questions-and-help

[south tangle]

how bad does the ramp end up being for the leves

or does the xp gain continue to scale at a steady rate

[remote lintel]

its fine all the way through

but at a certain point after heavensward you unlock an area that can power level both crafters and gatherers

like all the way to max

[south tangle]

oh cool

yeah i read about that

i just feel like if i want to take advantage of crafting, it would be better to, while not leveling with my class exactly, atleast keeping close to my classes level, or even ahead

[vagrant scaffold]

I'm looking for some people to help me found an FC (for my own use) - what are the negatives for someone helping me to found and then immediately leaving?

I want to make sure I'm giving someone accurate info on the downsides to helping me

[slate arrow]

Just a cooldown on some FC privileges like buying a house but otherwise nothing I don't think

[barren ether]

Hello, my account is in the US for some reason. I can't seem to put my billing address as I am in Canada. This won't affect anything, right?

[slate arrow]

I want to say no, but it's also Square Enix. You'll just be hit with an error code if you can't pay anyways so worth trying

[barren ether]

So, do I need to make a new account then?

[outer mural]

If you haven't invested anything or just don't mind making a new one anyway, I would maybe put in the extra effort to make a new account that's in Cnada just i ncase

[barren ether]

ARR scarred me.

[outer mural]

I've had a friend with a few issues in regards to payment falling through due to different countries between account and billing

[main yarrow]

Whats the macro that allows you to inspect people without actually targeting them?

[outer mural]

but it never hurts to try, else it'd just say 'no' anyway, like indust said

[jade quartz]

/c <mo> (while mousing over them)

[barren ether]

Wait what? So if I move countries, I'll have to make a new account.

That sounds pretty wack

[main yarrow]

Tysvm

[boreal storm]

No I’m pretty sure support can change your listed country, IF it’s in the same region

[outer mural]

yeah to be perfectly clear what I said was not gospel

[barren ether]

I messaged support about changing from the US to Canada, they said it's not possible

emailed*

[outer mural]

I was just advising it in case but agian

just try putting in your info, it should work but if it falls through then you lose nothing

[barren ether]

I'll try it rn

unfortunate

it errored me

[outer mural]

if you have paypal or are willing to set-up paypal, you can use that to purchase crysta instead

kind of an extra step but it works

[broken summit]

Is there a way to have a craft show up as a quest? Like have a require materials list show in the quest area?

[limber sentinel]

@broken summit right click on object symbol, select recipe tree

[umbral dune]

Nope cus material either come from DoL(and they can only see the node, not even the hidden item inside) or intermediaries which only showed in your inventory

[limber sentinel]

(or the name in the GC delivery list which is accessible from the timers window)

[umbral dune]

You will have to memorize the required material and gather all before the crafting session

[gray crescent]

can a goldsmith desynth some weapoms? only it can use in accesories?

[boreal storm]

If a goldsmith makes the weapon, as is standard with desynthing

[slate arrow]

AST astrolabe, Weaver needles, uhhhhh

[boreal storm]

Blm staves sometimes

[hot eagle]

rdm weapons

[gray crescent]

ohh theres alot nayssuh

[delicate elk]

Is it important to do the regional levequest unlocks in arr

[slate arrow]

yes if you're leveling crafters via leves otherwise nah you can skip

[delicate elk]

why if leveling crafters

are the courier leves best?

[it's been a long time since i've leveled from 0, pls forgive]

[boreal storm]

The only reason you do leves is to lvl crafters and gathers

Because combat leves are garbage

[delicate elk]

well yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Technically ARR still has battlecraft leves but the exp is diminishing

[delicate elk]

but are there better exp options from just the main cities

[leaden ginkgo]

No

[delicate elk]

i know there are courier and in-town leves

and there might be triple turnins in arr too

[leaden ginkgo]

There are no triple turn ins anywhere

[delicate elk]

hmm

[leaden ginkgo]

It's much easier nowadays to do potd or just daily roulettes

[delicate elk]

crafter leves i mean

[leaden ginkgo]

If crafters then yes leves are good, but you can also do ixal for easy xp and also GC turn ins

But yes, triple turn in has been removed everywhere last I checked because it was too easy to farm money with it.

[boreal storm]

No, they got nerfed to hell
And EW doesn’t have any iirc, but they still exist

[rotund spruce]

for things like eureka and bozja, how can I get a different instance? i keep getting the same dead one

[boreal storm]

First off it’s 11-2 am on a Wednesday/Thursday

[leaden ginkgo]

They're DC wide aren't they?

[rotund spruce]

yes

[slate arrow]

You either wait for the existing instance to lock or for the population to go over 72 so a new instance pops

[rotund spruce]

ok so just waiting, got it

thanks

[slate arrow]

but at this hour there's very likely only one instance

[rotund spruce]

likely, thank you

[delicate elk]

is there a guide somewhere for getting the most mileage out of the road to x buff within the 90 days you get

i tried googling, but all i got were posts on of about the buff itself

[slate arrow]

Entirely depends on what you want to chase, I'd personally recommend focusing on the jobs that start at level 1 so you can get over the ARR hump quicker. What are you specifically planning on doing with this new character

[delicate elk]

new main!

[slate arrow]

Are you buying a story and/or a job skip

[delicate elk]

only story skip id consider is arr

but i'd also like to see what changes they did since i haven't yet

xp comes so fast that i feel like job skip aint worth it

[slate arrow]

Okay so personally I'd try and get as many ARR and HW jobs and crafters to 50 as soon as humanly possible so you can get access to collectibles and other roulettes sooner

You're still cutting the required dungeon runs in half and ARR exp already comes out the wazoo

[delicate elk]

i'm hoping crafting doesn't suck

but am i wrong in misremembering that the exp curve was adjusted for 6.0

[outer mural]

it's mostly collectable spam

[slate arrow]

Once you get firmament unlocked it's p easy all things considered

[delicate elk]

in that just the numbers weren't in hundreds of millions anymore

[outer mural]

they mentioned combat job exp curve being more lenient before 80 iirc

[delicate elk]

I feel like exp was more than this when I last leveled almost 10 years ago

[outer mural]

but i forget if that applies to crafters

[slate arrow]

The ShB changes made it super fast, road to 80 will only make it even faster

fast as fucc

[delicate elk]

i am going quite faster than a fuckboi

[slate arrow]

(I still remember the pain of trying to level a crafter before the restoration + crafter overhaul)

( )

[delicate elk]

getting omni50 in arr was a nightmare

[remote lintel]

why do people compare 95th percentile instead of 99th

on fflogs

[modest igloo]

slighty more data points

[remote lintel]

ogey

[modest igloo]

crit varience is usually needed for like 99s

so people look at 95 for data since its acheiveable even if ur shit dont crit

[slate arrow]

Once you get above 90th or so it's basically critrng at that point

[outer mural]

90th to 95th is usually considered the acceptable range in which a class is fully played well and optimized without too much crit RNG factored in

