Yeah the board will tell you
When its full a countdown begins
or there is also a ishgard discord thingy I think too (I'm not in it but heard it was a thing)
Does anyone know if there are jean shorts in the game?
Spring Bottoms?
OK I kknow i've asked a variation of this question before but I wanna make sure I understand
With short queue times for tank/healer, they should be spamming dungeons closest to their level to level up, right? None of the other queues are as good?
yes, highest dungeon is the most efficient way
the only downside is queue times which tank/healer largely mitigate
yup
or at some point dungeons are just better?
the exception to this rule are dungeons at the old 50, 60 and 70 level caps. Those give extremely low amounts of exp, so if you're at one of those levels continue spamming dungeons just below your level instead (i.e. if you're level 60, continue spamming the lvl 59 Great Gubal Library instead of level 60 Neverreap)
Is there any use for undraw on AST?
Can someone explain glamour plates?
!faq glamour
"What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?"
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests "If I Had a Glamour" in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required to unlock Glamour, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest "Color Your World". You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender and choosing "Purchase Items".
"How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?"
Glamouring is done by right clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to have a different look and choosing the option "Cast Glamour". After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest "Absolutely Glamourous", buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or by buying them from the marketboard.
I know of this I just don't get glamour plates
plates are made from items you put in your glamour dresser
is there any reason not to put appearance only items in there
like store bought outfits or lvl 1 items that are just for looks
not really, no
one more thing, when you use a glamour plate do you use prisms to apply them still?
so there's a price to put something in the dresser?
Yes 1 prism per item
yea, 1 prism per item
What is the difference between a trial and a 8 person raid?
where can one buy the crystalline twine stuff for augmentation of crystal gear?
from the vendor right next to him i think, third one from the left
in the meantime, the stuff drops from savage and you can also buy it with books from savage
Thanks
Yeah savage raid depending on the fight drops different items you need to upgrade different parts of crystarium gear
6s and 7s drop the upgrade items
and 8s
6s drops the tomestone to buy the weapon and upgrade for accessories
7s is the weapon upgrade and left side upgrade (twine)
8 doesn't give upgrade?
Just drops the raw weapon, weapon and chest coffer, mount and minion
glaze = acc, twine = gear, solvent = weapon upgrades
So for Airships - I found I can't create a new one with Enterprise-Type stuff but can put those on an older levelled one. If I want to create a new one, can I use Bronco (Rank 1) types? Or is there something even lower than that I need to start at?
what's the distance of the boxes on the map. http://puu.sh/FjVuo.jpg 100y?
If it possible to get 80 points in fashion report without the culottes of crafting?
Kudzu*
uhhh
tbh idk
On average how long does it take to get a single beast tribe to the highest rank
yeah definitely, that's just the easiest gold item to get @hearty garden
but i imagine having one of any other gold items and getting the dye points should do it
it varies because there's a bunch of factors like starting rank, max rank, being able to do more than 3 quests per day on ARR tribes etc but I'd guess around 2-3 weeks of dailies? @remote sage
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Reputation seems like there's some napkin math on days per rank here under each rank
though they assume 3 quests per day, when you're actually able to do 3 + 3 on rank-up days for some tribes, and do previous rank dailies for less reputation on ARR tribes etc
is there a way to see what hunts I picked up?
they're in your key items
omg
❤️
do the elites have a long respawn timer?
i can't find him and i've searched the spawn locations according to a wiki
what's the distance of the boxes on the map. http://puu.sh/FjVuo.jpg 100y?
what dungeon is good for spamming at level 70? been doing shisui so far but now it doesnt really give that good xp
castrum abania
castrum whatever at 69
is there more ways of leveling with good exp other than daily leveling roulette and leves?
Leves give barely any exp
fuck
don't do leves for combat classes
they suck hell
they're not worth it
Do your roulettes, highest level leveling dungeon spam, Palace of the Dead/Heaven on High, do your challenge log
Yadda yadda
Will this raise macro work for my scholar?
/macroicon "Resurrection"
/action "Swiftcast"
/wait 0.5
/action "Resurrection"
/p <t> has completed their spirit bond with the ground
Ive been having troubles with it
No Asuna
gotta check up on that
What should I change
Wait time can only be 1 second at least and has to be a whole number and secondly you really shouldn't put swiftcast in there because there are loads of times when you want to raise without it
And by putting both in the macro it's going to take longer than if you just pressed swiftcast and raise macro after
can't you just accept the queue
does it not let you if you're in an unskippable cutscene
Weird - I’ve had the dungeon queue dialogue pop up while I was in a cutscene before (can’t remember if it was unskippable though) and I was thrown into the dungeon
And when I finished I was in front of the npcs to start the cutscene again
For reference this was during the 30-50 DRK job quests
I’m pretty sure those are stoppable
Skippable, autocorrect

