questions-and-help

[warm snow]

because of this all jobs are reasonably well played

there's an overabundance of reapers and sages right now cuz new

but it'll all even out over the next couple years

monk and smn are also up in usage cuz they got sizable reworks

especially smn

[quaint locust]

does bozjan clusters only drop if you kill actual clusters of legions? Like you cant just kill one at a time?

[warm snow]

it's random for each garlean magitek you kill

so more at once is faster

[blissful tinsel]

Are the plain white weapons from PotD?

[quaint locust]

I hear the rank 3 legions are 50% cluster drop rate but i guess im just unlucky then

[twilit arch]

pajdali @blissful tinsel

[warm snow]

that's kinda hard to say, but I'd say DNC is piss simple whereas AST is quite complex

that's probably where I'd put the high low points

[blissful tinsel]

Idk what that is.

[warm snow]

but optimizing most jobs gets quite complex regardless

[warm snow]

potd, yes

Potd has 2 weapons

!iglam kinna war scythe

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

[warm snow]

!iglam kinna sickle

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No Glamour image found, Kupo!

[warm snow]

gdi

[twilit arch]

what's the name of the white weapon from potd

[warm snow]

padjali

kinna is the second one

[twilit arch]

kinna is the red

[warm snow]

both are from potd, I was just trying to pull an example of the second type

[blissful tinsel]

So, wait, the plain white weapons for every job don't all come from PotD?

[warm snow]

they do

unless you're mixing them up with the new P4S weapons

cuz those are also pure white

[blissful tinsel]

The aether weapons, I think they're called.

[pure copper]

can u change your running expression

[blissful tinsel]

Nope.

[pure copper]

😦 damn

[twilit arch]

aetherpool weapons that are white are called padjali

[warm snow]

!iglam padjali knuckles

[zinc orbit]

**Padjali Knuckles** **:** Pugilist's Arm

Required Level

60

Dyable?

No

[twilit arch]

wheen you request to keep your aetherarms

[warm snow]

!iglam kinna claws

[zinc orbit]

**Kinna Claws** **:** Pugilist's Arm

Required Level

60

Dyable?

No

[warm snow]

these are the second type of potd weapon

[tight plinth]

oooo is there a bow version of that?

[warm snow]

!iglam kinna longbow

[remote lintel]

yes its for every class

[zinc orbit]

**Kinna Longbow** **:** Archer's Arm

Required Level

60

Dyable?

No

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[warm snow]

there's kinna and padjali weapons for EVERY job

[blissful tinsel]

Yeah, I don't want the red ones. The pure white bow is what I'm looking for.

[warm snow]

that's potd

need to clear 50 to get it tho

[blissful tinsel]

Ah, okay.

[warm snow]

afterwards you can convert your aetherpool levels (10 armor and 10 weapon) to an "aetherpool grip"

3 grips = padjali weapon

padjali weapon + 6 grips = kinna weapon

for taking outside of potd

you need to clear 100 to take kinna weapons outside

[spice imp]

is this talking about zenos or someone else?

[warm snow]

could be any legatus tbf

I don't think so

actually I don't think he was a legatus

so probably no

no wait he was

of the 12th

[remote lintel]

pretty sure its a different one

[exotic ingot]

Is pentamelded 580 gear usually better than 600 gear?

[faint flare]

No

[warm snow]

legatus we know: gaius, quintus, basch, regula, nael, valens

[twilit arch]

it doesn't really make sense for it to be zenos

[remote lintel]

and noah

[warm snow]

vergilia?

[twilit arch]

most likely regula tbh

[warm snow]

one sec let me check when it was added

[twilit arch]

heavensward

it drops from the aery

[warm snow]

yeah, probably regula

[remote lintel]

hes the only one with normal people hobbies

[warm snow]

it can edge out some 590 gear depending on the substats and jobs but that's the absolute limit

[shrewd kiln]

how well do qiqirn scale post 80?

[warm snow]

GARBAGE

they nerfed all doh/dol exp from 80 or below once you're above 80

each quest literally only gives you 1k

[dense pier]

Damn lol

That's rough

[warm snow]

dwarves are the same

[shrewd kiln]

ouch, I had to finish grinding the rep level, now it seems there's no other benefit

[warm snow]

leve exp inflations was pretty bad, especially with triple turn in quests. probably wanted to stop people pre doing a shit ton of leves for ew launch

[shrewd kiln]

what do you generally do for exp if collectible deliveries are maxed out? leves?

[warm snow]

collectables don't max out

only custom deliveries

and there's plenty of collectables outside that

[shrewd kiln]

yeah I meant those, is there a point in trying for other collectables when you're sub 90?

[warm snow]

ofc

it's white scrips and THICC exp

[shrewd kiln]

thanks, I pretty much just fish for the fishing log and am trying to figure out doh now

[hard hazel]

if i want to join a FC it need to be on the same server chaos for me and also spriggan or only chaos is good?

[warm snow]

server

chaos is a data center

[hard hazel]

so it need to be on spriggan?

[warm snow]

yes

[hard hazel]

ok thx

[warm snow]

you can't transfer server atm afaik

[hidden cypress]

what command do i need to put in a macro to place earthly star without the range showing up?

[remote lintel]

you mean the ground target?

[patent citrus]

<t>

[remote lintel]

<t> for target or <1> to put it on you

[hidden cypress]

like can i just make it place where my mouse currently is

[twilit arch]

no

[hidden cypress]

oh ok

[twilit arch]

even if you make it a mouseover macro, you still need a target to place it on the ground

so easier to just honestly make it either a target macro or under yourself

that said, they changed earthly star's radius so its fucking huge

[hidden cypress]

ill probably just keep it how it is normally

if i place it in the middle it usually covers whole trial/boss arena

[strange coral]

There's a setting now that lets you just double tap your key for it and it'll put it where your mouse is. The second tap basically replaces the click you would normally do.

[tardy tendon]

do you guys know what to do with poetics?

[sudden dock]

was running CLL, can someone explain why someone was complaining about not have a <12 ppl?

[regal pawn]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[sleek needle]

you get a massive echo the fewer people you are

[patent citrus]

anything below 24 is fine if you are relying on echo

I reckon that person got the number wrong

but yeah quality over quantity

[warm snow]

if you have 2 people who know what they're doing they can clear CLL, the stupid strong echo is pretty fun

[queen fern]

Put it this way, getting a maxed out collectable gives you 1 million+ EXP when turned in.

With decent gear, you can usually get at least two.

For about 2 minutes of work.

[shrewd kiln]

what ilvl we talking?

[queen fern]

For up to about Level 85, the Landsaint Set will get you through it.

[sudden dock]

where could i find ppl who would be willing to help clear?

[warm snow]

you can shout and ask people to join

[queen fern]

After that, I just upgraded my main hand to the Bismuth Pickaxe/Hatchet and then the Manganese Pickaxe/Hatchet for the rest of my leveling.

