Non-shared hotbars change when you switch class. These are for your combat skills.
Shared hotbars are static across classes.
So non-combat-related stuff that you use regardless of your current class should go there.
So use a shared hotbar for things like gearsets, mounts, stuff youll use on any class
So, everything like calling my mount or sprint should be in 4 or up, right?
Gearsets should go on a shared hotbar
Shared: general purpose
Sprint can go on a shared bar, or you can just make sure it's in the same place for every job in non-shared
Not shared: job specific stuff
depending on how you like stuff laid out
But gear sets are job specific, right? Why should they go on shared ones?
Tfw have double tap L2 crossbar w/ mount and teleport globally
Changing gearset
Maximum convenience
@lavish vortex it's a button to switch jobs
so you have a bar with all your jobs lined up
Lets you line up all the gear for a class and equip it all with one press later
@lavish vortex to future proof this, put your shared stuff in 8-10, and make the rest unshared
The grey/white buttons on the right-hand side
That’s advanced stuff haha I’m still finishing my first play through with lance
in Industrial's screenshots
It is easier to go from unshared to shared
those are the gear set buttons.
If you right click or square on PS4, and open the context menu
ive purchased the game
Most of the things allow you to make a hotbar button out of them
@dry ocean welcome
This includes recipes, items, certain menu command, etc
it says my account needs to be the same region as the se acc
Ill make a hotbar button out of you Lchronos
Nice, after I finish my first playthrough I’m gonna try conjured and keep all this in mind
Thank you so much guys
@dry ocean you bought off the EU Square Enix store right?
yes
Have fun agustin
@dry ocean let me guess, NA PSN, EU/other regions mogstation?
can you buy off the Australian PSN with an NA account?
yeah
Oh
but they're using an NA PSN account
Playstation
pc
another acc?
What region is your SE account?
EU key must be used on an EU account
in this case EU refers to everywhere that is not NA or JP
which includes australia
new account? or do I just need to change my region in my acc
probably?
keke
This is what my account info page looks like
"Europe & Other Regions"
aka EU account
SE didnt make it very ergonomic
can i change how the gear look like?
!faq glamour
'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.
may i ask can u raise the speed of ur mount? if yes where can i find it in gridania?
mount speed is earned through MSQ
for the first level
and then the 2nd level can be bought with allied seals
or the itinerant moogle
using the moogle tomestones
but do i have to unlock it?
granted by 5.3 this will be largely useless since you will get flight in ARR areas
you have to unlock the first level via msq yes
oh so i dont have to raise them anymore?
you can't fly until heavenswards
ahh
for now
you also have to basically explore the whole zone to be able to fly in it
When can I start optiminizing my job
I see youtubers getting crits like 90% of the time and i wanna do that
How hard are the Alexander Savage Raids via duty finder? I've been able to with some work do many of the Extreme Trials from ARR and HW via Duty Finder, though not easy - I want to know how feasible it is so I have them done for completion sake - gotta get those check marks in duty finder
Enjoy wiping over and over to farm crit rng
Very hard
No one ever uses duty finder for extremes, savage, ultimate, minsitral ballad or binding coils content
Cause theres actual mechanics that wipe people very easily
Savage is a step up from extremes
Just do them unsync with lv80s
You can meld whenever, its just more a thing a cap
No one seems interested so far from my time in party finder, so no luck there but I won't count on duty finder then

