NPCs keep on saying the Calamity years ago like is it the one from the opening cutscene, if not, is there some kind of book or series I need to see before setting out in the story of FFXIV?
remote lintel
no it's the one from the opening cutscene
wind kindle
Or things will make more sense the more I delve into the storyline?
static yacht
if you want you can watch vods on youtube but it really isn't necessary
vagrant copper
They'll definitely hit the high points for you at some point
remote lintel
they tell you things about the calamity throughout the story but you don't need to know what happened before the calamity
you just need to know it happened
twilit arch
1.0's story really isn't necessary to understand 2.0
wind kindle
Understood. Thank you! I just thought I'll be missing out alot of parts of the puzzle in the long run.
twilit arch
nah

Do all the astrologian cards do the same thing? They all read as a dmg increase to me
languid zinc
So guys...
I used "Search for item" function on market board and there is green checked mark on Glamour Dressers, mean i have such thing in glam dresser?
But i don't see it in glam dresser?
twilit arch
yes, they all increase dmg, but 3 cards give more to melee jobs, 3 give more to ranged @trail current
trail current
alrighty

also the cards have different symbols
depending on which ones you have your raid wide aoe buff will be stronger

do people still run binding coil normal? I've been waiting 30-40 mins ;_;
twilit arch
not thru duty finder
binding coil doesn't really have a normal mode, its considered savage
sick knot
oh rip
twilit arch
so if you want to run it, you should put up a party finder group
and ideally do it unsync because most people aren't gonna run it sync

Hey guys
Im doing the Heavensward leve Dance magic dance to look for coffers with amber for anima weps
But I dont find any coffer in the green circles?
twilit arch
then you've just been getting unlucky
the coffers are random chance to spawn, they're not assured
twilit arch
usually, i also changed I believe its the "Objects" text colour to something bright so it would be even more obvious
you can change it in Character config > display name settings > npc
leaden ginkgo
Ok thank u
I just did it once atm
And search in every corner
U dont need to kill enemies right?
twilit arch
nope, dont need to kill the enemies

New player. Are there Any Mog station items that increases mount speed.
OR Any mount that cam be bought.
I have yet to the msq for mount, Will do that in the weekend
Any items that are functional?
teal pulsar
is there some hidden requirement for password when registering?I'm trying different passwords but none seems to work
twilit arch
Nothing that increases mount speed, and you have to get your chocobo first before you can use any other mount
leaden ginkgo
@void crest yes
teal pulsar
it tells me only specific symbols can be used but i am not using different ones ffs
twilit arch
so buying a mount from mogstation is moot
faint flare
SDS fenrir has a speed increase before you get the mount speed upgrade for that zone
But once you do its as fast as other mounts

I Will keep doing story. But was looking YT video's cannot seen to get Amy best-buy guides 😅
E.g. quickest mount etc.
rough lance
thanks
twilit arch
the only mount that has different speed is the SSD fenrir that comes with the first tier of movement speed unlocked, but that becomes moot once you've unlocked that tier via the main scenario quest
void crest
I see. Thanks. "Feelin slowpoke*
remote lintel
yes
twilit arch
so ultimately, all mounts move at the same speed
remote lintel
the only mount that has increased speed is the motorcycle
but your other mounts will catch up

Yeah. One video mentioned the bike yea

If you bound your Steam to Square-Enix account, but you didn't actually make an account, and your Steam credentials won't work on Mog Station, how do you log in
Like say if your account's bound to a Square-Enix account through like Tomb Raider or something
remote lintel
pretty sure a ff14 account is different
I'm assuming tomb raider doesn't use mog station for whatever reason
granite root
Well it's still a Square-Enix account and Steam only links to one
leaden ginkgo
The coffers in the leves are found inside the green circles right?
faint flare
In the area yes
faint flare
Its rng
leaden ginkgo
Am I doign it right?
remote lintel
launching the game through steam brings up the ff14 launcher tho
which you would login with your ff14 account
leaden ginkgo
That the best way to get crystal sand for relics tho?
twilit arch
Not really, its a decent option if you don't have a crafter or gatherer leveled
little swift
blue scrip exchange via your yellow scrips
leaden ginkgo
Yh I don't
twilit arch
but its entirely dependent on rng favouring you
leaden ginkgo
i see
little swift
otherwise go for amber-encased vilekin if you ahve enough leve allowances
leaden ginkgo
It a good idea to accept all 3 leves located in 1 area tho?
little swift
super rng tho
leaden ginkgo
And search everywhere
leaden ginkgo
ok
little swift
you have to set it to a failstate first before it becomes usable for teh spam check
leaden ginkgo
whats failstate?
little swift
so you start the leve
then you abandon it
that sets the leve to a fail state
if you're doing this with other people it allows them to sync up with you
and find teh same chests
void crest
If I play on Spriggan, I choose chaos role?
little swift
if not thenyou just retry again and again
leaden ginkgo
Not sure if I understand correctly but
What Im doing now is
I start the leve, then search, then abandon
little swift
yes thats right
leaden ginkgo
And then go back to guy, accept leve again
vagrant copper
@void crest Spriggan is in the Chaso DC, yes
little swift
you can just retry from the quest journal

