Where do you purchase lvl60 Heavensward equipments?

warped nest
#

Idyllshire

#

After Dravanian Hinterland

tepid goblet
#

Quick question

dry ocean
#

For tomestones ?

warped nest
#

Yes

dry ocean
#

Thnksss

tepid goblet
#

So I got ff 14 online complete edition

#

Is it still required for a monthly fee? I'm confused

warped nest
#

Yes

#

Complete is just a bundle

tepid goblet
#

Kk

warped nest
#

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

warped nest
#

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

fresh lodge
#

Merror has to be at the top

Oh, noted

Somethings wrong with the login client?

twilit abyss
#

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

last vale
#

cant login/error while version check

lime sphinx
#

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

last vale
#

any idea?

warped nest
#

@twilit abyss personal preference, you can swap whenever you like

#

(well, you can swap once you have finish 1 lvl 10 class quest)

twilit abyss
#

excellent, imma go make a tank and dps now

#

come back to healer when i unlock astro

warped nest
#

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

lime sphinx
#

yea true lol

warped nest
#

For now, just make whatever gils you can, and prep for 5.3

lime sphinx
#

i'll just keep getting aether stuff , unlock tier 3 tinctures

warped nest
#

Stock up cordials for GP recovery

lime sphinx
#

i had 5M, but now my PLD is full gear, so is 80 crafter and 80 gatherer

warped nest
#

Max your gathering gears

lime sphinx
#

got all my gear setup

warped nest
#

Grab gathering food etc etc

lime sphinx
#

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

autumn kindle

vocal star
autumn kindle
#

does anyone also perchance have the earthly star on target macro

#

if not i can figure it out

warped nest
#
/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

autumn kindle
#

kk

#

thanks

wild terrace
#

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

kind burrow
#

you too? i got the same

#

ok thanks

#

did everyone have that

last vale
#

doesnt work, seems they have a cleint problem

#

client*

heavy acorn
#

@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.

kind burrow
#

or only us europeans XD

last vale
#

square enix homepage doesnt work too

kind burrow
#

we played prior

heavy acorn
#

Europe here - I can start just fine

wild terrace
#

i am in EU light too, just keep refreshing it should be up soon

kind burrow
#

very well, i will keep trying, thanks

heavy acorn
#

Good luck!

last vale
#

still doesnt work, maybe its easier to reinstall the client

#

ive receive the error that the check of the version failed

leaden ginkgo
#

ping me launcher fix

vocal star
#

i'll just wait, if it happens to all europeans it should be fixed

wild terrace
#

its not in all of eu probably some countries only im ingame now there are ppl around

vocal star
#

idk then, but it should be fixed anyway

woven cobalt
#

Europe here as well, website is very slow, keeps timing out, on top of version check errors

#

all we can do is wait tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

i had the same thing yesterday but 2-3 client restarts let me in then

potent tapir
#

@last vale , try updating your Internet Explorer

#

Specifically - Internet Explorer

#

Not Edge, not Chrome, not Opera, nor whatever else

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok, can someobe please help me? My keys to move, arrows or wasd, keep moving me even long after i release the key.

potent tapir
#

Have you cleaned your keyboard?

#

They could be stuck

leaden ginkgo
#

My pc is brand new, can't be it

burnt mist
#

is the weather the same in all the servers in one datacenter ?

leaden ginkgo
#

Not just in this game, any game just keeps moving me after i hold it too long and let go

potent tapir
#

That's probably a computer related issue then

warped nest
#

is the weather the same in all the servers in one datacenter ?
@burnt mist no

potent tapir
#

Is it a laptop or a desktop?

leaden ginkgo
#

Laptop

potent tapir
#

Well

#

That makes it a lot harder

#

Uh, okay

#

Let's see

remote lintel
#

on ast if you get a card for a dps that you don't have do you just play it

potent tapir
#

Could be:
[1] Driver
[2] Hardware (Keyboard)

#

But, uh, yeah

oak ice
#

Lord/Lady

#

Or redraw

remote lintel
#

but if I need seals

oak ice
#

If it's still ass, just play it if you need seals

remote lintel
#

alright

warped nest
#

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

oak ice
#

Half effect is better than no effect

remote lintel
#

what

warped nest
#

Unless you are that optimal and refuse to give it to yourself or your tank

#

Then your card always have somewhere to go

remote lintel
#

then where

leaden ginkgo
#

It's noticable, but not hair pulling. I'll look into the drivers or other later

warped nest
#

!action Balance

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

warped nest
#

!action The Balance

zinc orbitBOT
#
**the Balance** : lvl 30 AST (1 None) (1.0 second cooldown)

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

Just wanted to get some info on where it's happening. Thanks πŸ‘

warped nest
#

!action The Ewer

zinc orbitBOT
#
**the Ewer** : lvl 30 AST (5 None) (1.0 second cooldown)

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.

remote lintel
#

oh right

#

it's not just dps

warped nest
#

Just playing it, as what was said, is fine too

remote lintel
#

is it really worth using a damage buff on myself?

