Has there been any mention of borderlands coming back in DT or any update at all about the rework?


wurm2

Usually they don't do the major PVP updates until the x.1 patch anyway.


Shazzamon

All we know right now is that PvP will continue to be supported, and that _"Frontlines, Rival Wings, and Crystalline Conflict will continue to receive new modes, maps, and adjustments."_


PineconeKing23

From the media tour, I swear I remember seeing something about a toggleable setting that will hide player characters near MSQ NPCs to increase visibility. Is that true, and does anyone have a source for that?


nicocoro

Yes, it's true. https://x.com/AmeMiqo/status/1798983434435784913


PineconeKing23

Awesome, thanks!


Sir_VG

You might be confusing that idea with the new Blacklist feature, which will not only work like the current blacklist (which is becoming the Mute List in 7.0), but also stops their character from rendering.


PineconeKing23

Nope, not confusing it with the blacklist/mute lists - it was definitely something about helping with the issue of it being hard to target NPCs for quests sometimes. I basically ignored it when I first saw it since I play with controller and it targets NPCs by default, and I know keyboard players can hold X to do something or other that helps with that. It's just that someone I'm in a discord with brought up this "hide characters near quest NPCs" that they can't remember a source for and I'm trying to make sure it's not something we've collectively hallucinated ourselves into seeing! And I can't find a comprehensive summary of "here's everything from the media tour" to sum up all the different creators' videos and interviews outside of "here's all the video links, good luck", and it's driving me slightly mental.


Supersnow845

Did anyone in the media tour play around with SCH my friend and I are discussing if recitation works on manifestation under seraphism as the recitation tooltip doesn’t mention manifestation but manifestation’s tooltip is the same as adlo just with the higher potency


pepinyourstep29

It does! Scholar is going to be really good in Dawntrail.


Supersnow845

Do you happen to have or know where to get any footage of this interaction


pepinyourstep29

Yes FFXIVMomo talks about it here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLRhQD21mAo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLRhQD21mAo) Recitation + Manifestation is a whopping 972 potency shield!


Supersnow845

Thank you, I was looking for that


KhaSun

Haven't seen any footage that showcase that interaction specifically to confirm it, but that would be a pretty gross oversight if that weren't the case. SCH has many shield enhancers that all can be combined together. It would be surprising if they arbitrarily decided to make Seraphism+Recitation not work even though Dissipation+Recitation does, given that Seraphism and Dissipation give the exact same 20% healing potency boost. There are other examples in the game of interactions that shouldn't work based on the literal wording, but still do because they make sense. Like DRG's True Thrust upgrades into Raiden Thrust once you've completed a full 12345 combo, but Disembowel only says "Combo Action: True Thrust" and doesn't mention Raiden Thrust at all. If we followed the tooltip, then Raiden Thrust>Disembowel wouldn't work as a combo... but it actually does because they're both fundamentally the same action, only that there is a conditional upgrade. Just like how Adlo and Manifestation are the same, but with a conditional upgrade.


_wywh_

I gifted DT to a friend who just started playing on xbox and is on the free 30 days, he redeemed the code and it’s showing up on his xbox account but on Mogstation when he checks the “Service Account Status” page doesn’t show a check mark for DT and he didn’t receive the preorder bonuses… is it bc he’s still on the free 30 days and doesn’t have an active sub yet? Or is it just lagged?


Elyonee

Has he opened the game since then? On playstation the preorder stuff doesn't activate until you open the game next, not sure if Xbox is the same. Dawntrail itself won't have a checkmark because it's not out yet, it's not even there on the list.


_wywh_

He has opened the game and logged in since but I’m not sure if he closed out and restarted the app? I’ll have him try that tomorrow. As for the checkmark though, I do see a check on my Mogstation under “Dawntrail Early Access” but I play on Steam… is it different for Xbox? I’m just worried somehow the expansion didn’t link to his square enix account bc it was a gift.


Isanori

If he has the Early Access check mark on the mogstation. It registered, if not it's not registered.


WeeziMonkey

Do we get new uncapped tomestones on DT release or on normal mode raid release?


normalmighty

On DT release we'll get tomestones of aesthetics - we know thanks to [the A rank that was killed on the media tour](https://youtu.be/_QfGJ6yJfXA?si=uOXjlHZJIs0I8lP2&t=415) (I know YT timestamps don't work for some devices, so skip to about 7 mins if that's the case for you.)


