The devs don’t care about shaders tho
They don't have footage of you using shaders
Screenshots can be heavily edited and can't really be taken as evidence frequently
They cant prove you didn't use photos hop on a screenshot
Especially when most cut off the 14 watermark
What is chocobo level cap?
20
Rank 20
Ty
You have to feed it Thavnarian Onions to get it to rank up after 10 though.
and one by one 
Is there a way for me to say a pre typed message in game?
Macro
You can write a macro, or in some cases you can use the auto-translate function if the phrase is something that would be in the auto-translate dictionary.
ive heard very bad things about e8s's light rampant, but i wasnt there when it was current
how bad is bad?
Now? Not very. Then? It sucked.
It was a mechanic very early in the fight that wiped you if anyone failed
If you’re syncing it, it’ll be a similar experience
Ehh. I did it synced at the end of ShB, and it wasn't that awful. It would still wipe you, but it didn't feel particularly punishing.
it isn't a guaranteed outright team wipe if literally anyone messes up but it gets pretty close
A lot of it depends on your party knowing what they're doing.
like you can get away with a handful of people living if the mistake isn't particularly disastrous
optimally if you unsync now you just pump to skip it for both time and effort
so whatever 
its skippable now with some gamers
but if you had to do it it's not a particularly crazy mechanic, it just really checks how good people are at actually navigating their characters

Basically, it was worse when people didn't have the gear and didn't really understand how the mechanic worked.
Now, with gear and understanding, it's no worse than any other Savage mechanic.
yeah. my friend has a really bad time in PF since it needed a relatively high standard of coordination and healing
can u dc travel to access their market boards?
Yes
yeah
how
You can buy from other MBs, but you can't sell on them.
ya
DC travel isn’t a thing yet
Oh, yeah, not between DCs.
We won't know until 6.2 if you can buy on MBs on other datacenters.
is potd still recommended for leveling? I can't find a game for 60 min
they already confirmed we can
we just can't travel y et regardless
uhhhh potd is fine if your queue is that bad yeah but
Only if your queue times for leveling dungeons are longer.
you're on crystal? how are your queues that bad
What floor are you running
31-40
That’d do it
That's why your queue is bad
There you go
oh that's what you mean
51-60 is the farm floors
yeah just do dungeons for levelling man
potd is the last resort, not the prio for levelling
PotD/HoH/Bozja are just for if your queue times for dungeons are too long. If you don't have 51-60 PotD unlocked, you're still going to be better waiting out the dungeon queues instead.
is eureka worth doing for xp?
No
Eureka gives no exp
It doesn’t give exp
It literally gives 0 xp
Eureka has its own leveling system
ah thanks 🥲
Were do I get crystal clusters (for crafting) other than gathering and killing monsters? Just buy off the market?
Gathering, aetherical reduction, retainers, market
is there a faster way to travel to gold saucer directly than via airship?
Teleport
o
Retainers with quick ventures? Or is there a specific venture for that?
you get the most out of manually gathering timed nodes for crystal clusters but the issue is that they're time gated
Specific venture for gathering retainers
any dungeon recommended? or just queue for the random dungeon?
!faq altlvlguide
Highest level non-50/60/70/80
aetherial reduction is a decent way ot getting them if you were initially farming stuff from reduction anywaay
what Aura said
NEVER queue for a roulette for exp after the daily bonus has been done
ok thanks
Are Shift, Alt, & Ctrl the only keys you can start for key combinations?
They're the most common
I don't think you can combine letter/number keys, if that's what you're trying to do though.
is there a glamour channel i have some questions
Thanks, was trying to do mouse buttons with it and it didn't work
Trying to do a massive overhaul to my HUD for better extreme runs
Also It appears that three of my hotbars change when I pick a new class but the other two don't, why is that?
Hey, can I finish levequests sooner ? We did the stuff we have to do for the levequest and now we have to wait for the timer (3 minutes) to go down. Is there a way to skip that and go right to finish it ?
Do you have shared hotbars turned on?
Prob don't lol where is that setting, just under hotbar
If the timer is still going you haven't finished the objective.
We have.
Which levequest?
Get off Our Lake, in Mor Dhona
Just found it, thanks you're a life saver
A Battle one. From Twin Adder.
oh i know this one
yeah if it's the 'kill as many as you can' you just afk after the bare minimum
you can't skip it 
Sadge
havnt played in a bit but heard recently that people were getting banned for using addons im guessing it was just some of them?
Only people who were mass reported
^ streamers
Addons have always been against TOS, and people have always been banned if they were reported with evidence for using them.
Don’t say anything in game
isee
There were just some high profile bans recently because of the Ultimate race.
Because internet people are asses
lmao
guys i have posted something on glamour discusiion can u guys give your input it would be helpful
The people in #glamour-discussion can, if you have a question then come back here. Otherwise
that channel is not active
People here aren't necessarily interested in glamour content.
