alright !
Everything starts from 1, but it's significantly faster to level each profession than it is in WoW
right, i just tend to forget these things between each expansion
do you play with legacy movement?
anyone know how to fix this
keep trying, launch as admin, walk away from your pc. rest router, scream, try again.
one might work :x
lmao
its how i solved my troubles last week
is that really all? just hope that it works lol
@stoic leaf easiest things you can check, disable firewall and anti virus (windows defender if you dont have anything else installed) and reset your router/modem
where ca n i buy lvl 5 gear? i have a mission to equip a full set of lvl 5 gear but i only got a bow and chest
if that doesnt work usually a VPN does the trick
Is there a way to get orchestrion music to play in the workshop
@analog elk vendors in any of the three cities will sell it
yeah found a vendor near the quest guy and bought the missing parts
lucky me had enough gil for the items 😄
gil just kind of accumulates in this game, it's mainly used for teleports
good to know 🙂 btw is there reason for my to keep my lvl 1 gear in the armory?
@tender estuary sounds good, ill try those thanks
not really
No once you are able to get lvl 5+ gear from the vendors you can discard your weathered tools and sell the lvl 1 gear
The only reason would be switching to new classes at lvl 1 and you don't like being in the buff
But you can always rebuy lvl 1 gear in each main town
Where do I trade in for sublime solutions?
Why people use gcd skills on biger hot bar
Apprently I need 153 of them
I thought it only be useful for ogcd track
How much stuff are you trying to make holy shit
Full 80 dol/doh
They're 250 White Scrips from Eulmore Scrip Exchange
Team craft is saying 153. By full I mean every doh dol
Is there a way to find previous free companies you were in?
Facet set ya?
still wonder if its better to play with legacy movement compared to standard
Are you ps4?
@upbeat storm you can also desynth level 80 dungeon stuff for the sublimes
Wow okay I'm just stupid actually my bad 😅
Yeah cept in still in hw
Then why are you worried about getting sublimes?
Because my doh dol will hit 80 in about 1 week and I'd like to make money crafting
You won’t be able to make use of them until you unlock the scrip vendor in Eulmore
Since the recipes using them are in mastercraft books
Arent the 7 and 8 books sold for yellows though?
There's much better sources of White Scrips in ShB too
Or am I misremembering
Yes, but You can still only buy them from the Eulmore scrip vendor
yeah but only the exchange in eulmore has these
Why people use gcd skills on biger hot bar
Do we know when we are getting the .5 patch?
Month or two from now probably

Could anyone possibly help me with my pentamelding of my crafting gear please? Like a guide or something?
Like what meld, to get the best stats etc for the upcoming patch tomorrow and so forth. I'm not exactly good at calculating it all out
I recommend checking the DoL / DoH section of the balance
It'll have BiS for gatherers / crafters
the balance?
The balance is the go to for BiS of dps and crafters
They'll have a lot more in depth analysis on jobs etc.
Okay thank you!
As well as crafting rotations, dps rotations etc.
@heavy oracle you get 4% bonus to all main stats vs 5% to all main stats
And you get a bit less LB generation
However, if you can clear without it it doesnt really matter.
For the anima density gathering, do I need to have the weapon equipped to get the density
I'm currently a trial character on the main client, if I buy the complete game package on steam will I be able to use the same character through steam with the new dlc? or will it make me start new cause i'm changing clients
It'd work Rui
Some people like Kazaar would say don't use Steam since you're locked into Steam or Non-Steam and Non-Steam tends to go on sale for stuff more often and whatnot
Is there any other reason other than sales? I plan on buying all dlc at once when I upgrade
@granite wolf you need it equipped when you beat the last boss of the instance
I know some people who have gotten the Steam version of the game have had issues with the mogstation website where it won't let them put in game time cards but that is admittedly an easy fix, just confusing
And not always an issue
So for dungeons you can use a stronger weapon until the final boss
I'm not well versed admittedly but that is all I can think of Rui
gotcha
so what the hell is the difference between classes and jobs
so if im a marauder
So when you go from your class to your job you'll pick up your job skills too and...stuff
Marauder becomes Warrior
so why do i have a quest giving me the option to become a rogue
You can be everything in the game. That's just a quest to unlock the rogue class
u can lvl all classes/jobs on 1 char
stay a marauder though
so theres classes i can unlock that arent available in the character creation?
yes
Just rogue
There are expansion jobs you can unlock and become later on in the game
but in terms of level 1 classes it's just rogue that you can't start off with
because
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Earliest expansion jobs you can get start at level 50 anyway
It doesn't matter what class/job you have to unlock them, they are standalone
so why should i stay a marauder
you shouldnt
you don't
Yeah I'm not sure why they said that
you do your job quests and become a warrior
I assume they just meant "play what you wanted, don't be a rogue"
Warrior is strictly an upgrade to Marauder
yea
is tanking in this game easy
esp as a marauder
idk how that compares to gladiator
They are all really easy to pick up and learn, the hard part of being a tank is actual universal tank skills like knowing how to rotate the boss properly, tank swaps, and whatnot
knowing when to use cooldowns
Gladiator/Paladin I guess you can call the easiest since it has a lot of defensive cooldowns but really that's being picky at that point
also the class -> job advancement mechanic is largely a legacy feature at this point. Originally in order to qualify for a job you needed 30 levels of the base class AND levels in certain other classes (for example you needed 30 levels of Gladiator and 15 levels of Conjurer to qualify for Paladin), but that's long gone
lets keep it on the new stuff
just giving context 🙂
Which part?
just like chat in general
🤔
its just all combat text
I just picked up Botany but I don't know what to do next. I am lvl 1. How can I collect stuff?
is there like a zone/world chat?
