OH
That gate does stay closed
I see
But there is an npc
another question, is it enough to purchase the starter edition?
that was confusing
for all other classes etc
That can port you to the other side
Level sync'd
ok
for all other classes etc
@arctic oriole no starter is only the base game arr so it doesn't unlock ast, drk, mch, sam , rdm, dnc and gnb
for these you need the expansion also

Is there any website to dress characters?
FFXIV Web Model Viewer
I wanna do a little bit of work on crafting on the side without too much time sank into it so I can focus on questing
Does it make sense that I've been doing Ixali quests + buying items from vendors for GC turnins each day?
Yeah they’re pretty good experience, especially the grand company turn-ins
Sometimes the GC can get you like 3-4 levels from a single turn-in if it’s starred and you turn in HQ
Yeah if nothing else, it's goddamn satisfying to level up one after the other as I turn all the items in lmao
also if possible try to turn in hq items it doubles the exp you get
Because I only really buy the turnin items for GC, it's standard quality
I do actually craft either the ALC or CUL items though, if I'm in the mood
Good thing about CUL crafting is that you can turn one in and sell the other two
Do we know how many stages ishgard restoration is going to be? Do we have an idea which patch will finish the area? My current world is on 7th stage. Asking because I wanna get all crafts to 80, but want to be as lazy as possible.
Not that I've seen, cause CUL crafts give three but then the turnin requires three too
But I'm only lv36 CUL rn
Restoration goes away?
When it's done being restored I guess 🤷♂️
When in MSQ do I unlock VPose?
a little while after you get to ishgard
Oh so I should have it now?
is there an option to make it stop from closing everything when I use a summoning bell?
kinda annoying..
Oh
oh right
Yeah 3.2
Hello downloading the game via launcher is so slow any way to solve it ?
Get better internet
get google fiber 😛
I can download anything at 7 mb/s but in launcher it is stuck at 1.8 mb/s
anything I should know before Thordan?
Hug the walls to avoid a majority of traps
And if possible try to fight all monsters in hallways
Shoul I buy the "Neo-isgardian" full set from the market? would cost me like 500k. Im using a random lv 78 set
Nothing really, woltrapz.
yes felix
Normal mode has a lot of stuff but nothing that needs specific attention
you can grind gear in raids
the MSQ doesnt give better gear than neo ishgardian?
i mean im only like 412, i might be undergeared for raids right?
Patch story for current expansion doesn’t give gear until the next expansion comes out.
Did you get the i430 gear from Grenoldt in the tempest?
get to ilvl 425 then work your way up
the first set of raids gives 460 gear
the second set gives 480
Do it, it’s a free set of gear.
📝
I should also start selling stuff at the market
i dont even have retainers
so my endgame goal should be focusing on the poetics from certain raids right? (which ones should those be anyway? 490+)
yes
how long is the time interval between the Pazuzu and/or Fafnir FATEs?
you can join the first set of raids with ilvl 425
@onyx kiln all NMs have a 2 hour spawn timer IIRC
not the channel for that
which would be that
probably #general-discussion
kk ill take it off
Hey @remote lintel can I pet you? I tried #general-discussion and #not-ffxiv-discussion but no luck
...
good luck becoming a moderator like that
How do I change what rank a new member is when they come into an FC? For some reason they get assigned the 6th rank automatically instead of the 8th rank
According to this (https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/0aef429df390927c8e04d9e6bfb1046155e63703), the same rank is always the new member one. So if you want to make the "8th rank" the default one, you'd have to rename the "6th rank" to the "8th rank" and vice versa
What if I change it's name completely?
Where in the menus do I go to change keybinds?(PC)
ESC > Keybinds works
thanks @vagrant copper
So I can have a maximum of 6 ranks basically?

Not sure how you determined that. It sounds like you just need to shuffle them around. Though I haven't messed with FC stuff so 🤷♂️
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Free_Company#Member_Ranks
Restriction: A Free Company may only have up to 15 ranks.
All players who join or form a Free Company are given a rank. The initial ranks upon forming a Free Company are Master, Officer and Member. The Master of the Free Company or a rank with appropriate permissions may create more ranks as well as change the permissions for each one. New members are automatically assigned to the rank of Member. This can not be changed, and will always represent the 'starter' rank for new members and can be renamed accordingly.
Ok thanks, I switched around the rankings and made the member one at the bottom
It seems you can't delete three of the ranks
How long should 3.x take?
