Hey. I really dont understand this, someone can help me? Its says i have 0 item in my inventory

slate arrow

hoary storm
#

slate arrow
#

#

17% actually

#

i eyeballed high

steel citrus
#

"did you meet minimum collectibility" mm im new in this, how i do that? ><

slate arrow
#

did you use any touch actions during collectable synthesis

steel citrus
#

I just crafted them

hoary storm
#

they are collectables in the picture

#

Just need to hover over them and see if they meet the collectability

#

for that particular one its saying 220

slate arrow
#

collectibility = quality/10

steel citrus
#

Ah i undersand

slate arrow
#

in this case, you needed 2200 quality to be able to turn it in

steel citrus
slate arrow
#

are you hovering over them in your inventory

#

they only display their collectibility when you hover over the item itself, not when it's linked

steel citrus
#

Hmm i understnad, i will try it thank you!

spring magnet
#

which npcs should I go with for trust system? got to mention I already got to Il Mheg and I am drk

sullen galleon
#

If I'm picking up this game again, what's a good server for me to choose?

proud willow
#

There should be no major difference in the NPCs, you should pick whoever you want to see custom dungeon dialogue from, that's all

spring magnet
#

No buffs or so on?

#

Also what kind of dialogue?

proud willow
#

They say little things before and after each boss, or when you come up to a certain part of the dungeon

spring magnet
#

So no difference whatsoever

proud willow
#

and they have a couple things they say during combat

covert isle
#

What is the max Allowances for leves?

proud willow
#

if you don't have anyone you know who currently plays, that's pretty much the only determining factor when picking a server

sullen galleon
#

Oh dope thanks

twilit arch
#

you can have up to 100 leve allowances @covert isle

covert isle
#

Wow that's a lot, thanks

unreal mountain
#

Do you guys think the game will last for at least another year? o:

dusky nest
#

ofc

rough anchor
#

Out or curiosity, what’d happen during the post-SB MSQ quest where you gotta go yo the gold saucer if you hadn’t unlocked it yet?

bitter plaza
#

yeah Shadowbringers will last for another year

#

next expansion will probably release late June/early July 2021

unreal mountain
#

Ooo

slate arrow
#

@rough anchor your secondary quest automatically directs you to the Gold Saucer unlock quest if you don't have any job quests you immediately need to do

rough anchor
mellow wagon
#

are quicktongue and quickarm materia even viable

#

I dont notice any changes with all my stuff infused with lv 3 quicktongue stuff

#

or the change is not that big

obsidian patio
#

stats work in tiers

#

you need to reach the next tier for melds to do anything

#

!faq stats

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

For example, to have a GCD of 2.4 seconds you need a minimum of 1320 Skill/Spell Speed

#

to go from 2.40 to 2.39 you need 1421.

slate arrow
#

also it's not worth melding below level 80 atm because the tiers get all mucked up with every expansion so if you want to meld

mellow wagon
#

oh my fucking god that's barely half a second on the biggest number possible

slate arrow
#

it's always crit > direct > determination

obsidian patio
#

Only tanks really meld for Skill speed if needed

#

Black Mages can make good use out of it though

mellow wagon
#

im whm

obsidian patio
#

same thing

mellow wagon
#

people say get crit

#

which is odd

slate arrow
#

crit heals are powerful

obsidian patio
#

bigger heals = less mp/cooldowns needed to heal

mellow wagon
#

Oooh

#

idk it affects heal crits

#

Alright im getting crit materias

cold shore
#

opinions on ps4 controller mode? Is it worth learning, does it get all comfy and quite fast as kb+mouse? How is healing on controller?

#

I'm not sure if I should get kvm switch for kb+mouse or just learn the controller scheme think

random warren
#

i play exclusively on controller

slate arrow
#

oh ps4 FFXIV works with KBM natively

random warren
#

no issues so far

#

and yeah on ps4 it has native support as revo said

cold shore
#

I know

#

but I use kb+mouse on pc while playing on ps4

#

so that's why I'd want kvm to switch seemlessly with a button

#

but if controller is comfy enough then that won't be needed

random warren
#

been playing with controller since PS3 era without issue

slate arrow
#

it's not that easy with FFXIV since it's a toggle in the settings to swap between XHB and regular hotbars and I'm not sure if you can macro it

#

but anyways I know plenty of friends who use controller

#

world firsts regularly has a few controller users

cold shore
#

interesting

#

ok then I put some time into learning it

#

thx for info

slate arrow
cold shore
#

since it looks really thought out

#

oh thx

#

wait... 100 pages

How long do they usually take

jaunty crescent

oh nice already done then

#

Thanks

dawn mountain
#

Are cast at cursor macros doable? looking to make one for salted earth..

cold shore
#

look for mouseover macros

faint flare
#

You cant do it explicitly where the cursor is on the ground

#

You must target an actual target

#

Mouseovers just make the target whoever your cursor is over

dawn mountain
#

dang

oak ice
#

You can do a cast on self macro, which will basically guarantee to hit most things

opal lichen
#

IF you buy or make housing items but say you want to move to a bigger house do you lose the items in the process? Or can you keep them in the "storage" and re-use them in your new house?

dusky nest
#

you can keep the items

twilit arch
#

all items that are in your house currently get move to storehouse during relocation

#

might have to take a few things out if you hit the storehouse cap, but nothing should be deleted

opal lichen
#

Ok thankyou guys! Oh whilst I'm here also. I forgot the actual name of the map but (Jurassic Park) is that only available if you have an FC? Or can you also get there if you only have a private estate?

twilit arch
#

Diadem?

opal lichen
#

I think that's the official name for it yeah xD

twilit arch
#

it was reworked with the 5.2 patch, so its tied to ishgard restoration

#

it has no tie to free company airships anymore

opal lichen
#

ALright, thankyou Kael, I will look it up and see what I might need to do. Ooof a lot has changed since I was active last damn..

dawn mountain
#

if you get the job skip to level 70, do you still have to do the quests for the lower levels to unlock specific abilities?

twilit arch
#

no, the job skip completes all of the 1-70 class/job quests

warped nest
#

Take note that for Scholar and Summoner, it works the same way, it only finish the job quests for the job you boost

#

If you boost a summoner, you get Scholar at lvl 70, but none of the job quests completed

#

And vice versa

opal lichen
#

Just a thought, does that also unlock SMN to lv.70? You just need to do the jq?

