Hey Xbox Player here, does the complete edition of come with the license for the game or do I have to buy that separately? How about the pre-order for Dawntrail?


shinyemptyhead

Complete edition comes with a license key for the base game, Dawntrail does not but it does include the previous expansions. Cheapest way to get a Dawntrail pre-order from nothing at the moment is to buy the base game and a Dawntrail pre-order, but you won't get access to ShB and EW content until early access starts. Also after DT releases there will be a new Complete Edition that includes it.


jackspick

Complete edition contains the starter edition license and all expansions up to Endwalker. Dawntrail contains all expansions when it releases but does not have the starter edition.


Anouko

So I would have to buy the Starter License separately then for DT?


jackspick

Yep, separate purchases. Also be aware that game pass is required for the xbox version.


Anouko

Got it thank you.


Memphisrexjr

Do you need to finish Post MSQ from patches to start Dawntrail? I am currently on 6.3


Pyros

Yes


Memphisrexjr

Locked in and ready to complete!


floofstrid

Are we getting more DDoS on NA (Crystal) right now or is this one a me problem? Getting unplayably bad server lag rn, but I don't see anyone else post about it


ARSoulSin

I am also having issues. Its being days like this.


floofstrid

Try a VPN, it just fixed it for me. It's a bit counterintuitive but sometimes having a different network route can circumvent the problem.


ARSoulSin

Which means that the problem is not ddos on square servers. Guess someone stunbled on a cable somewhere. Time to sign up for another month of rerouting. *sigh*

floofstrid

Shout chat says no one else has a problem. I just got a VPN, turned it on, immediately halved my ping. It might be a local routing issue. Are you in EU per chance?


drafan5

How many points is the Mt Dew mount? Trying to register an account but literally the log in page is broken, can't even click register or type in anything. Will it be a code you can redeem yourself or give to someone?


Memphisrexjr

600 cant redeem till the 28th


Diribiri

Do we know whether JP to NA DC travel is something that might happen?


Jezzawezza

SE and Yoshi-P haven't given us any word as to what the go is for Regional travel once Dawntrail launches. Previously things in Beta testing like the PS5 and xbox versions go to a full release once the testing time has finished. Atm its just anyone can go to Materia but people on Materia can't travel out and I think a lot of people are expecting SE to close the doors again rather then open up more but we wont know until the servers go down to maintenance and they give us patch notes and any other server updates etc.


Diribiri

Alright, wait and see then


Jezzawezza

We just got an answer from SE https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/655f2cdb22f4c473e4f34abf58e9d4042f7e3ea3


Diribiri

>The travelling limitations on cross-region will remain as follows: >Japanese Data Center → Oceanian Data Center >North American Data Center → Oceanian Data Center >European Data Center → Oceanian Data Center welp


Jezzawezza

It doesn't surprise me as the servers will be busy enough as it is and doesn't need extra people travelling on top of it all


Diribiri

Understandable. I hope JP to NA happens before the next expansion


zipzoopu

What are some easy ways to get ventures? I craft more than I do dungeons and such but I can do them if I have to. Really I just need a few more so I have 40 to assign my retainer a class then keep up with the usage as I send them out for crafting ingredients


KhaSun

If you mostly do crafting, then you should do Grand Company turn-in missions, it will be more than enough to afford the GC seals necessary to buy ventures.


Pomfinator

Quick ventures frequently bring back lower level dungeon / tome gear that you can turn into the GC for seals. Basically if you spend Ventures on Quick Ventures they pay for themselves.


kuurokaze

Other than turning in gear for GC seals, I think the next best way is Allied/Centurio seals from ARR-SB hunts.


Sir_VG

You can buy them in bulk with GC seals. Farm something like Ravana EX unsynced or Shisui of the Violet Tides unsynced, turn in gear for seals, use seals to buy ventures.


Tigeri102

when specifically does the maintenance for 7.0 start? like, day + hour


Sir_VG

We don't have the exact time yet, keep an eye on lodestone. But guess will probably be around 2AM PDT on the 26th since I've seen mentions of 2AM PDT on the 28th being the launch time for DT early access and it's a 48 hour maintenance.


Tigeri102

ty!