A lot shorter than ARR patch quests, but it has more cutscenes
It’s only around 40 quests or so
I'll give it 2-3 days max

How do I augment my artifact armor?
which set
Chaos
buy illumtinati gobtwine with centurio seals in ishgard, then talk to seika in idyllshire to augment it
Guys anyone know how to make the samurai 3 symbol thing smaller on PS4
Thanks
Anyone know how to make this smaller?
Hud settings
Hud settings and at the bottom is your job gauge stuff
Like hud layout?
Ah thank God
Cheers guys
It was driving me crazy
Everything seems harder on PS4
quick question, a Tidus look-like guy just gift me 1,000,000 gil, i was leaving market area in uld'ha
it's a normal thig
or what
you must be an extremely lucky guy
Sometimes people would randomly gift things
It’s atypical but it can happen. There is also a Tidus outfit in mog station as well.
I for one would randomly gift gathering quest items to gatherers doing quest
wow, im a new player lvl28 it's a huge thing for me i guess
What do I do with antiquity gear
Eden
Exchange them in Eulmore or Mord Souq for i450/480 gear
The item description tells you how many of each piece you need to get the gear too
Eden gate stuff for 450, Eden Verse for 480
Oh it’s appraisal gear?
Simple token exchange. But they just made each token shaped like the thing they’re supposed to be this time. They used to be random engine components.
I remember people making ‘people’ out of the Alexander tokens with the parts matching the equipment they were for
Wish I had an image of it
Note. Eden Gate drops are unlocked and you can grab as many as you want but Eden Verse tokens are still weekly locked. One token per floor per week.
do beast tribe quests not reset on the weekend or something
my beast tribe daily allowance has been at 2 for 2 days now
Do you have beast tribe quests from the previous day still accepted
/\
You need to complete all beast tribe quests you have accepted to get more.
You cannot stock up beast tribe quests
do apartments ever get auto demolition if im gone like housing?
No, they're forever.
Guys whats the difference between like level 1 and 20 jewelry? I dont see anything different :/
the stats
Hey there! I’ve been perusing the #603040697884475393 channel but not seeing a lot of guild openings for behemoth. Does anyone know of guilds looking for people on behemoth ? 🙂 or perhaps there is an in game tool that would be easier to use
What would be the fastest way to lvl up from 50 to 60?
I have one grey

You say stats but theres like.. barely any difference between the bonuses and stuff?
do you have screenshots?
wrt the ishgard restoration, can i craft things to give to someone else for turn in?
the i level is different
It's got direct hit :^)
The "weathered" accessories were added later in the game's history
to help new players more easily meet early ilevel requirements and not be running around with no accessories.
have they gone out and said when they expect the Firmament to be finished?
wrt the ishgard restoration, can i craft things to give to someone else for turn in?
@fading snow collectables cannot be traded
ive never participated so i wasnt sure what exactly the restore entailed. thanks for the answer!
why don't people show up in player search?
They have to be online, on the same world you're currently on, and not be in a duty
Heyy @remote lintel
what
go to the airship landing?
did you unlock travel to gridania?
then why don't you do msq
You have to do msq though
Do the MSQ then.
You can't just magically unlock it
what quest are you on?
Follow ingame instructions
what city are you in
If you attuned to all the aetherytes you can just use that
You have already been to Gridania, and can teleport there.
@gleaming isle you can literally run to all of the different main cities, it just takes a while
Assuming you attuned to the aetherytes as you always should.
teleport back to limsa
it's really not
here's a rule of thumb....always tag the big Aetherythe crystals
The game has taught you how to do all these things.
^
Do not skip over stuff.
@gleaming isle Gridania is located in The Black Shroud, when you look at your map, you'll see names for pathways leading to other zones
Now, try opening your teleport menu.
you just need to find the right one that leads into the Shroud
@leaden ginkgo don't tell him to walk there
I did
I literally ran around and walked everywhere on foot
it took a while but it was simpler
That is not very useful advice.
if you say so
sure it is, it gives you an idea of what you're going to be facing
No it doesn't.
when you level up and hit those areas via MSQ
it's like "oh right this is where that was"
why walk when each city has an airship and you just click the city you want to go to
you need to head east
Magic have you unlocked the airship yet?
he has
MAgic, have you looked at your teleport list yet?
Rushing is getting you tangled up.
Please look at your teleport menu.
Click the teleport icon on your hotbar.
he's at limsa
not return
Teleport, not return
teleport
Dang
click travel > teleport
OK you've uh
Then you haven't attuned to anything
made this problem for yourself.
Whenver you see a big blue crystal, you right-click on it and attune.
you're in limsa right magic?
Always from now on.
Speak to the Lift Attendant there and go to the Airship Landing.
