[near rover]

You can use this for a guide

on what to do

[south raven]

official launcher seem broken, but thanks

it work now

[open coral]

Can you do something? Can you go on the Mogstation and show us your account status grid? It will look like this.

[south raven]

why does installing client need to do anything with it

not even login to do that

[fresh lodge]

That shouldn't have any impact on it

They're trying to install the launcher, not download the game

[open coral]

I get that.

[fresh lodge]

Just try the quicklauncher

[south raven]

quicklauncher work but official not

[open coral]

So just use the quicklauncher if it works.

[south raven]

guess they just block all new install cuz queue time smt

[open coral]

They didn't block new installs.

[south raven]

[open coral]

If they had, even the quicklauncher wouldn't work.

[patent citrus]

yeah I don't see why either

[solemn jewel]

Did u pick the region ur actually in

[wintry trellis]

Easy explanation. It work when it work it don’t when it don’t. When it don’t use secondary option

[fresh lodge]

What OS are you on?

[south raven]

10

same as 2 year ago unchange :v

not even update window

[fresh lodge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[south raven]

xD but now it doesnt work

[wintry trellis]

It’ll work when it wants 2 ig

[south raven]

[patent citrus]

is it still this one?

!faq download

[zinc orbit]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[south raven]

ye

i used that one

[random solar]

How do I get level 90 miner accessories? Not seeing any at the scrip vendor. My first time at level cap so not sure how to get them.

[south raven]

but quicklauncher seem to work for me

[fresh lodge]

Gotta get the crafted ones

[open coral]

If the quicklauncher works then just use that

[patent citrus]

scrip vendor only available later on for catch up mechanic

[random solar]

Oooh got it. thank you!

[near rover]

how does spiritbond work?

If i take a HQ superior spirit bond pot + Better crowned pie + FC buff does it do anything better than a single HQ superior spirit bond pot?

[past lantern]

is there some type of TLD;R for Tanks. Such as their sustain(self healing) and party utility + gap closers? I see awfully a lot of Paladins. I'm right now kind of thinking to lvl either Dark Knight or Gunbreaker after I get to 90 on my Dancer.

[near rover]

Uh generally its:

Your gap closers are dmg rotation, so dont start with those, just run up to the boss.

For party utility, use reprisal when boss bout to do the AoE party dmg

Also don't slap down all your dmg mitigation at once, spread it out.

[lyric warren]

i died so hard in crystal tower that it DC'ed me with 90002 and now i keep getting the error once it logs me in after queue

[mild mountain]

Crit heal amount can be increased via crit meld?

[fresh lodge]

Yes

[mild mountain]

Dang thats hot

[junior wyvern]

Just joined this discord to check if anyone else is having this issue. I just was tanking and now I'm yeeted out with 90002.

[lyric warren]

ah seems were unlucky then

[junior wyvern]

I'm in now

[lyric warren]

Gratz man

[misty blaze]

is there no Collectable's Appraiser in damn Sharlayan or wtf?

[craggy tinsel]

Radz

[near rover]

its in radz

[misty blaze]

bruh....both Eulmore and Crystarium had one wtf...but thanks

[near rover]

Radz is the eulmore

Isn't the sharlayan one at ||the studium||

[craggy tinsel]

don't think you can trade in there, only spend scrip

[topaz basin]

With reaper throughout the whole fight how many times can i afford to mess up positionally with gibbet and gallow and still be fine dps wise?

[near rover]

yep went to check, you're right

[fast talon]

When you hit lvl 70/80 is it best to just q the highest ilvl dungeon you can or does it really matter?

[faint flare]

You do the 69 and 79 dungeon

You NEVER do level cap dungeons for xp

[craggy tinsel]

I mean you can but it's just not efficient

[fast talon]

o thats weird

very weird, they should fix that

[craggy tinsel]

the level cap dungeons were never meant to give xp anyway when they came out

[faint flare]

Level cap dungeons gave 0 xp originally

[slate arrow]

No that's how it's always been

[faint flare]

They just tacked xp on

They're not meant for levelling

They're for tomes

[fast talon]

I mean they cant give XP in "current expansion" but past content shouldnt punish you for advancing?

[craggy tinsel]

how is that punishing??

[fast talon]

I guess the tomes are nice

[faint flare]

It's preventing from being drastically overlevelled

More than currently

As you do story

[fast talon]

oh yeah msq is borked

the quests give you so much

[past lantern]

Oh sorry.. should have been a bit more specific. Was just checking that if all tanks share same skills in terms of their sustain. Like do all of them have self healing? Was told that Gunbreaker has more tools than other tanks, but personally never played tanks so wouldn't know :p

[craggy tinsel]

short answer: no
long answer: let me finish this dungeon

[fast talon]

well theres no way im doing 6 runs of the lvl 79 instance to go from 79->81

[faint flare]

All have self healing but with varying strength

[fast talon]

Id tear my eyes out 🙂

[faint flare]

DRK is the worst

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you guys know which LV90 Dungeon is the fastest to clear?

[near rover]

DRK got shat on

[faint flare]

With war being best self heal

[fast talon]

Good question, I q all 3 cause they are all fun

[leaden ginkgo]

Main DRK here, yeah dark sucks lol

[tidal yarrow]

so ive been gathering a lot in the diadem, and i have my inventory full of grade 4 skybuilders x.
am I supposed to discard those? they're marked prohibited

[faint flare]

Only defensively

Their dmg is nutty

[near rover]

uh did u get the appraised?

[fast talon]

you're supposed to go back to the firmament and get them appraised then you can sell them to crafters on the market board

[craggy tinsel]

appraise them at the person next to the guy that sends you into Diadem

[fast talon]

or use them yourself

[tidal yarrow]

oh i see

[fast talon]

They are used for lvling crafters

[near rover]

You can sell them on MB after appraising if you don't need them

[leaden ginkgo]

whats a, n and rDPS on fflogs website?

[near rover]

Though the low level ones don't go for much

[faint flare]

!faq fflogsdps

[zinc orbit]

What is the difference between nDPS, rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?

• neutral DPS (nDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received
• RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
• Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
• adjusted DPS (aDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[cobalt pagoda]

is there a way to have the mount camera a little up istead of having to look at my character back?? I know on controller as long as I put it on auto walk I change the camera up and down, but it’s annpying when I’m no on auto walk and I have to see the bright cruise chaser mount truster :/ is there an mod or something to make that camera stay a little up when I fly with my mount?

[little swift]

You can adjust camera height in the settings

[tidal yarrow]

i appraised the stuff with the auto submit feature. but i noticed that in my inventory, some grade 4 skybuilders stuff remain

[near rover]

Ah yeah, needs to be in 5s

[tidal yarrow]

the npc says "you do not posses any applicable resources"

[near rover]

i got some leftover garbo from desynthing fish too

[leaden ginkgo]

Can anyone tell me which mount this is?

[tidal yarrow]

oh so you need atleast 5 to turn in? okay

[craggy tinsel]

you submit in groups of 5 or 10 I think

[fast talon]

I think its all 5?

[craggy tinsel]

probably

[lyric warren]

store mount

[cobalt pagoda]

were more specificaly?

[leaden ginkgo]

Whats the name?

