No.
The arrow means scaling
It's scales based on your level and the dungeon you get
It doesn't say a value because it scales based on the difference between your level and the level of the content you're given.
The adventurer in need bonus is minuscule compared to the daily roulette bonus. Generally not worth going out of your way to get.
Yes.
whats a better way to get those tickets for promotions?
For SMN, do I keep delaying Phoenix/Bahamut or do I let Searing Light go out of sync?
Unless you have a ton of sps then it lines up naturally
Phoenix/Bahamut has a recast of like 57 seconds, and SL has 120, so that's like 2 GCD offset every cycle?
What's your gcd
2.39
Yeah you have too much if you're not going Speed summoner
Using augmented cryptlurker, still just leveling it. I assume later pieces have less of it then
Just delay for now
delaying is fine unless you know you will lose a use from your kill time
if you're leveling, legit don't even worry about it
Working on that muscle memory, may as well
In terms of delay, all you need is one extra ruin per cycle
That’ll keep things lined up
is there an lfg for ff14
Party finder
For which duty?
nvm i eat my words i got a queue
it went from all 0 after 15 minutes
to suddenly party found
Yeah, that's called the roulette.
hm the roulette ?
doing titan on hard btw
Yeah, it helps fill parties that aren't filling quickly, so that people who are doing old content aren't left out in the cold.
But it does take time, since you're not the only person queueing for things like that.
15 minute waits are fairly standard, just be patient and either find things you can do at the same time, or find out-of-game things to do.
So about the queuing, see this is what I’m talking about, I press a spell when on the gcd and it doesn’t cast once it’s over
in the party finder can you see people queueing for that type of content
or did i understand it wrong
party finder =/= roulettes
Yes, for that content specifically. Other people queue for random content through the Roulette system, and are matched to incomplete parties as both groups rise up their queue list and meet the duty requirements.
There's an upper limit on how early you can queue
Something around 1 second I think
thanks kinda sick
allright
i'll keep that in mind thanks !
Titan (Hard) is in a list for Trials Roulette.
well not both per se
roulettes allow players to get endgame tomes and gil and such from doing old content
since this is a lvl 90 job, leveling roulette gives me stuff that isnt exp
is there a way to disable the confirmation in the inventory when you want to get rid of a collectable?
This incentivises high level players to queue for content that they otherwise wouldn't want, or even need.
whats the required amount of people that you need to do DR savage?
Delubrum? I think 1
After 10 minutes you just get tossed in
Hey folks, How can I know if a boss can be stunned or interrupted ?
!faq interrupt
what about the stun?
There's a handful of arr bosses that can be stunned like ifirit normal
nice, thanks a lot
Anyone else been getting this error tonight? Haven't been able to log in since this morning
Question here. I bought endwalker today through the SE website and I’ve been waiting 11 hours for my product key. It keeps saying it will be available soon. Is it normal to have to wait this long? I know the store can be a bit slow sometimes but this seems pretty bad.
it should arrive in your email in way less than that time
i would contact support if it just isn't there, and verify your payment info
Yea payment went through, I can see the charge on my end. I put a ticket in, guess all I can do is wait.
The “Tank You” achievements label exactly what works for progressing them.
Level 61+ dungeons
Level 61+ extreme trials
Unreal trials
50/60/70/80 roulette (once per day)
Leveling roulette (once per day)
For the “But Somebody’s gotta do it” achievements, it’s mainly normal/savage raids, extreme trials, and 24-man raids.
Idk if this goes here but are you able to purchase crysta with a prepaid card like a visa?
Uh oh
I bought my copy of the full game with one so I'm not too sure
SE uses paypal though right?
Yes
Yes, you can buy crysta with PayPal
So if I load it onto my paypal??
Going through PayPal and buying crysta would work yeah
Alright. Cuz I got a $20 visa prepaid and wanted to use it here XD
I’ll load on paypal and then use it
You should be fine.
Much appreciated!
left or right one
Well. Do you want mgp
Or do you want something from Khloe.
Personally, I'd choose the right one. Because mgp is easy to obtain.
Is anyone else having any issues with the Aether data center? I could log in fine on Primal, then did a data center travel over to Aether. I'm just getting error 2002 on attempts to log in, and cannot get her back home to Primal now
@leaden ginkgodumb question but what can i do in the golden saucer tbh
never done anything there
Gold saucer is mainly vanity and cosmetics
what does chloe give
If you talk to her, there should be a redeem option
Where you can see all the items
You can back out of that menu and look at her commendation exchanges
where is she
I’m not sure if some are level restricted, but bronze will have a couple minions
Idyllshire
Idyllshire. Where you got your book from
okay
I'm looking for some advice on a situation and idk if anyone here has any ideas. A few months ago, I transferred data centers/regions to join a close friend's static. The static didn't pan out, and the friendship ended on an extremely sour note, and I'd like to return to my home region. However, in the intervening time, someone (possibly ex-friend, I'm not certain) has made level 1 alts with my name on every world of my original home region. I've had my character since 1.0 and he's had his present appearance and name since HW, so I would really rather not change it. I ticketed SE making a case that it was harassment, but they've declined to intervene.
