News Tag: FFXIV Gil

One of the core appeals of Final Fantasy XIV is its endgame content, not only because the game has an interesting story and narrative, but also because it provides a diverse and highly engaging endgame experience.

Throughout the development of Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix has continuously improved and expanded the endgame content, striving to make the content rich and engaging enough with each version. Take Heavensward, for example. It not only brought new plots and areas to the game, but also laid the foundation for future content development.

In particular, the introduction of Diadem in Heavensward marked the first major addition to FFXIV outside of standard raids and post-launch stories. Although Diadem’s debut failed to fully ignite players’ enthusiasm, many people felt that it was somewhat boring and repetitive, its introduction was undoubtedly an attempt to lay the foundation for Eureka and Bozjan Southern Front.

This trend has continued in FFXIV’s expansions and updates, and Square Enix has continued to introduce more and more challenging content as the game progresses. Now the game has launched its first Chaotic Raid. This guide will take you through the details of what it is all about.

Chaotic Alliance Raid Overview

Chaotic Alliance Raid is a recent addition to FFXIV that a standard Alliance Raid inspires and introduces new environments and mechanics. The raid supports up to 24 players, and can be adjusted to a minimum of 8 players. Gathering players and playing synchronously can cause considerable chaos.

Chaotic Alliance Raids are significantly more difficult than usual raids, and players must not only rely on their own skills but also work closely with their teammates to ensure that everyone can play their best. For some players, this high level of teamwork can be stressful, especially when they encounter teammates who are not performing well in the game.

Despite the challenges, some players have successfully overcome these difficulties. Based on initial feedback, Chaotic Alliance Raid is close to an Extreme. This level of difficulty makes it a good choice for mid-core players, who can obtain a full set of 730 gear without having to complete the highest difficulty raid.

Players will be rewarded with Demimateria when they complete the Chaotic Alliance Raid. The amount of rewards issued will be adjusted based on the number of players (including yourself) who have successfully cleared the content.

This reward mechanism not only increases the player’s sense of achievement but also provides players with the opportunity to exchange practical items, such as equipment, rare mounts, and unique hairstyles. In the future, as the content continues to iterate and expand, we can expect Chaotic Alliance Raid to provide more challenges and reward options.

How To Unlock Cloud Of Darkness (Chaotic) Raid?

In the end-game content of “Final Fantasy XIV”, players need to interact with the game’s director and producer, Yoshi-P himself. Yoshi-P has been integrated into the game world as Wandering Minstrel and has become a familiar part of the players. Players can find him at Tuliyollal Docks, standing next to the stairs leading to the city, at coordinates (X: 11.1 Y: 14.7). Talking to him is a key step to enter Chaotic Alliance Raid content.

Rewards

To participate in Cloud of Darkness Chaotic raid, players must complete the main storyline of Dawntrail 7.0 and obtain certain equipment through crafting with Tomestones obtained weekly or using FFXIV Gil. Reaching at least ilevel 710 is the minimum requirement to enter the raid. However, most raid teams usually expect players to sync up to ilevel 735.

Upon successfully completing Cloud of Darkness Chaotic raid, you will claim the following rewards:

• Shroud of Darkness Mount (99 Clouddark Demimateria I)
• Dias of Darkness Mount (75 Clouddark Demimateria II)
• Modern Aesthetics - A Half Times Two Hairstyle (49 Clouddark Demimateria II)
• Armor Pieces (ilevel 730) (2-3 Clouddark Demimateria I)

Cloud Of Darkness (Chaotic) Raid Has Been Beaten

Final Fantasy XIV players have once again proven their resolve and ability to take on a challenge. Even when they had to team up with 23 other players, they didn’t back down. Many players completed the raid within hours of its release.

Feedback on social media so far indicates that the raid is very challenging. Still, for players with enough time to spare, this high-difficulty raid provides enough entertainment and challenge for the holiday season and is worth a try.

At present, although this raid has sparked heated discussions among many players, we still need to wait for more player feedback to see if other teams can successfully overcome this difficulty.

According to the announcement in September, if this type of content is popular with players, more similar 24-player raids will be added to the game in the future. Therefore, players can expect FFXIV to launch more such large-scale team challenges in future updates, bringing richer and more diverse end-game content.

Overall, Cloud of Darkness Chaotic Raid is undoubtedly a highlight of FFXIV’s end-game content. With its chief difficulty, unique reward mechanism and challenging teamwork, it provides players with a new and in-depth experience. Although the first attempt may be challenging, this is also what attracts players to FFXIV. With the addition of more such 24-player raids in the future, the end-game content of the game will become richer and more diverse.

If there is one thing that Final Fantasy 14 has going for it besides its fascinating storyline, it’s undoubtedly character customization. Since its launch, the game has won the love of players around the world for its rich and diverse character customization options. Among the many customizable elements, A Half Times Two is highly sought after for its unique and decorative design, although obtaining it can be challenging.

FFXIV also attaches great importance to the importance of players’ personalized expression, which continues in the upcoming new expansion Dawntrail. In the game, how you shape your character image not only reflects your personal style preferences but also is a way to show your self-identity, and the most intuitive expression of which is to show you through portraits.

Portraits provide players with a new way to show the personalized characteristics of their characters besides equipment and weapons. Each time you enter an instance, the portrait will automatically pop up, providing players with a unique form of display. Pelupelu Framer’s Kit is the latest kit introduced in Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.1. Players can use it to decorate their portraits and adventure plates.

