That's a random drop tho right?
Where can i buy Gatherer exp boost til lv80? (Revised survival manual)
guaranteed drop but you roll on it
How hard would it be for 4 90s you think
https://i.imgur.com/bL6WSZ6.png what does this mean ?
I look on wiki but it's not in the npc
available either from your calamity salvager/beast tribe
it is sold at some shop, but requires you to have done something else first to get it to appear
and that is the price it costs at that shop
ty
How does RPR's 80 gear look?
it's the same as the 70
Lvl 79 msq
Thanks.
you get it from gerolt same as other 80 AF gear afaik
Is the Lean emote Unobtainable as of now?
the wall lean emote? you can buy it off the AH or grind out scrips in the firmament to buy it
Awesome, ty!
Where would it be located in the AH?
!item Ballroom Etiquette - The Winsome Wallflower
It's called Ballroom Etiquette - The Winsome Wallflower
does the minions have less drop rate in trust parties? already ran the last EW dungeon 30 times with trust and haven't seen the minion drop
No
so I am just having terrible RNG T_T
rng is rng you can see it drop 1 after another or 100 runs and never see it
how do I obtain a dresser for my private chambers
you cant
I use my GC barrack usually
alongside my squadron
you'll see a glamour dresser and armoire there in your rax
I'm trying to pickup this quest: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Lady_of_Blades
I have "Picking Up the Trail" completed as per quest log, I'm in Bozja in front of Bajsaljen but he doesn't have a quest for me. i have previously abandoned the quest, did that bug it maybe?
what's your Bozjan rank?
12
there shouldn't a problem
also how far are you in the msq? for some you need to be done with 5.3
well there looks to be a problem lol
endwalker finished
i previously had it and abandoned it. could that have somehow bugged it to not come back?
ok so I was told that all of the armor I've been hoarding should either be put in the dresser if im gonna use it for glam or to be traded for seals at my GC
but what do I do with all the grey gear that cant be traded
sell it?
Desynth if you have crafters
okidoke
Is it possible for the companion to ever actually tank anything? I’ve got like 7 skills in the tank tree and I don’t think he’s ever actually tanked anything, might pepper those skills into dps
Companion skills use the old aggro management system
Aka: completely and utterly moot
Does killing mobs in the area increase the chances for a fate to spawn?
Fates req for relic books of ARR
Did they change companion exp gain? He seems to be leveling very quickly with all these fates
Or is there a way to track their spawn time
No
you just need to kill more fates till the one you want popped
there's a limit on how many fates can be spawned in a map
what kind of item goes into the armory? is there any pattern ?
Gear goes into the armory
very helpful
All your gear
You would need to manually put them in the normal inventory
Like equippable stuff
most gear cannot be put into the armory
Hey does anyone here play monk? I’ve hit level 60 but haven’t unlocked elixir field, and In the level 60 job quest elixir field isn’t one the of the rewards
Not armoury
Am I missing something
Armoire
elixir fields is one of the combination of beast chakra
so you unlock beast chakra, use 3 opo opo then you can use elixir field
The armoire is for event/achievement/AF1 gear
what is AF1
some sort of like Ninja's Mudra, but with weaponskill
Ah thanks
Lv50 job gear
uh ok, what is it called that lol
ArtiFact
ah ok
It’s a FF11 thing that just transitioned over
event gear, gear that can be purchased by calamity salvager mostly
afaik, the one that you can put into armoire
is there a way to repair armor while its in my inventory instead of individually putting all of it on
Yes
Right click > repair
Change the section in the repair menu
Doesn't need to be equipped to repair
not a high enough level to do that :(
then independent mender
okay!
how do i get the eseences into the two boxes at the bottom? clicking them removes it
it's not going in, is that cause im queued for a CE?
Just right click
you can't put essence there
how do you use eseence
double click it
.
it's a permanent buff, gone till you exit the instance
those holster are for lost action + banner
cool thx guys, it's up now
Or swaps jobs
Or use a different essence
oh yeah swap jobs get ri o it
oh damn, i used both so the second overwrites the first i guess

yeah i thought they were like lost actions
more like fun
You're already immortal outside of oneshots
Just don’t get hit bro
I don’t like downtime so I take the Cheeto puff instead
guys is more hard tea or ucob ?
Tea by far
oh
People usually rank them by uwu > Ucob > tea
so i guess my next ultimate is gonna be ucob
Haha twisters go brrrrrr