We're here to answer gameplay and game-related questions, mostly.
Also fashion is super subjective
And we don’t mess with subjectives here
*Usually
which is faster to get a zodiac relic or eureka one?
Probably zodiac if you haven't done any Eureka at all.
do i need to get those eureka gear before starting it?
No but it really helps
The osode/cloak makes you alot more tankier and do more damage
i see too bad its too expensive
If you plan to seriously do eureka you'll make your money back and more
you can make money in eureka?
Assuming you actually get them
Cassie earrings and stuff went for millions in the past
Massive spoilers for like everything stormblood+
||I've been sadly spoiled on bit plot points like minfillia being dead, Yda being dead and its actually her sister, paplymo dying too I think, estinen living and I think teaming up and working his stuff out with nid hog (endwalker trailer I accidentally saw) unless I am misinterpreting that scene.
Are there more/massive plot points later for me to look forward to still? I had just finished patch 3.2 where estinen chose to be a dragoon again by nidhogs command||
Ihopenotsadanddepressing
||He didn't exactly choose to be a dragoon again
||
HAHAHAHAHAH
they don't know 
grab a bucket for ye tears
I want to click that spoiler but I do t wanna be spoiled
What's the light version of dat message?
just hw and sb plot points
some are inaccurate btw
you have a lot to look forward to
Yeah trust us, there’s a TON in store for ya
I skipped to SHB and went to arr and STILL got blown away by the rest of the game
it's relating to waht you said
I'm not one to spoil future plot points, just correcting something you said with information you already have
Well thank you all! I am but ever more excited for the patches+
I had feared I spoilt most of the big plot points

Quite minor in comparison
just want to point out thats not nidhogg in the endwalker trailer
because they do not have 4 horns like nidhogg
Ooooh
Good point
I just jumped to conclusions
Ty!
Is there a commonly used discord for the Material data centre?
For people to organise events, raids, map searches and stuff like that? Or is there a channel within here I am missing
he also says their name
PF
is it recommanded to put materias on poetic gear while leveling?
You’re gonna replace the gear anyway
You can put materia on leveling gear (including Ironworks/Shire/Scaevan/Cryptlurker), but from a practical standpoint it gives you no real benefits, so it's not worth the time.
the benefit you get out of materia is basically an "every little bit we can eke out to help us clear this savage tier" situation
people probably already mentioned it but those spoilers are really tame compared to what happens in shadowbringers and endwalker
like those aren't even stormblood spoilers
they're patch 3.55 spoilers
yeah that's start of stormblood and that has a few things to go
you still have 2 expansions after that too
So where is it that everyone in this game seems to find unlimited freinds? I have 3 do I can’t really run any content
What about endgame raids and pre made crystaline conflict parties
Party finder
For savage raids?
Those are endgame raids yes
And you use the duty finder?
No, you use party finder like I just said
Then you’re not looking at party finder, because they’re filled with people recruiting for stuff
So where is party finder?
The party menu -> party finder
What's the best spell setup for BLU fate farming?
crap thats prolly too small
if im not really gonna do any endgame crafts, can i just live on 80 scrip gear at cap?
has afk kick been lifted?
Nope
And it likely never will
is it detectable or punishable though
my wife and I commonly log into each other's accounts to do random shit like gather mats 
That’d technically be account sharing
do Pomanders in PotD not go with u in a fixed party thru floors?
They do
Matched parties lose them between floor sets
we keep losing our pomanders b/w sets
do we have to be in the same world or smething? i dont know whats making it work like this
Do any jobs get unlocked at lvl 40
No
no
Ah ok lol
do u know what might be causing us to lose our pomanders
either you continued another save or someone used it when you weren't looking
or there's a bug but that's like one in a billion chance
we're starting from scratch every set
yeah then you won't have pomanders
?
it's like a roguelike, new run you start with nothing
wait, i mean like we're currently on 71-80, but we ended with 3 steels from the previous set of 61-70, and instead our inventory was emptied
Are you by any chance using Matched instead of Fixed?
Its a fixed party
Always good to make sure
where can i look on my screen to see that
On the save
Also like once you hit floor 100, you would’ve saw that you can’t proceed
do you get the field notes if you just watch the duel in bodzja?
No
ah, how do you enter one then? is it random on ppl?
either do it for a guranteed, or get lucky with the fate associated iirc
Don't get a vuln stack in the leading CE
ah
So basically don’t get hit
Then it's whoever has the highest notoriety out of the entries
thanks
Actually, how does notoriety work
You get 1 everytime you don't get picked
Whoever has highest notoriety gets in
Tied notoriety makes it rng between them
Oh so it’s basically a pity system got it
and how do you earn notoriety? if you take part in engagements and fates?
