hmm i jsut got the skill and items still have the desynth grayed out on them
the lastest raid gear isn't desynthable until the patch after though for whatever reason
what's the gear
if it's last nier tier or last eden tier gear, can't desynth until 6.0
everything else should be desynthable
Expanse Cane
do you have the right desynth for it?
hmm actually not sure if you needed lvl 30 on the right desynth
can you desynth other stuff?
let me check. i lietrally jsut got it
Isn't it dependent on class and desynth lvl
deysnth lvl doesn't matter anymore
but I'm not 100% sure if you need class at 30 for each desynth type or only on one for the quest
might need the specific class though like repairs
When does the EW Maint start?
Lv30 on that crafter
looks like most are grayed out, but one weapoin thats lv 10 item i can do, do i need to do lower lv items first ?
!expansion
!maint in #kupo-bot-spam
im Goldsmith lv 68
one day less than expansion time
Do we know when 6.1 hits?
april or so? but no date yet
3-4months later
o i see,
can you desynth like accessories maybe?
Why did housing have to be in 6.1 
it is the repair lv. job.
tried to buy endwalker pre-order didn't work out, apparently the card which I used to buy the starter edition a few days ago is wrong now, any suggestions? also tried paypal but it just redirects to a payment cancelled page
Each crafter does different items
oh ok wasn't sure it worked like that, then yeah you need the right jobs at 30+
ok ya i see now
I think the question have been asked a 1000 times but I can't find any info (certainly bcs I don't know hwo to look for an info XD). Do we have more infos about the update for EW? When it will starts, ends.. etc
ty
30 isn't very long though
Lodestone
Maintenance post has been up for days
thank you i'll check that now!
dang i thought desynth was universal ahha
Oh easier, i'll do that!
so is there a best class for desyth that does most of them? like black smith or carpenter ?
gsm is generally the fastest one to cap since so many accessories drop
and cul/alch tend to be useless since no dungeon gear drops for them(alch only books, and even sometimes the books are gsm and shit)
ok cool
if you want to focus on them in terms of how often they're useful for dungeon desynth, then it'd likely be gsm > ltw > weaver > arm > crp > bsm > alch > cul or something like that
but for like trial desynth, bsm would be much higher since a lot of weapons are metal based
meanwhile ltw/wvr would be at the bottom since trials don't drop armor
ya looking at weapions BSM is on most
im GSM so i should focus on rings and such ?
yeah weapons is largely bsm, crp, gsm, little bit of alch(books) and arm(pld shield)
well I mean you just desynth whatever you can
kk
but I'd definitely just lvl everything to 30
or well to 50 for cross class
and eventually cap everything, crafting generally more or less requires every job, although some are more optional than others(cul especially)
ok thanks. very helpful
Is there any text to speech or anything i can set up for quest text bubbles?
"Players can no longer cast lots on coffers containing multiple gear pieces if they contain a unique item the player already possesses." Does anyone know what this means exactly?
Important text will appear in your event chat log
Assuming it will stop you rolling on a chest coffer if you already have the chest for that job you're on
To stop people rolling on coffers for alts
Probably
it says coffers with multiple pieces and not all coffers though
I mean for like doing msq and stuff, i just cant do all this reading
only example I can think of is 2B's glamour
I mean I get where they are coming from but why would they not let us gear multiple jobs?
So my game has become unplayably bad for some reason this afternoon. I have done literally nothing as far as my pc etc so it should function identically to this morning or any day before today. Other characters frequently stop moving for a few seconds, it's taking several seconds for action effects to occur, my movement isn't synced to the server so I'm dying to aoes and so on. Help
and I guess PLD new weapon+shield coffer if you have the shield and desynthed the weap? but you can just throw away the shield so not sure what's the point
But those items were not unique right?
It would stop people stealing gear from people who need it
the items are unique
And make you run the content with your alt jobs
the coffers aren't
what do I with my preview relic weapon tier ?
or well the coffers are unique too
but you can roll for a 2B coffer even if you have 2B gear
We'll see how it properly works when it's added
that said most ppl have 2B gear in dresser
Only assumptions for now
so not sure it does anything
Like the way that sounds it stops you from gearing alts all together
na
You would run content with the alt
However, it is still possible to cast lots on coffers such as weapon coffers, whose contents differ according to the player's current class or job when it is opened.*
But then wouldnt it have to say gear you have equipped? And not gear in your posession
it says "such as" which means it's not limited to weapon coffers, and all armor/acc coffers will also pick depending on your class
can I throw away previous tier relic weapons ?