I don’t recall us getting the table yet?
unless I missed it
I’ve been able to find my daily one just going through and getting mats in my first hour usually
is poetics gear good enough to last for 10 levels (until the next set of poetics gear becomes available) ?
Usually it’s midway through the expac
it can get a bit spooky for tanks and healers in the 6+ level
But I’ve used it all the way through
But by then the msq gave you gear that surpasses the poetics
30% maybe? it's common enough you usually get it before you even do the first 6 nodes, but once in a while it takes a bit longer, pretty much never more than 2mins though
you don't have to actually gather anything, just open node, check for map, if no map close and go to next one until you get the map
would i need to wait a while if im looking for a specific kind?
say peisteskin?
sup, where can I find the hunt discord?
Is there an updated Aether Current map guide anywhere?
thanks
Hey you know the anima weapon quest with adashir
Can I do that with all my jobs or just one
can't with expansion job stormblood onwards
I’m on heavansward, post hw anyway
yeah, you can get every weapon available
just can't take 2 same quest at the same time
Oh so the quests are in different locations
yeah
Cool thanks
So in Bozja there's ppl from all my DC. Is it possible to queue with someone else in a party from another server and get in Bozja? Or just enter individually and hope to get in same instance?
@delicate field1 guy goes to Gangos while the party is assembled
he talks to get into Bozja
everyone gets in
any idea where odin is in louisoix?
odin is always in north shroud
Is it possible to enter Firmament the same way? Cause I tried on another server and it keeps saying it's full, but it wasn't
saw him i in south shroud thrice
guna do my first ex ||hydaelyn|| any food reccomendations for a tank
oh so he can't spawn anywhere else in shroud?
coconut cow chowder 
im new to ff14 so never done any raids/ex
oh nvm you are right, yeah as long as you are in shroud
it will spawn, just need to check the weather
any vitality food, I use ||Elpis Deipnon||
cow
the chad just crams a whole cow in it
all food is vit food
might go with the coconut cod chowder , since i got botany and fishing 90
Hi, is there a website I can look up FC's on my server and apply to?
Anyway yes you'd probably be going with Coconut Cod Chowder as a tank
!faq communityfinder
source: am tank
and ten det is a bit uh...
It's a wild choice for sure
over det/crit Coconut Cod Chowder
The correct option
speaking of the superior food, is there any way to reliably farm a specific fish while spearfishing?
or is it all luck?
are the euw queue times still bad?
when do you think they gonna fix it and add the free trial back?
i just unlocked the idyllshire white scrips exchange. so seeing as by my count it'll take a whopping 7800 scrips to get the i200 gear for each crafter, what would be a good way to farm scrips?
"Fixing" here doesn't mean what you think it means lol
When Covid eases up, or when cryptominers ease up, or when global labor shortages ease up, or when like nine other things outside of their control fix themselves.
Would argue it would be better to just keep leveling/doing quests to get gear shared across the gatherers rather than farm for scrip
Do I have to do wondrous tails with the job I want to level?
You can do them with any job
you only have to hand it in with that job
sorry, crafters* not gatherers
you can do it with whatever
hand it in on the job you want
okie thank uuuu
does the 84 DNC trait stack with the 76trait to make the proced stuff give 15 esprit, or is it only 10 total? usually upgraded traits show the full value only and they don't stack but since the advanced one affects only certain skills just wondering
so it's not really worth it to get those i200 scrip gear?
because i'm feeling the crafting difficulty ramping up significantly as i approach stb level ranges
you get 5 for your own stuff
10 for party members
84 raises your own stuff to 10
right that's what I thought was just curious if for some reason it stacked to 15 instead
I think
the gear you get from leveling the jobs might be enough, and you could just craft yourself some tools or buy gear from a vendor with gil
oh well better than nothing
I'm not 84
That's a lot of scrip to farm for gear that lasts you only a few levels, hence why I'm suggesting against it
It might be that procs end up giving you 10, while base gives you 5
wouldn't be asking if I could just hit a mob once to find out, guess I'll figure out once I hit 84 though
You might have better luck getting that answer from #archived-ranged-lounge, honestly.
I am trying to remember which setting made it so i can use skills and actions without having to face a mob ?
There's no such setting
You always face the mob when you use a spell or weaponskill
It would break gaze mechs if that was a thing
hi, will when sales on ff14 is back?
whats these icons for on the maraketboard
ok let me rephrase that :
Where the retainer is from
Where the retainer is located
like the city?
how do you see these city's icons outside of the MB UI?
And ishgard
Specifically the city the retainer was hired from.
Your teleport list
Wrong, you can dispatch a retainer from anywhere to any city
so the icon changes if you use the retainer bell from another city? or does it change when you send it on a venture? how does it work
[Homer VC]: Explain how
Talk to the dispatch npc in whatever city
Go to the retainer vocate in the appropriate city
You can pull retainers to the city there
I moved most of mine to sharlayan since it has 0% tax atm, but that'll even out soon
If it hasn't already
I cba to check
I think the 0% tax changes on the 1st
what's the point of dispatching a retainer to a different city?
@regal pawn That's the one .
Taxes
Different tax rates
ty
Flavour text/rp
The expansion cities have lower taxes than Ul'dah, Limsa, and Gridania, and one city will have 0% tax rate (which changes every few weeks)
gotcha. thx all
Taxes are also different on every server
Theyre there to try oncentivise people to spread out their retainers
Look at all those Tax havens :p
what is it based on?
Amount of retainers assigned to a city
For all I know it's a 1.0 remnant cuz that was actually relevant back then
can't say i know why, don't think there's any difference besides the taxes for retainer location anymore is there?
Abd it was fucking garbage
it's a weird mechanic that feels kinda useless to be honest. could as well put a flat tax rate in the entire game and make away with the entire thing
i think in the past you got increased taxes if you bought from a city you weren't in
I'll just put them in the icon i like best lol