Next, this guide will show you how to get A Half Times Two Hairstyle and Pelupelu Framer’s Kit.

How To Get A Half Times Two Hairstyle?

Characters’ hairstyles can be obtained in a variety of ways, such as Gold Saucer, Island Sanctuary, Ishgard’s Firmament, or by participating in various combat content, including Variant Dungeons, Field Operations, Alliance Raids, etc. However, the particularly popular A Half Times Two hairstyle needs to be unlocked through a newer combat content, which may be challenging for some Warriors of Light.

Players need to participate in and complete Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic) Alliance Raid multiple times. This content is the first of its kind in FFXIV, and it brings unique challenges to players. 24 players will fight against Cloud of Darkness together.

And players participating in the confrontation must also meet three conditions. First, the combat level is 100 and the item level is 710 or higher. Second, “Dawntrail” Main Scenario Quest needs to be completed. Finally, you will need to speak with Wandering Minstrel in Tuliyollal (X: 11.1, Y: 14.7) to unlock the duty of Raid Finder.

After completing Cloud of Darkness Chaotic, players will obtain Clouddark Demimateria I or Clouddark Demimateria II totems. Players will need to collect 49 x Clouddark Demimateria II totems and travel to Nexus Arcade (X: 8.7, Y: 13.5) to interact with vendor Uah’shepya to redeem A Half Times Two hairstyle.

While this hairstyle is very attractive, obtaining the required number of totems requires players to complete this challenging battle multiple times, which is a long battle for many adventurers. However, this guide will introduce you to several ways to help you accumulate these valuable totems more efficiently.

In the instance of Cloud of Darkness (Chaotic), if there are new players in the party, the reward for completing the mission will increase proportionally to the number of these new players. Additionally, during certain times of the day, the game will trigger limited-time bonus events that increase the item drop rate.

If you don’t want to participate in this battle content repeatedly, but have enough FFXIV Gil to spend, you can also choose to obtain ‘A Half Times Two’ hairstyle directly through Market Board. If the market supply exceeds the demand, you may even get this highly sought-after look at a relatively low price.

For a Viera or Hrothgar, there may be restrictions on certain hairstyles but A Half Times Two hairstyle is particularly suitable for male and female characters of these two races.

How To Get Pelupelu Framer’s Kit?

Pelupelu Framer’s Kit is known for its simple and symmetrical design and multiple color options. Although there is no exclusive frame, it contains unique backgrounds and highlights, which are very attractive. It is not difficult to obtain it, but it will take some time.

First, you need to complete Dawntrail main storyline (7.0) and then go to Tuliyollal to unlock Pelupelu daily quests by building Society Relations. Once the quests are unlocked, you can start taking daily quests from Yubli. You can complete up to three quests per day, and each quest will contribute 60 points to your relations with the group.

You will then start at Friendly and go through four stages to reach Sworn rank. To achieve this, you need to accumulate 3,540 points, considering that you can earn 180 points per day. And after reaching Trusted and Honored ranks, you will get double the points, so you can reach the goal in about 18 days.

Once you reach Sworn, go to Pavli and enter Currency Exchange to get Pelupelu Framer’s Kit for 6 tokens. You can then use the kit to enter the adventure plate and adjust the personalized portrait to your liking.

With the above guide, you can easily master how to obtain the highly sought-after “A Half Times Two” hairstyle and Pelupelu Framer’s Kit in Final Fantasy 14.

In FFXIV, cosmetics are undoubtedly a highlight of the game. Exquisite character modeling and ever-improving picture quality often become the driving force for their continued play. As Square Enix continues to launch graphics updates, the visual experience of the game is increasingly enhanced, making the pursuit of personalized appearance a long-term adventure.

In addition, minions also add a lot of fun to FFXIV. These cute little creatures are not only attractive in appearance but also accompany players and bring endless joy. If you like to visit Gold Saucer, there is also a pet-related RTS mini-game to experience. As of patch 7.1, Final Fantasy XIV introduced a particularly cute new minion, Toco Toquito. It is worth noting that this new partner is not obtained through regular activities.

Below, this guide will provide you with a way to get Toco Toquito Minion And Loose Fit Attire.

How To Get Toco Toquito?

Get Toco Toquito, you can use submarines. If you are not familiar with this feature in the game, you can think of it as one of Free Company’s allure. Players can build housing items and navigation items, such as submarines and airships for the workshop. From Airships in Heavensward to Submarines in Stormblood, Nautical Maps have expanded to six, while airships have only one map to explore.

You need to build a submarine in the company’s workshop and send it on a mission. As the submarine continues to upgrade and improve, it will take on higher-level missions. At present, it is almost impossible to get Toco Toquito without a member who is at least moderately active.

Assuming you are one of them, it is necessary to go to Voyage terminal. If you are level 120 and can unlock new maps through West Dodie’s Abyss, you should send your submarine to the first destination, Indigo Shallows.

After completing this task, there is a high chance that North Delphinium Seashelf will be unlocked. Next, you need to use all available submarines to bombard this location continuously. However, the low drop rate in this area means that obtaining Toco Toquito may take days or even weeks.

If you do not have an active FC or are not high enough level to obtain Toco Toquito through the above methods, then your only way to obtain Toco Toquito may be to obtain it from the market for FFXIV Gil. Currently, the price of Toco Toquito has dropped significantly, from a high of 15 million Gil at the time of the patch to one-tenth of it now. Once you obtain it, you will have your own toucan that will follow you everywhere.

