#

Is that Raid in the Diadem still a thing?

Actually just found out about it

faint flare
#

No

#

Old diadem is long dead

#

Thankfully

ruby tundra
#

Oh thats sad
would have loved to play that at least once o.o

raven lance
#

What does it mean new characters can’t be made in this world rn

warm snow
#

It means new characters can't be made on that world right now

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

narrow jay
#

It's a temporary state.

#

It's based on the amount of active players at the time.

untold vault
#

i might sound dumb but i just found out i can target by pressing tab. I was also looking around the target settings and saw this. What does this setting do?

raven lance
boreal storm
#

!faq tabtarget

zinc orbitBOT
#
Different styles of targetting as illustrated by Lyon
narrow jay
#

New character creation uses the login servers, and if there's a queue to log into a server then new character creation is temporarily suspended.

raven lance
warm snow
#

You wait for the server to not be busy

topaz veldt
#

gotta wait for low pop time

narrow jay
#

Just wait until a later time of day, yeah.

faint flare
#

When people in general

boreal storm
#

are you trying to join an NA server, because it's Peak time rn

narrow jay
#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

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

raven lance
#

Yea

warm snow
#

Or you find another server

untold vault
raven lance
#

How do I get another server

boreal storm
#

by picking another one

narrow jay
#

give me thirty seconds and I'll show you

raven lance
#

Dawg

#

Wtf are these goofy answers

narrow jay
#

The truth.

faint flare
#

There's literally a section during character creation it asks you to pick a server

#

Just go back and pick another

narrow jay
#

Server list for the Aether datacenter.

raven lance
#

It tells me if I do that my progress will be lost

warm snow
faint flare
#

Just save your appearance data

raven lance
#

I don’t know how to

faint flare
#

It should have asked you

raven lance
#

I literally just downloaded this game

faint flare
#

When you finished making it

#

If you wanted to save appearance data

narrow jay
raven lance
#

I can’t make it cause it won’t let me generate

narrow jay
#

If you haven't done anything with that character's appearance yet, then don't worry about it.

#

You haven't got any progress to lose.

steep egret
#

it asks you, after setting up your character's appearance, before you select a server

#

which means you can create character appearances and save them, without creating an actual character

final oar
#

how do i equip fishing job

steep egret
#

like any other job

final oar
#

ive never done it I:

boreal storm
#

equip the rod they gave you

steep egret
#

you equip a fishing rod as your "weapon"

raven lance
#

I saved it is there a way to know what server isn’t packed I just picked another just to get the same

final oar
steep egret
#

they tell you to equip the stuff they give you

#

before talking to them again

faint flare
#

When picking a server, they show you what's available

final oar
#

i came back here after like 20 hours of playing xd

boreal storm
#

!faq worldstatus

zinc orbitBOT
final oar
#

so i didnt remember

steep egret
#

or greyed out or something

raven lance
#

I don’t see that I select the world and do the class stuf and says the same I’ll just go trial and error ig

faint flare
#

You can only select worlds that are open

boreal storm
#

like I said it's peak time, so you're not likely to get in any until morning

faint flare
#

When picking them during character creation

raven lance
#

That’s honestly kinda ass

visual sandal
#

It is what it is

old willow
#

How often they do sales on Fantasia? I want to change to a lalafel

worn crag
#

not too often

raven lance
#

What’s the dragoon stereotype

worn crag
#

it used to be floor tank

#

since the animation locks used to be so bad you'd constantly get snapshotted by an aoe and die

raven lance
#

I saw that a lot just death

faint flare
#

The melee with a long combo string and lot of jumps

final oar
#

how do i join a frontline campaign pvp thing

faint flare
#

Be lv30, have your job stone on and unlock it...also don't be on free trial

old willow
#

In Elder Scrolls Online, it is allowed explicitly by the ZoS to trade cash shop items for in-game gold vice versa and there's even community Discord for trading it as well with brokers to prevent people getting scammed. Do we have one for ffxiv?

final wigeon
#

Hmm...

boreal storm
#

you can't trade cash shop items
and RMT is super bannable

old willow
boreal storm
#

This isn't ESO, RMT will get you banned

old willow
pure zenith
#

and is bannable

#

gil must be earned the good ol fashioned way

cold quarry
#

The good ol' way of exploiting the market paissaowo

steep egret
#

never assume RMT is allowed, doesn't matter if Bethesda allows it, 99% of MMOs will absolutely ban you for that

#

(the reason Bethesda allows is, is because they are/were financially fucked and it keeps money coming in)

leaden ginkgo
#

does anyone know how to get from rank 2 to rank 3 in squadron it seems like i am stuck at rank 2

faint flare
#

Do 5 command missions

steep egret
#

complete the flagged mission

faint flare
#

Then flagged mission

steep egret
#

oh yeah, 5 commands 😛

#

5 Different command missions

#

i believe

#

can't do the same one

cold quarry
#

Ye

#

5 different dungies

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhh tysm a lot i was stuck for days in this

#

but why when i try to command a mission it says requirement not met

umbral dune
#

Wait squadron rank2 to rank 3 is not like that

#

Have any of your member reach lvl 40?

leaden ginkgo
#

4 of them did

umbral dune
#

And have you done GC hunting log rank 2, 2 blue quests right at the GC office?

leaden ginkgo
#

yep

umbral dune
#

No flagged mission available now?

leaden ginkgo
#

there is a flagged mission i've done it multiple times but nothing is happening

umbral dune
#

Succeed?

faint flare
#

You havent completed it

#

You need to succeed it

#

With all 3 stats met

#

Otherwise it fails

leaden ginkgo
#

well i am a bit late with mental ability

quaint grove
#

trying to catch big fish is just like... match the fish's required gathering to catch and then get the bait to catch it and then go find it right? like theres nothing else i should be doing? obviously mooch if need be but nothing else?

faint flare
#

You will typically over level it

umbral dune
#

Training to adjust your stat

faint flare
#

Unless you have good stat boosting chemistries

umbral dune
#

Or replace the member, no need to be 2dps, 1 tank, 1 healer, you could go 4dps if it good

leaden ginkgo
#

so can i reduce the physical and increase the mental and tactical so i get the numbers required?

umbral dune
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Via training board

leaden ginkgo
#

hope it works

umbral dune
#

Will work

boreal storm
#

also just try swapping your team around

leaden ginkgo
#

oh one more thing if u don't mind why when i want to command a mission it says requirement not met

faint flare
#

People can't be out on missions or training cause otherwise you have no one to run with

