[dry belfry]

is there a gallery of all relic weapons for all expansions?

[lyric rapids]

how do i unlock the Spring Bottoms at the fashion report vendor?

[raven sage]

600 cumulative points from fashion report

[fringe reef]

is the loathsome memories guaranteed in bozdja engagements for shb relics? and is it all 3 zones or just the first?

[faint flare]

Guaranteed 5 from castrum

Don't think it's guaranteed from regular CEs but a high drop rate

[fringe reef]

so nothing drops there only castrum?

ah

[lyric rapids]

so 6 weeks in a row of 100 points?

[faint flare]

Yes

[raven sage]

if you want to do it like that

It's just total overall so it's up to you

[fringe reef]

where is castrum again? not in zadnor right?

[lyric rapids]

where can i see my points?

[faint flare]

Bojza

[raven sage]

You would need to keep track yourself

[fringe reef]

are these not the same?

[faint flare]

No

[crystal bluff]

No

[faint flare]

Two different zones

[fringe reef]

The Bozjan Southern Front than?

[faint flare]

That's bojza yes

[fringe reef]

okey ty

[lyric rapids]

does anyone have FFXIV discord streaming broken? like the stream only works if i alt tab from the game its so weird

and this problem is only with FFXIV

[leaden ginkgo]

What material should i melt on Augmented Classical Hoplomachus gear, Classical gear sword and then rings bracelets etc ilvl 590 for DRK?

[hot eagle]

Infos from the Balance Discord Item Level
· affects Strength and Weapon Damage (for weapons)
· significantly affects all damage dealt
· prioritize over substat type
Critical Hit
· priority meld on all gear (unless already capped on that piece)
Skill Speed
· meld only to reach preferred GCD speed
Direct Hit Rate
· meld remaining slots (filler stat)
Determination
· sometimes used in a small number of slots due to tiering
Tenacity
· rarely melded due to weak scaling

[leaden ginkgo]

And how do i know how many of X material should i meld?

except Critical Hit since it's written

[remote lintel]

you meld until you cant

[hallow fern]

does this game have controller support?

[remote lintel]

yes

[hallow fern]

is it good?

[remote lintel]

yes

[hallow fern]

great

[remote lintel]

this game was originally released on console only

then ported to pc

[faint flare]

many high end raiders even prefer controller

[hallow fern]

is ffxiv still available on the ps3?

[heavy wadi]

no

[faint flare]

no

[remote lintel]

no

[hallow fern]

it would be ridiculous

[faint flare]

it wouldnt run like any stormblood and onwards content

[hallow fern]

i just launched the free trial for the first time, and its not letting me change my resolution

[leaden ginkgo]

Yea but how many of each, like 6 of skill speed and etc etc

[hallow fern]

borderless windowed btw

[remote lintel]

you meld until you cap the stat out

[faint flare]

it says it's stat caps on the meld window

[remote lintel]

then you pick the next one

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks!!!

[leaden ginkgo]

what stat is for
· affects Strength and Weapon Damage (for weapons)
· significantly affects all damage dealt
· prioritize over substat type

[remote lintel]

ilvl

[green grail]

it should default to your native resolution, like most games with borderless

[hallow fern]

it was automatically at 720p

my native res is 1080p

i fixed it by setting it to windowed, changing the resolution, and then back to borderless

[obtuse aspen]

anyone know where the manderville quest start location is in shadowbringers?

[regal pawn]

Doesn't have one

SHB didn't have a Mando quest

[obtuse aspen]

aww

[boreal storm]

Not yet anyway

[regal pawn]

We're getting the next chapter soon though

It'll most likely start somewhere in the crystarium

[boreal storm]

It was mentioned in the patch notes

[old ivy]

Anyone got a nice Story Summery/Recap of Stormblood (4.0)? i am about to start 4.1 but didnt play for some time and wanna get back into the story.

[warm snow]

Next chapter in 6.15 will be in lakeland from what we can tell

We don't have a start point yet tho

[boreal storm]

You can just rewatch the cutscenes in an inn

[hallow fern]

can i change my character's appearance after creation?

[warm snow]

I can answer that, for money

Although you did get a freebie for finishing the base games story

[jovial quarry]

You can unlock a hair stylist, who lets you make minor edits. There are also appearance change potions that are in the cash shop. You get one for free in the main story.

[hallow fern]

specifically hair and eye colors

[boreal storm]

Fantasias are a full redo, they cost real money

[remote lintel]

you can change hair for gil

you need a fantasia for eye

[boreal storm]

Yeah eyes are a Fanta thing

[warm snow]

Hair for in game cash, eyes are part of a full char change

[hallow fern]

sigh i guess i gotta go back and change the colors, at least i didn't finish creating him yet

[old ivy]

if anyone has a nice summary let me know of stormblood (4.0)

[boreal storm]

I just told you to rewatch the cutscenes

[hallow fern]

i'm at the class category, i want to make a primarily dps and secondarily tank character who wields two handed swords, which class should i pick?

[remote lintel]

there is no sub class

youre either a tank, dps or healer

[warm snow]

Waaaaaaay too much to cover in a small paragraph

[hallow fern]

then dps

[boreal storm]

There’s no dual wielding Tanks

[remote lintel]

only ninja dual wields

and it uses daggers

[warm snow]

You can play all the classes on one character,so your initial job doesn't mean much

!whoami

[hallow fern]

two handed swords as in a single greatsword

for instance

[warm snow]

That would be dark knight

[remote lintel]

dark knight but its a tank

[boreal storm]

That’s DRK

[warm snow]

And is not available til you hit the first expansion

[boreal storm]

Also requires reaching Heavensward, yeah

[hallow fern]

:(

[remote lintel]

otherwise samurai is the only dps that uses a 2 handed sword

which is a katana

[warm snow]

Unless you pay for a boost

And samurai isn't available on free trial

[hallow fern]

god dammit lmao

[boreal storm]

You can’t even buy boosts on trial, because that defeats the point

[remote lintel]

i mean you can play marauder which uses a 2 handed axe

[hallow fern]

i guess i'll go for gladiator for now and recreate my char when i buy the game

[remote lintel]

kinda close but eh

[heavy wadi]

you can play every job on the same character.

