obsidian patio
#

nope, they're all separate

crimson wind
#

Also do we have any percentage estimates on how rare the ShB EX mounts are?

obsidian patio
#

assuming drop rate buffs have been the same across expansions, probably like 10%. no official info of course

crimson wind
#

k

#

sigh

#

Is PF valid for completing Extremes?

fresh lodge
#

Yes

crimson wind
#

how hard is it to do it with a PF then

obsidian patio
#

depends on the extreme usually

fresh lodge
#

If you know the mechanic, not really hard at all

#

Its level 70 content so you have a bit of wiggle room

crimson wind
#

Innocence/Titania

obsidian patio
#

Besides Hades, all of the ShB ones so far have been pretty tame in difficulty.

crimson wind
#

I'd assume the first 2 would be fairly tame considering my Ilvl?

obsidian patio
#

Titania is a bit harder than innocence since there's more party-dependent mechanics like the tethers and puddles

#

ones that can kill others besides the person who messes up

quiet crystal
#

The adds wombo combo

rocky night
#

Hello all. New player here. How can I get to Hidden Gorge? I want to do some 24v24 pvp

obsidian patio
#

there should be a quest at your grand company that unlocks most of the PVP instances

#

if not then it should be at the Wolves Den or in Mor Dhona in the bar near the aetheryte.

rocky night
#

I am at the wolves den but find no option to enter anywhere

obsidian patio
#

you queue for it like any other duty

#

the category for PVP instances is the crossed swords icon in the duty finder

slate arrow
#

You need to switch to the PvP tab

#

In order to queue for PvP duties

rocky night
#

To pvp profile? I have it locked so I must be missing a quest?

twilit arch
#

did you do the quest "A pup no longer"?

obsidian patio
#

The quest "Earning Your Wings" might be the one you need to unlock Hidden Gorge. that is in the wolves den

#

and also needs the quest that kael mentions

twilit arch
#

yes, earning your wings is the unlock for hidden gorge

rocky night
#

No idea I just started yesterday and bought the level + main story skip boosts

#

Those two quests are probably not done, Ill look into them. Thanks!

next wind
#

hey guys, what's the primal weapons drop rate? Does it need to be extreme or can be hard/normal? Also, does any 60lv primals can be soloed unsync or needs to be a party?

stark delta
#

Hello. Do you have to do all the dofferent roulettes every day or at certain levels can you skip a few? They eat up so much time 😦

obsidian patio
#

roulettes are completely optional

#

but in terms of experience, the big ones are Leveling, Alliance Raid, and Main Scenario

stark delta
#

Yeah the main scenario is just horrible. An hour of unskippable cutscenes and boss fights that i hVe done too many times

next wind
#

45min*

#

and yea, you don't need to do it but it's easy experience

slate arrow
#

Primal weapons always drop

crimson wind
#

If I'm OT and need to swap, I just turn stance on and provoke?

slate arrow
#

if you mean the drop for the crafted weapon

#

it's fairly lower

obsidian patio
#

@next wind HW primals can be done solo by Paladin. as for weapons all of them but Ifrit/Titan/Garuda/Mog drop from the extreme versions of the fight

next wind
#

yea I want the glowy ones

obsidian patio
#

@crimson wind yep

crimson wind
#

k

next wind
#

the drop rate is horrible or worth the grind?

crimson wind
#

No need for flood of shadow on Innocence EX yeah?

obsidian patio
#

Yep, it's all single target

crimson wind
#

k so I'll just replace flood with provoke

obsidian patio
#

@next wind pretty low drop rate for current expansion primals, but for the older ones they feel like low-double digits

crimson wind
#

So do we swap back once MT gets back to full or swap after next tankbuster?

obsidian patio
#

generally whenever a tankbuster happens that forces a swap

crimson wind
#

k

#

I'd assume busters are much more common?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of Hades specifically? It actually only happens like twice if you don't use immunities. Once if you got good damage.
There's also the double ascian phase, that will definitely need a swap for when they switch elements.

crimson wind
#

Bit of a question DPS wise, I just weave my OGCDs once they come off CD?

#

No need to save em unless a specific mechanic comes around?

obsidian patio
#

for the most part, yeah. Just make sure to leave yourself with enough MP to use TBN as needed.

crimson wind
#

I don't over use my MP

obsidian patio
#

and to leave enough blackblood to use living shadow

crimson wind
#

I always have enough for TBN

muted sun
#

Basically good idea - weaving cds unless you know a event where they are needed will happen before they cd

crimson wind
#

one last question. Any way to get 6 GCDs in a BW or Delirium?

#

And should I slot in some materia?

obsidian patio
#

5 is the limit

crimson wind
#

sucks

obsidian patio
#

and materia should always be melded in your gear, even if it's cheap materia like grade 6

marble drift
#

BW absolutely not, Delirium...maybe with some fight specific haste buff or something

forest laurel
#

6 would require the skill speed to be like, <2s or smth which is impossible normally

marble drift
#

which at the moment, doesnt exist

#

and you'd need to be Warrior-Fast already

obsidian patio
#

and grade 6 has the advantage of 100% retrieval rate which means you don't have to worry about buying more if you can't get it back from your gear

leaden ginkgo
#

is asking for advice on account issues okay here?

crimson wind
#

And how do I unlock materia melding?

marble drift
#

yeah its fine Jim

obsidian patio
#

Complete the quest "forging the Spirit" and "Waking the spirit" in central thanalan at The Bonfire, north of the aetheryte

crimson wind
#

Kk

leaden ginkgo
#

is anyone familiar with unlinking a square enix account from a PSN account

marble drift
#

not personally no. I'll leave that to somebody else

obsidian patio
#

I've never heard of anyone being able to get SE to do that for them. :\

leaden ginkgo
#

i'm kind of in a complicated situation

#

i know it's possible but theres a lot of factors that worry me

marble drift
#

did you link your SE account to a PSN that was not yours?

desert ravine
#

is the 200 poetics and 10 tomestone from prae only once a day? or it's spammable?

marble drift
#

and have now lost access to that PSN?

leaden ginkgo
#

well no

forest laurel
#

spammable yes but not recommended bc of how long it takes

leaden ginkgo
#

i still have the psn, i just want to put another square enix account onto it

desert ravine
#

i want the phoenix, planning to do it 5 times lol

forest laurel
#

from what I've heard ppl spam aurum vale for the event tomestones

marble drift
#

phoenix?

desert ravine
#

i mean the bird looking mount from ticket exchange

leaden ginkgo
#

you sure you wanna do praetorian that many times

marble drift
#

oh from the moogle event?

crimson wind
#

That's not a Phoenix

#

that's a birb

marble drift
#

there are better options than Praetorium

desert ravine
#

well whatever that is

next wind
#

haha pvp is the most popular to spam

marble drift
#

^

next wind
#

and the fastest unless you have the blue mage

#

in which case aurum vale, but you need at least 2 blue mages

marble drift
#

you don't have to win, just participate. good for some wolf marks for glam gear too while you're there

leaden ginkgo
#

anyways this is what i'm trying to understand

#

the account i would be unlinking from my PSN has my FFXI service account on it

#

would both FF14 and FFXI be disabled or just FF14

obsidian patio
#

Never heard of anyone in your situation before so I can’t say. :/

leaden ginkgo
#

yea it's really specific and dumb

alpine shadow
#

only FF14

olive lintel
alpine shadow
#

Since SE Account is seperate from PSN account

marble drift
#

no she doesnt?

olive lintel
#

i cant find the option anymore

marble drift
#

you're looking at the wrong set of stuff. the upgrader handles it all

olive lintel
#

in idleshire

obsidian patio
#

@olive lintel select ā€œEikonic Gear ReOutfittingā€ from her

marble drift
#

yes the same person that augments shire also handles the previous stuff

olive lintel
#

let me check

oblique yew
#

Are there weapon enchantments?

marble drift
#

nope

olive lintel
#

found it @obsidian patio damn ive been looking for almost an hour

#

thank you very much!

