you can buy it on the MB I believe
And sadly not worth very much at least on Primal
yeah
I see. I just want to have one. Thanks, guys/gals.
Hey guys, do you know if you get the mog mog event tokens if you run the dungeon solo ?
wouldn't you have to be unsynced for that
You don’t get tokens for doing the duties undersized.
must be synced, which forces a full party
in unsynced yes
But this time around you can join in-progress and still get tokens
how long does it usually take to get to level 15 in a preferred world (double exp)
Probably like an hour or two at most
like 5 seconds
it's very fast
you need the chest piece as well as the helm
I know but just realized I must have doubleclicked or something to unequip the top lol
Ty
Hmm what does dragoon give and bring to raids ?
Critbuff for all and dmg buff to someone else
!action battle litany
so anyone ever had issues like the ones I mentioned about the game crashing when entering rival wings would really like some suggestions, this is like the only time I can get the stupid gorilla mounts and don't wanna miss it
!action dragon sight
So sorta like dancers
Not nearly as much.
Pretty much all DPS but samurai, black mage, and Machinist have a group damage buff or two
So say i start eureka and level paladin to where i can have the RGB Fending set, i can equip it on all tanks, right ?
same for aiming/casting ?
like as a glamour
if it says so yes
what do you mean it doesn't say so
gear might be class locked or something, i have no idea
take a screenshot
i am not at that point yet
yea the +1 with the rgb
it says you can equip it on all tanks
so its not class locked, so i'd unlock it for all my tanks ?
its for all tanks
ok thanks
I'm about to reach lvl 80 on miner. it's my first maxed gathering/crafting profession, where would I be able to obtain the best gear for the job? I'm only going through the main story slowly with friends, so MSQ wise we're still at the end of heavensward

