questions-and-help

[pure copper]

yea

[wind zephyr]

ok, thx for the info

[open coral]

You'll just have a harder time getting gold rating.

[vagrant pendant]

hey guys, do you know if there is any linkshell for potd? or a place where i can see if all linkshells?

[visual sandal]

what does haste do in bozja?

[warm snow]

Super skill/spell speed

[wet locust]

Any fix for this?

[hot eagle]

tried to restart your connection/pc already? or if you use a vpn turning it off or on etc.

[wet locust]

Yes I've tried that and not using any vpn

[solemn jewel]

Try the communityfinder from the lodestone

[hot eagle]

also tried restore game data?

[wet locust]

Yes

[visual sandal]

wouldn't this super screw some jobs

[alpine shadow]

Are you running windows 7?

[robust crow]

no, it's free extra substats on top of the ones you already get

even on jobs that rely on specific skill speeds, if they could get extra stats for completely free then it outweighs damage they would have lost from being at a suboptimal speed tier

[safe mauve]

Questions for the veterans and end game players, Is it still worth to start with the game?

[remote lintel]

yes?

why wouldn't it be

[pulsar field]

prob bc on some mmos of age have too many limited items and not enough people leveling and grinding old content. Prob why he asked

[warm snow]

My dude the game has never been more popular

[pulsar field]

The hardest content of the game is getting a house 👀

[misty flicker]

any tips on becoming good at chocobo racing?

[coral solar]

i think people are so used to "dead mmos" that look alive from the outside/low levels at this point that they ask this question automatically before starting anything d:

[alpine shadow]

not much skill, more about preserving stamina and making sure you are not sprinting directly behind a chocobo, try to get items from chests that most benefit you for that route, as in, you go behind a few places so you can grab that better item.

otherwise, it depends on how you feed your chocobo, and what pedigree it has

[misty flicker]

And whats a good strategy on preserving stamina? I tried with the rule of thumb that i should have as much % stamina as much % track is left

[robust crow]

a large majority of players honestly aren't even at endgame

most of the gameplay in FFXIV happens throughout the game itself

it's not a race to max level like lost ark or WoW

FFXIV has content spread throughout all its levels

[coral solar]

yeah there's always new stuff to do, from the start to the endgame, and even when you're at the endgame you probably still won't have seen everything yet

game is big boi

[leaden ginkgo]

Will I be able to fit all my actions/cooldowns on 32 slots when I reach 90? Trying to figure out if I need expand my hotbars even more and build some muscle memory

[heavy wadi]

you need 3 hotbars

[faint flare]

Jobs on average use 3 hotbars

Ranging from like 28 to 36 skills depending on job

[drifting atlas]

What lvl mission do i need to do together with my squadron to promote myself in grand company into higher lvls?

[jovial quarry]

Captain is the current highest rank. To reach it, your squadron need to complete the three flagged missions that appear, which means they need to be at least level 50, and you must also take them out to five unique command missions, dungeon runs in other words.

[faint flare]

All casts snapshots at the end of the cast

[warm snow]

The only thing snapshot Ted at the start of a cast is the target

[robust crow]

@faint flare I asked this question in #endgame-lounge yesterday and the answer is more complicated than you might think

holy's damage is delayed for like a second after the cast

if you're trying to pad your damage then you pretty much need to see the mobs still healthy as they take damage

if your cast finishes and the mobs die before you see your damage number, it's counted as overkill damage and doesn't help your log

[idle basin]

How do i get item level 70 gear? Im level 55 and just ended the realm reborn story. And a few quests open for me but some of the ask me to have average gear item level 70 and right now its like 45?

[robust crow]

spend poetics

poetics are a currency you get for numerous things, you should already have a load of them

it buys i130 gear

[idle basin]

Oh and where i can spend them? Is there a vendor in one of the cities?

[robust crow]

sundry splendors vendor in the major cities

[warm snow]

All of the starter cities

Blue bag vendors

[crystal bluff]

Should be right near the main aetheryte

[robust crow]

usually right next to the main aetheryte

[jovial quarry]

Mor Dhona has a vendor up the hill from the aetheryte as well

[warm snow]

Appear once you clear x.0 of all non current expansions

[jovial quarry]

Also your job quest should have given you a set of item level 90 armor. That should help a bit.

[idle basin]

So the blue vendor guys. Ok thanks

[warm snow]

A stormblood one will appear in kugane once you finish 4.0

For example

[idle basin]

Well somehow i only had 800 to buy a weapon but it was enough to get access to some of the dungeons that will give me more of that currency. So thanks

[warm snow]

Good sprout

Upgrading your weapon should always be your top priority

After that replace your weakest pieces

[oak lily]

also do msq roulette

gives a lot

[limber talon]

roulette?

is free trial just content limited or time limit to?

[crystal bluff]

Only content

[limber talon]

thank you

[crisp swallow]

Hello I am very new to FF 14. I just made level 50 in Dragoon and got my class armor but I was wondering where to get the relic weapon.

[oak lily]

you don't

its a long grind

[crisp swallow]

Ah. Well darn

[oak lily]

and would be quite tedious

[west bridge]

hi currently doing HW relic weapon, do i need to get this all the way to 180?

[oak lily]

yes

[west bridge]

aw

[crisp swallow]

Oh that is a lot

[oak lily]

do you have fisher leveled?

[west bridge]

no i hate fishing in any form in games

[crisp swallow]

No?

[oak lily]

well its the fastest way to get scrips

imo, at least

and Ocean Fishing powerlevels the shit out of it

[crisp swallow]

Well that sucks. The spear looked pretty sick

[oak lily]

I mean, you can get it

but it would take a while

[robust crow]

it is not the fastest way to get scrips

[crisp swallow]

Yeah I will probably try but if it is a huge grind I might just give up on it

[west bridge]

ive heard people said heavensward relics look better, and shorter grind, so thats what i did

and i do really dig the look of em

[robust crow]

there are tons and tons of ways to get scrips faster than fishing

[crisp swallow]

Ok. I will try that out and see how it goes

[alpine shadow]

heavensward relic is just a ton of poetics grind

[fossil locust]

did anyone else have problems with the duty on a diggin we will go

[alpine shadow]

doing bozja at the same time, which grants you poetics, speeds it up

[boreal storm]

Crafting/gathering scrips are definitely the quickest way

[alpine shadow]

what kind of problems?