[delicate elk]

what kind of raiding exp can i expect to have in 250+ ping

[modest igloo]

a rough one to be sure

things will snapshot hella early for you

im at 90 and get caught by some of them

[delicate elk]

can i still be purple

[modest igloo]

on a few jobs maybe

[delicate elk]

i used to be a [high] purple healer on na

[modest igloo]

i mean thats easy to do if you just let ur cohealer heal so thats not too hard lol

[remote lintel]

you would prob just need some hella prepositioning

[modest igloo]

the bigger question would be not dieing to shit

[delicate elk]

yeah. I don't know how much of a handicap i'd be

with shit ping

[modest igloo]

try lvl 90 ex and see how ya do

quadplanets will be a really good test of your ping

[delicate elk]

I'd just prefer not to run into a situation of "oh we wiped bc he's an american" or whatnot

[modest igloo]

i mean if they do that they're prolly not worth being around lol

you could say "my internet provider is shit and the nodes changed"

and they'd be like "ah classic SE servers"

[vast hinge]

you can very much compare 99th percentile still

but in general, especially on even patches where parsing is more competitive, it's going to be very difficult to achieve a consistent 99 unless you are in a static with a very consistent kt

[vast hinge]

I can't speak for every job, but I will say melee, especially the melees less reliant on party buffs making up part of their rDPS (RPR/SAM), consistent 95+ should very much be in the ballpark

obviously assuming max gear and minimal mistakes

[upper cove]

Has there been any news when the current pvp season will end?

[green grail]

ranked season 6.18, series 1 with 6.2

[upper cove]

Thanks

So about 3 months to max out the series rewards

[green grail]

3 months left yeah but 4 months in total

[upper cove]

Thanks thats plenty time then

[vivid bobcat]

PotD has only floor 51 checkpoint right ? there is no 101 checkpoint where i could start instantly from 101

[green grail]

correct

[vivid bobcat]

and necro title can be achieved only on a save that started from floor 1?

[modest igloo]

can someone dump that progression guide

[bold valley]

Msq is cancer. How many decades long is this bs?

[delicate elk]

the whole game

[modest igloo]

there is currently over 800 msq quests

[white sedge]

If you absolutely, positively hate MSQ:

1. Reconsider if this is the right game for you
2. If you still think it is and really don't want to do MSQ, consider paying your way past: https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/category/7

[bold valley]

Am considering paying, I see why it's an option. Guess they know how boring it is.

[modest igloo]

still gotta do endwalker MSQ to get to current raids

i consider MSQ far and above the best part of FFXIV, since im a ff fan

but if ya dont like story its gonna be a rough pill to swallow

[bold valley]

Ffs lol. When can I fly? Is that a thing?

[modest igloo]

msq locked

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

[solemn jewel]

Most players who stick with the game enjoy the story.
No point calling it boring just cus u don't like it

[white sedge]

lol this doesn't account for all ShB-and-older zones getting slashed from 10 to 4 field currents. Neither the tip or the linked site.

[vocal cobalt]

Guys which is better hunting field exploration or quick exploration

[modest igloo]

quick

[vocal cobalt]

For making Gil

Like which has a higher chance of being back something valuable

[modest igloo]

hunting is more consistant for a niche, quick is pretty RNG but can bring some good shit back

[steel wigeon]

quick give you some quite good selling items randomly
and i guess you can check in the MB what items sells the most for field explorations

[modest igloo]

gotta do market research to fully figure it out on your end tho

[white sedge]

Field XIII can give Taffeta Cloth and Light Steel Plate.

Both are exclusive to field ventures and used for popular glams (dyeable level 1 glam version of Coliseum items), and sell for quite a bit.

[spice pecan]

I heard buying houses is currently unavailable. When will it be available again?

[white sedge]

These are if you sell them raw. If you actually craft the glam they go even higher.

Oh I should use Primal prices

Not as lucrative as they are on Aether, but still not bad.

[modest igloo]

#lodestone-news-na has the full info, but may 16th

[narrow jay]

Tentatively.

[twilit abyss]

Fuck yea! All my retainers are ilvl 573. … now what does this do again?

[modest igloo]

well if its a gathering one, nothin

[twilit abyss]

I was told that the more ilvl past 530 the better.

[steel wigeon]

have access to higher field scouts afaik

[twilit abyss]

They’re all combat jobs

[modest igloo]

ye 573 looks to be the ilvl that gives max % for rewards

so now you can... screwed by rng

[twilit abyss]

So this affects the 18 hour missions right?

[modest igloo]

ye

moreso the quick exploration but i think you get a few more items from 18h

[vestal narwhal]

Just got into fishing, will having equipment that has high “gathering” help with getting rare fish?

[modest igloo]

yep

some fish cant be caught without enough gathering/perception

[twilit abyss]

Oh huh it affects quick exploration too…

I didn’t know.

[spice pecan]

I see thx

[vestal narwhal]

what areas have lvl 50 fates and such? I keep forgetting areas that are my current lvl

[civic garnet]

uh i wanna say the coethas zone

[vestal narwhal]

ty

[civic garnet]

theres the ARR and HW one tho

[autumn anvil]

There's a lot of areas in ARR that have level 48-50 sections. All of the beast tribe ones most notably.

[jade quartz]

Northern Thanalan is the usual place for 45–50 FATEs.

But why exactly are you doing FATEs?

[autumn anvil]

Ah yeah, I keep forgetting that that area exists. 😂

[halcyon mulch]

would a lv90 white mage trigger the armory bonus for crafter jobs?

[faint flare]

Crafters don't get armoury

[leaden ginkgo]

what should i spend excess White Gatherers scrips on?

[solemn jewel]

Did u get the folklore books?

[halcyon mulch]

can't go wrong with hi cordials

[leaden ginkgo]

oh nope , not sure what folklore is yet

[leaden ginkgo]

oh yea true

[sudden stump]

Idk if this is the right place, but is the glam dresser shared between characters? What about retainers?

[solemn jewel]

Books allow u to gatherer other resources iirc usually in timed nodes

[faint flare]

Nothing shared

[sudden stump]

Armory chest maybe?

[solemn jewel]

Nothing

[faint flare]

Everything is character bound except for specific account wide mounts and veteran rewards

[leaden ginkgo]

alrighty, ill get them then thank you

[sudden stump]

[teal eagle]

I'm level 90 weaver and want to get purple scrips so I can improve my gear. I tried custom delivery yesterday with level 90 gear from vendor but still couldn't do 3500 nevermind quality. What am I doing wrong?

[faint flare]

You always could habe

[pseudo crescent]

...omg

[faint flare]

You can ONLY loot on the weekly clear

[pseudo crescent]

i always thought it's one per week over ALL fights xD

[faint flare]

But you can win everything

!faq savagerules

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named savagerules exists, Kupo!

[pseudo crescent]

ohh so i can only finish it once and roll, but how much i win is rng?

[faint flare]

!faq savageweekly

[zinc orbit]

How does weekly-locked loot work in Savage?

