I think around lvl 30? You unlock it with a quest in Quarrymill. If unlocked, you can do it from lvl 1 onwards.
At lv17
I believe it requires some MSQ prog
At least until the point you visit the other cities
You have to finish into a copper hell
Not really
Dialogue options just give different reactions then goes back into the same conclusion
sounds familiar, think i finished that one, ty @raven sage
It was the copperbell dungeon
I'm guessing the Palace queues for 51-60 are a lot better than the lower ones?
Yes
I know ideally you wanna get a party in there
Just got 500k for getting to floor 20 with +100% lol
I don't however think this is for tomb farming
it is not the best option for tome farming, no

After roulettes there's a huge dropoff in the amount of tomestones you get. If you really want them, I think a few select dungeons or alliance raids would be fastest. Or hunting old A/S-Ranks.
aetherochemical research facility for poetics spam iirc
and sohm-al hard for gc seals
about every 15 minutes?
When i get to heavensword, can I get all the flying aetherites without doing msq?
No
At least one of the aether currents for every zone is locked behind the final MSQ for that area.
Nope. The last aethercurrent for every zone is locked behind the last
for that zone
And many of the
currents are also locked behind progression.
That makes no sense. :(
basically, you are forced to walk through the zone at least once before you get to fly through it
All of the currents on the field are available almost as soon as you reach each new map but the side quests that give the remaining currents are usually unlocked in steps as you progress with the last being given as you're leaving the zone.
Yeah that sucks lol.
If i wanted to level a second job, is it faster to take the primary one to 80 first and then level the second job or does it not matter?
Is there a reason i cant find POTD?
@snow dock You don't need a job at 80 to get the armory bonus. Your secondary job just has to be lower leveled.
Have you done the
for it yet?
@mortal nebula Palace of the Dead is unlocked in Gridania first, near the inn. From there you can find it in Quarrymill in South Shroud.
"The house that death built" starts in the carline canopy in gridania
Smug i have no idea. I dont see it in my duty finder
Ill have to locate it and see.
Im level 45 and progressing realllly slow
Nees a couple levels to progress to 50 faster
Palace can't be reached with the normal duty finder. You can enter it only via the NPC in Quarrymill who takes you there once unlocked.
Is there a chest piece that looks the same as the Swalloskin coat for DoH, but for any other job ?
Ah, ill go check it out!
That chest piece I mean
Not that I'm aware of? Swallowskin coat and the similar piece bought with white scrips are DoH only as far as I know. I don't think there's a normal glam version of it atm.
That scarf is pretty unique.
A shame
so I'm trying to become a gladiator in ul dah as a lvl 70 SAM and it won't let me accept the quest cause I'm not a gladiator
well how do I even become one then lol
Do you have the weathered short sword weapon in your armoury chest?
I do not
any cool mounts for the lv50?
Way of the Gladiator should be what provides you with the weapon
Where Can I get lvl70 gear?
@leaden ginkgo u can buy it from kugane in kogane dori market
you can't unsync command missions
@brave loom Extreme primals have a chance to drop mounts. Horses that are themed after the primal they dropped from. With the final one being a golden horse/dragon. Each of the beast tribe quest chains open up a shop in which you can buy a mount at the end. The second main story dungeon at level 50 gives you one of the magitek armors that you've seen around as well. There are quite a few actually.
I feel like such an idiot for asking but was wondering if anyone was willing and able to help me with arr sightseeing log 48 please? I have been trying off and on for so long I'm beginning to feel hopeless about getting that one done and I dont usually give up on anything. Lol. Thanks in advance.
@leaden ginkgo Once you finish the quest Stormblood at level 70, the poetics shop in Rhalgr's Reach opens up as well.
@gloomy ice So before I finish stormblood I can't exchange my excess tomestones for lvl 70 gear?
I'm currently at "The die is cast"
Vendors or MB would be the only option before then, yes.
@white sinew you should be able to right click the dialogue box and change the size from there
yeah idk
The tiny pop up windows that appear above NPCs head, however, can't be interacted with like that.
it won't let me accept the quest
@velvet reef Does it give you some kind of error message? Or is the marker red?
@fallen pollen According to https://tylian.net/sslog/ it's North Shroud (18.5, 19.6) between 12pm and 5pm.
That means youpicked it up at some point
Be a gladiator Yumi
That's the quest after the actual quest you do to become a gladiator so you need to find or buy a sword for it
I have the sword cause I just bought it
the first quest should have given you a sword
@ocean pivot hurricane know where the log is, problem is I am unable to get it even with increased speed.
Yeah because now you've swapped to the right class Yumi
Ok then yeah, if it isn't in your inventory you can buy a weathered shortsword from the weapons vendor. Equip that and you should be good to go.
Oh slow on the take rip
But yes that should work
You probably picked it up ages ago and forgot
It's not weird
probably lol
It happens often
Not that I'm aware of, no.
I forgot, did I need to finish ARR relics to start HW relics?
no
what are relics?
You do not. ARR relic lets you skip the first step for HW relic but it's too much work to skip one easy step.
the relic quests chains are separate from each other
Relic weapons are long term investment weapons. You upgrade them over a long period of time. All have pretty unique looks but require a lot of effort put into them usually. They're usually meant as a side thing to work towards during content lulls. The work usually pays off near the end of the expansion cycle however as they tend to rival best in slot raid weapons with the proper investment.
they also look cool
What are all the omega quests versions?
super dumb question, how do i transfer items between characters?
