[tender venture]

yeah what they said

[solid fog]

how is it now ?

[tender venture]

as long as you're comfy with what you have, it should be fine

[solid fog]

i mean whatever goes to number 6 is uncomfy

[midnight grotto]

what's ur class?

[solid fog]

but i cant do anything else

my main?

photo shows my astro

[tender venture]

i bind X as well

and V

[midnight grotto]

is astrologian good?

[tender venture]

good as in?

all classes are viable

[solid fog]

"V" is in a weird spot and i dont like it

[tender venture]

so there isnt much of a comparison

[solid fog]

i use "X" to hide people

[stone cosmos]

All classes are gud?

[tender venture]

yes

[solid fog]

only bard is sus >.>

[midnight grotto]

really :0

[tender venture]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[midnight grotto]

[stone cosmos]

y

[midnight grotto]

that's great

[solid fog]

lets just say someone would take dancer or mch over bard

[modest igloo]

its just a lot more work for a less big number ot show up compared to MCH and DNC

[solid fog]

on hc raids

[tender venture]

ehh no

[worn flume]

bard as a job is fine, it's as viable as any other phys ranged

whether you find it fun or not is a different question

[modest igloo]

like you'll still be fine on it it's just jank

also y no bane on the MF DOT class is beyond me

[tender venture]

if you play a job well, it doesnt matter

[modest igloo]

!action bane

[zinc orbit]

**Bane** : lvl 30 ACN SMN (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Spreads a target's Bio and Miasma effects to nearby enemies.
Potency is reduced by 60% for all remaining enemies. Duration: Full duration of original effects No effect if target is not suffering from Bio or Miasma effects inflicted by you.

[stone cosmos]

Oh, sad I was gonna invest in bard lol

[tender venture]

its not bad

just play it and see if you like it

[modest igloo]

world first clear of TEA had a bard on it

[worn flume]

you very well might enjoy it, don't let the opinions of a few people on a discord decide that for you

[honest anvil]

cause dungeon is irrelevant is my take but ye, brd bane when?

[solid fog]

is there a mouse with 4 buttons instead of 1 million

[quasi ice]

i had this issue just now, unsure on how to fix it o.o

does anyone know a solution to this >< sorry

never happened before to me

[solid fog]

i would say reinstall but yeah

restart pc

try again

check internet

[stone cosmos]

lel black magic wands are so tiny

[honest anvil]

only the earlier ones

[stone cosmos]

they get bigger?

[honest anvil]

[honest anvil]

[stone cosmos]

Oh

[warm snow]

Arr tried to do one handers

Then they stopped immediately in hw

Leviathan had the final one handed wands iirc

[tender venture]

and levi

and moggle as well

[warm snow]

.

[tender venture]

oh wait i meant titan

[honest anvil]

the one bot didnt have ^

[tender venture]

[warm snow]

Titan and moogle were both before leviathan

[ruby lagoon]

hi! which home world should I choose as a new player in elemental server?

[warm snow]

Doesn't matter

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[tender venture]

this is big too

[thorn thicket]

And irony is, they sell two glamour pieces on the mog station that you can’t even use after 50

[ruby lagoon]

ohh so it means I still can meet other players from different home world?

[warm snow]

Yes

[thorn thicket]

As long as they’re on the same data center

[warm snow]

You're just locked to your home world for free company(guild) and selling shit on the market board

[thorn thicket]

Also if you’re AUS/NZ/OCE remember, they’ll be adding the OCE datacenter around 6.1-ish

[ruby lagoon]

im still unfamiliar with this but does this affects me a lot in terms of market economy?

[warm snow]

Not really

You can only sell in your home world

[ruby lagoon]

Im from SEA and someone I know is on tonberry

[thorn thicket]

You can go to other servers to buy stuff if prices on yours are too high

[warm snow]

You can buy from any world you can visit on your data center

[thorn thicket]

Yea, just remember that Elemental is predominately Japanese, best bet would be to get on Tonberry for an easier time finding English speaking groups

[ruby lagoon]

thats what I have also heard but unfortunately tonberry is not accepting new characters

[thorn thicket]

As I remember seeing JP having an extra tag on their party finder posts saying “JP ONLY” due to language barriers

[warm snow]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[warm snow]

!status tonberry

[zinc orbit]

Information

Tonberry is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

[thorn thicket]

Yea, just got to wait until night

Like late late night

[ruby lagoon]

ill just do this for now and see what happens

thanks a lot!

[gray fern]

Hey everyone I am new to the game.
The new expension comes out in December. With a new race. Will i be able to create a character with this new race without buying the expension pack?

[modest igloo]

if you own shadowbringers yes

if not, no

[boreal tree]

What's your efficient way of farming poetics? OUTSIDE the dailies, roulettes, MSQ, Tales

ARF? (Aetherochemical Research Facility)

[formal condor]

hunt train maybe

[boreal tree]

Those are scheduled, yeah; and one day people just do it - while I'm minding my own business.

What I would like to know is which one you can spam, albeit bored of

Eureka is probably a slog fest

[noble bobcat]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/881874396283809833/911954631553323018/unknown.png

[honest anvil]

eureka takes a while to get going but once in motion and if your goal is poetics, it’s fast

[noble bobcat]

does anyone know how to fix this

[copper sonnet]

Do you have to do the Orbonne Monastery quest (City of Lost Angels) in order to get the Bozja quest?

Been stuck in the duty finder for like 1 hour and still not found a group

[honest anvil]

you do

[boreal tree]

I'll just slog with dailies

AND then ARF

Getting in Eureka ughhh

[boreal aurora]

so lvling desynth is not worth it?

[honest anvil]

takes it easy .. burning out on a relic grind is real and not worth it

[boreal tree]

You started it

[honest anvil]

desynth can get you nice stuff; but it’s a long process to max them so take it easy

[boreal aurora]

yea its annoying and i dont know what stuff to buy need a guide

[boreal tree]

I will farm my poetics + bvuilding my relations with ARR beast tribes.

[boreal tree]

Apparently I'm stil NEUTRAL and after that is RECOGNIZED

Naniiii

[warm snow]

Arr

Arr says fuck you

[honest anvil]

most just desynth dungeon drops and exchance excess poetics/ extreme totems for gears to desynth

with bacon broth and tinker calm to boost

[boreal tree]

Thanks Kat

I need about 4,500 poetics

Kat, with collectables for CUL; I cannot for the life of me reach 400 collectability; on my level 68 CUL

Do you recommend leveling up max first and then try collectables?

