then why does it say specific fates 
maybe they mean specific as in specific to that zone
Why do goblins wear their weird outfits
for comedic effect
Is there an actual difference between beast races and others or is it just a cultural classification. I'm near the end of Heavensward so don't spoil past that
they have gas masks in part because they work with a lot of industrial stuff, iirc
there's not it's just racism
it's a kind of a racist distinction
Classic
Classic
Just what I'd expect of those conniving little lalas
heated gamer moment
it's racist.
There's a quest, I thiiiink it's in Limsa, that touches on that. The mask is full of herbs because they don't like how other races/places/etc smell.
they are considered "beasts" due to the gods they worship iirc
Gobbie-flock wear masks to stop uplander muchstink!
of course, 'our' 12 gods are different and we're not anything like those beast races! /s
@mild mountain go back to the tower, same floor as Vidofnir then cross the bridge of that floor, go straight through narrow path to the dungeon
Damn lag, didn’t see casp’s post
Gobbies think uplander stinki, go shower stinki
Goblins are classified as beast tribes just because Uldah merchants don’t want competition iirc
that's also what that psskoh is when gobbies talk, it's them breathing in their masks
Vidofnir is on the lowest floor and i cant find any bridge there..?
Is this the Sky something something tool thing?
Yes, the relic tool
Fancy!
Also Stormblood's Eureka stuff is the only expansion we had "Relic Armor" right?
Oh wait nvm i think i found it. It was a floor higher though.
Yes, if you want to class dyeable AF or elemental gear as relic armour
For whatever reason
Not really relic armour
No
I see
Only relation to relic is needing a pagos relic to unlock the npc
I just remember near the end of HW era, I was hearing rumors people talking about getting relic armor soon
I see
That was just musings of how to do elemental gear and stuff
Yes
Like, Eureka is mandatory for the relic
Where Bozja relic basically don't require you to touch Bozja
You need to progress through the zone to continue the relic
I see
Bojza needs rank 10 to finish the relic
Oh
Hun, I didn't knew that
I thought Bozja only require you to enter BSF once
But yeah, still much better
You nees to unlock Zadnor for the last set of quests
Yes
I see
Make sense
HW Relic was not related to Diadem tho?
Like I remember before Bozja and Eureka, Diadem was like the... the weird thing
No
I have PTSD, it's Threat Assessment based. So head gear that obstructs the face is a trigger. I'm so desperate to disable head gear that I'm willing to do almost anything... Can someone please save me from being tormented?
And Diadem just got 1.0ed and into modern Diadem
@mild mountain i talk about the npc that overwatch the dragon land, lowest floor are all lesser dragon, what you want is the second floor and do you meet Vidofnir cus that is required to have MSQ pointing to that dungeon upper left corner
There's a button to hide it on your character profile page
Under the character window
EVERYONE's head gear
Can't hide others
That's the problem, I'm not scared of myself... It's other people flagging subconsciously as true threats
not usually but founded in 2017 and not rank 30 yet is a big red flag for activity
Yeah, was walking around and saw someone else
Seems like a solo FC
I got into housing and I tried the floating furniture glitch to put my bed on a loft, I got it to work.....but when I came back, I found the bed fell to the bottom floor 😦
Did they fix it, or did I mess up?
i think most people wear hats or cirlet gears instead of full helmet fwiw .. but a number of NPCs that you’ll see regularly will wear helmet soo .. be prepared
NPCs aren't as bad, they don't have souls... It's specific to players...

What is the use of Collective Unconscious?
What’s the best way to farm irregular tomestones without a blue mage?
It feels like something I'd use just before a raidwide
Bonus points for snapshotting raid wides
How would I do that 
Use it like half way to 3/4 of the cast bar
if you know there is a big raidwide coming without a tight heal check after, use it to make the damage lower
if there is a tight heal check, you'd be best pre-casting an actual heal spell
Depending on the cast bar speed
You basically never really hold it for extended periods
Is it better to use Collective Unconscious in Diurnal or Nocturnal Sect or does it not matter
Doesn't really matter
It's use changes slightly cause the mitigation persists in Nocturnal
So you can use it to help mitigate mechanics before people go away
But still the same concept
but you'll be choosing diurnal/nocturnal based on who your other healer is, not the collective unconscious effect
this means that i've already activated endwalker yeah?
Use it briefly to give out buffs then drop
The preorder yes
Yoy get the actual code during early access
you want one shield and one pure healer in the raid optimally
so you choose diurn/noct based on what role the other guy plays
thank you!

what is the general rule on what you can and can not use missile on?
if it's immune to instant death, it's immune to missile
Bosses past arr are generally immune to death
@faint flare can I ask an extended question regarding collective unconscious. I was told by different people, that by snapshotting, it either lasts
- 1 server tick (about 3s)
- 5s
Which one is a more accurate guage?
It's pretty generous but it goes off at the next server tick
Ah I see
You basically get like 3-4 seconds depending on the timing
Same goes for Passage for pld
Do I actually need to give retainer jobs?
No
Yes
Fancy!
