questions-and-help

[boreal storm]

It’s lvl 47 msq

So they literally can’t miss the prerequisite

[cursive ridge]

then they already completed this quest and stopped further up the chain

[jade quartz]

Just to be certain, you’re looking in the waking sands and not the rising stones?

[leaden ginkgo]

I've looked in both locations for both quests

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Zombies_Are_People_Too

[cursive ridge]

search for them in your journal completed section

you are likely to have already done them and stopped at a different point later

[leaden ginkgo]

http://puu.sh/IoFta/6b2c792927.png

I haven't done that one, but I have done "The Black Wolf's Ultimatum"

so the "Can't do it Without U" should be next? but I can't find it?

[jade quartz]

Is this a pic of your journal? Because Black Wolf’s Ultimatum is a level 46 MSQ

So you haven’t got there yet

[cursive ridge]

it's filtered by search term

[jade quartz]

Oh right

My bad

[leaden ginkgo]

It's filtered

[vivid bough]

For farming EX Mounts, are the drop rates good or do I need to run them a lot? I'm considering sending out a Party Finder thing, but don't know how long anyone would be down to carry me for drops.

[boreal storm]

They’re decent

[vivid bough]

because id only be like 61 in a lvl 50 ex trial

[leaden ginkgo]

and the quest isn't here - http://puu.sh/IoFua/ac127643a7.png

[boreal storm]

You can also just be unlucky tho

[vivid bough]

alright

[jade quartz]

You’re not inside the waking Sands

[cursive ridge]

waking sands is the inside of the scions inn

[vivid bough]

ill just send out the pf thing and see if anyone will do them w me 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh.... I have to go inside.... wow I'm level 75 and an idiot sandwhich too.. ty

[jade quartz]

It’s a separate instance, you can’t see the quest markers on the map

[boreal storm]

Pray return

[vivid bough]

you'll figure it out

I believe they give you tickets that teleports you to the area

[jade quartz]

He’s long past that part of MSQ

[cursive ridge]

sacrilege, this server has no pray return emote

[jade quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/minfilia-gif-23067537

[cursive ridge]

pictured: minfilia actually doing something
so this is fake

[umbral dune]

i did not use the vesper bay ticket, that is a waste right?

[cursive ridge]

you rarely have reason to go there after MSQ

so you should use them during msq as much as you can

[neat patrol]

Is there a Macro/Setting, that can auto-hide UI until engaged in combat?

[jade quartz]

It’s an April fools meme the devs made

[steep egret]

you get wayyyy more tickets than you actually need

[pallid hearth]

Guys, where to get these armor? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Ryumyaku_Armor
There are ones in exchange but in order to get the Dai-Ryumyaku set, it needs Ryumyaku. I can't find where to get them

[jade quartz]

Minfilia takes credit for Yda’s win in a fighting game

So it’s not out of character

[cursive ridge]

not really, i ran out of them only having used them for MSQ and still sometimes had quests direct me there

[steep egret]

uhhh, confused

i had over a dozen extras

[cursive ridge]

no longer available to players

Dai- is the augmented version, same looks, can be dyed, +10 ilvl

[boreal storm]

Can’t you just buy the Dai set with poetics or something

[jade quartz]

Wiki out of date. You can buy Dai-ryumyaku directly from tomestone vendors in Rhalgr’s Reach

The non-Dai version is just the undyeable version and was removed.

[fresh dagger]

hey I have all 6 ARR horses but the kirin quest isnt spawning, is there something else I have to do like turning in the unlock quests or whatever?

[cursive ridge]

there's a badge at the top of the page that says that this is no longer available so it's not outdated

[jade quartz]

True

[pallid hearth]

Hold on hold on, I'm checking the NPC one by one. The ones I found was indeed purchase-able with poetics but it needs the Ryumyaku

[boreal storm]

The elemental horses right, not nightmare?

[fresh dagger]

I have him too but supposedly thats not required

all 6 elemental horses and nightmare

[jade quartz]

Speak to the tomestone exchange, poetics 1.

[fresh dagger]

still not spawning in mor dhona

[cursive ridge]

that's for augmenting one if a player still has the old one

[umbral dune]

then you miss 1 of levithan, ramuh, shiva

[jade quartz]

They sell dai-ryumyaku gear

Straightforward as that

[warped nest]

Nightmare is not required

[fresh dagger]

I have all 3 of them

[warped nest]

And there are only 6 elemental horse mount

[pallid hearth]

Cool! Thanks! I found the NPC! 😄

[jade quartz]

Speak to the Wandering Minstrel

He may have several quests available and the map only shows the top one

So speak to him to make sure

[fresh dagger]

I cant seem to find him at all

[boreal storm]

He’s in the bar outside the rising stone

[jade quartz]

Right outside the door into the rising stones

[fresh dagger]

oh

[cursive ridge]

these are the ones that you need to get

[fresh dagger]

all the guides said he was at (21,8)

so I looked there

which is about 50 feet due east of his actual location

[warped nest]

The grid has decimal values

[cursive ridge]

and the grid square is 50 by 50 feet

[warped nest]

NPC rarely stands exactly the said coordinate, wherever you get that coordinate from

[fresh dagger]

yeah they were rounding lmao

[warped nest]

Yeah, lol

[lament kiln]

heyo question about Astrologian: in early levels, when playing a card, how do you "choose" what player to apply the card to? like, if you get a blue card, do you just find the closest melee and give it to them?

[cursive ridge]

blue border cards for melee, red border cards for ranged

[lament kiln]

so i should just tag any ol' melee player?

[cursive ridge]

theoretically you choose the person with the highest DPS but you have to run a DPS meter to know that

[lament kiln]

roger that

[cursive ridge]

so just give it to anybody

it's not going to make or break stuff

[fresh dagger]

we did it gang, kirin pre-3.0 on free trial

[lament kiln]

got it, makes sense. then eventually build up to playing cards to get seals

[cursive ridge]

all else being equal, the 'selfish' jobs get more benefit from it

like SAM and BLM

the jobs without raid buffs

[pallid hearth]

Does the glam dresser only available in barracks and Inn? Can I somehow get one in my apartment or house?

[lament kiln]

@cursive ridge thanks very much - appreciate the help!

[cursive ridge]

only inn and barracks

breaks the game if you add it other places

[jade quartz]

High level ast play involves knowing what jobs are reaching their burst phases at certain times of the fight and buffing them accordingly

[steep egret]

no you can't, they tried that, it causes too many issues

[jade quartz]

But in casual content this isn’t feasible

[cursive ridge]

but the burst windows are moving closer together in endwalker

[boreal storm]

Spaghetti

[pallid hearth]

Ughhh have to run back to the barracks / Inn for editing my glam 😦
Good to know tho, thanks again! You guys are awesome~

I hope it's possible in EW

[cursive ridge]

no info on that

[solemn jewel]

I'd be just happy with a plate overhaul

[cursive ridge]

what would be helpful is being able to apply job-based glamours, like applying CRP/BSM/etc glamours to the same item. otherwise all these cool crafting job glamours are never going to be used

[warped nest]

That's even more data you need to cram around

[cursive ridge]

well otherwise nobody is going to bother with crafter-job-specific glamour

they'll just glam it to maid outfit and call it a day

[steep egret]

its less Spaghetti, more that there are hundreds of items attached to the dresser, which can cause issues inside shared instances
its a lot of work to make sure that a movable Dresser, doesn't break things in a shared area, where each person has potentially 400 items in their own dresser 😦
trust me, as a systems engineer, the glamour dresser sounds like a nightmare to code into a shared space safely so it doesn't crash the server, or corrupt characters dresser data

[cursive ridge]

they just need to make it so when a character interacts with the dresser, they phase out for everyone else

problem solved

[pearl mesa]

When you say "they", do you mean the character or the dresser or both?

