lol yeah
im actually considering taking a DPS class beyond my WHM to lead the story and then level WHM purely on dungeons
if you juggle the MSQ quests properly you can keep at least two, possibly 3 jobs at your MSQ level. You might not be able to keep them all at the same gear level without doing sidequests/crafting/buying from npc vendors though
yeah thats true but you can always swap to your "main" for those
Hi, I stopped playing at lv 50 (finished ARR story) a few months ago
and thinking to come back
How is pvp doing in this days or still dead? and story really become better after ARR?
PvP is usually active during the afternoon for frontlines
There's also irregular tomestones as a reward for rival wings at the moment
Hi. I started the game recently. I'm still on free trial but I'm definitely going to buy the game.
The thing is, I'm already lvl 27 but my friend, who's also going to start playing is lvl 1. I'm willing to create a new char and play with him to the point that he's lvl 27, so that we can keep playing together but I'll switch to my first toon. However, I'm only allowed to create one character on a world as a free trial. Is there any way around this? What do you offer? We're going to recruit each other after we reach level cap of 35 on free trial. Thanks in advance.
just use the armory system and start leveling a new class
You have all the features up to level 35 so take advantage of that
thanks
im not sure if you can recruit each other
pretty sure you can't recruit until you actually pay for a sub
i tried that with my friend and only the initial recruiter got the rewards]
(not the 30 free play days)
i recreuited and got the initial rewards and im still not charged
just none of the X days ones
I was told that we can recruit each other after we buy the game (a realm reborn) and we can only during that period of 30 days that come with it
you can only use recruit code before you pay
but i think once you recruit someone you cant use the code for yourself
How often SE release patch?
roughly every 3 mos
depends on which patch you're talking about
5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and so
roughly every 3 mos or so
oh thanks
and they give enough content until next one?
no
whats the general length of time a server is preferred
well yes but no depending on your playstyle
@upbeat storm depends on the server
NA switches pretty regularly
other servers usually only change per patch
expected time famfrit has laeft
If I switch classes and level together, I'd miss the MSQs. Would that make a huge change on level?
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
@upbeat storm no clue because crystal servers switch the most and least often
See: Balmung being congested for like 3 patches straight
(not literally but you get my point)
wait uh
thanks for help
is there a general list of what items are used/ in demand
i know it varies between servers but a general list would help
tomestone items (multifaceted stuff), most HQ 450 crafted gears, aethersand, sublime solution
Materia
(crafter control materia especially)
A question regaring the question of StaveMan:
Seeing that Mateus is currently congested, when would be the time that a change "might" occur? Like... every 3 months?
it usually happens around a maintenance
so a major or minor patch can possible bring server changes
Is there an official place that I can read about following changes or maintenance times?
if im playing with another summoner/scholar how can I tell who's bio is on the enemy?
Thanks
Your personal status effects have green text
ok thanks
Do note the first ones isnt always true
I've had times where mine never appeared
(namely on alliance bosses)
its only not true if there's more than 30 dots already on the boss
therefore it won't show up on the visual limit
ah that explains why
do people usually buy glamour prisms in 99 stacks
so theres no point in going lower stacks
not really besides being cheap but most of the time most easy to get items always come in large quantities
i mean i would look at history
but its mostly 99 being sold and bought
the other stack values are higher price so people arent buying
could list a stack of 10 at a lower price value and see how fast it sells
yep that sounds about right
Is there anything I can do to save space because I do a lot of glamour stuff and I keep armor pieces just for that but they clog up my inventory a lot
isnt there a chest at the inn
you can buy white stuff right
glamour drawer
retainers
What white stuff
There's white dye
There's white scrips
you dont need to hold on to white gear, cuz its available at vendor
That depends entirely on if it has a shop selling price
Some of it is only crafted sometimes

when i level up inside a duty roulette,does my reward increase with the level or should i level up before queueing?
@leaden ginkgo afaik, you're getting a % so i don't really think its worth worrying about making sure you've leveled up before you do your roulette. just queue up and quest as normal
hi, i am new here and i have a lot of questions :3 someone can tell me how i can change my free trial on normal payment version of the game?
1: buy the normal or complete edition of the game on the SE store or steam if you want the steam version
2: redeem the key on Mogstation after you get it
!faq Mogstation
i dont want steam version ;x
Then buy the game off the SE store, Amazon, or Humble Bundle
can i but it in game store or something?
there is no ingame store
U need the steam version to get the dlc from steam
but i need uploade the game again?
what?
it was 7 hours and i dont want make it again xd
hwen i will buy normal wersion
to log in
You'll have to get the full launcher I'm fairly sure
The trial launcher the full launcher are separate
๐ฆ
ohh damnt
so i have to wait with that to weekend, then i will get better internet connection
can i contunue my character from free trial or i have to start from beggining?
You can use the same character
thats fine
In the meantime you can work on raising other jobs to 35 if you want
but i cant talk with people now
thats make me sad ๐
i have a lot of questions but i cant ask anyone in game
thats why i was looking for helk in internet and find this discord
help*
i have 16 lvl already but i am not sure what i schould to do
i delete my run button and i dont know where i can find this options xd
In the actions menu there should be a general section
Best way to lv retainers?
oh god i was walking from 3th lvl! thank you so much!
quick ventures followed by your highest level 18 hour venture
No, not quick ventures
how is Best way to lv retainers?
send them out on the hunting/gathering missions
i am doing all missions now ๐
Does it matter what I send retainers to gather
send them out on the highest level gathering/hunting mission
@vocal vigil, the trial and the ful version does actually share the same launcher.
