Is Anemos the highest stage for Eureka weapons?
the final step for the eureka weapon is "X Eureka"
anemos is essentially the first step
Scaevan gear is fine
okay good dps?
The final eureka step involves upgrade drops from arsenal (which is optional but suggested if for whatever reason you want to complete other eureka weapons)
How longs stormblood patch stuff? Can I bang it out in a day
Probably, there are a decent amount of semi-long cutscenes in the second half of the patches
But it should take about as long as heavensward patches did
https://youtu.be/8JPfQb549Eo?t=147 does anyone know the song at the time stamp?
Do leveling roulette if you haven’t. After that spam Aurum Vale until you hit 50
Exponential Entropy @upbeat storm
Yeah I did roulette
ty
also, Aurum Vale is toxic T_T
Its full of gold
is it possible to play through the same story quests as a different class?
Oh well HW is what I was hoping to repeat
do I have to complete the whole thing to then do it on another class, or can I do it one step at a time?
Maybe what you're looking at is only the cutscenes...
Can replay most cutscenes from the inn
no not the cuscenes
Believe you need to finish all of HW first to unlock New Game+ in the first place, though I'm not too informed on it
You need to complete "heavensward" to unlock new game plus
ty
how difficult is it (estimate) to find an open large plot for sale
find one isnt the issue
finding one with an open opportunity is hard
Tbh I don't think I've ever seen one be open
become a fan of standing still for hours waiting at a placard
With 40m~ gil just laying around
basically, don't dream on it
Unless they add new wards, then maybe

You’d need to own a house of some kind even then. Large plots would sell out within minutes or hours.
I feel like large plots would sell nearly instantly cause of relocation
^
Everyone on the server that doesn't have a large plot (so like 98% of players) will be looking for large plots
You'd have to own a house already and be the first of hundreds of people to interact with the sign if you want any hopes of getting one nowadays
Or buy an entire FC from another
You probably MIGHT see a guy in PF advertising the selling of one
Since people like to buy them to resell because the housing system is kinda shit
how do you unlock nier raid
In tomra, there is a questline with a dwarf "NieR" the aether
Is it just me, or does equipment no longer have a field that shows whether or not advanced melding is forbidden?
It's just you
Where is it? I can't find it
Not seeing it...
If it's not there you can do it, if it is you can't, gear you get from raids can't be overmelded, un-augmented crafted gear is the only stuff that can be overmelded
Even on Gear where I know it's forbidden I don't see it.
Wait... advanced melding isn't forbidden on Edengate stuff?
It is
Ironworks can't even be melded at all
ironworks doesn't have meld slots
Is it worth it to buy a 390 weapon with Allagan tomestones or will I somehow get a weapon another way?
@leaden ginkgo Talking about gathering and crafting stuff
They have both materia slots and can be overmelded.
crafted gear in general can be overmelded
yeah those can be overmelded since they're crafted
Besides youtube and making characters, is there a way to listen to fem au ra voices?
If you mean a Scaevan weapon then yeah buy it and augment it
im having serious trouble finding emote ones
@queen flame You don't need to actually make a new character to listen to the voices.
You can go into character creation whenever you want and play around with it.
Can even save a character appearance.
oh I messed up my question, what I meant was
For specific emote ones you do
Is it worth it to buy a 490* weapon with tomestones of allegory
If you plan on doing savage, generally no.
Is savage the hardest?
Savage tier 3 is usually hardest if you dont count Ultimates
Besides the ultimate fights, yes
if it's worked before it's you or them
Then yeah it's probably either your internet lost a few "Packets" and lagged or (and this is usually rare but not totally out of the question) it might of been server lag
But if it's not persisting then it's not a huge deal, and if it is from my experience it's usually the internet server provider's end
question. if I use fantasia, can i use the hairstyles i've unlocked on my previous character?
not during the fantasia remake
once it's final then you can go to aesthetician
you'll have to go to the aesthetician after you finish with the fantasia to use any previously unlocked hairstyles
Just don't fantasia to a hrothgar/viera, they have no other hair options whether you buy them or not

Should i skip class quest? Or there are some interesting?
Always do your class/job quests
They are very important to learning all your skills
You have to do them
@leaden ginkgo @ornate mango im talkong about skiping lore
that's totally just whatever you prefer, some of them rock like Dark Knights and others are Meh like Paladin's
@leaden ginkgo yeah but dark knight is a job storu
Class story at least for maruder is meh
But warrior looks at least interesting
Some of them tie in to the main story
Well, Job story
In fact I think most of the class quests tie in to the job quest at some point or another
But it's more like a "Go on a mini adventure with your old guild leader" or something
most people don't like the job quests randomly becoming a romcom
though the 60-70 quests are a bit better received because at least they dropped all pretenses to the contrary
romantic comedy
If i transfer to another world do i need to buy platinum pieces to take my gil with me o:
unless you're somehow over 999,999,999 gil on both characters and retainer
no, you don't
isn't it 10 mil per character and 5 per retainer
they changed it to be max gil cap
oh nice
Any new Hildebrande in this patch?
no
I cannot catch a rock lobster x.x

