Nvm right ping?
I mean yeah I did wonder about the release date for 5.3
You should probably make it as long as you keep a steady pace then. You definitely will if you skip extra content and unlock it later
Afaik, there’s some contents that locked behind
? Or all side contents are locked behind
?

the moogle beast tribe unlock used to be hidden behind some 
not sure if that's still the case
but that's the only big one i can think of
it might have changed
the quest to unlock qitari used to be
but they became
after 5.2
@forest laurel
June 9 2020 is 5.3 most likely.
(Feb 18 2020 + 112 days = June 9 2020.)
I see. I was afraid that some side contents are locked behind
so I did all of them as much as possible whenever I found one
that's a long while, damn
but as long as one of my friends doesn't start playing anywhere before that date, he'll be fine 
@cosmic pilot
Some emotes rewards are locked behind 
And to add to what Smug said, the chain you need for the Qitari starts with 2
quests for 2 aether currents, so you already should have started the chain. (If you want to fly in Rak'tika that is.)
Is there a list for important
?
Thanks
is there some time of unscheduled maintenance? cause i disconnected even though my connection is ok lol
Someone now how to active / desative the payment method for ff14???
@spiral pewter
You can cancel/halt your subscription on the account management page on mogstation. (Be aware you also can cancel your account as a whole there, don't do that if you still want to play later!)
Just remove the payment method and you are done.

Hello! I am disabled veteran and a returning player, but was new-ish when I did play. Because of my disabilities I am looking for suggestions for a simpler class that doesn't involve extremely convoluted skill rotations, where I can focus more on the mechanics of the dungeon instead of stressing about the keys I am pressing. Primarily interested in healer, but also DPS, might be down to try tanking.
Tanks generally have more simple combos
DPS I guess it varies but I have no DPS experience so someone else is more qualified to talk about that
ok, do you recommend a tank class above the others?
@leaden ginkgo its a bit of a pita to do early on because you dont have Suiton
later on when you get Ninja
you will get a Ninjutsu called Suiton
it lets you use Trick Attack without needing to Hide
I'm a tank main so I can only really speak for tanks
So I wouldn't take my opinion as gospel
name of this lamp? https://i.imgur.com/OM5wyNE.png
Is there a way to apply glamour plates to retainers? Right now I am quipping their gear, applying glamour to myself, then moving that equipment to the retainer
What is the other major lost from Skipping Scenario apart from Story perspective
Do you still get mounts from Quest Rewards and all that?
Dungeon unlocks?
You wouldn't get the free fantasia for completing the 2.0 main story
Also the fact that you're spending money to skip the game you bought to play but that's obvious

Hi I'm making a new character and was wondering how can I transfer my settings like HUD and Keybindings to my new character?
spending money to skip the game you bought to play but that's obvious
That's the main reason, I have gone through 2.0 to 3.0 without buying but now, in 3.0 and I am kinda getting frustrated with needing to MSQ, since my Character is way pass 60 while quest is still at 55(playing on extra xp server)
Guess I will just suck it up and continue
Thanks @wintry chasm
@leaden ginkgo If you go to documents -> my games -> XIV
You will come across these CHR folders
Those are where all those things are kept
@wintry chasm Thank you!
And all you have to do is find the right folder and copy and pasting the contents
If you open one, the Common.dat file modified date helps you determine which is which since the date updates when you log in as the character
Transferring everything should be fine or should I figure out which ones are HUD and so on ?
Transferring everything is fine
Since you'd have things like gearset number restrictions when you first start and stuff it might look a bit weird but as you go about doing things it'll all fit back into place
Also is XIVCensus heavily updated? or is it an old estimate?
Well it's certainly not official
so it's not incredibly reliable in the first place
but for that question I'm not sure
can wanderers do maps?
yes (party has to be in same server, in same zone)
great
if can't use dig make sure it's not a cross world party
so once i reach lv 80 can i do some nice dungeons bc the MSQ's are taking forever xD
Where should be I be acquiring better gear following Hall of the Novice and my job being last lvl 20?
Honestly don't worry to hard about it Void
Hall of the Novice gear is good
and you don't have to keep getting better gear after 2 levels in A Realm Reborn
@fallen chasm I'm not entirely sure I get the question but when you do 5.0 and hit 80 you can do the current raids yes
Ah alright, thank you :)
Where is the NPC for lvl 30-50 battlecraft accessories?
None
F
where do you turn in the early antiquity, i was running around eulmore and can't find it? maybe im blind
can ninja jump over aoe's
No not at all
dandy: at the counter for tome equipment, right most npc
this is definitely a big stretch, but if I wanted to use auto-translate to communicate basically "do a big pull", does anyone have suggestions? This is in the context of 'I've got AoE limit, so pull big' but it would also be useful in the context of being a healer
The only thing I can really see is Please draw enmity., but 100% of the time I see that it's used to mean 'turn on tank stance'. The best I have so far is Recommended: gather 4+ enemy simultaneously, but something that pieced-together is probably not going to syntactically work in the other languages
If people use your recruitment code, will they know who you are?

