At 80?
Hey. I really dont understand this, someone can help me? Its says i have 0 item in my inventory
But i have 3 of them
did you meet minimum collectibility
pretty sure bloodbath doesn't change even at level 80
I see
"did you meet minimum collectibility" mm im new in this, how i do that? ><
did you use any touch actions during collectable synthesis
I just crafted them
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
Ah i undersand
in this case, you needed 2200 quality to be able to turn it in
Its says "???"
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

which npcs should I go with for trust system? got to mention I already got to Il Mheg and I am drk
If I'm picking up this game again, what's a good server for me to choose?
There should be no major difference in the NPCs, you should pick whoever you want to see custom dungeon dialogue from, that's all
They say little things before and after each boss, or when you come up to a certain part of the dungeon
So no difference whatsoever
and they have a couple things they say during combat
What is the max Allowances for leves?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ lists the status for all the NA worlds and you probably want a Preferred server so you get the XP bonus
if you don't have anyone you know who currently plays, that's pretty much the only determining factor when picking a server
Oh dope thanks
you can have up to 100 leve allowances @covert isle
Wow that's a lot, thanks
Do you guys think the game will last for at least another year? o:
ofc
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?
yeah Shadowbringers will last for another year
next expansion will probably release late June/early July 2021
Ooo
@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

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
stats work in tiers
you need to reach the next tier for melds to do anything
!faq stats
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.
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
oh my fucking god that's barely half a second on the biggest number possible
it's always crit > direct > determination
Only tanks really meld for Skill speed if needed
Black Mages can make good use out of it though
im whm
same thing
crit heals are powerful
bigger heals = less mp/cooldowns needed to heal

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 
i play exclusively on controller
oh ps4 FFXIV works with KBM natively
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
been playing with controller since PS3 era without issue
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 it’s comparable and can do all the things kvm can do with the right setup
anyone knows what the COVID glamour is?
the what?
doctors glamour I guess
fashion report not working for anyone else?
I have brown dye on helm and hempen chausses brown dyed
Still only got 10k
plague doctors or bringer set probably
because the image in the FR command is last week's
Are cast at cursor macros doable? looking to make one for salted earth..
look for mouseover macros
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
dang
You can do a cast on self macro, which will basically guarantee to hit most things

