...if you're that far in main story
Is it bad that I am overleveling my main job with goldsmithing atm? π
not really, considering crafters are way easier to level
Also, can I somehow decompose all these rings I just made? Or do I just vendor the copper beauties? π
Once one of your crafters is level 30, you can do a quest to unlock desynthesis
Gone to Pieces in Ul'dah
That's huge
You also have to have the MSQ done up to at least level 20
Yeah, I get that, even tho I wanna craft all day instead π
Where can i buy Samurai gear?
for what level
Maybe stuipid question, but atm I am level 22 and I am playing Conj I was thinking of switching to Arcanist so at lvl 30 I can play as scholar, now I am curious cuz I am leveling with my bf in Gridania as he is lancer and i am conj we started at gridania xD
So question is if I switch to Arcanist does that mean my quests will be in limsa lominsa? Or can i still level with my bf in Gridania? Idk if this made any sense lmaooo I am new to the game x-x
your msq will continue in gridania
The class quests are in Limsa or the areas around but your MSQ is only different till level 10 of your first job since you can switch classes on a dime
Ohhh okay :x Thank you there is a lot of things to learn here looool xD
That's not exactly true
Your main story will be in Gridania until level 15 main story where you go to the other cities and the MSQ merges together into one
If you want to be arcanist you have to wait for that point anyway since you can't travel it it before hand due to it being on an island @leaden ginkgo
So by the point you can even get arcanist you're MSQ will get out of the Gridania only main story segment
The annoying part would be leveling arcanist back up to level whatever you want from level 1
So I can make new character and itβs same thing as changing class basically since I will be level 1 either way?
not quite--MSQ is a per-character thing, so you'd have to start from fresh. And you can't take advantage of armoury bonus
!faq armouryexp
'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.
what do you think about dancer dps? is it any good?
DNC dps is pretty good, and brings some strong buffs so their overall rdps in the group is solid
So if I switch from Conj to arcanist Id get some exp do I understand it correctly? X:
dancer DPS is busted at level 50, average 60, pretty alright at 70, drops off at 80
you get a 100% boost to most mob kill EXP and some EXP rewards.
you'd get 100% bonus exp on arcanist until you catch up with your conjurer level, yeah
Oh okay thank youuu
drops off at lvl 80? you mean become bad?
not bad, really
no but it's main use is being support for the other DPS
just not as OP as it is while leveling
like, the jobs aren't balanced around leveling dps, DNC has a lot of strong stuff while leveling so they're quite strong
but when every job gets their whole kit and jobs get to where they're balanced (around max level), DNC personal dps isn't as OP as it is when leveling
it's still good damage, and the buffs they bring make up for their personal dps being a bit lower
but it's not like they do "bad damage" or anything, by any stretch
because i like the movement free of the range physical dps, but i don't like the "must apply poison" thing, machinist is pretty solid, but dunno, feel simple, and no proc at all o,o
and about caster... well, i very dislike casting and standing still, i feel it so fustrating to have to move without being to cast thing
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
when aoe are coming
All 3 have their upsides and downsides.
Before Stormblood, Bard actually had to cast attacks.
It's more or less what are you willing to take for the advantages your job gives you.
well, i liked the dancer, as being (when casual no brain playing in roulette) just press thing glowing xD
Yeah, well, when in savage and ultimate raids, turning off your brain is a easy way to deadtown.
Sure you have less to do with buttons but you have more responsibility in terms of mechanics because you don't have to hug the boss's behind.
are there any freebies/codes to pick up as a new player? (apart from the RAF bonus)
Not really
thank you
Can someone help me with finding PLD job quests? I cant seem to find it anywhere
I did this one but i dont have acces to the next one?
If I'm currently playing an archer and level 38, should I change over to bard or continue going? I can't see any skills to gain anymore and I didn't get a job quest at 35. Am I wasting my time if I get my archer up to max?
Always change to the associated job at 30 where applicable
Otherwise you'll be missing out on a ton of skills and utility
And you'll make people angry
archer will level along anyway
Alright. I realised in a dungeon that I wasn't really doing much damage wise compared to the other bits I was seeing. Thanks guys!
Hi all - I just started playing on a free trial and was hoping to maybe get invited to some sort of linkshell or novice network on Famfrit. What's the best way to do that?
Unfortunately, free trial accounts are not eligible to participate in most of the "social" aspects of the game, including linkshells.

