You'll be the last one

#

Your character is carried over

craggy tinsel
#

no, the only time you benefit from it is the Shadowbringers turn-in quests for crafters/gatherers

#

though after a while, you do NEED HQ for turn-ins

#

for the quests

chrome lava
#

Okay cool

craggy tinsel
#

usually starts around 20ish? I think?

chrome lava
#

For now I'm only turning in HQ at the levequests

plucky plank
#

Hi similar to Taz question. I am finishing HW and moving out of free trial. Do you have any advice on what to do or Lookout for?

warm snow
#

See command sent to taz

chrome lava
#

oh lol I'm literally level 20 doing lvl 15 job missions so guess that's next

craggy tinsel
#

it'll be like 20 or 25

#

some quests won't require HQ, but most will

plucky plank
#

I'm not asking for payment or buying methods. I'm asking for what to look out for or what to do first in game.

steep egret
#

buy the correct version, if you are on Steam, you buy from steam, if you are not on Steam, buy from the correct Square Enix store for the region your account is registered for, if you buy the game on the wrong region store, you cant redeem it, you need to buy, starter edition and endwalker both

craggy tinsel
#

there was some crafting quest for CUL in the 50s that required one thing to be HQ and one didn't matter, it was weird

craggy tinsel
#

You can worry about everything else once you're caught up in story, as you'll have access to everything and therefore have more options for what you can do

Thanks guys, I get what i need to do now, and what to get.

umbral dune
#

if you want to be serious with crafting, you need to maximize HQ bar from the very start, for extra exp and HQ is the standard, non HQ are trash

craggy tinsel
#

you won't get bonus xp from the quests when leveling, only levequests

chrome lava
#

Is it only early levels where hq is rng or am I just not pushing the buttons in the right order since I have to rely on the rng hasty ability sometimes

umbral dune
#

no, craft in general, the higher the HQ bar fulfilled, the more exp

craggy tinsel
#

well yes

HQ scales exponentially when filling the bar and is increased by certain abilities (Touch abilities)

#

however, it doesn't matter if the item hits 100% quality (guaranteed HQ) if the craft isn't finished, i.e. the progress bar isn't filled (by Synthesis abilities)

obsidian patio
#

CP management becomes a lot better past the 50-60's

craggy tinsel
#

Keeping on top of your gear will be VERY important - I recommend leveling all your crafters simultaneously, or having someone on hand to help you out with gear

obsidian patio
#

Hasty Touch for now is just your last resort tool for increasing quality

rich tapir
#

how do i delete my retainer?

craggy tinsel
#

I believe a Retainer Vocate

#

i.e. the person who originally gave you the retainer

rich tapir
#

oh, ty

umbral dune
#

gathering HQ give like 2x exp for DoL, will the new boon bonus reward the same?

green grail
#

we don't know

dapper oyster
#

Whats boon bonus?

#

That typo... I would never forget that typo

obsidian patio
#

Perception in 6.0 will give a chance of an extra item when gathering instead of increasing HQ chance.

craggy tinsel
#

oh that's nice, I never actually got to watch the last PLL so I didn't know what was changing

warm snow
#

All dol quests are getting reworked to a degree

#

We don't know the full specifics

#

Wonder if that finally means ditching the grade 1 carbonised dark matter

obsidian patio
#

and the Achievements that want HQ will be adjusted

craggy tinsel
#

they may just require more for the quests

#

if I had to guess

warm snow
#

I just need btn now

craggy tinsel
#

er wait that's DoL

obsidian patio
#

Fishers will also use a tag called "Large-Sized" instead of HQ for their skills that rely on HQ fish

craggy tinsel
#

also mfw I had a sub-1min solo DPS queue for an ARR dungeon at 6am

#

feel like I need to buy a lottery ticket

jade quartz
#

whoops this is qnh

craggy tinsel
jade quartz
#

😇

obsidian patio
#

you forgot to include Hrothgar

umbral dune
jade quartz
#

Gatherer's boon will be the name of the proc that gives you an extra item/s when gathering.

umbral dune
#

without HQ and NQ co-exist, should save a bunch of space when leveling

dapper oyster
#

I tried to level DoL

I really hate the class quest where they want us to gather some HQ item

I cheesed DoH class quest with high level equipment to get HQ item crafted, just cant cheese DoL

digital lake
#

Marketboard 😏

honest anvil
#

buy from mb

#

they are 
 cheap

digital lake
#

"Hi yes i made/gathered this"

honest anvil
#

buying is gathering with gil instead of gp ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i only did 1 doL and 1 doH quest lines legitimately.. i bought all the rest

digital lake
#

In endwalker they will remove hq gathering though so that's nice

dapper oyster
#

Probably im quite late to the quest that one piece of HQ low level material costs like 1k

#

Well thats like 1 month ago

proven wing
#

Any decent suggestions for female Paladins that aren't elemental mail, ivalician, halone's mail, or a class set?

obsidian patio
#

I like this chestpiece for general use

#

!iglam bluespirit cuirass of fending

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

deepshadow set as a whole is also very nice

quick badge
#

Anyone know any linkshells or discords for treasure hunting on Chaos I find it hard to find people to do them with besides my fc sometimes

warm snow
#

Laws order is nice, I personally use diamond armor

#

But I really like capes

#

Crystarium guard chest piece from msq is good

heavy wadi
#

I generally do role glams, so I just use the exarchic fending coat myself

warm snow
#

TIL Endwalker drops and pisses me off

proven wing
#

I'm currently running the Paglth'an chestpiece. I kinda want two glams, a more armored one and a dressy one. The dressy one I'm leaning towards Neo-ishgardian fending. I realize I've posted this in #questions-and-help and will move to the glam channel

pale vigil
#

Anyone play on PSN I have switched due to easier access to play anyways does anyone know of a video that is a good mapping for controller how to get additional cross bars and a set up?