Not stoppable
Ps4 user here---I strain my eyes to read this box when dialogue choices are happening how do I enlarge?
The step that requires you to watch a cutscene will only be completed after it finishes
I guess
i think they scale if you scale normal dialogue boxes, dunno how it works on ps4 but I know you can right click and change size of those when talking with any rando npc @magic perch
Might go by another name but yes slaying
sadly right clicking the "what will you say" does nothing
normally, i can resise other boxes
hmm dunno then, at least there's no time limit or anything and they don't really happen too often, so just get closer to the tv or something i guess
plus spoiler alert they don't actually affect anything in the story as far as i know, except for the qitari quests supposedly
I remember they said something about there being a way in character config because a change a while back annoyed PS4 players but frankly I never understood it because I remember trying it and doing nothing
Hey all. This patch I've been getting a lot of random crashes
Any ideas for troubleshooting?
ah well ill figure it out eventually
what's the distance of the boxes on the map. http://puu.sh/FjVuo.jpg 100y?
I don't think a single person is going to be able to answer that because finding distances in this game can be quite a pain @thick bolt
@unreal badge scholar fairies are just different in appearance
thanks
Has anyone gotten the ARR sightseeing spot #31? I can't get it. As in, it's like bugged for me. It doesn't appear unless I jump. But I can't do the lookout emote mid-jump.
Well no harm in asking every once in awhile
what are the key playstyle differences and strengths/weaknesses of the magic jobs?
BLM: has to plan out movement extensively ahead
Smn: great dps, great mobility, brings raid buff and combat res (instant res every minute)...Most complex caster
Blm: simple rotation wise, BIG EXPLOSIONS and damage, no raid buffs or combat res and does need to know the fight more than others to know where to turret up, slightly immobile without cooldowns bur can be very mobile with cooldowns
Rdm: simplest caster, straight forward rotation/priority system...quite mobile, has raid buff, can chain res...lowest dps of casters
how are smn complex?
@noble belfry looks like it might be broken
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ff6gbx/arr_sightseeing_log_31_thalaos_not_working you're not the only one having issues with it
yikes
when you know the rotation it's just unga bunga press buttons
when you don't know the rotation there's a small leaning curve
And this is before you factor in rushing trances or not
@noble belfry I think Thalaos might be bugged atm
Nani tf? I placed this and it didnt prevent me from putting it here now I cant remove it
Another item is currently linked to that item
Look through the furnishing menu
there might be something connected to it causing the funkiness
might be some of the other furniture that's clipping into that's causing the issue
Yeah alot is clipping into it, but it let me place it like this
Now it wont let me put it in my storage
what tf there was a cigar tray in it
fixed
crisis averted

are most acn tomes after 30 for both smn/sch or just one?
They don't split until 50
Kinda
sub level 50 dungeon green weapon drops are Summoner or Scholar specific IIRC
Other than that yeah at level 50 it splits off
most gear up until 50 was aetherial, so it shared stats, then at 50 the devs started deviating them
Yeah except dungeon drops like https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/a9057386e34/
ah, I see.
is there a chart somewhere that shows the exp for roulettes?
None that I know of that aren’t super duper old and most likely outdated
But leveling Roulette is around 30-40% of your bar depending on your level and what dungeon you get since that influences the bonus
my FPS is all messed up since latest windows update. any1 else had this problem?
so in a roulette the exp gained is: from the activity itself + the roulette bonus + the duty finder bonus + role in need?
or did I mess that up?
what the hell is Descension and how does it work for the card game?
it makes no sense, my turn is first, my card is only card on board, but it still takes me down a point
It makes tribe cards weaker when played
tribe cards? how do i tell what it is
They’re icons on the cards.
The main ‘tribes’ are primals, scions, beastmen, and I think another one.
must be empire
Oh yeah garleans
Hey there, i would like to know what crystarium part should i bought first, weapon or body? I'm using Neo-Ishgardian gear
Chestpiece will always bring the biggest bonus to stats
After the weapon
However you can't get the weapon until you have 7 exchange tokens
Or you’re clearing savage for the token
chest and pants are equal main stat
Only one is obtainable a week unless you do savage in which case you have a 1/8th chance a week of getting a second one
nah btm i'm still learning and getting into lv80 stuff, i'm gonna be dead weight in savage content, but if body suit better i'm gonna get it first
ty
a while ago someone linked me to a website that has a gallery of all the armor/weapon as previews

MGP is from Saucer only, right?
Yes...though you can get mgp vouchers from wonderous tails (lv60 weekly thing)
And trading in excess TT cards
At the saucer
Does anyone have a picture of Malone?
@strange coral is there a DB like that with weapons instead of only armor?
Not that I know of. You can look up weapons on Garlond DB and preview the model.
=/ was hoping to scroll through by job
gamerescape has pictures of the weapons
so can just look up the job you're interested in look at the weapons for
I think I did but it's not the easiest to just scroll through
let me double check
Yeah, not super easy
OH WAIT
image gallery
got it
T_T tiny previews
not much better than just a text list lol
you can click on the image to enlarge it and scroll thru them like that
Hi, can anyone help me by telling the name of this top? It is usable by other races?
its hempen camise and no, that look is specific to female elezen
ohh thank you
i should clarify a bit, in that you can use hempen camise on other races
its just that what it looks like will be different, since its one of the few items that differs in look based on race
Yooo, what cool PLD weapons are out there that aren't swords? I saw the war pick that is offered in the wolves den, and it got me thinking about others that might exist
not any really
paladins main weapons are swords
each job doesnt really deviate too hard from its weapon as its the only one for its job
ik war has a hammer for level 78
but still classed as in the war axe category
the lv 78 pld weapon is a pick-axe
But yeah, weapons like that are pretty far and few between
There are those wooden sword-like weapons
!iglam Elm Macuahuitl
...kupo?
Well, here’s an in game photo of them
Is there any armor that looks like craftman's singlet?
Hempen camise won't work cuz i'm an au ra
Not that I know of.

