Also do we have any percentage estimates on how rare the ShB EX mounts are?
assuming drop rate buffs have been the same across expansions, probably like 10%. no official info of course
Yes
how hard is it to do it with a PF then
depends on the extreme usually
If you know the mechanic, not really hard at all
Its level 70 content so you have a bit of wiggle room
Innocence/Titania
Besides Hades, all of the ShB ones so far have been pretty tame in difficulty.
I'd assume the first 2 would be fairly tame considering my Ilvl?
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
The adds wombo combo
Hello all. New player here. How can I get to Hidden Gorge? I want to do some 24v24 pvp
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.
I am at the wolves den but find no option to enter anywhere
you queue for it like any other duty
the category for PVP instances is the crossed swords icon in the duty finder
To pvp profile? I have it locked so I must be missing a quest?
did you do the quest "A pup no longer"?
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
yes, earning your wings is the unlock for hidden gorge
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!
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?
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 š¦
roulettes are completely optional
but in terms of experience, the big ones are Leveling, Alliance Raid, and Main Scenario
Yeah the main scenario is just horrible. An hour of unskippable cutscenes and boss fights that i hVe done too many times
Primal weapons always drop
If I'm OT and need to swap, I just turn stance on and provoke?
@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
yea I want the glowy ones
@crimson wind yep
k
the drop rate is horrible or worth the grind?
No need for flood of shadow on Innocence EX yeah?
Yep, it's all single target
k so I'll just replace flood with provoke
@next wind pretty low drop rate for current expansion primals, but for the older ones they feel like low-double digits
So do we swap back once MT gets back to full or swap after next tankbuster?
generally whenever a tankbuster happens that forces a swap
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.
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?
for the most part, yeah. Just make sure to leave yourself with enough MP to use TBN as needed.
I don't over use my MP
and to leave enough blackblood to use living shadow
I always have enough for TBN
Basically good idea - weaving cds unless you know a event where they are needed will happen before they cd
one last question. Any way to get 6 GCDs in a BW or Delirium?
And should I slot in some materia?
5 is the limit
sucks
and materia should always be melded in your gear, even if it's cheap materia like grade 6
BW absolutely not, Delirium...maybe with some fight specific haste buff or something
6 would require the skill speed to be like, <2s or smth which is impossible normally
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
is asking for advice on account issues okay here?
And how do I unlock materia melding?
yeah its fine Jim
Complete the quest "forging the Spirit" and "Waking the spirit" in central thanalan at The Bonfire, north of the aetheryte
Kk
is anyone familiar with unlinking a square enix account from a PSN account
not personally no. I'll leave that to somebody else
I've never heard of anyone being able to get SE to do that for them. :\
i'm kind of in a complicated situation
i know it's possible but theres a lot of factors that worry me
did you link your SE account to a PSN that was not yours?
is the 200 poetics and 10 tomestone from prae only once a day? or it's spammable?
and have now lost access to that PSN?
well no
spammable yes but not recommended bc of how long it takes
i still have the psn, i just want to put another square enix account onto it
i want the phoenix, planning to do it 5 times lol
from what I've heard ppl spam aurum vale for the event tomestones
phoenix?
i mean the bird looking mount from ticket exchange
you sure you wanna do praetorian that many times
oh from the moogle event?
there are better options than Praetorium
well whatever that is
haha pvp is the most popular to spam
^
and the fastest unless you have the blue mage
in which case aurum vale, but you need at least 2 blue mages
you don't have to win, just participate. good for some wolf marks for glam gear too while you're there
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

Never heard of anyone in your situation before so I canāt say. :/
yea it's really specific and dumb
only FF14
where do I augment this? seika augments shire gear only
Since SE Account is seperate from PSN account
no she doesnt?
i cant find the option anymore
you're looking at the wrong set of stuff. the upgrader handles it all
in idleshire
@olive lintel select āEikonic Gear ReOutfittingā from her
yes the same person that augments shire also handles the previous stuff
let me check
Are there weapon enchantments?
nope
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
I know I ask variations of this same question a lot as I advance
But
Can ifrit hard be run blind?
