oh no wonder there's so many people doing crystal tower raids now
takes about 2-3 weeks to get through ARR i suppose
what is the name of that one emote where you hold two like glowing things and start directing them like youre the police
there are always people doing crystal tower raids
what would be good to sell to make money
just seems like i've been getting it more often than usual....and recently it's been with people who have no idea of the mechanics
there are three, I think the one you're thinking of would be /cheeron
It’s a cash shop emote
glowstick emotes from a past little ladies' day

does embolden stack ?
Did they adjust the drop rates for whistle mounts?
have no idea, afaik been like this since i finished MSQ around 5.4
It has a high chance of dropping, I got all of them just from doing wondrous tail weekly
I suddenly noticed a slight improvement in drops for some doggies
But maybe that’s just me
Just you
They buff the rates of that trials mounts after 2 major patches only
All dogs have been rate buffed since shadowbringers
The different forms of the buff do
So two RDMs would benefit from each other, but the buff is wasted on everyone else
is there not an in-game description of what 'enhanced flare' is or something? I cant find it in my spell book or traits
what's enhanced flare? 🤔
If it’s not there, then it’s not real?
is there any way to fix this awful stuttering crowd sound coming from nowhere?
why isn't it embedding
!action high fire ii
Deals fire damage with a potency of 140 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
Astral Fire Bonus: Grants Enhanced Flare
Effect is canceled if Astral Fire ends.
this is what it sounds like when i'm flying
!trait enochian
!action flare
Deals fire damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 40% less for all remaining enemies. Enhanced Flare Potency: 280
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Astral Fire.
The result is you want to make sure you cast HF2 at least twice before rolling flares in your aoe fire phase (though iirc, you actually maximize damage with 3)
Where do i farm irregular tomestone of lore?
You don’t
With a time machine
That event has long passed
if you use triplecast it's best to have HF2 triplecast HF2 Flare Flare
Oh so i cant obtain them anymore. The moogle is there to tease me
A new version of that event begins Tuesday at least
No it’s there for people that still haven’t used theirs for some reason
Rewards will be slightly different but it’ll work the same
Sad, wish i knew about it sooner, i wanted some of the mounts
You can still get them? None of those were exclusive
the tome is exclusive, you no longer can get thema faik
Talking about the mounts
ah yeah
Which mount were you wanting to get?
only the earring/ring was limited edition usually
laurel gobbue

Ok cool ill wait for that then
Is the card game in the golden saucer the same as the one from FF IX?
It’s Triple Triad, not Tetra Master. The game from 8 not 9.
I didn't play 8
its not the same from 9 thank goodness
this may be a dumb question, but if an item is listed as a tombstone rarity does that mean that it can bought from a tomestone vendor? I found this piece of gear that I really want from the shadowbringers alliance raid that was listed as having a tomestone rarity on the ffxiv fandom website.
I'm not sure what that means since there's no such rarity scale but alliance raid gear only drops from the raids
I don't really need an explanation since the answer to your question is what I said
You can't buy alliance raid gear with tomes
Or from a vendor at all
thats what I thought. Must have been a typo on the website I was using
is there like a "same model as ____" tool for finding the dyeable version of non-dyeable gears?
I dont see one on gamerescape
nvm found it, 'shared models"
I'm am new players I'm am lvl one Can't your help me
How do you roll a dice? Is it /random 5 for a roll from 1 to 5?
Play the video game
Is long
Correct.
I don't have times playing games
If you have both 590 and 600 gear piece, but only 590 piece is BiS. Would you still use the 600 piece over the 590 BiS piece?
i600 is almost certainly better until you can upgrade the 590
Thank you!

