the grand company sells them for grand company seals
you can also buy them off the marketboard for gil
If you have a crafter to level 15 I think you can learn how to craft your own glamour prisms.
You want to know what music that is?
what's the name of the quest?
Is SAM gear part of Leatherworking or is it Armorer?
Thing is crafting is intricate and it's a case by case basis depending on the piece of gear
but yeah sure usually it's ltw
Awesome.
wait
so if my FC is in mist
my apartment is in goblet
and my house is in the lavender fields
i can just TP to that one
and then tp a second time to the capital city
and save money
vses just tping from capital city to capital city because of the discount?
teleporting to/from the housing districts has a general discount IIRC
I definitely know that teleporting to the district has a big discount
1/4 of the full price
wow thats insane
Make sure the houses have a mini aetheryte on them though
What item level should you have at lvl 60?
i230-i270 near the end of the heavensward patch story
as you can buy i260 shire gear for poetics in Idyllshire and upgrade it to i270
Okay ty

thanks Lch, i never though of that
Is there still some kind of bonus xp for logging out in the inn?
nope
the only bonus exp you get is for being in a sanctuary, logged in or not it's the same rate
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue in it?'
That's Rested experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Oh that's good to know
an inn counts as a sanctuary too but so does any city with a big aetheryte
but the animation for logging out/in from an inn is cute <3 but otherwise no real advantage
I cant find the starting quest for sephirot
Check for the quest "Gods of Eld" in The Pillars near the Fortemps manor
if that's not there then go to the Rising Stones and go into the Solar
...it also looks like you'll need to complete a bit of Heavensward patch story for the sephirot quest
is Int better than Crit for Summoner?
"As Goes Light So Goes Darkness"
yes, main stat is always better than secondary stats
They have meld recommendations for all jobs
and i have to finish stormblood to get it?
base stormblood (4.0) MSQ
basically get to level 70 MSQ and complete the quest "stormblood"
thanks 😄
Trying to unlock custom deliveries for Kurenai and Adkiragh and there seem to be requirements for the requirements. Do I need to have progressed a certain point in a DoH/L main quest line to unlock them? My DoL are at their 63~ and DoH are at their 55~ quests.
They both require normal sidequests to unlock.
Adkiragh requires "Purpol Rain" in the Azim Steppes at Reunion
Kurenai needs a chain of sidequests starting with "Fathoms Below", if you unlocked Shisui of the Violet Tides
if not then the starting quest is "The Palace of Lost Souls"
Also I recommend you catch up on your crafter sidequests now, Manipulation at level 65 is a very powerful skill and is given from the level 65 quest

Alright, that's what I'm missing. I've skipped a bunch of normal side quests but figured they were tied to DoX quests or what have you. The crafter stuff's been on my to-do list but I've not had need of the skills and have since capped at 80 via Ishgard.
Thanks for helping!

new to ffxiv have a question about subs
is it 30 days of play time
or 30 days counting even when not playing
Its 30 days from when you activate the game
It counts down even when you're not playing
ah alright thanks
What quest open up the HW clan hunts? I forgot >.<
"Let the Clan Hunt Begin" in Ishgard
you need to have unlocked ARR hunts as a prequisite
What quest unlocks the ARR hunts? xD
"Let the Hunt Begin" which requires you to be 2nd lieutenant in your grand company
Mmmmmk, welp gonna have to wait to unlock all that stuff then.
I have a really oddly specific question. When playing AST and tryign to take screenshots in gpose, is there any way to get the stellar detonation in the shot?
So I bought the level boost for DRG and apparently there is a lvl 60 gearset but the boost makes you 70, is there a way I can find what quest I need to start at to get that gear set
buying the job boost skips the level 60 quest. to get the gear you'll need to buy it for centurio seals in ishgard at the Forgotten Knight
whats the best way to get GC seals
If you're Sergeant 2nd class then you can turn in pink/green/blue-rarity gear in at the grand company for seals.
if not then you'll want to do the grand company hunting log, FATEs, and leveling roulette (daily bonus) to get the needed seals to promote to that rank
Spamming dungeons as tank and greeding all the loot gives a great amount of seals
Is the level cap for ARR 50 or 80?
Does it require you to have the dlc to surpass 50
yes you need the expansions to surpass 50
How hard is eureka solo? is it even possible to get some Pyros armor that way or would i need consistent runs with a party?
with the 100% echo buff solo grinding is very easy to do, though grindy
you'll still most likely need a group to do the FATEs to get the token materials needed to upgrade the relic weapon and get the elemental armor set