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?
you can keep the items
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
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?
Diadem?
I think that's the official name for it yeah xD
it was reworked with the 5.2 patch, so its tied to ishgard restoration
it has no tie to free company airships anymore
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..
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?
no, the job skip completes all of the 1-70 class/job quests
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
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
😂
So, boost SMN to 70, use your Arcanist to unlock SCH and then finish all 30-70 SCH quest
Or the other way around
Is it true that Light datacenter is inofficial German?
not really, its just Shiva that's known for its german community
shiva, odin, phoenix to some degree
wasn't it only the shiva world while moogle is french
ok so I should play on Light if I'm German to have access to some German communities?
you dont necessarily have to. germans are everywhere
this is true, we are
I don't want to accidentally pick a dead server where not many ppl raid or whatever
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
I don't think there are any dead servers
kk
in JP maybe.. well "dead". but EU and NA are fairly balanced in general
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?
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
You can repair gear yourself too but it requires you to level crafting and have a specific item
ooo ty
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
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..
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
er wait, no i'm thinking of melding
Yeah
For repairing you need
Oh yeah 70 then
I thought for 430 ilvl stuff you need 80
Good to know
they were thinking of changing it so any crafter can repair everything. but i dont think its in yet.
what time does the daily roulette thing reset?
where can I exchange yellow scrips for level 60+ gear?
!reset
0 Days, 1 Hours, 5 Minutes, 24 Seconds
0 Days, 6 Hours, 5 Minutes, 24 Seconds
3 Days, 18 Hours, 5 Minutes, 24 Seconds
3 Days, 18 Hours, 5 Minutes, 24 Seconds
1 Days, 12 Hours, 5 Minutes, 24 Seconds
1 Days, 5 Hours, 5 Minutes, 24 Seconds
0 Days, 22 Hours, 5 Minutes, 24 Seconds
Rhalgr's Reach i reckon
ty
SE give us Request Repair button kthx
no wait thats 70. try idyllshire if you cant find it
there's a guy in idyllshire who sells level 58 gear for scrips
No like I literally have 0 gil lol... what can I do immediately to get gil I cant even teleport.
do your daily roulettes
how do i add more bars?
Okay thank you.
roulette trials/guildhests give u less
the scrip exchange in rhalgr's reach doesn't even talk to me
esc -> hud layout. select the bar and click the cog
have you unlocked the idyllshire house of splendors?
what do you mean unlocked
have you done the quest "Go West, Craftsman"?
its a 
ty i had em all turned off xD
yes I did it
ooh I found the guy in idyllshire
I can swear he only had level 50 gear before
i think reach long and prosper is the
for rhalgr's reach
is there a way to see current preferred servers online?
and how long they will stay preferred
!faq worldstatus
thanks
ah crap, Shiva is not preferred. Should I just ignore which server is German or whatever and pick preferred?
sure. dungeons/raids etc are cross world within the datacenter
so can consider picking in the same datacenter
twintania or zodiark are both fine
kk Zodiark seems to not allow new characters. Twintania it is 😄
Just a general curious question, sometimes in duty finder people put ‘sale’ in descriptions for uhh raids and stuff (guessing advertisement ofc)
RMT is a bannable offense in game so its their poison
Oof yikes
is it also bannable if they only want in-game currency for it?
but selling for gil is apparently legal but nobody talks about it
It got me so confused on what like it even means
Twintania seems to have almost no players according to https://ffxivcensus.com/
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
okies
how come my gem disappeared?
Because your tank stance isn't activated.
Entering/leaving an instance will usually deactivate it.
how do i reactivate it?
use the ability "iron will"
^
that is how you toggle on/off your tank stance
I couldn't remember what it was called.
ok and is there any benefit to turning tank stance off?
No
Situationally
The only benefit is you will generate less aggro than the other tank in a 8 player party
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.
For your case, just leave it on at all time
oo
does iron will always last until i turn it off? swear it kept falling off in this dungeon i was doing
It turns itself off when you enter a dungeon, but should stay on until the end after you turn it on
Yes, unless you're hitting the ability on your action bars, Iron Will should remain active.
it only turns off upon entering a dungeon if you level sync
My recommendation would be to put it on a secondary bar away from your active abilities.
ooo
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.
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.
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
That would have been before ShB
Ye
Now all of the tanks have their aggro stance available from level 15/16 onwards.
I also remember Flash spam for PLD
That means it had to have been HW at the earliest.
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
Any idea where I can get this haircut from ?
https://prnt.sc/rnvdc8
its from the restoration
can also buy it off of the mogstation, its called Modern Aesthetics - Modern Legend
thanks a bunch
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
@twilit arch Any idea if its tradeable? I'm not in game rn. Also I don't seem to find in the mogstation 😦
oh great then
https://www.ffxivcollection.com/
https://xivstyle.com/ (not updated with 5.1/5.2 sets)
gamerescape also has image gallery you can browse thru @forest laurel

How do i make my chocobo rank up btw?
At rank 6 it should automatically level up.
As you use it.
You have to use it as your combat companion.
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
anyone else having connection issues
Prob another dumb question but how do u run an u synced raid? You tick undersized party right :o
Unsynced* some reason why discord isn’t let me edit
Ty!
what are the requirements to unlock master recipes 8?
unlock the eulmore house of splendors
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?
Because those different cards get an additional thing attached to them at 50
So it will eventually be six cards with distinct properties?
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
What can I do with all this old materia
Transmute at mutamix or sell it on MB if prices are high
prob best to just sell it
idk if transmuting them has the chance to make a higher tier materia
Toss the main stat materia
Or definitely transmutw it
Transmute has a small chance to upgrade its tier
aight thanks peeps
Can I hide the numbers and lock-symbol at the side of the hotbars?
Some lower grade materia is needed for Arr relic so check MB prices
Character config > hotbar > toggle hotbar numbers
well, the lock can be hidden but you have to hide it behind another UI element
ah! thanks a lot
You see my problem with hotbars? how do I stop unwanted skills from showing on my hotbars?
you need to untick that hotbar in the sharing section of character config
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?
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.
how would i do that?
Do what? Add actions to a bar?
This is what it looks like atm.
and i have hotbar4 and 7 which i dont use outside of the tank roles.
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.
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
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?
If they are on shared bars, yes
my 1 braincell is struggling but i got the gist of it
ok thankyou for explaining it to me
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