Is my best bet to wait for new NA servers/DC and hope I can get his name on one of those? It will put me in a rough spot for raiding next tier so it's not ideal from that sense, but I'm not sure what else to do here.
Playing FF14 on a controller, should I have the auto attack option there? Because I auto attack after using a separate combat ability anyways
And that would make more room for another ability
So I don't need that hotkey as a controller user basically? My friend said otherwise but I think that may be cap
your friend is lying
there's no time where you have to manually press the autoattack button
Oh well thanks
I have another question. Is there an option besides using x/square to hard lock on?
So I'm level 35 and I want to start the Paladin quest but it's not showing up. Is there anything I have to do before it?
!faq 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.
The story
level doesnt matter nearly as much as msq
Again you have to progress the story
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
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.
do that
Don't be aggressive bruh
He's just a noob here
do you have a question or
What is the best way to practice tanking?
.....
dungeons are great for that
Just run a dungeon with NPCs if you’re not comfy with actual players yet
There are smith tutorials look for those @mystic merlin
Smith tutorials?
Scroll up idk what else to tell you haha
and it was answered
Not the second one...
how many fates/zone do you need to do for max shared fate
66 each zone
oh that's not that horrible
quick question: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/vu755n/fashion_report_full_details_for_week_of_782022/
according to this, to get the 80 points i need a vest with cactuar green dye, and the scion adventurer boots
but i'm only getting 78 points
am i doing something dumb?
!fr
yep
Blood red specifically
is there a discord for Delubrium Reginae?
to complete the new path of resistance step
My game crashed while data center travelling, could something happen or?
#resources has one for crystal players
no
Alright, thanks
bit of a dumb question but endwalker on steam includes the previous expansions as well right?
yes
thank you
I am on primal but I will join anyways
better idea here
Hey folks, does the shield give paladin extra defensive stats compared to other tanks?
nah
only for blocks
I see, thank you
It’ll be 2 weeks come Tuesday
You have to go to Khloe in Idyllshire
thank you
Eh I don't get this post.. sorry
What does it mean?
whats dc transfer ?
Hello, i bought the wrong key for endwalker, is someone interessed in EU Endwalker windows key ?
DC travel is visiting a server or datacenter on your region different from your own
E.G: Going from Light DC to Chaos DC
that's possible ?
It currently is
but why would you ever pay for a transfer then
To go to friends fc
Or something
Some personal reason
Transferring is not available rn because of datacenter travel bloat
Just remember that travel does not equal transfer
dumb question but is your char stuck to the same world as well or
What do you mean
in the sense of do you have to pay for world transfer
No everything goes with you
Including name nothing is left on the server you transferred off of
If you wanna change your name you gotta pay $$$$
no i mean, eh probs dumb question but i just don't remem it anymore
if you choose a world is your char bound to the world or are worlds more like channels plays play on
sounds so dumb asking haha
You can play on other servers you just won't be able to access some things like mail, buy a house, join an fc
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
Congestion
mb, that means ?
Alot people using it at one time
why do so many people go to crystal then
Balmung, rp server
there's no info yet when dc transfer is available again yeah?
As it turns out many people are interested in seeing RP in FFXIV
but tbf man why the hell would you do E RP like cmon man, i can't blame the people going there to watch them do some shamefull stuff
And the memes
They haven't shut off DC travel.
It may just not be available at certain times depending on congestion.
You’ll do it too soon, only takes one visit 
lmao hahahaa
Oh oops this is #questions-and-help mb
So my girlfriend just finished her level 30 arcanist quest but the lost but not forgotten scholar job quest isnt showing up for her
Can somebody help?
Did you go to the arcanist guild
Mhm thats where we are
what do i pick ?
No blue quests tho
There's no one there with a marker over their head?
Hmm
And you did all the job quests?
Nope and there was for me when i did it so im.confused
Yeah she just did the level 30 one
No, it's just not showing the character as it says
!faq job

Log in as normal @stiff fiber
Have they done lvl 20 msq yet
No
ok ty ty
If there's no lodestone post then no info
Not a damn clue
All you can do is wait
!action clemency
It gets reduced at a later trait iirc
OH Yeah cause my level was synced to 60 because of Antitower Bitter Memory farming, my bad!