#

Also meet the standard dungeon comp

leaden ginkgo
#

they're not in trainning does the independent mastery 1 thing affect anything?

umbral dune
#

Or one of the member not high enough in level, could also be not following 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps

leaden ginkgo
#

okay nvm the roles wasn't matching

raven lance
#

I was trying to configure the jumping and map it to another button how do I do that it only shows me computer commands

obsidian patio
#

System configuration > controller settings

raven lance
obsidian patio
#

Button configuration isn’t showing drop down menus for each button?

raven lance
#

Yea it’s not working

boreal storm
#

also did you swap the mouse and controller thing in the top left

raven lance
#

Yes I did

#

Went all the way to controller

obsidian patio
#

Can you take a picture of the button configuration menu?

raven lance
#

Sure I restarted the game gimme a sec

#

@obsidian patio

obsidian patio
#

Wrong area

#

That’s for if you wanted to give computer keybinds to controller output

raven lance
#

Ok so then what do I do

obsidian patio
#

The menu I specified should look something like this

#

In system config > controller settings

raven lance
#

Ah thank you

vale rampart
#

So I'm going to do a unsync dungeon.. will it still give me poetics? Or does it have to be synced?

dry pelican
#

I read that beast tribe quests are supposed to scale their XP to your level. So I'm doing Kojin quests. My level ~66 SAM got relatively nothing despite being in the level range for stormblood. Why is it not scaling? I got around 68k when it's over a million and a half to level up

#

Meanwhile namazu quests are easily giving a third of my XP bar

twilit arch
modest igloo
#

Kojin give overall less since there’s also ananta

faint flare
#

There's 2 tribes so the xp is spread between them

#

In shb and ew there's only 1 combat tribe which gives essentially the same amount as the two combat tribes in previous expansions

dry pelican
#

Does ananta give more than Kojin? Because if it doesn't then it's like five days of six quests for one XP bar vs 1 day for a full bar with Namazu. Feels really off for the gains

faint flare
#

They give the same

#

Cause again

#

The xp is spread between the 2 tribes

#

There's only 1 crafter tribe per era, so naturally it gives more to compensate

merry merlin
#

Beast Tribe Quests are just not a good way to level alt jobs. You are better off just doing daily roulettes and spamming high level dungeons

dry pelican
#

Damn, 60-70 leveling is just rough then I guess

faint flare
#

Are you.legit stupid

#

It's literally free and 0 effort xp

#

And takes 2mins to do

lucid cloak
#

Tbf stb ones do not give particularly good exp

#

Shb and ew ones do

faint flare
#

Cause again

#

It's 1 tribe

#

Vs 2

lucid cloak
#

No, even individually

quaint grove
twilit arch
#

heavensward and stormblood beast tribes are quite decent for their level ranges

dry pelican
#

Yeah, but doing both tribes still feels like a waste since doing all six quests gets like 1/5 of an experience bar

twilit arch
#

They're 15mins of work for essentially free exp

#

But this really isnt he channel to argue it

lucid cloak
#

Yeah it feels more pronounced for shb/ew

twilit arch
#

at the end of the day, the exp of the beast tribes for hw/sb are split between two tribes for combat vs 1 for the crafting tribe

faint flare
#

And it's something to do while waiting in ques

fossil trench
#

But if you want to do the capstone tribal quest, you need to do beast tribes anyway

lucid cloak
#

That's probably why. Shb combat tribe is 1/3 a level for maybe 10 minutes which you do while queued anyways

quaint grove
#

trying to catch big fish is just like... match the fish's required gathering to catch and then get the bait to catch it and then go find it right? like theres nothing else i should be doing? obviously mooch if need be but nothing else?

clever acorn
#

this is going to sound stupid, but can you still get to the firmament? I really want to get the skyworker set but I cant find it anywhere, with everything saying "go to the residential area"

boreal storm
#

Did you unlock it? Because the aetheryte let’s you warp there

clever acorn
#

I thought so, but I guess not

#

guess I didnt, how do I unlock it?

jovial quarry
#

A blue quest from a flyer near the main Ishgard aetheryte

boreal storm
#

You do have all the crafters and gatherers right?
Because you need them to actually do anything

steep egret
#

go talk to the npc, either near the aetheryte, or near the entrance to the residential area

quaint grove
#

you only need a crafter or a gatherer

quaint grove
clever acorn
#

my highest level is a 34 miner, is that good enough?

quaint grove
#

nope. 90% sure you must be 60

boreal storm
#

Ishgard because that’s where the firmament is

twilit arch
#

you don't need a 60 crafter/gatherer for the unlock for the firmament

#

can be 60 combat job

clever acorn
#

well I dont have that either so looks like I have some work to do

#

Im only level 55

quaint grove
#

that doesnt take you to the firmament. t

boreal storm
#

It does, we know how it works

twilit arch
#

Sounds like you need to continue with msq as well

steep egret
#

the main aetheryte in ishgard, has a teleport option to the firmament, If you have unlocked it

twilit arch
#

since unlocking the restoration requires you to have completed the 3.3 msq

quaint grove
clever acorn
#

I just want a shirt ):

boreal storm
#

?
What was misleading about “the Ishgard aetheryte lets you warp to the firmament, if you have it unlocked

steep egret
#

same, but i cbf grinding the scrips right now so i moved on

oak lily
clever acorn
#

yeah Im only just starting the level 52 quests

gilded cloud
#

Hey, I need some help with some account issues and the square support page/emails haven't helped so far. so I made a throw away account to try and fix a different problem I was having, but now the throw away account is linked to my steam and I have no way of unlinking it since I don't have the account info anymore idk what to do

steep egret
#

only support can do that i believe

gilded cloud
#

any way i can get into contact with someone who doesn't give an automated response?

boreal storm
#

If you don’t have the account info, I don’t think they can do much

steep egret
#

unlink form

#

make sure to change to the correct region, thats the EU version

#

but yeah, you need to be able to login to it

gilded cloud
#

damn I may be screwed then thanks anyways tho

steep egret
#

there is a link to the support center there, contact them, log a ticket

#

if you have some details of the account they may be able to help

#

or can prove its yours

#

but if you created the account with dummy info, like a random bday, random securiry questions, etc

#

they wont be able to verify its yours

#

assuming you dont have that info

gilded cloud
#

ive gone through the unlink page and a couple other support pages a few times and they cant do anything cuz i have non of that info so rip

toxic glacier
#

Will the 6.1 pvp armor set be unavailable after the next season begins? I don't know if I have enough time to grind it

hot eagle
#

series last till 6.2 and after the next series starts you can get it for trophy crystals for a limited time before it's gone till they decide to rerun the armor as reward

twilit arch
#

you'll be able to earn it until 6.3

#

its just 6.2 will have a different series malmstone reward track

toxic glacier
#

How many trophy crystals would it cost though? Or we don't know yet

twilit arch
#

dont know

heavy wadi
twilit arch
#

since the changes were introduced with 6.1

maiden basin
#

I just finished all nine Trials of the Braves books, but the quest for the books no longer seems to be in my list (and checking with Gerolt only offers to start other relics). When I try to talk to Jalzahn with my atma weapon and the books done in my inventory, the next quest doesn't unlock.

