dense pier
#

Okay so just to make sure, if I want to level up my crafters I'm going to need to make collectibles. Looks like they use standard materials right?

Does HQ materials affect collectability?

pure copper
twilit arch
#

HQ mats do increase starting collectability

dense pier
#

Hrm

limber hound
#

lv60s need allied(?) seals

twilit arch
#

no

#

allied are lvl50 currency

#

60 is centurio seals

limber hound
#

Centurio then

#

And lv50 gear takes those green tokens from lv50 dungeons that sometimes appear

pure copper
#

oh if it's just ARR/HW hunts, lol ez

visual knoll
#

how do i unlock the mor dhona fishing leaves? i don't seem to have them

urban grotto
#

is there a guide for leveling crafters?

pure copper
visual knoll
#

mb level 45 for fishing levels

dense pier
#

Oh I almost forgot.

You can also do GC turn-ins for a massive amount of exp.

Did mining/botanist turn-in get buffed because you can't get HQ basic mats anymore?

#

Looks like it

urban grotto
#

is there a guide for leveling crafters?

warped echo
#

I got all crafters to max level 80 last expansion in like a couple days

urban grotto
#

ok, thanks

boreal storm
#

Leves/restoration/GC turn in

urban grotto
#

gc?

boreal storm
#

Grand company

rotund spruce
#

is droprate different for the orchestrion rolls in ew dungeons if you do them with trusts?

twilit arch
#

no

warped echo
#

seems like i'm missing 5 triple triad npcs. anyone know how many npcs are locked behind beast tribes? i think i only have 4 beast tribes maxed out, the rest untouched

warm snow
#

There's like 4 locked behind eureka

warped echo
#

got those

ruby plover
#

hi guys, my friend is new and needs to buy lvl 50 gear for the castrum meridianum dungeon. Hes on free trial so cant use market board, where can he get lvl 50 accessories?

warped echo
#

maybe i just need to go through a whole list, cause i got some cards from just killing bosses

craggy tinsel
rotund spruce
craggy tinsel
#

they'll be marked with a blue bag near the aetherytes

rotund spruce
#

you can put in what cards you have and itll auto-calculate which npcs youve definitely fought

ruby plover
#

he hasnt finished praetorium yet

craggy tinsel
#

oh, right

rotund spruce
#

did your friend do recruit-a-friend?

ruby plover
#

nope

craggy tinsel
#

in that case, check if he's gotten his level 45 gear from his job quest

ruby plover
#

he got armour but no accessories

west parrot
#

does getting partial credit for an S or A rank hunt still count towards the count for the hunt achievements?

craggy tinsel
#

You may want to run him through another dungeon then... what's his ilvl?

rotund spruce
#

darn. if you can find a way to get those rewards, RAF rewards 10 silver chocobo feathers, which can be exchanged for an augmented ionworks weapon and armor piece even before finishing base ARR

#

idk what the time limitation on RAF is but might be able to swing it (oh also idk if it requires paying for the game itself)

craggy tinsel
#

what ilvls are his accessories, top to bottom? What ilvl is his weapon?

boreal storm
#

Just do your job quests

craggy tinsel
#

they need new accessories wtf

twilit arch
#

accessories under 50 don't really matter

#

left side and weapon are far far more important

boreal storm
#

have they got their i90 gear tho?

ruby plover
#

lmao

#

well i think he is above ilvl 45 now

rotund spruce
#

maybe check out the accessory vendors? if its a matter of improving ilvl for a dungeon theres almost definitely upgrades there

ruby plover
#

thanks guys

#

hes ilvl 51 now

ruby plover
twilit arch
#

For him, at this point in time the accessories are w/e

#

he'll get better from post ARR msq

#

and can use the poetics he gets from prae/castrum for the ironworks weapon

rotund spruce
#

ironworks stuff will be available soon too

#

huge boost

ruby plover
plush quartz
#

If you are relocating an FC house does the gil have to be on you or can it come from the FC bank?

twilit arch
#

has to be on the person doing the relocation

plush quartz
#

Okay so in order to have multiple people "attempting" to relocate during the ishgard housing rush they'd all have to be funded.

#

Right?

#

Multiple FC members

twilit arch
#

yes

fickle locust
#

You can only get 450 tomes of astro a week right?

twilit arch
#

they'd all need to have funds on them to do it

#

Yes, 450 is the weekly cap

fickle locust
#

Not even enough to buy 1 piece of armor, wow

urban grotto
#

where is isghardian restoration again?

pure copper
urban grotto
#

thanks!

fleet steppe
#

Is hagakure really important to have on your hotbar?

jovial quarry
#

It helps keep your oGCDs aligned. You'll ideally use it once every minute to keep things flowing.

graceful sail
#

Can you get the whisper a go mount or was that an event exclusive?

jovial quarry
#

Event exclusive. No word on if/when it'll get another rerun.

fleet steppe
jovial quarry
#

Yeah, otherwise your oGCD timers get funky and your burst windows get messed up.

visual knoll
#

Anyone? How do i unlock the 45 leave quests

#

for fishing

zealous agate
#

If I put something in the Glamour Dresser will it remove it's dyes?

jovial quarry
#

No, the dye stays.

#

sorry it was I who was the fool

arctic flame
#

Do heals like Adlo refresh the current shield on them?