I discovered it when i needed to make a new user account on my PC.
The launcher does regconize which version you play, so you just can use launcher that you use now.
send them out on the hour, every hour you're on and then when you log off for the night send them out on the highest 18hr mission
but i dont have steam version now, so where i should buy normal one?
Do retainers eventually pay for themselves in terms of the tokens?
SE store, Amazon, or Humble Bundle
Any third party retailer sells the regular PC key
Only place to get a steam key is off steam
yeah, getting venture tokens isn't really that hard/expensive at max level
can easily cap out just running expert dungeons to cap tomestones
where is different between cheap key or this expensive one?
the starter edition is commonly 20 dollars/euros
Make sure you purchase the right region key
NA, EU and other regions, or JP
the "expensive" key is probably the complete edition which included shadowbringers
^ please be specific
(which also comes with all the expansions)
There are 3 codes. One is the base game (the starter edition), one is Shadowbringers which is all the expansions (getting both of these gets you everything for the game.)
The last one is the complete edition which is both of those in one which Industrial mentioned
but i need this to play?
thats good one?
Again
There are 3 codes. One is the base game (the starter edition), one is Shadowbringers which is all the expansions (getting both of these gets you everything for the game.)
The last one is the complete edition which is both of those in one which Industrial mentioned
considering leveling multiple classes - can anyone tell me if all casters share gear? white mage, black mage, scholar, summoner, etc
woops lol early send
Your two options are get the base game after the free trial and buy Shadowbringers at a later date or just buy the complete edition and buy both
DPS magic jobs share the same gear
Healers share the same gear
okay, no overlap tho?
not after 50
Not after ARR
oh ok. thats useful actually because im trying to grind through ARR MSQ with multiple
Once you hit 50 you'll start getting gear that's "Of Casting" or "Of Healing"
so i could do magic dps and then just heal whenever i want
cool cool
you guys are the best, thank you
I mean you can deal damage as a healer
You'd need the healing class/job's weapon but sure
im already WHM, i am just considering a magic dps
Looking to pick up a healer or tank job, what would you say is the easiest for a new-ish player
WHM is the most straightforward healer
I have to buy it every month?
paladin
Any really. Just don't pick one that starts at a higher level and try doing those higher level fights without actually practising
Alternatively, you can buy the standard sub in up to 180 day increments at a time
Other than that none of them are actually all that difficult to learn
Alright
I'll look up what the differences between them all are and see what looks to most fun
GNB has a lot of buttons to press more than other tanks but it's not really difficult
paladin has clemency, which is a very strong heal, so you can tank and heal :D
so if i want have a full wersion of the game, this Shadowbringers, i have to pay 35$ every month?
no
No
sub is only up to 15 dollars a month
Sub is like 15-month
there is a basic sub
down to 13 dollars a month
thats price of starter
unless there's a sale going on somewhere we're always talking regular price
would anyone be able to help me with some lore questions?
#archived-lore-spoilers @shell dagger
is where I'd ask but sure
no, i'm not going in there. i'm too worried about shadowbringers spoilers
Still sub time is always static
or else i would've done so already
Spoiler tag and ask here Arienne
recent conversation isn't shb related
There's never a sale on sub time
thanks.
That's why #587202965878865920 exists
no
No #587202965878865920 is dead and it's archived
#587202965878865920 has been archived
O lul
that was for the start of the expac
but on sc store its 9,99$ ?
so is fate badges based on individual position or group? I keep getting gold even though I join a fate half way through. I can't be #1 can I?
Because it's on sale probably
if you're getting gold, then you did enough dmg to get gold
^
its not necessarily that you're #1
@dry glade the medals are always personal ratings
There's no competition in pve content
Only personal performance
well, yes and no
being in a group can get you gold even if all you did was hit it once
another question, sorry. how does this work for arcanist/summoner/scholar? are all 3 really shared? "Level is shared between job and primary class once that job is unlocked. For example, if you level a Summoner to 40, then swap over to its base class (Arcanist), the latter will also be at level 40. Both the primary class and its respective job will always be the same level, regardless of which you play as."
ok, that makes more sense then. I was thinking it was ranking vs other players. But I didn't see how I was getting gold.
so long as the group as a whole did enough
yeah fuck, i pressed enter too soon
Yes @visual flame
hold on ๐
you gain arcanist experience anytime you're on ACN, SCH or SMN
yeah
Yes
I never play my sch but my sch is ranked the same as my sum.
this game rules
you will still have to do the other's job quests before you can really play it
just make sure you've got gear for the opposite
But do remember to do job quests for both of those jobs so you get all the skills
and do the job quests
gotcha
and yeah, separate kind of gear for caster DPS vs. healer
makes sense
where is diffrence between pc or pc download? i dont know chich i should buy
makes sense ๐ THANKS
If you want the physical goodies get PC and wait. If you want to play now and can live without the toys, download.
