ty
two questions: at what level do I get a chocobo? i'm level 22 atm. also, when does combat get good? i'm a rouge and im pretty much just cycling through the same two abilities
After joining a grand company
progress msq.
When you get.more skills
do your job quests
Jobs don't start feeling complete until like 60s
is getting this worth it ?
It's one of the highest apm due to its main mechanic of mudras
i'm able to get both
it's for 2 different characters, just want to know if it's worth stat increase stuff
it would replace something like this
im a true sprout- what's apm? are mundras the class mechanic? i thought it was stickers
Actions per.minute
actions per minute
I'm currently level 89, trying to get to 90. Using the Trust system, would it be more efficient to do ||The Aitiascope|| or ||The Mothercrystal||?
ENDWALKER SPOILERS ABOVE. Do not uncover unless you've pretty much beaten Endwalker MSQ.
i see, so it'll be engaging then
Sooooooolol
cool
Kinda obvious
Ah okay, thank you.
i become a ninja at level 30 right? if its 50 istg
trials do not give exp. better off queueing for ||aitiascope|| via df and not trusting though
Jobs are 30
whew
Provided you did enough story and job quests
probably a dumb question but just to be sure - are savage raids in the raid roulette?
I just wanna speedrun this. Don't wanna wait 20+ minutes for a queue.
speedrunning and trusts do not exist in the same sentence.
Not even in mentor roulettes
Is there some trick to getting level 1 glam items from retainer quick ventures? like do you not gear it up or something
I mean, at least I get into the dungeon instantly. Like I said, I don't wanna wait 20 minutes for a queue with people, even if doing the dungeon itself with people is faster.
it's current content, it won't take 20 mins to queue for.
Well, hold on. Maybe I'm wrong. Let me queue.
Huh. 8 mins. Not bad.
Alright nevermind then.
lots of lvl 1 glam is from bozja/zadnor/eureka
At 8min it'd be most likely faster to use trusts
so id need my retainer to be level 80 geared?
Nevermind again, it just increased to 12 mins.
The average wait time doesn’t matter
retainers can not do bozja/eureka
most glam items or ingredients to glam items are from treasure maps or bozja/eureka/zadnor
iirc
i meant moreso like can they bring back bozja gear tho? or is it only dungeon stuff/certain i1 glams
They can basically get any item in the game
if you want something specific from a quick venture, it’s heavily RNG
no, not really
they can bring back some craftable stuff or gatherable ingredients but most glam items are locked behind other things (treasure maps mainly)
at least to my knowledge
i think field exploration gives the best items but it also takes 18 hours
i get gil and junk from those
that's just rng for you
if you get lucky you will get something like a minion i suppose
those can sell for a lot on the market board
oh i thoguth the quick ventures gave the minion
and 18h ones were just for the gil basically
not sure how up to date these are but these list some of the items you can get from ventures

