Unlocks via the quest The house that death built in gridina

ocean pivot
#

I think around lvl 30? You unlock it with a quest in Quarrymill. If unlocked, you can do it from lvl 1 onwards.

faint flare
#

At lv17

leaden ginkgo
#

ahh alright

#

MSQ level or char lvl?

faint flare
#

I believe it requires some MSQ prog

#

At least until the point you visit the other cities

leaden ginkgo
#

ah gotcha

#

ty ty

raven sage
#

You have to finish into a copper hell

faint flare
#

Not really

#

Dialogue options just give different reactions then goes back into the same conclusion

leaden ginkgo
#

sounds familiar, think i finished that one, ty @raven sage

faint flare
#

It was the copperbell dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

ah yes

#

the copperbel mines

solemn delta
#

I'm guessing the Palace queues for 51-60 are a lot better than the lower ones?

ocean pivot
#

Yes

solemn delta
#

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

junior yacht
#

it is not the best option for tome farming, no

ocean pivot
#

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.

little swift
#

aetherochemical research facility for poetics spam iirc

#

and sohm-al hard for gc seals

#

about every 15 minutes?

mortal nebula
#

When i get to heavensword, can I get all the flying aetherites without doing msq?

open coral
#

No

#

At least one of the aether currents for every zone is locked behind the final MSQ for that area.

whole wasp
#

Nope. The last aethercurrent for every zone is locked behind the last msq for that zone

open coral
#

And many of the bluequest currents are also locked behind progression.

mortal nebula
#

That makes no sense. :(

whole wasp
#

basically, you are forced to walk through the zone at least once before you get to fly through it

gloomy ice
#

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.

mortal nebula
#

Yeah that sucks lol.

snow dock
#

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?

sage plaza
#

have primary be higher than secondary

#

for bonus exp

mortal nebula
#

Is there a reason i cant find POTD?

gloomy ice
#

@snow dock You don't need a job at 80 to get the armory bonus. Your secondary job just has to be lower leveled.

whole wasp
#

Have you done the bluequest for it yet?

gloomy ice
#

@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.

whole wasp
#

"The house that death built" starts in the carline canopy in gridania

mortal nebula
#

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

gloomy ice
#

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.

vocal spoke
#

Is there a chest piece that looks the same as the Swalloskin coat for DoH, but for any other job ?

mortal nebula
#

Ah, ill go check it out!

vocal spoke
gloomy ice
#

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.

whole wasp
#

That scarf is pretty unique.

vocal spoke
#

A shame

velvet reef
#

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

gloomy ice
#

Do you have the weathered short sword weapon in your armoury chest?

velvet reef
#

I do not

gloomy ice
#

Hmm

#

Which quest is listed at the gladiator's guild?

brave loom
#

any cool mounts for the lv50?

velvet reef
#

bluequest way of the gladiator

#

sidequest beet red beetles beat red

#

sidequest and the great gladiator

gloomy ice
#

Way of the Gladiator should be what provides you with the weapon

leaden ginkgo
#

Where Can I get lvl70 gear?

shrewd relic
#

How do i unsync Command Missions?

#

@leaden ginkgo abyr abania

proven mountain
#

@leaden ginkgo u can buy it from kugane in kogane dori market

twilit arch
#

you can't unsync command missions

gloomy ice
#

@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.

fallen pollen
#

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.

gloomy ice
#

@leaden ginkgo Once you finish the quest Stormblood at level 70, the poetics shop in Rhalgr's Reach opens up as well.

leaden ginkgo
#

@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"

gloomy ice
#

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

velvet reef
#

yeah idk

gloomy ice
#

The tiny pop up windows that appear above NPCs head, however, can't be interacted with like that.

velvet reef
#

it won't let me accept the quest

gloomy ice
#

@velvet reef Does it give you some kind of error message? Or is the marker red?

