never did trusts before
You just load into the dungeon and they're your party members
and you do the dungeon like normal
Only difference between scenario /msq trusts and normal trusts is in scenario you can only use certain ppl like first shb dungeon you can use Lyna , normal trusts you can use all the scions
Can I change facial hair with the salon person?
yes and no
facial hair falls under facial features which in turn are tied to the face you choose
you can change facial features at the aesthetician but you can not change the face itself
so your options are limited to the face you chose at character creation/last time you used a fantasia
The joys of being hrothgar but it’s your hair 
(add to that the new midlander stubble, which is its own face and not even a facial feature)
GP 400
I'm going to assume this is what I use to chop wood
What's the best to lvl a dps from 87-90?
Ktisis Hyperboreia
Gp is just for special actions
Lol
I mean can I just give myself a beard
Go outside gridnia an hit a tree you will understand better
I hit three trees
Gotta talk to your barber
Are there any merits to keep a piece of equpiment at 100% spirit-bound?
No
No
im playing dragoon and I just hit lvl 52 but i dont see the job qyest?
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
Figured, wanted to be sure.
Get to heavensward
ok
Me: hits Lv 5 BTN
Also me: gets upgraded versions of two skills I just got at 3 and 4
Is there any point to keeping the lesser versions?
Yeah, because if only only need a certain amount of gather rate/boon no reason to spend more gp
I know with Black Mage, the lower variant spells buff the higher ones.
What about Arbor Call vs Arbor Call II?
They're different
Read the tips

You can't just tell people that they need to read their tooltips
Can't your help me I'm am level one I don't know lvl up faster
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Job quests when they're available will appear under the MSQ
can i have the same piece of gear with multiple diffrent glamour at the same time?
Roughly since mid December I have constant disconnects (90002) during peak hours up to late at night, playing on Light data center in Germany. I already tried all of the regular solutions for it, but it still persists. Is anyone else encountering this problem currently or did in the past and has an idea? Tried no firewall, turning off Large Send Offload, no detectable packet loss during those moments, checked DNS, reset my router, reinstalled the game...
Use glamour plates yes
ty
Could be an issue with the physical line between you and SE servers, which is out of both of your control
So I just unlocked the churning mists, but I’m close to level 60. Is idyllshire story locked or could I access it now for poetic gear?
Story locked
Locked
Idyllshire is at 58 MSQ
Thank you
You’ll get to Idyllshire at level 58 in the story
Thanks everyone
So if you need better gear for the 60 job quest just hit up the MB and go buy the HQ i255 stuff
Even if it has no other impact on my connection? A bad node as some posts have written on reddit etc then?
I mean, your connection to SE servers would be physically different pathing than your connection to other game servers.
90002s are really unfortunate in that regard.
Just wanted to check with that question. It is really frustrating to be repeatedly get kicked out during a single boss fight and even worse at the end of it and not be eligible for any reward.
yeah, yeah it is
Still thanks for the reply
Today I recently ran out of allowances for my leves, how much longer do I need to wait for it to go back up to 100? Since 3 = every 12 hours?
(100 / 3 ) * 12
16-17 days
err cycles
two hundred days, good god
lol
Go sleep buddy XD
are apartments the same size/structure in all cities?

