I am so very confused, with the 5.2 trailer you see Cid, what quest series is he in? 
How do I pull up a trait on here?
hey guys, does shadow bringers come with a month free also
Using the kupo bot?
no @leaden ginkgo
The command is !trait name
@dense kelp cid makes a brief appearance in the ruby weapon questline
what does this symbol over a character mean?
Did you swap to a different job?
most likely at the msq where you need to get him two items
and thus don't have said items
I have a question about FF14 A realm Reborn. I'm looking to buy a cd key for it, not for steam, for the official website. I saw that it said you need to make a fresh new account. Does that mean i have to start over from level 1 and that i can't add the game and the free 30 days that comes with buying the game to my free trail account?
What's the emote to interact with my pet cat
you don't, unless you made a steam trial account
you just add the code that you're given once you bought the game to your mogstation and your account is upgraded from trial to full game
/pet is the emote like 99% of the time
/slap also sometimes makes the minion run from you
/handover also is like a feeding motion
/beckon will get the ones that climb on you sometimes to do it immediately (no effect on others)
Yeah they’ll sit on your shoulder, or your head if you’re a lalafell
cat's can't climb on me right?
nope
Hello everyone! I just got the game and was wondering, is the download for this game just slow? I am downloading it on pc through the client and I'm getting 3mb/s. I checked my download speeds and it is around 20, is there a way to fix this? Otherwise I gotta wait 8 hours 😦
What am I even looking at Wynne
that's the wind-up nanamo standing on his unripened potato head
Yeah I could’ve done a better angle
Will ||Ryne|| stand on your head too?
typical lalafel picture. at night, bad angle
No idea, my guess is no
hmm, probably not
@leaden ginkgo general suggestion is to try a VPN to help speed things up
I think namao is the only wind-up npc minion that does
Garuda does too
@obsidian patio Is there a recommended VPN that is suggested? I don't really know my VPN's
@twilit arch Okay so i have my game key, but i can't figure out where to submit it, i tried googling how to do it, but it doesn't seem to give me an option. It says to go to my Mog Station and login and then to click on "Manage service options" yet i don't see that option anywhere at all. this is all i see. https://gyazo.com/89a3717f12d36205af8a82f549bcc29b
transfer to regular service
I think Mudfish is a general suggestion, but I’ll ping @tender estuary for his opinion on VPNs too
Thank you 🙂 and then i click enter registration code right?
yes
yeah mudfish works fine
:\

I'm currently leveling paladin and it's at 60 what's the fastest way to get it to 70?
do msq if you've still got that
otherwise do your msq/leveling/alliance roulette and spam highest level dungeon
you can also get it from bronze sacks from potd
blame ff5
@twilit arch Stupid question, but other then the chocobo, what other mount could i get at lvl 31? My friend has his floating eye mount from years ago, and i'm kinda trying to show him up atm lol
There’s a unicorn from a level 30 conjurer quest.
there's a couple on the achievement vendor, for achievement certs
can get a bunch of mounts from gold saucer but that requires a certain umm... committment (time wise)
There’s also a mount or two buyable with Wolf Marks, which are from PVP
@twilit arch I have zero, and i do mean zero idea what an achievement vendor is lol
It’s jonathas in old Gridania, at apkallu falls
@obsidian patio Found it and thanks for that but i have to ask, all i see is minions aand "suits of armor" for chocobo's. Where are the mounts?
They’re in there, they just don’t have a consistent name scheme
Lemme double check the naming of them
That would be amazing! Thank you very much @obsidian patio I'm currently googling how to get points for his shop atm
Voidal Resonator = Ahriman Mount
Behemoth Warhorn = Behemoth Mount
Magitek Death Claw Identification Key = Magitek Claw Mount
20000 wolf marks
is the dodo message book stand the same as the indoor message book stand? like can u write stuff in it too?
ye
neet
@obsidian patio Oooo thanks my buddy has the floating eye one the Ahriman, Behemoth looks great, and the magitek is hella creepy so idk
It holds you by the tip of its fingers, looks quite funny for Lalafell/Hrothgar
@obsidian patio Lol i'm currently a Hyur lancer so think it'll be normal for me
Is there a glamour Discord?
if someone kick me from the FC and my housing items is in possession of someone else, can GM do something about it or is it unfortunate situation?
I found some unique gear but I'm trying to find the regular one that might be dyeable or an all class equivalent
Search the item on garland tools
It can tell you if an item shares a model with another item
@proper junco nope. :/
why no?
how do i change channels?
Chat channels for in-game? You can click on the chat bubble near where you enter text
There’s also commands/keybinds too
not chatting channels
as in if i am channel 1 how do i go to channel 2?
is it instances?
sorry, not sure what it is called
you need to go to one of the zone aetherytes
there should be an option to change there
ok, thx
Hello, I just acquired FFXIV just today. While trying to launch the game after downloading, I encountered a repugnant error. it makes me irate that i have to deal with this quandary. I require assistance to facilitate this quarrel between matter and brain. I've scrutinized the face of the internet for the answer to my inquiry but alas my expedition was fruitless. May I ask for your guidance in this matter?
This is the error I received after trying to bind my time in a fun MMO such as this.
Try updating Windows and your graphics driver 😄
I cannot update my operating system for particular reasons, and I just updated my drives this evening.
I implore you to find a solution to this predicament.
I already tried giving one, it's hard if not impossible if you can't update your system and drivers first...
@tender estuary
I am highly doubtful that my operating system is causing an issue with the game, and as i previously stated in my last claim, I already updated my drivers.
i log in, hit play, then there error appears and closes the game instantly
Your very operating system is the being running the game for you 😄
Older Windows 10 versions have been discontinued as well, so depending on your version SE might even refuse any support...
yeah what OS are you on
they dont support anything older than Windows 10 as far as im aware now
windows 10 enterprise ltsc
8.1 is still supported according to their system requirements
I think the game can still run they just dont provide support
well you can try switching it to DX9
see if it launches that way
are you using discord overlay or any other overlays
anything that can attach itself to the game might be causing issues
i might have
otherwise yeah I think its an update issue as Minako said
cause I've seen this crop up before and it was fixed using a new win10 build
I know you're on an enterprise build
so that might make things difficult, I dunno if you're the sysadmin or what
i am
LTSC stays on the same version for uhh... 2 years iirc?
doesnt that mean long term support? I cant remember
hey Minako what's your pfp from? is it original?
yeah I wouldnt think so
Official art from Persona Q2!
@past hornet
honestly just a guess but I dont think its going to work on that OS, you'll have to use a home or professional build of windows 10
ah, thanks :)
damn its gonna be a pain in the ass if thats the true problem
If I had to guess LTSC doesn't have the Media Feature Pack installed by default hence it makes the game crash on startup...
yeah thats a good guess and probably right