ocean pivot
velvet reef
#

marker is red

#

says required class GLA

raven sage
#

That means youpicked it up at some point

wintry chasm
#

Be a gladiator Yumi

raven sage
#

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

velvet reef
#

I have the sword cause I just bought it

wintry chasm
#

the first quest should have given you a sword

velvet reef
#

going back over there to see if it wokr s

#

works

fallen pollen
#

@ocean pivot hurricane know where the log is, problem is I am unable to get it even with increased speed.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah because now you've swapped to the right class Yumi

gloomy ice
#

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

velvet reef
#

works now

#

weird

raven sage
#

You probably picked it up ages ago and forgot

wintry chasm
#

It's not weird

velvet reef
#

probably lol

raven sage
#

It happens often

gloomy ice
#

Not that I'm aware of, no.

young fjord
#

I forgot, did I need to finish ARR relics to start HW relics?

twilit arch
#

no

velvet reef
#

what are relics?

gloomy ice
#

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.

twilit arch
#

the relic quests chains are separate from each other

gloomy ice
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

young fjord
#

@leaden ginkgo Right click them and "Trade"

fiery sandal
#

hello! i have a purchase question

#

do i only have to purchase the shadowbringer collectors edition?

gloomy ice
#

@leaden ginkgo Sigmascape would be the second tier. Delta is first and Alpha is last.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok. Just those 3?

fiery sandal
#

ive never play and im looking to get into ff14

young fjord
#

Yes, the Shb expansion comes with all the previous things

fiery sandal
#

okay thank you so much @young fjord

leaden ginkgo
#

wait do i just right click a character in the character select?

young fjord
#

So to get full experience you either need to buy FFXIV starter edition+Shadowbringer expansion

Or Collection complete edition

young fjord
#

@leaden ginkgo You mean trade between your own characthers?

leaden ginkgo
#

@fiery sandal you should buy the "Complete Edition"

gloomy ice
#

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
#

dang

#

thanks for the info

fiery sandal
#

@leaden ginkgo why so?

gloomy ice
#

Buying Starter Edition + Shadowbringers is the same as buying the Complete Edition. Shadowbringers on its own can't be played without the Starter Edition.

young fjord
#

You can also just trade a frind stuff and have them trade you back

gloomy ice
#

Also note that trading across data centers is not possible.

fiery sandal
#

also

#

ive never really played the ff series. will i be at any disadvantage as a new player?

wintry chasm
#

Nahhhh

young fjord
#

You will miss out on a few callbacks and such, but nothing that will hinder you from enjoying the story

wintry chasm
#

There are tons of references to old games but it doesn't really ruin the experience

gloomy ice
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

No mainline game directly connects to any other

gloomy ice
#

Barring, of course, direct sequels like X-2 and XIII-2

fiery sandal
#

awesome! just purchased the complete edition. ok ok last one

gloomy ice
#

Yeah

fiery sandal
#

is this a one time purchase

#

or sub like WoW

wintry chasm
#

Sub

fiery sandal
#

gotcha

young fjord
#

I would suggest you start with free trial

#

This will last you up untill lvl 35

fiery sandal
#

WoW got really stale after maxing my iLVL. so im trying some new stuff

young fjord
#

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

barren galleon
#

is lvl 52 dragoon move, heavensward only?

young fjord
#

Yes, you need expansion to get past lvl 50

regal pumice
#

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?

young fjord
#

@regal pumice Same world

gloomy ice
#

Yeah. The skills from 52-60 can only be unlocked with the HW job quests. Those don't open until you reach HW itself.

barren galleon
#

I am lvl 55, but I don;t think I am on Heavnsward story tet

#

*yet

#

Okay

leaden ginkgo
#

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

forest laurel
#

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

young fjord
#

Leaderbord rankings

forest laurel
#

what about them

gloomy ice
#

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.

forest laurel
#

oh.

young fjord
#

They sort fc leaderboards contribution via server, my guess is that currently system would go haywire should they allow cross world FC

forest laurel
#

that's a clearer explanation than just "leaderboard rankings"

leaden ginkgo
#

there's almost no point to separate servers nowadays...