[rugged thicket]

cruise chaser

[leaden ginkgo]

Cheers

Ill put that on the wish list haha

[cobalt pagoda]

oh found it

nop didn’t found it :/

[little swift]

Its under character configuration

Movement maybe was where it at? Can't remember

[cobalt pagoda]

oooo i found it :3

[cobalt pagoda]

yeah that one :3

Thanks :3

off, tho I doesn’t look that great when I’m not mounted tho

T^T

I wander if there is an pluging that can separet the 3rd person camera angle when mounted

because the higher the canera angle it is the more my character will fall behind my hotbars

[proven lantern]

So I heard about the changes to DRK and I'll probably change to another tank when I get back into the game.

So can I ask how PLD, WAR, and, GNB all feel? Weird question, I guess, but I'd like to hear some opinions to try and avoid trying all three when I get back in.

[wintry trellis]

Drk is destroying bosses. Pld and war feel pretty cozy. Gnb has the same moving boss and no mercy problems but it’s still good

[lilac bolt]

So I reached lvl50 botanist and trying to understand timed nodes. Where can I find a list of current actives ?

[wintry trellis]

All the tanks feel good. None of them really feel bad

[proven lantern]

Okay. Maybe I just need to try DRK for myself when I get back in to see if the change is really as drastic as people are making it

Thanks!

[pseudo veldt]

DRK is blue DPS now

[cobalt pagoda]

this is how my camera looks at camera angle 33

[hexed marsh]

while WAR can be emergency healer 😄

[cobalt pagoda]

and this at 61 so that when mounted it won't look like crap, but my character will be below my hotbar UI T^T

[wintry trellis]

Drk is just ogcd go brrr

War is dps, healer and tank

Like I said they’re all good

[hexed marsh]

"I don't as much tank as i make this whole operation possile"

[leaden ginkgo]

Paladin blocks your path

[wintry trellis]

The changes were drastic pre-ew

[hexed marsh]

applies lots of axe to paladin

[near rover]

Apply axe to paladin's neck

[blissful tinsel]

Could someone help me understand where to get everything under source?

[proven lantern]

So I guess once EW came out, then "fixed" whatever DRK players had problems with?

[near rover]

It's an ishgard restoration item reward.

[proven lantern]

Or at least some of them?

[faint flare]

Ew only fixed one issue but left others

[wintry trellis]

No people just overreacted to the changes

[lethal mist]

If it's for screenshots, you can always just hit Scroll lock to remove everything on screen.

[faint flare]

Mainly blood weapon and no flashy or better defences

[near rover]

Fetes are the event/fate that happens once every few days w 12 of them in the diadem.

[faint flare]

Shadowbringer is the strongest capstone skill but that's it

[proven lantern]

Ah, I see

[faint flare]

That's all they got

And delerum being a stack system

[wintry trellis]

I mean if drk isn’t gonna have defenses it better do most dmg. And that’s the case rn

[lilac bolt]

Hey
So I reached lvl50 botanist and trying to understand timed nodes. Where can I find a list of current actives ?

[hexed marsh]

so, i just completed the inspector storyline.. please tell me there is more 😅

[blissful tinsel]

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

[faint flare]

Xenos has some videos up talking about each tank

[wintry trellis]

Xenos has hot takes but yeah he do be right most times

[cobalt pagoda]

it’s annoying to have to do that so I can look at my character :/ tho that might be the only solution but any way if I double the camera angle it does move to much above my character, so when I zoom in my camera will still be to high

[faint flare]

Like DRK sucks defensively but destroys in dps

[near rover]

Skybuilder scrips are from turning in the items under Ishgard restoration

[blissful tinsel]

Ah, I see.

[near rover]

Or just getting stuff appraised as a DoL

[fast talon]

Is there an optimal strat for wondrous tails rerolls? Are you supposed to reroll at 7 until you get 2 lines or something

[formal condor]

there is a cursor configuration to let specific location spell unable to excess its most range ye?how to turn it on

[proven lantern]

Also, and I'll do my best to word this properly, I think I heard that they made "combos" one button now. So instead of it being 1>2>3 on different buttons, it's all on one button. Kind of like how when you're made to play as other characters for a bit. Is that true?

[faint flare]

Only gunbreaker ammo combo

[leaden ginkgo]

Clemency

[faint flare]

Nothing else

[hexed marsh]

cant cast heals when stunned :3

[proven lantern]

Oh, so as DRK, the 3 skills will still be on 3 different buttons and not change. Oh well. Thanks for the answer

[fast talon]

Not really true, all the classes ive played dont have much convenience built in, just your typical 30-ability rotation lmao

[modest igloo]

There’s xivcombo but that’s a mod

[faint flare]

They'll never make your main gcd combo into 1 button

[wintry trellis]

Yes. There will be no pvp/ solo instance hot bars

[faint flare]

That makes stuff so fucking boring

[wintry trellis]

^

[fast talon]

Oh does pvp have it?

[faint flare]

Yes

Pvp has limited and different toolkit

[wintry trellis]

^

[faint flare]

Soon can focus on the fight

[fast talon]

very cool

[faint flare]

Instead of rotation

[cobalt pagoda]

abd make the balance easy....or so they try

[wintry trellis]

Which for most players is a turn away. But it only seems to give players the need to run around like headless chickens

[glad robin]

Why does the adventurer in need keep shifting every 2 mins while I’m trying to queue as a particular role? Does it matter at that point which I decide to use for queue then?

[faint flare]

It locks in when you que

[wintry trellis]

It depends on the needs of those q times at the time of Qing

[faint flare]

Not that the bonus is meaningful

[near rover]

Bonus very meaningful if you're level 81+ tho right?

[faint flare]

Lol no

[near rover]

For alliance raids and leveling

[glad robin]

So if I lock in during that moment it shows it it’ll help that role right?

[faint flare]

The materia makes it slightly better

[near rover]

:x

[faint flare]

But that's much better ways for it

[glad robin]

I’m under 80 for some of the ones I’m using

So I assume that bonus is worth something

[faint flare]

Adventure in need is fucking trash

[near rover]

Hunt trains are a mess right now for me

[faint flare]

Literally 1%

For suffering in satasha

[near rover]

But isnt Adventurer in Need always tank these days

[proven lantern]

One more question that might be hard to answer. With the level 80 bonus exp ring, how long would it take to get a lvl 1 class to 80?

[cobalt pagoda]

jusy queue for the daily roullete

[lilac bolt]

Thanks for the answer !

[cobalt pagoda]

and ignore adventure in need

[glad robin]

Aiight

[lilac bolt]

Is there any point or reward for completing gathering log ?

[near rover]

1 week I heard. Unless you're hardcore gamer.

Hardcore gamer prolly can get it done in 2 days

[fast talon]

Whats the deal with wondrous tails journals? Can you only hold 1 at a time but you can theoretically turn in 2 in a single week?

[wintry trellis]

1 at a time 1 per week

Get new one at a reset

[faint flare]

If you held the previous weeks book

[near rover]

it's oncer per week but u can hold it up to 2 weeks

[fast talon]

So theres a 2 week window cool

[vernal brook]

Probably wrong channel for this but.... Does anyone know how players are making these YouTube videos using FF14 characters. See alot of Emet Selch like playing piano, singing, and dancing. Does SE make the character models available to anyone to use?