(you guys are so awesome at answering questions and im bored at work so im just gonna keep going)
ok, so here's my question, and here's where i'm at -- ||just finished that scene in heavensward epilogue, where the warriors of darkness met up with the warriors of light, and it was revealed that urianger had been two timing the warriors of darkness to do something. now this is where i'm confused... what did urianger do exactly? he planned minfilia's death to save "the first"? what is the first? this second world of hydaelyn? i did some googling and hydaelyn = "the source". and "the first" is a world in "the source". so what is eorzea/etc on? i haven't gone further down the story than this, but i do know - from some googling - that "the first" was once sort of balanced by light/dark, but now there's too much light, which is why the warriors of darkness is called as such. and then later on in shadowbringers, the warrior of light goes and bring some darkness back to "the first" i guess?? idk||
should i be saving all $$ as a new player? i basically only use it for teleport
that was really long haha
@visual flame just teleport
It's notoriously bad with lore
The cost becomes really insignificant
Give me a bit to write out an answer though
thank you!! ๐
@crystal bluff thats what i figured. i didnt know if there was anything worth buying for an early boost. my money is just piling up and i dont notice lol
Most good gear comes from crafting and dungeon drops I think anyways

Good gear is tomestone gear. ๐
the best gear is always the stuff you buy with tomestones or from the raid
Crafted gear is meant to act as a quick boost/stepping stone on the way to Tome and Raid gear
I found some "sky rat" gear on the marketplace for like 20k total and it was like 3x better than the stuff I was wearing lol
well that's leveling gear
which mostly means your gear was outdated
Sky Rat is level 60 gear
the level 60 tome set, Shire gear, is even better
I had augmented ironworks stuff on.
When do I start getting the level 60 tomes? I assume when I get to heavensward content?
^ yes
||You basically got the jist of what Urianger did. He knew that Minfilia went to the lifestream where she got picked up by Hydaelyn (the crystal not the world for absolute clarity) so that she can act as an agent of Her will. Using this information, the next part of his plan was to set up the fight between you and the Warrior's of Darkness so that you can give your crystals up to Hydaelyn so she can get enough strength to send Minfillia to The First so she can save it from the flood of light that is obliterating it. As to what the First is (and what Industrial accidentally said without spoiler tags, is another world. You would have heard from Minfilia/Hydaelyn already that the world was split into 14 after she beat Zodiark. The First is one of those "shards." For clarity again that's 13 shards and our world "The Source." I won't get into Shadowbringers stuff because spoilers but yes the whole point the Warrior's of Darkness came here was to cause a calamity on the Source so that their world can be rejoined to the Source. It'd kill everyone on The First but at least their aether would go back to the lifestream and in a weird twisted way they'd live on. If their world was to be entirely consumed by the light then nothing would exist anymore basically. No living on whatsoever no matter how you twist it. Also for the cause of the flood. Arbert mentions it was kinda their fault for being too good at their job and beating the ascians in The First|| @shell dagger
poetics are the "all old content" tomestone for 50, 60 and 0
50 60 and 70 share tomes
70**
poetics are used for all old content endgame gear
jesus, cal
Ohh
writing a goddamn thesis in noob chat
I'll have to take a look at the tome store when I log on
Do note that each zone correlated to each exapsnio
so mor dhona = 50
Idllyshire = 60
Ohh
And Rhaglr's Reach for 70
Good thing I'm almost done ARR
yes
i bought key but i didn recive the sms verification code
thank you for not expanding too much so you protected me from shadowbringer spoilers btw!!!!
Where did you buy it?
The key should be emailed or in your orders page if you bought it on the SE store
Square Enix store

It'll be under your orders on the SE store then
Also it takes a little while for orders on SE
as their payment processor is slow as shit
so follow up questions -- ||what is the Zodiark? is that the opposite of Hydaelyn? did Urianger orchestrate the entire falling down / destruction of the Ul'dah tunnels at the end of the ARR epilogue so he could save The First? why is The First so important anyway? why should i care basically, that some random warriors came in and basically threatened to kill me because their world is destroyed?|| or are these questions leaning too far into shadowbringers spoilers...
ok, how now i can upgrade my trial to tarter wersion ?:P
boo T__T
you'll just have to play the game ๐
i dont have any idea whats is Mogstation ๐
Also the in game shop for cosmetics and level/story skips
so is collective unconcious 10% damage reduction and regen for diurnal and 20% dmg reduction for noct?
||1) Yes 2) Kael made me edit my previous comments so do check back. Urianger more used the events of that and not really set it up. 3) because that's a world full of millions of people you coldhearted human being 4) Man do you blame a man trying to save their world after THEY caused it by doing what they thought was right and beating the bad guys if it only takes the death of a single person?|| @shell dagger
- LOL ๐ฆ
||Maybe not millions of people anymore||
you enter it in Mogstation
There should be a bigass "enter account upgrade code" button somewhere on top of the page
What's the command for the leveling faq again?
Do note you can't sign into the trial launcher once you enter it
There you go Vie
i have to transfer character?
no
How can I have my camera not move in a circular motion with legacy movement on?
you can set the move left/move right keys to strafe instead
ok couple last things -- ||1) so is hydaelyn a world or a goddess? spirit being?? 2) will i find out why hydaelyn and zodiark battle? or was this already mentioned and i just missed it... 3) did at any point prior to where i am now, post-dragonsong war, did they mention that hydaelyn/zodiark split this super big world into a billion pieces, or was that really a spoiler from shadowbringers?||
!faq altlvlguide
most of that is shadowbringers related, but for 3: yes it was spoken about when you visited the Antitower
@shell dagger for the last point, ||in antitower!||
am i really dumb or did i just sped through too much lore and just forgot things
@shell dagger ||hydaelyn refers to both the world and the spirit of the world, yes, it was mentioned with one of the scion conversations a while back||
easy to miss
fml i need to read slower apparently
Don't worry there's a lot of lore and people miss stuff all the time
||1) Yes 2) It gets expanded upon but in 3.2 Hydaelyn says that light and darkness dwelled as one and Zodiark (darkness) coveted more power so she banished him also yes all this world stuff was in patch 3.2||
Yes
I DID IT!
anyhow. this has been insanely helpful. thank you so much!! i'm going to take a screenshot of your earlier answer, calisaie, super helpful to refer back to
i can send message now ๐ thats awesome, i should do only main quest?