[upbeat dock]

So....my update keeps crashing

What can I do

[left whale]

idk, try the ff14launcher, a 3rd party launcher fyi

[sleek needle]

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[midnight grotto]

what's a security token?

[low vault]

Alright consort of gamers, answer a small brain question for me

[knotty elk]

two factor authentication, a code from a 3rd party token app for more secure logins

[low vault]

The code they gave me to redeem the preorder bonus items months ago is the same code they just gave me now that the preorder has been billed

Is this how things should be?

[grim cypress]

is there any way to sort the items by name or something from the vndors/guild suppliers

[midnight grotto]

👍 okay thank u

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you cut down time spent gathering stuff in diadem?
I don't want to use MB but I need a lot of mats
I've already stocked up on cordials too

[boreal tree]

I asked them same with SE some time ago.

Mayhaps it will help.

[low vault]

@boreal tree Helps a bit, I dont remember what the process was during shadowbringers. Such is the problem with doing a five minute task once every three years lmfao

[boreal tree]

LMAO! 😂

This is my first

And will be on annual leave from work form 7,8 and 9 December

Should be a blast.

[low vault]

Asking a buddy of mine as well to see what he says, he's been playing since ARR released so he oughta know more

and hell yea

[spice kraken]

is there a dyeable version of this helmet?

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you cut down time spent gathering stuff in diadem?
I don't want to use MB but I need a lot of mats
I've already stocked up on cordials too

[low vault]

I had taken the 19th to the 22nd off initially but my boss was instantly reasonable and shifted my paid time off to the 3rd to 7th

[boreal tree]

A buddy of mine STOPPED at ARR and someone gifted him Endwalker and now he has HW, STorm and SBringers to catch up too

HAHAHAHAHAAH

[boreal tree]

Amen!!!

[low vault]

it was funny af

[spice kraken]

go chat somewhere else people

[low vault]

hey now im about to follow up with someone

@leaden ginkgo are you using it for crafting mats or just sellin' em? cuz its a simple solution but any time I need more stuff quickly I just grab a friend or put up a party finder request

[boreal tree]

Just do it on slow times; it's dead brain farming

[leaden ginkgo]

crafting mats

[boreal tree]

Miles better if your BOT and MIN are level 80.

Level them to together.

[low vault]

if youre on aether I can honestly help you tomorrow if you wanted to do the friend option

[boreal tree]

Help me farm Poetics instead for my anima

[cursive ridge]

lvl 80 job gear was available from 5.0, right?

then what is the point of level 80 430 craftable weapons

[umbral dune]

speaking about diadem, perception is any useful cus they can not be HQ and the new perception, gatherer's boon, would it work?

[boreal tree]

no, it won't work; and so far, I have not heard or seen any HQ items when you smack a rock

Or a tree

[umbral dune]

i know they cant be HQ but perception can still be used for breakpoint?

[boreal tree]

That part, Imp, apologies, not quite sure.

RE: fishing

It's basically RNG huh? When you PRAY to get a collectable

To all fishers.

[thorny yoke]

Little question, what will happen to augmenting crafted gear like Exarchic or Neo-Ishgardian gear when allegory tomestones are removed

will the rain thing be bought with poetics or something else

[honest anvil]

? fishing is rng on rng on rng but to just, turn on Collect to do FSH collectables?

[boreal tree]

The fish wouldn't bite!

[honest anvil]

well that’s the rng part

🍀

[boreal tree]

You and your shiny book

I need 4,500 poetics now actually; I'll slog through; don't worry. I'm just bitching on the side.

[honest anvil]

i wanna say poetics but deepshadow gears got move to nuts exchange soo .. ig, unknown for sure atm

[grim cypress]

what decides the quality of an item in crafting/cooking etc

I see it go from good, excellent normal, but no idea how that works

[honest anvil]

those are just, random potential bonuses

[smoky scroll]

hey, is there a way to check in with my squadron w/o having to travel to the barracks all the time or setting a timer manually?

[honest anvil]

good, excellent give more increases to your next quality boost action

[grim cypress]

wait thore are random?

dang

[honest anvil]

duty -> timer has a small squadron check for mission status

[grim cypress]

also Ingham is an asshat

[honest anvil]

fyi excellent will always be followed by Poor

[smoky scroll]

i must have read over that menu item a hundred times. thank you so much!

[honest anvil]

so be prepared

[boreal tree]

Llauqs, promise that - for the ANIMA wepaons, - tHIS STEP I am in right now is the only painful one?

The collection of the unidentifiable stuff

[umbral dune]

the light farming can be boring if you cant find a party but at least you unsync everything, these poetics are all sync

[chrome lava]

When pulling packs is it better to ranged poke, aoe when you get close, keep running or just run up to them aoe then keep running

[boreal tree]

At the very least when I'm done with these unidentifiable stuff, I will only farm for ONE thing

[honest anvil]

i mean, any steps where you actively farm poetics will be painful if you farm it …

cause that’s the nature of farming

[boreal tree]

Now it's 4 different things, x 10 each + 4 different x 4 of each

[boreal tree]

Believe me, coming from Destiny 2, I at least get to see people AND go to other places;

[boreal tree]

Noted, Imperator.

[honest anvil]

4 different things are mostly for flavours .. later on it’s 50 of the same thing for example which is .. just as farm-y

[boreal tree]

Noted, the clusters, SOON.

At least it;s already end game that time.

[umbral dune]

just be sure the tank is the first to grab aggro, you can be safe and stop to aim aoe then continue running @chrome lava

[grim cypress]

[honest anvil]

you can ^

[warm snow]

If it doesn't have a big UNTRADEABLE at the top, you can buy it

[grim cypress]

ah you can do it on the market board rigght?

[cursive ridge]

or BINDING

[grim cypress]

no market board for me sadly

[split dust]

how do i make gil with gathering only?

[grim cypress]

welp, leveling culi is going to be a nightmare for now

[cursive ridge]

it is a very easy gather from lower la noscea

everything past level 15-20 in crafting comes from gathering

[queen fern]

If you do your ARR and HW Beast Tribe quests, you can buy them with currency to save on poetics.