they can get invited to linkshells i'm pretty sure
You can, however, try asking in /shout (/s) chat in any major city if someone can invite you to the novice network
it's just quite rare to find a social linkshell
Ah ok
most just use it for tracking hunts and stuff afaik
Free trial has weird restrictions
It's totally worth it.
Enjoying playing but its silent!
This is an awesome game.
if free trial didn't have these restrictions we would have even more rmt bots
I tried trial amd honestly disliked the game, but now bought complete edition cause I really wanted to get into and I love it xD
sending tell just never ever works
Yea, I'm enjoying it enough to not be working right now and second guessing my starting class and doing all sorts of reading
so thats usually a good sign
Don't worry too much about your starting class.
Well swapping really early is easy
You can freely change to any other (unrestricted) job once you've completed the level 10 class quest.
Just level everything 
So, any other job Aura
No
Because expansion jobs are "restricted" by level
sorry job
Mostly but not entirely Aura
I honestly don't give it much thought, most of the time
In most context, during discussion, job and class are interchangeable
One day it will be job from level 1
Where can i buy Lv50+ gear?
Hello all just wondering best place to level from 66 - 70 for story Quests
Leveling dungeons from the MSQ, and @sleek peak Mor Dhona has a vendor where you can buy Ironworks and it should last till lvl 55 before it's outclassed
Yea i cant enter the dungeon because im not iLv45
@sleek peak Your class artifact gear (left side minus belt and weapon) should be sufficient to increase your ilevel if you haven't gotten it already.
Unless you've got some really low ilevel accessories and weapon equipped
Well my accessories are low level
What level are they?
O H
Buy Ironworks gear
He can't
do your jobquests should give gear with enough ilvl
Buy GC gear
Find the Jeweler
Purchase rings and earring appropriate for your level.
You're still using the Brand New Ring
Well i lack 2 job quests at this point
your job quests will give you i90 pieces of gear
Will do them and go to jeweler as you mentioned
Go do the job quests first
Just do the job quest line they literally give you gear at 45
That will do a lot for your ilevel
and then more at lvl 50
@gritty oracle Also what did you mean with walkthrough?
hey, just got the blessed fieldking's hatchet, but it's not glowing. Is there something special I have to do with it?
buying/upgrading ironworks gear can be a bit roundabout/confusing your first time through it
They were volunteering to explain exactly how to get Ironworks gear
especially for weapon, and for upgrading the gear
Upgrading Ironworks gear is a massive pain
@slow plover it doesn't glow all the time, only when you're using it
Have to go all the way out to the boondocks of Gridania
Oh, it's only when you use it, not when unsheathed?
Damn, that's kind of disappointing
you can sort of make it glow using the /sit glitch but you have press it to make it glow
nah like in the case of these I'm pretty certain it only glows while gathering, not just when unsheathed
so the /sit glitch wouldn't work for it
rip
Damn

If I get a quest like "Use the DF to enter X" and I do X unsynced with a smaller party, will I get the quest objective still?
Pretty sure it is a yes
it's a yes
It only looks for instance completion
It doesn't care if it's synced or unsynced
mmhmm, since even if you go unsynced, you're still using "Duty Finder" to enter the instance
The only times you can't do a dungeon or instance unsynced is if the quest specifically says you can't.
Which is vanishingly rare
Pretty sure that's non-existent.
I think there's like, one or two quests I've encountered that require you to run the instance synced for credit
Oh
I know what I'm thinking of
They were probably job quests which use story instances.
Yeah
Which you can't unsync.
FCs are bound to servers not data centers right?
correct
as samurai is it better to do the full combos to fill the sen gauge or do the aoes to fill it faster and spam iaijutsu?
single target for single target, AoE for AoE
don't use AoE combos for single target just for the sake of iaijutsu
!faq
preferable to use #kupo-bot-spam for random bot commands
oh sorry
np, im removing this
so where is the best place to find glamor at?
I'm 73 and want to start investing time into the fashion of things, but I just don't really know where to look or how to go about it
there is https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/ for a gallery
Eorzea Collection is where you can share your personal glamours and browse through an extensive collection of looks for your Final Fantasy XIV character.
or you can just browse the marketboard
and try on all the armor/gear
Or sort by level 1 gear on the market board and preview stuff
hi guys
is level 1 stuff mostly glamor I take it?
is there a nice fc related to this discord group?
ahh oke
anyone knows a nice fc for a newbie like zurango?
and when in a fc, how can i join the ingame chat :p
Once you're in a FC, you'll have access to the FC chat channel
@zealous smelt yes, although that doesnt mean leveling gear cant look good
thx aura
interesting
i joined 2 fc's
You can only join one FC at a time
but when trying to chat it says invalid command
Are you sure you didn't join communities?
You haven't joined any FC. if you joined one, your nameplate would have changed to include the FC tag.
Yeah, those aren't FCs
Is it possible for people to solo carry through Castrum Meridianum / Praetorium and overall lv50 things?
If you look at people's names in game, you'll see them formatted like: Aura Astra <COG>
<COG> is the tag for my FC
@sleek peak yes, but with the cutscene restrictions it's not really worth getting an unsynced group together. That's what MSQ roulette is for.
Fellowships are sort of bbs communities, they're common interest groups.
MSQ roulette?
FCs are what are called guilds in other games.
They're more permanent communities tied to your server.
Well i want to quickly get in and out these MSQ's and carry on with Post-ARR quests ._.
Ah, both Castrum and Praetorium are both in their own roulette exclusively for those two instances due to the fact they're the only 8 player dungeons in the game, and the excessive story related cutscenes within.
It was normal for sprouts to not be able to see any of them due to rude players.
oh all trials/bosses are 8 man
But Castrum and Praetorium are the only 8 person dungeon instances.
soooo its time to search for an fc tied to twintania
There's no in game recruitment board for FC
who alouds an super newbie like moi
if you just /shout in the major cities, im sure there are plenty of FCs that need bodies
Just hang out in limsa and ask around.
Hang out in any of the three major cities and watch /shout (orange) chat
People will advertise their FCs there all the time.
I will guys! adding it to my quest log π
If you see an ad that appeals to you, send a PM to the person advertising to request an invite.
im at the center of limsa atm
but there isnt any chat activity at all
like non
have this problem for a while now π«
okay so follow up question on glamor, is there some sort of tool that I can use like an online glamor builder before I go out and start spending gil on stuff?
@woeful basalt it's still the work day in the EU mate wait a few hours
haha my patience level is waaaay to low, srry
Sorry to interrupt and thx for the info peeps!!
@zealous smelt you can try to do it ingame using "Try on" but might be hard to do it with dungeon gear. Alternatively, you can just google the name of the items and look at it in gamerescape. i dont think a simulator exists that you are thinking of.
so it does. Nice!

