questions-and-help

[lone totem]

depends on you as a person

if you are talking about savage raiding, most people focus on one job

[open coral]

Some people prefer to main a specific class or role. Others are more flexible.

[lone totem]

and get really good at it

[lilac nacelle]

Jack of all trades

[lone totem]

but some people can do multiple jobs

[open coral]

Usually even the flex players will only level one of each role at most.

[lilac nacelle]

well, doing the same type of job, like melee dps, is probably not as much of an issue

[open coral]

So they can flex to whatever a group needs.

[lone totem]

diverting attention to other jobs for savage raiding, especially if you are still learning the raid, can be extremely detrimental

[halcyon radish]

What should buy with poetics to exchange for crystal sand for HW relic?

[lilac nacelle]

I got WHM, SAM and GNB at 80 and levelling the rest right now

Well, I'm not really into savage raids anyway right now

never did one

[lone totem]

for everything non-savage, you can do whatever you want

it doesn't really matter

as you most likely won't be in a static group and prepared to play the role you joined as

[lilac nacelle]

so me having dedicated hotbars for job switching is something those main-job-type people wouldn't need 😄

[lone totem]

and will be pairing up with randoms, and pairing up for content that was intended to be cleared easily

[modest igloo]

When mechanics start to get difficult you don’t have the time to think about rotations

[halcyon radish]

i've just got one cus I was only levelling one of each and a couple more random ones.

[faint flare]

By the time you get to savage your rotation should be muscle memory already

[lilac nacelle]

yeah, I understand that. I suppose there are also many people who aren't as interested in the high level things like me

[lone totem]

swapping jobs freely is a core mechanic in the game, leveling them all and playing them all is something you can do

there is nothing wrong with it

I have every job at 80 and play them comfortably

but if I am doing a savage raid, I play a job I am confident enough in to clear it/farm it

otherwise I join a learning party despite clearing it already

[lilac nacelle]

tbh, if you switch around between jobs a lot, muscle memory doesn't build up as much

[modest igloo]

Hence why people main jobs

[faint flare]

For your main it should

[lone totem]

bingo

[lilac nacelle]

yep, don't have that right now. Closest to that would probably either be gunbreaker or samurai

[modest igloo]

Savage raid mechanics also change for each role

[faint flare]

I've done smn so much I can not touch it for months and still remember my exact GCDs I do for TEA

[lone totem]

I've been playing the game forever and I still haven't decided on the melee dps job for me

and by forever I mean since like 2.1

so... don't expect to suddenly know the job you want to play and main

I picked up paladin because my group needed it and I had it leveled

and then I stuck with it since

I had no intention on ever raiding as a tank and had no experience

[faint flare]

Just know the basics of your job

[lilac nacelle]

the only ones I don't quite like are magic dps

[lone totem]

and now I do savage raiding as paladin

and it's enjoyable

[lilac nacelle]

especially BLM

[lone totem]

who knows, maybe you'll end up as a pro BLM

down the line

[faint flare]

If you know the basics of the job you're already better than most

[lone totem]

the job might just click with you even though you doubted you would like it

that's why I always recommend people to play every job in the game

leveling them all is just entry-level, actually investing in the job to play is much different

time consuming sure, and some people find the job they like the most almost immediately

but I was not the case, and probably there are others who took a while to find a job that clicked with them

[gentle snow]

I was wondering if anyone knew what the gloves and boots are on this outfit? They work with the jacket really well

[narrow jay]

Those look like Kirimu gloves and Shire boots

[twilit arch]

those are y'shtola's boots

[narrow jay]

also those

[twilit arch]

her moddish attire outfit

[visual knoll]

can free trial players use the friend code?

[twilit arch]

no, you need to upgrade to full game to make use of a RAF code

[fallen niche]

So what's the deal with Ovni? I know he makes BA portals but how does he spawn?

[winter coral]

If I preorder endwalker will I get shadowbringers now or when endwalkers releases?

[twilit arch]

when endwalker releases

[winter coral]

ah right

so if I was to buy shadowbringers now id just be losing £30 basically

I take it endwalker on steam includes shadowbringers

[open coral]

It will, yes.

[winter coral]

cool thanks

[visual knoll]

is there likely to be a black friday sale on the preoder for endwalker?

[open coral]

No

New expansions never go on sale before they're released.

[leaden ginkgo]

That's just bad juju

[native inlet]

Will Male Vieras be available on Early Release? (Was this the case as well with Female Vieras for Shadowbringers?)

[open coral]

Yes

[lone totem]

I mean it's a kick in the face to people who paid full price for something they haven't even gotten yet

[native inlet]

+w+ sweeeeeeeeet

[little swift]

Prime your fantasia before the patch so you can swap right away if you need to

[jade quartz]

Early Access is for all intents and purposes the full release of the game.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh yeah because pretty sure the item service will be congested

[jade quartz]

It's when the expansion goes live for all players.

All content will be there.

It's only called Early Access for marketing / retail licensing reasons, and to give themselves a bit of lenience if there are server issues or something.

[craggy tinsel]

What's the three-letter shortening of Reaper?

[boreal storm]

Probably RPR

[craggy tinsel]

I figured, but I wasn't sure, so I figured I'd ask

[boreal storm]

Not sure if we’ve seen them yet

[obsidian patio]

It’s RPR

Shown off in the media tour build

Same with Sage being SGE

[patent citrus]

so just to confirm since Crystal is turned to standard server on 26 Oct, the buff will expire 90 days after 26 Oct right?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[obsidian patio]

Assuming the worlds don’t become preferred again

[twilit arch]

that's assuming you made your character on the 26th

the 90days are from your character's creation date

[round arch]

guys, the last nier raid. what do i have to do with these small rings around me at the last boss ?

[fading aurora]

are there any bottoms like the spring ones u can buy on mogstation?

[open coral]

Small rings?

Oh, the black/white?

[round arch]

yes

[open coral]

Face the matching color to the rings coming down from above in the middle.

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm not sure, I don't think so but why not just use the spring bottoms?

[fading aurora]

im too lazy to get them

[leaden ginkgo]

Fair enough

[round arch]

so, if a white ring comes down i have to face the white side of the ring to it ?

[open coral]

Yep

And if a black ring comes down, face black towards it

[round arch]

ty. what if a players is in between ?

[open coral]

Doesn't matter.

[round arch]

or is that no problem

ok. thx!

[open coral]

It's not a direct effect, it's raidwide. Everyone gets the same color at the same time.

[round arch]

at the red lady there are black and white "thingys" at the edge of the arena, how do i know which one shoots ?

[fading aurora]

@leaden ginkgospriggan seems the closest ive found its just that it has the socks

and they look ugly

[round arch]

or am i stupid and do they have all the same color

[leaden ginkgo]

It do be like that

[open coral]

It's a similar mechanic - there's a line coming out from them. If the line encounters a wall of the same color, it will stop, so you hide behind the walls that will block them.

[round arch]

oh ok. white line, hide behind white blocks

tyvm!

