not if they're current.
yee its just for glam
I thought it’s for endgear?
final stage relics are the bis weapons for their expansions when they're current.
When they do release for Endwalker, they will be a step or two behind the current best at all times until the very last update for the expansion.
Relic is 6.25
my current ilvl relic is 535 where can I grab the next quest or is it not out yet?
And I’m gonna grind out the whm and rpr ones
And like we said, there’s no EW relic yet
New relic weapon likely wont come until September at the earliest.
ok ty
do we know when 6.1 will be released?
Next week
I got Ktisis in leveling rou and some things I don't understand abt that dungeon:
- 2nd boss: how do u know which head is going to fire first
- 3rd boss: where do u stand that one time he fires four wind blasts horizontally and vertically at once does it not cover the whole arena
The heads will kinda glow in boss 2, and the way the squares are facing direct the wind
- the heads glow.
- there's a boulder to hide behind.
12th of April iirc
2 there is no boulder for the one they go off at once I think. But do u basically position urself so u don't go into the wall and treat that particular instance like it's just knockback?
whats good non Blue version of Mog tomb grind?
are you talking about the first time the boss does it? it only hits the outsides or certain areas. there is always a safe spot
Be the tank
There should be a safe spot. Mb I'm blind. orz
are command missions a good way to level ? also what is max level for it?
they’re fine, good if you’re new to healing/tanking and have anxiety (or if you don’t want to do deep dungeon for dps leveling i guess)
i think max level is 60? unsure
does anyone know if there's a way to find a fc?

Anyone know a fix for the "Failed to complete version check" problem? I recently just started getting this. Restarting my computer until I get in is the only way I've been able to log in
That's usually an internet issue. Using a VPN, or turning yours off if you have one, can sometimes fix it.
The alternate launcher might fix it, but I'm not sure. It might use the same servers to get the latest version.
where is the entrance for bozja again? ive unlocked it a while ago and havent really done it since
Ok thats interesting because I just hooked up a new router over the weekend
Does echo come in 6.1?
What unlock?
Can you have every job on one character and switch between them? if so how does quests work, if i have done some main quest on a thaumaturge and then switch over to lancer or something does it reset the main quest so i can level the lancer?
Savage unlock
Quests are 1 and done
Unlock - When you can farm savage for drops instead of being locked out on clear
but then how to level if i want another class
!faq altjobleveling
!faq altlvlguide
Easily
Follow this
Way faster than quests
Levelling is piss easy
I guess that's usually a month or so before the 4 new bosses?
6.2
Which job do u think is the easiest, best and most fun to level with
Subjective on all fronts
literally any you want
Given that the kits for all classes are super weird until about the late 50s/early 60s, it's gonna be awkward no matter which class you pick.
I would say Black Mage is arguably the weirdest.
We actually have an entire faq dedicated to how to play black mage as you level because it's so bizarre.
Thats what im playing xD
Like it legit makes no sense from section to section until you hit 60, and then you suddenly go "....oh holy crap this is so much better why was it so dumb before"
oh lol
But it's a fun class, it feels really nice at 60 and above.
Most classes are getting a shake up at lower levels on Tuesday
Melee aoes hopefully

what's a good thing to use aphorism on if you don't need the moonward gear?
when does the moogle event ends?
Buy and sell mats
6.1 launch
The moment maintenance starts for the next patch.
Thank you!
Although if you have left over tomes, the exchange will remain open for you to spend them.
which one should be doing daily, the hunting log or the challenge log?
Hunting is one time. Challenge is weekly.
Hunting log is a one time resource for each starting class. Challenge log resets weekly.
is there a way to reset the hunting log? I was a bard and might continue progressing my ARR as Samurai
No. Samurai doesn't have a class hunting log. You can continue doing your GC hunting log with it if you want.
sam doesn't have a hunting log.
Oohh I see. Thank you
The exp you get from it won't be worth much anyway since Samurai starts at level 50. You might still need to do the GC hunting log to rank up in your GC though.
the only daily you can do is the roulettes
basically the idea is to get resources and exp in return of helping other people do their duties
There's hw daily marks which are solid exp
Why is Thavnairian Onion so expensive
like i see hundreds of them on the market but very expensive
cause it sells
They're a pain to grow
if it wouldnt sell they would be less expensive
they take weeks to crossbreed and grow
"weeks"
they don't if you're smart about it.
but the main reason why is they're gated behind having a house
in JP it shouldn't be that expensive
they take 10 days to grow
from what I experienced onion in JP is so dam cheap like <100k
But they are only obtainable via gardening, except for two you get as quest rewards. So the market is 100% player dependent.
in NA, it's like 400k
so, yea even if you are smart about it, they're still time consuming to grow
true, but not the weeks as suggested, is all
if you follow something like this, for example, if you can't have 3 large plots it's a bit of a smoother growing process
If there's a major price discrepancy between different regions, it's likely due to the amount of people actually producing the onions.
Anyway, on Aether it seems to be hovering around 140-145k.
Ok thats a lot worse
it
isn't that high
Legit just checked all three NA servers down in #kupo-bot-spam, and the price range higher on Primal and Crystal than Aether, but it's still pretty tight around the 140k-155k range.
Not even remotely close to 400k.
really? o_o sorry for fake news
last time I was in Balmung was like in Jan, and I was shocked by the prices
the glamour treasure map items was also very expensive, like rebel boots, rider jacket etc
you would be incorrect.