Mako
Instantly
Can you not say things like that
Some people do that
Then speak to the NPC behind the desk there and purchase passage to Gridania.
You have been given complete instructions Magic
you're in Grid now?
you did nothing wrong
it's easy to get confused with so many people talking
you ALWAYS need to attune to every blue crystal you see from now on
that lets you teleport
lord knows I've gotten angry as all heck before
Also please pay attention to what the game teaches you.
Magic are you familiar with the Aethernet in each city?
no, it doesn't automatically change your return point
the Aethernet is basically all the smaller blue crystals around a city
so you can jump around it easier
you attune to those the same way you do with the bigger ones
lmao
yes
sure
lmao
get all the buttplugs
are there any other bosses like the great gubal library (hard) boss? The mechanics there are so fun 😛
Lets you port around the city
Attune to all Aetherytes and Aethernet Shards you see.
@nova umbra which boss specifically?
When you enter a new settlement, the first thing you do should is attune to the Aetheryte.
whenever you see a big blue buttplug, you're going to want to click it
the final one where it creates those random floor things and you have to go to the right one to not get hit by the attacks
What’s the command to that guide for leveling 1 to 80 in 5 days
like, the one that leadens you to avoid the tornado attack
or you can do what I did....and take it as a challenge to run through all the higher level areas grabbing as many blue buttplugs without dying...
nice
Mechanics along those lines appear in a lot of content.
"Stand on x to avoid x attack" is a whole subcategory of fight mechanics.
the yorha raid is that perm content?
Yes
Yes
awesome..
understanding fight mechanics kind of...is harder than normal when all the spell effects on screen make it feel like I'm at EDC in Vegas while on acid
And 2 more nier raids coming
is the monster hunter one still there?
omg
Yes
how freaking awesome is that
purdy coo
Hey all. Say, isn't there a System or Character setting that allows you to turn down the effects of other players so the screen isn't so congested? I can't find that setting.
I thought it was...yeah, that. But all I see are Physic Movements.
character config>control settings>character
I'm assuming it was a ps4/pc conversion thing
strange that it's under control settings 
Since I don't even have graphics settings
There ya go! Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to put it there, but thanks!!
Thanks again!
do you get sacks of nuts for A and S ranks
do you get sacks of nuts for A and S ranks
@remote lintel yes.
40 I think for A ranks.
and for S?
I keep seeing comments (on YT, reddit, etc.) about people saying how crafters make a lot of money....what's the most efficient way that a crafter goes about making money?
Crafting and selling stuff
crafting the things in demand and selling them
100 nuts for S ranks
nice ty
Not right now no
depends on the armor
Here's a nifty site for hunts: https://ffxivhunt.com/
usually more lucrative at teh start of a raid tier
Is the Crystarium basically Babylon 4?
neo ishgardian still sells for a lot
The profit margin is small tho
can sell the mats needed for them for almost the same amount
But as states above , new raid tier = new crafted gear with very big profit because huge demand
They're the same
Location
Location and armor design?
glams
Well, another issue: anyone know why, after I set a shortcut (anyone for that matter) for the overlay, it's not staying after I leave that screen?
Shortcut meaning keybind?
Right. I set it to Shift+` (or something else) and it looks like it took. I leave that screen, come back, and it's gone!
Weird
Are you clicking the apply button at the bottom?
I looked for that...did I miss it? Let me check...
Alright, there's no Apply button! Whew!
Was that a typo or do you really not see an apply button?
Take screenshot
And how do I post it?
In the Discord Settings > Overlay, the first option is to set a keybind for it. There's no Apply button for any settings, however.
discord
how does one remove slots from hotbar
if its not working try running discord in admin
How about this Starkman... did you press the "stop recording" button?
guys anyone tried to make a similar look for 2b on char creation?
@subtle marten Character Configuration > Hotbar settings > Display > Hide unassigned slots
alright
no the faces and hair are pretty limited
Hey everyone, I'm a level 50 monk at level 41 item level and i need 42 item lvl for the next dungeon main story quest. ive already completed all the monk story quests up to 50. how can i get better gear at this point?
btw those 12 gods is there anything important to know? or just random
Random
So, here's a snap of the Overlay keybind setting. As I say, it takes but only until I leave the screen
When you set the key, do you click the stop recording button?
its saving fine for me

In any case, it's not really a FF14 question so maybe #not-ffxiv-discussion or #technology-discussion is a better place 🤷♂️
Yeah. And it looks like it's saved. But if I leave and come back, it be gone.
but maybe google it
Oh, okay. I'll relocate the chat. Thanks!
