what is the fastest way to level up a second job?
Are there any other beast tribes I could do for good leveling 70+?
Beast tribes, roulettes
I mean none of them will be good for exp but you can do any of the combat ones for free exp in general
what is doing a beast tribe?
Should I just be prioritizing ilvl for Savage raiding until I get BiS?
I checked balance for a pre-savage gear build but I couldn't find one or I didn't see it. (Reaper btw)
Yes
Is that going to be the new crafted set, or the new tome gear?
The new tome gear is 590 I believe or is upgradable to 590 and tome is just 580 rn
Which jobs do you think are the most played in the new savage raids?
I got a question I dropped raid last night because I kept 2002ing and my static cleared p1s wnd wanted to get the kill@for me idc about the coffers as much but if I kill it with them do I get the book still if they cleared it already?
Sage, reaper for sure
Yeah I’ll down it for the book the chests can suck it ty though
beast tribes are basically the rep grinds with the respective beast tribe in stormblood and up the beast tribe give some decent side exp daily
for that RMT bot, just right click report RMT then blacklist
if you dc'd before the boss is killed, you won't get books
oh I get it now, yeah you shuold get the book
what does "midcore static" mean ?
I think midcore is 3-4 days a week?
oh i see
casual = 1-2, midcore = 3-4, hardcore = 5-everyday
that's what my understanding is
No it was a link to a fake FFXIV website trying to get people to give away their username/pw by signing in (phishing)
yeah
Best way to farm the moonward gear?
Ok
still no eta for ff14 to be back in stores?
if there was it would be on the lodestone
ffs
What's with the "is this a 2 chest party thing" what do they mean?
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
So if multiple clears I can get 0 chest rewards but I will always get book?
So, what can one do when there is just no one that queues for the 11-20 bracket in HoH? I have been queued for a total of almost an hour by now...
So lets stay there's one person in the party that cleared, and the rest haven't. That makes it a 1 chest party, and book? Or am I wrong ..?
I'm still fuzzled
thats correct
And if 5 cleared, no chest, and no book
No no I know that but
Do I only get the book once per weekly
or do I always get it on clear
its weekly locked like everything else
sobbing
if you clear a floor then youre completely locked out for any rewards for the rest of the week
and if you try to join anyone elses party youll just fuck over their loot
Does Frontline roulette give more exp at lower or higher levels? Or does it just scale to a specific %?

all roulettes are proportional
can i save my appearance i have before i use fantasia? so i can go back at a later date
go to the character select screen and right click your name and click save appearance
much obliged
Is there somewhere I can read on this "game freeze" - my account is active.. I just need 2 expacs.. would like to check out the trust system.
I should be able to just apply a digital code, yeah?
Anyone?
Make a PF, say you’re trying to reach 21-30
Oh, that could work? Alright, let's try it!
The expansion is still available for purchase, just not he base game. If you already own the base game you can buy and apply Endwalker. If you are on the free trial you cannot upgrade at this time.

Appreciate it
do i get the dungeon xp with leveling rout ? ?
Yes
ty
Then you get the bonus to compensate for level differences
👍
how do i remove skills from my crosshotbars on controller?
Activate trigger -> touch bar -> select skill twice. Or something like that.
Is there a way to disable the auto playing ear piercing intro cinematic that plays on the login screen if its gone idle for too long?
!faq quicklauncher
There's an option in there to not play the trailer
Gotcha ty
You got the weapon token (I assume based on the limited info)
^
No I didn't get it
I don't seem to see an option in the XIVlauncher regarding it
I failed to roll the one I wanted each time I did the run
Yes you did. Everyone gets one.
if its the 4th floor you got a weapon token
Everyone has uno
It's the weapon token then
Under simple tweaks iirc
not the one I roll for
yes thats what we said
Correct
Everyone gets a weapon token
weapon tokens are dropped straight into your inventory
In-game, or in the XIVLauncher settings?
In-game, under the dalamud plugins
Plug ins
Gotcha ty
Is there any monk hotbar setups for endwalker that’s on controller. I can only find people that uses PC
Yea part of simple tweaks plugin, under the general tweaks tab
does anyone know how to remove skills from crosshotbar on ps5?
Crosshotbar is just a copy of another hotbar
.
Hold R1 and press the right buttons, you'll see the crosshotbar actual hotbar
Alternatively you can use the R1 + face button to change the initial hotbar to whichever hotbar is used for the crosshotbar you want to change.
Thats what I said :)
That you did
Haha
where do you trade in the Anthoclusters for materia?
Additional bonus for being the role that is needed
Probably radz-at-han
What are the bonuses for adventurer in need?
Depends on the roulette. More gil/xp/currency/tokens
It’s on screen
they change based on level but you can see them under the daily roulette bonus
Thanks
theres a vendor in sharlayan
Isn't it just gil and xp?
Ah okay
And gc seals too
Actually a good way to level up your company rank before unlocking expert deliveries
so its hold down L2 or R2 + touch pad click
The touch pad should open the move skill pop up. You select a skill to move and if you choose the same skill again it removes it.
Not at my console at the moment but I think that is how it works.
Why do VI materia give more stats than IX ?