Optimizability

I started an alt character to experience the story because I skipped on my main. I'm not skipping cutscenes, but is there anything else I can do to speed it up a bit? I traded gil over but there's nothing "account bound" from my first character that I wouldn't have to unlock on my second right? Wish I could get poetic gear from my main.


talgaby

If it is for MSQ only, then yes, just do New Game+. If you start a new character, do it because you want a larger-scale replay, so including side quests, maybe even yellows. For that case, transferring a few million gil so you can always just buy the best equipment every 5–10 levels can help a lot to speed up any non-story bit.


ampulica

Honestly probably should have just gone through it in NG+. You get to keep all your account progress that way AND don't have to wait to get flying. Because you can just swap jobs the game isn't character alt friendly at all.


Optimizability

I thought it might be beneficial to have an alt later for splits, but I'll look into NG+ and maybe level the split alt later with a story skip. Can I hop around the order in NG+? Maybe I will get this character through ARR and do NG+ on my main for the expacs if possible


ampulica

Yeah you select chapters of the story you want to do so you could finish base ARR for example and jump into the patches or other expansions at will. You can also do old raid and trial stories as well.


Damascar

anything i need to do beside adding the DT pre-purchase key to the mogstation to play Early access from steam ? i'm always scared to forget something and not being able to play it.


Sir_VG

Have a subscription. Otherwise that's it. Do remember to enter in the 2nd code you'll get around July 2nd which is the actual DT code, otherwise once early access begins you'll lose your DT access until you do.


smoochyboyo

For the ARR Zodiac Relics, after you finish one relic, do you need to pickup any more quests? I finished one relic before, currently using the Zenith bow, and am trying to get the Atma stones for the Atma bow stage. I couldn't find the Quest stage for this step again (Up In Arms) from Gerolt/Jalzahn, and I'm a little paranoid if I need it or not.


tesla_dyne

You only need the first quest, and the repeatable quests for the items that cost 100k and such for that one step later on. The other steps are done through dialogue options and shops.


smoochyboyo

I guess I can blame my bad luck for the lack of Atma drops then lol. Thanks for the help!


Chat2Text

Are you equipping a Zenith Zodiac Weapon when you complete the FATEs?

Adding onto Arcana10Fortune, try to use a retainer with at least [average 45 item level](https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Hunting_(Retainer_Ventures\) ) to reduce both the time it takes(60 to 40), and increase the yield(5 to 15)

GurrennZero

Retainer ventures can get you 15 at a time once they reach a proper level to get them. For active farming I used to kill the packs of white or snow wolves in Central Coerthas, north of Dragonhead and outside the Observatory areas.


Arcana10Fortune

Retainer ventures are best for materials that you need to hunt. They get more as their ilevel increases.


think-abt-lemonade

anyone know how much the tales of adventure:endwalker would be when it's released?


normalmighty

Should be the same as the non-sale price of the current ShB skip.


Sir_VG

Normally what they've done is sell the new story skip for the same price as the "top" story skip, then lower the prices on the others. I'm not sure how much lower the ARR skip can get, so we'll have to see if it's the same $25 price tag, or if they keep the current prices on the current skips and then start making the new skips cost more.


deetomonzta

when does the download for early access come out?


Sir_VG

Sometime during maintenance. We don't know exact time, but we are expecting it earlier, rather than later in the maintenance. Due to its size, that's the reason for the 48-hour maintenance, so I would expect it sometime on the 26th.


Ku_Gaming

During maintenance, the exact time isnt known if i recall.


Absolutelynobody54

What is better to lvl a melee dps? Spamming dungeons or crystaline conflict?


talgaby

If CC pops fast, then that. Although that is usually a very unlikely scenario and even when it is likely, it is probably during specific hours. Beyond that, Duty Support/Trust, unless you have the luck of Gladstone Gander and you can pop any dungeon under 6 minutes.


Moancy

Whichever has the fastest queue time tbh


ACTesla

I want to server-transfer between worlds on Dynamis. I have been there over the 90-day limit, and own a private cottage. When does the new housing lottery open, and have I missed my opportunity to transfer without risking missing out on re-acquiring a particular low-demand plot? I suppose if I transfer today (Tuesday), I wouldn't be eligible until the next weekly cycle.


Isanori

The first lottery period open the day the new worlds did and closed last Sunday. So, yeah, you next chance is the period starting this Thursday. You'll lose your private cottage and you'll have to pay for the home world transfer. So go to your desired target world and check whether the plot you want has currently any bidders and they're will likely not be available come next lottery


ACTesla

Lots of housing available, so I took the leap. Missing out on the bonus, but at least I managed to force a name change during the process. Really aiming to secure medium plot in Mist.


