i might have misplaced my antiquated abyss set. can i get it somewhere else? its the dark knight lvl 50 set i think

twilit arch
#

abyss is the lvl 70 gear, you can repurchase it from the calamity salvager in any of the 3 starting cities

how to check prices on market place on discord and are they live?

  1. No
  2. Certainly wouldn't

thank you

radiant brook
#

what do i do after this point?

gloomy ice
#

What's your current rank? 2nd Lt?

radiant brook
#

yeah

gloomy ice
#

Talk to Swift to unlock your Squadron and the Barracks. Further promotions come from training up your Squadron.

radiant brook
#

okay thanks

idle salmon
#

can you level trust when replaying story

little walrus
#

is HQ chance before abilities capped for gatherers?

#

even in lvl 63 gear gathering level 15 stuff ive only got 15% chance

gloomy ice
#

There are some passives that make it start higher but for the most part, yeah, it's 15%

i have a question

#

now i'm a conjurer.. but a lancer quest showed up..should i avoid that quest or just do it?

gloomy ice
#

You don't have to unlock all of the classes if you don't want to. They can be safely ignored unless you decide to be a new class.

leaden ginkgo
#

what about other works?

#

for example leather

#

leatherworker

#

or something like that

#

botanist ..ecc..

gloomy ice
#

Crafters and gatherers are a neat side distraction and a fantastic way to make money with the proper investment but they're optional.

leaden ginkgo
#

i wanna make new costumes !!

wintry chasm
#

You'd have to invest a fair bit of time Erin

#

You can't just make everything at level 1

gloomy ice
#

Then it's definitely worth pursuing but it's going to take a lot of time to get there. Crafters have their own exp, levels, etc., and they play much differently than the combat classes.

what's the difference between determination and tenacity?

devout summit
#

hello, anyone using PS4 DualShock 4 controller for PC (Windows 10) ?

#

is it normal for my system to detect it as 'Wireless Controller' instead of "DualShock 4" (as stated by some websites ?), I was curious cause some sites said if Windows 10 did not detect the DS4 as DualShock 4 (as any other devices), I might be getting a fake/counterfeit DS4 controller...

#

it does works on FFXIV though

elder merlin
#

@devout summit DS4Windows

#

Is what you want

twilit arch
#

tenacity is only for tanks, it also reduces dmg while determination is for all roles and only increases dmg/healing done @leaden ginkgo

elder merlin
#

Windows won't recognise it properly in device manager, Steam will tho. Outside of steam games I use DS4Windows, with steam games you can configure it in steam : )

i'm not sure if we can, but if yes, how do equip ONLY the appearance of a set of gear

Glamour FAQ
Info

"What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?"

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests "If I Had a Glamour" in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required to unlock Glamour, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest "Color Your World". You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender and choosing "Purchase Items".

"How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?"

Glamouring is done by right clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to have a different look and choosing the option "Cast Glamour". After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest "Absolutely Glamourous", buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or by buying them from the marketboard.

thanks buddy

devout summit
#

@elder merlin thanks, downloading and checking DS4Windows now

elder merlin
#

Friends, is it worth choosing a server with XP boost/New in ff14 or are they gigadead like in wow?

twilit arch
#

its worth it

#

servers generally aren't that lower in population. duty finder pulls from all servers in your datacenter, and if you can't find something for cheap on your server's marketboard you can always world visit over to another

elder merlin
#

Wait, character isn't bound to a server? POG

twilit arch
#

you are

#

as there are some restrictions to world visit

#

like free companies are still server bound, as if you want a house you can only purchase on on your server

elder merlin
#

I'd like to level up in the xp bonus realm, but later on play on established realm

#

Is that a thing

twilit arch
#

and if you're interested in raiding, most people do cross server statics anyway

#

so even if you're on a small server, you can still find people to raid with

elder merlin
#

I believe that, but if I changed my mind about the server later on, is it possible to transfer the character?

twilit arch
#

yes

elder merlin
#

Thanks brother

twilit arch
#

with real money, ofc

elder merlin
#

How much ~?

twilit arch
#

18$

hoary storm
#

Do you still have the HDD of the old computer?

elder merlin
#

Also, is it worth buying the expansion as I start the game now? Or is the content only starts on high level?

hoary storm
#

All your char info like hud/skills is saved on your computer

twilit arch
#

if you're interested in playing red mage or samurai when you hit 50, or starting the game as au ra, viera or hrothgar, then buying the expansion now might be ideal

#

but other than that, no not much reason to buy the expansion right off the bat if you're not entirely sold on the game

elder merlin
#

@twilit arch I quit wow after being in top rankings of M+ for a couple of seasons, I'm pretty sure I'll stick around 😄

#

Thank you for advice ❤️

hoary storm
#

Skills wise youll have to do yourself, since its ur hotkeys, as for HUD there are some videos on ppl teaching how to make it more clean and practical

#

Just look up something like "FF14 hud layout guide"

#

When I took a break sometime ago felt terrible coming back too, and I had lost all Hud/keybinds so I had to redo everything, but after some time I got used to it again

#

Best thing for hotkeys is putting similar skills on the same place for different jobs

#

Like an approach skill same hotkey for every job

#

This is my HUD for healer with party closer to middle of the screen

#

When I play DPS I put the party on the corner of the screen

elder merlin
#

Friends before I head into the world. Louisoix or Spriggan? (The only 2 with xp buff 😄 )

hoary storm
#

Mine arent particularly big either, so I use only F1-F4

mortal root
#

does this mean i can turn in 10 hq garden beets and that would complete the log

leaden ginkgo
#

Got a question for anyone

It's been a long time since I've done Aether currents and I'm currently helping a buddy get the currents in the HW locations, but for some reason they can't see any currents in Sea of Clouds. We just finished the Dravanian Forelands and he could see those fine

#

I don't remember being barred from currents like that, is there a step I'm forgetting?

hoary storm
#

What does it say when they use the item to locate the current in sea of clouds?

leaden ginkgo
#

For context they do already have a current in Sea of Clouds, a discovered current - not a quest-based one

stray saffron
#

@mortal root you can only do the same turnin once a day

#

and the turnins rotate every day

leaden ginkgo
#

It says there are currents. Did the locations change in the past few years maybe?

