#

The replaced fish are trashed

I am so very confused, with the 5.2 trailer you see Cid, what quest series is he in? blobjoy

robust magnet
#

#

clear sequoia
#

How do I pull up a trait on here?

leaden ginkgo
#

hey guys, does shadow bringers come with a month free also

clear sequoia
#

Using the kupo bot?

twilit arch
#

no @leaden ginkgo

#

The command is !trait name

#

@dense kelp cid makes a brief appearance in the ruby weapon questline

jaunty ledge
leaden ginkgo
#

You dont meet a requirement to finish the quest

warped nest
#

Did you swap to a different job?

twilit arch
#

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?

sturdy mason
#

What's the emote to interact with my pet cat

twilit arch
#

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

obsidian patio
#

/pet is the emote like 99% of the time

#

/slap also sometimes makes the minion run from you

twilit arch
#

/handover also is like a feeding motion

sturdy mason
#

LOL /slap

#

downright animal abuse

#

i did it and now i feel bad

twin fern
#

/beckon will get the ones that climb on you sometimes to do it immediately (no effect on others)

obsidian patio
#

Yeah they’ll sit on your shoulder, or your head if you’re a lalafell

sturdy mason
#

cat's can't climb on me right?

twin fern
#

nope

obsidian patio
#

Don’t think any of the current ones can

leaden ginkgo
#

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 😦

sturdy mason
#

What am I even looking at Wynne

twilit arch
#

that's the wind-up nanamo standing on his unripened potato head

obsidian patio
#

Yeah I could’ve done a better angle

sturdy mason
#

Will ||Ryne|| stand on your head too?

twilit arch
#

typical lalafel picture. at night, bad angle

obsidian patio
#

No idea, my guess is no

twilit arch
#

hmm, probably not

obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo general suggestion is to try a VPN to help speed things up

twilit arch
#

I think namao is the only wind-up npc minion that does

obsidian patio
#

Garuda does too

twilit arch
#

i meant of the non...uh enemy types

#

like wind-up hien, etc

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio Is there a recommended VPN that is suggested? I don't really know my VPN's

tough marsh
#

@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

twilit arch
#

transfer to regular service

obsidian patio
#

I think Mudfish is a general suggestion, but I’ll ping @tender estuary for his opinion on VPNs too

tough marsh
#

Thank you 🙂 and then i click enter registration code right?

twilit arch
#

yes

tender estuary
#

yeah mudfish works fine

I'm currently leveling paladin and it's at 60 what's the fastest way to get it to 70?

twilit arch
#

do msq if you've still got that

#

otherwise do your msq/leveling/alliance roulette and spam highest level dungeon

Oh no msq paladin is my 2nd class

Ah okay

#

@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

obsidian patio
#

There’s a unicorn from a level 30 conjurer quest.

twilit arch
#

there's a couple on the achievement vendor, for achievement certs

left moth
#

can get a bunch of mounts from gold saucer but that requires a certain umm... committment (time wise)

obsidian patio
#

There’s also a mount or two buyable with Wolf Marks, which are from PVP

tough marsh
#

@twilit arch I have zero, and i do mean zero idea what an achievement vendor is lol

obsidian patio
#

It’s jonathas in old Gridania, at apkallu falls

tough marsh
#

@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?

obsidian patio
#

They’re in there, they just don’t have a consistent name scheme

#

Lemme double check the naming of them

tough marsh
#

That would be amazing! Thank you very much @obsidian patio I'm currently googling how to get points for his shop atm

Is there a glamour Discord?

proper junco
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

I found some unique gear but I'm trying to find the regular one that might be dyeable or an all class equivalent

obsidian patio
#

Search the item on garland tools

#

It can tell you if an item shares a model with another item

#

@proper junco nope. :/

proper junco

why no?

