yeah, but for using nuts, only ShB and EW, right?
yes
the only need for continously doing S-ranks then is getting currency for buying materia then?
can I send letters w/ items to other people on different worlds?
after buying some mounts/minion per expansion hunt vendor
assuming you bought all of the cosmetic stuff already and have the achievements
hmm so if I want to give someone items I gotta trade then
you could just add them as a friend and then go to their world and send the mail
im pretty sure
tried using delivery moogle on diff world, said didn't work
then trade them
thing is, said person I want to trade is currently offline for a while
so I was just wondering if I could give them items w/o being online at the same time
if youre on diff worlds then you cant
mmm
Yeah, I don't believe you have access to the postmoogle while world visiting.
is there a Sage and Reaper relic from Bozja?
what lvl do i get my first mount?
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Maybe silly question. I currently play on PS5. I’d like to also play on my Mac. My TV resolution / dimensions are very different than that of my Mac. What’s that gonna do to my HUDs? Would loading it up on my Mac do unholy things to my meticulously refined PS5 HUD?
That is EXCELLENT! Thank you!! ♥️
What do I do with low tier materia? Is it possible to stick together somehow into higher tier materia?
sell on the mb
Materia Transmutation is a thing but it’s pretty unreliable and is a net negative of 4 materia
Can be worth doing, you can turn your combat materia into crafting materia which is a lot more valuable
Especially when you have tenacity and piety materia which are fairly worthless
Chuck em in the roulette
So if you put in SKS, SPS, tenacity, piety and det
You will not get those from the transmutation (iirc you can if it gets upgraded to a higher tier)
Is lv80 max retainer lvl?
Are lv90 retainers better for quick venture than lv80s?
Yeah they’ll bring back stuff from that higher level range
iirc, the items they can bring back is also dependent on their equipped gear, so being max level will allow them to put on the best gear they can use, and will have a higher chance of greater rewards
Does gear matter for the quick ventures?
yes, better gear means better chance at rarer items
Better gear means a higher chance for better rewards
how do we get lockboxes?
let's say Eureka and GC
Eureka lockboxes are from Notorious Monster FATEs or from certain mob farms in Eureka. Different lockboxes for different zones and methods.
GC lockboxes are bought from your GC for 20K seals each and require you to have the rank of captain to buy them
They contain a random tradeable minion or mount
ARR/HW from one
SB from the other
is there any way for me to complete the crafting log while knowing which item gives completion progress?
They have checks if you’ve made the item before, pretty sure
I believe that everything on your normal recipe list counts toward the achievement
Furniture, dyes, master recipe stuff, etc, all of those on the other list, don't. These recipes don't get check marks
Do you need to accept/find hunt mark bills for A or higher rank marks?
no
No
A and S ranks don't have bills
What's the going rate to pay someone to help me level my blue mage by killing monsters in the over world?
You can just ask and someone could help for no charge
I'll ask around in game then, but thank you
i'd spitball around 100k for 1-70 but tbh you can try a lower price
I'll give it a shot, thank you Paragon! Even if i get an offer for free I'd still want to pay at least something because it's their time and i have limited time as is
can quick ventures drop wolf mark stuff?
nah
too bad
oh by the way, when people say to spam aetherochemical research facility for poetics, what do they mean? queue for it synced? make a premade?
queue through DF
ARF drops 150 per clear, and many players only do it the once since theres no glam or w/e
so it could be 250 per clear if you get a first-time player
so all master recipe doesn't have checks?
I'm fairly sure
Thank you!
I did one of those achievements in Stormblood for my weaver
i've done a bunch of master recipes and none of them got marks

any chance of more balance patches before 6.1? Need some hopium for MCH
no
is the quality of rewards for Quick Exploration based on the retainer's ilv comparing to their lv, because I have been having worse and worse rewards from it than before?
For reaper do I keep casting whorl of death and shadow of death for the status effect
i believe retainer's gear for quick ventures only matters for when the item can become a HQ, if their gear is high enough it becomes HQ
other than that i believe only the actual level of the retainer matters
Yes the debuff should always be maintained, it's literally free damage
I beat floor 100 of PotD. How do I go to the 200th floors?
Used a fixed party
Is there a command for toggling the display emote log message setting so that I can put it in a macro?
Can't use matched
Ah
/emotelog
Do the last bosses of each PotD floor drop aetherpool?
Someone in my group told me that bosses are worth more aether than silver chests 🙄
What's the max amount of aetherpool you can have?
99/99
Also silver chests can be trapped
Yeah, I figured that out the hard way..
How long does it take to rank up the ixals from start to finish?
A while
A month or so, IIRC
wonderful
Really depends on how many allowances you're gonna spend on them
I'll just leave them on backburner, I only became curious because of a TT opponent lol
Later on you can do 6, 9, and even 12 quests per day from them
But it uses up all your allowances for the day, so you can't progress any other beast tribe
Is there a limit to how many clan marks you can accept?
one of each at a time
anyone think siren will be uncongested soon?
I have a friend who wants to make an acc but cant
Not before 6.1 at least
sadge
DPS-wise, who's stronger: Dark Knight or Gunbreaker?

