No, anything written in chat is either typed manually or sometimes macroed.
If you mean at the start of the duty I think most people either type them out or use a macro to put it in
im sure it's macroed
You can write a simple greeting macro or use the one in the Macros option in the System menu.
these guys type it all on the same time
If it's just o/ then that takes all of two second to type
yeah I just personally write "hi o/" and that's it
whats o/
I have an autotranslate greeting/farewell macro for my Japanese server toon, but everywhere else I just o/
it's a wave
Go into the System menu and down to the option "User Macros"
That will open up the Macro interface.
Just put them on your action bars
Drag them to a hotbar and click
And use them like any other action.
if i have the miner at 80 which gathering i should level (something efficient in cost for lvl/and earn at 80)
level up the rest of your gathering jobs, it doesn't take that much effort
The thing with crafters is if you want to be efficient you want to do all of them
all of them lol its much more efficient since you will be sharing most of the gear if they're at the same level
They all make materials that each crafter needs
For example of you want to make a robe as a weaver you might need some leathers from leatherworker, some goldsmith metals, and maybe some alchemist stuff to make some of the materials
You can't just do one crafter unless you use Ishgard restoration from level 25-80 and even then at level 80 you can't do anything with it without spending loads on materials you could have crafted if you got the others to max too
also leveling up crafters has been made much easier than before so yeah, go for all of them
wdym exactly
wdym?
wich crafter to pick for for level
We just said
i understand to be efficient 100% i will need all
Then it doesn't matter then Black
Honestly I wouldn't do each crafter to 80 then move to the next one
I'd literally keep with them within the same level range
but i dont think i will level all crafter,i think it will takes too long
That way you can make better gear when you need to
Also it really isn't that long Black
Getting them all to level 50 only takes a few days
It's that quick
probably can get them in a day if you do leves and gc turn ins
Yeah, it takes longer to get them to 50 than to 80, because you unlock so many sources of EXP along the way
Mmmm

Also if you want to do crafting, you really should level botanist too
Diadem is coming out soon which is probably going to be a really good leveling experience
i have the miner at 80 do you think i need level BTN too?
That is what I said yes
ok
Botanist is just as important as miner
It's just fisher that isn't really important since no one uses fish really outside certain culinarian recipes
Ocean Fishing is fun though! 😄
is every item that i can get through the DoL jobs in this list or is there some that are hidden untill you find them?
what's the hunt tracker site that everyone uses nowdays?
@dawn mountain yes
@onyx kiln there are some books you get with scrips that unlock extra nodes but that is most of them yes
do i need to find those hidden items to get the achivment "I Found That: Botanist VI"? it requires me to discover 280 items that can only be gatherd as a botanist
not recipes, but induvidual items
Yeah I corrected myself
okay
but yeah, got a lot from the ARR areas but ignored a lot from the HW areas and forward as i only did levequests there and to where i am now
I leveled my mining from 30 to 70 just by turning in daily to the GC deliveries
the only time i ever done those was if i ever happend to carry the needed item at the time
need to save money so that is not a option for me
it was really cheap
the road to 70 buff helped like mad
getting like 10 levels
in one go
sadly i don't have that buff
can anyone advise on how we should proceed with the raids? my friend and i finished all the normal eden raids and we want to try savage. Do we just watch the youtube guide and then queue in?
we've been in resurrection queue for an hour though, is it just not popular?
try party finder @leaden ginkgo
oh do you mean E1S?
people are doing E5S now, the next tier
you'll have to ask around or PF if you want to try the first tier of savage fights
"Correct" way to farm crystals is to just spam twelves bounty and giving land?
i only see E1-4S
unlock E5N by doing the raid story
then finish that tier on normal and savage'll open up
you have to talk to an NPC in mord souq first and ask for ryne's report
it's the assistant guy
i did that.
do you have E5N unlocked?
you don't have to do E1-4S to unlock anything
okay you have e1-8N
you need to
go to high-end duty
on the right
the current savage raid tier is there
ohhh, i see
To clarify on the numbers: E1-4 are the Eden's Gate instances. E5-8 are the Verse instances, and E9-12 will be the last set.
thank you!

how do i unlock palace of the dead
do you not get 3 bonus daily quests when reaching sworn as opposed to other ranks? its vanu vanu tribe
@odd bobcat There is a
in Quarrymill at level... 15 I think.
isn't it in New Gridania? at level 17
Uh... maybe? I thought it actually started in Quarrymill.
Starts as Seenoc said
Adventurer guild in New Gridania "The House that Death Built"
just double checked, it is
"The House That Death Built"
given by Nojiro Marujiro
could you not use j*p, that's a slur
wait what
If you want to refer to Japanese players, please use either JP or JPN
j*p is a slur from WW2, that's all I'll say
^
ooh alright sorry
no worries
been calling jp people jap when im referring to them
I've seen a couple people on twitter use the term
There's a whole very negative history there that isn't taught because it's Negative American History.
but yeah I mean you're playing in an EU data centre so I don't see why there would be ppl using Japanese characters on their names
and they look like they're ok people
wouldn't it only be possible in a JP data centre or in a JP version of the game?
because in the chat during duty i always see japanese text
No. All names use the Roman alphabet.
Even in the JP version of the game?
but their names are very western
that's weird
so i first thought they're just bots
but i dont even know if they have bots in the game
Character names might be written in katakana for the JP client, but I don't know for sure.
literally some guy named Sean Austin joined the duty and he typed something in japanese letters
But you can actually see it if you watch the Netflix show "Dad of Light". The gameplay footage was "filmed" using the Japanese game client.
at the start od the duty
you can type japanese letters in the normal client by pressing ctrl+space
But you can actually see it if you watch the Netflix show "Dad of Light". The gameplay footage was "filmed" using the Japanese game client.