[fast talon]

I didnt mess with it much but it seems like "free" rewards for doing stuff I was already doing

[glacial veldt]

Can you story skip through the end of endwalker?

[faint flare]

No

[fast talon]

You can skip cutscenes but you can only buy a boost through shadowbringers

[wintry trellis]

Depends on how much you play rlly. I did blm dungeon spam and it took me about 4ish days with about 3ish hours per day

[fast talon]

1-50 is very fast, you could do it in a day if you nolifed

It slows down later on tho

[wintry trellis]

Once you hit 71 you get two methods that are relatively similar assuming you don’t get optimal dungeon runs. Also assuming you already have bozja unlocked

[proven lantern]

Bozja?

Is that the tower in SB?

[faint flare]

No

[wintry trellis]

No, HoH is the tower

[fast talon]

bozja is endgame lvl 80 zone, helps you boost 71->80

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers relic zone

[proven lantern]

Oh, never interacted with that

[fast talon]

or can you do bozja to 90?

[faint flare]

You can

[wintry trellis]

You can to 90

[jovial tide]

Someone managed to kill me while I was afk at ||anagnorisis|| aetheryte; how is that possible?

[wintry trellis]

Current math supports speed ran dungeons is still better as usual but bozja is there for braindead exp

[proven lantern]

Is there a modern guide for leveling? Like, a YT vid

Oh, nvm.

[faint flare]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/leveling

[wintry trellis]

Something more likely?

[near rover]

The latest one was that reddit guide

[fast talon]

fate?

[proven lantern]

Thanks!

[jovial tide]

I mean is there a defense fate there to begin with?

[fast talon]

no clue

[cobalt pagoda]

hm i guess fates could do it if you were on the level of the fate so you were automaticaly included

[lilac bolt]

Also what is the point of unspoiled nodes ? It's "just" to gather rare-ish ressources ?

[cobalt pagoda]

tho O haven’t reach ew so I have no idea

[cursive ridge]

how many blue crafter tokens do you require per anima weapon?

[fast talon]

they are timed and quite rare, the current tier should be worth a bit once the new gear comes out (speculation)

[near rover]

Collectables. For white/purple scrips & Xp.

[fast talon]

purple scrip scrip!

[neat drift]

I bought an extra retainer, but the retainer master still says that I can only have 2. Do I need to restart the game first?

[lilac bolt]

Ok, thanks !

[tardy tangle]

I feel like I'm at the end of my stick for grinding bard. I'm at level 49 rn, any recommendations?

[lilac bolt]

Is there any point to complete the gathering log ?

[shut panther]

There's probably a delay between adding it to your account and getting it in game

[near rover]

Command mission.

[tardy tangle]

Command Mission?

[near rover]

Resplendent tool. Tied to achievement.

[shut panther]

Aurum Vale

[near rover]

oh wait replied to wrong

[neat drift]

Kinda weird that that happens considering it's an actual $$ purchase, but it is what it is ig..

[near rover]

Gotta relog

[fast talon]

potd, a dungeon, or any roulette

[tardy tangle]

got it

[fresh lodge]

You have to relog

[near rover]

My 4 extra retainers stayed on even tho they expired just coz i didnt log out

[neat drift]

Ah well, no retainer for me today then
Queue will kill me 🤷‍♂️

[lilac bolt]

Oh ? I didn't see any achievements. Nice !

[shut panther]

You also get bonus exp for each first time you gather something

[fluid current]

I'm trying to setup shift modifiers for my number pad but it shift+num1 turns into "End" anyway to fix this?

[neat drift]

Oh, I'll keep that in mind lol 👀

[shut panther]

Sounds like you have NUM Lock off

[wintry trellis]

Seems weird but the delivery path is a secondary priority for the server especially rn under mass stress from logins. But retainers are usually just relog

[cobalt pagoda]

on reaper I should use soul slice two times no? since now it has two charges??

[fluid current]

It's on, the light is glowing

[left snow]

I keep getting fatal DirectX error crashes. has anyone been able to fix this?

[neat drift]

I see, thx mate

[shut panther]

Do other games work fine?

[open coral]

What kind of headset are you using?

[cobalt pagoda]

for me an “fix” was changing from direct x 11 to vulkan

[fast talon]

That's just default functionality of keyboards. You'd need to change your driver software somehow

Probably somewhere in windows or a download

[open coral]

Turn on Num Lock.

[fast talon]

alternatively try ctrl+num1

[open coral]

Or maybe turn it off, I'm not sure which way around it would go.

I guess turn it off.

[fast talon]

it doesnt change anything

[open coral]

Since Num Lock makes the number pad recognize the number inputs instead of secondary inputs.

Shift shouldn't activate the secondary inputs though. That's weird. Unless you have that set up in your computer's settings somewhere.

[fast talon]

specifically shift+numpad is default windows bound to other functions, something I never knew til now

pretty cool

[open coral]

The default for that should be Control or Alt.

Alt, I think.

[glacial veldt]

When, generally, will a boost be available for endwalker?

[open coral]

A boost? Like a level boost to 90? Or a story skip?

[glacial veldt]

Story skip, sorry

[warm snow]

On 2 years for both of those anyways

[open coral]

Next expansion.

[warm snow]

You can only skip to the start of the latest expansion

Final fantasy game first, mmo second

[frozen aspen]

hey, when will Final Fantasy XIV go back on sale?

[open coral]

Short answer: we don't know.

[frozen aspen]

thx

That actually makes it easier. Go into your sound settings and change your output from (Chat) to (Game).

[willow sandal]

for levelling, is it worth doing levelling roulette if the reward was already claimed but it has adventurer-in-need?

[open coral]

Not really unless you want the GC seals.

[willow sandal]

does this xp reward scale?

[open coral]

The in-need xp bonus isn't worth enough to make up the difference if you get a significantly lower level dungeon.

[willow sandal]

seems way too small

got it

[robust crow]

no the xp reward is shit

intentionally shit

[open coral]

It scales, but not to a point where it's ever worth it.

You're better off just spamming your highest level leveling dungeon.

[robust crow]

best thing about in need bonus is getting materia

but that only happens at higher level

[open coral]

No materia for leveling roulettes.

Only GC seals.

[faint flare]

Until 81+

[open coral]

[willow sandal]

yeah that thing saved me a lot of gil

[flat yew]

when you maxed out a custom delivery can you hand in 6 items at the same time or does it also reset after 3 and the npc will request something else?

[faint flare]

6 items

[flat yew]

awesome, thanks!

[pallid basin]

anyone have experience with delvui, is it good?

[tidal yarrow]

how can I get more evaluation while doing my leves as botanist?

[willow sandal]

I think it's farming the higher level material and getting more of it

[tidal yarrow]

oh i see

damn i just got 319/320

well unlucky..

[bronze sinew]

Does anyone know what are these floating blue things?

[faint flare]

Graphic glitch

[bronze sinew]

oh ok

i thought it was like something special cuz i saw it at the daivadipa stage too

[left snow]

thank you I will give it a try

sometimes crashes without headset use though

[open coral]

The Arctis headset issue is a known bug that causes the DX11 crash. Changing that one setting may or may not also fix things when not using the headset.