Advertise like bonus or stuff
Or just come back at 80 and grab a few friends to roll over them
Is there a way for me to check if I own standard? And that I’m not just goin crazy and playing free trial lol.
The page you log into, if you scroll down it'll show the licenses you own
Is screen posting allow?
Yes, as long as its relevant to questions
So um this means I own standard correct?
Yes
Thnxs!
Always check Mogstation when you're curious with account stuff
Well most of it looks too confusing for me till I get use to the layout and stuff.
I've been away from the game for more than 6 years. Back then FFXIV App was a thing. I noticed there hasn't been much mention of it lately. Is it now banned or is there a replacement?
I found the github and it seems still active
Yeah I have the mobile app it's bad
Registering it to your FFXIV account gets you an emote and an extra favoured teleport destination slot though
That's the only reason I have it
At the start of the game there was this message that I can collect rewards for achievements from some person in gridania
Jonahas in Old gridina
Oh wow I'm looking at this xivapp thing which I assume you were talking about
I don't remember anyone ever using this lmao
What functionality are you missing?
Yeah, xivapp. Was useful for chat actually. Limit of 4 chat windows was annoying
how to fly and where i can fly?
!faq mountflying
urk
E.g. Someone was sending me tells, but I had to step away and have no way to see what the last message was without scrolling through a massive general chat log since I was in town
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
'What zones can I fly in?'
Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.
@eternal sable just put your tells in another tab then
xivapp is defunct
There's not really much reasonable reason to need more than four chat tabs
Okay, thanks. That's what I was checking for. I think there is, personally. General, Battle, Tells, LS, FC, etc
Battle tab is not useful.
Can I extend Life of the dragon
Or do I have to reapply it after it ends
Btw I’m asking this stuff here because #endgame-lounge is dead atm
!faq blmleveling
@midnight slate you begin to ramp up to your next LotD window.
LotD is a burst phase.
Yeah
My se acc wont log in on the system management acc
Life is the same time as your Blood timer, then you get the trait at 78(?) that extends it to max when you enter it
But if I logged it in on the store web it works
@pallid eagle you're missing Foul, which is used in both single targrt and aoe prior to xenoglossy
Iirc there's 2 accounts @dry ocean , though I forget which is which and their functions, probably the issue
(we pretty much all agree it doesn't make sense, mind)
Unfortunately user interface on websites doesn't appear to be SEs forte
Well, on the two different places I think. But I just pointed that out to say the possible issue, not the possible fix- I'm not an expert on this, and I last did it a while ago. I need someone elses advice on how to go about doing it for you xp
Sorry, I just didn't want to leave you without any information at all for too ling
Thanksssss
@pallid eagle I don’t see Ley Lines, Between the Lines, Freeze, or Thunder 2/4 on your bar either. I also suggest putting blizzard 1 and transpose on your bar for low level dungeons you may get through leveling roulette.
@pallid eagle You're really gonna need three hotbars.
Stuff doesn't just get taken off.
(BLM arguably has the most stuff that can just be taken off, but then you're going to want it back again when level synced down)
ACT is the standard parser
There's only 1 real addon
and there are various overlays to use with it.
Which is that
This game does not have addons like WoW.
Fights are not designed around them like they are in WoW.
cause we like playing our game
Also any third-party programs, even ACT, are strictly speaking against the ToS
So don't discuss them ingame
and definitely don't harrass random players over their low dps numbers.
How often do new character slots open up? I want in on Ultros 😦
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
What is up with the crystal tower strike in the golden saucer place? Seems random how much MGP it gives?
Like it gave me 1k then 10, 25, 15, 15 then 1500
but now it always gives me 10-25
no matter which bit I hit
Is there a visual height comparison for the different races?
its a fixed payout
@autumn wigeon the 1k and 1.5k were from the challenge log
ohhh
based on your performance in the 'hammer toss'
@sick zenith This?
didn't notice, thanks
Thank you!!
Here's for the male ~ 
It even shows the max height
This is perfect
Im making an elezen when I fantasia and i wanted him to be shorter than roeg but not too small so i needed a frame of reference
Somehow I don't think a casino that was this generous with its "MGP" in real life would last long 🤣
yoooo
reading help pop ups and tool tips really made a difference. actually enjoying the game right now unlike when i just skipped stuff on other MMOs lol
i gotta do the battlehall thing for the gold saucer challenge log
are any of the battlehall triple triad nps particularly easy
npcs
Lyra is the easiest
what to spend in Rowena's Center in idyllshire with poetic tombstone more than needed?

!faq poetics
thanks!
i can't handle 3 hotbars only 2 and have one for AOE/ST and maybe low level dungeons
Can somebody help me wth the se account management
how do i configure my skills on ps4?
Ok so if i have someone trying to get into my account, How do i keep that from happening and it kicking me off everytime.
@pallid eagle That's not really an option.
All jobs will need at least three hotbars.
Do we have a LFG channel?
@leaden ginkgo do you mean set your skills on the crossbar?
Youll go to actions and skills in the menu, then select the skill in the menu and hit square
Then do the button combo you wanna set it to
@bitter acorn #recruitment-aether
oh well rip
@sick zenith ty
Yw
Is there any particular world I should join? Like xp+ new player server. And if I get collector do I get mount right away?
Is it better to teleport or use airship?
teleport = lazier, faster, more expensive
Hi, I want to level a lvl 50 Class and when you go to Duty Finder, it will always sync your level, yes? Question is- if I would go for Duty Roulette - 50/60/70 Dungeons instead of the DR - Levelling, am I going to get better experience from the former choice or the latter?
Just set each citys main aetheryte as a favored destination @oblique yew
Then its 300 a teleport tops instead of 600
50-70 roulette is not good for experience, its mainly there for tomestones
Leveling, then, eh? I mean better Gil and Seals, huh? Thank you!
Last question, sorry, but is there a feature such as Sort or Auto-Sort?
Both for my Inventory and my Retainer's?
Is jandelaine the best character of the game?
...uhh, a trading question. The Ballroom Etiquette stuff, is that tradable to people?
@wind kindle right click an item in the inventory > sort
Thank you!!
some of them can be sold/traded, yes @mossy haven
Thank ya. Wanted to gift something to a friend. 😛
if its a mogstation item, make sure you buy as a gift
At what level do I get a chocobo?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
around lvl20 in the MSQ
Hey how is it going! I am unable to change back to Paladin, can someone help me out?

