twilit arch
#

there's multiple duty roulettes

polar badger
#

For the daily dungeons

twilit arch
#

so leveling roulette

#

which as i said, does not give poetics at 50

polar hound
#

pre-50 he only has one or two i think yeah

slate arrow
#

pre 50 only has leveling and guildhests

polar hound
#

at 50, Sidoh, you'll unlock more daily roulettes

slate arrow
#

and the PVP daily challenge

polar badger
#

Gotcha

polar hound
#

I should reiterate - you'll unlock more roulettes as you unlock more content like alliance raids trials etc which are 50+

polar badger
#

Sweet sounds good! Ty

polar hound

polar hound
#

incase you need some references np

polar badger
#

Wishing MSQ wasn't so long >.< Outlevelling it is painful

polar hound
#

they're nerfing ARR as of next patch by 13% but yeah it gets better dw the story's good

polar badger
#

13 quests yoshisrsly

#

thats just for 2.1-2.5 correct?

polar hound
#

no 13% of all of them

obsidian patio
#

2.0 to 2.55

polar badger
#

ahhh

obsidian patio
#

which is about 40 quests or so being axed completely

polar hound
#

lots of filler removed etc

obsidian patio
#

and a lot more being adjusted

polar hound
#

^^

polar badger
#

No timeline on patch tho

#

July still?

polar hound
#

not yet

stray wasp
leaden ginkgo
#

Is there any incentive to solo clear PoTD/HoH like extra exp or is it just for fun?

polar hound
#

the night pegasus whistle can drop from the higher floors, lots of money

#

furnishing items etc

#

and a title

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah i know about the pegasus,but that comes from the sacks you get so running it solo vs a group makes no difference

#

im just curious if theres any benefits to soloing it

#

as opposed to grouping it

polar hound
#

the title

obsidian patio
#

only an achievement

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha

#

Itd be nice if exp scaled along with how many people were in teh party, so soloing it would be close to grouping it otherwise grouping is just far better

#

Cuz soloing seems more fun but probably not worth the time

polar hound
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

@stray wasp if you dont have shb, then any exp you'd earn now goes poof

leaden ginkgo
#

FFXIV feels like itd be the perfect game for WoW's Mythic + mechanic

marble drift
#

On the flipside. WoW doesn't have ultimate raiding

leaden ginkgo
#

very true, imo the only true things that FFXIV is lacking right now is endgame open world content, PvP and incentive to run dungeons

#

Mythic + wud be amazing in ffxiv, better pvp would literally pull so many players to the game and open world content would be really nice

#

thats my opinion though

marble drift
#

having experianced the pvp players that wow brought in. no thank you.

glacial holly
#

Odin spawns every 72h?

slate arrow
#

It's random but always spawns the tension weather in all shroud zones until he dies

#

so as long as you hang out in gridania you'll know when he spawns

crimson wind
#

How easy is it to solo Eureka?

#

Not for Fates ofc

twilit arch
#

with the echo buff its not that bad

#

the potions you can buy from the vendor also help

crimson wind
#

And how long does one full relic take?

slate arrow
#

first one: however long it takes you to get to max level

#

subsequent ones are significantly faster

crimson wind
#

How long does max take?

regal mirage
#

Which healer job is best for someone who normally play’s dps

#

Easy to learn and simple rotations

obsidian patio
#

WHM is very simplistic as a healer with how straightforward their kit is.

rare karma
#

I chose at random for my first character but now that I’m creating a character for different servers I’m wondering do the patron deities even matter? Does it affect gameplay at all?

obsidian patio
#

They're also the most Mana Efficient of the 3 healer classes which gives more room for error.

#

patron diety doesn't matter.

rare karma
#

Ok yeah thought so

obsidian patio
#

the only time you ever see your choice reflected is at your Eternal Bonding (in-game marriage) as part of the decor.

#

Those green and orange orbs in the back

rare karma
#

Ok thx

crystal knoll
#

btw where do i look for a static, but not joining the fc if tht makes sense

obsidian patio
#

You can also try looking in party finder

crystal knoll
#

well usually thts what id do and have done

#

but not much luck there

regal mirage
#

Ok thanks

#

I guess it should have been obvious White Mage would be the most iconic healer

rare karma
#

Just to confirm when I level summoner I level scholar as well correct?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

yes

rare karma
#

Ok thx

polar hound
#

Yes but still need to do seperate job quests

simple shore
#

Returning player, gone for 2 years. Probably going to be transferring or rerolling since i quit before the datacenters got rearranged (and my original server landed on Crystal). Beyond the usual clear rates, population, etc. that are easily measured - any advice on server selection to help narrow the list further?

wintry chasm
#

Content is done across the data center

polar hound
#

Can world visit on any datacenter, so aether/primal/crystal

wintry chasm
#

so stuff like clear rates isn't a factor

#

You can't world visit to other data centers if that is what you mean Xaviell

polar hound
#

No

#

World visit any server within a datacenter*

simple shore
#

Yeah i already know about world visits but havent seen it firsthand so wasnt sure exactly how common it was to clear content while visiting, tbh

wintry chasm
#

But yeah Balmerick Aether and Primal aren't that different. I'd just go on a preferred server on one of those because you get insane xp bonuses and stuff

#

again

#

Balmerick

#

content is done across the data center

#

you don't even need to world visit for that

#

Like I could go into duty finder and be put with people from different servers

simple shore
#

How's the PF work for that these days?