[open coral]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

Are you sure you don't want to just get the spring bottoms? It's 8k gil from the vendor next to the fashion report

[round arch]

sorry for all these questions 😄

[open coral]

We're here to answer questions like that 😄

[fading aurora]

its not the money problem i dont have the requiered points, im too lazy to go to the person everyday lmao

[twilit arch]

you don't have to go everyday...

[leaden ginkgo]

It's not everyday

Once a week

[twilit arch]

its weekly

[round arch]

ok then i have a last one, how do i know where the "house" comes up (i don`t remember the name of the boss)

[open coral]

House?

[fading aurora]

also u cant check how many points u have right?

[round arch]

looks like a big block rather sorry

[open coral]

For which number boss?

[leaden ginkgo]

Also there's a fashion report posted here every friday

[twilit arch]

it takes between 6-8 weeks, depending on whether you're doing 100pts or 80pts

[leaden ginkgo]

Less

[fading aurora]

i used to do it before i left ffxiv

[twilit arch]

bottoms are 600pts

[leaden ginkgo]

Spring bottoms cost 300 points. That's 3 100 points

[fading aurora]

but can check now?

[twilit arch]

there's no way to check ingame exactly how many points you have

[leaden ginkgo]

Just check and see

[fading aurora]

im sure i have more than 300 and dont see it

[twilit arch]

just have to check kasumi and see what she has available

[fading aurora]

ive done tons of fashions

[twilit arch]

They're 600pts

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm

I have more than 600 pts?

[twilit arch]

shirt is 300

[scarlet venture]

Is there a way to lock gear so you dont turn it in to GC?

[fading aurora]

ima do this weeks one see if i get enough points

[open coral]

On the dropdown you can hide gear set items.

[leaden ginkgo]

How many did you do that you still don't have it unlocked?

[open coral]

But that's as good as it gets.

[scarlet venture]

Thanks

[fading aurora]

i did quiet a few for angel wings

dont remember how many

[round arch]

oof i can`t remember her name. the one with the trains. there are "buildings" coming from above (or below)

[unkempt hinge]

/micon "Holmgang"
/ac " Holmgang"
/p Holmgang Please assist.

it says : “ Holmgang” is not a valid action name.
There are no party members. help pls D:

[twilit arch]

the buildings come from below on the final boss

so look down

[open coral]

Ah, so for the SE building being thrown at you (from below), you have to watch for the gray shaded area on the ground, but the floor is transparent.

For the towers from the corners, look for the big blue circle.

[twilit arch]

delete the huge space in the ac line @unkempt hinge

also doesn't need quotes because its one word

[unkempt hinge]

oh in the huge space there's an "=" idk why it didn't paste here

[round arch]

thx

[twilit arch]

well either way that's the problem

[unkempt hinge]

aryt thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah it should be just /ac "Holmgang"

[fading aurora]

whats command for fashion again

i forgot

[honest egret]

Is pixie tribe better than Bozja?

[open coral]

No?

Beast tribes are capped daily

Bozja is not.

[leaden ginkgo]

Just fr

[honest egret]

Oh

I never done beast tribes before

[proud sigil]

Gysahi greens where can we get it

[leaden ginkgo]

You have 12 daily allowance and 3 quests daily

[open coral]

You can do 3 beast tribe quests per tribe every day, or six if you rank up to a maximum of 12 total daily.

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you mean Gyshal?

[open coral]

Any general goods vendor. The one in Bentbranch Meadows is the easiest to remember.

[honest egret]

Should I still do beast tribe pixie?

[open coral]

Sure, it's a good chunk of xp

Worth about 1/3 of a level

For about 5 minutes of work.

[leaden ginkgo]

Also unlocks special rewards like materias and mounts

Err just a mount

[open coral]

And a minion, some housing items, an orchestrion scroll.

[leaden ginkgo]

And best case an emote

[open coral]

Pixies don't have an emote

[leaden ginkgo]

Well they don't but other tribes do

[obsidian patio]

!faq companion

[zinc orbit]

How do I make my chocobo fight?

You can unlock the ability to have your chocobo also be an overworld party member and fight alongside you when you reach level 30 and have completed the quest My Feisty Little Chocobo . As the tutorial states, you do need to feed your bird gysahl greens in order to summon them. Click here for a list of npcs that sell them.

What trees do spec into for my chocobo?
The typically recommended chocobo skill point allocation is to get 4 ranks into the healing tree for choco cure, followed by maxing out the DPS tree. The tank tree does not allow your chicken to gain enough enmity to surpass your own output, so its shelved for last. You can eventually max out every tree, though to level your chocobo past rank 10 you will need Thavnairian Onions

[proud sigil]

Thank you

[barren turtle]

How long does it take to get a new character to appear on the lodestone? I'm trying to get my new alt up

[obsidian patio]

Usually a couple hours or so

[peak crag]

I'm trying to figure out basic GNB since I'm starting it, anyone got suggestions for an organised hotbar

cuz currently it's default and my brain is combusting trying to understand it

[pure zenith]

the hot bar rule I use that works p universally for all the jobs for me is
1-5,shift+ctrl are single targets
q,e,r,shit+ctrl are aoe
f,x,c,v,shift+ctrl are role actions+buff oriented cooldowns
but thats just what I use

[open coral]

I would recommend removing everything from your hotbars, then putting them back one by one while reading the tooltips to see what they do and how they combo

[peak crag]

that would help actually yeah, I think I just see so much information to take in and my mind sort of stalls

[wispy copper]

can players on different worlds play together?

[barren turtle]

yes

[open coral]

Yes, provided they're on the same datacenter (for now)

[snow surge]

Can I get one of these as a minion

[open coral]

Yes

[snow surge]

Thank goodness

[open coral]

From a iirc

[snow surge]

Do you know its name

I can wiki it from there

[pure zenith]

its an msq reward

[pure zenith]

just keep doing msq youll eventually get it

[pure zenith]

https://ffxivcollect.com/minions/181

[peak crag]

oh also, tangential question, how do you assign keybinds to a new hotbar, like if I wanted to bind bar 3 to shift + [number]

[pure zenith]

lower right corner button that looks like xiv -> keybinds

[fading aurora]

u now have to remove acc to use fantasia?

lame

[snow surge]

Oh that's good to know ,thanks

[barren turtle]

what?

[peak crag]

tyty

[barren turtle]

You've always needed to remove accessories for fantasia

[fading aurora]

no?

never done it before

and im a fantasia addict

[pure zenith]

also heres the set up I made for my gnb when I got him

[peak crag]

thanks, I'm gonna experiment with abilities and see if I can make my own, otherwise this'll be a good fallback

[topaz furnace]

Hey, just askin, regarding pagos, should I try to level up to level 34 mobs even if im just 30? or should I just spam 30 mobs?

[honest anvil]

join a party if you vs +4 level mobs …

[topaz furnace]

Oh got it! Thank you!

[barren turtle]

depends, if you have fates to do, do them instead

without a party its not worth doing random mobs imo (unless its your Challenge Log)

[honest anvil]

either way, vs higher level mobs solo either will take too long to be worth it or you’ll just <pos> <resurrection> <if you would be so kind> constantly

[topaz furnace]

Will do, thank you for the tip!