There are a lot of issues with DX11 errors though. The Arctis headset one is just the easiest to deal with.

[left snow]

gotcha. thank you!

[fluid current]

I have a very old keyboard so idk what software it has.. I just changed all my keybinds so it all works out how I somewhat wanted.

[spring spear]

Hello everyone i wanted to ask something. what is the best materia for the reaper? ı am kinda new to this so i have no idea.

[near rover]

Skill/Cast Speed for Tier -> Crit -> Determination/Direct Hit

[wintry trellis]

:Communio: Stats and Melding Priorities: :Communio:

Prioritize highest Item Level (ilvl) first (some exceptions apply). Higher ilvl gives more Primary Stats (Strength and Vitality for RPR). More Strength is almost always worth more than any other stat (besides Weapon Damage, which you also get more of for higher ilvls, meaning you never will need to chose between more Strength or more Weapon Damage. They come hand-in-hand). Vitality gives you a higher HP pool, which means you will be able to survive more easily.

CRIT > DH=Det pulls ahead of DH=DET > CRIT around ilvl 580+. This means going forward CRIT > DH=DET is the meld priority.

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys quick question, does in game race make a difference

[wintry trellis]

No

[spring spear]

Thank you.

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m thinking of using a bottle of Fantasia right

[near rover]

Yes.

[spring spear]

Thank you.

[near rover]

Lalafells are beings of pure evil.

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m a boring ass human, want to change things

[leaden ginkgo]

I was thinking femroe or the ronso guys

[near rover]

Race changes are for glamour mostly :x

[leaden ginkgo]

So no stat diffference?

[near rover]

Stat difference of 1/2 is negligible

[wintry trellis]

They don’t drastically affect your stats at all. Like 1-4 number variance but that’s not even a full tier iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

Ok sick thanks

you get one fantasia for free

When people say lvl up special jobs together, they mean both of hand & of land, or the two types separately ?

[gritty oracle]

Is expedient "annoying"? I've heard people dislike movement speed boosts because it can make their movement unpredictable.

[robust crow]

idk who the hell's complaining about it

but sch zoomies has been fantastic for handling mechanics with movement

especially when it's communicated over voice

[gritty oracle]

Unless you want to pay a whole lot of money, you'd do well to level at least btn and min before doing crafters.

Tell them to get good. It’s not like you’re being sent rescue speed

It’s literally a slow sprint. If they can’t stop pressing wasd there are more issues at hand. Not the movement speed

Most if not all mechanics allow margins of error

[lilac bolt]

Yeah that's what I thought. I just reached botanist lvl50, will work on miner 50. After that should I turn to of hand, or keep leveling harvesters ?

[robust crow]

i mean really it doesn't matter

you don't have to level btn or min first

ishgard resto makes that whole process easy from 20-80

[wintry trellis]

I lvled one to max and reused my gear for the other. Doesn’t matter how you do it, the process is the same generally

[robust crow]

if you haven't already been camping diadem, you will probably be buying those mats from marketboard anyway

[lilac bolt]

Ok thanks !

[robust crow]

which shouldn't be a big cost, and you'd end up making money if you win a casual attire coffer

[wintry trellis]

^

[cold swan]

Anyone know how to get to Palaka's Stand if you didn't attune to the aetheryte like a dummy?

[wintry trellis]

Casual coffer is weak money now but ig it’s something

[honest anvil]

walk from rad

[cold swan]

Oh, will it let you cross the bridge now?

[lilac bolt]

Ok, I'm not yet at Heavensward but heard a lot about diadem ,didn't know about ishgard restoration though, looks like a good way to xp. Can I ask what is casual attire coffer ?

[honest anvil]

there’s a guard or a person or a sth iirc

[wintry trellis]

It’s the gremlo attire

[lilac bolt]

I reached lvl50 doing leaves

[wintry trellis]

Diadem and ishgard restoration are the same thing kind of…. Diadem is for dol, resto is for doh

[robust crow]

i would strongly recommend not bothering with leves from 20-70

and just do ishgard resto

[wintry trellis]

^

[robust crow]

leves are better in ShB

[wintry trellis]

Power lvl go brrrrr

[robust crow]

casual attire coffer is a coffer that you can win as a reward from ishgard resto

it used to sell for 3m each

nowadays it might only be like 1m

in fact let me check

[wintry trellis]

Not even

[lilac bolt]

Ok I see, well even 1m is way more than I have 😄

[robust crow]

522k on my server, lol

[wintry trellis]

On siren it was like 700k for the jacket and the rest was garbo

[lilac bolt]

Thanks a lot for the answers yall

[robust crow]

use teamcraft's guide to ishgard resto

they updated it for EW

[ripe hound]

How much does it cost to go from 20-70 with Ishgard Resto?

Assuming no gatherer

[robust crow]

very likely not that much

[wintry trellis]

It takes like 1.5mil on siren aether to go 1-80 assuming you have gear for each threshhold

[robust crow]

you will probably make your money back with 1 coffer win

[ripe hound]

Nice

[robust crow]

after 70 leves are good too

[ripe hound]

I got everything to 70 in ShB

[wintry trellis]

Plus dwarves

[robust crow]

20-70 shouldn't be that bad

[ripe hound]

Now I’m trying to get everything to 80 so I can repair lol

[left snow]

is there a way to check which master recipe books I have learned?

[ripe hound]

Oh yeah Dwarves

I should unlock Dwarves

[wintry trellis]

You should

Tank

[robust crow]

and i'd also recommend being smart about gathering the tertiary mats for ishgard crafting

if it's some shit like wool cloth, don't go buying that, just farm it yourself

[ripe hound]

Oh the “not from diadem” mats?

[robust crow]

ye

[wintry trellis]

Ye

[ripe hound]

kk

[robust crow]

or have a retainer gather it if possible

[wintry trellis]

If you have the Gil say f it

[ripe hound]

I do feel like all the diadem mats can’t sell for much

Don’t feel like they are worth manually gathering

[wintry trellis]

But I mean it’s usually overpriced for what the effort is

[robust crow]

the diadem mats themselves should be cheap

the non diadem mats, try to gather yourself

it will take like probably less than 200 of the tertiary mat to go from 20-50

[wintry trellis]

They fluctuate between 50-400 on siren. Server dependent on who’s scuffing your market and when

[ripe hound]

I feel like I don’t like gathering anything that can’t sell for more than 500 a piece

Nice price

[wintry trellis]

Luckily I got my sprout Gil benefits

So I’ve never worried

[ripe hound]

But yeah, if it’s just mass gathering and each piece can’t sell for more than 500... I’m like bro I could be gaming right now

I’m not gonna use time on that shit

[cold swan]

Thank you. The guard is there, but you can run right past him once youre on the right part of the MSQ

[ripe hound]

Time is a valuable resource!

I can pay someone in game like 1 mil to help me get 20 stacks of beet root

I can't pay someone irl 1 million gil to help me do the dishes!

So yeah, my philosophy is whenever you can cut down the time cost in game for something with gil, consider doing so

[leaden ginkgo]

when do you guys think the home transfer world service will be available again?

