Gamerscape
Yee
thanks
Dungeons/Roulettes when Tank or Healer, since queues are fast.
For DPS can do roulettes and then Bosza
If the message book in your house is full, is there any way of clearing it?
Or do you just need to buy a new one?

i wanted to level in PotD, but now i get this message: https://gyazo.com/a69aaf325ae743ef6a4f50a249c7fff7
as a new player transferring to the OCE servers, which one is best? I have heard Sophia is RP, any consensus on the other servers?
how do i get strength req if i cant enter it on my char?
Lower floors
Use the other save file to get more Aetherpool levels
ah so the stat is global for both slots?
so i just make a lvl 1 char on the 2nd slot until i have the str req for the 2nd to keep going?
Yep
okay gotcha, ty
What is standard boon% based off of, perception?
Which is separate from location effect boon
It’s the same as how HQ starting chance worked
Don't remember lol
Gathering = chance to get item
Perception = chance to get more
kk
how do i actually mind normal items in the diadem??
i don't quite get it
all the stuff i mined are like for rstoration?
what should I do with untradable/unsellable gear that I dont wanna use for glam
discard?
turn them in to your gc for seals if youre a high enough rank
I cant turn them in, not from dungeon
then sell them to a vendor
sok
he cant sell
wym
then discard it
A question in the similar vein, what about old gear that I used for leveling my crafters?
probably similar
same as above
sure
someone should make a flowchart on what to do with old gear
Thanks y'all
its really not that complicated
Orrrr. They can Figure out stuff
like desynth, glam, sell, trade for seals, sell on market, etc
how would a new player figure out the most optimal stuff to do with gear he doesnt use anymore oO
If new players are just supposed to "figure out stuff", what's the point of this channel?
you just....sell it
if its unsellable
what if it can be desynthed?
If I can’t do A or B, maybe I should C
sure then do that if you want
dont you see what im trying to point out lol
if you have an avenue....then take it
i never bothered to level crafters so i cant desynth anything so i just throw them away
the ones we listed are literally it
selling and discarding are the obvious ones
the only one i would point out to new players is turning them in to your gc
otherwise do whatever it doesnt matter
it matters to new ppl. its an awful feeling having your inventory cluttered with stuff and you dont know if you potentially throw away valuable gil that you might need later on
you know how to sell and you know how to discard
you keep missing the point dude
you realize that old gear sells for literally like 20 gil or less
it makes no difference
Half of this is seen just from right clicking an item
the only value old gear has is potentially turning them in for seals
otherwise theyre so worthless it doesnt matter what you do with them just get rid of it
Used gear cant be sold in market and in vendor is basically pocket money
the flow chart with literally just be
gc turn ins > sell = discard = desynth
yes im aware. im simply saying that a "flowchart" for new players doesnt seem like a bad idea and telling them to just "figure stuff out" doesnt rlly help in that regard.
i imagine that question pops up frequently
Not from what I’ve seen
it doesnt and we tell them to just get rid of it in whatever way you desire
it's hardly a flow chart if theres only 2 steps
i give up
it really is not that complicated to just look at your menus
yeah just desynth or gc seals, you can't do this just discard
Also you could just never unlock desynth and GC turn, because some people don’t do side stuff
its literally just process of elimination
Hi, level 31 rn and im trying to use my first mount - a chocobo that i got from the quest i have company chocobo in my abilities thing, but I just cant summon it - keeps on saying "this command is unavailable at this time"
i know its not the place im in because i saw someone walking by on their chocobo a couple minutes ago - any ideas
how do i efficiently get aetheric density for the anima questline
You need to use the whistle
Ye
whats a9s
9th floor of alexander savage
Brayflox hard if soloing
how long does it take doing a9s or brayflox hard
Less runs if doing alex
how many runs usually for alex
💀
At the worst 21
my ass thought i was almost done with this relic
Got 2 steps after this
i have the newborn soulstone
20 runs with a group of 5 takes like less than an hour
and then i have to do those 12 trials
assuming youre not doing this on level of course
im level 72
but i could get some fc people that are level 90
then it might be a bit slower
how long does unsynced a9s take
if everyone is max lvl with a group of 5 it takes like 4 mins or something?
been a while since i did it
since its an 8 player raid, could i do it with more people to make up for my lower level?
if you can get that many people to farm for 45-50 mins
People join light farms, usually
what are light farms
the density shit
oh right lmao
what lv do i need my crafter to be to turn in a lv 76 collectable? is it just 76
How many centurio seals is it for the emote?
yes
damn
needs to be the same level as the collectible
What emote
if you have a full party
it took us 20-30 mins with just 1 lvl 70 and the rest were lvl 90s
geez the questline to get the raid is long
the next 2 quests are super easy since you can unsync those trials
sweet
do the raid in the previous quests in the questline take long?
not really, if you just skip through the questline
skip how
Since you didn’t answer I’m just gonna assume you mean the clan log ones, it’s 6k for both of them
kk
here we go
the things we do for cool swords
wait hold on, by doing these raids before a9s, do i get aetheric density?
