If you get to the Firmament for the first time, just *talk to Augebert, and talk to anyone with the secondary-quest exclamation mark.* Nothing will happen otherwise, and you'll be stuck there. Like me.
THANK YOU for explaining why there's 4 tabs of restoration! I was trying to work out if it meant you advance from 4 to 1 because it isn't laid out very clearly. So helpful :)
I'm glad this could help you out! I do agree that it's not laid out very well at all the whole initial starting experience for it is very confusing to say the least
This video is exactly what I was looking for, it's perfect for people who don't like going into things blind without being overwhelming with too much information, cheers!
AaAAa thank! you! Im really happy this style is enjoyable! I would worry if it would perhaps make for a boring watch, but it seems that is not the case! X3
Aw dude this is exactly what i was needing after i got back playing this game! Definitely helps get you back up to speed on how these all work, doing god's work my man nice!, I was stuck up worrying how to re-learn all this diadem stuff again and this exactly what i needed.
I appreciate that! Yeah the Diadem can be a lot to take in at once if you're new or just getting back to the game. Happy that it was able to help catch you up on all the changes! Once you get into it, it's a lovely new system!
Great video! I’m new still to FF and just completed HW recently. I spent hours yesterday trying to figure out how to navigate this place. Wish I saw your video beforehand, would have saved me so much time. But so glad I found it now! Keep up the great content!
@@Stryker500 Oh gosh, yeah at first it can be a bit of a maze to try to find everything! Im happy the video was still able to help! Thank you for the kind words! Gona keep doin' mah best!
Just wanna say thanks for this. I've been playing a few months now, and unlocked the Firmament about a month ago. It threw so much information at me (as a still relatively new player), I just did all the quests there then left. This video is great and I know what I'll be doing tonight!
Heyo! Firstly welcome to Eorzea! I totally get that, it is quite a bit of an info dump when you're first starting out, but im thankful this was able to help you out! Thank you for your support as well! If you have any questions about the Firmament we'll be here! ^.^
Incredibly helpful guide. Every other guide I found before jumped right into the advanced stuff, without explaining how the fundamentals of the place work. None of the other guides I watched even mentioned that you need gathering jobs to do anything there, which caused me so much confusion. Thank you!
thank you so much for the video. the game just infodumped so much at once and i had no idea how to even START. this is slow paced and that's good. i can keep up. thank you so much. subbed.
Thank you so so much. I've watched a good bit of videos on this subject and yours is by far the most informative. Keep up the amazing work And thank you again.
I just spent a couple hours and 3/4ths of my Gil a few days ago power leveling CUL to ~50, I really wish I found this sooner, I wouldn't have wasted my hard-earned Gil for all those ingredients for Leves. Now I just need to actually start and finish Heavensward to get this place....
Oh shoot! :< I know that pain though, I've definitely broke the bank on crafting. I hope that when you do get to the firmament you'll be able to enjoy it to it's fullejst!
@@AlienneAshford Yeah, I still have about 2 weeks of Road to 70 left, so I'm trying to make the most of it by leveling a few crafters and gatherers. It still hurts to see so much money down the drain, but hopefully I'll be able to make it back by Desynthing those swimwear fish and crafting aquariums.
@@StartouchArts Oh yeah! Those swimsuits still sell for a nice bit of money since they're still desynth only! That road to 70 buff is amazing, I didnt realize it worked on crafters and gatherers until it was too late a couple years back. XD
My question is pretty much on the things you did not touch in the video, like you mentioned collectable crafting. What did you miss that is worth noting?
Heya! I'm glad you mentioned this! Im gona work on getting a proper video about these and go more in depth out this week! I'd meant to do one months ago, but it completely slipped my mind T^T With collectables, unlike doing a normal craft these give you a progress bar with a rating number attached to it. In order to have the item give you the most tokens per turn in (or tokens in general) you want to get that rating bar as high as possible, it leads to you having to use your skills carefully so that you can not only finish the craft itself, but get the rating you need for the quality of the item to give you the numbers you're looking for. On paper it's a bit wonky, but the system is actually really cool! I'll do my best to highlight everything about it in the video this week! X3
thank you for doing an easy to follow guide, now I have a fun alternative way of leveling all my crafters and gatherers besides the daily provision thing :D
Crafting really is true endgame huh!?! These mounts and items and pets from firmament, like 95% of the glamours you can possibly get, at least that's what I think, Furniture for houses, MONEY, SUPER quick ways to super good gear for fighting jobs, AND most importantly, a super fun and rewarding experience, *_especially_* if you're like me and level them all at once so you don't even have to spend a dime! Well for me I still have to buy fish tho cause I'm not gonna fish yet...
Right! there is so so much you can get out of crafting, I used to not enjoy it at all, but once I got into it all I honestly could not turn back. XD One of the first things im going to do after i finish msq is dive back into my gatherers and crafters.