Deltascape, alphascape and what else?
@leaden ginkgo Right click them and "Trade"
hello! i have a purchase question
do i only have to purchase the shadowbringer collectors edition?
@leaden ginkgo Sigmascape would be the second tier. Delta is first and Alpha is last.
Ok. Just those 3?
ive never play and im looking to get into ff14
Yes, the Shb expansion comes with all the previous things
okay thank you so much @young fjord
wait do i just right click a character in the character select?
So to get full experience you either need to buy FFXIV starter edition+Shadowbringer expansion
Or Collection complete edition

@leaden ginkgo You mean trade between your own characthers?
@fiery sandal you should buy the "Complete Edition"
Oh trading between characters on your own account is much more difficult. It can't be done directly. You'd need an intermediary or something like the FC chest.
@leaden ginkgo why so?
Buying Starter Edition + Shadowbringers is the same as buying the Complete Edition. Shadowbringers on its own can't be played without the Starter Edition.
You can also just trade a frind stuff and have them trade you back
Also note that trading across data centers is not possible.
also
ive never really played the ff series. will i be at any disadvantage as a new player?
Nahhhh
You will miss out on a few callbacks and such, but nothing that will hinder you from enjoying the story
There are tons of references to old games but it doesn't really ruin the experience
Nah. No FF game directly connects to any other. You can come in blind to any of them and have the same experience as anyone else.
No mainline game directly connects to any other
Barring, of course, direct sequels like X-2 and XIII-2
awesome! just purchased the complete edition. ok ok last one
Yeah
Sub
gotcha
WoW got really stale after maxing my iLVL. so im trying some new stuff
As someone who used to raid during WotlK, im enjoying this game more and im not even endgame raiding
To me that is what I like about this game, that there are plenyty of things to do outside of just endgame raiding
is lvl 52 dragoon move, heavensward only?
Yes, you need expansion to get past lvl 50
Hey folks, I'm a returning player. When I'm looking for a FC to join, do I need to find one on my world, or just my datacentre?
@regal pumice Same world
Yeah. The skills from 52-60 can only be unlocked with the HW job quests. Those don't open until you reach HW itself.
yeah see originally
you'd start the heavensward story at lv50
because the level cap was 50 up until heavensward was released
nowadays you can go well past lv50 long before you ever actually reach heavensward lol
wait why would you need to find one in your world
can't you just visit another world and join an fc on that one
Leaderbord rankings
what about them
Yoshi mentioned cross world FCs at one point but that's something that's a long ways out. For now FCs are contained to their home worlds.
oh.
They sort fc leaderboards contribution via server, my guess is that currently system would go haywire should they allow cross world FC
that's a clearer explanation than just "leaderboard rankings"
there's almost no point to separate servers nowadays...
At most, it's size which in turn translates into economy
They are aspiring to merge data centers into a mega server but that is going to take a long time. It's just a crazy dream of theirs at present.
@gloomy ice Where you heard that? I don't think it's true based on ping ec.t
Yoshi-P mentioned it some time ago
they would like to break down the barriers between data centers
Yoshi's mentioned it briefly in interviews but also says not to expect anything concrete any time soon
but that said, its not something that is going to happen for quite some time
what suffix equipment is samurai?
Striking
ty
And for accessories slaying
what's the name of the main song for shadowbringers?
Ye
What is it saying?
that is not the main theme for shadowbringer
atleast whatever plays when i click on it
that's what spotify says lol
I'd answer but god damn ads
Hello, I've played the trial version of this game a very long time ago, now, when i try to download a trial i get this message:'"Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.Please log in using a Square Enix account that has not registered a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account." So my question is - if i buy this game on steam, will i get free 30 days? "Includes 30 days of free game time for all newly created service accounts." This message from steam page bothers me.
Yes you will
should get the 30d, only ages ago the trial was time limited so with an old account u can't do another trial
Unless you make a new account
I'd argue it's worth just making a new Mogstation account
Get the trial
Unlimited time is pretty good
Is mog station account separate from square? I've tried to log in with my square name and pass and it doesnt work
Guess I just make a new account, to be shure. Thanks for the help.
Why does some of my squadron members have augmented gear and the others dont?
Maybe it's to do with their level?
theyre all 55+
Once you do floor 50 you can just choose to start at 50
maybe some of them havent done the lvl 50+ squadron missions?
Ah I'm on 40-50 now that be why
Idk Satanic not like it matters anyway
You will also have to remove the save file to choose to start from 1 or 50
Squadron gear doesn’t seem to matter. It appears to be purely cosmetic from what I can tell.
It says I don't meet strength requirements to do 40-50
Get more aetherpool value!
Then start the other save file and hunt silver chests
^
You can remove it
Aetherpool levels carry cross save files so yeah clear the second file and start looking for silvers
I see I see. Nice exp though. 31-40 gave 750k
And I guess if I spam it I can buy a few pieces for my PLD to Farm dungeons
Allagan ones
I'll buy skip for HW but not Stormblood
Too expensive

I noticed ppl have recurring names like surrender of souls etc what are they
@solemn delta it's only story up to floor 100
@native ingot its from the quest "“An Ending to Mark a New Beginning.”"
Lol 1-10 I got my arm from 8-11
I see
Is there a Recruiment channel for Primal data center?
I don't have my msq on and I can't remember where it was
I cannot find it
How can I find it
Where can I change it
You can locate the next MSQ on the top left corner of your screen @native ingot
If not, open up your quest log and click the completed button
Roughly how much to craft a decent set of 60 armour so I can do dungeons?