if im 450/450 astronomy for the week and i turn in khloe's journal rank 1 do I get those 50 or should i wait till reset?
Capped means capped
ok ty
The game will also warn you that you can't accept any more of them if that's the situation.
So unless the journal expires this week, I'd hold it and turn it in Tuesday.
do I have to get 36 people to queue alliance raid normally?
pre-made in PF
not unrestricted
Be a bit hard considering they're 24 man
alliance raid is 24 man, consist 3 of 8man party. you can queue solo like normal duty, prmade PF can be an alliance PF or just party PF
party PF just find slot for 8 people (1 tank, 2 healer, 5 dps) then you can queue using DF to find the other 16 people. idk how alliance PF works though, I guess you can enter with like 20 people using DF and the DF will find the remaining 4 people for you. The only requirement is ilvl and obey the 1 tank 2 healer 5 dps rule
if you managed to get 24 man from PF though, you can ingore the ilvl and party composition
ah yeah it was weird
we found 22 people
when we queue normally in DF, it says not enough people 😹
I guess It has to be 8/16/24 ?
maybe
Yeah, if you're queueing as an alliance leader, I am not confident the game will fill you any missing slots.
does anyone know what armor this is? i can repost in a different channel if needed
Bottom is the ninja af gear
Don't remember which one
Ninja af?
Oh :/ haha rip
That ninja looks dope but so does the sam i dont have a ninja so imma do tje sam but i need to know what its called haha
Well I found the original poster
But they didn't say what gear they used (literally screw you if you do that)
But it was from 4 years ago so that limits us to storm blood and before that
rip :/ i hate people that do that
@regal pawn I found it
Just incase u wanna copy it
that's not the same 
No?
oh u right
cause it has the cat ears
Ah my bad
Omg ty!!❤️
tyvm!❤️
does HQ matter for the 10 leve crafting leves (L)?
Can I dip my character into the lifestream to make it more powerful?
I'm pretty sure it is.
if you've beaten heavensward it definitely isnt
My character's age is 3 days
Don't be mean. I was asking a serious question
probably should ask that in a lore channel
i already answered it
it doesnt sound like he got past HW so #archived-lore-spoilers would be spoilers
No... But I've played Final Fantasy 7
that has nothing to do with this game
there are references, but FFXIV is completely a separate thing
will buying EW upgrade my entry sub to a standard sub?
no
Expansions have nothing to do with your sub
so im fine with the entry sub as long as i only have 1 character
yes
oohh okay thanks
Hello, new to the channel. I've been playing on and off for the last 5 years. Only now am I wanting to get into the game more. But I am very confused as to how to unlock certain classes/jobs. I'm still not done with Realm Reborn. My character is an Archer Bard Level 45. Right now before I continue with the MQS, I want to learn how to extract materia. I've googled the quests to do that. The problem I am having is being unable to unlock classes like alchemist. Even though I'm on level 45 in the game, I can't advance through the quests in order to do the ones needed to extract materia.
When u unlocked alchemist, did u equip the tool they gave u
any way of increasing controller sensitivity?
err, camera sensitivity
on controller
Whats the fastest collectable fish to farm to get crafting mentor?
You just unlock jobs by going to the guild, and equip the thing they give you
I keep getting quest is not available. Required job/class, disciple of the hand Lv19. But when I try to start a new class like alchemist in Uldah, I get required class/job ALC. How do I unlock this so I can do quests for alchemist to get to Lv19?
You didn’t equip your alc gear, so you’re not currently an alchemist
yeah, just change to any doh lv 19
!item weathered alembic
They gave you this when you unlocked it, put it on
Fastest way to finish 5 different leve plates challenge? i.e. where i can just buy stuff and turn it over. can't seem to find a guide wherein i can the fastest 5 different leve plates thing
Where do I equip it?
if you havent messed with your default settings at all, your armor inventory (ctrl i)
weapons are what determines your current class
Or the character menu (C) because you should also make a gear set
Shit, I might have discarded it by accident.
Then buy another, that’s what vendors are for
Okay, thanks
What is the max score and reward for airforce? Was I close?
Nevermind, dumb question S means top, right?
5k iirc
Sounds bout right
You missed a silver
Special bonus for a special score? Or just 3000 at S rank?
There’s achievements for getting perfects
How do you get that pose/emote and what is it called?
Well, name will be enough I can search for it myself then
Is she like trying to cool herself?
Yes
Heaven on High
Thank you
It is an emote you can get by exchanging whatever the postherd or what drops in HoH like every 10 levels iirc
How do I lock additional hotbars? The only only one that has a lock icon is 1
the lock applies to them all
Got it
If I did the ARR whm relic weapon and finished it, and then turned it in to speed up the HW relic weapon... can I do the ARR whm relic weapon again?
I don’t know why you would
thinking about doing it again so I can just keep all the weapons on a retainer for collections sake
Just buy the replicas
not the replica
i mean yeah but the HW step is just doing fates
as stupid and pointless as it is
I only know relic weapon starting from HW is repeatable
ARR though.... Idk, it seems ARR relic uses different quest system
nope... I guess you can only do it for each job once 😢
empyrean potsherd i think it's called
Hey I have redeemed my Endwalker code, but I stil cant choose Viera as my race! Why is this?
I dont even know if the redeem applied..
wait I am having a 20 minute update now
is it that?

How do I use Hall of the novice?

