I see know, thank you. For some reason I couldn't find a list but I got it all squared away now, thank you
bruh all i did was find which you were on and click 'next' counting under my breath til i hit heavensward
@agile laurel
Portals won't spawn when there is a player in the party that is not the level (or higher) of the treasure map dungeon. So a level 80 8-man map never spawns a portal if there is a player that is not 80 yet.
oh, it IS level 80 content then?
So what exactly is the benefit of purchasing story progression items from the mog station?
all the repository pages were useless on that matter
@slender sphinx , https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
it skips MSQ
That is the full list
like, buying the one that skips you to heavensward will dump you exactly at the first MSQ quest in heavensward
Thank you
It's mostly geared towards people who want to raid with their friends who are in current content without having to do the entire MSQ, which can take a considerable amount of time
Or, it's someone's alt character on another server and they don't want to have to do the entire MSQ all over again
(i've been here a month and i just reached shadowbringers, can attest)
My main goal right now is to get the toad suit. Would it be advantageous to purchase the story progression
@agile laurel , yes. Same for Aquapolis (Dragonskin), that requires L60+ and Uznair (Gazelleskin/Thief) requires L70+. If a player is below that 0% chance of a portal.
If this is your first play through I'd highly not recommend it
oof central. OK
My only reasoning was some materials from there are selling for dumb prices so I reasoned I may as well get my own
Since frog suit FATES are wayyyy towards the end of the SHB MSQ meaning you'll have to do content to get there, meaning you'll be trying to understand the basic mechanics of whatever class you end up with and the system in its entirety.
@agile laurel that's some fast work. it took me about three months of committed MSQ grinding to get through end of MSQ...then again, I only get a couple hours a day and I'm a slowpoke.
@slender sphinx , Toad Suit is from a world boss fate in the last ShB area, that requires at least level 79 80. (12 Tokens total. Requires 2 fate clears on gold)
You need flying too.
Because it requires access to the Eulmore shops, you need to complete the 5.0 MSQ.
so basically, you couldn't have picked something that requires later game progression if you tried
I'm a lvl 55 WM, I understand that it's a rare fate and the very last part of the last expansion. that's the only goal I have right now
Not only that but the fate actually has to spawn
A lot of people already have the frog suits so there's less incentive to spawn it now
Are mods generally considered OK and if so are there any that make the map less bad?
World Boss fates are indeed rare to spawn, they also won't show up on the big map and often requires flying in HW+ area's. For the Frog Suit completion of the 5.0 MSQ is required.
You also need to complete the fate twice to get both parts. @slender sphinx
As long as they dont give you an advantage or bring attention to yourself that you're using them
@lyric bane , only graphic mods are officially allowed in FF14 as long it doesn't give an advantage over others.
Yes, I understand. Thank you
I don't know how it would work necessarily but the maps in this game are unwieldy to say the last.
Any sort of improvement would be welcome.
Dont even think there is any
If it's something like removing foggy weather you're in the not so great area of mods at that point
@lyric bane What GPU did you got?
Vega 56. It's overclocked to operate roughly as fast as a GTX 1070 Ti/1080 depending on the game.
Ah, okay. If you had a Geforce GPU, you could have used Freestyle, that works very well with FF14.
You can try Stormshade.
I've got Stormshade. I was mostly interested in a map mod.
is this normal
Yup
asking for fashion report, do you only need to wear the items or will it work if the items were glamoured
oof
@lyric bane , a map mod for a better looking map?
do i need to finish the pvp tab or nah?
Thank you Vinyl !
@rich bay One that makes the map not suck. idk
@hard elk Ignore it. If you really want to try it out, do Frontline roulette.
No map modes exist
okay awesome
It is the bottom option in the Duty roultte tab.
oh btw on the pinned post on #ffxiv-screenshots does it still work?
i wanna try the reshade mode
If I start leveling a secondary class/job, does my main level also increase too?
No
no
Oh
(except summoner and scholar who share xp)
wonder if anyone on here might have some tips for a new player on retainer jobs. Since I don't really know what they are capable of yet, I'm not sure what jobs might be best. Currently I'm a PLD, and in the future I'll be interested in crafting. Have been leveling BTN and MNR.
@hard elk , depends on that GPU you use. If you use an Nvidia one, I recommend Nvidia Freestyle. For AMD ones use Stormshade.
Thank you
Honestly battle retainers are pretty much the same
It's just the ilvl of the gear as a whole that matters
All battle retainrrs get the same stuff
@outer warren , only for glamour purposes. Nothing changes when they get a job.
Gathering retainers bring back respective mats
Typically people say go 1 combat and 1 gathering
@hard elk , if you use Geforce Experience. You already have it.
so between a battle retainer and botany or miner if I'm only going to have two which might you suggest
ooo okay i dint know that
I like botany more tbh
Depends on what you mainly do
So, is our secondary class/job capped at how high the first one is?