@fickle dragon buy better gear from the vendors in the main city-states
So what exactly is a fellowship
ok thank you
Oh
Bruh it's still 2am and I can't create a character on zodiark yet
I've been keeping an eye on the server all day
And right when I could create it
It said
Wait til 4 am
new characters cannot be made on this world at this time
I'm not gonna wait till 4am :///
Any reason for that specific server? Looks like Lich is open now
My friends are in there
Cant you still meet them and stuff as long as you're in the same data center?
@obsidian patio I looked at the merchants and none of the items they sell are upgrades
Why is it so restrictive between datacenters
They prob wanna be in the same fc and all
Well, you just gotta wait until more ppl log off
@fickle dragon and you’re wearing the i90 gear from the coffer the level 50 quest gave you?
yea im wearing the body i got
no, the lvl 50 quests gives you a chest armour and a coffer
open the coffer that's very likely in your inventory
Can you trade between different world as long as you're in same data center?
Yes
yes, just need to world visit
Can you add people as friends between data centers?
And whisper them?
In the same data center****
No
Same data centre yes
Yea the chest did it, thank you
is there any way for automatic walking?
R
There’s the auto-run command
thanks
Is this the right channel to ask for help with a dungeon?
as in, physically doing it
last thing, is there also a auto click command? like accepting quest dialog skipping etc
how?
Whats a good way to farm Fieldcraft Demimateria 3?
Is there a way to show items only wearable by my class/race? In the market board.
it should automatically only show equips your class can equip
Nope, it shows even ones that I can’t equip
Go to this tab and click on your class
and then for weapons just click at the top for your class
There's no way to limit to only race though, especially considering that only the starter gear is race specific
If I specify white mage from the drop-down list, does it also show items that all job can wear?
yes
Since I’m looking for glamour material, level 1 gear
Thank you, always ever helpful
if you want level 1 glamour, just filter to all
you can set it to serach for lvl 1 gear
@gaunt brook i did the artisan stuff from the GC
Hey I got question, I’m a lvl 53 dragoon rn but I really wanna play as a gunbreaker at 60. Should I wait till after I hit lvl 80 on dragoon tho ?
Yes, I did that
oh like
@errant notch whenever you want
Desynthed artisan gear?
Yep
oh that works then
if you want to play gunbreaker play gunbreaker
ill have to farm guild seals though
im annoyed that yo ucant buy the stuff fofr blacksmith 2 and armourer 2 off the marketboard
@remote lintel yeah I just wasn’t sure if it’d be a waste of time to just drop dragoon
you can always switch back to it
Id personally reccomend finishing as Dragoon
then going back and doing gunbreaker
just because the MSQ Exp really helps level dps when you cant queue for dungeons as fast as tank can
@gaunt brook yeah you right, I’m struggling to find a party to do my relic weapon quest
IDK if this is true at higher levels but it seems to me like Summoner is really good at being self-sustaining for solo cause DPS and self-healing
As in the level 50 relic weapon?
any class can solo the story
All classes can solo just fine
because if so just wait until you hit 80 instead
its only used as a glamour right now, so just hit 80 and unsync for the Relic dungeons
Does crafting higher level gear (e.g., 80) give you more FC credits than lower level gear (e.g., 50)?
yeah dont worry, your gear gets better as you continue through the msq
the relic weapons are old content and even the highest one doesnt beat a level 60 equip in any department
Urgh so kinda getting bored of soloing stuff when i dont have any sidequests from 64-70
the lower level relic weapons arent useful
Well that’s kinda shitty, still want it for screenshot purposes tho haha
Buy ironworks gear with poetics in mor dhona
yeah no id suggest just waiting
go through msq for now and then you can easily solo hydra
Word that’s basically what I was doing atm, I finished ARR MSQ and was wondering when I’d start to get good loot
yeah
theres things you can get called Coffers
which just give you full equips of whatever level the coffer is
Yeah so I’ll just keep finding msq then hopefully hit 80 soon so I can alt gunbreaker
Anyone else stuck on the "Connecting to data center." for the Log In Screen?
Grinding*
How do I get to the Parrock in the Sea of Clouds?
or unlock it as the signs is not interactive
you need to unlock the shadows of mhach raid series. its the 24man alliance raid for heavensward, starting quest is "Sky pirates" in ishgard
Ok I'm going to sleep since zodiark has been congested all day and can't create a character in there to play with my friends 😐
how do you pronounce this name: X'rhun
zuh roon
on my mother tongue there is no way to read it :_(
Square Enix could lift restrictions between home worlds ore just place you in a queue like when you log in
but like fast
damn
so like zroon
anyone know of a good guide or video to follow when learning about crafting?