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i change channels?

obsidian patio
#

Chat channels for in-game? You can click on the chat bubble near where you enter text

#

There’s also commands/keybinds too

leaden ginkgo
#

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

twilit arch
#

you need to go to one of the zone aetherytes

#

there should be an option to change there

leaden ginkgo
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

Try updating Windows and your graphics driver 😄

deft spear
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

I already tried giving one, it's hard if not impossible if you can't update your system and drivers first...

twilit arch
#

@tender estuary

deft spear
#

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.

tender estuary
#

cam you provide me with more details

#

can**

#

does it crash asap or hang or what

deft spear
#

i log in, hit play, then there error appears and closes the game instantly

leaden ginkgo
#

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...

tender estuary
#

yeah what OS are you on

#

they dont support anything older than Windows 10 as far as im aware now

deft spear
#

windows 10 enterprise ltsc

leaden ginkgo
#

8.1 is still supported according to their system requirements

tender estuary
#

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

deft spear
#

nah that doesn't work

#

ive tried

tender estuary
#

are you using discord overlay or any other overlays

#

anything that can attach itself to the game might be causing issues

deft spear
#

i might have

tender estuary
#

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

deft spear
#

i am

leaden ginkgo
#

LTSC stays on the same version for uhh... 2 years iirc?

tender estuary
#

doesnt that mean long term support? I cant remember

leaden ginkgo
#

Yep

#

(technically you can't even acquire it as an individual)

past hornet
#

hey Minako what's your pfp from? is it original?

tender estuary
#

yeah I wouldnt think so

leaden ginkgo
#

Official art from Persona Q2! contentcarby @past hornet

tender estuary
#

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

past hornet
#

ah, thanks :)

deft spear
#

damn its gonna be a pain in the ass if thats the true problem

leaden ginkgo
#

If I had to guess LTSC doesn't have the Media Feature Pack installed by default hence it makes the game crash on startup...

tender estuary
#

yeah thats a good guess and probably right

leaden ginkgo
#

Which might confirm my suspicion that the game requires it...

How do i get a retainer?

tender estuary
#

yeah thats probably exactly what the problem is

obsidian patio
#

!faq retainer

zinc orbitBOT
#
Retainer Guide
Info

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)

tender estuary
#

thats funny I almost entirely forgot Windows N was a thing haha

deft spear
#

thanks

#

i'll see if this works

#

:/

#

ummm the Media Feature Pack is not appearing as stated in the reddit post

deft spear
tender estuary
#

riiiip

leaden ginkgo
#

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

past hornet
#

what's the problem?

twilit arch
#

yeah @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

@leaden ginkgo you can reclaim deleted names 😄

deft spear
#

i get an error when i open the game @past hornet :)

leaden ginkgo
#

I like that

past hornet
#

what error?

deft spear
#

if you scroll up you will see it

past hornet
#

ah

leaden ginkgo
tender estuary
#

I cant find anything on a build for windows 10 enterprise

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd say update -> format -> use 10 Home/Pro in this order 😄

tender estuary
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Most people use LTSC illegally to avoid all the Home/Pro bloat/telemetry/forced updates...

#

But shhhhh

deft spear
#

shhh

#

:)

tender estuary
#

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

deft spear
#

aight

tough marsh
#

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

twilit arch
#

unfortunately no, the items that work for 50/70 were pre-order bonus items

#

thus they are no longer available

tough marsh
#

That's what google said i was just hoping i missed something is all, bummer

leaden ginkgo
#

Perhaps preorder keys are in the open somewhere...

#

But resellers can be shady sometimes

raven sage
#

They wouldn't work either way

leaden ginkgo
#

Probably would, these keys shouldn't have expiration dates

raven sage
#

They stopped accepting them in I think December

deft spear
#

@leaden ginkgo i have found out that i do in fact have Media Feature Pack installed

tender estuary
#

doing further research

rich bay
tender estuary
#

this is a new post and has quite a few people discussing it

#

someone mentioned running it through geforce experience works funny enough

deft spear
#

nah

tender estuary
#

if you have an nvidia gpu worth a try

deft spear
#

that didnt work

tender estuary
#

damn

rich bay
tender estuary
#

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

rich bay
#

Yes, i agree Hank.

leaden ginkgo
#

Too bad it doesn't run under Linux/Proton yet :(

tender estuary
#

install gentoo

#

im gonna play XIV in the CLI

leaden ginkgo
#

Ask SE for the source code then you can play it in the CLI wearycarby

#

Need to compile first

tender estuary
leaden ginkgo
#

...While we're at it, is the frame limiter really broken?

#

A 60fps lock is actually a 48fps lock on borderless wearycarby

past hornet
#

does this mean you can become level 80 in all classes with one character? or is this for something else

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes!

past hornet
#

ah that's kinda cool

leaden ginkgo
#

Changing classes/job is as easy as swapping your weapon 😄

dim ridge
#

even the non-combat stuff.

past hornet
#

noice

warped nest
#

Once you completed any lvl 10 class quest, you will open up the option to swap classes.