[warm snow]

12 people is also plenty

[woeful drift]

am I supposed to only group with people of similar elemental level in Eureka?

[shrewd kiln]

I'm on aesthete regular mended, so I think that should take me about the same way or slightly less?

[patent citrus]

yeah, I think around 3-5 level range would be nice

and finish challenge log together

but for FATE, no level restriction

[queen fern]

Should be about the same, honestly. Aesthete isn't that far behind Landsaint.

[woeful drift]

is it even woth participating on something 5-8+ NMs higher?

[patent citrus]

rank 1 and 25 can party together and both can get exp and poetics from Notorious Monster

yeah, It's worthed if you could manage to arrive at the fate location

[woeful drift]

oh nice

[tardy tangle]

can I upgrade to the complete edition if I already have a Free Trial account?

[patent citrus]

if not, you might be dead on the way and will have to wait till they finished NM to ask for res

[warm snow]

not right now

[halcyon knoll]

if I change my job when I join a pvp match, which job gets the exp?

[patent citrus]

the job you enter with

[warm snow]

werll, hypothetically if you had a code

but no one reputable is selling codes

[sudden dock]

does having higher resistance rank do anything to help with clearing CLL?

[warm snow]

no

[faint flare]

Other than having valors and better actions

So no but yes

[warm snow]

no valors til you finish the entire bozja story anyways

[dense pier]

How do I know if I have one of these?

[patent citrus]

you might have to join specific Eureka/Bozjan type of discord

and ask for CLL clear there

[keen mantle]

Are all buffs typically lined up after 3rd GCD?

[patent citrus]

in Crystal there's one that held once a week

[keen mantle]

Like If i'm doing a tinctureless opener on red mage should I put Fleche and Contre earlier instead of Embolden and Mana?

[shadow needle]

does anyone knows / remember the macro for these, which are assigned to each party member? ik its smth like /ac "action" <t> but a where does the number go for each party member? ~ i reseted my pc disc so it reseted my ffxiv settings and macros

[boreal storm]

You can’t rebuy ones you’ve already used, also just look at your crafting log

[warm snow]

<1>

2 3 etc

[patent citrus]

<0> is you

below you in PF is <1> , then so on

[shadow needle]

ohh so /ac "action" <1>?

[warm snow]

yes

[shadow needle]

ty ty

[woeful drift]

can any mob from the right PH spawn an NM in Eureka or is it hyperspecific like FFXI? lol

[patent citrus]

specific

hmm I might misunderstood your question however

but you can use this tracker if you want to spawn NM https://ffxiv-eureka.com/

[warm snow]

specific monsters spawn specific nms

not one specific monster but one type

like kill slimes to spawn king slime

guess which JRPG series I like

[shrewd kiln]

dq

[warm snow]

the best jiggle physics in the game!

[woeful drift]

right, ya FFXI was bad where you just kill like 3 of some mob in one spot instead of the whole 30 around of the same name

[warm snow]

that's basically how eureka works

[lavish vortex]

hi!!! i just activated my pc licence for the game, but its only up to heavensward... how can i play with my endwalker character from ps5 on pc? do i have to but only endwalker? or Stormblood and Shadowbringers too?

[autumn needle]

Is POTD still worth playing? Thinking of leveling 1-60 that way instead of another fate grind

[warm snow]

but there's more than 3 in one spot

[leaden ginkgo]

the job you enter in. but be sure to set any hotbars at the wolves den before going in

[warm snow]

you need endwalker for PC realistically

you can't log in on pc in endwalker zones

and I don't think you can log in as reaper or sage

[lavish vortex]

only endwalker? no need to buy stormblood and shadowbringers?

[warm snow]

and you won't gain exp above 60 while playing on pc

[remote lintel]

they come with EW

[warm snow]

endwalker includes all previous dlc

it's also the only one they actually sell

[lavish vortex]

oohhh ok, ill get that then, is it available for purchase?

[remote lintel]

yes

[lavish vortex]

nice, thanks!

[warm snow]

they're only ever selling <BASE GAME> and <CURRENT EXPANSION>

to make it harder for customers to fuck themselves

[wintry trellis]

hi there, how do you farm those new blue tomestones after you have done all dayli stuff?

[warm snow]

any level 90 content

[remote lintel]

hunt trains

[warm snow]

well that's not really "farming" cuz you're reliant on 24hr timers and other people

[remote lintel]

six 24 hour timers

one for each world

[wintry trellis]

ill see if i can manage to join one, so you say the 90 dungeons are the best way or something else? since i need those tomestone to get gearn to do the raid and extremes

[remote lintel]

spamming the last 2 90 dungeons give the most

you could also just buy gear

[clear kayak]

where can i get ff14 right now lul

my friends want me to start playing

[twilit arch]

no where

[remote lintel]

you cant

[clear kayak]

but they halted sale

[warm snow]

you can't

[clear kayak]

rip

[twilit arch]

Starter edition and complete edition have both been halted

[clear kayak]

aiite, thanks guys

[remote lintel]

also the blue tomes wont get you enough ilvl to start raiding

[clear kayak]

lul fk me

[remote lintel]

you need the astro tomes

[warm snow]

that's the unfortunate situation

[wintry trellis]

dont i need only 565 to start the raid?

[warm snow]

the producer wants the best possible experience for the customers they have

[wintry trellis]

and those blue ones give me 570

[remote lintel]

oh you mean the normal mode raids

[wintry trellis]

how much for the savage ones?

[warm snow]

570 will get you into P1S

[hot lily]

hey so my buddy bought ff14 for ps5 but when he trys to log in it wont work and he has no cd to register on mog station bc its ps5 digital can he not play bc they just suspended sales??? be did buy it though

[warm snow]

you'll need 580 for P4S

[wintry trellis]

good to know, thanks

[faint flare]

Endwalker itself won't Do anything

You need starter edition

[warm snow]

which isn't for sale

anywhere reputable

[hot lily]

he bought collecters eddition

[faint flare]

You can't use dlc for a game you don't own

[warm snow]

that's just a prettier version of the dlc

[hot lily]

on ps5

[warm snow]

you want COMPLETE not COLLECTOR

[faint flare]

Endwalker collectors is the same thing

It's not the whole game

[warm snow]

and that's not for sale either

[faint flare]

It's just dlc

[hot lily]

lol he just bought the dlcs? lol rip

[remote lintel]

collectors edition is just the dlc + digital items

not the base game

[warm snow]

this would have been written in the store

so that's on him

[remote lintel]

it is written in the store

[hot lily]

were both new i bought like 2 months ago didnt know about the suspended sales till alittle while ago

[faint flare]

Reading is hard

[warm snow]

it's been suspended what, just under a month at this point?

sorry but your friend is SOL

but hey he'll get a nice mount when he starts the game and unlocks mounts

[hot lily]

sucks to suck i guess at least he'll have all the expansions for when the sale resume again

[fallow saffron]

3 weeks now. Started one week after I got the trial. >.<

[warm snow]

this is a big enough story that it'll be in most gaming news so patience is a virtue for now

[hot lily]

mhm mhm ill just tell my buddy hes sol untill then

[tacit jungle]

I hope home world transfer comes back with the sales too

[hot lily]

i can still play tho XD

[tacit jungle]

I have friends I want to move over to play with

[warm snow]

since both are most likely reliant on the acquisition of new hardware that's likely

[plain aurora]

Hey, so I have RDM to level 70 now, any idea why I have Verflare but not Verholy? Is it tied to quests?

