Hey! Any idea of how to unlock frontline roulette? I been trying to discover how, but internet is not being super useful
Hi new-ish player here! How long would it take me to level from 1-80 as a dancer? I already have an 80 summoner.

@undone panther dancer starts at 60
Based on which GC you are these are all the unlock points
Correct
google 
I mean
"unlock frontlines ffxiv"
didn't get to that
"How do you unlock Duty Roulette: Frontline? Do the quest from the Grand Company Flier, or something like that. It will be available at level 50, from one of the guys hanging out in your GC area."
that's the beautiful answer google gives
i mean, you should do all
in general and the frontlines was one of them
that iiiis correct
but there are unlock guides in the wikis
Tho I been trying to rush to shadowbringers to get to the point where my friends are
so I been skipping most blue quests sadly
rip. you will have to catch up a ton of quests later on then because there is really a lot of content locked behind those sidequests
I found it here https://ffxivpvp.tumblr.com/post/108439284782/unlock-frontlines-and-borderland-ruins-slaughter
how does it work when you want to start building your house? do you have to craft everything of the exterior or do you get a base house after paying some additional sum?
you need to buy a liscence or whatever for 400k i think? for smalls at least, most likely more for mediums and large
The price of the house depends on its size
and what about the actual building part? my retainers have brought me wall parts and such.
how much should at minimum have to save up before deciding on a purchase
depends on the plot price because it gets reduced after some time
but probably around 4 mil for a small house
is there any sites that shows things like, how large each size actully is, what housing items there are and such?
thanks 🙂
I use this one
You can also preview furniture in game through Housing > Preview furnishings
did they change the refer-a-friend so that my friend would have to subscribe to get RaF bonuses? 🤔
that has always been the case
once they pay for their first sub/gametime the rewards will be sent
Really? I remember I had been recruited after I subscribed, but it says you have to be subscribed the same time you use the code. And initially a code could be used before subscribed. But perhaps I was misinformed
the code can be used before you subscribe yes
but it can no longer be used once you paid for a sub
that's what I was asking. I was hoping to get my friend the friendship circlet.
So I already hit 50 at MSQ lvl 36 due to the Road to 70 buff, since I don't have the expansions yet, should I use the exp to level other jobs or is it negligible in the grand scheme of things?
once you complete ARR, the patch story quests dont reward xp
right up til heavensward starts
so it's pretty negligible
they do..? 2.1-2.55 msq give like 2 levels worth of exp, so probably 4 levels with road to 70
but 36-50 definitely give a lot

so if you have a job anywhere near 36 you should defo consider catching up on that and doing msq on it
yeah that's what i was gonna suggest anyway
would u recommend lvling a new job to 36 just to capitalize on the exp? or is that a waste of time?
It's not crazy but I'd unlock one of the level 50 jobs Red Mage or Samurai
Since they'd already be high enough level you aren't having to grind
and they can soak up some xp pretty well
everything points to buying the expansions, so i'll just do that
best way spwap between pve and pvp set? Saw macoring but i am to dull to make my own script
As in gear? You don’t need a macro for that, just use a gear set
I'm not sure why you would have that but if you make two gearsets one for each you can just do /gs change (Number)
And even then, gear is cosmetic in PVP now
Theres no way to make one gear set look different for each job on swap right? I would have to reaply glam?
You can link glamour plates to gear sets
How do I do that?
no no i mean the skill set. It changes right?
well will try the teleport
Your hotbars and stuff automatically changes when you're in a pvp zone to whatever it was last
can i adjust the skill then to the right hotbars?
Yes from the wolves den
As soon as you teleport there your hot bars all automatically switch to pvp
ah ty thats it
Hello, i'm new lv80 and i have some doubts about gear progression, right now i'm using the artifact gear (ilv430), is it a good idea replace it with neo-ishgardian gear then go for deep shadow gear?
Depends on how much you want to grind/spend to skip grind
Buying HQ Neo-Ishgardian gear is the quick way (also better than deepshadow FYI)
Otherwise you could grind out some raids and the main story patch dungeons for better gear so you can do the more recent 8-man stuff for the current gear
That and spending tomestones of allegory for the current tomestone gear
So, after neo-ishgardian gear should aim for crystarium gear? i don't think i will do extreme stuff for the moment
Yeah the best thing after Ishgardian gear is the crystarium gear and the savage difficulty raid stuff
Furthermore, in 5.3, you can upgrade Ishgardian
You can use Deepshadow to fill up missing spots for the time being, but don't commit to them
Reminder that you should absolutely buy the high quality versions of Ishgardian gear since that has the stats expected from the ilvl of what it is. NQ is really really shit
alright, ty for the answers
Will just piggyback off another answer here and say that every patch MSQ quest except post-ShB give exp. About 1-2 levels worth
you still end up underleveled at the end of each expansion regardless
as new player, should i plan my gear progress to lvl 80? some advice? (now lvl 54 with quest gear)
Just take what youre given with quests
When you hit lvl 50, 60, and 70 msq
Use your poetics to buy Ironworks, Shire and Scaeven gear
!faq poetics
i dont lvl more if my gs stays low?
i see i should just yolo it and dont mind.
Do you unlock dung through the main missions?
Some yes
I just need the lv 15 one for now since I'm new
Other dungeons are unlocked via blue side quests
The lvl 15 is from msq
All things are either unlocked from
(main story) or 
Lvl 15 msq
The first 3 are from main story
Msq?
Main story
Lol 
what is it i am doing wrong here? made 12 copper rings and yet nothing updates in the quest.
Copper rings is a different thing
Anyone know what macro is the most important for sorting inventory and arsenal?
!item copper rings
I just use the right-click sort for my inventory/armoury. 🤷♂️
I don't even know there are macros for sorting
I added inventory and armoury sorting to my gearset macros, since swapping jobs all the time really screws it up and having to constantly right click > sort can get tedious.
what dungeon inside quest give?
I don't understand the question
under dungeon there is some "mini missions" to do that is not require to end
colect x stuff
The duty list on the side usually just track your objectives inside and key information, like keys for doors or what you're doing. Only Arr really has excessive information
arr is the basi?c
arr is the basic game?
does dayly roulete expend rest exp faster?
Yeah arr is the base
hey guys so im interested in trying out healing in this game, my WHM is lvl 60. ive been taking more of an interest in support roles in recent games and i have healed in WoW before but it might be different here. WoW was a lot of mouseover macro usage for the most part