#

So if I cast adlo, the shield goes to 50%, and I cast adlo again, does the shield just delete that 50% and overwrite it with a new 100% shield

unless Im doing smth wrong is it difficult to limbo the tank HP in ShB dungeons

dense pier
#

Is it quicker to regen GP by sitting idle or by auto-gathering a node?

boreal storm

Cordial

#

does the astronomy reward from khloe let me go over the 450 cap?

boreal storm
#

No

stray cape
#

Ok so I'm lvl 48 and I can't access the next msq till lvl 49 but the only area I know of to grind lvls atm is only 45ish quest wise is there anyplace I can get to and quest at that would give better exp?

boreal storm
#

Roulettes/ aurum vale

craggy tinsel
#

so I have a macro set up for Dragon Sight:

/micon "Dragon Sight"
/merror off
/targetpc
/ac "Dragon Sight"
/targetlastenemy

with the intention of not having to target someone in my party, and to have it do that for me.

I have a few issues with it, and I'm not quite sure how I can fix it:

  1. it feels like I have to hit it a couple times for it to go off
  2. I can't use it just on myself if nobody is nearby

How can I work around these with a macro?

woeful hill
#

unless Im doing smth wrong is it difficult to limbo the tank HP in ShB dungeons as a SCH

stray cape
polar pulsar
#

Does anyone know if theres a quick way to run dungeons for glamour, or is the only way to run it by syncing to its level and running it normally?

river vortex
#

do i have to accept hunts at the board to get the rewards? Or should i just go and kill it whenever someone calls it?

zealous agate
#

Do I have to have a free company before I can get retainers?

#

The Quest isnt showing up for them in my city

twilit arch
#

no, retainers aren't tied to free companies

twilit arch
#

you get access to them once you complete a certain lv 17 main scenario quest, but you can't be on the free trial to access them

zealous agate
polar pulsar
#

@ripe hound How would i go about doing that?

zealous agate
zealous agate
twilit arch
#

if you have a sub, you're not free trial

#

then you need to just talk to the retainer vocate in any major city to hire a retainer

zealous agate
#

Okay Ill find that!

proven sparrow
#

if i'm already on pc and wanna play on ps4 for when i work out do i have to pay for full endwalker or is there a cheaper license i can get

sacred lintel
#

anyone have extra complete edition cd key for sell? i have a friend wanna join the game, but they stop selling the game right now. please help

proven sparrow
#

oh right, can i even buy a ps4 license rn even if i'm on pc?

tall raven
#

is anyone getting the weird question marks when you try to login

proven sparrow
#

yes, that's intended rn

tall raven
#

OMG this 576 queue

proven sparrow
#

i wish my servers had a queue that small rn lmao

gaunt fable
#

stormblood spoilers ||is yotsuyu smoking opium? ||

urban grotto
#

how do I carve the rest of these items?

honest anvil
#

does aetherial manipulation bypass AoE?

#

like, if there’s a big insta ded puddle between me and person i’m warping to, will i die?

proven sparrow
#

believe so.

#

e9s no more than 2 players could be on a single tile, and AM would count you as standing on that square

honest anvil
#

that’s a different situation

proven sparrow
#

sorry, i mean you'd count as standing on all the tiles you warp through

#

so same situation

honest anvil
#

but say e9s, the centre sq is ded zone, can i for example at S warp to N?

proven sparrow
#

you still count as standing on, and moving through all the tiles in between you and your target, so still assuming death

urban grotto
#

where do I get stuff to craft from ishgardian restoration?

proven sparrow
#

mostly diadem

urban grotto
#

like where would I find skybuilder yew log?

proven sparrow
#

in the diadem

#

anything with skybuilder in the name should be diadem

urban grotto
#

alright say I wanted some of the stuff thats higher level to get, do I need to increase my level?

proven sparrow
#

lv/gear

cursive ridge
#

gear stats is your main way of increasing gathering chance but you also get a -5% penalty for each level difference between you and the item you collect

urban grotto
#

well I was told that crafting this stuff would be a good way to level up my crafting

#

but i wasn't told I'd have to farm this stuff myself

#

clearly I'm missing something

cursive ridge
#

where did you think the mats would come from

#

it's either get them yourself or spend tons of money buying them

urban grotto
#

i wouldn't have an issue with it exceeeeept there aren't any noticeable recipes for the basic stuff I find

I got 90k'd, then 2002'ed... now this... What do I even do? I've closed the launcher numerous times, and even restarted my laptop to no avail.

steep egret
#

the message kinda speaks for itself, connection issue

#

you could try the quick launcher

hidden lotus
#

Where do I find that?

steep egret
#

!faq xivlauncher

zinc orbitBOT
hidden lotus
#

ooh

steep egret
#

if that doesn't work, then the issue isn't the launcher, its your connection to Square's servers

hidden lotus
#

D:<

urban grotto
#

where can I find recipies for skybuilder stuff?

steep egret
#

you could try rebooting your router

#

but if its an issue with your internet provider, not much we can do to help

hidden lotus
#

I may have to, because now my web pages are timing out, too

steep egret
#

ah, ok yeah you have an internet issue then

hidden lotus
#

ffffffffffffuck. I was at the start of a double run of Delubrum... UUGH.

#

And it took over an hour to get in the game at all, naturally..

humble epoch
urban grotto
#

is skybuilders yew log still available to find?

cursive ridge
#

if it's not Grade 4, it is likely unavailable

#

they should have really removed 1-3 stage recipes from the crafting log but they didn't for some reason

#

i guess it's for those five people who still have the mats and want to craft and turn them in

urban grotto
#

sooo I can't craft anything from the stuff I find in the diadem??

cursive ridge
#

you can

#

all diadem stuff is grade 4

urban grotto
#

i'm like level 21 and the only things I can craft are plywood

#

on carpenter I mean

#

aaaand I can't even find the materials.

cursive ridge
#

there should be recipes for low level grade 4, look in the ishgard(4) section of the crafting log

urban grotto
#

isghard crafting log section?

cold quest
#

So coming from WoW, is it the same when it comes to endgame where it's raiding only?

cursive ridge
#

ishgard(1)-(3) are outdated

#

yea

#

in the special tab

wanton phoenix
#

What do most folks use Allagan Tomestone of Poetics on?