[warm snow]

@hallow fern If dark knight is your goal, go gladiator or marauder, they're the starter tanks

[remote lintel]

you dont need to recreate your character

just pick up another class when you buy the game

[boreal storm]

^ one character with every job in the game

[warm snow]

@hallow fern this is my character, I'm level 90 on all jobs

[hallow fern]

i kinda want a tank but it's lame to depend on other people to do the damage

[remote lintel]

tanks do damage

[warm snow]

Everyone's a dps

[boreal storm]

All jobs do

[remote lintel]

tank and healer damage is very respectable

[warm snow]

How focused your job is on dps is dependent on your role

[boreal storm]

Tanks literally have to attack to keep aggro up, if you aren’t doing that you’re griefing

[warm snow]

Tank and healer don't get complicated rotations but they're also expected to dps

[hallow fern]

i'd like to get close to the best of both worlds, but if i had to prioritise one it'd be dps

[warm snow]

Tanks basically dps non stop

But they don't do as much as an actual dps

[remote lintel]

then just look at all the starter jobs and pick one you like

[hallow fern]

i guess i'll go for a gladiator for now and work towards dark knight

[remote lintel]

whichever aesthetic you want

[warm snow]

The irony

Gladiator becomes paladin

[outer mural]

tank's never a bad pick for a start imho

[boreal storm]

If you stop liking one, just move to another

[robust crow]

if you want a tank that plays like a DPS, try gunbreaker

[boreal storm]

Trial

[warm snow]

Free trial

And character creation

[robust crow]

they can look forward to it

[hallow fern]

so what should i pick if i want to move to dark knight?

[remote lintel]

they want the drk sword

any of them

[outer mural]

it doesn't matter

[remote lintel]

drk doesnt have a class requirement

[outer mural]

you can pick any class and then just go to DRK later

[hallow fern]

oh

[warm snow]

Doesn't matter, paladins are holy knights which is why its funny

Holy Knight into dark knight

[hallow fern]

oh that's what you meant lmao

[boreal storm]

Knowing how to play a tank beforehand helps

[outer mural]

tank will get you necessary experience if you don't wanna pick up a tank that starts at a higher level as your first time tanking

[hallow fern]

well i specifically made my character to look sort of evil

[remote lintel]

i mean drk starts at 30 so its not really that hard

[warm snow]

5 bucks says au ra

[outer mural]

yeah it doesn't matter but i'm just saying if people wanna ease into it

[oak lily]

Drk is just edgy

[hallow fern]

its not that hard to guess, it's the only somewhat evil looking class

[hallow fern]

get a dark skin color, red details and boom ready

[warm snow]

Clearly haven't looked at the lalafells

[hallow fern]

perfect

[boreal storm]

I mean if you want the evil aesthetic, the axe class exists

[remote lintel]

warriors arent evil

[hallow fern]

aren't those the tiny guys?

[warm snow]

Gremlins

[oak lily]

You’d be surprised

[crystal bluff]

Tiny, but full of hatred

[outer mural]

on the spectrum of evil, we have Dark Knight, Reaper, Marauder, Black Mage and arguably Samurai

[hallow fern]

so do you want me to go back and choose the axe class?

[warm snow]

Short people are geographically closer to hell

[warm snow]

It's up to you

[outer mural]

i mena they're just suggesting it if you want the evil aesthetic

[boreal storm]

It’s your game not mine

[remote lintel]

warriors unlock a "berserk" mode at higher levels where their eyes glow red

[hallow fern]

my eyes glow red already

[warm snow]

WE DON'T PAY YOUR SUB REEEEEEE

[outer mural]

honestly this game has a lot of freedom about your class / aesthetic choices so I personally would recommend keeping an open mind about what you want your final aesthetic will be

[remote lintel]

i mean just pick them all up 4head

problem solved

[outer mural]

i think sticking to just one is limiting your potential fun imho

[hallow fern]

i am certain i want an evil looking guy in dark, unnecessarily large armor with red glowing decorations

[remote lintel]

dont we all

[crystal bluff]

You can honestly make any class look like that

[warm snow]

This is the warrior effect

[remote lintel]

you look like the woke meme

[outer mural]

[warm snow]

It's not me

Am catboi

[hallow fern]

lmfao

tru

[warm snow]

You saw my character

[hallow fern]

so marauder for the evil look?

[boreal storm]

If you want to

[remote lintel]

whatever you want

[warm snow]

Up to you, you can make a character look how you want

[hallow fern]

i don't know what i want lol

[remote lintel]

then pick warrior and if you dont like it then switch

[boreal storm]

So just pick something

[outer mural]

if you want a class with more brutality and red edgy effeects then go for it

[hallow fern]

i do

[outer mural]

paladin's the only other tank and it's, well, a paladin

[hallow fern]

then its settled

[oak lily]

Meanwhile me, the whm main

[remote lintel]

you underestimate the power of glam

[hallow fern]

oh what, the first mmo i've played that asks for forename and surname instead of just a single character name

[oak lily]

It’s important

[hallow fern]

quandale dingle it is

[remote lintel]

my whm

[warm snow]

Youre only really limited by your creativity

My reaper glam

[hallow fern]

that looks like an evil priest / necromancer

[remote lintel]

thats the point

[old ivy]

I tried Harry Potter when i started but too bad i couldnt get the name xD

[warm snow]

My dark Knight glam

[oak lily]

Then there’s me

[old ivy]

@warm snowThats not a Dark Knight , thats a Holy Knight

[warm snow]

Nope

[hallow fern]

will other players see my character name or my ID?

[outer mural]

yes

[boreal storm]

Character name

[hallow fern]

hmm so i must be careful with what i choose

[warm snow]

Character Name yes, Id is a different thing

[boreal storm]

So if you make something dumb and or suggestive

[hallow fern]

ristorante pizza lmao

[remote lintel]

just dont use a ToS name

[outer mural]

you could probably even do Purple Guy if you really wanted to

[hallow fern]

i would but not long after i'd end up regretting it

[warm snow]

Ppl with offensive names will get thrown in gm gaol and forced to change it

[hallow fern]

i don't use offensive names ever

[warm snow]

Well, my surname in game is Sa cuz I couldn't come up with one

[remote lintel]

i see a hrothgar named small tiny around town sometimes

[hallow fern]

i'm going to be completely unoriginal and name my character after sparda from devil may cry

he looks more like nero but that sounds too stereotypical

[remote lintel]

au ra
dark knight
sparda

[outer mural]

there is a vergil samurai mod if you really care

[lucid cloak]

name yourself Vergil DevilMayCry

[remote lintel]

its all coming together

[hallow fern]

game has mod support?

[lucid cloak]

boom, done

[warm snow]

Xvx_sparda_xvX DMC

[outer mural]

yeah, sorta under the counter though

[boreal storm]

Not “officially”

[hallow fern]

i'm not going to include dmc in the name

[outer mural]

it's a 'don't show dont' tell' sorta deal

John DevilMayCry

[hallow fern]

i can live with that

[lucid cloak]

Johnte Devil

[old ivy]

If they find out you banned though

[warm snow]

Names are unique to a world so you might have to get creative

[faint flare]

!faq xivlauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

Do note that this program, like ACT, is technically against TOS. Treat it like Fight Club, and don't be rude while using it.

