so does switching classes right before the end of a frontline allow you to get exp on the class you end it on?
can people from another world not go to the firmament
correct. The firmament is only for people native to that server
:(
Originally you could have people from other worlds help but it resulted in the server's home people not being able to participate in the FATE if they didn't camp out the area beforehand.
Why are there two different rabbit body suits?
Because they made 2 designs
for the purposes of constructing airships and subs is there an actual need for HQ contributions?
or do you just need more of the item if it's NQ?
it can save materials if you turn in HQ stuff, but it always felt pretty random in whether you got materials back regardless if you used NQ or HQ
@unreal badge no, you get frontlines XP based on what you queued as, changing classes doesn't affect it
so I don't need to manually craft 30 HQ whatevers and I can just quick synth 30 of them?
yep
nice

Can Rock Salt be purchased in the housing districts? Teamcraft says it's from "Material supplier". But when I check the one in Goblet (outside of houses) and the NPC inside house, neither have it
I got to level 15 and trying to switch to rogue. where is that rogue guild?
It's in Limsa Lominsa
@sturdy mason double check the inside house vendor
If you didn't start in that city, you won't be able to reach it until you hit the level 15 Main Story Quest that takes you there
It's either under the alc regents or cooking materials
these are the right ones?
i found the guide very confusing, is there some sort of pick of the string of moves that i can just copy? x.x (for monk rotation)
yeah the resupply node should have the salt.
I see it now. Weird it isn't under cooking ingredients
@lapis star Pages 11-13 of the beginner guide have your rotation and info about it
Hey guys, I can't buy the complete edition, bugs at the review order screen.... sent 2 tickets and no help... what can I do ? https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/games/franchises/final-fantasy-xiv-online
anyone had this? tried both chrome and firefox
I'd just keep waiting since you sent the tickets in. :\
so its like, line 1 then line 2 then line 3?
yep
what happeend to using dragon kick for the leader buff and then bootshine tho?
Dragonkick is there
yeah but bootshine doesn't come after it?
you don't need to do it right away.
You get the leaden buff for 30 seconds
Also you lose out on the stance bonus if you do DK > Boot
xD
!action Bootshine

okay thank you, im dumb and all this info just makes me lost, i feel like if i just get a string of moves and try to memorize them, thats the best ill get personally xD
so is it worth using any other moves? like the ones procced by chakra? since they aren't included in that pic of moves
That's only the GCD rotation
how many eggs are needed for all the current prizes?
you still use the rest of your toolkit
do i just use them off cooldown?
I got 10 from the one fate, So I need one more, gotta do another.
OH
Nevermind I misread.
for the most part, yeah.
alright ill just do my best then cx tyvm~
i saw on the lodestone that u could purchase items from previous easter events but the vendor doesnt seem to have them. am i missing something?
Mogstation
it says certain items tho, the glam from last event should be on mogstation
right. i have nothing from the egg advocate from previous events
thats why i was asking
whenever there is a new seasonal event
the previous year's event rewards go up on the mogstation
current rewards are obtainable for the event duration
will we be able to get the flying car mount any time soon
i need it
i must have it
the collaboration event
not sure is se is doing it again :/
no collab events usually repeat a few times before they get shunted to mogstation
see: ff13
While we can never know for certain, they might if ffxv gets something that needs to be promoted again

@stable rock that means that person is displaying the gear on a Mannequin in their house
Ohh okay
Between WAR and DRK, which do you all prefer more and why?
War, cus I like simple class
Does DRK have a lot less DPS and utilities?
I like both pretty equally, but WAR for the 10/10 sounds of Fell Cleave
nah, tanks are super balanced
like a 4-5% damage difference between GNB and DRK, who are the highest and lowest damage tanks
Drk is.... basically war but with more ogcd/resources to pay attention to
I know this sounds superficial but I want to switch to DRK because i can equip a bewtiful helmet, WAr is lacking in my glamour mission
That's fair
Glam is a totally valid reason to play a class
I raised 4 lvl 80 that I cant play, just because they look good in their glam x'D
Plus drk questline is β‘
How do you get Shiosai's hairstyle?
Looks like one of the default Au Ra hairstyles to me. Can't currently log in to double check
Ok. If you can, tag me if you can confirm this
for some reason, my game is acting really weird
its running in a resolution that is not what my computer is
is there any fix for this?
adjust the resolution back to normal from the game settings?
it isnt working
onyl thing i can do rn is run it at full screen
but when i run it as windowed full screen, it gives me a different resulotion
yeah you need to adjust it again on windowed fullscreen
it doesnt let me
how do i do that o.o?
like the L W box is blacked out
sorry, these are such stupid questions
what do you guys do with your old gear? Im maxed out on GC seals and donations to the doman enclave
that's odd π€ make sure your gpu's software isn't playing tricks on you or try manually adjusting it from the game files? or try windowed mode and adjust it from there?
I generally default to GC seals. Can you use them for promotions? If not then spend them on stuff like glamour prisms to sell for gil
im maxed out for promotions

