yup, would be more noticeable the higher scale you go of course
What do the green check marks and red question marks mean in the item search window?
basically the game's servers telling you they're somewhat out of date
usually not something you should be worried about
unless you're using mobile app to sell stuff
Awesome, thank you!
Hi all, so im going to ask something kinda dumb (well i think dumb) i havent bought the game yet and i want too thing is theres two complete editions (i think?) and im trying to figure out which one is the better one to get first? via steam that is and i just wanted to ask for some help on which to get?
there should be only one complete edition
._.
highly suggest waiting 2 weeks before buying it
oop forreal?
code for old CE (base + HW + SB) still exit, just ignore that
as if you buy after endwalker releases, you will also get endwalker for no cost

is it normal to have to use lucid dreaming when spam aoeing on RDM?
Why wouldn't it be?
dunno, i never did dungeons as rdm and noticed that i was at 5000 mana after a trash pull
The norm in raid is to use lucid dreaming on cooldown
For dungeon, MP tick is pretty quick between pulls so you probably don't need to worry about it too much
mainly asking because SMN went from 'you have to use lucid dreaming a lot' during leveling dungeons to 'you only really have to use it if you've ressed somebody recently' at lvl 80
let's say i kill a L50 B rank hunt mark with a L60 job. will i get exp for the kill?
yes
i dont believe B marks give exp
also, ARR marks in general do not give an xp bonus
Rdm won't commonly have mana problems in dungeons unless you're constantly healing / ressing / etc
like the expansion targets
rdm has no mana issues as long as you hit lucid dreaming off cd
does this apply to B ranks for HW/STB?
even with resses a lucid dreaming will be fine
B/A/S/SS do not give exp bonus on completion in general
it's made so you don't feel bad switching to your leveled job to oneshot it
and dont have to suffer with your leveling job
How critical do you guys think MMO mouses are?
I'm using the side button for Alt/Ctrl and it feels like hopefully enough, is it a huge boost to gameplay?
not critical at all if you're dextrous with a keyboard
i'm using shift/alt/ctrl on the keyboard with my fingers and it's more than enough to keybind absolutely everything
I guess I'll go there if a job demands it perhaps, I'm not even there yet level wise
Just a bit worried since I'm thinking of playing Gunbreaker
every job has a similar amount of keybind
of around 30
and you dont have to keybind all of them, it helps, but you can just mouse click on some long abilities
Do we have translation for mog radio?
Is it possible to replay the Level 80 job quests on New Game+?
Hmm I thought Gunbreaker was supposed to be harder with keybinds though because I heard it has the offensive bindings of a DPS but with like 6+ tank mitigation keys that need to be very accessible too
Well, if it says physical, then that probably counts.
Mountain Buster also counts.
isn't that Mountain Buster tho
do this
As does Abyssal Transfixion, Triple Trident, and Peripheral Synthesis.
slash/pierce/blunt is physical
Also note that this rule bars you from using any buffs.
mimicry is fine since you cast it outside the arena
Ah, right. That's a nice loophole.
But you can't use any non-physical attacks in the ring.
Question, if I am playing Summoner or scholar, and I get roulleted to something like Satasha, do I go back to archanist or stay as a scuffed version of whatever job I am playing?
scuffed version of the job
you keep job stone even sync down to lower level
you will play as scholar up to level 18(?) in satasha, and summoner if you queue in as summoner
do note that summoner has permanent upgrades when it gets primal egis
so when you get synced down your emerald carby is permanently going to have the increased potency from its upgrade via job quests
Oh, it is quite weird, I am still just wrapping up with the idea of leveling one job levels the other one too, feels like I should have learned this sooner, thanks!
it's the only one that does it
all other job are sync down properly
after you get their job stones they can be treated as separate entities with no relevance to how arcanist works
(BLU)
Oh yeah, scholar fairies are the same now, right?
yeah, just cosmetic
yes
just pick the cooler color
choose they one you like more
which is eos btw
Alright, thanks
selene ftw

should be able to turn the faeries into carbuncles
no cus faerie is of ancient nemian, carbuncle can be summoned by arcanist which is basic of basic
As if they’d let that happen
||if tataru try it again|| could she be a powerful SMN or SCH?
probably not.
she very much failed last time
she couldn't even get the carby to help her on the first test
Are Ehll Tou and Charlemend the same EXP rewards wise? Only have Kai-Shirr left so the other 6 deliveries I wanna use for EXP.
you can open timer, custom deliveries, checking each npc reward for the week by clicking their names so that you dont have to go to each
||At the very least, she can cast Physick well enough to help against an auspice-level Soroban.||
Thanks, didn't know that! Btw, is there a reason Adkiragh gives 5M exp while the others give 3,5M? Only him being higher than the others.
Oh nvm just noticed the "BONUS" thing
Prolly RNG I gues
charlemend gives about 5% more scrips, but other than that, everyone else is equal