The best gear currently is melded facet gear, which is crafted or can be bought from the marketboard
depending on your server/data center's economy that can be a bit expensive. could also buy swallowskin set but that's not going to be as good. The other set that would be decent to get is not available to you since you're still in heavensward
i figured i might not be able to get everything- thanks :) I'll look into buying the facet sets, since it will probably take some time till I level my crafters high enough
If you're in a FC you might be able to ask someone to penta meld your facet gear
not sure how much they leveled their crafters, but I'll ask around^^
three ?'s where is ishgardian restoration area (the place w board n stuff/srry if this sound sdumb) i did quest but dont remember where it is? also are leves up to 50? what to do for cul at lvl 57? kinda lost
Leves stop at 60 for combat classes, but go to 80 for crafters and gatherers.
HW leves are in ishgard
As for the firmament, you can access it through the main foundation aetheryte
OH TY!
For CUL, you can do the level 52 leve that wants muffins(?)
What the quickest way to get bout 2k Poetics.
I already did my Roulettes including MSQ.
another ? , do u know why i dont have higher lvl leves?
i checked in limsa tho
unless i have to go somewhere else for this one?
higher lvl leves are in ish?
Yes, Ishgard has level 50-60 leves
Yeah there are Leves in ishgard
Kugane has 60-70 and Crystarium has 70-80
and new "Large" variants too iirc.
ty wyn ^^ n ty kae! helps a lot
@robust magnet complete alliance roulette and 50/60/70 roulette too. For dungeons to grind you can do the Aetherochemical Research Facility and the Ghimlyt Dark.
alright guess I'll grind those, did my roulettes already. Thaks Wyn.
can you help someone with their gatherer leve quest? like gathering the item for them?
no
Thanks~
quickfire - can you have 2 ffxiv clients open at the same time on the same license
definitely not coz you're using the same login
Is there a way to stay in idle stance in gpose?
Cant seem to figure it out lol
Actually kind of figured it out? Standing from sitting fixes it
@pastel sparrow happily enough the person memeing on me admitted to it, so didn't need that - thank you though
Yeah, /sit resets gpose generally
No, but you get armory bonus
Basically the same thing
Anytime you are leveling an alt class that is below your highest, you get Armory bonus, which is a 100% boost
The road to 70 buff will reappear when you go onto a job under 70
I dont believe it reappears when synced
Hey guys, what's a good server with a healthy amount of new / returning players?
Looking to transfer off of Balmung
Does it reappear when you're below 70? I thought it goes away when you have a class that hits 70
I might be remembering wrong since last time I had that buff it was in early stormblood
correct
correct
not even
the only bonuses you would benefit from are free company/squadron buff and food buff
it's like 10 levels you'll live
IIRC armory bonus is halved when your leveling your alt 70-80
yes
Yes
its 100% for 1-69, 50% for 70-80
yes?
Yes, msq mostly gets you through it
none of your classes will get bonuses past 70 if you leave off on 70
no
the other classes wouldn't get exp bonuses either
If you want to play gnb/dnc, you could always use them to soak up stormblood's exp
and then once you hit shb, play your main
not from stormblood
you're asking about leaving your main and doing stormblood msq with an alt yes?
do i have to progress MSQ to unlock level 70 Crafter scrip exchange?
should be able to do "reach long and prosper" shortly after entering rhaglr's reach, iirc
just make sure you've done "Go west, craftsman"
so by the time you leave your main and then level your alt, that alt will then be level 70 and will get neither the road to 70 buff nor the armoury exp
like i said, if you're really worried about the exp going to waste. can use dnc/gnb to soak up stormblood's leveling exp
Is there a way to move from the crafting crouch position after finishing a craft without exiting the crafting log
and then switch to your main when you hit post sb, or shb's start
so i'm at the spot point where i can choose my GC. is there are particular difference between the 3?
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies
Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.
you level up your alts through dungeons anyway
and they will have the armoury bonus
Do we know when 5.3 patch day is?
Hi everyone ! I just bought the game with all expansions for my account. I tried to put in the key to upgrade the account to full. However, it said I couldn't because of the region. I looked into my account and for some reason it's set to FRANCE. I never lived there and remember setting it to USA.
How can I change my region ? I leveled for the past week to 30 and don't really want to do it again 😢 I also paid $59.99 and can't use that...
craftmanship or control materia ? or mixed? is it worth investing in it now? (lvl 57 cul ) side ? , or should i invest on my gear? where to even get gear for cul.. i only see on mb , class quests ? struggling to make ishgardian HQ muffin atm
when should i get gear XD
hey anyone know how to unlock hidden gorge? i dont see it in my duty finder
kathy, you dont fully invest in melds for craft/gather until you have the lvl 80 gear but for now you can put in some lower level materia because u can retrieve them at a 100% rate
if you need to reach some stats
There's a quest in the wolves' den called "Earning your wings" that unlocks it
alright, thank you @twilit arch
ty mada ^^
I have a question related to what to actually buy 😅 Do I need the deluxe edition or just Shadowbringers if I'm coming from the trial account.
Is this what I need?
https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition/
either buy the base game or the complete edition
you can't just buy dlc without the base game
Is there a way to change the region of an account ? I never made a purchase on it yet. I bought the entire US collection for the game but my account for some reason is europe
I opened a support ticket but haven't heard back
what are the best 3 crafting classes to be a specialist?
Thanks @remote lintel Do you know if both or either come with game time? i.e. do I get a month free with base game and then another month free with complete edition?
no, you get a free month with base game
dlc does not come with time
(complete edition includes the base game)
both base game and complete come with 30 days since the complete edition has the base game in it
but you can't buy both for 60+ days unless you buy it for separate platforms
Got it, thanks! Also is there a Recruit a Friend bonus I can give someone?
yes
yeah there is
but it only works BEFORE you buy time
basically once you buy time you cannot receive referral codes, but you can give them out
gotta go to Mogstation, then Your Account, then right under Additional Platforms
then you get a code that you can give out to someone
Awesome, so before I buy I should get a RAF code from someone
you can use the referral code while you have your free month
and uh if you want one i can provide 👀
Sure! I don't have anyone who plays haha
Does anybody know if it's possible to change the region of an account 😢 ?
How quick does SE usually reply to support tickets ?
I know that in the current situation it might be slower
afaik, SE can't change the region of the account. can try to find someone with an EU region code to trade
not sure if you'd find anyone here, but can try making a post on the subreddit
Ok !
COuld they not give him a refund?
😮
either that or get to 30 on NA again, you did it once
Assuming you bought from SE store, sure could try asking for a refund
I would guess trading like that would be against ToS?
I did buy it on the SE store
Trading like that isn't against Tos
both parties paid for the game, they're just swapping codes because they bought for incorrect region
What level do I have to be with lancer to unlock dragoon?
lv30
Are there any other prerequisites?
also need to have completed all of the lancer class quests, and complete the main scenario quest "Sylph Management"
Thank you
how do i stop the game from autolocking onto my allies
Is there a website focused on glamour to help me find similar appearance items? Cause, I want to find these boots in "all classes"
Garlandtools shows you if that item shares a model with anything else
After leves, what's the second best option for MIN/BTN exp?
collectables
you'd have to make a new character to see the starting city specific story
starting intro quests until they all converge to 1 MSQ is specific to where you create character
if you started in Gridania and want to see the Ul'dah intro, you will have to start a new character in Ul'dah
but its roughly all the same, with slight changes
instead of fighting Ixals in Shroud, it will be Amal'jaa in Thanalan.. but it all comes to the same in the long run

