It has been kinda my goal for the last 6 months but the problem is that I’m doing everything… synced, including hard contents for example the coils of bahamut took me 2months synced 🙃especially t9 and t13 that really stopped my story progression lol (bc my job takes up 5 days of my time so I can only go hardcore geek mode for 48hrs, in perspective if I didn’t have a job it would’ve taken me 2 weeks probably) I do every side content, that means every unlockable dungeon, raid, trials and alliance raids, and I got side quests ocd so I clear the maps every time by doing those damn fetch quests 😭 right now I’ve got 558 hrs of playtime and I just finished the first part of heavensward, cleared the Alexander raids on normal and did every side dungeon, looking forward to do my first savage raid although apparently doing the coils synced is already kinda savage level lol And I also do my relics lol, but I’ll probably just get to Cronus Lux for drk since it’s the only one that really interest me and actually do the others unsynced later
i'm was just about to enter the final dungeon of shb when my sub ran out. now i'm torn if i have to wait or get a month to finish msq before endwalker.
I am sidetracking with crafting jobs and other classes.... I really need to get to Shadowbringers on my main job which is MSQ 65 or something at level 69
Don’t waste your time gearing non-mains. Within a day or two of starting the expansion your main will be getting tomes faster than you can spend them and at level 83 the dungeon gear will be equal to or better than the best tome gear from Shadowbringers. Not to mention, after no more than a couple of days people will already be on levelling roulette runs and running it with level 90 gears.
Assuming she means some decent gear. It really easy to get 520 gear from multiple places. It's not mandatory by any means but if your doing stuff the why not. Having 400 gear feels bad trying to do anything in a new exp.
Not at level 83, if the trend from sb to sbh holds. Especially not vendor gear. Currently gear from Dohn Megg is the same ilvl Augmented Scaevan but your weapon damage will only start increasing from lvl 75 gear onwards.
@@michielmanders9766 Correction on original post >> Level 83 dungeon gear will be equal to or better than highest tome gear.* Thanks for the catch there.
I started FF14 in early August. I’m finally about to touch Heavensward. I’m a school teacher and with school in full swing, super busy schedule. I’m real nervous I won’t make it to Endwalker in time. Guess it’s a good problem to have.
I'm in the same spot as you. I just hit Heavensward a few days ago. I only get an hour or two at night before bed some days. I'm with you in the race to finish!
Started around the same time as you but I am lucky as I can WFH. However, even I spent almost 6-8 hrs per day, I just finish 5.0 now and having problem to get the ilvl 530 gears... so... good luck bro...
I started Eureka a few weeks ago and I think it's having a bit of a renaissance at the moment. Instances are usually active with fate trains running, people levelling, baldesion arsenal runs being organised pretty much constantly
Wow, didn't know that Eorzea Collection site existed until this video so this will be a perfect way to go for the gear I want to use for glamour purposes on my main classes in the future then.
That site is crazy, I thought it was an official site at first. The WoW / Instagram / Narcissus community is active, but my God the FFXIV glamour scene puts it to absolute shame.
As a new player, these sorts of videos are great to see, as I just finished the MSQ and I'm sort of overwhelmed with the sheer amount of things I need to do! All the blue quests I didn't do, the raids and optional dungeons, Eureka (And now Bozja)... theres simply too much to get done! Of course, this is a good problem to have, and at least I know I'll have plenty to do for a while yet, but knowing whats MOST most important before EW drops is nice :)
Have you done the crystal tower raids before Shadowbringer expansion? If you have ignore my comment but if you haven't you should do it since there's important connection between them.
@@akemibarrera1961 crystal tower is mandatory now for sprouts, the game wont allow them to finish ARR until they do all three raids so they understand shadowbringers
@@robinvermeersch6349 i think it's, i just finished ARR, and i remember while doing later patch's content, reading a note saying that i would need to crystal tower's progress to keep doing MSQ after a certain point. i don't know how "locked" it was going to be, because i completed crystal tower, not long after i unlocked it.