If I’m doing tanking for the first time, should I try and learn some mechanics of leveling roulette (I’m level 23 MRD) before I head in?
Honestly all of the dungeon boss mechanics are really straightforward and really don't need you to look up guides beforehand
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by mechanics of the levelling roulette--- it just gives you one of any of the dungeons you can qualify for randomly. If you mean the mechanics in those dungeons... this is terrible advice to give, but up to that point, no, you don't really have to look into anything in particular
I played through Paladin entirely on one of my old characters and did fine going in blind to every dungeon
Yeah, I’m meaning the dungeons within the roulette - such as Sastasha, Tam-Tara, Copperbell, Halatali
Some mechanics are weird though...
I had no idea that Gaze was a thing until the end of HW
Most people generally don't blame you if there's somehow a wipe anyway
Hello! Faced a problem. My friends have voice acting in some scenes, for some reason I don’t have it! Although I hear in battle how bosses or someone else makes sounds. Checked the settings with friends, it seems everything is the same. Can anyone help?
hey folks recently came back after 2 yrs gone and im seeing this red bars what does that mean
so safe to take them out of my bars then
I suggest emptying your hotbar yes
cool, thanks
Then put the skills one by one while reading/tying them
is there a way to augment allied seals gear? to make it dyeable?
from the hunt billmaster i mean
if i recall they require items that drop in coil and syrcus tower
then you take em north shroud
easiest would be to spam run syrcus tower
as no1 really rolls on em
oil and sands of time if i recall
nope, pretty sure i can buy those for unstained logs or allied seals, thanks though, and btw did you mean the drake npc?
In the legacy mouse control mode, is there a way to disable left click camera movement? Ideally only disable it in battle
@kind burrow ye north shrouds where you upgrade
but im pretty sure to upgrade the hunt seal gear you need oil or sands
check the vendor tho they might have added it not sure
i just cant remember which upgrades gear sorry
i just finished 5.2 storyline, how do i unlock the new eden raids?

are you talking about the class resource meter ?
well that's sad
ah. I haven't played machinist yet.
Nope, not like sam sheathes
i see people go to dhoro iloh all the time but there's nothing there for me
is there someting im supposed to unlock?
Beast tribe. It requires some quests to get it started
ohh
Leveling from 28 to 35 without duty roulette, should I focus Fates, Leves and Hunting Log?
how can i switch between the skill bars ?
1 and 2
what to buy with grand company seals? i have 25k

where can i go to learn my PLD tank rotation? im 62 and lost lol
try the balance discord, they have guides for every jobs, gatherers/crafters and even BLU
!faq balance
when is weekly reset?
Hello, hopefully I can explain this properly. I mainly play as a Ninja but would also like to level up my fishing class, how on earth do I make a separate HUD for the fishing class? Whenever I try and change the HUD all my Ninja abilities are there still. I have been messing around with the HUD for hours and can not figure it out.
You can register up to four different HUD setups. If you're talking about just the abilities, you'll need to switch jobs for that job's abilities to appear.
NIN abilities shouldn't be visible when you're equipped as FSH and vice versa.
The armoury bonus only works for monsters?
I'm not getting double or half exp with quests
is this 8,200,000 or 5,500,00?
5.5M, the +modifier is added before calculation.
how can i swap between the skill bars 1 and 2 ?
Thank you
@leaden ginkgo not sure what you are trying to do, you can display both skill bars at the same time. clicking the arrow above or below the number next to the skillbar should switch it too
Alternatively, if you're on PS4/using a controller, use R1 to cycle through your skill bars (or hold R1 and press the corresponding dpad or shape button).
ahh perfect ty
Is their a youtube channel that presents moves.
You mean like a channel that shows all the moves every job has?