By getting every chest in BA, you get around 30-ish eureka fragments right?
How do I get the riding maps for mount speed enhancement?
You don’t need them if you have flight
I'm after the EXP here. Can I make all 6 deliveries to him or is the BONUS only applied to a certain number of deliveries and then changes to another person?
Do we have any Monk mains/players in here? 
don't they increase the on ground speed?
do u guys think theres going to be a black friday sale on the mogstation
Bonus is for that item until capped out
You can do all 6 no worries
Thanks, what do you mean by "capped out" tho? After they're finished, is there a "change" in the items they want or will it just always be these now?
The bonus changes at weekly reset
I mean cap as in weekly cap. Can only do 6 per person max and 12 total a week
Oh ok, then anytime I see a bonus it's safe to go for it until I use up my deliveries.
Thank you!
Which isn’t needed when you can fly, as flight is max speed
then id still like to collect em
jus for fun
is it locked behind free trial or smthn?
They're currently being sold by the iterant moogle
yea i know but since the moogle items are usually also available through other means i asked just to see which id prefer
Either that or grind allied/centurio seals
there is a breakdown of where items in the event come from normally on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/q71nxv/moogle_treasure_trove_item_breakdown/
if you want to check and grab other stuff as well, before EW release
and those are gotten from pvp?
Hunts
Go to your GC or elsewhere with the clan hunt billboard
Grab the hunt marks and start searching
!faq hunts
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
does anyone know how or when sprites spawn in Bozja?
well i'll be... it's weather dependent
Is there a way to move the text box while in a cutscene?
I mean the location of the textbox in the cutscene
I want to move it a bit higher if possible
cant you just drag it
Trying to figure out how to use my daily beast tribe stuff now that I'm almost finished. As a 79 crafter, the Dwarven ones give great exp but Namazu is complete sheit. Is it every 10 levels it just completely plummets? Also I assume the lowest ones, like ARR, are 40+ seen as how their unlock conditions are a level 43 quest or some such?
I imagine they only give good XP when in their level bracket
Namazu is for 60-70
Your crafters are in the ShB level bracket, and dorfs serve that level bracket, not fishies
You can drag it
fishies serve the StB level bracket
Just confirming it is how I thought it is. As for early crafting, when can I start doing beast tribes? 43+?
Alternatively move it in HUD layout
Ixal starts at lvl 1 crafting

Oh? Wiki says unlocking them is some level 43 quest so I just assumed... So they'll give decent EXP from 1-50 basically?
So ARR 1-50, HW 50-60, StB 60-70 and ShB 70-80?
i believe you have to be a lvl 43 combat job to unlock them
helps that for ARR beast tribes you get more than 3 a day based on your rep with them
and some parts of their quests require combat
And gatherers
yes
Yeah I recall Ixal being one of the faster ones to complete. I just didn't bother checking levels as I did beast tribes for the sake of doing them, not leveling (until now).
Thanks guise
Huh interesting, the leve l16 Ixali quests (that give 50 points) can be done with a level 12. Guess it's just an indicator of what you should be at.
how long does it take to get 600 protean crystals?
what about 150 anemos crystals?
thanks
if you're still leveling then you don't have to worry about it, just by leveling you'll get enough crystals to complete your weapon
does beast tribe reputation decay or anything like that?
no
if you buy the latest expansion you get stormblood for free
there might be some CE that stop at SB only
but why would you do that when you can get ShB that include that already
Is there still a limit to the amount of desynth levels you can get overall? or can I max out everything?
max is 520, and you can get it on every class
i already own ARR and Hw, i just need Shb and SB
nice, thank you
you own base game right? so just buy ShB but since EW so close, buy EW, wait 2 weeks and you get 3 expansions
hey everyone! o/ So if anyone could help me i'm trying to figure out how to get these "free levels" or leveling assistance in idyllshire someone mentioned in passing
i don't see anything about it in idyllshire though
my guess is they were talking about Wondrous Tails through Khloe
!faq wondroustails
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!
that's it! thanks guys ^^
Do I get pre-order items in my mail ign?
yup
Where is UI setting stored?
In character data?
I mean, I think I can back it up locally right?
my document>my games>FF14>CHR folder
you can weave fleches and contre sixtes between melee combo stages, right?
not sure if i'm clipping the melee gcd, it seems lot shorter
cool
Can also fit engagement in if that's up
or acceleration for later
Eh usually do that with holy/flare or scorch
don't have those yet
OK then yeah can throw that in as well if needed
what are the chances of RDM getting the Alisaie's spell from the solo duty?
the pretty aoe with roses
do zadnor duels have a cd like bsf?
for some reason i cant log in thru the xiv launcher, there's no maintenance atm 
In 6.0? Really low, like, 0%
Try with the regular launcher
but like, is there precedent for them 'spoiling' or previewing future spells like this?
No... don't think so
i uninstalled the regular launcher since its funky
it just looked so pretty
The first "Roleplay" section was in pre-ShB
Don't think anything was added in ShB that was roleplayed
Thancred vs. whatisface
Wait what?
I can't try logging in since I'm not home, but if other players have no issues connecting with regular launcher then you should go on the plug-ins devs discord instead to see what's wrong
But yeah, it isn't really clear why, but the devs seems to strongly prefer giving RDM a cone melee AOE instead of a circle melee AOE... not sure why tho