Is it a good idea to save the Leve Quests or the Hunting Board Quests until I try to level other classes?
little swift
levequests aren't particularly good exp
and each class has their own hunting log
so do those as they come up

I see. Understood, thanks.
little swift
let me rephrase my first bit, levequests aren't good for COMBAT classes
they're great for gatherers/crafters
wind kindle
I see. Thanks a lot, sirs/ma'ams.
teal pulsar
i'm sorry to ask again but i've tried 20 more passwords, no luck, i'm trying to register on the site for the free trial but it keeps refreshing the register page, with a red text near the password field telling me that only alphanumeric characters and the following symbols can be used, even though those are the only symbols i've used...
Is there some other hidden requirement other than the 4 listed below?
or maybe some sort of incompatibility with firefox, no clue
remote lintel
did you try on a different browser
vagrant copper
How long are the passwords you're trying? There may be an undocumented maximum length
little swift
no problem! i'm pretty sure its because the fate wasn't set to failstate before you retried
teal pulsar
doesn't work with edge either

Hey beatiful people 
this might be a weird question but,i can't use my FC's Aetherial wheel.I have "aetherial wheel use" on my rank but i still cannot pick and prime wheels while some members with higher ranks* (and different rank settings i suppose) can do it. Is aetherial wheel usage influenced by other settings as well ? 
(Asking this in case someone has already had this problem)
little swift
if you're unlucky you get 3 sands with every umbrite/sand combination
leaden ginkgo
thank u
faint flare
You basically ask yourself "do i have buff/dot up? If no then use it otherwise use the raw damage

All races with animals ears, like vieras or the cat people, does have 2 sets of ears? 4 in total.

they have 2 ears
remote lintel
like normal people?
mossy current
Usually a strap around the head
desert osprey
now I can rest in peace

if you mean glasses though then i have no idea
twilit arch
glasses dont require ears to be held up

Tangentially related, Au Ra don’t have animal ears or human ears. They hear with their horns.

nope
drifting burrow
wat
little swift
the 80 ones are yellow scrips
drifting burrow
O
little swift
the others are traded with yellow scrips into other scrips
gloomy ice
Anything that was previously purchased with red or blue scrips has been consolidated into yellow scrips
blissful matrix
scripts to buy tokens, tokens to buy folklore
twilit arch
yes
drifting burrow
how many are needed to buy a folklore
little swift
these are the others
twilit arch
botanical folklore = botanist, geological folklore = miner
little swift
in the 50 and 61 tabs respectively
gloomy ice
HW folklore books cost 5 Blue Tokens each. At 25 yellow scrips per token, it's 125 scrips per book.
little swift
5 blue gatherers scrip tokens per HW book
50 rowenas tokens per SB book
5 scrips each for those
so 250 scrips a book if i did my math correctly
and finally for SHB
40 tokens needed
its 100 scrips per token
thats 4000 scrips
drifting burrow
that sounds very intimidating
gloomy ice
Yellow scrips are pretty easy to come by with collectibles. Once you start doing your weekly custom deliveries, you'll overflow at least once every week.
clever cave
The shb folklore books are expensive but usually needed to gather the collectibles for white scrips
little swift
not entirely needed, lots of white scrip items aren't legendary node items
clever cave
O true, they just give more