[fossil locust]

i keep losing at the part where ||all the sin eaters are attacking exarch and the game doesnt let you pull them off of him right before the cave ||

[alpine shadow]

is it when he gets the green tether on him?

[boreal storm]

Unless you’re missing a dialogue prompt, there shouldn’t be many issues

[robust crow]

yep but I would never suggest fishing to farm scrips lol

[fossil locust]

idk i probably did miss a mechanic

[alpine shadow]

do you know how far into (minutes?)

[robust crow]

especially not for the purposes of getting relic weapon mats

[fossil locust]

theres a cutscene right before it

and ur right in front of the cave

[alpine shadow]

not sure, but you might be missing standing on a stack marker

and/if you are against that fiend in the last part of it, ||he should take a tankbuster line?||

[high tartan]

Say I have a question
When gardening, Do the plants transform into a different plant?
Me and my friend was doing gardening for the past week, We ended up doing a pattern in which supposed to yield more Jute with the help of Azeyma plants. However recently the plants ended up being more Jute plants.
I was wondering if this is supposed to happen or that one of our members decided to rip up the Azeyma plants and replaced them with more jute?

Also don't be afraid to Ping reply me please, That will be greatly appreciative.

[robust crow]

no

plants cannot morph into other plants

their seed yield is variable but the plant itself does not suddenly become a different one

someone would have to have ripped out the old plants and planted a new plant in its place

plant

[robust crow]

see above

[high tartan]

Thank you, I will now try to find the culprit behind our gardening Griefing.

[robust crow]

if you're looking for seed yield

I mentioned that's variable

so when you harvest the plants, there's a chance it can be your preferred result and a chance it's something else

you won't always get the right seed or even a seed at all when harvesting

[robust crow]

FC activity history tells you who interacted with what plants FYI

[shy kindle]

How do controller players use map? I binded M to a button on my controller but when pressed it just types m in chat

[high tartan]

Where can I check that?

[robust crow]

just pull up your FC window and look at Activity

[high tartan]

Gotcha

[old willow]

are they going to add level 50-70 dungeons to duty support? also why it's intentionally skipped?

[boreal storm]

They’re slowly adding them Over 6.x

[robust crow]

they only JUST added duty support in the latest patch

they started with the early dungeons

[jovial quarry]

If you have no windows open, hit Square.

[robust crow]

we'll see the rest of them probably later

[old willow]

there's 70 all the way to 90, but no 50-60

[narrow jay]

Duty support started in ShB at level 71. It's being retroactively added in increments. That's why there's a gap.

[old willow]

ic

[robust crow]

that is because

yeah what allamorph said

ShB started it and continues through EW from 71-90

[jovial quarry]

Next patch will add duty support, uh... support to the remaining ARR story dungeons and a couple of the HW dungeons as well.

[robust crow]

now they're going back starting from 15 and adding in the rest

[jovial quarry]

They'll continue in increments up until the launch of 7.0. By then they'll have covered every story dungeon that doesn't have that system.

[old willow]

what ilvl would be the endwakers' relick weapon?

[bitter herald]

that would depend on when we get it? i think?

[bitter herald]

based on shb's ilvls, the first relics were 485, compared to the af gear which was 430

[old willow]

was it behind the raid wepons of that time?

[bitter herald]

so, would be 615 based on those numbers

i don't know?

tier 1 of savage was 475 in shb, tier 2 was 505

[robust crow]

when the ShB relics were coming out, they were almost always worse than the equivalent currently available savage weapon

[jovial quarry]

Relic weapons are usually a few steps behind the raid weapons all the way until the very last upgrade step.

[robust crow]

they only overtook the savage weapon after the tier was already on farm

[bitter herald]

when it was fully complete, it was the best

[jovial quarry]

Which then they become BiS.

[robust crow]

notable to mention that the very last upgrade step didn't occur until months after savage came out

[jovial quarry]

They will be decent interim weapons for non-raiders and they are eventually the best but only near the end of the expansion cycle.

[old willow]

does ffix also has similar cycle? i never play other sqex mmos except ffxiv

[boreal storm]

FF9 isn’t an mmo

[remote lintel]

think they mean 11

[old willow]

ys tht one

[oak lily]

its a 20 year-old Ps2 mmo.... sooo

[half hare]

whats a good way to get into BA

[robust crow]

baldesion arsenal? see if your DC has a dedicated discord to it

[half hare]

an how would i go about looking for that

[robust crow]

easy way to check is to shout around in Hydatos

"does our DC have a BA discord"

surely if they do, you'd get a link

aether has one and they run BA at least every week, oftentimes multiple times a week

[half hare]

hopefully not to many bots are farming bunnies

[bronze smelt]

Can someone tell me please how can i add blue mage sets to hotbars? thanks

[half hare]

go into your blue mage spell book put them on active actions then onto your hot bars

[bronze smelt]

no i mean loadouts

[half hare]

just click the the icons in the active action sections top right

guessing you want to swap more ont he fly then going into the log

[bronze smelt]

i want swap builds

[pure copper]

yea thats an option in the spellbook already

[obsidian patio]

Click these

[faint flare]

You don't do anything special to add the hotbars to saved sets

They're just saved with the spell loadout automatically

[bronze smelt]

i mean i dont want go to spellbook i want change whole build by 1 click on hotbar and i dont see there is a possible.

[pure copper]

use a macro

boiuytta finihs a dungeon so i can post what i use

[obsidian patio]

Ehh, macros only do 15 actions at a time

[pure copper]

theres a bluespellbook

[obsidian patio]

Ooh, yeah I see it now

/bluespellbook preset 1

Change the 1 to the set you want to be using and it swaps to that

[bronze smelt]

ok thanks and it works same for console?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[bronze smelt]

ok thanks i try

[pure copper]

it's just the / command to access the presets in bluespellbook

so still save those how u want to use em

but do note u cant swap presets when an active skill is on CD

including rez

[bronze smelt]

it worked, thank you very much!

[frosty forge]

So, Im starting heaven sword and I’m starting to wonder, what is the end game for this game? Where wow had like weekly resets with torghast, weekly covenant quest and the like, what is it in this game?

[oak lily]

whatever you want

[frosty forge]

No like, the end game designed by the developers

[oak lily]

yeah

whatever

[boreal storm]

Level cap content which is…everything

[oak lily]

be it savage raids, ultimates, fashion

[frosty forge]

So just the stuff you can do during the rest of the game, but harder?