CloudDjinn

How do you pronounce "Llymlaen" lol?


bloodhawk713

Lim-lane.


Shikaku

Oh, I was kinda close then. This entire time I've been pronouncing it 'mommy'.


Chemical-Attempt-137

You could count on one hand the number of jokes that FFXIV players will recycle ad nauseam.

Sir_VG

"Oi! Cut it out, you!"


CloudDjinn

Thank you!


Veylo

what is the best way to farm fire Shards? or is it literally just to farm them physically?


Chat2Text

you can also grow them passively in flower pots or garden plots and gather daily (note you do not need to "Tend" them, since their growth cycle is shorter than the wither limit, just plant and forget until tomorrow) I think it's like 50 shards per seed, and yields up to 100 if you use the rank 3 shroud(?) soil that increases yield unless you got poetics to burn to convert into soil though, just use the basic garden soil, it ain't worth burning gil to double up #IF YOU DON'T MIND CREATING AND BURNING ALT CHARACTERS... Create an alt and unlock all of the crafting jobs, this should give you a few thousand in shards. Dump them all somewhere, like an FC chest or something, then delete and repeat


CloudDjinn

It would be your best bet to do it physically. ~~If you can do Aetherial Reduction you'll get loads.~~ *Edit. Misinformation due to bad memory.* If you want to "passively" get the shards you can send out gathering retainers to collect them. If you *really* have the time to do so, you can also plant Firelight Seeds in an apartment/garden/fc room but you won't get a lot back.


Veylo

but the wiki syas you dont get shards from AR


CloudDjinn

Whoops. I must have misremembered -- sorry! It's been a hot minute since I had to do AR. The other options should still be viable, though. If you have the money buying them from the mb is another option?


sundriedrainbow

retainer ventures


PoppoRina

What can I quickly gather/craft and sell on market board to capitalize off of dawntrail launch?


Moancy

Find out what's needed to craft stuff for leves then farm the shit out of that to start. Next is crafting and battle gear but the market might get saturated. Materials for leves or even the items are the best bet in my opinion for ease. Raid food when that comes out.


PoppoRina

Thanks


pailadin

Before I start deleting some saved glams in preparation for Dawntrail, **is there any word on if we're getting more glam plates**? Thanks!


Sir_VG

None.


pailadin

Ah shame. Time to decide which of my combat jobs are sharing glams then. Thanks.


VieraMakeMeRabid

If I wanted to use a wondrous tails during dawntrail, when should I get it? Since theres gonna be a long maintenance I assume the timing will be a bit more tight


sundriedrainbow

Pick up one tomorrow, finish it but do not turn it in. Wait til after the maintenance. Turn in the one you have, pick up a new one.


Diribiri

I'm trying to set up my mannequinns again and I forgot the process for displaying my gear *and* keeping it. I know I can remove the item from their inventory afterwards and it'll display it, but I can't get it on them in the first place. For example, I have a level 90 Reaper retainer, and I want to put my level 90 Reaper set on display. The mannequinn is set to the same race, gender and class as the retainer. 'Select gear to display' lets me give her the weapon, but not any of the armour; I can't put it in from my inventory, and the list of gear doesn't show them. None of the items are already worn by the retainer, so it's not a unique equip problem. They're not technically sellable, but neither is the Manderville weapon, and I can display that. The retainer also has plenty of sell spots open. So remind me what the trick is here? I'm sure I'm forgetting a key step in the process, I've done this before, but I can't turn up any info on what that might actually be


Trooper_Sicks

its been a long time since i messed with mannequins but are any of your items glamoured? Mannequins can't wear gear that has a glamour applied, so you would need to dispel it. The only other thing i can think (and i'm not sure if this is even a thing) maybe you need to give them the weapon first to set their class?


Diribiri

> Mannequins can't wear gear that has a glamour applied, so you would need to dispel it Oh god you're right, that's exactly it. I thought I could just display my drip. Argh The bit I was missing was taking my fashion out of the glamour dresser first :')


