I currently have a nexus weapon. However, I can only get a replica of this stage of the weapon when I complete the zodiac zeta, correct?

What code did you buy?

So, i notice that over in Stormblood zones, Fate start to have an XP Bonus

#

How do they work out?

#

Do you have the base game?

leaden ginkgo
#

no

near path
#

It aint gonna work then

jade quartz
#

They just have an exp bonus sometimes randomly. It’s fine, not majorly significant.

#

Still not an amazing leveling method.

obsidian patio
#

Still good to do during queues

Shadowbringers is the expansion

leaden ginkgo

Sorta an 'off time, finding something to do'

#

As Wynne noted

cold scarab
#

I have a question on chocobo racing/breeding - do the abilities you can teach them via tombs carry over over multiple generations? I'm just starting and want a good chocobo at high pedigree, but wonder if I can teach them useless racing skills during the early pedigrees like increased exp to make the breeding go faster

jade quartz
#

Sometimes a forlorn maiden mob will appear during a FATE.

obsidian patio
#

I’ve only done up to pedigree 3 but so far it looks like that

jade quartz
#

Killing it will give you a buff that will grant bonus exp from the following FATE

#

Yes, taught abilities can be inherited.

cold scarab
#

My initial understanding is that abilites can carry over generations, but not from 1 to 9 so I'm hoping that the early pedigrees can use those non racing abilities

near path
#

I didn't realize racing chocobos had this much under the hood

cold scarab
#

I don't want my pedigree 9 chocobo to have extra exp ability, is it safe to have early pedigree chocos with those abilities assuming it won't be inherited from 1 to 9 that much?

jade quartz
#

When retiring your chocobo you can choose whether to have it pass on it’s inherited ability or its taught ability.

#

Then the chick has a 50/50 chance to inherit the ability being passed on by the mother or father.

near path
#

What does racing chocobos get you?

jade quartz
#

Uh, once you get to pedigree 9 that’s not typically the end of the breeding process

cold scarab
#

Oh, I wasn't aware you could choose to not inherit an ability, that's good - I just don't want to screw myself over by giving them exp boosting abilities when it would be useless for a ped 9 choco

jade quartz
#

Once you’re there you begin to fine-tune what stats and abilities they have with more breeding.

obsidian patio
#

Chocobo Racing eventually is one of the best methods of grinding MGP

#

But it requires a lot of investment

jade quartz
#

You cannot choose to not inherit an ability.

near path
#

I've been to the Golden Saucer once. It wasn't really explained why I would want MGP though.

#

From a player perspective

obsidian patio
#

Glamour and minions/mounts

jade quartz
#

For cosmetic etc. rewards

cold scarab
#

I thought that's what you just said though, is it a bad idea to give them abilites like increased exp early on in breeding process?

near path
#

Always the same ones, or does it rotate them in and out or something?

jade quartz
#

It’s not what I said

obsidian patio
#

The stuff available is constant

jade quartz
#

A chocobo can pick which of its two potential abilities to pass on when retiring.

#

Then the chick will randomly inherit either the one the father is passing on or the one the mother is passing on.

#

And no it’s not a bad idea in the slightest

near path
#

So if you have two chocobo with the same ability and pick both to pass on, it's guaranteed which one you'll get?

jade quartz
#

As I mentioned, breeding for abilities doesn’t end at pedigree 9

#

Yes that would be guaranteed afaik

#

Getting to pedigree 9 is just the first half of the process of breeding a good choco.

cold scarab
#

I see, I realize its not the end at ped 9, I just don't want to screw myself over early on in the process - I've read you can mess it up to the point of it being better to start over

little walrus
#

can someone tell me how to deal with Heavensfall phase 3 transition in second coil turn 4?

#

it drops a thing in the center, and it either 1 shots me, or pushes me into the wall

jade quartz
#

I really don’t think it’s possible to screw up to that extent Xeby

raw solstice
#

heavensfall does proximity damage and a knockback from the center, as you've found out

#

you have to mitigate and be a bit far away from center

#

but not far enough that you get knocked into the wall

little walrus
#

well its dealing 80,000 dmg if im in the center

jade quartz
#

You must stand at the ideal distance so that you will be knocked just shy of the edge.

leaden ginkgo
#

yo yo ty for helpoing

#

next question

cold scarab
#

Ok, that's a relief- thanks @jade quartz

obsidian patio
#

That’s because it 1-shots if it squishes you

leaden ginkgo
#

i hjjust officially regestered

#

how do i use friened code?

obsidian patio
#

“Enter recruitment code” in the mogstation

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you ❤️

little walrus
#

ok i got to the dragons phase... im guessing u cant 2-man second coil turn 4 😂

north dagger
#

I have a small question about the Level Boost items?

