[umbral dune]

Its alternate timeline so it can be any where

[slate arrow]

That's a new arena in sohr kai, it doesn't exist anywhere else in game

[warped nest]

Not the ||dragon king Thordan, just the Thordan who have tempered dragons||

Is that the lvl 53 dungeon?

[slate arrow]

No, it's approximately the area right outside the aetheryte

[umbral dune]

Post HW

[slate arrow]

wait not sohr kai

the other aetheryte that's not moghome

[twilit arch]

churning mist

in zenith

[warped nest]

Isn't that the ||final phase?||

[slate arrow]

This is where I'm talking about

[warped nest]

Oh!

I didn't think that is it

Huh

[umbral dune]

Uh, was not that anyx trine in western coerthas?

[warped nest]

I remembered it being way more beat up

[twilit arch]

no

its in churning mists

2 phases are there

[slate arrow]

gdi

All the PoVs are looking at the ground

Nobody looks up

[warped nest]

Lol

[twilit arch]

the 2nd thordan phase is in the place that you fight darkscale

for the fate

and then you have the golden sohr khai/zenith

[warped nest]

Very cool, thanks for answering my question

[ancient perch]

is ninja more meta? or pugilist?

[warped nest]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[slate arrow]

Dragalia.... while there are differences in DPS, it's literally optimization levels of differences. Assuming all 8 people aren't sleeping at their input method you will meet the DPS check and clear

[regal pawn]

Yes

[slate arrow]

In this case literally Ninja is meta, nobody brings Puglist because classes have been outdated since Heavensward

Monk however is just as good as the others

[ancient perch]

put it this way instead

[regal pawn]

Any

Cause I already know what you gonna ask
People don't care what you play if you can play it good

[ancient perch]

which class will give me the most rewarding experience for taking tiem to learn it :P

[regal pawn]

Subjective af tbh

[narrow jay]

All

[slate arrow]

Yes.

[ancient perch]

okay

[regal pawn]

Cause what's "rewarding" in your case?

[ancient perch]

most efficient i guess

[regal pawn]

Smooth feel? Definitely Black Mage cause smooth BLM movement is

[slate arrow]

As someone who leveled all jobs, they all have their fun parts

[true jolt]

OOTL, what the heck is happening on most of community discord? Iirc yoshi make notice about 3rd party is breaking ToS so yada yada yada and dont use it every year or two so its "normal"

Why there is a massive uproar this time though. Its on reddit, twitter, discord?

[ancient perch]

for example ive heard that people prefer to run with a rdm or smn

[regal pawn]

Nah

[slate arrow]

5ch and 4chan being the usual. It'll die down in a few weeks

[ancient perch]

over say a machinist

[regal pawn]

Uh

That's a fat no lmao

People don't run a caster over a Phys ranged

Standard setup for DPS is 2 melee, caster, Phys ranged

[ancient perch]

no no i mean , jobs that are favored

[regal pawn]

Anyways

[regal pawn]

In the end
Doesn't matter

[ancient perch]

okay

[regal pawn]

Unless you're speedrunning

[slate arrow]

They're meta chasing dumbasses who you really shouldn't listen to

A clear and having fun > having a crap time

[slate arrow]

It's better to play something you're interested in over playing what other people tell you to play. Like my fighting games

[true jolt]

How bad 2 ranged, a melee and a caster affect clear rate or prog?

Afaik only 2 ranged in party are "punushed" cuz they have defensive buff that cant stack

[ancient perch]

ninja it is then

lol

[regal pawn]

I mean it's viable

[slate arrow]

Nobody said you can't 🤷

[regal pawn]

Just that afaik, it's 2 melee because there's more melee jobs

[slate arrow]

At least it's not Stormblood levels of meta where WAR was always the main tank

[crisp pelican]

Some people say machinist sucks compared to the other jobs but I'm going to tell that even if u play mch people will take you with them
Mch is just fine it just happens to have the short end of the stick at times

[regal pawn]

Actually no wait

Itd 2 melee due to positioning

[leaden ginkgo]

What’s the best way to level up a secondary class? I’m currently bard level 58 but would like to level up conjuror to unlock white mage.

[regal pawn]

Cause most strats have m1 and M2
But you can just shove a ranged there

[warped nest]

Ohhhhhhh

!faq altjobleveling

[green grail]

depends on your progression speed, clearing the tier week 1/2 might be difficult but after that you start making up for the minimal damage loss with gear

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/leveling

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok thank you

[true jolt]

I think people who say mch sucks are the one wh try to clear a fight asap :/

The one that cant stand being 30 sec slower than the most optimize party comp

[regal pawn]

Yes

But at the same time
It is kinda down low...

Not that it's not viable but
Buff pls, why is it lower than buff jobs

[warm snow]

Because that's how adps works

It's all within 1-2% of each other

[regal pawn]

Samurai and Black Mage

[true jolt]

I see. In JP most macro use D1-D4 so it ls not really affecting anything i think

[regal pawn]

Yeah

Same shit in the end

As long as you don't bring dupes
Ez game

[sand bluff]

Still have kaiten on the hotbar

[regal pawn]

Loser kekw

[crystal bluff]

never let go...

[ancient perch]

ive heard there are websites that make routes for hunting logs

is that a thing?

[wind zephyr]

is treasure maps doable with 4/5 man?

[patent citrus]

yeah

[wind zephyr]

is it hard?

[patent citrus]

still comfy, but still takes a long time to kill mobs lol

hard is if you solo or duo tank/healer

[slate arrow]

You only need a tank and a healer

[wind zephyr]

ohhh i see

is there more loot to share that way?

[patent citrus]

no difference afaik

[slate arrow]

But you want more DPS for both more loot and the better chance to complete Bonus events in dungeons

[twilit arch]

The class hunting logs or the hunt bills just to double check

[wind zephyr]

is it easy to fail the dungeons with that number?

[ancient perch]

the logs

[twilit arch]

i don't know of a route thing for the logs but http://dimensionaldeath.com/index.php?page=huntinglogs has images with locations of all hunting log mobs

routes for hunting logs, afaik not really a thing

[slate arrow]

Dungeons as long as you don't die you'll be fine, but bonus events are on a timer so if you want that bonus loot your DPS should focus the bonus mobs

[wind zephyr]

ok, thx for the info

[sand bluff]

Think he talks about hunt trains

[twilit arch]

They clarified logs

[full heron]

Played a bit with controller on PC and the camera kept like rotating around (don't mean auto-aligning towards my back when moving). Like it goes around kinda like a afk camera thing? How the hell do I turn this off? I keeps doing it now when I'm on mkb again

[twilit arch]

is your controller still plugged in?

