To bad you can stick with them and just raise their item lv and power lol
It's not the same xD I know it sounds exactly like that but the bond you make when making that relic is so cool and special.
SHB relics can only have the 4 stats relevant to their role
Dang then the Anima broken Stat wise
In fact only ARR relic lets you go hog wild on stat choice
how do you remove the sprout?
/nastatus off
You want to use the stats for your Job, but that doesn’t matter because it’s glam
the level 70 job weapon is a stright upgrade to the anima relic
Nice
as in its a new weapon
Well it's used for unsunched farms
Whats previous tiers best raid food for DNC?
Which is basically endgame runs
Pretty sure resistance weapons are already out classed
You cant obtain rewards in new game + ?
isnt it smoked chicken?
nope
Dang that sucks
because you already obtained them, technically
dont worry any stuff that couldnt be gotten by other means was already given to you when you boosted
so you're only missing out mainly on crafted gear
@cursive ridge I'm trying to get the chaos currilas set just to copy it :(
So get Centurio seals
you can buy it for centurio seals if it's 60 artifact set
As we mentioned earlier
Okay but I need to access the hunts board for that correct
No
yes you get centurio seals for Heavensward and Stormblood hunts
A/S ranks you can just kill
Then why doesn't it let me do the hunts then
They’re linear unlocks
@cursive ridge were do I go for that
your grand company
Dude we already linked the faq
Huh
@weary garnet
How do I even check for that
Character > profile or whatever the 2nd tabs called
Flames = Ul’dah
Maelstrom = Limsa
Adders = Gridania
I'm maelstorm
upper floor of limsa then
Aftcastle warp
I just said what the closest aethernet was
if i bought the shadowbringers msq skip is it possible for me to get the Scion Traveler's gear from the quest A Requiem for Heroes?
Calamity salvager
if you bought the skip, then you can just buy it from the calamity salvager
cool never really looked at what the salavger even had before. ty
one more thing, to even start the craft for those items, you pretty much require to have full 560/570 gear or you won't meet craftsmanship/control requirements. so might as well just farm and make those first, they're pretty easy to make
So who do I talk to for this quest
Are you a 2nd lieutenant? Because if not, rank up
So is that a yes then?

'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
oh they linked it
you should do the blue quests from your gc anyway
theyre required to rank up
Okay
@remote lintel thanks
Hopefully when I get to class 2 I'll be able to do that quest
No
You’re apparently still a private class
Ok why can't I see Mimesis Lux to store to glamour dresser?
You just can't
Meaning you have 8 ranks to go
So how do I do that :(
turn in seals for promotion
and do what i listed above
You have to put the replica inside the dresser
that macro is shit dont use it
I'm trying to make it so that I can target people in like an order.
dont
That’s a horrible macro
and secondly you want /ac first since macro lines activate in order
Restoration node, go talk to it
but its just absolute shit dont use it
And why would that guranteed that it is gonna be good
Ah ok. so I'll just rez manually and have the chat pop-up allong the rez
if i buy a name change, do i HAVE to rename before being able to log back in on my character? or can you procrastinate it?
Macro are designed deliberately to not do these clever tricks
dont macro swiftcast and rezz together
if you REALLY REALLY want a rezz macro then all you need is the /ac and the party message
and the icon
Even if it appears to work, it is probably not gonna be consistent
also nitpick, its "Bereitschaftsdienst" ur missing a c
ok cool, thank you guys.
but rezz macros in general arent that useful anyway
@solemn jewel OOPS
also ye, rez macros annoy more than being useful
Is there a list too all scenes that can be different depending on your stats or what you completed?
stats?
Can I use my current anima relic weapon to use towards the shadowbringers one?
no
No
Scenes being diff due to job levels
Relics are completely separate
not job levels but jobs themselves
Ok cool
If you completed Dragoon in ARR, your HW cutscene will refer you with a different name, that sort of thing
the only differences are meeting estinien in HW if youre a drg and being a healer in SB and onwards
But afaict, nobody track these sort of differences
It’s mostly just a line or 2 changing
Would be cool if someone did a video on it
Wait, do you mean that cutscene ||where I heal Alisaie?||
||Ysh||
What happen if I am not a healer?
||the one in rhalgrs reach after zenos attacks||
you just dont heal
I happened to play Astrologian in Stormblood
So it never occur to me what would happen if I weren't a healer
You help stop the bleeding
you just stand there lmao
you're told to hold her down
theres also one in shb
Do these variations in cutscene occur if I view them from the inn?
yes
There’s a toggle or something, I haven’t used it in a bit
Very cool
I see thank you
are there other plugins/mods out there that are worth downloading?