Same size, but the support beams/doors will be different
anyone know if theirs any non jobgear locked gloves with multiple rings? kinda like the 80 or 89 black mage job gloves
As in all-class gear?
yeah
Then no :/
rip, thought so :(
Closest is maybe the SHB y’shtola outfit
that's the mog station one right?
.> showing off the wrong hand
i can vaguely see what you mean tho
Are there any relatively minimalistic and good looking headgear glams (like red brightlily corsage for example)?
I'm fond of the Ghost Barque headgear for fending, myself. It's just some beads hanging from the left side of your hair.
I like it, exactly the type of stuff I have in mind! (not quite high enough level for it yet though haha) Thank you! Still looking forward for more if anyone knows any, finding good shoes and headgear is pretty hard lol
Some do. I just worked on it pushing through content when I felt like it.
I actually didn't skip all of them, either. Different races/genders have differing facial expressions, and it makes for a neat alternate look sometimes.
Like, my femra is typically way more facially emotive than my male elezen, so I get a lot of good looks from her, but every now and then he has an expression that's just perfect.
Playing hw gets you see neat lines , lala for dwarves and doing healer quest b4 meeting them is some examples
As a drg
a lot of us do, yeah
So you wannabe a lala 
I have theories why their implementation diverged so drastically from their concept art, but .... none of it is germane to this channel.
Unless the intended destination is classified as congested, yes.
No, I just want to be a slightly shorter femra
Hey
Only cost is leaving things like FCs and housing.
And if you transfer to a New/Preferred server, you're stuck there for a bit. I can't remember if it's 30 or 90 days cooldown, but I'm sure someone here can correct me.
Q: can I exchange white crafter scripts to Purple?
A: no
😦 ok ,..thanks
Can't your help me level up I'm am level one
Do the story, that carries you to endgame
Well do you want to save time or money
Pick your poison
Then you level all crafting and gathering together
And gather your own stuff
Yes
No exceptions
Cause you need mats from all crafters and gatherers
You can't just pick one
Do beast tribe ixal , make money gain exp gain rep story sounds like all wins to me
We’ve told you like 5 times, just play the video game and you level
That guys still at it jebus
(Too hard for them apparently)
Just started can I be boosted… no bugger off
boosted wont do anything cuz msq unless its actual boosts lmfao
The only way you can possibly be level 1 having just started the game is if you don't even complete the first quest you're forced to do.
That person is quite special to say the least
Which means that nobody can even see you.
Literally you cannot do anything else except that one quest and wander around a deserted instance between the entrance to the city you start in and the adventurer's guild in that city.
You can't see other players. You can't even access the main aetheryte of the city.
Legit just read the quest, go to area
Not rocket science
Do you honestly think they will listen it’s been what 3-4 days now or do you need to translate it in French for them
Not even that helps
Isn't that the person who was DMing people the other day too?
is there way to go from 60-70 quickly?
this is on my main
oki
Leveling dungeon spam for alts.
Heaven on high of its alt job

what lvl should i be for soloing the first deep dungeon?
Max Aetherpool
Or near-max
In terms of the easiest classes to do it with, probably Red Mage, Machinist, and Warrior.
how do i verify my kupo profile?
You need to use the command !iamverify in #kupo-bot-spam and then you copy and paste the link dmed to you into your lodestone profile. Then you use the command again
can f2p change lodestone profile?
Trial players can’t interact with their lodestone page
Why can't I trade in Rarefied Marron Glace? I've already made one with (what I assume to be) a good amount of colletcability
Too low level
Level up abit
You need to be that level of the collectible to turn it in
Just use any dummy
Yes, you unlock it in radz-at-han
Enter a instance unsync
forgot the name
Well if you want the savage and ex dummies
Not really
you unlock it in radz
<@&100464652139368448> Are we ever getting voice chat back?
Everytime someone asks, I extend the closure by a week /s
Its still being worked out
Thanks, was just curious.
One day

are submarines worth leveling up at this point if youve just started an FC?
yup in FC workshop

how much xp does frontline give at 88?
Is party finder cross server?
Yup
As long as they're in the same server cluser (E.g. Primal, crystal) They're able the party with you
It varies
approx
daily - half a level-ish
if you've done your leveling/msq/ar roulette, defo one of the better thing to do compared to spamming dungeon
besides hats is there a way to toggle the visibility of your gear?
does anyone here mind telling me if I'm close to endwalker ive jsut started ||"allisaie's quest"||
19 MSQs
Can a Kardion target receive healing from each active Eukrasian Dosis II or is it only one per combat encounter?
Thank you!
Not toggle as such, no. But you can make gear in various slots "invisible" by glamouring the Emperor's New {gear piece} over the specific piece of gear.
It's once per edosis cast
And it only heals on the application
Each subsequent dot tick won't heal more
oh it doesn't heal per dot tick? got it
Ye, not a regen
thank you!
God, I wish tho
The Dragon's Neck
What is this?
Hildibrand
why can't i join any of the voice channel?
Read the pins in #600335165134471181
ok, thank you
Hey, can you change the order in which your gear sets appear without deleting said gear sets?
Like I wanna organize them in order from which one I levelled first, but when I try to like drag and drop classes, it just gives me the icons to put on my hotbar
Right click
Yooo thank you
Sadly
Only way to do it that I know of
I'm dumb

All store stuff is mailed to you in time
and received a ballroom book
Just be patient
with the feathers
Account wide stuff takes longer generally
well i assumed i got it because it said thank you for your purchase
Just like normal mail, it has to travel
Where's this? Checked all the locations already for Labyrinthos
Got it. Thanks 🙂
Chocobo cure hereditary
Keep or breed?
I would settle for nothing less than 20 stars
endurance especially is important to have maxed
All bosses have an enraged attack?
is /way not a thing in ff14? to create a waypoint?
All extreme and savages yes
But for dungeon normal trial + raid and alliance raid, only some of them have it and usually a mid fight dps check than enrage type of thibg
ctrl+right click on the map to place a waypoint, link it in chat with <flag>
ah darn so I have to guess where it is I see thanks
I was trying to follow this guide for Eureka cuz idk where to find the next quest or what im supposed to do 😅
which map
im like in the first area
oh sweet thanks
is it worth trying to get cool glamours at a low level
every glamour on youtube i see has like a level 70+ requirement
You can’t glam them until you reach the appropriate level so like...
im lvl 17 but dont know what to get
i guess my question is like
is there anything good at a low level
Event gear
how do i get that
..do the event
By doing events, like for instance that Halloween event that ended 3 days ago
heaps of level 1 glams on marketboard
marketboard?
Oh yeah the dream gear
whats that
Christmas clothes