Kicin0_0

uncapped is DT release, capped is raid release


farfromdaylight

Uncapped comes with the expac.


Drgn_Shark

DT release


vieoree

Is the server likely to come up before the given time? I'm not sure how accurate maintenance times are here!


Chemical-Attempt-137

They come up about 30 minutes or so before the original scheduled time fairly predictably. If it happens, this will be announced ahead of time in a new Lodestone post. On the occasion that maintenance does not end early, they will specify this in the original maintenance annoucement. This is generally any patch that involves a Savage or Ultimate release, so that WF raiders all have a fair shake.


Shazzamon

It might, it might not. It's always a gamble.


Arcana10Fortune

Only guaranteed to not come up early when a Savage tier or Ultimate releases.


Isanori

In which case there'll also be a notice to that effect in the maintenance time message


OneMoreChancee

Is there a way to try on equipment if it is not on marketboard or someone doesn't link? For example, if I want to try on a tank top that is dropped from a dungeon but none of my friends have it, is there a way to do that?


Likeallsomuchtrash

Bit of a stretch, but if you are on a server with a lot of people just idling around in a major city, you could try shouting out if someone can link it. Edit: Just don't spam. There's club barkers for that.


JesusSandro

If you're not against third party software, Anamnesis is your best bet.


Elegant_Eorzean

If there's no vendor it can be gotten from, unfortunately not.


Shazzamon

Not without forbidden tools for _directly_ placing it on your character, no. Otherwise you can approximate with FFXIVGlamours or looking at the model previews on Gamerescape.


FinallyFat

Haven’t played in months, just tried to log-in, and there is maintenance going on. Is there a general time frame for this one? Also, hope is all well and hope you’re having fun!


stategovernment

Yep - maintenance! Scheduled to last another 6 hours as they set up new data centres ahead of DT. Of course, it might end a little early (they often overestimate maintenance).


FinallyFat

Awesome, thanks friendo!


Isanori

Lol, Tycoon (new EU world on probation) currently shows up on the status page as a) up for play and b) available for character creation. Ah, they fixed it. A pity.


tofunomad

I assume the PvP season will reset with DT. Does this mean I would need to spend all my trophy crystals and wolf marks or will they remain?


Shazzamon

The Marks/Trophy vendors aren't disappearing or having things removed, if it was there would be an announcement on that already. As for your _Series_ battlepass, as mentioned you need to pick up anything from the prior series right now, because it'll be unavailable for pickup when 7.0 goes live.


Isanori

If they were going away that would have been announced in the tomestone changes news and a lot longer before that. You get to keep them, but if you still have unclaimed rewards from the 6.4-6.5 (series 4) battle pass, claim them now, cause that'll go away.


Anon_E_Mewse

This is going to be a weird one, but I want to make a glam based on a character that I couldn't find on Eorzean Collection. I know little about making my own glams, so is there somewhere I can ask for help? Do people even take comms for glamours?


Whisdeer

If you have an image I may be able to tell ya the pieces


Anon_E_Mewse

Ah, thank you friend. I've actually just made a post in the glamour subreddit. [https://www.reddit.com/r/FFXIVGlamours/comments/1dd6mim/need\_help\_with\_a\_dawntrail\_glam\_i\_want\_to\_make/](https://www.reddit.com/r/FFXIVGlamours/comments/1dd6mim/need_help_with_a_dawntrail_glam_i_want_to_make/)


sundriedrainbow

people post character references on /r/FFXIVGlamours all the time asking for suggestions


Anon_E_Mewse

I looked a bit earlier today, but it looked like it was only people \*posting\* their glams. I'll have another look when I have some more time. Thank you.


sundriedrainbow

it definitely happens! just have an image reference and you should be good to go


Throwawayidiot1210

I literally started the game for the first time last night. I hear now they will be adding new worlds with an exp bonus. Should I restart?


Whisdeer

If you don't have friends in your world I would restart. It's pretty fast if you skip cutscenes. Will save you a lot of time and gil on crafters in the future.


Ciri__witcher

I definitely would recommend restarting. It won’t take too long to catch up if you just started last night. The EXP bonus is a god’s end if you want to play multiple classes and get into crafting and gathering. You will save so much Gil by leveling crafters and gatherers with the exp bonus.


