Hey guys is there a decent up to date guide on installing ACT? I can't seem to get it working I have the overlay and stuff but something else is wrong
Why can I not see my character? I'm level 23 if that changes anything
Not a trial account either, I own the full game and all the expansions :s
When did you make the character?
At around 6 am this morning, 15 hours ago
if I collect a zonureskin map (full party) and it says my map allowance is spent for the day, can I still collect a gliderskin map? (solo)
the allowance is gathering the actual map itself from a gathering class, not the ability to do the map
you can spam them all day
just can't get a stack from gathering
whats the general go to for farming light on lux weapons
we're two people if it makes any difference 😄
Solo primal ex unsynced iirc
for 2? a1s i thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink but solo/duo primal sounds better
anyone know how I would go about getting the full The Forgiven's Healing Set, it's not showing in the marketboard
in Mt. Gulg since it's a dungeon drop therefore untradeable
and for the light people tend to make a PF for anima farming and go to Alexander fight 9 Savage and knock it out in 2 hours with a group
@minor hare
with 8 people it takes hardly 2-3 minutes and gives the most anima
Brayflox HM is the quickest solo way to farm light
ugh I did that back then and it was actual hell
Takes forever T_T
can anyone help me with ACT? it just wont parse for me. followed a full guide, running as admin and let it through firewall
ACT hasn't been updated for 5.2 yet
oh is that...the issue? lol
Yes
you're sure?! :0
dang, gonna hit 10 on cnj and then go pick up fsh lol
Do we get a flying mount from quests in Heavensward?
Except the black chocobo (which is tagged as a ground mount, weird)
Very early on you get a black Choco, later on you get 2 more flyers
One is a tiny ship and the other is super mega spoilery
Ahhhh oki, thanks, it’s enough info! ^^
And you also get a quest to make your regular company chocobo into a flying mount
for the new ocean fishing , do you have to be max fsh for the mount& minion?
Black Chocobo is a flying mount
All mounts can fly
In my mount guide, it’s tagged as ground, maybe there is a quest to make it fly able?
!faq flying
All mounts are both ground and flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
'What zones can I fly in?'
Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.
You have to unlock flying in the zone first though
Ah there we go
@obsidian wren my Coeurl looks at me anxiously now...

I believe the lv 50 samurai/redmage gear
nope
Unless they fixed that
they added those to the salvager
Nice
afaik the only things that don't have an easy means of be reobtained are the veteran reward outfits
but those should be in your armoire anyway
They remembered to do the same to GNB and DNC starter gear?
yes
Wow
Mogstation items can't be re-aquired except for rebuying them
Garo Shield and accessories also can't be reobtained
the garo shield that is invisble is in the gold saucer tho
not the same but
for glam purposes
Didnt that get removed too
they added a new one
Or did they add a new one
new one with this patch
"Emperor's new shield" iirc is the name
I think the garo shield looks better personally
they're identical?
They're invisible

Anyway is E4N weapon tokens weekly locked or not?
They are, hes joking
e4n is not weekly anymore
E4N is unlocked
hasn't been weekly for some time
Alright ty
hello im new at the game lvl 17 where i can found or buy items whit 30% exp gain?
should i focus entirely on the MSQ or do some dungeons as well
you can do some dungeons if you feel like it -- at-level dungeons are a great source of exp, especially if you get a fast queue
if you don't have road to 70, doing roulettes and things will help alleviate hitting level gates in the MSQ
what is road to 70?
An EXP buff that doubles every single source of EXP
If you're doing the patch quests, they give almost no exp because they were implemented at level cap
wdym patch quests? i'm doing MSQ currently on heavensward
every quest is like 48K xp, and i need like 1M xp to hit the next lvl which is pretty exaggerated
You will be doing quite a few quests, and there are dungeons sprawled in there, too
can I get spotted fedora/spencer at calamity salvager if I delete mine?
Every main quest after The Ultimate Weapon but before the start of Heavensward are generally referred to as patch quests. Basically story quests added after the main release during major content updates.
no, you'd have to do the coeurlregina fate in the dravanian forelands to get the tokens needed to rebuy it @hoary storm
Ok ty
@gloomy ice and the ones within heavensward? cause i did the quest that gets you into ishgard like tens of quests ago
Oh well now you're in Heavensward lol
has the patch 5.2 act been released yet? 😮
there's a beta update
yes but the quests within heavensward only give 48k while i need 1Mill to lvl up
@leaden ginkgo That's by design. Leveling 50-60 was intended to take about the same amount of time as leveling 1-50. Same for 60-70 and 70-80. Your daily duty roulettes and dungeons closest to your level will be the best source of exp.
a dungeon is a guaranteed lvl up?
have ffxiv equip for farmer and crafter lvl 50?
No, but it is a huge chunk of a level
i only know the lvl 70 and 80 equip what you can buy
oh then it's ok
i can alternate between dungeons and MSQ
hey guys is there some way to save a glamour so when i get a new piece of gear or whatever i dont need to keep going back to my inn to reglamour?
Open your gearset list and right click on the job you want then click Link to Glamour Plate. As long as you're in a city or residential area, that glamour plate will always be applied to whatever gear you assign to that gearset.