is the Road to 70 buff gonna affect my other jobs too, even if I get to 70+ on WHM?
just wondering since Twintania's no longer a preferred world
so long as you're still within your 90 day window, you'll have the road to 70 when you swap to a class/job that's below 70
so if u want to lvl your gatherer or crafter do it while it lasts xD
If i hide my headgear, it will be invisible to everyone or just me?
to everyone
is Dark Knight the only class that can wield huge longswords?
Hi, I just bought the game and i'm trying to install it but its not working and I don't know why or how to fix it... I looked it up but didnt find any solution, can anyone help? Whenever I try to install this happen: https://gyazo.com/65718aae84cbca8bd4a5038becffb294
@sturdy mason Yes, every class has their own unique weapon, since its the weapon that determines what class you play as
is dark knight DPS or tank?
Tank
damn I was hoping for a DPS class that can wield giant weapons
Some bows for Bard eventually get quite massive
do you have a screenshot of such a ninja?
No :/
I've seen a few after trying out their gear while picking quest rewards
Warrior weapons can be giant as well. This one I can show you... After my cutscene ends
A few of the ninja relic weapons are sizeable
About the same size as a Paladin's sword I'd say
Some of the dragoon spears also have large spearheads
great suggestions ty
Do enemy dots snapshot? If I use reprisal on a boss after he applies a DoT to someone does it do anything?
so if I use reprisal before the cast goes off the entire duration of dot is reduced then. Ty
Yes
what does 'snapshot' mean?
so im on excalibur server or primal idk, any way to know what is the best server for my timezone or level of gameplay?
snapshot means they DoT uses all the buffs/debuffs present at time of application and doesnt change its values if the buffs/debuffs change during its duration
primal is your data center excalibur is your server
it takes a "snapshot" of the values when its applied
this is an NA data center
you're best playing on na time like sometime between 4pm pst to like 9pst? something like that
oh gotcha thanks @leaden ginkgo
level of gameplay is unimportant just have fun
gotcha, was wondering so i can look for a home. ty
ideally though you pick a server with a ⭐ next to it if you don't have other friends on certain servers
those are preferred servers and give you double exp from all sources until lvl 70 for all jobs and classes
speaking of which then youhave 3 options for data centers since they're all located in the same place geographically
you'd be able to choose from aether, primal, or crystal @rose oak
u think i should move?
nono if you're already started then it depends on how far your are and how invested
The double exp sure is really nice...
Really worth it unless you're already too far into the game
if you're under level 30 its probably okay to restart if you don't mind
i think you should do what you think you'd want though
i am on my old main and he is 62 pld
Might not be worth it then 🤣
do we keep marrying if both of us move world?
now i have the MSQ and some side quest should i do everything or just focus on MSQ
this is what i have
any i can drop
Side quests for the currents!
What does mean when a world have Standard but a red icon on character creation, i was thinking "Standard" means i can create a new character
because we have Congested too
Just means there's a lot of people online at the moment
Wait a bit for it to calm down a bit and you'll be able to make a character
definitely do the
becasue they usually unlock something, like new dungeons or aether currents for flying. but focus mainly on 
I've had some
only unlock accessories -_-
Might be you either didn't notice what was unlocked or haven't finished the questline
There are questlines like the Hildibrand quests though that don't unlock something specific other than like emotes and outfits over the whole series
@leaden ginkgo if its standard and with a red mark, it means its temporarily closed for new characters. Try again in the morning/during nights when the population is low and you can typically make one
quick question, what does the gear on the retainer influence? example scavean gear vs lvl 80 gear
What ventures they can run and the chance to bring back rare items

What levels should my retainers be if I want the rare dyes?
usually as high as you can but its mostly going to be RNG on quick ventures anyways
I should probably hire more retainers...
2 free is usually okay
unless you need the bag space or really want to give Square more money every month
How do I set up kupo bot so that it posts any new loadstone news automaticlly
atm you need to manually ask ours every day
Is there a setting to disable targeting party members via clicking on their model?
I didnt play for a while, how can i use my mount? Dont see it but remember i had it
How do I make my char spin around on pc?
By default it's A and D
If using standard movement it's A and D
(highly recommend legacy though, I hate standard
)
yeah i used legacy but e7s port mech is fucking me up
Can't rotate with legacy afaik... Unless you go into first person mode (Home button)
Just hold down the right mouse button
That only locks the camera, the character still moves sideways
can someone link me a scholar guide for 5.2 pls
Holding down the right mouse button makes you face in the direction of the camera
Not in legacy... Works if you click both mouse buttons, but that makes the character walk
(but I assume you're talking standard, so my bad :D)
That daily levelling quest thing does it give increased XP more than once a day?
like is it worth doing again in a single day on the same class
roulettes give bonus one per day
if you want to grind up levels your options past roulettes are Palace of the Dead (floors 51-60 spam) or spam the highest available levelling dungeon you can do until you reach the next one
levelling dungeon does not include 50/60/70 dungeons

Hey so whats a fast way of getting gil in under a minute 30k to be exact
Borrow it
is there always a 10% tax from buying on the markeboard?
Yes
then what does selling in a specific town do?
Nothing
Borrow it?
The tax is based on where you're selling it
If you got far enough in MSQ and ||Doman reconstruction|| that's an easy 40k per week @coarse tapir
ohhh
Isnt it all equally tax-y now?
But yeah otherwise borrow it Dededee
Not always
Oh christ i see
It changes over time
You're thinking of the buyers tax
Didnt know that rip
Wait so how do i get into the ||doman reconstruction ||
Easiest way to get 30k quickly atm would be to sell your shards and such
you likely have a bunch of random ones, so if you have no interst in crafting
||When you finish...4.0 or 4.3 or something you can start the questline that unlocks reconstruction from the doman enclave. follow that and you'll unlock it quick|| @coarse tapir
(I'm not sure why I spoiler tagged that tbh)
Hello, I have a big problem that I don't understand. I play on the free version and therefore I would like to transfer my character to the regular version. I purchased the game and received my activation key.
Where can we activate it please?
I go to Mog Station and I am told that the site is under maintenance.
Hey btw where do i sell my shards
It's been going on since yesterday.
@coarse tapir which shards?
Ones used in crafting
marketboard
Ah i see
Hey btw whats a good price for shards
Depends
varies on the server, when listing an item there's a button on the UI to see current prices
Bottom on the top right should tell you sell history @coarse tapir
Is it bottom of UI?
Somewhere there anyway
Wait what shards?
Crystal shards used for crafting
elemental shards for crafting
I thought they couldn't be sold?
No
They can be
Says unsellable here...
Are you looking at the right kind of shard?
!item Fire Shard

