I'll note that the item has a cast time so you need to click on the lizard as soon as it appears and throw the item on it before it can hit you
Relic stats for rdm?
You get the first time bonus but that’s it
Yes except first time bonus, that still applies
poetics is a reward for doing group content
you get 500-600 poetics a day with msq roulette
Active farming poetic at HW probably the HW quest dungeon, 150 per run + 100 for any first timer
Which
but unless you're sick to death of the msq roulette, i would recommend just doing that every day on your 50+ alt jobs
where are you in msq @leaden ginkgo
as someone said hunt trains are very good for poetics and ya get nuts n stuff
finished what
shb hunt trains all the way then
There is
It's called TIME
They're the worst relics to try and get all of
The HW and ShB relics on the other hand are easy as shit
i mean hunt trains are only 25-30 minutes usually and its like 480 poetics
crystal is crazy with hunt trains
can clear several thousand tomestones a day with them
Aether is too
- they give ShB tomestones too, just to sweeten the deal
Never tried HW relics
I heard the "books"
Gets a lot of shit
For being super horrible to deal with
ARR Relics are horrible because they take forever
And also books
HW relics on the other hand are just fucktons of poetics
Oh, AAR I mean
What takes the most time for AAR?
Is it the dungeons from the books or what?
books step I believe
Also if you’re a trial player, the materia step
mmmm, materia III and getting crafter gear
materia III wasn't too hard, just slap on lvl 45-ish gear and do MSQ roulette, get 20% soulbound each run
i do it as my daily roulette when getting tomestones for alt jobs
need to work on crafter gear next
A Realm Reborn.
Where are you getting a second A?
Typing is hard okay
I'm only asking it happened twice
A A Reborn

Ok now I'm deciding based on the Pre-order earrings, I read it is monster exp but not quest exp, how strong is that when factored in? Is it more like 15% total exp or what is it like
It’s 30%
Wait all EXP including questing? I think I read somewhere its only monster killing exp but could be wrong
How much would you estimate mob exp is of total exp?
That’s also ignoring all the other exp bonuses being applied at the time
Quest exp is massive but thats for ur class ur doing msq with
the earring comes to play when doing alt classes
It’s also the best earring stat wise for lvls 1-79
armory bonus plus earring is like 130% bonus exp on every mob kill
Can anyone show how does coliseum subligar looks like from the back? For male
yeah does sound really good, think I'll go with it, the time it saves me hopefully will offset the cost if I end up wasting my free trial days etc.
100 + 57 =157
157 < 211
Can someone fly me somewhere for the sky pirates alliance raid
Yes but you might as well just unlock flight yourself
For any and all future visits to the sea of clouds
Its just for that tbh
Is it possible to get 2b attire before shadowbringers?
No
I dont plan on doing anything else
You'll have to come back to the sea of clouds for other content
I've just bought my Activation Key for Completion Edition, can I hold on to it to not start the 30 day trial? How long before it expires?
Yes and no idra
Assuming you mean complete addition you should use it when you hit level cap
I already did it for a dungeon but iiii mean
Activation key lasts forever? I can just activate it when I'm ready?
Beast tribe, gathering, job quests, potential more msq
I just said no idea
I didnt plan on doing any of that XD
Especially since Endwalker is tying up all the msq to date
Oh sorry I misread the typo
I’d use it before December just to be absolutely safe
Yep fair enough. Can I even pre-order EW if I haven't redeemed the key yet though
sweet, how long is the pre-order window? What date until you can't
TIL Dec 3rd
The 7th because that’s the “official release”
would be the 7th, no?
3rd is early access if you pre-order, the game “actually releases” on 7th
Anyway im just waiting for someone to fly me XD
in the time u were waiting you could've gotten the aether currents
God helps those who help themselves
And this isn't that kind of questions and help channel anyways
of these two, is one objexctively better than the other?
like are either of these stats more important
Dhit is slightly better than det most of the time but here it really doesn't matter
Buy shire gear
If you're short of inventory space use the one on the right but shire gear is 270 anyways
okay ty
i dont have poetics rn but ill get shire stuff when I can
though im doing Stb msq so idk if its worth to use poetics for lvl 60 gear?
since ill get to 70
Poetics gear is always the best gear you can have til level x5 ish of the next expansion
55,65,75, soon to be 85
Should I buy Endwalker off of Steam or the SQEX store?