[warm snow]

have you checked that thing under your msq tracker?

[slate arrow]

yes

verholy is a capstone

a stupid one

[plain aurora]

Huh, thought they stopped doing that. Alright, thanks.

[slate arrow]

but a capstone nonetheless

[warm snow]

fucking awkward one

[warm snow]

they don't

and won't

[slate arrow]

nah nah RPR and SGE have em too at 80

but otherwise correct

[plain aurora]

It just told me I would unlock it at 70 when I got my expanded mana bar.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warm snow]

it said it came at, not that you got it at 70

[spice imp]

how do i get my wep all sparkly like this? (new weapon drop)

[warm snow]

lol

clear the hardest raid in the game

[slate arrow]

do ultimate raids

[round arch]

when is the best time to activate tank stance as ot when we do savage 1 for example ?

[slate arrow]

after your first burst

/opener

[warm snow]

after your opener

[spice imp]

oh does it drop a sparkly dye?

or something?

[warm snow]

it gives tokens for super fancy weapons

[slate arrow]

no you purchase it like a raid weapon

[warm snow]

that's not a dye

[round arch]

ok. understood. tyvm!

[warm snow]

that's a reused weapon skeleton with a super fancy skin

ultimates give those

[remote lintel]

its a separate weapon

[warm snow]

!iglam deathbringer ultima

[zinc orbit]

**Deathbringer Ultima** **:** Dark Knight's Arm

Dyable?

No

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[warm snow]

is the best one

[spice imp]

ah

[warm snow]

the raids just give weapon skins for glamour and a title for bragging rights

[dense pier]

Any way to amass hi-cordial without white scrips?

[slate arrow]

no

[dense pier]

aaaaaaaa

[warm snow]

get lucky at scratch cards at the diadem for a stupid length of time

white scrips are ofc faster

[dense pier]

Using those to try and get books atm

[short magnet]

hiii

[gaunt fable]

can i disable the annoying bgm from the mount?

[dense pier]

Yes

Sound options I think

[gaunt fable]

tyvm i was getting tired of listening to ||heavensward bgm all the time||

[dense pier]

PoTD made me hate my mount's music

and it's not fair

[full nimbus]

when a big targetting icon with a number pops up over an enemy, what does that mean?

like when you're in a dungeon or pvp

[jovial quarry]

Someone in your party marked them and generally wants you to target them in the order shown

[narrow jay]

it means someone has asked you to prioritise that enemy

[full nimbus]

is there* a* button you can click to auto target that enemy?

[faint flare]

No

No one really makes enemies these days

Cause you should just be aoeing or hitting the boss

Or the important add that spawned

[full nimbus]

but what about in pvp?

[faint flare]

Then they'll use it...these a countdown macro thing that uses them to countdown for bursting a guy

[full nimbus]

so i can make a macro to target a marked enemy?

[faint flare]

No

[rich gazelle]

Has there been any changes to Castrum or something to increae the likelyhood of getting that over Prae?
I've just ogtten it 10/14 days

[faint flare]

No

[delicate field]

is Baldesion Arsenal pretty hard?

[faint flare]

Mechanically no

But you have limited raising

So you can't fuck up

[delicate field]

oh, like how many times

[faint flare]

You can't raise at all

[remote lintel]

however many raises you bring

[faint flare]

Outside of spirit of remember proc, healer lb and Sacrifices

[delicate field]

that's punishing

[faint flare]

That's kinda the point

[boreal storm]

Just don’t die lol

[delicate field]

so other than BA and DRS, does any other content restrict raisses?

[faint flare]

No

[delicate field]

oh ok good

[faint flare]

They only restrict raising due to the number of people

[clear kayak]

🤔

[faint flare]

Cause you have likr

16 healers

Or something

[delicate field]

oh yeah good call... that's a lot of raising even with restrctions

[remote lintel]

idk how it is in BA but depending what items you bring even dps and tanks can raise in DRS

[faint flare]

BA have harsher raising since you can only raise others by Sacrifice

[delicate field]

sacrifice of antoher person's hp??

[faint flare]

Which means praying for their spirit proc to realise them

Yes they kill themselves

To raise

[delicate field]

so it's like saying, you're better than me so you play?

[faint flare]

No

[tame ether]

Regarding the inability to make a new account. If I find a sealed copy of the started edition in the wild, will that code be honored?

[remote lintel]

you could kill yourself to rezz a healer to lb3

[faint flare]

Everyone uses a skill to give them a 80% chance to reraise on death

And you rely on that mostly

[delicate field]

oh ok just like reraiser in bozja

makes sense

[remote lintel]

depends whos selling

[slate arrow]

if its a non-redeemed code, yes

[stray dune]

Advice needed. Over the last two days I've gotten all of my crafters and gatherers up to 20 minimum. I'm now starting on Ishgard Restoration. Should I level my gatherers first? Does gathering in Diadem provide crafting mats for Ishgard?

[faint flare]

It does

[patent citrus]

yeah, a good plan

[faint flare]

That's the point of the diadem

[patent citrus]

can level FSH too there, the Fish can be desynthesised to MIN/BOT materials

[stray dune]

Solid. That was my assumption but I walked in, had to talk to 12 dudes promptly surrounded by 60 people crafting and got overwhelmed lol

[stray dune]

Good to know. Thanks

[inland quarry]

when free trial players get to HW does their main menue to change to the old HW one? or does it stay the same as the ARR one?

[leaden meadow]

Is there some recommended gear sheet? Like what's the best for x lvl when going through story & how to obtain them / if they're worth the hassle? I also heard I shouldn't bother with material until endgame since my gear will change pretry often, I'm lvl 46 rn and there seem to be lvl 50 gear that put my actual stuff to shame (even the class gear I obtained through quest)

[woeful drift]

do you still get chance at drops if im 10 ilvls underleveled of a Eureka NM?