[old ivy]

so use at own risk

[warm snow]

And/or cringey

[remote lintel]

i think you should just play the game for a bit before delving into modding it

[outer mural]

or just make elaborate lore for your character

[hallow fern]

i wasn't planning to mod it at any point really

the only mods i've used on an mmorpg are QOL addons for elder scrolls online, which are officially supported

oh lol what a coincidence, sparda was also known as the legendary dark knight

[warm snow]

3rd party tools and mods are against tos, communities in a bit of a tizzy as se is starting to crack down on ppl streaming with tools and mods on

[bronze smelt]

Hi, please. I just got armor nd weapons about garo event and i dont know what i must do exactly with title.. Because when i look to trophies the wins doesnt count it.

[warm snow]

Talk to the priest

And also it has to be the real deal

Not the dollar store versions from the saucer

[bronze smelt]

I did, and i tried add title to adventure plate but it doesnt work too

[warm snow]

You equip the title to your character

[outer mural]

you don't add the title to your plate, you put on the title onto your character from the reputation option in the menu

[remote lintel]

you need to equip it from the character window

and then win pvp matches

[outer mural]

sorry, just profile

[remote lintel]

your name is actually ristorante pizza

[outer mural]

yes

[onyx kiln]

will the game say you are close to a vista even if that one isnt active atm?

[warm snow]

Still not the dumbest/cringes name I've seen

[warm snow]

Yes

[bronze smelt]

oh ok, thank you very much didnt know it about the profile

[boreal storm]

The PvP profile lets you swap titles too
Like on the main page

[warm snow]

You can also macro title changes

[outer mural]

any of the makai titles work

[warm snow]

So I've a title associated with all my jobs

Cuz I made transformation macros

[bronze smelt]

anyway i have here title garo Echoes of golden wolf is that right?

[outer mural]

yeah i think those count

[bronze smelt]

ok thanks

[hallow fern]

i am still at the character name section 💀

[robust crow]

just name yourself Filthy Frank and be done with it

[hallow fern]

if i wanted something stupid i'd just go with quandale dingle

[remote lintel]

John Heroman

or just google "cool fantasy names"

[jovial quarry]

Hit the auto name generator a couple times and change the first name to something you want. That’s how I did it lol

[crystal bluff]

Mr. Finalfantasy

[hallow fern]

i literally tried and it gave me shit like "bob herbert" 💀

[robust crow]

wtf fantasy name generator did you use

[hallow fern]

i even visited 2-3 websites for that

the first 3 that popped up

[old ivy]

Iam Purple

use that

xD

[boreal storm]

Did you not do a FF14 name generator

[robust crow]

anyway if you aren't already aware, each race has naming guidelines for a "canon" name

what race did you pick?

[remote lintel]

hes au ra

[hallow fern]

how would i know that a ffxiv name generator exists

[old ivy]

@hallow fernGoogle.com

[remote lintel]

i doubt he wants a mongolian name tho

[robust crow]

https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/au-ra-names.php

[outer mural]

scrimblo bimblo

[hallow fern]

hang on a sec i'd swear i've seen "au ra" somewhere before

oh right i remember

theres a musical artist called au/ra

[boreal storm]

Because you picked that for your race

[remote lintel]

au ra is pronounced ow-rah

[robust crow]

that site even separates the names by au Ra tribe

top 5 are Raen names, bottom 5 are Xaela names

[hallow fern]

why do they all sound japanese

the names

[warm snow]

The au ra are based on nomadic Mongolian tribes

[old ivy]

Au ra Is Mongolian tribe

based around

[remote lintel]

the white scaled au ra have japanese names, the black scaled au ra have mongolian names

[boreal storm]

Raen names are Japanese
Xaela are Mongolian + tribe

[old ivy]

Everybody knows that a true Au Ra is only Xaela 😛

[robust crow]

I mentioned already that every race in FF has canon naming conventions

[remote lintel]

except in thavnair where they have indian ish names

[robust crow]

which is why you see many miqote have an apostrophe in their name

like Y'shtola

[remote lintel]

he hasnt started the game yet lmao

[pure zenith]

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/63112

[barren granite]

is she a bard ?

[pure zenith]

heres the guide

[robust crow]

I knew about Y'shtola before I started the game

she's the face of FFXIV

[pure zenith]

Au Ra is a race, Xaela is a sub category

[hallow fern]

i'm tired of thinking, i'll just hit the dice button until i get something good

[warm snow]

You can always change it later

for money

[boreal storm]

The random name there goes by the naming conventions, so that really doesn’t much

[pure zenith]

@hallow fern heres the naming conventions if you just want to read whatever section is for the race you chose

[barren granite]

excellent idea !!

[cursive ridge]

will 6.2 introduce DOH/DOL gear that is basically a catch-up to Pactmaker pentameld? or will it be strictly better

[warm snow]

I think so

[hallow fern]

💀

[warm snow]

And no it won't

[warm snow]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[cursive ridge]

so pactmaker will last us until at least 6.3?

[warm snow]

Yes

[hallow fern]

great so now i have to go all the way back and choose a different world

[cursive ridge]

cool

[warm snow]

You can save your created character and come back later

It's peak hours in Europe atm

And yanks will be getting busy soon too

[hallow fern]

how can i tell in which worlds i can create a character?

[warm snow]

#kupo-bot-spam !worldstatus

[barren granite]

[warm snow]

!worldstatus lich

!status lich

[zinc orbit]

Information

Lich is currently Online
This server is currently: Preferred
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

[warm snow]

There we go

So yeah, play with that in the bot channel

[hallow fern]

alright i guess

[barren granite]

peak time in Europe is 5 - 10pm ?

... ish

[robust crow]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

just use this page lol

don't need to go play with the bot

[barren granite]

@robust crow Thanks

[hallow fern]

i never expected to start playing an mmo this old, and still have a queue to enter

[robust crow]

it is currently the world's most popular mmo

[hallow fern]

i am surprised at how healthy the population of this game is, or how small the servers are. probably the former

[robust crow]

and probably the least predatory

[hallow fern]

good to hear 👍

[robust crow]

there's no money gacha, loot boxes, or paid progression

nor is there an unhealthy necessary grind

[warm snow]

I mean we have in game loot boxes, but not for anything important

[robust crow]

usually when loot boxes are viewed in a negative light, it's because they're paid

[barren granite]

• cool seasonals

[robust crow]

people don't usually care about free loot boxes

truly free ones

[barren granite]

heh

[warm snow]

@hallow fern oh yeah since you asked about the cash shop earlier.

Old seasonal events(Christmas, game anniversary, Halloween, Easter etc etc etc.) go on the cash shop.