You've got your paladin soul crystal, yes?

Oh gotcha, um, I will find it
Where do i find people for A9s light grind? Just in party finder?
Omg i love you two thank you!!
So frustrating could not google this for the life of me
equip soul crystal

@olive lintel yes you just put up that you're doing a light farm
can somebody help me 😦
Repost your question @dry ocean , if it was pushed back no one will no what to help you with :P. Even I assume it was what I was talking about earlier, but don't know for sure
I've bought a digital copy of shadowbringers(EU). if i try to enter the code- it says invalid. my mog acc is in EU as well.
you own the base game, correct?
I just got a dialogue choice in my gladiator class quest, I knew the answer but I'm curious what happens if I got it wrong?
are all MSQ in the expansions also not voice acted? Cuz so far in ARR, only couple MSQ are voice acted 😦
then you need to buy the starter edition
you need the starter edition first
shadowbringers is useless without first owning the base game
I thought everything is included
shadowbringers only includes the expansions
everything but the starter edition yes
not the base game
only old expansions not the base game
@calm flame the patches and expansions have increasing amounts of voice-acted scenes.
However nothing will ever be 100% voice-acted.
i see thanks :/
starter edition is the base game right?
yes
quick question about stats and cap: http://allaganstudies.akhmorning.com/stats/piety/ piety for healers- therefor hardcap @ 4340?

};

no expansions do not come with game time
ohh ok- thanksss
I'm starting 8 man raids and I'm pretty sure im going to be off tanking
what is my role usually
How do I transfer money to an alt?
in a lot of cases, there isn't really a difference between main tank and off tank beyond who pulls the boss first
in some fight as ot you are only a blue dps, in other you need to tank adds and it changes from duty to duty
If i can't do BLM would DRG be better choice or SAM ?
because there will be a tank swap at some point and the "off tank" will then start tanking the boss, and therefore become main tank
if you're the tank that is not currently tanking the boss, and there are no adds, you're basically just dpsing with tank stance off, waiting until a) your turn to provoke and tank, or b) for adds to show up
When tanking ADDs do i pull them to the side? or right on top with the MT
How do I transfer money to an alt?
@frank chasm u can use the market board for it or ask a friend to be the between
depends entirely on the fight
When tanking ADDs do i pull them to the side? or right on top with the MT
@fluid tinsel depends on the fight
are you going to be going into the current eden savage?
However, generally, If it is 1 big add, you pull it away
I'm going into castrum Meridianum and watching a guide on it right now
Especially when the add has some sort of tether/link to the boss
Oh, so you are a newbie? Playing through the story, at level 50?
@hot eagle how do I use the market board?
yep!
If that's the case, just let the other tank handle it
In that case, you are not going to be doing any end game raiding for a while
Castrum is not a raid, it is just an 8 man dungeon
yessir
ok, yeah
that is very old content, from 6 years ago, so everyone will be very overgeared
you don't have to worry about that very much
Yeah... Castrum are sorta kinda the prefix for garlean related stuff
@hot eagle how do I use the market board?
@frank chasm set a item to sell like an iron ore for 1000000 from the the char u want to move the money on and buy it from the char that has the money
😮
in leveling content (casual content), there is never any need for tank swaps. so if the other tank agrees to be main tank, you as off tank just leave tank stance off and DPS
You are a super genius
you'll start encountering 8-man trials soon after these 8-man story dungeons
But isn’t there a fee?
in those cases, there can still be adds sometimes and you can usually grab them and bring them anywhere
the story a realm reborn ends around at lvl 50 right?
Yellow, in terms of DPS, how does Red Mage fares?
the story will end with a few lv50 quests after you finish the lv49 quests, but then there's 100 quests from the 2 years between expansions, all level 50 as well
ok
But isn’t there a fee?
@frank chasm yes but its not too much but its better as to give the gil to some random to move it
What vendor sells bronze plates?
well i just got lvl locked by item lvl anyways so
Is the fee like 20k or 80k?
ill figure that out
Ty @trail rivet !
Because I was going to transfer like 5m
actually kyaeror, one correction. if someone else agrees to main tank an 8-man fight, leave tank stance off and DPS. BUT. if the main tank dies, be ready to turn it on and provoke the boss right away!
Who sells bronze plates?
probably more 20-80k since its 5% or 10% since buyer and seller need to pay a tax but its the safest option, only other way would be fc chest if both are in the same fc and got the rights for it or a friend/random that is inbetween @frank chasm
Who sells
bronze plates?
@dense pier https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Bronze_Plate check this site tells u which npc sells it
What's the easiest way to grind levels?
Fates/Roulettes/Hunts/Beast Tribes
And challenge logs
And if all done just dungeon spam xD
or leves, jobquests and ishgard if u ask for doh/dol also daily gc turn-in
hey guys what does interject do?
also potd/hoh for dps
how's it different to.. like stunning the target?
interject interrupts certain casts
and not all casts can be stunned
when the cast bar is flashing/pulsing, it means you can interrupt it with interject
so im item lvl locked out of a main quest. however im using my strongest items. is there a way to get stronger items or increase the streghth of my items