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Me and my friends cant enter palace of the dead .. they’re from different servers is that okay?
Anyone know where this map location is? It's just a lvl40 Leather map, but I've been scratching my head for too long on where it can possibly be...
@opal shoal north of Camp Drybone, the bottom-right of the loop that leads to the Golden Bazaar
Oh god, thank you. the smaller details of the map were throwing me off.
@honest ocean everyone has to have an open save file and be in quarrymill/the area to que into palace as a group
Thanks yeah that was it
where can i find a recipe for this item?
Do I need to clear Eden 1-4S to unlock 5-8S?
73 alc @daring robin
no @hoary storm
you just need to clear normal mode of 5-8 to do savage
@twilit arch ooohh, thank you!
Why do I have to rejoin the NN every time I log in? 🤔
there should be a setting to automatically try and get you back into it i think?
due to limited slots everyone afk for a while or offline automatically gets kicked out
Is there any way to change the color of macroicons so that they aren't dimmed, if the micon is an action? Also if there's any way to remove the 25 from the bottom one
hello all, i need help! i want to get back into this game with my wife, its been years, but after trying to log back in, im being told the email address i used is no longer linked to an account!!!

frig off bot, im trying to retrurn !
its an automatic message, dude
i know
my sad attempt at humor
so i found my character on the lodestone, still doesnt rectify the fact its telling me my email isnt linked to an acc
do you have a second e-mail you could try
contact SE they can help you recover the email if you added security questions and you can verify who you are
otherwise can try contacting SE support via phone, (310)846-0345
what does this mean for gatherers?
yeah ive tried both my accounts, when i try to recover, it says this email is not associated with a square enix account.
It means there's no hidden items in the node
Some node sets have hidden items like maps or other stuff
That appear randomly
i might ber able to login if i could remember my login ID, i only remember my main toons name
alright thx
which is the most popular lvl 50 dungeon?
none of them since they're all in roulette
Probably the story dungeons, which would be Snowcloak and Keeper of the Lake
But yeah the level 50/60/70 roulette keeps queues fairly balanced
1h? Like one hour?
yes
oh i think someone here told me a daily roulette is taking a hour to clear
Sounds like they’re talking about Praetorium, which is about 40-something minutes of combat and cutscenes
Perhaps main scenario roulette, which can be around 45 minutes if you get the Praetorium.
(Which you usually do)
can't skip cutscenes lol?
nope
well that's surely sucks
But Main Scenario Roulette is extremely good for experience
i hope they are atleast entertaining
There are long-standing problems with the two duties in Main Scenario Roulette
There are only 2 dungeons where it doesn't let you skip cutscenes
there are too many cutscenes mid-dungeon and older players used to just run ahead and leave new players behind to watch the cutscenes and miss out on the dungeon
was overall a terrible experience for new players.
never watch a cutscene in a dungeon
So they eventually made the cutscenes unskippable but greatly increased the experience that's rewarded for your increased time doing the roulette.
oh that's actually good
It is expected that new players will watch cutscenes in dungeons.
For the most part players in this game will wait for you
and it's considered rude to rush ahead
but these two dungeons had just
you can probably find it on the internet or something why would you waste your time
massive amounts of cutscenes.

Because people care about this game's story
it's a major draw of the game.
and dungeon cutscenes almost never take more than like 15 seconds
i never skip a cutscene when i do MSQ that don't involve a dungeon
but in the dungeon itself?
there are very few exceptions
bruh
anyone know what "Manacutter Key" is for? its in my inventory but I cant remember where or how to use it 
oh lol thx
it will be added to your mount collection.
Overthinking 4tw
You shouldn't feel pressured in any way to skip cutscenes in dungeons.
Other players will 99% of the time not expect you to skip
and wait for you.
Yeh anyone that makes you is a doodoohead
that's a very understanding community
Usually it's just a 10 second cutscene before the final boss anyway
There are like three dungeons where there's a longer one
Two of those are in 1-50 content
and one's at level 60
that's all I can think of anyway.
in BnS you can watch a 10Sec cutscene and if there is an old player in the party he can DpS the first boss alone in 15sec, nobody waits there lol.
The devs learned greatly from their mistakes with the two dungeons that are in MSQ roulette with their mega amounts of cutscenes.
That's not possible here with gear and level sync.
yes i saw that
I recovered my account ! remembered my old ID. and yes, derpy me was using a different email...do they have a returning friend code thingy still ?
if i remember correctly, they had an offer for a returning friend to get 2 weeks free?
That ended
temporary campaign that happens sometimes when there's not a major patch just released
Another one is unlikely to happen for at least the better part of a year.
so im sdtuck paying to play again with no freebies?
is there a gear guide for lvl 50s in here?
can't do snowcloack nor keeper of the lake with the gear they gave in the samurai quest
The gear guide is: purchase Ironworks gear with Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.
from Auriana in Revenant's Toll.
At least for another few months
The samurai quest doesn't give you any accessories. Fill those slots first.
yikes, still $20 CAD per month, plus expansions.... think the wife and i will stick to guildwars....
nah, shes your mother xD
chill dude my mother exists
oh ok ty
Pretty sure no
hey, my girlfriend is visiting for a couple of weeks and wants to play, but my launcher is the steam version and she has a non-steam account - is there any way to get around this without having to redownload the entire game again but as the windows version?