I have a question about PLD rotation. I saw on the sub that the AoE rotation is Total Eclipse > Circle of Scorn > Prominence. I would've thought you'd want the DoT up for longer. Is it because TE and Prominence are on GCD and CoS isn't?
yeah, as a general rule of thumb you want to try to weave oGCD between GCD, since that's time you're waiting for your next GCD anyways
Circle of Scorn is an ability with a cooldown.
That makes sense.
@whole wasp maybe worth a pin or at least a bookmark shrug
ah, its in the wiki. i just never noticed.
r/ffxiv: A community for fans of Square Enix's popular MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV Online", also known as FFXIV or FF14. Expansions include β¦
nice!
hello i have a question
i have a quest called the lavender beds.. take a jurney to the lavender beds..
how can i go there?
In New Gridania go to the pier in the northeastern part of the city (I think the Leatherworker's Guild is the closest aetheryte shard) and speak to the Ferry Master.
He will give you the option to travel to the Lavender Beds districts.
I don't think you can go to lavender beds if you haven't finished the quest
The quest tells you to travel there @slow plover
Yeah but you have to go from central shroud iirc
Oh, it might be central shroud
was novice network chat always just ppl arguing with eacother
i feel like it wasnt couple years ago
its basically a shout chat
just 2 mentors bickering
varies per server but yeah pretty sure it's same as always
you'd better off asking here
By the way, what's the text command to focus my focused target
I know the argument is <f> but I don't find the command
/target <ft> ?
alright it's /target <f>, thanks haha I just swapped my launcher's language
had to change all my macros
Hey! I'm doing post heavensward quests, and they are giving A LOT of chests with full ser visual armor (hellfire, torrent, hailstorm, etc)
Can i get those from any vendor later on?
Yes
I'd like to get a few that aren't aviable rn cuz i can only select 1 from each quest
ohhh, amazing!
The poetics vendor in Idyllshire has the Torrent and Hailstorm gear, iirc
Not sure about hellfire
hellfire too
@jaunty matrix had similar exp , I left and I just ask here instead or friends
There you go
Your NN experience will vary depending on server/datacenter
For example, the NN on Elemental (JP datacenter) is very good about supporting new players.
I feel zodiark >twintania (where I am now) imma switch later on
Twintania is new so alot of memers there. Odin is ok too. We mostly talk about how much we love namazus
I agree smug, running for the zodi hills
I was surprised that there was a mentor on Jenova named Bro Job and wondered how he got there and didn't get reported for his name
nice
Does the Β£10 base game come with heavensward and stormblood?
You specifically need the "complete edition" to get all the expansions at once
There are some versions that only come with ARR, so you need to look at the product info and make sure
Does it matter if I buy it on steam? The complete edition is cheaper on steam
yes, ish. If you buy on steam, you must buy the rest of the expansions off steam, no exceptions.
However if you buy all expansions off steam anyways you're probably buying them on launch and there's like no sales then

I have a question on Chocobo Breeding, do I need to worry about inbreeding the Chocos before getting one to Pedigree 9? At Ped 3 and already have some 4 star stats
only those two jobs.
OH
oh, i see
Having classes branch off into different jobs was something the dev team played around with initially
But ultimately they stopped after SMN and SCH
Where can I find crafting rotations for lvl 70ish ?
oh, too bad ^^
Should I queue for duty finder in steps of faith?
Is this the big 1 hour dungeon I've been hearing about?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TKBPwAl1JFLXe2v3Po4CydMYF1wqViOmMzWh06HSNyo/edit#heading=h.ftsk1sc1s2on @slow plover has rotations for 1-70, though you might need to play around with the rotation themselves if you don't meet stat requirements
steps of faith isn't that long, not a dungeon either. its a trial
Oh ok
Thanks @twilit arch !
you already did the 1hr dungeon, it was praetorium
Returning noob here. Back when I played, crafting profs had cross-class skills such as Byregot's. It seems they did away with those, but when were they reworked?
5.1
They made the cross class skills that were absolutely necessary, baked into the classes themselves
I like that change. Encourages people to specialize in only a few DoH rather than be omni crafters, which was undoubtedly bad for the economy
you're still probably going to omnicraft anyway
unless you really want to buy materials from the marketboard
but its easier to get away with focusing on one or two now
In theory, if they make crafting easier to get into, it should drive down the cost of materials, although that likely isn't going to happen any time soon. I feel like I should be focusing on WVR, BSM, LTW just because those get access to the most crafting gear recipes, but in the end crafting in this game feels like an endless pit with no returns
Not that I was doing it strictly to make a profit, I think the crafting system is fun even if it boils down to copy-pasted macros
Out of the starter melee dps jobs, is any considered easier then the others? I dont really plan on end game raiding and not looking to memorize a million things if possible.
just enjoy the story leveling etc
lancer is probably less complex than pugilist because Monks care more about positioning
what about ninja (i have a level 14 or so BLM so I could go that way also)
or rogue rather
Do you get starting armor when you choose a DLC class that starts at lv50 like SAM?
Having to enter Mudras sounds like a pain in the ass, personally
Yes Bongus
It says i should get a coffer with armor but i have no armor for that class at all
I only got the sword
fair enough lol
did you open the coffer
Nvm i need to use it
Im too tired at this point lol
Thanks
It works like that for every class at level 50 right?
@twilit arch So, some cross class skills still exist? Just not Steady Hand 2 and Byregot's?
No
Any other rewards you get at points with Job quests?
no
Achievements and titles
Skills
Well
and skills especially
At level 50 with A Realm Reborn jobs you get the ilvl 90 gear
Heavensward jobs naturally don't get anything till 60 since that was the level cap of the expansion they came out in
they give a generic set at 50
is bard more than just spam heavy shot
yeah theres the songs but does it ever change
Spam heavy shot and sometimes RA
heavy shot/burst shot are your main filler
but you've got a bunch of other things to worry about at higher levels
is hard to get firebird?
the main trouble with getting firebird these days is finding groups to run the HW ex's without falling apart after a few runs
@digital ice hey! to answer your question in #676453658317029386 . this is already in the settings menu. just have to enable it.
@upbeat storm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIPoETfiw-k if you want to see the rotation at 80 in action. bard is mostly about weaving, tbh since you've got a fair number of ogcds
@digital ice sorry I'm at work atm but when I get home I can.
Ty so much
Is it possible and is it worth to rush to Lv60 just to get Gunbreaker/Dancer instantly after completing ARR? I didnt get into Post-ARR much, like 10 quests

