You then right click the item you want to return to normal, hit glamour, then remove, which will consume a dispeller

Yeah, I bought the complete edition for 25 bucks a month and a half ago and still haven't applied the code. It's crazy how much content this game gives you for free.

I mean the Prisms that let me claim a new illusion out of something I have and add a new illusion to my collection. Those also craft and seals?

Yeah, glamour prisms are available in the same places, IIRC. The nice thing about the glamour dresser is that it only costs prisms to put things into it. Applying an outfit is free, though it weirdly does still require the proper number of dispellers to strip one from gear.

Also, if you dye a piece of gear before sticking it in your glamour dresser, it saves the dye in the dresser and any outfit you make with that piece of gear will retain the color. You can add dye to an outfit without overwriting the original saved color, too.

For those whom it may concern, the full game of FF14 is currently on a 55% off sale.

It's only when you use dyes on a plate that you'll lose it if you ever change that slot.

Just did a dungeon and my pals killed the boss while I was in cutscene land, sorry guys.

I play a healer so sometimes when I finish watching a cutscene I discover that the rest of the party is dying or dead

That's one of the more infamous ones due to the extremely lengthy cutscene preceding the final boss the first time you run it. It's fairly common for a group of veterans rushing through it to get it over with (because let's be honest, it's one of the worst early dungeons in terms of overall design and flow) to not realize they've got a sprout stuck watching the cutscene up on the cliff when they jump down to start the fight. Either way, don't stress about it - the story is the whole point of the game, and most groups will usually apologize once they realize their mistake, or at the very least not make a fuss about it since people who've run the dungeon before get some bonus rewards if there's at least one person doing the dungeon for the first time.

I had a choice between zoning in and trying to save the day in a fight I had never seen before, or letting the two goon dps who queued with me die. So I charged in, ressed the DPS and promptly died. Luckily they were a RDM and a SMN, so we had a wheel of deaths and resurrections as I died to mechanics I'd never seen before, and everyone else died from lack of healing as I tried to pull my mp out of the toilet. Still cleared it, but drat it was hectic.

Missing the boss of Toto-rak is basically a rite of passage

And it looks like no, seems like the collector's edition upgrade for everything is full price right now - $20 per expansion set/ARR or $80 for all of them.

Bummer! I see a sale on shadow bringers Collectors Edition on the store so I was wondering. Hey, the collector's edition is on sale for Europe and Australia but not NA, at least not this instant...? SuperKlaus fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jul 21, 2021 |

Been playing for a few weeks and enjoying it so far; I've played a bunch of MMOs in the past, mostly City of Heroes and LOTRO. Is it normal to get incredibly overleveled for the main quest line, though? I normally don't care how fast or slow I level up, but I created a couple of characters on smaller servers (because I prefer to avoid crowds) and found they got a big XP buff, to the point where I'm playing a level 45 character on level 25-30 missions. Even the characters I have on larger servers, who don't have the XP boost, are running well ahead of the main quest mission level, and I'm not even trying to grab every sidequest that comes along.

Yeah, it's normal. They changed leveling classes to be much easier for people leveling up multiple classes on the same character, so the MSQ overlevels people drastically.

Yeah, it's pretty normal, especially with all the XP boosts that come along. You can level multiple jobs by using one job for dungeons and one for quest turnins (or mix and match)

I have friends that are on the free trial and don't play too frequently. They're nowhere near the end of the free trial and will not get to SB by Endwalker release. The complete version isn't worth it, right? If anything, they should get the base game and then an Endwalker code when they're done with HW, right?
|
# ? Jul 21, 2021 23:03 |

If they're going slow enough they'll will definitely not finish HW by Endwalker them yes.

How will endwalker work? Will you go straight from ARR to there, or do we still go through the other expacs as well?>

# ? Jul 22, 2021 03:33 |

The same as all the other expacs, you have to do them in order.

abigserve posted:How will endwalker work? Will you go straight from ARR to there, or do we still go through the other expacs as well?> All expansions are a contiguous story. ARR leads into Heavensward leads into Stormblood and so on. The patch content for each expansion bridges the story between them.

It's more like a JRPG than the usual MMO story, you can go do sidequests in whatever order but the main story is the main story. Unless you buy a story skip (don't do this), you'll have to play through all the expacs.

Content is gated by MSQ progression more so than your level

The other problem is that the boss is on a hair trigger. You don’t have to jump off the ledge to start things off, just get too close to the edge and you’ll be sucked in.

The third problem is that there are two separate cutscenes for that boss. One where you're on the unlock quest, and one where you're not.

Someone might have done that unknowingly which is unfortunate. Rest assured, however, that you will likely have many opportunities to fight it properly and enjoy toto-rak in leveling roulette in the future.

is there a list of fun/worthwhile side stuff to do? Im sort of just beelining the story and i have no idea if im missing out on anything, except trying to do any + sign quests i come across if they seem like theyre anything worthwhile. Right now they all seem like theyre for unlocking hard dungeons and i kind of dont want to just run all of them to clear the quests.

I'll quote myself from last time that question was asked in the main thread. Stuff to do at 50 in general, in some rough order of how interesting it is:
In general I think bumming around each expansion cap as you get there and doing the raids and optional dungeons is fun, but if you feel you'd rather get on with things then do that. The ARR former endgame is a lot jankier than the equivalent in HW and later, and it's not like the dungeons are going anywhere. There is a lot of game left either way so do what seems amusing.

# ? Jul 22, 2021 13:05 |

For the "Some Dungeon (Hard)" blue quests, you can just leave them at the "now go into a dungeon" stage and gradually randomly complete them through the dungeon roulette.

Something I haven't seen mentioned - if you're a trialist in Europe, the goon FC has set up a linkshell (basically a chat channel) to give trial players a place they can ask questions, get groups etc whilst getting around the restriction of not being able to join an FC. If that sounds useful to you, join the PCD discord (https://discord.gg/HXFJJVD) and we'll get it sorted out! Thanks to Cythereal for adding the link to the OP too.

I think im about to reach stormblood because im going full psycho mode on the story quests but those are some good suggestions. I keep seeing people talk about relic weapons and raids i dont know about and stuff like that so i always wonder if theres anything worthwhile im missing

If you're at the HW endgame then you can also do the 8-man and 24-man raid series for that expansion. They're both easily done in queues and better designed than their ARR counterparts since HW is pretty much when Squeenix got a handle on how they want the game to work. The 8-man starts with the quest Disarmed in Idyllshire and the 24-man starts with the quest Sky Pirates in The Pillars. If you're playing on one of the goon datacenters (Chaos or Primal) I'd actually recommend trying to arrange a group for a min ilvl run through the 8-man raid if you can be arsed. It's a lot more fun, especially for the early bosses.