[ripe hound]

It's very easy to turn time into gil, but much much harder to turn gil into time effeciently

[ripe hound]

hmmm... I would say before 6.1

Around end of Jan?

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm ok

[ripe hound]

This is an uneducated guess tho

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm ok, thanks

Hey how do I get access to the gold saucer

Like is there some quest I have to do for a ticket or can I just buy it somewhere

[hexed marsh]

i think there is a quest in uldah

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you know what it’s called?

[hexed marsh]

let me google it :"D

[leaden ginkgo]

I googled it and got no answers

Like talk to welll dressed man

Who the hell is that

[hexed marsh]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/contentsguide/goldsaucer/

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah thanks

[long lintel]

Anyone knows how I can farm this? There are no nodes in this level range in black shroud. Just the rare level 50 spawns.

[wintry trellis]

Tldr; no one knows. Probably not even SE. we will have to wait for the next live letter for more direct info.

[fast talon]

gonna be a long time 😏

[long lintel]

It's unreasonable

[wintry trellis]

Achievements are supposed to usually involve a grind which could potentially exceed the life cycle of an expansion. Kinda like how you need 1k wins in seal rock for one of the better looking coats in the game

[heavy wadi]

east shroud bramble patch, wind crystals/shards

question: On controller you can LB1 + num up/down to select enemies, and just num up/down to select allies. Is there a way to swap this? (outside of autohotkey or something)

[verbal anchor]

There are 3 boarding for chocobos : black mage barding, barding of light and wild rose barding. Could someone show me all 3 of them cuz I wanna chose one for my 'bo and have no idea what they look like

[solid cedar]

The sound literally doesn't work

It's muted lmao

what is this

[robust crow]

google

[violet meteor]

Why are the eternal dark accessories on the lodestone?

[verbal anchor]

Thanks

[heavy wadi]

because they’re… gear? all gear is on the lodestone. not sure what you’re asking.

the gear itself isn’t particularly a spoiler.

[violet meteor]

I meant "aren't"

They're not there is what I meant

Sorry

[honest anvil]

they are?

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/ecc210a17e8/

for example ^

[final jasper]

what does one do when you get this message frequently?

[violet meteor]

That's really weird, they don't appear when looking at the list of level 90 gear

[signal veldt]

each mark gives 30k exp, if i complete all one star, two star, three star ( 15 x 30k exp) is only 450k exp, what am i missing from the hunts method to level?

[violet meteor]

See no eternal stuff, and they're level 90, ilvl 580 so they should be at the top

[honest anvil]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/?category2=4

why does mine show?

[violet meteor]

Idk

Bugged maybe?

[honest anvil]

does it show when you click on mine?

[violet meteor]

Nope

I can click on the gear page you sent for that specific ring, and that pops up

But your search you sent gives nothing

[honest anvil]

bug report time o/

[violet meteor]

Where can I report this?

[boreal storm]

Capital

[violet meteor]

Tried that

[sick light]

Question, at how many mobs I should switch from single target to AoE on summoner

[violet meteor]

General rule of thumb is 3+ = AOE in general

[honest anvil]

oh now i can’t search them too

[sick light]

Alright!

[violet meteor]

Bruh lol

[honest anvil]

this is sus lol

[violet meteor]

You're telling me

[leaden ginkgo]

as a dps is it worth lvling with the npcs for instant queues? 81 - 90?

[wintry trellis]

In terms of speed lvling no. In terms of just doing it to lvl yes

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thanks

[fringe bone]

is this gonna take long?

[open coral]

Probably about 45 minutes?

[fringe bone]

Goddamn

[open coral]

1167 isn't terrible. I sat for about 75 minutes in a queue that started at 1540-ish last night.

[fringe bone]

Lmao

i wouldnt

[open coral]

I just pulled up Youtube and watched stuff until I got through.

[fringe bone]

i just wanna do main and get out lol

nnot worth it

[open coral]

I mean yeah, it's gonna depend on what you consider worth your time.

I wanted to get in and do my roulettes and stuff, so I sat.

[iron thunder]

I sat 3h hours starting at 5pm on the weekend lol

[fringe bone]

i ussually log in the mornings

and keep playing till reset

So guess il do main twice tomorrow xD

but imma give it 15 min

see what happeneds

its on 900 now

[quiet acorn]

Is there a list of all possible crafts for every daily grand company delivery ? Im noticing people always have high quality versions of the crafted items needed on the market board

[plain python]

when to use Hurajin as Ninja?

[boreal storm]

What appears depends on your level

[faint flare]

When you die/lose huton

It's a recovery tool

[lethal mist]

Hey is it common for ALL custom deliveries to have at least 1 bonus and all of them give the exact same EXP? They're all maxed and I'm only using them for some additional exp now. Would've thought higher level ones like Ehll Tou would give more but no? Any reason to not choose a lower level one and get it done faster?

[robust crow]

prioritize bonus

[tall mountain]

iirc the only one that gives any more baseline is charlemend, but if others have bonus it's far more worth it to do them

[forest sage]

when they add custom delivery NPC to the current expansion, these give more than old ones, but currently it's all the same

[lethal mist]

When I check in the Client menu they all give the exact same bonus exp number. Nobody gives higher.

[tall mountain]

must be this then

charelemend is ShB

[forest sage]

charlemend gave higher in shb cause he was the last added

[tall mountain]

simply go for bonuses then

no reason not to

[fast talon]

For 1000+ queue just open the game and then do something else while you wait

[forest sage]

basically in 6.1 they'll likely add a new custom NPC and that one will give more, than 6.3 or whatever they'll add a new one, then that new one will give more and the 6.1 will give the same as the others

and so on

[fast talon]

another game or yt/internet

[boreal storm]

There’s only 2 clients with bonuses each week

[lethal mist]

Yeah every single one, from Zhloe to Charlemend gives 1680 gil, 201 scrips and 1,07M EXP (when I check with level 80 WVR). It only goes up if I check with a different higher level character, but they all are still the same. Guess I can do lower level ones and do it quicker with Trained Eye then GG

[tall mountain]

indeed

[lethal mist]

Every single one has a bonus in my list, not the same type but at least 1 bonus.

[tall mountain]

think it might just be pure RNG

i have 3 with bonuses

[lethal mist]

Oh, cause last week I also had a similar situation but thought it was just "flat bonus for everyone since EW dropped" thing.

[orchid knot]

Is there a solid guide or recommendation when it comes to melding materia for crafting/gatherer sets? Trying to work on that for the first time and unsure which materia really matter more than others for the slots we have in the current gear.

[boreal storm]

#kupo-bot-spam

[urban grotto]

thanks!

[delicate mirage]

can you change your job after you choose it?

[lilac mason]

yes

you can get every job in the game on one character

[orchid knot]

Once you hit level 10 on your initial job, you can pick up all other jobs and swap as you like

[delicate mirage]

is there a job that you guys recommend?

[lilac mason]

and switch freely between them outside of combat and instanced duties

[craggy wren]

anyone know what settings hide player name/health bar in raid

[boreal storm]

Any

[craggy wren]

i can't find it

[lilac mason]

it really depends on your playstyle

choose whatever you want, and if you don't like it you can always switch to sth else

[orchid knot]

Really down to what you enjoy though from my own experience, as someone who usually likes ranger type characters, I struggled enjoying Archer and enjoyed Lancer/Dragoon WAY more starter job wise.