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
The ones that are "hard" per se is extremes
Alright. Its hard to know whats considered actually hard content from in game descriptions
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
Or just skip to Ultimate
@alpine shadow ive been reading over it again and again and you're probably right, thanks
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
Ok. I intend to clear everything synced within reason for challenge purposes
Including extremes and stuff
I doubt you'd find synced extremes for old content
Only on current lvl80 extremes you would do synced
You could possibly find some people interested in that
I think i have a group to run old content with
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
Yeah but I dont want to go straight to the top
Some of the older EX and Savage are still good challenges and good fun if you do them with minimum ilvl
Im not that good
The other option to do old content, is doing blu, where you would do synced low lvl stuff
lvl80 extremes > savage > ultimate
ok but these old extremes are invalid. You could do the normal level 80 stuff, then move through it like Thaun listed
Then you need to recruit players on your own or find groups of players who want do older contents with minimum ilvl
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
They don't really prove anything to anyone.
You sure you mean "old content" means "synced old content" and not "unsynced farm party"?
Its not a challenge even synced
Im not trying to prove anything to anyone lol
as characters have changed too much
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?
yeah, you are on the highest ilvl when synced anyway
you could min-ilvl it Thaun
Ocean Fishing
So what youre trying to explain is that non current raid content simply isnt that challenging anymore even synced
yes
yes, min-ilvl is the only way to challange yourself
Ok that i can understand
classes have changed too drastically
Makes sense
you're outputting WAY more damage and taking way less even synched
even tier 1 of savage is outdated imo
they wernt meant to be kept competetive outside of thier release window
@alpine shadow How to do the ocean fishing?
Well im new to MMOs in a sense so it will still be challenging for me im sure
and you should see a port and a quest there
In all honestly its the wrong place to start learning.
They design everything without assuming you've done anything else
Ahh found it. Thanks sirs 
so learning with current things is more productive and you're 100% going to find people to do that with you
All i asked was when do I need to start guide peeking
If i wanna clear old content I can
Ty tho!
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
honestly if you can clear ultimate fights you can basically consider everything thats not ultimate cleared by default
Wait
Does ffxiv download to the my documents folder even tho I downloaded it in a different drive?
No
Then idk why I canāt download it
Can we obtain these coffers later on or anywhere . I like two of them so...
Yes, everything is available through other methods.
Yes
Thanks. what should I do to obtain other ones ?
I tried closing and restarting several times
I restarted my router as well and turned off fire wall
how much space on your harddisk do you have?
Hmm that's the old lore tomestone gear.
My c drive?
yeah
Those sets are obtainable from the tomestone exchange in Idyllshire
for Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.
Like 2 gb
oh okay thanks
Yeah
C Drive?
Yea
dude, thats killing your computer
??
i mean, having 2GB space left isnt good for when windows is going to store temp files all the time
@fast kernel Thanks I will lok for them
that might be the reason it wont download
Then how do I get more space there is like nothing in there
you have nothing in your c drive?
Basically nothing is in there
not even windows?
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
Kk I will reset my pc then?
So itās fresh and everything can be downloaded on my d drive
you can probably extend your c drive with disk manager
How do you extend
Is the D drive on the same disk as your c?
No it has 900 gb space but only 200 now because of games
i mean, is it on the same physical harddisk
Yes
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
I bet its the disk space
Kk gimmie a sec Iāll get back to u soon
2 gig of empty data is actually 0 gig of empty data

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.
Not here
Examine people in game
Then view their free company profile
If it looks like a good place apply
Ok cool, yeah I wasn't looking for a free company here. It was just a question. Hence the name of the channel. Thanks
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
#recruitment-crystal
Oh ok, people can be touchy where you post things. Didn't mean to assume
Im more likely to get in trouble then enforce rules
where do you get pure white dye?
mog station.
no other means? xD
general purpose pure white dye is from retainers
There is a general purpose variation
they're...the same
They are the same, General purpose can be traded in marketboard, but it is rather expensive
yep
Like 6 digit expensive
I just buy them off the mogstation
So real world money or in-game gils...
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
let me check
If you can recruit someone
glam is expensive
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
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
ok thank you
trust me. there isnt an australian se account
ohh i think i have some chocobo feathers let me check
na/eu/jp. thats it
The three regions are North America (NA), Japan (JP), and "Europe & Other Regions" (EU)
@leaden ginkgo btw, how much space did you first assign it to?
/gpose
does the scholar have a unique mount like the conjurer unicorn?
no

how to overmeld
Anyone know how to bind a phrase when you do your LB?
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
so the lvl mus b on par or higher than the eq
How exactly would I do that then lol
you spam that however
and all you will get
is dirty looks
advice from 1 player to another, just...don't
I mean I dont plan on binding things to common attacks
Like only like the one I used at the end or start
is there a short cut to try gear on? like shift+right click on a gear piece to try it on or so?