The fact that the little deviations are so few and far between is what makes them so fun!
The gold saucer has a few weapons from enemies if you want to take a look there
also a some more silly weapons, like the sabotender inspire weapons
Is there a way to tell the phases of the moon?
How do I get to the dravinian hinterlands?
To people who play SAM and DRG, which do you favor more? If so why?
main story @thorn yoke
Aaaah but I need it for my job quest
I like SAM more since it's faster and DRG's jumps lock you in a bit which I think is a bit eh. I also think DRG's gap closers are a bit more awkward to do
DRG has way cooler armour though
how to unlock this
iirc that's the demimateria recipes, which you can get by trading 1x fieldcraft demimateria 1, and 1x battlecraft demimateria 1 to talan in mor dhona
demimateria wtf
I want to try FFXIV but I have no idea where to start with classes or how to pick a server.. can someone help a total boobie like me?
what class looks interesting to you?
Of course it is
If I'm only planning to use the two default retainers for now, what would you recommend? Miner and Botanist? Or something else?
if you want to start as a healer, the only healing class is conjurer
but arcanist can turn into scholar at level 30, which is a healer
Unless you live somewhere where datacenter choice isn’t obvious then any preferred server on a nearby datacenter will do
Hey, when my friends are applying for eternal bonding it says they have no available characters? why could this be? they're both 50+
Do you need a certain rank?
also keep in mind that as soon as you reach level 10 in your first class and do the class quest, you can freely swap to other classes
the mogstation seems to be having some issues with not seeing some people's characters, so they might need to wait for whatever's going on to be fixed @jaunty crescent
Oooh cool! Is there a server that's better or more active that I should pick? Or a way to find active guilds?
Astro focuses a lot on buffing other party members, White Mage (conjurer) focuses a lot on raw reactionary healing to damage and doing DPS themself in between and Scholar has a healing pet, puts shields on people, and focuses on using charges of a move for powerful healing
Just pick a preferred server honestly Izabel
@gleaming finch generally recommend 1 combat and 1 gatherer, since if you're going to level crafters, having a combat retainer that can gather mob materials for you is pretty nice. that said, though, two gatherer retainers is also perfectly fine
@twilit arch I was figuring that there are some limited timed items that the miner/botanist could gather for me if they weren't up later on, whereas I could just farm monsters if I was bored for materials? Not sure about fishing for a retainer, although fishing is by far my highest class (even higher than combat lol)
Mob drops are pretty...tedious to farm on your own
Miner/botanist retainers can gather everything you can
Fishing retainers have a much more limited selection
if you're going to gather anything by yourself, its a lot less time consuming to gather bot/min materials your self than to murder helpless sheep for their wool
Oh, I had figured that since monsters were always around while some gathering mats were on timers, it might have been better to let the retainers get them since I would only have to worry about getting those mats once. Maybe I should get a third retainer so I can do all three...ignoring fishing again
So I want to play with a controller (currently have PC plugged in TV in my living room). Am I ok to play on my PC with a controller or is it better to play on PS4?
you're fine to play on pc with controller
I think you might need an extra program to help with setting up the controller for the game, not sure on ps controllers since i use an xbox one
Do I need something special or the game will recognize the controller right away?
Oh gotcha.
PS4 controllers have native support
is it me or cant i sell skybuilders mats even after ive approved them?
They should be sellable when approved

Do i need to do the job quests the 72, 74, 76, 78, and 80ones on all tank jobs?
ah ok
So you'll unlock all the tank gear from the guy when he lets you do it
@wintry chasm Ze bottom
Oh fish
You can't sell fish
You have to desynth it
then you get proper skybuilder mats
Do they just hate Fishers or smth i swear...
Do you guys know of a noobie guide for FFXIV?
You're meant to desynth it
The fish desynths into mats for the crafting side
You can sell the materials you get from it Danstr
For not getting bazooka charges as fisher Danstr
This is a lot of text at first look but
!faq newplayertips
mm thats a fair point. im guessing i need to level CUL up a fair bit just to desynth too lol
Only to 30
oh i was expecting higher, ngl
anybody got a neat UI setup they can show me/send me?
something with collapsing menus
I know the logic behind it if you want to give it a go yourself
Can SCH equip ACN/SMN wepaons or just SCH?
Anything that says SCH on it
got it
why is fishing getting all the hype nowadays
you need two more dungeons
You need to unlock The Grand Cosmos and Anamnesis Anyder
Oh, misread, though I saw expert selected
they're part of sidequests so I am not surprised you accidentally skipped them
ty u two 🙂
Twinning is in the Crystarium, Akadaemia is on the bottom part of Eulmore
For custom deliveries, it's basically craft 6 stuff per week for easy exp?
You can do a max of twelve a week once you unlock another NPC
But yeah, it’s a very easy source of weekly experience and scrips
I still don't understand the Free Companies. Can members help each other out with things like leveling and such? I barely see any of the other members of mine (Criterions) and I'm wondering if this Free Company is potentially dead. XP
Free Companies are the equivalent of clans or guilds in other games. They are run by players, but can also be abandoned by players
Ah. I might consider abandoning this one because there seems to be no activity. Not to mention, the HQ seems to be based in a place in the stormblood expansion which I'm FAR from reaching currently XP
@warped nest sure
Say you want to have 3 collapse menu: mount summon, chat macro, switch job
You can access all the amenities of an FC house elsewhere.
You can use hotbar 789 for this