[jovial quarry]

There are raids and stuff to be done, sure, but it’s really up to you. End game can be whatever you make of it.

[frosty forge]

We’re not talking about the same thing

[jade quartz]

Weekly raid lockout, weekly currency capping, heaps of other stuff

No they are

[frosty forge]

You can do all that in any mmo

[jade quartz]

There are a lot of different endgame pillars

[robust crow]

there is not a defined endgame in FFXIV other than the raids

[jovial quarry]

There’s no, like, four hour prep time to run a single raid. If you want to raid, get the crew together and raid.

[jade quartz]

Yes you can also weekly raid on any mmo

[pure copper]

yeah like you have your typical endgame raiding pillar, and more socialization-focused stuff

[robust crow]

there's so much shit to do at max level that you're very unrestricted in what you want to pursue

[pure copper]

FF14 has a biiiig RP venue thing

[oak lily]

like, I'm leveling other jobs right now

[jade quartz]

There’s like

[pure copper]

not ERP (though that exists too), but just regular RP

[frosty forge]

Like, the covenant stuff in wow was designed outside of all the other stuff in the game

[jade quartz]

Weekly crafting objectives, daily faction quests and stuff

[robust crow]

like you just pointed out "mythics, raids, weekly" from WoW but that's all WoW has

[jade quartz]

Heaps of casual content only available at level cap

[robust crow]

FFXIV has several systems to pursue

[jade quartz]

There’s ranked PvP too

Like there’s a lot

[frosty forge]

Oh boy

[jade quartz]

And a lot of old content too that you can do because stuff doesn’t die in FFXIV

[oak lily]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi7pKxUpRMs

[robust crow]

you can work on eureka progression, bozja progression, endgame raiding, ultimate raiding, MINE old trials and savage tiers, hunt train focus, BLU mage raiding...

[oak lily]

might have some spoilers, but

[robust crow]

like, there's really too much to just list out

[oak lily]

here's a perspective for you

[jovial quarry]

There are rep grinds to do as well , mentioned as faction dailies, but they don’t take three years to finish and you only do them for like 10-15 minutes a day.

[jade quartz]

You can try like solo PotD (actually legit some of the hardest content in the game)

[pure copper]

deep dungeons or relics

if u want the OG MMO grind

[frosty forge]

Ok, excluding old stuff

I get that this game is old

[jade quartz]

There’s like Bozja, DRS, Ultimates

[oak lily]

nothing in FFXIV is left to rot

[jade quartz]

????????

[oak lily]

except old Diadem

[frosty forge]

What NEW stuff are they designing for endgame

[jade quartz]

Like I just said, there is no need to exclude old stuff

[oak lily]

at least from what I've heard

[jovial quarry]

More of what we said lol

[jade quartz]

And the current stuff has been explained

Idk what else you want

[jovial quarry]

They just add more every four months

[frosty forge]

Something new each week

[robust crow]

it isn't like wow where a new "endgame" comes out and the old endgame is invalidated

[jade quartz]

???

[frosty forge]

That’s what I’m asking about

[jade quartz]

Wow doesn’t have something new each week dude

[frosty forge]

Yes they do

[jade quartz]

No

No they do not

[robust crow]

ffxiv's endgame continues to grow because old content is never really gone

[frosty forge]

Did you play shadowlands?

[jade quartz]

If you mean horribly restrictive rep grinds…

[robust crow]

did YOU play shadowlands?

lmaooooo

[jade quartz]

Lmao

[oak lily]

watch the video I linked

[patent citrus]

feel free to play the game you like

no need to compare one another

[frosty forge]

Absolutely there is

[twilit arch]

wow's endgame really doesn't change weekly

[oak lily]

the producer of the game even says that its okay to step away from the game and unsub

[jade quartz]

Basically FFXIV has more varied stuff to do but also doesn’t demand you spend as much time on it.

[frosty forge]

K

[twilit arch]

weekly capped raids, torgast while its no longer weekly is largely the same, doing your weekly callings, etc

[boreal storm]

The devs want people to take breaks

[patent citrus]

yeah just play to have fun

if you don't find the game fun, just don't play it

[jade quartz]

Content is quality and comes out in regular large patches

Don’t need some unique gimmick

[pure copper]

as someone who came from aion/bns the like, FF's endgame doesnt become a chore, which is nice

and it respects your time way more lol

[west bridge]

im doing unsynched shiva ex, and im not getting the mats for making them shiny? i thought it was a 100% rate? i got one my first clear but not the 3 others

[oak lily]

Diamond Dust?

[west bridge]

ye

[oak lily]

it should always drop

[obsidian patio]

They don’t come from the coffer

It’s a direct drop from the boss itself

[west bridge]

oh maybe youre right

i have some in my inv

[narrow jay]

It goes straight into your inventory upon boss death.

[west bridge]

thought it would say in the chat though?

[oak lily]

no, its a material drop

[jade quartz]

It does higher up

[oak lily]

so it shows up in the middle

[west bridge]

B R U H

im legit the dumbest

[narrow jay]

no

there are dumber people

I assure you

[west bridge]

i hope

[robust crow]

idk man you shoulda saw the dancer in my uwu clear party a few days ago

[lyric warren]

what are people doing with these at these prices? https://i.imgur.com/F2qes5a.png

is there a way to remove housing chandeliers?

[obsidian patio]

Nope, can only use smaller/less obtrusive ones

[main yoke]

is there a prereq to doing GC hunt log #2? do I have to go in order or something?

I finished log 1, but mobs for 2 aren't counting when I kill them o_o

[pure zenith]

did you rank up in your grand company

[boreal storm]

If you can see the log, you can kill them
You absolutely sure you’re reading the enemy names right?

[main yoke]

what the heck

is the trial quest the prereq?

no it can't be

what the heck?

now the mobs are showing correctly

idk if I had to turn in the trial quest and talk to the commander...again...? to trigger it

[limber walrus]

Hey is there any way to make Limited Leveling Roulette the default setting? Lol I keep forgetting to set it

[boreal storm]

It only works with a light party, so it being a default makes no sense

[limber walrus]

oh

[narrow jay]

No, it's only active when you have a full party of four, so making it default would likely mess with the rest of the DF settings.

