aether lets you use spells like fester and painflare, dreadwyrm aether is required to summon demi bahamut
but how do i know i have enough dreadwyrm aether, wheres the meter?
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
ohh okay, how do i make it full bright blue?
You get a stack of Dreadwyrm whenever you leave Dreadwyrm Trance
You get 2 stacks fron 72 onward
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
ohh okay got it ๐ and bahamut just auto-attacks like the other summons?
not quite
No, it casts Wyrmwave whenever you cast a spell
whenever you cast a spell, he will use wyrmwave
and when you use enkindle bahamut he will use akh morn
so any spell even like ruin 3 right?
mhm
So the rough rotation when demi-bahamut is out is: ruin 2 + enkindle > ruin 2+ fester > ruin 3 until you can endkindle/fester again
thanks guys ๐ appreciate it alot!
Can I still get the regalia mount?

No
It might be added to the Mogstation later or the event might come back, but for the moment there is no way to get it
F

What about the red horse?
Wait nvm
This one is better because it matches dark knight 
they're both cash shop mounts
Ok .-.
top is red hare, bottom is selpinir
Is it unlikely to find people willing to help you with crafting HQ recipes above lvl 70?
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?
Yes, I am
How come i'm not seeing mining/gathering nodes for skybuilder's spring water?
are you at 24.4-13.7?
around there yes
you've unlocked the restoration, right?
and when you open your gathering log, you can see the skybuilders' items in the special section?
yes
hm
wait nvm
im dumb af
i was on my gathering instead of miner :^)
i should head to bed
/pats happens to everyone ๐
Does anyone know how much sleipnir costs?
24$
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
for fashion report can i glamour the gear onto myself
yes
excellent
Sales are uncommon

I think slepnir has gone on sale a few times, but thatโs more because it was one of the first items added in the mogstation
What about clouds bike from ff7?
30$
LMFAOOOOOOO 
The bike has gone on sale before though so there's some hope
I really want sleipnir
i heard melee combat feels "floaty", any comments on this? melee interests me most
But I'm gonna have to wait until it's on sale

Wooden Deck
Ty
for the Aetheric Density collection does it matter if I have the Anima weapon equipped or in the inventory? to collect for the Glyphs?
Have to have it equipped
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
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
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
How do I choose to do them solo?
Duty Finder > Cog at the top of the menu > Undersized Party
By doing it that way can I still solo as a Sup? @obsidian patio since Im doing the Scholar Anima weap
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
Hey guys, i just bought the game and gonna start playing it in 15 minutes, looking for friends ๐
im level 78 so should be fine ๐ฎ
can anyone spare 1 yew log here? trying to buy on market but it's only available in bulk ๐ฆ
Buy all keep 1. Sell back.
World hop.
Level a botanist
i don't have 10kgil to buy all though so there's that. i guess i'll pause on that quest for now
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.
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!
:)
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.
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!
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.
:)
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?
Do we have discords solely for hunt trains
@frail jasper those need to be done as ninja
@obsidian patio Big oof. Thanks for the clear up.

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)
Is there no way to exchange Allagan Poetics tomestones for level 60 gathering Ironworks?
@shell dagger No
@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.)
๐ญ nooo
@novel parcel Nothing major there a lot of things to dodge tho
Then how do people get them, by crafting?
They get them with gathering scrips
What are gathering scrips
Its like tomestomes for gatherers
ah kk ty storm
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
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.
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
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.
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
!faq balance
For more details
thanks mate.
So duties have difficulty modes now, is there any downsides to just taking the easy way out?
Nope
Thx
To get the fullgame + ShB you need to buy the starter edition & the expansion right ?
Those 2 I mean
Oh there is the complete edition too I didn't notice
You can either buy complete edition or starter edition + shadowbringers, which will also give you Heavensward and Stormblood
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
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?
I need to applied in your account settings over on the mogstation I belive
there should be a thing over there
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
Retainers share name pools? Or was my name choice censored? I went with ichi
You need to be on the full version of the game but havent made your first sub yet
but once i buy the game, wont i get 30 days right away to play?
or does those first 30 days not count?
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
yeah the 30 days of free time from buying the game is NOT a subscription
its just some free time to get you started.
As a side note you also get 15 free days when you get to lv 30 on a preferred server
One time only
ah, I've managed! Thankyou very much everyone, for the help and info!
/pvpac iirc is the command
oh yueah thanks