[mortal forge]

hello, do the shops in Revenant's toll sell more than just lvl 50 items? (allagan tomestome exchanges)

[pure zenith]

they sell some minions and orchestrations

but the higher level gear will usually be from tomestone traders in later areas of each expansion

[mortal forge]

ah ok ok, thanks

[mossy field]

is it possible to write a macro that chooses either Eos or Selene at random when summoning your SCH faerie?

[warm snow]

No

[mossy field]

that is lame

what about a macro that changes the summon Eos button on the hotbar to a summon Selene button for next time. and vice versa. So every second summon is different?

[boreal storm]

They’re identical dude, just pick one

[mossy field]

variety is the spice of life

[slate arrow]

Macros aren't designed to be smart my dude

[river vortex]

are the lvl 80 job quests worth doing?

[urban isle]

Is it possible to wall to wall as a lv 80 sch without using a single gcd heal? Sometimes i still find myself having to art of war + recitation + swift and then adlo which is just 1 gcd heal i guess but i was wondering if i could just rely on ogcds alone since sch has so many of them

[warm snow]

Free materia and an end to your job story

[honest anvil]

very possible :3

[river vortex]

it ends it?

[warm snow]

No job quests in endwalker

[river vortex]

Oh

[pure zenith]

its closure to the storyline basically

[river vortex]

i thought it would just be 1 per job per patch

[warm snow]

Drk and sch have a lot of finality

[silver ruin]

yes

[slate arrow]

The job quests kinda have been stretching on for too long now and it's a problem for some of them

Better to make a few high quality ones instead of a ton of varying quality

[warm snow]

I.e. Role quests

Gnb's level 80 is pretty much the most nothing job quest I've seen

[honest anvil]

oh Endwalker wont even have any visit your homies quest?

[warm snow]

That said reaper and sage are almost definitely gonna have a 71-80 quest line

[near path]

Are fish I put on canvas just for decoration?

[silver ruin]

no, they'll have role quests

but thats it

[honest anvil]

they are ded to you?

[silver ruin]

yes

[slate arrow]

they might have a comment or two

But yes no quests

except for reaper and sage

[warm snow]

They've said they'll be working the job quest npcs into other stuff

Nothing concrete is known

A lala from the Sam job quests is in the launch trailer of endwalker for example

[honest anvil]

less work to rework job quest flavor when future reworks hit then

though ShB already did that so nvm

[slate arrow]

Thankfully we won't be seeing major system revamps again so hopefully those won't be happening in the future

[warm snow]

New smn is the only time that's happened but yes this'll make that stuff easier

[river vortex]

well, theres the odd stuff here and there like the quest bout nocturnal sect

[umbral dune]

in some ARR guide video, I still see the tp: 1000, mp like 4k, when that thing gone away?

[rugged flicker]

How different a job is warrior from gunbreaker?

[twilit arch]

TP removal and MP standardized to 10k was with shadowbringers

[hasty musk]

WAR and GNB have different rotation paces entirely

[rugged flicker]

Because I'm thinking of buying a tales of adventure for one of my alts so she can go more places, and the class that fits her best is warrior. I don't intend to ever use her to do any content, but there's always the chance...

And I've never done warrior.

[hasty musk]

WAR has significantly less unique damage buttons

[rugged flicker]

Yeah, Gunbreaker was pretty easy to transition into from DPS, I noticed.

[hasty musk]

and has greater survivability on its own due to better self-heal capability, generally speaking

[rugged flicker]

Which is why it's going to be the job I'll use to pick up extra exp while doing all the side quests in addition to my main.

Oh wait nevermind.

Actually that's going to be red mage.

Because that's the job I like playing as the least.

So the more exp I can get for it without actually having to play it, the better. :x

[rustic badge]

Q. I hit trusted with all 4 ARR tribes and cannot advance further. Am I missing anything? Is there a next tier?

[twilit arch]

ARR combat tribes cap at trust

to go higher with them requires you to get to sworn with ixali as well, and then complete the allied tribe quest

[boreal storm]

Yeah there’s 5 tribes

[rustic badge]

Ixali?! oh man,..they are not even on my list,..lol

[white tapir]

there any reason to have 2 healers in your squadron? Or you only really need 1?

[rustic badge]

gotta go find them now,..thanks

[boreal storm]

Hope you like crafting

[rugged flicker]

Well I got some potentially bad new for ya...

You gotta level a crafting class to do 'em.

[rustic badge]

to do Ixali?

[twilit arch]

yes

[rugged flicker]

Yep

[twilit arch]

ixali are a crafter tribe

[junior walrus]

Can I solo lvl50 ex content as a astrologian or is there a specific class I should using to do that

[viscid nexus]

Does road to 70 fall off even when DoH/DoL classes reach 70?

[boreal storm]

But they’re also great for leveling crafters, so it works out

[rustic badge]

I only have a leatherworker to level 30,..heh,...but I have all 3 gatherers in the 70's!

[honest anvil]

they have DoL quests too iirc, not many but 1 or 2?

[rugged flicker]

You're off to a good start then. This will help you get to 50 pretty easily.

[twilit arch]

really wouldn't say they ahve DoL quests tho

[rustic badge]

mm,...where to I start Ixali?

[twilit arch]

because while yes, a lv1 dol is required for 3 dailies they aren't the ones turning in the quest specifically

[rugged flicker]

Can't recall, just look for quests you haven't done in the Shroud. :x

[boreal storm]

Adder HQ iirc

[twilit arch]

ixali starts in gridania

near the adder HQ

[rustic badge]

thanks!

[empty hornet]

Hello! I thought I'd try out FF14 and I'm having a bit of a problem. My camera keeps pointing downwards, and I'd rather not play the entire game in top-down view. I think it might be related to my joystick, but none of the controls on the joystick stop it and it's really not feasible to unplug the thing whenever I want to play. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

[rugged flicker]

I think I know the issue

What kind of controller are you using?

[empty hornet]

I don't have a controller, I'm on m+kb controls with a thrustmaster t16000 joystick also plugged in

[rugged flicker]

Ah. yeah, just disconnect the joystick.

Guessing you don't plan on using it. This game would be very awkward to play with a joystick...

[empty hornet]

No, but I'd really rather not unplug it and plug it back in every time I play a different game. The plug isn't terribly easy to get at

:/

[rugged flicker]

Only solution I'm afraid. This game is very weird about certain controllers.

[boreal storm]

Just asking, Did you look at your camera control keybinds?

[rugged flicker]

I use an Xbox Series X controller and if I try to use Bluetooth the right analog stick drifts.

[empty hornet]

I did. I haven't changed any of them and they look sane to me

[rugged flicker]

Haven't been able to find a solution for it.

[empty hornet]

Is there no way to unbind the joystick from camera control?

I didn't see it listed in the keybinds

[pure zenith]

if your controller comes with a profile program like razer and stuff then maybe you can make a profile that just removes all bindings from that controller while playing ffxiv

[empty hornet]

Could be worth a try

[wispy copper]

how come the player search doesn't work?