[patent citrus]

there's a setting for afk camera yeah

[full heron]

Well I don't mean afk camera but kinda reminds me of that

[regal pawn]

I wanna say stick drift

[full heron]

Well bluetooth is still on didn't connect it with a wire

[twilit arch]

but is your controller still connected to your computer in a way that you can still utilize it in game

even though you've switch to kb/m

because if its still connected, then its likely the controller still

and controller probably has drift

[full heron]

Looks like more than camera setting than a stickdrift**, it's not like it's constantly rotating towards the same direction

[slate arrow]

The game doesn't stop reading inputs even if you switch yeah

[regal pawn]

It's 100% controller

Turn your controller off

[twilit arch]

cos i don't honestly know of a setting in game that would rotate your camera like that

[regal pawn]

See if it persists

If it doesn't
Stick drift

[stuck cave]

Hi are there any bugs with Copperbell mines? the npcs wont walk past the first gate

[twilit arch]

even when you yourself move well past it?

[stuck cave]

yea

it like they are stuck on a wall

[twilit arch]

iirc there's an elevator you take after the first boss

to go down, so once you take that they should teleport to you

[stuck cave]

ok

yea it worked ty so much :)

[pallid hearth]

So uhh, what's the best gil-making leves for 6.1?

[ancient perch]

ah okay thanks

[storm sapphire]

how do you get box turtles in the game?

[austere ember]

heya guys so i'm looking to do the "Date with Destiny IV" achiev (1000 fates completed) and I was wondering on any tips on how to do it faster, best spots, jobs etc I'd appreciate everything!

[dry belfry]

if you're at lv 90, you can join a FATE party that pops up in EW areas. some people might also still farm them in HW and SB areas for memories, or ShB areas for Gemstones and Shared FATE

[austere ember]

havent seen many but ill be on the lookout!

[still gate]

I'd probably try doing that as BLU, they tend to have a pretty easy time with FATEs

[green grail]

stickler for carrots is probably the easiest to craft and gather but there isn't really one that prints millions of free gil like coffee biscuits

[midnight grotto]

what's an enrage supposed to be?

[left whale]

kill you, all of you

[green grail]

scripted end of the fight

[potent hazel]

means it's the end of the fight and you die after it

[green grail]

average boss in high end content will have around 10 minutes of mechanics and after it's done it's gonna enrage and kill you if you haven't killed it first

[warm snow]

Rocks fall, everyone dies

[midnight grotto]

makes sense

[austere ember]

does bozja FATEs count towards it?

[green grail]

bozja doesn't have fates so no

it has skirmishes and critical engagements

[narrow jay]

they may seem just like fates, and function almost identically to fates, but they are not fates

[open rock]

are there any BLU discords?

[warm snow]

Yes

[strange coral]

https://discord.gg/blueacademy

[plucky jewel]

what....

[outer mural]

you can stack atma as long as you have a eligible weapon

[pallid hearth]

Hmmm yes I suppose so, thanks!

[warm snow]

There's also 10 atma relics

[plucky jewel]

i still can get other job's relic weapon?

[faint flare]

You can get them all of you're that mad

[steel wigeon]

i thought you couldn't

[plucky jewel]

pass

🤣

[twilit arch]

atma aren't unique

[plucky jewel]

i have to do this on 9 books?

[strange coral]

Yep

[plucky jewel]

🛌

[boreal storm]

Worst grind ™️

[plucky jewel]

i cant purchase all books at same time, worst indeed

relic cannot be dyed? no circle in the icon, this look weird

[oak lily]

they glow later

[plucky jewel]

last stage?

[twilit arch]

the second to final and final step, zeta, can be dyed

but all steps before then, cannot be

[boreal storm]

And in order to have it in the glam dresser, you have to have the replica

[oak lily]

what's the enrage on P2S?

[faint flare]

A long cast sewage deluge

Just after the 3rd knockback lines and an aor

[oak lily]

I mean the timer

[magic light]

10:30

final moments before your death

[oak lily]

well I've only cleared once

and apparently it was close

[magic light]

starts from 10:16

[oak lily]

oh, it was, 10:18 kill

[plucky jewel]

i see

[plucky jewel]

replica?

[strange coral]

When you finish the final step you will be able to by replicas that can be put in the glamour dresser

Since the actual relics can't be put in it

[plucky jewel]

ooo

[boreal storm]

They exist so you can glam the other steps of the relic, not just the final one

[plucky jewel]

i see

now idk when i will finish it

lazeee

[cloud sand]

Long time after your original question but yes, there's two of them

http://ff14huntpath.c4cdn.com/shb/ this one is outdated but works up to and including shadowbringers

https://ffxivhunt.com/hunt_d_route.php this one is a bit different but covers endwalker

[boreal storm]

Hunts and hunting log are quite different

[cloud sand]

Ah, I see what you mean now, my bad.

[hardy inlet]

what armor set do i get after level 60 gear

[boreal storm]

What do you mean by that, you just upgrade when shire falls off around lvl 65

[hardy inlet]

ah k

i ment like the same type of ironworks thing

[abstract bluff]

how to get the new 6.1 PvP Set? the one that looks like the lich king

[oak lily]

play ranked

[boreal storm]

Yes and shire is the ironworks equivalent for lvl 60, go to idyllshire/foundation and buy it

[hardy inlet]

kk ty

[twilit arch]

don't have to play ranked to get the archfiend set

just need to play pvp in general and get series exp for malmstone rewards

[gritty falcon]

Is there a way to replay side quests? I kinda plowed through all my job quests, raids, etc. the first time around.

[karmic brook]

have they announced an end date for garo

[strange coral]

You can use new game plus. The quest to unlock it is at Vesper Bay after finishing the 2.0 MSQ.

[strange coral]

Not yet. Last time we had GARO it lasted a couple of years though.

[boreal storm]

No, as there’s no announcement in #lodestone-news-na

[karmic brook]

so i can grind casually

cool

[raw granite]

can you use a saved waywark set from a macro ?

[random garnet]

Hi what jobs are the best to level up for the role quests in shadowbringers and endwalker later, I've done the tank one and need to pick jobs to level up for the others, looking for the jobs that get the leveling done the quickest

[open coral]

If you're looking for quickest, probably SGE for healer, RPR for melee dps, DNC for ranged physical, and RDM for caster.

[slate arrow]

all of them are viable, but the ones which start the highest are Sage, Red Mage, Reaper, and Dancer

[sleek needle]

Rpr, dnc, rdm, sge

[leaden ginkgo]

Can allagan tomestones be farmed, or is it just the daily roulettes

[open coral]

Poetics can be farmed

As can the green ones for the current tier... Allegory?

[boreal storm]

Duties just give tomes normally

ARF for example is 150 poetics a run

[leaden ginkgo]

Neat. But the others are daily then?

[twilit arch]

aphorism for the 90 currency that isn't weekly capped

astronomy is weekly capped to 450 a week

[open coral]

Right, Allegory was last expansion

[boreal storm]

No tomes are daily

You can just get them from doing content

[leaden ginkgo]

Also where do I turn in poetics lol. I saw the place for turning in aphorisms and astronomies

[boreal storm]

You don’t in EW

[open coral]

Poetics are only for old content gear.

[slate arrow]

All old endgame hubs, Mor Dhona, Idllyshire, Rhalgrs, and Elmore

[boreal storm]

Poetics are specifically for non-current expansions

[slate arrow]

There may be a poetics dump for the Endwalker relic, but that's pure speculation.

