manic oasis
#

what is dreadwyrm aether vs regular aether for summoner

twilit arch
#

aether lets you use spells like fester and painflare, dreadwyrm aether is required to summon demi bahamut

manic oasis
#

but how do i know i have enough dreadwyrm aether, wheres the meter?

fresh lodge
#

Its the colour of the Bahamut on your job guage

#

If its a pale blue it means you only have 1, full bright blue is you have both

manic oasis
#

ohh okay, how do i make it full bright blue?

fresh lodge
#

You get a stack of Dreadwyrm whenever you leave Dreadwyrm Trance

#

You get 2 stacks fron 72 onward

twilit arch
#

Before 72, you need to exit dreadwyrm trance twice

#

after 72, you just need to exit once since as meara said you get 2 stacks

manic oasis
#

ohh okay got it ๐Ÿ™‚ and bahamut just auto-attacks like the other summons?

twilit arch
#

not quite

fresh lodge
#

No, it casts Wyrmwave whenever you cast a spell

twilit arch
#

whenever you cast a spell, he will use wyrmwave

#

and when you use enkindle bahamut he will use akh morn

manic oasis
#

so any spell even like ruin 3 right?

twilit arch
#

mhm

fresh lodge
#

Anything with the spell tag

#

Abilities won't cast Wyrmwave

twilit arch
#

So the rough rotation when demi-bahamut is out is: ruin 2 + enkindle > ruin 2+ fester > ruin 3 until you can endkindle/fester again

manic oasis
#

thanks guys ๐Ÿ˜„ appreciate it alot!

Is it unlikely to find people willing to help you with crafting HQ recipes above lvl 70?

fresh lodge
#

There are plenty of people who will craft you 70+ recipes

#

Whether or not they'll do it for free is another matter

#

Are you supplying the materials?

proper lake

Yes, I am

proud monolith

How come i'm not seeing mining/gathering nodes for skybuilder's spring water?

twilit arch

you've unlocked the restoration, right?

proud monolith

twilit arch

twilit arch
#

mortal root

excellent

leaden ginkgo
#

Wtf $24 for a horse

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

Has it been on sale before?

obsidian patio
#

Sales are uncommon

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

I think slepnir has gone on sale a few times, but thatโ€™s more because it was one of the first items added in the mogstation

leaden ginkgo
#

What about clouds bike from ff7?

twilit arch
#

30$

leaden ginkgo
#

LMFAOOOOOOO sad

raven sage
#

The bike has gone on sale before though so there's some hope

leaden ginkgo
#

I really want sleipnir

bitter frost
#

Wooden Deck

hushed girder
#

for the Aetheric Density collection does it matter if I have the Anima weapon equipped or in the inventory? to collect for the Glyphs?

fresh lodge
#

Have to have it equipped

obsidian patio
#

you'll only get Light from level 50-60 content, and you must have it equipped before defeating the final boss of an instance

#

So for a dungeon you can use a different weapon for everything up to before the final boss, and then switch to it and finish the dungeon

hushed girder
#

okiedokie

obsidian patio
#

You'll also still get Light if the duty is undersized, so if you want to solo grind it you can spam level 50 dungeons

hushed girder
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

You know on average how long it takes?

#

Its like collection 2000 right?

obsidian patio
#

I know with the fastest method (Eyes of the Creator Savage with a party of level 80's) it takes an hour or two depending on if it's a bonus window

#

So probably a couple hours for solo grinding dungeons

hushed girder
#

How do I choose to do them solo?

obsidian patio
#

Duty Finder > Cog at the top of the menu > Undersized Party

hushed girder
#

By doing it that way can I still solo as a Sup? @obsidian patio since Im doing the Scholar Anima weap

obsidian patio
#

You can definitely solo them as a healer, though you may need to be like level 70 or something for it to be done in a decent amount of time

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys, i just bought the game and gonna start playing it in 15 minutes, looking for friends ๐Ÿ™‚

can anyone spare 1 yew log here? trying to buy on market but it's only available in bulk ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Buy all keep 1. Sell back.
World hop.

next girder
#

i don't have 10kgil to buy all though so there's that. i guess i'll pause on that quest for now

indigo orbit
#

yew is pretty low IIRC

#

like level wise

#

You could probably level BTN high enough to farm it in a relatively short amount of time

#

Hi, just bought Shadowbringers expansion under a Guest Account with paypal.. got the paypal receipt, but no order confirmation email nor code. Does it take some time or did I do something wrong?

#

It was from the Square Enix Store.

leaden ginkgo
#

Check your card and if your bank has an online website or app, it should be displayed there. Sometimes PayPal is weird about receipts.

#

Also check your Square Enix account.

#

The keys are there!

#

:)

hybrid phoenix
#

I did get a paypal receipt that I made the purchase, but the thing is that I bought it as a Guest Account, hoping to have the code sent to an email.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, and it does take a bit of time. But usually it should be in a matter of minutes.

I see. I've never dealt with guest account so I can't be of any help with that, sorry!

hybrid phoenix
#

No worries. I guess I will wait. I am new and still not set up with an account, but wanted to take advantage of the 50% Shadowbringers discount that ends in a few minutes lol.

leaden ginkgo

frail jasper
#

Hey anyone know if I can do the Born Again Anima quest as my tank class while having the Ninja Anima weapon in my inventory? Will it still trigger?

leaden ginkgo

Do we have discords solely for hunt trains

@frail jasper those need to be done as ninja

So I'm finishing shadowbringers now, queued up to do || the hades 8man boss fight|| any complex mechanics I need to be aware of? (Anything other than stacking, AoE dodging etc)

shell dagger
#

Is there no way to exchange Allagan Poetics tomestones for level 60 gathering Ironworks?

leaden ginkgo
#

@shell dagger No

shell dagger
#

@leaden ginkgo it's a lot like trial and error imho. (And yes you should join a FC, you can get bonuses from the FC attributes they put up! Free exp yo.)