#

it was mixed with primal stuff so i wasnt able to see it

sick zenith
#

I know I ask variations of this same question a lot as I advance

#

But

#

Can ifrit hard be run blind?

marble drift
#

yes

#

ifrit hard is not "hard"

#

its just leveled up

#

which includes a couple more mechanics and stuff does a bit more damage but nothing crazy

#

like memorizing a 12 step dance or whatever

alpine shadow
#

The ones that are "hard" per se is extremes

sick zenith
#

Alright. Its hard to know whats considered actually hard content from in game descriptions

marble drift
#

the same goes for the other 2 ARR Primals. Titan and Garuda. Hard in this context is just "Level 50"

#

For actual challenging content

#

you want Extreme (called EX by everyone)

#

or Savage

alpine shadow
#

Or just skip to Ultimate

leaden ginkgo
#

@alpine shadow ive been reading over it again and again and you're probably right, thanks

marble drift
#

and then yes the final hurdle is Ultimate.

#

you won't just "casually unlock" those most of the time so you won't see em unless you hunt for em

sick zenith
#

Ok. I intend to clear everything synced within reason for challenge purposes

#

Including extremes and stuff

alpine shadow
#

I doubt you'd find synced extremes for old content

#

Only on current lvl80 extremes you would do synced

marble drift
#

You could possibly find some people interested in that

sick zenith
#

I think i have a group to run old content with

marble drift
#

but personally if you want to be challenged there are better things you could be doing

#

proving yourself in an Ultimate is probably the peak of challenge in this game

sick zenith
#

Yeah but I dont want to go straight to the top

warped nest
#

Some of the older EX and Savage are still good challenges and good fun if you do them with minimum ilvl

sick zenith
#

Im not that good

alpine shadow
#

The other option to do old content, is doing blu, where you would do synced low lvl stuff

sick zenith
#

I wanna go up through the difficulty

#

If that makes sense

alpine shadow
#

lvl80 extremes > savage > ultimate

marble drift
#

ok but these old extremes are invalid. You could do the normal level 80 stuff, then move through it like Thaun listed

warped nest
#

Then you need to recruit players on your own or find groups of players who want do older contents with minimum ilvl

sick zenith
#

Like I said i have a group to do old content with im pretty sure so dont worry about that

#

Why do you say old extremes are invalid

marble drift
#

They don't really prove anything to anyone.

alpine shadow
#

You sure you mean "old content" means "synced old content" and not "unsynced farm party"?

marble drift
#

Its not a challenge even synced

sick zenith
#

Im not trying to prove anything to anyone lol

marble drift
#

as characters have changed too much

lethal schooner
#

Hi guys, I kinda have a difficulty in leveling Fisher from level 33 till so on. Could any of you have any tips on how to power level fisher from that particular level?

alpine shadow
#

yeah, you are on the highest ilvl when synced anyway

marble drift
#

you could min-ilvl it Thaun

alpine shadow
#

Ocean Fishing

sick zenith
#

So what youre trying to explain is that non current raid content simply isnt that challenging anymore even synced

marble drift
#

yes

alpine shadow
#

yes, min-ilvl is the only way to challange yourself

sick zenith
#

Ok that i can understand

marble drift
#

classes have changed too drastically

sick zenith
#

Makes sense

marble drift
#

you're outputting WAY more damage and taking way less even synched

alpine shadow
#

even tier 1 of savage is outdated imo

marble drift
#

they wernt meant to be kept competetive outside of thier release window

lethal schooner
#

@alpine shadow How to do the ocean fishing?

alpine shadow
#

at Limsa, to the west

#

or was it east

sick zenith
#

Well im new to MMOs in a sense so it will still be challenging for me im sure

alpine shadow
#

and you should see a port and a quest there

sick zenith
#

To an extent

#

Ill keep pushing to current stuff tho

marble drift
#

In all honestly its the wrong place to start learning.

#

They design everything without assuming you've done anything else

lethal schooner
#

Ahh found it. Thanks sirs yaycarby

marble drift
#

so learning with current things is more productive and you're 100% going to find people to do that with you

sick zenith
#

All i asked was when do I need to start guide peeking

#

If i wanna clear old content I can

#

Ty tho!

alpine shadow
#

Also, if you do just old content synced, you might not learn the max-lvl rotation for your job optimally, since you would be then too used to doing old rotation, and might affect newer content

sick zenith
#

I play blm I never got used to one rotation

#

If my rotation is wrong I can fix it

marble drift
#

honestly if you can clear ultimate fights you can basically consider everything thats not ultimate cleared by default

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait

#

Does ffxiv download to the my documents folder even tho I downloaded it in a different drive?

alpine shadow
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

Then idk why I can’t download it

alpine shadow
#

document folder just keeps character and system settings

#

what is the error?

leaden ginkgo
#

That

winged shore
jade quartz
#

Yes, everything is available through other methods.

alpine shadow
#

is it stuck downloading all the times?

#

with no progres?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

winged shore
#

Thanks. what should I do to obtain other ones ?

leaden ginkgo
#

I tried closing and restarting several times

#

I restarted my router as well and turned off fire wall

alpine shadow
#

how much space on your harddisk do you have?

jade quartz
#

Hmm that's the old lore tomestone gear.

leaden ginkgo
#

My c drive?

alpine shadow
#

yeah

jade quartz
#

Those sets are obtainable from the tomestone exchange in Idyllshire

#

for Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.

leaden ginkgo
#

Like 2 gb

alpine shadow
#

or your install folder

#

2GB?

winged shore
#

oh okay thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

alpine shadow
#

C Drive?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yea

alpine shadow
#

dude, thats killing your computer

leaden ginkgo
#

??

fast kernel
#

@winged shore Calamity salvager in major towns

#

For all non tomestone quest gear

alpine shadow
#

i mean, having 2GB space left isnt good for when windows is going to store temp files all the time

winged shore
#

@fast kernel Thanks I will lok for them

alpine shadow
#

that might be the reason it wont download

leaden ginkgo
#

Then how do I get more space there is like nothing in there

alpine shadow
#

you have nothing in your c drive?

leaden ginkgo
#

Basically nothing is in there

alpine shadow
#

not even windows?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes windows is in there

#

All the base stuff

#

I can reset my pc

alpine shadow
#

well, imo i think you would need 10gb extra free space to make sure local files isnt overfilled over time

#

since your home folder in windows is still stored on the c drive

leaden ginkgo
#

Kk I will reset my pc then?