it's pretty close
As is standard for tanks
Technically DRK, but it's not gonna matter imo
so just go with whichever you think is cooler
but drk edges out
it's like 80 dps
at max%
40 at 99
stupidly small diff
- it don't matter if you don't vibe with either playstyle

How do you deal with Fireball/Iceball on Turn 9 solo if you don't have enough DPS to skip that part
you come back when you have enough dps
I see
Is it possible to save your keybindings and bar layouts and such to use on all of your characters?
Is there any downside at all to transferring character to a different server other than losing housing/free company?
friend list if its a different dc
Aighty, ty
how does chitinous reversal work?
does it reverse all the trace, or just the first, or alternates?
it pops the aoes in reverse order
When a new alliance raid is released, are the drops based on a token system or loot drops?
loot drops
you get a coin for clearing it once a week which is used to upgrade tome gear
but the alliance raid gear is one piece per week and every boss drops 2 pieces so you'll have to run it a few times if you want a specific piece
I transferred to Oceania servers, do I need to do something to claim the gil and xp rewards?
I see, so depending on rng, you may have to run it multiply times?
"aim to clear"
means that party wants people who know the mechs and want to push for the clear
ffxiv is crashing with no error for me
it just opens and stays black and then closes
i've reinstalled
and updated drivers
The EXP is automatic, can’t remember for the Gil.
Might come to you in the moogle mail
is toxicon only a single-heal and doesn't get affected by kardia?
Toxicon deals AoE damage, and AoE only applies Kardia once per cast
Ty ♥
soo, toxicon doesn't do more healing if you cast it on multiple mobs?
Also those are DLL files, which may have been modified by other programms and because of that become error prone

since, toxicon says it has a "Cure Potency" of something.
and that is a one time heal
The potency is taken per cast
Same as dosis and phlegma
ok, kinda dissapointed by that then
i thought sage was gonna like "heal more the more you do damage"
Would be scuffed balancing around that. Either the heal would be useless in single target fights like bosses or completely busted during multi target phases like trashpulls or adds I imagine
Sage provides healing while using casts for damage, thats the basic principle
help? It first happened when I entered limsa for the first time in a while. Cant log in game since
for the last boss of first EW dungeon, what happens if you kill bosses out of order? stuck at 1 hp?
wait rip, there's an order?
No
yeah, 1.2M hp one first, then two 400k hp ones i think
I just killed the first one, then drag the tall to the short one and just aoe them ._.
they spread out constantly
ok wiki says || . Defeat Cinduruva first, as she will revive her fallen sisters. ||
so there's a reason you do highest health one first
the fat one also deal that annoying aoe combo
If anyone knows please tell me
Tower of Zot is probably the hardest levelling dungeon relatively speaking lol
The last boss with all those mechanics flying off everywhere tends to get somebody killed 🙃
transmute orbs do my head in
I’m sure there’s one with a line Fire / donut Fire / with spread out markers at the same time
Some people die then
the first dungeon in the expansion is always like that, the wall to wall mobs also have that multiple giants that cast aoe
always have some trick that somehow wakes you up 😹
Holminster Switch was tricky in ShB but if people played Ghimlyt Dark beforehand it’s quite similar mechanics
Anyone know why I can’t renew my sub? Every time I try to register my card to pay it keeps just taking the service fee out and I can’t actually buy the sub
And lost keep of amdapor hard
I just wanna play man 😭
What's the best way to farm aetherpool after you stop at floor 100? Start again from floor 1 or floor 50?
floor 50
have you tried contacting support yet?
you can pretty much just farm aetherpool on your way down another save
the lower the floor you're on the harder it will be to level up your aetherpool
Oh okay, thanks
Yeah but now I don’t even know how to access my enquires
your enquiries? did they not have an email or something to fill out so you can like, keep in touch with them
Nah it allowed me to submit a ticket sorta thing, and now I don’t know how to get back to it and see if they’ve replied lol
Their website needs some work
mm, yeah, i don't think i know how to help you this much other than this, but i suggest finding if there's any possible emails they use for enquiries so you can at least get back to it
hope ya get your sub soon
Thanks!!
how often does bitter memories drop from bozjan ?
the green one, or should I just do anti tower?...
if you dont have a cluster party you are probably faster with antitower