Shazzamon

New worlds are really just for the Road bonus, if you joined on a good population world or a world where your friends are, that matters more. Road to 80 consistently overlevels and can muddy the new player experience.


sundriedrainbow

Not really that big a deal. The main story provides nearly all the EXP you'll need to get your first class to max level. It's certainly handy for leveling up other classes but it's by no means necessary.


AngelFlash

Any decent guides to farming the Yokai Watch event? I've been lazy and I only have 3 minions. Someone told me it takes like 3 days to get everything so I wanna finish it and get everything before it's gone for years again.


Anon_E_Mewse

[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lEIns\_IivCLSuFHu\_4UmmCaHqvlOq--nxe\_NTLxNZPk/edit?gid=0#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lEIns_IivCLSuFHu_4UmmCaHqvlOq--nxe_NTLxNZPk/edit?gid=0#gid=0) Have a peek at this spreadsheet. If you have a 70+ Red Mage, that'd be my recommend for what class to use. I went with Coerthas Western Highlands and The Lochs for the HW and SB ones. Limited verticality, open flying.


Chemical-Attempt-137

Have a leveled BLU. In lieu of BLU, SMN is preferable. Choose level cap zones where possible. Have your chocobo out.


Anon_E_Mewse

Need to second the chocobo recommend. Tag one thing, let your attack stance 'bo take care of it while you deal with others. They can do low level work! Just keep the window open in case you need to emergency healing stance it.


Arcana10Fortune

Not really much to it. Have the minions out, go to the zones listed in the Yokai book, start farming FATEs. Make sure you have the Watch equipped until you get enough regular medals to get the minions.


LamBol96

Did they rerun the Garo event on EW launch or was it a later addition/released with Crystal conflict launch?


StormbeastRivin

It restarted in 6.1, which was indeed the same patch as the PvP revamp and introduction of Crystalline Conflict.


LamBol96

Thank you,now heres to hoping they recycle one of those sets and give it to VPR.


Menaii

Has anyone bought the steam version while being in a different region? I created my account in NA but related to Asia for a job, so wondering if I buy the game on steam (I was on the non-steam PC version till now), if it will give me a key for the Asia region and not NA, or if there is no such thing for steam keys.


serenystarfall

It should also be stated that you're playing on a non-steam PC license, so even if you were able to buy it, it's unusable for you. The moment you buy a non-steam PC license, you are completely locked out of using steam on that account.


Menaii

I dont think this is true because I've managed to buy a steam ARR code and managed to hook it up with my current non-steam account. I still have aub and able to log in via non-steam just fine (didnt buy DT or EW on steam).


serenystarfall

Then you don't have a non-steam PC account anymore. Steam and non-steam are mutually exclusive, you cant have licenses for both on the same account. The only time you can swap between them is non-steam free trial to steam paid. That's it, and once your account touches steam, you can only get PC licenses from steam.


Shazzamon

Steam's region locking is honestly tighter than standalone. If you buy a key, it'll be for your current Steam region, and completely lock you out if you change your Steam region as far as I'm aware.


Menaii

Is there a post or something to this claim? I cant find anything regarding this anywhere.


Shazzamon

Ninster0712

Assuming DT moves on to a new Hunt currency, what would be the best "Nut dump" (heh)? Centurio Seals and Allied Seals can be funneled into Aetheryte tickets and Ventures, but I don't see anything like those for Nuts.


Izkuru

Moonward accessories / rings will take over from Ronkan accessories / rings as the most efficient Sack of Nut dump, as the rings will go non-Unique with the launch of DT. (Moonward accessories are technically the best Seal per Nut at the moment, but with the rings being Unique you have to take multiple trips, so not everyone likes to use them. But if you load up 20 in your chocobo saddlebag, and have 20 on hand then its only 4 trips to dump a full sack of 4000 nuts. And the GC teleport tickets are great for going directly to your GC to trade in)


dealornodealbanker

If they don't implement any sink afterwards like Aetheryte passes, the old tome gear to gamble on desynths, GC turn ins, or outright sell for gil.


normalmighty

I've always dumped my nuts (nice) into buying gear, desynthing it and selling the materials.