young fjord
#

At most, it's size which in turn translates into economy

gloomy ice
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh dear

#

imagine mega limsa

#

we're gonna need a bigger pirate ship city-state

young fjord
#

@gloomy ice Where you heard that? I don't think it's true based on ping ec.t

twilit arch
#

Yoshi-P mentioned it some time ago

#

they would like to break down the barriers between data centers

gloomy ice
#

Yoshi's mentioned it briefly in interviews but also says not to expect anything concrete any time soon

twilit arch
#

but that said, its not something that is going to happen for quite some time

young fjord
#

But that is to break down the walls between them

#

Not actually move them

lilac flume
#

what suffix equipment is samurai?

wintry chasm
#

Striking

lilac flume
#

ty

wintry chasm
#

And for accessories slaying

sonic sapphire
#

what's the name of the main song for shadowbringers?

wintry chasm
#

From the trailer? Called Shadowbringers

sonic sapphire
#

hmm

#

the rock/metal one i mean

wintry chasm
#

Ye

sonic sapphire
#

wait wot

#

is spotify lying to me

wintry chasm
#

What is it saying?

sonic sapphire
twilit arch
#

that is not the main theme for shadowbringer

sonic sapphire
#

yeah I know

#

but

twilit arch
#

atleast whatever plays when i click on it

sonic sapphire
#

that's what spotify says lol

wintry chasm
#

I'd answer but god damn ads

paper helm
#

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.

faint flare
#

Yes you will

hot eagle
#

should get the 30d, only ages ago the trial was time limited so with an old account u can't do another trial

faint flare
#

Unless you make a new account

wintry chasm
#

I'd argue it's worth just making a new Mogstation account

#

Get the trial

#

Unlimited time is pretty good

paper helm
#

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.

shrewd relic
#

Why does some of my squadron members have augmented gear and the others dont?

wintry chasm
#

Maybe it's to do with their level?

shrewd relic
#

theyre all 55+

solemn delta
#

How do you choose which floor you do on Palace

#

It just keeps putting me up

wintry chasm
#

Once you do floor 50 you can just choose to start at 50

shrewd relic
#

maybe some of them havent done the lvl 50+ squadron missions?

solemn delta
#

Ah I'm on 40-50 now that be why

wintry chasm
#

Idk Satanic not like it matters anyway

oak ice
#

You will also have to remove the save file to choose to start from 1 or 50

gloomy ice
#

Squadron gear doesn’t seem to matter. It appears to be purely cosmetic from what I can tell.

solemn delta
#

It says I don't meet strength requirements to do 40-50

wintry chasm
#

Get more aetherpool value!

oak ice
#

Then start the other save file and hunt silver chests

wintry chasm
#

^

solemn delta
#

I started that save file solo

#

Can I remove that one?

oak ice
#

You can remove it

solemn delta
#

And leave my 40?

#

Nice

oak ice
#

Yes

#

Then when you gather enough aetherpool you can just continue on your 40

gloomy ice
#

Aetherpool levels carry cross save files so yeah clear the second file and start looking for silvers

solemn delta
#

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

solemn delta
#

Does higher than 51-60 have anything worth going for?

#

Or do you need good groups

native ingot
#

I noticed ppl have recurring names like surrender of souls etc what are they

#

@solemn delta it's only story up to floor 100

faint flare
#

Titles probably

#

If you see multiple of the same ones

shrewd relic
#

@native ingot its from the quest "“An Ending to Mark a New Beginning.”"

solemn delta
#

Lol 1-10 I got my arm from 8-11

native ingot
#

I see

stark flint
#

Is there a Recruiment channel for Primal data center?

twilit arch
native ingot
#

I don't have my msq on and I can't remember where it was

stark flint
#

I cannot find it

native ingot
#

How can I find it

twilit arch
#

you need the primal role

#

you've got aether

stark flint
#

Where can I change it

twilit arch
native ingot
#

?

#

How can I find it

shrewd relic
#

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

native ingot
#

What do you know...