You earn it if you're in the draw for a duel and aren't picked
aha
It increases your chance to be picked for the next duel
.
so if i watch duels, and i'm lucky to not get hit in an ce then i may get it
No
hm
Watching duels has nothing to do with it
i see
If you're participating in an engagement that spawns a duel and you do well enough to be "nominated" for the duel and you don't get picked
Then Notoriety go up
allright, thanks
Does somebody know what the name of the song at 1:47 in the 5.5 trailer (https://youtu.be/mB0p0UyvS-E?t=108) is? (spoilers obv)
diamond weapon theme, look that up on google
ah I knew that I knew it from somewhere. Thx 🙂
Is Centurio toekns useful for a relic step like I think Alliance tokens is used for ARR relic?
nope
actually, you can buy some of the items with alliance tokens for the HW relic too
In The Arms of War
so how does jumping work in ffxiv
is it good bad or doesnt it matter
if you try to get in/out of aoe effects
ok cause before i heard it was bad
it doesn't matter
jumping's for vertical segments only
all snapshots are 100% vertical if that makes sense, meaning it doesn't care if you're jumping or not
and jumping does not increase or decrease speed
In addition to that, all movement abilities treat your hitbox as if it is glued to the floor, regardless of where your character physically is. Thus, if you backflip across an AoE puddle while the damage from said puddle is snapshotting, you will still take damage from the AoE despite not being in contact with the ground.
nope
Bosses are immune 99.9% of thr time
theres some weird arr boss stuff that can happen but after that they're all immune
They used to tick in ARR, but the devs realised that players could cause boss deaths during untargetable animations with ticking dots, so now they're just universally immune to all damage during those periods.
Is there a way to see which expansions i have
Account management on Mogstation
Also the title screen tells you
If it’s not showing EW, then you don’t own the other expansions
Oh ok
So do people usually put treasure map groups up on party finder? I've been trying to look for one in the past 3 days and haven't seen a single one.
If you want a group, then make a PF
That's valid, I've just never done it before so im just a lil anxious.

they do but it’s not super often
i tend to see more on the weekends
war or pal: which do i level next?
im going to be leveling them both anyway
Is there a more specific part of that question we can help you with? Because this channel really isn't geared towards general discussions about personal preference.

I'm confused on how to get level 5 petrify. e.e
It’s a somewhat low chance to learn. If you’re going for the cast in Haukke Manor, you need to wait until the last add phase during the last boss and bring the floating eye mob to low HP. It’ll only cast it when it’s HP is very low. Once it finishes the cast, you can then kill it.
It’s only a low chance if you’re not syncing
I completed The gift of mercy quest but the Bitter snow quest doesn’t appear? How do I unlock it
This mob, or i actually have to go all the way to boss?
You did all the role quests right?
He does also cast the the spell
The enemy appears during the boss fight
That’s when it casts petrify
All as in what? The last one I did was gift of mercy (WHM)
But the enemy is not killable in boss fight
all the role quests
you need to do every role quest.
it is.
The boss fight changed though, for 6.1. I'm reading that there's another sentry that can be killed before that, but I'm having trouble finding it in videos (can't logon right now to check directly)
What seriously? So I can’t progress unless I’m doing every job quest?
!quest bitter snow
role quest.
Mob is outside first boss door
Then it goes into the boss room
And it died? Or ran off?
When I did the manor dungeon's boss fight, I accidentally dodged the mechanic.
Okay then just wait for it to do the cast then
Oh well in that case just wait until it casts
Weird, in the video for the new version I just watched it still ran off to the boss room.
It's outside the first boss room not last boss
@half canopy
Oh, "first" I missed that in your previous message
Ah yea, I see it now in this video
I completed all those but bitter snow isn’t appearing
does any of the normal raid floors drop two gloves?
!faq normalloot
to get the gc loot boxes do u just need to reach the current max rank with ur gc?
yes
ok ty, i thought there was something with beating endwalker first
Question: For FFXIV ARR Sightseeing the times they posted is that Local, Eorzean, or Server Time?
Eorzean
ty
The guide likely mentioned as such at the very top
What's the best hell hound weapon design for you?
subjective
Hey all. I know this is likely a question asked constantly. However. I am new but want to play a reaper. What is the quickest way to 70 to unlock the class. I am on the double XP server
The story
Msq
pay money for a boost
the paladin one
because it's not a sword
and any weapon taht breaks the standard is good
pickaxe paladins, rise up
ty
Yes, the only requirement to play Reaper is getting another job to level 70 and doing all that without progressing the story seems like a waste of time. Maybe when you're in the 50-60 range you could think about doing roulettes to get to 70 and then go Reaper from there on out, but I would definitely just go up to HW as another class.
ok cool i am 45 already as a dragoon and got to the quest 'we come in peace'
that's correct and yeah i agree, just do the story
should get you to 70 if you also do roulettes pretty early
Yep, once you're overleveled and the main story halts at 50 for a bit, roulettes can easily get you to 70 by the time you get to Heavensward - depending on how much you play each day of course.
Once per day, yes - but once you get to 50 you get different kinds of roulettes as well.