warped nest
#

3% increase is better than no increase

#

Unless you don't do any damage at all

little swift
#

Same with divination, 2seal launch at 5% is better than no launch fishing for 3 seals

warped nest
#

/\

remote lintel
#

oh I see

warped nest
#

You should have enough attempts to get 3 seals, but 2 seals is still better than nothing

remote lintel
#

I've had some real bad rng

little swift
#

It happens

warped nest
#

If Astrologian is very consistent, then the buff need to be less powerful

#

It is what it is

little swift
#

That's what redraw and sleeve draw are for

warped nest
#

combining minor Arcana with sleeve draw is also a quick way to fish for new seals

#

Without compromising your current hand

quiet hedge
#

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

little swift
#

Expected in 5.3

remote lintel
#

probably mid july

little swift
#

No we don't know when thats coming

#

Hopefully soon

remote lintel
#

at least july

quiet hedge
#

ok! i'll keep an eye out then. thanks : )

little swift
#

Live letter will provide more information when that comes

warped nest
#

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)

little swift
#

Pruning is about 16% of quests

#

Out of 250 ish

#

That's not a huge amount ngl

pliant cosmos
#

is the diadem still the best place to level gathering?

warped nest
#

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)

quiet hedge
#

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

warped nest
#

No problem

pliant cosmos
#

Just play the game as it is meant to be played, crafter with everything else on the side

mint jasper
#

whats the deal with palace of the dead?

pliant cosmos
#

its a prelude to heaven on high

slate arrow
#

its just a roguelike dungeon

pliant cosmos
#

^ you go 10 floors at a time and just keep going deeper

warped nest
#

It is a side content

pliant cosmos
#

good for leveling though

warped nest
#

(most of this game are side content to be fair)

Deep Dungeon Info
Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

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 don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

warped nest
#

More details in the link

heavy acorn
#

I remember spending days playing card games and fishing instead of leveling and progressing the main story

mint jasper
#

ty

pliant cosmos
#

I have spent more time leveling omnicraft/gathering than running the MSQ or dungeons

warped nest
#

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

blazing hinge
#

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?

pliant cosmos
#

maybe they meant retainers?

#

IE buying ventures

lilac peak
#

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?

blazing hinge
#

That could be maybe

pliant cosmos
#

@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

oak ice
#

Seals from your GC or level to 51 and buy npc gear in Ishgard

pliant cosmos
#

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)

heavy acorn
#

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.

languid spire
#

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

pliant cosmos
#

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

twilit arch
#

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?

twilit arch

shire

dry ocean
#

Thanksss

vocal star
#

im the only one that the launcher still don't work for him?

jolly sorrel
#

I keep g-

#

..

#

that answers mine, thanks

vocal star
#

why is it happens? especially to all EU players

woven cobalt
#

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

jolly sorrel
#

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.

normal timber
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

Are you sure you're talking to the vendors directly north of the aetheryte?

#

sounds like you might be talking to the scrip people

normal timber
twilit arch
#

those are scrip vendors

#

not poetics

normal timber
#

damn x) which ones are the poetics ? ^^'

#

Saw it on map !

#

let me take a look

dense pier
#

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

vagrant copper
#

Those one crystals that sell for 500gil each πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

normal timber
#

@twilit arch thank you I can buy some stuff now x)

mental nebula
#

Hey guys, how long did you usually wait for a support centre response? πŸ™‚

vagrant copper
#

Given the current state, I'd expect it to take several days to a week.

mental nebula
#

Ohh 😦

#

Guess waiting through weekend was not enough, lol

vagrant copper
#

Given they're closed on the weekend, probably not

mental nebula
#

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

#

: , )

gritty oracle
#

@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.

  1. If you want gil, buy the crystals that sell for gil. I'm not sure what its name is.
  2. If you want GC seals or desynth level, buy Ironworks shield and accessories and turn them in or desynth.
  3. Iirc you can also buy crafting materials with poetics.
polar badger
#

As a very new player is it best to just focus on MSQ even if I'm heavily over leveled at this point

obsidian patio
#

@nova wraith About 9 quests away for base HW

#

probably 2 or 3 depending on queue times and cutscene length

gritty oracle
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

what is region locked ip

gritty oracle
#

I've had this pc since thursday, had zero problems so far. And in another server, some people mentioned getting launcher funkies too

#

nope

keen storm
#

same for me - something isnt working

dense pier
#

@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

keen storm
#

looks like SE problems

vagrant copper
#

Could be a server problem somewhere between you and SE. Could try a VPN to work around it.

jolly sorrel
#

A lot of people are having that issue

woven cobalt
#

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

split remnant
#

@mental nebula I wrote to them on Wednesday last week, still waiting for response.

mental nebula
#

@split remnant well, that's worrying 😦

gritty oracle
#

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.)

twilit arch
#

are you in a group with a scholar or summoner?