Hey guys, ive always been interested in ffxiv. I tried before up to lvl 26 conjuerer and stopped. Now im back in again but im a working adult now and dont have enough time so I decided to skip ARR and job boost white mage. But I am overwhelmed by everything. Can anyone help me out a bit? Thanks :D
well
thats what you get for skipping right ahead lol
nothing really to tell you other than watching/reading guides, maybe story summaries of the past expansions and to practice using the practice dummys etc
if you have any specific questions then just ask them here cause "I boosted please help" is pretty vague
go through the dungeons
I read story summaries and practiced on dummies. Should i just follow the MSQ and learn slowly from it. Did you guys learn other job skills from experience and videos. Do I just use whatever gear I might get fron msq that are better than the currently provided. Do you use the stores and trading stores often or whether they are good?
they'll level sync you, so you'll have less abilities
figure out what does what
where to put the abilities
get a feel for healing vs dps
(and discover the majesty that is holy)
your job skip has handed ilvl400 gear, you won't need to make any swaps until you get into shadowbringers
Yea holy is strong, i havent went through any msq in hw yet cuz i spent hours on practicing dummies, rotations and hud settings but still feel confused where to start next
sorry 390 gear*
Did you guys learn other job skills from experience and videos
experience pretty much. once you get to know the game and how everything works, its fairly easy to get into other jobs
whm really isn't meant to be tried on dummies
you don't really have much of a rotation
it's dia + stone/glare for DPS
so dungeons for the healing experience
yea that was weird as well cuz i was gonna go summoner or bard during my try a yr ago and there were rotations but the guides for whm never mentioned rotations or what
which, since you're outleveled and outgeared, should be relatively smooth sailing
in terms of damage you work around keeping your dot (dia/aero) up and you mashing glare/stone on single target
whm is a healer
you're more priority based rather than rotation for damage
The job skip is lvl 70 and im starting hw, no exp so i wont get dia or blood lily for a while
it's aero earlier on
like do you need to premitigate a raidwide
shield for TBs
etc
or nothing happening so your asylum can tick up the tank
so throw out damage etc
does regen and medica 2 stack the same regen over time?
yes
different regen buffs will appear
so you can use both
2 whms can use them as well
and they stack
when should i use the spell that allows instant cast and the other that makes sure u can get the cast off?
surecast almost never
swiftcast almost always saved for raise
(when people die)
unless you're confident nobody's gonna die
swiftcast if you're confident in your group
then do a swiftcast stone/glare for flex
can be used for a cast of holy in big pulls too to get the stun off more quickly
normally its the tanks that go first pull correct?
big thing with holy is that the stun duration will be reduced with subsequent effect
1st is 4sec stun, then 2sec, then 1sec, then brief interrupt
does holy stun big bosses or not
tanks pull yes, they set a pace, but if you're not comfy you can ask them to slow down
most bosses have cc resist
wow, uh, doing fates as a healer is slow and not fun
early level dungeons you can stun bosses up to like maybe haukke manor
but that wouldn't be your job anyways
so i want to ask, normally where do people get their endgame gear, trade, craft, buy or drops from msq?
the endgame raids/tomestone vendor
you can start with endgame market board gear if you have the gil
As melee dps when is it OK to use limit break? Is it ok to use it on the middle boss of a dungeon when you know it'll refill for the last boss?
how do I get a flying mount
What if the bard in the party refused to do that and instead failed mechanics during the last boss because they were typing-lecturing the melee dps about never using LB before the final boss in the dungeon?
so i should slip in holy off cd, when should i slip in assize and confession. also is aero 2 even worth using if i have stone4
eat the lost and move on
Use LB when it deals the most damage
assize you use on cooldown
If that is on a trash pack, good
(unless you know enough about the fight to know when it's better to delay)
It's free damage, not a finisher
confession you use when you need extra healing (usually after major partywide damage)
aero is a damage over time, you use it in conjunction with stone/glare
ah yes i remember, do i need to buy potions for dungeons, where to buy them, do u bind them onto hotbar?
you do not need to buy pots for dungeons
If I wanna bird farm, zurvan, sophia and nidhogg left
how many should I roll with?
But i always have max ether just in case
Also, use lucid dream on cooldown when possible
some people say use lucid dream during thin air when used on low mana
if you're at 7k mana and you have lucid dream, use lucid dream
is presence of mind and fluid aura neccessary
Fluid is useless
presence of mind is free damage
Presence of mind absolutely
Fluid, no, presence very yes
Presencd good
as for Lucid+Thin Air, using both at once is generally overkill unless you need to do a lot of AoE healing at the same time
I generally pop my first Lucid when I hit 6-7k MP and then keep it on cooldown past that
With Thin Air saved for more MP-intensive healing if needed
generally if you can line an aero/dia cast, during the cooldown you should pop lucid dream if you have it up
Assize and lucid on cooldosn is usually enough for me
so holy, assize, lucid, afflatus solace, presence used off cd when constant regen on tank and maybe medica2 and divine bension
Thin Air is basically WHM equivalent of Inner Release
you don't really need constant regen on tank
Divine venison on cd is free so go for it
MT, probably yes, depending on the content difficulty
holy isn't a cooldown
Holy is AOE attack
Holy is on the gcd
afflatus should be treated as free Cure II or free Medica
use them in place of those
Oh you also have tetragrammaton
Afflatus isn't as potent as Cure III iirc
Tetra is another oGCD heal
cure 3 is trap?
most parties aren't close enough for cure III to be worth it
Cure III requires organization to use effectively.
Cure III is good for healing a lot in tight spaces
since it has a smaller radius
medica II usually better
ahhh, ok, thanks i thought cure 3 was the bread and butter spam
Stack markers and cure 3
^ that
then would the cure 1 and cure 2 be used
If you do your job right, you barely use either tbh
ok, deleting it from hotbar
ehh, I'd wait until you get more of the MP tools like Thin Air and Assize to stop using Cure 1
unfortuntately, you can't
We don't mean that either
where do I buy gyshal greens?
the vendors with the racial starting gear sell them
@unreal badge check on Garlandtools
oh
the closest one to an aetheryte is Bango Zango in Limsa Lominsa
on what
It is a website
Bango Zango near the Limsa main crystal is my main go to for Gysahl
Very useful to search for things
also is it possible to mark dummy locations, it is so tiresome to find it everytime with coordinates on the internet
Just remember Summerford Farm
Only one you will need
The level on the dummy doesn't matter as long as it's at or below yours, and Summer dummies are level 1
You can miss if the dummy level is higher than you
Which isn't useful if you are trying to practice