#

oh you literally just answered my ques

#

😂

warped nest
#

So, boost SMN to 70, use your Arcanist to unlock SCH and then finish all 30-70 SCH quest

#

Or the other way around

frosty crater
#

Is it true that Light datacenter is inofficial German?

twilit arch
#

not really, its just Shiva that's known for its german community

dusky nest
#

shiva, odin, phoenix to some degree

hot eagle
#

wasn't it only the shiva world while moogle is french

frosty crater
#

ok so I should play on Light if I'm German to have access to some German communities?

dusky nest
#

you dont necessarily have to. germans are everywhere

mossy parrot
#

this is true, we are

frosty crater
#

I don't want to accidentally pick a dead server where not many ppl raid or whatever

twilit arch
#

duty finder is cross server anyway, and most of the servers are pretty balanced

#

so its going to be relatively hard to find an actually "dead" server

mossy parrot
#

I don't think there are any dead servers

frosty crater
#

kk

dusky nest
#

in JP maybe.. well "dead". but EU and NA are fairly balanced in general

frosty crater
#

I'll just go Shiva then

#

is it true you'll get 15 days of sub time if you reach level 30 on a preferred server?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

#

You can only get it once per account though

#

And...you don't get it if you are on the free trial when you hit that mark IIRC so you'd just have to make another character and rush to 30 again when you get the game

valid idol
#

how do i repair gear

#

is there a certain type of vendor?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah they have a hammer icon on the map

#

usually have mender in their name

white moth
#

Most of the

#

Yeah

#

Was about to say

wintry chasm
#

You can repair gear yourself too but it requires you to level crafting and have a specific item

valid idol
#

ooo ty

white moth
#

You'll need specific Crafters leveled up to level of your item as well for it

#

So if you want to easily repair all your gear you'll have to level up all Crafters to 80

junior haven
#

Ummm can anyone tell me how to make gil quickly? if there items that I can sell to vendors for quick cash

#

instead of relying on market board..

white moth
#

Level up your Crafters to level 30

#

And get desynthesis

twilit arch
#

you dont need specific crafter leveled up

#

to repair

white moth
#

Then desynth all items you get

#

And some drop demimaterias that sometimes can be sold up to 5k per thing

#

Keyword "up to"

#

And not all the time

twilit arch
#

er wait, no i'm thinking of melding

white moth
#

Yeah

twilit arch
#

you don't need to get to 80 tho

#

just 70 is fine, technically

white moth
#

For repairing you need

#

Oh yeah 70 then

#

I thought for 430 ilvl stuff you need 80

#

Good to know

whole wasp
#

they were thinking of changing it so any crafter can repair everything. but i dont think its in yet.

valid idol
#

#

SE give us Request Repair button kthx

whole wasp
#

no wait thats 70. try idyllshire if you cant find it

lament wagon
#

there's a guy in idyllshire who sells level 58 gear for scrips

junior haven
#

No like I literally have 0 gil lol... what can I do immediately to get gil I cant even teleport.

twilit arch
#

do your daily roulettes

junior haven
#

Thats the fastest way?

#

dont those take 30 to an hour to complete

opal lichen
#

guildhest takes less than 5mins

#

trials if you're lucky takes less than 10mins

valid idol
junior haven
#

Okay thank you.

opal lichen
#

roulette trials/guildhests give u less

lament wagon
#

the scrip exchange in rhalgr's reach doesn't even talk to me

whole wasp
#

esc -> hud layout. select the bar and click the cog

twilit arch
#

have you unlocked the idyllshire house of splendors?

whole wasp
#

alternatively, esc -> character config -> hotbar settings. check the bars you want

lament wagon
#

what do you mean unlocked

twilit arch
#

have you done the quest "Go West, Craftsman"?

whole wasp
#

its a bluequest

valid idol
#

ty i had em all turned off xD

lament wagon
#

yes I did it

#

ooh I found the guy in idyllshire

#

I can swear he only had level 50 gear before

whole wasp
#

i think reach long and prosper is the bluequest for rhalgr's reach

frosty crater
#

is there a way to see current preferred servers online?

#

and how long they will stay preferred

whole wasp
#

!faq worldstatus

zinc orbitBOT
whole wasp
#

no idea how long they stay preferred

#

but the buff lasts 90 days minimum

frosty crater
#

thanks

#

ah crap, Shiva is not preferred. Should I just ignore which server is German or whatever and pick preferred?

whole wasp
#

sure. dungeons/raids etc are cross world within the datacenter

#

so can consider picking in the same datacenter

#

twintania or zodiark are both fine

frosty crater
#

kk Zodiark seems to not allow new characters. Twintania it is 😄

undone nova
#

Just a general curious question, sometimes in duty finder people put ‘sale’ in descriptions for uhh raids and stuff (guessing advertisement ofc)

whole wasp
#

RMT is a bannable offense in game so its their poison

undone nova
#

Oof yikes

frosty crater
#

is it also bannable if they only want in-game currency for it?

whole wasp
#

but selling for gil is apparently legal but nobody talks about it

undone nova
#

It got me so confused on what like it even means

frosty crater
twilit arch
#

don't look at that site

#

pretty much any census available in unofficial and that one in particular is awful because of their metric for "active" cuts out a lot of people

frosty crater
#

okies

valid idol
open coral
#

Because your tank stance isn't activated.

#

Entering/leaving an instance will usually deactivate it.

valid idol
#

how do i reactivate it?

raw solstice
#

use the ability "iron will"

open coral
#

^

raw solstice
#

that is how you toggle on/off your tank stance

open coral
#

I couldn't remember what it was called.

valid idol
#

ok and is there any benefit to turning tank stance off?

warped nest
#

No

open coral
#

Situationally

warped nest
#

The only benefit is you will generate less aggro than the other tank in a 8 player party

open coral
#

If you're not the main tank in 2-tank content, you'll want to leave your tank stance off so you don't rip aggro from the main tank.