How To Get Loose Fit Attire?

Loose Fit Attire stands out for its casual, stylish style, including long baggy pants, an undershirt and long sleeve jacket, wristbands for gloves and a backwards cap. These elements together form a modern look.

Wearing this Loose Fit Attire, you will undoubtedly stand out from the crowd. Its unique design not only conforms to the current fashion trends but also incorporates the unique fantasy elements of the game. In particular, the addition of a multi-layered dying scheme allows players to adjust the color and style of the clothing according to their preferences.

To unlock Loose Fit Attire, you need to invest a lot of time and effort to accumulate EXP. Specifically, players must accumulate 108,000 Series EXP and reach level 25 in the latest PVP series to obtain this reward. Given that each game takes a long time and the actual amount of EXP obtained varies depending on the victory or defeat and the selected game mode, it is difficult to achieve this goal.

How To Obtain Series EXP?

Although Final Fantasy XIV is a PvE-centric game, playing PVP mode is the only way to obtain Series EXP. Players who are interested in PvP can earn combat EXP by participating in activities such as Frontline. Crystalline Conflict is also another PvP activity that is worth a try. As for Rival Wings, since few people actually participate in this mode outside of specific days and times, it may not be the best choice.

• Mode: Frontline; Time: 10–20 Minutes; Reward: 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,500
• Mode: Crystaline Conflict; Time: 2–5 Minutes; Reward: 700 / 900
• Mode: Rival Wings; Time: 7–15 Minutes; Reward: 750 / 1,250

Therefore, the most efficient way is undoubtedly to participate in Crystalline Conflict. The advantage of this mode is that it takes less time to enter and exit the game, and players can play multiple games in a short period of time.

If each game lasts two minutes, it will take about five hours to accumulate enough experience points. However, if every game goes into overtime, it may take sixteen hours to reach the goal. Therefore, in order to improve efficiency, it is recommended that players try to choose a faster-paced game.

In FFXIV, whether it is the fashionable Loose Fit Attire or the cute Toco Toquito Minion, it takes players a certain amount of effort and time. No matter which method you choose, owning these unique items will add more fun and personalized colors to your adventure.

If you are a loyal player of Final Fantasy 14, in fact, you will find that there are often reference events in the game, such as the recent event that FF16 Clive and Torgal arrived in Eorzea.

Because of the unique nature of FFXIV world, such references can be implemented fairly easily, with no additional explanations as to why characters from another world appear. The existence of multiple worlds in FFXIV universe opens the door to unlimited reference potential.

This is because in Final Fantasy 14, the world was divided into 14 fragments thousands of years ago, and the main fragment is called Source or Hydaelyn. In addition, when raising the possibility of the direction of development after DLC Dawntrail, the game developers mentioned that a multiverse approach will be adopted to deal with potential future content.

So this may make you curious whether these reference events can help you get more FFXIV Gil in the future FF14? Or is it better to introduce crossover events about other games to FFXIV? Based on this, we will give you a preliminary answer from several aspects.

The Power Of References

As a series, Final Fantasy has a habit of referencing other games in the series in each game. The most common form is recurring characters and summons. However, in FF14, these references can be very subtle, depending on how they are implemented in the world of FFXIV.

For example, FFXIV’s fourth DLC, Endwalker, has multiple references to elements of Final Fantasy 4. Loporrits are a fairly obvious reference to Hummingways, which is why each Loporrit’s name ends in “-way”.

In addition, the eventual trial in 6.0 also references the fight against Zeromus in FF4, with its arena style and space location referencing Zeromus before Zeromus appears as a true boss in Endwalker patch content.

In fact, the patch content after Endwalker is full of references to FF4, including entire locations such as Troia, the elemental lords, Golbez, and using a re-arranged version of Sorrow and Loss. Even the character designs pay homage to Amano’s original work for FFIV.

Likewise, you’ll find references to FFIX more prominently in Dawntrail, including allusions to the game similar to the level of allusions to FFIV in Endwalker. For example, the second half of Dawntrail revolves around Alexandria, which is the name of the main kingdom in FFIX, and Alexandria dungeon in Dawntrail even shows architecture similar to the kingdom in FFIX, rather than the futuristic version currently present in FF14.

Even these aspects are just a few of the countless allusions to other Final Fantasy games in FFXIV. Other references include Hrothgar referencing Ronso race from FF10; Triple Triad from FF8; Gold Saucer from FF7, and many more. Of course, Warrior of Light has its roots in the first Final Fantasy game. It’s fair to say that FFXIV embodies the past and future of the entire FF series.

References Maybe Better Than Crossover Events

For FFXIV, hosting crossover events with other games like Fall Guys is a fun way to add some freshness to both games. Especially in the gaps between FF14 releasing major patches and new expansions, you can play these crossover events to ensure you don’t get bored.

However, there is a key difference between references to other games and crossover events for FFXIV - references can be implemented in a way that integrates into FF14 universe and makes you feel it throughout the game. In contrast, crossover events are limited and if you don’t participate in the limited time, you may miss it completely.

Therefore, you will find that references are better than crossover events in terms of accessibility. You don’t have to worry about not being able to participate in references before the references are removed from the game, and can revisit them as many times as you want.

Of course, crossover events have their own advantages. References are often part of the content of the game, but crossover games can provide entertainment while you wait for the next big patch or expansion to be boring, helping you stay interested in the game during the game’s off-season. It’s just that in the long run, references may be better than crossovers.

