cool thanks so would you say the 4th boss of a current raid tier in savage mode is the hardest encounter of a patch?
6.2 is the next tier
6.4 will add the last
it's the hardest encounter of each tier, yeah
generally, yes
is this tier called P1? (pandemonius one?)
Pretty much, unless when Ultimates comes in
though in the case of asphodelos p3s may be more difficult...
what is ultimate again?
P1s to p4s
p3s meaning the 3rd fight in savage mode?
Pandemonium is the raid series
no, it's called asphodelos. p1, p2 etc are the fights
correct
the p for pandemonium
right
yes
Basically Ultimate is for people who feel savage is too easy
is it unlocked after savage?
So they remake some old fights and put them together into one big super hard fight
Yeah but not really
As in, each ultimate require clearing a specific savage boss to unlock
But it’s not really “unlocked” by the savage floor...
is the best gear in the game dropped from Ultimates?
no. it's ultimately cosmetic.
It’s slightly better than the savage gear
Like, extremely slightly
But generally no one go do it to use the weapon
They drop shiney weapon you show other people for street creds
But yeah, most people use the ultimate weapons for glamour
No one really seriously use them for farm parse... I think
Ultimate weapons get out classed like immediately
And with all the prog time it takes...
Ultimate weapons are better than the savage weapons when they are current, by a very small margin
But by the next tier(every 2 big patches) it stops being the strongest weapon
You unlock ultimates by completing certain savage fights
For example, to unlock TEA, you do E4S
There is an ultimate for O4S and then another one for O8S, IIRC
We currently only have 3 ultimates
We’re getting 2 more over the EW patches
Yes, that's the plan
is bozja worth the exp after 80?
People absolutely used it to powerlevel to 90 after the expac drop, so, make of that knowledge what you will.

why am i getting this message?
emergency maintenance
lol you are everywhere
Mar 4th pll has no interpretor? Does that mean we wont understand their stream?
if theres no translator then yes it will be in japanese
the translators here will probably do it
what is pll
Live Letter from the Producer (PLL)
it's a livestream where they talk about upcoming game information, overall plans, etc
and its 6.1 so its going to be spoilers
what
Given that it's scheduled for a normal time period in Japan, and therefore absolutely ass'o'clock in the morning NA time, it's likely they consider their potential English audience will be fairly low.
Really sad thats happening
thats normal for live letters
I mean ... welcome to an oblate-spherical planet with a day/night cycle.
Same thing happened with the winter Olympics this year.
It's a normal time of day for them, and we're asleep.
I’m having issues connecting to the server currently is this normal?
having someone translate all of them and taking time to repeat everything the devs said is also ass
check #lodestone-news-na emergency maintenance for some areas so if you logged out in 1 of these you probably can't login atm
there any way to teleport my char to a different area outside limsa on mogstation? stuck there due to maintenance
no
only thing you can do is wait
What time will free trial be available
(Time may vary)
we only know sometime today they didn't tell us a hour only that is comes back on the 22nd
is there a way i can show the global cooldowns in a noticable way?
you can get mods for that
yeah but all the mods i see adjust the appearance
Are manufactured/breach/puppet's coins used for anything anymore? (is it safe to toss them?)
Am I missing something, I'm only getting 1 mastercraft demimateria from desynthesizing 50 artisan spectacles
If you still have some i520 pieces lying around you can use them to upgrade but otherwise you can straight up buy i530 gear now

is there no better way besides buying from MB?
If you got scrips laying around, it costs 800 of em
wait you can buy them with scrip? omg I've been wasting 10 hours+
for the ARR beast tribes do you need to get the ixals to 6 or 7 before you do the allied quest?
7
if i don't pay my sub will items i'm selling on þe market board still be up?
Items posted will stay on the MB for one week from the time you last interacted with the retainer who has the items posted.
ah, regardless of sub, john gotti, and þank you
sub is about to run out, and i intend to take a break, so was just asking
for crafter collectables, you can do a collectable one level higher than your job level right?
No, you can’t turn in any collectibles higher than your current lvl
Is there anything similar to quan ?
the itemlevel check for duty finder happens when you press 'queue up' right
as in, i can change my ilvl after that point and still get treated as the initial entry?
No, you can’t
but how would the system know i changed my ilvl if i say swapped jobs while waiting
You have to swap back to the job you originally queued with
but the choice of which duty i am eligible for already happened at that point did it not
And if you were able change your item level afterwards, people could lower it to below the requirements. Which would make 0 sense for the queue
you can change gear inside a dungeon
That has nothing to do with what I’m saying, pretty sure you’re not allowed to lose item levels
isn't that precisely how you get crystal tower in your alliance roulette
No you wear bad gear before u q
^
Then inside they swap their gear up again
yes that's what i'm saying
No it’s not
You have to be on the job and ilvl you qd with when initiating the dungeon
Inside u can do whatever

