you "use" it, but you have to confirm changes to fully use it
Lolorito, Teledji Adeledji, Prioress Dewlala, Fyrgeiss, Godbert, and Raubahn
Roegadyn, runs Amajina and Sons Mineral Concern
He appears briefly in MIN quests and also in BLU quests
Basically he’s in control of most Ul’dahn mining operations
Oh the dude who's part of the problem during the like 40 and 50 BLU quests right
yep
Is there a guide for materia on jobs
Not finding good ones on google searches
either outdated or just bad
The balance discord has resources for each job and their melding priorities before you have BiS gear
!faq balance
for most jobs, they generally do Skill Speed/Spell Speed to preferred GCD > Crit > Det/DH
Healers meld Piety if needed for MP, and tanks that aren't warrior prefer DH over Det.
depends on your job.
then would sks/sps be prio over even crit? and crit would generally be better then into det?
no, once you hit your ideal GCD you stop melding it at all
and crit is better than det due to scaling better.
but then what is the ideal gcd
join the discord I linked and look at the job's resource channels.
Most melee DPS like being at or near no Skill Speed, same for ranged DPS
SMN/RDM don't really want any SPS, while BLM either wants a decent amount of it or a LOT of it.
tanks like being around 2.4 or so depending on the exact tank
and healers also like being around 2.4-ish, with AST able to go faster without MP issues
Yeah it really depends some tanks like a 2.42 GCD for example but RDM wants to be at the base 2.5 or 2.49 along with DRG wanting 2.48
preference
I think WAR even has a GCD tier that's like 2.37
Or that's a different tank and I've got them mixed up
WAR likes 2.37 due to Upheaval
What does Upheaval do again
though 2.4 can work too
I am not

understanding any of this
Just pick any of the BiS and work towards them then
so getting sks is good
but not too much
but then it's also preferential
so you don't actually need much sks
but you still want sks
is what I'm getting