also desynthing is an option if you can't use a gc sink, like buying a shitton of ventures or coke and sell it on the mb
I was desynthing a lot of stuff but I was getting mostly junk
I might do the glamour prisms, I didn't realise I could buy them with seals
thanks everyone for the suggestions
Been meaning to look into getting a tank mount. Can a tank solo garuda ex in any reasonable amount of time or is a party still preferred?
if you're 70 or higher then soloing garuda extreme will be a breeze
Yeah but even back in SB you'd want a party to skip her lengthy phase transitions + her add phase
As long as you kill the Satin ASAP and burst down Chirada when they spawn it's super easy
Noted
where i find the eden core?
around x29, y32 of Amh Araeng to go to The Empty, and then interact with the mini-aetheryte
thanks!
So, my father who is a very old player of FFXI as well as FFXIV (When it first came out) Wanted to start playing again on a new character with me. With that being said he just downloaded the game today and im currently in Famfrit apart of the world Primal. And it automatically put him in Aether with out him choosing that, he hasnt chosen a server on Aether yet, because there's really no point in him playing the game again if he cant play with me, so what can he do if anything?
just make a new character if he just started
Am I getting to far ahead my MSQ? this area feels like you need a chocobo to do it in a decent time. I just have ocd and im literally taking every main and cross side quest I see
@slate arrow im on the chocobo quest but I ended up in some random area doing quest instead of finishing chocob quest and feel like the chocobo would help my time in the area
oh yeah a chocobo would help
anything to decrease overworld traversal time helps massively
So all he needs to do is just make a new account again?
no
i'm not sure about trial restrictions but you can probably make up to 8 characters so he can just delete the old one and make a new one on a primal server
(or just leave that one as-is)
(oh wait, old FFXIV player)
yeah he can have up to 8 characters, 1 per server
minimum
up to 40 characters, 8 per server
Idot, I had the trial, what is your question?
naw i'm pretty sure the person in question has a full account
ohhh okay, my bad!
Im so addicted to this damn game. And Idot, @slate arrow is friggin awesome. he helps but tells you how it is even if you dont like it. I wasnt enjoying the game because I was skipping all scenes. I had to remake because I started watching them and wanted to see what I missed!
Just wanted to make sure; the date in the EB ceremony invitation is adjusted to your local time right?
yes
Thank you!
@mortal nebula Yes! I get what you mean! I used to play alot of games, and now its like i can only stay on this one, I dont wanna play anything else lmao

POTD experience stops scaling at 60 or 50
60
ty
what do you guys think is the most fun melee job
one that has cool combos and nice mechanics
really up to you lol i find drg boring but some like it
I started the game as mage because I heard it was an easy job but it turned out it has cast times and I hated every second of it
I've played all of them to max level and I can confidently say MNK is probably the least well designed of the 4 melee jobs due to it's extreme reliance of a rear positional. It's not very interesting outside of a job gauge that occasionally fills when you get a crit and just being fast
(and you have the ability to ignore positionals up to 40 seconds every minute so i find it the least interesting, personally.)
I don't know hat you mean by positional but I won't go monk anymore
ah one second
I'm trying to switch to rogue right now
so you know that circle that appears around a target when you target it?
yes
Each of the melee DPS have skills that do more damage or do something extra when you hit the Flank or Rear of a monster.
basically the "missing" part is the rear, and the 90 degrees to either side of the blank space is the flank
!action Aeolian Edge
Melee DPS gameplay uses those positionals for certain job things, usually more potency, or in the case of samurai, extra Job gauge
hi I can't start this Leves of Aleport quest. click the map button and it doesn't work
is there a page somewhere I can quickly look at a list of purple(?) sidequests and what they unlock
do the levequest first
you can't open it because the objective is the levequest which is in your journal
do you need a map to your quest journal or something
@slate arrow @obsidian patio thanks guys that explains alot
Level 20 in the story after joining a grand company
!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.
is there a way to login without putting in password like wow
I know PS4 can have it remember their password. Don't think PC can do the same.
ps4 can pc cant
its more for security reasons if i recall
you still have to put the OTP in on ps4 the authenticator one
Is there a cleaner way to aggro scattered adds as a tank? I usually resort to just shield lobbing or using an AoE once they're grouped
I know provoke generates enmity, but can it be used to aggro more than one add?
nope
nope
if youre having trouble with scattering adds just stand still and do some aoe then run on ahead
rather than just a quick aoe one then wall pull
some dps do like to sneak in an aoe or two when a tank wallpulls or does big ones
Got it. Thanks!
no harm in spending a few extra seconds to build up some more aoe threat if you are unsure just to get the hang of it
hey guys, are we able to repeat the easter event to get more bejeweled eggs? I tried going to both npcs but i can't seem to re-do them.
you just go and do the fate again
There's no repeatable quest currently
That's probably reserved for part 2
for beast tribe quests, does the quality matter of the things you synthesize
how do most people find companies to join other than using the recruit feature in this discord
Only if they specify that they want HQ
I don't think turning in HQ stuff boosts the EXP if they're fine with normal
nope
beast tribe quests that dont need
has no quality bar anyway
@gritty turret Most people I see ask around in the main cities or endgame hubs
ok thank you
Was Tam Tara hard in the MSQ or was it a blue quest?

tam tara hard is a blue quest
you just go and do the fate again
@slate arrow oh but i can't get into that...red bunny suit thing. Can i do it without?
there's an npc near the fate spawn that gives you the costume needed for the fate
i just unlocked samurai and im having trouble setting up my hotbar. all the stuff i can find is for max level setups and im super confused
is there like a basic setup guide?
Argh can you only have 4 chat tabs?
unfortunately yes
But 1 for social stuff, 1 for story-related stuff, 1 for battle log and 1 for everything else is so disorientating ._.
pls dont buy from that site
oh
anyway a cd key for stormblood is a scam
since its outdated as heck
buying shadowbringers gives all previous expansions and its the same price
i bought the cd key few days ago and it didnt work so xD
might be a used code. well now you know
shadowbringers *
dont buy stormblood
buy shadowbringers yup
do you have the base game?
FFXIV: A Realm Reborn
okay is your ARR on steam?
yes
okay. then buy from steam. π
okay i bought the dlc for steam and its already installed then it means the lvl cap would be gone right?
Did you make sure to register the code to your mogstation?