I'm assuming there is npcs I can buy 60 grey NQ stuff from too
How far in is the heavens ward expansion
I got there in about a day, but I skipped post stuff
@ripebaer
oof
you can find gear doing dungeons if you dont want to craft
i usually skip 60 tbh
Problem is I can't do 60 dungeons with 50 gear lol?
My FC might craft for nothing I dunno
ishgard/foundation sells nq ilvl 255 gear or use poetics for shire gear
not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have a more technical question.
I DC directly before/after A LOT of cutscenes. In dungeons, quests, etc. From google this seemed to have been a really common problem, but is considered to be mostly fixed. It is definitely not my internet - everything else runs perfectly, and cutscenes seem to be the trigger. Is there any known fix?
Patch comes out tomorrow, right?
Yes
Finally a good reason to return
@leaden ginkgo HW is the first of three expansions. While there are fewer quests per expansion, they are more information dense. All are meant to be roughly the same length as ARR. Less fluff from here on at least.
I am currently level 18 but the MSQ quest I am at is only level 13, should I stop doing fates that are on the way to where I’m going?
I’m even having to level sync down to do the fates that I go through on my way to my next quest
Anyone know what these pants are for SAM? They’re amazing
It linked to Eorzean website but says link is no longer available
@dry quiver At your low level, that kind of overleveling is normal. You'll eventually catch up to a point, even if you continue doing FATEs, where your MSQ will require you to be a higher level than your current level.
Particularly in the late ARR and early(ish) for each expansion where there are only a handful of quests per level bracket which don't give a lot of xp.
What is the cool down on a healers raise ability
What
Basically, as soon as you finish casting it, you can cast it again
There is no cooldown
Oh ok
It is limited entirely by your own MP
Raise spells have a 7 second cast time and cost around 1/4th of your total mana
What does have a cooldown is the ability Swiftcast, which has a 60s cooldown.
And is often used in conjunction with Raise spells to quickly revive tanks or other healers as opposed to hard casting the spell.
@leaden ginkgo hard to tell, since the semi-low picture quality and shape of the legs makes me think those are thigh boots instead of pants, but I can’t seem to find boots with that pattern on them
already found it for them, wynne
👌
!action Swiftcast
Can you enter another server's Firmament?
no
Oof
Hi, i'm a new player and i just bought 1 month and just after that i saw that skin
If i buy again 1 month i'll have it ?
Or i need to buy 90 days for it?
Total days of subscription
I'm thinking of playing a Ninja because it seems like a fast job, i read it's pretty hard though. Assuming i git gud at it, is it a strong class compared to others so the skill investment pays off? I'm mostly scared of stuff like a boss moving ruining combos, thus ruining dps uptime
!faq meta
Ninja has a bit of a button-mashy burst rotation but outside of that it’s pretty easy going
So if i buy 1 month again that will count 60 days and that's good? ;o @obsidian patio
Yep
Just to clarify, there's no way to set job-specific keybinds that change when I change jobs?
Nope.
I see thanks ! 
well, this will be a challenge
wew, how can there be no changing skill bars in a game where you can learn every job, thats weird
Hotbars can be job specific
oh, keybinds, i see
i just got the game and haven't made a character yet is there a world that is more social than others?
just choose a world with a ⭐ that indicates preferred world
dungeons and stuff are data center based
you queue with people in your data center group
okay
which datacenter for NA?
Crystal Aether or Primal
Aether/Primal/Crystal
all of them are located in the same physical space
so your ping is the same across them
thank you
If an item says alchemist level 40 is required to repair a piece of equipment, that's also what's necessary to create it, right?
If I want to get something crafted is there an avenue for that or is the market board my best bet?
do beast tribe quests scale with your level? i know for DOH/L beast tribe quests they only go through certain levels before they drop off, but ive never done DOM/W beast tribe quests. do they do something similar?
so ARR beast tribes are lvl 1-50 and xpac beast tribes are their respective xpac's 10 levels?
you can start palace of the dead at lvl 1, provided you've unlocked it
and unlocking requires 17 and completion of "Into Copper Hell"
oh i thought there was a minimum level for potd
though i guess it may be ill-advised to start at 1 seeing as you dont have many skills
oh wait that
You get separate level in POTD
You get your skills ibside
yeah it makes you 50
You level up inside and get skills
i forgot about that
Only after their respective expansion bracket
actually
yeah so like dont do arr after 50 or hw after 60
for expansion beast tribes they're not that awful to do even after their lvl bracket
its not as harsh as doh/dol cut off
also noted
ughh
i wanna start playing this game
my internet sped is 400+ mbs but my game is downloading at 5-6 mbs
In your opinion, what's more fun /feels better, Ninja or Samurai?
Personally Ninja
It's all personal preference. I've been learning SAM recently as I realized I'm not that great at NIN. Meanwhile my friend reached the opposite conclusion. Couldn't wrap their head around SAM but took to NIN like it was nothing.
