yeah that usually means they don't have it unlocked or not high enough item level

Is there an extensive document or website where I can see ALL the unlockable things and which quests lead to it? I keep discovering content I somehow skipped because it's behind some obscure side quest somewhere that unlocks after another 5 side quests
Like the relics and some trials I never even heard about despite it being Stormblood content

I'd try also sending in a support ticket if none of those work.

SE/Mogstation/FFXIV be fickle like that sometimes.
If it's been working before, chances are it's just SE bugging out as usual, or it might be something on Steam's end.
Or both, at worst, since CS is currently locked to email only due to COVID
hold on a minute
you can't buy a 60 day sub without the use of time cards.
What region is your SE account set to
and where did you buy the time card code from?
You can't redeem an NA time code on an EU account
If all else fails, instead of using Steam Wallet you could instead buy Crysta to pay for a sub. Lets you pay with paypal as well so you can get around the "wrong region" error that SE loves to enforce for some stupid reason.
Do you have a VPN active?
olive lintel
Any other dps overlays that are easy to use? ACT seems complicated. I just really need the dps ranking thats all
slate arrow
the only way to get an overlay in FFXIV is to use ACT
olive lintel
Sad. Thanks!
slate arrow
@near meteor fortunately CS should get to your ticket sometime in the week. Make sure to answer all their questions and see if you can work out what's the issue. As far as I know, you're just suffering a wrong region error due to some weird circumstance.
yes, definitely.
If you're trying to pay with steam wallet set to middle east currency that's probably why
(I was assuming you were using an EU account so uh, whoops)
one second
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
and then consider trying a VPN to a US location the next time you try to pay for a sub.
Mogstation will probably continue throwing a hissy fit otherwise
(whoops, that has some somewhat sensitive information)
can't promise you anything because this is SE we're talking about
Also, are your free play days still active?
If they are, I'd say just ignore subbing for now and just enjoy the game.
vagrant copper
FWIW, this last week I had problems with mogstation payments as well. I bought the game fine. Threw an error trying to buy the collector's edition. Waited a day. Bought that fine. Threw an error trying to buy some optional items. Waited a day. Bought that fine. Weird stuff.
🤷♂️
slate arrow
It's not like the content is going anywhere.
There's solutions but they all don't involve steam wallet
Buying Crysta with Paypal
just buying a time code card
unless Steam Wallet is your only way to pay you aren't screwed.
Anyways, if you can pay via your phone, just use that for now instead of trying to do it on PC.
oh no
Can you use Paypal, then?
I use paypal to buy crysta which i then use to buy a sub
bit of a roundabout method but it works
Just make sure it's the NA customer support
since you have an NA account
sorry I couldn't help you more
no clue, never used CS here

Is it worth levelling my retainers, or is the effect of it quite low?

wrong chat

@polar bay they can be a pretty decent source of materials which can make a bit of money depending on the exact item and your server.
a good early item for combat retainers sometimes being Fleece and Spoken blood

hi would they introduce new items for the 2nd ishgard restoration rankings? is it viable to stock up on stuff and appraise when rankings are open?
obsidian patio
The recent Live Letter implies the next season is going to come with the 3rd phase of the restoration
so stockpiling won't help at all.
yeah, don't stockpile current phase stuff

@rough anchor I think it's Dispatch a retainer
or you might have to go to the main city states to create a new retainer

when did you buy an additional retainer and did you log out and log back in

try in Ul'Dah, Gridania, or Limsa

You can't hire a new retainer from the Crystarium.

is there any way to sort equipment inventory by the level?
patent citrus
really? how come mine isn't sorted 😢
slate arrow
right click > sort
slate arrow
you augument one of the rings and then you buy a second ring
no
if you're lazy you could use a striking ring since they both grant STR and VIT
rough anchor
uh, how'd I make my retainer a gunbreaker? I don't see the option
warped nest
Level it first
rough anchor
i have GNB 80
warped nest
It can't start as a Gunbreaker

ah do I have to get the retainer to lvl 60?

oh yeah okay

any tips to level up from 1-15 ;-;
open current
@hoary storm thank you!
slow oriole
do people just noth bother with heavan on high anymore? I unlocked it to level my alt from 61-70 and I have been in the que for over 50mins for floors 1-10
lament wagon
first job? @drifting burrow
people queue for 21-30 when leveling alts but still 50 minutes.. I guess you're a bit unlucky
an easy way to level up from 1 to 15 is to go to a higher level area, tag a mob and have someone else who is not in your party kill them
other than that, do your hunting log and challenge log

thin abyss
is there an easy healer build that I could go about that is also able to do solo and do dps?
patent citrus
btw
spiral scroll
i didnt mean to rant sorry
patent citrus
is it a good idea to just save main quest for my dps class
spiral scroll
i just asked if theres is a mod
patent citrus
and just queue dungeon as tank
open coral
No no, I'm just saying that this conversation would be better continued in one of those channels.
patent citrus
to level the dps class faster
open coral
I would be happy to continue it in either place. I just don't want to derail this channel from its intended purpose more than we already have.
wintry chasm
@thin abyss All healers can solo and DPS
thin abyss
so an arcanist can do the healing and dps?
open coral
Yes
open coral
SCH/AST/WHM are all capable of doing damage as well as healing.
thin abyss
well I am starting a second characacter and wanted to play the mage playstyle and try that one out
wintry chasm
Naturally a healer won't be doing massive amounts of damage but as a healer you are meant to help DPS
thin abyss
ok and the best one is the arcanist route?
zinc orbitBOT
thin abyss
ok

