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!

In any MMORPG, leveling up is a very important thing. You need to start at level 1 and work your way up to the highest level so you can do the most damage. Final Fantasy XIV is no exception, and with the addition of Dawntrail, you can finally level up to 100!

Reaching level 100 can be a bit difficult for some players who don’t know the mechanics of Final Fantasy XIV, and there are over twenty jobs to level up, which means you’ll need to spend a lot of time on it. However, this guide will help you with roulettes! You can participate in daily events to earn extra experience points to level up most efficiently.

Normal Raids

As the name suggests, Normal Raid includes the previous normal version of the 8-person raid, Alexander Raid of Ishgard, and the latest Arcadion Raid. These raids depend on the level you queue for. These raids take about 5-10 minutes to complete, making them a quick and enjoyable interaction.

The experience points it provides are relatively small, giving you about 5-10% of your total level. This is also the least attractive roulette for players.

High-Level Dungeons

You might think from its name that High-Level Dungeons will give you higher experience points, but in fact, it only gives you about a quarter of your level of experience.

But fortunately, when you explore some high-level dungeons, you can also get some additional experience points and FFXIV Gil from the dungeon boss. The time you need to spend on this roulette is also short, only 15 to 20 minutes, so you can play it in a short period of free time.

Trials

Like Normal Raids, you participate in quick and easy content in Trials, but this is only the normal version. The extreme version of Mentor Roulette features a completely unique experience. Normal Trials only take about 5-10 minutes, but the extreme version may take you longer, but fortunately no more than 30 minutes.

While Trials are content that everyone can access, the experience points you get in different versions are also different. You may get a 10% return in the normal version, and 40% in the extreme version. It all depends on your luck and the strength of your character.

Alliance Raid

Alliance Raid roulette is actually a gamble between you and time efficiency. On the one hand, you may only spend 15 minutes to complete A Realm Reborn or Heavensward raid. On the other hand, it may take you more than half an hour to complete the last raid of Endwalker. Which raid you enter depends on which other players are in the raid and you need to divert from them.

Back to the point, it still depends on your sanity. Because you will spend much more energy running Laybrinth of Ancients or World of Darkness every day than spending twice as much time to get more experience points. But the experience points you get in Alliance Raid are the highest, reaching 50% to 66% of your upgrade bar, even comparable to daily roulette.

Leveling

Many players are a little controversial about leveling, because the average time spent on upgrading most dungeons is about 15 minutes, which is basically no difference. In addition, it is a must-do every day for those who want to level up.

But in fact, it doesn’t matter which dungeon you unlock first or which dungeon you level up. Even some earlier dungeons, especially Aurum Vale, will only allow you to receive more experience points, loot, and FFXIV Gil. No matter which dungeon you play, you will get half of the experience points of the entire upgrade progress bar!

Main Scenario

To be honest, not many players like to play the main scenario roulette, but for those new players, it is still necessary to rely on it to complete A Realm Reborn. That’s why Square Enix has designed daily roulette for it, where you can get rich rewards.

At this stage, the developers have newly designed Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium for players, and you only need to spend 15-20 minutes exploring the dungeon and 15 minutes on Ultima Boss. This is about half the time of the previous time, so you can complete more of these daily activities.

Speaking of level experience points, Castrum and Ultima will generate about 33% of your levels, while Praetorium will generate half to two-thirds of the levels. This is very valuable for players who have more leisure time and want more level experience points. However, you may spend a little too much brainpower here.

Frontlines

As we all know, PVP has never been Final Fantasy XIV’s strong point. Although the developers always make some changes in rewards and even hold their own tournaments during Fan Fests to make it more attractive. But it lags far behind the PVE content in the game.

So why is frontlines here? Because players can level up faster in PVP. Every time Square Enix releases a new expansion pack, Frontlines suddenly appears. Compared to all previous roulettes, you can invest less time in daily roulette, but get the highest experience value. You can get more than 66% of experience in less than 15 minutes!

These are the roulettes you can choose from in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail to help you level up. You can choose the one that suits you best based on your time and energy! Have fun exploring Dawntrail!

In Final Fantasy 14’s Dawntrail, the developers have new role quests for every role in the game, including Physical DPS, Magical Ranged DPS, and Tanks we’re talking about today.

