zealous phoenix
#

Sweetness. I also wanted to ask how would I transfer my character from free trial to full game. I also want to know how to change data centers as I want to play with a friend

little swift
#

you'd have to pay for a transfer

#

if you want to switch data centers

pure raven
#

If i have game on pc and connect my ps4 with free starter pack will i get free sub month?

zealous phoenix
#

how much would it be

crimson crystal
#

From free trial to full game, you just log in with the same account and your character will be there

remote lintel
#

18 usd

little swift
#

i think the transfer is like 18 dollars or something

#

you will get the free 30 days from registering a new platform license to your account iirc

crystal shoal
#

is fisher a good profession to play?

fresh lodge
#

Do you enjoy fishing?

crystal shoal
#

very much

remote lintel
#

then do it

sick zenith
#

Is it a fun minigame or is it just like mining and botany

little swift
#

its different from mining and botany slightly

crystal shoal
#

do I get anything out of it tho

remote lintel
#

fish

little swift
#

since you can't know what you're yoinking out of the water

crystal shoal
#

lol

sick zenith
#

Fish which go into cooking recipes

little swift
#

besides knowing what fish are in what loot tables

sick zenith
#

And some minions apparently

crimson crystal
#

Fishing is relaxing

little swift
#

there aren't that many fish related culinarian recipes

sick zenith
#

Then what else do you use fish for lol

crimson crystal
#

Fish don't sell quick on the mb though

#

I just Sell them

sick zenith
#

Making singing wall mounts?

crimson crystal
#

Or you can just release after you catch them

little swift
#

you desynth fish

crimson crystal
#

Lol the frames are expensive though

faint flare
#

Your main money is aether sand via the fish

#

Which is used in higher end crafting

sick zenith
#

Interesting

#

Ive been avoiding fishing and cul and alc at the moment

#

But ill keep that in mind

crimson crystal
#

Fishing also levels really quickly

#

Especially ocean fishing

remote lintel
#

my FC boss made a lot of money from fishing retainers

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

brazen lion
#

Is it just me or is there no Shiva Discord?

obsidian patio
frank anchor
#

can I solo farm for Night Pegasus Whistle or do I need a group for it? seen posts about it that go back to 2017 so wondering if a level 80 can farm it, looks cool

remote lintel
#

you can solo potd yes

faint flare
#

You do need to go to 150+ for it iirc

blissful matrix
#

To solo, you need to choose 'Fixed party'

faint flare
#

So would need a red mage or something

misty marsh
#

I have a question, if I unlock summoner and scholar at the same time at level 30 and then scholar level up lvl 31, the summoner will level up too or not?

faint flare
#

Yes

strange coral
#

Yes, they level at the same time because you earn "arcanist xp" instead of job specific xp

faint flare
#

They share xp due to having arcanist base

#

You will need to do the others job quest to get skills

#

But its extra xp as well

misty marsh
#

Okay thanks!

patent tusk
#

Will deleting the game on PS4 delete any save data?

zealous phoenix
#

Can I delete my character to make a new one to change data centers?

#

i'm not satisfied with the one I had first time, and I want to make a new one

remote lintel
#

you can just make another one on another data center

zealous phoenix
#

i'm about to add A realm reborn onto my account and I just want to be sure I can delete the character to make a new one

strange coral
remote lintel
#

yes you can delete it

zealous phoenix
#

Nice

patent tusk
#

@strange coral Ok thanks. I was about to buy PS+ to back it up to the PS cloud but hopefully that's not necessary

strange coral
#

I don't have XIV on PS4, but other games' saved data (saves and settings) are typically kept when you delete digital downloads. I imagine XIV keeps your settings in the same place.

patent tusk
#

I hope it works like that. I wanna upgrade to the standard edition but to do that I have to delete the free trial version first

strange coral
#

Also characters are saved on the servers, so don't need to worry about them

pine bluff
#

what happens if you switch class/job mid fate?

#

does the exp just go to the class you're on when the fate finishes

faint flare
#

Yes

real thicket
#

when I do my relic quest do I have to do a specific fate or just fates in that area?

faint flare
#

For crystals? Any in that area

next wind
#

hey guys, I thought frontlines best strategy is to bunch up and run for objectives, is it not?

#

someone said it's not, I was wondering what's the best way to approach it to have the max chance to win

fresh lodge
#

It heavily depends on what the other teams are doing

little swift
#

the one that requires teh least amount of coordination is zerg the objective pinged

#

but its game state dependent

next wind
#

that's what I do 1. explain rules quickly b4 match 2. post coordinations and group up then zerg the objectives

little swift
#

generally speaking though you're more likely to win fights if you group up and focus targets being marked

#

but not everyone wants to group together

next wind
#

but we lost a couple of times cuz enemy team had 3 objectives spawn on their side

fresh lodge
#

Thems the breaks

next wind
#

even when we followed this strategy and someone said when we chase objectives all game we don't build something

#

and we lose

#

that's what I was wondering about

little swift
#

in some maps splitting your group off to do other objectives can be vital to a comeback

fresh lodge
#

Nothing you can really do

#

Frontlines has a lot of RNG

little swift
#

objectives matter about as much as kills do in Onsal Hakair as well

#

since killing someone gives your team points and punishes the enemies by causing them to lose points as well

next wind
#

hmm okay

fresh lodge
#

You're best bet is to follow your team and any instructions people give

pine bluff
#

what does the 5 mean?

little swift
#

its your item level

pine bluff
#

it's the average of level of my equipment?

#

how's it calculated

raw solstice
#

a straight average of item level across all slots

little swift
#

there's an item level written on each of your pieces of gear

#

its just /12

raw solstice
#

notably, double handed weapons count for both main hand and offhand slots, in that average

pine bluff
#

ok cool ty

frigid pelican
#

is there a site for marketboard prices which are up to date?