Remind me, where's the macro menu? I just returned recently so I'm still readjusting to.. everything.
are we talking looks or stats @strong sphinx ?
looks but also stats now that you mentioned it haha
both are accessed through the right click menu
I don't believe theres a shortcut like other mmos
oh damn but thx anyway!
@leaden ginkgo System > Macro
How does interupts work? what can I interupt? (interject)
I might be wrong since I dint use it much but you cast during their attacks iirc
Yeah just listen to him haha
does square enix support really not send out automated emails on holidays/weekends
thank you!!!
Also, how does one unlock mounts? I have resarched but there is no clear answer
im level 22
I usually just stun when I see that tbh
!faq mount

'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.
Odd question but is there a good way I can practice aetherial manipulation
I'm only at 19 quests right now lopl
I use my trusty Fenrir instead haha but I love my bird too
AHH 20 quests right now, time to grind
Oof
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
Hmm. Maybe ill plow through msq to unlock trusts
Would that work too
Running trust dungeons?
Its just finicky with controller but I know I can get good at it
Given that i can practice in a party setting
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?
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
Entire book
.......................................
Are mages DPS?
do viera still lack headgear
yes
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 ?
Literally no quests? No msq?
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?
Whm is healing, so yeah it is a desired job.
and, there is no such thing as "not a desired job"
Yeah, I saw that they are mostly balanced
But I'd be extremely surprised if there wasn't a preference, especially with the elitists
There is a preference in combinations, but not in what classes there are in total
Not even blue mage? š I heard only bad things
uh, well blu is a completely seperate job
Literally
from what I gathered everything is balanced except blu
blu isnt balanced to any content
Blue is side content
lmao
it is balanced only to itself
š®
Whats important on healer, crit ch or det... Some ppl tell me I should prioritize det, others crit ch
It's not a job you can queue with df
It cant que for dungeons traditionally or do quests other than its job quests
Its a LIMITED job
Aka side content
Piety to comfort, then generally crit > direct hit = determination @forest lark
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
idk support is dps classes like dnc
What's Innocene EXs tankbuster tell?
and or ast
It is
Huh. Good.
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 š
Good ol' Square Enix
Any must-do starting tips? Got a few hours before it finishes downloading, gonna watch a few more vids inbetween
make sure you select a server with xp boost
No
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
Its free only if you are moving from Congested server to a Preferred/New server
Wouldnt like using a script get you banned lol
I mean, I know you can macro key presses and stuff, right?
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
Buy a small house, then relocate
well this is a small house plot
welp
That's pretty scummy imo lol
buy an another small plot, then relocate to that other small plot
Then again the way housing works is pretty shitty imho
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
Ah
Thanks again for answers, off to watch videos whilst this finishes downloading
Yeah on leviathan the housing market is fucking awful
Its worst currently since auto demolishion is currently is currently turned off
So plots aren't freeing up
Often
more of a pain atm since the auto demolish timer isn't running because of covid so rarely any plots get free again
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
I just bought an apartment and called it a day honestly
yeah, I got an apartment too, it's comfy
I never use my apartment but I like having it haha
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
lucky I don't need to get since I allrdy own a large one on omega
My friend got his own house so I just stick around there since I'm part owner to it
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_(ć)_/ĀÆ
what crafter than can craft DOM
My FC recently got rid of me lol. I left myself but the owner didnt like me and wanted to kick me
okay thank you!
yeah I just wish it wasn't after I spent 3 mil decorating their place for them. left me broke heh
the housing talk is probably better suited to #general-discussion
True actually.
oh yeah, sorry, it was an odd question - more of a rant I suppose. my mistake!

is it correct that retainer only need the armor and weapon? accs not needed ?
I apologize lol I moved already
you will need accs if you want to reach the ilvl
Retainers care about ilvl for combats
Combat need accessories
each hunting item has ilvl requirement to complete
Gathers care for gathering which arent usually.on accessories
and not having right side can really mess up your ilvl
Gathering is only based on the gathering stat, so you can skip a lot of the gear
so Combat need all stuff the others not ?