The World Of FFXIV Can Stand On Its Own

While references can create a rich world in Final Fantasy 14 that veterans of FF series will enjoy exploring, you’ll find that this approach to incorporating other FF games can actually benefit players who have only played FFXIV too.

Because of the universality of some of the worldview settings, this reference feels natural in FF14 universe, so it doesn’t seem strange or break your immersion. And it also helps to give elements from other games in the series of new life in Final Fantasy 14, further building the larger world of FFXIV.

Of course, the unique superiority of references does not mean that FFXIV should not hold crossover events, as they also have their own unique advantages. However, from the perspective of the players, the references that are reinvented and appear naturally in FFXIV bring you more overall benefits by adding permanent playable content.

In fact, a series as long-standing as Final Fantasy has a lot of potential for references and crossovers. And when unrelated games become potential crossover material, the possibilities can even be said to be endless.

In short, based on the richness of FF series and the prosperity of the entire game market, Final Fantasy 14 can further develop itself. Whether through perfect references or rich crossovers, all can make FF14 become an outstanding MMORPG that is both rich in personal characteristics and highly inclusive.

With the release of FFXIV Dawntrail Patch 7.1, a host of new content and challenges were introduced, including some hard-to-collect crafting materials. For example, this update adds six new emotes, but only Water, Attend, Ohokaliy, and Shake Drink are currently available to regular players. Each emote has its own unique unlocking method.

In addition, Corduroy Felt was added to this update. To obtain this precious material, players either need to invest a lot of time to farm in specific locations to find drops, or prepare enough gold to get it from other players. If you can find multiple pieces of Corduroy Felt, this will be a good opportunity for you to earn FFXIV Gil.

How To Get Shake Drink Emote?

As of November 12, 2024, Shake Drink has been available to all players, allowing them to imitate the actions of a bartender by controlling their character to pick up a cocktail shaker and shake it back and forth.

One highlight of Shake Drink emote is its ability to loop infinitely. Unlike emotes that can only be performed once, Shake Drink allows the character to shake the cocktail shaker continuously until the player chooses to stop.

To obtain Shake Drink emote, players need to go to Golden Saucer, a vibrant and grand location in the game. This place is known for its fusion of casino and theme park elements and is one of the most iconic scenes in the game.

First, players should head to the main desk, which is home to the daily Mini Cactpot mini-game and the center of the action. From there, move to the left of the broker until you meet Gold Saucer Attendant named Prize Claimer. This attendant is responsible for managing the process of players exchanging prizes for MGP they earn at Gold Saucer.

After speaking with Prize Claimer, select Prize Exchange option, you can find prizes ranging from a mount worth 4 million MGP to a variety of unique emotes. Of particular note among these prizes is “Ballroom Etiquette – Fancy Beverages” which is the much-sought-after Shake Drink emote.

If you find yourself without enough MGP to earn Shake Drink emote, don’t worry, FFXIV offers a variety of ways to quickly accumulate this valuable currency.

Every day, you can get a free scratch card from Mini Cactpot Broker. Try to get a 1-2-3 or 7-8-9 combination on your card and you’ll have a chance to win a ton of MGP. While this requires a bit of luck, it’s a free opportunity to try every day. Or participate in Gold Saucer’s Event (GATE), which is a quick way to earn MGP. Playing Triple Triad and Chocobo Racing can also earn you MGP. Take the time to master these games and they’ll become a reliable source of MGP for you.

Also, don’t ignore weekly Challenge Log, as these tasks can give you quite a bit of MGP. Finally, if you can get above 80 points on weekly Fashion Report (X: 7.2 Y: 7.3) score sheet, this alone can net you a whopping 60,000 MGP.

How To Get Corduroy Felt?

Corduroy Felt is an important crafting material in FFXIV, and players can obtain it in two major ways: by farming it themselves or by redeeming it on the market board.

If you choose to farm on your own, you will need to obtain Timeworn Br’aaxskin Treasure Maps from Level 100 gathering nodes. These maps can be found in places such as Blooms of Discovery in Living Memory. Since the monsters that spawn are very powerful, it is recommended to open these maps with a group.

Another way is to enter Cenote Ja Ja Treasure Dungeon. Here, you can pick up multiple Corduroy Felt. However, be aware that since you can only have one Timeworn Map at a time, treasure hunting groups usually require you to bring one to the party so that you all have a better chance of reaching Cenote Ja Ja and getting better rewards.

Corduroy Felt is a very popular material that is widely used in a variety of level 100 crafting recipes. Using this material, a series of warm and fashionable equipment can be created, especially suitable for wearing during the cold winter months. These recipes are:

• Wintertide Trapper’s Hat (Weaver)
• Wintertide Blouson (Weaver)
• Wintertide Culottes (Weaver)
• Wintertide Sheath Skirt (Weaver)
• Wintertide Shoes (Leatherworker)

These Corduroy Felt items are Tier 1 items, meaning they can be worn by any character, regardless of their current level. Players can apply these items to their characters by using Glamour Prisms alone or in combination with Glamour Plates.

For those who don’t have the time or resources to gather the required materials, there are also options to obtain items directly from the Market. However, it should be noted that, because of their rarity and usefulness, these items are often expensive.

With this guide, you have learned how to obtain two important items, Shake Drink Emote and Corduroy Felt. Hopefully, this information will help you better enjoy the new content and challenges in the game!