[limber walrus]

dang

I thought I was just getting really unlucky lol

[obsidian patio]

You can leave it on, but it only works if you have a full-premade

[limber walrus]

It keeps unchecking everytime I log off

[narrow jay]

The roulette in general is designed to help people fill for old content they need/want to get through so that newer/more casual players aren't left in the dust. The limited option was a recent addition because SE finally heard players going "if we have a full light party of all 71+ then it doesn't make sense for us to get Sastasha".

but yeah

[main yoke]

ok I was in the wrong map, staring at a mob in the same spot the correct mob would spawn in the other map, with names off by a letter 🙃 thanks

[restive yarrow]

Does anyone know if level 40 has any significance with new classes or something? a friend of mine is playing for the first time and said they got some message about it and I'm trying to figure out what it was

[patent citrus]

If you are lv 40, you should turned into Jobs already

!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

[patent citrus]

just make sure you don't have anymore of no.2 @restive yarrow

and wear the job stone given to you like what the NPC said

[restive yarrow]

yeah i know about all this, but a friend of mine is playing for the first time and said they got some message about level 40 and I'm trying to figure out what it was

[oak lily]

probably that the next job quest is unlocked

[half hare]

could just scroll up in the chat , but yh likely just hey you can do job quest and achivement

[restive yarrow]

like the genius he is he logged out

[lone timber]

Hey! So I'm moderately new to the game. I wanted to ask if there is like a community consensus on where people go for LFG for like raids and stuff. Looking to do the Bahamut raids but I am not sure if it's wise to just queue in or if there is a certain place where most people go to put groups together

[oak lily]

its better to get a carry from a higher level player for Coils

because its actually difficult content

[leaden ginkgo]

So Guildhests unlock automatically as you level, don't have to do anything special to get them?

other than the initial one

[faint flare]

They unlock as you complete the last one

[pure zenith]

for harder difficulty content you just party finder it in game

note that party finder is not the duty finder matchmaking

[lone timber]

Ah ok gotcha, thanks!

[lucid cloak]

Duty finder coils will never pop

Not even mentor roulette will drop players into coils, iirc

[lone timber]

Ah I see, ok

[warm snow]

Baha raids are different and special

There was no casual raid difficulty in arr, just high end

[pliant dawn]

Can someone give me some general sage tips ?

[lone timber]

Different as in different from all other FF14 raids? Or just from an MMO standpoint

[pure zenith]

make sure you kardia the tank

[oak lily]

different by ffxiv standards

you unlock the whole tier by default, you only need to do the last one, and there's 13 of them

[lone timber]

Oh wow interesting, ok

[half hare]

yh coils went with a kinda wow approach but less trash

[warm snow]

In all the raid series after arr, the raids were split into a normal version for story and well casual content and a high end version(savage) for challenge and the best gear for a couple major patches

[lone timber]

Aaah ok. Is the difference between casual and savage usually just harder enemies, or are there more complex mechanics?

[oak lily]

yes

[jovial quarry]

Different, harder mechanics. Sometimes with less obvious markers. Or added layers of complexity.

[warm snow]

Basically the same fight with the mechanics dialed up several notches

[obsidian patio]

And entirely new mechanics too

[warm snow]

The raid designers create the savage fights first and then remove or dial back mechanics, add cutscenes etc. For the 'normal' versions of the fights

[lone timber]

Wow very nice

[warm snow]

The final boss of each tier of the raid usually gets a second phase too

Which is usually pretty sweet

So raid tiers get released one at a time, with 4 fights, and the 4th fight usually has a secret second phase that's only in savage

[gentle prairie]

Is Materia just not a server to the bot or am I doing something wrong

[still gate]

I don't see that you're doing anything wrong

I'd mention it in #discord-feedback because Eanae actually looks in there and it's likely her that'll fix it

[twilit arch]

materia isnt a server

its a datacenter

[gentle prairie]

Oh so what's the server then

[still gate]

Kael to the rescue

[twilit arch]

these are the servers on the materia datacenter

[gentle prairie]

Ooh

[still gate]

she's so cool

[gentle prairie]

Thx now I just gotta try 5 times see what one I'm on

[boreal storm]

No? Just log in and see what the home world is

[still gate]

Bismarck

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/24603315/

[boreal storm]

Yeah like that

[gentle prairie]

How did u do the thing u just did

[tulip python]

[boreal storm]

They just looked you up on lodestone, seeing how you said the character name already in kupo spam

[tulip python]

nah that is Shue a bongo hackermans

[steep egret]

the game literally tells you what server you are on

top right of the screen when you're in game

now if you aren't on your home server, it will show different i believe, otherwise it will show a home icon
it will also show your server at the login screen at the top right, above your character name

[clever roost]

hi again, is it possible to sort the retainer by their job class?

so it will be miner, miner, then bot, bot

[patent citrus]

look at top right

there's a cogwheel

press that

[steep egret]

manual sort

[clever roost]

ooo thank you so very much!!♥

[dusk merlin]

Have they added a way to level BLU solo in the recent patches?

[faint flare]

it's still just kill overworld mobs

[dusk merlin]

Damn

[faint flare]

the 10x multipler makes it real easy

[dusk merlin]

Took me a good hour or two to get from 60-62 still

I don't really want to spend 8 hours leveling BLU lol

[leaden ginkgo]

What's the yalm range of /say chat?

[pliant dawn]

I’ve only played Scholar to lvl 56, but I’m probably gonna really try and get into White Mage or Sage. Sage seems a bit complicated, but idk.

[robust crow]

sage is easier than scholar

2nd easiest healer

[pliant dawn]

I think I’m just getting confused since all the skills are blue and look similar and there’s a lot of them

[robust crow]

was just telling my friend that the hardest thing about sage is saying the ability names right

i don't really pay that much attention to job icons

i remember the button they are on

like 4 is always my GCD AoE heal

F is class defining ability (assize, pneuma, earthly star)

[pliant dawn]

I’m controller so it’s a bit wacky

[robust crow]

R is AoE

it's the same concept

[upper cove]

What ren said. You can map your sge buttons parallel to scholar pretty well

I could send you mine if you want

[pliant dawn]

I’ve been playing tons of Samurai up to now

And sure

[upper cove]

FF14 EW UI & Controller Hotbars

https://imgur.com/a/ArQmClC

Every job of mine is inside

So go nuts

[robust crow]

sage and scholar have a ton of parallels

[stray burrow]

I just got my first tank up to lvl 50 and was about to start doing trials and alliance raids. I was wondering if anyone had some info or resources. the transition seems big?

