[queen fern]

It lets you gather items while you do other things.

They can also go after some unspoiled and legendary nodes regardless of time of day.

[jade quartz]

They give poor exp and are intended for getting tomestones.

At level 50 for example, the highest exp dungeon is the level 47 Aurum Vale

At level 60, it’s the level 59 Great Gubal Library

[spiral mango]

eh true I forgot that formula… FUCK ME

[limber hound]

Soon we'll be seeing lots of Mt. Glug runs, I guess

for Sages

[honest anvil]

still slow .. like i said, they can help but .. sloow

[jade quartz]

If you garden in your house for example a miner can gather topsoils

[queen fern]

Yes, but you don't have to babysit them and you can do stuff like level other classes.

[spiral mango]

so take ur lvl and subtract 3 ?

[boreal storm]

No

[queen fern]

And as you gear them up, they can get larger and larger amounts of stuff.

[jade quartz]

That’s a really useful retainer gather

[limber hound]

highest not-x0 dungeon

[limber hound]

Unless it's Halatali

[queen fern]

Combat retainers can also go after useful drops that would be a pain in the ass to farm otherwise.

[boreal storm]

Leveling dungeons in expansions are every other lvl

[queen fern]

Like Cubus Flesh.

[honest anvil]

ya, cubus flesh is the shiz o/

[queen fern]

Which is one of the ingredients for Rarefied Syrup, which is one of the most popular and useful collectibles for quickly farming crafter's scrips.

[limber hound]

ah shite

[spiral mango]

okay i understood neither of those replies

[limber hound]

I'm gonna have to level a combat retainer

if that's the case

[boreal storm]

Look at your dungeon list

[limber hound]

The highest level dungeon available whose level is not 50, 60 or 70

to elaborate a bit

[spiral mango]

oh ok i got that

[limber hound]

soon 80 will be added to the to-dodge list

which means no Twinning or Akadaemia

[spiral mango]

and that has to do with the speed u complete it?

[limber hound]

more like

They help more in getting people to their respective level caps

[queen fern]

I mean, the 50/60/70 roulette isn't the best for leveling.

But it's nice to have variety.

[limber hound]

A lv70 dungeon, released when 70 is the level cap, has no real reason to give XP

[jade quartz]

50/60/70 roulette is downright terrible for exp

[spiral mango]

ill agree with that, thats why i unlocked all optionals

[jade quartz]

You’re better off running the lower dungeon without roulette bonus

[queen fern]

I mean, you still get EXP.

And you get poetics.

And it keeps you from suffering burnout from doing the same handful of dungeons over and over.

A lot of the level cap dungeons are pretty memorable and fun.

[spiral mango]

that

[jade quartz]

If you want variety use a different leveling method like PotD

[queen fern]

PotD is more boring than any dungeon.

Except for the early ARR ones, I guess.

[spiral mango]

Preach

[limber hound]

sastasha

[vernal urchin]

it all depends on your personal taste

[queen fern]

Heck, even in Sastasha, you get to screw around by pulling the entire damn dungeon in one go.

[limber hound]

Somehow I feel like there's a server-side determining factor in which dungeons you get in roulette

[vernal urchin]

personally I found running the same dungeon over and over incredibly boring and monotonous

[limber hound]

My lv16 ARC got matched with other people without job stones, except for a new DRK

[vernal urchin]

So I just did my roulettes and a couple potds a day

[limber hound]

I'm grinding my squadrons up for now

mostly for /squats, but also to see if they really become as good at clearing as I hear

[spiral mango]

whats that useful for

[limber hound]

dungeon grinding pre-60

[vernal urchin]

Lets you get max rank in your grand company as well, increasing your seal cap

[limber hound]

Think of it like a really unwieldy early form of trust

[spiral mango]

Similar to trust system then?

oh

[limber hound]

You don't get all the dungeons between 1-60, for one

[spiral mango]

I guess that could be useful if ur lvling a dps

[limber hound]

There's a gap between 24 (toto-rak) and 32 (brayflox)

Or was brayflox's higher

[spiral mango]

@boreal storm how much time needed for the 2 new classes for the parsing to be representative?

[boreal storm]

Why you asking me

[spiral mango]

idk lmao

good question

[queen fern]

With a leveled up squadron, you can go from the beginning to the final boss room of Stone Vigil in 12 minutes.

Which is pretty nice.

I recommend having an Arcanist for DPS.

[limber hound]

My Arcanist squaddie just unlocked aggressive tactics

[queen fern]

You basically want all your guys except for your tank on Offensive Tactics.

[limber hound]

I figured

[queen fern]

Tank should be on Independent.

[limber hound]

more damage more booms

[queen fern]

Sadly, leveling up battle tactics is completely RNG-based.

[limber hound]

The most chemistry I got is the healer being "more XP when 3 members are the same race"

[queen fern]

Keep at it.

Send your guys on Squadron Missions when you can't or don't feel like doing Command Missions.

[limber hound]

ah right, about that

[queen fern]

Some chemistries let your guys bring back free scrips on Squadron Missions.

[limber hound]

Do I need to switch my squadron's classes to fit the squadron mission I want to do

So far trying to balance things out just leaves me dry for missions that need like >400 of one stat

[queen fern]

Well, Squadron Missions have stat requirements, not Command Missions.

Yes, you probably will have to either use training or swap some of your squaddies in and out to meat stat requirements.

[limber hound]

I mixed up the two

hm

[queen fern]

Note that for Squadron Missions, you don't need a perfectly balanced 2 DPS, 1 Healer, 1 Tank comp.

[limber hound]

I don't recall exactly

But I have at least 3 caster-type members, and those are strong in the 3rd stat I believe

[queen fern]

Casters tend to be high in Mental.

[wintry sable]

Does luminous crystals ( From Anima questline ) stacks? Or do i have to gather each crystal every time?

[queen fern]

But low in Strength and decent for Tactical.

[limber hound]

I also want to distribute the mission XP evenly

[vernal urchin]

I believe you can gather multiple of them from the same quest

[floral flicker]

how do i become a bard?

[limber hound]

first things first

Are you lv30 on archer and finished all the job quests

[floral flicker]

no

[wintry sable]

Alright ty ^^

[floral flicker]

ill go do that now

[warped nest]

!faq jobs

[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.

[dire prawn]

So

I have a question

Kassatsu buffs the damage of your next Ninjutsu by 30% right

And at 76 NIN Kassatsu turns Katon and Hyoton into Goka Mekkyaku and Hyosho Ranryu

Do Goka and Hyosho benefit from Kassatsu's +30% buff?

