq that is 10 lvl lower than the mob of the Dungeon i want to farm right?

rose current
#

CRIT, i meant crit

faint flare
#

Basically everyone uses Smoked chicken

#

Which is crit/det

#

Unless you need extra speed

boreal storm
dusty shard
#

oh i see

idle loom
#

Is the Duty Finder Alliance Raids always level 50 or do I need to unlock the higher levels somehow?

dusty shard
#

so if the dungeon drop ilvl 49 then i should get 39 huh

zinc bramble
boreal storm
lone bone
#

you still need the licenses for the specific platform

#

EW for pc is still only for PC

faint flare
#

You can play on the other platform

lone bone
#

etc

twilit arch
#

you won't be able to log in on ps4 if you're in endwalker zones

faint flare
#

But you won't log in if you're in a expansion level area you don't own

twilit arch
#

you would need to move your character to a non endwalker zone to log in

faint flare
#

Collectors is universal

#

You only buy it once

boreal storm
lone bone
#

you'll be fine

cursive ridge
#

entirely dependent on how much you pull and if your healer is awake

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You won't gain xp past 80

lone totem
#

the only thing the expansion check does is allow you to go into expansion zones and level

#

so any items you've obtained, gear you've obtained, quests you have active or have completed, stay that way

tropic frigate
#

Is this a scam mail?

faint flare
#

No

worn flume
#

no, read it

faint flare
#

They don't charge for preorders until closer to releaae

#

Aka that date in the mail

#

Unless you hit Debit now, you actually haven't paid for endwalker yet

brazen radish
#

Hey ive a question avout mechanistic

#

Been using it for so l9ng

#

But only just notived attacks in hupercharge. Heatblast restores ten seconds off ricochet and guass rounds

#

It doesnt say anywhere that it does

#

How am i supoosed to use it

faint flare
#

!action Heat Blast

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Heat Blast** : lvl 35 MCH (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Reduces the recast time of both Gauss Round and Ricochet by 15s
Can only be executed when firearm is Overheated.
Recast timer cannot be affected by status effects or gear attributes.

faint flare
#

It does

brazen radish
#

Huh...

#

Doesnt say so ingame

glad robin
#

So you can’t unsync any dungeons for SHB?

brazen radish
#

Ah.. nvm

boreal storm
#

Use a gauss/ricochet between heat blasts

brazen radish
#

I looked at hypercharge...

#

So how do i use it effectively

modest igloo
faint flare
brazen radish
#

Wildfire spam guass and rickhochet. Heatblast spam and then back to spamming gauss and richochet till widlfire pops?

faint flare
#

You weave gauss or richohet

rose current
faint flare
#

Between each heatblast

sacred oracle
#

how to put this back? i tried drag in

tropic summit
#

Drag it on top of the other buttons

warm snow
rose current
#

oh smoked chicken is cul endgame

tropic summit
#

that should work

lone bone
#

on top of general

sacred oracle
sacred oracle
#

i drag on the + icon

faint flare
warm snow
#

Really

faint flare
#

ANY current expansion content

#

Can't be unsynced

boreal storm
heavy wadi
#

you can't unsync any shb content

faint flare
#

Once endwalker hits you can unsync shadowbringers but not unsync endwalker stuff

#

Current expansion content can never be unsynced

glad robin
#

So then basically any dungeons I use party finder for we have to pretty much just run it synced?

#

For SHB*

faint flare
#

If it's current expansion content

#

Yes

rose current
#

where do i find food appropriate for my level?

faint flare
#

Just get food from a vendor

#

It doesn't matter

solemn jewel
#

Unless ur raiding u dont need to think about the stats, u eat food for the exp bonus

rose current
#

ok

regal pawn
#

Consume Egg

boreal storm
#

If you’re buying for stats go on the market board. But you really don’t need to unless you’re raiding

solemn jewel
#

Egg

regal pawn
heavy wadi
#

just buy eggs for the exp bonus.

worn crag
rose current
#

i bought different foods for gathering, melee, tanking, healing 😂

Hello all, I am the 1,999,999,999 person to say/ask this:
Point me into the noob corner, please! I have questions!
Immediate Questions:
I just hit download on this game for the PS5.
- Will I also be able to play this on my PS4, then go back to PS5 and so on?
- Is it too late to start? This seems like it's been out forever, I was waiting on the 'next' ff online game, but seems they are just updating this one. Will PS5 spark that change?
- I played Neverwinter for years, I enjoyed everything but healing. Left NW as a Tank, tank seemed most enjoyable to me. Is Tank a bad starting character?
- Even as a NW player I would tell people to play what you want (if you were just starting NW), because the differences were minimal, but are there actually better classes to pick? Tank and DPS
- Anything I should know/read/learn before I actually create my first character, or will it be inevitable that I create a new one after a month of playing because I messed it up.