Your choice
Whichever one you bought the base game off of
Cuz you're locked to that
Aight.
so since im level 63 (though tbh may as well be 64), do I still want to use the poetics, or just stockpile for 70
No poetics vendor til you finish 4.0
Then get shire gear
okay ty 🙂
If you're still in hw patches which it sounds like you're gonna be getting loads
It’s clearly not
are you in the fringes?
yea
bardems mettle is spooky without 270 gear
level your alt with all roulettes you unlocked 👀 ez 1.3k poetics a day
this channel is all about figuring things out, dont be afraid to be wrong here
would help me get summoner up for ew too 👀
Remember SMN is getting a total rework
that's why I want it to be levelled, the rework looks really cool
though I guess the counter argument is levelling it in EW would teach me the rework rather than re-learning it
level sch then, get smn for free 👀
true
and you get roulette healer queue
i used a +15% combat xp scroll in the middle of a dungeon and my exp bonus went from +130% to +160%. how come?
do you have road to 70
no
oh
or is the second half of prae just innately worth +15% more
Does doing the daily msq roulette give a lot of xp?
yes
like should I be doing it in my rotation
yeah, should be first priority
yeah, as long as you do it once a day, it will give decent poetics + exp
for your alt
for completion at level 52
ive been missing so much alt exp then
1.3mil is about a full level at 52
but it unlocks at lv 50
ive also been levelling super sporadically
i cant choose
oh good point
wonder how long it would take to get rdm to 60 for my msq prog
what skill at lvl 80 fishing make ocean mooch intuition fish easier? aside from more GP regen?
For The first two

hey guys, I was told by few people to find a person to help you get the blue mage spells for the tomes event farm and pay them with gil, is that even allowed ? because I am struggling to get the spells solo lol
Technically legal, but honestly throw up a pf and you'll probably get a person or two
Or ask people in your fc
oh great, thanks friend
That's just scrips in idyllshire
I feel fetes are a good way to get skybuilders scrips. How do we know when a fete is going to happen
Go in the firmament, see the timer
There is a timer thingy
We can log in to the firmament can we
how do i verify my character for kupo bot? 
Honestly you can macro level 80 crafts and make scrips way faster
No you have to re-enter if you logged out in there
Im no expert but as far as im concerned Its pretty decent. I got to lv60 free trial cap in just 2 days just by spamming dungeon
fetes are fun-ish but slow af for scrips
I turned into a Pig once when I joined.
Kat, hello speaking of Macro, share the ones you use?
#doh-dol-lounge has plenty
Lmao sorry
but an ult cul may have some specials so share anw
I am leveling fish first before CUL
Got a quick question. Do I need Dex if I'm playing as a Dragoon?
Not too familiar with the game yet
Strength for non-NIN melee dps and tanks
Understood, thanks ^^
Ninjas a melee, important to distinguish
yes
Aight, thanks
If you look down at your exp bar you'll see the current jobs abbreviation
So armorer is arm
Ninja is nin
Gld for gladiator
Etc etc etc
Yeah, there's just too many to remember for someone who played for a week haha
where could I go for level 27ish fates, I don't wanna do thousand maws yet again and I only need like 15k xp
and to ask
ive been here for like 6 weeks and i still dont have all the abbreviations done perfectly
Early on I kept mistaking Samurai for Ninja and vice versa, for some reason. You figure it out eventually, I promise.
So main stats: Tanks-Vitality, Healers-Mind, Physical DPS except NIN-Strength, Ranged Physical DPS and NIN-Dexterity, Casters-Intelligence.
Tanks main stat is still strength
^
Blue dps
Yea but doesn’t fending gear give less strength than maiming and striking?
No

it scales differently to make tanks do less damage overall
Would you look at that
but the raw stats are the same amounts
question i want to make an alt account and buy a skip for white mage, will my white mage go to 70 and get all abilities and skip all class quests even if my character hasnt progressed through arr yet
Costa got fates round lv 30
Yes
that works, ty
Ah, could have sworn the values were different
also even as a tank you basically never consider vitality as a stat since you'll never not have enough
I assume you mean alternate character and yes
Job skips forcibly complete all job qiests
!trait tank mastery
Can i change the color of the black hair pin?
@thorn thicket this buffs it for them
for an alt would it be more worth and time efficient to buy a skip for msq and level spamming dungeons or a skip for a class
If you're boosting an alt you're probably better off buying both boosts
you'd have to do the shb msq anyway
can only buy 1 for now
why are u making an alt if i may ask
^
fresh start
Then the story skip will probably be more beneficial since you can pivot straight to rdm, Sam, gnb or dnc
drama on main so im avoiding it all
hi, can i send things throught delivery to free trial plaers?
no
thanks
couldn't you just remove yourself from the people causing the drama
i.e. delete them from friends list or leave the FC or whatever
blacklisting doesnt do much unfortunately
how?