#

I can't imagine that'd be the case but I have no idea

dry glade
#

it tells you the general direction and distance in ilms. Just walk that direction, or preferably ride and eventually you should see them.

leaden ginkgo
#

We found one, but it wasn't on the map I was referencing. Location was totally off

#

Yes we understand that, but I was using a map online as reference as it's been a long time and we were trying to do it fast. Seems the maps I found online have them in incorrect spots, but I've found a map with locations that are seemingly correct now

#

So unless all these maps are wrong, not sure what happened or if they changed the locations, but we're good now. Thank you

dry glade
#

ahh, I used a map the first time. The second time I just hit the item while doing area quests. The second way was much more fun.

leaden ginkgo
#

Cool

#

Anyways thanks again

#

If anyone has the same questions I have in future, turns out the locations were changed and I had no idea. Hope someone else receives that answer when asked in future 👍

gloomy ice
#

@mortal root iirc counts each type of turn in not how many they ask for. Been a minute since I did GC stuff however as I’m not training crafters atm.

upbeat storm
#

for the fashion report guides

#

is it 80 points if i just dye or do i need dye and the shown pieces of gear

gloomy ice
#

Dyes, gear shown, and every gear slot filled with something whether relevant or not.

forest quarry
#

sorry for question did the new raid comes with 5.2 or 5.21 ? cheers Kura

obsidian patio
#

5.2

little crane
#

What am I supposed to do?

obsidian patio
#

Only the first raid tier is launched in steps

#

You can technically ignore the whole poking thing and just kill all the monsters

little crane
#

So I need to kill everything?

#

oh

#

I get it now

obsidian patio
#

The leve should tell you the type of monster it wants you to beat up and find the real ones

little crane
#

I dont get it now

#

Am I supposed to use the crystals on the "wicked souls" ???

inner saddle
#

I just started crafting, is it possible to craft multiple items at once, or I need to craft one at a time

#

(weaver)

raven sage
#

You're looking for the crystals

little crane
#

I got them

raven sage
#

aka kill wicked souls

#

Then you're done once you've killed the 3 that have them

obsidian patio
#

@inner saddle you can only craft one at a time

#

There’s quick synthesis, but you lose out on a ton of experience by doing it that way

inner saddle
#

so it's a pain in the ass to craft base materials?

little crane
#

What does that have to do with poking though

#

If I just need to kill everyone

raven sage
#

It wants you to kill the ones that react to the poke

little crane
#

I did

raven sage
#

Did you kill all three

little crane
#

Yea

#

It's just so strange

#

It wants you to poke those that respond, kill them

#

And then kill the ones that dont respond

raven sage
#

It doesn't

#

You just can if you want to

gloomy ice
#

@inner saddle Unfortunately. Quick Synth helps but at that point it's a question of time vs effort.

little crane
#

Wtf do I need the crystals for xD

inner saddle
#

quick synth isn't rapid synth, right?

raven sage
#

It's part of the turn in?

little crane
#

But I can use the crytals

obsidian patio
#

Quick Synthesis is the button by synthesis before you start a craft

inner saddle
#

ah ok, I don't have this option yet

gloomy ice
#

Quick Synth is something that unlocks I think at level 10? It enables you to mass produce materials but there's less exp and HQ is purely chance.

raven sage
#

Ah I see

#

You use the crystals on whatever the other enemies are

#

They're disguised

little crane
#

Yeah just figoured it out as well....

#

It's so strangely written

#

I was so confused wow

raven sage
#

It is

#

Sorry I don't do combat leves often so that was weird to me too

gloomy ice
#

@little crane But it's a mechanic that can be ignored. No need to worry about it since you can just smack everything until you find the target.

little crane
#

Yeah well it made me confused cause "poke and get the crystals"

#

And then no one else reponds to the poke and it doesn't say anywhere to use the crystals

gloomy ice
#

It is strange yes lol

long granite
#

The tutorial in game mentions a newbie network. Is it helpful? How do I get access to it?

raven sage
#

It's mostly the in-game equivalent of this channel

#

You just need to be invited by a mentor

#

Asking around in a main city would be your best bet to get one

can u mix gold fish and cherubfish

leaden ginkgo
#

anyone have any clue why someone would assume you're pulling a prank on someone during a duty? my friend and i are fairly new, but we've done the temple one a few times, this one went pretty much fine, no death or anything. we all had the noob sprout next to the name. our healer accused us of trolling and then i guess blocked me when i tried to tell after to apologize/clarify :-/ not sure if i'm missing some sort of etiquette or what

obsidian patio
#

@lyric warren if you mean the aquarium then yes, as they’re both freshwater fish

lyric warren
#

obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo temple of qarn? If I had to assume then maybe you guys opened some extra doors when they just wanted to clear fast?

little crane
#

Pen some people are just ignorant to the fact that there are new players hehe

#

Like some will go "wtf save LB for phase 3" as if it's obvious to someone trying it for the first time

leaden ginkgo
#

yep, and we did, so maybe-- they asked during the last fight so that's possible. :p but we also let them/their friend take most of the gear so i don't really get it

#

just wish they'd said they wanted to go fast then, would've been totally fine

little crane
#

you really didnt hurt them it's just easy to complain

#

they've probably run it like 500 times so they know what they want and whatever dude

leaden ginkgo
#

makes sense! thanks yall

remote lintel
#

how can I get another katana apart from the one I got from the samurai quest?

#

do certain quests give you them or what

gloomy ice
#

You can find them with vendors who sell stuff at level 50+, on MB, as drops from 51+ leveling dungeons, in your GC shop, or from tomestone vendors.

frozen violet
#

at what level range does pallace of the dead start to drop off and heavan on high becomes preferred?

remote lintel
#

ah

gloomy ice
#

PotD EXP slows a bit at 50 but falls of entirely at 60.