Hi! This video was really helpful for a newer gatherer like me :) For reference though, it would be really helpful if you divided the video into chapters(Intro, Scrips etc). Thank you dude
Oh! If you go to the foundation main Aetheryte it'll be a little quest notice pinned to a nearby wall! Itll look like a little white sign if I'm remembering correctly.
@@AlienneAshford Thank you so much! I'm looking at your video as now I'm collecting the items...but still unsure how to CREATE what they are looking for. I turn in items from the Diadem, get those lovely scripts (just started btw) and not sure if I have to buy the ACTUAL mats now or what. And awesome video!! You really explain everything clearly. Now if my brain would work......
Hi. I am a returning player. My alc is lvl 50, and I have unlocked the firmament. However, when I open my crafting log, I cannot see any ishgardian restoration entry there?
Hey there! Welcome back to the game! X3 You may need to speak with the NPC named Augebert who is near the big billboard-looking sign, followed by any NPC that has a quest marker pop up over their head after doing that! I totally forgot to mention it in my video back then, but it's the final step needed to unlock the firmament content within your logs and things like that! If this does not solve it please let me know and I'll see what I can find!
I went there, they told me I needed a gatherer or crafter over level 20. So I switched to a level 50 gatherer and they told me I wasn't high enough. I guess my initial aversion to the non combat vocations were well placed.
@@AlienneAshford It was after gaining access when they told me to go talk to the guy. It let me speak to them but none of them allow any function with a gatherer and the gathering log does not display restoration information. It seems like its initial statement of "crafter or gatherer of at least level 20" is outdated. Talking to them as a combat class tells me that I need to be a crafter or gatherer but switching to a gatherer tells me I'm not experienced enough and they have no work for me.
@Insanitypepper Ahhhh okay hrm. The guy they had you speak too, was that Augebert who is standing next to the big billboard in the firmament area? I was informed a while back the quest does not make it very clear that he is who you need to speak to next and if you don't nothing progresses. It was something I totally forgot about in the video so I had to pin up a comment about it. Lemme know if this was the issue or not! I'll keep seeing what I can come up with in the mean time!
@@AlienneAshford hey, thx for the incredibly swift reply. I just got into stormblood. So looking forward to this set. Also thank you for your A grade content : )
@@ValkeersYT Welcome to stormblood! I hope you enjoy the journey through! And yeah no problem! Its definitely one for my favorite gathering sets. X3 Thank you for your kinds words too! ^.^
Yeah I really do wish there was a way to get to the firmament earlier; it's so deep in the heavenwards story that it can be inconvenient if you've already been working on the DOH/DOL jobs :
This was a good video, and it did cover all the necessary information. While the video was moderately concise in content, it was exremely slow in presentation. So slow that I was left wishing that youtube had a greater than 2x playback speed option. Just my critical opinion
@@AlienneAshford Sorry, I really didn't mean to offend, I did get a little frustrated though. I definitely still appreciated the video, but in my opinion the delivery could be sped up and it would make for a better video
With a free trial you can actually get all of your crafters and gatherers maxed out! I want to say once you complete the free trial story you will be eligible to open the firmament.
Hrm, with Litany of peace done it should be : Foundation (X:9.7 Y:11.5) in Ishgard Starting NPC: Recruitment Notice; it;ll be a paper tacked to the wall near the main Aetheryte. The quest name Towards The Firmament. You may need to be on a level 60 job at the time to see the quest pop up; trying to think of other reasons why it might not be showing up for you.
While I would not call it annoying, we do have a pinned message in the comments to mention that quest! I had totally forgot about it when I did the initial video. XD
If the crafted items meet the required collectible level you should be able to right click on him and shift through the different crafting menus that he has and the items you have should appear in text with a white outline. Though if they do not meet the required collectible rating I'm not sure if he will give you the option.
If you get to the Firmament for the first time, just *talk to Augebert, and talk to anyone with the secondary-quest exclamation mark.* Nothing will happen otherwise, and you'll be stuck there. Like me.
Gona pin this so others can see it!
@@AlienneAshford Nice, thanks! I cursed a lot on this snag...
Thanks so much for this comment. Couldn't figure out why it was saying the operation was suspended. This unlocked it for me!
@@jbest84 Aye! Yeah it had been so long that I totally forgot that was a thing haha! I'm glad they mentioned it!
@@mothman84 Oh gosh, I bet! Yeah I completely forgot that was a thing that had to be done.
easy one of the best explained videos i ever seen... slow paced and clear... the way it should be i can see why this has no thumbs down!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Going to do my best to keep these chill and concise. X3
Those thumbs down on non-controversial topics/creators are almost always bots. It's a strategy to make their accounts look authentic.