Chests: The number of chests that drop depends on the number of people who have not yet cleared that week. 2 chests for 8 people needing a weekly clear and 1 chest for at least 4 people needing a weekly clear.

Loot Rules: Every week, your first clear of every floor rewards you with a book (for gear exchange) and the chance to roll on loot from any chests. This is your only chance that week to win any loot.

**Skipping Floors:**Entering a floor without completing previous floors marks you as having completed them, giving up both your book and chance to roll on loot that week.

[pseudo crescent]

ty!

[delicate elk]

have you done your class quests to get skills like manipulation and [the other one]

[modest igloo]

!action trained eye

[zinc orbit]

**Trained Eye** : lvl 80 CRP (250 CP) (0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases quality by 100%.

Available only on the first step. Recipe level must be at least 10 levels below yours.
Cannot be used with expert crafting recipes.

Powered by XIVAPI

[teal eagle]

Yes I have all my skills

[modest igloo]

can use that to make any CD 100% quality

[faint flare]

Only for 80 and under

So not for purples

[teal eagle]

Can't use that skill on a level 90

[faint flare]

Though I guess with custom deliveries you'll get some purples via that

[modest igloo]

all of those are 80 and below

[faint flare]

If you turn in as 90

[teal eagle]

Yes but I can't craft it, level 3500

[delicate elk]

vinyltails for mentor 2022

[faint flare]

That's not it's level

The levek is under the receipe name

All custom delivery recipes are 80 and under

[teal eagle]

Ok I will look tonight but that trained eye did not show up for me

[modest igloo]

can only do it the first step

so keep an eye out when you start

also the 590 gear you can buy is just better than the scrips and you'll need it for 6.2

[teal eagle]

I did but will look again later

[autumn anvil]

Max quality on custom deliveries should be trivial with level 80 white scrip gear. I can't imagine level 90 vendor gear would be worse than that?

Maybe if you're missing some important slots like main/off hand.

[teal eagle]

I think so.

What are the best skills to use for progress

[faint flare]

Buffed groundworks are very good

With veneration and waste not 2

[teal eagle]

Ty

[gray crescent]

hows the exp in frontline without the bonus?

[oblique skiff]

bad
not worth unless you're farming frontline for other reasons

such as mount or wolf marks (cc is better for wolf marks )

[gray crescent]

i see dang, im planning on lvling it and get some wins

okems

im so close too 8/10

[autumn anvil]

Oh, if you're talking 3500 difficulty that's collectables, not custom deliveries. Deliveries max out at 1600ish which is way easier.

[teal eagle]

Okay, but did you have a question?

[warped topaz]

So I wanna try doing E10S and is there anything I should be aware of. I play PLD

[green grail]

probably the mechanics

[white sedge]

Well, you spend less but also earns less

Does make vendor-trashing and quest gil a bit more valuable, I guess.

[little fulcrum]

Quest gil is a lot more valuable and Roulette Gil is enough to live on

[loud token]

What is the cheapest/best materia to get for the ARR relic weapon? I'm almost at the sphere scroll step and this looks like a pain in the ass and I want to make sure I don't spend too much Gil on it (unless theres a good way to get low level materia without buying it from the marketboard). I'm doing this as a warrior if that helps

[main yarrow]

What are the new rewards for CC/Frontline wins? I heard there’s mounts & titles

[obsidian patio]

Only the stuff you see in the crystal trophy shop and the series level rewards.

All of the crystal trophy items besides the accessories are brand new stuff

[sudden stump]

Also portrait stuff based on your rank (not sure if it counts for your question)

To get the mounts you need to equip one of the titles you get from the Npc in the wolfs den

[green grail]

and garo mounts/titles but that's not technically new

[sudden stump]

(equip the title and then win in PvP)

[open coral]

You can always just extract materia from your own spiritbound gear if you don't need specific materia.

[obsidian patio]

Whichever 5 combat stats you find that are the cheapest to do for your server/datacenter

With 5 stats, you only need about 11 of each stat’s grade 1 materia and then 20 more total grade 2 of those stats

[leaden ginkgo]

this might be a stupid question but if I completed the ARR relic questline once on one job, how can I start it over on another one?

Does anyone have like a list of stuff you need to craft when you're progressing the story quest of your crafter? My Weaver's level 80 but the story quest is still at level 30 and wondering if I can streamline the process a bit more

Yeah, if you're only on the Yugiri stuff, you're still in patch 2.2, so you've got... more than 60 quests remaining in post-ARR.

did they end up adding this in CC?

The biggest advice I can give (as a controller player), would be to group your abilities on your hotbars by effect - ST attacks, AoE, attacks, buffs, etc.

[ancient perch]

guys i dont get it, where when I look for leve quests , almost every non battle leve catergory just gives me "no quests available"

and do i really have to start from level 1 quests?

[open coral]

Have you at least done the levequest unlock from your starting city?

If you have, you should have access to all types of levequests in all regions.

[crystal bluff]

You have to do a separate quests to unlock leves for certain areas
And no,you don't have to start at level 1

[hallow fern]

i mean i like a good story but it's not my favorite thing in an mmorpg
i've heard that final fantasy 14 is more of an rpgmmo, but i don't think that necessarily means the mmo content is limited

[open coral]

No, the MMO content is definitely not limited.

[faint flare]

It just means the story is the first thought

[modest igloo]

theres a fuckton of mmo content, theres a 56 man raid

[faint flare]

As every piece of content has a story

[open coral]

There's extensive endgame content in each expansion, plus PvP, optional raids, etc.

[hallow fern]

pvp is on the bottom of my list, i really don't care about it

[modest igloo]

then congrats you never have to do it

you can do as much or as little as you want outside the story

do it all? cool, heres a ton of cool rewards and content

[open coral]

You can find a Free Company (player guild) or static (progression raid team) to join.

[modest igloo]

hell, the story even reflects the side content you do

[hallow fern]

i've heard that there's lots of stuff to collect and i'm kinda looking forward to that

[open coral]

There is SO much to collect.

Mounts

Minions

Glamour

Music scrolls

Housing items

[faint flare]

https://ffxivcollect.com/

Yes there's alot

[modest igloo]

stuff like that

[hallow fern]

that sword looks dope asf

[faint flare]

Gunblade

[open coral]

That is the Gunbreaker relic weapon from Shadowbringers.

[hallow fern]

i don't know what a relic weapon is

[open coral]

Relic weapons are very shiny

And very grindy

You have to do a lot of content to get even one.

[hallow fern]

i am familiar to gunblades because i've played warframe before, quite a lot actually

[faint flare]

Long quest chains for grindy shiny weapons

[modest igloo]

ours dont shoot bullets

[hallow fern]

i like grinding believe it or not, but only if it feels rewarding

[jade quartz]

FF gunblades are pretty different.

[modest igloo]

they shoot magic

[jade quartz]

they don't shoot

[open coral]

Then you will love relic weapons.