But no, it's really down to your playstyle preference

[delicate mirage]

the scholar, astrologian and bard looked cool

[orchid knot]

Keep in mind if you see the Marauder with the big 2H axe, it is a tanking job

Scholar is a healer - it starts as the Arcanist job which is a starter job

[delicate mirage]

I have 0 experience with this type of game

[orchid knot]

Bard starts off as Archer, which is also a starter job

[delicate mirage]

so I have no idea what I should choose

[orchid knot]

Astrologian you can't get initially

[delicate mirage]

ah okayy

[orchid knot]

Once you hit level 50/unlock the first xpack, you can then get Astrologian

[wintry chasm]

Yeah you have to reach Heavenward story first. The first expansion

[orchid knot]

Astrologian/Dark Knight/Machinist are all gated by Heavensward access

[delicate mirage]

what's a 2H axe?

[orchid knot]

2 handed axe

[lilac mason]

2-handed axe

[delicate mirage]

ohh okay

[orchid knot]

Usually you think "Oh big axe, DPS!"

But Marauder which becomes Warrior is a tank job

It still does some solid DPS of course and looks great 😄

Just be aware if you do dungeons (which you have to in the story) you will be the tank

[delicate mirage]

wait what

even if I'm an archer???

[orchid knot]

If you picked Marauder

No no

Haha

[delicate mirage]

oh okay okay

[orchid knot]

I was talking about the Marauder

Archer you're DPS 😄

[wintry chasm]

Just block attacks with your arrows dw

[delicate mirage]

??

[orchid knot]

Arcanist is DPS and then turns into either a Healer or DPS again at 30

[robust crow]

what do you enjoy playing in other games?

[delicate mirage]

you can do that ??

[boreal storm]

No

[orchid knot]

No lol

They're just being memey

[lilac mason]

nah lol, just a joke

[delicate mirage]

idk man I play genshin

[robust crow]

who do you main in genshin?

[orchid knot]

Archer has a leap back defensive and can purge a debuff when it turns into Bard later but that's about it

[delicate mirage]

yanfei

[robust crow]

yanfei plays like a caster

[frozen wind]

What can I spend on allagan tomestones of poetics? All my jobs are level 80 and I dont intend to do the relic grinding

[robust crow]

red mage is probably closest to her style

[delicate mirage]

I really like catalyst and bow users

[orchid knot]

Oof early level BLM though

[wintry chasm]

I'm making a joke

[orchid knot]

Red Mage is glorious

But requires level 60

[delicate mirage]

and swords

[boreal storm]

Cryptlurker

[frozen wind]

Ive been sittign on 2k allagon poetics for almost a week now so im not sure what else

[wintry chasm]

50 not 60

[lilac mason]

nah RDM needs 50

[delicate mirage]

but no heavy hitters bc they're slow

[orchid knot]

Sorry

[frozen wind]

wait we can buy cryptlurker gear now

[orchid knot]

My apologies

[robust crow]

red mage is literally a mage that uses swords

[frozen wind]

WITH POETICS??

[wintry chasm]

Also you need to own Stormblood

[lilac mason]

yes

[delicate mirage]

what does that mean?

[frozen wind]

yes to poetics

or yes to red mage

[boreal storm]

It’s no longer current, so poetic gear

[orchid knot]

50 for Red Mage and Samurai

[spiral inlet]

is there coffee biscuit 2.0?

[lilac mason]

poetics, crypt gear is buyable now

[robust crow]

yanfei is a slow character whose damage comes in bursts from her charge attack

[frozen wind]

holy shit thank you

[robust crow]

the closest parallel I can draw is red mage

[orchid knot]

Yeah and Red Mage is amazing but alas, gated by level access 😦

And BLM early on can be....oof

[wintry chasm]

It's not super high level at least

[delicate mirage]

ah but there's no elemental resonance in ff or anything right?

[orchid knot]

So I guess Arcanists into Summoner might be a solid pick

[frozen wind]

wish I knew about this earlier i may have wasted 400 allagon poetics by now

[robust crow]

not at all

[wintry chasm]

Nothing remotely like that

[delicate mirage]

oh lmao

[lilac mason]

nah there's no elemental strengths/weaknesses

[frozen wind]

Arcanist is fun

[orchid knot]

Arcanist to Summoner at 30 then when you hit 50, get Red Mage and never look back

[frozen wind]

you get a scholar to level your summoner with it 😉

[orchid knot]

And with the Summoner rework, it's pretty awesome even if simpler

[delicate mirage]

:0000 fr???? that's cool

[orchid knot]

Yeah Red Mage is incredible

You're a duelist mage

[lilac mason]

yeah, RDM uses a rapier

[orchid knot]

Cast a bunch of spells then you rush in and slash with your rapier

[delicate mirage]

ah yea..

[wintry chasm]

And has drip

[lilac mason]

and a mana nugget

[orchid knot]

And do all these flip out attacks, etc.

[frozen wind]

Red mage is also a pretty good caster for a newbie

you pretty much always have a good kit regardless of level scaling

[orchid knot]

And you're also very helpful to the party thanks to insta-rezzing

[frozen wind]

unlike summoner

[orchid knot]

And a defensive now

[delicate mirage]

:´)

[robust crow]

red mage is a ranged mage that builds resources, then enters melee range for their melee combo + burst

[frozen wind]

you dont get instant rezzing until level 68 ish iirc

so if someone yells at you to raise them call them stupid

[robust crow]

so you dance in and out of melee range a lot as RDM

[orchid knot]

Yeah I mean most of your "big stuff" is always 60+

[frozen wind]

because only summoner can early raise

[wintry chasm]

Fyi

[delicate mirage]

very important

[frozen wind]

but red mage probally has the most comftorable leveling experience

[orchid knot]

👌

RDM so gud

[frozen wind]

most of their main stuff is early level

while summoner and alot of other jobs is locked 70+ to play fluidly

[orchid knot]

We really do need them to overhaul a lot of the early levelling jobs

Early ARC/BLM is still miserable

[patent citrus]

ff1 chibi version :3

[orchid knot]

No job should be w/o an AoE skill after 15

[robust crow]

summoner actually plays quite well early on with the remake

[orchid knot]

eyes DRG and NIN with 40+ on AoE

[robust crow]

if red mage is the goal, summoner wouldn't be a bad starting class

[frozen wind]

I thought that too

[orchid knot]

Yep!

That's my suggestion

[frozen wind]

then I hit 80 and realized pre 80 summoner is janky af

[delicate mirage]

is rdm red mage?

[lilac mason]

yeah

[orchid knot]

Arcanist -> Summoner -> Hit 50 - get Red Mage

[robust crow]

yes, all classes have a 3 letter acronym

[frozen wind]

once you hit 80 or 90 on summoner you dont ever want to play older summoner

[robust crow]

SMN is summoner
RDM is red mage
BLM is black mage
WHM is white mage

etc.

[orchid knot]

Basically the job you start with ends at level 30 Moiki

As it evolves into a specialized job with more abilities from there on

[errant mesa]

Has anyone here collected the triple triad cards from Endwalker yet

[delicate mirage]

Can I choose what it evolves into?