Weird wording
But yes
You can put on shit gear
Queue up
Then put your good gear back on
At least I think so
i know that, i was only asking which is the point the game checks the itemlevel
When you queued
what about player withdraws, does it recheck then?
You’re still queued so no
makes sense
they really shouldnt have made crystal tower so important to relic weapons and spread it to all alliance raids. else it promotes degeneracy like this
People just want quick roulettes
both are factors
Not really
Relic ain't got shit to do with it
Cause people queue for relic CT directly
No gear shit
Is it still possible to get 15 days of playtime for reaching level 30 on oceania?
Where is the best place to level a lvl 87 healer?
The 87 dungeon/roulette
Do you guys know the best way to level a job?
!faq altleveling

Summoner/scholar are easy because they're tied to each other but my paladin leveling feels like a drag
Oh just do dungeons on tank
I do hunting logs and the occasional duty finder if tank is the AIN
Hunting logs do get really boring though
Main story progression. Barring that, run the highest level dungeon you can excluding dungeons for specifically levels 50, 60, 70, and 80.
It’s easier to just use scholar and dungeon it up
Is there market board in ishgard restoration?
Noooooo
is there any beginner guide you would recomend on youtube?
Weskalber, for beginners guide on Jobs and combat basics
Currently they are working new guides accomodating the changes Jobs received in Endwalker
But their Shadowbringers Job guides are still decent to teach you the basics
(obviously go for Endwalker guides if they are available for your Jobs)
if I change my GC, do I have to grind all the way to Captain again?

@smoky glade yes
yes but you keep captain and lefetover seals in ur old GC
so if u get bored or don't feel like it anymore, u can swap back after a week iirc
Costs 200k after the first time
50k iirc
Is there a plugin that can serve as a crafting shopping list ? Like how you can see the raw materials for one craft but you can add those of another ? Because having to jolt down the mats I need for a bunch a different crafts is a pain in the but
Then a plugims not gonna help
They take processing power ?
hello, im trying to find the npc for deltascape/omega etc. but he's not there... \
I want to get into the terminal thing with the computer there
does anyone know how to get in?
he should be here, but its just a random dragoon thats standing there.
Did you talk to Jessie
questline starts in rhalgr's reach
I don't think you could go back there if you finished the questline
You can’t
you need to do newgame+ if you want to get inside again
oh
Wedge wears the expression of a man at his wit's end.
Wedge
Rhalgr's Reach (X: 12.67 Y: 12.43)
Cid
The Interdimensional Rift (X: 7.07 Y: 8.76)
Stormblood
Into the Deltascape
whats the best place to farm Tomestones of aphorism and astronomy
primarily hunt trains
lvl 90 maps are decent as well
if not, the old faithful of expert roulette is there
so hunts basically , um is this the fastest way as well to cap them?
ye
i see, thank you
one full a rank train is 360 tomes of astro
more if you happen to find an s rank along the way
got a question if anyone's around, but I think I know the answer already. just want to confirm
I do not own endwalker yet as I am still playing through shadowbringers. however, I hit level 80 already and my exp gains stopped. is that only because I don't own endwalker?
Yes
perfect, that's what I thought. looks like I need to buy the expansion already then
thanks for the quick answer
interesting
Conditional enhancements is stuff like Leaden Fist right?