WHY DOES THE GAME KEEP EQUIPING THE WEATHERED ACCESORIES AAAAA
I have much better gear, why does the auto equip default to that

Main stat, your better gear would do nothing for that job
Damn, even +24 str to a ninja does nothing? Vs a +1 str?
Ninja uses dex
Is there a way to delete my account?
Mogstation
Can't find it on there :p
Hey, i couldnt play for a few weeks. Before that I unlocked the ather currents but basically never used the system. I think I have no Aether compass, do i unlock him slightly after the aether currents or did I lose him ? Is it even an item or an action ?
The big button labeled Cancel service account, under the account status menu
Thanks @hasty magnet
Dosen't delete account though.
Just deactivates it.
Hit a wall literally or figuratively? Lol
if you know there aren't any more mobs further ahead then you can stop at the last pack
if you don't then you can run up to the wall
Said wall doesn’t open until the mobs are dead
most ""modern"" dungeons so like HW onwards have like [2-3 packs, wall, 2-3 packs, boss] x3
Did they reduce the amount of Aether currents you have to collect in old zones ?
yep
Why doesn't one of my hotbars change the stuff in it between jobs?
Shared bar
Because it's not set to share.
How can I disable it
Go to the hotbar settings
ty
Is there some kind of Map for the Aether currents, that shows them clean and also shows the quests you have to do ? Heavenswhere does this good, but it isnt changed and still shows all old curents in Heavensward and is therefore not really usable
just spam your aether compass?
It’s just 4 currents, won’t be hard to find
Anyone know what music is being played at the Mik Khetto ampitheatre during this Valentine's day event?
That’s just the valentoines theme
It’s called the kiss, I guess. Buyable on cash shop
oohhh

Does ninja feel a little weird to play or is it only me?
Hell if I know
A little weird is just about the most subjective description you can give
I'm leveling all alts
All jobs are different
Ninja pushes a lot of buttons
Also every class with the exception of warrior (to me at least) feels really awful in the leveling process until around 60-64.
I didn’t really enjoy ninja (and quite a few other jobs) until level 60.
Yeah, the way the kits are paced out is .... odd, to me.
I liked the ninja from the moment I got the 3rd mudra
You mean the third combinations?
yeah
doing coils and one of the cutscenes is a blank white screen with no sound...
anyone have this happen before?
I wanted my lore 
your lore is oblivion 😌
oh I found out
Is it the one after T12?
Oh lol
Yeah
The game doesn't run on linux
Not natively
And all the workarounds are stop gaps
Brb
@shadow stag here you go
Left out ain't exactly the right word
oh man am I glad I thought "yeah I'll watch this later" when I came across that
It wasn't the same thing that played on the arr starting screen at least
different
the exact part that's new is this https://youtu.be/1xOOFCltZuc?t=335
timestamped
yeah
Full video also works if you want the refresher on context
Answers is some good shit
gah youtube quality is so poop

for lvl cap dungeons, is there any way to farm the armor other than just pray to RNG that i get the piece?
Sadly you can only pray to RNGesus
hope there's a crafted version that shares model :d
is there a way to check that on the lodestone?
Garlandtools
oooo i'll check that out thanks!
uhh how do i get Steel Amalj'ok?
in the chat box you can see i turned in 3 beast tribe quest for them
gotta rank up them up
but i didnt get any :<
o
rip no fashion report for me then XD
thank you for explaining it 🙂
I don’t see anything that required those on the fashion report but okay
currant purple but they could just get it off mb
The beast-tribe exclusive dyes aren’t craftable
Hmm
I know why I thought that now
Snow white and soot black are craftable
So I just assumed...
outside of the elemental armor, what armor sets glow?
Just those, pretty much
There are a set of i90 chest pieces that have a tiny glow to them
ah thats what i was thinking of!
Anyone could tell me what spells I would need for BLU to do fates quick? I need 60 memories for a relic
when is liveletter hapening?
!ll
oh, I'm gonna be
ing so hard
yes
Yes
for fashion report does jewelry being glamored emperors new count as it not being worn
Yeah
i got a 94 😦
The glammed item overwrites whatever is being worn, it’s purely visual grading
For ARR beast tribes, the quests only start giving currency at later ranks
how long after stream does itgo up as a reg. show ? asap ?
do both of my rings need to be lapis lazuli to get 100?
you can rewind stream on youtube in real time
cool
so if you're 2 hours late you can just rewind 2 hours back
nice exactly what i need, TY Caspian.
oh what the hell
Reading
Dude
that is this week's
That’s below the category for blue rings
welp there aint a reason to look there so
game should probably just accept either ring
Well it doesn’t, too bad
i mean, if you're selectively ignoring parts of an infographic saying 'i dont need to look at that part i decided' then you should probably not be surprised you dont get the full picture
yeah, my b but well i never had a problem before and i think most people would just expect it to not matter
You have 2 ring slots and 1 slot bonus
It matters
the rings are weird like that, you can see in-game when check that only one ring slot has the category stamp
Is it good that I’m starting stormblood with level 70 job?
Doesn’t matter
it wont matter
i know it matters but it shouldnt
Oh ok cool
any worthy combat content will downscale you
you'll be able to pick up reaper and sage anyways if you want a lvl 70 job for shadowbringers
!faq thebalance
ty
since the guides will be focused on level 90 stuff
just read your tooltips and do what seems right
if you have a tricky question, ask it
The songs and stuff seem a little confusing and i can't decide when to use it
you will want to constantly have at least one song, which will be possible once you unlock your third
before that you will just have some downtime
Wanderers into mages into armys
if bard didnt change much in EW (idk) weskalber guide should still be relevant
it did
then it might not be
a bunch of dot synergy changed significantly in EW
the compents remain the same but a lot of inner stuff got changed