If I buy the one for Machnist for a character that's not at HW yet(I have it purchased but this specific character isn't there yet) then does it still let them use the class and unlock it for them, or will I not be able to use it until I get to HW?

twilit arch
#

the level boost items don't care about your msq progress or level

#

all it cares about is whether you have the appropriate expansions tied to your account

#

so, as long as you've got heavensward registered to your account, you can use the machinist level boost at lvl 1

elfin musk
#

is blade of early antiquity still once a week

twilit arch
#

nope

jade quartz

No, uncapped

jaunty ledge
#

so if i bought steam version, i login to my square enix account and it tells me i dont have a valid soemthing or an expired subscription, i go to the mog station link, i enter the product key i got when i launched the game under registration code it gives me an error i2501. the error code seems to be completely unrelated to anything since i bought the game off steam and it is an error with a card being declined or something.

near path
#

What do the symbols next to player names mean? Flag, leaf, sword, and so?

twilit arch
#

there's a section for player icons

near path
#

TY

obsidian patio
#

@jaunty ledge error i2501 is a general catch-all error. It can also be caused by a VPN, unstable connection, and too many failed attempts

jaunty ledge
#

Hm. I’ll retry tomorrow. I don’t have my VPN active rn, but my internet is p bad due to my current living situation

#

Might wait till Monday too, just put in a support ticket

#

so when I am leveling desynth for CUL, does it matter what level fish I use?

obsidian patio
#

If it’s too low of a level you won’t get any desynth levels

#

I think ideal is like 20-30 or higher than your current level

sturdy mason

I can't tell level of the fish from the MB

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

Go to the calamity salvager and spend the gold feathers on the draught chocobo

#

“Deal in spoils”

rich bay
#

Your friend needs to sub for 90 days to get the Yellow 2-seater chocobo.

The draught chocobo needs 8 golden feathers Wynne. Not enough when you only have invited one player

leaden ginkgo
#

i didn't receive any feathers will it come in mog mail?

#

oh

#

ok gotcha

sturdy mason
#

Wynne do you have any tips on how to make sure I get the right fish as I level?

#

I'm OK buying fish just need to know what to buy. On the fish description it doesn't say a level

obsidian patio
#

Tbh I just bought a bunch of i300+ fish off the marketboard

sturdy mason
#

any names you can throw at me?

#

don't even see an item level on fish

obsidian patio
#

It should say “desynthesizable” on the tooltip somewhere

sturdy mason
#

so I'm looking for 300?

obsidian patio
sturdy mason
#

ah cool i got it

obsidian patio
#

Just high enough to get the max leveling benefit

#

Which is 30 or so levels above you

#

So you could be lazy and buy a ton of one fish, or buy different kinds of varying levels if that’s cheaper

Why run things unsynced? You don’t get exp and drops from mobs anymore right?

green grail

you get loot like normal

twilit arch

drops from mobs are pretty whatever in the long run

green grail
#

extreme trial mounts or just completion for wondrous tails

twilit arch
#

you still get chest loot

topaz scroll
#

Oh so basically only con is no exp? But you still get loot chests and boss drops?

green grail
#

and you can ignore most mechanics instead of having to learn a whole fight and bother with dps checks on butchered rotations on low level jobs

twilit arch

and if you're doing stuff like extreme trials, then the exp is whatever

It can also be used to upgrade the i450 crafted gear to i460

The level 80 Dancer Job armor is super skimpy thotwear just like the 60 and 70 armor right?

crude relic
#

Mmk, would i460 even be worth getting at this point with 5.2 being almost a week away? Asside from the obvious EX farm for mounts and the Copied Factory. Like should I bother with doing Eden Savage before 5.2 or should I go through Normal for the story and call it good?

Hm worth it since dont have to pay name change too ^^ ty!!

#

Oh wait

#

So I need standard because its having two characters?

#

Should I ask someone to make a charcter with same name then? Or I have to do it?

#

Somehow lol

twilit arch
#

entry only allows you to have one character per world. So when you go to transfer, if you're on entry, that world won't be available to transfer if you already have a character

leaden ginkgo
#

OHHH

twilit arch
#

that's why you would need to be on standard. You could ask someone to make a character with the same name as your character so when you transfer it'll force a name change

I didn't found rogue job in character creation. So how can I choose it and lvl up it to become ninja ?

whole wasp
#

you can become a rogue by leveling any other job to level 10

raw solstice
#

you can't start as a rogue, you have to start as another job and swap over to rogue (you can unlock and level all classes/jobs on the same character). If you want the fastest path to unlock rogue, you have to pick a job that starts in limsa lominsa (marauder or arcanist) and get them up to level 10

#

do the class quests and then you can pick up the rogue class

hoary cobalt
#

Ahhhhh , I got it

raw solstice
#

any other job, you can start as, but then you'll have to get to level 15 where MSQ will take you to the other starting cities (in this case limsa) where you can pick up rogue

The balance doesn't use a melding priority for Paladin, just make sure you get your GCD anywhere between 2.45 and 2.38, and then just make sure your melds are getting their full value

Hey guys, for the level 50 weapons. (Zodiac) I've done the Atma farm, but cant figure out how to upgrade Zenith to Atma

#

can anyone help out

#

Up in Arms shows complete, and i even tried equipping Thyrus Zenith, but cant find a quest or anyone to talk to to upgrade it

#

It looks like you just talk to jalzahn with it unequipped

If that doesn't work then I hope someone can tell you what's up

i tried that 😦

You're 100% sure you have all 12 atma?