I tend to find battle retainers a lot more valuable
Every job (except blue) goes to 80
Because mob drop farming is pretty yikes
I think it's that I don't know which mats are most useful for high end crafting
I use the Freestyle settings in this reddit post :
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/cwsnkb/nvidia_freestyle_goes_too_well_with_ffxiv/ @hard elk
You ideally have all gathering levelled
@narrow glacier ah thanks because I was thinking it's what I would be getting most of as I played
But how can I have a secondary job be level while my main level is still only say 50...?
If you're leveling crafters it's a good idea to level gatherers first to be more self sufficient
Your second job level is independent
Which, you have to level gatherers to level gatherer retainers anyways
Every job is seperate
okay thank you @rich bay
yeah I'm levelling miner and botany first
@wheat lark
If a battle job/class is below your highest leveled class/job:
1-70 +100% EXP
71-79 +50% EXP
There is no "main" or character level
Its just whatever level the job currently is
Is your level
Gatherer retainers can also only gather what you have gathered so there's no benefit there either
so I guess it's between having a battle retainer + miner or Battle + botany
The only level that really matters is MSQ level.
As long as one or more jobs have a level matching or exceeding the MSQ level, you will have no issues.
ShB mobs drops are slightly better because you can use FATE gemstones to get them
Okay, thank you everyone.
You level your class not your job, by the way, but the effect is the same. That is why SCH/SMN share levels, you level ARC ACN and not SCH/SMN.
(Ofc, expansion jobs level their jobs, because they don't have a class)
is crafting a good way to make money and if so what sorts of items sell the best?
Yes
That said, you have to understand the market in general to make money off anything
And raid consumables like food and pots generally sell consistently well
Ofc market depending
its ACN for arcanist, not ARC that's archer
The job class thing is kind of confusing especially when you add in expansion classes.

To be clear:
Normal ShB fates drop to 12 Bi-color gems
Achievement fates up to 24 Gems.
World Boss fates drop up to 72 gems.
Like if you put things up that are 200k but they only sell once very 6 months you're probably not going to be making good gil any time soon
ACN, yeah. I keep switching them. Thanks @twilit arch .
hm bummer because ALC and CUL where the ones I wasn't as interested in
Food and potions always sell.
Those are pretty competitive markets to be in honestly
does armor and gear sell at all
Somewhat
It kind of depends
because I was thinking those would make me self sufficient
Definitely on new patches
Like Neo-Ishgard (the current tier best crafted) will sell really well when the patch comes out
if consumables are the best does that make a botany and fisher retainer pair more appealing?
The i480 armor still sell pretty well and the Rakshasa gear also sells well on preferred servers.
But once more and more people get through savage and get better gear the demand starts to slowly decrease
Fisher, no
@outer warren the best food also uses Miner materials. Like rock salts and water.
fisher retainer doesn't bring back many of the used fish, but fish in general aren't that useful or needed
Fisher retainers are nice if you tend to craft certain CUL recipes that require it
Fisher retainers can also bring back special minions.
honestly, if you need a particular fish you're probably better off buying it from the marketboard than leveling a retainer up for it specifically
Well, that depends on how much you can fork out
botanist/miner retainers are far more useful than fisher retainer
cool so I won't do fish
Fisher can also bring back leve fish, which can be profitable depending on your market
I can't seem to see online what's the requirements to get this mount
Tyrannosaur Horn
Anyone has links?
its from anemos lockboxes
Eureka
can u like craft this clothes or its mogstation exclusive
where you kill a bunch of mobs to level up, or to spawn a specific notorious monster
Mogstation
That's mog station
ok awesome
Songbird set iirc
that particular set is mogstation now, since its a previous year's holiday reward
yeh i bought it awhile ago and i love it! ❤️
just started fishing, but I wonder what to do with all those different fishes ? Did one sea fishing, got spectral megalodon, its pretty rare I guess but what is for ? Its extremly cheap on MB
It may pop a spectral current in ocean fishing once you get it
Ocean fishing fish are entirely useless
Ocean Fishing stuff doesn't have any real use outside of the content itself and showing off catches
Ocean fishing fish don't do much outside
so its only fun doing the event nothing else ?
You can also desynth it to get back bait sometimes
is chocobo the only mount that fights with you?
@hard elk yes
Yes
okay thanks!
so ocean fishing is just for the fun of event, some xp and mount ? Nothing else
Pretty much
and for general fishing ? What's the purpose ? Only cooking ?
Aether sand from Aetherical reduction
It's mostly cooking. There's some niche uses outside of it (mostly for GSM and ALC)
correct me but sounds pretty useless lol ?
oh really ?
just about to finish stormblood, anything i should do before going into shadowbringers?
already did
Then you're good
kk
so there's nothing intersting to do with fishing at high lvl ?