@open coral wdym
The show "Dad of Light" on Netflix is based (loosely) on a blog by a Japanese player Maidy Maidy about how he got his father into FFXIV. The show is half live action, and half in-game XIV. The in-game parts were "filmed" with the actual players manipulating their characters in the game.
you mean some show in netflix used a footage of the game in their show?
No, they made unique footage, not just gameplay.
Based on a real story
Some liberties taken for drama purposes.
Like, the reason he actually got his dad into the game was not only because his dad was retiring and needed something to do with his newfound free time. It was actually because... he wanted the 2 player chocobo mount that was being introduced into the game.
yeah dramatization are common
Aura that is gameplay though not footage...unless you mean the unique camera angles? @open coral
It was in-game footage. They "filmed" using the actual game.
what is progres bar?
What's the context?
Crafting?
hud
im looking into what hotbar is the one that show enemy cast
and what is cross hotbar
Cross hotbar is the controller default hotbars.
Instead of being lines, it's four crosses set up like ++ ++
You don't get a item in your botanist log checked of if you buy them right? you have to find it in the wild?
Correct
do i need to do something to make it easeir to find hidden items like seeds or is that all RNG?
naturally is it the one skill i was about to get in the questline before taking a break from it

So I've been thinking of mapping skills for my samurai class, stuff like the aoe's and using a macro for it, but how would I go about doing this on FFXIV? All i see is a textbox to enter /commands but i don't see a command for Fuga etc
-
dont ever macro GCD skills, its a terrible idea and massive dps lost
-
/ac "Skill name"
What do you mean DPS lost? I'm just trying to link the skills together so it takes only one space on the hotbar instead of two, and link them like they should be
I'm not linking the skills that give Ka, just the AOE's
!faq marcos
!faq macro
!faq macrogcd
Thanks
Watch that
Macroing skills means you cant que them anymore, meaning it wont fire off the moment ots available
So basically using the macro would make Fuga happen but it's second link skill won't happen?
what it does is makes it come out slower
And waits only work in whole seconds, so you're losing 0.5seconds everytime you try to combo
Whixh adds up fast
imagine doing fuga, oka, fuga, mangetsu
macroing those 4, you could have already be casting goken if you pressed normally
I understand now, it makes shit comes out slower, yeah cool
eventually that adds up
Can't afford time waste as a sam
Yep, especially as your job is to do dps
Trying to press less buttons wont ever make you do more dps
99% of the time you do not want to macro queue skills. Especially if you're dps.
Only real acceptable macros are Raise macros to.call out who you're raising and occasional <t> macros for ground aoes
ShB: solo or DF dungeons?
Either/or
And targetting macros for stuff like Shirk and dragon sight
If you're tank/healer, then DF. If you're dps, then solo.
That's a great system honestly
Target bar
If you have the target bar unsplit
Also focus target bar shows it as well if you focus target as well
Enemy lisy also shows casts
can i split focus target bar?
Uhh not to my knowledge
Can you do all SHB dungeons with trusts? I have bad lag and don't trust (heh) myself to play with real people.
@faint flare so what you meant by unsplit target bva
yes you can, the MSQ ones.
that is
All of the dungeons for ShB are on Trust.
Ah, thanks!
I'm pretty sure those are Trust-able as well. Although I don't recall if you can do them as such before you complete them normally
nope, not trust-able
Hud layout > select the target bar > press the cog
why is Thancred the only tank
I haven't touched trusts in awhile.
Cause he is the only tank
Just make sure to keep Ryne also in the Trust too, or else Thancred won't use any of his mana-bullet abilities.
why i canot sent messages to other peoplke?
Are you on the free trial?
nowpe
Message to Foxy RinoaCactuar could not be sent.
but i only have the base game @open coral
If they are in a duty or in another server, you cannot message them
Reply with like alt +r
I think they're offline. Idt you can DM to offline people
question
Or shift r
wait you can't pm people who are in a duty?
Nope
Nope
Nope
what
Cause code
You can't use a majority of social features while in a duty either.
does not make any sense
they can still see FC chat etc but /tell dont work
Like you can't access your friends list or FC interface.
In stormblood ||Susano's|| fight there's a marker which has four directional pad like arrows that focus on you, do you have to stack every player inside that gigantic marker or something
a player typed XD in the chat rather then be helpful
Yes.
Probably cause the instance server is different than normal servers
cool thanks
That mechanic first shows up when you fight nidhogg
so i canot talk with people from other servers?
I didn't notice it
You can
You can from other servers, just not if they're in an instance
like nidhogg fucking died before i saw a mechanic like that, i didn't even unsync for that fight either
you have to world visit them to friend request iirc
You can't send a friend request to someone who is currently on a different world than you.
instance means inside a dungeon/raid or solo duty
He does it with Akh morn
And akh.morn is the first thing he does after entering the final phase
so how do i know there servers?
if you know their name, you can look them up in lodestone
You can tell a person's server by what comes after the * in their name.
So the person you were trying to message is on Cactuar server.
Name (Twitania) in the brackets is the server for example
I first saw stack mechanics on the level 60 RDM solo instance. I was wondering wtf it was and had to be told by X'rhun to haul my ass inside.
You'll see names as (for example): Aura Astra * Excalibur
Every expansion introduces at least one new type of mechanic
ShB has so far introduced at least two.
the arrow outwards like a star
"Follow" arrow and the red tankbuster arrow.