I generally recommend wherever the story takes you so can take advantage of the free teleport when needed

Outside of that I have mine either at Limsa Lominsa for the proximity to the marketboard or Eulmore for the tomestone vendors

How do you decide which one to sleep in and which one to go to the bathroom in? If I had that many houses in real life I'd definitely have individual actions in each one 🙂

Main Story is the biggest source of experience. You can also run some daily roulettes such as Leveling, Alliance Raid, and Main Scenario for further daily EXP

eternal fulcrum
#

Fates are great too and fast

jade quartz
#

FATEs aren't particularly great or fast

#

but they are an option if you have nothing else to do and are queued up.

eternal fulcrum
#

i mean with forlorn you get good exp

jade quartz
#

It's not that large an increase.

eternal fulcrum
#

certainly for the 70-80

#

i've had some fates give me 3m+

jade quartz
#

that's not that much, and you don't get forlorns on every FATE.

eternal fulcrum
#

ye but doing it while lvling 70-80 after doing tribes and roulette and just waiting for random dungeons etc

#

plus it's good to rank 3 them anyways per region

little walrus
#

what is the most efficient gil/time wise to level DOH beyond just doing daily maelstrom turn ins?

gloomy ice
#

Ishgardian Restoration is pretty good exp. Especially above 40. Might need a gatherer to get materials however as it uses mostly unique mats. Levequests are probably the best for exp yield but usually require time and effort to get the most of it (all HQ turn ins ideally).

little walrus
#

hmmm HQ seems very difficult to do.. i guess i should level LW to make my own gear for crafting first?

obsidian patio
#

getting HQ is inconsistent without using full high-quality materials until the later levels

#

with the old system I usually managed consistent HQ crafts in the mid 30's, but that was with cross-class crafting. So I can't say for sure when you'll be able to do it.

little walrus
#

so you level them all up at the same time, or keeping them close together?

obsidian patio
#

General recommendation is to keep them around 5 levels or so of each other to share gear and crafting materials

#

with Culinarian being a special case as it can level up completely isolated of the others

little walrus
#

only managed wvr that high by losing millions of gil :X so i know im doing it wrong

obsidian patio
#

yeah you'll lose tons of money by not gathering your own stuff unless you know how to take good advantage of daily/weekly experience sources and leves.

#

Like something you can do right at the tail-end of level 59 is to do a Castle Leve from Ishgard, which will shoot you from 59 to something like 65 with a single leve (that costs 10 leves)

little walrus
#

oh damn wow

#

ive never done any sihgard stuff, can i start restoration with, say the 9 alchemist?

jade quartz
#

Level 20 is the lowest level crafter at which you can participate

little walrus
#

ok, so ill get them all 20, and that would be a good way to level them all?

obsidian patio
#

I can't personally say, had all of my crafters nearly maxed out by the time it came out.

hot eagle
#

should help u if u want to lvl with ishgard

obsidian patio
#

from what I heard it's about as good as leves

#

but they're unlimited in how many you can do

hot eagle
#

did lvl my alt with it, its a good alternative to leves even more so since u dont need to gather so much stuf for the leve items

wintry chasm
#

Also you don't need to keep swapping materials/make other things as often @obsidian patio

distant plinth
#

Is savage coming out the same time as the normal raid this next patch?

wintry chasm

Yes

They only get spread apart for expansion launches

Thank you!

anything such as referreal links? i think im about to try this game out

obsidian patio
#

Can't use recruit a friend until you pay for the base game. :\

oak spindle
#

are there any glowy sch weapons that glow when sheathed?

wintry chasm
#

slate arrow
#

no

wintry chasm
#

If you get a glow weapon and draw it out and /sit really quickly the effects go onto the weapon while sheathed. Works for everything

slate arrow
#

without glitches anyways

obsidian patio
#

none of the weapons glow when sheathed, but there is a bug you can use for most glowy weapons that lets them glow on your back

#

There's also this macro

/bm
/sit
wintry chasm
#

@bright junco Yeah have to buy the game but before you pay for a sub to input a refer a friend code

bright junco
#

what are the benefits to it?

#

i just quit WoW go figure so im hoping i can get sucked into this game

wintry chasm
#

Differs a bit between the person who uses the code and the person who gives the code but uh

some xp boosting items, an emote

what are the challenging things to do

The raids

you have to level from 1 to 60 which takes a good while already

is there a eureka guide? ive been there once before but got confused and noped out

leaden ginkgo
#

howdy, Dumb idiot I am I somehow deleted my FFXIV client. I'm currently downloading a trial client, is the transition smoothly from trial to full client? Would it need to download a bunch of extra stuff?

obsidian patio
#

I think in terms of the base game there's not much extra you need to download if anything

#

if you mean the expansions too then you'll need to download all of that, which is like 20+ gigs

leaden ginkgo
#

ouch damn. That sounds like it will take me a while. Ty.

#

Than again, the trial will let me see if I can fix my problem before I pick up a sub again.

long granite
#

Speaking of trials and subs... I’m a new player, like I’ve barely played this type of game before. I got the free trial but I know a bunch of things arent available, like marketboard. I like it so far but I don’t know if I’ll be super bad at it eventually and waste the purchase. I’ve heard that you can’t really unsubscribe or something?

Any advice on how far I should go on the free trial to switch over to the full version?

obsidian patio
#

You're definitely able to unsubscribe at any time through the mogstation by clicking "Cancel Subscription" near service account status

leaden ginkgo
#

I believe the free trial lets you play any class up to lvl 30. The game does pick up after lvl 50 (imo) but at 30 you should know if the game is fun enough at its core. You can sign up for 1 month at a time if you want.

obsidian patio
#

the cap is now at 35, but yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

oh is it 😄

long granite
#

I looked at the packs and got the spinny eyes. Which things would I need to buy to play normally?

