gear you get from achievements or seasonal events can go in the armoire
Hey guys quick question in regards to the necromancer title; Do I need to start at floor 1 for each attempt or can I start at floor 51 too?
job gear besides the level 60 gear can be obtained again for free via a couple methods
when will beast tribes for EW release?
thanks! what about quest items, like Scion's Rogue Bandana, and items from coffers like the Dairyumaku Armor of Maiming Coffer?
So what now? Supposedly I could fix sound problems by switchign to a lower Hz rate. (All sound just cut off for some reason, do not wanna try relogging lol).
u must go from 1
Unique gear obtained from quests can be obtained again via calamity salvager
Gear from Coffers, no
ah ok, so i should glamour coffer gear to be safe
You have to buy or craft the coffer gear yourself if you want it again
oh its craftable/purchaseable!
so nothing is really lost
im more worried about not having it later if i want it
If it's just for glamour, npc vendors usually sell normal quality versions
ooh ok great thanks
for the new raids: if i dont get any loot from an encounter, can i do it again until i get something?
so really any "missable" glamours all fit into the armoire, and I can reobtain anything else for glamour purposes
yes
so technically i can only roll on chest (for example) and spam until i get it? and do that for all 4 raids to ensure i get 4 pieces to buy it?
well armors obtained from duties will, ofc, require you to run the duties again. which may or may not be something you'd want to do
mhm
Pretty much, though it can be a pain in the ass to reacquire dungeon gear
why are fates in zadnor sometimes burst down in an instant while some other times it takes time to kill a fate boss even with 72 ppl
should i chuck everything into dresser for now then? idk how quickly ill fill up the 400 slot cap
iirc they are tougher the more people are near it when it spawns. so if a fate spawns when nobody is around it melts
hmm interesting I was wondering why
thats why waiting for a fate to spawn is, as far as i know, not good cuz it gets a lot tankier
at least thats what someone told me, might be BS, but it does make sense because i also never knew why a fate sometimes gets oneshot and sometimes takes forever
it's not
it's sadly true
could be, there was a lot of people near that golemn before it spawned and it was tankier
Which is why a "lively" instance with lots of people is actually slower
Is there a way to switch from summoner to dark mage in Limsa Lominsa?
Because it scales to amount of people but not too how many chug essences
so you end up with like 15 people with a fate scaled to 15
but only 3 are using a damage essence
Need to get to Ul'Dah and pickup thaumaturge
and level it to 30 + do the job quests to become black mage
If only I knew what that meant. Sorry but I'm new to this.
So I should just keep going through the story and eventually I'll be able to?
just keep doing msq until you reach uldah
you will then find a job quest which will unlock thaumaturge which then turns into black mage later
Interesting. Thank you!
Is there stats for Gear pieces from the Normal Raids?
anyone know this>
You can check the gear in Radz or where you start the quests in Lab
There's a trader
Got it

for chocobo coloring, if i fail a recipe he doesnt change color right?
after 8hours or so?
what level does gun breaker start off at
Does the MSQ from 80-90 give enough exp that I don't need to supplement it with duty roulettes? And if it does, does it give too much such that I'd want to keep a second job at the same level as the MSQ to shovel the extra exp into?
60
how do i get to lisabard
anyone know how long it generally takes to lvl up crafting? need it for a relic reborn quest since i cant use the marketboard
considering skipping the quest altogether
the ARR relic quest is a giant pain in the ass on free trial
I'd recommend doing it after upgrading to full game if you were gonna do it at all
but leveling crafters is quick, especially after you unlock ishgard restoration
It's not possible to 0-100% HQ facet gear with full aesthetes lv80, right?
What’s the queue time for Gilgamesh right now?
following a guide will take you like an hour from 20-50
when it comes to relics can i accept for want of a memory on my 90 class and collect memorys on my lvl 70, i wana get the relic weapon for my 70 war but i dunno if i need to wait till its 80 and accept on that
how do i get to lisabard
1-50 crafting would be a huuuuuge timesink on free to play, you would need to collect everything yourself instead of buying the cheap bits
ty ill prob put it off then
ilsabard, continue msq
cooking took me like a entire day 1-90 and i bought 3/4 of the cooking quest materials
through ishgard's firmament you can do 20-80 in as little as 4 hours
yeh if you have lots of gil or a friend
i did
when leveling from 20-50 it's literally almost like getting a level every turn in
but now the next quesr is in ilsabard
ye to 50 wouldnt be too bad
and i cant get there
it isn't that expensive, you'd probably make money if you won a casual attire coffer
Did you not attune
nope
BOI
when will the new housing district in foundation be available? ive never owned a house but the area looks super nice
They literally told you to do that
hard to say really, i leveled my gatherers to 90 so i had loads of diadem mats, the 50-60 stuff has got pretty expensive on my server
i forgot
6.1
can i do that now
got lvl 70 and 80 gear made by a friend for like 250k instead of buying it for 2.4m
So go to sharlyan and talk to the science people again, they should send you back
no need to have a friend make it either
how far away is that? only been playing for 2 months, i dont know the patch cycles yet
probably a minimum or 2 or 3 months I think
aww ok
scrip gear would mean having to manually craft probs, less cp
what? no it doesn't
i really wanna try out summoner but i have been lvling scholar for months now through MSQ and havent touched summoner since lvl 30 when i just got the job stone but that was months ago and now i got a lvl 76 summoner with no clue what or how to play im doing the class quests now but i cant seem to find a updated video going over then skillsa syou lvl up i tend to look at WeskAlber's vidioes as they go over the skills at every lvl in order but he hasnt updated for endwalker and i cant really use that since its completely different now any other vidioes i can look at?