What ways are there to get Aetheryte Tickets besides allied seals from ARR hunts?
Centurio Hunts, two sets from HW and Stormblood for like, ~300 seals a week
Huh, don't remember seeing them available from the Centurio merchants. Weird.
In terms of EW content and which is less popular overall or not used as much as the other, is MCH better or BRD?
Yes™️
We got a patch coming up in a week for 6.05 (savage, jan 4th) that will most likely tweak potencies
And we'll have actual BiS available so we know how the jobs perform at their best
Ah okay, what about like general content so far then? Which class has more variety but also is not used by everyone?
Or at least seen less often
play whichever you like, i see basically every job in content ¯_(ツ)_/¯
BRD has a proc-based rotation
MCH is ol' reliable "build gauge, spend gauge, rinse repeat wait for cooldowns"
Generally the difference between jobs in a role is like...10% at most.
If you're bothered to get your BLU leveled up and its spell book moderately filled, you can easily clear 600 seals or so a week from the masked carnivale
!faq ewbalance
We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:
-
The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.
-
Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)
-
The current sample size of recorded runs and quality of data is not sufficient to eliminate variance in player skill, equipment, party composition, killtime and limited encounter design.
-
While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter design and party makeup. Some have yet to be discovered. These are all things that influence job balance, and can change with Savage even if current potencies remain.
-
Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more in harm than good.
Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.
Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.
@glad robin
and not for everyone, people often says it gives them carpal tunnel
ye i tried machinist up to about level 50 it unironically started hurting my hand
New brd is also really good tho, feels great ngl
I never cared for the mch burst personally
Yeah I loved using guns and stuff in MMOs so I figured I’d level and enjoy MCH but it’s less used which helps. However, there’s more glam variety for me in bard which is a thing I enjoy
Calculated bis is probably still a ways away considering the reworked det and stats squish
I guess with bard tho there’s a lot of more pressing buttons
both mch and brd use the same gear
if you like guns,yeah then MCH
up to you tbh
Does anyone have crafting guides for the new changes?
Maybe I’ll just level both haha
Enjoy what you enjoy
ur life man
friend got all 6 horse mounts for kirin, but theres no wandering minstrel at mor dhana 21, 8, they have them all collected, is there some other requirement?
Aren't there 7
Have they got the correct ones?
Nightmare is not one of the required
Titan, garuda, ifrit, leviathan, shiva, ramuh
6 for kirin
nightmare is an extra
they got nightmare too, but yea they have Aithon, Xanthos, Gullfaxi, Enbarr, Markab, and Boreas
it's not a blue quest, yeah
Not 
oh so the coordinates seem...wrong then
He's always there, even if you don't have quests from him available.
maybe you checked the roof 😹
wiki co-ordinates are a rough estimate
not the one inside the bar
And console games wiki is just kinda crap

consolegames wiki shows him at 21, 8
Did I stutter?
rounded down from .7 as well 
No they're not
Despite the quest being at 21.8, 8.8
^
I mean honestly once you get in the bar it's kind of hard to miss seeing the NPC because he's sitting right there
Even if he's not exactly on the coordinates.
Got the right name? Check that guy out.
is there other than chocobo calculator, perhaps something newer to help me with getting a right color for my chocobo?? I follow the for white and it turned honey yellow...
Black and white are particularly hard to get.
It helps pick the highest chance for it
so i can feed like 2 fruits and have a chance for my color?
You have to feed it the right fruits in quantity to have a chance.
Two fruits is unlikely to trigger the color change.
It's usually like, 10 or 15
no you feed all at once
in order
then pray for rng
if you don't get the colour you get, repeat
to expensive sport that is
Chocobo color changing is a long and expensive process.
yup i tried that
Can you buy items of the market board from another of your own characters?
ah yeh don't forget to change the base colour when you repeat the process
cause it's no longer the default colour
and keep the order it tells you
Don't suppose anyone knows if it's possible to assign a macro to a hotbar from within a macro? I can assign actions to a hotbar using the /hotbar action "action name" [#1] [#2] command but I'm wondering if there is an equivalent for macros?
nope, you'd have to have a pre-made hotbar with the macros on it
and then copy that hotbar to the one you want

I cannot find the Master Weaver III recipes. I know it's script exchange, but I've been to 3 major cities and I cannot find it. I'm level 79
have you unlocked the idyllshire house of splendors?
so in 6.01 the housing in foundation will become available?
no
No
6.1, and it should
6.1
we're on 6.01 right now
oh, so next is 6.05?
yes
which is january 4th
when is 6.1 hitting then?
likely sometime march-april
ah shit, ah well. ty though