Need advice ; so here's the situation, I recently came back to the game, haven't finished SB (i finished the first like part where u kill that empire guy dragon, and i think the last thing i've done is The Burn) My character is lvl 70, has ilvl 380 crafted gear (was worth alot back in the day x') ) only has sch/smn leveled, no crafters, no nothing, was able to get the gear from a friend crafting it for me, now my Dilema is, should I just stay on this character, I mean if i make a new char, i'll have the road to 70 buff, and i'll be able to get more jobs and crafters and stuff to lvl 60-70 much easier, BUT the biggest issue with this plan is.... ARR and HW questlines...they suck ! they bore me to death and idk if i'll be able to do it, and i can't afford skip potions ;-; ARR is fine, but HW is just terrible
oops yep, HW** sowwy

ngl this is the first time I'm hearing someone say HW sucks but you're entitled to your opinion
Leveling crafters and gatherers has become much faster since the 5.1 changes. It might be worth it to stick with your current character.
honestly, no point in starting over just for road to 70 buff
yeah
especially if you're not a fan of replaying thru the first two parts
stick with your current character then
well not entirely, the main portion of it is great, the post HW quests before SB, are just horrible x')
even then i still wouldn't restart just for road to 70
leveling alt jobs without it isn't really that time consuming
like its a nice buff and if you were a new player i would say restart
but you probably have a bunch of things from past events, and a ton of things already unlocked
Besides leveling an alt job on your existing character would be like starting fresh with the buff. Armory bonus for lower level jobs is +100% from 1-70.
Whats the gimmick on alexander?
what's armory bonus? 😮
with the temporal thing
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
@signal garnet Alexander can time travel
Keep doing the raid story, it explains it very well IMO
im on savage
Depending what debuff you get determines where you go
whenever the time stop thing comes I usually die
Look.up guides to the timestops
Oh you mean the fight itself. 🤦♂️
You die cause you stood on the wrong spot
where can I find guides?
The old YouTube video guides should still be accurate for time stop
For unsync you need to know at least timestops
And perhaps inception depending on how many people you got
And judgement crystals
With a full group should probably die around the time of judgment crystals

Dps depending
Which of Monk, Ninja and Samurai has the most off gcd abilities in its rotation?
I say Ninja
Though Samurai uses a decent amount cause of Shinten and kenki in general
hello guys, I have an account that i haven't used in months and it only has the base game, if I buy "FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]" will it come with a 30 day subscription? or will I have to also buy it?
If you already have the base game then you do not get another 30 days no
Please note that the FINAL FANTASY® XIV: Complete Edition pack also includes FINAL FANTASY® XIV: HEAVENSWARD, FINAL FANTASY® XIV: STORMBLOOD and FINAL FANTASY® XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS. The 30-day free play period included with purchase can only be applied once to each platform on a single service account. Moreover, this 30-day free play period is not applicable to platforms on which a license has already been registered.
@faint flare Thanks, i'm scared mostly of stuff like "you have x seconds to finish your combo, but the boss teleported away now your dps is gone" stuff. How does Ninja look from that perspective?
thanks for the answer 🙂
Most bosses are designed so you finish up combos at the correct time if you do your rotation 100% perfect.
Some downtime can happen during bursts but people adjusts rotations to account for it
Fights are scripted out the rear so rotations can be adjusted for the fighr
I have a PS4 Pro and 4K TV and whenever I try to put it on Pro mode the hud gets super small. Any way to fix?
No
I just bought the collectors edition and I am from NA can anyone recommend me a server in NA?
Any preferred server
yes
Dang
@narrow arch I don't recall where it is in the system config menu (display options maybe?) but there should be an option to blow up the size of your hud up to 200%
So, I just did my first dungeon and the game said I got commendations and a window would appear but I didn't see the window...and I left.
Is there a way to see previous dungeon info?
If I get the latest expansion
The previous ones are free right
The commendation window pops up wherever your notices pop up (for loot and stuff). When you get commendations they appear in the system message and on your reputation page
Yes
Shadowbringers brings all expansions
Even if it’s a code
Yes
Everything is a code
As long as the code is for the same platform as the base game, you'll get it
I managed to fix the hud but the main menu is super small
Any way to change the size of that?
@narrow arch try system config > display settings > user interface size 150%
That’s what the UI interface is already at. I’ve managed to adjust everything except the actual main menu itself
After Fae have we got any new beast tribe quest?
There’s the Qitari but they’re a gatherer beast tribe
I have a lvl 67 DOM and i want to start leveling a DOW. I have read faq altlvlguide, it says stormblood though, so i assume it might not be up to date. It basically says to grind dungeons, is that still the fastest way?
Gathering 😪
Yes
Do they get cool mount tho
!mount Great Vessel of Ronka
This ancient Ronkan urn was discovered empty save for a peculiar flute, the sound of which caused the vessel to suddenly become thus occupied. “Where did it come from?” the curious may be compelled to inquire, but the wise know better than to question the divine.
Yuqurl Manl - The Rak'tika Greatwood - 18 Qitari Compliments (Purchase)
Yes they do
It's beautiful
Gathering levequests give an insane amount of exp at low levels. Until you hit 50, you'll routinely get 3-5 levels per leve.
@narrow arch not quite sure then. :/ the main menu looks like a normal size for me and I’m on PS4 Pro
Can’t remember what settings I’ve tweaked if any
I don't find any need for it tho, i only re sub for content.
It looked like that too for me until I put it into 4K mode. Then it shrunk super small
But thnx
Is there ever any reason to use RDM's reprise skill? seems pretty pointless since it's a gcd
You use it for extended movement
Its actually pretty efficient and good for fixing mana and long movement periods
Where you can’t stop to use a short-cast spell like jolt or the procs
Ah, I guess that makes sense.