@onyx kiln
You need to craft copper rings as stated above by Wyyne.
Copper Ring is another item.
When I use the frame limiter to 60fps my game fluctuates between 48 and 60, mostly on busy places. Is there a fix to this?
I am on borderless windowed
lower your settings
if lowering your settings doesn't solve the problem there's not much to be done about it :/ the game doesn't handle busy places very well either
Clearly it's not about handling busy places but possibly a broken option. I can push 160 or worst case scenario 90 in some specific areas
What does this macro command do? "/hotbar copy ROG 1 current 5"
is there a specific reason to why you're using the limiter in the first place? based on a quick google the limiter does have its problems and no fix avail, so it seems like it's not an option that you should be using in the first place unless it's absolutely necessary to make the game run smoother
wait, i've figured it out
@edgy quiver it copies rogue hotbar 1 to hotbar 5
I can push 160 but it's a waste of power and my PC will run hot
My monitor supports 144 but I only run at that on dungeons, since I don't need it running all day at 100% GPU load
tbh you're better off using a 3rd party frame limiter
have you tried running in fullscreen then?
Apparently fullscreen fixes it 
But then my game will hang for 5 seconds while I switch windows, and uh... That's no bueno...
Well your other options are using a 3rd party frame limiter or not using the frame cap at all 🤷
Does monion give stats?
Some minions are writen stuff like" can disable traps" but i heard they were pure cosmeyics
the stats/abilities are for lord of verminion mini game in the gold saucer
other than that they're purely cosmetic
@leaden ginkgo
The reason is simple, when playing in borderless windowed, the GPU also need to process all other visual data. (Desktop and other open windows.)
In Full Screen it goes to exclusive mode and the GPU stops rendering other visual data and only render the game itself.
That is also the reason why switching apps from fullscreen causes a temporary black screen, the GPU needs to re-render the desktop. (And when switching back ofc.)
@rich bay I know the reason and that is why I play on borderless, I just wish the frame limiter weren't broken 
Maybe use Adaptive sync?
Don't think that helps because you can't use vsync on borderless
I can use Nvidia to cap to 60 but I think it stutters a liiiiittle bit
You can now with an Nvidia GPU they added that in the drivers recently.
potentially new player here, I'd prefer to try this game via steam but the free trial appears to be behind a $20 purchase. What's the difference between that and signing up via https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/na/
That's what I meant yeah 😅
@thorn galleon try hitting the "Download Demo" button 😄
(I mean V-sync in bordered windowed)
@thorn galleon do it through the official site
@leaden ginkgo thanks! didn't see that lil demo link
is there a difference?
@thorn galleon you're welcome 😄
Not much but if you buy one you're locked out of the other...
Minako, Adaptive V-sync has.
Anyway this is #technology-discussion now in my opinion. Need to go anyway.
Like if you buy on Steam you can't buy the standalone expansions
if you do the trial thru steam, you're locked into steam
but if you do the free trial thru SE's site, you can choose to go either steam or thru se/authorized third party sellers
Steam comes with the advantage that you can use your Wallet to pay for your sub though...
is the steam free demo version more limited? also what standalone expansions? i only see Shadowbringers
Shadowbringers comes with everything else
no, the steam trial is exactly the same as SE's trial (barring the fact that it locks you into steam)
Then you either didn't look at the proper page
or you didn't click on the appropriate link
But steam does have a free trial
Steam's trial is the demo 😄
Need to go to the normal page and hit the "Download Demo" button
ok ima stick to steam, easier to manage all my games there
So, if i decide to change from steam to SE standalone, i won't be able to do that?
you would basically have to start all over again
I don't think you'd have to start over, just have to rebuy base+expac...
yes, you would
Same way it works between PC/PS4 I believe...
I'm pretty much paying half of the sub price because of steam
and if you want to move off of steam or move onto steam, you have to start a new service account
so you'd be starting over again
Guess steam is the best option anyways
@twilit arch that doesn't make sense, but because it doesn't make sense I will believe you 🤣
That's... Insane
It sure is
There shouldn't even be that limitation. Or region locks for the matter...
steam takes a cut from the sales, which is why if you start on steam
Thought it was based on moogle account
you are stuck with steam for any and all future expansions
From steam version?
Can keep playing the trial until you decide to upgrade 😅
I did that. Bought the game on the sale and only activated it once I hit the 35 wall
@odd bobcat shields and crafter/gatherer tools
Steam kinda sucks because i had to download the game three times
Even if it was installed
!faq subprice
I saved my Trial folder then replaced the one Steam installed with the Full one...
It worked
Huh, did they bump the entry price?
Wasn't it $10?
Legacy is $9.99
so i downloaded the free trial via steam and going through the setup wizard, and it's asking me for a registration code. Did i miss an option in an earlier step that was free trial specific?
ok that worked
though it did ask me for a one time code on login, which i didn't have, nor seemed to need. ya derpy installer
Everything that is not in-game is broken, that includes the launcher and mogstation 
one time password is only required if you have 2fa set up
line is always there, regardless
well i'm installing the full game now, so "great success". Thanks for the help
One time password that has to be entered every single time 🤣
so my fc asked me with a want him to help me garude unsynched
does he miss type or can you unsych on dungeons?
and how do i whisper to people?
You can unsynch to do anything you want solo or to help people
Right click on their name and select Tell
Or is it just by clicking on their names
specifically you can unsync non-current expansion content
You still queue up thru the duty finder
There's a cogwheel at the top of the window, you select "undersized party" to unsync
@twilit arch you mean all expansions or opnly shadow bringer
just shadowbringers, so you can unsync content from arr to stormblood (with a few exceptions)
I haven't checked the undersized party for high level content so lemme ask something
Can i solo hard/extreme content from arr being lvl 60 with full poetics gear?
on tanks/rdm/smn probably, other jobs might be a bit of a harder time
would be significantly easier as a 70/80 ofc
Also, is it a tendency or it gets harder to solo hw's hard/extreme content with high level equips from stormblood?
What is titan role on summoner kit
Kael, you can unsync ShB content too, but only when you got a pre-made full party for trials or a light party for other dungeons. (Undersized parties are not allowed, not unsynced parties stangely enough, it is the same setting after all.)
no, you cannot
unsync doesn't mean ignoring ilvl
it means making use of the undersized party feature
@odd bobcat self-sustain, the shield helps for soloing stuff
@obsidian patio so useless on raid?
If you don’t need the shield, then yeah
But the shield is great for ultimate progression
Ah, okay.
@obsidian patio why they removed pet tanking?
Because pets were made immortal
is this unique to this NPC? googles + the hat?
no, its the lvl 60 FSH head piece from scrips
Think a main Scenario daily would give me 7mil xp at 79 lol
Main scenario will give like 30m at 79 if it’s praetorium
when is a good time to make a character so i can get into the world i want? i wanna get into midgardsormr so i can do all the content with my friends but ive been refreshing for about an hour now
late night/early morning