if you have the preferred server buff you'll get to 60 without much effort
just keep doing the story and then pick it up when you get there
Can one play with an entry level 1030 graphics card?
you'll have to lower your settings, but yes, the game should be more or less functional
Well Post-Arr story gives almost no XP
hello guys.. a question
how costumes works?
how can i find them ingame by players?
how long does alliance raid roulette take on average?
~20-30 mins
to finish the raid right? I didnt mean the queue
yep
thx
pfffftt >< oh ok ty
arent the namazu supposed to have more than 3 daily quests after you reach trusted?
How long does it normally take for online item databases to get updated after a patch drops?
Turn off pop up text under character config > ui > hud iirc
When does the event end?
Feb 17th
Alrighty
which one?
getting the best gear requires doing Savage fights
getting gear that's "good enough" is fairly easy, and can be easily maintained across multiple jobs
tl;dr
i400-420: fresh level 80, just finished the Shadowbringers MSQ
i430: grinded out the first level 80 ShB dungeon, as well at gotten the i430 gear from the guy in the tempest.
i440: Ronkan Gear for Goetia tomestones
i445: The Grand Cosmos Gear, Left side Only. (MSQ Dungeon.)
i450: Eden Normal/Crafted
i460: Nier Alliance Raid, Augumented Crafted, Phantasmagoria Gear
i470: Augumented Phantasmagoria, Savage Gear
i475: Weapon Only, Eden 4 Savage/The Epic of Alexander
you basically spam the LFR/easy version of the raid until you get good enough gear through that RNG to do the most difficult version
It's difficult to get best in slot but after a few months at the most the game lets you play catchup
Since the highest stuff is weekly capped
@sleek peak you have tons of daily duty roulettes after ARR base game. I got a few lvl60s and I'm at the beginning of HW

when I put signs onto random items
am I not able to see it
or am I doing it wrong lol
I wanna say they're only for things with healthbars
You can only put those markers onto objects in the world.
You have to be able to target them first, and then you press the sign to apply the sign.
@mint shale I probably missed a lot since i have only 2 roulettes at lv52 ._.
I thought I dragged the icons
Time to visit places and do blue marker quests
at 50 you should have Trials, leveling, 50/60/70, guildhests, alliance raids and MSQ if you have completed the full ARR 2.0 story
tl;dr: 50/60/70: gotten upon unlocking two level 50, 60, or 70 dungeons. Comes with the MSQ since there's a few required level 50 dungeons, I think.
Leveling: Unlocked via MSQ.
Trials: unlocked when you have multiple level 50 trials. Required to get since you have to unlock various hard mode trials for the MSQ/
You will be stuck with just leveling/guildhests if you have not completed 2.0
Mor dhona has quite a few hard mode dungeons
Im now at Post-Arr questline
MSQ: unlocked upon unlocking The Praetorium
That would be why
Time to do more trials
oh "now" not "not" you have to do the content the roulette falls under, so lvl 50 dungeons, the 24-man raids and go through more of the story for the trials
here are the ones you can unlock
it's literally just "unlock two or more instances that fit within these criteria"
there's a normal raid roulette too
Do your blue marker quests you should unlock more lvl50 dungeons. Few in mor dhorna
Trials from waking sands?
How is there not enough trials for roulette in arr msq?
yeah you get level 50 trials from urianger
Because there's only one trial up until the Praetorium, and that's Cape Westwind.
they're also required in the post-arr questline
You have to do Ifrit (hard) Garuda (hard) to access Titan (hard) from MSQ I know that much
All the trials below level 50 are in leveling roulette.
Ohh
The leveling ones aren't true trials
they're considered dungeons since they're 4 mans
is astrologian worth playing or is white mage/scholar just better?
Depends on skill level, no plan, no brain, WHM main
whether astrologian is worth playing is up to you. the difference between them isn't that significant that you would be holding your group back by playing ast
but that said, ast does have a work a bit harder than the other two
Both are just better at Regens/Shields respectively. You can effectively play AST as a weaker White Mage and still do reasonably well.
AST is a trollpick??? Omg I was levelling one as my first healer. I'm gonna have to stop?
It just lacks the Big healing tools both WHM and SCH get in exchange for cards.
no
Before, AST used to be better than White Mage by a large margin. It's a pretty slim margin now, at the cost of removing a lot of the tools the other healers had before Shadowbringers.
right so white mage is better then. got it
Not entirely
whm is a lot easier
but a good ast is pretty powerful in its own right
WHM is the reactive healer, SCH is the preemptive healer, AST is the "I get to do either but not as well hey have a buff card"
you can clear any and all content plenty fine on any job, AST is pretty strong still, just not as good at brute force healing like WHM can be. But it does have cards, neutral sect is a very powerful tool that's basically "press this button and people live through the mechanic". It's a different healer job, not especially a weaker one
there is no job in the game that is bad or unviable or a "troll pick" or anything
!faq meta
You can have bad WHMs, it's super easy to play SCH poorly, AST just shows how badly you can heal early on due to the lack of "oh shit" buttons.
So I have this problem that happens completely erratically, When I type a /s or /t and am sitting or doing some other persistant emote, when I hit enter, it breaks my emote. Anyone know why?
I want to try dark knight but never tanked before. is it hard to pick up?
it's a bit on the rougher side since it lacks in personal migitation until level 70, but it's perfectly serviceable otherwise.
how come ability wont display in gpose? any clue?
I do not recall this happening ever. Is there a reward difference if I choose easy/very easy?
it happens if you fail the duty once, and no there's no difference
recent addition, and no change iirc
I don't recall solo instances ever having a reward
fail duty once
cries in old healer pains
It's useful if you just wiped to a fight and hated it and just wanna clear dammit
Easy mode just gives you a echo buff so you can just facr roll it
the question is answered, really don't need to add personal commentary
I'm trying to make a screenshot, and it keeps saying "Screenshot failed"...
And what does Very Easy mode do?
makes the solo instance very easy
very very very easy
What should I do while waiting for dungeons so I can level up? I'm dps so queues are long
@half pulsar Maybe lack of space? XIV not having administer privileges?