Does anyone have that shb character race/gender distribution chart that was going around a couple weeks ago
Hey, not sure if this is the right place but.... I've been playing a ton of the free trial and am finally wanting to upgrade to the real game. I'm trying to get the complete edition on the SE store but am having issues at checkout. The "review order" button is just greyed out after entering all the required information. There's also a box which says "Billing and shipping address cannot be changed once an order is placed.".
Any ideas?

hey guys, I have a question...I just bought the base game + expansion on Steam and I have a question...wil the 30 day that comes with the base game start to count only when I activate it on mogstation? can I enjoy the trial version as much as I want and only activate it when I think it's necessary?
It starts the moment you put the code in
ok, thank you so much
cuz this and the following week are gonna be really busy for me so I was willing to activate it later this month
Hello folks, query if that's okay!
So for Palace I just delete my 61-70 then start again 51-60?
Yes
So I just started playing today, it's a spot of fun actually. I was advised to try the Trial Account and while I'm still deciding whether or not I want to go beyond 35, I had a question.
The Mog Station has Shadowbringers (and I assume the rest of the expacs) listed at 59.99, but Steam has it at $24. If I installed the game without Steam, would I need to uninstall it and -reinstall- on Steam to use a Steam purchased version?
From what site?
Don’t trust key resellers like G2A and Eneba
@main halo the thing you saw at 60 was the complete edition, which has both the base game and expansions
But to answer the second part of your question, you can’t mix steam and non-steam PC licenses
You can only go one or the other
The "complete Edition" on Steam is up for $36.06. Is that incorrect?
22.49 on psn but stream I think the same
Yeah they’re having a sale currently
That’s only shadowbringers, it doesn’t include the base game
This is so confusing...
Complete edition is currently 35.99 on PSN
Question - it says free trial can't team up. If I bought the game, could I invite my free trial persons?
It said whole of April weird
Yes. Free trial players can be in a party, they just can’t make their own
@main halo sorry I’m getting stuck in multiple conversations. The complete edition for $36 is accurate
But I would need to reinstall the steam version of the game?
Yep just checked 22.49 April sale
Just be aware that if you buy on steam, you have to buy future expansions on steam and you can only play on steam.
Yes
Well I'll just keep on the Trial for now.
So what’s the fastest way to level classes now? It used to be POTD, is that still the case?
Why does 41-50 give more exp than 51-60?
Because you can directly queue for 51-60
From duty finder?
As a floor set
From the selection
Thanks!
That's still solid exp right up to 70?
potd? no
no
you wanna do heaven on high for 61-70
yea
at this point you might as well buy a level potion tbh
Nah I've got 3 classes at 60 now two from 1
One from 50
That's a waste of money buying a 70 to me
should be 3400 or 3200 shb hunt nuts
Hello! New player here. Myself and two friends just bought the game and are looking for some help choosing a good server. We have some friends on Leviathan but I read that's a hardcore raiding server and has bad prices (whatever that means). The 3 of us are more going to be casual-ish players. I believe, if I've read correctly, we don't have to go on Levi to play with my friends, but just any server on Primal data center. Any recommendations?
Server doesn't matter for that
i would suggest a preferred server on the same datacenter, so you can still group up with your friends
^
Doing content is done across the entire data center so anything like "raid server" is outdated
just FYI
preferred servers are usually marked with a star. they give you a big exp boost until level 70 for some time, which you should totally make use of
Is that 'star' in-game or on server page?
During character creation
Server sterotypes are dead with cross data centre party finder and world visiy
on the server selection, after you're done creating your character
but its lamia right now
By big boost, it's double exp
also if your friends in leviathan are in a free company/FC (a guild, basically)
you might as well join leviathan, because cross-server FCs are not a thing yet
It's a great boost but if you go on a preferred server and not leviathan then you can't join the same "guild" or free company as it's called in this game as your friends if they are all in the same one
So there is a trade off
You can still go and visit them but man being in the same FC makes life a lot easier

Hmm, okay. Double XP sounds nice but don't really want to pay $10 to swap servers once we use up that XP bonus.
Yeah I don't blame you
Oh, and thank you for the help all 
Ive just unlocked the GC adventurer squadron function, does it matter what types of guys i recruit?
classes change the stat distributions of them but you can swap those when you want with items so not really no
What level do poetics buy you up until?
level 70 gear
Cool cool
Wait, if I've skipped stormblood I can buy 70 gear right or do I need to be 70?
My plan is to use deep dungeons to get first class to 70
Having the full poetic gear would be nice but 2000 cap
I think my friend said if I go to stormblood vendor I can buy it
nvm im fine
isn't there any way to contact game support RN?
i've been updating for 10 hours straight because its running 40mb/s
and it just reseted to 0 at 0.20mbs so thats extra 1170 minutes
Do you think we're getting the itinerant moogle after tonight 😮
uuh so how exactly do i level a second job with PotD? Just go in at lvl 1 and keep going?
I'm doing that now lol
More or.less
Naked on a lancer lol
Hello, i'm interested in trying out this game but i'm not sure what to purchase in order to get the full game (Everything up till what's latest expansion)
ive read something about jumping to floor 51 or something, what is that about?
Once you clear floor 50 you can start at 51
so the jumping to 51 thing doesnt apply to leveling alt jobs?
@prime harbor is the one on the left the upgraded edition?
Yes it does
Based on the price I think the one on the left has the collectors editions?
It's just not... Gonna be ideal at level 1 cause it scales and your gonna go in with every skill up to 60 😂
I'm gonna have no idea what abilities to use lol
So lets say my lvl 1 job jumps in at 51, is the exp i'm receiving afterwards scaled back to my lvl 1?