Does anyone know how to make the flight movement not go up and down when I look up and down??
is queuing for random dungeons/bosses a good way to level up (1-50) or is it only worth it if it's roulette?
you should queue for the highest level levelling dungeon (so no 50/60/70)
When will we be able to farm savage repeatedly?
whatever is highest available to you will give you most exp for your level
There's any way to search what boss abilities do?
probably in a couple months when they remove lockout
Months???
Savage won't be unlocked until sometime into 5.3
Probably like 5.38 or so
ye
@strange prism nope, in terms of in-game
Which will be like 4+ mos or so from now
Quick question: I'm trying controller and just activated the W XHB but I can't seem to change the skills that are on them. Anyone know how?
The wxhb pulls from whatever cross hotbar you set it to...default is like hotbar 2 iirc
if I send my retainer out on a venture, can I tell them what to get?
also, is there any way to like, power level a retainer?
If you send them out on hunting/field venture and not quick ventures or the 18h ones
power leveling would be buying the retainer boost from the mogstation
But outside of that (which only goes to 60 iirc), there's no real quick way to level them
send them out on the hunting/field 1hr ventures, every hour, while you're on and then 18hrs when you're off for the night/going to be away for awhile
I'm new to the game ..
got it. Thanks
Doing DRK anima weapon and on the Crystal Sand step. I know it's glamour but I thought I might take a few mins to ask what stats to invest in just because
Just throw crit and whatever else
Dh or det, not like you're gonna use it practically
What's the difference between DH and Det? I'm clueless on stat meanings
Hover over it on youe character screen and it tells you
But in short
Det is overall damage and increase healing
Direct hit increases rate that you direct hit things (direct hits always do 25% more damage
Crit raises both crit rate and damage
(you can crit and direct hot together for direct crit hit)
Tenacity reduces the damage you take, increases the healing you do and the damage you deal ( however the mitigation isnt even noticable or changes any form of cooldown or healing requirements so the mitigation is pretty mute, and the damage increase is worse than det)

Need help doing hells lid anyone plz?
Anyone know how this window effect was created? https://i.imgur.com/AysT7xo.jpg
Doesn't change much from 50 to 60
i just hit 60. So I'm kinda curious whether if there are any more changes coming in after 60
Nah
At 50 it has most of the core parts of the job, the rest is stuff that gets added onto what you're already doing
Rdm higher level just add more skills at the end of combo
The AoE for RDM is really tripping me up tho
Hmm?
I dunnoe why
AoE is just the same combo but in reverse
Oh wait you don't have impact yet at htat level
So yeah the AoE combo is complete at 70
yeah, I initially used my 2 mouse keys for the two AoEs
with Ctrl added on for the other 2
White > impact ; black > impact ; if hit 40, manafic enchanted moulinet
but I kept miscasting
@meager jewel unless im missing something, it's just day time right?
Yes but specifically how they set up the windows like that
So I've put the two "stationary" AoEs on hotbar 3, so I can press Shift +1/2 while using the mouse keys for the other AoE
What is the piece in the middle? @mint shale
but then there's the bother that the bread and butter skill needs two keys to be pressed
Anyone got a RDM key layout?
Yeah I'm curious about what items they combined to make that
AH i found a video guide
HGXIV shows how to make Bigjun Steel's Rounded Bay Window.