So tired of the fearmongering about the stat squish and unsyncing. Yoshida said he understands how important it is to the players and even if its a bit rough at release they'll get it adjusted.
Something I didn't hear you mention that I think is as important as gearing up is maxing out all of your tomestones. Once Endwalker drops, if the last few expansions are anything to go by, all your tomestones will be exchangable for Poetics, and Poetics will be able to be used to buy Augmented Cryptlurker gear, meaning you can quickly catch up on gear with any level 80 class you have
@@CianaCorto true, but you need to max out Allegory and Revelation too, that way you have more than the 2000 maximum Poetics to spend at the start of Endwalker by trading them in for more Poetics
@@bobdole4eva1 Thats a balancing act. If you max out early, they just sit there and you waste the runs where you dont acquire more. Theres no reason to sit on tomestones that could be used to buy 520 or 530 gear just to exchange them for poetics so you can buy 520 or 530 gear XD
@@st3vorocks290 sure, spend them if you're maxed already or you need anything. But taking myself as an example, my main class is maxed out on gear and I've got about 6 other classes with ilvl over 500, so I'm going to slowly max out Revelation, allowing my to fill in the gaps on any of those classes come Endwalker
Is the main way to get allegories and revelations by doing daily roulettes with a level 80 character? I just started playing 6 weeks ago and I got my SMN to 80 and immediately switched to leveling alts with my dailies (74 BLM, 73 DNC, 63 DRG). Should I stop doing that and switch to my 80 for my dailies?
I've been playing for a couple of weeks now, I'm smitten with this game! Getting slightly stressed, as I'm only in the beginning of HW, so I will definitely not get Relic weapons, or raid mounts in time for EW, but I may be able to finish all MSQs with my main job, astro
If you can log a few hours a day and more on the weekend you can comfortably finish each expansion in 2 weeks or maybe even less. I personally came back 26 days ago and I was at the start of stormblood,. At the 4th mission to be specific. I'm slowly doing 5.1 of post shadowbringers now while I farm mounts from EX trials everyday.
As someone who has been playing the game for the last 3.5+ years I feel its not really that critical to rush anything or be fully prepped. The only reason to do it really is to capitalize on gil making potential in the very early days of the expansion when everything is in super high demand. This is mostly only a crafting/gathering issue, however and these days the price spike usually only lasts a few days at best before the market is simply flooded. I feel also that gil isn't super important in this game, especially once you have your crafters and gatherers maxed out. The game is very much setup to be played at whatever pace anyone feels like without ever being truly left behind. Case in point, you are starting 8 years late, have been playing for a couple of weeks and can be caught up enough by the time EW drops that it doesn't really matter. Cheers and GL, glad you are enjoying the game!
i'm gonna be pre ordering EW on either the 30th September or the 1st October and then i will use the earring and the ring to lvl up most of my classes to 60
Thank you I was looking for a video like this because as a “new” player I just finished all the MSQ and am now “current.” Afterwards I just stood there and was like…well now what?
I'm in the same boat. I'll get to Endwalker when I get there, seems no sense to me in rushing through everything. The content will still be there when I'm ready for it.
Yeah I mean is there even a reason to rush to finish every expansion before Endwalker? I'm confused. I'm also still on the base game, just started playing a month ago.
No worries, no hurries 🙂 Take your time and enjoy the game as it was meant to be played. The content isn't going anywhere and Endwalker will be there when to get to it.
As a viera main, I’ve been collecting modern aesthetics because I have this delusion that I’ll be able to equip them in Endwalker at some point. Is anyone else wondering why SE implemented male viera when they haven’t fixed the pre-existing issues with female yet?
If you look at the Lvl 90 Ninja artifact gear, it’s a Viera with one of the purchaseable ponytails, so its safe to assume you’ll be able to wear atleast some of them, if not all hopefully!