Zone yes world no
Click the general tab, sounds like you’re in the battle tab
i did actually try that but nothing happens
dead serious
i spent like 5 minutes clicking it once lmfao
When you say nothing happens do you mean it wouldn't switch or just there was no one chatting?
it wouldnt switch
im not on the game
Oh
but ill post back in here when i can
Any other questions?
Can someone help me please? I want to ask if with Botany if I should just explore and pick up grassy bits or something. I'm new and i'm not sure what I am doing
It's not a bad way to level up for the low levels, doing each item for the first time gives a nice bonus too
But you do want to do leves after a while
If you have joined a grand company at this point you can turn in items there for good xp too
and sometime this patch diadem is going to come out and it's probably going to be really good for leveling
I need some help
Yes?
Is there a way to find previous fc’s you were in before or are they gone forever never to be found?
It’s been a year since I last played and I just returned
Not that I’m aware of.
do i have to clear alex 9 -12 to unlock savage for that tier
Yes
😦
You have to finish a tier before you can unlock savage for that tier

when I reach 80 crafting, how much cp should i have, to craft the newest content stuffs?
it also depends on your control and craftsmanship, but the rotation I've been rolling with need around 530CP
541 with matcha HQ for mid tier
ok thx
so realistically SAM is the closest thing to like, a 2 handed melee dps huh?
well i mean it IS a 2 handed melee dps
but
with a sword that is
because DRG exists
hmmm do i play the weeb class hmmm
im like going through a bunch of classes and still deciding what to play lol. i just lvled a warrior to 56 from lvl 1, and my BLM made it to 77 but im still like, undecided
i know im not a big fan of DRG and all its positionals
and i guess monk too
Samurai and Ninja are the most chill in terms of positionals
Ninja is pretty decently high up on the DPS chart if that's what you're asking
Memorizing mudras
High(?) apm would give you wrist pain
Deals ice damage with a potency of 1,200.
Mudra Combination: Chi→Jin or Ten→Jin
Can only be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Kassatsu at 76 turns Hyoton into this beefy attack
And since Kassatsu boost mudra damage by 20% it’s actually more like 1440 potency
!action Midare setsugekka
And Midare is like 1400 or something with Kaiten and the attack buff from combos, though you can’t directly compare potencies due to buffs/traits and individual job scaling
Which one has the lowest gcd during the late game?
Oh well, what a surprise
Probably monk with greased lightning 4, if you mean fastest
Oh...yeah if you mean that then yeah Monk
Sorry it's a bit weird to hear "lowest" and think fastest xD
is there a SAM simplified rotation thing out there? like theres one for BLM that was really helpful that did lvl by lvl rotations
SAM rotation doesn't change
BLM only has their faq because it changes so drastically depending on level
Yeah, i meant the fastest
While almost all the other DPS are like “just try to do the level 80 rotation with what you have”
meanwhile BLM doesn't get the ability to spam flare until level 72
Monk is the fastest GCD then NIN and SAM have the same GCD (NIN is very marginally faster) but SAM uses a lot of ogcd skills that would make me say it's faster than NIN @hybrid hamlet
Dw, leveling a class cause you like their glam is perfectly valid reason (for real - not sarcastic)
Since you can level anything and everything, why not do what makes you happy
@leaden ginkgo
< Lvl 50: Tenka Goken is fine on single target
< Lvl 62: spend Kenki on Kaiten to buff Higanbana is give you best value, but only if Higanbana can tick all the way
That's the difference in rotation while leveling
I wish, but nope, sb and shb leve is the same old buy and craft your own end product
sb/shb leves are exactly the same as ARR/HW leves
What's the best way to level 60 DoH/L then
leves
Crap
"< Lvl 50" you don't get yukikaze yet
oh
Only applicable on leveling roulette seeing that Samurai starts on 50, but still good to know
@leaden ginkgo daily GC submission, then for DoL - pick fishing cat / flower girl leve plate whenever available
Weekly custom delivery is also g8
And if you have time to spare, daily namazu
Is it easy to run Coil of Bahamut nowadays?
unsynced yes
@rare sable what do you mean about fishing cat/flower girl
Probably a random question but does not doing savage content instantly make most players see you as a bad player? Like I'd like to think I'm at least competent but the thought of savage raids make my anxiety skyrocket so I've never tried them - that and I don't have enough friends for it :u

I just always got those vibes i guess aha
You can try from ex
When you start doing savages you’ll notice there’s a thin line between luck/biS gear/and then player competency
If you’ve ever cleared a savage run with a pug you’ll know which one or all of those your party had
resolved
sorry
It's for your own protection xP
okay so when you get the confirmation code in your email where to you type it please
thank you
I have a question
Is there anyway I can allocate the game like chose where it installs
I know on Steam you can create multiple libraries or move the entire Steam folder
If retail... Maybe the installer gives you an option as well
The installer does not alllow you to do that, not that I know of
I just move the launcher's folder
does this game have a /timeplayed equivalent?