#

Not interested in Relics

cursive ridge
surreal dove
#

Hey quick question, how do I unlock the warrior quest, I'm a level 30 marauder and I've done all the marauder quests and I've looked up online that the guild master is supposed to give you the warrior quest, but for some reason he won't give the quest, is there anything I'm not meeting requirement-wise?

cursive ridge
#

gear for alt jobs

river vortex
#

can you only get the "adventurer in need" bonus if its the first time you run the roulette that day? Or can you run on one job, then swap to the one in need to get the other one?

urban grotto
#

I do not see the special isghard 4 crafting tab, where exactly is it?

cursive ridge
#

adventurer in need is infinitely repeatable

river vortex
#

really? i did not expect that

urban grotto
#

oh, thanks!

cursive ridge
cold quest
#

Yea but if I have no interest in gear farming for jobs what else is there? At least that it involves optimizing my current job at cap

surreal dove
#

Oh ok

cold quest
#

At the very best, I'll invest in SAM, NIN, and DRK but that's about it.

flint lance
#

why are you limiting yourself?

cold quest
#

Other jobs don't interest me

flint lance
#

you have to try them before you jump to that conclusion

vast hinge
#

the endgame is basically raiding only if you're not into any of the more role-playing oriented stuff

#

as for raiding, it depends how far you want to optimize

#

or if you just want to clear

cold quest
#

I'm good, thanks. Ranged DPS doesn't suit me and neither does healer

flint lance
#

savage will take weeks or months to clear

vast hinge
#

that also depends on your group

flint lance
#

My fc is doing savage the new one

#

they still not cleared the first one yet...]

#

i aint touching that thing with a pole xD

raven bolt
#

Is there a piano only version of Flow like the one that pplays when ||Hermes is asking Meteion about the distant planets after the dungeon ||

vast hinge
#

if you mean orchestrion roll to my knowledge know

#

but if you want to install the porch plugin

#

you can just play it whenever

cursive ridge
#

isn't that the basic version of flow?

cold quest
#

I invested a lot of time in M+ back in WoW so I'm learning the ropes of how things work in FF14

vast hinge
#

I've played WoW only during crusade/cataclysm

flint lance
vast hinge
#

but compared to all other MMOs I've played, I'd say FF raiding is average to slightly below average in terms of difficulty

flint lance
#

I know mythics can be compared to savage

#

Then there is ultimate raid

steep egret
#

as someone who likees to play everything at least to try it
FF14 is wayyyyy more inviting than Wow ever was
i had probably a dozen alts back in the WotLK days
dont think ill bother making an alt in FF14, at least until ive basically done everything on first char

vast hinge
#

my statement was basically referencing highest possible difficulty in any game

cold quest
#

Are Savage raids those 24 man raid?

vast hinge
#

no

#

they're all 8

cold quest
#

Ohh

#

Must be alliance I'm thinking of

steep egret
#

savage are 8 mans, 24 are alliance raids

vast hinge
#

there is 1 unique content that is up to 48 that is kind of hard

cold quest
#

Ah

vast hinge
#

anything else with 24 players is meant to be super casual/easy

cold quest
#

Err 48?

cursive ridge
#

it's loosely organized

vast hinge
#

24 I'm an idiot

#

I was thinking incorrectly

cursive ridge
#

think of those as special FATEs

cold quest
#

Lol

cursive ridge
#

the 48/56 man ones

cold quest
#

Really having fun with this game,

flint lance
#

What is the highest wep ilevel rn?

vast hinge
#

605

flint lance
#

damnnn

#

is that through savage ?

vast hinge
#

yes

#

or augmented tomes, which is really suboptimal

#

but right now augmented tomes is savage only, so yeah

flint lance
#

so you have to earn the tomes then get it?

#

it does not drop?

vast hinge
#

there's always 2 sets of gear that compete for highest ilevel: savage drops and augmented tome gear

#

to augment your tome gear, you need a drop from savage

flint lance
#

ah

vast hinge
#

the last point will change every odd number patch, e.g. 5.1

#

I haven't been playing that long, but I've never seen augmented tome weapon be BiS

#

it's almost always the savage weapon until the final relic stage for the expansion is out

#

then it's that

flint lance
#

oh so they wont release all the stages for relic in one go?

#

nooooooooooo

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I get this

steel canopy
leaden ginkgo
#

I have no idea

vast hinge
#

yes it is

#

just follow this quest chain

cursive ridge
#

you can get the regular version for 140 centurio seals

#

which is 10 ilvl higher and dyable

#

centurio vendor in ishgard inn

leaden ginkgo
#

I don’t know how to get centurio seals

cursive ridge
#

you have to do centurio hunts

#

unlocked in the ishgard inn if you've already unlocked ARR hunts at your grand company

dense pier
#

I asked earlier but didn't get an answer.

What's a faster way to regain GP. Is it standing idle, or whacking on any node with auto-gather?

steel canopy
#

And if your follow up question is what are centurio hunts, do the blue quests at the ishgard inn

dense pier
#

I don't want to use a cordial for 70 GP

#

I want to know what's quicker, idle or whacking a node

flint lance
steel canopy
#

It takes forever anyway for GP regen

oak quarry
#

equally slow imo, but standing around is less effort

dense pier
steel canopy
#

So yeah, level miner/collector you want, get some accesories so you don't run out as fast, bring a bag of cordials for when you do

cursive ridge
#

whacking regen doesnt get improved as much with passives

flint lance
#

but thats all

dense pier
#

kk

flint lance
#

you have to use cordials or go idle

oak quarry
#

get more gp friend

cursive ridge
#

whacking speed depends on your latency

flint lance
#

or have better accesories

oak quarry
#

i hope you have gp accessories on

flint lance
#

urban grotto
#

how do I get stuff approved for isghardian restoration?