warm snow
#

The best mapping is what works for you

#

Just make sure to use your l2+r2 binds

#

The double tap binds are also worth using

pale vigil
#

Ok I guess what I mean is how to get more crossbars on one screen instead of haveing to hold R1 and switch

warm snow
#

I tend to set up the first crossbar for single target

#

And the second crossbar for aoe

serene steppe
warm snow
#

With the lr+r2 binds on crossbar 4

pale vigil
#

That’s kinda what I have now buffs on one aoe on one and single on one

warm snow
#

And the double tap binds on crossbar 3

jade quartz
#

and then enable "WXHB" (bizarre name) to get another set of buttons for double-tap L2 and double-tap R2

serene steppe
#

Generally put attacks you want to do while moving on your face buttons

#

So like if hou're melee, your main combo

pale vigil
#

I’m confused I don’t double tap anything I either have to hold R2 and cast whichever button or hold L2 and cast whichever if I want to use a skill not on the screen have to hold R1 and switch to another hot bar

serene steppe
#

It's a specific option

pale vigil
#

Ok

sudden epoch
#

Quick question to mmo mouse users, are they rly that good? Also hearing a lot of stuff bout g600. How does it compare to corsair elite?

pale vigil
#

I’ll have to dig into it this is new for me on controller

serene steppe
pale vigil
#

Thanks!

@cursive ridge

YO! Which ALEXANDER should I run exactly? RE: Anima Sad - for the unidentifiable stuff, (EXCEPT The BOne, because I have those now)

#

I also read A9?

warm snow
#

1-4 if you're that desperate

boreal tree
#

Hello Kat

warm snow
#

Can't remember which drops the bone trading material

boreal tree
#

I got the bone already; I had a lot of allied seals!

#

Maybe because I joined some hunt trains, in my ignorance, I just followed people and slowly understood what it was.

#

But OK, thanks, Kat

#

I'll do Poetics farm with Crystal Towers while also farming for the OIL at the same time.

rigid kite
#

How do I move this thing around? Can't find the setting in HUD layout

warm snow
#

Change hud layout to duty

rigid kite
#

I see, thank you

chrome lava
#

Is overmelding the only thing the materia npc can't do and you have to do either yourself or find someone?

warm snow
#

Pretty much

#

Also melding yourself is free

patent frigate
#

I just realized u can join a dungeon using the menu u don't actually have to go there or am I wrong?

warm snow
#

That's corrext

jade quartz
#

namazuconcern yes

warm snow
#

Unless there's a cutscene you'll also be right back where you were originally when you finish a dungeon

#

If there's a cutscene you'll be moved back to the dungeon entrance

leaden ginkgo
#

is there crafted gear for ilevel510 that i can buy from the MB to get 510 ? if so can anyone tell me the name of it? ^^;

warm snow
#

Yes

#

Exarchic

chrome lava
#

Levelling DoH seems fun but not when it seems like I'm gonna have to basically do the same thing 8 times to level them all. The MB lets you get away with just levelling a few right?

dim hull
#

Until what date does the Optional Items Sale last?

warm snow
#

The boost sale ends tomorrow

#

It was supposed to end with Endwalker launch

#

But that's delayed

#

Still not changing the sale end date tho

dim hull
#

Hmm how often does it go on sale like this? And do I have to use it right away if I buy it, or could I save it in mailbox for the future?

warm snow
#

No pattern, no and yes

dim hull
#

ah but I think I'd have to pick my class to even buy wouldn't I

#

Can't just buy it on sale and wait to pick a class to try in the future can I, shame

warm snow
#

Honestly levelling alt jobs isn't too bad

#

That and job quests are fun

#

So you really don't need boosts

#

They're mostly there for convenience

dim hull
#

Does One Hero's Journey skip all your class quests?

warm snow
#

And alt characters

warm snow
#

But you can replay them with new game+

leaden ginkgo
regal pawn
#

Gives you a set of poetics gear and completes all job quests

#

and 500k gil

dim hull
#

Hmm Poetic's gear, is that buyable with gil, how long would it take to get that, is it close to BIS

jade quartz
#

It's bought with poetics

#

it's leveling gear, there is no poetics gear at cap

#

Poetics is basically BiS at levels 50, 60 and 70

warm snow
#

Poetics gear is level cap for old expansions

jade quartz
#

Poetics are currency gained from doing PvE content at old level caps

warm snow
#

Useless for any content where having bis actually matters

jade quartz
#

you'll get heaps of it as a matter of course

leaden ginkgo
#

i was thinking about buying the level boosts but when i switched from Controller to keyboard i realized how important it is that i should level them from scratch because theres a LOT to learn and it would make things better and efficient in terms of truly memorizing your skills and rotations for that class

jade quartz
#

Poetics is short for Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. At level cap there are separate tomestones for buying level cap gear, one of which is weekly capped.

#

Those are gained from level 80 content.

warm snow
#

Poetics are pretty much entirely for old expansion content

jade quartz
#

Poetics is for getting you through the leveling process

#

each set of poetics gear lasts you about 5 levels before it becomes outclassed

regal pawn
warm snow
#

Let's not have this discussion again

#

At least not here

leaden ginkgo

#

WeskAlber

craggy tinsel

#

man's got a whole playlist

warm snow
#

Deaf ears apparently

regal pawn
jade quartz
#

WeskAlber's 1-80 leveling guides on youtube

leaden ginkgo
#

oh i already follow him haha, hes pretty good and thats how i know most of my rotations

jade quartz
#

It says legacy because it will be outdated with the new expansion in two weeks

leaden ginkgo
#

i mean levelling the class itself

jade quartz
#

but as of right now it's relevant

#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
#

Ah thank you

jade quartz
#

for the most effective leveling methods

leaden ginkgo
#

what is the fastest way to unlock squadron, getting company seals?

patent citrus
#

what will happen with the item you are selling in the retainer, is there any expiry date before they disappear?