Can someone answer Himedollz above?
unsellable =/= you can't put it on the marketboard
Damn thats a lot of gil
Market Prohibited does
unsellable means you can't sell to a vendor
she's been trying to access mogstation to put in her licence code but it shows that it's in maintenance???
OH
So I can buy and sell shards on the MB right...
yes
Yea
Are they even cheap?
per yes, but they're usually sold in bulk
Usually a 100 gil a pop
anyone who knows if i must do something to get this NPC to show up in Tamamizu?https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Sanana
She is part of the Kurenai custom delivery stuff
Which is crafting/gathering

I now pray for someone lazy to buy my wares
beating titan means u leave ARR?
No, that's like halfway-ish
Minako
Maximum
Maximum what?
it doesn't mean maximum
Every mob you fight with are given a letter that way you can easily tell people which mob to focus, if need be
I don't recall it ever appearing so far
It helps distinguish between enemies with the same name when fighting a group
Maybe I'm blind
i can understand bosses having it, why on trash
Blind @leaden ginkgo
!faq
someone on my datacenter help me with this treasure map :^)
I can play with other people in other world, but same datacenter? if yes, why i should bother to create in the same world
To join fc?
!faq newplayertips
yes fc
I mean, the only thing you cant do if ur from another world, is be in the same fc.... that and retainer isnt working when ur visiting
@little walrus Where at? You just need help killing something?
@rare sable The only thing that matters anyway
Party map? You need more than 2 for that, at least 4
Sorry, if you already have full party, why ask for more help
?
i dont... its just me and my partner
but apparantly FC member is saying we can 2man it at 70 so we just gonna try that i guess
i can get to 70 by just doing MSQ corect
Oh, then 8 is "recommended", but if ur good with it, you can go with 4 (T H 2dps)
2 is technically doable, but would be painful
As long as you're a tank and healer, youre good to go
Or pld and dps but thats somewhat iffy
@rose oak yesn't. You would if you do daily sometimes
so i should be doing all quest i come across then too
Not all quests, just do your daily roulette everyday/most days and you'll have plenty of xp just doing the msq
If you are on a preferred server then MSQ will literally give you all the xp you need though
but you should totally still do the 
They are very helpful
about that ^ should I be doing the
same time as the MSQ? or is it okay to come back later for them / find which ones i 'need' (as in unlock dungeons or watever) to do?
You should at the very least do most of them
a lot are needed for flying or just unlock some helpful stuff
Some of them unlock optional dungeons which some are nice but not necessary
If you unlock these dungeons/trials don't abandon the quests
Or else you'll have to do them again for completion
and some unlock the raids which are really nice stories and also cross into other content a number of times and you should absolutely do them
Yeah I'm not in a preferred server. I'm 63 atm
okay yea that makes sense. I will go back do some lol. I should clarify though, im a new player, just got 35 on my dragoon (trial account). I am now trying to decide if im gonna buy the game now or level up more classes / play some more first. What do you suggest?
basically, is it worth it leveling up more classes now or max my first class first?
Well with the free trial you have infinite time
Normally the answer would be level one up and do the main story then come back if you want
but...
If you really want to use up the free trial for all it's worth or if you aren't happy with dragoon you can try/level up the other classes
Not being able to use the MB sure is annoying though...
There are several free trial restrictions that are annoying
I'd say go for it. In my 30 free days I almost got to ShB 
That's not the free trial
whats MB? ^^
the player marketboard
I said free days, not free trial 
Where players can sell and buy from each other

okay well i get what you are saying .
I guess i have to decide.. Thing is i really wanna try the machinist, but i cant unless i buy the game
which brings me to my next question lol, does the machinist start at level 50?
30
not quite
while machnist starts at lvl 30, you have to get to lvl 50 and have access to Ishgard (heavensward expansion)
yea yea i know that. ^ was asking about the actual level of the job 🙂
I did say it requires HW as well 😅
plenty of people don't realize that requiring HW means they have to -get- to hw content
^
You need SB to play Red Mage and Samurai but you don't have to get there in story
Thought "needs to unlock HW" was clear enough 
i did understand what u meant ^ but keal is right aswell, as people might not get it ^ so thank you both 😛
hey guys, I am trying to join the Adamantoise Discord server, but it tells me that the link is invalid
is it just me?
How does leve quest work for fishing?
It's just turn ins
I neversee anything for fishing or anything
Are you checking the levequests in your level bracket
you can't take on levequests outside your current level bracket and ARR leves are all over the place
yeah I figured that, it's so weird. Alright thank you
I can't figure out what leve is my level in ARR anymore
also for the first 1-20 levels or so,t hey're only in the "appropriate" place
so fisher's 1-20 leves are all in la noscea, with 20+ being in various other locations
generally, the level range of the mobs around the town/location of the levemete is the level range of the leves
do you guys tend to do true north for ramuh 14 sticks, or just mirror?
is there any reason to do the DoH beasttribe if you have all DoH 80?
Getting all the beast tribes to rank 8 unlocks an allied quest as wellonce all the tribes are unlocked
And the mounts, minons and other stuff it brings
right
What can i do to boost my GP further? have the better lv 70 fisher gear that you get buy using yellow scrips and a HQ white ash ring. But i really feel the need to reach closer to 800GP (current GP us 760).
is there food that boosts GP?
Ofc there is
never seen it
There's food that boost every stat
what are tomes of allegory and phant used for?
You can buy GP food at tge Crystarium
And some crafting mats used for making the crafted battle gear
ohh okay thanks
is there anywhere in tamamizu i can buy the materials for Kurenai's custom deliveries?
There is a merchant across from her