what does sadface icon meanon the name?
y
OH nevermind, ignore my answer
it means they've set their status to busy
so they can't receive tells or be traded with
aah ok ty
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
How do i unlock the frontline roul?
Do the Like Civilized Men and Women quest, at your grand company HQ I think
Level 30 quest
can you reduce skills cooldown time?
Yes, with skill speed or spell speed stats, depending on job
so spell speed doesnt reduce cast time but cooldown time?
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
no
spell/skill speed doesn't reduce cd on skills
if its 90s cd, its always a 90s cd
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.
Should I be saving the teleport tickets you get when you begin the game for later levels or just spend them right away?
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
Even then, msq gives you enough gil so 🤷♂️
And you can farm the tickets easily
what does the icon stands for, its on the marketboard
means its on a mannequin
why is there no hunting channel here :P?
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.
Oh plenty of people do hunts.

are there any shoulder-high gloves/sleeves for all classes? preferably ones that don't cover the hands
What’s the most desired healer in parties right now in the game?
any as long as you can play it well
Aka competent healers
Makes since. Is there an abundance of one type right now or it well rounded.
Of healers or roles?
Healers
I think spread of healerd are roughly equal...with astro with the lower numbers
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
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.
Yeah...thought astro would be behind
Seems to me like you always need a white mage in the party
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
whm isn't needed
A good astro can handle a fair chunk
Astro kit is powerful if you plan around it
Star and horoscope can be pretty good
And neutral sect
So Astro can be really good if the person behind it is
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)
Awesome that’s what I like to hear
!faq meta
As always
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
(j/k)
Should I pay attention to the blue quest dialogues to understand the story or can I safely skip most of it?
The main story? No, it doesn't have much significance. It does have its own story that you'll need the dialogue to understand.
kk ty
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 ?
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
and you don't need to do anything, just upgrade your account and your characters are fine including their progress and levels
so dont really need to install anything after purcahse ?
You'll have to download the expansions, but that's pretty much it
Is there good pvp content in this game?
which the game will do when you log in after upgrading
The launcher will take care of it for you once you upgrade your account.
ty
@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
So the end game is hugely based around raids
And glamour.
I do like my fashion wars
It is all about glamour. But yes, end game gear progression revolves around raids.
and housing pvp
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>
?
because macros are fincky so having multiple lines ensures that the macro will go off properly
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
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
Thanks guys!
don't forget that you can also drop it on yourself with the macro if you want to
like /ac "Salted Earth" <me>

there is modifier to cast on mouseover
what are the playstyle differences and pros/cons of the various melee DPS jobs?
with targetable things like that
got it! thanks guys 😄
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
which master lvl 8 recipes should i get first?
ty vinyl
@dusk zenith really whatever you want
Should I pray to Halone or Rhalgr during these weeks?
If this is a serious question I don't get it
What? The channel is for questions and help 🙃 😉
Is it a question about the game?
Is it possible to change the position of the dialogue box inside a cutscene? I can just drag it around when talking but not in a cutscene :/
i must have missed something. what does the pinwheel on the screen do for the ninja class?
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?
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
You also need to do the level 22-ish MSQ called "Sylph Management"
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
And yes, spamming through MSQ is the best time/EXP
Anyone know how much money will I be charged for adding Crysta from a Visa card? Like, what's the fee for the transaction?
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?
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
can u see gemstone quantity without going to the vendors?
yes in the shared fate menu
are you talking about your bicoloured gemstones from fates?
aa yes
yes its under travel > shared fates as kael said
wait what is this rank system in the shared fate?
@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
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
Someone a while back said I can disable the flying text option in character config to hide other peoples' damage numbers. I still want to see my own. Is this the correct option to disable?
Turn off pop up text
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
Ok thanks
Can someone help me with some unsyned trial?
Do I buy the game on steam or square enix website? I am curious if walmart sells gift crads I could use
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
Square Enix website currently has a sale on shadowbringers and the complete edition
Also this
I downloaded FF 14 through steam but the square site says I have to purchase it on steam. Steam has it alot more expensive
Yeah you’re stuck on steam unless you make a new account entirely. :/
Should I just unisnatll it from steama and buy it here? does this one on the site include a month?
No you need a new account
All versions of the base game/complete edition include a month of subscription.
And yes it gives a month free whenever you register the base game
So download it, make a new account and I will have all expansions and a free month for 35.99?
Yep.
Do note you want the complete edition, not collector’s, unless you want the vanity stuff from collector’s
sweet, so uninstall from steam, buy it from square after I make a new email account?
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.
so collectors for 35.99 dont have eveerything I need?
Collector’s is only Shadowbringers with a few extra vanity items
oh. thanks!
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)
Scholar needs arcanist lv30 but arcanist is a full dps...astro needs lv50 and all Arr story done
Or at least I can’t use same account
Correct, Steam and PC non-steam cannot be bought on the same account.
Uninstalling steam now
Can sorta see if I like it
You start as conjurer and later upgrade to white mage