jade quartz
patent citrus
#

and what happen if a retainer hasn't been checked for 7 days or more

jade quartz
#

Usual way of earning seals is to just greed on all the gear drops in dungeons and turn them in via expert delivery

jade quartz
patent citrus
#

solo lv 61 dungeon they give plenty of seals

jade quartz
#

the item can't disappear

leaden ginkgo
#

alright, thanks

patent citrus
#

ok ty ty

leaden ginkgo
#

this is going to be annoying. -_-

craggy tinsel
#

If you have jobs to level, that's a good way to make some seals

#

Just roll on every piece of gear, trade in what you don't need for the job and trade in gear as it gets replaced

junior tundra
#

is there a reason why retainers cant be assigned expansion jobs like samurai or red mage

warm snow
#

Because those jobs start at level 50

jade quartz
warm snow
#

And your retainers either aren't or you don't have the job unlocked or both

leaden ginkgo
#

You can do Aetherochemical Research Facility on a free trial right?

warm snow
#

Yes

#

You can do everything up to the very beginning of stormblood

leaden ginkgo
#

What about anima weapons?

#

Oh, nice

warm snow
#

Literally everything before ps3 support was dropped

jade quartz
#

except pvp

uncut quarry
#

so is this official art for an already existing manga or is the manga gunna start from december?

leaden ginkgo
#

Say if you bought the level boost, does the NG+ has EVERYTHING from lvl 1-70 in terms of class quests and it doesnt miss ANYTHING at all? because i heard something like its just cutscenes only

green grail
#

it does, just no quest rewards

green grail
jade quartz
digital lake
leaden ginkgo
#

so i wont miss any dialogues or cutscenes?

#

oh okay perfect , thank you

heady bramble
#

Sprout question: In terms of gear, do we buy 2 rings (left and right)?

ivory hornet
#

Hi, i got Firestarter for black mage and i am confused - i thought Fire III is just better than Fire I - so i cast 2x Fire III, then swapped to one ice and thunder I, and then back to 2x Fire III - yet firestarter tell me to cast Fire I - so now i am really confused? i thought Fire III is just simply better then Fire I?

empty mural
#

Am i the only one who struggles with the map when theres more than 1 floor?

Or am i missing something

obsidian patio
ivory hornet
#

so i should still cast Fire I - and fire III, only when firestarter proc?

obsidian patio
#

You only want to cast fire 3 if you have the firestarter proc and when going from ice to fire.

jade quartz
#

!action fire

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Fire** : lvl 2 THM BLM (800 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals fire damage with a potency of 180.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire or removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: 40% chance next Fire III will cost no MP and have no cast time
Duration: 18s

jade quartz
#

!action fire iii

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Fire III** : lvl 34 THM BLM (2000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(3.5 second base cast time)

Deals fire damage with a potency of 240.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s

jade quartz
#

consider the potency per second, and the MP cost

ivory hornet
#

because i have faster cat rate at 3 fros orbs?

jade quartz
#

Casting fire 3 while in ice is sped up by the umbral ice effect yeah

wispy copper
#

can I dye items on glamour plates?

jade quartz
#

it's primarily meant to be used as a stance-switching button.

#

With extra ones only thrown in when you get firestarter.

obsidian patio
jade quartz
#

Fire 1 is still your basic spam spell

heady bramble
#

Ty!

ivory hornet
#

aaaah -thanks a lot, when i am already here - at beginning of exping i used Transpose a lot - with new effects from exping - it is useless to use now? (only when i need to regen mana between packs?)

#

i really thought that firestarter means any fire spells

#

was wondering why it isnt proccing at all

jade quartz
#

Yeah you no longer use transpose during your rotation

warped nest
#

Firestarter give you a free instant cast fire 3

obsidian patio
#

Transpose is mostly a downtime tool when you can't hit anything past level 40, in terms of your single target rotation

warped nest
#

And nothing else

jade quartz
#

(at endgame there is some cursed transpose optimisation but don't worry about that for now)

obsidian patio
#

you still make use of it in your AoE until level 72 once you get Flare.

jade quartz
#

(most players don't do it, and job adjustments are happening with the expansion in two weeks anyway)

#

yeah

warped nest
ivory hornet
#

thanks a lot, all of you helped a lot:D now time to think how to put Fire I back on hotbars:D

jade quartz
#

anyway, follow this blm guide

#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
warped nest
#

So if you dye a gear red inside the plate, the red doesn't reflect to the actual gear

jade quartz
#

follow the rotation for your current level range

#

BLM changes quite a lot as it levels.

warped nest
#

So if you want to use an expensive dye, I'd recommend doing it to the gear directly

#

I would like to add that BLM is getting clean up in Endwalker and it will have a more intuitive rotation while leveling up

ivory hornet
#

interesting that it says for aoe to just spam freeze and not to use Fire II at all

warped nest
#

Because at that level range

obsidian patio
#

Fire 2 is really bad at damage and mp cost

jade quartz
#

that's optimal for that level range yeah

warped nest
#

Freeze adds up to more dps

ivory hornet
#

oh.. oops:D i kept spamming it in dungeons

#

thanks a lot everyone

warped nest
#

You are not incorrect in thinking that. Fire II is AOE spell, and fire spell are your damage spell, put two and two together, one would assume that you should use fire II for AOE damage

#

Just that BLM is weird

#

Not your fault tbh

knotty elk
#

BLM lost me when i reached lvl 50. i'll go back to it when EW comes, it's probs gonna connect to my brain by then

#

i just wanted my boom boom nukes

obsidian patio
#

BLM will also get their level 72 trait right at level one, which basically removes transpose from your rotation completely, outside of downtime.