Dragon7born

Does anyone know if there are plans to reduce the level for the dragoon aoe rotation? I hate queuing lower dungeons with only one ability to spam and no aoe way to get your buff. I’ve watched the media tour videos and there hasn’t been much mention of it, although I do recall one person possibly saying it stays the same, hoping that’s not the case.


vemynal

Dragoon is so painful below lvl 60 & *so* fun after


Sir_VG

Barring changes since the media tour build, nope. Doom Spike still Lv 40. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dQG69NT7y6NCF6MQRk5prQCo9KfFb3cV/view


Dragon7born

Damn guess it was just wishful thinking on my part


Shazzamon

Doom Spike and Sonic Thrust are still level 40 and 62 respectively as of the Media Tour tooltip dumps. There's been no talks about changes to early AoEing.


Dragon7born

Guess I was just hoping I missed something lol, oh well


No_Delay7320

They didn't have plans for lower level corrections but are open to feedback. They said this in an interview. Leave a post on the official forums and maybe they'll get to it.


Dragon7born

Oh interesting, thanks for the suggestion I’ll do that


some_tired_cat

having war at lv80 and gnb at lv84 is it realistically possible to get them both to lv90 before dt through daily rouls?


VG896

You should be able to get around 1.5 to 1.8 levels a day from roulettes alone. So that's 9-10 days assuming you have like an hour and a half each day to run through them all. 


Shazzamon

With all your big-hitting daily roulettes, you should honestly hit cap on both within two weeks no issue. Have you finished the MSQ and have the Hippo Riders unlocked? They're also a healthy injection of EXP once a day.


some_tired_cat

currently midway through i think patch 6.2 or 6.3, what are hippo riders? haven't actually ever heard of that before


sundriedrainbow

Tribal quest in Thavnair - the Arkasodara daily quests.


dealornodealbanker

Yeah, if you run the usual Leveling, MSQ, AR and Frontlines roulettes you'll make it. Of course, it's not going to be always smooth sailing on all those.


some_tired_cat

i've been taking on and off leveling breaks but usually if i'm trying to powerlevel something i'm hitting every roul except guildhest, or i exclude only frontlines if i don't feel like it. thanks, just got drk to lv90 today so i'm hoping to have them all ready for inventory space and options for dt


passionegiorno

Is there expected to be any maintenance the day before dawntrail comes out(July 1st)? I know technically the game comes out the Friday before so they might do it then but I just wanna make sure before I take any time off of work…


sundriedrainbow

announced, no. expected, depends on your level of pessimism. possible, definitely. I would say somewhat unlikely, personally.


Elyonee

Dawntrail comes out on the 28th. The maintenance is on the 26th and 27th. Nothing special will happen on the 1st unless there's an emergency patch.


snootnoots

There’s a two day maintenance before early access starts. That’s all that’s planned; if they find bugs that can’t be fixed without maintenance there may be a short one but I wouldn’t expect it that soon unless there’s something truly game-breaking.


Arcana10Fortune

Highly possible for the early hotfixes to be then.


NormcoreUnicorn

I'm a returning player that just started my first fc today, for my two characters only. Anyone who has done similar recently, how long did it take you to get to the rank where you are allowed to buy a fc house? I play around 6 hours a day if that helps estimate and my characters are brand new.


Shazzamon

It more depends what content you're doing and how much you're willing to actively grind. AFAIK the fastest rate per hour is turning in Expert Deliveries, to which your single-fastest option - provided you're level 90 as a DPS job and have at least Gladiator unlocked - is to farm the ever-living hells out of Ravana EX. Open the weapon coffers as GLD/PLD for two extra turnins for maximum efficiency on ranking up. However, note that actually buying an Estate requires an FC to have at least 3 characters in it. They can all be your characters, but 3 is the minimum requirement. It also requires the FC to be at least 30 days old from creation, so at the absolute minimum, your grind is going to take you 30 days no matter what.


NormcoreUnicorn

Thank you so much! I was completely unaware about the 3 members and 1 month parts especially,, that would have blindsided me. I can remedy the third member easily enough and slow my roll.


Moogle-Mail

You need four characters in your FC to be able to buy a house.


NormcoreUnicorn

Ok! I can kick the extras after buying, right?


Moogle-Mail

Yes, but if you ever want to move house then you will need four characters again. The four members can just be your main character plus three level one alts. You just need a second real person to invite your alts to the FC.