I feel like it's such a daunting task and would just like some direction 🙂
and I was thinking it was exrun
lmao
well finally I know how to call this badass gentlemen
yes
oh i thought samurai was Striking
that's their armour
ohhh accessories and armour are diff
though in ARR the accessories are split a bit weirdly
in that there's both maiming and striking, but hw+ its slaying for the melee except nin
thanks
damn game and being confusing
an unfortunate by-product of ARR where they were basically figuring things outs
Hi just curious just got to 80 but I have a friend who can craft me 480 gear. What weapon/armor set should I be focusing on after that?
HW streamlines a lot of thing
yes
Should I go straight for that or skip to Eden one?
whatever you prefer
the allegory gear (Crystarium) and eden verse savage (Edenchoir)
BiS is a mix of them both
yeah just check your BiS for your class
Ohh ok cool ty for the crystarium it can be upgraded right?
yes
yeah
atm the upgrades are currently only available from savage
Ahh ok ty so much 
so best be practicing your rotations so you can punk the raids
Yea I got the openers and rotations figured
If youre on PC try and download ACT if you havent already
Ooo I’ll check it out
It tracks dps for your party so you can see how you compare to the top players of your class for those dungeons, so you know if you need to finetune your rotations a bit
Ahh ok super convenient gonna check it out
For weapon I should just do the easy 485 resistance relic weapon until Eden right?
Keep that after it too, im pretty sure its the current BiS since you can meld it with 5 materia
ya
Just because while the edenchoir gear is stronger in its base form it only has 2 materia slots
no its not BiS
Ohh got you
but its very good weapon for now
Thank you so much guys
substats generally do not outweigh weapon dmg/mainstat
Coming from Korean MMOs I’m surprised how easy it is to catch up on here and how friendly the FF community is
And helpful

Ohh fair fair
unless you have a lot of the sub stat
i think ill still just stick with relic since
Its usually edenchoir > augmented tome > relic > base tome atm
Hoshikiri sounds a lot cooler than edenchoir samurai blade
Hello! I have just started to play FF14 and I have started the lancer class, I am kinda iffy on it and was looking at other options for a good starter class recommendations? Also! I only have the trial and am enjoying the game though Im flip floping back and forth and deciding to get it, should I just buy the starter and see if I wanna invest more into it or buy the full game plus dlcs? thank you!
pretty much any of the starting classes is fine
just go with one that looks the coolest/interesting to you
Maybe you dont like melee classes?
@stark leaf all classes start slow
not really but ok
early level archer is just heavy shot though
what happens if I switch to another class though? do they have seperate missions I will have to do or will it lvl up with me?
scroll lock or you can use /gpose
hi, i just set up this bot for me and other ffxiv members in my server. is there a way to change the prefix ! to something else? it's clashing with my other bot ^^;
each class has its own exp bar, so you'll have level it up from lv1 (for the starting classes, expansion jobs start higher)
there's a variety of ways to level up, if you've completed the main scenario quest. Fates, Hunting Log, Palace of the Dead, Dungeons, Beast tribe dailies
some of these things are not immediately available, ofc but as you get higher in level and in the main scenario quest, more things become available
rough general recommendation for leveling alt jobs is: 1-15, hunting logs, fates, palace of the dead. 15+:roulettes, highest level dungeon, palace of the dead/heaven on high
alright thank you very much!

<@&473626701947994134> Is there a way to change the prefix for the bot?
What prefix?
Hey, so I started leveling crafters with that huge crafting guide thats around online with like 300+pages, and I got to the point where my culinary is 37 and the rest are 15-20 and now i'm realizing the additional skills thing is gone and a lot of things changed apparently. The guide had suggested that I Get all crafters to Lv 15
Get Culinarian to Lv 37 for Steady Hand II
Get Carpenter to Lv 50 for Byregot’s Blessing
Get Weaver to Lv 50 for Careful Synthesis II
Get Alchemist to Lv 50 for Comfort Zone
Get all crafters to Lv 50
Get Culinarian to Lv 54 for Muscle Memory
Get Goldsmith to Lv 54 for Maker’s Mark
Do I still need to do things in that order? or does it not matter anymore
Crafters don’t have cross class skills anymore
So it no longer matters what order you level crafters?
Correct
Do I still level them simultaneously per the guides suggestion?
I’d do so, since it lets them share gear and make materials for each other
Alrighty, thanks
It doesn't matter which grand company you choose does it
Correct, the only difference is the look of the equipment and where they’re located
Lol OK thanks.
@brittle panther I don't think Kupo bot has a prefix changing function at this time
Eanae tells me it's on the long-term to-do list for features.