If I want to level up Blacksmithing and Leatherworker do I need to do any other jobs too? (Like miner for materials or something)
so.. since I'm poor I guess I'll be leveling a lot of the jobs then
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
I recommend leveling them at the same pace so that the gear doesn't fill your inventory
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
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
uhh not all
Well
i'm samurai
but again. not all
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
To craft armour for yourself, you'll need to level all crafters except for Cul
Thats with road buff tho
you may be able to skip alchemist
Nope
oh?
A few of the armour need materials from Alc
alchemist makes stuff which are pre-crafts for other stuff
right but hes not looking to craft all amours.
like strength goo
oh. that makes more sense
It doesn't matter what class the armour is for
Eventually all jobs use armour from all of the crafters
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
basically, please level all of them.
Tl;Dr just level then all
or else it's a long road
but armourers do the heavier armour
not always
it is which is why every crafting leveling guide is basically
"please level them all"
^
It's an intricate system
It's a case by case basis for a lot of gear and what makes what
So the ones I can miss out are culinarian, fisher and maybe botanist?
and then also sometimes maybe herbs for cooking as well but thats offtopic so we'll skip that
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
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
desynth is tied to crafting
when right clicking
some things cannot be desynthed.
You have to have a lv30 crafter to do the side quest to unlock desynthesis
ah oki

is there an overview for rotations on all classes?
!faq balance
^ have everything you need to know from rotation to melds
But there is nothing about dancer or am I just missing it?
The website is only updated once in a blue moon
Go to the discord server
That's always up to date
And full of generally helpful people
ah okay ^^ ty
any suggestions on what server is the best to start on?
!faq dncguide
It'll have a star next to it
europe/na?
na
if you're into roleplay, the crystal datacentre would be the best fit
otherwise it doesn't really matter
Pick either Primal or Crystal for a preferred world then
aether has the largest raiding population
crystal has the most preferred worlds
are you playing with any friends
Nah none of my friends like mmos lol
ah then just pick w/e
So I'm using SMN class and I often use Egi-Ifrit, but I don't seem to understand too well when Egi-Garuda is useful other than mob clearing. Is she only meant for mob clears, or is there something else?
Oh ok thank you
AoE and if the boss moves around a lot
For the entry subscription, when they say "Max 1 Character Per [Server]" does Server mean Worlds or Data Centers?

world
@twilit arch Thank you!
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
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 .
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
ah , Would ranking Healer up a bit be good for MSQ dungeon clearing ?
Is the Nier raid the best way to gear up casually right now?
Seems like Eden gear is 10 IL less
nier raid is only 1 gear per week so eden is probably faster
since eden isnt limited anymore
Oh right forgot about caps
You can also get crafted gear and upgrade it to 460
So I got 1 hat from there and that's it for the week
The apocryphal gear is savage right?
How do I pause the motion when using gpose?
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
guys hey ๐
On PC I don't know the controls but on PS4 it'd be R2 Losiboy
I'm on pc
But still limited to 1 piece per run right
1 and 2 on the keyboard
No Triablos
You can roll on all the gear per run
multiple runs
as many runs as you want
Ok thanks
(sorry I didn't mean to cap that no)
Lol
Wasn't there something about exclusive gear? Or can I just run Eden 1 forever for everything
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
Is there a way to check which round gives what parts?
I need every main piece except hat
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
!faq edenloot
O duh
etc
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
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
With my luck I guess I got a long while
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
ok thanks
do we have a date yet for next LL?
kk thank you ๐
The only thing i can think of is before Feb. 18th.