Hi guys, im looking to get into the game and just downloaded the free trial (which i think goes up to level 35?) and i was just wondering if I could buy the complete edition from steam (because it would be cheaper for me than buying it from the square store), even though I got the launcher and free trial from xiv website?
lavish portal
should be ok
obsidian patio
Yes you can get the steam version with non-steam trial
But you’ll need to launch from steam
lavish portal
it would use your SQ/FF annount right
account
nothing tied to steam really
so it should be cool
remote lintel
it will be tied to steam once you buy it on steam
then you can't go back
so even if there was a sale on the SE store you can't buy it
crimson wind
Do I fight every primal through the HW story or are some side content? (Sephirot, Bismarck, etc.)

Do you have it unlocked

Then do that instant
Then go back again for Garuda hard
thin abyss
ohhh ok so I need to unlock it by doing the trial?
thin abyss
I went to the navel through duty finder and it wasn't the hard one

guys, I'm about to splash out, opinion needed - shaded spectacles or ministrels spectacles? Lol
shaded ones cost 75k more in my server lol can't decide which one looks better
leaden ginkgo
whats the cost?
next wind
200k for shaded 125k for ministrels
leaden ginkgo
bruh thats cheap just buy em both lol
zinc orbitBOT
next wind
yea but I need 1 only so asking which one is cooler looking lol
thin abyss
is there a website that shows me where to go to get the quests? I am struggling to find the quest for The Navel Hard and The howling Eye Hard. I did the other one but can't figure out where to go or how to find Adder's Nest?
next wind
thats shaded
leaden ginkgo
that hair tho haha
next wind
thats ministrels
lament wagon
that looks great lol
next wind
ik lol might need to change the hairstyle lol
leaden ginkgo
shaded I guess?
next wind
so nr1 or nr 2?
clever cave
second is cooler
next wind
trying to look dapper for my FC event tomorrow loool
so 1:1 lol I'm leaning towards nr 2 for my char
leaden ginkgo
they both look stylish, go for 2
nova umbra
is there a way to change the audio output without having to close and reopen the game entirely?
thin abyss
can someone help please. How do I go about and get the quest for the Howling eye Hard. It is supposed to be a trial but not sure where to find it
next wind
not sure what device you're using but when I plug in my headphones it changes automatically
thin abyss
It is supposed to be in Adder's Nest but where is that in this cluster fuck of a map
slate arrow
Adders nest is the same zone as the aetheryte
next wind
check here whats selected when you plug in
slate arrow
Just go west
nova umbra
hm.. that's weird, when I do that I just can't hear anything for the rest of the session
until I close the game and reopen it
thin abyss
What do you mean by Aetheryte?
next wind
it might be the computer thing not the game specifically make sure audio is routed to the right device
slate arrow
@nova umbra not really: the FFXIV driver for audio wasn't designed for swapping audio devices and they tried to patch that with ShB but it's a work in progress
next wind
do you hear youtube or similar when plugged in? is it only not working in the game?
slate arrow
@thin abyss the big crystal you warp to
nova umbra
yeah only not working in game
thin abyss
ok but in which zone?
next wind
hmmm not sure then
slate arrow
@thin abyss gridania
thin abyss
ok
slate arrow
@nova umbra it's a crapshoot if swapping audio works half the time. My only advice is to either install a third party driver which routes all audio to it (like dell Maxx audio/whatever they use instead of stock windows) or just not try to swap audio devices while playing
thin abyss
I am not finding the quest that would unlock the Howling Hard
slate arrow
@thin abyss waking sands > urianger
faint flare
It appears in the waking sands after clearing Bowl of Embers Hard
thin abyss
I was just in walking sands and I couldn't find any quests for that
faint flare
Clear bowl of Embers hard then
leaden ginkgo
waking sands 👀
faint flare
Actually run the thing you unlocked
wind kindle
@faint flare ser/ma'am, there are no other ways of using Gunblade but to run a tank class? The Gunblades here look really awesome, sadly I am not good with Tank Characters.
wind kindle
i see, thank you.
wind kindle
Might give it a chance when I'm done with Balthier and Summoner.
faint flare
You literally just put on tank stance, aoe stuff and rotate defensive cooldowns
If you do the 3rd thing you're automatically better than most
wind kindle
I see. Iguess I'll really have to give it a try for the sake of my childhood having ff8 as my first FF. gotta have to. Thank you, ser/ma'am.
thin abyss
I have to say the way they have done the map is annoying as hell. And they simply ask you that you need to complete these dungeons in hard mode without telling you how to get them in hard mode. I don't have to google to find that out. There should be a way in game for me to figure it out.
wind kindle
Maybe I'm just afraid to f*ck up not getting aggros.
faint flare
Aggro is a complete nin issur
As long as you hit the thing
You'll have aggro for years
Provide your tank stance is on
leaden ginkgo
how is tank easier then dps
faint flare
You can literally afk after hitting the mobs a few times and still keep it
leaden ginkgo
when tank is just dps with more stuff to do?
remote lintel
not really
faint flare
Tank rotations are simplier
And tank mechanics in general arent hard, just a matter of remembering when it happens
wind kindle
I see. I'll definitely do it after Summoner after all your encouragements.
faint flare
Example of this tier: Tanks basically do nothing outside of Tank swaps
Onlu real tank mechs are taking Tornados in Conflag strike in 6s and the OT kiting the birb in 5s
And being in position for knockback mirrors on 8s i guess if you add that on top