lone totem
#

Yes
No
No
Your choice
It's easy to pick up and start

#

for some short answers at least

cursive ridge
#

nothing you choose in the character creation screen will affect your character power

empty mural
lone totem
#

but seriously, your starting job doesn't matter

cursive ridge
#

technically all races have different stats but it's like 1-3 stat difference when you have 3000

lone totem
#

in ffxiv, you can freely swap jobs

#

at almost any time

#

with no penalty

faint flare
#

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

idle loom
#

You won’t need to create a new character because one character has access to all the jobs/skills in the game

lilac nacelle
#

Is HQ rate of mining retainers dependent on their gathering gear value? Meaning, after I reach a gathering value necessary for level 80 gathering on retainers, is there any use in upgrading gear even further?

cursive ridge
#

!faq retainerbp

zinc orbitBOT
#
What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2400 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

empty mural
#

I think my biggest question was switching between PS4 and PS5, cause I let my kids play on PS5 while they are awake. I figured it was all online so didn't matter.

idle loom
lilac nacelle
atomic jewel
#

I'm trying to level up a bunch of DPS classes but I'm having trouble liking dragoon. I really loved 60 dragoon but now I'm not a fan of it and I really wish I was, is there something I'm missing?

lone totem
#

the PS3/PS4/PS5 clients have been kinda regulated into just a generic "PlayStation" registration, so if you purchase the game on PS3-PS5, you can play them on PS3-PS5

#

though, of course, the PS3 version has been discontinued so you will be asked to upgrade

lone totem
#

but if you did at some point buy it, you can get the PS4 version

idle loom
#

He said PS4/PS5 so he should be good

empty mural
#

I've not purchased anything, gonna give the free trial to 60 a spin

lone totem
#

for no additional charge as far as I am aware now

#

ah... free trial might be a little bit different

idle loom
#

And ps4 to ps5 upgrade is free

lone totem
#

I'm not entirely sure actually

#

if you're on free trial you might not be able to login on other clients

#

I have never tried

#

I mean there should be nothing stopping you

empty mural
#

guess i will know soon enough, it's downloading now on PS5.

idle loom
#

The free trial will lock you into one client

empty mural
#

oh well

idle loom
#

Or rather, one platform.

lone totem
#

"PlayStation" might be generic enough to count as a single platform

idle loom
#

It might work between PlayStations

lone totem
#

ye

empty mural
#

I will figure it out tonight i guess.

ionic swallow
#

i say try doing it on a platform u feel comfortable with just incase

gaunt bluff
#

Got a question, square enix sent me an email that they'd charge me for the expansion on the 7th of nov, has that been postponed along with the expansion itself?

#

I can't find any article about it

lone totem
#

if they didn't charge you, they will probably charge you in two weeks from that date instead

#

so the 21st

faint flare
#

Read the mail itself

#

They detail it

gaunt bluff
#

Aww, thats what I thought too

empty mural
#

well i will have 100% uptime on ps4, but I am a nice parent, and let my kids play ps5 more than I do... even though it's technically mine.

lone totem
empty mural
#

so i may go ps4 route if i have to choose 1

hot eagle
lone totem
#

so there is a way to go around it

#

no matter what

lone totem
#

this is just assuming it won't let you login

#

it probably will

gaunt bluff
noble raft
#

hey yall i have a question
what happens to the items im selling on my retainers after my sub runs out?
do they stop selling or not

gaunt bluff
#

ill try to find the person who wrote it

#

Found it, thanks a lot guy. Was just curious about the date

#

guys*

faint flare
#

As usual

river vortex
#

So alte roite (the mount) drops from Deltascape 4.0 Savage right? Whats the drop right like, is it like the horses/birds/dogs?

faint flare
#

Guaranteed

warm snow
#

Savage raid mounts are guaranteed

faint flare
#

Savage mounts are guaranteed per run

noble raft
#

ooh i see, tysm

warm snow
#

Extremes are RNG

#

cuz one is waaaaay harder

faint flare
#

Provided the chest spawn itself

#

Which they do now for old savages

river vortex
#

ahh cool

warm snow
#

this is only an issue when a raid tier is current

river vortex
#

does it work unsynched?