I only have Gshade to make my game look nice
Xivlauncher has a lot of plugins available as part of it
ah I see
You can browse them while ingame in the Dalamud plug-ins menu and install them at a single click
Personally I use uh
Chat bubbles, good memory, teleport helper (can’t remember the right name of that one)
And noclippy which isn’t a built in one but can be added to Dalamud plugins easily by pasting in a repository link
ah I see
where can I find repository links?
is there a site with a bunch of them?
!faq altlauncher
For noclippy you just like
plugins are just preference
There is actually an addon inside xivlauncher that allows you to browse other plugin repositories from it
I see
Noclippy is specifically for people with higher ping though
So you may not have any use for it
I'll go download xiv launcher and search up some plugins then, ty
It improves animation lock responsiveness due to ping
I think my ping is ok, I'm in oce playing in jp data centers
Hm noclippy may be useful then
Check your ping
how 2
!faq checkping

Oh really?
Noclippy would help
what's considered good ping?
Xivalexander is an alternative that does basically the same thing
Under 100 I would call good
ah ok
Under like 60 I would call great
rn I'm just fiending for the OCE data centers to be released
Me too 😔
hopefully with 6.08
Have you applied for promotions with your GC?
How do I do that
I think the middle one
the personnel officer
^^^
Apply for promotion?
So now what's next
F
gotta keep doin em for a while
Were do I do that
you can do FATEs
that too
nope
So how do I do hunts then
you cant do hunts if you dont do the hunt quest first
:( how do I even get that quest then
At the grand company theres 2 people behind a counter. One of them offer the option "promotion"
do that until ur the right rank
yes
your hunting log is under the log menu
do it until u get to 2nd lieutenant
So I have to get to 2nd lieutenant in order to unlock the quest let the hunt begin correct
yes
you kill the mobs that the log tells you to
So I have to kill those specific monsters then?
Yes
theres youtube guides for these to do em faster, im sure you can find them
nah then you gotta grind centurio seals for the gear
@modest igloo true xD

So does your chocobo become fast in each zone after some number of completed quests?
for a realm reborn up until stormblood, you get the first tier of movement speed after completing specific msq for that zone
if my sub runs out and its not a automatic renewal on, can i still buy a sub then ?
yes
cant buy new copies of the game/ create new accounts
but if you already have an account with a copy of the game you can continue your sub
why some sqadron members are glowing?
its their armor
go to limsa and start the blacksmith/armorsmith quests
uldah has miner, goldsmith and alchemist
How do I get inside halatali
Duty Finder
duty finder "U" hotkey
It says I have to talk to this little guy but nothing happens
How difficult is ruby weapon EX compared to sosex?
Not really harder, not really easier. Just sort of different.
What do you get for completing all the custom deliveries of the different NPCs? I know there's an Ehll Tou mount or something, but what do the others give?
Isn't that a main quest
mostly the ability to glam them
no its not
Dressed to deceive
dressed to deceive is msq yes
Ya I did that already
but u did praet u did dressed to deceive
but that's not the quest that unlocks halatali
its the quest that's required for the unlock
the unlock quest is called "hello halatali"
Hallo Halatali is the quest that unlocks halatali. the screenshot shows u where to go it has the coordinates there
no
Dressed To Deceive is the prerequisite. Remember earlier when people were telling you about quest chains? Same concept applies.
thats the 2nd step
Same concept will continue to apply for the rest of the game.
if you read the screenshot maimingway posted is very clearly shows that nedrick ironheart is the quest giver
(near the Waking Sands, in Vesper Bay^)
I can not find the eighth and final swordgrass in "The Labors of Magnai" and I hate everything and myself
Can not express enough how much I hate "go right-click shiny objects and pick stuff up off the ground" quests in MMOs. I actually quit XIV minutes in many years ago during ARR launch when I made an archer, got to Gridania, and was asked to do this.