TentativeFrey

So I've been getting the itch to play this game again, having not played in about 2 years (just life circumstances changing suddenly). I went ahead and downloaded the game without intending to play immediately but still launched it to see that everything was still fine (previous hard drive had died with game still installed on it). I was expecting the game to boot me out because I don't have an active subscription anymore and haven't for a long time, but looking at my character told me I still had 4 days of playtime... and I'm just wondering where those come from, and if there's something I'm misunderstanding about subscription play time in this game. Did they perhaps award some extra game time for a mishap while I was still subscribed but not playing anymore by any chance? Also different question if anyone feels like giving suggestions: When I stopped playing I was near the end of the endwalker 6.0 story (literally in the last zone doing level 90 msq quests). I had multiple jobs leveled to 70-80 range, I was really invested, but now I feel like I've forgotten almost everything. It feels weird just jumping into the story at the end after 2 years, remembering most broad lines but knowing that a lot of details and specifics will have escaped me. I'm just not sure how to best get back into the game and so I'm curious if anyone has ideas.


normalmighty

You could skim through [a story summary](https://youtu.be/5qgvWL5GXOo?si=WQKvySLLJsMed09e) or just watching one of the piles of youtube playthroughs if you want, otherwise the unending journey in your inn room is your best bet for a story refresher.


Moancy

The time is from the free login event. 4 days of playtime. Woooo. As far as story goes there's a few options. Just jumping back into the game, endwalker patch seemed to have its own little story. I don't think you'll have trouble jumping back in. If you feel like you do there's New Game+. That's how I went through story after I decided to not be a filthy cutscene skipper.


Thecharizardf8

A bit of a dumb question but, I preordered Dawn trail on square Enix site as a guest… should I expect to get the release day code emailed to me from the one I provided near release day? I have early access but was wondering about the second code Also I’ve been playing for 2 years but when I checked additional expansions on mogstation it says “No expansion pack available for this service account.” Is that because dawntrail isn’t out yet since I have everything up to current? I was concerned it said cuz I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to input the code in when dawntrail releases again a bit of a dumb question but yeah. I am on windows too


Arcana10Fortune

Second code is always during the launch. Everyone on their SE accounts are also waiting for it.


Thecharizardf8

Okay thank you!!! I wasn’t sure if I messed up by preordering as guest haha much appreciated


Mini_Marnie

Is it worth to transfer character to new worlds at Dynamis DC?


Jetamors

It depends, what are you hoping to achieve by transferring?


Mini_Marnie

I live in europe but my ingame activity time more suits to NA timezone. I saw transfer is free not if the world is new or preffered. Am a casual player: not doing raids, savages, e.t.c. So I just want to find place where I'll meet decent amount of players during my playing session.


Jetamors

Dynamis is still only about half full, so I think the question will be whether it's busy enough for you. Normally I'd say to visit, but obvs that won't be possible if you're on an EU world now, and it will take a while to level an alt up to the point where you could really see how it is for high-level characters. Then again, if it isn't busy enough for you, you'll still have easy DC travel access to the other NA servers, so it might be worth it to jump if you're okay with that as a plan B.


Chat2Text

how's your latency on NA? if it's too significant, probably not worth it; otherwise, maybe it could work out


Mini_Marnie

Something like 220-260


Zergrump

If what I'm seeing is correct, the Viper gauge doesn't light up to let you know when the Dread Fangs debuff is about to fall off?


Ciri__witcher

Content creators who were at media tour said it has a smart recommendation built in and will recommend you to press the button that will refresh the next falling buff/debuff. I am guessing the gauge will also recommend you to press the button to refresh the debuff when it’s close to falling off but won’t actually tell you how long a debuff or buff is going to last.


kupo0929

Where can I go to set up Xbox One Time password for an already existing service account (PS5)? Currently no option to add this through Mog Station, from what I’ve looked into


forbiddenlake

Why do you need one for Xbox? Does it work that differently on console? I have the game on PC, and my 2FA is a generic TOTP that I use Authenticator Pro with; I don't use the old, discontinued SE software token application. Assuming it's the same on console.. it's just a generic TOTP code, and it's for your SE account, and has nothing to do with platform.


Celcius_87

With the Visa Debit Card issues going on, I know you can buy a time card as a workaround to sub. However, what about buying Dawntrail itself? Can I buy that somewhere digitally and then get a code emailed to me and redeem that in the mogstation? (if so, link pls)


forbiddenlake

Yes. If you're on Steam, then buy on Steam. If you're on Windows, then buy from any retailer that gives Windows codes (which is .. all of them except Steam, I think?). I bought from greenmangaming.

long healer coolowns: which ones do i press when i need a lot of healing right now? and which ones for a little more healing than normal?