quick q, does someone i block still see my messages, like say chat?
that'd be cool if your toon even was invisibler.
i think the block list applies to /say /shout /yell /tell.
cuz can block gil pushers
im just curious, i know i cant see their chat anymore, just wanted to know if they can still see mine
They can

it is
You're blocking them not them blocking you
hm, shadowbringers dungeons seemed to give trusts essentially a level a dungeon, EW seem to give a third. was shb trust dung exp boosted so you get 'up to speed' faster?
yes
If you block someone, can they still enter your house if your house is open to the public? 👙
did they break /petsize
how come it visually doesnt make any difference even though i disabled pet glams and also chat said "Size of all pets set to L"
It works as intended
you need to resummon it
resummon or zone
i.e. Demi Baha, Demi Phoenix, and the three level 90 big boy primals
so no titan sized titan?
read what lyon said
those arent lv90
rezone or resummon.
i resummoned
they are though
wait
if you're talking about the titan egi then no, you cannot make that titan sized
Pre-90 u have the egis
titan-egi and titan arent the same?
Titan-egi can't be resized
nope
Topaz Titan can
titan-egi is a flying chicken nugget
but the level 90 summon you can make it accurately sized.
...
that's just default medium size you're looking at
can i glam them to all look like garuda-egi
can go big or smaller from there
you can't no
refer to /petglamour command documentation to learn more
You can make them look like the egis again if you're a monster
command documentation is in User Macros -> Text Commands
how
or type /? petglam
so lv90 cant be glamed
looks like no
they can
Oh you can't glam the big ones over something else, no
yeah you cannot glam the big summons.
You can make them mini though
so resize and glam are mutually exclusive
resize and glam affect different pets
Yeah I suppose that's the case
i see
Small Titan is just the size of a player character
is it possible to put dance on loop?
dances are automatically looped
right, it has to be because it's used for quests
You could make a macro to have it repeat for a long time, but not indefinitely
do all the not basic dances need to buy?
you can also make a triggernometry trigger to use that macro indefinitely, or just a normal macro on something like razer synapse
carbuncle is still carbuncle in lv90 right?
yeah it's now your emotional support animal
does nothing but provide a group buff and a personal shield
then can i glam carbuncle to true-garuda
garuda-igi only
wait cwarb can shield?
yes
Only to other carbys and egis, not the big boys
!action radiant aegis
Orders Carbuncle to execute Radiant Aegis.
Radiant Aegis Effect: Creates a barrier around self that absorbs damage totaling 20% of your maximum HP
Duration: 30s Maximum Charges: 2
Can only be executed while Carbuncle is summoned.
carbuncle abilities is basically the only room for player skill variation
in current SMN
because the rest of the rotation plays itself
but you have to fit in the buff correctly
then you probably didnt put it on there
but i had summoner as my starting ckass
and its a lv2 skill
no way i dont have it
if you started in shadowbringers, it wasnt a thing
topaz used to shield 100%
SMN shield is basically your solo ability and 'oh crap i got a vuln stack' ability
because in all the rest group situations, if you took damage, all group took damage, so the healer will just medica everybody to full anyway
Manaward, I believe you mean.
yeah that one
if you queue for a roulette and it finishes by reset, do you get credit for the previous or the new day?
New
new day
aight thanks
Adventurer-in-need bonus is taken from the moment you press JOIN, roulette bonus is taken from the moment the duty finishes.
btw i can gkam carbuncle into any color and egis and any egis into any carbuncle but why not ifrit egi into garuda egi
devs didnt bother to add that
there are mods that turn them into other things tho
are you sure you cant? the docs say you can
So is the news true that we can migrate steam account into SE account on March?
;_; onxe i subscribe imma make the suggwstion since devs seem to actually read forhms
when can i unlock 70 agumented gear
oh we're still working on that ourselves
after 4.0 msq