#

to check for whole data center?

leaden ginkgo
#

There was but the guy who owned it got banned iirc

frigid pelican
#

yea i found that one

#

lol

little swift
#

there's also universalis but that's manually updated

frigid pelican
#

meh:(

little swift
#

so not always super up to date

frigid pelican
#

still can recommend? does it have a lot of users?

solemn delta
#

On FF logs how do I look at actual DPS it's just showing numbers up to 100 like 99.58 etc

#

Wanted to look at actual numbers

unreal aspen
#

with lvl 80 nq crafting gear (the non master recipe kind) + fc buffs + food, would I be able to to reliably hq the best crafting gear? or do i need to farm out the scrip gear

faint flare
#

nq crafting gear...?

unreal aspen
#

yeah lmao

faint flare
#

Hell no

unreal aspen
#

ok ty

faint flare
#

NQ is trash

solemn delta
#

Like I wanna see actual DPS

faint flare
#

Click on the job

karmic jolt
#

I'm wanting to get a third Job going but I don't know what one to pick. Right now I'm deciding between Dark Knight, Monk, and White Mage. Anyone want to help?

raw solstice
#

click on the "aggregate using normalized scores" and change it to per second amounts

solemn delta
#

That's the job rika thanks

karmic jolt
#

Oh does that table break down percentile parces? Ex the average output of the median player and all?

unreal aspen
#

what kind of playstyle are you looking for?

solemn delta
#

That's top tier I believe

#

Savage raiding

karmic jolt
#

Me? Right now I have a War and Dancer at 80 but I don't have the MSQ for Shadowbringers done

#

So I'm going to get a 3rd job ready to be capped by the MSQ. I'm just having trouble picking a Job

#

I'm not a fan of OGCD so I don't want to do Gunbreaker or Astrologan, I'm not sure if the classes I listed as interest have OGCD abilities

solemn delta
#

What's rdps and adps?

raw solstice
#

!faq fflogsdps

zinc orbitBOT
#
What is the difference between rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?
Info
  • RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
  • Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
  • aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
raw solstice
#

it is not ranged dps, or added dps

solemn delta
#

Cause rdps clearly isn't ranged since SAM are top for E7S

karmic jolt
#

Yep, deleted because faq

unreal aspen
#

whm definitely will have ogcd spells

karmic jolt
#

Do any of the healers not have off gcd?

unreal aspen
#

nope

#

but they're a bit diff from ogcds like dancer

karmic jolt
#

Bleh. I know all tank jobs have some.

unreal aspen
#

in the sense that you're not like constantly trying to have uptime and theyre more situational

karmic jolt
#

Oh so more like instant casts

unreal aspen
#

yeah

#

with longer cooldowns

#

I havent leveled astro a ton but i know with whm and scholar most ogcds are like instaheals

karmic jolt
#

Sorry I've played a lot of wow but not much 14

unreal aspen
#

no worries!

robust crow
#

ff14 runs around ocgd

unreal aspen
#

theyre sort of a mixture of o-shit buttons and things to use to keep your dps up

robust crow
#

i'm pretty sure every class in the game double weaves

karmic jolt
#

Warrior doesn't or didn't for me. Maybe I was playing wrong.

#

Dancer definitely does, that's like it's thing

faint flare
#

Well you got your cooldowns

#

For war

karmic jolt
#

Yeah CDs but I mean more like hitting fans and all for Dancer

unreal aspen
#

you might like redmage tbh?

faint flare
#

Which you may end up double weaving with something else depending on fight

unreal aspen
#

I feel like as a class it only has a few ogcds

#

and most of the focus is more on dualcast/bw mana management

karmic jolt
#

I've not even looked into it honestly.

frank anchor
#

how do I get or farm Irregular Tomestone of Law?

faint flare
karmic jolt
#

So it has Mana management like Dark Knight? I'll probably have to watch a video on it to get a better idea

faint flare
#

Do these instances

karmic jolt
#

Moogle heads are the tomestone one's right?

unreal aspen
#

no it's a different kind mostly

faint flare
#

Yes

unreal aspen
#

you have two types of mana, black and white

#

and certain spells give you certain amounts of one

#

and you have to keep them as equal as possible until they reach a certain level

#

at which point you have a melee combo instead of casting like previously

#

also the other main part of the class is dualcast, which means that once you hardcast one spell the next one is instant

karmic jolt
#

Alright so I need to look more into Monk and Red Mage. Are there any other classes that are on the simpler side like Dancer and Warrior? That's what attracted me to them in the first place

unreal aspen
#

rdm is def a pretty simple class

#

I think it's very easy to pick up

#

I would say dragoon is also pretty simple

#

but it has a lot more ogcd weaving

pine bluff
#

what's the hardest jobs

karmic jolt
#

It probably is but I'm kinda dumb when I'm playing so simple is my go to.

unreal aspen
#

nothing wrong with that haha, every class is viable in this game so you should just pick the one that's the most fun

karmic jolt
#

From what I've seen getting good uptime in Black Mage is the hardest thing to do @pine bluff

pine bluff
#

cause you have to run around so much in the game?

frank anchor
#

I might be missing something, why are the Itinerant Moogle vendor empty ?

unreal aspen
#

i would say smn is pretty hard in regards to learning the rotation but once you do it's on the easier side

karmic jolt
#

Oh Dancer is super fun and Warrior is all about smash which I enjoy. I just don't want a but load of xp going to waste.

#

And it's learning how to move as little as needed while dpsing, like a traditional Mage the more you move the less you cast. Less cast means less damage. It's a player skill thing that takes a lot of puls to learn

#

Thanks @unreal aspen

static yacht
#

Imo easiest dps is brd mch or dnc

idle heath
#

Dumb question; can I set certain hotbars to only appear in combat?

crimson crystal
#

Do I have to grind every beast tribe individually all the way to bloodsworn?