@Jay Bee Actually, I would call the lack of hairstyles a pre-existing issue, while not being able to use modern aesthetics also fit into that category. I have accepted I can barely wear hats, that's fine by me - circlets and some hats are enough. That does not mean we can disregard that Yoshi-P still stated 2+ years ago to look forward to upcoming patches as they even publicly announced that eventually, they would be able to give the Viera more hairstyles due to us having next to no variety. Viera are not the only one's who have issues that need to be fixed, Hrothgar out of all the races are very hard done by considering they need to fantasia just to change their hairstyle (No wonder barely anyone plays as them) I was just saying, I'd rather they fix the current problems before implementing new races that may also come with the same baggage therefore double the workload. Also, just to ask, where is the source of your claim that Viera 'always intended to be a limited race' ? I can't find any information where developers have said that.
It’s funny, I bought the same mouse on a whim a long time ago and I love it! Some advice though, if you use that same model mouse download the Logitech software for that mouse and set the G-shift button (third mouse button) to ctrl. I had an issue of button locking during intense gameplay and that fixed it.
Omg ME TOO, it kept locking it to were it was automatically pressing the g-shift , and if I pressed esc it would tab me out, I’ve had no issue since I switched it to ctrl
Yeah, I also have this mouse and do the same thing. The older software is way better and the g shift button is kinda wonk by default, so this is great advice.
I just bought the G600 too and it's been a godsend, but downloading the old Logitech Gaming Software program is absolutely critical. I tried using the newer GHub software with it and it crashed my computer every single time I started the program.
Coming back late because I wanted to give one more tip about this mouse: I modded mine to reduce the weight. This thing is HEAVY out of the box, and I'm not a small person. There are a few steel weights inside that you can just remove; it's not difficult or technical but you do need some dexterity and a gentle touch to take it apart and put it back together without breaking any wires. Also a couple bucks for replacement skates (you have to peel off the originals in order to access the screw holes for disassembly, rendering them useless). After you've got it open, just remove the screw securing the weights (you'll know them when you see them), take the weights out, and put the screw back in. Go slow when taking it apart and be careful not to drop anything and it should be fine.
My laptop's off for repairs for a few weeks, so I'm spending the time replaying MSQ on an alt. I've forgotten like 90% of it at this point. It's my second attempt replaying, so hopefully I actually make it to HW this time XD
Eureka's story could tie in to Endwalker plot points, particularly Krile, her father, and the Students of Baldesion. The Isle of Val itself might also be referenced again, since I believe it was procured from the Sharlayans in the first place.
I have been new to FF14 and have just passed my first 2 months. I've been very proud to call myself a bun and join your discord. Everyone, in the discord and out, has been very friendly and contributed to the best MMO exoerience have had to date. Level 75 Dark Kight Powering through! Should finish the the story before spending any more Gil on the mog station, that's for sure...
Wish I could just unsync the trials to get the mounts but I'm lvl 62 scrub so not even full geared to do it yet. Also I LOVED solo duties with Noctis they teached me a lot of mechanics before I jump into raids. such as stack markers / pillars.
It sucks because even fully geared and leveled you still need at least an extra player or two to "solo" lvl60 trials for doggos and of course more for the higher level trials. Only Kirin is easily soloable.
Its more overwhelming to me and I'm like I'm going to do my own thing. I'm new and In sure a lot of people are and aren't worried about a lot of these things to do before Endwalker comes out.
Also, since belts are leaving, I’ve been trading all my old belts for GC seals. I don’t know if they’ll just disappear day 1 of EW, but I thought I’d get something out of them before they are gone.
They won't disappear, though if you were wearing them they will go to the Calamity Salvager. They will become inventory items you can hold onto if you want for nostalgia purposes, and I imagine you will probably still be able to cash them in for GC seals, but that will depend on exactly how they get dummied out. I'll probably keep just one belt as a souvenir, but otherwise do as you've described in the days before pre-early-access maintenance.
