Quick question
For tomestones ?
Yes
Thnksss
So I got ff 14 online complete edition
Is it still required for a monthly fee? I'm confused
Kk
Including Starter + the current Expansion
Current Expansion, which is Shadowbringers, in itself also includes Heavensward and Stormblood
Starter includes 30 day sub
After that runs out, you need to start a subscription
we recommend Entry sub, cheaper of the two sub option, gives you 8 characters, limited to 1 character per World
thanks btw
had to help gma
sorry for delayed repsonse
and yeah i know my stuff just not used to macros
was an astro main in sb
No problem, have fun
Oh, iirc, @autumn kindle
Your macro should look like this
/merror off
/ac "Play" <1>
/ac "Play" <1>
/ac "Play" <1>
/micon "Play"
Putting micon in the end so it doesn't slow down (?) the macro execution...
And duplicating the /ac "Play" a few times (I am just doing 3 because it is hard to type those on a phone) make sure that it fires off properly
Merror has to be at the top
Oh, noted

Somethings wrong with the login client?
newbie here, is it recommended to stick to a class till a certain point before considering switching (because i want DPS, Tank, and Healer) or can i just swap whenever i feel like i want a change of pace?
the context of this question is during low levels
cant login/error while version check
So i bought the folklore tome, and tbh, things in there arent worth that much considering they are timed
i've started farming ephemereal
and now i'm really wondering what's worth lot with miner/botanist
newbie here, is it recommended to stick to a class till a certain point before considering switching (because i want DPS, Tank, and Healer) or can i just swap whenever i feel like i want a change of pace?
@twilit abyss personal preference, you can swap whenever you like
(well, you can swap once you have finish 1 lvl 10 class quest)
So i bought the folklore tome, and tbh, things in there arent worth that much considering they are timed
@lime sphinx they are worth crap because you are like 3 months too late
yea true lol
For now, just make whatever gils you can, and prep for 5.3
i'll just keep getting aether stuff , unlock tier 3 tinctures
Stock up cordials for GP recovery
i had 5M, but now my PLD is full gear, so is 80 crafter and 80 gatherer
Max your gathering gears
got all my gear setup
Grab gathering food etc etc
just need a bit better materia and level crafters, i did alchemist from 47-80 in about 8-10 hours in diadem, i'll make sure i do all of them before 5.3
ty ty
help
does anyone also perchance have the earthly star on target macro
if not i can figure it out
/merror off
/action "Earthly Star" <t>
/action "Earthly Star"
/micon "Earthly Star"
If you use this without a target, it will become manual targeting
Remember to duplicate the /action a few times
if you fail to log in due to error just close the game reopen and retry, i did it and it works now @vocal star @last vale
@vocal star Have you played FFXIV prior, or are you starting it up for the first time and getting that error message?
You could try to right-click the launcher and run it as administrator to see if that helps.
Also make sure it's allowed in the firewall, and isn't being blocked or hindered.
or only us europeans XD
square enix homepage doesnt work too
we played prior
Europe here - I can start just fine
i am in EU light too, just keep refreshing it should be up soon
very well, i will keep trying, thanks
Good luck!
still doesnt work, maybe its easier to reinstall the client
ive receive the error that the check of the version failed
ping me launcher fix
i'll just wait, if it happens to all europeans it should be fixed
its not in all of eu probably some countries only im ingame now there are ppl around
idk then, but it should be fixed anyway
Europe here as well, website is very slow, keeps timing out, on top of version check errors
all we can do is wait tbh
i had the same thing yesterday but 2-3 client restarts let me in then
@last vale , try updating your Internet Explorer
Specifically - Internet Explorer
Not Edge, not Chrome, not Opera, nor whatever else
Ok, can someobe please help me? My keys to move, arrows or wasd, keep moving me even long after i release the key.
My pc is brand new, can't be it
is the weather the same in all the servers in one datacenter ?
Not just in this game, any game just keeps moving me after i hold it too long and let go
That's probably a computer related issue then
is the weather the same in all the servers in one datacenter ?
@burnt mist no
Is it a laptop or a desktop?
Laptop
on ast if you get a card for a dps that you don't have do you just play it
but if I need seals
If it's still ass, just play it if you need seals
alright
on ast if you get a card for a dps that you don't have do you just play it
@remote lintel there's no way
Half effect is better than no effect
what
Unless you are that optimal and refuse to give it to yourself or your tank
Then your card always have somewhere to go
then where
It's noticable, but not hair pulling. I'll look into the drivers or other later
!action Balance
!action The Balance
Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is melee DPS or tank, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Solar Seal when used in combat
β»This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Just wanted to get some info on where it's happening. Thanks π
!action The Ewer
Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is ranged DPS or healer, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Lunar Seal when used in combat
β»This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Just playing it, as what was said, is fine too
is it really worth using a damage buff on myself?
Same with divination, 2seal launch at 5% is better than no launch fishing for 3 seals
/\
oh I see
You should have enough attempts to get 3 seals, but 2 seals is still better than nothing
I've had some real bad rng
It happens
If Astrologian is very consistent, then the buff need to be less powerful
It is what it is
That's what redraw and sleeve draw are for
combining minor Arcana with sleeve draw is also a quick way to fish for new seals
Without compromising your current hand
hey so i tried this game out quite a while ago and got turned off by the beginning being rly boring. i heard they were gonna revamp the leveling experience at some point and i was wondering if that has happened yet or if there's any news on it and such
Expected in 5.3
probably mid july
at least july
ok! i'll keep an eye out then. thanks : )
Live letter will provide more information when that comes
I just want to point out that if you meant lvl 1-20 story
It ain't gonna get changed massively (I don't even think it is gonna get any)
is the diadem still the best place to level gathering?