the most valuable/useful thing imo would be the venture coffers as they can give dye which is great for glam or selling
dang id do like 8 quick ventures a day and i still havent seen a venture coffer
they only take an hour so naturally they'll have a much lower chance
must be really rare stuff
¯_(ツ)_/¯
quick venture list is also insanely large
it is not that rare but it is likely less than a 1% chance considering how many players there are
you go to the venue at the time
Okay, so literally everyone keeps telling me I need to use legacy, and I can see the point because I hate my stupid backstep
Where the flag is at
But I tried legacy and it leaves me completely disoriented...
Thanks!
It's a matter of getting used to it
am i able to use any class as long as i learn aobut it?
I personally just got used to Standard, so i use Standard and it works fine for me
Well yeah
Also it's 100% viable to play the game on Standard
You can be all jobs and swap between them with just a click 
No, I mean, I can't focus on anything at all
And the camera snaps still happen and leave me unable to figure out where the heck I am
Yep
Hey, if it aint for you, it aint for you
Standard and Legacy is just a matter of preference
Feels like both just are bad
Since I can't move backwards in standard and legacy hurts my brain
I'm still a bit confused about how it hurts your brain
you dont have to move backwards
Do you use controller or keyboard mouse?
you can always just turn camera(if PC) w mouse
oh well
Because mouse is busy pressing skills
No
you should
I spent a week and a half, and I found it unplayable
But yeah... if you use mouse to click skills... I would personally consider Legacy to be almost mandatory
Spend more time on it 
guys my friend quit the game. He wanna send me his gil. Is it illegal to do that?
No... usually no
Why would I spend more time on something that didn't get better with time and made me dislike the game?
Unless it's an abnormal large amount
Seriously tho, clicking is objectively worse, since it takes your eyes from the action onto your hotbar whenever you want to click any skill
And the person later sent a support ticket
I mean, not really. I've more or less muscle memoried where I want to click when I want to hit a thing
It makes you tunnelvision...well it makes me tunnelvision for sure
The exception is blue mage. I can't organize those spells one tiny bit, but that's a small thing
Anyways, i really can't help ya tho, i use Standard and we both play the game in very different ways 😂 so any anecdotal knowledge i may have will be useless for you
how many gils are considered to be legal?
Like, I think I have to say, Clicking is "Viable" in FFxiv
Like, VIABLE
Like this raider do cliking:
https://youtu.be/KHnS-Tl9r_M
Hey! I get a bunch of comments each stream about being a clicker and raiding or healing in FFXIV and it gets a little tiring to answer, so I thought it would be nice to have a video up that I can quickly refer them to (∩´∀`)∩
It's all in good fun. I understand people might disagree and argue that keybinding is objectively better. If you are comf...
But I would personally just unbind WASD from left hand, and use an MMO mouse to control movement
To use whole left hand for skills
there also exists stuff like
I would say... more than 1000 million?
Like this
Like if someone trade more than a billion gil between accounts it do be a bit sketchy
But in general SE really really don't care unless the original account holder reported you
oh he just have 10,000,000
Yeah, I don't think people care much when you pass like 10 mil around
thank you sir
People don't care much if you send money around
unless the accounts are fresh
or some other sketchy business happened
Yeah
GMs don't really care unless the account is being used for RMT purposes, which are easily noticeable by their weird random characters names(like ASNGIOED GJOfgO)
well
It's only when like an account called "Aisdd'sdf Aneklwql" transferred you multiple billion gils
The GM be "this is sus"
They do care
if the friend was to come in contact with said keyboard smashes
Here I thought I was rich with my 600k Gil. 😦
ok thanks guys
Money? Money, is that you?
Nah, I never tried to do it myself before
I use a normal gaming mouse
And use thumb buttons as Ctrl and Shift
I actually don't know a thing about my thumb buttons besides if I accidentally press them they pull up my last viewed internet page
I think I solved the issue though
I went to Legacy, and remapped A and D as rotate camera
Now it functions nearly identical to Standard and I have a backrun
Oh, oh yeah
Yeah
Normally we bind stuff like this
Forget to mention this
sry lol
I mean, I removed move/turn left and right and changed 'rotate camera' to A and D instead
Which seems to have 98% worked
It almost sounds like you're judging it >.>
;w;
But yeah, generally when people are talking about the "standard" legacy camera
We mean playing the game like an FPS game
Which I have never played before
Where WASD moves your character fowards left back right at full speed
Yeah
Anyway, as long as it works it works!
Personally I still have the tendency to stare at my hotbars
I just do fights enough time that I remember everything in the fight and when to peek at the boss to see what's happening
Hmm...did a trial roulette. It'll take some work to iron out the muscle memory, but it doesn't feel horrible anymore
Yeah
You can consider switching back to Standard mode too
I don't think it makes a big difference
If you are not using the "Normie" Legacy Camera WASD movement style
I mean, given my endgoal of being a high-tier boss slayer, it definitely will probably matter
Also standard is bad for the reason of I can't run backwards
Yeah
That's why I tried Legacy in the first place
In practice, as someone who does Savage a lot, I rarely run backwards anyway
As in, my method of running backwards is mouse drag 180 degree and hold left and right mouse!
Which I can't do, being a clicker
Well, now I don't even have to
I came from FPS background, so jumping up and doing a 360 noscope is muscle memory
Strafe left/right, run forward/back
Only reason I have to turn the camera is if a mech is showing over there
As long as you can Strafe left right, and run forward and back you are good
And 95% of those will give you ample time to turn around and see it...or the boss is untargetable
Also Forward and back, then go forward and back, then go forward and back, then go one foot forward
Ayyy
I think I'm not terrible, even with my dookie standard controls
I have EX kills on every boss through Heavensward
Do note that minor left and right strafe is quite important
As in, you probably already know
A lot of mechanic dodging in this game is a tiny sidestep of 1 pixel
I imagine Asphodelos gets to be like that
Most of the stuff so far hasn't been quite so horrific? Mostly.
Impressive!
I haven't even done so yet lol
Yeah, the game don't really get harder later
...doesn't?
I mean, stuff becomes even more formularic and easy to learn
Hmm... hard to say
I haven't raid much during HW
Granted, I recently decided to go insane and do BLU stuff
I have the Twintania kill but I have a feeling Nael is going to claim brain cells
But I feel like generally, Savage Alex, Omega, Eden, Panda are all about the same difficulty
And extreme are also about the same difficulty
Not looking forward to when I BLU my way through savage alex
...except Brute Justice. I can never get angry at that song
Ayyy
Anyway, at least when you min ilv no echo... or when you do the content on release
They feel about the same difficulty
What do people do if they get an unsung token they don't need? I made the mistake on greed-ing a piece instead of passing in P2N and now I have this thing clogging my inventory
throw it away or use it on an alt job if you're not sure
pass everything
tbh I just get whatever piece I could get, like need all 😹
cause no way I'm running those raids for the second time in a week
Using it on an alt job is a good idea, thanks
legacy mode has the nice thing where pressing go back also turns u away tho
legacy + auto face target was best choice I made
sure but it also makes it so your turning now has a radius and turn speed, it fucks with your camera and makes it harder to precision move
except on healers
some people complain that their camera auto-facing the target, is that what the setting for?
or is it another setting?...
i think so?