This is related to discord, somehow 2 of the servers got grouped into an unknown folder.
How do I separate them again?
Literally anything on your computer takes processing power, that's how a computer works
I believe so, easy test is to eukrasia on a sage, or dual cast on a rdm
I mean I obviously meant "noticeable processing power", but aight
Well if you're already having issues with the base game on your "potato" a plugins not gonna help that
What time does the free trial come back?
Didnt they say theyd let us know
Turning off the free trial is pretty unprecedented
any tip on catching olgoi khorkoi? I'm using HW bis gear, with sand leeches as bait in heatwave weather, everytime I mooch off Storm Rider, I either get Caravan Eel, Dune martha or fish escaped.
It escaped 8 times already, hopefully I'm not missing anything
One more question regarding optional item purchases. As I am currently not home, have no access to my ffxiv, but sub is active, if I buy items from mogstore online, how long will the items stay in mailbox in game
before they disappear or they stay until I claim then
i think 365 days
Thats plenty then, thanks
the bigger thing is that it takes a decent amount of time to actually get the mail itself
since mogstation is... slow at best
last item i ordered took me like 4 hours lol
Yeah, I jist wanted to prepare some stuffs like name change and fantasia to have it ready, dont want it to disaappear if I dont claim it hh
Yeah, I rememver, I actually waited 6 hours for school uniform to arrive at the time of release
that was crazy times lol
Bought it at 7am and got it around 1pm xd
The day, not the hour
Preorders for Endwalker items were worse
Hm, I agree, but yeah I think that was the longest I waited for a costume to arrive, I was literally standing near mog mailbox for 6 hours and made some friends meanwhile xdd
I also dont remember exactly, but I think one of the items I ordered disappeared from mogmailbox when I didnt claim them, but it was less than 60 days donno what happened
thats why I asked here to make sure btw hh
Im sure I didnt claim it, I also ordered it when I was on a trio, got home, saw it in mailbox, but didnt take it for whatever reason, and then few weeks later it was no longer in mailbox
Little question here : I played the game a few months back in 2021. I bought the starter edition on steam for 10 bucks, which, to my understanding, had 30 days of subscription. Now, how could I subscribe again? I can't take the starter edition again, can I?
!faq mogststion
!faq mogstation
Most people use the entry sub
So for the lottery system would I be able to place a bid for a personal house, and a bid for my FC, or do I only get 1 bid total?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Understandable, thank you
Okay, where can I do that on the mog station?
Log in, there should be a big buttin called add subscription
I only have "Transfer to Full Game", my account status says I'm on free trial
But I can't be on free trial since I already bought a month-
Are u sure u logged into the account that is connected to steam
I should be, but is there a way to check that? I couldn't find any way to check for connections via steam, maybe via the mog station?..
May have borked somewhere xd
free trial is now live guys!
Under the 2nd tab on the left should be a table that shows all the versions u bought
atleast for my region.
If steam isn't on there, then u might be on a wrong account
Yeah, there's nothing ticked in there, might be the problem
Thanks for the help, I'll check in later if I still couldn't fix the problem
You bought starter edition, that doesn't mean you redeemed it on your accoint
Steam purchase just gave you a code
They played it back then tho
@solemn jewel
Doesnt say he redeemed it
Could be a mix up
But don't u have to redeem the code if u "played"
/misunderstanding
He's on free trial
Probably kept playing on that without doing the actual redemption
I did a while back, did play for a month
Tried reedeming again, didn't work of course
Not to my knowledge
how do i see what expansions i own on mogstation
It's literally on the first page...
Yeah I must have linked my steam elsewhere somehow
its literally not
thanks
The ff14 page
Mogstation opens on dashboard, the table with the expansions and CE's is under status
Is the free trial still unavailable? I have 2 sites, 1 says its available other says no... Idk if 1 is a scam
its odd because both seem to be the site
Heavensward expansion now included in the Free Trial! Play up to level 60 for free without time restrictions.
Heavensward expansion now included in the Free Trial! Play up to level 60 for free without time restrictions.
it is the same site
so weird how one says yes and other no
oh i see how it says GB in the first one, is that also a region? since i am eu
should be also eu right?
i don't see either one saying it's unavailable so maybe you have some old version cached?
omg youre right. i think its because i directly went to it through google... i refreshed and it now says its available

Does all crafters skill has the same name?
i want to say yes but i'd need to check myself
all of them at least function the same
ye
as a beginner to the game, should I stick with keyboard + mouse controls? Or controller?
either is fine at all levels, use whichever is more comfortable
thanks for the advice.
You can also switch at any time
Hello, how do i get the same controller scheme like this guy https://youtu.be/MUUA9zkeRpw?t=461
when he's doing AOE combo, there's 2nd hotbar popped up
Here is a FFXIV Shadowbringers Gladiator/Paladin Leveling Rotation guide and overview for levels 1-80. I'll go over rotations throughout the levels in 10 level increments. This guide is a basic how to play Gladiator and Paladin at every 10 levels. I hope you like it and let me know which Job you would like me to do next!
Endgame rotations may d...
Can i change homeworlds freely
no, homeworld transfer requires a paid service
visiting is free
I didn't watch the video, probably extended cross hotbar. There's a good guide to controller on akhmorning maybe?
To progress through the 8 man raids quests for each expansion do I need to also do the savage raids?
no
savage raids are always irrelevant to narrative
pretty much all of the unlock quests can be summarised as
'haha what if though'
'savage unlocked'
But I mean for some quests like unlocking the hard version of dungeons you also need to complete it in order to finish the quest
u just unlock the savage raids, no quest to actually do them
Oh i see what you mean, no
Thanks
what button should i press to show "set 2" hotbar without having to scroll over with R1 + Rectangle, triangle, circle, and X. i tried that settings but i couldn't figure it out
ok i'll check it out
I found it, it's L2 + R2
Where can you get lvl80 poetics weapons ?
What's the fastest way to level 80-85?
I didn't find them in Eulmore
did you finish 5.0 msq?
80 poetics is the Crystarium I think. right by the aetherite
its the vendor next to the armor vendor
Its not all in the same npc in eulmore
But yea you need to finish 5.0 first as vis said
im trying to play FFXIV
but steam says its unavailable in my country
i cant experience FFXIV because of this stuff
which country?
Is the country available on the stand-alone version?
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
how do they deal with the region, cause I've seen people from MY playing in Tonberry/Kujata
but idk
what region should i sign up on
the only downside of this is im missing recent expansions am i right?
Do I recall correctly if the 79 dungeons give more xp than the 80?
registering correctly is important
ask people who play in your region how they do it
Ask here, as vielen said
my facebook it private
so i went here to ask about it
i just wanna experience FFXIV
From googling it looks like most people made a EU SE account, and selected UK as country. Just works with stand-alone it seems tho 
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
It's literally in the headline, lol