Absolutely the best explanation of the firmament i've seen. I feel like i actually understand it now. Thanks man
Thank you so much! Im happy that it was helpful for yah! X3
It's one of the best crafter/gather videos I have seen! Keep this up, please!
AAAAAAAAA thank you so much ;o;
Soothing voice and logically well put together guide. Subscribing just based on this video quality!

Question: I have Grade 4 Skybuilders' Alloys. Potkin won't take them. Why?
Have the items already been inspected? Or are these items fresh out of the Diadem?
Such a clear and precise video, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much you legend !
Thank you kindly for that! X3 Im stoked it was able to help yah out! Thank you as well for you support!
Just commenting to help the algorithm. Very well made and well narrated guide.
Hey I appreciate that a ton!!! Thank you for the kind words! X3
Very well explained man! Hope you make more videos! Subscribed
Thank you for that sub and im so stoked to hear it was helpful for yah! Gona keep on doin' my best! ^_^
Just got here in my play through. Thank you for the explanation
Welcome to the firmament! Im thankful this was useful for yah!

Hiya! Happy it was useful for you! ^.^ Aye in the future we're gona be working with the Chapters and see how they do!
Okay! Had to figure out how to get the chapters to work, but I think they are loaded now. XD
Do all fish drop the same material or are separated?
From what I can tell they have chances to drop random materials to a degree, but im not certain if certain ones have special drops
awesome video! I'm still trying to find the damn place lolol. Lvl 67 RDM without a clue....
Oh! If you go to the foundation main Aetheryte it'll be a little quest notice pinned to a nearby wall! Itll look like a little white sign if I'm remembering correctly.

Yay! I'm happy it was able to help! I love the Pegasus mount x3
Did the diedem close because for when I speak to the guy I cant que for it nor get the quest
Hey there! The Diadem is still open!
When you began to unlock the Diadmen, Have you spoken to Augbert near the big sign in the firmament yet?
@@AlienneAshford yeah I did but maybe I got softlocked? Ill have to take another look at it when I get home from work
Gotcha okay! I'll see what I can find about it as well!

I'm hoping to have one for that out pretty soon acutally! X3
What glamour are the leggings and feet you got there?
Oh this is the final gathering set that came out of Stormblood! I believe they are called the Yamashi pants and sandals!
@@AlienneAshford oh wow I want this
I went there, they told me I needed a gatherer or crafter over level 20. So I switched to a level 50 gatherer and they told me I wasn't high enough. I guess my initial aversion to the non combat vocations were well placed.
Heyo! Was this after unlocking the firmament or was this while trying to unlock it? Seeing if I can troubleshoot.

Where the fuck do I turn in the fish
Ive been playing this game for 18 months and i never knew this existed wholly crap. What other secrets does this game hold that im missing out on.
Hehe, yeah they've got all sorts of things hidden about! I need to see if i can pin point all of the ones that might get overlooked for folks.
lucky bastard./....this was pure hell
im free trial .. so i guess theres not much i can do though
With a free trial you can actually get all of your crafters and gatherers maxed out! I want to say once you complete the free trial story you will be eligible to open the firmament.
Done Litany Of Peace and SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GET TO THE FIRMAMENT !
Hrm, with Litany of peace done it should be : Foundation (X:9.7 Y:11.5) in Ishgard
Starting NPC: Recruitment Notice; it;ll be a paper tacked to the wall near the main Aetheryte.
The quest name Towards The Firmament. You may need to be on a level 60 job at the time to see the quest pop up; trying to think of other reasons why it might not be showing up for you.
You skip over the annoying quest that stands between reading the announcement and getting to the firmament
While I would not call it annoying, we do have a pinned message in the comments to mention that quest!
I had totally forgot about it when I did the initial video. XD
what do i do with the alloy after i crafted them? how do i turn them in at potkin?