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ nooo

leaden ginkgo
#

@novel parcel Nothing major there a lot of things to dodge tho

shell dagger
#

Then how do people get them, by crafting?

leaden ginkgo
#

They get them with gathering scrips

shell dagger
#

What are gathering scrips

leaden ginkgo
#

Its like tomestomes for gatherers

novel parcel
#

ah kk ty storm

twilit arch
#

ironworks gathering/crafting is crafted

#

honestly, its not worth the investment at this point unless its super cheap on your marketboard

#

probably easier to just push to 61 for that set

shell dagger

Ah okay... Thank you!

Hello, I've a few questions about prioritization for NIN. After the initial opener, I've no clue what I should be doing as far as jutsu and spending ninki, and when to burst once all cooldowns align.

warped nest
#

You line most of your stuff with your Trick Attack

#

Your dot and your Kassatsu are on 60s cooldown, same as your trick attack

#

!action Tenchijin

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Ten Chi Jin** : lvl 70 NIN (120.0 second cooldown)

Temporarily converts each of the three mudra into a ninjutsu action. Executing one of these actions will convert the remaining mudra into different ninjutsu actions until all three have been executed or the Ten Chi Jin effect expires.
Duration: 6s
Only ninjutsu available while active. The same ninjutsu cannot be executed twice.
Cannot be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu. Effect ends upon moving.

warped nest
#

Regarding Ninjutsu,
Single Target if you have Kassatsu, you do Hyoton. If you don't have Kassatsu, use Raiton. Just don't let Ninjutsu max at 2 charges.

AOE
enemies will die soon, Katon. Enemies won't die soon, Doton. Regardless of Kassatsu

vernal surge

So duties have difficulty modes now, is there any downsides to just taking the easy way out?

fresh lodge
#

Nope

vernal surge
#

Thx

vocal spoke
#

To get the fullgame + ShB you need to buy the starter edition & the expansion right ?

#

Oh there is the complete edition too I didn't notice

hoary storm
#

You can either buy complete edition or starter edition + shadowbringers, which will also give you Heavensward and Stormblood

vocal spoke
#

Alright thanks wanted to be sure

I'm assuming no, but is there anyway of getting a 'personal' summoning bell for retainers (So I can call one from anywhere)?

you assume correctly

agile current
#

Hello people, I am having a bit of difficulty here with the recruit a friend feature. How exactly do I use the code a friend gives to me?

marble drift
#

I need to applied in your account settings over on the mogstation I belive

#

there should be a thing over there

leaden ginkgo
#

go to mog station,your account

#

something there i think

agile current
#

my account is currently on trial version

#

I've been searching around and it seems that is why i cant use the code? I bought the game and expansion yesterday, but havnt used the codes yet, so im a bit reluctant

novel parcel
#

Retainers share name pools? Or was my name choice censored? I went with ichi

little swift
#

You need to be on the full version of the game but havent made your first sub yet

agile current
#

but once i buy the game, wont i get 30 days right away to play?

#

or does those first 30 days not count?

little swift
#

You have to apply the codes on log station

#

To register the licenses to your account

#

Theb you get the 30 days

#

Then before your 30 days of included time are up you can enter a referral code from your friend

#

Youre not obligated to do that right now, make the most of what you want out of the trial first

marble drift
#

yeah the 30 days of free time from buying the game is NOT a subscription

#

its just some free time to get you started.

hoary storm
#

As a side note you also get 15 free days when you get to lv 30 on a preferred server

#

One time only

agile current
#

ah, I've managed! Thankyou very much everyone, for the help and info!

forest inlet
#

novel parcel
#

If I want to level up Blacksmithing and Leatherworker do I need to do any other jobs too? (Like miner for materials or something)

slate arrow
#

miner is recommended

#

armorer and goldsmithing go well with blacksmithing

marble drift
#

or!

#

LOADS-A-MONEH!

novel parcel
#

so.. since I'm poor I guess I'll be leveling a lot of the jobs then

marble drift
#

every time I've leveled a crafter to 80 from scratch its typically costed me around 2million gil

#

BUT!

#

I buy alot shit I really shouldnt

#

so...less if you're not a dumfuq like me

little swift
#

Mb saves time

#

But costs morr

leaden ginkgo
#

I recommend leveling them at the same pace so that the gear doesn't fill your inventory

marble drift
#

yeah I leveled cul in literally a day and a half

#

but not like 24 hours like. I spent 5-6 hours one night

#

got it to like 60-70

#

and knocked out the last bit in another hour or two

novel parcel
#

Ok so in summary, to craft myself armour and weapons I need to level up Blacksmith, Leatherworker and Miner together and keep em at similar levels

#

ok got it

marble drift
#

uhh not all

fresh lodge
#

Well

slate arrow
#

armor belongs to

#

well

#

armorer

novel parcel
#

i'm samurai

marble drift
#

but again. not all

hoary storm
#

What I did with mine, i got MIN/BTN to 70, then all crafters to 20, and then i gathered all the Skybuilders mats I need to lvl up to 60, took me around 2-3 to get all crafters from 1-60

fresh lodge
#

To craft armour for yourself, you'll need to level all crafters except for Cul

hoary storm
#

Thats with road buff tho

marble drift
#

you may be able to skip alchemist

fresh lodge
#

Nope

marble drift
#

oh?