Ye 64 trait
Go for the minions everything else is useless
i didn't know once i claim my stuff the rest dissapears too lol
next time i keep my book longer
There's no reason to keep a completed book
You're just risking it expiring in 2 weeks
Or overwriting it with next weeks book
do u need 2 tanks for savage exdeath and kefka
afaik no
Exdeath is soloable
I cleared it with a light party
Kefka yeah 4 man prolly
okey
i bought the starter edition which includes a realm reborn and heavensward do i need to buy stormblood shadowbringers AND endwalker to have "everything" or is there somewhere a version which includes all 3 for a cheaper price ?
ahhh thanks man! So only Endwalker 😄 why is it displayed so stupidly on the website
because some people only have stormblood or shadowbringers
🤔
when it says my gear doesnt meet the strength requirements does it mean the gear i have on outside or inside the dungeon o:
Your aetherpool stats yes
Aetherpool is saved between runs so just repeat lower levels until it's high enough
Yes
You'll be running low floors until you get enough... Think requirements for 51 is like +13 or something
Depending on ques and playtime, probably a day or two
Is there a way to summon the red or yellow carbuncle by your side anymore or is it just the blue
with potd? good 5 hours yeah
might wanna just do dungeons at this point
/Petglamour
To glamour it
Need to unlock it at arcanist guild at lv50
Ty vin
Just unlocked RPR but its 5:30 am so headed to bed but was gonna do a bit of research beforehand so went to the balance discord but what do they mean with opener cuz i see s whole string of abbilities, isnt it just a rotation at that point
Or am i missing something
It's the opening of a boss fight
The optimal order of abilities to use at the opening of a boss
Assuming 0 resources
Since you zone into raids with no resources
fights last around 8-10 mins in savage, so no those are not rotations
Wait a min, are these 100% droprates or am I just getting stupid lucky?
100%
welcome to "why the fuck even do bozja" for those steps
It also said I can do Daily Roulette once per day and also get a bitter fragment?
correct
also 100%
Multiple sources
3 different sources for them
Daily roulettes, 60 dungeons and bojza
I don't see anything labeled as a rotation there tho
Cause rotations are literally
"do your combo and don't overcap gauge"
Basically do your job basics
ye
When i went to balance for blm they just gave me a picture of what to do in what order
I was hoping i would find the same thing for rpr
for the whole fight?
Reaper is flexible, blm isn't to an extent
When they say "Daily Roulette", they mean this, right?
leveling only
it do say it on the quest
Nah just basic combos from start to finish so i can get an idea
Rotations for literally every job in the game is just
Do your job basics
Keep your debuff up
Do your 1 2 3 combo
Don't overcap gauge
That's it
Is the gauge the red meter ?
You have 2 when you get enshroud at 80
Patch 6.05: Crest of Time Returned now 250 potency total. Now a bit less ludicrously strong.
Patch 6.1: Hell's Ingress and Hell's Regress now 20 seconds, shorter animation for Regress.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of doing this job as the first melee you pick? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new ...
that should answer your questions when ya wake up
Thanks ! I'll give it a watch
They even have a tutorial solo instance to teach you how to do reaper
After getting it
To teach you the basics
Also diff question why is, well i at least hear it alot blm is considerd a hard class ? Is therd something pushing it in endgame ?
Bcs it needs to stand still ?
Cause BLM wants to stand still
But the game will stop you from doing that
Cause mechanics exist
You need to use your movement tools smartly to maintain uptime
And be smart with leylines
Hmm ok
theres a few things to watch out for yeah
All jobs benefit from knowing the fight and it's timeline
Blm benefits the most from fight knowledge
Not the channel for duty help
oooop
On Tuesday, it will be 2 weeks since World transfer service was disabled
(shb spoilers) why does this zone have 60 vs the rest with 6?
oh lol, sorry i wasnt really sure how shared fates worked
What do people buy from the GC seals typically?
if u reach captain rank u can buy materiel containers 3.0/4.0 that can drop minions and rarely mounts
Huh. I was actually trying to rank up asap for the Flame Lieutenant coat since it looked pretty good but
And all the glam prisms you could ever want
Hey man getting seals is a joke, get all the things
fair enough. not that far away from lieutenant
so if skipped realmreborn how do i learn skills that would come up in the msq
ooh ok
Not recommend to buy story skip without job skip
However job skips only go to 80 so…
i only skipped the beginning part of the story though dont the job skips skip you to like 80
yeah
Just do dungeons and such until you get to lvl 50, won’t take too long
Spamming dungeon but it gonna takes long without MSQ exp
oh no
now you need to do cll and DR
hope you've been ranking up in bsf
MSQ in BSF finished, Zadnor unlocked but not touched
is there a way to more safely retrieve these?
negative
Pray
@modest igloo I dont get it, do I need a higher rank to continue relics?