Worthless
fair enough ty
hello, im level 24 and feel a bit lost. my only quest is sastasha and i cant seem to find people who wanna do it. is there any other place i should be to continue my quest?
How do i unlock dungeons? I'm already level 17
@leaden ginkgo do your msq, all/most stuff is locked behind it
Ah thanks, ill keep doing that
@next girder u could ask in the novice network on your world for help, ask your fc or ask in a city with a shout or stay in que till u get in
would help but arent on your datacenter
sorry what is fc?
oh
dont have that yet i think
everybody seems to be busy in tonberry
i'll try other worlds i guess
sorry was in a fate. yes i am
too bad
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
my friends told me to play on tonberry bec that's where they are. but they arent around when im online 
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
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
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
You have to be invited to it by a Mentor
best is to shout in a city for an invite
Just /sh in a city for an invite
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.
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
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
@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

Ah thanks Omega
Does using HQ mats in Quick Synthesis increase chance of HQ output?
Do all beast tribes require the same number of days to complete? (Assuming u do 3 quests everyday)
Do people who run end game high difficulty raids, after their initial clears do it for farming materials and the like or is it just for raising something else? Or is it just for fun?
@leaden ginkgo mounts, gear, mats and for fun
Im still really new so I was just curious is all thanks
Sure : )
What do the icons mean? The dot, question mark, and checkmark?
odd question
@sturdy mason check means you opened that storage since you logged in, question mark means you havenโt
if I DC during a run. am I kicked out right as I DC and have to wait for the 30mins Q timer to run out
You stay in the instance unless people kick you, but you wonโt get a queue penalty for being kicked
@obsidian patio And the dot?
ok thank you
Probably means it doesnโt need to be opened to check.
Ah ok. TY

Hi, can I ask for help? I'm a new player, and I want to try Trial Version. I'm from Malaysia, I think Malaysia do not support this game or something??
Now I come across this, I do have SE account but that's for Japanese, I tried to register but it wont work. I don't know why... or do I nid to make SE account for NA/EU?
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??? >.<
Does this game have a storage system?
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 (UlโDahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
is se account for the country are diferent?
I was told this game is full of nice and helpful people
@fresh aurora just noticed but you donโt need the one time password, thatโs just for extra security
oh ok
lel it worked
is the region servver can be chosen in game?
or is it based on account?
You can play on any server regardless of where you live
Iโm in NA but I could transfer to a JP server and play there if I wanted to
Where can I trade in genesis and mendacity?
the girls at mor dhona
how does one progress to hoh beyond 30? talked to kyusei, don't really see an option for it?

silly question, is your hard drive full?
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?
almost always premade on NA and EU
I pug savages
@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.
@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)
@sinful nacelle only Fixed parties can go past floor 30
I see thanks
Floors 31-100 are considered challenge floors
@mild cedar You can pug savage content. This is what I've done, as I don't have time for premade groups (statics).
you'll have more luck queuing if you do it through party finder i think
they're asking if people queue up through the DF like roulettes vaden, NA and EU don't
JP do
ah, apologies, misread
JP does kinda
To my knowledge they do practice in duty finder and the easier fights in duty finder
Do I need 85/85 aetherpool to be able to do a fixed party up to floor 100 HoH?
ok so I am Chief Serpent Sergeant and I would like to donate stuff to gain rank
who do I talk to?
found it

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?
It should just change model as you wear it on different genders @gritty oracle
Ah, thanks!
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
oh cool
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
hey uhm, where can I look up what the general playing experience of each class is like?
I'm looking into healers, kinda want to see what the most involved/interesting to play ones are.
Gotcha, thanks
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
If you're a DPS that's completely expected
Yea dps, first time it's happened to be this long though
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
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
its possible that no one is currently running the dungeon rn
esp if you're not at peak hours
@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