Yes
That being said, gatherer retainers use ilvl for quick ventures, not gathering.
yeah but gathering ilvl for quick ventures is lower than combat
so combat seem to be 400
I would say use gatherer gear in all slots you can, and use random high ilvl gear in other slots
kk that make sense :)
what time do retainers training reset?
for reference my combat retainer's ilv is457, and my gatherer's retainer's ilvl is 430
both get the "Your retainer's current gear should improve chances of finding rare items." message from quick ventures
we were just talking about retainers xD
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
well but cant eq BiS just for stuff o_o
i think that massege will always pop until it is bis
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
ahh fuu
i missunderstand / missread your massage xD
so that ilvl should be enough, kk thank you for clearing this out 3: much love~
do I need to have beaten ARR MSQ to unlock samurai?
was that a requirement before? some sites list it as a requirement
hmm ok, good thing I look at a few different sites then
Is there any strat to using Fleche and Contre sixte on red mage or do I just press them when they are off cd?
pretty much press on cd
is shadowbringers collectors worth it? is it just the mount, the gunblade and the minion?
yep, so its up to you to decide whether those cosmetic items are worth the cost
how does one use dyes?
@twilit arch definitely not worth $30 right? there are other cool mounts in the game..
kk
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"?
Hello! Hmm I want to ask if the voice actors for some main characters would be replaced with each expansion?
Asking so Iād prepare to not be so attached to the voices D:
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
Aw man...
At least it doesnāt happen every time sigh
Thanks for the insight !@twilit arch

@green pagoda those are the final forms for those armour/weapon since the shb relic isn't built off of the artifact weapon this time
hm...kinda sad but oh well
Is there a free trial for the PC? I've been looking around and I see people saying that there is but i cannot figure out how to download it
!faq gotrial
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?
you are the best, thank you
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
alright thanks! So its just like normal jobs then
i thought I can get away the job quests haha thanks!
yep yep
where do I get level 50 gear for miner?
mb/crafting
you can grab a few pieces from the grand company
but i would recommend pushing to 51 and grabbing the archaeoskin set
idk if they have lvl50 gear (for scrips)
they do not
aw ok
let me check that set
Is dungeons the best way to get from 70-80?
Apart from the usual dailys and such
for an alt character
yeh
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
@hot crane clear the lvl 40 mission to raise your rank
ok ty
how would housing plots be opening up on a server with no plots available in the prior days? with demo off, doesnāt 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?
Server transfers
AAAAAAH. omg that makes so much sense. i knew there had to be a more reasonable explanation.
How challenging is Hades EX?
Quick dumb question: Is Mateus still an unofficial rp server?
does spiritbond not work if you at cap level?
along side balmung, yes @feral nest
You can still spiritbond when you're max lvl @hot dock
what are you currently fighting
cos needs to be lvl appropriate stuff
so if you're 80, need to be doing lvl 80 content for spiritbonding
Do hunt trains count?
do believe the A/S ranks should count but i've never really paid attention to it
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?
if you login to mogstation I think there's a spot
the scrips available now are just white gatherer and crafter scrips right? no more yellow?
oh right sorry found it thanks
Yellow exists
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"
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
yellow can be earned from ocean fishing as well
@alpine shadow Iām just gonna reset my pc it was already slow enough as it is
you can get both yellow and white from custom deliveries
you unlock them
GC only gives seals
idyllshire
okay what level is that? 60?
apologies for the questions, its my first non-combat job xD
Is there a ffxiv staff I can ask questions about regarding activating my code?
yeah, and make sure you use the same partition
it should be 60
no staff here btw
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?
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
I see, to unlock their hunt, for example for a Fringes A rank I need to go to Rhaelgar reach and do some quest?
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
oh so I don't even need to check hunt board or anything
literally just go and kill and get a reward?
yep
is there a b rank as well?
@next wind b ranks are the weekly targets one from the hunt boards
B ranks are weekly hunts, so do those once a week from the hunt board
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*
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
@strong sphinx i dont think you can use Duty Finder icon as a micon
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
hmm I see, so there's a chance for drop then? I just didn't have my luck?

For Stone Vigil, any good way to avoid the goddamn dragon? I tried pulling into rooms but he still hit us over and over
I hate that nobody in my DC wants to do savage eden gate sepulture
Very rusty on this dungeon I should mention
is there a list of all available micons?
the dragon is unavoidable
@alpine shadow
you can't avoid it, it will spit fire everytime you pass certain corridors
but it does low-ish damage
So it's always gonna hit?
Yes
if you're the first one running (tank) with a dash, you may sometimes avoid it
Okay phew I thought i was doing something super wrong there
In those specific spot
@strong sphinx mostly its just normal action skills you can use as micon
Those ice monsters also almost wiped us too, any good strats to kill those fast?
they appear randomly, it's up to a tank to know when they do and use defensive skills
You return to yanixa later after azim step
random locations*
They kept draining my health everytime. Like, I survived by the skin each time.