No. They're just adding some addition linking between your Steam and SE/mogstation account for security reasons or something. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/4c39f8a03713f8fcbab25ebf908c16837c5faaba
huh, seems like you cant ifrit-egi into garuda-egi. how weird.
guess it's because of animations or something
If I’m in stormblood right now should I worry about gear? Or just keep making my way to endwalker and then worry about gear
pick up upgrades from the MSQ
and dungeons
maybe spend poetics on level cap gear of the expansion (you can use it later on alt jobs, unless you're NIN)
Yeah I bought some stuff and I guess I’ll use that for the next while
dont buy gear for gil
Oh ok
it's a ripoff and not necessary
Ah
for the most part its poetics at lvl 50 -> lvl 55 msq -> lvl 60 poetics
and so on
so if you have the augmented shire gear that lasts you for half of stormblood
So just keep bumping out the msq
Normal quality gear shitty
stormblood starts giving HQ as quest rewards
I guess I’ll bump out some quests and hopefully be close-ish to endwalker this weekend
negative
theres quite a lot of msq for SHB esp if you're doing story
Ah
plus theres a few sidequests you'll need to do during shb kinda like the job quests
I believe I’m done all my job quests until endwalker but yeah
well after 70 theres no more "regular" job quests
Oh ok
Ahh
Yeah I don’t know much about what I’ve been doing I’ve just been going through quests lol
so long as you're following the msq tracker you're doin fine
Sick

Just started playing a week ago, level 23 Marauder now and just wondering when the best time to pick up another job is? I would like to try out a DPS mage but unsure of how to go about leveling up another job from level 1 since my msq is up to LVL 15 or so now
So.. as an indonesian steam player, i am forced to switch into PC version and start over?
Since indonesia apparently isn't supported for steam
whenever you want to try something new, but note that the expansion jobs start at higher level (30 for HW, 50 for SB, 60 for ShB, 70 for EW)
so you wont have to level them as much as opposed to ARR jobs which all start at level 1
also you cant get the lv 30 HW jobs until after ARR
but if youre not liking your current class, you can switch if you want. you will need to do some leveling though
hunting log and fates until level 15, then dungeons
one daily leveling roulette, then the highest leveling dungeon you can queue into
Im enjoying tanking well enough, think I can wait until HW jobs (also what's HW stand for lol)
heavensward, expansion after ARR
also suggest doing hall of the novice for every new role you unlock, it gives good gear and a great +exp ring
arr=a realm reborn
"role" meaning healer/tank/magic dps/phys dps
Ahhh I always read it as Heavensword in my mind oops
it will make more sense when you get there
i believe its supposed to be like toward the heavens
like "onward" but towards heaven, so heavensward
also has different meanings you will discover
Yeah mostly just been banging out the msq and job quests when they become available. Did finish the hall of novice that ring is a nice help
take your time, you only get to experience the game anew once
what other meanings it has xd can u spoiler tag
i never realized anything like that
|| knights of the heaven's ward ||
oh right
did i miss the LL
!ll
Seen some ppl talking bout it but for getting new gear it's best to save Gil and use what the msq and job quests give? Or should I be looking for specific side quests that will give certain weapons and such
can i glam lightnings weapon for GNB or is it only for paladin/gladiator
just use whatever you get from quests and dungeons
That hall of novice armour has been carrying me for a while
just use MSQ gear and at lv 50 buy tomestone gear
your gear lvl doesnt matter so much, you should be getting what you need to fly by from just playing
when you get to the 'last' level of the expansion (50/60/70/80), it's a good idea to buy gear for "Poetics" you will get for clearing that level's dungeons, it's a big power jump
just hit the recommended gear button every now and then
is it possible to use emperors new clothing in paladin shield?
yes
perfect
should I be looking into the cooking? Seen the culinary guild in Limsa but was unsure if it was worth the time
100k
it's optional
if the idea of crafting stuff appeals to you, do it
but you can play the entire game not ever touching it
Where do I lvl up min and btn to 80?
In the 70s? Custom deliveries, beast tribes, crystarium deliveries (if you haven't already), gc delivery. After those are exhausted: collectible turn ins or crystarium leves or diadem
Diadem
Diadem gets you up to 80 easily
I thought there was other ways for 80 on gathering but ok
Custom Deliveries are great tho
Diadem is slow, but it's braindead easy
Beast Tribes are a good daily boost too
Ok
anyone know if there is a new ilvl threshold for rare loot on quick ventures at 90?
can i skip augmented and just use dungeon gear
yes
since all wuest rewards can be crafted anyway cant i just choose allagan metals instead
the coin pouches?
ya
i guess but in my experience the quest gear usually goes for at the very least 10k and often like 30k+
even if you're not going to use the gear, generally grabbing that is better than the allagan pieces
ARR
are you on your 1st job
Yeah thats NQ gear on arr