faint flare
#

Yes

warm snow
#

since the chest drops are dependent on how many people have cleared this week

#

4-7 without clears = one chest

#

full party without clear = 2

#

and iirc the mount drops in the second chest

faint flare
#

It's 50/50 which chest that spawns in 1 chest runs

warm snow
#

wow, that sounds like a pain

faint flare
#

Yeep

#

Either get the good chest with the actual loot

#

Or just upgrades

somber quiver
#

do i need to do the hv msq to do my lvl 60 job quest?

solemn jewel
#

yes

warm snow
#

pretty much

#

all job quests are tied to their expansions

#

!faq whynojobquest

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in msq, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

somber quiver
#

i need to go to falcon nest but the path is closed

solemn jewel
#

Yea just continue msq, it will get you there

lone totem
#

wait

#

how

#

Level 60 job quest?

warm snow
#

EVERYTHING is locked behind MSQ

#

EVERYTHING

solemn jewel
#

from heavensward onwards all territories are locked behind progression

lone totem
#

how did you do your Level 52 job quest?

warm snow
#

He probably means 50-60

lone totem
#

if you never went to the Coerthas Western Highlands?

warm snow
#

or is 60

solemn jewel
#

some jobs dont go there until later

somber quiver
#

i didn't need to go there until now

solemn jewel
#

iirc whm takes a bit until u go to dravania

somber quiver
#

50 to 58 were in previous maps

lone totem
#

what job are you playing?

warm snow
#

depends on the job

lean talon
#

how many leve allowances do i get in a day?

warm snow
#

6

lone totem
#

you get 3 every 12 hours

warm snow
#

3 every 12 hours

somber quiver
#

summoner and scholar

solemn jewel
#

ye they stay in eorzea for a while

warm snow
#

which job quest

lean talon
#

sadge, no lord creator off coffee biscuits for me then

somber quiver
#

why is everything tied to the msq :(

solemn jewel
#

cus its a story game

warm snow
#

Because Final fantasy game first, mmo second

lean talon
#

Because this game is Final Fantasy first, mmo second

solemn jewel
#

u go to places cus the story wants u there

lean talon
#

There is a promotion for story skips if you really want to avoid it all, but it's not recommended

lone totem
#

the job quests generally expect you to be at the MSQ of that level

#

so if you're doing a Level 60 job quest, it expects you to have completed up to Level 60 MSQ

somber quiver
#

i'm basically at the very start of hv msq :(

solemn jewel
#

do it then its a good story

warm snow
#

then keep progressing it

solemn jewel
#

u dont need whatever ability u get

#

until ur actually doing 60 content

lone totem
#

afaik scholar in particular only visits the western highlands once

#

and then thats it

#

so thats not too bad actually

warm snow
#

you won't be able to use your higher level skills til you're actually at that content

lean talon
#

lucky you, the story for HW is fantastic, and you don't need anything in your lvl 60 kit until post 3.0

warm snow
#

cuz level syncs

lean talon
#

relax and enjoy the game

#

no need to rush

somber quiver
#

can I teleport with a friend before doing the msq?

warm snow
#

no

solemn jewel
#

you cannot enter places ur not supposed to be in yet

warm snow
#

EVERYTHING

#

MSQ locks EVERYTHING

lean talon
#

You will not be able to complete your job quest until the main scenario quest opens up that specific zone

lone totem
#

you can cheat ahead in some areas, but most of them are locked away

lone totem
#

it's just the way the hubs are designed

#

Kugane for example, there is literally no way to enter or leave Kugane on the overworld

#

same with Foundation

somber quiver
#

and now that i'm lvl 60 can i buy shire gear?

lean talon
#

iirc the lvl 58 sch quest requires flying in the HW zone so you really can't access it until after the msq

warm snow
lone totem
#

and in Shadowbringers, the entire area cannot be visited until you are in Shadowbringers because of plot-related reasons

warm snow
#

but you also don't need it

#

cuz level syncs

lone totem
#

yeah you're considered over leveled right now

heavy wadi
#

you literally can't get around doing msq. this is a story based game.