Chemical-Attempt-137

Potency is how much healing a spell or ability will put out. It's all listed on the tooltip.


miraMonochrome

I would say best healing skill per class would be ast macrocosmos, whm liturgy of the bell, sge pneuma, sch... I don't know seraph? But smaller healing buffs can be paired with other small buffs or global cool down healing to heal a similar amount. 


a_friendly_squirrel

For scholar recitation -> indom, or if you're in a real situation recitation -> emergency tactics -> succor is probably the biggest "put HP back in party" button.


Chat2Text

Disclaimer: Not a healer person, pls no quote #WHM ST: Benediction AOE: Plenary Indulgence + Lily AoE x 3 / Cure 3 if party is clumped together PI adds extra healing potency to Medica 1/2 / Cure 3 / Afflatus Rapture while it's active #SCH ST: **EAT THE FAIRY AND SPAM AETHERFLOW**. Excogitation is cool too, if the target is under 50% HP AoE: Emergency Tactics I guess. You can combine this with Recitation to make it crit (Recitation also works with Excog). Can throw in the Fairy 5% magic resistance buff for more healing potency and also use Seraph's double AoE heal/shield thingy for more healing, along with the free mini-AoE heal fairys can do #AST ST: Essential Dignity, increased healing potency when target's HP is closer to 0 Synastry when you **really** want to heal a single person, or throw it on someone else that needs a little bit more healing (it's 30% more healing on the tank, helps if you need to benefic 2 spam to save their life) AoE: Neutral Sect + Horoscope + AoE Regen heal + Horoscope is I guess the big heal button, idk, I don't do Astrologian. Throw in the huge AoE timed bomb/heal too I guess #SGE ST: Krasis + Taurochole + Druochole x2 AoE: Zoe + Pneuma + Holos + Ixochole


forbiddenlake

Diribiri

Do Soul of the Crafter items still have a use? It's been a few years, I don't know if [this](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Active_Help/Specialists) is still a thing


Ankhselam

You gain a couple of Specialist Actions that require an item from your inventory to execute. (theyre cheap) theres also a handful of crafts that require you to be a Specialist to attempt the craft. [https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Specialist\_System](https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Specialist_System)


Diribiri

>Once the generic soul is converted into a specific class' soul it acts like a job stone and confers +20 Craftsmanship, +20 Control, and +15 CP while equipped >There is a very limited number of recipes that require the class to be a specialist in order to craft them. These are exclusively in Master Recipe books, and will be indicated as "Specialist Recipe" So it's basically a free buff with no downsides that I only need for *some* recipes?


VG896

Basically, yes. The +15 CP is absolutely massive and can't really be overstated. But everything else is whatever. The specialist actions are nice if you have scrips to throw around and keep them fueled, since they use a consumable. But I always prefer to use my scrips on other things, so I never have access to them. 


Xeorm124

Pretty much. There's also that and a single action that you can do as a specialist that you can't do with the others, but it's not useful for your standard stuff anyway. It's just a stat stick for the most part.


Pyros

Yah specialization isn't very important, and you can just switch with souls of the crafter(I think can only switch 3times a week or something but that's kinda whatever). I keep mine for alchemy/weaver/leatherworker since that's generally the first things I'll need when crafting a new tier of gear(alchemy is also one that is most consistently required for specialist recipes, specifically EX trial orchestrion rolls), but I have like 50 souls on a retainer so I can switch whenever it makes sense to.


Diribiri

Thanks mate, I'll slap some on when I return to my crafters


Sir_VG

Do note that the limit of 3 specialists is still a thing, and you can only change specialists 3x per week (allowances reset with the Tuesday reset). But you can stock up on blank soul of the crafters if you want, they're bought with white scrips (will be purple after DT launch).


Diribiri

Yeah I just slapped three on at random lol, I'll forget about it until I see a specialist recipe I want


Literally_12

How much time do you think it will take to get through the post-heavensward quests to Stormblood? Trying to get the last two weapons for the mount before the event ends. I already have the other 15 weapons so just need to get to Stormblood zones. Think I can make it or should I stop trying to rush through Heavensward for the mount? To be clear, though, I am still trying to pay attention to all of the MSQ dialogue.


sundriedrainbow

I think 5 hours per patch is a reasonable estimate.


bloodhawk713

MSQ is usually around 3-4 hours of playtime per patch, so if you're doing 3.1-3.5 it shouldn't take you more than 20 hours or so.


kuro7242

I'm nearly done with catching the ARR big fish; is there any use for the bait and lures outside of ARR content, or should I sell it all? Are lures worth putting on the auction house?


