Okty
@lime atlas what is your character's name? I want to see if I can find something on the lodestone page for them
francesco petrarca
@obsidian patio nah i followed this guy from the lodestone
No idea about the lodestone. I don't use it for the social stuff :X
Also can you player search someone from a different server
nope, they have to be on your server for player search
huh alrght
@lime atlas I don't see anything that would have me think that your character was "level reset", if you're the Francesco on Shiva
What achievements do you have if any?
i can't remember. it's been so long since i played.
just seemed like a good time to get back into it
with the quarantine and what not
It sounds like someone may have logged into your account, deleted your character and made a copy of them.
well, shit
As SE has never done anything against inactive players like removing levels or deleting them
You can try sending a support ticket in-game and ask what happened to your character.
It will take longer than usual, most likely

is this table outdated?
I wouldn't trust most data from consolegameswiki
it can be extremely outdated for a good amount of pages.
Like, some pages still reference cross-class actions, parry as a stat, accuracy, or even older sets of tomestones.
Hey there
BLM noob question about BLM:
What's the best, most efficient way to use triple-cast? Do I use it whenever it's available? On special situations like when there is a lot of movement so I can get my spells out quicky? Other?
Usually A
You don't want to sit on it for too long
Well it's entirely situational but usually you're popping it unless you have to save it for movement
in normal content though you should probably be saving it for unexpected movement
especially if it's your first time
The short version is, You can hold triplecast a little bit if you know a movement heavy section is coming right up
BLM benefits the most from fight knowledge
other jobs are miles more flexible in terms of casts and movement
@warped nest @slate arrow I see, thank you 🙂
@slate arrow Really, really dumb question but would you say it is generally better to train, get to know difficult content (savage/extremes) first with a more flexible class before you go in with BLM?

@shut sigil it's perfectly fine to prog raids and extremes with BLM. heck, I mean world first shadowbringers ultimate had a BLM so if you know what you're doing it's not impossible
however I recommend extensively learning your kit and understanding your rotation first and what is and isn't optimal
See: world first BLM tea, the balance, etc
is BLM very difficult to play with or something?
Since all of their damage comes from GCD moves, they rely heavily on minimizing movement
How does loot work in shb raids, trials and such? If I clear a normal raid once, am I locked out of loot for a day or something?
Trials don't have a loot lockout
for normal raids and 24-man raids, you get to loot one item per instance per week when they're relevant in terms of item level
Savage raids use a bit more of a complex system but this is basically how it works.
Once per week, you can clear each instance for a chance at winning anything from the coffer. You could get all the items or get none. You also always get a token item each week that can be exchanged for equipment from that instance.
If you skip an instance, you lose all chances of loot from the previous instances. So if you want to do Eden 8 Savage right away, simply entering the instance makes you lose out on all loot from Eden 5 to Eden 7 Savage, including the tokens that can be used to exchange for gear.
When you clear an instance with other people who cleared that week, less chests will spawn. If 1-4 people cleared that week then only one chest spawns, if more than 4 cleared then no loot drops. You still get the exchange token even if no chests spawn assuming that was your first clear for the week.
Ah savage does seem to be more strict on who you bring
I guess I don't have to worry about that tho for now
nah, all jobs are good in savage
can a trial account use the refer a friend code?
nope

Can I still relocate if my outdoor furnishing surpassed 40 total, but my indoor furnishing did not surpass 400?
is there a estimate number of how many dungeons clear for lvling up from 60 to 70?
Well, with just armory bonus, you are looking at around 4-5 dungeons per level
Assuming you are doing 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69
do i have the armory bonus by default ? where can i check it
!faq armoryexp
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
It is even faster if you have rested exp, it is the blue bar on your exp bar
Armory exp is automatically applied when you are getting exp as a DoW/M that is not your highest level DoW/M
Rested exp is gained when you hang out in sanctuary area
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue in it?'
That's Rested experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
thanks
On top of these 2, you can buy the cheapest food from NPC to get a 3 percent exp bonus for 30 minutes
It is not a lot, but cheap food cost like 50 gils
Oh
Wow
Correction
You can get Lowland Grapes for 4 gils
is it better to just spam dungeons instead of doing duty roulette MSQ that takes like 45mins ?
Last 30 minutes, can stack up to 60 min
Msq and leveling give very good exp
Unless you don't have time to or have become sick of it, I suggest doing them
does it give a percentage of EXP or fix amount?
MSQ roulette bonus is almost 2/3rd to 4/5th of a bar
Most, if not all Roulette always give exp by percentage of your bar
Leveling is around 1/3rd
Another thing you can do is doing the daily beast tribes in Stormblood and the daily hunts from Kugane
Beast tribe is scaled from 60-70, you can do 3 for each of the 2 beast tribe. You get additional 3 if you rank up the beast tribe in the same day
Daily hunt is fixed exp, I want to say around 4.7 mil exp for 15 types of target ranging from lvl 60-70
thanks!
can you do shb caster role quests as BLM and accept the exp reward as SMN?
You have to be the level of the quest to turn it in
sweet, so yes