how do i bind two buttons? like.. ex. mouse4 + 1
I don't believe you can
what's the best trusts comp
Oh? but they will allow ctrl + 1?
Only Shift/Alt/Control can be used as modifiers tied to another keybind
some mice will allow you to rebind M4 for example to control/alt/shift
which let you use them as modifiers
@snow wyvern I personally use ||Alphinaud/Y'shtola/Alisaie||
There's no real notable difference between the groups in terms of best
though if you're going as a ranged/caster it might be best to bring ||Minfilia|| for the melee limit break
are there any monk gloves with green animations other than fist of fiend or the garuda one
!iglam Nyepels Lux
I would check the Anemos relics online, I know they're dyeable but I don't know if that affects the glow. Other than that I don't think so until the next round of craftable Primal weapons come out which is yet to be determined, though I could easily be mistaken and there is a 3rd green one. Like that.
😮
See? Proven wrong af XD
That weapon is the Anima weapon from the Heavensward relic series
hard part is mostly just grinding for a literal crapton of Tomestones of Poetics
You need like 5k poetics in total just for one part? Maybe 10k?
I forget but it's a holy fuck ton of poetics XD
Umbrite step alone is 9k with the best possible RNG
Oof, btw Wynne do you know the best way to get Wolf Collars via PvP? I want that fucking SAM weapon but I need 10 collars and I've never done PvP so yay me x.x
I believe those come from seasonal rewards
for getting a high enough rank in the leaderboards?
Oof x.x
I never did seasonal PVP so I can't say for sure
Yea its ranked feast
On crafted primal weapons: We haven't seen one of those in over a year. Patch 4.5 added crafted Goddess (||Sophia||) weapons, and we've had none since then. Demon (||Zurvan||) weapons are still not in the game, let alone all the Stormblood trial weapons.
So I wouldn't necessarily get your hopes up for them to come out.
(4.5 was only a year ago, but the point still stands)
Welp I'm never getting the SAM weapon from Ranked XD I suck at PvP in most MMOs. Yeah, we need the Demon stuff plus atleast all the 4.0 trial craftables soon. I need them, I'm making a collection of all crafted Primal weapons XD
My perception of time has become shaky
As a new player when would I look to have new characters
I'm trying to decide which sub option is best for me
most people don't usually play more than one character
Oh really guess I'll try the entry sub then
Yeah only two reasons really is to play on multiple data centers or for RP reasons
even then you can still use the Entry sub for the purpose of playing on multiple datacenters

Can Level Boost be purchased for multiple jobs?
Yes
-
The Nier Raid is a “casual” Raid similar to Crystal Tower, meaning anyone and their mom should be able to do it, right?
-
Can Trusts be used for MSQ?
-
Can Trusts be used for older casual Raids like CT or Ivalice?
-
If Trusts can’t be used in the casual Raids, do ppl still do the older ones at all?
-
Have they gotten rid of all the “filler” quests required to proceed in the story? (e.g. like I know you gotta save the world, but you gotta save mah bees first kk?)
- Yes
- Only ShB MSQ dungeons
- No
- Yes but unsyned
- Not yet
- yes
- yes
- no
- all the raids besides coil are in a roulette which keeps the queue time decently low for the most part
- no, but they are planning to rework ARR story as a whole in 5.3 to remove excess fluff and shorten it
thank you
so Trusts can't be used for something like..."The Bard's" retelling of your most epic fights? (e.g. an exaggerated version of your fight against Ultima Weapon)
correct, they can only be used in shadowbringers story dungeons
ty
5.3 sounds promising wit that story rework
I still have not spoiled myself on FF14's story
Is there a way to check mb prices without having to jump servers all the time or at least a way to check mb servers while I'm in another server?
@upbeat storm there's websites but they don't kept up to date that well
If you aren't already, Limsa is the fastest spot to world hop and check prices
Is the compain app any good?
Not really imo
But you should install it for the emote and extra favourite destination
Yeah but I'm looking across multiple items and constantly swapping between my and other servers to check ears time
You can't use it while you're logged in
Can anyone help?
With what?
I cast glamour on Arterial Woolen Robe and it shows up as the correct item on "Try On" but the appearance doesn't change
what's your level?
what item are you using for the glamour?
That's a Disciple of War chestpiece, so it won't show if a caster is wearing it
Well that sucks >_<
Glamour still has the same restrictions as equipping
There's the Harlequin's Acton which shares the same model as it, though with a slightly different color pattern
that one is usable by casters/healers
Any tips for a first time tank in Final Steps of Faith (Nidhogg)?
A bit nervous going into this because of the prior badass cut scenes... 😭
Don't try tanking the middle dragon add, it ignores aggro and does what it wants.
The tanks should tank alternate ones, right?
the ones to the side, yes
One for each other
yep
Anything for the third phase?
nothign besides make sure to stack for Ahk Morn
MrHappy guide just seems to go about avoid AOEs
and the fireballs explode in cardinal directions (North/East/West/South)
Can I sort my amoury and inventory by default settings via macro?
No

You can just... right click inventory to auto sort though... and iirc you can change the default sorting method in configuration
I was hoping to make a macro that would open all the inventories and sort them every time
Should I buy a skip potion
It's been almost 30 days and I'm barely hitting halfway on ARR
If you care about the plot no since ARR is so important and recapping methods aren't all that great tbh
But it's up to you
I'll power through then
I'm trying to grow different colour flowers in my house but it's saying additional pomace aren't necessary?
You can only fertilize/color once per hour
So if say, you want green, you'll have to do yellow> wait 1 hr+ > blue (or the reverse)
anyone knows the name of the stand on the far left with the cake?