Oh yea, when do i use esuna, also do i use f keys or press on party list to choose who to heal
you can esuna debuffs with a white horizontal line above the debuff icon
and for targeting heals whatever's more comfortable
and i'd imagine pressing anything beyond f4 is pretty uncomfortable
does rescue ever come in hand or only rare moments
Rescue is a bit of a 50/50. It's an extremely useful skill since someone will always be out of position. But everyone hates having it be used on them
most of the time you're just using it to kill someone though
issue is latency and the delay between cast and effect
so sometimes you see someone out of position, you use rescue, they get to safety, your rescue goes off and pulls them into aoe, they're dead
can I mail items between my characters?
technically, no.
You can only mail to people on your friend's list, and they have to be online for you to send them a request
that's dumb
I don't know if it still works, but there's a roundabout method of adding alts to your friends list If you can somehow lag yourself hard enough for the game to let you log on both of them on separate clients
Free Company Chests
If you're in an FC, you can also just use the Company Chest
You can make an FC and have someone invite your alt to it
no one online T_T

When i finish the main ARR MSQ should i do the 2.1-2.5 msq ? (Seventh astral era quests) or can i go directly to heavensward when im done with the main lvl 1-50 msq ?
Take into consideration i really dislike the msq, at least ARR's and wanna change the peace asap
You need to do those patch quests to go into HW
are you kidding me T.T
The first roughly half of them is a lot of world building and a bit slower, then the pace picks up considerably when the second half starts setting up for HW
@rare jetty between expansions are epilogue and prologue for each expansion
Once you finish HW, you would need to do 3.1-3.5 for the epilogue for HW and prologue for Stormblood
ARR epilogue is notorious for being tedious, I would suggest putting jobs or classes on dungeon/roulette queue, then do the MSQ as filler
how do i defeat this guy ???
Pretty sure that's the quest where you need to find and disable the generators
How do you get the banner from this year's event?
vendor near the quest start location
@rare jetty be sure to read NPC dialogue during those because they do say what to do
Can you only receive adventurer in need reward once a day?
Or is it rewarded for as long as the adventurer in need poster(?) is up?
adventurer in need has no limit, you just need to be the listed role
Cool! Free money! Thanks!

Does ward and plot location matter for how big a house gets or are all plots the same size assuming it's under the classification i.e all small's are the same size
The last bit
Correct. All plot sizes under the same classification are the same size. All smalls are the same size as other smalls, etc.
Not all plots are the same price though. Some small plots will be more or less expensive than other smalls, depending on the plots location.
im trying to figure out how to play my scholar again since it seems like a lot of skills have changed. Is there an upgrade to bio II? I see one at level 26 and 72 and nothing inbetween
That's correct, Biolysis is the upgrade of Bio II
do the skills scale with my level? im 70 but it says potency 40
the potency won't change
It'll deal more damage as your Mind stat goes up though
Potency is just how you can compare its damage to your other spells
is it possible to transfer data centers or no
and if so, do you take your stuff with you
yes you can transfer across datacenters with the home world transfer service on the mogstation
This link has all the specifics https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/world_transfer_service/
to get expert roulette unlocked, you have to play the new dungeon you just unlocked or is it enough when it promts "NOW ACCESSABLE" ?
you need to complete the dungeons first to do the roulette, unless they changed it
ah damn. i really dont wanna do that
Why not? Expert roulette is a very easy source of daily Allegory
Well the current expert roulette dungeons are purely from the msq
i thought you needed every dungeon to unlock it
Expert Roulette is The Grand Cosmos and Anamnesis Anyder.

Level 80 roulette is Amaurot, The Twinning, and Akadaemia Anyder.
so expert roulette isnt all the dungeons in one playlist?
No. it's the most current endgame dungeons
Expert is the latest 2-3 level cap dungeons
It’s only gonna be 2 dungeons now
Mentor Roulette is basically the "almost every single duty in one roulette" roulette
besides Coil and Savage
alright
so for mentor you need to actually complete the dungeon not just get the prompt that its available to play
in order to unlock that roulette
yes
dang
And it requires completing all content that isn't coil, Savage, or current-expansion extreme primals.
this game man lol
I mean, Mentor roulette is quite literally the "Help this group learn how to clear the duty"
it wouldn't make sense if you could selectively only get the easier duties to avoid the hard stuff, even if they may be very hard to do with random people that are a bunch of newbies to the duty
thats not the problem for me (i dont think helping people learn is bad either) its just that just unlocking the dungeon isnt enough, you actually have to complete it for it to count
Gotta prove you know it
well, you can just unsync all savage content
true
oh wait, he said it does not require savage, coil or latest extreme primals
so, thats not bad then
Slightly awkward if the person whose "job" it is to know has never done it before
Hey iv just started playing and would like to play healer, any tips on leveling I seem to just be spamming aero and stone, will I get anything more or is that gonna be it?
You'll eventually get Assize and Holy, but those are the only other damage dealing skills and are AoEs
Holy isn't particularly great as it's designed mostly just to stun and Assize has a CD