Guys new player here.
I just got into Havensward and completed the first quest to unlock the darknight. Unfortunately, I see that the DK starts at 30, I have two questions:
- how do i level up DK fast?
- do I have to have the DK active in order to level it? Or can I just levelup the paladin by progressing the main story and also get DK experience points? I am confused on howe the xp is split between classes
thanks guys ❤️
proud willow
Dark Knight will only level up by doing stuff as a Dark Knight
wintry chasm
- Highest level dungeon spam AFTER roulettes
- yes all jobs level separate minus Scholar and Summoner so you need to be DRK to level it
proud willow
If the dungeon queues aren't long, you want to just keep running whatever the highest level dungeon you can get into on DRK
wintry chasm
The only reason Scholar and Summoner share levels is because they come from the same class Arcanist
No other jobs share classes
ergo don't level at the same time

Hi guys I just started playing this game and I was wondering does it matter which server to play on? If so, which server should I get started as a beginner?
orchid condor
ive been gone for a few months 
did red mage get a buff? i know i "shouldnt" pay attention to DPS charts, but according to what im seeing RDM is top 5 dps right now
patent citrus
when i decide which server im going to play
i'll just join any facebook/discord where the players in my area gather
and ask which server they are playing on
static widget
I see
wintry chasm
I think they got something Simp but I forget the specifics
marble drift
yeah generally hanging out with people around you makes a difference
wintry chasm
No
marble drift
heh no
well I mean. Join a US server as an australian and you'll see a difficulty spike
wintry chasm
@static widget Generally I'd suggest a preferred server in your region since that gives double xp gain up to level 70 for usually 90 days among other things
It's really really good
wintry chasm
and that's where new players tend to get shuffled into so the leveling areas would probably look more lively
static widget
Yeah i picked Excalibur since it has the least ping
marble drift
that means others near you probably picked that too.
as thus the server should be active around the times you are.
marble drift
Hey man nothin' wrong with JP.
static widget
Can you switch to different servers for free or do you have to pay for it?
high hawk
which JP servers have more ENG speakers?
marble drift
You'll want anything on the Elemental Data Centre @high hawk
wintry chasm
Tonberry/Kujata
marble drift
Tonberry and Kujata are the big 2
wintry chasm
Which are on Elemental yeah
autumn geyser
- Highest level dungeon spam AFTER roulettes
- yes all jobs level separate minus Scholar and Summoner so you need to be DRK to level it
@wintry chasm
So, for example, manor?
autumn geyser
Palace of the dead? Is that a good way also or..?
open coral
For dps, yes.
patent citrus
true, im at tonberry 👋
wintry chasm
It's not the fastest for tanks and healers and it doesn't teach you how to tank
so I wouldn't suggest it over dungeon spamming
autumn geyser
ok thanks
high hawk
is there a good way to check ping without logging into the game besides pinging the IP addresses they gave?
forest laurel
afaik the only way to do so is to just ping the datacentre IP in command prompt.
high hawk
i see
zinc orbitBOT