You can do beast tribe quests or fates or something like that oRy
fates never give me much xp but beast tribe quests seem good
i forgot where they arte tho
depends what one you are referring to
oh wait i got fates and leves mixed
fates don't give much anyway
but it's still something to do while you wait
and at least with Shadowbringers there are pretty good rewards for doing them

@wintry chasm I remember unlocking one but I can't remember what they're called
Oh God, can you maybe boil it down to what expansion it was?
That way I can just list them all for that expansion
what can i do with that ?
Spend it for what is basically the best gear at levels 50/60/70
For level 50 you can buy ironworks gear (ilvl 120) in Mor dhona by going up the hill and going to the two women in the tent to the right
Oh
7-72?
I assume you're done with Stormblood right?
I think it was base game Cali
Once you finish that Stormblood base story
you can buy the level 70 scaeven gear at Rhalgr's Reach
ok
Sylphs = East Shroud
Sahagin = West of Western la noscea
Amal'jaa = southern thanalan
Kobolds = outer la noscea
Ixal = north shroud
@leaden ginkgo ty
how do you unlock them again?
the ARR beast tribes are unlocked in the area's city's grand company
for example Sylphs would be in the Gridania GC since Sylphs are in the Twelveswood
Does buying Shadowbringers get me all past and current content? New player. I think I'm in after playing trial to 20. I love all the "new" ahead of me.
Buying Shadowbringers would give you everything but the base game
Aka it'd give you all the expansions
If you want the base game AND the expansions in one you'll want the complete edition
So...complete edition is mandatory.
normal raid miscellany is useful for something?
Or you could just get the base game (starter edition) now and get Shadowbringers later
You mean the items you get from the chests? @long charm
What level does starter take me to?
50
50
What happens to my trial account if I buy shadowbringers but not starter edition? I'm a blizz baby.
I'm not even sure if you can register it
K. Thanks for clarifying.
@wintry chasm i think so, nails, rings, wood
Frankly I've never seen anyone try
Well if it is what I'm thinking you just trade that in for the actual raid gear @long charm
Where you trade it depends on the expansion raid
Precision Gordian Spring, Tarnished Gordian Bolt
raid gear, hmm...
In the big building with the 3 ladies
yshtola minion does something special?
both versions?
Both versions
all three