#

I'm confused.

#

(The game tells me to go to Jalzahn when I try to get another book since I have them completed, but he doesn't have a quest I can complete. Celestial Radiance is locked whether I'm holding the Atma weapon or not.)

twilit arch
#

i believe its the atma enhancement option when talking to him

#

make sure you do not have the weapon equipped

#

either that or animus

maiden basin
#

Okay, so the option for atma was the solution, thank you.

#

I was confused because I thought that was for making another atma weapon.

twilit arch
#

yeaa... the ARR relic can be a bit confusing

#

its been awhile since i've done mine so hard to remember what to do sometimes 😔

maiden basin
#

Am I good to get rid of this last trial of the braves book by the way? Doesn't look like the NPCs are taking it away. x3

topaz veldt
#

idk tbh, if you got your weapon i would assume it's fine

#

worst that can happen is i have to do that book again so w/e

twilit arch
#

yes you can toss the book

topaz veldt
#

lol toss the boss

#

i thought that was intentional

twilit arch
#

lol no, just fingers typing too fast xd

raven lance
#

Is the combat turn based? Or something I was trying to fight an enemy earlier and it seemed like I couldn’t do consecutive attacks

boreal storm
#

No skills just have cooldowns

raven lance
#

I tried linking two skills N it wouldn’t work

#

It would be like a buffer

boreal storm
#

Again cooldowns

steep egret
#

there is animation locks

twilit arch
#

there is a 2.5s global cooldown

steep egret
#

but that early level, you wont have instant casts, or many, to even see animation locks

twilit arch
#

which means a delay between using weaponskills or spells, and as you get higher in level you will gain abilities that you can weave between these

raven lance
#

Oh that seems pretty slow combat wise

twilit arch
#

yea, at lower levels you really feel the 2.5s gcd

steep egret
#

well yeah, later on, you get more
the game starts out slow to let people learn before increasing the complexity

twilit arch
#

but as i said, higher levels means more ogcds to weave so it doesn't feel as bad

#

and certain jobs also like having lower gcds

#

so that also helps make it feel less slow

steep egret
#

you can kinda "mask" the slow gcd, by picking a caster class/job for early levels

#

since the have to "cast" their spells, it feels less like standing around waiting for the gcd

boreal storm
#

But all jobs start slow, so you can ease into the combat

remote lintel
#

as you level up you get more abilities to use between gcds

#

so most classes dont feel slow when their kits are complete

topaz veldt
#

your kit completes and there's more reasons to keep moving at later levels so it's not nearly as slow as it feels while leveling

grizzled reef
#

is there a way to view just my gcd casts on ff logs?

outer mural
untold willow
#

when handing in a journal to khloe is there an ideal lvl range to give it to her? or does the exp scale

outer mural
#

scales to directly half of your current exp bar

#

highest level possible is the best bang for your b uck

untold willow
#

ty

grizzled reef
supple harbor
#

I want to lvl my chocc with blu. Are there locations with stacked lvl 70 mobs for a quick ultravibe?

marsh merlin
#

anyone know if its possible to add a castbar near the caster's nameplates like in wow?

robust crow
hot eagle
#

you can move your castbar the same way as the hud in the hud layout should be named progress bar iirc

robust crow
#

instead I suggest enlarging your main target cast bar

steep egret
#

not possible, no, you can separate the castbar from the rest of the enemy UI and make it larger and closer to the center of the screen

#

thats what most people do

#

pretty sure i have mine set to 200% size

marsh merlin
#

yea ik that but still you cant see castbars that you arent targeting/focusing

marsh merlin
robust crow
#

i don't use delvui, I wouldn't know

twilit arch
#

The enemy list shows mobs that you have emnity on and shows their cast bar

robust crow
#

I use mostly default UI with in-house configs

marsh merlin
#

i see thanks for the help

leaden ginkgo
#

I know this may be a stupid question but can someone help me identify what hair and colors this is. Sorry this was the only picture I got before they vanished

robust crow
#

looks like alphinaud/alisaie hair from mog station

#

and just pick any blonde hair color

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there anything else that’ll look the same that’s not money related?

boreal storm
#

Exactly the same, obviously no

robust crow
#

by "the same" do you mean a short hair look?

#

there are numerous short hairstyles but that hair is unique

solemn jewel
#

That specifically is blonde with white highlights i think

narrow jay
#

Tick the "accents" option in the Hairstyle menu and simply pick a blond hair color for the main and a white color for the accent.

last knot
#

maybe you'd like styled for hire or modern legend, but yeah there's no real close match that's not for $

broken fable
#

I need SCH knowledge. Can I get away with just having one of the fairies? Is there a big difference between Eos and Selene?

solemn jewel
#

They're the same

remote lintel
#

you can only have one fairy out at a time

outer mural
#

pick the one that you find looks cooler

#

however by law i must tell you that eos has the better color scheme

pure zenith
#

Legally Selene is better in all aspects
really they are the same fairy
they used to be different but that got changed a long time ago

broken fable
#

Tell me, loremaster. What was different?

jade quartz
#

Eos had essentially the current fairy spells; Selene had weird stuff.

jovial quarry
#

Selene used to be more of a support pet than a healing pet. It had a silence (silence is now called interrupt), a debuff cleanse, and a minor skill/spell speed buff for the whole party. The first two were unreliable at best and the haste buff was very niche. Eos was usually just a better choice as it had the same actions both fairies share now. A regen and a heal buff.

jade quartz
#

An AoE esuna, an unresponsive interrupt, and a haste buff

jovial quarry
#

Today, however, Eos and Selene are just a cosmetic choice. Which color do you prefer.

queen mantle
#

do you still get exp if you massively overlevelled your MSQ?

modest igloo
#

up until you hit cap you get xp

flat wigeon
#

Do I need to level a crafting job to get an animal relic weapon?

modest igloo
#

nope

flat wigeon
#

Oh ok

glossy flare
#

Unless you are on the free trial

#

then yes

modest igloo
#

it helps for a step but theres quite a few other ways to grab them

queen mantle
flat wigeon
#

I heard I needed a bunch of materials and stuff and that I should start farming early

#

Idk for what exactly yet I’m still on the guide

modest igloo
#

it basically boils down to a shitton of poetics, some gc seals, and 1 step that has a few different options

flat wigeon
#

I see

old willow
#

how to make trust npc use aoe?

flat wigeon
#

I haven’t even done any of my gc quests I’m still at bottom rank

modest igloo
queen mantle
#

is there a way to low level gain xp aside from fates in a party?

zinc orbitBOT
old willow
queen mantle
#

err

queen mantle
#

sorry

#

my gf is a veteran and I'm new, is there a way for us to play together and level aside from fates?