Sir this is #questions-and-help, #rants is that way ↓
I was hoping someone was going to tell me that there was a targeting feature for this sort of thing. Found it after twenty minutes of going in circles
Thank u
People tend to provide answers to questions. =)
Needs to be an appropriate level node too
And you only get one map every 18 hours
|| what expansion was zodiark introduced? I remembered that they explained the Ultima weapon was needed to revive zodiark but he is in 2.55 and has no idea who zodiark is (should mention he is extremely bad with names to the point he went and got checked for memory problems so he might just not remember the name) ||
Ok really stupid question..... how do I make myself actually forge?
Did you forget spoiler tags? That's very spoily
use ur crafter skills
you do
Your skills raise either quality or progress
you have whole rotations later on
Quality to max guarantees chance of HQ gear
I thought we only had to spoiler SB+ but I guess it makes sense since there are A LOT of new players so I'll spoil tag it sure
I feel like God Grid even though it was just a ingot 🤣🤣🤣
||Zodiark im p sure is mentioned in ARR in relation to the ascians goal||
odd question, I see the endwalker soundtrack is up for preorder but it's like almost 15 bucks more than the other soundtracks. Do we know why?

If you NG+ the second half of ARR, where does it dump you in the questline?
What's the name of the legendary relic weapons for disciples of the hand?
how do i make mo macros that show tooltips and icon?
it would be real jank like all macro'd GCDs but sure
Hey all, I’ve only just started, I find myself way overleveled, like 10 levels ahead of msq at the moment. I didnt even equip all the bonus xp items. Does this get better later on? I kinda like doing side quests to catch up, but rn i’m not touching them
i mean like that the only way to do it cause i dont like to lose target on the boss. right?
Not really, MSQ always provides more XP than you need
Macros are deliberately designed to be shit for combat, if you use them you are making yourself worse
sure, but switching targets isn't that big of a deal? all healing in this game is scripted and predictable, you'll barely ever have to play whack-a-mole with hp bars going down, so you should just be getting used to clicking on the party list then pressing tab to target the boss again
Ok so I just unlocked the Savage in bozja. Is it just like the original thing or completely different
I might as well go in blind for pf. YouTube guides won’t really be that helpful
this is a dumb question but.... how much gil would you think players normally have? i want to get a large house so i can have more space to decorate, but i'm wondering if it's even worth wasting the bid on something a ton of people are going to try to buy
Normal players would easily have 10+ million assuming they dont frivolously spend it
or the better way to phrase this is does anyone have an idea on how many people would be going for a large on average
Me who has 33k😎
considering how hard ppl fight for plots...
there will be a lot of people going for larges
is there a text command for applying a glamour plate?
I say just wait until new housing comes out so you have a better chance at getting old housing
yeah that sounds like a good idea, i fortunately just want any house that isn't in the goblet, so maybe i'll get lucky
I want one in the mist
its hard to say how many people will be going for larges but it's not really difficult to have 50-60 mil saved up
especially if you have been playing a long time
My guess is there aren't any macros for glamour plates yet, unless I'm wrong. (Please throw them my way)
I'd like to be able to swap glamour plates through macros. This would really help to swap between several healer jobs, just by adding "glamour plate 1" to a macro.
so you kind of can
For some reason, I'm not seeing the Regional Scrip C from the Scrip Exchange vendors. I've compelted the Endwalker MSQ. Is there another question i should have done?
ive been qing for cape westwind for almost 2 hrs now is it even possible to q for this trial?
its pretty hard so many people might not want to go through that trouble again
its one of the hardest
How do I increse my rank in the grand company?
apply for promotion at one of the NPCs in the grand company headquarters
it needs gc seals and at some point gc hunting log
it's in the trial roulette so you'll get a party after a while
did you unlock all languages in dutyfinder? what time is it in japan?
if u just want the bonus exp, use eggs
what is a good way to farm Immortal flame seals?
Ok
doing expert delivery (trading gear for seals) but that needs some rank, before that just do the gc levequests for your level that give most seals
when you get sgt 2nd class you can trade gear in
Boiled eggs right?
I am currently a Flame private first class
Yea
gc levequest?
Except for MB, what's a good way to get Nagxian Silk? Submarine or Map dungeon?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Grand_Company_Leves pick for your level

hi WHM player here. What materia should i be melding onto my ilvl 580 gear?
I just competed the hunter rank one logs how do I get rank 2
click the 2
You do see the number 1 on the side right?
pay for a higher rank at one of the gc goons
yes
yes
Shouldn't I have unlocked the rank 2 quests cause I completed number 1
no u need to be storm sergeant 3 as well
!faq dflanguage
Does anyone have advice on making gil? I have max gathering and crafting. Just not sure what might be best right now.