Maybe do the lv70 24man so you're ready to do Shadowbringers relics
Farm aether sand
There's king fishing, but that's more a sense of achievement kind of thing
Which is used for high tier crafting
so only that lol ? thought would be more intersting than just farming this
is it true that after you reach lvl 50 thats where the fun and awesome part of the game?
i have no idea what to sell on the market board
is it true that after you reach lvl 50 thats where the fun and awesome part of the game?
@hard elk it was true when there were no expansions
i have been fluctuating between 100 thousand gil for 3 day’s
now you must be lvl 80 to access to real endgame
ohh damn
The thing is, because many people think fishing is useless to them you can also use it to your advantage and milk people's laziness by selling popular CUL recipe fish/aethersand reduction/leve fish
but i’m not gonna level fisher lol
once you're lvl max you have to gear up with powerful gear that you get in low quantity, weekly, etc. then you can farm extreme bosses to get weapons and mounts for example, or savage 8man raids for the challenge and get the best gear
i’m almost to 80 on my miner and that will be my first 80 i just don’t know how to make money
i guess selling high level ores ya their HQ variation
thats awesome
Well, the thing is once you get into end game crafting there's less of a reliance on HQ mats
so in many cases they can sell close to the NQ prices
ok and how exactly do i know the prices ? it seems like people will sell 99 single iron ore for a hundred thousand gil lol
Look on the market board and check the history
The thing is, because many people think fishing is useless to them you can also use it to your advantage and milk people's laziness by selling popular CUL recipe fish/aethersand reduction/leve fish
@narrow glacier its often high lvl fish for CUL or its every lvl fishes ? I mean theres only few type of fish that everybody wants or I can sell pretty much everything
btw, my game isnt english, what is that aethersand lol ?
Ageflow Aethersand (the fish is called Predator)
Not sure what it's called in other languages
just found it !
Some of the Neo-Ishgard stuff uses it
oh really ?
By gathering the fish
Farming that in bulk is very very inefficient though scrip wise
And reducing it
Basically
Question for you pros. Someone who's new to tanking and wants to give it a go - which Job would you recommend?
It's called Aetherial Reduction
Paladin would be my recommendation.
They're all pretty straight forward
i'll just google aetherial reduction lol, I think I understood what it is but not sure
Gunbreaker doesn't appeal much to me
Oh I dont even know whats in my language then, it unlocks at lvl 56 gatherer, I dont have any atm
Does any do a little more DPS? I wanna solo on it too
Bit unfair that Pala has a spamable heal? 😂
It is an expensive one at 2000mp
Bit unfair that Pala has a spamable heal? 😂
@pastel pond not really spamable, you lose mana fast
Ah okay
Clememcy spam also hurts your DPS
Got ya
Since you miss out on a chunk of your magic rotation
And PLD doesn't benefit from Mind, which affects mana regen speed
Any tanks excel at DPS more than others?
All the tanks are very close to each other in DPS, iirc
DK looks too complicated aha
Dark isn't all that bad, it's just the available mitigations until 70 are kind of... meh
Once you get the blackest night (TBN) at 70 though it's amazing
Honestly I would say that DRK is the second easiest to pick up and become competent with after PLD.
yeah prepare to take an uncomfortable amount of damage as DRK. it's fun and exciting
Maybe not for a complete noob then
Pain is for the week, embrace the husbando darkness within you
I think PLD is pretty straight forward and has some decent amount of mitigation at lower level
You also have a shield as your off hand
Maybe Paladin or warrior then
Probably PLD
Paladin is all about mitigation. Warrior is all about those sweet self healing abilities.
Warrior has a skill that can crit anything you do for a bit at the start, Paladin can protect itself very well with it's blocking abilities
Well, you don't get Nascent until very very late
Personally, the thing I dislike the most about WAR is that their multi-target ability at low levels is a straight line in front rather than a 360 degree circle.
Ohhh warrior sounds good with crits and self heal
WAR is very strong.
Every tank has a self heal
Oh does warrior not get a 360 aoe
There's mythril tempest later on
Warrior sounds interesting!
That's one thing with tank classes. You need to do your class quests ASAP
Yeah, it comes in a lot later than the ones for PLD and DRK.
Warrior is the "too angry to die"
Warrior is the "too angry to die"
@faint flare I like that
There's various class quest locked tank skills that will punish you a lot more if you forget class quests
Like your ranged attack (level 15 class quest)
You guys are really helpful, thanks!
ie. if you finish a dungeon and can do your class quest, do that first before anything else
is the 'Craftsman's Singlet' craftable?
no, its purchase with scrips from ishgard restoration or you can buy it off the marketboard
@leaden ginkgo - That's through the Firmament.
Lv20 once its unlocked
No, level 20 to start
Gatherers can take part at lv10
Is there a way to increase brightnesss ingame?
can I cast while moving?
Depends on the spell
Only towards the very end, known as slidecasting
If there's no cast bar, you can move
Is there a way to increase brightnesss ingame?