#

Ty

solemn delta
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

How far in is the heavens ward expansion

solemn delta
#

I got there in about a day, but I skipped post stuff

shrewd relic
#

@ripebaer

#

oof

#

you can find gear doing dungeons if you dont want to craft

#

i usually skip 60 tbh

solemn delta
#

Problem is I can't do 60 dungeons with 50 gear lol?

#

My FC might craft for nothing I dunno

hot eagle
#

ishgard/foundation sells nq ilvl 255 gear or use poetics for shire gear

humble maple
#

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?

barren arrow
#

Patch comes out tomorrow, right?

faint flare
#

Yes

barren arrow
#

Finally a good reason to return

gloomy ice
#

@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.

dry quiver
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone know what these pants are for SAM? They’re amazing

#

It linked to Eorzean website but says link is no longer available

open coral
#

@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.

polar cairn
#

What is the cool down on a healers raise ability

open coral
#

0s

#

Raise is a cast-cooldown ability

polar cairn
#

What

open coral
#

Basically, as soon as you finish casting it, you can cast it again

#

There is no cooldown

polar cairn
#

Oh ok

open coral
#

It is limited entirely by your own MP

obsidian patio
#

Raise spells have a 7 second cast time and cost around 1/4th of your total mana

open coral
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

@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

Hi, i'm a new player and i just bought 1 month and just after that i saw that skin ronkarage If i buy again 1 month i'll have it ? blobscree Or i need to buy 90 days for it?

Total days of subscription

snow dock
#

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

Meta Jobs FAQ
Info

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

Click here for the best jobs in the game though

obsidian patio
#

Ninja has a bit of a button-mashy burst rotation but outside of that it’s pretty easy going

stiff kernel
#

So if i buy 1 month again that will count 60 days and that's good? ;o @obsidian patio

obsidian patio
#

Yep

silver dawn
#

Just to clarify, there's no way to set job-specific keybinds that change when I change jobs?

obsidian patio
#

Nope.

#

I see thanks ! blobscree

silver dawn
#

well, this will be a challenge

snow dock
#

wew, how can there be no changing skill bars in a game where you can learn every job, thats weird

obsidian patio
#

Hotbars can be job specific

snow dock
#

oh, keybinds, i see

leaden ginkgo
#

i just got the game and haven't made a character yet is there a world that is more social than others?

little swift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

okay

little swift
#

just within your area is fine

#

social is partially dependent on your anyways ^.^

leaden ginkgo
#

which datacenter for NA?

little swift
#

Crystal Aether or Primal

obsidian patio
#

Aether/Primal/Crystal

little swift
#

all of them are located in the same physical space

#

so your ping is the same across them

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

lilac flume
#

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?

faint flare
#

Expansion beast tribes do

#

Arr doesnt

lilac flume
#

so ARR beast tribes are lvl 1-50 and xpac beast tribes are their respective xpac's 10 levels?

twilit arch
#

arr beast tribes are 41-50

#

the only one that starts at lvl 1 is ixali

lilac flume
#

eh crap

#

cuz you cant get into deep dungeons until 15 right?

#

or was it 20?

twilit arch
#

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"

lilac flume
#

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

faint flare
#

Only for the unlock

#

Your level outside doesn't matter

lilac flume
#

oh wait that

young fjord
#

You get separate level in POTD

faint flare
#

You get your skills ibside

lilac flume
#

yeah it makes you 50

young fjord
#

You level up inside and get skills

lilac flume
#

i forgot about that

faint flare
#

60

#

But hunting logs are more efficient than potd until like 15 or so

lilac flume
#

noted

#

i assume dom/w beast tribe quests have the dropoff points as well for xp

faint flare
#

Only after their respective expansion bracket

twilit arch
#

actually

lilac flume
#

yeah so like dont do arr after 50 or hw after 60

twilit arch
#

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

lilac flume
#

also noted

In your opinion, what's more fun /feels better, Ninja or Samurai?

faint flare
#

Personally Ninja

gloomy ice
#

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.

onyx niche
#

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

forest laurel
#

HS?