This is really the only place I can find for help since my FF14 friends are having dinner with family. I just bought the game on Steam, registered my keys to the MogStation, etc. Says I have game/expansions and 30 days of game time. Go to log in and it says my account can't access services. Just trying to reach out for any help :/
Are you launching from steam?
It won't even install from Steam. Should I nuke my FF14 files and try launching from there?
If you Brought from steam you MUST launch from steam
Well my Steam just sticks on Preparing to Install so gotta figure that out then
So for some reason The Cinder Drift Extreme didn’t unlock for me
Did you talk to the warmachina guy and checked the high end duty tab
Yes, he’s just talking about not having inspiration for something, and it’s just not there in the duty tab
Some days ago he showed me a totem of the thing, but I wasn’t high enough item level to enter at first
Ah fixed it. If anyone in the future has that issue. You have to clear download cache in Steam and it will auto detect the install if you went from Trial to Full version
Has anyone else had this happen, that a trial just doesn’t show up on the duty finder?
Its under the High End duty section
Nevermind, just found it
@umbral fjord can also move the trial folder, uninstall the trial, install the full version, then replace the one Steam just installed 😄
Better than reinstalling and redownloading the entire game
I had installed and patched and Steam basically wasn't recognizing the install folder. I guess clearing cache works and gets it to find it. Did that and it booted up straight away
Weird. Steam only installs a tiny installer, I think it's like 15MB or so...
Ya no idea. Steam doing Steam things
Are emote books tradable?
Some are
thats my problem uh
im near starving people in thanalan(?) i think but
i have to speak to baderon in limsa lominsa but
i have no clue where that is, or how to get there
Is their a way to figure out what bait to use where?
if you have attuned to all the aethernet shards in uldah you can teleport to it
google and that fishing website https://en.ff14angler.com/
those are the ones i use
no idea accuracy
Alternatively, garland tools is also very helpful
Versatile lure works for almost everything now it seems. I haven't had to change to another bait while doing beast tribe quests
Versatile lure works for basically everything below 70 but it's a very large pool of items
If you're going for something specific, you should still buy bait
uh okay im no longer lost cuz i got to ride a random high level players bird to a ferry
but thanks for the advice tho
What exactly counts as Ceruleum field. It seems to be way out nowhere
make sure you attune to the aetheryte at limsa lominsa @open wolf
or teleporting will suck
I did now xD
What exactly counts as Ceruleum field. It seems to be way out nowhere
basically: north thanalan
Should be cliffs near the plant, but it's bugged currently
oh great, love that.
From the 5.2 patch notes, known issues:
An issue wherein the action "Cast" cannot be used at the following fishing spots:
"Central Thanalan: The ClutchNorthern Thanalan: Ceruleum FieldSouthern Thanalan: Burnt Lizard Creek"
- This is a high priority issue that we plan to address in Patch 5.21.
god this game is so shit so much shit wrong with it.
This is what happens when you develop the groundwork and basegame in about 1 and a half years
Still far superior to what 1.0 was though
So how many "minor bugs" do I have to run into for me to be annoyed with the game?
let's see
games have bugs now n then especially with patches
no mmo is exclusive
infact mmos especially due to how theyre built
not many, actually
Probably less than 10-15
The game is pretty stable all things considered
and yeah tbf for no PTR this game does I'd say internal testing is done quite well
Just these issues pop up every now and then because
and any quick critical bugs get fixed
any major ones get fixed by the first minor patch
If they put it in Known issues, it means they actually found it in QA, and a fix is planned for it