patent citrus
if you have to pick exp food and better equipment
which one would you choose (from msq reward)
open coral
You can buy eggs or raisins for like 5 gil each or something.
wintry chasm
4 gil each IIRC
open coral
Super cheap, either way
wintry chasm
like if you just get the equipment and sold that it'd fund hours and hours of food
marble drift
eventually they start offering allagan pieces which are just vendor trash
but generally the best if you're just gonna sell it. they sell for the most
high hawk
yep, elemental gives the best ping, gotta think about transferring to JP then
eggs are good for exp? or they just fall under cheap and still gives the 3% bonus
forest laurel
all food gives the 3% xp bonus
solemn delta
Just messing around on my BLM and using the help I got. But I wondered is it a huge dps loss to use fire until you get proc to save mp?
high hawk
oh
patent citrus
wew i received food lv 9 🤦♂️ means I didn't use it when i was about that level
high hawk
nothing gives more than 3%?
open coral
Nope
patent citrus
can I still use these now? as lv 27
open coral
Yes
patent citrus
ok
forest laurel
food is either used for the xp bonus (most people), or for endgame content.
open coral
You can use food at any time to get a 3% xp bonus while leveling
orchid condor
Is Palace of the Dead 51-60 spam still the best for DPS leveling?
high hawk
icic
open coral
Yeah Simp, after you've done daily roulettes.
solemn delta
I've heard squadrons are really good but I've got to wait until tomorrow to try them
solemn delta
Might have been when people used the glitch though
patent citrus
so this duty roulette should be done per day yeah? 🤔
open coral
Yes
solemn delta
Every day yeah
patent citrus
I never think of it, just been enjoying the story and didn't min-max leveling method
tranquil blade
is there anyway to mod an Aura hairstyle to a Hyur?
patent citrus
zzzzz
open coral
Duty Roulettes give a good chunk of xp and currency daily.
solemn delta
Later avoid heists
open coral
What do you mean @tranquil blade ?
raw solstice
@solemn delta in what sort of context are you asking that, for BLM? You should absolutely use F3 to swap into AF3 always, it is always worth it (outside of AoE at high mob counts at level 72+). Past that it's just F1 spam in AF, using F3 procs when you get them but not cancelling or delaying a cast to use them
open coral
Aside from Viera/Hrothgar, all character models of each gender should have the same hairstyles available.
solemn delta
Just using fire until you got your F3 proc to start
raw solstice
it's not worth it, no
warm stone
new player here, does it matter at all what i play? or just play whatever the fuzz i want
marble drift
fuzz it up friend
raw solstice
play what you want, it's plenty fine
solemn delta
Yeah, great rng every time maybe? But 40% you need astral 3?
raw solstice
you generally open up with B3 anyways, especially if you can precast, since it means you can T3 -> fast (and cheaper) F3
raw solstice
yeah. It becomes more of a notable thing at level 60, but even before then a B3 start is pretty solid
tranquil blade
@open coral oh they arent Race Locked? i thought some were
raw solstice
sure does
tranquil blade
let me find the one im talking about
solemn delta
Why, out of curiosity would you start with your mp recover spell which is weaker?
Yeah the guide starts with B3
raw solstice
it allows you to apply thunder then enter AF with almost full (or full) MP
well it's only fully full at level 72+ because of a trait but
the MP reduction on the F3 is a pretty big deal, and if you can precast the B3 the cast time is basically not applicable since the pull happens as your B3 hits and you can instantly start your next spell
tranquil blade
i couldnt and in game pic rn, but its this ome
open coral
That one shouldn't be race locked I don't think.
If it's the one I'm thinking of.
Male or female?
tranquil blade
Male
solemn delta
Got ya. Thanks mate
tranquil blade
oh im also on ARR still and i havent downloaded the expansions yet so maybe there under an update (if it works like that)
open coral
It shouldn't. It is, however, possible that the hairstyle you're looking for is one that you have to buy a "Modern Aesthetics" manual for in order to add it to your collection.
tranquil blade
oh okay ill look it up thanks
open coral
Without seeing the actual style you're looking for it's hard to say though.
That looks like an older one though, since Au Ra aren't on it
open coral
Oh. That one.
That might be racial.
I know there's a similar one for Hyur males
But I don't think you can get that exact style.
tranquil blade
oh could i mod it to a Hyur?
open coral
No
tranquil blade
well thanks for help
wintry chasm
well mod it maybe

you can also find yourself by examining them and hovering over thier weapon. it'll say the weapon first and then what its glamoured to look like
maiden palm
hello new player here iv searched a ton of info on the internet but im still not satisfied. endgame-wise what is there to grind . is max power easy to achieve, do raids give exclusive meaningful rewards and are there any rare things i can grind/craft and whatnot to sell on the market and what guild content is there
dusk umbra
question, when should I even think of look at slotting materia into my gear?
marble drift
@dusk umbra 80.
dusk umbra
alright just making sure as I proceed through stormblood that I don't need to
marble drift
@maiden palm What to grind: Acheivements, Titles, Mounts. Max Power Easy? Yes. If you're good. Raid rewards? Yes. Titles and mounts. Rare things to grind and craft for sale? Yes for the most part.
maiden palm
like i want to see somones gear etc and say he is a god
i read somehwere that the best eapon is a relic and evey1 gets it after a long quest chain..
weapon
vernal surge
Is there a map with the quest locations for aether currents?
marble drift
The best weapon at the very end of the expansion is on par with the best weaponry
vernal surge
I'm missing a quest in the lochs and I can't find it
marble drift
currently? the relic for level 80's is in its early stages. Raid weapons will surpass them
Yes @vernal surge a quick google will offer that to you
open coral
@maiden palm That's a bit of a complicated question.
is max power easy to achieve: Yes and no. Getting to max level with one job is easy. Getting to max level with all jobs and professions will take some time.
do raids give exclusive meaningful rewards: Exclusive, yes. In that there is gear that can only be obtained through raids. Meaningful? That's down to your definition.
are there any rare things i can grind/craft and whatnot to sell on the market Of course there are. But they require equally rare materials to create in the first place.
maiden palm
that should do it for me , also having good fashion/transmog and all classes on one character . i just search longevity on a game .
open coral
There is a meme in this game that "glamour is the true endgame". You will not want for fashion in this game.
maiden palm
huh xd
vernal surge
Maybe instead of "Google it" you can ignore my question altogether
marble drift
Right but you were asking for a list of quest locations
do YOU memorize quest locations in games? heck no.
maiden palm
lastly is there guild content?
open coral
In what sense?
slate arrow
guilds grant you your new classes
maiden palm
i hear that pvp isnt strong so i wont ask for gvg
marble drift
Wrong guild Revo
slate arrow
if you mean WoW guild they're called Free Companies
marble drift
guild as in FC
maiden palm
yes
vernal surge
I specifically asked for aether current quests of which there are 5
open coral
There are guilds (called Free Companies), but content is not reliant upon being in them.
maiden palm
company
slate arrow
FC content is mostly passive, they grant nice buffs but they're in no way required
marble drift
Right. I did those quests literal years ago and my memory on them would be hazy at best. Why would you ask someone to recall them from memory?
open coral
@vernal surge Try checking around the two Aetheryte hubs for a 
vernal surge
How about you just ignore my question?
maiden palm
i guess this game is more like eso than wow not having group content
open coral
That's the best way to find them.
maiden palm
not having more focus
vernal surge
I've asked a million questions here and I've never had such a useless reply before
What an asshole
slate arrow
you two, stop arguing over who can remember a quest location and the viability of google as a resource
please.
open coral
@maiden palm Not really? WoW doesn't really have guild-based content either. Much like WoW, there are endgame raids and bosses, and people do form teams (called statics), but you don't have to be in a FC to participate.
slate arrow
Best way to put it: you generally join FCs for the buffs or socialization
(Buffs such as reduced durability loss, increased EXP gain, reduced weakness timers, etc)
maiden palm
i see
marble drift
You would also get access to thier housing (if the FC has purchased one)
junior perch
Hey guys I have a question, how do you unlock and get Poetic stone I think is the name of the item, or how do I get good lvl 50 gear (I just have the job quest one)
marble drift
which can let you do a few more niche things
slate arrow
In order to get Tomestone of poetics you need to do level 50 content.
In order to access level 50 content you need to finish the 2.0 MSQ (Which has you beating the Praetorium)
open coral
@junior perch You'll need to reach level 50 in the MSQ before any content will offer poetics.
slate arrow
I think the quest is called The Ultima Weapon?
maiden palm
a downside for me is there isnt a competitive aspect but it gets outweighed from jobs/pve etc
or so i think so im just a guy downloading it xd
open coral
Rock the Castrum is the first of the quests that allows you get poetics.
marble drift
what makes you think there isnt competition?
maiden palm
pvp isnt its strong point , no gvg for territory i
junior perch
oh nice ty
open coral
There is no open world PvP, but that doesn't mean there's no competition.
PvP just isn't where the competition is.
marble drift
There are ranked PvP seasons.