Then you need 3 similar macro to open/close these hotbar
The basic structure is (forgot syntax so this is in text)
Toggle hotbar 7
Turn off 8
Turn off 9
@steep heron I didn't know that
This macro will turn on/off 7
Adjust the numbering for the macro to achieve a simple menu
For 8, you would do off 7, toggle 8, off 9
Etc etc
These toggle macros would need to be placed on a 4th hotbar, this will be your main menu
You can take this further and make submenu, but the command is a tad more complex
That's the basic of setting up a collapse menu with hotbar and macros
Hi I bought an item of the market board for my lv 45 armorer class quest and the item was put into my armory chest instead of my inventory can I not turn it in for the quest anymore? if so why did it put it into my armoury chest instead of my inventory I have bought other items for levequest turn in's before
what the hell does the faerie meter do for SCH in pvp?
@shadow copper You can still turn it in, and you can adjust where equipment goes when you buy it in the settings. By default equipment you buy goes into your armoury chest
When is SHB going on sale again
Ok thanks
@unreal badge Dissipation cost
ty
Can i buy anything from mogstation whilst playing on the trial?
you wont have access to it
Is the "That's What Adventures Are For" FATE in Mor Dhona time-based?
Been waiting for awhile
Zones have a limit to the number of fates that can be active at once, try clearing fates to speed things up
On Hades Ex, is the strat same as before?
how do job quests work/not work with a level skip?
They get auto completed
The end
@tight kettle Nothing big changed from then to now
Just some slightly better gear
Thanks! 😄
so if I want the gear reward from one of them that was autocompleted how do i?
Level 50 and 70 set are from the calamity salvager
the level 50/70 job gear can be bought from a calamity salvager in any of the 3 starting cities
The level 60 one can be bought in the Ishgard bar with centurio hunt seals
thanks!

It's the Heavensward/Stormblood hunt currency
ARR = allied seals
HW/SB = Centurio seals (or marks I forget what exactly they are word for word)
ShB = ....nut sacks
lolol
if you collect 3200 nutsacks you can buy a neat mount
if you want to get into hunts this is a very good time, the hunt community is booming ever since the new patch
120 for one piece of the armor?
why isn't the level 60 stuff available at the salvager like the others?
The level 60 set was originally tomestone gear
(This is why you get the weekly B rank mark and kill it and any A or S ranks you find)
You can get a decent amount in a day from the dailies if you do both HW and SB hunts
I think it’s like 200 Centurio a day if you do all 6 daily bills
mog station is saying i have no available characters?
character servers are having issues atm
wait a few minutes or an hour
I think there's currently issues not sure
Can you make any outfit or clothes an glimmer even if it doesn't fit your class?
Okay then
I think it needs to be level appropriate too right?
So level 1 can't be glammed to look like level 80 or am I wronh
Wait, even if you brought the ones that doesn't fit your class but glimmered that onto the curremt armor you are to able to wear?
Yeah that makes sense
But Im talking more like glimmer an exclusive class piece onto an outfit you can wear
Yeah, the glamour's level has to be lower than equipped level
Not sure what you mean on that last point @magic vapor, but it has to fit your job, yeah
Can blue mages enter the level 60 map dungeons?
K
Yes @indigo geyser
woo!!!
Is it possible to make the status info in the HUD to align to the right? (I'd even be fine with some sort of makeshift method)
In other words, have the statuses appear right to left
Nevermind, found it