at least on bryn i had to wait for SB msq gear to be somewhat worth
but that might have been due to bots
Grab the gold piece if ur gear is better
im a flex main so i always have a class that can cheese msq
some fights are easier when done in certain classes
so no im not on my 1st job
:P
okey
its kinda silly but i keep all jobs at roughly same lv
are you playing arr on an alt or something
You can also do Collectibles and Levequests.
That will not remain true for long.
Past ARR, gear starts to split out based on class archetype.
So instead of simply "Disciple of War or Magic", you'll have gear locked to tanks, or to monk/sam, or to dragoon/reaper, bard/mch/dancer, so on.
so i just stick to dung drops and relic gear?
cuz my armory gunna srsly get real scuffed
poetics gear is the easiest by far, since the game basically rains it on you
And then, like people have said, start swapping that out for dungeon gear roughly halfway through each campaign.
You should have enough to like, pick up a piece or 2
But like, you can always get rid of old gear
theres so many items in this game how do people even manage all of this
Gear sets
by dumping what i dont need
selling stuff that you dont need, that's how
Do you know about Expert Deliveries?
Just don't hoard
they only give 100 seal
Right now, yeah.
As you get access to higher and higher level gear, your old gear will be worth progressively more and more.
100 is 100, it's better than just keeping it. If it gets only 100, chances are it looks bad anyways :))
and uhhh, why keeping bad gear that looks bad and have no stats
tbh, just sell every you are not using
unless you wanna level other jobs using those gears or using retainers
That's fine for now, just remember that selling things to NPC merchants is always a horrendous loss.
In mid-ARR it won't matter too much.
Buying things from NPC merchants is always a horrendous loss as well
yeah im levelling everything
i never buy from merchants, its good to lv up cradters
Also, just so you know, leveling will get somewhat easier when you have a significantly higher class.
Lower level classes get a passive "armory bonus" to their experience gain when they're over a certain amount of levels behind the highest-level class you have.
i see
I'm not going to tell you not to level multiple classes, because I did exactly that lol
level one first then keep the others l1v behind
thats what i did
its not possible to cosplay as livia right? she doesnt drop her armor no?
No, that armor isn't obtainable
Not even the black version used by nameless soldiers
booo i guess closest would be warrior relic?
not really, no
we dpm
oops
We don't have much of anything that reflects Garlean armor.
Maybe one item much later, but
I would say maybe some dragoon armor with the plate look could come close
why would my 2nd retainer be unable to equip the 560 WHM job weapon or the 530 augmented cryptlurker weapon? keeps saying i can only have 1. my first retainer is wearing the 560 WHM job weapon, but afaik i don’t have a copy of the cryptlurker anywhere…
double check either your or their inventory
yeah i did :\ even searched… nada.
The weapon you're removing is in your inventory
can i shut off the sound for /cheer so others can only see the cheer ?
and now thanks to that spacetime iversion my retainers are both wearing full level 90 job gear left side lol
so needlessly complicated
Nah, but you can shut off the chat prompt
No