If you are playing in JP, English speakers are minority
make sure you enable all 4 languages, It will decrease your queue time, but you'll be queued with people who play with different language
So second storm lietunt will unlock me the quest let the hunt begin correct
glamour, raid gear, crafting gear, white/purple scrips materials
furniture, current raid food, many
Sometimes as a ninja, when casting a combo of mudra, such as Ten Chi, it will give a visual effect of Raiton, as well as the Fuma shuriken, Is that just a visual error caused by lag or something, or am I actually dealing damage for both?
Btw how can you get more seals since I already completed the 1st rank hunter logs
you just won't be able to move when you cast that
?
unlock 2nd rank hunter logs
you do fates and i think some roulettes drop em. otherwise u trade in gear u dont need
But I mean it plays the animation for casting both the shuriken and the raiton lightning in the same one use of an attack
do daily roulette leveling once a day, finish highest FATE you can access
You can trade gear in as well for reals?
Storm Sergeant Second Class
reward is Expert Delivery
that's when you can hand in pink/green/bleu gear that you don't use anymore for seals
So once I get to storm sergeant I'll be able to do the quest let the hunt begin?
!quest let the hunt begin (Maelstorm)
to unlock hunting board, you need to be lv 50 DoW/DoM
and have Second Storm Lieutenant rank
so just follow the link above and keep ranking till you meet the requirements
This one
yeah that one
It's the hunting board, where you can kill bounty for exp and allied seals
So I have to be second lieutenant to unlock it
yeah
The grind is strong with the force 😭
It's nothing
just level your tank/healer alts with roulette, once you greed/need gears from dungeon that you won't use
you can just trade them for seals
Is it worth it to use custom deliveries released in previous expansions to level from 80-90 when it comes to crafters/gatherers?
people literally cap 90k so quick
yeah, max their hearts
You have only limited amount per week however
once you max their hearts, they will have a chance to give bonus exp and scrips
If you do the ones labelled bonus, then it's free 2 levels per week 80+
whats the best gear right now to start progging lvl 90 extreme trials?
570 tome gear
You can do it in your job gear + some tome pieces
Since the required ilvl is low
what's your gc rank?
I see you are lv 71, just do your daily leveling roulette and guildhest
then after that you finish the rank 1 GC /huntinglog
if it's still not enough seals to rank up, go to the loch and start killing FATEs
after you unlock expert deliveries, you can unrestricted run lv 50ish dungeon, then hand the gear you get with expert delivery
What is WITH the Fate 'Suprise' in Upper La Noscea? Do you have to be right on top of it as it spawns to pull the kobolds off the porters, or what? Twice now I've got there at 14:30 remaining to see the second one fall over dead.
switch to tank class, set your chocobo to healer stance, turn on enmity then start aoe-ing
I have no tank class, I don't use chocobos, and it wouldn't matter since I have to do it as Black Mage.
Also wouldn't matter because I can't fly over there fast enough to save them even if I was a tank.
seems pretty easy to me, I used NIN
but yeah I have chocobo
for zodiac weapon right? the one by the bridge
That means, if I rerun the fight resulting in fewer chess drop, I cannot roll on it?
yes
you only get one roll per week for savage, regardless of getting loot or not
you can help other ppl but you don't get anything from it
ok, thanks for the answer

what quests should I have active when grinding HW FATEs? is it just For Want of a Memory?
theres also the first step of the anima relic, which also gives stuff for doing HW fates
Hello everyone, i want to ask a quick question! If I buy a token of One Hero's Adventure, will it also complete all my MSQ or just the job quests?
only job quests, msq skip is a separate item
Thank you! I want to max my red mage but i dont wanna miss the shadowbringers MSQ
Has anyone been experiencing these weird micro stutters? Usually whenever the camera pans like when I’m moving or during a cutscene, I’ll get this slight hiccup/stutter. It happens randomly but super annoying
It won't skip the role quests in shadowbringers
yea yea i dont have a problem. Honestly i wouldn't mind if it also didnt skip job quests but i dont have the patiance to level up again all the way
So I just found out I can't use my JP copy of ff14 on my US account. Am I just screwed and have to start over?