anything that puts you against other players?

Ishgard Restoration Rankings
open coral
Crafting leaderboards in Ishgard Restoration
marble drift
the world "competetive" is kinda broad
open coral
That's competitive af
maiden palm
if not im sold
slate arrow
it's a bit of effort to level crafters
since you have to level all 8 if you want to craft effectively
marble drift
capping your level on a crafting class is relatively simple. there are guides out there.
understanding the crafting system itself is a mote trickier
slate arrow
But you can't just sit down and plunk out 200 bronze nails
endgame materials require you to manually craft them
maiden palm
if i have a max craft or high lvl do ppl buy more than ofter
lavish vortex
hi!!, question a gear with level 125 is always going to be better than a gear with item level 120?... meaning, more item level is always better? no exeptions?
maiden palm
or every1 has what he needs and market is kinda irrelevant
slate arrow
@lavish vortex depends if it's High Quality or not
marble drift
Before 80 @lavish vortex yes
open coral
Yes, more ilevel will (almost) always be better, at least while leveling.
slate arrow
if it's a Normal Quality 125 vendor gear, it will be worse than Poetic 120 gear
marble drift
at 80. Very niche cases sometimes have the lower item level piece win based on available options
open coral
Once you hit level cap, you start worrying more about secondaries.
marble drift
use your item comparison function and before cap. Just compare main stat (STR/DEX/MND/INT)
and use whatever has more
based on your class choice of course.
slate arrow
Best way to put it is that Item Level represents the gear's potential maximum stats
lavish vortex
if it's a Normal Quality 125 vendor gear, it will be worse than Poetic 120 gear
@slate arrow oh, i see, so so in this particular case, which one is better? lvl 120 Ironworks Cuirass of Maiming, or lvl 125 Holy Rainbow Shirt of Maiming?
slate arrow
120 Ironworks, assuming the Rainbow Shirt is Normal Quality
(Aka, it doesn't have 
in it's name)
marble drift
HQ item icons also have a slight....lens flare? I guess
slate arrow
Golden Sheen
marble drift
Yeah thats probably a better description
lavish vortex
i think its HQ, i have to check... if its HQ, Rainbow shirt is better?
slate arrow
yes
lavish vortex
so as a general rule, i should not use normal quality gear in general, right?
marble drift
unless it happens to be OODLES of levels ahead of your current gear
again. I would strongly advise using your item comparison function.
open coral
As a point, however, you can upgrade Ironworks gear to 130.
marble drift
right click it in your armory and the item comparison option should show
lavish vortex
so it all comes down to defense and stats... more average is always better... is that a good way to look at it?
slate arrow
basically, look for the bigger Main Stat
slate arrow
for Dragoon, you want the piece with the highest Strength stat
lavish vortex
got it... thanks a lot!
marble drift
You gotta get SWOLE son
get them strength GAINS!
💪🏻
note (your character doesnt actually get more muscle-ly with more strength stat. im just a memer)
lavish vortex
hahahahaha🤣
one more question, the equip recommended gear option is good? like... should i do what it says?
slate arrow
its generally good enough yeah
it prioritizes your main stat over everything else though so do double check
(Up to 60, accessories work on all jobs, so sometimes you can equip a fending accessory on a Dragoon which means you can get tenacity, which a Dragoon cannot use whatsoever)
forest lark
So I am level 80 and I just got one shotted by something in region level 60?
marble drift
yeah probably a hunt mark.
forest lark
I ddidnt see what killed me cause I wasbdoing something on interface
slate arrow
definitely sounds like a hunt mark
lavish vortex
(Up to 60, accessories work on all jobs, so sometimes you can equip a fending accessory on a Dragoon which means you can get tenacity, which a Dragoon cannot use whatsoever)
@slate arrow got it, thanks again
forest lark
Could that be it?
slate arrow
super powerful mobs which generally need a full party to take care of
marble drift
can you describe what killed you? we could probably hunt down the cause
forest lark
I didnt see lol
marble drift
ah well.
slate arrow
this symbol usually denotes if a mob is an A or S rank hunt mark