Do i get anything for doing the level 80 job quest?
A title
Materia
That is your aetherflow gauge, you should not get rid of it under any circumstances
ight how do i move it then
In system menu -> HUD layout it can be moved, resized, or changed to a simpler design
Thanks!
Recommend you customise your HUD overall
is there mods and stuff for this game like WoW and ESO or naw?
The default HUD is pretty bad, and two hotbars is too few to actually play jobs at cap
Things like that are unsupported and against the ToS
But a smallish amount of people do use aesthetic mods
There is a parser which is used by a majority of raid teams but it is a donβt-ask, donβt-tell situation ingame and calling out others ingame for their low DPS can easily lead to GM action for harassment.
Addons to help indicate mechanics like in WoW are extremely frowned upon and where they do exist SE take steps to combat them. They have a hard stance against such things and the community in general will also judge users of them very poorly. Things like that will not be shared in this Discord.
This game is not balanced around addons like WoW.
You won't find a need for them generally even at endgame. The game does give you the tools you need except for an in-game parser but that's a whole other story, like Lyon said
If I had to do a TL:DR of that:
So long as the add-ons don't give you an advantage and it's not NSFW SE is just about okay with it kinda so long as you aren't an ass with it
your aetherflow is a resource that's MUCH more useful/important later into leveling that job
is there no Miasma II on summoner?
you'll wanna know where it's at at any time, and as a result, it'll be something you eyeball often
no @languid kernel
are there certain pets with summoner that people never use? namely summon 2, but maybe summon 1. I leveled scholar so I have no idea how summoner works atm
general rule of thumb is: garuda/emerald for AoE/trash, ifrit for single target/boss fights, titan/topaz is a bit more niche and you use him if you need the extra mitigation
probably won't use titan that much but the shield is really nice so i wouldn't completely ignore him
Iβll piggyback off of the earlier answer about 2 hotbars not being enough: I play on PS4 and I can only have 2 out without having to swap mid-fight. Is that fine or does it depend on the class?
i know from paladin you need 34 slots to fit every ability'
I just do happen to play PLD lol
In most cases, it's fine. For others, like yeah, PLD namely, you'll need more.
I canβt really manage switching mid fight
Are there skills I can afford to take off?
One sec
Go to Character Config > Hotbar Settings > Custom. If you're playing on controller, you can and probably should turn on both Expanded Hold controls and WXHB.
I do that already
Gives you 48 slots without having to change.
Here's what I have mine set to. You don't need to copy this exactly but it's how I can access three bars at once.
When set to crossbar 1, this allows me to reach 2 and 3 with the double taps and alternating holds.
It takes a bit of practice but it's much faster once you adapt to it.
With expanded and wxhb you can fit all skills in with several redundancies and have space for food, pots mounts and tps
regarding the call back campaign. Does someone know if the end date only counts for until when you can make use of the 7 days of free playtime (for example, you use it on the 16th and play until 23rd) or if your free playtime will actually stop on the 17th if you only make use of it like let's say 3 days before?
FFXIV has been taking a long time to boot uplately. The app will be non-responsive for a bit when I boot it up but then it'll start working just fine. Rebooting the system temporarily fixes it, but it always starts happening again.

@heady urchin i believe the 17th is when you can no longer send the call-back. so if they get it on 16th, they should still get 7 days play time but i'm not 100% sure
The return campaigns usually work like that
I have yet to see one that refused to give the full time if it was utilized last minute
hello, I'm about to be offline for a sea going period. My garden has matured and is now glowing. Once my garden is mature, it can be left indefinitely correct? Then I can continue where Ileft off?
how do I make my mounts faster?
you don't. Just work through the MSQ and you'll get your first land speed upgrade eventually
MSQ?
these quests
there are maps you can buy that increase your land mount speed, also quests.
for ARR?
Yes. They eventually grant you one speed up boost per zone.
I see. where can I buy these maps?
Itinerant moogle is one, beast tribes, etc.
does Gold saucer give gil?
oh ok
does squadron exp manual stack with FC exp boost?
No
I believe the squadron is better
It's the same as a tier 3 FC boost
ahh, I guess my FC is not tier 3.
No it's a "crafted" action
was, since I left.
The REALLY good one is the squadron award, that one is best
so it is worth doing at least once a week.
no hard answer on the plant question? If a plant is glowing. It can remain unharvested indefinitely correct?
ahh, I got them mixed up?
@dry glade pretty sure, yes. A plant shouldnβt die once itβs fully grown
I thought this was the one I bought with seals
now running back to gc to be sure
I was told FC was only 10% so this is better.
if it says Squadron <whatever> then its from the weekly squadron mission
ahh, thank you.
and its only better than rank 2 free company actions, though most free companies probably aren't going to bother with rank 3 since they're a pain to make
ahh, maybe my leader just didn't want to make the rank 3 ones then.
How is hide used on ninja in instanced content
generally you use hide to reset your mudras and that's pretty much it @languid kernel
but it says cant be used in combat
ye, you use it before like a boss fight
cast huton > hide > prep for suiton so you can trick attack
If you're talking the changes to freelancer, that has been implemented since 5.15
and with that they made it inaccessible that mount with the pvp achievements and the old pvp gear with wolf mark righ?
I don't know exactly what I've read like months ago that some gear and a couple mounts were going to be inaccessible
The only stuff that was removed was the GARO event gear/achievements
GARO ended with 5.1
They announced it well in advance when GARO would be ending
yeah I know
Almost 6 months ish
I just wasnt a sub
There are many other mount options
is more about the cool armor
do u still get a fantasia when you finish ARR?
Yes

will it just appear in my inventory? o.o
Its a quest rewars for the last 2.0 quest
alrighty thank you 
Hey y'all, reading somethings saying you can't use spells/abilities in gpose and seeing somethings that suggest that's wrong. Can anyone clarify?
You can't use it in gpose, but since it takes your last action you use the ability you want then enter gpose
When I enter gpose after using a spell my character just stands there in battle pose. I'm also on ps4 if that has any impact
Mine seems to work just fine, maybe you accidentally disabled motion with L2?
You mightβve accidentally auto-attacked, which IIRC also counts as an action for gpose
does the housing timer exceed 24 hours?
I've heard that it does not
but I've also heard that it does
If you mean the timer for a house to become buyable, then yes it can exceed 24 hours
just thought i'd let people know, idk if this is legit or not but I'd be safe and not do this β€οΈ
It's not
Never trust random links with promises of free stuff.
I tried casting blizzard 2 without a target so no auto attack and movement isn't disabled, I get the fighting game idle bounce. Very confused as when I pulled up a video it was simple to do
Odd, blizzard 2 seems to work just fine for me.
Are you on pc or ps4?
Wait I figured it out
PS4
Go to the fourth menu and enable βselect actionβ
Of gpose
Oh my lord
This game seems so finicky
Thank you so much Wynne! I'm going to go play with this for the next few hours
hey, new player - i'm interested in pvp, and willing to play any role, how are queue times like in regards to each role?
PvP doesn't have role queue time
Feast does, canβt remember for frontline
I'm looking at threads about feast the "competitive" side of pvp and theres a lot of mentions about queue times
ie. ranged dps is most popular and hard to pop queues
Itβs still pretty similar to PVE, tanks and healers get the faster queue, though I notice ranged DPS sometimes being a bit quick depending on the time of day
Hello! My wife and I are new players, could anyone recommend a server between the following 3?
Jenova, Midgarsormr or Sargatanas?
Is anyone available to give me some advice on a mission
also i'm seeing recent threads complain about ast being broken, yet there's not a single one in the top 10 rankings of each server
whats up with that?
Thereβs broken useless and broken op.
Probably from an older patch
@ocean tusk what do you need
Iβm trying to get help with the Aether blade mission
Iβd say itβs fairly well balanced, yes