yeah, you need to buy a US copy
oh god damnit lol
is it better to just start with a trial account before activating my complete edition
I'd say so
up to you, I activated mine when I finished HW MSQ
I bought the complete edition cause it was 50% sale
PS is auto-activated
You can't make a trial account now anyways
this hurts because my old account is at the end of stormblood
You can still buy Endwalker in your old account
true but I have the PC copy and not the PS one on my old one xD
Well then you're screwed
ah yeah
ugh
Gotta wait til sales resume on psn
i mean i bought the complete eidition in JP for only 2300 yen or something
Sales have stopped
i bought it like 3 months ago
If anyone's selling it, especially in Japan its highly questionable
Well have fun trying to get a refund from psn
huh, I thought from PS is auto-activate
Should be, /shrug
how many hours is it going to take to catch up ;p
like 200?
they didn't shorten anything did they?
They shortened arr back in 5.3
Best solution seems to be either continue on pc or wait for sales to resume on PlayStation
That way you keep your character
We're getting an update on sales I believe this week
They said next week yesterday
damn
id have to buy the complete edition + endwalker...again
never knew there were region differences
Complete edition contains Endwalker now
whats the command for normal token drops?
They only ever sell base game and <CURRENT EXPANSION>
yeah It always updates everytime a new expansion is launched
when SHB was current, Complete Edition = Starter + SHB
now, Complete Edition = Starter = Endwalker
so if you ask my opinion, I'll just wait till sales on PS is continued, then you buy the complete edition on your old PC account
Or you can just buy Endwalker for your pc and continue there
that would save a lot of time
You said you had up to stormblood on pc
thanks
unfortunately i dont have my gaming pc anymore, stuck with my PS5
So Endwalker will also give you ShB there
"stuck"
Ah fair enough
No free trials allowed atm so... Probably gonna have to play something else I'm afraid
fair enough, ty for your help
might as well make a JP account because no way im getting a refund
just a side
I'm taking every opportunity to post this cuz it's fucking hilarious
I'll just give it to your JP friend, assuming you live in JP
can someone share macros for P2S?
play together, ez 😹
when leveling with potd from level 50-60, should I just do floors 51-60 repeatedly, or should I try doing the next floors after too?
yeah 51-60
51-60 is best purely for levelling
right, thanks
If you want to multitask other potd shit it's not the best
Where do you get the lvl 90 tomes gear?
Radz-a-hans
Radz
Thanks guys!
why does GNB have no good weapon glam options? is it just because it was added so late?
any suggestions? i like flashy stuff, but the best i've seen have been TEA / deep dungeon
slightly related question, when you clear an ultimate, all party members get a job-selectable weapon coffer, correct?
it is, but i don't like how a lot of relics look generic when they're stowed
everyone gets a totem and you can trade it for any weapon
oh dope, ty
you can make a macro to make it glow though
yeah
but you need to activate it everytime you sheathe it back
yeah, and especially with how limited the options for gnb are, it's pain for me 
Are the older ultimates any more approachable now or is it still a very steep learning curve? I assume the latter.
ultimates are always synced
Basically the same difficulty.
which means there's rarely differences
ty! glad I asked, that'll save me some time
Got it, thanks
Though I heard TEA might have issues due to the stat squish with the mandatory tank lb3
from what I got, DPS checks for a bit easier but healing/mitigation a bit harder(stuff hits a bit harder)
where you need more shielding/mitigation compared to before
how long does it take from scratch to being able to unlock MCH
longest part is completing ARR MSQ
post ARR is quite long too
you have to be in the first* expansion, so could be a hundred hours depending on how fast you wanna take it (it being the MSQ)
and all servers in a data center share queues right?
different
worlds, in the same center
can someone share macros for P2S?

Post arr is longer than arr 
No it isn’t
It feels like it's longer
It’s like half as long
Since in arr you're actually always doing things 90% of the time
are you NA?
JP
ah, not sure about queues there
really rough depending on the time, but currently the queue is nonexistent
guess peeps are still waking up
NA population is double JP
but getting home from work, for example, i'll have a 2,000 or 3,000 queue
how long does that queue take
with less server than JP
it usually takes me 1 hr / 1k
if 3k queue, probably 60 mins
but it varies
Depends
There's not gonna be an outright number to minute answer
yeah, it really varies
but usually, I cook dinner, shower, still hasn't got in 😹 EU queue is insane
You still want to be able to comfortably clear a savage tier without echo
oho
yeah clear a savage tier without echo is a good indication you are ready for ultimate usually
Same old same old
as expected ;p
in NA? much less time
Healer queues have been mildly kneecapped too since Endwalker launch
Dps queues aren't godawful
But you'll still have them
in EU, AR popping non-peak time now 😹
before, I have to wait for peak-time to queue AR roulette, or It won't pop
Pretty much
Can I only infuse 5 materia into a sphere scroll per day...?