Each role has a series of quests that must be completed, normally 7, and the next one will only be unlocked after you complete the previous one. This can take a lot of time, but fortunately, this guide will give you a detailed introduction to every point to pay attention to in the Tank role quests, as well as what you need to prepare, so that you don’t fight unprepared.

Prerequisites For All Quests

First, you need to reach level 90 of Tank Job Class, whether you use Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight or Gunbreaker. If you don’t choose Tank role in the early game, don’t worry, you can unlock it later.

So if you were previously using a Physical DPS role, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Once you reach level 90 with this job, complete Feat of Pots and Uncouth Customers, and you’ll officially receive your first Tank role quest, The Narwhal Beckons.

Feat of Pots is a quest you get at level 92, and it’s available after you complete Lending a Helphand quest. Uncouth Customers’ quest is a side quest you can find in Tuliyollal.

The Narwhal Beckons Quest

To complete The Narwhal Beckons quest, you need to go to Tuliyollal and talk to Loazenikwe. If you don’t have a good sense of direction, you can go directly to the coordinates X:12.9, Y:15.0. After talking to her, you’ll be teleported to Foundation in Ishgard.

There you can talk to Gibrillont, who is at (X:13.0, Y:11.8). After the conversation, you need to go to Jeweled Crozier in Pillars and look for Tentoawa. This NPC is standing outside in plain sight and has blue hair, which makes it very conspicuous. After talking to him, he will ask you to find Firmalbert.

You can find him near Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly in Saint Valeroyant’s Forum, or you can find him outside the building. After you talk to him, remember to return to Tentoawa and complete your quest. His location has not changed, and after talking to him again, you can unlock the next quest: Sleepless in Ishgard.

Sleepless In Ishgard Quest

After talking to Tentoawa, you will be teleported to Coerthas Central Highlands. You need to find Providence Point in this area and find Eugennoix in Camp Dragonhead, south of it.

After talking to him, you can continue walking south in the direction you just went, and you will meet Tentoawa again. If you don’t want to walk far, you can use your mount to reach Observatorium directly, and he will ask you to help him defeat some ravenous silver wolves on the road south of Observatorium.

This is a very simple battle. After you complete it, you can use the carriage to approach House Fortemps Knight and help them. After the cutscene plays, you can return to Foundation in Ishgard and talk to Firmalbert again.

Finally, you still have to go back to Tentoawa’s location and talk to him. This will end your second quest and start the next quest - Between Sleep and Death.

Between Sleep And Death Quest

Just stay where you were in the last quest and stay with Tentoawa in Jeweled Crozier. After a cutscene with him, you need to go to Falcon’s Nest in the southern part of Coerthas Western Highlands. You will find a very obvious tent in this area, and in front of the tent is the protagonist of this quest, Redwald, and talk to him.

After chatting, go north from this location and you will pass a Black Iron Bridge. After the bridge, you will enter Gorgagne Mills, where you need to find Tentoawa. Once you find him, talk to him as before, then you can enter the house and go down to the bottom floor.

On the bottom floor, you can defeat the enemies in the purple circle. After the battle, crouch down and House Duerndaire Scout will give you some XP and FFXIV Gil. There will be another cutscene, and then you will be taken outside to fight more enemies.

After you defeat the last group of enemies, you can return to Foundation of Ishgard and find Firmalbert instead of Tentoawa. Your quest will end with your chat.

Beacon In The Darkness Quest

After the cutscene, you need to talk to Firmalbert again, which means your Beacon In The Darkness quest begins. In this quest, not only do you need to talk to an NPC, but you also need to go to Four Arms to get 2 sun-drenched dandelions.

You can find them near Zenith of Churning Mists. They are waiting for you with a glittering golden light. Next, you need to teleport to Idyllshire and search for Great Putrid Morbol.

This enemy is located in the south of this area. Go to Answering Quarter and approach the purple glowing point of Destination on the ground, and the enemy will appear. After completing the battle, you must return to Ishgard Foundation, find Loazenikwe, and give him saliva and a sun-soaked dandelion.

Then return to Jeweled Crozier outside, where the conversation here is still between you and Tentoawa. Once the conversation begins, your mission ends.