Wooden showcase @blazing merlin
Ok, I got 3 horses. Does Leviathan drop one or am I just missing Titan, and Shiva?
no you do not
Aaah, kk sorry
I might need a little help with Levi then xD I kept dying to Levi over and over cuz I cannot tell for the life of me what side he's gonna smash down.
i would suggest turning up the sound and use the audio cues
^ stand mid, turn your camera to one side of the platform, if you hear splash but doesnt see it (on your side) you run forward
hi, I just got back in the game from the end of Stormblood, tank stances no longer reduce your damage ? There's no point in not being in tank stance now ?
aggro generation
Honestly I did all that, I'm probably too stupid to do the mechanic properly honestly >.>
without it you generate as much aggro as a dps
yeah I know that but I mean there's no drawback at all from being in tank stance anymore ?
nope
dps stance is the default, but tank stance is a free toggle for a lot of extra aggro
alright nice thanks
jeez they removed quite a lot of actions compared to stormblood (for drk at least)
@crude relic you can try making a pf or asking a friend to do it with you. I did levi with 2 of my fc mates cause I suck at running too x'D
probably easily get ppl in pf
tho some people are probably going to dip after one run since they'll likely be there for WT
Hi! Sorry I can't find any information on the web regarding how to get the common makai markswoman set. Does anyone know? Thanks you in advance!!
it's unobtainable, was a "temporary" pvp event for over 2 years between 3.4 and 5.1 and now it's over
Ugh how unfortunate. Guess I'm 2 years late lol. Thanks anyways and have a nice day!!
Hi! I want to buy subscription and i chose option to buy it with paysafecard, i choose Entry and then when i press "next" page just refresh, standard works normally and get me to write code page. Why is that is something wrong with website or what ?
maybe try on a different browser, that helps with buggy sites sometimes
after i sumbit a ticket and check on other browers i found this smal text "An entry level subscription cannot be purchased until your standard level subscription expires.
"
it is rly hard to say text
yeah, gotta wait then till your current one expires
i think you cant buy a sub until the free sub from buying starter edition expires. thats what i remember happening previously

Does any of the old content have mounts associated with hunts? Like something you can buy with centurio seals or allied seals the same way you can buy a mount with nuts in ShB
I think there's a Wyvern mount in HW associated with the Elite hunts but don't quote me on that one.
Can squad members level beyond level 60?
Not at the moment
Though they haven't given any word on if they'll expand the level cap or not
Can full augmented Shire gear last an AST until 70?
if you really wanted to
No
but i'd advice swapping out upgrades you get in dsungeons
to make things much, much more comfortable
lv 65+ dungeon gear starts spiking in stats
Due to the way gear scaling works between HW and SB, there is a massive jump in stats at 64 HQ/65 Dungeon
It'll get a bit spicy if you're healing i Shire gear at 67 ect
Thanks!
If you really don't want to upgrade, you could switch to HoH from 65+
Nah, just dumping some poetics and planning gear ahead
Is there someplace to buy gear for level 40s from vendors or with poetics?
Thanks
Uhhh
The starting cities might sell 40 gear
If not try Mor Dhona or North Than
And no, Tome gear is only for 50/60/70/80
Anyone know what to do to get Kirin once you have all the Primal Ex mounts for ARR?
you talk to the wandering minstrel in mor dhona
Awesome! I knew it was in Mor Dhona just didn't know what person to talk to xD
Hey guys, do I have to reset my POTD if I can't advance anymore?
Do you not have a high enough Aetherpool, or did you make it to the end?
Not high enough gear it says
You can use the other save slot to get more silver chests, or you can just reset
Ah thank you

What iLevel should I be at 80 before I start soloing all the HW Ex Primals?
more gear is always better
You can probably pull it off with the baseline 420 ilevel, honestly
Mmk, and I'm guessing we can't solo SB Primals yet?
not really, you can low-man pretty hard tho like
even during stormblood you could do the easier of the two launch ex primals with four or five people
So at the current max level I could theoretically bring in a tank and a healer and 3 man it is what you're saying? Atleast for the 4.0 Primals
Well I'm talking about Susano, Lakshmi and Shinryu atm. Anything more than the launch primals and I wouldn't know what the hell I'm doing xD
Susan and Lakshmi yes, definitely
Shinryu is a little iffier because he has a dps check
Soooooo bring 3 other people, a healer another DPS and a tank? xD
You want at least 5 or 6 for Shinryu
Oh poo
Lakshmi also has a dps check, but it’s easier to deal with
shinryu's dps check can be rough and was rough with a full eight during a lot of stormblood for some reason
That means I'll actually have to PF it and fight for my doggo >.< poo
for a level 50 dungeon, would a level 60 with shire gear do less damage than a level 70 with scaevan gear? i dont get the level sync D:
Yes, because of how the sync works
Yes, but the difference will be so small its insignificant
I wouldn't worry about it
The only place where it really makes a difference is in Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium where the ilevel doesn’t sync correctly
What exactly do you mean that castrum/prae doesn't sync correctly?
If it doesn't specify an ilvl, then its synced to the highest for that level
Saying it doesn't ilvl sync correctly isn't correct at all, just because they don't have a ilvl sync specifically on it
Ah
https://i.imgur.com/4ifuzIZ.png anyone can help me out why I cant get a promotion?
first lieutenant and captain are locked behind squadron missions
What is your current rank?
That’s your problem then
I wanted to promote so I can buy squadron enlistment manual so I can actually start doing squadron stuff
1st lieutenant requires you to send your squadron on a specific level 50 flagged mission
And captain requires that you complete 10 command missions with your squadron
You can still get squadron members without the manual
I completed like 10 challenges and still didnt get any :(
The manual just increases tbe chance
You might have some waiting for you
Try the Gold Saucer challenges
The captain mission is command missions
and you have to be first LT to get the captain mission
there's two parts to the captain mission
1: do 5 unique dungeons with your squadron and 2: the flagged mission
Okay but I cant even get started yet
How many squadron members do you have?
How many challenge logs completion does it take to get your first squadron usually?
I think 3
What I have started with
Its rmg
O
So the type of challenge matters when it comes to chance of receiving and enlistment?
No
I havent done any battle ones
But I mostly do combat challenges, so I notice the recruits then
the only challenge logs that don't count, iirc, are eureka ones
everything else has a chance of giving a recruit
Just do three roulette dungeons
I guess I'll just have to keep trying to do those then
Yeah thats what I will do now
Or five roulette dungeons and remember to comm someone in each
That will complete 3 different challenges
Alrighty ty
do you always get 5 alexandrite per mysterious map?