Titty's vines are from mist dragon, and the spinny arrow was in O12S, I think
What
Oh, wait, you mean that one
It's the same mechanic as on CoD, you just get to see it following you
Yeah, I guess "new unique mechanic markers" would be a better way to put it
Was the red tankbuster arrow (also first noticed on Engels) really in O12S?
I meant the spinny arrow that is on the second boss in Malikah's, for example
I misread what you meant with the following arrow
Yeah, not that one. We've seen that one a few times before.
Shows up in the warfront dungeon which name escapes me right now
Ghymlyt Dark
is their like a place I can go to to see what I should buy to level my DoH leveling?

can i move hotbars with keybinds to make more precise?
what lvl are the beast tribe dailies (what job lvl to use for lvling while also doing the dailies) ?
if you click character -> reputation. you can see all the beast tribes
ARR 41->50, HW 50-60, SB 60-70, ShB 70-80
do all of the quest scale?
HW,SB and ShB do but ARR do not
The ARR Ixal beast tribe does crafting and they start at basically level 1 for crafting but the quests where there are combat sections have you fighting level 40~ enemies
It's a bit weird
ARR Ixal beast tribes also require combat even though they are crafter quests
mmm
I dont recall combat for those. I could just use stealth on my miner/botanist to get to the node back then
One of them for example has you fighting an Opo-Opo
Can you somehow make your trust group members do more aoe? they are fine and all but pulling 2 at a time and they dont seem to be doing much aoe
No
Nah they just only aoe since they don't have standard job rotations
trusts go by a timer system
Urianger although will occasionally delete a low health enemy tho
if they are going too fast, they slow down DPS, if they are going too slow, they use big spells
the goal seems to be 20 minute runs
I would imagine it's like that so as to not make Duty Finder leveling to be completely barren
I took Alphinaud because he is a cutie 
But that's off topic soo
What’s the best time to do trials? Been sitting around trying to get whorleater done but seems like I might be trying at a quiet time
what's this ball of... water?
that's a sightseeing location iirc
approach it and do /pray or /lookout
the one in Kugane is tough
can u buy a entry lvl 80 wep with phantasmagoria
yes but you still need the item from doing e4n 4 times
Yes but you need 4 tomestones from Eden: Sepulture
You would have to do E4N 4 times to get that weapon
As well as the tomestone of Phantasmagoria
ah
So you WILL have to do content with either a crafted Marketboard weapon or stick with your Artifact weapon till then
Do you get a DF penalty if you leave while someone is disconnected?
Yes
where is the golden saucer? i did the quest but i dont remember where to go
If you didn't attune to the aetheryte in the gold saucer you can get to it via airship travel in Ul'dah.
OH ty cali
are all quests in norvrandt that isnt locked at 80 scale from 70-80?

All ShB sidr quests scale to your level
can you have more than 10 action bars?
Only 10 hotbars
Hey, just hit 50 and my gear is really bad, i'll do the class quest for my class armor but could you guys tell me a way to get trinkets please ?
I have terrible rings, necklace etc
You could look at www.ffxivcrafting.com
They can tell you what gear you should have and where you get it
level 50: get poetics, exchange poetics for 120 gear in mor dhona
thank you !
Can you remove your free company for your estate teleportation list without leaving the FC or having them turn off teleport access?
no
can you receive allegory from wonderous tails if you already have 450/450
or will I get nothing if I select that
How do I get the plague doctors set?
you won't get any more allegory if you're at your cap
plague doctors is from the patch 3.1 dungeons
saint mociannes arboretum
and pharos sirius Hard
3.1 so after heavensward main quest?
you can unlock them once you complete the main scenario quest "Heavensward", 3.1 is just when they came out

<@&473626701947994134> Alrighty, I played as a Lalafell Pugilist up to around level 16 last summer with the free trial. This upcoming spring I really want to actual pay for the subscription service, buy Shadowbringers, and start entirely over from square 1.
You probably get this question a lot, but what's the best piece of advice you can give for someone who's fresh to FF14 and MMOs as a whole?
focus on
and 
and take your time
mainly for your class/job quests and new dungeon stuff
but side unlocks like glamour as well come from there
so why are you not continuing your trial?
oh and also if you do plan to start from scratch choose a world with a ⭐ next to the name of it
I can use the trial again?
double exp from all sources up to lvl70 on a all classes
trial doesn't expire
it just limits you to lvl 35
I didnt know, that's dope
and base game only on classes/jobs
But they said they wanted to buy the game and start from scratch?
im reading that as wanted but haven't yet 🤷
Nope, I havent bought the game yet, but I'd be able to buy it and start over right?
yes
mmmm
Nice nice, that's what I want to do
but you can make use of your trial still if you want because you haven't registered a game code to your account
Oh, alrighty, I'll do that first
Why do you want to start from scratch anyway?
Also, do I have to complete Shadowbringers to play as a Hrothgar? I wanna play as the great value Ronso
Im still hazy on the starting from scratch part. I didnt know you can use the trial up to level 35
What content does that cover? Is base FF14 up to level 35?
Base game is up to level 50
So level 35 just about gets you a good way into the base basegame story and you get your job at level 30
Just FYI the free trial lets you get all the classes to level 35
Not just the one you start with
Im still a little confused on how classes/jobs work. Do you just change your equipment and that changes your class/job as well?
your class is based on what weapon you have equipped
and job stones give it the job
lots of gear is shared between classes based on role
So it's only based on the weapon you have equipped?
and job stone
for example your pugilist will become the monk job
with its job stone equipped
Interesting, and all you do to get a new class/job is just go to whatever guild is giving it out and initiate the quests to get them?