Yeah, but by 5.0, GNB is already released
I don't think any of the role play sections before 5.0 showed anything released in 5.0
don't really think that really counts seeing as its not previewing anything since gnb was released in 5.0
same time as that fight
Yeah
Yeah
then yeah, I can't think of anything of the sort
Granted, I would definitely prefer RDM getting a circle melee AOE instead of a cone melee AOE
But I can understand, that this is a gameplay choice the devs made
It's probably because a cone AOE feels more similar to using RDM's casted circle AOEs?
Since, you need to target an enemy to use those casted circle AOEs...
And you also need to target an enemy to use a Cone AOE...
And this means you stay less inside the middle of the enemies...?
Yeah, it's confusing
But the devs definitely intentionally chosen to not change RDM's Melee AOE into a circle AOE in 6.0
i did that just now, ty
Cone aoe is the reason I delay leveling warrior
ill also try to restart but if it doesnt work then 
It’s honestly pretty fun tho
You smash the enemy then go in and whoosh
I liked the dancing
Is this the reason why I keep getting an email saying my order for Endwalker has a payment processing error?
Is there a fete timer website?
no.
oh, alright
is PLD self-healing meaningful in soloing content?
hard boss fates, soloing old trials and raids and such
ye, at the least that’s how you pop Veil
if you're soloing, you're not using veil on yourself
i mean meaningful as in is it noticeable over other tanks
it can be nice to top yourself up during solo content
oooh, been using this wrong lmao

why not?
veil does not affect the pld
how strange
still so much to learn
you would think 'all party members' would include yourself
no, atleast not for divine veil. has never affected the pld
I do the same thing with other tanks lol
I just don't like pulling with a conal aoe
it's just that i would expect the wording to be 'all other party members' then
of the tooltip
To level crafters from 60-70 is it better to use firmament or SB levemetes?
leves are generally better exp over the firmament, but have potentially higher requirements since you want to turn in HQ for them
plus they are going to be limited by allowances
leves will always be better however they do require a bit of planning to maximise efficient use of leves
that being said there's usually crafters who will HQ craft for free if you bring them the mats
Allowances aren't a problem for me 😛 For now at least
But my lvl 60 crafters gear is.. very bad.. iLvl 50 XD
Only got them good gear at level 70
so if you have leveled gatherers also consider that
You can get gear from NPCs for about 20k a piece
Or HQ from MB
and that gear is good enough for HQ crafting for the levemetes?
generally yes, with some HQ precrafts
HQ crafting is fairly easy after the 5.3 changes
What were the changes?
vendors, scrip vendors, the marketboard
I mean this gear, since I'm out of yellow scrips
the vendors in ishgard or kugane
Ok thanks!
lmao XD
how do i play the free trial? :"") for some reason its asking for a registration code and i search up that u dont need one if u have the free trial version
however they do not offer jewelery so you will need to craft that or buy it with scrips
Ahhhhh, time to get scrips I guess 😛
!faq freetrial
delete the ffxiv folder in your My Games folder
Also from beast tribe NPCs. I got the adept set from moogles and I forgot which 62-ish one from namazu
a h ty :"))
Was enough to bring me to 70
Hmm I didn't do beast tribes actually except for Shb ones
Namazu are worth considering
dunno if the moogles are still good EXP
they probably are but I'm way past them now
They're solid for dailies before 60
Albeit a bit time consuming compared to the other expansions
Hmm then should I go for scrips (for gear) -> levemetes, or just namazu quests?
well specifically namazu offers crafting gear for left side starting at 62
you still need to get jewelery from somewhere else
You can save scripts for 70 gear already if you have a decent ilvl right now
scrips from custom deliveries should be enough to not need to save up.
I got lvl 70 and 80 scrips gear, just not 60, and most of my crafters are 60
About scrips, I forgot what gives yellow and what gives white
Custom deliveries mostly
custom deliveries give both if you turn in as 80 class.
else just yellow
Ok, so what can I spend white on except for gear? I'm nearly capped on them
crafting materials
To sell on MB?
I just threw down ilv500 gear for my retainers instead
Alright thanks
Reminds me to level my retainers XD
You can also trade collectibles for scrips
But it's more effort and less efficient than deliveries
Oh I just realized I could spend the white scrips on Main hand tools for the other crafters I have