[unborn geode]

Does anyone know of a website where you can enter your gear and it will show yhou the best matria layout?

[dire prawn]

Unless you're 80 in i510 or higher it literally doesn't matter

If you are 80 in i510 or higher gear The Balance has the answers for you

[unborn geode]

right

Im 80 and i521

working on augmented crypto

but the BIS in etro is for another set which is same ilvl

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[dire prawn]

All Augmented Cryptlurker's or a mix of Aug Crypt and Edenmorn?

[unborn geode]

the balance I don't see a chat to ask, I've read but no love on a calaulator

The mix im trying to avoid

b/c I love runnin Neir

[dire prawn]

So for specific jobs you want to get that job role

[limber hound]

Nier is ilvl 520

[hasty musk]

when it comes to melding it's more or less you meld to your preferred sks/sps and then meld priority stats until they cap out on your gear

[obsidian patio]

So Goka is basically 975 potency, and Hyosho is 1560

[dire prawn]

And they have channels specifically for asking questions about gearing for that job

[unborn geode]

and the Eden morn is hard to get no

[limber hound]

Current cap is 530

It won't be absolute tippy-top

[unborn geode]

Nird gives tokens for i530

[limber hound]

ah right

Augmenting tokens

[dire prawn]

Which job are you getting all Aug Crypt for?

[unborn geode]

GNB

with EW so close I'm ok with just materia in that

unless your saying the eden stuff is as easy to get

[dire prawn]

I think a generally good idea would be to meld whatever substat(s) aren't on the Crypt gear maybe?

[hasty musk]

meld to your preferred skill speed, then meld crit until it caps on everything

[unborn geode]

That sounds good

[dire prawn]

So like gear with Crit/Det meld DH, Crit/DH meld Det, etc

[unborn geode]

to both of you

[dire prawn]

Or that

[unborn geode]

yea that's what I'm going to do

I just wish a calculator exsisted in etro

[dire prawn]

SkS to preference (2.42 is solid) then meld Crit/DH until it caps

[unborn geode]

got it

[limber hound]

what if MNK

[dire prawn]

Meld Det wherever you can't meld Crit or DH because it's capped

[hasty musk]

the difference is pretty negligible if you're not doing high end content tbh

[dire prawn]

I meant to say for tanks

[limber hound]

oh

[unborn geode]

thanks all!

[dire prawn]

For all the tanks 2.42 is a solid GCD to be at

[unborn geode]

I'm doing end game conent, but I'm not good enough to worry

lol

[hasty musk]

your ability to play your job matters infinitely more than optimal melding

[limber hound]

hm, since I'm here anyway

[limber hound]

ah I think that answers the question I was gonna ask

[unborn geode]

I was half kidding FAQ

[limber hound]

I'm still a little spooked by that one sosex run I had, and I just mashed materia on my gear wherever it seemed right

[sharp forge]

for fast leveling 71-80 zandor is better in terms of xp than bozja right?

[heavy wadi]

no

there's no difference exp wise

zadnor gives more mettle

that's the difference

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any command to hide player names and turn on back ?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[heavy wadi]

you can press x to hide them briefly

may be a different bind for you

[glad robin]

When tanking in trials and raids, does it matter which tank usually aggros?

Like for trial for example if there’s one boss mainly

[craggy tinsel]

usually it's just whatever tank wants to main tank

[heavy wadi]

whatever tank aggros first is the main tank

[glad robin]

Aiight

[tender ice]

If i move server will i get the money back i bought my house with

[obsidian patio]

Only if you went from a Congested to Preferred server or to a New server, neither of which currently exist.

[spark crypt]

Can't find it in resources. Is there a discord for palace of the dead and if so can someone share?

[honest anvil]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oV_SIs5L9kD_NHO2ZsU4Tw8R6iQ4v1RC5fZPQqK6cD8/mobilebasic#

i just use this ^

[dire prawn]

I have a question

I was on controller earlier and my dad called me in the middle of the final Aurum Vale boss

[jade quartz]

https://discord.gg/deepdungeons

[dire prawn]

When I answered the phone and grabbed my controller again I had entered some kind of targeting mode where this icon was on the center of the boss model and the camera stayed locked onto it rather than being centered on my character

What was that?

[slate arrow]

Sounds like you enabled the camera lock on

[dire prawn]

Whatever it was it was disgusting

[slate arrow]

Holdover from 1.0

[proper roost]

Soon I'll hit a 300k gil cap as a trial player. Is there anything important for me to buy?

[dire prawn]

Nope

Mostly because there isn't really anything you can buy as a trial player

Can't trade can't use MB

[robust jacinth]

hi all, for retainers- is it a good idea to have one of each gathering job? or just go with combat jobs

[ripe hound]

I personally just got 2 combat

Gathering jobs don’t really feel like it’s worth it

[robust jacinth]

ok cool

[proper roost]

Just wanted to extend my trial version until I get to heavensward. Is it a big waste to hit a 300k cap until that?

[robust jacinth]

I thought I saw somewhere fishing could be helpful as they go do it for you

[silver ruin]

not really

the game kinda throws gil at you the more you play

[honest anvil]

gatherer retainers can help in .. your own downtime but they are .. slow at what they do

[dire prawn]

And if you get into crafting/gathering you kind of make bank

If you're an omnicrafter/gatherer you make bank

[honest anvil]

slow compared to yourself i mean

[robust jacinth]

ok that makes sense. I just started crafting and am working through diadem/ishgard restoration

[honest anvil]

but each gatherer retainer can get you some exclusive minions fwiw .. i set mine as those 3 then after i have minions i changed them to combat

[robust jacinth]

combat jobs just get you more raw gil from the explorations?

[honest anvil]

combat retainers can get crafting mats like leather, flesh. Which they are better at doing than yourself

[umbral dune]

If you feel you are wasting a lot of gil, you can buy some DoL, DoH gear, buying the full set every 10 levels cost huge amount compared to that 300k cap

[proper roost]

Also another question. I've skipped all realm reborn lore since I heard it was boring, it was hard for me to read a lot of text on English since it's not my first language and there was lack of voiced cutscenes. Is it ok for me to start reading from heavensward? If yes, since what point should I start reading?

[honest anvil]

well .. we’re still getting paid off from Arr’s lore set up in recent patches so .. skipping them all was a mistake

fetch quests are boring but .. the bigger set up are important fren

[brave prawn]

As BLM when should I be using triplecast?