eh i cant say for sure but it felt that way, tho i leveled with gear not without so dont hav efirst hand exp
scrip gear has a set bonus, it's also more than enough for all your crafts up to 90
what guide are you using for this scrip gear, interested to see it
at no point do you need to buy crafting gear unless you are trying to craft level 90 high star stuff
How do the weekly loot drops in normal raids work?
cus all the ones i saw were saying craft gear
just go to any scrip vendor and look lol
custom deliveries unlock at level 60
that's like 3-4k scrips per week for less than 10 mins effort
you'd have a full set of gear in less than 2 weeks
yeh i leveled in a day not 2 weeks
it takes 10 mins to do 1 week of deliveries
you would have had 80% of a full set of gear in under 10 mins
Is this an upgrade?
yes because it has higher magic dmg and int
you can basically play full landsaint/handsaint gear up until lvl 90, then replace with selfcrafted HQ gear
but other stats -200+
it just sounds like there are a ton of awful crafting guides out there
crit -200
sub stats do not make up for lost of magic dmg/main stat
you need way more sub stats to outvalue those
got it
probably lol, alot of them go for speed over price effective, which isnt great for new players
that's not necessarily true either lmao
custom deliveries is a huge source of exp per week
if there's a crafting guide that doesn't mention them, I wouldn't follow it
ty
it mentions them , but most guides are like blast this collectable/leves to level FAST!
1-90 in 5 hours! fast!
unlock customs at 60, do the first weeks' worth, buy some gear, boom you're set until level 70
60 scrip gear isn't really that great or recommended though
the main downside of it is its not universal
where are scrip accesories , can only find main piece gear
it's better than spending gil on the gear though
60 is the weird tier of scrip gear
but you can buy accessories in idyshire with scrips
it normalizes at 70 onward
level 60 is fucky
Can buy either in idyllshire or ishgard
oh I didn't know ishgard had the vendor too
sundry vendors are basically one stop shops for both poetics and scrips
personally id just spend the gil on hq gear again tho if i had to do it again, just enables braindead macro's for max collectability, but only if you actually get a fc member or somthing to craft em for u
buying straight from mb would be nuts
Just became a warrior and forgot that all the action bars get fcked up..is there a way to copy/paste my MRD bars to my WAR?
good ways to level in ShB content? Love RDM, but I wanna start off EW with something new. Also what classes are fun to play in EW?
Reaper is getting spammed a lot but is it any fun
Yes
ooh
/hotbar copy MRD 1 WAR 1
!faq altlvlguide
the number is the hotbar number
helpful thanks you :)
Thanks, that's perfect 🙏
my game just crashed for taking off my bluetooth usb, wtf? is that a known bug or im just unlucky?
you can also make some of ur hud hotbars shared for stuff you dont want changed like job presets . System > Character Configuration > Hotbar Settings > Sharing tab, and then check the box next to the hotbar you wish to share.
is there a macro command to target something by name
I mean, if you have the exact name of the target you could probably write one to do that, sure.
What are you trying to do, exactly?
Find a hunt target
A macro would be pretty useless for that, since by the time you're in effective target range for it to work, you could see it.
do bozja relic memories require you to be the class that accepted the quest to earn them
No
no
so i can grab it on my 90 ninja and earn memories for my 70 warrior relic wep?
As long as you have the quest open, you'll continue to accumulate quest items regardless of class.
scrip gears allow for max collectability with the same macros lol
yeah i forgot the game actually tells you when you get near it
if you are talking about the ishgard macros, then you may also need food for some of them
just found it, so, yeah, macro pointless
If you're trying to earn memories for your WAR relic, you'd have to accept the quest as WAR in the first place, but you could do whatever content as 90 NIN.
But you can't accept the same relic quest step for two different classes at the same time.
basically if you had to spend gil to buy gear for leveling crafters, you probably didn't need to in the end
ah damn, was just hoping i could start earning relic for my warrior before it hit 80
Actually the materials are the same regardless of the relic
Thancred said this when I got to radz-at-han, but the gate guard just says that I can't go in?...
You can. If you're doing the NIN one, you can just keep going once you have what you need for NIN as long as you don't turn the quest in.
Assuming you've already finished the one time steps the recommended method is to have one of every quest saved in your journal
And then just stockpile materials
the aetheryte that you landed near
The ones at the great work or the fishing port
I have a hard time spending my crafter white scrips on something. I got all the gear, a lot of scrolls, all master recipes. Is there anything I should spend them on?
you were literally right next to it
Materia
have you beaten EW?
yes
ok
you can check marketboard for the most expensive ones
idk what it is right now but probably the CP or control one if I had to guess
for gathering its gp, so i assume its cp for crafters
Dumb question of the day:
Are weekly raid gear resets based on calendar weeks or based on the normal weekly reset on tuesdays?
Tuesday
tues
He's talking about the one at the location you arrived in.
What IL is the new normal raid gear at?
580
hey can I specialize in disciples of the land?
no
all of them
when am I supposed to get my pizza emote from the grubhub event?
There's a lot of channels so I'm still trying to map this Discord.
Is there somewhere I can go for "Which stats I should prioritize as a WHM"?
I'm thinking a guide or a pin.