It mostly comes down to remembering when busters come so you can plan your cooldown rotation, which comes with practice
wind kindle
I don't know those skills/terms yet, still thank you. I'll keep those in mind.
faint flare
Once you've done stuff enough times, muscle memory takes over and you go on autopilot
leaden ginkgo
youre just saying tank is easy cause you want people to play tank for shorter queues lol
warped nest
To be honest, tank is not that hard to play
warped nest
Dragging mobs in dungeons might sometimes be harder than dealing with bosses
faint flare
^ tfw trash is the hardest tank mechanic
Petition to remain Trash to something more fitting
leaden ginkgo
nah theyve always been called trash mobs
or are we not allowed to call things trash anymore? lol
little swift
lime sphinx
so i just unlocked restoration
and idk what to do, enter the work with skybuilder board event thing ?
little swift
so if you've already gone around to talk to the npcs
you can see that there's one where you can turn in crafted items
and one that lets you enter Diadem
Diadem is for gatherers to gather materials used int eh restoration items that crafters make
and crafters and turn in those items for stamps on a stamp card
that lets you try to win rewards
all of this gives you skybuilder's scrips that can be exchanged for other rewards
gaunt brook
tank
remote lintel
the skybuilder board only tells how much progress the server has made
you don't enter anything with it
wind kindle
@little swift , @remote lintel , @faint flare should I get these Quests with Blue Exclamation marks with Plus Signs? Or nah?
remote lintel
the blue quests yes
warped nest
it depends on what kind of 
wind kindle
That kind but blue
forest lark
So i just bought qhm boost this time, last time I did scholar
warped nest
if it is the one that lets you unlock new classes, then you can skip those if you don't want to
for other you want to do them all
forest lark
Now it wont let ne use it cause i cant carry more than few scavean
little swift
and the "leves of Y" are optional as well
forest lark
Do I just diacard the ones in inv
remote lintel
@forest lark they use the same gear so just discard the chest if you want
wind kindle
No not those, cause I just finished talking to the three leaders and I'm at the Tavern in the Drowned Wench and two NPCs has blue exclamation marks with plus sign.
warped nest
it is line of sight
remote lintel
@wind kindle if it's not a class quest then yes do it
wind kindle
Alright, thanks!
forest lark
Oh it works now that I discarded previous obes
gaunt brook
its just apain since he ran behind a root
warped nest
augmented scaevan is fine to keep
warped nest
plain scaevan isn't
warped nest
do you get coffer from boost?
next wind
is it possible to setup glamour plate without the item? For example plate 1 just the coat and plate 2 full set, when I change to plate 1 - it changes the armour but keeps the pants and boots from the plate 2
warped nest
i though it just equipped your job
next wind
or I must dispel it each time before I change plate to make it not show from the previous set?
warped nest
only if your glamour plate 1 doesn't have anything on the pants and boots
warped nest
so yes
next wind
yea plate 1 doesn't have anything on pants and boots but when I switch between plate 2 which has and back to plate 1 - it keeps the glamour from plate 2 in the emtpy slots :/
remote lintel
because there's nothing there
lime sphinx
How do i enter the place to gather mats for ishgard?
warped nest
doesn't work that way
lime sphinx
oh kk thx
autumn lodge
Hey does anyone know what armor this is, sorry for the blurry image i couldnt find a better one
remote lintel
that sounds like a nsfw username
obsidian patio
Looks like the Genta/Genji set from the first tier of Omega, Deltascape
autumn lodge
Ohhh its from omega, thank you so much
remote lintel
for lvl 80 roulettes do you get the poetics from the roulette as well as the dungeon?
forest lark
Idk but moving from scholar to whm is kind of difficult lol
Whm has so manybhealing abilities
I dont even know what to use first lmao
Ans ohbgod the mp cost is crazy
warped nest
Spell:
Regen: i need to heal someone, but i don't need to do a big chunk right away
Cure 1: i need to heal someone in a big chunk
Cure 2: i need to heal someone in a even bigger chunk
Medica: i need to heal a big region in a big chunk
Medica II: i need to heal a big region, but i don't need to do a big chunk right away
Cure 3: i need to heal a very close group in a big chunk
Afflactus Solace: kinda like Cure II
Afflactus Rapture: kinda like Cure III or Medica
forest lark
So cure 3 heala more than 1 person?
twilit arch
yes
its an area of effect cure centered around the target of your choice
where as medica/2 are centered around you
warped nest
Ability:
Benediction: i need to heal ALL health for this one player
Asylum: basically like Medica II
Tetragrammation: basically like cure II
not an inclusive list, but enough to get you started
twilit arch
solus and rapture are not abilies
forest lark
Well thank you
little swift
solace and rapture are on the GCD
little swift
plenary indulgence: i use an aoe heal and it gives me a little bonus heal
lime sphinx
can we sell items obtained in the diadem ?
gentle leaf
did anyone else get performace issues since 5.2?
forest lark
Yes me
drifting burrow
what class weapons are made by carpenters?
forest lark
But im on ps4 and itsblaggier than usually
little swift
@lime sphinx approve them with the npc next to the npc you enter with on diadem
and then you can sell them on market
little swift
@drifting burrow saw and hammer
warped nest
for DoW/M, @drifting burrow , usually Bard and Dragoon, but it is not exclusive
gentle leaf
and it dropped from 90 fps to like 40
drifting burrow
:o
gentle leaf
since 5.2 lol
drifting burrow
oki thank u
gentle leaf
driving me nuts
little swift
saw and claw hammer are their main/offhands
they make bows/spears and some random stuff
furniture