[cursive ridge]

the character

[warped nest]

So, like the player move into a solo instance

[cursive ridge]

make the dresser a big wardrobe a player physically walks in

[warped nest]

Where they don't see other players?

[cursive ridge]

so you cant see what happens inside

[warped nest]

Almost like an inn room?

[cursive ridge]

basically a shortcut to a solo instance

[pearl mesa]

Actually, having a "dressing room" accessible from the apartment/house would work, I think.

I mean, I don't know about the tech side, but from a player side, that'd be pretty much what I want.

[steep egret]

that assumes, that is the only problem
there is also the matter of loading the dresser data, if they pre-load the data in instances per character (which is highly likely considering the number of items and how we know other MMOs have done storage before), that means, teh housing instances, will have to be built to be able to handle the amount of dresser data, per character that can be inside the house at a time, multiple that by 400 potential items, and you start seeing scale issues

[steep egret]

this would be probably the easiest way to implement it yea

at least from a technical perspective

[cursive ridge]

not really. make it so when you click on glamour dresser, you move from current instance to a separate solo instance. players won't mind waiting a couple of seconds to load if it means not running to an inn room

[steep egret]

yup yup, thats also another good option, definitely

anything that turns it into a single player instance

will remove the source of the original issue

they spoke about it a a bit a few years ago here:
https://gamerescape.com/2018/06/17/e3-2018-interview-with-naoki-yoshida-and-masayoshi-soken/

Gamer Escape: I’m curious why we haven’t seen the glamour dresser as a furnishing item yet?

look for that

[pearl mesa]

On the other hand, as I understand it, the issue is that they're dealing with a mountain of spaghetti code left over from 1.0, and the glam situation is not the top of their priority list.

[cursive ridge]

there's no 'impossible' in programming, especially when you fully control the system you want to modify

there's 'clunky' and 'bodge', but not 'impossible'

[steep egret]

well its less 1.0 spaghetti code, more 2.0 spaghetti code
they confirmed a while back that 1.0 code was dumped and 2.0 was all new
BUT 2.0 was rushed out in 2-3 years, which is insane for most MMOs, so there are a lot of things they wish they had done differently which require big back-end reworks to be able to change them now

[pearl mesa]

There's only so much clunk you can pile on top of clunk before the whole thing falls over, though.

[steep egret]

2.0 rushed code, is why older ARR dungeons aren't upgraded to newer ones

the old dungeons are a nightmare apparently, from a code perspective

[pearl mesa]

Oh, they're horrible all around. Good to know.

[steep egret]

basically, anything that started in ARR, and hasn't been reworked, probably needs some changes before a proper rework and adjustments can be done
they said a while back, they did re-write the entire chocobo companion code, even though it didn't change much on the player side

the only 1.0 code that exists in teh game technically, is code to import legacy player data to be compatible with the game as of 2.0

[pearl mesa]

I think they've said they'd like to fix the class-weapon system too, because issues like the thing in Bozja where you need to be carrying around a spare weapon of the correct type are absurd.

[steep egret]

they have also said, they have a list of things they want to change/fix from old systems, but its a balancing act,
they also need to keep making new content for patches and expansions, so things get prioritised
Glamour in houses, not really a high priority
same with fixing old dungeons, easier to develop new ones, and players prefer new ones, not like the old ones are going anywhere
but things like, the stat squish coming, kinda priority as it causes server performance issues if they keep letting numbers get out of control

[jade quartz]

Chocobo companions used to not be useable while in queue for a dungeon, and take up a party slot meaning you couldn’t have a full 8 players

Also their AI was borked, e.g. if you unlocked the level 10 healer ability it would actually make them worse because the bo would just endlessly spam medica

[pearl mesa]

Yeah. There's a priority list. They're working down it.

On the chocobo front, is there any way to teach the stupid bird to not stand in bad?

[warm yacht]

What should I do when the game says it can't find my config data?

[steep egret]

haha, not that i know of

[warm yacht]

I don't want to recreate a dozen hotbar setups

[pearl mesa]

Did you have them backed up?

[jade quartz]

That kind of AI would be prohibitively difficult to implement

So much pathing data and decision making

[steep egret]

config data is stored in your Documents folder, under My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn

character have their own folders

did you delete anything there?

[warm yacht]

no

[steep egret]

the game doesn't make automatic backups

so if the data is broken, you may have no choice

[warm yacht]

all my character data is there

[steep egret]

check permissions, do you have full access to that folder?

if you do, then data is likely corrupted

you can also try rebooting, could be something else is locking the files

do that first

[warm yacht]

it reverts to read only somehow

ill restart

[clear cove]

whats the difference between regular and augmented rath glam?

[pearl mesa]

Augmented can be dyed.

[clear cove]

o

ty

oh shit this changes everything

[spark pollen]

what would suit better a blm

[clear cove]

fuck i need to farm more

[spark pollen]

tank or healer companion?

[umbral dune]

you mean chocobo companion? healer>>>>tank

[solemn jewel]

Everyone specs the choco the same

[spark pollen]

yes

[solemn jewel]

Healer until choco cure and then attacker

Tank is useless

[open rivet]

Do I have to encounter 3 dolphin swarms in a single voyage for the achievement to trigger, or do something when they appear?
I've met 2 at my last voyage, but it's still at 0/3

[steep egret]

omg, it makes levelling alt jobs, sooo much easier

[umbral dune]

unless you are grinding fate, companion usefulness/contribution rarely matter in leveling cus the exp from dungeon/potd outmatch it vastly

[leaden ginkgo]

So if I crafted 10 items of the wrong piece, and the market of that piece isnt really that well, should I sell them slowly or am I better off using desynth and crafting what I actually wanted to

[pallid hearth]

cmiiw the reward for completing weekly masked carnivale is only the poetic and allied seals?

[open rivet]

ye all blu stuff is just allied seals & poetics

[pallid hearth]

aww well good enough, I guess. They're pretty useful

[umbral dune]

check the market history, if it too scarce a buyer, get rid of those, wasting both space and time to sell those

[leaden ginkgo]

There are buyers, but mostly buying NQ pieces, not HQ

And selling for NQ basically makes profit 0

[warm yacht]

Same issue after restarting :/

Isn't there a way to restore config data from the servers?

[steep egret]

servers dont store client config data

[steep egret]

unless there is an option for it, i thnk there was something like that somewhere

???

[pearl mesa]

There's a way to back it up, yes.

But it has to be done manually.