At level 90 unsynch does solo dog farming become easy?
not really
Damn ok thank you
you might not need a full party just to make it fast, but probably not solo
maybe easy in the sense that if it drops you're guaranteed to win the roll, but solo kill vids are like 10+ min long
how do i get an unhidden leather map?
do i have to be a certain level to access eureka
i just tried to get in and it said req not met
70
isn't that PotD
for the level range you can be inside it lol
i swear to god they said eureka
you need lv 70 to access eureka
yeah no makes sense
its not a leveling zone
elemental ranks go to 60 iirc
that may be what you've been told then ^ the Elemental Ranks going 1-60
it was in the context of leveling characters
w.e doesnt matter anymore either way
is potd really the most efficient way?
when i was using it a bit before it felt incredibly slow
so what do i do before level 15?
spammings floors 51-60 is what people do if leveling but- yes
dont i need 15 for dungeons?
hunting logs, fates, etc
Hunting logs
ah ok
!faq altlvlguide
Btw
ooo ty
I got a boarskin map tday is there no way to get a peisteskin one before reset?
it's not tied to reset but yes it's one map per 18hours
the timer is specific to when you loot the map
you can see it in the Timers window(Ctrl U default iirc?)
oh right
are the drop rates equal in all locations? I need a peisteskin map but there's like 4 others
whats iirc?stand for
if i recall correctly
ty
is there a zone in uldah thats good for lvl 10-13 fates?
i think going towards vesper bay is decent?
drop rates are equal afaik yeah, but you can only see maps if they're off cooldown, and maps only spawn on certain level nodes for the specific types
What crafter makes crafting jewelery currently? for lvl 90
CRP
ok ty
how do you get to this place? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Core