We get new shit from these events every year as a result

[hallow fern]

never have i ever spent this much time in character creation in any game

at least it's out of the way now

[warm snow]

You'll get a free full character redo at the end of the base games story

[robust crow]

endgame is easy to get into as well, you literally just purchase a cheap armor set off the marketboard and boom, you're ready to go

[warm snow]

If you ever change your mind the first hit is free...

[robust crow]

don't want to spend in game money? spend less than a few hours farming out a set from random bosses

no need to grind up gear and shit

[hallow fern]

literally PERFECT, that's what i want

[hallow fern]

i wouldn't mind that at all either

[warm snow]

There's grindy stuff in side content

[robust crow]

well the biggest gate for any new player ends up being individual skill and comfort

[warm snow]

But no mandatory grind

[robust crow]

in FFXIV

it's never gear or time

[barren granite]

my biggest gate is what color to pick today 😄

[vital ruin]

how does drg gain first minds focus for wyrm thrust in pvp?

[robust crow]

use backflip

that's how

[vital ruin]

o

[robust crow]

a strong burst combo is
prep backflip
max range WW thrust -> jump -> roll face across keyboard

either they die or they guard

[vital ruin]

o nice

[urban grotto]

is the nier raid still available?

[robust crow]

yes

[urban grotto]

siiick

[robust crow]

it's permanent content

[outer mural]

you could even save wyrmwind for picking off retreating enemies by
backflip into enemies -> do regular damage abilites -> when they are running away, use wymwind since it increases with ore distance between

[boreal storm]

All duties other than unreals are permanent

[vital ruin]

i c i c

[warm snow]

And event fates/duties

[robust crow]

in my entire experience getting to crystal I don't think I've ever once wanted to backflip into a group of enemies...

[warm snow]

Like haunted House at halloween

[robust crow]

jump, sure, but not backflip

[warm snow]

Or that byakko fate last Chinese New years

[robust crow]

you need a way out if you're going in that deep

[outer mural]

what would be the difference? both are effective gapclosers
unles

yeah that's what i figured

it definitely works out better in frontline where your team can hold the line

[oak lily]

Nastrond is stronger the further away you are anyways

[robust crow]

what? no it isn't

[vital ruin]

wait u can actually summon bahamut now in pvp. damn

[robust crow]

it's stronger the lower your target's health is

[oak lily]

One of them is

[robust crow]

WW thrust is the one that gets stronger by distance

the one we were talking about that requires backflip prep

[hallow fern]

can i pause cutscenes or will it just skip them

[oak lily]

!pvpaction Nastrond

[zinc orbit]

**Nastrond** : DRG (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 4,000 to all enemies in a straight line before you.
Potency increases up to 8,000 as the target's HP decreases, reaching its maximum value when the target has 50% HP or less.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Life of the Dragon.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

Powered by XIVAPI

[robust crow]

it will skip but you can pseudo pause by stopping dialogue

[warm snow]

Depends on the cutscene

[robust crow]

press tab and turn off dialogue auto progress

[warm snow]

If there's dialogue you can usually just not advance it but that's not always the case

[robust crow]

err space

not tab

[warm snow]

Top face button on controller

[urban grotto]

i hear people complain about the Nier Raid, why is that?

[robust crow]

who complains?

lol

[warm snow]

Story wasn't great

[barren granite]

is this the backflip ?

[urban grotto]

ah ok

[oak lily]

It’s more Drakengard than Nier

[warm snow]

That's about my biggest issue

[robust crow]

yes

[barren granite]

👍🏼

[robust crow]

the raids themselves are fantastic and have great glams

the story is pretty shoehorned

[warm snow]

The last raid is also pretty long

[heady gate]

Allow friends how 2 use fantasia?

[warm snow]

Drink, strip, log out

[pure zenith]

the story requires like some decent drakengard/nier knowledge to get some of it

[boreal storm]

Not really no

[oak lily]

Has a cute hat glam

[warm snow]

Even with that it's just not amazing

[robust crow]

is this ERP or fantasia

[warm snow]

Yes

[crystal bluff]

It's a regular Friday night in limsa

[heady gate]

Ty!

[urban grotto]

im not really interested in the story I'm more interested in the glamour

[warm snow]

A glam with 2b thigh highs, how original

[urban grotto]

i suppose I recalled the disdain for the Nier collab incorrectly

[oak lily]

Third raid’s caster/healer sets are the Twins’ clothes

[urban grotto]

oh wow

[warm snow]

The 2b glam specifically gives you a bigger ass

[urban grotto]

im using the boots too.

[warm snow]

Only gear in the game that does that

So yeah it's popular

🙄

[oak lily]

The legs specifically on females

[urban grotto]

female?

[warm snow]

Excuse you, I rock those thigh highs

[urban grotto]

yeah my characters a dude

[oak lily]

That was my reaper glam for a while

[boreal storm]

Cool, you can still rock the 2b dress

[urban grotto]

nice.

but that's not what I'm going to do

although it's good to know that

[white sedge]

Your character is technically magically getting shorter when you wear high heels

[urban grotto]

bruh I made my M'iqote as short as possible

so it gets even shorter?

[dense hound]

yes

[warm snow]

Technically

[crystal bluff]

Yes

[warm snow]

Cuz you're the same height but with heels

[urban grotto]

nice.

[white sedge]

Your overall height doesn't change with the heels, your legs just get magically shorter to fit the heels

[outer mural]

it's very technical, you end up being the same height your character actualy is but your feet / legs get adjusted to maintain that

[urban grotto]

the legendary shortest catboy?

i thought it was a myth!

[barren granite]

that algo must be working OT to calc. that !\

[full surge]

I still dont understand some of the victory conditions for crystalline conflict. How does a team lose before overtime when it isnt even at the end goal? The crystal was even on the enemy side.

[urban grotto]

i think they got farther on your side then you did on theirs

[full surge]

What percentage determines it tho? I could be wrong but i think overtime was still like a minute away

[boreal storm]

Did you pass the check point?
Because the bars on the top show the most progress each team made

[heavy wadi]

if no one on your team was on the crystal when the timer lapsed then it didn't go into overtime

[boreal storm]

That too

[loud heron]

can someone from aether gilgamesh fly me somewhere? i need help getting the last aether current

[tepid heart]

Is there a way to gpose with Bosses?

[boreal storm]

Not that kind of help chat
And either way you could just shout in game or just go yourself

[wintry chasm]

Not really unless you want to use something like concept matrix to change models of stuff around?

Least, if you want to gpose within boss aggro range

[raven bolt]

how braindead is memoria ex now

[unreal stream]

Ok I do have a question that's about etiquette, are there any do's and don'ts new players should be aware of?