#

(It lets you cast a spell of the opposite element for 0 MP)

honest anvil
#

basically you become a master immediately after unlocking

warped nest
#

Tldr, a new player leveling a BLM will no longer require that image up there

#

You just have a fire and blizzard rotation from the get go

#

And start inserting new spells in between

fringe reef
#

hey, can i go for the red mage armor while doing the summoner weapon in Eureka?

warped nest
#

Yes

fringe reef
#

nice, ty

patent frigate
#

Can someone explain the Behemoth event to me

#

I stumbled on it randomly and saw a lot of people gathering

#

we killed it but idk whats the point

obsidian patio
#

rare fate spawn that gives tokens for semi-special glamour items

warped nest
#

A helmet iirc

obsidian patio
#

3 different helmets, an earring, ring, dragoon weapon, and ninja weapon.

warped nest
#

I have no idea the fate offer so much rewards

#

Damn

patent frigate
#

I think I only got 5 horns?

obsidian patio
#

5 horns can get you one of the items

patent frigate
#

how and where plz

obsidian patio
#

Aelina in Mor Dhona > Uncanny Knickknacks

patent frigate
#

found her thanks

#

why doesn't the helmet show when I try it on

#

is it cuz I'm on hrothgar?

#

I'll take that as a yes rip

honest anvil
#

can double check if you have the head visor thing turned off or not but 
.

visual sandal
#

Are phantasmagoria tomestones obatinable?

honest anvil
#

being sexy hrothgar comes at a price

patent frigate
#

xD

honest anvil
visual sandal
#

so I can't get deepshadow gear? since those need the tomestones

honest anvil
#

you can with nuts

#

i.e ShB hunt currency

visual sandal
#

with... what?

honest anvil
#

join the server, get the hunt train role and start hunting

visual sandal
#

is that the funny npc in the forgotten knight inn

honest anvil
#

no that’s HW hunt

warm snow
honest anvil
#

ShB’s is in the Crystarium

warm snow
#

A really solid odin statue for outdoors and a behemoth head for your wall

visual sandal
#

bah

#

i'm just not gonna bother with that

honest anvil
#

it’s fast though :3

#

and you can work towards a mount

#

a good mount

visual sandal
#

mounts are not of my interest

honest anvil
#

up to you ^^

idle loom
#

Is there a point in doing the Duty Roulette if you’re not getting the Role Bonus?

visual sandal
#

are people really that crazy about mounts though

visual sandal
#

i.e. xp/gil

honest anvil
#

but roulettes only give the extra rewards once per day fyi

idle loom
#

Ok that’s what I wasn’t sure about. Thanks

honest anvil
#

so dont spam one roulette over and over

visual sandal
#

don't you still get a technical bonus for roulettes

idle loom
#

Yeah I get that, just wasn’t sure if doing them as dps was worth it vs just queuing for highest dungeon

visual sandal
#

it's just a fraction of what it is the first time

warm snow
visual sandal
#

bc I ran levelling roulette multiple times as healer, still got a little extra xp

warm snow
#

đŸ’Ș

#

/mandervillemambo

visual sandal
#

meh the chocobo is good enough for me

honest anvil
#

no fraction is worth getting satasha or one of the super low level ones once you outgrow their exp given 


visual sandal
#

i'm just saying it's still there

warm snow
#

The daily bonus is well worth it

#

But only once a day

#

And not like I need that any more

visual sandal
#

hmm how long would it take to level a class job to 80 doing only msq roulette/wondrous tails

#

few weeks?

honest anvil
#

msq roulette means you’re at lv 50

#

so starting from 50 with spamming those 2 probably takes 2 weeks, tops

visual sandal
#

very cool

warm snow
#

Will depend on your msq roulette "luck"

#

Since prae gives more exp than castrum

honest anvil
#

oh that’s true

boreal tree
#

Pray for Prae and eat dinner during the monologues.

honest anvil
#

but i still think 2 weeks are enough though 🍀

warm snow
#

Less if you're using levelling roulette at the same time

visual sandal
#

nah no levelling

#

since I'm not gonna bother learning to play the job im spamming to 80 part from the 50 rotation

warm snow
#

Oh and use alliance

#

Alliance is good exp

visual sandal
#

I'm not gonna grief 23 other players lmao

warm snow
#

And you'll get ct a good 85% of the time anyways

visual sandal
#

yeah but the other 15% will be horrible

warm snow
#

Git gud lol

visual sandal
#

i'll prob just say my internet is bad and die to every mechanic

honest anvil
#

they are longer but not harder though

#

so stay awake and you’ll be fine

warm snow
#

Laughs in orbonne

#

Oh that was what I was thinking of

visual sandal
#

you think ice mage or freestyle would do less damage?

warm snow
#

Just underequip yourself

visual sandal
#

I do orbonne daily because I enjoy it

warm snow
#

If your item level is around 130 you'll get ct every time on alliance roulette

umbral dune
#

farming the mount in alliance is quite fun, you have to fight with 15 dudes and your only chance is luck smiling

jade quartz
#

ice mage would do less damage.

warm snow
#

Game the system

visual sandal
#

so freestyle blm would work? aight

little moat
#

So I'm finishing the post shadowbringers stuff and my iLvl is too low to do the next dungeon I'm supposed to do. I'm guessing tomestones is the easiest way to gear up but what's the fastest way to get those?

umbral dune
#

unlimited mp so you never need to worry about that like melee dps

jade quartz
#

what is freestyle blm even wearycarby

#

can we not

visual sandal
#

button mash whatever

warm snow
jade quartz
#

just play the job correctly please

warm snow
#

And there's 2 level 80 dungeons you can do now

jade quartz
#

it's not a challenge

#

especially at level 50.

warm snow
#

One in crystarium one in eulmore

visual sandal
#

look I want to lvl blm to 80 without actually playing the class because I hate casters

warm snow
#

Look for bluequest

jade quartz
#

don't.

umbral dune
#

can party member see the umbra soul?

warm snow
#

Yes

visual sandal
#

so I'm doing msq roulette spam and WT

#

alliance raids that are perma CT are also an option

jade quartz
#

Load into pvp as BLM and switch jobs

#

that way your BLM gets exp.

visual sandal
#

and you could just faceroll there

little moat
visual sandal
#

never touched pvp and never will

jade quartz
#

But either way it's not a big ask to just do your basic rotation.

little moat
#

But is dungeon spam the best way to get tomes?

jade quartz
#

If you can't tolerate doing that, don't play.