[grim cypress]

so I gotta go for botanist?

[cursive ridge]

yes, botanist has the most stuff for CUL

you can get all jobs on one character

and it's advisable to level all crafters at once

so you can share gear

and toss the one you dont need anymore

plus all crafters except culinarian are intertwined

[queen fern]

Well, you can still craft culinarian gear with ARM, WVR, and LTW.

[grim cypress]

guess I'll level each one to 15 first

[amber edge]

Howd u get unidentifiable bone and adamantite francesca

Unidentified Bone can either be purchased for 300 Allied Seals, 3 Amal'jaa currency, 6 Vanu Vanu currency, 18 Moogle currency, 6 Vath currency, 3 Gordian Precision Bolts, or 150 poetics from the corresponding vendors.

[amber edge]

Which vendors

[queen fern]

Uh... your Hunt Billmaster, the Amal'jaa, Vanu Vanu, Moogle, and Vath vendor from ranking up the Beast Tribe quests, and Hismena in Idyllshire?

The Adamantite Francescas can be purchased for 4000 GC seals each.

[amber edge]

OK thx

[brisk raptor]

bit of an odd question probably, but what's the "best way" to launch the game? I currently have it through steam, should I instead uninstall from steam and install via a different source?

[faint flare]

You MUST launch through steam

If you're a steam user

[meager sigil]

How can I rearrange glam plates? For example if I wanted to move plate #4 to #1?

Also, how do I delete glamour plates?

[brisk raptor]

even thought I have a SE account?

two actually

[faint flare]

If you tied to account to steam then you're a steam user and HAVE to use steam for that account

You can't mix

[brisk raptor]

oh wait nvm. I assumed I got it via steam. But its not in my library

[faint flare]

Your mogstation will tell you if you're steam or not

[brisk raptor]

where would that be. Last time I touched f14 was back in 2019

[faint flare]

!faq mogstation

[mint moss]

What’s the point of leveling up a DOL?

[warm snow]

Gather higher level materials

[brisk raptor]

sorry, i meant where on the site

[mint moss]

So which one should I level first?

[warm snow]

Yes

Well, Fisher is a law unto itself so either one of the others

[meager sigil]

Generally, it's recommended to level all of them together

[modest igloo]

Most people preferred botanist bc of the coffee biscuits leve

That’s gonna change in 6.0

[obsidian patio]

You’d need to completely remake the plate on the new one you want it on to move it.

As for “deleting”, just remove all the items that are equipped to the plate.

[meager sigil]

Alright...

[dim quarry]

which is faster?

[silver ruin]

totally depends if your party is pepega or not

ive have sub 15 min runs for both

generally though matoyas is easier mechs wise

[dim quarry]

which would you spam solo for rev tomes?

[silver ruin]

probably matoya just cause people have a lower chance of dying

and dying makes things slow down

[modest igloo]

I prefer pag since MCH go brrr on adds

[silver ruin]

in my exp with pag, people like eating shit and end up with vuln stacks

[modest igloo]

My df groups have been pretty good on crystal idk

[heavy wadi]

I'd spam pag, frankly

usually goes smoother

matoya's is snzz and has a lot of travel time

[drowsy hornet]

What's the glow stick emote and is it available by default?

[modest igloo]

God matoyas relic has been in expert roulette since last year lmao

[faint flare]

The cheer series on mogstation

[heavy wadi]

it's like $5 on mogstation

[drowsy hornet]

ok, so it's a maybe when I upgrade to full account. Thanks

if my que times are less than 10 mins, is it better to level in dungeons than potd?

[faint flare]

You need to own the game

Starter or complete

[stray spruce]

im wondering if i can get the pre order earrings without starting the 30 day membership which is included in the complete edition

because im not lvl 60 yet

[faint flare]

No

Cause you need to own the game

[stray spruce]

😢 okay

[faint flare]

Which means you started the 30 day free time

Trials can't use the preorder code

[stray spruce]

ah i see, that makes sense

thank you 🙂

[rancid onyx]

is there a time limit to redeem the pre order code and get the items?

[stray spruce]

@rancid onyxi heard that if you buy it now, the key can be redeemed at any time

[faint flare]

You can't enter the preorder code after early access ends

[drowsy hornet]

false. You can redeem the pre-order code at any time BEFORE IT EXPIRES

which is on 31st of March 2022

and you will receive the pre-order bonuses

contacted support to make sure

[plucky plank]

hi is there a GC seals to marketboard calcuator/ comparison table?

tired of checking1 by 1 haha

[limber creek]

Just curious, does anyone know if the next grades of materia will be added right at launch?

Or only when 6.05 is released

[faint flare]

If there is another grade it's immediate

[limber creek]

I would assume there would be right? New grades have been added every xpac

[faint flare]

That's what many assume

The stat squish is the only concern to throw off the assumption

[old crypt]

Does anyone know how long till we get NG+ for EW according to past expansion NG+ releases?

[leaden ginkgo]

How long would it take to get Elemental Armor +1 from Euerka

[honest anvil]

looong .. sooo long

you’re looking at 2 weeks of no life-ing from scratch

very possibly longer

[autumn jewel]

Do people still join learning parties for old extremes? Or would I be better off having a pre made

[honest anvil]

but i can very much underestimate your no-life-ing-ness

[boreal storm]

You make a learning party, if people join so be it

[leaden ginkgo]

well I am at lvl 14, still will take two weeks?

[honest anvil]

take .. 2 hours off the 2 weeks then

[modest ravine]

is combat the only way to increase spirit bond of gear?

[spare scroll]

it depends on what times you play at

[honest anvil]

if you’re rich then it’s possible to cut some time by power buying for the later stages

[spare scroll]

but if you're playing when nms are popping you can probably get it in maybe a week or less depending on how active you are

especially if you can drop a bit of gil for the armour

[boreal storm]

For battle jobs, yes

[leaden ginkgo]

You must talk about Kirin's Osode ritght

[honest anvil]

that’s the highly recommended initial investment

[spare scroll]

idr the names for other jobs but it's the overall with elemental bonuses

[modest igloo]

Took me about 50 hours

I forgot you needed to grind a relic

[honest anvil]

but later stages you’ll need to collect 50 of something …that step is looooong without gil

[modest igloo]

Had to go back to pagos to light farm

[leaden ginkgo]

I got the fending version of Kirin

[honest anvil]

50 hours / 3 hours a day = slightly over 2 weeks

[modest igloo]

Mnemes yeah

[honest anvil]

and i’m assuming Paragon is no newb to eureka so .. if you’re new, it’ll be longer

[spare scroll]

it really depends on how active your server's instances are

[honest anvil]

spoiler kk

[plush hound]

Unfortunately not because so far it's been fairly random and not structured.

