i trying to add subscription but i got the Error Code: i2501
i just want to play but daaam
error 2501 is an error with money transaction. the most common cause is using VPN. the most common solution is to use mobile or tablet.
if those dont work, i have no idea. you gotta contact SE support since everybody's 2501 is different
Stormy, are those the free 30 days from the starter edition?
oki
I bought the collector edition with ALL the dlcs, including the 2019 one
then created an account and entered the code

and I got a 30day then I entered my credit card to set up the entry level stuff
not the regular sub bc I really only need 1 toon and that's a bit cheaper
now I'm installing the game but I had to find the download through google
you bought it from website? or from steam?
i tought I could download it through Mog station
no it's not from steam
it's the EU website collector
is there a way to get materia gems apart from disenchanting a spiritbonded item?
ok. from what i recall, you cant buy sub time while your account is on the free 30 day. You can add sub time after your free 30 days run out.
ah okey. even tho I added the card so it should buy the time automatically after the free 30 day and the "finish your account" message is still there?
Yes star, from marketboards, lvl 80 dungeons. adventurer in need bonus, raids, roulettes, trading with scrips for DoH/DoL etc etc
and they took 1€ from my card too
great now the launcher is doing funny stuff
it says it's unable to download patch files
Hunts is probably easiest for materia
is there anyway to check the support ticket i have sent?
No, you’ll get a notification next to where moogle mail usually appears when you receive a response
ah ok
erm this is strange too, it downloads only with 1mb/s when I can download ~7mb/s normally
they will respond to my email or i have to check form the support website?
hello can someone please help, is there a way to contact support over the weekend by phone or chat? I have problems logging into my account because I didnt use it for a long time and got screwed up by the one time password thing, now I can't play the game because I am stuck
Does it matter which one i choose?
!faq grandcompany
'Which Grand Company should I choose?'
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies
'How do I get Grand Company Seals?'
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.
Pretty sure the support doesn't work weekends at all
I can't think of any way to contact them
grand company matters only slightly
once you hit a certain rank in the one you chose, you can switch
it used to matter a lot for PvP but now you can freelance and just join any team
I can switch my job at level 10 right? What happens if I do it? Will I get teleported to the region of the other job or what?
nope
When you hit level 10
you have to visit the guild
and do your level 10 class quest
but yes then you can go to all the guilds and unlock all the other classes
ohh
and then all you have to do is swap weapon to swap class
Will I get a weapon when I visit the other guild or do I have to buy it?
is there a way to unlink my ff14 purchase from steam and rebuy it again there?
You get a level 1 weapon yes
ah oke, thanks ^^
And after that I can just return to my zone and continue with story and stuff?
I...don't really get the question Rince. You want to...remove your Steam Licence and rebuy?
yes because I am locked out of my account I just want to play the weekend so I want to buy the game again and start playing
@midnight thistle all the classes level separately so if you want to unlock another class and do main story on that new class you'd need to level it up to where you can
Other than that sure
That's not going to do anything though Rince
why not? I will buy the game again to register a new account because I am locked out of my old one
registering a new account would mean starting from square one
just wait till Monday
I know but at the moment I can't wait so I am looking if there is a way to repurchase the game again on steam and register new account
any idea if that is possible
On Steam? I'm not sure
On Non-Steam sure
for real though what could you possibly do that demands you to play on the weekend?
ah okay thanks
well i have few days to relax and wont be able to play again in a very long time so I really needed some way to either play with my old acc or start a new one but it seems like I cant contact support over the weekend
I actually have a question with PC version of the game myself
I want to port my UI and hotbar settings and all that stuff from one character to another character
@wintry chasm
That is not really hard to do: all the settings are in a CHARxxxxxxxxx folder in the %userprofile%/Documents game folder, the only thing you need to know is which folder is for which character. (Look at the modify date, the game will change that date once you login with the character.)
Simply copy and paste to the contents of the folder to the folder of the other character does the trick.
Oh in documents?
Ew
Thanks
I was struggling to find where the hell those were kept
Wait
If i have a character
No never mind
Yes, it is kept there.
There is also the %localappdata% folder where some game settings are kept, but there are the main client settings stored.
Okay okay
Here is my issue
I've logged into two characters today
The ones I want to transfer one to the other
But only one shows it's date as today
In the folder itself you can see it.
(There is one file there that is kept updated by the game.)
When you change one character setting, the date changes.
The COMMON.DAT file date changes when you login to a character in the character folder.
@wintry chasm 
I can rename these folders safely right?
No, just copy paste.
If you rename the folders, the game will tell the settings were lost and need to be build up again.
You can copy-paste between them.
You said you want to transfer the UI settings right?