Talking about Kupo Bot. ^^; @jade quartz Okay. Thanks! I'll see if there's a way to change my other bot. ^^;
Okay. Thanks for the help. 🙂

Hi! I’m using the duty finder to do Bismarck in the Limitless Blue (Extreme) and it’s been 50 minutes already, does it usually take that long?
most people do not queue for EXs
practically unheard of to do Extremes via Duty Finder
especially not the old ones
You'll probably have better lucky making a party finder group and doing it unsync
Hmmm, I see... how do you usually do EXs then?
thru party finder
solo unsync or party finder unsync
You can do it solo?
If your level is considerably higher than the duty in question.
If you're level 60, you won't be soloing the Limitless Blue (Extreme).
if you were on primal I would help you
I’m level 62
Which more easier to level paladin from 60+ Gunbreaker or Paladin
I just did though, via duty finder, it went pretty well... , now I have to do Thok ast Thok EX
Can you guys help me with pary finder? Like, what is it, how do you do it etc?
In game?
yes
Found it... and it’s very well explained in game, so thanks!!! I’ll come back if more questions come up
Just note that the majority of people joining Party Finder groups for old content are looking for Unsynced parties
and you will need to make the party unsynced in Duty Finder in order for it to count
In objectives I have to check Duty Completion right?
Marking it unsynced in Party Finder merely means you're advertising the fact that you want an unsynced party
nope, that is not necessary
the Objective setting is just for show
the Conditions settings will enforce which people can or cannot join, so leave that set to None for sure
So, Unsynced party will give me more chance of finding a team faster?
it will
the rewards are the same if you do it unsynced, and it's much easier as higher level characters
How do I go about changing my characters race
buy a fantasia
And how do I make it unsynced?
Fantastia
How much are they
Undersized Party is the unsync setting
10 bucks
once i waited 60+ mins for an extreme. i went unsync with a group to rerun 12 runs in 10 minutes
and the game does give you one Fantasia for free, in a level 50 story quest
Undersized Party is the unsync setting
@proud willow like that?
The first hit is always free 
yes, that's the correct way to advertise that it's an unsynced party
you will also have to go into Duty Finder settings to actually make it unsynced though
Thanks!!
Would also be good to put "first time clear" or something to intice people
Gear symbol in the top left corner of Duty Finder
That one right? @proud willow
Yes
✅. And in you experience, do you think I’m gonna get enough people? Is people usually willing to help with that stuff?
yuel whats your homeworld
Adamantoise
its preferred rn yes?
Yeah
you can't transfer out of a preferred world for 90days after char creation
Okay guess im stickin to dancer since i love this class
where can i find my lodestone profile page?
Hi all, I just started a few days ago on ARR and i'm up to lvl 17 CNJ. I'm enjoying the game, should i install the expansions? If so which ones...the latest? or go in order? or should i just wait?
Shadowbringers includes all previous expansions.
As for when to install the expansion, there’s not much benefit before hitting level 50 unless you want to use a Fantasia (race change potion) to become one of the expansion races.
hey, how does the duty finder penalty work?

(if i miss a queue pop often)
If you miss three, you get locked out of DF completely for 30 minutes. If you continue to miss more after that, the penalties get longer until you're locked out for an entire day.
oo ok
@obsidian patio ty...is there any combinations of classes / jobs that allow you to have spells available from different ones....or are all of them seperate?
Cross class skills have been removed. All jobs/classes have their own kits.
All separate
Only gatherers borrow skills from each other, but even then it’s only skills that let you see their gathering nodes. (You still need to switch classes to gather them)
Thanks...so decide now to change to different job i guess
I'm on an alt on a dc far from my main, and I dont wanna re-level a crafter again, whats a good combat friendly way to earn money? Besides maps I dont really have much idea and direction on how to get some money on this monojob tank
U can have all jobs u rnt forced to stay dedicated to one job@lilac umbra
@true flower maps
Maps are pretty much your main method as a combat class
gotcha
You can also spend tomestones of Phantasmagoria on crafting materials
But fully up to rng how much gil tho
Sometimes good money to be had in farming mob mats when new crafting recipes come out as well
but you have to start quests again from beginning...
so might as well get a main right at the start?
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
Only the base game classes, expansion ones start at a higher level.
@obsidian patio good to know...ty
Dark Knight/Machinist/Astrologian start at 30, Red Mage/Samurai at 50, and Dancer/Gunbreaker at 60.