#

does item quality impact desynthesis?

#

Determination is better than direct hit rate?

flint lance
#

repear is mostly crit, det,dh

#

Question

#

I've been subscribed for 60 days

#

but I don't know where to get the advent children outfit

cursive ridge
#

if you're eligible for stuff you get it mailed to you

urban grotto
#

think I got the hang of isghardian restoration, thanks everyone!

dense pier
#

Wait

#

When did they make separate white scrips

#

1 for gatherers and 1 for crafters?

#

or was that always a thing and I never noticed?

#

I have so many white scrips from gatherering and idk what to do with them because I have a ton of collectibles to throw in right now

cursive ridge
#

buy legendary books

#

current ones especially require a buunch of whites

dense pier
#

I can't find them at radz

#

legendary books for gathering

cursive ridge
#

Splendors Vendor

#

should be third from the entrance

dense pier
#

those require trader's tokens lol

cursive ridge
#

you buy tokens with scrips

dense pier
#

yeah

#

but is there nothing else?

#

Also were crafters/gatherers white scrips always separated?

cursive ridge
#

legendary books for other expansions

#

far as i know yes

#

get gear for retainers or 9 materia then

dense pier
#

Damn, you weren't lying

#

100white scrips for a single token, need 16 tokens

ripe hound
#

Unrestricted means unsync

exotic ridge
#

I havent cleared P2S, if I go into P3S do I lose my chance to get loot from P2S?

exotic ridge
#

alright tyty

polar pulsar
#

@ripe hound thank you!

ripe hound
#

ayyy

dense pier
#

okay so I am unsure what to do here.

Should I level up by spamming craft collectibles or do I go to the fermament and grind out with restoration?

#

But if I do that then I won't have scrips to get crafter gear at 80 then

#

Is making high-collectible gear no more difficult than high-quality 100%?

If you "max out" trusts can you take them in level 90 dungeons?

cursive ridge

only msq dungeons

#

How do you farm aetherite tickets?

remote lintel
#

hunts

cursive ridge
#

you do blue mage carnival weekly

#

and turn those allied seals into tickets

#

that's about 120 tickets a week

turbid marsh
#

Is there a website that has relatively up to date rotations for lvls 50/60/70 etc? I only really need it for specific jobs but if it had one for all of em that'd be nice as well

open ember
#

How long would it take for 99 leve allowances to be reset

#

A month??

queen fern
#

99/6 = 16.5 days.

river vortex
#

any way to turn leves into gil this time?

queen fern
#

Since they generally lowered the gil rewards while jacking up the amount of stuff you have to hand in.

urban grotto
#

is there a way to have macros repeat themselves on loop while crafting?

cursive ridge
#

use autoclicker

urban grotto
#

autoclicker?

cursive ridge
#

an external program that clicks stuff for you. generally not allowed but eh

urban grotto
#

hmm

naive ridge
open ember
unkempt hinge
#

Best way to level gatherers 80-90?

naive ridge
#

leves

#

or just straight gathering if you need a bunch of materials for crafting anyways

unkempt hinge
naive ridge
#

for fishing i'd recommend farming the fish that you can reduce into moonlight aethersand

queen fern
#

Yeah, straight gathering with the EXP boosters on levels you just fine.

#

Collectibles speed it up considerably.

naive ridge
#

leves are in old sharlayan

queen fern
#

Handing in a maxed out collectible will give you a million EXP easily.

unkempt hinge
#

Alright thanks ^^

queen fern
#

With decent gear, you can easily get 2 or 3 1000 collectability items for as much EXP as a leve in a fraction of the time.

#

The main caveat is keeping up with the spawn timers.

urban grotto
#

omg I gained like 12 levels doing ishgard restoration stuff, totally paid off! thanks everyone who helped!

shut panther
#

is there a guide somewhere to the fastest way to get squadrons done to the point you can rank up your GC?

naive ridge
#

i think its pretty much

#

do the training regimen

#

3 times a day

#

and send them out on the highest level squadron mission you can

pure copper
#

yea

#

if you want, plan a day or two in advance of how you wanna train them

naive ridge
#

theres command missions to but idk how good the exp is there

sly vessel
#

Wanna ask if endwalker is up for sale now?

#

Oof okay

command missions for squad xp kinda sucks, but it's nice for leveling up dps classes i guess

naive ridge

they will do an announcement when it is

pure copper

just a worse version of trusts

#

savage raids made the queues go up again

frosty badger

Are there any exclusive rewards from finishing the studium?

naive ridge
#

i think theres a minion?

#

when you complete the final quest

#

after finishing all of them

#

a Golden Dhyata

#

if you mean just the expansion

#

Yeah just the expansion

frosty badger

frosty badger
#

Do you have it?

No worries. It's all I need to buy anyways

can bojzan clusters drop from fate mobs?

Do gathering leves not have quick gather buttons? D:

welp good thing I got a quick burst button lol

urban grotto
#

best way to level up gatherers?

queen yoke
#

why did they make expert roulette give 60 and 40 lvl 90 tomestones when selecting all the duties in expert roulette gives you 80 and 50? lol

dense pier
#

For the meme?

slate arrow
#

That's 60 and 40 on top of the standard 80 and 50 roulette reward

cursive ridge
#

expert roulette is essentially there to make sure the last lvl90 msq dungeon still has people queueing

#

since it's not part of leveling roulette

is there a better way to level up gatherers?