anyone can help me to do my side quest map for flying :<<<
What exactly do u need help with?
Then ask in game or in the eu channels, this isn't a channel for that kinda help
okee thanks
You have to use a Gysahl Green
use gysahl greens from the inventory
This summons the chocobo as a combat companion
Chocobo also serves as a mount
It does two things
thanks
Is the free trial back on steam? I invited a friend to play and we just see the paid versions there.
Steam might take a bit longer, resuming sales there also took longer
Standalone trial is back
I can't for the life of me figure out how to use macros for abilities with two names
You don’t
wdym
If it’s for combat
is xivlauncher bannable?
You either use auto translate or put the name in quotes in your macro
i am curious as i heard it has plugins to show status on discord and i was intrested in that part lol
so like /ac "skill name"
wdym by auto translate
So does the steam version
or press tab when typing the skill
thanks!
technically but SE doesn't really have any way of detecting it. so just don't talk about it in-game
oh.
oh okie.
boy i love scrolling
is there a way to show fps in the game by stock?
only way to show fps in game without mods is by opening the system config
dammit
the free trial is supposed to be back but not for the steam version does anyone know how if they changed anything? or do the people who want a free trial just wait longer untill they bring it back
steam just takes longer
its not for me, but I would like to share it with my friends that do
the same thing happened when the game went back on sale
I see
should be within the day, though
alright cool
So the bots caused the maintenance, ohh well
ARR relic weapons: Zodiac and Zeta
For someone who has had experience, what makes this expensive? I think I can craft some items
the materia and desynth items if you can't desynth
though iirc perfect items aren't as expensive nowadays
was about 90k a pop on brynhildr
there's also 4 vendor items that cost 100k each that you need
with no other method of obtaining them
so using Paragon's example of 90k times 8 for the Perfect Items along with the 400k worth of vendor items, you need just over 1m gil per zodiac weapon, not counting the 75 materia used in the novus step or the initial weapon for the first step.
That's on steam making the trial launcher available again on their end