It's looking at gear that the current jobs uses
or can I use it for something better ?
so it seems to be really for only a specific type of coffer, maybe something they'll be adding this expansion
relics are only relevant for their given expansion
Keep them for glam
If you want ofc, outdated tiers have no value beyond
I just want to put my gae bolg in my dresser
i doubt I will get pass my current non shiny manatrigger before servers go down
Im suspecting there will be some more glam coffers from the alli raid, but giving better chances to other players this time
so I want to clean up my inventory
If you max out a relic weapon then you can also buy replicas of previous steps
anyway the description for that is vague so I'd say it's worth waiting to see what's up with it, I wouldn't really assume it affects all savage coffers or anything just yet
there are no battle leves after HW yea?
nope
ok thanks
so I can throw away crownsblade with no problem ?
if it's finished yeah, if it's not you'd need to keep it in case you want to finish it later
yeah im on mana trigger rn
I'd put it in the glam dresser but I think you can calamity salvage it if you dump it I suppose?
can get a replica for glamour purposes if it's finished, but the actual weapon is useless, besides being good for ~5 levels for lvlling in EW
It's still decent for certain jobs for non-tea ults
cause you can cap stats without waste

what is the best blue mage guide ? i've seen plenty idk which one to choose
guide for what?
leveling/getting spells
leveling is just ask a friend to tag kill kholusia mobs for you
Balance has BLU resources
from solo leveling, to a spell checklist, to how to get them
getting spells doesnt have a guide guide .. mostly just know where they are and go in, kill stuff to learn ..
can use balance like the link above or use ffxivcollect like i did
alright thanks a lot
Should I destroy my belts?
oh nice i will join
unless your belt is a speed belt, sure ~
doesn’t have to be now though, can desynth later
You can sell to vendors or exchange for GC seals
Is there a subscription sale for ff14 or did I miss one?
Subscription never goes on sale.
will i need to get endwalker to be able to level up to 90?
oh
Yes.
thx
so what can I do with TT cards I have in my inventory but already claimed
you can take them to the triple triad trader at the golden saucer to turn them in for MGP
oh cool
Hay whats a fast way to make gil? I ran out upgrading my gunbreaker
so if I throw away my gae bolg I can buy it later and put it in my dresser ?
Only relic replicas can go in the dresser
To get replicas of an ARR relic, you need to complete the entire relic.
But yes you can freely buy back the first step from the calamity salvager.
depends, you got friends? crafters/gatherers leveled up? doing your roulettes?
where can I trade in my cards in the golden saucer ?
at the entrance square (blue area, bottom left), there's a vendor called the "Triple Triad Trader"
Friends dropped the game months ago, i could focus on fishing, and yes daily
I got caught up in the endwalker hype, is it worth buying skips so that I can experience the hype on release?
I've barely started Heavensward as of now.
definitely not, if you care even a smidgen about the story you'll miss a lot of the actual hype if you just drop in out of context
and the expac isn't going anywhere
was gonna say if you had friends you could do treasure maps, for gatherer you can see if anything sells well (look at culinarian recipes) and just spam sell it for money
Oh culinary? Okay thank you
they're the crafter that uses fish the most
so look at high level recipes from that crafter to find fish that they need
found it thank you
I see...how about just skipping Stormblood? I've heard people said it's the weakest expansion
an 8 or 9/10 between two 10/10s is still an 8 or 9/10
Weakest doesn't mean bad
and you will still miss a lot of story context
stormblood sets up a lot of character and story threads that endwalker will take on
if all you care for is the gameplay, don't let us stop you skipping, but if you even have the slightest interest in the story we can't recommend against it enough
Hello, How can i know how many leves allowance left ?
go to your journal (press J on PC), it's at the bottom center
Journal
is blood sworn the highest you can acheive for BT ?
Hmm so far I'm not super entranced by the story though I've only cleared ARR and I heard others said it gets better from there
it does indeed get considerably better
it's a final fantasy story that's trying to pick up the ashes of literally a trainwreck
for what it's worth it's significantly better than 1.0
a realm reborn is still decent and does a lot of world building, but each subsequent expansion actually begins to pay off what you've learned over ARR and starts new and very engaging stories
it's with good reason the free trial includes heavensward
Stormblood is SUCH major context for Endwalker.
If you care about story I wouldn't recommend skipping anything
If you don't care about story, whatever.
Endwalker is wrapping up a lot of major plot points from Stormblood yeah
on top of everything else left over from ARR
can only say that each expansion's story isn't self-contained
it leads on from and expands from previous expansions
yeah the calamity salvager does sell the gae bolg but I can't put that in the dresser either
you may still be able to enjoy an expansion without any context but you will miss a lot of references and the impact of story moments will be lessened
how to turn off /shout /yell and /say
chat log options under character config
what do i do with my belts
anything but wear them
after the patch, whatever you damn well please
You don't have to do anything
let them get eaten by the calamity salvage
desynth them
sell them
keep them for sentimental value
completely up to you
Any belts that you're wearing or have in your armoury chest before the patch will be transported to the Calamity Salvager.
I read the Lodestone announcement but I'm still a little bit confused; what time is Endwalker available to play?