#

Lvl 15 msq will open up all the starters cities, giving you access to all ARR DoW/M

#

I just collected all the aether things in an area, what else do I do to fly?

twilit arch
#

are you certain you collected all aether currents, both open world and side quest?

stray saffron
#

look at travel > mount speed

#

if you can't fly by just jumping on your mount, you missed something

#

sorry

#

travel > aether currents

thick bolt
#

Yup all the crystals are filled

#

using my compass also tells me none are around

obsidian patio
#

Then your mounts can fly now

thick bolt
#

it can not

whole wasp
#

There are two rows of crystals fyi. Bottom for currents. Above for sidequests

obsidian patio
#

Besides the grand company chocobo and the magitek Mount, which need sidequests

twilit arch
#

are you trying to fly with your company chocobo?

whole wasp
#

Are you using your company chocobo?

twilit arch
#

because you need to do a side quest to make it fly

thick bolt
#

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

sturdy mason
twilit arch

#

How much skill does it take to be a dps?

#

Im afraid that the role is only about doing your cycle with ni though

sturdy mason
#

Does Pick Clean and Bountiful Harvest II stack?

obsidian patio
#

@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

odd bobcat
#

@obsidian patio what ks gcd?

#

But i mean after you learn you rotations you always do the same stuff?

obsidian patio
#

@sturdy mason reading the tooltip I think so.

#

It’s the timer that your non-cooldown skills go on when you use them

whole wasp
#

Gcd stands for Global CoolDown. Badically your skills that have 2.5 seconds cooldown

obsidian patio
#

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

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?

pale grotto
#

Trusts are also decent especially if youre queues are crazy long

fleet fable
#

Dunno about that, I’m still level 39

How can I unlock it ?

obsidian patio
#

Then you don’t.

pale grotto
#

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.

Oh I thought even if it was introduced in heavensward I can fly

is bard any good dps wise in the current patch?

Im thinking of starting archer but no clue if it would be worth

rancid spruce
#

@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.

whole wasp
#

@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.

Can someone give me the rundown on what "golden box farming in Pagos" is?

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

whole wasp

Its subjective. I couldnt stand the rng procs but many love it. You can watch the job action trailers too.

#

whats the difference between idividual and shared macro tab

#

also theres no macro to start crafting is there?

whole wasp
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

Individual = macros specific to that character
Shared = macros shared by all characters on your account

onyx kiln
#

How long would it take to max out the HW and SB beast tribes if you do their quests every time day?

obsidian patio
#

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

onyx kiln
#

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

So its 1 piece of gear for 5-8 raid, and 4 tomes a week?

junior yacht
#

one item from each floor, and one tome

odd bobcat
#

Do people mix job skills?

obsidian patio
#

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

ionic estuary
#

Do i get 60-61 exp in POTD?

obsidian patio
#

yes, but it stops scaling at 60.

leaden ginkgo
#

Its severely reduced

ionic estuary
#

so what is the best way to 61 from 60 then?

leaden ginkgo
#

Its best to do 60 great gubal library and 61 sirensong sea

obsidian patio
#

Leveling/alliance/MSQ roulette too

ionic estuary
#

as dps it's a bit long to wait for dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

Do roulettes, or beasttribes

#

Then when 61 do Asian PotD

ionic estuary
#

dam, i guess there's no way but to buy a gear t_t

leaden ginkgo
#

Honestly you could go from 61-70 with just Heaven on high and not worry about gear

rare sable
#

You can do beast tribe while waiting for queue

leaden ginkgo
#

60 you could just queue msq roulette and try not to be bored during it

ionic estuary
#

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)

leaden ginkgo
#

...yeah youre gonna want gear

obsidian patio
#

You can get poetics gear from Idyllshire

leaden ginkgo
#

Just put it in your chocobo saddle bag or retainer inventories until you need it for another class

ionic estuary
#

i'll probably just do that, thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

o7

ionic estuary
#

blu is 60 lvl max right now?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

whole wasp
#

yup

ionic estuary
#

oh well, then i'll use this gear for him

unborn lagoon
#

How can I find the cutscene of the WoL giving advice to ryne about being friends with gaia?