#

At least for the first few seconds of combat.

warped nest
#

For your case, just leave it on at all time

valid idol
#

oo

#

does iron will always last until i turn it off? swear it kept falling off in this dungeon i was doing

wintry chasm
#

It lasts forever

#

It's just a toggle

strange coral
#

It turns itself off when you enter a dungeon, but should stay on until the end after you turn it on

open coral
#

Yes, unless you're hitting the ability on your action bars, Iron Will should remain active.

twilit arch
#

it only turns off upon entering a dungeon if you level sync

open coral
#

My recommendation would be to put it on a secondary bar away from your active abilities.

valid idol
#

ooo

opal lichen
#

I made a macro that had something funny so that when I go into dung or whatever I had a process to remember or something that would trigger "wait do I have tank stance on?"

#

I've since.. Removed the macro and now don't need it anymore, so it's helped me always turn it on just incase it's off.

open coral
#

I just always make sure my tank stance gauge is located somewhere that I can't miss on my HUD

#

So if the stance turns off, it's the first thing I notice, and I can go turn it back on.

opal lichen
#

I know its not a question but i do remember paladin tanking in lower dungs without shield oath, I think sword oath was before then and you could only "flash spam" for aoe aggro and that was it. lol. I kinda miss it but also kinda dont. WAR tank stance was my favourite but yeah tanking now has become a lot more easier and with that being said.. I still remembered to not have my tank stance as a GNB lol

open coral
#

That would have been before ShB

opal lichen
#

Ye

open coral
#

Now all of the tanks have their aggro stance available from level 15/16 onwards.

warped nest
#

I think it is HW or ARR

#

Stormblood is where they start cleaning a lot of things up

open coral
#

I also remember Flash spam for PLD

#

That means it had to have been HW at the earliest.

opal lichen
#

Yeah I believe it was around the end of arr but I couldn't tell you.. Its been ages since I did that kinda leveling as a tank.

#

All I could say was you really had to remember your aggro rotations and get them down

lean minnow
twilit arch
#

its from the restoration

#

can also buy it off of the mogstation, its called Modern Aesthetics - Modern Legend

lean minnow
#

thanks a bunch

forest laurel
#

is there some sort of glamour database that has images for some items? I wanna see what kinda dresses are out there, or anything similar to the spring dress but with shoulders covered up

lean minnow
#

@twilit arch Any idea if its tradeable? I'm not in game rn. Also I don't seem to find in the mogstation 😦

twilit arch
#

er rip, i didn't mean mogstation

#

i mean marketboard

finite topaz
open coral
#

At rank 6 it should automatically level up.

#

As you use it.

#

You have to use it as your combat companion.

finite topaz
#

Ah right

#

so i fed it and now i took it out

#

killed a mob, it ranked up

twilit arch
#

yeah, if you're feeding it thru stable you will have to take it out and murder something for it to rank up

#

can't rank up via the stable

undone ledge
#

anyone else having connection issues

#

Prob another dumb question but how do u run an u synced raid? You tick undersized party right :o

twilit arch
#

yep

dusk zenith
#

what are the requirements to unlock master recipes 8?

twilit arch
#

unlock the eulmore house of splendors

dusk zenith
#

ohh okay

#

thanks

compact moth
#

Just started Astrologian! I see you can draw out one of six cards for team buffs, but what’s the purpose of having six when there’s only two different effects shared between six cards? Why not condense it down to 2 cards other than for aesthetic/ lore reasons?

faint flare
#

Because those different cards get an additional thing attached to them at 50

compact moth
#

So it will eventually be six cards with distinct properties?

faint flare
#

Called seals...there's 3 seals and each seal appears on both a ranged card and a melee card each, so you can get each seal while still playing the card on the "correct" role

opal lichen
faint flare
#

Transmute at mutamix or sell it on MB if prices are high

forest laurel
#

prob best to just sell it
idk if transmuting them has the chance to make a higher tier materia

faint flare
#

Toss the main stat materia

#

Or definitely transmutw it

#

Transmute has a small chance to upgrade its tier

opal lichen
#

aight thanks peeps

pseudo pawn
#

Can I hide the numbers and lock-symbol at the side of the hotbars?

faint flare
#

Some lower grade materia is needed for Arr relic so check MB prices

twilit arch
#

the numbers yes

#

the lock, no

faint flare
#

Character config > hotbar > toggle hotbar numbers

twilit arch
#

well, the lock can be hidden but you have to hide it behind another UI element

pseudo pawn
#

ah! thanks a lot

opal lichen
#

You see my problem with hotbars? how do I stop unwanted skills from showing on my hotbars?

twilit arch
#

you need to untick that hotbar in the sharing section of character config

opal lichen
#

ok but now i have the problem that when i go back to the job relating to that skill i didnt want, its no longer there.

#

So, would i need to "unshare" for each button layout i have?

strange coral
#

Shared bars stay the same between all jobs. Unshared bars are specific to each job. If you want to have a button be the same on all jobs that's on an unshared bar, you'll have to add it yourself for each job.

opal lichen
#

how would i do that?

strange coral
#

Do what? Add actions to a bar?

opal lichen
#

This is what it looks like atm.

#

and i have hotbar4 and 7 which i dont use outside of the tank roles.

strange coral
#

Ok, so hotbar 1,2,3 are unshared, so they change between jobs. The rest stay the same when you switch.

#

If you want to hide 4 and 7 on all jobs but tanks, you'll have to use separate hud layouts, or make a macro button to toggle them on/off.

opal lichen
#

thats why when i switch back and forth from tanks I still see the hotbars

#

ohh

strange coral
#

Or alternatively, unshare 4 and 7, and just don't put anything on them for non-tanks

#

They'll still technically be there, but with empty button slots

#

Although you'll have to put your stuff on them for each tank since they wont be shared anymore

opal lichen
#

yeah i think the alternative which is easier is to just have a another hud layout for tanks

#

but would i not still have the same issue though?