How do i get a retainer?
yeah thats probably exactly what the problem is
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
thats funny I almost entirely forgot Windows N was a thing haha
thanks
i'll see if this works
:/
ummm the Media Feature Pack is not appearing as stated in the reddit post
:)
riiiip
So basically
I made an alt account on Lamia with the same name as my main
If I delete the Alt can I transfer my main to Primal without having to change my name

what's the problem?
yeah @leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo you can reclaim deleted names 😄
i get an error when i open the game @past hornet :)
I like that
what error?
if you scroll up you will see it
ah

I cant find anything on a build for windows 10 enterprise
I'd say update -> format -> use 10 Home/Pro in this order 😄
why not just dual boot a windows 10 pro build
im assuming that PC you're on is part of an AD domain so I dunno if formatting is an option
Most people use LTSC illegally to avoid all the Home/Pro bloat/telemetry/forced updates...
But shhhhh
oh I see
your secret is safe with me
welp, thats my final answer then. dual boot and find a cheap home/pro OEM key or something
aight
Hey, is there any ring or earring or gear at all that i can wear for bonus exp over lvl 30? the ring i had was for 30 and under, is there any other things i can wear for the exp bonus that maybe goes to lvl 5 or 70 or something
unfortunately no, the items that work for 50/70 were pre-order bonus items
thus they are no longer available
That's what google said i was just hoping i missed something is all, bummer
Perhaps preorder keys are in the open somewhere...
But resellers can be shady sometimes
They wouldn't work either way
Probably would, these keys shouldn't have expiration dates
They stopped accepting them in I think December
@leaden ginkgo i have found out that i do in fact have Media Feature Pack installed
doing further research
Hello Everyone,
Up to this point I never had any issues logging into FFXIV. I started up FF right after the 5.2 patch and had it updated. Once I hit play the following error popped up.
"A unexpected error has occurred. Exiting Final Fantasy XIV.(6d)"
I've seen people ha...
@deft spear,
I looked around the web and found this about Windows 10 LTSB/LTSC, looks like a driver/feature problem:
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/stripped-down-windows-10-for-gaming.18868177/
this is a new post and has quite a few people discussing it
someone mentioned running it through geforce experience works funny enough
nah
if you have an nvidia gpu worth a try
that didnt work
damn
@tender estuary, you know about W10 LTSB/LTSC? (looks like a #technology-discussion thing btw.)
very limited, not that many people use it
I just recommended dual booting and grabbing a cheap OEM key or even just not registering windows 10 and downloading it anyway
just dual boot
probably less of a hassle at this point than trying to troubleshoot anyway
Yes, i agree Hank.
Too bad it doesn't run under Linux/Proton yet :(

...While we're at it, is the frame limiter really broken?
A 60fps lock is actually a 48fps lock on borderless 
does this mean you can become level 80 in all classes with one character? or is this for something else
Yes!
ah that's kinda cool
Changing classes/job is as easy as swapping your weapon 😄
even the non-combat stuff.
noice
Once you completed any lvl 10 class quest, you will open up the option to swap classes.
Lvl 15
will open up all the starters cities, giving you access to all ARR DoW/M

How does one look up a buff or debuff on Kupo-bot-spam?
its !buff, not sure we have a debuff one
Okay
Also
How does one get the barrage buff?
I’ve looked over my skills but I couldn’t find it
its a lvl 38 skill
Oooohhhh
Refulgent arrow
I was so confused because I’ve gotten used to being a level 80
i painted head and chest with rose pink and have the hard leather caligae but im only getting 68pts in the fashion report =/
the image posted in the fr command is for last week's
What is the highest lvl of DoL/H gear you can get from vendors for gil?
lv 77
I'm pretty sure can get 80 norm quality from vendor in crystarium
hmm don't recall seeing dwarven
last time i checked, but i also haven't checked in while
I think I bought lvl 80 NQ DoL for my retainers
i stand corrected then
I just collected all the aether things in an area, what else do I do to fly?
are you certain you collected all aether currents, both open world and side quest?
look at travel > mount speed
if you can't fly by just jumping on your mount, you missed something
sorry
travel > aether currents
Then your mounts can fly now
it can not
There are two rows of crystals fyi. Bottom for currents. Above for sidequests
Besides the grand company chocobo and the magitek Mount, which need sidequests
are you trying to fly with your company chocobo?
Are you using your company chocobo?
because you need to do a side quest to make it fly
ty, wish the tutorials would tell me that, all it said was to use my compass
getting annoying needing to use third party to find answers
Why can't I overmeld?
did you do the quest https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Melding_Materia_Muchly ?
You need to do the sidequest to unlock overmelding