it's sub 200k on crystal nowadays.
I never seen rebel boots reached like 1m 👀
I do remember 400k prices around that time, and it was likely because of the higher demand due to the recent expac drop
lots of new players, lots of people leveling their chocobo
like I tried to collect some people to do timeworn, we did 11 maps in total, not a single rebel boots, Laguna's shirt mts drop etc, was so unfortunate
I'm still facepalming to this day
RNG wasn't in our side 👀
So how do I get this item? Doesn't list it as event, relic or anything under Acquisition. Not even shop.
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Weathered_Evenstar_Hat
can't get the weathered version anymore, just the augmented which is from allied seals
yeah they look the same, but augmented version is usually the dyeable one
Ah ok, I wanted the augmented anyway but I checked the "lowest tier" cause I thought I had to go that route.
Cool then allied seals it is!
they basically went thru and removed all of the weathered/unaugmented versions of those items
to streamline/make it less tedious to get those so its just augmented verisons now for old stuff
endwalker related tomestone/hunt items tho still gotta go thru augmenting em
That's perfect, I forgot that part.
Hey guys, I read about the Duty Support system and was wondering if anyone happens to know if there's a different reward based on if you play with other players or us that system
Okee dokee, thx for the info.
If they’re designed like current level Trusts then they will also take a bit longer than a normal matched run.
Is something like this available but dye-able?https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Red_Moonfire_Happi
no
to get the kinna weapon do i need to turn in the padjali weapon w 6 aetherpool grips?
Yes you’ll need the weapon on you
What does it mean when someones job levels show as '-' even though you know they have all these jobs? (This is an FC member)
they don't have it
I mean they do, I've been playing with this guy for like 9 years now lol. They max jobs with me every xpac
likely haven't logged in for awhile and search info hasn't updated
yeah its been 2 days, which is why I thought to look at their search info..
info can be a bit weird if you don't log in for awhile
Maintenance resets that
and that
ohhh, that makes sense.
Since there was maintenance last night, it counts them as having not logged in for a long time

Turns out if you put your job stones on a retainer you can pretend like you haven't unlocked their jobs yet.

I guess its important for RP'ers to be able to "hide their power level"
Or people who want to clown.
what kind of equipment can i use to increase fishing catch rate?
Gear with Gathering stat
maybe you can try storing your job stone into your retainer
example
I'm a bit late to the Retainers but- with giving them jobs, what jobs are the best? DoL or DoW/M?
the one that you play the most
so you can just throw your old gear to your retainer
Depends on the material you need
What if I'm just trying to get gil? haha don't really care what i get
if you don't pay for more than 2 retainers then you pick either combat +gathering or dual gathering
minus fishing
idc what anyone says, fishing retainer sucks
Do note that you’ll need to actually level your gathering classes to make your retainer a gatherer as well
as far as which gathering, whichever one gives you mats you plan to use more
it's either botanist or miner
So if you have no intention of doing so, just do any two combat classes
well see, that's a double edged suggestion
if you aren't gonna level gathers or crafters period then what use are your combat retainers other than just quick explo bots
so you may as well start considering getting a gatherer up
save yourself the time of respeccing retainers later
I usually just tell people to get 1 dow/dom and 1 gathere
but myself I use 2 dow/dom cause I'm lazy to hunt things lol
I thought fisher is nice?
feels like 90% of the fish they gather are crap
I'm one of the laziest DoH/DoL people I've ever met, and I still managed to get them all to 90 just by buying all my GC turnins on the market
and then inevitably someone says "but they can gather some rare minions"
yea ok but they can't do anything else, and you may as well just buy the minion off marketboard if you care so much
I've got all my gatherers are 90.
I completely lost faith in my fisher retainer last tier when I needed blue crab to make chili crab and Fisher retainer couldn't gather blue crab
So one of each is what i'm hearing
the new one in OCE
Oceania DC came out like a month ago
oh, good for them. OCE always seems pretty neglected in all the games I've played.
🤔 should tbn be paired with other mitgation or alone is better🤔
pair it most of the time
what are the best ways to level a job from 50-90
!faq altlvlguide
!faq altlvlguide
depends a bit on the content you're doing
if you're doing causal stuff then sometimes pairing TBN with other mits means your TBN doesn't break
Ok
When does the update come out ?
12th of june
April*
are there any japanese worlds with a significantly larger english speaking community?
than other japanese worlds
Tonberry/Kujata
thanks!
How do you get the wall lean emote? I heard you can also just buy it?
Ishgard restoration
Is the days of Azure quest in heavensward?
Yes
You can't start the job quests for a given expansion before actually progressing the story up to that point
does the egi glamour work now?
Okay cool, thanks
It always worked
not sure what you mean
I might be very sorely mistaken, but are there pre requisite quests that will lead to the EW beast tribes available to do right now? I swear I read about them on reddit or something.
Just can't find the info now.
They are, but we have no definitive info on what quests are required
just do all the blues. got it, lol
@glossy flare i thought it was for the egis them selves
well, it may involve some 
😬
the moogle tribe for example requires specific 
only way to be absolutely sure would be to do every
in Thavnair I suppose 😄