Just a big hit for 20 beast gauge
gauge spender for damage on a 30 second timer, having specific GCDs helps avoid drifting the cooldown.
then how much skill speed is generally good then
Again, depends on your job.
at what level does battle leve gives reduced exp?
Completely depends on the job and what you're planning to do
I'm having an aneurysm taking this in
I think 5-10 levels above the listed level of the leve.
It's not that hard to understand that different jobs want different GCDs for different things
Most jobs don't like stacking Skill Speed because you generally just don't get much out of it.
compared to stacking more crit/det/dh
What job are you.
Or you're playing NIN/MNK/SAM which all have GCD boosters in their kits (Huton/Greasted Lightning/Shifu)
bc this is showing me like 3 different options
Is it better to use the vermillion cloak for casting/healing rather than Optical hat and Elemental +2?
looking at bard materia rn
yes
If you're BRD you don't really want SkS
then just full crit?
Especially because Army's Paeon exists
so
ignore sks go crit
and then DH wherever you can't fit in crit materia
Then all crit/DH
isn't it enough from gear already
There's a case to be made for 2.46 on DRG, but yeah 2.50 is good for them.
PLD wants a specific one to minimize drift on their main damage cooldowns, and GNB can work at most GCD ranges.
im not looking to min-max windows and perfectly not clip things I just want what's generally good
2.4-2.42 is a good spot for all 4 of them
do I take out anything non-crit and put in sks to fill that
if you need to, yes.
is tenacity ever a stat to meld?
no
Tenacity is basically a weaker Determination with bad scaling on the mitigation part of the stat
you need a lot of it to have any noticeable effect on the damage you take
which loses you damage by not melding the other stats
2.42 sks then crit>det? ok
do levequest of an NPC rotates if I do leves from another NPC?
sorry if it's confusing
Pretty sure not.
oke thanks
hello ^_^
how do you change your chocobo color?
by feeding your chocobo specific foods when they're in a stable, either a stable from housing or your apartment building.
There's a layer of RNG to how changing colors work, so it can sometimes take a few tries depending on how much of a shift in color you go for https://ffxivchocobo.com/en
I am a returning player and I need a bit of help. I last played in 2018 I believe. I actually dont remember ANYTHING about the game, also I was on ps4, im on PC now. any good place to relearn the game or what I should do 1st in-game. I feel like I should start a new character and relearn the basics maybe? I do apologize, I feel like this is a bit much.
maybe a YT video can help?
Can someone help me with Gorgimera? It's for my blue mage
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1je6Vyv2zhiAt2Rn7eBOMg5fOMk-59U5gd8YBx3zd-zw/edit?usp=sharing if you want to catch up on the story.
The purpose of this document is to compile the story of Final Fantasy XIV so far for new players who wish to understand the lore but need more detail than the official website offers or players who wish to review the story quickly without having to replay or rewatch it. Final Fantasy XIV takes...
As for videos, I don't personally know of any.
Is iLvl more important than materia slots?
Ye.
most of the time, yes.
The main time when it isn't is when it's 5 open materia slots on an item
Dunno if you're asking about combat or crafting, but while pentamelding can cover a couple of IL's, it's generally best to just choose whatever has higher IL.
Wondering if I should stick with the nier raid armor or the laws order armor with its 5 slots
ilvl 520 vs 510 with 5 slots
you'd have to compare the natural secondary stats.
Always higher IL
like if the Law's Order stuff has bad stats like SkS/SpS/Piety/Tenacity
Your secondary stats are worth a lot less than your main stats
Its still worse
not always.
Anyone know how to get a macro to have the group pose icon?
pre-5.4, the BiS headpiece for tanks, back when the highest ilvl was i500, was the Idealized headpieces at i380
Go throw your build into the dps calc site and check ig
not possible, AFAIK. gpose isn't part of any of the categories listed in /micon's help menu
It doesnt have to be part of the menu
You can set icons to be anything even if not in your inventory
No, not anything.
I can't set it as a soul gem I don't have.
The problem is it can't be defined as anything.
weird cause i have a lemonade macro and it has the icon without me having any
You probably can because you've had the item in your inventory before.
Trying to get Blue Spell from Manor Sentry. Sentry turns invulnerable once health low and runs away. How do you get this spell? 😮
he spawns in the last boss fight and uses it when his hp get low
so any ideas what to spend gil on? I got like 1.4 billion and dont feel i should resub until next expac is out
Bought at the Wolves Den for Wolf Marks, which are earned from PVP content
Is there a similar thing to that but for healers?
!iglam thavnairian bustier
if you're female and don't mind the skimpiness
😩
!iglam star velvet himation of healing
Alright thanks for help
But is there any possible way to get these without playing pvp?
Anything but pvp sorry im kinda allergic to pvp
the thavnairian/star velvet is crafted/marketboard
if you mean the republican stuff, then no
The paralleled for healers from the same series is the medicus
Not the same but overall theme is there
Qnd this is obtained from?
Same as the chiton
PLD question - does the Requiescat buff
A) increase the damage of spells you cast while >=8000 MP, or
B) Increase spell damage, but is only granted if you Request Cat at >=8000 MP
B
someone told me that I could use gemstones to buy scrolls
but I don't see any scrolls
what were they talking about?
yeah they told me to do fates, earn ShB gemstones, and then buy scrolls
Oh, the music rolls.
You need to rank up enough in the zone to be able to buy them
gotcha thanks
I'll get on that then
Ive been hearing alot of people talk about something called "GShade" which just makes the colors in the game look better? Does that like, effect performance at all or anything? And also, is it like safe to use? And allowed to be used?
for a post that explains/links to it
it's system intensive. you won't have any legal issues using it.
Thanks Wynne, that's helpful to know, I was assuming A from reading the effect.
And for Gshade: It can hit your FPS, but it depends on the settings you use.
pretty much any relevant settings will affect your FPS, though it won't require insane hardware to push out
unless you are on very high game resolutions
I have noticed some of the very extreme settings that do weird things have forced my game to run at 30FPS even if they could run faster, I haven't looked into why. Stuff like "City of Sin" which gave a black and white and red Sin City comicbook look.
for normal use, you should use the presets labelled 'gameplay'
in my experience, settings that you'd use for playing the game with (i.e. not just taking a screenshot)
will drop you anywhere from 15-25 FPS
the ones that arent labelled gameplay are for gposing
heyo, so i'm aiming to go thru the coils of bahamut unsynced just to experience the story, and I heard there are some steps which are easy to solo at lvl 80, while others still require a party of sorts. can I get some insight or specifics on this?
Thanks :)
Second Coil Turn 3 and 4 need good damage and burst to solo due to instant-kill mechanics.
the rest of the fights should be doable solo by any job at 80 with decent endgame gear.
I remember only needing a party for one part of that raid series
because there is a part that's literally impossible to solo without mega high burst
i see, would a samurai be enough for those?