#

I saw one only goes up to level 50.

#

Would I be able to join guilds and parties on a free trial?

obsidian patio
#

you can't join guilds, but you can be invited to parties while on the trial

#

The Starter Edition is the base game which is the level 50 cap. The expansion Shadowbringers raises it to the current cap of 80.

long granite
#

If I were to want to keep playing id buy starter edition +shadow bringers?

obsidian patio
#

yes, though you don't need to buy shadowbringers right away unless you want to play as one of the expansion races (Au Ra, Viera, Hrothgar) or the stormblood expansion jobs at 50 (Red Mage + Samurai)

slate arrow
#

or the complete edition

long granite
#

😵 does the complete edition substitute all other things?

obsidian patio
#

complete edition is the starter edition and shadowbringers bundled together

long granite
#

If you wanted the other races you’d have to create a new chara and start over at level 1 right?

#

@obsidian patio ooh thanks

obsidian patio
#

You can use a Fantasia to change your race. One is obtained for free through the story.

slate arrow
#

no, you could also use the one free fantasia you get from the final 2.0 quest

long granite
#

Oh cool

#

Thank you guys!

fading nova
#

I'm deciding on server after the game finally downloaded and i'm unsure. Which EU server would be great to join? English speaker, high pop and doing endgame too?

obsidian patio
#

EU servers are well balanced in their population. Moogle is the unofficial French server and Shiva is the unofficial German server.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

#

I'd pick a preferred server though since you get double xp up to level 70 for ages

#

It's really good

fading nova

It does not say what is a preferred server

This is how it looks like

using /doze on a housing bed or similar furnishing that can be lain down on does have cposes.

Does it vary by clan or do f.e seekers and keepers have the same?

How decent is EXP from 70 to 80 for DoL and DoH?

#

Quest wise

whole wasp
#

Pretty good. I assume you mean the quests in the crystalline mean?

obsidian patio
#

it's around 4 whole levels or so IIRC

#

if you do all HQ turn ins

stable herald
#

I think so. I assume levelling 70 to 80 is relatively painless?

#

Tho my perspective maybe diff as I levelled via Namazu

whole wasp
#

Unfortunately the quests are shared between 3 dol each and all 3 doh

stable herald
#

Oh.. oh no.

#

Then how do you guys level? Turn ins?

#

Rowena?*

jade quartz
#

Leves, daily GC turnins, Ishgardian Restoration

#

same as ever.

obsidian patio
#

I did mostly custom deliveries, grand company turn-ins, and challenge log

hot eagle
#

u can use customs, gc turn-ins, leves are easy and give a lot exp too or u do ishgard

stable herald
#

The landking and handking are respectively the highest 70 gear, right?

obsidian patio
#

yes

stable herald
#

Time for some scrip gathering i guess

obsidian patio
#

Landking/Handking can pretty much last you all the way to 80, with some tool replacement in the second half

twin kelp
#

So when i'm dancing, I just press whichever ones light up?

obsidian patio
#

maybe replacing the accessories sooner since they're not great

#

yes, part of your job gauge shows you the order to press them

stable herald
#

Just left with the tools to get, but I guess if I wanna get scrips, apart from customs, I gotta look for the mats?

obsidian patio
#

yep, though you get a good amount of yellow scrips from the Mean quests

stable herald
#

As in, for Rowena, i hav to find/gather the mats?

#

Oh. Thats nice

#

But what do I need for 80 gear?

obsidian patio
#

the starting level 80 set is the dwarven stuff, though it's probably cheap enough that you're better off just buying the set

stable herald
#

Ah. What do I need for current tier gear then?

obsidian patio
#

Facet is the most current set, which can be crafted with semi-melded dwarven stuff

tardy patio
#

Theres no way to test/trial how a job plays at 80 yet like what potd/hoh do for 60+70 is there

obsidian patio
#

correct

#

(also POTD/HOH is bad for testing jobs at max level since everything dies so fast)

tardy patio
#

Got it. Got a bunch of jobs in the 60s-70 range and no idea what I'd find fun at 80. Heck

stable herald
#

Whoops. Ignore that

I'm level 30 now and I wanna class change to dragoon

#

but how do I get to ishgard

you go there at the end of the base game patch story

but you don't need to go to ishgard to become a dragoon

light junco
#

huh

obsidian patio
#

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my job?
Info

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

obsidian patio
#

the quest to unlock dragoon should be at the lancer's guild once you've done the level 1-30 class quests and completed the listed story quest

#

After the unlock quest they should mainly be in the southern part of the Coerthas Central Highlands for 30-50

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

#

You are probably being confused since Coerthas is the area around Ishgard

#

In the same way that Thanalan is the area around Ul'dah

it is a pretty obscure feature

That won't be what most people are using.

#

I was doing something stupid, cant be logged in on phone and pc at the same time. d'oh. nvm.

Can just toggle off HUD and take a screenshot of the fight with your shader preset.