Do I need to be a particular race to jion a particular Free company?
No
Like, I think Pugilist is cool, but I saw Gunbreaker stuff recently and that looks amazing
Free Companies are just player guilds
Expansion jobs you just need to meet the requirements. They are standalone so you don't actually need to level up any specific class to unlock them @solid wadi
awesome!
@solid wadi So for Gunbreaker you just need to own Shadowbringers and hit level 60 and you can unlock it in Gridania and it starts at level 60 too

Alrighty, im gonna use the trial and play up to the 35 cap, and THEN I'll get the actual game
Tyty for the advice
First of all thanks for all that helpful info! Just got my free trial and just wondering if all classes are easily viable solo? I haven’t found a whole lot of info but Paladin or white mage are the better options? With starting out aswell
They are all fine
can you select someone who you are not in a party with to heal?
DPS get much longer dungeon queues though since more people play that than the other roles
Any class will be fine, tanks and healers get faster dungeon queues, that's all.
@pine snow yeah I've done that many times
^
how so?
You can heal people not in your party, but there's some skills that will only work on players in your party
What control scheme?
im literally like level 7
Also what Kalim said
Cure would do
Dpad should do it.
I forget how the targeting on controller works by default since I have mine on custom but I know you can target non player characters when your weapon isn't out. L1+dpad might work but I'm not sure.
hey guys , am lvl warrior and was wondering since im very close to finishing story (about 20 quests away) what gear am i suppose to get? i started buying neo ishgardian on marketplace but what happens after? should i stop and invest in future gear(thats not neo ish) im interested in best gear? etc
never played with controller, but I think this might be of help @pine snow
No need to buy crafted to jump into endgame gearing, unless you want to speed it up
Crafted gear is basically "are you lazy" and "do you have gil"
so dumb question but what am i exactly looking for in terms of gear? does it drop in raids?
Neo Ishgardian is just to speed up for gear to 480 ilvl the stuff you usually want is a mix of neo ishgardian and eden verse raid loot for ilvl 480 and allegory tome upgrades for ilvl 490 and that's about as far as you can go if you don't plan to do any current content Extreme Trials or Savage raids
You're looking for higher ilvl and yes raids, dungeons, etc give you them
Also you can spend your level 80 phantasmagoria and allegory tomestones for gear too
and if i want to do extreme and savge what do i need
lmao
ty so much for answering u two
well 4* XP
Depends on the fight
The game will tell if you have enough
It won't let you in otherwise
So I'd just go through the game and actually have a look when you're done
Speaking of dumb questions, does anyone know if you can remove the free teleport location if you have to remove the security token from your account? My phone bit the dust and I really don't want to see the "you much have a security token registered to have a free teleport" every time I go to Eulmore.
Good question....
Have you tried selecting the option at the aetheryte and see what happens?
Yeah it just says the same thing, there's no options to just remove it.
I can deal with it and I'll get it back once I get a new phone, it's just annoying.
Honestly? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
How do I get to Ishgard again
You can just go to the gate in Coerthas Central Highlands
Is it better to level all jobs and crafting/gathering on one char ?
Where do i get the augmented version of hw's poetics gear?
It's a good idea to level your gatherers and crafters together, yeah. They share gear so it'll be less clutter.
Thank you!
Ty !!
make sure you buy the est versions of the illuminati stuff, if youre augmenting shire
What does the third icon mean on items beside "can be put in armoire" and "can be put in glam dresser"?
Also, can all armoire items be used from the glam dresser?
Thanks!
yes, armoire items can be used from the glamour dresser
there's a button under the window when you're making a plate that should say something like 'open armoire'
Thanks!
can i not edit my own post?
I've heard NIN is high APM but is it considered rounded concerning single target / multi target dps?
errr

what do you mean by rounded @tough wolf
Well, to compare, I've been told DRK isn't great at aoe
oh, you mean if it can do aoe and single target just as well
do you mean for savage raids or dungeons
erm
"idk". I'm not looking for what's viable, I know everything is viable. More about playstyle
I just started this weekend and playing a scholar, I was told there is flying mounts in this game and I have (could be wrong) 2 of them but how do I fly out in the world?
flying is only available in expansion zones
only from hw onwards can u unlock flying
and requires you to collect the aether currents for that zone, before you can fly
Got a macro related question, been using a handful of them for healing and I'm wondering if there's a way of getting tooltips to show for them.
@tough wolf well if you know everything's viable... lol
every class has a serviceable AoE for use in dungeons, NIN is no exception. it can aoe. there's nothing about playstyle wrt aoe. either you use it when it's needed or you don't.
as for ST damage it's not the greatest solo but contributes nicely to the team with trick attack
if you want big dick solo deeps as melee play SAM
no @rare spoke
@tight grotto so is NIN on par with BLM for aoe?
that's a really oddly specific question. IMO it really does not matter, you shouldn't care about aoe performance when picking a class. Off the top of my head I know NIN has more variety/cooldowns when it comes to aoe, so I think it would do more damage in a mobbing scenario
that's not the case
It's why I'm asking about the playstyle; I'm conscious BLM has several options for AoE to incorporate when doing a wall to wall pull. I'm wondering if as NIN it would be pulling off an AoE combo or spamming the same ability again and again.