[boreal storm]

Just don’t be a dick, plain and simple

[crystal bluff]

I mean
Aside from obviously don't be toxic in chat
People are generally more friendly towards sprouts and willing to help out/peovide tips

[warm snow]

Be willing take advice is the only one I'd give to newbies in particular

[wintry chasm]

You'd probably have to do mechanics since it's only an expansion old but it was never really the hardest thing ever?

[open coral]

Ask if someone would be receptive to advice rather than just giving it.

[old ivy]

Anyone got a Stormblood(4.0) Summary Recap for story? cant really find one that doesnt spoil 4.1

[warm snow]

Watch the cutscenes

[boreal storm]

Dude, I’ve told you twice already
WATCH CUTSCENES

[open coral]

People are more likely to say "sure, give me advice" if you ask rather than just say "hey you were doing this wrong"

[unreal stream]

You'd think that would go without saying wouldn't you. 😕 Is there a lot of toxicity?

[warm snow]

Not reallt

[heavy wadi]

no

[boreal storm]

It’s the internet

[heavy wadi]

but nonetheless it is the internet

[open coral]

No. Because people respect the social contract more in this game than most other places.

[warm snow]

You get marked as a newbie, we call you a sprout

[boreal storm]

Always gonna have a few bad eggs

[old ivy]

@warm snow in the inn you mean

[warm snow]

But there's always a risk

[warm snow]

Yes

[open coral]

You'll find more toxicity in endgame than during early game.

[old ivy]

@warm snowyeah maybe ill do that but just a recap with the important bits takes less time haha

[crystal bluff]

I've been playing on and off for like 2 years now
There's like, two times I can think of where someone was openly toxic in a dungeon

[open coral]

Because people start feeling superior when they've got a few level 90s under their belts.

[unreal stream]

Thank you, I will try to approach people. I've been kind of introvert while I get used to the mechanics

[warm snow]

Not if it doesn't exist and you spend hours asking the same question

[remote lintel]

nobody really cares if its casual content

the only toxicity ive had in casual content was a tank who refused to take advice and didnt know how to play his job

[open coral]

In that case, the reverse is something good for you: ask for advice. Tell people you're new and let them know you're open to suggestions on how to improve.

[unreal stream]

Thank you so much

[warm snow]

You'll be able to play the story duties for the base game with all npcs who will show where to go for mechanics

[open coral]

Saying "hey, I'm new" at the beginning of a dungeon will go a LONG way towards people being kinder.

[boreal storm]

And even with other players, they’ll explain stuff if you ask

[unreal stream]

Thank you 😊

[old ivy]

@warm snowVery True indeed

[barren granite]

also ask to add them to friend list and viola .. now you have some cool players that want to help you 😄

[urban grotto]

can I do a lvl 70 dungeon unsynced at lvl 80?

[oak lily]

maybe

[warm snow]

Yes

[urban grotto]

i mean solo

[warm snow]

If you don't suck

[oak lily]

depends on the dungeon a bit

and job

[urban grotto]

i did it solo at lvl 90 as reaper, trying to do it as NIN so I can get job specific loot

[barren granite]

you can yes, but some mechanics need more then 1 to be successful

[warm snow]

None of the 70s have any kind of mech that should be capable of Killing most 80s

[boreal storm]

You don’t get the free loot from cap dungeons

[urban grotto]

wdym?

[heavy wadi]

you don't get a guaranteed piece at the end from level cap dungeons

so it doesn't matter what job you run

[urban grotto]

ohhhh

so just do it normally?

[warm snow]

Do it as whatever job you want it means nada

[boreal storm]

Unsync it because that’s faster

[warm snow]

For level cap

[heavy wadi]

do it as any job unsync and then you can desynth or expert delivery gear you don't want

[urban grotto]

gotcha

[old ivy]

Is there a way to play all cutscenes in the inn without going back

xd

[warm snow]

No

[old ivy]

that sucks

[hallow fern]

there's so many sidequests in this game, can i just ignore them for now and do them after i'm done with the main story or will they go away?

[remote lintel]

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

[hallow fern]

that's not what i asked

[heavy wadi]

they don't go away

and are purely for flavor

they don't give enough exp to bother

[hallow fern]

great, thank you

[warm snow]

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/4dgmnpH.jpg

[warm snow]

@hallow fern this is a final fantasy game first, mmo second

[hallow fern]

i'll only do them for bragging rights

[warm snow]

All you NEED is what's on the tracker

[hallow fern]

i've never played a final fantasy game before

[warm snow]

What's at 2 is higher priority than what's at one

[heavy wadi]

jusst

focus on the main story

[warm snow]

Story based single player rpgs

So literally EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[hallow fern]

i can understand that

[old ivy]

But the story is 20/10

[warm snow]

Although admittedly slow burn and build up at times

[old ivy]

True True

[hallow fern]

yeah i've never heard anyone say anything other than how amazing it is

[warm snow]

Better than a lot of the other mainline ff games

Although they have had the benefit of telling a continuous story over a decade

[hallow fern]

during the ps5 game showcase, ffxvi looked amazing

[oak lily]

same team btw

[old ivy]

FFXV was good aswell imo

[warm snow]

The ff14 producer is heading 16

[warm snow]

Not really

[hallow fern]

wdym same team

[oak lily]

and Koji is working on it

[hallow fern]

oh

i got it

[oak lily]

CBU3, the section of SE that makes ff14, is making ff16

[warm snow]

@hallow fern here's a history lesson if you'd like something interesting

https://youtu.be/aWIrju3F6nU

[warm snow]

Still doesn't mean the same team, especially since an mmo and a single player offline jrpg are very different projects to work on

[hallow fern]

i must say that the first few minutes of this game were boring

i am not going to give it up yet, its far too early

[warm snow]

You're basically in a tutorial from level 1-15

[hallow fern]

makes sense

[warm snow]

Story hits its first peak around 20 then there's ups and downs from 20-50 then the post 50 content gets admittedly pretty slow and picks up just in time for the first expansion

[boreal storm]

You haven’t even hit the “mmo” portion of the game honestly

[hallow fern]

i didn't think i would in the first like hour of playing

[old ivy]

@hallow fernmake that 3 hours or so

[oak lily]

first dungeon isn't until msq 15

[old ivy]

yeah that takes what 3 hours or so i think maybe more

idk long time ago

xd

[hallow fern]

3 hours isnt much

[old ivy]

i mean long time ago for me to remember

[hallow fern]

i understood, i'm saying that 3 hours isn't a long time in an mmorpg

[old ivy]

Well this is a full blown story game first indeed and a mmo second as others said. So expect lots of cutscenes and reading story bits. I really dont reccomend skipping cutscenes. Read quest text and such because skipping it like i did in my first playtorugh made me understand nothing and quit the game