iirc if i had that enabled, if i was facing away, id face the target and then atk
but since i have it disabled, if im looking away, it wont attack and gives an error
I'll have to test, someone asked the other day and I didn't know the answer lol
i havent fiddled with my settings in a while, but im just used to them
Yep, auto-face target is good for casters because you can move in any direction and still cast. It's less handy on melee and healers
yeah I ahve that one, but my camera doesn't move auto
since it emulates what ive done in other mmos the best
i just strafe with a/d on casters
but only with legacy movement, otherwise you'll actually start running in a different direction
this one yeah?
the one above it i think
with legacy movement you'll always run based on camera direction, not character direction. So you can run away from a boss and still cast without getting an error that you aren't facing the target
ok maybe it's different setting, cause the person asked that their camera is the one that moves, not the character
yes
if you slightly move your camera while pressing the button you can still sorta run in the same direction. or you can also jump while pressing the button to continue running
yeah I have that one on since the beginning, but only my character that face the target, not my camera
thats' why i was confused what the question was referring to
yep, so legacy + auto face
but I always recommend people to try different combinations and use what works for them, that's just my pref
I reckon the person setting is the camera will always facing where their character is facing
I haven't found this setting yet
or maybe He word his question poorly
but nvm ty ty
someone has logged me on fflogs and boy it looks abysmal. but what do all the numbers mean?
!faq rdps
- neutral DPS (nDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- adjusted DPS (aDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
what are the "best %" and all star points
Can someone explain to me what is MYTA in P3S? Or a video explaining it?
The number next to the Sam icon is your percentile based on other players, best refers to the highest percentile you got in that fight, all star is a metric you don’t need to worry about
cool, thanks
Usually the south 3 DPS stack together
is there a way to save diff custom hotbar settings?
on sarg. im fine
can u elaborate what u mean by this? different HUD layouts, or mapping different binds to the same slot depending on class?
yeah basically that
the former, yes. latter, no
icic
your best bet for doing the latter in game i think would be binding a skill to multiple binds at that point
so basically make it such that every class uses pretty much the same layout for skills as well as keybinds
for different bind to the same slot depending on the class is easy, just don't share the hotbar
how? each class has different skill
yea youll have to do something along those lines
alright thx
every class has different skills
unless you are talking about doh/dol
tbh most class skills map well enough in terms of function
can find something similar enough to bind it to
i will just play arnd with it and see how it goes i guess
👀 they have different skills, you know what does it mean
if you bind a drg skill as a sam, you won't be able to use it
no matter how similiar it is
yeah but wld it be a smart decision to like make skills that are similar usage like for example my buffing spells be the same key?
every non-healer class has a 123 combo, you have your role actions, and a lot of similar functions across classes is what i meant
think u misinterpreted it, or i didnt word it right
like skills/spells of similar usage use the same keys
you have to set it up manually
Whatever is comfy
I have it that way on my jobs (mostly)
well that's what I do usually, glare, broil, dosis all using R1+square
Heyo can someone possibly help me with The Arm of the son? ive been in Q for over an hour
Do the endwalker normal raid loot tokens still have a weekly lockout? I'm not sure if it's just savage or both
for WHM/SCH/SGE
imma just fk arnd with it
yes they are still weekly locked
basically this setting, is what you want, shared = all general skills like sprint/mount/food/gysahl green
non-shared = unique job skill
generally 3-4 non-shared is enough
oh damn ok thx
Hey I want to clarify
what are those grey symbols on the right?
The raid lockout resets, I join a P2S, but we don't kill the boss. I won't be locked out of P1S loot?
type /gearset
click +, it will save your current equipment+job setting
ohhhhhhhhhhh
then you drag that gearset to a shared hotbar
so you could change job with just 1 button
does anyone here have a job guide for bard?
It's like 4am in europe
lv 90 or?