You can retrieve materia melded to your belts after the patch, and turn them in or whatever
!expansion
That time
Do you have to have inventory space for them? (belts)
No, they are going to the Calamity Salvager
You do not have to do any prep of any kind for the belt removal
it's all taken care of
can i trade the Maid outfit one buys from the mogstation to the butler outfit in-game, similarly to how one can trade the FF13 and FF10 outfits for their counterparts?
can i ask questions about the pre-order here?
you can ask anything, just depends on whether or not we have the answer 
that is why i wanted to know, got the maid outfit but really want the butler one, so if i could get it without buying it then that would be nice
okay so my service account is based in NA and when i... ordered the early access, apparently i was using the EU website which wouldn't work because i tried the "debit now" option and for some reason it came back to the same debit now page after entering the last 4 digits of my card
The only prep needed for belts is to extract materia from belts at 100% Spiritbond
refund the EU preorder get the NA code
Since that option is being removed
and checked my bank account, nothing was debited
can someone help me get mind blast pls
It's guaranteed unsync so you can solo iy at higher levels or with just basic instinct and white wind
!faq partyfinder
HOWEVER, i've already gotten the early release code from the EU one which i've entered months ago and got my menphina's earrings back then.
now, i went to the NA website and purchased the same pre-order, this time i got debited, got another code but there's no option to enter it into my mogstation
will this cause an issue later on? will i get my collector's edition stuff? cos i really want the airon mount too
alright, fingers crossed it won't have issues come friday which is when i assume we'll be getting stuff if not on the 7th
i got white wind but where do i get basic instinct
!action Basic Instinct
Increases movement speed by 30%, and healing magic potency and damage dealt by 100%. Also ignores the damage penalty inflicted by Mighty Guard.
Can only be used in duties intended for two or more players while playing alone, while no other party members are in the instance, or when all party members are incapacitated. Effect ends when joined by one or more party members.
A behavior learned from certain species of coeurl, the caster rises to the challenge of losing comrades by tapping into a feral survival instinct. When all seems lost, or when simply treading where a lone mage was not meant to tread, unrestrained ferocity is sometimes the only way to win through.

How long does lvl 70-80 take using the firmament?
If you have all the mats ready, a few hours
Just crafting everything up and handing it in
Uhh in that case I'll just wait for levemetes allowances I thnk
What's going to happen to the thavnarian bustier
It’s becoming wearable by male characters
It binded to you once you put it in
No, once it’s been in your dresser it’s bound
Ahhh damn it
are there any exp farming methods for BLU or do i just find monsters that are the same level as me?
There’s a speed leveling method but it requires a level 80 buddy
Make sure you’re not partied together, then you go around pulling high level mobs and letting your partner kill them
As long as you got the first hit, you get full exp for the mob
if you're solo you just kill stuff same/higher level than you for chain xp

will the moogle tomestones come back sometime?
They usually happen near the tail-end of patches
phew, I already thought I had to go full sweat today
Always with different tomes
It’ll be different tomes and different rewards
You won't get the current tomes ever again
uh oh
If you want the Ifrit jacket then get it now, because there’s no guarantee it’ll ever come back
Everything else is obtainable ingame
even the BMG outfit ?
BMG?
I am a bit confused, the msq wants me to go trough this level transition but I cant go trough there. What do I do?
black mage
Chocobo porter
The npcs said to use it
The Bonewicca set is dungeon gear
Yes that’s dungeon gear
o ok cool
Hi i was trying to read the patch notes but didnt find any info about this, will there be lvl 80 allagan gear set after endwalker? like the ones you get in ishgard for 60 and kugane for 70
From The Swallow’s Compass, a level 70 dungeon.
It's cryptlurker
Cryptlurker will be for poetics
thank you very much
You can't pre download EW on the PS4 yet right? Because there's already a "transfer" button on the store that doesn't do anything and the timer on top is still going, 20 something hours left
preload wont be until at least 8 hours into the maint
twitter, reddit, basically any FFXIV social media
Do raids or trials count towards challenge log ? Im trying to avoid completing the challenge log accidentally
You reckon we’ll need do the previous class quests in SB to do the ones in EW? Same for crafters
which one
Any of the trials or raids that give tomestones
There's no trials or raids in challenge log
you wont have to do class quests for Sharlyan quests
Just dungeon
Ohh okay just making sure on the wording
commends count though
so don't give out commends(or at least not more than 4), even if trial/raid

Same for crafters too? Cuz I see the prereq is The Faculty, but couldn’t find anything on it. Leveled all crafters but only did all the quest for one :p
the faculty is in the list
think the job quests stopped past stormblood
The Faculty
Disciple of the Hand or Land level 80
Old Sharlayan (X:4.0 Y:9.4)
Qih Aliapoh
Players must progress to a certain point in the main scenario, and have completed the quest "Inscrutable Tastes."
so just collectable unlock quest
Does anyone know what will happen to raw HQ mats? Will they just be converted or sty as they are
stay, but give no benefits
Tyy
Was there a way to hold onto 2 wonderous tails books? I heard there was but it seems I have to hand one in for a new one
hold onto the WT book until after maint
Aaaaahhhhhhh yep yep. That makes sense
Is there a guide for materia anywhere?