You can only join other worlds inside a major city right ?
yes
The 3 starting cities to be accurate
So hey, I've bought year ago FFXIV complete edition for PC and now I'm going to buy complete edition on my PS4 so there's a question. Will I have this free 30 days subscription from PS4 complete edition if I had from PC?
Sorry, English is my second language and if my question doesn't have sense just tell me
Yes
Wait
Just to be clear
You won't get 30 days from the PC complete editon version
But you'll get the 30 days from registering the complete editon on PS4
I mean I had this 30 days when I registeres game year ago on PC
Now I want to buy this on my PS4 and idk if I will have another 30 days because of registering game on my PS4
gonna use same mogstation acc
you get the 30 once per system, 30 days for arr/starter pc/steam, 30days for the ps4 and you could get another 30d if u get it for mac
yeah so long you didnt own arr/starter on ps4 before
Also complete edition have shadowbringers or only ARR, Heavensward and Stormblood
complete is the starter/arr + shadowbringers
latest expansion gets you all older ones also
Oh, I was asking because site from which I order have this package
that is a old copy
Is there a way to view my playtime on Lodestone, or some other source outside of the game?
dosent give you shadowbringers
its on sale atm if you order from square
50% off
@glossy sparrow so when you registered the game on PC, did you log in?
@wintry chasm Yes, it was year ago lol
@hot eagle but I dont live in UK so thats a problem with ordering
Right then yeah the only game time you're going to have is from this complete editon
My question got a bit lost above :(
Anyone know if I can see my playtime outside of the game anywhere?
idk what to even get from the GC with the seals I have
none of the weapons and armour interest me glamour-wise
is there anything from GC that could be sold for some extra gil?
More cordials, more prisms, more dark matter...or check the market board for prices on mats
Check coke too
Maybe reagent pepper and the stuff for zodiac weapons
Repelling arrow etc
petrified logs maybe
I thought this was from Little Ladies' Day only lmao
The fireworks tend to end up everywhere as consolation prices.
What are those shiny weapons and how to get them? Im lvl 33 so no chance for me right? Is it end game gear ?
Glowing weapons are typically relic weapons, and there's a relix weapon every old level cap (50/60/70)
How to identify relic weapons?
Ultimate weapons also tend to glow but thats the endest of endgame so not anytime soon.
Other glowing weapons are from ultimate fights, which is the toughest difficulty
Right click, inspect
Relic weapons are a loooooooong grindy quest line
Look at thr name google it.
Depends on which ones you mean, there's some you get from POTD, which you can enter pretty early on (like level 15 or so?), some can be crafted, some acquired otherwise, as the others already stated
Typically called Zeta, anima and eureka weapons
For the final step. All the in between steps have different names too
Too many to list. Google is your friend there
So you get those relic weapons from tough raids? I assume the drop rate is low?
No
Relics are just super grindy quest lines
Drop rates for the materials like the special crystals from fates may be somewhat low but no proper raiding required
Its not hard, just grindy.
Like 1 or 2 month long grind for arr/hw and 2/3 month grind for sb
everyone groans at the sound of Books and Light grinding
Rip
Shinryu weapon is shiny? I cant recall.
Tornamatch ones are too
Glowy
Can just buy those off market board
Or farm thw mata and toss them to a crafter to make them for you
What are the cost on the market for relic weapons ?
Gil isn't that hard to come buy at later levels to buy some crafted primals for some easy glowies
I'm looking through my actions menu, and there are three spells (gust, gouge and glittering topaz) that I'm not allowed to put on my hotbar or even be able to use from the menu, why is that?
Cause those are used by your pet
Gust is the auto emerald does
Gouge is tue auto topas does
And glittering i think is one of emeralds egi assault attack
Oh ok. But so far my pet is only using gust, is there a way I can change that?
Use egi assaults to command it
If i'm an archer and staying archer and leveling with my friend. Can I do the Rogue questline with him without affecting my progression (doesn't matter if I get the rogue job while not needing it) ?
alright ty
my friend advised me to keep all my low level crafting and gathering gear
because I'd need it
but recently I decided "fuck buying all the mats I can't gather"
so once I get all my DoL/DoH to 60 or so, can I just sell all my low level crafting gear
to save inventory space
I guess the only situation I'd need it again would be if they release a new DoL/DoH
eh I mean provided you do the quests you get most stuff again anyway, personally I found the inventory management more bothersome then the actual lack of gear hurt me during levelling