How many dungeons can you unlock post end credits?
Thanks!!and those 2 are necessary to unlock the expert roulette?
Yes
Nice, thanks again! ♥️
Hey, How will I know if the world's restrictions will be lifted? Is that random? Thank you
!faq serverlock
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.
As in while ilvl is current and without wiping over and over? I did clear E1S-E4S before I took a 2 year break from the game when they were current but my understanding is those are the “easier” ones.
if you did them while they were current with reasonable ease, you should still be capable of progressing through an ultimate
Anyone know why it takes 4 years (currently in que for about 4 hours) for Minsterl's Ballad: Ultimas Bane to queue up? Gotta do the quest
Cause no sane people que for extremes and up content
Use party finder and preferably unsync it, cause you'll have to win the lottery to ever clear extremes in duty finder
plus its a sidequest so you don't really have to do it
Its an extreme even if it's not listed as (Extreme)?
Minstrel ballad = extremes
Well damn
no. You can buy more treasure maps from Auriana in mor dhona for 75 or 150 poetics
people often run it for WT
Just wait until you are max level and do it solo unsynched
make a party finder, say in the description "Please Help, this is my first time"
People might help you
Ultima
ow, just Ultima
Does frontlines give more exp for winning?
yeh, but even 3rd place, it gives decent amount
but It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to get 1st place
I'm not going to try to win I'm mainly there for the quick exp bump I honestly don't like frontlines.
is there a discord or site or something where I can find groups for eureka? its kinda super empty
@patent citrus I just mean I already don't like playing frontlines as it is i'm not going out of my way to try to win.

imo it's a huge cluster and it's even more annoying on controller.
do dorito stack markers always work with odd numbers of players?
try that
ty ❤️
If you mean things like the 90 msq dungeon or p2n, yes
i think there's a mechanic somewhere on one of the bosses that required 2 players no more, no less, so that's probably what confused me
for those, you can stack 3-5, 6-2, as long as there's 2 or more together and nobody is left out
The red arrows?
As long as you're with at least 1 other person you're fine
ye
It's appeared a number of times before, like in weeping city and Ridorna
Define reasonable I guess, about a week each via multiple pf parties to clear, though by the end it was a pretty standard run (once I had 470 gear). But I can’t do statics due to work, too many late nights.
is there no auto translate function for the new raids names in the chat?

Pandemonium savage and aspheledous are in there
Yeah, Pandæmonium just uses the "æ" in its name
So you need to stop at "Pand" and use tab
Is home world transfer suspended ?
yes
Yee
how to check ping for elemental server?
!faq checkping
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
what if i dont put that?
It will ping 50 times instead of 4 times, so you know how many packet loss you are experiencing
It will only ping 4 times, doesn't really mean anything
oh im using -t
when pinging forever, use ctrl+break, to have it give you the summary, like percentage lost, etc
There's a music track used in the 87 melee role quest when ||the Company of Heroes are being reintroduced|| that I've never heard anywhere else before. Anyone know what it is?
When im lvl 57 best farm is to just do highest level dungeons i can except X0 ones right? (X is number like 5)
want to get DRK to 60 today
will there be a bozja equivalent for EW?
ye
i don't think so?
at least there's no confirmation yet
but i have some vague memory of them saying there won't be a new grind-zone this expansion, but i might be wrong
plus whatever yoshi p says in interviews regarding future content can always change
he definitly hasnt deconfirmed anything to my knowledge
but considering the sheer amount of content in 6.1 it may be more bozja like than eureka like
as a trial player can i start all the "so you want to be a x" missions just to clean up my map a bit?
ye
If you can't do a quest, it should show up as red. Any other quest you can do at your leisure
And there's no downside to unlocking every class
assuming I can't buy the level 80 poetics gear until I finish ShB? Just hit 80 and just started ShB 😩
correct
you could unlock dancer or gunbreaker which start at 70 and then do endwalker on them to not lose the exp 
wait no
sage or reaper start at 70
Because you don't need it
And as always, EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
Completely unknown
6.1s big content drop is island sanctuary so for all we know that could eat up all the bozja/eureka dev time
do you have a question or.. just posting unlabeled endwalker spoilers in a new player channel 

Barely got any xp 😭
That does not belong here
How do I change my carbuncles glamour to the ruby carbuncle in this new expac?