#

that'd be the other source of bio then

#

no

gritty oracle
#

only yours

twilit arch
#

only your dots count

gritty oracle
#

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?

dense pier
#

Edits give pings I think

gritty oracle
#

they don't. At least they didn't a month ago or so.

dense pier
#

Also what is the anima weapon

#

Is it a 80 thing?

split remnant
#

Edits do not give pings.

gritty oracle
#

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

dense pier
#

Yeah

#

Idrc for glamor weapons atm

mental nebula
#

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

twilit arch
#

yes they do

#

you're introduced to a half hyur, half elezen in the hw msq

split remnant
#

What's MSQ? I saw someone write those three letters to me as an answer before I thought it was some weird emoji.

mystic yew
#

main story quest

mental nebula
#

Main Story Quest

split remnant
#

Ah

mystic yew
#

aka the important thing haha

twilit arch
#

They're not common due to the social taboo, and also because its hard to bring the child to term

wintry chasm
#

one of the important things

twilit arch
#

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

mental nebula
#

I see

#

Thanks for response πŸ˜„

split remnant
#

Yet no half Roegadyn, half Lalafell πŸ€”

wintry chasm
#

Ew

magic light
#

what is a half lalafell

wintry chasm
#

There is a legend about a half Au Ra and Hyur too

toxic plover
#

Is it possible to get guild housing on diabolos or is it way too late

twilit arch
#

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

magic light
#

boy do i feel bad for owning a cottage and dumped retainer items in it

spring swift
#

hi guys, i'm unable to play ff14. a guildie of mine has the same problem since this morning

toxic plover
#

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.

twilit arch
#

no, they have not

spring swift
vagrant copper
#

@spring swift Yes, lots of people have that issue right now

gilded salmon
#

me too

#

can't log in : (

spring swift
#

i didn't see anything in announcements so came here

vagrant copper
#

Sounds like you queued for the wrong thing

spring swift
#

i wonder if it'll take long :<

green pagoda
#

any1 else having serious issues getting past the launcher right now?

#

im getting a lot of error messages

spring swift
#

yes @green pagoda

#

more then just you, a lot more

#

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.

vagrant copper
#

@ancient rain trials and dungeons are on different tabs

pine bluff
#

australia here, managed to get in to the game no problem about 10 minutes ago

green pagoda
#

@leaden ginkgo the necklace and earring skins are

gritty oracle
#

by the way, I'm just curious, how can the OTP app communicate with the server on my one time password without internet?

spring swift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

@green pagoda roger that, thanks!

gritty oracle
#

Central Eu

gilded salmon
#

germany, not regional

spring swift
#

Ok so

#

In my guild

#

1 guy is able to play

#

but the other is from germany

vagrant copper
#

@gritty oracle OTP doesn't communicate with the server. It just uses a time-synchronized algorithm.

spring swift
#

]and not able to play either

pine bluff
#

@gritty oracle the OTP app and the authentication server don't need to communicate with each other

spring swift
#

@gilded salmon you having problems too, same germany

pine bluff
#

they use the same algorithm to generate and authenticate codes

gritty oracle
#

time-synchronized algorithm?

#

ah

spring swift
#

i think around germany/the netherlands people have issues then

gilded salmon
#

do you play over steam?

spring swift
#

i have it straight up downloaded from the website

#

no steam

pine bluff
#

most commonly it is time synced, yes, that's why the passwords are only good for like 1 minute

spring swift
#

so i assume it's a central eu thing

pine bluff
#

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

vagrant copper
#

PLD gets more defensive stuff. GNB gets more offensive stuff.

gritty oracle
#

I heard GNB feels more like a dps

spring swift
#

i always call GNB samurai tank

#

because thats how it owrks

pine bluff
#

but I also heard that PLD's DPS output potential is the highest amongst the tanks at the moment

spring swift
#

go to a dummy and test out both samurai and gnb

#

they feel SO alike

pine bluff
#

im also playing samurai at the moment haha but I think it compares more to PLD

spring swift
#

o>o

#

so gnb is

pine bluff
#

a lot of the skills are literally the same as PLD

spring swift
#

Palamurai?

pine bluff
#

yeah haha

spring swift
#

xD

#

aw man i was gonna get my first 80 job today

#

i hope it gets fixed soon

vagrant copper
#

Could try a VPN to get around whatever the issue is. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

desert spruce
#

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

vagrant copper
#

... what does that even mean lol

wild terrace
#

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

gritty oracle
#

Reverting to old client helped for me!

vagrant copper

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

spring swift
#

To the point, is the ff14 team aware of this?

vagrant copper
#

Haven't seen any communications about it

spring swift
#

as i see none here aside of normal players

#

me neither

wild terrace
#

yea however its a nightmare to run dungeons now since it takes up to 30mins for literally normal quests

spring swift
#

dps?