So my square Enix account is commected to steam
Correct, you’ll need a new account if you want to benefit from the Square Enix store sale.
Short question: what's the best way to level DoL jobs from level 50 onwards?
I’d say a mix of Ishgard Restoration, Leves, or Collectables.
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
Moogles are DoH only though
Oh DoL
Also ocean fishing if the DoL you want to level is fisher
I see thanks for your answers fisher is at 76. The others at 54 and 53
I recently did miner and botanist from 1-80. After 50 I did leves, some collectibles, beast tribes (60-80), and then diadem the rest of the time
@little swift sorry was making dinner, but if you have duplicate master books you should be able to discard once you've learned the book
Can I not buy gear for tomes until I finish shadowbringers final quest or is it like in stormblood
heavensward*
you have to complete "Shadowbringers" before you can see the tomestone vendors for 5.0
alrighty ty
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?
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.
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.
no? if you go from trial to full game you can keep your character
you don't have to start over
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
but you can have steam and non-steam on the same account
you don't have to start over
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. 
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?
Yeah and steam wants 60 dollars for complete edition. does steam price match?
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.
70/80 stuff requires you to unlock the Rhaglr's Reach and Eulmore house of splendors @coarse elbow
I want to be able to join a free company.
that doesn't make any sense. you can share chracters across PS4 and PC versions, why not steam?
because steam fills the same slot as pc
so you're either steam or you're nonsteam for pc
@lapis crown just world visit to their world to play with.them. Go to any major city aetheryte and visit their world
🤔 that's really dumb
yeah but like i wont even be able to be in their fc or visit the housing or whatever
You can visit housing just not buy
@gritty oracle can ask your FC if they want/need them, but otherwise just sell/toss em
You can at least play with them until you can transfer
Ah, okay!
Also
I want to buy a house in the mist for roleplay reasons. Any advice, tips or miscellaneous help?
Check everyday, every ward and hope for the best
Then cap infront of a placard when you see an open one
probably going to be a bit harder to get a house right now
since they disabled the auto demolish
Sry for question again but is there anything I need to know about Spriggan world? Like is it unofficial French or something?
no, moogle is
yeah moogle is the official unofficial French server
and I want to say Shiva is the main German one?
More or less
@twilit arch I mean I uninstall from Steam completely so I can get the special promotion going on
Does the free 15 days still available till today? Where you level up a char to 30 in a suggested server?
@fervent bloom Its an infinite free trial
yes, you can still get 15 days free if you level up to 30 on a preferred world. just know its a one time thing
Okaaay thanks o/
@twilit arch Soz for late response, but thank you. 🙂
lol for a moment I thought this world is dead
but you can only see other players once you conclude the tutorial
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
I tried joining and world that had experience bonus and it wouldnt let me join 😦
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)
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
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.
Did anyone found a solution for this error?
Hi, I'm receiving this error when trying to start the game.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287679207432257538/691940941506019398/unknown.png
I can start and play the game once if I restart my pc, but then if I close it, and try to play again, the error appears.

do you have to buy mount speed increases for shb areas?
yes
ew
You do for all second speed increases
shb doesn't have t2 speed increase, just t1