Is the Dragonsong war (Post-HW quests) going to require me to travel a lot on foot?
Wondering if I should now do all the Aether Currents first before proceeding, but that's super boring and would take a while
is there a way to show fps ig ?
it's shown on the window when you open system configuration
can't have it showing all the time without a plugin
Even if you do them all, you will need to do all the side quests in the area to unlock flight, and those are locked behind MSQ progression. Also in HW most of the time MSQ is gonna lead you to the aether currents so just check the compass every now and then
Oh wait post HW sorry, yeah probably unlock them I think
they're only locked behind base MSQ,
so for post-hw they can already have it
and ye, unlock them, it'll make your life easier
As someone who gave their friends a ride for MSQ locations trust me you will thank yourself for this XD
Oh snap.... can I hire someone for gil or something lmao. Yeah nah I guess I should just suck it up and do it....
SB is meh imo in that regard,
can only finish 3 of the areas on first visit.
Yes, but I promise getting the currents is faster than you think
Enjoy the sights
True, SB was very annoying to get
There was 1 aether current I never figured how to get to, needed to call someone from NN to help me 😛
It's in the Lochs, isn't it
Yes 👀
I had dps queue, I just got all my currents while waiting lol
the usual
XD

true...
That one's fun 
There's a shortcut where you can skyrim up one of the cliffs and cut the journey in half
found that out my first time
I'm honestly kinda looking forward to having aether currents to hunt down again
Same
I hope the areas won't be as "locked off" as they have been in SB & ShB,
so I can go to areas early again
It's fun exploring the whole map for the first time, and get rewarded for this
I’m not looking forward to the hard ones
I didn't feel like Shb was hard to get

They were locked off in the sense that you could see them, but you couldn’t get them
Because you needed to progress msq to get to that part
not hard,
but being told "no do msq before you're allowed in the next area" kinda sucked.
HW allowed you to go to from coerthas western to chocobo forest w/o story progress
Well I was late into Shb so I just got someone to fly me over 👀
True but it being so obviously inaccessible made it easy to know the zone would be split
it's always obvious
Wasn't for me in sb, but that was admittedly the first time it happened
HW had SoC and Hinterlands both split
Oh yeahhhhh
Though Hinterlands only needed a brief dip into Idyllshire to get through
Btw since I asked a bit about crafters before, is it necessary to do their job quests? They don't seem to reward anything useful but I don't really know
They reward actions at higher levels
If you want to be a half capable crafter, yes
Hmm if I'm lazy should I just get to lvl 80 and then do them?
namely the level 65 quest for each crafter which unlocks manipulation
which is one of your best skills.
You can get most of the way there, but you'll start struggling without manipulation for most crafts
The level 63 quest also rewards a trait that increases the chances of a "good" proc
!action manipulation
Manipulation is the most efficient CP -> durability restore action
But from my experience because my crafter's gear is so bad then the job quests are very rough, so might just wait for lvl 70/80
Pretty sure the arr ones also give a few
nope
Huh, misremembering

Good morning everyone!
I am kinda New to FFXIV and I really like how the classes feel. My BLM is roughly level 70 now and I start wondering, is there some class variety in FFXIV or do All max level BLM (for example) use the same rotation without variance?
Rotation is different for every job
All blm will use the same rotation though if that's your question
Hmm a question about custom deliveries. After I get max reputation / level with a NPC, does he ever change the stuff I need to deliver to him?
Optimal rotation and BiS are the same for every blm
BLM has BiS options
Iirc blm have some variety regarding crit over spellspeed
Stacking spellspeed or stacking crit.
is the lodestone website down?
They perform similarly numbers-wise so it's down to personal comfort re: how fast you like to feel
But in most classes it's the same for all
Yeah that was the question, thank you for All your answers!
Idk about BLM but I know some jobs like SMN have variants of the rotation, which are just another order of spells
I believe it changes every week
Ok ty
The rotation changes will always be very minor, for example pld starting their magic part at specific parts depending on the duties
But overall every player will follow roughly the same rotation
Yeah that's true

Question regarding the Dragoon Quest in HW, specifically the one where || we have to deliver new of fake death to the father. We get two options, to tell the truth or not. Wiki describes one option. Is that the canon one? What happens if I choose the other? ||
Oops, home not start
There's no canon options in dialogue choices
The outcome doesn't change. It never changes.