/playtime
thx!
Only shows playtime for one character though
Is there any reason to have other characters in this game? Other than fashion
Generally just RP or wanting to play with different groups of friends
or just people that want to replay the game a lot
Thx
Meant to add that yeah there's no benefit other than personal goals like that
There's one other reason which is "Timelocked Gear" at end game and for the earlier parts of the raid tier you can only REALLY be best in slot if you focus one job, so people make alts so they can get around that and be BiS with at least 2 jobs
Hey could anyone help me with a situation involving pc and PS4?

Have you completed enough of your MSQ?
Level 16 is just the minimum level needed to queue for the roulette
Since that’s when you get your second dungeon
oh ok
Story skip or lvl skip
It includes all dungeons that aren’t level 50/60/70/80 that you have unlocked
If you only got a lvl skip you still have to complete enough of the MSQ to unlock the level roulettes as you wouldn’t have even done the dungeons yet
Hm ok
When I get this message, does it mean the next time I harvest the node it will be the hidden fish?
So I switch my spearhead?
i see that it's just a hint
it prints like 3-4 times then a node shows up
my friend wants to know the best way to level from 10-15
Hunting Log
I have 2.38 skill speed on my sam is that an okay speed or should i use materia to increase it?
A that level using Hunting Log or FATEs
Leves and hunting logs and fates along the way as well as MSQ
Sweet thanks guys
Is it helpful if my friend with a higher level character helps me with my hunting log
Or does that stunt my exp
Hunting log is fixed experience so it won’t hurt it
most of the XP comes from completion of Hlog portions rather than the kills themselves
What do I do with the vouchers I get from dungeons
what vouchers
when yuo can drop a screenshot
They're listed as rewards for leveling roulette for sure
The currency that looks like paper?
Yeah
Seals?
Those are Grand Company seals, which are spent at your grand company for promotions or items/equipment
Grand Company seals
Yeah
you can use them to exchange for certain items at your Grand Company Vendor
GC = Grand Company
i know
Maelstrom/Immortal Flames/Twin Adders
You join one as part of your MSQ
I was asking what the gc is
You literally can't skip joining a grand company
In story - it's one of three armies Eorzea has which you can join
In the context of the MMO, it's completely optional content which has it's own rewards and content, mostly for solo players.
There used to be PvP related stuff to it but it caused horrible unbalanced gameplay
optional after you join
so for lvling DPS jobs is POTD/HOH the best option plus daily trials?
after daily roulettes yes
can anyone pls help me and tell me why i am missing my hotbar slots after I transferred my account from free trial to full game?
They likely arent missing. You can check various ettings to see if they are made invisible.
i just saw someone else's message above yours, didnt get to read fully. what was the message?
what settings?
I didnt read it entirely but they said Free trial data doesnt save to main game.
But its the same thing.
odd cuz im able to backup character, gear, and everything else, the only missing is hotbar data
System->Character Settings->Hotbar settings tab
Sometimes you might have to remake hotbar settings
If you go to System->Hud Layout you can have preset UIs saved which include Hotbar set ups
^
Was deeply sad when I backed my data up on PS4 only to find my hotbars wiped when I logged in on pc
so how the heck do i get my attack and other slots back? like where do i find my skills for me to reassign them?
If on Pc the default hotkey is P if Iirc
Character > Actions and Traits
So I just noticed that a medicine I was using was about to wear off but I was in the crafting process already so it didn't, does this also apply to food as well?
Yes it applies to food/medical buffs
Food and Medicine was changed so it stays applied until the craft is finished
I see, thanks guys
ok tyvm
Actions are specific to jobs and Role is to that type of job. So Tanks share actions. Healers share. Physcial DPS share etc etc
@celest bison unfortunately you’ll have to reassign your hotbar actions/role skills through the actions and traits menu
oooof rip ty for your help, guys
hi i have a noob question. what do all the <se.2> mean when party members write that in chat?
whats the setting to lower the amount of ppl i see
It makes one of the sound effects play.
Usually to try and get someones attention
It’s a macro ping
oh. isn't that kind of obnoxious?
uh .... when you upgrade an ARR crafter tool to Lucis, does it unlock ALL of them? Cause I just checked the calamity salvager and I should only have two, but I have all of them lol
if its misused or spammed it can be.
im not seeing an option to limit the amount of people you see but there are options to removing their shadows or redducing their wind effects if they are too taxing on your system
Hello! Please tell me if there is a tracking of the dps of the group and yourself. If there are several which are better (you can also reference to the installation). Thanks!