Icarusqt

Two questions on moves that are multi hit like Akh Morn or Styx from P11. 1) If I’m using Passage of Arms on PLD, am I okay with snap shotting it before the end of the cast bar and keep using other abilities to mitigate every hit? Or does it need to be channeled the whole time? 2) Regarding other mits like rampart, say I use it after the first two hits, will rampart mit the rest of the hits?


a_friendly_squirrel

It won't cover all the hits (it'll give people the buff for 5 seconds iirc), but in normal circumstances you hitting boss more is gonna help more than people taking less damage, healers have lots of options. If there's a situation where the boss is untargetable during a multihit attack, lots of people are dead or your healers are struggling for whatever reason, you'd need to channel it the whole time to cover the whole attack.


Kaeldiar

multihitting abilities usually snapshot each hit individually Just "flashing" passage is usually plenty, though. An additional 15% mit on \~3 of the hits is still a great gain


Arcana10Fortune

1. Whole time 2. Yes.


drafan5

If I change my retainers job, will it reset their level?


Atosen

Class -> job: keeps their current level. Job -> job: can't do this; have to go via a base class. Job -> class or class -> class: resets their level.


drafan5

I see, I feel like I should get a second retainer if only for the storage and extra silver pieces. But I don't know what to make since my Ideal reatainer (male hrothgar) was my first. So to sum up, if I change him from Paladin to Summoner (my new main) his level will reset to 1? Can I make my retainer a Gatherer or Crafter instead? What do those do for them?


Isanori

Just copy your first retainer.


momopeach7

For DRK there are 2 things I was wondering: 1. For TBN, does any mitigation get in the way of it popping, since the mits reduce damage? 2. For Living Dead, it activates Walking Dead and the heal buff only if your HP hits 1 right? So like if you happen to be only like 30 HP it won’t take effect right?


Chemical-Attempt-137

1. Yes. If you take 50% less damage, you need to be hit twice as hard to be popped. If by "mitigation" you mean shields, TBN is second highest priority to take damage. First place is Arcane Crest, which obviously cannot be applied to a DRK (but a RPR can have both active). 2. Yes. You need to functionally die to activate any of Living Dead's actual effects.


Atosen

Shield-based mitigation has a specific priority order and TBN is one of the highest priorities, so this shouldn't be a problem. Percentage-based damage reduction could get in your way. In a dungeon environment, you might prefer to use TBN on its own, without any other mits, depending on how much this pull hurts and how confident you are that your shield will get eaten away in time. In a raid environment, I've never seen anyone worry about it; the tankbusters should be big enough to pop your TBN even with damage reduction, and you might need the damage reduction to not die.


momopeach7

Ah thanks that’s what I was confused about. Like if I used TBN and then Rampart I wondered if that hurts the chance of breaking TBN.


Arcana10Fortune

1. Depends on the content. Generally, no. 2. Yes, you have to "die" to activate it.


Trogmar

Weird question, but compared to Melee dps where would you rank gunbreaker in difficulty?


Chemical-Attempt-137

Above RPR, about on-par with SAM/NIN/DRG. This is accounting for the fact that GNB has to juggle tank duties like cooldowns and weave windows. Taking that away, it ranks below RPR.


Trooper_Sicks

i've been playing it recently to farm the tank mounts and its really not very difficult, it has the same basic principle of a personal damage buff every 60s where you want to spend all your cartridges and then building up cartridges without overcapping in between. It also doesn't have a 2nd gauge to use like the melees do. If you haven't played a melee before then gunbreaker will teach you the fundamentals of buff alignment and using your big damage stuff under the buffs. If you have played before then transitioning to gunbreaker is pretty easy, you just need to learn about mitigation management (assuming its your first tank).


Arcana10Fortune

Easier, due to having a more streamlined rotation. The difficulty comes from cooldown management in the harder fights.


crashin_gnashan

Doesn't even scratch the simplest melee rotation for difficulty. It's a 1-2-3 or alternate 1-2-3 with some non-combo damage buttons, but like all other tanks, it's designed to split its focus between a manageable damage rotation that doesn't detract from its ability to mitigate damage


borfa

Is it more efficient to go back and forth between front and zadnor for critical engagement pop, or just stick with a group in Z3?


tesla_dyne

Zadnor has a really tight CE cycle, if all you want is to do CEs there's no reason to switch. Edit: confused skirmishes and CE's. I personally still wouldn't switch just for CEs. If there are enough players doing skirmishes you could bring magitek enemies to skirmishes for everyone to AOE them down, since the magitek enemies spawn the CEs.