There is no canon option

yeah
Okay. Thank you!
Currently the only content where your dialogue choices effects things in the world are within Shadowbringers quests

anyone know if there's any tools that can "rip" your character to a 3d model format?
I wanna print my character but rebuilding them in maya or blender seems inefficient & will not be 1:1
Is there no yellow scrips gear for lvl 60? I only see 58 and 65
there is, but its not that good. easier to buy it from the ishgard splendor npc than idyllshire
you trade in tokens for the 60 at idyllshire (the npcs next to the scrip vendors)
since idyllshire (at the moment) requires you to exchange tokens for it
I'm in the firmament
the splendor npc is near the ishgard aetheryte
no
no
no, they're separate npcs
You have to do a double chain of scrip exchanges originally, but you can get it directly from the blue bag NPC
also it's only available from the idllyshire exchange.
idyllshire, left of the scrip npcs.
buy tokens from scrip npc -> trade in tokens for 60 gear.
Found it
Ty
I do have iLvl 180 gear for lvl 61 tho so would it be better to just spend some gil to level up all from 60-61 instead?
yea
Kk
The main downside of the 60 set is that its not universal
How that I think about it this is probably why they're removing blue scrip tokens
eeeeeyup it's why it's usually recommended to just buy the vendor gear in Stormblood
blue scrips have been removed for years now
Blue Scrips were removed over four years ago
they're removing the tokens
Yup
Is it going to be useless then?
You'll still be able to exchange them after removal
Oh I see
But you're not gonna be able to buy more
Then no need to hurry with anima relic 😅
What did I just say
That I can use them
And after that?
That I can't buy them
So either stockpile for anima now or realise you're not gonna be able to use them for that
Hmm not sure how many relics I want from HW tbh, gonna have to think about it
Might spend the yellow scrips on master recipes instead
already have 2 stacks of tokens,
if they remove the trade in I'll be sad.
trade in wont be removed
They've never outright removed items
Not including bug items
Cuz we had a case of that in ShB where an inventory slot would be used up by a blank slot
They patched and fixed that pretty fast
The only time they've "removed" items is mainly old currencies that are two patches out of date
like old old tomestones and old old scrips
also really old gear like the shirt tataru wears (can only get the armored variant of that)
you mean 1.0 gear? That's not removed, it's just no longer obtainable
if you owned the item you still own it
For some reason I can't access the lodestone site or the square enix website, any ideas why?
I need a good looking staff for WM any guides out there for WM gear

"This site can't be reached"
i play whm for frontlines and doesn't really take long, a few minutes most of the time
Try from Mozilla or edge
Depends on time of the day
ive been queueing for 1hr as a tank :<
From 2 to 20 minutes usually, most often it's around a couple of minutes
what
Your job doesn't matter, only time of the day
ahhhh i see i see
this time is NA sleeping time
People play pvp roulette a couple of hours after reset
Reset time
i dont have mozilla but either way edge doesnt seem to work
You could try with a VPN, I've no issues accessing the lodestone right now
do the trusts show up in daily duties ?
nope
you are matched with player, not npc
nope, trusts can't be brought into duty finder activities
i know i mean do the dungeons come up on the list if i skip doing it as a trusts or
ye
kk
oh ye, they still get added
trusts are the alternative option
cool
trusts are basically for when queue is "more than 30 minutes" and you don't want to wait to prog msq
they are painfully slow tho
for leveling dungeon,they are not bad
ayy the vpn worked poggers
more stable than low dps teammates
they stop attacking when doing mechanics,
so low dps teammates would still be faster if they don't die.
the healers will even stop healing even if you're at 5% during mechanics
at the same time you shouldn't be at 5% during mechanics if you don't mess up
sure, but if daddy urianger gets hit by both left swing & right swing in holminster, what am I to do
I've had trust's rarely fail a mechanic
idk I thought they were hardcoded to do them properly
but I haven't done all that many trusts ig
If they die they die during mod pulls
yeah outside of trying to pull more I don't think I've seen things go wrong
For ff14 login too?
in terms of length I think they're set to always be around 30 mins so it's ok if you have long queues and keep getting terrible players ig
Or just want the immersion/the comments
base time is 50m if you don't help.
so ye 30m is a good estimate if you are helping.
leveling dungeon above lv70 usually be completed over 20mins,
How do I know if/when my Endwalker preorder is/was cancelled? And if it was cancelled, I'm guessing i lose my early access?
too low dps such as 3k dps and non-damage healer can result half a hour
yep!
If your dungeon queues are more than 10-15 mins, a trust run is probably faster
fortunately i reset my mods in the process and i dont remember how to install them 
From the game itself if it's xivlauncher
actually its textools lol
Dalamud plugins are funky and dont work w/ my pc
Is ishgard housing going to be in 6.0 or 6.1?
The district will be added in 6.0, but the plots won't be buyable until 6.1.
Ok ty
The Aetherochemical Research Facilities give good amount of Poetics
What other dungeons are like that?
I'm trying to find a good way to farm Poetics
Thabks
I am still in the beginning of the game. If i buy the endwalker expansion. Will i be able to change my character to viria male or do i have to get to the expansion in the story?
Any 50/60/70 lvl cap dungeons
You need to own Shadowbringers and a fantasia.
And it needs to be after Endwalker release
But ye after buying EW you could change with the potion
Oh thank you. Yes I just ordered all the other expansions. Can't wait.
Enjoy
You can pre drink your fantasia
Really enjoying the game and the pace
And log out naked before Endwalker maintenance
Then race change to bunny Boi before you join the Endwalker login queue
That was you want have to login twice on a launch day
Oooh interesting 😅
5-6 digit queues are expected on launch day
You need to be naked to race change due to race and gender locked gear existing
5-6 digit?????
Biggest I've seen on SHB launch for one of the larger servers was like 4k at most.
which was still very long.
I've seen 5 digit screenshots
What iLvl would be required to craft stuff like this HQ?
!item marid leather grimoire
None
78 (87 HQ)
106 (118 HQ)
180 (200 HQ)
173 (193 HQ)
153 (170 HQ)
107 (119 HQ)
※ Materia Slots: 2
※ Advanced Meldable: Yes
※ Required Level: 66
※ Repaired By: Alchemist
※ Repair Material: Grade 7 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: No
※ Desynthesis: Yes
the level 63-ish crafted gear, or the level 60 scrip stuff, should be enough
Could combining the lvl 63 crafted set + lvl 60 scrips tools work?
sure
Hmm and the 63 set is Larch, right?
yeah the larch/ruby cotton stuff
Ruby cotton is the armor?
63 should be about even with the best of the previous expansion
Will I need HQ mats tho
it'll be a definite help
If you give me your exact stats and level, I can try using Teamcraft to make the book
Hmm I'm looking into the ruby cotton set
I only have the waist rn but I don't see it has gauntlets / boots
Job quests can give the gear iirc
The hands and feet of the set are called Gyuki Leather x of crafting
Ok ty I'll search for it
none that I can really name.
ill find someone to craft the set and tell you