No in game tracking but Active Combat Tracker (ACT) is very common. Do NOT talk about it in game as its an easy way to get reported.
there's people who literally fish for a way to report people, and ACT/Parsing a surefire way to give them ammo ^
where do i find the buttons such as teleport, ? not the ones in Actions & Traits
action and traits > general
You'll find buttons for lots of things there
oh im blind facepalm
like random mount, the true best way to call a mount. Gotta flex those raid mounts
until you get something you regret unlocking like Managarm
that's why you set it to only call favourites then populate that list with extreme and savage mounts only v:
(then end up using the mount guide to call the gobwalker anyway because you wanna hear Locus for the hundredth time)
Thats almost too few
I like most mounts but Managarm is so dumb
I turned mount music off. I hate the generic mount music which most use
What's the name of the chocobo mount that looks like a plant
Green and white
Don't know if it is an actual mount or just cosmetic stuff for chocobos
I can’t think of any barding that’s plant themed.
I can think of the Titania Barding
the only cosmetic stuff for chocobos is the barding
No green on that one though
Titania one has no green yeah
Does A10S give less density than A12S?

Samurai barding is green iirc
Density?
theres a pf group up for a10s but someone told me a12s is faster
I think they give the same, though most people do A9S for the speed
Oh, Sephirot's a big boi plant
for Ligght farmingn
Ohhh lmao
I'm going to take a guess and say you either saw a morbol mount, Korpokkur Kolossus or Sabotender Emperador
The Sephirot Barding does have green but no white
It was a chocobo
Amaros can look moldy I guess in the right light but thats a stretch
Guess it was titania's
This?
not really plant like at all
That’s not green at all lmao
It's a little blue-green
The cyan could be seen as a bit green yeah
Teal
Yeah my memory is failing me
Is green/blue
This is the only other thing I can assume if their chocobo was white
Which is sephirot
Was sorting thru all my Bardings like where tf is a green and white one lol
Ceremony Bo has a bit of green on it but i dont think its what he meant
Meant teal and white if it was Titania
Legitimate question, why does smn still have physick? It’s completely devoid of use at this point as the potency has been robbed of its general function?
Though the green was probably from the owner's armor
Because ACN has physick which is shared with SCH
No one really knows the true reason probably the code restrictions
If they were gunna keep it through 5.0 revamps why not give it back it’s functional potency I am so confused by this action choice @-@
Before RDM it had decent solo healing capabilities
It's kept there as a legacy mechanic because one of ACN's class quests requires physick?
but it has always scaled with mnd
I think?
and thus always been awful for smn
It did for me to be frank I never ran into a spot where I’d die once I used it pre 4.0
if you're dying because you don't have physick then make use of topaz carbuncle/titan egi-
I’m not I’m just mentioning that I’ve never had to struggle pre 4.0 with its use and self healing
But just curious why they kept it past 5.0 is all.
ACN shenanigans
It’s because of the pre 30 solo healing limitations as ACN
It doesn’t hurt to ask given the fact that people find useful information sometimes pertaining to these topics.
It’s not meant to be potent as an 80 endgame SMN skill
Ok that makes more sense thank you loxxi! ^-^
What the hell
Wtf
<@&100464652139368448>
Understandable
y'all dont need to comment on it
Just to add, SMN's Physick is not the only "useless" skills
i banned them
Don't think too much of a weak Physick at lvl 80
this may have been asked before but is there any way to fix discord overlay for this game? I just cant get it to recognize the game
launch discord as admin
XIV doesnt play nice with Overlays
Im having the same problem
Yeah I usually just leave that ability off my hot bars @warped nest
Discord only recognizes the launcher
alt tabbing is so frustrating. I have started discord as admin but no dice
yeah, as florise said
I had the issue of it constantly being annoying to get off my screen not on lol
Personally I had to use an external mouse to make it bigger
The touchpad over the corner tap and hold then drag
Moving your finger along the touchpad acts as a mouse
can we get multiple princess's peach corsage from the little ladies event?
?
if you can it'll probably be from the calamity vendor
dye it more than once ofc
its not letting me drag with virtual mouse, it just keeps clicking other part of the screen @leaden ginkgo
And apply it to multiple gearsets
@celest bison are you trying to expand the chat log out?
And you’ll save glam prisms too btw by putting it in your glam chest
okk i got it fixed, thanks
Np
It’s tricky you kindof have to tap and hold the corner just right for a second for it to drag
how do i finish enclave really quick
you can't
Max it out every week.
but its on a week to week basis.
rephrase: whats the most gil efficient item to donate
clear demimateria probably
can also do demicrystals from poetics if you're not using those for anythin
question maybe someone can answer. can an account that has not been active for over a year be recruited for recruit a friend?