You walk up to The Smith as the class/job you want to partake in the hall of the novice and then you choose what course you want to do, you get a duty pop, you commence and follow the instructions
Rinse and repeat till it is done
It should be in your duty in your main menu
assuming you already unlocked it
will the alliance raid gear be better or equal to the current savage gear when its released?
Can I report a healer who kept using rescue on me in situations when he shouldn't especially after I told him "if you want me to move closer tell me" and he proceeded to pull me for no reason whatsoever, I am on BLM
I guess yeah
You can report people for whatever. Whether or not the GMs who review it take you seriously is another matter.
But this just felt like griefing 🤷♂️
I told him, I read chat if you want me to move closer, tell me and I will and at the last boss he just runs to the boss pulls me in and jumps around
yeah I'll do it then
FF1 minion?
warrior of light
its the same minion as the other ff1 minions
iirc
ah ok ty ty, it's randomised yeah?
Hmm nope
how can I choose to use the BLM one all the time? 😹
I mean WoL and Onion Knight are separate
The FF1 is randomized however
If you mean that crystal thing
what's the variance in parsing between 95-99 due to crit rng assuming perfect play?
this one*
woot, isn't it different for each class?
like how many of those people are in 95-99 bracket I assume? 🤔
assuming a class that doesn't give raidwide buffs
like if you play perfectly, can you get 95 just due to sheer crit rng?
for MCH its like anywhere from 85-99 based on crits lol
that must be frustrating ;c
parseing is practically its own subgame at high end stuff
some jobs its like "did you kill at a good time? no? rip ur parse then"
DNC is the most "hope ur SAM is bussin" job when looking at parsing
Is 1.7 million gil considered a lot of money? I was thinking about buying some nice looking glam but that's about the cheapest I can find this weapon
id say closer to 4 mil
its a decent sum but not too much for most players
I'm like a third of the way through Endwalker and currently have 6.2 mil fwiw
I don't spend a lot but the Hades weapons look soooo cool...
yeah, afaik should be around that 🤔 when I finished mine I got like 10m+ but I did side things like unlocked all blue quests and level doh/dol
ic ic
Yea I haven't touched doh/dol yet but I'm planning on bringing them up after I finish Endwalker
but yeah, if you could craft the glamour yourself, you'll save plenty of gil
sounds like i need to level my crafters soon lol
Changing the skin color of my character costs irl $ ?
The actual ability to craft doesn't generally save that much Gil these days, honestly
is this where i can ask for help for duties?
A Fantasia yeah
cant seem to find anyone for my duty finder. D:
What's the duty and how long have you been waiting
You get one fantasia for free at the end of the ARR msq but idk if you used that yet
ARR ?
A realm reborn. the base game
If u just started out u can just delete the character and start again
Sri Lakshmi
I bought the story skips
Would I still have it?
ah yeah it's NA non-peak time
Higher level trials can be a bit of a struggle
nope story skip also ski fantasia
No
Having said that, shouldn't really be that bad on Friday night
Nope
Ah, thats sad
Emanation duty finder
i have a friend who's a tank but he's busy atm
i run WHM
surprised to have a harder time than i thought.
Trials don't favour healer queues nearly as hard as dungeons do
ah
also its in the middle of the night for the us
It's 1am PST on a Friday, it's not the worst case
these are my awake hours lol