!faq stats
I meant like, a complete guide for how melding works. But I remembered Google exists anyway
!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.
Ey, that's also nice
hey guys when i go on a duty mission and when i play an npc it gets a separate hot bar without any keybinds how do i make it so that it temporarily replaces my current hot bar?
does this mean items you sell to npcs have had price reduced or npcs items that they sell have been reduced
when you vendor items
a friend just told me that diadem will be removed in endwalker? is that true?
cuz im still sitting on a lot of mats
no
diadem wont change
however we dont know if theyll introduce a new grade or anything
probably wont but
¯_(ツ)_/¯
what kinda friends you rolling with
So JFC, I have early access to Endwalker on PSN Even though it states that Endwalker goes live on the 7th? Doesn't say anything about EA on the 3rd.
endwalker the patch goes live in about 48 hours
for all intents and purposes its full EW
did you register your early access code?
Is the EA code supposed to come with the purchase on PSN?
for the wanderers minuet. Should I always wait to have 3 stacks before using it?
yes
unless WM is about to expire
think the only thing we know in regards to diadem/firmament changes is that you will only get 1000xp if trying to do turn-ins past 80
it feels so much better to play now
if i remember the notes correctly
Anyone having problems downloading the game on ps4?
I hit the download button and nothing happens
I don't think I got one, I got the pre-order bonuses like the minion and the earring
that's the EA code
maybe it just does it automatically on psn then
but yeah if you have the minion and earring
you have ea
PSN doesn’t deal with codes.
does it make sense to farm bi-color gems now to get that sweet mount speed boost in EW?
Can my friend play as a viera if they don’t own SHB?
you'll still have to spam out fates to level up your gemstone shop
nope, they need shadowbringers
Ah okay
i see 🤔
Leves are getting reset with EW launch ye?
Not that I heard of.
Grrrr why isn’t it downloading on ps4
They’re just buffing single-item leves and nerfing triple turn-in
Ah, can't remember who said it but heard it here somewhere
also triple turn ins will not exist in EW leves
ye
Why am I getting "404 – Page not found
Rewind time and try again" when trying to buy an expansion?
Just reactivated my account from 2013.
Is it because it is awaiting the release of EW and when I buy that I get all of them or what?
!faq buy
i cant prepare beast tribe quests, right? like do them today and turn them in tomorrow morning before reset and then do another set at the same tribe or something
or wait
im stupid
i confused myself
dw about it
you can but you'll only be able to turn them in on the job you started them on
Has nobody tried to download on PS4 yet?
PC is not on that list, only consoles and MAC
There is literally no difference
I can't tell you what's wrong without more information
@obsidian patio
Just wondering if it’s me or not
Not yet
Patch download for Endwalker will be during the maintenance
Probably around 8-12 hours after it starts
Maybe later.
That "how to buy the game" faq only includes consoles and MAC, not PC (unless I am missing something)
Oh okay. Hmm weird that the download button appears in PSN
PC is literally the same
I guess it’s just a dummy button or something
Yes, yes you are
It's the exact same
then why do you have to choose for which platform you buy it?
because mogstation is fucking wild
Because platform licencing
Let's go playonline backend and shit SE account management
Blame steam and sony
and why do they have a buybutton under the subs on mogstation?
Although their account management is better
which button are you talking about?
on mogstation, where it shows which expansions you own, you can click buy
but it just takes you to a 404
looks like its not enabled for your region
some regions you can purchase the expansion direct off mog
my region is EU so that is very weird
its weird
anyways time to set the counter back to 0 for "how many days have we gone without mogstation issues"
it never gets past the single digits
People were not kidding when they said that the hardest part of the game is actually buying the game...
theyre aware of how bad it is but unfortunately it is one of the few things out of Yoshi-p's hands
One more question then.
If I wait to buy EW, will that include shadowbringers and stormblood
great. no reason to buy an expansion now then anyway
we dont know if you will be able to play them during EA but its guarenteed after launch
We do
Since I played in 2013 I'm only at lvl 50 anyway so got a good while until I even reach stormblood
That's how it worked in shb
Free trial players won’t be able to log in at all I’m guessing once EA hits?
you can try
Lol pretty much
but if there's a queue you will be shunted to the back
Thanks for all the help, time to go outside and play in the snow with my daughter, toodles
*shunted out the back door
They have to wait for there to not be a queue
the official FAQ says after Dec 7th
so literally the answer is
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Isn’t there a queue at all times though? At least on my server there’s at least a 30 man queue at all times of day
I’ve never seen there not be a queue
Whats ea?
there's a difference between the ddos protection queue and actual congestion queues
the period between 6.0 maint and official launch
Early access is temporary ownership of endwalker
They still get the other expacs that come with it
Again, that's how it worked in shadowbringers

im just stating what the FAQ says
yes
So what will the average queue to get into a server be do you think once EW launches? 2000, 3000?