[modest igloo]

its VERY rewarding

[jade quartz]

there's a cartridge detonation mechanism in them that creates a magical shockwave on impact

[open coral]

Every expansion has relic weapon grinds.

[jade quartz]

that's the gun part

[modest igloo]

i made millions WHILE grinding 1 of my relic weapons

[jade quartz]

FF8 shit

[hallow fern]

great. so the game is like a second job. that's exactly what i'm looking for

[modest igloo]

not to mention the story and other cool areas

[open coral]

If you want it to be, yes.

[jade quartz]

FFXIV doesn't have much heavy grinding outside of relic weapons.

[ancient perch]

man there must be something going on. I can get levequests in gathercraft/tradecraft in the starting cities, those are level 1. However, going to say level 35 ones, in coerthas from cimmeraunt , shows me aboslutely nothing

[modest igloo]

a sceond job you can take a break from and get back into it at any time very easily

[open coral]

FFXIV is a "make your own playstyle" kind of endgame.

[ancient perch]

i have no clue what i need to do to unlock that

[open coral]

You can play exactly as much or as little as you want.

[jade quartz]

However this seems like an extended discussion that could be taken to #beginner-lounge at this point.

[jade quartz]

Complete the nearby blue quest "Leves of xxx"

[hallow fern]

i kinda can't, i'm 16 and i can't pay for the subscription myself. i'm gonna get it at the end of the year for my birthday. having a subscription that i don't use would make me feel super bad for having my parents pay for it

[warm snow]

Tbf that's largely because most of the content is relatively every green you have 10 years worth of content to play with

And more on the way every few months

[jade quartz]

Free Trial Download and Limitations

Click Here to download the Free Trial

Click Here to see the Free Trial limitations

[open coral]

Just start on the free trial. That's unlimited time, and two entire expansions-worth of content.

[modest igloo]

then the free trial is perfect for ya

[jade quartz]

The free trial has no time limit and contains all the content of the base game and first expansion.

[hallow fern]

i'm planning to play the free trial until the time comes for me to get the game

[jade quartz]

Only social, trade and pvp restrictions

[modest igloo]

literally all of the base game and HW to play

including the raids, crafting, sidequests, etc

[hallow fern]

i heard that the free trial is massive yes

[ancient perch]

yeah i know ,whenever you go into a new town, you have to do a trial levemete

ive already done that

and he gives me battle leves, but zero trade or gather craft

tho hes supposed to from the wiki

[open coral]

Stupid question, but you are interacting with an appropriately-leveled DoH/DoL, right?

Not as a combat class?

[ancient perch]

so i have to equip say the alchemist.... weapon in my hand to get those to show up?

i am interacting as a combat class

[jade quartz]

Have you gone to the appropriate tab of his menu?

[ancient perch]

didnt know the crafting was a class i had to equip on haha

[hallow fern]

alongside ffxiv, i'm also considering world of warcraft. what are the main differences between the 2 games?

[ancient perch]

dont consider it

[open coral]

Everything is a class.

[ancient perch]

ff14 is better

[hallow fern]

elaborate please

[warm snow]

You're not gonna get an unbiased answer

Buuut

[crystal bluff]

That's entirely sibjective

[jade quartz]

Err have you unlocked crafting classes yet?

And done your class quests for them?

[ancient perch]

yeah i joined the alch and culi guilds

[warm snow]

Transparent devs, consistent update schedule, content isn't completely dead when something new comes along

[ancient perch]

but i havent levelled them

[hallow fern]

you heard what i'm looking for, so now i'm just asking which game would be the better choice for me

[warm snow]

We have catgirls

[ancient perch]

was looking to level them thru the levelquests without actually doing any crafting

lol

leve*

[faint flare]

Wow removes content, 14 doesn't

[jade quartz]

Well you can't accept level 35 levequests with a level 1 class.

[modest igloo]

ffxiv, since WoW doesn't really respect your time or money

[open coral]

XIV focuses on allowing the player to decide how much or how little they want to play, and employs extensive catchup mechanics so that players who want to take a break for awhile aren't left behind.

WoW has a lot of extremely pointless and unfulfilling grinds, and absolutely horrific RNG.

[hallow fern]

that's enough to make me remove it from my list
the only reason i didn't buy destiny 2 dlc is because they removed the older stuff

[ancient perch]

so i guess i have to do this the hard way doing level 1 quests and then whatever is next, like a slow progression right?

[modest igloo]

ffxiv even literally this patch updated content from 8 years ago to improve new player experience

[open coral]

Leveling crafters is pretty quick, honestly.

[jade quartz]

It's a fast progression

[hallow fern]

its easy to forget how old this game is

[jade quartz]

But you can't just jump to level 35 leves with a level 1 class

[open coral]

Just craft the things in your log.

[ancient perch]

oh okay, ive never crafted before actually

[jade quartz]

I think that should be fairly obvious

[ancient perch]

because i heard gathering and getting materials was rough in the trial

[jade quartz]

Gathering isn't rough at all

[ancient perch]

alright :D

[jade quartz]

It's just that you can't buy materials off the marketboard.

So gathering's your only source (aside from low-level mats which can be bought from vendors)

but that's fine, you can just level gatherers and crafters at the same time

[hallow fern]

another concern of mine is inventory space. coming from elder scrolls online (still a beginner), the inventory space fills up ridiculously easily (at least without the subscription). will that be a problem in ffxiv too?

[ancient perch]

yes

[hallow fern]

oh lord

[ancient perch]

i am full. and i am gold capped

[jade quartz]

FFXIV has a huge amount of inventory space but that's because there are a lot of items.

[faint flare]

Just don't be a horder

[little fulcrum]

that's optional content for transmog purposes only tho. Most of the time you wont be doing anything grindy

[jade quartz]

You'll be fine if you don't hoard

[open coral]

Not really. You get a lot of base inventory space if you don't hoard items. Gear has its own inventory spaces for each gear slot as well, which helps alleviate the strain on your inventory.

[faint flare]

Trial doesn't get access to the bank system so you're down 340 spaces but just don't horde shit you don't need

[hallow fern]

in elder scrolls online i am specifically trying to not hoard and my inventory space is halfway full all the time

[jade quartz]

Halfway full doesn't sound like a problem to me...

[open coral]

You get your basic inventory + armory + chocobo

[hallow fern]

2 dungeons can fill it up

[open coral]

It's a lot of space.

[jade quartz]

Well that's not the case here.

It's not something to worry about.

[hallow fern]

in eso you get 70 slots in the inventory (at my level at least), but items stack

[ancient perch]

but how come? I'm full with randopm stuff in my inventory and have no clue what to delete or keep, since its all materials

[faint flare]

Only fishing really fills it fast cause there's so many God damn fish and so many baits

[hallow fern]

what are the rewards of fishing?

[open coral]

Just dump the mats unless you want them for crafting.

[faint flare]

Are you using it? If not then tosd

[hallow fern]

fishing really sounds like a lame activity so there must be a reason to keep people doing it

[ancient perch]

i plan on getting all crafts up, i dont actually know what i need and dont

[jade quartz]

People enjoy fishing.