@forest pilot do your jobquests the lvl50 jobquests gives u a coffer with ilvl90 gear
oh yea my job quest. i forgot to do that
is it worth levelling hand/land classes early on
or is it better to leave them til im high level
How profitable is Mining alone?
Wait until you got a mount and a bunch of aether teleport spots at the least
Mounts help a lot
ah ok
especially once you finish a lot of the MSQ
you get extra mount speed
so you're even faster
Leveling gathering/crafting is super easy today anyways. Even ignoring grand company turn-ins and ixali beast tribe (50 only), you can just use well-researched Leve gather/craft quests and just bounce from tier to tier
Like I literally zoomed my way from 1 to 50 mining
just buy vendor gather gear to fill the levels
I mean, if you wait till you get later level you have that money
I did it
and I did just fine
Helloo I’m making a character would anyone know what world to choose for the best multiplayer experience?
I still do it even
What do you mean by well-researched Levegather/craft quests? Should I incorporate usage of the thingy in Ishgard?
@hybrid rapids it depends on where you live
google for the best servers at your location
@wind kindle
Google ffxiv leveling guides for a job
Ahh alright alright ty
Oh literally, alright. Thanks.
While my GSM is still low
This is what im using
This is what I used to zoom my mining to 50 https://www.ffxivguild.com/ff14-mining-miner-leveling-guide-a-realm-reborn/3/
I guess Ill go there and try it myself for the other Gatherer and Crafter classes.
What do I do? I didn't take on the duty finder tutorial and now in MSQ I've to use duty finder
Yeah, it makes a huge difference
Like, you level so fast that trying to raft your own gear is kind of pointless since two or 3 levequests and you are already at the next tier of gear and job quest
@wind kindle
Also, if you never found out. You have a "Gathering Log" which literally shows you where every single item in the world is to gather
and will even open your map to the location too
What do I do? I didn't take on the duty finder tutorial and now in MSQ I've to use duty finder
@oblique yew your duty finder can be accessed with the keyboard key "u" by default
Alright, copy. I'll guess I'll go get most of the Gatherer and Crafter classes instead of just Miner alone.
There a button or combo to remove HUD for screenshots on ps4?
@sick zenith press L1 + the touchpad button
Hi all! Is it easy to farm your own Dreadwyrm gear solo unsynched these days? I
@oblique yew basically every interface in the game can be found in the lower right (assuming you haven't moved it).
@hot eagle so i did the class quest and it only raised it up by avg of one level (currently lvl 39)
would i just buy more gear
oh nvm for some reason the recommended gear put in a lvl 5 ring
and i glossed over it many times
You really shouldn't have any ilevel troubles at that point as long as your taking your classes gear for quest rewards
Like, I never got close to worrying about that
Idk why it would do that really, I'd need more info. But it shouldn't I don't think