Blacklist is actually pretty pitiful
It only blocks people on pf
Not duty finder
And since friends are client side you'll still be on their list even if you unfriend them
how is DF a drama, you just got in, say hello, do duty, say goodbye and leave 😂
I've blacklisted people in df for being c***s
that's... really stupid
yeah, the issue is with rumours out of pf and stuff, ive changed names 5 times but since im still on their friends list that doesnt solve anything
Yeah this too
so i thought the best way was to separate myself from all of it and start over with a new group of friends
This really fucking sucks
ayo squeenix what the fuck
You could server transfer, they won't know afaik
If you move into a new datacenter, wouldnt that remove u from a friends list?
thats tragic actually wtf SE
No, but you'll be perpetually offline afaik
that could be an option, might be cheaper as well
a transfer is like £17 no?
I believe so
aye
I didn't know it was that bad, that you'd sit on their list even if you remove them. I removed a lot of people in my first FC due to our own drama, but... didn't think they could actually still just have me on their list
and a skip is £9 right now because of the sale, i also have very few friends but some on the dc and wouldnt want to leave them
It'll mean keeping all your progress
idk i feel like it would be more refreshing in my circumstance to just start over
but you remove and blacklisted them right? 🤔
yup
I don't think it's worthed to just start over
for me it is ^_^
also, hey, question (not to interrupt what's currently being discussed) - this guy's just kinda chilling out on the water, glitched off of the normal Limsa walkable paths... should I do something about this? like is this reportable or is it not worth it?
(remembered to hide name this time)
yeah, it's a common glitch
nah, that's an oob
oob isnt really reportable
oob is reportable but a petty thing to report
the most it lets you do is get into areas you normally can't to mess with people
Only time I'd bother to report is when it's the obvious swarms of bots after a banwave
afaik it's not a reportable, lol
mk, ty
it is, people have been suspended for oob
cause I see people taking group screenshot all of that just for fun
I don't report for that, I report cuz obvious swarm of bots
for farming tomes why is turn 2 preferred over turn 1 of the bahamut coil raid
faster
from what i can see the reward is the same and the turn 2 requires a higher item level
are they diff raids entirely then?
Yeah
Execution is faster
i see
Why wouldn't they be?
they could just be a harder mode
like does more dmg etc
You can read the duty description
Literally no raids are like that
is alliance raid daily a good thing to get into the habit of doing?
Unless it's a savage version which is the exact same name with (savage) tacked on to the end
And those have way more complicated mechanics anyways
well this is the first raid i unlocked so i had lowkey no way of knowing lol
but thenks for the help
Again the descriptions are different
I think this is the priority
MSQ > Leveling > AR > Frontline > Trials > others
but you can check
!faq altlvlguide
right
what's best method to level my crafters if my allownces are zero
i'll keep dat in mind next time
ok tysm
if you want exp that is
ye, level em all
the ishgardian firmament, probably
just that ?
I mean obviously your job quests will be good too
GC turn ins
no
def not
you are going to lose a lot of money
just wait for your leves
not only from getting xp but to even have stats to upgrade your gear
and custom deliveries

• Level 52 trait [Kenki Mastery] introduces positional bonuses for Gekko and Kasha, granting 5 extra Kenki.
➜ Gekko from the rear/back.
➜ Kasha from the flank/side.
➜ 5 Kenki equals 64+ potency after level 62 and 100+ potency before level 62.
• There are 7-8 Gekko/Kasha every 60s and fulfilling their positional requirements is a potency gain of 448-512 per minute.
➜ Executing positionals correctly is an essential part of any melee DPS job.
example ^
all melees have positional skills
and true north will ignore the positional requirements for the skill to give max potentionals
Oh, so if I need to be behind someone for extra damage or dot it makes it so even if I'm in front it'll do it?
but you should spam it while you are questing, cause you will be soloing the mob
yeah, it's either flank/rear
Alrighty, thanks
if i'm temporarily banned from DF for being afk during duty pops, can i still do things like GATEs or verminion in the gold saucer while i wait the ban out?
as long as it doesn't need you to queue into something, then generally yes.
so for the GATEs you wouldn't be able to do Air Force One or the Jumping instance, but can do all the others
okay, thanks
are fates better or bozja for grinding the memories?