It's not that lucrative.

[faint flare]

Eh just collection stuff really and some fish are used for recipes

[ancient perch]

as a result i hesitate to toss anything haha

[hallow fern]

collection stuff such as..?

[faint flare]

It has its own fishing log to collect one of everything

[jade quartz]

There are some achievement rewards from it, and you can put rare fish in the aquarium in your house

People just really like fishing.

[hallow fern]

oh now that's poggers

[open coral]

All professions are their own classes, so fishing in XIV has a rotation and abilities just like any combat class. It's a lot more engaging than just "cast your line > reel it in"

[fringe reef]

can I run alliance raids unsync for ShB relics?

[little fulcrum]

Aside from MSQ, no content is required for you to do

[jade quartz]

Some fish are very difficult to catch and have highly specific catch conditions

[faint flare]

I think you get a golden rod if you collect 1 of X amount of unique fish or something

[modest igloo]

this is from ocean fishing

[open coral]

Yes, but you still need at least 1 person per party, or 5 per party for some mechanics.

[hallow fern]

is that a flying mount?

[boreal tree]

Yellow!

Level 50 of POTD is the only requirement to unlock HOH nho?

Never tried it.

[jade quartz]

All mounts fly.

[modest igloo]

all mounts fly

[twilit arch]

all mounts can fly

[open coral]

All mounts can fly.

So yes

It is a flying shark.

[hallow fern]

that sounds ridiculous lmao

[little fulcrum]

also all mounts swim 😉

[jade quartz]

Flying must simply be unlocked per zone.

[open coral]

Only after you learn how to dive

[modest igloo]

and it is quite fun

[little fulcrum]

same thing for flying tho :^)

[hallow fern]

alright, we talked about the good stuff, now i'd appreciate it if you could name at least some of the things that i should be aware of, such as activities that can be a burden

[open coral]

If you like grinding, then you likely won't find anything particularly burdensome.

[modest igloo]

its code is.... a little jank and can take some used to

the earlygame is made for people who have never touched an mmo

[open coral]

You do have to do MSQ in order to unlock content, but that's not really all that bad.

[crystal bluff]

The base game can feel like a bit of a slog

[modest igloo]

so it takes a lot of time explaining everything

[jade quartz]

Game starts slow

[hallow fern]

i have touched some, but i'm relatively inexperienced

[jade quartz]

that's about it really

[modest igloo]

then theres really no downsides

[little fulcrum]

Cutscenes do feel kinda long at times

[open coral]

If you're relatively new to MMOs, but are familiar with JRPGs, XIV will feel pretty natural to you.

[jade quartz]

And on free trial you won't be able to use /tell chat, trade etc.

[open coral]

The early game plays out exactly how you would expect a JRPG to play out.

[hallow fern]

i'll probably never use those even after i get the game, but i really can't tell from now

[jade quartz]

Not being able to trade and use the marketboard is quite limiting.

[little fulcrum]

the lack of marketboard feels pretty bad, but it's necessary as anti-botting

[hallow fern]

how would bots be bad for trading?

[modest igloo]

the game is pretty good about giving you gear or ways to get it without the MB

[jade quartz]

Because gil farming/RMT is the number one use for bots in MMOs

[hallow fern]

idk what either of those are

[little fulcrum]

Imagine a bunch of bots farming out items in free trial and flooding the marketboard with items and mess up the economy

[jade quartz]

Using bots to farm ingame currency and sell it for real money transactions.

[modest igloo]

basically, bots would ruin the economy so you could never make gil for the things you want

[hallow fern]

speaking of in-game currency

what's the cash shop like?

[little fulcrum]

cosmetic mostly

[crystal bluff]

Entirely cosmetic

[jade quartz]

The cash shop is unrelated to ingame currency

You can't buy gil.

[little fulcrum]

not legally at least

[crystal bluff]

You can buy things to instantly level a class to 80
But that's not pay to win or anything
Just pay to save time

[modest igloo]

its as out of the way and isnt needed for anything at all

[jade quartz]

Cash shop contains some mounts and outfits

[little fulcrum]

there is that one mount that is faster for clearing story and such

[jade quartz]

As well as previous years' seasonal event rewards (they were free during the event itself, but if you missed out you can pay for them)

[hallow fern]

which means i have to pay for the coolest cosmetics, or is it almost entirely unnecessary?

[modest igloo]

15%

[jade quartz]

entirely unnecessary

[warm snow]

That's pretty damn subjective

[odd ledge]

Oh I wanted to ask, how much is it to pay for instant lvl 80 ?
I'm considering joining some of my friends who play on American servers, but I really don't feel like leveling up another character to lvl 80+, haha

[warm snow]

But I guess

[little fulcrum]

coolest cosmetics are ingame imo

[jade quartz]

The cosmetics on the cash shop are a tiny fraction of all the cosmetics and mounts ingame.

[modest igloo]

25 usd per job

[warm snow]

Honestly the cash shop gets some of the nicer mounts but not really character cosmetics

[jade quartz]

The cash shop is really fairly small.

[autumn anvil]

Job levels are (mostly) irrelevant, what you need is a story skip.

[hallow fern]

i heard someone else say that too and it's relieving to hear

[jade quartz]

I wouldn't even say it gets the nicer mounts

[little fulcrum]

cash shop cosmetics are mostly past events and some amount of character cosplaying

[jade quartz]

It just gets...some mounts.

[odd ledge]

A story skip ?

[jade quartz]

!faq skips

[zinc orbit]

What does each skip do?

Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.

Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME>'s Journey This item increases a given job to level 80. It will not skip your story progress to level 80. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 80 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl530 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS

[odd ledge]

Oh that's a considerable amount

[hallow fern]

in fact i'd find it extremely greedy if a subscription based game locked the coolest cosmetics behind a paywall

[jade quartz]

prices visible by clicking the links.

[warm snow]

Some of the nicer ones, cruise chaser or the megashiba or fatter cat

[crystal bluff]

You could wait for DC travel

[jade quartz]

all pretty subjective.

[warm snow]

Oh true

They're just some of my favourites

[hallow fern]

fatter cat?

[jade quartz]

And similar vibe or even more impressive stuff is available ingame.

!mount fatter cat

[zinc orbit]

Fatter Cat (1 Seats)

Seeing as how this pursy pussy can defy the very laws of physics by propelling itself high into the firmament, it is very likely that the creature is either a voidsent using a bloated cat's corpse as its corporeal vessel, or a deceased pet reanimated by one well versed in the necromantic arts.

A rideable mount of an even fatter cat is cash shop

[hallow fern]

oh my god

[modest igloo]

look at he go

[modest igloo]

he baby

[hallow fern]

that is the best thing ever

[open coral]

That is a cash shop mount.

[autumn anvil]

DC travel will help, but still won't let you visit NA servers if you're on EU right?

[jade quartz]

there are plenty of equally cute or fancy mounts ingame though.