visual sandal
#

that's the thing

And that's allegory

I'm only doing the basic rotation

nothing past 50+

pallid hearth
#

Can I go back to free trial after subscription?

visual sandal
#

or whatever seems to work, just fire spam swap to ice blah blah

jade quartz
#

Put effort in or don't join other players

warm snow
#

It was a trial

#

Trial period is over

little moat
#

I saw roulettes give tomes but only for your first completion. I guess spamming the newer dungeons is the way to go for more then. Thanks

visual sandal
#

I said I'm doin msq roulette and WT

#

which is minimal player interaction

pallid hearth
#

So I have create a new account to play on free trial again?

jade quartz
#

doesn't matter

warm snow
#

Roulettes give tomes once a day

pallid hearth
#

Well yeah obviously tho lol 😂

jade quartz
#

practice common courtesy.

visual sandal
#

BLM is literally the only job I don't want to play

warm snow
#

Not just for first time completion, just spend some allegory tomes on gear if you're at gauntlet you'll have plenty

jade quartz
#

then don't play it

#

simple.

visual sandal
#

I still need to get it to lvl 80

jade quartz
#

No you don't

warm snow
#

You're already in eulmore

jade quartz
#

You want Amaro? put in the effort

#

else too bad.

visual sandal
#

I do indeed

#

Yeah which is worth as much as prae spam and WT

jade quartz
#

Don't go around griefing people for it.

visual sandal
#

Again, literally said doing minimal player interaction with prae/WT

jade quartz
#

Changes nothing

visual sandal
#

sure thing

little moat
#

So I just wondered what's the fastest way to get more tomes

warm snow
#

All the first time bonuses for ShB side content

#

The weapon series in ala mhigo, the Eden raids etc

little moat
#

So the other blue quests that aren't dungeon related give tomes as well? I've done the first eden line but I'm way too low to do the savage stuff I think so I've stopped

wispy copper
#

do I have to join a free company to get a chocobo?

warm snow
#

Trials and raids

jade quartz
warm snow
#

But you do have to join a grand company as part of the story and to unlock the chocobo/mounts as a whole

wispy copper
#

I did, they want me to get an issuance and the quartermaster won't sell me anything

warm snow
#

Because you're fucking broke

#

Go finish the next msq for some seals

wispy copper
#

I have 200 though

warm snow
#

That should be enough

#

Just go find the issuance

umbral dune
#

not OIC quartermaster

boreal storm
#

And are you looking at the right tab

umbral dune
#

that the wrong npc

wispy copper
#

ahhh, it was the wrong npc

#

woops

#

thank you

little moat
#

Resurrection savage I believe

warm snow
#

No it's not

#

After you do a tier you unlock the savage version but that's completely optional

#

Edens verse is the next tier

#

That'll have 4 more raids

#

The last 4 are locked behind finishing the 5.3 msq

#

Which conveniently is where you are right now

little moat
#

Ah that's my issue then

#

I need to finish 5.3 by getting to ilvl 460 then I can continue eden as well. Thanks

warm snow
#

You can do the first 8 Eden raids before 5.3

#

All the way to edens verse refulgence

little moat
#

Who unlocks the next 4?

warm snow
#

Should be right there in amh araeng

#

Idk what the last Eden quest you did was do I can't tell you for sure

little moat
#

I think I've found it. Thanks for your help everyone!

warm snow
#

Have fun, the 8th Eden raid is a blast and music is fantastic

raw granite
#

7th is the actual best raid ever just because of how much of an ungodly mess it is

little moat
#

Well I saw a lot of the first 4 from the floor after dying so hopefully the next 4 go a bit better jaha

raw granite
#

That's to be expected honestly

#

If you could no death raids first try the game would be boring as shit

little moat
#

Well everyone else in the raid had basically double my HP so I guess I shouldn't feel that bad

raw granite
#

Are you min ilvl or just a healer ?

little moat
#

Both

warm snow
#

Your item level is kinda shit for this late in an expansion, you'll be fine once you get up to date

#

They're below 460

little moat
#

I started a few months ago I've been trying to just spam through the msq so I can start endwalker when it comes out

distant jay
#

did they intentionally design the guy on the shadowbringer login screen to look like guts?

#

just noticed it

raw granite
#

it's a DRK and DRK are inspired by Berserk

boreal storm
#

Yes DRK is a berserk reference

raw granite
#

So I suppose kinda

distant jay
#

thats cool

raw granite
#

Damn I wish DRKs were even half as cool as Guts though

distant jay

and i wish my dragon waifu had wings

raw granite
#

Don't get me started on au'ras

junior walrus

some gear have wings

#

like the dreadwyrm sets

distant jay

well i guess u can mod them too

dreadwyrm set lowkey looks kinda goofy

For SEA players, what's the best server to join? I've been reading 3-4year old reddit threads that mainly say Tonberry in the JP data centre is best

There's gonna be a data center for you guys soon

Tonberry but honestly it won't matter soon once the oceania dc goes up

Oh? Is it worth it to wait first then?

“Soon” isn’t until like February, just as a note.

twin tendon

ah..

Transfers to that dc will be free though

So would it be best if I played on an NA server despite the poor ping then transfer to that new Oceania Data Centre pops up?