cursive ridge
#

you can by paying money

warm snow
#

you won't be able to actually use shire gear with its actual stats until the literal final quest of 3.0

cursive ridge
#

but that is saying "no please i would like to skip 85% of this game to play the lesser 15%"

lean talon
#

or you could stop worrying so much about progression

lone totem
#

imagine buying a $60 game and paying $25 to skip playing the $60 game

somber quiver
#

i capped poetics but i already have ironwork so

warm snow
#

buy ironworks for something else

cursive ridge
#

get ironworks for an alt job

lean talon
#

honestly even if you got shire gear and all your job quests done, you can't do any lvl 60 raids or trials until after 3.0...

warm snow
#

or it doesn't matter

#

cuz you won't get more poetics til that self same final quest of 3.0

cursive ridge
#

you will get so many poetics you will not know what to do with them

warm snow
#

unless you're doing roulettes instead of msq

lone totem
#

I've been at 2000/2000 for every tome

#

for like 5 months

warm snow
#

I'm using them to level alc desynth

lone totem
#

you know, I should

#

but lazy

warm snow
#

cuz I have absolutely no use for them lol

lean talon
#

buy the lvl 50 gear for your smn

cursive ridge
warm snow
#

600 poetics each

#

and again

cursive ridge
#

oh you mean low level desynth

warm snow
#

I have literally nothing else to spend poetics on

#

ilevel 400

lone totem
#

Blue Mage gear

warm snow
#

usable til my alc desynth is 450

lean talon
#

nah fam that's why you boost blm

warm snow
lone totem
#

wow I just realized the next step for blue mage is the level we are at now

#

so I can just give blue mage my current rdm set

#

...

warm snow
lone totem
#

well for sure

#

but its a nice start

cursive ridge
#

not really, there are two different builds for blu

warm snow
#

I mean, I have both anyways

cursive ridge
#

crit/dh works too

lone totem
#

I usually play healer blue mage

cursive ridge
#

healer blu, now i'm imagining three full hotbars of just Pom Cure

warm snow
#

strotram. gobskin and angel snack

lone totem
#

it's still a shield

cursive ridge
#

or wait

#

i mean cactguard

lone totem
#

cactguard, no one uses

cursive ridge
#

hm

warm snow
#

lol

#

one I'm surprised we actually used was avail

cursive ridge
#

damn, gobskin would help me soloing A5N, but it drops from a mob in A10

#

pain

lone totem
#

easy to get

#

even alone

cursive ridge
#

Have to unlock a10 first and i'm at a5

river vortex
#

how hard is Deltascape 4.0 savage at lvl 80?

neat patrol
#

So, If I've heard right, EW is the final expansion for part 1 of the story, so there would be more expansions and content afterwards correct? FFXIV going for 10s of years like WOW and RS

solemn jewel
#

Its the final of the first arc

cursive ridge
#

Not the end of the game

solemn jewel
#

6.1, the first update around christmas, starts the new story

neat patrol
#

Yeah, Arc's the word

heavy wadi
#

we know they plan for ffxiv to go for at least another 10 years

#

so another whole arc

solemn jewel
#

so theres gonna be way more owocarby

river vortex
#

theres honestly a lot that can come after EW tbh

#

For instance, other stars might become more relevant

cursive ridge
#

Khloe is not gonna believe the stuff we tell her frim like 7.0

#

Also there are two whole continents left to explore

river vortex
#

"Did I tell you about the time we killed this timetraveling multidimensional god?"
"Yes grandpa, lets go get your meds"

cursive ridge
#

Meracydia-australia and new wirld-america

neat patrol
#

Oh, Btw, Is "Eorzea" the name of the planet they are located, or the continent?

solemn jewel
#

Continent

cursive ridge
#

Hydaelyn is the planet name

twilit arch
#

its neither

#

Eorzea is the collective area of aldenard and vylbrand together

solemn jewel
#

oh ye vylbrand

somber quiver
#

i really like the machinist goggles. is there anything similar for all classes?

regal pawn
#

all of this

#

both Yoshi and Square CEO are committed to a new story arc for 7.0

heavy wadi
#

It was in one of the interviews, can't remember which but it was an offhand comment.

fleet steppe
#

oh just an offhand comment

heavy wadi
#

about how squenix was committed to supporting the game for "another 10 years"

ivory night
#

How do i find a static?