faint flare
#

If you want to yes

crimson crystal
#

Ah thought there was a quest to help with that

obsidian patio
#

@frank anchor make sure “Show only recently added items” isn’t checked

faint flare
#

There's a quest when you max out all tribes of that expansion era to get the final rank

frank anchor
#

are they all sold out? :P

faint flare
#

No

obsidian patio
#

You don’t have enough tomes

faint flare
#

You just dont have any

leaden ginkgo
#

You dont Hve any points to buy

frank anchor
#

oh so just ignore the Qty=0 thing

#

and start farming

faint flare
#

The quanity shows how many you currently have

#

In your inventory

frank anchor
#

ok so in order to get the currency for this vendor I just run the dungeons with the moogle icon next to it correct? do I get it on every run or is it a chance per run kind of thing

obsidian patio
#

Every run

#

Though you must do the dungeon synced

frank anchor
#

sweet

#

so healer time :P

karmic jolt
#

@static yacht probably, I just got like halfway through a guide for Monk and it made my head hurt.

static yacht
#

With ranged you dont have to worry about positionals, cast times or anything

#

And machinist is literally the same rotation everytime because it uses combos instead of procs

karmic jolt
#

The only thing I have to worry about as dancer is hitting the shiny buttons, not standing in fire, and getting my steps off quick.

forest laurel
#

just to be sure, if I go into an iLVL synced dungeon, it doesn't matter what gear I wear, right?

#

bc I have lvl 75 gear rn and I wanna go into the lvl 79 dungeon to get to 80 faster

static yacht
#

75 to 79 isnt a huge ilvl gap.

forest laurel
#

yeah but I'm a tank so the gear kinda does matter

#

I just don't wanna go in there and end up dying to wall to walls much quicker than expected

static yacht
#

Proper mitigation usage should still allow you to wall to wall

#

Especially if you are DRK or WAR

forest laurel
#

guess I'll just go do the dungeon then

#

and ye I do use my mitigation one by one

#

TBN whenever I can

static yacht
#

Yeah if you're doing drk

#

Literally walk in the park

#

Tbn is busted

faint flare
#

Gear doesn't sync up

forest laurel
#

aight then

faint flare
#

Only down

forest laurel
#

well shit

#

I think my best bet would be to just go for the lvl 77 dungeon then?

faint flare
#

Lesser gear makes some larger pulls more sketch but proper mitigation cycling helps

static yacht
#

Just do the 79

faint flare
#

Just do 79 and be abit more cautious

forest laurel
#

aight

karmic jolt
#

No sense in spending hundreds of K on a set that you are about to replace. Do the 79 bow out if you are getting rekt

pine bluff
#

when can I get to limsa lominsa to get rogue, if I started in uldah?

static yacht
#

Use abyssal drain as a heal rather than damage

karmic jolt
#

Lower Decks next to the Fishing Gud

#

Guild*

faint flare
#

You need to do story

#

To get access to other cities

#

Lv15 msw

pine bluff
#

ah ok

karmic jolt
#

Oh I didnt know he wasn't there yet, sorry

crimson wind
#

ShB tomestones are unlocked right at 80 yeah? No story completion needed?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

crimson wind
#

neat

tawny dune
#

Guys where can i buy the registration code?

heavy jasper
#

does the ARR story boost also complete the crystal tower raid quests?

fresh lodge
#

No

frank anchor
#

strictly does the MSQ ones only

pine bluff
#

is there anything else to do with old outleveled gear other than selling them?

tawny dune
#

Im a returning player and trying to create a new account, am i supposed to buy a copy online to get the registration code?

spark igloo
#

I have over 600+ points from the Fashion Report, but the Spring Bottoms don't appear in the Boutique.

I don't know why this is

obsidian patio
#

@tawny dune yes

unkempt oasis
#

so what the end game activate in this game?

leaden ginkgo
#

one question about the free starter edition on the PS Store
when I tried to acquire it, it said that it can't be done because I already have it (since I've downloaded the free trial)
Am I unable to claim it?

fluid tinsel
#

how do i turn off auto next for story text

pine bluff
#

space bar

#

during the cutscene

fluid tinsel
#

ok thanks!

clever rune
#

@leaden ginkgo It SHOULD have converted your free trial into the starter edition

obsidian patio
#

@unkempt oasis not sure on what you’re asking, Do you want to know what endgame content is at 80?

lime sphinx
#

whats gonna happen to the ishgard restoration dyes ?

leaden ginkgo
#

but I haven't received any code :(
oh well the game is downloading again cuz I'm stupid and thought that if I deleted the game it would fix

#

I'll try to log in when it finishes

lime sphinx
#

i'm in love with the turquoise blue, but the only way to get some is from scrips, and they'll be gone one day

clever rune
#

@leaden ginkgo Did you search it on the store and press download? And then it said you can't install it?

#

Cause if so, when you log into the game, it will ask you to register the full game

#

And it's just there for you to select

knotty tartan
#

I thought you download the full game with the free trial you just can't unlock anything past 35

clever rune
#

You do

obsidian patio
#

@lime sphinx there’s no evidence that the restoration will be removed entirely when its ‘done’

clever rune
#

By "Downloading" the full game, you're essentially just removing that barrier

obsidian patio
#

At the bare minimum I expect the rewards to be moved to somewhere else

fallow fable
#

is there any specific place to look for social linkshells? flushedvibecheck

obsidian patio
#

Or for the turn-ins to simply stay and it just doesn’t advance the restoration anymore

shell mauve
#

Hello, was wondering if i NEED to hand in HQ items for airships building. And what happens if i do not.

obsidian patio
#

FC airships? They can be NQ

leaden ginkgo
#

well I can install it, but when I clicked "buy" when the free trial was installed it said that it wasn't possible 'cause I already had it

obsidian patio
#

You just randomly sometimes get materials back when you use more HQ stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

anyway, thanks for answering anyway and I'll update you guys when it finishes

knotty tartan
#

Your just basically getting the "keys" you need to unlock everything. Kinda like the difference between a disc game and digital

shell mauve
#

Does it effect the quality if the airship ventures etc or is it just to make the materials less for it in the next phase

clever rune
#

@leaden ginkgo It should just let you register the full game once you next log in, let us know

raw solstice
#

it doesn't affect quality of ventures or anything, just can reduce materials required to build

shell mauve
#

Oh alright

#

Thanks ❤️

feral bough
#

anybody got a spreadsheet i can search for food stats?

mystic trout
#

How do you calculate the overall potency of a regen?