#

Having trouble finding it

odd bobcat
#

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

last kayak
#

Are the Hobgoblins in ShB literally just our normal Goblins but without their masks on?

obsidian patio
#

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

odd bobcat
#

Fast and a lot of butons to press

#

@obsidian patio when is titan? I think i will skip until titan so

obsidian patio
#

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.

odd bobcat
#

For range i will play sumoner i think

#

I always liked the pupet idea

whats the setting to disable the popup about achievements everytime I load into a new zone?

obsidian patio
#

Looks like you can only disable the box that appears when you log in.

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I turn off glamour plates?

obsidian patio
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Ps4?

obsidian patio
#

Same thing, square is your right-click and X is your click

leaden ginkgo
#

I think I'm doing something wrong

#

I clicked remove item image from plate

obsidian patio
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

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

obsidian patio
#

there should be a save button at the bottom of the plate window to save changes done to it.

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

yes

wintry bloom
#

what is the fastest way to level up pre 50?

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohhh so the glamour plate basically is just a set of glamour that gets casted on every new equipment over and over right

obsidian patio
#

every time you apply it, yes

#

!faq altlvlguide

leaden ginkgo
#

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

tough sandal
#

has anyoen come into this error Error Code: i2501 when trying to buy something from the mog station?

obsidian patio
#

General-issue error. It can be cause by using a VPN, public/unstable Wifi connection, or trying to press buttons too many times.

leaden ginkgo
#

Does ishgard have a mb?

obsidian patio
#

In the Jeweled Crozier.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

nova lantern
#

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

tough sandal
#

i have no vpn are thier any know fixs for it?

obsidian patio
#

belt, you'll have bigger total gains.

leaden ginkgo
#

I actually got the 2501 error trying to log in as well last week

obsidian patio
#

Just waiting, for the most part.

tough sandal
#

is thier support team worth contacting about it?

leaden ginkgo
#

For me I got the error once and when I tried to log in again it worked

#

So it seems to be spontaneous

obsidian patio
#

if you keep getting the error past 24 hours, then yes

tough sandal
#

alright

nova lantern
#

Next piece to upgrade between ring/bracelet/head/chest? All at 430? This time chest will give bigger gains right

obsidian patio
#

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

nova lantern
#

Alright, thanks!

dusk merlin
#

There wouldn't happen to be an easy to get >440 weapon would there?

manic oasis
#

is there a setup where i can keep the vertical camera angle fixed, but allowed to move the horizontal angle?

obsidian patio
#

@dusk merlin pretty much only the Crafted i450 (Facet) and i480 (Neo-Ishgardian) weapons.

#

second best option would be the phantasmagoria weapon

dusk merlin
#

I can only craft up to i430 right now and that's only with WVR and GSM so that's out sadly

obsidian patio
#

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

dusk merlin
#

Probably way over the budget I have

obsidian patio
#

@manic oasis Not that I can clearly remember. :\

dusk merlin
#

I'll just tough out running tank through eden part 2

#

WAR has the 470 weapon, MCH has the 440 weapon

stable herald
#

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

obsidian patio
#

pretty much, yeah.

stable herald
#

But doing that makes it REALLY confusing

obsidian patio
#

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

stable herald
#

Those really throw me for a loop

#

Cz of the whole positionals

obsidian patio
#

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

queen flame
#

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.

stable herald
#

It gets very hectic esp during boss fights

#

My main stumble is due to the positionals

queen flame
#

dont get fixed on that

obsidian patio
#

it's better to miss the positional rather than waiting to use the skill on the right positional

queen flame
#

exactly

stable herald
#

Can I just double confirm, for the mob positions

#

Rear is just flat out no lines, yes?

queen flame
#

when you have greased lightning to keep up, positionals just kinda become a secondary thing

stable herald
#

I hover along that dotted line

#

But sometimes im not sure if I get it coreectly

queen flame
#

as long as you dont stand in the front, you're fine

stable herald
#

How do you guys set up? Do you have skmehing similar to mine?

#

Something

queen flame
#

like, our skills on the hud?

stable herald
#

Yea

#

Im curious about how best to set it up

queen flame
#

mine are quite different. but i use a similar setup for all classes.

stable herald
#

Do tell

queen flame
#

let me get a couple of screenshots

stable herald
#

Thanks

twin kelp
#

Where can I pick up a second anima quest?