no I mean glam outfits
like y'know urban coat etc
crafted glams with level 1 equip requirement.
The Marketboard is found in every main city
it's the player market
ok
I just mentioned the dream set because it’ll probably be cheap to get
i have 10k gil that someone gave to me lol
that's not enough to buy anything
damn
play the MSQ
Hello! I hope this is an okay place to post this. I'm kind of new to posting on reddit and I'm not sure why, but I keep getting "Please fix the above requirements" in red when I try to post in the FFXIVRecruitment subreddit. Has anyone ever come across this? I am so confused. 😅 I get the same thing when I try to save a draft too.
at level 15 you can do hall of the novice for an ok looking armour set
👍
You haven’t done what was stated in the posting rules
I went through the rules post and I think I am following all of them. I included a flair with the server. Although not included in the rules I read, does the subreddit require the user to have a certain amount of karma to post? I just tried posting a comment in the FFXIV reddit and even there, it says "Something went wrong" but doesn't give any hints as to what. 😭
what key is it to open the action menu
p by default
thx
Stone Vigil (Hard) first boss
How the fuck do I keep him from not getting damage ups
He keeps fucking oneshotting me when I'm trying to do it solo synced as BLU for Diamondback
So im wanting to do Drk, but i seem to be having trouble. I wanna enjoy the class and i do know it's rotations, but it seems so hard to play due to its limited abilities
What's the JP name of Chaotic Spring?
What do you mean limited abilities. What level is your drk currently?
Aware it's probably "<insert adjective> Cherry Blossom" like Chaos Thrust, I'm just trying to make sense of the akh morn-esque pillar of light from it XD
Its one of the busier tanks maybe behind gumbreaker
Of course you won’t have all your abilities
^
I have played all the tanks, and bascially i enjoy warrior mainly but drk knight has an aura i enjoy
I know
One of the few key skills of DRK unlock 68 onwards
But in the way of like staying alive
TBN
I have a problem of doing that
!action the blackest night
Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow
All thanks have similar amounts of mitigation
Just that drk has 1 thats specific to magical damage
Wariior has like, a bunch of defensives
1 single 1 party wide *
You can also place that on another party member
Again you’re lvl 58
And you don't have TBN which is critical for drk
You don’t have the “good shit”
Not that its unplayable without
XD alright. Its just i ran a dungeon and i kept dying to a lot of thigns even with popping cds
and someone yelled at me to bring potions into the dungoen
So you have like your 30% mit and rampart
but i rarly see drks, and it makes it think like no one wants em XD
False
Drks are everywhere 
I mainly see warriors and paladins
DRK has/had the highest damage out of the tanks in 6.0
and few gnbs
- its the cool ass edgy big sword tank for new players
- at end game, it currently has the highest damage out of the tanks
Because you're doing low level content my guess is
Of course they're gonna be filled with more PLD and WARs
Still you can get people in rollos
I guess i will try and get back into it XD im waiting for gf to finsih shadow
then imma work on rpr i think with her. that or mch
Oh one more thing
do i need to use flamethrower at all in rotation with mch
Or the overdrive
It’s damage
thats the thing that always confused me
Releases the energy building in your firearm, causing it to become Overheated, increasing the potency of single-target weaponskills by 20.
Duration: 8s
Heat Gauge Cost: 50
Overheated effect only applicable to machinist job actions.
I thought it was important XD
It there if you’re about to hit invulnerable phases
But you can if
- the boss is going invuln
- the enemies are gonna die before it goes off
Ah ok
Thats about it i think. Anywhooo, back to drk i suppose
is 3rd circle savage the hardest one
brilliant
The last fight is always the hardest
I haven't did 3rd or 4th. But just looking at mechs, 3rd is hard because its an absolute nightmare in PF
Difficulty in savage fights goes up each floor In a tier
If you're in a static, 3rd wouldn't be too hard compared to 4th
1 and 2 were easy
It is however a sizeable difficulty jump from 2nd circle
idk if 3 is super hard or my team is bad
First two fights are always easy
tight windows i suppose
Are you in a static or using pf
3 is a jump, 4 is another jump
static but nothing till tuesday so im gonna try clear 3 and 4 in pf befor ethen
If you're using PF, its gonna be rough
First fight is an introduction to the tier, second picks up slightly, 3rd is the big jump and 4th is the top
yeah well thats the pf experience haha
3rd is what a 3rd tier fight SHOULD be like
can someone help idk why my hand item is not off me
All the 3rd fights In shadowbringers were zzzzz
So im trying to also do the side stuff like void ark and everything on the materia sever but like
they are dead
You didn’t have anything in the glove slot...so it’s unaffected
Also click the glove slot to show glove items
i dont want anything on the glove slot
Put emperor’s gloves there if you want it invisible
aight
Not having anything on the plate just means it won't attempt to glamour it
Leaving the equipment as is
do i get the gloves from the market?
You can
im not a crafter
The 15 crafter method is cheaper overall
why do i hear drums in Eureka? :o
Honestly, getting even a single Level 15 crafters is easy.
66 Gil as opposed to about 500 gil + tax
Just buy materials from the vendor at the guild and go down the crafting list.
Plus, leveling crafters will save you money in the long-term.
As you won't need to pay to meld.
And repairing your own gear becomes cheaper with Dark matter.
104
Since it adds +100% durabiltiy to your gear rather than simply repairing to 100%.
hes on aether
It says crystal on his role
Wait never mind they just did a dumb
is there any way to practice my rotation without CD?
I switched to this channel and had no context for this message
I just thought, "Dragoon hotkeys? Yeah sounds about right"
Not without doing goofy instance zoning shenanigans
aww man thanks
so the GC says I need to complete rank I of the hunting log in order to be promoted to the next level but i'm already on rank 5 so i'm not sure what to do...