No
I’ve never heard of SE doing things between accounts :/
No
I think you could just drag and drop the files for the non steam install but the launcher is pretty terrible at finding existing files sometimes
what we’re looking at doing now is basically that, it’s hard to find stuff online for this particular thing though (since the searches are all throwing up results for “launch steam version without steam launcher”)
worst case I can just reinstall the windows version on my HDD I guess
what are replica anemos weapons? I wanna check out the Murgleis anemos to see what it looks like with dye

They're stat-less versions of the various steps of the Eureka weapon upgrade line which you can use for glamour.
I.e. you've upgraded your RDM weapon all the way to Physeos stage, but you really liked what it looked like at Anemos stage
so you get the replica version and glamour it.
You can only buy replicas of weapons you've actually obtained.
Getting an Anemos weapon doesn't take much time
Eureka is very easy and soloable now
yes, Eureka cannot be unsynced
but it has massive Echo bonus
No you do not have to be a red mage
You can collect the crystals as any job.
But also
people still do Eureka anyway
in groups
Is the umbrella in yet? Does it go in the mount tab?
Not yet implemented.
Ok
alrighty, thanks
Thanks
ill probs run around as DRK and kill stuff then
When they are added, the umbrellas/parasols will not go in the mount tabe, but have their own actions in the general tab of the actions & traits menu.
I need some help
Yoshida expressed in the live letter that they plan to eventually add a dedicated "parasols" tab like the mount guide, but only after they had added a sufficient number of parasols to justify it.
What's up?
I'm trying to upgrade from free trial to full version with codes from gamestop. A 60 day sub code and Shadowbringers Code
but the site is saying they're invalid
You need a code for the base game
That's correct
Make sure it's not on Steam
Steam keys and non-Steam PC keys aren't compatible on the same service account.
now that Steady Hand is gone, is Hasty Touch worthless now?
(update: we reinstalled just the non-steam launcher on my hard drive and directed it to the existing game folder and it looks like ff14 is working fine now)
Alright
@elfin grove it’s still good in terms of CP efficiency for the lower levels, it’s just riskier now
what IS the go-to touch now anyways? Basic..? How much CP is needed now? sheesh
do there happen to be any square enix promo codes active right now?
Preparatory is the main one usually
Delicate Synthesis pre-5.2 used to see good use, but I haven’t checked if current rotations use it
If I wanna be the best CUL, what other doh skills should I acquire
or is cross skills still a thing
DoH cross-class is no longer a thing.
Same as ever
Sharing materials
Intermediate crafts
Specialising in one crafter isn't gonna get you far in terms of making any money
or
being able to even make full sets of things
Is there a way to see what gear drops from what dungeon boss? like dungeon journal in wow?
Nope
I just wanna make food
Just look for the dungeon on Eorzea database
Also want to be sure on this
official website
so how do we see certain transmogs?
by purchasing it through the store, I'll get the registration code in my email?
Or you may find it easier to use Gamer Escape wiki
anyone?
There is no ingame directory of transmogs (which we call glamours)
But there's https://xivstyle.com/
I never bought from the SE store so I can confirm for myself
But you should get an email with your code
As far as I understand yes, Jirou
XIVstyle still hasn't updated to have a bit of post-ShB stuff and it irks me :V
now just waiting on order to be processed
@leaden ginkgo You can find loot tables on this site https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/
is there a channel for sharing glamour sets
looking for a non-armor looking war glam
https://mirapri.com/ Japanese equivalent
MIRAPRI SNAP(ミラプリスナップ)はFF14(ファイナルファンタジー14)のミラージュプリズムのシステムを利用したスクリーンショット投稿サイトです。自慢のおしゃれコーディネートを共有したり、お気に入りのミラプリを見つけられるかも。
which is also very frequently used
The base game comes with 30 days' free sub
See if friend that's getting me into it has a recruitment code
I know
but I went ahead and grabbed a sub time code too so I won't need to sub again until 3 months
Got a friend who is interested in getting the full game, loving the trial, but isn't sure about getting the expacs yet. is there a list of content you're locked out of if you just get the base game or is it as simple as just the expac races, jobs and stories/areas? I figure its likely mostly just those but I worry I've missed edge things that are also excluded
It's as simple as that.
All event content is accessible within the base game
all permanent crossover content requires the relevant expansion
for example, monster hunter requires stormblood
Brand new player, just about to finish downloading the client; which would be a better starter target class, Dragoon or Summoner? Thinking in terms of ease of play, solo capabilities etc.
Or is there even something else?
i'd say of the two, dragoon has a static rotation while summoner is absurdly mobile for a caster
Personally I'd say summoner because you're less likely to miss your attacks due to mechanics
Gotcha, thanks. Is the summoner quite pet orientated or just using temp summons for DPS?
it's pet oriented at first but it's based around temp summons once you hit 70
even then you're not really managing your pets nowdays
you're merely just using their attacks as a resource
I'd assume it sounds very similar to WoW's Warlock from back in Vanilla?