How much skill does it take to be a dps?
Im afraid that the role is only about doing your cycle with ni though
Does Pick Clean and Bountiful Harvest II stack?
@odd bobcat depends on which one you pick, but the biggest part is making sure you aren’t dropping your GCD and not letting skills sit unused
@obsidian patio what ks gcd?
But i mean after you learn you rotations you always do the same stuff?
@sturdy mason reading the tooltip I think so.
It’s the timer that your non-cooldown skills go on when you use them
Gcd stands for Global CoolDown. Badically your skills that have 2.5 seconds cooldown
Some classes have a more set in stone rotation like Dragoon and Machinist, with some being more proc based like dancer, bard, and red mage
what should i do with all the fish i get from the new fishing event?
Anyone know of a easy to understand summoner guide? I'm having a hell of a time learning it after leveling scholar
!faq smnguide
@little walrus desynth or vendor them
yeah I looked at that it still not sticking. I'll just have to keep practicing
Is doing your highest dungeon the best way to level up 70-80?
Yes
I bought the red hare from moogle station but I can’t fly with it, why ?
And FATEs while queueing of course
@fleet fable have you unlocked flying in the map you are in?
Trusts are also decent especially if youre queues are crazy long
Then you don’t.
youll unlock it after 60
You cant fly in ARR maps
It’s unlocked in heavensward
Yea. Flying was introduced in heavensward so cant fly until then.
It's extremely good just stay up on your class quests and gear because you may level too fast
so i need to bring gear and all sorts of bait?
nah
no just update when you're outside
And yeah they have a vendor to buy bait from
@dusk zenith right click gear, dye. consume dye to change color
1 per gear piece. so six
hello!! i'm a returning player from 5.0. i just read this in the patch notes "Solo players may now advance production phases in company crafting." does this mean that i, alone, can build complete airships and submarines without needing a light party?!
yes
😄 😄 it finally happened. thank you for confirming!

Can I still do Rathalos extreme?
yep
is bard any good dps wise in the current patch?
Im thinking of starting archer but no clue if it would be worth
@queen flame as someone who was at level 12 fishing last night, went on one ocean fishing trip and leveled up over 10+ levels, yeah it's worth it.
@fickle copper they are all viable. By the time you reach endgame starting now, the "meta" would have changed again so play whatever you like.
First e8s clear in japan has a BRD too btw.
Can someone give me the rundown on what "golden box farming in Pagos" is?
ohhhh awesome!
In pagos. Getting killstreaks has chances of mobs dropping heatwarped lockbox
im glad, just wanted a change of pace
is bard any fun?
with cool abilities I mean
Its subjective. I couldnt stand the rng procs but many love it. You can watch the job action trailers too.
why do people want heatwarped lockboxes?
Oh ok
The flaming goobblue and /sweat
Ok, thanks 🙂
whats the difference between idividual and shared macro tab
also theres no macro to start crafting is there?
Not sure what you mean by macro tab.
You can do crafting without macros whatsoever.
Crafting macros assume/require you have specific stats. You can always wing it yourself.
Individual = macros specific to that character
Shared = macros shared by all characters on your account
How long would it take to max out the HW and SB beast tribes if you do their quests every time day?
a month or so
though since you're doing more than 4 tribes it will take longer
unless you're only doing the combat ones
Do you get more quests to do later on? All I get are 3 quests a day, 6 if I happen to go up in rank
that's all for the expansion tribes

The book from eden verse is weekly capped?
as usual, yes
So its 1 piece of gear for 5-8 raid, and 4 tomes a week?
one item from each floor, and one tome
Do people mix job skills?
Can't. Jobs can only use their own skills.
Well, gatherers can still use cross-class, but it's pretty useless for them as it only lets them see nodes for the other gatherers
Do i get 60-61 exp in POTD?
yes, but it stops scaling at 60.
Its severely reduced
so what is the best way to 61 from 60 then?
Its best to do 60 great gubal library and 61 sirensong sea
Leveling/alliance/MSQ roulette too
as dps it's a bit long to wait for dungeon
dam, i guess there's no way but to buy a gear t_t
Honestly you could go from 61-70 with just Heaven on high and not worry about gear
You can do beast tribe while waiting for queue
60 you could just queue msq roulette and try not to be bored during it
yeah that's what i'm planning to do. But 60-61 req at least SOME gear (i'm literally naked).
well it's just around 100k gil or so, oh well (i'm just value my armory space)
...yeah youre gonna want gear
You can get poetics gear from Idyllshire
Just put it in your chocobo saddle bag or retainer inventories until you need it for another class
i'll probably just do that, thanks
o7
blu is 60 lvl max right now?
Yes
yup
oh well, then i'll use this gear for him
How can I find the cutscene of the WoL giving advice to ryne about being friends with gaia?
Having trouble finding it
So how good is ff14 story?
Im learning warrior
Also what kinda of dps would you guys recomend to me ? I usualy like heavy micro games soo
Are the Hobgoblins in ShB literally just our normal Goblins but without their masks on?
The start is a bit rough in terms of pacing and story but once you get past Titan or so it comes together pretty well
Fast and a lot of butons to press
@obsidian patio when is titan? I think i will skip until titan so
about level 30
though I recommend to start watching cutscenes when you beat up Ifrit, which is at level 20
As for jobs, the fast melee DPS are Monk, Ninja, and Samurai. for Ranged Bard can get busy with their procs.