[modest igloo]

Yeah I had a homie and mr happy guides

[spare scroll]

I know people who have done 1-60 in about 20-25 hours

but if NMs aren't popping then well rip

[honest anvil]

i mean, that’s just the leveling part ..

[spare scroll]

the other stuff isn't going to take you 30 hours

[honest anvil]

the 50 action part is brutal

[spare scroll]

unless you have no gil to spare for the logograms at all

[viral beacon]

is it possible to upgrade an existing trial acc using the steam code you get when you buy the game on steam?

[honest anvil]

up to you to spend gil at your own consideration but ye ~ gil does help that part .. a lot

[viral beacon]

i got this error

[modest igloo]

Logograms were pretty cheap and you get a few thousand Gil from lockboxes

[viral beacon]

no service acc was created

[umbral dune]

your trial acc is steam?

[viral beacon]

nope

steam doesn't have trial accs

[honest anvil]

but anyhow, it’ll be a process .. the result is nice though so good luck o/

[boreal storm]

It does

[solemn jewel]

It does actually

[umbral dune]

steam has demo

[boreal storm]

Like Second one

[viral beacon]

ok never knew

so

[viral beacon]

.

the square enix trial

[faint flare]

Yee

[boreal storm]

Yeah you still can

[faint flare]

Non steam trial to steam is the only time you can swap

[oblique delta]

Regarding their announcement for Viera new hairstyles. Are they getting all of the hairstyles that you can obtain in game or just a few of them ?

[solemn jewel]

I don't think they specified how many/if they get all

[viral beacon]

so

why do i get this error then

[boreal storm]

What are you clicking

[solemn jewel]

Don't try via upgrade try via adding a license

[viral beacon]

upgrade from trial and all the steps

like entering code, accepting tos

and next

[unreal pagoda]

making sure, scholar fey illumination and dissipation increase GCD heal potency only right?

[umbral dune]

yep

[fluid osprey]

whats the best way to level crafters to 80 if u have tons of gils? is it ishgard restoration for all levels

[viral beacon]

so not this?

[chilly veldt]

Help

[viral beacon]

@solemn jewel

[umbral dune]

@chilly veldt exit the game, update driver, restart cus that look like hardware problem

[solemn jewel]

Well prolly not if it doesn't work

[fickle radish]

yea from 21-80 just spam ishgard grade 4 recipes and get the top bracket of xp reward

[amber edge]

Is it possible to get the coming into its own merchant goods on the market board

[steel aspen]

what is NG+? what is the purpose?

[heavy wadi]

just to replay story content

[steel aspen]

any extra rewards?

[heavy wadi]

it does not give you rewards again or anything like that

no

[steel aspen]

ah ok

ty

[heavy wadi]

it's purely to revisit story

[dark copper]

i abandoned a duty because it wasn't going well. will i be reported?

[heavy wadi]

no

unless you were a dick

[dark copper]

i didn't talk at all.

but someone told me under the new rules that's reportable behavior

and if u have 3 strikes u get banned

[warm snow]

There's no changes to rules regarding that type of behaviour

The only rule changes were to what can go on party finder

[boreal storm]

It’s the same penalty system

[upper tree]

Will Releavtion token gear be available for endwalker? They are removing the tokens rightt?

[knotty elk]

it's not reportable per se, but still kinda bad manners

[warm snow]

No

[upper tree]

Oh, no

[heavy wadi]

the tomestones will be removed and replaced with poetics but the gear will remain

[warm snow]

You'll be able to buy augmented Cryptlurker gear with poetics

[upper tree]

Ok, I can buy that gear using poetics

[warm snow]

Same as the last expansion

[upper tree]

right?

[dark copper]

no one in my party knew how to do the portal thing in the bossfight with moenbryda

we wiped 6 times

[upper tree]

Ok, I thought you said gear will not be accessible lol

[warm snow]

They're removing revelation tokens

Because there's no more revelations

[upper tree]

I shouldn't farm anymore lol

[knotty elk]

should have taken a moment to explain to everyone then but oh well, nothing to do now

[upper tree]

What will happen to old poetics gear? It will cost less?

[boreal storm]

No

[umbral dune]

in such case, you should try to vote for abandon, if it goes through then no penalty for the whole party

[glossy forge]

Aether is kill?

[main yoke]

[main yoke]

[limber creek]

DDoSers are DDoSing in preparation to DDoS the launch of endwalker

[main yoke]

if there's a login queue that means it's back up right?

[modest ravine]

hmm which order should i join

[drowsy wharf]

I’m back in the login screen. But says my character wasn’t properly logged out so idk.

[simple ingot]

Japanese servers are fine

[main yoke]

maybe just NA servers then ;;

[drowsy wharf]

Immortal Flame.

[limber creek]

This happens every few months, I think the last time it happened was February

[peak tapir]

this is absolutely terrifying to look at

[thorny cape]

Same here, 400+

[modest ravine]

do they give different benefits?

[primal relic]

Hey, did something happen? I got booted and now I’m in a 585 que.

[primal relic]

Oh ty, I thought I d/ced and had to check if my net was the problem.

[ancient heron]

wtf is happening man

[main yoke]

yep, same, since usually my net is the problem LOL

[limber creek]

If there is any blame for anything, it’s probably always IT Security making changes to firewalls… just remember this

[main yoke]

oh no it broke again

[drowsy wharf]

RIP

[peak tapir]

nevermind

[restive crow]

Good, I'm not going crazy, thank you for confirming everyone lol

[drowsy wharf]

[drowsy wharf]

Oh well. Back to Ghost of Tsushima.