I'm planning to have a retainer be Sage
bam, you're level 80 marauder
So I'm just leveling the retainer now
Yep I'm aware they behave similarly! Thanks for the reminder
Yeah you can
Some gear require job I think
Correct me if I'm wrong
But does Horoscope work similarly to WHM's Plenary Indulgence?
Kinda but not really
the old plenary
You manually active the additional heal
current plenary not really
It's old plenary yeah
So I have to pop it myself unlock PI where it pops itself?
you can either let it pop on its own for a 200 pot heal
or you can use aspected/helios to upgrade it to a 400 pot heal
unlike*
you can do both
either manually detonate or let it detonate when it expires
Where can I get Tinctures from
To add on, unbuffed horoscope heals for 200p and lasts 10s.
Using helios/aspected helios refreshes the buff to 30s and heals for 400p
Crafting
You can activate either early or let it run out where it automatically popss
craft yourself or buy from MB
Is the casual attire sold on MB as coffers or pieces?
both ways iirc
Nice
I should go buy it
It’s unlikely it will becomes cheaper after EW release right?
Yeah it should be at the cheaper possible price now
Since everyone who wants it already got it
who knows the future ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ayy
Yeah I think for Eureka, the drop in supply is greater
So items with super low supply and demand gets expensive
Later EW be like: oh you can buy Casual Attire from this vendor for 10 Gil now
That would be kinda cool
I guess
whats the hot key to see your currency and poetics stacks?
ctrl+c
Thanks!
what job has the fastest attack animations, like swinging a sword a bunch
when i am in a raid and offtanking... should I turn off my threat buff?
I would think the answer to be either NIN, MNK or SAM because of Huton, Greased Lightning or Shifu
No
You leave it off at the start of combat then turn it on and leave it
Turn off at the start, turn back on after 30s
I think NIN or Monk
That way if the tank dies the boss automatically switches to you
You turn on your tanks stance after about 15-20s
Shirk if you get close to stealing
is there a way to monitor threat in game?
Otherwise it'll focus the healers
Look at the party list
You have aggro meters under the party list
That gauge under the job icons
If you take back aggro casually, it means you're out gearing the mt and probably have better defenses anyways
Ohhh fancy
Is the aggro
The bars near the job icons on the parry list
The fuller it is the more threat you have
however works for you
is it better to grind the random leveling dungeon or highest level dungeon when you are out of 1st time roulettes?
Highest level
Never spam roulettes
whatever is speediest
!action Hissatsu: Kaiten
!action Higanbana
Delivers an attack with a potency of 250.
Additional Effect: Damage over time
Potency: 40
Duration: 60s Additional Effect: Grants a stack of Meditation, up to a maximum of 3
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Correct
yes
As all sen skills are weaponskills
However tsubeme is an Ability so it is not boosted by kaiten
Is MSQ EXP level-scaled?
Hypothetically, if I swapped to a level50 character to collect the MSQ exp reward for MSQ level70 quest, would I skyrocket in levels, or would it scale down somehow (maybe percentage based)?
no
you can't turn in quests below the required level
if you're Level 50, you cannot turn-in a quest that is a higher level than you
despite already completing it
Oh no.... so I guess it sounds like I do need to plan around leveling more than 1 class because MSQ + duties are so much EXP huh
there are plenty of ways to get EXP for your jobs, so it's not something you should be worrying about
I ask because I'm level57 and not even in HW yet (very close), and the only non-MSQ thing I do is duties
So I think I'm going to be overlevelled and need to redistribute MSQ exp to another class
So if you're a first time player going through MSQ on a non-preferred world it's advisable to level only one job, but you get so much exp if you're doing your daily roulettes as well that most people will pick up a second job to level
you are already over-leveled by a considerable amount
If you're on a preferred server which you probably are given that you're 57 before being in HW you can level three or even four jobs all at the same time utilizing roulettes and MSQ
the beginning of heavensward was designed for jobs at Level 50, as it increased the level cap to 60 at this point and everyone was 50
for the Amina Relic farm is it the same poetic items for any wep I go for?
and so the MSQ starts at 50 there
if you're 57 you are extremely far behind MSQ level, so you should focus on progressing MSQ as quickly as possible
ye
you can theoretically level another job to 50, sure, to gain exp for that job instead
but it's not needed
I guess I run into trouble when I hit level90 with main, and then I have nobody else to cash in Endwalker MSQ exp rewards yeah, that would be the disaster?
So I have to integrate a second class
No, you don’t
even at Level 57, you are still getting EXP, by turning in Level 50 quests
Generally levelling up in a new expansion is a bit slower
Again don't worry too much about XP
You don't have to but a lot of people pick up a second job to do that
It's not that big of a deal
I didn't pick up a second job at all until I was in SB
Yeah well either way it's good to know about the can't collect EXP unless you meet MSQ level thing so thanks
I think I will level 1 character to 70 first regardless just because I think I want to switch to Reaper so might as well get that active first
You’d do that anyway by doing the story
switch to Reaper
Go level Lancer/Dragoon, it's going to share gear with Reaper in EW
yeah that's my first and only class essentially, works out well
Nice
My first job was WHM and I didn't unlock another one until after I reached 62 MSQ
I like the idea of* Gunbreaker too so my plan is to DRG to 60, pick up GNB at 60 and share MSQ/duty EXP with him if required, hit 70 switch to Reaper and pick my main from there
Reminder that GNB is a tank
And DRG is not
So comparing it with RPR and DRG is a bit apples and oranges
70 GNB though is basically a disguised melee dps with Continuation
Yeah ik, I'm actually even more excited because of queue times right
Like one thing is, it is surely almost required to farm endgame whatever tomes or equivalent equipment currency using Tank/Healer due to queue time yeah?