I do it but then it says “Ruby” is not a valid pet name 🤔
/petglamour "Carbuncle" "Ruby Carbuncle"
Thanks that worked, didn’t do quotations!
any FAQ for GC seals and what's worth buying?

not really worth anything since turning in high level gear for GC seals awards you so many seals you'll drown in them
Try glam prism, cordial, etc.
ventures
Anyway to get Antiquated gear for Seika in Idllyshire?
You can still get the upgraded versions
the augmented version is bought from centurio seals
Just not the base versions
Ahh
this is more of a hardware question, but does anyone have any experience of running xiv on a macbook air from 2017?
when you're looking at expert delivery for GC missions, is it only showing items you actually have? I've got a ton of old crap from like 8 years ago I'd love to ditch
it shows whatever is in your inventory/armoury chest, depending on what settings you've got the drop down menu set to
How is alchemist difficulty wise? Is it easy to get into? And is it good for Gil production?
assuming I can dump most/all of this old green stuff
Where is the augmented vendor at for the Centurio Seals? Not finding anything on the website
the forgotten knight in ishgard
Thx
if you can see it there, you can turn it in
make sure to add "hide gearset items"
so you dont throw away your gear you're actually using
noted
Does the elemental armor have replica?
nope
Ok thanks a lot
Im capped on company seals, what should i buy?
ventures, the minion/mount boxes, cordials, glamour prisms?
Lootboxes
buy da lootbox
Did they give a date for 6.08?
no, they have not
Ah dang...
I wanna get into crafting, what is the best DoH class to start with?
I'm only rank 1 lol
U have to level all of them at once, they're connected to one another
Cant buy much
oh
so i have to unlock them all before i can start leveling them?
That’d be best
Nono, u can level them all to around lv 20+ before they start requiring mats from other classes
ohhhh but let's say im rich... can't i just buy whatever i need of the marketboard if im lazy
you should prioritize promotions then
Like finishing maelstrom quests?
If that's the case, why take up crafting? It'd probably be cheaper to just buy the final product
cause... im bored
Well then there's your answer
Hmm... then maybe take up ALC and CUL?
kk
What do people generally spend their purple scripts (for gathering) and white (crafting) on. I don't see anything useful past gear in script exchange and I heard there were books?
Materias?
if u do lvling roulette shortly before reset and u finish the dungeon its already after the reset do u lose your lvling roulette
Yes
you lose the new one yeah
It’s based on completion time
ok
Books require u to buy Folklore token C, which requires white scrips. You need 16 tokens per book, with a total of 9 books, so that's a total of 14400 white scrips
Ah there's a master's recipe tab! I thought it was a different vendor. Thanks!
Wait... huh?
Oh...... i thought u were refering to the legendary books lol
I also was referring to those, i sitll have to find those
U don't need to read them in order
They’re level locked also
Each book gives u specific recipes
so if u're tight on White Scrips, u can focus on the books u need
3,4 =60
5,6 =70 etc
So I got folktole tokens now, is there an exchange in radz-at-han? I know there's one in eulmore.
Yeah, facing north, it's the right path north of the aetheryte
to the right of the scrip exchange NPC
Ah got it thanks! wow. I should've just explored the menus more.
What does this mean
tradecraft mentor
mentor
Trade Mentors are Mentors who earned their certifications by doing a lot of crafting and gathering.
They're supposed to be able to answer most questions about the subject and advise new players on how best to use their resources.
How do one get it?
Yeah how much?
It's really not.
have to lvl a crafter and a gatherer and do some collectables
Reach Level 90 with any Disciple of the Land (Gathering) job.
Reach Level 90 with any Disciple of the Hand (Crafting) job.
Synthesize at least 100 collectibles.
Gather at least 300 collectibles.
ok that's gonna be ez af
I mainly keep mine on so I can talk to people in the NN and answer questions.
Also help newbies meld their gear for them.
For normal lvl 90 raids the ilvl requirement is 565… how do I get that gear? Only tomestones gear?
Tomes and ex gear
yeah tome gear, crafted gear, ex gear
So, the current easiest way to get it is to simply use the Aphorism Tomestone gear.