#

early game, before dungeons

modest igloo
flat wigeon
#

I don’t think that was the question exactly

queen mantle
#

she can't join me for that if she's done it right?

modest igloo
#

she could new game+ to refollow the storyline

queen mantle
#

ah

flat wigeon
queen mantle
#

just the dungeons not the quests?

modest igloo
#

yep

flat wigeon
#

Not if she’s already done them

queen mantle
#

can you ng+ for ARR and all the expacs?

twilit arch
#

yes

flat wigeon
twilit arch
#

only thing currently not available, msq wise, for ng+ is the 6.1 msq

queen mantle
#

most recent one?

#

can you pick and choose? I feel like heavansward etc?

flat wigeon
#

What is ng+ and expacs?

twilit arch
#

new game plus, and expansions

#

and yes you can pick and choose which exapc you want to do, they're broken into chapters

flat wigeon
queen mantle
#

expansion pack

#

pac k

steep egret
#

EXpansion PACk, to make it a bit clearer 🙂

#

its used so there isnt confusion with something like, Exp (which is EXPerience)

narrow jay
#

formerly just XP but we needed to add the E for some bizarre reason

whole ember
#

Wasn't sure if I should ask this here or in endgame discussion since its not technically endgame anymore, but does anyone have any idea how O12S is unsynced nowadays? Tried doing it back in Shadowbringers but didn't go too well, but I hadn't really touched savages much at that point either.

modest igloo
#

still gotta do numbers for p1 but you can still goodbye world stuff in p2

whole ember
stiff vapor
#

is there any gear i can use at level 90 so i can start farm at savage raids?

modest igloo
#

as well as 590 tome gear

stiff vapor
#

i'm using classical gear i don't think it's good for it

whole ember
#

is it the regular classical or the augmented?

#

cause you can 100% start endgame with augmented

stiff vapor
#

regular i think

whole ember
#

Augmented you have to trade in your regular classical gear at Radz, along with some aphorism tomestones for rain

#

i think theres a pin

#

thats the one you want

glossy flare
#

classical is still fine as entry level gear, 580 is all you need

#

but there is just no reason to not augment it

whole ember
#

Youll need a fair amount of aphorism tomes to get a full set, personally id recommend getting your rightside/jewelry first

#

since thats the cheapest bang for your buck

#

and then maybe learn EX3 and get your 595 weapon from it

jovial quarry
#

Also, if you’re using the crafted set, be absolutely certain that it’s the high quality version.

whole ember
#

And when you trade in for the Augmented, make sure you select the HQ option on this screen

#

if you dont, itll let you trade in HQ gear and only receive the normal quality amount of certificates

#

then just slap some X materia in your new augmented gear and youre set

narrow jay
#

Regular crafted (or Limbo) is fine to start. The minimum item level for a4s is 580, which is regular crafted. And SE designs the fight to be beatable at the minimum item level. So if 580 isn't working for you, I suspect there's something else at play here.

An Unexpected Proposal
This is the Anima relic questline right

narrow jay
#

thank you yes that is the letter

#

My brain was stuck on Asphodelos

ruby plover
#

Do you gain more xp for running dungeons in trust vs with real players?

twilit arch
#

no

#

same amount

ruby plover
#

oh ok

jovial quarry
#

Same exp. Running with NPC’s takes longer on average but no queue times.

dire prawn
#

Where do I go to spend Centurio seals

ok, ty

#

can a lv 70 job do DR and Dalriada?

jovial quarry
#

Need to be at least 71 to enter Bozja or Zadnor. DR needs at least level 80.

solemn jewel
#

It's 71+ for bozja in general

vital ruin
#

o

jovial quarry
#

That said, yeah, as long as you’re level 71, you can run Dalriada.

#

It’s just DR that has the 80 requirement.

Why some clothes are looking worse on human race compared to cat race? Like normal craftable level 1 shirt looks good on cat but on human it's either long big shirt for male and just a bra for female. bruh. Is there an option to change it?

solemn jewel
#

If it's the hempen camise, that just has a different model for all races
Most other gear is the same for everyone

flat wigeon
#

for anima weapons, do i just follow the rowena questline or are there external steps i gotta do?

flat wigeon
modest igloo
#

theres 1 quest that you'll have to do for the light farm, which is like 2 feet from the main questline

#

What does the archons mean? I just get to know that the tattoo some scions are wearing means they are archons. But what is an archon?

jovial quarry
#

It’s like getting your doctorate. Difference is the degree is a tattoo and the subjects of study are way more broad.

lunar flare
#

was it just me or did ffxiv have no voice acting in the cutscenes until you make it to ul'dah for the first time on lominsan envoy?

modest igloo
#

VA in arr is sparse at best

lunar flare
#

ah i thought i messed up volume settings or something

#

ok cool

modest igloo
#

i mean the first cs should be va'd? but after that yeah lvl 15 is around the first time it comes back

frank valve
#

there’s more VA later

lunar flare
#

ah yeah the first cs where u travel to the starting city

#

think it was voice acted, must've forgotten

#

Only the "hear, feel, think" bit iirc

vital ruin
#

How do i assign a key specifically for that limitbreak on hotbar 7 on a controller? It's separate since i'm using cross hotbar

steel wigeon
#

If you don't have the "one time password" activated yet, it's for the two factor authentificator, you can leave it blank

green grail
#

you can assign a keyboard button to it, if you have a keyboard plugged in

vital ruin
#

ouch

#

im on laptop so ya

#

but my layout is for controller

#

whereas my lkeyboard is just to type

#

can i still assign a key for the LB

green grail
#

i think you might need to disable direct chat but yeah

vital ruin
#

oof

#

guess ill put LB on my crossbar somewhere

#

so i just remove that hotbar 7 since it wont benefit me in any way right?

green grail
vital ruin
#

ya i put the lb on hotbar 7 and actually lb on my crossbar so ik when it's active

raven lance
#

Where do I go to pick a job

green grail
#

well, you usually have the LB bar for that, when you're in a party

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.