Did you make sure to register the code to your mogstation?
@obsidian patio it said invalid
Are you still on the trial or do you have the base game registered?
Go to your mogstation and screenshot this
you're clicking on "Enter Expansion Registration Code" right?
ooh do i have to enter it there
yes
okay that worked i never seen that big thing xD
and what do i know?
is that all?
launch the game and let it download the expansions you dont have
okay
i will let you know if it worked:)
its downloading so i think it worked haha
thanx π
np
i did a quest earlier that when finished said i could teleport to lavender beds how do i do that
it'll be on the main aetheryete in gridania
how do i purchase a home
look for an empty plot in one of the housing wards, go up to the plaque with the needed gil in hand and select purchase
right now it'll probably be a bit harder to find an empty plot since the auto demolish has been disabled
how much do they cost
!faq housing
2m at the bare minimum if the plot has (somehow) been unbought for 30 days
Hey, anyone wanna help me farm Levi & Ranuh extreme? Last 2 ponys i need
Try party finder. If you're level 70 or higher you can easily solo farm them.
Im level 71, but Levi is a pain as tank since it's 50/50 if i'll get MC'd or not. I just asked if anyone wanna help me or might need those 2 aswell
You can use your stun/interrupt (Low Blow/Interject) to stop the add from using the Hysteria attack.
It says "interject has no effect"
how do I solo twintania 
it keeps knocking me into a wall with the dive bomb and I can't avoid it
There's a spot in the arena that lets you easily dodge it. Lemme find a video that shows it in action
Hey guys what would be faster to level a dps from 50-70 potd and hoh or dr or squadrons?
Assuming dungeons don't have a fast queue time then Palace of the Dead+Heaven-on-High
What is average time needed to level a dps in potd and hoh? 30 min/ level?
greatly depends on your groups.
I think a good group can clear a floor set in 14 minutes or so?
Average time I'd say maybe an hour a level, maybe to probably less if the game is kind with RNG and DF
Im doing golden saucer for the first time, I really enjoyed the gate event but can you only do it once? No option to do another
They cycle through a few different games every twenty minutes
But yeah each gate is only one attempt each time theyβre up
Doesnβt take long for the next to appear however
Ah so I can do multiple over a day for the challenge log?
challenge log is weekly
so yes, you can do a little bit each day
dont need to do it all at once
I don't usually do everything at once but I have quite afew free hours at the moment as you can imagine! But thanks for the info π Must admit that jumping made my stomach go afew times x)

kupo
yeah you gotta pay up for last years good stuff :(
I see. Also, should I be farming those eggs thingy on the event for some reason?
this is my first actual event on the game, so idk how they usually run
if you want the housing items or extras of them
You get 10 eggs per FATE participated in and you get the bunny glamour with the event quest
got a question about thaumaturge:
i noticed the MP are being reduced or increased by Blizzard/Fire, does it make a difference if i just cast blizzard or should i get in some Fire too?
wat lvl are u?
pretty much with thm, and blm, is about using most of your mp during the fire phase and then using blizzard to replenish your mp to go back into fire phase
8 atm @edgy gate
Is there a way to get this mount other then mogstation?
nope
then try to get familiar with transpose
So if I use Blizzard it starts out at 400MP, then 300MP and if I then Transpose 200MP
but is there a damage difference or nah
yes. umbral ice(blue orb) regens mp super fast
there is a huge difference in damage between Thaum/BLM being played correctly or incorrectly
you should be casting a lot of Fire, as much as possible
and the fire orb increases damage?
astral fire(red) buffs fire attacks but stops mp regen
oh
Ice only reduces cost of magic and increases Mana rgeen
Fire multiplies all fire damage and increases fire spell cost
so what you are getting at is basically spam fire till you have to swap and repeat
when u run out of mp, u transpose and attack with blizzard till u can transpose again or have full mp
yes
where do i find the information of the blue/red orb actually then
it says on the tool tip
Thereβs also an active help about Astral Fire and Umbral Ice
its the small question mark at the bottom of actions and traits screen
So I'm new, about AoEs, I see the ground indicator, but it takes some time to launch. The indicator disappears before the attack appears.
Does the damage happens when it disappears? Or synced to animation?
Also, on Steam, I see base game (starter edition) and the lastest expansion. What about older expansions?
Damage is locked in at the instant that the indicator disappears, but doesn't happen until the animation happens
so there is a moment where it's too late to get out but not too late to get healed
damage snapshots when the cast bar fills up or whenever the AoE disappears
so it's good habit to haul ass if you're standing in a death puddle
Also, older expansions come with the latest expansion
since the story builds on previous expansions and it wouldn't be fair to skip content due to how linear this games's progression is between expansions
(and how heavily story driven it is)
all right, thanks!
enjoying the trial so far hehe
It's more accurate to refer to the latest expansion as the expansion pass rather than the expansion itself

where do most people gather at because i am on adamantoise and rarely see anyone
Limsa Lominsa is almost always a hub, regardless of server.
does this game have layering, instancing, channels or anything like that?
All raid and dungeon content is instanced
no
other than when there is high congestion
itll split a zone/zones into usually 3 separate instances with a cap of 300 per instance
how do you unlock norvrandt
MSQ progression
ok
if you want mentor status
hitting certain amounts of commendations will also complete achievements with items
3k for fat chocobo....
Is it possible that I donβt see any preferred worlds in NA currently?
the star is only shown when you're on the world selection screen after character creation
should I choose the grand company which my FC is allied?

