[@edeonvails891]

Hey, Zepla! I'm Edeon, the creator of Eorzea Collection and I'm a huuuuuuuge fan! Thank you so much for showcasing the website, it's really a work of passion and love for this game and this community!

[@tata021]

When will the gearsets get an update?

[@edeonvails891]

@@tata021 We've added the gearsets because the website that had those images (xivstyles) was discontinued. So first, I'm focused on adding all the gearsets they had (up to patch 4.2) and integrating them with our system. After that, we'll be focusing on adding the most recent ones!

[@GuyDandy]

@@edeonvails891 your site is soooo helpful as I've been trying out what jobs & looks I want to go after. Thank you!

[@Alex-uk6ey]

@@edeonvails891 Thank you so much for making such a big contribution to the FFXIV community! You have no idea how much it helped me lol. Btw, will you ever add the gearsets from dungeons or from other places in the game that are not currently on the website?

[@edeonvails891]

@@Alex-uk6ey aw, thank you so much! As for the gearsets, yes! We've just finished adding gear that drops from fates, so we're only missing the crafted, dungeon and seasonal gearsets! I'll be adding more tomorrow :)

[@adehenpop2222]

Eorzea collection’s slogan: “welcome to the true endgame” 😂

[@LeonAquitaine]

Edeon's not lying, tho!

[@MysticalShowdown]

Yessss True very true

[@ibigfire]

It's true for many people! That said, that also means that Mog Station items are P2W.

@@ibigfire true, I wont lie, I dip into that a little bit when everything else in my life is F2P

[@waltwhite8126]

Honestly, this is info that I don't see in ANY beginner's guide and it should be in all of them. Great video.

[@kyle8971]

This stuff isn't really new player friendly. Glamours, hunts, crafting rotations, raid guides, gathering timers etc. are all stuff that most new players won't be looking at til quite a bit into the MSQ. This stuff is useful, but for a new player and a beginner's guide (and in a game with the sheer monstrosity of information as FFXIV) this stuff would be even MORE overwhelming than what is already thrown at you.

[@drewfoster6138]

@@kyle8971 I agree I'm struggling to process everything. I have a lvl 54 scholar but only stated about 10 days ago (smashed the MSQ hard) and everything feels a bit overwhelming tbh

[@RTuga02]

@@drewfoster6138 I would say a good site for beginners would be something like "ffxiv.consolegameswiki". At least it has a lot of basic info about everything in the game. I've also started recently and frequently go there.

[@josephamaya6676]

I am sitting here literally in tears from joy. I never knew about these sites and have been playing for 2 years. I feel like such a failure as a FFXIV player.

[@Jesse-2531]

I disagree this is way too much for beginners like me. I am level 35 and it feels like I only don the intro tutorial🥵. But its interesting to know there is way more stuff to do then I ever will do, best 10$ I ever spend on a game even I know there is a free version😊

If you’re a crafter or gatherer, teamcraft is a godsend

[@snoozebutton9996]

All the sites in this Video are amazing, but this one specifically? I'm in total awe. I love Crafting in this game (love, love, love it) and my Botanist and Miner hit 80 in Diadem before my Main Job actually, which sits at 61 atm. So, this site will be my life-saver.

[@avaricsymphorian]

TeamCraft is AWESOME, and even has a desktop app. Before I found TeamCraft, there were like 2 or 3 different sites I'd have open at once for crafting/gathering related stuff, but TeamCraft has it all consolidated in one place.

[@charpad6690]

True; Teamcraft is a mustttt

[@AkhMorning]

Hey Zepla, thanks for mentioning us! We're in the process of adding more to the site with a considerable content update scheduled for this month including more videos, more jobs, more of what we all love about XIV. Very much an exciting time.

[@naif9464]

Thank you for the incredible contribution to the community! AkhMorning has a plethora of good reads and job guides, I appreciate your work :D

[@JoCat]

[@kugelschreiber5678]

😢 that was my go-to. Big sad that it’s been purged.

[@GuyDandy]

What happened with that anyway? Why was it discontinued?

[@NeFlorence]

@@GuyDandy I think it’s due to the person who had the domain just not being able to keep up financially with it? I could be 100% wrong but that’s what I’ve heard

[@TheKingofAfros]

@@NeFlorence you are correct they couldn't keep the domain. Though the EC is taking their files and uploading them

[@sivert42]

I didn't know you were a FF fan! Love your content. Keep being awesome :)

[@kabutofan7]

Why does the opening phrase. "Hey Buns" always cheer me up? It's like magic.

[@patrick0905]

Great vid, putting Eorzea Collection in No.1 definitely shows that glamour is the ultimate end game of FFXIV

[@christianstachl]

Honestly, for me it starts already at level 1 in all MMOs. The many, many times i sacrificed not only a small chunk of stats just to look good. And if i get a new item it's top priority (maybe after the dungeon etc) to transmog it 😅

[@poshjo5355]

Every time I max a class I haul my ass to Eorzea collection.