#

if you're dps - hasn't it always been that way

woven cobalt
#

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.

spring swift
#

Can i be stupid and ask what VPN is again

split remnant
#

To explain it simply - it makes programs think you're in a different location than you actually are.

leaden ginkgo
#

any idea what is causing this though?

split remnant
#

Gives you a different internet service provider etc

spring swift
#

Yeah no

vagrant copper
#

Probably some dead or dying server between certain people and the SE login server

spring swift
#

that doesn't even sound legal

split remnant
#

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

spring swift
#

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

split remnant
#

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.

spring swift
#

@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

split remnant
#

Fair enough, it's your choice in the end.

spring swift
#

i'm not angry

split remnant
#

If you would however like to know more about VPNs feel free to DM me and I can clear up all the questions.

spring swift
#

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

split remnant
#

Maybe you just misunderstood us.

spring swift

kinda meant it as a joke, in the sense of they are strict xD

vagrant copper
#

Seems like a decent question to ask: has anyone who has this problem tried contacting support in some way?

spring swift
#

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?

split remnant
#

Yes.

spring swift
#

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)

ashen sorrel
#

someone here with login problems as well?

spring swift
#

yes @ashen sorrel

ashen sorrel
#

For me it works just fine, but for my gf it won't load anything

split remnant
#

@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.

obsidian patio
#

it just changes the look of the gear and where you go to do stuff related to them.

ashen sorrel
#

how to fix that problem? o:

split remnant
#

@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.

woven cobalt
#

There's nothing you can do to fix the problem unfortunately, so all we can advise you is to use a VPN

obsidian patio
#

the story past level 15 isn't as localized to one specific city. Though you will make somewhat frequent trips to the waking sands.

woven cobalt
#

It worked for me

stiff cloak
#

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

spring swift
#

sec i alt tabbed and have lots to read

obsidian patio
#

@stiff cloak all ice spells naturally cost 0 when in umbral ice

low mica
#

So the only way around the https error is to use a VPN since I just started to get that issue aswell

woven cobalt
#

Yeah, right now that seems to be the only "fix" for the issue at hand

spring swift
#

i'm not afraid, i just don't like ppl getting mad at me kawa

woven cobalt
#

Otherwise, you gotta wait until Square Enix resolves the issue

spring swift
#

XD

#

no

gritty oracle
#

I reverted to old client and it worked for me.

spring swift
#

i'm just not very stress proof

low mica
#

I'll try that then

obsidian patio
#

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

spring swift
#

altho that's mostly a combination of character/medication/autism (In my case) if you really want to know it's origin

#

xD

obsidian patio
#

yeah i like the non-simplified look of the gauge much better

gritty oracle
#

can I see a fully leveled normal gauge? I'm only 45 so I only have the AF-UI stacks shown on it.

left cedar
#

Is the game down for anyone else? I can't get into it, it keeps giving me connection errors at certain points

gilded salmon
#

just gotta play a little with the simplified one

#

to get used to it

ashen sorrel
#

when would they fix the https issue?

gritty oracle
#

Yes, a lot of people have connection issues. Things that have helped people: reverting to old client, using VPN, deleting congif files

#

config*

left cedar
#

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

vagrant copper
#

@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.

gilded salmon
#

i only get my log in field for name and password when i set my game language to german xd

spring swift
#

how does one contact support

#

stupid question

obsidian patio
#

through the mogstation

#

80 would just have an extra polyglot crystal by the first one at the bottom

gritty oracle
#

thank you! Spiderwebs are umbral heart, purple stripe is polyglot timer and pink diamond is goooooone polyglot stacks?

spring swift
#

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

obsidian patio
#

The spider web-things shows enochian is active

#

The kinda-dim ice crystals are the umbral hearts

spring swift
#

doesn't want me to log in tho

gritty oracle
#

ah, I meant the "ice crystals".

pine bluff
#

im able to access mogstation no problem

low mica
#

Where can I find the config file? In documents or install location?

obsidian patio
#

unknown, if ever.

wooden hearth
#

unknown, but probably around the end of expansion

obsidian patio
#

Even when construction completes, the activity will probably stay around so the items from it aren't suddenly exclusive.

twilit arch
#

from yoshi-p's initial comment, its very likely that the turn ins will not go away

obsidian patio
#

There's a general guide pinned in #doh-dol-lounge if you want to take a look at that.

vagrant copper
#

Use a VPN to log in

jolly sorrel
#

Are Diadem and Eureka still in use?

alpine shadow
#

clear internet cache etc

obsidian patio
#

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

jolly sorrel
#

It felt like eureka was only doable in huge groups of people, how is that these days?

wintry chasm
#

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

jolly sorrel
#

Okay, that's totally fine then

wintry chasm
#

Since loads of people did it

#

I heard it's not too bad solo

ebon spear
#

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 ;-;

obsidian patio
#

They added a large Echo buff to it that makes it a lot easier to level up (+150%)

spring swift
#

that moment when you want to contact support but can't and still doesn't fix after a million tries

#

:3

pine bluff
#

oh my god my eyes

spring swift
#

don't start it arvz

#

XD

obsidian patio
#

@ebon spear complete your challenge log and complete daily roulettes for gil.

spring swift
#

lmao

#

1750$ laptop, glass fiber internet and every page in mog station either fails to load, or loads after 2 minutes..