lean talon
#

We're also know just from previous expansions that the dev is typically working on story stuff two expansions ahead of the current one

lone bone
#

Endwalker isn't the final story for ffxiv

#

its the end of an epic ARC

hasty timber
#

whats this icon supposed to mean? is that a special reward?

lean talon
#

EndWalker is the final story for the Hydy/Zodi arc

faint flare
heavy wadi
hasty timber
#

oh my god

tropic frigate
#

I don't get it fully

hasty timber
#

unexpected reward but nice

tropic frigate
#

So when I pre-ordered Endwalker, I got Mephina and stuff

lean talon
#

dress your grandpa as funky as you would like

fleet steppe
#

well at least even if they, due to some circumstances, only decide to make 1 expac after EW, then I guess they'll at least keep the servers alive for 10 more years

but now it's not charged yet?

faint flare
#

No

#

Not yet

heavy wadi
#

doesn't charge till ew releases

#

or closer to it

#

iirc

tropic frigate
#

So they give those items even if they didn't charge you

faint flare
#

Unless you go into your orders and choose to pay now

#

Yes

lean talon
#

the steam sku doesn't work that way iirc right

faint flare
#

Steam and console pay now

lean talon
#

yeah that's my pref

faint flare
#

You can pay now if you wish in Your orders page on the store

#

Should you wish

tropic frigate
#

but Vinyl, I even see there's an activation key

heavy wadi
#

you can't use it yet

faint flare
#

You get the preorder code

heavy wadi

^

faint flare
#

Expansion codes get given and used when endwalker actually comes

faint flare
#

And still updating

languid cosmos
#

how long is heavensward?

tropic frigate
#

I'm really not used to this way of purchasing things

#

I would've preferred them to charge me

As stated

You can choose to pay now

longer than arr? same time?

Shorter than arr

faint flare

Yes

#

11 is still getting updates, for their 20th anniversary

fleet steppe
#

thats cool

tropic frigate
#

but the way it works now, they will take the money off my paypal near the release?

faint flare
#

Yes

tropic frigate
#

Alright

faint flare
#

A handful of places do that

#

Some game stores

#

Why pay for something that's not out yet

fleet steppe
#

sqex profits when endwalker launches gonna be through the roof

languid cosmos
#

psn and eshop does that as well

#

im hoping i can get to endwalker before release but i kinda doubt it

#

im only 3 quests into heavensward

They delayed it just for you

you have 3 weeks shouldnt be hard

took me like 2 and a half weeks to beat arr

fleet steppe
#

yeah thats arr tho

faint flare

Arr is 50 levels

#
  • long post arr
languid cosmos
#

oh yeah true i don’t have to worry about levelling nearly as much anymore

lean talon
#

I paid for the expansion at fanfest and just now popped a 90 day sub, it feels better to not have to worry about my sub status looming over my head

#

at least to me

languid cosmos
#

also what is there to do once you finish the msq?

fleet steppe
#

I manually resub every month lmao

languid cosmos
#

like what do people do who have like 2000 hours in ff14

fleet steppe
#

Theres also crafting and gathering

lean talon
fleet steppe
#

not to mention the other 16 classes that you didnt level

languid cosmos
#

true

#

class levelling is agony though

lean talon
#

You can also level up your Grand Company rank to get an apartment and unlock the real endgame

#

fleet steppe

Its not the endgame

Treasure maps

wait is sb shadowbringers or stormblood

fleet steppe
#

ah yes maps

lean talon

5.0 story took me 60 hours iirc

#

Stb and Shb what most use

heavy wadi
#

sb = stormblood, shb = shadowbringers

i have 80 currently which i think is about the common amount to have started hw?

I wouldn't sweat playtime

ive leveled up 3 diff classes

lean talon

just know the msq will take a while

languid cosmos

thaum to 30, bard to 50, and dark to 50

or if you're the creator of FF, like a week

as long as you're having fun zero reason to stress about playtime.

i have like mega hype for the nier raid and im kinda sad its so far away

#

im just glad its permanent so i dont have to rush

fleet steppe
#

Lol

#

the questline for that is long and boring

languid cosmos
#

if its nier lore then i will not be bored

#

is it mostly just nier lore?

fleet steppe
#

eh

#

nah the quests revolve around helping 2 lalas explore the alliance raid areas

languid cosmos
#

also is the pod minion from the raid?

warm snow
#

There's 2

fleet steppe
#

and like helping 2b and 9s or whatever

warm snow
#

6 minions total from nier

lean talon
#

It's more of a Yoko Taro story than an addition to Nier lore

warm snow

2b,2p,9s,stubby,042,153

fleet steppe
#

2b 2p 9s stubby and 2 pod minions

languid cosmos
#

9s my beloved

warm snow
#

Yet you don't call him nines

#

Smh my head

languid cosmos
#

nines why

fleet steppe
#

yeah you get to beat up 9s, hes the final boss of the first raid

languid cosmos
#

i played with japanese audio and ||did not catch for a while that 2b started calling him nines||

true but i also kinda wanna catch up to endwalker

my impression of nier, having never played the game is:

3 weeks...