Very rarely players found an issue before the QA team did
Usually it's very small exceptions such as timing your idle perfectly so you leave the instance with a buff that's not supposed to available outside a certain instance
I am just gonna be blunt here, if a small issue already found by the team with a fix planned for it can annoy you to this degree. Then you are not gonna be able handle doing standard difficulty endgame, let alone savage/ex.
Ughh my free time when I purchased ran out I did not get real far
This is #questions-and-help
what's the time limit for joining up with ocean fishing, 15 minutes?
Until it fills up at this point still I'd assume
15mins
good, because i'm about to start dipping out after the first location if a spectral tide never gets started
How do I start the FFXV colab event thingy
Hey guys, I wanna change server to play with friends and i wanna buy the story skip to Heavensward, will it also complete the side quests that unlock the dungeons and small ones like the glamour, hairdresser ones, chocobo and all please?
@scarlet fable you cant it ended ages ago
it may be reran in the future but we dont know
@rich flume no it wont complete side story stuff
Ofmg ok I see
only msq flagged stuff
and arr only has 2 dungeons that are msq post 50 the other 15 are sidequests
How many achievement points do you need to get a certificate? is it every 100 or something?
so i'll need to do all the side quests to unlock the dungeons
yes
ok thanks
What is sHC mean?
Do you mean ShB?
Also, as I'll start again from zero for the classes except for MSQ unlocked, can I start by leveling a healing class or would it be too hard to advance on the story later please ?
sHC static
semi hardcore
you can level with w/e you want
the story instances are designed to be doable by all 3 specs
Healers probably have the easiest time for Story unless there’s an actual DPS check
And even then they’re barely strict assuming you aren’t undergeared
so i'll need to do all the side quests to unlock the dungeons
@rich flume Google the list, don't do all theunless you want to explore lores and side stories
yeah, i'll just do the blue quests for the dungeons and all
also, as I already unlocked glamour system for example on my current char, will it be unlocked on the new one or will I have to do it again please ?
Yeah
Characters are different save file
I just want to insert a reminder that you can play all jobs with 1 character
yeah, it's just that my friends are on another server, so instead of buying a server transfer, I'll just buy a story skip to heavensward and levle up again
@rich flume Do you have a specific healer in mind?
I think i'll try leveling up a White Mage as I've wanted to try healing these days
If you level a Scholar you get Summoner for free and vice versa
Scholar seemed interesting too but some videos said that it was a bit weird to play in shadowbringers ?
But Ive been doing Scholar through my expansions with no problem
DPS is a little slow but not so much that its frustrating
Things are just a little dull as you cannot die
You can AFK check every story fight
Scholar deploys shield on top of their healing
You need to be a bit more aware with how much mitigation you are handling
Basically a good Scholar knows how to preempt damage and shield up everything
I think i'll try scholar then, summoner seemed interesting to me too
As its vastly more effective, but that is something you wont need to worry about to end game and every healer has to learn something
If youre not overly sold on White Mage, SCH does give you SMN so you can always switch to a RDPS (one of the top RDPS might I add)
SMN has more "pet" control, SCH pet is kinda auto
Not selling the gameplay
You mostly use your pet to activate buffs and abilities
Just selling pet ownership
But you do get that pet fantasy and the pet is a vital part of your healing
You don't get a "big" fairy summon until 80 though
Whereas on SMN you get Demi-Bahamut a lot earlier
I'll try scholar then
A lot earlier being 70
the fact that you can go summoner too is a plus
Getting giant fat shields on your tank and spreading it to your party and watching an aoe do literally nothing is very satisfying
You also get some really nice group buffs as a SCH aswell
Imo, all jobs are fun to play
^
You can pick based on what looks cool to you
White Mage for instance has one of the best stories in the game
Yar
I heard it was the opposite
Its personal preference
i thought scholar was p cute story
I just finished my level 50 white mage quest and so far I really liked the story
Scholar story is also pretty great
shit i dont remember white mage story
But imo WHM's one of the worst
I cannot find this fish! I've tried three different spots now ><
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Loyal_Pleco+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
i made too many 'im a hippy purifying some evil taints and i smoke weed' jokes
I was a big fan of the WHM story, but you're right it is personal preference
'i drink with moogles and we gamble'
o congrats
Is there any Level 80 Omni-Crafter that can help me with some crafts? I have Level 80 Weaver but can't make these other crafts cause the other classes are too low. Yes I have all the mats, just need someone to craft the stuff :)
DM me if interested, will pay 50k Gil for whoever helps, Brynhildr only.
try your datacenter recruitment @modest hearth
Is there any specific reason why you want it to be server only?
Posted in there too
Is there a best time to queue for the original ARR alliance raids?
to get a reasonable queue time
probably your data center primetime, but they're in alliance roulette so you'll likely be quick regardless
so for NA it would be like now
dps get quicker queues as well usually
yeah dont get scared of the estimated time thing since quite often your queue pops after a couple of minutes of waiting
@regal heath you convinced me, i'm going scholar, created an arcanist
This yellow icon is new. What does it mean?
Collectible only
its a collectable turn in
That's what the white box means though
How do I stop releasing a fish, didn't mean to press this button
Put away your rod
why the fuck does my fishing skill suck?
ty
im level 65... fishing a fish that says its level 65... im using level 65 fish. i just bought a FULL set of lvl 65 equipment
but im "fish got away" 9 out of 10 times
correction, its a level 63 levequest fish