whats the setting to disable the popup about achievements everytime I load into a new zone?
Looks like you can only disable the box that appears when you log in.
How do I turn off glamour plates?
if you mean unlinking them from a gearset, right-click the gear set and click the unlink option
if you mean removing the glamour off the items you'll have to use glamour dispellers
Ps4?
Same thing, square is your right-click and X is your click
Ok, let's backtrack a bit so I can help better. Are you trying to 'reset' a glamour plate so it has nothing attached to it, or are you trying to remove it from a gearset/gear with the glamour on it?
I'm just trying to remove the look itself and go back to my equipment look. I used a glamour plate for a set on my current equipment
I guess reset yeah
there should be a save button at the bottom of the plate window to save changes done to it.
The cloud attire is the glamour plate I casted but I wanna equip it later
I removed everything from the slots but the glamour is still set. Does the glamour plate get equipped to my current equipment?
yes
what is the fastest way to level up pre 50?
Ohhh so the glamour plate basically is just a set of glamour that gets casted on every new equipment over and over right
I thought that it just stayed there regardless of the equipment that you change
note for your first job you'll want to follow the story
has anyoen come into this error Error Code: i2501 when trying to buy something from the mog station?
General-issue error. It can be cause by using a VPN, public/unstable Wifi connection, or trying to press buttons too many times.
Does ishgard have a mb?
In the Jeweled Crozier.
Ok
I can buy a deepshadow piece, should I buy to upgrade my belt (403) or my chest piece (430)? Still farming nier raids for 460 stuff though. For context, i just finished main ShB yesterday
i have no vpn are thier any know fixs for it?
belt, you'll have bigger total gains.
I actually got the 2501 error trying to log in as well last week
Just waiting, for the most part.
is thier support team worth contacting about it?
For me I got the error once and when I tried to log in again it worked
So it seems to be spontaneous
if you keep getting the error past 24 hours, then yes
alright
Next piece to upgrade between ring/bracelet/head/chest? All at 430? This time chest will give bigger gains right
in terms of entering higher item level content ASAP you want to replace your lowest ilvl gear
but in terms of total stats it goes like this
Weapon > Chest/Legs > Head/Arms/Boots > Belt > Accessories
Alright, thanks!
There wouldn't happen to be an easy to get >440 weapon would there?
is there a setup where i can keep the vertical camera angle fixed, but allowed to move the horizontal angle?
@dusk merlin pretty much only the Crafted i450 (Facet) and i480 (Neo-Ishgardian) weapons.
second best option would be the phantasmagoria weapon
I can only craft up to i430 right now and that's only with WVR and GSM so that's out sadly
Can always just buy it off the marketboard. Not sure about your server but for Gilgamesh the Neo-Ishgard weapons are somehow cheaper than most of the other equipment slots, depending on the weapon
Probably way over the budget I have
@manic oasis Not that I can clearly remember. :\
I'll just tough out running tank through eden part 2
WAR has the 470 weapon, MCH has the 440 weapon
Goodness... MNK just became a lot more confusing..
I'm rather confused. unlike other classes with say, the buff combo then dps combo, am I right in saying MNK is more SMN in a way that we keep our buff and dots up?
Cz as you can see, I have the skill layouts following more of a positional one
Bottom being flank, second row (in this case Ctrl + number) as rear
pretty much, yeah.
But doing that makes it REALLY confusing
The general rotation flow of Monk is basically a big cycle
Dragon Kick (DK) > Twin Snakes (TS) > Demolisher (Demo)
Bootshine (Boot) > True Strike (True) > Snap Punch (Snap)
DK > TS > Snap
Boot > True > Demo
DK > TS > Snap
Boot > True > Snap
You use Dragon Kick and Twin Snakes every other cycle and Demolisher every 3rd cycle
You can minimize the movement needed for positionals by sitting at the spot to where flank and rear meet
You also have True North and Riddle of Earth later on.
both of which automatically fulfill the positional requirement for your actions no matter where you hit the enemy
I love seeing how people organize their skills. Monk gets easy after you start getting the rythm of the rotation. It's super fun for big pulls, too.
It gets very hectic esp during boss fights
My main stumble is due to the positionals