There is Afflatus Misery actually too, woops; does a lot of damage but only can be used once your job gauge is full
Right I assume the gauge thing is a passive that ill earn later on during the leveling
You get it at level 30 once you switch to White Mage yeah
Afflatus Misery is level 74 though, so until you get that it only serves for more powerful healing spells
ahh well thats a little while away so I wont need to worry about that in the short term
Afflatus Misery is a little more complicated than just "filling the job gauge".
It's a secondary gauge charge. The base gauge is you earn one lily for every 30s in combat (up to a cap of 3) which can be used to cast either Afflatus Solace or Afflatus Rapture.
Each spell consumes one lily.
After level 74 casting these spells will also add one charge to your Blood Lily, capping at 3 charges.
Once your Blood Lily has been fully charged, you will be able to cast Afflatus Misery.
Gauge is unlocked at 52 iirc for whm
And that uses up all the lilys?
But your powerful heals use the blood lilys? So you normally wouldnt waste them on the Afflatus Misery I assume?
No
No, they use your normal lilys
Your lily heals use a different lily
And using lily heals generates a blood lily
You need to use 3 lily heals before you can use misery
There's 2 types of lilies
it's something that's a ways off and you get pretty eased into
when you gain access to your lily gauge in general it's purely for afflatus solace, a single target GCD heal that uses one lily charge to execute. You get a lily ever 30s while in combat, passively. Later on you get an AoE GCD heal, afflatus rapture, which also costs one of these lilies
eventually when you get higher level and have access to afflatus misery, this is a separate thing. Every time you use solace or rapture, it "nourishes the blood lily" and you can see it start to grow on the gauge, separate to your other lilies. When you've used 3 of solace/rapture, the blood lily is fully bloomed, and you can use afflatus misery, a strong AoE GCD spell
but yeah, just take it a step at a time as you level, if it doesn't sink in now that's fine, you'll get used to it readily as you level and get the new stuff
So I've been trying to get through PotD with my Ninja for a while to unlock HoH, but I'm stuck in PotD floor 41-50. I tried queuing yesterday but I didn't get matched and I gave up on waiting after two hours. After that I even tried to use the party finder to create a PotD 1-50 run but no one was joining that either so I gave up on that too after about an hour. Today I've been in the queue again for about 30 minutes, but still no result. Am I just unlucky or is this the reality of trying to reach PotD 50+? 
Holy isn't particularly great as it's designed mostly just to stun and Assize has a CD
Until 72, when you get Glare, Holy is worth using when there are 2 enemies
2 or more enemies and Holy is an increase in damage to using Stone 4. Turns out it's the same damage at exactly 2 enemies, but yeah, it brings the stun
@sinful phoenix I'd try it again in the weekend when more people will be on
Or put up a party finder to see if there are people at the same floor as you
Once you clear floor 50 you're able to start at 51 so most people do that
Alright, ty for the advise 
why do prices for crafted weapons fluctuate so high on the market board?
im a total newb to crafting
but for example the new RDM one fluctuates from 500k to 250k back and fourth
People undercutting followed by people buying the seriously undercut prices to then resell them at the current normal price
i mean i looked at the prices on the market board for the mats, and was nowhere near 500k
like at all
Actually crafting the items does take a bit more effort than just getting the mats for the neo-ishgardian stuff too
welcome to market board, you must be new, and yes, that's why you have crafter friend so you can buy the mats and ask them to make it for you
Also depends on crafter gear. If they can do it foodless, they would probably help.
ive just reached end game, so i might start dabbling in some crafting and levelling up other jobs
But if they need food/syrup. Thats another cost there.