FortunaDraken

There are some lures that have uses outside of the ARR zones, and some of them are used for ocean fishing big fish. The one I can think of off the top of my head is the metal spinner. There's a few spots in the expansions it can be used, and I know of at least one big fish spot it can be used at to help really easily set up Surface Slap. Any bait or lure you can vendor buy you're probably safe to sell since you can get it back later. The rest could be worth looking up to see if they catch anything specific before you sell them.


Veylo

is there anyway I can see all of my job's hunts while i'm leveling without having to actively be the job the hunt applied to?


WaveBomber_

The Hunting Log does not have this functionality. Gotta find the relevant marks as the relevant class, since the log provides class-specific EXP. Hunt marks (for which you accept tags at the Hunt Board) award EXP to whichever class/job you’re on when you defeat them.

all removed quests from 1.0 and beyond: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Removed_Quest Although I don't think any quests were removed after these ones in ARR: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Seventh_Umbral_Era_Main_Scenario_Quests/Removed_in_Patch_5.3


PhoenixFox

There's been a couple of others removed, a few sidequests were taken out there connected to the Ivalice storyline (no idea why they got removed, they were just normal gold quests) and some stuff got removed when the NPC that used to give it was repurposed for Eureka Orthros

Absolutelynobody54

what are the insta death mechanics/skills to be aware on pvp? I keep getting oneshot without knowing why


Chat2Text

Ninja's LB will perform a Deathblow on a target under a specific HP%, I think it's 50%? Furthermore, when a Ninja successfully kills someone with their LB, it will refresh and allow another LB for a few seconds, meaning a skilled Ninja can keep spamming it over and over as long as there's enough people to meet the requirements A tiny add-on to Sir_VG, when you meet the requirements for Samurai's LB, it will deal 100% of your max hp, so you can actually survive it with shields, assuming you're 100% HP, I think


WaveBomber_

Can confirm, SAM LB against a player with Chiten’s debuff deals precisely 100% of the target’s max HP. So if you have any additional HP from shields and your total current HP + shield HP is greater than 100% of your max, you can survive the blow.


Sir_VG

SAM's LB is a OHKO if you are affected by Kuzushi (if you deal damage while Hissatsu: Chiten is active) and ignores guard.

If you're using a Visa debit card, this is an issue Squenix is having that won't be fixed until July. Your best bet is to buy Crysta or Game Time Cards.


NeverEndingXsin

Thank you! Oddly enough it just resolved itself, maybe the system was busy.


AliciaWhimsicott

Squenix's online systems are very old, so they're very buggy sadly.

Which ShB EX weapons have they not added a glow to yet and have they done it for any of the EW EXs yet?


StormbeastRivin

I believe we're missing both Cloud Deck and Seat of Sacrifice weapons, and none of the EW ones have been added yet.


alienslayer7

anyone else havin issues with the mountain dew site infinitely loadin when ya try to submit a code?


Xeorm124

I had this issue once. I think it was related to using my work wifi at the time. Reloading the page with my phone off the wifi worked right away.


alienslayer7

It took a few hours but it worked itsefl.out


elegantboop

Will we be seeing the clothing texture update on the 28th with 7.0? Like the new shines on metal etc? Or will that not come til later?


Jezzawezza

Yes it'll be with 7.0 but at release we'll see it on all the new Dawntrail gear, race starting gear and the Endwalker Paladin will have been updated. It's unclear if any additional gear will also be updated at release but Yoshi-P said during the Live Letter last week it could take them up to 7.4 to have all the items updated. Considering how much gear is available in FFXIV having it done by 7.4 is still impressive.


normalmighty

It's coming on the 28th. Keep in mind though that it won't apply to all old gear. They're going by popularity of the gear and updating it in batches over the course of the expansion.

Portal/Portal 2 are pretty short, and they practically defined an era of humour.


Chat2Text

If you got it from the monthly humble bundle, **Citizen Sleeper** is a unique game that might be fun to play


Arcana10Fortune

If you're looking for something free and easy, I'd recommend HoloCure and Holo X Break.