is there an estimated item level for the 5.25 relics based on precedent? just curious if i should rush to get my 490 weapon this week or maybe wait to see if the relic is the same/better (i have a lot of alts to gear)
its just guessing
no idea
the 4.25 one was the same ilvl as the current ex trials
and 5 below the unupgraded tome one
Are there any good guides on squadrons? It's my first time getting to them and the only real info I've been able to find is 4 archers, 2 conjurers, and 2 marauders. Is that still how I want to go?
just pick w/e
as long as its 3 of the comp you need
so aka if youre the bard just do a tank, dps and healer obviously
That's all there is to know about squads? They seemed a lot more complicated from the basic stuff I was finding
honestly if youre just wanting to do dungeons with em
they arent complex
the missions though i never delved too much into that side
If I melded a crystarium gear, will the materia still remains if I upgrades the crystarium gear?
Ah ok, you saved my life! Fortunately I got your help first before I do something stupid lol

You can do temp meld of vi and below, they have 100% retrieve rate
IS their a good guide anywhere on how to farm for relic weapons?
is there a place that has rotations and job guides?
@small temple https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv
thank you
yep i joined too thank you
@Shy google (not joking), people set up guide webs / detailed wiki
do I need the anima equipped when killing the boss for Light or do I need to have it equipped as I exit like the dungeon step
Okki
what is the lowest gcd time possible
Got it so I essentially cant use my ruby wep and have to run it (a9s specifically) with the anima equipped.
Is there a way to find out what the bonus is? The anima glass doesnt tell me
Bonus no, you have to manually try each and read the end text
Is their a eureka equivalent for shb?
Got it thanks. Doing A9S anyway at least I wont waste a run now knowing I need it equipped lol
oh so soon I can grind it from the start myself, awesome.
I heard the SB relic is now the fastest to reach its final glam stage by far compared to the other xpac relics, is that true
Or does that mean its just the most grindable one
~___~ mmmm sb relic speed, if you do it now, depends on the number of players
Expect to suffer if you solo, but if you can get a group train going, its alright
I see. So something you probably want to work on during the first few days after reset when CLog is reset lol. I got to like, level 16 in anemos before stopping...
Hoping ShB is on the more relaxed/passive side, I never did a current-xpac relic before past the first few stages but I'm at a loss for good-looking katanas and gunblades not from ultimates
what should i look for when viewing company profile as a new player
..... friendliness ....?
Will the company give you constant 10% xp
Its very common though, almost all fc run buff 24/7
where does it say how often they run buff on company profile
Is there any reason for me to really bother with putting armor and weapons on my retainers?
you could store gear for any classes that you want to level later on
for example I stored tank gear since I wanted to level PLD
Higher ilvl lets them bring back more/rare stuff in ventures
oh that's what you meant lmao
is waste not worth using if you have waste not II?
or can I just remove it from my hotbar
is there a chat such as trade chat (in wow) I can join in ff14?
No
@lament wagon waste not 1 is used in some of the level 80 crafting macros i've found, so its still used. I'm not experienced much on the details of why though
Its lower cp cost for half the steps
Sometimes you dont need all 8 steps of reduction
So you can save abit of cp
yeah i assumed it was because you're not using the full duration of waste not 2
and a lot of the macros mix manip with waste not 1 and use them together

stupid question
If i relocate from a medium to a small plot, do i get some money back or would it be better to demolish and buy a new one?
i spent around 15m for the plot, and buying a less then 2m one
Hi, I'm level 56 and my MSQ quest is for lv57
any tips to level up?
.
(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) β (30% of Old Plot Price)
Spam dungeons/do your beast tribes/do your daily roulettes
Do palace of the dead if ques are slow
Just do stuff for xp

and it unlockes something except that?
Takes like 5mins to do for like 5%+
Mounts
Glamour
Music
Some lore
Minions
Emotes

There's a plethora of side dungeons
Hell the lv51 dungeon is a side dungeon for an aether current in Coerthas
oh cool
thanks for all info!
Off-hand Amateur pliers, do they have any functions other than giving you more control in crafting and such
No...?
Off hand tools Are pretty much for stats
Who is the watery lady on o6s (the paint/painting mechanic)?
Are there currently Artifact/Relic weapons in Shadowbringers? On reddit in the wowrefugee guide there's something like that mentioned, but I dont really find anything to this
Okay, thank you very much
Are theae the best weapons then, or are usual raid weapons usually better?
The goddess in the painting is a reference to Final Fantasy 6's Chardarnook boss fight.
In FF6, the demon is possessing a painting of the esper Lashkmi

raid weapons are usually better until near the end of the expansion where relic weapons can be as strong as or more powerful than raid weapons
@smug thank you ^^