#

So it’s fresh and everything can be downloaded on my d drive

alpine shadow
#

you can probably extend your c drive with disk manager

leaden ginkgo
#

How do you extend

alpine shadow
#

Is the D drive on the same disk as your c?

leaden ginkgo
#

No it has 900 gb space but only 200 now because of games

alpine shadow
#

i mean, is it on the same physical harddisk

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

alpine shadow
#

ok, then go to disk manager, select the D partition, shrink it, select C and extend

#

imo, there shouldnt be any reason to seperate your games on to a completely different partition if you use it on the same harddisk

#

only if you are using dualboot to access your games trough linux

#

but if the download still does not work after freeing up more space, then im not exactly sure what the reason is

#

@tender estuary if you know? any reason to why he isnt able to download anymore

sick zenith
#

I bet its the disk space

leaden ginkgo
#

Kk gimmie a sec I’ll get back to u soon

sick zenith
#

2 gig of empty data is actually 0 gig of empty data

bitter plaza
spice shell
#

Heyo. How would you guys recommend one goes about finding a free company to join? I've been working the recruitment channel the last week or so without much luck.

sick zenith
#

Not here

#

Examine people in game

#

Then view their free company profile

#

If it looks like a good place apply

spice shell
#

Ok cool, yeah I wasn't looking for a free company here. It was just a question. Hence the name of the channel. Thanks

sick zenith
#

You can only join an fc on your home server so trying to get recruited here is... meh

#

I mean not here as in not this discord

#

Noot this channel

#

Yeesh

alpine shadow
#

#recruitment-crystal

spice shell
#

Oh ok, people can be touchy where you post things. Didn't mean to assume

sick zenith
#

Im more likely to get in trouble then enforce rules

olive lintel
#

where do you get pure white dye?

marble drift
#

mog station.

olive lintel
#

no other means? xD

marble drift
#

general purpose pure white dye is from retainers

warped nest
#

There is a general purpose variation

marble drift
#

they're...the same

warped nest
#

They are the same, General purpose can be traded in marketboard, but it is rather expensive

olive lintel
#

its 200k in my server

#

xD

marble drift
#

yep

warped nest
#

Like 6 digit expensive

fast kernel
#

I just buy them off the mogstation

warped nest
#

So real world money or in-game gils...

marble drift
#

see if Pearl White dye fits what you were going for

#

its available through ishguard restoration

#

and in some cases

#

matches what you're going for

olive lintel
#

let me check

fast kernel
#

If you can recruit someone

olive lintel
#

glam is expensive

mighty arch
#

Quick Question if i make an AUS square enix account can i play on an american server with my friends or would i have to make a NA account. Since i havent played before but just want to check

fast kernel
#

You get gold chocobo feathers

#

Which you then can turn in for dyes

twilit arch
#

what region your account is in only dictates what region key you need to buy. You can play on NA/EU/JP servers, regardless of account region

mighty arch
#

ok thank you

marble drift
#

trust me. there isnt an australian se account

olive lintel
#

ohh i think i have some chocobo feathers let me check

marble drift
#

na/eu/jp. thats it

jade quartz
#

The three regions are North America (NA), Japan (JP), and "Europe & Other Regions" (EU)

alpine shadow
#

@leaden ginkgo btw, how much space did you first assign it to?

olive lintel
#

I ended up with Snow White dye

#

the cheapest one lol

orchid citrus
#

Is a way to access a picture mode or something?

#

I'm playing on PC.

marble drift
#

/gpose

orchid citrus
#

oooh nice!

#

Thanks!

frank anchor
#

does the scholar have a unique mount like the conjurer unicorn?

marble drift
#

no

rough lance
#

how to overmeld

marble drift
#

you will need a crafter at the required level

#

or another player

rough lance
#

which lvl

#

which crafter

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone know how to bind a phrase when you do your LB?

marble drift
#

any crafter.

#

and Im not 100% on the level. I think 80?

#

or at least on par with the item

#

@leaden ginkgo you can use a macro

rough lance
#

so the lvl mus b on par or higher than the eq

leaden ginkgo
#

How exactly would I do that then lol

fresh lodge
#

/ac "Limit Break"
/p Unlimited Power
/micon "Limit Break"

#

Do that in the macro menu

marble drift
#

you spam that however

#

and all you will get

#

is dirty looks

#

advice from 1 player to another, just...don't

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean I dont plan on binding things to common attacks

#

Like only like the one I used at the end or start

strong sphinx
#

is there a short cut to try gear on? like shift+right click on a gear piece to try it on or so?

leaden ginkgo
#

Remind me, where's the macro menu? I just returned recently so I'm still readjusting to.. everything.

marble drift
#

are we talking looks or stats @strong sphinx ?

strong sphinx
#

looks but also stats now that you mentioned it haha

marble drift
#

both are accessed through the right click menu

#

I don't believe theres a shortcut like other mmos

strong sphinx
#

oh damn but thx anyway!

alpine shadow
#

@leaden ginkgo System > Macro

leaden ginkgo
#

How does interupts work? what can I interupt? (interject)

alpine shadow
#

When there is a big bar that is flashing when casting

#

then you can interrupt

leaden ginkgo
#

I might be wrong since I dint use it much but you cast during their attacks iirc

#

Yeah just listen to him haha

alpine shadow
leaden ginkgo
#

does square enix support really not send out automated emails on holidays/weekends

alpine shadow
#

#

Mounts FAQ
Info

'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.

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks!

#

I forgot you get your chocobo at 20 tbh

sick zenith
#

Odd question but is there a good way I can practice aetherial manipulation

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm only at 19 quests right now lopl

sick zenith
#

Youre close

#

Very

leaden ginkgo
#

I use my trusty Fenrir instead haha but I love my bird too

alpine shadow
#

@sick zenith extremes or in savage

leaden ginkgo
#

sick zenith
#

Oof

alpine shadow
#

i mean, you can do it anywhere

#

gotta be in party

#

so if you want to pracitce it with a doll, then you need an another person

sick zenith
#

Hmm. Maybe ill plow through msq to unlock trusts

#

Would that work too

#

Running trust dungeons?

alpine shadow
#

it should work yeah

#

never tried it

sick zenith
#

Its just finicky with controller but I know I can get good at it

#

Given that i can practice in a party setting

lofty pulsar
#

im in the book phase for the ARR relic weapon. Do I have to complete the entire book or just parts of one and move on to the next book?

desert ravine
#

Reading some Eden raid mechanics even though I can't do it yet, surprised that the phases and mechanics are way easier than destiny2 raids

jade quartz
#

Entire book

Are mages DPS?

alpine shadow
#

yes

#

unless counting white mage, no

#

wait, all healers are mages so

junior tundra
#

do viera still lack headgear

alpine shadow
#

yes

wild terrace
#

Guys im seriously stack for 3 hours now , im at lvl 23 there are literally no quests, Duty finder wants me to repeat old quests of lvl 20 and bellow which take 6+mins to find a team each and i m out of Leves

#

any other way to gain exp ?

alpine shadow
#

Literally no quests? No msq?

wild terrace
#

nothing appears i saw one which said lvl 25

#

but i cant enter

#

yet

echo harness
#

So I'm just beginning and wondering what job I should play. I've checked a few videos here and there explaining the classes but I'm undecided still.