It's for carby
at least it is now
I'm trying to compile a list of every item that can be purchased with White Crafter Scrips. The vendor in Limsa, Ul'dah, and Gridania are all the same exact inventory. Is the other vendors the same? Is it just any Scrip Exchange has the same list of stuff for purchase?
yes, they are all the same
They're all uniform now, I believe
So I can just use one of the ones in the two new cities, and compile the list. I'm trying to figure out how many White Scrips I need to farm to buy literally everything so I know how many collectables to craft.
watch the actual quest start in sharlayan or some shit
if I had to guess some of the questlines the aether current
s kick off will be required
but that's pure speculation so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
hello guys!!
im doing carnivale and i have only 2 stage lefts
and for them i need some physical damage and i only have triple trident and 1000 spikes ._.
any other one i could use?
That one move from faust
@glossy flare ah thats good, given whats happened with summoner i didnt know if it was still a thing
if you want physical, you'll need to use sharpened knife for your spammable gcd
sharpened knife does more dps marginally but abyssal transfixion is castable at long range
abyssal transfixion is spammable too
ya
and yea the benefit is it's ranged
hmm can't weave with Abyssal Transfixion
so it's not really spammable
what i mean spammable is low cast time and normal gcd recast time like sonic boom / sharpened knife
but you can weave with it
so I am new to the game, and have recently reached level 19 as lancer
should I reach level 20 and do my weapon mission before I do this envoy mission that requires air travel?
both are important
Msq and job quests are done side by side
so you can do any of the two
I see
Msq is top priority, job quests are close by cause they give you skills
I guess I should probably do my job quest so I can focus on my msq longer before having to return to gridania, no?
unless I can do it at the place I am going?
You can teleport
You can always teleport
You have been attuning haven’t you?
yeah
Rule 1: attune to aetherytes immediately when travelling to new zones
I have tbe aether thingy at gridania and in the woods south of it as well
yeah do either, heh
but what is the best way of earning the money needed to teleport then? monster drops seem to only sell for 1 gil
The msq
Do the story
You literally don't need to buy stuff
oh okay then
Money becomes a non issue like immediately
You only spend money on teleport when doing story
you should be receiving many allagan silver/piece with gold bag icon
that you can sell for gils
just roulette leveling once a day I guess
how do I do that?
type /dutyfinder
U key bind
apologies for all the questions btw
you don't get Sastasha until after the Envoy
sastasha?
oh right, I thought you reached lv 20 MSQ already.. misread
Your first dungeon, Look forward to it
so it's your job level that's lv 20?
ah sorry yes...
Pretty face roll outside of like hades and sos
The three weapons and Memoria
Face roll
I need to do those four at least once
Weapons were snoozefest on launch
I never pentamelded before, what's the pattern of pentamelding (just wanted to try)
2x X, rest are IX?
hope it works
I see people are using 3x X and rest are IX
3 10s 2 9s
ok ty ty
does anyone know when new players can access the faerie server? :<
Or know how long it usually takes
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Ty!
you'll need to online really early in the morning NA time
Okii tysm !! ^^
!item Pink Cherry Blossoms
how do I get this?
There's no info on https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/53903dcb8b9/
oh ty ty, I thought It's the vase item
Can I mend or socket a gem to this gear?
If the condition is 100% there's nothing to mend
If there's no slots, there's no melding
wait so mend and melding are different
mend is just repair
You have no reason to meld poetics gear anyway
Mend means to repair
ah man i still have TON of research to do 😩
meld is putting materia in
ooh lol well that simplifies it phew
Also, don't worry about melding materia until you're max level. You'll get very little worth out of it for the rate at which you'll outpace it, and continually re-melding to new gear is generally a waste of resources.
Like, if you really want to meld, then sure, but it won't be valuable to you.
so there are seeds that can only be used on pots, but not garden?
!item shroud cherry sapling
Thank you!
※For use in planters.
meaning exclusive to pots yeah?
I'm wondering why I can't use this seed on my garden..
Because it’s not a seed, it’s a sapling
whats the most valuable crafter materia to stockpile to sell?
Part of what makes melding useless/bad below level cap is that whenever you get synced to a lower level, all melds on your gear are ignored.
Xs and IXs
I’m mainly noticing grade 7, 9, and 10 as the ones worth buying with scrips
sorry i meant type; cp control or craft
Varies a lot, like for my server CP7 is worth a good amount, while Craftsmanship 10 is good too
I recommended favoriting all the crafting materials at and above grade 7 to easily compare prices
ok ill check my servers board, thanks
how often should I fertilise it?
3 across 24 hours so every 8 hours?
I did the red pomace but It says It can't receive more fertiliser
however It says It also needs blue + mountain ._.
I don't want it to be red flower
am I using the wrong soil? I just use potting soil
for a 24 hour plant you're fine (will reduce a couple hours if i remember gardening system correctly)
since are making a non consumable the soil doesn't matter
I don’t think soil type matters for flowers
yeah, that's what I thought as well
But I’ve never done any flower gardening, just the regular gardens
same
When doing rotation in raids do u burst all ur ogcd and big boi damage buttons during the raid buffs and just normal combo until then?🤔
how come It says It requires 3 fertilisers, but I can't use more than 1
I want to say try 4 hours for fertilizer but this is not something I have experience in
usually everyone starts with 3rd GCD
after that, you use your burst rotation everytime it's available
(what I'm used to is fertilizer reducing the growth time, not adding an effect to the end result that isn't from cross breeding)
right...
Kinda random question but SE will remove loot restriction for savage stuff on 6.1?
Or that's just for normal
yeah
that's what I've heard, I think
oh i see, thx
Pomace just changes colors and doesn't accelerate growth. Some plants don't receive any benefits from fertilizer. I think cherry trees can only be a primary color or the default white? I haven't fiddled with flowers much, but if it says it can't take more pomace after one dose then it means only primary colors
There's no known value for just how much fertilizer affects growth. I never bother with it because the differences are minimal
yeah, I just fertilise it the next hour
I mean pomace sorry
I keep writing fertiliser 🤦♂️
No worries. Yeah pomace is once per hour
Flowers typically have all three primary colors, all possible combinations of two primary colors, and then typically white, black, rainbow, or something else special for all three (randomly chosen)
Is MCH getting a buff in 6.08?
Or anytime soon?
Feeling kinda lackluster for a selfish DPS job
MCH is getting a number of buffs next week, yes.
Thank God
are catboys or bunny boys more popular rn?
Amen
i might be wrong but did my 15 4.0 craters go poof when I switched from maelstrom to flames?
Shouldn't
ok nvm it's still there I freaked out cuz it wasn't marked red on the inventory
dingus, happens sometimes
I see a pretty even split in Limsa usually
All the hype of bnuuy boy died out
I love bunny boy models but im not a big fan of the faces lol
Is there any bunny skin tone that's similar to this?
Because my bunny boy rn is pale asf
You can just like compare the screenshots
I'm almost positive they're the exact same as female faces with very minor alterations, mostly to proportion
There's one bunboi face I'd swear straight up is one of the female faces
which one would you say is the most "male" out of them
what's the benefit of using the FFXIV app for smartphones?
why is my squadron not ready for this?
You need at least two stats to be blue to initiate flagged missions
oh ok
im like 1 stat off each lmao
for flagged, you need all 3
or you'll fail 100%
so if your stats isn't enough, you'll have to level up your squadron first before attempting
You should only need like a lvl each to pass that
I think it's 1/3 with two stats
No, it is not
oh ok, i guess ill get everyone to like lvl 45
flagged mission require all three stats to be met, it will always fail if you do not. if its non flagged, you only need 2/3 though can still fail
It's easy to level. Do squadron missions and send the rest to training or do command missions with em