#

for another weapon

queen flame
#

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

stable herald
#

But i thought dragon kick is d new combo starter?

queen flame
#

it depends, on monk you rotate it with bootshine

stable herald
#

Also, very neat

gloomy ice
#

@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.

queen flame
#

and since you unlock bootshine first, it just kinda stuck with 1

gloomy ice
#

Note that SAM, RDM, DNC, and GNB do not have anima relics.

twin kelp
#

@gloomy ice I'm at her right now and I can't accept her quest.

stable herald
#

I see... thanks!

#

No achievement for 50-ing all classes right?

obsidian patio
#

there is, just for the base ARR jobs, crafters, and gatherers

stable herald
#

I'm just left with.. healers edgeypaissa

#

WAY too stressful to heal

twin kelp
#

nvm i figured it out

proper junco
#

where do you trade in geota tomestones

queen flame
#

Mor Dhona, Auriana i think it is

worthy summit
#

@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?

obsidian patio
#

correct, it's a chance

worthy summit
#

is that the item i should look for?

#

if so then this way might not work anymore

queen flame
#

crystal sand?

#

do you have spare allowances?

obsidian patio
#

elemental materia isn't a thing anymore

#

that option is only there for people who still have any leftover

tough marsh
#

Which is a better skill to do, blacksmith or armorer or goldsmith

obsidian patio
#

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

worthy summit
#

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

obsidian patio
#

You need to kill the extreme primals for the right materials

worthy summit
#

what materials?

#

OOh, the "primal pieces" thing?

obsidian patio
#

yes

worthy summit
#

So i'm guessing there is no the easy way on it

obsidian patio
#

If you have a level 70 or 80 they're super easy to solo

worthy summit
#

yeah that they are

#

but i need 3 of them for just 3 sand

obsidian patio
#

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

worthy summit
#

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

obsidian patio
#

👌

queen flame
#

@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

obsidian patio
#

^

#

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

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

you can't, they'll use it automatically when in healer or free stance

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm new to the game

#

Are there guilds? I looked but didnt find any tabs for it

#

Or is it named something else?

slate arrow
#

Free Comapany

proud willow
#

They're called Free Companies

#

FC for short

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh. Are they just like guilds? I like having guild chat while i play

proud willow
#

Yup

leaden ginkgo
#

Keeps the existential dread away while i farm through quests

proud willow
#

There's no real downside to joining one. If you shout in one of the main cities, someone will probably invite you

oak ice
#

Can't join one if you're on the free trial

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks for the help

#

Guilds were always my fav part in mmos

slate arrow
#

also there's no global chat

#

so there's that I guess

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh there isnt?

#

I thought i just didnt hit a level to see and do global chat

proud willow
#

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

mint shale
#

can i still gain desynth level by desynth-ing?

obsidian patio
#

yes, desynth still has a level system

#

they just removed the level caps and chance to fail

mint shale
#

oh

#

but i dont gain points from desynth fishes from ocean fishing?

obsidian patio
#

that's because they're desynth level of 1

mint shale
#

oh

obsidian patio
#

you don't gain levels from stuff you greatly outlevel

mint shale
#

ohh

so I can just spam all dailies every day?

yes

#

you can only do up to 12 beast tribe quests a day

#

What are the limitations of the versatile lure?

whole wasp
#

It catches everything

jade quartz
#

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.

outer star
#

Oh yeah that would be a snag when trying to do big fishing

#

No pun intended

obsidian patio
#

it also can't be used for Shadowbringers zones

obsidian patio
#

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

gather them yourself, or see if people see them cheap.

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)

obsidian patio
#

no, Piety works outside of Lucid Dreaming

#

Lucid Dreaming is a separate MP regen not boosted by Piety.

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

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

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).

is the bait for all fish in ARR Maiboi? xD

silent pike
#

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

raven star
#

First dungeon u can do it

silent pike
#

I was trying to do it in Qarn and healer couldn’t keep up

little swift
#

Whats your gear like

silent pike
#

Ilvl 32 at level 38

little swift
#

Under 50 it can be kinda iffy depending on your gear and the healers gear

silent pike
#

I remember with PLD I started doing it around 40-50 but I was a less experienced tank back then

little swift
#

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

Are you trying to queue for something?

ancient smelt
#

yeh for normal raid at 60 but now i understand why i have only one normal raid unlock

proud willow
#

ancient smelt
#

#

@raven star omni-bait: Freshwater Boilies and Saltwater Boilies.