Yep
I don't know the exact timing for Turn 8, but for Turn 9 you want to save your burst for about 40% HP left
It may take some practise to get the burst timing right, and some of the mechanics still have to be done for Second T4 when last I checked.
though Turn 9 also has HP/self-sustain issues from the exploding meteors
Once a pillar drops into the middle of the arena, you need to burst the boss to zero before a certain mechanic hits you twice, which is yes about 40%.
welp, i'll just try it out and see what happens
Hey, I’m a sprout playing a warrior tank, and I just finished ARR which means I’m going through the post-game patch raids/trials where I’m one of two tanks in the party. I notice that a lot of the tanks I get paired with have 8000-9000 health, but I only have about 5000. We’re all synced to level 50, so how is that possible to have such a gap? Is their some equipment upgrade I missed? Does the warrior just have dramatically less health than other tank classes?
They have better equipment from the expansions.
no, you just have weaker level 50 gear
the maximum item level for level 50 gear, and therefor level 50 content, is i130.
I see. I’m trying to finish the main story in time for Endwalker, so I’d rather not waste a lot of time grinding, but I don’t want to burden the parties I get put with either. Is there a quick way to get better gear, or is it just grinding/from the expansions? I’ve been equipping the gear the post-ARR patch quests have been awarding, for info
Tomestones of Poetics is the main currency for endgame gear for previous level caps (50/60/70)
Okay. Thanks!
hello! Is there a way to reduce number of players appearing on screen?
@obsidian patio i was able to beat turn 3 of the second coil without much trouble
Anything I can do to avoid breaking the bank for DoL gear at level 70+? Even vendor gear is cutting pretty deep into my coffers at this point.
I used the level 70 yellow scrip set, Landking
it can last nearly all the way to 80, with me changing tools at 77-78
Where do you get that?
from any scrip vendors after unlocking the one in Rhalgr's Reach
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Oh, that's why all my scrip gear is 50
Is it normal if I feel DRK is hard to play ? How easy is it to play PLD and GNB?
PLD is harder to play because it's more rigid
GNB is about the same, if not a bit easier / more intuitive
IMO GNB is harder than DRK, and PLD is somewhat easy, but cursed by natural jank in the rotation.
this is my personal opinion though
the difficulties of the tanks aren't that far apart imo
hard to play how? some more info might help
yeah that's a good question
I dislike the DPS-like nature of GNB's burst window needing to be basically the same every minute or risk misaligning a lot of stuff
Tomestone of Poetics gear isn't super expensive, you can passively gain tomestones doing a lot of stuff like dungeon roulettes / daily MSQ roulette, and use that to buy tomestone gear. There are now vendors in all 3 capital cities near the aetheryte with an icon over them, they sell tomestone gear for lv50.
Maybe it's just because I've recently moved from controller to keyboard and its just really overwhelming, but I guess I'll get use to it eventually (?) , I'm just looking at my hotbar all the time haha
DRK's the same as that tbf Wynne, just more rigid on the ogcd front but being more lax on the precise GCD front
but that is valid tho
But DRK in general..playing optimally , after the opener I don't really have a clue what to do
i say it's red to green apples, depends on what people prefer
you basically just hit stuff off cd and pool your resources for 60s buffs
the most you have to consider on DRK is how you manage mana on if it will overcap or not at a base level
higher end optimizations like saving TBN are also included in pooling resources
notice that most of your cds are 60s/120s, making DRK a very potent class for hitting buffs that come out at those times
delirium and salted earth you just hit off cd dsepite them being 90s 
where can i find the starting quest for the Ivalice Alliance Raids?
should be in kugane near the bridge from the west sdie of the map
called dramatis personae
Can I set the same skill for two keys? e.g. Ctrl-1 and 1 use the same skill
What's the name of the NPC?
i do not remember
yes
Alrighty, thanks
Does DRK change in any drastic way in EW
nope, just more oGCDs
a new 10% mitigation button on two charges, Salted Earth gets a combo oGCD, a new damage oGCD on two charges, and Living Shadow gets beefier in damage
So literally THIS close to 80 for both my DOLS (BOT and MINER) - currently 77 for both.
And then I will level my remaining crafters (except ALCH because now 80)
Will I be self-sufficient? Like mine or harvest the materials needed; basically spending little to ZERO on marketboard.
depends on how much time you’re willing to spend
- zero gil spent = lots of time spent
- spending gil = save time
but yes, possible to be completely self sufficient
Well, yes; of course - I'm just trying to spend little to no gil on MBs, Llauqs.
Both MIN and BOT are now 77, gear and tools are from scrips.
I think you might need FSH up for Cul but otherwise yeah
God bless Collectables, the deliveries in Crystrarium and GC turn ins
Yes, they are basically together apparently per @warm snow
So that's last.
I bought hq items off the mb
Well, yeah, of course.
Where can i find leves good for lvling doh?
What level you at, Finelia?

Oh cool , thank you
Um, hi ^^ dunno if this is the right place but i came back to ffxiv towards the end of last year, and i was wanting to try and get into raiding but most of the raidservers mainly seem to focus on the high end of savages and ultimates pre-endwalker, any advice for trying to find a casual raiding group that might do older content too?
right now, a lot of groups are really interested in EW content since it'll be in three weeks time. add the stat squish which could potentially change how old content is done also affects the desire to do it with so little time left. you could either wait for 6.1 or keep an eye out for new groups, or just do the tried and true "make your own group" method.
Hmmm, alright,
yeah, ill probably keep my eye out, ill probably ask around some of the plazas too if there's any tips for making one or smth but yeah, its something i want to get into so ill figure something out
once we have more details i'd imagine more people would be down. content never goes away so you'll find folks eventually
yeah, with how popular the game has gotten over the past year i'm sure i can definitely find others who would be down for something similar, i'll just need to start lurking around some recruiting servers to find the best places to ask around ^^;
when extracting materia, does all class gear like ring and braclet give both spell speed and skill speed materia ?
Anyone have a Macro for 60-70 for the collectables;
I have a level 80 ALCH but he doesn't have best gear so will try to farm up scrips and do low levels, just for armor.
Market board is no longer an option, trauma. I am bork.
Final Fantasy XIV macro sharing
Hello Caspian.
take one from there and adjust as needed
I need 30 more collectables to craft and then I get the achievement.
So yes, will do this + continue leveling BOT and MIN
How do i party with someone outside of duty in free trial
ask a non trial person to make a party then leave
when extracting materia, does all class gear like ring and braclet give both spell speed and skill speed materia ?
so I want to farm collectibles for white scrips. I go to each appraiser (one in each big city?) and i put everything in garlondtools and once everything is in I wait for the sound? also how do i activate the bell sound for an item ?
the UI there kind of confuses me
it's based on the jobs they're intended for.
Caster/healer gear gives spell speed, Tanks/melee/ranged give skill speed
Tank gear can also give tenacity, while healers can also give piety
anyone know what time on the 3rd Dec is EW dropping?
unknown
@obsidian patio where are all the appraisers?
the kupo commands assume the same relative time as SHB launch
which was like 2am PST
yep
hmm...
JST would be 7pm if I'm looking at it right
so about... 7pm JP i guess
good good
I can like, stock up on snacks and no-life EW for 2 days
based.
I cannot remember how long it took to complete ShB though
was it... uhh, about.. 12 hours non-stop? i'm pretty sure i took several days, but i had to work
Could someone tell me what GCD stands for?
global cooldown
All* Weaponskills and Spells use it
- = a few exception skills that are on the GCD, but have a recast timer of their own
Even if the recast timer is less would I still have to wait for the GCD?
@cursive ridge
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Rarefied_Growth_Formula
I'll craft this until I'll drown in Yellow Crafter scrips; should be easy for my level 80 ALCH, that and the materials can be easily gathered.
I'll holler back to you on this.
Actions are oGCDs (off global cooldown) so you can use those in between GCDs
Ahhh I see, thanks for clearing it up!
Abilities, not actions
Can i buy the full version (windows) and then login on ps?
so does a shield than has both with mahe and paladin on it give both piety ands tenacity materia ?
No, the ones that CNJ/THM can use are caster shields
not gladiator shields
so they won't give tenacity
You'll need to buy the game for PS to play it there too
So two version.. 
Yup