#

HoH can't be entered until 61 however.

frozen violet
#

@remote lintel the sister twins in mor dhona sell a magetek katana that can upgraded to ilvl 130 via poetics stones

#

the ironworks armor they sell isn't SAM compatible tho

gloomy ice
#

It is. SAM is grouped with MNK for gear and MNK has IW stuff.

remote lintel
#

how much is that

long vapor
#

hi there FFXIV reddit is there any easily understandable guides for Summoner? I committed the sin of boosting SMN because I didnt like max lvl RDM and having a hard time understanding it

sturdy mason
#

I was gonna use this recipe to get from level 61 WVR to 70. Will the EXP reward not reset to 10k before I hit 70?

gloomy ice
#

Oh wait no

#

Sorry. I'm all mixed up there. There is a fall off but I don't know where it is. As you get closer to 70, there's sort of diminishing returns.

raven sage
#

@sturdy mason it looks like it drops once you're 10 levels higher than the recipe

sonic sapphire
#

so with my first tank and healer leveling i discovered a lot of new key words which idk about.

What can Esna remove?

What's impervious??

And finally, am i gonna use Repose? or it's suuper niche

raven sage
#

Or at least around that

lyric warren
twilit arch
#

Moonlit Tank Trimmings @lyric warren

lyric warren
#

ah is it 1 set for all items excluding the fish

twilit arch
#

esuna can remove any debuff with a white line over it. you're probably not going to use repose all that often, may be in open world if you pull more mobs than you can handle but generally its not used in dungeons or raids @sonic sapphire

#

ye its 1 set item

sonic sapphire
#

thanks!

#

i'll just assume impervious is "invencible", either way that Gunbreaker CD would be useless

raven sage
#

Superbolide isn't useless

#

It just requires a bit of coordination with your healer

twilit arch
#

ye, impervious means you're basically immune to damage

gritty oracle
#

I used Repose exactly once before when I was running back to the group and accidentally aggroed something right before the shifting sands so I couldn't teleport. But even then I just typed /ac Repose. I think you can safely yeet it from your hotbars.

sonic sapphire
#

okey yeah

#

with immune to damage

#

makes sense

remote lintel
#

is the howling eye (hard) the same as the normal one

slate arrow
#

no

remote lintel
#

well i can't find any recent guides for it

slate arrow
#

story trials are literally faceroll

#

as long as you don't stand in stupid you can't fail

#

(especially ARR trials.)

gloomy ice
#

It isn't too different from the regular one. Only differences are after the phase transition. There are big green tornadoes which prevent you from standing in the middle of the room and two new adds near the end. Both have to be killed but green should go down first. Although, yeah, it won't be much of an issue.

how do you get new venture tokens?

you exchange them?

Some beast tribes sell them too if you

are the 5.2 changes up yet?

by changes do you mean patch notes?

#

Queue for selected dungeons rather than roulette gives company seals?

#

I'm leveling my healer, so it's always instant queue, but without daily the roulette bonus is quite small and the adventurer in need aswell, so unless selecting the dungeons you wanna do doesn't award company seals I think i'll stick to selecting only the dungeons around my level

#

Apart from that, any advice on leveling?

raven sage
#

You should only be doing the daily roulette and then your highest level dungeon

#

The roulette gives the seals but dungeons don't otherwise

sonic sapphire
#

mhmm

#

alrighty!

twilit arch
#

that said, once you're Sergeant 2nd class with your grand company you can trade in dungeon gear for grand company seals

sonic sapphire
#

ohhh

#

time to start rolling greed

Learnin to heal currently. About level 30+atm. I mostly use Cure 1, since it seems adequate enough, but I suspect I'm overhealing a bit.
Also, out of curiosity, do you guys have your heals as the easier the access buttons, or your dps skills?

slate arrow
fresh lodge
#

The party doesn't need to be at max hp

slate arrow
#

I put my GCD gears on my first hotbar and all my cooldowns on my second

stable herald
#

And a kinda vague Q, at what point do you feel you should "heal"?

#

50%?

fresh lodge
#

Depends on the healer

slate arrow
#

you should heal enough so the party doesn't die to the next raidwise

faint flare
#

30% depending on how much they're taking opposed to their max hp

slate arrow
#

if you're not confident, aim for full HP

fresh lodge
#

Some prefer to play it safe while others get it low first

stable herald
#

I'm trying to learn WHM now

fresh lodge
#

Just practice it

#

Don't overthink it

stable herald
#

Because I think SCH is a bit too advanced for me atm

fresh lodge
#

As long as the party isn't dead you're fine for the most part

stable herald
#

WHM is just flat out healing, whereas SCH is more shields?

#

The fairy doesn't really heal much, from what I've experienced

faint flare
#

Its basically a permanent regen thar loves to change targets

#

In a sensr

stable herald
#

And Fae Link is just telling that perm regen to focus one person, right?

faint flare
#

Yes, with a stronger heal rate

stable herald
#

I think SCH feels a bit much since I've just basically been dumped in to learn from the top XD

faint flare
#

That is one factor

sturdy mason
#

if you quick synth with collectability buff on does it make collectables?

#

for crafter

slate arrow
#

you can't quick synth collectibles

sturdy mason
#

usually it prohibits you, or explicitly says on the crafting window

#

it doesn't for this one

raven sage
#

You flat out can't

#

It will say so when you try if you have the ability up

twilit arch
#

if you can quick synth it, it won't be made into a collectable

sturdy mason
#

ah ok

fresh lodge
#

You can quicksynth the item, but you can't quicksynth out collectables

#

So you're just wasting your mats and time by using quick synth

stable herald
#

Generally speaking, is it hard to hit the collectability requirements for turn ins?

fresh lodge
#

No

#

The first tier is easy to hit

faint flare
#

Not if you have sonewhat decent gear and a idea of rotation...its just like HQing stuff

stable herald
#

Im not sure what first tier is, sorry. Am talkin abt Rowena

twilit arch
#

first tier = minimum collectability required

stable herald
#

Ah

faint flare
#

When you hover over turn in, it tells you the 3 tierd of collectibity for rewards

twilit arch
#

if you're going for max rewards, then it can be a bit harder if your gear isn't that amazing

stable herald
#

I'm full Handking gear. Aiming for 70 turn ins

twilit arch
#

but even then you can get away with some stuff since the max collectability is not 100% the bar

#

you should be fine in handking

stable herald
#

Cool beans. Thanks. I was wondering if it is worth aiming for more

Materia & Melding FAQ
Info

How can I get my gear melded?