Is there much point to wait for housing? Trying to get an FC house and it’s proving difficult lol
Wondering if FC house stuff is so important or not
I stareted playing on the 4th of April
It’s now may 10th
So I can’t transfer till June?
it can be important, theres FC specific content in housing and i dont think you can do it before a house
How likely is it that more wards will come before Ishgard is complete? Has there been warning before previous house expansions or was it kind of out of the blue patches
Out of the blue
Hmm ok I’ll hope for that hehe
its still relatively recent that they added new wards
But i bet there will be ishgard housing next expansion
Next expansion is a year or so away?
Just about yes
sorry, i'm a noob. where can i find my lodestone id number?
@brittle panther in the URL for your character page
okay...so the number next to my url after i login?
^^;
found it
so...i should be able to type ! iam NAME # in my server, right?
okay, i got it!! Thank you!!!! 🙂
@leaden ginkgo Unless you use the graymarket to buy an existing FC with a house then realistically your odds aren't good for at least another 4-5 months when auto demolition for housing resumes
(which hasn't been confirmed but historically auto demo freezes last about 6 months)
Of course that doesn't apply if you move to a world like Spriggan that has abundant small houses available however I'm not aware of any NA worlds that are like that, just EU
I'm fairly sure all NA plots have been bought up since the housing expansion like a little less than a month ago now
Im on a Jp data center but thanks for the insight ! I guess I’ll stick it out? Don’t want to pay for another fc
I just wish devs would actually find and implement a solution
If ishgard housing isn’t a new system
Then I can see this issue being permanent lol
:’(
I mean technically the devs haven't confirmed it, some people are dreaming it'll be a housing zone where NPCs own all the other plots, but considering the map matches up exactly with the existing wards then yeah it's probably going to be more of the same
Might get lucky and they'll expand the apartment system at the same time they launch Ishgard with balconies/bigger rooms but dont get your hopes up
Even if they did expand apartments I would not expect them to include FCs
i'd take a bigger single room rather than a multi-floor weird housing plan
cant be having detailed answers 
the conversation was becoming less about answering the question
and more conversational
any tips or tricks for shadowbringer? say, efficiency or anything like that
MSQ mainly im just startingf
Remember to have fun and remember your role in multiplayer content, nothing different from past expansions
Hey guys. i made the purchase of the complete set! continuing my level 35 archer/bard
main thing to keep in mind is to do your role quests when you can do them
as the final one is going to be required eventually as part of the main scenario quest
i always do them as they come up the new spells are exciting!
they dont give spells in shb
oh!
when do i get a mount?
honestly there's no real point doing them before the end anyway, xp isn't particularly noteworthy
role quests take place of the job quests in shadowbringers, and as mentioned they don't give spells
whats the best mat to buy with poetic tomes for gil?
oh role quests!
Level 20 MSQ, right after you unlock your grand company @sonic leaf
Better to do them as they pop up then having to back track to get them done when you get blocked by msq
so its like, all DPS mashed together etc?
!faq poetics
@leaden ginkgo ^
@mossy current oh! i'm past that. where do i get it?
Do your grand company quests
role quests are broken down into Tank, Healer, Physical Range+ Melee, Caster
Disagree. All bar one just camp the Crystarium anyway so its hardly backtracking, makes for a more coherent story to knock em out in one blow
oh ok i'll try to find that. ive just been doing the MSQ
Or at least save them until you get MSQ level-blocked
am i likely to have to do side quests if i just gun for the MSQ and ignore side quests?
ofc pick up blues
like, level block
sorry im so bad at explaining things
Daily Roulettes and Best Tribes will help with any wall you might encounter
oh im unsure which tribes i have unlocked hehe
There is a beast tribe that unlocks after you defeat a certain boss in ShB
Which is great for leveling
oh nice!
im already 71 so thats kind of an advantage level wise
also, probably a super cliche question but how do i go about getting item level cheaply for non main jobs? I'm kinda trying to keep scholar and summoner similar item level so i can queue healer to get the pesky dungeon queues out the way
poetics or crafting
if you have crafters leveled getting leveling gear is relatively cheap
hehehe ive got mining at 20 and fishing at 16 i think
welp there goes that then
just use your poetics or
to get gear for your alternate jobs
experienced crafter, i do aim to do them i just wanted MSQ to be out the way
since you can get a full set of crafted gear every 2 levels per zone in the MSQ
*in shadowbringers
oh! so i could just get my summoner geared up then scholar after
and that allows me to focus on MSQ i guess
just use the sidequests to gear up one job and poetics for the other
ideally w/ poetics summoner since the ShB stat curve isn't too harsh
thats alright then if it isnt too harsh
oh it'll still kick your ass if you're not prepared
i noticed towards the end off SB it went from me being able to queue to being 40ilvl too low
were you fully geared with poetics
i had the armour on my summoner
normally if you have full right side augmented poetics then your job gear usually gets you over
my scholar was... lvl 60 gear i think
270, 260 or 240
uhhhhhhhh 1 sec
my scholar is full 290 + accesories around 300ish
314 ilvl total
uhhhh tomes lemme check how many i have
882
run some roulettes and spend those on 390 gear
for my scholar?