If I buy the game on steam, can I still buy still via the mog station for a discounted price or everything needs to be bought on steam ?

arr is boring but ultimate time waster is Eureka 


#

that thing just .. won’t finish

chilly wave
#

So I just started the game 3 days ago with the free trial and I was wondering if the lv 50 part means I can’t go above 50 on any class or I lose the trial after 50

heavy wadi
#

it's level 60

#

and it means you can't level past it or progress the story past patch 3.56

fleet steppe
#

Yeah so you can basically get up to the start of stormblood but you can't actually start it

umbral dune
#

you continue to gain exp as long as you below level cap

boreal storm
#

It’s the sameish restriction as not owning any expansions

leaden ginkgo
#

idk how to word this.. daily reset is in 15 min, so I play a duty roulette right now, what if the daily reset happens while im in the middle of dungeon? would I still be able to do duty roulette again to get the bonus exp that we get after daily reset?

heavy wadi
#

nope

#

and reset isn't in 15 mins

chilly wave
#

Ahh I see, when I bit the actual game and membership do I get every expansion or one at a time

heavy wadi

it's in an hour and 15

I expected the story to have a linear pacing but I meant if I can get a bundle of expansions or do I have to buy them individually

boreal storm
#

Expansions come together

heavy wadi
#

if you buy the latest one you get all of the previous ones

fleet steppe
heavy wadi
#

in the case of endwalker, you'll get the previous expacs when endwalker releases on the 3rd of dec if you preorder

fleet steppe
#

imagine EW delayed again kekw

chilly wave
#

Ohhh that’s nice, preordering endbringer counts then right or is it the one before which o don’t remember what it’s called, blood something?

fleet steppe
#

yoshi-p gonna have a mental breakdown on stream this time

chilly wave
#

Oh I just saw your message I typed too slow

umbral dune
#

it kind of like later expansion unlock the highest level so without ownership of the content between, you can NOT reach there

fleet steppe
#

endbringer hehe

#

shadowblood and stormwalker

chilly wave
#

Alright so when my trial ends early ish December I’ll get endwalker

#

Thanks guys

heavy wadi
#

trial doesn't have a time limit

#

fyi

fleet steppe
#

yep can go on forever

boreal storm
#

Trials don’t end until you make it

chilly wave
#

I thought it was 30 days only

open coral
#

No

heavy wadi
#

nope

#

it "ends" when you hit level 60

#

there is no time limit

fleet steppe
#

no that's the old trial, they changed it last year

open coral
#

30 days is the free time you get for registering the Starter Edition to your account before you have to start paying a sub.

fleet steppe
#

the purchase of the base game gives you a free month of premium subscription

chilly wave
#

One last thing, if I preorder endwalker right now, do I get the other dlc’s now or when endwalker comes out

open coral
#

Only when EW releases.

chilly wave
#

I see

heavy wadi
open coral
#

You'll have no loss if you choose to simply play the free trial until after the expansion releases, then purchase the Complete Edition or Starter Edition + Endwalker.

#

If you were to do the latter option now, you would only have access to the first 60 levels of content (like the free trial, but without the account restrictions) until December.

#

And if you were to do the former, you'd still have to buy Endwalker at some point.

@open coral i didn't farm the class levels though, ive literally only been doing what the mqs has been asking me to and the class quests

open coral
#

Yeah. Like I said, it's very easy to outlevel the MSQ.

#

You'll catch up levels pretty quickly though. The ARR MSQ has some weird level skips coming up for you.

distant jay
#

games acting like thats my fault

#

thats good then

#

is that why its constantly been restricting my level and stopping me from using my skills?

open coral
#

There's one point where the MSQ level goes from like, 44 to 46. Then you have like, two quests that are 49 before needing to be 50.

#

Level sync is a function of instances.

#

So yes.

distant jay
#

how do i check msq level?

open coral
#

You can see the quest level by looking in your Journal.

distant jay
#

alright, it says the one im doing is lvl 36

#

fuckkkkk

open coral
#

Yeah.

distant jay
#

I JUST WANNA FLY MY CHICKEN

open coral
#

#soon

distant jay
#

so i get the flying at msq level 50?

open coral
#

You get flying for ARR zones after completing "The Ultimate Weapon" msq

#

Subsequent expansions, you unlock flying by zone by attuning to aether currents within those zones - 1 attached to the final msq for the zone, 4 attached to bluequest, and 10 that appear as green balls of wind aether on the map.

#

So in theory once you finish the MSQ for each zone, you can fly there.

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

im about to slam my head into my keyboard

Ever played WoW?

There used to not even be flight in arr

distant jay
# open coral Ever played WoW?

I played for a little bit, all i remember is unlocking/buying the pegasus or something and getting to fly straight away, forgot what lvl tho

open coral
#

Lol what no.

distant jay
#

memory is a bit foggy

open coral
#

WoW you had to jump through WAY more hoops to get flying.

#

And it wasn't available on launch.

twilit arch
#

well later expacs you did

#

either way though, ARR was not designed with flying in mind so they just hand it to you

#

also was added later

distant jay
#

i played wow like 6 months ago

twilit arch
#

expansions require you to do a little more work

distant jay
#

so it was probably easier for me

twilit arch
#

but its not that much effort

#

its at worst like 10-15mins of work

heavy wadi
#

just need to be patient mate

open coral
#

Flying in XIV is much easier to get.

warm snow
#

Not counting areas that are split by msq

twilit arch
#

and there are plenty of guides out there that gives you the locations and names of the quest you have to do to get it

distant jay
#

i know its not hard but it sounds kinda tedious

open coral
#

Everything is locked by the MSQ

warm snow
#

Nothing worth doing is easy

open coral
#

You want to do something, but can't? The answer is almost always going to be "do your MSQ"

distant jay
#

it sounds like ill be done with most of the shit in arr before i get to fly

open coral
#

Yes

#

You will be.

twilit arch
#

You've got post ARR to deal with

warm snow
#

You'll have allllll the post arr content

twilit arch
#

so...you're going to make use of the flying

distant jay
#

is post arr the expansions?

open coral
#

But yeah, flying makes the 80 post-ARR quests SO much less tedious.

warm snow
#

About 80 msq quests to do

open coral
#

No, post-ARR refers to the content released in the two years between ARR and Heavensward

warm snow
#

So this is all the arr patches before you get to hw

distant jay
#

oh thats good then

warm snow
#

Ultimate weapon is just the end of base arr

open coral
#

Post-ARR is somewhat notorious for being extremely tedious, since the game was still pretty new then, and they didn't really have a good format.