[warm snow]

Yup

[open coral]

But there are so many other mounts in game

[hallow fern]

well i'd probably never use it anyway because i prefer cool stuff over funny stuff

[crystal bluff]

Ah
My mistake then
Nvm

[jade quartz]

Cash shop doesn't have the superior edge or anything

[hallow fern]

2 other things that i'm curious about

mainly combat

[open coral]

You'll definitely be able to find some cool mounts in-game. Even just in the free trial.

[warm snow]

@hallow fern this is an in game mount

[modest igloo]

free trail mount btw @hallow fern

[hallow fern]

does it feel good, does it have good feedback, is it easy, is it satisfying?

[modest igloo]

hell yes

[warm snow]

Subjective

[hallow fern]

8/10

[faint flare]

Yes generally

[hallow fern]

9/10

[faint flare]

It starts slow as you have literally 0 skills

[open coral]

Combat starts out fairly simple, but gains complexity as you get to higher levels.

[faint flare]

But when you have everything it flows

[little fulcrum]

Cash shop cosmetics doesn't look cooler or less cool than ingame stuff. Aside from past event items, they just lock some behind paywall for the sake of it. Most of cash shop items don't have the shiny glowey factor behind them so if you see glowey shiny stuff ingame, it's their work

[faint flare]

Then mix in high end mechanics while doing your rotation

[open coral]

Fight mechanics similarly start out fairly simple but gain complexity over time.

[jade quartz]

Early game combat is very slow

[little fulcrum]

tap targeting. it's boring for some people, and this problem is bigger at early game

[hallow fern]

shiny glowy stuff is my favorite by extremely far

[jade quartz]

Free trial goes to level 60 which is a fair way but some jobs still won't feel complete by that level.

[faint flare]

Can just look at how the newest ultimate fight looks for the insanity of the hardest fights in the game

[little fulcrum]

You probably wont be getting it during the free trial nowadays

[warm snow]

!iglam deathbringer ultima

**Deathbringer Ultima** **:** Dark Knight's Arm

Dyable?

No

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[hallow fern]

now that's what i'm talking about

[autumn anvil]

So yeah, you're looking at 25$ for Tales of Adventure: Shadowbringers to skip the MSQ up to Endwalker start. And then optionally a level boost to get a class of your choice to 80, for another 25$.

[hallow fern]

which brings me to the second thing i wanted to talk about, which is fashion

[warm snow]

That's from the.... 4th hardest raid in the game

[odd ledge]

Mhmh, I see I see

[open coral]

Glamour is the true endgame.

[odd ledge]

Well, thank you for the informations ^^

[modest igloo]

fashion is the true endgame

[hallow fern]

can you give me a demonstration of how cool things can get?

[faint flare]

It's called Fashion fantasy for a reason

[autumn anvil]

You could do a partial story skip to for example, only skip ARR which is the slowest part though.

[hallow fern]

i don't care if its from the 1st, i will do it eventually

[faint flare]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/

[little fulcrum]

just imagine anime style of cool

[faint flare]

There's alot to go through in the link

[hallow fern]

.. so long as i don't have to get a coordinated team of 55 people on my own

[modest igloo]

only 8 people for that raid

[faint flare]

Raid teams are 8 people for the vast majority of actual high end content

[hallow fern]

i love not only the wing looking thing, i love the background too

[faint flare]

That's the background of the final zone

[hallow fern]

is it doable with randoms? but like, actually doable

[open coral]

The "wing" is a Sage class ability in-use

The background is one of the zones in the game.

[modest igloo]

you'll probably need a dedicated group for it

[little fulcrum]

raids in this game are 8-man, 24-man, and 56-man (?)

[jade quartz]

I'm gonna

PFing ultimates is.......extremely volatile

[jade quartz]

yoink that image

Please be careful with spoiler screenshots here.

[modest igloo]

ultimate raids are extremely difficult and those weapons are some of the biggest flexs in the game

not to even mention the title

[open coral]

I kind of thought it was nonspecific enough to not be a spoiler, but okay.

[hallow fern]

i gotta go, thanks for answering my questions you guys

[modest igloo]

"The Ultimate Legend"

[jade quartz]

56man is only one raid.

[hallow fern]

i've decided that i'm definitely getting the game

[little fulcrum]

I mentioned it for the sake of inclusivity :"))

[jade quartz]

And that's the maximum allowance, not the requirement.

[modest igloo]

soon, you will see why ffxiv is the most active MMO on the market

[steel wigeon]

welcome welcome~

[open coral]

Feel free to come back and ask us any questions you have later on.

We're always here.

[steel wigeon]

although, i prefer suggesting not hasting things up and try with the free trial, you may never know if in the end you don't like it and waste your money on it

[cursive ridge]

are 560 accessories still the most you can get for doh/dol? dont see anything better

[faint flare]

Yes

[odd ledge]

Yeah, the Free Trial will at least allow you to play through ARR, which is a nice plus
I know a lot of people who got the game, and stopped playing because ARR is slow and sluggish, and not necessarily interesting at times

[hard peak]

how do i get my character linked to my service account? i already put the square enix account on a monthly subscription but nothing happened

[open coral]

Did you register the game to your mogstation?

[hard peak]

i think so

i have full access to the mogstation

[open coral]

What do you see when you look at this part of the Mogstation?

[open coral]

Then you shouldn't have an issue unless you're using a different service account to access the game.

[hard peak]

this still comes up though

[open coral]

Did you use the same credentials on the mogstation as you use to log in the game?

Also, have you just gone from the free trial to the paid version of the game?

[hard peak]

yep

[open coral]

If so, it might take a little while for your character to show up.

[hard peak]

oh ok

give it a couple hours or a day?

[open coral]

A few hours should be enough.

[hard peak]

ok, thanks man

[mild ermine]

So for normal p4, my friend and I can't queue as 2 healers?

[open coral]

You can

It's 2/2/4, so you shouldn't have a problem.

If it's giving you an error, then one of you may have either not yet unlocked it, or may have insufficient ilevel.

[warm snow]

Or you're in time out

[mild ermine]

Nope. No penalty, everyone has it unlocked, and we have above the item level gear.

Current party is a reaper, a white mage, and a scholar.

[open coral]

What's the party composition?

Yeah, that should be okay.

[mild ermine]

It isn't letting us.

[open coral]

What does it say when you try?

Specifically?

[mild ermine]

One of your party members does not meet the requirements for this duty.

[gusty cipher]

Honestly sometimes it just is dumb -- try disbanding and remaking the party, or switching party lead and have someone else queue

[heavy wadi]

they're either not high enough ilvl.

or they don't have it unlocked.

[mild ermine]

They are high enough.

[open coral]

Yeah, that's level, ilevel, or unlock.

[mild ermine]

And we just did it when they changed to a different role.

So they have it unlocked.

[faint flare]

So that person

[heavy wadi]

then it is an ilvl issue.

[faint flare]

On that role

Doesn't have ilvl

On that role

[open coral]

Have everyone check their ilevel on their new role.