A few weeks ago, Final Fantasy XIV released Patch 7.1, which added a lot of new things for players to explore, such as the first level of the latest Alliance Raid, another part of MSQ, and some new crafting materials and recipes. Among all the new items, the most wanted by players is the new Royal Damask.

Although this ingredient can only be used to make Royal Bed, the process of obtaining it is very difficult. This also makes Royal Bed, a seemingly inconspicuous piece of furniture, become the capital of the players who own it.

In order to allow you to show your powerful abilities in the player community as soon as possible, this guide will introduce you to the specific methods of obtaining this precious crafting material and how to use it. Without further ado, let’s start exploring!

How To Get?

First of all, we need to understand that Royal Damask will only appear in Echoes of Vana’diel Alliance Raid. If you are a loyal player of Final Fantasy series of games, you will experience the original FF11 here. There are a lot of nostalgic-themed raids that allow you to complete them while enjoying the retro feel.

But it should be noted that you need to meet some conditions to unlock the first tier of quests in this raid. First, you need to have a level 100 Disciple of War Class or Disciple of Magic Class, then you need to complete all MSQs in 7.0 Dawntrail, and finally you need to ensure that your item level is 695 or above.

If you haven’t completed the above three requirements before exploring, you can spend as much FFXIV Gil as possible on upgrades or quests. Once you meet the requirements, you can go to Tuliyollal and stand next to the main Aetheryte in the city and talk to Hoobigo Messenger.

It will give you a quest called An Otherworldly Encounter, after which you need to go to Mamook and talk to Miilal Ja, the mother of Bakool Ja Ja. Then, you can talk to several NPCs around as many times as required in the quest log, and after a few cutscenes, you will unlock Jeuno: The First Walk.

Now you are inside the raid, but be aware that you may have to wait in line for a long time before entering the raid, as many players want to get the precious Royal Damask. So if you find that your waiting time is more than 30 minutes, you can give up this time and instead upgrade your fishing or cooking level to unlock more Major-General minions.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that even if you have entered the raid, there is no guarantee that you will get Royal Damask after the first run. It is precisely because of this very low drop rate that it has become a very scarce crafting material. Since you will enter this raid with other players, you also need to be wary of other players competing for it.

How To Use?

As I just said, Royal Damask is an essential crafting material in making Royal Bed, but it needs to be reminded that this recipe can only be obtained by your Carpenters reaching level 100. You can find the recipe for this interior furniture in Carpenters section of Job Menu in the game interface.

In addition to Royal Damask, which is very difficult to obtain, you will also need the following materials to start making it. Here I can remind you that you can first farm the easier materials in the recipe, such as White Gold Ingots or Ancient Lumbers, which will help you save a lot of time and energy.

• 32 Wind Crystals
• 32 Ice Crystals
• 3 Dark Mahogany Lumber
• 3 White Gold Ingots
• 3 Thunderyards Silks
• 3 Ancient Lumbers
• 3 Rubies

While Royal Bed isn’t a high-quality item, that’s useful to you in your quests or combat, you’ll need 4207 Craftsmanship to craft it. You can then put it on display in your own house or apartment. If you’re a player with a strong business brain, you can also place it in the player community or on Marketboard in exchange for some FFXIV Gil.

While some players may think that spending so much time and effort crafting furniture in an MMO like Final Fantasy XIV is completely unnecessary, the sense of accomplishment you get when you create the perfect virtual space is incredibly satisfying, and it goes without saying that plenty of players will praise you for it. But for this Final Fantasy XIV Item, in addition to the final crafting materials, the interesting music and game mechanics in Jeuno: The First Walk are also worth trying for many players.

That’s how to get Royal Damask after Final Fantasy XIV released Patch 7.1, and how to use it. I hope you can explore some new gaming experiences in this beautiful MMO, and make a Royal Bed that you can show off soon. I wish you a happy game!

Like many MMORPGs, players can challenge some high-level and difficult ultimate bosses in Final Fantasy 14’s raids, which will also provide you with some rare and exclusive loot. This loot has become the main reason for players to hit these extremely difficult savage raids.

In the previous basic game, these very valuable loot were only obtained by those high-level players. But in the current Dawntrail expansion, you can revisit those bosses you haven’t challenged before to get those loot. And in this expansion, the character’s abilities have been strengthened, which makes it easier for you to get them.

Among these loot, players may pay the most attention to mounts, because it not only can lead you to shuttle freely throughout the map but also demonstrates your combat ability-because some mounts require you to experience arduous battles to obtain. One of them is the Alte Roite, a winged serpent, so this guide will show you how to get it easily.

Preparation

First of all, you need to know that Alte Roite Mount is a guaranteed drop in the level 70 savage raid called Deltascape V4.0 (Savage). To unlock this raid, you need to complete the level 70 Main Scenario Quest called Stormblood to unlock Omega raid series.

In this raid series, you will receive a quest called The Hunt for Omega from an NPC called Wedge located in Rhalgr’s Reach (X:12.6, Y:12.4). In this quest, you need to defeat the four bosses that appear in the Deltascape raid on Normal difficulty, which will successfully complete The Anomaly quest and obtain FFXIV Gil reward.

After completing a series of operations, you need to return to Rhalgr’s Reach again and talk to Magitek Terminal there and select Access the Savage Initiative option. After this option, you will unlock the savage difficulty version of all Deltascape boss fights.

Start Fighting

In this Deltascape V4.0 (Savage), the boss that drops Alte Roite is Exdeath, so you need to defeat it. This is also a digital recreation of the monster of the same name in Final Fantasy 5.