#

for anyone that uses Mch do u ever use flamethrower? or is it a really useless skill?

urban grotto
#

thanks

warped nest
#

It's good for AOE

cursive ridge
#

bioblaster > autocrossbow > flamethrower > spread shot

warped nest
#

Flamethrower is unusual in that it's dot tick every second

#

Instead of 3s

#

!action flamethrower

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Flamethrower** : lvl 70 MCH (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers damage over time to all enemies in a cone before you.
Potency: 80
Duration: 10s
Effect ends upon using another action or moving (including facing a different direction).
Cancels auto-attack upon execution.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.

warped nest
#

So it is 800 potency over 10s

#

So, about 200 per GCD

#

!action spreadshot

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Spread Shot** : lvl 18 MCH (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 140 to all enemies in a cone before you.
Additional Effect: Increases Heat Gauge by 5

tough plinth
#

huh cause i know i been told just to just not use it its very bad the bioblaster for the win etc etc. mostly due cause u always have to move due to mobs aoe while ur using it

but just wanted to make sure

remote lintel
#

what

limber hound
remote lintel
#

the tank has to stop somewhere

spread shot has that upgrade, but I forgot the name

not found what?

#

scattergun

remote lintel
#

all aoes are useful

tough plinth
#

thanks folks

#

oh scattergun just makes the potency of it go up by 10

cursive ridge
#

and makes it look way more badass, a freaking pump action shotgun

limber hound
#

no hop/10

tough plinth
#

cool cant wait to see it

warped nest
#

I don't think XIV has any useless skills now

#

At worst, you have highly situational skills

naive ridge
#

scathe .__.

cursive ridge
#

SMN's Physick

naive ridge
#

or did that change lol

#

i havent touched blm

fiery tapir
#

Scathe is still scathe

warped nest
#

Scathe is the bottom of the barrel movement spell

#

Fair point with SMN physick though

tough plinth
#

so it still has some use just... very rare to use scathe huh?

cursive ridge
#

Physick has absolutely no use in level cap content

tough plinth
#

wonder why they kept physick

warped nest
tough plinth
#

ah.. ok then

warped nest
#

If you have done the fight over and over again, you should learn how to shift your spells around

#

To avoid using scathe

remote lintel
limber hound
naive ridge
solemn jewel
#

Not even that, smn doesn't have the right stat to use physick effectively

cursive ridge
#

is it really bad to spend Meikyo charge on Yukikaze? should i be trying to always spend one of the charges on Gekko/Kashaing a Higanbana?

naive ridge
#

like as long as you're not moving too far

tough plinth
#

happy they kept resurrection at least

limber hound
#

Then again I dunno how much the fairy can do

lethal mist
#

Where to hide hotbar numbers and can you hide the arrows that cycle through hotbars which appears on the first one?

warped nest
#

This is assuming the case where you need to keep moving for multiple GCD

warped nest
#

For example, back to back AOE in P2S

cursive ridge
#

and the button below

lethal mist
#

Thanks a lot!

warped nest
#

And assumptions is made that you run out of all your other options: triple cast, Xeno gloss, Firestarter, thundercloud

#

Scathe is the absolute bottom of the barrel spell, but it does serve a purpose

tough plinth
#

think i leave black mage to the pros..

cursive ridge
#

i guess the question is, is 5 kenki worth 90 potency loss

limber hound
#

but then how will you be pro yourself

warped nest
#

Probably not

tough plinth
#

i shall pro summoner and reaper i guess mr bread

remote lintel
#

black mage isnt even that much harder

tough plinth
#

eh i guess just dont really enjoy it per say cerberus?

cursive ridge
#

actually... if you spend that kenki on kaiten midare it's worth 82.5 potency

#

so it's a minor loss to spend meikyo charge on yukikaze

#

but not worth worrying a lot about

dense pier
#

Oof. Collectible gathering is so much quicker/easier to level than collectible crafting

queen yoke
leaden ginkgo
#

How does FFLogs DPS ranking work?

naive ridge
#

one is all time, the other is based on the past two week i believe

leaden ginkgo
#

The raids (Savage) haven't been out for 2 weeks though, so wouldn't they be the same?

naive ridge
#

i got not clue .___. thats what i was told

#

probably better of asking in the balance discord

#

they should be able to answer it better

do you sell the materias or?

I'm still in post HW so I might be missing some use of tier 4 materia?

modest igloo
steep egret
#

tier 3 is needed for some ARR relic step

covert marlin
steep egret

which you can't buy from vendors, which keeps their prices up

pure copper
#

DoH/DoL have their own arti weapons i think?

modest igloo
modest igloo
#

but i've seen a few get used for overmelding later

#

check your MB there may be a demand for a certain type or two

covert marlin

they're mostly selling for around 260~ each

#

wouldn't gil be better in terms of profit $_$

modest igloo
#

theres doman restoration if you have the full game, where you can sell stuff for 2x the gil every week

covert marlin
#

market price or vendor price?

modest igloo
#

vendor

#

it's available after 4.2 msq so not too far away

covert marlin

I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

oh my thats really sad for me, then what about the coffers and loots? i did not manage to obtain any of it during the first clear

so can i rerun to get the coffers/ tomestones?

i am aware that it is also 1 item/coffer per week

tropic flame

yeah you can rerun to get the items

do they remove the limit next patch

true jolt
hot eagle
#

yeah for savage you only have 1 chance

true jolt
#

Iirc back on shb you cant run savage infinitely until you can get loot you want

If you dont get anything on that week clear, thats it. Just book for that week until reset

hot eagle
#

!faq savageloot

zinc orbitBOT
#
What floors of savage drop which items?