Quick question. Does the bonus exp count when you start the roulette or after?

what bonus EXP
if you mean Adventurer in Need it's given as soon as you queue

For example, if I start a roulette duty, and while playing, it goes past the reset time, can I do it again?

you can boost to 50 and 60 too
dunno about the other q since I haven't boosted myself
proper cipher
There's one for each previous expansion I believe. And too my knowledge it skips the quests. And starts you at the first one past the level you boasted to
left cedar
If you really want to see them, you could look them up on Youtube.
opal shoal
some scenes can be viewed at the inn too but not all
raw solstice
@left cedar reset is sometimes 10am for EST. There's no DST for eorzea so when we start/end it, the reset times shift by an hour
slate arrow
@autumn geyser job boost only exists to get you caught up to the current ezpansion
Previous job boosts are retired on expansion launch
autumn geyser
Previous job boosts are retired on expansion launch
@slate arrow ok so previous comments about other boosts are incorrect?
left cedar
@raw solstice Aah, that would explain it. Thanks!
slate arrow
@autumn geyser yeah
autumn geyser
I see. Thanks.
opal shoal
aah that makes sense
silly DST

You can still buy 50 boosts
and 60
they bump your class to the respective level
"* This item will not raise your character's level."
oh wait
disregard
guess it doesn't work that way. I'm a dummy

nope death from falling is impossible
leaden ginkgo
No it's possible
But you have to be in combat
If you aggro a mob then fall you'll die
The mob doesnt have to hit you it just has to be agrrod
Question of my own
Where do I find fisherman gig heada
proper sonnet
You don't find more there's only 3 from the start
mental dragon
I'm a level 44 bard but I can't use bard spells like army's paeon, how do I got about fixing this? Is this because I'm using a bow?
marble drift
Did you forget to equip your soul stone?
raw solstice
you have to do your job quests
marble drift
also that
raw solstice
army's paeon is a reward from the level 40 BRD job quest
forest lark
How does the boutique work nextbto that fashion report dude?
HowbdoBi unlock spring glamour
I just want the spring bottoms 
But it saysbit needs 600 or 600.000 points of sonething?
green grail
600 combined points from your fashion reports
opal shoal
6 weeks minimum yeah
forest lark
I already accumulated aboutb160 points so far

oh good

why alphinaud gotta be the real main character tho?

finally lv 30 🤦♂️
leaden ginkgo
tip on how to get fast poes even after u did roulettes and wt?
patent citrus
what should i do now to change to marauder?
i mean warrior
probably will eat up the reset
mossy current
A should appear near the marauder guild, dank
dusty jungle
The daily is counted when the dungeon ends
So if you finish after the reset it will count to the new day
mossy current
If the quest isn't available, continue MSQ until the quest "Sylph-Management"
patent citrus
rip in peace
even if i have company chocobo, renting chocobo seems the most convenient
you gotta enjoy the view while doing something else in real life
-_-
instead of controlling your chicken
patent citrus
actually i prefer it this way haha
instead of this "open-world" thing in wow
-_-
I like it how you can't just jump into the river in limsa lominsa
something like that
it allows developer to produce amazing view
ok found the quest at marauder guild, ty ty
i was reminded that i have to wear some sort of feather
to change to warrior
where can i find that? 🤔
open coral
Swimming wasn't a... thing... in FFXIV until Stormblood.
So water in most of the older zones isn't swimmable
mossy current
Dank, you don't need a feather
marble drift
I am trying to piece together how you got to feather
vagrant copper
There's the soul crystal slot in the bottom right...? Though you'd have to alreaddy be a warrior for that
open coral
You just need to change your weapon to an axe to become a marauder.
And then equip the Warrior job stone.