[steep egret]

yeah there are backup options in teh char select screen

and in the launcher somewhere

but they are manual

id make a copy of the config folder

then let the game rewrite the configs

and see if you can just copy back the hotbar files

and hope they are ok

a lof ot the char file names speak for themselves, so restore one by one and see what you can salvage

[warm yacht]

You mean the .cfg file, right

[umbral dune]

CHR folder

[steep egret]

look in the CHR folder

thats ur character data

[warm yacht]

Ah

[steep egret]

i dunno what the stuff outside does

youll see hotbar, macros, etc

in their own files

so take a copy of everything

let the game write new ones, then try restoring hotbars for example

make sure the game is closed when you copy the files over

then hope it works

ah i know now, the FFXIV_CHARA files are the saved character data, for when you save a character's looks on the login screen
MACROSYS.dat, would be the shared macros, between characters id think

[warm yacht]

fuck all my setups are gone ;n;

literally gonna need 2 hrs to get everything setup again wtf...

[leaden ginkgo]

Can someone please pop up the faq for machinist

/faq machinist

[steep egret]

rip, this is why i have full computer backups run every day, can't forget to backup something manually if the whole computer is backed up daily

[green grail]

any specific question?

if you do !faq machinist in #kupo-bot-spam you should get a list

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes I wanna set up a decent rotation for machinist.... I haven't played in a while....

Just reached 68, how should I be using Requiescat optimally?

[faint flare]

5 holy spirits under it

[leaden ginkgo]

What is the best general rotation for mch?

Use on CD?

[faint flare]

Yes

After FoF

[leaden ginkgo]

So use at pulls?

[faint flare]

FoF phase > requie phase > unbuffed phase > Repeat

[umbral dune]

no, cast holy spirit without requiescat

[leaden ginkgo]

So my opener would be DoT Combo -> FoF -> Req?

[obsidian patio]

!faq mchguide

[zinc orbit]

Dook's 5.5 MCH Guide

http://bit.ly/MCH-Guide

[leaden ginkgo]

Or maybe FoF before the DoT GCD

[faint flare]

Fast > FoF > riot > goring > rest of FoF stuff

Then requie after the second goring as the dot is applied

You always get 2 Gorings and 2 Royal authority combos (Replace one with Atonement at 76) under FoF

[leaden ginkgo]

how do I unlock all level 80 dungeons so I can do level 80 duty roulette?

[faint flare]

Unlock the two optional dungeons in the crystarium and Eulmore slums

Ontop of finish story

[warm yacht]

yeah all my hotbars are totally fcked

hud too

literally 2+ hrs of work to play the game again... not gonna put up with that tn

Dont even have my gearsets

[patent citrus]

what happened @warm yacht

[warm yacht]

Something with my config data

dunno what

gonna have to recreate all my personal stuff from scratch

[patent citrus]

is this one drive thing again?

[limpid matrix]

Sorry i have question
i don't see up in arms quest even with my weapon equipped did i just miss something?

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I open the quests bar?

[patent citrus]

type /journal

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah its called journal

okay ty!

should I be taking gold or item rewards from the main story quest?

[faint flare]

Always gear if it's an upgrade

The story is meant to gear you

[leaden ginkgo]

What's the fastest starter city

Uldah?

[solemn jewel]

Fast in what way

[leaden ginkgo]

Fastest to finish quests

[solemn jewel]

Uh

Don't think any is faster

What quests specifically?

Uldah aetheryte is closest to the GC hq but that's bout it

[leaden ginkgo]

MSQ

1-15

[honest anvil]

same length ~

[solemn jewel]

Ye it doesn't matter they're all the same.
Just pick whatever starter class u like

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the 40 character limit for the account or for DC

[solemn jewel]

Account i think

Are u making an alt?

[leaden ginkgo]

okie thanks, wasn't sure if there were better ways to gear up

[alpine shadow]

account

[warm snow]

This also assumes you're doing your job quests

[leaden ginkgo]

I am yeah, do they typically give the better gear?

[warm snow]

Not til the final quest of an expansion

At level 50/60/70 they give a set of job specific gear

Msq will keep you geared until then

But job specific gear is a decent jump in power

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, thanks

[uncut quarry]

Is any of the art in the ARR credits available without the credits? like in an artbook or online somewhere?

[warm snow]

I can't say for sure but there are art books for every expansion

As for whether or not they're currently stocked

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[wind zephyr]

how do I "return" to the client registration page?

when we first downloaded the ffxiv client there will be a registration page available for a square enix accounr

but after register it just brings me to the login page now

I wanna recreate a second account

but i cant do it through the sqaure enix official website because of my region

[civic nimbus]

anyone know if I can wear a hat over the snow version of the pulse hair?

[cursive ridge]

different data centers

steam has data centers all over the globe so there's one near you

[solemn jewel]

Just let it download over the night

Doesn't need to download in one sitting

[limpid matrix]

Sorry i have question
Is ninja harder than monk?

I can't really compare them

[limber hound]

From what I heard

NIN has really busy burst windows, while MNK is generally faster

I only actually know MNK though

[modest igloo]

Ninja is hard if you struggle to remember the mudras and cant hit keys fast enough for TA stuff

MNK is harder if you cant remember positionals

both also have the uptime shenanigans

[steep egret]

the mudras kinda put me off at first, but ive warmed up to them, the annoying thing is when you hit them too fast, and one misses, and you dont know which so you summon the shame bunny 😛

then again, im only level 50

[stiff fiber]

are there any achievement titles for finishing shb relic?

[modest igloo]

I don't believe so

i know theres the ARR once but i cant recall if theres one for anima

[stiff fiber]

[clever roost]

is Grade 4 Skybuilders’ Iron Ore and Skybuilders’ Iron Ore the same??

[honest anvil]

no

grade 4 is the current one from diadem

no grade is the old old one that idt is obtainable now

[clever roost]

okay then why does it ask for it in this recipe T.T

[honest anvil]

can still use them to craft if you have any leftover but grade 3 4 are current ones now

[clever roost]

it wont take my grade 4

[honest anvil]

craft the stuff in restoration (4)

or 3

[clever roost]

ahh i see thank you!!

[honest anvil]

the recipes are forever there cause some people might still have the mats

[clever roost]

one more question

can you buy manuals from the market board? the ones that increase exp gain for crafting?

[honest anvil]

no, rowena or GC seals

or job quests

[clever roost]

got thank you!!

another thing do i need to hand in the finished alloy once i craft them?

[honest anvil]

only if you want the exp and the scrips and all the rewards

[clever roost]

okay thank you very much for answering my questions 😄

[void cargo]

What's the most efficient way to level fisher from 65-80? I heard that its levequest spam & ocean fishing whenever they are up, is that accurate?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

Ocean fishing is 20-ish minutes of easy work for a couple levels of experience

And fisher leves work just like crafter leves where you just turn in items

Which means you can buy the needed fish from the MB

[void cargo]

I'm guessing that collectables for fisher is much harder to do compared to miner and botanist? Garlandtools doesn't show a lot of the collectibles for fisher

[glacial ore]

for wonderous trails can i do the seals as one job E.G Dragoon and claim it as another job to get the exp for the 2nd job?

[golden sundial]

Yeah you can. Can also do unsynced things and still get clear points.

[jade quartz]

Garlandtools shows all the fish collectibles

It’s basically just chance based on perception stat though. No minigame like with BTN MIN

[ember gate]

so i made my square enix account by logging in with steam or whatever and idk how to login with the launcher

[steep egret]

i dont think you can convert to launcher

as in, you're trying to play the non-steam version?

[ember gate]

nah i bought it on steam

[steep egret]

uh ok, doo you know your account info?

[ember gate]

hmm

lemme try something maybe im just being dumb

[steep egret]

for steam version, you still create a Square Enix account, you have to then add the key from steam, to ur account on mogstation

that is my understanding anyway

[ember gate]

oh i see

but i already have an account?