Hey I got a question what do I have to do to get access to these
@faint flare if there is a cast bar, i cant move? i hate that....
Wait for another day
You can move towards the very end
Depending on ping
Around roughly 0.5s remaining or so
There is a... I'll call it a "trick" called slide casting.
Its a technique known as slide casting
It involves waiting until the last .5(ish) seconds of the cast, so you can move without interrupting the cast.
The result is that your character will "slide" in movement due to the animation lock, thus the name - slide casting.
There's also some niche traits/skills that can make things instacast
I do it all the time as WHM. It is pretty easy to learn.
ie. Triple Cast on Black Mage
you can also do it during knockback attacks
@prime harbor, those duties rotate, so you need to wait after daily reset for another duty.
if you time it correctly against ramuh for example
There's also Surecast for attacks that support it
Yup, it even works in E5S.
If you time it right, you discharge your spell on the moment you are knocked back. (And don't take extra fall damage.)
Surecast just makes sure you're not knockbacked
It doesn't work for certain knockbacks, because those are thown knockbacks or slide knockbacks.
For a majority though
some situational things to keep in mind:
If an enemy dies before your cast goes off the spell will be canceled
Certain damage thresholds from mobs can cancel your cast (your tank dies and a pack of mobs starts wailing on you)
In that situation you'd better hope your healer is at least level 18 and can use Swiftcast
You can also strafe back and forth quickly to purposely cancel a cast if completing it will put you in a dangerous situation
how many DOH/DOL Tribes in SB? and who are they? I'm currently doing Namazu so I think i only need one more
Just the one right now
Namazu is both crafter and gatherer
The Qitari
Only namazu
Ohhh, how about in HW?
Oh, SB
Only moogle
Ixal
There are some gatherer quests in Ixali but I don't know if they go to your gatherer exp
they're kind of weird
Just starting to unlock them all, Oh, Ixali is one too? Yeeey
I know Ixali are DoH. Not sure about DoL.
They're not DoL
I want to say that they go to your DOH because only DoH can be accepted
They can still make you fish or gather something though
Ye, but those quests are level up to level like 12, and then you still have to craft an item for them
You can turn in crafts/gatherer mats to your grand company
If you turn in HQ versions you get bonus EXP
If they're starred you get even more exp
So you mean i can level up them without using them? I mean not rushing them but kinda leveling them while leveling my battle classes
Hey guys, if I want to get the gil from the gil bags, do I sell them to any shop? or is there a specific place I should exchange them at?
Any vendor
thanks!
Though later you do unlock a special piece of content that lets you vendor stuff and receive more money from the items up to a cap that resets weeklu
But thats deep into stormblood
I skipped all the story
These are the GC turn ins for crafters. You talk to your grand company's personnel officer (or use the timers window) to get the current list. You can only turn them in once a day.
So am I able to access it?
If you skipped to Shadowbringers yoy should
Oh great
Look up doman reconstruction
In teleport?
If you have access to the doman enclave port there
hello, just finished shadowbringers and im wondering if its worth to buy a few pieces of the neo ishgardian armor etc on the market
Yeah I will port there now but insufficient gil 😅
Depends on what content you plan to do
Let me sell 1 bag first
If you're planning to do savage, gearing up in Neo-Ishgard would be a good idea
Where could I find someone that can sell me some house in game 🙂 I want to start doing housing
Hi*
yeah i wanted to jump into the harder raids
For your weapon, getting the relic weapon would be a good idea
It's higher than Neo-Ishgard ilvl wise and has 5 guaranteed materia slots
You can also use allegory to get some of the crystarium gear
Although that's weekly capped so you can only get so much

@faint flare I just ported here, do u know which part of the map I should look for the vendor?
Holy shit, this place has a really gorgeous uh
It gets better
No idea what that gate looking thing is 😂
Its called the Doman reconstruction for a reason
Ok thanks , will do
how can I get more ways to store stuff
@leaden ginkgo
You need to complete the Orbonne Monastery too for the ShB relic. (Last SB 24-man raid.)
Buy more retainers
@void fox, grab an appartment, those are always avalible most of the time.
I don't see any blue quest in the map :/
where are some target dummies I can smack around?
That means that the gear is synced @white sinew
Those stats are synced down to the item level intended in the content
Btw anyone know how to remove/ minimize the two big icons of dark knight in the middle of the screen?
Go into your hud editor
In the UI settings
@narrow glacier @leaden ginkgo , Ixal only has DoH quests. But they use the gatherers too for their mats.
It isn't
And im having a blast, good thing the level stays the same
Rdm is the lowest personal dps in the casters
Oh I feel like I kill things faster with rdm than blm
Cause you're front loading damage
By doing 2 gcds back to back basically
But you're not really doing more
Also, a lot of jobs are just simply overtuned for level 50 content
Ohh I see, so only lvl 50 jobs?