fresh lodge
#

A few of the armour need materials from Alc

slate arrow
#

alchemist makes stuff which are pre-crafts for other stuff

marble drift
#

right but hes not looking to craft all amours.

slate arrow
#

like strength goo

marble drift
#

oh. that makes more sense

fresh lodge
#

It doesn't matter what class the armour is for

#

Eventually all jobs use armour from all of the crafters

slate arrow
#

armourer makes most belts, leatherworker/weaver tends to make shoes or pants or both, body tends to be armorer or weaver

#

accessories can swap between GSM and CRP depending on the expac, though it's more consistent later on

fresh lodge
#

LTW makes a lot of SAMs armour

#

Or WVR

slate arrow
#

basically, please level all of them.

fresh lodge
#

Tl;Dr just level then all

slate arrow
#

or else it's a long road

marble drift
#

but armourers do the heavier armour

slate arrow
#

not always

marble drift
#

they can do.

#

its really quite a ridiculous path tbh

slate arrow
#

it is which is why every crafting leveling guide is basically

#

"please level them all"

wintry chasm
#

^

#

It's an intricate system

#

It's a case by case basis for a lot of gear and what makes what

novel parcel
#

So the ones I can miss out are culinarian, fisher and maybe botanist?

fresh lodge
#

Nope

#

You definitely need Botanist

novel parcel
#

alrighty, I better get to it then

#

I'll start with my miner xD

marble drift
#

yeah botanist isnt herbs.

#

its Wood.

#

wood is used for weapons and armour too.

jade quartz
#

And fibres for weaving e.g. flax

#

Which recipes require a lot of

marble drift
#

and then also sometimes maybe herbs for cooking as well but thats offtopic so we'll skip that

novel parcel
#

Also I was sort of a hoarder throughout my game, is there any use for old weapons/armour/accessories? Like getting xp for deconstructing them or something?

#

Or am I fine with discarding my entire inventory

marble drift
#

well yes and no? some things can be desynthed into materials and crystals

#

and it gives xp!...but the xp is only for your desynth skill

#

hence the yes and no answer

novel parcel
#

I don't see a desynth job tho

#

and the option ain't there

twilit arch
#

desynth is tied to crafting

novel parcel
#

when right clicking

marble drift
#

some things cannot be desynthed.

twilit arch
#

You have to have a lv30 crafter to do the side quest to unlock desynthesis

europe/na?

na

obsidian wren
#

if you're into roleplay, the crystal datacentre would be the best fit

otherwise it doesn't really matter

fresh lodge

Pick either Primal or Crystal for a preferred world then

obsidian wren

aether has the largest raiding population

crystal has the most preferred worlds

are you playing with any friends

anyone ever have issues with playing the game? mine is stuck with the launcher saying update error 340 something.

Maybe you can share a screenshot of the error? @leaden ginkgo

radiant moat
#

Started playing a week ago from recommendation from a online buddy , out of the NA data centers have a high pop ? I picked Goblin randomly on Crystal but seem to need to wait 20-30mins for Queues .

fresh lodge
#

Dungeons pull from the datacenter as a whole, and if you're playing dps that could be why

#

But Crystal has a decent sized population, its just still somewhat early in the day so queues will be slow for a while

radiant moat
#

ah , Would ranking Healer up a bit be good for MSQ dungeon clearing ?

vernal surge
#

Is the Nier raid the best way to gear up casually right now?

#

Seems like Eden gear is 10 IL less

hot eagle
#

nier raid is only 1 gear per week so eden is probably faster

#

since eden isnt limited anymore

vernal surge
#

Oh right forgot about caps

fresh lodge
#

You can also get crafted gear and upgrade it to 460

vernal surge
#

So I got 1 hat from there and that's it for the week

#

The apocryphal gear is savage right?

verbal hound
#

How do I pause the motion when using gpose?

wintry chasm
#

savage and normal raid version have the weekly gear restrictions unlocked

#

Aka you can get as much gear as you want by rerunning it @vernal surge

simple seal
#

guys hey ๐Ÿ˜„

wintry chasm
#

On PC I don't know the controls but on PS4 it'd be R2 Losiboy

simple seal
#

one question

#

how can i find a guild ?:D

verbal hound
#

I'm on pc

vernal surge
#

But still limited to 1 piece per run right

fresh lodge
#

1 and 2 on the keyboard

wintry chasm
#

No Triablos

#

You can roll on all the gear per run

#

multiple runs

#

as many runs as you want

vernal surge
#

Ok thanks

wintry chasm
#

(sorry I didn't mean to cap that no)

vernal surge
#

Lol

#

Wasn't there something about exclusive gear? Or can I just run Eden 1 forever for everything

wintry chasm
#

Eden 1 won't have ALL the gear but you can run Eden 1 forever for all the gear it gives

#

Which for savage is just accessories

#

When normal raid and savage raids come out there are weekly gear/token restrictions but after a while they get unlocked and you can get as much gear as you want by running it as much as you want

#

Which is what has happened for the raid right now in Shadowbringers

#

Once the next tier comes out next patch you'll be dealing with weekly gear lockouts again

vernal surge
#

Is there a way to check which round gives what parts?