Focus main quest and job quests
The big things you should be doing (you can do more if you want but this is the general essentials) is do your main story
and do the
that aren't "So you want to be XXXX" which are class unlocks or Leves of "XXXX" which are more for crafting and gathering
You do want to do more than just your job quests in terms of 
(oh that's so cute you guys have the quest emojis on this discord...)
So many of them are helpful or flat out just cool like the ARR 24-man raid
Eq?
for summoner, egi assault 1 and 2 share the same cooldown, so why is the rotation to do it one after another?
and videos too
they don't share cds
but when i played it did D:
they both have 30s cds but using one doesn't put the other on cooldown
@vocal vigil if you mean equipment, there are vendors in every major city, as well as market boards to buy from the player market. There is also drops from dungeons etc
yeah, cos they're gcds now
so i should still do them one after another?
yes
okay ๐ thanks
thanks ๐
I remember reading something about a special chest to store glamour items, could someone tell me what its called/how to get it?
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

What is the fastest way to get moogle tomestones without BLU?
do rival wings
I've had long queue waits for RW, it's best because it doesn't care what job you are, but if no one is doing it the queue will sit for 20+ minutes
We just got a group of people together and did the alliance raids. Whiping City has been reduced to less than 30 minutes and Dun Scaith with a decent group is about 40
Idk I just go msq the short one
Those are just long because you can't skip custscenes.
Yeah there are cut scenes but people donโt wipe. You donโt even have to do a full rotation things just for
The raids and dungeons and such you can
WC has gotten a lot better, and so has Dun Scaith. Rarely have I come across a full wipe.
If you are a DPS yes it will probably be that long to queue solo
That's why I mentioned grab a few friends.
But if youโre a healer or tank Q for a raid, DPS Q for MSQ is really short
As a healer I usually get a queue pop solo in about 3-5 mintues
queue
But yeah if you can gather some friends it will go quicker naturally. People have been chucking stuff up in PF for farms and such too
was in a dung aand someone in my party was like "who used transcendence? -_-" uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh what? confused , no one said anything lol oh srry what does this mean

I havenโt seen any farms but Iโll have to check that out good info xD
aurum vale is usually fast if people know what they're doing and it gives 5 tomes, was wondering if it was the best option
i don't know that transcendence is a thing
Does it have to be blue mage? Why not a SAM too they do good aoe dps lol
I donโt know how Blue Mage works so Iโm curious
BLU can engage in a lot of shenanigans to do much more damage than a normal Job would
BLU can like one hit ko bosses so theyre sure the faster option
would you happen to have a screenshot of it, berry?
Is blue mage only viable for these types of things, I never see them ๐ค
but i didnt leveled BLU yet
blue mages can't queue with normal jobs
Ahh
they have to use Party Finder
so you wouldn't run into any unless you were actively seeking them out
Is there a place where I can see categorizations of clothes/gear by their looks? There are some cool Japanese clothes and some cool mechanical clothes but I don't know know what they are.
anyone know what pant is that?
https://www.ffxivcollection.com/ make sure to change the english at the top
Thanks
@proper junco Looks like its one of these
So I got to an quest called "good intentions" and it said I needed 3 dungeons(hard modes) to unlock
This is in post ARR
How do I complete or unlock them?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/A_Recurring_Problem this is the starting quest
is the guy in gridania the only achivement vendor?
yes
@magic vapor
You can clear Titan Hard, Garuda Hard and Ifrit Hard unsync with a level 80 player in 5 minutes.
Hi! Where is the best place to get the mats for the crafting Ishgard Restoration?
Either gather it yourself or buy from MB
If youre gonna gather it yourself you'll have to check the location on your gathering log
Its different for each mat
@rich bay nice to know. Thx
tyy kaelwryn
you don't need to have a gatherer or crafter, if you're not interested in doing either of those things
but it'll make leveling your crafters easier since you won't need to spend money to get materials
and gathering can make alright gil
Omg... so I've been buying them off the MB for no reason?
can I gather these material with a lvl 1 gatherer though?
for restoration?
you'll have to level it up, but you can start gathering restoration materials at 10 iirc
but if you want to gather materials for like the lv40 recipe, you'd need a similar leveled botanist/miner to gather those materials
like anything else, it's mostly about how much time you're willing to invest in it
Darn :/
I was trying to level my weaver all the way
Its lvl 60
and I only have the option between two items to craft and turn in atm

Hello. I was checking this site for gear appearances. I couldn't really find out the way to obtain this armor. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/fed1da22653/?hq=1
yorha 24man raid
So, will I receive this item when I complete the raid? Is it 100%
you just keep doing it until you get it to appear and you roll for it
keep in mind weekly loot lockouts are still in play
Is the percentage written on this website? Or which boss?