no
Okay, good (I didn't wanna have to try to constantly maximize that fuck that)
casting animations and such mean that it's impossible to fit two casts of a 30-second-CD ability into a 30-second window
Thank GOD
Again, I really wasn't looking forward to straining myself to pull it off anyway.
You get a guaranteed 30 seconds of life later on anyway
how do I queue up for a dungeon?
In the Main Menu go to Duty, then select "Duty Finder"
play your msq till you unlock one then use the duty finder to que for it
That will open a menu with tabs. Dungeons is the one with the blue cave icon.
first one unlocks at about lvl15/16 msq

where does the bunny event start
Old Gridania at the amphitheater
Hi everyone. New player here. My perspective is from Reddit, so it could be outdated info or just plain wrong - if RDM use Scatter for AoE and then go into Moulinet, what's the point in Veraero II / Verthunder II? My outlook is simplistic now as I'm low level.
Is tungsten ore a collectible or a actual mat
Don't use Scatter for AoE
Veraero/Verthunder II have a shorter cast time and fill more black/white mana.
I think.
I'm not positive about the black/white mana amounts
But I'm pretty sure Scatter is only 3 of both, while Veraero/Verthunder II are 7 of their corresponding type.
@late temple both. as collectable it can be turned in for scrips and some 2 star recipe requires tungsten ore as i recall
yea, tungsten steel ingot needs tungsten ore
Veraero/Verthunder II have a shorter cast time and fill more black/white mana.
@open coral I accept that, as it makes sense, but what's the point in Scatter?
It becomes a finisher at level 80.
When Scatter is upgraded to Impact, you want to use Impact. Veraero II/Verthunder II to get mana and then Dualcast Impact for the damage.
^
Sorry, that's level 66, not 80
I was thinking of Scorch, which is the finisher off Jolt II
So first healspec I've picked up, I notice that a handful of spells have tier upgrades as you go (benefic I-III e.g). Are these treated as straight upgrades, or is it a matter of using all of them to vary healing requirement:mana burn?
At low level, Scatter is just for aoe for a few levels before you get the Ver IIs
Depends on the skill @agile laurel
tl;dr veraero2/verthunder2 > Scatter/Impact(at 66)
If you have a bunch of white and black Mana, spam AoE Mana spender
Rdm aoe is Aero/thunder 2 into scatter/impact
For that reason I suggest looking at your traits because they'd say "upgrade X to Y" @agile laurel
So you know what is an upgrade and what isn't
As far as I know the only skill that upgrades is jolt and jolt 2
everything else is an independent skill
(oh and scatter and impact)
(I'm a dummy)
On WHM, Cure 1, 2, and 3 are all different spells, but you aren't going to use Cure 1 a whole lot at higher levels, and Cure 3 is a target-based AoE heal.
@agile laurel
AST's Benefic is basically the same.
Black Mage: Blizzard, Blizzard 2, Blizzard 3, and Blizzard 4 all do different things. Same thing with fire spells
You'll use Benefic more at lower levels, but Benefic 2 more later because it's simply a more powerful heal, and you'll have other tools better suited to the spot healing that Benefic would otherwise be used for.
Thanks everyone for the info on RDM.
was tonberry server recently open?
its a standard world so if its not available to new character creation, its due to the temporary lock
yea i know i mean was it recently open cause normally tonberry always lock XD
so i was wondering if i already miss the window
what is the slots waymark?
Hi if any newbie want to party with me Iβm playing on giglemesh level 7!!!
@odd bobcat which context?
what is the best way to get general purpose jet black dye without buying from mb
buy it from mogstation
outside of that, hope and pray rng favours you when you send our your retainers on quick ventures
Is there a collectors edition for the original iteration for Final fantasy 14
Each major release and expansion has had one I believe. The digital CE goods can be bought from mogstation, excepting 1.0 of course, but the physical stuff is likely much harder to find.
Oh and anything that was a preorder bonus is long gone

I just bought the expansions- is it possible that the confirmation mail can take a while to be sendt to my email?
Hi (again)! One more question: I play a summoner lv53 and I've 2000/2000 allagan tomestones of poetics, what should I buy with them right now? I was sure to get the Ironworks gear but... π€
I keep getting error 5006
The ironworks gear is only really great if you need it for your current classes. Otherwise I usually go to || Idyllshire || (which is an exp story location and get the stuff to turn in for top soils. You can check on some of the tradeable mats you can redeem in MorDhona and see what things you can make a profit off of in the meantime
guys what are the pros and cons of legacy vs standard camera?
Now no one wants to talk
there is a discord for act settings and discussion?
@leaden ginkgo you can have up to 8 characters on entry, but only 1 per world
@odd bobcat https://discord.gg/hK523Pj
Then only the top character in the list is accessible
Others are inaccessible