Might want to cut those losses

you can reasonably get to endwalker in a month from ARR if you read fast + have a lot of time

#

Where is the best place to learn tanking . Hall of novice will show the basics but for more advance learning should I stick with leveling dungeons or with end level dungeons that allows access to high end gear or maybe alliance raids .

lean talon
#

You got squadrons unlocked?

languid cosmos
#

i’d just go into dungeons and play

#

most people will help you at least a little

#

thats how i learned to tank

slender warren
#

guys is talking about crossworld linkshells a taboo subject?

warm snow
#

Why would it be?

slender warren
#

ive been trying to ask almost every day and got no answers xD was just wondering

warm snow
#

Most people just don't use them

lean talon
#

Watcha asking about CWLS?

slender warren
#

just want to know if there is a better way to find them other than community finder...cause i have tried there and im getting no luck

lean talon
#

unfortunately most groups just use discord

boreal storm
#

Or FC chat

lean talon
#

ff14 was the first community that heavily embraced discord, it's even on discord's website

slender warren
#

so my impression of CWLS is that let's say you want to do some treasure hunts, you join like a "treasure hunt linkshell" which consists of others who like doing the same, is that how it works?

lean talon
#

yup yup

faint flare
#

Linkshells are just private chat rooms basically

slender warren
#

ah ok gota ya

faint flare
#

Need to shout and look around for them

slender warren
#

got ya*

#

im in a great FC, it's just i am kind of new and would like to experience all the different things the game has to offer, but i think all the members of my FC have done pretty much everything and are just waiting for the next exp...

faint flare
#

That's basically everyone at this point

slender warren
#

so i was thinking the CWLS is the next option for me

faint flare
#

Outside of new people

slender warren
#

i see there is another thing called "fellowships"

#

is this pretty much the same as CWLS?

faint flare
#

Lol no

boreal storm
#

No

faint flare
#

They're literally just message boards with no chat rooms

lean talon
#

psst stay away from fellowship finder rn it's a mess

faint flare
#

Many people forget that they even exist

lean talon
#

iirc fellowships are a 1.0 hold over

faint flare
#

No

slender warren
#

ah ok

faint flare
#

It's this expansion

warm snow
#

They're brand new

#

And uber dead

#

It's where all the rtm guys moved too

lean talon
#

you're kidding

warm snow
#

Would I lie to you?

faint flare
#

It was a great idea on paper

#

But no chat rooms kills it

lone bone
#

yea they're quite niche but helpful of keeping track of people interested in raiding

#

for my community at least

faint flare
#

Message boards are so 2000 tech

lean talon
#

actually cracked wth

lone bone
#

its like a stopgap between recent contact, and friendslist but dont deserve on either list for when you look for them

slender warren
#

thanks all

so, why are nearly all of the items you get from Quick Explorations untradeable/sellable?

Which tomestone that i should gather before endwalker arrives again?

Is it poetics?

Looking for a fishing discord, is there one anyone knows of have a question about predator status.

cursive ridge

all of them will be tradable for poetics

faint flare

All tomes

#

You can enter endwalker with basically 3500

#

If you cap allegory and Revelation

dapper oyster
#

How about yellow and white script?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Yellow should convert into white at a 4:1 ratio

dapper oyster
#

Alright thanks!

hasty timber
#

i used a tome of folklore and it says a new page was added, but i dont see the new page anywhere, is it a new tab in my gathering log or something else?

cursive ridge
#

gathering log, click the tab icon for folklore items

#

not every gathering method will have a folklore entry at certain places

hasty timber
#

the tab icon?