[robust crow]

scholar is only harder because they have to deal with pet jank/eating your pet removing access to some abilities

[upper cove]

Sge have less buttons too

[leaden ginkgo]

Every time I've asked, it seems no one has known the answer to this

So I assume its widely accepted that the range is just guess work?

[upper cove]

I'd say more so the amount of different ways you can use your cooldowns

[faint flare]

Press your buttons and hit the bosss

24mans are casual as fuck

And the required trials are no harder than stuff you have already done for story

[stray burrow]

lol, ok

[faint flare]

24mans are literally just 24mans dungeons

That's it

[stray burrow]

i wasn't sure when tank swaping becomes a thing

[faint flare]

In high end content

[stray burrow]

got it, thank you

[robust crow]

the only tank swapping you do in alliance raids

is when you chad the fuckin other tanks by doing more damage than them

and they fucking voke back in desperation because they are inferior

only to lose aggro again 5 seconds later

[faint flare]

Plus any casual content that has a tank swap is extremely fucking laughable and hella ignorable with 2 braincells and cooldowns

People stopped doing the swaps in E4 and O4 in like a few hours

Cause they're pathetic

[pliant dawn]

Thanks just applied it. I’ll go into a dungeon and try it out

[obsidian patio]

i've always wanted to test this since i could NEVER find an actual image of the range of /say and /yell in game

after some testing, i am happy to report that science has been done :]

[narrow jay]

It will probably also help you to associate skills with the physical motion you have to make to press them, instead of what they look like

[astral tinsel]

Hey guys was thinking about getting this game with a friend but everywhere on reddit people are saying the MSQ is mostly singleplayer because of solo instances is this true?

[faint flare]

Yes

[twilit arch]

you can still play with your friend

[jovial quarry]

There are a few single player instances, yes, but there are also a ton of dungeons that you can run with friends

[twilit arch]

but there are moments in the msq, where you have to do a solo duty

[crystal bluff]

think of the MSQ as a standard final fantasy game

[astral tinsel]

so all of the msq will be done solo for the most part?

[near badger]

shoulda came here. this is way more helpful than other people on here giving misinformation

[faint flare]

Outside of dungeons and overworld content

[ember gull]

Can you ask spoilers in this?

[faint flare]

Tag them

[narrow jay]

You can, but you should tag them.

[ember gull]

ah ok, my main concern or argument people place is that

FF14 locks your character monthly behind a paywall, so IDK how I feel about that since I usually buy games and do 1 and finish

FF14 itself is a very good game, enjoyed it a lot and definetly has so much fun potential, so IDK what I should do from here so I like some advice

as I want to get the game

[faint flare]

You don't have to sub every month

Do what you want to do, stop then come back when more stuff is in that you want to do

The devs even encourage it

[narrow jay]

Well, first, it's not necessarily "month"; it's "30 days". Similar time frame, but because months can vary in length, it makes the subscription fee worth the same amount of play time regardless of which month it is.

[ember gull]

Like HW from there I know this game is a must buy

it's the sub fee which I guess I am not accustomed to (never had any sub fee or anything of that nature)

[narrow jay]

Second, subscriptions to play a game is not only commonplace among MMOs (see both World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic as a mere couple of examples),

[ember gull]

SWOTR has sub?

[narrow jay]

Yes.

[ember gull]

I never knew

I assumed it was 1 and bought

[narrow jay]

Nope.

[faint flare]

If you want the good stuff and access to majority of the content

[ember gull]

I perhaps am thinking of Knight of the Old Republic 2

[patent citrus]

ah, that's kotor

[ember gull]

yeah

[patent citrus]

yeah, that's a single player one

[ember gull]

mixed the 2

[narrow jay]

You could play a lot of it free, but you needed a subscription to have a crapload of f2p restrictions taken off of you and to access expansion content.

[ember gull]

But like I looked at every single MMO right? And 14 literally is the only game I can justify buying and subbing

[patent citrus]

but yeah, don't say it's a "must buy", feel free to pay when you are ready

[ember gull]

I mean I could pay now

I am waiting on a Sale

[patent citrus]

It took me like 3 months to finish ARR + HW story, lol

[ember gull]

Lol same sort of

[patent citrus]

I also purchased my complete edition when It was on sale

[ember gull]

the sales usually happen around this time too

[narrow jay]

But continuing my thought above, a subscription is also required for quite a lot of consoles as well: Xbox Live is basically mandatory if you want to do anything with friends ever, for example.

[ember gull]

I guess my given issue is the Beastribes, I want to max em out but daily allowance is pretty bad

[narrow jay]

Just Tribes now

[ember gull]

There is ways to by pass them

[narrow jay]

name will fully change officially soon

[boreal storm]

No, either do em or you don’t

[ember gull]

like I can use a friends xbox account or PSplus to play online for example

I'm saying the issues is that they take too long to max

like ARR ones

SHB were like maxed out in a week

[boreal storm]

Which is exactly why the trial is infinite

[obsidian patio]

ARR ones are the fastest if you devote all your dailies to a single tribe

[ember gull]

how about HW?

[twilit arch]

Shb tribes were definitely not maxed out in a week

[obsidian patio]

All the expansion ones take like a month or 3 weeks to hit max rank

[ember gull]

I see

so which ones are worth doing?

[boreal storm]

Yes

[ember gull]

not counting the mounts and such

[faint flare]

Whichever you want the rewards from

[ember gull]

from ARR and HW

[faint flare]

Their main use is for levelling alt jobs

[obsidian patio]

The ARR ones give crafting materials and vendor-exclusive dyes

[faint flare]

As it's fast and easy xp

[obsidian patio]

So those can help save money or sell for profit

[patent citrus]

VanuVanu gives you Hakka dance, the Dwarf give you a Panzer, and the Gnath give you the green druid outfit, I like those 3 personally

You might like a different one, storywise, they are nice

[faint flare]

Ananta have 2 mounts

[patent citrus]

Namazu and Moggle's story are popular

[faint flare]

The non combat tribes are good in general for good xp for crafting and gathering

[boreal storm]

So basically just do whatever ones you want/need to

[ember gull]

I saw this

|| https://gamerant.com/final-fantasy-14-best-worst-beast-tribes/|| for possible HW Spoilers and onwards

[boreal storm]

Ew gamerant

[faint flare]

Kekw Opinionated stuff

[twilit arch]

an extremely subjective article

that is based entirely on that person's opinion of the quest lines

[ember gull]

fair

but I will say

Ixali I don't want to do cus the crafting feels whack

[heavy wadi]

then don't do it.