[umbral dune]

you need Square account to log in FF14 launcher

[fallen elk]

just become scholar, did a quick search on our great friend google and it mentioned that there is no difference between eos and selene, is that correct?

[umbral dune]

yes

[steep egret]

so, you just launch the game from steam, then login with that account, i guess is how it works

[void cargo]

Is there a way to filter only the collectibles? For miner and botanist its easy because you can just type rarefied on the search bar, but for fishing, none of them have the name rarefied on them

[ember gate]

is it seperate from a regular square account?

[umbral dune]

that same account name and password

[ember gate]

i clicked this lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey I'm wondering how to get and use reflect L to grind in Eureka Pyros all the guides i see are showing it being used but now how to get it

[umbral dune]

oh, we talking about the game launcher, that was the store which you would still want to log in with Square account

[ember gate]

oh i see

so it is separate kinda

[steep egret]

just dont buy Expansions from the Square store, if you purchase and play the game on steam, you are stuck with purchasing all expansions on steam

[ember gate]

ight

ok i made an account lemme try again

[steep egret]

if you haven't already, you need to take the cdkey from steam, and enter it in your Square account on mogstation

[ember gate]

yup

[steep egret]

beyond all that, im kinda guessing, i dont play on Steam

so if there is still probs maybe someone else can help

[ember gate]

yeah that worked

im in the launcher now

so with dlc i would go to the square site and use the keys there right?

[solemn jewel]

Mogstation yes

[umbral dune]

you buy the code from steam and enter it on mogstation, all your account management are done there

[ember gate]

uh err

where would i find where to put the codes?

o wait

i think i found it

yeah i got it

do i have to wait to use the Endwalker code or?

[solemn jewel]

You can't use the game code yet, just the pre order access/item code

[ember gate]

alright thanks

sorry for being so ignorant lol

[umbral dune]

this channel is for new player question, nothing to be shy, scare, afraid of

[solemn jewel]

Ur not ignorant!!

It's silly complicated shit

[ember gate]

lol

although i do feel a little dumb not knowing how accounts work XD

thank you tho i appreciate the help

[icy charm]

does frontline give HW relic light?

[umbral dune]

if your gear and stat are completely ignored in frontline, the fact that you are equipping relic mean naught so no

[icy charm]

I see, thanks! It's because IIRC, Frontline gave light to ARR relic during that phase, so I thought the same for HW relic.

[umbral dune]

people still say A9S the fastest if you can get a group, otherwise ARR 50 dungeon unsync

[uncut quarry]

is there something I need to do before?

[fossil bloom]

yes, spend your GC seals

buy something

[uncut quarry]

oh

right

[umbral dune]

it likes 5k seals reward

[lethal mist]

How does "Adventurer in need" work? The moment I press to queue up, it triggers? Or can it change whilst waiting?

[honest anvil]

it snaps shot for you the moment you queue

[lethal mist]

Ok good. What if it changes whilst I'm looking at the queue but haven't clicked the button? Assume I can get fucked there tho, right?

[honest anvil]

erm, ye, if you havent pressed queue then ye, no bonus

[flat torrent]

If I change my grand company do I lose anything?

[umbral dune]

no, they are freeze until you return

[charred elk]

how do you know if the NPC can repair your items?

[flat torrent]

this icon should be on the map next to him 🙂

[umbral dune]

they have 'melder' in name

[lethal mist]

Not always but something like that yes.

[charred elk]

thanks

[lethal mist]

Sometimes it's "tinkerer" or whatever.

[charred elk]

I think you meant mender. I went to melder just to confirm xD

or is there really a melder?

[leaden granite]

will the current lvl 80 crafts from diadem give exp in EW?

[honest anvil]

ye even now you can see them giving exp iirc

you just can’t receive them exp

[leaden granite]

oh yea u right

nice, then ima sit on my mats till EW release

[heady knot]

any w ays to get grade 7 dark matter fast

[honest anvil]

[hasty musk]

pretty sure you can just buy it from a normal vendor

[honest anvil]

cheap af too

[obsidian patio]

I buy mine with GC seals

[limpid matrix]

Ah ty

[fossil bloom]

[pure thorn]

does anyone know if there's a way to take the number out of hotbars? for example, the number '3' on my 'hotbar 3' sits in a spot exactly where I wanted to put another element

[knotty elk]

yes in hotbar settings

display hotbar numbers

[pure thorn]

ah thanks

[umbral dune]

Oh yeah, you are right, the melder is for materia, mender for repairing gear

[dreamy oyster]

Who can I buy more Gysahl Greens from?

[patent citrus]

warp to limsa aetheryte plaza, look around you for a lala NPC called Bango Zango

[green grail]

most merchants in field zones sell them

like random "merchant & mender" npc's

[barren granite]

GM... QQ is 15 the max amount of slots we can have for glams ?

[obsidian patio]

for plates, yes.

[barren granite]

nothing we can do to add to it ?

[obsidian patio]

nope

[patent citrus]

naw

[barren granite]

kk ty

[fossil bloom]

are there any specific rewards for clearing stb and shb's optional trials?

[heady knot]

yea i though rtheres a better way but tehres not ok thanks

[fossil bloom]

as in ||the four chinese lords|| and ||the FFVII weapons||

[patent citrus]

stories, more variety for roulette, poetics, more wondrous trail second chance

[solemn jewel]

The exe ones drop mounts

[fossil bloom]

mmm

okay, thanks

tbh i'm not feeling as enthused as when i did ||the FFVI warring triad||

[graceful harness]

Does anyone know what top this is?

[dreamy oyster]

Thanks I found it 🙂

[patent citrus]

buy 999 and never have to buy them again 😁

[solemn jewel]

The weapon trials are just worth it for the Story

[twilit arch]

hempen camise, but it only looks like that on female elezen

[fossil bloom]

then right now i probably shouldn't be doing the ||FFVII weapons||

considering what happened yesterday and earlier today, i'm in the headspace to just skip every cutscene

[graceful harness]

Thanks a lot

[obsidian patio]

only by talking to him

and by checking the raid finder

[potent shoal]

about to hit 60 and went and bought a full set of scaevan gear instead of shire gear

[boreal storm]

How

[potent shoal]

by being too tired and not paying attention

[sinful holly]

whats the best Triple Triad card for me to farm and sell for mgp?

[obsidian patio]

Probably King Elmer in the gold saucer

you can use a strategy that wins like 90% of the time, and never loses

and his rewards are a 3-star and 5-star card

and the strategy doesn't even need good/hard-to-get cards

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prkU76Mhm3g

[sinful holly]

ty ty, i just blew most of mine on buying cards haha

[obsidian needle]

So i decided to try obtaining a skysteel tool and progress it this week. Made it to dragonsung and im thinking about postponing this relic until endwalker. Seems like it will be so much easier to complete then right?

[obsidian patio]

assuming Trained Eye works on Expert Recipes, then 100% yes

if not, then it's a simple matter of having enough stats to trivialize it with a macro.

[obsidian needle]

Same with gathering too? The hq chance on those nodes will be much higher with level 90 gear?

[obsidian patio]

not sure about gathering, I never touched the gathering side of the skysteel tools.

Also HQ gathering items are going to be removed in Endwalker, so the gathering steps will be reworked as a whole.