Although Exdeath’s attack mechanism and special mechanism are much more difficult than the enemies in Main Scenario Quest or the dungeon, don’t worry, the new items introduced in Dawntrail expansion will make it easy to defeat this enemy.

In addition, you can also open Duty Finder window and enter Duty Finder Setting interface through the gear icon in the upper left corner of the window. Here you can turn on Unrestricted Party option, which will prevent your other characters in the game from leveling up to level 70 at the same time, and have unrestricted power during the fight with Exdeath.

If you want to fight Exdeath alone, then Tank is your best choice in the class. In addition, when your item level reaches 730, some DPS Classes can also defeat Exdeath independently. It depends on your play style and habits.

Players with lower item levels don’t need to be discouraged. You can form a team with other players who have enabled Unrestricted Party, so that you can defeat this tough boss faster, and most importantly, there is a significant possibility that some of the boss mechanisms in the later stages will be omitted.

Combat Mechanics

Know yourself and your enemy, and you’ll win every battle. So before you officially challenge Exdeath, you should first understand what kind of mechanics you will encounter in the battle with it, and how you should deal with it.

Dualcast + Blizzard III

Exdeath will use two sets of avoidable AOEs to target each player’s position quickly and launch continuous attacks on them. At this time, what you or your team should do is to stack together as much as possible to reduce the space occupied by the blizzard, and then dodge.

Dualcast + Thunder III

This mechanic will focus on damaging the tank and double-strike it, which is fatal damage to those players with lower item levels, so you need to do everything you can to avoid it. For players with higher item levels, you can use defensive skills as much as possible to ensure your safety, or you can exchange with the tank’s Provoke ability to share the damage.

Dualcast + Fire III

Like Dualcast + Blizzard III, Exdeath will fire two AOE damage to you, but this is unavoidable. First Exdeath hits all DPS players, and then all non-DPS players. At this time, you should try to spread out as much as possible to avoid hitting each other.

White Hole

This mechanic will petrify all players with less than maximum health, and those with less than half health will be defeated immediately. So before it releases this skill, you need to restore your health to a safe range as much as possible to ensure that you will not be killed in one blow.

Decisive Battle

When Exdeath starts to get close to the last tentacle, it means that this mechanic is about to be triggered. It will cause the tentacle to sprout here and cause damage to you and your team. In this mechanic, Exdeath will follow the tentacle and disappear when it is knocked back. So this requires you to try to complete this battle behind the head in the center of the arena while avoiding damage.

Grand Cross Alpha

Exdeath will first perform a period of Hysteria in this stage. At this time, you need to try to stand in the center of the arena to avoid being forced to leave. Then the first Flood of Naught will cause additional damage to the player closest to it and trigger Off-balance debuff. You need to stand still here to avoid being knocked down by the speed bomb.

The second Flood of Naught will show a blue triangle and purple prism, which will force you to stand in the arena and put you on the other half of your White Wound or Black Wound debuff, increasing the damage you take. All you can do here is to use defensive skills as much as possible to protect yourself.

The above is the preparation and specific combat mechanics for defeating Exdeath to obtain Alte Roite Mount in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail expansion. I hope that after reading this guide, you can easily obtain the very cool Alte Roite Mount, and wish you a happy game!

Ever since Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail was officially released, it has been talked about in the endgame meta of the popular MMO, especially the savage raids that players have always loved. You need to do a certain amount of preparation before the savage raids, so you need to collect the best gear currently available and collect their stats.

So in the game, it’s troublesome to figure out which gear is worth using, because it is not straightforward to change each stat. For Healing mains, you can use Party Finder to find some of the best gear. If you haven’t unlocked this yet, why not follow the steps in this guide to find the best gear for your healer?

Before reading this guide, you need to prepare your FFXIV Gil so that when you choose the gear you like, you can upgrade it accordingly. This will make it easier for you in battle.

White Mage

White Mage is a better choice of gear than other Healers because their BiS is not affected by a certain spell speed threshold. So players who often use other healers may choose White Mage’s gear combination based on previous experience.

• Skyruin Cane (Weapon)
• Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
• Light-heavy Coat of Healing (Body)
• Light-heavy Halfgloves of Healing (Hands)
• Light-heavy Brais of Healing (Legs)
• Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
• Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
• Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
• Resilient Bracelet of Healing (Bracelet)
• Light-heavy Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
• Resilient Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
• Creamy Alpaca Pasta (Food)

But for White Mage, you need to prioritize Mind and Critical Hit Rate. Vegetable Soup is a good choice, as it focuses more on Determination instead of Spell Speed ​​than Creamy Alpaca Pasta. It all depends on your personal preference. If you want to improve your Determination, you can choose Vegetable Soup. If you choose another one, your Spell Speed ​​will be increased by one Tier.

In addition, you can also let White Mage try some Light-heavy gear sets obtained from Normal Arcadion Raids, but it should be noted that you may need to grind them several times before they can play the best effect. So you can replace them with Extreme Trial gear or Tomestone Gear until you have completed the necessary data collection.

If you use Alarm clocking, you will not have time to grind with this gear. Then you need to remove the body piece and ring and replace them with Tomestone gear, so that your damage will be maximized, and you can also better protect yourself.

Astrologian

Compared to White Mage, Astrologian needs more gear that can reduce skill cooldown. Therefore, it will need more Spell Speed. But this does not mean that you need to give him all the gear that can enhance Spell Speed, just a little is enough.