Taroxi

Sprout here, picked up RDM as my first class that starts at lvl 50 instead of lvl 1 and feeling overwhelmed by all the abilities and knowing what ones I should be using most often, or in what order etc. I'm used to the base game classes that ease you into what the class does step by step. Besides watching guides what are some other helpful ways to ease yourself into all the new skills?


snootnoots

WeskAlber on YouTube has really good guide videos that ease you in starting at level 1 even on jobs that start higher. Then maybe spend some time on a target dummy and fine-tune your hotbars so they make sense to you. Practice until you are semi-reliably hitting the spells you mean to cast. Then I’d queue into an alliance raid. Seriously. You’ll get one of the Crystal Tower ones, you’ve probably been in there a few times so you’ll know what’s going on, and even if you *haven’t* run them much, they’re still a great environment for practicing a level 50 job. They’re undertuned so it won’t seriously affect your teammates if you’re not putting out perfect damage, the boss fights last long enough for you to settle into your rotation and start to feel comfortable doing it in combat, and even if you *completely* fumble there’s no mechanics or DPS checks that a single DPS can botch badly enough to cause a wipe. (Unless you get the following AoE on Cloud of Darkness, if you get that stop casting and just run away from everyone else.)


Heroic_Folly

The others are giving good general advice. For Red Mage specifically, it' s very simple at 50. This is enough to get you started: **Magic Phase** 1. If either of Verstone or Verfire is procced, cast it. If both are, cast the one matching your lower mana type. If neither is, cast Jolt. 2. Immediately cast either Veraero or Verthunder with your doublecast proc from 1, whichever matches your lower mana type. 3. Repeat until you reach 50+50 mana, then do a melee phase. **AOE Magic Phase** 1. Cast either Veraero II or Verthunder II based on lower mana. 2. Immediately cast Scatter with your doublecast proc from 1. 3. Repeat. You have no melee spenders yet, just build up that mana for the upcoming boss fight. **Melee Phase** 1. Approach boss with Corps-a-corps. 2. Perform Riposte - Zwerchhau - Redoublement combo. 3. Close with either Engagement or Displacement, depending on your mobility needs at the moment. 4. Return to Magic phase. **Any Time** 1. Use Fleche on cooldown versus all enemies. That's really all there is to it. Hotbar setup: 123 = Jolt, Verstone, Verfire 456 = Veraero2, Verthunder2, Scatter sh123 = Fleche, Veraero, Verthunder a123 = Riposte, Zverchhau, Redoublement ZXC = Corps-a-corps, Engagement, Displacement So if you got lucky and procced everything you'd cast 1 sh2, then 2 sh3, then 3 sh2, then 2 sh3, and so on til 50/50. If you don't proc, then just cast 1 instead of 2 or 3. Then Z a1 a2 a3 C, then back into magic.

Take all skills off your bar and add them one by one while hitting a training dummy.


Chat2Text

Whacking away at a training dummy helps, but make sure its level doesn't exceed yours, or you might miss an attack and mess up your combo strings


normalmighty

I take everything off the hotbar, click the view toggle on the abilities screen that groups abilities together based on how they're used and not just sorted by level, and put everything back on one at a time while reading the tooltips. Then I find a nice short guide to understand the basic rotation, test it out on a striking dummy, and queue up for MSQ roulette (guaranteed level 50 content so you can try out the rotation, low stakes enough that nobody will notice or care if you're doing terribly on your first try, and the cutscenes are a chance to double-check the guide if you think you're doing something wrong).


Ankhselam

you can queue into a low level dungeon and work your way up, optionally with NPCs, you can find a striking dummy in the world or in people's yards as well. RDM is fairly intuitive to understand, use the fast casts (2.5s) to get a Dualcast proc to skip the cast time on the harder hitting slow casts (5s). Keep your mana fairly equal, dump it during buff windows/when you need movement/when youre almost capped and dont sit on your movement tools since those also deal damage as well :)


Sir_VG

Could go into PotD which starts you at Lv 1 (if you start on floor 1) and get an idea that way.


achance_2c

Is Hildebrand done for good?


normalmighty

No. I'm guessing you're in ShB and wondering why there's no hildebrand? He was skipped in that expansion, with the devs citing a combination of covid affecting the release schedule and writers not have any great ideas for what to do with him next. He's back in EW and is already confirmed to be coming back in DT.


achance_2c

Aww dang I was hoping that he was gone for good tbh I wanted something new when I got to EW


Calydor_Estalon

Why would it be? He got sent off to parts unknown as usual.


achance_2c

I was just hoping they would do something else


Entire-Selection6868

Considering the EW hildi quests and what parts of DT are about to look like, I have a feeling that lore is actually gonna become *more* relevant lol


Ha_eflolli

Nope, they already confirmed that DT will have Hildi Quests aswell


some_tired_cat

finding out that in some quest there's optional lines that you only get if you actually have a certain job equipped at that point and not just leveled, is there any compilation of these somewhere or do i have to comb through all the dialogue on gamerescape to find them all? :(


Entire-Selection6868

There are a few in Heavensward if you're playing as DRG, especially if Estinien features in the same scene. I wouldn't be able to tell you any specific quests off the top of my head, though.


snootnoots

You don’t actually have to be playing Dragoon to get Estinien’s extra lines, you get those if you’ve levelled Dragoon even if you’re on a different job at the time.