#

Subsequent expansions' post-expansion content is... less tedious.

warm snow
#

Since you came here from wow:

The game doesn't start once you hit level cap, the game has already begun

open coral
#

And post-ARR actually used to be a lot worse.

distant jay
#

Bro, I can't wait to get to heavensword since I've heard its way better

warm snow
#

Heavensward

#

Not sword

#

Common mistake

distant jay
#

shit, ive been saying it wrong the entire time

open coral
#

Heavensward is definitely a very good expansion. For the story

#

This game is all about the story.

warm snow
#

Final fantasy game first mmo second

This is the fundamental design of this game

sleek needle
#

Gameplay is pretty lackluster before lv 50 too

distant jay
#

as long as i dont have to teleport as frequently

open coral
#

...

distant jay
#

i like the story tho

#

its just a bit bland rn

open coral
#

Yeah. ARR is a lot of character setups and world building.

warm snow
#

Arr is more setup than anything else

#

We're still getting payoffs in patch 5.55

#

The final patch before endwalker

open coral
#

The expansions then have the established world to work off of.

distant jay
#

so Arr then smooth sailing from there?

open coral
#

And yeah, there's a lot of things that were set up way back in 2.0 that are only now coming to fruiting. It's great.

#

Stormblood can be a bit hit-or-miss, but yes.

distant jay
#

why is it hit or miss?

warm snow
open coral
#

SB has some weird pacing and zone design.

warm snow
distant jay
#

thats what she said

warm snow
#

That and heavensward and shadowbringers are amazinng

#

So it's a bit of an awkward middle child

open coral
#

The story sort of jumps from one major plot setup to another very early on, then doesn't go back to the initial plot until almost the end of 4.0.

#

And two of the zones are absolutely terrible to go through without flying because of their terrain.

thorny grove
#

Are queues still active in hw and beyond btw?

open coral
#

Yes

distant jay
#

will i need to do msq in heavensward to unlock flying zones?

open coral
#

Yes

distant jay
#

I'm going to go off and cry now

thorny grove
#

Only in arr and queues haven't been too bad but i've been wondering if it eventually slows down the farther i go

open coral
#

The final aether current for each zone in HW onwards is tied to the MSQ for that zone.

warm snow
distant jay
#

im not built for the MMO life

warm snow
#

This is fucking weenie hut Jr. Compared to some of the shit in wow

distant jay
#

was about to say that it feels like ff14 is being much nicer with this

open coral
#

There's only a few things attached to side content that tend to have longer or non-existent queues.

warm snow
twilit arch
#

as i said, unlocking flying in expansion zones are at worst 10-15mins of work

#

it doesn't ask much of you

distant jay
#

oh thats good

open coral
#

Most of the unlock you can do as you do the MSQ, because the currents are near quest objectives.

twilit arch
#

and there are plenty of guides that lay out the location and quest names for you

warm snow
#

You'll see what we mean when you get there

distant jay
#

how much of the msq and post msq will be left after you unlock flying for heavensward

open coral
#

Heavensward is a by-zone unlock for flight, so... most of it.

twilit arch
#

Expansion flying is per zone basis

warm snow
#

You can have flight unlocked in every zone before you finish base heavensward

#

And this is the same in every expansion

distant jay
#

so its pretty much, "do a few quests in this zone, go to another zone, do some quests here and rinse and repeat until every zone has flying"?

open coral
#

No

#

It's "do all the MSQ for this zone, now you can fly here."

distant jay
#

same difference

warm snow
#

Explore the zone with something that points you at some specific landmarks, finish msq in the zone, do like 3 side quests in the zonr

twilit arch
#

each expansion zone (barring 1) has 10 open world aether currents and 5 quest currents

#

one of which will be msq

#

generally the last msq for that zone

distant jay
#

hopefully im too entranced by the story to care

open coral
#

It really is good story.

distant jay
#

well it is final fantasy

open coral
#

And you'll figure out shortcuts without flying pretty quickly.

distant jay
#

thats good then

#

still gonna cry tho

open coral
#

I'd say "don't cry" but... well... the story will make you cry.

#

Fair warning: if you love a character, don't.

distant jay
#

im happy about that

brave dawn
#

how do I unlock the chat window? I locked it somehow but now I want to make it smaller again NotLikeThis

open coral
#

There should be a little lock icon on it somewhere, I think.

magic sierra
#

i missed the crystal tower while leveling through the game. But it seems like it's a big deal to the shadowbringers story.

does anyone know of a video that'll give me a summary of its lore?

open coral
#

It's required content.

magic sierra
#

hey thats what i did lol

magic sierra
#

I played, quit and am now planning on coming back

open coral
#

In that case, I'd recommend going back and unlocking it.

#

Because the reason it's important isn't just the lore.

#

It has to do with the entire questline.

magic sierra
#

hmmm

zinc bramble
#

Plus you get a new roulette to do

magic sierra
#

will i be stuck with only level 50 abilities again when I do?

open coral
#

YEs

magic sierra
#

ARR felt so bad to play through

open coral
#

It's synced

magic sierra
#

ugh alright ill do it for the lore

open coral
#

It's honestly not that bad.

#

When was the last time you played?

#

And what class?

magic sierra
#

about a year and a half ago now I think... I got near the end of base shadowbringers.

i have an AST and DRK at level 80

open coral
#

Both of those classes are pretty decent at 50.

zinc bramble
#

The total time you will be synced will be like an hour (only in the instances).

open coral
magic sierra
#

okay great, I'm thinking of resubbing today to finish 5.1- wherever it ended but after I do that I'll want to try and unlock and experience other content before the xpac lands.

trying to map it all out before i start the sub timer.