If bozja is really good for leveling, then wouldn't that be where the reaper/sages go? Like they did in PotD for SB and dancer/gunbreakers I think did with HoH for SHB?
love how they say to do the side stuff, and yet I just finished ShB main 5.0. but for someone who's new there's no way I can get the relic weapon maxed out in time. and I do want to play EW at launch. but dang there's sometimes too much to do in this game lol
You can do the relic start to finish in a few weeks or a month. There is more than enough time to complete it even at a quite casual pace. I no lifed it in about 5 days from scratch.
Yeah i heard they lowering stats overall and removing belts looking forward to more craftable glamours from the new expansion tho. Also ishgard housing is nice since more lots
When she mentioned doing all the job quests, it makes me really excited, cause that has the slightest chance that Sidurgu Orl will be a part of the MSQ. :)
Forgot to mention your crafting and gathering jobs, especially the gathering jobs! Loads of new pickings to be had once the expansion is live and those rare mats will require high-end gear
Hang in there! The ARR patch MSQ is rough, but it gets really good at the end. Highly suggest you do the Crystal Tower raids while you're there too as they're compulsory for Shadowbringers.
@@firalia I only did those when I first needed to, I'm in Stormblood right now and trying to finish the main MSQ myself. If I have to say all of this seems overwhelming for someone like me being new to the game.
@@sabrina1646 haha ya but at the same time there will be youtubers out here spoiling shit with their thumbnails so I mean we gotta pick up the pace a bit lol
About Bozjan, my guess it will be active on the 1st week after EW release because there will be plenty who wants to level up Reaper and Sage, but yeah as you said it could be dying down at least for a while.😅
the stat squish worries me. i'm at 300hrs now and haven't even finished the heavensward msq. i really hope old challenges won't become a pita before i get a chance to get the rewards.
I have a couple of personal goals to do before Endwalker such as leveling the main jobs I think I'll play and maybe the rest if I have time, but the nice thing is that I don't really feel any particular rush since it doesn't seem like any content will be going away. With WoW, I felt pressured into doing several things before the newest expansions came out, i.e. in Legion it was the Mage Tower weapon appearances, in BfA it was the Heart of Azeroth essences and getting the right corruptions to feel like I could even compete in both PvE and PvP (and that was such a shitty system anyways that I really shouldn't have bothered)
I play approximately 1-2,5 hours a day max, I'm still a 74 level sprout that just yesterday has finish the MSQ of stormblood... do I have time to finish endwalker before the next expansion?.. I'm going to focus only in the MSQ, maybe a season event if it comes along and just the simpe stuff (i dont think im gonna get the car of the current season event)
The writer suggested you just do everything before Endwalker. Well, that certainly ISN'T overwhelming for someone who just started. Not at all. It only took me 114 hours to finish ARR and I still can't even decide on a job. Make sure you DO EVERYTHING. Trying to level ANYTHING takes an hour per level or so, because DPS queues are SO LONG anymore.
If you are a player who just started, you shouldn't be worried about Endwalker at all. It takes a long time to get through the expansions. Worth it though.
Since shadowbringers i decided to skip on shb savages to work on old stuff aiming mostly mounts, i got every extreeme mount, both rival wings mounts, HW savage mounts, SB savage mounts, PoTD mount, both HoH mounts, all Eureka mounts, every bozjan mount, the blue mage mount, every triple triad card for the mount, both unreal mounts and every Goldsaucer one time purchase mounts and items. Heck even got every non event/mogstation orchestrion roll and became a saint of the firmament along the way while getting the mounts from there (no pteranodon yet but someday). From ShB im still missing ramuh and eden mounts. Not sure if ill get em before endwalker but currently having 152 mounts and missing 18 from mogstation makes me happy.
if you wanna gear up while doing the story: after you finish 5.0 you can get the 510 crafted gear (HQ mandatory, saves so many headaches later) and get it upgraded with tomestones of Allegory. There is also Cryptlurker gear for tomestones of Revelation (weapon also needs materials from Eden Raid) the third Nier Raid drops 520 gear too. You dont have to rush it as this gear will be obsolete in 1 1/2 months anyway.