[hallow fern]

i wasn't planning to skip the story

but i am not very fond of having to read text bubbles

[old ivy]

it can be boring at times i had a few moments

well you need to reach many stuff because not all cutscenes are voiced

;p

[hallow fern]

i realized

[old ivy]

and i mean alot of reading

😛

[remote lintel]

they start voice acting more stuff after the base game since they got a bigger budget

[old ivy]

FFXIV can feel like a book at times

but still alot of stuff is just reading

only the major cutscnes are voiced

[hallow fern]

that sounds lame as hell
but for people to rate such a game so highly must mean it's damn worth it

[old ivy]

nothing wrong with reading

[remote lintel]

its a jrpg what did you expect

[warm snow]

It is, if you watch that video I linked you, you'll see how fucked the games development was

[hallow fern]

i have limited experience with jrpgs

[remote lintel]

they have a LOT of dialogue

a lot

[warm snow]

It's kinda shocking how that it's gotten so good

[old ivy]

But yeah if you dont like reading in games to understand the story

then ffxiv is not for you i can tell you that 😛

[remote lintel]

ff16 will most likely be very story heavy too

[hallow fern]

i don't like it but i'll do it if i have to

[old ivy]

@warm snowThats called perseverance

[gritty oracle]

On Omega, it says "entry period in progress", but housing isn't supposed to unlock until the 16th. Is this a bug?

[warm snow]

Imo it's worth it

[warm snow]

#lodestone-news-na

And wait for an update

[hallow fern]

i think i'll just complete the free trial and then decide if the story is worth paying attention to from there on

[old ivy]

Free trial is VERY long haha xd

[hallow fern]

maybe i'll make up my mind before then

[remote lintel]

the trial includes the base game and first expansion

[hallow fern]

i have until december

that's when my birthday is
and i can choose to get this game as a gift

a subscription is not something i can get everyday

so i must be absolutely sure i want it by then

[warm snow]

Well there's a Shitton of content in the free trial to play with so have fun

[hallow fern]

thank you

probs is that i also have other games distracting me like zenith the last city and elder scrolls online

[remote lintel]

you can take breaks from this game

the content doesnt go anywhere

[hallow fern]

no, ffxiv is the only game i can't take a break from

because i have to make up my mind before december, and after i get it, paying for the subscription and not playing is almost like i'm scamming myself

[remote lintel]

just unsub and then resub?

[hallow fern]

that's the problem, i can't

[old ivy]

i dont really understand

[sleek needle]

Why wouldn't you be able to?

[hallow fern]

i can't just ask my parents to cancel and start the sub every month

[heavy wadi]

it's... monthly

[old ivy]

really dont understand the issue here

[remote lintel]

you pay by month

[oak lily]

I mean I finished ARR and HW in a month

[hallow fern]

let me rephrase

[oak lily]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

90 days/3 months = $41.97
180 days/6 months = $77.94

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/iPm8PE2.png

[oak lily]

or

[warm snow]

Dudes a teenager relying on parents for sub if he gets the game

[oak lily]

!faq subpriceeu

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

90 days/3 months = £25.17 / €35.97
180 days/6 months = £46.14 / €65.94

[hallow fern]

basically this, i don't need to rephrase

i wish i didn't have to rely on my parents for it

[oak lily]

life is life, be happy you get this chance

[hallow fern]

but not only do i not have a job, i also don't have a credit/debit card / paypal

[hallow fern]

i am not entirely sure what you're telling me

[oak lily]

I'm 22, enjoy being a kid while you can

[old ivy]

im 27 and wished i could go back to my 16th year 😛

[remote lintel]

idk your situation but you could just ask them to hold off on sub if you really want to play something else

[oak lily]

free trial is hundreds of hours of content

[hollow inlet]

Is the zonureskin map soloable at level 90?

[warm snow]

Portal still syncs you but if you're good at something with a load of self sustain like pld or war, just about

[heady gate]

Allow, is there anyway to get dye's cheaper? Or only by Market Board?

[oak lily]

which ones

[boreal storm]

Not really no

[heady gate]

Uhm normal ones

Can I craft them/farm them?

[boreal storm]

You can craft some with pigments but like why do that, it really isn’t that big a cost

[heady gate]

Aaah alright ty

[warm snow]

So dyes are exclusive to certain tribes

Some stop ignoring those

[sleek needle]

Just wanted to add that quite a few can be bought off normal npcs for like 40-300 gil (just check if the dye has a shop price, that's not restricted)

[sonic surge]

Hey guys, I'm trying to unlock the The Minstrel's Ballad: Shinryu's Domain... i followed the video in youtube, it was pretty straightforward, matched my screen with theirs--all good. NO MORE dialog from the Wandering Minstrel, went to my duty finder and I still do not have that trial anywhere (regular OR high end).

(I'm a level 90 with no more MSQ left to do in the entire game up to this point.)

The only high end trials for stormblood i have are: The Jade Stoa and Hells Kier.

[obsidian patio]

Did you story boost?

[hot eagle]

did you use a story skip? If yeah you need to do the royal menagerie first

[sonic surge]

Yes it was boosted last year in Shadowbringers.

[warm snow]

You need to beat OG before you get ex

[obsidian patio]

Yeah the trials aren’t ticked as completed due to the story skip

[hot eagle]

so yeah run royal menagerie which is the normal version first

[twilit arch]

while the story skip flags the instances as complete

you have not actually completed the instance yourself

so you need to do that first

[warm snow]

That's also why you don't have susanoo or lakshmi exs

Which the minstrel gives you before shinryu

[sonic surge]

Let's review. I have done this part just now.

This is him to me right now, no dialog.

[hot eagle]

yes but you need to clear the normal version first

[warm snow]

You're trying to unlock the extreme version of a fight

You have to beat the normal version first

[remote lintel]

you need to do the royal menagerie

you cant do the EX without beating the normal first

so beat the normal mode

[hot eagle]

can't unlock ex before you cleared the normal fight

[warm snow]

Nothing to review

[sonic surge]

Where is the normal one?

[twilit arch]

royal menagerie

[remote lintel]

you need to do the royal menagerie

[twilit arch]

as stated earlier

[warm snow]

.

[sonic surge]

Then how come it didnt mention that on their site?

[remote lintel]

because it doesnt take into account people who story boosted

[warm snow]

Because that's for ppl who didn't boost

[sonic surge]

Just simply go here talk to him, and presto

[remote lintel]

if you didnt story boost, yes all you need is just to talk to him

[warm snow]

Boosting has several unintended consequences

This however is probably intended

[sonic surge]

See? And some have added that in their addendum.

smh

[remote lintel]

then they would need to add that to every single duty

in the wiki

[warm snow]

🙄

[remote lintel]

and for a very small population of players

[warm snow]

All extremes assume that you've done the original first as part of their mechanical design

[scarlet harbor]

what does the sprout with crown icon mean next to a players name?