cursive ridge
#

there's a button on your gathering log ui

hasty timber
#

is it this one

cursive ridge
#

yes

hasty timber
#

does level matter?i might be underleveled and its not showing up

boreal storm
#

If you used the book, it’d be there

cursive ridge
#

shouldnt let you learn the book if you're underlevel i think

#

you're loking at botany, have you learned mining book? switch

hasty timber
#

cause my miners 20 something

#

and i used the ishgard books without issue

#

i bought all the blue token ones and used them all

#

since it let me

cursive ridge
#

dunno why it let you learn them since those nodes are like level 60

hasty timber
#

maybe it'll show up once im 60

cursive ridge
#

it should

#

i know that master books for crafting definitely dont let you learn them until you become that level, weird that folklore books dont follow the same rules

hasty timber
#

yeah i was confused

#

i thought it'd show up and just say the level

#

but its just not there

#

so i assume it'll pop up eventually

faint flare
#

Make sure to look I'm both sections of that gathering log

#

Ie mining and quarrying

hasty timber
#

yep i did

#

theyre both empty

#

so i'll just have to wait til I reach 60

lilac nacelle

Is there a setting that shows the aoe of attacks or abilities you use on screen? (not the tooltip or description of the text)

faint flare
#

No

lilac nacelle
#

so an ability says 30y, how do I figure out how much that is exactly on screen, other than badly guessing

faint flare
#

Target something like a dummy and see when it greys out as you back away

heavy wadi
#

^

faint flare
#

For offensive skills at least

heavy wadi
#

also that's something you jut kinda... learn with time and playing more

lilac nacelle
#

hmm so I'd have to grab something that goes 15y, and then use twice that

faint flare
#

Aoe are just...feeling it

heavy wadi
#

there aren't really any scenarios where you need to know the specific distance away

#

just the Feel

lilac nacelle
#

I don't really work with feels

heavy wadi
#

a lot of this game will involve working with feels

lilac nacelle

especially considering the, what feels like a lack of feedback on abilities, 'learning' it just by going is really awful

If you're on the EU or JP servers, it might be prudent to use the ⚙️ to change your duty finder settings to allow more players speaking different languages to be matched with you!

its especially important if u play on the jpn servers or EU

German

Gotcha

I suppose that’d be good if you didnt need to talk to the group

solemn jewel

it allows you to be matched with someone who has only enabled french for example

quaint forge

If you see one of the letter was underlined, it is the player’s current client language they’re playing

you dont need to talk outside of actual hard content tbh

Ultimates are very different from Normal raids

i was asking tho

ultimates are not normal raids

not even close

haughty topaz

my bad forgot the "?"

warm snow

Ultimates were introduced in stormblood anyways

heavy wadi
#

no, ultimates cannot be unsynced

warm snow
#

Ever

#

Not now, not ever

#

They have a set exact item level

heavy wadi
#

they are meant to be extremely challenging

boreal storm
#

If you want those glowy weapons, you’re playing how the devs want

heavy wadi
#

more difficult than savage raids.

faint flare
#

For the top end players

haughty topaz
#

i just check most of the savage raids, they dont seem that hard, but the rewards are meh

#

thats why am thinking of ultimate as my end goal

haughty topaz
#

no

faint flare
#

People say that then wipe to tiles for 3 hours

boreal storm
#

Light rampant

warm snow
#

You need to clear savage before you can even unlock ultimates

faint flare

Looking at a guide where people do it perfectly is completely different

warm snow

Talk is cheap, takes money to buy bacon

faint flare

Than actually doing it

haughty topaz
#

IK man

boreal storm
#

Do you?

heavy wadi
#

the guide for TEA is 70 pages long.

haughty topaz
#

am just saying they dont seem even close to how hard ultimate is

warm snow
#

Clear e12s without the echo before you even consider ultimates

haughty topaz
#

all of them are actually really doable

warm snow
faint flare
#

Ultimates are purposely designed for the Devs to go all out

haughty topaz
#

yes hard, will wipe, but not that hard

faint flare

No holds barr

But you're coming off as very cocky

savage isnt that hard, yes i will wipe alot

Bis for tea is from e1-4s anyways

haughty topaz

but not as hard as people told me

warm snow
boreal storm
#

“Isn’t that hard”

haughty topaz
#

why are you so annoyed that i said savage isnt that hard ?