!faq balance
This discord
Thanks! 🙂
what ilvl do the 2 optional dungeons in EW give
same as 90
oh good
just accessories
which one is more fun so i can do that one first
||Smileton imo||
Do you want funky jazz or relive eScape
But hearing escape again was lovely
funky jazz sounds better
Then ||Smileton||
||Smileton|| is my unfavorite. I hate it because ||everyone does the first boss wrong and the second and third bosses have no mechanics.||
Hey questions and help! 🙂 Does anyone know if the snowman mount is returning for the christmas event?
It's on mogstation
😮
previous seasonal event items always go on mogstation the next year
ahhh radddd. Not seeing it yet but just need to dig I suppose lol
We’ll get an announcement
It'll show up when they next cycle in new items to the mogstation. Probably in a couple of weeks.
ah okk. Thanks!! 😄
are there any reqs to doing gc turn ins and how/where do you do weekly deliveries?

Hello, tryna make a macro for my armoury chest and I want to give it that icon, but I haven't been able to find what category it is under. Does anyone know?
What icon?
Do squadron training token things stack like levequest allowances?
the Armoury Chest Icon
tried, didnt work
probably needs a category specified but I can't find which one it is
yeah i'm not sure which category it could be
every google source i've found for that question over the past 8 years, including this year, say it isn't possible
so that seems like a sad confirmation 😦
with mods, i'd wager
Correct, each role is a +1% buff for your party, up to +5%
I can't find the treasure even tho I am standing where the map tells me. What em i doing wrong?
you need to go to the exact location not just be on the same map
You're in the completely wrong map spot
But the circle tells me it's there?
it's very clearly not the same area
In most cases it's usually better to be playing on the jobs you enjoy, anyways.
lol
Oh what. So the little picture is the actual location. Not the big map when i click on it
Ooooh wow. I thought it's just a place holder
You can see a physical representation of this at the bottom of your party window when you're in a party (i'm not, so it's blank in this instance, but it would be under "Party Bonus")
hello! is aphorism tomestones only going to be used for ilvl 570 gear?
yes
6.05 will release a second, weekly capped, tomestone called astronomy
that will be used for higher ilvl gear
gotcha, thanks! so it's best to go ahead and spend aphorisms and slowly replace with better 90 gear over time
yep
no reason to hold onto aphorism since its got no weekly cap
and easily farmable
awesome, thanks for the help!
Hello, does anyone know if I’m able to play final fantasy? I heard it wasn’t up the other day
I’m new
If you didn't create an account before the other day, you can't start playing now.
You literally cannot sign up for a new account currently
If you have an account, but it's on a free trial, you can only log in on low population hours
You also can't buy the game to get off the free trial currently
Ahh I made an account
what do u get from the 90 high-end duties?
I see
suffering from success
is there a best job to bring in heaven on high for lone hero title?
ilvl 580 gear and unique mounts
580 weapons and accessories currently
Did you activate the free trial before this week ish @sly field
If someone started the free trial recently they would at least have weeks of content to keep them busy, assuming they can log in
I had a free trial account from a few months back but I never tried it
Only just trying it now
I’ll download it and see if it works
not sure about HoH specifically but people tend to rate the strong self sustain classes very high, like Warrior, Red Mage, or Paladin
if you're playing EU, you likely won't be able to log in atm, it's the busiest time of day
you can check if you activated the free trial in acount status in mogstation
without having to go through the download
and Black Mage is probably one of the worst soloing classes for HoH
gunbreaker, before 6.0, was basically S+ for soloing
far as i understand it, machnist is also pretty good due to its combination of high personal damage and lack of cast times
6.0 stat squish probably didn't change much in the potd/hoh "meta" standings
thanks! finally more motivated to lvl rdm lol. btw does gnb count?
that said tho, for hoh pretty much every job can do it though certain jobs like blm/ast are kind of meh for it

if you intend to solo
Question, if I do the duty roulette level 50/60/70/80 and I’m currently level 64, will I get placed in a higher dungeon or stick to the 50/60?
yea see above
oh thanks! will do
you can only do duties you have unlocked
and duties you are the appropriate level for
Ohhhh. That makes sense
even if the roulette has more
I’m just trying to get to level 65 for my next summoner quest, lol. Then grind to 70 for reaper
I decided I was going to try it on ps5, there’s a collectors edition on there, is that similar to the complete edition?
^
since you are lv64 do the lv63 dungeon as it gives the most exp
that one is unlocked via
iirc so if you dont have atleast do the lv61 one from MSQ
where can i find the potd version of this one?

No
best lvl 90 dungeon for quick aphorisms?
Thank you
if you must farm then consider hunt trains
how do I do recruit a friend ?
I tried this account on the ps5 client and it doesn’t work, does anyone know if the trial only works for pc?
ok ty, i just want to raid :3
then go raid
currently they have suspended upgrading to the full game
Trial is locked to one device
you don't need aphorism gear to raid
Ah that explains it
go run the ex trials
if you want to raid
get 580 accessories from ex1
that'll push you to 565 pretty easily
problem is i dont have enough for those at either
most PFs only ask for 560 no?
yeah, i dont have 560 yet, but i guess im only a day or two of expert roulette away from it
doable with free gear and the accs that drop from the dungeons
right, ty for the info
I think by the time you unlock both lv 90 dungeons you'll have enough aphorisms to buy one or two pieces of gear
anyone on primal grinding aphorism?
Hey anyone able to help? Everytime I do /cpose it keeps defaulting back to one I don't like?