Is there a really fast way with my keyboard to turn in collectables?
I feel like you have to use your mouse to exchange the actual item
its just really tedious and slow
O o f
how do you get perdurable tomes?
by trading in 7 blades of golden antiquity or by doing eden's verse: furor (Savage)
guys i just updated my graphics card and now whenever i start my game my pc crashes
any way to fix this
You can uninstall the drivers and reinstall the old ones, and see if that brings it back to normal
You can use DDU to make sure they're completely uninstalled
or whatever it's called
Yeah, DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) is what it's called, I've used it in the past
is doing that on savage faster than the other?
technically, yes since 7 blades = 7 weeks
but if you're not in a static, then it can technically be longer since you're going to be rolling against other people for it

wow the bay window sure takes lots of effort and item slots D:
@radiant brook first you need to ask yourself "are you ready for savage"
probably not
Cause trying to get first clear in savage would take 2 hrs to 40 hrs++ (no joke) depends on skill/luck
@_@
Getting a static would help but getting a static is also a process
i guess ill do the once a week thing, while trying to get augmented deepshadow gear
If you have gil and/or crafter aquintance, you can "cheat" by getting neo-ishgard (crafted ilvl 480)
i do not have a crafter aqaintance : (
I know this a weird question but im trying so hard to get this glamour down to the face customization and i dont know how to get it exact

Any chance they'll restock the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Chronicles of Light book in english?
Ask in the main cities like Limsa and Eulmore or find them out while they’re hunting
@leaden ginkgo I recommend asking the person who made the video if you want the character creation info
...unless that’s from a screenshot from SE, then you just have to go by sight when recreating it
It was sorted in #general-discussion
@leaden ginkgo aether also has a hunt discord
Ah
Its Face 1 midlander
@little swift do you have a link for it?
ye i can dm it to you
Pls
Can you guys reccomend any gaming mouse for this game
Currently using a Logitech G900 but I want a wireless one with programmable side buttons
theres the Logitech G903
G602
Does wonderous trail get completed if u do it unsynced?
Tail*
Live in an apt so i'd prefer wireless since space is limited
@manic oasis yes
cool nice! 😄
Currently around lvl 40 tank and I just want to make sure I’m doing well for my team, any type of items/potions/etc I should be taking into dungeons and boss fights etc?
Potions are... ridiculously weak in this game
The only thing you can really do is keep your gear up to date
No one wants the tank with gear thats 15 levels below current content
Ah yeah, been seeing that. Luckily my armour has been doing well/keeping up to date and I haven’t died in any dungeons or boss battles (yet), just had a healer die yesterday and I didn’t even notice until the DPS’s got wiped
I should prob try and buy some raise items (if there available at lvl 40?)
There are phoenix downs, but you can't use them in combat
ah damn
Everyone has a responsibility in this game to stay out of the bad
Alrighty I see
It's stuff like if the boss summons adds, you need to be swift at picking them up, and make sure the flank and rear of the boss is easily available for melee DPS, and if the boss has a cleave, don't keep it angled towards your team
It was Titan yesterday, and I think one of the poor dudes got stuck when he was doing his slam thing
and yeah, always keep the enmity of the boss, away from my team lol
It just made me curious if there was items for raises during battle, but I guess not
A cleave is a large area attack that hits in front of the boss, Titan does indeed have one and it's even invisible
So if other people stand in front of him, they're also gonna be hit by it, hence the need to keep him turned away
Yeah that happened yesterday, I always make sure to be the only person in front of Titan so the rest attack from the back, but he does have a full area sort of attack which does about half my health if you’re too close
But yeah, doesn’t seem like I can take anything into battle really
Some sugar to counteract the salt
Haha, I guess so, I just felt so bad for everyone else dying and me being left, it was our first time and we did win the second lol

what items do alchemists desynth?
is there anywhere to get lots of lower ones to start raising the level easily?
There's also some housing items that are alc
if you're not using your poetics for anything, just buy scaevan smn/sch books and desynth those
good ideas, thanks
or craft 70-80 books if you can gather easily/buy the mats cheaply
As a battle job, what method can give me large amount of Gil?
by switching to crafter
running treasure maps
jokes aside maybe doing 8-man maps
I tried being culinarian but I just don’t get it :/
Can’t find an up to date guide on it
Spamming high level dungeons, need/greed everything, level a crafter a bit to unlock desynth, desynth everything and sell the mats
Spend the tomes you get from dungeons on the materials and sell those, as well

quick question, does the race and whatnot matter a lot or at all in regards to what job/class you pick?
nope, the starting racial stats are pretty insignificant
so just go with whatever you like
thanks ;w;
For levelling at 70, do you just do Ghimlyt or do the level 69 dungeon?
Level cap dungeons don't give a whole lot compared to the x1-x9 dungeons
Lvl 50/60/70 dungeons were the endgame dungeons in their respective expansion
So they didn't give any exp at all then
When a new expansion comes out, they just add some exp to these dungeons
They really should scale the exp
like, give it more
Might just be bias, but I find the end game dungeons tend to be "smoother" so to speak
It already gives tomestones, which are good on their own
True
Tomestones+good experience feels a bit much IMO
Hmm.. debatable imo.
mainly cuz i feel it's such a shame that these dungeons rarely get revisited, so to speak
Are black mages much different than they were in arr
They get big rotational changes at 60 for single-target and 68/72 for AoE
!action Fire iv
Still no ultima?
this is your main damage spell, though something to note is that it does NOT refresh the fire timer, so you still need to use Fire 1
we don't have ultima
Flare still the big boom spell?
Despair and Xenoglossy are the big single-target damage spells
with Foul and Flare for AoE
!action xenoglossy
aye blm aoe also got a bit better now
its freeze/flare rotating with t4 thrown in and foul when its up