you have to keep in mind that blm has higher potencies in general than nin
every job has AoE combos
oh, thanks for the correction then
NIN has an aoe combo and it has some AoE spells as well
er well, an AoE rotation
that you invoke with the mudras
one of them is a pulsing aoe on the ground so you can only put it down once the tank stops running
How do I unlock the poetics tomestone exchange in rhalrg’s reach
I've got an 80 SCH/SMN and GNB at 74. I wanted a physical DPS and I've read (on Reddit, so with a pinch of salt) that BRD and NIN are good classes to bring to groups. I play with 3 RL friends regularly. I like rounded classes that bring stuff to the party hence why I'm enquiring. I guess I could go and read the spell list and read about rotations but I was just looking for feedback.
you need to complete the main scenario quest "Stormblood"
Thank you @twilit arch and @tight grotto
The whole thing before I can exchange them for the gear there? Ugh
How do I unlock the poetics tomestone exchange in rhalrg’s reach
@rough anchor after u completed base stormblood 4.0
That's actually the standard, Heavensward just spoiled us
most classes are rounded classes that bring stuff to the party actually
you can assume that for all classes with some exceptions:
sam, mch, blm are 'selfish' dpses afaik
Does anyone know how many grips you need for a Aetherpool weapon from POTD?
3 for pajdali, 6 for kinna
padjali weapons (3 grips), and another 6 for kinna
so u would need 9 for the kinna weapon
Ahh ok thankyou all 🙂
When is the matinence happening? AM or PM? It's not specified
in 8 hours and 43 minutes
Oh slick, that doesn't interrupt any playtime then since I'm asleep then, thanks
the format in the announcement is 24h time, not 12
I see, thanks again

this still the best way to 1-70?
2,551 votes and 311 comments so far on Reddit
tl;dr it's dungeons and rouls from 15-70 lol
should work but if its something u like to do i cant say, mostly u can say as tank/heal run your daily roulettes then your highest possible dungeon and as dps its run daily roulette and highest dungeon too or if the que time sucks u can go spam potd floor 51-60 till lvl60/61 and hoh floor 21-30 for lvl61-70/71
or if your gc squad is levelled u can use them to run dungeons and grind exp
also u can do your challenge log for extra exp
Where do I go to buy the furniture from the event?
is their like a place I can go to to see what I should buy to level my DoH leveling?
Is shirogane still the most demanded housing district? I got lucky and snatched a medium at 19m and thinking of flipping it but i know its a bannable offense but probably in the grey area
@tired glen The vendor is in Uldah where you started the event quests iirc. Kinda between the adventurer's guild and main aetherite.
is their like a place I can go to to see what I should buy to level my DoH leveling?
@thick bolt like a list for leves and needed items? or something else?
like if I wanted to buy my way to 70, what would I need?
Lodestone online has a shop where you can just buy your way to 70 with any specific class
we talk about crafter/doh they dont sell lvl jumps for these in mogstation
thanks @hot eagle
how can i purchase makai moon gear?
i think i have the matching chest, but i cant remember how i got it
there's such a severe lack of shorts
it's basically just spring shorts and nothing else
which take a minimum of 6 weeks to get
Can I get rid of the error text popups?
it started sometime in heavensward
Like when using a skill that isnt ready yet.
not ingame atm but should be somewhere in the system/char settings

can you log out in the ishgard firmrament? cuz that might be a good idea for tonight
Yes you can
is it me, or is it supposed to be T=LER? https://img.thaun.dev/ghux3.png
is rank 7 the highest rank for beast triebs in SHB?
8 is the highest you can get right now
there any new rewards at 8?
The 9th will probably come around when they add in the allied stuff
There should be some more yeah
Sorry, m an absolute noob to the game and I took a short break. So are leves basically just extra quests for experience
Leves are sort of side quests. They're not worth really great xp for combat classes, but they do represent a pretty good way to level crafting and gathering.
extra repeatable quests
but has not much worth, and has no story
good for crafsters
Cool, thanks. Yeah, I've just been leveling through the story. I figured I'd use those to level up crafting jobs
Hi there! Can you play dark knight without any expansion?
no
No, Heavensward is required
No. DRK requires access to Ishgard, which means you need at least Heavensward.
Thanks!
And maybe any tips for this prob,
Rn im leveling a second class on my same char. But since ive done all my main quests on my first class its kind of hard to level my second quest.. any tips?
Dungeons, challenge logs, and hunts.
^
as a new player what are some nice low level glamours for scholar that i could get?
Also Palace of the Dead if you like that kind of thing.
Hunts for low levels, roulettes and dungeon spam, particularly for tanks and healers
I just like seeing my char progress while being dressed nicely
Palace of the Dead/Heaven on High is a good option for DPS past roulettes
Depends on what you're looking for in terms of appearances @maiden tulip
What sorts of appearances do you consider "nice"?
Ugh anyone has the same problem that they cant stay to one class haha
I just level everything. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Im new to ffxiv and every quest looks too good...
Class*
Not quest*
Jobb* not class oops
How do I use midgardsormr?
I've been playing for... 4 years? And I still haven't gotten all of my jobs to max level.
Ninja or bard smhhhhhh
@open coral hm my char is a viera so not too sure. any well fitted set will do tbh i dont really like the nun look i have now
@maiden tulip I was thinking more about what kinds of appearances you might be looking for. Most healer gear consists of long robes of some sort, or robe-like jackets.
Personally, I like the "Brand New" gear sets. They have a clean appearance, even if they're grey and undyeable.
idk you cant really go wrong with something edgy for female chars tbh
But you can get dyeable versions out of the first three dungeons.
oh Id also like sth basic as long as it doesnt look like rags
so ill take a look at those
The "Brand New" gear is level 15, so if you're over that you can equip or glamour it.