Anyone in here a Summoner
Yes
so after you finish before the dawn what happens if you return to ul'dah
is everything just
the same
Yep
lol ok
Anyone recommend a server between the following 3?
Jenova, Midgarsormr or Sargatanas?
Tl;dr people know how strong you are and are too scared to do anything about it, or don't believe you did anything wrong
And get their asses completely handed to them?
also have to keep in mind that there was like a 3mo gap between the msq and the expansion
they're not going to force you to avoid a starting city
well they were trying in before the dawn
@twin stream all three are pretty fine from my experience, though Middy might have a healthier market economy out of the three
I know I'm just wondering how they're going to let you in ul'dah but also keep the story in line
basically, like vinyl said
Thanks very much! π
either people looked the other way or were too scared to do anything
Tldr: what happens when you have powerful friends in the higher up
I guess
Some people have brains to not listen to propaganda
Itβs also a explained a bit later in the story that ||the whole event was kept under wraps and barely anyone knows what really happened||
I see
People don't put a pause on their life to worry about you, especially when you aren't charged with anything
Maybe in universe, at first people were slightly worried.
Then after a while, they just didn't bother with it
Where is the /toasg
T emote fromt
/toast is from the mogstation
I don't see where the quest our end is??
coordinates say 13,8 but that's like off the map?
are you in the pillars?
yes
Cos it should be around here
does msq or job quest give u a full set of lvl 80 gear? i heard u get the main parts but not the accessories? is this true?
for 80
you need to finish the final role quest for your respective role
theres no job quests in shadowbringers other than an 80 one but thats just for a title
Anything decent you can buy with 10 silver chocobo feathers?
role quest is different than the job quests?
the gear given from grenodlt is just left side, you can get accessories from the lvl 80 dungeons
you need to do at least one final role quest to progress the msq anyway
Yes, the role quests are the quests that you're introduced to during the shadowbringers msq
and are told explicitly that you will need to complete atleast one
thx
Anyone else having trouble paying on mog station right now?
Getting "A technical issue has occurred." when trying to resub
New player (sorry in advance) will FFXIV keep it's levels capped at 80 or is there plans on going past that?
Every expansion so far has added 10 levels to the level cap
And they have said they have plans for several more expansions still
Gah. More leveling to do once I hit 80 on jobs.
Thanks!
Yo, so how do that ilevel sync thing work 
I've been going into Eureka and my gear gets synced to ilevel 300, but I'm wondering what the best thing would be to do
when you enter eureka, your gear is effectively the same power as it is at ilv300
but for eureka your ilvl isn't as important as your elemental level/magia board
So when it comes to the materia, am I better of getting ilevel 300 gear and melding materia onto it?
i'm not entirely certain with materia, but honestly for eureka i wouldn't worry about it
If youβre using high enough ilvl gear itβs basically like itβs melded due to how syncing works

The secondary stat cap for an i300 chest piece is 233, which looks like is met with level 75 dungeon gear
So if youβre wearing stuff thatβs level 75 or higher youβre basically βmeldedβ when in eureka
Does NIN uses the same accessories as ranged dps?
yes
why is drk so squishy
are you using TBN?
what
!action the blackest night
Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow
DRK is just squishy until level 70
They simply donβt get a strong part of their toolkit until the later levels
The Blackest Night is very powerful when used correctly
PLDs don't get a gap closer until 74 but DRKs have the best party member mit with TBN
And the low recast allows ample use
bad design
tbf tanks have plenty of defensive utility pre 70
Shadow Wall, Rampart, Reprisal, Arms Length, Dark Mind should be more than enough as drk
plus living dead is lovely
I only have rampart and reprisal
What job crystal are you wearing
you're not wrong but can't do anything about it now besides complain on the SE forums.
what level is your dark knight?
31
Yeah, those are the two that you have and the one ones you'll need.
You won't need to worry about having team mititgation at level 31.
as it slows enemy attacks
I think Armβs Length is like 40-something for tanks to unlock
still squishy
Did you make sure to get gear for all of your slots? The starting stuff for DRK is very barebones
my paladin didn't need constant healing
Did you get more gear or are you only using the stuff your DRK started with?
paladin doesnt get its own first defensive until 35
started
so it may have been a gear issue
You need more gear
Thatβs why youβre squishy
You can buy level 30 stuff in the main city-states
I think Ishgard sells level 30 gear too, but not sure about accessories
makes sense
Is there a way to see who's a local player?
Like can you see if they're in your area?
Irl? Nope
F
Thatβs the kind of information not meant to be publicly available for very obvious reasons
yeah no sane mmorpg would publicly have that info
it'd be considered a breach of user data for starters
Apparently the beta for arr had an option where you could see local players
According to a subreddit post so I was wondering
what subreddit post?
@warm dove better off in #not-ffxiv-discussion or #video-games-general
yeah i figured

that has nothing to do with the beta or ff14s development directly
thats a 3rd party site
no @untold ermine
Yeah
Help I can't open the game, whenever I choose my server I get hit by a " The lobby server connection has encountered an error 2002 "
And once in a while I manage to get through it into the character selection but it's just the empty space with nothing and then it crashes and I get the same prompt as mentionned above
Tried a shittons of fixes but nothing works, just to download the game I had to change my dns to manual 8.8.8.8 otherwise it kept crashing at 10.32%