will there be some kind of item bank where i can keep all my unused stuff
or is there already one and i just havent noticed
retainers are your main bank
You can get them by talking to a retainer vocate in a city if you aren't on the free trial and have gotten far enough in the main story that you have ||joined the scions|| which is super early
You can get a small extra inventory called the chocobo saddlebag by doing a level 30 sidequest that lets your chocobo fight with you in battle in Bentbranch Meadows
i dont think i even have chocobos
You can unlock the chocobo from a sidequest at your grand company
oh i havent done those
once you actually get that far in the main story to join one
people just say to do the main quest
That's not entirely wrong
not entirely right
You should do the main story but you should also do the 
Since
actually unlock content
Very helpful content
yea i did some of those too
ohh thats good to know ! sorry i'm a noob too
I was wondering if there's anyway to hide the quests I've accepted
seems like I've accepted too many quests and now my screen is filled with them
in the journal there should be a small box inside the quests title
You can pin/hide quests in the journal menu
click it to 🚫
where can i start this grand company quests
each Grand Company has a HQ in its respective city
Ul'dah's and Gridania's are closest to the main aetheryte, Limsa's is closest to the Aftcastle aetheryte
You have to do main story to join a grand company
Sooo
It sounds like that's what you have to do
When looking at BIS stuff compared to 490 gear u get from Allegory, how big of a gap is it for a guy who doesnt do much raids and just Roulette Dungeons and Raids?
2nd part of this question is how do i bridge this gap without doing hardcore raids?
if you don't do Savage raiding, 490 is as good as you can get
for non-Savage purposes, it's more than good enough
Did pre-order codes for Shadow Bringers come in the retail box or were they something else?
What can be grown on a Deluxe Garden Patch?
Anyone know how i can login on my character on Lodestone? When i try it just shows the ones i have on the different Datacenter i can't find an option to change the Datacenter
@unreal badge it's a digital copy, the bonus items will be retrieved via Delivery Moogle in game
Lodestone is having issues right now
i truly havent grasped this game yet lol
I mean I'm just wondering if it's even possible to buy a pre-order code somewhere at this point

i just finished arr but am lvl 58. i am using whm job gear, should start replacing with ironworks or just keep playing msq to get gear from quest rewards
is there no one selling gysahl greens in uldah
There should be from the merchant in sapphire avenue.
Roarich west of the quicksand too
let me take alook
@covert isle any seeds but flowers can be grown in garden patches
Everyone has such lovely clothes. How does one acquire them?
Depends on the clothes....
Most of the tradeable stuff is crafted.
@covert parrot I definitely recommend getting the weapon at minimum for the biggest boost. After that maybe just buy more ironworks stuff whenever you’re about to hit the cap for poetics
Thanks!
Fellowships are guilds?
Yea. You can mount them out of combat
And the timer will pause
Either use the whistle or right click your chocobro and select mount
but does that make my movespeed higher
also i dont know where the whistle is
my inventory is cluttered
/isearch “chocobo”
Check your mount guide too
Mounted will be faster than just sprinting. And there are unlocks that makes them even faster.
If you already have a chocobro. You can summon them from there.
Bottom right. Log-> mount guide
unavailable
Type the command I posted above to help find the whistle
alright
@obsidian patio thanks, ill do that 🙂
alright gotem
does anyone know why I can't equip footwear in my glamour dresser?
Is the item its being glamoured onto lower level than the glamour item
Oh no I figured out, It seems I didn't have any shoes to be glamoured on.
Im kinda stuck with my grand company, i have 25/25k seals and I cant buy promotions anymore, they say I gotta do like a hunt or something but when I go to the hunting board it says I cant do them, do I have to unlock hunts somehow or?
That would be your hunting log
Which is not the same thing
and you can find that in your log section
You just need to select your grand company section in it and kill the thingies
What is the timezone for mog station? It's not reflecting mine
Still considers I'm in 13 March while I'm hours past March 14
PST/PDT perhaps?
I've noticed that a lot of people have different AFK stances than the default few you can cycle through, are the stances race based or can you receive more later down the line?
they are race based and you have them all when you create a character
you can change poses with the command /cpose
this includes sitting animations and i think mount animations too
Not mount animations
Damn thats a shame
I'm a Female Hyur Midlander cause that matched the physique and details of my already established character, but the poses i'm given are a little too feminine for my liking
Oh well, maybe i'll use a phantasia sometime
i know female elezens and female midlanders sit sidesaddle on the primal horses

I need to try that when I'm next on
yea, only those two races/gender combo that i know of. :<
....
i expected female au ra but apparently not
I'm at level 80 but never unlocked the navel EX and bowl of embers EX, how can I unlock those trials?
its female midlander and female elezen who sit like that on the unicorn and primal horses
Went to waking sands and Urianger doesnt do it
try the solar
Do you already have Garuda extreme unlocked?
oh wait, try 3 GC HQs
Oh... I think this is it. I do have Garuda, but never cleared it
oh there you go, have to clear in order.
You’ll need to clear Garuda and do her quest, as Titan and Ifrit are part of her quest chain
Ty all
So weird wonder
What methods to leveling exist
That are not group based
For context:
I am a night shift who has rest days, but stays awake during the dead hours and i unno what to do
group content are usually pretty short. 20 minutes for so for a dungeon
FATEs, beast tribes, leves, solo potd/hoh (not recommended)
you can also try playing a character in another region that is active when you are active
I am already 60+ in all Jobs
You can most definitely do group content as a night shifter, lots of people have jank sleep schedules
actually better wonder
i remember once hearing that PotD like
You hit floor 50
And thats the farm period
its an MMO
Youll always find neets
Does HoH have that too
Hoh is 21-30 iirc
HoH has 21-30
^
so
Gotta get lucky in two queues
before i get into XP zone
First time touching HoH so kinda
in that 1-20 period