it's random but it's guaranteed that 2 pieces drop per boss
also take in mind the male version and female versions look different
if you click on the treasure chest, it'll show you what can drop from what boss
just keep queueing for copied factory as a tank and pass all other loot, then need it when you see it
Hey, so, I've gotten up to the post release patches of Heavensward, and if I do any more MSQ I'm going to lose it.
take a break then
Okay, but if I'm taking a break so I can come back to the exciting MSQ I'm just never going to come back.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
figure out what you're interested in
do hildibrand
hildi
msq gates your content access, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot available for you
try some old EX trials
play another job
Okay, yeah, I've done some of those and I really enjoy this game, but MSQ looming over me if I want to get further in is killing me.
games are meant to be fun, if you're not having fun then you should maybe take a step back and reevaluate how you want to play
i know msq is looming over your head, but you've got literal years of content to push through, no one says you have to do it in like a week
anyone would burn out
I clicked the treasure chest icon and there are 14 items there. Does it mean that the chance for that item to drop is 1/14? I'm kind of confused about how this works.
that's every possible drop that can come from the chest
2/14 of those will always appear
when the chest is opened 2 of the 14 is randomly rolled to appear
you then roll on it like a piece of dungeon loot
there's always 3 chests per raid, 1 after each boss
So, is it always 2/14 and nothing more or less?
yes
I'm strongly considering getting a story skip potion at this point. I took a break before to get through ARR, and took another one a while ago to play with gathering/crafting, all of which is fine but the threat of having to grind MSQ at some point is awful.
4 chests, there's 4 bosses
(There's also a bonus chest at the end of the run, but that only contains bonus cosmetic gear, the 2b coffer and orchestrion rolls.)
what to spend wolf marks on ? Does it matter ? Whats all this gear?
doesn't matter, pvp gear is cosmetic
just glam gear, get whatever you like
wolf marks are mainly for cosmetic gear
Wolf marks are for the pvp gear which is mostly used for cosmetics
you can buy gear with stats but they're all outclassed by poetic gear at their respective level
Is there a restriction on rolling other than being on right role? Or is there such a restriction?
I think you can only obtain one gear piece per week from the raid still atm
not sure
you're restricted to earning 1 pieces of gear a week
Right now you can only get one piece a week
no matter what job
buy a stormblood story skip then, though i'd reccomend finishing the HW post-patch at least till the end of 3.4, since it's important to shadowbringers msq which you can't boost through and is the best story out of all the expansions @royal moon
@royal moon then buy the skip but honestly, the msq is never going to go away. you're always going to have to do msq even at max level, tho it'll be spaced out a bit more
Oh my... That means months for a single set. Thanks
and stormblood's kinda whatever, pretty filler
its 5 pieces
actually once 5.2 comes out the loot lock is unlocked
so 5 weeks
and 5.2 is only about 4 weeks out anyways
ye and then deepshadow becomes unlocked
*phantasmagoria
i'm speaking about the gear being available but yes you right too
the tomestone is that one
Can I do the Limsa Lominsa questline if I completed Ul'dah?
short of making a new character no
the 1-15 quests? no you'd have to make a new character
I'll be considerably more okay with it being spaced out. Just, oh cool I have to go through 2 more expansions before I'm done. I'm probably going to at least watch the cutscenes, I'm actually interested in the story, but go here now go here for another 40 hours isn't okay.
remember that the patches came out 3 months apart
so you're going through a lot in a short period of time
I would advise against skipping SB since it really sets up ShB in the post 4.0 MSQs as well as possibly sets up possibly another xpac. ARR is the only MSQ I'd skip.
Can you move your character to a congested world by paying?
Okay, but do I actually need to play through SB to get that or is watching the cutscenes sufficient?
ehh the setup for 5.0 isn't thaat big
if you have a retainer that's a class and it's above level 30 will the level reset to 30 when you upgrade the class to a job?
no
coolio
only time you need to reset your retainer is if you want to change from a job to a different one
You underplay the end of SB Vis lol it's pretty significant to the overall story. And I would say play through the whole SB story cuz the SB big bad is still out there and is a threat. Plus SB is honestly pretty good IMO.
SB delves into some topics near the end that are probably going to be relevant in 6.0
As well as introduces in multiple way the big bad of 5.0 and his significance to the overall story going into 5.0.
Is there a way to change the title screen from shadowbringers to ARR?
Not that I could find, I've been wanting to change it back to HW cuz I prefer the title screen music of HW xD
The title screens should change based on the part you're in :/
I was tempted to put spoiler tags but without character names it's vague as shit ๐
I wanna say a bad word
HW=best title screen music. fite me.
That HW singing is tier 0
I prefer Answers which plays at the beginning. Also what's the best method for soloing PotD? xD
I mean you can find them on youtube and play them every time you boot up the game if you want ๐
RDM for sheer damage output or PLD for survivability
Mmk, so RDM cuz I don't like GLD and I don't have PLD unlocked xD
Trying to get a group together for The Navel Extreme. so far duty finder has had me waiting for 170 minutes
people don't queue up for extremes, especially not old ones like the ARR ones
best way of getting it done is to make a party finder group and do it unsync
I dunno were else to do so and my current FC is a bit small me an my friends run
in the wondrous tails book, when the name of the instance is blank does that mean its any in that level bracket?
or solo it yourself if you're high enough
a party finder? but that doesnt give EXP
if its unrestricted
and i dont play MMO's to 'solo'
Extremes don't give that much ex anyway
so its not like you're really losing out on anything
then dw about it for now
i will since its my quest objective
You'll finish the quest unsync
game doesn't care if you do the instance sync'd or not
how do i do a party finder?
should be under the social menu iirc to open the party finder
does Praetorium only give out a crazy amount of xp if it's part of msq roulette or can you just q for it normally?