VI is the "high tier" materia of that tier
IX is the "low tier" materia of this tier
you can only pentameld a limited amount of high tier materia
low tiers can be pentamelded into the 4th and 5th slots, high tiers cannot
if you don't care about pentamelding then sure, meld VI or better yet, meld VIII
low tier materia are kinda shitty, their best use is as pentameld fodder
Oh yeah, so the 2nd highest materia is actually VIII since it's the highest of the previous tier
Cool, thanks mate !
how does army ethos work?
do i get 4 stacks of army paeon, wait for it to expire then sing a new song?
the skill speed bonus from army's paeon carries into your next song
you want to stay in army's until the last 3 seconds
bard song cycle looks like this: 43 32 43
so basically when wanderer's minuet has 3 or 2 seconds left, start playing mage's ballad
when mage's ballad has 12 or less seconds left, start playing army's paeon
when army's has 2 seconds left, wanderer's minuet should be off CD again, so play that
you cut mage's ballad shorter than the other songs
*34
But correct on the 12 remaining timer.
Anyone can help me? I ordered the new das-on on ps5 and didnt See that the starter game is not included. How to get it now?
This is also mutable depending on the fight.
For example [EX2 spoilers] ||you actually want to let all three songs run nearly full length for the first phase of Mom Ex, so that AP ends right as she transitions, and start up on WM and your two-minute buffs for the add phase||.
But generally, yeah, the 43/34/43 pattern is ideal.
SE has temporarily disabled sales of the base game and complete edition for now to combat against the massive congestion the servers are facing.
How do you change stances and access cross skills on white mage?
So no new players can play the game
hey for "a new path of resistance", i need to do either palace of the dead or delubrum. which one would be better ? i've seen that its a "chance" in potd, is the droprate high or low ?
Cross class skills are gone now. You have Role Actions to replace them.
Lag is pretty bad right now. Anyone else having Lag issues ?
Currently PotD is probably faster, considering barely anyone is queueing for DR right now.
If you can solo/duo DR then that's probably the better option, but if you can't, then PotD.
Same with stances? I swear I had to swap to dps or heal before
That’s also gone too
You do full power of both at all times as your damage now scales off of mind.
Hey can anyone speaking German i need Help i have a error
That's awesome! Sounds like I'm not gonna even bother trying these other healers and stick to whm haha
There's only one weapon drop per week for progress content right? I think I have two in my bag, is there a spot on the UI that shows where or if you got it like the other loot
Will there be clear/prog parties week 2 or 3 of savage? Or is it just gonna be all duty complete. I have a busy week and idk if I can clear it this one
I need Help pls

Are we limited to a number of materias of a specific stat ?
youre limited by how much of the stat you can put in
@halcyon crest theres no guidelines to posting, you just make up a post
I was more or less referring to what the terms in the brackets mean so i can be as accurate as possible
LFM = looking for member
LFG = looking for group
[World][FC] and whatever tags you want, if you want
new people still cant buy the game?
nope
can you trade collectables with players?
collectables? no, they're untradeable
not even like exchanging it?
i wasnt talking about the market
just like between player A and B
they are untradable
unlucky i can't get pl 😔
leveling crafters is taking a toll on my miserable amount of gil
it shouldn't be that expensive
It's only expensive if you're buying everything
and even if you could trade them, you'd be spending way more money for other people to craft you collectibles lol
no i have a friend
i would still pay for the ressources
i just need the collectible bar
to be full
for max xp
well, there are numerous ways to level that are cheap or free
thx ima use this
gimme gimme 😳
isnt studium level 60?
80
can some1 link zodiac weapon guide
you never specified what level you are, i'm just assuming
oh yeah rn im 55 blacksmith
and whats taking a toll on my gil is the job quests
thank you
you mean the other crafters?
yeah
oh really?
did i just lose 100K gil for nothing? 😔
100k is nothing
hey be nice to poor people 😢
barely scraping by around here...
ima use the guide that robot sent me
Sell stuff on the market board
Hello, I am finding out that crafting is very complicated is there any guide or something that I should take care of with them?
How do i unlock halatali? nedrick doesnt have the quest for me
yeah but i just dont like doing everything at the same time
im more of rush one thing
is this guide for crafters in general? not a specific one?
yeah cause they all follow the same leveling method
You craft, you turn in craft, you gain rewards
there wasn't any udpate yesterday/today, right?
for some reason my game has suddenly decided that it needs to download 25gb
no there wasnt
even though it was running fine yesterday
Did you register something
try to look at the folder of the game or windows defender
oh, I bought endwalker
that makes sense, then
anyone knows if from 50-60, between PoTD and Dungeon, which would be more efficient say if we ignore the queue time?
Dungeons if you got fast/short queue
🙏
What is the name of the blue quest that the Wandering Dramaturge gives in Gango?
/what is it for
DR Savage I think?
"a seaside story" is for Delubrum Reginae (Savage)
but you also talk to the dramaturge to unlock memoria miseria (extreme)
When I purchase a new retainer from the mogstation, is it instantly available in game or do I have to re-log in?
may take the system a little bit to register that you're flagged to e able to make another retainer, but shouldn't need to log out for that
Thank you!
Can I buy the game yet?
nope
fwiw, whenever i've purchased another retainer it always becomes instantly available on relog
Gotten the one I've had up already to 90 and wanna focus on low level ones to get them to 50. What's the best way to go about it?