Im rank 14
So i can glam pets to any other pet but ifrit is always invalid
No matter how i spell it
Garuda and titan work fine
Not pets Egi
I know the commands it just keeps saying invalid no matter what i try out of those
Im going insane
Only for ifrit
Idk why
Show exactly what you’re typing
It works for garuda and titan just not ifrit
It says ifrit egi is not a valid pet name
wow that system is old af
whats the command for the pose ppl do as summoner and scholar where they just read the grimoire infinitely
you mean when they unsheathe their weapon?
the default button for that is Z
i think
I believe you mean /cpose
wait cpose has a default button?
well when you unsheathe out of combat, by default you auto cpose after a few seconds delay
you can turn that off and just remain in the "ready to attack" pose
or you can just go straight to the cpose through the command
no you auto switch
after a customizable delay
unless you turn it off
I have mine enter it after a second
2s for me
But yea iirc cpose for sheathed/unsheathed isn't auto on by default
idle animation delay
could have sworn it was on by default since i recall as a sproutling I used to unsheathe and wait to see the pose
but it's also been like, 7000 hours since i was a sproutling
yeah it just isnt a default
i remember my friend teaching me it in like sohm al 
just type /cpose while your weapon is drawn @flat wigeon and it'll change to that
i see
thank you
Can I add/be added to friend-list while playing the ff14 trial?
Paying players can add you, that’s it
Do I get more XP by resetting Palace of the dead?
Or is it better to continue beyond lvl50
Technically you do get increasing exp payouts per floor set but good luck getting those to queue. It's much more time efficient to just do 51-60 on repeat.
Is it possible to migrate my free trial character to a different region? (Currently in the Japanese one)
Not currently it isn’t, as the world transfer service is down
51-60 generally has the best exp/queue ratio
Thank you😄
And free trial can not use homeworld transfer service, one of the requirement to do so is to have an active subscription
anyone on primal servers experiencing server issues?
hey i just got the game and im trying to do passing muster. where can i find a headpiece level 5 or higher. im a lancer if that matters
When did they make it so u actually need to put the endwalker code from steam on mogstation i dont remember that being a thing
I thought it auto activated
There should be a merchant right by the NPC that wants item level 5 and higher items
Only PlayStation doesn’t need to enter codes. It’s always been a thing for the other platforms
thanks
Do I need rank 16 to proceed with the relic grind?
I have Stage 1 completely done and glowy, yet there is no next quest
(at least, I don't think there is)
what is the best build for a companion chocobo ?
You can max out everything on the chocobo
You just need to feed it thavnairian onions to progress from lvl 10 to lvl 20
yes
well, I think Gerolt has the quest that leads into the 180/180 grind
but the last step of the relic DOES need completion of the bozja story
Thank you, was looking on akhmorning and couldnt find the reqs
The 180/180 grind is available after completing the quest "A New Playing Field", which I'm pretty sure is the quest that gives access to Zadnor.
Yeah, I just lacked the mettle for it that's all
would I have better luck for raid drops if I ran it synced in the df or
unsync has the same drop chances as synced.
and if it's something you can solo, all the loot goes to you.
Still same drops, but you still need a decent number of people, 3 minimum as it's an alliance raid
I recommend 12 or more for speed
Once you beat DSR, you can get the Cerberus Mount just like how you did with Proto Ozma, right?
ye
Which is better for this?
CT Spam or BSF?
Also, why hasnt the Relic Quest taken me to Zadnor yet?
relic quest doesn't take you to zadnor, bozja quests itself do
personally i would do a combination of both
ally raid roulette daily and bozja otherwise
but if you were to try and knock it out ASAP probably bozja now
Oh, so ALL of the Relic Quests are just contained to one zone this time? That's kinda boring.
they've buffed the drop rate since the original quest iirc
and you'd also get mettle too
Isnt there a step where you can ONLY get the memories from CLL runs?
If so, I am dreading that.
Huh, multiple people have told me that the CLL step was awful for some reason.
It used to be worse but they buffed CLL to give you 3 or 5 per run I don't remember
So I have to stay in BSF for all the steps, I can't go to Zadnor and also get the mats?
i just got cul to 90 but I don't see the calamari recipe, do I need to farm some scrips and buy a book first?
yes, you need master IX book
got it thank you
Oh ok, I'm on the Loathesome Memory Step, but I'm sad that I'm missing out on all the mettle from Zadnor Skirmishes and CEs...
I'm only gonna max out Stage 2, cause Stage 3 looks ugly to me for PLD
Does endwalker msq give any mounts?
Do you have any photos of what it looks like?