What to spend poetics for when it hits cap?
!faq poetics
Guys I donโt know whatโs going wrong
Is the cassie earring still useful in Eureka as gear?
I am on my Mac in my office playing the game between calls. I set the macro 98 as such:
/micon โsprintโ
/ac โsprintโ
cassie earring is still good yeah
itโs nice, but not something Iโd buy
It wonโt do it though. What did I do wrong?
depends a bit how well you scale with skill speed but it's an absolute ton of skill speed
Thanks
I have one, but wasn't sure if aether earring is better etc
Cassie Earring is better
@feral schooner looks right to me, not sure why it wouldnโt work
does copied factory still have 1 item a week limits?
Yes
@obsidian patio me either lol if I put the generic wave macro in slot 98 and hit the right joy stick it works. So Iโm just like wtf
thanks @obsidian patio
All of the Eureka rare drops are BiS, even over +2
๐ฎ I did not know dis
I figured current BiS gear synced down would be best until +2
The chest pieces have 5 materia slots that work in eureka since they i300
The slots on the +2 stuff do nothing in eureka because theyโre over the ilvl sync
I don't think optical hat is better than +2
For Hades Ex, the tether phase, if you have the fire debuff, you would grab an ice tether, correct?
!item Optical Hat
Welp
Yeah itโs a wash since it canโt be used with the casting/healing chest
@keen rivet yes
So O-Hat is a nogo?
Pretty much
gotcha, thanks
Does anyone have at least a guesstimate of how much time elapsed from ||the whole Ul'Dah disaster|| in 2.55 and the battle against ||The Griffin|| in 3.5?
Thereโs no real confirmed time passage
Weโre basically in a giant time bubble
Whoops wrong channel
how do I change the class of my Minion of Light
I'm Black Mage so I want to have a black mage following me
Dark Knight is level 30 and locked behind HW MSQ
Heavensward and Main Story Quest
I know what you meant
Asking whenever you don't understand something is also a good start
I'm just commenting for everyone's sake
@rocky kindle just keep summoning and unsummoning it
YAY
Black Mage!
I gave up because I got White Mage three times in a row
now I'm sexy black mage with a black mage chobo and a black mage pet
drk unlock quest is L50 even with story skip fwiw
Is there a limit of how many times you can augment your board in eureka with the items that drop?
@drifting nymph the magicite? You can get a total of 7 (5 from quests, two from trading in items) and can have up to 5 in a single element
Okay, so I need to collect 2 sets of the items.
Two different sets of items, canโt be one set twice
Yes
Is the other set Hydatos?
Yep
Ah okay
New player coming from WoW, extremely confused by server options.
As an east coast USA player do I have no option but to play with 100 ping in this subscription mmorpg??
100 ping is good for pretty much all the jobs. But yes thereโs no West Coast datacenter
Thats insane to me, this game is recommended by alot of people and none seemed to mention that the service area is limited :/
It's not as bad as you think tbh
I'm on the west coast. I barely notice any latency.
As a noobie: are there any good/updated guides on Gladiator? I keep finding guides online that mention skills that seem to be no more, and I just want to know what some of these buttons should be used for.
executionally you are fine up to about 150-200 ping in this game
Gotta run, I'll ask a more specific question later.

@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 youโre 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 itโs 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
oh and it'll go up from there? i also see there's a 50+
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
ok great ty for that
Is there an easy way to take screenshots without all the text and UI?
Or do I have to mod?
Type /gpose in chat
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
It's extra
Also I wanna ask, what could I do with Retainers
Tfw being in Shb and not used retainers

Worked well enough, thanks @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
For quick pics, you can just hit scroll lock to turn the HUD off

will there be edenโs verse normal raids released a week before savage ones?
how did it go for 4.2?
only the first tier for each expansion is staggered to give people time to complete the story
the second and third tier have normal and savage launch at the same time at patch release
Are the Vermilion cloaks and Osode worth getting vs the +2?
Also what effect does haste have exactly?
it's basically super skill/spell speed
and they're better than the +2 since you can also use the upgrade materials on the other pieces of gear
yep
Ty sir
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?
no
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
you need to purchase the game for each separate platform
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
did you activate the game in between somewhere?
it downloads the expansions only after activating them
oh! I bet that is it. Any way NOT to download the expansion right now?
nope
So rare eureka gear is speed belt, and cassie earring. Anything else?
What a bummber.
It's a bit lame yes
Thank you for the clarity
It was going to have to get downloaded eventually though
So it's not so bad if you think about it like that
Just a huge disappointment as I was so excited to play with friends, but now I will wait another day ๐ฆ
any1 else have issues with directx 11? the game would crash every 10mins for me
switched to dx9 and no problems but i want dx11..