Alright, time to dust off my blm soul stone
what happens with the items that i try to sell of the market after a week?
assuming you don't open up your retainer to look at the items, they become unlisted and can't be bought until you look at them
is there going to be a quick way to level up BTN and MIN in future patch? like Ishgard turn-in?
Yeah, in the next update they'll add ishgard turn ins for gatherer
nice ty
If I haven't bought Shadowbringers I'm assuming I can only level up to 50 right?
Anyone know how I'm supposed to get this sightseeing log entry in Coerthas Western Highlands? I can't dismount on it, and trying to travel up the chains just seems to lead to weird clipping issues
You have to walk up the chains
And jump onto it
Start from the surface of the bridge itself
I was able to get up tot he little pan shaped part above it but couldn't get anywhere after that
It just dropped me down again
Have to jump onto the lantern instead of above it.
It's very awkward
Looking for a youtube video would explain it alot better.

Finally got it figured out
I just got the game. What class is best to start with to be a healer?
Conjurer
Its the only class that starts as a healer right out of the gate
Though Arcanist can become a healer at level 30
Only healer class you can start with is Conjurer
You can turn the Arcanist into a healer at 30, but it's a DPS until then
Does the Thaumaturge class have anything to do with healing?
Nope
No its a DPS
dang.
conjurer and 1 of the arcanist paths is healing
thaumaturge is blow these dudes the fuck up
Astrologian is the third healing job, but it's unlocked in the first expak
Well could someone walk me to the Conjurer people
that's gridania
The game will take you there if you select to begin as a CNJ
I didn't 😦
Oh
Then follow
And you will get the ability to travel cities around lvl 15
poop. Ok thank you
Or, if you haven't played much at all yet, restart
What lvl gear is worth getting from silver choco feathers?
the most recent ones I'd say
so iirc its ilvl390, especially when you don't have enough tones to buy it yourself
So lvl 70?

Yes.
poetics aren't really hard to get at any level, so i wouldn't stress about it much
New player here. Will I ever be able to get armor like the high-ranking Garleans? They look heckin cool.
There's some lower ranking imperial gear but nothing I know of for higher ranks like Gaius and Nero
That's a bummer 😦
there is some gear that's in a similar style, but not exactly the same
I'm not even sure what gear you're thinking of Sade
scaevan is what i was thinking of
Oh well. It's not a huge deal, just - you know. It looks cool! It looks super extra, too, but it looks cool.
They said they didn't want to give us "Judge" gear in the past because of ya know, they are the villains, maybe in 6.0 we could get something inspired from it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Does Doton and Salted Earth stack?
You mean will both do damage to the same enemy? Yes
if you discarded a mogstation gearpiece you could get it back in the calamity salvager right?

tossing paid items generally aren't obtainable unless you ask a gm for a one time recovery
they might suggest using /isearch first (in case it's stored somewhere it shouldn't be)
If I make a char on midgarsomr, can I transfer later to Gilgamesh ? Within data center ?
silly gathering quest question. do you have to actually mine stuff or simply acquire it?
Pre stormblood yes you can literally just buy the gathering job quest items
Sb and later you have to diy
cool. ty. twice, I've gained 5 levels just doing the one quest. kind of silly
The answer is probably no but.... anyone have/know return to oblivion (e8) full lyrics?
@rare sable
what is better on sam nowadays crit or sks?
Depends on classes
Usually they want sks to tier first
Then filled the rest with crit

how people put their chocobo out to help in fights and so on?
Click the g.... cant spell... gysal(??) greens
gysahl greens
There's a lv 30 side quest called My Feisty Little Chocobo that you need to do to unlock the companion stuff
alright i will look for this quest
It should be in the vicinity of Camp Tranquil aetheryte in South Shroud.
are the daily quests bugged or am i missing something? I should be getting more exp
ah
70+ is 
Just queue normally. They come up in the MSQ and are included in roulettes so there's plenty of people to get matched with
is there a reason cinder drift ex isnt on my duty list if i already unlocked it?
It's in the high-end duty tab
ah thanks