[empty hornet]

Fixed it!

[hasty musk]

player search won't find people not on your server

[wispy copper]

I'm literally searching up someone's name that's next to me and it won't show me results

[empty hornet]

Turned enable gamepad off and now it's fine

[hasty musk]

or offline

are they /busy

[boreal storm]

Or in instances

[wispy copper]

they aren't busy no

I checked every single box and it still won't give me results

[distant jay]

Is the howling eye dungeon supposed to take 18 minutes to find a part for? Im queing up as a tank.

[hasty musk]

howling eye is a trial, not a dungeon

also it's like 2 am where you are so I doubt many people are doing roulettes at this time

so you're unlikely to find people

[ionic swallow]

alright so, if i buy this item 1. will i get a discount if i already finished arr 2. is stormblood shadowbringers

pls dont judge

[twilit arch]

no and no

it'll put you at the start of shadowbringers

[ionic swallow]

ok

so should i wait to buy it if i didnt buy shadowbringers because i bought endwalker

[silver ruin]

it might jump you to endwalker in the updated one but it wont be on sale

you'd be paying full price

[umbral dune]

backspace

[distant jay]

bro, Garuda thicc af

[silver ruin]

also if you arent at the right level, you still gotta grind dungeons to level

level boosts and story skips are 2 seperate things

[twilit arch]

no it won't

shadowbringer msq skip will be a different item

[boreal storm]

You need a lvl 70 to start ShB msq

[silver ruin]

er

yea mb badly phrased that

the old one wont be in

there will be a new one that will skip shb

[umbral dune]

tab by default is targeting, these only work when you press tab in chat

that was built-in auto translate, i dont think we can anyway modify or remove it

[regal pawn]

check this

make sure it's turned off

[umbral dune]

autofill is actually auto translate as well, cus it works with skill name

[twilit arch]

direct chat wouldn't stop auto translate from popping up when they hit tab while chat box is open

[regal pawn]

ah

[carmine shell]

what is the most optimal way to level characters after your first 80? would it be ng+ or something else?

[twilit arch]

ng+ doesnt give exp

!faq altlevelguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

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

[warped nest]

NG+ is just a way to replay the storyline

[analog folio]

have they done anything for free trials since the big lvl cap increase?

[carmine shell]

wow

[warped nest]

Nope

[analog folio]

ok

[umbral dune]

with the overcrowding, they have not limited the free trial creation is a blessing already

[warped nest]

Some speculate that Stormblood might be added to free trial

But there's no evidence supporting this

[umbral dune]

that might be when the next expansion launch at the earliest possible

[analog folio]

that would be cool

[warped nest]

Being able to play all contents up to lvl 60 is pretty generous

[analog folio]

cant join a fc or tell anyone though

[drifting atlas]

Is there a channel here to share media like youtube videos?

[umbral dune]

that is to prevent botting

[warped nest]

And those limitations don't really severely impact your gameplay experience

[umbral dune]

like free trial bot cant farm gil to wreck the whole server economy

[haughty spade]

How do you check the mount someone has

[analog folio]

not complaining just asked if any news on f2p stuff, any info on blue mage or new limited jobs?

[twilit arch]

no real way outside of sending them a tell, or looking at a site or asking here

they've not announced anything new in regards to the trial, blue mage or a new limited job.

[analog folio]

rip ok

[twilit arch]

teh trial is probably not going to get an update any time soon, blue would be after endwalker launch

[wispy copper]

will I be able to see players in other worlds in the player search?

[twilit arch]

no

player search is only on the world you are currently on

[wispy copper]

how'd I play with someone on another world then

[analog folio]

i like remade my account to be f2p so i didnt have to pay sub fee, no way to just downgrade yourself

[umbral dune]

world travel

[twilit arch]

either visit to their world, or have them visit to yours

you can do that by interacting with any of the aetheryte in one of the 3 starting cities

and selecting "visit another world"

[ripe hound]

Wait what?

[umbral dune]

but you already play with other world via duty finder

[twilit arch]

the free trial is not intended to be utilized like that

[warped nest]

Free trial is a mean to let new players try out the game before they decide if they want to commit

[ripe hound]

How do you plan to upgrade back to a paid account then?

[haughty spade]

Can you buy mounts from market board??

[twilit arch]

its for people to try the game

yes there are some mounts that can be bought from the marketboard

[warped nest]

It is not meant for convenient existing players

[analog folio]

you cant downgrade your account you have to make a whole new account

[haughty spade]

What category is it under because I don't ser a category for mounts

[twilit arch]

its under miscellaneous iirc

[honest anvil]

search “horn” or “key”

[twilit arch]

usually on like the last page or so

[boreal storm]

You’re buying the item that summons the mount

[heavy jewel]

Is this guy in the trailers acutally a character or does he just represent the "player"?

[warped nest]

B

[twilit arch]

player stand in

affectionately known as "derplander" by the community

[heavy jewel]

that dude

[warped nest]

Yeah, B

[twilit arch]

as said, he's the player stand in

[heavy jewel]

alright ty

[umbral dune]

since we play all jobs, they give that dude a specific job

[boreal storm]

The poster boy job for the expansion

[ionic swallow]

unpopular opinion wol is ugly (i mean the one from the trailer)

[warped nest]

There's a look alike character in game, but this dude featured in the trailer represents us

[heavy jewel]

hey now, don't call me ugly

[analog folio]

popular opinion ur ugly

[boreal storm]

I don’t know what your’s looks like but okay

[warped nest]

Don't need to be handsome to be a warrior of light

[ionic swallow]

ugly

sorry i meant the one from the trtailer

[thorn thicket]

@craggy tinsel Just to quickly go off of the question from last night: of those being tracked the rarest title is "The Luckiest of Lords/Ladies" for getting to the bottom of the Hidden Canals of Uznair 20 times, and I stand corrected, "Necromancer" is currently 34th rarest, between "Mahjong Master" (getting a score of 2000 in Doman Mahjong) and "Wings of Steel" (play 1000 Rival Wings matches).

[twilit arch]

he's just suppose to be generic white dude, das it

[ionic swallow]

yeah idk i just dont liek his haircut

[twilit arch]

ok cooll

[heavy jewel]

if i go sage or reaper am i even going to be able to get groups cause of all the duplicate jobs?

[twilit arch]

sure

[ionic swallow]

reaper looks fun to play i honestly cant wait for it to come out

[twilit arch]

not everyone is going to stick with sge/rpr as a main job

[warped nest]

Not everyone flock to the new job on week 1

Most will probably get to them much later

[ionic swallow]

yeah most people will stick to their mains bc its what theyre used to

reaper is going to be dps right? or is it tank

[warped nest]

Melee dps

[obsidian patio]

Shares gear with dragoon

[heavy jewel]

would it be a bad idea to look up story recap so I cant understand the story as i go through it wihout much effort?

[ionic swallow]

thank god i did nit want to play tank

[ionic swallow]

no not at all im soj@g that actually

[warped nest]

When KFC add a new item on their menu, customers will eventually give it a try, but they probably won't flock it on day 1

Same deal here

[craggy tinsel]

interesting, thank you!