You could buy the one on the right for the complete edition, and the one on the left if you want the extra mount + misc items
Yes
what's the advatange of doing it then?
theyre both complete editions, one just has extra stuff
Your not gonna get 1.3m at level 1
where do i find DoL gear lvl 51 vendor?
@shrewd relic Not sure what means i created free trial account few days ago and i'd like to purchase the full game now, can i see what i'm getting if pay 17$ more ?
It's still the fastest
Ishgard @lyric warren
ty
My pld for example is 53, he got 300% exp and 1.4m for a 7 minute run
It gets better and better as you go
@prime harbor Grani MountWind-up Fran MinionRevolver Gunbreaker Weapon
@shrewd relic Thanks
how is going in at 51 and then getting the exp scaled back to my lvl 1 character faster than going in at lvl 1 with my lvl 1 character then?
thats what im not understanding
The experience you get for your outside level scales to you.
Exp scales
For the early levels it’s like 1-2 runs per level
🦐
Level 1 I get 500k on PLD
Ripe, I think you might be confusing them by mixing together floor sets and the inside level.
Basically, every 10 floors is a single set you queue for using the POTD guy in south shroud. After beating the boss on the 10th floor you get a lump of experience for your outside level based on your outside level and the floor set you completed
The level you are inside of POTD does not change the experience you get outside.
i assume lvl 51 is significantly harder than lvl 1 then?
No it's easy
Not too much, starting at floors 51-60 automatically puts your inside level at 60
Since you’re skipping the leveling that you would’ve done in the earlier floor sets
Alright, so basically theres never a reason not to go for 51 with a fresh character, except if i dont want to be overwhelmed by getting 100 skills at once?
Is the difficulty adjusted if i go in solo?
No
Do you get your job abilities in potd if you don't have the crystal?
No
Yeah that's what I thought
Alright, my main is not at 51 though, but at lvl 11. I guess that means i can just go to my alt job right now and start at lvl 1
since going to 51 with my main wont be faster than with the alt

I would get to 51 with main 41-50 floor seemed actually a tiny bit hard
Boss you need to know
Ask party
help...
You probably need to be a higher level for the right Gulleye trait
is level 44
Which pool are you trying to fish?
the long climb is a lv40 fishing pool which requires the lvl 50 gulleye trait
you're 44, you only have gulleye II which lets you fish from 30 and below
didnt stop me from getting a level 45 fish at level 28
because the fishing hole itself is lv20 or whatever
boooo
it doesn't matter what lvl the fish is
ARR fishing is weird
what matters is what lvl the hole is
aight to upper la noscea than
Ho do i change my class to samurai? I did the quest that unlocks the class and got the soul, but it says i need to change my class first
I'm in the gladiators guild, but that seems to be the wrong place
Lamia is restricted right now 😦
what does the new patch entail?
Shb relics and skysteel tools
So is heavens high the same idea?
How long does a restriction usually take to lift on a preferred world?
Nearly 61
what classes gets relic all?
Yes
Wait until late at night when noone is on @signal rover
And heaven on high is the 61 equilivant to potd
Where do i buy 70 gear please?
I've got all these places I've never visited
For poetics
Level 70 poetics vendor is in Rhalgr's reach, doesn't unlock until you finish Stormblood
Sorry new here o// but how do I go about finding a hunt train to grind nuts?
when I manage to get to storm blood, are the dogs easily farmable? Like can I do unsyncs and get to them in a few minutes like you can with alexander?
did you buy the story skip and the level skip?
@hasty nebula Generally asking in Limsa Lominsa or Eulmore will do. You can also ask whenever you see the train happening
@hasty nebula Generally asking in Limsa Lominsa or Eulmore will do. You can also ask whenever you see the train happening
@obsidian patio Thanks! And do I need to accept all the bills? I'm new to the hunts
I've got 3 60s in just over a day or so
Also, what datacenter are you in Neo? I can give you a hunting discord link depending on your datacenter
One is SAM
You don’t need the bills for the hunt train
Darn, don’t have one on-hand for them. You can try asking in #retired-eu-datacentres once you pick an EU datacenter role
(If anyone has a hunting discord for Chaos you’re more than welcome to post it for Neo)
Ah awesome thanks for that! 😄
Can anyone answer my question from earlier?
You’ll want a full party for most of them, but they’re all pretty easy to do unsynced
How can a preferred world be closed to character creation.. Isn't the whole point that those servers are lower pop so they should have room?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
im a MMO vet player, what package would you suggest me to buy now that it is on sale
i went from every other MMO last i played was BDO if that info would help
its not an action rpg
more akin to wow with cooldowns and spell casting
I'd say just try out up to hw and see if you like it
Does it matter what training regiment i chose for my adventureres quadron?
If yes, what's the general idea?
It's way more fun than bdo
The top 6 choices change what the training stats are, which are extra stats for missions
The bottom choice doesn’t move stats around and is purely for experience
Bdo was a horrific grind fest with no end game and terrible p2w
With great combat sadly all it had going
yeah i understand that, but is e.g. physical more important than mental?
how do i decide that
Depends on what classes your recruits are.
You can either have your trainings cover their weak spot, or have it be fairly balanced
looks like an archer, warrior pugilist and healer
It also depends on the stats that the mission wants
chat is it faster to level fsh thru ocean fishing or leves?
can I start healing at 30 as a arcanist?
you have to go unlock scholar but yes otherwise
Ocean fishing is super fast when it’s up.