I am slowly realizing how much of my gear in the dresser is "Disciple of War"

are enemies able to dh/crit?
I recently started the My Little Chocobo quest but i can't see where i can see how many seals I need for the issuance
what does control do w/ crafting
i’ve just been focusing on getting craftsmanship up
ah, thanks
Definitely important, next to CP
i don't know if i'm doing something wrong. I have over a K of seals but the vender for the bird issuance is red and I don't know what else to do
you're talking to your grand company quartermaster to buy the issuance, yes?
oh i'm a idiot

hey, is the the server status page typically a bit behind? It's saying that Famfrit is open to new characters there while it isn't in the game
!status Famfrit
I suppose it could be a bit slow to update
Too many people online at the moment, can only wait until traffic dies down a bit
alright, thanks
what happens if you MSQ skip with no characters
like purchase it even though you have no characters
Impossible, as you need a character to mail it to.
fairly certain you can't buy it unless you have a character
since it requires a character to be mailed to
so before i go make a fool of myself, what is the best way to advertise myself in the recruitment channel for free companies to think, yea, we want this healer
Tell them who are you and what you're looking for in an FC. 🤷♂️
Tell them you're lonely female Miqo'te looking for comfort
It's a side quest so you have to be level like 16 iirc
What quest?
Oh, that quest
Yeah I realized that once I started looking around to find some path to go underground
For future reference, if you are too high or too low from your quest destination
The mini icon should have a up or down arrow to tell you to move up or move down
When does Gogmagolem use Plaincracker?

Can’t quite remember, but if you’re asking for the blue mage spell, the golems in Outer La Noscea to the west of the Aetheryte also use it.
I think all golems with that sprite use it
Not sure where I should post but I am on Sargatanas and have zero friends lol 😅 lonely times!
sarg is not in primal 🤔
True
#612757637813239808 join aether
My main is lol
What counts as a high level duty
current tier endgame stuff
right now it's Ruby Weapon Extreme, Relic Weapon Trial Extreme, and e5-e8 Savage Raids
High level not high end
61+
Neat
anyone know a good way to meet people to play? i’m brand new to mmo’s and FFXIV, so i would really like to meet others that don’t expect me to know everything/willing to learn
talk to people who you think look cool
i have a question
if i buy ffxiv on windows (i have shadowbringers on ps4) but i dont get the expansion.
what happens if im in a shb map?
it doesnt allow you to go to those areas sif you dont have the expansion
so where do i get booted to if i last logged off on my ps4 in eulmore lol
You just can’t log in at all
Question: Isn't Hissatu Guren, just overall better than Kyuten?
Yes but guren has a 2min cooldown
stats for bard?
haha. Thanks Vinyl
help
Crit > dh > det
same with nin?
What is the benefit of this Cover PLD spell as a solo-tank?
None
Can I use it on random bystanders I run into in the world?
Okay, this move is dead to me
So only used in a dungeon
Even them, cover isn't used much
It was nerfed into the ground hard
What'd it used to do?
It didn't cost gauge AND it gave you 20% damage mitigation
Basically a free rampart
When you cover someone
That's crazy
Yeeeeep
Yeah...most time you typically spend gauge on intervention
Or Sheltron if tanking
The only super niche case is to take a debuff from someone (IE someone is targetted with a attack that will apply a dot, you can cover and take it for them) or save someone from dying by taking the hit
Most these cases don't come up too often
Hell i dont think I've seen a decent use for it in any tier this whole expansion, including ultimate
So yeah cover is