maybe try to make a pf for it
found one tank and one DPS
But you're probably looking at 15m-30m if I was etting
8-man trial
Betting*
i feel like my food delivery will end up arriving before i even find a full party
lol
Out of curiosity, would there be new bis food in 6.1?
probably not before 6.2 when we get the new tier
maybe some new crafter/gatherer food with 6.1 but no raid food
nice, time to craft 99 Pumpkin Potage
Combat BiS along with combat crafted gear usually drop at the same time a new savage tier drop (so every even patch) and crafter BiS (left side coming 6.1 and right side coming 6.3 afaik) + new crafter food are usually in odd patches
oh so pumpkin potege was 6.1?
No it was 6.0
I don't quite remember when it arrived lol
We still haven’t gotten 6.1 yet
oh right
6.0 is the new expansion so you got a lot of new stuff
But afaik the savage stuf drop at the same time as savage
6.0 is technically a raid tier patch, so
6.05 (?) was when the tier dropped. Same for the combat BiS gear and consumables
Does anyone know what /sea actually does?
I just hope my barely enough to craft 580 combat gear is good enough for the 6.1 gear
Late 6.1
Well
You can augment the gear when you do your weekly alliance raid when that drop
But the weapon is later, I don’t know exactly when. But before 6.2 for sure
Idk about aug crafted. I don’t think it’s worth it
I don’t think you can pentameld Aug crafted
you can't yeah
And the extra substat it gives might not be as good as the Aug tome or the new alliance raid gear which you get for free pretty much
related to EW, ||can i use emet, hythlo and venat for all dungeons from 81-90?||
I've been collecting all the gear sets I can buy with Allagan Tomes of Poetics. I have a full set of Augmented Shire Custodian's Gear and Augmented Shire Pankratiast's Gear. When I select Recommended Gear for my Level 60 GNB, it always selects the Pankratiast's jewelry instead of the Custodian's jewelry. Is there any way to make it not do that? Don't seem to have this problem with Augmented Ironworks gear
what are the substats
custo also tenacity
Really there is basically no difference between the 2 sets
All that matters is that they have the same strength and vitality
ah okay, makes sense: I'll live with it then. Thanks!
Is there any 'global' benefit to getting a class to level 90, if I already have a level 70 character(To unlock sage/reaper)?
i mean you'd always have the armoury bonus for every other job
What's that?
and farming old content goes super fast with a lvl 90
red chips
!faq armorybonus
fuckin
How come? Sorry I've returned to the break from a... 6 month break? idek
!faq armourybonus
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 90 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 79, which then reduces to +50% for level 80 to 89. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
It's okay I'll google
Oh
Oh I see, so as long as I have a higher-level class than my current one I get bonus exp. Anything else?
not too much
gotta crank the msq up to 90 before you start seeing useage for lvl 90 jobs
Oh, naturally. My Astro is 65 with level 60 MSQ :/
sounds like the perfect time to pick up GNB or DNC
but yeah no real big things if you're still just doin msq
I do want to play sage though
Just figured maybe I should focus a little longer on Astro so I can get it to 90, but apparently not many reasons to do so*
kinda confused rn , the unspoiled item nodes for collectables have cooldown ? or can i only harvest them once in the 2 hours
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Content_Unlock is a list of everything that unlocks by level: after level 70 it's mostly just dungeons, raids, and trials
Before I look, do the names contain any spoilers? Or can I just take your word for it
@patent citrus can i haverst it multiple times ? because the tree wont give me anything after the first harvest
I mean it lists all the dungeons, trials, and raids that unlock, so..
extra %, extra amount, everything, spend all GP lol
I'll take your word for it :P
@patent citrus Vielen Dank
if you want to play SAGE, don't need to look at that
just continue MSQ, up your job level, then unlock SGE at Limsa
It only have req of owning endwalker and lv 70 any dow/dom
Right, and I'm not there yet. It's just that.. I dont really enjoy Astro after this little endwalker rework
change weapon, use something else, do roulette and dungeon spam to level up
SCH is pretty simliar to SGE
you can play that instead
I thought maybe I could unlock SAM/GNB and try those out. I heard that they're pretty fun
I have scholar, it's cute. I didn't like it too much though
yeh, try em all
well it's quite similiar to SGE playstyle, so 👀
SGE has a ton of oGCDs though!
Like pretty beefy ones too,I know Scholar has fairy but it doesn't 'feel' as impactful
so does sch at 70
SCH as well
!action excogination
Grants self or target party member the effect of Excogitation, restoring HP when member's HP falls below 50% or upon effect duration expiration.
Cure Potency: 800
Duration: 45s Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1
Right, again - It's just that sage feels powerful, and Scholar... not as much. At least not at level 58
comparing jobs at anything but max level is not a good idea anyway
their performance will indeed fluctuate
Yeah, but I'm not max level - not even close
but you haven't even unlocked SGE though
I'm sure astro becomes really fun at 90 but I'm not there
how do you know that it's powerful, lol
Yes ofc, I'm just saying it's best to not draw conclusions based on anything but max level
I saw dungeons. The playstyle looks beefy
Absolutely
personally i found sage didnt really have the big fun heals as much as sch did but also i dont like shield healing
playstyle looks beefy
I just don't like it when the game feels like a grind
... Right, I dont care about the meta. I care about pressing keys honestly
If I feel impactful then that's all that matters, that's how I have fun
all fun and games until you're all shine but no punch
Astro wasn't incredible before endwalker, but rotating cards(even though I sucked at it) was fun for me
well luckily the meta literally is "everything is good"
Yep
it's ok, that's generally what we advice to people as well 😹
choose what's shiny for you, then play it
So I'll do what looks fun - Right now sage looks pretty fun. And Astro isn't fun for me anymore after they removed all of our redraws
How do I get started in the skybuilders thing? I talked to a bunch of NPCs in the firmament but I'm still super lost. It looks like I need special skybuilders items to be able to craft anything...? I'm completely lost.
do the yellow quest that look different to other round yellow quest
If i play on ps4, buying the complete edition, I can do that through the site or the playstation store or just the playstation store or site works?
So I can't craft collectables unless I collect the materials from Diadem?
yep ishgard resto have their own materials
How do I get to the diadem?
you gather the materials from diadem, let the NPC check the mats if it's usable
then you used the mats to craft ishgard resto recipe
do all the yellow quest that slightly tall and thin compared to other yellow quest that are round shaped
that's the blue quest version of instanced area
Oh there was no quest like that, I think I did it ages ago, but I found it anyway so nvm
yeh, gathering part is left side of the entrance when you enter
crafter side is on the right side where you hand in the collectables
Huh, interesting. Ty for the help
Just for the record, you can also buy the mats from the market board
yeah, look for the highest grade, that's the one usable currently
grade before the current won't be useful for levelling up
And I probably shouldn't attack the level 80 mobs I'm seeing everywhere?
when you gathering, the bar with 5 charges filled up, use it to kill the mobs
everytime you gather, you are charging a proton cannon a that you can use to kill those mobs
then you can get a mixed btn/min materials from those mobs
you can use proton cannon by dragging the duty action 1 or 2 in your /actionlist -> general
I forgot which one
Beast dailies count against the day they were taken, rather than complete, yeah?
if you still have active quest, your allowances wont reset, so there is nothing like having active quest and still has 12 available allowances