#

is the PF still server specific?

polar hound
#

Oh yeah, no. Dont need to visit to run content with others on same dc..its auto unless you intentionally avoid

wintry chasm
#

You can set it to be Balmer

#

but it's cross world really

polar hound
#

Yeah by default everything is cross world for grouping

simple shore
#

Ah okay, so i dont even need to visit to see the PF. That makes things simpler.

golden garden
#

i bought ff14 on steam and never played it now when i logged in it says my account is inactive and when i went to the site it demanded that i pay again ??

polar hound
#

The option to limit it is there but...no sense typically

wintry chasm
#

So really the only thing that really matters is data center for content clearing. The only thing server really changes is whether or not you get the really good preferred server bonus, what FCs you can join since they are still server specific, and some other minor stuff

golden garden
#

"This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired" anyone got any ideas ?

wintry chasm
#

screenshot your mogstation page?

polar hound
#

Did you pay for a sub?

wintry chasm
#

It'd give more info than that

polar hound
#

Or just buy the game..trial stops being trial when you buy the game

golden garden
#

wait i thought if i buy the game then thats it

polar hound
#

This is a sub based game

golden garden
#

ok nvm and carry on xD

wintry chasm
#

getting the base game gives you 30 days though

polar hound
#

o7

polar badger
simple shore
#

With regards to the preferred server bonus, i was looking into that - it lasts until you hit 70 on anything (or the time runs out) right?

wintry chasm
#

Not quite the way you are thinking probably

#

When you hit level 70 it stops applying for that job but if you were to switch to one below 70 you'd get it again

oak ice
#

It only "runs out" on whatever hits 70, everything else will have it for 90 days or the server stops bekng preferred, whichever lasts longer

wintry chasm
#

and yeah it runs out after 90 days or when your server stops being preferred, whatever happens last

simple shore
#

Ah

wintry chasm
#

Usually 90 days lasts longer tbh

simple shore
#

Thats even better than i thought then

wintry chasm
#

also

polar hound
#

Ffxiv allows you to play any class on one toon and buffs are multiplicative

#

Exp buffs included

wintry chasm
#

if you aren't on a free trial and you hit level 30 on a preferred server you get 15 days of free game time

simple shore
#

Yeah i know about that, the game isnt new to me, ive just been gone for a couple years

polar hound
#

Oh right

wintry chasm
#

granted you can always pick another server and just make an alt on a preferred server and level that up in an afternoon for that free time

simple shore
#

Well, with the preferred server buff being much better than I thought, i guess that pretty much narrows my choices down to just those

#

No sense transferring if the exp buffs are that good

polar hound
#

Server status wont change until 5.3 at the least, i believe.

ember goblet
#

anyone still gt the album of the relic weapons?

wintry chasm
#

double xp from all sources and double any xp increasing effects is no joke

ember goblet
#

the 5.2 relics

polar hound
#

Even then if your server loses preferred, you keep it for 90 days but Cal already said all that oop

wintry chasm
simple shore
#

Out of curiosity - what did you mean by "double any exp increasing effects"?

wintry chasm
#

I couldn't find the album

wintry chasm
#

So like....

#

say you eat food

#

That gives +3% xp

#

with that buff it's +6%

simple shore
#

Ah, right. Okay that sensible.

wintry chasm
#

and that works for every boosting effect

#

Which you can stack a lot of

polar hound
#

Yep...buy a stack of boiled eggs and eat them as you level

wintry chasm
#

armoury xp I believe is effected, FC buffs, food, any preorder items, any RAF items, etc, etc

polar hound
#

Hall of the novice for that ring

wintry chasm
#

You could probably if you had everything hit something stupid like +600%

ember goblet
#

good enough cal

simple shore
#

Alright. Very helpful info, that definitely will make this less of a grating choice.

polar hound
#

Idk if you remember the story but try to enjoy it.. you >will out level msq but dont feel rushed

simple shore
#

I mostly remember it but it'll be nice to do it again

pine bluff
#

where do I go to look at hunts I've accepted? (not hunting log)

jade quartz
#

Key items tab.

#

In your inventory.

pine bluff
#

oh what a strange place to put that

#

are hunt monsters marked with an icon?

clever cave
#

Yea

pine bluff
#

oh yep I see it

sterile knoll
#

Yeah

#

^ this one

pine bluff
#

im level 60 and am close to starting HW, should I skip ARR hunts?