Btw, they also won't change how a job plays at low level in 5.3
If that's what you think is boring
(seeing that you said leveling experience, but didn't specify story or combat)
i dont even really remember what exactly turned me off...i'll just give it another go when that drops and see what happens lol
No problem
Just play the game as it is meant to be played, crafter with everything else on the side
whats the deal with palace of the dead?
its just a roguelike dungeon
^ you go 10 floors at a time and just keep going deeper
It is a side content
good for leveling though
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you donβt have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead youβll be running floors 21-30 instead.
More details in the link
I remember spending days playing card games and fishing instead of leveling and progressing the main story
ty
I have spent more time leveling omnicraft/gathering than running the MSQ or dungeons
In a deep dungeon, your job has level and gear power within it
Every 10 floors you clear, you get some cool reward and somd exp for this job outside of the deep dungeon
I was trying to read up on the best use of grand company seals now, and somewhere it said you could use it to powerlevel, but it didnt specify how or what, is there a way to use these seals to get experience at low level?
I just got my first tradeskill (Culinarian) to lvl 50, but my gear is horrible. Can I buy proper gear somewhere other than the MB?
That could be maybe
@lilac peak yes, if you continue with heavensward you unlock a beast tribe that you can trade for decent gear
alternitively you can follow this
Seals from your GC or level to 51 and buy npc gear in Ishgard
typically you only focus on chestpiece and weapon for the most part, but every once in a while its worth upping the rest
(at least thats what I've been doing, but im only around 50-60 in most)
Can I somehow disable the error audio cue when trying to use an ability that's on cooldown?
Ah, I think I found it by muting System Sounds.
Hey guys, I'm finding it impossible to find lvl 30 frontline daily challenge. I'm lvl 58 now, and yet to have played 1 game of pvp cos can just never find one. Does this get better in end game? or its just how itis?
palace of the dead is a deep dungeon. and halatali is another dungeon
Deep dungeons are useful for quick leveling (not important if you are working on MSQ) and Halatali is a side dungeon, which are also good for leveling but not as good
dungeons in general are better exp than potd/hoh
the only time potd really wins out is if you've got slow queue times

What is the ironworks equivalent of equipment in Idyllshire?
shire
Thanksss
im the only one that the launcher still don't work for him?
why is it happens? especially to all EU players
multiple people have reported this issue, doesn't seem to affect everyone
all you can do is wait
and hope that Square resolves the issues
I can confirm I'm EU, I have no idea why it happens. My question was if it was on my end or theirs- seemingly its theirs.
So I'll just sit it out and keep retrying.
Hey everyone ! quick question, how do I unlock poetics vendor in rhalgr's reach ? I just finished the quest that end the main story of Stormblood (the quest named stormblood) but the NPCs just keeps telling me I need to become a trusted supplier first.
Are you sure you're talking to the vendors directly north of the aetheryte?
sounds like you might be talking to the scrip people
Talking to those ones
I'm finishing up HW, but someone give me more suggestions on what I should spend my poetics on because I'm almost capped. Don't say gearsets for future classes
Those one crystals that sell for 500gil each π€·ββοΈ
@twilit arch thank you I can buy some stuff now x)
Hey guys, how long did you usually wait for a support centre response? π
Given the current state, I'd expect it to take several days to a week.
Given they're closed on the weekend, probably not
Got to play the game for a few hours at friday before not being able to acess the account
Yeah I know they are
Tfw you bought the game recently and can't play it
: , )
@dense pier Depends on what you want. In any case if you're close to finishing HW, I recommend you rush the end so Shire gear (HW version of ironworks gear) becomes available to you. Otherwise it depends on what you want.
- If you want gil, buy the crystals that sell for gil. I'm not sure what its name is.
- If you want GC seals or desynth level, buy Ironworks shield and accessories and turn them in or desynth.
- Iirc you can also buy crafting materials with poetics.
As a very new player is it best to just focus on MSQ even if I'm heavily over leveled at this point
@nova wraith About 9 quests away for base HW
probably 2 or 3 depending on queue times and cutscene length
expansion ends usually have pretty long cutscenes though
also, can someone help me? Relaunching the game yields the same result, rebooting my pc doesn't help, my internet is fine.
what is region locked ip
I've had this pc since thursday, had zero problems so far. And in another server, some people mentioned getting launcher funkies too
nope
same for me - something isnt working
@gritty oracle
I already got full aug shire gear
The crystals really add up though, 500 each?
yeah, the desynth/GC but idk what to do with all those seals too. I just spam cordials now.
Those crafting mats I don't tihnk I can use them yet
looks like SE problems
Could be a server problem somewhere between you and SE. Could try a VPN to work around it.
A lot of people are having that issue
Yeah, there's a thread on Steam Discussions as well, you are not alone
Problem seems to be within the EU only, though
!action bane
Spreads a target's Bio and Miasma effects to nearby enemies.
Potency is reduced by 60% for all remaining enemies. Duration: Full duration of original effects No effect if target is not suffering from Bio or Miasma effects inflicted by you.
@mental nebula I wrote to them on Wednesday last week, still waiting for response.