[boreal storm]

No

[orchid knot]

No

[wintry chasm]

You know, at risk of making this more complicated you should stop calling them jobs

[delicate mirage]

or does it depend on my choices along the way?

ah

[robust crow]

there's not an "evolution" mechanic

you can play every job

there are no restrictions

[lilac mason]

all classes (with one exception) have a single job they evolve into

[robust crow]

you can be all 4 of RDM WHM BLM SMN at once

[orchid knot]

Disagree. We should get new players to understand the lingo.

[boreal storm]

Class > specific job

[orchid knot]

Job is not complicated and people can think of it as a class but it's NOT a class in this game

[brittle mountain]

Did mog station's items deliveries slow down with Endwalker's release? I can't remember having to wait that long for a purchase 😭

[wintry chasm]

Calling it a job is the wrong term

It's a class

[orchid knot]

It is a job and people can pick up all of them.

[delicate mirage]

so what starter job do I choose for the red mage?

[boreal storm]

Any

[orchid knot]

Up to you - you can swap freely after level 10 and have them all 🙂

[delicate mirage]

wat

[robust crow]

red mage doesn't quite have a starter, you just unlock it after any other class hits level 50

[wintry chasm]

Expansion jobs don't have a requirement class @delicate mirage

[lilac mason]

none, pick any and you'll get the red mage unlock quest at 50

[patent citrus]

check out this https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Job

[robust crow]

the prevalent suggestion until then is to play arcanist (summoner)

or really whatever you want

[patent citrus]

for the requirements of the job you want

[boreal storm]

Expansion jobs can be obtained by anyone

[delicate mirage]

I'm getting very confused o.o

[lilac mason]

for example, archer becomes bard, conjurer becomes white mage

only arcanist has 2 evolutions: scholar and summoner

[delicate mirage]

someone said they don't evolve

and then some say they do

[lilac mason]

but you can switch between them on the fly

[robust crow]

they do not "evolve"

[patent citrus]

check out the link

they evolve yeah, some of them from class -> job

[boreal storm]

Dude just play the game, and you will learn

It’s a lot simpler

[delicate mirage]

for rdm?

[wintry chasm]

All the starting classes like archer and lancer and stuff go into specific jobs like bard and dragoon but expansion jobs don't have a starting class and so can be unlocked as it is if that makes sense

[orchid knot]

No matter what you pick Moiki, you can change to ANY other job you want on the same character. But each job has it's own progression to what it becomes.

For example, if you picked Arcanist, that always will turn into Scholar/Summoner. But after level 10 on Arcanist, you can go and get Archer, Lancer, Marauder, etc and have them ALL to level/work on/try out as you like too.

[patent citrus]

but expansion job starts as a job lv 30/50/60/70

[digital lake]

Whats the likely minimum ilevel for the new savage raids when it releases?

[patent citrus]

so they don't have a class

[robust crow]

if you want to call the "promotion" at level 30 an evolution, then sure I guess

[wintry chasm]

Absolutely this though @delicate mirage

It's a lot simpler when you at least look at the game

[orchid knot]

You are never limited by your initial choice is the takeaway

[robust crow]

580 would be recommended since that's the crafted gear + normal raid ilvl

[faint flare]

Should be 570 for the first two floors then 580 for the last two

[delicate mirage]

I'm waiting for it to download

50GB

T-T

I'm at 15gb rn

[digital lake]

I see, thank you both^^

[orchid knot]

This is a single character and while this is probably a lot of ??? to you - just know that your single character can be everything in the game class/job wise. The ONLY initial limitation is that when you pick your first choice, you have to play it till level 10 before you can start picking up the other ones to play/try out.

[robust crow]

summoner is unique

because summoner is the only branching job

[orchid knot]

Yeah - and they both level at the same time even if you're not playing the other haha

[robust crow]

leveling summoner means you are also leveling scholar, which is a healer

[delicate mirage]

what are the numbers?

[orchid knot]

Which is cool since it gives you both a DPS and Healing job

The numbers are the level they're at

[delicate mirage]

but yes that makes it clearer ty

[delicate mirage]

2 jobs?

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[lilac mason]

yeah, summoner and scholar share levels

[orchid knot]

Yeah, Arcanist at level 30 will turn into 2 jobs for you.

[wintry chasm]

^

[orchid knot]

And if you play Summoner, whenever you level it, Scholar also gets the levels

[wintry chasm]

It's the only class that does this

[sharp sphinx]

Is anyone else constantly getting disconnected?

[orchid knot]

Or when you level on Scholar, Summoner also gets the level - it's a unique interaction but it's nice cause you get 2 for the price of 1 😄

[delicate mirage]

oh okay then I'm choosing that :))

[orchid knot]

Ahem, also - I realized what you were saying earlier. At how the very INITIAL stuff is referred to as classes before they become jobs. Apologies for the misunderstanding there.

[wintry chasm]

Yes

Because you were calling both jobs

[delicate mirage]

ah what's the difference?

[orchid knot]

Right - I frankly wish they'd simplify that and it's all jobs, but yannow - end of the day it's a minor thing.

[delicate mirage]

between classes ad jobs?

[orchid knot]

Nothing you need to stress over really

[lilac mason]

classes become jobs

Classes are just the "starting" choices - they all turn into jobs, which are basically advanced classes

[wintry chasm]

Like how the class "Archer" becomes the job "bard"

[delicate mirage]

ohh

[orchid knot]

If you're used to games that make you pick classes, jobs are just a twist on that

The starter class turns into the job

[delicate mirage]

kk

[marsh canyon]

can I post what my current gear is for advice on how to get to a better ilvl? I'm at 551

[robust crow]

we don't need to see your current gear

the answer is the same

get 560 accessories from level 90 dungeons, get 560 free job gear

[boreal storm]

Moonward, EX gear, pandemonium

[marsh canyon]

I have the artifact gear, I guess I just need to do l90 dungeons

accessories are the pinch point for me

[robust crow]

aphorisms to buy moonward gear, enter EX to get 580 gear and normal panda to get more 580 gear

[marsh canyon]

where is the moonward gear sold

[robust crow]

radz

[marsh canyon]

aite

I'm trying to get my ilvl up to go to panda is why

[robust crow]

unlock expert roulette

[wintry trellis]

Job gear / dungeon accessories into extreme accessories and tome into raid gear and new tome gear

[ebon rose]

Is there really no way to purchase the game right now? I was planning to buy it a few weeks ago and now that I've gotten payed I've noticed it's been taken off all stores

[robust crow]

you will upgrade accessories while doing so

[delicate mirage]

thank you @orchid knot @lilac mason @wintry chasm @robust crow !!!

[lilac mason]

yeah, they took it off the shelves

the congestion is that bad

[orchid knot]

You bet! Ask away if you need more help

[robust crow]

if you don't already own the starter ed. or complete ed. you're shit out of luck

[wintry chasm]

Np, if you need anything else you can @ or DM me or something

[delicate mirage]

yea I'll probably be asking a bunch more questions in the next couple hours when the game is downloaded lol

[delicate mirage]

ty

[orchid knot]

I feel ya. I STILL am asking a ton of questions

[wintry trellis]

This is the way

[ebon rose]

Even stuff like cdkeys is out of stock

[verbal anchor]

What stats are more important for a paladin to become a godlike paladin?