Too bad, it’s a plot mount
Fak
I was expecting some alien mount to match the endwalker theme
Of the moon or what ever was ij the trailer
Fun fact, it does match the Endwalker theme
Which world should I make my character on? I've noticed that some websites display a list of unofficial communities that developed in certain worlds. Some of them claim that there's worlds that most streamers are at? Is it true? If so how can I find which worlds has big population of streamers?
Any of them
Even if you join a world with a streamer on it, it doesn’t make any real difference
Why it doesn't make any different? What do you mean?
There's very few things in the game that are server-specific
You can use world visiting and datacenter visiting to visit other servers in your region with minor restrictions
The main notable restrictions to world/DC visiting are that you can't join FCs (player guilds) on other servers, you can't sell items on the marketboards of other servers, and you can't own or share housing on other servers.
When you say other servers you mean NA, EU, JP or a specific server within one of them?
Servers being individual worlds in a datacenter
DC visiting doesn't let you leave your region.
So for me, I play on Gilgamesh as my home server, which is on the Aether Datacenter of NA
If I wanted to, I can use world visiting to go to other worlds on my datacenter like Adamantoise and Cactuar.
If I use DC visit, I can visit Primal and go to Diabolos or Leviathan, or to Crystal and visit Balmung or Goblin.
I cannot use DC visit to go to the Chaos datacenter to visit Cerberus, as that is an EU datacenter.
So if I sign up to one of the EU ones, am I able to visit any other EU ones?
Yep.
Is the friend list also shared, like can I add someone from different EU server?
Friends list works across servers, can't remember clearly for other datacenters.
World visiting is (usually) pretty instant, while datacenter visiting has a bit of a queue time to it due to being a new feature and people using it for the hype/novelty
Thank you so so much 😄
how to know the possible drops of a hard or extreme trial? also is there like an info panel about the boss and its mechanics that I can check before going in ?
Google to both
The game wants u to learn mechanics by doing the content
But it's appreciated if u read a guide or a video before u jump in for extremes
noted, thanks a lot
hard trial is just a 8-man version of normal trial and only exists in ARR and HW
so you don't have to worry
for extreme, yeah just google and youtube in general
Extreme
But arr+hw extremes can be done solo at lvl.. 70/80 And above so most ppl just unsynch grind em
oh I see
half of the HW extremes do want you as a tank due to the damage of some mechanics not able to be done with a single person
but yeah, level 80+ as a tank can easily do the HW ones
what do you do to level crafting job from 71 to 80? more ishgardian restoration?
I mostly did SHB leves. best to check and compare prices of materials if you feel like spending gil
There's also the Dwarf Tribe that you can do for daily experience.
if u havent done the crystarium deliveries yet, they're also good
yeah, they're a cheap one-time source of EXP and white scrips
so it can help with gearing up if you don't have the level 70 scrip set
When I made an account for ff14 trial on Mac I couldn’t login in to it from the Windows launcher, is the trial user locked to certain PC/ OS?
yes you can only get trial for 1 system per account, and pc/mac are each its own license so if you want trial for pc you would need to make a new account and start fresh
Is it only locked per OS or 1 device generally, like can I play the same trial account on 2 Windows PCs for example?
Hello, I'm wondering if they've taken out Raids I type Orchestrion rolls out of the poetics vendors. I've been trying to buy rolls like Teardrops in the Rain but I don't see it there. I'm at the vendor in the Foundation
are you sure it's the HW poetics vendor and not ARR one or something
Rowena's Representative in Foundation definitely sells the Teardrops in the Rain Orchestrion Roll
Combat supplies > Mounts and Miscellany tab
Nothing regarding this has been removed
It may require you to have cleared some or all of the Mhach raids
there is no system locking, you can play the same account on as many computers you want
but yea, you can only have the trial on one "type" of system
mmmm maybe I didn't clear the raids. but yes it's not there for me
so you can't register for the trial on PC, then play the same account on PS4/5
Thanks 😄
once you buy the game you can play on both PC/MAc/PS4/5
AS long as you buy the game on each platform, subscription is cross platform, but you need to own the game on them first (because each have their own storefronts that likely want their cut)
I need to level a ranged dps for glams, which one has the simplest rotation?
they all have fairly simple rotation, but dnc is probably the easiest of them all
if you're just leveling for glam, dancer also just starts at 60 so you're already 2/3rds of the way there
What is the best way to communicate with a group of people in FF14 while on trial? I've just found out I can't join FCs 😢
What time does duty finder roulette reset everyday?
!daily
Ty
just /say chat tbh
u can get invited to linkshells by a paid player
What's linkshells? 😮
like a groupchat
What's the different between /say and just typing in the chat?
/say has a very small range
Whenever you type in chat, you are using a specific chat mode
free trial players cannot access the other ones, like shout or yell.
Shout covers the entire zone
your current chat mode can be seen to the left of the chat input box.