Not that kind of questions and help channel
It's random, and if it's with weapon drawn there's only one pose you get
But when you /cpose it should stay on the one you end with ? ^^'
@warm snow what would be the better channel?
@warm snow well i dont know about you but i play an mmo to meet people and make new friends, i understand i can easily just spam expert but the game is alienating enough as it is
This is a Q&A channel, not an lfg channel
Like "what's an effective way to use poetics?" not "can anyone help me run this raid"
should i be getting food now for savage raids or waiting till better food releases?
There'll probably be new food, but current best food will probably be good for prog in the meantime as new food will be very expensive
I’ve been getting whatever’s cheaper. It doesn’t affect numbers too much
asking cause right now my bis food is the cod chowder stuff
I just came back after a 4 year break, i joined this discord to "hopefully meet new people and maybe some friends" not be "chastised for being in the wrong group for playing with people"
You'd be surprised
Every bit matters for prog
I'm not chastising you, I'm just saying that you're in the wrong channel, go to #general-discussion if you want to be sociable
ok thank you
We don't social here, we answer questions
I mean if you’re failing dps checks I think there’s something else going on that’s not food related
food can make the difference
It can
what is faster, doing a dungeon synced with full group, or unsynced solo while 10 lvl above ?

Is there anyone else still having audio glitches?
do all gemstone traders in EW sell the same stuff? ultimately trying to figure out best way to convert gemstones into gil
No
Which items sell good in market board from GC materials?
All have unique stuff do more fates to see more stuff
Depends on your server
yea but once you get rank 3
are they the same?
or each zone rank 3 have different stuff?
They still have their separate unique stuff
gotcha thanks
The universal vendors have all the monster materials
any idea about something that sells well on market?
@warm snow is there a way I can find out easily instead of research every item sell price?
to spend my gemstones?
Not really no
Monster materials might still be good money
Not universally no, you'd need to check
Earlier on in the expansion it was lunatender blooms for me
Ok so how do some tanks steal my aggro in Zadnor its so annoying I get it its zadnor, but I pull first and generate quite enough aggro, then comes gunbreaker and gets it all
Bicolor vouchers seem to very valuable tho
appreciate it!
the thing is when I use provoke to get aggro back I cant how so they steal mine then
funny how they can clearly see someone holding aggro on boss yet they gi and still provoke
You don't Need main aggro
so my question is why cant I get aggro back when I provoke the boss, but other tanks can somehow steal my aggro on boss
They're doing more dmg than you
They have medals that increase their dps
More damage = more aggro
From clearing the bozja storyline
Honors for dps, dps actions, dps pots
could be that idk
cant even clear dalriada cause no one is doing it to be able to spend my 30m mettle finally
most ever queued was 6 ppl
i assume that was not so easy and quick?
Werent they supposed to give additional game time today to ppl with active subs?
wait how tf do you do Dal with 2 people
given how many accounts there are, it will take roughly 3-4 days for it to be completed
Halls needs 4 doesn't it
Cause 400% echo is nutty
At least* 4
You ignore the dot
Ah oki
Oh you just outheal the damage
I thought it did a percentage
What is augmented ironworks btw? Does it differ from ironworks? Why does it get used by a range of clases?
you can't get normal ironworks anymore
It's higher ilvl
augmented is higher ilvl
is warrior fun? I only ever leveled and played drk
Augmented Ironworks is what was the best tomestone set in ARR when it was the most recent content, it's made readily available to buy with poetics to help jumpstart you into the next expansion (HW)
most gear at endgame is for a range of classes
My only complaint with Warrior is the cone aoe, otherwise it's fine
Cone aoe just takes some getting used to
So augmented ironworks is just better than ironworks gear?
Yes
Yes
It’s dyeable, has better stats, is obtainable
Warrior is you unga and it bungas
oh nice, Im thinking between pld or warrior
it's ilvl 130, which won't be replaced until like halfway through Heavensward
I may be biased but I enjoy Paladin because class fantasy go brr
Warrior is simple and massive. Pld has to hide behind a shield, but they summon huge ass swords so
i love the lvl 90 pld skill
Yeee
Think its 90
When doing a lvl 50 dungeon do I get the full stats of an item lvl 130?
Confiteor into Blades of Faith/Truth/Valor
or does old content scale it down?
It scales when your level scales
So at the same level no scale eh?
different lvl50 dungeons have different scale numbers
unless the dungeon specifically states it syncs to a certain ilvl, all 50 dungeons sync to 130
for anyone who knows real quick, for masked carnivale, does the "beginner spellcasting" (only use rank 1/2 spells) fail if you cast more than those, or fail if you so much as have those in your active actions?
If you cast a spell above them
Aetherial Mimicry won’t count against you since you cast it before entering the instance
so i did all four circles through the duty finder. am i done now with the raid until reset? or is there anything more to farm for my main job or a higher difficulty from the raid?
if you've earned loot from each circle, you're done for the week
only thing left to farm is the minion from circle four
which is obviously jsut cosmetic
i got this, which i am not sure what to use it for (sorry this is my first expansion from start)
You can exchange them for gear in Radz-at-Han
okay thanks! c:
oh sweet! so i am already done so i can lvl my other jobs :3
Is ACT messed up due to the patch? I had to reinstall it before the outage, just want to make sure I didnt mess it up
Does spell speed do anything to recast timer?
Yes
can I do 6 custom deliveries for ALL my unlocked pnj or is it 6 by pnj ?