[warped nest]

Players will be interested to see what's up with the new jobs, but they won't necessarily go "I want to play this shit day 1"

[ionic swallow]

or u bave some grumpy wow player and theyll try it and complain about it wont ditch their main class

[craggy tinsel]

and then there are some that I know will want to

[warped nest]

Why would it be a bad idea

[heavy jewel]

cause so many people say to avoid spoilers and read all the story yourself

[craggy tinsel]

two people in an old FC of mine planned to go into Zadnor day one on reaper and sage, but I think it's because they plan to main that for a static

[warped nest]

I played the game since 2014

Even I need a refresher

On what happened

[craggy tinsel]

if you want a story recap and want to avoid spoilers, easiest thing would be to go look at the things you've already seen

[heavy jewel]

i'm honestly burnt out on the story it made me quit for 2 months and i'm just coming back halfway in stormblood

[craggy tinsel]

Inside inn rooms there's a book you can interact with to watch cutscenes you've already seen - that alone might be plenty to help you out

[warped nest]

I can't remember what I had for dinner last Saturday, you are expecting me to remember who said what in HW in 2015?

[twilit arch]

There's a recap that's in the #archived-lore-spoilers pins if you wanna give it a read thru

[warped nest]

Alternatively, if you are caught up in msq, and just need a refresher on the over arching story

Plenty of video on YouTube

[twilit arch]

ultimately do what you feel is most fun for you

if skipping thru cutscenes and just focusing on the instances is that, then do that

[covert marlin]

Is the moogle trove event ending tmr?

[warped nest]

I just remembered what I had for dinner last Saturday

[regal pawn]

nah

[twilit arch]

can always come back and play thru ng+ if you really wanna go thru it yourself

[heavy jewel]

if you watched all the story cutscenes in this game would it make a good movie?

[regal pawn]

moogle trove is until EW maintenance

[warped nest]

Veggie soup

[regal pawn]

on the 2nd iirc

[twilit arch]

no, it ends with early access which is dec 3rd now @covert marlin

[covert marlin]

Thank you!

[regal pawn]

got extended

the sale on the game ended

[twilit arch]

the cutscenes are pretty decent on their own, yes

though you miss a bit of important information by skipping unvoiced cutscenes

[warped nest]

Watching cutscene movie on YouTube do have another cons

[twilit arch]

but bulk of information is in those voice cutscenes

[warped nest]

It is not your character

Might break immersion for some

[craggy tinsel]

unless you're a fantasiaholic and have no attachment to any specific appearance

[warped nest]

Alternative explanation: that was me before fantasia

[heavy jewel]

I mean i was just asking if the story is actually as good as people say it is, or if it's mainly just like 10% of the cutscenes that are actually that good?

[warped nest]

The cutscene are for key moments

[heavy jewel]

most of them for me so far have felt meh...

[craggy tinsel]

most of the important stuff comes from VA'd cutscenes

[warped nest]

But the build up from speech bubble only cutscene are just as important

[heavy jewel]

except stuff like luisaux fighting bahumat

[limber hound]

ARR is a really slow start

[craggy tinsel]

ARR did worldbuilding, and established all the nitty-gritty details at the start of the story... combine that with lesser budget from squeenix

[heavy jewel]

so i have to read the boring stuff to understand the good cutscenes?

[craggy tinsel]

It's not the most thrilling thing in the world but it has to present EVERYTHING from almost nothing to most of the playerbase, the sliver it doesn't fully apply to being 1.0 players or those that caught up on 1.0 cutscenes

not necessarily, no

[twilit arch]

like i said, the bulk of the information is going to be in the voice cutscenes so if you just wanna watch those. you'll get most of the story

[zealous mesa]

sorry if this has been asked but was the tome event also extended with the release?

[twilit arch]

Yes

[analog folio]

i personally couldnt get into the story due to no voice acting

[warped nest]

What kael said

[heavy jewel]

alright well ty i'll probably just do that then

[warped nest]

And in case you thought you missed something, just re-watch the last few non voiced cutscene again

[heavy jewel]

do they ever get into backstory for the main characters, i feel like no attachment to them without a backstory/character building?

[craggy tinsel]

alternatively, if you need help with summaries of things, I'm sure several people in #archived-lore-spoilers might be able to help you out

[obsidian patio]

Most of the deeper backstory comes from the side stories

If it’s not overly relevant to the story

[ionic swallow]

is it really worth following the story? and reading it?

[limber hound]

Depends on your priorities

[obsidian patio]

Yes, it’s a very good story overall

Stalls a bit here and there for the base game, but that’s mostly due to world building

[ionic swallow]

raiding and literally anyrhing to do with combat

[limber hound]

well

half the bosses are part of the story

iirc there's a story skipper that got blindsided by SoS

But if all you care about is gameplay I won't stop you

just don't complain about the story if you deliberately skip it

[ionic swallow]

ok

[lethal birch]

I enjoyed the game despite skipping ARR

Skipped through some of stb

Skimmed hw

Mostly read through shb?

[heavy jewel]

is story this games main attraction or is it more the duties/community?

[hasty musk]

both

[lethal birch]

The fights are fun and flashy, mechs can be interesting

[limber hound]

yes

[lethal birch]

This game has a bit of everything

You can focus on whatever you want to

[craggy tinsel]

This game is an RPGMMO more than an MMORPG - the game would be mostly the same if it was singleplayer vs if it was an mmo

(forget where I heard that, think it was a video comparing WoW and FF14)

[hasty musk]

not exactly true

[heavy jewel]

like if this story was rated on imdb what score would it average lol?

[lethal birch]

And replaying old campaigns in new game + is an option if you ever want to try out the storyline

[hasty musk]

8

[lethal birch]

7-8, I guess

[obsidian patio]

Probably like 8.5-9

[lethal birch]

ARR kind of weighs it down

[limber hound]

The first approx 30% is a of a dreg

[lethal birch]

But I'm the type who doesn't like hyper traditional mmo stuff, so the fetch questy stuff felt like it dragged on

Heavensward having more engaging dialogue helped keep me going though

[heavy jewel]

not gonna lie all the main story feels like a snoozefest cause it has zero challenge

[regal pawn]

that's kinda the point

most of the content is easy

so that anyone can do it

[limber hound]

lv50 unlocks EX bosses

[heavy wadi]

the story is not meant to be a challenge. the side content is the more challenging stuff

[heavy jewel]

its like epic cutscene! then a fight for 10 year olds to follow up

[pure zenith]

also ARR is extra easy since its old

[hasty musk]

challenging content exists, but the story is not that

[silver ruin]

raiding exists if you like challanges

but the msq is for anyone to be able to do

[pure zenith]

but the difficulty does go up as you go through the expansions

[lethal birch]

I fall asleep doing old content if I'm not on vc with people, yeah

[heavy jewel]

yea but the main story spoils the raids for you

already

[lethal birch]

Savage I actually have to pay attention to.