[honest anvil]

start reading .. asap :>

[proper roost]

Well I got the main idea of Arr, but not the details

[jade quartz]

For movement and heavy weaving

[honest anvil]

take your time reading; contents are permanently there

[proper roost]

Will I get the full picture if I read only voiced cutscenes?

[brave prawn]

is it a dps drop if I use it for a single target rotation?

[umbral dune]

For main plot, voice is enough

[jade quartz]

Not really no

[umbral dune]

But what you miss is character building, their personalities which set up for hundred hour later

[jade quartz]

No

Of course not

[honest anvil]

i’d say .. you wont be as lost but .. you’ll feel puzzled often

[jade quartz]

You won’t get the full picture if you don’t watch everything

I mean, that’s self-explanatory I feel

[heavy wadi]

it's a linear story so you're gonna miss stuff if you skip an entire expansion

[jade quartz]

Ultimately do as much as you personally want to

[proper roost]

Ok, thx all

[umbral dune]

At least, you still on free trial, new game plus to replay quest with no reward always an option

[steep herald]

the fastest way to level a dps 70-80 is dungeon spamming yea?

[limber hound]

Either that or Bozja

[steep herald]

what is bozja did i miss that in a patch

[limber hound]

well, bozja is 71 onwards not 70

Bozja also needs the Stormblood alliance raids to be done first

[steep herald]

got that done already

[limber hound]

[olive light]

Is there anywhere I can buy Dragoon Blue Dye from a vendor?

[limber hound]

If the associated questline is finished

iirc the quest to start bozja content proper is either in the Kugane airship landing

or Kogane Dori

[modest igloo]

all the dyemongers should have it

[olive light]

Alright, and I assume there is one in Ul'dah?

[modest igloo]

ye

[olive light]

Sick, thanks

[boreal storm]

Actually

Dragoon blue dye is 100 skybuilder scrips, it’s one of those firmament dyes

[olive light]

I have no idea what that currency is

[boreal storm]

Then you haven’t unlocked Ishgard restoration

[olive light]

Is that what these people are for?

[modest igloo]

nope

totally different system

[limber hound]

I think that's the general scrip exchange

Skybuildery stuff is only in the Firmament

[olive light]

Ah, this looks like Disciple of the Hand/Land-only stuff.

[limber hound]

that it is

If you're familiar with how collectables work, it's sort of the same system

[olive light]

Alright, I'll just find another type of blue to use. I don't wanna level one of those, and I don't have like 300k gil to spend on the market board. Lol

[limber hound]

is dragoon blue really that expensive

Not a general-purpose black situation, but still

actually

[olive light]

I need to find a good way to get gil, man

[limber hound]

Fetes in the firmament (when they're running) give tokens that can buy gunmetal black, pearl white or brass dye

I'm running them just for the dyes

not as lucrative, but a gunmetal black is always good

should i prep lvl 70 gear ahead of time

[modest igloo]

right side yes

left side will be 385

[last compass]

which one is that

[jade quartz]

both sides are worth if you have extra poetics

but get right side first

[modest igloo]

weapon and armor

also dont get belts

since EW

[last compass]

augmented accessories from rhalgr?

this is the right side?

[ripe hound]

Is there a way to delete all local data on PS4?

Just want to reset all my UI and stuff

Also you can still play FFxiv on PS4 right?

“Dropping PS4 support” isn’t a thing yet right?

[strange coral]

Yes, you can still play on PS4

[ripe hound]

I want to buy a PS4 version of the game to play while on Trendmill

I’m mostly a PC player with KnM

[strange coral]

As far as the data does, I think you can delete the data in the storage settings. It might delete updates too though, so I'm not sure

[ripe hound]

Cool, thanks!

btw is there a thing like sale for PS4 EW key?

Or do I have to buy my PS4 EW on PS4 store?

[honest anvil]

play FFXIV while on treadmill? really?

[limber hound]

yeah why not

If you're doing something not-too-demanding

[honest anvil]

unless Trendmill is sth else and i’m just .. out of the loop

[grim maple]

better than playing it while sitting

[limber hound]

get those gains

[ripe hound]

But yeah, I only need PS4 EW

But I can only buy the expansion from PS store right?

[honest anvil]

running at 10km/ h and playing ffxiv is some good shape you’re in @@

[ripe hound]

I was hoping if there is anywhere to get the expansion for a cheaper price

Also how does PS4 and PS5 version of the game work?

Like, I think I saw a version called “PS4 and PS5” version

I assume this means you get the license for both version on your account...?

Also, how do people upgrade from PS4 to PS5?

[leaden ginkgo]

how to level fisher

[ripe hound]

Ocean Fishing

You can go unlock it not

[olive light]

I'm assuming Perception is the stat I'm looking for when i'm looking for gear for my Miner job?

[ripe hound]

Next one should happen 27 min later

[modest igloo]

leves are busted

[tranquil valve]

In short, fishing will level your fisher.

[modest igloo]

1-80 in two hours

[slate arrow]

correct: it grants access to both the PS4 and PS5 client

related: the best way to get 60 fps on the PS5 is with the PS4 client

[ripe hound]

I see, I think I’ll just get only PS4 version now

I’m not buying a PS5 anytime soon

I’m still salty they removed Circle Confirm with PS5

[tender minnow]

What’s a good ninja rotation for lv 70

[leaden ginkgo]

idk how it works

[ripe hound]

Mostly just try to fit everything under Trick Attack

Unless you are doing 70 Ultimates

[limber hound]

queue into the boat, and fish for 20 minutes straight

[ripe hound]

Just google Ocean Fishing

It’s an activity

You get thrown on a boat

And fish for 20 min

Then get lots of EXP

[leaden ginkgo]

should i form a party

[ripe hound]

No need

It gives you a random party

[last compass]

Ayo just to double check - so its fine if i buy the DRG/LNC lvl 70 armor at rhalgr's right? This should get updated when EW launches so that reaper can also wear it?

[ripe hound]

And a boat of 24 people

[olive light]

What are the CP and GP stats when looking at crafting/gathering classes?

[slate arrow]

yes

[limber hound]

secondary bar

[ripe hound]

@leaden ginkgo I would recommend you go unlock it now

[olive light]

Ahhhh okay

[limber hound]

Like MP for casters

[ripe hound]

It’s a quest in Limsa

[leaden ginkgo]

i will but what does this website do im confused a little bit https://ffxiv.pf-n.co/ocean-fishing

[ripe hound]

Next boat is going out in 24 min

[ripe hound]

Yeah that’s the more advanced stuff

Basic is here

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Ocean_Fishing

[limber hound]

For XP purposes I think you really can just queue in and do the thing for 20 minutes

[ripe hound]

Buy Bait before you go tho

[limber hound]

ah right, that

It takes specific bait from the nearby vendor

[leaden ginkgo]

i should stack every bait ?