why i keep getting disconnected (connection to server lost) -_-
internet seems fine and no abnormalities
is it possible if some people getting kicked if server is full?
how to check current ping in game without typing in cmd?
is it the sending and receiving number at top right of the screen?
thin abyss
Is there like a chest or stash tab in this game. My inventory is filling up and I don't know where to put my stuff. Right now I have 1 and half stash full but I wanna think ahead if I need to do some quests to unlock the stuff
patent citrus
yeah thought so 🤦♂️
raw zodiac
So I just hit level 30, is this around the time the game speeds up?
patent citrus
and what do you guys think of some certain room in dungeon that only contain treasure chest?
faint flare
Retainerd are your banks
patent citrus
do you guys skip it or get them?
patent citrus
ok
faint flare
Side rooms basically go after Arr
patent citrus
yeah thought so
slate arrow
Most of the time it's not worth going off the beaten path
Later on dungeons are less dungeons and more gauntlets
raw zodiac
oh whenever I do the low level dungeons (Only level 30 now) the tank ALWAYS goes to the side rooms lol
Maybe its because I get queued with new people
faint flare
Probably
patent citrus
i might've been the tank hahahah
slate arrow
ARR gets the worst of it because a lot of the dungeons are reused from 1.0 with very little to no modification besides maybe reversing the map
raw zodiac
I saw a tank grab all the adds and take them to the boss areas
patent citrus
i guess i just wanted to explore the map and see it completed in my minimap -_-
but the healer just didn't say anything and just not follow me
cause i keep getting the chest
raw zodiac
Just mention it in p chat
patent citrus
but until now, most healers were nice
raw zodiac
Im sure most would understand
patent citrus
they follow me around haha
proper cipher
You can go back and solo them later I believe
faint flare
Yes
raw zodiac
Also im trying to debate if i should wait till level 50 to buy shadowbringers
Since I want to race swap and do samurai
I do plan on doing all content
patent citrus
wew im still in free trial mode lol
raw zodiac
Up to that point
patent citrus
i wanted to try pugilist, but not sure if it's worthed
vagrant copper
You don't get samurai until 50 anyways so the only thing it's really restricting you on is race choice
raw zodiac
Yea maybe its not really worth it right this second lol
patent citrus
like i just wanted to try pugilist because of tifa combat mechanic in ffvii remake -_-
but i doubt it will be the same thing
raw zodiac
I mean you dont lose anything for trying it
proper cipher
It's not
raw zodiac
Ive been trying to figure out how gathering jobs work
But I think im still too poor
only 70k
mossy current
Monk works with "greased lighting" stacks that boost damage and skill speed
hasty spade
How do I get from level 46 to 49 quickly? What's the best grinding option?
mossy current
For combat jobs?
patent citrus
ok i'll just skip pugilist then
hasty spade
Yeah. I'm on the grind part of the plot
mossy current
Palace of the Dead if DPS, for Tank/Healer, run Darkhold or Aurum Vale a few times
patent citrus
i'll get lv 60 warrior
raw zodiac
Palace of the dead seems interesting honestly
Just I heard the higher floors basically need a group
mossy current
Yea
mossy current
No duty finder for floors 100+
raw zodiac
I dont think I have a class that can consider solo'ing it
Since my 2 choices are floor tanks
proper cipher
Red mage is the only class that can solo the entire thing I thought
raw zodiac
Also whats the thing with Blue Mages?
mossy current
It's a side distraction
faint flare
Side content
raw zodiac
ight thanks!
hasty spade
Palace it is, I'm close to exceeding my normal level there, lol
opaque pewter
Every class is streamlined to have 33 hotkeyed skills at lvl 80, right?
patent citrus
33 hotkeyed skill?
i only have 12 slots in my skill bar
how do i even manage that
stuck oracle
multiple hotbars
vagrant copper
... why have I not been using the F keys? omg
forest laurel
it's ok I was using 1-0 for like 2 months 
hasty spade
I guess I'll just run Roulette now, then Deep until I hit 49
opaque pewter
Okay, I'm missing a few skills on AST then cuz I count 34.
wispy shard
The reason you don’t tend to use the F keys is they’re a bit of a stretch if you’re moving. On a caster, they’re probably easier to reach since you hold still.
leaden ginkgo
For healers do people mostly keep the f keeps bound to party member or do they use a diff setup
patent citrus
nice, warrior now 😄
wispy shard
I just switched my keybinds to 1-5, QWERFZXC, then Shift and Control as modifiers. Gives me 36.
raw zodiac
one of my fc members has quick res bound
to a macro that targets
or at least thats what i understood
thin abyss
at what lvl of archer should I start using combos?
archer/bard
I am currently lvl 39 bard
strange coral
Bard doesn't have combos
opaque pewter
@leaden ginkgo I literally just click on their names on party list.
Don't judge me
strange coral
At least, not like melee and machinist type of combos
Bard is more priority and proc based
thin abyss
ok how do I fight? Like I wanna know what would be the best skills to lvl with
mossy current
All of them
strange coral
All of them
leaden ginkgo
You should be using all of your kit
patent citrus
how do i active 3rd skill bar?
patent citrus
thin abyss
I am currently using windbite Blood letter quick nock and straight shot for damage
And I trigger my buffs on bosses
mossy current
That's controller hotbar
vagrant copper
You can also right-click things in the HUD Layout to show/hide them
thin abyss
Windbite and Venemouse Bite?
strange coral
Yes
patent citrus
alright, got it thanks
patent citrus