Nofuckingway yet
yesterday afternoon I think i hit about 500-600 queue on Crystal.
send them out on quick ventures every hour, on the hour while you're logged in
can send them out on the 18hr ventures when you log off for the night/know you're going to be unable to play for awhile
oh sorry
Actual class/jobs xD
you kind of made it seem like you were piggybacking off of the retainer conversation
!faq altlvlguide
Oh fuck I forgot about that guide. Damn still PotD and dungeons. I guess I just gotta do it the hard way then xD
Thank you
Can I not sell a weapon i bought on the market?
so you cant like buy and resell later if you plan to use?
Bound gear can’t be sold
With the SP my Chocobo gets, can I max every skill for it? Or does it amount to 2 skill sets?
and theres no way to unbind?
No
Eventually, at rank 20
So given it gets to rank 20, everything can be maxed? Great! Ty
Hey ! Coming back for a few days, I am very hesitant between summoner or black mage, if you can advise me to choose ! Are the two classes easy enough to get back in hand ? Thank you !
Summoner got a 100% rework, Black Mage is the same old same old
can you buy back from retainers?
on the main retainer menu
Okay, thank you !
gotcha

Weird question but what was the name of the lady who got griefed by people joining her PF during a JP XIV community stream?
found it, it was Koike 
Is there a site for saving an imaginary gear set? Like say I want to get BiS non savage gear through astronomy+EX trials+normal raid+crafted gear and save a build for future reference? While I work towards it
Ariyala should be what you’re looking for
Ty
what does this star mean? i'm scared, other items didn't have it
Bonus
ohhh that's why it gives almost 2mil while the supply one gives some miserable 660k x2
you should HQ those if at all possible
It’s also level dependent so
the exp bonus gets further increased
You can't HQ the gathered materials but crafted does give a bonus for HQ
yeah it's 660k x2 :(
Again level dependent
but my level bar is at 2mil just like the mining one :(
Yes, depends on the job
Mostly they are rotation based thresholds
I don't think there are those kind of thresholds but at high level it may take more than 1 SkS to see a .01 difference. Not sure.
It is more, how do we fit an extra GCD in this buff window kind of thing.
It is still less time spent casting and more overall hps/dps.
Probably not as good as crit or what have you though.
actually for AST it's like pretty high priority because AST literally has positive MP regeneration and will quite literally never OOM
True
But that's currently an exception
`Yes this gets its own section for now. AST has been a SpS-guzzling job since the end of Shadowbringers with MP adjustments, and the egregiousness of the addiction has been more enabled in Endwalker.
If you want the short story, it simply provides more damage should you never run out of MP/sacrifice other stats for Piety.
If you want the longer explanation, there are only two quadratic stats in the game that grow stronger the more of it you have: Crit and SpS. Crit still provides the most damage as observed easily through simulations (more chances to crit + higher crit numbers stack together), so this choice is made easier. But why SpS?
In a very crude and not 100% perfect way of explaining things, think about the term DPS. Damage per Second. Crit improves your DPS by increasing your Damage done in an interval of time. SpS improves your DPS by decreasing the Seconds required to do a given amount of damage.
`
From Balance
Generally healers have a specific tier you get to with sps and that's it
As it results in the easiest dps gain without giving you more speed resulting in more mana usage for less damage gain
hello does anyone know why i get hit with "reward already received" when i didnt clear p1s
did you go into p2-4s?
Cause that would be why
i went into progging
i thought only if u clear?
you automatically give up previous floor rewards
that was what i was told
Entering p2s automatically throws away p1s rewards
so i cant get token or coffer?
nope
Any big crafter able to help?
is doing ishgardian restoration as expensive as leves?
Prices are different on each server. They are all free if you gather yourself. Most consider the ishgardian route fastest/cheapest though.
Watcha need?
ok, thanks!
just unlocked the first EW raid, but I'm not sure where I go to get 565+ gear before the raid. Does anyone know?
Unlimited tomestone is the easiest way
is unlimited tomestone also called aphorism?
Yes
Is there a date for when people will be able to buy/download the game again?
That's a shame, thanks for answering tho.
I doubt sqenix knows
the last bit of planned content is Heavens' Wake in late january
so probably around that time onwards
Do I need to craft my own gear to do savage or can I do savage with limbo gear
what does this effect do?
It’s basically spell speed or skill speed right
Wait I should be able to do PotD from level 1 right?
Ah ok, the altleveling faq says 15 but must've been for unlocking then
Yeah, you can do it on a level 1 class, but you need to have a higher level job to unlock it
Cool cool ;D
Once it's unlocked though you can go in with a naked level 1 thaumaturge for all the game cares
Potd is a lvl 17 unlock
Hi, where can I find a rotation chart for blm? From lvl 35 to max if possible! Thanks, I asked on reddit and they told me to go in the "balance discord"? Hope I'm in the right place rn
tl;Dr it's basically a supercharged skillspeed/spell speed stat
!faq blmleveling
!faq balance
Can you get more than 1 raid book per week? can I just keep clearing p1s for more books in the same week?
nope
Does food help exp gain in PotD or is it just reward exp and nothing boosts it?
Which is faster to get to 70-80 bozja or dungeon hunting
All of a sudden my AD keys are acting similar to strafe keys, not entirely but they dont move the camera like they normally would.
They asked for 70-80
Thx, isn't there an icon version? 😅 My game is in French, if not I'll just decipher, I'm assuming B3 & F3 are the lvl 35 skills, they replace the basic fire & ice skills & transpose now right? I heard that using one or the other to swap mode use 0 MP & gives lvl 3 instantly which mean transpose is useless now
Is there AF gear at 80 that I can use for my retainers that is higher ilevel than the stuff I'm buying from vendors?