and off the Actionbars it goes
im having a dilemma
i'm a returning player who has no clue about the mechanics in this game anymore. should i delete the current character and create a new one or stay with this character?
lvl 70
Im a returning player too. Found it hard to get back on the horse again at first but eventually remembered the mechanics just by doing dungeons
start a new class
i tried to relearn things but theres way too many stuff to learn
Starting a new class helps without having to do the story again
Though a new character does help introduce stuff again slowly
And you can hop back when ready
yeah
Ohhh then start a new class like what the other recommend
i mean i have other new characters on different world
dragoon prob?
You can look at the active help as well
i could start those and relearn everything
It exists for a reason
okay where is it under
system
Should be under the system menu
Escape key if you play on PC
Hey peeps 😄 Racial stats do not matter at all in this game right?
It gives you brief overview of stuff and questions are always welcome to be answered
Correct
@smoky igloo no they do not
Thank you
Speaking of returning players in need of help, can anyone help me walk throught memoria misera extreme? Planning to complete it before my sub ends today but have no luck in party finder for the past two days :(
blue mage any good?
only as a meme
Its side content
it's capped at lvl 60 so
Not a real proper job
oh lol cant do the whole thing as a blue mage..
nope
But it can do some wacky shot
booo... why not
because its op as hell
And is the most optimal to farm this event
lol
Yeah I heard that just take 4 blue mages and speed run Aurum Vale
Just insta kill the first 2 bosses then murder the last with primal spells and moon flute openers
@midnight crag recommend watching a guide and looking for parties specifically for helping new ppl
for ur question
@remote lintel I already watched guides but nobody seems to be doing it these past few days. One time I waited 1hr 45min in duty finder to no avail
as far as i'm aware you can push the FPS as hard as you want without issue
Party finder is the go to for extremes
Only masochists and extremely bored people que for extremes
There should be a handful of parties for it
Ohhhh I see I see
Ok thanks guys!!! :D
Anything with extreme, savage, ultimate, minsitral ballad or binding coils in the name is mostly done via party finder
For future reference
with the exception JP which can manage to queue them via DF
if it's not on a roulette, you're gonna want to use Party Finder for it
Yeah true...JP does have a slightly different view
Though iirc JP uses DF for farms?

@faint flare thanks! I hope I can atleast get my idealized gear before my sub ends today
Get on it...fight isnt bad expect for the final phase after 2nd intermission...but only cause of smooth brains 
and its DPS checks are very lenient
Yeah....when i was going for mt first clear we killed it after 2nd fortious...and i was wondering how much was left...there was a fair amount
Dps check is about as non existant as ruby's dps check 
Same, got first clear within a few hours of release...stumbled through fortius and zombied through
You guys seem very good, mind helping me complete this? Would feel much safer with you guys 😂
if you're scared i recommend checking out JoonBobs visual guide
Im on EU so 
Is it not possible to party across servers?
Not cross data centre no
Maybe one day in the future
Faaaar future
And it will be a grand day
I hope sooner rather than later lol
you can form a party across servers but not across datacenters
for example, tonberry and kujata can play together
Pretty much everything can be done cross server these days with world visit and stuff
normally how long u guys wait for pt in hoh 21-30?
Still no luck in memoria ex party finder :(
Guess ill just finish the Hilidbrand SB quest line before my sub ends. Atleast ill get something done lol
Will it give me exp on a low level job?
people who enjoyed the story yuel
Just watch the cutscenes on YouTube
playing and watching are not the same experience
Is role Duty Roulette a good way to get EXP or is the risk of getting a low-level dungeon too great?
its only good on the first completion of the day after reset
because of the bonus upon completion
afterwards you would run the highest level leveling dungeon
or PoTD
depending on your job's queue time for them
is it possible to buy a really fast mount on the web shop? the free chocobo is cute, but too slow for me
all mounts have the same speed
except the motorcycle which comes with the first upgrade
Hey so... using like, cannons(in a fight, ones on the ground) with a controller... why can’t I move the ground-target thing off myself
URGH level 59 only one more level to go >.<
okay thanks
all mounts have the same speed except for Fenrir, which has the level 1 speed boost automatically
the motorcycle in question is the Fenrir SS
is the alex gear from a lvl 60 raid ?
yes
well if you click on that there link
hard to get ?
you can answer your own question
no
Alex savage
oh savage
Anyone know how to get cannons to work correctly on a controller?
still ez i think?
a12s maybe challenging for people doing it the first time
shouldnt be too hard unsynced ?
@idle heath did you somehow target yourself
I can’t make it move at all
can be completed without a FULL party iirc
cause i just started doing elemental grind for pally
Like, the reticle never moves. Idk what buttons it’s set to
but i think i'd grind elemental for RDM before cause that alex gear looking really good
RB + left thumbstick @idle heath
recently got on pc, is there a way to make my left button the movement button? instead of wasd
you mean the mouse?
Lemme try. A gentleman and a scholar @remote lintel
@remote lintel yes left mouse click
I don't think so and idk why u would want to
you could probably bind LMB to forward using keybinds
if not you can use an external program to do it
that's not clicking on the ground to move tho
and holding both your mouse buttons by default will allow you to auto walk