[limber hound]

also you'll need lots of inventory space

[ripe hound]

Yeah, just buy 80 of each

[normal sand]

Best place to lvl up fast as a lvl 73?

[limber hound]

So you spend more time fishing and less time clearing it

[ripe hound]

Oh yeah

[limber hound]

There's a lot of fish variety

[ripe hound]

You need like... around at least 40 empty space in your inventory

[leaden ginkgo]

even this one ?

[ripe hound]

Other wise it’s pain

[slate arrow]

the level 73 dungeon or bozja

[ripe hound]

It’s mostly used for over world fishing

[normal sand]

Bozja?

[leaden ginkgo]

o

[ripe hound]

In the ocean you mostly use the other 3 baits

[olive light]

And what crafting profession should I be doing with mining? Goldsmith?

[jade quartz]

all

[leaden ginkgo]

where i can buy the rod..

[limber hound]

Ideally, it's either all crafters/gatherers or nothing

[jade quartz]

crafters and gatherers are inter-related, there are no simple 1-1 relationships

[ripe hound]

Ah... if you are free trail, check the vendors in the market street nearby

[jade quartz]

and they're inter-related with combat jobs too, there's nothing as simple as "tanks use all armourer gear"

[limber hound]

Crafting classes make stuff for other crafting classes

[leaden ginkgo]

im not on free trial

[limber hound]

marketboard

Or make it yourself

[leaden ginkgo]

level 1

[ripe hound]

Go from the docks to the big aytheryte crystal, and check the vendors

[jade quartz]

Like, a tank could have a blacksmith sword, an armourer shield and chest, a goldsmith circlet, leatherworker boots and gloves, weaver trousers, and carpenter accessories

[ripe hound]

Lazy option is just buy on Market Board

[jade quartz]

with all of those recipes requiring intermediate materials by alchemist

[limber hound]

armoury chest

[vivid karma]

In hoh is there any difference between the magicites or is it just cosmetic

[limber hound]

or actually do the damn quest

[olive light]

Well, for now, I only plan on doing Mining. I'm assuming the items I get from doing mining can be used in: Blacksmith, Armorer, Goldsmith?

[limber hound]

not entirely

[ripe hound]

I’m assuming he threw away his only fishing rod lol

It happens

[limber hound]

All except CUL will use mining mats in some capacity

[vivid karma]

And what is this fabled “elder magicite”

[limber hound]

wait no

[twilit arch]

even cul uses some mining mats

[limber hound]

mining gets salt, salt's in cooking

[twilit arch]

mineral water, etc

[olive light]

Even Weaver, huh?

[ripe hound]

But yeah just check the vendors near the street where there are a lot of vendors

[leaden ginkgo]

yah i found them

[ripe hound]

One of the sells “Trade Craft something something”

Congrats

[leaden ginkgo]

ill buy the low level ones

[slate arrow]

eyup, which is why the short answer for "which crafter" is always "all of them"

[ripe hound]

Yeah, check if you have something to wear

Or not

I think you can do Ocean Fishing without wearing anything lol

[slate arrow]

especially with the NA market where all precrafts usually tend to be priced at a premium

[ripe hound]

It’s less efficient... but eh

You only get lv 1 gear anyway

[limber hound]

if they're lv1

[leaden ginkgo]

👀

[ripe hound]

But yeah, lv1 gear is also sold on the street

[leaden ginkgo]

ill be naked ;-;

[limber hound]

All the better

[olive light]

Alrighty.

[ripe hound]

Look around to see if you can find clothes

There should be another vendor who sell low level gatherer cloth

[ember bronze]

why doesn't khloe journal reward revelation for 1 line anymore?

[ripe hound]

But yeah, clothes is not your primary need,
Make sure you have enough Krill, Plump Worm, and Rag Worm
About 40-80 each should be enough

[leaden ginkgo]

it doesn't matter to buy gear every 10 levels ?

[ripe hound]

Nope

[jade quartz]

For ocean fishing? Not really

[leaden ginkgo]

sweet

[limber hound]

revelation/allegory gear will be buyable with poetics when EW hits

[ripe hound]

You can pretty much just use lv 1 equipment all the way to lv 51

[limber hound]

It's sort of an early change

btw revelations and allegories will be exchanged into poetics at a 4:1 rate

spend them while you can

[ripe hound]

Anyway, when you enter the Ocean Fishing Voyage, just shout or party chat “What bait should I use?”

And people will tell you which one of the 3 bait you use

[normal sand]

How you get to Gangos?

[jade quartz]

Teleport to Doman Enclave > use the aethernet

[ripe hound]

If nobody answers just pick a random one from the 3

[ember bronze]

If you're end game and don't care about anima what the heck do you even spend your poetics on

i've been capped for the longest time

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[jade quartz]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[jade quartz]

can convert them to gil though it's not an amazing rate

[ripe hound]

Also what’s some recommended ways to slowly get Poetics?

Just... do stuff?

[jade quartz]

that's in the FAQ too

[ripe hound]

“No I don’t want to return to Prae!”

[limber hound]

I'm an idiot who buys the SMN/SCH poetics gear to use for desynth

Don't be me

[jade quartz]

that's a valid use too

[placid musk]

I just finished Heavensward, how do I start Stormblood? Do I have to do the Post Heavensward story?

[jade quartz]

ALC desynth is hard to level

[slate arrow]

yes

[jade quartz]

MSQ is linear

[slate arrow]

its a linear story

[ripe hound]

Hun, fancy

[placid musk]

oh alright thanks

[ripe hound]

I should do that

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm, what's the pants glam that looks like a pair of jeans?

[boreal storm]

Peacelover

[limber hound]

Those are ripped jeans

[leaden ginkgo]

Tysvm

And is there a shirt for males that looks like just a regular t-shirt?

[vivid karma]

Is there a difference between the titan, Garuda and ifrit magicites?

And what’s an elder magicite

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks for the help 😄

[stone cosmos]

Are some of the better clothing cosmetic in-game or like shop?

[limber hound]

Define "better"

[boreal storm]

Better is subjective

[stone cosmos]

Better as in it doesn't look like you're wearing a level 1 potato sack

[limber hound]

If your aim is to have level 1 gear that does not look like a potato sack

i'unno the MSQ eventually gives you such things as well

[slate arrow]

functionally nothing, it's basically a free floor clear. That being said I believe the elder (odin) magicite does extra damage to certain x0 bosses

[jade quartz]

There are some outfits in the cash shop

These are very few in comparison to the huge number of outfits ingame.