There’s a separate log
where do i find the other log?
It’s the brightly-colored picture
Me: does A5N
Lightning tower: does multiple AoEs that killed us all barely a minute into the fight
What happened here?
huh?
the purple rod in the middle of hte room was doing raidwides? wot
Do you know how each class has a separate log?
yep
Press the one that has the brightly-colored GC logo
oh! i didn't know that was a seperate log lol
from what i remember it's the boss doing a raidwide u can avoid if u do mechs right
isnt that wat the boost bird thing was
That’s the potion boss
I have a question: if i completed all Hall of the Novice quests, does it remove the green plant on my name?
You gotta power up the dispensers by standing near the tower so you can do the mechanics as they appear
!faq sprout
The
or 'sprout' indicates that you are a new adventurer in the game and is only automatically removed when you have met the following criteria: 300 hours of playtime and completed the main scenario quest Death Unto Dawn.
The icon can also be manually removed by typing /nastatus off into your chat. This isn't typically recommended as it helps other players gauge your progress into the game.
many thanks
for PS players renewing their subs, can you do it on the PS store or do you have to do it online
Mogstation as usual
Trying to buy a sub but I get an error (-24202) no matter the platform and it removes a dollar for pending, what should I do?
That’s a Test charge, be patient
Ohhh, so basically they’re just confirming it? In that case if it does get confirmed the money not used will be returned?
Yeah test charges like that happen all the time for online purchases to make sure it's a legit payment method basically
Did I possibly mess stuff up? I tried it multiple times so there’s 4 pending (luckily I only had 20 dollars in the card)
I posted this in the rant section but maybe someone here can help or has had the same problem:
Im trying to play the game. I bought it 3 days ago after going through the grueling process of figuring out how to even purchase the game. After waiting a couple hours, i never got my game code so I emailed customer support and they said it will take up to 48 hours, well here we are 72 hours later with no game code or email confirmation, but the charge was taken from my bank account. Customer "support" hasnt replied for the last day. Is there a live chat or something??****
It’s the weekend
what is AM?
Did u purchase on Square enix store
Yes @solemn jewel
Is there anything under "my order" in the square enix store account tab
Nothing.
There is nothing at all. The payment was processed and I was charged though, this was 24 hours ago. Customer service isnt replying to me and i was told to contact them if the payment went through with no email confirmation.
Yes I was logged in. I watch multiple Youtube videos to even figure out how to buy the thing
Videos to buy the game? It ain't that hard
Nah, its pretty tedious
yeah, mine was straight forward 👀
And how long ago did you buy it?
And like I said it’s the weekend, they’re not gonna immediately answer back
I bought it in june, store didn't change
You enter store, buy complete, enter code
Anywho
Look how it looks on Monday and then ask support if it didn't change
You make a log in for 4 different websites, buy the correct edition, wait at least 3 hours but no more than 48 for a code. You dont recieve code. You contact support. No help. Yeah my guy, pretty tedious.
goodbye
Guys, just bought ff14 and gonna replay MSQ because I heard SEA servers are up, as someone who lives in SG how are the DCs in OCE?
yeah, as long as the server is preferred/new, you could claim it
no SEA server
!faq checkping
how does it compare to tonberry