[boreal storm]

But no gear or nothing until 7.0

[leaden ginkgo]

ohhh. gotcha. Also sorry if I misunderstood the answer, but I'm only seeing poetics listed under regular duty rewards. So are astronomies and aphorisms daily roulettes, or am I looking in the wrong spot

[boreal storm]

You’re not looking at 90 content

[slate arrow]

Your EXP reward after getting to max level is generally replaced with 90 currency

[open coral]

You have to be using a level 90 class for Astronomy and Aphorism tomes to appear included in the daily bonus for Alliance Raid and MSQ roulette.

[leaden ginkgo]

I seee, understood! Thanks

[worn monolith]

About desynth level: I need to max it in order to get fieldcraft materia III or more skill in desynth gives me higher chances to get better materials?

[boreal storm]

Just a better chance

It’s still RNG

Also like, you can just buy fieldcraft 3 with scrips

[worn monolith]

Are scrips content for sub players only? Free Trial here yet

Even in my early post ARR I didn't saw any sign of these scrips

[remote lintel]

no because scrips start at 50 iirc

[worn monolith]

When they unlock?

[boreal storm]

At 50

Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)

[sleek needle]

You can do mor dhona and idyllshire quests (once you get there)

[karmic brook]

what are the fastest aphorism farms

ar roulette?

[open coral]

CC

[cosmic reef]

Yeah CC is the fastest tome grind tbh

If you want another method you do have treasure maps as well

[remote lintel]

hunt trains

if you get one

[open coral]

FATE farms are okay too.

But I think for time spent I think CC is most efficient overall.

[gloomy imp]

when they mention having to complete a lvl 90 job quest for mentor status do they mean "role quest"?

i've just heard of that

[twilit arch]

yes

[gloomy imp]

thanks

[cosmic reef]

For the older jobs yes for the newer jobs probably not

Is any job before this expansion will not have a level 90 job quest

[twilit arch]

there are no lvl 90 job quests

its only role quests for 85-90

[cosmic reef]

RPR stops at 85? Sick

[boreal storm]

What no

[open coral]

RPR has class quests until 80, just like every other class.

And then role quests for 85-90, again, like every other class.

RPR and SGE are the only jobs with job-specific quests in addition to falling under the role umbrellas for 70-80, since they start at 70.

[ancient perch]

is there no way to dye the ghaslty ninja outfit?

i mean man a purple ninja thats new

[open coral]

Is that the EW artifact set?

[slate arrow]

are you talking about the i90 one

[ancient perch]

its the one that comes out of a chest

im at level 50

not sure how i got it

[remote lintel]

you can get a dyeable version

thats the job gear you get at every level cap

[ancient perch]

ah

like the ARR cap you mean?

[remote lintel]

no the level caps

[open coral]

That's the ARR one, so you have to exchange special tokens for the dyeable version iirc.

[slate arrow]

To be specific the i90 one was patched in to make it easier for new players to be able to play important content

[remote lintel]

50, 60, 70 80 90

[slate arrow]

If you're looking for the dyable ones, those you get by augmenting the i50 ones

[ancient perch]

was thinking more along the lines of making it a glamour

but i guess its not possible with this , to dye and make it a glamour i mean

[slate arrow]

Yeah no the i90 ones are stuck as is

[fluid plover]

Do melds have any effect in Bozja content?

[slate arrow]

nope

The 430 sync is a hard sync both up and down

[remote lintel]

also this is the lvl 90 ninja job gear so lol

get used to purple

[ancient perch]

lmao

pruple is fine but that shade of purple is wew

[open coral]

Similar to PotD and HoH, you could literally go into Bozja in level 1 gear and it would make no difference.

[ancient perch]

not really ninja like haha

wanted to make it all black

[remote lintel]

you can augment the ilvl 50 ones and dye them black and use that as glamour

[ancient perch]

what do you mean augment?

sorry im really new

[strange coral]

Some gear has to be upgraded to Augmented <piece name> to make it dyable

[slate arrow]

You can trade in the item level 50 gear in hrystmill with Gerolt's assistant to make it dyable

I believe you just need enough poetics now unless they haven't changed it?

[ancient perch]

ill go check , thanks :D

and im so confused

my MSQ just gave me a lvl 70 weapon coffer

and im level50 lol

the "is it the primals" quest

[narrow jay]

Item level 70

[strange coral]

Item level 70

[slate arrow]

"item level 70"

Item level =/= equip level

[open coral]

Item level is distinct from actual level.

[narrow jay]

Item level starts diverging from player level once you hit 50.

Lv50 Poetics gear (Augmented Ironworks) is i130

Gearing up by level

Click on a link below to view the gear guides on consolegamewiki.

Level 50
Level 60
Level 70
Level 80

[ancient perch]

so thats how it works

[open coral]

It's confusing if you haven't played a game with ilevels/gearscores before, since until level 50 there's basically no difference.

[narrow jay]

....was that an automute

[south tangle]

Is it better to find weaponry instead of crafting it

[boreal storm]

Dungeons poetics, buying it on mb

[open coral]

Depends on your current level and your current gear level.

[slate arrow]

There is no difference, assuming it's a HQ weapon

[south tangle]

Hm

[slate arrow]

Item level means it's of equal level of another item at the same item level

Rarity is cosmetic

[south tangle]

Ah

[open coral]

If you're still leveling, though, it's usually not worth it to spend gil buying weapons, since you'll just replace them pretty quickly anyways.

[narrow jay]

Rarity color mostly just indicates source now.

[slate arrow]

That being said, raid weapons tend to be "better" as once you hit maximum level, crafted gear can only be "augmented" to 10 item levels below the current maximum

[south tangle]

Huh

[ancient perch]

what happens if my armory chest is full ?

i opened the coffer and it gave me the item

but ... its not there

[slate arrow]

Gear goes into your inventory

[narrow jay]

Green is dungeon/crafted, blue is tomestone/raid/artifact, purple is relic. But, for example, an i580 blue gear and an i580 green gear will have the same stat values—although not necessarily the same substats or substat order.

[slate arrow]

I'd recommend setting your item settings to deposit into your inventory first and then manually putting things into your armoury chest

Makes it easier to track new drops

[ancient perch]

ohyeah you're right

i have to clean up my armory chest too

everythings full now lol

so just sell everything i dont use?

[open coral]

Or put it in a retainer to use for another class later if you want.

[narrow jay]

If you don't want to keep it for glamour, or for alt class gear, yeah.

[south tangle]

Should I level the gathering classes first before crafting classes (I’m free trial so no market board for now)

[slate arrow]

gear is easy enough to come by when you know where to get or craft it

[slate arrow]

Either or, you can get by with vendor gear for most of it

[south tangle]

Yeah fair

But some cosmetics are exclusive to crafting

[oak lily]

fishing is free levels with ocean fishing

[sleek needle]

I'd keep gatherers a few lvls above your crafters, so you can actually gather the stuff you need for crafting whatever

Or just max them out first, either way

[ancient perch]

question about the summoner/scholar thing

[south tangle]

Yeah

Good idea

[ancient perch]

so if i wanted to be scholar after levelling a summoner, i..

actually how do i do that lol

[slate arrow]

They share levels, that's about it. You'll still have to gear and do job quests seperately

[boreal storm]

They share levels but you still need to do job quests on the other one

[south tangle]

I think crafting is cool so ima do it, even though I can buy everything easily.