what, so like a food buff but for crafting proficiency?
Bit of a strange question, I currently came back to the game from a long hiatus, I am currently on the quest "A Dream Fulfilled" which requires me to have the Hyperconductive Ukonvasara equipped and to talk to the NPC to upgrade it...the problem is I no longer have the weapon. I used the / command to try and locate it but its simply gone, is there any way to get it back, or do I really need to start all the way from the beginning of the quest?
@patent cave yup.
interesting
ty
i believe there are vendors that sell quest items in capital cities @last yacht
Are you talking about the calamity salvager? As far as I can see he does not allow me to repurchase the hyperconductive weapon
Check with one of the Allagan nodes near Ardashir in Asyz Lla, I'm not sure when they allow you to purchase the old weapons, though
You're certain you did an /isearch with proper capitalization, though?
I'd recommend searching for the item with just part of the name, as well, instead of searching for the entire name of the item
since it's easy to just have a small misspelling or something in the full string where it won't find it, whereas if you do /isearch conduct
it'll find it just the same
Yeah, the highest stage weapon Im allowed to purchase is the Replica Ukonvasara, so I bought that and tested the /isearch and it worked but only showed that. I think Im fucked
What’s up my dudes? Fresh to FFXIV
any tips while I start? Was hoping to build dps
if i queue for msq roulette before the reset, do i get the reward and then be able to do it again for another reward
excellent
roulettes matter on time of completion, not time of queue
It counts when it ends.
so if you queue before and clear after, it counts for the new reset, not the old one
you'd have to clear before reset to have it count before reset
@kindred hound pick the class that is the coolest for you and just start. I got a wall of text for you if you prefer that too.
When do daily duties/roulettes reset?
in 20 minutes
I’ve read up on the classes and everything but as of now they got rid of cross class skills? Or? @whole wasp
Yes. Cross class is gone.
You gotta reach 50 with any other class to unlock samurai.
Ya I saw that!
Tank your way to lvl 50
But samurai starts at level 50
Discord making me double post... 
I used to play wow and I was always tank or asked to play tank, left a bad taste in my mouth lol
Tank, and especially gladiator, is pretty brain dead. So you should be good to play for up to 50
just a heads up on samurai
you also need to have stormblood registered to your account to unlock it
Might as well buy the expansions
Ya I was gonna ask something to that affect
I wa gonna buy the full pack but figured I’d just get the starter edition to try it out
Is pretty much every expansion worth it? Can you pick and choose or is it get them all or get none
Shadowbringers includes everything else
50 is the max level for the starter edition, so even if you could unlock SAM in it, you wouldn't be able to do much with it
Some casual content, but that's really it
Yah
Yes, only buy Shadowbringers
The whole pack is 80$ for all expansions lmao
If you own the base game
I did the same thing as you lol
Complete edition is base game plus Shadowbringers, which comes with Heavensward and Stormblood
Shadowbringers is not the base game, but it comes with Heavensward and Stormblood
The potd or hoh one
Ah I get it now
Should have an Alex ultimate weap too
Is the black knight a new class or?
You mean Dark Knight?
My friend mentioned it
Dark Knight is from Heavensward
Yeah lol
^ first expansion
It's just dark knight is the poster boy for this expansion
Ya guys Monty python secret dlc
They do have a ability called "Blackest Night" however
He’s a tank?
Yep
Man they do look nice
They do
But I want the glory
Dark Knight and Paladin get a lot of cool armour armour outfits
You have a long way before unlocking it though
Ya and quite a few jobs lol
DRG is the most heavily armored looking non-tank i think.
Easy hands down Smug
I bought it on ps4, ended up deciding I’m gonna use m and keyboard
Dragoon was going to be my choice since it was my fave class from previous games
But, samurai
Marauder has my interest too
Dragoon is lower DPS but have some of the best party buffs in game
The former dps tank
Still got the jumpy jumps
!faq meta
I like how dragoon looks but it is too slow
Gotta be a fast boi
Can you do italics and bold in mobile discord? I can’t remember lol
- is italics
One for italics and two for bold
It worked here

Could someone tell me what materia i should put in my neo ishguard set for Monk
monk and sam are lower speed builds so crit > direct > det is the rule of thumb
rule of thumb being key term
8's are the only real option, overmelded and otherwise
I am just now returning to game after about 5-6 years, how is SMN to start off as?
SMN has a lot of button bloat. But if you can snag your rotations offline you should be good as gold with it
it's ok but has a steeper learning curve than other casters
So what would be a good starter/relearning class?
Honestly it depends on your playstyle.
Any class is viable if you learn your rotation.
But do you prefer casters or are you open to other things?
I have played WoW, Blade and Soul and MANY other MMORPHS, so at least a wee bit skilled, but i usually prefer ranged
But I also like pet classes
Yeah the play style is different from most of the MMOs, but pet based would only leave you with SMN and SCH
Whats easier Scholor or SMN?
they are different roles (healer versus dps)
Archer/Bard is also a decent starter. Has a lot of DoTs to manage at higher levels but it's relatively easy for learning.
SCH is one of the harder healers to master.
WHM being the easiest and AST being in the middle.
Hmm, still like the idea behind SMN, lol, even though it maybe rougher, and if i rem a char can play any class over thier career, so if i mess up............lol
Yeah you can play with all of the classes on a single character, just some are gated behind expansions.
If you are good with rotations, you'd be fine with SMN, just remember DPS queues for instanced areas will be longer than healer or tank.
I think i actually stopped before first xpac was released, lol, so have alot of catching up to do
Yeah if you only own the base game you won't have access to DRK, AST, MCH, SAM, RDM, DNC and GNB
All of the other classes will be available to you.
I purchaed full inc Shadowlands etc
Shadowbringers.
Was more expensive than i thought though, billing claimed $67 with tax, but i got billed 90 something to my card