#

as if im playing any of the other tanks iwould still see the other jobs skills on my hotbars?

strange coral
#

If they are on shared bars, yes

opal lichen
#

my 1 braincell is struggling but i got the gist of it

#

ok thankyou for explaining it to me

strange coral
#

Do you not use 1-3 on tanks?

#

Or only for the other jobs?

opal lichen
#

So I use hotbars 1-3 (special abilities have hotbars 4 AND 7) but not all tanks have said "similar" abilities so those hotbars arent needed. but the ones i play do

lyric warren
#

what does sadface icon meanon the name?

twilit arch
lyric warren
#

y

strange coral
#

OH nevermind, ignore my answer

twilit arch
#

it means they've set their status to busy

#

so they can't receive tells or be traded with

lyric warren
#

aah ok ty

opal lichen
#

its because i keep things organised in my head throughout all jobs (relatively speaking) AoE's are associated with the numbers (4, so hotbar1 button 4, hotbar 2 button CTRL4, hotbar 3 SHIFT4, hotbar 4 SHIFTF because it's in-line with the row of 4s)
C and F buttons which are on hotbar7 usually are abilities which are used in niche moments so I have access to them but I rarely use them for anything other TB's or I see MNKS in AoE so I press "cover" for them etc

hybrid hamlet
#

How do i unlock the frontline roul?

strange coral
#

Do the Like Civilized Men and Women quest, at your grand company HQ I think

#

Level 30 quest

cunning palm
#

can you reduce skills cooldown time?

strange coral
#

Yes, with skill speed or spell speed stats, depending on job

hybrid hamlet
#

I'll check

#

Thanks

cunning palm
#

so spell speed doesnt reduce cast time but cooldown time?

strange coral
#

I think it reduces both. I'm not sure because I don't play casters often, at least not in end game stuff

#

If you mouse over it in the character window, it should say

twilit arch
#

no

#

spell/skill speed doesn't reduce cd on skills

#

if its 90s cd, its always a 90s cd

mortal current
#

Your actions are grouped into weaponskills/spells and abilties. The former's casting time and cooldown can be reduced by skillspeed and spellspeed. The latter can't be reduced through stats.

pseudo pawn
#

Should I be saving the teleport tickets you get when you begin the game for later levels or just spend them right away?

faint flare
#

Teleporting doesn't cost much until you get to stormblood areas, cause going from some areas there to others cost the teleport cap of 999 gil

why is there no hunting channel here :P?

mortal current

Well hunt discussions would mainly be focused on their own dc, and considering that each dc has their dedicated hunt discord(s), they probably wouldn't get all that much use.

thats true

yeah

i have a feeling not a lot of people do hunts

are there any shoulder-high gloves/sleeves for all classes? preferably ones that don't cover the hands

faint tartan
#

What’s the most desired healer in parties right now in the game?

dusky nest
#

any as long as you can play it well

faint flare
#

Aka competent healers

faint tartan
#

Makes since. Is there an abundance of one type right now or it well rounded.

faint flare
#

Of healers or roles?

faint tartan
#

Healers

faint flare
#

I think spread of healerd are roughly equal...with astro with the lower numbers

faint tartan
#

Yeah I heard Astro is quite hard to play and the reward is just not as great for learning it. Does look fun though. I been mainly stuck between scholar and white mage. Mainly leaning toward white mage right now

ocean crescent
#

Just looking at the logged statistics for savage eden 5-8. Astro is well below in how many there are doing that content compared to the other two

#

White mage is the most represented. Scholar kinda close behind.

faint flare
#

Yeah...thought astro would be behind

faint tartan
#

Seems to me like you always need a white mage in the party

faint flare
#

Most vets didn't really like the changes astro got in Shadowbringers so it put those people.off

#

Nah, but whm healing output is high

twilit arch
#

whm isn't needed

faint flare
#

A good astro can handle a fair chunk

twilit arch
#

its just a lot easier to play

#

ast has to work a bit harder than a whm does

faint flare
#

Astro kit is powerful if you plan around it

#

Star and horoscope can be pretty good

#

And neutral sect

faint tartan
#

So Astro can be really good if the person behind it is

mellow cargo
#

Just for perspective, unless you're talking about top 1% endgame content, the most desired healer is a competent one, regardless of the specific job.

#

FFXIV's class balance is very good if you're coming from other MMOs, the player is more important than the class once you get past the general category (i.e. ranged/magic/melee dps)

faint tartan
#

Awesome that’s what I like to hear

Meta Jobs FAQ
Info

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

faint flare
#

As always

mellow cargo
#

so if you're thinking along the lines of "RDM is useful when progging but not as desirable once you have it on farm", but you LIKE RDM, then who cares just play RDM

Except SAM, eff those guys

Should I pay attention to the blue quest dialogues to understand the story or can I safely skip most of it?

Using the trial atm and want to buy the complete collectors edition, firstly do i get all the ingame items from each of the expansion packs and how do i keep my lvl 35 tank and healer going from trail to full ?

twilit arch
#

yes, the complete collector's edition gives you all the collector's items for each expansion

#

you're given a code to input on mogstation that upgrades your account from trial to full game

dusty jungle
#

and you don't need to do anything, just upgrade your account and your characters are fine including their progress and levels

restive knot
#

so dont really need to install anything after purcahse ?

twilit arch
#

You'll have to download the expansions, but that's pretty much it

faint tartan
#

Is there good pvp content in this game?

twilit arch
#

which the game will do when you log in after upgrading

mellow cargo
#

The launcher will take care of it for you once you upgrade your account.

restive knot
#

ty

twilit arch
#

@faint tartan pvp is pretty niche in this game, so unless there's an event happening with frontlines or a new feast season queues for it can be fairly slow

faint tartan
#

So the end game is hugely based around raids

mellow cargo
#

And glamour.

faint tartan
#

I do like my fashion wars

dusty jungle
#

It is all about glamour. But yes, end game gear progression revolves around raids.

#

and housing pvp

topaz scroll
#

for skill macros why do people repeat the lines to use the skills?