I'm leaning towards support classes, White Mage in particular right now but I'm unsure about a couple things.

Is it a desired job - will I find groups easily as a white mage?
Is there a support class more desired and simply better than white mage?

alpine shadow
#

Whm is healing, so yeah it is a desired job.

#

and, there is no such thing as "not a desired job"

echo harness
#

Yeah, I saw that they are mostly balanced

#

But I'd be extremely surprised if there wasn't a preference, especially with the elitists

faint flare
#

Nope

#

Only shit players care for meta

alpine shadow
#

There is a preference in combinations, but not in what classes there are in total

echo harness
#

Not even blue mage? šŸ˜‚ I heard only bad things

faint flare
#

Even in speed kills its mostly even across most jobs

#

Blue isnt a real job

alpine shadow
#

uh, well blu is a completely seperate job

faint flare
#

from what I gathered everything is balanced except blu

alpine shadow

blu isnt balanced to any content

faint flare
#

Blue is side content

echo harness
#

lmao

alpine shadow

it is balanced only to itself

faint flare

It cant even go to 80

Only 60

Whats important on healer, crit ch or det... Some ppl tell me I should prioritize det, others crit ch

alpine shadow
#

It's not a job you can queue with df

faint flare
#

It cant que for dungeons traditionally or do quests other than its job quests

#

Its a LIMITED job

#

Aka side content

twilit arch
#

Piety to comfort, then generally crit > direct hit = determination @forest lark

echo harness
#

Would you guys have any recommendations for playing a support? As in which job, I'm a vet in the genre so I'm no stranger to weird/difficult mechanics

#

If not I'll just play wm

alpine shadow
#

idk support is dps classes like dnc

crimson wind
#

What's Innocene EXs tankbuster tell?

alpine shadow
#

and or ast

faint flare
#

Rightous bolt

#

Is its buster

#

Its a cast bar

crimson wind
#

actually he has a gender

#

Thought it wasn't a cast

faint flare
#

It is

crimson wind
#

Huh. Good.

faint flare
#

And he shouts "FEEL MY WROTH"

#

As well

crimson wind
#

I don't wanna

#

feel his wrath

#

I absolutely have to swap at buster?

faint flare
#

Currently yes

#

The vuln is strong

echo harness
#

btw I can't see anything about buying heavensward dlc, was it free? Or is it just included in shadowbringers

#

ty for the insight as well šŸ™‚

faint flare
#

Included in Shadowbringers

#

Se bundles old expansions into the newer one

echo harness
#

Good ol' Square Enix

#

Any must-do starting tips? Got a few hours before it finishes downloading, gonna watch a few more vids inbetween

alpine shadow
#

make sure you select a server with xp boost

echo harness
#

;o

#

is switching servers within the datacenters free?

alpine shadow
#

No

next steppe
#

when attempting to buy a house, how do you compete with those who just seem to run a script or something to constantly click the placard nonstop? been standing here watching this person nonstop headtilt for an hour or so, and I can't help but feel my attempt would be pointless

alpine shadow
#

Its free only if you are moving from Congested server to a Preferred/New server

echo harness
#

Gotcha

#

What about datacenters? Able to transfer or nah

alpine shadow
#

you can transfer

#

but it will cost

leaden ginkgo
#

Wouldnt like using a script get you banned lol

echo harness
#

Yall helpful, i like this lol

#

Yeah I figured

next steppe
#

I mean, I know you can macro key presses and stuff, right?

leaden ginkgo
#

You can but still

#

I think you can at least?

#

I never done it so idrk

next steppe
#

couldn't someone just use a macro to interact with the placard over and over? I feel like that's what this person is doing, they haven't missed a beat

alpine shadow
#

Buy a small house, then relocate

next steppe
#

well this is a small house plot

alpine shadow
#

welp

leaden ginkgo
#

That's pretty scummy imo lol

alpine shadow
#

buy an another small plot, then relocate to that other small plot

leaden ginkgo
#

Then again the way housing works is pretty shitty imho

next steppe
#

ha, there's no other small plots from what I can see :c the world I'm on is pretty full most of the time

#

but yeah, I agree on the housing thing

leaden ginkgo
#

Which world?

#

I'm on leviathan. It's near impossible here

next steppe
#

I'd totally take an auction or even some sort of roll/lotto thing

#

and Faerie@Aether

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

echo harness
#

Thanks again for answers, off to watch videos whilst this finishes downloading

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah on leviathan the housing market is fucking awful

faint flare
#

Its worst currently since auto demolishion is currently is currently turned off

#

So plots aren't freeing up

#

Often

leaden ginkgo
#

Yup

#

I think it's legit impossible on my world rn lol

hot eagle
#

more of a pain atm since the auto demolish timer isn't running because of covid so rarely any plots get free again

next steppe
#

yeah, I've realized that. I'm not even being picky, I just want something and was fucked out of my last house / gil, so

leaden ginkgo
#

I just bought an apartment and called it a day honestly

next steppe
#

yeah, I got an apartment too, it's comfy

leaden ginkgo
#

I never use my apartment but I like having it haha

next steppe
#

I don't even know why I want my own house. I suppose after almost having gotten one before and losing 3 mil, and finally getting it back again, I just wanted to give getting my own house a try

hot eagle
#

lucky I don't need to get since I allrdy own a large one on omega

leaden ginkgo
#

My friend got his own house so I just stick around there since I'm part owner to it

next steppe
#

oh yeah, that's kinda nice. I had something similar - helped an FC with their house, spending 3 mil on it then was kicked out, so

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

hard elk
#

what crafter than can craft DOM

twilit arch
#

weaver makes a fair number of caster gear

#

ltw/arm also makes several items

leaden ginkgo
#

My FC recently got rid of me lol. I left myself but the owner didnt like me and wanted to kick me

hard elk
#

okay thank you!

next steppe
#

yeah I just wish it wasn't after I spent 3 mil decorating their place for them. left me broke heh

twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
#

True actually.

next steppe
#

oh yeah, sorry, it was an odd question - more of a rant I suppose. my mistake!

keen storm
#

is it correct that retainer only need the armor and weapon? accs not needed ?

leaden ginkgo
#

I apologize lol I moved already

next wind
#

you will need accs if you want to reach the ilvl

faint flare
#

Retainers care about ilvl for combats

fresh lodge
#

Combat need accessories

next wind
#

each hunting item has ilvl requirement to complete

faint flare
#

Gathers care for gathering which arent usually.on accessories

next wind
#

and not having right side can really mess up your ilvl

fresh lodge
#

Gathering is only based on the gathering stat, so you can skip a lot of the gear

keen storm
#

so Combat need all stuff the others not ?

faint flare
#

Yes

gritty oracle
#

That being said, gatherer retainers use ilvl for quick ventures, not gathering.

keen storm
#

so i should aim for the highest Ilvl possible right now ?