obsidian patio
#

Divide the duration by 3 and that’s the total number of ticks for a heal or damage over time

raw solstice
#

^ since both HoTs and DoTs tick every 3s

obsidian patio
#

So Regen heals for a total of 1,200 potency over 18 seconds

mystic trout
#

Ah alright

#

Makes sense now why Medica II would be used over Cure III then

sick crag
#

Trying to install the game and "The server is not responding" comes all the time

#

way to fix this or wait

faint flare
#

Cause cure 3 range is pathetic

#

And costs a ton of mana

forest laurel
#

@pine bluff late, but you can desynthesise the gear when you unlock that and get some materials that you can sell, or you can give it to your retainer when it's high enough level to wear it. for ventures
or you could store it on a retainer for the future when you're levelling an alt job

slim remnant
#

Yeah, Cure III often just isn't helpful when it should be due to the colossal mana cost and the godawful range. It's even less helpful because XIV is ass at tracking moving targets, so if you needed a big panic aoe heal, well.

Cure III often ain't gonna do jack diddly shit unless the group is actually COMPLETELY STACKED.

tawny dune
#

Just bought the game 10 mins ago, do you guys know why do i keep getting the entered code is invalid

sick crag
#

Just bought the game 10 mins ago, do you guys know why do i keep getting the entered code is invalid
@tawny dune *

Same shit happened to me

#

Keep trying and eventually it might work

+wait till you try to install the actual thing thats the hardest part of the game

#

Its trial and error until maybe finally just Maybe it downloads itself

tawny dune
#

Oh god, it worked after i did it from mog station

#

Ah yes, didnt thought i would be able to play the game that easily

sick crag
#

: D

#

I mean why would you want to play the game you just bought

obsidian patio
#

That generally appears if you try to play on the steam launcher with a non-steam license or vice versa

left sapphire
#

hello guys. can anyone talk to me a bit in dms?

#

haha lol. that sounds fun

obsidian patio
#

@grim shell entirely community done, you’ll have to ask the people that do them

indigo orbit
#

Actual concerts or just some dude spamming perform in Limsa

tawny dune
#

Should i install the game from the website instead of steam then? @obsidian patio

obsidian patio
#

If you’re have a non-steam license, then yes.

#

Bots playing midi files

left sapphire
#

hmmm

#

can anyone tell me what gear to get and what to do

#

to get to 50 ?

faint flare
#

Could also be the ensemble fearure as well

obsidian patio
#

@left sapphire for combat or crafting/gathering classes?

left sapphire
#

combat

#

i want to focus on lvl 50 and completing story after

#

(bought the ARR skip thingy)

#

i'm 27 atm

obsidian patio
#

Mostly just vendor gear and dungeon loot then

#

The gear vendors in the main city-state marketplaces have gear from 1 to 50

left sapphire
#

okiii. what dungeons should i do also?

#

the ones that match my level more or less ?

#

or is there a specific one?

faint flare
#

@near meteor dungeon learn rate is only guaranteed if you do it synced, meaning you'll need a full party

obsidian patio
#

Pretty much, queue for the dungeon closest to your level and maybe the one before that if it helps speed up queue time

left sapphire
#

ooh oki fam

#

thanks for you help !

Get a full light party, turn off undersized party and que in

#

Yes

#

Blue needs a full party to que in synced

#

But it makes all spells guaranteed to learn

#

In any instance

#

Great for doing primal spells

dreamy juniper
#

what channel do i ask people for raids n stuff

static yacht
#

What kind of raids?

#

You could try party finder in game

errant palm
#

I have a question about the free ARR base game on PS4 right now, if anyone is familiar with how PS4/PC account linking works

vocal roost
#

So I'm new and i keep getting kicked out of the server in ff is that normal or should i be fixing something?

pearl wharf
#

can you give mgp cards to others?

errant palm
#

@vocal roost definitely not normal! You shouldn't be getting kicked, I would look up the error code it gives you

vocal roost
#

It's either 9002 or 9006

static yacht
#

@errant palm you have one mog station account, and you buy a license for steam, pc or ps4

obsidian patio
#

@pearl wharf nope

static yacht
#

You cannot play on steam if you have a pc license etc.

#

If you buy the expansion for PC, you still need to buy it for ps4

errant palm
#

@static yacht do you know if the 30 days you get from the free ps4 version right now adds to your current sub on pc? it should right?

obsidian patio
#

90002 is a general connection error from the client side

static yacht
#

I believe so, sub is independent from license

#

And various threads on /r/ff14 have confirmed it

errant palm
#

Thats great! Welp, time to link my accounts

static yacht
#

Yeah top comment in the thread for the free starter confirms

vocal roost
#

Hi im looking to get back into the game what is the dungeon content like is it still braindead easy? Because thats what made me quit last time as im not interested in raiding and ended up being disapointed with the dungeon content because of how easy it was

Dungeons are still casual content

DNC does not have relic gear at 70

if you're looking for the 80 relic gear

You need to go to grendolt

grendolt has all the 80 relic gear for free provided you've completed the relevant role quests and have the job at 80

shrewd relic
#

ahh i see thank you!

warped nest
#

If a job didn't exist when that particular expansion was introduced, then the job don't have relics from that expansion

#

For example, Dark Knight is introduced in Heavensward, so it has relics in HW, SB, and ShB, but not ARR (ARR is not expansion but that's not the point here)

#

Another example, 6.0 Jobs will not have relics in ARR, HW, SB, ShB at all, only in 6.0

wintry chasm
#

Samurai that came out in SB doesn't have a ARR or HW relic

#

@frank anchor Yes, for ARR the first star is from MSQs and the second is from riding maps. Bear in mind that you can gets those easily with allied seals outside of the moogle event, and with the next patch ARR zones will have flying so they will be somewhat obsolete. So I recommend prioritizing the more rare stuff from the moogle event such as mounts.