ah ok
and you get 1 free destination teleport?
Fashion Report is only available from Sat -> Weekly reset time
ah ok I see
so wait for Sat till you do yours, and yeah just type !fr on #kupo-bot-spam on Sat

Whats minimum DPS required to clear P3S party wide?
10k difference between first and last 😕
that's how savages are
Yeah. I just hate how dang easy the first floors are. That's why we have extremes...

Is there a place that tells me drop chances for minions? Got a couple I've been farming for and still lack, months later
No cause drop rates don't exist for anything
Hmmm, sorry to interrupt 'ere but is it possible to mod the benchmark? Asking because well...
I have a beyond shitty laptop that can't even access the free trial and can barely run the benchmark at a 0-15ish framerate so I don't really have much to do other than create characters n' all (and got like a score of 400 to put into perspective on how bad my laptop is)
Do i get exp from trusts if I use scenario mode?
Thanks kael
one just lets you level them for the achievements
lv 90 trust will be much stronger than the lv 71 one if I use it to run holmister?
ah ok so it's solely for achievement
I've tried tbh, whether I afk pulls or I use WAR and unga bunga wall to wall
Its still like 30mins +/- 3mins or so
they're intentional designed that way, so even if you can get under
you're only shaving a few minutes off
its never going to be on par with player ran dungeons, time wise
yeah make sense ._.
but even at non-peak time, queueing is really easy unless you are playing in new DC like materia