So it might either become grinding collectables, or just gathering a bunch of NQ items

[obsidian needle]

Alright, thanks. That actually sounds good, especially for fishing

[leaden ginkgo]

guys

how can I get the camera to auto focus on my target?

[umbral dune]

fishing still have some sort of HQ with a naming change to "large-size" rather than calling HQ

you mean always facing your target so that w move key will move you straight toward the target? @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

[umbral dune]

standard camera

[leaden ginkgo]

but I don't like the movement of the standard camera :/

is there no inbetween??

I only want it during targetting my enemy

and not regular walks

On standard camera, if I walk (without targetting enemy) it keeps moving my camera

which I don't like

[obsidian patio]

you can use a keybind to lock onto the enemy. It's numpad 5 and found in the movement section of the keybind menu

there's also an option to auto lock-on in Character settings -> General -> Targeting

though I don't like the lock-on feature in general since it restricts camera movement which can be vital in some fights

since sometimes the arena itself and not the boss gives hints/tells to upcoming mechanics

[leaden ginkgo]

whats it called in the movement section if I may ask?

lock camera on target

[obsidian patio]

not sure, but look for the option that uses numpad 5 as the keybind

[leaden ginkgo]

got it!

ima try it out! tyvm!

[rain needle]

hello there, i've recently got a 2560 x 1440 monitor but my ffxiv settings in borderless fullscreen sets the resolution to 1920 x 1080, i've read that borderless fullscreen sets it to the native resolution so i can't figure out why it's at 1920x1080, anyone got a similar issue? any ideas what's going on?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes my friend, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

[pure thorn]

you know those messages 'your mount can fly no higher' that popup and makes a sound? is there a way to take that out?

[leaden ginkgo]

Uhm. during battle my character walks really slow. I can barely dodge the boss (and many times I can't dodge the boss).

Am I missing a specific button?

[warped nest]

Perhaps you locked on to the boss?

[umbral dune]

wait, do you running slower than other player like need to pop sprint just to barely matching their speed?

[solemn jewel]

Might be stuck rp walking

[glass oxide]

What is the best way to get BLU spells feather rain and glass dance?

[obsidian patio]

Character Config > Log Window Settings > General

[obsidian patio]

Do Garuda Extreme and Shiva Extreme synced for 100% learn chance

Or just spam unsynced and hope you learn it

[glass oxide]

Do I go all BLU or is it better to have other jobs too?

[obsidian patio]

I recommend normal tanks, TBH

BLU tanks are a bit squishy

And can’t tank-swap easily as needed

[glass oxide]

Would 2T 2H 4BLU be good?

[glossy flare]

1 tank 7 blus is fine

2 tanks if you really wanna be safe for some reason

[obsidian needle]

You can solo shiva as level 70 blue with some good spells

[boreal storm]

They want to learn their spells

[obsidian patio]

Shiva definitely wants 2 tanks due to the weapon swap mechanic.

[glass oxide]

I see

[glossy flare]

right

[glass oxide]

thanks for the answers

[boreal storm]

Glass dance will kill you if you aren’t behind Shiva

[leaden ginkgo]

im doing a solo boss so I don't know tbh

[leaden ginkgo]

ah do I need to unlock to boss to run faster?

[empty mural]

@lone totem @idle loom just in case your curious, cross platform between ps4/ps5 was flawless with free trial. Ty for help yesterday.

[warped nest]

@leaden ginkgo it depends on what's happening on your character right now

If you locked onto it (not the same as targeting a boss)

[leaden ginkgo]

it wasn't happening just now, that's weird. let me try agian

[warped nest]

Then your character would be in this kinda sorta third person view

That makes your character walk toward or away from the locked on target

Or strafe around them

[boreal storm]

The back walk is slow, and will get you killed eventually

[leaden ginkgo]

I will fight the boss now and keep u informed

[warped nest]

If possible, take a screenshot

If it happened again

[spiral mango]

is there a way to have specific keybinds for each class

[faint flare]

No

[spiral mango]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm

so i noticed sidewalks are faster then backwalk

and if I unlock

the boss

then I can do sidewalk to move away from the boss

so that was probably it

[glossy flare]

you can use legacy controls for a regular speed backwalk

[leaden ginkgo]

Really? how?

[glossy flare]

or be me and you're so used to the weird side walk that legacy controls feel wrong

[boreal storm]

Go in settings

[glossy flare]

character config -> control settings -> movement type

[steep egret]

im used to other mmos, where backwalk is slow, so strafing to move quickly out of boss AoEs is natural to me

[leaden ginkgo]

i have it already in legacy

the movement type

but backwalks still very slow?

[steep egret]

actually the entire movement behaviour is almost identical to an old MMO i used to play a loot

[outer zinc]

Looking for group to spam dgns need to lvl my classes im on lamia will be sitting in uldah at an empty table

[glossy flare]

it... shouldn't

[indigo lion]

Is there a way to tell if a weapon per chance is in a gear set on mobile or can you just see that stuff through game?

[leaden ginkgo]

This story boss is so difficult :/

[leaden ginkgo]

Thats weird.. it is for me during battle

[faint flare]

Don't use lock on

It's fucking shit

[boreal storm]

Go to the target settings

Also take the lodestone button off your hotbar, it’s useless

[vale torrent]

should i add materia to my gear or should i wait for endealker since i’m not a extremely heavy raider and i’m going to switch gear when ew comes out anyway

[faint flare]

Materia is an endgame thing

[vale torrent]

so i shouldn’t need to worry bout it then

[spiral mango]

is there a video that explains how all non-combat jobs work together with each other

[limpid merlin]

Dose anyone know a good way to get a lot of Glamour prisms?

[faint flare]

They make/gather materials for each other

[faint flare]

Grand company seals

[spiral mango]

yeah ik that i need more details tho

[boreal storm]

Craft item, other guy uses it

[faint flare]

200 per prism

[limpid merlin]

Thanks

[boreal storm]

If you’re gonna craft, you want to have all the crafters

[faint flare]

It's literally a case of different mats needing other crafters

[boreal storm]

And you would see this as you level your crafters

[spiral mango]

i see

[faint flare]

Like a weapon may need lumber from carpenters which is gathered by botanist...then ingots from blacksmith gathered by miner....glue from alchemist and maybe cloth from weaver

[spiral mango]

well I was planning anyway to level all crafters

[faint flare]

It's that simple

[idle loom]

Grand Company Quartermaster under “Material”

Also a good place to buy Ventures

[idle loom]

Fantastic! Enjoy the game!

[warm snow]

@spiral mango remember when I sent you a full basics guide on crafters yesterday

[spiral mango]

yeah i havent watched it yet

[boreal storm]

And the game explains stuff

When you start out

[spiral mango]

active help ?

[warm snow]

So you came back here, to ask for another guide...

[spiral mango]

😛

[boreal storm]

Have you even swapped to a crafter

[limpid merlin]

Alright thank u very much

[spiral mango]

not yet

[boreal storm]

[warm snow]

Not that kind of questions and help chat, just use duty finder

[solid cedar]

Razer Naga X or Logitech G600?

[warm snow]

Flip a coin

[worn flume]

I've not heard good things about razer naga, but I'd say do your own research imo

[leaden ginkgo]

Which should I level. Monk, dragoon or red mage

Hello, im a new player here

Im trying to progress my dragoon questline

[hard aurora]

@leaden ginkgo whichever

red mage is unlocked at lvl 50 with stormblood btw

@leaden ginkgo yes?