!action Egi Assault 1
I've never played WoW
But basically your pet attacks are on the GCD so you can use them as a weaving resource or a mobility resource instead of having to use ruin 2
(or a ruin 4 stack once you unlock them)
Can someone send a ss of their CUL hotkeys on a gamepad?
need to sort out all these unused skills
I'll start out with Summoner then, thanks.
and redo my keys
what is the optimal sequence for ten chi jin on ninja? is there one for aoe and single target as well
!faq ninguide
as a dps going into an area with a bunch of enemies should I just kill them one by one?
my question wasn't answered yesterday
What is this area, the overworld or an instanced dungeon/trial?
Sorta depends on what your class is versus how weak the enemies are I guess?
If they're super weak go for the aoes if they're somewhat strong best do single
yeah but I risk pulling other enemies close by when I aoe
which is the problem
which is why I died the first time
do long ranged pull and take them to a safer area
they have an aggro limit so don't go too far but basically just drag them a bit further from any other enemies and go HAM
the safer area is out of their zone
You can use your ST rotation abilities (no Standard/Tech Step) to pick off a few mobs at your personal comfort level.
yeah just do single targets with no standard step, that's too risky
make sure you have a chocobo out too, those guys help quite a bit in the overworld
oh right
got it
Need some help/ pointers on an FC, new to bring be an FC leader and I'm having be troubme recruiting,
Why is my name yelliw
That’s because of your datacenter role
I'm blue because I'm from Crystal datacenter, you are from primal
Ok don't remember it being yellow had to ask ty
Most important tip for an FC is to never give any rank the permission to promote/demote except those you absolutely trust
As people with that permission can promote themselves to any rank besides FC leader
Or unlimited FC chest access

is it necessary to level up roles like carpentry and leatherworking?
No.
You don't have to.
Crafting and gathering is optional
Honestly anything other than your first combat class is optional.
It's just something else to do, they can help make you some extra money later on but otherwise totally optional
I know how to run a proper fc, just don't kn ok w how to recruit lol
You can advertise in /shout chat in major cities.
Or in the recruiting channel here or the recruiting discord
Unlocked ruby ex but its not showing up in df?
Is it worth to keep doing PotD from 60 to 61 to enter HoH, or is it too slow?
It's in the high end duty tab
Ohh I see ty
Xp from PotD drops drastically at 60, just do roulettes and beast tribes to hit 61
Is there a list of items added in the bicolor gemstone exchange?
Can anyone explain what a static is?
@uncut girder a static refers to a premade group. Usally one that raids weekly and with no others.
Like the same group week in and week out. Usually have meeting/raid times... ect.
then maybe i will have always a hard time.
dont have ppls for clearing E5S.
dunno what i can do
PUGs are still learning.
Wait until more video guides/strats come up
PUGs are almost always behind when progging
And a bit slower too.
my fc leader told something about static, he said he is E8S, and im still ilv 473 and played E5S 5h straight without results
Statics are alot better organized
They have clear roles. Often are friends and good raiders
And usally play the same job every time
And they have good communication/VC between em
Its just how it is
Ive just reached heavensward why is this better than ARR? What new things can I do in it
You can fly in the expansion zone once you done the necessary steps to unlock them
does the latest beast tribe give the latest tomestones?
No cause they're gatherers

How much exp roughly you get from PotD?
Is there a system in FFXIV that allows another player to overmeld your stuff? Or it just works with basic melds
Yes
Yes, the request meld feature
Oh I see, haven´t tried that, you need to have the status right?
or assuming you haven't bonded with the crafted item you can give it to them to penta meld if you know/trust them
I see, ty ty
@paper raptor https://comradezoey.neocities.org/deepdungeon.html
No you don't need any status
the existence of the status is
a pretty obscure feature which is obsolete and unused
Alright thanks guys
@obsidian patio Well that was... De-motivating...
Just started a party with a friend, does it make all of the mobs in the overworld have mob mentality? Suddenly we're pulling large packs by attacking one thing and this hasn't happened before
Some mobs are tethered to each other, seen by the brief flashing line inbetween them...others aggro through other means like casting spells (typically sprites) and such
I get that bit, but if I drop party then they don't have this mob mentality thing going on
Just confused as to why joining a party is making them do that
I'm guessing it's to make things harder for the party, but it seems silly to me
Are Hobgoblins in ShB the same as our Goblins, just without the mask?
Armoury of the Heavens' Ward: Lancer's Arms <--Can those cash shop items be dyed?
AFAIK no
All right, thanks.
@last kayak pretty sure, yes
Wow, I always imagined Goblins to be cuter underneath the mask, similar to Kobolds 😐
Can u do the new beast tribes on Fisher?
Yes I have done them with the 3 gatherers
You are gonna need a bait for some of the quests, so maybe its just easier with the other ones
Oki ty for the help c:
For a quest I used the fruit worm bait for freshwater
where i can buy weapons in the first city of maruder?
West of the main aetheryte is the shops
I think the npc is called a battlecraft supplier?
and what is gp and cp
and how to rapair itens?
@raven sage i tried but there is no weapon
only gear
nice found it
Ah the npc is also down there
what is gp and cp and how to repair itens?
There's apparently two in limsa lol
gp and cp are gatherer and crafter things
And just speak to the mender and select what you want repaired or hit repair all
what level i need tro repair itens?