If i want to swtich classes can i at lvl 10?
iirc yeah, starting from level 10 you can get other jobs
e.g. if you're a conjurer you can go for gladiator
You need to complete your lvl10 class quest first to be able to switch
you just have to go to the right guild
Like im a Gladiator i want to be Rogue
For rogue though you'll need to progress the main scenario quest far enough to get airship access
Rogue Guild is in Limsa Lominsa iirc
since there's no way to get to limsa without it, from ul'dah/gridania
How do i get there. Sorry i just started playing
This is rather specific, but if I happen to use a gamepad in ffxiv and create gamepad specific settings, will they overwrite my keyboard ones or will I be able to switch between those two hotbar game modes?
You just do the MSQ, you will get access to the airship eventually
and there you can go to Gridania or Limsa Lominsa
the latter is the one you want since you wanna go Rogue
Sorry MSQ?
main scenario quests 
Oh so keep doing those and then ill be able to get there
yep.
all the stuff in this game is unlocked through either MSQ
or from blue sidequests 
i dont see anyone ever talking in chat .. is that normal?
in cities? I see a lot of ppl hanging out in Limsa Lominsa.
WAY more than in Gridania or Ul'dah
At what point should i worry about putting materias on my armor? Im currently working my way up to 490 gear from phantasm tokens
Allegory i mean
When you can augment your tomestone great id say
thank you @forest laurel
Are materias scarce? Im scared of not having enough with the low gil i fot
nah
As long as you ride hunt trains or do adventurer in need roulettes often you'll have a healthy supply of clusters for materia exchange
For example I have never bought materia off the marketboard after catching a hunt train at least once a week
Tbh if know you're not gonna replace the gear for awhile, toss materia into it
At least lv6s
Cause 100% retrival rate
So its literally free stats
The only time you need a lot of materia is when you're overmelding, but you can only overmeld with crafted gear
Ahhh i see thanks, i was so hesitant for so long cuz im wary of my currency
Materia comes like candy stares at the 500+ stack of stella clusters
lmao same
Thank god they did raise the stack limit all that time ago
So we currently just have the first Nier raid right? And is there any. Current way to get Nier weapons?
ok ive fished for 15mins. i tried "east of byregot strike" as stated in story tab and south of it. how desert catfish?
Thanks @faint flare Maybe we get weapons in the next one 🙂
what bait are you using?
Oh really? Well hopefully they will give us some glam options. I just really want those sick katanas.
@leaden ginkgo
Location: Southern Thanalan (x27,y37)
Hole Level: 35.
Baits: Sand Leech, Sand Gecko.
Friend your coordinate
You should be fishing on the other side
@_@);
They literally mark it on the map(?)
i was at 27/37 for 10mins
sagoli dunes is the fishing hole you should be at
bc east didnt work. is it just rng then
you're literally fishing in the wrong hole
you see how the window says Sagolii Desert?
Fishing is all rng
there is an rng element
but you aso need to be in a place where the fish is available at all
!faq mount
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
🤔 why are you locking your computer while playing?
#kupo-bot-spam
1: don't do that
2: ffxiv's engine is hella old and is not built for a lot of things so, really don't do that
that's an edge case that the devs probably didn't plan around
either find a place to put your comp where your sister can't mess with it
or just get used to logging in and out
it might be wroth asking in #technology-discussion as well
but they'll probably give the same answer
Would someone maybe be interested to show me the ropes of the game?
I am new to this type of rpgs and wanted to see if it was a fit for it
When people say SHB hunts, do they mean the Clan Nutsy ones or is there another vendor that gives you Centurio marks??
Clan Nutsy
Because centurio marks obviously don't work across a literal different world
@naive hound just follow do
and some 
thats it?
For now yes
thats the gameplay?
there's two different styles of gamepkay
Stuff in this game is msq-locked
There's the leveling and story gameplay
Which requires MSQ quests (aka story quests)
So you really cant do anything if you dont do 
Once you finish the MSQ, then you can move onto endgame progression
which is a different beast onto itself
I’ve never done a treasure hunt in a group before. How does loot distribution work?
@slate arrow ok im just confused because people tell me the best way to get stellacluster is to do SHB A trains, but i dont see any A hunts on the Nutsy hunt board
Usually everyone just need and hope to be lucky, but on very rare occasion if everyone agrees, map provider got need priority while others greed only @lost sinew
a hunts are available to everyone regardless of the board
however they're really hard so generally people take them on in trains
Oh that makes sense doh
ty
Crystal probably has a hunts discord like aether but I don't know if it definitely exists
Theres hunt LS at least.... idk bout discord