i mean this shield that both CNJ and GLD can equip, will it provide both DOM and DOW materia ?
it's not a GLA shield since THM/CNJ can use it
oh
so even EQ with all class have their materia determine by their stat ?
the stats itself on the gear doesn't matter/change the materia given
just who the equipment is intended for
oh
How do i buy the full version on ps if i live neither in jap/usa/eu
Seems like i cant make purchase..
Need helps 😢
only ARR relic uses materia as part of upgrading it
so basically once i deck out my BLU i can get rid of... 4-6? and after EW arrives, 4-8?
save some shb materia for blu i guess
yep
to all the WHM newbie above lvl 35 put regen on your tanks they love that shit
don't actually put regen while they're still pulling
as that makes all the mobs they didnt touch go directly to you
do you currently have a free trial account on ps? I can upgrade to full version via mogstation but mine was pc, dont know about ps
if a tank not attacking while pulling that tank is bad lol
not true
oftentimes mobs are spaced in a way that it's not possible to grab them all with one attack
Ps cant be upgraded via mogstation sadly
It leads me to ps store
Which i can't make purchase because i need a us bank card
get a prepaid visa?
you only need visa or master card, they dont care where you from
and your local country internet grey marketplaces are usually chockful of prepaid visas
I tried but couldn't?
or get a us psn gift card should be easy enough to get
Because the ps card code format is in the us meanwhile im not
Know any trusted seller?
go to your country's popular reseller website and just grab the most popular
there's tons of people making money on the margins
key seller usually are trusted with thing like this
just make sure to grab it from somebody with tons of sales/ratings
don't get tempted by slightly lower prices when the seller has like 10 sells
do we know if the rolequests in endwalker will be immediately available before 6.0 ending or after?
they said they will be woven during the msq
they will not be mandatory
but if it's like shadowbringers, there will be scene changes in the msq?
True this seems like the best way
I mean I've been trying but cant really find any place with many purchases probably due to my country being small and ppl here are not actually playing ffxiv
But i will try regardless
Again
shouldn't matter if they're playing ff or not, you're buying psn card arent you
that works for way more than just the ff
also, if your country is small, look for a marketplace from a nearby bigger country, they usually make an effort to support neighbour small markets
no details on that
how do i equip titles?
Do Trusts count for Wonderous Tails?
everything counts for wondrous tails
sync, unsync, trusts, squadrons, undersized, whatever
Hi guys I have a question. I want to do the fate ''Special Tarasque Force'', but you need a group for that and there are never enough people around. I heard you can find groups using linkshells but i have no idea how they work. How would i go about finding a group?
You cant buy blue mage lvl 70 from the store can you
Is there a way to retain versions of the resistance weapon questline for glamour without having to redo the whole process ?
buy replica from a vendor nearby
the allagan node near Zlatan sells replicas
oh sweet ok ty