#

thanks for the help!

vernal brook
#

May not be the right chat to ask but here goes. Kind of a long shot but I'm looking for the soundtrack name that I hear often Stormblood and Shadowbringers at least. It is often used in the dramatic MSQ cutscenes where there is no spoken dialogue just reading text. The song is driven by large orchestra kettle drums or Timpani I think. Boom-BA-BA-Ba-Boom throught the whole song. Any guesses?

open coral
#

Do you have an example of a cutscene where it plays?

magic sierra
vernal brook
#

I don't remember any specific ones. It is used alot in MSQ. Can I browse all of the cutscenes if I go to my room at an inn?

open coral
#

You can browse most cutscenes, yes.

vernal brook
#

OK. I'll try that. Thanks. Once I find the scene, can I look up the song somewhere?

open coral
#

Maybe, but you could also post the name of the quest and the scene here, and we can hear the song you're looking for.

#

Because "Boom-BA-BA-Ba-Boom" is pretty nondescript.

vernal brook
open coral
#

I can think of at least a dozen bgm tracks that have that or a similar rhythm at some point.

#

So I'd need to hear exactly what you're looking for.

umbral dune
#

top right, the yellow triangle

open coral
#

Have you tried resizing it in the HUD editor @brave dawn ?

#

They're saying they can't do that, Imperator

#

That's the problem.

brave dawn
#

you can't resize the chat in the HUD editor, it's not there

open coral
#

Hmm

umbral dune
#

when you hover the mouse over that spot, do it even change to resize icon?

brave dawn
#

it turns into a double arrow, but I can't move it

patent frigate
#

Who is the guy in the ff trailers

patent citrus
#

Hiroshi is the name of the person

patent frigate
#

the generic looking adventurer

patent citrus
#

He's a male Hyur

boreal storm
#

D-lander

patent frigate
#

Oh so he's an actual character in game?

boreal storm
#

no

patent citrus
#

English community called him Derplander

#

In-game you see the similiar character called Ardbert

patent frigate
#

Then is he supposed to be like the main character represention or... ?

patent citrus
#

yeah

patent frigate
#

Yeah I thought so

patent citrus
#

He is the official "Warrior of Light"

patent frigate
#

So he would be like the main character if the game was single player

modest igloo
#

I mean you are

#

And he is

patent frigate
#

I meant if it wasn't done in an mmo fashion

boreal storm
#

It's a player stand in, nothing more to think about

patent frigate
#

Tru true

patent citrus
#

yeah He symbolise our character 😁

haughty spade
#

What's the macro to quick cast and revive target?

#

How do u set up

spring stream
#

If you make a character on a preferred world you have a 90 day timer that you cant transfer to another, right? Does this timer still exist once it turns standard?

boreal storm
#

yes

spring stream
#

Alright

echo jungle
#

heya guys

#

I just need help setting my crafter path

#

I'm currently prioritizing ALC and CUL but I don't know which DoH should I go for next after that.

boreal storm
#

patent citrus
#

echo jungle
#

I mean, i did CUL first but the issue was i had to level up my ALC to get certain ingredients

#

so it stemmed from ALC

boreal storm
#

And that's why they're leveled together

zinc bramble
#

Yeah, that is why it can be nice to do all at the same time. Also, they share gear.

umbral dune
#

then for the rest, level them all at the same time

echo jungle
#

ohhh

#

so it doesnt matter if I level any certain job since I've already got my ALC and CUL up. I just have to do it all at the same time

#

Got it

#

Thank you! 😄

#

BSM will make your doh/dol weapons

#

and GSM will make your doh/dol accessories

umbral dune
#

the first 15 levels, receipt can be done independently, but you will soon see the cross-section, so bring them to like 20 at once then trying to keep each other at 5 level max in between

patent citrus
#

I'm not sure if ARM make anything for your DOH/DOL, probably will have more effect on DOM/DOW jobs

umbral dune
#

at least BSM/ARM share the majority of ingredient, double the amount and level them both

patent citrus
#

ah you are right

warped thistle
#

I was doing cutters cry but whenever the "The Chimera's eyes glow blue" etc text popped up on the middle of the screen I never noticed it, is there anyway to make that pop up text larger?

queen fern
#

Not that I know of, but it also shows up in the chat box.

#

The chimera's eyes also literally glow.

warped thistle
#

I only noticed it being a problem when im playing healer cuz im mostly just looking at healthbars

faint flare
#

You can't edit that type of pop up in any way

eager fog
#

can i wear 2 edenmete rings?

faint flare
#

No cause they're unique

patent frigate
#

So I've hit a striking dummy and its still aggro'd into me how do I.... stop that

faint flare
#

Right click hp bar > reset aggro

fleet steppe
#

Right click its hp bar, there should be an option to reset striking dummy aggro

patent frigate
#

Oh yeah found it thanks

umbral dune
haughty spade
#

What button is it on controller to target the targets target?

patent citrus
#

I think the original location is far away to the left/right edge of the screen

#

put the enemy debuff also closer to the party list so you can track your dot duration

warped thistle
#

ill try that! ty

dusty shard
#

i defeated diabolos, why didn't my skyfire book registered

#

did I do something wrong

patent citrus
#

need to equip the weapon

#

when you done it

#

you can't wear other weapon than your relic

dusty shard
#

i did tho

#

i equipped it the entire time

#

what the hell man, tis is bullcrap

patent citrus
#

ah

#

you were dead probably

#

when the boss is killed

#

then it doesn't count

dusty shard
#

......

patent citrus
#

diabolos is sprout killer, if you don't do the mechanic

dusty shard
#

i hate you SE

patent citrus
#

just do it undersized, it's easy

#

no need to queue normally

dusty shard
#

lvl 60, i can't pass the 1st boss

upper pendant
#

is it possible for a plot's claim time to pass without anyone buying the plot? meaning u cant buy it until it devalues??

patent citrus
#

ahhh

upper pendant
#

and starts over again

patent citrus
#

yeh, just do the mech properly then hope your party member doesn't kill you

faint flare
#

It opens randomly in a very large time window

#

And remains buyable when that Timer runs out until someone gets it

upper pendant
#

cos this plot has 20 mins left

faint flare
#

That's devaluation

upper pendant
#

does it just keep going until it pops?

faint flare
#

It has nothing to do with it

#

When that Timer hits 0. The price goes down and the timer starts again

#

It's not related in anyway

upper pendant