AF is never high
That’s the only AF at 80
AF is entry level gear for that level
Before all the other proper gear and it's tiers
other than the lv. 50 crafter "relics",
are there any other crafter main hands that are worn on the back instead of the hip?
Can I safely get rid of Honorbound weapon for PLD?
how do unlock the rest of the extreme trials in AAR im trying to get all the horses ive already unlocked the 'whorleater' but havnt got the mount, and then the Akh Afah i have got the mount, so only the ice mount ive got in total. But Urianger doesnt have any quests for me ive Yt it but cant find anything on it, could anyone help my highest lv job is 62 so i cant solo them either im just looking to unlock them all so i can attempt to try and get all the ponys
!faq contentunlock
If you have a better weapon and don’t want to glam it...
You can always just get the replica
3 head question, if someone hasnt cleared p9s can you still jump t hem ahead to p10s if the party lead has cleared?
Those don’t exist yet sooooo
yes, you can skip floors if you're in a party with someone who has cleared
woops
but you forfeit your loot
p1s i mean
from previous floors
even if thy havent cleared p1s at all? (like no first kill either)
or would it be locked
oh thank god
I just finished Endwalker, should I be immediately melding the Artifact gear that I've gotten from the story thus far?
no
the artifact gear can be easily replaced by 570 tomes (no limit) or 590 tome set pieces (weekly limit) or crafted gear (580)
Tomes, as in poetics or
poetics arent for level cap
Ah k
you need the lvl cap tomes
a good way to farm poetics?
?
did u clear all the expert roulette dungeons yet?
They are side quests in sharlayan
kk checking the sidequests now
They close to scholars Harbor iirc
I need help
With?
Specifically, the two dungeons you're looking for are ||Smileton|| and ||the Stigma Dreamscape||. The roulette also includes ||the Dead Ends||, but obviously you'd've completed that already.
When i Close the Game then comes this Its the Steam Version btw
Idk is weird
try asking #technology-discussion
For what it's worth, I have the exact same issue when closing the game from Steam. Just gotta spam left/right mouse for a second and it'll disappear, but it does indeed stay with a black screen until I do so
are the bozja dps buffs multiplicative?
So I'm seeing these new dungeons pop up past the initial 90. Are these the dungeons I'm going to be going to to farm for gear...?
They award the new tomestones, which can be used to buy gear, and are included in the expert roulette.
The gear from the dungeons themselves are the same as the first 90 dungeon. And are more for replacing any leveling gear while you work on getting endgame gear
They drop accessories
kk
Given that you die in two hits in Delubrum, is it harder to play a profane green DPS rather than a regular DPS?
Or about the same difficulty
Can I do savage content even without pentameld?
I think pentameld is just for world firsts and money?
you dont need pentamelded for savage, unless you're aiming for week 1 clear
What's the fast way for EXP? I'm only focusing of MSQ rn (Lvl 36) should I be doing something else aside that award big exp? I heard about daily roulette here & there what are they & where can I find them, also how do I get food for the 3% exp boost? I sometime get it from quests but that's rare
uh
Any idea why the swift beak doesn't have a gear above his head that I need to kill him for this book? adn that when I do kill them they don't count?
What would the minimum ideal gear to do savage? Limbo ok?
if you have full crafted, so long as you've got the assured meld slots melded, you're fine or mix of normal crafted
Just doing MSQ will keep your level the same as the content
do you have the relic equipped?
fucking - doh - thanks
MSQ gives a lot of XP. Dungeons are the other big one. You can buy xp food off merchants or make it yourself if you learn Culinary trade.
Don't need to HQ right? Just regular crafted would be fine?
NQ gear will not cut it, at all
you can get away with NQ while leveling crafting/gathering
Yeah, even though it's the same item level as HQ crafted gear, normal raid gear, and extreme trial gear, it has notably inferior stats
NQ doesn't cut it for combat though
Okay i can't seem to get this 10k hq then i don't understand
you don't need crafted gear if you're willing to go slow with savage
getting what pieces of limbo you can, plus aphorism/extreme stuff is fine
If you're struggling to reach maximum quality on the master recipes, you'll need to get more HQ materials (you can get about 5500 quality to start off with), use food/medicine (like Tsai tou Vounou and Cunning Craftsman's Draught), and/or get better gear on your crafter/more materia melded in
My current set that does the job just fine
just have to keep in mind that p3/4s likely aren't going to be done until a few weeks later
Balance has Budget savage sets that use mainly ex/normal raid stuff with some crafted
I'd like to be able to craft my own just having to figure out to get the HQ is interesting I guess
Is there a way to join an ongoing Delubrum Savage run?
I'm leveling my crafters, when I'm doing Ishgard restoration and have to craft certain items using a macro I should not use Quick Synthesis, right?
because it would fail a lot
you cant quick synth collectibles
ah ok
Can i make hotbars show on mouseover and hide when not?
No
can i move the mage bar thing? or is it fixed in place?