[mild ermine]

They have it.

[faint flare]

They don't if they can't que as that role

[heavy wadi]

they do not

[faint flare]

What is their ilvl on that role

[mild ermine]

They have ilevel 588 lol

[twilit arch]

on healer

?

[mild ermine]

On healer

[heavy wadi]

[open coral]

If only one person changed roles, and that caused an issue, there's a problem with their ilevel or level.

[mild ermine]

Nope level 90, ilevel 588.

[open coral]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[heavy wadi]

literally only the things we mentioned could result in that error

[twilit arch]

i mean if you couldn't queue with them as healer

then literally the only thing it could be is their ilvl

[warm snow]

Or yours

[mild ermine]

No I didn't change role at all, didnt have to.

[faint flare]

Have them Screenshot their healer gear

[heavy wadi]

there is nothing that prevents you from queuing up as the same role

[warm snow]

I wonder if they recalc broken shit before they let you queue

[vagrant pendant]

hey guys
after goldsmith which crafter should i level?

[open coral]

Yeah, without seeing their character pane with ilevel, we can't really help any more.

[warm snow]

Whatever you want

[mild ermine]

Lmao okay here gimme a second

[vagrant pendant]

please dont tell me that

[heavy wadi]

whatever you want

[mild ermine]

Going to take a screenshot of their gear

One sec

[warm snow]

Well there is an add on to calc the ilevel of ppl you examine

[mild ermine]

Well getting them to

[vagrant pendant]

i asked for a reason

[warm snow]

WE DON'T PAY YOUR SUB

[twilit arch]

there's really no correct order for which crafters to level

[warm snow]

REEEEE

[faint flare]

You should be doing all crafters at once

[warm snow]

Spin a wheel

[open coral]

Haven't you heard that 3rd party tools are against TOS though? XD

[twilit arch]

And we strongly recommend leveling them all together

[warm snow]

It really doesn't matter

[twilit arch]

since its cuts down on armoury space

[warm snow]

All at once is more efficient tho

[vagrant pendant]

OK i want to craft gear for my other jobs

[mild ermine]

A screenshot of their gear.

[heavy wadi]

then level all of them

again, there's no order.

[warm snow]

And is anything broken of theirs?

[open coral]

Then someone else in the party is the problem

[vagrant pendant]

which crafter can craft gear?

[mild ermine]

Nope it's all fixed.

[warm snow]

And are they in time out?

Or are you?

[twilit arch]

then you should be leveling ltw, wvr, bsm and arm

[open coral]

All of them

[warm snow]

Yes

[twilit arch]

because they all craft gear

[warm snow]

Well not culinarian

But still: yes

[mild ermine]

How can someone else be the problem, if that person whose screenshot I showed, is the one that changed roled

[vagrant pendant]

goldsmith cant do it

[mild ermine]

and then it worked?

[twilit arch]

goldsmith does make gear

[open coral]

GSM can make jewelry, which is gear.

[twilit arch]

they make accessories

[warm snow]

Lies and slander

[cloud sand]

Sorry, late to the conversation, you guys already tried to remake the party right?

[mild ermine]

They can change to literally any other role and it works, it just wont let us queue as 2 healers.

[heavy wadi]

then it was your gear.

[warm snow]

Ast and rdm want a word

[mild ermine]

How is it the gear?

All the gear is fixed and above ilvl

[open coral]

There is no reason that you wouldn't be able to queue into 8-man content with 2 healers. Are you sure that you didn't pick a dungeon or something?

[mild ermine]

Yes I'm sure

[solemn jewel]

Redo the party

[mild ermine]

I'm gonna try remaking party

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[mild ermine]

One sec

[warm snow]

We can only assume/list variables we can't see your or their game

[cloud sand]

If you redo the party and it works then it was just a bug, if not then something IS wrong

[mild ermine]

Remaking the party worked

LOL

Bruh

[cloud sand]

Happens

[open coral]

Then it was just a fluke bug

[mild ermine]

That's the first time I have ever came across that

That's crazy

[cloud sand]

I've only had it happen once in years but I've had it happen before too

We were as flabbergasted as you guys

[modest igloo]

had that happen to me the other week

[cloud sand]

Was it a crossworld party? Those work iffy sometimes

[mild ermine]

Yeah we are all literally way above req. ivl, and have done p4 a bazillion times already. So it made no sense that we couldn't queue in as 2 of the same role in a 8 man.

Nope not cross. Just a regular party.

That's so strange what the hecc. Spaghetti code being noodly today I guess.

[little fulcrum]

I would argue Goldsmith made a lot of gear

most accessories are made from GSM

[lyric rapids]

is FFXIV discord streaming broken for anyone?

[solar moat]

Hey, was wondering if entering solo instances automatically disbands parties?

[twilit arch]

you have to disband before you an enter a solo duty

or at the very least, leave your party if you're in more than 2 person party

[solar moat]

Oh, okay. Thanks

[cloud sand]

The game will warn you before you do it too with a "Hey pal, unmake this party to continue"

[woeful drift]

do trust levels generally keep up? Or do we out pace them from all our exp buff sources?

[faint flare]

Pretty sure with the xp buffs awhile back they level faster than you

[twilit arch]

the shb trusts take around 1 run per level

ew trusts iirc is like 2-3 runs

[dapper oyster]

how a gpose work on LB?
can i use LB when gposing in town?
how about PVP LB?

[faint flare]

Same as using any other action

It needs to be the last action you used

Before entering gpose

[dapper oyster]

so i could cast LB even when gposing in limsa?

[sick flint]

how does ff14 run on laptops? I have on with an i7 4th gen and nvidia 840m, would that work?

[faint flare]

If it was the last action you used and nothing else

[modest igloo]

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker Official Benchmark

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/download/

[steel wigeon]

for PVP LB, you gotta go in wolves den

do your LB on the dummy

...and i don't think you can do PVP lb on other town as you teleport

probably if you go to your length and take the boats and go on feet till limsa, but in the end idk if it's possible

else for normal LB
gotta go in tourist mode in dungeons
and then again, idk if you can do LB and leave the dungeon to keep the animation

[dry belfry]

update: Support said they could not return it because i filed too late

[autumn hedge]

Aside from deliveries, what is the best item to gather for purple gatherer scrips?

[dry belfry]

if you go to the Appraiser, i think it should list which items will give you the most Scrips.

[autumn hedge]

Yes but which is the most efficient? It was taking me forever to fish deathworms

[dry belfry]

usually anything under BTN or MIN. you can also just do Ocean Fishing, that can give you a ton of scrips

[autumn hedge]

That's pretty good for white scrips for sure. It does give some purple too, right?

[warm snow]

Custom deliveries

[faint flare]

90 collectibles give purple scrips

So just go do your 90 collectibles in their nodes

[autumn hedge]

I said besides deliveries

time to set some timers!