@sinful nacelle, yes.
@rich bay Many thanks
so does the AI dungeon thing you unlock apply to lower level dungeons too?
so should i finish stormblood before i level alt jobs
no, it's only for shadowbringers msq dungeons
https://i.imgur.com/6cpCnvI.png How is it possible to get 3 levels off from just 1 low level duty roulette?
preferred server bonus most likely
Prefered server?
How do I grow Hans lemons?
Its only for new characters
Oh
how far along in the MSQ are you?
Oh Im just leveling alts
ah
Does anyone own the Tactical Assault FF XIV edition? I would like to know if the thumbpad is true analog.
If its an item thats only used as a collectable it'll automatically craft into a collectable
Otherwise you'll have to first complete the quest Inscrutable Taste in Ishgard
Is there one before heavensward?
Then you just try to raise the quality of the craft as high as possible
No
Collectables are 50+ with the exception of Ishgard Reconstruction
Not in Mor Dhona?
The unlock quest starts in Ishgard
im watching a guide on levelling alt jobs and it recommends command missions
is that unlocked in stormblood?
it unlocks when you reach rank 2 with your squadron which is unlocked when you reach second lieutenant with your gc
Squadrons just came during stormblood
aite ty
command missions can be helpful for DPS classes, but be aware that the AI behind your squadron members in dungeons is...not the greatest

Quick question, should I be looking into shields with higher block rate or higher block strength? I'm a level 15 gladiator btw if that helps
Oh, alright then
yeah i was watching desperius' levelling guide on YT for alts, but i was just wondering how you acquire that system
@scarlet arrow
For e4s, what and where do the waymarkers go for the triangle meteor drop strat?
how many leve allowances per day?
3 every 12h
Is there any way to get a second Scion Adventurer jacket? I have two separate glams that include it, but in different colours
dye it different colours in each glamour plate
Wait, that's possible?
When do I get recipes to restore the music sheets you get from bosses?
Are these not just automatically obtained based on level like others?
I don't know what mastercraft books are
So at 50 there's a guy in mor dhona who will sell you the first 2
I think it's Talan but someone would need to correct me
But after that the books 3-7 are from yellow scrips
hmm, do you know where this guy is? In sapphire exchange maybe?
Mor Dhona
And is it job-specific?
So every job has its own set of master books?
hmm ok
sorry I get Mor Dhona confused with Ul'dah. That's the place with the crystal tower right?
yes
I guess next to the aetheryte somewhere?
with 5.2 we should get book 8 for each crafter too
He's at a table with another man in the shop area
need to be 50 for the first 2 books too
how do I know which job can restore the music sheets?
these? They never let me do anything
yes
I just recently hit lvl 60 and my item level is 166. Should I go to idyllshire to buy gear or just stick with msq gear rewards?
Shire gear will always be your best option at 60 but if you're behind in msq then you can wait
Ah okay. Do you know what I should get for a white mage?
From shire or in general?
Shire
Does adding people to blacklist actually do anything besides block them in chat?
@fallow frost
The blue markers flare to the 3 tiles connected to it.
The Orange markers need to be shared on the same tile with another orange marker.
Yellow marked players need their own tile for the mechanic.
Like, if I added people, would I be able to avoid them in roulette?
no
That sucks.
for ranking up my GC to the point of unlocking command missions, will i need to be at a certain point in MSQ?
im in the prelude to stormblood
There's an optional dungeon you need to clear at some point
I don't remember if that's msq locked or just level locked
But you're well enough in it wouldn't matter
It doesn't require anything outside of ARR
yeah i've done one dungeon, im doing another now
okay cool so im just going to need seals basically
im second storm lieutenant now
The Aurum Vale is also known as healer nightmare.
If the tank doesn't know how to pull ofc.
Nice job Pierre.
Do levels above the base requirement of 30 count towards the improved job?
I’m lvl 37 lancer now since I still haven’t gotten to the MSQ that’s required to get the upgrades, will I get sent back to 30 as DRG or will I keep the progress?
You keep your progress
whew
you only get reset to one if you're picking up a new class that starts at 1 or whatever
The experience from a class to a job is shared
I guess I should say
You always get class EXP, a job is nothing more then a argumentation of a class. (A class mastery thing.)
oh yeah that reminds me, i heard that SCH and SMN level simultaneously, but how does the intro quest to upgrading from arcanist work?
is it just two seperate quests
There's two separate
ah okay
You also have to do job quests separately for both
The thing is that while they level up together you also have to gear them up separately if you want to switch forth. That can get interesting as they're both two different sets (healer and caster) and even the weapon is different (codex and grimoire)
oh yeah
damn
well im only levelling it because i think im gonna hit 80 on my DNC before i finish shadowbringers, im level 72 and i havent started stormblood yet
so i guess ill dungeon run on SCH and then use summoner when my DNC caps so im not wasting xp
just get SMN gear when i need
Honestly though SCH has healer queue on its side, so unless it's a really dead part of the day you can mostly do highest level dungeon back to back and get leveled up quickly (though you also have to make sure you gear up properly so your healing is up to par)
stormblood is 60-70 right?
yeah ill probably do that
though im dreading levelling up another dps job
Yes, though even if you hit 70 you'll probably have some of the MSQ to deal with
Which, you need that to get through at least the .0 stormblood storyline so you can enable the scaeven gear NPCs (which is the level 70 poetics gear)
yeah i seem to remember people sayig the vendor was north of the starting village or smth
It's part of Ralgar's Reach
thats the one