Excuse me, what are the pros and cons between using legacy vs standard controls
camera facing also doesn't affect block or parry anymore?
up to you. i played other MMOs before FF and my brain is wired to legacy.
only the direction your character face
thank youu
Is a Madman's whispering rod worth 65,000?
I need it for the WHM lvl50 quest
So I checked the market board and that's the cheapest one.
Depends on how badly you want the glamour. There's way more money that will need to be spent in the quest line to get the fully upgraded relic.
can u have more than 1 authenticator on the account?
You can also always check MBs on other worlds.
The glamor? I don't know about that, I just want the quest done so I can get the skills and be up to date on my class.
You're talking about A Relic Reborn? It's not required
yup. it used to be for lvl 50 endgame but thats a long time ago.
It's for a relic weapon. A long term investment that eventually turned into potential best weapon. But became obsolete as soon as HW launched. Such is the case with all relics.
At this point, yes. The weapon was good back when it was 2.x end game, but now you can buy an Ironworks weapon easily to get a weapon boost
Oh, I see. Might be best to just not do it yet then.
Thanks for the advice. I'll come back to it when I have a lot of money to burn.
I played a few years back till I had a lv 32 gladiator on Gilgamesh, I would just start a new char to relearn things and see story I forgot... But the char has event cosmetic items I still want. Would it be worth leveling a free trial acc to level I stopped at to relearn stuff before picking up old char?
nah, just play your old char is my advice.
i find that restarting is very grating since you vaguely remember everything and it starts to feel tedious.
Missing the intro quests to content you could access pre 30 wouldn't be harmful?
not really. i cant think of anything you would miss. maybe some story.
Funny thing is that sub + expansion is more than just buying the everything pack and getting free month, want that cosmetic stuff though lol
Thanks, I think I'll just play through some of the initial city intro quests then hop to main once enough super early stuff jogs my memory
I'll just go to YouTube or something for missed story later maybe
has any1 done like a 4k texture pack for the game?
BTW, would it be worth going through story quests with healer or dps instead of tank for initial class?
Since tank gets easy dungeon ques if I remember right
Sure, whatever you like
Healer have easy queue too
If you want to be "efficient" you can run it with dps
Though in the end, it doesnt really matter much (since if you play long enough, you'll end up with a number of other classes leveled)
Tl;dr whatever makes you happiest
Guess I'll just ask out of curiosity then, how big of a difference is it for a dps to level with quest as first job vs without quests as second class with that boost from first job?
About the same....? Since doing msq take time too 
about the same in terms of time, just that the content you run is different
if running dungeons over and over bores you to death then without
would definitely be spicier
I tend to prefer dungeon spam with tank/healer for mmos

@lyric warren there hasnt been any serious efforts to make hd texture packs because of the difficulty in managing the raw number of assets and the game engine likely being crap (2k x 2k texture limit)
Just a quick question.. Where my sprout icon used to be, there's now this light blue one? What does it mean?
I'm a new player to FFXIV (love the game) and I'm playing as a SMN now (level 41) - I'm unsure what pet I should be using in dungeons. I'm assuming emerald carbuncle since it has AOE spells - is this correct?
You're in a queue, and it shows
Ohhh
Is there a way too see what i got as a drop from last dungeons ?
I've been in the queue for an hour, I honestly thought that icon was permanent. XD
Thanks
@left cedar if you queued unto something that replaces the sprout until cancel queue or enter the instance
Garuda doesnt come until 44 or 45 I think?

Or am I wrong? I dont recall getting a quest for it
Garuda for AoE, Ifrit for single target
Titan is a very niche pet. Has some uses but they're few and far in between. The other two will usually take precedence.
Yeah ifirit first in smn quest. In dungeons at that level it doesn't really matter if want emerald carby since dps in general is low
Hello all π
Yeah I usually use Ifrit when leveling and in dungeons (DPS seems to be better), someone was giving me grief though for now using an AOE pet, and I couldnt find any definitive answer on the web (lots of old info out there)
Is there a way too see what i got as a drop from last dungeons ?
@bleak halo in game chat log will show what you got recently
It says i got some drops from crystal tower raid but there is nothing in my inventory
it's in your armoury chest.
It isnβt in there

I also didnt get the normal items
that's dumb, by default any gear you get should go to the armoury chest
unless one section is full.
for example if I had 35/35 weapons in my armoury chest, any new ones that I'd get would go straight to my inventory
It is not full. And it is always been like that. Everything i got from dungeon and raids was automatically in my inventory
there's your problem.
But in this case it not 
Use /isearch and part of the name (one word)
Like. /isearch Fuma ?
It will bring up the item if have it and san right click search in that and it'll say exactly where it's hiding
Yeah
Hmm
What's a good way to lvl my other classes when I have one maxed at 50?
Dungeons, palace.of the dead...fates while queing...hunting.logs until.17
Probably dungeon spam or potd if dps queue is bad + daily roulettes
Okay, thank you! π
Did most people skip most of the dialogue of ARR. Iβm level 31 and doing level 24 story mission. It just takes foreverrr to read through all of the story. Plus the cutscenes too.
personally I didn't
also judging by your level I assume you've done some 
overlevelling ain't bad at all but like
best to leave those for a 2nd job
hey so i purchased a story skip as my friend told me to, and i already had a flying mount, do i still need to find all of these aether currents? or is there a way i can find the ones i need?
Is there server issues?
hey guys! Is it possible to build up a glamour to get closer to japanese officer costumes? Like SMT Raidou or like the officers of owari no seraph?
in regards to unlocking Shadowbringers MSQ
You basically need to master 4 different types of classes?
@tiny wedge you will have flying in the zones you've skipped

Nah, onlu need all 4 if you want the secret quest and title
And extra dialogue in a 5.2 cutscene
secret quest?
Yes
There's an extra blue quest after you finished all role quests
Which has some big lore
ah
It basically wraps up and reveals the truth behind al the role quests
which dps class is good to reach to 50 quick?
guess no one knows...
I want to say the skalla set is the closest thing I can think of @rain egret
At least for chest
Specifically fending
I want to go for Samurai but I need a class to reach 50
hummmm, nice, thanks! I thijnk it will be a good start
is it possible to set a hood atop of it?
cape or smth
Donβt think tanks really get a hood as a helmet AFAIK
Capes are part of the chest if they have one, theyβre not a separate slot.
oh i see....
who fumbles, on the laptop the monitor gertz is 120, if I switch from the full screen to window mode without frames, will the gertz work?
okay thanks!