[@lynboe5086]

Glad that you like my Chocobo warrior, he is one of my greatest pride :3

[@ryxka1]

I also love Ariyala FFXIV for seeing all the gear available to me, what stats I will have when wearing it, which food to use to get certain stats I am looking for, and allows me to input melds to see what my stats will be after

[@stephennewcomb4277]

would this be good to cycle through so to say looking at weapons to get the perfect match to my glamour?

[@ensamvarg8504]

When mentioning that one, don't forget to add etro.gg, which is kind of similar in how it works, but *in my opinion* a lot cleaner and less clunky than ariyala. I really prefer that one at least for combat gearsets, for crafting/gathering gearsets i use the function included on the teamcraft website

[@mebrithiel]

I've been playing for years and use a lot of these tools, but this video has highlighted so much of the tools I didn't even know about. Zepla, you're an absolute font of knowledge and experience

[@JohnFester]

I'm new to FFXIV and saw you video, thank you for making it. Very helpful! I love your Alpaca sweater! I grew up in Arequipa, Peru and wore them all the time, not as nice as yours, but always the most comfy!

[@MikhailaRaibead]

OMG TY! We are doing E10 atm with our group and the shadows make perfect sense now with Katori Mizuno's power point guide.

[@marydanielle7183]

Awesome idea for a video. Everything I need all in one spot! I am coming up to the end of post-msq quests and going to be getting into crafting and EVERYTHING else in the game xD so this is going to be SO helpful!

[@Hellsing_Montana]

xenoveritas timers truly helped me out, maintenance poped up and I couldn't find anywhere how long it will go on for, but I came into this video just to watch you, didn't expect to learn something that is super useful and just what I needed. Thanks:)

[@FesakSX]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what i need. Your Guides helping me from the start so it was really fun playing FFXIV "with you" instead of painful not knowing things :D Thanks !

[@emilyspector2728]

OMG! Now I know how to use this!! Thank you! I needed to have stuff show up on the map so I know where to go to get it.

[@shep6940]

I’m getting back into FFXIV and so I always looked for like a KZbinr who post content of it like you have those creators who focus on one thing like LoL channels I wanted one for FFXIV and I’m glad I found your channel cause it’s filling that position in for me

[@777CrimsonChaos]

Ariyala is also a really good resource for planning out gear builds for your jobs and seeing what your stats will be with those builds before and after materia/food. You can include every piece of gear available within whatever ilvl range you need, and you can see the stats for those gear pieces, “meld” materia to them to see how it will affect your stats, and even tells you where the gear comes from.

[@aulandork9455]

I wanted to add that garland also has the character data like jaws, eye color, and etc for most of the npc which I really loved it!

[@Lizard14]

I really like ffxiv gardening! It shows you how to plan your garden or crossbreed specific seeds, tutorials and easy to understand diagrams!

[@asianapollo002]

Hold on there’s gardening hold on what There isn’t enough time in my life for this I love gardening a lot lmaoo

This is so helpful! Ive been casually playing FF14 a long time now and know about Gamer Escape and Eorzea Collection yand FFXIV housing but some of those sides will make my achievement grind/ collectionist journey so much easier! Big thx :D

[@Zamoshi]

I knew some of these (2 or 3), but I've been thinking how badly I needed something like wowhead for 14. I feel all we get from this video is much better than that! Thank you so much for the value

[@Xaleth]

Your videos are so informative and entertaining to watch. I'm so glad I found your channel, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. lol I've never played any games like ffxiv before and I only just purchased the game a month ago so I didn't know where to start. I had no idea what "msq" was so I would just do every side quest I saw. When I finally figured out that it meant "main story," I jumped right in and zoomed to get through msq so I could level up faster. Made it all the way to level 50 and other people would always tell me to turn my "tank stance" on. I had no idea what that was, of course so I just assumed it meant to hit as many things as possible so the others didn't get attacked.. I also thought the flower icon next to player's names meant that they had a lot of experience in game. Turns out that it's just meant for returning players who took a month long break or so from the game and came back.

[@rodmcmanus3339]

Cracking video, I'll definitely be looking at some of these.

[@apex403]

One thing Garland tools really helped me with was glamour - I would type the name of an NPC I saw that I liked their gear and it would tell you exactly what they're wearing and where to get it

[@merlana3479]

Thanks for making this. As a new player that has been playing wow I was wondering were to go for information.

[@Purpformance]

Great video! Thank you for your content. I just switched over to FFXIV after 15 years on wow. Im a mythic raider and I push M+ but it just wasnt fun anymore. I feel I can find plenty of ways to push myself in FF all while having tons of new things to do.

[@Miatog]

I have been looking for over a year for some of these sites you named off. Any time I try to google for the ff14 version of Wowhead or Icyviens I never find anything. Just scattered info and low quality sites. Learning about AkhMorning and Garland Tools was amazing. Thank you so much for this video!

Thanks Zepla, great video and also, may I say, great sweater!