So long as that account has never bought a subscription to the game, sure
No sadly, pre first subs only
gotcha thanks.
what is this from https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/7faa8bad8e8/
its from one of the main scenario quests
HW I think
oh that explains it
no, its lv 70 quest "A Requiem of Heores"
literally the last quest of StormBlood post game
what can friends do with nothing checked here? https://i.imgur.com/HHicM3L.png
so they cant do anything dangerous
They can eat your holdiay foods so careful there
they can??
yes, they can still interact with items
Yeah like an FC house
hm but what does this do then https://i.imgur.com/1RqwPFR.png
Whether they can go in or if friends can teleport to your estate
and no1 can nibble on my food?
They might still be able to interact with your items if they're your tenants
if they aren't your tenants then I don't think they can
basically if you dont trust friends not to touch your food, don't make them a tenant
ye i just want them to be able to tp but not use anything other than the chairs lol
yeah just don't make them a tenant and enable teleportation
they can still /sit in the chairs
thanks

The swallowskin tool belt is the best crafter waist you can get right now right?
Didn't see any facet or scrip waist piece
correct
Can you new game plus class quest?
not yet
Is there no demimateria book for culinarian?
no
demimateria tastes gritty
MAWKET BOOOAAAARD
around 60-120k on chaos markets
for the pixie beast tribes am i only able to do 3 quests daily?
yes, unless you rank up (barring rank 7/8 rank ups) then you're given an extra 3 to do
Yep
Multiple imitation windows side by side
do i still need to have low ping to play machinist after the expansion?
I'm not sure where I'd rate it now but it is certainly a lot better in that regard now
Hypercharge windows are still fairly ping intensive, but if you enter them with 0 charges on Gauss/Ricochet you only need to do 2 or 3 weaves of them to avoid overcapping
It’ll be rough for Hypercharge windows, but outside of those you’ll manage
You can certainly play it with 160ms. High ping will only potentially affect your enjoyment and limit your very high tier performance of the job. You can very much still do well and clear any content on mch with your ping.
ok thanks !
Anyone knows the name of the track that plays during the Little Ladies event cutscene, after "Return of the Hero"?

https://youtu.be/HZp85otES8c?t=1381 this track right here
Hello everyone! This is Princess Farron with another quest guide for Final Fantasy XIV ' s Little Ladies' Day seasonal event.
All cutscenes are included and so are the rewards.
Anyone here pick between gnb and drk? What made you choose what?
Does anyone have triple triad guide? Like what cards to bring in, what moves etc?
Do the npcs behave predictably enough for that?
Regarding DRK vs GNB, despite maxing both, i prefer DRK solely based off TBN
Triple Triad NPCs are not that predictable
their decks are also chosen from a small pool so it's different each time you chalenge them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zayI96sSLfQ general guide + decks here
It's time to learn more about Triple Triad and all of its rules!
You can now support the channel through Patreon! ► https://www.patreon.com/graehlgaming

where do I unlock red mage?
you need a combat class at lv. 50, and you need Stormblood installed. If you do, go to Ul'Dah and talk to the "Distraught Lass"--- otherwise, she'll still be there but the quest will be locked @unreal badge
Taking the Red
ty
np 
does the new beast tribe give allegory if you're maxed out on level?
I know Pixies do, I wanna say that Qitari don't however?
yeah just found out lol
Believe they give phantas instead since those are useful for crafters/gatherers
so far just cordials
ah okay
Eden raid
Pixies if you haven't
what was the easiest way to farm grade vi materia?
Vendors
I think I got stacks from the scrip vendor in rhalgors reach
Or the materia vendor
you can also buy grade 6 for poetics in Idyllshire
its like 800 poetics though
Oh wait those are hand and land 6’s
im not sure if the best is to ust buy them and pray i dont need to buy that many
combat materia i mean
I’m pretty sure the scrip vendor was much easier
At what level/ilvl should I be able to solo most of the bindinng coils?
depends on the job because it's mostly a health issue
PLD: of course
RDM: eh, not quite
Any of the healers: Yeah, probably
At what level tho? Haha
if you want to do it safely with most jobs, 80
tanks can start soloing sooner, rather than later
Got it thanks 😄 hard to find peopl to run it with
I solo’d all the EX trials for my ponies with PLD at lvl 70 with ease and the first few binding coils as well unsynched
I’d say as a base 70 tank you can solo that stuff very easily

My pld is at but only at around 170ish ilvl because I’m still in HW
Would he be able to do it?
Is at level 70*
Your PLD is 70
Yes
Should be able to solo the first 3 binding coils then
Unsynched
One of them you will need help but I think it’s the one with twintania in it
Can’t remember which coil that one was
twintania is t5
How many people would I need to bring?
Just a healer
Alright! thanks guys:D
Dunno about a discord, but we don't have a channel specifically for glamour. if you're looking for glamour help tho you can ask in here or #ffxiv-screenshots
is it possible to "try on" more than one thing at a time?
yes, there's a "save outfit" option at the bottom of the dressing room window
anyone know why i cannot do my level 80 job quest even though shadowbringers is done + role quests + previous job quests
nevermind the quest isnt blue with a plus sign for some reason
because it doesn't unlock anything
it gives a title, but that's it
for future reference though, all of the 80 job quests are normal side quests
is it possible to copy an item code into the game to get a link to it and try it on?