#

or is there a cap to ?

twilit arch
#

yeah but gathering ilvl for quick ventures is lower than combat

keen storm
#

so combat seem to be 400

gritty oracle
#

I would say use gatherer gear in all slots you can, and use random high ilvl gear in other slots

keen storm
#

kk that make sense :)

next wind
#

what time do retainers training reset?

twilit arch
#

for reference my combat retainer's ilv is457, and my gatherer's retainer's ilvl is 430

next wind
#

crap not retainers

#

squadrons I mean

twilit arch
#

both get the "Your retainer's current gear should improve chances of finding rare items." message from quick ventures

next wind
#

we were just talking about retainers xD

twilit arch
#

so the ilvl for that message is pretty low

#

squadron training reset is the same time as gc daily and rowena's house of splendor reset

keen storm
#

well but cant eq BiS just for stuff o_o

#

i think that massege will always pop until it is bis

twilit arch
#

no, that message is when you're at the quick venture ilvl cap

#

if it wasn't at the ilvl cap the message would be something to the effect that if your retainer had better gear, it would have an effect on them finding better stuff

#

my gathering retainers are in swallowskin gear

#

so its not even close to BiS

keen storm
#

ahh fuu

#

i missunderstand / missread your massage xD

#

so that ilvl should be enough, kk thank you for clearing this out 3: much love~

pine bluff
#

do I need to have beaten ARR MSQ to unlock samurai?

twilit arch
#

no

#

just need to be lv50

pine bluff
#

was that a requirement before? some sites list it as a requirement

twilit arch
#

no

#

msq has never been required for samurai unlock

pine bluff
#

hmm ok, good thing I look at a few different sites then

young fjord
#

Is there any strat to using Fleche and Contre sixte on red mage or do I just press them when they are off cd?

twilit arch
#

pretty much press on cd

pine bluff
#

is shadowbringers collectors worth it? is it just the mount, the gunblade and the minion?

twilit arch
#

yep, so its up to you to decide whether those cosmetic items are worth the cost

leaden ginkgo
#

how does one use dyes?

pine bluff
#

@twilit arch definitely not worth $30 right? there are other cool mounts in the game..

twilit arch
#

I mean, like i said that's up to you to decide

#

idk what you think looks cool or not

pine bluff
#

kk

twilit arch
#

provided you've done the quest "Color Your World" (lvl 15 side quest in western thanalan), right click on a piece of gear that can be dyed and select "Dye"

#

not that not all items can be dyed, and dyeable items are indicated by a clear/coloured circle on the tooltip

#

i just obtained my lvl 80 relic weapon and shield (honourbound). can i evolve it somehow or is the version you obtain first its "final form"?

vernal girder
#

Hello! Hmm I want to ask if the voice actors for some main characters would be replaced with each expansion?
Asking so I’d prepare to not be so attached to the voices D:

twilit arch
#

no, its just ARR to HW where the English voice cast is replaced

#

with exception to yugiri's voice actress in hw, who is replaced later in the expac due to unfortunate circumstance

vernal girder
#

Aw man...

#

At least it doesn’t happen every time sigh

Thanks for the insight !@twilit arch

olive lintel
#

just grinded my miner to level 50. Just a question though, does the miner job quest limit you? Like can I be a level 80 miner without doing any job quest?

#

and not limit me to any miner features?

oblique python
#

you are the best, thank you

twilit arch
#

several skills are locked behind the class quests

#

so technically you can be a lvl 80 miner without doing them, but i would not recommend it at all

olive lintel
#

alright thanks! So its just like normal jobs then

#

i thought I can get away the job quests haha thanks!

twilit arch
#

yep yep

olive lintel
#

where do I get level 50 gear for miner?

alpine shadow
#

mb/crafting

twilit arch
#

you can grab a few pieces from the grand company

alpine shadow
#

or that

#

and you have yellow scrips

twilit arch
#

but i would recommend pushing to 51 and grabbing the archaeoskin set

alpine shadow
#

idk if they have lvl50 gear (for scrips)

twilit arch
#

they do not

alpine shadow
#

aw ok

olive lintel
#

let me check that set

silver vessel
#

Is dungeons the best way to get from 70-80?

#

Apart from the usual dailys and such

#

for an alt character

twilit arch
#

yeh

hot crane
#

hi, my storm squadron member's level stuck at 50 and I have no idea how to break the limit

#

some suggestion would be appreciated

green pagoda
#

@hot crane clear the lvl 40 mission to raise your rank

hot crane
#

ok ty

lost sinew
#

how would housing plots be opening up on a server with no plots available in the prior days? with demo off, doesn’t that mean people have to just choose to destroy their houses / give up their plots? or do plots open up when people get banned or delete their accounts?

jade quartz
#

Server transfers

lost sinew
#

AAAAAAH. omg that makes so much sense. i knew there had to be a more reasonable explanation.

crimson wind

How challenging is Hades EX?

feral nest
#

Quick dumb question: Is Mateus still an unofficial rp server?

hot dock
#

does spiritbond not work if you at cap level?

twilit arch
#

along side balmung, yes @feral nest

#

You can still spiritbond when you're max lvl @hot dock

hot dock
#

it seems to not go up for me

#

DRK

twilit arch
#

what are you currently fighting

hot dock
#

hunt train stuff

#

sometimes random stuff for drops

twilit arch
#

cos needs to be lvl appropriate stuff

#

so if you're 80, need to be doing lvl 80 content for spiritbonding

hot dock
#

Do hunt trains count?

twilit arch
#

do believe the A/S ranks should count but i've never really paid attention to it

minor blade
#

Hi a new player here, I have the activation code for the starter edition but was wondering where I'm supposed to input this to activate it?

hot dock
#

if you login to mogstation I think there's a spot

olive lintel
#

the scrips available now are just white gatherer and crafter scrips right? no more yellow?

minor blade
#

oh right sorry found it thanks

faint flare
#

Yellow exists

twilit arch
#

Yellow scrips are like phanta tomestones

#

with white scrips being like allegory

#

(except there's no weekly cap on white scrips)

#

yellow scrips get you the "low end" stuff, with white scrips being the "high end"

olive lintel
#

thanks!

#

at level 50 what scrips do i get?

#

i read that i need those for gears

twilit arch
#

you'd be earning yellow scrips. Though i don't remember if you can actually start earning yellow at 50 or if its like 55 or so since they've done some changes with things

olive lintel
#

alright thanks

#

so scrips are earned solely from collectibles right?

hot dock
#

yellow can be earned from ocean fishing as well

leaden ginkgo
#

@alpine shadow I’m just gonna reset my pc it was already slow enough as it is

hot dock
#

you can get both yellow and white from custom deliveries

olive lintel
#

oh okay im only leveling miner and botanist atm

#

@hot dock custom deliveries from?

hot dock
#

you unlock them

olive lintel
#

GC only gives seals

hot dock
#

idyllshire

olive lintel
#

okay what level is that? 60?