[leaden ginkgo]

@hard aurora im already lvl 56, and i still haven't unlocked lvl 50 dragoon quest

[hard aurora]

you missed the warning when you got to level 50 then

[leaden ginkgo]

What?

[hard aurora]

you have to get to heavensward

[leaden ginkgo]

Is thst, coming to ishgarrd?

@leaden ginkgo a message legit appears in your face after the level 50 drg quest

there u go

[leaden ginkgo]

Thx

[hard aurora]

np

[leaden ginkgo]

I just returned after like 4 monthd without playing

[hard aurora]

understandable

[viral torrent]

does newegg sell the eu version of Endwalker if i access it with EU ip or it strictly NA

[dim hull]

Does anyone know what time Tonberry is most active? Are Japanese active at midnight or nah? At least compared to like working hours

[patent citrus]

most of them sleep early

JP i mean

[honest anvil]

standard peak time 6pm til 10pm gmt+7

[dim hull]

Oh and one more quick question, is the Logged-out-in-town moon EXP bonus actually relevant especially earlygame/midgame levels, because I kinda don't want to walk all the way back to here which is where I need to be when I'm logged back in lol

[viral torrent]

Tonberry most busy around 8pm to 1am gmt+9

[solemn jewel]

/return

It's good exp

[patent citrus]

use your teleport, return and mount

but do as you see fit

you don't need those exp, it just gives extra, you'll overlevel by MSQ EXP alone

[dim hull]

When is MSQ EXP no longer sufficient to get you right to the next MSQ/key goal between 45-80?

[boreal storm]

Never

[fluid current]

I prefer Logitech G600, the buttons are better plus u get a third mouse button

[patent citrus]

If you only level 1 class from the beginning, you won't be lacking

[umbral dune]

would not there a gap in MSQ between 46 and 49?

[solemn jewel]

There could be a dip around lvl 47 if u never do like Roulettes or lvl others too much but otherwise you'll prolly be overleveled anyway

[patent citrus]

but if you constantly changing and wanting to try out new classes, you'll need to do roulette to keep up with MSQ EXP

[dim hull]

Oh this is what I don't know about, are all MSQs only once per character?
I intend to stick with the same class, but does MSQ no longer exist for any alt classes*, i thought they did

[solemn jewel]

You don't do alts

Msq is a one time deal

[patent citrus]

yeah, no incentive to do alt since everything is character bound

[solemn jewel]

Other classes u lvl with dungeons n stuff

[boreal storm]

Once msq is over you have a lot of options to level

[umbral dune]

you can replay quest for no reward

[patent citrus]

if you want nostalgia and redo MSQ for the story, there's a new game+ feature but you won't get rewards and exp from those

[boreal storm]

That’s just for watching cutscenes

You mean New game plus

[dim hull]

Ok so just to give concrete example, I'm playing Dragoon
I can get DRG to level80 through MSQs alone, and then if I wanted to get a DRK from 30 to 80 I have no source of EXP from MSQs and just have to do repeat dungeons for levelling?

[patent citrus]

yeah, use this guide

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/leveling

[civic nimbus]

anyone happen to know where the "change scroll speed" option is?

[patent citrus]

not a bad idea, since DPS queue is usually longer than Tank, so you'll save time if you level your Tank with roulettes/dungeon and do MSQ with DPS

[civic nimbus]

I don't have it bind and can't find it

[umbral dune]

tab or shift when such speak happen

[civic nimbus]

it got unbinded

[left whale]

is it true that bozja gear does something when worn inside bozja..?

[umbral dune]

no, the speak speed can only be changed when dialogue are played, not with normal action or I think so

[faint flare]

Only if it has haste

[left whale]

you've lost me, how do i make it hastey

[faint flare]

Augment it

[left whale]

fuck

[umbral dune]

you need to get some cutscene that skippable, press tab or shift in those time, there will be option to either speed up or slow down

[civic nimbus]

there used to be that option in the credits. but some binding made it so that it's not possible anymore

like it tells me I can pause scrolling by pressing something, but there's no keys displayed for changing speed

[haughty topaz]

can you unsync savage ?

[faint flare]

Yes

[haughty topaz]

same rewards ?

[faint flare]

As long as it's not current content or ultimate, you can unsync it

Unsyncing doesn't affect rewards

[haughty topaz]

nice

[lethal mist]

What's with the fluctiation of EXP btw? Seen it before, just unsure why it happens?

[zinc bramble]

You get more exp for the amount of quality on the craft. Maybe that?

[umbral dune]

ok, press space in unvoiced cutscene, tab or shift+tab to adjust speed, by default it was on click to advance between dialogue

[ember gate]

i closed the game and reopened it now it has to reinstall the whole thing?

[lethal mist]

But it's either NQ or HQ, there's no in between and these are all NQ?

[twilit arch]

it doesn't have to be HQ to get the most exp

its about how much quality you put into the craft

[lethal mist]

Oh so even a tiny percentage increase in quality translates to a few exp?

[twilit arch]

ye

[lethal mist]

Ok cool, that does explain it. Was merely curious if I could influence the Quick Synthesis when needed but meh, let it do it's thing 😉

[tulip oar]

Can I get two class to 80 with msq

changing them between missions

[modest igloo]

with a preferred server you could go for 3

wth dailies in leveling and pvp on a standerd server yeah thats doable

[tulip oar]

I use my roulette and other dailies for my tank classes and use msq for my red mage but after watching stormblood trailer I want to have a samurai too so I tought maybe I level them both with msq

[modest igloo]

ye you could prolly do two DPS

[tulip oar]

Also gosetsu kinda effected me to

[tulip oar]

thank you

[modest igloo]

a true chad right there

[lethal mist]

Oh shit I actually ran out of shards for crafting. Wtf? How do I get more even? Never really bothered with those as they always just kept accumulating...

[heavy wadi]

either gather them or buy em on the mb

[peak dove]

if i use a transmog token does it transmog the slot or the piece of gear?

[lethal mist]

Thanks, gathering would take forever. Guess I'll have to invest ;_;

[solemn jewel]

The gear

[peak dove]

how easy is it to get glamour prisms?

[solemn jewel]

Marketboard, grand company seals

[twilit arch]

very, especially after you are sergeant second class in your grand company

[solemn jewel]

Rather cheap both

[twilit arch]

once you can turn in dungeon gear for seals, you will easily drown in them especially at max lvl

[solemn jewel]

U save in the long run if u do glamour plates

[weary flame]

if i get the $23 ffxiv full set, how much is it monthly?

[solemn jewel]

12 euro i think

Less for entry sub

[weary flame]

and there's no way to avoid the monthly fee?

[limber hound]

Avoid as in?

[weary flame]

like is there any game version i can purchase to not have to pay it monthly?

[solemn jewel]

No

[weary flame]

damn

[solemn jewel]

It's a sub based game

[weary flame]

what's entry sub?

[last acorn]

Anyone here good at glamour stuff? Trying to find a jacket ^^'

[limber hound]

which one

[last acorn]

This one D:

[weary flame]

wait shes so cute omg

[solemn jewel]

You can have less alts. And u don't really need alts so its a good alternative

[last acorn]

Ikr?