[ember gull]

Amaljaa and Sylphs have been chill

[boreal storm]

Or just get better at crafting
Not my game

[ember gull]

but more tedious feeling

I guess it's valid to not do these ARR ones

HW

[remote lintel]

do i have to take everything out of my apartment storeroom before i vacate

[faint flare]

Yes

[ember gull]

Yeah

[remote lintel]

oh my god

[faint flare]

everything must be removed

[boreal storm]

Do whatever ones you want, that’s it
Validation is purely subjective

[ember gull]

Ight

it does sting that some mounts and minions can't even be bought of MB

like from Beast Tribes

[faint flare]

That would negate one of the main reasons to do the tribes

[heavy wadi]

^

[boreal storm]

Well yeah, they’re not just gonna let people take the easy way

[ember gull]

Indeed

[faint flare]

People do tribes for xp and mounts

[heavy wadi]

mmos are mmos, and they have grinds

[ember gull]

just my take on it

[faint flare]

The arr tribes are often in the moogle tome rewards

[ember gull]

Moogle Tomes?

[faint flare]

An event they run now and then at end of patches

[heavy wadi]

i feel like you should be asking this in #beginner-lounge instead, as this is more of a questions channel than what you seem to be looking for

[faint flare]

To incentives older content

[ember gull]

Ah when is next Moogle Tomes?

Cus I can clear the stuff then

[faint flare]

Who knows

[boreal storm]

When the devs say

[obsidian patio]

Usually at the tail-end of patches or low activity

[faint flare]

They could run it again for this end of Patch, they could not

[obsidian patio]

So one might happen at 6.18 or so

[faint flare]

Usually a month before the next major patch if they decide to do one

[ember gull]

another quick question is for the sub, what's the best way to secure more time, buying 60 day game cards?

say I want to buy a bulk of 30 days

[patent citrus]

!faq subpricena

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named subpricena exists, Kupo!

[patent citrus]

I use the entry sub

monthly payment, in Euro

[boreal storm]

It’s whatever you want to buy, man

[patent citrus]

not sure what's the price for USD

[boreal storm]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

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

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/E0ENgIE.png

[obsidian patio]

!faq addalias subprice subpricena

[zinc orbit]

Success!

New command alias added: subpricena to subprice, Kupo!

[boreal storm]

I only play every so many months, so entry is what I do

[ember gull]

@boreal storm say you want to get the game for a year i mean

[boreal storm]

Can’t

[obsidian patio]

180 day is the best you can do

[ember gull]

will it charge monthly 12?

[boreal storm]

Also imo, that’d be a waste if you’re not 100% sure that you’re gonna play those 6 months

[ember gull]

valid opinion

im just comparing prices and seeing when I can play and such

[obsidian patio]

90/180 are bulk purchases

You pay for it all at once

[ember gull]

ah so you pay 77 all at once

cool

yeah then it's better to get 77 sub instead of 60 (3) day game cards

Unless you playing way less then 1 60 days makes sense

[patent citrus]

up to you yeah

I don't have stats, but I reckon people just use entry sub and pay monthly

[boreal storm]

Pretty much

[remote lintel]

which npc do i talk to to buy an apartment

[faint flare]

Should be the caretaker in the lobby

One of the npcs there

[remote lintel]

oh

[stark hawk]

What's considered the hardest extreme?

Thordan?

[faint flare]

Probably thordan when it was current

[stark hawk]

I see, thank you

[robust crow]

is there anything else to get from the gold saucer event other than the emotes

[patent citrus]

mount, hairstyle, cards usually?

minion, furnitures

[robust crow]

i mean specifically from the event

not the standard rewards

[patent citrus]

I heard thathe GS furnitures probably

[boreal storm]

The actual quest only gives the emotes

[patent citrus]

afaik they are only available during the events

the one cost 500k-ish one

[ember gull]

Btw thanks everyone

[patent citrus]

If your mansion want to create a GS theme room, you might need them

[ember gull]

I think I'll get the game on sale.

Complete edition.

[upper cove]

@pliant dawn lmk how it works for you. Can dm me instead

[acoustic oar]

if im 450/450 tomes and i trade my khloes bronze certificate for 50 do i get them or no

Is there any way to bind sprint to left analog push?

[jovial quarry]

!faq sprintmacro

[zinc orbit]

Sprint is nice when macro'd

Sprint won't queue like most standard actions. Give this macro a try for slightly better responsiveness:

/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/micon Sprint```

[jovial quarry]

Do that on macro slot 98 or 99. Then in controller config, you can assign the stick buttons to use either of those macro slots.

[obsidian patio]

#glamour-discussion message

This works on all named NPCs, even in cutscenes if they speak

[sinful anvil]

thank you!

[shy kindle]

I just ended up using steam remaps

Thx though

Does anyone know how to change WXHB skills? When I go to bind an action it only lets me change my “main” cross hotbar

Double tapping LT should let me use the top bar to bind but it won’t let me

[jovial quarry]

You have to switch to the bar manually. Can't use the WXHB shortcut to assign buttons to it

[shy kindle]

Ah okay

Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm, so in order to apply materia to gear you have to level a crafting job?

[robust crow]

yes

any crafter is fine

[patent citrus]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Melding_Materia_Muchly

you can check this quest and click the previous quest

[robust crow]

but they need to be high level if you want to apply materia to endgame gear

To do it for free yeah
Otherwise go to a meld npc

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.

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[boreal storm]

Do the story, do job quests

[opaque fiber]

No way to retrieve it now?