Is there a guide for farming PotD Weapons fast?
spam floors 51-60 and open up any silver chests you encounter along the way
farming to 99/99 or you just want the shiny weapons?
but yeah for farming the hilt, just spam 51-60, then trade whenever you reach 40-50
On ps4 here, I bought it through the psn store and it registered my license just fine
potd and hoh have shiny reaper weapons
it's the stormblood deep dungeon
help. 😭 i’ve tried everything i can think of but my game still keeps crashing when i try to log in. i’ve already reinstalled drivers, reinstalled the game, turned my pc off and on again, set graphics to lower settings. no luck. what dooo
just did so, thanks
(weird bc my pc can handle games like witcher 3 but not ffxiv)
the subscription is paid through the website though right?
Yeah it is! You can also access to it by pressing on the banner in the login launcher when you start the game
Through mogstation iirc
gooot it thanks
Did they make changes to the roulette EXP payouts? I did an alliance raid and got 25% of a level, and like 14% for 50/60/70/80.
This is at level 78, not even 50/60/70/80
that one isnt good for exp
That's not what I'm asking lol.
I know it's not, I'm pretty sure it was closer to 25% though
well alliance raids also just give more exp in general compared to a lvl cap dungeon
alliance raid was always around 25-30% of a level in my experience
50% is msq
Sad, I'm on console so can't really help with that but if nothing else works I would like to suggest trying contact the support team with a ticket on this site https://support.na.square-enix.com/main.php?la=1&id=5382
No problem, have fun!
can i ask for help on a hairstyle in this channel?
#glamour-discussion is prolly better, or #beginner-lounge
how do i get retainers?
go to a retainer vocate

okay
also how do i put stuff in my amorire
only special stuff
I default to glam dresser for stuff but it’ll say if it fits in the armoire
on your own, yes
There are NPC melders in each main city that will do fill visible melding slots for you for a fee, marked on the map with a blue materia icon
if you want to overmeld your crafted gear, you'll need to do it yourself or request it from other players
You'll need all or most the crafters for that eventually iirc
Once you made a FC can you change the name and tag or will it remain the same forever?
You can change it
Oh where? Can't find the option
You mean the one who sells actions etc.?
The one you talk to to create an fc in the first place
Ahh right
I'm guessing btw
Makes sense
My old fc leader mentioned changing the tag
No problem, love the help anyways
I see, there's a bit of background behind this, been some drama event so I want to give a new refreshing look and name to it
I'll try when I can play
hi mb if this is a dumb question but how do i know which boss to go for when there's 3 in 24 man raids? havent really done a lot of them yet so im a bit unsure
As a general rule of thumb, at least for NA:
Alliance A gets West
Alliance B gets North/South
Alliance C gets East
for fights where you need to keep enemies apart
oooooh alright
I thought it's just A/B/C gets left/mid/right respectively
That's the same as what Wynne said
My brain is like "what if the arena doesn't face north"
almost all of them do, tbf
Technically a square/circle doesn't face any direction
what is the best food for crafting?
anyone knows which crafters has the least expensive materials for leveling through scrips exchange? 👀 lv 81-90
I forgot the full name..
!item tsai tou vounou
ty!
Whats aethersand for?
Giant Haddock Dip if you need Craftsmanship/Control instead of CP
general crafting material, usually for Alchemist
I think this is gonna change in 6.1 btw
how do you obtain aethersand? is through gathering?
yep, from aetherially reducing specific collectables
Which is desynth ing specific collectables btw
i didnt know desynthing collectables was a thing o.o
Iirc some collectables have no other use? I found some in my inv I couldn't trade for scrips
Only "rarefied" ones can be traded, right?
4 types of collectables, ones for aetherial reduction, ones for quests, ones for custom deliveries, ones for scrip turn ins
I just only recently discovered collectables were a thing so I'm a newbie, appreciate mentioning the different types of them!
What's the fastest way to farm lots of scrips for gatherers usually?
leveling through scrips exchange is so expensive O_O
All the Rarefied ones are for the white/purple scrips
are leve usually cheaper?
very much depends on the level
GSM at lv 81
I wonder if I should level this one through custom delivery and choose the other doh that's more common
I'll try leve then 👀
Leve also has challenge log for completing them so it's some convenient bonus exp I'd say
I have no Gil to invest into levelling, I have Botanist at 60 and the other gatherers at 15. Do I finish levelling gatherers before I get into levelling crafters or should I level my crafters alongside my gatherers?
Yeah I think that's going to be my plan too
Probably get gatherers to 50 each
Then work on the crafters
Hey a fellow Louisoix player! Well I prioritized gatherers first
I level'd through ishgard restoration 1-80 I found leveling DoH and DoL together prevent me burning out from diadem 10-80