Is it better to play on Steam or from their original launcher? Which one is better and easier to purchase the game?

glossy flare
#

Up to you, whatever is more convenient really

round lotus
#

i heard lots whining about steam especially after they introduced the account link

leaden ginkgo
#

With that being said I don't think the steam version can use the third party launcher

round lotus
#

nah i saw ppl with steam using it

leaden ginkgo
#

So the virtue of both launchers being shit but one can be replaced I'd say the one from their site

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh it can?

solemn jewel
#

Yea

glossy flare
#

it can, you just have to have steam open as well

leaden ginkgo
#

Then pick whichever you want, both is shite anyway

glossy flare
#

since the new account link stuff requires it

solemn jewel
#

Both are viable and if u like steam wallet, that's a plus

round lotus
#

so far only defenet steam benefit is lower subcription cost in russia and brazil

hushed pollen
#

Got it. Thankyou guys.

leaden ginkgo
vital sentinel
#

Idk if this is the right place to ask, but why did steam give me a NA activation code if my account was EU? I just wasted money buying the full game

solemn jewel
#

What's ur steam account country

vital sentinel
#

Finland

solemn jewel
#

Were u online via a vpn?

#

Idk why steam would give u a NA code

steep egret
#

Might have to take it up with steam support and get it refunded

vital sentinel
#

I'll give it a shot ig

steep egret
#

Can't stay over ever heard of that

#

Wait are steam keys region specific?

#

I've never heard of region issues like that when buying on steam

vital sentinel
#

Not sure

#

should be right?

steep egret
#

You normally play on steam?

vital sentinel
#

If there isn't even an option to choose the region when buying the game

#

yeah

steep egret
#

Ok so how do you know the key is for NA?

#

someone cut in if im being dumb, i just dont know how Steam ff14 keys work
ive just never seen this reported as an issue, always thought steam region didnt matter, and Steam keys (for FF14) were not region specific

round lotus
#

i saw a couple of reddit thread that were asking to trade the code but cant recall if those were steam or not

steep egret
#

usually when we see region issues, its because someone has bought the key from the wrong Square Enix store, as it has to match your account region

harsh sun
#

Hi guys, I'm level 50 and starting to do the post ARR really long no exp quest ... If I buy this thing do I'll skip the entire thing and start level up again ?

obsidian patio
#

Sure, but that’s a waste of money IMO

harsh sun
#

I really don't want to spend that time again

#

Ok great I'll buy it

modest igloo
#

just cheaper to buy the level skip at that point

harsh sun
#

The level skip ? I just don't want to do all the quests again, I already do that maybe 2 years ago and that was a nightmare for me

modest igloo
#

ah, the question sounded more like you wanted exp rather than to skip the missions

#

5.3 did cull them down and added flight

#

but if you just wanted to skip the quests then yeah thats what that book is for

harsh sun
#

Ok great, I'll skip it or I'll just quit the game at this point, thx for the info 🙂

modest igloo
#

post arr made hw much more enjoyable for me, but also i was having fun when i started the game

#

different strokes for different folks

warm snow
#

You're not technically meant to level

harsh sun
#

Yeah but already do that on an old account so ... If I can skip it, i'll do that 😄

warm snow
#

You're in the post arr, from when the level cap stayed 50 until the next expansion released

#

It's all story to close arr and start hw now

#

Since it was all level cap content at the time it didn't give exp

#

Your level in this game means very little, it's the main story progress that matters

round lotus
#

well if they played that and they get lost in story they can always rewatch the cutscneses in inn

harsh sun
#

Yeah, I'm summoner and want to level up to get all that great summon, don't want to spend so much time in a no leveling quest that I already do in the past

warm snow
#

You pretty much need to boost to Endwalker to get that

#

And you won't be able to use it outside level 90 content regardless

harsh sun
#

It'll be ok if I can level up correctly with msq after

warm snow
#

Until you hit post hw and this will repeat

#

Cuz that's all level cap content for heavensward

#

AGAIN

#

Then the same with stormblood and shadowbringers

#

That's how the game works

#

We get an expansion, that expansions main story is great for levelling. Then for the next 2 years we get more story and side content, all level cap so no exp, then a new expansion releases and the level cap goes up

harsh sun
#

Oh, the same thing will start again after the end of each expansion ?

warm snow
#

Yeah that's how it works

#

We get a big expansions worth of story then in patches over the next 2 years we get the epilogue and prologue of the next expansion without real exp

#

And that's all part of the story

bitter herald
#

they add in some exp after the next expack has launched, but yeah while shb's patches were coming out, that msq had no exp bc we were at level cap

harsh sun
#

Oh, and all of this post expansion take around the same time that post ARR quest ?

warm snow
#

less iirc

oak lily
#

god no

#

its less

#

ARR just has some jank

warm snow
#

Post arr is a bit of a wild west since they were still figuring out how they wanted to do things

bitter herald
#

arr takes way longer

obsidian patio
#

In terms of quest amount, ARR is the biggest of the post-leveling story by double the rest

warm snow
#

And the mandatory side content

harsh sun
#

Ohhh that's great

bitter herald
#

and it used to be even worse!

warm snow
#

Like crystal tower and hard primals

obsidian patio
#

HW/SB/SHB patch story only have around 40-ish quests each, but they’re more compact and have more overall cutscenes.

bitter herald
#

ye

warm snow
#

If you want to follow the story, which is the main selling point of the game, I'd recommend still doing it

#

But I don't pay your sub

bitter herald
#

lot less filler fetch quests in my experience

harsh sun
#

Ok, well I will just skip post ARR, thx for all the answers guys 🙂

warm snow
#

Would highly recommend you at least do the crystal tower raids first

midnight tinsel
#

from what they said

#

they already did those

warm snow
#

They'll unlock the alliance raid roulette which is very good exp

midnight tinsel
#

on their old account

warm snow
#

Oh okay

midnight tinsel
#

crystal tower probably gets force completed anyway

warm snow
#

It does

midnight tinsel
#

with a msq skip

warm snow
#

It's just the most long term story relevant of the arr patch content

harsh sun
#

Yeah, I already do this post ARR quest with an old account, that's why I really want to skip it 🙂

oak lily
#

its not as bad

warm snow
#

Then why not just skip to endwalker instead if this is an alt char?