Under 15... there's not really a lot of good looking caster gear in general.
Our best appearances don't really start showing up until higher levels.
Oh, definitely get the Brand New gear then. The MSQ will lead you to it before your first dungeon.
Just do all of the tutorial instances, and you'll get a set of four left-side pieces and a ring that gives you an xp boost under level 30.
Yep. Right before that dungeon there's a big building just outside of Aleport.
Just do all of the instances that the NPC inside wants you to (I think it's 5 or 6 for healing jobs).
They're boring, but relatively quick.
You'll know you've done the last one when you get the "Brand New Ring" as the reward.
If I use artifact gear as glamour would I be able to dye it or still have to augment it
augment then glam
Ok
My friend doesn’t want to spend the time/effort leveling up the Rogue/Ninja, and was wondering if they can still get the Artifact Armor set if they buy the level 70 boost.
Yeah you'd just need to buy it from the calamity salvager/Ishgard bar depending the artifact gear in question
it skips the job quests though
In Ishgard?
the lvl 60 set requires you to buy it with centurio seals in ishgard
50/70 is on the calamity salvager
What about the baseline sets you’re supposed to get that are level 45?
that's the 50 set
So he can still get that set even if he buys the boosts?
yes
there's a calamity salvager in all 3 starting cities, they're located near the mail moogles usually (ul'dah being an except, the salvager is near the weaver's guild)
What about in Kugane?
Anyone know what hairstyle this is? I don't think it's one of the default options 🤔
there's no calamity salvager in ishgard/kugane/crystarium
It is one of the default options (except for hrothgar/viera) @oak nebula
Alright. Thank you for the info. Google wasn’t telling me anything useful other than “you get it from hitting level 50 and Main Story progression”.
How do I get this sexy ass armor?
Isn't that the DRK relic armor?
Idk is it?
That looks like the level 80 DRK job gear yes
But I think the model viewer is making it look cooler than it actually is
er not model viewer
but whatever that is anyway
Level 80 DRK and finish the tanking role quests then.
yeah its the Bale armor, you can buy it from grendolt once you've hit 80 and completed the tank role quests
that seems to be a fan re-make of that armor
If ffxiv had good graphics
the only thing missing is helm/darker black
Helms are largely overrated anyways.
It is! I must've overlooked it, thank you @twilit arch
I think it looks cool because it's dyed in black
The default color of the bale armor is like grayish blue right
That looks black to me...
could anyone help me with trying to get a controller to work on xiv?
for pc
and uh.. its detecting a ps4 controller as a 360 controller. which is w/e. but it wont detect any inputs. ive already tried using ds4 windows for it too
Character config and then click the top left option where it shows the mouse and controller to swap control scheme?
i have to log in. one sec. ill try that
i was trying to calibrate it from main menu
nope
it just switches the ui to a controller mode. no inputs detected still
does it work with other games?
yes. i have no issues using my controller with anything else
I don't remember the exact setting but I do know there was a thing I had to do in steam before it read my ds4
i tried googling and people said that the ds4 had full compatability starting on heavensward
so it works for other games on your pc?
yea

google is yieling me no useful results
are you on an older windows?
win10
if it's working for other games I see no reason why it wouldn't work for ffxiv
Do you have Steam open?
that's weird then cause mine works by default on win10, and works fine for XIV
was it turned on before you started the game
you could try with steam gamepad support stuff too
like you launch steam, configure the pad and then it should work with everything like this
ok. i made some progress. i plugged it in. was able to calibrate it
and use it
but i guess i cant use it wireless?
do you have a bluetooth receiver for your pc
oh no you can't, unless you install a special dongle for it and configure it properly
at least last time I checked it didn't work without a proper setup unplugged, you can google that you'll see how to make it works unplugged
I always have mine plugged in so don't really know how it works nowadays
yea im using bt
The bale armor is dyable without augment?
no
Actually I'll just worry about augmenting it when I can
ok its working wirelessly after disabling ps4 controller support (wtf?)
Hey y'all - new arrival to the discord server, longtime player since middle of HW, blah blah blah i'm not important
but QUESTION
is there a channel in this server to offer myself up as a healer/tank/dps who knows the raids for folks who haven't gone into them but want to?
kind of like a destiny2 sherpa sign-up thingy?
Sounds like you want to stalk the recruitment channels and find a group that is looking for someone or...something
Most appropriate place I can think of anyway outside of The Balance discord (but I don't think they do that stuff anyway)
oooh, i saw those and thought that was for like.. FCs. that's what i get for not actually investigating
In your defence it's used for both
Is there any way to quickly check the status of quests to see whether you completed them or not? I want to see what blue quests I still need to complete.
I know WoW has a command you can use to check if a quest is complete. I don't suppose XIV has something similar, or some website alternative?
@lunar nexus go into your quest journal and click “completed”
You'd have to open up your journal and change it to "completed" and see if your quest comes up in the appropriate filter
it's hidden away but there IS a 'completed quests' button
It’ll switch from active to finished quests
It's usually in the top right corner of the quest log if i'm not mistaken
You'll need to pick the appropriate quest category as well.
Those are the icons across the top of the quest log.
Any idea if a spreadsheet like that already exists so I don't have to make it myself?
So when you say 'blue' quest I assume you mean things like optional dungeon unlocks?
In general I'm looking for stuff like that, and quests that unlock emotes and such (although that's obviously not always a 'blue' quest)
That should be on the FFXIV wikis, but I don't know if theres any way to just plug in your account info and have it tell you what you've done versus what you haven't.