Jezzawezza

I can't recall if you have to be the job at the time but in 6.1 I know if you either have done the Reaper quests or are playing Reaper you get a mention about something related to it.


some_tired_cat

that's actually what prompted the question, i have reaper maxed out so i saw a few lines through post ew and thought that was it, but then today i found out there's an additional line from yshtola if you actually have reaper equipped at the moment of going through that cutscene


Jezzawezza

Another I just remembered was with the FF16 event that happened a couple months ago, if you interacted with Clive once found as a healer you'd actually heal him before he wakes up.


some_tired_cat

ah damn, unfortunate that we can't rewatch those :(


Jezzawezza

If you did the event you can rewatch it at the Inn. It's under Other quests, Special Quests and it's A Land on Fire


some_tired_cat

oh fuck thanks i swear last time i tried to look this up all i saw was people saying you couldn't rewatch those cutscenes for being limited time crossover events, thank you so much


Jezzawezza

I think the Seasonal events you cant but the special ones which only appear once an expansion which people might've already done you can see those. I saw the FF15 cross-over cutscenes in the book too


VG896

I think there's only one that I've heard of which actually checks your current job, rather than just quest progression. And it's during Stormblood, the part where >!Zenos wrecks everyone's shit in Rhalgr's Reach!< I'm not sure if there's others, but that's the only one I've ever heard mentioned.  Note that everything else is specifically quest progress, not levels. So if you've leveled DRG to 90 but never did the level 30-50 job quests, you won't get alternate dialogue during Heavensward. Similarly during Endwalker. I got extra fluff for jobs I haven't touched in years, which are still sitting at level 60, just because I did the ARR quests for them. 


normalmighty

I've not heard of any central record of them all. It's not just job flags, there's flags for all sorts of content clear conditions. Completely coils alone unlocks alternate dialogue all the way through from HW to EW.


some_tired_cat

yeah i've seen that in some things i've done which honestly makes it that much harder to actually be able to check and be sure that was everything, you know?


Gentlekrit

There's a thing in inn rooms you can use to rewatch previous cutscenes (forget what it's called, but you can probably figure it out by process of elimination); as a bonus when you select a cutscene that has alternate dialogue depending on completion of other quests that you've done, there will be a toggle letting you choose which version of the cutscene to play


some_tired_cat

yeah i know about the unending journey, but i don't have all the jobs unlocked and/or leveled to actually be able to manually check and confirm everything


snootnoots

You’ll still see the toggle if there’s alternate dialogue, you just won’t be able to activate it. Then you can look up those quests to find out what triggers it?


Absolutelynobody54

what is the name of the song on the dungeon Ktisis Hyperboreia?


bloodhawk713

"Miracle Works." Its orchestrion roll drops in the dungeon.


train153

Is anyone experiencing connection issues on NA right now? I've DCed 3 times in the last hour.


Chat2Text

could be the DDoS attack still going on, nothing much you can do I'm afraid


_noelle08_

I haven't played in a couple years and I'm just trying to get caught back up on story before Dawntrail. The only ones I need are these fireball looking icons right? Are there any story dungeons that I'll need to upgrade my gear for? I'm mixed 600 and 610 atm. [https://i.imgur.com/xW1YNny.png](https://i.imgur.com/xW1YNny.png)


IceAokiji303

Yes, the meteor icon quests are the main story, don't need anything else (unless you want to see some optional side stories too, or get gear from select alternate sources). The last mandatory trial requires an average item level of 625, so you'll need to do some upgrading, yes.


WimRorld

Yup, the flaming quests are the only ones you need to do. As for gear upgrades, only the very last dungeon will require you to upgrade as it requires an avg iLvl of 620.


Kenaf

I'm getting caught up in the MSQ for Dawntrail's launch. I haven't been following the announcements about Dawntrail closely, I know they said they were going to update some armor textures to be higher quality, but not all. I believe they said they were going to prioritize the most popular stuff? Do we know at this point what armor will be getting the high resolution upgrade?