[sonic surge]

I've gathered that part of common sense, so then it adds to unlock this part, you need to speak to this guy, "see side B" etc etc...

[warm snow]

Go complain to the wiki makers then

[sonic surge]

Which i have for the rest.

[twilit arch]

this isn't the channel to complain about it, especially since we aren't the people who maintain that wiki

[sonic surge]

Alright so... THE ROYAL MENAGERIE IS THE TICKET, thank you so very much!

[twilit arch]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/w/images/6/6b/Player33_Icon.png this icon? if so it means a returning player

[scarlet harbor]

thats the one

[twilit arch]

someone who hasn't played in atleast 45 days

[tepid heart]

Question, if you were to fail a MSQ duty, does the game automatically make it easier the second try?

[warm snow]

No

[remote lintel]

no

[warm snow]

But it does give you very easy mode

[tepid heart]

Good, thanks

[warm snow]

game journalist mode

[scarlet harbor]

as in, in game time?

[remote lintel]

no

real time

[warm snow]

Real time

Hasn't played in 45+ days

Kael did a typo

[scarlet harbor]

ahh ok. makes sense

[outer bobcat]

hey all. if an item is unique, like the items from tomestones of astronomy, does it mean i cant buy two identical items for my tomestones? like the rings ?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[remote lintel]

correct

[warm snow]

Yes

[outer bobcat]

thanks

but if i upgrade the 590 ring to 600 can i then but the 590 one for tomestones ?

[twilit arch]

yes

as 590 and 600 are considered 2 different items

[outer bobcat]

ok thank you 🙂

[ebon nebula]

new player with a leaf name here. ffxiv gamers, please lend me your aid. i literally cannot use any of my attacks in story fights, i literally just auto attack and the actions are greyed out, except for the healing, stun, sprint, etc??? what do i do

[strange coral]

In this screenshot you are targeting a friendly NPC. You cannot attack them.

[ebon nebula]

oh my bad, even against enemies its the same

this started a couple story fights ago against the amaljaa and ifrit

here let me show you

[warm snow]

You can't use fists of earth, that was removed back in december

Your bootshine etc combos should be fine, provided you're in range

[strange coral]

Arm of the Destroyer (on 1) is a level 26 skill. So you can't use it when synced to level 24.

Your Bootshine is missing

[naive kraken]

need to go back into your actions and add the current skills, and remove the gray ones with the red slash through.

[warm snow]

And all combos start from bootshine on mnk/pgl

So you've removed shit

For some reason...

[sleek needle]

And add more hotbars

[ebon nebula]

yeah I have, new attacks I added

[sleek needle]

You definitely need more than 1

[warm snow]

Arm of the destroyer is aoe, its weaker than bootshine in single target

Dip out and resort your bars

[remote lintel]

go to character > actions and traits

[warm snow]

You basically NEVER remove skills from your hotbars

[ebon nebula]

Ah ok

[warm snow]

Unless they're removed from the game

As you can see with fists of earth on the bottom left

[ebon nebula]

Thank you all, I'll add em all back in. Just dont have that many side mouse buttons to press t hem all haha

[warm snow]

Then use 1,2,3 etc

Or play on controller

[sleek needle]

Read skill tool tip, there's also https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TTJQQRlcBXg if you need/want it

[remote lintel]

use ctrl and alt modifiers

[warm snow]

That's gonna be information overload, dudes not even a monk yet

[sleek needle]

He doesn't have to watch all of it

[ebon nebula]

I'll give it a look, thanks

[sleek needle]

Weskalber goes through it in phases as you lvl up, and brings up your lvling rotations

[ebon nebula]

oh i can press ctrl to use hotbar 2 actions, thats neat

thanks to whoever said that

[weary flame]

any way to get more play time for free after free trial?

[warm snow]

Free trial is a trial

[heavy wadi]

^

[warm snow]

And has unlimited duration

You don't get to go back to it

[weary flame]

oh shit

alr thank u

[warm snow]

After you upgrade to the full game

[weary flame]

can't afford it

i could only afford it once

oh i thought that said are u gonna

sorry im dumb 😭 anyways ty for help

[fathom glacier]

how do you save titles on the menu

i like the stormblood one

[boreal storm]

You can’t without a plug-in

[fathom glacier]

[vast ferry]

is there an achievment for getting all magic classes to 70

[faint flare]

Yes

There's one for each level cap

[vast ferry]

does it give items or just points

[faint flare]

Title

The "all physical/magic" achievements always give title

[boreal storm]

X of magic
X of war

[vast ferry]

also does it include blue mage since it sits in this weird position where it's a class but kinda not

[faint flare]

No

[boreal storm]

Seeing how blu 70 was added way afterwards

[vast ferry]

well i'm not exactly an expert on the games history

[boreal storm]

But the achievement also says the jobs it needs

[vast ferry]

yeah but i'd have to go through that horrible ui to find it it's far faster to ask here

[faint flare]

Can just filter for achievements that give titles

[vast ferry]

and i had no idea it gave a title when i intially asked at which point it would still be faster since i would need to log in

[boreal storm]

Ff14 collect, took less than a minute

[vast ferry]

and now i know what it's called

also i always forget that websote exists

[neon sentinel]

ff14 is working if i have directx 12 ?

[vast ferry]

i have direct x 12 and it works for me

[verbal rune]

Question about DRG rotation, do you use geirskougl before or after hi jump?

[faint flare]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/908254074565169212/919866416440692776/DRG_ew_opener.png

Before

And it remains that way

[neon sentinel]

i have 240 hz monitor s to capped my fps to 240 but game crashed after 1 h of playing suddenly, without capping fps i have like 360 fps +

but question is why

[verbal rune]

So by the 2nd time I use hi jump, I should have used geirskougl again?

[faint flare]

Yes

You're always delaying life to put it under buffs

So it's on the 60s not 30s

[verbal rune]

I see, makes sense

I always rushed to activate it

Thx

[heavy wadi]

you always want to be in life under buffs, basically

delaying life the first time means that it'll be up by the next time you can use lance charge

[verbal rune]

Understood

I'm still getting used to all the OGCD, so I keep messing stuff up, thanks again

[dreamy mesa]

need help

[pallid walrus]

helo guys is there any quick way to select some teleport portal that appear for example when you're done killing the boss in ARR AR

i find it so hard to click when there are so many ppl

[dreamy mesa]

nvm found out

[fresh jasper]

just leave using duty menu

[leaden ginkgo]

@dreamy mesaDid you register your key on the website? o.o

[dreamy mesa]

i solved it was on another psn acc

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh I see

[pallid walrus]

gonna go to the next place

not when the AR done

[dreamy mesa]

but thnx anyway☺️

[leaden ginkgo]

OH BTW. Aighe? You're on PC right?