not a popular fate for linkshells so you’ll have better odds asking your fc or friends or just do a /shout in the area
ok will do that, thank you
Also join the centurio hunt discord
no .. job boost for BLU is kinda pointless >.>
If i buy the full game now + expansion later will the price be the same as buying full game later (including endwalker)?
No, it’ll be slightly higher because of the sale price
Just enjoy the free trial first;
Personally I did buy them all while I was still starting and like a lost idiot in Gridania; starting as WHM LMAO
i started as WHM too
Grab a level 80 friend; go to Still tide / Khalousia; shoot monster with water cannon and RUN; said friend will kill the monster - profit.
Cheers Llauqs. In time, I'll talk to you more about THE SHINY SMN notebook.
I have alrdy capped all tanks and healers in free trial so yeah i think im qualified to buy the full version
So rn its just money management issue
SoonTM.
Do u know the exact difference?
?
Take it from someone who has played 3k hours in Destiny 2, MF same thing all over again.
I have no idea what youre talking about actually..
Take your time.
Oh okay 👍
ye 99% content is permanently available so take your time
Llauqs; help out, exact location of these two
They are in Yanxia, yes; at a specific time.
BUT IDK where
I suck at the coordinates thingy.
I'm going to craft this
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Rarefied_Growth_Formula
Til I drown in yellow scrips.
it says the coordinates in the page
or you can use Garlondtools
@boreal tree x30 y5 for the Perlite, x26 y25 for the windtea
guys i am struggling on clearing e12s my static is not capable of doing it but i know everything up until triple apo, if i put a pf up saying i gift 1M for helpers is bannable ?
Sweet! It's the collectables then.
Well after going to the EU site, it’s €6 more
No.
Examples of non-violation:
- I'm new, can anyone help me clear [duty]?
- Help me clear [duty] and I'll pay you 1 million gil!
- I'd like to get some items from [duty]. will pay 1 million gil if I can get it.
Source: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/c4aeca0b14ab2c96fe48fcf83cca93e6cb552c29
it’s e12s though so take it easy o/
yeah but i am desperate i want the clear i parse 80% with randoms and still can't get it 😦
I found a picture of the darned Tea Leaves
positional effect always applies to overworld mob right?
if it has the cutout yes
Thanks, Llauqs.
!faq positionals
Literally everything with a positional target ring
Almost everything has the left ring btw
The left ring is the usual
Literally everything you've fought in arr until the towers during the final boss of sycrus tower have had the left ring
If it has an arrow sticking out the front: it's positional, if not it's no positionals
I always thought it's just the yellow colour
._.
so this antelope has positional too?
ye
Yellow means not in battle
Making positionals colors these soft would be dick move game design
just found a group using that discord and did the fate, thanks a lot 🙂
spam that true north when soloing 😄

Is early access available for those that preordered through steam?
Just put in your preorder code on mogstation
The thing is, I don't believe you receive a pre order code if its purchased through steam
Just enter bozja and LFG inside
well at least I didn't get one
If you find none, leave and reenter again after a few and hopefully get a more active instance
Look at your CD keys
Based on the above, I assume you don’t have the base game?
Oh no I do, it's just I didn't realise there was also a CD key for Pre access too
Okay just had to make sure
Out of curiosity, is it possible to name change after switching to a new server?
Looking at the upcoming OCE servers specifically
Kinda
Name change service is on mogstation
It's not included but you can make a char with that name in the world
And it'll ask you to change name iirc
Do people run Baldesian arsenal on this dicord?
If someone shares your name on the OCE server, they’ll ask you to change it
Ah I see, doesn't that mean you can technically create a character first, for a free name change?
Yea
Oh wow
What's a "prog set?"
But you have 0 progress now
Cool cool thanks guys
About BA? Do people run it here? Where to sign up?
Ty☺
a gear set that’s suitable for progging purpose on a savage fight; usually have more piety for healers
Is that server eu datasenter?
Should I wait til 80 to grind crafting?
can start anytime
but if you unlocked GC's supply & provision mission, that would be great
just craft/gather once a day to turn in and then continue MSQ
Quick question: how long is a server tick
3 seconds or so
Thanks.
Which potd floors do people spam for exp farm?

Do other final fantasy games (FFXV or FF7 for example) have any effect on this game's story?
Does that apply to every game?
ye
Calamity salvager should have them if you threw away something
games that are sequals are like X,X-2, and so on
cuz I'm seeing some of the things I've experienced in the others like materia and magitek but I guess that has nothing to do with it
yeah those are pretty different
Concepts are shared
But the worlds are different?
ye
yeah some nostalgia when you see the cameo/system
I have a question:
I mined some yellow copper ore for scrips but i cannot turn them in
that one is collectables
so need to meet the quality requirements
you need to do some rotation to increase it's collectability
Yeah he doesn’t have the collectible version of the ore
They removed some collectibles recently
If someone craft me a 510 gear, it will be less expensive? Cus im not that rich
So my item is pointless?
Yep
That sucks, but thanks
Unless the crafter is a friend they'll prolly ask for materials or just the selling price anyway.
what are the good lost art to use in bozja
offensive lost action + dps essence of the role
or offensive lost action + bloodbath essence for melee
You could buy a cheaper exarchic weapon, trade it in at Eulmore, buy some crystalline rain and get the augmented version of the weapon you want
I forgot which rain it was
that price is pgood though >.>
will do
yeah look for any weapon that cost less than that
doesn't have to be grimoire
then trade that weapon to envelope add 100 allegories rain and buy the augmented exarchic grimoire
tbh, it's better if you work on your relic
can get lv 535 for final stage
which one the 180 items grind?
all till zadnor, where i stoped
at least with relic you can customise stats
if you want a certain sps, can just adjust
oh for that step u don't have to do it for any other relic, it's just that one time
i see
Party finder
it should have recruitment-light channel?
yep but everyone making recruitement for Grand Compagnies so i though the channel was for this
You mean free companies