#

if it loads

vocal star
#

square enix really hates europe huh?

spring swift
#

xD

ebon spear
#

@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

green pagoda
#

i guess...

wintry chasm
#

I've had no issues with it

#

Let me try now

vocal star
#

i guess im not the only one with the launcher problem

low mica
#

Nop same here

vagrant copper
#

Correct. A VPN or other things might get around the issue

spring swift
#

nop

obsidian patio
#

If you're brand new then there's no real other options for you.

low mica
#

Yeah but tbf I am not paying another 5 bucks to play an already sub to play game xD

obsidian patio
#

You can try gathering classes like miner and botanist as they require little initial investment.

low mica
#

Guess its just going to be either trying till it works or wait till its fixed

ebon spear
#

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 πŸ™‚

wintry chasm
#

works fine for me Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

maybe it's a regional issue

low mica
#

Could be

potent tapir
#

Try using Tracert on the IP

wintry chasm
#

I'm not technical enough to really diagnose it

vagrant copper
#

It's some parts of EU that are having problems

forest inlet
#

Do treasure maps and hunt trains otherwise level crafters and sell shit

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, there's a difference between pretty new and being at level 80. πŸ˜›

ebon spear
#

treasure maps? πŸ‘€

forest inlet
#

Materia is always ok money especially during new patches

ebon spear
#

LOL

obsidian patio
#

yep, Zonureskin maps to be precise.

spring swift
#

what country are you from @wintry chasm

#

as i'm in chaos too

wintry chasm
#

UK

potent tapir
#

...

obsidian patio
#

you can make a party for them in the party finder and get other people together and they can do their maps too.

spring swift
#

yeah most that have it seem to be around germany

#

the netherlands

potent tapir
#

No one's going to use Tracert?

spring swift
#

etc

potent tapir
low mica
#

Yep NL here

#

I'll try it

ebon spear
#

oooo i'll look into it ^^ thank you ❀️

dusk zenith
#

could a 10 ilvl increase translate to 1k more dps?

jolly sorrel
#

NL here too, issues here too

hollow ice
#

i also keep getting https error

spring swift
#

not a single dutch/german person can login

hollow ice
#

even tried reinstalling didnt help

forest inlet
#

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

dry ocean
#

How do you save your equipment when swaping jobs

ebon spear
#

i want to try! just not really sure where to start

potent tapir
#

What issue are you running into, @hollow ice ?

ebon spear
#

probably have to go watch some videos hahaha

hollow ice
#

HTTPS System Error -2146697211

spring swift
#

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

forest inlet
#

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

hollow ice
#

cant open launcher and cant log into any square enix related sites

#

everything else works fine

spring swift
#

swapping between saved ones is how you do it

#

Same here nezarin

hollow ice
#

yea ig european servers are on fire

#

or smth

forest inlet
#

Balance discord has a ton of information about crafter/gatherer jobs too

ebon spear
#

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

spring swift
#

and i still can't stop to wonder if the ff14 staff knows

potent tapir
#

Check your firewall, @hollow ice

#

You might have to allow FFXIV's different programs/URL's

spring swift
#

@leaden ginkgo]

vagrant copper
#

It's a pretty widespread issue right now Baka. Unlikely to be a firewall issue

low mica
#

Will probably not work have tried everything except VPN all the other fixes don't seem to do anything

spring swift
#

pretty much every european has this

#

germany, nl etc

vocal star
#

USE VPN

ebon spear
#

balance discord?

mossy tartan
#

is the only way of getting Allagan tomestones of allegory is through main scenario duty roulette?

forest inlet
#

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

low mica
#

Rather wait for it to fix itself than pay for a VPN for a sub based game but thats just me

ebon spear
#

i just picked fishing cuz i like fishing, there was no thought to it LOL

spring swift
#

same

forest inlet
#

You dont necessarily need fisher at all

#

Yeah you can fish if you like it lol

vagrant copper
#

You could use a free VPN πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈ

gritty oracle
#

To level up my trust party, I'm supposed to run holminster switch over and over, correct?

vagrant copper
low mica
#

I mean if you can advice a free one because all the ones that google gives you only have a free month

vagrant copper
#

ProtonVPN

forest inlet
#

Yea spam holminster until they can do dohn mheg -> spam dohn mheg until qitana -> rinse and repeat

hollow ice
#

i would love to report to tech support but as i said no square enix related site will open

low mica
#

Also paid VPN

mystic yew
#

do check the privacy policy on free vpn's though, if they're free they're usually making money off of selling your data

vagrant copper
low mica
#

Doesn't give me that option

#

Just starts with the 4 euro one

vagrant copper
#

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

low mica
#

Maybe they can't offer it here because they share your data and my country doesn't allow that

vagrant copper
#

Maybe you want to give contacting support a shot? Still haven't heard of anyone who has successfully done it

alpine shadow
#

@spring swift never had that issue as an european

#

tried cleanin cache?

woven cobalt
#

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

alpine shadow
#

never heard that it is required to have a vpn to play the game

low mica
#

Yeah its just that it doesn't give me the free option

woven cobalt
#

after that you can disconnect it

low mica
#

I got through finally still iffy launcher

#

But eventually got through

alpine shadow
#

yeah, its just the launcher that is iffy

#

you don't need a vpn for that

woven cobalt
#

Yeah, once you are ingame, everything works fine

#

only connected to a VPN to open up the game

low mica
#

Went on old launcher kept trying untill it finally got through to use my login and then I got through

alpine shadow
#

mostly its just your webbrowser cache that is causing it

#

and the website timing out

jolly sorrel
#

Not the launcher, SE's servers are iffy. Their main website and support page are equally hard to reach

woven cobalt
#

And it seems to be mostly a mid-EU issue

#

central EU I mean

alpine shadow
#

idk has anyone even tried clearing the cache?