[@BHsss13]

Great video, I bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks a lot!

[@shadowviking323]

10/10 great video I recently got hocked into the ff14 quicksand and have been playing the trial as annoying as it is to find certain items that I can't buy on the marketplace. cuz of trial thankfully u came along with this il 100% be useing most of these till ff14 gos on sale

[@Astraylah-Spicy]

OMFG you are a life safer, I looked about to find info and most has been out of date or just confusing then I see this check out you just made things a lot easier for my FFXIV experience. totally adore you and yep Most of these sites so much better than the wow resources I seen over the years. THANK YOU

[@FoxyRaccoon84]

I personally always have a tab open on my phone for the Lodestone's Eorzea Database. If I'm looking for items, like skins for leather, or what dungeon a piece of gear comes from, I can type it into the search bar, and it'll bring up an entry for the item, which in the case for skins will say what drops it and give coordinates to where they can be found, or in the case of gear, what dungeon it can be found or how it's made. You can even search dungeons and find out which chest the item you are looking for will be in. There really is a TON of useful info there, and even if it's missing something in the main description, there are often times comments from users that give further details, as well as pictures of gear and mounts and such so you can get an idea of what to expect.

[@shadowsin05]

Thanks for all the helpful sites. Ill definitely be passing your video to others.

[@joshuabadach543]

I was 3 quest away from HW. Sped home picked up a 6 pack of buds and was ready to settle in for the big night. But there’s maintenance till 3am. I am sad. Great video.

[@Psoewish]

I've been playing this game for several years and I've only ever used one website to date, which was some kind of tracker for sightseeing logs IIRC. When I actively played WoW I felt like so much content actually required some external help to know what you were supposed to even do half the time. But in FFXIV I've never felt the need because it's just such a lovely streamlined experience with excellent tooltips and tutorial popups for new things you encounter in the world. That said, I'll definitely be checking some of these out. Can't go wrong with having more tools at my disposal :3

[@ChesterZirawin]

Yo, started playing a few days ago after seeing so many people praising the game. Liking the game so far but will have to see when I get to harder dungeons at max lvl. Thanks for all the useful info so far !

Hey zepla , just wanted to say that I started ff14 after watching your vids. I've always been a big fan of final fantasy. I played ff7, ff8, ff9, ffx , ffx-2, 12 and 13 trilogy. I didnt really like ff15 and I wasn't too interested in mmorpg but ff14 is amazing . I love how they have the job system implemented like on older final fantasy games . My favorite class is white mage. I still got some learning to do and getting use to the controls but I like how it gets everyone involved .

[@KenDawgAirsoft]

I recently started playing FFXIV and lemme jus say your content is AMAZING!

I cannot thank you enough. I'm new to this game and I had not heard about any of these sites, every time I search on google I find either a reddit thread or the eorzea database. This is amazing, thank you.

[@Rindoshi]

Hey Zepla, loved the video! I gotta ask tho, is there any resource that has dungeon guides, or tips? not that I can't find tips on google, just wondering if there's any place where i could find more than just mob lists and loot drops (like FFXIV gamerescape has).

[@Borednow1966]

Excellent guide, thank you :)

[@biffwellington6144]

I'm just sort of dipping my toes into this game again after a few years away from it, and beginner's guides like this help to remind me of all the fun stuff I used to do. Thanks! It's very helpful! By the way, I noticed you struggling a bit with the word oubliette. It's pronounced oob-lee-ETT. It's French for "little place of forgetting." You know that medieval trope where you're talking to the king, and he grows displeased with you and pulls a lever on his throne to open a trap door under your feet, and you end up falling down a chute into a cage full of bones where you're sure to end up starving to death (if you didn't already die from the fall) and becoming part of that pile of bones? You may have also seen something similar in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, where Jabba the Hutt would drop people down a trap door into the rancor pit when he was bored or displeased with them. That's what an oubliette is.

[@mo17]

I really like this video. Thanks for making this Zepla. I never knew about these websites

[@StylezStephon]

Thank you for making videos of FFXIV. This is so helpful for me. Just started playing.

[@JojoSherrill]

Thank you so much for this!!! Coming from WoW and needed a wowhead like site lol

[@tehSunBro]

Things i use that are missing here are: Ariyala, that was the biggest "why isn't that here" for me. It lets you plan out gear sets and melds, but more likely when you search for any meld guide, bis list or whatever you'll get an Ariyala link. FFXIV Cactpot Solver, a smart little script that helps you with getting the most MGP out of the daily cactpot. and finally the FFXIV subreddit. This one is definitely a mixed bag. You find all sorts of useful information about the game in between a million self indulgiance, fanart posts. Also i prefer using FFXIV Hunt over the site you're suggesting. XIV hunt has all the spawn location for the weekly B ranks, plus information about every other hunt in the game.

[@robnorob]

how the fell is the first time i'm hearing about Ariyala? i've been doing all of that on paper in a notebook 😭