If you have not changed it to anything else, the default is /say
which is just visible to players in a 20 yalm radius around you
press o
click the blue button at top right, community finder
find them on the website
make sure to search within your world, as there are linkshells (your world only)
and cross world linkshells (that goes, well across many worlds)
there are tags, info on what they do, times they play, etc, etc
Gotcha 😄
How rare are the anima crystals supposed to be? I got 3 of them in 1 try but now im on my 5th fate and havent gotten it
we dont have any hard numbers, but they're not that rare
3 on the first try is pretty favourable rng, but not getting after the 5th is also not the worst either
rng heh, yeah but I heard It's already nerfed
It doesn't take that long if you do these FATE as BLU/MCH
Im WHM Lol
How do i know when the housing lottery is over? It doesnt show me anything in my timers besides results being in progress..
I thought saturday was the day
does story skipping through stormblood not level your character? because i thought it levelled me to 80 when i used the shadowbringers one
Story skips only affect the main scenario quest, not your character's level
huh. well thank you!
um?? i just didn't see it is all? it was just a question
I'm not sure there's a great way to see this in-game, but the new cycle starts ~5.5 hours from now.
need to go to residential district yourself
dis may sound like stupid question but do i lose all my Astronomy totems if i dont use then within a week?
No
If that was the case you wouldn’t even be able to buy most things
You are only locked to receiving 400ish a week, but you won't lose them if you save them.
im no scientist but it caps at 450 and the ChestPiece is about 800 so if my math is correct it should take 2 weeks to get that right?
thanks i understand it now
Np
First time MSQ typically give a decent amount of exp right?
Yes
You typically won't have to grind to get to the appropriate level. There may have been 1 or 2 times I had to do a dungeon to continue the msq. But it's been a while
Okay cuz what I wanted to do was continue through msq until I hit endwalker and then swap my main from dragoon to reaper. Obviously I have to hit 80? Ish on reaper but
only need 70 to unlock reaper
But they are talking about doing dragoon up until endwalker
Then switching to reaper
So yes, you will just need to get reaper to 80, then you can continue.
well, unless you really want to finish shb as dragoon, i would just pick up reaper at 70
and use it to do shb
Does reaper automatically come at level 70?
yes
Yes
I'd recommend taking it into Lower level dungeons so you can learn the job first.
But what you decide to do is entirely up to you.
The unlock quest for reaper more or less covers how it plays
Yeah 100%. I don't know what to do with a ton of new skills
so don't really think going into lower level dungeons is particularly necessary
not to mention reaper's rotation is pretty easy
And from what I understand, dragoon and reaper share similar gear right?
how do you view a Free company profile?
im in one currently and just want to view the profile of it
social > free company
thanks
Is the 5.0 end raid weird in some way? I've been in this queue for 90m, and was in the queue for the dungeon immediately prior for 53m.
Are you NA?
The pool of players queuing for old content gets thinner the higher level that old content is. It's not uncommon especially outside of peak hours.
I'd recommend trying again during the evening.
It is the evening, and I didn't have nearly this long times for end of StB Dungeon and Trial.
What datacenter are you in?
Materia.
I've been here for months, though and never had this level of queue for a MSQ bit, though?
alliance raids aren't msq thou
of course MSQ stuff is going to be more populated, its the story people are doing and need to complete
optional content, by the very nature that its "optional" will have less people doing it
you said raid 😛
the level 80 trial is also just having people either queue for it or be a high enough level doing it for trial roulette
In that there's 8 rather than four people, yeah.
trials aren't raids, trials are trials, raids are raids, go figure
and yeah, you just have to wait
You also said stb which is 4.0
can always do it unsync by putting up pf
Warriors and samurai don't have a cone AOE anymore?
they do not, no
Why?
To make it more user friendly
some people just hate cones
And yet they love ice cream
cones require aiming and can easily miss the group of enemies by targeting the wrong one.
I don't really like making most of the conals into circular aoes, but that's likely the reasoning.
So learn to aim it right. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to do that
Imo it was just uncomfortable because wars second aoe is a circle
That too
also please don't post reaction gifs, thanks
hey with the housing revisions to ward classifications, will the houses be Free For All in 4 hours on wards 10-18?
ohh thank god
Having a cone AOE thought you how to move though. I've never really played savages or ultimates much, but isn't movement important in those things?
Just for private buyers now
aoe
savage
pick one
conal aoes don't really teach you how to move, and savage/ultimate fights are almost predominantly single-target encounters.
Wait,... They're are more wards for public housing now?
There is technically a potential for free for all to come back but that would be it's own announcement
hey I have a silly question but I am stuck on this quest and need some help
Watching #lodestone-news-na does wonders
Avoiding enemy AoEs teaches you how to move just as well as aiming your own. Beyond that, this isn't really a topic for Q&H anymore.