#

you mean heavensward/HW?

onyx niche
#

oops yep, HW** sowwy

forest laurel
#

ngl this is the first time I'm hearing someone say HW sucks but you're entitled to your opinion

gloomy ice
#

Leveling crafters and gatherers has become much faster since the 5.1 changes. It might be worth it to stick with your current character.

twilit arch
#

honestly, no point in starting over just for road to 70 buff

forest laurel
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

especially if you're not a fan of replaying thru the first two parts

forest laurel
#

stick with your current character then

onyx niche
#

well not entirely, the main portion of it is great, the post HW quests before SB, are just horrible x')

twilit arch
#

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

gloomy ice
#

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.

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ
Info

'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.

whenever the time stop thing comes I usually die

Look.up guides to the timestops

#

Oh you mean the fight itself. 🤦‍♂️

faint flare
#

You die cause you stood on the wrong spot

signal garnet
#

where can I find guides?

faint flare
#

Google

#

There's plethora of guides

obsidian patio
#

The old YouTube video guides should still be accurate for time stop

faint flare
#

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

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.

@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?

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!

solemn delta
#

So for Palace I just delete my 61-70 then start again 51-60?

faint flare
#

Yes

main halo
#

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?

solemn delta
#

Lol the complete edition mate

#

Its like 20 Bucks

obsidian patio
#

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

main halo
#

The "complete Edition" on Steam is up for $36.06. Is that incorrect?

solemn delta
#

22.49 on psn but stream I think the same

obsidian patio
#

Yeah they’re having a sale currently

#

That’s only shadowbringers, it doesn’t include the base game

main halo
#

This is so confusing...

solemn delta
#

Complete edition cost me 22.49 playstation

#

My friend said steam is about the same

obsidian patio
#

Complete edition is currently 35.99 on PSN

woeful drum
#

Question - it says free trial can't team up. If I bought the game, could I invite my free trial persons?

solemn delta
#

It said whole of April weird

obsidian patio
#

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

main halo
#

But I would need to reinstall the steam version of the game?

solemn delta
#

Yep just checked 22.49 April sale

obsidian patio
#

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

main halo
#

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?

Because you can directly queue for 51-60

From duty finder?

As a floor set

Up to 60 for POTD

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?

wintry chasm
#

Server doesn't matter for that

dusky nest
#

i would suggest a preferred server on the same datacenter, so you can still group up with your friends

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Doing content is done across the entire data center so anything like "raid server" is outdated

#

just FYI

dusky nest
#

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

signal rover
#

Is that 'star' in-game or on server page?

wintry chasm
#

During character creation

faint flare
#

Server sterotypes are dead with cross data centre party finder and world visiy

forest laurel
#

on the server selection, after you're done creating your character

dusky nest
#

but its lamia right now

silk summit
#

By big boost, it's double exp

forest laurel
#

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

wintry chasm
#

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

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)

snow dock
#

ive read something about jumping to floor 51 or something, what is that about?

solemn delta
#

You do that on your main

#

But delete a slot

#

Then just choose 51

faint flare
#

Once you clear floor 50 you can start at 51

solemn delta
#

300% exp on lower classes

#

Wow

#

Leveling never been easier

snow dock
#

so the jumping to 51 thing doesnt apply to leveling alt jobs?

shrewd relic
#

@prime harbor is the one on the left the upgraded edition?

solemn delta
#

Yes it does

obsidian patio
#

Based on the price I think the one on the left has the collectors editions?

solemn delta
#

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

snow dock
#

So lets say my lvl 1 job jumps in at 51, is the exp i'm receiving afterwards scaled back to my lvl 1?

shrewd relic
#

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

solemn delta
#

Yes

snow dock
#

what's the advatange of doing it then?

shrewd relic

theyre both complete editions, one just has extra stuff

@shrewd relic Thanks

snow dock
#

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

obsidian patio
#

The experience you get for your outside level scales to you.

solemn delta
#

Exp scales

signal scarab
obsidian patio
#

For the early levels it’s like 1-2 runs per level

signal scarab
#

🦐

solemn delta
#

Level 1 I get 500k on PLD

obsidian patio
#

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.

snow dock
#

i assume lvl 51 is significantly harder than lvl 1 then?

solemn delta
#

No it's easy

obsidian patio
#

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

snow dock
#

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?

solemn delta
#

Go on solo first

#

Set bars

#

I just learnt that

#

Right now

snow dock
#

Is the difficulty adjusted if i go in solo?