Or higher
24 hours or less since there's no housing or raids
max queue
5 digit+
17000
Easily
Wow
W O W
I think just by saying that word 3 times, a bunch more women turned into fruit paintings somewhere…

its the max queue size the login server can handle
Just to make sure, I can still get the EXP ring from pre ordering, right? I've been waiting to buy EW until I had the money to do so
Thanks! I'll get it later tonight
and each datacenter gets one login server, not one per server/world
If I buy it on PS4, it'll just go to me automatically or something, right?
Yep
Thanks!
You just need to close the game, open it back up, and log in
when I finish the free trial, can I buy the game and sub and continue with that same character?
yes
Although there isn't really a finish to the trial
anyone knows the ip for the datacenters?
!faq datacenterip

Anyone else got a big download for FFXIV? I thought at first it was pre-download, but nobody else I know got it, so I'm wondering if the game somehow got uninstalled by accident
If you only recently upgraded to owning shadowbringers it's downloading a shit ton of that content
Nah, I played ShB on launch
I was doing ShB NG+ earlier today. Then I turned the game off. Now I opened it again, and there's a 63 GB download
That sounds like it redownload the whole game
don't get my hopes up
Yeah, it would seem that way, but I have literally no idea why it would do that
And it also kinda pisses me off, because it's costing me 4 hours of the very limited time I had to play the game before EW launch
hmm right now some of the ending 80 MSQ do not give any xp. Will that change on Friday ?
Yes, but it won't be a lot i think
kk
Patch msq has always been awful, so it's really not worth waiting for
3 leves granted every 12 hours. Does that include the 24 hour maintenance? should I do 6 more cookie quests?
Yes it does
Cookie time
Benchmark will still work during maint,right?
For some reason I can't remember - Will our scrips reset back to 0?
benchmark is completely offline
oof :(
no
scrips is the inverse of how poetics work
Nice, go ahead and cap those. I never 'prep' for the expansions properly. Don't care much about the free half a level but I like to carry over useful currencies/items.
80 scrips stay 80, new 90 scrips are introduced, 70 scrip can be exchanged
Ohhh right, there is more than just one type.
So I guess capping the 80 ones isn't worth it
as in, it only needs local files to run
offline does not mean doesnt work
Hey guys, looking to try the game for the first time ever. Is there a certain edition/deal that I should buy?
the free trial, but there's only a week left to preorder endwalker for the preorder bonuses if you want them
!faq buy
Oh ty. And can I save appearance in benchmark and somehow transfer it to the normal game?
yes thats what the benchmark is for yes
So if I'm reading this correctly... do the free trial until close to EW release and then pre-order?
preorder EW now, get the free trial whenever
the EW preorder code is said to be valid until march
i mean get the starter edition
Is the starter edition all dlc except for endwalker?
Oops I meant complete edition
at the moment correct
Thank you
$60 for it all minus ew seems like a pretty good deal
starter + EW will be better in literally 24 hours
How? Won’t that be missing stormblood and shadow bringers
EW includes both
Oh
its a linear story
so they give you everything thats on the way to the current expac
So I should just buy starter and do the ew pre order to get all content?
yes
Thank you!
*and the preorder bonuses
Is ea everything or is it limited in a way?
Everything
Everything
why can't i use grade 2 and 3 materia ?
Grade 1 first
Can shire gear carry me through SB class quest, or would I have to buy gear from MB?
gotta go 1 > 2 > 3 > 4
When you're maxed on grade 1 then you can use grade 2
oh ok well that's hype
mostly, but also depends on the job
so i need 75 grade 1 ?
Depends on the job
GNB and DNC want scaevan for the 70 quest
For all of them. I have my class at 80 but only 60 gear.
how do I unlock grade 2
marketboard
you meld t1s until you cant
then t2s
then t3s
etc
how many grade 1 do I need ?
Also no exact number cuz the more you meld the lower your meld chance
For that specific materia
however many it takes until you dont need t1s
thankfully it doesnt take your alexandrite
but still
anywhere from 20 to 100 depending on how RNG is feeling
like how many success do I need to unlock grade 2
!faq zeta
Depends on the weapon
!faq zodiac
this shit is way too confusing
Here's a full more detailed guide
Like I said, arr says fuck you
will alliance raids, normal raids or trials effect this?