Ah i see
So that's a pretty easy 2 levels per day or so just from those.
I have also picked up random quests that have taken me to dungeons. SHould i do them?
Free exp
Sure, unlocking more dungeons makes your queues faster and the XP is pretty good if the dungeons are level-appropriate.
Ok cool thanks
No?
hey, anyone know if lich is currently locked down due to being a "preferred" server or if it is permanent lock on new characters?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
thank you
i tried looking at the wiki an such but just thought i may have been misreading
On controller is there a way to stop showing your skill/spell/ability names when holding your triggers?
If I were to upgrade to the endwalker digital collectors edition, would I also get previous collectors edition stuff? or just endwalker's?
Only what you purchased
noted
If i have a fwend kwill lvl 90 enewies, will BLU gain extwa extwa experiewence?
So it's kinda scaled?
71+ mobs are not flagged for blue mage exp
you also have to be within a certain level range
you can't be farther than 10 below iirc
nah, you can totally be a lvl 1 blu and go to lv 70 mobs to level
Hello, I am a returning player who made a new character, and then remembered the info to my old one. Is there any way to transfer my stuff over, or am I just boned and should delete the first toon?
Just use the original character
ok i tried making a hotbar for smn stuff up to lvl 52, i have no idea if there's an element you're supposed to focus on?
It’s a cycle. Trance then use all elements in sequence. Then repeat.
... i'm going to sound really dumb, but I have no idea what trance is
oh ok
I don’t recall if there’s any particular order to worry about at that level. But yeah, just use it one by one in a cycle and repeat.
ok ty!
i'm actually lvl 70 sch but slacked on my smn quests for too long, and then endwalker came out and the whole rework messed me up
summoner has been reworked into the easiest job in the game
without a doubt
so shouldn't take long to figure it out
I can't wait for next expansion to just make it hitting the same button over and over
your general order is Titan>Garuda>Ifrit or Garuda>Titan>Ifrit depending on party buffs
Though you can always adjust as needed for movement
I’ve got a question about aglaia loot
So i did it once and didnt get any armor but it says 2/3 rewards
I got the minion and one of the cards
Yes
Cool thx guys 😁
Is thee an efficient way to level a botanist, aside from the Diadem?
Diadem doesn't feel really efficient either in level 78 anymore
Even with the survival manual and exp foods
it's just manual labor or leve spam
Haven't dont Crystarium anything, really. where are those located? Also ngl never figured out how collectables work nor where to find the corresponding level ones.
the crystalline mean in the crystarium
thanks
Are those hell hound weps gonna stay for the whole 6.1-6.x?
hellhound weapons are always going to be available, yes
Wow that's nice, thanks☺️
Only thing going away that I know of is the arch fiend set in 6.3ish
We don't know the full specifics on thatbyet
Hi, is there a chance some servers not accepting new characters might accept them if I wait one day or should I just start on another one cause I'll have to wait too much?

Where is the last quest aether current? That last blue is a beast tribe quest
use your compass
Show your current menu, specifically for sea of clouds
Isn’t that one in the Pillars near Fortemps Manor?
The fk... Why did they put it over there. :/
Some are like that
Because you’d be around there during the story, so if you didn’t grab it…
i just came back to the game and had to relink my steam account to my ff14 account, is that normal
oh i got it working thanks
Does getting to max reputation with special deliveries actually give anything other than glamour? I seem to be getting the same scrip rewards regardless of the satisfaction
A reliable source of scrips with the chance for bonuses every week. Otherwise that’s about it. Although one level 80 client gives you a mount.
There’s the 2 bonus items each week
Up to Level 30 Arcanist going for Summoner... i might have missed it and looking how to move forward, people have a carbuncle already as topaz out instead of the low level one and not for the attack, ... is there something I should be doing?
they glamoured it
Egi glam is lvl 50
They just synced down
I think the unlock for that is still at level 50? Yeah
There’s an unlock quest later that lets you choose what your normal pet looks like.
Only the egis just so you know
And the various carbuncles as well
Done all of them now ;-;
Just letting them know before they come back with “How do I glam lvl 70, lvl80 and lvl 90 summons”
Long way away from that, just trying to get to summoner (missing I had try and take out the nails and the spirit things when trying to get ifrit egi)
Where can I see the bonus items?
Ctrl U
Custom deliveries
I just see there the 12 weekly allowances
Click on it, then look at what the clients want
But which ones are the bonus?
None of my clients have that
And how many are maxed?
1
its only for the npcs that are maxed, and only if you've been maxed before the weekly reset
where do i find these
Okay that's good to know then. The wiki doesn't mention it.
What's max lvl fishing now? Haven't played in ages. Thinking about starting back up soon.