Fates if you’re by yourself
Bozja if you have 23 friends
do the one that makes it feel less grindier
where can you sell Allagan Silver Piece?
I personally prefer bozjan (cluster farming)
Any NPC vendor.
any shop, just open ur inventory when their shop is open
anyone else using ALT key, i have an issue
Fates + Blue
Destroy them.
When do individual job quests end & branch off into role quests, its 70 right?
yea
Hmm oki, tysvm
Is the raid in the Bozjan kinda just like CE? It appears randomly?
Question, if i register for a duty while tank is needed, but got party a lot later when it is healer's turn, do iget the tank bonus?
yea, I think the default timer is 30 mins
and you can shorten it by finishing more FATE
so just stay on populated Bozjan instance, and you'll see CLL pop more often
Yes
type /sea to check Bozjan population
yeah, then stay and just do more CE and FATE
Okay hoping to clear at least one CLL
I arrived at the Vista underneath Chamber of Rule but when i use lookout it won't register. Am I doing something wrong?

salute?
It might need a time of day
I will try using Salute next time.
As a level 26 lancer should my rotation be True Thrust into Disembowel and then True Thrust into Vorpal Thrust into life Surge into Full Thrust and if Life Surge is down then just True Thrust into Vorpal Thrust?
i was following this one at Ariyala, it showed as active earlier. something like "active 5 mins remaining"
Ye, just 1-2-3 unless you need disembowel buff
Thanks
how much potency does Art of War have without broil mastery/trait/upgrade?
is there actually anything in any job similar to when ||Alisaie summons her magic sword or whatever it is||?
oh so they gave the boost to AoW innately because it needed help?
oh
nevermindi didnt see that
huh
its just an upgrade think its like 140 or something
let me look
nope no idea
website doesnt say either
youd have to be a sch between 46-53 to look 
but its probably low like 10 or something (increase)
I'm not too sure about Hunt. I know Ixion (FATE) rewards you with the horn to exchange it with mount. Odin (FATE) rewards you with items to exchange with armors. What about the others? Are all S-Rank or special FATE have some kind of special rewards?
you guys got any tips on how to make gil? I spent all of mine on glam stuff.
ye, mount, glams, minion
1 tip from me, completing coffee biscuits leves
make money where you spend them: glamours :3
thats getting killed for EW
Both S-Rank and FATE? Interesting
level crafters
i'm trying to mine mythril ore atm since it's the most in demand in mb but 99 is just about 13k
ye, both give you nuts/ seals/ special stuff you can exchange for what i said ye
Too many exchange items in ffxiv I got nowhere to store lol! Anyway, thank you~!
can trace back the glamours you bought yourself and make money there
or craft/ fish/ gather what popular leves/ job quests ask for
is leves better than selling stuff on mb?
If EW is $39 USD now as pre-order, does anyone know how much it will be on release?
same price
or not better but easier, steadier
how do i uninstall the game?
probably like any other program, go to windows settings > apps & features > find ffxiv and click uninstall
am i only allowed to turn in items i have never used to my grand company?
no, you can turn in stuff you have used
i have this in my inventory. however, they do not show up when i sort by "hide gearset items"
they did not show up when they were in the armoury chest either.
this is all i see in expert delivery
with the cross data center to be implemented on EW, does anyone know if cross region travel will eventually be implemented or not?
I'm gonna move to OCE but would love to still play with my pals on NA. Thinking of buying boost for an alt, so I kinda would like to know this info
Its planned but no time frame known iirc
Is there any backless long dress for healers?
iirc white gear is not eligible for expert delivery
oh
also "hide gearset items" is a toggle that does what it says
yeah none of them are in a gearset
the gear is either in armory chest or regular inventory

they were all white items
just sell them to a vendor i guess
hello, hi. i need to know what i should do to get this game. i'm unsure if i should get it on steam or from the site since i live is SEA and i dont know much about transactions and all of that if i ever decided to buy this game after the trail ends. i'm completely new to all of this so any help is appreciated.
does it have to be materia added into the item? if so how do i obtain lvl 18 materia
any materia will do
either marketboard or extracting from 100% spiritbond gear
my item lvl is 18
ah right
and my orb materia is lvl 30
That stinks
Materia eligibility depends on the item level
eeyup that's gonna need a materia I

only thing with a low enough ilvl requirement
!faq
clarification: "item level" is separate from equip level
!faq machinist
Please use these in #kupo-bot-spam
both is same thing
so i need to focus on item lvl then?