will any 6.0 crafting mats for the 1st raid tier be available before the tier itself drops?
most of them won't.
The items specifically for the new raid crafted gear will be added with savage tier launch
so you cant prepare any mats in advanced then?
just the leveling materials
What's the difference between unengaged, engaged, claimed, and unclaimed enemies?
Just wanna sort my display name colors out.
how about the gathering and crafting sets? are they available on launch?
COnfirm, all the things to do in the the wondrous tails journal can be done unsycnhed?
yes
Yes.
Unless it's level 80 dungeon, because duh
Aight; arigatou.
@honest anvil I'm slowing recovering my sanity; I have almost all materials now for the anima weapons 😂
IIRC, something along these lines.
unengaged = not in combat at all
engaged = in combat, but not by you/your party
unclaimed = in combat by your party, but you haven't hit it
claimed = in combat and you've hit it
Just you wait!
❤️
Thank you 
just the baseline level 90 sets.
in terms of endgame gear
71+ dungeons can't be unsynced
Yes, Kat
Ooo
Hello.
so on savage day, all 3 end game crafting, gathering, and raid sets will drop, ye?
non-combat won't get their next endgame set until 6.1, most likely
which in SHB equivalent was the facet gear set
The baseline 90 gear melded will be enough for 2-star crafts.
Until then endgame will be hq of the vendor gear
(assuming they keep to their usual patterns)
Dwarven cotton from shb
Specifically for non combat
Combat will have tomes and ex gear
Wonder when we'll get crafted Titania, sad
thanks Wynne 
how do i determine the stats cap on an item for melding? 😮
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
bottom of the image ^
Sorry for the delay, those are my stats with the gear
CP?
381
and level?
thank you!!
I don't have manipulation tho, so if it requires it I'll go get it
...it requires it, but I'll fiddle around to see if I can do it without it.
it also needs Tempura Platter food, which can be bought at kugane market

though i did just manage one without manipulation, which I'll DM you to avoid further spam
Alright
best way to powerlevel my chocobo companion as a lv80 dragoon?
tempest mobs give good exp but are sparse at the last aetheryte in that area
just, challenge log and fate spam
I kill the Ondo in their base to the northwest corner of the map
There's a semi-big room with like 10-12 of them
of tempest?
ye
thank you
you can grab most of them and drag them to the center without them resetting
just needed a spot to grind em out
at 6k exp per kill I would not mind grinding a rank or two for my companion / doing the challenge log thing
150 mobs to go from rank 8-9
just started monk and the True Strike and Snap Punch animations look ridiculous. do those change?
nope
Damn we already refering to shadowbringers in past tense
Mate shb released in 2019
a while
now i feel old
as free trial when endwalker hits you can probably try to login when its like rly early and with luck you get it but probably rly hard to do the first few days or week
Lol no
You're more likely not even getting in on day 1
Week 1 will probably be nigh impossible to login for free trial
only if you're patient enough 
I never have participated early access before endwalker,is it able to queue old raid with whom doesnt participate early access
No
Free trial isn't allowed queue
Hi all, is this the right channel to ask about things like how to start working on relic weapons?
That's what I mean by nigh impossible
interesting
sure
Which ones
Level 80
You need to finish 5.0 and the entire ivalice questline from stormblood first
The games normal as usual, ppl without early access just can't do the new story. The changes to stuff like summoner are for everyone
The raids?
the alliance raids, yes
Yup
Thank you!
And the end of the questline which isn't technically a raid
So you might have left that undone
okay got it