hi guys big noob question but i just finished the realm reborn scholar quests and now alka zolka doesnt have the heavensward job quest for lvl 50? do i have to get to heavensward in the MSQ first to unlock the job quests?
Yep, have to be in heavensward to get heavensward job quests
To add on to that the same is true for the other expansions as well
so is soloing a level 47 dungeon as a 72 DNC possible?
i dont know how you turn off level sync though
the quest says it needs to be from duty finder though
Should be fine
If you're in duty finder window, select the gear icon in the upper left
There's an option for "Undersized Party", select that
This will let you solo dungeons which support that setting
Just be sure to go back and disable it when you're done or you won't be able to select things like roulettes
guys for the coming back event people needs necessary to be my friend to do the event?
you can only invite someone back through the friendlist, so yes
daaamn, feelsbad. Thank you!
Hello, is there a way to grind poetics really fast? I know to do dailies but after that? Trying to do the animos weapons x.x
I'd really like to change my e-mail through the MogStation, but I never get the confirmation even though it says it's been sent. It's not in any spam folder, I've added Square's mailing addresses to my address book just in case, and it's just a Gmail account so it's not something weird. I've tried this multiple times and I'd really like to know if there's anything else I can try before contacting Square Enix since it's a very involved process
good evening, how does glamour plate work? i made some glamor on my armor and i was thinking i could sae it it these slots so later i can re apply it but i cant figure it out
@neon sky imo it's quicker to just contact them through the chat support and ask them to change it <:
but you have to put gear into the chest first.
my in in gridania / crystarium?
Any Inn
ok so i out there things i like to wear as glamour
and then i click on plate and it applies it ?
Only if you want to "store" or build them with glamour plates. It requires a glamour per item to put it into the chest.
do i need one glamoru to apply it too
One you put a plate together, you can always reapply it for free in the main cities.
oh ok, so i make a plate at my inn and pay glamour
and apply when i want
i went at it backwards, tanks
you can only apply in cities though sadly
wish you could change wherever, i dont see why not
Of all the tank jobs, which one has the most self-sustain/solo capability?
i believe paladin is mentioned a lot for that, but theres nothing in the game that needs to be soloed thats difficult
I've been debating doing older maps, but alone, like level 60/70 8 man ones, and when I last tried one that popped in Yanxia, I would have died on my MCH, so I was looking for a job that can better solo those.

where 2 find a fc to join
r/ffxivrecruitment, recruitment channels here, ingame PF, city shouts, novice network
Probably a really stupid question but when I put XIV into borderless window mode my FPS drops to like
20 FPS. I never had the issue before and I'm not sure how to fix it
Make sure resolution still matches native?
Okay second really stupid question (I'm bad with computers)
I forgot what my resolution is
Hey there, my fc and i have been trying to spawn the Foxy Lady fate for a few hours today, unsuccesful so far after doing the 2 requisites a few times, so thought i'll ask for more help since as it may interest other people to get the rewards. Any help would be much appreciated, we're on Louisoix. Lemme know if you see or manage to spawn it on any Chaos server. Thank you ❤️
I'd ping chaos role for it but im kinda reluctant, is it ok if i do ?
Sorry @wintry chasm its display settings
ok thought so 🙂
Also if you want to be called out when it pops join a hunt linkshell in your server/data center
It'd be really helpful. They keep track of stuff like that
hi, newbie here, what class is appropriate for someone looking to be a support / healer?
Conjurer?
or you can play arcanist which starts as a DPS but can unlock Scholar which is healer
One of those two
The other healer you have to get to Heavensward to unlock
Which is the first expansion
yes you have to get to level 30 as an arcanist and do do your class quests/get a certain amount in main story
ah ok
i regret not starting with arcanist tbh
but go with what you like
you can learn all the jobs youl ike
Arcanist/Scholar as an added bonus of also being able to unlock Summoner which is a DPS
oh awesome
I completed the novus stage of my relic weapon, how do I get a replica of it? Or do I have to fully complete the relic in order to buy a replica of this stage?
If it's available you buy it from a calamity salvager
I see, many thanks
so to recruit new members to my squadron, i just do anything from the challenge log?
You have a chance of getting a new recruit
You can only get a replica for the zodiac weapon after completing the whole thing
pretty much @indigo orbit
right so just do anything and ill have a chance
I see, thanks @obsidian patio
does it have to be a specific category of challenge?
Nope
sorry 😅
Also you need to keep the original weapon to get replicas unless you exchange the weapon to get the thingies needed for the first step of an anima weapon
I get them all the time from gold saucer challenges
Only zodiac is like this, Anima and Eureka weapons simply need you to be past the step you want a replica of
(I think Anima wants i230 or i240 step done to let you buy replicas though)