@split remnant well, that's worrying π¦
I recommend starting to stock up on Unidentifiable Ore/Shell/Bone/there's a fourth one, for when you start your anima weapon. It costs I think 6k poetics worth of those for a single anima weapon.
Also seals you can use for ventures, crafting mats to sell on MB (you can do that with poetics too) or buy rank ups. Or again, start stocking up on crafted items for your anima weapon, it costs I think 80k seals for a single weapon. (For thatstep of the weapon, that is. Anima weapon is pretty long and requires a lot of things.)
are you in a group with a scholar or summoner?
that'd be the other source of bio then
no
only yours
only your dots count
reposting with a ping because you don't get a notification if I edit in a ping @dense pier

the fourth is Unidentifiable Seed maybe?
Edits give pings I think
they don't. At least they didn't a month ago or so.
Edits do not give pings.
it's a "relic", back in HW it used to be a really really good weapon, now it's really really good glamour.
every wexpansion has a relic weapon which is accessible with a really long grind, but back when that expansion was fresh, it was a really powerful weapon
in Shadowbringers, there's one too
Kind of a lore question, but I do not want to get spoiled in lore channel
Do half-breeds exist in FF lore?
Say, half-hrothgar and half-human for example
What's MSQ? I saw someone write those three letters to me as an answer before I thought it was some weird emoji.
main story quest
Main Story Quest
Ah
aka the important thing haha
They're not common due to the social taboo, and also because its hard to bring the child to term
one of the important things
you also see a half hyur, half garlean very early into the game
though most people probably don't realize it since he's a side character that you can interact with in the waking sands
Yet no half Roegadyn, half Lalafell π€
Ew
what is a half lalafell
There is a legend about a half Au Ra and Hyur too
Is it possible to get guild housing on diabolos or is it way too late
its probably going to be hard to get a house on many servers due to the auto demolish feature being turned off due to the pandemic
boy do i feel bad for owning a cottage and dumped retainer items in it
hi guys, i'm unable to play ff14. a guildie of mine has the same problem since this morning
Oh did they say when it will be turned back on? I have never owned a house before so I am not entirely sure how it works.
no, they have not
launcher gives me this upon startup
@spring swift Yes, lots of people have that issue right now
i didn't see anything in announcements so came here
Sounds like you queued for the wrong thing
i wonder if it'll take long :<
any1 else having serious issues getting past the launcher right now?
im getting a lot of error messages
yes
@spring swift ty
What should i get with the moogle tomestones after the top 3 mounts, is anything "missable" after the event? Have 110 already after having way too much fun on rivals wings yesterday.
@ancient rain trials and dungeons are on different tabs
australia here, managed to get in to the game no problem about 10 minutes ago
@leaden ginkgo the necklace and earring skins are
by the way, I'm just curious, how can the OTP app communicate with the server on my one time password without internet?
ok so for the people who are getting errors, where ''Kind of'' are you from?
I'm from The Netherlands
Like, idk if it's regional
@green pagoda roger that, thanks!
Central Eu
germany, not regional
@gritty oracle OTP doesn't communicate with the server. It just uses a time-synchronized algorithm.
]and not able to play either
@gritty oracle the OTP app and the authentication server don't need to communicate with each other
@gilded salmon you having problems too, same germany
they use the same algorithm to generate and authenticate codes
i think around germany/the netherlands people have issues then
do you play over steam?
most commonly it is time synced, yes, that's why the passwords are only good for like 1 minute
so i assume it's a central eu thing
hey guys what is the biggest difference between PLD and GNB? I know all the tanks play mostly quite similar, but I need help deciding which job I want to focus on moving forward
PLD gets more defensive stuff. GNB gets more offensive stuff.
I heard GNB feels more like a dps
but I also heard that PLD's DPS output potential is the highest amongst the tanks at the moment
im also playing samurai at the moment haha but I think it compares more to PLD
a lot of the skills are literally the same as PLD
Palamurai?
yeah haha
Could try a VPN to get around whatever the issue is. π€·ββοΈ
how would i go about finding a dead free company someone doesnt want? i'd like to purchase one thats already got some ranks so me and my few friends dont have to do as much work leveling up the FC
... what does that even mean lol
ok so i loged out i tried to log in again the error is still there but after 10mins and 4 or 5 more tries it logged me in
im still not sure how the error keeps appearing randomly
Reverting to old client helped for me!
Given that it's an HTTPS error, it could be relatted to TLS/SSL handshakes which are time based. If the problem is related to the server and your client having different time settings, it's possible that occasionally they overlap just enough for the handshake to work.
... or it could be one of a thousand other reasons. Internet is fun
To the point, is the ff14 team aware of this?
Haven't seen any communications about it
yea however its a nightmare to run dungeons now since it takes up to 30mins for literally normal quests
To anyone having issues getting into the game - use a VPN. Location shouldn't matter. Just use it to log in and then disconnect it.
Can i be stupid and ask what VPN is again
To explain it simply - it makes programs think you're in a different location than you actually are.
any idea what is causing this though?
Gives you a different internet service provider etc
Yeah no
Probably some dead or dying server between certain people and the SE login server
that doesn't even sound legal
It is though
It will slightly slow down your connection because your connection routes through the VPN server though.
VPNs are widely used for security for example
NordVPN is constantly advertised everywhere
That aside, i live with my parents, i'm far from under-age but i'd still probably get them pissed over that
it's not my house
It's a program you can turn on and off, won't affect anyone else connected to the internet.