!faq balance
look up weskalber on youtube for some very beginner friendly leveling stuff
aite thx
as soon you join p2s you forfeit the loot chance from p1s if you didn't clear it yet for the week
g2know
so one of the questions at the live letter was about drk's immunity living dead and blood weapons. i dont know whats wrong with it since i dont have drk unlocked
!action living dead
Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s
If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
shield healer has no burst healing actions, so they will have a difficulty fulfilling this requirements
while whm has bene and astral essential dignity
also DRK is currently the only tank that has almost no self-healing skills now
blood weapon is 10s long, but due to funky snapshotting you need to have good ping to get 5 uses out of it
i wonder if people trust yoshi p on fixing drk, or are they thinking "oh yoshi p will go the ignorant route"
have no idea, it's their problem
but i think with ffxiv, a lot of people trust yoshi p
id imagine he'll fix the current issues, but some poeple still dont like shb drk as a whole
you can't satisfy everyone 👀
"so please don’t descend on us in a cloud of black smoke because I’m scared." i love this part of yoshi p's answer
i think in general people have less issue with this job is broken and more "i dont like this job comapred to how it played before"
which is much harder to fix from a dev point of view
Is there a discord server dedicated to finding groups to level with? please tell me one exists
dungeons
So just queue
nope
its along the same reasons as why theres not lfg thing in this discord
plz fix
Tbf its basically midnight
NA peak-time is over 👀
level a tank or healer lol
queues are only like 3 minutes shorter during peak time
too long is how long?
It's usually always around 10 minutes
afaik NA still has the highest population, you should try queueing during EU non-peak time 😹
10 mins for non-peak time is impressive lol
Or find ways to dual path things.
Like push blue/side quests, work on relic steps
catch up on your gacha dailies
wouldn't a high population have no effect though? the only thing that should affect it is the healer/tank to dps ratio
you already said 10 mins during non-peak time
even during peak-time in materia/EU is hardly 10 mins 👀
not particularly, no
not fun
All DCs have high populations
higher populations means higher amounts of people queueing, which can actually cause slow queues to move faster
Except materia since it just got made
the problem with trying to find a leveling group through the party finder is that you're not guaranteed to find a healer/tank so you could be waiting forever for nothing when you could be waiting in queue, a discord would let you look for a group while still having the regular queue to fall back on
What?
problem with that is why would a tank or healer join a leveling discord when they can just que normally
just queue it normally and do your doh/dol in between
You’ll get a full party eventually, that’s how queues work
it would just be a bunch of dps players looking endlessly for tanks and healers
to be nice? i don't know just let me be hopeful okay 
like I barely done any doh/dol during dps queue fam 👀 lv 90 doh/dol when
there is no hope, only pain and squandrons and bozja
hi, why i can't desynthesis EX1 accessories? is it because of low desynth level?
current gear is marked as "Unique" and you can't dysynth or GC trade Unique items
jokes aside I would run dungeons with a premade group even as healer or tank just for the social pressure that would stop me from leaving
so I could actually make a lot of progress without stopping to just jump around
As a dancer in a dungeon, should I be concerned our Ninja is on the 4th enmity list on all bosses?
yes
they should be 2 or 3rd depending on how much aggro healer's genning
but certainly not last
they probably just have shite gear
ughh. thanks for the tip, they even have relic for some reason
shouldn't just chill and do aoe like usual lol
We both have 531 gear, I saw him use AoE attacks on bosses and no Trick Attack uptime. Probably why though
have no idea, probably still practicing the class
Yes you can
so should i do the coils of bahamut for story reasons or should i ignore it
up to you, but you probably need a hand on doing them unrestricted
Do it for free tomes unsynced, and story if you're interested
if you can get a homie to unsync with you yes
assuming you don't have lv 80/90
And people appreciate free Wondrous tails points
welp time to wait and ensnare someone with my awful memes

is there a reason why we can't desynth/expert delivery aphorism gear?
Has the exp gain for PotD and HoH changed or is it the same?
same relative to before the stat squish
because then you could just farm aphorism and buy gear and turn it in for an infinite supply of seals
ooh okay ty
i mean, you can already do that with poetics
you cant turn in poetics gear either
yes you can
yes you can
maybe im thinking of the AF gear
yep
AF gear is literally free so of course you can’t turn it in
i think moonward is still considered in the same vein as astro tomes
afaik poetics gear goes for less than 1k
where theres a lock on it
level 80 poetic gear is 1800 per
since it 530
kinda annoying having to hold on to moonward stuff after you get panda upgrades for it just so you can desynth/turn it in next patch
1778 for 530 gear mb
i just discard them
how should i trade bicolor gemstone if i want most money?
the vouchers from obtaining rank 3 in an area sell pretty well
@modest igloo ok ty
how many level 90 can unsync farm hell's kier ex?
soloable on a 580 WAR
woah
but the more the merrier
I mean you’re mount farming, so faster kills
is there a way to revert to the old settings i configured? for some reason all my settings went back to default... even character specific ones like chatbox and hotbar etc
download them from the char select screen assuming you uploaded them
if I dont have a saved appearance data for my character already, is there a way to save it? I kind of want to fantasia but dont want to lose my character if I want to fantasia back later
go to the char select screen and right click their name and click save
oh lol that was easy
is there any naming convention for male viera? I cant seem to find any when googling it, but all the other races have them
ahh okay, wasnt sure if they were slightly different
How to get Flame Capitan in GC
u can name them whatev u want like Burnt Oil
work on your squadron
they'll give you missions that you need to finish with your squadron
just keep sending your squadron to a mission and train them

earliest they can join is 6.1 which is in a couple months, assuming the devs change the status then
it might stay congested
Also I should mention that my friends would be free trials just starting the game
free trial doesnt affect it