Yeah but like baby amounts
savage gives way more
thats better than nothing, atleast im getting some on the way to unlock the savage
Doing centurio train. So 3k each?

is fastest way of getting resistance rank 10 to do group fates?
Do the quests too
ty
Does anyone know... when the OCE servers open, are you able to buy a house plot right away?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
👀
the gold ore nodes, does it only spawn once a day in one spot?
@obsidian patio Thank you!
Yes
or that spot will respawn again in the window?
ARR unspoiled nodes spawn every 24 eorzean hours
how do i get higher mount speed in bozja
Buy the riding map in the main camp with Bozjan clusters, which drop from mechanical enemies
got it
how many?
25, IIRC

Hi if I deletd my old free account with FFXIV that I never efven logged into teh game with I can still use it for my actual account if Im chanign my email right?
ARR/HW/SB maps are from their expansions clan hunt vendors
Cause the email still hasnt come
flying is max speed so unless you regularly ride on the ground you wont need them
SHB/EW are from the shared fate system
@obsidian patio Thanks again!
But yes, riding maps are pointless with flying
Since they don’t boost flight speed
oki
do tank defensive cd's normally stack?
like if i do a big pull, can i use like 3 at once
Yes
yeah they stack
I believe that they all do
Buffs stack multiplicatively
!action troubadour
They do stack, but iirc, some of them they don't stack efficiently.
Like you should avoid stacking Rampart with Sentinel
But it's fine to stack Sentinel with Reprisal (one buffs your defence, the other debuffs your enemy's attack)
Afaict if things don't stack, they will be listed on the skill tooltips
I don't think that's why you don't stack rampart and sentinel
When did Y'shtola switch to DPS?
Shadowbringers
what was she before?
Could have sworn she was a healer then...
do buffs stack like 1 * 0.8 * 0.7
with rampart and sentinel
-20% dmg taken and -30% dmg taken
!faq pldmiti
From SHB, but shows how they stack
Yes
like 2 separate vuln up or something would increase more than separately
Buffs and debuffs work from separate ends
my friend just hit the last island on endwalker and i cant see him why
But the result is the same right?
different instance maybe
just story lock him in spiecal instant ?
A debuff making enemy deal 20 percent less damage is the same as a buff that makes you take 20 percent less damage?
hello
if youre solo, yes but with a group making enemy deal 20% less is better
Btw, I got a quick question, is the dragon form shown in Dragoon LB3 based on a specific dragon?
I thought it's leviathan head cause it's blue 🤦♂️
now thinking again it doesn't make sense
leviathan isnt a dragon
yeh
what's the lowest possible cast time I can get with fire 4 in bozja
0 with swift/triplecast :3
iirc it was 1.96 with haste gear? but you could also use the lost chainspell and make everything instacast
recast* sorry
yeah then 1.96, but i would need to double check that myself
none, since everyone levels everything, since they all feed into eachother
do we have data on what has the least people specializing in?
at ____ horizon
i dont believe so, since theres no title to upload to the lodestone to check
alrighty
use it to your advantage, scout out what people aren't sellin and make them big bucks
You basically have to go out of your way to level a single doh and not all of them, with the exception of cul
Cul basically requires nothing from the others
Are they actually selling at that price, or listed? I don't recall field dressings ever being that much on my server xd

it's in collection in the duty menu instead of key items
they moved it when endwalker launched
do retainers still have break points? like for getting the "your retainer's gear level was sufficient to earn greater rewards" thing
ty!
you need to do the aurum vale dungeon
ahh i guess i unlocked it a while ago but forgot i did so lol oops
With Australian servers coming online soon, what are some items I could take over to sell and make a nice profit from?
pretty much the same things currently selling well
580 gear, tomestone mats, X and IX materia, 580 food + pots
The correct answer is: popular item that no one else thinks of
What that is, who knows
Because people are buying it since it’s a desired glam piece, and not as many people are doing eureka as they used to. It used to sell for cheaper but I’m guessing supply isn’t as high as before
Supply dwindles, demand remains
If I were a betting person, I’d go for some fc house item. Cafe walls and the like
Fc’s don’t transfer over, yeah? So it may take a while before people are able to make these things
No but people should be able to make fcs immediately as progress does carry over. That and friends lists should theoretically transfer over
Ah yeah that’s right, but there will be a higher demand for housing items since a lot of people who never had a house will be getting one
is there a case where you want normal diagnosis over eukrasia diagnosis? (excluding doom or LD case)
if you are low on mp and have no other options i guess, the only reason to use diagnosis over eukrasian diagnosis is mp efficiency
if you're under level 30 too
When was the step of faith released?
aka the big dragon fight
Is it like, 2.4? 2.5?