• Skyruin Orrery (Weapon)
• Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
• Neo Kingdom Coat of Healing (Body)
• Neo Kingdom Armlets of Healing (Hands)
• Light-heavy Brais of Healing (Legs)
• Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
• Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
• Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
• Resilient Bracelet of Healing (Bracelet)
• Resilient Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
• Light-heavy Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
• Fruit and Aloe Jelly (Food)

The stats you really need to consider are Mind and Determination, and your focus is on fusing Savage Aim Materia. To get the best stats and upgrade them the most, choose light-heavy gear in order from legs to feet to rings. If you plan to dive into Savage raid right away, you can move the ring order down and choose the best crafted gear first.

Scholar

Most of Scholar’s BiS gear is the same as Astrologian, with only a few Materia differences. Also, in Dawntrail, the addition of Seraphism changes the way you manage your GCD.

• Skyruin Codex (Weapon)
• Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
• Neo Kingdom Coat of Healing (Body)
• Neo Kingdom Armlets of Healing (Hands)
• Light-heavy Brais of Healing (Earrings)
• Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
• Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
• Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
• Resilient Bracelet of Healing (Bracelet)
• Resilient Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
• Light-heavy Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
• Fruit and Aloe Jelly (Food)

For Scholar’s Spell Speed, the most important thing to focus on is its a 2.40 value. Like Astrologian, if you want to get the best stats, you also need to choose light-heavy gear in order from legs to feet to rings.

Sage

Sage is the most damage-focused of all healers, which also means they will focus more on Determination and Direct Hit. Because of this difference, BiS Sage gear will prioritize body pieces with Artifact Gear set.

• Skyruin Wings (Weapon)
• Neo Kingdom Hat of Healing (Head)
• Asklepian Coat (Body)
• Neo Kingdom Armlets of Healing (Hands)
• Neo Kingdom Breeches of Healing (Earrings)
• Light-heavy Shoes of Healing (Feet)
• Resilient Earrings of Healing (Earrings)
• Resilient Choker of Healing (Necklace)
• Light-heavy Armband of Healing (Bracelet)
• Light Heavy Ring of Healing (Right Ring)
• Resilient Ring of Healing (Left Ring)
• Vegetable Soup (Food)

Unlike the previous jobs, in order to get the best properties, you need to select Light-heavy Feet first, then accessories. Unless you set Alarm clocking, it is completely unworthy to choose Light-heavy Ring of Healing for Sage. In contrast, you can choose some of the newly crafted rings released in Patch 7.05 as your gear.

That’s all about how to prepare for a raid as a healer in Dawntrail. I hope this guide can help you with your choices. Have fun playing Dawntrail!

Final Fantasy XIV’s latest expansion, Dawntrail, is out. The expansion features a mount called Ty’aitya that is very cute, but requires a lot of effort to obtain. This guide will provide all the information on how to unlock the new Ty’aitya mount, including where to redeem it and how to get the required currency.

How To Unlock Ty’aitya Mount?

To get this giant sugar glider, first, you need to complete FATEs in the six new Dawntrail areas. This will increase your shared FATE level in each area, and you need to raise it to level 4, which requires completing 66 FATEs in each area!

There are 396 FATEs scattered across the six new areas. For efficiency, it is recommended to join a friend or group using Party Finder feature. Once you have completed all FATEs in a certain area and reached the maximum shared Fate level, you will unlock new merchants in the city of Dawntrail.

To get Ty’aitya mount, players must first find Kajeel Ja at Bayside Bevy in Tuliyollal, located at X:12.8 Y:13.0.

Next, in Solution Nine’s Nexus Arcade, they’ll need to visit a merchant named Beryl, who has a shop at X:8.4 Y:14.1.

These vendors will have a range of specialty items, including frame kits. Even better, you can ask them for Turali Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers, which cost 100 Bicolor Gemstones each.

Currently, the primary use of these vouchers is to redeem them for Ty’aitya Whistle, but you’ll need to collect 500 of them before you can redeem them. Besides using vouchers, certain fees and transactions may require FFXIV Gil. So if you have enough Gil, it can be a great way to make your collection journey easier!

Where To Spend Turali Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers?

Obviously, amassing 500 Turali Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers is a challenge. You need to collect 50,000 Bicolor Gemstones, and you can only get 14 Bicolor Gemstones each time by participating in regular FATE activities, which will undoubtedly take quite a long time. Fortunately, with the release of Dawntrail, the way you get Bicolor Gemstones has also changed a bit.

For example, defeating a world boss FATE like Ttokrrone will give you 100 Bicolor Gemstones at once! In addition, if you defeat Forlorn Maidens or Forlorn (these enemies appear randomly in certain FATEs) before completing certain FATE activities, you will also be rewarded with additional experience and Bicolor Gemstones, which can significantly shorten your grinding time.

Once you have successfully collected 500 Turali Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers, your next stop is Mor Dhona. You will need to travel to House of Splendors in Rowena, located in the northern part of Aetheryte, where you will meet the merchant named Edelina (coordinates X:22.1 Y:4.9).

She sells luxury mounts for 50 million FFXIV Gil each, she also offers an option specifically for exchanging Gemstone Vouchers, where you can exchange your Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers for Ty’aitya Whistle (or some other items if you have Bicolor Gemstone Vouchers from Shadowbringers or Endwalker on hand).

Once you receive the whistle, simply deposit it into your inventory to add the mount to your collection!