Fpr example if I switch to astro, would I be lvl 1 or start from my current level?
Level 30
Sb and shb jobs have their kit straight out the gate more or less
!faq expansionjobs
!faq expacjobs

@faint flare so I can only make then smaller or basic display but not move them into another place?
You can drag them
Oh how?
Are the older weapon artifact quests (Zodiac) worth doing?
If you want the shiny glamour
Figured that would be case - thanks!
Guys I got a question regarding one friend : Her account got hacked but I guess there is a system in ff14 that they knew her account was acting weird so they suspended it , she finally rest the password and everything but whenever she try to enter the game they tell her your account is suspended and she did contect them but no reply . Is there a way to make it work or should she wait for reply ?
Any reason to do crafter quests beyond lv66?
is Machinist wildfire skill suppose to do low damage after stacking hits? It says that it adds 200 after every hit but it doesn’t seem to do much damage in the end.
they give 1 free level @dense cloud
eh
Free level and like why not
You go there via story
Hey should i make both my retainers miners
because im lazy
Once you're in stormblood they literally give you the items for free
There's a bridge from the tower that goes inside the mountain
Hi, I am returning player and very thankful this Discord Channel exists 🙇
I hope someone can help me with the bestiary, it is giving me headaches.... what can I do if I am unable to find one of the targets?
you mean the Hunting Log?
Yes
Google it.
the easiest thing to do would be to just look up their locations online
I tried but I do not find any database or something, I play in german language
@charred igloo http://dimensionaldeath.com/index.php?page=huntinglogs
Hunting Log Guide
Garland Bell or Gamerescape might be able to help but I don't know if they support German
Thank you, I will try that
I can find the locations, thanks again... but the translations of the names are really strange lol ^^'
Just bought this game 2 hours ago, I'm having some trouble with slow download speed (at around 0.50mb/s) been googling some but theres not really any concrete answers
so how much does a house devalue when up for sale?
random
Has anybody used the transfer homeworld option? Why is the step2 field blank for me?
you confirmed the destination world?
If we are full premade and enter duty, we don't get penalty for leaving right?
True north makes it so that my attacks are hitting from the best possible direction for potency increases, right?
Yes, it grants you positional bonuses regardless where you actually are
@young fjord you will get penalty for leaving a roulette even with a full premade, but if you're queueing up for something directly you won't
Where can i get a replacement aetheric compass?
forgotten knight (the bar in foundation), it's one of the NPC behind the counter. I wanna say it's the one in the corner, but it's been quite a while so I'm not 100%
thanks
housing prices
After you find and get the unspoiled node, it disappears until the next eorzean day ?
i thought Small houses, cottages, can only go up to 3 mil
not 5
i’m farming clusters
the price of small houses range from 3,750,000 to 3,000,000
@leaden ginkgo don't farm clusters, farm aetherial reduction if you need clusters
Do you know how to gather collectibles
I'd help but I don't know how to explain it well
Basically you gather specific materials using the collectible skills to raise the quality, and then you reduce them
if you Google crystals or clusters FFXIV, Gamerescape, garland tools, and teamcraft can hopefully point you in the right direction for what collectibles you can gather to maximise your crystal and cluster yield

is there a way to like automatically focus on a target instead of me having to click left stick every time

ohhh have to do the class quest then maybe?
cant remember if they are locked behind those are not
they are not i’m in SHB
Can I craft my crystarium deliveries with WVR and turn them in with LTW?
they share the same facet
Yes
neat
I've got 10 silver feathers and I'm at level 30. Should I save them?
Trying this again, sorry if this is considered spam. Just bought this game 2 hours ago, I'm having some trouble with slow download speed (at around 0.50mb/s) been googling some but theres not really any concrete answers
@carmine roost I didn't have any problems downloading the game. I got 14MB/s, which is my connection speed at max. Have you tried speedtest.net to ensure it's not on your end?
same thing happened to me
@leaden ginkgo
It depends on the Grade a plot has, grade 1 is the most expensive and grade 5 is the cheapest.
Also every 6 hours the price goes down, until the plot is bought.
tried speedtest, I dont have the most speedy net but on steam I'm downloading at around 4mb/s
the game downloaded with barely a few mbps
@carmine roost at the same time?
I just waited like 8 hours because I couldn't find a solution either
No paused the SE launcher first
Maybe congestion on the server side, @lament wagon, @carmine roost.
All what you can do is wait.
Only thing i read about is that the launcher downloads the game in different packages, and speed can vary from package to package, but the speed has been at a constant low of 0.50mb/s
@tender estuary , what do you think why the download speed is so low at A Snus and Nami's place?
Probably DNS issue or bad route
Try using a vpn or change your dns server to google in windows
should be on google already, but i'll give it a go, any particular location I should set my vpn?
I think EU data center in Germany so just set it there
Im in Norway tho, but I'll try anything at this point, I dont wanna wait 1300 minutes lmao
Also google dns i 8.8.8.8 right?