can i have 1 item be different colors in different glamours?
If you dye each glamour plate differently yes
Put the same item on two different glamour plates > dye the item on the plate differently > done
cool
what does this date mean when you go through your retainer list?
your retainer sells items up to a week? i think from the last time you touched it
so will the items not show up on the market after a week has passed?
yeah, they stop being listed if you don't interact with your retainer before that date
as soon as you do they get relisted and timer reset
Hey everyone. I started out yesterday so I'm a little confused on the class/job system. I picked lancer when creating my character but I started out as a marauder? When do I get to start the lancer class? This is on a free trial account.
You probably didn't confirm your selection or accidently missed clicked when selecting jobs
damn
If you want lancer you'll need to get access to gridina (lv15 ish msq) and do your lv10 job quests to pick up other jobs
Or just remake
well I got to level 15 with my friends last night so I might as well keep it
should I just head straight to gridina?
You'll go to gridina as part of the MSQ
Limsa envoy quest or whatever its called
When you go on the airship
Earliest you can go to other cities (since Limsa is its own island and cant walk to others)
also the ferries that would take you off limsa's island are closed until you do the airship trip anyway
some other ferries are closed too, forget which ones
Is it fine to change back into a male character after you’ve already bought some female glamours from the mogstation?
Or should you just make a new one, and buy the full story skip for that one?
you can change back. most glamours can be traded for the other gender's version
with the calamnity salvager
Is that’s what they are for?
I never understood the calamity salvager.
the calamnity salvager is basically the lost and found for old quest rewards, changing gender gear, old job quests reward etc
old seasonal gear too
Unless you’ve made them into glamours, right?
So you have to take them out of the box and trade them, then just put them back?
i think so
just go to the calamnity salvager and browse the inventory. it'll tell you what you have to trade
old seasonal gear is on the recompense officer
I cancelled my subscription. In addition to this I use a service account for my assistants. Does this also apply if I have cancelled my subscription? How does it work when I reactivate my account? Can I continue to use my third assistant?
the other retainer will run out when the sub runs out. when you sub back you will have to pay for it again
Is there only one custom delivery npc for heavensward?
thanks @dusky nest
do you get sub day compensation for these full day server technical difficulties?
There's zhloe...the pig guy Is lv66+ turn ins so yes only 1 hw custom
if the game isn't down for over 24hrs, its pretty unlikely there's going to be any compensation
ah ok
Besides, its like 2c or something super small
is there a setting for auto skipping cutscenes?
There is one to auto skip ones you've seen before, such as boss intros. I'm not sure if there is one to auto skip all cutscenes.
👍
Hi, just started doing heavensward MSQ and finding that mobs are dying slower or I can’t pull anymore than 2 before I need to worry about HP. Is this just a scaling thing? My gear is i116. Thank you 🙏🏻
Your ilvl is the basic entry ilvl
It could be better, since poetics give you i120-130
There tends to be a bit of a gear jump when you reach a new expansion
Ahh fair enough, I might go cash in some poetics 👌🏻 thank you!
Also expansion mobs are just tougher by design @heady scarab
It's a natural shock to the system coming out of A Realm Reborn
Haha yeah, I was surprised to be doing full rotations against general mobs. Good to get clarification though 😂
hey guys 🙂 i just got into using my retainer and selling on marketboard, ive been doing pretty well with my retainer in limsa but im not sure where to put my second retainer :/ is there a "2nd best/convenient" location ?
anyone else having trouble logging in today?
@manic oasis for the most part there isn't too much of a difference anymore since all purchases are taxed now. Place them wherever
okay cool 🙂 thanks
Is there a noob question section? Do advanced jobs like WHM start at level 1?
When is the rest of 5.2 coming out? The weapon part
5.25 wish bear
5.25 should be like in a week or two
im running out of space, wanted to know if i can dump my early level conjurer/WHM weapons
jobs are basically extensions of their base class
so no, they don't start at lvl 1, they technically start at lvl 30
thank you for the response
@twilit arch thx!

when giving the retainer a job (from a class) can I pick a different job from what the class promotes to?
like GLA -> WAR
Hey yall. Have a question: I cant login into my account and got this error message: " FINAL FANTASY XIV has not yet been registered with this service account or your subscription has expired." Then there were some instructions and I followed them but I couldn't login there either. Anyone familiar with this?
are you sure that your account has an active sub and that you purchased the game for the correct version? (steam/windows)
Yeah also am on ps4 lol
so you are logging in with the correct account and you definitely have a ps4 license and sub active? 
Yeah think so, but thanks for the help
Can you buy expansions through mogstation?
option for it in mogstation probably sends you to the normal square store were you can buy it, also its on sale in the eu store atm https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/search/xiv
Anyone that knows if there’s a list of funny looking weapons?
Or is it fair to say, that the Moogle weapons are the silliest weapons?
In terms of Materia is critical hit still the way to go with BRD in 5.X or what should I focus on?
From what I was told DH if leveling. After ilevel 440, crit > DH > det
@shrewd crescent there is an upcoming crossover with that blue cat (?) i forgot the name but they have really funny weapons
Blue cat?
Aggh i forgot what it was
Oh yiss..they put their stuff in PvP?
Doraemon?
@strange coral I see thanks
Garo
You mean yokai watch?
Yokai❗*
cos...we don't know when they're going to rerun it
we know they're going to rerun it tho
Yokai watch yes
Yea they just mentioned they will rerun it at some point
So look out for that
Other than that i suppose the chocobo red mage weapon is funny
From upgrading your expansions to collectors edition
If im not wrong
Anything I should use yellow gathering scrips on?
Did you grab the shb books for gatherers?
No no idea what that is
You need 40 tokens per book
Regional Folklore tokens I think
Aye
What do books do
And then trade those at the Splendors Vendor
The unlock additional nodes and crafting recipes
And then I can be rich?!
Otherwise, I use my yellow scrips to keep a comfortable supply of Hi-cordials