@raven sage
still don get it what is gp and cp uses
If you want to repair them yourself you have to level a crafter
The mender is always available
CP and GP are used during crafts and when gathering something
It replaces the MP gauge that battle classes have
You level up crafters by crafting stuff and turning in leves, among other things
You’ll need the appropriate crafters leveled up to at most 10 levels below the equip level of the item to repair
leveling crafter classes sounds tedious
So a level 80 chest piece needs a level 70 crafter of the right kind
They massively sped up the leveling for 1-70
Grand company turn-ins are around an entire level if you turn in a HQ item
i don't know what that means but i believe you
i just started. i joined the carpentry and leatherworks guilds because they had exclamation points on them but haven't touched crafting outside the first quest

How many Ruby EX clears is it for a weapon?
Go to the City state that the crafting class starts in.
Go to the Inn of said city
Talk to the Levequest counter person (silver card icon on the map)
Take the quest and make what they want you to make
Hand it in to the same person
Big XP
Go to your grand company (Or look in your weekly/daily reset tab)
turn in what they ask you to daily
Big XP
Repeat until you're out of Levequest allowances (Indicated by the journal) and out of dailies
10
10 clears
when can i go to other city states?
Lvl 10 in the main story
Level 15 in the story
I thought it was 10
ohhh i just did my level 15 quest
Nah, 15 has the envoy quests which take you to the other starting cities
Wait 10 is when you can join other guilds
lv10 is the armoury system, 15 is where you go to the other cities yeah
Im foreigner whar crafting and gather means ? @obsidian patio
Also should iworry about this early on?
Im lv 15
Nah, the crafting and gathering classes are completely optional
But how will i repair my gear if i do not do it?
NPCs can do it for you
There are menders everywhere they will do it for you
They’re marked with a hammer on the map
What menders mean?
They repair your gear
For e8s, anyone know all the debuff duration time for Wyrm's Lament? The red and blue ones
If npc can do it why would i want level cp and gp
Crafters are the classes that make stuff, and gatherers are the classes that... well... gather stuff
Crafters can repair gear to 199% Durability, and it’s cheaper if they self-repair
Materials for crafters to craft stuff.
Just look at your map for the hammer icon. I think for Gridania they’re to the east of the leather workers guild
Might also be in the adventurer’s guild near the main Aetheryte
Yep, there also
and near the exit to the North Shroud
Menders tend to be placed near city exits as well as marketplaces.
Almost all settlements out in the overworld also have menders.
@obsidian patio im in lasnoca i think
Limsa Lominsa?
When accepting gear rewards from quests, is it better to choose the All Classes gear or the DoW?
Gear appropriate for your class.
Generally the ones with the better stats. For DoW that tends to be the DoW gear.
lvl 15 archer
Then you want whatever gear has +dexterity on it.
That's your main stat.
Strength, Intelligence and Mind provide you with literally zero effects.
Until level 50, this should be "Disciple of War" gear
Accessories at that level aren't divided into different classes, so for those it's again a matter of choosing the ones with +dexterity.
Is Facet gear still go to set for DoL/H or should I get i470 white script gear as a fresh 80?
Melded Facet is better than the new white scrip stuff
For DoH you can get away with essentially minimum melds
DoL eh, if you're lazy just use scrip gear like me
Ooh right, forgot about melding part, thanks for answers!
What part of La Noscea?
There should be one in every aetheryte settlement
and even in some of the minor non-aetheryte-having settlements
La Noscea consists of six zones.
can you solo MSQ dungeons, or is it quicker to use the duty finder?
Really hard to solo if you're the level they sync you at
Look for a small hammer on the minimap and an NPC named "Merchant and Mender" or "Mender" or "Independent Arms Mender" or some such
You can't solo at-level.
@jade quartz limsa lominsa
You can technically go in solo using "Undersized party" option in duty finder but gl doing it at level solo
14m queue times are wrecking me lol
That’s just how it be for DPS.
14m is reasonable for a DPS queue.
DPS queues have been pretty tame since 5.2
If I read correctly, when u 100% spiritbond a piece of gear, u can extract something called materia; should I be saving these or am I too low lvl to even matter?
When looking at your map, your current zone will be displayed in the upper left.
As I said, the marketplace directly west of the main aetheryte plaza.
@odd bobcat x6.2, y12.3
For map coordinates
@edgy quiver the lower tiers of materia generally aren’t worth using, but they can sometimes sell decently on the marketboard
nicee thanks
As one of the ARR relic steps wants grade 1-4 combat materia
shoud i worry about rings , neck wrist... early level?
You can buy pretty decent accessories from Bango Zango near the big Aetheryte
And then at level 30 you can buy upgrades at the jewelers in the main city markets
Which can last until you hit level 50
No.
ish.
The coordinates I gave you were for the mender
It is west down the market alleyway from the main aetheryte.
Bango Zango at the big Aetheryte has accessories
The nearest aethernet shard is Hawker's Alley.
bango zango is that merchant right there
Oh you're asking about Bango now, sorry
Whats the fastest farm for poetics?