It's a very simple thing.
@unique oasis i do not care, i like to keep out of stuff they don't agree with, so would you if you knew my parents
xD
Fair enough, it's your choice in the end.
i'm not angry
If you would however like to know more about VPNs feel free to DM me and I can clear up all the questions.
lemme just clear this up before something happens, i'm not angry or so, just mean to say it's not really in my reach to do so
Sorry if i kinda gave the wrong impression
Maybe you just misunderstood us.

kinda meant it as a joke, in the sense of they are strict xD
Seems like a decent question to ask: has anyone who has this problem tried contacting support in some way?
oh no they're not abusive
well yep that's a misunderstanding
well i legit just dunno how, the staff in this channel is only discord no?
Yes.
no, they do not control it]
but they don't agree withm y making changes to something they own (house, or like vpn IP whatever it may be)
someone here with login problems as well?
yes @ashen sorrel
For me it works just fine, but for my gf it won't load anything
@spring swift It won't make any changes. You run the program which then makes some programs (internet browser or the game itself in this instance) think you have a different ISP so you can easily get by some issues caused by the servers. It will only change it for your computer and only for as long as you keep the connection active.
it just changes the look of the gear and where you go to do stuff related to them.
how to fix that problem? o:
@spring swift VPN is no different from taking your laptop and connecting it to another Wifi network (like McDonalds wifi for example) pretty much. All you're doing is connecting to a network in another country through the internet itself.
There's nothing you can do to fix the problem unfortunately, so all we can advise you is to use a VPN
the story past level 15 isn't as localized to one specific city. Though you will make somewhat frequent trips to the waking sands.
It worked for me
For black mage, when I'm in umbral ice, why do blizzard spells not cost any mp? I think it statrted happening recently, but the only things i've gotten recently are aspect mastery and umbral soul, which dont do that
sec i alt tabbed and have lots to read
@stiff cloak all ice spells naturally cost 0 when in umbral ice
So the only way around the https error is to use a VPN since I just started to get that issue aswell
Yeah, right now that seems to be the only "fix" for the issue at hand
i'm not afraid, i just don't like ppl getting mad at me kawa
Otherwise, you gotta wait until Square Enix resolves the issue
I reverted to old client and it worked for me.
i'm just not very stress proof
I'll try that then
Going from left to right
symbol to show Enochian is active
Purple bar is Polyglot timer (Foul/Xeno)
timer+blue/red diamonds = UI/AF timer and stacks
white diamonds = Umbral Heart Stacks
pink diamonds = Polyglot stacks
altho that's mostly a combination of character/medication/autism (In my case) if you really want to know it's origin
xD
yeah i like the non-simplified look of the gauge much better
can I see a fully leveled normal gauge? I'm only 45 so I only have the AF-UI stacks shown on it.
Is the game down for anyone else? I can't get into it, it keeps giving me connection errors at certain points
when would they fix the https issue?
Yes, a lot of people have connection issues. Things that have helped people: reverting to old client, using VPN, deleting congif files
config*
Two of the times I got connection errors in the launcher, and then I got into the game, but got an error after clicking start
Oh I see
@ashen sorrel There's been no communications about it. It's possible they don't even know about it so you might want to contact support or post in the support forums or something.
i only get my log in field for name and password when i set my game language to german xd
through the mogstation
@gritty oracle
80 would just have an extra polyglot crystal by the first one at the bottom
thank you! Spiderwebs are umbral heart, purple stripe is polyglot timer and pink diamond is goooooone polyglot stacks?
oh shit
no wonder they don't know
even the mog station is down
oh wait no
it loaded after saying can't connect
for wsome weird ass reason
The spider web-things shows enochian is active
The kinda-dim ice crystals are the umbral hearts
doesn't want me to log in tho
ah, I meant the "ice crystals".
im able to access mogstation no problem
Where can I find the config file? In documents or install location?
unknown, if ever.
unknown, but probably around the end of expansion
Even when construction completes, the activity will probably stay around so the items from it aren't suddenly exclusive.
from yoshi-p's initial comment, its very likely that the turn ins will not go away
There's a general guide pinned in #doh-dol-lounge if you want to take a look at that.
Use a VPN to log in
Are Diadem and Eureka still in use?
clear internet cache etc
diadem got repurposed to be used for the ishgard restoration.
And Eureka is still around as that is where you make the stormblood relic weapon
among other things
It felt like eureka was only doable in huge groups of people, how is that these days?
I wouldn't say Eureka gets a lot of activity but the difficulty scales with amount of players doing it
Which is why back in the day you needed loads of people
Okay, that's totally fine then
Hiiii I'm pretty new to the game and super broke after buying gear LOL, anyone got recommendations on best ways to earn money in the game apart from dungeon crawling cuz queueing is a betch ;-;
They added a large Echo buff to it that makes it a lot easier to level up (+150%)
that moment when you want to contact support but can't and still doesn't fix after a million tries
:3
oh my god my eyes
@ebon spear complete your challenge log and complete daily roulettes for gil.
lmao
1750$ laptop, glass fiber internet and every page in mog station either fails to load, or loads after 2 minutes..
if it loads
square enix really hates europe huh?
xD
@obsidian patio i know of that, but was wondering if there are more substantial ways of earning money apart from grinding dungeons/duties/logs etc
i guess...
i guess im not the only one with the launcher problem
Nop same here
Correct. A VPN or other things might get around the issue
nop
If you're brand new then there's no real other options for you.