faint flare
#

Just stand here :)

warm snow
#

Because you're wrong

haughty topaz
#

yes i 100% know people will wipe alot when they do it

open ember
#

Savage isn't THAT hard no, but you need to know how to play your class and contribute accordingly before you can judge content

warm snow
open ember
#

You need to actually DO savage to have an opinion

open ember
#

I didn't say they were easy

warm snow
#

cough cough

haughty topaz
#

what worries me is being mechanically good, not being good at my class

warm snow
#

You need both

hasty musk
#

those are the same thing

haughty topaz
#

because you can practice alot solo

warm snow
#

And often the two intertwine

haughty topaz
#

but mechanics will need you to wipe alot

boreal storm
#

No

ripe hound
#

Oh no

warm snow
#

Anyone can muscle memory a rotation

ripe hound
#

You can't practice solo

faint flare
#

You need to be able to do your job WHILE doing mechanics

ripe hound
#

I can do a perfect BLM rotation on a dummy now

haughty topaz
#

i mean your rotation

ripe hound
#

I enter a fight and my brain stops

open ember
# warm snow .

Cant say content is easy unless youve done it yourself

warm snow
#

Actually doing your job well during mechanics makes you a good player

faint flare
#

And you need to do your rotation while doing mechanics

haughty topaz
faint flare
#

And knowing how to adjust it

hasty musk
#

savages do that

#

all content does that

warm snow
open ember
#

I fail to understand what's the real argument here

boreal storm
#

As do EXs

haughty topaz
#

not as hard to

#

tho *

faint flare
#

Savage and extremes do it

warm snow
#

Before ultimates are even a factor

heavy wadi
#

doing your rotation and resolving mechanics at the same time is what makes savage difficult. knowing your rotation alone will not make savages easy for you.

faint flare
#

Each fight you need to adjust

ripe hound
faint flare
#

Ultimates just have more mechanics and vastly overlapping mechanics

#

And rapid execution

I'm in the UK what is the best buy option for the game?

Talking about ultimates before you've even done savage is like talking about a marathon before you can even do 100m

idk, but from what i have seen, savage seems hard but, not as hard as people make it sound like, ultimate on the other hand,, oof

You don’t know

good god i get it

I mean, expect that response if you go 'idk man...' rigbht before your statement

#

and they're correct too

open ember
#

You can watch a savage fight and then say "boom" its easy

faint flare
#

Savage prog takes anywhere between a day or two to a few hundred hours depending on the group

open ember
#

Do it first, then come back with an opinion

haughty topaz
#

idk how you guys make me sound like someone saying savage is EZ

warm snow
#

Savage is hard

open ember
#

You literally said "it wasn't that hard"

haughty topaz
#

yes

warm snow
#

You don't get to say it isn't when you haven't even done it

ripe hound
#

I think what we are trying to say is, we don't think you actually understand how hard Savage is

open ember
#

I personally don't think its THAT hard because I myself have done them

#

But that's MY opinion

#

I dont make opinions for others

ripe hound
#

It is true that it isn't THAT hard, but we still think you are clearly underestimating it

sharp forge
#

Real question is how in hell fc buffs work. Someone said you have to craft them or spend fc points and i dont understand :c. Can only the fc leader buy them?

heavy wadi
#

yes

#

and people that the fc leader allows to buy them

haughty topaz
#

people made savage sound like 90% of what ultimate is

sharp forge
#

hmm where do they buy them?

heavy wadi
#

from their affiliated gc

haughty topaz
#

and that its almost not doable for most people

sharp forge
#

ah okay

open ember
#

Instead of talking about it here, go do it for yourself

ripe hound
outer mural
#

It's a take I agree with where Savage isn't nearly as bad as ultimate, but do not underplay how hard Savage is for most people

haughty topaz
#

everytime i want to work on a savage raid i get answered with " huh, good luck with that"

Probably a silly question but squadron battle manuals stack with heat of the battle correct? Ngl someone told me to use my squadron for battle manuals and now I have like 80 and no clue what to do with them lmao

They're the same buff the manual is just the equivalent of a level 3 buff

Squadron is Tier 3 Fc buff

#

honestly not really for the number of seals you may have to put in

Like, this is the single buff that is best used from squadron

But it's not avaliable

sharp forge
#

hmmm

#

sorry, squadrons give buffs now?

#

i'm confused

faint flare
#

The last tier of missions

#

The weekly ones

#

Squadrons give tickets that are a 2h version of a level 3 fc buff

cunning loom
#

squadrons give consumables that grant buffs

faint flare
#

Give solo tier 3 Fc buffs

ripe hound
#

Yeah you get one stack of buffs every week