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*
try it yourself
Auto marker, add on for Titan gaols
!checkping
well if you can't speak JP and don't want to learn JP, I reckon OCE might be for you
oh, it is claimed not automatic?
It's auto, yeah
thank you!
1 mil is received when you changed area, the 15 days is when you receive the e-mail
make sense, your physical location should be closer to JP than OCE
What i heard is that its worse then jp servers for sg folks
im gonna be redoing my MSQ, i lost my acc and couldnt recover. i stopped at SB
Oce sits in australia i believe
@wispy verge elemental is still better than oce now
bought complete edition
The oce servers in Sydney
wait, 140 from SG? 🤔 I thought SEA got like <100 to JP, lol
Don't really need to. Could help but yea
140 to elemental
i did the ping thing
that makes more sense, lol
And that name bruh @wispy verge 
charming right my name
80 average is me checking ping via wifi
like I connect to elemental from Melbourne, 110 😹
what server do you play on @upper cove
and AU internet is in general much shitter than SG
Unles you on singtel, then tough luck
tonberry is unofficial gaijin server
even after OCE servers are up?
Yes so far
should be less, since majority of AU move to OCE
Only AU people really want to move
I just saw what Google thinks it is, yeesh
A huge chunk of SEA people still has better ping to JP
and probably people in SEA who live closer to AU like ID
@boreal storm its 
hopefully able to just chill and enjoy MSQ again. not looking forward to doing ARR again tho
You do know story skips exist
yeah but i kinda forgot my rotation on dragoon
@wispy verge if you decide to go on elemental, create a character in ton, kujata or carbuncle and in need of an fc, lmk
Nivlek, is FC active? idm joining whichever server ur on
might actually just buy a story skip but im kinda worried i forgot my mechanics. had like 200 hours on dragoon
Its not hard to relearn
And the rotstion probably had changes from.the last time you played. Depending on how long ago was that
it was at least 2 years ago. i quit when SB just came about
was halfway in
i might just buy a story skip all the way till SB
need to check mog station haha
That’s stormblood
(hey quick question: If my friends is a free trail and I'm not- is it still possible that I could play triple triad with them?)

I keep getting a "_ is unable to play triple triad at this time"
question, what is the likelihood that i can get a full party for a ShB savage? btw this is one that doesnt give a mount

question about red mage and sam do i have to go to the dlc area to be able to get the class like how dark knight and machinist are or can i just buy the dlc then go strait to the person and do the quest?
Sam unlock is like 10 feet from the aetheryte
sweet
You do need to have the level requirement tho
isnt it 50?
SAM/RDM yup
im already there so thats all done
Noob here. Trying to do the MSQ but yet again i need a party to enter the dungeon. How many of those MSQ party dungeons are there and how is this acceptable?
Tragic I know
It’s not a single player game.
do hugher lvl players need this dungeon?
or does everyone only do it once
Yes
the point is, why can i not proceed with the msq
“How dare they make me do content”
everyone tells me : just play it like a siingle player rpg, enjoy the msq. well, cant play it
i fcking cant
That’s on them
thats the problem
Yes you can.
i want to
Just wait
tank and healers take about 5 to 7 min and dps only take max of like 15 min to find one so just wait and youll get it done my guy
its really not
so i can only play when everyone else is playing
okay
You can take your bad takes to #rants
Any more of this and I’m gonna mute you because I have no patience for this.
It’s not on topic for this channel.

it’s based on chains, you’re better off breaking the Anemos Crystals from the fates/NMs into packs of proteans
for your sanity, please do not farm proteans from mobs 🙏
no worries im just doing challenge log
was just wondering how often i would get proteans from mobs

@wispy verge
Yeah don’t pay attention to the job skip numbers they aren’t updated for the lvl 80 stuff
hmm
does that mean i have to buy expac + journey to be caught up
fair sum of money
oh the links also need to be fixed
I mean, if you want to be immediately at the endgame, then ... I guess?
But if that's all you want out of the game, then no one can really gainsay you.