or summoner
does post story shb give u gear
No
currently
im approaching the end
It'll only give gear when we get the next expac
and kinda clueless about gears
!faq gearguide

Can Xaela Au Ra change there horns?
horns are tied to face
yes, with a fantasia
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
No you aren't
The MSQ goes all the way to level 80 and continues beyond.
You choose a grand company during the MSQ.
Please continue the MSQ.
Then you've already chosen a GC.

Go pick up the quest "My Little Chocobo" from the Hall of Flames.
Please don't spam the faqs.
Look
on your MSQ tracker
there is literally a little subquest thing with the quest on it
Click on that.
It will show you where the quest is.
Teleport to Ul'dah and it's near the aetheryte
Quests are always started by going to an NPC.
i believe its mostly walking and talking for the chocobo
Chocobo takes like five minutes.
oh, you know at the end of ARR how theres the crazy amount of MSQ, is it the same at shadow bringer to get to current patch?
Post-ARR is the longest post-MSQ.
Shadowbringers currently has two post-MSQ patches released.
i noticed! took me hours not days to move expansions this time haha
oh awesome so ill be up to date in no time once i hit 80 then!
its probably not the wisest way of doing it but i am literally only doing MSQ and roulettes until MSQ is done then ill focus on everything else
Do you have your chocobo yet Magic
in a city?
cant mount in cities
enjoy the quirky music!
left click
then if you click both in at the same time you run
Why is the boss in the Dreadwyrm Trance quest so tanky? Am I doing something wrong?
Is there a way to enable chat bubbles somewhere in the settings? If so where?
no
Alright. I saw someone talking about it so I figured I’d ask.
Hey, kinda new to FF XIV and was wondering if it matters which class I choose to start as? I think I heard a friend say I can be all classes eventually, but I'm super confused on that part 😓
You can be any class once you level up enough to learn the others.
So no it doesn't matter.
Are the card rewards from NPCs from Triads really have low chances to drop?
the more stars it has, the lower the chance
The ones at Golden Saucer? Not really. I'd say probably 10-20% chance.
its also RNG
Not from GS, just around the world.
I see. Higher Star, lower chances. Alright. Thank you.
From around the world it's rng as well.
I see. Thank youy.
Though, yes, it's pretty aggravating to try to get certain people to drop certain cards
Yeah, it is aggravating.... Frustrating...
.... what?
Hi guys, quick question, can you use clean pick on Legendary node? I tried and I can't but other people I see gathering are using pick clean
!action pick clean
if you have 0% hq chance it does nothing
consider that your perception stat may not be high enough
thank you @little swift I'll try to up my perception then
it will keep the dye
they're basically like little tutorial instances that were intended to slow introduce dungeon game play to people
guildhests are ok experience when you're low level, but you should mainly focus on the main scenario quest 
the anima quest, born again anima, do you need to run the dungeon until you get the item you need? or is it inna chest?
derp
Then cry a little cause Titan might hurt your feelings
Is there a way to turn off auto self-cast?
does quest sync just mean its scaled to my lvl?
for the expansion beast tribe dailes, and shadowbringers side quests, yeah
But within a level range
so like for heavensward beast tribe quest, they only sync from lvls 50-60
aaaaaah right righ
its a quest in uhhhhhh whats the name
amh araeng
with the lil kobold people a + q
so then it'll sync for lvls 70-80
Where is the White mage guide?
there is no white mage guide
Wha
because white mage is as straight forward as you can get
Mmmm
youll take ninja at 30 magic and then rogue lvls same time as ninja
!faq healerguide
basically covers white mage, more or less
jobs are basically extensions of the class
they're more or less the stronger version of them
there's no reason to unequip your soulstone once you get it
ninja is rogue+
rogue is the karen auntie of the family, and ninja is your grandma who bakes amazing cookies and gives you warm milk
i dont think my grandma is a ninja
quick gil? hard to answer
i have to get him to 80?
you can try and figure out what ores/rocks sell well
and mine those enmasse
80 isn't super needed
but the skills that are available help tremendously
you can make some intermediary materials
materials that are used to craft other things
but do study your marketboard
no website to help :#
sit and troll through it