i missed the details such as the hotbar word blinking -_- to show/hide
mossy current
Heavy Shot is your go-to if nothing is proc'd
thin abyss
ok and I should not be doing bloodletter
mossy current
When it's up, use it
slate arrow
use bloodletter on cooldown
mossy current
That's bard!
strange coral
If you have enough dots going, and mage's ballad, you should be doing both heavy shot and bloodletter. Bloodletter is ogcd so you can weave it while heavy shot is on cooldown.
leaden ginkgo
Bard can be a lot take in but you get used to it
Just gotta get into the rhythm of it all
wispy shard
SMN, at least to start.
mossy current
SMN gets complex to newcomers fast
thin abyss
SMN = Summoner?
mossy current
^
slate arrow
but MCH you have to play fast
thin abyss
what is MCH? Maurauder?
wispy shard
It doesn’t get complex to newcomers, you spend like 40 levels doing DoT DoT Ruin. Aethertap’s about as complex as it gets until closer to 50
slate arrow
Machinist
gloomy ice
All classes/jobs have a three letter abbreviation btw
mossy current
I mean, I've seen people ask about summoner a lot, especially post 60
slate arrow
I wouldn't recommend summoner because once you hit level 70 it's just
thin abyss
ok machinist
slate arrow
unga bunga buttons everywhere
mossy current
It's very active
thin abyss
so I have to progress to lvl 50 to get machinist?
slate arrow
It's both level 50 and locked behind the MSQ
slate arrow
namely, you need to be able to access ishgard
wispy shard
Yes but by the time 60 or 70 rolls around, the player is arguably no longer just a novice. So a more active playstyle should be fine
slate arrow
(Which also needs you to own Heavensward)
slate arrow
yeah then just keep at the MSQ for MCH then
thin abyss
yeah I will go up to 50 with bard and then mch
slate arrow
Unfortunately, all ARR DPS jobs have some sort of complexity at endgame, now that I think about it.
If you want to play them well, that is.
thin abyss
sorry but what is ARR
slate arrow
ARR = A Realm Reborn
mossy current
A Relam Reborn
gloomy ice
The base game from 1-50
mossy current
Base game
slate arrow
Namely, levels 1-50 in the MSQ
thin abyss
ok
slate arrow
Also refered to as 2.0 and 2.X
thin abyss
is there also a good guide on keyboard layout setup? I am having a hard time adjusting to this active playstyle as most buttons are everywhere and I keep forgetting where everything is
slate arrow
Keyboard layout is entirely subjective.
lavish vortex
Where can I check how many tomestone of poetics I have?
slate arrow
Currency screen
lavish vortex
Thanks
thin abyss
yeah I know it is subjective but looking at what others are doing will kinda give me an idea as to how they are approaching it
slate arrow
Personally, I use 1234qerfzxcv, with Shift and Control as modifiers.
I'd send a screenshot but I'm currently unsubbed, haha.
wispy shard
Same as Indy here. I use QERF for my combos, and 1-5 for cooldowns.
wispy shard
ZXC I set for role abilities, with C always being the stun.
thin abyss
The game has builtin macros? isn't there a way to make the combos run easily that way?
slate arrow
macros suck
thin abyss
is that even designed for that reason?
slate arrow
tl;dr you can't macro on the GCD, and they're intentionally neutered because they don't want you to one button everything
thin abyss
sorry what is GCD
slate arrow
Global Cooldown
junior yacht
the buttons that all go on cooldown at the same time
slate arrow
basically the timer which triggers on your weaponskills when you press one of them
patent citrus
my new hotbar, how come i can't find my company chocobo ride anymore?
zinc orbitBOT
thin abyss
my goodness. there is sooo much to learn
slate arrow
@patent citrus Character > Mount Guide
patent citrus
I'm still figuring out the keybind lol, i think im gonna change the whole setup completely
slate arrow
you dont
wispy shard
Just take it a bit at a time, Waly.
@patent citrus Character -> Mount Guide. You can drag it from there.
patent citrus
gosh i just found the recommended gear button
has been upgrading my gear manually
-_-
thin abyss
so I don't reach there which means I use my mouse and click on those buttons which means I should put buffs there that are on long cooldowns
wait? where is the recommended gear button
hasty spade
How is Hunting Log for getting some quick levels? I'm at 47, trying to get to 49.
slate arrow
not very good past 20
patent citrus
lol
thin abyss
ohhh shit
I just saw it
so it looks at my current equipped vs what I have in my inventory?
patent citrus
yeah
slate arrow
in your armory chest, specifically.
thin abyss
ok that is sooo cool. I have been doing it manually as well lol
wispy shard
It’s not going to look in your inventory, FYI
So make sure you equip a piece of gear before clicking Recommended
hasty spade
How should I grind up? I'm playing SMN
wintry chasm
Be mindful that as a tank it can sometimes want to put DPS gear on your before you hit level 50 @thin abyss
Recommended gear is still good but do just double check what it is putting on you
thin abyss
ok
wispy shard
Do the Leveling Dungeon roulette, Fury
Could also possibly switch to SCH and heal for some faster queues to 49
wintry chasm
Is this your first job Fury?
mossy current
If that's done, do your highest level leveling dungeon
They're stuck on the level 46-49 jump in MSQ
wintry chasm
I see
Then yeah PotD or do highest level dungeon spam as Scholar (healer queues are faster) AFTER roulettes
mossy current
PvP Roulette is a huge chunk at Lower levels
silver mountain
Hello all, I've unlocked and completed The Twinning, Akadaemia Anyder, and The Grand Cosmos but the expert roulette still doesn't get unlocked. Any ideas?
strange coral
You need Anamnesis Anyder which comes from the MSQ and is separate from Akadaemia Anyder