[tall mountain]

iirc it stays at ARR until you upgrade, at which point it goes EW

[arctic valve]

Trying to play on ps5, I bought endwalker on the psn store, logged in to my square enix ID and I get this screen

[remote lintel]

you didnt buy the base game

[tall mountain]

Endwalker is the expansion, not the game

[arctic valve]

I can't find how to buy that on the ps5 store

[tall mountain]

You can't

[remote lintel]

they dont sell it

[tall mountain]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/e7388986bc24d5a1337e0beed057f7b5b78b9bb3

[arctic valve]

Seems silly

[inland quarry]

shame you can't keep it as the one you like permamently, only current expac

[remote lintel]

no it isnt

they stopped selling it because theres too many people

[tall mountain]

There really should be a way to only allow owners of the game to buy the expansion, but their reason for pulling sales of the base game is completely valid

[arctic valve]

So I wasted £37 😔

[gusty marlin]

Would anyone know the quickest way to get from 75 to 80? Been doing all my Dailies and running HOH level's 21-30 none-stop but i was wondering if there is something a little faster?

[arctic valve]

I have it all downloaded

[remote lintel]

you can buy the base game when they sell it again

you have EW downloaded

nothing else

[leaden meadow]

What gear should I pursue from lvl 45 onward? Still focus on MSQ given gear or is there something to farm at lvl 50? I'm playing black mage

[raw moss]

Yeah, they only temporarily stopped sales of the base game since the servers are so congested. They will open sales back up in a couple of weeks to my understanding

[gusty marlin]

I hope you mean them opening up new servers THEN testing them, THEN opening sales again xD

[raw moss]

Wishful thinking 🥲

[gusty marlin]

XD

[raw moss]

I have the game as a trial player already but I’ve been wanting to upgrade for a week now

[remote lintel]

@leaden meadow after you beat ARR buy ironworks gear using the poetics currency

you do this for every expansion afterwards except endwalker

[leaden meadow]

What's Ironworks? Sorry my game client isn't in English, is it from that area north of the map? You encounter some robots & garlemald people going there I believe

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

Gear name

[remote lintel]

its from a vendor in mor dhona

[leaden meadow]

I believe I'm in mor dhona rn and there are lvl 50 gear with way better stat than my lvl 45 gear but requires a currency I haven't seen yet, must be it

[remote lintel]

yes

called poetics

which you get at 50

[faint flare]

It literally has ironworks in the name

[gusty marlin]

Allagone Tomestones of Poetics if i recall correctly.

[faint flare]

You get poetics while doing castrum and praeotirum for the first time

And then any lv50/60/70/80 content

[leaden meadow]

My game isn't in english, you can read Ironworks but can't read when I litteraly said it earlier?

[gusty marlin]

Also if anyone would mind Pinging me about my earlier question if someone has a moment to help, That would be awesome, I just got in from Que so im going to keep at it 😄

[remote lintel]

@gusty marlin do dungeons

bozja

roulettes

[leaden meadow]

Thanks for the reply, this lvl 50 gear should be kept until which lever? Every 10 levels? I only have base game so 60 might be my max rn unless the 1st two expansions are given for free

[remote lintel]

HoH is meant for lvl 70 and below

[remote lintel]

5 levels

[gusty marlin]

Did that and it's pretty slow and i can't get to Bozja ATM and every guide has WAY too much information confusing me really badly lol.

Is there a nice simple Bozja Guide around here by chance?

[quick sage]

Heh guys

[remote lintel]

if you completed 5.1 and the stormblood alliance raids then you can unlock bozja

[quick sage]

What does “c41” mean on pf

[remote lintel]

also dungeons are literally the fastest ways to level in the game besides roulettes

[faint flare]

Clear 4 1

[quick sage]

What?

[faint flare]

Clear

For

[remote lintel]

i havent tried HoH but after 70 i imagine the exp is garbage

[quick sage]

Ahhh

[gusty marlin]

Right now i have the first dungeon in Shadowbringers, IS doing that over and over really the fastest way currently O_o?

[remote lintel]

no

you would do the lvl 73 one

[gusty marlin]

Based on my calculations, So far HOH is the fastes XP for me currently.

[remote lintel]

no wait if youre 75 then its the 75 one

[gusty marlin]

But ill get up to the level 73 DG and see if it's any better.

Or that lol

[faint flare]

Hoh xp significantly dies at 70+

[remote lintel]

how are you lvl 75 and you dont have the dungeons

[faint flare]

Like literally non existant

[gusty marlin]

I mean i got 5 levels in two days doing it only for maybe 2 hours a day so

so 5 LEvels in 4 hours

[remote lintel]

i got 10 levels in 2 days just by doing bozja and thats not even faster than dungeons

[shadow relic]

what is bozja?

[remote lintel]

shb content

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers relic zone

[gusty marlin]

Hmm... Okay. Now are we talkign the level 75 DG with Trust, Que, Or Group?

[remote lintel]

trusts only if your queue sucks

[faint flare]

Like 15mins+

[raw moss]

I can unlock AST as soon as I finish ARR right?

[remote lintel]

no

you need to be in ishgard

[gusty marlin]

Crud... i wonder if i would be 80 already to do the Nier Content...

[warm snow]

Well yes but actually no

[remote lintel]

you said you dont even have the lvl 71+ shb dungeons?

so im assuming youre not doing msq?

so...why

you cant do nier without msq

[shadow relic]

how do i do the relic stuff?

[warm snow]

You need to finish the arr patches and get into ishgard to get ast

[warm snow]

Depends on the relic

[gusty marlin]

No iam doing MSQ which is how i got to the first DG

[raw moss]

Alright, so it’s not at level 50 then right

[shadow relic]

do i have to start with arr or can i do any of them?

[remote lintel]

then why are you trying to grind to 80

instead of doing msq

which gives the most exp

[gusty marlin]

But now i need to keep doing MSQ to get to the level 75DG, Run that till the next Dungeon and so forth i assume

[warm snow]

You'll have to finish ShB to start the raids and you have to be 80 to do that

[remote lintel]

no

dude

you do msq to level to 80

[gusty marlin]

Oh crud....

[warm snow]

literally EVERYTHING in the game is locked behind msq

[remote lintel]

the methods we were giving you were for after you already beat shb

[gusty marlin]

Well alright o, o

[warm snow]

Final fantasy game first, mmo second

[gusty marlin]

Ohhh gotchya

[warm snow]

That's the design philosophy

[remote lintel]

if this is your first class then msq exp trumps everything else

[warm snow]

Straight from the producer and devs

[gusty marlin]

YEah i only just started SHB up to the first DG but still great info to have for later jobs, The reason i was not fully working on MSQ is because i don't want my wife to fall behind and play catchup.

So this is why i was looking for alternative methods of leveling.

[remote lintel]

you can't unlock nier until you beat shb anyways

[warm snow]

You can ng+ and replay the story with her

[gusty marlin]

Well... The best alternatives. And yes i know this now.

[remote lintel]

that too

[gusty marlin]

Oddly enough i noticed that NG+ option yesterday but never looked into it.

[warm snow]

Replay the story, no rewards, just for story enjoyment

[remote lintel]

you dont get any rewards but you can redo all the quests and stuff

[gusty marlin]

Ahh gotchya

[warm snow]

So if you want to replay msq with a friend, partner etc. You can use that

[gusty marlin]

Hmmm okay.