2.55 i wanna say
yea 2.55
2.55
If one were to play from Southeast Asia, would connecting to the Oceania server be better? Or is Japan still best?
you can ping them when they open and you'll be able to find which one has better ping
also is the undersea line still broken?
that would prolly make oce servers better
It should be. Last i heard, the repairs were scheduled for early-mid Feb
Most of our traffic is current being redirected to alternate lines
ah nice
Honestly though, SEA players are currently stuck in a Dilemma
Yeah... Wish they open an "Asian" sever in Singapore or something
Do they stick with Tonberry? Where they've been playing all this time? Or move to OCE DC where almost all players will be English speaking, and they can bring their stuff over
I'm a SEA player currently in Cactuar, so idk if i should also move to OCE...
I for one, would love to see how /shout chat works in an Aussie server
Cactuar's odd hours for me basically gives me a free pass to play on peak hours
Im currently connecting from SEA due to work, and Ive been in Balmung since forever 🤣
Exactly, Endwalker release was so good with my prime time being everyone's bedtime
Yep, people were queuing for hours with errors left and right, meanwhile i was catching some zzz's
Plus no naughty /sh chat or NN spoilers
But moving to OCE would allow me to actually socialize more, especially now that i'm at the end game
So idk...
Up to you in the end
I don't have a house, and i don't have an FC i'm attached to...
And becoming more #general-discussion
This. It's hard for me to do FC stuff since my timezone is the exact opposite of everyone
how do I get this item?
I mean i'm still asking for people's opinions on whether i should move to OCE DC or not...
Pre-order an expansion
i think there's currently no way to get it
This is a preorder item
it should be available again if u preorder the next expansion 7.0, whenever it's comings out
oh okay...
If you don't got it, you cant get it
But by then, u'll probably not need it
Nope
okay
The earring was only for EW
Eh? Really? I thought it was also available with previous expansion pre-orders?
There's probably going to be new pre-order earrings and will go up to 90

This was the ShB one
Oh...
I'm just trying to see ways to get XP when I switch jobs
because if theres no story quest
!faq altlvlguide
Starting level since shortage of sprouts is hurting early dungeons
Well until tomorrow
Trueee. My leveling dungeons have been Endwalker stuff due to people playing catch up with the expac
I'm assuming samurai is a DPS class
I'm level 50 right now
on my MNK class
Very much so. It ONLY does DPS
You can see on the job screen
I normally play FFXIV on NA servers so 4 - 9 AM is when I play
Am!?
but I'm in Asia so it's not late
Hmm, 50-60 can be done in 3 days of no-lifing it and dungeon spam. With my own personal leveling stuff. It takes me 4 days (fastest) to 6 days to get from 80-90
I'm in Asia rn
Oh I meant my main job (meaning my only job that I have) is level 50
does level on other jobs matter?
I heard it does
the higher level you are the more xp you earn or something
If you want to do content with them
!faq armory bonus
kupo?
u good
if you have a job that’s higher level the rest you get bonus exp until you get that character to the same level
!faq armouryexp
kupo seems to be a little dead
ooo okay makes sense
ie if you have a level 90 you get 100% bonus exp up to 90
or lagging
well it gets reduced to 50 at 81 - 90
okay thats really good right?
Oh. Ok, if you want to max level MNK, then I suggest do all your roullettes everyday, and then once the day's roulettes are done, you can do dungeons.
I guess, youre not done with story? Doing story gives you the required xp to level in that range, so doing HW Main Quest will get you to 60 real easy. You can level 2 jobs hand in hand that way. Do roulettes with Samurai for example, and do MSQ with Monk

i would say double exp is good yeah
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 90 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 79, which then reduces to +50% for level 80 to 89. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
okay!
we did it team we verraised kupo
I'm buying the game tomorrow
I'm so exited to try all the new jobs
samurai, reaper, bard, etc
Welcome! Samurai and Red mage are very cool jobs to play as, although you need to buy the game for that
Some free jobs you can try on the meantime are Rogue/Ninja and the new and improved Summoner
yep I know
I'm planning on maxing out a few jobs
If you have the time, you can maximize all of them!
I will 100% do that but for now these are the ones that look really really fun to me
Dark Knight
Samurai
Ninja
Bard
Red Mage
but I heard those are like the most popular jobs
Define popular
like many people play them?