Did you pick the correct ring for quest rewards?
Because even if you get a higher ilevel ring if it boosts wrong stat game will pick lower level ring over it
Hey, my friend is trying to get into Mateus
anyone know a solid time they might open for new characters?
probably try in like 2-3 hours
i guess thats what happen
it just autopicks the ring thats fits me rather than just item lvl
The recommended gear values both ilvl and main stat
and iirc to a smaller degree the secondaries
but ilvl and main stat are both weighted much more heavily, so yeah it'll pick a lower ilvl item because it has your role's main stat on it if you don't have a high ilvl item with your main stat on it
i was looking to buy my equipment suited towards me
but people really make their stuff expensive on the marketboard
unless the economy is just inflated and im broke
or jsut broke
what level can i start pvping?
what's the best class to solo potd at the moment?
red mage is still king
but a fair number of other jobs have cleared floors 200
@compact sundial at lvl 30, but you also need to have your job to be able to queue
is summoner/scholar still a thing?
ya
ok ty c:
is it nto worth doing duty roulette MSQ with lower level classes?
no matter the lvl?
yes, unless you really dislike msq roulette should absolutely be doing it as part of your dailies if you're 50+
none of the HW and higher fish use ARR bait right?
except for versatile yes
alright, thanks!
someone gimmie the crash course on chocobo racing
Are optional gear armor?
pardon?
Or is it like cover over your original armor
!faq glamour
'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.
So do I lose the optional items when I do it?
no
Hmmm ok
can you refer a friend after they already made their account but they're still on free trial?
I've been looking for my allied seals and can't seem to find them, are they the same as the company seals? kina confused
the gear is tied to you once you use it as a glamour, so you can't resell it or anything like that
oh wait, can you not refer a friend anymore?
You can only refer people who have bought the game but not yet paid for a sub
And yes you can still recruit
but you need an active sub to do so
where do I find my referal code?
ah I see it, thank you
so they just use the code when they convert from free trial to buying the game right?
ya
can you not use the code after they've been subscribed? I have another friend who's been playing for over a month and I didn't know about this referral system
Too bad
nope, if they've paid for a sub then they are ineligible to be recruited
Do I need to own it to glamour it onto something else?
yes

Can someone help with how to get rogue class unlock (new players)
you need to get a class to lvl 10 and complete their lvl 10 class quest, then head to the rogue's guild in limsa to pick up their starting quest. its recommended to start as marauder or arcanist as they start in limsa, if you started as another class you'll need to wait until around lvl 15 in the main scenario quest when it takes you to the other city stats and unlocks the airship travel to be able to unlock it
Ok I have unlock the area but the mission says it locked and doesn't say why
Did you do your level 10 class quest
I believe so ...but how do you check just to make sure
@pine bluff seeing your ping just now, ty!
buying shadowblood gets me any other expacs i havent bought, yea?
^ yes
and it's shadowbringers
@earnest copper - once you've switched over to your class, there should be another quest name under the MSQ quest in your top left corner of the screen
if there isn't, there aren't any new job quests to do because you don't qualify for them. if there is, then it'll give you the name of that job quest, and you can click it to see where you need to go to do it
@shell dagger
Ok so just to make sure, I only had ARR and stormblood
But since i got shadowbringer standard, i got heavensword to?
if you bought stormblood you should have gotten heavensward
If I do only MSQ, what level will it take me to?
i think it'll depend on if you've got the road to 70 buff imho. if you've got that, you'll level up fairly quickly if you do MSQ + your daily duty roulettes
possibly slightly under the next req for next msq without the buff
a few roulettes should fix that
How do I access roulettes?
U button
you will unlock a roulette once you have unlocked 2 duties that are part of the roulette
so unlocking the first 2 dungeons of the game will unlock Duty Roulette: Levelling
Ah. Found it
What is gold saucer and is ther anything good from it? 🙂
yeah
Gold Saucer is like a casino with a bunch of side attractions
it uses its own currency, MGP, and the items you can get from it are entirely cosmetic
Oh I heard that there are some mounts that you can get from there?
yeah there's a couple
Just level your squadron until its rewarding but still a small risk
otherwise you will probably fail
!faq mgpguide
damn im alrdy 6 levels beyond
To get you started on earning if interested
you could probably train your squadron in the mind/tactics
see if that gives you enough mind
To get you started on earning if interested
@little swift THanks! 😄
or just mind
pretty sure ninja doesn't really require low ping anymore since mudras are now on gcd
recently got Kirin and it was fun solo farming for all the 6 horses to drop, and I just saw the golden bird 🤤
can I solo farm those lanners?
I got a healer friend that can help me so if not solo, can 2 people do it?
If you have a Paladin at 80 you can solo all of them
Mch needs Dexterity ? o O
Yes
reading dexterity description and it says it improves rogue's weapons.. but I thought only ninja is rogue?
"Affects physical ranged damage and damage dealt by rogue's arms"
machinist is physical ranged job
Three companion app in game services, are they permanent after a single purchase or will you lose the services if you don't renew?

you need to stay subscribed to keep the premium in-game benefits of the companion app.
That's lame, thank you
IMO It's not really worth it unless you'll make good usage out of the app or if you really need the extra chocobo bag storage
The extra retainer on top of chocobo bag feels pretty big together
I like having my base crafting mats available on demand
Instead of going back to a city, to market, summon, then go back to wherever it is I need to turn something in
2 extra retainers would probably be more value than companion sub
if you're looking strictly at bag space
but if you make a lot of use of the chocobo bag then that's fair
That's a lot of exploration field mats
Is there a hard cap on how many retainers you can have?