6 per NPC, 12 in total.
thanks ! is there any NPC that's notorious for giving more XP or are they all equal ? still haven't unlocked one
They’re all currently equal, unless they have bonus for the week
guess I'll take 2 min to check them then, thx Wynne
how do i know dungeon has a bonus for light farming zodiac relic
You have to find out for yourself
what do you guys spend your poetics on now?
People don’t keep trackers updated anymore
Cryptlurker accessories to turn in for GC seals to turn into dark matter for repairing
hello. any idea when purchasing the game will be available again? literally was about to buy it the other night, and went like "i'll do that tomorrow", and now im stuck as f2p 😦
Hi, is it true that home world transfer is down right now? Is there any news on this? Latest I saw on the launch client was from the 4th.
When servers aren't dying from congestion
that's the answer to both of your questions
Idk about other servers but mine isnt "dying" at all, theres queue during day time, but thats it, nothing special for a release
I feel like we are all suffering for a few big servers
the servers are all still struggling, whether you actually see it or not.
don't expect things to change until we get closer to 6.05 or maybe 6.1
Yes
where can i exchange it
q.q
You need 7 to buy the item needed to buy the upcoming weapon for the new tomes
Did the latest update mess with HUD layouts? all my settings went back to default
600
does anyone know how to turn off "[name] has joined linkshell?", submersible notifications on screen, etc?
Nobody else had the issue?
It's standard
please dont waste both your & my time if you have no idea about the answer to my question. just say "we have no info about that". Im not looking for your opinion
so curenntly we can rreach il580 as cap right ?
Yes
Ahh, I haven’t lived through content drops yet.
it's not opinion, it's fact. this is not an official server and you will not get a different answer.
Thanks thats the answer I was looking for, if there was actual admins or officials who gave infos about that
No, thats not facts, thats ur opinion
no did you save a copy of your char data from your documents
The fact that the servers are stressed is not an opinion
yea they are, but not all of them are "dying"
not recently no
It's hyperbole
and thats kinda normal for an expansion release
Not to this degree
Everything was fine a few days ago, but when i logged in today, everything was back to default
Not to this degree
not to this degree.
as I said not every servers are suffering that much
They are
There are literally several posts in the pins that are regarding server congestions
regardless, what I said was correct and it is not an opinion just because you don't like the answer.
Even as f2p i can play without much problems except at peak hours
yes
so no, not all servers are "suffering that much"
that's how servers are dying
yeah it mightve gotten overwritten v_v. i was asking in case you had a copy you could replace it with to save you time but it sounds like you'll have to do it again im sorry @cinder maple
they are MAX capacity at peak hours
Normally this wouldn't be an issue at this point in the expansion, queues would've settle down to more reasonable levels
they have not
yes it is only your opinion, as you have absolutely no idea when Square Enix will put purchase available again since you have no info.
also um does anyone know the answer to my question v_v
does anyone know how to turn off "[name] has joined linkshell", submersible notifications on screen, etc?
it's killin my cutscenes n i have busy on
No
there's no way to disable on the on screen notifications afaik
Anyone know the queue on Gilgamesh right now?
NO rip ty merry
We know that they are not because of the server congestion, as they have informed us several times
We don't know when, but we know that's the reason
it's not opinion, sorry it's not the answer you were looking for but it's nonetheless true.
Hi there, where can I buy the game ?
You can't
Nowhere
6.1 will bring another influx of people and they may very well likely wait until after that or until they know they can handle it.
yea thats my point, you dont know when, I was just looking for this answer, if we had any idea WHEN, if like any game master gave us hint about this, they could literally open the purchases in 2 days that it wouldnt change anything on my server
anyways, question answered, moving on
srly ?
yeah sales are halted shaq
not needed please just leave it be

Dunno what your deal is but Sen gave you exactly the same answer
oh no :(
no dude, he gave me his opinion, while I was looking for officials informations.
the only correct answer is "we have no info"
Which we don’t have
!mute 194120501210120193 1h
sen doesnt use those pronouns btw
Yeah I was gonna say
as a crafter, at what point should i be concerned about having actual crafting accessories? and at what point should i be concerned about melding materia?
What's going on with pronouns ?
below 50, they're not entirely make or break but they are still very useful since cp is always a valued resource as a crafter
all my crafters are L50-51 atm, except for ALC which is L54
melding materia as a crafter is largely going to be for end game, though if you need a bit of a stat boost and have spare materia to slot you can meld
but easier to get the stat boost via food
Reason: Rule 1
i'd pick up the scrip accesories from idyllshire/ishgard
Can I abandon a dungeon unlock quest after I already unlocked it?
wait, they're available below L53?
since the scrip unlocker quest is L53, i thought it might not be available for me
this serv is a lil bit weird
this is going to save me so much time, thank you
while we're on the subject of crafter gear
also the extreme trails or do I get something cool when i turn them all in
So I used my action " Truth of forests" but i don't see anything on my map. What am I doing wrong?
No nodes are up
between bojza and zandor which is the best for levelling jobs?
there are 45 accessories you can buy from a vendor in ishgard, though for 51-59 you'll have to craft your own or buy them from the marketboard
Literally the same xp
cool
is it intended that the green L50 recipes like artisan's items or blue ARR primal weapons (except shiva/levi) are impossible to even attempt with just the GC artisan gear?
@twilit arch why this guy got muted ?