updated FAQ.
im still conflicted. because ive played most of the quests before and im not to keen in redo-ing some of the quests
idk if i wanna go thru ARR again
that was such a slog
Yay
@narrow jay do u suggest i just buy all the quest unlocks till where i stopped and just grind up
im not too interested in redo-ing quest
If you want to, it’s your playtime/money
at least that way i get to become familiar with toolkit while grinding
I mean, I don't believe in skips myself haha. If SE drops hrothgals, I'm probably going to end up doing it two more times because I'll most likely make a bnuuyboy to balance out.
So I'm not a great person to ask about that.
you personally rather go thru quests again?
hmm anyone else having some server lags?
NA here, haven't noticed any.
If you do want to look back over the later story stuff, NG+ is a thing
But yeah, I'm used to redoing campaigns on alts from playing other MMOs, where you have to do that if you want to play a new class.
Here, the only reasons to make alts are for flavor, really, like if you're into RP, or (like me) you just want to explore different race appearances and don't want to use fantasias constantly; or if you want to play with people on different datacenters/in different regions, which will also become unnecessary in the future (at least possibly, as far as regions are concerned).
Ultimately only you can decide whether or not it’s worth you paying for
nodnod
im just gonna get a MSQ skip and power level via dungeons or something i really cant bring myself to quest again lol
money isnt an issue
its just more on what i might be missing out
Know that that’ll cause you to level at half pace on your first job because you won’t have armoury bonus
well I mean level skips are also a thing, if money isn't an issue lol
You could start on a OCE server, but ping could be a issue
Use road to 80 to lessen the load
true ill be leveling at an abysmal rate
X is the highest materia we'll have all of EW right? And will the folklore mats still be used in more recipes?
you know how your gear gets synced down when entering eureka? does the gear level sync get shorter the more you level up or is it recommended to get the eureka gear?
Yes and yes though future tiers of recipes will have new folklore mats added
Still from the same folklore books though
What do you mean by shorter…?
It’ll always be that sync lvl
ok thanks
Eureka gear with the elemental bonus is very powerful within eureka
But that’s just the Kirin osode/vermillion cloak, the elemental gear+2, and the physeos weapon
Two of which require Baldesion Arsenal materials
oh and about materia: if you're doing transmutes, how many X do you need to make an X?
Doesn’t really work like that
yeah so basically what I was asking is if the distance between the gear's item sync level to its actual item level would get shorter sorry for the confusion
It’s RNG whether transmutation upgrades a materia, and more RNG that it’ll be something you want
When transmuting, the resulting materia will be equal grade to the lowest grade materia used in the transmutation, with a small chance to be one higher.
So any mixture of 9s and 10s will likely give a 9, with a small chance to give a 10
If you transmute five 10s however you are guaranteed a 10
Exact chances aren’t well documented
If your gear is getting higher level outside of eureka then the distance between the sync and your actual gear is getting longer
By definition
oh hmm so more 9 doesn't mean more chance? I guess piety X might be best choice then
You can’t have anything lower than a 9 in the pool if you want to try to get 10s
I misread, thought it was about pentamelding, lol
actually screw it ill replay all the mainstory
we abandoned aurum vale (easy), i was ninja others were paladin astro and bard
might play a completely different class though
me and ast was lv47 the others were 49
was our vote abandon reasonable?
assume i have 225ms ping (btw sidenote we wiped at locksmith like 24 times)
If you wiped that many times on the first boss, then I'd say it was warrented
What’s up with your ping?
my friends play on famfrit but im all the way in asia
funny thing is my friend's FC banned me anyways
That'll do it
and i dont wanna pay to change worlds (and never see my friernd again - they are still nice to me)
Cough cough OCE
You eat one of the fruits around the room when you get 2 stacks of the debuff
Sometimes you can get 3, depending on the healer
i already put up doton whenever it isnt up and use suiton trick attack whenever possible then use raiton if i still have stacks left