Dreams Of A New Day Quest

This is the final Tank role mission in Dawntrail, and you’ll still need to approach Tentoawa and talk to him. After the cutscene, you need to go to Ok’Zundu in the Abalathia’s Spine area and talk to Sonu Vanu.

Once there, you’ll go up the stairs to the top floor of town, where you’ll find Sonu Vanu. After talking to him, you’ll need to approach Tentoawa and start a battle for Dreams of a New Day. In this battle, you’ll face Leophyne and her enemies, along with Tentoawa, Loazenikwe, and some Zundu warriors.

After you defeat the first group of enemies she brings, you’ll be able to fight Leophyne directly. She’ll use attacks that have a wide range of impact, but these attacks will appear on the ground, so they can be easily avoided. If you find yourself when you can’t avoid them, you’ll need to use your defensive abilities to protect yourself.

While you’re fighting here, another group of her helpers will appear, and you’ll need to eliminate them before fighting her again. So keep your eyes and ears open, and protect yourself. After you finally defeat these enemies, there will be another cutscene, and you will need to talk to Tentoawa again.

Finally, return to Ishgard and talk to Handeloup, and also talk to Loazenikwe in Tuliyollal in Yok Tural. These guys and Tentoawa will be waiting for you there, and thank you for all your help to the people of Ishgard.

That’s it for the Tank role. It can be a bit tedious, but stick with it, it’s very satisfying to do. Have fun on Dawntrail!

The release of Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail has players entering uncharted territory regarding certain job abilities and cooldowns. As a result, many players are wondering which foods and gear they should spend their limited resources on.

In fact, each job has two or three good meal options. Which food a player prefers depends on the stats provided by the rest of the gear and the play style. Want to know what the best food for raids is for each job? Read on as this guide will give tips on the best raid food for each job and how to choose the right one.

Best In Slot Food For Melee DPS Jobs

For Melee DPS Jobs like Monk, the new Viper, or Samuri, they benefit from similar stats to Tanks with an additional focus on crit. Therefore, they have the same BiS food. Fruit and Aloe Jelly is the top choice for raids since the 7.01 patch. Vegetable Soup can also be used in raids.

Fruit And Aloe Jelly

• Determination +8% (Max 90)
• Vitality +8% (Max 132)
• Critical Hit +8% (Max 54)

Fruit and Aloe Jelly combines a sizable Critical Hit bonus with Vitality and Determination. Not only will players see a significant increase in damage from Determination and Critical Hit stats, but it also provides nearly as much Vitality as Vegetable Soup, so Fruit and Aloe Jelly has the perfect combination of stats for Melee DPS players.

Vegetable Soup

• Direct Hit Rate +8% (Max 96)
• Vitality +8% (Max 141)
• Determination +8% (Max 58)

This meal lacks critical hits compared to Fruit and Aloe Jelly, which can cause players using it to lag slightly behind in damage output. Because of its combination of high IL and Direct Hit and Vitality, this meal is universally useful. For Melee DPS, small amounts of Vitality and Determination can greatly increase survivability while providing a modest damage buff.

Best In Slot Food For Ranged DPS

While Skill Speed ​​can reduce GCDs and increase the frequency of team buffs, ranged DPS are usually more focused on Determination and Direct Hit. Determination and Direct Hit are always good, while Skill Speed ​​usually improves to a certain level. Therefore, Vegetable Soup or Mesquite Soup are the preferred meals, depending on your desired stats.

Vegetable Soup

• Direct Hit Rate +8% (Max 96)
• Vitality +8% (Max 141)
• Determination +8% (Max 58)

Ranged DPS classes can use it if they have already reached the required GCD level through some gear from FFXIV Items. It is usually Vegetable Soup is the typical meal choice for Machinists, ideal for raw damage output.

Mesquite Soup

• Skill Speed ​​+8% (Max 96)
• Vitality +8% (Max 141)
• Direct Hit Rate +8% (Max 58)

In contrast to Vegetable Soup, Mesquite Soup can increase the player’s GCD to the next level by simply eating it while providing a solid Direct Hit increase. This allows Bard and Dancer’s buffs to have a longer overall duration in combat, significantly increasing overall team damage.