So you don't afk on people

silk summit
#

Do you get your job abilities in potd if you don't have the crystal?

faint flare
#

No

silk summit
#

Yeah that's what I thought

snow dock
#

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

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

signal garnet
#

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

snow dock
#

Does it matter what training regiment i chose for my adventureres quadron?

#

If yes, what's the general idea?

solemn delta
#

It's way more fun than bdo

obsidian patio
#

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

solemn delta
#

Bdo was a horrific grind fest with no end game and terrible p2w

#

With great combat sadly all it had going

snow dock
#

yeah i understand that, but is e.g. physical more important than mental?

#

how do i decide that

obsidian patio
#

Depends on what classes your recruits are.

#

You can either have your trainings cover their weak spot, or have it be fairly balanced

snow dock
#

looks like an archer, warrior pugilist and healer

obsidian patio
#

It also depends on the stats that the mission wants

rotund dome
#

chat is it faster to level fsh thru ocean fishing or leves?

dawn mountain
#

can I start healing at 30 as a arcanist?

dim ridge
#

you have to go unlock scholar but yes otherwise

obsidian patio
#

Ocean fishing is super fast when it’s up.

rocky grotto
#

@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?

dim ridge
#

you can't heal AS an arcanist

shrewd relic
#

@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

signal garnet
#

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

shrewd relic
#

and tbh I skipped all the cutscenes but i'm having a great time regardless

signal garnet
#

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

snow dock
#

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?

rocky grotto
#

Complete edition it is ❤️

signal garnet
#

and theres one big slog before

#

@snow dock you make it

shrewd relic
#

have fun!!

rocky grotto
#

thank you very much for the help ❤️

snow dock
#

@signal garnet sorry, what do you mean?

obsidian patio
#

!action Midare setsugekka

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Midare Setsugekka** : lvl 50 SAM (2.5 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 800. Additional Effect: Grants a stack of Meditation, up to a maximum of 3
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

obsidian patio
#

You mean this skill?

snow dock
#

no

twilit arch
#

pretty sure they mean the str pot

signal garnet
#

^

twilit arch
#

which isn't a skill, its an item

signal garnet
#

you can craft or by potions

#

and they're usually popped when you're about to do fat damage in a rotation

slate arrow
#

@snow dock potion of strength: you buy it off the marketboard

twilit arch
#

the potion in rotations are pretty much there for the min-maxers

#

or people doing savage

faint flare
#

You can skip the potion in non savage stuff

signal garnet
#

im never going to bother

#

brain small and muscle memory

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:

  1. Is there a recommended guide on what to do each level milestone on each job?

  2. 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)

solemn delta
#

What's the difference between the 70 gear I and II? II is same price but looks like it has much better stats

vital aurora
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

Primal is pretty active in raiding too

bright badger
#

I hate to add to the pile but I got a question as well

obsidian patio
#

@solemn delta basically that, the ryu set is an older tier of gear

bright badger
#

I'm trying to find natural black hairstyles, wavy and curly, and not the god damn afro, anyone know if that kinda stuff exists?

solemn delta
#

Right got ya.