So I have to prepare for that even if I want to gear up a DPS?
In my experience farming as DPS is comgier
*comfier
Less responsability and more buttons
That's interesting, good point, if you have to do it for days and days
I guess I can try both when I get there
A Striking Opportunity

stone sea and sky unlock
What is that
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
is cactuar a recommended server for a more hardcore raiding experience?
server doesn't really matter for raiding
All servers are recommended servers for hardcore raiding
ahh okay, idk i saw something about cactuar beiung really a spanish speaking community so i got a bit worried lmao
You'll be finding a lot of raiding parties as soon as the eight man raid for EW drops
k yea im mostly interested in finding a proper raiding fc
most people don't raid with fc necessarily
When do you unlock everything The Firmament related in MSQ?
not to say you can't find a raid fc, but its not like wow where finding a guild is really important for a static
After completing 3.3?
yes
I see
ohhh okay
So you can have everything related to the Firmament, including all the custom deliveries, unlocked before StB?
yes, but the custom delivery npcs require you to be min 70 to unlock them
Oh my
That's sad
I was like: "So The Firmament is like a huge bunch of recently made content for the Free Trail..."
Also what's the main use of Delicate Synthesis?
To be fast?
Like I think it's useful when your goal is to complete a craft with as little step as possible?
?
cause you get some progress, quality and IQ stacks as well
I see
Is there a way to get the game downloaded onto a playstation without having to buy it, since I already bought it for PC?
!action delicate synthesis
No, Clonk
Hey, so I have a problem with my grand company, I am Serpent corporal right now, I tried to rank up but it tells me I need to do the hunt quests, but when I try to accept the quests it tells me I am not authorized to do them? there are no other quests, I am a bit lost right now
Do your gc hunting logs
It means your hunting log
Anyone playing on PS4/PS5? How do you handle voice chat during raids? I get that you can Discord via the phone but won't people simply be listening to your TV if your headphones are occupied with voice chat?
Do the section that opens from clicking your GC icon
@lusty owl I do mobile. Just set the sensitivity of your mic
thanks a lot
@lusty owl I play on rather low volume anyway cause I raid like really late when my kids are asleep.
I need help (I do hope this is the right place to ask.) Is like, LFG allowed here? If not, is there a channel where it is? I can't seem to find it...
#retired-na-datacenters @astral dune
You could always test out the mic sensitivity with your team mates beforehand
thank you!
The game isn't letting me queue for an alliance raid as a level 62 Gunbreaker ilvl 94
I figured I met the qualifications but when i hit queue it says "Unable to register. Two or more duty requirements unmet."
any idea what's going on?
Get better gear
What alliance raid are you queuing for
the roulette
There’s no reason you should be i 94 as a GNB
I may have sold it all last time I played when I was clearing inventory like a dummy
It was a coffer, you always open those
where do i unlock the shb msq ex trials? from ||titania to warrior of light||
thx for the idea, never thought of that somehow. This should help me get by until Discord comes to PS5.
get shire gear
crystarium
I'm hoping discord support comes to ps4 too. Sad.
wicked
Why did a mob in HoH crit me
what's the best source of bitter memories? dungeons?
What do Arch Bishop Thordan 7th and the Ascians have to do with the war between the dragons and Ishgard in HW? I'm trying to put it together, just wrapped up the pre-patch MSQ, and didn't really pay that close of attention.
wrong person
They'll always be the person marked with a blue bag icon on the map, such as the one next to the aetheryte plaza in Ishgard
do your leveling roulette for the day and five runs of The Antitower and you'll get all 6 ezpz
They’re in idyllshire
they're in both 
Bozja cluster farm
No Clonk is in Idyllshire
Which is also the faster way for the stage 1 memories
oh you meant they as in clonk
fates were fast enough
Is you have multiple quests active, you'll overcap bitters easily @worn crag
What's your MSQ quest?
You may not see the vendor if you aren't far enough into the MSQ for HW
@worn crag you mean quests? Yea. You can just pick up another weapon and accept the quesy for the 1st stage etc. As your current latest weapon moves up a stage
I'm up to Shb ish I think. It's been a whiiiiile
middle vendor
o
@worn crag thwre are 5 quests for shb relic you can keep active for the mats as you do bozja/zadnor stuff
they only have armor, I thought I could get a weapon too
AHHHHH
thank you!!!!
so the problem is... I haven't unlocked any of the raids yet... guess I gotta do the blue quests now
thanks everyone for the help, and the new weaps!
unlocking the raids has no bearing on vendors
are these all the StB trials?
yes
No
well, no
Rathalos
yeah I forgot that one
earlier I was asking why I couldn't queue for raids, we thought it was because my ilvl wasn't high enough so I went to these vendors. Turns out the raids just weren't unlocked.