#

apologies for the questions, its my first non-combat job xD

minor blade
#

Is there a ffxiv staff I can ask questions about regarding activating my code?

alpine shadow
#

yeah, and make sure you use the same partition

hot dock
#

it should be 60

alpine shadow
#

no staff here btw

next wind
#

hey guys, apart from my weekly hunts at GC I haven't done any other hunts, my fc keeps posting coordinates in HW/SB areas saying rank A etc. Does this refer to hunt boards? Is there a guide I could read on how it works?

twilit arch
#

A/S rank hunts are mobs that spawn out in the open world on a timer

#

A ranks are generally like 4-6 hrs~ respawn timer

next wind
#

I see, to unlock their hunt, for example for a Fringes A rank I need to go to Rhaelgar reach and do some quest?

twilit arch
#

S ranks are on much longer respawn timer, like 50-80hrs~ and have certain conditions that much be meet during its window to be spawned

#

no

#

A/S ranks do not require any hunt bill or unlock

#

you just go there, tag and you will receive rewards when it is killed. ideally want to be in a party to make sure you receive full credit

next wind
#

oh so I don't even need to check hunt board or anything

#

literally just go and kill and get a reward?

twilit arch
#

yep

next wind
#

that's cool

#

is there a b rank as well?

#

or they're not worth it?

hot dock
#

A and S give most loot

#

I personally do what's around

hot eagle
#

is there a b rank as well?
@next wind b ranks are the weekly targets one from the hunt boards

twilit arch
#

B ranks are weekly hunts, so do those once a week from the hunt board

strong sphinx
#

when editing icon, lets say i want the macro to have the same icon of e.g the duty finder, how to it do it? I know that u need to use: /micon for it but idk the rest

#

when editing macro*

next wind
#

lol we've got A rank and I've got 484 experience points + 30 tomestones

#

is there some other reward that I didn't realise? as otherwise it's not worth it xD

#

*I was also in the party with the people as suggested

alpine shadow
#

@strong sphinx i dont think you can use Duty Finder icon as a micon

hot eagle
#

ppl mostly do hunts in trains were you kill like all a ranks from shb 1 after another so its 12 targets and each also has a good chance for clusters which u can exchange for grade 7/8 combat materia

next wind
#

hmm I see, so there's a chance for drop then? I just didn't have my luck?

leaden ginkgo
#

For Stone Vigil, any good way to avoid the goddamn dragon? I tried pulling into rooms but he still hit us over and over

hot dock
#

I hate that nobody in my DC wants to do savage eden gate sepulture

leaden ginkgo
#

Very rusty on this dungeon I should mention

strong sphinx
#

is there a list of all available micons?

hot dock
#

the dragon is unavoidable

strong sphinx
#

@alpine shadow

next wind
#

you can't avoid it, it will spit fire everytime you pass certain corridors

#

but it does low-ish damage

leaden ginkgo
#

So it's always gonna hit?

faint flare
#

Yes

next wind
#

if you're the first one running (tank) with a dash, you may sometimes avoid it

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay phew I thought i was doing something super wrong there

faint flare
#

In those specific spot

alpine shadow
#

@strong sphinx mostly its just normal action skills you can use as micon

leaden ginkgo
#

Those ice monsters also almost wiped us too, any good strats to kill those fast?

faint flare
#

Sprites? Just kill them

#

Yes

next wind
#

they appear randomly, it's up to a tank to know when they do and use defensive skills

faint flare
#

You return to yanixa later after azim step

next wind
#

random locations*

leaden ginkgo
#

They kept draining my health everytime. Like, I survived by the skin each time.

faint flare
#

On the other side of the barrier

next wind
#

are you a tank?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Use defensive cooldowns

next wind
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

Those didn't seem to help tbh

faint flare
#

They do

#

Alot

#

Trash hits harder than any boss

crimson crystal
#

Your healer will thank you

leaden ginkgo
#

Well like I mean, I had them on but my health dropped like fucking wildfire

faint flare
#

Make sure your gear isn't trash as well

next wind
#

once you do this dung several times you'll know when they appear and just don't pull like crazy before you reach those spots

leaden ginkgo
#

I should mention I'm a pretty low level DRK rn too so thats prob not helping much haha

next wind
#

yea gear is key

#

once you'll get your ironworks at lv50

#

you'll have no issues

faint flare
#

Gear is a major part

next wind
#

when I was levelling my pld before 50 I was struggling in every dungeon šŸ˜„

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah I try to not get crazy pulls. Honestly out of everything it was the ice spirtes that fucked me up the most

#

Not even the boss hit as hard.

faint flare
#

Magic tends it to hit šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

leaden ginkgo
#

True

next wind
#

trash is always harder than bosses if you pull a lot

leaden ginkgo
#

I didn't pull much at all. They are always in threes

next wind
#

I do wall 2 wall and sometimes without the def cooldowns would definitely wipe out

faint flare
#

Make sure gear is up to date and rotate cooldowns

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean we managed to not wipe at all so I guess i was doing something right at the very least

next wind
#

^ that's it really. But don't expect to have really good gear before you can buy ironworks

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah my gear is awful but its the best i can do rn

magic light
#

if you're desparate for gear

#

you've got GC gear

faint flare
#

You can buy gear off market

hot eagle
#

tanks and healer need the upgrade the gear faster as a dps or the party will have a hard time

next wind
#

ironworks will be 'free' you just need the tomestones, so focus on completeting ARR msq and you'll get there

leaden ginkgo
#

I could but i'm broke tbh lmao

faint flare
#

NQ gear from vendors is pretty trash

#

And barely worth it

magic light
#

GC gear's pretty okayish

#

just not 50

leaden ginkgo
#

Tbh I've never been great with managing gear so im a bit lost when it comes to figuring out whats appropriate to get at this point

crimson crystal
#

You can get good stuff from your job quests too

next wind
#

soap, it's really really easy

leaden ginkgo
#

I need to level up to do more job quests unfortunately

faint flare
#

Until 50, you're mostly getting gesr via dungeons and buying

#

Ontop of story

next wind
#
  1. wear whatever you get from dungeons 2. buy ironworks at 50 3. shire at 60 4. scavean at 70
#

that's all there is to gear management before 80

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't get shit from dungeons tbh

#

Like everyone else manages to grab them first

faint flare
#

Expansion levelling dungeons give you 1 guaranteed piece per run

next wind
#

are you rolling need/greed on each item?

knotty kraken
#

is there an updated light farming guide?

leaden ginkgo
#

If i can i need but otherwise i greed the ones i need

#

I just keep getting the shit hand haha

finite ferry
#

i just get shire weapon at 60 since job and msq give bunch of level 60 primal equips. also level 61 HQ equips cost like 5k

leaden ginkgo
#

Actually, I did manage to get a new helm so thats good.

twilit arch
#

for which relic @knotty kraken

next wind
#

but yea take a look at mb, you can buy some items for like 2-3k

thick bolt
#

It seems I can desynth all items, what's the point of leveling it up?

faint flare
#

Higher chance of rarer items

twilit arch
#

higher desynth level = better chance at rare items

faint flare
#

When you past the "required" amount

next wind
#

if you can't wait for lv50 ironworks and ARR completion

finite ferry
#

desync is best way to farm fieldcraft demi

leaden ginkgo
#

I already beat ARR haha

next wind
#

and you're not lv50 yet?

thick bolt
#

alright ty

leaden ginkgo
#

Dark knight.