Welp at least i know the best ways to level aside from Bozja since that's way too much information for me to prosses, Thank you everyone for the info!

[warm snow]

Bozja is also locked behind msq

[craggy tinsel]

can I change the color of my carbuncle on my summoner?

[remote lintel]

no

[craggy tinsel]

damn

[regal pawn]

Yes*

[warm snow]

And again, you won't be able to do the nier raids without finishing ShB regardless

[gusty marlin]

Right

[remote lintel]

you can??

[regal pawn]

/petmirage "Carbuncle" "Topaz/Emerald/Ruby Carbuncle"

[remote lintel]

excuse me

[regal pawn]

you can also turn it into the Egis

[jovial quarry]

Sort of yes. Sort of. Pet glamour still works. But you need to be level 50 to unlock it.

[regal pawn]

[remote lintel]

WHAT

[regal pawn]

you can also turn egis into carbies

the summon ones

but not the actual primals from 90

[raw moss]

Screenshotting that for when I do my summoner

That’s cool

[vestal magnet]

i'm currently in heavensward. do we ever go to the actual Abalathia's Spine in future content, or will it always just be the "Sea of Clouds"?

[warm snow]

Sea of clouds

[vestal magnet]

wack

[remote lintel]

i mean

we might post-endwalker

[gusty marlin]

Cerberus over here flipping out over something that i have seen EVERYWHERE XD!!!

[full nimbus]

if i am a dps, should i make my chocobo learn tank or healer skills?

[remote lintel]

ive only ever seen people use the blue carby

[remote lintel]

the tank tree sucks no matter what role you are

[gusty marlin]

Boom

[full nimbus]

so make him a healer?

[regal pawn]

healer until you get choco cure and choco regen
then max out dps
then max out healer

[warm snow]

It's a giant. Mountain range

[jovial quarry]

I normally see healer > dps > tank as the recommended order

[remote lintel]

amazing, i dont play smn at all so this has no use to me but im glad

[regal pawn]

funnily enough

the base carbuncle is bluer than the previous blue carbuncle

because the emerald carby is a wonky shade of green/blue

[full nimbus]

thanks

[gusty marlin]

I wonder how many shades of blue there is o, o

[regal pawn]

2

[gusty marlin]

OH okay xD

[regal pawn]

Emerald carby and normal carby

[wraith veldt]

hello. I accidentally hit some keybind to activate /lockon in the middle of a raid and I couldn't figure out how to deactivate it for a bit. anyone know how I can disable that feature? I couldn't find it in keybinds.

[gusty marlin]

Wonder if there is two shades of Ruby/Saph/Emerald 🤔

[warm snow]

I wish we could get alphys ivory carby

[warm snow]

There's not

[gusty marlin]

Awe....

[regal pawn]

this?

[craggy tinsel]

I love

thank you

[boreal storm]

Ivory?

[regal pawn]

Diamond you mean?

no wait, moonstone

[warm snow]

It's not diamond

[wraith veldt]

that might be it. thanks!

[warm snow]

Moonstone that was it

[full nimbus]

is grinding mobs the fastest way to lvl your chocobo companion?

[regal pawn]

Obsidian and Moonstone

[warm snow]

*only

[remote lintel]

i want to have tiny titan follow us

not the egi

the titan

[gusty marlin]

You can have Obsidian/Moonstone Carbys?!

[remote lintel]

no

only alphinaud gets those

[gusty marlin]

Awe....

[inland quarry]

|| ok im confused im probably a dumbass for not understanding but i thought hermes was the fandaniel that was with zenos but hermes is actually amon? did i miss something or am i a dumbass that doesn't get it? ||

To clarify one more point ||it's basically the same way we and Ardbert are sundered reincarnations of Azem||

[remote lintel]

[craggy tinsel]

[warm snow]

Enough shitposting

[inland quarry]

thank you kind sir

no longer lost I am

play the msq i can

don't know why mimicking yoda I am

[craggy tinsel]

become yoda for some reason you have

[toxic aspen]

What are some good ways to make gil?

[inland quarry]

sell cocain... idk if that's a valid option anymore i remember it was back in the day though

[boreal storm]

Carrot leve, play the market board

Sell people current grade materia

[remote lintel]

if you want actual, advanced methods then learn the patch cycles and whats newly added

newly added stuff will always sell for a ton, esp glam

if you have crafters then you can sell potions/food/materia/gear to raiders when raids drop

but otherwise its just finding a niche on the mb

[round arch]

i can chose a coffer. can i do something wrong here. savage 1

idk what to chose.

[remote lintel]

look at your bis

[round arch]

i have no idea what to look out for there. anyway, i got earring coffer 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a levelling guide?

i have an alt at 61 im trying to level and not sure if i just run dungeons by my level

[obsidian patio]

Dungeon spamming is the way to go for the most part

[leaden ginkgo]

okk

[obsidian patio]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

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

[leaden ginkgo]

61-75 hopefully i can do that in a day or so

probably 2 or 3

reading the guide

[round arch]

wait i got two coffers. can i open them or should i wait, idk how this works ? 😄

[obsidian patio]

Opening them gives gear relevant to the job you open them as

[leaden ginkgo]

so if im 61 do i want to be doing sirensong or the level 60 dungeons?

[obsidian patio]

So opening it as a tank gives tank gear

Sirensong

[round arch]

ah ok. understood.

[boreal storm]

61

[round arch]

guys can you help me understanding that screenshot in the ressource channel pls.

[boreal storm]

Cap dungeons will never give good exp

[round arch]

for drk.

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so basically just run the highest level dungeon available

[obsidian patio]

Which one? Post it here

[warm snow]

That's not 50/60/70/80

[boreal storm]

That’s not cap, yes

[craggy tinsel]

unless that dungeon ends in a 0

in which case run the level X9 dungeon

[round arch]

#277962421862268930 message

[leaden ginkgo]

okk

[round arch]

there are three screenshots.

[remote lintel]

those are bis sets

how do i unlock Artisan's File and stuff like that

[round arch]

yeah. i thought i need the bis sets.

sorry.

[remote lintel]

you pick one to use

[obsidian patio]

From your grand company at 2nd lieutenant or so

[craggy tinsel]

It's better to run Great Gubal Library (59) than it is to run Antitower (60), for example, or better to run Castrum Abania (69 (nice)) than it is to run Ghimlyt Dark (70)

I was running Mt Gulg (79) earlier, and it gave me roughly double the xp of Paglth'an (80), just as a personal comparison I can attest to

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait what

Why is Gubal better than Anti?

[craggy tinsel]

Level cap dungeons were never intended to give xp in the first place

they retroactively add in the xp after the fact, once the next expansion releases

[leaden ginkgo]

Sooo...?