I want it so bad, but need to find out where it's from.. Or if it's modded :(

[twilit arch]

that picture is basically modded to hell and back

[weary flame]

alright, ty!

[last acorn]

I know

But does it exist :p

[twilit arch]

its a mod

[worn flume]

I believe the textools discord has a find-a-mod channel, you might have better luck there

[last acorn]

Textools? o-o

[regal pawn]

tool to install mods easily

slap a file in, does all the work for you

[last acorn]

Oww, not sure I wanna do that xD

[regal pawn]

gotta say bye bye to the jacket then

[last acorn]

Sad times

[tulip oar]

Is pre order bonus xp item worth for price. I mean is it really increase the leveling speed

[open rivet]

how do the fishing voyage "encounter 3 seagulls / dolphins" work?
does it need to be on one voyage?
despite them popping up on the voyage my achievement progress still says 0/3 for them

[boreal storm]

It’s the same price regardless

[regal pawn]

yes

[twilit arch]

pre-order price is no different than regular expac price

outside of sales, ofc

[regal pawn]

It's basically free

[open rivet]

minion is the bigger incentive to pre-order than the earrings imo

[twilit arch]

no, doesn't have to be 1 voyage. the thing is even if you see them, it doesn't mean you've gotten the buff the seagulls/dolphin's give

you have to get the buff to progress the achievement

[tulip oar]

I know that I was just asking if It is good xp buff

[regal pawn]

it's 30% combat xp

It goes a loooong way when you're leveling alts

[open rivet]

ah do I need to do something specific to get the buff or is it random?

[twilit arch]

random

[open rivet]

oof

yes

[ashen linden]

do you have to get kills to get spiritbond %? if you are just wiping on a savage prog do you get any %?

[faint flare]

You basically need to get xp, so yes

[cursive ridge]

if you dont get combat experience you dont get spiritbond

(or do actions that would net you combat experience if you werent levelcapped)

[twin pier]

There is currently a really good deal on Complete Edition that I'm contemplating getting, but just recently started the free trial: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0082-PPSA02954_00-COMPLETE20190000/

I wanted to know, once you purchase the full game, does it immediately apply to your account? Or do you need to log in and go through a confirmation process to activate the full game? I am thinking about grabbing it during the sale and then keeping it for whenever I finish the free trial, which I am sure will take a long while

[lethal mist]

I've purchased 50/60/70 gear for all my DoW/DoM so I can have fresh stuff to change for leveling, but for DoH I only have 70/80 stuff. Is there any similar way to poetics I can get lower tier gear? Like 50/60 stuff? Or simlpy purchase from NPC?

[twin pier]

Any advice on whether buying & not activating will work, or if it automatically applies when bought, would be really helpful in the decision. Thanks!

[umbral dune]

yellow scrip for level 60, level 50 gear is not that special, better craft while leveling or buying from vendor @lethal mist

[lethal mist]

RIGHT I forgot the damn scrips, thank you!

[umbral dune]

buy from store, keep the code, only when you register the code on mogstation that free trial are over and code dont expire so you can keep it forever (i still see SB code around)

[twilit arch]

if you're buying from the playstation store, there is no code

[twin pier]

Yes, I would need to make sure this works on PS4. Not sure if a code works, unless there's a PS4 code option on Square Enix store

I can check for one

[twilit arch]

PC is the only platform that deals with codes for the game

since you link your psn to your mogstation acct., it'll apply it automatically

[twin pier]

Aw, I see

Thank you for the info! Wish it could be manually activated, but want to stay on the free trial for now for sure

[solid fog]

Got a msg on my email about the pre order,lets say i dont have enough money in the card but i already got the pre order bonuses earrings etc, and my payment gets canceled do i just have to pre order it again ?

[solid fog]

"FINAL FANTASY XIV: ENDWALKER [PC DOWNLOAD] pre-order will be debited soon!"

[steel canopy]

Any benefit to having desynth at higher levels?

[heavy wadi]

get a higher chance at getting higher quality mats from desynths

[fossil bloom]

how come my WT book shows 700/1000 poetics as the tomestone reward for 1/2 lines instead of 50 revelations/500 allegories?

[solemn jewel]

cus after endwalker release these tomestones dont exist anymore

[twilit arch]

because they finally changed up the rewards\

[solemn jewel]

WT rewards have prolly been adjusted already with the anticipation of the old EW release next week

[whole monolith]

Heh... my War is leveling faster than his gear, I can't enter SB dungeons. So I guess I should do that WT

[static yacht]

what level are you?

[whole monolith]

I forgot it existed

61

[static yacht]

are you in stormblood right now or heavensward still?

[whole monolith]

Neither, it's an alt job. I am a free man.

[boreal storm]

Get shire gear

[pearl mesa]

Yeah, in that case I'd recommend picking up the tomestones for a Shire set.

[foggy geode]

Hello~ Is there any faster way to download the game?
The launcher caps out at around 7.34MB/s for me and is going to take almost 4 hours to download :/

[whole monolith]

Yeah I just need to rerun the 50/60's that give the most poetics for a bit. Probably a lot faster than buying some of the crafted pieces, and then having to grind again in mid SB

[boreal storm]

It is like 10 years of patches

[foggy geode]

It's only 45gb, that's like 5minutes 😅 why is the launcher so capped

[whole monolith]

Meanwhile I'm like, hey dps, go pick up that chest. I'll be over here aoeing all this crap

[limber hound]

Back in the day when I had 2MB/s tops, I downloaded stuff overnight

tbh I dunno

I'm assuming 7MB/s isn't the usual

might just be a location issue

[whole monolith]

Sometimes I give the universal hint for "I actually need the loot" by pulling the pack to the slightly out of the way chest. Or jumping up and down on top of it.

[foggy geode]

Is there any alternative way to download it? like a torrent or anything lmao
waiting 4 hours is kinda lame

[boreal storm]

!faq xivlauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[foggy geode]

Would this work for a trial account? ❤️

[agile laurel]

probably

no reason it shouldnt

[limber hound]

I presume so, I don't use it

[foggy geode]

Alright, I'll try this, thanks

[limber hound]

why would a 3rd party tool check if the user is a paying customer

[foggy geode]

I don't know if the trial download is different or anything

so was just curious

[sleek needle]

It works for free trial

[static yacht]

is it possible to solo potd without spinning

[foggy geode]

I love you so much

https://i.imgur.com/zyvco2a.png

That's what I'm talking about

[steel canopy]

Well you need to kite them at minimum, and frankly not spinning will make the lower floors harder.

[sleek needle]

Wdym?

Oh

[steel canopy]

But basically spinning is there to reduce damage while keeping uptime solo

[steel canopy]

That’s really not much when you can just get the hq mats in the first place

[static yacht]

1 star, 2 star and 3 star end game crafts can always be done with 0 HQ items assuming you are BiS for that crafting tier?

IE: when the 1 star crafting stuff got released, were you able to HQ them with JUST the 430 crafter gear?

[haughty spade]

What is the blue mage?