Only from msq roulette
If you're doing an Ex Trial for XP you're gonna be disappointed with how much XP you actually get. Just saying.
mhmm
were in social? O.o
Party Finder
might be duty then, i'm not logged in so can't easily check

It's under the Party tab. Just checked.
I finally unlocked flying in the dravanian forelands and I wanted to make a party to do the dragonskin map I found. However, I've never done a map that wasn't 1 person only before so I don't know how I'm supposed to go about it (or what it will be like). Does everyone just roll on everything if we're successful? Will there be enough for everyone? If I use party finder will people be able to join even though I already deciphered the map?
I tried googling all of this but can't find any answers
sometimes special items will show up on a loot roll table thing where people need greed or pass it but most of the stuff you get is randomly assorted. Also you can make a party so long as you do it BEFORE you dig up the chest
Generally the unspoken rule of maps is if it's that person's map and the loot table thing comes up for a material the owner of the map can need the item and everyone else will pass up on it
Or greed it
Ok! That's really simple, Thank you!
Everyone else still gets a decent amount of Gil from the treasure instance if it goes deep enough, so itโs not entirely one-sided for the most part
Yeah
Do I need a full 8 man party?
I think the last coffer on the last floor straight up gives 100k Gil
Oh wow
I recommend 3 people at minimum since you still have to sync for the HW/SB treasure instances
Not really. Having a big party party is nice if you get a portal to one of the...whatever you call them but even then you don't really need all 8, maybe 5 or so.
Thank you all so very much! I really appreciate the help!
Are there items such as gear or mounts to buy with real money, other than services like appearance or world change? I couldn't find it on the website?
yeah a bunch of cosmetic stuff, it's on mogstation under additional items or whatever the tab's called
"optional items"

Hi people! I would like to create a Piano Medley dedicated to this game, and Im planing to face it by doing two/three songs from each expansion: A realm reborn, heavensward, stormbloon and shadowbringers. Could you people tell me three songs of each one of those expansions? What are the songs that Should be there? Not the ones you like the most; I mean the most representative of them. Thanks in advance!
main expansion song; answers, dragonsong, revolution, shadowbringer
Rec for shb; what angels wake me, tomorrow and tomorrow
mhm, and probably like, final boss of the expansion like ultima, ||thordan|| ||shinryu|| and ||hades||
Rec for sb; beauty's wicked wiles, wayward daughter
Rec for hw; oblivion
Rec for arr; .......... 
||Ultima Weapon thanks|| @green grail
The isgardian restoration macros only getting me about 100 collectability per craft
The first few macros only get the first/second reward tier due to how limited you are in CP and skills
@rare sable oblivion is arr 
anyone here purchase a character boost? I have questions
Whats your question?
I am fairly new and my main character is lvl 30. I am interested in 2 character boosts for the following:
- I would like too boost a completely different job, to fill a role for teammates in dungeons etc
2.The boost for my main's class to use AFTER I legitimately earn the class upgrade- but to jump to a higher level .
I do NOT want to skip the main story,or dlcs
Is this possible?Pros/cons etc. I'd like someone to help guide my thoughts
Just triple checking cause I'm not 100% confident in my results from googling, is the Swallowskin Tool Belt the highest belt for crafters?
Currently, yes @ebon kindle
Sweet
@fallen pollen
Yes. Job boosts do not effect the story at all and can be used even if youโre already the job
Ok as long as 100 is normal that's fine, just seemed too close to the minimum
I guess that's what the guide was saying: It's more time effective to do more turn ins than it is to get higher collectability for less turn ins?
hello everyone
for collectables, there's really no reason to fill the bar
so going for the bear minimum, especially when you don't have as much room to work with at low levels, is best
hi..i have a problem with password. i did Senix account to try FF,but now anytime i try to login keep say invalid password and im sure 100% i did correct
i alreay try 8 time with 2 different e-mail..is thise FF broken games?
@twin flicker can you login to your mog station account with that information?
i 1st download the game on steam, thend when was ready ask me to make Senix account and i did, make a id and password, but anytime i login say invalid password
As I level my crafting jobs, when should I go back and catch up on the job side quest chain?
are you launching the game through the steam client
yes
So far they don't seem too important. Mostly just get gear
you probably havent registered the game on mog station yet
sec show you
FINAL FANTASY XIVๅฐ็จใตใผใใน็ฎก็ใใผใธใใขใฐในใใผใทใงใณใใงใใ
I would recommend keeping apace with them in general, tbh since at 65 you'll get manipulation from the class quest and its a very strong skill @sturdy mason
Thanks @twilit arch . I've been hesitant to go back and do them since I'm leveling all 11 jobs and it's hard to keep up with all of them as it is
yeah but did you actually register your game with mog station
your square enix account isnt directly tied to mog station per say
mog station??
that thing on the left
let me see
says mog station
click it
login with your square enix id
you then need to register the steam game you just bought on there
ohh i understand now.. Ty for help @tender estuary
when you bought the game on steam it should've given you a CD key, you need to copy that into the mog station
yeah no problem
do it rn
cool
TYVM
just ping me again if you need further assistance
thx
np have fun

There's any way to remove the Chocobo's theme everytime I summon the chocobo mount? 
system configuration
It should be the first option
Note that it'll turn off music for all mounts you get though
God, you're a lifesaver.