left moth
#

complete one, other unlocked and can do roulettes of that type

jade quartz
#

But they have the same problem as the Versatile Lure in that they prevent you from going after specific fish

left moth
#

that's probably the issue if just have fist of the father (a1) done

jade quartz
#

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"

/wait 0.7
/ac "Methodical Appraisal”
/wait 0.7
/ac “Discerning Eye”

warped nest
#

Wait don't work in decimals

#

And crafter actions need to wait 2 or 3 seconds, buff is 2, action is 3

ancient smelt
#

say not a valid action methodical appriasal more than one time
is gathering?

warped nest
#

Oh wait

#

That's gathering

#

Anyhow

#

Wait don't work in 0.7s

jade quartz
#

You also don't need to take up a macro line to do a wait command.

warped nest
#

/ac "stuff" <wait.3>

jade quartz
#

Instead you can do this:
/ac "Single Mind" <wait.1>

ancient smelt
#

i tried <wait0.3> too but still a error

warped nest
#

Read what we type

jade quartz
#

Wait only works in integers.

#

1

#

no decimals

#

The shortest you can wait is one second.

#

Then two seconds.

warped nest
#

wait.1 means wait for 1 sec.

#

It doesn't mean wait for 0.1s

#

Despite what it looks like

jade quartz
#

That error message means you didn't actually put the action names in quotation marks

#

in the macro ingame

ancient smelt
#

/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>

warped nest
#

Btw, we don't recommend using macro for gathering collectibles

ancient smelt
#

to this macro should work?

warped nest
#

You are generally better off doing them manually

jade quartz
#

That macro should function correctly

#

but ^

#

Macros are extremely inefficient for gathering collectibles.

warped nest
#

Straight out detrimental if you are aiming to yield good stuff

jade quartz
#

Highly recommend learning manual collectible gathering instead.

when can you get a mount?

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

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

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

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

'Can I make my mount faster?'

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

oh ok thanks i don't think i'm there yet

tough wolf
#

Do I need HQ Walnut Logs to make HQ Walnut Lumber?

oak ice
#

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

hot eagle
#

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

tough wolf
#

I doubt I'm what you'd consider geared as I'm level 27 but thank you both for the help. 🙂

is it possible to trade crystals?

robust magnet
#

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?

sturdy mason
#

yes

raven sage
#

Yes and yes to both Kaeron and void

sturdy mason
#

how do you do it?

#

right click in Crystals tab?

robust magnet
#

Sell on the MB via Retainer

raven sage
#

It should be a normal option from the trade menu

robust magnet
#

Or trade to a player

sturdy mason
#

what trade menu?

raven sage
#

When you trade

sturdy mason
#

oh you don't right click like you do items?

raven sage
#

No you have to initiate the trade from the player you want to trade with

sturdy mason
#

no I mean I know how to initiate trade

#

once the window is up

raven sage
#

Yeah you should just be able to select the crystals in the tab then

#

Sorry I'm still waking up

get it from the mailbox, use it then you can edit your character in character creation

white helm
#

ahh, thanks. don't think i've ever used the mailbox

bitter tinsel
#

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?

manic oasis
#

Limsa has a popular area, but you end up getting to visit on the areas

#

pretty soon

rancid vector
#

Don't worry about it, you get to tele all over the place and aquare are pretty good at fixing numbers on servers

bitter tinsel
#

cool

Just out of curiosity? what's the max level? player or mob

glass hollow
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

if i finished stormblood i can't use a lvl 70 booster?

robust magnet
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh ok then ty

robust magnet
#

I would honestly advice not to lv boost though.

leaden ginkgo
#

because you need to learn the job?

robust magnet
#

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.

glass hollow
#

yeah that lvl 70 boost sucks if you do it on you "main" job and try to do the MSQ

leaden ginkgo
#

it won't be on my main job

glass hollow
#

oh we are talking about booster and not the road to 70

#

sorry my bad

robust magnet
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

i like neither

robust magnet
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

the only classes I want to play are the 4 melee dps,DRK and red mage honestly.

robust magnet
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

well

#

only grinding dungeons gets boring after a while

#

so i guess lifeskills are a luxury i'd like to use

robust magnet
#

Can always go gathering inbetween dungeons and during the DPS queue.

leaden ginkgo
#

how long does it take to reach from 50 to 80 without the MSQ

#

on a samurai

robust magnet
#

All depends on how much you grind dungeons and deep dungeon.

glass hollow
#

what are deep dungeon?

robust magnet
#

Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High.

leaden ginkgo
#

like 2h a day and atleast 5h in the weekend

glass hollow
#

is it one of the blue quests?

robust magnet
#

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)

leaden ginkgo
#

MSQ roulette?