!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 7 and 8 Materia require an item level of 420 while Tiers 9 and 10 require an item level of 560.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
aye thanks dude
Are pandemonium normal raids considered high level duties, for the tank mounts achievements?
You wouldn’t be doing those if you’re farming that achievement, but yeah pretty sure they count
i know they count for the "tank you" ones, but i don't know if they count for the "but somebody's gotta do it" ones
I'm just wondering, not farming per se
Thanks
for the latter one, im pretty sure you can undersize lvl 50 extremes if you needed to quickly juice the number
since that's a for sure "high-end duty"
I already got both drk mounts so I don't need to :p
I was just wondering since I'm about to do weekly raids, may as well play other tanks
could do one as another tank, see if it adds to the progress or not
if it dont, then just switch back to drk
I got 4 towards the completion of both GNB mounts after doing P4N?
Surely that can't be right
Nvm, it was 1 lol
Ive only ever played a black mage and recently unlocked a sage at level 70 and im having an extremely hard time learning the rotation and how to use it. Any tips or advice ?
It counted for both GNB achievements. That said the first GNB mount isn't listed as high level duty, unlike the other tanks
So that's probably specific to that job only
GNB was added later than the others so
Makes sense
Go bash a dummy for a bit and try to see how you can use your spells
You can summon your chocobo to act as party member
What mask is this?
Nice! Thank you so much! Luckily it looks easy to get too hahah 
im going to level 83 dungeon as dps and got 17 mins que
should i enter it with trust?
im entering this to level up my chara
hmmm but i heard doing a dungeon with trust basically 30 mins walk?
sounds like a good trade
i mean if i have to wait like 17 mins, entering it with trust means its 7 mins faster right? lol
Again the average wait time doesn’t matter
You can get a full group whenever it feels like giving on
Is it true that I can queue for a level roulette as my tank, swap to dps, play it as dps, and get the exp on my tank?
You have to play the job you queued with in any other content
I’m kinda new and just bought endwalker complete edition, it says a 30 day free period will include but I never got that? It still says I have 4 days left unless I pay for a subscription.
Am I dumb and missing something?
Did you already have the starter edition
Yeah
You already got your free 30 days then
You can’t get it a second time on that console
Well the unlimited free trial is coming back next week anyway right? Lol
Ohh okey, thx a lot for the fast answer 😅
doesnt work if u already own the game
You can’t return to trial if you’ve bought the game
Are you absolutely sure you bought complete edition
Yeah you were supposed to just get EW if you already had the base game
See Cerberus pinned post, complete is ew+starter
I saw that one but it didn’t include a 30 day free period as complete edition did (If Im not wrong) and I thought it could stack cuz I didn’t know “30 day free period” was a one time thing
Hmm, how hard is the Memoria Misera (EX) content?
Didn't get to do that one yet. :x
Yeah I know that now, not back then XD
Also like read the fine print
The 30-day free play period included with purchase can only be applied once to each platform on a single service account.
This is very easy once you learn it
The mechanics aren't that complicated
So it's more like the Primals EX?
Hmm, gotta give all'o that a shot soon
It’s still a ShB EX
It’s not gonna be a cake walk if you don’t know what you’re doing
No but once you do learn most of it I've found it's pretty easy
With the only kinda difficult bits being the tightish dps checks
kk, got it. :>
Is it possible to visit other shards yet?
or other worlds
If so, how does one do this. I'm completely new with visiting worlds
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
Yeah i did see that one
but the one i'm trying to visit isnt in the list
I thought Endwalker would introduce this?
do you mean datacenter travel?
Cross-DC travel isn't implemented yet
yeah that got pushed back quite a bit
tbf itll still be introduced in endwalker, just not yet
I'll be abroad when my subscription runs out, if I let it tick over it should just end correct? (loyalty bonuses aside)
Which WEapon is actually better?
The one with Itemlv 530 (poetic one) or the one lv 90 with Itemlv 580/590(not sure directly)
Attack value is lower at the lv 90 one, thats why i ask
item level is always best
which weapon are ya lookin at
if its a nq crafted weapon its garbage
the one from the market board. I haven't reached Endwalker yet
so i only have the Bloodborne like gear
(dunno the english name of it)
Okay nvm. I was just stupid. I only saw the NQ one.. (would have been smart to actually click on the item before. :'D)
what to those stars mean? its from timer menu for gran company delivieries
Those give bonus exp. Starred items are worth the effort.
oooh ok thank you!
The bonus items change daily so always check that window on GC reset.
I'd say all items are worth the effort but specifically starred ones. Usually you get a level for each turn in.
is shirk necessary?
ahh okay