@signal garnet so im guessing the game is more focused on PVE? with all the roles such as tank DPS and healer,
im not really into lore and stuffs i just want to enjoy a game with other people, you think this game is for me then?
you can't heal AS an arcanist
@rocky grotto I came from WoW and the games are pretty similar. I actually prefer FFXIV though
Has the trinity that you're probably used to, tank, healer, and dps
I havent played much pvp so I wouldnt know, but the PVE is pretty fun
Raids are fun and there is a pvp mode (dont think many people play the pvp as opposed to pve) But if you get to the raids its a blast. But that all depends on how willing youa re to grind
pvp is eh
and tbh I skipped all the cutscenes but i'm having a great time regardless
I do reccomend the story when you get to heavensward and onwards
it seems to be picking up really nicely
before that point its a slog
i'm looking at samurai rotations, and there's a potion like icon sometimes in the middle of it that i cant find in my skills, whats up with that?
Complete edition it is ❤️
have fun!!
thank you very much for the help ❤️
@signal garnet sorry, what do you mean?
!action Midare setsugekka
You mean this skill?
no
pretty sure they mean the str pot
^
which isn't a skill, its an item
you can craft or by potions
and they're usually popped when you're about to do fat damage in a rotation
@snow dock potion of strength: you buy it off the marketboard
the potion in rotations are pretty much there for the min-maxers
or people doing savage
You can skip the potion in non savage stuff
Hello, I'm new to crafting & gathering and i want to at least try it.
There are some questions i would like to ask about it:
-
Is there a recommended guide on what to do each level milestone on each job?
-
Is there any helpful sites for gear and macros?
(I did research online about crafting and gathering but i was not sure what to follow)
What's the difference between the 70 gear I and II? II is same price but looks like it has much better stats
So I have a question for anyone in the Primal datacenter. I am thinking of transferring from Aether to Primal to play with a friend. I was wondering before I did, how difficult is it to find groups to do content with? (EX or Savage content. Hunts. Roulette queue times, etc) I just want to see if its worth transferring or having my friend transfer to Aether since thats all I can form an opinion around.
Primal is pretty active in raiding too
I hate to add to the pile but I got a question as well
@solemn delta basically that, the ryu set is an older tier of gear
I'm trying to find natural black hairstyles, wavy and curly, and not the god damn afro, anyone know if that kinda stuff exists?
Right got ya.
Just gotta figure out what accessories to go for
So many differ on opinion on tenacity
@sly jasper I generally do the quests as they become available for the experience
At 70 accesories are job locked anyway
is there a beast tribe leveling guide somewhere?
Absolutely. Just noticed this. Thank you
Haha should see the upgrades I'll be getting 😂
1190 armor body, +1025
That's more than my overall armor right now
@bright badger none that I can immediately call off-hand. :/
@sturdy mason not really. Just do all their dailies for them every day.
The dailies themselves are simple enough that they usually don’t need a guide, besides maybe a few of the ARR ones due to doing stuff like transporting items or steal thing around
I don't even know where all the beast tribes are tbh
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Beast_Tribe_Quests
Is this a good start?
!faq poetics
Yeah that looks pretty concise
after clicking review order nothing happends
is this the right channel to ask help on this?
Am i buying tome gear of fending, slaying or aiming for a SAM?
Slaying for accessories, striking for left-side
Still can't log in to the launcher to actually install the game, it's been about a day since I bought the game, this isn't going well 😛
@rocky grotto what about clicking “review” below review order? I’m not too familiar with the square enix store in how they do stuff
still nothing happens :3
Can i not continue a PotD run alone after i started the previous one in a party?
@snow dock correct. You need to set it as a solo fixed party if you want to solo.
if i reach 51 solo, will i be able to play in a group after that point?
hello folks and i need help plus to advise my friend
we are trying to get a digital version of the game on our new PCs but we are getting shipping address but we dont want it to be shipped
No.
my friend is getting the shipping address request but we want the digital and btw we are from usa
Did you make sure to buy “pc download”?
...not sure what that link has to do with the store. It’s just the client download.
ok thx
How is there no wristwatch glam
There was the Yo-Kai watch, but that was from a collab event that may be returning at some point
That unfortunately..... Looks a bit too silly lol
Im aboutta pop into square enix hq and tell em i gotta do everything my damn self around here
Guys, to get a job do I just level to 30 or is there more to it?
How long is a password timeout?
is there anyway to regain gp faster aside from cordials?
ughhh im getting i2501 error >.< guess gotta wait till tomorrow :3
btw wynne i got it and thx i did some figuring and my end did not request the shipping address and i posted that to my friend so he can get it dont
Just realised I'm gonna really struggle with roulette skipping all content 😂
Wrong chat my bad
one more question where is the download since i got the lincense in and btw i thought it would do this
idnk if i rebought it again but it show buy on the windows only the circle is left on it
how do i get allegories while i'm queued for a duty?
anything besides hunts?
Uhhh Treasure maps but i thinkkkkk(?) thats only if you get into the canels
can't do that while queued
Yeaaah
so basically just hunts and those are only good with parties anyway
so basically nothing
Not hard to cap them tbh
Bare minimum is 5 days of expert
Or a few hours on a hunt train
@dusk zenith there are traits at 70 and 80 that increase the passive regen
will i need to do anything more than dungeons to finish the MSQs? for heavensward/stromblood/shadowbringers
as in non-story missions
You need to do role quests for the final stretch of Shadowbringers
Aka your job quests
Also need to have done up to Titan Hard mode at some point
If you haven't past that bit
are there any damage meters allowed on FFXIV? if so where can one download such plugin/addon
The main parser used is ACT. They’re fine as long as you don’t mention them in-game or use them to harass people.