Hey can anyone help me determine why the launcher is super slow on my machine?
game is installed on an SSD
the launcher works faster on my Microsoft Surface and my bf's old laptop than it does on my beefy desktop
For example, when I enter my login credentials it kinda locks up for a bit before it proceeds whereas on those other machines it just moves onto the play button instantly
Odin and other ginormous FATEs are ridiculously hard to track because all of them go on a 36-72 hour (random) cooldown when they disappear
best thing you can do is join a hunt linkshell/discord
since those often call out boss fates
hello people
im trying to recruit a friend
can someone tell me how to do it?
the site keep telling me to click refer a friend on mogstation
but i cant see to find that button
can you see the banner on the mogstation?
no
Ty for the answers
yeah you have to have a sub
btw
about the sub
u can still use the entry version sub if u dont have more than 8 characters on a world?
" An introductory subscription allowing 1 character per World (monthly billing only).
- A maximum of 8 characters can be created."
i mean less than 8 characters
You can be on entry even if you have 8 characters on a world, you just won't be able to access any beyond the first on that world
its just saying that you can only have a total of 8 characters created if you have entry
how in the fug do I get to ok' vundu mok
literally the last aether current I need is in there
Progress MSQ
I'm way past that point 
none of the aether currents are in that area
I beat ShB
ok nvm I read the fucking compass wrong lmao
but yeah I'll also need to get to there for the beast tribe unlock
can someone help with this duty, just one boss left but tank is gone
You can look for more members inside the duty if someone leaves
Can /tell reach players on other worlds of the same data center?
Yes
Which duty roulettes (aside from leveling) should I save for characters I want to level rather than a level 80 to get tomestones?
That's good
msq and alliance roulette are the two other major leveling roulettes
OK thanks
Does it matter at all where I dispatch my retainer?
not really, they made it so you're taxed regardless
There's any option to make more quests show up in the map instead of just 5?
nope
What a shame.
Not at home---is Swiftcast consumed anyway even if your next spell is already instant?

Any1 need a Final Fantasy XIV game code on steam I have an extra one
Or does casting an instant right after preserve your swiftcast until it either is consumed by a hard cast or falls off?
instant spells don't consume swiftcast
Yes, but it looks like you've already been there?
there is access thru the water
Its under the water
So slightly msq locked since diving is MSQ
You go there for the trial anyway
true, you do need to know how to dive first
Breaking and Delivery is when you go there
cave entrance is here
i need help.

FINAL FANTASY XIV専用サービス管理ページ「モグステーション」です。
but in MOG i got it already.
do you own the game thru steam
there.
but activated through MOG
i think i know what i did wrong.
Hello, i just bought this game today and i was wondering does the server i pick matter at all?
@twilit arch hey i was using the Steam app thats why i cant log in through the other one
sorry
Ah yeah, that'd be it
@leaden ginkgo not really, its pretty strongly recommended that new players pick preferred servers (they have a star next to them when selecting a server after character selection) for the exp bonus. Duty finder is cross server, and you can world visit to another server. Main things that are server locked are free companies (player guilds) and housing
Thank you for answering, one last question- do the races have any special traits or anything?
nope, the racial starting stats are super minor so just pick whatever you think looks best
Ah thats cool, i was thinking about going au ra
More lizzers \o/
is there a site that says when the fishing boat is scheduled ?
Its every 2 hours
So just set an alarm or something
Every odd/even hour depending on your time zone
Sorry for all the questions, the edition i ordered says it comes with items, are they available straight away or is there stuff to do before i get them?
you should be able to pick them up right away
there might be a little processing time but other than that it should be more or less immediate
Alright sweet, thanks for your help
what the hell IS the specific error or cause of error 2002?
seems like 9 times out of 10 i cant play this game without a vpn
Does anyone know optimal settings for playing on an Alienware m15-R2 2070 max Q?
My drivers updated last night and screwed it up
Its almost not playable
im getting this screen when trying to create an account to play with a friend in free trial
its telling me to put a registration code
where do i get this
How hard is savage raiding compared to Hades EX?
Harder
More chances to die and potentially wipe...mechanics happen (somewhat) faster and dps checks are higher
How the heck do people have time to learn like 4 whole fights...?
By making time to play and learn. All fights are scripted out the rear so in the end, it becomes muscle memory
Most mechanics are reused or very similar to other mechanics in the past
Just comes down to how quickly you pick up things
And learn how to deal with mechs
I mean I did Hades EX, how rough can Eden's verse be...?
do shb fates drop tomestones of allegory? I need 5 more and don't want to waste a beast tribe
They do not
Edens verse has aoes that one shot you without mitigation, busters that can oneshot without mitigation (hello double slap...), barely any aoe markers and strict timings and failing mechs and lead to multiple people dying (conflag strike, chain lightning, tornado/colours...Light rampart/
why am i getting this?
And ofc tighter dps checks