#

I guess im not gonna do that

#

Is it worth doing whole Hall of the Novice on tank? Or is it for every class ? Any nice rewards for that?

slate arrow
#

there's 3 unique sets you can get from hall of the novice

#

Physical DPS, Caster, and Tank

oak ice
#

You get a ring for completing the entire thing on one role that gives 30% extra exp until 30 and then remains as just a generally useful stat stick until 50

jade quartz
#

There are separate gear set rewards for tanks, physical dps and disciples of magic.

sleek peak
#

Oh cool

jade quartz
#

Recommended to complete on each role for those, they stay viable until like level 30

sleek peak
#

So it doesnt matter at which point i do this?

jade quartz
#

and then the ring is 👌

sleek peak
#

Im currently lv37 but do MSQ at lv30

jade quartz
#

do it when you unlock it

sleek peak
#

Oh ok

jade quartz
#

Which was at level 15

I've been clicking on it for 5 minutes now

#

Well it won't be useful for your current class any more.

#

I wanted to swap to DLC healer/dps class when i can, should i rush all these then?

so won't be useful for that either.

When do you start getting some decent looking clothing/armor? i am at level 22 but look like i jumped into a pile of clothing and jumped straight back out with whatever.

you can get some cool looking gear from hall of the novice at 20, then just keep that as glam till 50-ish when stuff stops looking like potato sacks

what's max level? asking because level 50 seems like a long way from level 22.

But thanks for the advice.

@rustic moth no, they are just an appearance put over the gear

when I enter HW I mean

#

Ehh

#

Keep doing your roulettes each day

lilac void
#

yeh I didnt do them cause I didnt level up

#

i didnt think about needing HW

#

I thought its in the free game

#

and shadowbringers is the DLC

wintry chasm
#

If you go through HW really fast you might get level gated

#

But the best you can do right now is be sure to do your roulettes each day and don't pass up on excuses for xp

#

Like unlocking the optional level 51 dungeon in Heavensward

slate arrow
#

yeah no the latest expac is functionally an "expansion pass"

#

the base game only comes with the base game

lilac void
#

i thought its like WoW

rustic moth
#

@wintry chasm Thanks.

lilac void
#

at 110 and onwards you need BfA

slate arrow
#

this ain't WoW

ebon kindle
#

Its only recently WoW changed to that kind of format

slate arrow
#

and WoW only goes to level 50 now anyways aeroLUL

ebon kindle
#

You did need to buy every DLC except the DLC like 2 ago

#

But yeah its every DLC needs a purchase here

slate arrow
#

no

#

only the latest DLC needs a purchase

#

it comes with both previous expansions as a gift

wintry chasm
#

But that gets you every dlc

#

Feather is right albeit poorly worded

ebon kindle
#

Yeah it's midnight sorry haha

slate arrow
#

It's also an anti-botting measure.

lilac void
#

now I gave up on so much exp D:

slate arrow
#

eh it's not a lot in the long run

wintry chasm
#

If it makes you feel better

#

Patch quests don't give you a lot anyway since it is at the level cap

lilac void
wintry chasm
#

You're probably only like, two levels under

lilac void
#

aight

slate arrow
#

literally one day of roulettes or two dungeon runs will get you caught up in terms of EXP

Hey, is the patch/download speed in the launcher always so crippled? my connection could handle 24 Mb/s but all day only had 2 mb/s

marsh oyster
#

can I just buy shadowbringers or do I need to buy the £40 package with all the expansions?

oak ice
#

Lots of people experience that. So far I haven't seen any explanation as to why it is

#

Buying Shadowbringers will give you Heavensward and Stormblood, too

#

But you need the base game installed

marsh oyster
#

so £10 base game + shadowbringers. Alright thank you.

alpine shadow
#

@queen scaffold i think the launcher shows in MB/s, so if you pay in Mb/s you would have to divice that speed by 8

queen scaffold
#

@alpine shadow u know what you mean i got up to 30 Mbits per second and only get still 2 Mbs from the launcher

#

i mean i have google if people expierience the same stuff, and apperently they do so.

#

Never had back then the problem downloading ff14 on the fly

#

anyways was just out of curiousity D:

alpine shadow
#

i mean, i get 20MB/s when i pay for 500Mb/s

lament wagon
#

that has to be a problem with the launcher

I downloaded the game with 4MB/s

while I download any game on steam with 30+

#

hello, can someone tell me if it is possible to transfer character from legacy server to a standard server

alpine shadow

yes?

hot eagle

probably limited from se, which changes with how many download atm

wise inlet
#

can a newly created character be transfered or there must be some time elapsed before the character can be transfered

alpine shadow
#

no, newly created characters cant be transferred

cosmic pilot
#

@queen scaffold restarting launcher sometimes can improve download speed

alpine shadow
#

you would have to wait 90 days until you can transfer, if you have created on either new or preferred server

cosmic pilot

Btw, is there a beginner guide for healer?

cosmic pilot
#

Thanks, mate

#

One thing I’m still struggling on is making money :/ all I do so far is mining and sell supposedly “demand” item for some gil

#

Does the endgame of making gil is to have DoL and DoH to craft equipments and sell it?

oak ice
#

Spam dungeons, need/greed on everything, decompose and sell

cosmic pilot
#

Decompose?

oak ice
#

Desynthesize

cosmic pilot
#

Again, what’s that? 🤣

oak ice
#

You break down gear into materials

cosmic pilot
#

How?

oak ice
#

By right clicking on a piece you don't want to keep and selecting desynthesize

#

It might need a quest to unlock, I don't remember

cosmic pilot
#

.... how the fuck did I miss that completely????