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

tropic flame
#

OhNo this is kinda wack

storm galleon
#

oh my, which means i cannot do another run just to roll for the loot

#

for this week

#

😭

true jolt
storm galleon
#

generally my luck in rolling loot is very bad and i usually need to go extra mile to farm all books just to get the loot. The same happened to me for E10S to E12S

#

i am not sure why, but i guess it is what it is. I'll pray my my luck will be better next week and i'll be sure to clear inventory this time

toxic aspen
#

are the materials you get from gemstones in endwalker stil profitable?

tropic flame
#

yes

#

best to check your server MB for what sells the most rn

warm snow
#

Why wouldn't they be?

toxic aspen
#

how do i check that by going to checking each material seperately?

#

nice grammar me

unkempt hinge
#

As a level 85 gatherer, is it still viable to do the lower 80s leves? Or should I always just go for the 3 highest?

ember magnet
#

can anyone explain how the rest of endwalker will go gear, ilevels, and raid-wise? When can I expect the next set of savages, will they have high ilvs, eg 610+?

warm snow
#

Next savage cap will be 630

#

Current cap is 600

ember magnet
#

isn't the weapon 605?

warm snow
#

Next savage will be 6.2

#

When 6.2 is is a complete crapshoot

warm snow
ember magnet
#

so we have now and 6.1 to gear up and slowly clear this set of savages?

warm snow
#

So for all intents and purposes it's 600

ember magnet
#

6.1 is just a new set of raids or?

warm snow
#

6.1 is catchup

ember magnet
#

?

warm snow
#

We get savage raids and cap increases in even numbered patches

#

We get catchup mechs for ilevel in odd number patches

#

Via new extremes and alliance raids

ember magnet
#

how do catchups work?

vast hinge
#

catch up will enable even casual players to get gear 10 ilevels below max

warm snow
#

They offer higher level gear

chrome agate
#

Can I use this channel for asking about technical advice? Having some problems with the game running

warm snow
#

That doesn't require savage

ember magnet
#

current max is 600, so catchup patch will be ilv590 gear?

chrome agate
#

Aight

warm snow
#

Yes

ember magnet
#

but isn't astronomy already ilv590?

vast hinge
#

it comes in the form of:
-crafting gear being augmentable
-tome augmentation material can be acquired outside of savage
-alliance raid dropping 590

warm snow
#

Catchup patch also allows augmenting of limited tome gear

warm snow
ember magnet
#

and what would drop the augmentation material? alliance raids?

vast hinge
#

yes

warm snow
#

Basically

vast hinge
#

by the end of an odd patch

#

you can get max ilevel without ever having touched savage. it will still be a bit worse than BiS due to substat distribution

#

but like yeah

ember magnet
#

will there be gear lockouts?

vast hinge
#

yes

warm snow
#

One piece of alliance raid gear a week

vast hinge
#

you can get 1 augmentation token from alliance raid a week also

ember magnet
#

so I can't no life gear my subclasses then

warm snow
#

One tome augment token a week

ember magnet
#

what about extremes?

vast hinge
#

basically irrelevant past the .0 expansion

warm snow
#

It'll be 5 levels below augmented tome gear

ember magnet
#

so the extremes will drop 595?

#

the new extremes?

warm snow
#

So the best weapon if you don't do 7 weeks of normal raids for the tome weapon

#

Extreme

#

Singular

vast hinge
#

they only drop weapons though

#

and nothing else

warm snow
#

You only get one extreme per major numbered patch

#

And they only drop weapons

ember magnet
#

so armor still needs to either be crafted + augmented, or astronomy for ilv590?

cold moat
#

Are daily roulettes still worth doing for xp at levels 70+?

warm snow
#

Yes

vast hinge
#

for the last patch of an expansion, relic will overtake all weapons as BiS

warm snow
vast hinge
#

but that's not until basically the very end

warm snow
#

It depends on what you want to do

ember magnet
#

oh yea, why 7 weeks of savage for weapon, don't you need 8?

ember magnet
warm snow
#

I said normal

vast hinge
#

you can do them right now

#

with just crafted gear

#

they're designed to be done at that ilevel

warm snow
#

7 weeks of normal raids for a tome weapon

ember magnet
#

wait huh?

warm snow
#

Every clear of p4 normal drops a sword

vast hinge
#

this savage tier is meant to be cleared with i580

ember magnet
warm snow
#

Limited tome

#

It's always 7 weeks of normal raids for the limited tome weapon

ember magnet
#

normal raids drops tomes?

#

or are we talking about 6.1 stuff

warm snow
#

ALL level 90 content drop tomes

#

Have you looked at anything that you got for doing normal raids yet?

vast hinge
#

the use of the word tome here is misleading

#

there's astronomy tomes

ember magnet
#

im really confused now

vast hinge
#

and there's a token you get

#

which you need 7 of

#

along with astronomy tomes

#

to buy the weapon

warm snow
#

To get the astronomy tome weapon

#

The limited tome weapon

ember magnet
#

so you can't just buy the astronomy tome weapons, you also need to clear 7 weeks of normal raids?

vast hinge
#

yes

warm snow
#

Exactly

#

You would have seen this if you'd checked the vendor

ember magnet
#

vendor just shows a discal tomestone

#

that's needed

warm snow
#

And have you checked the vendor for the discal tomestone?

ember magnet
#

i don't even know which vendor is that from

warm snow
#

The pandemonium normal vendor

ember magnet
#

okay i get it now

#

is it a thing to rely solely on savage drops to gear one character and use astronomy for the other?

warm snow
#

If you want

sick flint
#

can you register new accounts in the offical launcher?