best farm for irregular tomestones and how long do I have?
aurum vale or frontlines, and until the 11th
no 72 people pvp
So, for reaper, soulsow/harvest moon is just a opener/downtime skill, right?
It's disengagement but yes
Channel before pull and whenever you can't hit the boss for 5s
>Harpe should be used prepull in the opener and when you are forced out of melee range for at least one GCD, provided it is not possible to keep your melee GCDs rolling. Harvest Moon should always be used for this instead, if it is available. Otherwise, Harvest Moon should be used for AoE, if applicable, or used in place of a weaker GCD for an overall potency gain. Harvest Moon uses will very much be a fight-specific optimization and there is no "this is always the best way to use it."```
Oooh, thanks!
Don't do frontlines if you've found PvP to not be your cup of tea. People sandbagging games because they just want XP/tomes makes it miserable for everyone else
But I think they're pretty fun!
does anyone happen to know where this is?
ive been looking around for couple hours (adding in breaks) on the map but i just cant seem to find it 
Marked with a flag, here.
thank you
Is there a way to check the characters associated with my Square Enix account? I haven't played in a while and for some reason my steam is no longer linked to the account, and now I don't know if I'm linking the correct account
login to this website
I had a free trial still when I last played so I can't use that it looks like
Oh wait nevermind, I found the part where I can see characters
Didn't realize I had to click my name in the top right
Thank you
Just started Bozja. Any specific fragments that give offensive skills?
You mostly get support/defensive/CC skills for the first few ranks
Okay
but yeah if you are lower level and still learning, just get awakening and skills from marketboard if you want..
both will give both defensive and offensive essence for all classes
if you're caster, I'd recommend getting the 1 that gives flare star
for essence, you're usually better just running beast essence as DPS
beast is only for rank 15+ afaik
at lower level, you can use platebearer I reckon.. as a DPS
skills/awakening give this
I thought you had to CLL at 10
yeah, 45 mins cutscenes and also DR
what can i buy with my company seals that I can resell on the marketplace?
Glamour prisms are always in good demand if you don’t want to keep track of various items/materials
Cordials too
Materials sell best. Coke, glass fibers, hardened sap, schelite, etc
Oh you're gonna need to rank up
You need to be a captain to buy everything
@drowsy nova i can buy coke for now
It's usually a couple hundred per on zalera and sells reliably
if I summoned my chocobo as a companion, is there a way to withdraw it without resetting the timer?
the only material taht requires capt is the xelphatol spring water
Intermediate items/precrafts are even more valuable if you can craft them. Glass fibers go for like 6k on my server, but the tempered glass you make with em can easily sell for 15k+
Open the companion menu and click Withdraw
Oh. Yiu mean without losing the time? No
well
Awweee alright
Being mounted and being in a city will pause the timer
Is there any limit on how many collectables you can exchange? Like with custom deliveries
Nope
nope
Thanks!
Limited only by your will to live
you can exchange as many as you're willing to gather, provided they meet min collectability or higher
Aye. Unfortunately, talking to NPCs demounts your toon and the timer ticks again 😩
with custom deliveries is 12 a week, 6 per NPC
Why min collectability?
to earn minimum reward
cos if it doesn't meet min collectability, you can't turn it in
if you don't reach the min collectability, you won't be able to turn it in
Oh that one, got it, thought you meant only the min category is repeatable
that's my bad, worded it a bit poorly
Thanks again!
glam dressers in houses used to be a thing right? are they ever gonna add that back
No lol

well, are they ever gonna make that a feature?
Barracks is close to the aetheryte
No kek
They could add a small entrance to the island sanctuary house with a dresser
But never as a housing item
Sorry dinner pulled me away until now. What do you mean drop rates don't exist? That makes no sense, that would mean nothing would ever drop.
What they mean is that all drop rates are held server-side, so there's no way to know them.
There's no known drop rates of anything
Best we can do is guess
Any percentages cited are all anecdotal
And there's no site that measures them?
It's impossible to
It's not impossible, but it is excessively arduous.
You can flip a coin 100 times and get tails 80%
We could run a duty 300 times
And measure it
But still
Doesn't mean it's 80%