#

I need every main piece except hat

hot eagle
#

for normal mode

wintry chasm
#

E1S: 3x Accessories or Belt coffer

E2S: 2x Head/Gloves/Boots coffer, 1x Accessory upgrade item, 1x Tomestone

E3S: 1x Head/Gloves/Boots coffer, 1x Pants coffer, 1x Left-side upgrade item, 1x Weapon upgrade item

E4S: 1x non-coffer Weapon, 1x Weapon coffer, 1x Body coffer, 1x Mount

#

For savage loot

Thx

#

What is acc

wintry chasm
#

accessories

#

like ring/necklace/earrings

vernal surge
#

O duh

wintry chasm
#

etc

vernal surge
#

And the number is pieces obtained

#

So for the body I need 4 pieces so that's 4 rounds of Eden 1 or 2 runs of Eden 3

wintry chasm
#

Assuming you roll and get them all

#

You have to roll with the rest of the party to try to get the tokens

#

Potentially you could do Eden 3 4 times and not get the token at all because others rolled higher than you though that is unlikely

vernal surge

With my luck I guess I got a long while

rich flume
#

Just got to level 50 and I unlocked Samurai class, tbh, I have no idea what you need to do with the skills

it's pretty confusing

read your tooltip and learn what they do, u could also run low lvl stuff to get used to it or potd from floor 1 so u start at lvl1 and unlock them slowly

#

oh

#

dont have that yet i think

#

everybody seems to be busy in tonberry Kmsquirtle i'll try other worlds i guess

fresh lodge
#

Wait

#

Are you on Tonberry?

#

Its like 3am, no wonder you can't find anyone

next girder
#

sorry was in a fate. yes i am

fresh lodge
#

Yeah...

#

Nobody is running low level dungeons this late at night

next girder
#

too bad

hot eagle
#

so your best bet is probably to ask with a shout in a city or in novice network, or since u are only at sastasha in your msq u could make another char on a world which has a better timezone for u

next girder
#

my friends told me to play on tonberry bec that's where they are. but they arent around when im online FoodieMica

#

oh yey lvl 25

#

quick question, how to i sell on marketboards and do people buy stuff on it?

#

like is there an economy for selling on those boards or not really

hot eagle
#

u need a retainer to sell stuff on the marketboard

#

and for what sells hard to say

#

item a could be worth a lot and sell often on your datacenter but on another datacenter its like worthless

remote girder
#

Chibi, you keep mentioning the Novice Network - how does one see that? I'm a pretty new player and no idea what I'm doing

fresh lodge
#

You have to be invited to it by a Mentor

hot eagle
#

best is to shout in a city for an invite

fresh lodge
#

Just /sh in a city for an invite

remote girder
#

Cool, TY.

I've been playing ffxiv for a little over a month and I love it. Hit 80 on my only class, WHM, a little while back and I enjoy it. The thing is, I'm still learning how to do the endgame content and now that I no longer have my sprout I'm a bit anxious. For instance, I did copied factory last week and it was so fun but I died so much so I was nervous I was pissing everyone off even though I had spent the prior 30 minutes watching and rewatching a visual guide.

My question is this: Is there a way to queue into duty finder as "learning"? I read something about party finder online with that feature but haven't been able to find ANYTHING about it in game.

hot eagle
#

u could tell your party u are new to it or its your first time doin it most people are more forgiving then

#

learning partys are mostly done for extreme and savage content when u do it over partyfinder so the people that join know its practice

#

and dont leave after 1 wipe

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you still get the 2b outfit? if so how?

#

Since i haven't got past the first MS yet

#

Thank you! I stuck around when I did it despite dying about 10-15 times. I believe I was the only one to have died more than 3 times...lol...I was only so nervous because I was one of the healers though

hot eagle
#

@leaden ginkgo the 2b outfit u can get from the nier alliance raid copied factory after the last boss in it, it drops 3 coffer of it and u need to roll for it

#

its lvl80 content and u need to have completed shadobringers to unlock it

#

also theres one time password, do i nid to download the app to get the password? i try to find from app store but didn't found any??? >.<

Retainer Guide
Info

What is a retainer?

A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world., Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer

First you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the retainer vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?

Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you, and can be unlocked by completing the quest An Ill-conceived Venture (Ulโ€™Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

i've tried everything. even used a vpn. nothing helps.

silly question, is your hard drive full?

mild cedar
#

Question as a player who just recently reached kinda end game content in ffxiv just recently.

Do people run the High end duties/raids like the savage eden's gates almost exclusively with premade groups? or are people willing to run them with strangers via the duty finder?

south marlin

almost always premade on NA and EU

Guys what is the best gc to join?

@south marlin far from it. i really did manage to patch it with a vpn but then i wasn't able to play the game.

south marlin
#

@tame bane they're all near the main aetheryte so just pick one you like (it's more convenient to pick the same gc as your fc for buying actions and a cheaper teleport from fc house)

obsidian patio
#

@sinful nacelle only Fixed parties can go past floor 30

sinful nacelle
#

I see thanks

obsidian patio
#

Floors 31-100 are considered challenge floors

sinful nacelle
#

@mild cedar You can pug savage content. This is what I've done, as I don't have time for premade groups (statics).

little swift
#

you'll have more luck queuing if you do it through party finder i think

south marlin
#

they're asking if people queue up through the DF like roulettes vaden, NA and EU don't

#

JP do

sinful nacelle
#

ah, apologies, misread

wintry chasm
#

JP does kinda

#

To my knowledge they do practice in duty finder and the easier fights in duty finder

If I fantasia my character to a different gender, will my Scion Adventurer Bottoms change or can I write a ticket to request a new one or am I just left without a scion bottom I can wear?

wintry chasm

It should just change model as you wear it on different genders @gritty oracle

gritty oracle
#

Ah, thanks!