also it saves your inventory slot lol
I've been doing log and leves, diadem seemed so painful
any lower level stuffs that you don't use anymore, you can just put into marketboard much earlier
White or Purple Scrips?
Same location 💤
As in gear?
Or the gathered items
diadem materials, yeah
Okay cool, then I'll do diadem instead then
White! But if you can say for purples I'd appreciate too!
What's the level you need to get into diadem again, 30 right?
Purple is basically all the level 90 rarefieds for MIN/BTN
they spawn in a neat consistent pattern
Ocean Fishing gives a good chunk of white scrips, otherwise you are looking at collectables and deliveries afaik
Ah so the fish from ocean fishing can be traded for whites?
I desynthesized all of them, I'm so bad
you get the white scrips as a reward from the trip
afaik 10 🤔
or is it 15?
10
GM ... nice just saw 6.1 is mid april ...
oooo0o - New Mounts, Minions, and Emotes
do we know when in MidApril ?
April 14 maybe ??
Oh alright, is score counted towards the final amount of scrips received?
Thank you for all your replies!

it's based on specific fish you catch, AFAIK
white scrips come from the green-rarity fish that aren't from the spectral currents
or at least those fish give a decent amount
I see thanks, ocean fishing got a lot more exciting now
It was already super fun, with the extra scripts it's looking even more compelling
Speaking of which, can I ask something about ocean fishing in this channel?
how do you add a friend?
sure, though I recommend checking out this discord for all fishing-related needs. https://discord.gg/AnFaDpN
right-click their name in the chat log or through the player search or contacts menu
thats the thing player search is annoying uh do they have to be online at that moment?
yes
it also won't show people in a dungeon
I can't complete "I dream of Shirogane" because I can't travel to the wards area thing, I think because nobody lives there?
no housing for materia till 6.1
so any housing blue quests can't be finished till then
Ah so I might as wall abandon it
you need to keep it to your journal, lavender/mist/goblet all same
well, then you might forget about it 👀
Oh well 
Yeah I think I'll do just that, might be a long question about baits etc. And don't want to clutter this channel with streams of fish
this is a good site for tracking fishing boats and baits for fish
Schedule for upcoming ocean fishing voyages with information on blue fish, achievements, and more.
A little curiosity, how do I know when a housing plot is available for buying? (If that ever happens of course
)
tells you which boats are good for what achievements
check districts manually
Hey all. I have I played a realm reborn years ago and want to get back into the game. I'm starting from scratch and was curious between bard and dragoon. Any opinions are appreciated.
What about them?
you are choosing your starting class right?
I'm not sure which one would be more new player friendly
both are
the game will teach you from zero to hero
as long as you are reading the tooltip that is 👀
Sounds good. I'll watch some gameplay video and jump on in. Thanks all.
But can I tell on the minimap when a plot is free by the icon? Or in the district menu? Or have to check by physically being there?
Open plots show their prices on the ward list
And are marked with a hammer on the map
It will not show if the invisible timer is on it or not
is it possible to get back to that flower garden in ||ala mhigo before the shinryu fight||?
Yes, the royal attendant outside of the garden by the stairs leading to the palace takes you back there
thanks!
why cant i do this quest?
wait
i got it
my disciple of the hand job is lvl 13 rip
how do i change the stance of my combat chocobo
Go into companion menu, there's an action for it in actions traits, or in the game menu
Should be in character section I think

Does Bountiful Yield/Harvest not work on collectables?
ive heard square
should i change my class if i over lvl'd? im already 40 doing lvl 27 msq.
If you want
Doing msq and daily roulettes are enough xp for two classes at least
will i be able to use the same gear ?
or do i have to find lower lvl gear again for that other class?
Have to find gear all over again yeah
Depends on lvl, of course you can't wear a lv40 item on a lv20 class
I'm getting a blank screen on the "register card info" page. How can I proceed now?
#kupo-bot-spam
It’s faq retainer
i want to play next to my wife while she's watching a show on the tv, what recommendations can you give me to play next to her?
how does loot works in treasure chest
i cast for morpho first but someone else get it
i put need first
Then you just had a lower roll
oh is it random?
Of course it is
i always tought the person who click need first gets it
That’d be unfair, and everyone would hate it
There's a reason people put together minion grind parties 
that said, morpho seems to be marketboard-able
what would be a good server for a UK player looking for FC??
Any

What does this mean?
Blue means passive, the actual symbol isn’t that important
buying an expansion doesn't give free 30 days?
Nope. never has, never will
You can get the chocobo porters mask and outfit right?
is vitiated aether drop rate really low? ive been in eureka pagos killing quite alot but havent gotten any yet
Hello, what is worth farming as a bard? like diremite webs but more expensive xD
If you need mob drops, use your retainers
i want to farm them to sell in the market
the only vids/info i found are 3 years old lol
A) they’re not gonna buy non HQ stuff
B) mob drop rates can be abysmal
Use your retainers
Thanks, someone else has other opinions?
I've been farming diremite webs for 10 mins and sold 300 for a good profit but i think i can go higher, retrainers dont being as much in the same time
any other opinions on something else to farm? like i said, google is no bueno, all i find are 3 years old post, if someone can link me that would be cool too