Hi, I'm capped on poetics, is there something best to buy with them? Like to sell on the mb or idk
!faq poetics
Thank you!
Might be slightly outdated? There are some stuff you can buy and sell but obviously market will be different per server/dc
Yeak makes sense, still better than buying 50+ crystals that don't sell on the mb like I did once
If you don't want gear for alt/relic stuff then I'd recommend pulling up Universalis and checking through some of the mats
Don't oversaturate the market tho
the only outdated part AFAIK should be the new minimum number of Umbrite needed for the anima weapon
I only have the new maximum on there
The dungeons give out a lot of gear so I'll stick to the sellable stuff
You should absolutely grab poetics gear at lvl caps
as a healer is there a way to quickly target party members ?
I didn't bother listing the crafting materials due to the sheer volumn of them
They're handed out like candy, and the best value is the gear
Oh okay, thx for the info, shouldn't have neglected them '-'
Typically people click in party list on pc, d-pad on ps
F1-F8 are the default keybinds, though most people I see on clear videos just click nameplates or the party list
Thank you
as for controller, two tips i recommend are a macro that targets the 5th person in the party, and pressing up twice to quickly wrap around to the 8th person on the list.
the macro is due to it being a bit annoying to target people in the middle of the list
(very good for AST cards)
The macro would look like this:
/target <5>
ill keep that in mind thank you
For some reason the fight keeps getting reset in Strange Bedfellows quest?
use the key item on them
should be called the "Conquerer's Chain"
hey if i change my retainer's job from lvl70 WAR to RDM, does his lvl get reset to 1 ? or will he be still 70 ?
Level will reset
Retainer keep their level when you promote a class into a job
But it's warrior
do secondary crafts gain bonus exp like jobs do? in otherwords when i get to 90 on BTN will i get bonus exp on all other crafts?
If you reset the job you reset its lvl
@dim quarry no, but crafters and gatherers can buy items to boost their exp yields
Oh, then ye it works if you change it to rdm class
Does it matter which one I take or?
Only for flavor.
the scroll things?
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
Any class can do into any job you have unlocked at the right lvl
these?
tyty
At higher level, you can get better manuals which offer even more exp
Well, probably because you cannot start as any expansion class, so you need some way to be able to chose it. They just decided all classes are free for choosing
If you allowed retainers to start at expansion jobs
You need to add low level weapons for these jobs to the game
Otherwise your retainer cannot function properly on the ventures
yea but why not let us choose freely after
They do?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or what do you mean?
yea but it resets to lvl 1
I think DRK mean able to swap jobs
Not if you go class > job
yea but why dont they allow job > job
Just job > job it resets
Like lvl 90 PLD, then swap to lvl 90 DRK directly
Well 
Is it recommended to be in a pre group to get 20k points in ocean fishing?
nah 20k is easy
How? All I end up with is 5k
grouping for ocean fishing is more for achivements , theirs no big secret its just fish large fish aim for spectral currents
ocean fishing is a LOT of luck for big scores
So... is it recommended to be in a pre group?
it won't really help for the most part
you need spectrals in all 3 zones, and you can't have any of the zones to have a "bad" spectral where there's no good fish to use Double Hook/Triple Hook on.
does it matter if I craft shiny boss weapons like suzako's flame kissed weapons HQ or not?
lemme find the picture of my haul that got me 20k points to show how luck-reliant it is
If I will just use it for glam?
no
theirs also having the right bait for the more points fish for that zone that isnt any of the 3 youd normally use
this is the boat that got me 20k points had me at 10k base points, and almost half of those points were from 2 very lucky blind double hooks that ended up as HQ.
(done before 6.0 FSH changes)
yo how do yall get to stilltide in shadowbringers msq
the quest isnt getting me anywhr maybe im just dumb
Wait so I shouldn't have patience on all the time?
no
or rather, you want to make sure you're always near max GP for spectrals once they spawn
Then triple/double hook?
on the super high-value fish, yeah
Which are !!! or !! variety?
depends
sometimes the ! are the high-value fish
lemme find the website i used
Schedule for upcoming ocean fishing voyages with information on blue fish, achievements, and more.
You can see the point value, suggested bait, and wait timers of each fish
Bait marked with a star means that the fish can only be caught with that bait
the quest that takes you to Kholusia?
This is going to be quite the journey. Thanks buddy, imma check the site
generally the best voyages to go for high points are the one with no blue-rarity fish
while you can get a massive bonus of +50% points for your party catching 3 blue-rarity fish, they're often extremely hard to get and you don't often have high-value fish to go for.
does the astronomy cap include wondering tails?
yes
you can hold onto the book until weekly reset happens to immediately get 50 astronomy
as books last for 2 weeks
yeah.. but astronomy resets on tuesday right
yes
Does it reset on Tuesday or the next Tuesday?

yes
In the site. An example of a no blue-rarity fish which you recommend is Bloodbrine sea voyage right?
Is that a good example on what you mean?
yep
So the Wondrous Tales: Deadline is in like 9 days so still good. Should I hold it at least until next week to get a start on the astronomy stones? Also the longer I hold the bigger the exp bump, right? (As in I level higher getting more exp)
the EXP given is entirely based on the job you turn in as
well if your higher lvl yes the exp increases it scales
Alright then. Thanks!
Then get another of the rewards
To give an example for that bloodbrine sea boat, I'd love to give my reasoning on their spectrals.
The first zone has a spectral with 2 high-value fish, the Devil's Sting and the Callichthyid. The Devil's Sting has a !! catch timer that makes it impossible to mistake for other fish, so it's a somewhat easy pick of the two.
The second zone has 2 more high-value fish, the Coral Seadragon and The Fallen One. Both give near-identical points, but The Fallen One has a unique catch-type and timer making it easy to blind DH/TH.
The third zone has only one high-value fish, the Quartz Hammerhead. The catch timer is unique to it, making it another easy blind DH/TH.
(I can't personally tell you if Triple Hook is better than Double Hook, I haven't done any ocean fishing since I hit level 90)
Just did Valentione quests and have an kind of unrelated question
[Shadowbringers spoiler]||Is there a way to go and meet and talk to Feo Ul after MSQ? And no, summoning bell doesnt count.||
Afaik no
awww
Unless we get a new side quest in the first, which admittedly I love
You can get her wings from Endwalker treasure map dungeons
And they do a flutter when you jump
!iglam fae wings
tbh you should put ||first|| in spoiler tags
Ffs
!item pixie wings
Fuck, that was it
got already
Eh, it's one of those if you know you know, if you don't it means nothing to you
eh they clip through my nouliths
you can turn off weapon when it's sheathed
yeah ik
Uhh i'm on good intentions and says i need bowl of embers (hard) etc how do i get it
Pray return to the waking sands
No I'm not just memeing on you
wheres the setting for enemy health % again?
Is there a way to keep wings equipped in combat?
nope
you need to do a blue quest questline for them
Wooos
its under your msq quest in the top left
Ty
or should be
@strong saddle the waking sands room to the left of the solar
is bozja fastest leveling from 70-90 on dps
bozja starts at 71
is bozja fastest leveling from 71-90 on dps
and its probably dungeon qeuing with a good party
do people on party finder make parties for just spamming dungeons
sometimes yes
for 71-81 ye, 81+ is still dungeons if ques are below 15mins
aslright alright
Not unless you're using one of the 3 mogstation glams that have wings
Bozja is solid passive exp if you want to work on doing it and get some exp while you're at it
System -> Character Configuration -> UI Settings -> HUD -> Display target's remaining HP percentage
i asked a similar quesion yesterday but is exodus a good world for casual talking and raiding
Servee choice means nothing
ok
literally doesn't matter
Data centre matters as that picks what servers you can visit and do content with
choose one close to your physical location
Ish. Choose a regional datacenter close to you. All datacenters (and, therefore, all servers) in the same region are in the same physical location. So if you're close to one datacenter in the NA region, you're close to all of them.
Ok
Hey everyone! Is it possible to get someone to craft some pure white dye for me? Is that a thing in this discord? "Looking for crafters" ? Id pay gil assuming its not expensive to made