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
kk, thanks
Some other options you can use cloudflare, level 3 and Netflix’s fast dns recursive server
You’ll have to look them up though I can remember the addresses
Can’t
And I’m afk
okay thanks
Np
@lament wagon 
Well vpn and dns didnt work. Guess i'll suck it up and wait my now 1600 hours
I downloaded the game around 3 months ago
Is the hellfire set good
Spent all my tomes on it
@carmine roost, check other devices and software, maybe that software/device congested your home network.
I didn’t shire until it was too late
Hellfire was the 3.2 tome gear.
Shire was the 3.4 one.
The musoai fight is tough
You can deynth the hellfire gear too once you replaced it, it can give valuable materials.
you need a retainer
Via retainers
How do I get retainers
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
@carmine roost sorry you hear that, VPNs usually fix that (I’ve personally had to do it as well back in the day)
You could try another country or download from a different region
How would one do that?
XIV is weird like that I’ve never had a game download like it does lol
Oh I’m thinking of WoW I don’t think you can do that in XIV
Hmmm maybe could try port forwarding
Is anyone else on your network
Yeah another pc, probably on youtube, but that doesnt drag the speed down to 0.50mb, certainly not when steam downloads at 3mb
As for VPN just try connecting to the United States and see if it changes anything
3mb is still pretty slow
tell me about it hahah
Tell the other PC to get off YouTube and see if your DL improves at all
But 0.50 compared to 3 is wild, telephone lines back in the day were faster
I’ve never seen XIV fully utilize bandwidth I think because of its redundancy
Yeah no doubt that’s really slow
I don’t wanna lead you down a wild goose chase
If what i read is true where the launcher downloads loads of smaller packages it's the same as GTA5 which had a somewhat same impact as this. Now for the wild goose chase, I've had weeklong goosechases before when it comes to software/hardware issues hahah.
Portforwarding is a nogo, I dont know why but there is no option at all in my router settings to portforward, I struggled for weeks trying to open a port for a minecraft server, eventually I gave up.
But I'll try connecting to US, see if that changes
can someone explain the anime weapon quest coming into its own
its very confusing for me
Then yeah all I can say is try another VPN region or try another DNS server
I forgot to mention you need to flush your dns cache too
ipconfig /flushdns
In command prompt
I'll try that. Connecting to US vpn cut the download in half. Time remaining: Approximately 2530 minutes. big oof

I don’t think it’s a route issue I just think your network isn’t good enough to handle 2 consecutive connections possibly fighting for the same ports
3mbps is pretty bad
What is your rated speed from your ISP
I know you said that’s what you got from steak downloads
Which they usually rate it in MB/s not mb/s
Steam**
32/32 is what I pay for
couple weeks the internet has been complete shite though
but the speed the launcher is pulling is barely 500kb, thats not enough to watch a youtube vid in 720p
Right
So maybe it is a route issue, I’d contact SE support and your ISP and let them know. Ask if any nodes are down between you and the German datacenter
what are scrips
I'll give se support a go
Alright, ping me later if you need further assistance hopefully we can get an answer for you. I can only give you blanket answers sadly
Why is a bit of the EXP bar darker?
that's rested xp
Thanks alot for trying though, appreciate it 🙂 . If all else fails I'll do a 2006 and wait a day or two
you'll get a bonus for certain actions while you have it
Sounds good, and no problem
Hmm, what actions?
Killing things
Alright, thanks!
You'll get more rested xp if you afk/log off in a sanctuary
When it turns blue, you have enough.rested xp to level up
Rested xp is shared between all jobs
contact details on support ticket is 40 characters? 3head
question, what were the keybindings that let you move UI elements by 1 pixel?
fastest way to grind gc seals?
need them for anima
im lvl 80 with all of shb completed
gc turn ins
I usually just do high level dungeons and greed on loot then sell to GC, but turn ins works too.
what are turn ins?
gc asks for crafted items and they give you a ton of xp and seals
selling dungeon gear to gc is good too
which dungeon
would you recommend
it should be quick and have many drops i assume
higher the level the more seals.
Where can I get tomestones after completing my daily
don't think dungeons really have a difference in drops?
like number of drops?
Is there a LFG channel/Disc for FFXIV? I'm a new player.
For low level stuff you’re better off using the in game duty finder or party finder.
The recruitment channels for this discord are mainly used for endgame content
You can always try asking in your regional channel #retired-na-datacenters
copy, thank you very much!
which of the lvl 50 extreme trials drop mounts? or do they all drop
All extreme trials other than Odin and thornmarch
oh ok, do they all drop the same mounts, or is it trial specific
They drop their own
Does my FFXIV account progress carry between PS4 and PC? Or is it only Cross Play?