Best In Slot Food For Magical DPS

Magical DPS jobs prefer to deal as much damage as possible directly and enough Spell Speed ​​to hit the player’s chosen GCD tipping point. Considering the ultimate gear available in Dawntrail, the best foods to eat are Vegetable Soup and Creamy Alpaca Pasta.

Vegetable Soup

• Direct Hit Rate +8% (Max 96)
• Vitality +8% (Max 141)
• Determination +8% (Max 58)

Vegetable Soup is suitable for players of jobs that want to maximize damage output regardless of GCD, such as Black Mages, and those who have already reached the required Spell Speed ​​Cap.

Creamy Alpaca Pasta

• Spell Speed ​​+8% (Max 96)
• Vitality +8% (Max 141)
• Direct Hit Rate +8% (Max 58)

Creamy Alpaca Pasta can help players reach the next Spell Speed ​​breakpoint while providing a moderate amount of Direct Hit Rate. This is most useful for jobs whose damage is tied to skills with long cooldowns, such as Summoner or the new Pictomancer.

Best In Slot Food For Tanks

Tanks usually look for Vitality, Tenacity, and Determination or Critical Hit in their food. With the introduction of Dawntrail Raids and Culinarian Recipes, Gunbreakers prefer Fruit and Aloe Jelly, or Tacos De Carne Asada. For most other tanking jobs, Vegetable Soup is the best choice.

Vegetable Soup

• Direct Hit Rate +8% (Max 96)
• Vitality +8% (Max 141)
• Determination +8% (Max 58)

It’s no surprise that Vegetable Soup has become a BiS food. After all, it’s hard to compete with Vitality, Determination, and Direct Hit Rate. For players who have limited crit buffs in a group, Vegetable Soup should be eaten. The extra Vitality is also useful in some trials with high damage.

Fruit And Aloe Jelly

• Determination +8% (Max 90)
• Vitality +8% (Max 132)
• Critical Hit +8% (Max 54)

Tacos De Carne Asada has the lowest DPS of the three dishes, but at the expense of its survivability. Tanks gain a lot of buffs from Tenacity, which acts like armor in most other games and makes healing magic more powerful. If you’re struggling to survive in Tank Busters and want to take some pressure off your healers, this dish might be a good choice.

Best In Slot Food For Healers

Healers in Final Fantasy 14 will choose foods that have Determination, Critical Hit, or Direct Hit bonuses. Spell Speed ​​can drastically increase your damage and healing output, but don’t use it in excess or it’ll severely deplete your MP reserves. As such, Vegetable Soup or Fruit and Aloe Jelly are the best foods to eat during raids.

Vegetable Soup

• Direct Hit Rate +8% (Max 96)
• Vitality +8% (Max 141)
• Determination +8% (Max 58)

Vegetable Soup provides a large amount of Determination and Vitality, both of which are useful for healing jobs. While Direct Hit doesn’t help players with their primary function of staying alive, it can drastically increase their damage output between healing sessions. Healers typically have very few Direct Hit in their gear, so any increase can have a dramatic effect.

Fruit And Aloe Jelly

• Determination +8% (Max 90)
• Vitality +8% (Max 132)
• Critical Hit +8% (Max 54)

Fruit and Aloe Jelly is more healing-focused, because while it provides slightly lower overall stats, it provides Critical Hit instead of Direct Hit. Critical Hit not only affects the player’s damaging skills, but can also trigger healing casts. Critical Hit can be a significant change in high-level content and never refuses to increase the chance of a critical hit.

In summary, with a reasonable combination of food and equipment, players can maximize their job potential and gain an advantage in combat in Dawntrail.

Final Fantasy 14’s Dawntrail expansion has arrived in the last month, and fans around the world have been talking about it so far. Their focus is mainly on MSQ and the three main characters - Warrior of Light, Scions, and Wuk Lamat.

MSQ in Dawntrail can be completed in a few days or weeks, because the story in Dawntrail is so fascinating that people have to complete various tasks all the time without taking a break. After completing MSQ in Dawntrail, you may want to close the game and start waiting for the next update to be released.