On the other side of the barrier
are you a tank?
Yes
Use defensive cooldowns
^
Those didn't seem to help tbh
Your healer will thank you
Well like I mean, I had them on but my health dropped like fucking wildfire
Make sure your gear isn't trash as well
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
I should mention I'm a pretty low level DRK rn too so thats prob not helping much haha
Gear is a major part
when I was levelling my pld before 50 I was struggling in every dungeon š
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.
Magic tends it to hit š¤·āāļø
True
trash is always harder than bosses if you pull a lot
I didn't pull much at all. They are always in threes
I do wall 2 wall and sometimes without the def cooldowns would definitely wipe out
Make sure gear is up to date and rotate cooldowns
I mean we managed to not wipe at all so I guess i was doing something right at the very least
^ that's it really. But don't expect to have really good gear before you can buy ironworks
Yeah my gear is awful but its the best i can do rn
You can buy gear off market
tanks and healer need the upgrade the gear faster as a dps or the party will have a hard time
ironworks will be 'free' you just need the tomestones, so focus on completeting ARR msq and you'll get there
I could but i'm broke tbh lmao
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
You can get good stuff from your job quests too
soap, it's really really easy
I need to level up to do more job quests unfortunately
- 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
Expansion levelling dungeons give you 1 guaranteed piece per run
are you rolling need/greed on each item?
is there an updated light farming guide?
If i can i need but otherwise i greed the ones i need
I just keep getting the shit hand haha
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
Actually, I did manage to get a new helm so thats good.
for which relic @knotty kraken
but yea take a look at mb, you can buy some items for like 2-3k
It seems I can desynth all items, what's the point of leveling it up?
Higher chance of rarer items
higher desynth level = better chance at rare items
When you past the "required" amount
if you can't wait for lv50 ironworks and ARR completion
desync is best way to farm fieldcraft demi
I already beat ARR haha
and you're not lv50 yet?
alright ty
i can craft and mail you equips since youāre in primal soap.
okay so yea just gonna have to struggle until 50 or use mb
I kinda enjoyed the struggle š helped me hone in my defensive cooldowns
I can give you some Gil @finite ferry but fair warning, i'm broke haha
only got about 222K tbh lmaoo
That's not broke lol
o ur fine then. i have 6 mil
People tell me if you don't have a mill, your broke
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?
You need to buy off steam
wait really?
If you used the trial on steam
steam trial locks you into steam
Completely ignore my statement then
so i'd have to reroll on another account right?
plus you can't buy off of the mogstation, it just redirects you to the approprate store page (SE store or psn if ps4)
If you dont want to buy from steam
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
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.
Steam doesn't have sales too often
Plus Newegg has a sale on the game currently
So
Well shit now I feel like I got ripped off lmao
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
Wait is this only for the game itself?
true
yes, just the game itself
Cause if thats the case then idc, but if its like oh hey its a cheaper month then i'd be pissed off
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
monthly sub is the same I think across the board
Ah okay good haha
The only way to get cheaper sub was play during 1.0
Only "discount" on monthly sub is legacy people
How much discount do they even get?
you can pay a bit less for 1 char tho
Iirc over 4 dollars or something?
Can you change the character nickname for in game currency or is it a paid extra?
Cant remember
Yeah I always pay entry sub. Only one character
I really should do that honestly. I pay for the 8 but I only use 1 character
Paid extra
Legacy is $9.99
You gotta pay extra for name changes
I honestly have no idea why would anyone need 2nd char here xD
It's like $10 iirc
12
Dude I dont understand how people have alts. My 1 character is plenty enough
How much is a sub for 1 character?
it would be so inconvenient to do msq from the beginning just to level an alt
!faq subprice
!faq subprice

Shit i could have been paying $13? Fuck this dude I gotta get on board that haha
Entry is what you want
Idk why i pay extra for slots i never use tbh
And it's 1 per server not 1 overall, sweet
8 max
And does the non entry one come with any other extras?
Nope
sweet
Imagine having 7 alts
Then i would probably abandon the 35 lvl steam trial
I have on alt but I think i deleted him
since it has a troll nickname
He was my trial I think
yea but you don't level your alts do you, just for the mb š
What's the most efficient way to farm crystal sand (?) for anima? I've been doing arr extremes
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?
No
What level? 60?
You can just delete the character if you aren't gonna use it anymore
So the account is usable on both mog station ver and steam, but the characters aren't. Is that right?