#

I got through ARR with my PLD, i'm trying to level up DRK now

finite ferry
#

i can craft and mail you equips since you’re in primal soap.

next wind
#

okay so yea just gonna have to struggle until 50 or use mb

#

I kinda enjoyed the struggle šŸ˜„ helped me hone in my defensive cooldowns

leaden ginkgo
#

I can give you some Gil @finite ferry but fair warning, i'm broke haha

#

only got about 222K tbh lmaoo

crimson crystal
#

That's not broke lol

finite ferry
#

o ur fine then. i have 6 mil

leaden ginkgo
#

People tell me if you don't have a mill, your broke

spice void
#

Guys, if i played trial on steam, and got to 35 as some of the jobs/classes, if I buy the realm reborn (base game + sub) for the mog station, will i keep the char?

faint flare
#

You need to buy off steam

leaden ginkgo
#

wait really?

faint flare
#

If you used the trial on steam

twilit arch
#

steam trial locks you into steam

leaden ginkgo
#

Completely ignore my statement then

faint flare
#

Once you touch steam, you cant go back

#

Be it on trial or otherwise

spice void
#

so i'd have to reroll on another account right?

twilit arch
#

plus you can't buy off of the mogstation, it just redirects you to the approprate store page (SE store or psn if ps4)

faint flare
#

If you dont want to buy from steam

leaden ginkgo
#

I think i bought mine off steam

#

I just use steam anyhow

#

I thought i bought it off mog tho, cause I know for a fact I've played on PS4 on this same character

spice void
#

I don't know if i want or not want to buy from steam, I've read its easier to get discounts on the mogStation ver.

faint flare
#

Steam doesn't have sales too often

#

Plus Newegg has a sale on the game currently

#

So

leaden ginkgo
#

Well shit now I feel like I got ripped off lmao

crimson crystal
#

I mean you end up paying a monthly sub anyway so a few dollars off the game doesn't matter much in the end

#

IMO

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait is this only for the game itself?

next wind
#

true

twilit arch
#

yes, just the game itself

faint flare
#

Well money saved is money saved

leaden ginkgo
#

Cause if thats the case then idc, but if its like oh hey its a cheaper month then i'd be pissed off

crimson crystal
#

Nah

how do i leave a small fc i've been part of for about a year now but not enjoying it? i still wanna say goodbye but without pointing fingers or making it awkward

next wind
#

monthly sub is the same I think across the board

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay good haha

faint flare
#

The only way to get cheaper sub was play during 1.0

crimson crystal
#

Only "discount" on monthly sub is legacy people

leaden ginkgo
#

How much discount do they even get?

next wind
#

you can pay a bit less for 1 char tho

faint flare
#

Iirc over 4 dollars or something?

spice void
#

Can you change the character nickname for in game currency or is it a paid extra?

faint flare
#

Cant remember

crimson crystal
#

Yeah I always pay entry sub. Only one character

leaden ginkgo
#

I really should do that honestly. I pay for the 8 but I only use 1 character

faint flare
#

Paid extra

crimson crystal
#

Legacy is $9.99

leaden ginkgo
#

You gotta pay extra for name changes

next wind
#

I honestly have no idea why would anyone need 2nd char here xD

leaden ginkgo
#

It's like $10 iirc

faint flare
#

12

leaden ginkgo
#

Dude I dont understand how people have alts. My 1 character is plenty enough

spice void
#

How much is a sub for 1 character?

next wind
#

it would be so inconvenient to do msq from the beginning just to level an alt

twilit arch
#

!faq subprice

faint flare
#

!faq subprice

zinc orbitBOT

Subscription Prices
faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

Shit i could have been paying $13? Fuck this dude I gotta get on board that haha

faint flare
#

Entry is what you want

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk why i pay extra for slots i never use tbh

spice void
#

And it's 1 per server not 1 overall, sweet

faint flare
#

8 max

spice void
#

And does the non entry one come with any other extras?

faint flare
#

Nope

spice void
#

sweet

leaden ginkgo
#

Imagine having 7 alts

spice void
#

Then i would probably abandon the 35 lvl steam trial

faint flare
#

I have 3 alts for different servers

#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

leaden ginkgo
#

I have on alt but I think i deleted him

spice void
#

since it has a troll nickname

leaden ginkgo
#

He was my trial I think

next wind
#

yea but you don't level your alts do you, just for the mb šŸ˜„

crimson crystal
#

What's the most efficient way to farm crystal sand (?) for anima? I've been doing arr extremes

twilit arch
#

blue scrip tokens

#

assuming you have a crafter/gatherer leveled

spice void
#

Okay guys, so lets say i want to start over and get the Realm Reborn on mog station. Do i have to create a new square enix account?

leaden ginkgo
#

No

crimson crystal
#

What level? 60?

leaden ginkgo
#

You can just delete the character if you aren't gonna use it anymore

twilit arch
#

like 55+

#

just need to be able to earn yellow scrips from collectables

spice void
#

So the account is usable on both mog station ver and steam, but the characters aren't. Is that right?

crimson crystal
#

Okay my fisher is almost there

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean i use steam so idk

#

I wouldn't personally think it would matter but don't take my word for that

faint flare
#

You cant put a non steam license on a account that has Steam stuff on it

#

So i believe you would need a new account

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait then how tf did I play on PS4?

faint flare
#

Completely

#

Ps4 is fine

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

faint flare
#

Its just steam vs standalone

twilit arch
#

i'm not entirely certain how to go about making a new service account on a trial account

faint flare
#

Cause steam licensing

leaden ginkgo
#

That's kinda lame ngl

twilit arch
#

but you can have multiple service accounts under one mogstation account

leaden ginkgo
#

Wouldn't you just make a new character pretty much?

spice void
#

@faint flare can i PM you since i'd like to set that up and not spam here?

leaden ginkgo
#

Like delete the old in this case and make a new one

twilit arch
#

yes, you'd be effectively starting over

leaden ginkgo
#

That's what he's planning on doing I think

faint flare
#

I busy atm so šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø raiding

spice void
#

okay then

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah @spice void just delete the one you aren't gonna use, make a new one when you buy on mog

spice void
#

do you guys maybe have a website with tutorial or Q&A regarding this topic?

leaden ginkgo
#

Well like, your just planning on making a new character and buying via mog yeah?

spice void
#

yeah, just start from scratch, get a Realm Reborn and get up to lvl 50

#

then decide if i want to get the shadowbringers

#

etc.

leaden ginkgo
#

So yeah, delete the steam character first and foremost

#

I'm not fully certain how it works when you buy it on mog but i'd assume you get the XIV launcher

#

Wait actually, correct me if I'm wrong here but wouldn't buying the game, then deleting a character to replace it not really matter? Like it wouldn't void out anything right?

faint flare
#

No since you basically need a new SE account

#

Afaik

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay

#

So then he should just delete the trial character and just go on as you normally would then?