Patch 5.2 Archives:
[The following adjustments have been made to materia.
Materia can now be extracted from fully spiritbound gear without losing the original item. Furthermore, materia can be melded to gear regardless of crafter class.
In accordance with this change, the general action "Materia Assimilating" has been changed to "Materia Extraction."
- Spiritbond is reduced to 1% following materia extraction.]
Wait what are they saying what are they IMPLYING I'M SCARED
It used to be that you could convert gear in to materia when it was fully spiritbonded, losing the gear in the process. Not anymore.
It was a QoL change
Who fell into that pitfall????? From 2.0 >>> 5.18????? w h a t t h e f u u u u u u u
I am dying of insane laughter here
you dont wanna know about how shit this game was back in the day
accuracy checks
Oh I've heard plenty thanks to Mogtalk and walking down memory lane with all the 2.0 old vets he brings on
If you were to be with a proper group, and do well enough to succeed all the way through, how long does it actually take to full clear one complete run of PotD?
"The calculations feature has been added to the crafting window.
It allows you to view the expected increase in progress and quality from each crafting action."
falling_down_stairs.gif
I'm so glad I joined in 5.3
literally one week before patch
all the way to floor 200? with a group who has already done it probably takes 24 hours ~ ish
no, its not lol
if you're skipping chests and going striaght to the next floor
its realistic
until you get to 150+ no point in chests
24 hours is silly
the TIME LIMIT for 10 floors is 1hr
times 20 is 20 hours
you're not going to be hitting time limit in a group
Also, Getting the glow weapons from PotD, I'm guessing it's RNG dependent as well? Unable to focus or choose which job's version you'd want
you sacrifice aetherpool levels to get them as glams but the upgrades are sort of rng yes
considering potd doesn't scale with the amount of players inside
and it is possible to finish it solo inside that time limit
a full 4man group is going to be at least 2-3 times as fast
realistically it should be taking you maybe 10-15 hours with a group
if its any more than that somethings probably gone wrong or people are exploring every floor
but im not talking like, 10
hours of playing straight from start to finish though? you gotta take breaks in between 
dude thought we were talking about time IN the dungeon lol
if you're saying that, you might as well say completing 200 floors takes 5 years
not breaks and stuff
because you started in the first ten in 2016
but no we did 10 hours flat no breaks
time in the dungeon shouldnt take longer than 15h
idk about breaks, thats up to each group
how do I commend people?
well, k ~ probably about 15 hours of actual play time is the better answer like L said
default is a box menu at the bottom right after a duty ends

Welp, I just reached level 80 and I've beaten the main story (Not the post-quests) of Shadowbringers. Any recommendations for new content I should go do?
normal raids, NIER, crafting, leveling alt jobs, sidequesting, unlocking air currents
Why does my recommended gear thing want me to wear "of Fending" accessories instead of the "of Slaying" accessories on my monk?
Do you have the slaying items?
I do
Because both give the same amount of main stat and I believe it just goes alphabetically when that happens
ah, I see
Auto equip isn't smart it just looks for the highest main stat
it's basically coming down to tenacity vs direct hit rate in terms of the stats that are different
Tenacity is useless on dps
exactly
👌
Should I be focusing on anything else or just story I’m in heavens ward rn?
but I didn't know it only looked at the first stat and then would go alphabetically
thank you
And even for tanks tenacity isn't that great.
Whatever else you're interested in, just don't be surprised when you hit a soft progression lock
also, when they say useless, they really mean useless
because tenacity does not apply to non-tank jobs at all, the stat is empty
similar to Mind on a caster, I take it
correct
okay, makes sense
Actually a better comparison would be Piety
@slate arrow what things are important as I level my first class and progress through story?
Because technically with Mind you can buff your SMN psysick
I see
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Thx
However higher level gear is role locked so like y e a h no point to getting Mind if you're not a healer after 60 
just some weird quirks back from ARR and HW
interesting, thank you for letting me know
some stats are pointless to put into other jobs, but they still contribute some sort of functionality to it, however tenacity and piety are different whereas their effects do not apply unless you are of the correct role
so piety on any job other than healer, does absolutely nothing
as if it doesn't exist at all
@slate arrow yea I have been doing those ones I’m not sure if I should be doing things like potd or any beast tribes rn
I don't know if this is the place to ask this, but I heard BLU is good for farming this event. How does that work? I have BLU at level 62
If you're interested might as well
Kinda overwhelmed trying to catch up but don’t know how
POTD is good exp on alt jobs and a decent source of gil if you want to do floor 200 runs
Beast tribes are daily quests, expansion ones in particular give a decent chunk of EXP
tl;dr bahamut coils turn 2, instant death 3 mobs, then final sting the boss, 1-2 minute run for like, 2 tomestones
I believe the strategy is to clear The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 2 as fast possible while synced, with a specific variety of blue magic
Thank you so much, I have been looking for a quick answer for that and y'all nailed it. I assume that requires a full party of blue mages, level 70, knowing final sting and an instant kill right?