Scroll up
If you have concerns about moderation action, feel free to open #discord-modmail
I scroll but I see nothing about trashtalk or dis
He got muted cause he was being an asshole and refused to acknowledge the answer to a question because of thr way that it was phrased
Despite being exactly the same as the one I gave him
Just move on
Its ultimately unimportant to the purpose of this channel
kindly move on
or open a #discord-modmail if you really care

I used fantasia, unequiped all the gear, but in the menu I can't re edit my character, it doesn't give me the option. Is that a bug?
if you are seeing "unable to obtain character data" then you need to wait until the servers are able to obtain the data to use your fantasia
i think i heard somewhere if hte char info doesnt load (u see lots of ?????) u cant edit
did you unequip jobstone as well?
oh TIL, someone told me you have to
yeah, just in case I unequiped jobstone too, and everything has "??????"
ye, the servers aren't able to obtain your character data
therefore you can't edit right now
Out of the three caster jobs, which one do you think is the most tolerable when they get scaled back in old dungeons and raids? :)
Or who loses the least amount of essential spells, in other words.
Summoner basically has its full rotation starting at 26
In terms of flow and necessary stuff
It just gets upgrades and small extras as you go
What DoH is best for purple scrips? AKA less amount of bicolor gemstones I guess
Is the trance and bahamut summoning really small extras? But yea. So, I guess BLM is the one affected the most?
RDM
Bahamut basically adds enkindle and wyrmwaves during aether charge
Are you talking about both jobs?
What do those 3 symbols on top of each gear piece mean again?
No I'm talking about RDM
SMN and BLM have been streamlined to feel better at earlier levels
RDM is not a good job until you get Verflare and Verholy
Oh? I seem to hear the most complaints on BLM... Hmm interesting.
blm got fixed. a tiny bit
I see. Alrighty then. It will not be easy picking out a new main job from the looks of things :P
Okay, one last question, please :P Which job is easier to play at end level. BLM or SMN?
Smn became braindead
Does anyone know if there are any ff9 orchestrion rolls and what they are called >-<?
goldsmith's lv90 collectable doesn't require any bicolored at all. strictly botanist and miner items, can also do bsm
They have SO MANY SPELLS to juggle though. It's incredible.
Haha I see. I am still at level 80. I haven't tried SMN in endwalker yet. All I know is the shadowbringer version.
idk about this, RDM feels pretty complete right away at 50
the finishers at 70 are real nice but RDM isn't a bad job before then
when synced to below 30 and you're missing your melee combo pieces, it sucks though
I can only speak pre-endwalker. But yea, RDM for me was a lot more tolerable at level 50 compared to SMN.
Seems like a lot has changed with endwalker though.
SMN was entirely remade
so anything you knew about SMN pre EW is outdated
their early game was updated to actually be decent
Yea, I got that much. I hope they got improved. One thing that made me consider deleting the game and my entire existence was the pet AI. It was really disgusting.
I hope that got improved... please... just please.
SMN feels pretty boring lvl 35ish - I'll update later on
idk what the carbuncle does anymore other than be a catalyst for the other summons
but there's no fuckiness with pet ai anymore at all
Be very cute following you
that and makes a shield somtimes
but in any case endgame summoner has very mixed opinions
Well, the best thing that I have noticed is the removal of that pet special attack. There two charges for a ST spell, and aoe spell. Thank GOD they removed that garbage.
on one hand people like its design, but on the other people don't like that it feels like a ranged physical DPS (and does way less damage as a result)
was world transfer fixed from the maintenance yesterday?
if i take a fantasia will it still be in effect tommorrow. when i log in
hey i have a question aboiut updating
no, world transfers have not be re-enabled
ok thx
I have a theory they are adding beast master class and summoner was too similar so they ruined summoner to make beast master class lol
Ruined?
Hi. Anyone know where the starting quest is for Pandemonium?
Reminds me of something very similar that happened in WoW. Eh, I honestly doubt it though. But who knows.
sharlayan
thank you!
my mom got me endwalker, but im on the free trial, if i redeem this will be on a plan, or will it not work until i buy a realm reborn?
you will not be able to redeem endwalker until you can purchase the starter edition
cant redeem it until you own starter - cannot access the site to put in the code
we can upgrade to endwalker, just cant buy it the starter edition
you physically cannot upgrade to endwalker without buying the starter edition
whether that be individually or through the complete edition
which is both
What should I spend poetics on when I’m already geared up?
!faq poetics
Thank you!
Are hunt trains not a thing on JP? I'm wondering why they haven't put in queues for swapping instances yet
then again, even going into town would be better served with a queue instead of just a "lolno"
Thanks! I just found the GSM recipe. Will look at BSM as well.
How do you affix Materia to gear? Dumb question sorry
did they fix the ability to unlock heavensward ex fights after beating the EW main scenario?
!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.
@glad robin ^
Crafters being leveled helps, iirc
I don't quite know because all mine are 90 anyway
Yeah you need crafting levels to meld stuff yourself
For a glam achievement it says affix 5 to the same piece to unlock it
I have no available crafting classes anyway
you can meld to fill all green slots (i.e. not overmelding) at a Materia Melder NPC for a gil cost
how come materia ix is so inferior to materia viii?
any crafter will do (dont remember min level, think its dependant on materia lvl), otherwise theres npcs that can do the regular materia slot melding or you can ask othehr players to meld for you
it isnt
even numbers, you cant overmeld past first slot
ah, so without overmelding, the viii is better than ix
Because of how melding tiers work for materia
yes
If someone else can do it like an npc I guess yeah
correct
sweet. i have like 300 of those.
but in cases of overmelding, X is equivalent to VIII
overmelding limitations
and IX is equivalent to VII
everything below that will be fine to meld in whatever combination I believe
Is queue still bad? I wasn't sure if it would be worse with people starting holiday leave/schools getting out of session
is it possible to go through dungeons solo and just experience the content?
no
not without leveling first
which requires you to do dungeons synced
But that's only possible with Blue Mage
It's starting to die down a bit, but it will vary from world to world I assume
Can somebody explain what this means in normal English lol
All gear has 5 materia slots, but a fixed number of green slots
you can only overmeld one X or VIII materia
You can overmeld that materia one slot past the green slots
if you have an item with 2 green slots, you can put an X in each of those, and then overmeld one more X - after that, must do IX
Technically using Trust, you can at least run a dungeon with in game npc's.