But that’s like every job
hmm Idk then my friend who plays ff told me that
!faq meta
unlike with certain other MMORPGs every job is played to some degree
I don't really know myself since I just started the game
Reaper is probably the most popular job cuz it's brand new
ohh ok
makes sense
are we getting free transfers for those who want to move to ocenia server? is it 1 per account or per character?
!faq worldtype
Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.
Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.
Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.
New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.
Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.
per character, free to new servers only
Oce servers are all new
okay thanks for your help everyone I'm going back to playing the story because I'm completely addicted lol
Finished 2.55?
You either quit in arr or play long enough to become a walking talking meme
not very far into it
Thank you very much!
The best is still very much yet to come
Arr is solid, but it's widely agreed that the later expansions leave it in the dust
do the expansions give more places to explore?
Speaking of which if you're only that far into msq you're not gonna be getting level 60 on jobs that soon
yeaaa
Each expansion is honestly about a jrpgs worth of content
I'm level 50 rn so it'll still take me a bit to get to level 60+
thats fking crazy
a entire JRPG
You're gonna be forcibly scaled to 50 until you finish all the arr patch content
Mind you, that's gradually released over a 2 year time period. But you playing now can still play pretty much all of it
okay
yeah
also is the endwalker expansion any good?
Fantastic
I think it comes included in the ffxiv package I'm buying so I just wanted to know
oh nice
The only dlc you can buy now is endwalker
It will include all previous expansions
Ff14 is a linear story
OH okayy
The story of arr continues in heavensward and stormblood
Endwalker is the end of the overarching story that technically started over a decade ago in 1.0
so is it even worth buying the game now unless I REALLY want to play the other classes?
Well, you'll need the dlc to not waste exp if you hit level 60 early, but otherwise its up to you
okay
I'm buying it anyway so it doesn't really matter lol
if I enjoy it
I buy it
You can't buy just previous expansions on their own, but Endwalker includes them all and costs the same amount
okay cool
So in total you need to complete 66 fates in a shared fate location to attain rank 3?
page 1 magic is rank 1?
ye, 66 for each area
Damn..
i believe so, but each spell indicates its rank in the tooltip iirc
what's "Threshold" in the Reaper job?
i dont' see the rank hmm
what should i equip on my 2nd ring,
i already got a shire custa ring
another shire ring
oh in the book
ah ye there
whatever your job wants for main stat
im a tank
you can have 2 of the same ring
oh, well then nvm
it is
then yeah grab 2 of those
whats a good tank attributes
i know health and str is the main one, but what about the 2 last one
doesnt really matter too much until cap
but most jobs like crit
theres the age old "war hates DH and all the other tanks like it" thing always goin on

after 60 the gear goes back into fending so you can tell at a glance what ya need
What do carbuncles actually do?
radiant aegis and searing light
thats it
once you get the red yellow and green ones they start doing dps stuff
you also need to have the carbuncle out to use the summons/demis
Where should I post something like this;
"If you're on Light and want/need some help with crafting, I am currently leveling all my Crafters 80-90.
Send me a DM, and I'll come back to you shortly"
#eu-datacentres
Great, thanks
Btw, any tips for becoming mentor?
I'm in EW, all gatherers to 90, working on my crafters now.
(All are 80+)
Also, should I focus on getting the master recipes?
Yes
Bought my girlfriend Endwalker on PS4 so she can download it before sales resume tmrw, but although the transaction went through her PS4 didnt actually download anything. Are the files already included on PS4 version? I remember having to do a patch on PC after I bought it

do they have the base game already?
Nope just trial, if you mean downloaded, yes she has the base game files
!faq poetic
should I throw TBN on top of regular mits on drk? by itself it pops instantly
doing relic quest is cancer
Animus take so damn long
is there no faster way to do it
yes
Eventually you got oblation to stack consistently with tbn, but normally TBN is a shield, basically extra hp, which means it benefits a lot from being stacked with extra mits
is there a discord for eureka that I can join?
could I start a pull w/ TBN by itself, then arms length in the middle of it, into rampart?
I wouldn't start a pull with TBN if you have a WHM cuz holy for example, but yeah
I mean that goes for most mitigation if you have a whm
well w/o a whm then
but yeah you can do that
its weird using mits on drk
how so?
then buying endwalker does nothing for them
they need the base game to download endwalker stuff
my last tank getting to 90, though im only 80 on it so missing oblation
but it feels weak having 3.5 mits including arms length, not counting tbn
in dungeon performance I might agree
given its a shield it feels awful in wall pulls compared to like... raw intuition/HoS/sheltron
great for TBs but dungeon content is rough
sounds like it depends on you
which ive been spamming for exp
I've had a fine time with getting DRK to 90 in endwalker dungeons, the fact healers need to use OGCDs doesn't take away from it that much
so at this point i feel like slapping TBN off cd on top of anything is the better choice
maybe apart from shadow wall
TBN should be off CD anyway
All on one job, or across the board?