How can I fish on Ceruleum Field? I can't find where to access it
It's a known bug that should be fixed in the next patch
Yall mind if i ask another stupid question?
Ask away dez
@dusk zenith Usually everyone just need and hope to be lucky, but on very rare occasion if everyone agrees, map provider got need priority while others greed only
And oh, its polite to bring some maps yourself
So when i join a pf hunt train how do i switch instances to where it is happening? Like if they are on another server
You can swap servers in your data center by going to any of the three starting city main aetherytes
and then the option along the lines of "world visit"
once you reach the weekly cap for allegory tomes, even if you spend them you cant earn more?
yes
You have a hard limit of 450 a week, nothing bypasses it
New player here. Would you suggest attempting to level crafts skills throughout the MSQ or save it for after?
i'd say save it for when you feel like you can't do the MSQ any more
it's really easy to burn out on the MSQ
thanks for the heads up
Hello, is there an updated materia allocation guide for endgame? (For battle classes, if it features DoH/DoL that'd be really great too)
I've been searching all over the place to no success. :1
!faq balance
join the discord
That has the most up to date info on endgame melds for everything
Thanks.
can anyone recommend any cool, low-profile mounts like the witches broom?
something that won't cover my entire screen when I summon it
I like the Dodo, though it’s usually very expensive as it comes from floors 71-100 of heaven on high
The unicorn from the level 30 CNJ quest is tiny
There’s also the Falcon Mount whenever that comes back for mogtome or subscription events
Uhhhh, the Wolf from the ixal beast tribe is pretty small too, though I think he scales a good amount based on race
I assume you don't have the collector's edition for ShB but the Grani is also really small
The Kamuys from SB extremes are also a bit small
does anyone know the setting which controls your character moving forward when both mouse buttons are pressed?
and how to disable it?
Auto-run, which I think is in the control section of the character config
oh damn the Kamuy mounts look great
Looks like there are a few with different colors
hoi boys, I got some payment issue atm, havent played in 6 months and just got me a master card
used to use one of those precharged visa's you get at the department store
so yeah, right now Mogstation wont accept my master card, IDK if its due to the nature of my account it being a saving one
The kamuys have the general color scheme of the extreme primal you kill to get them
i don't see autorun under control/character config
Have you turned on the ability to use online purchases with the card?
i also feel like i've looked at every page of these menus
Do the Kamuy mounts require EX/Savage ?
Extreme
They're all trials?
Yes
Extreme Stormblood trials
You still get it unsynced?
bird / horse? they look like wolves to me
They're the equilivant of the bird/horses
O_O
That arr/hw dropped
ARR is horses, HW is birds
Is there any way to read the
qitari story split
Kinda want to know on what I'm missing out on by choosing
So for hunts if u dont attack once u dont gey credit? I just joined a pf and the hunt died so quickly i didnt realize what happened
correct
Jesus
and even if you attack once, hunts are based on emity
so if you have all DPS there's a very chance good chance you'll get minimum rewards
so the best way to get full rewards is to switch to a tank or healer
and spam AoE heal / the ranged emity ability
@static yacht not for in-game, though the only thing that really changes is the explanation for how your choice was right
What do you mean Wynne

@random violet maybe in system config? That’s where I see the auto-run option for controller
Might also be a keybind you can disable/unbind
i'm getting the sense that it's not actually something that can be disabled
Hey if there's any pvp person who could help I put a message in the #archived-player-vs-player channel, could use some help
cause the toggle auto-run in keybinds doesn't effect it
and there's not a mouse auto-run option in system config like there is with controller
how do I reduce the text scrolling speed? mine just p much fills up in an instant somehow
this isn't a JRPG where the text scrolls slow
i didn't even realize the text scrolled
I'm try to catch a megalodon, I need to catch a merlthor goby for mooching. FF14Angler says the best bait to use is lugworms, but all I've managed to catch are finger shrimps. x.x

I'm at the Rhotano Sea fishing spot.
Well I moved spots, that seemed to work, maybe that site isn't accurate.
SB spoilers: ||was Yotsuyu always faking her memory loss?||
If so I'd much rather do that than PotD
@shy kindle no
aw
If I bought the base game with steam, should I also buy the expansion through steam?
So PotD is still the only way to lvl jobs?
Three lore questions.
- What's anima? People always say that word in relation to teleportation, and according to the Fandom page, it was a slow-regenerating resource back in 1.x that you spent on teleporting, but what it is lore-wise?
- Has a mass teleportation spell (not Flow, more like the in-game teleport offer for party members) ever been used in the game?
- Is it a Gameplay And Story Segregation that the WoL can teleport to an aetheryte from anywhere, or can anyone teleport to aetherytes, no matter their location?
@leaden ginkgo Future questions like that should be taken to #archived-lore-spoilers.
I'm not going to #archived-lore-spoilers
@shy kindle You can do sidequests if you like. There's good lore in a lot of them. Or leves, or fates, if you're sick of potd. Default was 15 onward is still dungeons.
I'll PM you Minako
It was a simple and tagged question of yes or no
no, she wasnt
I originally bought the game on PS4 and I want to switch to PC, can I buy the game through Steam or do I have to buy it off of the MogStation?
Okay thank you, that's all I needed
You can do either mako
Okay, so I just bought the dlc on steam
I logged in and I still have a level cap of 50. what gives?
You need to apply the cd key to your mogstation account
Kk
Just remember if you buy on steam, you cannot buy from other pc retailers
But I bought the game before on PS4, does that not count?
is 1266 skill speed enough for lv 80 Sam
How do I get Steam to show the CD key again. Had told it to ignore
Doesn't count cause different console
Ok I see
Its only PC and steam licenses that dont play nice
in your library section, there should be a cd key option
nvm found it
Nothing wrong with #archived-lore-spoilers, they're good people!
The Steam description says: "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online game packages available on Steam may only be registered and added on a European Square Enix account that has the base game "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition" (or formerly known as "FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn") purchased on Steam."
I have no idea what my region is, and I can't check because it's not letting me enter my DoB on the website
@rugged flicker plenty of wrong, I don't want to bump into a big spoiler because I wanted to clarify something 😄
@lyric valve you need to check your account info
Why was my message deleted? 
Well if it makes you feel better, often we just kinda shoot the shit in their, so long as it's not immediately after a patch, you should be alright.
Tbh @lyric valve Your region doesn't matter in regard to your data centre. All "European" means is that you're going to pay with Euros. You can still make a character on a Japanese or NA server. I learnt this way too late.
Because this isn't the channel to make commentary like that, so please stop doing it
we can't change the fact that SE does region locks and there's no reason to comment on it
Im also paying with dollars
@rugged flicker Actually they are right
#archived-lore-spoilers isn't the place for that if they don't want to get spoiled on things
Yeah, I know that I need to check my account info but the website is not letting me put my DoB in.
The policy is ask here or something with spoiler tags Gato
Hmm, can you put a screenshot, Mako?
There are plenty of comments here that aren't deleted but a random one that I even answered was, okay...
Says this when I try
Let me see where to check the region info
Even after I waited half an hour it still wouldn't let me in
It's not easy I think
Well, yeah. SE does that if you put in stuff multiple times. I'm not sure if you can set up a one-time password at this point of registration, but I would recommend you do it. Solved every single "it might be someone hacking you so you're getting put on timeout" issue I had. @lyric valve
Also, you might be younger than SE's age rating, meaning that according to them, you're too young to be playing and that's why they rejected your DOB.
oof yeah
Maybe you used a fake birthday then?
That could be it too
Highly doubt it
Logged in on the SE website and the DoB there was the same as the one I was putting in
If you made your account like... 3 or 4 years ago you likely used a fake birthday...
I'd say contact customer support.
Unless SE website acc and FFXIV acc are not the same thing
Yeah it's terrible 
What you're saying is unnecessary too 
can you argue literally anywhere else please
Agreed
For one, I am essentially a mod in this channel
so if i'm asking you to stop doing something, please listen
Ill give it an hour, it it still doesn't work I'll contact support
I'd say contact support now. SE has this funky thing where you get put on timeout, then the timeout expires, and you try to do something, and SE straight up locks your acc and tells you to change your password. Fun times. That's a very major reason why I got my one time password.
when is the new crafting gear expected to come out?
\
the assumption is 5.3
ohhh
though we're getting relic main hands with 5.25
Every odd patch
Well
Yeah odd patch with 5.3 with the last set
This is the first time since like arr we had "relics" for crafting
Where's the new event taking place at
Ul'dah
Thanks