That was 2 weeks ago I think announcement
Ask away
I just came back to the game, so I'm out of the loop
Fair enough
how does the marketboard sort works? I know that its sort by lowest price first but then what? I see people selling the same items as me at the same price but they are shown at the top and me at the bottom, its not alphabetical and its not lower quantity first
It's lowest price per item first
I am trying to do the lance of fury quest and it says I need to have the class/job DRG which I assume is dragoon but I am a lancer and when I go to my character class it shows Dragoon/lancer am I doing something wrong
So which new wards will now be for private homes?
Put your job stone on.
we are at the exact same per price item
Put your job stone on
How do I do that?
10-24
Armoury chest, the one that looks like a jewel
The job stone slot is the equipment slot below the rings
prolly cuz they put their item up after yours
so its newest listings first? thats stupid
it is what it is
Wait.... Why did take away 2 wards for FCs? Not complaining, just curious
got it thanks @obsidian patio @warm snow @eternal spear
It was 18/6
And most of the fc wards were empty as a result
In empyreum specifically since the other ones were pre populated
Ohhhh
Sooooooooo...if I were to go for house, which area is the least popular?
Goblet is generally considered the least popular
they are all popular
housing is extremely limited, people will take anything they can get
but besides the goblet, the rest all seem pretty popular besides maybe the lavender beds being a bit 'less'
So just try your luck wherever
I'm on Aether
If Gilgamesh is a sign, then you'll likely only have the plots in Ishgard available
with very slim pickings in the other districts.
When do the new plots become available?
Wait until a few hours before lottery closes, stake out the lowest bidder ones, profit
its 5 days per voting right?
think so voting end should be on the placard
I've voted on both the first day and last day before. There is no real difference
yea cuz its not like you gonna win anyway 
there is a mathematical difference between a 1/10 and a 1/64 chance 
plots with hundreds of bid, literally lottery rng
I've had a 1/6 chance when the lottery started and still lost
a chance is still a chance, duh
but having less people in the pool, means you have a higher chance to win
its very simple math
This round your best odds will probably be in Empyreum just through sheer volume.
doesn't mean you will win, and saying it makes no difference because you lost, is just silly
What do you mean by that?
I see. I thought most people would go for Empyreum cause it's the new place
for most servers, it's also the only place with open plots.
So wouldn't that make it the most sought after area given the amount of plots available? Or do players like the other wards so much more than that place?
It might be relatively popular yes. But looking at my server, there's around 200 plots on Empyreum, and single-digit plots on all the others.
(maybe 20-something in the Goblet)
But again, you don't really know how popular things will be until a few days into the auction period. 😄
Just following up. I logged in and can confirm that there are a ton of free plots in Empyreum on Aether/Adamantoise
ive gotten this error twice in roughly 2 and a half hours, anyone know why this is happening? the first time it happened i clicked "Do nothing" when I was going to some housing place and the second time it happened I was just clicking on an npc to talk to him for a quest
the first time it also didnt say anything about directx, although it was the same error code
is it even possible to achieve this?
Yes
is there a monk rotation guide for level 80?
Patch 6.08: Phantom Rush now 1,150 Potency. No use changes.
Patch 6.1: You cannot use Perfect Balance with Beast Chakra in the gauge. No real issue here.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Monks how to Monk p...
When you unlock it
Is Monk still a relatively complicated job to play?
totally different compared to shb if that's your question
It's quite similiar to NIN in a sense, I found it really comfy
it lost its postionals for most of its gcds in exchange for the beast chakra system for perfect balance
it's somewhat like ast's cards where you'll need to get certain chakra to execute monk's burst
except its not rng
you basically have to do certain combos to get the gcd you want
which is rly cool imo
But has it been made overly simple to the point where it plays no different from other jobs?
nope
still very different
I was asking if the changes to it had made it user friendly to the detriment of the job the same way people have said for the likes of Samurai and Warrior
yeah they got rid of 4/6 of the positionals
just snap punch and demolish left
I'm okay with that change, though only taking 2 away would've been better
I played it before the change and it was too much
thats what people said about kaiten so /shrug
And that is why I asked about Monk. Takign away Kaiten was a big mistake. I was asking if something like that happened with Monk cause playing Samurai now isn't worth it imo
dont worry, soon all postionals will be gone
And I'll probably not play a melee class if that should ever happen
if your enjoyment of a class is determined by a single skill change/removal, then maybe you didn't like it much in the first place
Totally not what I was talking about, but whatever. My question has been answered.
it do be button bloat ye
is there a list where all the leve quest givers are
you shouldn't miss it if you pick up every blue quests along the way
i thought that site was outdated
is there no leve quest higher than 58 with killing etc
not really into crafting rn
correct
yeah they discontinued it
combat leves are pretty worthless
yeah, people usually do FATE
they do battle leve just to do that zodiac weapon quest usually
ok
whats better for farming poetics - msq roulette or 50/60 duns?