[pure zenith]

not unless you boot up the ol pc

[vast hinge]

if you don't have your old PC no

[twilit arch]

not without booting up the other pc

[rigid notch]

is the aery good for exp?

or should i just do sohm al

[vast hinge]

highest level you can

[rigid notch]

aery it is then

[cold quarry]

Always the highest except 50/60/70/80

Well I dunno about aurum or 50 dungies though

[twilit arch]

applies there too

aurum is better than 50 dungeons

[vast hinge]

if you're a DPS, only 80-90 is better for dungeons

if you're a tank/healer, just default to highest level dungeon

[cold quarry]

Definitely gonna have a better time lvling a dps in zadnor when you can

[naive beacon]

so wtf is this login process?

whats a registration password?

you just log in, username, password, and if you set it up otp

when i tried to login it asked for a one time passwordf

so i downloaded the app

and on the app it asked for a registration password

[pure zenith]

you just had to leave the otp blank

[naive beacon]

what?

[pure zenith]

if you didnt set up otp you dont use otp

[naive beacon]

then how do i get a one time password

[rugged thicket]

you dont

[pure zenith]

you dont

you just leave it blank

[narrow jay]

You don't need to provide one.

[pure zenith]

and ignore it

[narrow jay]

It's just there in case you decided you wanted one.

[opaque fiber]

I do have it, it's be just a lot of effort to unplug my new one to plug the old one, save the settings, and then unplug the old one and plug the new one. The only thing I really care about is macros and waymarks, are waymarks also saved locally?

[narrow jay]

Put exactly zero things into that form

[pure zenith]

the field is there for those who have set up 2 factor authentication

not for you who havent

[cold quarry]

There also definitely be moments where you have to run a direction and look into another

[gloomy rapids]

uhm, you're right, I test around a bit. I'm back to WASD. I'm prefer LClick to move, but steer with mouse is clumsy

[steep egret]

It's an older style MMO like WoW, that's how they control usually.

Well even a lot of newer ones are like that

[ornate gale]

Can anyone help identify what furniture is used for the table?

i've spent like the past 30 minutes lookin for it in preview furnishings i cannot for the life of me find it

nvm

[brisk oasis]

How do you get padjali weapons

im so confused

[green grail]

run palace of the dead and open silver chests for upgrades

buy grips in exchange for removing 10 levels from your aetherpool weapon and gear

buy weapons for grips

[brisk oasis]

how many grips?

[twilit arch]

6 for padjali. derp had it right the first time but doubted X|

[boreal storm]

3 for padjal
6 more for kinna

[brisk oasis]

ah

Is this something that I can do in like a few hours or

is this gonna take months

[green grail]

probably a couple days

[narrow jay]

split the difference, then shave off some time depending on how hard you feel like hitting it

[ocean sonnet]

Hi guys, can I buy minions/mounts in ARR (need to spend guil reaching free trial limit)?

[fluid oracle]

where is the fashion chal person

[obsidian patio]

Yes, you’ll want to start working on the ARR beast tribes as those have minions/mounts you can buy with Gil.

[ocean sonnet]

@obsidian patio Thanks so much!

[brisk oasis]

should I do Potd with players or alone

[faint flare]

With players

Solo is only for the challenge and achievements

[severe dagger]

https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/product/804
so, I got a question.
in this, it says ToA: SB.
so, does this just finish SB or does it finish everything up to the point of SB?
I'm a bit confused since the title and desc only mentions shadowbringer but the product image has all 4 expansions

[boreal storm]

You skip all of shadowbringer’s story, meaning it also skips everything before that

Which the page tells you btw

[severe dagger]

ah..

i guess i missed it

so I dont have to spend $70ish and unlock/complete the previous quests and expansions?

[boreal storm]

You still have to get all the optional stuff, and level a job of course

[severe dagger]

yeah.
it's just
I've been doing story quest for past 2ish weeks
and I cant bear through it...

my friend says it does get better.
but imo I would prefer reading it on wiki of sort

[boreal storm]

Hey it’s your money, not ours. Do what ya want

[severe dagger]

alright

also

what do you mean by optional stuff?

[vast hinge]

you have to actually unlock content

is what he means

[boreal storm]

Everything not required for the story: raids, dungeons, etc

[severe dagger]

ah. yeah
that's fair
well, my friend says things will get better after ARR. So I'll bear through it for now.
thank you all for the assistance!!!

[gloomy rapids]

I'm at lv 20 and I'm notice that classes are very rigid. Does this change at late game? Or everyone with same class just play the same.

[solemn jewel]

There's only one or 2 Optimal rotations for every job

So this isn't a game with builds etc.

[modest igloo]

every class plays the same for every player. the job rotations tend to be more complex and the mechanics more difficult to achieve mastery of a job

[glossy flare]

Worth noting that lvl 20 is not a good representation of how the class will play at max level, yeah

Most jobs you can get an idea of at maybe 60?

Some earlier, some later

[gloomy rapids]

😢 I love to tinker with builds in game. I will play to 60 at least to see if I like the game despite this.

[hardy barn]

drg has extremely poor representation of the class until much later

[glossy flare]

Yeah build tinkering is just not a thing here

[modest igloo]

endgame gear is also pretty straightfoward too

[solemn jewel]

At most ur tinkering will be deciding if u want a crit or a speed build on black mage

[vast hinge]

there is very little tinkering with gear in this game

[vocal crown]

Dang I don't know what I'm doing wrong with crafting. I just can't seem to get the new Luncheon Coffer for Ameliance at the highest quality before it breaks.

[autumn anvil]

Usually the answer is that you could switch to a better rotation. Or failing that, better gear.

[vocal crown]

I was able to figure it out haha. Turns out I never used Master's Mend and it really helped this time lol

I got too dependent on Trained Finesse

[gloomy rapids]

What is the best way to lv other jobs when I have cleared all the quests available? I'm doing the purple quests thing

[vocal crown]

Dailies are usually a great way to level up. Plus throw in the weekly Wondrous Tails for a little boost

[boreal storm]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

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

[gloomy rapids]

👍

[warm snow]

The variety comes from the fact that you can have every job on one character and switch pretty freely

That and when we had customizable substats and cross class skills and other build type bs it just encouraged toxicity.