Can I make the sit command sit in a certain position?
without swapping through them all after sitting?
It should remember the last pose you used
It just takes a second for your character to go to that pose
Oh I seee
Is the firebird still obtainable?
yes
are gates at the saucer every hour?
They change every 20 minutes
oh cool ty
Where can I get any black die?
For the fashion report 80% thing
The big city market stalls only have the other colors
marketboard
Pretty sure not, you should be able to interact with the marketboard in the city state marketplaces
I seem to be accumulating items in my inventory. Most of them are for crafting, I think. What should I do with them?
If it has a “Shop Selling Price” listed you can safely discard it since that means you can buy it from a vendor
Otherwise try having your retainer sell it on the marketboard
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
I haven't looked into retainers, but I don't think I can use the marketboard as I'm still on the trial.
Awesome thanks! Will look into that
You'd be right Digital
I mean, you said that right before I asked, lol
The only way you can get that dye then is by doing the Ixal beast tribe quests and buying it from their vendor (need a fairly high rank) or by simply crafting
(Which you also can’t do as unlocking the Ixal requires level 40-something MSQ)
Well there is one last easy way
Second Question: What's the best/recommended way to buy the full game?
Which is this quest https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/A_Porcine_Plight
Where did you get the free trial Digital?
Downloaded it from the website (not Steam, which is what I think you're asking)
Right then you can buy it from Steam or Non-Steam. I can't really think of any recommended things besides the distinction between the two. Once you're in one you're locked into it and the general opinion is that Non-Steam is less hassle?
but going Steam does allow you to use your Steam wallet
if you value that
I'm going to make some guesses here.
Shadowbringers is $40, but probably doesn't include the base game or prior expansions.
Shadowbringers is all the expansions but no base game
Complete Edition is $60, but has everything.
That one is correct
FFXIV bundles the older expansions in with the new one

I think I actually have a Twitch code for ARR somewhere...
Maybe that was just 30 days
I wouldn't be surprised if that was expired and I'm pretty sure I know what you are on about
That would have been the base game
Yes, it was a code for the base game and 30 days, and I found it. But no idea if/when it would have expired.
Well, I guess I can just try it later, and if it works, cool, buy Shadowbringers for $40. If it doesn't, buy Complete for $60.
If you buy shadowbringers you get all the previous DLC right?
Yes
Sweet, cheers mate.
Nope,
You’ll have to pay attention to the debuffs on the target
Though your debuffs will always be first
flight
there's a bridge a bit south east where you can climb up
I'm assuming you're actually at the top of the island so yeah you'd need flight to access that part of the castle
figures
I have like 5 currents left, shouldn't be too bad
is there a nightmare mount equivalent for HW
Anyone know what a best in slot for gunbreaker is?
the birds
@novel bluff https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1A85Z
i just did 99 runs of sophia for her mount and im finally ready for phoenix
im glad ill never have to run hw trials again lol

Does dancer have any level 60 glowing weapon? Like crafted primals or anima
no
Tks
for my squadron, should i just recruit everyone i get at first?
Yeah
The important thing is the class they are
Which you can change pretty easily
just unlocked the savage versions of alexander but it’s only showing a1s to a4s and not the rest 
@glad pewter POTD or HoH weapon, I am fairly sure DNC has at least one of them
You have to unlock each set separately Green Mario
All the same NPC though
question, if i plant seeds in a pot, do i get seeds when i harvest or I need to find more seeds to replant.
you'd need to get more seeds to replant

I'm trying to hunt down an item from the 2017 amazon promo, the eastern journey battle staff I discarded it at some point. Can you get it back from the Calamity Salvager?
Is it possible to outright disable hotbar 1's ability to switch between hotbars?
Nope. :/ @dense kelp
I actually found it
thank you for answering it though!
@surreal rock pretty sure not, though you can ‘cheat’ the system by not using the first hotbar for your skills
You’ll still need it around for mounts with special actions though and a few other things
blegh, oh well
so, I asked because it was causing me significant problems - I had everything on hotbar 1 memorized so I made it invisible, but then it cycled somehow and caused a terribly weird issue where my hotbar 1 hotkeys were activating my (visible) hotbar 2, and it took me ages to figure out
I later discovered that my hotbar 1 cycle hotkeys were stupidly easy to press on accident - I'd set them very early on, so I didn't even know what they were lol
it's all good now, thanks for letting me know I'll need it later
You could also unbind the cycle hot bars keybinds
They’re in the system section of keybinds
yep, that's what I did
Is there any way to get the outfits on the mog station without using rl $
I have a question about chocobo companions, is stabling them then feeding them once every hour the same as fighting with them, as in they are both just ways to gain exp?
Yup but you have to fight with them at 100% exp to level up
So you can go 99% of the way via feeding, then finish off with fighting or just fight the whole way?
Either way works
hey everyone i have a quick question regarding the ordering process i just bought the ffxiv complete online edition on SE but the order is still processing does this usually take a long time?
it's been 30 minutes
But they need to fight something when the bar is full to level up
@frail jewel I haven’t ordered from the SE store myself, but I hear most people say it can take an hour or two. If it goes past 24 hours then contact customer service
ah ok gotcha thank you so much!
Keep in mind as well that this is a holiday weekend in the US (MLK Day is tomorrow).
So that might affect timing.
ok! Imma wait got a while longer and see if it gets resolved
Hi guys so I just install the launched and Im getting 'a system error has occurred: -2146697211 HTTPS System error. I've searched online and nothing worked, heres the list of thing i have done:
- reinstall/uninstall.
- change dns to google public dns
- traced frontier.ffxiv.com and connection worked.
- flashed my dns
- enable ssl 1.2 but i cannot find tls 2.0
- enlist ffxiv and frontier.ffxiv as trusted site.
- tried enable and disable firewall.
and nothing worked..... 😦
clearing IE cache does also not work?
just tried, not working...
which would you say is better?
Ironworks. You can upgrade ironworks too.
Does leaving a command mission or cancelling it after the start duty popup count towards the duty leaver penalty count?
It shouldn't since it should count as a premade