Why hello Great CUL
the 10 euros on steam
I will do the Zodiac and Zeta passively, saving monies for 6.1
You get the base game and first expansion plus 30 days free gametime
I mean I did not get a second shiny Skysteel tool because that costs 80k
Afaik that the base game which is about 50% of the total game and includes 30 days of play time
The remaining 3 expansions are part of the Endwalker dlc
The mAteria part is done now
They only sell one dlc that contains everything to avoid confusion
@leaden ginkgo the complete edition is base game + dlc so thats an option too
Speaking of, will base game only also include 30 days?
so if i buy the base game i can play anytime i want? or after 30 days i need to pay?
We need a new purchasing jnfographic
Grabbing for a couple of friends so they can attend my Eternal Bond
After 30 days you have to buy more gametime
it's a subscription-based game
Base game in any form, whether via itself or complete edition includes 30days
yeah not worth it then
in my case
You're gonna have to pay a sub no matter what
talk to the guy who refused to make a new account and had to pay sub so he can use his Steam still
So basically, I wasted my free trial
The free trial that just resumed is the equivalent of the starter edition with restrictions if you want to try it out
Had to buy base and subbed to start MSQ
A friend of mine bought the base game years ago and now wants to know if she does have free access to heavensward, since it is included in free trial, or if she needs to buy the expansions in order to play heavensward
they should have it
yes, heavensward was rolled into the base game
they might need to re-sub to download it tho
Nice, thanks!
!iglam explorer's tunic
do data centers merge? Chaos plays with light?
okay
For future reference you can look it up on garlandtool https://www.garlandtools.org/db/#item/3201
For that specific piece there are a few share model, I recommend checking them out
The green ones usually aren’t dyable (?)
But the grey ones are, so you might wanna look
If you type in the item name and go to stat and under shared model, click on it
It will show everything with that same model
Theres only two of them greens
both aren't dyable
But this says there’s a few more pieces though
Idk I would try them all out cuz im not even sure if they dye the same way either
Some of them might due different cuz fabric or it dyed weird, who knows until they try it out in game
Sometimes you think the shirt dyed, but nope it’s actually the random piece of leather that you can barely see that dyed 
Garland tool at least would tell you where and what to look and from there you have to find it in game or some screenshot and see how it dyed on your own. But it’s a great tool
!faq altlvlguide
that should have a section on it
are there servers which are crowded with 1 language? like i dont want to accidently join a server where no one speaks english
!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
Potd is a bit confusing
Do i have to unlock floors 50-60 with an alt
No
And then switch to the job i wanna level
But its only 2 save slots
!faq potd
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
And you constantly delete them
:C
anyone knows what did they implement during the maintenance?
the emergency maint wasn't to add something
er well
Countermeasures against fraudulent activities for NPC stores have been implemented.
whatever that means
what
i'm surprised it's not to add additional instances to deal with load more effectively.
only one of the zones realistically would be a zone that sees heavy load
and that's limsa
gridania is fairly populated as well, at least on na
weird. maybe some item duping glitch or something
oh, it was due to that weird red-robed bot wave, who were duping
So there's not only gonna be regional dc transfer but also worldwide dc transfer? But they won't be inplemented at the same time right?
you're talking about datacenter travel, yes
because transfer is a very different thing
but yes, currently the intention for datacenter travel is within that region
expanding it to other regions is still a bit of a question
they said it is possible but it would be a very different matter than doing it for dcs that are in the same physical location
Darn, okay. Thought I heard something along the lines of that.
Ah okay
So it's like a maybe?
I was wondering what is the best server to pick when playing on EU? I've read in chats that chaos is toxic lately. Or is there maybe a website what describes all servers ''personalities''? Also can you switch between NA and EU?
They want to see how datacenter travel within each region impacts the gameplay first.
There are absolutely no meaningful differences between any of the dcs.
do we have any exp boosters, doing dungeons all evening got me only from 31 to 44 thats like 5 hours 🙈
Attributing a few instances of toxicity as proof that an entire datacenter, comprised of eight independent servers and tens of thousands of players, is inherently "toxic" is a sweeping generalisation of gross magnitude; and a few people saying so online, who are more than likely simply bitter about something or other, are not qualified to speak on the topic as a whole, and should not be listened to.
First question - dungeon roulettes or leveling dungeons?
Second question - first job or alt job?
Only this.
- i took every time the dungeon that was up to date to my lvl
- alt job
There are no cash shop items you can buy to increase experience gain, there are no consumables other than the +3% bonus from food.
!faq altlvlguide
there is job boosts that level a job to 80 instantly if you feel like throwing down the money
ow no i dont need any cash shop items just some scrolls, food or potions to boost it
Food (+3%), rested xp (+50%), armory (+100%), preorder earring if you have it (+100% until level 80).
Oh, and FC buff if you're in an FC
And they activate it.
thats what i need thnx, and yes i have a FC
Earring us only 30%
!item menphina's earring
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 80 and below. Attributes and item level vary according to class/job and current level when equipped.