yes

Is there way to get the fat chocobo mount without the arr collectors edition
@mystic tapiryup
Yes
Digital upgrade service on mogstation
Ah
then no
there's a parade chocobo
from commendations
which is just fat choco with a crown
Where do I get it
If you had the game on pc, you would have to rebuy for playstation
be a healer, i think they get the most
Check mogstation
What level does Reaper start at, again?
70
oof
Is Samurai's Hagakure a trap?
My what
I know what it is
But what is the significance of it? Isn't the point to use midare?
the SAM rotation is somewhat weird and at certain SkS(which are optimal), you will have filler GCDs on parts of your rotation
The point is to use all your big stuff in a specific window where it's all buffed
with 2 GCDs you'd do Yukikaze then consume with Hagakure, with 3 filler GCDs you do a 123 combo then consume
That means a midare has to move out and make space for a Namikiri
Where is 70 poetics vendor again?
hagakure is used to align your skill cds
rhaglr's/kugane
You still use it
Each minute past the first contains a 28/29/30-GCD loop, depending on your GCD. Our base rotation and burst totals 26 GCDs. In the opener and every even minute(2/4/6/etc) we use Ogi Namikiri and Kaeshi: Namikiri, which fill two additional spots to bring us to 28. Every odd minute(1/3/5/etc), these skills are on cooldown. → Because of this, we will alternate how many GCDs of filler we need to use for the rotation. Odd minutes where Ogi Namikiri is on cooldown will require 2/3/4, while even minutes where we have it will require 0/1/2.
Samurai's rotation isn't a perfect 60s loop
Great
Is it worth buying poetic gear for reaper at level 70? Looks like 15 ilevel difference
Hagakure allows it to be a perfect 60s loop
Yes
yes. cos its stronger than the starting gear
Make sure you're buying Cryptlurker
And not one of the other sets
But this rotation assumes you have raidwide buffs, yes?
thats 80
You mean Scaeven
It assumes you even play the job
you want things to line up cleanly
You said to fit the rotation in a certain window
So your rotation isn't messy
it's also useful for casual dungeon play when you're running between packs and can't do Tenka Gokken cause stuff is moving
Like throwing a namikiri when you're half way to charging a midare
so you just Hagakure excess stuff you get from doing the spinny aoes
until you the pull is done
The rotations are built that way
And you should stick to them
What I'm getting at is if it's predicated on self buffs or outside buffs
Would that be the correct format for this macro to attack my target's target ? Goal here is to be able to DPS even when targeting allies as a healer.
/micon "Dosis III"
/merror off
/ac "Dosis III" <tt>
the optimal rotation always assume raid buffs
Just switch manually
I see
@lunar quail
Keep in mind that macros are intentionally slow and will cut into your dps
Noteably slow
do NOT macro your GCDs
balance rotations are made so that if everyone is doing them then all raid buffs will line up
I would do that if the targeting system with tab wasn't so ass
Wouldn't it suck to macro oGCDs too because then you risk not being able to double-weave?
You on controller?
F1-F8
Click on party frame
Bind party scrolling to nearby buttons
Make sure you're using cone instead of ignore depth
kinda yeah
If you're using Dosis, you have 1 target
Which means tab target will always pick that 1 target
Even cone sucks, sadly :(
meaning your macro is useless
if you just want to press buttons then you don't have to do the optimal rotation, in which case hagakure isn't "necessary", but that's not really what you asked originally
Click dosis
mid cast swap to your buddy
Throw a heal
Tab
Back to dosis
Tab targeting in this game sucks really bad, and I don't know why. Half the time I tab to the wrong target but in WoW I would always tab to exactly the target I wanted. Don't know how
Whats the single target rotation for lvl 90 blm because the one bot recommends doesnt proc paradox after b3 b4 and thunder
!faq blm rotation
Right, I was just under the impression it was a trap skill if the goal was to always midare. Still leveling it up so I suppose it still is
dont know if your character also needs to be facing your target to tab to them but thats how it is on controller
Quick question, are treasure map dungeons usually locked away behind story progress or could someone who got to 90 but isnt through endwalker join a run? (If they also meet the ilevel requirement and have the zone unlocked)?
I recently discovered holding L2 or R2 and pressing R1/L1 also cycles targets really nicely
They couldn't attune for teleports
for 90 you should check the balance discord, that said not sure how it would not proc paradox since the only req is being in Ice III(which B3 does) then gaining 3 hearts(which B4 does) then switching to Fire(which F3 does)
Is there a dyeable version of the 70 samurai robes
yes from eureka
the AF? eureka anemos lets you get dyable versions
Big sad
it's the first part and is fairly easy to get
the kupo bot rotation does blizzard blizzard thunder then paradox tho
I have a good deal of crystals, just curious
How's the glamour options for samurai
Beyond the 70
Is there a good range or is it rather limited
it shares gear with monk so theres a lot
what's listed in the primer for BLM is just your overall rotation. If you're starting from fresh you do not get the first paradox
Very cool, cheers
it assumes you've done your opener and are now in your just general rotation, so you'd be coming from AF beforehand and would have that paradox
||did the WOL seriously just explain 5 expansion worth of lore in 1 cutscene?||(idk if it's spoiler but i'll mark it anyway)
yes
Probably
tyen this is wrong guide?
||it took them so long to explain, their tea went cold||
as explained the first paradox won't happen on your opener
it will once you loop back to that point, it's a rotation not an opener
Ohhh I see well let me try again
if you keep going the rotation then loop, you'll get paradox in icephase then
|| i would assume they would drink it while he is explaining those dummies||
if you're just starting from fresh and not doing a regular opener, just skip the first listed paradox your first time around
and you'll have it every other time
Ok I figured it out I guess time to test it
There aren't region locks on PC accounts right? I'm moving to europe next year & I'm worried I might have issues with my account I've made in NA using SEs launcher
Anything I need to know?
There's region locks on your SE account, mainly affects payment method and which region you have to buy keys from
Getting the squadron emotes does not require unique dungeons, right? Which is the fastest (or least painful) one?
Any low level one, assuming your squadron is over leveled
Squadron sync works .... Weird.
Hey so I just got a class to 81 and noticed my leveling/alli raid roulettes give cracked clusters...are those for tradein in shadowbringers? still in post SB
Endwalker
ah so just hold these i guess then
level X is the highest materia level right? so would it be worth spamming for them rn or nah?
i keep wiping at endwalker dungeons as sch, the last pull before bosses always gets me, anyone has any tips? ;-;
don't.... die? that might be of help
don't be one of those people that thinks they're funny by making a comment like that
Are you running with trust party or with people?
alternatively, you get cracked clusters from running a few roulettes on a max level or from killing A ranks, those can be spent on materia
On that note, why has VIII materia higher stats than IX? does it scale?
think of materia as having a low tier and a high tier with each pair released
Read what 8 says in the description
Hi, if I made a free trial account earlier this year, can I still download the game?
high tier at the most recent levels will be equivalent in terms of melding restrictions
i.e. higher-tier materia can only fill the green slots + one (usually first) overmeld, after that it must be lower tier
I don't see a general crafting channel, so I'll ask here - I'm confused about exp from custom deliveries... in the list of people (from the duty timers window), I have two at max hearts, and those two list exp as part of the rewards for deliveries, but they aren't the same amount of exp. Is there a pattern to this or is each one just different?
you should be able to i think
theyv elocked downloading the trial launcher i think
Ah OK, ty
are the collectibles the same level?
I thought they only restricted making the accounts, not downloading
for max ranks, there is a weekly random bonus on some of them
I'm not sure, how do I check? The two I have at max hearts are Zhloe and M'naago.
some of the custom delivery NPCs will have one or more bonus, and the bonus gives more xp and scrips
in your gathering log whats the level of the item youre turning in? ive noticed for regular collectibles if hte level gap is too high, u get less xp
it'll say BONUS in yellow in the corner of the category that has a bonus so should be easy to notice
imagine the same would apply for custom deliveries
previous expansion stuff gives crap xp, so if you're say 75, turning in anything from Heavensward or Stormblood will give crap
oh is that how that works? oh