dont get fixed on that
it's better to miss the positional rather than waiting to use the skill on the right positional
exactly
Can I just double confirm, for the mob positions
Rear is just flat out no lines, yes?
when you have greased lightning to keep up, positionals just kinda become a secondary thing
as long as you dont stand in the front, you're fine
like, our skills on the hud?
mine are quite different. but i use a similar setup for all classes.
Do tell
let me get a couple of screenshots
Thanks
for example, my physical dps use a similar setup, my healers use a similar and the rest have their own too. here are my dragoon and monk.
1 is my combo starter. 6 (which is E/ctrlE/ShiftE) is my single target.
7 is R/ctrlR/shiftR, which is single enemy hits that apply a debuff or buff me
8 which is T/controlT/shiftT are my aoe attacks
2-3 are my buffs. 5 are defensive.
9-0---= are bound to my mouse buttons
But i thought dragon kick is d new combo starter?
it depends, on monk you rotate it with bootshine
Also, very neat
@twin kelp After completing at least the first quest for one weapon, additional anima weapons are started with Ardashir in Azys Lla by selecting the Anima Weapon Recreation option. Just switch to the job you want and pick up Soul Without Life again.
and since you unlock bootshine first, it just kinda stuck with 1
Note that SAM, RDM, DNC, and GNB do not have anima relics.
@gloomy ice I'm at her right now and I can't accept her quest.
there is, just for the base ARR jobs, crafters, and gatherers
nvm i figured it out
where do you trade in geota tomestones
Mor Dhona, Auriana i think it is
@obsidian patio Remember when you said that i can receive the crystal dust for Anima weapon by kiling ex primals?
Is it not a guaranteed loot after a kill?
correct, it's a chance
is that the item i should look for?
if so then this way might not work anymore

elemental materia isn't a thing anymore
that option is only there for people who still have any leftover
Which is a better skill to do, blacksmith or armorer or goldsmith
depends on what you want out of it. If you want to be self-sufficient you'll probably want to level up all 8 crafters besides Culinarian and maybe Alchemist
Yeah, crystal sand, i need it but i am not a crafter @queen flame
Cleared Ifrit 8 times already
not a single drop except ifrit weapon
You need to kill the extreme primals for the right materials
yes

If you have a level 70 or 80 they're super easy to solo
You can also check and see which of the primal materials are the cheapest on the marketboard for the two options and grind out the ones that aren't dirt cheap
like if Ifrit/Titan are super cheap, then you can grind Shiva
You could also try Desynthesis for the demimateria option, it's super easy to get the grade 1 demimateria, and the grade 2 usually sit at vendor price on the marketboard
ifrit has long invincibility window
if you dont burn him instantly he spawns the spikes which you have to take down one by one
ok, RDM works perfectly for it, thanks Wynne
👌
@worthy summit if you have spare allowances, there's a leve called Dance, Magic Dance. I think you get it at Foundation.
That leve has a possibility of spawning a chest that comes with an item that you can trade for crystal sand: amber encased vilekin.
so you can start the leve, look around the immediate area, if theres no chest you abandon it and restart it
and so on
^
Chests also only spawn in the green circles
just take a quick look in the circles, and if you don't see any then abandon/restart
so my choco has this spell that can put a heal on me, how do I put it on my bar? it won't let me drag? http://puu.sh/Fdh3F/63b7578187.jpg
you can't, they'll use it automatically when in healer or free stance
I'm new to the game
Are there guilds? I looked but didnt find any tabs for it
Or is it named something else?
Free Comapany
Oh. Are they just like guilds? I like having guild chat while i play
Yup
Keeps the existential dread away while i farm through quests
There's no real downside to joining one. If you shout in one of the main cities, someone will probably invite you
Can't join one if you're on the free trial
There are private invite-only global chats called Linkshells
and each server has a global Novice Network channel for mentors and new players, but that one also requires an invite
can i still gain desynth level by desynth-ing?
yes, desynth still has a level system
they just removed the level caps and chance to fail
that's because they're desynth level of 1
oh
you don't gain levels from stuff you greatly outlevel

I'm currently doing goldsmithing @obsidian patio already lvl 20 😄 but how do i sell all the earrings and stuff at once, or can you not
have to sell them individually.
rip my fingers
@obsidian patio Btw if i get annoying just tell me buddy 🙂 But i have to ask, is fates the best xp i can do currently? i'm lvl 36 trying to get 37 for the story
queue up for the highest level dungeon you have unlocked and do FATEs in the meantime
ooooo smart didnt even think of that
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Seeking_Solace I can't see this quest at the solace place? Even though I've completed the previous quest to it
Try talking to Vorsaile anyways, it might be hiding under another quest.
she only has a level 21 quest for me, do I need to complete all the mini-quests to unlock this beast tribe? http://puu.sh/Fdhqg/85f632a2ca.jpg
according to Garland tools, no.
But you did complete the quest "In Pursuit of the Past"? 
Oh I'm 53 and have done the Stone Vigil quest, I'm currently on a level 50 quest for MSQ
Yes I did that one

Maybe you accidentally completed it before? Try checking the reputation tab of your character page
Only these ones http://puu.sh/Fdhsf/95da221e1e.jpg
I'll try doing this low level quest she has for me and see if it works
Do you have a lot of quests in your journal? it might be hiding in there, since the UI that shows them only shows 5 as active
odd, I would try using the support/help desk then to report it as a possible bug.
I guess I'll need to make a ticket because I did all the low level quests and still nothing >< http://puu.sh/FdhAo/7ce347d9bc.jpg
MSQ?
No for the solace beast tribes
have you done your MSQ
Hmmmmm
ok thank you so much!! I'm a big dumb dumb didn't read
are allowances the amount of dailies you can do?
so I can just spam all dailies every day?
can't*
yes
you can only do up to 12 beast tribe quests a day
ARR has it particularly bad since you're not limited to 3 per tribe
Do all beast tribes unlock a mount?
Or are there any realm reborn ones I should focus? which do have mounts?