[vivid karma]

Ok thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

There are amazing glams you can get in-game without irl money, plenty so

[hard aurora]

@stone cosmos if its stuff like this, yea, ingame, but its high level stuff

[ripe hound]

If you want diversity, in game cosmetics are more diverse

[stone cosmos]

Ooo nice

[ripe hound]

Cash shop mostly only have funny and casual clothes

[limber hound]

Some outfits are from previous events that are otherwise locked out from current players

[ripe hound]

And old event stuff

[hard aurora]

in game armours are really quite nice

[jade quartz]

There are heaps of level 1 glams.

[hard aurora]

ah yea, that as well

the rebel and urban coats look nice, as do the fireglass stuff

[limber hound]

you can also simply use the lv1 racial gear

[stone cosmos]

The more "revealing" gears are shop items right? lol

[limber hound]

not quite

[ripe hound]

Hempen Camise gang ayyyyy

Yeah there are a lot of very revealing in game stuff

Cash shop stuff is generally just more Casual and Funny focused

I did something with this recently

[hard aurora]

cosmetics and glamour in game are really cool

[limber hound]

but yeah

Point is

[hard aurora]

it fits a lot of stuff

[limber hound]

Cash shop not necessary for good glam

[oblique yew]

in NG+, will the opening cinematics/preview play for the dungeons even if i have the skip watched cutscene on?

[jade quartz]

The remaining outfits are a handful of fashion outfits made specifically for the Korean and Chinese versions of the game

and a few special extras like Dirndl set/Lederhosen

[ripe hound]

And then there are people like me who are too lazy to come up with a glam,
So I just brought a maid outfit on store...

[limber hound]

collegiate set is store-only tho

[normal sand]

I did the royal city of ranabastra but i cant find the quest after it

[jade quartz]

There's an absurd amount of glamour variety ingame

[thorny yoke]

Beat I can do is just
dreadwyrm

[jade quartz]

If you can't find it in Kugane then go inside the Kugane airship landing > take the airship on board the Prima Vista

[limber hound]

Should still be in the Prima Vista or perhaps the airship landing

[oblique yew]

in NG+, will the opening cinematics/preview play for the dungeons even if i have the skip watched cutscene on?

[boreal storm]

Did you try going back to the ship

[thorny yoke]

look bahamut cool

[ripe hound]

I would recommend just turning off that setting

[stone cosmos]

How does one unlock this glamour?

[limber hound]

Mostly through instances, sometimes through crafting

[slate arrow]

no

[jade quartz]

Like

[limber hound]

and eorzeacollection

[jade quartz]

any piece of equipment in game can be used as glamour

so that's too broad a question

[ripe hound]

Do note we don't have a fancy glamour system

[limber hound]

Most of it is finding what works, imo

[slate arrow]

crafting, marketboard, crafting, collecting gear from raids, crafting, Ishgard Restoration, crafting, did i mention crafting

[jade quartz]

But for starters you can take a look at the cosmetic outfits available on the marketboard

[ripe hound]

As in, glamour related stuff is pretty manual

[stone cosmos]

Just crafting in general?

[jade quartz]

Look in any gear slot category on the marketboard and scroll down to the bottom of the entries

[limber hound]

Like I pick out a particular piece of gear I wanna make a glam around, and go from there

[jade quartz]

and you'll start seeing the level 1 items that are intended just for looks

[slate arrow]

literally anything that gives gear can be used as glamour

[jade quartz]

there are a lot of popular glamour sets that are crafted, and equippable level 1 by any class

which are intended for glamour

[limber hound]

expert recipes for crafting classes gives lv1 gear made more or less for glamour purposes only

The general recipes are either vendor white gear or intermediate mats

[stone cosmos]

I see hm

[jade quartz]

for example a popular one lately is the rebel coat set

[limber hound]

or you can just buy it

off marketboard

[ripe hound]

btw what is this demonstration?

[stone cosmos]

They expensive for the typical public?

[ripe hound]

Is this available on some website?

[jade quartz]

That's a player who takes a lot of glamour photos

[thorny yoke]

uh yes

[jade quartz]

it's uhh

[limber hound]

Depends, Urban/Rebel's probably one of the highest

https://attire.jp

[ripe hound]

ayyy

Nice!

[jade quartz]

btw if you want glamour inspiration or just to look at examples

[limber hound]

That's a full 50% more than my DC

[jade quartz]

there are two main sites where people post their glams

[limber hound]

yikes

[jade quartz]

Eorzeacollection for English-speaking players and Mirapri for JP

I prefer navigating Mirapri tbh

[limber hound]

ah so that's the JP equivalent

[jade quartz]

https://mirapri.com/

[limber hound]

speaking of which I really should upload my GNB glam already

[jade quartz]

here's an outfit made using only ingame stuff

oh well

maid headpiece actually

go ahead and browse

[limber hound]

urge to repost gnb glam rising

[jade quartz]

Like

there are so many gear pieces in this game

dive into the rabbit hole

[limber hound]

Glamour is endgame for a reason

[ripe hound]

Glamour is hard tho

So many pieces in the game

[limber hound]

also why it's endgame

[ripe hound]

I still just wear the free squall outfit lol

It's free and cheap and gender neutral!

[limber hound]

You literally have the whole game's gears at your disposal

heu

[stone cosmos]

gotta look gud

[limber hound]

tbh I didn't think that hard about glam

Until I tried the augmented shire healer's coat dyed black

[ripe hound]

Yeah Shire series is really nice

[limber hound]

it sorta grew from there

[ripe hound]

Can you buy the old tomestone lower ilv gear with poetics?

[thorny yoke]

Glamour is the ultimate endgame

[ripe hound]

Like... what was before Shire?

[limber hound]

yeah

It's the augmented primal stuff

[ripe hound]

Nice

[limber hound]

like hailstorm, hellfire

[stone cosmos]

What level do you see as end game?

[thorny yoke]

80

[jade quartz]

Endgame doesn't begin until level cap

[limber hound]

80, by definition

[jade quartz]

that's set in stone

[ripe hound]

For end game combat? Lv 80

[jade quartz]

that's the definition

[stone cosmos]

Dang 80

[ripe hound]

Well lv 80 isn’t the definition
For like, in 2 weeks

[thorny yoke]

ye

[limber hound]

ah right

[boreal storm]

It’s 90 in December

[limber hound]

"level cap" will always be the definition

[ripe hound]

13 days!