[open coral]

Do the quest to become a Scholar, and you'll be a level whatever Scholar at the same level as Summoner.

[ancient perch]

ohh

[strange coral]

Equip an arcanist book and no job stone to make the scholar quest appear in the arcanist guild. It doesn't appear if you're a summoner.

[ancient perch]

alright, thanks :D

[open coral]

As Industrial mentioned, you'll still have to gear and do the Scholar job quests to whatever your level is, but for ARR jobs you earn "class" experience, so when you're leveling you get "Arcanist" experience which goes towards both jobs.

[ancient perch]

can someone remidn me what to do with 100% spiritbond items ?

[open coral]

Extract the materia from them

[stark hawk]

So there's this random guy that suddenly kept telling some horrible stuff like to ky--- yourself and such. Where do I go to report him?

[ancient perch]

i havent put any materia on it , in fact i dont even know how to dlol

[south tangle]

Are most dungeons unlocked through the msq?

[ancient perch]

i... didnt compelte the quest

haha

[strange coral]

system menu > support desk > report harassment

[open coral]

Yes.

[stark hawk]

Thanks. But I would like to include screenshots of the conversation as well, can I do that? Because he literally came out of the blue like that

[strange coral]

"Extract" converts the spiritbond in to new materia

[cosmic reef]

Extract is just free materia

[open coral]

There are only a handful of quest-locked optional dungeons for leveling purposes, although there are a large number of level cap dungeons you can unlock at the end of each expansion's base content.

[cosmic reef]

Just always do it

[strange coral]

I don't think so, but they can look up logs. Just let them know the character name and server, timestamp, and which chat channel

[stark hawk]

Thanks I will

[ancient perch]

its greyed out for me, guess i have to go and search for the quest i needto complete ... or something

[open coral]

I think there's a place you can put the ticket in on the Mogstation as well, but as long as you provide the relevant chat information they can review the logs directly.

[stark hawk]

Ill do that too then

[ancient perch]

oh wait nvm scratch that

[sudden pond]

I don't understand how mooch 1 works.

I'm getting striped goby (so far all under 4.9 ilms). I need those to catch shadow fish

I know that is the proper fish based on the quest log, but it doesn't let me actually cast mooch. Anyone know what I am missing?

[crystal bluff]

It needs to be a large one

[sudden pond]

oh. Well I guess I just have bad luck!

[crystal bluff]

Use patience to increase the odds of it being a large fish
Then the right hookset skill based on how many ! appear above ypu when you hook the fish

[sudden pond]

oh, that's what those ! or !! mean?!

[crystal bluff]

Ye
There's also !!! For special fish
Not sure which one you use for those, though

[sudden pond]

only took a half hour, but thank yall 😄

[strange coral]

It depends on the fish

[quasi basalt]

For some reason, i cant find anyone to do the Thornmarch(Hard) trial, and i have to do it for the MSQ

This is so frustrating

[oak lily]

dps?

[quasi basalt]

Yeah dps

[open coral]

Then your queue is gonna be a bit.

[quasi basalt]

Im on lancer/dragoon

Oh

[open coral]

Dps always have fairly significant queues, especially for 8 man content.

[quasi basalt]

sorry new to the game

Didnt knkw tbh

Oh.

[boreal storm]

Just gotta wait sometimes, happens to everyone

[quasi basalt]

Well..alright

[open coral]

Just queue up for it and go find something else to do for a bit. Level an alt job or something.

[quasi basalt]

Still getting use to the game so ya

Yeah i might do that I guess

oh i found ONE. Wow ok haha, but thanks for letting me know how this stuff works

[open coral]

Are you trying to do it in Party Finder or Duty Finder?

Because the DF role tallies aren't really a good indication of how many people are actually queued for the instance.

[boreal storm]

Sometimes you just go from empty to full

[quasi basalt]

Oh duty finder

[harsh gust]

How do I do to have my PvP skills?

[quasi basalt]

ohh well

Im still learning. I heard party finder is way more better?

[open coral]

Be in a PvP zone like the Wolves' Den.

[harsh gust]

Im on but I don’t have skills X-X

[twilit arch]

open the pvp profile

[boreal storm]

Replace all the crossed out stuff

[open coral]

For certain content it will be impossible to do it in Duty Finder because it doesn't show up in roulettes. Extreme trials fall into this category. Party Finder can be better if you're trying to get a group for content and your Duty Finder queues are over 30 minutes. You can say that there's a first time bonus, and some people will join for the bonus tomestones or experience.

[harsh gust]

Where is this?

[remote lintel]

character menu

[boreal storm]

Should also be on the hotbar
Red square with swords

[sudden pond]

does none = uncapped fps?

[harsh gust]

But all my skills are crossed and when I go in my skills to put them in my hotbar my usual skill still there

[harsh gust]

Never mind

[remote lintel]

open your pvp profile

[robust crow]

open your pvp profile

[harsh gust]

I found the profile jcj 😭

Thank you all!

[robust crow]

yea they completely overhauled pvp

so you have to redo every pvp bar

or else you're gonna get caught with your pants down when you queue

[harsh gust]

This is so strange I want to try xD

[robust crow]

PvP feels a bit more like a moba now

and less like MMO

[south tangle]

How much marks do you get from doing the wolfs den on average. I’m not really a fan of pvp but there is a really cool armor set I want for glam purposes

[ancient perch]

where can i turn off other player's ability animations?

[open coral]

You get uhh... 500 for a loss and 900 for a win, I think?

[ancient perch]

it was so hectic during the moogle king battle i couldnt see anything lol

[open coral]

In CC, at least.

[south tangle]

Hm

[remote lintel]

700 for loss

[south tangle]

Kk

Oh

Huh

you loose or get 700?

[remote lintel]

you get 700 if you lose

you get 900 if you win

[south tangle]

Ah

Ok that’s good

[remote lintel]

character config > target i think

[open coral]

Yeah, it should be in the third tab, all the way at the bottom.

[robust crow]

you may as well work on the pvp GARO event for mounts and titles if you're gonna pvp

[open coral]

You can change party effects to "Limited" which will keep vital information like healer bubbles, but cut most of the particle effcts.

[gritty falcon]

Is there any notable side quest content that ISNT replayable in NG+?

[robust crow]

daily frontlines also gives marks

[ancient perch]

thanks, changed it

[umbral dune]

What is notable in the first place? Usually blue quest that lead to job, dungeon, trial, raid or quest chain are all replayable

[gritty falcon]

I guess I was thinking mainly the blue quest marks you pointed out

[strange coral]

Beast tribes, Eureka, Bozja aren't in NG+

[gritty falcon]

I do recall in more recent expansions, there are some yellow quests lead into each other in a minor plotline. I assume those are one and done?