Once you get to the main city in Heavensward you can unlock MCH, AST and DRK. The rest you can access at any time because they start in one of the three original city states
They have the expacs.
But yeah I would double check with your receipt to see if you also got like a timecard or smoething
It should not have been $90 for the complete edition.
Unless you did a collectors edition or something.
Receipt says 67.79
what would be considered the fastest way of leveling an alt? beside buying boost
or is there a charge for the cellphone game token?
The only thing i can think of is receipt is US dollars and my currency is Canadian
There is a like code generator token
but it's a physical item.
67.79 USD?
That would be accurate with tax I believe.
is the $90 CAD?
My bill to card was roughly $93
Yes but was the USD or CAD
lol, would be nice if receipt would tell me
I know the conversion rates are crap. So it's probably CAD
Which would be accurate. I believe. You can just use a USD/CAD conversion on google to figure that out.
I don't know the rate off the top of my head because I'm in the states.
Andrei what are you trying to level?
What are the prerequisites to become an astrologian?
Can I just use a story booster and start playing as it
If it's a DPS, you can use Palace of the Dead (But actually go back and learn your rotation for when you use those skills for the higher levels)
If it's a healer or tank I'd recommend spamming the highest level dungeon you can for quick queues.
i mean you can but 2 cents you doing yourself a disservice if you skip the story imo
but your money so upto you ofc
You need to reach the city of || Ishgard ||
I can't remember if you also need at least a level 50.
So skip to heavensward?
for beginning quests to unlock yes. after that they go to 30
I got a 57 dk
There adding new story + aren’t they
If so I can just come back after maxing out my astrologian
entirely upto you
we cant tell you how to spend your money
only provide the info
you mean DRK?
ng+ is already in but replaying ARR is delayed until 5.3 because of changes to arr itself (less trash quests)
that one
Personally I'd recommend just spamming the highest level dungeon, and doing your daily roulettes/
Tanks have fast queues, so you won't be sitting around waiting for a queue to pop.
Then yes, POTD will be the fastest way spamming floors 51-60
Because queues are longer for DPS.
I don't find drk that fun anymore
Make sure to also queue in for your daily roulettes.
I guess I’ll just start at lvl 1 and get to astrologian then
Thanks
might just rush to 60 and get gunbreaker
I’m still debating what job I’m gonna play
Try them all out.
It's a luxury we have in FFXIV
Won't know until you play them.
How’s the housing/decorating compared to ffxi or in general ? Can u build a house on your own? How expensive is it and how creative can you get if your in FC house ?
Hmm.. So, I gonna unlock all jobs and etc, but now I think, which one next: gunslinger or DK? Which one is more fun to play
@leaden ginkgo glitching can take you very far. You can google ffxiv designer house to get an idea
Is glitching cheating ?
Gunslinger as in gunbreaker?
And it can be very cheap or insanely expensive depends on how/where you get the funitures
yeah Florise
Eh, 99% of pretty house owner glitch
i think he mean machinist
SE kinda try to stop it, but it doesnt work
Lol
As long as you dont glitch outside into the void ur good
I think that dk is more fun to play but thats personal preference
Yeah drk questline ROCKS
I have lvl 80 drk despite cannot tank to save my (party's) life just for the story
I think gunbreaker has more ogcds and have the potential to give a heart attack to your healer
Because of superbolide
/superbolide off
I've had more problems playing gnb with current content than the other tanks (not just from managing cooldowns/ogcd's)
the same attacks seem to hurt more (assuming tb cd + regular one)
Hi,
If i do a world transfer, How do i check the world I'm going to if it's full or not? Because I think the list of world in World Transfer option includes everything even though some worlds are full, or am I just missing something..
How rare are gold trimmed sacks on potd 151 - 200
Hey guys, I’m a returning level 80 player. The last thing I did was beat shadow bringer MSQ. Can anyone help me figure out what I should be doing next? I need better gear before I can do the twinning. Do I go try to find the Nier raids?
If a world is full you won't be able to transfer there. Most worlds are standard or congested though.
The NieR raid item drop has been lifted and those are I believe ilevel 460.
WHOA!
So that would be a good place to go.
so can i transfer in congested?
that’s the same as the crap I have to save my bad tome stones for
Yes you can Pine
It just means it will probably have queues to get in, and chances for housing will be lower.
K, but I’m a tank...so if I’m a tank in level 80 AF gear can I even hope to do the first nier raid?
The gear from ShB Gerolt?
Yeah
Yeah I think that's like what i430?
克拉麗莎小姐: gold sacks usually have nice glam (although they are pretty easy to craft these days) but the rare drop is the night pegesus (mount). most of the difficulty is getting to floor 150+ and then risking it for sacks
Yeah I think my alt only had the AF gear and I was able to queue in. Depending on if you do raids as well. Gearing up to access the eden raids would be a good idea too.
The first tier of Eden 1-4 is also unlocked
Anyone know what Datacenter/server would have closest time to mine? Curr 12:08PM
and that gives tokens to turn in for i450 too
You'd be looking for an NA data center
Eastern time btw
Aether, Primal or Crystal.
I know i tried Midgard, there was a 5hr differnece
Nah, i checked local vs server time
Server time has nothing to do with regions.
Oh, ok, lol, wasn't sure
If you play around mid-day you'd be looking for either NA or EU data centers.
But you'll have higher ping going to Chaos or Light.
NA Data Centers are most populated in the evenings.
But there are still people who play at all times.