how often is Fantasia discounted?
If something is lvl 39 gathering do i need to be that level to harvest it?
whenever SE feels like
It works in ranges of 5 levels or so
A level 80 node can be gathered as low as 76, for example
And a 75 would be available at 71
is there no prediction or history?
no
and it'd be 75/70
for nodes
they made it so its not longer the even levels, its a 0/5
Thank you! i need to level up to gather it.
hi guys which class is the reaper?
None.
Reaper doesn't have a base class, none of the expansion jobs do
huh but i saw a reaper in a video
!faq ewjobs
Endwalker Expansion Jobs: Reaper(Maiming DPS) and Sage(Healer).
These jobs start at level 70 and require ownership of the Endwalker Expansion, as well as a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic at level 70.
Job Unlock Locations:
Reaper - Flustered Attendant at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:12.8 Y:8.6) - Quest Name: The Killer Instinct
Sage - Sharlayan Maiden - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:9.4 Y:12.9) - Quest Name: Sage's Path
you need a job at lvl 70 and own endwalker to become a reaper
Oh so you have classes and alot of jobs
so you dont need to pick a class to get a job
so as a healer i can get a reaper job?
is there like a noob friendly class
And the gunz is also a job
ye
ah oke
It's easy to be mediocre as any job, I told you this last night
Is there like a mage ingame? that throws a gigantic meteor?
I don't like the healer class
How can you change class ingame>
Black Mage has fire
Switching weapons
So you have to buy a black mage weapon then right?
You need to unlock the class/job first through a
quest
what rotation do I have as RPR at lvl 80 now that I have the Enshroud skill
You get one when u start the class quest
Patch 6.05: Crest of Time Returned now 250 potency total. Now a bit less ludicrously strong.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of doing this job as the first melee you pick? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Reapers how to Reaper properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing ...
im trynna buy some craftin mats for the weeklies and the npc doesn't sell
oh no wait
might be at wrong floor O_O
Thaumaturge
How many mages?
3
I kinda like a big aoe damage mage
Summoner
Black mage
Red mage
counts more than you 
is there another discord server similar to The Balance?
AFAIK
No
Similar in what way
so what is the diffrence between dark and red mage?
Well one
Dark mage not a thing
can someone explain the meaning of the website? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/crafting_gathering_guide/ I mean you can see every single command ingame too
In addition to existing martial classes, you may also choose to become a Disciple of the Hand—one who synthesizes new items from materials on hand—or a Disciple of the Land—one who harvests Eorzea's natural resources from the field. Becoming proficient in one of these disciplines will help you acquire or create new items to aid you on your journ...
Black mage changes between fire to do big damage and ice to regen mana
Red mage uses spells to build gauge to do a short melee phase with big damage finishers
Black mage then
Then be BLM
thats what i want
Thanka youuu
Just fyi aoe are rarely used outside of dungeons
False
"oh boy i wanna throw out big spells!"
fire Iv: lvl 60

wdym false you can aoe in fates but there’s a good chance of getting your ass handed to you
Ok but
Real duties
?

Technicalities aren’t the point here
AoE isn't "rarely" used outside of dungeons.
It's reference
It's very commonly used outside of dungeons.
No it ain't
^
i mean all big attacks at 90 are AOE anyways
Rarely used aoe outside of dungeons
Maybe when group fate farming or something
please move on when it’s pretty irrelevant either way as well as incorrect
AoE is used primarily in dungeons and in FATE grinds

AoE = When exist more than 1 mob ( Used in Trials, Dungeons and open World like FATES)
Wait i just recreated a character and now im starting els here in a big city instead in the forest
ye
Is it because i picked a diffrent class?
yep
Starting city depends on your class.
Ah k
you don't need to make a new character to change class
ACN, MRD = Limsa
THM, GLD, PGL = Ul'dah
LNC, ARC, CNJ = Gridania
But yeah, like Lyon said, you don't need to make a whole new character to change class.
That's like, one of the biggest selling points for XIV.
One character can be everything
What does this mean? you get a key?
Means you don't meet the requirements for that quest.
The "key" is meeting the requirements.
im just doing all these quest, is that good?
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
do your main story and your class quests.
nice
thx
keep in mind that theres 800 msq quests before reaching cap
so its more to focus on yellow sidequests for later
MSQ are "but thou must" content.
You can save them for never unless you want to do them for the fluff.
If you don't do MSQ, you can't go anywhere else.
are not very good for exp
Doing all of the
in the game is not quite enough xp to level a single class.
what is msq?
Main Scenario Quests
They're the main storyline of the game, and take you through the entire adventure from level 1 to level 90 (currently)
It's literally 5 entire standalone games-worth of content.
Nice so i dont have to do side quest to do a main story quest?
Nope
well a few times ye
Yeah, more than enough xp from MSQ to just go through straight.
theres a few 24 man raids and hard trials
but otherwise you can interact with as much as you want
You may hit a wall at a couple of points in the late ARR (first story arc) content where you need to do a couple of dungeons to level up and do the next MSQ, but for the most part you can go through with no issues.
!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.
Just do the quests indicated in the tracker ^ and you'll be good.
Direct continuation of the story
Another full length addition to the game
the size of a standalone game
with linear continuation of the main story
and a very large amount of content
Starter is only the first 2 "books" , you have to buy endwalker to get the next 3 "books" 
Check
is it with the same evil guy or another new story?
Yes and no.
It's all the same story that's connected but not always fighting the same thing/having the same themes
From 2.0 (A Realm Reborn) through Endwalker (6.0), we've had the same major villains running things behind the scenes. But each expansion also tends to have arc villains.
Think of it as a complete series of books. Each book has its own self-contained conflicts, but the series is also being driven by a main villain behind the scenes, who only makes an appearance at the climax of the final book.
As you go through the story, you're given hints (sometimes hints that you don't even know are hints) about the motives and endgame of that main villain, but mostly you're too distracted by the more immediate threats of war, invasion, and summoned gods that you have to kill.