woven cobalt
#

Yes

#

that didn't work

alpine shadow
#

ok

woven cobalt
#

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

spring swift
#

@alpine shadow yes i did. It's not all of europe btw

civic warren
#

I'm currently having the same issue, cannot connect on both PC and PS4

green pagoda
#

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

#

okay thanks

pine bluff
#

hey guys seeing some conflicting info on sites, can poetics be used to get eikonic gear?

twilit arch
#

yes, its the Dow/m 1 section of gear in idyllshire

green grail
#

the conflicting info is probably very old, as the sets used to use different tomes when they were endgame gear

pine bluff
#

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

green grail
#

yep, and scaevan gear at 70

mild ermine
#

My friend can't log in

pine bluff
#

there seems to be some server issues atm @mild ermine lots of people are getting the same problem

woven cobalt
#

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

twilit arch
#

though i wouldn't get the eikonic gear

#

if you're looking for ironworks equivalent, you should get shire @pine bluff

pine bluff
#

oh what's the difference?

twilit arch
#

eikonic is 230, shire is 260

split remnant
#

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.

pine bluff
#

ah ok, then is there any reason to get eikonic?

#

why does it exist

twilit arch
#

because it was added before shire

#

And its available for poetics if you want it for glamour

pine bluff
#

@split remnant im not sure how it compares to WoW but tanking isn't that complicated

#

ah ok thanks @twilit arch

civic warren
#

@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

pine bluff
#

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

civic warren
#

πŸ€”

#

i'll do some digging then on some VPNs

split remnant
#

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

pine bluff
#

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

mild ermine
#

My friend said thanks for the solution

jolly sorrel
#

The VPN solution worked for me, thanks whoever suggested protonvpn

pine bluff
#

does auto attack still proc automatically even if you're spamming skills all the time? I'm just noticing this now

leaden ginkgo

is staff aware of the issue and working on a fix so we wouldnt have to use vpns?

twilit arch
#

assuming you're within range of the boss, yes

@leaden ginkgo There hasn't been any communication about it so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

pine bluff
#

im not auto attacking

vagrant copper
#

Animations mean almost nothing for the battle system. It's weird

twilit arch
#

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

pine bluff

@leaden ginkgo it's almost 8pm in Tokyo, it may not be fixed until next business day, but it also might πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Sorting my inventory, is there any use for "Soul of the Crafter" still?

#

Do we still have specialist jobs?

obsidian patio
#

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

wintry chasm
#

also another specialist only skill that makes it so you don't finish a craft and only have 1 progress left

jolly sorrel

Alright, I'll keep them around then. Similarly, Mission Ceruleum?

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)

same problem wanted to look up exactly what the error code meant but site wont load

vagrant copper
#

It means you have a connection problem somewhere between you and the login server. That's it.

hollow ice
#

yea that is really sus. they could at least acknowledge it

#

no 3 entire countries have issues

vagrant copper
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

Doesn't matter?

civic warren
#

i started with Lancer since i like playing DPS but it's all personal preference

wintry chasm
#

Conjurer is kinda boring imo though

hollow ice
#

depends on if he wants to stay in queue for milennia

green pagoda
#

@burnt spear good solo starter is ranger dps, bc of kiting. brainafk but slow and safe is healer.

hollow ice
#

bc healers are residentsleeper on low lvls

#

especially nowadays

burnt spear
#

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

hollow ice
#

yea so no healer

burnt spear
#

Because that was my experience with ARC/BRD

wintry chasm
#

That...isn't how Archer plays though

#

You're remembering super funky

#

Archer is like, one of the more busy ones at low level

hollow ice
#

tbh in arr all archer was until like lvl 25 was 11111 and sometimes that ogcd

leaden ginkgo
#

whats the highest desynth level possible?

hollow ice
#

assassinate for archers forgot the name

wintry chasm
#

misery's end

hollow ice
#

no

@leaden ginkgo I think 470 or 480

hollow ice
#

bloodletter

#

i think

obsidian patio
#

Bloodletter was just a normal oGCD

hollow ice
#

yea

#

as i said

wintry chasm
#

That's not anything like assassinate though

hollow ice
#

its a low lvl ogcd

#

like it matters

#

at lvl 15

vagrant copper
#

In any case, archer is decent at low levels right now

wintry chasm
#

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

hollow ice
#

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

green pagoda
#

any trustable free vpn recommendable for the current login issue in europe?