#

Just gotta figure out what accessories to go for

#

So many differ on opinion on tenacity

obsidian patio
#

@sly jasper I generally do the quests as they become available for the experience

silk summit
#

At 70 accesories are job locked anyway

sturdy mason
#

is there a beast tribe leveling guide somewhere?

solemn delta
#

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

obsidian patio
#

@bright badger none that I can immediately call off-hand. :/

bright badger
#

That sucks man

#

Just fro and dreads

#

The dreads look sick tho

obsidian patio
#

@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

sturdy mason
#

I don't even know where all the beast tribes are tbh

snow dock
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

Yeah that looks pretty concise

rocky grotto
#

after clicking review order nothing happends
is this the right channel to ask help on this?

snow dock
#

Am i buying tome gear of fending, slaying or aiming for a SAM?

obsidian patio
#

Slaying for accessories, striking for left-side

storm crow
#

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 😛

obsidian patio
#

@rocky grotto what about clicking “review” below review order? I’m not too familiar with the square enix store in how they do stuff

rocky grotto
#

still nothing happens :3

snow dock
#

Can i not continue a PotD run alone after i started the previous one in a party?

obsidian patio
#

@snow dock correct. You need to set it as a solo fixed party if you want to solo.

snow dock
#

if i reach 51 solo, will i be able to play in a group after that point?

flint pollen
#

hello folks and i need help plus to advise my friend

obsidian patio
#

flint pollen

obsidian patio
#

flint pollen
#

flint pollen
#

bright badger
#

obsidian patio
#

There was the Yo-Kai watch, but that was from a collab event that may be returning at some point

bright badger
#

dusk zenith

flint pollen

solemn delta
#

Just realised I'm gonna really struggle with roulette skipping all content 😂

flint pollen
#

#

idnk if i rebought it again but it show buy on the windows only the circle is left on it

barren holly
#

how do i get allegories while i'm queued for a duty?

faint flare
#

You get them like any other tome

#

Wait while qued

#

I think hunts give abit

barren holly
#

anything besides hunts?

faint flare
#

Uhhh Treasure maps but i thinkkkkk(?) thats only if you get into the canels

barren holly
#

can't do that while queued

faint flare
#

Yeaaah

barren holly
#

so basically just hunts and those are only good with parties anyway

#

so basically nothing

faint flare
#

Not hard to cap them tbh

#

Bare minimum is 5 days of expert

#

Or a few hours on a hunt train

obsidian patio
#

@dusk zenith there are traits at 70 and 80 that increase the passive regen

barren holly
#

okay but i didn't grind at all until now

#

lol

faint flare
#

Get on that Hunt train the

#

Though i doubt any would be up with 2hours before maint

barren holly
#

exactly

#

im f'd

leaden ginkgo
#

will i need to do anything more than dungeons to finish the MSQs? for heavensward/stromblood/shadowbringers

#

as in non-story missions

faint flare
#

You need to do role quests for the final stretch of Shadowbringers

#

Aka your job quests

leaden ginkgo
#

o

#

ty

faint flare
#

Also need to have done up to Titan Hard mode at some point

#

If you haven't past that bit

summer wedge
#

are there any damage meters allowed on FFXIV? if so where can one download such plugin/addon

obsidian patio
#

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.

sturdy mason
#

So I unlocked and finished all 3 SB alliance raids, what do I need to do next for the ShB relic quest line?

faint flare
#

Thats all you need as far as we know

#

Aside from actually finishing base Shadowbringers

sturdy mason
#

I did that

faint flare
#

Then you're good

summer wedge
#

thank you @obsidian patio

main halo
#

So shoot, I bought the game on Steam, do I need to reinstall the entire game since I had used a non-Steam Trial?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

obsidian patio

What issues are they having?

vital torrent
#

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

obsidian patio
#

@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.

vital torrent

okay thank you we'll try again tomorrow

I can tell you I’ve been playing this for the last 3 days and I am loving it

rocky grotto
#

all other MMO last i played was BDO

#

yeah feel im gonna love this game thats why i bought complete edition

midnight slate
#

Nice nice
The only thing I liked about BDO was the graphics and combat
Wished they had dungeons and raids like this game

rocky grotto
#

yeah i just wish other games have that kind of graphics too but not too heavy on the PC

midnight slate
#

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

fiery sandal
#

theres little sound bars in my game that react to my game sounds

@rocky grotto make sure you do the free trial first
That way you can level all the way up to 35 without paying subscriptions

#

is pvp for exp worth doing again if u already did ur daily for it?