Item level represents the power level of the gear
Equip level is part of the equipment requirements of the gear
yeah but i meant is, does meld only able to place into item if the item level is same or lower
for example my item lvl for helmet is 10 and my meld orb is like 12. they can't be added
correct?
Maybe, the deal is, we don't do melding at low level for combat jobs
You gain better gear fast enough, making melding not worthwhile
its for quest
Oh
how do i get up there?
am i reading it correctly that it needs to be materia added into iron hoplon
Yes
i got item just not saying its "done" questy
okay so going back again. any way to obtain lvl 18 or lower orb?
yeah any materia
any kind i dont mind
oh, this isnt an aether wind thingy then?
or jus tmarket?
wind things are green and named
yeah marketboard if you haven't extract any materia
ill take a look at my butler
he may be carrying some
since i got overflood with it early game
materia I/2 usually expensive on mb
aether current i think
no shit XDDDDD
yeah just spam the aether compass while you are doing MSQ and Blue Quest in the area
if it says <300 yalm, just get the aether current and then continue questing
yeah zodiac weapon quest need them
TRUE
but also armory quest
for lvl 20
Almost never
Why
for a tank, you use it just for niche situation like in some normal raids
Whats the point in saving it tho?
In dungeon, usually the ranged physical or mages use their LB, which is an AOE, to take care of a big group of enemies
for a dps to kill things quickly
the potency is tripled/double when you collect 2/3 bars
perfect. it makes sense now to me. many thanks for help
In raids, healers can use LB3 to rez the whole group, or melee dps can use LB3 to dish a lot of damage on a single target
Can't we just all use it?
Oh I thought everyone had one like skills lmao
Nah
I might've been spamming it in dungeons cuz it looked cool...
Tank uses LB in a specific raid and trial
Tank: big migitation, which is rarely necessary
Healer: big heal (and rez at LB3), which is rarely necessary
Ranged physical: line AOE, big damage
Mage: circle AOE, big damage
Melee: single target big damage
Yeah. That's bad
Idk I thought it was like an ultimate and that everyone had their own rip
You don't generate limit break as an individual
Tank priority if required for mechanic
Healer priority if required for rez
Else
For trash adds
Caster > Ranged > save it
For single target
Melee > caster > ranged
It only shows up in a party
You won't use it until shadowbringers 5.3
As a tank, nah
what if no one else uses theirs?
Alright guess I'll tell them they're supposed to lol
Too many DPS don't use LB on a big pull
If it's never used, just spend it on the last boss
Ok thanks everyone
Try to word it as Mage or ranged physical can use LB to clean up mobs
Don't get too hung up on they are supposed to do it
If it didn't happen, just let someone use it on a boss
Still a lot of damage anyway, but would be better if used on mobs
How do you float like this?
Ngl this is kinda disappointing I was looking forward for everyone to use theirs at the same time how it would look
Emote from buying a 250 dollar statue
didn't know it was a shared resource
In an alliance raid, there are 3 parties
So 3 Limit Break can go off at the same time
Then if LB isn't the ultimate attack, do we even have one?
no
LB is the equivalent of an ultimate skill
Should a samurai use their LB cuz I'm thinking of switching when I reach 50
They're dps
So yes
On a single boss, yes
I meant as in class specific ultimate lol
Oh alright
if I use <mo> for a skill such as Aether manip, can i use it normally using the same macro as long as im not mousing over anything
I have a question about preorder bonuses for Endwalker, is there a time between now and release where if you preorder you won’t get the bonuses (Earring and minion). My partner hasn’t ordered it yet but was wondering and I wasn’t exactly sure.
Sorry if this is worded strangely, I’m tired
is there ANY use for lower level materia, when you are almost at max level?
can you elaborate pls?
Grade 3 materias are used to start the ARR relic weapons but that's about it
Crafter and gatherer materia melds their primary stats, and if you are trying to do penta meld (melding 5 materia on a single piece of gear), you can use lower level stuff on the 5th slot just for a bit of additional stat
how about 1 and 2?
For combat jobs at max level, they just melds the two highest level materia to gain meaningful amount of secondary stat
Low level materia doesn't offer any worthwhile increase in stat for combat jobs at all
My chocobo disappeared from the party list (I am solo) how can I bring it back
So I tried to add some Crysta to my account via paypal but during the payment my internet fucked up and I had to refresh the page. Now it says that my payment to SE is pending and I didn't get any Crysta added to my account. Think I should contact support or wait it out a day or so?
feed him
!item gyshal green
God damn it
greens
Get this item
no, it's out just not in the party list
can I lose my apartment through inactivity like a house?
ah
reset game?
lol im not sure
there is an option
so, i should just sell them or something, right?