Keep in mind: You can exchange current tomestones for Poetics once the new expansion drops! The exchange rates we've seen in the past are either 2:1 or 4:1. So if you have capped your Poetics, Allegory, and Revelation before Endwalker drops, you should be able to get at least *3000* Poetics in Endwalker day 1! That _should_ be enough to buy an augmented Cryptlurker weapon, a full set of left-side gear (chest, legs, hat, gloves, boots), and one accessory. If we get the better exchange rate, it could even be almost enough to buy a full set, accessories included (total 4055 if you don't have the preorder earring). So definitely consider trying to cap your tomestones, even if you don't play frequently! We've still got several weeks to go, so you only need like 300 a week to cap all of them and that's not too much time investment even for Revelation (e.g. doing pixie quests can get you 105 of that every week--then you'd need just 2ish experts or 4 Alliance raid roulette per week.)
I'm SO glad I heard this, I barely got into Heavensward, I left wow because I LOVE SYLVANAS, and I could NOT stand the story arc they took her through, I also did NOT like the character SQUISH, and now the same thing is happening here? I may NOT even buy endwalker now. I just may have to find a whole new game to start, or maybe this is my clue to stop gaming all together......................so many of you gamers obviously don't have a life, I DO, I have to clean, cook, go to DR's appointments, A LOT of DR appointments. Being disabled you'd think I wouldn't have anything to do but.............
Ishikawa-sama wants us to complete EUREKA!?! Oh fuck you! Tell you what, SquareEnix: lower the level up threshold by 1/4, reduce the EXP penalty for dying my AT LEAST 1/2, make it so you can't go DOWN a level for losing EXP, and don't make enemies in the last zones 5 levels higher than the max you can have for that zone, and I'll consider Eureka to be 'acceptably' soul crushing and finish it.
Just in case you're a new player planning to unlock Bozja, make sure you have a LOT of time available. You need to run through all the Stormblood alliance raids and that content is dead by now. 30-60 minute queues are normal (running a healer) and expect quite a few wipes going through it as there are many first-timers with no idea about mechanics or just no experience with the raid having hard time noticing everything. Setting aside two hours per raid is a pretty good idea to be sure you can finish it even in the worst case.
The way I understand it, content done at lvl 80 might be affected, but you should be back to full power and more by lvl 90. So in theory, shouldn't be harder, if not easier, when geared at lvl 90.
everyone hurrying and here's me crawling in MSQ :( haha every now and then i get burnt out and everyone;s just--- UCOB , TEA, UWU , max everything to 80 somehow i feel old haha :((( where do these people get the energy? ;__; i dont think id finish ShB before Endwalker :'D it kinda feels weird everyone's gonna be quitting once they finished Endwalker content because Bozja is dead or whatever.
grinding the relic I just couldn't anymore. Stuck where I need 30x6 items from Zadnor CE, Skirmishes, or Normal Raids, and I gave up. Think I'm just gonna finish gearing via augmented cryptlurker. Really close to finishing StQ story though so I might run DR until 25.
My goal to complete before endwalker is Eureka, E8S, E11S, E12S, complete and farm Varius, complete my ShB relics and do some NewGame+. I think I can do this.