#

do you mean the average time you take to lvl in MSQ

#

per lvl

manic oasis
#

is orbanne monastery empty now? lol

#

1 hour queue time already :/

robust magnet
rancid orbit
robust magnet
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

from lvl 50 and above

#

?

cunning pine
#

I'm new, so like, hi? Haha

robust magnet
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

robust magnet
#

If you hate doing MSQ this might be the wrong game haha.
It all revolves around the MSQ.

leaden ginkgo
#

nah not the MSQ

#

the MSQ is ok

cunning pine
#

I love the MSG so far.

robust magnet
#

ooh.

leaden ginkgo
#

the xp it gives isn't

cunning pine
#

MSQ*

#

I am ignoring most of the side quests.

#

Is that okay?

robust magnet
#

normal side quests is fine to ignore.

leaden ginkgo
#

i remember that in 20s, it takes like 2h to lvl 2 lvls

#

which is pretty exaggerated

robust magnet
rancid orbit
#

I'm in HW postgame and I've done uh

cunning pine
#

Right.

rancid orbit
#

Every side quest except for relic/anima weapon stuff >.>

leaden ginkgo
#

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

robust magnet
#

As DPS you'll have longer queue times than anyone else.

leaden ginkgo
#

maybe it's because i was a dragoon

robust magnet
#

For every content most likely.

leaden ginkgo
#

figured

robust magnet
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

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

robust magnet
#

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.

spiral meadow
#

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

robust magnet
#

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.

spiral meadow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

well i come from MMOs that kick you from the smallest mistake

#

hehe

robust magnet
#

You won't find that in this game not as often.

spiral meadow
#

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

robust magnet
#

Just don't go into high-end content blind haha

leaden ginkgo
#

how long do you take to reach from 1-50 on average?

spiral meadow
#

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

cunning pine
#

I hope I didn't pick a dead server lol

leaden ginkgo
#

not first class

#

like second

#

when you lvl with dungeons

spiral meadow
#

if you're worried about content, you get partied up with other players from different worlds so don't worry about that

wintry chasm
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

i do main story lol

#

odc

#

ofc

spiral meadow
#

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

wintry chasm
#

As for how long it takes to get to 50

#

Ehhh

leaden ginkgo
#

@spiral meadow 3 weeks?

#

bruh

cunning pine
#

I want to buy a shiba inu. ):

#

I was promised shibas.

spiral meadow
#

I have no idea, I'm guesstimating

#

each dungeon is like a guananteed level up

#

so around less than 50 runs

wintry chasm
#

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

spiral meadow
#

It's hard for me to say, I'm simultaneously leveling all my classes

#

so my perception of time to level is waayyyyy slower

wintry chasm
#

@leaden ginkgo are you on a preferred server?

leaden ginkgo
#

i am on Pheonix

wintry chasm
#

So no

#

Got it

spiral meadow
#

just run palace of the dead, you'll hit 50 in no time

cunning pine
#

I am on Siren. Does that mean anything? lol

spiral meadow
#

do you have a buff that says you're getting extra exp until you hit lvl 70? @cunning pine

leaden ginkgo
#

what is a preferred server

spiral meadow
#

a server where you get exp faster

leaden ginkgo
#

a main big server?

cunning pine
#

Don't think so. I don't thik its a preferred server?

spiral meadow
#

because its a small server

leaden ginkgo
#

oh

#

small server

wintry chasm
#

@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

spiral meadow
#

its to compensate for the fact that its not as active as other servers

wintry chasm
#

Well that's the reason but sometimes it doesn't feel like that.

spiral meadow
#

I've only ever been on hyperion, which is always full

leaden ginkgo
#

Is phoenix a populated server?

wintry chasm
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

well by populated i mean a very big one

wintry chasm
#

EU servers are super even @leaden ginkgo

#

Unlike NA

spiral meadow
#

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?

wintry chasm
#

That is a good point fyi

cunning pine
#

Is there a big diff from aether and crystal DCs?

leaden ginkgo
#

nah i like the feeling when the server isn't deserted

wintry chasm
#

Crystal is a bit more RP focused

#

But that's it