it's 15 seconds
i should phrase it like
im treating TBN as a separate cd, out of familiarity w/ using stuff like Heart of Stone by itself
that'll be part of it
which ends up being a bad choice
it definitely melts if you use it alone in big pulls
so sometimes I clip TBN into other mits
you should be able to get full coverage anyway
yeah
TBN being essentially extra hp that stacks mit is part of its strength
yeah I wasnt sure if I should be stacking that on other things
there you go lol
it serves decently alone if you're towards the end of a pull too tbh so it's not a sin to use it raw
bc ive been trying to use it by itself, then immediately use another mit before it breaks
lasts maybe 1 gcd in a regular pull
scrip iirc
Can you meld the scrips?
it's def gonna last very short if you're just using it without mitigation
anything to drag out my mit uptime
and honestly the thing I noticed the most w drk after oblation it kind of felt like I was never floundering entirely
DF people are bad for my mental health
there was always something up
Then I'd look at the scrips vs the HQ + normal melding
if you're really struggling your DPS might be bad for the pull if all your mits wear off but that's every tank
migh feel better once I get 2 lvls and get oblation but for now it feels awful
its usually a dps problem yeah
I guess if you're used to WAR the dungeon performance just isn't the same
the crafted set beats scrip even with only the open slots and like, one overmeld per item
but the thing is I have more trouble on DRK spacing than other tanks
obviously dungeon performance isn't everything at least :V
like using tier 10s in the open slots and tier 10 or 8 in the first overmeld
I pulled the entirety of the first pack in mt gulg
everything on CD, OOM, living dead, still died bc of dps
aight makes sense, ty!
I have ptsd of seeing my samurai cast midare in 10+ enemies
I'll say with TBN and oblation you'll be seeing 0 damage tankbusters at the very least
Once I get oblation its that + TBN in pulls?
it's only 10% and the cooldown for TBN is 15s
tbh I stack reprisal on occasion as well
remember TBN is basically free being on such a tiny CD
ill prob mess around with mit combos when I get it
I mostly plan out mits and TBn acts as the bonus
tbh if I'm healing a drk, I can tell when they're good and I barely have to do anything
also does living shadow do random attacks? all at same potency?
I've had to heal gunbreakers more than I have to heal good drks
I don't think they're all the same potency
living shadow had a specific order
involved bloodspiller, your aoe blood spender, flood, etc.
Working on it
It basically is
Like in the crudest of terms salted earth and living Shadow are essentially dots. Or pets.
huh.
drk has two dots that are just more hassle than normal dots lmao
they just look better
and do have use in AOE
Even if living shadow only does like two AOE attacks but I concur
Are all residential plots in OCE data going to be lottery? Or only some ?
And if lottery, are we able to bet on multiple houses ?
unsure, 6.08 patch notes will give us a better idea
Ok thank you.
how come when i try to do the fate the emnity of my enemy it doesnt register on my animus book? is it bugged
i dont believe so, the last live letter said that you'll only be able to bet on one house at a time
Poo, that’s dumb
i assume you got your weapon on and got gold participation?
you can make a gearset with it on to make it a simple button click
thanks, ill do that
are wegetting 580 crafter gears in 6.08?
no
😦 have to wait till 6.1?
Expected timeline of crafting/gathering gear for EW based on SB/SHB
what's 6.08 then?O_O
hmm 6.1 will be the 580->590 gear for combat jobs?
you'll be able to upgrade the crafted gear in 6.1, yes
kk
and then there'll be the 24-man gear at i590, and can buy astronomy tomestone upgrade materials with nuts

quick question, if a healer is literally not doing any dmg skills and not even healing that much do i say something, i don't want to be rude but its not like they are new since this is end game trails and stuff genuinely don't mean it in a toxic way they just never used any dot or attack at all.
If they're having trouble with healing in endgame content while doing minimal/no damage, then call them out on it.
something like "If you are having difficulty with doing damage, then please make sure you can heal the party at least"
otherwise they're just dead weight
Dots are instant casts too
Just leveled my first gatherer (fisher) to 51, fisher quests directed me to Ishgard, and I happened to check on the Firnament, where I got a chain of introductions to all the characters and got told to go to Diadem. I went there and I'm thoroughly confused on what I'm supposed to accomplish there. Every fishing location seems to be inaccessible to me due to cloudfishing not being available to me and/or lures not being available to me due to my level. I'm guessing that zone should only ever be visited once you're past lv80, as lure item levels suggest? Not sure why quest for unlocking it wasn't level gated then, though.
you should be able to do water fishing on the south-westernmost island
how do you macro a craft recipe?
ite ill do next time idk if im cursed but i keep getting co healers that just stand around and do nothing untill they take dmg
you can't macro starting a craft, if you're asking for that.