#

trustable = not bloating/spying/spaming my pc

lament pendant
#

Anybody else trouble with the launcher? I keep getting this and I tried the following:

  1. Restarted pc
  2. Updated IE
  3. Added frontier.ffxiv.com to trusted sites
  4. Reset modem
  5. Stopped and restared DNS client
  6. Flushed DNS
  7. Tried launching with Firewall off
  8. Deleted BOOT.cfg
  9. Cleared cache + cookies
split topaz
#

I heared that NordVPN is pretty good. Yo another matter, does the launcher work for you`?

jolly sorrel
#

People are recommending protonvpn. I can't really say anything about how trustworthy it is.

keen storm
#

EU server are struggeling

hollow ice
#

@lament pendant waiting or vpn

jolly sorrel
#

Everyone around EU is having trouble. Get a VPN program, log in, close VPN and you're good.

lament pendant
#

Ah gotcha

hollow ice
#

if vpn no netherlands belguim or germany

split topaz
#

its funny, cause a german vpn works for me

lament pendant
#

Yeah that explains why my UK friends are having trouble

hollow ice
#

those are the ones ik of that dont work

lament pendant
#

not having*

jolly sorrel
#

Where can I exchange old tomestones for new ones?

wintry chasm
#

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

spring swift
#

@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

jolly sorrel
#

Got 'em. Is there also a place to exchange scrips? The scrip exchanger doesn't seem to be the guy

split topaz
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

Scrips....uhhhh

#

Jesus it's been ages

obsidian patio
#

The obsolete scrips? Auriana in mor Dhona

wintry chasm
#

I'd go to Idyllshire and try all the NPCs in that little square to the left

#

Oh thanks Wynne

jolly sorrel
#

Thank you

#

Auriana didn't, but the "Scrip Exchange" NPC next to her did.

gritty oracle
#

There are no underwater aether currents in this game, correct?

twilit arch
#

correct

#

unless you want to count the shisui dungeon quest as underwater current

#

but none of the open world currents are underwater

gritty oracle
#

uuugh I hated shisui, diving so deep into the darkness was so stressful for my thalassophobic ass

lament pendant
#

I legit thought the game would jumpscare at that point lmao

warped nest
#

One of the Kojin beast tribe quest made you dive to similar depth to snatch pearl

#

Just a heads up

lament pendant
#

Ah come on, really?

jolly sorrel
#

What's the recommended method for levelling up from 60 to 70?

leaden ginkgo
#

dailies

#

main story

jolly sorrel
#

And when I've done those?

spring swift
#

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?

warped nest
#

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

jolly sorrel
#

Awesome, thank you.

warped nest
#

Supplement exp source when you are queueing: Stormblood beast tribes, FATEs, daily hunt Bill from kugane

twilit arch
#

hunt bills can also be picked up in rhaglr's

warped nest
#

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

woven cobalt
#

@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

spring swift
#

ic

#

i'm kind of mistrusting with these things so

woven cobalt
#

as long as you arent using SoftEther, you should be fine

#

SoftEther is free, but it's not secure

spring swift
#

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

woven cobalt
#

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

alpine shadow
#

probably every services that provides free as a trial would prioritize paying customers

verbal zephyr
#

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..

next jay
#

Downloading patch?

woven cobalt
#

It's hard to backread, I understand. This is a known issue, europeans seem to be mostly affected

next jay
#

Tried vpn?

woven cobalt
#

Use a VPN to bypass the issue at hand

#

Use VPN -> log into launcher, click Play -> disconnect

verbal zephyr
woven cobalt
#

Please read what I wrote ._.

verbal zephyr
#

not as easy when you have no clue how to use a vpn xd

delicate crater
#

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

kind burrow
#

has anyone who had this issue got it resolved so far?

woven cobalt
#

By using a VPN, yes

#

otherwise, no

kind burrow
#

i see, hmmm glad i accidently bought a 6 month plan lol

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

unreal aspen
#

does any other class have a "look at me i fucked up my rotation" thing

#

or is it just ninja

faint flare
#

Just ninja really

unreal aspen
#

fuck

woven token
#

It can be obvious for a few others too, but not quite like ninja lol

vagrant copper
#

Thankfully most people aren't looking at the top of your head that closely. Usually.

raw solstice
#

I mostly just hear the sound effect haha

unreal aspen
#

whew okay i should just make a "mudra lag" macro

#

so i can try to convince everyone im not bad LMAO

faint flare
#

somewhere in the background "nice rabbit you dumb mofo"

woven token
#

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?

unreal aspen
#

i like to run lower level dungeons to get back into it if i dont play a class for a while

faint flare
#

Start with lower level dungeons

unreal aspen
#

so you can get used to the basic rotation/tactics

#

and then progress to more difficult stuff

wild terrace
#

will we get couple thousand Gill compensasion for this log in error ?

leaden ginkgo
#

probably not

woven token
#

Almost questioning myself on gunbreaker, why on earth do they have so many skills? 3 chotbars to fit it all

faint flare
#

For their ammo stuff

whole marlin
#

Hi anyone know is the role quest shared among the job? Like doing it with warrior or dark knight, it is the same story?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Thats why its called a role quest

heavy acorn
#

Is it possible to somehow disable battle/combat music, but keep other music like background music, level up jingle, etc?

whole marlin
#

Ok

faint flare
#

Its shared between every job in that role

whole marlin
#

I thought it will be different story

rich bay
scarlet arrow
#

doing it once unlocks your 430 artifact gear for all jobs with that role

vagrant copper
#

@heavy acorn There's a setting called "Enable normal battle music". Maybe try turning that off and see if it does what you want?