In what place i can find the weapon / armor dealers in gridania?
they are in old gridania
nearest aethernet is leatherworkers guild then walk up abit
or you can walk there from the main aetheryte
how long does road to 70 last?
@wintry chasm,
If you want to transfer the Hotbar and UI settings, you can copy-paste the UISAVE.DAT and the HOTBAR.DAT files from the original character folder to the character folder you want to transfer it to.
Okay
I just thought renaming this would make it hell of a lot easier lol
Hard to keep track of folders when I have 12
What happened to my game? whenever I click the shortcut it says "this app cannot be played on this PC" and when I search for the file location I get this
@thin pine 90 days after you create your character. it dissapears when you hit level 71 on a a job obviously but switching job to one lower than 70 has it come back.
another way is if the server loses preferred status.
ok idk why but my friend told me it lasted 150 hours but i wasnt sure if that was true
That is not the correct folder. @brave notch
I think you need to try to install it again, did you installed it via Steam? You need to start the game then via steam.
It lasts 90 days from character creation or until the server loses preferred status—whichever comes last.
^
ok thank you
Usually 90 days comes last from my experience
No I didn't I installed it from the website.
Everything was working fine until today
yup. sorry if it was not clear. listen to lyon
Yeah, it’s not often a server stays preferred for longer than one patch period which is usually 100–110 days ish
It should be under C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
Yes, that is the correct folder.
I have my own custom filepath under D:\games but for some reason it's been deleted, all of it
Nothing in recycle bin either
all my steam games too
@brave notch
Also check this folder: %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
%userprofile% is the C:\users\(yourusername) folder in windows.
It's as if every .exe file has been purged
You need to remove the game and reinstall it, maybe that will do the trick.
If the FF14 folder in my documents does exist your installation is corrupted.
@tender estuary need to help too now i think.
That'd fix ffxiv probably but I'd rather get to the bottom of why every
game is like this
@jade quartz I remember a year ago my friend made a character on Lich and i bought the game a day after and on my end i had Zodiark as preffered server. Yet he still had his bonuses with bonus experience til he got max level. Did they change it then?
The folder the game downloads it's patch files before installation is in the %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\downloads folder.
I think you found it already @brave notch ?
other than road to 60 becoming road to 70. i dont recall they ever changing anything about the buff.
Also i still didnt manage to find the armor/weapon dealer in gridania :C
Yea but theres only patchfiles, the update.exe doesn't work.
Every time I try to use ffxiv.exe is says
@sleek peak
You need to reinstall the game @brave notch most likely. Uninstall the game and redownload it.
And @tender estuary where are you? We need you! 
does unsynced instances scale
nope, they stay at whatever level it was previously
Hank might still be asleep. late saturday
uh like according to player count
prob still sick :<
@rich bay The log folder is quite literally the recent chat logs right?
the only instance that scales to player count that i know of is eureka and you cant unsync those so, no player count doesnt affect syncing.
@wintry chasm, i think so yes. Not sure.
Where's the mount quest in Gridania? First time choosing the twin adders.
Ah, I assume I can only pick it up after I'm formally inducted.
No point picking it up till you get the seals from completing the Grand company starting bit anyway
Thanks
you found it? nice!
hello, anyone using ghub here?
github?
oh... i use a $5 mouse
but i need to add to game to the hub, i dunno ff application
any one know which .exe file i should add?
So whats the difference between Powerful and precision hookset?
@sterile ore
The .exe that starts the game itself and you need to add is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game\ffxiv_dx11.exe
(Assuming you use the DirectX 11 default setting, like 95% does.)
@sinful nymph
Powerful is for medium tugs and large ones. (Large fish)
Precision is for the small tugs. (Tiny fish)
Small-tug fish require precision hookset; medium- and large-tug fish require powerful hookset.
Using the wrong hookset will have no effect, i.e. you’ll be eating the low catch chance debuff from using Patience.
How do I tell what tugs are which at a quick glance?
Heavy is easy, it looks and sounds like your rod is going to snap in two.
Small and medium are hard to tell apart, you’ll probably mistake one for the other a bit until you get practiced
Small is a little double-twitch
Medium is one more sustained tug and then a wobble
A certain fish will always have a certain tug.
So if you’re only going for a certain fish and you know which tug it has, you can ignore all other rugs and save your hookset GP
(Just use default catch on them I mean)
Is it worth keeping any of the random materials I've gathered through the MSQ's?
Or should I just sell them all and make room?
thank you
5.2 will have a change in that @sinful nymph , they are adding a visual notification when you catch something. (With ! marks)
Maybe it is easier to wait until 5.2 on Feb 18?
you can keep the materia and maybe the glamour dispeller. you can sell the rest of them
okay, thank you!
Where do i show the Chocobo Issunance ? Im in flame thing.
show it to the chocobokeeper. in Uldah, its directly across the adventurer's guild aethernet, next to the gate out of the city.