every class can
All classes can do the story solo
Was watching some videos. Said things like dragoons are a nightmare for noobs
But in terms of safest it would probably be Conjurer for being able to heal yourself or a tank like Gladiator and Marauder for their natural damage reduction
is there a way to display gpu temp in game?
when can i use my mount?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
ahhh thanks a lot
oh boy that looks bad on mobile
It really could stand to be split up a bit imo. Even not on mobile it takes up most of the view
If I use a level booster on a specific job, is there a way to reobtain the job-specific armor set you get at like, level 60 job quests etc?
50/70 can be purchased from the calamity salvager
60 gear from centurio seals in ishgard
centurio is the, vendor in the forgotten knight inn, right?
yes
I see, thank you 
no mounts from shadowbringers story quests?
Is there a class that can do strong damage and self heal?
The "Shadowbringers mount" is from all.combats at lv80
If you wanna call that mount the shb mount
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
Warrior.has a ton of.self heal, but not on demand like.pld
I normally play mages in MMORPG but these mages seem to have no mobility
Casters have alot
BLM gets a surprising amount at the later levels
Of mobility tools
And Summoner has movement on demand with Ruin 2
Hell SMN uses instants for like over 60% of their rotation
All the egi assaults, Ruin 4s and fbt skills
This mmo is a little more traditional
I was thinking mage, ranger or dragoon / ninja :)
Movement in this case being "not stuck channeling so they can run around", not a bunch of jumping around
BLM has a (conditional) jump, but SMN does not
is road to 70 buff for 90 days after u make a chara or 90 days from the day u make ur acc?
I’m guessing jump in this context meaning skills that quickly move you to someone?
After character
If you guys had to recommend either mage, ranger, dragoon or ninja to a complete noob which would you guys say
ty^^
After 90 days of character creation and When the server stops being preferred
Try all of them and see which tickles your fancy
I've only got a week trial atm tho ahah
You can? How!?
Free version is permanent
Trial is unlimited time, there’s only a level restriction of 35.
so potentially it can be much longer than 90 days? I am on Spriggan I hope it will stay preferred long lmao
After completing the level 10 class quest for your starting class you unlock the ability to play other classes

what is this road to 70 thing
Double xp on everything
Do you start at level 1 again?
Until 70
An EXP buff that doubles every source
Yes
Not every job
Yeah each job has their own levels
For ARR jobs
Expansion jobs start higher levels
is there any requirement for it? or does any new character get it?
New character on prefferds
So get to level 10 then I can swap?
Only new characters on preferred and new worlds
PREFERREDS
Any character made on a preferred server
Get to level 10, do the class quest at level 10 and then go to any guild you want to unlock the class for
Thanks so much!
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?
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
ty^^!
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
None that I really know of, maybe just go for materia?
can u leave the area when u left items for the gatherer fates?
i know people you share your estate with cannot reset the auto demo timer but can they see the timer in the menu?
I think for FCs yes, but not for personal shared housing
Yes
Tenants see the demo timer too?
I believe so?

funny question, where you get ventures at? I haven't bought them since back in mid SB
If you're concerned about that "Se screw up pausing and accidentally set all house to demo" thing, alot of people are calling ot fake
@dense meadow grand company seals is easiest way of getting them
ah GC seals
is there a great way of getting centurios solo without dying to marks
Do your bills from the ishgard hunt board
Is there any way in game to report people
I have found 2 bots
who just teleport around
lmao what is this

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?
Probably not
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
Yeah, both of my houses were fine (Personal/FC)
Same
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.
Email is always slow
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
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
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?
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
okies ty
i assume tanks get commends a lot?
TBH I think tanks usually get the most since they’re at the top of the list
And people just choose them by default
It varies. If I tank, I usually pick healer. If I heal, I pick tank, and if I dps, I pick the other dps.
I generally default my comms to healers that do damage and DPS that do great
i see, thanks 
what does this mean: The smell of death has drawn a Forlorn maiden to the battlefield!
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 
FATES can sometimes spawn a maiden that when killed boosts the EXP you’ll get from the next fate
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
Are fates still kinda useless to do while leveling or endgame? or has anything changed?
also might be a more common question but what's the best way to level alt jobs?
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
There are rewards for getting commendations btw
There's a mount at 500 and another at 3000, plus some other things
general opinion basedquestion, how hard do u find it to heal on controller?
Do I have to beat SB to get white scrips
It takes a bit to get used to scrolling through the party list, but it’s definitely something you can manage
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.
Not sure about earning white scrips, but you definitely need to have started ShB to spend them
I guess I'm just not sure where to do so then
@leaden ginkgo What kind of controller
im using xbox but i can get another if its "easier"
The biggest hurdle to controller healing, imo, is figuring out how you want to prioritize your crossbars.
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
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.
Swapping bars is muscle memory mostly
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.
Yep
I main WHM but dabble in Astro
I keep all skills except buffs on bar 1, buffs like Lucid Dreaming on bar 2
I also main WHM
Make use of the xhb and wxhb
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.
^same, more or less what I was trying to say
Use a HB setup that is most comfortable for you
And I have all of those macroed to /echo a sound effect to me so I know that they're off cooldown
I just put keyboard hotbars on the side so I can see them
oh ok 🙂
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.
I.just hide the double tap hotbars until pressed
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
Yeah, I like to keep my HUD fairly clear so I can have a better view of incoming aoe mechanics.
Personal preference stuff.
@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