[ancient heron]

https://tenor.com/view/earth-apocalypse-world-end-armageddon-gif-13863812

the servers right now

[sterile stone]

Ultros dead

[peak tapir]

MAN

[drowsy wharf]

Reminds me of New World launch day lmfao.

[glossy forge]

lolol

[ancient heron]

but like can someone explain to me wtf is happening with servers right now

[sterile stone]

server machine broke

[ancient heron]

the what

[brittle rampart]

Shit's broke, come back later

[drowsy wharf]

They dog tired boss. Dog tired.

[rain widget]

oh my

something happeend

[sterile stone]

Server machine broke mate

[rain widget]

I thought it was quicklauncher

[hot eagle]

could be something broke, ddos or something else

[meager sigil]

Ishgard Restoration is for levels 20 and up, right?

[ancient heron]

okay so I heard something about the devs pushing the limits of the server so they could handle the wave of people coming in, does that mean that the server finally broke from the stress this induced

[sterile stone]

50

you need to finish Heavensward MSQ

[meager sigil]

Not when you unlock it, I mean for leveling crafters and gatherers.

[sterile stone]

idk mate, just wait a bit and see if there is any official announcement

[umbral dune]

10 for DoL, 15 for DoH

[sterile stone]

oh yeah you only need 20 for DoH and DoL

[meager sigil]

I see. After you reach 20 on DoH/DoL, you can use Ishgard Restoration to level them all the way up to max, right?

[sterile stone]

should have made that clear I guess

yep

[grim cypress]

do you ever get armor from crafting jobs that's glamour worthy? or use them overall?

[meager sigil]

Yeah, apologies for the bad phrasing

[wraith gust]

hello, is it possible to get housing ? ive looked forever and i have a ton of stuff in storage for it? is there a sure way to get a house?

[grim cypress]

for any other reason?

[sterile stone]

there are tons of glam that is craft only

[sinful holly]

just be lucky

[sterile stone]

yes, if you are lucky or dedicated

[grim cypress]

I needed this, thanks

[wraith gust]

like right place right time?

[meager sigil]

Housing is a bitch.

[grim cypress]

for a while I thought I was leveling weaving for no reason

[sinful holly]

basically, they dont call it housing savage for nothing

[wraith gust]

do i just got to camp out ?

[meager sigil]

I want the shark mount so I'mma level fisher

[wraith gust]

im still newer overall, finishing SHB patch quests

[drowsy wharf]

Leves are faster imo. I got mining and btn to 80 on just leves in 2 days.

[meager sigil]

Damn. Well, I'll keep that in mind

[umbral dune]

leves are limited

[sterile stone]

so you can jump right in there and start placard clicking

[wraith gust]

says no access

[grim cypress]

I was gonna ask that, what's the fastest way of leveing DoH jobs

[sterile stone]

https://discord.gg/housingalerts try this

[drowsy wharf]

Yea. But if you have 100 leves saved like I did then there shouldn’t be an issue. I still had 20 left over.

[simple ingot]

Feels like squid game being 1048 que

[meager sigil]

Doing levequests can also get you the extra EXP from the Challenge Log, no?

[drowsy wharf]

Yes

[meager sigil]

Is that only happening on one server?

[primal relic]

So first time for me, does this happen often? Do I just wait, is server goin to restart?

[drowsy wharf]

Diadem is ok too. But it’s mindlessly boring imo.

You make more money doing it. But if money isn’t your goal then I’d do leves.

[fiery owl]

https://tenor.com/view/miłego-dnia-milego-dnia-have-a-nice-day-einen-schönen-tag-noch-que-tenga-un-lindo-día-gif-21161994

[grim cypress]

sooo, leves for crafting jjobs?

[fiery owl]

just wait like 5-10 mins

[primal relic]

What does that mean lol

Okay ty

[drowsy wharf]

Tbh I haven’t started leveling my crafters. But I was told the beast tribes are the best way.

[leaden ginkgo]

Why did the servers crash?

[drowsy wharf]

Cuz the dog broke the table.

[simple ingot]

Guessing high volume of traffic

12pm in est

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean where did all the traffic come from?

[grim cypress]

eh I'll bother with craft jobs after 60th levle

[leaden ginkgo]

It doesn't normally do this

[drowsy wharf]

I’d work on dol first then start crafters.

[leaden ginkgo]

its prob either ddos, server being tested, or just straight up influx of people

either way

we wait

[drowsy wharf]

And wait we will.

[leaden ginkgo]

👍

[gritty oracle]

Small question: the "current year" is year 46 of the Garlean calendar, right?

[grim cypress]

servers crashed?

[drowsy wharf]

Guess I’ll go gpu shopping /sigh

[frosty badger]

Hello, will the chocobo training sessions reset to 0 if I retire the chocobo?

[gritty oracle]

I think the training sessions are per chocobo, so yes.

[drowsy hornet]

any way tp cancel a macro once it's going

[faint flare]

Use another macro

[gritty oracle]

there's a keybind to cancel macro, but I have no idea where it's originally bound. You'll have to check keybinds .

[frosty badger]

So is it better to use all training sessions before retiring?

[twilit arch]

it doesn't matter

[gritty oracle]

If you retire a chocobo, you can't race with it anymore, so I'd say only use time/money training if you want to seriously race

[twilit arch]

training sessions have no affect on the child that will be produced, assuming you intend to breed after retiring

[frosty badger]

Yes

I'm still pridegee level 1

[twilit arch]

Training sessions only affect the bird you're training

[umbral dune]

that low, reach 40 then retire

[twilit arch]

so again, it doesn't matter if you use them up or not in regards to retiring/breeding

they're something to think about while you're still using the bird to race

[drowsy hornet]

found it, it's under System and it looks like it's not bound to anything. I think I will just make another macro that only echo instead of binding it to a key

[gritty oracle]

I personally bound it to shift K, since K is macros for me.

[chilly veldt]

The game keeps charshing

[wraith gust]

what have people found to be the fastest farm for the current event? anything specific?

[frosty badger]

I'm already maxed out R60

[gritty oracle]

t2 on blu

[faint flare]

Blue mage turn two

[lilac mason]

turn 2 with blue mage

[wraith gust]

as a newer player this confuses me lol

[frosty badger]

With 45 training sessions left

[gritty oracle]

The second turn of bahamut (a lv50 raid) on the blue mage class

[sinful holly]

^

[umbral dune]

there are R300 in this game, R60 is low @frosty badger

[drowsy hornet]

full party of Blue mages

[wraith gust]

oh i dont have that unlocked i don think

the blue mage

[lilac mason]

unlocking quest is in limsa

[wraith gust]

id have to level it in time yea?