What are materia's for? Crafting armour / weapons?
more secondary stats, like crit, direct hit, spell/skilspeed
im pretty sure you show it to mimigun, bongus. are you on the my little chocobo quest?
@sleek peak
You followed all the steps described here?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/My_Little_Chocobo_(Immortal_Flames)
They’re gems that slot into your equipment and give stat bonuses.
how do you tell if it has a materia slot
only usefull at lvl80 before 80 its not rly needed
It’s not something you really need to bother worrying about until max level.
@sleek peak, you need to buy a Flame Chocobo Issuance first at your GC.
The green circles here are materia slots
He will respond once you have started the
My Little Chocobo (Immortal Flames) quest.
Dirk Artagnan meets Athos for the first time.
Thanks
How do I get this armor?
Get dark knight to 60
Its the level 60 DRK Artefact Armour
Sweet
damn now i feel regret choosing paladin
im still lvling my gladiator, still lvl 20 tho
Well you can't regret being paladin
since you can't even be DRK till you get to Heavensward
yeah my only hope goign for paladin now is that people say hes a good tank
All tanks are good
but no damage
Damage is fine
Paladin has like the second-highest damage among tanks potentially I think at the moment?
paladin is second out of 4 in damage, yeah
But the balance differences were quibble over are very minor compared to other MMOs on the market
Generally jobs are well-balanced
And everything is viable.
So I did a few Fates in Il Meg and I get this:
'Your efforts have restored some small measure of stability to Il Mheg.'
What does that mean?
You’ve ranked up in shared FATEs for the zone
And unlocked the bicolour gemstone vendor in Lydha Lran.
You can buy a riding map there now
You can check your progress on this in each zone under Travel -> Shared FATE
Six FATEs to unlock the first tier of a shop
Sixty more to unlock the higher tier with some unique rewards like minions, more orchestrion rolls
A barding or two
And reaching the higher rank in all six zones unlocks additional vendors in Eulmore and the Crystarium.
This is interesting to take note of.
What are some of the things people usually go for on those?
Getting everything isn’t difficult.
You’ll have ample bicolour gemstones accrued from all the FATEs needed to rank up that much.
So, you young marvelous beautiful people
I have a question
I've been playing quests with 7 more people
How am I supposed to know who is the the healer and the dps?
Healers have green icons, DPS red
and tanks blue
Thank you!
Also each job has a separate icon in that thing
This will make this run easier
is there some way im missing to get these markings for my miqo'te?
im about to feel real stupid if they've been there this whole time.
under tattoos theres only two choices. i've been wondering for the longest time where people get those marks that they have on their cheeks from.
i have these for my smugcat too tho its slightly different.
They could be a clan specific tattoo
One of the faces may not have them
or face yeah
@brave notch are you running 32 bit windows
Yeah, female cats have that baked into one of the face types, not editable
Good Morning Hank
@tender estuary nah, 64. but I reinstalled windows all together, hopefully I'm good now
where to find this orchestrion roll? https://img.thaun.dev/5fmtn.png
👀
google is useless to search
That’s not a real orchestrion roll
damn
Where is the vendor for the 70 cap equivalent of Ironworks and Shire?
Or you’ve taken a picture of the wrong element?
wrong element?
dunno
Yeah that's not the orchestrion
But there is no orchestrion track that’s called “Where to Find”
Everything in the list has a "where to find" section
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
ah right
Any other method of direct startup will no longer be available.
well
wait, i was right...
Maybe 
then you can login with steam account without via steam
I’m not sure
still, the last part of the faq does say so
you dont need to uninstall
you can just create a shortcut of the .exe file, and it will run as you arent running via steam

As part of our fraud prevention measures, we plan to implement a restricted login check process for Steam service account users.
"check process" not that good way
when did that happen Smug?
a long time ago
[Time and Date of Implementation] Aug. 29, 2019
you can just create a shortcut of the .exe file, and it will run as you arent running via steam
try adding -issteam if you are able to login with steam
i actually dont know for sure now. just try it?
works for me
trying to login with windows account w/ -issteam promts me "you dont own license"
when do you get the samurai robes / kilts for sam? and what they called?
You get one set when you unlock the job and one set after finishing the level 70 samurai quest
The set is called Antiquated Myochin IIRC
Oh yeah there is one at 80 from Grenoldt as well
are those the robes that are red?
Yeah
Gonna assume you mean
thx
!iglam Antiquated Myochin Hakama
Haori :p
Nice one
!iglam antiquated myochin haori
To dye it you have to upgrade it via Eureka
o
!item anemos myochin haori
Eureka gear.

※ Materia Slots: 5
※ Advanced Meldable: No
※ Repaired By: Weaver
※ Repair Material: Grade 7 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: Yes
※ Desynthesis: No
Dyable version
i gotta get that. how do u upgrade it via eureka?
Eureka is level 70 instanced content. You’ll have to grind up some anemos crystals and protean crystals by doing FATEs inside the instanced area, then trade them with a vendor to upgrade the gear.
thx
any way to increase the download speed above 1mb/s? it's stuck there for me, but i could download with 7mb/s everywhere else
So If i buy Shadowbringers Complete Edition Mog Station Key it wont be a problem activating Trial Account with it? It says it is ARR+Hs+SB+ShB +30 Days
That's be fine
That's all you would need for going from trial to having everything
For the sake of clarity I'd call that the complete edition and not Shadowbringers complete editon since...yeah
so long it wasn't a steam trial account all should work
Will i have to download the game again though?
Afaik the Trial launcher only works for trial accounts?
And no i got the trial from the FFXIV site not steam
will probably download another 20gb of data after u upgraded your account

Do fates In Eureka start appearing after you get to a certain point? Like elemental lvl 20
halp :c
for fates to spawn in eureka u need to kill a lot stuff
They also have certain spawn conditions such as time of day and weather
and some only spawn in some conditions like thunder, heat, ice...
thank you
can u be in a fc on another server but same DC?
okedoke
Are there any ARR drk relics?
^ it's not retroactive
How can I best lvl up my chocobo companion?
Ok
Not only exp wise but which skills
choco cure is very valuable since most jobs other than healers and paladins have crappy healing
after that attacker. tank is not very useful since your chocobo will never be able to steal aggro from you unless you take 3 minutes to kill a mob
exp wise, just keep it out with you while you're leveling
there is a useful stun in early tank tree so whether you want it is up to you
there's no real fast way to level it. however if you have access to a stable (via fc/personal house or apartment you can train it every hour