How do I que for Castrum once I reach rank 10
Oh so I just go there?
it will be available on the CE list
and you apply like you would any other
once inside you will want to form parties out of people in there
how do most PC keyboard players select party members while healing?
i'd imagine mouse clicking the party list right
F1-F8 if you're fancy.
F8 seems pretty out there on the keyboard, I might just have small hands though
do you ever use right hand to reach F8 and let go of the mouse for a bit?
No, I just press the party list
oh derp
Just move in closer to the center and decrease the size lol
Now that I am close to finishing the MSQ, starting to think more about gear. Is gear in a dungeon from a fixed table or is it random? Is there a way to see what gear drops from what dungeon?
Fixed
Why do people who farm Binding Coils 2 now all take the left path? Taking the right path is supposed to remove Rot from the boss and that is the only serious danger right now, isn't it?
It will always drop that same ilvl
Rot isn't a hard mechanic, everyone always took the left path, even at lv50 due to the different resistances the boss gets
A lot of people still ignore rot and cause wipes
are you able to die from fall damage ?
I'd say in 50% of the groups I've been at least 1 person was ignoring rot
Surprise you now realise most people are bad and just want rewards
Get the person w/o rot resist to walk to the guy w rot then
Only in combat
It sucks, but it's the classic, 'healers adapt'
I thought they'd learn after running it 20 times back to back
nah most people just press the buttons until they or the mob die
That's what I started doing now that I got used to the raid and I am able to pay attention to the group sidebar, I would walk to them myself if I see they weren't going anywhere
So if you get rid of the rot node the boss takes longer to kill?
It gets a different set of resistances and different mechanics
As he absorbs different nodes
if I buy the ARR skip for a brand new alt, do I have to buy a level skip too?
or can I say, level it the normal way for alt jobs? hunt log, job quests, roulettes, that kinda stuff
They kinda assume you would have armoury bonus tho
Story skips don't give any levels
So you can level back up to 50 the old fashioned way but it'll probably be slower than msq levels

I don't understand this very well
Should I upgrade the quality or something to be able to hand it in?
The Doman Enclave is oddly statisfying. Donating and watching it grow. Are there other zones like this?
You didn’t raise the collectibility, it’s worthless
I've absolutely no clue what that means
Yes, you need to have a certain minimum amount of collectibility
When making collectibles, quality determines collectibility
ah
It works the exact same as making HQ items
If you don't meet at least the minimum then you cannot turn it in
ishgard restoration once was that way, but it was global for all players. it's now no longer possible to see the progression of ishgard's reconstruction in game
Progress and quality
So was mor dhona and idyllshire
mor dhona and idyllshire were restored patch by patch
Domain enclave is preferable anyways
So I just realised you get psn a avatar for preordering endwalker but I don't see it in my available ones, anyone else have it available?
How far should I go normally?
It needed 110 minimum
max gets best reward
If you go back to the scrip turn in npc you'll see
note that you don't have to do max for custom deliveries, but for regular scrip turn-ins, max gets most
okay i'm wrong
apparently you only need to go to 94.2% max for max result
crafted to check
for gatherables though, it's 1000 collectability, which is max
Yeah I was a few short for the max
hi, can i use my existing SE account with bought dlcs (non steam) on the steam version? will i have the dlcs or do i need to buy them again?
like should i make a new acc or use the one i alr have?
No you can’t, steam is self contained
you'd have to at least create a new service account, not sure if you need an entire new SE account
but maybe
and buy all the parts of the game again
kk
if you destroy your 430 job gear, can you get it again from the dude?
in 10 minutes
alright, thanks
does excog prevent death blows if the heal would let them live? and does it trigger if you apply when the target is below 50%?
I have a question regarding e12s, do you get any loot by defeating the door boss or you will have to clear phase 2 to get the loot?

No, you take the damage then heal a split second after. It will auto trigger if they're under 50%
p1 has no individual loot
I see so need to clear p2 to get the gear?
Well if p1 has no loot
You have to finish the raid, to get the loot
I see, then that's another long way to go then. Today I had a couple of sessions with party finder, we all always wiped at 02%. I guess I'll need to get good 😑
Tips for levelling up Alchemist?
How do I change enemies health to show percentages? %
as a SMN should I prioritize intelligence or spell speed?
you'll want to avoid spell speed as a SMN
why so?
wait does spell speed increase recast time or the meter for the ruin and physick etc
Both
oh not lv 80\
oh im currently 59
yeah, prioritise intelligence, can worry about substats later
Each tier of speed reduces cast time and recast by 0.01s
just spam that recommended gear button till 80
thats what i do
Main stats are always more significant than substats
Weapon damage >> main stat >>>>>>>>>> substats
is there any updated resistence relic guide from step 1?
someone here also told me that the job quest gear is almost always better than non job quests so i thought id confirm since recommended one tells me to go for a one i got from a dungeon
because values have changed with patches
there's no set bonus is there?
Highest ilvl is better
i see
ty
is doing wondrous tail worthed if you are not leveling alt
Yes
i'm debating if I should do mine this week 😂
ok chance to get that 10m mount yeah 👀 ty ty
Hey earlier I was told "yellow scrips for lvl 60 gear" but I can only see 70 and then white for 80. Where exactly is the level 60 stuff?
it's called Lv 61
and it has like... 65 gear or something i dont remember, old stuff is weird
You're right it's in the 61 menu and is lvl 65 dafuq...
Idyllshire... Use yellow scrip to buy blue scrip tokens to buy the landking stuff
But isn't Landking higher level even?
Oh I see
We don't post gillionairegirls links. 
Not even gonna ask
The level 60 one is crafter job specific tho
Like CRP has one, BSM, has another that u must buy, GSM etc.
oh wait
land.
not hand...
I think the same applies,
Wtf even is that?
Or you're not even gonna say?
Its a website with useful guides for crafting & gathering
but sadly is very aggressive with RMT
so we don't allow links to be posted here
Oh cool