This Diadem-like thing coming in 5.21 can someone give me the run down of what it is or supposed to be? And can I use it to level my miner
The only regions that don't get updates at the same time is CN/KR
as those servers are run by a different company

@ivory iris Afaik, from what we've been told, it's gonna tie to the next tier of the Ishgardian Restoration, being the Gatherers' activity to level and such
that's even better
who is stronger in lore... Ifrit or Belias?
how hard is tanking
Not very
Tanking adds in dungeon: cycle your defensive abilities around so you have defensive buff up at all time, don't use them all in one go. Try not to move too much unless necessary. Use AOE to keep the adds aggro on you
Tanking boss in dungeon/trial: same stuff with defensive cooldown, but try to save some for the harder hitting attack (this is referred as tank-buster). For some mechanics, you would need to move the boss around for a lil bit.
Tried tping to MorDhona and got this
Now every single time I try to log in I get that error on loading screen
(the one with the mail moogle)
I don't use mods, by the way
and I don't have any mod installed, or special visual effect 3rd party program, just vanilla ff14
Any idea what this might be?
Again...
have you lowered your graphics down to min?
what directX are you on?
I know it sounds NUTS but i get a very similar error in ONE SPECIFIC SPOT in yanxia
I've never ever ever encountered this issue before, and it's gonna sound so stupid but I just fantasia'd into a lala and tp'd to MorDona like I said
and then BAM it crashed
maybe it tried to load too many items?
like i said, lower your graphics settings to the actual lowest setting
how do I lower my graphics down?
like laptop low
when you load into the game and click your character, does it crash instantly now?
You can lower your graphics in the graphics settings in your settings
yeah so you load in, hit esc and go to your graphics settings
that's why i asked if it was instant
oh okok
Question.....what can I do with the extra materials for ishgardian restoration, the ones that doesn't reach the collectivity number

So I reinstalled this but now I can’t login
@dim ridge So I asked a friend to move me out of MorDona
and they did and I was able to log in and move normally in Gridania
yeah
like, as soon as I do the "hovering on the floor concentrating" emote
I'm entirely serious about the graphics thing
okay past that I'm stumped then!
ifits dx11 it happens switch to 9
and I've never encountered this issue before
yeah that, try 9
ok
it does it to me to the point of just staying on 9 for a week ):
thats it
that's so odd
not even the second, the milisecond
update drivers?
that's what I'm thinking
is the only solution reinstalling?
:(
my pc is saying my drivers are up to date
Might be. :\
😭
lemme ping hank just to be sure
@tender estuary what do you think if someone consistently has a crash the instant they try to teleport to a specific zone?
Stupid question, how to get the little ladies funitures? I get the head pieces but the repeated quest is just for confetties?
buy the furniture from the vendor near where the event started
read up on the issue, and it seems like its something about Brynhildr
so it's just brynhildr being derpy right now?
Ouw, thanks as always wynne :3
so like tping to North Shroud should work
dunno, but the samme issues leads to saying its Brynhildr
whats Brynhildr
so if you start an instance of e8s a few minutes before the reset, will it count as next week if you clear after?
Your loot drop will count for that week you first joined the instance yeah
though, im not sure if it locks you out for that week you leave
gpu drivers are up to date afaik though
and I was able to go to mordona last night just fine
it was only after I fantasia'd and tpd tonight
that i crashed constantly
w/e I'll reinstall
and cry
make sure to back up your character info though
so you can quickly get back your hud/hotbar/gearsets, among other things
How needed is it to do the crystal tower before shb? I just met a certain person yesterday and I'm not sure if I can continue the story or take a few days to 1st try to do the tower? Not even sure if pple still que for it.
So, as a mid-level noobling, how concerned should I be that my gear is 10 levels below me? ie, main job is 39, gear is 28
@leaden ginkgo it adds a few extra dialogue choices and adjusts a few of the later cutscenes, but is not strictly required. As for queue time Crystal tower is fairly fast due to the Alliance Raid roulette and also being generally the fastest of the 24-mans to run
@obsidian patio aha, tyvm. I'll see if I can complete it.
@wraith marlin if you're a tank then I suggest upgrading your gear right away if you're doing dungeons that are at your level.
just dps.
but if you're still going through level 30 or so of the story then you can keep relying on the quest give-outs
What accessories are you using? you can get level 28/29 ones from a vendor near the Goldsmith's guild in Ul'dah
those can last until 50
ah, ok. I will check that out.

is there anyway i can trial a class without having to buy any dlc
Nope.
Does dlc ever go on sale
most recent sale for the square enix store was in january
I don't expect it to go on sale for at least another month or two
Any spanish guild on zodiark ? im new to the game and i'd like to see what guild are like here, (still lvl 45, so no raiding atm, but will want to get into it as soon as i hit 80)
Best friends forever anima quest can be solod right
None of the primal fights will kill me at 80 for going solo?
trying to get to the Mord Souq, could any1 help me
That's the dmg reduction buff they get right
yep
@rare jetty I recommend using party finder or searching through #recruitment-light
Unless I can burn through with IR
might be able to, Inner Release is a lot of burst
True that
trying to get to the Mord Souq, could any1 help me
moreso if you don't use your infuriate stacks for the first part
I'll give it a shot
@timber spindle How do you need help exactly? Did you leave the area before attuning to the aetheryte?