Would you rather slight increases in cash, or convenience
cash i guess, i dont mind grinding or farming
but i prefer killing mobs than gathering
A friend of mine is Lv. 9 atm. Can I pull him somehow quickly to X level e.g. going to Lv. 70 mobs, let him poke the mob and I finish him
Unless they’re a BLU, no
BLU?
Blue Mage, a limited job that gets massively increased xp from overworld mob kills
Thanku for answers but not its a Glad
but can't do msq or do roulettes like a normal job
you'd still need to do MSQ to unlock potd
Is fishing trained in the diadem too or only botanist and miner?
A gladiator usually avoids potd cus they have good dungeon Qs
Also Potd is a lvl 17 unlock
Forgot to mention. He's at this 3rd Job already. Thats why MSQ is not an option xd
They can, but it's not efficient
Then they can just unlock Potd on the higher job
Fisher has ocean fishing
Ah okay
You can enter Potd at any lvl once it’s unlocked
If ocean fishing is queued what can I do while I wait?
the queue is really short
24 people every 2 hours
it says they're no longer recruiting
It goes at regular intervals
Then you missed it
There's more than an hour until the next one (on my DC at least)
It's sort of something you have to go out of your way to do imo, but it's really bloody quik levels
They all happen at the same time, regardless of DC. pretty sure
Yes, but since I can't do that now, what else can I do?
Ah kk, thank you!
How does Doman Enclave restoration work?
Extremely
Assuming level 90
Is this a mandatory blue quest? It seems very important
If you wanna do some endgame optimization, yes
How many hits we talking? Like two hits? Five?
actually, not very much, but if you wanna be tip-top then yes
would suggest doing it yes, since it unlocks materia melder npcs
easier to have it unlocked for when you get to end-game than come back to it
Sell them stuff each week, profit
does it take long?
It’s weekly, so yes it’ll take several weeks
but how many weeks to complete it
Yeah someone said 12 weeks if you max out each week
where is the repository node (image contains spoilers for last heavensward zone)
Have you went behind that cube thing
Also Do the msq
theres a deactivated terminal near some other cube thing thats close
I know, I’m telling em that the node probably needs msq progress
If I have 3 retainers, meaning two standard ones and the third with additional pay, and then I release the second one, will the third become free?
since i have two now
How about anywhere else around the pillar
because the msq icon is suspiciously close to your current position

im not even half way in and it says this is not in the free trial https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/947454017880076289/952248231188893756/unknown.png
it was that i needed msq progress ty
That’s not right, the trial goes up to lvl 60 content
as u can see i cant look for a grp in the duty finder to enter that dangeon
when did you make this account?
Unless you’re on the old trial somehow
well the game has some bugs
i relog and its working nolw
Heya guys. Question about crystarium deliveries. Can you accept the quest with a higher level class (BSM80) then turn the rewards with a lower level one? (GSM70)?
and also you can do all of the delivery facets right? not just one group?
sweet! Thanks ❤️ I'm trying to speed run my crafters and it burns through my pocket
ty
only heavy hand is physical ...dont think double impact is physical
but you're mostly invulning busters anyways outside of p3s
True
and near\farsight in part 2
how complicated is sage compared to scholar and whm
i heard sage has a ton of ogcd
That’s most healers ain’t it
seems like a pretty big advantage of whm
of aetherflow\addergall stacks
i think whm has 3 ogcd
tetra, assize. lilybell, bension, asylum, plenary somewhat
aquaveil
Should I discard/sell all the <IX materias I have ? Or should I keep some VII-VIII ? I didn't meld any EW gear yet.
aren't benision and aquaveil shields?
bension is a shield but thats still damage thats indirectly healed since they dont take the hp damage
aquaveil is mitigation
8s are still usable if you don't need to be tip-top, I think
8s are free stats
btw whats better pom or lightspeed
due to guaranteed retrieval
plus 9s and 10s have a chance to die when you try to retrieve them
Ok then, ty
lightspeed is for double weaving
pom is an actual dps increase, lightspeed isnt directly
card draw mayhem 
forced lightspeed for burst ayyy
well since recast seems to exceed or equal cast time i guess that would mean you don't really get more spells out
reducing recast means you get more spells out overall
lightspeed doesn't allow for more spells as it just reduces cast
it just allows for double weaving and doing stuff on the move
Lightspeed lets you do this shit
can you teleport people in your party to you or?
no
ast is way to busy for me
they can get free teleports to the aetheryte you're teleporting to
ohhhh I see
if they're in the same area already
see they are all the way in thanalan while im im gridania and they just started so like
so do i have to wait till
both progress enough?
then they need to do story until you meet up at 15 msq
more than anything it's the constant target switching that i'm bad at for astro
the card mech really fucks with me
yes many astro mains say it's way too busy for the amount you get out
how busy is sage
for ast it's a combination of target switching and keep track of what card goes to who
I already memorized which card goes to who
with healing i just need to pay attention to the hp bar and clear status when the bar changes color
I don't want to say something to the effect of "git gud" 
that's simple
if i put the effort in i'd be able to do the card stuff without excess thought process which slows me down
but in the time it'd take me to do that i'd be a huge deadweight to my team
It’s not that hard
I usually have the (main) tank set as a focus target and select via the party list
and then tab back to the enemy afterward
how does focus target work
Select a thing, press shift+F or something, then you can target them with a specific button
so keyboard and mouse only then
no
I dunno how it works for controller
you just press square to open the sub menu like normal when targeting someone
then set as focus target
you can have macros that use skills on your focus target
its abit slower but off globals are loosely fine
macros for stuff like dragon sight or cards are "fine" since you'll probably take the same time, unless you're really fast at doing it
also don't cards typically go to your dps
eeyup
The party list can be rearranged to have the dps on the top and bottom
I think 
yes you can re-arrange the party list, though you will always be first