Yes
eureka/bozja
but yeah roulettes then prae/arf depending on que times
well im free trial so no eureka for me
Where do I find the ingame lore book again? I am drawing a blank. lol
Nvm found it
But now I have another question. How do you add to it?
do i need progress enough into SB tro be able to see the lv 70 poetics trade in kugane?
i see no info on this and im allready lv 70 at the mid of SB
as with all expansions, complete the main MSQ
you need to complete the main scenario quest "Stormblood" to see them
ARR/HW are the only two times you can trade poetics before completing the final .0 msq
noted thx
Can an 81 reaper solo drowned city of skalla?
i would hedge my bets and say no, maybe possible but with great difficulty
even at 81, 70 content is sorta not a pushover
grab a few friends imo
Fair, tanks only or just stop putting off msq and hit 90?
Yeah, fair, may just need to team-up.
likely tanks only, would do MSQ to 90 to at least have one under your belt for unsyncs
you can solo it as a healer

did it on whm during shb, though with the stat squish might be a bit more tedious
Hmmm, may try that once then finally do some story, heh
personally though i would just say to push to 90
epic echo probably makes it the same
it would be easier in the long run
and yeah i agree, even then 90 would be the best if you dont' need loot from skalla immediately
Yeah, I ground a 70 to 80 in time for Endwalker...burning myself out too much to play it, lol
you can definitely do it solo as a tank at that level, not sure about any dps though
speaking as someone that solo'd skalla during shb as war
Yeah, I'll just get caught up., ty all
what do i tell a sch who spam casts physick in a level 50 dungeon. i'm not a sch player but im pretty sure thats wrong
Try to tell them to use adlo and lustrate
But uh
Prolly gonna have to single pull 😦
'hey you're doing well but i notice you're not using some healing tools. would be good to, maybe?'
avoids commanding them while framing it as a friendly suggestion
and if they're like 'nah' you aren't committed to an argument
appeals to that 'it's fine but maybe you could actually use your actual healing tools'
does recommended gear only account for item level?
Item level and mainstat
So like strength and vitality for tanks
Unless you’re a tank pick the gear with the higher DPS stat
From past experience, will the current best scrip gear be able to make the 5.2 crafted gear?
No on both accounts
6.3 is next crafted gear
I mean
Crafted raid gear
There should be a set coming
Sigh
And can the scrip gear make pactmaker? IIRC that’s the best current crafter gear
6.2 will however feature new crafted scrip gear
Pentamelded pactmaker?
yes
I think you can get away with it?
the scrip gear coming in 6.2 might be able to make pactmaker
but you'll probably need food/pots
Can that make the raid gear? (Also hallelujah I couldn’t meld that if I wanted to)
pretty much if you intend to do any real serious crafting at end game
you should be in crafted gear and melded
scrip gear generally either doesn't meet or just barely meets the stat requirements
Great
I’ll just uninstall ff lol
its recommending me a shield with lower blocking rate and chance but higher item level
Correct
Use that
why though?
oh yeah block rate doesnt matter
ah alright, thanks
higher ilvl = always better
is the blitzring worth getting?
!item Blitzring
yes
Is there a way to increase the size of text that is being typed? Before it goes to the log.
Do i really need to do the a relic reborn quest to get to learn more job abilities?
a guide seems to say its a prequest to get more abilities
No @ivory blade
You don’t get anymore job quests until Heavensward
well, im almost 58 and there's no quest given to me for new abilities nor at guild or at the guy in eastern la nosc
im missing like 5 abilities tho
because you're still in ARR
abilities are tied to expansion
you need to get to the next expansion for lvl 50+ abilities
is there a way to increase the zoom out range?
no
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
so when i see vids of ppl with bigger zoom range ists from screen resolution?
@ivory blade
ya i saw, thanks. only 7/30 on seventh astral so bit behind 😄
@hidden garnet no, the zoom range is the same for everyone
you probably think it's bigger because the ui is smaller
might be :3
Anyone have an invite to the housing discord?

When do machinists pop wildfire?
before or during overcharge
ty
does critical hit materia effect heals?
thanks
homeworld transfer when?
When it’s stable. They’ll tell us when that happens
so never, got it.
Does Inner Release work for KB immunity against cape in P4S?
Is it possible to get a Drk before reaching Ishgard/leaving basegame ARR (without postgame)? I have a Lvl 50 Drk (not lvlcapped) rn at msq ultima and hes doing it for the first time.
Are you sure they’re the new one?