Did you go to Mogstation to register your account and the game? If not then do just that @spiral scroll
im trying to play the trial version
Did you download the trial version
ye
btw i already have an account
im trying to play in this account to play with a friend
cuz rn i dont have game time
can't play trial if the account owns a full version
^
fuck
need to make a new account for it
new steam account huh
ok
sure
what now
im logging from another account
and i still getting the error message
Did you login with a different SE account
how do i get jute seeds?
"2. Create a FINAL FANTASY XIV free trial account upon launching the software."
where
theres no "register an account"
You can go here: https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/gb/
Click on "SIGN UP NOW""
Log in into your new account
It'll be flagged as a "Trial Account""
You can log in normally
as we don't know the process you're using to try to make a trial account, I've linked that website so you can follow its instruction step by step
which does mean you need to make your current situation as if it never had ffxiv before
you're not using the trial launcher
which is completely seperate from the regular launcher
yeah that helped
but it looks like i created an account with my alt email already and that account isnt trial and even tho i canceled it, i cant use that email
fuck me man
lol
dude, just make another email specifically for the trial then
!faq gotrial
trial launcher download
call it altemailtrial
At least you know what to do now
i donwloaded from steam demo ver
and i got this launcher
dont know why
maybe my IP
They are different launchers they launch different things
yeah
but why am i getting the full ver launcher from the demon trial version page
from MY OTHER STEAM ACCOUNT might i say
Do glams for doh main hands exist? Like items that are crafted at higher levels, but can be equipped by level 1.
I'm a newbie and reached lv 31 with White Mage.
But while on Parties, I can't concentrate on HP bars and the battlefield at the same time.
I'm playing on PS4 with Dualshock, so I need to select people to heal from the menu and that distracts me
My question is: Is that because I don't have much experience with the game? Or I should adjust some settings? Do Healers have more difficulty on controller?
When should I look for a static in this game?
You'll eventually get used to it.. I moved over to controller recent and took abit to get used to and healing with controller is pretty comfy personally
Up/down on directional buttons select members, tanks will typically be the second so yoy press down twice to heal them
Dps shouldnt be hit much outside of unavoidable aoes which medica deals with
if you want more time to adjust on what your next options are going to be, spells with instant cast times but use the global cooldown
give you time to think/adjust
as a WHM the minimum DPs you have to do is to keep Aero on the boss

I see, valuable responses, thanks guys. Looks like it's only a matter of time then. It'll "click" for me sooner or later.
Latwr you'll get regen, medica 2 and off globals which makes healing a breeze

@wicked tendon statics are primarily for doing savage content...so if you wanna do try, that is a good time to look
Not that many are doing Gate savage...might be a few parties here and there but not much
I see, and when is Savage content unlocked? SHB?
Basically right before that next tier of gear comes out
Eden’s Gate Savage was unlocked in patch 5.18 or so
So expect it to be unlocked in like
A month or 2
Probably leaning more on the 2 side
Eden’s Verse? More like 4 or 5 months
Oh yeah forgetting 5.3
where do i exchange my poetic tomestone for lvl60 gears?
Idyllshire, which you visit at level 58 or so in the story
Alternatively, you can just walk there if you're not there in the MSQ yet
The path is blocked when the MSQ doesn't want you to go there
oh
what does rmt mean you report someone?
what
Real Money Trading
ah ok
doing stuff in-game in exchange for actual real-world money
I've been reporting bots using that since it's the only option
that would be mostly correct
bots that gather resources dont fall under that
but otherwise the ones selling gold etc
ye
you got it
ty
where do i buy FC actions?
can someone just confirm that i should be able to have blood of the dragon on 24/7
with fang and claw
Yep
alright thats how it seemed

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can figure out what graphics settings I should utilize for final fantasy 14??? I have an Alienware m15-R2 with a 2070 max Q but I can’t sniff anywhere near 4 k
this might be silly, but is there any way, macro, any program or anything at all to notify me when someone in my party dies? I admit I'm kinda visually impaired, and sound effects help me a lot when it comes to drawing my attention to stuff. Since I've been playing SMN a little bit lately, I'd love to help out with rezzing and stuff if I can, but have a hard time focusing on my hotbar, the enemies, and the party list!
any suggestions at all would be great!
Best that you can do is to have a chat log that only shows deaths
blow up the party list, put it nearish center
Unless you use external programs
heh yeah, I've moved the party list in towards the middle which helps a bit!
But yeah, making the party list bigger is a good start
are there any external programs that could help with something like that?
Only for pc btw
oh yeah, I'm on PC so that's no worries!
like people use act for mechanics callouts etc . . . and it could be repurposed for deaths
I actually kept hearing that tool before, so I might just look it up - thanks for reminding me!
do you need the panties as well
for it to look like this?
or is it enough to just buy the dress?
The pants just look like they don’t have anything equipped
So yeah the dress is enough
are there any titles you get for crafters?
yeah, I was thinking that too, though the moonfire tanga might be alright if you need to glamour some armor into something
and also achievements for each level cap at 50, 60, and 70 with all Crafters
so is god of hand the highest?
The current title for all crafters at 80 is Soul of the Craft
ohhh okay thanks!
@obsidian patio thanks! What's the point of the panties then? Why would someone buy them? To match with a shirt or something ?
People buy those bottoms because of their unique design
Your actual underwear don't look like them