MSQ/Alliance raid/50/60/70/normal raid roulettes, and then run any level 50/60/70 content you haven’t done yet for the first time bonus
on my map is called lower decks
And then spam either Keeper of the Lake, Aetherochemical Research Facility, Baelsar’s Wall, or The Ghimlyt Dark
thank you
@jade quartz
Just follow our instructions again to find the mender and Bango Zango, who sells accessories
All the directions we've given you have been within the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks.
is it helpful to practice normal raid for the savage version? the videos on the savage make it look like a whole diff raid compared to its normal counterpart :/
Yes so you know basic mechanics and how they function
Savage often removes.aoes and telegraphs
Yes, it does help somewhat. Mechanics are different, but it does help.
Then adds more mechs
okayy
@obsidian patio mmy acessories is better then bango
Then no need to worry about them! 👌
when do i get a a monster to ride?
!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.
does new monsters needs real money?
A few mounts are bought from the mogstation (FFXIV account site + cash shop) but not all of them
do you need real money to look cool in this game?
No
nuice
where do i go to have ppl play with me?
The coolest armor is earned in gameplay
give the game a try 🙂 i thought we needed real money for all that stuff too, but couldnt be any more wrong
there is a cash shop but its cosmetic
and listen to Wynne, hes the real mvp of this discord
You can try asking in the main city marketplaces for an invite to a free company, which are the player guilds of the game
kinda a bit convenient since one thing you can buy is kinda pay for convenience aka retainers
which = more storage space
Which is the easiest melee dps to learn and perform well at lategame?
Probably Dragoon. The rotation never changes

I thought ninja was rather complicated?
someone know about latin comunity on ffixv?
latinamerican xD
I'm thinking of picking up another retainer or two (already have MIN BTN and combat). Not sure though, 4 bucks more to the sub fee sounds off putting, but the benefits seem nice.
Are Fisher Retainers any good?
WHAT Is wind up airship iten?
a minion iirc
A minion
what does it do?
Just follows you around
In a sense
Small toy that follows you
Doesn't fight
Some sit on your shoulder
Or do small interactions with other minions
Where are these from? https://twitter.com/55_Waltz/status/1229724405430767616?s=19
Which class
id guess a mix of leatherworker and weaver
weaver
pet is only a astetic thing so?
Is that the new map crafted
how do i learn to glamour?
Lv15 quest in vesper bey
the mat is from the new map yes.
To unlock it
how do i get there from gridania?
Do the msq until you get to go to uldah
Then go out and run there
Alternatively go to limsa and use the ferry from arcanist guild
Do i get other movement skill besides runing?
Tanks all have a gap closer, Bard/Machinist/Dancer get an out of combat movement ability boost, Ninja has a naturally higher movement speed, and monk has a stance that boosts movement speed (and later boosts their damage through their gauge)
this ninja skill is like ateleports?
Kinda
but im talking to run faster on citys
taking advantage of the city’s Aetheryte network
The small aetherytes spread around the main city
you see the mini shards around the map when you're in a city
those are the network nodes
you have to attune to them manually before you can teleport to them by interacting with them
!action peloton
These
i want a Red XIII minion
There is one of them in the first city? Do i need to pay gil to use them too?
Also where is my race custom iten? Do i get one from log in and one from expansion?
Yeah there’s multiple in the main cities, they’re free to use.
In linsa lominsa there is one
You only get one free Fantasia (race/gender change item) through the story from the level 50 story quest “The Ultimate Weapon”
The Arcanist guild, the culinarian’s guild, the Aftcastle, Hawker’s Alley, Fisher’s guild, and the Marauder’s guild
Might be forgetting one
You look for them
Nuice
And you attune to them so you can teleport around the cities more easily
Thanks a lot
Yeah was geting bored to run
Is nice now and then but city are too big
Is there a point in trying to craft onishi DoH/DoL sets? They are lvl70 gear, as I noticed that there seems to be scrip sets for lvl70 which are higher item level?
Not really anymore
at this point, not really
but I am guessing what's worth crafting is the weapons?
Maruder combo skill , is base demage plus combo demage or only combo demage?
hand/landking are easier to get and will get you thru 70-80
Only the combo damage
those gears will only apppear when i reach the particular expansion right?
There is a doc about demage works?
currently halfway through HW, was hoping to gear up
Handking is accessible once you complete the level 61 quest “Reach Long and Prosper” in Rhalgr’s Reach.
i see. thank you!
For the level 60 set you’ll need to reach Idyllshire
@odd bobcat not really for the low levels
Okk
But the general stat priority is Weapon Damage > Main stat (strength for marauder) > secondary stats
So make sure to keep your weapon somewhat close to your level
Also why paladin does more demage then warrior?
For a newbie perspective warrior looks like the tank dps
All tanks are capable of DPS, and they’re actually quite balanced in their damage/defensive abilities
As for why I can’t really answer as I don’t look deep into the damage calculations/rotations
Sorry, another question about DoH and DoL, with scrip gears, there honestly isnt a reason to buy gear at lvl70, correct? only reason would be for glam or if i am dying to craft and dont have access to the script vendor yet
probably know the answer myself, but wanted to double check 
The Handking/Landking sets at 70 are good enough to last almost all the way to 80
I only had to replace my tools around level 76 or so
Not sure if this is the place, but I did a quick search on reddit and it didn't come up with anything useful.