hot eagle
#

it's a lvl30 quest

#

your crafter needs to be lvl 30 or u cant unlock it

cosmic pilot
#

Oh .. cause I don’t have any DoL 🤣

#

So with said mechanics we basically can have more or less profit by breaking down locked equipments? Locked to character

#

Equipments that are market probihited

What are the most profitable items from gc seals?

dry glade
#

Last I checked, nothing was profitable, but there are some nice xp buffs

#

at least not on mateus.

cosmic pilot

Nothing? 😦

clear lance
#

What's the cheapest source of materia? I've got the quest objective to meld materia before mutamix 8 times, but dont want to waste all the high level materia I've got from msq

lyric warren
#

any hard dates for the 5.2 patch?

hot eagle
#

u can make a lot gil in endgame from doin treasuremaps, best to spam these when they got new items for new glams

#

5.2 comes on the 18th

#

and materia u can get cheap from the market board not like most is worth a lot with how easy it is now to get some

open coral
#

@lyric warren 2.18 is the hard date

clear lance
#

thanks

cosmic pilot
#

and materia u can get cheap from the market board not like most is worth a lot with how easy it is now to get some
@hot eagle how easy? I thought we basically just use said equipments a lot to convert it

open coral
#

You can get battlecraft materia from basically every level cap dungeon

hot eagle
#

lvl80 dungeons drop grade 7 and 8 materia, u can get token for grade 7 and 8 as in need bonus for leveling and alliance roulette

open coral
#

And from your first copied factory of the week

hot eagle
#

wondrous tails can get u some too

open coral
#

You can also buy materia from the Fairy beast tribe vendor and the Clan Nutsy vendor

cosmic pilot
#

Oh wow

#

I kinda want to create new character and explore every thing 🤣

open coral
#

Just explore on your current one?

#

Be all the things

cosmic pilot
#

Yeaa, that too

#

Just need to resub

forest inlet
#

can i just go and try catch big fish or do i need to do a quest before, google said theres a quest but i dont see one where its supposed to be

raw solstice
#

you should just be able to go catch big fish, what quest are you looking at that seems to be required?

forest inlet
#

im guessing its outdated

raw solstice
#

I know it's required for the feast of famine quest but that's about it. It shows up after doing your other FSH class quests

forest inlet
#

aight i did my quests until the stormblood ones, ill finish everything and see if i find something

raw solstice
#

are you sure you don't have it already/didn't do it yet?

forest inlet
#

shouldnt have done it

#

checked my journal cant see it and theres no active help entry on big fishing either which im assuming should exist

raw solstice
#

nope

#

game doesn't really give you any info for big fishing, you just kinda have to go figure it out haha

#

pretty sure it's not gated by anything

forest inlet
#

oh ok

lyric warren
#

is there a way to force doors to be open without the help of a npc standing near in the house?

hot eagle
#

only works if u got the rights to spend fc credits too so not everyone can get these

sturdy mason
#

if I have the rights to use them, can I also buy them?

raven sage
#

those are two separate permissions

hot eagle
#

check your rank in your fc if it's says company credits under actions u should be able to get them

raven sage
#

You would have to check

sturdy mason
#

yeah it does. Cool thanks so much

#

How do I quickly get back to the FC house when I'm in the housing district?

raven sage
#

If the house has an aetheryte you can teleport straight to it

sturdy mason
#

From the teleport ability? Yeah but it costs gil even though not much

#

Just wanted to see if there was a different way

raven sage
#

I mean you can walk

twilit arch
#

if you're in the housing district itself, just use the aethernet to teleport to the nearest aethernet to your house

raven sage
#

You just need to know the ward and plot numbers

delicate elk
#

Can someone give me an idea of what exactly gnb does

#

like its gameplay stuff

#

I see it has a 123 combo

#

and a 456 combo locked behind ammo

#

and then a big hit also locked behind ammo

#

am I missing anything

kind burrow
#

my friend has a problem with his lauching, he is trying to lauch but there is an error appearing saying" unable to complete version check 30419, anyone who can help? he just spent money on buying the game and subscription

stray saffron
#

gunbreaker has a huge burst window that comes up every 60 seconds on the dot. the gameplay is basically timing everything so that you can go john fucking madden as soon as No Mercy is up.

keen nest
#

wtf

twilit arch
#

@tender estuary can you help out Algumar

kind burrow
#

thanks @twilit arch

tender estuary
#

@kind burrow I can help you in a moment playing overwatch

#

sorry

kind burrow
#

yes np

feral marlin
#

so is there a way to scale the UI down or move the action bars around?

#

been forever since i played

#

annnnnnnnnd i found it

#

nvm

burnt spear
#

so I'm looking over the tank classes because I wanna play one, which one has the most buttons to press?

gloomy ice
#

Gunbreaker plays the most like a DPS. Got combos, oGCD attacks, and two DoTs. The other three tanks have similar stuff but not as many and definitely not all at once.

burnt spear
#

I see

#

well aside from GNB, which one of the other 3 is the most forgiving?

gloomy ice
#

They all play the same roughly but PLD has the most tools. Including a full on heal spell. DRK has maybe the strongest mitigation tool in the Blackest Night. And WAR can sustain itself pretty well in a party with Nascent Flash.

patent pendant
#

GNB has the most satisfying combo tho

#

now if only they fix GNB’s Solid Barrel combo SFX

gloomy ice
#

As for which is the most forgiving, I'd say PLD? But it's somewhat subjective as all four can do crazy things in the right hands.

indigo comet
#

so like canonically, in boss battles, are we fighting alone?