Oh, yes! Zhloe has the bonus, which explains why her exp is higher. I was confused because I would think that M'naago would be higher since she's in Rhalgr's Reach which is higher level than Idyllshire. That explains it though, thank you 🙂
yeah bonus is chosen randomly every week
the more you have at max rank the more bonus you can get on the stuff you want(so 2x crafting or 2x gathering basically)
What can I do while I grind to 90 to best learn samurai?
training dummies exist for a reason
SAM is kinda straightforward, just keep Higanbana up, Kaiten all your Iaijutsus(at lower level this can't be done cause you generate shit for ressources), don't let stuff cap, press cooldowns when they come up
smack the shit out of one until you understand your abilities and how they flow together
as you get to EW levels, you'll want to learn how to pool ressources for 2mins windows
for endgame optimization
That's why my question included the "as I level" part.
for dungeons just press shit as it lights up
Thanks mate, will do that, cheers
I mean if you're leveling it, I'd assume you learn as you play, yes?
The rotation changes at 90
worry about that when you're 90 then
kinda, but not really, you just get a new skill every 2mins(well 2 skills since it repeats)
is there a keybind to advance story?
I want to press a key instead of clicking my mouse
you can press spacebar to have it auto-advance
you have to bind confirm in the menu to something
skipping story 😦
THANK YOU
Keybinds > System > Confirm
Now I can workout while reading and then press the keybind once I'm done
Err.. Where can I see the help guide for specific jobs? Like I want to re-read how red mage gauge works.
it's also useful to spam leve turn ins, select NPCs in crowded areas and so on
Ooo thank you.
Hm, I thought so anyway
open up ur skills menu its the ? at the bottom
Ooo ye, was checking one by one on active help, didn't see. 😄
Thanks for that, saw it now.
where can I buy pixie plums?
I have a question Im levelling my first job dancer, im starting stormblood and now I want a white mage starting for level 1 is there any fast way to level up or should I continue the main scenario first?
you just have to type the name of the itme in google and you'll find this kind of answer on the first(or 2nd) result
Does Sam's meditate have a use?
hunting log will help a bit, spamming dungeons is pretty good, using your roulettes is nice, spamming fates if you can find some on level will be helpful, using palace of the dead helps a lot
downtime
Does it work if the boss is unattackable?
yeah
So ew role quests ... is there anypoint doing them other then for unlocking dye on the 89 lvl gear?
Xp
well they're only positionals if you're... 62+ I think?
actually maybe they changed that
52
but anyway they're both positionals so yeah True North for that
But I don't need true north if I'm behind the enemy right? It is kasha and gekko
otherwise you lose potency
is it intentional that aetherpool armor is upgraded slower than weapon
Kasha is flank
!trait kenki mastery
If you wanted to buy a plot off someone. How would you possibly find that said person?
Party finder
Talk about tedious
fairly certain it hasn't changed the fact that sam gets positionals at 52
They're positionals from the start
I'm confused about the raids and such. I've been trying to figure out how to do an Alliance Raid with my gf, but I don't know how to join one whatsoever and my gf doesn't know how to join one either, can anyone help/explain to me how she and I can join one please? ;-;
Together?
Mhm.
Create a party together
Then queue up for alliance raids
Either the duty or the roulette
And that's all?
Right click her name and select invite to party
yeah the leader of the party queues for the whole party
Yes, as long as you both meet the min reqs you can do any duty you two want
the only thing is you can't queue with classes that don't respect the rules for alliance raids
namely, you can't queue with 2 tanks
for 2ppl that's the only restriction
you can't queue 3healers either, or 6DPS
Oh, that makes sense.
but as long as you're not 2 tanks it'll just match you with randoms like normal
Ah ok, thank you.
Idk if the data center things could also be part of it since when she and I created our characters, the main USA servers weren't allowing creations of new characters or something like that. So we made our characters in the Japan server in Masamune, so idk if that could also be affecting the raid thing.
Again, fairly new to the game sooo. ;-;
That'll affect lag...
But you can just swap over once it opens back up
Because of how full servers tend to be, making new characters is a bit difficult during peak hours
you'd wanna watch the server status page to see how full they are, as having a lot of players online will restrict new characters from being made
Ah ok, thank you so much. o:
Nope, RNG is RNG. You're just getting more armor than weapon.
other way round
How does Fantasia work? I just log in and redo the character creation? Name included?
Sick of Viera not having helmets lol
but 71-47 is too much rng for even chances
noted. Still applies though. 🙂
not name
Oh no lol. My character is Bunbun Bun T.T LMAO
well, name change exists
when you're on the game and drink the fantasia, you'll want to log back out with nothing equipped (except main hand slot, since you can't not have that); from there you'd right click the character name on the character select screen and choose to use your fantasia there - once it's been redeemed on a character, the ability to use it doesn't go away until it's actually used
Everyone say no hats on buns til they realize they don’t wear half the hats anyways
||what are the discal tomestiones used for? those in the pandaemonium exchange||
Tomestone weapon
raid weapon, locked to week 7 at earliest
You turn in 7 blades and get the capped stone weapon
not really correct to call it a raid weapon
you can get one from savage
where can i trade them in? is it not in the game yet
i see, ty
You need 7 blades first and the new capped tomes which aren’t here yet
But it’ll be in the same area as current vendors
Floor 2 or 3 drops them iirc?
From savage
the actual tome not the blade