its up to you, chocobo is a decent healer/dps
You can eventually get all skills, but that's fairly expensive
I've got a question about Wildfire. Do the attacks from the Automata Queen count towards the potency increase or is just my weaponskill abilities?
just your weaponskills
Aight cool. Thanks
(Asking for a friend) can you get ARR from buying an expansion instead of buying ARR then that said expansion ?
what do i get for being lvl 20 paladin? i kinda miss the headline
The only way to get ARR is by buying either the starter edition or the complete edition. Expansions themselves do not contain ARR @leaden ginkgo
Trying to adjust my UI to a much smaller tv, and some if my hud elements are off the screen. Any way to shrink the entire UI at once so that it fits on the screen?
Or do I have to move each element individually
Also can anyone invite me to the hunt discord?
morning, all! is being a healer viable on ps4 controller? like how do i target party members?
@untold ermine You can go to system configuration, and then search for UI size, so you can change all at once
thx Jay
System config. then display settings
Hello. Can anybody plz tell me what is the name of the Weapon and the Gauntlets are and where to find them or are they a mod? Thank you.
so, um, is there a way to glitch housing stuff sideways after it is at the correct height?
I'm trying to move a table that doesn't attach to a shelf.
@faint gate not sure on the weapon but the gloves are gauntlets of the behemoth king dyed gold(or some yellow dye) it looks like
they're bought from pvp
oh the weapon looks like its Skeggiold from the Aery dungeon (lvl55)
I made the horrible decision to do Animus Books. Is there a trick to spawning the "Taken" FATE in Southern Thanalan besides waiting? If not, that's fine. I just wanna make sure I'm doing all I can.
you can try and clear out the other fates to get it to spawn
since there can only be so many fates up at a time
but other than that, nothing else you can do
kk, wasn't 100% sure that'd work, but I'll do that. Thanks!
why does each FC inactive action show up twice?
They bought 2 of the same
oh. where do you buy them? NPC or MB?
NPC, at the GC that the FC is affiliated with
second NPC from the left, purchase actions or whatever
you spend FC credits to purchase the actions
why does samurai have some skills that can't be assigned to a hotbar
how am i supposed to use them??
Hi, where do I find the pvp skills?
You use them with iaijutsu.
in the pvpprofile, can type /pvpprofile @verbal hound
@twilit arch Ty.

Can I create a macro that executes multiple macros?
Teamcraft requires 2 buttons for longer rotations
No
You have to press 2 different macros
Thanks
why do the shop mounts walk at different speeds :/
Every mount moves at the same speed
Their sizes make it feel slow/fast
Though the Cloud bike has the speed boost from the MSQ built in
I bought the red hare from the shop and my friend bough the Sleipnir
when we walk on them, his walks MUCH slower
probably because he doesn't have the first tier of movement speed
which you get from the main scenario quest
We do because his chocobo walks at the same speed
has nothing to do with the mounts themselves (outside of sds fenrir)
Its the shop mount thats the issue
His choco walks at the same speed as my red hare
but his Sleipnir doesn't
Though the Cloud bike has the speed boost from the MSQ built in
You probably don't have the MSQ speed boost, which the Bike gets automatically
All mounts move at the same speed, flatout., with one exception and that is the sds fenrir
Idk about walking but normal running speed are the same for all mounts
I need clarification on “walk” there
See? the shop mount is walking so much slower
No we're both on PC
We are both of Slyph
Also maps give mount speed
and his choco walks the same speed as my red hare, it's just this shop mount
is it ok to ask about reshade/gshade in here?
you have walk toggled on in this clip, which would slow your regular speed
@next sun yes
thanks, i was wondering if anyone using gshade or espresso glow specifically has a notification at the top that wont go away
his choco speed is just fine when walking with me
https://gyazo.com/978397585de9ce4aefb9cfb4e1f0f4e2
says to update but seems like people say that removes all your settings
It'll give you the option to back up and convert your presets
So just save all your options before updating
how doable is dancer on controller with all main skills? is there too many buttons for it? is it fun ? how mobile? etc. anything to know? will be my second class (only want two : warrior/dancer) if that matters
Does reporting hackers in this game work or is it a fight against windmills?
Well first off controller doesn't hinder anything Kathy. Pretty mobile, fun? I like the idea but I'm not too much of a fan of how proc heavy it is
Bard is quite proc heavy too but I like that one, just something about how Dancer handles it tbh
ah ok^^ ty , that eases my thoughts on it and whats that mean proc heavy? like u rely on certain skills?
procs are like
hi, I am planning to be a new player, where should I buy the game if I want the cheapest, and what is that 30 days time card
Say you have a skill, using that skill procs another skill (allowing you to use that other skill) but it's kinda % chanced
so with dancer you can kinda end up doing a 1-2 combo and just wait for procs to happen so you can use other skills
😄 lol sounds like imma be bitching if it doesnt proc then
ty cali :3! imma go for it
@leaden ginkgo I mean, it looks like he's moving slower in the second clip, too. All mounts have the same speed, flat out, the only differences are the SDS fenrir and/or if you have mount speed upgrades. Toggling on/off walk can make a difference, and for controller if you tilt the control stick slightly vs fully that changes the speed too
^
there's no magical different speed value or anything
Anybody know if i can do anything to download faster? It takes 20 hours to complete
@raw solstice we're on PC and he's walking a lot faster compared to the shop mount, it's because he has 150ms that he might look slower but in game we're walking the same speed/have the same gap compared to the shop mount he just bought
You can see a huge difference in walk speed
Between his choco and shop mount
I don't really want to say anywhere to get the game cheapest because I don't know what region you are in or the pricing or whatever but a 30 days time card is literally a thing you can buy for a code to add 30 days to your account @long onyx
A one off addition of time unlike a sub
so basically this game is a monthly subscription?
So a while back I read some news about a chocobo carriage mount that would be 4-person, but I checked the mogstation today and no trace of it. Is it earnable in game or has it just not been released yet?
This is a subscription based game yes
I recall seeing something like that Vie
Pretty sure it's never been mentioned
(I think it was datamined???)
huh
okay so I actually googled it and apaprently a "Preview from Korean Dev Blog" was released on Nov 26.
oh actually
it was yeah, k dev
doesn't look like it was released on KR
and if it does get brought over to us, it will most likely be cash shop
dying in a savage raid hurts gear condition right?
Yes
any sch weapons that glow when sheathed?
I hope a fashion report question is okay.... can I still get a 100, and thus the title, if I am missing a single piece, and instead make up the difference with the other correct looks with better dyes on them?
How do I get the deathbringer ultima?
clear the weapon's refrain (ultimate), so basically one of the hardest fights in the game requiring 60-100h of prog for a group of good players
Goddamn