But yeah

[limber hound]

Glamour is the same

[ripe hound]

Glamour can be started really early tho

[stone cosmos]

I also heard that race bonus eventually becomes irrelevant later?

[jade quartz]

It is irrelevant, period

[ripe hound]

You can start playing with glamour from like... around end of ARR?

[limber hound]

hm

[jade quartz]

Race bonuses are more for lore flavour than anything else

[stone cosmos]

The true race bonus is the look?

[limber hound]

Yup

[jade quartz]

yeah

[ripe hound]

Lalafell get to enter some rooms that are too tiny in 5.0

Lalafell Advantage!

[thorny yoke]

ye

[ripe hound]

Yeah it’s just a gimmick

[limber hound]

If you like playing a catgirl, play one

[thorny yoke]

lizardgirl supremacy

[stone cosmos]

Kinda sad the facial customization isn't that much tho

[ripe hound]

[limber hound]

Anyone know what these windows are called?

Trying to decorate my house and I really like how they look

[limber hound]

I don't think so, they have a fixed width iirc

[thorny yoke]

y e s

[stone cosmos]

lizards? Do you mean the supposed half-dragons or is there a mystery race?

[limber hound]

hee hoo

[frozen wind]

Hoping a mod or mentor can help answer this

[jade quartz]

They're not half-dragons

[stone cosmos]

Oh

[thorny yoke]

ok what is that leg piece

[jade quartz]

but lizard is a common nickname

[limber hound]

ovim wool fending

[ripe hound]

Yeah in lore they are not really related to dragons

[limber hound]

Literally vendor gear

[ripe hound]

East or west dragons

[frozen wind]

😦 Welp, it was worth a shot asking here

[jade quartz]

!item windowed partition

[zinc orbit]

**Windowed Partition** **:** Furnishing : ilvl 430

Extending to the ceiling, this partition incorporates a wide rectangular window.

Powered by XIVAPI

[frozen wind]

Is there a housing discord or place I can find the answer im loking for?

[jade quartz]

looks like it's been clipped into the perpendicular wall so that only half of the window is shown.

[frozen wind]

ahh no wonder i coudlnt find it on the market board thank you so much

[oblique geyser]

someone from SEA figured out how to solve the payment issue?

I cant pay for my endwalker pre-order. somehow they payment keeps getting rejected, both paypal and card on store.square-enix eu store

[olive light]

How would one acquire a treasure map? I keep hearing about them

[limber hound]

Depends on what sort of treasure map

[olive light]

You know what, I should just google. Dunno why I spam this channel. Lol

[rancid plank]

answer there is very likely from gathering nodes
different level nodes can yield different maps

1 per day

[olive light]

So, by just mining (or whatever else), you randomly get these maps?

[jade quartz]

you can find them at certain nodes.

[limber hound]

They'll appear in the gathering window

[jade quartz]

They're limited to 1 gather per 18 hours though

Or you just buy them from the marketboard.

[rancid plank]

iirc there are also requirements to make them appear but ive been maxed on my gear so long i couldnt say if im still right on that

[jade quartz]

nah

they just show up

[limber hound]

I wonder tho

[rancid plank]

but yeah i always just go smack some trees around when i want another map personally

[limber hound]

Do I need to be a lv80 gatherer to get zonureskin maps

[olive light]

Huh, alright. I'm the highest level on my Fisher job, so maybe I'll switch gears and level that one to max. Mainly because I enjoy fishing in this game.

[rancid plank]

i dont know if ive ever gotten a map fishing tbh

[limber hound]

If FSH then I think you turn on Snagging and fish as per usual

[rancid plank]

ah thatd make sense

[limber hound]

Perhaps certain spots will reel in a map

[boreal storm]

Honestly just grind the moogle maps while you can

[limber hound]

not mgp?

[gilded forge]

Does bard's Barrage work with Pitch Perfect?

[twilit arch]

no

[gilded forge]

frig

[twilit arch]

barrage only works on skills labelled "weaponskill"

pitch perfect is an ability

[gilded forge]

Ohhhh

Never realized there was a difference, thanks

[hushed stratus]

Is it possible to solo the bosses to get the Kirin mount as lvl 70+ machinist?

[honest anvil]

very possible

i know cause i did it

how do you unequipe glamour plates?

[slate arrow]

Use glamour dispellers

[boreal tree]

@honest anvil I now need SEEDS and the SHELL

Good morning.

I'll try and finish THIS step at least this week, as I've bullied a friend (who like you bullied me) into getting the Resistance Weapons.

[patent frigate]

Will my lvl reset if I change my job? I've been playing PLD but I wanna try Samurai

[umbral dune]

no

[boreal tree]

You start at 50

[patent frigate]

Oh so my lvl and job lvls are separate?

[boreal tree]

For SAM

[umbral dune]

your level are all job level

[craggy tinsel]

there is no character level at all

it's just the job levels

[patent frigate]

What if I change into a monk?

[craggy tinsel]

starts at 1, as a pugilist

your xp is counted separately for every job, be it combat, crafting, or gathering

[umbral dune]

but keep in mind this, by 6.0 maintenance, any exp accumulated between level will be gone, try to reach the next level

[boreal tree]

Ohhh punchy boi is fun.

[limber hound]

Samurai is an expansion job, so it starts below the expansion level bracket

[boreal tree]

TRY everything out.

[craggy tinsel]

the exception is Scholar and Summoner as a pair, since they both come from Arcanist as a "base class"

[patent frigate]

Thats a lot

[limber hound]

Nothing stopping you from trying

[craggy tinsel]

how long would it take to max out an ARR beast tribe?

[limber hound]

also nothing stopping you from dropping them, never to return

[boreal tree]

Try everything out man; believe me, 2 months ago I started - as a WHM - and now, I'm summoning Bahamut and fishing on the side

And enjoy it!