I see jokes about it but don't really understand

[solemn jewel]

its a limited class that cannot do normal content

[leaden ginkgo]

Its a job that can mimic some spells that it observes

[solemn jewel]

They can be stupidly strong due to them learning spells used by mobs and primals

[leaden ginkgo]

^

[solemn jewel]

However due to them not being balanced they can only do content outside of the main quest

so like currently, spamming Coils 2

[leaden ginkgo]

There are 104 spells that BLU can use, some are easy to obtain by running duties normally but as BLU, and some need you to do stuff you wouldnt do usually

And because of how the job plays, they had to not let BLU access the ultimates when they raised the level cap to 70

Because then, the fights would be too much easier

[haughty spade]

Dang

Guess I'll give it a try. Sound interesting

[faint flare]

The job is designed to be broken

[leaden ginkgo]

There are 104 spells that BLU can use
24 only can be active at a time *

[boreal storm]

It still has role actions

[leaden ginkgo]

And those too

If you have a group, you can speed level from 1 to 70 in less than 8 hours

[lilac mason]

but please, grab someone to powerlevel you

it's a real grind solo

[leaden ginkgo]

^^^

[haughty spade]

Dang I don't have any friends

But will watch the video

[boreal storm]

Good thing there’s random strangers with nothing better to do

[raw granite]

dungeon spamming for levelling becomes a bit slow after 55... Three runs to level up... Is there a faster way as healer ?

[static yacht]

dungeon spamming is the fastest on healer

especially if you eat food have fc buff + use the pre-order earrings

but make sure you do your roulettes every day first

[raw granite]

I do, I was just surprised to go from "one level per run" to "three runs per level" so fast

[twilit arch]

higher levels require more exp

[static yacht]

well 1-50 is all of ARR

[twilit arch]

therefore its going to take more runs to level up

[raw granite]

I thought the gain would be proportional

[static yacht]

50-60 is supposed to last you all of heavensward

no

[solemn jewel]

weeping

[static yacht]

they have to make the exp for 50-60 last a long time otherwise the expansion goes by too fast

[raw granite]

I know that don't worry this is an alt

[static yacht]

it'll be the same in EW but worse

because you don't have armory bonus

you will 100% have to spam dungeons / fates at some point

[raw granite]

welp. levelling is called a grind for a reason I suppose

[static yacht]

realistically if you value your time

doing roulettes every day for 2 years is more time efficient than spamming dungeons over within a week

[raw granite]

Well yeah of course but I kinda want to level this one a bit fast x)

[leaden ginkgo]

How should i go from ishgard to coerthas western highlands

[boreal storm]

Choco porter if you forgot to attune

[leaden ginkgo]

Nope, too snowy

[boreal storm]

What msq are you at

[leaden ginkgo]

Over the wall

[boreal storm]

And the first step is, talk to chocokeep and go to falcon nest

[leaden ginkgo]

@boreal storm she says it's too snowy

I just arrived at ishgard

[faint flare]

Keep doing story until it tells you to go there

Then the porter will take you

The npc even tells you that themselves when they say to go there

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright

[faint flare]

Story locks literally everything, even the ability to go to some zones

[full heron]

The mount u get from hitting all jobs 80, will that get removed in endwalker? Specifically that mount (that bird), since I'm guessing in EW the new achiev will be all jobs lvl 90

[boreal storm]

No

[twilit arch]

They are separate achievements

so no, it won't be removed

[full heron]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Really not enjoying machinist and monk dunno if I can push through before EW 😂

[patent citrus]

keep calm and do positionals

[simple pine]

can you do SB/HW raids undersized? or do you need 24man premade

[steel canopy]

It’s the part where the Msq branches in two. You’ll want the one from the not wimpy brother

[twilit arch]

you need atleast 3 ppl, one in each alliance, to enter undersized for alliance raids

[scarlet sandal]

How do I even begin to set up 2fa I can't even figure out where that even starts?

[serene holly]

hey people what are grindable nodes that are not time gated

from shadowbringers

for mining

[spiral mango]

when an item says its hidden in the gathering log, does it appear when you click on a spot ? do i have to use an ability for it to become available to mine? im in the location indicated by the log and it doesnt appear

[minor fulcrum]

It's a rng chance to appear in the node based on your stats

[spiral mango]

O_o

the item is lvl 53, im lvl 74 miner with ilvl of 78

is it very slim for it to appear?

[steel canopy]

Eh just go through enough gathering spots and itll show eventually

[spiral mango]

everytime i click on a different node the rng runs again and it might appear? i think i went through all the nodes and it never appeared lol

[steel canopy]

Just collect from the nodes so they refresh

[twilit arch]

you dont need to collect from them

just open the node, if its there collect

if not, close run to the next node and repeat

[sacred oracle]

what spell mainly use for FATES as blue?

[uncut quarry]

What does control affect?

in crafting

[tall mountain]

the amount of quality you get with each ability that increases it

so higher control means it's easier to get a higher quality when crafting

craftsmanship being the same but for progress insteaed

[uncut quarry]

ahh

[fleet light]

Sorry to bother, I'm new and I've told that I can change my hair color at lvl 15 in Limsa, but I don't know where or how. Can someone explain?

[faint flare]

Do the blue quest in upper Limsa, Beauty is only Scalp deep

To unlock the feature

[fleet light]

thank you 🙂

[terse pulsar]

Hi I'm pretty new to the game. Are there no longer gonna be preferred servers?

[boreal storm]

Not until Endwalker basically

[terse pulsar]

Ah damn. See me and my friend joined a preferred server months ago but didn't get back to the game cos we were both busy

So we wanna start fresh but only when there's preferred world's. So when Endwalker comes there'll likely be some?

[faint flare]

Lol no

They put them up for low population world's as a incentive to join them

[terse pulsar]

Yeah I figured there won't cos they only make them preferred to get new characters

[boreal storm]

6.1 is when the OCE Data Center is getting made

[faint flare]

There won't be any low pop world's with the amount of people returning

Don't expect any preferred worlds for a few months after endwalker hits

[terse pulsar]

How long does the double xp thing last?

[spiral mango]

is there a way to make low quality items into high quality

[faint flare]

90 days minimum

[terse pulsar]

We joined a preferred eorld in like July and were only at the tutorial

[faint flare]

Longer if the server stays preferred

[terse pulsar]

Well a little past the tutorial

Ohhh ok

Thanks

[boreal storm]

Yes, raise the quality when crafting

[crude jay]

when should I level up other classes?

[zinc bramble]

Whenever it sounds fun

[boreal storm]

When you feel like

[crude jay]

rn i just unlocked black mage level 30 and started the quest for every other class, should i just go and level up each one of them to 30?

[open coral]

Only if you want to.

Just because you unlocked a class doesn't mean you have to do anything with it.

[crude jay]

i want to tho

[open coral]

Then do it.

Just recognize that if you haven't done your MSQ, it's going to be a very painful grind because you won't have access to the dungeons you'll need to level.

[boreal tree]

Any other ways for DOH and DOL for leveling?

Already reached 63 for BOT and MIN.

Diadem is umm monotonous and my leves have been used.

[open coral]

Crafter/Gatherer beast tribes - Ixal (under 50), Moogle (50-60), uhh... Namazu, I think? for 60-70, and Dwarf for 70-80

And Ishgard restoration, at least for DoH.

[boreal tree]

I have to unlock those then.

I am just leveling DOL for now then I proceed with all DOH

[open coral]

Moogles and Namazu have a ton of required and to unlock them, so you might want to check a guide for those.

Dwarves probably have the same.

[boreal tree]

I only ever unlocked pixie

[errant palm]

Any idea why the game updates so slow? Around 2MB/s when other games are around 15MB/s

[boreal tree]

Got to sworn today