90
Noice, ty
Gotta own EndWalker of course
Guess I'll have some leves to do lol
Just ocean fish
sprites only spawn when appropriate weather is active. i.e ice sprites only spawn when there's blizzard, etc. you can use !faq eureakmaps to find the various maps that show where things spawn

Ty all
Also if you’re gonna use it for a personal thing, #kupo-bot-spam
Is there a difference in the option to take a dungeon with NPCs vs other players?
not really
main difference is that trusts dungeons are going to take roughly 30mins every time
Less loot too iirc
I believe trust loot still applies
But it does balance out since you're not competing for it
how easy is bahamut with unsynced help? should i look up mechanics or will I not even see them?
You'll figure out dive bombs...
Yeah you still need to deal with dive bombs even on lvl 90
Divebombs can easily be dealt with by running right up to Bahamut
Stand in center > wait for marker on head > run to Bahamut
Dual twintania/bahamut dive bombs though
They both target you when you're solo unsync
Nah you’ll be fine with my method
So long you know how to handle dive bombs, yeah
Being knocked into the death wall is still a wipe at lvl 90 
Which is why I gave a quick and easy strat
and wynne gave the easiest way of dealing with it
I’m testing it right now too, only Bahamut dive hits unless twintania is directly opposite of bahamut
Oooh nice
I decided to return to the game after my friends ditched it, but I know truly nobody now and I want to join a server that has a ton of socialization, a ton of RP(both regular and erp), and where I may find a FC to call home (: any advice on servers? Still new to the game even tho I'm returning
I'm a bit nervous coming back to the game, since I played it with friends but they left it as soon as we beat the base game, I literally was SOOOO in love with the game and really want to keep playing after we stopped a few months ago, I'm nervous since like I'm going in alone this time and I want to join a new server, my main focus is socialization, venues that ppl set up such as bars and clubs and restraunts, and most of all finding ppl that I can befriend and call a virtual family with or without a FC (: I heard Crystal or Primal data center is the go to for this but want to see what the consensus was since I still know very little about the game
Just pick any of them, I guess you’re a RP person by that family comment
So do Crystal
hi all, is there an option that will allow me to hover over a buff/debuff to see what it is? right now, i hover and it doesnt show me what it is.
Can Thavnairian scale powder be traded?
no
it doesn't matter what DC you pick
all DCs have people to interact with
if at all possible, just find your old character and play them
there's no reason to start from scratch
while it's true crystal is considered the RP-focused datacenter, datacenter travel happens in a few months and it's not going to matter anymore
and RP venues exist in all datacenters
Okay I'll do that, good point thank you(: also do you know any discords where they list social events that are happening? I was in one but can't find it again
just look at party finder
Those are done in game if anywhere
it's full of adverts
i'm not aware of any discords but there's an in-game party finder system that tells you plenty
It should just be on by default/can’t be toggled. Maybe your MSQ UI is overlapping your buffs to not let you read them?
You can use the virtual mouse system (L1+R3) to emulate a mouse cursor with the right-stick and L2/R2
Are you using the ps4 controller? The touch pad works like a touch pad on laptops, you can use it to move the in game mouse to hover over buffs/debuffs
if you want top 10 population, not accurate though
looks like anemos suspender
thanks
How does one farm poetic efficiently

I'm using a PS4 controller on laptop. I can use the mousepad and a mouse appears but when I hover over the status affect it doesn't actually tell me what it is?
there's a setting where you can just press select

how do you vacant a apartment but it tells me unable to execute command from outside
I'm not on my comp atm, so can't take a screenshot

Is there anyone else having problems with the launcher? I'm opening the game on PS4, but it can't connect even though I'm connected to the internet.
Any ideas on where / the option is?
Have you tried rebooting the ps4?
I'm not on my comp, you need to find it yourself
I'll try
Lol ok
Character Config > UI settings > Display Pop-up Help
Restarting the PS4 didn't work, so I guess I gotta try other things
Reboot the modem?
Might be a problem with PSN itself
Go under the ps4 settings and reconnect/test your internet connections?
Yeah, I went to the browser and not even that worked
oh I thought he meant that setting where you can press select and switch your buff window
I remember there's one setting that you need to tick
Disconnect and reconnect to the internet on the ps4 itself
I'll try this
Is the internet working on other devices?
Yes
Guess the problem was my router. Reset it and it works now for some reason.
But still, thanks for all the suggestions!
what's the version of tomorrow and tomorrow called with no lady and piano instead
use ethernet connection for gaming
you are wasting your money on internet if you use wifi for gaming
not using it's full potential
well, at least try to be close to it so it's more stable :-)
Live with family atm and ethernet is in unaccessable area, so that's not an option
Yeah, I know.
I find rebooting the router seems to work the best when internet on the ps4 spazzes out, yeah
Fellow ping hell player 🤝

Hey, I had to reinstall my Windows 11. FFXIV worked perfect before. Now though, I'm having really, really bad "lag" ONLY in FFXIV. I use an ability and 5 seconds later, it uses it.