Hi, i got a question related to Advanced Combat Tracker
its working fine and everything, but its showing on every other window I got on my screen aswell
can i make it only show on the ff14 screen and nothing else somehow?
nope you can not
ew
thats because it is a separate program
thats why you have to use it on windowed mode/borderless also
While waiting I checked the mogstation and noticed i haven't put in my info, at the bottom it says "State". Does that mean that my account is on the US region or does it just assume I'm in the US?
what? the game or act? @dusk zenith
the game
oh
ACT doesnt show if you use fullscreen
Yes, it doubles exp
yes
Alsooo little tip if you have Road to 70
Don't turn in with 70+ classes
Say you have a level 75 LTW, if you turn in with a 65 WVR you'll get double exp for the LTW
Some people like... ahem... a friend of mine did that with their main combat class at 70+ and lost a bunch of exp
Thanks
RT70 is essentially 4x exp with HQ turn ins
If my only clear on e5s this week was a single chest and i didnt win any loot, can I run it again for another chest and chance at loot?
If you're not in post-HW yet I recommend getting there first before investing time with your crafters btw
No, all your loot for this week is done and if you go in you will remove 1 chest for the other people
Savage rules are very strict
One chance to loot as much or as little
Got nothing then tough luck
Idk how but I automatically left the Novice Network???
if you've reached 168hrs played and completed the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes", you're automatically removed as you're no longer considered a sprout
Oof I just hit 7 days 1 hour and 16 minutes lol
Is it an andor an or? Say, I just chill out in 4.5 for months and I can hang out in the NN still while I farm comms?
You have to fulfill both requirements
its why you can see sprouts at lvl 80 because they don't have the 168hrs
Ah, thanks!
do people do lvl 70 and below treasure hunts?
not as actively as before
if you want to do aquapolis/uznair probably best to grab a few friends to do them
yeah, since thats where the newest crafted glamour mats are
ohh kk

heyo is newegg a reputable wholesaler of the game (complete/ shb)?
yes
thanks kael ❤️
can anyone help me figure out where the last quest is?
Interactive maps for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, Stormblood and Heavensward. Hunt monsters / Vistas / Mining / Botany / Fishing / Aether currents / Treasure maps
try here
Still can't find it even on the map none of these quest gives me one
I'm guessing it's 13 but the ship has nothing
what's that blue quest in the vanu village
beast
It's in the Pillars
hm
Some of the unlock quests need you to do the normal side quest first Iirc from heavens ward
I'm up to shadowwbringers
Quest is called Honoring the Past in Ishgard
ty
is the bonus xp from doing daily roulettes as the role currently needed big?
It's negligible. A neat little bonus but not really worth going out of your way to get.
the duty finder window shows you exactly how much exp you're getting from being the role in need
oh yeah
the top part of it, where it says experience and an arrow pointing up is the daily roulette bonus
Hello, how to don’t show my skill’s names when I use R2+L2 command on controller please ?
Character settings > hotbar settings > cross > turn off display hotbar help
Thank you very much
I don't recommend it though
It can be very helpful for certain special instances where you get unique skills found nowhere else and...I think if you toggle that away then it won't show what those unique skills do
unless you enable the mouse and hover over the skill
Pretty sure that options hides that too doesn't it?
Nah
Yes I will do like Vinyl said ^^
Huh
It just hides the skill namez when you hold the triggers
Fair ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It’s actually to have a look on my uptime bar x) i coud not see anything before because of that and i pref don’t move it
about those AI controlled things you can get for your duties, can you level to max level through that? i have only tanked so far but i tried queuing as a samurai at 50 and i didnt get anything for 30min
Trusts or squadron?
the trust npcs or the squadrons?
^
Trusts are only Shadowbringers
because trusts are only for 70-80 dungeons