Plus they're dyeable
is it more efficient to do leves from 70-80 to level crafters?
ive been doing ishgard restoration the whole time
I’d say it depends on material cost
ah okay
To all you MT how do you juggle so many variables when it comes to doing even stuff like Dungeons?
• when to pull big or not
• remembering every mechanic and tank buster
• positioning
Check the healers gear, if its equal or better than the dungeon, you shoupd be able to pull big
Dungeon mechs are trivial and busters dont hurt
If you die who cares, few seconds lost
that shouldnt happen in regular dungeons tho
Keyword: shouldnt
only happens to me when helaer d/c's
Positioning is 99% of the time "keep the back free so melees can hit positionals", very few fights like O9 where you have to put them closer to one side of the arena
But these cure 1 healers oh boo
Vinyl how long have u been playing because even for a year I struggle to memorize tank busters and get tunnel vision while doing my rotation.
Tanking was my first class (WAR) so im trying yo be good again
or AFK DPS
jesus
I'm on my second year and I tank everything
if i start a macro can i stop it?
Tankbuster is often first or second cast in later content by my observations
Use another macro
As a healer, my recommendation to all tanks is "pull as much as you're comfortable with", by which I actually mean "pull as big as you want, but be ready to use your cds or I'm going to let you die"
ah ok ty
If you're not comfortable with wall to wall pulls, get comfortable with it
yeah a rampart is just fine
Generally I don't have an issue with w2w. Generally.
Or your short defensive cd
I meant for tanks who are uncomfortable with it
It always amazes me how few tanks seem to be aware that Arm's Length is great for those w2w pulls.
Had a tank in the Aery today who seemed afraid to take damage, and that just doesn't work since he tried kiting bosses
I only w2w if I know the healer
Can someone help explain weekly hunts to me? Also the party finder for it? I was doing quests in the fairy place and I saw like 50+ ppl fighting one hunt then moving to the next
Ppl were asking to join party and they said to join party finder
But no idea how that works/how people even get involved in it to begin with
in Il Mheg*
A and S rank hunts aren't weekly
Hunts spawn in the overworld, but S ranks have special conditions to spawn
So if you find one you can just get a squad (or solo it if it's not current expac)
There are three types of hunts. Daily and weekly hunts are started by accepting the hunt bills from the relevant hunt board (in your GC, Ishgard, Kugane/Rhalgar's Reach, and Crystarium/Eulmore.
Why they told people to look in PF I have absolutely no idea
A and S ranks are different though. Those are the ones you find a PF group for.
But those can be spammed, and killed for rewards more than once per week.
Are all hunt board bills the same? Like in GC or Ishgard?
No, the GC ones are for level 50, Ishgard is for 51-60, Kugane/Rhalgar's is 61-70, and Crystarium/Eulmore is 71-80
Do they all give different seals?
Sort of.
For example riding maps
If I did ishgard hunts, would I be able to use it for like limsa maps?
No.
Gc hunts gived allied seals for maps, ishgard gives centurio seals
Each expansion's hunt currencies can only be exchanged for goods from the relevant expansion's hunt vendors.
Ahh okay that makes sense
So how does party finder work?
I'm confused about all the crossworld hunt groups as well...
Or how to join an open party
In party finder you can sometimes find people doing "hunt trains", which are basically multiple groups of people going around killing A and S-rank hunt mobs in specific orders.
is there a list that shows all the mats needed for the job quests?
i could only find one from 1-60
To join an open group, simply select it in the party finder list and then click the "Join Group" button at the bottom of the screen.
Ahh okay I see...so for hunt trains will they only hunt specific ones? Like a hunt train for allied seals, and a separate one for centurio seals?
Yes, typically trains will stick to the zones for a specific expansion.
I see, so all I need is to pick up the current bills and join the party
For trains you don't even need the bills since the bills are for daily and weekly targets.
Ive never exactly joined a party though so will I be able to see their locations on the map?
A and S ranks are non-billed hunts, and can be killed for credit whenever they spawn.
Those are what the trains go after.
Ahh okay
So A/S ranks I will still receive credit even if I havent picked up the bills
If you're in the same zone as your party members, you'll be able to see them as blue dots on your map and minimap
The hunt bills are more solo content?
Correct.
like on my own time I could manage to do them
The daily are basically to kill a certain number of standard mobs.
The weekly is a single B rank, which are soloable if you know what you're doing (but are easier if you have a group because they're always max level for that expansion).
You've probably seen B rank hunts in the world. They have the special blue aggressive mob marker next to their names, and they're always named mobs.
A/S ranks don’t have bills
So crossworld hunts play into this due to party finder? And ppl switching worlds to join these huge parties?
Yep
Yes. Crossworld hunts, the trains will world visit to specific worlds in order to hunt down A and S ranks.
Okay wow that was a lot of info
To sum it up:
theres daily/weekly hunts
A/S rank dont need bills
Party Finder can list trains to hunt A/S ranks even across diff worlds
Diff seals for diff expansions
Is this right? 😮
That pretty much covers it, yes.
@open coral you're an angel ty for taking your time to help my noobiness
casually summons satan
That's the point of this channel 😄
ooh one more question: whats the best resource people use to find out locations of these hunt mobs?
Gamerescape, just google the name
Or join a hunt linkshell or three and just follow people around when you're in a train. They'll usually link a coordinate marker when they relay locations.
Ask for one
https://discordapp.com/invite/dZTgnpv there also a discord
By asking in /shout chat if there are any hunt linkshells you can join (the best time for this is right after an A or S rank dies in your zone, or if you see /shout announcements from a hunt train.)
Do i need an item to join the linkshell? Or is it just an invitation like a friend request?
Just an invitation.
One can only hope
How do I get rowena tickets
I literally just like got to creds
im lvl 55 but i need a better weapon
Buy them with poetics
What for
The poetic ones gets you the best lv50 wep
Or just fo to the market board and buy a HQ weapon and skip the whole thing
Since you said you're 55
!faq poetics
The weapons bought with the regular tickets are worse than the ironworks weapons
Can retainers sell and venture
Yes
Where can I see changes that are upcoming or announced by devs?
Even the ones in the letter from developers?
yo where/how do you find a free company to join?
You can send applications through people you see walking around
or even shout
Ppl sometimes ask people to join in chat as well
ty 🙂
You can shout or look for player with crown beside their name
be warned that some of them just wear the mentor crown because it looks cool, not because they actually wanna help
You can be helpful even without a mentor status
can swiftcast be combined with LB?