[twilit arch]

most side quests are not replayable in ng+

[open coral]

They've made any significant side quests into

[slate arrow]

Often times those are related to beast tribe unlocks

[gritty falcon]

Like there were several aether current quests that clearly had a yellow followup that I never touched

[open coral]

Aether quests don't have actual followups.

The quests those NPCs give are usually unrelated.

[gritty falcon]

Interesting

[twilit arch]

not necessarily

[slate arrow]

Aether Current quests are also often tied to a chain, but you're only required to do the first quest

[twilit arch]

like the follow up quests of shisui unlock are very much releated to the inital quest

[open coral]

I think they've made those now though.

Not

[twilit arch]

no unfortunately its not

[slate arrow]

I don't recall the Shisui quest follow ups being blue, but you need those to unlock the Custom Delivery there

[twilit arch]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/55bae26f56e/

The final quest of the chain, that is required for the custom delivery

its very clearly a

regardless, the follow ups of certain aether current quests do relate to their initial quest

so its a false statement to say they're usually related

[gritty falcon]

Is there a resource that compiles all these minor quest lines?

[twilit arch]

not really, assuming you're talking about like their stories. there's the lodestone which has all of the quests. and you can always look in the completed section of your quest journal

[boreal storm]

Also the various wikis just have the quests available to be looked up

[gritty falcon]

Fair enough

I know the pieces are out there on lodestone and wikis but would be nice if there was a kind of checklist I could go through

[boreal storm]

I mean

Does anyone know a good Valkerie helmet that can be worn by sam

[calm sphinx]

is relic weapon coming any time soon in endwalker or wait for 6.2?🤔

[warm snow]

6.2 is an educated guess

[fresh jasper]

both SB and ShB ones are released in like x.25

[warm snow]

otherwise we know sweet fuck all

[faint flare]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/151558839005741056/944441716973404200/firefox_2022-02-19_11-54-37.jpg

New weapons enhancements for 6.2 series

Aka relics in 6.25

[half canopy]

Is that the next relic steps after ilvl 535? what ilvl would these be?

[faint flare]

Ew relic will probably start at 585

[remote lintel]

and should be 665 by the time of 7.0

or

635

[faint flare]

665

635 is the ilvl of the next patch

[modest igloo]

EW relic will prolly start at 615

Since crafted weapons will be 610

For 6.2

[remote lintel]

ye i think it should start at the ilvl of the next crafted set?

[half canopy]

is 535 the most recent relic?

[remote lintel]

535 is the shb relic

so yes

[boreal storm]

There’s no EW relic yet

[oak lily]

So basically, just work towards relic?

How many steps will be available at the start?

[strange coral]

There's nothing to work towards for the EW relic right now, other than be caught up on MSQ most likely. It will have it's own starting point.

And we don't know how many steps yet. The relic steps of each expansion have been handled quite a bit differently from one another. So it's hard to determine a precedence.

[twilit arch]

probably wont have that many steps tbh

first step is usually fairly chill

[boreal storm]

Heck it could be like ShB and they just give the weapon for free

[oak lily]

That’d be nice

[signal shore]

are there any good resources that help with picking a ff14 job? especially if you are looking for a specific play style or like more specific things like "I like to play classes that where the feeling of hitting my opponent is important or the skills have a satisfying impact" etc. I don't find the "what class should I play" videos on youtube very helpful

but if not, what class(es)/job(s) fit these characteristics: focused on burst damage, decent mobility, decent CC, skills have a satisfying impact, aesthetics don't really matter to me

[crystal bluff]

CC isn't really that much of a thing in this game, outside of pvp at least. Most melee classes have a single target stun that sort of becomes useless at a certain point, white mages have a spammable aoe skill that has a stun for mobs in dungeons

[boreal storm]

Honestly just try out jobs until you find one that works

[heavy wadi]

the answer is that it is subjective

to pretty much all of those questions

and cc is nonexsistent

there's nothing stopping you from playing every job

[signal shore]

I don't know if I can post a link

but there's this resource from dfo

https://doda.app/quiz/nmhTRkUv3T

but personality is misleading

since it's a "playstyle preference" quiz

not a personality quiz

is there anything like this for ff14?

[boreal storm]

No, just try out stuff

[signal shore]

I hear you, but I've also learned jobs are VERY different at max level and lower levels

[trim yacht]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-WbHvtDZrQ

could try that

[boreal storm]

They really don’t change that much unless you’re playing BLM

[signal shore]

focused on burst damage and decent mobility is subjective?

[faint flare]

All jobs have burst, everything revolves around 2min burst windows

[midnight tinsel]

Ninja ?

[faint flare]

And all jobs have good mobility of some sort

[signal shore]

so all classes are homogenised in this game?

[heavy wadi]

this isn't really something we can answer for you

try everything

[signal shore]

and you only pick based on aesthetics?

[heavy wadi]

watch videos

[crystal bluff]

!faqmeta

[heavy wadi]

determine for yourself

ultimately everything has a different variation of a burst and the things that you've described

[faint flare]

Jobs aren't homogenised, they achieve their burst and mobility in different ways

[signal shore]

I came here to ask, because I did just that

to find alternative guidance

[midnight tinsel]

Like i said

Try ninja

Mobile shorter bursts big potencies

[boreal storm]

But of course if you don’t like how ninja plays…

[midnight tinsel]

I think they get that

[signal shore]

alright, thanks

[spring gorge]

Hey can I still use my current FF account when I buy the Steam version? Basically tried the Free Trial withouth Steam and considered buying it through Steam

[twilit arch]

yes, you can upgrade from non-steam trial to full steam

but do note, that once you upgrade you are locked into steam for any and all future expansion purchases

[spring gorge]

Great thanks for the Info! 😄

[maiden dagger]

if i change my name after leaving my fc. would the activity feed update to the new name?

niche question but i was just curious.

like would it say "luisyyypoo left the fc" and the update to "luisyyypoonewname" left the fc?

[remote lintel]

pretty sure it would

[wispy copper]

generally how much does the infusing part of the relic weapons cost

[obsidian patio]

The 75 materia step?

[wispy copper]

ye

[obsidian patio]

If you stick to cheap materia and world visit other servers for the cheapest ones, I doubt more than 50k

[wispy copper]

what's the cheapest materia

so afaik you gotta use 44 grade 1s?

[boreal storm]

We can’t tell you, we’re not on your world

[wispy copper]

and those are like 4-5k?

[obsidian patio]

At the low grades they’re all pretty worthless

But generally it’s Skill Speed, Spell Speed, Piety, and Tenacity

[wispy copper]

44x4 = 175k?

[obsidian patio]

Check other servers

Most of the time low grade materia barely breaks 1k

[wispy copper]

the lowest for piety is 4.4k

[boreal storm]

And the other materia mentioned?