Yeah but tbf I am not paying another 5 bucks to play an already sub to play game xD
You can try gathering classes like miner and botanist as they require little initial investment.
Guess its just going to be either trying till it works or wait till its fixed
well i'm not completely new, i have my main at lvl80 already which is why I'm getting tired of that dungeon grind and want to try new things π
Could be
Try using Tracert on the IP
I'm not technical enough to really diagnose it
It's some parts of EU that are having problems
Do treasure maps and hunt trains otherwise level crafters and sell shit
Yeah, there's a difference between pretty new and being at level 80. π
treasure maps? π
Materia is always ok money especially during new patches
LOL
yep, Zonureskin maps to be precise.
UK
...
you can make a party for them in the party finder and get other people together and they can do their maps too.
No one's going to use Tracert?
etc

oooo i'll look into it ^^ thank you β€οΈ
could a 10 ilvl increase translate to 1k more dps?
NL here too, issues here too
i also keep getting https error
not a single dutch/german person can login
even tried reinstalling didnt help
You should level crafters some point. It isnt too expensive to do anymore, i leveled ALC from 1-80 in a couple of hours on my alt and spent ~200-300k
Makes your life easier
How do you save your equipment when swaping jobs
i want to try! just not really sure where to start
What issue are you running into, @hollow ice ?
probably have to go watch some videos hahaha
HTTPS System Error -2146697211
crow above your character in your character scrn is like a icon of a paper next to glamour plates @dry ocean
you can save ''gear sets''
in there
and load them
Just go pick a job up and go try it tbh, the game introduces you very very slowly to your skills and in the end you dont have a lot of them anyway
cant open launcher and cant log into any square enix related sites
everything else works fine
Balance discord has a ton of information about crafter/gatherer jobs too
the first one i picked up was fishing, and i fished for abit, then i questioned myself as to why i was doing it in the first place... like wot am i gonna do with all this fish ahahahahaha
and i still can't stop to wonder if the ff14 staff knows
Check your firewall, @hollow ice
You might have to allow FFXIV's different programs/URL's
@leaden ginkgo]
It's a pretty widespread issue right now Baka. Unlikely to be a firewall issue
Will probably not work have tried everything except VPN all the other fixes don't seem to do anything
USE VPN
balance discord?
is the only way of getting Allagan tomestones of allegory is through main scenario duty roulette?
Fisher is a semi-niche job, you need fish for some culinarian recipes but outside that... you can sell some fish/get aethersands but miner/botanist are far more useful when it comes to getting mats used for recipes
Rather wait for it to fix itself than pay for a VPN for a sub based game but thats just me
i just picked fishing cuz i like fishing, there was no thought to it LOL

You could use a free VPN π€ΈββοΈ
To level up my trust party, I'm supposed to run holminster switch over and over, correct?
@spring swift https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/626-Technical-Support See if you can login and post there
Technical Support / Support Center Ticket Created / Support Center Resolved / Closed Concerns / Separate Support Required
I mean if you can advice a free one because all the ones that google gives you only have a free month
ProtonVPN
Yea spam holminster until they can do dohn mheg -> spam dohn mheg until qitana -> rinse and repeat
i would love to report to tech support but as i said no square enix related site will open
Also paid VPN
do check the privacy policy on free vpn's though, if they're free they're usually making money off of selling your data
π€·ββοΈ
Maybe they can't offer it here because they share your data and my country doesn't allow that
Maybe you want to give contacting support a shot? Still haven't heard of anyone who has successfully done it
I'm using ProtonVPN and it's great
never paid a single cent
does the job just fine
You only need it to click the Play button on launcher
never heard that it is required to have a vpn to play the game
Yeah its just that it doesn't give me the free option
after that you can disconnect it
Yeah, once you are ingame, everything works fine
only connected to a VPN to open up the game
Went on old launcher kept trying untill it finally got through to use my login and then I got through
mostly its just your webbrowser cache that is causing it
and the website timing out
Not the launcher, SE's servers are iffy. Their main website and support page are equally hard to reach
idk has anyone even tried clearing the cache?
ok
Also, I don't think it's a cache-related issue, as everything else works perfectly fine, it's really just people from central EU facing this issue, mainly germans
@alpine shadow yes i did. It's not all of europe btw
I'm currently having the same issue, cannot connect on both PC and PS4
still not working and no official statement on their social medias (twitter)
this is so bad
yesterday and the days before it was just fine tho

hey guys, alexander mounts are guaranteed drops even in unsync?
yes
okay thanks
hey guys seeing some conflicting info on sites, can poetics be used to get eikonic gear?
yes, its the Dow/m 1 section of gear in idyllshire
the conflicting info is probably very old, as the sets used to use different tomes when they were endgame gear
oh ok no wonder
so you can use poetics to get eikonic stuff the same way you'd get ironworks?
just for level 60 instead of 50
yep, and scaevan gear at 70
My friend can't log in
there seems to be some server issues atm @mild ermine lots of people are getting the same problem
Yes, known issue, tell him to use a VPN to login and click the Play button on the launcher
That should work
Can disconnect the VPN again once the game opens
though i wouldn't get the eikonic gear
if you're looking for ironworks equivalent, you should get shire @pine bluff
oh what's the difference?
eikonic is 230, shire is 260
How is tanking in this game compared to WoW, if any of you is experienced in that game as well? Is the difficulty roughly the same, and do tanks have more duties here? I would rather not completely fuck up a dungeon the first time I go to one.
because it was added before shire
And its available for poetics if you want it for glamour
@split remnant im not sure how it compares to WoW but tanking isn't that complicated
ah ok thanks @twilit arch
@pine bluff in my case i'm trying to install the game on my PC so i guess i'll have to wait for the server issue to be resolved
you can try connecting the launcher via vpn for a minute to start the download
then turn the vpn off and hope the download continues
Hotspot Shield is the most "available" one but I've had issues setting it up in the past.