I need the "an imp mobile" levequest from the GC leves in coerthas but I don't have it in the list, what do ?
Do another leve to reshuffle the currently available leves
I see
Are any summoners on? Need help with my Hud lay out looking like a fishing peir
early monk, why doesn't Bootshine combo-shines after Snap Punch? kinda feels like it should
provides a bonus effect though
snap punch is the end
!action dragon kick
this is what makes bootshine do big dps
snap punch isn't the only skill that grants opo-opo form
on lower level it is though
and?
that's not a reason for it to combo when you'd have to break combo eventually anyway
and skills that give bonuses to following skills light up skills on other classes
they don't for mnk gcds in that way so
^
¯_(ツ)_/¯
because that's more comfortable
ok I guess
but I mean
the buffs your gcds provide aren't what make them light up with the combo outline
regardless it doesn't really matter
they do what they do
i see that they light up because they 'can only be executed in X'
it's just that on other classes, the combo shine works differently
not really
Really cba since its all being changed in 10 days
mnk is rly just 1 long combo that never stops
the form buff from bootshine lights up true strike
Endwalker is changing it?
bootshine combos into true strike, so it also gets the outline when the form buff makes it light up
Endwalker is changing summoner into an entirely different job
It's like comparing red and black mahes
yeah smn gets a big rework
Summoner is basically getting a rework with endwalker, yes
That much of a change
also your UI is a largely personal affair
you should set up in a way that's comfortable for you
Do I need the expansion to get this, or is this game wide
going to affect the game as whole
Well damn.
All job reworks are game wide
Monk is also getting reworked
But to nowhere near the same extent
So can I keep the pet-
You'll still have a pet yes
you can keep carby he's still your friend
But 99% of your icons are about to become useless
Damn so am I going to have to delete my character to change him, or will it automatically get all the new changes
Aside from role actions, uhhhh you're keeping ruin 3, not much else
You get them all, you can play all jobs on the one character anyways
Gotcha
What's the fastest way to get augmented crypt gear ? I want to complete at least one set for one of my jobs before EW. The queue for the Nier raids is long and nobody seems to be praticing anamorphisis anymore...
you're somewhat exaggerating, you're still keeping stuff like raise and physick xD
Fastest: e10 and 11s
Realistic: nier
you could also just wait until EW and buy them with poetics right before you start tbh
is there a good rotation for me to quickly get this 340 oddly specific obsidian quickly?
No
In the context of doing ARR relic books, is there a way to check what fates are up or failing that a way to accelerate fate spawns ?
just gotta check and wait then
relics are basically activities for people who 'back in my day stuff was hard'
Arr fated had a 24hr cooldown back in the day
can use world visit to check other worlds for the fate if its not up on your home world
good point

I did them all while "working from home" afking at the spawn location
A zone can only have a certain amount of fates so you can do other fates in the zone to spawn it faster
@raw granite also clearing fates makes them spawn faster
Will the norvrandt tomes of folklore become cheaper in EW?
Yes
I guess the limit is zone-dependant ?
I literally just said that
also i repeated that because i didnt read your statement
Could be interpreted as there being a limit in general, not that every zone had its own limit
not sure how would that work and why would it work that way
why is the game recommend this ?
hq vs not hq probably?
but don't they have the same stats ?
ye
but one is hq the other one isn't
recommended gear button works in mysterious ways
so what should I do with the exarchic gunblade ?