#

for instance:

/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>

?

twilit arch
#

because macros are fincky so having multiple lines ensures that the macro will go off properly

topaz scroll
#

Ohh Got it

#

on the topic of macros, do DRK's usually use a macro to weave salted earth into rotations?

#

I find it slow to click on the ground

forest laurel
#

I find that a macro does help with that
I haven't played DRK yet tho, so my only experience with that sort of thing is WHM's Asylum

topaz scroll
#

Thanks guys!

forest laurel
#

don't forget that you can also drop it on yourself with the macro if you want to
like /ac "Salted Earth" <me>

Monk is fast punchy boi, lots of self buffs and has a raid buff and Mantra is nice. Every attack is a positional

Sam is selfish dps, cycles through 3 combos to do a big weebabo slash for TONS OF DAMAGE.jpg...no raid buffs, has 2 positionals

Drg has a very static rotation and more about optimizing jumps and managing Life of the Dragon windows. Has battle litany and Dragon sight for buffs..has 3 positionals

Ninja is the trick attack boi, mudras are nice and can somewhat be a pseudo ranged temporarily, has Huton for a fast GCD but not as fast as monks greased lightning, has 2 positionals

So I just restarted as I didnt get very far. During the free trial, anything that I can use to helo boost exp ir just buy food and do quest? Also I chose Thaumaturge, will that work for a black mage? When will I be able to switch from Thaumaturge to black mage?

strange coral
#

At level 30 there will be a quest at the thaumaturge guild to upgrade to black mage, provided you did the previous thaumaturge quests already

oak ice
#

You also need to do the level 22-ish MSQ called "Sylph Management"

mortal nebula
#

Ugh. This trial thing has me worried. Wish they allowed all access. I want to go out and buy te expansion but ive never played an mmo before so no idea if I will like it

oak ice

And yes, spamming through MSQ is the best time/EXP

gritty oracle
#

Anyone know how much money will I be charged for adding Crysta from a Visa card? Like, what's the fee for the transaction?

mortal nebula

So if I buy a 1 month subscription for 14.99 I will be able to access full game minus the expansions and have all content from level 1 - 50 and decide after if I want to buy the expansions and keep playing?

little swift
#

you need to purchase teh base game A Realm Reborn

#

registering the base game to your square enix account via mogstation will give you 30 days of play time

#

you can choose to buy Shadowbringers afterwards and that has all the other expansions bundled into it

#

@mortal nebula

#

or alternatively you can buy the complete edition and it has everything, with it working out ot roughly the same price

lyric warren
#

can u see gemstone quantity without going to the vendors?

twilit arch

yes in the shared fate menu

little swift

are you talking about your bicoloured gemstones from fates?

aa yes

little swift
#

yes its under travel > shared fates as kael said

lyric warren
#

wait what is this rank system in the shared fate?

little swift
#

@twilit arch you got any suggestions for how i can get rid of an extra master recipe book i accidentally bought

#

you need to do certain amount of fates in an area to rank up to get more items available to buy

#

6 fates to rank 2

#

60 more after that to rank 3

#

66 fates per area and 6 areas to do it

lyric warren
#

i see so its just for items, is it anything worthwhile like pets or something?

iirc there are some collectable things at rank 3

they may have added some stuff since then but heres a list

What is the difference between the two?

Flying is yours (and what damage you take), pop up is everyone else, be it their damage numbers and buffs they receive

Do I buy the game on steam or square enix website? I am curious if walmart sells gift crads I could use

faint flare
#

If you buy on steam, you're forced to buy everything via steam

#

All future expansions must be brought from steam and you cant use other retailers if they have sales

obsidian patio
#

Square Enix website currently has a sale on shadowbringers and the complete edition

faint flare
#

Also this

mortal nebula
#

I downloaded FF 14 through steam but the square site says I have to purchase it on steam. Steam has it alot more expensive

obsidian patio
#

Yeah you’re stuck on steam unless you make a new account entirely. :/

mortal nebula
#

Should I just unisnatll it from steama and buy it here? does this one on the site include a month?

faint flare
#

No you need a new account

obsidian patio
#

All versions of the base game/complete edition include a month of subscription.

faint flare
#

And yes it gives a month free whenever you register the base game

mortal nebula
#

So download it, make a new account and I will have all expansions and a free month for 35.99?

obsidian patio
#

Yep.

#

Do note you want the complete edition, not collector’s, unless you want the vanity stuff from collector’s

mortal nebula
#

sweet, so uninstall from steam, buy it from square after I make a new email account?

faint tartan
#

How do classes work in the beginning in the game. Many videos have hinted at like your class being selected later. How do I get into being a healer.

mortal nebula
#

so collectors for 35.99 dont have eveerything I need?

obsidian patio
#

Collector’s is only Shadowbringers with a few extra vanity items

mortal nebula
#

oh. thanks!

faint flare
#

Once you hit lv10 and do the job quest, you can swap to any job you unlock

#

By equipping their weapon

#

Only healer you can start off as is conjurer (white mage)

faint tartan
#

Awesome

#

So I can’t buy the cheap version on the website if I have steam

faint flare
#

Scholar needs arcanist lv30 but arcanist is a full dps...astro needs lv50 and all Arr story done

faint tartan
#

Or at least I can’t use same account

obsidian patio
#

Correct, Steam and PC non-steam cannot be bought on the same account.

faint tartan
#

dang

#

That’s fine

#

So no matter what you start as a white mage

mortal nebula
#

Uninstalling steam now

faint tartan
#

Can sorta see if I like it

strange coral
#

You start as conjurer and later upgrade to white mage

Along with the usual daily/weekly stuff of the grand company daily turn-in’s and the challenge log, along with Namazu beast tribe past 60 if you have them unlocked

mortal nebula
#

If I purchase the game, will there be anyone who has experience and making a new character willing to help me out and show me the ropes?

dusty jungle
#

This community generally has no shortage of people willing to help out. You should purchase the trial and experiment with characters and how you like the game before buying it, though. You can play for free up to level 35.

mortal nebula
#

From what I am seeing, they come with exp equipment and stuff?