Final Fantasy XIV 5.1 Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quest 10

I checked, there are no other things downloading. Windows update is up to date and just checked packet loss. 100 received/sent, 0 lost.
nothing too bad in thumbnail but still
let me double check death unto dawn's oST
yeah, seems like just random choir thrown in front of TomNTom
it could be released later
like we didn't get nowhere and everywhere until like fairly late
so
even more later?
it's a bit late already, but endwalker stuff probably takes priority
I mean adding a choir in front of tomntom and adding it into the same soundtrack as the original tomntom looks a bit lazy probably
they want to avoid that to ruin the quality, and doesn't make it lazy, releasing it later alongside other soundtrack cd
well
the track really starts form 3:07
so there is a string part
before the choir and tnt
i think it's track worthy
oh well, looking forward to it i spose, sad that things take a while even though the track itself is done
highly doubt it tbh
but i guess categorising, get clean cuts and releasing on a lot of platforms takes time
its more likely its just one of those tracks that just didn't get added for w/e reason
and not necessarily because it was "lower" quality
are there any prereqs for the lvl 70 poetic gear for reaper? like do i have to beat stormblood?
gotcha. so should i just chill on the base stuff rn while im working through storm blood? its already pretty tuned up for the msq content im pushing.. was just curious if there was anything else between the base gear and poetics worth getting
From lvl 70 onwards, you can only access poetics gear after you finish the base expansion
Just gear using msq coffers and dungeon drops
That's more than enough until you start doing patch content
Technically the only expansion where you have access to the poetics gear before the end of the X.0 for the expansion is Heavensward.
so it tells me this message
Don't think it works like that
!status Zurvan
its weird it doesnt tell you how its full
log in, and select the materia datacenter
Change your DC to materia first
DC?
I've got a eternal bonding question. GF and I wanna get married in game. She wants the mount but I've already got it. Do we still need to pay 40? or just 20 for her?
Datacenter
you need to still pay 40
20 each
You'd both have to buy the same package.
if you get the cheap package for yourself, it will lower to the cheap package
So you'd both need to buy the package with the mount.
what does the mount look like I am curious
So I cant buy the cheap one and she buys the 20 dolla rone?
No
Wedding theme 2 seated chocobro
Doesn't matter. Like Kael said, it will automatically default your ceremony package to the lower of the two.
The cash shop page even says that
@patent citrus so I click on data center at the menu right?
Yes. Data Center, then choose Materia.
ok thank you
after the change of daily MSQ, is it still worth to do it for leveling?
also wonder what happen to my main after the transfer?
doing all of your daily roulettes is never a bad thing
wdym
You’re moving it to the other world
^ ye not much happens outside of that, you just get untethered from stuff like housing if you have it
i found it
weird I see my 2nd character when I transfer
don't offer to share music files here
oh I see why I didnt click on the yes but oh well I might as well wait 3 days
Only frontline is worth doing again after the daily bonus
MSQ roulette is still great exp/tomes
Just less exp due to less time spent
Yeah, it's more on par with leveling or Alliance roulette instead of being more than double.
🤔 so just do it once, if i didnt do the dailies for the exp yet?
thanks
doing dailies help you get exp and more rewards
That sounds more like an issue for #952326072542847016
But it likely has something to do with the way you have your system set up to display fullscreen windows on your monitors.
Not with the game itself.
My emote menu has a green dot on one of the tabs indicating a new emote.
But when I scroll through it there are no new ones.
you probably just missed it
There’s a lot of emotes
What BLU spells has blind? (Except Ink jet, since that's out of my reach a bit atm)
Bad Breath
Can that get reflected back to me?
By?
Okay if you’re doing masked carnival, just wait until you have more spells
I don't think waitings a solution on that. o.o
It is
It’s not going anywhere
You don't have to do Masked Carnivale at all outside of the ones required for the job quests.
And the more spells, the easier of a time you’ll have
It's significantly easier to get BLU max level, then just go and get the spells you need.
iirc, you only actually need to clear 5 Carnivale stages other than the two special stages for the job quests.
i did masked carnivale after getting every spell outside of it
and just demolished everything

If you're high enough level to do carnival, you're high enough level to get Ink Jet.
I think bad breath can be reflected, but I'm not positive. It's not hard to get (overworld morlbols), so you can grab it and try it.
Both Ink Jet and Bad Breath are magical attacks, so reflect will work on them
For reflective Rebecca I just use sharpened knife and sonic boom for spam gcd
They don't have complicated mech
If you want to make it as simple as possible
Does anyone here know how can I improve the evaluation in Crystarium Botanist leves?
It has evaluation bonus but I don't know how to reach it, with each "stroke" only giving me 5
How long would it take for me to lvl up a job from 64 to 80, since I want to play EW as a different job
and what would be the most efficient method
!faq altlvlguide
Also it depends. Queues, challenge log, whether you use tribes, preorder earring, WT, all factors into how much exp you’re getting
anyone know why I keep getting kicked out of Crystal Zalera? server side?