Oh you didn't put all your points in int, we wanted a real black mage for the raid

Etc etc etc

[gloomy rapids]

Yeah true, using meta build is pretty toxic mindset in raid in other mmo

[dreamy quest]

Also people are more attached if they have 1 character right

So everything seems to be linked to gear

[warm snow]

Options are fun and all, but there's a more practical side to removing "builds" for the job system

Way easier to balance for one

Meta of ff14 is play what you want

Some jobs will be slightly better in some specific fights but any job can do any content

[hushed zealot]

s o

Anyone have a Materia Spiritbonding guide for 1 to 3

And yes I know you can buy with Gil but i was tasked with finding this info so i will

[leaden ginkgo]

Just equip any gear that falls within that category, keep doing stuffs until you reach 100% spirit bond, extract materia

[hushed zealot]

I need a bit more specific info that "doing stuffs"

[leaden ginkgo]

Also good if you got a spirit bond tonic for effect

[twilit arch]

go murder shit that would give exp

[hushed zealot]

Reminder that open world doesn't spiritbond anymore which is why i ask

[twilit arch]

that's basically all there is to it when it comes to spiritbonding

[leaden ginkgo]

Then you have to be specific of what kind of materia you want

[hushed zealot]

1 to 3

For relics

[leaden ginkgo]

No

What kind

[boreal storm]

So do ARR content
Near the item lvl

[modest igloo]

so this is the fun part we literally dont have a guide for it

like we understand the basics

but the guides from arr are super outdated

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you need determination, critical hit, direct hit, piety... what kind?

[twilit arch]

frankly that doesn't matter

[hushed zealot]

Its for Relics, yeah ;x
Just Combat Materia

[twilit arch]

farm fates with level appropriate gear on

so t1 is iirc 1-29, t2 30-44 and t3 45-low ivl 50 gear

[lethal mist]

Is there an alarm clock or some such I can set cause I need to fish between 18:00 and 06:00 Eorzean time. I wanna know when it's time and when it stops. On a cycle. Any way I can set that in game or maybe some tool online?

[green grail]

there's an ingame alarm

[leaden ginkgo]

If you open your actions tab and look at general there's an alarm

[green grail]

try /alarm(s?) or its in one of the skills and actions tabs near gpose and stuff

[lethal mist]

Am I blind or there's no alarm in this one? Checked the ones under "Main Commands" as well. Typing /alarm does work tho but I can't find something to set on hotbar.

[green grail]

maybe extras

[hot eagle]

Actions > Extra > Alarms iirc

[obsidian patio]

Extras

[lethal mist]

Ah Extras, thank you!

Funny how to set an alarm, they use proper times, like 17:00 for 5pm but you can't display it that way....

At any rate, many thanks for the help!

[glossy flare]

Character config -> UI settings -> HUD

you can adjust the clock type there and set it to a 24h format

[hushed zealot]

How does spiritbonding for gathering work

[lethal mist]

OMG THANK YOU been looking for this a while and thought it wasn't possible at first. Will this also apply to chat and such?

[hushed zealot]

Is it off nodes or off "taps"?

[upper cove]

Per hit

[hushed zealot]

Gotcha

[glossy flare]

no idea tbh since I don't use timestamps there

[lethal mist]

No worries, I'll see soon

[warm snow]

Who the fuck told you that?

I get sprit bond farming fates in ew zones for example

[gloomy rapids]

I do the lv 15 main quest and the npc talk about a big ass dragon took down a ship with cutscenes. When did this happen? Previous game? Do I have to go back and read any story? I feel I'm missing some context here.

[warm snow]

Oh this is fun

So the original game 1.0 was so fucking bad. They literally and both irl and in the lore, nuked it and started from scratch

https://youtu.be/aWIrju3F6nU

This is a very fun tl;dr

That happened I think 5 years ago in game, but people are still recovering

[steep egret]

chat is separate, check the chat settings
char config > Log window settings
or just click the cog icon next to the chat tabs

[hushed zealot]

Pardon. I meant open world mobs. FATEs count

[green grail]

somewhat recent history of the xiv universe, before the story started

[lethal mist]

Ah you're right, I've already set that it seems. Thank you tho @steep egret

[glossy flare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h542YbZuwkQ

this cinematic depicts some of the events mentioned there

[lethal mist]

Must've been why I thought it wasn't possible to change the clocks I guess.

[green grail]

different event, dragon taking down a ship sounds more like midgarsormr above silvertear

[glossy flare]

oh I just read big dragon and my mind went Bahamut

[green grail]

which is in the 1.0 cinematic, but happened before 1.0 anyways

i think

[glossy flare]

yea it did

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg6yutR3AG0

this then

[warm snow]

I don't think they touch that at level 15,do they?

[steep egret]

no i dont think so

[warm snow]

15 would be the feast at <STARTER CITY>

[steep egret]

later on

[warm snow]

And the flashback

To cartenau

So yeah, wrong cutscene lads

[glossy flare]

well either way, you can (and should imo) watch both of those cinematics

they're not spoilers for ARR since it happens all before and they're just... cool

[timber pond]

Hello, so I'm level 41 alchemist in ilv 20 gear. does anyone know of any vendors that would be good for my level of armor and jewelry? and what stats I should be looking for on the armor?

[obsidian patio]

not really a stat choice in terms of equipment for crafters and gatherers. Each slot has the same ratio of stats, just increased according to item level

as for gear, the starting city marketplaces have level 1-50 gear

[wise prism]

Crafting gear is always big number go brrrrr

[timber pond]

I just remember one time buying crafting gear stats for my gathering profession and wasted money lol

[wise prism]

Oof

[timber pond]

yeah newb move

[steep egret]

just go to a main city and buy from vendors, they go up to around level 30-35, otherwise make your own, or buy from MB, probably are some other options somewhere else

[wise prism]

Also don't worry too much about item level for crafting below 50 since you don't have many good accessory upgrades as you level, at least from vendors.

[timber pond]

okay that's what i thought not many good options under 50

thanks for the help ^^

[heavy oracle]

anyone know what hair this is?

cool thanks

[worn lantern]

for my gatherers leveling 60-70 what should i do?

[solemn jewel]

Leves

And the usual collectibles, deliveries etc

[worn lantern]

Diadem just won't cut it?

[solemn jewel]

It's time consuming

[obsidian patio]

it's not that great if you're not using it to help your crafters

unless the materials on their own sell decently good and somewhat often

[worn lantern]

I mean some things sell pretty good pretty often

Made a million from 1-60 and I haven't gotten close to selling everything yet

60-70 leves are in kugane huh

[azure wagon]

Any Materia Eureka discord server or something so I can group up with people
?

[fringe reef]

hello, i was trying to get X crafting materia from rovena's representative, and it wants a cracked Anthrocluster, i have it that in my inventory but the exchange was still grayed out, did i miss something?

[warm snow]

You have the ones for battle materia

!item cracked anthrocluster