#

@dusty jungle I only considered buying it as you lose a lot of features playing trial. I was going to buy it through wsebsite instead of through steam as website has complete for 35.99 and steam is 60 still

#

And I dont want to progress in trial to 35 as I have to make a new account completely and will lose all progress.

junior yacht
#

no? if you go from trial to full game you can keep your character

#

you don't have to start over

forest laurel
#

yeah but they'll have to make a brand new account

#

since they're playing on steam for now

#

steam and non-steam are completely separate

junior yacht
#

but you can have steam and non-steam on the same account

#

you don't have to start over

twilit arch
#

they would be starting over

#

you can have steam and non steam on the same "admin" mogstation account, but they would ultimately be two different service accounts

#

that don't have the same characters

Hello.
How do you get the ability to spend your Yellow scrips on level 60+ items? My friend can only spend them on 50 or Master Recipes, and I can't find how to unlock the rest of the options. TCDthink

lapis crown
#

Friends convinced me to play this game, their server was full. So I rolled on another server since you could transfer to the full one, but not create a character there.
I waited out the 3 days to transfer my character to the realm my friends play on and now i have a 3 month timer saying I cant server transfer because i "played on an xp boosted realm" while the realm im trying to transfer to is also xp boosted. Do I really just not get to play with my friends?

mortal nebula
#

Yeah and steam wants 60 dollars for complete edition. does steam price match?

gritty oracle
#

So, if I'm not a FC officer, do I have any use of Unaspected Crystals? According to the internet, they're only good for company action stuff.

twilit arch
#

70/80 stuff requires you to unlock the Rhaglr's Reach and Eulmore house of splendors @coarse elbow

mortal nebula
#

I want to be able to join a free company.

junior yacht
#

that doesn't make any sense. you can share chracters across PS4 and PC versions, why not steam?

twilit arch
#

because steam fills the same slot as pc

#

so you're either steam or you're nonsteam for pc

faint flare
#

@lapis crown just world visit to their world to play with.them. Go to any major city aetheryte and visit their world

junior yacht
#

🤔 that's really dumb

lapis crown

yeah but like i wont even be able to be in their fc or visit the housing or whatever

faint flare
#

You can visit housing just not buy

twilit arch

@gritty oracle can ask your FC if they want/need them, but otherwise just sell/toss em

#

i have been hearing both

twilit arch

we're getting new main hands with 5.25, basically a crafter's version of relic weapon

#

its assumed that 5.3 will bring a full new set

dusk zenith
#

are those usually better than the facet ones?

#

/crafted ones

mortal nebula
#

I tried joining and world that had experience bonus and it wouldnt let me join 😦

twilit arch
#

we have no idea how much better the skysteel stuff is going to be, but the next crafter set is most likely going to be BiS (and be the final set)

slate arrow
#

initially no but the patch versions will eventually be better than the new Penta melded crafting gear according to what I remember from the live letter

rich bay
#

The facet tools and the 5.3 upgrade are better then the skysteel tools at first, but they will become the best tools in 5.5x.

Mounts FAQ
Info

'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.

For the classes you can start as, Gladiator eventually becomes Paladin which has a heal it can use on themselves if they need to.

For the expansion jobs, Red Mage is a caster DPS with a healing spell they can also use if needed

Get to level 10, do the class quest at level 10 and then go to any guild you want to unlock the class for

pastel pond
#

Thanks so much!

oak ice
#

Then it's as easy to switch as to equip a different weapon

#

Can also make gear sets to make switching even easier

Thanks for helping out a noob

has the server ragnarok kept the legacy status for a long time? was thinking of moving there but saw that . I know they do it on some servers like twintania at times and i just wait a bit and then create one. so was wondering if they actually dont accept new ppl or if its a temporary thign?

oak ice
#

!serverstatus ragnarok

#

!status ragnarok

faint flare
#

The legacy status doesn't mean anything for new players

#

Really

#

Its a server where 1.0 players can get their stuff back

#

From those old days

Are there any <70 scrip mats worth selling? I'm capped on scrips and nowhere to spend and I don't want to buy the recipes

i know people you share your estate with cannot reset the auto demo timer but can they see the timer in the menu?

Yes

Tenants see the demo timer too?

I believe so?

The allied beast tribe quests dont have a continuity, the villain doesnt seem to recognize you even if you have done the other ones before?

obsidian patio
#

Probably not

faint flare
#

Alot are calling fake news

#

Only people who received the auto demo notices are ones who werw close already

#

Everyone I spoke to hasn't seen the notice

#

Even those who entered their houses recently

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, both of my houses were fine (Personal/FC)

faint flare
#

Same

open coral
#

A couple of folks from one of my FCs found their homes erroneously on the auto-demo list.

#

But had not received an email about it.

faint flare
#

Email is always slow

leaden ginkgo
#

what are player commendations and what do they do?

#

commends are just a feel good thing

#

at the end of a duty, each player can pick one other player to give a commend

#

sort of a like

#

oh

#

the total number isn't really important, but getting commends after doing a hard duty properly is a nice feeling

#

pro tip: rarely ever give samurais commends, they almost never deserve it

#

unless, like, the samurai is the only other player actually doing anything, lol

strange coral
#

I feel attacked 😛

#

(only because I'm leveling sam atm)

#

Also you can get rewards for reaching comm milestones, like 50, 100, etc collected. And then there's a challenge log entry to give comms which rewards extra exp iirc

frosty crater
#

I find some armour from quest rewards looks cool. Will I be able to get them later on the market for glamour or are some exclusive rewards only obtainable from MSQ?

obsidian patio
#

Most of the armor you get can be obtained in another method.