[silver ruin]

not

really

[lethal birch]

Not really

[silver ruin]

omega/eden/alex arent main story

they have seperate story lines

[heavy wadi]

it does not do that at all lol

[heavy jewel]

yea you literally see the bosses rather then earn it

[pure zenith]

the main story is your introduction to the trials/etc

[heavy wadi]

??

[lethal birch]

?

[heavy jewel]

at least for alexander so far

not coils

[silver ruin]

the normal raids are easy> savage is where the challenge is

[heavy wadi]

you do not see any alexander bosses in msq.

[heavy jewel]

yea you do..

[silver ruin]

no

you dont

[lethal birch]

[pure zenith]

yeah you only see the introduction telling you the alex raids are a thing

[heavy jewel]

was i doing a side ques tthat whole time lol?

[silver ruin]

run the official benchmark

[pure zenith]

probably

[heavy jewel]

oops

[hasty musk]

alexander is a raid series

it's not part of the msq

[silver ruin]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/

i have no idea about mac specs so i couldnt tell you

[heavy wadi]

msq is

[lethal birch]

Alexander is a raid series, essential a side quest with combat content

[heavy jewel]

so main story never requires you do do raids or alliance raids?

[silver ruin]

but this will tell you if you can run the game

[pure zenith]

also raid series from hw onwards have a "story mode" esque difficulty before they give you the hard version

[silver ruin]

other that crystal twoer, no

tower*

[limber hound]

only crystal tower during ARR

[lethal birch]

Only alliance raid that's necessary is crystal tower

[limber hound]

But otherwise no

[heavy wadi]

crystal tower is the only required one

[heavy jewel]

thats good at least

[lethal birch]

Every raid series is optional

[heavy jewel]

ty

[craggy tinsel]

and crystal tower is required because of a major plot hole in ShB without it

[lethal birch]

But they're worth trying once

[heavy jewel]

ohhhhh

wait..

what i meant now that i think about it is it requires you to do the easy normal mode first which spoiles the satisfaction of earning the next fight through a challenge and earning the cutscenes

[silver ruin]

not

relaly

[hasty musk]

you always have to do the normal mode versions first

[silver ruin]

savage has more mechanics, no aoe telegraphs for the most part and they come out faster

[craggy tinsel]

also not to jump back a bit, but in postpatch HW you see the big dome covering alexander but that's kinda it involving that

[silver ruin]

and best in slot gear

[pure zenith]

the harder difficulties also have their own separate and better rewards

[craggy tinsel]

don't even know if there's a cutscene camera going to it, it's just.. you can see it right there

[heavy wadi]

normal does not spoil a single thing about savage

[pure zenith]

the easy mode is basically just "for the story mode"

[heavy jewel]

i mean sure it has different mechanics but it still spoils what the upcoming boss looks like and what the cutscenes you earn are

[heavy wadi]

savage fights are pretty damn different

[limber hound]

savage has no cutscenes

[pure zenith]

you dont earn any cutscenes tho

[heavy jewel]

so when you beat it i savage yoru like oh... i've already seen this

[limber hound]

It's all mechanics

[heavy jewel]

rather then like sweeet i earned this

[hasty musk]

extreme and above content is purely for the challenge

[heavy wadi]

and better loot*

[honest anvil]

dont worry .. savage has its exclusive cutscenes

[pure zenith]

savage has unique rewards tho

[silver ruin]

final fights do

[honest anvil]

and exclusive bosses

[silver ruin]

transition cutscenes the normal ones dont have

e8s/12s etc

[hasty musk]

fwiw the 4th fight for every savage raid tier has an exclusive phase

ye

[silver ruin]

^

[pure zenith]

the harder difficulty versions are designed first and then demaked for the story version

[craggy tinsel]

there's also the matter of not all trials are made available as part of MSQ

and I think specifically Odin doesn't have an extreme

[limber hound]

ah right

[hasty musk]

a lot of trials don't

[limber hound]

Canonically, the normal fights are what the char goes through

and the savages are like a souped-up fanfiction version

[craggy tinsel]

^

[limber hound]

[hasty musk]

if you're looking for a game where you have to fight tooth and nail just to see the next bit

you won't get that here

you fight hard if you want to, the game won't make you

[boreal storm]

Minstrel goes hard in his retellings

[craggy tinsel]

some of them are even labeled as "Minstrel's Ballad" because they're just a bard making a badass retelling of the events, and the fight is you experiencing that retelling

[limber hound]

also

[craggy tinsel]

great minds think alike

[limber hound]

Note that what may be easy to an MMO veteran may be difficult to a casual

my party wiped twice on a9n

[heavy jewel]

what just really sucks is this game gives casual players a way to get the cool hard to get rewards by just unsyncing

[hasty musk]

not all fights are easily unsyncable

either literally or because mechanics prevent you from soloing it

for example

the hardest content in the game, Ultimates, cannot be unsynced period

[worn crag]

neither can like thordan iirc

[heavy jewel]

yea but those are a very small % of the difficult content and not to mention over the top difficult

[pure zenith]

unsynching hard stuff is also usually only possible 2-3 expansions later

[hasty musk]

Also, imo

it doesn't matter if casual players can unsync old stuff

cause stastically it doesn't matter anymore

[heavy wadi]

it's kinda elitist to say that ngl

this is ultimately not a hardcore mmo

[craggy tinsel]

It's pretty hard to do even certain heavensward extremes solo with current stats, depending on your job

and that's old content

[lethal birch]

If you want exclusive hard content rewards, do ults

[analog folio]

how do i download the free trial client, because its like not letting me with the normal client, does it matter?

[heavy jewel]

guess i just feel like i get nothing special/unique no matter what i do since i'm not at end game yet, even if i do the difficult old content for fun

@analog folio

[hasty musk]

you're playing a game with a gear treadmill

that's always gonna be true

[analog folio]

ah thanks

[hasty musk]

there will always be people who get the same stuff you do

[heavy wadi]

content will always become irrelevant eventually. that's how mmos work

[pure zenith]

you are getting the unique/special thing
and yknow what your still going at it with an advantage due to job changes over the years and its still fairly difficult

[heavy jewel]

well in stuff like path of exile and wow you can still get random loot drops that are at least worth a ton to sell, or very rare and exclusive even in old content

[hasty musk]

that happens here too

[heavy jewel]

including mounts

[limber hound]

if it's any consolation

[craggy tinsel]

hell there's things people still go for that's old content but still popular because it's hard, btw

[pure zenith]

happens here too

[limber hound]

I see SB EX weapons go for quite a bit

[polar badge]

Eureka drops still goes for millions

[limber hound]

But more because they look fancy than for any stats

[hasty musk]

Eureka is like "old content full of rare shit that no one farms" central

[craggy tinsel]

solo floors 1-200 of PotD for an exclusive title, it's like the 34th rarest achievement or something

[hasty musk]

^

[craggy tinsel]

and PotD came out with ARR, didn't it?