That's typically understood when those things are checked. There's multiple sites for WoW that measures this kind of thing so I assumed the same was done here.
In order to have any sort of useful sample size, you need many thousands of runs of the duties where an item drops per item, and the data collection process for that in an MMO is .... not conducive to a good sample size.
Alrighty then, guess I'm just gonna keep blindly bashing my head against some walls until minions drop then.
Thank you all for the answers
So im still somewhat new, but Ive seen these yellow glowing weapons all over the place and im just cuirious on how to get them. Ive heard that they require savage content, but like, what kind of savage content?
that would be from Bahamut Ultimate
Ultimates
Ohhh okay
Oh god alright. How does one go unlocking ultimate content?
Clear the last fight of the respective tier it was released in
O4s, o8s and e4s for ucob, uwu and tea respectively
You need p4s for the coming ultimate
Oh jesus
They're not for faint hearted
You will die and wipe within like 15 seconds
Twister memes, dolls, Garuda shit
Yeah it can take groups months of progression to clear
Just press your buttons and you'll be fine
For 16mins straight no mistakes
Garuda is easy. Titan is the irritating part of uwu
They're a consecutive sequence of boss-tier fights with no checkpoints, and with the hardest mechanics the game had to offer at the time.
And yet people still fuck up
Nael can eat my ass
Where do you even start when trying to get to that content?
Clearing the current savage tier
max level
Either by watching guides from people who have already cleared it and mapped it out, or by letting it murder you over and over until you figure out the mechanic and how to pass it, then letting the next one murder you over and over, then the next, ect.
That’s a good way to build up your skillset and understanding of the game
you start with extremes to ease into more coordinated / complex mechanics, then gradually get to savage
each fight in a savage tier is a good conditioning course for the next
the third fight is a huge spike often
is ex3 coming out in 6.1 or in a 6.1x patch
6.1
So the 12th
There’s a reason why a lot of players show off ulti weapons, they’re arguably the biggest and most recognizable flexs in the game
It's not even half the pain of an ARR relic
There also may or may not be people who sell Ultimate clears.
I strive to get one. I just finished off Endwalker not too long ago, I just feel overwhelmed asf on where to go now
So just because you see a Legend title and a super spiffy clockwork-light weapon doesn't necessarily mean the person is actually skilled.
Raiding in xiv is easy, honestly. They don't tune it where you gotta be top tier to clear, not even ultimates
It just takes dedication
For one, there's not much outside-of-raid prep
You need to be good mechanically
Ultimates require a lot of time and patience and willingness to constantly repeat the same 2 then 4 then 8 then 15 minutes over and over
and not viewing dying as you being a failure at life, but as a learning experience
vis-a-vis
Mechanics are easy. It comes with repetition. Only annoying stuff like gaols you can't exactly memorize
"oh so this wasn't correct"
Id love to put in the work. So to start working towards ultimate content, I should start off with extreme trials? and then work toward savage content?
You.say that and wipe to shit like wormhole or whatever for hours despite clearing it
but yeah
But there was some post on the sub a thousand years ago how some dude did the couch to 5k equivalent and taught 7 dewey eyed noobs UWU in I think 3 cumulative months
The progression of skill probably goes EX -> savage -> ultimate
They had never done ex or savage
So even ultimates aren't "only for hardcore"
It's just you'll probably take longer to prog
The nice thing about xiv having some of the worst servers in the history of online games is it forces them to not make mechanics reliant on reaction speed lol
Hatch 
Shh 
You will need to learn both how the game plays and how your class plays. Shark is right in that you don't need to be the hardest-core of hardcore players to clear it ... but you also won't clear it with a 20% GCD uptime and a bunch of deaths.
Like most higher-end content in the game, it's mostly about maintaining constant damage output while doing a fairly intricate dance routine.
The puzzle you'll need to solve is what the steps of the dance are.
And you will die and start from the top each time you get them wrong lol
So im curious with raiding in this game. Im not sure if anyone here has played destiny or destiny 2, but im going to compare the raids to destiny. I was a harcore raider in the destiny games and when finding groups to join, they were usually laidback with people who hadnt dont the raids yet and were okay with explaining the mechanics out. Is it the same with FFXIV? Or will groups be expecting you to know what to do. As a new player it is really overwhelming when seeing the amount of raids and the difficulty levels
That's what learning groups are for
Depends on if you're pugging (Party Finder) or if you're in a static, and how intense the static is.
And when guides are kinda expected for you to start watching
there aren't that many raids
But the short answer is yes.
See guide for fight > do Learning groups > eventually clear
Oh alright, and when looking for a learning group, are they normally posted in the party finder?
Yes
Gotcha
That's where everything is
Thanks for all the help
for normal or (hard) fights, you can just queue for it
Like, if you jump into a PF with the listing "Weekly reclear", you may get kicked if you say you've never cleared the fight before, or if it becomes obvious you don't know what you're doing.
The PF listing will generally say what it expects.
Yeahh thats my concern. Ill just have to watch guides. Are all raids popular to see parties for? Or are there a specific few that are being run more often rn?
where are you in story
Im finished it
Current-tier tends to be the current most-run.
just do panda normals then for now
A lot of older Savage/Extreme content can either be soloed unsynced or unsynced with a small group, so you typically won't see a lot of parties looking to clear, say, Alexander Savage.
You might see mount farming parties for them, though.
Okay good to know. So the current tier would be the lvl 70/80 savage raids?
90
90\
Lol no
Pandaemonium
For pld, does str tinctures affect the damage of your holy spirit combo up to the blades
Just for curiosities sake
Found my answer
is there any way I can see how much crafting something will cost in total
instead of looking up the mats individually
have no idea, cause the market for each DC are different lol
but if you gather and craft the mats yourself, probably cost 0 gil
Teamcraft
April 12 is 6.1 release?
Yes
another question
where can I find a source that'll explain crafting to me like I'm 5
is there a gearscore/itempoints requirement for these trials?
Im level 58 with 113 item score or uuh yeah
select the duty and scroll down the description
and for those, you can ask someone to finish them for you unrestricted
no need to queue it with DF, cause it's ex difficulty
not recommended to run it blind
I saw a youtube guide about Extreme trials. Suggested to not use duty finder but party finder instead. A bit anxious i will get kicked for having a low item points
or being a sprout
sprout doesn't really mean anything, on the contrary they'll give you a lenient treatment
Since those are all old, outdated content, it's very easy for people at max level to run them unsynced, so you likely won't see a lot of PF options for those ones in particular anyway, outside of ARR mount farming parties.
if you are considered as a beginner
and if it's unrestricted a bunch of lv90s can come in and bowl the boss over