But Ifrit, Titan and Garuda can drop nightmare, a rarer mount
Thry carry over
As well as their own
@craggy dragon any of the HW leveling dungeons, with my personal favorites being Sohm Al and The Aery
Your progress is tied to your account
I do gubal personally
Which both ps4 and pc share
!faq
For doing it solo
#kupo-bot-spam
oh ok! ty 🙂
@faint flare so its cross save and cross play?
Okay cool, thank you!
so this Topaz Carbuncle tank pet cant hold aggro. I read on a thread that its a change that happened a bit ago? Is that right? If so, is there any reason to summon it above the emerald one. Leveling a Arcanist
It does more single target damage at low level
Until you get ifirit
Also gives you a beefy shield for survivability
It used to be pet and owner hate was separate
Now your pet hate gets transferred to you
On the other hand pets are immortal (save enrage mechanics / the summoner dying) now
Oh I forgot about despawns due to distance
Se fixes the resummoning bug in E6 then brings it back in the newest Ex trial
If you're too far away from your pat that's in a placed position it will despawn

and some weird niche cases due to being warped places
Does that happen in E8n/s? Haven't tried that with pet jobs
Since I know you get warped there
There's also math bot fight in the SB raid, and another SB raid boss that warps you to an area to fight ghosts
Never happened to me there
Im a trial and can't whisper back or even inv to party but can ppl see what i say out loud?
Yes
Do i have to stick with my starter job to continue on the main story quest?
no you can change
You cab swao but you'll have to level it up through other means to continue story
Yeah you can swap you just need to be high enough level to continue
Seems easy enough
so does it still taunt/generate more hate towards me? So bad idea to use it in a dungeon? Or, its just a good single target dps pet with the nice survivability shield
I'm talking specifically Topaz
Again
Topaz/Titan pet doesn't give enmity IIRC just that shield but you still don't ever want to use that since there is better DPS options
It doesn't generate extra
In dungeons you'll typically have emerald when there's 3+ mobs, on bosses you'll have Topaz due to higher single target damage
Until you get the third summon
Once you get ifirit you'll rarely summon topaz
^
got it. Thanks

i remember seeing a skill that revived all dead players in this ifrit trial, but can't find it in game.. is it even in the game?
oh ok, is it for WHM?
ohhh i see, ty
The dressed to call is letting me turn in even though im missing a piece
@half knot sorry for pinging you in another channel but the server you're in does matter when it comes to FCs (and housing)
statics are fine though, since cross-world parties are a thing, just gotta be in the same datacentre.
does anyone have a discord link for people who organize BA runs on primal datacenter?
ty
ok thank you
Am I doing standard step right
I do the 2 dances and finish
What cool down?
Everytime its available
Ok
1k potency is nothing to scoff at
Does it matter who my dance partner is?
Ideally.you partner the highest dps
SAM or SMN, right?
Or black mage
ah that too
What buffs do they get?
SAM/BLM/MNK/SMN are the big ones
damage buffs
5% damage buff and your devilment
Permanent +5% damage, and a crit/DH buff
I don’t have devilment yet
Whenever yoy get it they'll get it when you use it
devilment is lvl 62
also when should I be using devilment? bc I personally use it right after I finish technical step
On cooldown with technical
so I'm doing it right then?
Yes
Yep, some openers have you use it before technical but after the opener it’s after using technical
And you’d pair it with Flourish too
What if I misclick one of the steps
Props to SE for making jobs that don’t suck
Making this game personal preference
If I save a glamour set I can put it on whenever right?
You need to be in a city to do it
Is there an aether discord on Eureka?
@leaden ginkgo
You mean this kind of video?
(This is Pulse of Life, the other 2 are Angel Feathers {SCH} and Astral Stasis {AST}, they do all the same restore health of all party members to 100% even when KO'ed. Revive effect also restores all MP)
in PoTD for example you need to get aetherpool to 15/15 for floors 51-60
does HoH have smth similar where I need to have the weapons at a certain level
?
Yes, but I can’t remember what the requirement is for 21-30

Anyone having any trouble buying something from the Square Enix store? After putting in my info and payment stuff I click review order and nothings there, no way to proceed.
I looked around @obsidian patio doesnt seem to have a requirement 😮
Might just be super low like 5/5, which people easily get when going from 1-21
But yeah, there may not be a requirement
Fan dance 1 and 2 kinda suck
They’re free damage
DNC is burst timings iirc
So I’m aiming for fan dance 3
You generally keep 3 feathers, using the 4th one when you get it
Then dump it all under buffs
Like devilment and technical
For a big burst
Again they're free damage ontop of what you're already doing
And have a chance to proc fan dance 3 when you get it for more.free damage
whats the website that shows you gathering nodes?
possible to try on gyr plait from mb?
Nope, can’t try on hairs
@radiant brook garland tools is what I use for looking up nodes
!faq
Darnit, wrong one.
#kupo-bot-spam
Oh, sorry.
how much do you have to contribute to the ishgard fate
Why astral era questline gives so little xp
Oh so its mainly for gear?