[lilac mason]

also once you get blue mage ask someone here to powerlevel you

[faint flare]

It takes 3 hours to cap it

[lilac mason]

blue mage gets EXP from killing overworld mobs

[faint flare]

By being boosted by a friend

[gritty oracle]

then I'd say spam prae and go cook, do chores etc while sitting in cutscenes.

[wraith gust]

ah, darn i dont have that time lol

[modest ravine]

how do i exchange for Chocobo insurance?

[faint flare]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts, ''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest ''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.

Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[faint flare]

2nd liuentant

[craggy tinsel]

Also what server(s) just had issues

I've seen a few mentions of it

[uncut quarry]

what's the point of the gerolt masterworks arms when the ironworks gear is simply better?

they cost the same amount of tomes too

[boreal storm]

Older poetics gear also glam

[uncut quarry]

ah

[warped ferry]

If I open the fish guide, it says "Fish Caught: number"

Is that the total amount of unique fish I've caught? or just the total amount in general?

[uncut quarry]

now that u mention the the gerolt masterworks lance just looks plain badass

[umbral dune]

i bought the entire 240 set to glam my 270 cus it looks good so there are reason they still exist

[amber edge]

And know what that sword is

Amd how to get it?

[fresh gate]

That’s Eleos, it comes from the final Shadowbringers 5.0 trial Extreme

[amber edge]

OK thx

[fresh gate]

So you need level 80 to use/glam it

[leaden ginkgo]

So what is a good level to go into Pagos?/

[dusty shard]

can lvl 60 use master recipe 5 ?

[faint flare]

5 and 6 are lv70

It's 2 books per level cap

[boreal storm]

You can’t even buy them on trial

[uncut quarry]

what is a wondrous tail?

[faint flare]

!faq wonderoustails

[zinc orbit]

Wondrous Tails

Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.

Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.

Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!

[uncut quarry]

idyllshire is unlocked in heavensward?

[faint flare]

Yes

[uncut quarry]

also why has this suddenly popped up in my challenge log?

didn't have it so far

is it smthn new?

[faint flare]

Stuff gets added to the challenge log as you go on and unlock stuff

[uncut quarry]

ah

[sleek spear]

How can I make the names above other players smaller? Its basically impossible to see whos who in a crowded area, they are way too big

[frozen badge]

Perhaps stupid question, but is it possible to buy subscription with paypal ?

[minor fulcrum]

next week, the 23rd

[lunar nexus]

You can’t directly buy a subscription with PayPal but you can buy Crysta with it to subsequently pay for a subscription

It’s stupid as hell but it is what it is

[worn crag]

is it faster to run fates or raids for the resistance remembers?

[heavy wadi]

do both

[worn crag]

fates inbetween raids?

[heavy wadi]

yeeup

[worn crag]

each raid gives 3 right

[heavy wadi]

nope

just 1

[worn crag]

what

[faint flare]

3

It was buffed

[heavy wadi]

oh, nvm then

[worn crag]

what is the fastest stb raid?

[faint flare]

Rabanstre

[minor fulcrum]

Dont bother doing relic fates when it's rng drop chance

go farm shb fates or smth for shared fate completions instead, more use of time

[faint flare]

It's a good rate

[minor fulcrum]

guess I had shit rng then cause I did 20 and didnt get a single drop

[faint flare]

It was buffed with the raods

[worn crag]

ive gotten 10 from fates so far

what's the best regions for the fates?

[dim quarry]

where can i practice openners? someone that resets my cds?

[grim cypress]

how can I get my item level up to my job level? dungeons? buying from vendors? my current stuff are too low

[raven bolt]

mb?

[faint flare]

Do your job quests

[dim quarry]

market board is your best option

[faint flare]

Your lv50/60/70 quests give you gear for that as entry level

Then you can use tomes

[grim cypress]

no access to MB, I'm at 35 WHM

[dim quarry]

oh and vendors in ishgard, kugane and crystarium

oh

[faint flare]

Story and dungeon

[boreal storm]

Just do dungeons

[faint flare]

And job quests

[grim cypress]

hmm, the next job quest is at 40

[dim quarry]

why cant he use mb?

[grim cypress]

free trial

[faint flare]

Tria

[dim quarry]

oh

[vocal cobalt]

Which classes uses scouting gear

[boreal storm]

Ninja, it says it on the gear

[dusk kelp]

whats the fastest way to get 300 gathering collectables? im trying to get the bnurger king crown

[boreal storm]

They don’t have to be usable

So just grab as many as you can from a node

[worn crag]

i was rotating some nodes the other day in the hinderlands

i probably could have gotten at least 100

[dim quarry]

what 60-70 trials/raids can you jump off straight away?

[elder root]

wdym jump off

[dim quarry]

like kill myself

[elder root]

O12 I think

[dim quarry]

im trying to practice openers and when i mess up i wanna jump off to reset my c/ds

[elder root]

but why

you don't have to jump off

[faint flare]

It resets when you leave

[elder root]

just enter and exit any duty

[faint flare]

So

Just leave

[dim quarry]

i cant exit

says im in combat

[elder root]

wha

don't hit the boss

just literally queue up for an undersized duty

[dim quarry]

then how will i practive openers? o.O

[elder root]

enter

and then leave

[faint flare]

On dummies

[dim quarry]

ohhhhh

i get ya

[faint flare]

In the world

[elder root]

yeah what were you practicing on lol

[dim quarry]

the actual boss

[elder root]

jesus

[boreal storm]

What boss

[dim quarry]

well i tried a couple

[elder root]

you could also do stone sea sky

[dim quarry]

i was trying to find one i could jump off

[split dust]

there is any reward for completing this?