You gather the item that’s a higher level for more points
You need to use abilities to increase yield and chance but that needs gear
If you’re too high above the leve’s level, that can also reduce the point gain
can u use eureka for leveling?
no
is potd still viable for exp in 60s?
No
do hoh
so the only way for me to lvl from 60-70 is dungeons then
i need to do potd to unlock hoh
which would be inefficient if I won't get anything out of potd
Dungeons still exist
that's why I was asking if that was my only way
You can go from floor 1-100 in less than a day, just make a party or something
just returning to the game and was wondering if i could switch grand companies?
After ranking up to 2nd Lieutenant you can swap to another GC
ahh okay
It also costs 20k after the first swap
Just finished stormblood quest, MSQ but i was wondering…how long until I officially start shadowbringers? Because i heard there is a post story after stormblood too?
just like heavensword was
Oh ok
Do I need to get all the other ones first or something? I still have one outstanding on the moon.
Higher elevation
what's the name of the final role quest again
the one after you do them all
or rather where is it in radz
nvm i think i found it
Bitter Snow
Do I just need to move fast
Its always stand on 3 move to 1
3 to 1, ok
ID the first and third slice that appears.
Then depending on your strat; yall stay put either at the 1 you just dodged to, or move back to N/S stacks
Storm of asphodelos yes
Theres 2x pizza
Then a spread/stack in between the 2
Afterwards is the storm
Followed by the appearance of the dark twister
Puddle baits
Knocback > spread/stack
When does the bird indicate spread/stack for that last part?
I always seem to miss it
Around the time it spawns puddles?
During the puddle baits
I've searched all elevations. Plus, I saw a screenshot of someone standing in this exact spot on top of a sightseeing log.
Ahh, okay, tyty
So you got to pay attention while going around
This shows it on the bridge
Yes, I am no realizing that screenshot I saw was taken at a very weird angle. ~.~
F
Looks like she's standing at ground level.
location
also spoiler image 
At least I can say I got to the "you need to die" phase of the fight
What do you get when you achieve crystal in pvp?
Same thing as the other ranks, rank-specific rewards when the season ends
And crystal is your gateway to the top 100 for those portrait stuff
what does the custom/others mean?
Target filters
Character Config > control settings > filters
Lets you pick and choose what you can tab target
ahh makes sense
DNC and GNB and RPR and SGE all don't have UWU or UCoB weapons right?
nope

Didn’t exist back then
So no weapon
Not yet
Can you buy gil
No
Pretty much no
The job boosts and story skips have Gil attached to them
But it’s only 300k/500k depending on the thing
Ah
And the story basically gives you 2m over the course of completing it
More if you keep up with daily roulettes and completing the challenge log
but spending irl money for gil directly, is A) gonna get you banned
and B) gonna get you banned
Dang that sucks
the game doesn't have much of an in game expense for gil anyways
the largest gil drain is housing and even then its purposefully limited
assuming you do your daily roulettes or content you'll be gil positive more often than not
There’s crafted gear for endgame, but the prices for those are only expensive in like the first month or so of a new raid tier
Basically all of the pieces, at least on Gilgamesh, hover around 40k-60k
And as a reference point; most of the Daily Roulettes give around 15k if you’re the role in need and have the daily bonus available
I just wanted the Rebel coat and wanted to do it the easy way lol
there's treasure maps
i mean the "easy way" is craft it yourself
Roulette is also easy way, spam and spam
I’m still new would it be hard to craft it?
it's a lvl 80 recipe, and we have lvl 90 gear
no, assuming you have a crafter at 80
Oof
If you are this new, the effort needed to craft it yourself just overwhelming, better to just accumulate gil and buy it
can anyone shares a red mage hotbar, thx
Should you wall-to-wall tank for low level dungeons (like lvl 15)?
Ok just groups at a time?
So big pulls are more of a trouble usually
I generally do big pulls past the level 44 dungeon since all jobs have spammable AoE by that point
Ok ty!
Is there a date for the update when the endwalker beast tribes are added ?
No
Not yet. If previous releases indicate, however, it should be within the next week or two.
has it been confirmed what 3 tribes we’ll get?
We only know the one, as that’s all they said was getting added in .15
||Arkasodara is confirmed. 2nd is speculated to be Loporits, and the 3rd is speculated to be the Omicrons because there was a story about starting a cafe in UT||
Loporits are not confirmed, there hasn’t been anything about that
They're not?
wait only 1 tribe is coming in .15?
||loporites could be linked to omicron with how the smileton sidequest went||
The twitter must've been misunderstood then
||https://twitter.com/ff_xiv_en/status/1393386955866624001?lang=en||
Yeah that’s not a conformation
Remember the nu mou were advertised at fanfest too, and guess who wasn’t a tribe
They’ve only told us about the matanga tribe quests
Anyone got a paladin pvp controller hot bar setup i can use?