If you only need melds for visible Materia slots, then any NPC melder in any major city marketplace will do. They're marked on the map with a Blue Materia icon. If you want to Advance meld your crafted gear, then you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

As a rule of thumb, the secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

placid sleet
#

It says an eden grace’s item level is too low to maximize the materias potential

fresh lodge
#

Considering Edengrace is the highest ilvl, thats impossible

obsidian patio
#

Sounds like you’re trying to meld a stat that is already capped

little walrus
#

how do DOL get xp from ishgard restoration?

obsidian patio

They don’t currently

oof. ok

Aside from raw gathering the materials 🤷 but thats no different from gathering other stuff

hardly any xp

floral sonnet
#

question, do I need heavensward expansion as well or just shadowbringers to continue levelling?

#

I pretty much levelled my 70 gatherers to 80 just on raw gathering all the mats needed...and some custom deliveries

#

Shadowbringers gives you everything

alright thank you!

does HQ goldfish look different in the tank?

copper spade
#

boys got a question

#

do you need to buy DLC to hit lvl 70

#

or do you buy latest dlc for 70-80

#

not sure how that works

languid kernel
#

any suggestions on finding a group to help teach me e1s? I tried making a pug but everyone left

fresh lodge
#

If you only have the Starter edition, you need to buy Shadowbringers to get past level 50

whole wasp
#

Soto, you can only buy Shadowbringers and buying shadowbringers gives all previous DLC.
So theres only base game up to 50 or base game + all DLCS up to 80

copper spade
#

kk

#

Btw does that also add more playtime like starter edition or nah

fresh lodge
#

What do you have your PF description set as? @languid kernel

#

@copper spade no

whole wasp
#

Nah. only ARR gives sub time

copper spade
#

ah kk

languid kernel
#

"Learning. Please watch a guide before joining"

fresh lodge
#

Whats the issue exactly?

languid kernel
#

everyone left on the first wipe

fresh lodge
#

Just make another PF then

languid kernel
#

to disappoint 7 more people?

#

just gotta keep trying.

alternatively, you can wait for 5.2 and do e5s

Dungeon as in the 4 man dungeons?

#

Or stuff like Hades EX?

manic oasis
#

i mean for dungeons/raids etc

#

like minstrels ballad

obsidian patio
#

@little walrus should be something like /macrocancel

fresh lodge
#

Yes 100%

#

You should watch a guide for all Extreme and Savage trials/raids

whole wasp
#

@little walrus not specifially but activating a new macro will overwrite the old macro. so you can do a macro thats is just
/e "EMERGENCY STOP"
and hit it to stop all macros

boreal monolith
#

Oh I see, thank you, so in order to attempt those we will need 460, or is 450 also fine?

manic oasis
#

Wynne said no tho 😮

obsidian patio
#

I assumed you meant plain old 4-man dungeons

fresh lodge
#

You didn't really explain yourself well

#

But the answer is yes, watch a guide before hand

manic oasis
#

oh

#

my server has barely any party finder

#

lol, maybe like 6 at a time of random stuff

little walrus
#

FeelsLamiaMan

manic oasis
#

im on Primal

fresh lodge
#

Might just be the time you're playing at

manic oasis

hope so

astral hull
#

Is palace of the dead worth doing for the xp?

obsidian patio
#

If dungeons have a long queue for you, yes

manic oasis
#

what does progs mean?

astral hull
#

My queues usually range from 10-20 minutes

obsidian patio
#

Progression

#

Typically that the group wants to learn that phase of the fight

manic oasis
#

ohh okay so progression through the trial itself

twin kelp
#

do dancer feathers expire

faint flare
#

Nope

#

Unless you change zones

twin kelp
obsidian patio
#

@astral hull that’s usually around the point to where POTD can be better for experience

astral hull
#

Last night I was waiting about 20 minutes in all of my queues so I’ll probably give it a try

green raft
#

if I complete an anima weapon all the way to its lux form and don't discard it, can I buy a replica of the previous form

obsidian patio
#

Yes

#

Pretty sure you’ll be able to buy a lux replica too

green raft
#

neat

obsidian patio
#

Only Zodiac weapons require you to keep the finished relic unless you turn it into the crystals for the first step of the anima weapon

is imperial goldfish not able to be placed in the tank?

little walrus
#

is the item that lets u teleport to ishgard restoration area permanant?

obsidian patio
#

@lyric warren the tooltip will tell you if that fish can go into an aquarium

#

@little walrus as far as we know, yes if you mean the option on the Aetheryte

little walrus
#

uhh no theres a script item

fresh lodge
#

Its consumable

little walrus
#

500 scripts per time u want to go there? jesus

obsidian patio
#

Oh I didn’t know there was a consumable

little walrus
#

im going ishard -> brume -> run down hallway -> talk to dude

#

i cant teleport directly to it

obsidian patio
#

There should be an option at the Aetheryte

#

But yeah, those tickets sound like a ripoff to me

twilit arch
#

Teleport to the firmament shoukd be one of the options at the main aetheryte

faint flare
#

This tbh

jade quartz
#

? It’s not a suggestion Vinyl, that’s how it already is

dim ridge
#

yeah it's not from the small aetherytes but

#

it's one from the big one

light junco
#

Is duty roulette the best way to level up

faint flare
#

How have i not seen this 2think

obsidian patio
#

Leveling, Main Scenario, and Alliance Raid give the best daily experience out of the roulettes

#

Trial and normal raid are fast to run but don’t give much

light junco
#

Alright thanks

near path
#

Is there much point to getting Tomestones before max level? Can I do much with them before then?

faint flare
#

You can buy gear at 50, 60 and 70 and its some of the better gear you can get for those periods

#

They'll last 3 levels (or 5 if you upgrade them) roughly

little walrus
#

how do i block someone on another world if i dont know what world they are on?