Okay my fisher is almost there
I mean i use steam so idk
I wouldn't personally think it would matter but don't take my word for that
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
Wait then how tf did I play on PS4?
Ah
Its just steam vs standalone
i'm not entirely certain how to go about making a new service account on a trial account
Cause steam licensing
That's kinda lame ngl
but you can have multiple service accounts under one mogstation account
Wouldn't you just make a new character pretty much?
@faint flare can i PM you since i'd like to set that up and not spam here?
Like delete the old in this case and make a new one
yes, you'd be effectively starting over
That's what he's planning on doing I think
I busy atm so š¤·āāļø raiding
okay then
Yeah @spice void just delete the one you aren't gonna use, make a new one when you buy on mog
do you guys maybe have a website with tutorial or Q&A regarding this topic?
Well like, your just planning on making a new character and buying via mog yeah?
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.
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?
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
Doesn't matter...need to make a entirely new account like new login stuff
Oh shit your right actually
Goddamn steam link making things harder than they need to be
What can I run with ny group after titan hard
Titan hard, again
lol
Does anyone know if my friend can get his free 30 days without a ps4 but just getting the online starter edition?
If the account was a trail account from the ff14 launcher (not steam) you can use it on steam as long as subscription wasnāt bought
wdym without a ps4?
I donāt know anything about the ps4 version
honestly I don't think so
Just purchasing it via psn store on web
Like, the psn store website?
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
yes soap
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.
He has an account already on pc but if there's no other way than I might need to do my own magic
I hope i wont to have redownload anytrhing if i have the FF XIV launcher and i played on steam
Nah he just wants the free 30 days that's really it
Then he has to buy it again on PS4
It's basically 30 days plus the 30 you bought iirc
I see in the duty finder there's X other recruiting what does that mean
Its the number of parties in party finder
like X in the same duty as me or X parties recruiting
Oh cmon i cannot reuse my mail...
for some duty
It really just dawned on me I spent another $60 on this game to play on PS4, which I don't do anymore lmfao
Its the number of parties in Party finder thats looking to do that instance
There's no way to reuse my mail, is there?
Also yeah @spice void your gonna need another email
i've canceled the steam Square Enix acc
If you right click and show the parties it takes you to party finder
It's still a square enix account as a whole I believe
Yes, but i hoped cancelling it would free my mail
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?
I mean, honestly I would just make another email in this case tbh
Hi there.. whats the correct channel for a completely new player?
this one?
Pretty much haha
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
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?
It showed a different game?
where can i get the skybuilder's iron ore?
@limpid swan Having a trial account limits a lot of stuff you can do socially unfortunately
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
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
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
Can someone help me?
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
openers are basically what theorycrafters have come up with as the best dmg to do at the start of a fight
@tiny gyro What game is he seeing?
WWE 2k20 80% off
@limpid swan If you ever played WoW, it's similar but, imho, much better.
Is he typing in FFXIV or?
When I told him to try that the starter edition didnt show up
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?
Alright, what about the question before that
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
Damn
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
Ah, I only used that thing once so that was my mistake
ok so I got to level 80 and I have all my gear score at 480, where do I get higher gear after this?
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
You can use the social stuff more but thats about it iirc
Personally I would wait until you hit 35
@frank anchor do lvl 80 content to get allegory/do savage

Could somebody link me to where I can buy a download code for Shadowbringers on ps4?
Warriors of LightāEmbrace the darkness and forge a new fate in the latest expansion to the critically acclaimed online RPG.Explore breathtaking new environments, unlock new playable races, master exciting new jobs, and fight alongside prominent characters with the new Trust sy...
Check the calamity salvager for blue weapon
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
It'll apply to the PS4 version
If you got the base game from ps4 yes
I have starter edition so it shouldn't be an issue i presume
And allows the ps4 to do everything
Ps4 basically does most the account stuff for you
Anyone know which server is best for someone who wants to join an endgame static?
Nope. Iirc, you'll also get HW and SB
Once you link it
why ppl can send tell to me but when i send tell back the system said the message could not be sent?
Are you a trial account by chance?
no
the SE store is a physical copy of the game
so just have to buy Shadowbringers on ps storer and then i'm set
Yes
if you want digital version of shadowbringers, gotta buy from psn store
Right
My friend is gifting me it so I wanted a convient way to get it
thank you!
how does the role needed thing work in roulettes? doesn't say healer sometimes and i still get insta queues
its just letting you know whats needed most afaik
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?
You have to dispell the glamour
Oh, alright, thank you.
9 times out of 10 you have glamour on that specific piece
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