The story should take you there then with the quest "In Search of Alisaie"
can you change GCs?
Yes
Your first time is for free but after that you have to pay a small Gil fee and there is a time limit before you can do it again
@timber spindle Have you done any of the "Alisaie questline"?
how do I do it?
Is there any site or ip to ping in cmd to check my connection to ff14? I'm lagging like a madman but it's only ingame, no other sites/anything.
Just uh, talk to the officer of the GC you want to swap to and there should be dialogue for it IIRC @unreal badge
You'll also need to be the rank of Second Lieutenant
@ebon kindle https://arrstatus.com/ for IP addresses and then you can ping them from Windows
only private first class ATM
Is there a resource i can check for value of items on market while im out gathering?
sad
Thank you thank you @wintry chasm . Any idea of what servers to check ping on if I'm in a duty, like to a random dungeon?
since your role says you're aether, you'll ping 204.2.229.9
I expected different IPs for each server before pulling it up* myb
Does there exist a scrub's guide to the fishing boat? Is it foolish to start at lv1?
Well no because the point of data centers is that it's a center where a bunch of servers are held so you'd just do data center @ebon kindle
You most likely won't be able to get the shark mount and titles, but you can definitely do it at level 1
This discord has a few channels dedicated to Ocean fishing, and has pins for guides and info https://discord.gg/AnFaDpN
tyty
so the crystarium deliveries. how many of those can i complete before it stops me lol
@twilit arch do you have any idea for Pookie?
@twin kelp they go up to level 80
It's basically the crafting /gathering quests
Once you do the questline you're done
oh okay. so theyre not repeatable that makes sense ty
also since i dont have quests for my job, what's the best (least expensive) way to keep my gathering gear up to date going 70-80?
By making gear is the obvious answer
i havent gotten around to leveling a crafter yet sadly
If you can't do that then...have fun buying it somewhere
:(
Maybe a nice friend could make you something?
the darkest timeline
what's the best way to grind gc ranks?
gc turn ins
do I need to be sgt second class to turn in armor/weapons?
yes
until then you can do the grand company hunting log, fates, and roulettes that give seals

where do you spend your tombs on ShB?
so everywhere I read, the BRD DoTs are said to have 40% to proc on hit per DoT, but my song description only list 20%, am I underleveled and will get this 40% figure later or was it changed? Or am I simply misunderstanding the percentage here?
hmm, according to the official jobguide website it lists 40%
But I don't see a trait that directly says that the chance to proc is increased from some amount
I think it's when Venomous Bite and Windbite are upgraded at 64?
only thing I can think of
!action mage's ballad says 40%
yes, but when I look at Garland tools, it shows a text toggle option for 20% and 40%
to show that the tooltip changes due to traits and stuff
No song related traits here
How can I keep house plot if I have to unsub for some time
so when I start a new job (fishing) and I equip the rod I'm naked? how do I go about getting level 1 gear for fishing?
From an NPC vendor
which one?
I think they're called Fieldcraft something. Should be one in Hawker's Alley, since you specifically mentioned FSH
Fish naked, if nothing else
the starter gear is also sold by the same npcs that sell the greens for your chocobo
@leaden ginkgo your only option is to enter the house every 45 days.
if you plan to unsub longer than that, then there's no real option besides reclaiming the gil compensation and furniture that are available for up to 45 days past the automatic demolition
I just got my zenith relic weapon, and I seem to be unable to put in my glamour chest thingy, do I have to use prisms specifically for the relic weapon?
Relic weapons can't go into the dresser
only replicas of relic weapons can go into the dresser
which for the zodiac series, can only be bought after completing the entire relic
It is indeed the upgrade to stormbite/caustic bite where repertoire proc rate increases to 40%, by the way, to confirm what you mentioned earlier
cuz I was able to use a prism on the first stage of the relic weapon
yeah you'll have to use the old method of directly applying the glamour for relic weapons
I see
about buying replicas, I read on some wiki that you can repurchase all relic weapons but they will start at stage 1 again (which i assume is the base one without any glow effects) does this mean that I would simply need to stop the relic quest at the specific point where it has the glow I like the most?
and just apply prisms over and over
Yes you can buy the first stage of the ARR relics back from the calamity salvager
but you'll still have to do the steps again without any shortcuts
right, so stopping the quest at the stage where I like the look of the weapon and use prisms is the only way I can keep that specific look of the relic
I wont get all the stages for glamour use if I complete all the stages of the artifact, is what I assume
You will, with the ability to buy replicas of the earlier stages once you complete that relic
!iglam unfinished Bravura Replica
you even get the unfinished stage as a replica
Dunno if this is the right place to ask this, but this is the state of my account. Do I have to buy Stormblood + Shadowbringers to be able to play on PC? And if yes, is there a bundle that offers (cheaply maybe?) those 2 expansions + game time? I have done many goofs buying the wrong product in the SE shop in the past and I want to make sure I don't do another one 
shadowbringers comes with the previous expansions, so all you need to do is buy that to get stormblood
Expansions do not come with game time, so you'll have to buy a sub/game card
Thanks a lot!