#

I'm prob overthinking this whole process tbh so i apologize haha

faint flare
#

Doesn't matter...need to make a entirely new account like new login stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh shit your right actually

#

Goddamn steam link making things harder than they need to be

sick zenith
#

What can I run with ny group after titan hard

leaden ginkgo
#

Titan hard, again

sick zenith
#

lol

olive nebula
#

Does anyone know if my friend can get his free 30 days without a ps4 but just getting the online starter edition?

raw zodiac
#

If the account was a trail account from the ff14 launcher (not steam) you can use it on steam as long as subscription wasn’t bought

leaden ginkgo
#

wdym without a ps4?

raw zodiac
#

I don’t know anything about the ps4 version

forest laurel
#

honestly I don't think so

olive nebula
#

Just purchasing it via psn store on web

leaden ginkgo
#

Like, the psn store website?

faint flare
#

You need a ps4

#

No other way

#

Since you need to actually launch it

#

To link the psn to your Mogstation so it actually gives you the time

olive nebula
#

yes soap

leaden ginkgo
#

hello, when I play ffxiv it doesn't show up in the game activity tab on discord, all other games do show up except ffxiv, the launcher does show up but when i start the game it's not in the game activity anymore on discord, anyone has a solution to this?

#

Yeah if your buying it on the psn store its exclusively the PS4 version

#

You could play on PC and PS4, but only if you bought BOTH versions. It sucks, I know lol.

olive nebula
#

He has an account already on pc but if there's no other way than I might need to do my own magic

spice void
#

I hope i wont to have redownload anytrhing if i have the FF XIV launcher and i played on steam

olive nebula
#

Nah he just wants the free 30 days that's really it

leaden ginkgo
#

Then he has to buy it again on PS4

faint flare
#

You need the ps4 to actually get the days

#

Can't do it without

leaden ginkgo
#

It's basically 30 days plus the 30 you bought iirc

hot dock
#

I see in the duty finder there's X other recruiting what does that mean

faint flare
#

Its the number of parties in party finder

hot dock
#

like X in the same duty as me or X parties recruiting

spice void
#

Oh cmon i cannot reuse my mail...

hot dock
#

for some duty

leaden ginkgo
#

It really just dawned on me I spent another $60 on this game to play on PS4, which I don't do anymore lmfao

faint flare
#

Its the number of parties in Party finder thats looking to do that instance

spice void
#

There's no way to reuse my mail, is there?

leaden ginkgo
#

Also yeah @spice void your gonna need another email

spice void
#

i've canceled the steam Square Enix acc

faint flare
#

If you right click and show the parties it takes you to party finder

leaden ginkgo
#

It's still a square enix account as a whole I believe

spice void
#

Yes, but i hoped cancelling it would free my mail

tiny gyro
#

I'm trying to login to my square enix account on ps4 for ffxiv. When entering my ID, it keeps deleting a letter which I'm guessing means it's too long. The problem is, I used it login into the website from my laptop. What do I do? Also, what's a one time password?

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean, honestly I would just make another email in this case tbh

limpid swan
#

Hi there.. whats the correct channel for a completely new player?

forest laurel
#

this one?

leaden ginkgo
#

Pretty much haha

tiny gyro
#

Also, how can I get to the ps store page to download this game for free? I walked my friend through what I did to get it, but it showed a different game for him

limpid swan
#

Oh right on! I got this game at launch got to like 30 and it was epic fails. then the redid the whole game so my chars are gone.. so i made a new trial account to see whats up. Its been basically walking around solo since nobody seems to see my messages, cant send tells, map chat, nor use all of the group finder.. whats the deal? How should I go about really checking it all out?

leaden ginkgo
#

It showed a different game?

trail bramble
#

where can i get the skybuilder's iron ore?

leaden ginkgo
#

@limpid swan Having a trial account limits a lot of stuff you can do socially unfortunately

limpid swan
#

Ive submitted the form to try to transfer my game from OG account to this new acc, since I dont ever use that old email anyway, then i can try a sub but first i wanted to see what the game is now

leaden ginkgo
#

In your case, I'd say play the game some, see if you like what you see, and if you do buy it and get into the rest of the stuff. Imo, it's very worth it.

#

The game has gotten SO much better haha

balmy rampart
#

what is an opener and what is prepull obv an opener is what you open with and a prepull is what you use before they start pulling but could someone clarify why these moves are used in that way

tiny gyro
#

Can someone help me?

limpid swan
#

alright.. im coming from years for GW2 where the combat is much more fluid and actiony, Am i right in thinking its more staticy or something here? I DO like having an actual sense of progression here instead of just farming vanity

twilit arch
#

openers are basically what theorycrafters have come up with as the best dmg to do at the start of a fight

leaden ginkgo
#

@tiny gyro What game is he seeing?

tiny gyro
#

WWE 2k20 80% off

leaden ginkgo
#

@limpid swan If you ever played WoW, it's similar but, imho, much better.

#

Is he typing in FFXIV or?

tiny gyro
#

When I told him to try that the starter edition didnt show up

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm, that's actually kinda odd.

#

I would help but i dont really know how to in this case tbh, sorry man

#

Maybe try looking it up on the psn store via google or something?

tiny gyro
#

Alright, what about the question before that

leaden ginkgo
#

I also don't really know for that case as well. I never had these issues when I played on PS4 so i'm not the best go to for this. One time passwords are mostly just used when your making a SE account

tiny gyro
#

Damn

twilit arch
#

one time passwords are if you have two factor authenticator tied to your account

#

if you don't have that, you simply ignore that section

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah, I only used that thing once so that was my mistake

frank anchor
#

ok so I got to level 80 and I have all my gear score at 480, where do I get higher gear after this?

spice void
#

Ok, i've got the fresh acc, and i've noticed i can go on trial until 35 then transfer after buying realm reborn

#

Is it a good idea, or does realm reborn give me something pre 35 that is nice

leaden ginkgo
#

You can use the social stuff more but thats about it iirc

#

Personally I would wait until you hit 35

twilit arch
#

@frank anchor do lvl 80 content to get allegory/do savage

forest lark
#

leaden ginkgo
hot eagle
faint flare
#

Check the calamity salvager for blue weapon

zealous phoenix
#

And if i buy Shadowbringers from the ps store, it'll still apply to my game right?

#

or do I have to buy it from the square store

leaden ginkgo
#

It'll apply to the PS4 version

faint flare
#

If you got the base game from ps4 yes

zealous phoenix
#

I have starter edition so it shouldn't be an issue i presume

faint flare
#

And allows the ps4 to do everything

#

Ps4 basically does most the account stuff for you

vital dirge
#

Anyone know which server is best for someone who wants to join an endgame static?

leaden ginkgo
#

Nope. Iirc, you'll also get HW and SB

faint flare
#

Once you link it

iron oracle
#

why ppl can send tell to me but when i send tell back the system said the message could not be sent?

leaden ginkgo
#

Are you a trial account by chance?

iron oracle
#

no

twilit arch
#

the SE store is a physical copy of the game

zealous phoenix
#

so just have to buy Shadowbringers on ps storer and then i'm set

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

zealous phoenix

wind kindle
#

Hello, why can't I put the armor on as Glamour even though it is below my level and it is accessible for my class?

leaden ginkgo
#

You have to dispell the glamour

wind kindle
#

Oh, alright, thank you.

leaden ginkgo
#

9 times out of 10 you have glamour on that specific piece

twilit arch
#

you also need to make sure that the item you're trying to glamour is same level req or lower than what you're wearing