i can get away with 3 but sometimes my closest fruit that i camp on gets stolen
There's two against the walls close to the entrances, and two closer to the boss iirc
Then you need to look around and find another. You need to adjust for things like that
difficult for high ping cuz even turning my camera spikes my GPU to 100%
its either i camp on a fruit or i dont get a fruit
basically yeah
it takes 2 minutes to walk from the starting point to the boss after all trash is cleared
Dunno what to tell ya then, other than communicate with the party and mark them or something
also shortcuts exist
It literally doesn’t tho?
on your pc it doesnt
You just hug the wall, go back to the boss room
Yeah, after clearing a boss, there's a shortcut interactable at the start of the dungeon that will take you to the exit to the boss room.
It takes you farther for each boss.
but uh
Eat your fruit at two or three stacks of goldlung, don't stand in the ugly stuff or the aoe stuff, and that should be about it
Not overpulling the first trash room is the hardest part of Aurm.
tank was being pog and keopt stunning the aoes so we had a slightly easier time
It's their ping that seems to be making things difficult
And maybe check that your gear isn't like twenty levels out of date
i remember using LB then getting oneshot to death cuz the animation took too long XDDD
just in case
i use uh dazmale darkhold gear + ninjob gear
LB on locksmith? Yeesh
Aurum is 47 so you should at least have your 45 job gear.
No weapon, just the chest
There's a chest that gives you a nearly identical job gear appearance set, but is a complete set of i90
it was added retroactively to smooth out the leveling process iirc
should i try to hardgrind to 50 then get storm second lieutenant
so as soon as you get your 50 chestpiece, you can just toss that whole set in the armoire and use the i90 set
cuz i feel like atm its just a waste of time
Nah, you should still be able to beat Aurum as you are.
That wouldn’t really do anything for you?
Just gotta pay attention to Goldlung stacks (and Brambles in the third boss, they do the same thing) and eat your fruit when appropriate.
and don't stand in the nasty
judicious use of mitigations and also not standing in the shit
If an aoe field goes out, the tank should move out of it
avoidable damage should be avoided
Just because you can take more damage doesn't mean you should be taking all the damage that exists.
Eating avoidable damage is how you drain your healer resources and stop getting party heals.
It’s just 3 bosses, and the gimmick is the same. Eat fruit, remove debuff
to receive 0 chests from a savage, how many people have beaten it in that group?
5-8
so if 5 people have beaten it, no chests
correct
Is there a standard list of recommended dailies/weeklies for people grinding combat levels?
I haven’t been able to play for months now so i can’t test this myself but in this rdm opener how do i guarantee a proc for the verstone in the 12th gcd? Doesn’t the acceleration in the 1st gcd only proc verfire for the 10th gcd?
Or do you basically just do challenge log
!faq altlvlguide
If it's your main job, pushing MSQ will give you the fattest XP gains, and you'll need to knock it out to access job quests for your job skills as well.
Thank you for your help. I’ve finished EW with a paladin, so I’ll focus on the alternate options.
It's forced with Verholy, since your Black Mana state should be higher than your White Mana state when you cast Verholy.
Ahh thank you!
can you get spirit bond gathering crystals?
What should you spend Aphorisim on?
Gear or mats, only options
Holy fck that is actually your UI in dungeons
What the fuck
I thought you switch HUDs when out of combat HAHAHA
Also what are those macros
change job macros
and "fake ninjutsu" macos
i only click them if i panic
which i dont really panic anymoprecuz i found the trick to remembering ninuutsu
only the ending and length matters
No these
yeah these are fake ninjutsu only there to tell me the order of the ninjutsu
i only need a glance at these and i know what i need to cast to use them
the timing is weird so even if iclick it it just miscasts
/wait 1 doesnt work well with ninjutsu
Shield heals, place the buff on the guy and they heal from your dps
Other things...
Yeah, that's why I am asking. The gear isn't useful since I can just buy better hear from the board. So just wondering if any of the materials are more valuable than the others.
And whether people are buyin
What's the minimum level to hand in Wondrous Tales? For gaining exp I mean
also someone teach me how to play RTS with my storm NPC buddies
Don't recall a min level. But it gives 50% exp of whatever level you are on. So typically you want to give it to your highest level @lethal mist
4 days from storm 3rd pvt to 2nd ltn 0w0
Thing is, I have half level 90, one at 89 (soon 90) and the rest at like 10. Not sure it'll work for the lowbobs...
It will but that’s a HUGE waste
Any.
Well if I have nothing else what are my choices? Either level 10, 30 (Astro or Dark Knight minimum) or waste it anyway 
But yeah, I wouldn't use it on any job below 50 personally.
Half a level when you haven’t even hit 50? Not worth
Especially not below 30.
Below 30 you can bust out your hunting log and job quests and a few dungeons.
Guess I should level something before tuesday then... Just so fucking boring to level below 50 cause no dailies.
I mean yeah
Well, Leveling at 16 but that's hardly much
you ain't wrong
Highest dungeon
PotD is also pure cancer for how boring it is and "highest dungeon" can get meh. I guess I'll have to just power through the pain, thanks
But yeah, XP gain from WT is scaled to be half a bar for whatever level you're turning it in on.
So it's quite valuable.
And you can hold one from two weeks since you picked it up, so there's no rush to turn it in unless it expires Tuesday.
You got time to grind out whatever you need to make it more worthwhile.
But I can't grab a new one before I hand in the old one, right?
But if you want to get your next WT immediately, you have to turn it in
Correct.
Just dungeons once you unlock that of course