warped nest
@forest lark for future reference, if you boost a job or get a high level expansion jobs
- Find a striking dummy lower level than you, or same level as you
- remove all skills
- add skills back one by one as you use them on yourself or on the striking dummy, read tooltip as you do it
this "simulate" leveling it from scratch
not a perfect simulation, but it should help you organize your hotbar and understand roughly what skills does what
forest lark
Ikr thatsbwhatbI intend to cause my hotbar is a mess rn
warped nest
the default adds them in chronological order you learn them
which is definitely not how you want it
unless you are a mad player
quiet oracle
I just bought and registered the expansion, but it says I don’t have active subscription
Doesn’t it include one month game time?
quiet oracle
Oh bummers
warped nest
only Starter Edition has it
Complete Edition has it only because it include starter edition
zinc orbitBOT
quiet oracle
Ahh ok. Yes I am a returning player who only needed the expansion
Ok that makes sense. I wasn’t sure if I missed a step and missed out on free game time 😄
warped nest
it is a campaign to entice players to come back. it happens to be conveniently long enough for people to do quick catch up if they have stopped for a patch or two.
it is not for people to do whole expansions with it
the campaign has ended afaict
raven sage
It ends on the 17th
warped nest
oh, there you go
quiet oracle
Yesterday was my last free login day
Then I predictably returned