thank you
recommended button loves to make very confusing decisions
quick question about guild housing
do the 4 members of the fc have to be all online
or it just needs 4 members even if 3 of them are offline?
just needs 4 bodies in the fc, regardless of online status
excellent thank you!
hm
i made a solo one
and asked friends to join their alt
im gonna start recruiting once i get a house
i wonder if you can fill that requirement with 3 alts from your account
ask somebody else to invite them
Question, just got scholar recently, and was wondering, should I keep the fairy by my side, or deploy her near the tank/whoever needs healing?
the fairy has around a 15 or 20 yalm radius for their embrace healing.
manual placement works, but it can lead to accidentally leaving the fairy behind for dungeons
and having to resummon it
You could try a macro that automatically places the pet on your current target, or the 2nd slot of the party list
Oh, how do I set that? I only managed to make the gearset macros and struggled a lot with them 😅
I'm not sure on the exact subcategories, but try this macro
/target <2>
/petaction "Place" <t>
can add a /targetenemy after the pet action to automatically target the closest enemy
Or /tle to re-target the last enemy you had targeted
How do I unlock more of Stone Sky Sea? Mine only has Basic Training
you unlock more options as you unlock more content
they'll automatically be added as you unlock them
So for the Heavensward category of SSS "duties", you'd want to unlock all of Alexander and the savage fights, The Warring Triad and their extreme fights, and then Extreme ||Nidhogg and Thordan||
how do they count subscription "days"? if i resub at 11 pm my timezone, do they calculate 24 hours * 30 days from 11 pm? or is there a specific reset time?
24 hours after you paid for sub
oh ok i guess i might need to unlock some extremes/challenge bosses before they show up as options, thnx
hey guys is there a way to use the in game macro to bind my 3 button combo into 1?
nope
The closest equivalent to a macro that would do that makes you lose a ton of damage by doing so.
and doesn't allow any flexibility
There's a plug-in or two on the XIVlauncher that does what you want
!faq quicklauncher
it's a bad habit and i'd recommend against it
really messes with your muscle memory
and pacing during openers and proper rotations
but yeah, i don't recommend the plug-in either since they all break on patch updates and most maintenances.
alright then, thank you
for BLU can we unsync the ex primals to learn spell ?
yes, but you won't have 100% learn rate
from my personal experience with trial spells, they're like a 10% learn rate when done unsync
Oh, thanks!
cool gfty
only Shiva and Garuda require ex versions though iirc. It’s faster to unsync those for some time than to find 8 BLU doing it synced …
took me 30 minutes ~ unsynced
yep, the rest of the trial spells can be done in normal/hard mode
with Ifrit's spell being obtainable from the level 20 trial
how much exp does Malikah's Well give?
trying to calculate whether it's worth it for one more round or not
what do people spend their allegory's on anymore
Could anyone help me with a macro by any chance, first one that I'm making and I'm not really sure how to do what I want, I have one that just tells my party that Swiftcast in on CD in chat, but I'd like to add how long it's on cd, is there any way to automatically grab the timer on it and throw it in there? Something like "Swiftcast on CD for 34 seconds!"
Actually nvm, managed to put the right words into google to drag up what I need
I am a pretty new 80 and having issues getting my gear to proper levels to run post-Shadowbringer MSQs. I think I am 427 now. I have just been running the Duty Roulettes once for each type to get the daily bonuses in tomestones then going to Eulmore and trading them in for gear. In previous expansions there were vendors I could buy pretty good gear with gil. Is there a better way to gear up?
If you have the gil you can get exarch gear from the marketboard. They're at 510 which is more than enough to finish msq
I don't know what is enough gil. I have 2.5 million. That may be the same as having $10 in pocket. 🙂
You can go to a marketboard and check^^ 2.5 mill should be enough
OK. Thank you sir or madam!
is it true reaper will share gear with dragoon... thinking about farming a few glam sets
ty, just resubbed a few weeks ago so have been catching up.... wanted to make sure before starting @warm snow
we do not have a job that share gears with Ninja yet right?
i mean accs share with phys ranged
DRG is sharing with EW Reaper, which is cool
but yeah its the odd man out now
And all melee jobs share accs
now why the fuck all 3 melee in ARR had different armor is beyond me
Besides ninja
they basically suggested with rpr they don't want jobs to have their own armor sets so we'll probably get another melee that uses scouting eventually
how much exp does Malikah's Well give?
trying to calculate whether it's worth it for one more round or not
fairly close to lvl 79
We don't know
do it if you want else do pixie dailies or a few hunts
yeah but i doubt they will release a new melee job right after Reaper
so its going to be a while
i'd spitball like 5 mil exp?
didn't say it would come in 7.0, but yeah.
we'll probably get a caster next
I find Scouting good lookign sets, but I'm not playing Ninja so I do want to see another job
Caster and phys ranged is my bet tbh
so... quick question, does ffxiv do any automatic network scanning or anything like that?
what would you even make up for a new physical ranged
pretty sure ffxiv doesnt do any sort of clientside checks, that's what allows for mods like texture and model swaps
they're game devs, they can make a new job even if we can't think of one ourselves 
boomerang, whip

that kinda sounds silly
blitzball 
also dancers are basically boomerangs
none that i'm aware of, no
new physical ranged job: trebuchet
id be down for that
yeet the nearby ranged teammate to the boss so they can finally receive healing!
question folks, what's a good DPS build for bozja on gunbreaker
essence of maritalist/bloodsuckser is a given , but what should be in my lost actions?
huh, dont have blood rage unlocked
Then take Banner of Sacrifice
Banner and Font are standard for any melee
how do you get blood rage btw, any specific methods of grinding it?
Dalriada
the one thing i havent done yet
well i'll have to be there soon enough
ty for the help
Is it ok to post an ss of e11s from mtq over here?
Or should I spoiler tag it
E11s spoilers
For the dragon bait during sundered sky, will it aways point towards the cardinals accurately or it depends on how we bait it?
Cause based on logs we got hit by the dragon's cleave
Resounding crack
You need to bait it properly, it's the first thing you do for sundered sky
If you got hit then it was slightly baited wrong
is there any reason to keep doing squadron stuff after i get captain?


it'll 100% happen on ew release