What bait are you using for them? Tail mountains seem to prefer Midge Larva, Stonefly Larva, and mooched from Zagas Khaal
Spoonworm
oh not talking to me
637 gathering 515 percep
i literally got the damn ocean fishing mount my second try so like i know how to use patience and shit
guys got an ocean fishing question
@thick bolt its just bad rng, the weather and time also affects how easily you can catch it
anyone know where i can find a site which has best bait for each sea?
just so i can memorize it
not for spectrals or anything just the sea in general
The only conditions I see for full moon sardine is to catch between 6pm-6am eorzean time
@little swift Yep, switched out a bunch of bait.
nvm found the fishing guide that i wanted
Thank you for the answer
is there anything after the copied factory alliance raid wise?
ok awesome! so question is, did 5.2 just drop? and if you have better gear then the alliance raid is there a reason to run the raid?
Yes, dropped last week
It still gives cracked steelacrystals for t8 weekly
what is deepshadow? and upgrade how haha, sorry really new to this
And coin is needed + new coin from the next 24man to upgrade allegory gear to 500 without savage
Deepshadow is Phantasmagora gear
Take the coin to eulmore
460 upgraded to 470
so you use these raid coins to upgrade from 460 to 470
and you can also use the coins to upgrade allegory 490 to 500?
Nope
When the new coin hits
Those coins come from the next alliance raid
You'll need copied factory coim + the new one
oh ok so it's good to stockpile the coins now, so is 490 the highest gear right now from allegory?
500 from savage clears
Could anyone help me find this item?
Savage gives 500 with 505 wep
You cant get that anymore
Oh ok, sad
probably
thx anyway 🙂
and by savage you mean the eden's gates correct? you need to clear those to get stuff to get 500 and 505 weapon?
Eden verse savage
oh ok eden verse fulmination
Eden gate savage gives 470 with 475 wep
Not just culmination clear all the floors in order every week to get gear
And you can roll for a coffer
but
also i still have a 415 weapon lol, can you not get one using allegory or the other tome i couldnt find it listed
you can get one from your final role quest
you go see grenoldt in the tempest after doing so
and you get a 430 wep
and set of job armor
Allegory cant be obtained yet anyways
you can buy better weapons with phantasmagoria
and this
1k allegory and 7 blades of golden antiquity
but might as well get the free 430 to tide you over
speaking of ive got a question
and you get golden antiquity from where?
leggo nodes cant be respawned like ephermals can they?
edens verse
but its weekly locked
ok
No
Eden 8
nope, legendary nodes are one time spawns during their time
Best way to lvl up to 70? I did all my duty roulettes
thought so meara cheers
You get 1 node per time slot
just spam level 70 dungeons
oki thx
also i just went to tempest and dont see a quest for role
or the ones closest to your level
Talk to grendolnt
im a tank
Inside the workshop
dandy what server you on on Light? Want me to come show you
He gives you full i430 gear
Level 80 Tank quest is in Il Mheg iirc
That's right
yeah you need to have done the final tank role quest then you go visit him
im level 80 i cleared the final tank quest
then go to tempest
i had to clear it to continue in main sotry
Then talk to Grenoldt for the gear
go south till you see a blue building that looks like a small workshop
from the ondo cups
you go in there and you can claim your 430 set
The game told you about this btw when you turned that msq in
yeah im so glad i returned to this game
Wb
i was doing bahamut in heavensward
super into the game was way up there and stopped 😦
wrong disc
So I just got back after a long time not playing. I forgot how to change my controls from my ps4 controller to my keyboard and mouse
Character config and then the top left thing where it shows the controller and mouse
Also disable direct chat
So your keyboard doesn't keep going into chat (assuming you had it on)
What’s the perdurable tombstone for?
Tomestone weapon
one of the items you need to exchange for the allegory tomestone weapon
^
takes 7 weeks to get if you dont raid savage but you pretty much get it super early from raiding savage
Thank you! Much better now! @wintry chasm
what channel would i post in if I'm looking for some help with a FATE in-game
Savage doesn’t have a cap?
the tomestone is a direct drop in a coffer from E6S
instead of having to trade in 7 weeks of tokens from E8N for it
in a spot where I can't progress the hilibrand quests because of a FATE in umbra isles
Bring your chocobro
what the heck is this? i dont have this quest
its a fate that moves on the map
Can i save a character look before I fantasia in case I wanna go back to my original look? I didnt save it the first time I make it
Yes
right click on your character at the login screen
and select "save character data" iirc
Ahhhh okayy thanks
@little walrus Yeah what Zelos was saying that's a fate that moves. That grey thing is where the fate is going to end at.
The actual fate is elsewhere making it's way there
Is it normal to feel overwhelmed transtioning to keyboard and mouse from controller? I've been stumped trying to find what's comfortable.

Naturally
yeah moving from one control setup to another can be a bit daunting at first and take some time to get used to, whichever direction you move in (kb/m -> controller or the other way)
They do play very differently Big
So for movement do I just hold down left click or is there a way to change it so my camera just moves with my mouse unless I have a menu pulled up?
is there a way I can set an ingame clock for PST?
not unless you change your computer's clock to pst, which is what local time is based off of
The NA servers are in cali which is PST right? Wouldn't server time be PST?
true
Server time is always GMT
wait no, server time is yeah
Weird server time should be DC time
should be, but unfortunately it's not
But ohh well squeenix
Is their a website likeff14angler.com but for mining? It seems fishing isn't the way to go for money
teamcraft
ty
where do i get gear at lvl 50+ to get into dungeons that need ilvl?
You can spend poetics in Mor Dhona to get i120 gear
in mor dhona their is a seller that takes allagan tomes
where my cursor is the one in the middle or left forgot which one
anyone know why im level 70 on ALL my classes except fisher (lvl 69) and i cant access level 61 gather yellow scripts
like she only has lv 50
You need to complete the quest “Reach Long and Prosper” in Rhalgr’s Reach
Though first you need to do the quest “Go West, Craftsman” in Mor Dhona
Hey I'm one the quest lord of the inferno and i need people for the dungeon, and duty finder is taking forever may i get some help? I'm on Primal
Try the recruitment channel
I'll help.
hi i need help ast-ing
haven't played ast since 4.3 i think
don't know how to yugioh anymore
Cards now all provide a damage buff. Balance/Arrow/Spear/Lord are bigger boost to melee and tanks, while Ewer/Spire/Bole/Lady are bigger boost to Ranged/casters/healers
ok but what's the 3 empty things above my job bar
Each card besides Lord/Lady have a seal to them that is used for Divination, which is stronger if you have more unique seals
how do i even add to those
You use cards in combat
do script lures last longer than 1 cast or something?
Um I’m trying to accept this leves of camp tranquil quest but it wont let me accept
ive done like 20+ casts on 6 lures
Nevermind
This quest requires me to mine 50 bone chip, but I'm missing something that would make it easier to do that right?
You can just buy them if you want
@slate arrow ive failed plenty, weird
buy them HQ too
I mean I don't mind doing it I just think it's weird for a level 5 quest
so I thought their was some skill that let me mine more that I may have missed
Can you get crystarium weapons yet?
yes if you raid savage
if not itll take 7 weeks tops
no wait this week savage raiders can
since 1k allegory my bad
on march 3rd+ if you raid savage, you'll be able to get the weapon, assuming you capped both this week and last
I can wait honestly