Can I CTRL+Right Click to add a flag on map without it putting <flag> in chat?
Is there a way to make a non glowable weapon glow?
@sturdy mason if you're just using it for personal reasons then you can just delete the flag text the flag icon should still show on the map
it just wont for any of your party
I am using it for personal only, but reason I'm asking is because it's annoying to clear chat every time
yeah I agree, I dont know of any way though sorry
No problem thanks for the help 🙂
Is there any way to make the bar on the duty you're playing as another character appear as your first bar?
Can I make gil in the millions range on 2.5?
Does FFXIV limit class in free trial version ?
what's the best way to get the last 2 levels 79 and 80? do i just keep running trusts? i'm at 9m xp out of 32m needed lol
So, can someone explain the level 30 DRG quest to me? I just turned it in. Apparently, the Azure Dragoon had the Eye (which as I gather is [HW spoilers] ||not actually Nidhogg's eye but his job stone? the wording is kind of confusing but honestly both the job stone and Nidhogg's eye are rightfully his||... and then stole it? He stole his own stuff and so the Holy See sends an outsider to deal with him? An outsider who, were they not the WoL, would probably get swatted down by The Azure Dragoon in like .1 seconds if they actually started a confrontation asking him to return the Eye?
Or does any of this get explained later?
I'm fresh, and I'm using free trial version. And I see only can play some classes in Discipline war and magic , is it right ?
if i want to play more class , I have to buy game ?
Yes. All of the expansion jobs require either a higher level or an expansion you don't have.
The exception is Rogue which is technically speaking not an expansion job but still isn't available through character creation.
Is there a way to check how long left on road to 70 besides lodestone achievements?
The classes you choose at the start are just the base classes, you'll get the jobs unlocked at lvl 30 for each class then Dark Knight, Machinist, Astrologian, Dancer, Gunbreaker, Samurai and Red Mage are locked behind the various expansions for the game, the first 3 are locked until you get Heavensward, SAM and RDM are unlocked at lvl 50 if you have Stormblood and Dancer and Gunbreaker are unlocked at level 60 if you have Shadowbringers.
they are dlc names
Those are expansions
if you buy shadowbringers you get all the rest of the dlcs iirc
@gritty oracle I'd probably have spoiler tagged more than that but just to explain, for the level 30-50 DRG questline you just need to imagine you're doing it before the HW story. ||The eye he has IS Nidhogg's eye that Ishgard has had for ages. He took the eye from Ishgard, Estinien never owned the eye, I just want to make that clear, he was just the only one allowed to use it. Lastly, The Holy See didn't send an outsider, that's more Alberic's call and specifically requested you IIRC||
@remote lintel Yes
Ah, thanks Cal!
@leaden ginkgo you can make millions at any point in the game, it's just harder the lower your level is, generally. additionally, some weapons can be made glowy from not glowy, but they're usually relics.
weapons that have a variant that glows are usually crafted or relics, or ultimate, as was mentioned
Hi i want play the callback campaign, its necessary people add me to friend list before?
im blind. someone pls help me
ive been looking for like 15 mins and i cant find it
can't find what
@dim ridge yeah I saw. I'm currently at level 52 trying to buy some stuff from the market board, specifically glamours, that require gil around the millions range. Do you have any tips on the laziest and fastest way to make a lot of gil?
oh the map point i see the map bit lemme look
Someone from your friend's list or FC has to invite you @modest bridge
Just south of Invisible City
Towards the northwest
Lower but same area
Then if anyone add me after i can't do anything? =S
oooh shoot maybe let me check
It's not a maybe
@leaden ginkgo well for one, usually you're gonna have to wait til endgame to make a lot fast unless you have crafters/gatherers/the patience to play the market
xD
on the map it looks like an upper edge of an area
I'm not sure what you mean Alazur
that was it, thanks guys
one thing you can do is find something that sells CONSISTENTLY on your server and just do that, like people always need elemental shards for crafting, etc. you also get gil from just doing msq. if you're trying to get fancy glamour before even beating heavensward, you're going to have a rough time.
someone said when I reach lvl 10 , I can switch between any class ?
(Sorry my english xD) I mean for example if anyone add me now, i can return? or exclusively i need a frend add before?
Note: that's class you have to do more to get expansion jobs and whatnot
I'm just trying to get the Seeing Horde Guillotine
yeah can you even equip it??
Do I need that rare drop from Nidhogg to make it?
No but I'm planning ahead
I'm a stylist lol
isn't that a level 60 item? and yes
discord pls
there it finally sent lol
but yeah nidhogg ex drops the item for it
Well...you can't friend request someone who isn't online. If you have someone on your friends list or free company and you meet the requirements you can be invited for the campaign
I'm hearing horror stories about the item
but you can't get someone to friend request you right now because you can't be online to get the request
It has like a very very low chance of dropping
yes
I scoop 😢
it may be a better idea to focus on hitting 60/finishing hw and getting to a point in the story you can access the fight?
Oh, maybie the next time, thank you for you time =)
isn't that a level 60 item? and yes
Seeing Horde anything is level 60
True
Oh nice Miz it's repeating your comments
Seeing Horde Guillotine sounds so badass
Is it repeating? xD
I pretty much just made a list of the glamours I want
Great, Discord is shitting itself.
Weathered shadowbringer is obtained through just hitting level 80 right?
And doing all the role quests
Then are there other drk weapons that I get by hitting level milestones
Well yeah
Yeah and they all turn into a relic iirc
You get job gear at every level cap
You just don't get job gear for expansion jobs for the level cap prior to it's release
aka no DRK level 50 artifact gear
since level 50 is not Heavensward+
Is there a list of drk weapons I unlock at lvl caps?
Deathbringer, Antiquated Caladbolg, Weathered Shadowbringer. Done.
Pretty sure it's Deathbringer atleast.
Oooooo
you can upgrade it in eureka
Mhmm, good luck finding parties for Eureka tho