wintry chasm

Also push comes to shove because I honestly don't remember how that set works you can buy it back from the calamity salvager

So if it is genderlocked sets you can just buy the other set easy peasy

it's a single set so yeah it would just change accordingly

For the nier glamor outfit, are you rolling against the entire raid, or just your party?

entire raid

#

The only items you roll for against solely your party are the actual gear drops

Yeah that one is the entire raid but it's also not subject to the weekly lockout

So if you really wanted you could keep running the raid until you roll it

Is it possible for a queue to be glitched? I've been in Sohr Khai's queue alone for 20 minutes, which seems kind of long for it being an msq dungeon

Yea dps, first time it's happened to be this long though

lyric schooner

yeah im a dps and all of my msq queues have been super long

#

sucks but at least i can run around while im waiting

languid creek
#

I think the longest I've waited before this for msq is 15 minutes, but there was at least other people in the queue with me. For this one, absolutely no one has entered

lyric schooner
#

its possible that no one is currently running the dungeon rn

#

esp if you're not at peak hours

south marlin
#

@tawdry venture you could look at povs on youtube but without playing it you might not understand everything
most involved is probably AST with the cards - most interesting is kinda subjective - whm has its own minigame where you play like blm, trying to move as little as possible, slidecasting from mechanic to mechanic - sch has pet control (kinda - really, you just stick it in the middle of the arena at the start of a fight most of the time)
idk - they can all be interesting in their own way

obsidian patio
#

@wooden glen if you mean just Gladiator and not Paladin this is your basic TL;DR:
Iron Will is your tank stance. Turn it on for when youโ€™re doing group content like dungeons
main combo is Fast Blade > Riot Blade > Rage of Halone
Total Eclipse is used for groups of enemies
Fight or Flight is used pretty much whenever itโ€™s up
Shield Bash can be used to help reduce damage taken for low level stuff or to interrupt enemies but Low Blow and Interject are generally better used for that
Shield Lob is used for grabbing enemies from a distance or as you approach a group of enemies

anyone know why my Daily Roulette: Leveling is only set to lv 16? i'm currently 31BRD

Thats just the minimum level

quiet igloo

oh and it'll go up from there? i also see there's a 50+

wintry chasm
#

Yeah leveling roulette is any dungeon not at 50/60/70/80 which you can actually do and the bonus XP you get is scaled by how low the dungeon is compared to your level

#

So even if you get the Sastasha you're getting a good chunk of XP from it

Otherwise you can find the action in actions and traits -> uhh extra?

#

If not under general and you can put it on a hotbar somewhere

#

It's basically like a photo mode where you can move the camera around, pause, put filters on, etc etc

leaden ginkgo
#

It's extra

#

Also I wanna ask, what could I do with Retainers

#

Tfw being in Shb and not used retainers

small vault
#

Worked well enough, thanks @wintry chasm

wintry chasm
#

You can send them out to gather specific items depending on what class you out them on and can also be set to get random stuff

#

Like really really random

#

One day they could give you some kelp, another day they could get a roof of a house

#

Probably took off from a neighbour

#

Aside from that they are just your item bank and your method for selling stuff on player market

will there be edenโ€™s verse normal raids released a week before savage ones?

Are the Vermilion cloaks and Osode worth getting vs the +2?

Okay so a bit new here. Been playing the free trial for awhile and was considering getting the game but my computer needed to be sent in for repairs but I remembered I owned a ps4. However I soon learned that free trial accounts can only be on one platform. So what my question is: is it possible to get the Complete version bundle for pc on mobile then play it on my ps4 until I get my laptop back?

junior yacht
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

I think you actually need to buy another copy if you want it on both platforms right?

#

but you can link account between 2 platforms

junior yacht
#

you need to purchase the game for each separate platform

pure knot
#

Ah

#

I guess Iโ€™ll just wait until my laptop gets back then

calm flare
#

hey all. My installation finally completed, I logged in and was able to choose the realm "Crystal". when connecting it had an error, upon logging back in it is making patch 20gigs. Any way around this, as my internet is terrible and 20gigs will take all day . . . and I was literally just in the game

leaden ginkgo
#

did you activate the game in between somewhere?

#

it downloads the expansions only after activating them

calm flare

oh! I bet that is it. Any way NOT to download the expansion right now?

leaden ginkgo
#

nope

Disable nvidia game overlay crap, and make sure you have latest drivers. I used to have TONs of issues with that

Also discord overlay can cause it too

You have ATI?

Hmm most people have issues related to nvidia.

Make sure you have nothing that overlays onto the game/screen. That's one of the biggest causes

i do have 2 monitors? idk if thats y?

@fresh lodge So you say my BiS melds for 80 will be the same for this?

Though anything above 300 isn't worth melding

Like move the items in any way? no why?

fresh lodge

You have to rotate the furniture when you're done floating it

ooooooh, good to know, thank you for that info!

would make sense since my monitor is 144hz

deft cave
#

Hi guys, probably been asked before but what life skill are good to level as a new player? Just unlocked it and not sure if I need to level any of them or which to level

obsidian patio
#

you mean crafters and gathering classes? They're optional and not needed

#

but for crafters are generally advised to level up all of them at once

#

while gatherers can be pretty independent and cheap to level

deft cave
#

Yes, like the botanist, carpenter and etc just popped up in my minimap

#

Ill try botanist but I can just do it later right? No need to do it early

whole wasp
#

Yup entiely optional.

rich urchin
#

what all is locked behind completion of parts of 5.1 msq besides grand cosmos?

wooden glen
#

@obsidian patio Thank you Wynne. I was trying to figure out why I had Shield Bash, Low Blow, and now Interject. Seemed like three skills to perform the same task, but only one of them was on gcd

red junco
#

ugh, is there anything else to grind besides fates when waiting for my roulettes to queue as a dps?

jade quartz
#

Low Blow and Interject have different functions

#

Low Blowโ€”and Shield Bashโ€”inflict stun which incapacitates the enemy for a few seconds. This has diminishing effects each time you stun the same enemyโ€”they will be stunned for longer each time and eventually become immune to stun for 60 seconds or so.