'show party list when solo'
no way to combine low leveled ones to higher, right?
should be in party list options somewhere
You can, just not worth the effort
How did you level your Chocobo?
And it relies on RNG
ok gotcha
Let it join you in open world combat
for the trivia of it, how do you even combine them?
oh in Muta? ok thanks!
Hello I am somewhat new to the game on PSN switched from PC I have completed the ARR MQS and unlocked the DK quest line which I was trying to do but now I’m LVL 30 again and cannot complete quests as they are LVL 50 where should I go to quest to get my lvl up so I can continue the story.
Chocobo gain experience when you fight enemies at your level
i got the early to rise hairstyle, i cant find it at the aesthetician
found it. really curios how I managed to disable it
You don't need to cater for your chocobo
Did you use the item ?
yah
Yeah, Noted. Will do that at a latter time.
so it seems I can't queue for lab of the ancient in an undersized party 😦
are you viera?
you can do palace of the dead as a DRK to level up easily
au ra
are u scrolling thru all the hairstyles
@shell geyser where is that I heard someone mention that but I don’t see palace of the dead anywhere
weird
Quarrymill
I want to say you need at least 3 people to undersize alliance raids, one for each alliance, but even with 3 you would automatically fail the mechanic that needs 4 people standing on panels.
are you on chaos datacentre? if so i can show you around and go for a run with you
@pale vigil use DRK to queue for the highest level dungeon it can go in, rinse and repeat
Don't use potd to level tanks
Just use dungeon
LotA forces at least 15 players due to the pads mechanic.
@warped nest I wouldn’t mind that but I have never tanked in an MMO this is my first so I suck bad that might not be the fastest way for me not sure
Is it normal that my payment to SE says "Pending" on PayPal? This is the first time I've had it happen and I'm worried it's cause my internet fucked up during the payment process and I had to refresh the page.
Watch weskalber on YouTube for beginner DRK guide
just go into a dungeon u wont learn otherwise
Just watch up to level 30
Then practice for a few minutes
If you want to play tank, you gonna learn eventually
Either learn now at lvl 30
Or learn later at lvl 50, when people expect you to know how since you have played DRK for 50 levels
Tanking is not difficult in this game, I can assure you that
I’ll check out the YouTube you sent
Weskalber, beginnner dark knight guide
It is marked as legacy because we are moving into a new expansion soon, but the information is solid
tank leveling is
make sure turn your tank stance on, pull >=2 group of mob at a time, spam aoe and cycle mitigation one by one till 80
DRK barely changes in endwalker
and for boss, change to single target rotation, that's it
Just want to make sure that they don't panic from seeing legacy on the video
Use mitigation/defensive abilities at high health
This give you more "health" for the enemies to chew through
use mitigation on trash, dont save it for bosses
Any thing I should get to have an exp boost I have the earring that boost to 80 and I stay wel fed for the 3% anything else I can to stack on that?
Specifically, if your ability are 30/60/90s or whatever, don't save it for boss, just get value out of it now
It will probably be ready when you need it again
@pale vigil not much tbh
Ok

theres the Armory bonus and rested bonus but those are pretty much always on too
@warped nest is this the video you mentioned
I didn’t see anything about beginners guide from this person you mentioned.
No just DRK
👍
It's legacy cuz Endwalker in 2 weeks but it'll get you the fundamentals
There's also an abcs of tanking video
We stan weskalber in this channel
doing lower eden raids won`t get me to ilvl 460 right ?
yeah, i need the ones with the books
that would be from savage
oh, can i get to 460 only with savage raids ?
i need it to progress with msq
heroes gauntlet to be precise
at that point you'd be better off getting gil from roulettes and grabing exarchic
since its 510
allegory gear is 490 and revelation is 520
in eulmore, tombstone trader
actually just read this tbh
this tells exactly all the gearing info you need
which world would i pick if im from australia ?
tonberry or kujata if you like ping
any na server if you prefer english DC's
and wait for 6.1 ish for OCE servers
what does dc mean
data center
are there no oce servers ?
not currently
Not until February
They are adding one in 6.1
You will probably have best ping to JP servers. There are two JP servers where English-speakers from OCE and SEA congregate: Tonberry and Kujata
when OCE datacentres get added you will be able to transfer for free.