what is a fast way to level another job? My astrologian is level 36 and would like to max it out in the least time possible
is that it
Is there an official release day for 5.3? just wondering because of the event
Nothing official yet
the suspense. thanks
ok. Thank you
we'll have a firm date when the next live letter is out
do I get a reward for finishing all of conjurer’s hunting logs?
Like the Yggdrasil weapon for Druid in GW2
you get an achievement
and a glamour ring
that can be retrieved from Jonathas, the achievement vendor in Gridania
jumping from controller to mb and keyboard is making me feel stupid
mb users, how do you reach your skills while still moving?
Keep skills on 1-5 and nothing past around there
general tips, though i do have this mouse with a num pad on the side
im going to use that for my off gcdsa
gcds*
The general thing about KB is to keep skills in a hand's reach, nothing to strain the wrist
Things you use more, being easier to access
Maybe you could use modifier keys to organize via positionals
I'll hope a KB MNK user comes in, I play Controller
you want all your keys to be within hands reach for sure
here's what i use
everything i can hit without stretching too much
and you want to make sure if you play multiple jobs
that similar skills are grouped together
all my role actions are in the same locations
other than that
its really just practice
@little swift whats up with those skills on the far left?
they arent assigned a button? you use your mouse to click them?
Hi, I was wondering does anyone know the different IPs to test my latency CMD window
yeah if you zoom in you can tell there's a symbol it's just very small
!faq checkping
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
because they are
its on this website @deft hound
i cant fuckng wear my summonerglam without being flames 
wouldn't do to be letting people run around in the uniform of a military they're not a part of
any idea why glams for gc specific are gc specific for some reason
@ember goblet military uniform
Ah much appreciated!
maybe lore mentors will have a better answer
it dumb
Hey guys
Is housing useless?
I just bought fc quarters
But I just found out u cant have glamour dresser as furniture
the only practical thing housing gives access to on an individual basis is chocobo stables
with your FC some more options open up
Ok daddy @little swift
I mean useless as in the things it gives back
Besides emotional satisfaction
Chocobo stables, airship expeditions, FC buffs
yeah that doesn't give access to anything extra, except for the stables if you get an apartment
Ah ok
can i go into savage 8-man raids with an undersized party?
not current expansion ones
and i assume the older ones cannot be solo'd right? specifically the HW raids
probably need at least 1 other person for most of them
some have mechanics that still need to be executed correctly
@fallow fable these are the things they can adjust
are the guaranteed drops (like the blade from e8n) also only 1 a week or is that only for chest loot?
How do I tab out without this happening
adjust your game resolution to match the monitor
Is it set to windowed borderless?
set your game to borderless windowed rather than fullscreen
^^
Ok
are the guaranteed drops (like the blade from e8n) also only 1 a week or is that only for chest loot?
@stuck oracle blade from e8 is 1/week
ah alright
I'm trying to build recruitment in a small, newer FC. Any suggestions?
Ah, thank you
o thank you

If I queue for a specific dungeon, will other player(s) possibly join me through daily roulette for dungeons?
ye
nice
level 80 pvp gear is pretty future metal cyborgy armour
If that isn't to your liking maybe browse some of the HW armour. They can get decently armoury
Oh and Deepshadow gear at 80
No
Not in the slightest
for moogle event, which reward i shud prioritize for newbie
i think the level 80 armor is like halfway there though
deepshadow ye
the eden stuff is also p bulky
@fringe widget only the Mameshiba neckerchief is an event exclusive item
and lets not forget this trashfire
its up to you if you want to do some of the mounts as well
^
it's good for uptime
If it lets you get extra hits in before dodging
Getting extra gcds in before having to break off >>>>>> 10 kenki
same for goten or whatever the dash in is called
Heya I had an odd question, I'm lvl 53 paladin and was wondering what what accesories I should use for my class that should be important to use
fending accessories are what you should be using
Sweet thank you very much!
Hey guys
Someone called me a baby today
How can I report him and get him banned?
When someone is selling a house via relocation, does that mean that one would have to already have a house to purchase it from them?
is there maintenance now?
I see
no, there's no maint @lilac thicket
But it hurt my feelings @fresh lodge
That sucks to hear
don't be such a baby about getting called what you're acting like over it.
After you vote dismiss someone mid duty does the game automatically search for a replacement for you
Thank u @fresh lodge
Is the drop rate of old extreme trials higher than the drop rates of the ShB trials?
(for mounts)
Where can I find the report function?
not auto, someone is leader and has to authorise/initiate the search (i think)
The Square Enix Support Centre is a centralised support site that provides product information and solutions to the most frequently asked questions and issues with our products and services.
open the duty finder window, there should be an option to requeue
check who has (L) beside their name in the party list and then make that person right click on the party
or search for replacement
and it doesn't have to be the party leader
if you're in a random group
Oh btw good news @twilit arch my friend I reported who bought an account got banned LOL
Thanks so much for ur help
I never been this happy my entire life
my friend >I reported is now banned
pick one
Yeah I invited him to game, he started as noob and then next day he has so many finished relic weps with so many level 80 jobs, made me so angry
I farm day and night for anima weps and still only have 2
Hes crying now but thanks guys
Love this server