what does better BLU weapon even do?
Materia slots
Can put in higher grade materia
what about these?
Glam
oooo oke, ty!
you can use the period on the numpad
to cancel execution of any ongoing macro
How do i get other DRK poses?
wait whattt, I've been using another echo macro to cancel it, TIL
How far into MSQ do you need to be to unlock "Manipulation" for crafting?
level 65 class story
you need to do it for every crafter you want manipulation on
there are no "extra" DRK poses, what are you talking about specifically?
How far into MSQ do you need to be to do the level 65 class story? I'm still on the Heaven ones
there are unique poses if your character is male or female (and it's impossible to get the other gender's poses without mods)
Stormblood
So have to beat all of Heavensward? MSQ is very long lol
yes
Theres these two poses idk how to use, the one with the sword on the ground and the other one with holding the sword up
Hard to explain
That's gender locked
those two are male and female separate poses
Ahhh what?
"sword in the ground" is the weapon-drawn female idle pose
"holding the sword up" is the weapon-drawn male idle pose
Then do i already have the male one?
Default button to unsheathe your weapon is "Z" on the k yboard.
but you don't stay in that pose, it's more of a motion
you'd have to gpose to freeze your character in that position
You can freeze time in gpose though.
/vpose has it slung across your shoulders.
/bstance has you hold it in front of you like Cloud.
The default button for freezing time in gpose is "1".
which is easier scholar or sage?
...by who, exactly?
imo sage is easier than scholar, but scholar is more annoying with its pet
you're right, my bad
not a fan of certain skills being unavailable if your fairy is eaten due to dissipate or seraph
based on my experience and what i've heard other people say, sage is considered the hardest healer
hmm i see
sage isn't any more difficult than any other healer
if anything astro is the "hardest" healer
oh really>
astro has to do the most brainwork because of cards
yep
and because of that I'd say sage is easier because they don't have to deal with pet jank
sch and sge are both shield healers right?
Yes
yes
the sage balance guide literally has a section that says "hey if you also play scholar here's the sage equivalent of literally all your spells"
out of all healers, whm is the easiest / but has not so good mp regen or something?
ignore anything people say about WHM MP regen if you aren't a top level healer
it's completely irrelevant to 99% of players

WHM is the easiest, yes, and they do have MP issues assuming you are using a 0 piety set and optimizing for damage
This is true
ohhh so that's what piety is for
Its for the high end people who ignore lilies cause they're a dps lost to use
More than it was in shadowbringers
it doesn't apply for anyone not trying to push orange/pink parses
their MP is fine otherwise
To give a bit of background, whm's so called mp issue is due to your mp slowly dipping from glare spam. While keeping lucid and thin air on cd
Otherwise its fine
If you need to spam gcd heals or raises for some reason, every healer is gonna run into mp issues
you oom in something like 4 minutes assuming glare spam and 0 piety gear
But i do agree whm has a harder time recovering from deaths compared to the other 3 healers.
5mins in bis sets
with using all your provided mana tools
scholar has to resummon fairy upon death
so imo scholar has the worst death recovery
i'll make sure to keep that in mind
not that that's a big deal
Actually yes thats one thing as well
but don't approach this as "hardest healer"
no healer is significantly harder than the others
astro maybe but only because you have to think about cards in addition to healing
Totally agreed
At the baseline, all healers are similar. The true difference comes where you're trying to parse really high
idk wtf that other guy was on when they said "sage is the hardest healer and my friends agree"
doubt they play all 4 healers
And yes I agree ast is hardest in that aspect
what's parsing btw?
Ranking of sorts
oh...
yeah when you want to be a top 1% healer
you pretty much completely ignore healing and dps exclusively
you heal the minimum required amount for people to not die
oftentimes meaning your raid sits at half HP while they wait for your assize or sacred soil or whatever to come off CD
Best place to buy level 54 thaum retainer gear please?
shove your spare gear or poetics gear on them
I am looking for an English speaking server, currently in character creation. Unfourtenatly, Pheonix is blocked. I have Zodiark, Lich and Twintania. Which one should I pick?
Doesn't matter
Hey I have a quick question. Is there any point in doing boss fates like Chi after you get the mount?
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
yes because you can visit other worlds in that same server / ??
they award a large amount of bicolor gemstones
Ahhhh gotcha, ty
just a sanity check since i assume it's not insane- Spine Drops can only cure Esuna-ble paralyzes, right?
/novicenetworkleave
Thanks, Ren; couple of sprout friends.
Hey was wondering which order of roulettes is best to do
there's no real best order, but the ones that give the most xp are levelling, alliance raids and main scenario.
trials is decent, and the rest are mainly done for the tomestones.
Ok thanks
Frontline is also significant exp
Yeah lots of people don't get that :P
I'm just trying to find a way to maximize my gameplay
Working on so many projects at once