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
i dont have either of those, do have the latest drivers too, oh well. ๐
You have ATI?
ATI = radeon right? yeah
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
Tabbing out a lot can cause it too. You on desktop or laptop?
@obsidian patio Other than speed belt, osode/vermillion, cassie is there anything I am missing that I can pick up on MB?
nope
Any suggestions for materia?
direct hit and then crit probably, Direct Hit is better than crit at low total amounts
I'm gearing them all, so any suggestions appreciated
@fresh lodge So you say my BiS melds for 80 will be the same for this?
I'm melding the osode and vermillion
does the game scale players or anything? For example, what happens if I am level 20 and a friend is level 50 but we wanted to play together?
Dungeons and Fates have a level sync system
@drifting nymph desktop, pretty high end too
But for questing there isn't any way
I need a bit of help, I try doing the floating item thing with my loft, like it works on the first go, but as soon as I leave the house and back, the item go back down the floor, what am I doing wrong?
Did you rotate the item?
Like move the items in any way? no why?
You have to rotate the furniture when you're done floating it
ooooooh, good to know, thank you for that info!
hmm i may have to try this https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/c6p5zw/definitive_solution_for_dx11_crashes_in_50/
would make sense since my monitor is 144hz
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
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
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
Yup entiely optional.
what all is locked behind completion of parts of 5.1 msq besides grand cosmos?
I think only just Kai-Shirr for custom delivery
so i can just unlock the dungeon and then take it at my own pace
yep

@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
ugh, is there anything else to grind besides fates when waiting for my roulettes to queue as a dps?
Low Blow and Interject have different functions
Low Blowโand Shield Bashโinflict stun which incapacitates the enemy for a few seconds. This has diminishing effects each time you stun the same enemyโthey 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 movingโbut many enemies are also immune to stun.
I'm only level 18; so far, I've been using Bash and Low Blow as interrupts, heh
Shield bash can be used repeatedly but costs a GCD. Low Blow is oGCD but has a cooldown timer.
Interject doesnโt stun; it has an effect called โinterruptโ
This is used to halt particular interruptible castsโidentifiable 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.
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?
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
Ert, wrong
it costs 50k gil i believe
and you can only do it once every 15 days
also your rank is reset
The first is free
Ah, then there ya go
But they meant freely
that's not what "freely" means mr pedantic
As in whenever
well gee, sorry, just wanted to help
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
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.
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?
just gotta do the sidequest for it
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)
from level 1-50 content with the weapon equipped
healer until you get choco regen cure -> attacker -> the rest of healer -> tank
Attacker and healers are good choices tho most get healer asap since being able to heal is limited in most non-healer jobs
Thanks
Ty :)!
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.
So, someone else can use their paypal for it?
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?
As long as they're not already paying for another subscription i doubt it should be seen as suspicious
I see. Ok thank you.
Hey all, how do I level up GC rank past 2nd lieutenant?
I can no longer get promotion
you need to level up your company squadron
Sorry, returning after about 11 years lol. How do I do that?
It's a sidequest in the grand company base, if you already accepted it then interact with the door by the hunt board
11? Oh btw I was wondering how I can find a active fc? Should i start yelling in town XD advertising or?
I can interact with hunt board... I just do those and I will eventually rank up?
Yes, 11 lol
no, the door by the hunt board
Oh, I can't go through it
is there a quest in the base?
I'm not seeing one... I may have already accepted it
The quest is called "Squadron and Commander"
Nvm, I don't have the quest, nor do I see it
No other quests
Have you unlocked the Challenge log?
I'm not sure
oh yeah, that's a requirement for it
Go to Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks and grab the quest "Rising to the challenge"
Ah ok, I'll check