I don't hate it, I actually love it. But having to listen to it everytime I mount will eventually make me hate it. And I absolutely don't want it
What's the best way to farm GC Seals at around lvl 50?
Why are the queues for most raids so long except for the crystal tower ones?
The binding coil isnโt in any roulette
And itโs basically savage-ish difficulty
I meant alliance raids
@cold scarab roll on dungeon gear, turn it in
People like to cheese their item level to get the crystal tower ones
Since theyโre easier
if you have crafters and gatherers, do daily turn ins
A couple of reasons. Supposedly people intentionally remove gear to lower their ilvl so theyโre ineligible for the other raids, but every time I get a CT thereโs at least one new person. So itโs most likely just a ton of people who have yet to unlock the other Alliance raids. Itโs very common recommendation for new and returning players and itโs not often suggested to unlock the other ones
Ok so if i wanted to do stuff like the sb alliance raids, then im out of luck
well, no
you'd just queue for those raids specifically, instead of relying on the roulette
@junior yacht What do you mean turn it in?
Not at all, itโll just be a longer queue time. Make sure you queue up during your Data centers Prime time to try and decrease queue times
you can turn in green- and blue- rarity gear to a guy at your GC headquarters
i forget what the officer is called but you exchange unwatned gear for GC seals
What would that prime time be for aether
evening
so, right now
it's an NA DC, so right now is when most people are home and playing
Well, the average wait time for rabanastre is more than 30 minutes according to the game
What role are you?
Tank
Yeah thatโs expected
Tanks get the longest queues for 24-mans because they only have 3 tanks in them
While it has 6 healers and 15 DPS

Ok so for 24 man raids its better to not use a tank
so once i get to heavensward i can use my poetics for level 60 gear?
ah
If by better you mean shorter queue times, ya. On average. Every now and then the stars align and itโll be quicker for a tank, but generally speaking dps will have shorter queues for Alliance raids, followed by Healer and then Tanks at dead last
can someone guide me on how to renew my sub?
Keep in mind I have no payment methods entered
Any other advice on where to farm GC seals at around lvl 50? I'm not high enough rank to turn in dungeon gear yet it seems
Do fates in Mor Dhona or the Highlands areas.
Do your grand company hunting log and complete fates near your level
more tech than in-game question. i use a DS4 on PC and want to use touchpad instead of share, but every time i open the game, it resets to the default binding, which uses share. anyone know how i might fix this? this is pretty annoying because the share button is quite out of the way, and to remap to touchpad i have to go through the entire rebinding process
Guys I have 2 characters in adamantoise
I'm trying to renew my sub for entry
But it's not letting me is it because I have 2 characters in adamantoise?
i can't imagine why that would be an issue
It is
Because it's allowing me to pay for standard but not entry
I just deleted my other character in game but it's still popping up on the website
It probably takes time for the website to process the character being deleted
The character still isn't the problem
I think it is because since both characters are under the same world (in the website), it means that this only qualifies for standard monthly renewal
So once the character I deleted is gone from the website it should allow me to pay for entry
Or so I hope
I have 10 characters across 3 worlds
I have the option
It's something else
The mogstation would never force you to pay for the extra stuff you opted for if you no longer want to pay for them
I get the option to pay for entry but when I proceed it doesn't allow me
But what is it saying
It doesn't say anything. When I choose to renew for entry, the page just reloads, as if you were to get a wrong password logging into a website.
But when I proceed with entry, it allows me to do it because it shows to characters under the same server.
Do you still have any time active?
Less than a day on the 30 day free trial
JET i saw u answer my question lollllllllllllllllllll
Are you using a certain browser? Chrome perhaps?

i have some outdated gear
Get tank gear
@little swift no
Specifically stuff that has the tank abbreviation
For their jobs
Dont worry about materia yet
theres usually like 3 options ^^
Both characters are on the website still and I just finished deleting one of them
channy helppppppppp XD
Whatever has highest defense
so dont care about sattack?
Are you looking at weapons? Whatever axe is highest ilvl will usually also have higher auto attack
What are you currently looking at for gear
Some of it is disciple of war
I need some help I have a lv 73 min and I have things I havenโt unlock yet like collectors glove and impulsive appraisal how do I unlock these thing plz help
Wear stuff that has gla pld mrd war drk gnb on its equip requirements
< ok n how often should i be replacing?
Hey guys. Anyone know where the level 80 paladin Role quest is at? And what the name of that quest is?
im lvl 46 atm
the only time you have to worry about auto attack is when you're a paladin below level 50 due to how gauge generation is tied to AA
/\
ok ๐ ty guys!
otherwise, you should be wearing your relic gear you get from the level 45 quest
and HQ gear
the level 80 one starts where the level 78 one ends
namely HQ accessories
oooooooooooooooooooooo is taht job quest
just replace whenever you can, hoping that you're not still wearing your brand new stuff at brayflox
lol no
since the only ones you can get from the vendors are very low level
yes its a job quest
oh..
the vendor stuff is better than nothing when you're at that level tbh
Can I transfer servers for free right now?
๐ please ๐ do ๐ your ๐ job ๐ quests ๐
@reef quartz it's where the last one ended
that helps a lot lmao
no free transfers not available right now
@leaden ginkgo from adamantoise no

free is only from Congested to Preferred
๐ ty channy n industrialz ^^
Idk where thatโs at. Iโve been doing MSQโs.