It doesn't have to be upgraded
eureka can be soloed now so its not that bad
Is it repeating? xD
Even for killing the giant fucking bird whose name I forgot? I remember you practically needed a raid to kill the dude at the least.
I think?
Either way
Eureka balances itself over how active the area is
The reason it took a billion people is because there was a billion people doing Eureka
Raising the difficulty
Deathbringer awoken does look sexy ngl
o-o fucking discord repeating MY messages now >.>
Question for anyone that has a knowledge of general class stuff from other FF games
Is there a healing class they could potentially add that might be similar to WoW's disc priest? I love the dps/healing hybrid gameplay that comes with atonement
FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS™️ COLLECTOR'S EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD] included Heavensward Stormblood Shadowbringers ?
yes
so what is the difference between STANDARD EDITION and COLLECTOR'S EDITION ?
Well, as a healer you're supposed to DPS anyway but uhh in terms of classes? Not really, SCH would probably be the closest you'd get to a Disc Priest from WoW but FF has no classes or jobs similar to a Disc Priest cuz that's a pretty unique class that really you only see in WoW. @vocal canyon
@vocal canyon
The healers in this game are:
White mage: Very raw and upfront damage and healing, plus some healing over time. Plays a lot like hpriest.
Scholar: Has a pet that contributes to healing, lots of oGCDs on a separate resource than mana. has a lot of shields.
Astrologian: Gives the allies cards that make them deal more damage. Can spec into either hots or shields. Lots of cool visuals, the busiest job imo.
collector's edition has additional goods like a mount/cosmetic stuff @hoary cobalt
oh I got it , thanks Kael
Sorry, i should have specified i know what the classes do
Im a healer main with almost all classes maxed
oh also @leaden ginkgo seeing horde guillotine is lower than a mil on mateus, probably even cheaper on balmung
Was just wondering if there was any potential for a future class closer to disc priests
But i see now that disc is pretty unique
oh. well you said 'in the millions' and it's not in the millions is all lol
Short answer, no. Long answer, no job in any FF game is like a Disc priest iirc so uhh no.
Disc Priest, Death Knight, and I think Demon Hunter are all very VERY unique in the way WoW has them portrayed so none of those really have a FF counterpart.
@vocal canyon To be honest, SE has kind of backed itself into the corner with the regen/shield dichotomy. So unless the overhaul the entire system and basically redesign all three healing classes, I don't see us getting another healer any time soon. :(
for those, it's usually easier to work with a crafter/provide mats if the price is up high
which armor?
I think next 2 jobs will be healer and ranged caster
Since they completely ditched AST's time mage theme
I can see potential for a time mage healer

I think this conversation is better suited to #general-discussion
yeah sorry
@dim ridge well I was able to afford the heavy coat which was the most important piece for me
But I wanted the gauntlets and the leg pieces. Thankfully the lvl 60 drk quest provides armor that matches it
So I won't be buying it. If anything yes I need 800k lol
ok. so i dont know if im just dumb as hell but ffxiv is subscription based yes? i cant find anywhere to buy the subscription though. would appreciate if someone could help lol
You can pay the subcription via gametime cards sold at (online) shops too. @jaunty ledge 
hm says server is unavailable due to maintenance when i try to go to full version, will try again in a bit ty
i think i found a bug??
@jaunty ledge https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/282175/final-fantasy-xiv-online-60-day-game-time-code-download
btw
Not going to say what the bug is? @remote lintel
i did the samurai skill that lets you do combo moves and then did iaijutsu immediately after and my character froze
mid animation
probably just slow gpu, happens sometimes when stuff doesn't load in time
so i was told no one is running Odin, why is that?
Coil has cinematic cutscenes?
The odin trial generally isn't done sync'd because its effectively an extreme trial, and its a lot easier to just do it unsync/solo it at like 70+
I seem to have collected quite a lot of fishes in my quest to 70
Is there really a point to MB-ing them?
or just NPC selling?
most of them, you should probably just vendor
you can check to see if they're a leve fish
to sell them on the mb
how do people skip cutscenes in praetorium
I was doing an msq roulette and by the time the lahabrea cutscene ended he was at 70% health
you can disconnect and relog, or some languages have faster cutscenes due to v/o differences