the more blue mages, the quicker the run
and more efficient
some groups run a tank, or a ranged dps for peleton
but it doesn't really matter what you do
That's ideal but in reality you only need 5 or 6 to final sting the boss to death
and you only need 3 level 5 deaths
Also the edge of death debuffs resets on instance so you don't have to wait for it to wear off
This is assuming you have the stuff like moon flute and boost though
That's my problem, I'm lacking those moves but I just need a friend that can run that content with me
I'm on aether sadly
at Level 62, you can get a huge amount of spells
You could try party finder
for Necromancer title, if i die do i have to restart from floor 1 or can i start back at floor 50
Which DOH class do u recommend getting?
all
Alright
Crafting and gathering form a nice little gameplay loop among themselves
If you just level one, you will be spending gils buying supplies from other crafters/Gatherer
If you level all of them, you can be self sufficient, but it will take more time
if there are two enemies is it better to LB3 the two with magic dps, physical dps, or just use melee on one
at 2 targets, caster/physical ranged would be dps gain

Hey, I was just told I can "upgrade" the level 70 Paladin gear to make it dyable? How do I do that?
Eureka
I forget where or what that is
Are the DOH classes like end game content or stuff I should be leveling while playing the MSQ and such
they're entirely optional content
They are not
I know, I'm being silly.
generally recommend tho waiting until you're max lvl to start levelign them as it'll be easier to do so. you'll have variety of ways to level them unlocked/easily unlockable with a max level character
this isn't the channel for silly comments like that
I see thx
Wow ok.
Damn idk what to do so much content in this game 😂
I wanna catch up but don’t know how
How can I make the chat box stop scrolling down when there is a new msg
afaik there's no way to stop it from auto scrolling
There is a plugin for it but it’s third party
So I skipped history I know bad but I want to watch all cutscenes and understand it, using the thing from the inn to rewatch the cutscenes is enough or should I make another charac?
cutscenes from the inn cover most of the story, but you can also just use ng+ to play thru unless you absolutely don't want to do that
which if you were considering making a new character anyway to replay the story, you should just use ng+
isn't there any problems just watching it from the inn ? Dunno if I will miss smth important
What problems ?
Wait you can't see unspoiled nodes on other worlds? Only your own?
Like I said missing something important or not feeling the same as Ng+
Is it a huge gap?
Since your just watching cutscenes
You obviously miss conversations that happen between cutscenes. And, if I remember right (Correct me if I'm wrong) but you can't re-watch cutscenes that are not voiced.
I dont really get the question

so if I start Ng+ plus now in endwalker to unlock reaper do I have to do all the quests again in Ng+?
The inn also desn't have all cutscenes
Seb, this isn't the channel for memes and shit
ng+ is its own separate thing
glamour question, the only ARR weapons that can be upgraded are shiva's and leviathan and the rest are gotten by different ways?
@pliant moss what do you think ng+ is maybe theres a contradiction
so I imagine buckler glamours are useless
what's that
yes, 1hs stop being a thing
I know at least Black Mage can still use shields after ARR. Not sure about Conjurer.
for blm/whm
Oh- Whoops
they were basically a carry over from 1.0
It’s a ShB relic area
How do you get those wings?
Gold saucer they’re like 200k?
yes
could you actually get a job at square enix ? like to work on ffxiv ?
you should probably be asking this question in japanese language
if you're not, that's your step one
i mean if you have a resume, the skills and the language requirements
even assuming you will work on the localization team, knowing japanese is very important
i’m only asking because i’m in school for a masters in cs and wanted to use it to transition into game/software development
learn japanese too
if you know the language why not
That's something youre more likely to get an answer if you contact their actual help desk
than a bunch of randoms on a discord
but ye, as blanc said
too sus
well met guys
not the channel for unnecessary silly comments
well noted
which foods are commonly used for lvl 80 crafting? are they even used?
depends on what stats you need
i guess the +CP food if your macro requires just a bit more CP?
but the control and craftsmanship foods seem to give so little
Chili Crab is pretty safe choice
mejillones al ajillo if you need craftsmanship instead of control
tired of hauling around all the 130-400 ilvl crafting/gathering food rewards from quests
i'm going to vendor them
and to answer the question, yes food is used at end game
generally, unless you're super expensively melded (and even then with some crafts) you're going to use food/medicine to help shore up what you're lacking in stats
but even then you'll probably want the 430+ foods
mh
the low level foods you can probably toss safely unless you're still leveling something
i'm using the combat foods for leveling
Yeah, they help
but struggling to come up with ideas for gathering/crafting foods, the quests just give way more than you will actually use
I just sell everything quests gave me
On the Market Board
You get 40 retainer selling slots for free
Feels like a waste not filling them with random trash

looking through the prices for those, they're like... 100 on the MB
when vendoring them is 27
getting back those 15 inventory slots costs way more in comfort
Yeah
I know what I mean is from what I know sage and reaper will need shadowbringers quest done so maybe in ng+ it gets reseted
they will not need any quests
just a level 70 job and owning the endwalker expansion
and you'll be able to pick them up from a starting city
not how ng+ works
if you're done with shadowbringers, you're done with shadowbringers
ng+ is like its own little thing that is separate from your "real" main scenario quest progress
I should always have minimum 20 kenki on SAM for iaijutsu? And the rest go into stuff like shinten/kyuten?
always kaiten every midare and higan
using 25 on shinten and not having enough to boost either skill is a lot of potency loss
you should easily get 20 from doing positionals
Kenki gauge is very easy to fill as long as you're doing them
Past 62 one full kasha or gekko combo should give you enough to kaiten
5 5 and 10 iirc would be your kenki gains
shinten should be weaved whenever possible
but not to below 20 kenki?