Oh, thank you, I'll check that one out!
😦
that's annoying lol..
i want to craft like 99 HQ cordial
that's ton of clicking XD
it's only two clicks per craft 😛
*33 that's like 70+ clicks XD
Hard parts getting all the fucking lavender
macro your rotation
and move the crafting menu interface so that the start craft button sits right on top of your macro
Plus trained eye at 80
don't know why they don't just made the batch crafting actually just 100% HQ
when you certian level above lol
Press P
Go into System
User Macros
Pick an empty one.
Example for HQ cordials:
/ac "Trained Eye" <wait.3>
/ac "Groundwork" <wait.3>
/ac "[name of skill], <wait2/3.> (Cant remember which ones are 2 and which are 3
Remember to test them before using them
buffs need a timer of 2, stuff that increase progress/quality need 3
observe also needs 3
How about Muscle memory and the others?
What determines xp gain from Diadem fish? Bonus xp varies from +297% to 0% from some fish to other fish but I don't see any statuses changing whatsoever (+3% on the screenshot is from food)
muscle memory is 3 since it also boosts progress
Did you lose the effect of the Manual?
if there is a manual with 300% bonus I'd love to buy it lol. No, didn't have anything but food
Maybe it's large fish bonus, but it's a bit strange that it'd be exactly +297% xp
best bet would be just carry around the squadron gathering buff, the survival manual and just food
those 3
Looking at the log I had either 3% bonus, or 300% bonus or 18% bonus, no rhyme with when which popped
does keep farming a mob in the same area lowers their drop rate???
Hey all, i have a question in regards to housing. With materia data center coming out i plan to transfer over. I've never attempted to look at or buy a house before and have just enough for a house i think.
I've heard people talk about buying any house then relocating. Not sure how relocation works so unsure if thats my best option or to wait and see if a plot i like opens
never heard of that being a thing
buying a random house to relocate to a desired plot won't be needed for the OCE servers since all the plots will likely open up at the same time with patch 6.1 launch
cuz like lol..i am farming in epirus
they dropped quite often
then like 20 mobs 0 drop lol

@obsidian patio Ah ok. I wasn't sure if housing would be up on launch or if delayed. gotta relearn my class and was considering just starting fresh to play with friends. If it's delayed fresh and saving may be the way to go or can transfer main just for funds i guess
Do the 50/60/70 dungeons just not give xp for leveling, non roulette? I'm level 60 and was going to do a 60 dungeon to level, but I thought I recalled someone saying they don't really give any xp and you should go for the 59 instead or something
Good to know, though very bizarre
do gubal/potd till 61
They're not made for levelling
They're made for tomestones
They HAD no xp to begin with
The xp they have now is just tacked on to give you a small something when doing story
Ah I see
I don't know that I'd ever be so desperate for Tomestones that I'd wanna run em, but good to know I have the option.
the msq roulette gives 500-600 per day 😁 and gives a lot more exp
a lot of those dungeons are fun to run though
If I wanna get some xp and Tomestones + relax; I just tank Prae
Whats the requirement for being a Crafter Mentor?
90 in any crafter, 90 in any gatherer, and turn in like 500 crafting and 200 gathering collectables to the house of splendor
the smiths at the starting city inns list the exact requirements
Ah, I need to deliver the collectibles
Nice
you all think the guild hest roulete is worth doing?
Nope
I assume that eventually they are gonna retire guild hest
Or make them single instance
Probably not
They're meant to act as a bunch of little tutorial missions
Also makes mentor roulette waaaaay easier, I'm over halfway there now
Do it 3x or 10x for challenge log is not bad exp tbh if you want fast duty but lot of it cause you can suddenly interupted or sumthing
is it basically impossible to get the augmented laws order armor?
you have to run DRS and i've been scouring discord groups for ages but no one runs it
Anybody know the name of the twitch channel that may have a recording of TPS progging the pandemonium fights? I want to see some reactions 😂
TPS doesn't stream their prog, so there's no public videos of it.
Oh, thought they did for EW :(
Only their clears.
Is there another top team that does?
Stal
Top teams, no. But some 50 or so of the teams that participated in the world first list streamed their progress.
Im so lost and frustrated with the account creation and purchasing the game. If someone doesnt mind helping me id like some help
Can't buy yet
You can't purchase the game right now.
Not until Wednesday.

So what did I buy?
Probably endwalker
Dlc
which is useless until you buy Starter edition
Probably the expansion only.