Ill check back here afterwards to verify ha
is there any way to get an aetheryte ring or something else that boosts exp?
(without having pre-ordered ofc)
Theres the brand new ring and the friendship circlet
the aetheryte earrings, no. but there's the brand new ring from completing the hall of novice excerises, it gives exp boost til 30
friendship circlet is from recruit a friend and boosts exp til 20
nothing else past 30?
newp
mm ok
Food
outside of eating food for 3% buff
Armoury bonus exp
15% iirc
but it looks like brand new ring and preferred world boost doesn't stack 😦
they do
I've got the brand new ring already and am on a preferred world, but I only get +100%
quest exp or kill exp
quest
road to 70 is the only thing that affects quest xp
so on kill exp I should get 130?
hmm ok
Hi, I'm a new player and I've been doing light raids quite comfortably. What's it like doing larger dungeons etc, because I'm slightly nervous as a healer tbh. Thanks :)
in an 8 man, you'll have another healer to help
so i just started miner, now level 22, i heard you can level real quick using ishgard restoration, how do you do that?
go to the diadem
just go around in the diadem and mine?
So there's a co-healer? Nice. Thank you Renaulte.
24 mans are generally pretty easy
ok, so that's really all there is to it, thanks!
they're less mechanically taxing than the endgame 8 man raids
24 😳 oh god
each group has 2 healers in a 24 man
uh excuse you renaulte, i still cannot do basic math
so there's 6 total
3 groups of 8
you're mainly just responsible for your 8man
healing the other 16 is optional
you really only rez a healer in another group if they're all dead
I tend to panic heal absolutely everything currently, but I'm learning to throw in dps when I can
but if shit goes bad in group A and you're comfortable in group C, of course feel free to toss a rez or something for them
what level are you now?
32, just been doing a lot of side stuff
generally speaking, you won't need to panic heal all that much
as you get higher levels, you get off-gcd heals that are quite strog
if you're excessively panic healing then your tank's got a superiority complex
so you can use your gcd's for damage
or your DPS couldn't dodge a parked car
generally speaking, damage comes out slower in FF14 compared to other mmorpgs
topping off is fine but you can comfortably wait until like 40-60% to start healing
Oh okay
most of the time
unless your tank is doing wall to wall pulls the damage should be very ok
I recommend taking note of how much your spells heal for, so you can avoid overhealing whenever possible
if you're a white mage
regen by itself heals a lot
you can get by a whole dungeon on pretty much only regen on the DPS
at those levels
Really? Oh okay that's a relief then
and if they die, they'll learn to dodge the aoe's next time ^^
This is my first MMO so I'm still learning the ropes, thanks for all the advice btw
You need to remember the function of each spell
Regen: need to heal a lot but don't need to happen right away
Cure: need to heal a decent chunk right now
Cure II: need to heal a bigger chunk than Cure right now
And employ them accordingly
Cure and Medica are my go to's currently, but I'll take all of what you said into consideration, thank you 😊
Medica and Medica II is the AOE equivalent of Cure and Regen in terms of function
Medica II heal more, but it doesn't happen right away, while Medica can be used multiple times consecutively
Good luck
@warped nest appreciate it man, thank you 😊
don't spam medica II
one medica II is fine
if you need more aoe healing past that then use medica
heals more immediately and costs less MP
google "fashion report this week"
go to kaiyoko star's twitter
pull up the image for the necessary items this week
do you want the 100 pts or the 80 pts?
the 100 pts and the 80 pts reward the same amount of MGP
the 100 pts gives you an achievement and a title though
That’s it?
yeah
so you only need to do the 100 pts once
then you can just aim for the 80 pts every week after that
So I see where it says easy 100 pts and easy 80
But what is the other stuff above all that
the stuff above it is just all the possible gear options
Like it says vegabond and
the items listed above are all possible gold star point items
that are "correct"
but if you just follow the bottom 2 pics then you'll have the 100 pts
Does it make a difference if I get 100?
Btw, if you don't have spare gils to do this, just participating with all gear will give you passing scores and yield some decent MGP
yeah I explained earlier
So like you don't have to use the stablehand hat if you don't have it, if you have say the angler's hat instead
difference between 100 and 80 is just an achievement and a title
So don't bust your wallet doing it perfectly
so you only need 100 once and then you can go for 80 every week after that
dont need a soul stone or shield
glamour works too
If you needed more points, yes
if your glamour is dyed then you can use that
So I can just dye it and glamour it back after
just make sure the appropriate slots are dyed the colours specified in the image
Ok
?
I have my glamours set on the color dyes already
that's why you have the new level 1 piece of gear
equip it and don't apply your glamour plate
So do I just check all the summer breeze hats and get the cheapest l?
😦
i guarantee you'll find the price varying wildly over the weekend
while people fight to undercut each other
kaiyoko does also list the vendors who sell the gear, provided they're vendor gear
people who buy it from marketboard are just lazy
google is your best bet
I can’t get 100
How to dodge?
that's fine
It’s high level gear
Is it just jumping like a madman?
dodge what exactly
Aoe
Awesome
Btw, your character hitbox is actually a very small dot
I only spend like 4k or 5k
As soon as I see the aoe circle or cone, I just walk away from it?
Yes
Even as a tank
Yes
you should aim to dodge anything you can
Okie
but if you are tanking
be wary not to face the boss toward the raid/party if you dodge something
bosses like to hit things in front of them
This is not absolute either
generally speaking, yeah
Generally speaking, you should develop the habit of walking out of any visible cones or circles. When you need to stand in them is based on fights
if you go into a fight blind, which I imagine you will probably do most of the time
you can safely default to "face the boss away from the raid"
until you learn what that boss does
There are even attacks you want to eat
Some attacks will target a party member and a few of the players need to stack with them to split the damage
Or you have a debuff and to cleanse it, you need to get hit by a certain attack
The problem that I've had so far was that my party just marches on forward while I want to explore
she makes a reddit thread at the beginning of the week
and a couple players get together and trial-and-error it out
The themes for each item slot are also set in stone and don't change
An example theme is "Coiled Finally" which means Dreadwyrm equipment from the third tier of coil.
Hmm guess I should keep some items than
So a chestpiece with the "Coiled Finally" theme wants a Dreadwyrm chestpiece
Not really necessary to be honest
the easy 80 is simple enough that you can usually buy/vendor most of it every week
Is block rate important?
You can keep the rare piece if you want to
yeah, if all you want is the MGP then you can generally just rely on vendor gear
Block is passive RNG mitigation
@oblique yew ehh. you mostly ignore it since shields eventually just have an even amount of both block rate and block strength
Is block rate important?
@oblique yew it is, but you can't do much to it
I got 60k mgp
I got this shield that give +50 block strength but-50 rate
You will get it naturally by getting better shields
don't worry much about stats at your level
It happens at lower level
just look for your main stat
I’m swimming in MGP
shields having high rate and low strength and vice versa stops happening about halfway through heavensward.
When the scutums stop being their own thing
fenrir mount costs 1m MGP