[obsidian patio]

Hmm, I guess the low grade materia market went up last time I checked

[wispy copper]

I'm searching it on marketboard but don't see anything

[obsidian patio]

Most of the grade 1’s on Gilgamesh hover around 2-4k

But grade twos can be anywhere from 500-4k

[wispy copper]

this is a very fat gil sink

[warm snow]

Awww that's cute

You think this step is bad

You need to spend 400k gil on materials for a later step

And there's no other way of getting them

Just straight up 400k

[dire prawn]

Which relic is this

[warm snow]

Arr

[boreal storm]

Still got books to deal with

[dire prawn]

Disgusting

[warm snow]

arr says fuck youuuuu

[dire prawn]

I'll never touch ARR relic weapons a day in my life

[warm snow]

And this is post nerf

[dire prawn]

Or SB relics because they require Eureka

[warm snow]

Ran out of relics to do, started Eureka, it's surprisingly fun

Community on light is great craic

[modest igloo]

Same on crystal, though why is it that it’s dead on some DCs and very alive on others?

[warm snow]

Ppl go into anemos on off hours, see few ppl, declare it dead and leave

[wispy copper]

the books are before this no?

[modest igloo]

Correct

Materia is post books

[signal shuttle]

I'm level 90 my friend is level 16 on the trial. Is there a way for me to power level him or something? Like let him tag a mob and I kill it or something?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

Or you can but powerleveling stops being good past like level 25

You’ll likely do better helping them through dungeons as a tank or healer for better queue times

[crystal bluff]

No reason to powerlevel them anyways
Since everything is locked to msq
Unless it's an alt job for them

[little fulcrum]

You can somewhat level him fast by queueing dungeons with him and you have a tank/healer and you being mentor can somewhat help :^)

[signal shuttle]

What level does potd start?

[boreal storm]

The unlock is lvl 17

But you can enter at any level

[leaden ginkgo]

wheres lvl 80 leves?

[faint flare]

80+ is sharylean

Expansion leves are always in the main city of that expansion

[steep egret]

yeah since everything is behind MSQ, power levelling your first class/job, literally pointless
except as mentioned, helping with dungeon queue times for story dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

ah okay , thank you

honestly fishing leves are awesome

[boreal storm]

Not needed, just do ocean fishing

[outer mural]

fishing leves are powerful for levelling but if you don't need fisher immediately, ocean fishing is king

easiest 90 of my life

[leaden ginkgo]

ive alrdy gotten 1-80 in a few hours today xD

but yea

i barely fished LMAO

will do ocean fishing to see how fishing works

[heavy wadi]

ocean fishing will get you to max in like 3 boats

[outer mural]

ocean fishing is different from regular fishing because your goal is to rely on RNG and get as many point as you can as opposed to aiming for specific fish in a relatively chill timeframe

so while it is fun and worth doing, it's not the same experience as 'traditional fishing'

[crystal bluff]

Shadowbringers fishing leves were hilarious lmao
All the fish were dirt cheap
Got 70 to 80 in like 3 minutes

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

[crystal bluff]

How exactly does ocean fishing work btw
Like I assume there's guides of what bait to bring and when to use them, etc

[leaden ginkgo]

so 80-90 , best to do Ocean fishing?

[faint flare]

From 1 to 90

Do it every 2hours

[warm snow]

Ocean fishing is best at all levels

But you can only do it bi hourly

[boreal storm]

There’s 3 baits, one you use so spectral current spawns and another bait is for the unique fish

[leaden ginkgo]

Alrighty, thanks guys

[rough fossil]

[robust crow]

you can get it back two different ways

[crystal bluff]

Talk to the calamity salvager

[dapper otter]

i didnt see it unless im blind

[robust crow]

either farm centurio seals or do new PvP for an upscaled version

the level 60 gear isn't in the salvager

[dapper otter]

wolfs mark or?

[robust crow]

trophy crystals only

[crystal bluff]

it's not? Weird
Nvm then

[robust crow]

for the upscaled version

[dapper otter]

only saw DoW lvl 60

[robust crow]

it's higher resolution and cleaner than the original set

[dapper otter]

do you know how many by heart? i only want the pants

[robust crow]

something like 1.5k

don't remember exactly how many

but if your pvp battle pass is level 1, that's like 3 CC matches

which takes like 15 minutes

[dapper otter]

alright ty ty

[wind citrus]

I am getting error 2002 in Light datacenter. Any way to fix it? is it happening to someone else?

[obsidian patio]

Server-based error, not much you can do personally

[wind citrus]

is that something I can fix in any way?

[amber holly]

Does anyone know the correlation between floor level and chance to increase aetherpool in POTD? Tried googling but couldn't find anything definitive

Floors 51-60 don't seem to be leveling my aetherpool passed like lvl65ish

[faint flare]

If your Aetherpool is synced then the chance drastically drops to near 0

[boreal storm]

It only goes to 99
So like you can just do 51-100 multiple times

[amber holly]

Yea doing 51-60 isn't leveling me anymore. Maybe just gotta queue for the higher floors, which sometimes nobody is in. Thanks!

Maybe I'll try a PF group or something

it was old tomestone gear

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to FF14 and I just bought the game and got my subscription through the initial purchase, so now I have to buy a subscription, however i don't clearly understand what they mean. The french translation is worded very weirdly and I wanted to ask. So on the website i go on add game time right? Then i'm not sure what to do since i play on steam, are both subscriptions auto renewed? That's not very clear to me on that point and there's no prices too so i don't understand

if anyone has an answer please

[sullen vine]

Anyone know minimum stats to get tier 3 on the lv70 stuff for ishgard restoration? The guide said
"1323, 1356, 399 and tempura NQ, gets you third tier."
But I'm constantly only hitting tier one even with these stats + food:s

[obsidian patio]

What gear are you using?

Your craftsmanship might be too high and prematurely ending the craft.

[sullen vine]

hmmm without food it's like 1326, with food its at 1398 or something

[remote lintel]

do only tanks have the interrupt? or was it phys ranged too

[twilit arch]

phys ranged also have it

[sullen vine]

should i try food that doesn't buff my craftsmanship?

[remote lintel]

kk

[twilit arch]

try using trial synthesis without food

and see how the rotation plays out

[sullen vine]

alright will try, does control help more with quality?

[twilit arch]

yep

[sullen vine]

ah ok

cause as far as i'm aware, i finish all of the macro

so i might just need more control to improve the quality gain i'm lacking since my synthesis is actually filling up way more than 1/3rd of the meter per attempt LMAO

[twilit arch]

its probably what wynne said and that your craftsmanship is too high and thus causing your synethsis skills to put too much progress in

so you may need to take out a synthesis step or two

[obsidian patio]

Or move them later

[sullen vine]

yeah it does synthesis at the end so i think it's just more i need more control

[twilit arch]

hm

if its ending early in the macro

[sullen vine]

it's not

[twilit arch]

ok

[sullen vine]

it's doin the entire thing ye

so lemme try a control food real quick

[twilit arch]

then yea boost control

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok so I’m trying to put this macro in for an expert recipe rotation thing. Would it be 2 separate macros since the thing is split off and sorry if I made that confusing

[twilit arch]

yes

its 2 macros

macros can only have 15 lines in them

[sullen vine]

what i find ironic is the reccommended food is straight up for craftsmanship so maybe something changed since this guide was made LOL

[leaden ginkgo]

Oki thank you

[faint flare]

Note the "macro 1 finished" line

Signalling the end of the first macro

[twilit arch]

are you using HQ gear?