Are there beast tribes in EW? I've finished the MSQ and haven't really seen any quests that leads to a beast tribe but idk
not yet
So X materia can only be put on green slots?
Those are added in patches
Gotcha
Any materia can be put in green slots, provided the gear item level is over the materia. It's also a guaranteed meld.
Ah, so X can only be put on green slots on the initial piece of equipment, but if you overmeld it you get 1 extra green slot basically
Even then it's only available after SHB and I don't think it's available for everything from the getgo after that
no
Overmelding is limited to crafted gear
^
I'm to dumb for this lmao
that's the spirit
TL;DR: if it's blue gear, don't worry about it
This only applies to crafted gear and only for the optimizers
Blue gear can just be pumped with X materia?
yes
well
I mean
only green slots are guaranteed melds
overmelding has a risk of losing the materia
X materia in green slots has a 100% chance of retrieving/melding it in?
only melding
Meld Yes, retrieve no
I see. What determine the retrieval chances then?
if it's current or not
The tier
Well yes
let's assume an item has 2 green slots in it, these are the chances at each meld for success and what level materia you'd put into it with best case scenario:
[green] 100%, X
[green] 100%, X
[OM1] 17%, X
[OM2] 10%, IX
[OM3] 7%, IX
9 and 10 materia will always have a chance to fail
but if I wanna retrieve X materia, what determines the retrieval percentage
Does the chocobo saddlebag let you put stuff in it for crafting and use it from there?
8s and below are always 100%
if it's just one green slot:
[green] 100%, X
[OM1] 17%, X
[OM2] 10%, IX
[OM3] 7%, IX
[OM4] 5%, IX
they're not asking for om chance
^
oh I misread lol
And I haven't done any melding this expansion yet so I don't recall the numbers
I was looking at something from teamcraft's page I think
That being said you get materia out the wazoo eventually so I wouldn't worry about ret chances a whole bunch
it's a negligible loss at the end of the day
the grade of the materia melded
I wanted to pump my gear full with X materia, but if there's a big chance of losing it idk if it's worth it
But I do the hunt trains daily so whatever I guess lmao
40% retrieve
if you're doing hunts daily, its pretty w/e
Tf you worrying about then lmao
easily get all the X materia you need
I'm literally sitting on 300 of 7 and 8 materia clusters
And they sell for so much
ehhhhh
been seeing them Xs sold for 50K a piece on my server
For the Triple Triad Open tournament, do Platinium Triad Cards only drop in the advanced ruleset, or can they also drop in the Basic?
Same
yes they're valuable but it's because 1) we haven't had more than a few weeks to collect a ton of materia and 2) the easiest way to get materia is through hunt trains with the clusters and a lot of people don't want to go through the effort to do those

especially with the demand boom for Endwalker
yup
i mean, the prices already drop to the ground so eh
Oof... FFXIV didn't save my UI setup from a year ago
felt that, I kinda gave up on pentamelding at this point
what does metallic gold dye usually go for? not specific just a general range, trying to tell if I got a bargain or not
assuming you have access to a market board nearby, you could check sale history on the item I believe
how easy it is to get to 1mil mgsp?
gonna check that too but i've seen stuff fluctuate like crazy so 🤷
at risk of embarrassing myself I got some at 15k a pop a few days ago, felt like a steal
60k per week from fashion report for like 10 minutes of your time, or 66k with jackpot II active from FC buffs.... can also get MGP from getting lines in Wondrous Tails
50k now but that doesnt tell me much
The metallic dyes only drop from retainer quick ventures
So you just have to pray that your retainers bring some back
and Bozja/Zadnor lockboxes
basically supply is determined by RNG and demand is constant
so the price point fluctuates all the time
I've seen pots go up to 500k once
wtf
Only Pure White/Jet Black really go that high
well on that note, I've been entirely ignoring giving care to my retainers so whats the best way to treat those well
Most of the special dyes don’t go above 10k, like the dark and more of the weird metallic colors like blue and purple
Was there ever a way to open all your bags at once in this game?
macro sounds like your friend but I assume no
You can see both your inventory and saddlebag at once when opening the saddlebag
And there’s an option in item settings to see multiple pages of the inventory at once
there's also an option to see all of your backpack pages in one screen but idk if that's what you asked
Kk just trying to redo my entire UI and keybinds. Nothing got saved since I reinstalled FFXIV
Oh that sounds like it, thanks!
oof time to remember what keybinds you had
I actually copied over the specific files that hold your keybind/ HUD info from my old platform to the new one, don't think it saved me time in the end 
Thankfully I have an old screenshot
fancy
What is the armory chest?
I’m dumb and blanking. Can someone explain to me how normal raid drops work again? What is this chart even telling me?
What's the best raiding food?
That's how many of each type of token drops from each raid instance.