So I unlocked and finished all 3 SB alliance raids, what do I need to do next for the ShB relic quest line?
Thats all you need as far as we know
Aside from actually finishing base Shadowbringers
I did that
Then you're good
thank you @obsidian patio
So shoot, I bought the game on Steam, do I need to reinstall the entire game since I had used a non-Steam Trial?
Yes
my friend is having trouble registering in final fantasy 14 on steam is this something i can ask for help here?

is the Download really really this slow even with good internet?
What issues are they having?
they are trying to register but it keeps saying that their password is invalid, they've resetted twice but are still having the same issues confirmation code isnt working
sorry let me rephrase that, they made an account and is trying to log in to install the game but its not letting them in now
@rocky grotto some parts of it are a bit bottlenecked, unfortunately. :/
@vital torrent depending on how brand new the account is they may need to wait a bit. I can’t remember for sure if SE sends you a confirmation email since it’s been forever for me.
okay thank you we'll try again tomorrow
Does anybody know how to fix headphones that only work on one side
.< cant wait
well VPN helped a bit gotta wait 8hrs for the download
@rocky grotto first time playing?
yeah hehehe
What other mmos have you played
I can tell you I’ve been playing this for the last 3 days and I am loving it
all other MMO last i played was BDO
yeah feel im gonna love this game thats why i bought complete edition
Nice nice
The only thing I liked about BDO was the graphics and combat
Wished they had dungeons and raids like this game
yeah i just wish other games have that kind of graphics too but not too heavy on the PC
I was debating getting a pc or ps4 for this game
Made a pc so I can play other stuff like hearthstone and Nier
Amazons new mmo looks nice
theres little sound bars in my game that react to my game sounds
how do i turn those off
Hmmm
Have you gone to audio settings
wait im kinda dumb
its what i turned on in accessibility settings because i have bad hearing. and totally forgot why i turned them on
Rip

@rocky grotto make sure you do the free trial first
That way you can level all the way up to 35 without paying subscriptions
Hmmm
What lvl are you
Does anyone know any streamers from EU?
Or like, people in EU that are friendly?
I went to the Balance just now, who linked me a streamer who was hosting Arthars, and they kinda lashed out on me for it
Streamers from the eu
Let’s see
Do you want a big channel or a small one?
Arthars is verified and currently streaming rn
Oh shit sorry
Yep
They told me I gotta run potd back to back when I reach 50
Dps sucks
I’m gonna be an astrologian
I am groaning at my own laziness
I finished the 60-70 grind for Tanks and Healers, so all is left is DPS and is just eugh
How many dps jobs are you doing anyway?
All of them
Rip
You crazy dude
I couldn’t do it
Imma just stick with 2 classes
whats ur 50-60 strategy? i ran command missions 20-45ish. getting slow after that
just potd?
@spiral ridge daily roulette and POTD
You can do hunting logs too but I don’t see the appeal
gotcha
i think the only reason im having
20+ minute queues
is because Maintenance in a while
command missions were so good till lvl 40
Command missions in barracks?
If maintinecnce is going on rn it should’ve kicked you out I think
Hour and a half
But no dps queues are ridiculous
Are the resistance weapons going to glow at final form this patch?
we have no idea
but going by anemos weapons in eureka. there is a high chance it will
thats the first stage of the lvl 70 relic btw

trade it to the nuts vendor in the Crystarium or eulmore
sack of nuts?
Ok
Eat them
Yes
yea, they are hunt currencies similar to centurio or allied seals
Ok
These nuts better be worth it
Or im going nut
But then again i maybe nut to begin with
🤔
NUT
when farming level 65-70 fish, is there a way to get higher quantities of what I'm looking for?
Just to get done with it as soon as I can
wynee - any reason why the game is downloading 1.5
that is horrobly slow and my spead is 12
!action double hook
!action bountiful catch
@flint pollen 🤷♂️ Sometimes the launcher is just really slow at downloading some files.
But what if you double hook the wrong fish?
is there a way to legit copy from the older computer and transfer ?
A lot of people experience the patcher being excrutiatingly slow, and there's no real answer, sometimes it speeds up, other times it doesn't
Later skills help with catching the same fish, but for now it's just luck or paying attention to the time that the desired fish gets hooked
i am wondering it is trying to supply the demands that almost a lot of ppl are getting the game cause ppl are stuck at home
Nah, it's just slow af sometimes
im going to sheck with support to see if i can copy from the old computer and how to do that
is there anyway to bypass the rng clicking for your first personal house?
and camping the placard
nope
oh god...
you can get lucky and find a plot that's both empty and available
it's still RNG, but a less frustrating sort in my experience
generally the emptiest district is The Goblet.
is that the uldah one?
yup
shirogane is pretty popular since its the latest housing district and lots of people want beach houses
yep
Yes
can someone direct me to a place that can teach me how to play monk
Like endgame monk, or just the basics?
both but basics are more important. im returning from an extremely long break and only play war and nin. I boosted a monk and im still in stormblood
so I can steamroll everything until I hit shadowbringers but need to learn what the heck im doing
You can ask around in #archived-melee-lounge
oo didnt know there was a melee lounge
You'll need the melee role in #612757637813239808
ahh! ty