Is it normall that you don't hear them talk in a cutscene?
yep
They had a much smaller budget in ARR compared to now.
which is still pretty egregiously small compared to what it should be
They had the actual numbers in the most recent live letter, but the number of voiced lines increased by something like 3x between ARR and 5.3
when i buy the game do i lose everything from the free trial? i noticed i cant pick certain persons in the character made.. Or can i delete my character when i buy the game and make a new one
No
You can keep your character
Everything comes with you
You’re just upgrading your account
okay but i can delete my character? or remake it because i kinda wanted the bunny girl but welp
You can but you also get one free race/gender change when you complete the story up to level 50

in a weird predicament here, im at lvl 88 on my pld trying to run the lvl 87 dungeon while running the msq
and my ilvl is too low
but I cant buy anything that will bring my ilvl up without making my gear worse
have you not been using the gear you got from dungeons and msq 
i have, thats the weird thing
You should have been given ample gear
its been split between jobs tho
but all the recent stuff was used on my plf
:/
pld
then youre going to be undergeared
no but all the old gear thats dropped is worse than the stuff I have anyway
You have any unopened coffers, or dungeon drops that aren’t in your armoury?
Run vanaspati again.
I would just run 85 dungeon then tbh.
you can buy the HQ msq gear on the mb
Crafting
The ilvl requirement for 87 isn’t high so you must be severely undergeared
Do you have pieces lower than i530?
It's 515 so it means you aren't in cryptlurker

Yep

Your gear is insanely low and I’m surprised you can even get through MSQ duties
Buy cryptlurker and go to the marketboard to buy whatever high ilvl stuff you’re missing since it’s cheap
how have you been able to do msq even, jfc
Buy level 80 cryptlurker gear with poetics in Eulmore for any slots that are currently lower than i530.
your poor healers 
515 is for 87
isn't the lvl 80 stuff you can buy from Sharlayan better than the poetics stuff?
85 is 510 required
No
Lol no
It’s worse
Till 87 it’s worse
ah
vendor gear is NQ
Cryptlurker is the best 80 gear in the game period
But you carry cryptlurker up to 89 (considering you didn’t fuck up and not get the 89/90 gear for free)
holy fuck
yall are so fucking mean its insane. im not gonna explain to you everything about how I play the game so you can understand why I have this gear and not that other gear. I was just wondering if there was something I was missing
we told you what you're missing
No one was mean.
you are absurdly undergeared.
youre missing the whole cryptlurler set of gear that you buy with poetics at lvl 80 after you finish shb
which is i530
530
530
You are playing the game in a way that is not viable and is detrimental to others
Please buy cryptlurker
it is completely viable and fine
No
That is incorrect.
Your healers have hated you
if it was viable you would be able to do the dungeon lmao
And been struggling
It’s not when you’re actively using worse gear than what you should have at a lower level
You have inflicted horror on your healers
It is clearly not if you can barely meet the extremely low ilvl requirements.
Your gear is worse than even crafted 80 gear
Being at the bare minimum means everyone else has to pick up the slack and carry
Unless you've been doing trusts you've been giving your healers constant heart attacks.
please don't try to tell people who have been playing the game longer than you what you think is viable
Making people carry your baggage is a dick move
"I really like to challenge myself as a tank, and so increase the difficulty of the game by not using tank stance."
In the distance, 2 DPS and a healer that are going to need PTSD trauma counciling
my sage on the last dungeon barely used anything that wasnt kardia, I have been using the accesories from the free crystarium set that you get, the stats on that gear is the same as other gear with just a lower ilvl
I didnt wanna waste my poetics on the gear that raised ilvl
cause I know Im gonna want them later
That is not true
What?
.....kardia is a status you set and leave on
You do realize that higher lvl means better stats overall
ilvl is a measurement of stat scaling
yeah that heals people when you spam dosis
Higher ilvl gear has better stats
it heals people VERY LITTLE
Just because 80 gear is 80 gear doesn’t mean it’s “good enough” compared to cryptlurker
“I don’t wanna waste poetics on better gear”
Have you been single pulling dungeons
Literally the first few quests give stuff higher than crystarium
It’s barely something to keep you alive
It’s a complementary heal
even single pulling.... that would fucking hurt
you're telling me your sage went through the entire dungeon without using a healing spell on you, thats simply impossible, especially with your low gear
Clemency
I’m sure your sage had to use rhizomata in under 15s