how do I keep progress of my atmas collected in the realm reborn quest step?
the drops are in your regular inventory
how can i turn off the camera randomly rotation whenever i use skill?
its really annoying
;c
is it cuz im on standard type
@proper junco yeah, so you have a setting toggled on that has you face the target when you use something on them (which is good, since if you're facing away it'll just give you an error instead and not let you use the thing). When you're on standard, your camera is in line with where your character is facing, so if your character turns from that, then your camera turns like that
look for the quest "Up in Arms" in your quest log, in the compelted section
but tbh its probably easier to just have a note pad with the zones and use that
thanks
thats what im gonna do
i just needed to find the quest
thanks a ton
this is gonna be so annoying to do, but might aswell just get it over and done
@raw solstice how do i get rid of my character facing where the camera facing in standard type? or is it not possible and i have to use legacy?
that's just kinda how standard works, you'd have to use legacy to decouple character facing and camera facing
Will the aether compass let you know of a current no matter where you are as long as you’re in the same area as it, or do you need to be a specific distance away
it'll let you know so long as you're in the zone
as long as you're in the same zone, it'll say the direction of the closest current to you
Hey all! I had a question regarding the books for upgrading your Atma weapon.
So right now, I'm finishing up one of the books for the Stardust Rod Atma, but for some reason, NONE of the leves or fates are counting. I've tried doing them all with and without the Stardust Rod equipped and neither are making them count. Help?
@modest hearth you're doing the FATEs that are on the book itself that you have, and you're doing the specific guildleve listed (guildleves are picked up from a different NPC than the regular levemete)?
Correct
how are dpses even supposed to do the gift of eternity
I fought like 5 enemies and I was practically dead
had to switch to my tank halfway through and even then they got me down to less than half health
have to take it a bit slow and be cautious. And can bring your chocobo out to help a bit. Also, just generally having solid gear goes a long way
putting like 500 enemies in a cramped space is bs
@modest hearth which book are you working on/can you take a screenshot of the book's progress?
How do you unlock the lanterns at the scrip exchange? Finish all the facet quests?
for the FATES (Giant Seps, Make it Rain, The Enmity of my Enemy) you've completed them fully and successfully with full credit for it? The last one can be a bit confusing too since it's a two-part fate
Yeah I've done them to completion
Only fate I need is Make it Rain, and I did that with and without the Atma wep equipped
Neither counted
hmm not quite sure then. If you completed it with a gold rating then you should have gotten credit for it
How do you pronounce Alisaie?
@gaunt mason yep, that seems to be correct
Okay I just did the Leve again just for the fun of it, and it counted this time

I'm so lost
no idea but hurry do the FATE and hopefully it works too
don't question it and hope the issue doesn't resurface
and if it does then I guess we can try to sort it out as needed haha
oh yeah I was actually going to ping you for funsies to answer that personally
Hmm
I'm not sure how to describe the pronunciation of saie
It's not say
more ends in an a
start pronouncing say but don't say the y
s-sure
That'll do
Ah-lee-say (don't pronounce with y, end it with a hard "a" sound)
Just say Arize

Thats how it sounds in JP
Damn I thought there was some french pronunciation to it
I thought Alphinaud was Al-fi-nod

alphinau/alfino
Yeah Ik
my mantra: if a problem only happens once and magically fixes itself without you having to do anything, don't question it and just keep going on, hoping it doesn't happen again
Are there rare mob (from world or just trash mobs from a duty) drops? Such as unique/rare armours, mounts, etc
Or that's something that FFXIV keeps only for duties/bosses, unlike WoW
Well, you have Ixion for instance, which drops tokens that you can then trade in for a mount. Pretty sure there's a few FATEs like this
There are unique fates that are special bosses like Ixion which do drop tokens you can trade for items yes
Like you described
Odin
Behemoth
Ixion
Proto-Ultima
they're all cosmetic-related, to note, not actually like good gear to use at endgame or whatever
Yes yes, that's what i was refering
I come from wow (hence the huge amount of references) where it's not that uncommon to see that, idk, the lamias from Azys Lla have a 0.1% chance to drop a wind-up Lamia
to say something
and it didn't look like it on FFXIV, so i assumed it didn't
Now I know it's mostly limited to instances and some special fates
so given that dps queues are longer, what's an efficient way to level an alt dps job?
Daily Roulettes too
PotD/HoH, the randomized dungeons, are decent for queue times on DPS
MSQ roulette every day
If you're in the 70-80 bracket, do the Pixies beast tribe quests, gives about 25% of your exp bar per reset
50% on a rank-up day
only lvl 16 lancer rn, trying out dps
Are they ever going to increase the exp from HW / SB beast tribes?
(the non-crafting ones)
is potd solo worth it?
Don't think they made any announcement in that regard, no :/
*doable
It is doable, there's an achievement for it, but it's not worth it for the experience, you'll go much faster with other people
Does FF14 have crossplay?
yep, sure does

Nice! thanks, a friend of mine is getting it for ps4.
nice, always fun to be able to play with friends <3
Yeah i talked him into trying it out.
Are level 70 dungeons worse for leveling to 71 than level 69 dungeons?
Maybe they give less XP or?
yes, they are
they're not intended to be used for leveling, so the exp they give is pretty poor
that said, running your daily 50/60/70 roulette still gives bonus exp/etc
Even though i main a tank class should i play a dps
You don't have to
How long do i have left for ARR i just defeated garuda
Of the base game before patches?
Not a lot really
Including patches, aka how long till Heavensward, you got a long way to go still
patches are the long bit tho
Patches?
Do I need higher relations with the Ixali to be able to buy Walnut and Oak lumber from them? It's not showing up in the shop yet
Prior to the first expansion
Yes, Esteban
which patches
is there a way to copy character settings over characters?
After ARR
Mail simulator
It's a good story though
Just questionable quest design and pacing
Well
I hate the first trial
Well back to delivering for me
main to alt
same platform
On PC you can go to your XIV folder in documents
And find your character folders which contain your character settings
And then copy and paste from one folder to the other folder replacing the settings
If you look in the folders there should be a common dat file or something
The date on that file changes when you log in
So just log in on your main
Look at the folders to see which one had the date change
And then you know which folder is your main
And you can do a similar thing for your alt
(or just blanket all the other character folders with my main's settings like I did)
i think i got it now
Gear isn't categorised by A B or C
That just corresponds to which party gets what chest
you have a chance of getting it from the first and second boss' chests
^
Doesn't matter what party you are in
oh no, i made a grave mistake
i forgot that my hotbar is using class-specific hotbar for those macro
now i cant change them
I thought it did
can still copy the hotbar thankfully
Man how do people manage all the trash gear my mind is overheating
I'm probably gonna need it when I level another job but urgh
It's so hard
you either toss it, desynth it, turn it in for seals, or sell it.
Are account linked to the game purchase? For example, if I buy the complete addition is my SE ID associated with it or can my boyfriend and I both play the same complete edition purchase as long as we have separate subscription accounts?
They’ll need to buy their own
Lame