Hey i need help understanding something
go on
I pre-ordered Endwalkers and had the option to get a code earlier directly through the store instead of email
Is that the code for the expansion itself or just preorder bonuses
Hi, I'm a free trial player and my gil has reached the 300k cap. Any advice on how to save them? I want to continue doing stuff but don't want to waste my gil reward
No shitpost answers here please
I believe that's only pre-order
Did you purchase from SE site?
Yes
Yeah, it's just pre-order
The site might update later
But you will be emailed the code closer to launch
unfortunately there's not a lot you can invest in with your gil as a free trial player. You can buy crafting materials and gear and so forth from vendors but it won't be great.
No, I won't.
likely you're just going to overcap and lose gil
183 votes and 31 comments so far on Reddit
I didn't mind cuz I thought the code i received in email was all I needed
Thanks! Will take a look at those links
So I essentially wasted 40 bucks :/
Tonberry and Kujata which world has more players ?
World populations are generally balanced
Officially, nobody but SE knows
we have no official stats but there are population balancing incentives in place and you'll have the same experience most places
You share duty/party finder throughout the dc anyway
everything is done cross-server, no servers are dead in the slightest
in fact basically all of them are overcrowded atm
No? The email should go to the same account as the preorder email did
No, my square enix account uses an older email to my FFxiv account
whats a good class im new to this ?
Older email I lost access to
All of them
Any works fine
Did you get the preorder email?
Pick one you think looks fun/good/cute
The site should update with the expansion key
Closer to launch
It should?
Yes
yes
So I can get the expansion key as long as I have access to the store
Cuz I do have access to my account
it'll most likely just add another line here or something
or make a new entry on the purchases
If you got the preorder email, the release email will go to the same account. Not the one linked to the store, but the one you entered when you did your checkout.
That's why that exists
No, I got that, Sad
Well I'm grateful square added that failsafe
But if they got the preorder email, then I fail to see the issue.
Because they're not going to send the release code to a different email address.
That would be stupid.
I got my preorder code from the store
Is Living Dead the worst invuln? I get that it has a maximum of 10s invuln as opposed to holmgang's 8s, but most of the time my healer just benedictions as soon as it pops. it also has an extra minute of cd.
Yup
It's actually poop
As a dark main, yes
On one hand
it's hte best
Because it has a 10s window to pop
and it's active for 10s from the moment you hit 1
so you get the entire 10s worth
On the other
It fucking disappears the moment you get healed for 100% of your hp

Assuming you can get the entire 10s of walking dead
Living Dead is fine
Which is highly unlikely
LD is fine as long as your healer knows what they're doing.
Yeah, it is fine
imo they should swap the CD of holm and LD
I guess that's why they gave them TBN in SB 🤷
it's not
TBN is decent, but it isn't as great as people claim it to be
it feels fucking fantastic
there’s no … world where LD is the “worst” or even a candidate for that pos >.>
out of the 4 invulns
it's the worst
living dead is the easiest invuln to screw up if your healers have twitchy fingers
for example, its 10s activation window means it can be popped before a mechanic that immobilises the tank and stops them from acting
LD can be used before the intended damage without losing uptime on the actual invuln
and protect from some attacks that the others can't in this way.
This means it can be used as unique cheese in some rare situations
So what time should the store update to add the Endwalkers expansion code itself
Official Release is when they'll update the SE store
ultimately though the most important factor in determining an invuln's strength is generally its cooldown timer
which is why holmgang is god tier
^ so much
CD is important yeah but I find that a lot of the time that I use it in big pulls I die anyways
it's fine in savages tho
healer not paying attention
or they don't heal enough for you to survive after it expires
Healer's fault entirely
everything is viable in all content, even ultimate lol
or you wall pulled bardam's mettle in poetics gear
Heyy sorry for bothering but does any one know what these glams(?) Are??
i nevr get my chances to play ff and im trying to find references of the ((arm gears(?)))
!iglam adamantite pauldroncoat of fending
the arms hmmmm
Oo fancy,thank you!! :0
top looks like it's one of the recolours of that actually, due to the brown chest strap
yeah... i have a bad experience with leveling through sb as a tank
Ghost Barque Coat of Striking i believe
could be wrong
the arms are the nightsteel fending gauntlets
!iglam Ghost Barque Coat of Striking
Ahh yes i found them all now,thank you so much!!! This is very helpful to me :} 💛💛
dungeons?
I’m trying to lvl a friends alt character to 15 so we can do dungeons
If you mean you're just trying to find people, then the main city-states.
or use party finder
open world enemies? you can kill the goblins in the dravanian forelands
lvl char to 15
Think they mean mobs?
uhh u can just do the hunting log
Alright I’ll try that
Hi!! anyone has done an ARR Relic weapon? I am having trouble with the sphere scrolls if anyone could help me
what’s troubling?