#

or would this question go to lore-spoilers?

patent pendant
#

If you read the duty descriptions

gloomy ice
#

With few exceptions, yeah, the story is written as if we've done everything by ourselves.

patent pendant
#

They sometimes stated that you do the duties with your fellow adventurers

indigo comet
#

ah okay, ty ty

patent pendant
#

I think that’s the descriptions for pretty much all Stormblood duties

leaden ginkgo
#

Is Bardams Mettle soloable

rich bay
#

No.

#

Because of the 2nd boss.

gloomy ice
#

Oh right. Yeah that would be practically impossible solo

twilit arch
#

yes it is

gloomy ice
#

Dang lol. Stand corrected.

twilit arch
#

there's nothing about the second boss that requires multiple people

#

not sure why you would assume it did

rich bay
feral narwhal
#

Is there a way to launch FFXIV steam version without steam?

rich bay
#

Add -issteam to the location, afaik.

feral narwhal
#

Oh thanks/

#

Uh one other question - I enabled the setting to keep my gamepad enabled even when FF isn't my active window, but it's not working. Is there a fix for this?

wintry chasm
#

@indigo comet @patent pendant @gloomy ice it's actually a really vague scenario

#

The game almost always comes up with some excuse or straight up reference of not doing it just by yourself and you do always see party members in cutscenes in the dungeon except Castrum lol

#

But at the same time

#

It's hard to buy into some scenarios having multiple people

#

And it's never been said either which way

gloomy ice
#

Journal and occasionally dialogue will mention our numerous "adventurer friends" at times but just as often say that we killed x thing by ourselves.

wintry chasm
#

It's a common question and the answer isn't clearcut whatsoever

patent pendant
#

Bardam’s Mettle is pretty much one of them

#

The lore requires you to do that alone

wintry chasm
#

I mean

patent pendant
#

But you basically cheated it with 4 people

wintry chasm
#

Right

#

WoL is a filthy cheater

gloomy ice
#

Like for Steps 1, the dialogue implies that our forces are bolstered by actual FCs meaning we are canonically fighting with other players at our side if that part is, you know, taken at face value.

#

Although I recall Yoshi mentioning that the scenario is written as if we handle almost everything alone.

patent pendant
#

NPCs: asking WoL to create a diversion in Castrum Albania
WoL: proceed to kill every single one in the Castrum

gloomy ice
#

So which instances we have others and which we don't is still relatively unclear.

patent pendant
#

The only exeception is ShB MSQ dungeons

wintry chasm
#

I just wanted to bring it back up because someone just said "you do it yourself" which is quite not right

#

And there is a big grey zone besides

patent pendant
#

Even Susano’s description says that your adventurer friends “happened to be in the area (Far East)” to help you

gritty flame
#

What's the best way to interact with people in game? I'm used to ESO where you just type "Yo Bitches!" Into zone chat, but FFXIV seems to have a completely different system going on

gloomy ice
#

Zone chat is called shout chat here. You'll see it used most often in the major cities.

hoary cobalt
#

:< when I change to new class , my level becomes to 1 , and I can't do story quest anymore ... How can I lvl up it faster ?

gritty flame
#

Is it a faux pas to shout in shout chat? Or is it something people regularly do?

wintry chasm
#

Hunting log is a very very good way for leveling starting at level 1

#

It's not great for higher levels but for those low levels it's amazing

patent pendant
#

Do hunting logs until you’re done with them all

#

After that prob PotD

#

If you’re a DPS

wintry chasm
#

For general discussions I'd limit it to /say which is a localised chat and /tell which is private messaging. I guess it kinda depends on what you are using the chat for @gritty flame

#

@patent pendant and your roulette

#

And don't do *all the hunting log

gritty flame
#

I'm just looking for other new people to play with, essentially

wintry chasm
#

Again, it's not good for higher levels

#

So like an FC then Snow, people tend to ask for those in shout yeah

patent pendant
#

For tank/healer you can just queue the highest level dungeons that you can take since them both have fast queue time

hoary cobalt
#

... My main quest stopped at lvl 15 .

wintry chasm
#

It didn't stop

hoary cobalt
#

So I can do hunting log , right ?

wintry chasm
#

But yes

#

Do hunting log to get to level 15

patent pendant
#

And continue your MSQ

wintry chasm
#

Mmm

patent pendant
#

They give you enough exp to level up

wintry chasm
#

Kinda

#

On a preferred server yes

gritty flame
#

What's a hunting log?

wintry chasm
#

On a normal not quite

#

A thing you unlock after doing your first class quest

patent pendant
#

Better to use a food item whenever you’re in a dungeon

wintry chasm
#

It's basically a log of mobs and when you kill X of them you get a billion xp

gritty flame
#

Oh cool! I see it! Thanks!

patent pendant
#

Food item in dungeon for a bit of exp boost

#

Im not in FC to get exp boost from them so...

Are pink messages tells??