ah i see
With the context of Swift cast and LB in the previous question
I made the assumption that the question is "can I swiftcast and use Triplecast faster"
I don't understand this. At first I thought it was really OP food, but it's actually a decoration. But how can decorations give you a buff?
yes
it turns into an empty plate once you use them all though
its basically just displayable food
Alright. So this seems like garbage to me
Tempted to start ff14 since quarantine. I wasted my free month trial away last year. They have the FF14 starter edition on PSN for $19.99 is thay enough to start playing
@icy finch free trial doesn't expire
I meant i used the trial for a day or two then quit
you can redownload it and continue if you want
if you make an account during the old versions of the trial then you have to upgrade sadly
!faq gotrial
last year was still the current trial afaik
How?
Is there a entrance to the Goblet in Uldah or only just outside
Main aetheryte in each the 3 main cities
Oh nice
@icy finch well on PS4 you should just be able to download the launcher again from your library and log in
If you remember your details
Knowing how PS4 works anyway
Can I relocate if my storeroom status is like this? Or does the outdoor furnishing needs to be checked too
How do you instant rez?
hey guys- if i buy a code for the full game is there a time limit on how long i have to redeem it?, i saw the free trial can be play up to level 35 or something so i was wondering if i can play the trial version until that point
Yeah just play the trial until that point then purchase the game if you feel like. I believe thats how that works

No point in buying the game if theirs a trial you can play. If you like the game after the trial is over then purchase it.
@noble pollen by....casting swiftcast then raise?
Thanks, im not a healer but i was recently told i can instant rez as an archaist. Never really thought to until i 3maned sephiroth with some people.
The game is picking up for me, becoming a bit of a challenge, its time to learn some stuff
how do i search a player then blacklist him?
I don’t think you can blacklist people through player search anymore
i really want to blacklist this ebay player , but he hasnt said a word
ebay player?
A person who bought his character
hi ! i want to know something, i'm playing the free trial game and a friend say to me that i can play for 14 days, is that true ?
Way outdated
Unlimited time, can't go above level 35
Some social restrictions and whatnot
m'ok ! thank you !
hum just other question, i don't know what it is (the picture) i tought that we could have just one job or it is like FF3 we can collect spells and skills from other jobs ?
nope, you can be all jobs on one character
oh !
m'okay !
so our character is just like the Freelance job in a certain way ? but force to choose a job in game start ?
You just turn into that job when you equip theor weapon
Kinda, except you can't be job-less. Always have to have a weapon equiped, which determines the job
Your level is based on whatever level your current job you're on is
ok ! thank you !
When they dropping the augments for allegory stuff
Just went to nacille, a biocolor gemstone exchanger, to buy butterfly affect the minion but she wasn’t selling it even though everywhere on the internet says she does. Is there a prerequisite I need to do?
Do more fates in the area to rank up
Check the Shared fated screen
@late temple you can augment allegory gear via savage. Non savage method comes in 5.3 with the 24man and will require Copy factory's coin + the new one. As always, only armour and accessory augments will be available at the start with weapon augment trade ins added later

!faq altlvlguide
Thank you!
Try clicking “your account” again, sometimes it doesn’t show all the buttons right away
Hey yo, I hope this counts as a question.
I just downloaded reshade, EspressoGlow to be exact. The game was running absolutely fine before but now every time I try to load it, I get this error.
Anyone familiar with this problem?
is there an MGP guide?
Can you change your appearance and race?
!faq mgpguide
!item Fantasia
race/gender change is done with the fantasia, the story gives you one for free with the level 50 quest “The Ultimate Weapon” while any more need to be bought from the mogstation

The GATE section is a bit outdated with it having removed GATEs (skinchange and wind), but everything else should still be accurate
Any way the wind blows is still a thing, no?
Ah, right
On the Seph EX fight, after the 2 pillars come out the first time, I think I'm getting shot at by green balls from somewhere. What is that?
time of my life
That is a mechanic you need the green shield buff to feasibly survive
People with the orange debuff need to soak the pillars, people with the green debuff take the tethers
Pretty much only Paladin can feasibly solo Sephirot due to that phase
Then it's going to hit you really fucking hard
yeah but in a normal run how do you avoid it?
You avoid it by passong the tether to someone else
After you soak the towers you run to a spot the green AoE circles aren’t in.
No, just equip the items and talk to Masked Rose and choose the option to present for judging
I try to hug the edge and avoid them
wait equip what items? just whatever I want?
The orange buff doesn't go away after you take a hit at the tower right?
The items he wants to see for that week
This is the current week’s theme with the items figured out
Each theme has a set of items that work for it
No, the orange buff stays for the duration it says
It will be the tower, the tether and one or two of those orbs covering half the arena each
oh thanks!
yeah so when I'm orange, I run to a green buff person, pass it to them, then I run my ass to the edge of the arena, pretty much between where 2 of those orbs touch. There is a very small safe spot
Yep
What was weird is, after I passed the tether, I got hit by the green bullet like 2-3 seconds after
The green people can grab the tethers at the front so you do not need to run to them
not really a bullet but it wasn't the green orbs growing out of the ground
Then they didn’t grab your tether, it sounds like
at least, it looked like something got shot at me
Do you have a full party of 8?
Do note that you cannot pass the tether to someone who already has 1, and if you're 4 people or fewer, everyone will get one
no we're farming lanner, so we did 7, hard to find a full party. We were unsynced too
That’s why, sometimes there are only 3 green people
So they couldn’t grab all 4 tethers
this is the most miserable lanner to farm
Thankfully only Sephirot is like this
The others you can burn past a majority of mechanics
4.0 isn't this bad?
oh I misunderstood, this is the last bird I need so I assumed you meant SB
You still see most of the mechanics for the later ones, but nothing too jank caused by a smaller party size