Everything is movable under "HUD" settings
ah yes i remember now ty
You can also simplify it
how does ixali quest sync work? i notice when i do the quests on a <28 crafter, the xp scales, but when i do it on a 53 crafter, just flat 1k?
other than the lv. 50 crafter "relics",
are there any other crafter main hands that are worn on the back instead of the hip?
most of the final sets, like Aesthete's at level 80
you're out of the level range for ixali
But those also get scaled up to be massively oversized when on your back
oh do they only scale to 50? cuz it's ARR stuff
crafting/gathering beast tribes always die once your out of their lvl range
yes
should be doing moogles for 50-60
Ixal 1-50, Moogles 50-60, Namazu 60-70, Dwarves 70-80 for Crafting/Qitari 70-80 for Gathering (still hate this split)
ARR tribes don’t have quest sync
Help
im just doing it for reputation but leveling my crafters along the way
And yea, the individual quests don't sync, they have various quest givers with different sets
is there like a chart where i can see what skill are use for
like mining is use for gold and blacksmith
Everything uses basically everything
Have squenz anything about working on uping the server capacity?
Have servers magically come into existence?
Road map in late jan
Okay sweet thanks
hey thanks for the guide again made my life 100x easier 😼
But for example, later on Armorer and Blacksmith also need woods and alchemical concoctions made from plants for armor and weapons, along with glues and leathers for wraps
oh, i thought there where something where there was a line that goes from one skill to another
Nope, everything uses each other
i think that was removed at some point
Even alchemy needs both mining and botany, since a lot of its potions and concoctions use mined water
Yo guys I’m trying to get the game on my PlayStation 5 . I somehow downloaded the game and made a account but now the game tells me to purchase the digital download from the store but I’m unsure which one it is because all I see are add ons. Can someone help ?

game too popular they cut sales for the time being to alleviate queue issues
Thank you guys I shall wait then
Too many people + too few servers + literally unable to get servers = cut all sales and marketing until problems start getting fixed
if u werent already playing at some point in the past, you cant play right now
Btw, hypothetically speaking, if the server availability wasn't a problem, do you guys think SE should make a second NA datacenter specifically for east coast?
No
Since queues die when East coast goes to bed XD
They said they wouldn't one time
So they don't split players
Why split a playerbase
latency
that's ultimately not really a question for this channel
since its more of a discussion question
how many time can you feed your chocobird Tantalplant and other fruit
I just turned lv80 what is some good armor I can quickly get?
latency is only a problem because of sqex's netcode.. which is fixable with 3rd party applications, tbh
80 poetics gear?
poetics gear in either eulmore or crystarium
Thanks
you need to finish shb msq first though
if you haven't done that.. just keep going through msq.
I'm done with msq this is my first lv80 alt I leveled
where in Crystarium do you spend poetics ?
Right next to the Aetheryte, I think the NPC is to the southeast against the wall in the plaza
thanks Rak!
Post expansion are typically within a stone's throw of the main cities Aetheryte
will the new crafter gear in future patches be harder to craft than the current stuff?
Yes but no
wdym?
Higher stat requirements, but they'll also add in new tiers of scrip gear to make reaching those stats easier if you're behind
is there a max mettle cap?
Yes
25mil
25 millions
is there a reason to keep melding on my current gear if i can already craft everything?
or will i not be able to craft the next tier
Right now? Honestly no, some hardcore crafters might say otherwise, like to not have to edit their macros, but eh
and if you're just barely at the breakpoints right now (3180 Craftsmanship, 3080 Control) you're almost guaranteed not be able to make the next set when they're added unless you make the new armor or meld for the stats you're missing
Q: usually when I catch a fish, it shows Conditions:none,..etc,..gives me the details. but in EW, when I catch fish it still shows ?????. These don't auto unlock when you catch them?
That's normal
was it one of the big fish?
Like does it say it needs a Folklore book?
the folklore ones are usually on the right of the list. but these are like ALl the fish,.
I'm at Cra 3347, Con 3448, CP 545. Not sure if thats high or low, but some stuff is missing the last slot, and basically every tool has 1 or 2, and i dont know if i want to spend a fortune to pentameld everything if im already relatively cushy
Then yea, you should be good for a bit
that's really fucking weird stats
Also that ^
weather,time, special , all have ???? but I caught the fish already,..
like way too high crafts/control for no CP? did you overmeld crafts/control and not cap CP? cause CP cap is kind of a given if you want to bother overmelding
Which map number?
I am in Labrynthos,
was wondering if i should use my allagan tomestons of poe on shawdow bringer gear (half way through shadow bringer story) or casually get the better gear as i play the story for the endwalker?
basically yeah, i was going to penta but all of the CP was in the last slot so i need a metric ton of cunning V
make sure to reopen the fishing log
it only updates if you close and reopen
Hmm, that is weird
Mine say it too and I just logged in a few minutes ago
Oversight? Not like they actually ever say anything >_>
that's really not how you should be melding, either you go all the way, or you find cheaper melds for your needs, leaving CP for last and wasting a ton of money then stopping is just going to be the same as spending like 1/10th of the money on mid melds
oh yeah hadn't noticed they do say ????, weird
well I'm sure you can craft stuff with this CP, it's just inefficient to do it this way
i can get like 12 relatively easily without touching the tools
How ever much you need? I'm personally only at 3006 Craft, 2818 Control, and 498 CP
Cp should be capped in every piece
Nah
Current no HQ material macros are at 3289, 3180, and 564 I believe
You don't need THAT much
fish
yeah as I said I did just check and yeah it's weird
they messed up EW log or something
I hadn't even noticed because I usually don't really look at the info there
ok thanks,..just wondering if I needed a book or something,.