At least if you want free only
do not use some dodgy looking free VPNs. go for a well known, reputable one. you can maybe get away with just using a trial account to get your download running
@civic warren
My friend said thanks for the solution
The VPN solution worked for me, thanks whoever suggested protonvpn
does auto attack still proc automatically even if you're spamming skills all the time? I'm just noticing this now
is staff aware of the issue and working on a fix so we wouldnt have to use vpns?
assuming you're within range of the boss, yes
I see, interesting.. I thought since the auto attack animation doesn't play
@leaden ginkgo There hasn't been any communication about it so π€·ββοΈ
im not auto attacking
Animations mean almost nothing for the battle system. It's weird
oh well, you do need to make sure you've right clicked on the boss to start auto attacking
but once you've done that, so long as you're in melee range of the boss you'll still auto between casts
@leaden ginkgo it's almost 8pm in Tokyo, it may not be fixed until next business day, but it also might π€·ββοΈ
If you see the circle above the target with the two arrows, you're auto-attacking
hmm ok
When you try to connect the mogstation and check the connection speed when you have glass fiber internet
π€£
xDDDDDDDDDD
Iydlshire
@fresh lodge Where in Idyl?
the main building in the middle
ty
also not sure why you needed to ping us all for that
Cuz i been waiting and aint got no response
You had been waiting for less than a minute
Also ping one not all
It 2020, world moves fast my man
Anyways, moving on...
Sorting my inventory, is there any use for "Soul of the Crafter" still?
Do we still have specialist jobs?
yes they still exist.
They provide a small stat boost to Craftsmanship/Control/CP, an action that's a better version of Observe with a material cost to use, and it lets you make current-patch glamour items/weapons
also another specialist only skill that makes it so you don't finish a craft and only have 1 progress left
Alright, I'll keep them around then. Similarly, Mission Ceruleum?
Obsolete item. it used to take you to the combat version of the diadem but that no longer exists.
does anyone actually have Kugane Ohashi trial unlocked? been trying to queue for it for hours and nada so far..
it's not a common duty since it requires hildibrand done up to stormblood :\
damn, guess my best bet is to try and PF this π
there's only 2 types of mahjong set in ff14?
yep
aww ok
is SE usally this slow with resolving issues or even aknowleding them?
Covid slowed them down a bit
so i've currently downloaded ProtonVPN and got the download started
does it have a download limit? if not, i'm gonna keep it running until the game is downloaded
someone in my guild downloaded VPN because he cannot log in, then switched to germany and still couldn't π€£ \
DUH
xD
pog
yea germany is also scuffed
i hope they fix this soon i wanted to max out gunbreaker today :/
i just started recently, do these kind of thing happen often? will i get my playtime back (by of suscribtion)?
i havent experienced alot of that stuff yet but then again i havent been playing for that long
first time I've seen it happen for so long.
no clue, first time in the last month ive had any issues
last time ive had something like that happen was back in ARR
which might be bc i havent played stormblood and early heavensward
They don't give out compensation for these kinda things

unless the entire game is affected and for several days on end
But it doesn't really happen that often
Sometimes the servers have some hiccups, but these issues are usually resolved quickly
@woven cobalt but its still a breach of contract, a service i payed for is not provided in the range of agreements it should be. thus i should get compensation (i dont want any gil or fancy skins, just not loose my playtime)
so basically wait and see?
ive been waiting for 4h
and nothing changed, no statement on social medias, nothing
cant even contact support, bc the site wont load either
This might be better to go to #rants or #general-discussion since there isn't a question anymore but I'll just say I'm sure this might not be SE's fault either
same problem wanted to look up exactly what the error code meant but site wont load
It means you have a connection problem somewhere between you and the login server. That's it.
yea that is really sus. they could at least acknowledge it
no 3 entire countries have issues
Damn those people for... sleeping.
My friend is giving the free trial a shot, what is the consensus on the best class to start with? I want to give him a good experience but my experience with classes in lower level is too outdated.
Doesn't matter?
i started with Lancer since i like playing DPS but it's all personal preference
Conjurer is kinda boring imo though
depends on if he wants to stay in queue for milennia
@burnt spear good solo starter is ranger dps, bc of kiting. brainafk but slow and safe is healer.