Smfh
check your journal
Itโs not in my journal
yes it is
are you talking about the tank role quest or the pally 80 capstone recap quest
role quests are under role quests
Disciple Of War Role Quests
the pld job quest is whereever your job mentor is last
I got a question
we might have answers :V
I need some help I have a lv 73 min and I have things I havenโt unlock yet like collectors glove and impulsive appraisal how do I unlock these thing plz help
||jenlyns is in chamber of rule in ul'dah||
mor dhona is where the collectables quest is
iirc
Huh
Iโm trying to do the quest the light of inspiration.
@reef quartz the role quest for 80 is in il mheg
is the nu mou residence
should i have marked that as a spoiler?
nah
which you would know if you checked your journal
yeah
collectables begin at 50
collectibles are unlocked at 50
it's a level 50 quest
Youโve been given the answer
Iโm in Iโl Mheg
so look at your map
Ok
Pla Enni, 
its pla enni? i think thats the aetheryte
(check your journal, it tells you the name of the guy to look for)
I just want to know if I miss something that all
Ok Iโll take a pic of my journal and the map. I donโt see anything thatโs leading me anywhere.
Iโll look that name up
if they're not there you either haven't done up to there yet and need to start role quests
Youโve missed out on collectables all this time but itโs not a biggie @brittle karma
or you accepted it and they're not there
Also weโre having two different conversations at a time here
Ok thanks
Itโs a key feature
I donโt think Iโve done current ones. I donโt have a role quest option in my journal
then it begins in crystarium
๐คฆ
@reef quartz complete->class and job quests->role quests
if he doesn't even have the option he hasn't even started them
the game literally shows you role quests
go to the bar and do the
that's not red
The game does give significant pop-ups telling you role quests are mandatory yes
literally during the tour of the Crystarium they're like "and here's where the role quests start. make sure you do them"
Jenlyn stopped giving me quests.
because jenlyn is a job quest npc
and this isn't about your job its role specific
all tanks do the same one
I may not have done any role quests then.
yeah we gathered that
do you think jenlyn can literally cross the barrier between worlds lmao
(no.)
(which is why we have role quests instead)
Under class job I donโt have a role quest option.
So go to the Crystarium tavern and pick up the quest โThe Man With Too Many Scarsโ from Granson.
go to the crystarium
you have said that a few times now
And complete the questline.
and go to the bar near the markets
and we've told you what to do
those are you "job quests" for this expansion
Thanks for that pic. Cleared things up. However wow I have nothing under that tab. Lol
Go pick up the quest I mentioned
Means you gotta start from beginning
The Man With Too Many Scars, from Granson in the Wandering Stairs, the Crystarium
On PotD floor 50 how do you not trigger the inta kill cuz we triggered that shit twice now and it's always after this one DRK fucking dies cuz he doesn't realize tanks have to do mechanics too.
Players failing mechanics lights up the runes on the floor
Donโt get hit by the aoes
just dont get hit
More runes lit up = more damage from her special attack.
If your tank is getting hit by AoEs then that is what is causing you to wipe.
Mmk, so it's the DRKs fault >.> I've done the mechanics perfectly everytime and this DRK who's been in all my floor 50 attempts KEEPS DYING >.< the salt is in my veins now
Too many runes and her special attack (I canโt recall the name) will wipe you.
Thanks for the info guys
@raven sage you were right. Website only shows 1 character right now and I still can't get renew entry
Do you have an idea as to why I can't renew my sub through entry?
Maybe try clearing your cache or something?
And it said that there was no need to renew a sub since it's still ongoing
Yes it will say that
If it at least takes you through the payment method though it'll just charge you when it's time
The only time it adds the time immediately is if you use a game time card
or I guess have no time
Did the ps4 give you a window that showed your payment method?
And does it say that you have a recurring payment on the mogstation?
No
It didn't allow me to go through even standard on the ps4
Because it told me that my sub is still going
Can you take a picture of the row that shows your remaining time and type of payment?
If you just bought the game and have the free 30 days it gives you then I'm pretty sure you can't sub again till those first 30 days are up.
That's not true at all
That's what others have said, and that's the only thing that would make sense for his issue is if the free 30 days that came with the game are still running and he can't change the sub until the free 30 days are over. Literally the only thing that makes sense with the info he's given us. Worse comes to worse Hyoh you'll need to contact SE and ask them what's up.
Are the free 30 days considered a standard sub?
I'm trying to see if it's not letting them create a recurring payments
Which wouldn't be affected
Can't send videos for some reason
Yes, the free 30 days are for the standard sub. Atleast it was when I bought the game.
@little swift yes
It;s set up
So basically just wait until sub is over then renew with entry?
Ye
Ok
That'll just resub at Standard though
Cancel the sub first
So make sure you cancel the subscription
Also, what if I'm in the middle of a dungeon and the sub ends?
it will kick you
Jusr dont be
Man wtf square
You know when its ending
Does the game give you the sub time remaining in hours?
no
No
Yeo wtf ๐
Gotta be on top of it
They're trying to scam me out an extra $2
Not really
They're pulling a fast one on me huh 
It's a test charge, just to see if the card will go through then that two dollars will be "refunded" basically.
Ahh ok
I will unsub from the free 30
Does the next estimated service fees imply that they're gonna charge $12.99 when my free 30 days are over?
As long as it's set up the way you want yes
Set it to entry
Then you can forget about it until you're ready to cancel or change something