#

Any MSQ-exclusive stuff can be bought back from the Calamity salvager in the main city-states

frosty crater
#

okies ty

leaden ginkgo
#

i assume tanks get commends a lot?

obsidian patio
#

TBH I think tanks usually get the most since they’re at the top of the list

#

And people just choose them by default

strange coral
#

It varies. If I tank, I usually pick healer. If I heal, I pick tank, and if I dps, I pick the other dps.

obsidian patio
#

I generally default my comms to healers that do damage and DPS that do great

leaden ginkgo
#

i see, thanks doge_love

lyric warren
#

what does this mean: The smell of death has drawn a Forlorn maiden to the battlefield!

strange coral
#

I've been tanking MSQ roulette a lot lately to level tank jobs. Usually when I take charge and MT I get one comm sometimes. Then yesterday I sat back and let the other tank do everything, got 5 comms shrug

obsidian patio
#

FATES can sometimes spawn a maiden that when killed boosts the EXP you’ll get from the next fate

faint flare
#

It.means a forlain maiden.has appeared nearby

#

Kill it for.a buff that gives alot.of extra xp on the next fate in the area

frosty crater
#

Are fates still kinda useless to do while leveling or endgame? or has anything changed?

leaden ginkgo
#

also might be a more common question but what's the best way to level alt jobs?

junior yacht
#

FATEs are good to do while waiting for queues to pop, since 70-80 has no PotD equivalent

#

there are also special merchants now that trade in tokens from FATEs

#

the best way to level alt jobs is the same as leveling your first job, minus doing MSQ

#

Daily Roulettes -> PotD/Highest-level dungeon + FATEs

proud willow
#

There are rewards for getting commendations btw

#

There's a mount at 500 and another at 3000, plus some other things

leaden ginkgo
#

general opinion basedquestion, how hard do u find it to heal on controller?

bright badger
#

Do I have to beat SB to get white scrips

obsidian patio
#

It takes a bit to get used to scrolling through the party list, but it’s definitely something you can manage

open coral
#

As someone who heals on controller, it's not particularly difficult once you figure out the best way to scroll to individuals in the party.

obsidian patio
#

Not sure about earning white scrips, but you definitely need to have started ShB to spend them

bright badger
#

I guess I'm just not sure where to do so then

#

@leaden ginkgo What kind of controller

leaden ginkgo
#

im using xbox but i can get another if its "easier"

open coral
#

The biggest hurdle to controller healing, imo, is figuring out how you want to prioritize your crossbars.

bright badger
#

I personally prefer PS4 for healing

#

I use the touchpad to hover the cursor over the main tank then use dpad for scrolling

#

Then I can tap touchpad to instantly switch back to main tank

open coral
#

And then learning to swap between your primary and secondary bars when you need to use an ability that isn't on the primary ones.

bright badger
#

Swapping bars is muscle memory mostly

open coral
#

Yeah, but it takes time and practice to learn to do it quickly and efficiently in the middle of a hectic mechanics fight to get the abilities cast that you need.

#

It's basically an additional gcd to swap between bars.

leaden ginkgo
#

and this is for any healer?

#

what healer do u main?

bright badger
#

Yep

leaden ginkgo
#

both of u

#

oh ok..

bright badger
#

I main WHM but dabble in Astro

#

I keep all skills except buffs on bar 1, buffs like Lucid Dreaming on bar 2

open coral
#

I also main WHM

leaden ginkgo
#

ty 🙂

#

for the insights ><

faint flare
#

Make use of the xhb and wxhb

open coral
#

I keep my offensive and primary healing skills on my main bar, and stuff like Lucid Dreaming, Temperance, Thin Air, and Asylum on secondary bars.

bright badger
#

^same, more or less what I was trying to say

#

Use a HB setup that is most comfortable for you

open coral
#

And I have all of those macroed to /echo a sound effect to me so I know that they're off cooldown

bright badger
#

I just put keyboard hotbars on the side so I can see them

leaden ginkgo
#

oh ok 🙂

obsidian patio
#

I just use a normal hotbar to track my cooldowns

open coral
#

I don't use the extra bars. I never figured out how to activate them and eventually gave up as it being more trouble than it was worth

#

Also that looks hella cluttered.

faint flare
#

I.just hide the double tap hotbars until pressed

obsidian patio
#

My brain somehow makes it work

#

Don’t look at my melee bars though, they’re supposedly super cursed with how I place my skills

open coral
#

Yeah, I like to keep my HUD fairly clear so I can have a better view of incoming aoe mechanics.

#

Personal preference stuff.

bright badger
#

@obsidian patio I'll show you my drg hotbar someday

#

It has so much flexibility in combos I cant even begin to think where to put everything

obsidian patio
#

👀 💦

faint flare
bright badger
#

Wow

obsidian patio
#

I don’t play melee that often though

bright badger

That is very close to mine

Wow, that is cursed

Making an alt specifically imitating the look of Fate's Lancer. Trying to decide between Midlander Face 1, 4, or 6. Thoughts?

bright badger
#

Whichever is the most daddy

cold crescent
#

I don't know what that means

open coral
#

Do you have screenshots of those faces?

cold crescent
#

Yes

open coral
#

Can you post them here?

cold crescent
open coral
#

I'd go with 4

#

Actually no, I take that back.

#

4's jaw is too square.

cold crescent
#

Yeah, it's a bit better if I change it ot the type 2 jaw

open coral
#

Oh, yeah, that's perfect.

#

Do that

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys another question lol

#

Does anyone know what any rp scene is like

#

Is it any server or is to server really a thing

cold crescent
#

I'd mainly say Crystal datacenter

leaden ginkgo
#

I like tilting the camera to adjust my view of the arena. Helps a lot with AoEs

cold crescent
#

Balmung is the most famous for RP, followed by maybe Mateus?

open coral
#

Crystal is the "RP" datacenter, with Balmung being the main hub for RP

#

Servers are pretty agnostic within datacenters since you can world visit to any server on your datacenter.

#

The only reason to pick a specific server is if there is a FC you want to join.

leaden ginkgo
#

So true

#

Ty for that:)

#

there... used to be specific cultures to each server

#

And friends to save you a bit of hassle

#

idk if that's still a thing

bright badger
#

Balmung Quicksand

#

Is its own server

open coral
#

I have a character on Zalera. I have chosen to avoid Balmung on the grounds that I assume it's like Moonguard server in WoW.