Besides as long as you use the skills they give you (and hq the base mats) you can make pretty much anything
to craft current 1* I have minimum craft/control and 574CP(which is like 2 off cap, but don't need them), can HQ the 1star with 2 HQ mats(the basic non starred mat+the alchemy stuff is what I do, rest I just NQ mats), having more craft/control is basically to remove the need for the HQ mats
but if you have low CP you'd probably lose that advantage cause you can't use as many skills in the crafting process, so you'd still need 2HQ
maybe 1? I guess it's just 30CP so basically a trained finesse less
I mean it's ultimately not that much of a big deal, you can also syrup/draught to compensate if needed, you'll just likely have to do your own macros
Hey guys, sorry if this question is confusing but im trying to get more into gil making, and I know there’s lots of ways to make gil. But is the easiest way to just grind my gatherers and crafters to level 90?
Doing so would certainly open up a lot of Gil-making options
I wouldn't say that's the easiest way
Okay that was what I was thinking, if its not the easiest way, is it the best way at least?
the easiest way is to just derpy derp on EW FATEs until you unlock every area then sell the mount ticket things for ex
the slightly less easy way would be to buy maps and run maps in parties
I mean, my normal rotation for 80 durability is Reflect-Manipulation-Waste Not 1-Innovation-Delicate Synthesis x6-Prudent Touch-Great Strides-Innovation-Byregot's Blessing-Careful Synthesis x2
did any VA stay inbetween arr and HW or was it a complete recast
after that yeah leveling gathering/crafting can make money, but it takes a while to do, and it doesn't make THAT much money anymore with everyone doing it, the margins are much lower than they used to
Include less Delicate Synthesis and Prudent Touches if using HQ mats.
aymeric, hauchefaunt and midgardsormr are pretty much the only 3 that remained into HW
Complete recast
everyone else was recast
no
Okay thanks guys
The new characters like those were already with good people
Depends on the agency though
are dungeons a good way to level up jobs?
Can I use a referal code from a friend with an existing account?
whatever happened to the cross data center travel that was coming with EW?
Is wearing the i570 purple script gear (crafting) an acceptable alternative to pentamelding i560? I mean, is i560 pentameld a SIGNIFICANT difference and leaves i570 in the dust? That's kind of my actual question.
"Coming after 6.0x" Sometime in or after 6.1
is there a better method of leveling up jobs other than dungeons?
But also you have to LOG OUT to use data center travel. And well.. queues
Unless you can stand the mind-numbing tedium of Bozja if they're level 71+ no
!faq altlvlguide
Where in the mogstation can I find the refer-a-friend thing?
How exactly do i unlock legendary nodes?
does anyone know if you pay your sub x amount of months in advance wlil you immediately be credited for the veteran rewards? or do you still have to wait
Are the Trust quests required to finish the Endwalker MSQ like in ShB?
Where to find good ffxiv pfp
do you mean role quests? cause trusts=dungeons with NPCs
role quests are optional in EW
they give a bit of xp and the ability to dye your AF(job armor)
Is that whats it called? I just unlocked it with the Radiant people
in the embassy location
yeah role quests which replaced job quests
trusts are not that at all, it's when you do dungeons with the NPCs instead of players
any rooms in eulromore or do i have to go back to the cristrium for a armory ?
Is it possible to get more than one asphodelos book per week from the same raid if I pug it with enough people to have at least 1 chest at the end?
No
There's no reason to run savage multiple times a week outside of speed kills or helping others
very very minor ||stormblood|| spoiler. I'm running normal preset cuz my gpu has 75w tdp. Is there any option i can modify to not have shades this black? The light in my room is being reflected on my monitor because the screen is that black.
whats good getting upgrade first, weapon or armor
Is spamming dungeons while doing hunts/fates a decent way to level a 2nd job ? Ive heard of straight up POTD spam but that sounds a little bit dreadful
#technology-discussion might know better
!faq altlvlguide
Thank you ! 🌻
So, quick aside comment: if you hide the content a spoiler might cover behind a spoiler tag of its own, no one will know what the spoiler is potentially spoiling lol
Depends on your overall gear and what you’re upgrading to. In terms of pure stats/damage, the general order is Weapon > Chest/Legs > Head/Arms/Boots > Accessories

right. I forgot some people love to impulsively click on spoiler tags
aleast i know what to go for once i get enough tombs for Shire stuff
okay i gathered for a bit in diadem, where do i turn it the things i gathered? it’s only the lowest level stuff you can gather but it’s something
Always get Weapon first if possible, because damage is the most relevant stat
Leave diadem, talk to guy to the left
If you wanna be scammed and banned
well alright then
yeah but its not buying an account its just the expansion
damn okay
Has anyone experienced crashes to desktop? I've been dealing with this since normal raids came out, I've updated drivers, uninstalled reinstalled, cleared cache of plugins, I have even factory reset my pc and keep crashing to desktop with no error, any help would be really appreciated
Question about Materia for melee physical DPS (Reaper) - DHR or Crit materias? it's okay if it's too complicated of a question, but would I be making a major mistake by doing one over the other or is it fine? Should I match my DHR with my Crit?
are you in pre-savage gear?
iirc, CRIT > DH=Det
could you elaborate how that works, Crit has to be maxed, but only after DH is matched with Determination?
you need to keep in mind though, that every piece of gear has stat cap on it
So if its capped on crit, you either meld det or dh
can't put crit into every single piece of gear
oh got it, so basically the stats it's missing is what I meld in
is there a discord for reapers that I can read up more at? as shown in ur pic
!faq balance
much appreciated this was what I was looking for :)
https://etro.gg/gearset/fb122aa1-7086-45f5-ba60-4bf462d7c218 here's their pre savage without pentameld
thank you for that. is there a way to know an item's stat cap?