Though i've never actually tried it
I think i got hit by it once and thinking its dumb but that was ages ago and i could be misremembering.
it's fine, I dipped out of command missions all the time when I was doing them
Cool. Is there a way to see if doing a thing has given a duty leaver penalty?
Not without testing it yourself
But generally if you search for other players then leave, you'll get the penalty
Undersized not often
It's just not clear what CMs count as, if anything - is it a "preformed party" with AI? Am I alone? Well, I've just quit one and not had a 30-min penalty preventing me from queueing for other things, so that seems to answer that.
do all mounts move at the same speed?
For the most part, yes.
The SDS Fenrir bike from the mogstation moves as if it already has the first speed boost for the zone which is typically from completing the story.
ah
anyone know if we will get free days lol im broke af and dont have a job so cant play lmao
They just had a free days event so not for awhile
welllll shit
Nope, only the MSQ speed buff
what do you do with the 'faded' copies of torn music sheets or whatever . ive found a few of them now
an ALC can use them as raw materials to craft proper orchestrion rolls. If you dont have a ALC or are not interested, you can sell them on the MarketBoard
most of them aren't worth much so you can sell them to an NPC vendor or just toss them
gotcha, thx

Does anyone know why I can still see my DNC skills even tho Im on whm? and how to fix it
You probably have that hotbar set to shared
Is that in Character Config?
Ye
Is there any way to keep track or show the dots I apply and differentiate it from the same dot from another party member?
Mmk, I just gave Niddy the ultimate fuck you so how many quests roughly do I have before I get to 4.0? I forget the number from 3.0-the start of 4.0.
Your dots, assuming they're within the 30 show limit, are always the first ones
dots you apply have the countdown timer in green. there is an option somewhere to make it the first ones to show on the mob
no, the option is to make it only show your dots
oh? oops
@crude relic Did you just complete ||The Aery||?
Nah, It was ||The Final Steps of Faith||.
Where is the option to only show my dots and not others?
And I have 3.4 left or is there a 3.5? I forget XD
there's a 3.5
Mmk, so roughly 20-30 more quests then?
21~
Gotcha
@cold scarab
Something to keep in mind however is that mobs can only have up to 30 debuffs show up at a time, so even with that option ticked, if there are 30+ it won't show yours
You really only run into the debuffs limit for Eureka and big boss fates nowadays
Since a lot of surplus debuffs and damage over time moves got removed in shadowbringers.
@twilit arch Thanks
As a samurai, I assume I'll be stuck using augmented ironworks katana until I get to heavensward content in the MSQ?
Yeah but luckily you don't need anything better
fair enough

hey, is the upcoming treasure trove event going to be similar to the previous event where you spam PvP to get the most out of the coins?
so im on a different job trying to cast a glamour, but my neck piece wont apply the glamour even though i should be able to equip it
any ideas?
the glam item is probably higher level than the actual piece you have equipped
yeah
equip level
There are a few cases where a piece of equipment is lower item level but higher level to equip than something else
what's an efficient way to farm light for a zodiac relic?
does perception matter for retainers in DoL
nope
@sinful nacelle Tam-Tara Deepcroft normal, Ifrit Normal, and Turn 4 of the binding coil of the bahamut are the fastest methods
Undersized, of course
@frank wigeon I think in terms of time spent to tokens received Praetorium, Castrum, and maybe the 24-mans are your best bet.
@obsidian patio many thanks
is there a way to buy less than max quantity on mb
Sellers deciding the quantity they want to sell in is a designed part of the market.
E.g. selling in bulk for a discount, selling individually for a bit more, figuring out what quantities players are likely to want things in.
pros/cons
i think gw2 has had the best auction house/marketplace
as a buyer anyway
i got some "antique" gear from a dungeon, what do i do with it?
It is exchangeable for ilvl 90 level 50 job artefact gear—the same kind you get from the coffer rewards by your level 50 job quest.
ah
spriggan is on chaos right? not light?
it's on chaos, yes