How do you know if an item will raise your desynth level?
If the items desynth req is higher than your desynth level it will raise it.
If it's only slightly below it'll also raise it but at a lower amount
Does anyone know where you can actually still purchase the Raincoat Chocobo BArding?
Been all over the game, NEt, Ect, Can't find it.
its from the scrip exchange, unlock the rhaglr's reach house of splendors if you haven't
So it's at Rhaglr's reach?
No
OH, Well i already have that unlocked and so does my wife and we still can't find it
you need to have unlocked the rhaglr's house of splendors to unlock the lv70 section for all house of splendors npc
Yup!
then you're looking under the wrong section
Okay so where do i go to check this properly?
its under the miscellany section
Where, Which NPC o, o
any of the scrip exchange npcs
they all sell the same things, provided you've unlocked the appropriate house
Let me double check that place you said because i just looked under all of the catagories and sub catagories and im not seeing it
You do have gathering scrips right?
Yup!
And i just made sure i had all of the proper quests unlocked
Seems im still doing something wrong here...
screenshot what you see under the lv70 gathering misc section
There is no level 70 section :/
then you haven't unlocked the rhaglr's reach house
But i don't have the quests on my map to do that so i figured i already did
Can you interact with the house of splendors npcs in rhaglr's?
And we got a skip to Endwalker as well so i know there is no MSQ requirment.
LEt me check!
can i ask a smooth brain glam question
I have like 2000 hours in and have cast my first glam like like week lol. ended up finally getting into it and making some glam plates, etc, and i accidentally put my WAR plate over SCH loadout. SCH didn't have glammed top bc i liked the levelling gear i had on already.
how can i get rid of the glam on SCH top?
try talking to galiena
yes
Okay so i know what must be done now! I hope...
use a glamour dispeller
Are you talking to her as a lvl 60+ DOH/DOL
is that like something i can craft or find on mb?
buy from marketboard/gc seals
200 seals from grand company
ah gc seals perfect ty. never noticed that as a separate item from the prisms lol
look under the music/furnishing/misc section

Is Power Leveling a low char by going to a place at my level, 80, And them taging it and i finish it off without them being in my party still a thing?
sure but it falls off pretty hard after like 20 or so
not really worth it besides blue mage
Awe really D: Well thanks for the info anyways :/
Guys, I just reactivated my account. If I buy Endwalker (USD $40) will I also have a 1 month subscription with it? Or do I need to buy the subscription AND the expansion?
Expansions never give game time
Yikes, that’s like $53
Back to Minecraft
just bought endwalker stating over again.. Which class do you guys recommend as a caster dps?
would potd be better when leveling an alt dps? just because dungeons and roulette queue times are insane
yes
if you factor in queue times, potd is faster for dps
if you count only time spent in dungeons, then dungeons are faster
hey!, does the potd pomander of resolution make you invincible? because i saw a vod with someone in the form taking damage to 1 hp
no
ah i see!, they must have used their ability that make you go to 1hp if you suppose to die cause they were warrior, thank you!
!action holmgang
yea that one!
all tanks have an invulnerability ability that lets them cheat death
DRK is the worst
If i want to desynth itens from EX trials, a paladin shield can give me the same item as the other weapons?
ok
idk if sword has a worse drop rate than the other stuff and we have no way of knowing anyways
was just to spend totens anyway, not really drop anything
ShB crafting mats are gonna get more valuable eventually
SB ones are still pretty valuable, the HW and below aren't worth much any more
and you can't desynth EW ex shit yet
I just hit level 30 with lancer, when can I become a dragoon?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
I'm going to ask a spoiler question, will obviously use spoiler tags below, please don't click unless you're done with Heavensward
||Does it matter what I say to Alphinaud in To Siege or Not to Siege?||
Your dialogue options to npcs never matter in the broad scheme of things
You'll get a different response but the end result, say you needing to go fight a boss, is always the same
Ah, I was worried I'd actually do what my options are
There's some very fun responses later in the game
Including one where yshtola threatens to spank you
Is there a way to check to see what would have been the other persons response
If I had chosen differently
garlandtools or gamerescape
Replaying the cutscene in the unending journey
garland can be a bit awkward to see alt dialogue, gamerescape is a little easier
Iirc
or you can do unending
Ah sweet thank you
So if you did all the endwalker role quests for a class at level 89, would the combined xp be enough to get you to 90 or would you still need more
Just do a dungeon
Any reason to rush into Stormblood? Otherwise I might try and do all my Ishgard Restoration leveling for hands/lands
outside that there's too many variables in levelling for us to know
if you want to do ishgard restoration at the highest level you'll need to finish the sb crafter job quests
Ishgard restoration goes all the way to lvl 80
!action manipulation
this is basically the best crafter skill in the game and it's job quest locked
So basically I can just go up to 60 on all before I need SB quests?
pretty much
Aight ty
keep in mind level 60 crafter job quests need a master tome
oh do they?
which tomes
Is it possible to have all of your keybindings and ui things on multiple characters?
quest tells you
I know at least the Weaver quest requires Master 3
i need some tech help... badly
How hard is bard to learn? If i'm parsing purples on mnk throughout the tier, is bard easier or on par with monk as far as difficulty?
i'm not there yet so that's why i was asking lol
if you're using quicklauncher there's a plugin for that, or you can manually copy the game files, and on console nope
I have a brand new setup and my FFXIV is not loading the Character Profille (Hud and Button layout)
What kind? You might also want to ask over at #technology-discussion
FFXIV related
it's quite easy overall, spam 1 button, spend procs, rotate songs, refresh dots