all of them have mounts
in terms of potential profit, the Ixal can sometimes make a good amount with the Tier 1-3 Crafting/gathering materia people sometimes use to min/max their overmelds.
What are the limitations of the versatile lure?
It catches everything
Its versatility is its limitation. Instead of using a certain type of bait to limit the possible fish you can catch/increase chances of a certain fish, you just have a chance to catch any of the possible fish which exist in that fishing hole.
This makes it basically not very useful.
it also can't be used for Shadowbringers zones
That goes without saying, the lure is basically worthless for a completionist
Roulettes are the easiest
They don't give much money though... At least at the point I am right now
you can try taking a look through the furnitures you can craft that don't have a shop selling price and see if any sell good
The Free Company Chest is a pretty decent seller last time I checked
I think you can also make the Wooden Loft, Wooden Beam, and Wooden Steps, which people use a lot of to add extra 'floors' to their house
Where do I even get the materials?
gather them yourself, or see if people see them cheap.
Garland tools lets you see where you can get an item from while looking at the recipe.
Is there already a training dummy for Eden Verse Savage?
should be, yes
guys me and my friends bought a house like 9 months, now i know they demlosih for not login but if i want the refund of 80% how can i do?
you can only get the 80% if you claimed it within 45 days of the house being demolished
ah okey thank, my gil :C
whats the recommended piety for scholars? i know everyone says to do piety until comfortable but whats a good medium amount?
shb SSS dummies are right outside eulmore on the west (minimap) cliff
what's a levequest? i looked at a guide and i still am clueless as hell on how to get or start them
since piety really only changes mp regen rate when under lucid dreaming it depends on the content you're doing and if having trouble managing (I run 973 which is comfy most of the time in regular content)
no, Piety works outside of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid Dreaming is a separate MP regen not boosted by Piety.
Levequests are basically rent-a-quest
They're basically assigned sidequests without a specific plot involved
Hecticz: a levequest is a type of repeatable quest (with limit on ability to spam it that increases by 6 every 24 real life hours). it's best used for powerleveling crafting and gathering jobs (although with ishgard reconstruction not the only way). combat leves in arr are mostly useless, and HW combat ones only really useful for anima. combat leves don't exist anymore stormblood and later
where do i exchange tomestones of goetia?
Mor Dhona by talking to Auriana
mor donut, middle npc x22.7 y 6.6
ty
I mainly need to do 10 levequests for the 40k exp i get from my challenge quests complete 5 and then 10 40k ea
is that enough sand for next level?
3x49= 147
mmm might be a bit short even with bonuses past 120
rng might dictate it
the bare minimum is 60 with best possible RNG
worst is 80 with 0 bonus stats
with average luck you'll probably need around the 70's or so
or high 60's
once you hit 120 total stats, you can randomly get a +1 to +3 from each use of sands+umbrite
I just opened 100 "lootboxes" ||aka. Leves||
Well, thanks for the info
Good to hear i am actually close to the end with it
one of the best leves to spam for the vilekin is dont come back
the one in coerthas
short radius so easy to spot chest
hell even spawns on the target sometimes
That sound about average from what I've seen from other people
i try to start a normal raid but it say me
two or more service requirements unmet
how cani fix (minum gear syas 170 but im 222)

what is this in new game+ sidequests? https://puu.sh/FdirK/f1dadec5a6.png
I thought dragonsong war was the name of the post-hw quests, but I've already completed that, so it shouldn't be "???"?
also the 3rd alliance raid is "???", but I've completed it, except for optional 3 cooking quests.. is that what's missing to unlock it?
E4N weapon tokens still on a weekly lock??
Id queue twice to chekc but not home atm
no, e4n are unlocked
ok cool
I'm trying to create this item for the beast tribes but it keeps saying I don't have the proper item equipped? but I have all my carpenter gear equipped? and everything is clicked? http://puu.sh/FdiCt/ee9bdc729d.jpg
you gotta equip the ehcatl wristgloves to craft that
was there a bait for all fish under level 50?
The versatile lure?
Could be that, I thought there was a bait as well as a lure,
Where can I find a good job comparison article?
I’ve been looking for meta/tier lists, but they all seem pretty outdated.
The reason I’m asking is because me and my friend both want to play gunbreaker, so we need a secondary class to play together, and I have no idea what I would like, or is good/needed in parties.
For savage raiding?
Sure, I was thinking about playing a dragoon because I heard they’re a staple, but the whole floor tank thing has me bound.
I was going to say any melee dps is always in demand for raiding, same with a healer that isnt a WHM xD
!faq meta
Floor tank thing is just a meme
I’m sure the game isn’t so broken as to require a specific job to complete content, but pugs will still be asking for specific shit to farm quicker. Apparently red mage is in a bad spot, and most people wouldn’t want them in their party (unless it’s a FC).
they won't
pugs locking spots to specific jobs are pugs so dumb you want to avoid them in the first place
world first eden's verse savage had a red mage
plus it got buffed this patch
Copied fac still capped on loot?
no
Just the clusters
is the bait for all fish in ARR Maiboi? xD
Question to healers: at around what level is it okay for tanks to start pulling more than one group? I’m leveling DRK atm and quickly realized I can’t be as gung-ho as I am with my capped PLD lol
First dungeon u can do it
I was trying to do it in Qarn and healer couldn’t keep up
Whats your gear like
Ilvl 32 at level 38
Under 50 it can be kinda iffy depending on your gear and the healers gear
I remember with PLD I started doing it around 40-50 but I was a less experienced tank back then
But its probably okay as long as you ask and use your mitigation cds
Arms length and reprisal are good stop gaps between large cds
someone can help me i dont understand why i have this error
Are you trying to queue for something?
yeh for normal raid at 60 but now i understand why i have only one normal raid unlock
ah, that'll do it
sorry im stupid i thook i had more i confused lvl 60 raid with lvl 70 raid xD
@raven star omni-bait: Freshwater Boilies and Saltwater Boilies.
complete one, other unlocked and can do roulettes of that type
But they have the same problem as the Versatile Lure in that they prevent you from going after specific fish
that's probably the issue if just have fist of the father (a1) done
so they're still not very useful.