are red mages melee/ranged hybrids?
kinda but not really.
They generate White and Black mana from their spells, which is spent on powered-up melee moves
heard red mage can be a semi-healer ?
No.
They can heal in a pinch if needed, but should never be relied upon for continuous healing.
You mainly use VerCure to set up a Dualcast proc during downtime when you can't target anything.
ohhh okay
do you lose vitataed aether crystals when you leave pagos? just to be syre
ah thankee
though, you do lose out on crystal progress past the 9th(maybe 10th) bar when turning them, so try to convert them before that
yeah that's the problem haha I'm still like halfway through lv27 and I have 3 crystals atm
do you think I'll get to lv30 before I hit cap
depends on how active the FATE train is for the areas you can easily visit
and how much you rely on challenge log
at this point i'm just grinding mobs around the hut? if that's what you meant
the lowest level aetheryte to be specific
With the 150% echo buff you should be able to easily solo stuff one or maybe two levels above you
Eureka Potions will help a lot
is there a webstie that lets you test if you can craft a certain item?
and how do you get echo buffs exactly?
It's automatic upon entering eureka
@dusk zenith https://ffxivteamcraft.com/simulator
enter your stats and level after picking the item you want to craft
ty!
are there any criteria as to how much the echo buffs you on eureka entry?
Nope, given for free

kk, thanks. new to using macros and wasn't sure
I just saw a video about glowy cool weapons from palace of the dead, are they a pain to get?
It takes a bit to get to the floors that most people grind (51-60), but besides that it's not too challenging.
You just have to open up lots of Silver chests and turn in your aetherpool points into grips to exchange for the Padjali weapons
is it a regular duty that you just queue up for?
Though if you want the Kinna (red glowy weapons) you'll need to beat floor 100 which can take some time if you're doing it matched
kinda, yeah. the place to queue into it is in Quarrymill in South Shroud
!faq potd
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
sounds like a fun thing, gonna try it
how do i use precise touch in a macro
since the quality of the item is kind of random
You write the macro somewhat like this
/ac insert action here <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch"
/ac insert action here <wait.3>
Precise touch doesn't have a wait attached to it so if it doesn't happen, you aren't wasting 3 seconds of nothingness
Though this does bloat up macro length by a fair amount
And generally you want your macros to always hit 100% HQ outside of unlucky poors unless you're making your macros to avoid those
What do I do with green fish from ocean fishing?
desynth, vendor-sell them, or put them in the canvas furnitures
question should i ban brds from my party finders
No.
heard theyre a hinderance
!faq meta
There's no trap or horrible jobs
You generally only want to avoid duplicate jobs if LB is needed to make things much smoother
is there a screen i can get to that tells me how many aetherial currents i've attuned to or how many are left in a certain area?
Travel - Aether Currents
thanks
Hi! I just got the game; and started my character. He's up to lvl 11. However the companion app and the website doesn't seem to be able to find him when i log in. Is this something I should contact support for or is this just something that happens?
I've seen a lot of people reporting that over the past day
so it's probably not just you
can you chain macros?
nope
how can i check what rank i am in nordvrant?
huh im actually closer to rank 3 than i thought
probably 1 good fate train might do it
So I'm doing party finder for Sophia
But it's taking a while should I just go back to duty finder?
Sophia hard or extreme?
Hard
Duty Finder is probably better, though it is late at night for NA so that's a factor.
I'll try and see
is heaven on high the same as palace of the dead? or would I get more xp from heaven on high since its required level is 70 as far as i understand it?
hoh is for leveling from 61-70
Is there a way to increase ilvl besides equipment?
nope

do I still get xp for doing it at level 70 and above?
i mostly want the cool weapons but some xp would be coolio aswell
it stops scaling at level 70
u get some but after 70 it's a waste of time
Can I exchange irregular tomestones for ilvl 200 items?
nope
I'm at ilvl 216, lvl 61 on the quest staunch conviction. I don't really wanna continue with msq until I'm done with warring triad
ilvl 200 gear is bought with heavensward hunt stuff
you can buy item level 260 gear in idyllshire
Is there any way I can get to ilvl 220?
with poetics
if u reached idylshire u can buy ilvl260 shire gear with poetics