Like.. It's against the rules like crazy, but at the same time to me that comes across as... Kind of weird to do to your friend
Down the road the account probably would have been stolen back either way I suppose
What the heck
People farm day and night for that shit
He paid money for it
But this is not channel for that
im trying to optimize my HuD but im sort of stumped, advice where to put my target hp bar and guages? im sort of getting use to keyboard and mouse because of this mouse that lets me move around easily while using my gcds. still trying to figure out my ogcds (those will be the ones im using my keyboard for)
Mister is right actually
Move it elsewhere
The concept of "deserves" is in your head
If you can buy something...
Then you can get it
Lmao
If you're not really wanting to use the SAM sword UI element you can switch it to the basic version
ninja mods?
Looks nicer to me, anyways
says something controversial
isnt agreed with
ill call mods!
Outside of that, your UI / hotkeys are 100% up to you to familiarize yourself with
Ill stop now but lol
the sam bar is kinda hidden behind other ui's
Yeah, it's why I figured changing it to the basic version would just make it match nicer
you might also reconsider the target health bar too
thought it might be easier to see enemy casts if its closer to where im looking at the hotbar @alpine shadow
yea the target hp bar is kinda thicc
what do you sutggest?
imo, you dont really need to see the boss's cast bar at all
if you are interrupting yeah
but you dont need to stick it in your face, is what i mean
well yea it doesnt need to be in ur face
but should still be somewhere pretty easy to see
thats what im trying to figure out, generally speaking where do you guys put the target bar/cast bar
just want your inputs
usually i have it at the top
wait dude whats ur screen size
are u playing on a p small screen
resolution has nothing to do with screen size
he could be playing at 1080p but on a 15'' screen
yeah, you don't need 150%
yea if u can afford to make ur map and msq guide smaller
all the non-essential stuff
@outer plank
@bronze sorrel ui size has much to do with resolution though
@alpine shadow ok this makes it alot easier
yea but if hes playing on a smaller screen he could have manually increased the size so its easier for him to see
i think he plays on a laptop? if so, 150% is too great of a size increase
he said his screen is 17"
im just saying, thats why i asked for screen size specifically and not resolution
nah nah, i was asking resolution cause it was scaled so large, cause i thought it was on 100% 720p
i thought it would increase the graphics if the went to 150% cause it said HD
lol
mind you, im jumping from ps4 to pc so im getting use to this
you can try 200% and see if you feel better then
this laptop is only 144hz, i dont think it supports 4k resolution
also ur missing quite a few buttons ur gonna need for sam
u might wanna set up more hotbars
im aware, i was just filling in the gcd and familarizing myself with the mouse im using
nah, it just scales up UI, it does not change the resolution of the game window
ah gotcha
@alpine shadow oh, got it
so for example, if you have a 4k monitor, 100% might look extremely tiny, so you need to increase it to 150% or 200%
Do you guys think square enix can change the region of my account ?
Nope
If you want to change account region yeah, but for the most part it does not matter alot
Well I live in the US and my account region is EU for some reason
the only thing that matters is when you are purchasing expansions
Payement is going to be weird
Yea...
I bought the 59.99 PC full collection for US
because I live there and thought my region was US
Yeah, if you want to redeem that, you need an US region account
I get that
But since I didn't purhcase anything on the EU account is it possible to change the region via support ?
Since you bought the full version, i bet you just tried out trial?
I don't think they can. But you can try
did i understand it correctly? like there's a limit in using duty finder? i cant use it unlimited times a day?
level 30 isnt far
there is no limit on duty finder
Still is annoying to restart
duty finder is unlimited
i wonder what's the thing iread that refreshes every 8~12 hours i think
you will want to change ur region to US anyway because otherwise you will be stuck paying euro taxes
Hoping they can change the account region via support ticket
I live in Australia and they considered me euro which is annoying af because 10€ is like 18$
hopefully yes but it will take longer bc of covid
normally you'd put a ticket and then call them for it to go faster :(
You can call ?
Yea I put in my support ticket on saturday so officially monday
so it's only been 2 days
there's no call center coz of covid
Email support has actually been working saturdays recently as well, but they've got quite a bit on their plate. You shouldn't expect a huge wait time though, they typically get through things at a decent pace
what if i didnt want looted/bought/etc gear to go straight into my armoury chest is there a way to change it to go into my inventory?
The "store all newly obtained items in armoury chest" option, you can uncheck. The screenshot is a couple years old so there might be a bit more there
But it's under character config -> inventory settings