What can I use mgp for?
so most people aim for that
cosmetic minions/mounts/glamour weapons+equipment/music rolls/TT cards
Is it at the place by the card place?
In the end it's all cosmetic/vanity stuff.
Wynne, you typed so fast lol
He's an olympic speed typer
Other easy source of MGP are the daily mini cactpot and the weekly cactpot
You want to buy yours before the result is out
you can see the vendors in the main lobby area
there's "prize exchange"
lots of glamours to get too
like the sexy bunny glamour
It is very subtle
I think those weapons also have a custom/unique auto-attack sound
does anyone have experience using kill ping? if so did it improve much
When I hit 80 is it worth it just to buy a full set of Neo-Ishgard?
it's pretty cheap now, but don't do it if you're not swimming in gil
getting to ilevel 480 doesn't take long
Whats the definition of swimming? 😛
if spending 400-800k is nothing to you
is rookturret only meant for 1 target or can it swap targets if the first target dies?
if it's half your wallet then don't do it
hmm ok
get someone nice in your FC to craft it for you
i'd pick up a few pieces just to hit the ilevel requirements for nier/eden 5-8
@magic light I don't think rook can swap targets :\
Are the mats cheap @zenith robin ?
can rookover drive swap targets?
Hi! On an average, how long does it take for SE to accept paypal payments for Crysta?
They're not too expensive. Might have to do some server hopping to find some deals.
IIRC, yes grain
You can also do E5-8 normal raids and pick up 480 gear that way.
Whats the minimum req for those?
Spam level 80 dungeons for tomestones of phantasmagoria to spend on i460 gear along with whatever the dungeons drop
ahh ok
use your allegory tomestones as well so they dont cap, for 490 gear
ty
@hybrid rapids was always instant for me, except one time where I got 20k it took 5minutes or something before it was refilled
How to do dressed to deceive quest?
It's red coloured for me
Even though my lvl is higher
Make sure you have the Weathered Shepherd stuff equipped
yep thats its core reason
So would it be a good idea to use those tomes to buy the mgp $$ thing
cause I don't feel like playing their minigames
well the minigames are a poor way to earn mgp anyway. the best way is other things like lottery tickets every week and wondrous tails
wonderous tails?
a thing you unlock post 50 (iirc) that lets you do some older content to get these stickers to put in your book that may or may not give rewards because the position of the stickers is random on your grid
basically a reason to do older stuff
60
ah
cheers Wynne