I wouldn't personally know, just guessing

[limber hound]

HW I think

[craggy tinsel]

ah, even then

[hasty musk]

But seriously, you're wasting your energy being concerned about people getting the same stuff you can

[limber hound]

since the max level is 60

[heavy jewel]

acheivments don't count lol i want an actual item i can show off or sell

[craggy tinsel]

the achievement gives you a title

and you can show that off

< The Necromancer > I believe?

[pure zenith]

theres also the swag housing items
trial bardings
orchestration rolls
mounts
etc

[heavy jewel]

letters arnt as cool as weapons/armor/mounts

lol

and minions

[craggy tinsel]

Then you farm extreme trials or savage raids for mounts

do ultimates for weapons

[hasty musk]

Consider that nothing you get will matter to anyone but you at the end of the day

Like if you clear an ultimate

cool

good for you

[pure zenith]

you can at best maybe get a minion from the easy difficulty raids, all the cool stuff is behind the higher difficulty including the mounts

[honest anvil]

can try doing the actual grindy, difficult-ish stuff like Zodiac, Eureka, crafter relics, card mount, and ultimates stuff to show off

[heavy jewel]

unless it sells for a lot which this game dosnt have anything like that it seems. all duty drops are unsellable or common

[craggy tinsel]

all 50 field notes in the Bozja areas, for example

[honest anvil]

or attempt savage when it’s current

[honest anvil]

sounds like you’ll enjoy eureka

[heavy jewel]

like is there any hard to get mounts/minions/weapons/armor in non ultimate duties that sell for a lot?

[craggy tinsel]

Why does it matter if it sells for a lot, to you personally? I'm curious

[honest anvil]

but having a last floor savage weapon when it’s current is admirable

so try that

[craggy tinsel]

deinonychus

[polar badge]

I feel ignored

[honest anvil]

^

[craggy tinsel]

drops from the Dalriada, sells for like 8 mil on mb on my DC

not sure how to do a mb search with the bot

[hasty musk]

POTD drops from higher floors go for shit loads

iirc JP marketboard is cheaper

[craggy tinsel]

yeah that sounds right

[limber hound]

but yeah that's twiced

[craggy tinsel]

lucked out and got mine from an actual drop

[honest anvil]

there’s no shortage of what you’re looking for evidently :3 start bozja or eureka o/

[heavy jewel]

oh cool so you can sell some mounts and stuff. are those form savage content also whats eureka? i'm barely in stormblood now

[limber hound]

ah, eureka is post-stormblood

[craggy tinsel]

Eureka is tied to relic weapon content for Stormblood I believe

[boreal storm]

Correct

[limber hound]

Available once you finish 4.0

[craggy tinsel]

I never did it, because I've only been playing for like half a year

[late hinge]

Eureka is still really fun to do. There's always people in the zones

[craggy tinsel]

I've done three relic weapons in ShB though, and the Deinonychus drops from there

[craggy tinsel]

I wanna go back and do it eventually

[honest anvil]

eureka is a rabbit hole .. literally

you’ll spend your life there and it wont end .. ever

[limber hound]

Eureka also has a funny transforming cube/sphere/tetrahedron mount

That we first see in a HW alliance raid

[craggy tinsel]

from successful completion of the Baldesion Arsenal

right?

[hasty musk]

ye

[late hinge]

Yes

[craggy tinsel]

because that's the main reason why I wanna go back.. lol

[limber hound]

same

[craggy tinsel]

it's also why I want to do delebruh savage

[late hinge]

It's one of the coolest mounts imo

[hasty musk]

I don't know if I would call Eureka hard though

[limber hound]

so much lost actions needed tho

[fallen elk]

Anyone a Ninja player?

[honest anvil]

it’s not hard … it’s grindy .. soooo grindy

[craggy tinsel]

I know, unfortunately

[hasty musk]

no, but what's your question

[craggy tinsel]

and I still need my last field note to get the hoverbike >.>

Menenius won't drop his second note, and I'm too stupid to do the duel

[honest anvil]

and grindy with rng factored in is … not not hard

[fallen elk]

Was looking at the Icy-veins pull rotation and they use Doton before the pull, was wondering why

[limber hound]

Tedious, in a word

[craggy tinsel]

like the 180 item step in Zadnor

[limber hound]

The only reason I can withstand bozja tediousness is because of the XP

[craggy tinsel]

yup

[limber hound]

Can't imagine doing it without

The Balance

Discord

[merry merlin]

Thanks

@fallen elk Check out the balance discord, they have up to date resources for every class and channels where you can chat with other NIN players

[fallen elk]

Cool, thanks

[obsidian patio]

It’s basically a free ninjutsu due to Hide giving you all your charges of Ninjutsu back.

So it’s extra damage at the start of a fight if the tank pulls the boss into it

[fallen elk]

I see, thanks

[heavy jewel]

is there any sidequest / content that is super cool but easy to not know about?

[hasty musk]

Hildibrand

every alliance raid series besides crystal tower

every normal raid series

really, every bit of side content is easy to miss if you're not looking for it

[heavy jewel]

lol yea i did hildabrand

[nova karma]

little confused here

isn't t9 already savage?

[hasty musk]

second coil has an extra difficulty mode

[nova karma]

only second coil?

[hasty musk]

yes

[nova karma]

none for binding and final

oh ok ty

never knew

interesting lol

[hasty musk]

the nomenclature for difficult content wasn't as set in stone as it is now

and content releases weren't as standardized

[nova karma]

I see old stuff

so the t9 synced I recently did wasn't even the hardest

[heavy jewel]

outside of raids i mean is there anything super unique that you might miss, something like cool fates or whole new game modes like palace of the dead ?

[hasty musk]

boss fates

heaven on high, which is like potd but higher level

uhhhh Hunts?

the firmament

[heavy jewel]

hmm i've heard of all those but the firmament

cool ty i'll check it out

[hasty musk]

firmament is crafter/gatherer stuff

oh also blue mage

[heavy jewel]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to disable the text that pops up when going between mini regions?

[heavy wadi]

no

As we told you before

[leaden ginkgo]

Almost Black Friday looking for a gaming keyboard to pair with my g600. Any recommendations?

[vast hinge]

what's your budget

[leaden ginkgo]

Don’t rly have one but I’d say up to $100-$150

$200 if it’s some god tier keyboard

[vast hinge]

do you have a size specifically in mind

and a switch type

or are you open to anything

[vestal needle]

I dont think keyboard provide much of a advantage in mmo

[leaden ginkgo]

Open mostly use controller

[vast hinge]

going to assume that was in USD as well right

[leaden ginkgo]

The keyboard I have now was a membrane 2 in 1 combo

[river vortex]

is there an in game mahjong tutorial?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah usd is fine I’m cad but can find a good deal during Black Friday weekend

[vast hinge]

okay I'll just clarify a bit more, are you familiar with mechanical keyboards at all?