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
Like so in the image
thank you, I think I know what you are talking about now!
some people use http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/RPR
so with that In mind "Crit > DH = DET" means if I can't socket Crit, DH or DET are both equal?
Yes
is there a button to disable text on the character select screen?
not sure if scroll lock works on that screen
does anyone know if the armor in the heavensturn promotional art is obtainable
it does! exactly what I wanted. tyyy!!
any picture? I think that's the omega raid set
I just took a glance on the picture
ah

Aka/Ao Oni hara-ate
Hello, I currently use the entry sub, is it possible for me to change this without having to resub a month in advance?
Awesome! Thank you ❤️
Did Zhloe get nerfed in the year since I've stopped playing?
??? How do u nerf an NPC?
The amount of exp they give or the amount you can turn in, ect.
I might be misremembering
Always been weekly
She's always been a weekly thing though?
Ok
So trying to level up my gatherers atm. I want to be doing the white scrips collectible turn in so that I can buy the white-scrip gear right? Noticed my miner is 80 but in 70scrip and my botanist is 78
yeh, you can upgrade to landsaint
Does no one do Thornmarch Extreme for some reason? I've managed to get groups for all the other ARR trials.
just get enough whitescrips, the gear themselves are cheap
old ex trials usually done unrestricted party
and all ex/savage are not done by DF cause it requires coordination and communication between players usually
And thornmarch ex on df SUCKS
Cuz you have to get your other 7 idiots to actually listen and hold their dps
I get that it would be easier that way, but I have Duty Found all the others, including exs.
Since I have 70-scrip gear, how do I know what to aim for here that is safe?
I remember there used to be some sort of strategy for min-maxing which to do
Oh wait, these are all timed nodes aren't they
yeah, usually
Ack
you can use /timer
Is it even worth doing the non-timed nodes?
yeah it's still wrothed, just make sure you reached the max collectables
Just curious…in endwalker ||there’s a scene where the wol is in their room and it says you hear a knock on the door - asks you to pick a name. Does the name you pick always show up or is it always graha Tia? ||
Who you picked
Interesting
You can replay the cutscene to get all the dialog from your room's cutscene player I believe
Ah cool. Ok and just keep doing the other options. Ok
What is /timer, command doesn't exist
oh sorry, it's /alarm
After updating my password In mog station I cant log into steam?
Ah, I remember this.
I think I eventually resorted to using 3rd-party software like Teamcraft or Garland tools. I forgot which though, since it's been over a year...
eh? why need that?
Because /alarm was limited I think
It's cleared everytime you log out
that too
I know when I quit playing I was going ham on crafting/gathering and making a lot of money
and there was a reason I stopped using /alarm
I updates my password cause I was gonna try and cone back but it wouldn't accept the correct password for some reason now I'm locked out? Is this a bug I don't understand
yoru steam and ffxiv password are different..
mogstation only change the password you put into the launcher
I am adding to the glamour thing like manic is there no limit to it ?
Like i was logged into MOG station fine amd couldn't log on to game. I changed my password, couldn't log into either now in locked out of both
Damm is that per gear kind or overall ?
Don't get how I log Into MOG fine but the game just doesn't work
overall
Sad any way to increase that ?
nope
I guess I’ll have to hire more retainers
Also what is the diff between that and the armory ?
Yea I just logged onto MOG fine but I can't get I to the game
Wtf is going on
I mean the thing with the mirror where u put the items in and can make glamours out them
And what is the thing next to it ?
armoire
And what does it do ?
the armoire is largely for event, and achievement items
there are some gears you can put inside, event gears usually
so while it is technically unlimited space, its limited in what can actually go in there
Ohh like my lvl 50 60 70 gear ?
what does this emote mean? what's polishing a tomestone?
hey, i'm currently a lvl59 white mage, and i have no idea how to play this game. is there anybody willing to dumb it down to me and explain what i should be doing rn? and i'm looking to join a guild too !
basically like using an iphone
what's a tomestone? like the ones for armor?
they're information storage devices in-game
oh wait, the one in cutscenes that keep beeping when someone called
that's not tomestone?
?
That's a linkpearl
oh right
ahh my buddy said tomestone looked like RGB ram. I guess he was right lol, it is it ram
kind of jokingly say they're more like usb sticks
When you are like level 80, and you do the dungeon roulette, does it include dungeons all the way down to the first you unlock in ARR?