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
are they the same level?
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
Were you using food? maybe the buff expired
Have CP food running the entire time
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
Didn't get the prompt because I queued in progress, been sitting here for like 3 minutes lol
you don't get teleported in if you enter while the fight is happening
Ah, must have been an oversight then
Regarding Ishgard restoration, aren't the 60 and above crafts really difficult?
pretty much, yeah
It means needing to get "on level" gear?
yep
Is it hard getting 70 to 80 for DoHs?
I'm using Namazu gear atm, so I'm just debating if it's worth a gear upgrade
The Handking set is enough
Ah. Means gotta buy still I suppose
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:
You would have to set it up so that the side buttons emulate buttons on the keyboard
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
@pastel mantle I use naga, works fine
wired on ps4 pro?
If they're typing numbers on PS4 then just Change the keybinds that you want them to be to those
its not registering at all
i plugged it in for the first time while the games running
does that make a difference?
Try this
What's the best rotation for collectible 90 on a level 45 GSM?
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
Official management site for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station.
oh
hmm
i bet its a region thing
Where did she buy the game?
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
did she register the games on account management
I think when you buy off PSN the email you get is important
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
Ok
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
besides poetics, is there a fast way to get Crystal Sand?
Crafter and gatherer scrips
what level do I need to be to get those?
at least 50
Can Ishgard restoration get me to 50 in a decent time?

do i just ishgardian restoration DoH to lvl 60 then do leves to lvl 70?
Ishgard Restoration guideBy Iโnanghal Shikhu(Shikhu#3190) and The Balance discord: https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv OverviewConcerted WorksCraftingGatheringMacrosIshgard Restoration is a new piece of content added in 5.11 that allows you to craft collectables for...
Any crafter can get scrip
it can give you skybuilder scrips
skybuilder scrips are different from yellow scrips
which are the ones needed for crystal sands
so any DoH can get me yellow scrips?
yep
great! thank you so much
uh...may i ask where the entrance is
I think theres a narrow passage
im lost lol
if you move east
the suffering of a dps

quick question, i seem to be running out of storage space from crafting materials. is there additional space we can use?
if ur on chaos I can carry lol
Yeah chocobo saddlebags and retainers can store additional stuff
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
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"
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+ ?
What's the ilvl requirement likely going to be for Eden 2?
I havenโt encountered a discord like that but you can use PF to organize a a static
@dusk merlin probably around i450-460
Sure you can
Spend Phanta and run copied city for that stuff
Only if I run Eden Savage
also augmented crafting gear is i460
I have the full copied set
get phanta accessories and weapon
You can improve a lot on right side
spend phanta tomestones on accessories and weapons
Is that ronkan weapon
Ever wanted to do ex trials?
I haven't done a single EX/Savage synced before
I've heard it's super brutal so most likely no
5.2 dungeon will also have (most likely) i455 gear
Phantasmagoria route it has to be then
based on previous patches
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
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions and discuss Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion. Thank-You, Kupo!
Hunts are still the easiest way to get phanta right?
yeah
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
I dunno Titania normal was hard enough
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
Plus, both have echo buff now
So with fresh learning party, you'll probably clear with just a few wipes
I just rememeber trying to micromanage those trees as tank was rough
This was back in September-ish
Each tank just takes a tree and lets the dps handle the first one
Hey guys, im level 15 and i unlocked the ability to join others guilds, should i join then now or continue lvling my class ?
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
Plus the EX weapon drops are all RNG right?
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
Eh it's not RNG but that is still pretty gross lol
I take it's something you just queue up for?
Nah you wanna do pf
My PF is always a ghost town
Nobody use duty finder on EX
I find Hadex EX harder than eden savage 1
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
I've never made a party before, just looked for parties
PF are barren in day time and late nights
In general it's dead
If you look at PF during peak time, there should be like 1-2 practice for hades
I'd imagine that would take hours to organize
If it is somewhat current contents, around 10 - 20 mins
at least for my DC
I got some collectables from mining (raw hematite) but the collectable appraiser dismisses me in Eulmore. Did I miss anything?
did you unlock eulmore collectibles by talking to not rowena
Do they need it?
(Not Rowena = Mowen btw)
Do you meet the required collectible rating?
No I didn't unlock anything, assumed I can do this since the other appraisers accept me
Yeah you need to unlock
Have you finished the MSQ?
check if mowen has a 
have you unlocked the previous houses?
If it helps: I blazed through miner never doing the collectable things
i.e idyllshire/rhaglr's reach?