can buy it for 100 poetics or from doing the heavensward 24 man dun scaith
its in the Other section of the time vendor
or Special arms
cant remember
Its from the middle npc in the group of three
its defo one of those 2 tho
make sure you buy Tautest and not Taut
yep
also its Scripture tokens x10 for the 260 weapon
not Lore
you want 10 Scripture ones and 1 Micro Tomestone if i recall
so thats 500 poetics
Yup
always try and get a wep first its a big bit of your toolkit
100 poetics sounds grindy af tho
its not
It's really easy to get 100
you get that just by doing a roulette
its an uncapped currency now with a hard cap of 2k
Msq roulette is 500
its basically designed to be the legacy currency of the game
+100 if you get new player
if you want a full 270 set
Or alternatively spam aetherochemical research facility
you'll defo be grinding over the cap once
Main scenario gives 300 👀
alternatively if you dont want to grind poetics and have some gil
you can get a friend to craft you 255 grey hq pieces
or buy nq variants from a vendor
Nq not good though
its just teensy better than the 240 stuff ye
What are these for tho
old event
you traded them in at the moogles in cities for cosmetic stuff
like mounts
or orchestrion rolls
Ok
they arent anything combat related
Might still be able to find the moogle vendor at the main aetheryte of one of the three main cities
Can't remember tho
hello do mounts on mog station have different mov speeds
only the SDS fenrir
it comes with level 1 upgrades
however its ground speed only
the stars you see for mount speed ingame are all ground only
as flyings already fairly quick
i want to buy a mount because walking to places is taking a while
should i just wait it out
the only one with a speed upgrade ithe Bike
you get a mount at level 20 and you cant use store mounts until you unlock your first mount
but you get level 1 through the msq as well
!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.
i would like to change class so need to go to uldah
but hiking through areas with packs of level 50s might be exciting
Are you looking in the Others choice from Hismena in Idyllshire?
oh
has to be from her
mb
thought all shops were the same
oh i dont think im even there yet
guess I stay maxed out until then
Am I supposed to have tank stance on as an off-tank?
why not get unidentified ores/shells to trade for grade 3 thanalan/shroud soils to sell on the marketboard; 150 poetics each if u are maxed out allrdy so u dont waste them if u dont need them for gear
@grizzled mist most of the time, no. If the main tank ever dies you can just put your stance on and then provoke the boss.
A few extreme/savage fights have tank-based mechanics that rely on the off-tank being #2 in aggro, but they don't appear in lower-end content
where do I get thanalan and shrouids from
and just noticed
the ironworks gear is far better than the gear quests give me
You don't really have good direct gil options for poetics until you get to idyllshire around level 58 in the story
the ironworks gear is pretty good
ok ty wynne
so the ironworks/shire and scaevan
are they good placeholders
for better gear?
They're pretty much the best gear for their expansion
Im going to ReSub in a week or so. An was wondering do I have to buy any of the other expansions? I have SB already an I originally bought ARR on disc when i first started playing.
Ironworks for level 50, Shire for level 60, and Scaevan for level 70.
Shadowbringers is all you need to buy.
I need some help with resubbing, been trying to use my Visa card for a bit now and I keep running into the 406 error. The details on the card should be correct and I have enough funds on it, just wondering what's wrong at this point
error 406 looks purely-payment related, either for incorrect information entered or your card being declined.
@obsidian patio Okay cool Thanks 😊
I would consider sending in a support ticket or talking to your bank
hmm guess I'll try shooting a support ticket
Poetics isn't used at level 80, it's for the old level caps. And we still have one more tier of gear to go in 5.4 before we have the best tomestone set for 80.
Tomestones of Poetics is the full name for the currency, yes.
oh ok ty ty
Phantasmagoria and Allegory are the current level 80 tomestone currencies/sets
ok got it, when I get to it, ill understand it more
so heres another question mb, with the gear I get from questline and people
so I just sell it or do I do other things with it
You can turn in non-white rarity gear in at your grand company for seals if you're the rank of Sergeant Second Class.
There's also desynthesizing the gear into semi-random crafting materials, though that requires leveling up the appropriate crafting class and is generally not worth it in terms of the gear the story gives.
ok
seems confusing right now 😄
anything worthwhile to get with company seals
since im just going to use poetics gear
I've seem to maxed out
You can buy glamour prisms with them which can sell for a decent amount of gil
the higher ranks also unlock more gear/glamour, with 2nd Lieutenant unlocking The Hunt, which is a thing that lets you get old gear and minions/mounts from each expansion's version of it
You're also maxed out since you never applied for promotions at the grand company base at the personnel officer
The Hunt system is still important to unlock, as the versions of them from the later expansions can be used to buy useful stuff like materia and books which can be exchanged for current tier tomestone upgrades
Teleport to somewhere?
And the teleport spell isn't working?
Any idea how to get to here? When I ask the flight attendant it only takes me to camp cloudtop
Unless you get dropped off by someone else you shouldn't be stuck
Oh
Yeah I’m not stuck, I have no idea how to get to that area
Go to the northernmost part of western highlands
Talk to one of the NPCs near the airship area in Ishgard, by the Astrologian guild
Or try that
Just did palace of the dead up until floor 20, cant queue for 21-30 due to gear not having enough strength, should I start from floor 1 again? or what exactly do i need to do to get higher strength

You can use the second save file to start from floor one. just make sure to open every silver chest you see as that increases your aetherpool level which is what you need to get to the higher floor sets.
are there chests that I shouldnt open? should I only take silver ones?
ehh, only bronze which generally only have potions and phoenix downs
with a rare chance of a potsherd which can be exchanged for materia, minions, or a mount
gold chests have pomanders which can be very helpful
yes
is there a way
for the game to pop up on task bar when I get a commence
like pops up orange
Mmmmh...... idk about in game, but I think I saw an add-on for it
DFAssist (but idk if still working or not)
You can turn on system sounds when the game isn't an active window
So you'll still get the ticking sound
Fairly sure DFAssist has been broken since the new update
Oof