warm snow
#

No

#

No new ff14 accounts can be created at present

#

At all

#

@ember magnet your bis will ALWAYS be a mix of augmented tome gear and raid gesr

#

And the savage raids drop tome augment materials

ember magnet
#

ok

azure finch
#

Does anyone know what is the maximum concurrent users per world currently? I understand it used to be 5k when the game launches

warm snow
#

So you don't really want to do that, but you have MONTHS to gear alts not to mention extra raid gear if you clear fast enough

prime plover
#

How do I use the glamour dresser and armoire? What's the difference really?

warm snow
#

Armoire only let's you store specific items

prime plover
#

Can you cast glamour from either?

warm snow
#

Yes

solemn jewel
#

You can access the armoire items via the glam dresser

#

Armoire just saves u glam dresser spots. Seasonal event items, achievement awards and other specific stuff can go into the armoire

As if breaking its own concurrent record on Steam and completely selling out of digital copies of the game wasn’t enough, Final Fantasy XIV has made headlines again as it pushes forward release dates on player capacity updates for the game.  All over the world, players are anxious to get back online and experience

tall mountain
barren granite
#

ya the wording is odd in that section

warm snow
#

That's also from July

ember magnet
#

usually how many months is it to the next patch?

barren granite
#

yes it is saying that for the EW rlse, they plan to up the simultaneous logins by 18k

warm snow
#

Dev time is hurt since they contributed testing servers to help manage the severe load

#

And 6.1 is gonna be a fucking monster patch

#

Since its also set to include island sanctuary

ember magnet
#

nah i'm just looking for some historical data

digital lake
#

Island sanctuary, alliance raid, new housing

ember magnet
#

don't care if its not a good representation

modest igloo
ember magnet
#

okay thanks

warm snow
#

Just remember that likely means nothing to endwaljer

ember magnet
#

well, it tells me that its at least 4 months, most likely more

#

next set of normal raids will be with 6.2?

modest igloo
#

ye

warm snow
#

And savage

ember magnet
#

then what about the savages?

#

same time release?

warm snow
#

Savage comes with normal after the first tier

#

First tier is delayed cuz it's with a full expansion launch

modest igloo
#

same time same day for 6.2 savage raids

ember magnet
#

what sort of gear does the normal drop?

#

if savage caps at 630

modest igloo
#

normal will drop 610

#

add 30 to the ilvls for the gearsets out now and you have the calcs for 6.2

#

crafted 610, tomestone 620, savage 630

ember magnet
#

crafted gear released at the same time as well?

modest igloo
#

yep

#

everything all at once

#

for raiding at least

warm snow
#

Basically everything in 6.01 and 6.05 at once

#

Oh yeah we're due DSU in 6.1 too

#

So yeah it'll be a while

modest igloo
#

6.1 will have ultimate, island sanctuary, new msq, allaince raid, and new ex

Or is it that roll system?

hot eagle
reef quiver
#

Do you only need a single map for a full team of 8?

#

Or does everyone need a map?

hot eagle
#

theoretical only one but ppl often make it so that everyone brings a few of them since rare loot isn't guaranteed the same with the portal/dungeon it's also not guaranteed to spawn

#

and ppl use different loot rules some groups/parties use ffa or owner need rest greed etc.

hello everyone. I'm new to FF14 and still playing in the trial version. Last night I've decided that I want to stay and change my trial account to a subscription (I also bought the Shadowbringers addon and have the key right here). Two major problems so far:

  1. When I try to redeem the Shadowbringers code in the mog station, it says "invalid code", which is probably a result of my account still being trial and "inactive"
  2. When I try to "Purchase Full Version" in the mog station, I get a "Error -24201" message proclaiming that due to maintenance the site cannot be accessed

So my questions are if there really is maintenance or if this is part of the "we stopped sales"-shenanigans that is going on since Endwalker launch and if there is another way to transform my trial account into a subscription account.

thank you in advance!

Stopped sales

No trial upgrades

Keep an eye on gaming news, this is still big enough that most places will report when sales reopen

Well glam is the true endgame

Outside of how much budget the team gets, yoshi p has full control

#

what's DoH/DoL gear equivalent to shire's gear for HW?

warm snow
#

He's on the board now

Now, getting specific items for a glam can be grindy

open smelt
#

ahhhhh

modest igloo
warm snow
#

But in terms of bis gear at endgame

open smelt
#

so kinda like legendary items of gw2

warm snow
#

Not grindy, but difficult

#

You have to clear savage raids for bis gear

#

And that shits HARD

oak quarry
#

i’ve run the 4.1 dungeon maybe 20 times now looking for a very specific piece and i still have not gotten it

warm snow
#

Fun, but hard

open smelt
#

oh ok. yea i'd take that any day of the week over tedious grinding lol

warm snow
#

Might even find a dyable version

modest igloo
#

ffxiv would rather you do the fun fights for gear rather than grind all day for it

warm snow
faint flare
#

Gear is just a means to an end to just get into content

digital lake
#

Depending on patch, you need to do either ex trials or complete endgame relic as well for BiS

oak quarry
warm snow
oak quarry
#

it’s fine, at least the dungeon is pretty comfy to run

open smelt
#

what's BiS gear btw?

warm snow
#

Best in slot

#

Current best gear for your job

#

Ofc this will change when new content eventually releases

#

But current bis gear will be pretty much static til 6.2

open smelt
#

OH

warm snow
#

Which is a waaaaaaay away

#

no I'm not counting the ultimate weapon leave me alone

faint flare
quasi cairn
#

so before registrations were closed, i accidently bought ffxiv on a different steam account than the one i used to make my ffxiv trial account
if i use that steam account when redeeming my registration code on mogstation will everything be fine?