[limber hound]

If Ixal, I think I managed to clear them out in a month or so

if all the others i dunno

[patent frigate]

Ok then I'll change into SAM but what about the set I saved? I customized skill locations and all is there a way to save them

[limber hound]

It's already saved

[craggy tinsel]

Hotbars will save between jobs

[patent frigate]

Oh nice

[limber hound]

It's honestly bloody convenient

[craggy tinsel]

and make sure you create gear sets that save your soul crystal, as it won't auto-equip for the base game jobs when you put on their weapons

[patent frigate]

Yeah I was afraid it'll reset

[craggy tinsel]

example: putting on a cane for WHM by applying gear manually will make you a conjurer unless you put on your soul crystal, but going as a Samurai will by default equip it because you can't not have it

[limber hound]

In other words:

[craggy tinsel]

but yeah, try everything, it's fun 😄

[limber hound]

make a gearset to save yourself the trouble

[warped nest]

Gearset also save you time in equipping your armors and accessories

No reason not to do it

[craggy tinsel]

yup

[patent frigate]

Ok sure thanks I'll do that

[warped nest]

Gearset is among the very first thing you unlock

[patent frigate]

Oh dw I already know about them

[warped nest]

In fact, you cannot unlock other classes until you unlock them

[limber hound]

it's been so long I forgot

[boreal tree]

Cheers

[patent frigate]

oh what about job tutorials I did one for PLD is there on for each job?

[boreal tree]

YEP

Novice Hall

[umbral dune]

that was role quest

[patent frigate]

Nice to know that'll be helpful

[umbral dune]

one for each role actually

[boreal tree]

And you can always smack a dummy

[craggy tinsel]

^

[warped nest]

It is fairly basic, so if you aren't sure about anything

[boreal tree]

Make sure you do the neighbor one

[warped nest]

Or just want additional tips

[craggy tinsel]

when in doubt just go to any random training dummy and slap the shit out of it until you understand your abilities - reading tooltips is a huge help

[warped nest]

Ask here

[umbral dune]

but within a role, playstyle generally not that much different

[boreal tree]

^ please read too tips.

[meager sigil]

Post-ARR content unlock markers are only found in large cities, right?

Just asking so I wouldn't have to check every single region

[warped nest]

@meager sigil almost exclusively in Mor Dhona

[patent frigate]

Oh I'll just do what I usually do

watch a lot of youtube guides

[warped nest]

Since it is the endgame town for ARR

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[meager sigil]

Ya but some like Extreme Earth, Wind, and Fire are found in Waking Sands, Odin is found in Gridania, et cetera.

I just wanna finish up all of those pesky blue markers

[boreal tree]

What's your rotation for MCH? I have just been leveling him on the side and I feel that I'm not that great with it and makes me dizzy.

[warped nest]

Weskalber, YouTube

Watch them

[meager sigil]

Generally the Post-ARR Content Unlocks are in the three cities and Revenant's Toll, right?

[warped nest]

Yeah

[hasty musk]

tldr press air anchor, press drill, use hyperdrive when you're not doing both of those things

[warped nest]

Even if the quest line will take you to the middle of nowhere

The starting quest should start in key locations

[meager sigil]

Alright, good, that means I won't have to teleport to every single open world location.

[boreal tree]

Thank you! Will try it out shortly

[warped nest]

I strongly recommend watching weskalber guide on YouTube

[boreal tree]

I haven't taken him in high content, just leveling him on the side and pixie quests

[boreal tree]

Noted; he's a good one.

[hasty musk]

also

[warped nest]

It will be better than us typing up a whole paragraph

[boreal tree]

Heh, I was asking for your own thing; but yeah, well, practice.

[hasty musk]

wildfire is your burst phase, make sure you use a full 5 GCDs in hyperdrive while its on the boss

[meager sigil]

Wesk Alber is generally a very good channel to go to for guides since he rarely omits any details.

[warped nest]

The only thing I do differently is avoid using oGCD inside hyper drive

Because I never have good latency

[umbral dune]

yeah, single weave can be hard sometimes

[warped nest]

But that's not the correct way to play, it's just the best I can do

[meager sigil]

Simply triple weave into a clip

[limber hound]

I need to put gauss at a more usable place

right now I'm tangling my fingers to do hyperdrive burst

Hyperdrive on 5, heat blast on ctrl+2, gauss on -

[warped nest]

Your hyper drive stuff is your secondary bread and butter

[umbral dune]

gauss on -, the hell with that hotbar

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello, on average, how many player are in one server that are active but not necessarily logged in?

[hasty musk]

a lot

[narrow halo]

where do you go to find someone to help run a dungeon in here? lmao

[hasty musk]

we don't know exact numbers

[warped nest]

Just use duty finder and the game will match make you

[leaden ginkgo]

I am sure of that but can't imagine a number

[hasty musk]

you shouldn't have to, you queue in duty finder

[fresh gate]

There isn’t a way exactly to know numbers but it’s a lot to put servers into needing to queue people due to it being full

[limber hound]

A holdover from my previous everything-on-hotbar-1 layout

[warped nest]

You don't need to recruit your own party member, not for most contents anyway

[meager sigil]

Square rarely ever give server-specific population censuses

[limber hound]

Not that I know where to put it now, though

[narrow halo]

i have been, i dont have the leisure to wait 3 hours for sohm AI sadly

[boreal tree]

Noted all points; will defo try it out and tinker.

[warped nest]

Have you fiddle with your language settings for your Duty finder?

[hasty musk]

it's not gonna take 3 hours to queue in Sohm Al

[limber hound]

3 consecutive hours without a queue pop?

[warped nest]

And it is like 5 am ish in EU now

[limber hound]

DF language settings does make a difference, especially in not-NA regions

[meager sigil]

That's absurd. Unless he's queuing up for a raid or extreme, that should not be possible.

[warped nest]

Give or take

[narrow halo]

estimated time i gotta go to bed shortly

[warped nest]

!faq dflanguage

[zinc orbit]

Why does it constantly take hours for my queue to pop

If you're on the EU or JP servers, it might be prudent to use the ⚙️ to change your duty finder settings to allow more players speaking different languages to be matched with you!

[leaden ginkgo]

There're like 67 servers right?

[hasty musk]

Sohm Al is a leveling dungeon, even as a DPS it's not gonna take 3 hours unless it's like 3 am

[meager sigil]

Note: Join Party in Progress can help with queue times but it's either going to be the fastest run of your life or the most scuffed.

[umbral dune]

i use F1 to F12 for my second hotbar so both gauss and ricochet are F1,F2, and heat blast like 4, smashing button in those 8 secs

[warped nest]

It is 5am ish in EU

Right now

[leaden ginkgo]

And recently squere said thate there're about 22m active player right?