From what I understand I cannot buy the Complete Edition and add the expansions + the game time to an already existing account, right?
you could, but it would essentially be a waste since you already own ARR so you wouldn't get the 30 days from it
From what I'm reading buying complete edition with base game registered gives no free days
assuming you buy for the same platform
is there a way to change the way my character holds their weapon
should be /cpose when you have your weapon out.
if you're talking the combat stance, no
For the atma zodiac weapon, can I do the low level fates? or the ones around level 50
It wants you to do FATEs in all the various zones
yes, can I cheese it and do the super easy fates that are for level 3 though?
One drop from each zone
Some zones will only have low leveled ones, but you can't get another zone's drop anywhere else
Any fate works
But yes, if a zone has both lower and higher leveled ones, you can do the low level ones
yeah, i just realized level sync is a thing for fates
Friends, the master reciepe VI are the last reciepe rank, yes?
no VIII is the current final book
so with fishing, the instructor said if i stand in the spot for too long, the fish will know and won't bite as much, how far do i need to move? can i just a few steps to the left/right?
usually can just take a step or two to the side and it'll work
yeah just a couple steps will do
and how long is that spot on cooldown from me fishing to much from it? a little confusing
I remember only seeing it past like 30 minutes or so before it gives the message
oh! there's a message when you've fished too much at one spot? i just thought it was random and i should swap every few fish caught
I'm told that it is bot prevention
yeah it basically tells you when the fishes are suspicious/scared
Yeah a system message notifies you "The fish sense something amiss"
oh oki thank you
Fish: I think that guy's botting
Wynne, please, this is #questions-and-help
Obviously the fish realize something is wrong when their friends didn't return from their supposed roller coaster ride
can you get the anima crystals as a BLU?
The ones from the FATEs? I don't see why not.
hrm.
It just need you to have the quest active
If you are mad enough, you can FATE level 2-3 jobs while farming enough Atma for all jobs with Anima relic
The game will let you
okay & sorry last question, what does it mean when i'm fishing and there is two !! on my head instead of one !
Tug strength
it's used for Patience+Precision/Powerful Hookset
Precision for tugs with 1 !, Powerful for 2 and 3 !
okay i'm only level 9 but I'll keep that in mind thank you ^^
When you use Patience, you increase HQ chance massively, but normal Hook become crap. You'd need to use Precise/Powerful Hookset to reel in the fish
There are a few fish with !!! tugs that want precision, but they're not something you really fish often
For low level Fisher, the exclamation mark is still helpful
If you want to farm specific fish, you want to remember their tug strength and timing
For example, Fish A has weak tug at 10s
So if you got nothing after 15s, you are better off reeling in and cast again
Instead of waiting for some other fish to bite
so i accepted a quest to get an anima weapon, and i was wondering which route is best to go? the weapon or the crystals?
Crystals 100%
Getting a Zodiac weapon to skip one step will most likely take longer than completing an anima weapon
The weapon trade in is just a freebie for players who have farmed Zodiac in ARR
oh okay thanks
If I fail SB craft quests I can just ask for more materials, with no risk of screwing up, correct?
Guess I'll waste a few crystals but that's okay?
Correct
Thank god
no real percentages, but my worst drystreak when I recently did the Scholar Anima was like 10 fates?
Mine was similar
my average is around 3-4 fates.
It's true RNG. Sometimes you get it on first try, sometimes you gotta grind it for days.
with how much it's been buffed, I doubt anyone could go more than 20 fates dry without being obscenely unlicky
If we were talking about original atma drop rate, then I'd agree on it possibly taking days.
But with a level 5+ chocobro and a 10 level advantage (and Scaevan gear) each fate is but a couple minutes
Level advantage and Scaevan gear won't help due to level sync
True, but you do need enough level advantage to be synced

Considering you have to be level 60 to start the relic, and its all HW Fates, you already have the level advantage
Sigh, I'm getting tired of this game and I only started about 2 weeks ago. Things like POTD and PVP are dead/hard to get into...
im level 62 and i need a fast way to get 400k
so i can do a DNG at level 63 any idea?
If you do a world transfer do you transfer your gil over, or do you have to buy things like demimateria and platinum pieces to transfer it over
Depends on how much gil you have but you can bring quite a bit and so can your retainers
how can you progress beyong captain in the grand company?
every source just lists the conditions as "??"
there's like 10 ranks that are inaccessible, seems very weird
Captain currently highest rank
when were the other ranks added?
it's a bit unsatifying to see all these ranks in the list that are just unachievable
They are slated to increase them again soon
fair enough, thank you!
hey, returning player here, did they remove the ability to sell to venders?