#

this one dude has been spamming my FC invites all day and wont stop

whole wasp
#

i dont think you can apply to an FC on another world. they constantly apply?

little walrus
#

oh maybe he is on my world then? idk i tried toblock him but it didnt go through

whole wasp
#

if you know his name, you can look it up on lodestone to see his world

little walrus
#

ah got it. he called me rude when i asked him to stop spamming me invites XD

gentle marten
#

Im trying to get crystals for my anemos weapon is there any reason im not getting them from fates despite doing like 8

whole wasp
#

which crystals? anemos or protean?

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i assign a job to my retainer

gentle marten
#

Im... Not sure anemos i believe

#

Luminous crystals

leaden ginkgo
#

?

remote lintel
#

whats the mechanics of the chrysalis

#

just tank n spank?

whole wasp
#

@gentle marten are you underleveled for the FATEs/NMs?

#

@leaden ginkgo i think you just talk to them from the summoning bell and you can select it from the menu

#

@remote lintel yup. let a melee DPS Limit Break 3 the Aetherial Tear. thats about it.

gentle marten
#

Not at all im over leveled if anything

whole wasp
#

ok. i assumed you synced so you should have a bunch of anemos crystals?

#

which step are you on for your weapon?

gentle marten
#

Yeah

#

First one pretty sure

whole wasp
#

ok good. talk to gerolt

#

look for an option to convert crystals.

#

he should take your anemos crystals and make them protean crystals

#

then you upgrade your weapons using protean crystals.

#

the last step however requires anemos crystals so dont convert them all

gentle marten
#

Im getting crystals for the base weapon. Im making the hw relic

obsidian patio
#

... then why are you in Eureka?

whole wasp
#

eureka content is strictly for the anemos/ stormblood relic weapon

slate arrow
#

The crystals for the ANIMA weapon are gotten from FATES in the Heavensward zones.

whole wasp
#

HW Anima weapon doesnt need eureka

gentle marten
#

Yeah and they aren't dropping from the churning mists specifically

obsidian patio
#

Just gotta keep trying

slate arrow
#

The drop rate is low but not absurdly low like when the Anima weapon patches first came out.

whole wasp
#

i think its 20% last i checked

fierce cedar
#

So my xbox 360 controller's wire is being finnicky

#

So I added FFXIV to Steam as a non-steam game and I'm using my Nintendo Switch controller

#

but

#

for some reason the controls are all wacky

#

my right stick is like the mouse

#

and my select is ZR

fresh lodge
#

The Steam wrapper doesn't work well with FFXIV

fierce cedar
#

is there any way to get the Switch controller to work for the game because I really don't wanna use a mouse and keyboard

fresh lodge
#

Plus you probably need to set up a custom controller profile

warped nest
#

Do you have PS4 controller?

#

Take note that XIV button display for controller matches 360/x1

#

The UI won't adapt for Switch or Dualshock

placid sleet
#

What’s the fastest way to farm materia?

obsidian patio
#

What grade? If you want 7 and 8 then the hunt train is your best bet for combat materia

#

If you want crafter/gatherer materia you’ll have to do collectables

junior yacht
#

🤔 why would the controller UI only match xbox if the game isn't available on xbox?

steep ruin
#

omg why is summoner so hard?!

#

i'm lvl 65 and don't know my rotation, can anyone help?

#

I've ben playing scholar mostly

fresh lodge
#

Pretty much all windows games use Xbox button layout even though they're also on PS4

warped nest
#

Prioritize using Tri-Disaster to apply/refresh your dots

#

Use Dreadwyrm Trance on cooldown, spam Ruin III (or Ruin I, I have no idea what you have at lvl 65) during the Trance

#

Make sure Egi Assaults aren't capped at maximum

fresh lodge
#

You have Ruin 3

steep ruin
#

yes

warped nest
#

Energy Drain + Fester on cooldown as well

torn zenith
fresh lodge
#

But if your dots fall off and you don't have Tri disaster, manually refresh your dots

steep ruin
#

cool thanks

#

i can't wait to get bahamut tho

warped nest
#

Take note that Dreadwyrm Trance refresh your Tri Disaster immediately

#

Your rotation plays around exploiting that

steep ruin
#

okay

#

I've seen the lvl 80 and 70 but when Id ont have bahamut it was confusing

#

or garuda

warped nest
#

For now, just follow these few rules

torn zenith
#

anyone know what a registration code is?

warped nest
#

And adjust your button placements

#

Did you buy the game?

#

If you bought it from SE

steep ruin
#

yeah last month

warped nest
#

From who?

torn zenith
#

no. i heard the game was free until lv 30 or something

obsidian patio
#

You downloaded the wrong launcher

#

!faq gotrial

whole wasp
#

you need to use the free trial launcher for that

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

@steep ruin sorry, that question wasn't for you, XD

steep ruin
#

yeah i saw that after, thanks!

warped nest
#

Anyhow, just follow the priorities and adjust button placements for the time being.

torn zenith
#

thats the same launcher i have. it wants a registration code

warped nest
#

I do advise putting Ruin III and Outburst near each other

steep ruin
#

k

obsidian patio
#

Trial launcher shouldn’t be asking for a registration code. ponder

torn zenith
#

maybe i should uninstall the one i have then?

#

idk

#

it asks if i have an account at the start though

#

and since i have one i put yes, but it wants a code

#

well the installer just uninstalled the other one then stopped lol

#

maybe i was given false information then

#

since the free trial doesnt seem to be based on level

#

well thats annoying

#

cant try the game on computer unless i create another email

#

🙂

obsidian patio
#

The free trial is based on level, the cap is 35

torn zenith
#

well then i have no clue

whole wasp
#

that account already has a sub.

raw solstice
#

so very specifically, "free trial" means you never bought and registered the game to your account

#

the 30 days of sub you get from buying and registering the game is not the trial, but the full game

whole wasp
#

accounts that previously had subs cannot go back to free trial

torn zenith
#

so what do i do

#

can i just not play?

raw solstice
#

you have to purchase sub time to play

fierce cedar
#

Anyone recommend any controllers for PC?