Wow
I don’t play melee that often though
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?
Whichever is the most daddy
I don't know what that means
Do you have screenshots of those faces?
Yes
Can you post them here?
Guys another question lol
Does anyone know what any rp scene is like
Is it any server or is to server really a thing
I'd mainly say Crystal datacenter
I like tilting the camera to adjust my view of the arena. Helps a lot with AoEs
Balmung is the most famous for RP, followed by maybe Mateus?
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.
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
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.
I don't know what it means but I assume it can't be good

THere are parts that are like that, but it's also the biggest server in Crystal
@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.
That's a big yikes from me
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'
4 0 works
4 moves the cursor to the left and 0 selects it
Maybe that's what you want
I forgot to mention it but I'm glad you got it 😄
Which dungeon and what kind of help?
If you're a dps role, that's not surprising.
It will also depend a bit on your server.
Local time, etc.
What server/datacenter are you on?
That's Aether DC
It's about dinner time for people on that server.
You might have better luck in an hour or so.
I could recommend trying a tank or healer. You might like one of the classes and in return get very fast queues 😄
I personally recommend a tank
Same
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.
Easy rotation, just need to be aware of enemy position and aggro
And cycle your defensive skills
to be honest im thinking of going for paladin or dark knight
Gladiator/Paladin looks super fun from what I played
Either one is a solid choice.
Dark Knight is slightly gated
Dark Knight is unlockable once you access Heavensward
By your story progression
Paladin is the only one you can access before you reach the first expansion content.
Can only do Dark Knight once you reach HW
The only tank classes you can access now are Gladiator/Paladin and Marauder/Warrior
Your starting choices are Gladiator or Marauder
So is there any reason to use Blizzard I as BLM
YES
Yes
I'm only level 32 right now
It is your filler when you regen MP in Umbral Ice
Using Blizzard will give you Ice Aspect and restore your MP
I played a lot of Marauder/Warrior and not so much Gladiator. I like Gladiator a lot more 😅
Not when you get Blizzard 3
But cant I just transpose my MP back
Yes but higher stacks of ice regen it faster
Transpose just swaps you between Umbral Ice/Astral Fire.
And you want to be full.mana asap
You just do nothing in Umbral ice and wait for MP?
1 stack of.ice.fills.slowly
as for the healers is the conjurer the best one?
So you need.filler other than just thunder application
Use Blizzard I as filler
@white sinew you get a code
A lot of people find Conjurer/White Mage boring but you could try it
@get
Square Enix store and XIV account management aren't tied together
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
It's a system monitored process. A human will only get involved if there's a problem.
Fully automated unless it needs review, standard procedure for any big online selling site
It was pretty instant for me way back, and I haven't heard many complaints about it
Usually it takes between 5-15 minutes
SO IF UMBRAL ICE GIVES ALL MY MP BACK
Could also buy it on Steam, assuming you're buying the PC version...
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
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
Oh I see
You need transpose prior to bli/fire 3
So if you're on the move you can get into Umbral Ice
Oooooooh that's smart
Alright. Steam had a pretty good discount (I think -60% on the complete pack) a while back but too late now
Since.fire 1/bliz 1 removes the stack first then the next use.gives stack
It's a way to maintain at least one stack between pulls at higher levels.
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
Fairly sure you can because there is an option to buy the collector's stuff separately on the mogstation
Well you can use Freeze when you get it to dance.to Ice
Since that gives full ice stacks
Prior.to.bliz 3
(but real talk I wouldn't buy it unless you really want the goodies)
Just purchased the complete bundle on the website, taking a chance even though I dont know if I will like it. I am hoping I dont have to start over
I need to move 20 points from Tactical to Strength for my Flagged mission. What's the best way to do this shift?
Just keeping the explanation simple, I ain't gonna list all the spells and conditions
.blmleveling
I am going to take the liberty and do this as well
@cold crescent Do the training for Strength/Mind. It will deduct 40 points from Tactical and distribute 20 to Strength and Mind
!faq blmleveling
Right @open coral but then I need to put 20 BACk in Tactical
BLM is really complex for a DPS you can start with
What I need the final outcome to be 120/60/100