@crimson crystal I think itβs this ||https://youtu.be/6cOZZuL16CI||
where can I get those yellow crafter exp scrolls that give the 2 hour buff?
put < > around the link to hide the preview
I cant access the eden's gate raid
you should be able to buy the manuals from any yellow scrip vendor, they're under the lv50 section for commercial and 70 for revised
have you done the unlock quest in the crystarium
its not there
have you checked your journal/quest log
Have you finished the MSQ?
yes
Help?
Journal > completed quests > red quest marker > chronicles of a new era - Eden.
Do you see that in your journal, and if so what is the lowest quest on the list?
@inner saddle I canβt really say what solutions could work from what Iβm reading. :\
we're FFXIV players not technical troubleshooters. I'd say look at using a VPN but otherwise /shrug
Ok lemme try that
I think I figured out what I'm not doing
@crimson crystal its unspoken
There's a similar sounding song that has violin but I don't know its name either
It's sad/bittersweet too
if you can find it in a cutscene, link here and i'll try and figure out the name if you like
And nope, vpn doesn't work either lmao, fuck me, bought a game and half a year of sub, end up not even being able to open the game
Hahahahaha
could it be firewall/antivirus?
I tried, I don't have an antivirus, and I put every single program as accepted in the firewall, I opened the ports on my firewall that some reddit post said needed to be open
Nothing works
well, if opening them didn't work, don't forget to close them back up. Is the game on your c: drive or another drive?
guys, anyone knows all the possible mog valentine maze run outcome?
what I know: [favorable], [kindred spirit] and the mytical [soulmate]
(whats the worst rating you can get/is there anything below favorable)
It's on c: drive
Generally, it's a good idea to not put games and other stuff on C., only put stuff on c if you have to. That said, it might not be your problem. I like to copy my entire FF14 directory too, so if there is ever a corrupted file or something, I don't need to re-download the entire game, just anything new since Imade the copy.
are you at home on cable internet or using a public internet source?
I'm in a dorm, but we all have our own routers paying our own internet bill, so yeah it's a private router
ahh, one problem I've enountered in this situation is the landlord was pirating the connection, splitting it, splitting it, and splitting it again, so by the time it got to me the signal quality was horrible and it killed my connections. Do you normally get a good signal or is there a lot of noise that slows down your connections?
Does anyone know what that armor is
Will temperance help decrease some damage for force of the land?
We're only 2 on the router so it should be fine
@placid sleet it should, yes
I'm new here and just making my character π Does it matter which race I choose if I want to be a healer predominantly?
Kuzuuryu, you should be able to just install to the new drive to create the directories, then copy and paste from the old drive. So it shouln't take long
@true spindle no
But yeah fuck this, I just tried to do a mobile hotspot with my phone, connected my pc on it, and wow magic, the game opened, so the problem is the shit internet here
Not at all Gwyneth. Play what you like.
Thank you both :)
@inner saddle try netsh winsock reset on cmd who knows might work
Speedtest gives 34.1 down, 10.6 up
You might be able to use a vpn to get through your router, if it is throttling your game strem for other people's movies. You can try a cheap vpn first to see if it helps.
Tried vpn, did not work
Can someone answer my question please
Sorry Hyoh, don't recognize it.
any way to use legacy while preventing the camera from moving at all?
make sure the vpn works with your mobile hotspot. I have a good vpn that I play FF and everything else with, but a lot of VPNs don't work with gaming.
looks like rathalos chest @leaden ginkgo
Can I get it now or is it only during the mhw collab?
I can't use my mobile hotspot to play, I just wanted to see if the problem was from firewall/pc or if it was from internet, I only have 9g/month of data on my phone so I can't play ffxiv with it
mhw collab is perm
Should I do it at lvl 52?
you can't do it at 52
I play with my mobile hotspot when I'm at sea. I understand how you don't want to do it routinely, but I'm talking about troubleshooting.
you have to be atleast 70
Check if the vpn works with the hotpsot when gaming. If it doesn't then you need another vpn that will, then try THAT vpn with your network.
Yea, it's easy to burn out trying to get a game to even work. Do you have problems with other games?
im on preferred server so i have exp bonus and i know that its up to 70 lvl and last for 90 days. but if i hit 70 lvl will it remove? if so i need to swap to other class when my main is 69?
nah, you'll lose it on the higher level job, but when you swap to something lower level you'll get the buff back
awesome!
right now im lvling my conjuer and will get white mage, so anyone have any recommend a fun job?
Black Mage has big explosions in the later levels. 
nice, i think i ll look for minimum gear requirement to be strong
Just got a new hdd and installed ffxiv, it wants me to register a new account in the launcher?
is it possible to change your characters appearance without spending real money? like even body shape and all that?
@median plaza just select you already have a square id