i mean you should be in ironworks
how many tiers (or whatever they're called) after release do weekly raid drop limits get lifted?
so right before the next one comes
then the final tier restriction goes away at......6.58
i wonder if i can solo eden normal
no
probably not considering party gets split for some fights
Is it dumb to buy a skip for an alt job you plan to play and know (like level 60 abilities/style)?
it's your money
You aren’t wrong
not really, it's not that uncommon
I mean how well do you know it?
I’m just wondering because I want to as I hate grinding it, but don’t know if I should just suck it up
I'd skip if i had to start on a new server.
but yeah, you'll have to learn fast track, with multiple skills at your disposal instead of learning it slowly
Well it’s BLM and for the most part I understand it. Also if I skip I plan on atleast testing everything out to get a feel first before making people suffer.
I'd skip the ARR/HW Jobs but not the others, i think.
Alright
I just wanted a second opinion from people who most likely have more brain cells than me and have played this game longer
Thanks you though
Hello I am a new player, Just downloading the game for the first time. Are there any google docs or youtube guides for optimal gameplay? I would like to get to endgame as quickly as possible
Hmmmm
take your time
I dont like playing casually, Sorry.
Gotta go fast = Job Quest (when it appears) > MSQ all the way.
Then switch jobs every time you outlevel the MSQ even by one level.
even with a story skip, you're still forced to do msq
Oh you mean like class rotations and gearing and such.
For that you should hang out in the Balance Discord.
Those guys try to squeeze out every last .1% of every job.
Basically complete the main storyline ( if I understood what msq is properly ) as quickly as possible, I am assuming content is locked behind it rather than it being optional?
everything is locked behind msq
yeah everything is locked behind the story
It's both
Some is optional, but optional is also locked behind story.
Alright thanks guys, Any resources to read up on while doing these to learn later parts of the game?
like I said your rotations
Thanks a lot and I appreciate all the quick responses 
you should have a good grasp of your job by the end
Also, highly recommend MSQ as DPS and if you hit a dungeon, go Tank/Heal. (if you want to level a tank/heal)
Are tank / heal most seeked classes for raids?
does this drop from the raid or do I have to trade for it?
they are about the same
the alexander raids I mean
there are 2 tanks, 2 healers and 4 DPS per group, but there are more DPS players
You will level pretty frigging fast in your first.... uh... 3 months? If you pick a prefferred (not crowded) server.
the dyeable version drops from savage so just do that
so yeah, pick the role you like
the most sought after are the players who are good on the job they play
oh ok
wait wait wait can I solo that or do I have to do it with a party?
!faq metameme
I reckon for Midan it's easy
A4S right?
you can solo it as lv 90 prob, if you can't, then just ask for a help to do it
Thats one of the reasons I actually decided to start playing this game, All the other MMORPG so far I played were impossible to run unless you were with your guild / on a healer
Glad to hear that
wait Veilen are you reffering to me?
yeah, Midan armor the one that you seek
a8s
Yeah this is not WoW where DPS among DPS classes have like +-50% variance
Alexander - The Burden of the Son (Savage)
oh Midan is A8S ._.
well I assume after I do all three I can unlock savage right?
alright
also a4s can't solo'd unless you're like blu, but even then not sure on that
you'll need to clear A8N afaik
they're seperate unlocks for each tier

to unlock A8S
You can unlock the savage for a set after you clear each set. So clearing a4n will let you unlock the savage for those floors.
need to clear the whole thing, no?
Then a8n for the next set
so is it going to be hard to do all that?
assuming it works like in SHB/EW
not particularly
oh thank god.
for normal stuff, just queue in DF if you don't want to solo it
normal mode of alex is in normal mode roulette
Normals you can just queue for.
no, you just need to do the story
so relatively easy to complete
wait I thought I needed to do savage to get the dyable one?
normals must be finished before savage can be unlocked
You need to do the normals to unlock the savages.
Can't you unsync with a group for Savage?
you need to clear A8N first to unlock the savage version
sure
what does A8N mean?
.
yeah, people farm light with just 2 people at A9S, cleared it under 2 min per run
but without the savage
Generally the raids are referred to as "overall content" "stage" "normal/savage"
a = alexander, the raid series
8 = 8th fight in the series (The Burden of the Son)
n = normal (not savage)
ohhhhhh
First letter is the Raid name, Second number is the... fight sequence... and last is Normal/Savage
BJ is very easy to pound through these days
phrasing
heh.