My main issue at this point isn't really plugging it in to find out, it's more just to set up all of the quests I need (mainly their name and location)
So me and my gf are still in the trial and have not paid for a subscription. Can we still recruit a friend each other for the mount?
And can only one of us do it
pretty sure no
There should be an option on the MogStation to add a RAF code before you buy the final version
@lunar nexus Try https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Progression_and_Level_Locked_Content (if it'll load, I'm getting CloudFlare errors currently)
If you can't, well... hate to say it but at least you were only in the trial version so nuking the account and starting over with a RAF code won't lose TOO much progress
I'll give that a look and start making a checklist of that myself, guess there's no real way around it
I found one with a lot of quests but it's not filtered the way I want it unfortunately, and hasn't been updated for Shadowbringers
Does new game plus give you the xp for those missions?
what even is the point of NG+ other than just replaying the quests 
solid question
(I'm being a prat. The answer is 'so you can relive the story quests in sequence without skipping parts in the Unending Journey journal)
there are in-field dialogues and whatnot that aren't part of the unending journey
being able to replay thru the main scenario quest without having to make a new character has been a pretty highly requested feature
Stuff like Yugiri complimenting you on your stealthy attire when reconnittuering (only spelled properly) and you're staring at her in the Violet Tide bikini armor
plenty of things that aren't in the unending journey that people would like to be able to see
Im using ps4. I loved wow and ff11. But have two kids. Is this game still fun to play? Debating picking up the $59.99 game plus expandions
Did a month trial years ago.
The latest expansion, by itself, has been lauded as one of the best games of 2019.
$60?
It's like $40 if my conversions are right
Just the expansion. The rest of the game is just as good, but the Shadowbringers storyline - if you're interested in Final Fantasy style stories - is phenomenal
$59.99 on ps4 in usa
also it's not 60 + expansions, 60 is the game with all expansions
(only spelled correctly)
hm, I paid £35 for the game + all expansions
complete edition=starter+all expansions, otherwise you can buy just the starter(10-20$ depending on sales) and then buy shadowbringers which contain all past expansions too
Also! In regards to having two kids and limited time
but basically until next expansion all you're paying at most is 60$ for all content, assuming no sale
YoshiP, the head developer, is on record saying he DOESN'T want people and players to feel obligated to log in every day to stay relevant.
@nocturne lichen sold
There are plenty of people who let their subs lapse once they hit endgame and only resub for new raid tiers, or the pre-patch content leading up to the next expansion, etc
I only resub every few patches
Buddy is hooked on destiny 2
yooooooooooo don't get me started on Destiny 2 that is a soapbox i will NEVER GET OFF OF
please keep off-topic stuff to a minimum
Yessir
I played whm in ff11 and it was miserable
In regards to FFXIV being worth the time
The Main Story Quests are esentially single-player Final Fantasy games
Ff11 my whm would get one shotted
interspersed with group content for the dungeons and raids
the main scenario quest is designed to be completable by all roles
what drops/loot do hunt trains give?
Ps4 controller limit the game much?
man who pissed in your coffee
so you shouldn't have too much worry about being able to do it, if you decide to main whm
the game is somewhat slower to accomodate for pad gameplay, you can do all content with a pad though including the top endgame stuff
yeah, even as the lowest-dps healer class (Astrologian) i can still march right along in good time
it's been done by a lot of people
I main WHM myself, I have very little trouble with MSQ
@dusk zenith tomestones/hunt currency (nuts/seals), materia trade in tokens
@leaden ginkgo can ask here or try in #ffxiv-screenshots
there's no ingame voice chat, so not directly
can use discord or whatever else though
Speaking of playing on a controller - my wife is a graphic designer and is unfortunately developing carpal tunnel syndrome. She however has had GREAT success using a PS4 controller!
she also PLAYS on a PS4 while i play on PC because her computer is a Mac, lol
Looks like i should cancel ff7 then
she has currently set herself up as Red Mage and Monk for controller layouts and has had no issues whatsoever
for healer or any role in general, leo?
She mains Summoner but is left handed so yes, we made LOTS of SMN/Carpal Tunnel jokes
are hunt trains a worth while thing to do for gil?
or are treasure maps generally better
Treasure maps very easily beat hunt trains once a rare material drops
And even if it doesnt, you get a lot of pure Gil from them
treasure maps have a cost, take quite a while, require a group but yeah they're more profitable
where do u get ryne minion?
Leasr popular class?
ah okay thanks :)
@lyric warren Eden’s Verse: Refulgence
i only have gate where do i get the other ones
Probably monk
Mord Souq
least popular overall is probably astrologian, least popular DPS is monk
hmm, couple of suggestions are alliance coat of healing, farlander's acton of healing, skallic jacket, ala mhigan gown, whisperfine woolen coat, rebel/urban coat. @leaden ginkgo
some good way for healer targeting in large raids? i have hotkeys 1-8 but over this size it start to be difficult. Can i target the lowest hp in my front? or some another ways?
generally people expect their own group healers to heal them
only people you should bother cross healing at main tank(maybe), or if you see someone in front of you at low hp(if you're using a mouse, with a pad no idea if you can target that easily)
You can use the alliance UI to target the other people in the alliance
Controller uses L1+left/right to target alliance members
But yeah, I rarely if ever heal outside of my party, but I will raise if needed
but damage in 24man is scaled in a way that's it's easy to heal with only your 2 healers, even the main tank can be easily kept up by just the 2 healers in his group
in pvp its bit trouble to heal ...