[remote lintel]

lvl cap dungeons dont give much exp because theres no point

[craggy tinsel]

but they keep it lower, presumably so people don't overlevel during postpatch

[remote lintel]

its a level cap

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah, I see

[craggy tinsel]

i.e. when they do postpatch once the next expansion has released

[molten mortar]

How do you move the chatbox

[faint flare]

Drag the general tab

[fathom glacier]

ah thx

[molten mortar]

I tried drag on everything but that haha thank you!

Trying to get my buddy into the game and we want to be on the same world. Famfrit currently isn't allowing new characters but I also know it's peak time. Does that restriction change throughout the day?

[faint flare]

Yes

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[languid thistle]

Thanks vinyl

[queen flame]

so, i can't accept a quest unless im a conjurer. how do i go back to conjurer to accept it?

[faint flare]

Remove the white mage soulstone

[queen flame]

oh, silly me

thanks!

[errant swan]

Quick question about the Fashion Report. What sort of dyes do they usually demand? I've got some side-quests with the rewards being (what I think are) rare/hard to obtain dyes, and I've been saving them in case I ever need them for that.

[shut kelp]

ive got a keybind issue here, my confirm key is no longer letting me interact with objects, such as aetherytes and mining nodes an such

whats the deal here?

all it does is select it

[leaden meadow]

How do I access the daily roulette?

[faint flare]

Open the duty finder

It's the first page it opens by default each time you login

[leaden meadow]

There are 3 quests rn

[warm snow]

Different every time

[shut kelp]

fixed it

[leaden meadow]

Is it the best way to EXP? I need to reach lvl 49 & I'm 47, locked out of my next MSQ

[errant swan]

Thanks, I'll hold on to them then @warm snow

[faint flare]

Daily levelling roulette then highest level dungeon spam

[inland quarry]

|| is it just me or did the WOL unironically have a WET dream about hytholodaeus? ||

[faint flare]

Go unlock aurum vale in vesper bay

[craggy tinsel]

Does your retainer gain more xp from being better geared when sent on ventures?

[woeful prawn]

For the bird mounts does everyone get it if they drop?

[craggy tinsel]

or could I in theory just keep upgrading its weapon

[inland quarry]

as in HW mounts? no

[regal pawn]

no

[craggy tinsel]

All mount drops in coffers are something you roll on, just like any other reward

[regal pawn]

whoever rolls highest gets it

[woeful prawn]

Then I'll just solo

[craggy tinsel]

However, you cannot roll on it again once you obtain it once

[inland quarry]

correct me if im wrong but if everyone gets a mount it's an achievment reward not a drop

[craggy tinsel]

so someone can't just keep highrolling to steal it from others

[molten mortar]

Did they ever increase drop rates on older mounts like primal ones?

[boreal storm]

And even with like non unique Dungeons minions, Need>Greed

[boreal storm]

They increase the rates on current expansion EX mounts as the patches go by

[faint flare]

They're buffed when their mount is added into the Totem exchange

All trials except the endwalker ones have buffed rates from their launch

[boreal storm]

So stuff Pre-EW will stay just as they are

[round arch]

if i can chose between direct hit or tenacity materia for my darknight what should i go for ?

everything else on that piece is either max or not useful

[boreal storm]

Look at the balance, for stat priorities

[round arch]

ah yes. tyvm.

[wide ore]

Reallocate your Sharpened Anima weapon stats or you can't hand in the quest to Gerolt.
Buddy and I just skipped cutscene 3 times and nothing changed despite obtaining the quest rewards according to chatbox.

Of course, this only applies if the last time you allocated stats was before the Endwalker squish.

[full nimbus]

im looking at the msq chains and it seems like every expansions has 6 patches post release, is there a usual time cycle for those?

[faint flare]

3-4 months for major patches

[obsidian patio]

Your combat retainers gear as a whole need to meet the minimum item level needed to do hunting/highland ventures past a certain level, and potential loot from quick ventures is improved with higher ilvl

The most you need for maximum value from quick ventures is around i570 or so.

[craggy tinsel]

Noted

is it better to level by doing quick ventures or by doing the 18h ones?

[obsidian patio]

Quick whenever you’re online and can consistently do them

[craggy tinsel]

hmm, alright thanks

I guess I will keep that in mind for tomorrow 😅

Let's say I run out of ventures, where can they be obtained? I know beast tribe quests can give them (as that's how I have the ones I have), but what else?

[obsidian patio]

Grand company and the GC/Clan hunts

[craggy tinsel]

appreciate it, thanks again

[leaden ginkgo]

why does the Mog station look different now? also it wont let me renew sub on the site anymore it only gives me steam as an option?

[fathom glacier]

can you walk in this game on a keyboard

[craggy tinsel]

the game exists for PC, yes

[fathom glacier]

i want to walk instead of running, can you do that?

[honest anvil]

there’s a toogle keybind for that

check your keybind settings

[fathom glacier]

found it

its / on the numpad

[craggy tinsel]

oh that's what you meant

[frozen zodiac]

how do I show TT matches on the map?

[boreal storm]

Be in the zone

[frozen zodiac]

am in the zone

[boreal storm]

Then there’s no triad npcs, or you haven’t unlocked them yet

[frozen zodiac]

but there are and I have

[jade quartz]

Then look for the card icon.

You can’t disable them.

Many NPCs only offer TT after competing their relevant MSQ or sidequest chain

[leaden ginkgo]

can I resell items bought from the market board ?

[frozen zodiac]

unless you equip them

[viscid tangle]

In mog station there's a thing called NPC clothes.
What is this used for?

[frozen zodiac]

they're glams of npc cloths

[leaden ginkgo]

so once I equip them they turn in market prohibited ?

[frozen zodiac]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

ohdamn

k, thanks

[viscid tangle]

For example?

[frozen zodiac]

ward knight glams, aymeric armors

[green grail]

not straight up equip, but if you go into combat or start a craft while wearing it then it gets bound to you

[viscid tangle]

How do you unlock these NPC's ?

[green grail]

they're just characters from the story with their original outfits

[orchid forum]

Is there a particular reason to progress ShB role quests immediately? Compared to early game job quests at least

[green grail]

and you can get their "costume" on the cash shop and nowhere else ingame

[forest sage]

you will HAVE to finish the role quest to progress the MSQ at 79(or was it early 80 I forgot), but you don't have to do it right away

[frozen zodiac]

https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/category/3

[viscid tangle]

But which story unlocks the customizeable character ???

[forest sage]

once you're stuck with MSQ you can go back and do them all but it feels kinda bad so it's better if you do it a bit at a time as you progress

[viscid tangle]

And what are the npc names

[boreal storm]

That’s not...

[faint flare]

You can only customise custom delivery npcs

[green grail]

it's gear for players, not for non-playable characters

[boreal storm]

You dress up like the story NPC, and or get their hairstyle

[viscid tangle]

..... But where do I get the NPC's .......

I've done all of ARR

[primal ermine]

They appear in the story that's it.