[sullen vine]

ye

[twilit arch]

because the guide is largely aimed at people using NQ

and thats why the food is there

[sullen vine]

ohhhh

[twilit arch]

HQ gear is going to give you a much bigger boost in stats

and thus the food recommendation may not apply to you

[sullen vine]

i couldn't tell if the guide meant to have these stats before or after the food

but yeah even with control food it's a little inconsistent, so it's kinda iffy for me

[twilit arch]

iirc those are the min stats required, either before or after food

[sullen vine]

yeah i tried to hit them before food first

but now with control food, im hitting tier 2 more consistently

but not an assured tier 3 like the guide seems to say rip

[twilit arch]

if you have higher CP

you can maybe change a few of the touch actions

for something thats higher in quality

but sometimes you just have to play around with the macros since not everyone has the same gear

so macros can be a bit hit or miss

[sullen vine]

yeh i got like 52 cp remaining so i'll try to mess with it a little

maybe part of it is that im not using hq mats but i doubt it since it's aimed at nq stuff

hehe i found a spot i could shove in one more great strides usage and i think it made all the difference ty^_^

[true jolt]

Can anyone give advice about gearing multiple role

I have have 8 job at vl90 (2T2H4D) due to role quest and so I can be as flexible at possible while pugging

Problem is gearing is hell. If i buy from mb i felt its useless doing alliance raid and extreme while at the same time the farm can be painful. I stuck here between want to be flexible with 8 job yet none have enough ilvl. All of it stuck at 585ish

[faint flare]

585 is enough. Anything higher is weekly locked or upgraded crafted gear (and ex weapon)

[feral nest]

Quick dumb question that I've probably asked like five times before but for the like of me can't remember the answer: can I queue for something and then switch to a crafting/gathering prof while I'm in line?

[true jolt]

I am afraid of the next tier. I check based on ShB, next tier ex need like ilvl595 or 600

Do i need to accept that I can only focus gearing one role especially i dont do savage?

[true jolt]

Yes you can!

[faint flare]

The next tier of normal will need 585

The requirements only go uo by 30 ilvls each tier

[twilit arch]

yes, just need to switch back

before accepting queue

[feral nest]

The birth of Limsa Lominsa's best fisherman is upon us.

[feral nest]

Oh thanks for that, I wasn't sure if it would have switched automatically or not

[faint flare]

Plus the next tier isn't until fucking August so you'll have plenty of time to get tome and savage drops and 24man drops

[true jolt]

Ty. I think my probelm is I want that upgrade "now" and cant be patient getting weekly drops

I mean, i burned out on 6.0 due to I aim specific normal raid token and lost it 5x in a row :/

[warm snow]

Normal raid gear is bottom of the barrel now

You can augment crafted gear to 590 and the alliance raid drops 590 armor

[true jolt]

Aye. That was during 6.0 where 590 is hard to get + normal raid still weekly cap

[warm snow]

I mean even then you could buy/craft 580 gear

[true jolt]

I try to avoid crafted gear then i realize how stupid I am with ammount of role i have lmao

[warm snow]

Well at least you recognise that the bullet in your foot was your own handiwork

Also the first set of crafted gear has really low requirements compared to later stuff

[shrewd cradle]

if there are ost savants here, does anyone know the name of the shadowbringers track where it's just the classic celebratory riff song but then the singing MEN appear, giving a new spin to an already heard track

[patent citrus]

yeah, I never bother with those normal raid loot, lol

I mean running it multiples times just to get specific loot

[warm snow]

I have no idea wtf you're on about, any chance you have a video clip?

[shrewd cradle]

sorry no, i wasn't capturing

[warm snow]

also why is men in all caps?

Can you look up a cutscene?

[shrewd cradle]

they are very grandiose

yeah

[true jolt]

Yeah, i kinda feel like this. I try to enjoy thr gearing process as intended but crafted gear just straight up nullifies the grinding

So i was wondering whats the purpose of 24man and 8 man normal gear weekly system if crafted straight up faster albeit price can be expensive

[obsidian patio]

Gil-free alternatives

[boreal storm]

They’re free

[shrewd cradle]

very spoilery!! ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yX_rLSXDMo||

[warm snow]

An alternative

[shrewd cradle]

it starts at 22:08, that track is usually called just shadowbringers, but the men version

well it starts the same as the shb but takes a different path

[warm snow]

That's tomorrow and tomorrow

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[shrewd cradle]

damn it's very spoilery on youtube

[true jolt]

24 man felt like painful alternative :/

Do people in general agree 24man gearing sucks? No guaratee for your role and no token exchange system for "pity"

[shrewd cradle]

i guess it plays again after

[warm snow]

Do I grind against rng, or spend my gil or git gud at crafting

[warm snow]

That's what the greed/need system is for

[boreal storm]

Tomorrow and tomorrow is the ShB theme, so most videos assume that you’ve beat it

[warm snow]

If you want tank gear, run it as a tank

[faint flare]

Just go as that job if you super want that gear

[shrewd cradle]

hmm

i'm not hearing the men

[warm snow]

If you want free gear you're gonna have to fight rng, but you can still be smart about it

[shrewd cradle]

damn, must have had a wrong track in mind

[faint flare]

Hell I've even gotten stuff just greeding random gear I wanted

[boreal storm]

Because those weren’t guys, even in the time stamp

[shrewd cradle]

no no they very very were guys, but it's a different track

[warm snow]

The main ShB theme is just called shadowbringers

[true jolt]

I mean, tanks is easy to say

I run 30 times towee just to get healer set cuz either it wont drop or my co healer roll higher than me

Dps... Idk i stuck with 3 ranged dps (me mch) and boi do i never want to gear dps using alliance ever again

[shrewd cradle]

very deep voices

[warm snow]

Yeah, that's shadowbringers

[shrewd cradle]

i've listened to shb a lot, it's not the one i'm searching for :-(

gods why must my memory faulter

[warm snow]

#rants is another channel. If you're trying to gear all jobs you kinda have to accept that it's gonna be a slog

[shrewd cradle]

thanks anyway

[warm snow]

Or take/use the available shortcuts/alternatives

[shrewd cradle]

ill just shazam it next time i hear it

[warm snow]

I'm omni 90,most of my jobs are classical gesr

Except rdm, brd and dnc

Cuz I love rdm and raid as the other 2

They're all bis

[true jolt]

I see, crafted on non main and savage/cap tomestone in main role

[warm snow]

By the time augmenting crafted gear is available that market crashes pretty damn hard

[warm snow]

Basically, although I'm slowly gearing up a tank with mostly tome gear cuz I've nothing else to spend them on

[frank wigeon]

hey is there a timer on when The firmament Fetes will occur?

i cant seem to find a website that updates it as i am mostly away from my keyboard

[obsidian patio]

Not that I’m aware of.