My issue: I just purchased Shadowbringers + game time, but when I log in it prompts me to register. I use the windows version of the game, with 0 attachments to steam. I checked Mogstation and my account status is "Standard Recurring", I did a fresh redownload of the game also, and I'm unsure how I should proceed. Can I get any help?
Do you already have the base game registered?
I should, yes. I have every version with an "o" next to it

I sent in an email to squenix customer support though. If nothing pops up in your mind, don't worry about it. 🙂
when cmaking submersible/airship stuff ,does using HQ mats matter at all?
does anyone know if downloading the eu or na launcher affects the download speed?
@nimble holly Using HQ mats gives you higher chances of the next phase costing fewer materials to progress. If you're on the final phase, however, quality can be ignored.
does DNC need dexterity?
Yes they use aiming gear
ok
Same as MCH and BRD
so i got my SCH to lv80 and finally tried SMN for the first time. I've been trying to understand the job. which summon should i start with?
Garuda, Titan, or Ifrit
kinda feel like Titan is a bit useless?
Ifrit is for single target/bosses. Garuda is all about AoE, useful for big pulls. Titan is more support-y. Pretty niche but has some uses.
ohh
What should I be working towards for melding as healer? Keeping in mind I use all 3 healers same gear.
that sounds right. thanks.
currently at 2225 piety and 1236 spell speed
has anyone had any issues with their hydaelyn kick shirts off the SE store? Because I got mine off the jp store and in less than ten washes it's worn af, and SE support told me tough shit, it didn't fall under mfg warranty
Idk of AST still feel like they need piety. Its up to you. If you think its managable then meld something else instead.
idek where else to put this question it's so bizarre to me that such an expensive shirt got battered so quickly
even on SCH I feel like I need more (but this was before adding Neo-ishgard armor on)
Sch and whm have it easier still thinair and aetherflow+energy drain exists
You cast on a party member @twin kelp
what if i'm alone?
On your chocobo
like if im soloing content or something? can i just not use it?
Has to target another person
@remote lintelyes. Dancer lvl 80 artifact gear.
sad
artifact gear?
!itemglam weathered thathlum
how do you unlock scrip exchange? i have lvl 52 fisher
so like you get it from the class quest?
if i'm just trying to get the shadowbringers expansion is it $40 option? i already have all the ones before that
!itemglam weathered krishna
oooo
You get it from grenolt. You meet him as part of MSQ. Shouldn't be hard to get.
@leaden ginkgo unlock is in mor donuts. Looke for one of the ladys with name that start with Au
Its a 
I just reached level 80 and I’m not sure as to how to continue with increasing my ilvl to the max. Please help.
is it possible to refund poetics materials? Bought Taut instead of Tautest upgrade mats
Can't read
@elder merlin no RiP
is next feesh this hour or the next
Can someone buy the expansions even if they're from a country that isn't supported by SE?
@whole wasp Well, just spent my cap of 2k on useless stuff!
Yes
Since when I went to mogstation, and the price is in euros
@maiden wave you are probably in the eu storefront. Use the NA storefront?
@strange summit easiest way is to buy crafted 480. Grindy way is to grind for phantas and buy 460 gear, do copied factory/hunts to augment to 470
from mission 15 you do not get a minionm?
Thing is, I'm in Asia-
Me too
Oh
SEA
from mission 15 you do not get a minionm? @jade quartz
You should buy them for EU and Other Regions then
How do you change that?
You can't change what region your account is set to after registration
it's tied to your SE account specifically
Does anyone know why the WT journal sometimes lists 2 rewards per tier instead of 3 rewards for some people?
Oh, oof
Might need to be a higher level.
Probably cant see the phanta tome.
But then a friend who doesn't have an 80 also had 3 rewards
But 70 makes sense since he is 70
So I guess you have to make another account?
How do you pay then?
Paypal
Yup
Visa is alright as well, right?

Idk. Your bank might be paranoid of overseas transfer
True
Might have to give them a call.
You can keep busy with the trial at least
Unlimited time
Access to all ARR jobs
And crafters
Caps at level 35
Is 1.2 mil enough to buy a full 480 crafted gear?
NQ or HQ?
HQ: hell no
For NQ, maybe. For HQ absolutely not.
You'd need... 10 or 20 times that for a full set of HQ, I think?
NQ is almost never worth it unless you only want it for glam
Which is why it's so comparatively cheap
If you don't have the gil to afford HQ crafted gear, just go with tomestone gear.
Well right now my ilvl is 422. Can’t even finish my msq because of the 430 req
Oh, that's easy to fix
Run the first three level 80 dungeons (Amaurot/Twinning/Akadaemia) for i430 accessories and tomestones to spend on i460 gear
Do you have your AF
^
What?
Twinning is unlocked in the Crystarium and Akadaemia is unlocked at the bottom of Eulmore
I have gotten SO MANY people in Amaurot without their AF
Oh I don’t
If you talk to the guy in the Tempest who isn't Gerolt, he'll give you a free set of left side + weapon job gear.
At 430 ilevel
I keep forgetting his name. So he's either "not-Gerolt" or "Gerolt, but with hair"
They pretty much do.
You talk to him in the story and are required to complete a role quest series
Honestly if I hadn't tried speaking to him again after completing the quest, I wouldn't have known he was handing out free class gear.