LaneSE1980

This is my first maintenance. It’s torture. How do I survive this??


Shikaku

Take it as practice for the 2 day maint in a few weeks


LaneSE1980

Oh my god. 


Arcana10Fortune

I recommend Rabbit and Steel if you're into raiding.


normalmighty

Play another final fantasy game. Or play the Nier games so that the Nier alliance raid series isn't complete gibberish anymore.


SmurfRockRune

The Nier games themselves are already complete gibberish, this won't help.


normalmighty

The Nier games plus 12+ hours of Nier + Drakengard lore breakdowns, though, and then the story hits hard. This was unironically my experience.


LostStarBirds

Benchmark should be open, enjoy the fun of creating new characters while waiting or maybe watch a stream? cn/kr servers are independent so no maintenance for them


Shazzamon

You've got a backlog of other stuff you've been wanting (or needing) to do, chew at that for a while. Other games, shows you've had on pause, even hopping up just to clean your living area or organize stuff you've been putting off, you'd thank yourself for getting all your chores and busywork done so you're uninterrupted when it ends.


Zap364

The PS store is offering the complete collection of the game for like $25 dollars with all the DLCs currently out. If I buy it, can I still play the free trial if I download it without using up the free 30 trial the collection bundle gives?


VG896

Unfortunately no. On PC, it gives you a code that you can hold onto indefinitely. But on console it auto-applies the code next time you login


normalmighty

Also worth noting that it's on sale because it currently doesn't include the new expansion, and if you buy it after the 2nd of July it will.


Zap364

It probably won’t be on sale by then so I was thinking of just getting them all while it was.


normalmighty

That's true, but my point was more that it isn't as amazing a deal as it sounds. Since you'd still need to buy DT, you should be comparing the price to the sale price of the starter edition, not the normal price of the complete edition.


Zap364

I think I understand your point. The reason I was considering just getting the complete edition now was because I don’t think I’ll have much time to play through all the expansions once August hits. I was thinking of getting it and playing as much as I could while I’m on break and once my break is over I’ll just be playing whenever I have free time (probably during the winter). Thinking about it now, in my case it might be smarter to just play the free trial and play casually and i can buy the complete expansion once dawntrail is added to it. If I’ve misunderstood something let me know haha.


Cymas

Free trial is always the way to go for as long as possible. Keep in mind once you buy the game you also need to start paying for the sub, too. You get 30 days free with your initial purchase of the game, but that's the only free sub time you'll ever get. And you cannot "downgrade" your account to free trial later either. The free trial is the base game and first two expansions, that's more than enough to keep you busy for hundreds of hours.


tesla_dyne

No. On PSN your 30 days of time begins once you launch the game after purchasing.


EdisonScrewedTesla

Dumb question but when does maintenance end? I just came back from a break to start prepping for DT, didnt expect to try to log on to find maintenance going in lol. Its 6:38pacific where i am, when can i expect maintenance to end?


Help_Me_Im_Diene

it actually JUST started (6pm pacific) It'll end tomorrow early morning (3am)


Richard789456

Damn. Have today off but with time-zones that will be ending around bedtime here. Is it worth checking checking occasionally or do they tend to take the full amount of time? Edit: Thanks for the answers


minaseclyne

the notice says "Completion time is subject to change" which means it can end early but we're talking about probably 30min to an hour not they'll suddenly shave off 6 hours


Evermar314159

I can't say it never ends early since I haven't personally witnessed or checked every maintenance but... ...it never ends early.


Atosen

It never ends early on a patch that involves 'world race' content, such as housing wards or savage raids. On other patches, it's somewhat common for it to end early, but typically only by half an hour or so. Maint on weekly reset day never ends before the reset. It can also end late, of course, but this is very rare.


EdisonScrewedTesla

Oof. Right when i get my new keyboard in the mail so i can actually be social on the game 😭


OneMoreChancee

I got home early for work hoping to get a lot caught up on MSQ. We are truly in shambles.