Can you end up being autolooted and getting locked out of your token for the week during Normal Raids if you're the last one out of the raid?
So Circle 1 drops 2 head, 1 chest, 1 glove, 1 leg, 1 boot, and 2 accessories.
In theory, yes.
So you only get tokens from normal raids? Not loot to roll on?
Correct.
depends on class
Right, the weird pieces to exchange. Does anyone have a list of how many tokens are needed for exchanges? If not, I’ll just Google it before going in.
4 for pants/chest, 2 for head/gloves/boots, 1 for accessories
Tanks?
coconut cod chowder I think
ty!
i'm pretty sure new food is going to come out with release of savage anyway
If you somehow lose your relic weapons, can they be obtainable again from the npc quest?
when the new foods comes out, would it be hard to make :o?
it will likely require a melded set of crafting gear to make
if previous tiers are any indication
I see! thanksss
When configuring your UI, is there a way to temporarily disable the entire grid/fade to see how things look?
It’s where your gear is
saving the settings and closing out of the HUD editor 
when will ffxiv sales resume?
Will I ever be able to get the reindeer antler items if I missed the events?
we dunno
Yes. They'll be on the mogstation for $$
i was planning to buy it on the 16th cause finals ended and then they hit me with this
i just wanted to play through all the expansions during break :/
Sales will resume once they manage to get the server capacity to handle the massive spike in player interest. They've promised us a roadmap to that by the end of January.
I'm trying to be a market board only glam user but thanks
Well the game will still be there, and summer break is coming up
Also, I dunno if you realize how long the game is, I doubt you'd be able to beat the whole thing in a few weeks
so i'm confused. i bought a subscription for a year but i dont think its started? i can put ppl on my friends list so im subscribed but its ???
u're probably right but i was planning to invest a lot of hours during this break
it only updates at each threshold for rewards
There aren’t full year subs
i meant to say i bought like. more than a month or at least i agreed to sub for a year
Can I sell/discard Job gear and get it back later from the Salvage Dealer? That's what it sounds like, but I wanted to make sure before I ditched anything.
They gave away 14 days. That's the 14 days left thats listed
Your subscription will start when those are up
ohhhh okay thay makes sense
i was so confused because i def paid irl money for a subscription somehow
Depends on the expansion it's from. But mostly yes.
ShB and EW job gear you can just get back from the same vendor you get it from in the first place.
And I think ARR has a weird roundabout way of getting it back.
@open coral Cheers. It's some of the first Monk armor you get in ARR, and I just need to ditch it for space. Why they're not Armoire-able like festive stuff baffles me.
But HW and SB you can definitely get back from the Calamity Salvager.
Not HW
Toss it in your glamor cabinet
Those are from the centurio guys
@vast saffron She canne hold any more captain!
arr, stb is calamity salv
hw is from centurio seals
shb is from granny olt
ew is from trader in sharla
Get rid of your crap ye wee Scottish bastard!
I mean if you rush story you'll go a bit faster but I have 200 hours played and I just started the first expansion, it's long, lol
@vast saffron https://www.youtube.com/shorts/13lQrDVRuws
Scotty tells the Excelsior's turbolift what to go do with itself.
what exactly does death do in this game? do u lose exp or anything
Byt yeah, I do need to purge
Are you in an FC?
Your gear loses some durability
A bit of equipment durability, not much
Being raised by a player gives you a -20 or -25% damage and healing dealt for like 2 minutes
Dying again with the debuff active makes it stronger
Oh yeah, being raised gives -25%, a second time gives -50%
It lasts for 2-3 minutes
This matters a lot
ty friends
If you are, quit out of it and start your own. Then you have an entire item chest to store your stuff in
So if it times out, it starts back at -25% on the next raise
And get someone in that can invite some alts and you can use the alts and all of their retainers as storage
"What do you want more, your friends or your glamour" ?
....... I think I might be a hoarder....
I can't imagine needing other characters to store things, oml
I think most of the important stuff you want to store can’t be traded?
YOU DON'T KNOW! You might NEED that dodo egg!
I still have all of those Shadowbringers coffers for jobs I might take later. Those can be traded. And ALL of that Stormblood quest reward gear is tradeable
What if someone wants a bronze sword. I can make that....unless I dump those 3 stacks of copper I mined. Then where would I be?
Hmmm... you can trade Coffer, impressive
Are the tomestone rings ilvl 570 unique or can i equip 2 of them?
I only have 7 retainers... and they are all full up. So now thanks to 100k Gil and 5 minutes of a random players time, I have effectively doubled my bank space
I think it's unique, but not in-game to check... look at the top of the tooltip box that shows up when hovering over it and it will say
They'll remain unique until 7.0
Ah okay, any ideas where i can get a second good one?
EX1
^
thanks
you can get your weapon from EX2 and your accessories (one ring + all the other accessory slots) from EX1
those will all be ilvl 580
@vast saffron Sorry for late reply, was AFK.
And I'm free trial.
No retainers or FC for me. :__:
i am on the eorzea collection site
and seeing this
trying to find images of the qarn set
am i doing it wrong?
i have no filters on
there is no left side
So how is playtime given out
What materia do i use as rdm?
Mine still shows 58 days remaining
what
where do you mean left side
isnt that
the glamor page
not the gearset page
im stil confused where you are suggesting to type qarn
im looking for
the set of items
that drops in the dungeon
qarn
wouldnt i find that in the gearset tab
that page seems to be under construction
try consolegameswiki or gamerscape
for stats/pics/loot location etc