# open smelt i see. is gear grind not that grindy compared to wow? only got to lv 49 back the...

When doing content at the level cap of old expansions(50/60/70/80) you'll get a currency called "allagan tomestones of poetics" , once you finish the base expansion you can buy gear that's at the level cap of that expansion. This will make the patches easier and will last til level x4/x5 of the next expansion once you get there. This keeps gearing nice and braindead til CURRENT endgame

#

If I'm trying to level a job quickly and spam dungeons, I won't have enough poetics to even get the full left side. Is the only other way to buy the weaker crafted gear on the market?

warm snow
#

@open smelt so that should cover you for gearing for quite some time

warm snow
ember magnet
#

Leveling a tank though, will I be tanky enough?

warm snow
#

Depends on the content

#

A run of msq roulette should give you 500 poetics minimum

open smelt
warm snow
#

Also make sure you're doing your job quests

#

They'll give a coffer of a full set of armor at the end of each expac as well

ember magnet
#

How good is that armor compared to market/poetics

warm snow
#

It's af armor

#

So the equivalent of 560 armor rn

#

It'll get you through x.0

thorn thicket
#

At least this time they put it in a such a spot that it’s literally impossible for anyone to miss

faint flare
#

Yet they do

thorn thicket
#

.... if they’re that blind, please just uninstall the game

#

Maybe reconsider your hobbies and/or go get an optician

warm snow
#

I've had at least 3 cases of missing it so far in this very chat

digital lake
#

cutscene skippers most likely

thorn thicket
#

You literally can’t skip that cutscene

digital lake
#

the NPC isn't exactly marked as "job gear seller" so its easy to miss

#

if you dont pay attention

limber hound
digital lake
#

only the one where you stand around no? The one before and after is skippable i think

jade quartz
#

The game goes so far out of its way to make it the most obvious it’s ever been

#

System message too

thorn thicket
#

^

jade quartz
#

There’s really no good excuse for missing it

digital lake
#

As i said, if you dont pay attention and are just trying to rush the msq

jade quartz
#

Except having an out of body experience during the explanation

limber hound
#

The only way to make it more obvious is to make obtaining the gear itself mandatory

warm snow
#

That's not a good excuse

#

Horses and water anyways

warm snow
thorn thicket
#

Because stories’ done. Move on

jade quartz
#

Whynojobquest has a time delay between you seeing that message and then reaching high enough level to accept the next quest

#

By which time you can easily forget

#

But this one is right in your face

thorn thicket
#

And most of them wrapped up in Stormblood, making the level 80 ones in Shadowbringers super forced and hamfisted

gilded forge
#

Am I unable to run the level 90 dungeon with a trust after I've completed it once?

faint flare
#

Level them up or use scenario mode

gilded forge
#

It doesn't show up in the selectable ones in Duty though

thorn thicket
faint flare
#

Only the story 90 is trustable

#

Cause only story stuff is in there

gilded forge
#

Yeah I'm in the trust menu, and the one at the bottom is the trial, the one above it is the 89

gilded forge
limber hound
#

I dunno, it's appearing on my end

gilded forge
#

I didn't beat the after-trial, if that would make a difference?

faint flare
#

Finish the story

gilded forge
#

Gotcha

limber hound
#

yeah that's what I was suspecting

gilded forge
#

Many thanks

I've been playing the game for a few hours, I got to the point where I join a grand company and for some reason the game just isnt grabbing me. I dont know why, i feel like the game has too much content and I'm kinda choice paralyzed, what are some tips you could give me on how to enjoy the game better or how to tackle the content piece by piece

round arch
#

||i got the strats down for the first savage raid. one thing though. sometimes they want me (offtank) that i swap to take dmg down at the crystals. are swaps mandatory or are there strats without me taking dmg down as ot ?||

limber hound

#

What's the point of Eureka? Is it just for glam?

faint flare

Stormblood relic

round arch
delicate field
#

Ah ok. So glam lol

round arch
#

||i should swap at 2nd crystal phase before the last crystal cracks but i did this several times without swap and it worked, so i was confused||

mortal aurora
#

@limber hound I'm trying to slog through the msq but none of it is really grabbing me, like I just skip most of the dialogue because I just have no attachment to any of these characters lol

#

Does it get any better?

jade quartz
gilded forge
limber hound
#

But you're in the first 15% or so of it

#

maybe even 10%

round arch
gilded forge
#

Does anybody know where I could find a repo of all the area splash art in a decent resolution?

limber hound
#

You either quit in ARR, or you sink far enough to make it to the end of EW RinkoDed

plush pebble
#

it's like giving out heroine

jade quartz
#

What I said is that the damage down is avoidable

#

Swapping is what accomplishes that

round arch
#

yeah swapping is needed

jade quartz
#

You have to react to the crystal layout.

round arch
#

but he said i should swap with his platform

#

because he ended up on mine

jade quartz
#

Swapping is only needed on a certain configuration of crystals

#

Only the MT and one dps neighbouring them need to swap

#

In that case

chrome hull
#

Hello anyone know why i can't run the game ?

round arch
#

i start south and if top and bottom are same color i go north and then back south. i was OT.

#

i grabbed the fire, stayed in the middle and go back to south. this is what i usually do

warm snow
faint flare
#

Top and bottom can never be the same for set 2

round arch
#

oh. i thought i had 3 ice or so

faint flare
#

Yours did

#

But top had fire for set two

#

So you would top for set 2

#

Then south again

round arch
#

with top you mean ... ?

faint flare
#

North

round arch
#

yeah. i go north.

#

then wait in the middle.

#

then go back south

#

and he wanted me to swap for the last crystal (2nd crystal phase) always