also saving poetics is unnecessary since the game throws them at you
But yeah the minimum ilvl is there to stop people with obnoxiously low ILVL of joining dungeons before you should hit you also shouldn’t be scrapping barely past the minimum requirement when there’s cheap to near free options on better gear
The stats on Crystarium are much lower than cryptlurker. Moreover even cryptlurker is low ish for 87 but it’s better than what you’ve got and will at least let you in the dungeon.
youre MEANT to spend them on the poetics gear at the end of each expac
thats the whole point
You may think a sage healed you last time with little more than Kardia, but this is unrealistic and you likely did not realise they were doing much more.
Especially since they can’t be used in current expansion content
Poetics are handed out like candy and you don’t need to be frugal with them.
Go get your cryptlurker pieces
As a sage, if i got you as a tank I would leave
sandbag and wait for votekick availability, to prove a point.
didnt think I'd have to give full context but wtvr. I was doing msq on my AST, it hit 90 around the level 85 quests cause I had it over leveled. So I switched do doing the quests on my PLD just to get more practice with the job and to not waste the xp. the coffers you get pre 85 were all dropped on my AST cause its my main job and I wanted the gear on it. When switching to my PLD all I had was a lvl 80 crystarium set that I got ages ago, I popped all the coffers I got from that point forward but none of it was enough fr me to hit the ilvl requirement for the lvl 87 dungeon
theres your context
buy cryptlurker
So buy your cryptlurker
If you have poetics, get cryptlurker
500 ilevel is the min requirement for the first ew dungeon, so you need better gear to level it
And just to get the best gear for patch content
cryptlurker lasts til 85 but its enough to get you into all the dungeons
Did you know
You're wrong
I’m not wrong because it’s easy to buy so you can get it on alt jobs also
why would you waste 2000+ poetics on an alt job lmao

This didn't change anything about what you've been told. You lack the appropriate gear because you invested the majority into a class you are not currently playing as.
Poetics is free and you cap them in a day
“Waste”

Because that’s not much and it’s BiS until 85
because poetics are literally thrown at you and youre meant to spend them on the best gear in the game for that level?
I fail to see how this means it's not for your main job either
What the fuck else is there to spend it on
anima 
Literally been capped on poetics for months
you realize that cryptluker is better than all the gear msq gives you until 85
Do old savage raids, 60/70/80, still have gear lockout restrictions?
And because you literally need it to progress because, as the game is informing you, your gear is literally too low
Buy cryptlurker
End of discussion
Progress > Glam
I also fail to see how anything you've said is contributing to the conversation coward
Thank you!
That’s the solution to your problem and is what your expected to do
spending down poetics is one of the most tedious things you can do in the game. They keep re-capping and for some reason YoshiP has decided that giving you a 10k poetic bank is too technologically difficult
You should buy poetics gear at every expansion level cap
You do realize I was here before you parachuted into the convo and spoke a lot before I saw there was nothing else to add on
you realize that cryptluker is better than all the gear msq gives you until 85
and this is true of all poetics gear in old expansions, because thats how gearing in this game works
Their prime function
Tower of zott min ilevel is 500, just the crystarium gear you got from msq won't get you there fully
Talking about the 87 dungeon Kat
In case you think you need to save them for 90, you can’t buy 90 gear with them
There are separate tomestones for endgame.
^
You can, you just have to wait for another expansion.
poetics are specifically for gear that isnt max level
max lvl always uses different tomes
Poetics are literally designed for what we are telling you to do.
Another source is again, also just go to the market board and buy one of the thousands of cheap HQ vendor gear that’s there
If you don’t want to waste your tomestones for the exact same purposes
i need to make a gearing flowchart like now 
Spending gil instead of poetics would be inadvisable
The gear is CHEAP cheap, and you can’t buy all of the pieces of tomestone gear in one go
Also again, marketboard, it’s lower than vendor and HQ
Unless it’s really cheap
i mean, there's nothing at level 90 to use poetics on anyway lol
But on my server that stuff goes for a chunk
may as well just buy gear that immediately helps you
Poetics are very easy to get and theres no reason to hoard them since they have no relevance in current endgame
On light, crystal and Aether they’ve been lower than vendor and pretty cheap
And yeah
Saving it for 7.0
I'll stop.
some of its pretty damn cheap. The point of confusion for me was that the base stats like block or just the damage stat on a weapon were lower on the higher ilvl gear
You need to buy hq only