Is this game like most MMO's where there are 500x more DPS than Tanks/Healers for dungeons and raids?
i have 18 grade 1 materia in there, so now what ? grade 2 still lock
gotta keep going my dude
And how many t1 of each type?
maybe a bit of an exaggeration on your part, but generally yes
way more dps than tanks/healers
who thought up this shit?
the good news is that since you can have multiple jobs on one character most people dabble in multiple roles
it has to be the same materia type
Was just curious as to which job to go for, coming from WoW it's always 45 minute queues for DPS and instant for healers/tanks. So wanted to avoid that
so pick one stat and that one has to be +11 before you can meld t2s
Duty Finder has a Role In Need bonus for roulettes
yeah no, standard dps queue here is maybe 15-20 minutes at worst (for somewhat popular content)
also roulettes keep all non-extreme and above content relevant
it isn't generally that long for dps but it is longer than tanks and healers usually. but it's like 15-20 mins max, as cypher said
but yes, for tanks and healers you get maybe 5 minutes
healers will probably be a bit longer come the new expac as we're getting a new one
it's not 45 minutes outside of some rare downtime or stuff you shouldn't que df for (ex trials, coils), but dps queues are like 10-30 mins usually?
sometimes instant if you catch a nice time for roulettes
Very cool, looking into a healer class now thanks
yes
Or job? I'm not sure lol
i thought it wouldn't affect it
but alliance roulette finished the roulette one
rip my 10% exp
wait, does this mean i can use grade 1 materia for all 75 slot ?
no
Really? I was sure that didn't work for me at one point, gotta check sometime
so the classes you start with (thaumaturge, archer, etc) are called classes but become jobs at 30 (black mage, bard, etc) as well as new jobs that are just jobs
that's just technicality though. people call them either and nobody cares really
jobs are extensions to classes, but are virtually the same thing if you are coming from other games
For example Gladiator is a class that turns into the job Paladin, but Paladin is just an extension of Gladiator
and upgrade if you will
its quite literally a relic from 1.0
yeah sadly
if it wasnt for the fact it would break a shit ton of things they'd just turn classes into jobs
yea
idk if it's a tooltip bug or what but i lost my prep that way. could even affect the 5 dungeons too if that's the case but i also accidentally borked that with a trust
Ah thank you for the explanation, one more newbie question and I'll stop bothering you guys, can healers level pretty effectively solo? Like do decent enough damage to complete quests?
yes, any role can
all jobs can complete the FFXIV MSQ
but, just to immediately dispel some illusions
yes, and "decent" is a good word for healer dps
the main story is mandatory and is your main way to level your first job
it's not so much about fast leveling and more about just... doing the quests
it's not like wow for example where you can jump straight into endgame content once you hit max level
if you hit max level here and haven't done the story you are just lacking access to the content
ya, things like dungeon spam only really matter for alternate jobs. and if you're a dps where queues would make that hard, there's palace of the dead which doesn't have compositions so you get near-instant queues as dps
So maintenance for tomorrow is the whole day basically right?
yes
24 hours yep
Dang lol
Awesome thanks again
Anyone have cheap/easy farmable ideas for GC turnins? (Trying to load up on Ventures, have sub 100)
do dungeons unsync > turn in gear > profit
unsynced shisui of the violet tides if you have a well-equipped 80
Awesome, will give it a shot.
i get like 15k in 7 minutes

Hi, if I buy EW now but resub on friday (account not active) I will be able to play EA or only if I had sub before maintaince?
youll need to download EW first but there's no difference correct
you can redeem EW now
*redeem the EA code
and EW
or something
Can you be gifted the EW code for use in account? Does it like just automatically apply when the code is entered?
Assuming it's not a PSN code yes
alright thanks for answers ^^
heya does anyone know if a daily reset will happen during the endwalker maintenence
ye
okay ^^ wanted to make sure it was safe to do roulettes and stuff today
It's up before reswt
does the 15 cost mask from the moogle stones work on bunnys?
thursdays reset wouldnt happen either?
It would have
Yes
Since it'd past Thursday rest
do the 4 player trials count towards the weekly “do 5 dungeons” challenge log?
It's not a dungeon
kk
i guess i could use that to get my commendations to 4/5 then solo dungeons to 4/5 :p
is there explanation why mor dhona weather soap (gloom?) sometimes?
Do they actually do 24h maintenance tomorrow?
it's estimated to be 24 h
But there's a chance it could end early
do we get notified, if its done? email or something?
And reddit/discord going buck wild
Weather changes all the time in game, to see the forecast for any area: https://eorzea-weather.info/en
Eorzea Weather is a web application that displays a list of weather forecasts during the game of FINAL FANTASY XIV.
EW starts friday at daily reset right ?
ah okay thank you, guys!
yeah but like when does it actually go live
!expansion
Dec. 3, 2021 9:00 (GMT)
We don’t know if the maintenance will end early, so 4AM est etc
Expansions never end early
can you still get the primal part when desynthesizing even when your desynth level is low?
Yes
no i mean like
is there explanation to why it is gloom sometime lore wise not gameplay wise
I would assume it has something to do with the large amount of aether stored in the ground there
a giant synthetic moon crashed there and there's also something weird under the lake but that is a good question :p
probably better to ask in #archived-lore-spoilers
ah ok
yeah explorin that is spoiler territory but also be wary of all the other spoilers in there lol
Mor dhonas aether is all kinds of fucky due to events in 1.0
where should i stay before ew lunch for better joining
an instanced area like an inn room
is small house works too ?
oki Thanks
reaper unlocks in limsa?