Or slash for crafted
Got it! Thanks!
The weapons and accessories from the EW EX trials will also help out.
The newest crafted gear is ilevel 580.
crafted is instant atm if you have money, tome is "free" but takes some time, EX well depends on how fast you clear and stuff
Does anyone know the best astronomy source(s)? I'm a noob so im running dungeons for cap
Expert, you just need 5 Experts a week to cap
Do your roulettes. Expert and Normal Raid in particular.
hunt train is the fastest in time spent, but any source is fine
Let alone the other ways like Raid Roulette, Hunt Trains, Maps, etc
I just do expert 5 days
Normal Raid is also just really fast on average.
Especially if you get some of the earlier Alexander raids.

well that depends on who/what you get (the 2 tanks were top DPS the last P3N I ran)
Yikes.
But P3N is pretty hard on average, especially for first-timers.
Just... fire and explosions everywhere.
And the raidwides hurt.
there was no first time bonus so... well it's pub stuff
but raid roulette is only 20 so it's not that great overall I'd say for astronomy
When do savage loot restrictions usually lift?
Really? I thought it was more than that. Huh.
6.18
so in like, 5-6months or so?
Thanks pyros!
they lift basically only a little bit before the next raid tier
Yea just kind of feel bad for some friends. Half of us are in a static together and we can't really prog much with them anymore
Thanks for the info!
What would artifact dragoon helmet would you all say is the best?
Subjective
is plain crafted gear already better than extreme trial and normal raid gear?
ye
ah, okay
so no overmelds it is on-par
thing was I can easily craft the stuff for myself
but idk if I have the resources to overmeld it all
and I'm not sure if I want to just throw gil at the problem considering I am also doing savage raiding
easier DPS check if you overmeld tho
unless you got some big gamers on that squd
Whats the strategy for 7/9 wondrous tails rerolls?
is unsung blade also limited to 1 per week?
definitely true
ye
@willow sandal 1 per week, idk if u get one from p4s
you get the discal tomestone itself from p2s
we've been above the dps requirements for everything up to p3s so far fortunately
then yeah you're prolly fine
but I just don't have any materia stock, nor the time to participate in a bunch of hunt trains
you could prolly just sell crafted gear and use the profits on materia
crafted gear still sells?
it does on my server
That being said food, melds, and potions will give you that much of a buffer between clearing and enragev
yes, crafted gear is going to continue to sell
It's up to you to decide if it's worth it
its week 2 of savage tier
how often do hunt trains happen and where are they usually advertised?
wait so PLD players could've gotten the weapon this week
depends on the server
yeah
swag
On aether anyways the vast majority is on Aether Hunts
the only thing you cant get week one is left side tome gear
is that a discord?
yes but it doesn't apply to you since you're not on an Aether Server
I know
centurio hunts has alerts for EU sometimes, though not all of them were getting advertised on chaos from what i've seen
I think faloop also does hunt announcements?
But the blades are just a trade-in for a discal? So if you can clear p2s its not a big deal? except it kind of is?
you have to win the roll for the p2s drop
blades are for casual players
They do
or an alt path ot the discal if your luck is shit in p2s
The books make sense at least
Do you guys love having 20 different tokens in your inventory for the entire expansion?
You get used to it.jpg
don't hoard things i don't need so
like yes, there's a lot of tokens but like once a tier is done
generally don't keep those tokens
the only tokens you do keep is the extreme trial tokens if you're going for the mount exchange
Is crafted 580 gear worth 2.2 million gil?
I don’t need any gear but I’m just looking at party finder and seen it
for the whole set?
Yea. Plus the weapon
Seems within reason
I see them 100k~ on mb per piece
I bought mine for 1m per piece on day 1 cause i was very thirsty
besides dungeons and hunt train is there other ways to get decent amount of astronomy tomes?
someone suggested map parties
could try and fish for first timer bonus on panda normal
ooh, how much is that?
oh no wait that's aphorism
+40
but most roulettes give astrology too if you do them at 90
how exactlly do i rank up in a grand company?
did the quests malestrom gave me and it just unlocked kobold and fish people quests
you talk to the personnel officer and request promotion
any predictions on when patch 6.08 will release
In February probably
Is there a discord server or something that does bozja Savage someone can invite me too;-;
any summoner players here? I just unlocked energy siphon, is it worth using?