If you really want to you can leave a baseline of 20 kenki but it makes your management spacing a bit tighter
You easily gain jt back that it's not really necessary to hold a cushion
If you feel a bit stressed over it, you can wait til 45 kenki to use it but that's not really necessary
it's not as strict as keeping cartridges or anything
theres unlockable hairstyles?
Yes plenty from various sources
!faq hairstyles
ty
so this is a dumb question but i accidentally sold my base level machinist arm so now i cant turn the job on...where would i find a replacement? the ones at skysteel manufactury are too high level lol
wherever the machinist guild is there's a seller, right?
the machinist guild sells them at too high of a level
Check a normal weapons vendor
my ilevel is like 23
Try mb too
ok let me ask the correct chat, am I crazy to think using bio + lustrate on leviathan's tail is a bad idea
hmmm
your ilvl doesn't matter for gear what matters is your job lvl
mch starts at lvl 30 so get a lvl 30 weapon
again, like already said, taking unneeded damage will just delay more dps gcds
It's the equivalent of standing in avoidable aoes
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Steel-barreled_Carbine this is the starter weapon the site also tells you which npcs sell it
so only use it if I'm going to get healed anyway got it
or just don't waste your healer's dps output

any time a healer has to waste time on healing if they don't have an ogcd heal up is a dps loss
but I'm not wasting it on a gcd heal if I'm going to be healing that damage anyway
how much skill speed does a paladin need to hit a 2.4 GCD?
hm, maybe I should take this question to the tank lounge
so would naming yourself after a car be against ToS?
don't think so
Hi! im new here. Anyone know any groups to do Eurika?
Thank you so much!
thanks!
if im doing something like ucob as a melee what potion should I use for extra dps?
can fishing be done automatically with a macro the same way crafting can
how do i get sylphic goldleafs?
Sylph daily quests past rep 3 or so
which slyph do i go to to do that?
tbh I dunno, the only ARR beast tribe I put effort into was Ixal
consolegameswiki says Moxia
then you can buy the dyes and flip them for profit 
I just hit Heavensward, which means I can do my overdue level50+ Class quests
I am a level57 DRG, will there be any problems if I just do my 52/54/56 (later up to 60) class quests right now, I'm worried that because I am DRG that there will be some sort of story spoiler out of order, just wanted to confirm it's fine to do as much as I can right now?
Yep
mmmmm I'm at the soulglazing step of the arr relic, what's the fastestway to get it taken care of?
They’re meant to be done at the level and don’t really take msq into account between levels like 50-60
Goes for all the classes btw
ok, so especially after HW I assume higher level class quests can just be done anytime I want without MSQ spoiler influence?
(SInce I was just worried about you know, Dragoon, Heavensward is about dragoons and dragons, etc.)
Yeah, if you hit the level needed for the quest, but to unlock the level 60+ ones you have to start Stormblood if that makes sense
Im not sure if anyone can answer this but what determines the price of replica dreadwyrm gear?
ok cool
whatever the sellers set them at

I dunno about others but I just see what other listings there are and undercut
Market board is a weird place for sure
Still trying to find Tsukuyomis katana for under 500k 
Reason i ask is cuz i just finished coils so i have the neo pieces and was thinking of have someone craft me some pieces
Did Triple Triad ever have a "random" rule on Lewena?
Not "roulette" specifically "random"
can i hold 2 wonderous tails?
no
aw aight
If I want to equip a new class in the future, what should I do now to make sure I have gear for it and don't run around naked?
just read up on what gear it needs at level 1 or whatever it starts at
classes that start later get a coffer
Basically that. You can keep some level 1 gear around if you want, but you can also buy that from NPC vendors whenever the need arises
And for 50,60 and eventually classes that start at 70, you can buy poetic gear from vendors
Pretty helpful and poetics are easy to come by
Are we getting the job changes before the full release? I've read people say we are, but I'm 99.99% certain they were joking
What are poetics?
Tomestones of Poetics is a currency you unlock later in the game, around Level 50 iirc
Currency you get from doing duties around level 50 onwards
we are, alongside everything from EW when EW early access launches
Oh shit, I'm level 49
Effectively when 12/3 maint ends we are for all intents and purposes in Endwalker
whats the fastest way to farm iregular tome stones for event?
You’ll unlock trial roulette soon iirc so that will give you like 50-100 poetics
Huh, better than nothing, though still a ways away. Can't wait for some classes to feel fun again.