Does anyone have an invite link to a official discord or smth for Chaos Delubrum Savage Runs? I would love to get Cerberus :x
Ty vinyl
how can I managed my inventory other than the chocobo saddlebag if I'm on free trial
Usually a pf is open for specific runs. I haven’t seen any in aether in 5ever. But I’d see if you can find your DCs raid server. I googled aethers and I found it.
I tried to find one but somehow the invite links are all expired sadly.
Hey guys is there a way to mute the novice network chat during dungeons?
): uhhhh
Try asking in shout chat or NN if there’s a raid discord for your dc
I don't think I've EVER used the novice network ever
hey there! the yellow ones are quests right?
oh, ty 😄
If I use an attack with position bonus do I need to be in position for the whole animation of the attack or just when I press the button?
Ah ok thanks!
where can I get fat cat?
Are these equal in pvp games?
Okay so I'm stuck in the free trial seeing how there is no way to buy the game right now 😕. Is there any way to contact specific people in game or speak to people you meet?
It’s a general guideline so I’d assume so seeing as how pvp is apart of the game
/say, party chat
Mogstation
Minion - Market Board or random drop from specific ventures
Mount - Mogstation
killing ppl from other teams in frontline/pvp with knockbacks isn't against the rules or they would not give us these skills in pvp same with grouping up to kill 1 or you would not be able to kill some jobs if you tried it 1v1
When it says other players it means team mates
Thanks
Deals water damage to all enemies in a straight line before you with a potency of 200 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.

is it possible to reach Idyllshire witha 2 person mount if i have not unlocked it and the other person has?
do I need to relevel my retainer when I swap from samurai to warrior?
Doh *
like from the start?
Yes they can
Yep, gotta reset
damn
yes, just request meld
The first one is part of PvP to begin with and the other two aren't possible.
Does retainer class even matter? Can't you just make them all one class that is your main?
I swapped so
There are four types. Combat, Miner, Botanist, and Fisher.
😂
are 'shared' hotbars basically "hotbars from the class with a name Shared"? as in, the non-shared hotbars of that number still exist on all other classes, but are hidden from display?
All combat jobs are the same as far as retainers go. Same loot tables and everything.
Yes™️
cool
The hotbars still exist
But are replaced by shared hotbars
Can I repair my friends gear (or atleast the gear that would match my job type for her armor)
how big is the game(in GB)?
that means i can stick them in a place only visible by macros
nope, unfortunately not
on the off off off off off chance i might want the class versions of jobs someday
ahhhhh I'm putting so much time into crafting, my friend doesn't have nearly as much time as me. Wish i could share this bonus lol
with all expansions
"with all expansions" is irrelevant. The client file size is identical regardless, just the expansion determines what you have access to.
probs less but you can’t get either rn
Probably not that big a difference
gonna have to remove some games if i wanna try it out when it works again
Same. The file size is identical regardless. Your account status just means what you have access to.
Free trial is probably around 40-50 gigs
Cause it doesn't download the maps for expansions
Only the gear, mounts etc. you might see due to a player with those expansions existing near you
Because it’s mostly just the expansion areas you’re missing
And like the voice lines and stuff

So wait, once the free trial expires, will i have to buy smt in order to continue playing?
Free trial doesn't expire
You have all of base game + 1st expansion to play forever
you just have some limitations

ah, in google it says i got 30 days
That's the free time for buying
can fishing be done in the diadem ?
after which you're required to pay a subscription
yes
there's water if you go anti-clockwise
oh ok, that is nice
if you have i think skyfishing you can just do it wherever
Yes
!trait sky fishing
LOL
Sky fishing is pog in diadem
that is so realistic man
Have you not heard of flying fish?
yeah man just saw one the other day while walking outside