hey for the eureka challenge log it says no more than two elemental levels below you im currently group with a EL 19 would that affect that level cuz they're like 10 lvls above me?
Curious if anyone knows, is there a way to purchase the ps4 version for someone digitally?
tried on the ffxiv website, but it connects to my account so I assume that'd be buying myself a copy
No, it’s tied to your PSN account
okay that's what I figured
ok
a book that can be bought with seals
guess ima just try to hire every role so that i have at least one of each
if you want to swap to a certain jobs, buy the respective books
You kinda need diversity so you can do the missions
every role has their stats speciality
if you look up at the roster, each squad has their own stats
you need to combine the numbers to meet the mission requirements
You can’t reach captain if you don’t meet all the stat requirements for 3 specific missions
At lvls 20, 40, and 50
i see
btw i think i might have played myself
i done all the chall;enges that are feasibly completable by me
before unlocking squad
so now i am stuck with 3 people
and no new recruitioment letters
Reset is on Tuesday
is there a point after base game msq the xp goes back to being really good
any post expansion instance/quest are like this
so you'll get more exp again when you reached HW
Gave 0 exp when it was current, now it gives next to nothing
Hello, so I'm new and am trying the game for the first time and it doesn't appear to be letting me create a character it says all the severs are not accepting new characters?
join different data center
ur prolly in congested center
ocenia is your best bet
since its new (meaning less player count) and offers new account bonuses
Can’t pick anything in aether
Will i still be able to play with my friends who are in Aether?
Nope
that defeats the whole point of playing this game lol
yeh, the only way is to wait
wait for people to log out or is it a lock that they have to release kinda thing?
The latter. A number of people have to transfer out of Aether servers if they are to open them up again.
i'm assuming that transferring to different data centers is going to cost money?
In most cases, yes, sadly.
only time it doesn't is when a world is set to "New" iirc, dunno about "Preferred"
Congested to preferred is free
Its possible to use ones breed racing chocobo as a companion right? if so, how? I seem to remember I did that last time I breed a racing chocobo.
Does heavenward or any other expansion have as many fetch quests as ARR?
No
i think post-arr is an anomaly
post is usually a little bad though cuz it's patches
Oh thank god. I just beat ARR and am now in HW hearing that makes me feel relieved. 🙂
@boreal storm Hm weird. I could have sworn I used my breed racing chocobo as a companion years ago.
whats the most efficeint way to level up chocobo
Patch quests are half as long, base msq is slightly less
assume i dont have gardening
Just have it out, fight things near your lvl
I think dungeons are good for xp
Is there a way to find out some in-game descriptions about settlements or landmarks that we visit?
Seen a lot of lvl 80’s leveling up from doing dungeons on my level.
I know there is a wiki with short info about them but I would like to find out in-game, sometimes I get some info from NPC but it is bothersome to talk with everyone...
Sightseeing log
hmm, sightseeing log is quite limited. It is shame that we don't have some in-game codex about that because locations are beautiful and nicely designed, but I don't feel connected with them.
wow
this is the smaartest use of UI placement
i've ever seen
JP players
lol
Is this a question, or.....
The non-blue side quests in a region tend to have a lot of info about the region. They don't give anywhere near relevant experience, so they're not good for leveling, but if you're interested in the area lore, they can be engaging.

You can turn on/off hotbars—and fiddle with other settings like size, transparency, orientation, and location—in the HUD Layout section of the Settings menu. Then just assign skills where you want and adjust keybinds as needed in the Keybind section.
Go to hotbar settings and turn them on
👌
Does anyone have an estimate on how long it will take to get to level 90 and use endgame jobs such as Gunbreaker?
Ah I see, thank you
level 90 really depends on the pace you take to progress story, if you steamroll it you'll probably reach it in less than 250h
for my personal one i have over 600 hours yet im only at the start of Shadowbringers (level 70) because i get distracted with side content a lot, which honestly you should do some before Endwalker as recommended by people anyway
Another small question, what expansion is Rathalos in?
Stormblood.
how do you people find comms to gather / crafter for gil
i finally have mine leveled up to 80~88 but no idea how to find work
I hope it's not too late, but how long does the free transfer to oce last unless i've missed the time period already?
SE hasn't set an end date. This is the only thing they've said officially.
Most people just put what they make on the MB
do people do pazuzu on anemos or do they just farm proteans for the feather
do the feathers even drop even tho below elemental lvl
nope
proteans it is then
is there any way to reject a friend request? it only says yes or wait
you have to decline from the friends list
right click and it should have a decline button
thank you
pain
thats neat
i sure hope it is
if you macro your mudras, why.