#

or nah?

midnight slate
#

Hmmm
What lvl are you

scarlet coral
#

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

midnight slate
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

so

#

DPS leveling is just
Mostly HoH after 60, and the possible roulette, yes?

midnight slate
#

Yep
They told me I gotta run potd back to back when I reach 50
Dps sucks
I’m gonna be an astrologian

leaden ginkgo
#

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

midnight slate
#

How many dps jobs are you doing anyway?

leaden ginkgo
#

All of them

midnight slate
#

Rip
You crazy dude

midnight slate
#

I couldn’t do it
Imma just stick with 2 classes

spiral ridge
#

whats ur 50-60 strategy? i ran command missions 20-45ish. getting slow after that

#

just potd?

leaden ginkgo
#

...gosh i forgot what i even did

#

i think it was primarily roulettes

midnight slate
#

@spiral ridge daily roulette and POTD

#

You can do hunting logs too but I don’t see the appeal

spiral ridge
#

gotcha

leaden ginkgo
#

i think the only reason im having

#

20+ minute queues

#

is because Maintenance in a while

spiral ridge
#

command missions were so good till lvl 40

mossy current
#

Command missions in barracks?

midnight slate
#

If maintinecnce is going on rn it should’ve kicked you out I think

mossy current
#

Hour and a half

midnight slate
#

But no dps queues are ridiculous

mossy current
#

From now

#

DPS always has long queues

#

Waited 30 min for Shisui a few times

leaden ginkgo
#

Are the resistance weapons going to glow at final form this patch?

whole wasp
#

we have no idea

#

but going by anemos weapons in eureka. there is a high chance it will

@obsidian patio

slate arrow

trade it to the nuts vendor in the Crystarium or eulmore

whole wasp
#

sack of nuts?

chilly birch
#

Ok

midnight slate
#

Eat them

chilly birch
#

Yes

whole wasp
#

yea, they are hunt currencies similar to centurio or allied seals

chilly birch
#

Ok

#

These nuts better be worth it

Or im going nut

#

But then again i maybe nut to begin with

#

🤔

#

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

flint pollen
#

wynee - any reason why the game is downloading 1.5

#

that is horrobly slow and my spead is 12

obsidian patio
#

!action double hook

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Double Hook** : lvl 65 FSH (400 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Hook multiple fish in a single cast. Yield is determined by fish type and your gathering rating. Some fish cannot be double hooked.

obsidian patio
#

!action bountiful catch

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Bountiful Catch** : lvl 68 FSH (200 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Increases the number of items obtained on your next spearfishing attempt. Yield is determined by fish type and your gathering rating. Some fish cannot be double speared.

obsidian patio
#

@flint pollen 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes the launcher is just really slow at downloading some files.

sturdy mason
#

But what if you double hook the wrong fish?

flint pollen
#

is there a way to legit copy from the older computer and transfer ?

oak ice
#

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

obsidian patio
#

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

flint pollen
#

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

oak ice
#

Nah, it's just slow af sometimes

flint pollen
#

im going to sheck with support to see if i can copy from the old computer and how to do that

dusk zenith
#

is there anyway to bypass the rng clicking for your first personal house?

#

and camping the placard

obsidian patio
#

nope

dusk zenith
#

oh god...

junior yacht
#

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

obsidian patio
#

generally the emptiest district is The Goblet.

dusk zenith
#

is that the uldah one?

whole wasp
#

yup

dusk zenith
#

ah man

#

i really want a shirogane one, but that seems impossible for my first house

whole wasp
#

shirogane is pretty popular since its the latest housing district and lots of people want beach houses

dusk zenith
#

so if im looking for a house

#

do i just click a ward and see which plot is empty?

obsidian patio
#

yep

warped nest
#

Yes

errant rock
#

can someone direct me to a place that can teach me how to play monk

proud willow
#

Like endgame monk, or just the basics?

errant rock
#

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

fresh lodge

#

oo didnt know there was a melee lounge