Bahamut coils turn 2 BLU mage
How hard is the unreal trial compared to other synced extreme/savage content?
Pretty sure it’s coils turn 2
Trial roulette?
Extreme synced
how fast are the runs 1 min 30?
Can get down to 30 seconds, average is a minute or two yeah
Thanks
@slate arrow also nice to see u i havent seen u in a while
since i elft ffxiv
left*
Roulettes are basically you entering a queue for a random trial (there’s also dungeons and raids but you haven’t unlocked those yet I’d guess) in this case for trials that you’ll unlock at level 50
It’ll come as you go through the msq so don’t worry about it

So I do a random que and get some of the poetic currency?
a bonus for doing the roulette + the standard instance reward + first time bonus if applicable
Pretty much, you’ll jump in and do the fight then get poetics money and exp, plus they reset daily
Ok so I’m trying to unlock the ultimate ultima thing. I unlocked sigmascape savage. Do I have to do all of the raids or did I just need to have it unlocked
Is the Augmented Scaevan enough to do highest dungeon to 80?
Or will I have to find better gear
I’m not too sure actually
But you’ll get coffers with gear from msq so just upgrade it honestly
So if the class I'm switching to has a higher level cap and I obviously can't get gear from the msq due to it being like 20+ levels ahead, I just get poetic gear instead?
How would you be 20+ levels ahead?
scaevan isnt enough all the ways to 80 ~ you replace them around lv73 or so
Since you can’t unlock a class until you reach the level for it (for example you need to be level 50 to unlock Samurai which starts at level 50)
Or level 60 to unlock Gunbreaker and Dancer etc
I was assuming that someone would swap to a 2nd class after completing most of the msq stuff at like lvl 80-ish when they've done all the stuff for their first class
Ohhh, the msq is ahead
My bad my reading isn’t so great this early in the morning lol
Yeah in that case you’re right
You unlock a new class that starts at a lower level (50,60 eventually 70 in Endwalker) and buy poetics gear for it so you can start playing with it
But you get gear when you unlock them so poetics aren’t the only option
Just convenient is all
So that's for a higher starting level, if you start at level 1, apart from the shop, how else would you get gear for them cause the trials are a bit random so far.
!expansion
For classes that start at 1 or 30, you can buy gear from vendors for money
Like in the market zones of Limsa or Uldah or Gridania
What about after lvl 30?
GC or dungeon gear, I guess
GC?
GC gear pays for itself since levelling roulette gives seals
Grand company
How do i do this on os4 ibe been trying for hours :/ im nee to ps4 and havent played ff xiv in years
Maelstrom, Flames and gridania one lol
oh, I haven't really touched the grand company stuff so far cause crafting looks like a pain in the ass to get into
Can someone pm info i have only been able to select hot bars using r but cant actually see my extra skills
I was kinda the same lol
can you still get the previous phase ishgardian restoration achievements?
Later on in the game you can trade in dungeon gear you don’t use for the seals if you’re lazy like me
like the height of angling and fishers of a feather etc.
Maybe im the only one who uses a controller...
I use the PS controller too
Can u help me
But idk how they got that many hotbars
Yea i have added extra but cant see abilitues till i select their hotbar
Are there different tiers for armour and weapons? I'm seeing stuff about relics.
Which is no good for combos
Go into your settings and you should find stuff about WXHB and cross hot bar
Whats wxhb
It gives you an extra four buttons by double tapping R2 and another four for double tapping L2 iirc
What chat log setting filter do these go under? Theres no that's just blatantly "gil messages" and every google search brings 0 results

Playing Final Fantasy XIV has never been easier, and it is the premier MMORPG to date, one reason for thi...
Maybe thats what i need lemme try!!
This video should help you out
under grand company?
I mean in general
Relics are evolving weapons, one per class (at time of release) in every expansion
Evolving?
After doing certain tasks, ur current Relic gets upgraded
They get better stats and different looks
It’s kind of like a weapon line that you continuously upgrade
So it levels up and changes stats?
pretty much, changes visually and numbers-wise
using the ShB relic (aka. resistance weapon) as an example
Pretty much, they start off alright and fully upgraded are iirc near the best weapons for that expansion
BiS atm is a relic weapon
[base form] -> [base form] Recollection -> Law's Order [2nd form] -> Augmented Law's Order [2nd form] -> Blade's [final form]
There you go, I don’t really raid though so I don’t remember BiS gear lol
allg
How do you get them?
Or are they all different?
they all are gotten in different ways
Heavensward then
for example the ARR ones starts with u getting the base form from a quest
Azys Lla iirc
Tf language is that?