There's a fair amount to juggle

Glamour FAQ
Info

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

primal relic
#

I don’t know anything so not sure what these are. Like says I gain Grani Mount, Wind-Up Fran, and Revolver Gunbreaker Weapon(does that mean I can get gunbreaker early?)

warped nest
#

no

#

it is for fashion only

#

you still need to unlock gunbreaker like how everyone else does it

#

grani mount is something you can ride around the map, once you unlock the option to ride mount at lvl 20-ish

#

Wind-Up Fran is a minion, it is just a lil toy that will follow you around

#

if you aren't sure, you can just get the standard edition

primal relic
#

Is grani mount anything great compare to what o get normally? Excluding looks that is.

warped nest
#

then paid the difference later to upgrade to collector in your mogstation

all mounts are the same speed and all can fly

warped nest

it is just for looks

primal relic

I currently have standard for os4 that they gave away for free

#

So I’m asking question atm debating if I should just buy dlc separately, bundle or in collector

warped nest
#

Shadowbringers include all previous expansion

you don't need to buy Heavensward and Stormblood seperately (you can't anyway digitally)

faint flare
#

Just Shadowbringers would be the cheapest

warped nest

don't get complete edition either, it is just ARR (which you already own) + Shadowbringers

Can always upgrade to collectors later

Materia & Melding FAQ
Info

How can I get my gear melded?

If you only need melds for visible Materia slots, then any NPC melder in any major city marketplace will do. They're marked on the map with a Blue Materia icon. If you want to Advance meld your crafted gear, then you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

As a rule of thumb, the secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Let’s say I have my freebie 30 and get another 30 will it replace or stack?

crystal briar
#

noob qustion my freind thinks that having more int on his white mage will give him more dps is that true the charcter sheet says only in dps role so im confused

raw solstice
#

INT has zero effect for healers. MND is their main stat, increasing both healing and damage

warped nest
#

if your friend is not convinced, ask them to search for high level (like lvl 70) white mage gear and weapon on the marketboard

#

see what stats are on it

obsidian patio
#

sounds like they may be an old player or read up on pre-4.0 healers as back then healer damage did scale based on int and they used a skill called Cleric Stance to swap their INT/MND amounts

primal relic
#

I assume as a newbie I can’t use RAF? Unless I have a friend playing?

warped nest
#

low level ARR gears have a lot of mixed stats

obsidian patio
#

you can use anyone's RAF code, they don't need to be a friend.

crystal briar
#

that is what i thought so clarify one more thing he seems to think that if he does not q as healer like unsyeced his role is not a healer i was under the impression that white mage is always a healer role just hard coded

warped nest
#

people offer their RAF number on reddit or even here for players to grab

obsidian patio
#

You can't change the role of your job.

#

A Warrior is always a tank, a Red Mage is always a DPS, and a White Mage is always a healer.

warped nest
#

open character window, look at Job and Classes

#

this game doesn't go with mix skill/function design other games have employed

#

you cannot build your custom healer with DPS emphasis

better to ask than to just assume

crystal briar

yea that what i thought lol

pallid eagle
#

What makes dragoon easiest dps class ?

crystal bluff
#

It's honestly all subjective

warped nest
#

i would say it is easier to practice and track your resources (just among the melee DPS), seeing that at lvl 80, you are alternating between 2 different 5-hit combo and you only have 1 gauge to maint (which is super easy)

#

but in real combat scenario though...

pseudo quest
#

How long does it usually take to go through all of coil unsynced? Wondering how long I should set aside

#

Probably wouldn't be a full party

warped nest
#

if everyone done their homework ... probably half a day ish

obsidian patio
#

The fights themselves go by super fast, but if you're watching cutscenes then maybe 2 or 3 hours

#

assuming this is like a party of level 80 people

pseudo quest
#

So with skipping cutscenes, prob under 2 hours?

obsidian patio
#

definitely.

pseudo quest
#

it'd be lvl 80 people probably, but maybe just a few. IDK how many ppl would come along thru PF tbh

obsidian patio
#

tbh you just need one or two level 80 people

#

just make sure to advertise that you have first time bonus and that you're doing all turns and people will flock for those poetics.

#

(just don't bother with Binding Coil turn 3 as that has no rewards at all)

pseudo quest
#

I don't need to do all of them to "finish" it?

obsidian patio
#

You only need to do the last one of each section to complete it.

#

So binding coil turn 5, second coil turn 4, and final coil turn 4

#

otherwise known as T5, T9, and T13

pseudo quest
#

oh I see

obsidian patio
#

Only coil is like this since it gives all the parts of a tier at once.

warped nest
#

you are free to do the whole set just for the heck of it

#

cuz why not?

pseudo quest
#

do I need to do quests between the different turns/coils to unlock further parts?

warped nest

yes...

#

cuz it is a quest line

#

Alright before I start making my char, and spending the rest of my quarantine in FF, is there anything I should know as a newbie?

potent tapir
#

The game starts off fairly slow mechanically but can snowball for newbies

obsidian patio
#

Normal sidequests are pretty poor for experience and not worth doing for the most part once you have dungeons unlocked at level 15 in the story.

#

Blue + Quests means it unlocks content of some kind, like class/job actions, dungeons, or content like dyeing gear and the glamour system

#

Main Scenario/Story Quests is the game's main storyline and are mandatory to do, as a majority of content is locked behind it like expansions and endgame content.

pallid eagle
#

Hmm so now DRG/BLM is up there

primal relic
#

I will probably try to do everything in an area and side line main.

#

Since I tend to ignore MQ most of the time.

warped nest
#

combat tips: read your tooltips, potency of a skill is their power relative to each other.