#

Sub can be used to interrupt casts or just stop enemies from autoattacking and movingโ€”but many enemies are also immune to stun.

wooden glen
#

I'm only level 18; so far, I've been using Bash and Low Blow as interrupts, heh

jade quartz
#

Shield bash can be used repeatedly but costs a GCD. Low Blow is oGCD but has a cooldown timer.

#

Interject doesnโ€™t stun; it has an effect called โ€œinterruptโ€

#

This is used to halt particular interruptible castsโ€”identifiable because they have a pulsating glowing effect around the enemy cast bar.

#

Often endgame savage raids and the like will require interruption of certain casts as a mechanic.

#

The enemies you have to interrupt are usually immune to stun in those contexts.

#

Interject only has an effect if used to interrupt one of these casts.

#

Interesting that they choose to hand all three skills to GLA so early. Huh.

jade quartz
#

All tanks get them at the same level as they are role actions

#

Well, shield bash is exclusive to GLA/PLD

#

But the other two are shared role actions.

#

I mentioned that interrupt was mandatory in some raids but there are uses for it in low level stuff as well.

Heya! I have been playing through FF14 (love it btw) and I am at a point where I choose one of the three Grand Companies. Is there anywhere I can read about them? How important is choosing a company and can I change it later on?

junior yacht
#

the choice is purely aesthetic, and you can change between them freely

#

each GC represents the major military force of one of the three city-states

red junco
#

Ert, wrong

#

it costs 50k gil i believe

#

and you can only do it once every 15 days

#

also your rank is reset

raven sage
#

The first is free

red junco
#

Ah, then there ya go

raven sage
#

But they meant freely

junior yacht
#

that's not what "freely" means mr pedantic

raven sage
#

As in whenever

red junco
#

well gee, sorry, just wanted to help

junior yacht
#

and your rank is maintained as well

#

while you do start from the bottom at each GC, if you ever go back you get your rank for that GC back too

red junco
#

You don't need to do your GC stuff to go through the main scenario quest, but you should generally do the early stuff so you can get your first chocobo.

#

Plus, ranking up in the GC gives you some pretty good stuff if you wish to, mainly for leveling and whatnot.

obsidian patio
#

you're basically given the chocobo for doing the story, assuming you didn't spend the seals on something else

#

How do I get Novus light?

obsidian patio
#

just gotta do the sidequest for it

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi guys ^^ so I just got my chocobos ability to fight with me and I was wondering about which route to go with it? Attacker defender or healer? I am a warrior (will get to 80 with it first)

obsidian patio
#

from level 1-50 content with the weapon equipped

junior yacht
#

healer until you get choco regen cure -> attacker -> the rest of healer -> tank

whole wasp
#

Attacker and healers are good choices tho most get healer asap since being able to heal is limited in most non-healer jobs

frank chasm
#

Thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Ty :)!

hybrid phoenix
#

Can someone else pay for crysta on my account or does it have to be me/match my account info, etc.?

#

In case anyone knows this.

whole wasp
#

You can buy crysta with paypal

#

Just use a different account?

hybrid phoenix
#

So, someone else can use their paypal for it?

whole wasp
#

Yup

#

But you gotta log into your mogstation to do it.

hybrid phoenix
#

Okay, what about paying directly for a sub? If my account info and person paying (their billing info) does not match?

#

Is it against the TOS or anything?

obsidian patio
#

As long as they're not already paying for another subscription i doubt it should be seen as suspicious

hybrid phoenix
#

I see. Ok thank you.

lethal mountain
#

Hey all, how do I level up GC rank past 2nd lieutenant?

#

I can no longer get promotion

obsidian patio
#

you need to level up your company squadron

lethal mountain
#

Sorry, returning after about 11 years lol. How do I do that?

obsidian patio
#

It's a sidequest in the grand company base, if you already accepted it then interact with the door by the hunt board

leaden ginkgo
#

11? Oh btw I was wondering how I can find a active fc? Should i start yelling in town XD advertising or?

lethal mountain
#

I can interact with hunt board... I just do those and I will eventually rank up?

#

Yes, 11 lol

obsidian patio
#

no, the door by the hunt board

lethal mountain
#

Oh, I can't go through it

obsidian patio
#

is there a quest in the base?

lethal mountain
#

I'm not seeing one... I may have already accepted it

obsidian patio
#

The quest is called "Squadron and Commander"

lethal mountain
#

Nvm, I don't have the quest, nor do I see it

obsidian patio
#

Not sure then, is there any other quest at the base?

#

try completing those

lethal mountain
#

No other quests

fresh lodge
#

Have you unlocked the Challenge log?

lethal mountain
#

I'm not sure

obsidian patio
#

oh yeah, that's a requirement for it

#

Go to Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks and grab the quest "Rising to the challenge"

lethal mountain
#

Ah ok, I'll check

Commendations do anything in particular?

Or are they just a pat on the back

fresh lodge

You get rewards at certain amounts

rugged crypt

Oh sweet. Thank ya'!