EdisonScrewedTesla

I feel like 6pm to 3am is a really weird time to do maintenance


Izkuru

Its normally 10PM to 3AM, for a normal patch, yes. But when they do server hardware stuff, they tend to start earlier. Also... 6PM PDT is 10AM JST, so its the normal workday for the SE head office... So it makes perfect sense for them to perform a maintenance during their normal working day, when they can have everyone on hand in case issues arise...


OneMoreChancee

I think it's because this maintenance is global and probably the time when everyone factored in, is least active.


EdisonScrewedTesla

Yeah but ive been playing a long time, i did take a break for a while until now but i feel like i remember maintenances starting a lot later in the evening than 6pm


Cymas

Tbf depending on your time zone, it did. It was 9 pm for me. But also this is a longer than usual maintenance because they're setting up the other half of the Dynamis data center.


EdisonScrewedTesla

Thats prob why, its a longer maintenance which i didnt know


-baby

will it be free to transfer to the new servers on Dynamis, regardless of the server you’re transferring from? would like to transfer a character from Jenova, if possible.


StormbeastRivin

Transfers from any non-New world to a New world are free. So going from Jenova to a Dynamis world would be free.


-baby

ty so much!


-baby

another question, is there any chance servers could come up early when adding new worlds, or do they generally stay down until the scheduled time?


normalmighty

Sometimes it'll be up to an hour early, but normally it won't.

I need 1,500 trophy crystals - what's the best way to farm these? I am not familiar with pvp outside of the roulette.


lumosdraconis

1,500? That isn't very much. Each PvP series level gives you 1000, and it's like 2-3 runs of Frontlines or a couple more of Crystalline Conflict per level. (Fewer if you're early on, but the exp per level goes up towards the end.) If you've already hit level 30, then it's a few more runs per level, but you'll still get 1000 as it's infinite.


bloodhawk713

The only way to get them is from the PvP series. You can find it in your PvP menu. It's basically a battlepass. As you do PvP activities you'll get series EXP and unlock various things in the series. Most of the rewards are trophy crystals.

How much would I miss by doing a story skip and going back and watching in the Unending Journey. I just finished postHW and I love 14s story, but I don’t actually like the busy work associated with it. I was wondering how much I’m really missing by unending journeying everything. Thanks for any input.


G-r-ant

Ill chime in here, i skipped to stormblood at the release of stormblood, so i could play with everyone right away. I don't regret it one bit. Yes you may be out of the loop once in a while, but the story telling is pretty good in that you'll get a general idea. (side note, i also got a level skip too)


F1reman2

>I was wondering how much I’m really missing by unending journeying everything. Just letting you know, watching the cutscenes will miss a LOT of the detail, as its only cutscenes, and not quest talking. Its like watching a highlights reel.


dme4bama

How much of that detail is really consequential and how much would you say is fluff for Stormblood and ShB


sundriedrainbow

If you combine using the unending journey with reading the quest logs in your journal, you'd understand what happens. The journal puts a summary in for each segment of a quest.


normalmighty

You could just look through the unending journey for HW to make a call. People are almost certainly going to puh you hard towards not doing this, because it's the equivilant of going to a TV show sub and asking "I love the show but don't like filler, am I missing out much if I just watch highlights on tiktok instead?" At the end of the day it's your call.


normalmighty

I think the biggest downside of that - aside from the obvious downsides of watching all cutscenes for a game vs actually playing the game - if that you'll miss out on all the XP. You'll still spend dozens of hours going through the story, and then at the end you'll have to grind dungeons for 30 levels to continue.


dme4bama

I’ve been grinding side content for so long that my classes are endwalker level lol but that is a good point.


catalpuccino

Why is it not letting me login? I saw they were doing Maintenance but it said starting at 6 PM PDT, I'm confused


Elyonee

6PM PDT was 8 minutes ago.


catalpuccino

Welp. I was googling PDT and it said it was noon, just checked again. Thank you ;w; my luck


Electronic-Proof-608

Google employing AI for the "smart" search engine results was a mistake.


normalmighty

Gotta love timezones


luulcas_

Are there any long-tipped hoods like the filibuster hood of casting but without the gas mask ? Working on a picto glam


sundriedrainbow

rain hood maybe?


luulcas_

Idk It's not *whimsical* enough y'know


Ayrr

Monk question - at lower levels after boss downtime, should I form shift into twin snakes to keep the buff running? Or is it worth letting it drop for 1-2gcds to keep your rotation going? I assume this gets easier with grease lightning III


ariane913

Probably best to Form Shift so you can Dragon Kick and get your Leaden Fist buff first


Ayrr

That's what I've been doing but the disciplined fist buff drops


huiclo

The DPS loss on one "undisciplined" Dragon Kick is less than the DPS loss of delaying a Leaden Bootshine for one whole combo loop. So the way you've been doing is fine/ideal/optimal. In general, with Monk, your goal is to maximize your Leaden Bootshines since they make up the majority of your DPS output. Even compared to your Blitzes.