Can I download the digital soundtrack of Endwalker after purchasing a physical copy of it on the square enix store?
slightly tilt the control stick
thanks
do i need to unlock the other expansions raid to unlock current ones
I was told I can but I wanted to ask before spending 60€ on the album plus shipping
kk even alliance ?
eeyup
the only thing you need to finish is crystal tower and thats required for MSQ
so you did it already if you arrive at later raid stories
o yay ty :3
havent heard anything in regards to coke and sap being in demand with 6.1
i've heard nothing of the sort
dunno where you got that from but it's probably bullshit
can you parry/block from behind?
Directions don’t matter when it comes to those
Where do you purchase the HW riding maps?
First off, don’t need em if you have flight
Okay. I'm aware. But I want them anyway.
at the forgotten knight, in ishgard
Ardolain
Which NPC? I don't see an option at the hunt board. Oh. Ty.
Oh. Centurio Seals don't carry to expansion locations. Rip
Centurio Seals are for HW and SB hunts. ShB and EW use sacks of nuts as their hunt currency.
anyone has experience how the rathalos mount drops?
it doesnt seem to have a chest on extreme just the tail and main body for scales to loot, if it drops is it in your bag kinda style or roll?
if the mount drops, it'll appear in a chest at the end
oh so there is a chest if it drops
It can drop but it’s pretty rare. Otherwise you can purchase it with 50 Scale+
interesting
does level 50 astro not get job gear or is there a second quest
DRK, MCH, and AST did not get exclusive level 50 gear. Just a couple left side pieces.
HW jobs get AF gear at 60 and beyond
so then i'll need to go get tomestones so i can level it to 60?
It does give you a generic 50 set
I mean you should’ve gotten em beforehand anyway, since job gear is worse than poetics
lol i sold some parts by mistake
Oof then yeah just get some poetics
Umm market board or vendor then for something quick maybe?
not even sure if i'll make it through the quest with my current gear
i think my daystar was shoved in my glamor chest
managed to get to 100 after digging through my dresser is that sufficent to level it to 60
don't you have leftover ironworks?
You'll want to upgrade a bit before then
If you don’t plan to do actual HW dungeons
Especially as a healer
only a few pieces i missplaced the top gloves hat nearing necklace and braceler
Yeah ideally you'll want to replace at least your weapon, chest, and pants by then
Okay but what’s the lowest item level gear on you
And make sure your accessories are healer ones
i still have the weapon and pants
Of ironworks?
Ok
Upgrade immediately
Yeah keep the accessories up
That’s dragging your average down super hard
Again upgrade
Then replace that bracelet and earring and you should be ok for a while
Doesn’t matter, upgrade em
is i109 sufficent for msq rouleete
Prae is i42
Emm, my Download speed is 0.00
help?
that'll get me enough to fix my accesories
since i had enough leftover tomestones to fix my bracelet
!faq quicklauncher
How much of a difference will the graphical update make?
Alright thanks
Is alphascape v1.0 easy unsynced with a level 90 class?

Hi,
I have a question about Playstation Trophies.
If you are looking at gaining the platinum in FFXIV does the PS4 trophies stack with the PS5 version. Or is it best just to begin on the PS5 version right off the hop?
Thanks
I belive some parts are soloable with war/pld, not sure which ones tho. If you're running for loot it'd be too much hassle imo, better grab a few people from fc/pf
@last kayak you know the best way to farm the frosted crystals? do i need to kill higher level enemies than me or what
lol nope, thats not anemos stuff so I'm ignorant on it lol
fr I'm like max level just off of anemos NM, and have several hundred useless pazuzu feathers
jesus