[hasty musk]

the person queueing is on Crystal

[limber hound]

My hotbars are a little weirder

[warped nest]

If they have been queueing for 3 hours, and they use English exclusively for their duty finder

[limber hound]

First row 1 to = like usual

[umbral dune]

nah 22m accounts

[leaden ginkgo]

No 24

[umbral dune]

"active" is so misleading

[warped nest]

So you are queueing with English only, in EU data center, in 3 am

[limber hound]

2nd row ctrl+1 to ctrl+= but ctrl+6 and 7 are f1 and f2

ditto for 3rd row, but alt instead of ctrl, f3 instead of f1 and f4 instead of f2

[hasty musk]

they're on crystal what are you talking about

[warped nest]

Oh

Brain fart

I was thinking chaos

Lolol

[leaden ginkgo]

So there're about 359K player on each server on average there I solved it though probably wrong

[twilit arch]

That's very likely off

[fresh gate]

This is considering it literally everyone is active and online (they aren’t)

[twilit arch]

the 24mil number is registered users

[void vine]

Does that count below max lv?

[narrow halo]

some dungeons are super active, others super dead so... lol

[leaden ginkgo]

It's says active on google maybe wrong info

[hasty musk]

why wouldn't it

[warped nest]

It counts everyone who has touched the game

[distant jay]

I accepted the relic reborn quest for warrior (bravura) and its asking for a materia enhanced barbarians bardiche. I looked it up and the requirements mentioned blacksmithing, do i have to go to a black smith or level up the job myself?

[warped nest]

Even for 30 seconds

@distant jay you can just buy it from marketboard

[umbral dune]

free trial, yes

[warped nest]

Unless, you are on free trial

[narrow halo]

huh, abunch of people just showed up, probably some nice folks here watching, thanks!

[limber hound]

I find that unlikely

More like a random tank finally showed up

[narrow halo]

i was the only one qued

[warped nest]

The longer you wait, the game should put you on higher priority

[hasty musk]

how long did you queue for

[narrow halo]

50mins or so with 3h est time

[hasty musk]

are you a DPS

[narrow halo]

yes

[hasty musk]

ok that's most likely why

[limber hound]

now don't quote me on this, but queueing for Sohm Al specifically does not match you with other people queueing for Sohm Al specifically

[warped nest]

I thought you said you waited 3 hours?

[twilit arch]

yes it does

[limber hound]

hm

[twilit arch]

there is no reason why it would not match you with other players who are specifically queueing for sohm al

[distant jay]

how do you infuse materia into an item?

[umbral dune]

but it can match you with roullette, mentor as well to fill up slot

[warped nest]

Even if it does, this sounds like the kind of things that get rectified immediately

[twilit arch]

the game tries to put a group together, either from people specifically queueing for that instance and then using roulette queuers to fill in the gaps

[limber hound]

materia melder at a marketplace

[distant jay]

is it in limsa?

[limber hound]

There should be one

[umbral dune]

the market of all 3

[limber hound]

Icon on the map is a blue egg and a hammer

[warped nest]

All the major cities, yes

[distant jay]

nice, found one

[ornate mango]

So I have a friend who plans to buy the game soon. He started on a preferred server and the buff has since worn off, and has finished Heavensward today. Are the free 15 days of sub time going to be added to his account?

[stone cosmos]

If you play this game at 1 am there's room

[swift pasture]

is there a way to get more than 1 duty action in eureka like bozja?

[unborn geode]

How do you mark a frinedly or a enemy with a symbol?

with controller

[ornate mango]

put mnemes in the astral array, but the more you dump in there, the lower chance you have of successful extraction

[distant jay]

I tried to go to the materia guy in limsa but he sent me to thanalan to talk to swynbroes who gave me a little quest which i've done. Bubblypots is talking about materia removal, not infusion. what do i do to infuse it? do i just go back?

[umbral dune]

that should be the blue quest to meld materia yourself with DoH so yeah, go back and talk again with the guys with ovan diamond icon on minimap

[distant jay]

where do i get battledance materia?

[umbral dune]

are you free trial?

[distant jay]

no

[umbral dune]

market board

[distant jay]

so market board is a shortcut to this stuff?

[umbral dune]

and to the biggest grind of this relic weapon later on

[hasty musk]

free 15 days would've been added way back when in ARR

you only have to hit level 35(?) to get them

[ornate mango]

yes I know

[umbral dune]

i dont think that feature was retroactive

so probably no

[hasty musk]

^

[ornate mango]

only one way to find out

[hasty musk]

pretty sure you get an email or some such when you do get them

[ornate mango]

yeah I’m aware

[umbral dune]

okay it is a no cus that exactly my case

now i remember

[lethal mist]

Captain is the highest you can go in those guilds right? I was thinking now that I have Captain in Twin Adder I can start one of the other two and still keep the benefits like 90k max sigils and such?

[boreal storm]

No you have to rank up from the start if it’s your first time with that GC

Your squadron comes with you though

[echo stratus]

Hello, so I just started the free trial and digging it. I play on steam and heard that the dlc rarely goes on sale there, since the steam sale is soon I was wondering if I lose the free trial if I get the shadowbringers dlc

[boreal storm]

You lose trial when you register the full game

And you have to have the base game registered first to use dlc codes

[stone cosmos]

Can you just do single payments when you feel like it or does it have to be consistent payment?

[echo stratus]

Ahhh okay thanks

[limber hound]

It's a subscription, so it'll bill you every month

Until you unsub

[stone cosmos]

I see

[boreal storm]

You don’t have to have recurring payment

[limber hound]

crysta, right

I don't use that though

[stone cosmos]

What is this 👀

[boreal storm]

Auto buying a sub when you run out

[stone cosmos]

auto or manual

[brave prawn]

Hey any way I can turn subtitles on for all spoken dialog in a cutscene? It's not super common but I'd like them on for when characters talk in the background

auto or manual doesn't matter for your sub

its convenience

Game will tell you when you have 5 days left to reup

[midnight grotto]

are there nice looking clothes for free trial?

also how do i get them :sadge:

[limber hound]

define "nice"

[boreal storm]

Subjective as heck

[hasty musk]

there are nice looking pieces of gear available in the trial

[midnight grotto]

:o really... do u only get them in dungeons :(

[hasty musk]

but some are harder to get than others due to the trial restrictions

not all of them

for example there are outfits that can be crafted

[limber hound]

when in doubt, hempen camise

[hasty musk]

but because you're on trial, you'd have to get all the materials yourself and craft them yourself

[limber hound]

[boreal storm]

Gold saucer outfits, beast tribe outfits

[midnight grotto]

where can i get that :0

[limber hound]

Some vendor in the city-states, I'd imagine

Also the hempen camise is rare that it looks different for all races

But I'd argue that glamouring picks up from later onwards, when you can reliably go back and grab stuff from earlier places

[midnight grotto]

got it ! it looks rly cute on me

thank u guys