Lemme see, was about to log in
should say im on aether btw XD
Crystal is acting up to
Just a little on fire then
are we still able to get yorha stuff?
Yes
Yes, the event is permanent
Theyre.silly side quests
Comic relief
cool! theyre perfect fit for what i want π
Hoi hoi, question, the "complete online edition" is the one to buy, and has the 30days time right? and checking out as a guest should be fine right?
Everyone is at home rn and not at school
Yes ot.does cause it has the.base.game
Yeah you can buy as a guest
Can I ask a question?
do you just get a code and then claim it or something π€
Yes
Note that your 30 free days start as soon as you redeem that license code
aite cool, used to the upgrading an account method
Does anyone know if Ff7r 1st class from SE store will require a signature when it's delivered?
So redeem it when you have time to play
thanks lads n ladies
Holy shit its gilgameshhh
assume said code is just gonna get sent to muh email :v
Do we get extended time for these errors?
@wooden tulip no idea. I suggest asking in #694581845949415524
@leaden ginkgo the errors only started recently, give them time. Either way the only time I remember them compensating people with free sub time is when they moved the physical datacenters to new locations for NA and EU
Bruh seriously
Mightβve also happened early 2.0 with the large amount of server errors that happened back at launch for about a month or so
Ty @obsidian patio
How long specially has this lasted for?
Not sure, I only woke up a few hours ago.
Based on chat in this channel probably an hour or so?
Is it worth abandoning my lv 32 paladin with some event cosmetics in Gilgamesh to get preferred server bonus coming back to play white mage? I waited to make the char in Gilgamesh a few years back because I heard that where you go for better pop and to raid
Individual servers donβt matter much for raiding anymore.
Raiding isn't mostly done with company?
Party finder is now across your whole datacenter which made a big effort in helping smaller servers
Not always, most people use crossworld linkshells to make groups of people for endgame raiding
Ah
I didnt realise buying the game prompted another 20gb download, bugger 
So it's more a matter of ditching cosmetics and minor progress vs Buff then if server matters less
Thanks
π
I managed to get in
Is it easy to re-aquire things like 'red lady's yukata' and swimsuits from summer events? Or is that more a 'wait for another event is only way' thing?
You guys can probably get in if you keep trying
Depending on the seasonal item you can most likely buy it back from the calamity salvagers in the main cities
I think I saw them as vendor when I looked that up from my old char sheet
old event stuff goes often on mogstation a year later
Anybody else having connection issues with the game all of a sudden? I've checked my router and even opened up another online game to see if it was just my internet, but everything seems to be fine
Is there a really fast way to get company seals? I think trading in gear is pretty fast, but not sure how to get gear that fast.
I need 20k seals for this relic weapon item
Just greed on everything in your Daily roulettes
run your roulettes and need/greed all, probably no faster way
also u can use your poetics for gear which u can turn-in
can the CF gear be exchanged?
You can run dungeons unsync.
It's faster than queueing if you're dps and depending on your lvl it can be a few thousand seals per like ~10 minutes
Like I'm lvl 71 and I run Sohm Al if I need seals fast
does it make a difference what grand company i join?
nah, just pick which looks best for you
only for glam
you can change afterwards anyway
yes and no, you get different cosmetics
Thanks!!!
and some are better situated than others for fast turn ins
I have the base game and first expansion from a few years back, is there any benefit to buying the new expansions before reaching the end of heavensword in progression if starting lv 1?
only unlocking the new races i think
which is the most straightforward melee dps for 1-50
I got to level 15 as rogue but mug is still locked?
hey im looking for a guild for new people any advice ?
@severe night Mug requires a class quest
how long would 1-30 take on preferred server if just rushing MSQ? since the account im picking back up is 32... im thinking of getting 30 on a new char on pref server (to re-experience story and refresh on quests that introduce me to things) for 15 free days now that i see that thats a thing
@left snow its really subjective tbh. you can try dragoon though, should be fairly easy to learn.
@quiet lagoon best way is to check #603040858782040095 or just shout in one of the major cities that you are looking for one
Does blak mage circle works on other black mage?
then hopping back to the lv 32 on gilgamesh
@heady bone 1-30 only? like 2h maybe? maybe more if you got bad queues
for a fresh account its only 2h? o.o
if you got the exp boost and you rush the story, then yeah it doesnt take long.
if you actually take time to watch/read the cutscenes then it will most likely be quite a bit more
@odd bobcat Black Mage Ley Lines only work for the black mage who cast them
Do... Do miqo'te have human ears alongside their cat ears or no?
@grave sphinx Nope, only cat ears! In some hairstyles you can actually see the curve where human ears would go
Oh thank god
Are au'ra unable to really sleep on their sides due to horns?
Same thing goes for Viera, tho none of their hairstyles show where the human ears would be- but there was a bug with baldness and they had no human ears
Counterpoint, custom au'ra beds with a hole in the bed just for their horns to go in lmao