Does anyone know what gauntlets those are?
looks like the world of darkness tank gloves
best way to farm allied seals?
wait no wrong 24man set hmm
diabolic gloves, from dun scaith
blu mage or hunts @unreal badge
what does blue mage have to do with it
Ok
the masked carnival for blu mages gives allied seals
Blue carnival gives allied seals
as well as the blu mage log iirc
^
How much does it take to get all the crafters/gatherers from 30 to 70?
how do I do hunt?
(without heavy gil investment)
I'm hoping for diadem to help me achieve it b4 i get to heavensward
level gatherer first so u can gather what u need to lvl your crafter
kudzu culottes of crafting/gathering @leaden ginkgo
How useful is "Clear Demimateria II"?
Money
used in master rank recipes for crafters
oh
yep, clear demi is vendor fodder
i saw 'demimateria' and was like YEP YEP YEP
it's a pain to do from my phone xD
!itemglam dreadwyrm slops of striking
so how do I do hunts because when I go to hunt master says I can't participate or something
you need to be lvl 50 and 2nd LT in your grand company to unlock the hunt board
oh thanks
so when we said blue mage log above we meant unlocking their actions, right?
no
Hey, is it possible to equip two of the same rings ? Or do they have to be unique
casue i wanna buy another one with the tomestones
two of the same unique rings can't be worn at the same time
You can theoretically augment one and leave the other unaugmented though.
^
Blu Mage log is unlock at lvl 60, from the quest "Blue Scream of Death"
But that's it
so say I already have the ironworks of fending, I can buy an ironworks ring of slaying then ?
basically has you go do old dungeons/raids with other blu mages
Oh you could do that, yes
ok thanks
You could do that but you you're better off augmenting the fending ring and then buying another fending ring
The Ironworks rings can be augmented but unlike the Shire and Scaevan gear...
so you'd have one augmented fending ring and one non-augmented
... it's a bit of a pain in the butt to augment the Ironworks stuff cuz you gotta hike from Mor Dhona out to see Gerolt.
since augmentation is another item technically
oh ok
@unreal badge You have to be second lieutenant in your grand company and you can unlock the ARR hunts in your grand company. You can then unlock the hunts in the expansion areas in order
Do you still need that camera question whoever that was?
I'm seeing a lot of complaints about the companion app from a couple years ago. Has it gotten better?
The reason why people don't like it is because it's pretty useless
And no they haven't made it more useful
Neat
will there be new tome mats to buy when the new crafter gear comes out later?
ok so think its a safe bet to stock up on them then? atleast eh ones my class will be using?
Do the coffers from Shadowbringers story become unreadable after open
Er stay untradble
no, the gear the coffer gives is just HQ crafted gear, which you can trade/sell on the marketboard
And if I open it on a class it's for that class right? I wanna give it to friends
yeah u get gear for the job u was while u opened it

Groovy

Does the quest I Believe I Can Fly let you fly mounts without attuning to aether currents?
: (
What would be the best server in primal for a good mix of FCs and mentors
any idea which josb will make new crafted gear? is it goign to be WVr nad LTW again liek facet or maybe ARM?
likely same crafters
anyone can help me 2002 error ?
really want try to play FF14 but i cant fix it
even looked up online
its demo ver bus i assume its the same with complete dl so is there a way to fix it ?
Hey I'm new to FF and was curious if there might be any tips to choosing a class to play?
Any idea of what kind of playstyle you are looking for?
I like ranged classes. I've healed in other mmorpgs but also really like dps.
Well if you go arcanist you can unlock Scholar and Summoner which is a pet based healer and pet based caster
Not sure how all other MMOs work but healing in this game isn't so much you casting heals every second but just healing when you have to and DPSing when you aren't (though your DPS isn't going to be that high anyway)
@wintry chasm Awesome! Thank you!

So i guess no one is experiencing lobby server error 2002?
!faq meta
What do I do?
Get all fate zones to level 3
What's a good DoH to aim for first?
Rank 3?
Basically, 380 Fates give or take
So until then I can't spend my gemstones on monster mats?
no there's still vendors in towns in the zones themselves
These vendors just have special collectibles
Oh
and all the mats the other vendors sell in a single location
did they make it so unspoiled nodes shows up more often at some point?
So basically if there is an aetheryte there, there will be a trader?
What's a good DoH to aim for first in your opinin?
ALC or CUL due to lack of cross class crafts
otherwise, it's best to level them all in 5 to 10 level increments
ty
is monk considered good
how do I unlock flying?
!faq meta
tl;dr you need to collect all the aether currents per zone
if you want to fly with your chocobo you also need to do the optional quest in ishgard
I'm late sorry
They can reach similar numbers
I woiuld say SAM is much easier
AST is the fill-a-niche healer. If you want to use shields, you put yourself in Nocturnal Sect. If you want regens, Diurnal Sect. This is also so you can avoid doubling up with a WHM or SCH in a trial or raid, since double shields used to be incredibly subpar. ... and by subpar I mean oh god help us please we're dying these shields aren't lasting long
nothing wrong with double regens, in non savage content
As a primarily-AST healer main, I feel like Noct Sect is fairly weak. Diurnal Sect will make you feel like a healing god, though not as potent of a god as WHM.
Nocturnal Sect used to expressly say 'does not stack with Galvanize' but thank god they changed it so it can so TECHNICALLY a SCH/Noct AST isn't going to make health-bar-whackamole an exersize in high blood pressure stress activities
All the myriad ways that Diurnal Sect can apply a regen get their own unique buff so you don't have to worry about overwriting your own Heal Over Time spells OR a WHMs
!action Aspected Benefic
oh really? so... they just... removed the warning label from the noct sect but didn't change it.
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