It's mostly that I don't want him to start with a class that just presses 1 forever into level 35 and drop the game
yea so no healer
Because that was my experience with ARC/BRD
That...isn't how Archer plays though
You're remembering super funky
Archer is like, one of the more busy ones at low level
tbh in arr all archer was until like lvl 25 was 11111 and sometimes that ogcd
whats the highest desynth level possible?
assassinate for archers forgot the name
misery's end
no
.... Β―_(γ)_/Β―
@leaden ginkgo I think 470 or 480
Bloodletter was just a normal oGCD
That's not anything like assassinate though
In any case, archer is decent at low levels right now
by the time you hit 30 you get like, 2 buffs, an aoe, a dash back, 2 dots, and 2 gcds
That's way better than a lot of jobs like dragoon where you basically get one ogcd, one buff, and one and a half combos from memory
mb its bc my main mmo for quite a while was GW2 but all jobs in ffxiv at low lvls are such a chore to play for me
almost as bad as albion
any trustable free vpn recommendable for the current login issue in europe?
trustable = not bloating/spying/spaming my pc
Anybody else trouble with the launcher? I keep getting this and I tried the following:
- Restarted pc
- Updated IE
- Added frontier.ffxiv.com to trusted sites
- Reset modem
- Stopped and restared DNS client
- Flushed DNS
- Tried launching with Firewall off
- Deleted BOOT.cfg
- Cleared cache + cookies
I heared that NordVPN is pretty good. Yo another matter, does the launcher work for you`?
People are recommending protonvpn. I can't really say anything about how trustworthy it is.
EU server are struggeling
@lament pendant waiting or vpn
Everyone around EU is having trouble. Get a VPN program, log in, close VPN and you're good.
Ah gotcha
if vpn no netherlands belguim or germany
its funny, cause a german vpn works for me
Yeah that explains why my UK friends are having trouble
those are the ones ik of that dont work
not having*
Where can I exchange old tomestones for new ones?
I know this isn't the first time Germany has had this issue. Before it was because some internet node thingymajig was done in Germany or something
So I'm 70% sure it's not SE's fault this time around
You can do that at the tomestone NPCs assuming you can still exchange them which you should
@split topaz if it's an isp specific thing and the adress uses one that has no problem, that might explain why maybe? idk\
don't know why else hhmm
but then again, i'm not a huge nerd
Got 'em. Is there also a place to exchange scrips? The scrip exchanger doesn't seem to be the guy
Hmmm, some folk in steam forum says, the problem started 7 hour ago, and it is still not solved, there is also no official response to this problem at all.
The obsolete scrips? Auriana in mor Dhona
I'd go to Idyllshire and try all the NPCs in that little square to the left
Oh thanks Wynne
There are no underwater aether currents in this game, correct?
correct
unless you want to count the shisui dungeon quest as underwater current
but none of the open world currents are underwater
uuugh I hated shisui, diving so deep into the darkness was so stressful for my thalassophobic ass
I legit thought the game would jumpscare at that point lmao
One of the Kojin beast tribe quest made you dive to similar depth to snatch pearl
Just a heads up
Ah come on, really?
What's the recommended method for levelling up from 60 to 70?
And when I've done those?
Guys, i was recommended to get nordvpn to bypass the problem for a moment, whatever it normally does anyway), and told there was smth like a trial, but i don't see the option for a trial. Where can i find it?
Daily roulette: msq, leveling, Alliance are your best three, raid and trial is fine too
Highest level dungeon: but not level 50, 60, 70
HoH from lvl 61 onward if roulette /dungeon have way worse queue time
In this order
Awesome, thank you.
Supplement exp source when you are queueing: Stormblood beast tribes, FATEs, daily hunt Bill from kugane
hunt bills can also be picked up in rhaglr's
I genuinely didn't know that
I always pick it up at Kugane, do Kojin then Namazu, then loop around to finish the bill, and do Snake ladies, and chill at Rhaglr
Never ever bother to check if Rhaglr has one
@spring swift idk about NordVPN's free trial, but use ProtonVPN, it has a free trial + you can still use it afterwards for free, just limited amount of servers available
as long as you arent using SoftEther, you should be fine
SoftEther is free, but it's not secure
i also heard protonvpn has limited servers and prioritizes premium users over trials so if one server is full all new's get kicked for premiums
You really only need to use the VPN to log into the launcher and click Play, which shouldn't take too long
and Premium users have their own servers
probably every services that provides free as a trial would prioritize paying customers
I need help, my bf and me arn't able to log into ffxiv.. we both use the same ip and the launcher always comes with a connection error..
Downloading patch?
It's hard to backread, I understand. This is a known issue, europeans seem to be mostly affected
Tried vpn?
Use a VPN to bypass the issue at hand
Use VPN -> log into launcher, click Play -> disconnect
the current Error text
Please read what I wrote ._.
not as easy when you have no clue how to use a vpn xd
Or have one
Really don't feel like downloading a "safe" free one or buy an expensive VPN just so i can craft for one day in final fantasy
has anyone who had this issue got it resolved so far?
i see, hmmm glad i accidently bought a 6 month plan lol
any free application will have hidden spyware or stuff in it, if its harmful or not is a different matter but i can very much understand not trusting it.
i havent gotten any either. i'd rather wait a few extra hours in hope they fix it.
Hello, i am German and canΒ΄t login to the game. Im playing on PC. Anyone knowing what is going on?
oh didnt see it, thx a lot

does any other class have a "look at me i fucked up my rotation" thing
or is it just ninja
Just ninja really
fuck
It can be obvious for a few others too, but not quite like ninja lol
Thankfully most people aren't looking at the top of your head that closely. Usually.