Well, they're not cool, but good to know
b/w the praetorium and castrium maeridium which is better for farming tomes of lore
can u join FC from different worl
No
aw

The binding coils of bahamut: turn 2
so i'm trying to use that hat in a glamour plate but it doesn't let me, why?
i haven't unlocked it yet tho
Your current equipped head is too low level
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
And the job needs to be able to equip it
Glamour follow job locks
noice 👀 finally someone took an action
That looks like Holy rainbow gathering gear
oh i get it now
Can't make your level 1 basic tome look like a weapon from the level 80 final boss
suppose i have the daily hunts for stb/shb areas. would it count if i use a low level ARR job (say, a L10 THM) to tag a hunt mark mob and have a friend clean it up for me? if it does, would i get the full tens/hundreds of thousands EXP towards the job i use to tag that mob?
no, because hunts do not reward experience
daily hunts give good exp
oh the daily ones
Just DO NOT do the arr ones
yeah, i'm referring to the daily trash mob ones
Cuz they a massive pain in the ass
i'm asking because it would be a nice burst of exp to skip my lower level ARR jobs through the early levels
Idk if that'll work since I think you need to be within an expansions level for exp
Not 100%
You can try but again idk
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, someone can help me for this, i can't launch the launcher
did you do whats written there
i don't saw the custom level button on Brave
really random probably but does anyone know the best way to get rainbow hyacinths? i gave red and mountain pomace and they said they will be orange now so I am wondering where to go from there
i used the ffxivgardening site but it isn't too clear about hyacinths unless i am not looking at it right
thanks
omg thx u @solemn jewel
no worries
so how does housing current work with someone you're eternally bonded to
can i have give them permission to decorate
There's no difference between being bonded or not
You just make them a Tennant
And give permissions
If I select join party in progress, am I locked into that search only or is it an additional filter?
Additional
thanks!!
If there happens to be a party in progress, it’ll pick it first
Otherwise it’s like usual
Hello! I'm at the start of Stormblood and would like the "story" experience. If I boost a Samurai for Stormblood, and a DRK for Shadowbringers, I'll be able to play through bothMSQs like a breeze? (will play low level dungeons to learn the classes of course beforehand)
You don’t need to play the poster boy jobs
The current job boost completes all the job quests to 70
It should leave the msq progress alone though correct?
And you do not want to skip DRK quests, they are the best
theres like, nothing that makes those the "canon" classes anyway cus nothing changes when u play those 
HW gave you plenty of bonus dialogue in the MSQ if you were DRG though, from what I've been told
So the only thing it really skips are the job quests?
!faq skips
Yes cus the job npc was in the msq
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.
Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
Thanks @faint flare , and thanks to all of you for the answers. Although, @faint flare , that doesn't mention job quest skip on Job boosts 😮
Yes, purchasing a job boost will skip all job specific quests up to 70
Alrighty, I'll youtube them.
there is New Game Plus for those quests
Thanks a lot!
If I have done a raid tier on PS4 and I’m on PC but hadn’t bought Shadowbringers, will I still be able to do that content on PC?
Perfect!
Nope
No
You're locked out of anything u dont own
Thanks
if u log out in say eulmore u cant log in on pc
Wow
dumb question, but i just started heavensward and i wanted to go back to revenants toll. ||for story reasons would i be attacked there or would i be safe???||
Safe
ok cool thankss
||you can freely travel wherever you would like, worst you'll get is a stern look||
A mor dhona guy specifically goes: ||“Hey you’re not supposed to be here, just don’t make trouble alright”||
Hi, im playing the free trial currently... now if i pre order endwalker will i gain access to all other expansions ?
no
no
You need to own the starter edition or the complete edition to pre-order endwalker and play it
And the other expansions aren’t added til December
so would you suggest i buy starter edition + endwalker ? or wait for endwalker to release then buy the complete edition?
It's the same price
There is a sale rn
Literally no difference between those options
Free trial until the very end of HW, and determine then if you need to purchase ShB or if you can wait until the EW
Outside of getting off trial now
yikertons
Complete edition is 16 euro rn just fyi
really? on steam?
no square enix store
okay then how much would be endwalker on top of that?
£37 pound or like 40 bucks
35 euro
Steam accounts can't use SQ store expansion codes
Depends where you are