#

so 100 potency skill is half the power of a 200 potency skill

leaden ginkgo
#

biggest thing IMO that a lot of players miss, is leveling your Grand Comapny, which you'll be introduced to during the main story quest (MSQ)- they do mention it, but don't put much emphasis. Particularly pay attention to your hunting log, which can be accessed in the lower right- you'll have one log for the class you choose, and one log for your grand company (eventually)

warped nest
#

do your Hall of Novice stuff, it should be available very early on, it will teach you about the basics on combat, and you get decent gears that will last you a while

#

to add on Wynne's advise on doing your msq, your class/job quests are just as important

#

doing them sometimes unlock new skills

#

final tip: seeing that we are talking skills, all skills are useful (ignoring the 2-3 exceptions) so don't remove skills out of your hotbar because you think it is weaker

primal relic
#

Alright so is hall of company like one of those squad micromanaging mini games? Where you send em off to do stuff for x hrs or something?

leaden ginkgo
#

^ some skills will also seem weak for a time at points, potentially too weak to last long into the end of the game. However, (at least for PLD, and what I've seen in research), they will usually be upgraded later on to make up for that. Basically just reiterating, don't remove skills because of that too

#

hall of company? is that hall of the novice or grand company? 😛

#

and no, neither there

primal relic
#

Grand comp lol

leaden ginkgo
#

hall of the novice is whbere you learn stuff basically

#

whereas grand company things you basically just level through gameplay

warped nest
#

Grand Companies are the 3 military forces of the 3 starting cities

leaden ginkgo
#

^

warped nest
#

you will join one of them (personal choice, don't even need to be the same as your starting city) and rank up

#

ranking up gives you a lot of convenience and resources

#

it is important, but for now, just do msq and bluequest

leaden ginkgo
#

and due to how the Hunting Log (an integral part) is designed, it's much easier to do while leveling, rather then having to go out of your way later

#

^

#

Yeah I may be forgetting how long it takes to unl;ock

primal relic
#

Oh I think I get it a bit, in a way it’s like faction and I’m doing X to gain loyalty points. And will playing mainly healer hinder me in anyways as I play?

leaden ginkgo
#

@warped nest you would answer far better there^ iirc it does, but I don't know specifics at all xp

#

and it's still totally doable, from what I understand

warped nest
#

nope

#

in the context of msq it doesn't matter which combat jobs you play

leaden ginkgo
#

I had just heard that sometimes solo encounters can get a bit tedious is all

warped nest
#

it only matters when you got into dungeons and raids

#

just slightly

leaden ginkgo
#

kk cool

#

Probably over emphasised when i heard that then

#

worth noting there are boons to healer too, most notably in that your ques are often instant. Like, literally instant, you click the button and go xD (assuming it's a popular enough thing)

#

tbh, in doing the msq whatever time you lose in having slightly slower solo fights is probably made up with that ^

primal relic
#

Oh I heard MQ is solo only? And that I can do anything else w/ peeps?

leaden ginkgo
#

sort of. The MSQ is solo only yes, but it has a ton of dungeons/trials (the latter you'll understand soon enough) that require multiple people

wintry chasm
#

^

#

But generally questing is easy enough to be solo and there are solo only instances in it

warped nest
#

you can form a party with a friend to explore the open map and what not

#

but within your MSQ cutscene and what not, your friend doesn't exist

leaden ginkgo
#

basically, much of it is solo only, but it would be essentially impossible to avoid what, a fourth of your enocunters being with other ppl?

#

maybe more like 1/6th 1/5th or so

#

depending on how you break it up

#

however, the party finder is good enough, and old content popular enough, that you can make do with random groups for all of that just fine

primal relic
#

Okie dokie does the RAF have to be new player? Can it w/ existing players.

warped nest
#

don't be shy in stating in dungeons that you are completely new to this

just level up your weaver

#

not worth getting the higher tier lvl 70 crafting gear to unlock a book

vivid cosmos
#

Darn. Was hoping to craft a coat in that book. Okay thank you!

pallid eagle
warped nest
#

crafter/gatherers have their own endgame progression too, @vivid cosmos

#

so there are multiple tiers of lvl 50, 60, 70, and 80 gears

#

your all level 70 are probably on the lower end of lvl 70 crafter gear

#

@pallid eagle what's the question?

fluid tinsel
#

what stats in order should i priortize as a paladin

vivid cosmos
#

Yeah I have goldsmith at 80 with the best gear atm. I was just trying to be lazy shrugs I'll just have to buckle down and level up I guess

leaden ginkgo
#

assuming your new, you can just hit the "recomended gear" button and get going as long as you always choose gear usable for your class @fluid tinsel . stat prioritization is much more of an endgame content thing

warped nest
#

for endgame

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
fluid tinsel
#

oh im just asking cause i m attaching materia

leaden ginkgo
#

I hope at level 80 :p

#

since you don't really need to below that

oblique yew
#

At what level do I get to raid dungeons?

warped nest
#

lvl 15 msq

slate arrow
#

oh raids aren't until level 50

faint flare
#

Raids start at 50

slate arrow
#

leveling dungeons start at 15

oblique yew
#

I'm level 20 and still doing fetch quests

warped nest
#

lvl 15 msq

#

don't grind your class for level

slate arrow
#

when we refer to level, we're usually referring to MSQ level

#

your level means jack squat unless you also finish the relevant MSQ

warped nest
#

you can level your pokemon to level 30 by killing bugs and birds, but it mean nothing if you don't finish the first gym

#

same deal here

leaden ginkgo
#

also, in my experience the MSQ had much more interesting quests too :p

warped nest
#

sidequest is very optional

#

side quests with unlockables are marked with bluequest

oblique yew
#

Is there a faster way to get levequest(idk what's it called) allowances?

leaden ginkgo
#

you really don't need them :p

#

like, I've done levequests like, once or thrice? and never even needed that

oblique yew
#

Then how do I register those quests?