oak lily
#

they culled like 20 quests

warm snow
#

Or is it dolla dolla gil

#

Which is fair

oak lily
#

and CT was made manadatory, but that doesn't add much in terms of time

midnight tinsel
harsh sun
oak lily
#

I mean you can punch through it in a couple days

#

and its got important stuff up to EW still; but its your time and money, we're just people spitting words

midnight tinsel
#

if they have the money why not

round lotus
#

yeah and cutscnese are avaliable in inn

#

or youtube vids

oak lily
#

some can't be rewatched

#

but I don't know which ones exactly

harsh sun
#

I prefer to spend like 12 usd to just skip this thing, or I already know that'll leave the game an another time, and I really want to go to the end game, this game looks really good for end game content

warm snow
#

Cuz you'll really want/need to see that context for hw

midnight tinsel
#

they probably already watched it ?

warm snow
#

If they quit in post arr, wouldn't have gotten to it

midnight tinsel
#

thats not what they wrote

#

they said they quit after it

#

but anyway

#

i think this question ran its course

harsh sun
#

No I already finish post ARR in my old account, but I leaved the game like 1 or 2 days after

#

But I'll watch again the last arr cutscene on youtube

warm snow
#

Can also watch at Inn after you apply the boost

vital ruin
#

if you lose the lv 80 job gear, can u get it back via the calamity salvager (or whatever it's called)

oak lily
#

you just go back to the vendor]

vital ruin
#

damn

oak lily
#

not that its very good, mind you

vital ruin
#

no glam

oak lily
#

better to do MM EX for it then

#

since those are dyable

vital ruin
#

hows mm ex unsync i never really bothered to learn that fight
hella confusing

Usually 1k a piece

does people do unsync runs? @faint flare

For the card

Well what level is your retainer?

#

!who is @half canopy

zinc orbitBOT
warm snow
#

And what level is your fisher

half canopy
#

lvl 80, how do I progress?

steep egret
#

max level for retainers is the max level you have for that job/class yourself

#

so if you are 80, retainer is stuck at 80

#

are you at 80 fishing ?

faint flare
#

Reset it and pick miner

#

Do you have miner unlocked and levelled

warm snow
#

You have to reset

#

As in strip them and then turn them into a miner

oak lily
#

its another section

#

because I just changed a whm to fsh a few days ago

steep egret
#

its a different menu option
if you are only seeing jobs

#

thats where you upgrade a class to a job

#

not, change their base class

#

talk to the retainer

umm excuse me i need some help regarding paying for subscriptions in the game , i dont know this discord server much but if someone can guide/help me so that i might get my issue resolved or can get some guidance regarding the matter

oh okay thanks umm i happen been getting an error of 601 again and again when i am entering debit card in the subscription panel , someone told me to wait 24 hours and then add it , i did that and same error , i cant pay for crysta also and its been a mess , i really wanna play the game if someone had this issue before and found a solution or something it will be really helpful

steep egret
midnight galleon
#

unfortunatly only debit

#

and the thing is i am from pakistan when i was doing the sub before i used game card

patent citrus
#

ah yeah, the country doesn't match sometimes gives problem

solemn jewel
#

Yea game time card might be the best way

midnight galleon
#

and at that time to buy that i needed to have a VPN on cause it blocked cause of my location

#

i cant buy the time card also now

patent citrus
solemn jewel
#

What account region is ur account.

midnight galleon
#

the thing i buyed a time card before and it worked , i dont know why it is not working now

#

um eu and other countries

solemn jewel
#

Yea ok

#

And you can't buy crysta via Paypal?

#

Do u have the option "paysafecard"

midnight galleon
#

unfortunately paypal is not available here

#

and paysafe card also

queen mantle
#

is the game down atm? (NA)

solemn jewel
#

Yea I don't think u can get around vpn+gametime card...

midnight galleon
#

it worked before i played the whole game from SB till EW cause of time card

solemn jewel
#

Unless u can get a credit card

midnight galleon
#

idk why it stopped working

patent citrus
#

are you a member of Pakistani FFXIV gamers discord/facebook or some sort?

#

asking local people might be the best bet

queen mantle

can't log in :/

midnight galleon
hot eagle

have no WoL in NA

it use to work so easily , i got an event to join on friday and i cant get my sub back

what happens if i buy mog stuff but my mail was full 20/20? ;-;

#

You'll need to clear stuff then press the Request delivery button

#

Then wait for it to come

tidal yarrow
#

thank you

#

An hour tops unless shits insanely busy

#

Which would be something like preorders for a new expansion going live

#

Those goodies took some people 24+hrs to get

lunar flare
#

i have 2 buttons on the side of my mouse, is it a bad idea to bind them to my most used skills? playing archer

storm sapphire
#

you should bind it to whatever you find most comfortable

lunar flare
#

yea need to experiment

solemn jewel
#

I personally bound those to Alt and shift

storm sapphire
#

I have my 2 side buttons set for aoe skills

lunar flare
solemn jewel
lunar flare
#

that sounds like a good idea. i have small fingers, so doing ctr+# for top bar skills feels really clunky

steep egret
#

yeah i have one of mine set to press ctrl, which is my 3rd hotbar

#

easy to hit shift + stuff, but ctrl is a stretch sometimes

patent citrus
#

Ow people just use MMO mouse usually

#

Don't think they use the ctrl and alt manually

#

Or do they?

solemn jewel
#

You might need to use ur mouse program or another program to assign those keys tho

steep egret
#

having the mouse button set to ctrl does take some getting used to, but i really like it now

#

lets me move around easily when firing off skills on that hotbar

lunar flare
patent citrus
#

Yeah mouse button bins alt and ctel

#

Yeah g305 got extra 6 buttons I reckon

warm snow
#

Yeah the tl Dr is find what works for you

patent citrus
#

But not exactly MMO mouse, still can bind ctrl and alt to your right hand though

warm snow
#

That and controllers are clearly the best way to play

#

:p

lunar flare
#

controller??