Looks like i still have a ways to go then
until I can get more cosmetic armor
since im stuck in ARR msq chain atm
oh mgp only has a specific selection of vanity items
there are plenty you can get outside that
Up until now, I've just been using tomes that i get for mount maps
Which have proven very useful yes
wait tomes as in poetics?
oh. right the moogle event
yes thats hella side content
all the stuff available from those (bar the vanity necklace thing)
is available in other ways
the moogle event lets you buy some redeem ticket that adds 50,000 MGP to your account
its just shortcutted here
right. I wouldnt focus on that stuff. Its all extra
and they come back semi-regularly now.
muh vanity...
and like I said everything availble bar a single little vanity item is obtainable in other ways
Does the code bought on se store expires?
is it possible to use skills from other classes?
Not anymore. That used to be a thing
but every role now has default actions
role actions they're called
ah im glad im not going crazy. i thought it was something you used to be able to do
has that gone as well now?
yes
damn a lot has changed (havent really played since before the first expansion
only the gathering classes have cross-class skills now, but even then it's only for the skills that let you see other class's nodes (you still need to be on the correct class to grab them)
wouldnt it be better to use the code before hitting 30? i got given 15 free days for hitting 30, but my friend who levelled to 30 using free trial didnt get it when they used their code
oh thats a fair point crow
I can see why you want to
get 35 and do all that you can right?
Yess exactly
ok yeah. game codes shouldnt expire
I like spending time on the saucer
Tbh not getting the 15 days is a non-issue since you can just make an alt character on another preferred server and get the 15 days and it'd take like, an afternoon
ah didnt know you could do it again as the email said it was for the first level 30
15days?
You only get the free game time once Zidey
Am i missing something
calisae is talking to zidey
getting to level 30 on a preferred server gets you 15 days of free sub once per account if you have the base game registered
ill have to tell my friend to do it again on another server
Ohh- then what about the free 30 sub? Does it stack wth that?
yes
how should rook auto turret be used?
i'd think levequest
i think levequests or beast tribes
i play with a friend and right now we can finish Eden 7S by like wednesday, and kinda bored the rest of the week. E8S looks a bit intimidating so we haven't started but other than that, is there other content we can try? Doesn't have to be for gear, something kinda fun or different.
just party finder / pug
right I can see your hesitation about e8s then.
as for other content. Have you cleared the latest EX trial? Memoria Misera? (or however thats spelt)
oo i dont think so
right well get on that. if you're at savage level the gear is pointless but its basically recoloured class gear
its also NOT pointless you are certain tanking classes
as the helm is Best in Slot.
specifically paladin and possibly warrior? dunno about that 2nd one
Do I have to keep re-applying glamour every time I unlock new gear and equip it?
yes. BUT you can save glamour to plates
and just apply the whole plate at a simple press
this will require you to put the glamour piece in your glamour dresser (available through inn rooms)
Dumb question but what item should I stockpile on to be able to keep overspending on glamour like this
that's y i didn't glamour at all til lvl 80 =x
if you want to apply glamours outside of citys you'll just need prisms
if you have a particular glamour you want to have on your gear, its best to put them in the dresser and make a plate
and just go back to a city to reapply the plate
also: it retains default dye
so if you want to maximize your value with expensive metallic dyes
it's free in cities?
if you want to apply glamours outside of citys you'll just need prisms
@marble drift
apply it to the item FIRST
since you're going to end up using a lot of prisms if you're manually glamouring every time you get new gear
applying plates is free in cities
because its the only place they can be appied
they require prisms to "set" the plate but after that
applying to gear is free
this will require you to put the glamour piece in your glamour dresser (available through inn rooms)
so where are these inn rooms
cities
there's an inn room at the major cities, they're indicated by a bed icon
thanks guys, ill do that
Hey I just heard that I, a PC player with every expansion but no current active sub can get 30 days for free if I link my PS4 account to my PC account, is that true? How would I go about doing it step by step?
what's best way to find people to teach me how to do extreme shb trials?
YouTube @hot dock
there's lots of guides out there on youtube for shb extremes, mostly by MTQcapture
she has guides for pretty much every bit of content in the game excluding ultimates
^ she's real paitent and covers everything well
including diagrams for those that prefer
what about finding ppl

👍