#

Oh

leaden ginkgo
#

which?

oblique yew
#

I'm those levequest for gil

leaden ginkgo
#

oh you don't need gil either

#

certainly not at your level

#

you get more then enough in the msq

slate arrow
#

you only get 3 levequests allowances per 12 hours

#

they're not very good for EXP as a combat class

#

since they buffed dungeon EXP way back when

leaden ginkgo
#

(and get like, quadruple whatever your getting by the end of msq)

warped nest
#

for combat class, they are fine if you only needed just a tad exp to level up

#

but levequest are significantly more useful for crafters/gatherers

oblique yew
#

Ahh. Okie

errant forum
#

Ok so question, what stats are really good for a DRG to materia meld? And I know its crit first and foremost, but what if your weapon is maxed out on crit?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah, do the MSQ and you'll be fine :p. the most complex thing outside of that is the Grand Company tbh I think

oblique yew
#

So as you progress through the game, do you buy weapons or do you just get them as quest rewards?

leaden ginkgo
#

just ge tthem

#

you don't need to buy anything till like, end game basically

#

(again, outside of crafting)

slate arrow
#

quest rewards are good enough

warped nest
#

dungeons can drop weapons

leaden ginkgo
#

that too

warped nest
#

you can get weapons from your GC too

leaden ginkgo
#

Mind, don't farm dungeons for waepons

#

but it's a nice bonus

warped nest
#

at lvl 50, 60, 70 msq , we recommed getting the poetic tomestone gears because they last a good while

oblique yew
#

What is grand company?

wary forge
#

Is there only one instance in the Nier raid chain so far?

leaden ginkgo
#

you'll encounter them in the msq @oblique yew

oblique yew
#

Okie

jade quartz
#

They're NPC factions

leaden ginkgo
#

How do you pentameld something

#

when you choose one, let us know and at that point we'd likely give specifics

slate arrow
#

@wary forge yes

#

@leaden ginkgo have the relevant crafter leveled or know a friend

leaden ginkgo
#

I have the crafter levelled

slate arrow
#

then it's a % chance of having the materia slot in after the green slots

oblique yew
#

Aye aye

leaden ginkgo
#

Can I like use a bunch of 7s

slate arrow
#

did you do the overmeld unlock quest as well

leaden ginkgo
#

Retrieve them then out in 8s?

#

Or do I have to bet on the low chance

warped nest
#

it is RNG

desert ravine
slate arrow
#

item level

warped nest
#

item level

twilit arch
#

that's item level

warped nest
#

iLvL for short

desert ravine
#

oh got it thanks

warped nest
#

item level is the power level of your gears and your character

wary forge
#

Isn't materia melding universal across all crafters?

slate arrow
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

(it's hard to see, but theres a small "I" nect to the word level @desert ravine )

slate arrow
#

you just need one at 80 now

wraith plaza
#

hey debating on buying this game, is there a yearly version of this game? if not how much is it a month? also how is the "guild system" look for a new mmorpg

slate arrow
#

up to 14.99 dollars a month

#

down to 12.99 per month with the entry sub or buying 180 days in bulk

desert ravine
#

yeah, that small I is so hard to see, my eyes just ignored it! currently item level 71. guess im good for some hard stuff

slate arrow
#

guild system is convenient but not required

#

it's called Free Companies here

leaden ginkgo
#

Mind, you don't really need to worry about ilevel at your point @desert ravine - your ilevel should be fine till end game, as long as you buy poetics gear when you get the chance and even if not it should be a major issue

wraith plaza
#

i prefer guilds, i like being apart of little groups in mmos like this, is there any way to play the game likea trial if i've already played for only an hour like months ago?

#

would I have to make a new account/

leaden ginkgo
#

(assuming you upgrade your gear with quest rewards whenever you get them)

new accounts can access the free trial up to level 35 on all jobs and classes in the base game

wraith plaza
#

are there events for free company?

slate arrow
#

with some restricted social features

wraith plaza
#

oh cool

slate arrow
#

no

wraith plaza
#

so whats the use of free company?

desert ravine
#

thanks for the advice, dont really know what poeitcs is for now, will read about it later!

slate arrow
#

convienence

#

Free Companies have access to 24 hour perks which increase EXP gains and other stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

@desert ravine I mentioned it since in your image it says "level 50"- your first poetics stuff should be pretty soon assuming your close to that level

slate arrow
#

also, you can use Airships and Submaries to fetch rare materials if you own an FC house

#

However, Free Trial characters cannot join a Free Company

leaden ginkgo
#

basically poetics are the currency to get end game gear, and since there is an "end game" every ten levels (for each expansion), theres poetics gear you can get fairly easily at levels 50/60/70/80

wraith plaza
#

oh ok

leaden ginkgo
#

(well, at 80 you'll probably be looking for higher end things too unless they pull a miracle and release the next expansion within 2 months, but you get the idea I think)

dense pier
#

I just reached the 3rd to last rank of my GC

#

and I am a commander of some squad

#

how do i send people out

#

All I see in here are enlistment papers, 3 soldiers that show me their gear

slate arrow
#

go into your squadron room and talk to the person next to the table

#

once you complete the tutorial you can send them out on missions every 18 hours

dense pier
#

im not getting the ability to do a tutorial from him

#

he's just telling me complete more challenges, get new recruits

#

entlistment papers are empty

slate arrow
#

oh then do your challenge log

#

every challenge you do on your challenge log has a % chance to get a recruit

#

easiest way is to spam the Gold Saucer a few times

jade quartz
#

You get recruits by completing your challenge log in most of the categories.

dry ocean
#

Do I need an EU or US address if I purchase from the SE web?

slate arrow
#

no

jade quartz
#

Not if buying digital product

slate arrow
#

The three regions are NA, EU and other regions, and JP

#

EU covering everywhere that isn't NA or JP

dry ocean
#

i entered EU

#

so I can just put any address?

#

even if the country is different?

slate arrow

yes

cunning tapir
#

or are there more expansions not in this one

slate arrow
#

it'll give you two codes

#

the Starter Edition and Shadowbringers

#

if you read the desc. of shadowbringers you'll see it grants you all previous expansions

jade quartz
#

Complete Edition is complete.