[green grail]

they are characters in the story, you don't "get" them

[boreal storm]

Also there’s 4 expansions past ARR, you haven’t met certain people yet

[viscid tangle]

I'm aware

[forest sage]

there's a bunch of them in ARR

[leaden ginkgo]

going from 62-76 the level curve feels really steep, how long do you think it'll take to get there as tank?

[forest sage]

the Scions for ex, you can get glamours of them all iirc, or most of them

[viscid tangle]

So you don't get to keep the NPC's what's the point of NPC clothes then

[forest sage]

they're not NPC clothes

they're player clothes, in the shape of the NPC clothes

[faint flare]

They're clothes OF the npc that use them

[forest sage]

you can wear Minfillia clothes

[faint flare]

You use them on yourself

[forest sage]

and so on

[viscid tangle]

-facepalm- this isn't helping

[green grail]

1. you see minfilia in the story
2. you like the outfit
3. you buy "minfillia's attire" on the mogstation to wear it on your character

[viscid tangle]

on Mog station there is a section called NPC clothes.

Does that mean I can DRESS an NPC

Or

Does it mean I can dress LIKE and NPC?

[faint flare]

Latter

[boreal storm]

You get the clothes

[faint flare]

Like we have said multiple times

[frozen zodiac]

YOU can dress like an NPC

[boreal storm]

For your player character

[viscid tangle]

Ok

[leaden ginkgo]

so from 62 to 76

how long does that take

several days?

[green grail]

depends on how you level

probably a few hours of HoH

[leaden ginkgo]

im playing tank

[green grail]

if just roulettes then probably a couple days

[leaden ginkgo]

and was running dungeons

HoH?

[forest sage]

depends on how much you play too, probably about 7-8hours or so? but depends on how efficient, and if you have armory bonus(if it's your highest char)

[leaden ginkgo]

is faster than dungeons?

[frozen zodiac]

not specifically

[sharp arch]

On the trial version is there a certain world that's best wanted to try the game out but it says I can't wait in the que.

[cursive abyss]

Why is it that I have EXP Problems with this expansion alone?

[frozen zodiac]

no idea, I leveled to 90 twice before the level 87 msq

[primal ermine]

Heaven on high

[quiet acorn]

What voice type is "WAH" for female lalafell ?

[runic cosmos]

Can I solo any of the savage or extrme raids and get the weapons or only syncd?

[boreal storm]

Older ones

[runic cosmos]

Like bahamut ?

[green grail]

all the drops are the same unsynced

[forest sage]

considering it gives more xp than any MSQ before, it sounds like you didn't have rested like before, or you didn't level when MSQs released so you always had the boosted MSQ xp, but even then not sure how that happens with the dungeon xp buff they did, I guess just do a roulette or something

[quiet acorn]

Depends on the expansion , you can solo all the arr extremes if you don't know if something can be soloed, google it chances are someone already tried it on YouTube

[runic cosmos]

What about svg?

[forest sage]

some yes, some no

depends on the fight, and the class, and the skill(sometimes)

largely everything in ARR can be soloed, HW has a few things that can't, SB has few things that can, ShB not sure anything is soloable yet

some fights are outright impossible to solo due to how the mechanics work

[leaden ginkgo]

Are the eden quests in shadowbringers worth doing?

I’m short on time, trying to get to endwalker asap

[runic cosmos]

Ik warrior is good at it so I am leveling one bit for now I got a drk and blm at 90

[forest sage]

yes, but you could do them later I guess

[primal ermine]

They're are the raids so if raids are to your fancy sure.

[boreal storm]

We’ve only gone up 60 or so item levels from cryptlurker, SHB stuff is not soloable

[runic cosmos]

They are so fun

[leaden ginkgo]

Are they lore relevant

[forest sage]

they are more closely related to the MSQ than other raids usually

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah

[primal ermine]

They have some lore to them.

[faint flare]

They give more lore about shadowbringers stuff

[runic cosmos]

And the quest is very good Gaia is hilarious

[leaden ginkgo]

Can it be finished in a day

[forest sage]

like you wouldn't miss something from continuing on, but it does add a fair bit to the ShB MSQ

[faint flare]

And some Ascian information

[runic cosmos]

U need to be up to 5.3

[raven willow]

What kind of jewellery do I get for tanks? Like fending slaying aiming etc

[forest sage]

possibly if you have fast queue but it's a lot of raids

[faint flare]

Fending

You can only wear fending

[runic cosmos]

And yes the tank queue is usually insta

[leaden ginkgo]

I am

[forest sage]

in HW you can still use old sets

[raven willow]

Thanks!! 🙂 @faint flare

[runic cosmos]

It should take u a few hours but duable

12 raid and like 18 quest total

[leaden ginkgo]

12 raids

[forest sage]

if you don't mind it being a bit disjointed though, you can certainly finish EW first and then go back for it

[leaden ginkgo]

I think I can already guess the ending tho

[forest sage]

of EW? that seems very unlikely unless you've seen spoilers

[boreal storm]

You won’t

[leaden ginkgo]

No the eden raids

[leaden ginkgo]

I know literally nothing about ew and want to keep it that way

[boreal storm]

Either way don’t say it here

[leaden ginkgo]

Of course

[forest sage]

but yeah if you want to keep EW unspoiled better go and do it, the longer you wait the more likely it is, at least that's how I approached it at release, didn't use reddit/discord/youtube(god youtube is a spoiler shitfest)/ingame chats and just went through it

[leaden ginkgo]

How long is endwalker tho

[forest sage]

long

[leaden ginkgo]

Like just msq, I don’t do side stuff

[forest sage]

I didn't actually measure but I wanna say 35+hours?

[faint flare]

Longer than the other expansions

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh fuck

I have 4 days before I have to stop playing

On patch 5.3 rn

Can I get it all done

[frozen zodiac]

what uh... happens in 4 days?

[forest sage]

yeah unlikely unless you can play all day

[leaden ginkgo]

School

[forest sage]

I cleared the MSQ in 3days but I played a bunch during that time

[leaden ginkgo]

That I do

[forest sage]

then maybe yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

So should I skip eden for it or nah

Now that you know my situation

[forest sage]

well if you only have 4days and need to do 5.4 to 5.55 and EW, then yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

I guess I can just watch the raids on YouTube or read the lore online

[forest sage]

well you can just do them after

[woeful prawn]

For paladin should I ever use Sheltron over intervention?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah okay

[frozen zodiac]

yes

[woeful prawn]

You can't target yourself?

[leaden ginkgo]

you should use all your abilities

[forest sage]

you can't use intervention on yourself so yeah?

