For the GC supply missions: If a crafter item has a star next to it it gives more xp and if you turn in a quality one it gives double that. I used it to level crafters to 60 when you can get scrip gear because each turn in can be as many as 4 levels and good crafting gear for low levels is crazy expensive on the MB. IF you aren't saving for a big item it's a good gil sink to get crafters up completely painlessly
As I said in your previous video, 5yrs of playing and I'm still learning lol. Must be dump I got so mad we couldn't turn off the music in battles and it's litteraly just under the mount music which I turned off at the beginning of Endwalker… lol.
Also the right-click in to turn in your items, I didn't know!! Life changer!!
Thank you!
I actually learned something, I didn't know you could cycle through currencies by clicking on it.
Limited Levelling Roulette doesn't work, period. We had a full party of 4 people all ranging 60-90 and we still got Sasatsha. That button is just pure bullshit.
For materia extraction, use the materia button in your skill panel (P – general). this pulls up a list of all your spirit bond items, Your macro is neat, but it isn't really needed. You can also use the button for aetheric reduction to get a list of all items that can be reduced to sand and crystals.
There is also a sprit bound extraction option in the General tap of your "spell book" that is even easier than the sorting method
how did you know that we didnt know
Gives good tips and is a Stormlight Archive fan. I have to subscribe.
Last one is debatable and depends on your system. If it takes a long time to load limsa, you're better of with Horizon.
Unfortunately I also learned of this only after I was already done with ARR and I was exploring more of the cities. Stumbling upon this by accident, I felt like the dumbest moron.^^
Back then the loading screens were longer, no flying, and we hadn't yet these fancy teleport tickets to wakind sands, yet it would've been still faster than riding very slowly down into the valley and back up to waking sands.
battle effect macro is great
thanks
been playing since 2013 and never thought to try that
Really great quality video, man. I also like that you include some of the tips in the comments as well! Very insightful.
Thank you your videos are very insightfull
one more small thing I'd like to point out which is useful in crafting (people might already know this, but I didn't know this for a long time) is when you're using a macro and you want the macro to stop instantly for some reason during craft, I have a macro with "/echo" in it. it instantly stops the crafting macro.
Just thing it's useful for when something goes wrong during the crafting phase in the macro x)
Supply and Provisioning items for crafters are great if you throw in the gil for the materials for them instead. You can then proceed to craft them and maybe even make them at high quality which is some great exp honestly plus it trains you on how crafting works so you're not fully confused once you're max level and you just blindly use macros without knowing how they work.
limited leveling roulette only works with a full premade
Limited leveling roulette only works when you're a full pre-made party. It does nothing if you're solo. It even says so right in the menu. "Party must meet minimum size requirements." And as for the Vesper Bay trick, that's sort of an illusion, because you're moving less. It's less walking, but you also go through two loading screens rather than one, one of which is to one of the most highly trafficked areas in the game, Limsa Lominsa. Depending on your rig or how many people there are in Limsa, the loading screens may take longer than traveling there, especially if you have a mount or even flying.
I’m so happy to still be learning useful and helpful things from this game! Also a bit embarrassed as I’ve been playing said game for…. a long while. *ahem* Never too late to learn lol. Thank you for this video. Stay safe.
TIPS I discovered since Endwalker:
– Press and hold X to make all names disappear (lifesaver for when 20 people are on top of retainer summon bell, or quest marker)
– Right click Aytherite to change instance (helpful when no fates left, change instance for more fates. Also party members appear as ??? they are in a different instance probably)
– Open Character window with C then > Profile > Title > icon > to set your Title!
1:00 the macro approach is not very efficient. theres a skill you can put on a hotkey that will open a list of items that have 100% spiritbond. no need to hover over every item and right clicking them in your inventories. (you can find it in your skill window in the general tab)
Other than that solid tips!
don't forget /psort
good soup
The thing with the waking sands teleport is that you need 3 loading zones instead of 1 to get there, so in a lot of circumstances it'll be faster going to horizon
the currency one and striking dummy are total gamechangers, im sorry but putting pets to small just makes the comically small, i keep ifrit/garuda/titan at medium,and bahamut/phoenix at large
Join party in progress is amazing. Joined prae once, party was already killing the last boss… so in and out of prae in 10 seconds with full xp gains.
omg thank you so much i was running away from striking dummies too >.<
I've played for over 1300 hours and have no idea what wondrous Trails is. I swear everytime I take a break for a few months, I not only forget half of the things you can do, they add new things I never learn about lol.
Is there a macro for turning scrolling / floating combat txt of on the fly similar to the battle effects off marco
Kind of a rotten tip but everyone's doing it: Want to avoid Rabanastre, and guarantee you always get one of the Crystal Tower raids? Take your gear off until you're below the minimum item level for the higher raids before queuing. If you put yourself around 120ilvl or lower you will always get one of Crystal Tower, Syrcus Tower or Cloud of Darkness for a guaranteed 10-20 minute run.
Last advice made me hate you, why didnt i know this when playing arr??
Probably dumb question but pulling up a hot bar with one button like that is it a macro or setting in the hotbar settings in the HUD
9:20 INCORRECT, me and my two friends were 89 and we still got sunken temple of qarn because of the 4th person in the duty
10:51 oh my god indeed
I’ve been playing since launch and just learned about the striking dummy. Jesus what a game lmao.
Wait what button do you press to bring up the macro hotbar?
you can also type /psort to sort your party instead of doing it from the menu. Focus Target is also a good way to track boss health and boss casting.
Does that pet size thing work for everyone? Like if i did it would it shrink ALL summoners pets for me,

Another tip, You can hold SHIFT when dragging elements in the UI bar to make them stick to the grid.