#

My controller broke

fresh lodge
#

Dualshock 4

graceful flare
#

^

fierce cedar
#

is it good for most PC games?

#

I own an Xbox so I kinda wanna be able to kill two birds with one stone

fresh lodge
#

Then just buy an xbox controller

fierce cedar
#

Um

#

There's just one little problem

#

last time I actually had a Xbox One controller, I ended up burning through a bunch of mini-USBs

graceful flare
#

how come?

fierce cedar
#

they break really easily

fresh lodge
#

Then get better cables

fierce cedar
#

I had to keep wiggling them

fresh lodge
#

Or use Bluetooth

fierce cedar
#

any bluetooth recommendations?

fresh lodge
#

A $15 adapter off Amazon

bright badger
#

Is there any point to materia if its gonna be replaced anyways

warped nest
#

It matters for now

#

If you plan to take a break and play again in 2 years

#

Then yeah it doesn't matter much

twilit arch
#

if you're leveling, no don't need to worry about it

bright badger
#

Im at 80

#

I only have mostly as good as facet gear and clearpath

warped nest
#

Just keep em and put them on 5.2 gears

twilit arch
#

at minimum i would put in t6 materia

#

since those are 100% retrieval

bright badger
#

I didnt know you could retrieve materia

#

Good news

red junco
#

So can someone help me on what the heck I should do with my squadron?

#

i have the fresh, starting squadron you get

twilit arch
#

do challenge logs to get a 4th member

red junco

I have one.

This is them

mortal current
#

What happens if you swap GC while you have a lieutenant's jacket glammed. Does it become unglammed?

obsidian patio
#

The glam stays on, but isn’t visible

twilit arch
#

then do training mission for exp/send them out on a mission

mortal current
#

Ahh. Thanks.

red junco
#

well what would be optimal for these hree? They're kinda...all over the board here :V

twilit arch
#

do the training mission that rewards xp, but doesn't change their stats around

red junco
#

uhhh...okay then

twilit arch
#

the stat allocation really isn't something you need to worry about at the start, its generally at higher levels

red junco
#

alrighty then i guess

#

Comprehensive it is

sleek peak
#

Can someome explain how servers work in this game? There are 4 right? If im on eu light i get matched on dungeoms with people only from that one server? I read somewhere they want to put cross-server party finder or did i mix it?

languid kernel
#

i did it, i cleared e1s

#

what a tragedy that was earlier

#

lol

warped nest
#

There are more than a few

#

World is a server

twilit arch
#

Light is a data center, which is a cluster of servers @sleek peak

warped nest
#

Data Center is a collection of World

slate arrow
#

the Xbox One 2.0 controllers are all bluetooth compatble @fierce cedar

warped nest
#

Dungeons and raids are match made inside a Data Center

twilit arch
#

so the duty finder pulls from people from all servers in the light data center

sleek peak
#

Yea but i can get matched on Lich with people from Zodiark etc

#

Yet i cant play with NA/Asia righ5

twilit arch
#

ye

warped nest
#

Cuz they are Worlds inside the Light Data Center

twilit arch
#

you can only play with people in the light data center

#

can't play with people in chaos or aether

sleek peak
#

Ehat about the latter part of the question

warped nest
#

You can't

twilit arch
#

duty finder is already cross server

#

They're hoping to make the game cross data center

#

but that is a loooong way out

sleek peak
#

Didnt they announce they want to rework arr campaign and give cross world party finders

slate arrow
#

5.3 for ARR reword

twilit arch
#

party finder is also already cross server

warped nest
#

ARR campaign clean up is 5.3

sleek peak
#

Also its not crossplay with PS4 right

slate arrow
#

cross datacenter is not for a while

twilit arch
#

it is

warped nest
#

It does

elfin musk
#

how do you initiate a ready check and how do you initiate a countdown

twilit arch
#

everyone plays on the same servers

slate arrow
#

all clients connect to the same servers

warped nest
#

Everything is on the same World/Data Center

#

Unless you are on China or Korea

#

Those two are close off

slate arrow
#

The only clients which are entirely seperate from the GLOBAL release are the Chinese and Korean Launchers

#

which are usually 1-2 patches behind

twilit arch
#

and also have a different sub model

warped nest
#

If you want to, you can use a NA PS4 to play on Japan Data Center with Japanese players who ran their game on PC

sleek peak
#

Still i cant play with Australian friend thats on Asia server righ5

slate arrow
#

If they're on the same JP Datacenter, Yes.

warped nest
#

No

twilit arch
#

you'd need to have a character on their data center to play with them

warped nest
#

/\

twilit arch
#

So if your character is on light, you'd either need to make a new character on their data center or world transfer to it

slate arrow
#

There's no Asian servers, specifically.

#

It's NA, EU, and JP datacenters.

warped nest
#

3, 2, 2 data centers respectively iirc

#

It was 2, 1, 2 and 2, 0, 2 previously

twilit arch
#

JP has 3

warped nest
#

Oh

sleek peak
#

And they want to make ARR rework on 5.3 first (which will happen this year?) and then try cross-server huh?

manic oasis
#

ARR rework as in a new storyline?

warped nest
#

Just clean up

#

So less fetch quest

manic oasis
#

so would it affect people that are past ARR?

warped nest
#

You will get to Heavensward sooner

#

No

manic oasis
#

oh

twilit arch
#

i'm not sure what exactly you're talking about when you say cross server

warped nest
#

Cross DC

twilit arch
#

if you're meaning cross data center, that's not happening for a long ass time

warped nest
#

It is not top priority

languid kernel
#

can i do eden savage as many times as a I want for loot? or is it once a week?

twilit arch
#

you can do it as much as you want

slate arrow
warped nest
#

5.2 Eden Savage would be weekly

slate arrow
#

here's a quick image of how FFXIV servers work

warped nest
#

E1S-E4S can be farmed now

#

E5S-E8S introduced next week along with 5.2 is weekly

slate arrow
#

@sleek peak you can already cross server in the same Datacenter. You can't play on servers in a different Datacenter

warped nest
#

You cannot match made to a different data center.