Aight, I need to find stuff to do in FFXIV before Endwalker/ I could finish the Omega raids, get some relic weapons for fashion, maybe try sav-*Metroid dread October 8th*... Hmm, I think I have time before Endwalker
Tbh I have 1 big tip for new players which no one have spoken about Don't rush to end game , like seriously xD just take Ur time and enjoy the ride because guess what, new players have the advantage which many veterans don't and this is .....drum roll... You get to use "post" shadowbringers quest to level past level 80, so u lot can get ahead by doing this At this current time u won't get exp since level 80 is the cap for shadowbringers currently, when endwalker hits, these level 80 MSQ will give u exp Ur welcome from Ur friendly neighborhood mentor :)
I have done all stuff they recommend but I am stuck on the MSQ! I am stuck & can't do more because I need 490 gear! I just came back from being away since Nov 2020! I l left because I was caught up with the MSQ! I could level up other classes like Ninja, Dragoon, or Paladin to lv 80! But I know we will get side quests that will give higher than 490 gear & then there is also the leveling ALL classes to 90! I did the FF15 quest in one day & got my car! So now I have no idea what to do but wait for Endwalker to release I guess! Unless someone knows of an easy way other then farming the Dailies to get tomes for my gear I guess I am on break for now! Great Vid btw, keep up the great work!
Started FFXIV a couple weeks ago, giving a fair shot and seeing what i can with the trial for now and will decide if ill buy later on. Having lots of fun so far... then the Garuda personal cenario came with the current event from FFXV.. that was no fun at all...died the first time and the game was like: ''you have the option to lower the difficulty''.... EX-FUC****CUSE ME ? You presented this challange to me on normal difficulty so it shall be done that way, and so i did! And i've had a lot of fun killing that furry bird, now im having lots of fun again and im hungry for more! First xpac here i come!
Im fucking get Anxiety doing FF15 Event because I read the last date wrong. I'm malding and wonder why they make an event that last for 5 days to farm a lot of MGP. I spent 2 days farming in GS and got lucky with Slice event. Because I never play content in GS, Except mini cactuar. After getting the mount, I visiting Lodestone to see what more I can get and I realized that it is 18 October, not 18 September. To think I went mad and anxiety because of the misread date.
So scared of the squish.. just as I picked the game back up since the Shadowbringer launch (the last gasp of my WoW days -- yup, I know) I got nailed by what seems like nerve damage in my left movement / power select hand (the fact I love tanking was a gut kick. Hustlin' like a fool to get the controller setup finalized as it sees more than feasible in time for my hand to hopefully get back. So jazzed about Endwalker.... poor ol' Paladin needs to get a move on and tackle the fist Ultimate Weapon" quest. Gotta get that Regalia, yo! At least I should have enough currency from Golden Saucer to cover that.. gonna be sweating bullets for the rest.
I started playing like a few months ago. But I just can’t get into it. I’ve a dragoon lvl 33-34, or something like that. I bought a 3 months subscription, and have only played about two days. Idk if it gets with people, or later in game. Just now, it doesn’t catch my interest, I get bored. Plus nobody ever seems to want to talk or anything. Wanna group up and do stuff? Nah, wanna do these elite quest things? Nah…..
Upgrading my crafting tools and trying to finish ShB MSQ, Coils, and Crystal Tower series. That will be enough, and if I don't finish, no biggie. I don't collect mounts, so no issue there. Might finish Omega. But if I'm not ready to start the EW MSQ at launch, no biggie. It will still be there.
Here I am, bored and twirling my thumbs 🙄 because all quests are done, important content cleared, all mounts wanted acquired even the HoH Juedi mount, all jobs, crafters, gatherers are 80, all glam gear wanted has been acquired, beast tribes capped, sitting on a ton of mgp and 150mil gil. What else can I list…? I’m just so ready for EW already!!!
The problem with Eureka is not that the zones are dead, it's how utterly boring it can be to play through. ESPECIALLY if you went through Bozja and all its improvements compared to Eureka. Like not having to grind just to fight trash monsters, that's nice.
Coming from WoW... Removal of a gear slot and a huge stat squish makes me incredibly nervous. All the changes Warcraft did to "simplify" and make the game more "accessible" led to its current dog-shit state. Not happy to see FFXIV following the same path.