what's the best way to farm wolf marks? (asides from frontline dailies?)
what is the problem with this macro?
/micon "Methodical Appraisal"
/ac "Discerning Eye"
/wait 0.7
/ac "Methodical Appraisal”
/wait 0.7
/ac “Discerning Eye”
/wait 0.7
/ac “Methodical Appraisal”
/wait 0.7
/ac “Single Mind”
/wait 0.7
/ac “Methodical Appraisal"
/wait 0.7
Wait don't work in decimals
And crafter actions need to wait 2 or 3 seconds, buff is 2, action is 3
say not a valid action methodical appriasal more than one time
is gathering?
You also don't need to take up a macro line to do a wait command.
/ac "stuff" <wait.3>
Instead you can do this:
/ac "Single Mind" <wait.1>
Read what we type
Wait only works in integers.
1
no decimals
The shortest you can wait is one second.
Then two seconds.
wait.1 means wait for 1 sec.
It doesn't mean wait for 0.1s
Despite what it looks like
That error message means you didn't actually put the action names in quotation marks
in the macro ingame
/ac “Discerning Eye” <wait.3>
/ac “Methodical Appraisal” <wait.3>
/ac “Discerning Eye” <wait.3>
/ac “Methodical Appraisal” <wait.3>
/ac “Single Mind” <wait.3>
/ac “Methodical Appraisal” <wait.3>
Btw, we don't recommend using macro for gathering collectibles
to this macro should work?
You are generally better off doing them manually
That macro should function correctly
but ^
Macros are extremely inefficient for gathering collectibles.
Straight out detrimental if you are aiming to yield good stuff
Highly recommend learning manual collectible gathering instead.
One-stop doc
ty all
when can you get a mount?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
oh ok thanks i don't think i'm there yet
Do I need HQ Walnut Logs to make HQ Walnut Lumber?
You don't need it, but if you have all HQ mats, your quality starts off at halfway full
So it becomes a lot easier to get HQ lumber from HQ logs
max quality it can start on is 75% now at last for some older stuff
so long u are geared u should not need hq log to craft hq lumber
I doubt I'm what you'd consider geared as I'm level 27 but thank you both for the help. 🙂
is 50/60/70 roulette any good for EXP?
No
thanks 👌
it is, however, pretty good for tomes
So, at 100+ hours i have just discovered, a giant red eye on the enemy means you can turn away and not be hit and if you hold both mouse buttons you run. What other little gold nuggets have i missed in this game?
why am i always order of the twin adder in frontlines pvp?
Freelancer was made the official default with 5.2
so im jut being incredibly unlucky?
is it possible to trade crystals?
how do you get a mount to summon via macro? atm I got "/ac "SDS Fenrir" and it says it is invalid.
crystals as in "Water Crystals" for crafting?
yes
Yes and yes to both Kaeron and void
Sell on the MB via Retainer
It should be a normal option from the trade menu
Or trade to a player
what trade menu?
When you trade
oh you don't right click like you do items?
No you have to initiate the trade from the player you want to trade with
Yeah you should just be able to select the crystals in the tab then
Sorry I'm still waking up
same
lol thanks I'll try it
Ruby is only weapons right?
yeah
should i materia v all my augmented scaevan gear?
how do i use a phial of fantasia? i bought it from the mog station but i'm not seeing it in-game
get it from the mailbox, use it then you can edit your character in character creation
ahh, thanks. don't think i've ever used the mailbox
Probably a dumb question but I'm trying to get into the game and I was a little worried that the starting area (ul'dah) felt kinda low player population, is that normal for the starting areas or should I pick a higher populated server if I'm worried about that?
Don't worry about it, you get to tele all over the place and aquare are pretty good at fixing numbers on servers
cool
Just out of curiosity? what's the max level? player or mob
80