#

never tried it, is it good?

patent citrus
#

Gamepad yeah

warm snow
#

My dude I am an ultimate clearing high end raider that uses a controller on pc

#

And I'm pretty damn good if I do say so myself

patent citrus
#

PS5 Dual Sense or any you like

warm snow
#

I use a switch pro controller

#

Maximum heathen

lunar flare
#

i was going to say, i could try my switch procon

modest igloo
#

controller is gucci in ffxiv

warm snow
#

Mind you, you still have to git gud at using controller

#

But that's no different to gitting gud at kbm

patent citrus
#

Also it improve your rest day during gameplay instead sitting in front of your comp like you are in the office

lunar flare
#

i'm actually new to pc gaming as a whole, all my previous gaming experience lies with pads

warm snow
#

And that's why I use a controller

patent citrus
#

Sitting for long period of time isn't good for you, laying down on a couch is better

warm snow
#

Grew up with it and preference

#

That said, use a keyboard for chat etc

lunar flare
#

ui navigation yeah

patent citrus
#

Yeah for that just get a small cheap BT keyboard that you can throw around

warm snow
#

Ff14 controller support is so good, they refused to patent it cuz they want mmos to be more accessible

#

Although that admittedly speaks more of the devs than the quality of controller support

patent citrus
#

Might also due to JP don't really use PC to game, console market is bigger there

warm snow
#

Controller is in no way inferior for gameplay, just chatting, so play however you want

warm frost
#

I use controller to play and chat with keyboard on the ps4

lunar flare
#

is the switch procon natively supported?

#

or do i need to tinker with binds

warm snow
#

I'm admittedly using it through steam

lunar flare
#

ah

warm snow
#

But it'll probably be recognised as an xbox gamepad

#

There's a mod to replace the xbox buttons in game with switch buttons

lunar flare
#

couid just transfer launcher to steam

#

does that have any repercussions

sleek needle
#

If you own the game you can't swap from standalone to steam or other way around (dunno what you're on?)

lunar flare
#

free trial standalone on pc

sleek needle
#

You can swap to steam when you're buying it then nodpink

#

Only time it's doable (and only standalone free trial > steam payed)

steel wigeon
lunar flare
sleek needle
#

Nope

lunar flare
#

i'll prob do that if i buy it i think

#

ty

steep egret
#

just remember, if you are on steam, you have to buy all expansions, and future expansions, on steam
you cant buy them from the Square Enix store, those keys dont work for Steam

lunar flare
#

as long as i'm not paying more on steam that's fine

lusty oasis
#

im trying to solo a11s as paladin and every time the 2nd photon comes up after 50% hp im getting one shotted. no time to even heal. anyone have tips for this?

green grail
#

it's a 1hp mechanic and you're getting auto'd

#

use hallowed (or veil? but i don't think you get the shield from it lul)

faint flare
#

Precast the heal

coral solar
#

yeah no veil doesn't self-shield

#

because that'd make actual sense

lusty oasis
#

I've been trying to stay out of range so I can insta heal. Hallowed is used during the first limit cut

faint flare
#

Isn't the second proton during the lava floor or something

#

anyone done this before? regarding calibrating a switch procon to ffxiv

You... Spend them

#

There's a vendor at the wolves den

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay.
I missed the vendor then. Thought no one accepted it.
Thank you!

lunar flare
#

i just tried it, switched to gamepad mode and my character just doesn't move

#

the left joystick adjusts the camera, the right moves the mouse?? and the b button jumps

lunar flare
#

holding both triggers makes the player move oh

remote lintel
#

did you enable pro controller in the steam controller settings

lunar flare
#

yeah i clicked on that button

#

and nintendo button layout

remote lintel
#

was that before or after you launched the game

lunar flare
#

i think before?

#

yeah

remote lintel
#

in system config under gamepad do you have the right gamepad selected

lunar flare
#

under device?

#

only one option. xbox 360 for windows

#

i assume that's what it thinks it is

#

but i launched thru steam as a non steam game to avert this very issue

remote lintel
#

try restarting

lunar flare
#

was it correctly mapped the first time you launched it as a non steam game?

#

for you

remote lintel
#

the controller worked but it uses the Xbox layout so you have to change the binds

lunar flare
#

it is working, but feels very limited. do you also have to use ZR+ZL to run?

#

and is the right joystick also completely useless for u

remote lintel
#

no

#

would close the game and make sure you have generic controller also ticked in steam

#

and no other controller programs running

lunar flare
#

oh didn't have that ticked

#

ok

#

ok right stick works now. run still mapped to right trigger + left trigger

remote lintel
#

calibrate it in game

lunar flare
#

it tells me to lift my left stick up then does nothing

#

do i just skip

remote lintel
#

does it work in steam calibration?

lunar flare
#

might be because i have legacy controls?

#

but idk if that carries over to pad

remote lintel
#

that doesn't matter

lunar flare
remote lintel
lunar flare
#

yea idk. the controller works, but it's very strange. r2 is left click, l2 is right click

Pretty sure that falls under rasism

It's not derogatory

"lalafells only" isn't racist lol

many linkshells exist for specific communities

#

Is there a way to find out if other players are suffering from the same issue as me when trying to connect to home realm?

open coral
#

You can ask

long lintel
open coral
#

002 is a lobby server error

long lintel
#

What does that mean?

heavy wadi
#

that's an internet issue

open coral
#

That's a network issue or an issue with the servers themselves.

#

All you can do is wait it out

long lintel
#

I see. ok

open coral
#

Give it half an hour and then try again

long lintel
#

Alright, I'll do that

#

Thanks

open coral
#

If it's just a standard network issue, then the routing commands will have found other ways by then. If it's something bigger, then there might be a Lodestone announcement.

long lintel
#

I have a vpn installed but it's not running atm, I dunno if that can interfer at all

heavy wadi
#

double check it's not running

open coral
#

The issue is that the data isn't quite making it from your PC (client-side) to the servers because of the route it's taking through the network.

#

Your VPN could be causing that, if it's running.

long lintel
#

aha i should perhaps try to restart my computer after having turned it off maybe that'll do someting

#

Well I already started reinstalling the game because I didn't think about that before

#

or ask

Anyone know where I start the new msq?

faint flare
#

Rising stones, same as where the msq ended

#

The msq tracker will help

open coral
#

When in doubt, just enable the MSQ tracker to see where you need to go. That's what I do when I can't remember where I left off with required chain content.