So what's best method to get from 60>61 since don't wanna do HOH
Done all roulette to get myself from 58>60
then lvl 59 dungeon\
Or Hunt > beast tribe in Stormblood
i dont think hunts give a lot
daily huntbills are decentish exp
@junior wind how many days would you anticipate ?
but 59 dungeons with fates/huntbills/beast tribes while waiting is probably your best choice
Sweet
From what I've been told, it really depends on the ticket volume but it shouldn't be more than 5 days, ish
I can't really give you anything accurate since the circumstances are kind of crazy, but the turnaround hasn't been bad even so
thanks i hope this all works out
then dungeons from 61>63 6x then Level 63-65 Violet Tides 7x ?
is there a way to stop this game from dropping in frames every time i tab out?
in system settings i think
yea that
Uncheck that
thx

Is there anything cool that you can get from farming moogle beast tribe?
That ppl typically farm for
I story skipped hw and in order to unlock moogle tribe I have to do a looooot of quests
farming you can get some okay crafting materials
What mount/minion?
allying all the hw beast tribes and doing the final quest gets you /moonlift
you get the dandelion puff ball mount
imo i keep "limit frame rate when client is inactive" to not waste cpu/gpu usage when im not intab
Oooh I’ve seen that...damn that is pretty cool...
i tried doing /mandervilledance cause they were asking for something they have never seen
How bad is Seiryu EX compared to Suzaku EX?
@alpine shadow I tried every dance in my list until I did the right one 
i think suzaku is worse if you are clueless
both of them are fairly forgiving unsynced now, just watch a vid and if everyone's paying attention you're PROBABLY fine. going in blind, suzaku changes the most from normal mode and thus I'd say is harder
people pull the birds to the center and in ex that'll cause a wipe
i'm 57 clears in on Suzaku
first time i tried to do suzaku ex as a carry, i didnt know the bird mechanics, so we almost failed all the time
with seiryu, the big issue is usually, in my experience, the meteors in the last phase? people don't stack and then the healer stack comes RIGHT AFTER
Seiryu's the only one i haven't touched at all yet
it was way easier than I expected it to be, i was in the same boat as you
if you have a team that is willing to pay attention to mechanics and not try to outhealth them, you'll be fine
I want to play samurai, should I go straight for it once I hit 50? or wait until I finish heavensward
there's literally no reason for the old primals to not drop the mounts guaranteed
i mean. every time you run is a chance for you to help a newbie get their clear. the reason it's not 100% is 1) totem system for hw and on and 2) to keep the content being played, so it never dies out and newbies never end up entirely screwed out of beating it
Steve, no reason not to grab it
@loud wolf if you want to play it just go for it
"you'll help a newbie get their clear" almost every group i've been in has been set to "Duty Complete"
ok I am afraid playing expansion jobs will spoil the story
they won;t
so no newbies allowed
nice thanks
class quests have nothing to do with the story
just play whatever job you want
actually the drg quests are pretty important to the heavensward story
Does anyone know the drop rate of nightmare mount? I think I’ve ran extreme 100 times yet and no dice
@thorn thicket you can try creating your own party finder
its extremely low
though i would recommend knowing the bird mechanics at least
Dang, I read somewhere on reddit it should be like 5% but maybe that’s wrong 😦
do macros also have outputted words in the chat with them? many healers while resurrecting a player write a message that seems to be pre-written
“resurrecting X target!” etc.
Yeah
/party resurrecting <t>
<t> will automatically write down your current target
nice
Take note that macro won't do clever thing like figuring it whether you can res the target
It is up to you to do it cleanly
I won’t play with macros at all, was just wondering since I saw healers writing said messages
I prefer improving my skills and awareness
Macro is not recommended for combat, aside from 2-3 cases to improve quality of life
So yeah, you are fine without :D
@alpine shadow i’ve cleared Suzaku 57 times. i was saying people are setting pfs to duty complete so they can hopefully get faster, efficient clears for farming