No, just mess around in the wolf den
Figure out what works, there’s only like 8 buttons
Where do I get lvl 80-81 FSH gear?
The scrip gear is at any scrip exchange
And that’s all you should need
81 gear can be bought from vendors
80 gear is scrip gear or crafted 80 gear from MB
I'm looking to gear my FSH retainer, so it doesn't have to be top of the line IIRC
if you're not in a hurry, you can just do quick ventures to 90 and gear him then
Well I wanna be able to do the 81 ventures for the minions, so rather gear them for that at least.
then vendor gear should be fine
They only need 1 stat (perception I think) at 1500-something so it's not a big deal. I'll check vendor then, thanks. Is it in Crystarium?
Oh ofc!
Each gear piece is like 45k each
Ýeah if I got any scrips left over I'll mix and match. Not bothered by gil cost tbh.
Hi, if I create a character on a non preferred server and then play in the preferred server will i get double exp? Or is it just if I create the chara there?
You have to start on the preferred server
Nope, only to new world(materia DC)
you only get the EXP buff if you CREATE a character on a NEW or PREFERRED server
Oof, do you think I should use the double exp for the first time in the game or choose a server I know there are more FCs I'm interested in?
double exp is pretty big, though i’m not sure what you mean by the latter statement
most worlds don’t have any specific type of fcs that are more prominent than the others
the buff isnt rly needed so i would go to the world with the fc I'm interested in
Personally, I'd recommend going for a preferred server since cross world play makes it easier to play with friends regardless of FC
also entirely contextual. if you already have friends in an FC then i get it, but i agree with industrial
you could always swap to the fc server later
can’t do the same for the exp world
Btw is that doubling ALL exp or just monsters and such? I mean dailiy bonuses and others that aren't affected by food. They still double that?
yes
its one of the few sources which affect ALL exp rewards
not most or select sources
But the lodestone said transfer to new world still give road to 80, that was changed already?
It doesn’t
lodestone never said that
it’s never worked like that even if it apparently said it
On the materia DC open page it says that
As a new player it's easy to overrate double XP though even if can be pretty useful - realize that it will mostly help you level alternate jobs. It won't help you get to endgame any faster.
yes, for CREATING a character
As is standard
Basically I mean that there is a certain server that has a lot of my language FC lol
But now that I think about it since I can speak english pretty well idk if it's necessary to do that
So I'll probably go for the double exp
Last question (sorry) does it last 90 days from the day I create the character?
oh, so it is.
NEW WORLDS
@ocean sonnet meant to tag you there. 😉
Yes ofc, I know this and have no interest in creating one on Materia, but was just curious.
Not preferred ones
That's what he said, Pratai.
My bad, Imperator. Usually New and Preferred benefits are the same.
Nah, i afraid they stop giving the bonus as well cus materia is like 4 months old, double check for assurance
They’re still new worlds for now, so until that changes
I do think the New status will be around for a while. OCE will definitely be underpopulated for a while since most of the people there are already entrenched on JP servers, or play on NA
Oh I see
But I'll probably NEED to level other jobs cause I'll reach the cap (I'm on free trial) much faster than normally right?
You don't need to
You don’t need to, no
but it makes it easier yes
I mean, to not waste exp
Still don’t need to
Sure - if you plan on playing multiple jobs then it's a good idea to start early to not waste xp.
Regardless, even doing dungeons will be significantly faster
Just saying, if you're the kind of player that just plays a single job at endgame then the XP boost won't do a lot. You still need to get through the story and XP won't help you do that faster.
plus, HW means that you can unlock and level an HW job by the time you get there since Patch Quests don't give a significant amount of EXP even with the buff
Back to the question, what DC are you looking at anyway
If you are on free trial, the best practice for that bonus is DoL, DoH, they dont get the normal armoury bonus. But they are best to level up together, which gonna be a chore rather than an enjoyment
I didn't think about DoH/DoL, they get double exp too? If yes I could use that (I would like to level up them sooner or later)
What's DC?
Data center
Also, i never try but can free trial transfer though, even new world cost no fee, one of the condition i remember is to have active sub, and no way they can achieve that
Oh, I'll play on Light (EU)
No, I do not believe Free Trial can transfer worlds due to the active subscription requirement.
you can’t transfer if you have road to 80 active either
So it's still there huh, but hey you are free trial, creating new character is not that bad
Btw thanks a lot for the advices guys
any big implications? i dont want to devote myself to ala mhigo cuz i wanna do my own thing, although i want to still help and be friends with widdy
No
saying no just makes him say" i pray you will change ur mind" and then it asks me again 😭
you literally cant say no
But it has no big implications, it’s just like the other guild text boxes
ah ok
the game does a good job of saying "this is an actual decision" when it happens
which is like, twice
and never in msq
ahh i see
also, it says on websites that ill unlock flying in the main base game areas when i do the quest, that still the same?
not gonna bother if i have to do the aether current thing for these areas
This quest no, you get it from beating 2.0