does using texture hacks violate terms of service and if so is it actually enforced?
yes, no
cool
oh shit I'm sorry
Hey, is anyone able to help me diagnose why the hell the launcher is so slow/buggy/laggy?
New player as of yesterday
Huh, I used to think two exclamation points above your head while fishing means you snagged a higher level fish, but just now I caught a level 44 fish at a level 20 hole and only had one exclamation mark appear.
And it was HQ!
The exclamation point is for tug strength iirc
no, the animation is a visual representation of the tug type
! is small tug, !! is medium tug and !!! is large tug
Which determines the pool of fishes you will RNG from
So I just found out... I just got my first three exclamation part thing and had my first lost.
so its easier at a glance what kind of fish you're going to get, if you know their tugs/knowing with hook type to use
Because I mooched the last fish I caught.
Wonder what it was? I'm at the Oakwood spot.
Ah, was probably this guy:
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Toramafish
i just started back up from a break and the next main scenario quest is level 60 with ???. does anyone know what that means?
@odd bobcat the gold saucer is like a mini amusement park where you can earn MGP, which can be spent on glamour, minions, and mounts
apparently i'm suppose to be on "Heavensward" but the quest marker leads me to empty space
@odd bobcat Must be new to the final fantasy series!
i shows the aetherchemechmical research facitility but theres no way for me to start the quest or enter it
whats the quest name?
I'm just now realizing... Shouldn't the Gold Saucer be visible from some part of Thanalan?
you can see it in southern thanalan, yeah
Hey, is anyone able to help me diagnose why the hell the launcher is so slow/buggy/laggy?
@wise estuary take a screen shot
My launcher is a bit slow too
@wise estuary Try the airship landing at the Pillars. There should be an NPC there that will take you to the zone
It's nigh time so I should be able to see the lights.
@obsidian patio gpm is gill?
Can you still earn wonderous tail second chances after turning in your book for the week?
yes @wintry dragon
Aight ty
Should i only focus on main quest and job quest for now?
there is ton of side quest with the blue color to do
There’s a few good blue ones to get, like the ones that unlock glamour and dyes
!faq contentunlock
i'm seeing this right now
Hi i cant buy rowena's token using yellow scrips anymore?
Yeah there's a big ship above you
I cant find it anymore
So you can onliy really see the lights of the Gold Saucer.
Which tokens exactly, adamantia?
ah shit i thought i had, was bumping into the bottom of it
i'm an idiot, thanks guys
Wonder if I was able to view the whole zone if there would actually be a Gold Saucer behind that rock or if it would just be some light effects... Guess it's possible that place is where you go to in that one cutscene.
Token that i can use to be exchanged for crystal sands
For that anima weapon quests
Should be in both the level 50 and 58 vendor options
In the scrip exchanger right?
glamour and dyes?
Ah i see it thanks @obsidian patio
@obsidian patio glamour and dyes?
Also the link you posted only show all the quest
I don't know which one is good
Glamour is the transmog system of the game.
and which one is passable
The challenge log, for example, is a set of weekly challenges that awards experience and Gil

I only have two guildhests available and they're both level ten. I've done them both. How do I unlock more?
Complete them
Is the Mandragora FATE for Seeds of Rebllion a special thing compared to other FATEs?
Tried to get a friend to help me with it but a FATE wouldn't show up for them to level sync to
Didn't work while in a party either
Yeah it’s kinda special since it’s tied to a quest
I know that but is it special in the sense that you can't get help from any other players?
I can’t say for sure, only did it alone in the first place
I've been having some trouble trying to solo it as DRG
They probably need to be on the quest too in order to help
how long does it take for a character to show up in the item code redemption screen?
In other words, I just made a new character but it ins't showing up yet
I’m not sure for the mogstation exactly, but if it’s like the lodestone then maybe an hour or two at most.
So I'm a bit confused about eternal bonding. The terms are this: * In the event both you and your partner have different promise wristlets equipped, the wristlet of lesser value (standard < gold < platinum) will determine the service plan for both players when undertaking the quest "The Ties that Bind." but I was wondering, assuming one person went with free and the other went for platinum, does that mean the person paying platinum would still get free plan reward?
It means both players only get the free reward
The platinum is essentially wasted
Damn okay. Thanks for answering wynne

If I redeem a story skip on one character can I send it to another? or once it's on that character it's stuck?
It's non-transferable
ok thanks