so as a free trial account seems like i have to level my crafting for arr relic weapon?
Okay cool. ill buy the complete edition 🙂
Yee
ARR relic is quite annoying as a trial player
Yep, relics without the Marketboard are pretty rough
Does FT include firmament?
is it worth it to level crafting tho?
It’s in Ishgard
Yes
Yes, crafting is relevant even at endgame
if you bought an expansion code from the SE store, can it not be redeemed using a steam account?
beside the relic thing, what is the purpose of cll?
No
You can level crafting easier with marketboard, but I don’t suppose there’s a reason not to get your foot in the door rn. Just expect a long time grinding up for good stuff
It can not
Good fragments, field notes, coins for the arnour for glamour/sell augments
Good xp
You can unlock desynthesis for exp later on at 30
how much days it will take to lvl crafting up to like 40-50 lvl?
Fragments can sell for a lot in my experience
And it’s pretty good fun to run Castrum
the xp is worth for the time it consumes? Like, isnt better to keep with ce and skirmishes?
if i buy complete ediiotn. how long do i have before i have to pay sub fee?>
so leveling crafting is easy with marketboard?
30 days
After registering it
Even without it
u think i should not register till i reach end of free trial? or register straight away. i noticed some features are not on free trial.
It’s your decision
I run Bozja on a level 80 class so I’m not too sure but it should be pretty good compared to CEs I’d guess
Milk the trial until you get annoyed at limitations
okay thanks for your help 🙂
If you want to continue on Free Trial (if you’re still on it), you can hold off on redeeming your code, if you wanted.
It's worth 2.5x a zone 3 CE
i see
yes i'm still on free trial i was wondering should i 1) continue with main quest and go to heavesward without relic weapon
2)grind crafting for relic weapon
3)or buy full game
Up to you really, but personally I would prolong the trial as much as you can
Relic is more for glamor right now
ARR relic is without a doubt the most painful one to grind for
ok then i will continue with msq 
Keep in mind that HW also have their own relic series
and it'll get overshadowed halfway through 3.0 anyways lmao
So it’s really up to you if you vibe with the aesthetic of the relics
Did anyone else notice how Ravana looks kinda like the ultima weapon?
But yeah using your trial as much as you can is a smart move
relics outside of the current expansion ones are really not needed outside of glam purposes
and even current expansions relics are mostly needed by raiders
ok thanks for info guys
I'm going to get HW relic to kill time on free trial before Endwalker comes out
you can do the SB one, you can get a lot of free poetics and those poetics can get you HW relics as well
also should i look for guild to join as a free trial account?
You can't join one
ok
most you'll get are linkshells
I can't get the SB one, I'm on free trial
sadge
How long does each upgrade step from the shb relic weapon take approximately?
ugh want to ask the free trial upgrade to complete edition question, the store is having sales rn but when check the mogstation upgrade its still full price tho
store gives you code to use on mog
is Containment Bay P1T6 (Extreme) soloable?
oh ok thanks
any settings i can reduce to bring my cpu temp down without affecting gameplay much?
👀 if your cpu temp is getting out of control you might wanna check your cooling...
the above will mostly ease gpu.
i use a laptop and don't have a cooling pad so probs thass why
you can try underclocking if it's getting too bad
as per the ASUS crate its at 92 degree celsius but the moment i change tabs it goes to 70-80
👀
what's that?
opposite of overclocking, basically limiting the cpu to make it slower.
and probs one that was made w/ office in mind instead of gaming
its a gaming laptop tho
ASUS TUF
so i was talking to a friend about this, and they said that its a glitch from the software coz it only shows 90+ when I just change tabs
then after like 3 seconds reverts to
as I said, not made for gaming
70-80
kinda confused
why wouldn't a gaming laptop be made for gaming
is Containment Bay P1T6 (Extreme) soloable?
i have 478 gear, but i need 490 gear to do more msq, how do i get better gear? i got the exarchic gear atm!
if you unlocked eden raids, can do those and get them tokens
did u update ur jewelry as well?
shouldn't need exarchic at all
cus exarchic should be 510
I assume you mean ||Paglth'an||?
get tomestone gear in ||Eulmore|| for the slots you're lower than 490 on
yeah allegories also nice, 490
yeah that raid yes, and okay ill do that! thank you guys for answer^^ and idk dont think i have the jewelry then haha
crystaium gear cost allegories, can join hunts for revelation, and eden raids
I think those are the most affordable
At lvl 66 Igot the Kudzu gear for crafters via yellow scrips (lvl 65 gear) but what do I get for accessories + belt? Was only 5 piece set for scrips...
Is there an effective way to power level a job to 60 so I can do Stormblood on it? I really wanna play Summoner, but I feel like it'll take so long that I'd be better off staying on my current.
!faq altlvlguide
And just leveling it when I'm 80
larch accessories, either MB/NPC/craft yourself
Which particular NPC is it tho?
kugane's
Oh, just regular vendor with Gil?
Well yeah, always cheaper that way.
where do you buy old HW relics? or the previous versions (when ur done)
azys la
Reconstruction node
This means I can only meld up to 4 and everything over that is lost, corect?
Yes
Uhm why does a window pup up real quick and disappears when I try to meld?
Huh nvm it works now ....
What do you get from running raids on higher difficulty like savage or extreme? Better loot than normal? Higher drop rates?
Dyeable gear
Savage drops the highest ilvl gear of that tier, and upgrades for the tome geae
mounts & minions in some of them
Extremes actually drop stuff, usually weapons and rarely mounts
I see thanks guys

What gear should I buy for Blue Mage (level 20) just for some defense stats