Is this a me or a final fantasy problem. I’m on PS4 and playing the game I always end up lagging but when I check my connection it’s good. It just now started today. Everything keeps getting frozen or it’s where I hit then but I do no damage and it’s only happening in final fantasy. Is there something I can do to help fix this
where are you
Maybe ISP routing? 
I have no idea what that is
Your internet service provider maybe took a hit today for nodes that direct you ti xiv server
For example my ISP fucked up last month to the point i have 400 ping as base ping, need to use vpn to lower it to normal. Maybe the usual route to JP (my dc) is fucjed and they use different path thats far from JP
Somehow it fixed last week.
How do you advance to Pagos in Eureka? I'm lvl 21 and it keeps syncing me down to lvl 20. I dont' know what else to do.
do the quests
do you have a +2 weapon
progress through the yellow quest in there
I can't come up with a character name to save my life
what race
Duskwight Elezen
So I should try getting a vpn?
https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/elezen-names.php @regal sluice
Elezen name generator, Final Fantasy. 10,000's of names are available, you're bound to find one you like.
No is this required?
no, but while you are at it. You might as well progress through it
ok thanks
How are the OCE servers queue/population wise? Thinking about moving over, don't mind being tank/healer but just don't want 30min queues lol, and if anyone knows which is the most popular?
DF are DC wide
so it doesn't matter which server you pick
Ravana and Sophia seems the most popular one
How do you get the relic weapons? Are these the same as the +2 weapons in Eureka?
the only thing that locked behind server are marriage and FC
and marketboard
so if these 2 things doesn't really matter much to you, pick any server you like the name
I don't have any yellow quests in my journal
not in your journal. take a screenshot of your map
do you have a full magia board?
you use your lv 70 artifact weapon, then just keep putting anemos crystals in it till you get the anemos weapon
your lv 70 artifact weapon only cost 1k gil from calamity salvager
hmm you can try talking to Kryle and see what's her dialogue
I haven't completed the magia board. I dont' know how to get more
cause Eureka quest doesn't appear in your journal
how many do you have
so you need to read what Krile said and follow what She said
then go there
I die to the lvl 23 monsters
adjust your board
https://ffxiv-eureka.com/ use this and click the anemos map
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
whats the setup for squadrons, I'm only interested in doing the quest that lets me rank up in my gc
North West is lv 3(?)
How?
there isn't one, as long as you can complete it then use whatever
left/right click rotates it
I get that, but I only have one crystal in the slot
I'm guessing you are still at lv 3 quest
the area with that magicite has like lvl 6 mobs
since Krile said north west and the only quest at NW area is lv 3
have you opened the map yet? go to no 3
ok I'll check it out. Thanks for the help.
if you see a sparkling item, get it and go back to her
I'm currently right here
she specifically mentioned the observatory
then go to no 3 area on north west
well yeah, but I'm not sure if I will be able to beat it with the team that I have now and I don't wanna spend time doing dungeons with them if they aren't going to be able to take it on
blue circled no 3
since I haven't even unlocked the mission
it's a grind and you can have 8 members, you'll make it work eventually
ok, then after you done that, take the next quest, read what She said, then look at the map again, then repeat till the last quest
Yeah she said northeast
the story will indicate that you finished with the zone, then you can go to Pagos
Am I working towards the relic weapons in stormblood by doing eureka?
yeah its the relic area

would recommend doing it since you can use all the resources you get from doing FATE/killing mobs
So, when I'm leveling up my weapons to 2+ that's the ones that turn into the shiny ones?
in one of the step of the relic weapon, if you don't have the weapon, you won't be able to progress through
yeah
afaik it's 1 - 2 - anemos
anemos is the first shiny one
the person who can upgrade your weapon is the same person who upgraded your weapon from antiquated -> +1
he will ask more resources, you usually have enough at the end of the last quest + few fates probably
Is there any point to doing side quests?
!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.
!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.
only lore
if you want, you can do it like me, just focus on no 1 and 2 ^
then pick any blue quests you see
Alright I will do that then, Thank you 
Missle, ultravibration, white wind, that big ram's voice thing that freezes everything
Those are basically the 4 all my groups had
Gotta ask, since I like to prepare things in advance and am trying to decide my main class before I start playing: are bards good?
If you can use the final sting combo, moon flute with whistle, you can final sting the boss to death at around 60% or 50%
all jobs are good
and you can be all jobs on 1 character
so it literally doesnt matter
is there a roulette for savage raids?
no
wait are savage raids 8 players only?
yes
all raids are
ok so say I'm level 90 and drag someone with me who is also level 90 to two man a level 60 raid, is that possible?
unsynced or synced?
Okey, thank you for answering my question.
you can do that unsynced
you can solo 95% of level 60 raids at level 90
synced will just make you both 60
i mean unsynced
then yes
might even be 100% with better gear
ok so let's say I wanna do fist of the son solo, is that possible?
normal or savage?
all alexander normal is soloable
savage
remember mechanics exist
theres some savage alex raids that cant be soloed but i dunno what they are
hmmm
4 and 12
12 can be solo'd
what's 12?
12th floor?
going from the first one to the last, theres 3 tiers of 4 making 12
we get raids in batches of 4
i still don't understand 😦
soon after an expansion drops we get a "tier" of raids
which is 4 floors
then in the next even patch we get another 4
12 raids
oh wait so those are just different parts of the raid?
those are 12 bosses, but the duty finder uses the PLACES you fight them in to name them rather than boss names to avoid spoilers
alex is weird cause it has trash mobs but beyond HW there are no trash mobs
each floor is 1 boss
for example, to queue for Ifrit, you don't queue for "Ifrit", you queue for "The Bowl of Embers", which is the place you fight him in
if youre in endwalker then youll notice we only have 4 floors of pandaemonium
we will be getting the next 4 floors in 6.2
then the next next floors in 6.4
thats how the patch cycle goes
ok I just tried the first one and I think I get what you mean now
sooo kind of like mini raids? but more like trials?
are the qitari tribes the only one where the choices matter for the tribe "settlement"
oh the wiki said the choices affect hwo the settlement looks
which is...different from every other tribe
well that doesn't really matter in any way though
It's just the Stola that changes
raids are literally just trials but with a different name
you basically choose if you're a miserable bastard or a happy-go-lucky dude
ah.
and their endgame modes are harder
probably
well when I cross that bridge I'll find out