#

Leveling crafters through ishgard restoration. Macro works fine for every single one of my crafters but keeps failing the level 60 CUL collectible?

#

Same gear between my crafters, so its not my stats

obsidian patio
#

are they the same level?

young bison
#

Yea, Im doing them all in brackets and just started 60 craftable for all of them

#

Every single one works with the same macro except the CUL one doesnt gain enough progress

obsidian patio
#

Were you using food? maybe the buff expired

young bison
#

Have CP food running the entire time

light gull
#

I thought you couldn't get locked out of boss fights, just queued into an in-progress Copied Factory and I'm locked out lol

#

Or is there something I'm missing

raw solstice
#

it usually gives you a prompt to move to the fight

#

just a little delayed

light gull
#

Didn't get the prompt because I queued in progress, been sitting here for like 3 minutes lol

obsidian patio
#

you don't get teleported in if you enter while the fight is happening

light gull
#

Ah, must have been an oversight then

stable herald
#

Regarding Ishgard restoration, aren't the 60 and above crafts really difficult?

obsidian patio
#

pretty much, yeah

young bison
#

Im able to do them fine with macros

#

....except cul for whatever reason

stable herald
#

It means needing to get "on level" gear?

obsidian patio
#

yep

stable herald
#

Is it hard getting 70 to 80 for DoHs?

fresh lodge
#

No not really

#

Just spam leves

stable herald
#

I'm using Namazu gear atm, so I'm just debating if it's worth a gear upgrade

fresh lodge
#

The Handking set is enough

stable herald
#

Ah. Means gotta buy still I suppose

fresh lodge
#

Its yellow scrips though

#

So not expensive

pastel mantle
#

So I've played FF XIV in the past on pac but I recently bought it on the winter psn sale

#

I have a Razer Naga 2014 mmo mouse and I really would like to use it but its not registering the side buttons. Is there any way to get this thing working D:

fresh lodge
#

You would have to set it up so that the side buttons emulate buttons on the keyboard

pastel mantle
#

how do I do that?

#

right now they type 1 2 3 4 5 etc...

raw solstice
#

it should generally be pretty fine by default, honestly

#

I have mine just keeping with the 1234 etc

#

and it just inputs those like on the hotbar with 1234 etc

queen merlin
#

@pastel mantle I use naga, works fine

pastel mantle
#

wired on ps4 pro?

queen merlin
#

oh

#

sorry, did not catch that

fresh lodge
#

If they're typing numbers on PS4 then just Change the keybinds that you want them to be to those

pastel mantle
#

its not registering at all

#

i plugged it in for the first time while the games running

#

does that make a difference?

fresh lodge
#

Try this

spark rock
#

What's the best rotation for collectible 90 on a level 45 GSM?

pastel mantle
#

yeah i tried that one :\

#

didnt work for me

#

good to know that it should work though

#

mine always shows up as a mouse no matter what i do to it

#

doesnt see it as a keyboard

#

you have to buy the game twice

#

once for pc and once for ps4

#

does she have it on pc?

#

oh

#

oh ok

#

you have to create an account for the game

#

and then log in with that on the console

#

did you guys go here

#

oh

#

hmm

#

i bet its a region thing

fresh lodge
#

Where did she buy the game?

pastel mantle
#

yeahhh

#

im out I have no idea how that all works lol.

#

if you bought it on that japanese PSN and made a USA based Square Enix account I bet thats a issue

fresh lodge
#

Wait

#

What version of the game did she buy?

leaden ginkgo
#

did she register the games on account management

fresh lodge
#

Is she using her Square Enix ID to log into the game

#

And not her psn id

leaden ginkgo
#

I think when you buy off PSN the email you get is important

fresh lodge
#

Thats not how PSN works

#

You don't get a code when you buy off PSN

#

It automatically adds the game to your account when you log into the game for the first time

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

fresh lodge
#

Try to remember what email her SE account was tied to

#

Well... have her try to remember

#

Not at all

#

As long as she can actually access her AOL account

queen flame
#

besides poetics, is there a fast way to get Crystal Sand?

obsidian patio
#

Crafter and gatherer scrips

queen flame
#

what level do I need to be to get those?

obsidian patio
#

at least 50

queen flame
#

Can Ishgard restoration get me to 50 in a decent time?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yup

#

But you canโ€™t start them until after 20

#

I have a guide somewhere sec

queen flame
#

my highest is blacksmith at 17, can that craft get me scripts?

#

thanks

proud monolith
#

do i just ishgardian restoration DoH to lvl 60 then do leves to lvl 70?

leaden ginkgo
queen flame
#

great! thank you

#

so can blacksmithing or armor get me said scripts?

fresh lodge
#

Any crafter can get scrip

proud monolith
#

it can give you skybuilder scrips

obsidian patio
#

skybuilder scrips are different from yellow scrips

#

which are the ones needed for crystal sands

queen flame
#

so any DoH can get me yellow scrips?

obsidian patio
#

yep

queen flame
#

great! thank you so much

next girder
#

hello i cant seem to get into this dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

Itโ€™s below ground

#

Inside the tomb

next girder
#

uh...may i ask where the entrance is

proud monolith
#

I think theres a narrow passage

next girder
#

im lost lol

proud monolith
#

if you move east

next girder
#

ah!

#

found it thank you very much!