[robust crow]

of course they're "out of stock"

it's not a stock issue

sqex has fully disabled being able to buy the game

[wintry chasm]

Just pray it resolves soon sorry

[robust crow]

check balance

more than likely crit/det/dh anyway

[verbal anchor]

Dh?

[robust crow]

direct hit

[verbal anchor]

So dex and vit needs to be balanced and I should focus on crit determination and direct hit

[wintry chasm]

Dex?

[verbal anchor]

How is that even possible with the items I get at lvl 44

[wintry chasm]

You want 0 dex

[verbal anchor]

Huh 0 dex really

[orchid knot]

Actually since it's active now and there's some great peeps here, how are you folks doing your crafter/gatherer materia atm? I feel like I wanna just cram in more GP/CP but would love some suggestions.

[robust crow]

early gear pre-level 50 is full of random shit

don't worry about gear at all

[wintry chasm]

^

Kinda

[robust crow]

the game hand holds your gear progression

[boreal storm]

Paladins use strength

[robust crow]

just look at item level

[wintry chasm]

So long as it's tank gear and it's higher ilvl just take it

[robust crow]

item level > whatever substats the gear has

[orchid knot]

The recommended gear button is super helpful

[robust crow]

has str? check
higher ilvl? check

[verbal anchor]

Oke thanks

[robust crow]

whatever the fuck the other stats are don't matter

[orchid knot]

As it will help find any gear you've got you didn't know and let you equip it too

[wintry chasm]

At level 50+ gear gets more specified and there is only one type of gear tanks can wear

[verbal anchor]

Soon be able to do Aurum vale that has to garantie good gear right?

[orchid knot]

May not drop for your specific job but gear will drop per boss and from chests.

[patent citrus]

yeah, they are pretty good, but you'll want the left side gear from your job quest

so just use that as a stepping stone

[orchid knot]

Very few dungeons have no actual loot (think there's only actual dungeon w/o ANY loot and it gives a lot of poetics instead)

[patent citrus]

just need + greed everything, then use "Recommended gear button", then save the gearset

[orchid knot]

Worth noting, don't feel bad greeding for other class/job gear either - if people don't need it, you can build up extra sets for your other jobs

[patent citrus]

finish all your job quest, then don't have to worry about gear anymore till 90

[orchid knot]

This - saving your gearsets is very helpful

[wintry chasm]

3

[orchid knot]

Well, I guess if we're counting MSQs?

[verbal anchor]

My road to paladinhood becoming the best I can possibly be

[wintry chasm]

||Castrum, Prae, ARF|| Crack

[patent citrus]

yeah, very important for a tank to keep updating your gear

cause you are the one who get punch in the face

[orchid knot]

Yeah, you were counting MSQs

I was just thinking of the last one but yep, fair to include those

[lilac mason]

iirc by the time you unlock aurum vale you'll do the lvl 45 job quest which gives almost a full ilvl 50 set

[wintry chasm]

This is true

[boreal storm]

4/5 of a set

[wintry chasm]

You'll be missing weapon, accessories, and chest piece

[boreal storm]

ARR is weird

[orchid knot]

Feels good getting the AF gear too first time

Like damn I look good

...if a bit clownish before I have it all

[wintry chasm]

The level 50 job quest gives full set ilvl 90

[verbal anchor]

@wintry chasm @lilac mason cool thanks

[true jolt]

WHM is the worst offender lel

[orchid knot]

WHM - before I got the robe, I was a stripper.

Those booty shorts WHM gets early on lmao

[ruby tundra]

Where do i get South seas Talisman from?

[safe crater]

a tried and true experience for all new players

along with getting their first subligar

[orchid knot]

Ahh yes the subligar

[fervent coral]

WHM be healing in them shorts smfh

[orchid knot]

And the toad leather chestpiece that completely doesn't match

Trash bag bulky chestpiece. Check out my glutes leggings.

[frozen wind]

what itl gear does paendomeium drop

[faint flare]

580

[frozen wind]

holy shit

doing that asap then

[woven pollen]

Whats the command to reduce summoner pet size again?

[faint flare]

It's weekly locked

[patent citrus]

/petsize small

[robust crow]

/petsize small

[frozen wind]

/petsize big *

[faint flare]

/petsize all small

[robust crow]

pretty sure it's acutally "large" and not "big"

[woven pollen]

Ty

[orchid knot]

I found a great visual guide with commands listed on the sub - gonna post it here (hope it shrinks it enough)

For the pet sizing

[wispy orbit]

Over a 2 minute rotation, which job spends more time with a cast bar, SMN or SAM

[faint flare]

Smn

Cause it's actually a caster

[ebon blade]

anyone knows if u can play the game rn if u bought from a reseller?

[tardy epoch]

any tips for how i can do better as a dragoon? idk what kind of damage i shuld be aiming for

[spice imp]

im bard. do i make the switch?

[faint flare]

No

Higher ilvl = better

[patent citrus]

shouldn't worry about it, it's just a dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

why my friend gets 90% xp boost from dungeons while im getting 76%

[patent citrus]

spam aoe, do your rotation

[faint flare]

Left has more dex so it's better

[spice imp]

okay in it goes for more serpent seals

[patent citrus]

you don't even have all your full kit yet

[patent citrus]

what dungeon level? what's your gear, food, rested exp

many reason

[leaden ginkgo]

83 none gear gives more xp

[ebon blade]

like g2a and such?

[true jolt]

Does your frend have FC exp buff (heat of battle?). Also do they eat food?

[leaden ginkgo]

we share the same food + fc buffs

[faint flare]

You can't buy the gamr legally

G2a is a key reseller and will likely fuck you

[pure copper]

is it normal for someone new to the GC squadrons to be struggling to fill out the level 20-35 routine missions even if my squadron is 20-28?

[faint flare]

By charge backing the stolen card used to get the code you buy and instantly ban your account

[ebon blade]

its a 50/50 but it worked out many times for me n my friends, but did ppl pbuying ff get in trouble?

[faint flare]

Yes and it's funny everytime

They use stolen cards

If Se finds out or they charge back the card you're immediately banned

If the key they give you even works

[ebon blade]

ahh rip

thanks for the headsup

[faint flare]

Don't ever use G2a and promote theft

[pure copper]

i remember seeing a post once where a game dev would rather have u pirate a game than use g2a and the like

[frozen wind]

dragoon leveling experience and their kit sucks so far so dont be too hard on yourself

If anything more that red mage is more red flag worth of doing almost the same amount of damage as the warrior...

[south raven]

does these affect anything? planned to be black mage in future.

• any newbie guide i can follow

[frozen wind]

no

[faint flare]

It's MANDATORY to do

[pure copper]

what do u mean by affect?

[frozen wind]

you can be any job you want

you can just pick it later

[faint flare]

You NEED to do those for black mage

And just the REST OF YOUR SKILLS

Your job quests are extremely important

Highest priority

[frozen wind]

I think he means if hes able to pick any other jobs if he does choose this

either that or i misread his question

[faint flare]

He wants black mage

[south raven]

what is job quest how do i know