Pure white cannot be crafted
That would explain why there isnt any on the market board 😂
There is
You can only get it from loot box-type boxes such as quick ventures and POTD/HOH/Bozja
It's named general-purpose
General-purpose is the tradable version, the one that’s simply “Pure White” is from the mogstation and isn’t tradable.
Ooooooh. Maybe thats why i couldnt find it
check for it on universalis for your data center if you want the cheapest pricecs, but its usually like 300k
!faq universalis
damn bot
For 1?
yes
Jesus
on my dc cheapest is 392k
snow white dye is probably a better option if youre not uber rich
I got lots of that but its not white enough on the peices im dying lol
well either you gotta dish out tons of gil, get it on mogstation (7,50 for 10) or get real lucky with some drops
Yea seems that way. Real money is solver of all problems lmao
Can buy it with gold feathers from recruit a friend promo too
But... Yea, doesn't help much
Lol nope. Thanks tho people!
when was the last roulette reset?
!daily
Roulettes just reset
sweet thank you
Excuse me? If I wanted to invite anyone to a wedding in game today would you all be interested? I have 40 invitations and the wedding will be empty without anyone
try making a party finder maybe idk
or just advertise it in limsa/the main cities or something
Thank you
I am new to the server and would like to ask which roles are appropriate for me for the datacenter?
do you mean roles in the discord
yes
idk just your datacenter and the classes you play, never really looked at it
Are they getting rid of the Prae/Meridiumn MSQ Roulette stuff in 6.1 according to the PLL?
I am not putting a class to myself just yet I haven't even bought the game just yet but am thinking hard on doing so
they didnt say theyre going to get rid of it, just make it 4 player. if they remove the forced cutscenes it would probably just go into another roulette
ok ty
It's just access to the discussion of those roles, you can change class whenever in game (after lv 10 job quest)
yeah just pick whatever looks cool
If you didn't buy game yet, free trial is back in 2 days
or you think you would enjoy
I just clicked the two roles that have US flags as I am in USA
but should I have only one?
thats just for what datacenter youre in, doesnt really matter
Typically just the DC you have chars in, its fine tho
when you do get the game just remove the one youre not in i guess
oh so I won't know until then? gotcha
yeah you can choose which datacenter and world you go in, but some dont have new character creation
!faq serverstatus
Until 6.1 at the earliest (~April)
What's easiest at max DOH level to use your guildleves for money? Payout is roughly the same if you gather everything yourself.
Why is everyone want to be on Aether?
it's always been crowded for one reason or another, streamers and such
Used to be because Gilgamesh was "the raiding server", which stopped being a thing after datacenter travel.
phish
Now it's because people simp for streamers.
There is no such thing raiding DC lol every DC has raids
you mean crossworld features
Well ... no, but I should have said intra-datacenter travel.
thats.. still crossworld stuff
Inter-datacenter travel isn't here yet, so.
Light Farm - ARR Zodiac Weapons from Nexus to Zodiac
Anyone know how many Aurum Vales speed run will it be?
Or from experience.
Depends on whether it's in a bonus window or not, but it's a lot
check the wiki and do the math
if no bonus, 42 runs, assuming wiki numbers are correct
Should be around 44 runs for the Novus stage and 24 runs for the mahatma stage
Half that if you only do them during the bonus window