Yup
Exact coordinates in the preliminary patch notes
The amount of public roleplay
Reaper is in Uldah, not Limsa. Sage is in Limsa
Imma assume most of them will shelve that for msq too
reaper is ul dah, not limsa. limsa is sage.
Uldah on balmung on launch monkaS
Broil and Stone/Glare are having their cast times reduced to match Malefic, IIRC?
yes
yes
Hell yeah
all 1.5s cast times, yeah
which is a godsend
same with sage
especially for sch
does holy even need to
Do we expect full patch notes during downtime, or after?
Only preliminary
fuck man
Full notes during maint
why is reading hard
we will get the full notes during maint tomorrow
mood
full notes is mainly just job changes and crafting recipes
Yeah, job changes is what I (and I assume most others) want
Look for the updated Job guide on the lodestone when it's posted
Ofc with the weapon damage partity changes, don't put stock in the potency adjustments from current skills
So with the anima upgrade quests is it just to upgrade stats?
Or will it change it appearance
Do magic or physical weapons currently have higher damage?
Jobs can out damage eachother if one isn’t played well
Is it required to finish Bozja and or Eden to get into Endwalker? A friend of mine said that it is required, but I never heard of this claim.
I mean based on the 6.0 damage changes. Which way is the adjustment going?
No, neither are required.
I mean if you want gear without spending money
Thank you
I believe in the LL they talked about it, Magic had higher damage multiplier than physical
It was during the 6 hour combat live letter they talked about it
When they revealed why it they were doing the partity
hey for the two blu weekly logs, do you have to silence echo and do min ilvl?
so was there really no second version of level 80 job gear for the whole duration of shadowbringers? i kept thinking i just didn't look hard enough and we could augment it
No
Just sync, no echo
meaning you still need a bunch of blue mages
Memoria Ex
says on the log thing when you hover doesn't it?
ah, thanks!
even for things that are easily soloable
Drops dyeable job gear
Memoria misera Ex, Idealised X

In every step, the weapon will either get glowier or change in model.
There isn't too much value in speccing it for stats at this point given that it's been surpassed several times over already in power.
But as the saying goes, meta is fleeting, glam is forever.
If you love the way the weapon looks, go for it.
Are each version there own weapons?
Like
Can I glam any version of them
you can buy replicas as you unlock each step
When you finish the weapon, you can go to one of the nodes next to Gerolt to buy replicas for glam.
or for ARR, only after finishing the whole thing
so if i resubbed on friday can i still play endwalker ?i got all the preorder stuff
for anima, it's when you get hyperconductive
yes
Here's a big picture with screenshots of every single version of the weapon for every class.
Well, it's not mandatory.

The drip
And they'll get outstatted pretty quickly in Stormblood.
Drip last forever
They're easy at cap to do
Yeah.
Oh I’d imagine
Honestly I just grind them out passively.
The annoying part is just the fate stuff
Just buy the materials here and there whenever I'm about to cap on poetics.
Not really thinking about it until I have everything.
(I still need to level BRD so I can get Terpander Lux for that sweet, sweet ultimate weapon look.)
Seriously.

Tell me that bow doesn't look like it was forged by God.
the only bad thing about anima relics is that they came out in HW
Sorry. I'm done.
Do you need to have subscription time before the early release of endwalker to play in it or can you sub at any time assuming you preordered
Can you elaborate
Well you need a sub to log in soooo
You need a subscription to access the launcher
@elder veldt#questions-and-help message
i asked the same qurstion before
theres the answer i got
Ah lol thanks
Can weekly quests only be picked up once per week or turned in once? So if I have a weekly from before the reset, can I turn that in and then pick up a new one directly after?
I'm fairly sure it's picked up weekly
Hi, quick question, if u accidentally bought a wrong piece with antiquity token, can u refund and get the token bk?
Will you need to be level 80 to proceed with msq? or can you go into endwalker msq with level 70 reaper?
Thanks 
lvl 80
no
you will need to meet the quest level requirement so no you cannot do Endwalker without leveling reaper to 80 first
How to get to endwalker content. Where is reaper and sage located?
sad :C
So would you advise using 2 wonderous tails experience on reaper or your main level 80 Day 1? will msq require level 81 or 82 after a few missions usually?
!faq ewjobs
Endwalker Expansion Jobs: Reaper(Maiming DPS) and Sage(Healer).
These jobs start at level 70 and require ownership of the Endwalker Expansion, as well as a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic at level 70.
Job Unlock Locations:
Reaper - Flustered Attendant at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:12.8 Y:8.6) - Quest Name: The Killer Instinct
Sage - Sharlayan Maiden - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:9.4 Y:12.9) - Quest Name: Sage's Path
To get to level 71 so that you can do ShB dungeons or Bozja
And for the MSQ: you start it off where you ended the ShB MSQ: in the rising stones
Oh I misread, thought I saw "why would you"
Good point
I've only recently unlocked Bozja and heard it'll be a great way to level Reaper quickly come EW. I'm only like rank 5, is there more I need to do in prep so Bozja is a good leveling source or am I good just going in as is doing Fates and stuff?