I mean ST doesn't really do anything.
ET is important for nodes and timed stuff.
But LT and ET are all I ever use.
ST is just GMT
Oh man, just watched a video on that first Nier raid. SOOOO many mechanics lol. Gonna take a try or 2 to keep it all straight in my head, but thankfully a lot of it is kind of “common sense” if you have been playing FF14 long enough to be at this point.
I haven’t set up the game or anything yet - are there any like perks or free sign up things I can get before logging on the first time ?
I just unlocked the Ixali quests, but its not letting accept them. Says they aren't available yet. Do I have to do something else?
@leaden ginkgo the best thing I can think of is getting a refer a friend code off someone (that'll give you feathers to turn in for items or equipment)
NVM I figured it out lol
I know this may sound that I'm just too lazy to read, but what exact stuff will be transferred if i do a world transfer from another data center?
I don't own a house in my current one,
Everything but house / fc room / apartment I think? You keep items and gils
Yeey, Thanks for the clarification, there's just too much words in the mogstation that my head is gonna expload.
It's all for the most part pretty easy John. If you need some friendly faces to run it with feel free to give me a holler. I'll be home around 4:30-5 Eastern and happy to run through the content with you.
hello i am new there is problem sastasha
Long queue?
What class are you playing?
Yeah, they tend to have longer queues since there are so many
You will get in, it's just a question of time
All you can do is start the queue and browse memes
That's not normal
Or test out other functions of the game, like leveling different classes
No, 30 minutes sounds like outside of prime time
Ye, should be around 1 PM to 10 AM
That's not a bad time exactly
@whole leaf can you go to the duty finder and see what language is highlighted near the top?
Huh
Then yeah I guess you're being unlucky
I still believe in the idea that 30 minutes is unusually long
10-15 mins prime time, maybe 20 a bit off prime time
But yeah just do what Platt said since there isn't much to do about it
The only other thing I can suggest is see if your FC has someone who heals or tanks and can help with the queue time.
@whole leaf
What you can also do is go to the duty finder options and enable all 4 language settings, that tends to get you faster queues.
ok
YMMV on that. It depends on the language mix for your server.
I'm not sure how truthful this is, but when I asked, I was told not to do that because queueing in all four languages might match you with someone who only has a rare language for your region selected, which then would make queue way slower
No? There are only four language settings - JEDF. The more languages you have checked, the broader the pool of people you can potentially be matched with is.
Which world on aether DC is it easier to find housing in
But it crosses that with your position in your role queue as well.
It would only be a detriment if you were the one with a rare language as your only selection. Most people will, at the very least, also check off English in addition to their base language though.
take it up with this channel circa last year ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Lemme just get in my time machine...
Most of our worlds are standard/congested on Aether.
So it's relatively even right now. I'd avoid Gilgamesh if you want housing
Sarg almost never has housing either except for PF sales for an exorbitant price
Anyone know a hunt discord ? (i'm on lich)

I think Cactuar has some housing, but not a ton. I haven't looked recently though.
Can I use New game+ to play heavensward with my friend who's a new player and just started Heavensward?
Hey guys, quick question. If i already have the 480 crafted fending set, would it be worth it to update to the new eden verse 480 gear, or should i am for the cristarium gear and just use the tokens for another class?
@rancid vector https://discord.gg/S8fKQvh
That's kind of personal choice. On one hand, stats are a thing if you're min-maxing, so you'll want to take a look at those.
Also there's the glamour to consider.
There are specific stats that are necessary between using both the Eden gear and the Crystarium gear.
The balance discord should have your BiS
If you don't care about stats or glamour though, then it doesn't really matter which one you use. Just go with whatever you like the best.
@silent harbor can i get an invite to the balance disc?
!faq balance
thanks guys!
what's the best thing to do to old poetic sets(will never be used again due to level cap)
If you like the appearances, you can toss them into your glamour dresser. Otherwise, trade them for GC seals.
where is this shield from? my retainer brought it to me through quick exploration.
Easier to look up the name on gamerescape
do you have to buy shadowbringers 2 times if you want it on both ps4 and steam?
Yes
ah man that's weak ty for the answer
@cedar saddle You can but I'm not sure what value there is with just doing quest objectives with them with you doing them as well and not just following
when was the last time they reruned the ff11 event?
A couple of years ago, I think?
yikes
Crossover events are not a guaranteed occurrence. And the chances of them rerunning are typically pretty low.
Which makes me sad because I have alts that I created after the FFXV event last year.
Every one of my characters requires a nice car.
Though they DID confirm that they were going to redo the youkai watch event some time
hey guys im stumped rn, im trying to do ananta beast tribe quests and i've done my first 3 but now idk where to go for the next 3
What do you mean?
You can only do 3 quests per beast tribe per day
You only get 3 per day unless you rank up where you can do another 3 that day
UNLESS IF AND ONLY IF
You rank up
Then you usually get then from the same person
Or someone in the same area
(For ARR ones)
And if you rank up, a
will appear somewhere nearby.
Which you'll need to complete before the next set of quests will appear.
aw man i really wanted the nails today

talk to the npc near the hell's lid entrance in ruby sea
someone know the best way to leveling the crafter?
you can be in a party while doing most of the main scenario quests, but there's a few that require you to be solo
namely the ones that require you to do solo instances
Suppliment with grand company turn ins
And moogle / namazu quests if tired
Leve quests if rich and have a lot of leves
Or just make the items for the leve quests
Also the Ixali are the low level crafted beast tribe
why does my character keep doing the chocobo summon in g-pose when I'm just standing still?
I haven't even used the summon when trying to set it up
gpose repeats the last action you have done before activating it
You can do /sit before you enter GPose to reset it so you don't do any actions during it
that fixed it, thx
How’s the general success rate of the copied factory for you guys? I’m gonna be trying it for the first time tonight, and I’m studying the mechanics. I’m a little concerned about how a DF group is going to handle it.
its a 24man so shouldn't really have that much trouble clearing it
Awesome. That was my hope
I heard that some of the ivalice raids went really badly, and I’ve only done like the first one and couldn’t manage to clear the second with a group. I was a little paranoid this might be like that.
that's pretty much only at release
Cool