[woeful swallow]

I am wondering if there are any specific groups for running DR savage for the Cerb mount?

[patent citrus]

what I meant is just rolling whatever I can get, lol

[obsidian patio]

But once it’s a “Fete day” they start every 2 or 3 hours for that day

[patent citrus]

so just need all, get drop from each floor and done with it

and fill the rest with crafted, bad substats but whatever really

[obsidian patio]

I know this one for Aether. https://discord.gg/abbaffxiv

[woeful swallow]

thank you very much

[frank wigeon]

Thank you, is there an ability to visit the firmament on another world during fete day?

[faint flare]

No

They disabled that real fast when firmament was initially released

[sharp lynx]

For the ARR Zodiac relic, do you need to finish the relic to Zeta to get replicas of the previous steps?

[faint flare]

Cause people couldn't enter it cause everyone went therr and congested the zone too much no one could enter

[boreal storm]

Yes

[weary flame]

any way to have another free trial while keeping my characters? I can't afford the game rn but i love it and wanna keep playing w my characters, is there a trial reset at any point?

[boreal storm]

No

[weary flame]

alr thank u!

[icy charm]

Why didn't they apply the Aetheryte map update at the Firmament?

[boreal storm]

Because there’s no currents there

[icy charm]

I meant like the tp map system

it's still using the outdated list ui

[twilit arch]

because they chose not to

[grand spear]

is there any cooldown of creating FC? and for joining a new one?

[remote lintel]

24 after leaving an fc

is when you can make a new one

[dire prawn]

Is there anywhere I can easily see what crafted gear requires what materials so I can buy it off the MB

Or can I just ask here

[heavy wadi]

look at teamcraft.

[remote lintel]

cant you just right click the thing and see what the recipe is

or am i tripping

[boreal storm]

You can

Assuming you have access to the recipe

[remote lintel]

if not i just look it up on garland tools and it tells you all materials in the crafting tab

[main nest]

How do I get through this gate in Ishgard? TvT

[boreal storm]

Chocobo porter

[remote lintel]

talk to the guy at the chocobo place

[main nest]

Ohhhh okok thank you!

[near yew]

do highlander male animations suck in cutscenes

i like their chaddery but i dont really want to play them if they have awful expressions or a lack of expressions

[broken igloo]

I've seen an emote where people twirl their sword into the air like a baton.
Does that work for lances, and if so how would one get it (please don't say "with real money")?

[remote lintel]

that just sounds like the victory/battle pose for specific classes

so no you cant get it

unless you play that class

[boreal storm]

Anything that’s specifically for a weapon like that is usually job exclusive

Actually I think you’re talking about the male vpose for drk

[broken igloo]

I mean I don't know, that's why I was asking.
It was done at the start of a fight, so I assumed it can be done at will like any other emote.

[narrow jay]

Seems like either the /battlestance or /victorypose for Red Mage, the way you're describing it. And yeah, those will be unique per class.

[arctic barn]

the /vpose and /bstance emotes are given to you during the HW post patch quests

[broken igloo]

[narrow jay]

i mean, i suppose, lol, but it's gonna be kind of hard to toss a planisphere (astrologian) up and catch it like that

and your character isn't locked to one class, so you can play around with them all eventually

[main yarrow]

Is there any actual benefit to doing the 70-80 role quests besides gear?

Does it give actions you need etc?

[boreal storm]

You have to do one to beat ShB

[main yarrow]

Ahh so thats it? I see

[remote lintel]

you get important lore if you do all of them

but if you dont care then its eh

[flint pollen]

Any one having game dcing?

Had to restart 4x

[hollow inlet]

Where do I go to raise my mettle in bozjan?

I see I can raise it but idk who to go to to do it

[modest igloo]

Do fates

[hollow inlet]

Is there a specific person I talk to to raise my mettle once I’ve accumulated mettle? I did do a fate

[modest igloo]

Oh you mean rank

Yeah should be the captain guy in the main area

[hollow inlet]

Yes rank. And which guy?

[modest igloo]

Been a while but iirc he’s nearby the small tents

Can prolly just check all the npcs there and familiarize yourself with them

[faint flare]

The resistance commander

He'll have a mark on his head

[hollow inlet]

Thanks

[wild lark]

Before getting expert delivery for the GC you guys have any suggestions on farming seals?

[main yarrow]

I'm trying to get this top https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/be1e0885e71
From Memoria Misera Extreme. However idk the fight at all & PF is dead when it comes to it, so its impossible to learn.

Am I fucked?

[crystal bluff]

Watch a video, put up an unsynced farm PF
hope people join

[narrow jay]

Hunting log and clear content.

[narrow jay]

I would add to br0's comment: include "unsynced for glam" in your pf description, since there's a large section of the community who will do ridiculous things for glamour.

[wild lark]

Ty

[narrow jay]

Or, if you want only the top itself and don't care if it's dyable, then finish the magic-dps role quests in Shadowbringers and get the gear from the vendor in The Tempest.

The only difference between the base Artifact gear and the MemEx gear is that the latter can be dyed.

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Weathered_Estoqueur's_Bliaud

[vast ferry]

I assume since the blu level cap is 70 there’s no dungeons beyond stormblood that have blu spells in them

Is that correct

Since I just finished base stormblood I’m wondering if I should start on getting my blue mage spells since I was waiting till the essential spells became available

[boreal storm]

You still need to do patch content for all the spells

[vast ferry]

How far in

I kinda want to get every blue mage spell but that’s the collector (written as hoarder) in me screaming

[boreal storm]

4.3 basically and do the trials/raids/extra dungeons

[vast ferry]

Kk ty

[leaden ginkgo]

need help with POTD to get +15 for aetherpool (or high enough for floor 51). already have +9. Im at sephirot @ Materia/OCE

[slate arrow]

You should try your local party finder first, or just spam floors 1-10

[remote lintel]

is dragonsongs reprise 19 mins or 20 mins

it must be 19

[honest anvil]

slightly longer than 19 by around 10 secs

[remote lintel]

and its 7 phases right?

[honest anvil]

final enrage is sth like 18:57

[worthy ridge]

I havent played since may of 2021, is there somewhere I can see what ive missed since then?

[honest anvil]

7 + 1 if you count the practice before checkpoint

[remote lintel]

kk

[steep egret]

read all the patch notes on the ff14 website i guess

[south tangle]

Hey if im looking to be serious with crafting, should I just power leveling the gathering classes to level 50 (of course I'll get them to 80 later on). Im unsure how bad the xp ramp gets, but with the levequests ive been doing for miner I got to level 30 super fast so it doesn't seem to bad, compared to my combat class at least. (For reference, my combat class is 30 rn, but im not in any rush to level it up cause im tryna catch up with the msq).

[remote lintel]

leves are the fastest and most expensive way to level crafters/gatherers yes

[south tangle]

expensive?

[remote lintel]

you buy the mats and turn them in

but power leveling in general doesnt take that long it just depends how determined you are

[south tangle]

uh for most of the gathering ones I have to collect the mats manually