If you cancel a preorder for EW and re-place that order, can you redeem the new code and still get early access?
I've had some trouble with a guest checkout preorder and the support from the store is incredibly smooth-brained

I just finished infusing the scroll and now i dont know what to do with it, Jalzahn wont take it
is there anything else i could put allegory towards other than crystalline rain? it doesn't seem like there's much point with EW on the horizon, could i be using it to make gil somehow?
Am currently a few hours into SB already, and most of my jobs are almost level 70 when my quests are for level 63+
Should I level up another class/job? Already have one job for each role that is almost level 70 fyi. :)
thanks
hmm up to you, all we can say is job quest and msq are the most important stuff to do
should be one of the upgrading options
😂 like you can do what you like
i did end up starting a second class for that reason, it didn't bother me otherwise except when i got some cool new ability and then had to wait ages to get to use it in a dungeon
okay i am confused. i am lvl 30 with armorer and done the quest for desync but how does it work?? and how do i know if i can deync it? i am very confused
right click -> desynth
i only have soulglazed relics, Zenith, Atma and Animus
click soulglaze?
I forgot, does desynth tied with the type of doh and the gear type?
maybe?
it's a quest unlock
i already complete the quest
like armourer can only desynth the item armoured made
what are trying to desynth? cause each doh can only des certain things
or is it the repair?
it sais, you must be equipped with a relic weapon novus
but i dont know how to upgrade it
Gone to Pieces?
Gotcha. Thank you!
like pilers
screenshot the item that you want to desynth, the tooltips
should be fine then, provided your crafter is lvl 30
lvl 31
Yes items are desynthed by the same class that makes it repairs them
The class to repair is shown in the tooltip
ah ok so the matching doh is for desynth and repair
it'll have a helmet icon in this spot
That class must be level 30 to desynth
already forgotten 😂
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
You can see right there it says blacksmith
if you have finished the scroll then it’s definitely one of the options jaz has. I dont recall which one but it’s him
okay yeah
You don’t need to look at the icon
i can see that now
it just says crafting and repairs
yeah, cause desynth has individual levels
Look again
Can you dye the Leonhart attire?
yeh
okay im looking on this
gunmetal dye for slick look
sick, thanks
repair level?
I am a new player and I am planning to use a jump, dont judge me I am not a story guy and I work 12 hours a day. I want to know if I skip to 70 will I be able to understand everything i need for endgame and play summoner or do you recommend any other classes to me
okay well it makes sense now, i thought i can break it down cause it fits with my role of the class
actuall, try animus enhancement cause you’re trying to go from animus to novus >.>
you still need to do stories till 80
if you mean endgame = raid
everything is locked behind the story
and yeah, all class are easy to grasp
just make sure you read the tooltips, guide and practice your rotation
well that was simple. haha
If you skip story you need a separate skip to level a job up to 70
there is little too much to remember in this game at times like this xd
@vocal ermine thank you
Else you’ll be gimped and unable to do anything and have to level up at half the normal rate
this is it!! thank you
You’ll also still have to play the most recent expansion story and level 70–80 no matter what
Make sure to consult a guide for your job
I plan on doing the last story, im just afraid ill be lost after skip
Weskalber’s YouTube channel is highly recommended
can i ask about payment/store questions here, or is this channel just for in-game matters?
well yeah it's like watching the last season of a tv series
Story wise yeah you’ll be somewhat lost
something like that
@jade quartz thanks
without watching the previous seasons
Having just returned and I think about halfway through SB, you guys think it's possible to clear all content up to current to be ready for the expansion next month?
If by all content you mean side stories
Some might be a bit tough to get through
But if you really go gamer mode it’s possible
23 days left so has to be semi nolife hardcore mode too
okay, so i've read through the pins and there doesn't seem to be a FAQ/support document on pre orders specifically. so can i ask about PO payment technical issues here?
it's better to just ask your question than ask if you can ask your question
hm. well, i'll try anyway i guess
so i'm having an issue where squeenix says they failed to debit my card, even though it has a sufficient amount of funds to pay for EW. when i tried to update my payment method (although really, it's only reinputting the same data i used to checkout a few weeks ago), it produces this error
the issue is, i bought the complete edition license back in july with this same card info and it worked without issues. a week ago, i also bought crysta as means to pay my sub and it also worked out well too