#

Even if they make that option available in the future

manic oasis
#

can i see people from another server?

twilit arch
#

yes, with world visit

warped nest
#

Other server in the same data center: yes

manic oasis
#

for free?

twilit arch
#

yes

warped nest
#

Yes

manic oasis
#

unlimited?

slate arrow
#

You play with everyone in the same datacenter by default. It's basically just instances at this point.

warped nest
#

There are small limitations

twilit arch
#

!faq worldvisit

zinc orbitBOT

World Visit System
Info

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

More information

warped nest
#

You can't join FC or own houses in a different server

manic oasis
#

ohh okay

slate arrow
#

The "paid" version is the Home World Transfer, if that's what you're thinking about. You use that if you desire to own a House or join an FC on a different server.

warped nest
#

You can do FATE, buy stuff, or party up for open world questing with world visit

manic oasis
#

what can you do with a house

warped nest
#

Decorate it

slate arrow
#

And on the ARR rework, technically it does affect players past that point, namely for New Game Plus. otherwise, yeah, it's irrelevant.

#

Houses are just gil sinks for a solo player. They do have some use, like gardening if you own a House, but for Free Companies, a decent portion of the advantages of having an FC are behind houses. Stuff like submarines and Free Company Actions require a house.

#

(Well, getting Free Company Actions at level 3, that is.)

manic oasis
#

okie

warped nest
#

Don't expect any major story rework

#

Personally, I am expecting them replacing "travel to these 3 locations and talk to NPCs" with "talk to this NPC to get the report on these 3 locations"

twin kelp
#

Can you not target things with the dancer finishes?

whole wasp
#

Standard finish and technical finish?

twin kelp
#

ya

whole wasp
#

They hit for 100% damage on your target if its withnin range

#

Without target,its random.

twin kelp
#

always on the thing i have targeted?

whole wasp
#

Yes. Full damage on targetted. Half damage everything else

twin kelp
#

good to know thank you

whole wasp
#

If only 1 target, full damage ofc

twin kelp
#

right

whole wasp
#

Np

raw solstice
#

few things not quite correct there

#

secondary targets are hit for 25% of the max, not 50%

#

and I'm almost certain it does not care what you have targetted, for what's chosen as primary target

#

and instead it's just, whichever enemy is closest to you takes the 100%

junior yacht
#

yeah the AoE is centered on the dancer, not the target

#

damage is assigned based on distance from the player

crude relic
#

So for MCH how vital is the Rook auto turret prior to getting it's upgrade and when should I use the overdrive ability for the auto turret? I've figured eveything else about the class out BUT the Rook auto turret and it's bothering me >.<

upbeat storm

how long am i sprout?

final Stormblood patch MSQ

graceful flare
#

quite a ways to go

#

think I'm only at around 60 hours

twilit arch
#

@crude relic from my very brief reading, rook is pretty much used when you've got like 70/90 battery and pretty much never use overdrive as it'll go off automatically at the end

crude relic
#

Mmk, so I don't need overdrive on my bar at all then?

twilit arch
#

i would still keep it on, just incase you do need to detonate early (I.e the fight is almost over and rook will last longer)

#

i mean you can toss if you're not that worried about it but if you're serious about playing mch, i'd would probably keep it on for those instances

np

copper spade
#

so any reason of making alts

dim ridge
#

RP

copper spade
#

no caps or anything?

dim ridge
#

caps?

copper spade
#

like X dungeons drops a day or something / gathering limiting of X per char

twilit arch
#

Some hardcore raiders do make alts to get around the weekly lockout

#

and there's hardcore crafters who make alts for more storage/specialist

#

but its a lot effort to maintain alts, tbh

dim ridge
#

so yes there's caps but only at the highest of endgame levels. you won't likely hit them

twilit arch
#

so unless you're like super serious about those things, easier to just have one character

white tapir
#

How do u do the macro command for saying smth like "thank u" when u r being resurrected?

#

okay ty

little needle
#

A class question. How does the richochet ability for machinests actually work? I am also havinf trouble understanding the flying turret and its associated ability when it shuts down.

green grail
#

ricochet's just a damage ogcd like gauss round, except aoe too

#

but you use it in single target exactly as gauss round

#

and the turret is kinda like a dot basically

#

and then a bigger hit when it ends

#

not much depth to it

proper lake
#

Is Savage Coil as easy as other coils if unsynced?

green grail
#

if you're a group of a couple 80s then probably, though T9 can be an issue on both normal and savage i think

potent star
#

I probably already know the answer, but can one get the 15 days extra added to your starter edition’s 30 days if you leveled to 30 in the free trial? Or would you have to stop before reaching 30 and then buy the starter edition and level there for the 15 extra days?

green grail
#

you can either stop at 29 and buy the game and get the extra days, or just at some point in the future when you're already deeper into the game just make an alt on a preferred world and reach 30 on that whenever you feel like it

#

the days aren't gone till you get them

#

your choice when you do it

potent star
#

Ah, thank you
I already got the 15 days, but I bought the Starter Edition around lvl 20
My cousin, on the other hand, will have to wait a few days before being able to buy the game, so I wanted to know if it was safe to take him to level 30 before then

Thank you for the information! It is deeply appreciated!

edgy pebble
#

can flying mounts be used anywhere?

gloomy ice
#

Mounts can not fly in ARR zones but they can in every expansion zone barring cities.

green grail
#

yes, but in base game areas they function as ground mounts

#

all mounts are flying mounts actually

edgy pebble
#

I guess what I mean is can you fly anywhere or only in heavensward areas? I dunno what ARR zone means

gloomy ice
#

Heavensward onward. None of the original zones have flight.

green grail
#

in heavensward, stormblood and shadowbringers zones only, ARR is the base game, so things like the black shroud, thanalan, la noscea, mor dhona, western coerthas

edgy pebble
#

I see. Well I was thinking of buying a story skip so that I could access flying mounts right away. Is it worth using story skips or no?