If I'm logged in on character A, can I use a skip on character B without having to log out?
it's a consumable item afaik, so no
yes
road to 70 only expires if both the server is no longer preferred and it's been 90 days minimum
whats the best poetics to gil?
!faq poetics
Is the Regalia mount unobtainable now?
Probably the Thanalan or shroud potting soil
yup @placid zephyr
That’s upsetting
The event can always come back, there’s just been no word
And collaborative events have repeated
I'm confused. Why can I only quick synth 15? I have mats for 30
hey guys, if u do the MSQ dungeons with the NPCs is there extra dialog or story?
i play with my SO as a Tank/healer duo, so we dont need to do it with the npcs, unless theres more story/dialog
@sturdy mason you need more crystals
oh god
@little walrus they just have flavor text to say in the dungeon for the most part
Are there more themes similar to the one in O12S?
@sturdy mason There is a way to farm them "Aetherial Reduction".
anything worth actually doing it? or should i just go with dutyfinder?
and can u do Trust later, or ONLY when u have the msq?
You can do them later
you can do trusts later, however once you finish the MSQ you will have to level them up manually, rather than them already being on level.

Trusts get reset to lvl71 so you have to grind them out
yeah like a lot of final bosses have something similar @leaden ginkgo
for the animus step do I need to have the relic wep equiped or i just need to complete the objectives?
||hades, nidhogg, 9s, shinryu, thordan|| etc
Do raid bosses fit into that
@frank zephyr it needs to be equipped
where do I go at level 70 to get better gear?
cause lemme tell you
I'm loving the chorus orchestra shit they've got going on
Rhalgr’s reach has level 70 poetics gear
okay thank you
kinda, but o4s and o8s are more like, old FF music orchestrated and eden went more into "old primal themes remixed" @leaden ginkgo
Alright thanks for the info
final phases of ultimates too
Is it possible to create an alt and promote it to FC leader? I inherited a dead FC and want to leave it, but I don't want to disband it. I am the only active member left
How does the 2fa work in ffxiv?
yes, but you'll need a friend
Idk if I should get the security token that I just discovered
You either install an app
Or get a physical device
Not sure about the process of acquiring the physical device
The app just need you to input a secret key from your account
Then it will work
Take note that removing the app now requires the secret key as well
That's the issue, all of my friends are in the dead FC and are inactive
^
I have no idea what that means
Making my dark knight animal weapon, how many of each crystal do I need?
@warped nest why travel? Does it have to do with ip?
Yeah
Ok
@vivid tide has been banned by Yen#1904 for the following reason:
troll
@novel bluff one of each crystal, assuming you're talking about the first step
Yeah. And thanks rika 🙂
For smn... Why after using dreadwyrm trance cant i use bahamut right after
If you’re below 72 you need to use DWT twice
I guess ARR caps at 50.
I don't suppose that's a question.
Uh, am I harming my progression by continuing to do MSQ at cap?
Yes, the EXP is wasted afaik. I don't know if you get it when you uncap it to 80.
Can you sell minions once u summon them?
No.
Once you used the minion item you have it forever
Most are sellable @leaden ginkgo, try to sell it on the MB.
ok ty dreamy n vinyl^-^
finding a party for ramuh takes forever

not really the channel for that kind of question, tbh
any advice on what the fastest/most efficient way to grind poetics is? I dont mean doing dailies every day, I mean something I can do while watching netflix
Hunt train, aetherochemical research facility/the first Heavensward 60 dungeon, not much else off the top of my head.
can also do ghimlyt dark, if queues are decent
did they put 150 in ghimlyt too?
no, its 100
Are the collector's edition items interesting/cool?
So I have a super rare fish I want to desynth for an expensive cloth. I want to make sure I do this right. I admit I don't fully understand the desynth leveling system. It says "Desynthesizable: 80.00 (Culinarian)". What is the number?
your desynth level
if it's above 80 there's a way higher chance of getting the rare mat
how do I know what my desynth level is
It was the minimum desynth needed to be able to desynth the item successfully
Now it's just when you have a higher chance of getting rare materials
You check your desynth level by going into your character menu, and switching from DoW/DoM to DoL/DoH
OOF
it's all cosmetics so it's super subjective, if you like anything then buy it, if you don't then don't @wooden glen
I finally found images of them, heh
80 desynth is pretty low so just get a bunch of higher level trash fish and desynth them
What can I do to level my CUL desynth to past 80? And how far past 80 should I go for a good chance at the rare mat?
should take like 30 mins
what level fish?
dunno try a few different level ranges, but you generally start with getting like 1.5-3 points per item desynthed
then it gets lower as you level down to like 0.80 or less
just get a bunch of trash fish and spam desynth them
desynth requires WAY too many clicks
Boy this order sure is being processed.
I guess it went through, since I got the e-mail. Page still spinning, heh
anyone know off the top of their head the name of that coat glamour added in 5.1 that has two versions, one is less open/more buckle-y or something
Urban/Rebel Coat