Hey, just joined here. I'd like to put together a group of Blue Mages to collect spells from dungeons, trials etc. Is there a channel for party recruiting?
jade quartz
#recruitment-aether but really you should use the party finder.
wicked ingot
I'm levelling my first alt job, is Palace of the Dead the best place to go now that I've gotten to level 16?
lime sphinx
are nodes in the diadem all random ? i cant find electrum ore
tiny jetty
Aight, thanks Lyon.
lime sphinx
okok, but i've been mining 50 mins without finding electrum tho lol
warped nest
- daily roulette: leveling, msq, alliance are best (msq/alliance do take a lot of time), trial/raid are decent
- dungeon: highest level dungeon, but not level 50/60/70 dungeons
- potd/hoh only if 1 or 2 has way worse queue time (like 15 minutes worse)
@wicked ingot
karmic crow
They're all in the same relative area, myst, but yes they jump around in like a small circle
wicked ingot
@warped nest awesome, thanks 🙂
lime sphinx
cause i been trying to mine all around
warped nest
@wicked ingot made some edit, read it again, have fun with leveling
karmic crow
When I hop on I usually just go in a line through all of the islands hitting every spot that appears on one island then hop to the next
wicked ingot
thanks, I needed a break, it's fun to get super fast levels with all the buffs you get to lower level jobs
clever cave
i may be wrong but @lime sphinx you can only collect the mats for restoration 2 in diadem
summer haven
Are fishing baits/lures tied to level? Meaning, can I replace a bait with an equal or higher lure and catch that fish?
slate arrow
yes, but no
since the versatile lure exists if you're too lazy to do research the versatile lure will let you catch all the fish in the game
lime sphinx
i may be wrong but @lime sphinx you can only collect the mats for restoration 2 in diadem
@clever cave would make alot of sense
slate arrow
but using bait will make it easier to target or focus specific fish
clever cave
yea like you cant gather the restoration 1 mats anymore
clever cave
there are lower lvl crafts with the grade 2 mats tho so youre good
lime sphinx
yea im almost each crafter so i'm gucci
summer haven
I assume the versatile lure is above the lvl 37 fisher I am. i'm just trying to catch some quest fish while queued for dungeons. So it's still better to use the bait?
twilit arch
versatile lure can be used by a lv1 fisher
slate arrow
versatile lure is a level 1 lure
twilit arch
if you're just going for any ol' fish, then its perfectly fine to use
clever cave
higher lvl fish will need higher lvl lures
slate arrow
the versatile lure is the exception
summer haven
oh. shop supplier wasn't selling it, figured i just couldn't buy it yet.
but yea, it's a specific fish, so i'll use its specific bait
slate arrow
oh you need to buy the versatile lure from the ocean fishing vendor
clever cave
some places that have a fish youre hunting have the bait you need at a local general merchant
white belfry
Hello everyone i just started crafting (cul and alc) in ffxiv and I noticed ppl selling levekit over party finder and I wondered if it's possible to buy class quest items on party finder? If so what price should I expect to buy if I'm going to make commission? (500k gil?)
slate arrow
quest items you can generally find on the marketboard
not many people really do quest kits
twilit arch
versatile lure can be bought buy the merchant and mendor down by the ocean fish boat or on the ocean fishing boat
leaden ginkgo
is there a level 80 job armor set?
twilit arch
yes
faint flare
Yes
faint flare
Grendolnt give it to you after doing the lv80 role quest
warped nest
he is south of the Tempest aetheryte point
clever cave
what ilvl is that one?
warped nest
430
leaden ginkgo
i see alright, thanks i appreciate it
clever cave
nice
leaden ginkgo
sweet
young fjord
430 is the start, you get 440 and 450 from dungeon drops
460 you buy with farmable tomes/raids
470 is upgraded raid gear iirc
mossy current
445 and 455 from dungeons, enough to do Eden normal for gear
warped nest
you ain't wrong about 460, it is the easiest to farm/get after 5.0 story completion
mossy current
It might also be better to farm the copied Factory for gear and tomes
leaden ginkgo
oh and how much does it cost material wise to make augmented armor for jobs, the one u can dye?
gil wise w/e
warped nest
i assume we are talking about the 430 job gear?
lime sphinx
so theres really no market board in the ishard restoration ?
placid tusk
if someone uses a story skip is there a way to undo it?
mossy current
Not in the firmament
warped nest
start a new character

ah kk

Just finished my first dungeon- Sastasha? So technically, the rewards from drop are rolled by chance by everyone in the party? Pressing the "Greed" button, yes? I got something with a PInk Name but it is a book and I'm an Archer, so just sell it, yes?