No
Can someone tell me which server is bet for starting new? Is there a server with a larger Balkan community?
Thank you. Other games I played usually locked you on a server so would like to plan ahead
Not here
you can play on any server
!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
🙂 no such thing as lock in ffxiv
but best to choose at least a local datacenter, so european if ur in europe
you can world travel between server within DC, later DC travel (coming soon)
for now, you can play with ppl in that datacenter, but not others (yet)
technically your sorta locked into your datacenter since you have to pay to switch
Yes
Thank you. I am OK with that. Chaos it is then for me.
good choice
just need to make sure friends are in the same datacenter
e.g, ppl on Chaos, can't play with ppl on Light servers
otherwise, anything is good
is this outfit available for glam?
check on garlandtools
ops Should have post in #glamour-discussion

What do I do if an NPC doesn't have the msq it should? I can't continue msq now.
what quest?
also usually you need to follow the blue quest in the tracker
!faq msqtracker
-
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.
so #2
The Lightwardens. It says Crystal Exarch should have it, but he doesn't.
did you do both paths
||you had to do alisaies line in amh araeng and alphinauds in kholusia||
Can you post a screenshot of your main scenario quest tracker?
Does anybody have a link to a liveletter summary video that doesnt have story spoilers?
My apologies, I guess I dropped the last 2 of the first path somewhere.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/swanrb/summary_of_announced_game_updates_from_live/ this reddit post doesnt have any info from the lore section and has spoilered parts of the gameplay info that is potentially spoilery. also probably good idea not to read comments
for some reason my game is playing the level up tune whenever i get an item any idea whats causing that
Well it depends how you're getting said item
from dungeon chests
It's just the victory tune to notify you got something
Yes it's the same as level up uses
it is Final Fantasy, after all
coulda sworn thats new tho
nope
If you've had all music muted, then yeah. If you've only had background music muted, then no.

Can someone please help me with the Fishing quest called "Carpe Diem".
I'm supposed to mooch a large Bullfrog into a Catkiller
I've done that almost 20 times, and I still only catch lobsters.
I am using the Purse Web Spider bait. at The Eddies
What am I doing wrong?
Have gone through 100 baits on the account of just being able to mooch a large Bullfrog
why are all you people highlighting these words like the people answering them can't read
I'd thought I make it easier to see the key words
i just muted bgm sfx gonr
Not on dark mode
It just makes it more obnoxious to read
I get that's not your intention but it does
It need clear/fair skies btw
Weather dependent fish
Right, I am also using dark mode, and used to the syntax highlight parts, my bad. Didn't see weird on my end.
The fish or the bullfrog?
Fish
I see
Bullfrog is not weather dependent
There is an ability called "Fish Eyes", that removes said requirements, but it also has a caveat that it does not work on certain fish.
Do you know if it works on this one?
There's plenty of weather tracking site just check them out for an alarm
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No idea
It's not a big fish so probably
I've heard that the anima weapon grind is long, but is it a difficult grind? Do you need the previous artifact weapon to unlock it?
Right, how did you figure that out? None of the quest text mentioned that.
It's the easiest relic it just takes a Shitton of poetics
Ah
same
When do weather conditions usually change?

oh

Classical?
nevermind

for some reason in my head that equated to facet

how can i set my pvp hbotbars before a game
go to the Wolves' Den, your bars change there and you can practice on dummies
ok how do i get there xd
i think i have it unlocked
since i have pvp
nvm it has aetheryte
👍
Does anyone want to help me lvl up?
if i don't get the potd floor 101-200 quest unlock because i haven't done corpse groom, would I have to clear floor 100 again?
or will I get the quest after completing the prerequisite ones?
I don't use mods or third party add-on... but when tabbing back in after setting up the next episode to watch thru funimation I came back to this?
literally froze and thought it was something malicious or a bug
Thanks Seria, @steep egret
Gotcha. Will do it slowly then, I still have PTSD from the books.
Or the FATES before that even.
question - what marketing trick am i missing here? what is the goal of posting stuff at a _,001 gil, inviting other to post at the round number?
is there somewhere i can look up midi files for specific songs to play on bard
Hard to say. Could be a calculation to get a specific figure back after regional taxes, could be just where they themselves were undercutting other sellers, could be they just didn't want a perfectly round number, could be they were doing the exact opposite of the _,999 thing that's so common irl....
pretty sure its just someone undercutting by one
and there's no other reason
more than likely someone undercutting the market
When I played on PS I often just added to whatever the base price was. So if it sells for 1 gil by default I would leave it with a 1 at the end.
But I am very lazy.
I doubt that’s the case here since he has so many
they also have one listing at 20,000,001, so i suspect some kind of price manipulation, just not sure what it is
"Sells for 1 gil", hm, maybe you are right 😄
probably trying to crash the market
or in a beef with someone else shrug
people do weird shit on the marketboard
You likely are wearing a weapon only arcanist/summoner can equip
need to find a weapon that scholar can also equip
most of the low level books are for both jobs, but once you get 50+ they split

What should I spend my poetics on not to overcap them?
I currently have full set of Shire (lvl 60) poetics set and it will take me probably 3-4 days to progress Stormblood far enough to get lvl 70 poetics eq; I don't want to waste them by overcapping and I don't really play multiple classes so buying more ironworks/shire eq is of no benefit to me
how much umbrite and crystal sand i need for dream fullfilled?