Seriously?
Yes
Lmaooo
So I spend $60 for DLC?
Did u buy collectors?
yes
Dlc with extra items
Oh christ this again
I dont even understand. How do I make the account and play the game?
Better not to think of it as "DLC" which implies that it's something partial, since that's not what it is. "Endwalker" includes three expansions-worth of content, which is equivalent to three full-length single player games.
You dont
Reminds me of when I accidentally bought Rollercoaster tycoon zoo expansion as a kid thinking it was the full game and I had to return it 😂
Can you refund?
yeah
No I cant....
if you revealed the code, it's too late to refund
rip
Returns to sale tomorrow but otherwise can't do shit
You create an account on the Mogstation and register your product code. However you'll need to purchase and register the Starter Edition as well.
tl;dr
wait for like tomorrow™️ to buy starter
But you can't do that until Wednesday.
how much is that?
20$
One
30 days realtime
for the collectors edition?
Okay also if I made my SE account through steam link what would my ID be?
I did and I linked it to my steam account
but when I sign in its not letting me
idk if I messed up my account or not
use the same user name and password from steam account?
Whatever username and password you registered when you created the SE account.
Use that.
If you were on the SE store would your SEID be at the top right?
SE store account is not the same thing as mogstation account
though you can use your mogstation account to log into the SE store
that doesn't mean thought they are the same
Okay so even if Ive made an SE account that doesnt mean ive made a mogstation account?
if you mean the SE store, then no you haven't made a mogstation account
Okay will I have any problems redeeming DLC but not having the base game yet?
You have to
And its coming out on the 26th?
Resuming sales tomorrow
Okay cool. Thanks for helping me. Currently deployed to the middle east and just wanna relax and have some fun 🙂 it looks like a fun game.

The 97% is the chance to get something at all, right ? But what does the 65% mean ?
97% chance to get an item, and then 65% to get an additional one
ahh, alright ty
anyone have a gear guide for ishgard resto? im missing a few stats(with food)
So I know the game relaunches at 5 PM JST. Will it reflect on American storefronts at the same time? Is it worth waking up in the middle of the night to grab a copy?
i doubt they'll run out of digital copies if that's your concern
Yeah, I'm just worried if they're already saying they might postpone sales again that with all the hype built up, they'll see a ton of copies sell and shut it down again.
But I guess I don't know the larger context of the data center issue - if the new ones will really help clear things up or if it won't make a difference.
Sorry for the ramble. Had my eye on this game for awhile and when I wanted to pull the trigger, it was off sale so I've been waiting patiently lol
I'm having some issues with the audio settings for the game, can anyone help?
Basically, every time I run the game, the audio resets itself to the default audio channel of my pc. I have to manually move it to a different channel (I have an external audio mixer with a dedicated "games" channel), and that happens every time I start the game. Is there a way to set a channel for it and have it stay there?
just reached level 55 with PLD is there a reccomended order to trying out the other jobs? like ive heard for the healer jobs astrologian isnt the best one to start with
Machinist and dark knight look fun
I can always play dragoon if I get curious about how the floor tastes
Hello! IDK if this is the right channel to ask this but. I wanted to get the 'neath dark waters (scions and sinners) orchestrion roll. afaik that's an item code you get from getting the blu ray album. When i look at the description on the na store it says "Each first-run edition also contains bonus in-game item codes!" does this mean only a limited print of the cds have codes? If i bought one now is there a chance I won't get one?
thank youu to whoever can answer ; ;
i turned off battle effects to show limited only when I'm in a raid but that also turned off the DoTs and debuffs that is applied by other party members on the boss
can I have someone make that battle effects is only limited (my fps won't be low) but I see the DoTs and debuffs applied by others?
They're separate settings so yes
Turning effects to limited doesn't change what debuff show on the boss
That's under two completely separate menus
Character configuration > hud > untick "display only debuffs you inflict"
if i but the game and i have a free trial, can i bring my character(s) over to the full game? the mog station isn't letting me transfer to full game because hte site is "under maintenance"
You cannot buy the full game atm
Sales resume after Wednesday? i think? Then u can upgrade via mogstation and keep your progress
oh i thought they were resuming today
aah ok thanks
Once normal game sales resume, yes, your character will be preserved. You don't have to start over with a new one, your account is just upgraded to the paid version.
25th i think? which depending on timezone could be wednesday for some
Do keep in mind that once you enter the verification code and upgrade to paid, you can never go back to being free trial.
i guess it's just endwalker and 60 day game card that's available
I'm not finding any conclusive or clear wording on what qualifies as "First-run Edition", so I can't tell you for sure.
yeah this is my issue too ; ; reeeeeeee
when can i go to the western highlands in ishgard? i have my class quest in there but the gate wont open?