#

You have everything.

unkempt oasis
#

so why there are limit beside blue magic?

slate arrow
#

pardon?

jade quartz
#

Blue Mage is a limited job

cunning tapir
#

do i need a sub too? like wow etc.

jade quartz
#

it's more like a side minigame sort of content

slate arrow
#

yes

jade quartz
#

@cunning tapir yes

slate arrow
#

Starter gives 30 days free

jade quartz
#

your game purchase comes with 30 days to get you started though

slate arrow
#

subsequent days are 12.99 up to 14.99 USD per 30 days

#

dunno the EU conversion

cunning tapir
#

ok so ill get evreything i need for 30 day all unlocked

unkempt oasis
#

i think there 15 says free when u get lvl 15

cunning tapir
#

thanskf or the advice appreciate

slate arrow
#

that's for preferred server characters only

jade quartz
#

Blue mage can currently only go up to level 60 (the cap for regular jobs is 80), has to learn its skills by fighting monsters and build up its spellbook, and cannot enter instances via random matchmaking--only premades.

unkempt oasis
#

preferred?

cunning tapir
#

prefered whats thios? :_

slate arrow
#

there are four statuses a server can have

jade quartz
#

Servers can be "Standard", "Congested", or "Preferred"

#

or "New"

slate arrow
#

Standard, Preferred, Congested, New

jade quartz
#

These statuses are applied at Square Enix's discretion

slate arrow
#

Both Preferred and New grant bonuses to new characters made on those servers

jade quartz
#

Congested servers are closed to new characters because of overpopulation

slate arrow
#

Congested you cannot make a new character or transfer to that server until the status is changed.

jade quartz
#

The preferred bonuses are an incentive to populate less-populated servers.

#

Don't worry that you'll end up in a dead server because of this.

slate arrow
#

though, preferred does not mean underpopulated

#

the population is pretty even nowdays anyways

jade quartz
#

Yeah

#

The incentives work

#

Servers seldom stay preferred for more than one major patch

#

the populations are always sorta going up and down slightly in step with one another

cunning tapir
#

whats best for new player, are pve spots oversued

jade quartz
#

pve spots?

cunning tapir
#

ill just play it and find out 🙂

jade quartz
#

Majority of PvE content of any significance is instanced.

#

For new players, a preferred server is recommended

#

for the exp bonus.

@@jade quartz yea i got lvl 40 in less than a 2 days

leaden ginkgo
#

I cant use my character

#

Since I dont have Shb on the PS4

jade quartz
#

We don't have leveling rotation guides for jobs other than BLM, because it's the only one that has such drastic (and frankly unintuitive) changes

leaden ginkgo
#

I want to die

slate arrow
#

@pallid eagle just as an FYI, only BLM has a leveling rotation guide because it's dumb

#

everything else you just use your combo actions

cunning tapir
#

any time savers or stuff to buy?

jade quartz
#

Like ingame items?

slate arrow
#

level skip and story skips but

#

if it's your first character, those are overkill

jade quartz
#

Not recommended

#

unless you're a type who just really doesn't care about story experience at all and purely wants to do endgame raids with zero distractions.

#

I wouldn't recommend it for the vast majority of people.

#

For ingame, follow your Main Scenario Quests msq with this icon

#

and also keep an eye out for blue quests with this icon bluequest

cunning tapir
#

okay cool,

#

thnaks

jade quartz
#

as they unlock features or content.

lavish vortex
#

Hi! I just accidentally equíped a weapon for a different class and all of my crossbars and hot bars changed, is there any way to get them back as they were? 😩

jade quartz
#

Regular sidequests sidequest are unimportant

sick zenith
#

Even if you dont care about story you gotta practice your first class

#

At least

jade quartz
#

@lavish vortex equip the weapon for your original class.

slate arrow
#

and job stone

jade quartz
#

Your class is determined by your currently equipped weapon.

cunning tapir
#

any good professions to do as you level? like resource gathering stuff?

slate arrow
#

completely optional

jade quartz
#

Remember to always save your equipment as a gear set.

sick zenith
#

@cunning tapir yes theres mining fishing and botany

jade quartz
#

In this game we have crafting and gathering classes instead of professions

slate arrow
#

personally, I wouldn't recommend leveling crafters and gatherers until you reach the end of the MSQ first

sick zenith
#

Theres also crafting classes

jade quartz
#

also called Disciples of the Hand/Land

lavish vortex
#

@jade quartz already did, but everything changed

sick zenith
#

@slate arrow why is that?

slate arrow
#

you kinda have to do them all at once

jade quartz
#

Crafting and gathering classes are their own game.

#

Indepth, with their own quests and stories, their own skills and rotations, and their own gear.

sick zenith
#

Ye ive been doing crafting

#

Just wondering why its not recommended until post 50 msq

jade quartz
#

They don't really provide significant benefits when you're still leveling

#

and are a time sink

cunning tapir
#

are there any mods i should get for levelling you recon? 🙂

slate arrow
#

also, crafting and gathering become significantly easier to level once you finish 3.3

jade quartz
#

They're for being self-sufficient and money making

slate arrow
#

mods are against TOS

sick zenith
#

Ahh well im investing little bits of time as I go

cunning tapir
#

ok ok

jade quartz
#

This game doesn't have addons except for ACT (parser)

sick zenith
#

Why does 3.3 unlock a place to turn in crafts?

slate arrow
#

yes

jade quartz
#

Yes, Ishgardian Restoration

slate arrow
#

Ishgard Restoration

lavish vortex
#

Hi! I just accidentally equíped a weapon for a different class and all of my crossbars and hot bars changed, is there any way to get them back as they were? 😩 I already equipped my original weapon

sick zenith
#

Interesting

#

Thabks for the insight

jade quartz
#

@lavish vortex did you equip your job stone again?

#

Bottom-right gear slot in your character sheet

lavish vortex
#

The job stone did it! I love you man!!!

jade quartz
#

Make sure to save your gear set.

sick zenith
#

Make sure to save that set

jade quartz
#

Changing classes normally is done by switching gear sets.

sick zenith
#

And then you can apply it to a hotbar for easier switching later

jade quartz
#

You can put gear sets on your hotbar.

lavish vortex
#

Done, and the hot bars and crossbars are linked (and automatically saved) for those ser gears?

sick zenith
#

I have 1 specific crossbar set thats just gear sets for all my classes

slate arrow
#

hotbars are tied to the job or class unless it's set to shared

sick zenith
#

Fyi though crossbara 1 to 3 are class specific

#

4 and up are global

slate arrow
lavish vortex
#

Got it

sick zenith
#

So set your gearsets to 4 or up

warped nest
#

Half and half should be fine

lavish vortex
#

@sick zenith you mean 4 or down, no?

sick zenith
#

The default is 4 to 8 global