Fun fact 6.1 doesn't end in the rising stone so 6.2 probably won't start there

waxen siren

remote lintel
#

open coral
opal crystal
#

so I just do the Main story now? I've been focusing on the lancer quests and hunting log

open coral
#

Yes

#

Your current job quests show under the msq tracker when theyre available

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.

faint flare
#

Always look at this

remote lintel
#

do your job quests when they pop up

faint flare
#

And do the quest labelled 2

open coral
#

MSQ locks a lot of content, so you should always prioritize that if you're not seeing some content you think you should be seeing.

opal crystal
#

do the label 2 ones disappear if i do the label one?

open coral
#

No

remote lintel
#

no

faint flare
#

No

#

They're different things

#

The top is MSQ

open coral
#

The label 2 ones are bluequest content that relate to other kinds of unlocks.

faint flare
#

2nd is mandatory side content like job quests and mounts

opal crystal
#

so if I guess right the mount quest will also be there

open coral
#

Things like job quests, or required side content that you have to do in order to progress the MSQ as well.

remote lintel
#

the #2 ones are very important side quests

opal crystal
#

Sorry I'm kind of dyslexic

open coral
#

It's alright

autumn anvil
#

You can't really go wrong with going for label 2 ones first, and then the big ones after that.

opal crystal
#

Ok ty for the help

open coral
#

If you click on the item in the tracker, it will show you where to find it.

opal crystal
#

I also have a bunch of things in my inventory, I didn't throw anything away just in case i need it for a production class, is there a way to deposit things somewhere?

remote lintel
#

sell them to a vendor

faint flare
#

If you're not on trial

#

You can get retainers which act as a bank

opal crystal
faint flare
#

But stuffs easy to get back so just sell it

alpine current
#

why does nobody do extreme trials?

autumn anvil
#

People do them, just not in the duty finder.

alpine current
#

cant find them in party either

#

unless i havent unlocked the ones people do yet

remote lintel
#

if it says locked duty then you haven't

alpine current
#

theres not any really regardless

faint flare
#

Then make your own

#

If there's no pfs for a thing you want to do, make one

sly saffron
#

You get wolf marks from pvp right?

faint flare
#

Only pvp

sly saffron
#

Ok thanks

cunning oasis
#

can someone explain to me like im 5 why people find so much value in gc stuff?

#

i haven't touched it at all

open coral
#

Grand Companies? Because they represent both an easy way to get things like glamour prisms and ventures, and a source of mid-to-high-value items for resale on the market board.

cunning oasis
#

oh gotcha

open coral
#

Also at Captain rank you have access to 3.0 and 4.0 loot boxes which can drop rare minions which can be resold.

#

Sometimes you just have to start your own PF for them

#

Basically all of the ARR and HW ones can be soloed (with a couple of minor exceptions for mechanics).

alpine current
#

i just need the ifrit extreme for my quest

#

but ye im lvl 55 xd

open coral
#

Yeah, then make a PF to do it unsync and offer your first time poetics as a bonus for the carry.

little fulcrum
#

I forgot how to calculate. What's the maximum number of Umbrite/Crystal Sand do I need left

alpine current
#

how long do you think itd take to find someone or do you need a full party?

#

not sure how it works

umbral dune
#

are you intend to sync or unsync?

alpine current
#

i have no idea

#

its my first time so

open coral
#

With a level 90 to carry you? You need one person, and it will take a minute to clear if you're unsynced.

alpine current
#

and itll complete my quest?

open coral
#

Yepp

alpine current
#

o ok ill ask someone i know later and see if theyll help then

little fulcrum
#

Unrestricted Party

umbral dune
#

quest only require certain objective, not the way you done it

alpine current
#

gotta find someone for reg odin too XD

little fulcrum
#

Not really, put up a PF and just need 1 lv90/80 guy to come in and sweep the floor in 10s

alpine current
#

XD

open coral
#

All of the ARR extreme trials (including Odin and Ultima's Refrain) can be done unsynced with a single 90 carry to complete the quests.

little fulcrum
#

you dont need a person you know

alpine current
#

ill try but its kinda scary putting one up for the first time

#

gonna do leviathan first though since its the msq

little fulcrum
#

Oh hay yall are Aether, can you help him out ^^

open coral
#

Just put something like "for quest completion" in the description

#

I could, but my lunch break ends in about 10 minutes

alpine current
#

how do you start the dungeon when you get someone?

open coral
#

Ugghhh, Gale's right though. I can make this very easy for you. Give me a minute and I'll log in on my Aether 90

#

I can run you through real quick

alpine current
#

alright ill just leave the levi queue then since im only 6 minw in

elder pendant
#

can i still get back the ilvl 430 class gears from the salvager?

open coral
#

Is that that Shadowbringers gear?

elder pendant
#

yeah

open coral
#

ShB class gear you have to go back to not-Geralt in the Tempest for

elder pendant
#

i see so i can throw it away and get it back again whenever?

lunar flare
#

i have to go to thanalan to have access to glamours, can i go there on my own accord before a MSQ tells me to go there?

oak lily
#

if you started in Gridania

lunar flare
#

did not

#

limsa

oak lily
#

then you can't

lunar flare
#

thanks

boreal storm
#

You might as well just follow the story, it’s not like the quest is going anywhere

lunar flare
#

yeah doesn't look like i have a choice

faint flare
#

Msq is mandatory so

lunar flare
#

yeah just picking off random side quests

#

so i was curious

faint flare
#

Yellows are basically worthless

sleek needle
#

It's fine to do do side quests but it's definitely not mandatory, it's mainly for lore

faint flare
#

They're there for lore

lunar flare
#

the ones with a plus sign

#

whatever they

faint flare
#

Those unlock stuff

#

What do all these quest icons mean?

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

sleek needle
#

Yep, those are good - usually

lunar flare
#

yeah i'm doing those

sleek needle
#

They unlock something

cerulean gale
#

There's occasionally a green one with a good reward as well though

lunar flare
#

golds have pitiful payouts from what i've seen and idc about lore/story

#

avoiding those

sleek needle
#

Green? thinkcat

boreal storm
#

Yeah, those don’t exist

cerulean gale
#

Might be my colourblindness acting up

sleek needle
#

Green is just for turning in completed quests

#

Ah fair

lunar flare
#

prob talking about blue

cerulean gale
#

The sidequests with usually bad loot can occasionally give something nice

sleek needle
#

Yellows

#

Yea they can give you minions and whatnot

oak lily
#

yellow's can sometimes turn into blue's

cerulean gale
#

I figured. Those are the 2 colours I can't distinguish well 😆

sleek needle
#

That too

cerulean gale
#

Meteor Survivor Ring is a yelllow reward

#

And it seems pretty good

Can you get duplicates from salvager btw?

boreal storm

It says it in the tool tip

Like that (but also in game)

cerulean gale
#

So the salvager can sell non-unique stuff. Rolling back to the original question then.

#

Can he sell duplicates?

sleek needle
#

I'd assume so