[elder root]

cool bike mount

[faint flare]

Yes

[boreal storm]

2 seater bike

[split dust]

Hmm, okie, will look for a guide then

[elder root]

that's hell you're walking into btw

this bike ain't for the faint of heart

so prepare yourself for a lot of pain

[faint flare]

Rng depending

[split dust]

aw

[elder root]

that and duels

if you don't want to be assfucked by rng

but the whole process of duels will assfuck you anyway so

try to have all 5 steps of your relic quests open so you can farm them at the same time at the very least

[split dust]

do i have to go to zadnor?

i hate that place

[frozen badge]

At least is possible, thank you for answer

[faint flare]

Yes

[elder root]

a lot

I think I had to run dalraida like 50 times

oh it was 28 actually

[pliant star]

So Ive been trying to sort out my keybindings and Im curious, what do you guys have your aoe abilities on?

[elder root]

still very mentally damaging tho

[split dust]

this is my sam bar

i like it

remaped the 2 buttons on my mouse to be shift and ctrl

[elder root]

I have 5 for aoe starter, and alt q/e for aoe finisher

don't ask why

[winged scroll]

someone got a training dummie position xd? I can't find them

[faint flare]

Summerford farms

[winged scroll]

thanks !

[pliant star]

I see I got an mmo mouse and for some reason I just cant get used to it. I used to have Q E R for aoe on my RDM, worked quite good. Issue is if theres more then 3 aoe abilities tho (have V for melee aoe)

[willow marlin]

If I have an EW early access code, do I need a regular EW code?

[solemn jewel]

Yes but that code you receive shortly before December 7th

[willow marlin]

ah ok thanks

[sleek spear]

I usually have most AOE and single target on letters around WASD, DOTs on Shift+letters and Buffs/debuffs on numbers

[pliant star]

tbh I might just go back to my deathadder elite 2 button mouse and have MMO mouse as a backup, this just feels wrong. And dont feel like you really need that many buttons for FFXIV

Hm that sounds like a good setup

[faint flare]

You need enough to fill 3 hotbars

[sleek spear]

I dont think I will ever be a healer in this game tho, Since I am too used to the addons I used in WoW for healing that this game just doesnt have

[vocal cobalt]

Is it possible to ask other players who are blacksmiths to craft items for u

[faint flare]

Yes

[vocal cobalt]

Thank god

[faint flare]

If you give them the items they'll generally do it

[craggy tinsel]

Can confirm, I'll craft whatever the hell you need for free so long as you give me the needed materials

[vocal cobalt]

I am in eu server

I wish I was in the same server as u

[faint flare]

Just shout in limsa or something

[craggy tinsel]

You do have the primal role

[pliant star]

Yeah have that already. Might just keep using most of mouse for like, cooldowns etc, and revert to my original keybindings on other things

[craggy tinsel]

but yeh just shout in a major city

[unborn geode]

Linkshell question:

Is there a way to stay in the Linkshell chat as if it were party or FC chat rather than having to input a command ./l everytime

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes, just like FC or party chat, you can click enter

./l8

./cwl3

[unborn geode]

thank you so much!!!!!

[gilded belfry]

is the game fun on the free trial?

[sleek needle]

Yes

Different between free trial and regular is mostly just social aspects

[leaden ginkgo]

You get all of ARR + HW content, I'd say thats a good amount of fun

[sleek needle]

Apart from that you're playing the same game as everyone else, ofc won't have access past HW

[leaden ginkgo]

I'd say even as free trial you can experience the social aspect

[gilded belfry]

and what about the no pvp party and trading cap and stuff?

[sleek needle]

I'm talking about the limitations

Which are in large social ones

Click Here to see the Free Trial limitations

[gilded belfry]

can i play with others if i have the trial?

[leaden ginkgo]

You can join parties but you cant create ones

[sleek needle]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

You'd have to be invited into one and then get party lead

[sleek needle]

2nd link for the limitations

[leaden ginkgo]

You might think you can't do housing with free trial due to gil limit, but thanks to house sharing you can

Just wanted to throw that out

[gilded belfry]

so ive looked on the internet a bit and its saying that you have to buy the base game and shadowbringers are they both a subscription?

[pale birch]

ay yo can i go dungeons unsynced for the anima weapon mission books?

[sleek needle]

!faq buy

[zinc orbit]

[sleek needle]

You'd want to wait for endwalker release as it's just in ~2 weeks

[leaden ginkgo]

If you mean the third step of Anima, you can run the dungeon with any weapon you like but you need to equip the relic AS YOU LEAVE

[slate arrow]

The base game comes with 30 free play days

[sleek needle]

The substription is for the game, not per expansion

[gilded belfry]

why should i wait for that, do you not get it automaticaly if your subscribed?

[leaden ginkgo]

If you buy EW, you will get it and previous expansions when it releases

[sleek needle]

No, you'll have to buy endwalker if you want to play it

[pale birch]

um so i can challenge the lvl 16 tam tara deepcroft with a lvl 60 paladin with the relic and it counts as complete right

[sleek needle]

You will get shb and sb along with endwalker once it releases tho

[leaden ginkgo]

Are you referring to the HW or ARR relic?

[pale birch]

arr

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah

[sleek needle]

So either starter + endwalker or complete edition after 7th

[leaden ginkgo]

You need to kill the boss with the relic weapon

Thats enough

Book step yeah?

[willow sandal]

are warring triad trials included in the roulette?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

[pale birch]

yep yep

[pale birch]

okey, ty for info

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, you just need to kill the mobs in the book with the relic

Any other mob in the dungeon can be killed with anything

You can also bring a friend to make runs faster

Maybe a DNC, since good DPS and mobility

[gilded belfry]

Oh ok so you pay 60 bucks for the full game and then you have to pay 13 a month to keep having the full game?

[leaden ginkgo]

Not the full game, the game entirely

If you buy the game you cant go back to playing free content with the same account

[gilded belfry]

ok

[leaden ginkgo]

You can wait for a sale and grab the complete edition, I assume it should include EW after that releases

[gilded belfry]

Bro this payment system is already melting my brain lol

[warm snow]

You buy a car and buy gas once a month

Every 2 years there's an optional but highly recommended huge expansion

[boreal storm]

And the sub fee is like 40 cents a day for the cheapest option

[sleek needle]

Buy the entry or the 180 days sub

No real reason to have standard sub but if you want it 🤷

[sweet leaf]

what might be the reason that my macros sometimes randomly have their icons reverted for no apparent reason?