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ
Info

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

@edgy pebble All that said 1-49 and some of the patch quests at level 50 are a hecking slog, but heavensward content (that is also going to be skipped) is actually really good. So, while I don't really think you need to skip because you'll breeze through all of it in something like a week of average playtime of like 2-3 hours a day, if you decide to do so, I'd still watch recap of A Realm Reborn story and replay heavensward through NewGame+

I don't remeber if it skips Stormblood as well

#

for the doman enclave donations, can i payit all off in 1 donation instead of waiting every week?

white moth
#

I think there's a limit for how much items in gil value you can donate

#

I think it's either 10k or 20k gil a week

#

Wait

shrewd light
#

it stops you at 20k cause they cant reinburce you the extra ammount but it doesntstop me from just donating 300k of those gold bags at oncee

To donate items to the cause, players must interact with the Donation Basket located at the Shazenkai. For every item donated, players will receive a gratuity amounting to a sum of gil slightly higher (120%) than what would normally be received when selling those items to a regular vendor. This gratuity increases (180%) after completing the first phase of reconstruction efforts (120,000 gil donated), and increases yet again (200%) after further progress (160,000 gil donated). The enclave has a limited weekly budget of 20,000 gil used to pay for this gratuity, and as such, players may only donate so many items each week. This budget increases to 25,000 gil, 30,000 gil, and 40,000 gil after the enclave has made considerable progress (160,000 gil, 210,000 gil, and 270,000 gil donated, respectively). The budget will reset every week on Tuesday at 1:00 a.m. (PDT).

obsidian patio
#

donating past what they will pay you is wasted in both gil and progress

white moth
#

Yeah you can only get moneys for those limited budgets

#

So from what I understand you get your budget upgraded each 6 weeks?

#

Or 6 then 3 then 2?

Ventures is a good choice

I would focus on promotions until you hit Sergeant second class first, if you're not that rank

Oh, that too

obsidian patio

that lets you turn in non-white gear in for seals which is a big boost in seal income

since dungeon gear past 50 are all like 1k+ GC seals each

id play healer till 50 and by then you unlock other classes of each type that start at 30-50 to make it less of a slog

warped nest

The only advice we have is... Don't be too over level for your MSQ

hollow needle
#

Healer to 50 makes sense...but rock spam for 50 levels sounds atrocious compared to Hunter/bard. 😞

warped nest

If you find your BRD boring atm, feel free to swap to a different job to do your msq

just bear in mind to unlock the ones that start at 30

you need to reach heavensward

if you like healing scholar is a nice healer too, and it levels the dps summoner class at the same time

I've heard playing summoner is like 4d chess.

Nah

The game is challenging by making you solve mechanics while doing damage

DPS is not hard to master as long as you read and practice

with smn you have a ton of free movement too

If I'm going to dps I like the proc based high APM aspect of the bard. Sounds busy and fun. I'll probably go WHM for a healer. Holy priest in wow is my jam and I like the WHM heal kit.

no, but you might as well finish ARR by the time you get to level 60, if you do your roulettes daily.

twilit arch

no

green grail

you need a lvl 60 character, and ARR ends at 50

#

so no, but also yes

light junco
#

Do duty roulettes only give you exp the first time everyday

dim ridge
#

you only get the bonus the first time

#

so say, you're queuing for leveling roulette. you queue in, you get sastasha. you finish, you get the sastasha exp + bonus exp from the roulette

#

if you did it again right after, you'd get just sastasha exp

#

iirc

light junco
#

Dang

leaden ginkgo
#

what level do you have to be to get involved in the valentines events? i'm new to the game and only level 30

light junco
#

Guess I should just stick with levequests for exp

dim ridge
#

Star, you only need to have beaten the main story quest 'its probably pirates' aka beating sastasha and be level 15

#

meet both criteria and you're set

slate arrow
#

also, levequests dont give much EXP so dont do that

dim ridge
#

Borgar, if you need exp, the best thing is to run the highest level dungeon you have access to. Leves give VERY little exp, to the point they're nearly a waste of time

slate arrow
#

the highest level dungeon you can do will always give you the most exp (besides the 50, 60, and 70 dungeons.)

dim ridge
#

alternatively, palace of the dead is viable

leaden ginkgo
#

@dim ridge ok awesome thank you! could you give me a quick rundown of what the valentines events are like in the game? do we go do a bunch of quests?

do I still have time to get the rewards? (if there are any)

yes

dim ridge
#

You absolutely have time, they're just fluff

slate arrow

the event runs until the 17th

dim ridge

you're talking to some NPCs and giving advice, you get some clothes in return. There's a side event that lets you run a maze with another player, that gives currency to let you buy some housing items/etc

Deep Dungeon Info
Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

obsidian patio

just keep spamming floors 1-10 by clearing and deleting the save

I'm on a trial FFXIV account right now, if I buy the game, is that when I'm able to put in a RAF code?

burnt spear
#

so I played NIN to 80 but I don't like how it feels like the bulk of my damage is in my opener/kassatsu, which DPS class has a more constant/less bursty damage?

sleek peak
#

I assume getting to 51 requires a premade party that wants to get there

obsidian patio
#

nah

#

well, the floor 50 boss can easily wipe the group if people don't dodge, but besides that it's very doable with randoms

#

@heady peak yes

#

@burnt spear for the Melee, Dragoon and Monk feel very consistent in their damage. Black Mage too if you want to be a caster

heady peak
#

@obsidian patio thank you, so if I just buy the starter edition I'll be able to put in my friends code?

oak ice
#

All DPS classes have "burst phases" that line up with raid buffs and then go into more consistent damage

obsidian patio
#

yep, you got until you have to pay for subscription

oak ice
#

Which is when your oGCDs are available, motsly

#

BLM would probably be the least bursty

burnt spear
#

yeah, I'm aware, it's just that on NIN aside from opener and kassatsu between TCJs I just press like 4 buttons normally

#

I remember DRG and MNK having 3 combos to go through but that was way back in early HW

#

so I have no idea how they work now

oak ice
#

That's how the game is set up, when you're not pressing oGCDs, it's the same combo over and over