#

ah it's a duty

#

the waiting begins again Kmsquirtle

proud monolith
#

the suffering of a dps

next girder
#

quick question, i seem to be running out of storage space from crafting materials. is there additional space we can use?

leaden ginkgo
#

if ur on chaos I can carry lol

#

Yeah chocobo saddlebags and retainers can store additional stuff

obsidian patio
#

You can safely toss or sell to an NPC a majority of items that have a "Shop Selling Price" listed

#

that means it can be bought from a vendor somewhere

next girder
#

ahh

#

so ive been buying overpriced logs for some time now

silk burrow
#

accidently deleted sprint from the hot key list. Is there a way to put it back?

its in your actions and traits menu under general

click on "general"

silk burrow
#

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

#

i just saw it

#

lmao

#

thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm probably asking In the wrong place, but does anybody know of a discord or where to find other people for PoTD floors 100+ ?

dusk merlin
#

What's the ilvl requirement likely going to be for Eden 2?

leaden ginkgo
#

I havenโ€™t encountered a discord like that but you can use PF to organize a a static

obsidian patio
#

@dusk merlin probably around i450-460

dusk merlin
#

Damn

#

I capped my DPS at 448 and I can't get it any higher

leaden ginkgo
#

Sure you can

obsidian patio
#

Spend Phanta and run copied city for that stuff

dusk merlin
#

Only if I run Eden Savage

obsidian patio
#

also augmented crafting gear is i460

dusk merlin
#

I have the full copied set

obsidian patio
#

get phanta accessories and weapon

dusk merlin
leaden ginkgo
#

You can improve a lot on right side

twilit arch
#

spend phanta tomestones on accessories and weapons

leaden ginkgo
#

Is that ronkan weapon

dusk merlin
#

Yeah

#

Trying to catch my tank up with phanta

#

The limit kills me

leaden ginkgo
#

Ever wanted to do ex trials?

dusk merlin
#

I haven't done a single EX/Savage synced before

#

I've heard it's super brutal so most likely no

obsidian patio
#

5.2 dungeon will also have (most likely) i455 gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Phantasmagoria route it has to be then

obsidian patio
#

based on previous patches

dusk merlin
#

I still die a bit on copied so I'm probably nowhere near ready for EX

#

Mainly that first boss

#

Yeah I still have a good 8 weeks to go before I cap phanta on my tank

#

Assuming I hit the cap

#

Head, chest, gloves, legs, and 2 accessories

#

I still have 410 phanta to go this week

dusk merlin
#

Hunts are still the easiest way to get phanta right?

twilit arch
#

yeah

rare sable
#

Titania and inno is personally more or less the same diff as copied
It's just that if someone fail a mech in copied, they die alone, while if people fail mech in titania/inno, chances are they'll bring their party down with them

dusk merlin
#

I dunno Titania normal was hard enough

twilit arch
#

judging the EX based off of the normal isn't that great of an idea

#

since you're not at max level and you can overgear it pretty easily

#

overgear EX that is

rare sable
#

Plus, both have echo buff now

#

So with fresh learning party, you'll probably clear with just a few wipes

dusk merlin
#

I just rememeber trying to micromanage those trees as tank was rough

#

This was back in September-ish

fresh lodge
#

Each tank just takes a tree and lets the dps handle the first one

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys, im level 15 and i unlocked the ability to join others guilds, should i join then now or continue lvling my class ?

obsidian patio
#

optional, you can complete the story with just your starting class

#

though it's always nice to see how other classes play and see if you like them

dusk merlin
#

Plus the EX weapon drops are all RNG right?

obsidian patio
#

you get a token after each clear (two from Hades) and it takes 10 tokens for a weapon (7/3 split for Paladin sword/shield.)

#

So at most you'll need to clear 10 times for your weapon

dusk merlin
#

Eh it's not RNG but that is still pretty gross lol

#

I take it's something you just queue up for?

leaden ginkgo
#

Nah you wanna do pf

dusk merlin
#

My PF is always a ghost town

warped nest
#

Nobody use duty finder on EX

proud monolith
#

I find Hadex EX harder than eden savage 1

warped nest
#

Do you write down what do you hope to achieved?

#

Learning, please at leaf watch vid
Practice
Clear party, will kick if you have no idea what you are doing

dusk merlin
#

I've never made a party before, just looked for parties

warped nest
#

PF are barren in day time and late nights

dusk merlin
#

In general it's dead

proud monolith
#

If you look at PF during peak time, there should be like 1-2 practice for hades

warped nest
#

Not during dinner

#

Plus you can make your own party

dusk merlin
#

I'd imagine that would take hours to organize

slate arrow
#

it doesn't

#

tops, maybe an hour

#

unless it's extreme dead hours

proud monolith
#

usually it takes like

#

20mins

#

during dead times

warped nest
#

If it is somewhat current contents, around 10 - 20 mins

proud monolith
#

at least for my DC

slate arrow
#

there's a reason why it's 8 people

#

and not 20 like in WoW

novel parcel
#

I got some collectables from mining (raw hematite) but the collectable appraiser dismisses me in Eulmore. Did I miss anything?

slate arrow
#

did you unlock eulmore collectibles by talking to not rowena

warped nest
#

Do they need it?

raven sage
#

(Not Rowena = Mowen btw)

warped nest
#

Do you meet the required collectible rating?

novel parcel
#

No I didn't unlock anything, assumed I can do this since the other appraisers accept me

raven sage
#

Yeah you need to unlock

warped nest
#

Have you finished the MSQ?

novel parcel
#

ye

#

finished msq

slate arrow
#

check if mowen has a bluequest

novel parcel
#

oki doki will do

twilit arch
#

have you unlocked the previous houses?

novel parcel
#

If it helps: I blazed through miner never doing the collectable things

i.e idyllshire/rhaglr's reach?