is the game likely to go on sale again?
We don't know
There aren't really any big sale "holidays" until the summer
That I can think of at least
Maybe Spring sale on Steam
ahh it's just enix had a massive sale and ff14 was the only game not included
i capped out at 50 and it turns out I have an addiction
if i retire my chocobro from racing do i get his pedigree paper back?
or do the casino keeps it
If i decide to change my grand company
I will have to do the hunting log and the trials all over again?
1 time per gc
to rank up, yeah
i retired my chocobo from racing and the npc didnt give me the retired chocobo registration wtf
i got scammed
wheres my chocobro 😡
what level did you retire
43
or smt
he was pedigree 6
[2:24 p.m.]Adder is now property of the Manderville Gold Saucer.
😡
double check by doing /isearch retired
its only finding up to my retired chocobro of pedigree 5
the one I just retired is nowhere to be seen
huh...
actually....from that text it sounds like it wasn't rank 40 then
yes you can
but you get nothing from doing so
i s2g i saw 43
becoming property of the gold saucer means it wasn't
Are you certain you weren't looking at the rating?
idno bro
im dumb
w/e ima make a new one, does it take forever to get a pedigree 9 chocobro? i just want the mask atm
hm, not forever
still a decent time sink but its a lot better than before
might take a few days depending on how much you're willing to buckle down and race
np
How many days does it take to get the porkie mount in Il Mheg?
Doing all the reputation daily quests
should be about 2 and half weeks or so
Hey! Not really sure where to post that since it's kinda weird but!
Looking for people on potd floor 71-80 till 100
What determines the chances of a potential overmeld? Is it just the amount of materia already melded or does the level of materia also factor into it?
Both
the level of materia plus the slot
so 5th slot is going to be the lowest chance, always
Like 7% with a grade 7
its between 16% (grade 1) and 5%(grade 7)
I don't suppose there's a resource with the exact percentages? I'm not sadistic enough to go for a full overmeld but I'd like to know my chances
click on the materia section, it'll bring up the melding window

percentages will be off to the right
just don't be like me when overmelding and forget you can overmeld a grade 8 in the first additional slot
then get to the last one and notice you fucked up big time and waste a bunch of time and money!!!
Yeah I'll probably get into the serious overmelding once the new crafter/gatherer gear comes out, but for now it's not worth it to me.
Nice, I can get to exactly 800 gp with some easy melds
Word of caution, if you plan to craft the new gear that comes out in 5.3 you're going to need some reasonable stats which may require overmelding to achieve in the first place
Buying the off the MB is an option as well, but day 1 pricing will most likely be very high
I'll figure it out when we get there.
Hopefully we'll end up getting a better way to get crafter materia.
🤷 they've already been pretty generous with the new extraction system
back in my day making materia meant destroying the gear in the process!
back in my day
Question to monks.
What's used more often (what gets to max charges more often usually) the forbidden chakra or tornado kick?
failing to overmeld meant destroying the gear
forbidden chakra is used constantly
That's true, I stockpiled an okay amount from all the crafting I had to do to make the facet gear
tornado kick is very situational
Thought so, tornado kick needs 3 full rotations
wait, tornado kick is not used when on max lightning then?
nod nods
whereas there is literally no penalty for using Forbidden
I was trying to figure out my hotbars and such
and I'm not reaaally sure where to put them both
but I think forbidden will go on a quick use key
while tornado kick just sits on a ctrl key or smth
probably wise
meditation is not used unless out of combat
or high waiting times for mechanics and such where you dont' hit
right?
yes
Does this mean i need t beat all the floors of POTD?
oh well, i guess tornado kick is used on perfect balance too
how do you get gear with additional materia slots like this?
Crafted gear has "invisible" slots in it and crafters can force materia in. If you don't have crafters levelled you can always use Request meld on someone who does (ask first tho)
Its RNG if it goes in
And failure destroys the materia
but overmelding can be a bit of a pain since it's all rng
(unless you use lower grade materia but ots a waste not to use 7s and 8s)
Hello! Please tell me, now Cerberus has a buff on experience. Having reached level 30, I received 15 days of subscription as a gift, and when will I get 1kk gil? I read somewhere that, along with a gift subscription, they also give out gils. Thx♥
the gil is only for new worlds, and there currently aren't any
and double exp, yeah
And how long does this buff last and can I track how much longer it will last?
Until you hit level 70
This is a dumb question but... how do you fish in The Clutch? It's a fishing hole on the far east side of Central Thanalan that no matter where I stand at the water's edge, the Cast button never becomes available to hit.
no @hybrid hamlet
it's active for all jobs under 70 as long as the server is preferred, or for 90 days @zinc inlet
@crystal cradle It's a known issue mentioned in the 5.2 patch notes
oh, must've missed that. Thank you
@green grail Thx 
is samurai maiming or striking gear?
what level can you start farming the genji set?
70 but it's probably not easy to farm as it's from a high difficulty raid from last expansion, so there's kinda no reason to do it other than glamour (which most people aren't really fond of for the tier) and requires a bunch of people and basic knowlege of pretty convoluted mechanics
Is there a way to delete/discard the Promise Wristlets?