get very fluffy pillows
Anyway thank you this was a very important question to know if I should fear the cat people
lol
i know someone posted when the newest hairstyles got added that one has a visible spot where it curves above human ears and they i guess forgot to adjust it for Miqo
Fun question: A friend of mine is still on the free trial and wants to know when he can get another mount. In his words "preferably something ridiculous".
Aside from the mounts you can buy on the MB (which he can't use on the trial) and the WHMicorn.... what mounts can you actually get at lv35?
where can one change to the new hairstyles?
@mellow cargo you can get mounts from the achievement vendor in gildania for 6 tickets which is 300 achievement points which your friend should be close to by now
Thatβs where you get the behemoth mount too
Can also get those armor things for your Chocobo
Ooh, nice, I forgot about those.
the magitek death claw should fit the "what the even heck" requirement
i don't remember when you access Gold Saucer? But there's some fun mounts there
Hey! So I'm trying to buy ShB (just got back into the game), but it is saying the card declined, but the card has been charged the price for the game FOUR TIMES. Anybody have any ideas (since they are on ticket support online at the moment)?
what level can I do dungeons at and do I need to somehow unlock them first?
If you send me the card number and 3-digit code I can see what I can do. (j/k, seriously don't. I'm not sure if there's anything the internet can do to help with this.)
Maybe call your issuing bank and ask if they saw any problems on their end?
Good luck, 2 hour hold times today.
@hot basin They are unlocked via quests. Some from MSQ and some from side quests with the blue marker. First one is a level 15 MSQ.
<-- that one
is it worth creating first chracter in preffered server?
Completely new player here - currently doing trial but I am fairly sure I'Ll upgrade - what exactly is the endgame.
I am a WoW Refugee
Fashion.
So what exactly is FFXIV's version of Mythic Raid content?
Other people here will give you other answers but they are wrong.
Okay what's the hardest PVE Content at max level?
What does Gloom weather do?
ultimates are the hardest content currently, followed by savage, then regular raids (24 person slightly less difficult because of player count)
frumples: gloom is odin weather in shroud zones edit: odin weather is tension. gloom is mostly visual effect
@restive raven Savage Raids and Extreme trials are the closest youβll get on a regular release schedule
Okay, there are raids and trials too. Almost all is in the form of standalone boss encounters as opposed to dungeons, but compared to WoW it's somewhat more technical/execution-focused (haven't played WoW since early Legion, so idk how it compares to current stuff)
There is only one ultimate raid per expansion, so I wouldnβt consider that comparable
There are also 24-man alliance raids, but by nature their challenge comes from the fact that there are 23 other randos stuck in the instance with you.
Current boss encounters are pretty boring. Even at Mythic+ most of the N'zoth's Raid really comes down to damage
is it worth creating first chracter in preffered server?
there are only 3-4 very mechanical bosses
Heorogar: yes because of xp buff
Compared to what I remember of wow's endgame, ffxiv bosses are pretty technical, instant kill mechanics abound. They all take place in a single room so resets are fast.
is it worth creating first chracter in preffered server?
@left snow yes, unless you already have a character like 50+ levels into the MSQ
Fair enough that sounds pretty great
I like good thematic places but I can also deal with just boss room
Alliance raids are thematic as heck.
not to mention FF3-err, crystal tower
Okay this all sounds pretty great. Now I just need to ugrade and actually reach that point
Have fun
Don't rush, there's a lot to do π
@left snow try not to dm questions
Most of the time it is better to let multiple players see the same question
1 single person doesn't always have the right answer
should I go preffered on Primal or Crystal?
Aether preffered are locked
Regarding Primal vs Crystal, the general consensus is Crystal is a tad more casual / role play focused compared to Primal
I think
we only have one option for glamour dyes? or can we dye different parts of the same equipment?
Crystal is considered the βRPβ datacenter
Is the easter event just chicken catching in a fursuit?
Or have I missed the npc?
I saw the dialogue that mentioned more quests
There will be more next week
Ah. Cool. Thanks
@rain egret you can only dye what the game shows for that item, no multiple dye spots
i see...., guess i found how i want to be
cloth wise
thanks for everyones help :3
it's very yasunori kato
wise
if you get any suggestions feel free π
too bad there's no "dark monk" with weird psycho power-esque stuff
i'd love a dark monk in this game
How do I unlock potd? "The House That Death Built" hasn't shown up for me, what are the conditions?
Into a copper hell?
yeah, that's the msq for it
Ye, I have done that quest
hrm
The quest
what does Nojiro Marujiro (at the inn) say when try to interact?
If I enter a dungeon with a preformed party as a Blue mage, do I get a ton of exp from it, or is the exp normal level?
I want to say normal xp but I don't remember π

Blue mages donβt get boosted experience from dungeons
Only from overworld monsters
mzng: then only thing i can suggest is check if have completed it or started it already (wood wailer at Issom-Har in south shroud)
He isn't there... Have I started it? I feel like an idiot now
is the msq boost worth it if I care nothing for story?
if have completed another time earlier it should be able to just go straight to quarrymill
otherwise I'm out of ideas other than maybe log off and on again if have completed copper hell today
@left snow no because you still have to play through some of the story and the game is like 70% story
you're paying to skip what you paid for
Heorogar: story skip is mostly a personal choice if want to pay to not burn though msq (you still have to level / equip to access heavensward + areas)
check journal side quests tab
did you go to Gridania