🖕
I mean, how else did you mean it?
is it possible to disable rightclicking on other players? i keep accidently clicking on others and losing my target when i try to adjust camera angle
It’s pretty hard to tell someone’s intent over discord lol
I've looked into it, there's no way to disable that
In a funny ribbing sort of way like "haha very funny"
Only rea way to combat that is to use Tab to change target
Intent is lost when reduced to text
^^
that sux, damn
Sorry if any offence was taken
Unless you got Nitro 
Well, check "Targetting" in keybinds, there's alot of different ways to change how targetting works via other keys
Just in case, any relic at this point is more so for glamour they get outclassed quite fast
If you have an extra key somewhere, you can (if ur default isn't tab) have a key rotate thru all enemies
Even the ShB relic is sorta unnecessary at this point
So if u do Heavensward relic now you'll get a better weapon mid stormblood anyway
since EW and its relic is soon

But if you’re a glowy weapon person then you’ll prob do it
So relic weapons aren't worth it at ARR right now?
all relics besides most current ones are for glam so only set aside those time and resources only if you can spare them
yes, i made it a habbit to use "tab" for focus target so i can just tab back to the thing i wanna attack. but it can still happen that i adjust camera in a chaotic fight and start my rotation, not realizing i lost the target again
not really no
Not that I have the energy to even start them lol
Just for the looks
unless you’ll die without the look
When will they be worth it?
Current expansion if u want BiS
get it if you can set aside the time and like the look
yeah, that's rough, Im noticing that once in a blue moon in my hard raids
That kinda sucks tbh, "evolving weapon" sounds so cool.
you get one every expac that remains relevant
They’re shiny is reason enough for a lot of people
ARR to Stormblood is for glam
Shadowbringers is currently the strongest weapon you can get
ShB is for glam in 14 days
The ShB one is about to be for glam when EW drops
EW will get its own series that is relevant
It's sorted under "loot notices"
yeah rn shb relic isn’t worth either because it’ll be obsolete soon
So how often does Ovni spawn if nobody goes into the portals?
aka. it can be turned off, along with every other thing like item drops
Also if you are good at doing hard content, the Relic weapon also isn’t really worth it
thanks 
As in, the Relic weapon is always slightly weaker than the strongest hard content weapon
Until the last patch
Wait won't the SHB relic be BiS for stuff like TeA until we can choose stats on our endwalker relic
Wait Ato, does that mean I'm also neglecting the loot roll messages too? They're paired together in that option?
Yeah since TEA is locked at 80 I’d guess it is
ShB weapon will be relevant for quite a while for the 3 ultimates
I did heavenward relic for my bard and i have my final weapon design now with the tarpenter lux , can't use any other bow now 😂
do i have to do any of the other sightseeing logs to unlock the shadowbringer ones
Is that the same for the other ultimates? So the Eureka weapons for UCOB etc
next savage weapon most likely will trump ShB relic for TEA
The Eureka weapon can suck
Pretty sure UWU and UCOB both use Bozja relic
Interesting
Because they strip all your stats at the pyros stage
Which one was locked at 60 again?
How? It will have less substats?
Hey
There are no ultimates at 60
uwu and ucob need no relic cause any good weapon with certain iLevel works
How does one use the registration code for the endwalker
Oh they’re both 70?
Yeah
if the ilevel is high enough, you’ll get max sub stats anw
says in the email
Won't it have not as many of the substats though
Well yeah, but Relic weapon gives more "Max Sub stats"
You get to have like, all 4 max sub stats if you do relic
oki
Like the Eureka weapon can have all of the substats at 200
Is the Eureka weapon RNG dependent?
Like for a patch it was the "BEST" weapon
And it's super hard to get
And people are salty
You have to get 2 smoldering protean crystals for a reroll
And the reroll can be anything from
50 crit
To the literal God roll
The weapons look good though.
sync gives max max … there’s no more max than max >.>
There is
Yeah but you can't have max on a stat the weapon doesn't have
A weapon with +400 A, +400 B, will be synced to like, +200 A, +200 B
A weapon with like, +210 A, + 210 B, + 210 C, + 210 D, will be synced to +200 A, + 200 B, + 200 C, + 200 D in the same content
Actually, the relic weapons give slightly more stat gain despite the sync down
That's like, 400 more points of free stats
It’s weird but it’s why it’s bis for 70 ults
Yeah
Since Relic weapons allow you to customize stats, and you can have more types of stats on the weapon
We were kinda talking about tea
let me check
no? high enough stats sync to the same; so after a certain point? 300 500 700 sync to the same 200 if 200 is the cap
But also ultimates in general
Yes, everything syncs to 200
But usual savage weapons only have 2 substats
Relic can have up to 4 sub stats
but you’re arent capping 4 substats …
_ _
On synced gear:
When gear is item level synced, stats get capped at the stat cap for the synced item level (for substats, this is the higher substat on any HQ, dungeon, or blue gear at that item level). For example, the Bonewicca Ring of Fending has 84 crit (the low stat) and 120 det (the high stat). This means that any ring being synced down to i345 will have 120 of its high stat and the minimum of its low stat amount and 120 of the low stat.
Many pieces of gear are BiS when synced down. The 'low' stat on the higher ilvl gear will reach the stat cap on the lower ilvl gear, which outweighs the melds that you lose in some cases, and in others is only a few points of stats behind. The 515 (Augmented Law's Order) and 535 (Blade's) Relics offer customizable substats, which makes them BiS for all SB and ShB ultimates. 535 Relics will provide 15 more substats in UWU and TEA vs 515 Relics, but no extra benefit in UCoB (as the 515 already caps all 4 stats).