Is it not possible to desynth unneeded collectible items (like ones that I crafted with too low scores, can no longer be handed in or I dug up as non-collectibles, but have no other use)?
where do I spend my tomes to get gil?
!faq poetics
there was some item people talked about buying then vendoring
just forgot which one in specific
Got it
Demicrystal from iddylshire IIRC
What vendor?
The middle one
And done, appreciate it
is there any way to make the cutscene text bigger?
right click on the dialogue box, then Scale Window
thanks, will try that
figured it was time to give the game another go and finally make it through the MSQ
good luck
@rough anchor Right-click a collectible and hit Lower Quality, then it will become a non-collectible (and can be desynthed if that is normally possible)
Thanks
Where do I get the grand company xp boost for fighting classes? I can only seem to find the DoH/L ones

@jaunty crescent u can get some later as rewards for doin stuff with your gc squad, only other battle exp boost gc gives should be the fc action which your fc can use
Ah alright, just that I saw someone with one but wasn't sure how they got it
What poetics gear is worth to buy solely to turn in for GC seals?
scaevan
Scaevan what?
!faq poetics
accessories > gear > weapon
(because accessories and weapon exchange for the same number of seals each)
Thanks!
So I'm trying to change the color of my chocobo, and i didn't realize that you should be feeding them all the snacks within the 6 hr time period for the change to work
you gotta start over from scratch if you fucked up
so even though I've already fed it 4-5 plums
at a different 6 hour period
i have to start back from scratch?
color calculator might be able to help you fix it but it's probably not worth the effort
so say the color I want requires 20 plums
I fed them 5 plums at the first 6 hour period
and then i realize my mistake
and now I've fed him 15 plums at the next 6 hr period
do i still need to feed him that missing 5?
@hearty garden
Best to feed him an han lemon and start anew, but if you only fed it one you can just feed the other ones in the order suggested. 
how do you switch to japanese audio?
Hey I'm new is there a certain type of armor I should use for archer?
Idk the difference of hand/land magic and war
hand: crafters. land: gatherers. magic: casters. war: everything else. archer is a disciple of war
Archers usually go with any disciple of war gear that has dexterity as main status
Later on the game will have separated gear for some classes
if you have a choice between two pieces of gear, choose the one with the most dexterity
Awesome thanks guys
yep yep! gearing is confusing in the base game. later on it will be super obvious which gear to use because it'll say "of Aiming" and the classes will say ARC BRD MCH DNC, which are all the ranged physical dps
Oh ok
any good place to get some gunbreaker macros?
shirk macro, maybe heart of stone macro, otherwise not really
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/micon "shirk"
replace "shirk" with "Heart of Stone" for heart of stone
Almost all skills are best to not macro
Cause macro fires off weirdly in battle, and you might end up having to mash it multiple times to get it off (if it works at all)
Shirk and secondary HoS macro for co-tank are the only 2 macros you should use really
Anything that requires you to target something other than the enemy you're trying to hit should be macroed imo
This is less of a problem for GNB than it is for other tanks though
You shouldn't really macro heals
Do you get a warning for the ishgard FATE or do you need to be in the area?
you need to be in the area

how exactly do I get the 2nd star on my mount speed 
you buy riding maps
from where?
allied seal huntmaster
250 seals each from your GC
(These are the Hunt seals, not the GC seals.)
first time I'm hearing of these hunt seals
You have to reach Second Lieutenant or something up there first before you can unlock Allied Hunts (and subsequent hunts for each expansion.)
ah I'm at that rank then
so I just gotta do those a bit until I get enough seals for a riding map
Blue Mage duties also rewards Allied Seals.
You can also get all the allied seals you need from doing the level 50 Blue Mage only content called Masked Carnival
What's the key to locating folks that are talking in /s in Limsa main plaza?
Something like visible chat bubbles would help but those apparently don't exist
Hmm I'm not sure how many yalms /s range is, but I don't see them
Can you have targeted show up on map?
no
Well didn't work this time but I like the advice. Thanks
I do feel like this game is lacking in the RP department in various little ways
Which is ironic to me

Is there a place to use glam in gold saucer
regarding the ishgard restoration fates, do we know how many stages there are going to be?
14, if I recall correctly?
or how many fates, for that matter? because I think that on my server (omega) the stockpile was full once already and i missed the fate thereafter
aah, so i'd have to miss it more than 10 times, well 😄
that's unlikely to happen
How do I reactivate my account?
Support is unavailable till Monday and I’m doing something wrong
Why would you choose to not equip a job soul and stick to the class?
New players often don't realize they're important. Some people just like to troll.
Oh, so there's actually no benefit to not using one. Presumably the only time where there's even an option around using one is with the Arcanist where I imagine you get the choice of two Souls rather than the one.
no
you literally lose out on small stat bonuses and the jobs spells
since they arent available for a class
so you wont get holy as conjurer or flare as thaumaturge etc
Strange you're even given the option to not equip it then. Thanks.
The only legit reason that I know of is there is a level 30 CNJ that can't be accepted if you have the WHM stone equipped. I'm not aware of any other quests that do that though.
You also can't accept the scholar job quest as a summoner and vice versa