With the release of Dawntrail, there are even more unique mounts to collect! The process of acquiring Ty’aitya mount is long and challenging, but it is undoubtedly a worthwhile adventure for players who are keen on collecting mounts. Not only will players be able to experience the excitement of the new area, but they’ll also can add this unique sugar glider to their mount collection.

After the release of Patch 7.01 for FFXIV, all players are eager to compete in the first Savage tier of FFXIV’s Dawntrail. Although everyone will have their own strategies, I believe many players can’t wait.

As with any previous encounter, you need to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy in a variety of ways. For some players, it may be more important to focus on the cooperation between the team and want to make a set of equipment that suits the members of the group, while others want to adapt themselves to the team and make a set of equipment that can be used by various teams.

Both are possible, so before the official release of July 30, what you need to do is to understand the attribute priority of the fusion and collect equipment with the attributes needed to fill the gaps. In this way, you can be calm when you are in a formal match or battle.

At present, some equipment options are more suitable for certain jobs than others. While this gear set may be suitable for most players, you can adjust the attributes according to the play style and maximize the rotation of the team. This guide will walk you through what you need to do to prepare for the different jobs.

Best Gear Before Arcadion Savage

No matter what job you play, there are a few items that you will want, though with some adjustments based on the stat priorities you choose.

You’ll want weapons for Worqor Lar Dor Extreme and accessories for Everkeep Extreme. Some gear sets prior to Patch 7.05 will replace accessories with normal raid gear, but you’ll want to pay attention to the recommended gear for a specific group. Otherwise, choosing by stat priority is your best option.

Players can get two weeks of normal raid gear from Arcadion before Savage is released. Below, each job has the recommended gear that should be obtained before entering Savage.

Fusion Priorities

Before entering Savage, all jobs have the same fusion priorities. As with everything in this guide, this may change as you craft the best gear. Most jobs will use the following fusion priorities for their gear.

Fusion Attribute Priority for All Jobs

• Critical Hit (Crit)
• Determination (Det)/Direct Hit (DH)
• Spell Speed ​​(SpS)/Skill Speed ​​(SkS)

Critical Hit (Crit) should be maxed on all gear, then Determination or Direct Hit (Det) should be prioritized based on the stats of that gear. Spell Speed ​​and Skill Speed ​​can be used to round out your rotation, but should only be used when you need to or your team is trying to round out the buff window.

Pre-Savage Gear Set For Each Job

Healer

Healers can use Fruit and Aloe Jelly as food, plus Grade 1 Gemdraught of Mind, so that your Spell Speed ​​will be integrated into a very comfortable speed, which is also convenient for you to execute or rotate correctly, and most importantly, it can be aligned with the team’s buff windows.

Usually, healers prioritize Normal Raid leg gear, followed by shoes and an accessory. Some players will add a ring and then use stat priority to integrate your gear. If you find that you can’t manage MP well, you can put some Ether potions in your bar as a backup.

Tank

The selection of Tank differs from Healer. Here, Fruit and Aloe Jelly is provided to provide additional Crit and Det, while Vegetable Soup is provided to provide DH and Det. You can choose the food that’s best for you based on your play style or the needs of your team.

For pots, you can carry both Strength and Vitality pots. This way you can pick up gear and FFXIV Gil easily, both when you face off against a mechanic and when you do a DPS check after defeating them.

Speaking of tank gear, you’ll need to decide which gear you’ll use in Savage during Normal Raids - by checking their stat priority. Each tank will need to decide which stats they want to prioritize. There are a few calculators that can help you figure out which gear you should pick up for your job based on your personal and team goals.

Melee DPS

All Melee DPS rely heavily on Det and DH increase provided by Vegetable Soup, but Fruit and Aloe Jelly can also provide some stats you want. Your choice will mainly come down to whether you want to rely on the team or want the team to cooperate with you.

Melee DPS has a few Normal Raid gear that’s best suited for each job. Use the gear calculator to figure out which stats you want to prioritize, and keep in mind that Vitality may be a stat to consider when going into Savage fights. The longer the fight, the more you see, and the more survival skills you learn to understand the next mechanic.

Physical Ranged DPS

Physical Ranged DPS gear is pretty much the same, with Vegetable Soup for food and Dexterity pots for their medicine.

Using fused attribute priorities, Normal Raid gear is pretty standard across all three jobs in this class. Players should prioritize getting the legs, then the chest. Many players will get the chest in the second and third weeks of Normal Raids, so be prepared to do a few more until you can get all four pieces.

Most jobs in this class don’t require Skill Speed ​​meld, as the standard attributes will allow for double weaving and fully aligned buff windows. Focusing on Crit, Det, and DH, you should prepare your gear until you can get a crafted set.

Magical Ranged DPS

Casters are also pretty standard in terms of gear across jobs. Like all other DPS jobs, casters can use Vegetable Soup for food. For potions, Intelligence Gemdraughts are sufficient.

Normal Raid gear gives you access to hands and feet, which are the first parts to pick up, followed by legs the following week. Since casters must remain still to cast certain spells, it can be difficult for them to get around the mechanics, so consider using fusion to change SpS and practice slidecasting.

The reduction in the time required to cast a spell will affect the timing of slidecasting, which is a must if you want to maximize damage and practice ABC — Always Be Casting. It also affects the timing of the burst window, so be sure to coordinate with your team when to start the burst.

The above are some preparations you need to make before Savage Raid. I hope you can have fun playing this new content on FFXIV’s Dawntrail!