Msq
What lvl is the quest and what lvl is your MSQ
talk to the chocobokeep in ishgard
if they won't take you there, then do more story and talk to them again
Usually a good point of thumb to know when you’ll get there is by those MSQ levels
But also the like 52 scholar quest required flying in the first HW zone so I’m not 100%
58 scholar, i think
Quest is 52 and I'm not sure the msq
It's the one where
||the count has me help his sons||
hi anyone know what ui mod is it, thanks

Hi there, I am trying to renew my sub as I am want to start playing ff14 again and it's not working! I tried to press on renew subscription and it's not working! Can anyone please help me ?
where is pugilist guild?
Uldah
do any buttons work ?
the change one ?
it doesn't have its own aetheryte?
No
yes it is
thank you 
from the plaza i can't see the aetheryte
No cause it's legit out the aetheryte
its prolly on another page maybe
where is the setting to skip cutscenes youve seen before?
Like cross the street
ah gotcha
ok cool
How are the queue times /
for duties ?
For logging in
Does it still kick you from the game if you have been afk for 30 minutes + ?
but i log on early morning EST
yes
yep
but the queue is short enough to not matter
Can it still be bugged by opening the retainer bell ?
😦
they fixed all the conventional work-arounds
Thank you, well.... time to wait 😦
you need third-party software to get around it, basically.
I finally maxed out a bot retainer, whats the best way to turn up a profit? Just gather specific materials and sell on MB? Or do quick/normal explorations for some other items?
if you want consistent money, gather specific materials
if you want to gamble, do quick ventures
what is this
is that all it does
yep
theres a bunch of them
they're called "Magicked Prism" on the marketboard
i hear that for some relic quest lines, the time you put into one transfers to the rest, is that true?
only directly true for shadowbringers relic
since there are steps that only need to be done once and are not repeatable.
Technically Eureka relic makes it easier after your first
Cause it's easier to grind
HW relics indirectly become faster since you can stockpile poetics items for later relics
and Eureka relics indirectly become faster since you can stockpile the materials and don't need to do the story/leveling process again
the ARR relic can be exchanged for the first step of the anima weapon in HW
it saves you like 40 mins, for 60 hours of effort
if i run Bismarck EX unrestricted, the mount whistle can still drop yeah?
yes
Thanks
thanks everyone. i revisited bozja but it's not open for reaper it seems :p
needs to be 71
The minimum level for bozja is 71.
So you have to get to 71, first
oops
how do i skip cutscenes ive seen before from settings
ty
is there a way for a beginner to make good gil out of gc seals ? I do not have much time atm and mostly do all supply and provisioning missions for all DoH and DoL jobs but i obviously run out of money soon and have many seals left
is it worth doing frontline from the daily challenge?
Does it matter which elemental primal i start with DPS wise for summoner? I usually do Garuda,titan, ifrit because the swift cast cooldown lines up when I resummon ifrit.
is my wondrous tales book useless if i don’t turn it in today? i got it on the 11th.
i dont know jack about pvp
Yes
You get two weeks
Titan is slightly better in buffs, otherwise do what ya want
Garuda first is better if you Swiftcast Slipstream to catch raid buffs, otherwise titan
Buy glamour prisms and sell them on the mb, that’s what I do
Thx
i will check that out later, thanks
Hey everyone sorry if this is a dumb question but is the game coming back on sale in like 6 ish hours or 30 something hours or something else entirely? Time zones mess with me and I can never really get em right
Sales are up in about 17 hours, iirc
where is the white/purple scrip turnin for old sharlyan?
i only see the studium deliveries ;x
The front desk in that buildig
The same building. Scrip exchange npc
Oh i see thank you very much
what's on sale?
Nothing yet
hello, does anyone know what this error is?
DirectX error. It's a graphics driver error.
Buuuuuttt... what kind of headphones do you have?
Because the easiest fix has to do with changing an audio setting with certain bluetooth headsets.
oh im using a wired headset
Ah, yeah, you can try restarting the launcher or using the 3rd party launcher to launch with DX9 if you keep getting the error.
i've gotten all my crafters to L70. from here on out are there alternatives faster than GC turn ins? seems like they only provide half a level now even when HQ, if the request isn't starred

can anybody help me queue for low lvl dng?
Just use duty finder?
i am a dps so its super slow
So wait, do something else in the meantime
Play a tank and you will be right
i am leveling monk
Then that's a personal problem.
Hello, is there a way to make me not run in circles when pressing A and D when using legacy type movement?
hey can you use the beast tribe mount in quests that require it?
I mean if I have the kongomato unlocked, can I use that for the quest or I have to use the one given by the NPC?
You get one from the quest
I know