Oh I see. I need to progress further then thank you

Hello guys. I could need some help.
A friend of mine got FF14 Steam version. Now he want's to switch to the PC version.
In the mogry station he saw that is account type is "Standard (Steam)".
If he buys the PC version (complete bundle), can he still play his chars on the PC version or does he need to make a new account?
hardy lichen
i set up my one time password and now i cant log in the mog station, help :C
mossy current
Sorry to say, but once his account is on steam, you cannot swap
thick elk
So he definitly needs to create an new account?
slate arrow
@thick elk He cannot swap between Steam and PC once linking steam in any form or fashion
yes
thick elk
Even Support can't switch it, correct?
slate arrow
yes
thick elk
Okay. Thanks a lot. 
❤️
patent citrus
hmm but he can still login his character from the pc version no
it's just that he can't upgrade it if he doesn't buy the newer version from steam
maybe the case is different here since i'm still free trial
slate arrow
You can't log in to the steam client with a PC account and vice versa
patent citrus
yeah after checking the price, i probably stay on steam
nova umbra
why isn't this working 😦
patent citrus
the official price discounted is more expensive than my steam price, wtf 🤦♂️
i'm not sure how it works
slate arrow
Vista sometimes have other prompts or it might be the wrong time/weather
try /pray or something else
nova umbra
oh /pray worked!
burnt wraith
What does this mean?
twilit arch
it means you cannot earn any more exp
burnt wraith
Why is that
twilit arch
you need shadowbringers expansion registered to your account
slate arrow
You'll need to buy shadowbringers
burnt wraith
I do have it tho
twilit arch
you didn't register it then
slate arrow
Did you buy it and redeem the key on Mogstation?
raw zodiac
I went steam because im lazy and using linux
burnt wraith
I bought it on steam since I downloaded the game from steam
raw zodiac
I dont feel like using wine
open coral
You still need to redeem the key on the Mogstation
burnt wraith
And it says it automatically downloads
raw zodiac
that and my wallet had $20 in it
open coral
Even if you bought the game on Steam
twilit arch
then go into your library and find the cd key section
apply the key to your mogstation
burnt wraith
I never got a key tho...
slate arrow
all steam games automatically come with a unique CD key
raw zodiac
Thats kinda funny honestly
patent citrus
cheaper from steam 🙄
slate arrow
local pricing is very good
vagrant copper
Can be good at least
patent citrus
maybe i have to compare it when official pc store is discounted
raw zodiac
I just like having my games in 1 spot also
I can download steam on any pc and have my entire library all in 1 spot
slate arrow
you can't directly download the whole game from steam
since steam only launches the launcher which you then use that to download the game
raw zodiac
yea but you can the launcher which just makes it easier when im using a different pc
I know you can add non steam games
Its not much of a difference for most, but I just like seeing it all in 1 place
patent citrus
ah yeah that's pretty nice
raw zodiac
That and others can see how much of a life I dont have
So Dank what data center you on?
patent citrus

sooo is there like skill queue in this game. Like I could press Q > E after each other and the skills would be queued?
junior yacht
whatever they are they're cute 
patent citrus
waitt, i'm just newbie
vagrant copper
Waly, not a queue but you can press a button like 0.7 seconds early to buffer an action (if you're waiting for cooldown or something)
patent citrus
wait for more answer from other people
lean quest
@slate arrow hey there again! I submitted a request to them that day itself to ask whether to was possible to me just buy it off store, its been 48ish hours now already havent gotten a reply yet, how long does it usually take?
slate arrow
@lean quest absolutely no clue due to COVID
lean quest
true actually is why I was wondering
also the weird issue is it keeps saying my password is wrong when it isnt
when I even ask to reset pass no mail was sent to me
wintry chasm
@thin abyss Yeah I think the queue is like, a second before it can actually go off
(I just realised that already got answered 😦)
thin abyss
yeah I am trying to learn more about the game
so my issue right now is that I am kiting and holding D while button smashing my other abilities lmao and it is a pain to get them in proper order

sharp jackal
oh well looks like ill have a day of reseted when i get back on

Which gunbreaker weapon?
sick zenith
So i just learned that the battlemage robe i started grinding for gets reskinned at level 50
wintry chasm
the one you start with?

As a craftable
lament geyser
Yea

I might just wait for that instead
lament geyser
I can't use gunbreaker atm cause I don't have a weapon for it haha

Oh Marketboard, I forgot about those (haven't used one) until now
wispy shard
I believe you can also get some specific class-only gear back from the Calamity Salvager.
patent citrus
why my tank stance often turned off when i enter dungeon?
is there any way to prevent this from happening?
patent citrus
ok
sick zenith
How do you get an apartment and is it worth it
strange coral
500000 gil. Worth depends on what you want from it
wispy shard
500k Gil, level 50, and a certain rank in your grand company for the relevant area.
sick zenith
Daaaamn
wispy shard
You don’t get anything special except an interior space to decorate. For me, it was worth it. It might not be for you!
stiff cosmos
This might sound stupid but I cant figure out how to get to Airship Landing to speak to NPC
wispy shard
Which city?
mystic veldt
What city
strange coral
You get stable access though, which is nice if you don't have an FC house with one
sick zenith
Any utility? Like marketboard access or storage?
patent citrus
for me that just unlock another game if it allows you to decorate the space 🤣
wispy shard
The apartment will have marketboard directly outside.
sick zenith
Thats pretty cool
wispy shard
Oh, stairs to the left of Lady Miounne
sick zenith
So its a good place to vibe and craft