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't know what it means but I assume it can't be good yikes

cold crescent
#

THere are parts that are like that, but it's also the biggest server in Crystal

open coral
#

@leaden ginkgo WoW's Moonguard server is widely known as the ERP server. The inn in the human starting town (Goldshire) is a particular hotbed of this. Whether deserved or not, Moonguard has a... very terrifying reputation amongst non-RPers in WoW.

leaden ginkgo
#

That's a big yikes from me

jaunty vigil
#

Is there a keyboard shortcut for selecting yes/no or cycling through response options

#

When I take the lifts at limsa lominsa the 'confirm' defaults to 'no'

leaden ginkgo
#

4 0 works

#

4 moves the cursor to the left and 0 selects it

#

Maybe that's what you want

jaunty vigil
#

Is that numpad4?

#

Ah thanks it works! @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo

I forgot to mention it but I'm glad you got it 😄

hi guys

#

i need help in a dungeon

open coral
#

Which dungeon and what kind of help?

remote leaf
#

main quest the tam tara deepcroft

#

its taking ages to join

open coral
#

If you're a dps role, that's not surprising.

#

It will also depend a bit on your server.

#

Local time, etc.

remote leaf
#

yeah i figured as much

#

iv been waiting for about an hour

open coral
#

What server/datacenter are you on?

remote leaf
#

im on adamantois

#

north america

open coral
#

That's Aether DC

#

It's about dinner time for people on that server.

#

You might have better luck in an hour or so.

remote leaf
#

oh ok

#

this all new to me first online game

#

i still need a lot to learn

leaden ginkgo
#

I could recommend trying a tank or healer. You might like one of the classes and in return get very fast queues 😄

warped nest
#

I personally recommend a tank

leaden ginkgo
#

Same

open coral
#

If you're still having trouble finding a queue in an hour or so, @ me here and I can get on my healer on Aether and help you out.

warped nest
#

Easy rotation, just need to be aware of enemy position and aggro

#

And cycle your defensive skills

remote leaf
#

to be honest im thinking of going for paladin or dark knight

leaden ginkgo
#

Gladiator/Paladin looks super fun from what I played

open coral
#

Either one is a solid choice.

warped nest
#

Dark Knight is slightly gated

forest laurel
#

Dark Knight is unlockable once you access Heavensward

warped nest
#

By your story progression

open coral
#

Paladin is the only one you can access before you reach the first expansion content.

leaden ginkgo
#

Can only do Dark Knight once you reach HW

forest laurel
#

The only tank classes you can access now are Gladiator/Paladin and Marauder/Warrior

warped nest
#

Your starting choices are Gladiator or Marauder

bright badger
#

So is there any reason to use Blizzard I as BLM

open coral
#

YES

warped nest
#

Yes

bright badger
#

I'm only level 32 right now

warped nest
#

It is your filler when you regen MP in Umbral Ice

open coral
#

Using Blizzard will give you Ice Aspect and restore your MP

leaden ginkgo
#

I played a lot of Marauder/Warrior and not so much Gladiator. I like Gladiator a lot more 😅

oak ice
#

Not when you get Blizzard 3

faint flare
#

At least.until blizzard 3

#

After that bliz 1 falls off

bright badger
#

But cant I just transpose my MP back

warped nest
#

Lvl 32 BLM people

#

Tranpose give you Umbral Ice

faint flare
#

Yes but higher stacks of ice regen it faster

open coral
#

Transpose just swaps you between Umbral Ice/Astral Fire.

faint flare
#

And you want to be full.mana asap

warped nest
#

You just do nothing in Umbral ice and wait for MP?

faint flare
#

1 stack of.ice.fills.slowly

remote leaf
#

as for the healers is the conjurer the best one?

faint flare
#

So you need.filler other than just thunder application

warped nest
#

Use Blizzard I as filler

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

@white sinew you get a code

leaden ginkgo
#

A lot of people find Conjurer/White Mage boring but you could try it

remote leaf
#

@get

warped nest
#

Square Enix store and XIV account management aren't tied together

bright badger
#

There is nothing boring about BIGGEST HEALS

#

And BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD LILY

leaden ginkgo
#

correct

#

Arcanist unlocks Scholar but... You'll have to level up a DPS first

warped nest
#

Yes, is this code sent to me immediately by a bot or do I have to wait for a human?
@white sinew computer generated, but the transaction needs to go through first

open coral
#

It's a system monitored process. A human will only get involved if there's a problem.

warped nest
#

Fully automated unless it needs review, standard procedure for any big online selling site

oak ice
#

It was pretty instant for me way back, and I haven't heard many complaints about it

warped nest
#

Usually it takes between 5-15 minutes

bright badger
#

SO IF UMBRAL ICE GIVES ALL MY MP BACK

leaden ginkgo
#

Could also buy it on Steam, assuming you're buying the PC version...

bright badger
#

WHAT IS TRANSPOSE FOR

#

whoops, didnt mean to caps

warped nest
#

Get you into Umbral Ice in early levels

#

Or at high level, get you into Umbral Ice without needing to cast a spell on an enemy

open coral
#

To switch between Umbral Ice/Astral Fire if you won't have enough time (or at early levels MP) to cast Fire 3/Blizzard 3

bright badger
#

Oh I see

faint flare
#

You need transpose prior to bli/fire 3

bright badger
#

So if you're on the move you can get into Umbral Ice

open coral
#

Yes

#

Or Astral Fire

bright badger
#

Oooooooh that's smart

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright. Steam had a pretty good discount (I think -60% on the complete pack) a while back but too late now

faint flare
#

Since.fire 1/bliz 1 removes the stack first then the next use.gives stack

open coral
#

It's a way to maintain at least one stack between pulls at higher levels.

faint flare
warped nest
#

Blizzard III or Fire III (plus a few high level spell) can dance between Astral Fire 3 and Umbral Ice 3

#

Low level fire or ice spell just cancel the opposite element buff

leaden ginkgo
#

Fairly sure you can because there is an option to buy the collector's stuff separately on the mogstation

faint flare
#

Well you can use Freeze when you get it to dance.to Ice

#

Since that gives full ice stacks

#

Prior.to.bliz 3

leaden ginkgo
#

(but real talk I wouldn't buy it unless you really want the goodies)

@cold crescent Do the training for Strength/Mind. It will deduct 40 points from Tactical and distribute 20 to Strength and Mind