Wouldn't it be easier to do MSQ Praetorium roulette with Reaper or did they change the exp?
You can only get that exp bonus once a day
Zadnor gives more everything else overall but the BSF has the majority of the lost actions so
hello, where should i logout to progress the story right after logging in for EW?
Mor Dhona
Rising stones specifically
rising stones, thanks! 
what does desynthesizing do?
Breaks down an item into crafting materials
excuse me does anyone knows if the Ishgard restoration will still work on 6.0 for crafting and gathering???
honestly, I'll just discard them since I'm not gonna use the materials for now
It should
Yep it's new
Since more than a few players doing the MSQ for the first time got hit by the ilvl lockout by accident
Better to exchange the gear for GC seals then, and vendor anything else. You'll earn less for most of the components selling them on the MB than you would for just vendoring the item whole.
GC seals? now that I can do
plus, I'm on free trial, so the MB isn't even an option
Then yeah, exchange what you can for GC seals, and just NPC vendor the rest.
White and white
gear can't be exchanged for seals, but green, pink, and most blue gear can.
desynthing an item is really only worth it for unique crafting mats not obtainable any other way, like Trials boss gear that desynths into components for Trial crafted gear
or demimaterias that are occasionally required for some minor stuff
The Calamity Salvager will hold them
calamity salvager for equipped and armoury
Until you pick them up to get rid of them.
so where can I exchange the waists for seals?
no
If you're at least 1st sergeant(?) with your Grand Company, you can exchange them to the Personnel Officer at your Grand Company HQ.
You can exchange any unwanted non-white gear that way.
I'm sergeant serpent 3rd class
Then rank up
yeah, I'm not gonna be able to make it when I have 2.4k seals and I need more than 6k
Yeah, you'll need to rank up in order to unlock expert deliveries.
Do leveling roulette and FATEs
They'll get you seals pretty quickly.
Especially if you can get the in-need bonus on the roulette.
do I need fantasia to swap from female to male viera?
Yes
What about it?
People go kill A rank hunts one after the other
whats an A rank?
A and S rank hunt targets are rare-ish spawns that reward the hunt currency when killed. People get together when they're all spawned to kill them all and share kill credit.
World bosses
S ranks are even harder and have special requirements to spawn, a ranks respawn evert 24ish hours
oh i see i guess the rewards must be good if people get together to do it
Tomes and hunt currency
each of them drop poetics, endgame tomestones, and materia
It's the fastest way to cap weekly tomestones
Very good way to cap tomes
maintenance for adding ew is tomorrow?
ahhh i see
In 16 hours
ok
During which time I swear to god I'm gonna mute this channel
everyone saying bozja will be the fastest way to lvl anything else you can do?
Dungeons
:/
!faq altlvlguide
idk man i feel like there will be very long queues for dps
Dungeons beast tribes, daily hunting log are decen too
Experience points previously earned from standard dungeon enemies will now be earned from dungeon bosses.
this means that mobs will no longer give xp?
And that's why you go bozja
Which is why dps do bozja
Apparently, weird choice tbh
i dont think i have enough time to unlock it
If you haven't started ivalice, yeah
i have not
Then no, you really don't
It encourages people to stick around until boss kills and helps curb bot based leveling stuff.
I mean I get that but I've also legit never seen it
It's essentially so you don't have to choose between getting all the exp and clearing fast.
On na or eu servers
The bots are not going in with real people. you wouldnt see it
That doesn't make any sense
With this system, clearing fast is even more incentivised

that was their point, kat. in arr dungeons people often argue about doing side rooms to get more exp, but that's not a thing anymore.
kat, people are still in arr.
Y'all.
Is there a way to do single target attacks in gpose without a target?
Sorta, if you have gpose set to repeat last action
Yeah that's the problem
Then no
I can't repeat last action if I can't use it lol
you still need a target to do the skill
I just wish there was a way to do this in gpose itself
Smells like technical limitation
what's company exp boost name? the one from grand company
hang on, it says leveling roulette will only give tomestones of aphorism but those are only usable at lvl 90 no?
Yes
Yes, you will only get it when you do levelling roulette at 90
Levelling roulette only gives tomes if you're 90
Not when under 90
oh right!
The Heat of Battle (as well as II and III)
Like how it only.gives revelation if you're 80 atm
im dumb
i only found this one is it work for killing monster?

earned from gathering
Oh sorry. I thought you meant FC. That one in the picture is specifically for gathering
Combat boost is only from doing squadron afaik
i see i ssee
If you’ve gotten to the lvl 40/50 squadron missions
how do i unlock pixie beast tribes? i did the first quest but it says there are 6 of them
You do 3 a day from the giver in il mheg
You continue the story which you hit the required reputation to rank up
they dont offer much xp compared to when you complete the story?
It’s for leveling Alts
Msq is the best exp in the game
But you only get it once