wild terrace
#

yea so the error is reported from Russia until France so most of europe pretty much

heavy acorn
#

@vagrant copper I'll give it a try, thanks

rocky tree
vagrant copper
#

Yes, that's why it says Tank

rich bay
#

@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.)

wild terrace
#

namazuconcern i just light a candle to Gaben and perform the Dancers buff moves

#

then i retry

lilac flume
#

Arr beast quests are 40-50 right?

vagrant copper
#

Something like that

wintry chasm
#

Roughly yeah

sick crow
#

been searching a bit, but haven't found much, what is the fastest way to farm treasure trove moogle without a blue mage?

faint flare
#

Pvp or running as a premade through aurum vale

sick crow
#

ahh, thanks

blissful spade
#

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

vagrant copper
#

Customer support is pretty slow right now given the low staff count. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

iron mesa
#

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

vagrant copper
#

Lots of people getting that right now. Easiest fix is using a VPN to log in

deft anvil
#

Is there any lv 71+ Potion, as in just HP restore consumable? It seems that highest I can find is lv70 super potions.

blissful cairn
#

just asking if i play on Omega can still play with people from Spriggan

twilit arch
#

yes

forest laurel
#

ye

#

they're both on chaos

twilit arch
#

spriggan and omega are both on chaos

blissful cairn
#

i see so there is cross server

burnt spear
#

how does the 3% exp food work? does it just increase the amount of exp gained by 3%?

forest laurel
#

ye

vagrant copper
#

Yep

faint flare
#

Basically everything is cross server

burnt spear
#

sounds pretty underwhelming

#

thanks

faint flare
#

Its free xp

wintry chasm
#

^

#

3% adds up when you've been leveling all your jobs

faint flare
#

Especially in dungeons

deft anvil
#

Food can also buff your stats, and 3% more exp for such a low cost it's basically zero is amazing.

wintry chasm
#

With the preferred server bonus that 3% becomes 6% as well which is...notable?

split remnant
#

Is there a button to compare two pieces of gear? Like rings for example.

vagrant copper
#

You can right-click an item and compare it to your currently equipped stuff

faint flare
#

Right click > item comparison

split remnant
#

Thank you.

#

Was hoping for a more convenient "hold alt" or something like that but that'll do.

gritty oracle
#

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.

faint flare
#

Because people are bad

#

And cant press buttons to past thr add dps check

twilit arch
#

people don't know how to dps adds

wintry chasm
#

^

#

or just aren't organised enough to do the mechanics of the add phase and die and then wipe from not enough DPS

gritty oracle
#

there's mechanics in the add phase? I didn't even notice, just dpsed the adds and dodgesd aoes.

twilit arch
#

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

wintry chasm
#

well the aoes and stack up marker is the mechanic really

deft anvil
#

didn't titania get a bad rep early in the expansion when people lacked gear and experience?

twilit arch
#

no

north venture
#

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?

twilit arch
#

its literally the same issue as it is now, people are bad and don't know/care to learn how to play their job

faint flare
#

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

twilit arch
#

@north venture if its old expansion content, you can solo most of those dungeons

#

Sb dungeons might be a bit slow/harder to do

north venture
#

yes I will unlock from oldest to newest

#

ok thanks for the info

iron oracle
#

Boost ppl exist so there’s also that sip

primal relic
#

Do the acc get any better? I’m still using lvl 1 earring necklace and ring

faint flare
#

Yes

#

After 50

#

Well at 50

primal relic
#

Wow

faint flare
#

You get real accessories

primal relic
#

So I be w/ these lvl 1 till 50?

#

Cuz some of these new acc r pretty trash

leaden ginkgo
#

You could get lucky and get aetherial acc drops from dungeons

#

And the msq gives out accessories a lot

twilit arch
#

accessories in ARR aren't really that significant

leaden ginkgo
#

^ also this

twilit arch
#

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

pine bluff
#

is it true you can't buy shire gear until close to the end of HW?

faint flare
#

You need access to Idyllshire

#

Which ks roughly 58 story

pine bluff
#

is that towards the end?

#

oh ok

leaden ginkgo
#

SB does the same thing I think, tome vendors are invisible until you beat 4.0 msq

mystic yew
#

isn't shire gear level 60 required?

primal relic
#

Alright I’ll keep an eye out. Trying to push for to unlock mount to make lvling easier.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes but you can buy it before then

pine bluff
#

eikonic requires idyllshire too right

#

hmm so im stuck with augmented ironworks for a while?

leaden ginkgo
#

You should be getting dungeon drops

#

Augmented ironworks stops being better than dungeon drops around level 55

pine bluff
#

I see

#

because I have Road to 70 im so overleveled

#

maybe marketboard is better for me

leaden ginkgo
#

Even if you don't roll on loot you get a guaranteed piece of dungeon gear from 51-59 dungeons

rich bay
#

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.

iron mesa
#

Eh? who was talking about Titania?

thick bolt
#

can I do the 8 man level 50 maps solo?