[pallid walrus]

nvm found it

[leaden ginkgo]

Since you said click, hold X and click. Holding X ignores all players in your line of sight

It will just click through anyone and the next "object" piled under players in your way

[pallid walrus]

yeah i'm on PC

ty seraph :3

i was not aware there are such shortcuts

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, I don't know them all myself

But in big events, X + clicks saved me

[pallid walrus]

xD

[leaden ginkgo]

Try to click an object with 100 players piled on it

[pallid walrus]

yeah ahahaha

[leaden ginkgo]

PLUS mounts... PLUS pets...

[pallid walrus]

btw how to make enter as shortcut to select yes when pop up menu happen?

anyway i can do that?

[pallid walrus]

god

[leaden ginkgo]

Uhh, you would need to change the keys

[pallid walrus]

that just hassle

[leaden ginkgo]

Since enter is what activates chat

[pallid walrus]

what keybind?

[leaden ginkgo]

You would need to change the chat activator to something else.

Otherwise, you'll activate chat each time you select yes or no

Numpad 0 does that btw

Numpad 0 is "confirm" button on console

I should actually have said that first. lol

Numpad 0 also works to "ok" dialogue during cutscenes.

[pallid walrus]

ohhh

damn i don't have full keyboard

so no numpad

[leaden ginkgo]

It can also be used to click the nearest object near you

Hmmm

Then you'll have to change the keybinds.

You could change the numpad 0 keybinds to a button you actually have

[pallid walrus]

i'll just use backspace

oh wait

no

ahahahaha

alright i'm good

ty again seraph

:3

[leaden ginkgo]

No problem. :3

[pallid bluff]

what's the cheapest (material-wise) equipment to craft classical and get hannish import tokens?

[boreal storm]

It’d be easier to just turn in the exact gear you’re upgrading

[unreal stream]

Hi, sorry but what does this mean? Is it important?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, so I am looking through a guide to powerlevel my gathering (Botany is what I am working on right now) and it says I should collect items. How do I do that? I went to look up stuff like the White Oak branch and it only shows me common locations in Garland Tools

[boreal storm]

That’s just a sign of the 12

[unreal stream]

Ohh

[autumn anvil]

It's the symbol for Nymeia, one of the 12 gods.

Ok so nothing I can do with it. Just a random god glow graffiti

[leaden ginkgo]

I already did that quest

And I unlocked the Crystarium ones too

[boreal storm]

Then you know what collectibles are yeah?

[obsidian patio]

Depending on the guide you’re reading, it’s likely outdated.

[leaden ginkgo]

https://ffxivguild.com/ff14-botany-botanist-leveling-guide-a-realm-reborn/8/ is what I am reading

[obsidian patio]

You want to collect “Rarefied” versions of items found in the collectables section of the gathering log

[leaden ginkgo]

says it was updated for ShB

ahhh

So I hunt for these and I can turn them in?

[boreal storm]

Error!

No tag named dohcollect exists, Kupo!

Collectable Gathering Guide

https://guides.ffxivteamcraft.com/guide/gathering-collectable-guide

[obsidian patio]

That article is outdated

It mentions the old actions used for collecting

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, I got a new macro with newer stuff

[obsidian patio]

And white oak branch is not a collectable anymore

[leaden ginkgo]

You're looking at the 50-70 items

White Oak Log is a collectible though

[violet moat]

Hi so I was gone for like 5 months from the game, and I came back to see that most of my armor items, the ones I used to glamor with, are gone. Including the ones I’ve bought in the mog station. Only the ones I had with my retainer was kept. Is there a reason why that happened?

[leaden ginkgo]

Was it attached to a FC house?

or did you leave it in a room of a FC house?

[obsidian patio]

Equipment you have in your armoury shouldn’t randomly disappear. Try /isearch “item name here” to find them

[violet moat]

I didn’t, it was just in my inventory on my character before I left the game for a bit

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah it shouldn't just "disappear" like that. If it truly is gone, I would put a support ticket in at least

[violet moat]

I know I bought a southern sea swimsuit and I can’t find it anywhere

[robust crow]

did you try the /isearch?

[violet moat]

And that’s when I realized some of the stuff I bought was gone

I haven’t yet do I type it here or

In game

[robust crow]

in game

of course

/isearch southern returns all items in your inventory, saddlebag, retainers, dresser, etc. that has the word "southern" in it

[violet moat]

Okay let me try that rn

OMG wait ok now I think I’m dumb, could the glamour dresser be the reason why

I forgot those existed

[leaden ginkgo]

Even in the glam dresser, you can still find them with isearch

[violet moat]

Yeah I found it but I mean the physical Item itself but okay I think figured it out

Thank you guys :>

[civic kernel]

I don't know if this is a lore question or an FFXIV meme or what but when watching some FFXIV cutscenes on YouTube a lot of people made jokes about the miqo'te being scared of cucumbers, does anyone know what that's about?

[boreal storm]

It’s a cat joke

[twilit arch]

because miqo'te care cat girls

And there are dozens of gifs/videos of people putting cucumbers behind cats to scare them

[glacial isle]

Susano's card can drop from the Unsynced EX right?

[twilit arch]

yes

[glacial isle]

thx

[calm sphinx]

Im trying to do the shb relic weapon thing where i need to get two type of memory from either fates or heavenswards and stormblood alliance raids, are the chances in fates better than to alliance raids 🤔

[boreal storm]

Alliance raids can be faster because blu cheese, but if there’s people in bozja do fates

[leaden ginkgo]

So I got some collectables, where can I turn them in? Or do I have to do a quest to turn in collectables?

[zenith remnant]

The game won’t let me buy the chocococococo bird

I’ve been trying to figure this out for so long my brain hurts I have a headache lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Do the next MSQ quest and you get enough to get the bird

[zenith remnant]

I have seals it says I have almost 4000

[boreal storm]

That’s impossible

[leaden ginkgo]

At most you can only have 2000 IIRC

[zenith remnant]

I’m new idk what I’m looking at

[boreal storm]

You sure you’re looking at the current and not the cap

The number on the left

[leaden ginkgo]

you only need 300 to get the bird

[zenith remnant]

I’m looking at company seals

[boreal storm]

200

[leaden ginkgo]

ah

At any rate, have you done the blue quest for the bird?

[zenith remnant]

But it says flame seal on it so I thought this was it