[leaden ginkgo]

and no you cant target urself with it

[forest sage]

Sheltron is for yourself, intervention for other ppl

[frozen zodiac]

yea, its not like tbn where you can target anybody

[woeful prawn]

I ask because both are 50 oath so I was wondering which I should prioritize

[forest sage]

well yourself in most cases

[boreal storm]

Are you dying? Shel

[woeful prawn]

I'm soloing

[forest sage]

intervention is mostly for 8man content when you're not tanking

[boreal storm]

Is someone else dying? Intervention

[woeful prawn]

Hw dungeons for the birds

[forest sage]

well you can't intervention anything solo, and there's nothing else to use gauge on(well cover but same deal)

[leaden ginkgo]

if you're high enough level the hp difference kinda invalidates the mechanics

[forest sage]

so obviously use sheltron, although it probably won't matter that much on most fights, but it's free dmg mitigation

[boreal storm]

Until it doesn’t, because instakills

[leaden ginkgo]

yea

[woeful prawn]

Thanks guys, back to birds

[frozen zodiac]

like that one boss with ballistic missiles

[leaden ginkgo]

heavensward is pretty easy to farm mounts tho

[woeful prawn]

Unfortunately I couldn't use my main smn so I had to level up a fresh pld

[boreal storm]

Why couldn’t you?

[leaden ginkgo]

its 1:40 where i am and im not sure if i stay up to do some more levelling so i have less to do tomorrow or just sleep

[woeful prawn]

Too many ko mechanics and tank busters even a lv90 smn can't solo

[boreal storm]

So uh, don’t solo. EZ solution

[leaden ginkgo]

i used party finder and my fc to farm them

[woeful prawn]

But i don't want to leave it to luck

[leaden ginkgo]

use party finder

say you're farming mounts

or ask fc

[short magnet]

Hi, I have a quick question. Should i use the duty finder or the party finder to do Thornmarch for the first time, I'm just confused lol

[boreal storm]

Duty

[woeful prawn]

Duty

[leaden ginkgo]

duty

[pure copper]

in theory, could i level one class to 90, and then just do the roulettes that have astro tombstones on them?

[slate arrow]

(Hard) and (Normal) should be duty finder

[faint flare]

You can duty finder all story content

[pure copper]

before hitting EW MSQ

[forest sage]

yeah but can't spend them until EW MSQ is done

[short magnet]

Ok thank you guys <3

[forest sage]

so you'll cap at 2k

[slate arrow]

Yes, doing roulettes on a 90 job replaces the EXP rewards with the current tomestones

[wary cedar]

is there anyway to fix no voice cutscenes

[boreal storm]

Is it supposed to be voiced to begin with?

[wary cedar]

i believe so

[jade quartz]

What cutscene

[wary cedar]

all the beginning ones

[jade quartz]

Majority aren’t voiced

Yeah sounds like they’re not voiced ones.

[hybrid wedge]

||I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the theme that plays in the body swap scene||

[young aurora]

Should I not be casting when running?

[warm snow]

At least say that it's an Endwalker spoiler

And secondly I'm pretty sure it's multiple tracks

[boreal storm]

You can’t

[jade quartz]

Movement prevents/interrupts casts

That’s what being a caster is about really

[young aurora]

Not if it's like Garuda Ruins.

[jade quartz]

Those aren’t casts

[jade quartz]

We usually refer to actions with a channeled casting time when we say casts

Otherwise we say instacast

You can move all you like while instacasting

[boreal storm]

Like with RDM every other spell is an instacast

[jade quartz]

Which is most of your time as SMN

[young aurora]

Sorry for being so stupid. :(

[jade quartz]

You’re not

[young aurora]

I'll go away now

[jade quartz]

Mmo terminology just be like that

?? You don’t have to go away

[verbal moon]

Do most people here keep effects on for other members during raids? I’ve had a hard time seeing the boss movement with so much flashing going on.

[jade quartz]

It’s fine

It’s logical to refer to any magic ability as a cast

MMO terminology has just evolved to be specific and quick to say

[boreal storm]

It’s the questions and help channel, so we’re here to help with questions people have

[jade quartz]

No way. Party members effects are on limited, other players completely off

I’d hazard most people have their set up the same

[twilit arch]

i personally do, but if you're having trouble seeing boss mechanics and such its perfectly fine to turn party member effects to limited with others off

[verbal moon]

Ok thanks for this!

[twilit arch]

You're not like...lesser than anyone for turning those down lmao

[obsidian patio]

I’m a mad lad. I play with all effects on and large summoner pets.

[jade quartz]

Make sure not to turn party members completely off, as you still need to see important info like where your healer’s healing bubble is placed so you can be inside it

Limited is fine

Gets rid of most of the big explosions that obscure stuff

[verbal moon]

Right, good thing I asked here otherwise I may have just turned them off.

[warped nest]

Visual effects don't bother me as much. It is quite a spectacle to see multiple fire IV or deathflare firing off in Alliance raid

[keen fjord]

Sigh… ok, so I’ve disabled the device association root enumerator, but… still my controller is having random bouts of unresponsiveness? Why?

I’m even wired in, it shouldn’t be difficult

[leaden ginkgo]

any preferred servers atm with the exp boost?

[boreal storm]

None and there won’t be for months

[leaden ginkgo]

oof

[unkempt hinge]

Is there an orchestrion roll for both night and day theme in ||Old Sharlayan||?

[carmine shell]

there HAS to be a way to remove the text you get during a trial/raid

you know the big text that appears in a huge white box in the MIDDLE OF YOUR FUCKING SCREEN?

yeah that trash

[boreal storm]

It’s important text

[carmine shell]

no its not

its literally irrelevant

i dont need to see a boss say the same stupid line 500 times while blocking mechanics

[warped nest]

No you can't remove it

[carmine shell]

wed be living in a cities with flying cars if we were given an option to disable that text

[warped nest]

Find a way to live with it

Question about savage raid mount:
I know that E8S is Ramuh and P4S is ||Phoinix||, so what about the rest?

[carmine shell]

climate change would be solved if SE had an option to disable that

[boreal storm]

#rants

[dense hound]

Funny thing is that in one of the ultimates you gotta pay attention to what the boss is saying to do mechanics correctly.

[carmine shell]

we would have no crime if disabling that was an option

[twilit arch]

!mute 198166311904215041 1h

[zinc orbit]

Success!

@carmine shell has been muted by @twilit arch for 1 hour!

[twilit arch]

this isn't the channel to whine about things

[tall mountain]

Think only the day theme is available, from gemstones

[warm snow]

Only one theme in ew zones for now

Night themes later probably based on how it was in shb

[leaden fiber]

any favorite ways of leveling up alt jobs around the 60-70 range?

[signal veldt]

do these letters (D,Y,F) at the end of the mob's name mean anything at all?

[twilit arch]

no, its just the game's tagging system

could technicallyuse it for call outs

[grim valve]

For squadron missions does it matter how many points you are below the target or is it just a binary yes/no for meeting the target number? (not a rank up)

[twilit arch]

but nobody does

[signal veldt]

got it

[twilit arch]

its 30% chance to succeed for each stat met

so if you only met 2, its 60%~