did the +1 retainer bonus stop for using companion app
you have to sub to the companion app to get the extra retainer
Does anyone know the current spawn rate for portals in regards to timeworn zonureskin maps?
Trying to find the original reddit post for this
@leaden ginkgo Can't say, though from personal it feels like 20-25% chance
Does the number of people running maps dictate the spawn rate for Lhye Ghiah?
Could've swore I saw a thread on it
no
When the Aquapolis (HW map dungeons) were first released, dev comments indicated that it was a 50% chance. There have been multiple times since then where people have asserted that the portal rate was changed or nerfed with a patch at some point
Its a flat 50/50
However from my experience with maps in SB and ShB it still feels like 50-50 is accurate.
How to get the emperor's new set?
either buy off the marketboard or level a crafter (that's not cul) to 15 and do the quest "Absolutely glamourous" to be able to buy it from tataroga in mor dhona or goberin in vesper bay
Said quest is located in Vesper Bay
Oh cool, thanks
Do you need to have a retainer?
How do I get one?
!faq retainer
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 (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
I'm confused, I thought FF14 was free until level 35
But it's saying that I can't play without a code?
Oh
It is
Make sure you download the trial launcher
The free trial is accessed separately
OHHH
!faq gotrial
👌
What level should I discard my shire gear?
When you get gear that’s better than it (though you may want to keep it for alt jobs)
You’re likely to first begin to obtain gear better than it at level 64–65
From dungeons?
64 HQ crafted gear from MSQ (though you may want to use this free gear for other jobs or sell it since it’s not considerably better than augmented shire)
65 gear from 65 dungeon.
Oh, augment your shire if you have leftover poetics and you haven’t yet.
so in sb u can do dutys with npc parties?
how good is that?.
based on experience does anyone know the greatest way to get moogles with the treasure trove in 9 hours? PvP or Pve raid etc. thank you very much
is there a way to center an element on the x axis on the hud layout menu
I think Shift and Control make the UI element move on the grid?
can't remember the exact difference between them
ohh i just noticed theres a thin white line in the center
i never saw that before
shift seems to snap to grid
control isnt doing anything tho
might've been alt then
will anyone else ever see your retainers?
You can stick your retainer outside your house,but other than that no
Your retainer name is on the marketboard though
ugh
whats up with this items
theyre higher ilvl but have waaaay worse stats than my augmented scaevan
set?
i gain +2 magic damage but i lose like 100 crit and direct hit
What item?
its just a 406 weapon vs my 400 augmented scaevan
1 weapon damage is worth at least 100 crit/DH, prolly more
406 weapon would be better if its HQ
its one from qitana ravel
even though i lose all that crit and stuff
[11:10 PM] sade: 1 weapon damage is worth at least 100 crit/DH, prolly more
Yes
Ehhh
weapon damage >>>>> main stat >>>>>> all substatas
also it's not like the qitana weapon is only main stat and weapon damage
it has secondary stats too
wat about armor
Armour is the same
whats the main stat u guys refer to
and armor is main stat >> substats
no
main stats are str, dex, int and mind
armor is the same for all pieces of the same level, you're never specifically chasing armor
so should i upgrade armor based on ilvl
for the most part, yeah
i know theres differences in set
depending if u want more of 1 sub stat
BiS stuff
min-maxing secondary stats is a marginal increase in damage for the most part
You don't care about BiS until you're at the cap
And even then you only care if you're raiding
Hi all. Idk if this is the right place to ask but I really need help
Whats the problem?
I’m kinda embarassed to ask for this favor but here goes. I’m trying to speed run the whole heavensward alliance raid. Long story short, I’m trying to at least unlock dun scaith for glamour purposes. I story boosted so I have most side contents locked. I barely have time to play the game and whenever I’m on, queues for alliance raid take hours, and I mostly play late nights PT, which really doesnt help ☹️ That being said, I’m trying to recruit at least enough people to do the questline unsynced.
I would also ask in #retired-na-datacenters
Thank you so much! I’ll try!!
theres a leveling guide that says i would regret not doing all my class hunting logs, why would i regret it?

sounds outdated.
You won't
though it is pretty decent experience for the first 20-30 levels
and it's nice to do between queues
You should 100% do the GC hunting log though
alright thanks, glad i dont have to go back and do those
what city do u get the 430 stuff
ilevel 430
isnt there a coffer or something u get
you get your level 80 Job gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest
Assuming you got far enough in main story and did your role quests for that role
Do main story
ok ok
You literally won't be able to do this until level 80 main story
whats the best way to train ur sqadron?
highest mission level that they can do
You train them for the stats you need
I have mine all-round but you can always adjust it on the fly for what the mission wants
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
there's a simulator somewhere that shows optimal trainings to do so you can reach the ideal stats for a mission
"it is advised that you first improve your squadron members' individual attributes as much as possible before attempting a deployment."
the attributes are what u get from that right
yep
but u can do individual people that way
it's basically saying to cap the trainings before doing missions
Manage your squadron and find automatically the best combinations for the hardest missions.
(just ignore the promo thing that pops up)
ok another random question
how the fuck do hit stuff in frontlines lol
i feel like as a smn people are always out of range
and if i get close i die
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I rarely PVP
I recommend asking in #archived-player-vs-player or the discord pinned in that channel for PVP-specific advice
whats mission affinity on that site u sent me @obsidian patio
what class/race chemistries it boosts
makes them more powerful or like 100% chance to happen
Hey, totally out of the blue question. How does adaptation work in Eureka, and How does one trigger adaptation on a frozen void dragon in pagos?
technically cal, you can get your role quest gear at level 79 MSQ
with the weird hackjob of needing to complete a level 80 sidequest first >_>
where do i check that
@reef blade https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1skE-QMeOdrN1591YBupl7FwR3-oZPqs9eZLMUloz4iE/edit#gid=374416592
Frozen Void Dragon can adapt pretty much any time except at night in snow, according to this
can you die from falling