Oof

Shout out to aether fishing
that too

WoL really likes fish okay
Fishers are determined to clap them fish
i hate eating fish
its like i was punished for doing something wrong
same for beans etc like eating raw grass
yikes
Your tongue is whack
Beans don't taste anything like grass but okay.
no off-topic in the questions channel please
is there a macro icon to better represent the 3 DPS roles? currently resorting to using these but i wonder if somebody has a better idea
Doesn't have everything
but it's a start
So question. In the NieR raid, if I don’t cast my lot for anything except the 9S minion, do I have more of a chance to get it?
i'm pretty sure most of those are outdated and you cant use removed skills as macro icons
Yeah
It’s all a random generation. You can roll high on a lot of stuff. Just depends on your rng
And rng hasn’t been my friend in the past. But thanks! Good to know
Heya, so I'm outlevelling the MSQ on both 2 classes, PLD and LNC. I might get a third up just to handquests in with and dump some exp in to, is there anything that would complement them particularly well? WHM maybe for a healer spec if needed? I've been away for a long time and I've forgotten a lot.
hello, i'm looking for a website that could be used to draw strategies on and whatnot for raid fights
You will almost always out lvl msq. Classes are preference
err, not sure how to explain it
like an interactive map maybe where i can draw, place role icons, etc
im p sure one existed
sick, thank you
Some people legit use PowerPoint but there—— that one
Is it possible to buy back the job gear you get in coffers at lvl 60, 70, etc. if I decide to sell it now?
Running out of inventory space
very likely but that's how they taste to me
how do i get to the first quest objective in the quest cutting to the cheese (post-endwalker) if I can't fly?
Don't you get like 400 spots to store stuff for glamours? Are you really out of that space already?
I see no way around the chasms
where do you keep glamours? I keep all the armor pieces and weapons in inventory, retainers and saddlebag
Every area on the moon is accessible on foot.
In the inn there is a piece of furniture where you can store them
60 gear requires the hunt currency, 70 is the savage collectors iirc
There are some solid 3-6 minute glamour tutorials on youtube that outline it better than I could here

HUGE Thanks to my Patreon Sponsors, who make this ...

Thanks for the help
Thanks all 🙂
I also see crafting has completely changed, half of the skills on my bars are greyed out with red slashes.
Time to hit up the youtubes
do you get something from doing all the role quests?
Atm you just get the dyeable gear for those classes, maybe more as the patches go on since they said it’ll be a continuation
the tank, healer and any dps one are required for battle mentor, and follow-up quests will be added in 6.1/later
alright then, thanks ^^
I just started playing on playstation but controlling characters with so many moves feels really cumbersome, what are some tips for playing on playstation, and is there an easy ranged class I can use controller with?
for healers, between ||limbo|| or ||eternal dark|| accessories, which is better?
is there a penalty for leaving dungeons?
if you're the first one, yes
Can I log in to Mogstation with psn account?
whats the penalty
30 min queue lockout
does it increase if you leave more or no
I do not believe so, but I do not know for certain
alright thanks
it does not
how's blue mage leveling go again?
buddy and I (not in party) just tried to slap a 71 enemy & they only go 1000xp
source: me after dodging castrum like 8 times in a day
Yet
i started playing again recently and i cant figure out why i can't summon my little carbunkle guy. the aether flow gauge is gone and now its a trance gauge or something?
can blue go to 80 now
No
i recommend a certain spot in ahm araeng for this
Khoulsia beach
it's somewhere here, there's a group of 7 zombie things
circle around that area and you can go from 1-70 BLU in 30 minutes
thank you <3
!action Summon Carbuncle
Can I log in to Mogstation with psn account?
yeah it says i cant use it as this class but i havent changed clesses
How difficult is tanking in high end content? I want to go back to tanking but I’m a bit scared of the pressure
About as hard as any other role
Drag the new one onto your hotbar
You still have the old one
Reassign everything
ok thanks. think i just gotta relearn the rotation
are the servers dying? I keep getting dc'd...
If an overmeld fails, do you lose all the materia in the item piece, or just the materia you tried to meld?
Just that one
would be a bit hardcore to lose all the pieces lol you have like 5% chance for some last slots
my brother wanted to also play this game, but since he cannot join as a new player, is there no way for him to play?
they stopped selling the game
anyone know off the top of their head how much exp msq roulette give at lvl 88? appx how much % of a level?
and you can't make new free trial accounts
so he can't play
Sales and trials are suspended until further notice
we wanna play together, else i would just let him play on my account, which i would assume isnt illegal
it always gives a substantial amount, it's always around 50% of your current level
I'm still monitoring my own gains, and I'm not sure if anyone else has taken the time to do any observational data on it, which is the only way we'd know. But from what I'm seeing right now, it's ranging anywhere from ~60% to ~80%.
It's a significant chunk.

yue!!
anyone? ;;
the "best" would be a mix of the two, getting rid of piety
but given you can get a whole set of ex2 accessories in one week
whereas if you did so with nm raid, you'd not be able to get armor
i'd say just get a full set of ex2
and get nm raid armor
your answer is: consult the balance.
yeah basically
!faq ewbalance
We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:
-
The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.
-
Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)
-
The current sample size of recorded runs and quality of data is not sufficient to eliminate variance in player skill, equipment, party composition, killtime and limited encounter design.
-
While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter design and party makeup. Some have yet to be discovered. These are all things that influence job balance, and can change with Savage even if current potencies remain.
-
Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more in harm than good.
Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.
Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.
BiS for savage will be a mix of both, depending on the stats you want/need.
Nothing that's actually bis is available atm
Won't bis be overmelded crafted gear