what is the main benefit from doing the kugane restoration thing?
someone mentioned relic weapons a while ago, are they something I should be pursuing on my way to 80? or are they cosmetic and more of a side thing
Mostly cosmetic
Only the current expansion relic is usable
The current shb tier of relic weapons are fairly competetive, at i485
But the older ones are just for looks
You can spend poetics to get weapons that are just as good in a fraction of the time
oh cool, so the older ones are still obtainable? or are any of them legacy
@nova umbra its a good way to get some money by dumping your trash into their donation box
Still obtainable
thanks 👍
The heavensward ones are fairly easy to complete and have some very nice looking ones
Still will take a good 6 hours + tho probably
Hiyaa i just had a smol question
If there's a Free Company on Omega (Chaos) but that my main server is Ragnarok (Chaos), can i still join it ?
Aww i see tyvm Channy !
Hello! I heard there is a level 35 free trial for final fantasy xiv. My family has had the game for awhile. I want to make a character for myself and try it out but I get this error when logging on instead. I’ve been googling how to access the free trial through the same acc but cant find any solution. I think I’m missing something here can anyone clarify for me?
@hybrid rapids you can't sign into the full launcher with a trial account
and vice versa
Do Paladins require 2 sets of Atmas to upgrade their Zenith weapon set 1 set each for sword & shield, or is an upgrade prackage deal?
if you family owns the game, you'll have to download the trial launcher seperately
@lilac thicket only twelve total, still. just 2 atmas get allotted to the shield iirc
so 10 sword 2 shield
i think
Ok ty
@leaden ginkgo Uhh i'm a brand new player level 73 right now Samurai
Is there a weapon I should have as a paladin at lvl 54? The weapon I'm currently using is a Cobalt Shamshir and I'm sure there should be a better weapon to use at my level
you should be using ironworks gear, minimum
unless you haven't finished The Praetorium and you have the Road to 70 active
what level is your main scenario quest?
If you want, I can craft you a set. I'm in the same datacenter so might as well haha
I am using full ironworks gear right now, I just don't have a better weapon that I know of
How do I get the tokens?
poetics exchange > other
Also, don't forget to repair your gear. 
buy an encrypted tomestone and 7x rowena's token (poetics) from auriana
and then exchange them to aelina for the weapon
this remains the same for every tomestone weapon
however, multiple tomestone sets will be introduced
do ask to double check which set you buy later on
Ohh alright I think I understand now
I'm going to get more poetics tomestones and try to see if I can get it
it's 500 poetics total
380 for paladin, since they only need 7 tokens
hi im smrt
Oh alrighty that won't take too long then
hey! I'm a returning player (got lured back in by the free 8 day login promotion some weeks back) and I finally made my way to Heavensward!
I've gone some way in the MSQ, but is anyone willing to help me play through Coils of Bahamut for the story? turns 1-5? I feel I might be missing out on a bit, and I I haven't had luck using party or duty finder this morning
Dislike doing POTD dioesn't teach you how to play your class properly
#recruitment-light
1-70 they should increase exp rate in dungeons
thanks @little swift
they already did
it's called
armoury bonus
and a buff back in heavensward or so
any more and you'd rapidly outlevel the MSQ
doubled with the Road to 70
MSQ already upto 74
Thanks to dancer but gave up and swapped to RDM
Wait Castrum gives 4m exp at 69+ ?
No
Just random queuing for highest dungeon like at 61>63 8x Siren Dungeon
● Level 61-63 Sirensong Sea 6 runs (w/out rested)
● Level 63-65 Violet Tides 7 (w/out rested)
why not do heaven on high
yeah that's normal
@slate arrow thank you! So i either download the trial launcher or buy a subscription?
you have to buy the Starter Edition
you cannot buy a subscription without the Starter Edition

Can Training Dummies go in apartments/private quarters
I think I have everything except shadowbringers? @slate arrow
What does your mogstation page say?
There's 3 states an account can have
Trial, Starter, and Expansions
since you can't buy past expansions normally
(Shadowbringers comes with all previous expansions, fortunately.)
no @crimson wind
fuck

Hello my account type is standard am i looking at the right thing?
What job crafts glamour prisms?
@hybrid rapids so you have a standard account, which means you'll have to download the full launcher
Are you sure you don't see Trial?
@stable hinge yes
(all 8 of them can)
yes
the guy who sells the books doesnt seem to sell them
I see i get it from my grand company ty
mining question, how would I get HQ Adamantite Ore for lvl 60 Quest (Other than MarketBoard), I can only get it as a collectible. Perception is at 510
turn off collector's glove
@undone zenith did you turn off your collectible skill
What classes are most sought-after for brining to hard content now? Are black mages viable, or have they been pushed out by summoners etc. because raids and the like require frequent shuffling so they can't stand in their laylines and blast away?
i swear i turned it off but then i couldn't mine the node because it said it could only be mined as collectible
i'll try again but, thanks
any class is viable if you can play it well tbh
!faq meta



it pretty much looks the same as the concept art