[dry belfry]

it should, i believe if you get enough points

as long as you're max level you'll get Purple Scrips instead of EXP

[ancient perch]

lol. had a weird moment when as a fully clothed level 50, i equipped my craft weapon for the first time and had to craft nude

[leaden ginkgo]

I kinda need help on a decision. I plan on getting all my classes to 90. (Everything is 80 or higher) and I’m trying to decide which class I should do first. Monk or dragoon. I have fun with both of those classes so idk which one to do first

[open coral]

Yes, crafters and gatherers have their own gear.

[open coral]

Doesn't really matter. Whichever one you want. Flip a coin.

[ancient perch]

i felt like i stripped in front of the guildmaster lmao

[open coral]

You clearly haven't encountered Godbert Manderville.

[ancient perch]

doing alchemy in my undies now

[rigid notch]

i have a question about purchasing the rest of the game on PS4 (im free trial)

is the only way to buy the other expansions the complete edition bundle? cos it also includes hw and arr but thats alr part of free trial

[ancient perch]

i dont think i have haha

its not actually frie

you actually have ot buy ARR and hw

[open coral]

The free trial does not count as owning the game, so yes, you'd need to purchase the Complete Edition.

[ancient perch]

like the free trial lets u play them

but u need to buy it to own it first then go to endwalker

[solemn jewel]

You need to either buy complete or starter + Endwalker

[ancient perch]

it was unexpected for me lol

thought i just had to buy endwalker and thats it

[open coral]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287679207432257538/936004894412910612/Untitled.png

[rigid notch]

seems like complete is cheaper

[gray umbra]

is there a way to revert the purchase of a radiant gear?

[solemn jewel]

It should be around the same price

[hot eagle]

no

[ancient perch]

so do i just randomly craft stuff to level?

i hoenstly think buying starter+ endwalker is cheaper

[open coral]

It should be about the same unless one of the versions (Complete, Starter, or Endwalker) is on sale.

[ancient perch]

because if im not wrong , each purchase gives 1 month free sub

does it?

[open coral]

You're wrong.

[ancient perch]

im not sure

[open coral]

Only the Starter Edition or Complete Edition comes with 30 days.

Endwalker does not.

[ancient perch]

ah shame

expensive game haha

[rigid notch]

yea the diff. is only 2 sgd

[ancient perch]

2 sgd less for which?

complete?

[open coral]

Yeah, that sounds about right with adjustment for local currency.

[rigid notch]

ngl 60 usd for stormblodd -> endwalker alone is worth it for me

its like 3 whole jrpgs for the price of one

[open coral]

Yes, that's exactly what it is.

[ancient perch]

yeah but you dont get to play it unless you pay the sub

haha

[rigid notch]

see my summer vacay is coming up

you bet im doing all of it in that span

[open coral]

lol, good luck with that.

[rigid notch]

finished arr - post arr in more or less 2 weeks

i can do it

[ancient perch]

no comment on that haha , i am still on post arr

my 3rd day

xD

levellign has slowed down quite significantly

[rigid notch]

good luck

from what ive seen people either hate it or like it

[open coral]

It'll pick up again when you finish the post-ARR content.

[rigid notch]

i liked post arr story way more than arr

[ancient perch]

nice :D

[open coral]

The patch quests weren't originally designed to give xp, so what you get is a token.

[ancient perch]

tbh i thought it would go from end of ARR straighto heavensward

the continuation of the ARR storyline from teh credits screen

but i guess there is still quite a chunk left

[open coral]

Every expansion has 5 content patches-worth of content following the end of the X.0 content.

[ancient perch]

nice

[rigid notch]

yup post arr is a lot of set up

[open coral]

So after the credits you've still got a good 20 hours of content to do.

[ancient perch]

are you not gil capped?

[open coral]

And that's just MSQ

[rigid notch]

i am

[ancient perch]

im struggling to find a way to launder it now lol

[rigid notch]

i just bought like 200 glamour dispellers cos why not

[ancient perch]

feels real bad not getting any gil from quests, but dont really wanna start my subscription during free trial content

[rigid notch]

unless you really need the features not in free trial just wait until the end of hw tbh

[ancient perch]

yeah its quite alot of content

how much is the compelte edition for you?

i saw people saying theres like 60% discounts on complete edition from time to time or something

question, should i buy the alchemical reagents, or gather them?

like maple branches

[outer mural]

that question is entirely based on your personal decision of wanting to buy or save the gil

[ancient perch]

saving the gil isnt the issue because im gil capped

its more like perhaps it may be better to level gathering as well

but if its insignifcant at this point then ill just buy it

[twilit arch]

low level gathering items don't really matter so if you want to buy them from vendors feel free

but once you're past around 15 or so

you're not going to be able to buy most items from vendors

you'll either have to buy from the marketboard or gather yourself

[wind zephyr]

i wanna go try out ||hydaelyn|| extreme, can i use a duty finder for it or i need to set up party finder?

[cloud sand]

I think the later

Probably better so you can be party lead/warn people you are learning the fight

[wind zephyr]

is it possible to use duty finder for it or its gonna take ages?

[outer mural]

it's technically possilbe in the highest sense

[wind zephyr]

because im on japanese server and i dont know japanese

[outer mural]

you really shouldn't ever

i mean if you're gonna DF it on JP you're not gonna have any better luck communicating with your japanese-speaking teammates

but yeah all high-end current content, which still includes EX1 and EX2, should be PF'd and never DF'd

[wind zephyr]

i see, btw do i need to prepare all meds and food for it?

[cloud sand]

Pardon the question but, why

[wind zephyr]

im on sea

[cloud sand]

Ah

Always bring food

Only use potions/tinctures when you have learned the fight and know you can clear

[outer mural]

if you're doing high-end content you haven't done before, bring food so you can survive / do more damage

[wind zephyr]

ok

thx for the infos

[little swift]

Duty finder on jp is for farm and reclear it's not for learning the fight use party finder learn

[cloud sand]

You're welcome!

[outer mural]

i still don't ever suggest dfing reclears / farm because an organized party with starts is so much better

[wind zephyr]

i probably try my luck on linkshells first to get a english one

[outer mural]

not to mention you don't cycle in and out people who need their mounts every time

[wind zephyr]

if i couldnt get one ill try the party finder

[little swift]

It's fine on jp since it's mostly macro based

You just call your spot and the strat is listed

But since op here is new just pf

[wind zephyr]

ok

[vagrant pendant]

Is it possible to make a macro for synthesising multiple times?

[faint flare]

No

[vagrant pendant]

Daamn lol

It could be free level farming for crafters

[finite path]

I need serious help.

I know for a fact I have a registered service account, I've been playing the game quite a while but recently I switched computers. I am using the correct details and nothing out of the ordinary is appearing on my account in the mog station, yet I am met with this screen when trying to log in

[remote lintel]

did you buy the game on steam

[outer mural]

are you also using the free trial client instead of the normal client

[finite path]

On this account I bought straight from the website and I’m using the independent launcher

[finite path]

There are separate launchers? Can you give the link for the full game launcher?

[remote lintel]