Same reason capstone dungeons give poor xp
Cause they didn't prior
So the xp is tacked on
And its little so you're not going to completely over level the story
Since there's a decent number of quests after arr
Oh i see
I think im gonna buy xiv before level 35 since its on sale
I finished the role quests and I'm at lvl 80 but I can't access the drk lvl 80 quest
It doesn't show up on sidurgu
Have you finished the DRK questline itself
Yes
And have you completed the quest "Shadowbringers"
No
Will i still get the free 30 days if i made my starter account a long time ago?
No
Lame
30 days are activated as soon as you add the base game to your account
Wait no
Well ive only had a trial account never the purchased game
The 30 days will start as soon as he purchases the game
Like i made the trial a few years ago but only played a few times
Once he redeems the code to his square account the 30 days start
So yes you'll still get the 30 days
Now i might actually buy the complete edition but i want to know ill get the 30
Okay good
What do you mean by starter account @leaden ginkgo
Free trial?
Or buying the game
if you already had the base game on your account, then no you don't get the 30 days if you're buying for the same platform
Free trial Ive never bought the game
Then yeah you get the days
Then yes you'd get the time
Kk sweet
The base game is called "starter edition" so I got confused
Probably will wait til the last day of the sale
Too get the most out of the free periof
Period
I think i can get 35 by the 29th
Rush that shit
It seems pretty fast levelinh
Join a server that has exp bonus
Yee im on one with a bonus
Good. Most of the story up to lvl 35 doesn't really matter as much it's basic fetch quests
Gotta do some irl stuff but then gonna play all night
Just skim thru the dialogue to get a basic idea
Yeah i notice its all pretty basic shit and a lot of it is talk to this person in the city
Do Hunts scale with player number? I just unlocked them and the footage I see is a bunch of people ganging up on a B Rank
Power through it though at the end of arr things get insane
But I beat this same B rank on my own a few days ago (before I had hunts)
They dont
Tbh my trouble with 11 is it was really no hand holding at all so i would get lost af and always never know whrre to go without friends guidance lol
They probably all had the same mark
So easier to party up and kill it together for credit
Faster kills?
14 seems to be really obvious on what to do which i like tbh i hate getting stuck a bunch on something that should be simple
I'm finishing up ARR now Klesk and yeah I found 99% of it well set up and not confusing, especially main quests

That'd be the cluster you get for doing it
The cracked clusters
Which is locked per week
I wish i started 14 sooner tbh
Its a free extra source
I heard the story for characters made before they "fixed" the game is a lot different
Not really, just slightly different opening cutscene
I love vanity pets too i hope i can still collect most of the minions
Basically Everything is obtainable in some way shape or formm
Except some seasonal events but those go on Mogstation eventually
And the garo event stuff, thats gone
My favorite is Halloween stuff
Are trusts meant to be this shockingly awful? I've been in Holminster Switch for 50 minutes now with them
Lol
Average of 30-40mins
Any wipes will typically be explained by your doing
Trusts never aggro more than 1 pack
Or aoe
are you bringing it back to him
Because he can handle more than one pack
hm
never had issue with those two
so i bought this game a couple months ago and it won't allow me into my account i have all the info on it i can change the passwords and everthing above i contacted support u guys have any idea evertime it just says unexpected logins and makes me change the password
i had 2 months worth becouse i bought the deluxe edition but i got locked out so i didn't even get about 30mins of play time
yeah
and i finally got in but then it will lock me out in like a hour
are you using a vpn
cos something is causing the game to think your ip address/location has changed
thats why its locking you out
it happend to my friend aswell we both started the same day and it locked us both out
he gave up but im still wanting to give it one more try
that said you could try adding the authenticator to your account
dosen't that cost extra $

Is the piano rendition of full fathom five the only version that plays in the city?
I like the other one more
didn't think I was going to like this game as much as I do and I rushed through my character creation. any way for me to edit body/face/hair etc. after the fact now that im leveled up?
you get a free fantasia from the lvl 50 main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon"
And you can change some studf via the aesthetician
but you can change your hair colour/style and some minor details with the aesthetician which requires the unlock of "beauty is only scalp deep" in limsa
Is there any equivalent to Heirloom gear from WoW?
Other than the Aethyrite Earrings and Brand New Ring
Nope
Are the The Class Boost, Tales of Adventure not available anymore? Read about them Online
they're still there
yeah they are still available for purchase on the mogstation
i seriously cant find them
Optional Items > level boost
Is it where the Class Boosts are?
yes
Tales of Adventure: One X's Journey II is the job boost
Cant see anything that levels Smithing tho
because there's nothing for crafting or gathering
None for crafters and gatherers
Cause those dont exist
its only combat jobs
Only China and I think South Korea has boosts for those
Ah forgot. Someone at Square had the idea to call Classes jobs... Sorry guys