Where do you get this?
That looks like nothing I've ever seen
is there anything I can do to make my cursor easier to see in battle?
with all the crap going on on my screen its hard to find sometimes
@leaden ginkgo That looks like another game entirely...
@leaden ginkgo became the bad guy
@sturdy mason
System Settings >> Mouse >> Use software cursor >> Change size to large
Besides that, you may need to look into mods
that's a screenshot from a different game as far as I'm concerned
@obsidian patio
Yeah, still nothing like that in FFXIV
People can post any image on the official forums
mod probably?
Hmm, ok, so I recently came back to play,
Just want to ask this quick question.
I had already recruited 5 friends but they have all stopped playing. But really want to recruit another friend for that managram mount (red Fenrir) is there anything I can do? Like removing one of the friend as my recruit?
You can recruit more people without issue
But you won’t get the feathers from them until they sub longer than your previous recruits did
that's from vindictus
its the dark knight transformation
@leaden ginkgo
so technically i guess dark knight is in the game?
question about GNB job quest
since it starts atlvl60, do I need to be in SHB t do the 60+ job quests?
i done the lvl60 ones
but forgot what it said about the subsequent one
no you just need to own SHB
From what I can tell with a brief skimming of the quests it does go to ishgard
as far as i remember the gnb job quests take place in arr and hw areas
so you don't need to be in shb but at least into heavensward?
Dancer on the other hand does go into stormblood areas for the level 70 quest.
neat thanks! post HW and thinking of catching up on my job quests... wait then again GNB doesnt have skills locked behind job quest until lv68
I think a lot of people made that mistake. 😄
it happens

Its a ritual, every crafter have to go through at least once
actually i didnt
cus common sense would imply its the same type of rings used in something like chainmail
or construction metal rings
or rings that form a metal chain
ah there it is
so many damn recipe books!!!
Is there a limit to how many level boosts you can buy, someone told me there used to be but not anymore?
no limit anymore
is there a limit to how many times I can go to Eureka?
nope
Hey guys, new player here (WoW refugee). I selected Light data center even though I don't know the difference between it and Chaos, now I see there is no preferred server (although Lodestone shows there are preferred ones atm). Should I wait until a preferred world pops up for EXP bonus or just start playing?
the EXP bonus is irrelevant imo
your entire game progress is tied to story progression
so even if you hit level 80, if you aren't doing the story quests you're about as useful as a level 1
That's what I thought.
and the base story XP is more or less going to get you to exactly 80
and if not, you can do some roulette dungeons to supplement
EXP bonus would've been best had on a 2nd job
the bonus exp isn't irrelevant
i also advise to take the game slow and enjoy the story
it'll make leveling thru the msq a lot smoother because you won't have to do as much to keep apace with msq lvl
I don't know how I should choose my server/data center though. Like the servers I can find active guilds/alliances and so on...
some of my friends who did it with a level boost were at like level 70 in heavensward
that's a bit overkill
yeah but its a lot better than playing catch up
not boost, I meant xp boost
i suppose so, if you play the game for like 12 hours a day
Imagine being in Heavensward with all lvl 70 jobs
I leveled pretty consistently over the span of a month or so and had MSQ or leveling roulette up whenever I needed to supplement
Well there are no preferred servers at the moment anyways. I don't know when they would show up
currently for light, the current preferred servers are zodiark and twintania
But I can't see the yellow stars next to them?
the yellow star is at server selection after character creation
not the character select screen
Oh I see
Do we know what iLvl 5.25 Relic weapons will be?
nope

does that XP boost apply to other jobs anyway?
yes
so if you had the patience you could literally hit 70 on every class in the game before shadowbringers?
which is why its strongly recommended, because you are assured 90 days with the buff so it makes leveling alt jobs a lot quicker
yes
i'm wrong on it being irrelevant then
I don't do savage content, I have 485 ruby weapon, however I am wondering if a 5iLvl increese to weapon will be worth it for 1000Allegory with a relic weapon coming up, or if I should spend the allegory on 490 armor instead
Tbh, if ur not doing savage, anyway you want it really?
just basing this off of eureka, its likely that the relic weapon will be around the same ilvl as ruby weapon, and if they follow eureka, may have 5 assured slots
so if you're going to do relic weapon anyway, may as well use allegory on the gear instead of the weapon
but if you're not doing savage, then it really doesn't matter in the long run because the ilvl increase doesn't really make or break anything
Twintania or Zodiark for a new player? Which one would you suggest?
whichever one is preferred
Both of them are preferred
then yes
Hey guys, i am trying to pop the queue for Castrum Meridianum for 2nd day not. Hours upon hours of wait. How can i reduce the queue time? I am dps