[runic parrot]

So Ik materia is important but is it worth getting into it or putting it on stuff if it’s just the ones you get given in large amounts from questing or is it alright to just wait until later in the game

[warm snow]

If you're using an item it needs to be in your inventory

[warm snow]

It's only really important at endgame

[sweet leaf]

yeah they never leave my inventory unless they're equipped, but it's something that doesn't happen all the time, only spontaneously.

[clever ether]

Is 130 max ilvl at 50?

[onyx kiln]

since EW got delayed, does that also mean that any pre-order physical version of the game will be postponed as well?

[sleek needle]

Yes

Well arr relic last stage is probably a few ilvls higher 🤷

[clever ether]

Thanks alot!

Also is SAM dex based?

Not str?

[sleek needle]

Sam uses str

[white tapir]

I noticed in ezoria collection the bonewicca wisper jacket we can get wit the irregular tombstone's some of the pics dont have the back red frills on it can you enable or disable it?

[sleek needle]

"Of striking" gear for sam

[sleek needle]

It's dyeable, tho the inside red doesn't dye

[white tapir]

yea but like i dont see the back red frills it says the same jacket, but maybe its not set right on the site?

[sleek needle]

Ah, the gloves are covering it it seems

On the right one

You can use long gloves to make your sleeves disappear

[cosmic juniper]

What’s the fastest way to farm the tomestones for the treasure trove event?

[grim maple]

bahamut turn 2 blu party

[cosmic juniper]

Oh what if I don’t have a blue mage leveled up

I’m kinda new my highest character is like a lv75 samurai

[grim maple]

occasionally there'll probably be some generic DPS slots instead of blu specifically where u can join in

its doable without blu at all its just much much faster with it

[sleek needle]

Duty finder coils t2 is fine as well

[austere meadow]

Is sector 10 the only airship to give black clay? I'm not getting ANY from there.

[onyx kiln]

yes

[austere meadow]

Dang, that sucks. Thanks.

[vivid karma]

Can I get irregular tomestones by running the dungeons solo unsynced?

[astral cobalt]

is it possible to join another eureka ?

[boreal storm]

No, they must be synced

[vivid karma]

Rip

[onyx kiln]

can probably find it of the marketboard but it will most likely be expensive

[vivid karma]

If I don’t have blue mage what’s the fastest way to get them?

[slate arrow]

Rival wings was the preferred method but I'm not sure if it's still active

Otherwise it's just joining a BLU party

[sleek needle]

Or just duty finder it

[delicate ivy]

The 3 TT cards from the moogle event aren't showing up for me, is it locked behind something or am I just not looking in the right place?

[slate arrow]

Don't use DF for coils

[sleek needle]

At least in the beginning there was lots of people using DF for it

[slate arrow]

Which cards?

[boreal storm]

They need certain progress, the site explains exactly

[ionic swallow]

whats the difference between aether primal and crystal like is there a preferred one to go to? or do they have different timezones?

[heavy wadi]

there is no difference

[sleek needle]

Any are fine, no big difference

[ionic swallow]

ok

[boreal storm]

It’s the same deal as Chaos and Light

[outer mural]

there's minor community differences, crystal has more focus on RP on some servers

[sleek needle]

(aether?) has more streamers so going to get congested quicker

[ionic swallow]

so primal would be better?

[outer mural]

but you won't miss out on RP or anything if you're on aether / primal anyway

whatever works for you, the differnce between each are very small

[sleek needle]

Yea crystal is fine if you don't want to rp as well

[ionic swallow]

ok so primal is more in the middle of like rp and streamers?

[outer mural]

not really

they're all the same except crystal has some more rp centric stuff

[heavy wadi]

the differences are minimal

[outer mural]

aether has streamers but that's not super relevant unless you're really into those streamers or they get on again at some point, which they haven't for a sec

[warm snow]

There's a specific world in aether thats popular for rp

[boreal storm]

And it’s not like everyone on Crystal rps

[outer mural]

yeah

[warm snow]

Otherwise it really doesn't matter

[outer mural]

so really just go with your heart, it genuinely doesn't matter

[ionic swallow]

ok thank you

[meager herald]

when you buy endwalker you get all the old dlc right?

[alpine shadow]

yes

[ionic swallow]

yeah but u have to wait

till its released

[sleek needle]

Once it's released yes

Does not include base game

[strange elbow]

Which world is good for role playing ?

[sleek needle]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[warm snow]

Balmung and mateus

[sleek needle]

Balmung and mateus

[outer mural]

if you're on aether then it doesn't really matter, on crystal it's the two just mentioned

[warm snow]

No other dcs have worlds of note

[bleak forge]

Thaumaturge Guild is for the Black Mage class?

[outer mural]

yes

thaumaturge directly evolves into BLM

[sleek needle]

Yea

[bleak forge]

Thank you

[warm snow]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[worn crag]

what is the best place in gyr abania for memories?

[warm snow]

Lochs since its scaled for ilevel 300 and you'll still sync to ilevel 400

[pliant dawn]

Will buying end walker get me shadowbringers as well?

[warm snow]

Yes, when Endwalker releases

[minor fulcrum]

Scathe should never be used unless it's the only thing you can cast right

it seems worthless

[warm snow]

Unless you have to do a lot of movement and don't have any other insta casts

[worn crag]

well im running blu to cheese the fates

[warm snow]

Same shit applies

[minor fulcrum]

im only lvl 16

[warm snow]

!action swiftcast

[zinc orbit]

**Swiftcast** : lvl 18 CNJ THM ACN WHM BLM SMN SCH AST RDM BLU (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Next spell is cast immediately.
Duration: 10s

Powered by XIVAPI

[warm snow]

You'll have this soon

[elder root]

In general you want to remove scathe from the hotbar

[minor fulcrum]

What would you even use swiftcast on, starting fire in encounter?

[warm snow]

You'll get more instant cast tools as you level up

[elder root]

For movement?

[minor fulcrum]

aint much movement in arr

[elder root]

Also when you need to keep up astral fire if you mess up

I mean, you should still get used to using it

[pliant dawn]

So I buy, regular or starter edition, then endwalker

[minor fulcrum]

Ehh, I'm just leveling thm to 30, class isnt very fun rn

[warm snow]

Starter is the base game so yeah

[sleek needle]

Starter + endwalker, yea