#

(Sorry, I'm crazy new)

wintry chasm
#

They would be yes

gloomy ice
#

You can use alt + r to reply to them. Alternatively you can type /r before your message in chat.

untold ermine
#

There any way to make the Dialogue bubbles bigger?

#

I’m playing in a smaller screen for the moment and the bubbles are really small and hard to read.

gloomy ice
#

Try right clicking on the dialogue box. I think that's an option but I haven't tested that in a while.

green grail
#

yeah just right click it in a cutscene and scale element or whatever

#

or interacting with an npc, not sure if it works mid-cutscene

lament wagon
#

right click just skips the current dialogue afaik

#

in a cutscene

slow plover
#

I just got both MIN and BTN to lvl 70, and I want to get them a lvl 70 set of gear. Should I get the scrips gear and if so, what's the best way to get scrips ?

green grail
#

yeah scrip gear should be ok enough for the rest of leveling, unlock custom deliveries and do those for a bunch of scrips or just spam some collectables

hot eagle
#

he could try to get to 71 for the npc gear too, should be less of a pain as to get scrip gear for all 3 gatherer

slow plover
#

Is there any particularly good collectables, or should any do the trick ?

raven sage
#

Custom deliveries will give you specific ones to gather

green grail
#

whatever's easy to get and gives a good amount of scrips

slow plover
#

Alrighty

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey. I’m a returning player. I’m looking to play WHM and learn to raid. Intermediate experience. Any suggestions on server?

wintry chasm
#

Any

#

Really, any

alpine shadow
#

any preferred server

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok. I’ve always played Faerie so I might start there.

languid kernel
#

whats the point of mug and why is it a 120 second cooldown

wintry chasm
#

Gives you ninki at higher levels

#

for low levels it's basically just a small dps skill

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a setting where I dont have to click "space" during the voiced cutscenes? So they would just play like a movie?

twilit arch
#

there's an auto play keybind, i think its shift+spacebar to activate

leaden ginkgo
#

ooh that would be neat, ty! 🙂

static yacht
#

why does

#

some low level gear

#

say it gives ?

inner saddle
#

Hi guys i'm a returning player, and honestly I don't remember jack shit of what is where, and apparently everyone in my company is also gone, so now I am the FC master, how do I go to my free company building?

#

just wanna check the chest before leaving it

gloomy ice
#

@static yacht That's aetherial gear. Has random stats.

red bloom
#

Why does Void Ark only give 3 tomestones for the current event? Seems a minuscule reward for a 24 person raid

inner saddle
#

ok nvm I found the company chest, how do I disband a company if I am the only member?

twilit arch
#

talk to one of the OIC npcs at the grand company your FC is associated with

#

they should have an option to disband it i believe

inner saddle
#

thank you 🙂

twilit arch
#

@red bloom because void ark is relatively quick/easy compared to the other instances (in aurum's case people tend to leave because it can get messy fast and don't want deal with it)

inner saddle
#

what'S those items with little shiny lights on them?

twilit arch
#

shiny light?

inner saddle
#

yeah. and the next to the item name there is a logo that looks like a halfmoon+ another small halfmoon in it

twilit arch
#

hqlight oh this?

inner saddle
#

yis

twilit arch
#

it means the item is high quality

inner saddle
#

ayt, does that mean it sells better in the auction house?à

twilit arch
#

generally yes

#

though for some crafting materials, they don't sell that much better since they're so abundant (usually its low level crafting stuff that's not going to sell that well in general)

inner saddle
#

shop selling price is the auction house price? or it's something else?

zinc orbitBOT

wintry chasm
#

The "auction house" is the player market

gloomy ice
#

Shop selling price means it can be bought from an NPC vendor.

wintry chasm
#

where players sell other players thing

#

Shop selling price is yeah

#

That

inner saddle
#

ah I see, thanks!

static yacht
#

for custom deliveries

#

i already gave 3 crafting turn ins

#

but it says I have 6 left

#

are the gathering turn ins separate from crafting turn ins?

#

to zhloey

wintry chasm
#

You can't have turned in just 3 and have 6 left

#

If Zhloe is the only one you have unlocked you should only be able to turn in 6

static yacht
#

I ranked up tho

#

it was 3-3 rank up and now it says 6

#

left

#

ah I see so there are other people

wintry chasm
#

wait wait

#

so you gave in 3, ranked up, gave in 3 more?

twilit arch
#

did you just unlock zhloe

#

because the first rank only requires 3 turn ins

wintry chasm
#

mmm

twilit arch
#

then you should be able to turn in 3 more to her for a total of 6

#

but you have a total of 12 turn ins

static yacht
#

correct

#

ah ok

twilit arch
#

so you can do 6 turns to 2 people

static yacht
#

is there any benefit to glamouring kai-shirr / kurenai?

twilit arch
#

nope

#

just there for you to play dress up with them

wintry chasm
#

(be nice to them thanks)

inner saddle
#

I had 800k company points, so I used them by buying random shit, aka carbuncle round table, says I can desynthesizable at the weaver for 90 points

#

where's the weaver?

wintry chasm
#

Weaver is a class

static yacht
#

you are the weaver

wintry chasm
#

It's not an NPC or anything

#

The weaver's guild in in Ul'dah btw

#

so if you haven't unlocked it there you go

#

and you also have to do a level 30 crafting quest before you can desynth