But don’t do that, you can still explore Dawntrail in depth with the few things provided in this guide. Because FFXIV is a game with a very high degree of freedom, you can explore Dawntrail in your own way in your free time.

Collect All Aether Currents In Dawntrail

As you progress through MSQ, you may find yourself unable to fly through some of the scenic areas with your mount. This is because there are not enough Aether Currents in the area of MSQ. Once you leave MSQ, you can use the aether compass to find the available aether in each area.

In addition to using the aether compass to find the aether you want, you can also return to the area to complete the aether current side quests, so that you can also collect all the aether.

After you have collected all the aether, you need to wait for a while to use the flying mount to see the whole beautiful area. In addition, you will be more likely to participate in activities such as hunt trains.

Explore Some Expert Dungeons

In MSQ of Dawntrail, you need to complete a number of dungeons to advance the story. Like previous expansions, Dawntrail will release different dungeons as additional content later. If you haven’t waited for the latest dungeons, why not try the two expert dungeons in Tender Valley and Strayborough Deadwalk?

You need to go to Zeycihan to unlock these two dungeons. In contrast, the second expert dungeon, Strayborough Deadwalk, is more challenging than the regular dungeons. If you are a player who likes adventure, then Strayborough Deadwalk dungeon will be perfect for you!

Get Tome Gear

In each expansion, Tome Gear is essential for you to do savage raids, as it will provide you with some high-level items to help you in battle. FFXIV provides you with a variety of ways to collect Tomestones Of Aesthetics, such as dungeons, roulettes, and hunt trains.

Complete Extreme Trials

In FFXIV, there are a series of trials that offer some interesting and challenging mechanics, some of which are also available in the extreme versions. After you complete the MSQ, you’ll also want to make sure you complete Worqor Zormor and Everkeep fights.

Once you have these two conditions, you can head out to Extreme Trials with your party, or you can go into the party finder. While the Extreme Trials are challenging to complete, the rewards are great, including some FFXIV Gil, rare mounts, and raid gear.

This raid gear will give you a higher item level, so you can be ahead of everyone on your first day of savage raids!

Try Normal And Savage Raids

One of the most important and eye-catching parts of an MMO is the raid tiers. Usually released with each new expansion, Dawntrail’s new tier, Arcadion, is a delightful surprise. In these eight-player raids, you’ll have four fights per tier, and you can try out both the normal and savage versions.

If you are a casual player, then the normal raid will be more suitable for you, because you can experience new battles with interesting mechanisms in the normal version, and your nerves will not be so tense. For some high-level players and veteran players, it is cooler to clear the enemies quickly in the brutal version in static.

Design Dawntrail Glamour Sets With New Dye System

FFXIV's glamour system has been considered by players as one of the most important features in the game, and the dye system in Dawntrail also provides players with more creativity. Players who use the dye system can use two different colors to design clothing after you complete the MSQ, so that you will have a unique and eye-catching outfit.

In addition, the dungeons in Dawntrail will also provide you with several very interesting armor sets, and can be used with the new dye system, so that your armor will become unique. For example, the 97-level Vanguard dungeon has the most gorgeous armor set in Dawntrail, which is very suitable for you to use the dye system to create a more beautiful set.

Level Up Other Jobs As Well

Because there are so many jobs in FFXIV, and each job provides different functions. This leads to the fact that you may try every job during the expansion, but you don’t master any of them.

Because in Dawntrail, the maximum level of jobs has been raised to 100. After you complete the main MSQ, you can upgrade the jobs you don’t use often, so that you will have more options when you want to participate in the latest raid later.

If you upgrade all 21 jobs in this game to level 100, you will get the Outrunner mount as your upgrade reward.

Try Two New Jobs

It’s no secret that two new jobs have been added to Dawntrail, but few players have been practicing and upgrading them specifically for Pictomancer and Viper, because everyone still uses the jobs that they used to complete the various tasks on MSQ.

However, once you finish the tasks, you have the option to begin from level 80 and gradually experiment with Pictomancer and Viper for a unique gaming experience. Pictomancer and Viper provide entertainment to the entire game with their stunning movements and animations. I believe you will love these two professions!

It looks like the wait for the next update won't be that long any more. I hope you enjoy exploring Dawntrail outside of MSQ!