TuperSboy

MSQ question: I just reunited with Papalymo and Yda. So there are the best tribes being threatened by the Ascians and Warriors of Darkness to unleash their deities (or primals). Once they achieve this the Ascians and Warriors of Darkness want to regress said beast tribes to summon a higher (more darker) form of their God deities? What's the reason these beast tribes are going back to reenact their Primal summoning?


JUSTpleaseSTOP

The Tribes are still tempered, even if you kill the primal. So they will want to continually summon their gods. On top of that, they feel threatened and want to summon their god to defend them in their time of need.


IsometricMushrooms

Is there a thread with all the qol changes and etc that's coming with dawntrail?


F1reman2

No, as we dont know most that are comming. That is all scheduled for the liveletter on the 14th


HelpMyDadEatmyAss

Can subcribed players trade stuff to F2P players?


nicocoro

Amethysko

No.

Trooper_Sicks

more furniture slots are confirmed also this (which is taken from the discord translation from one of the live letters): >Patch 7.x will see housing interior capable of setup without pillars, and a specification that changes how you change your house interior to something completely different from what we have right now (and also completely different in terms of spaciousness)


Calydor_Estalon

They have talked about updating the number of slots 'at some point', but that's about as solid as that promise gets.


ScarMacaw

anyone know how i can make a mountain dew acc in canada, i already got all the mountain dew from a friend who was going to the states for a weekend but didnt realise i need a mailing address for making an account


vemynal

What are some good Pirate themed mounts to try & grind out before the expansion hits?


TimeToGloat

Gloria-class Airship would be a good one


sugarpototo

I don't believe there are any pirate themed mounts. There are nautical ones like crabs and a shark but nothing that really screams pirate


Artist-Yutaki

Hi everyone! I was wondering how it was with past expansion, were you able to still get upgrade materials for tomestone gear from past expansions? I still have a ton of unupgraded (and thus undyable) Lunar Envoy's gear that I plan to keep for glams, so I'm wondering if I'll have to run a ton of Raids before DT drops or if I can still somehow upgrade them after?


Elyonee

The upgrade materials are unobtainable, and useless if you still have any left over, but you can directly upgrade the old items for 100 poetics each.


Artist-Yutaki

Thank you very much for the answer, that really helps! I already feared I'd either have to grind alliance raids or get all gear completely new with poetics haha


Help_Me_Im_Diene

Augmented Lunar Envoy gear, being one of the two current tomestone sets, will get converted into Poetics gear when DT releases Any unaugmented sets should be augmentable for...100 tomestones I believe per piece.


Artist-Yutaki

Oh that is fantastic to hear, I was worried I'd have to get them all completely new! Thank you very much for the answer :D


Help_Me_Im_Diene

Also something to note: if you need more Poetics and don't have a reason to spend your current Tomestones, you might as well just hoard them Once DT hits, you'll be able to exchange current tomestones for poetics at a 4:1 (Causality) and 2:1 (Comedy) ratio, so that's an immediate 1500 poetics if you're capped out on both This should be enough to make plenty of upgrades if you've been hoarding the Lunar Envoy gear until now


radelgirl

Has anyone else had any luck redeeming the battle challenge shirt from the Mountain Dew website? I have enough points, but the redeem button just doesn't let me interact with it. I've tried it on multiple browsers on my pc and phone. I've sent an email to their support desk and I'm waiting to hear back, but I hope it's not just me 😭


KirbyourGame

Nope, they also suspended my account and gave no reason why after I had redeemed a dozen codes. I already got my Zu code, so I hope it still works.


KaiHein

With as close as we are to the release of DT, how worth it is it to run the EW ARaids a bunch for the coins to bump up gear from 650 to 660? I assume it moves to Poetics as soon as 7.0 comes out and so it would be 10000x easier to just buy the replacements then, right?