Hi all i am a new player with a lvl 73 BLM (with Ilvl 390),my question is should i keep leveling with my BLM or switch to the crafter jobs and level them to 80 to get ready for the new items?
if i finished stormblood i can't use a lvl 70 booster?
Really up to you, whichever you enjoy more.
You're not forced to be a crafter if you don't enjoy crafting, and you're not forced to gather either if you don't like that (you are forced to be combat class though haha)
You should be able to use a lv70 booster, not if your class is already lv70 probably.
oh ok then ty
I would honestly advice not to lv boost though.
because you need to learn the job?
level boost are imo, very expensive, and you never learn to play your class and just jump into end content.
I boosted my SCH (comes with SMN too) And I have them both at lv 80 and idk what any of my SMH skills do, and it took me like 2 weeks to figure out how SCH even worked.
yeah that lvl 70 boost sucks if you do it on you "main" job and try to do the MSQ
it won't be on my main job
Healers and Tanks you can level very quickly as well. I was thinking of boosting my WHM to 70 from lv 34.
I got it to lv80 in like a week or less.
DPS its kind of a grind doing dungeons and Deep dungeon etc.
But if you like sch and smn they level together so grind sch while practicing smn and you'll get both at 80
i like neither
if you don't like smn then well (I don't blame you) the other method works.
the lv boost is more for what you consider worth it. The time to lv VS the hefty price tag.
the only classes I want to play are the 4 melee dps,DRK and red mage honestly.
Just know you'll probably be lost on how to play for awhile (and in that time you could prob lv to 80 yourself) for free and learn it that way instead.
Do you care for Gathering at all?
well
only grinding dungeons gets boring after a while
so i guess lifeskills are a luxury i'd like to use
Can always go gathering inbetween dungeons and during the DPS queue.
All depends on how much you grind dungeons and deep dungeon.
what are deep dungeon?
like 2h a day and atleast 5h in the weekend
is it one of the blue quests?
It's just an alternative leveling process.
It could take you a week it could take you 2 weeks. There really isn't a in X amount of time number to go off of.
Just keep spamming the highest level dungeon you can do (and skip the ones that end in 0, ex: 50/60/70) they don't give great exp. And when you get bored mix it up with potd for 1-60 and HoH for 61+.
Doing all the Dailies will give you about a level in a half per day, but sounds like would also take your entire day itself.
(MSQ roulette is bout 1hr or so)
send help
Once per day you can do the roulettes via the duty finder. That one is 1 of 2 missions from the MSQ. It takes about an hour to finish because none of the cutscenes are long.
oof, should try during prime time for raids haha.
I'm new, so like, hi? Haha
Yeah, only 1 roulette is under 50.
Which is "leveling roulette"
So again weigh what you value more, your time spent leveling, or your income being spent.
level skips are I think 25$ or around that.
per job
i meant in the future
on my first/second job ofc i'll lvl normally
first is MSQ lvling actually
but it already gets on my nerves
hgahaha
If you hate doing MSQ this might be the wrong game haha.
It all revolves around the MSQ.
I love the MSG so far.
ooh.
the xp it gives isn't
normal side quests is fine to ignore.
i remember that in 20s, it takes like 2h to lvl 2 lvls
which is pretty exaggerated
quests like this: https://i.imgur.com/JI7MxQd.png
you should do, they unlock content.
I'm in HW postgame and I've done uh
Right.
Every side quest except for relic/anima weapon stuff >.>
also the early dungeons are very empty so i found myself waiting like 20m-30m to find a dungeon
you could get half a lvl's xp in that time with normal MSQ missions
As DPS you'll have longer queue times than anyone else.
maybe it's because i was a dragoon
For every content most likely.
figured
Because everyone likes to play DPS, so there are more people trying to get into the same 4/8/24 person parties.
Healers and Tanks have very short queue times, from 0 seconds to 5 minutes.
i want to main DRK actually but as a tank you need to know everything about the dungeons first so i took a dps to learn the game before i main a tank
As long as you're not doing Extreme, Savage, Ultimate content and say "Hey first time still learning" most people will be accepting of that.
some people can be patient and explain things if you're willing to state that you don't know a dungeon very well, even as a healer or tank
I've had tanks ask if big pulls are okay when I was learning and I said "dunno if I can, still learning class" and they said it was fine and did smaller pulls.
Until you hit high-end game people are very considerate.
yeye as long as you can communicate your expectations and your battle plan, things typically go very smoothly
savage and ultimate stuff is another story haha at that point it is standard that you are knowledgeable on everything relevant
You won't find that in this game not as often.
ah, I've had party members that I've had to carry because they didn't contribute or communicate, but we stuck through it, FFXIV is a more patient community than most
Just don't go into high-end content blind haha
how long do you take to reach from 1-50 on average?
on my first class? I have a friend who is nearly lvl 40, took her like less than a month, and she has a full time job
I hope I didn't pick a dead server lol
if you're worried about content, you get partied up with other players from different worlds so don't worry about that
If first job just do main story. If not for tanks and healers they like doing roulettes then highest level leveling dungeon spam. DPS do roulettes then deep dungeons like Palace of the Dead (efficient but boring) @leaden ginkgo
leveling with dungeons mmmm hard to say but if you play a bit every day then it should be definitely around 3 weeks if you spend like 2 hours?? I'm really not sure haha
I have no idea, I'm guesstimating
each dungeon is like a guananteed level up
so around less than 50 runs
I think I averaged out about 3 days of a lot of grinding to get a DPS from whatever level to 50
Using Palace of the Dead
Wait
It's hard for me to say, I'm simultaneously leveling all my classes
so my perception of time to level is waayyyyy slower
@leaden ginkgo are you on a preferred server?
i am on Pheonix
just run palace of the dead, you'll hit 50 in no time
I am on Siren. Does that mean anything? lol
do you have a buff that says you're getting extra exp until you hit lvl 70? @cunning pine
what is a preferred server
a server where you get exp faster
a main big server?
Don't think so. I don't thik its a preferred server?
because its a small server
@leaden ginkgo then yeah I'd say if you grind a lot 3 days for DPA. For tanks and healers less than that but not sure
its to compensate for the fact that its not as active as other servers
Well that's the reason but sometimes it doesn't feel like that.
I've only ever been on hyperion, which is always full
Is phoenix a populated server?
Some preferred feels like there are a lot playing. It's even better for new players since there will be lots of people playing on that server at the same level as you
well by populated i mean a very big one
why do you want a populated server? When you run content, it will be with players from every server in your datacenter. Are you looking for an active FC?
That is a good point fyi
Is there a big diff from aether and crystal DCs?
nah i like the feeling when the server isn't deserted