Roulettes include all duties that you’ve unlocked for that category, that you’d be able to enter
Some of them are not included. The wiki has all the dungeons/trials that are included in the roulettes
New to the game and looking for addons. Anyone know a reputable site with good ones? Specifically, for now, looking for a good "Market Board" addon and a "Damage Meter" addon.
essentially all the dungeons you've unlocked minus the msq roulette ones
i feel like you said this three minutes ago
!faq quicklauncher
@oak quarry I said it in the main chat, but no one replies. Trying the questions and help now 😉
This has and does most the plug ins
oh wait
and also not the ones in 50/60/70/80
50/60/70/80 dungeons aren't in leveling roulette cos they're not leveling dungeons
they're in their own separate roulette
Quicklauncher includes dalamund which lets you download plugins. Be careful because because game modifications is not specifically mentioned in terms of use so it could eventually get you banned if square enix ever decides that it's against the rules.
leveling roulette has all dungeons that do not end in 0 in it, from ARR to Endwalker (as well was the 3 leveling trials since they're a bit awkward and are 4 mans not 8, like other trials)
right
that too
nothing more fun than queueing for 20 minutes as a dps and getting bowl of embers normal
how can i visit other houses??
go up to the door and walk in (if the option is there)
if there isn't an option the house is private
I have to go AFK for a moment, how long until my character gets kicked out if I take too long?
30 minutes
30mins
Thanks chums
question for about dark knights living dead are white mages the only healers that are able to really heal an dark knight to full health?
No
No
Because you don’t need a 100% heal, you need enough heals to = 100% of the DRK’s health
WHM just has the easiest time doing it
since you slap a benediction on their face and tis taken care of
AST can also deal with it relatively easily, with essential dignity
sch/sge can be a little more annoying to deal with it
but in the end, every healer can deal with it
if i remember right just been told like full heal just to be safe over sorry thats why i said that
just varying degrees of easy to annoyance
is there a way to disable the like
you know on ur hotbars to the left is the arrow
and there are like settings like 1,2,3,4,etc
is there a way to disable that being switched cuz im trying to do a combo or something and i press something idk what and it swaps to like preset 6
and i have to click down back to 1
this thing
Disable that key in your keybinds
Is there a white scrip person in Crystarium btw? I am looking at map and can't find an icon for one
that'd be in eulmore
ah kk
so I picked up three role quests for EW at once, and now I don't know which is which. one should be melee, one should be healer, one should be caster... which is which?
best way to farm wind shards?
Buy them
find a node that you can harvest them from with mining/botany
You're better off spending time making money, then using that time to buy the shards
Where do they want you to go?
any help pls
tytyty
first one to Raubahn, second to Merlwyb, third to Aymeric
Caster is Ishgard
may wanna turn this off as well, if ur not gonna use hotbar cycling at all
far from free = healer, storm clouds brewing = melee, our aching souls = caster
Melee is lisma
cheers, ty
awesome ty so much
are you allowed to roll on loot again in a 2nd clear if you didn't get anything first clear?

Nope
ok ty
congrats!
if you skip the credit, you only skip the credit
it doesn't work like hollywood movie where there's a post credit scene
Okay so I guess there just wasnt any lmao
👏
Well I mean there is, you just dont have to sit through tbe credits for it lmao
rofl
Should I aim for ilvl500 or ilvl470 gatherer gear?
I noticed the ilvl500 is much more expensive, for scrips
500
What's the current ilvl for max gatherer in Endwalker btw?
afaik 560, but maybe it's more now
6.05 didnt bring any changes to gathering/crafting gear
so 560 for crafted, 570 (slightly less cant be assed to actually try and calculate average ilv) for scrip gear
I'm playing on crystal dc which I believe has the least amount of raiders and I just noticed that there's about 94 raiding pfs up atm which is the highest ive ever personally seen. So im wondering whats it like right now on the other NA datacenters?
avg ilvl is probably ~565 for using scrip gear (because no right side scrip)
where is yhe quest to be a leather worker
Is there a way to see collectibles exchange away from the vendor?
Gridania
thank
collectables have their own section in the crafting/gathering log
Yeah but not all of them are currently active
Only 1/2 of those
Level up
You need to be higher yeah
What masterias should I use for WHM?
Piety, probably
If I make a gear set for my Gladiator do I have to update everytime I change to a new peice of gear?
Yes, but it is just one button
The refresh circle, That lights up
piety is and will always be a comfort stat
gotcha thanks
If you are on PS4/5
The gearset refresh button gets a little ps4 triangle on it
Just press triangle
I was thinking to do determination and piety for healing power+mp regen but not sure. Does that seem ok?
if you feel you need more piety, then feel free to meld it
but if you feel you're doing fine as is, there's no point in melding more
They matters, but they don't drastically swing your playstyle
Does anybody know the exact number of dungeon runs it takes to max out the "Born again" step for HW relics?
you mean the anima light farm?
It varies because some dungeons can randomly be selected as a bonus.
yes
21xA9S if you want, open PF, make sure you use your weapon all the time and finish it under <1 min each run
dont do dungeons
Yeah, Why not just A9S
yeah do an a9s train
I'm soloing it for the moment, I don't see any on PF
Make one
Spamming Brayflox hard
Why
if Brayflox I reckon around 40+ times
That's not "too" bad
How many people do you need to run A9S?
not that many now if you are max level
I'm level 80
what would be a decent way of getting a lot of fire shards on free trial? preferably a whole truck of them
if 8 people, around 45 secs to finish, last time I tried 4 people, around 1:44 min each
yeah, you don't need a lot of people for this
Eh, can't hurt I'll try PF
meet <2 mins mark then it's fast enough
whats the best place to level from 70-90?
so that the party can transition straight into the final stretch
bozjan/dungeon/trust your choice
oh? trusts are good?
probably he's talking about the 15 pneumite
it costs 4k gc seals each, only need 60k seals
30 mins each run, but you skip queue
Didn't I already use pneumite for something earlier?
nope