I mostly just hear the sound effect haha
whew okay i should just make a "mudra lag" macro
so i can try to convince everyone im not bad LMAO
somewhere in the background "nice rabbit you dumb mofo"
So... speaking of messing things up... I want to get back into tanking. Thinking gunbreaker because of course it'll be gunbreaker. Haven't really touched my tanks since coming back to the game from a 2-ish year break, so what's gonna be the best way to get back into it these days without getting yelled at by a 12 year old?
i like to run lower level dungeons to get back into it if i dont play a class for a while
Start with lower level dungeons
so you can get used to the basic rotation/tactics
and then progress to more difficult stuff
probably not
Almost questioning myself on gunbreaker, why on earth do they have so many skills? 3 chotbars to fit it all
For their ammo stuff
Hi anyone know is the role quest shared among the job? Like doing it with warrior or dark knight, it is the same story?
Is it possible to somehow disable battle/combat music, but keep other music like background music, level up jingle, etc?
Ok
Its shared between every job in that role
I thought it will be different story
About that HTTPS system error:
There is a topic on the official forms about that too:
Since this morning i am getting an error in launcher.
A system error has occured: -2146697211
HTTPS System Error
Things i have tried:
Resetting router
Resetting PC
Running launcher as admin
Disabling Firewall
doing it once unlocks your 430 artifact gear for all jobs with that role
@heavy acorn There's a setting called "Enable normal battle music". Maybe try turning that off and see if it does what you want?
yea so the error is reported from Russia until France so most of europe pretty much
@vagrant copper I'll give it a try, thanks
Is this reward given only if I queue as a tank?
Yes, that's why it says Tank
@wild terrace
I get the error too, but i can resolve it every time.
I just run CCleaner to clear cache and cookies to solve it.
(And sometimes i just hard route the game via the hosts file.)
Arr beast quests are 40-50 right?
Something like that
Roughly yeah
been searching a bit, but haven't found much, what is the fastest way to farm treasure trove moogle without a blue mage?
Pvp or running as a premade through aurum vale
ahh, thanks
Anyone else experienced ridiculously long waiting times for a support ticket response?
very quick to take my money, very slow to actually assist me in being able to play the game
Customer support is pretty slow right now given the low staff count. π€·ββοΈ
im sorry but has anyone ever seen the -2146607211 error and does anyone know how i get rid of it without trying to restart the not functioning launcher every 2 minutes
Lots of people getting that right now. Easiest fix is using a VPN to log in
Is there any lv 71+ Potion, as in just HP restore consumable? It seems that highest I can find is lv70 super potions.
just asking if i play on Omega can still play with people from Spriggan
yes
spriggan and omega are both on chaos
i see so there is cross server
how does the 3% exp food work? does it just increase the amount of exp gained by 3%?
ye
Yep
Basically everything is cross server
Its free xp
Especially in dungeons
Food can also buff your stats, and 3% more exp for such a low cost it's basically zero is amazing.
With the preferred server bonus that 3% becomes 6% as well which is...notable?
Is there a button to compare two pieces of gear? Like rings for example.
You can right-click an item and compare it to your currently equipped stuff
Right click > item comparison
Thank you.
Was hoping for a more convenient "hold alt" or something like that but that'll do.
why do people hate Titania? They're not especially hard, maybe a bit long, but the ambience, music and the beautiful everything makes up for it.
people don't know how to dps adds
^
or just aren't organised enough to do the mechanics of the add phase and die and then wipe from not enough DPS
there's mechanics in the add phase? I didn't even notice, just dpsed the adds and dodgesd aoes.
most people end up not meeting the dps requirement for the adds
so she wipes with her ultimate
so like vinyl said, tis literally just people being bad
well the aoes and stack up marker is the mechanic really
didn't titania get a bad rep early in the expansion when people lacked gear and experience?
no
I got lvl 80 and I wanna unlock all the dungeons out of the MSQ, can I solo those or I have to use the duty finder?
its literally the same issue as it is now, people are bad and don't know/care to learn how to play their job
Even with thw changes, at 70+ you should more or kess know your basic GCD rotation
Then you smash everything on cooldown
Literally pressing buttons
And not standing in the bad
@north venture if its old expansion content, you can solo most of those dungeons
Sb dungeons might be a bit slow/harder to do
Boost ppl exist so thereβs also that

Do the acc get any better? Iβm still using lvl 1 earring necklace and ring
Wow
You get real accessories
You could get lucky and get aetherial acc drops from dungeons
And the msq gives out accessories a lot
accessories in ARR aren't really that significant
^ also this
so its not really the end of the world if you end up using lvl 1 accessories until 50, but like grein said msq does give you accessories here and there
is it true you can't buy shire gear until close to the end of HW?
SB does the same thing I think, tome vendors are invisible until you beat 4.0 msq
isn't shire gear level 60 required?
Alright Iβll keep an eye out. Trying to push for to unlock mount to make lvling easier.
Yes but you can buy it before then
eikonic requires idyllshire too right
hmm so im stuck with augmented ironworks for a while?
You should be getting dungeon drops
Augmented ironworks stops being better than dungeon drops around level 55
I see
because I have Road to 70 im so overleveled
maybe marketboard is better for me
Even if you don't roll on loot you get a guaranteed piece of dungeon gear from 51-59 dungeons
The problem with Titania is more that many players think that all 3 adds need to be tanked at the same time.
But the East add doesn't have a tankbuster, so 1 tank can tank the north one and the other tank can tank the west one, while the DPS burns down the east add.
That is the problem i think with most groups.
Eh? who was talking about Titania?
can I do the 8 man level 50 maps solo?