[jade quartz]

yes, the Mahjong Master at the gold saucer has a guide you can read

there's no playable tutorial though

you just gotta jump in

[leaden ginkgo]

nope, my brother has one used it less than a dozen times

feels good

[vast hinge]

either way I'll just give a general recommendation for Canada

https://www.amazon.ca/Rosewill-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-RK-9000V2/dp/B00S5E4KH2

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the helmet modded or am I doing something wrong. I have horn of the last unicorn but it’s something over my eyes but for this it’s not

[vast hinge]

this 1 is reasonably cheap in comparison and is built well

you can also choose any type of cherry MX switch you want

[twilit arch]

use /visor to remove the face mask @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhhh ok thank you

[vast hinge]

I'd recommend trying out the 3 most common cherry MX switches at least to get a feel of what you like the most.

In general, I'd argue red is best for gaming, blue for typing, but like preferences > general rules in this case

[valid idol]

any mac players around?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to make text boxes transparent?

[rugged flicker]

What do the yellow symbols next to duties on the duty log mean?

Never figured that out, or I did and forgot.

[limber hound]

ilvl sync

[rugged flicker]

But every dungeon below a certain level is synced.

[limber hound]

I dunno what it actually does

[neat patrol]

Is there no early-mid ways to farm a good amount of gil? Currently in SB at level 63 Wanna get 300k more for an Apt. As well as farm some after for Calfskin set

[limber hound]

I only know it says ilvl sync

[boreal storm]

It stops you from getting i400 stats in say a lvl 70 dungeon, because the isync is lower

[honest anvil]

do your roulettes.. all roulettes every day for a week is about 1 mil iirc

[jade quartz]

All content is synced to a certain job level, and syncs your gear to the strength of the highest gear available at the level.

[limber hound]

1mil seems a bit much, if that was the case I'd be at 7 digits

[jade quartz]

If a duty has the "gear level sync" feature on it, it means that gear strength is synced to a level lower than the max available at that level.

[limber hound]

Probably 50k I guess, I closed the game so I can't check

[jade quartz]

This happens with level cap duties released earlier in expansions. As the expansion progresses, higher item level gear comes out, so the earlier dungeons of the expansion get a gear sync so they're not too outclassed.

[neat patrol]

Yeah, I'm like "I do those everyday, what do you mean 1mil?" lol

[limber hound]

so I see

[boreal storm]

Most of these are the last story dungeons of X.0 and X.55

[honest anvil]

it’s a week ~ not a day

[limber hound]

ah, week

derp

[honest anvil]

it’s decent money

[limber hound]

Still seems a bit much, but still about 6 digits probs

[honest anvil]

boring af with msq and alliance in the mix but you’ll have money ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[neat patrol]

Well, I don't actually have a reference to it, as I've been trial capped until a couple days ago

[limber hound]

but is this with or without lv80/expert roulette

Then again it shouldn't give that much more gil since those are more for max level tomes

I do roulettes more for XP than gil anyway

[honest anvil]

should be without cause idt i have done those roulettes... ever

[neat patrol]

Yeah, I never payed attention to gil payout lol

[honest anvil]

trial cap means you cant get calfskin anw

[limber hound]

be a gatherer, then you can get your own calfskin

[neat patrol]

I know, I mean I'm off trial now, have the jacket, I had to snab that immediately lol

[little fulcrum]

Help, why is it that when I switch from GNB to PLD, my HUD remains that of GNB, the 4th slotbar it is

[neat patrol]

That set, and the Nier set, are my top 2 Glamours I wanna get

[neat patrol]

It's shared

Go to settings and turn off Hotbar sharing for Hotbar 4

[little fulcrum]

ok

[wicked nacelle]

can i ask about payment method/mog station stuff in here?

like visa card and stuff

[open ember]

Visa card?

You can use whatever payments mogstation says you can use

[river vortex]

how do you report someone?

I couldnt find a way during a pvp match, so i just screen grabbed the name. Now idk what to do with it

[vivid karma]

I guess this is a pretty subjective question but is there a safest class for soloing hoh?

[minor fulcrum]

RDM

[unreal pagoda]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YVBSTOgJO-xOAB6YyKZEZRikjXFPle6Ihf_E7VdmQnI/edit this is probably a good hoh solo guide and it comes with a tier list attached

[twilit arch]

actually for HoH, gnb is king

[leaden ginkgo]

is there someone I can email about housing clipping? o-o

[twilit arch]

its a tank, has high dmg

so its decently safe choice though rdm/mch are pretty up there

[unreal pagoda]

red mage just does a bit of everything and mch deals the damage

[twilit arch]

could try submitting a ticket in the support desk but its been a thing for years at this point so probably not going to do much @leaden ginkgo

[unreal pagoda]

oh yeah I came here with my own question

aether currents

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you!

[unreal pagoda]

unlocked them, got some of them, how to use

[vivid karma]

Ok thanks I’ll try it

[twilit arch]

You need to gather all of the aether currents in a zone to fly

[vivid karma]

I tried mch but everything did a ton of damage with kiting once I got to floor 40

[twilit arch]

10 open world currents, 5 quest currents

[unreal pagoda]

I see...

that's an interesting way to unlock flight

[vivid karma]

Also you should have a key item called the Aether compass that will point you in the direction of the nearest one you need

[unreal pagoda]

yeah, nifty little item

and I imagine that's how it works in all the next expansions

[warped nest]

If you don't like to explore, you can just look up a guide on where they all are

[twilit arch]

yes

[warped nest]

Yes

[unreal pagoda]

exploring is fun (and if there are some harder to reach currents that's also fun too)

[junior walrus]

Do small houses have a basement? One of my friend's FC house only has a basement and it's very small

[warped nest]

Oh ho ho ho, I can assure you that there's a few that's hard to reach

Even with the compass thingy

[twilit arch]

yes

small have the main floor and then a basement

[junior walrus]

Then Medium and Large housing has the upstairs and basement?

[twilit arch]

yes

[junior walrus]

gotcha, ty. might try getting a house in shb

[normal sand]

If i take out a glamour of a weapon, do i lose the glamour that was on the weapon?

[warped nest]

I'm not sure what you mean

[normal sand]

The exarhic blade has a glamour on it

And i wanna put that glamour on my other weapon

[junior walrus]

You need to remove that if you want to put it on another weapon

You can't stack glamours basically

[warped nest]

If a looks like b, and you make C looks like A

Then it will just look like A

C won't looks like B

[normal sand]

How do i remove it?

[junior walrus]

You need a glamour dispeller

[warped nest]

!item glamour dispeller

[zinc orbit]

**Glamour Dispeller** **:** Catalyst : ilvl 30

This black prism absorbs the magical lights woven upon a glamoured piece of equipment, thus dispelling the optical illusion. Be fairly warned that dyes and company crests are also removed in the process.

[humble depot]

login question, has anyone ever had an issue where you can loginto mogstation but not the game client?
I've 8x checked the login info, I was always able to log onto mogstation but the game client it says "incorrect id or password"

I sent them an email, but asking here just in case

[olive citrus]

so a friend of mine just tried to level up from 79 but instead of leveling up to 80 it sent him back to 79 anybody know what is going on with that?

[boreal storm]

Lvl sync, I assume. Were you in a dungeon?

[olive citrus]

no this happened to a friend, they where doing a msq and where about to level and when they leveled it just went back to 79

the start of level 79 mind