And when you complete the quest with him he talks about making equipment for you
I forget why but I immediately knew to go to him
Maybe because of what Wynne mentioned
I think there's something in his dialogue. But I also know a lot of people don't bother reading what the NPCs say.
Can someone explain how Nascent Flash works? I seem to be confused
Wait even if I do complete my 430 set won’t I be stuck at 429? Because of the second ring?
You can spend tomestones on i460 gear
You target someone and all of your attacks will heal you and then
The target also gets some damage mitigation
What rings do you currently have @strange summit ?
I've never known anyone to use the healing component for anyone but themselves
!action Nascent Flash
Grants Nascent Flash to self and Nascent Glint to target party member.
Nascent Flash Effect: Absorbs damage dealt as HP
Nascent Glint Effect: Restores HP equaling 50% of that recovered by Nascent Flash while also reducing damage taken by 10%
Duration: 6s
Shares a recast timer with Raw Intuition.
Oh, there's a mitigation on it? I honestly had no idea. I just knew that when a WAR uses Nascent Flash, I don't have to heal them for 6s.
Nascent Flash + Inner Chaos. 😩
Glint is what the targeted person gets
Flash is basically a damage negative move. While it's active, you heal instead of taking damage.
Maybe
And your Glint target gains half that in healing.
So if the WAR gains 100000 HP in healing, their targeted ally gains 50000 in healing.
I have the amiatorine ring of fending
No, you still take damage with Nascent flash
It makes the damage you deal also heal yourself
Crafting question. I can’t accept carpenter or blacksmith quests. I’m a lvl 80 pally and I have other crafting professions up to lvl 40. When I try to equip the lvl 1 saw for carpenter it won’t let me. Says insufficient armory space. Idk what I’m doing wrong. Ty in advance
And half of that healing is copied to your Glint target
@reef quartz your armoury section for weapons is full
That’s just it. It’s not. There are plenty of spaces in the armory.
Then it must be your other slots
Because it’s trying to unequip all of your paladin gear when you swap jobs
There any way to increase the number of gathering attempts you get? I am always running out of attempts when trying to do collectables. Either that or I am left with just one attempt to collect
Ok cool. Let me check the other slots. And ty guys
!action Single Mind
And then the BTN/MIN actions Ageless Words and Solid Reason which give back an attempt
(Those don’t work if you haven’t gathered a thing from it)
Yeah but those things are pretty expensive when you only have 600gp lol. Eh, will just have to grind out some levels.
The Gathering stat doesn’t affect the number of attempts at all, does it?
Nope, unless the node wants that for bonus attempts listed at the bottom of the gathering window
Okay so... sorry to bring this back up. I get Nascent Flash and it reads "absorbs damage dealt as HP" (which is half that should be clarified imo) and whoever i pick gets glint, where i get half of their damage as hp and they get the reduction right?
sorry the wording on that skill is throwing me off
also does the additional effect on thrill of the hunt increase the healing received from nascent or no?
No you get healing from damage you deal
And the other person gets half the healing you do + 10% damage mitigation
does anyone know where to find the log files for act?
ever since i updated the game act cant seem to get my log files
!action Nascent Flash
Grants Nascent Flash to self and Nascent Glint to target party member.
Nascent Flash Effect: Absorbs damage dealt as HP
Nascent Glint Effect: Restores HP equaling 50% of that recovered by Nascent Flash while also reducing damage taken by 10%
Duration: 6s
Shares a recast timer with Raw Intuition.
So, Glint player takes 10% less damage and gets 50% of the Heal done by Flash player.
If the Flash player do nothing, then Glint player would only experience the 10% reduction
but i only get 50% dmage as healing
The tooltip is a little misleading because you only absorb 50% of damage dealt and target gets 50% of that
I can hit a 50k nascent chaos and only heal 25k~
will the lvl430 right side crafting gear be replaced any time soon?
MY guess is they'll be released alongside the tools which I wanna say is 5.25, correct me if I'm wrong
5.3 probably
ok thanks guys
When should I join my first fc
Any time
It is optional
No reason not to, no reason to do it
Ok
Just if someone tries to recruit you and they seem nice enough give it a shot, personally I've not had great experiences with fc's but they're not all the same
Can u make one ?
yeah but it requires some people before hand to sign a petition
You need 3-5 members iirc
4 plus you I think it is
My friend and I made ours by asking players if they are wiling to help then quit the FC
We ended up with a 2 player FC after all is done
@leaden ginkgo and the other Q. does the trill of the batttle healing up increase the healing from nascent
Ok might make one with a friend
No.
It's healing "actions" and nascent is a "Passive" soooorta like regen but not really
!action thrill of battle
Pretty much gcd heals/healer abilities from what I've noticed, if it does work on equilibrium I've never noticed it make a huge difference, since I usually crit it and gives me back most the hp I just lost on a Tank buster anyways
if you wanna feel tanky what I usually do before and after a Tank buster is use Raw intuition, take the hit, thrill of battle for heal/healer boost, then use Shake it Off if I know an aoe is coming
Anyone got links to what the shinryu ex glamours look like?
I don't even know what its called
are they weapons only or armor too?
Weapons