#

it's possible to just go straight to HW hunts right?

twilit arch
#

so long as you've unlocked the Hunt, you'll be able to pick up the unlock quest for heavensward hunts

pine bluff
#

ok I guess I need to wait until I can get into ishgard?

twilit arch
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

hey guys where can i find chocobo race challenges? i dont find any, im kinda new to this but its a lot of fun

#

^^

obsidian patio
#

Should be the same NPC that enters you in the races

#

or right by them

regal mirage
#

If I were to unlock one and only one crafting job, to unlock matera use, which should it be

obsidian patio
#

just to meld it? probably Culinarian since they don't rely on other crafting classes for materials

leaden ginkgo
#

thx wynne ill look

regal mirage
#

Thanks that is a good reason

#

Do I need to fish

obsidian patio
#

not really, fish aren't a common crafting material

#

You mainly just need Botanist and a bit of miner

mint nest
#

Hey, gonna join the game today. What EU Server would u recommend me to join? pref with people to make dungeons and stuff timers lower

obsidian patio
#

the duty finder is datacenter-wide, so server choice in terms of queue times doesn't matter

#

!preferred chaos

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Chaos:
Omega

obsidian patio
#

!preferred light

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Light:
Lich
Zodiark

obsidian patio
#

These worlds are currently Preferred Worlds for the EU and give bonus experience for newly created characters on them, helping you get through the story faster.

mint nest
#

ohh gotcha, thanks!!

#

anyways is there any difference between Light and Chaos? Like one datacenter is like EU east and the other west?

obsidian patio
#

yes

#

They're both in the same physical location of Frankfurt(?) Germany.

#

Chaos lends a bit more towards french people with Moogle being the Unofficial French Server, with Light having Shiva as the unofficial German server.

#

But you'll still find plenty of english speakers on both datacenters

mint nest
#

Ty so much Wynne 🙂

pine bluff
#

is there a trick to finding these hunt targets? i've been circling eastern thanalan looking for a Gatling but can't find it

last vale
#

noob question but- how do you exit PotD/HoH without going and clicking on the exit portal?

#

it seems faster

#

as people in grp just leaving the grp

jade quartz
#

Gatling is a B rank. There's only one of him in existence at a time, and he can be found in many locations across East Than

pine bluff
#

yea I've been checking those spots

#

but can't find it

obsidian patio
#

Your hunt bill will also tell you when you get close to him

pine bluff
#

oh? how?

#

a message on the screen?

obsidian patio
#

yep

#

it points to a compass direction when the mob loads in on your end

forest laurel
#

it'll say smth like "you sense your mark to the northwest"

pine bluff
#

ive circled the entire map twice but didn't get anything like that 😦

dry ocean
#

do Hellfire armors look all the same?

pine bluff
#

ill just try again later

dry ocean
#

regardless of them having diff names?

forest laurel
dry ocean

thanks

just be aware that if you wanna check out newer shb gear like the edenverse gear, crystarium gear, nier raid gear, neo-ishgardian gear, it isn't there unfortunately

#

but everything else before that is there

Recommended samurai armour and accessories from the shire?

forest laurel
#

be sure to get a spare unaugmented ring too once you have an augmented ring.

wheat hazel
#

Quick question can you mail things cross server? Like gil for example

obsidian patio
#

Nope, can only mail to people on your server

#

but you can directly trade with people on other servers

wheat hazel
#

With the world visit?

obsidian patio
#

yep

wheat hazel
#

So within the datacenter you can get Gil around not cross datacenter interesting thank you

prime kite
#

Hey i'm looking into RDM and SAM which has better dps at 80 ?

Meta Jobs FAQ
Info

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

Click here for the best jobs in the game though

turbid vale
#

hi guys i downloading game in proccess i can resume download if internet disconect

prime kite
#

Im NOT after meta

twilit arch
#

SAM is going to do more dps than RDM

prime kite
#

Really even at 80 ?

twilit arch
#

yes, SAM is a selfish dps so its dps is higher to make up for the lack of raid buffs

#

RDM has several raid buffs/utility therefore its dps is going to be lower

pallid eagle
#

I would say RDM more chilled than SAM cause you always be busy

prime kite
#

Oh really why that ?

pallid eagle
#

Cause you can able to most of story quests without struggle to 80 even great for Eureka (at 70) and also always wanted in groups

pine bluff
#

what does this icon mean

forest laurel
#

they're in queue for duty finder stuff

pine bluff
#

ah

carmine laurel
#

Is attempting Edens verse savage through duty finder a dumb idea?

twilit arch
#

EU/NA does not use duty finder for extremes or savage

#

you should use party finder to find or make a group for it

oblique yew
#

Hello

carmine laurel
#

I'm in a duty finder que for resurrection savage as we speak

oblique yew
#

I'm coming back after 2 weeks

#

Did I miss anything?

forest laurel
#

not much at all tbh

prime kite
#

So if I wanted to have fun and relaxing gameplay to 80 Red Mage would be way to go ?

pallid eagle
#

Correct

oblique yew
#

I'm still lvl 46

forest laurel
#

yeah kinda, rdm is a pretty easy job to get into

oblique yew
#

And I kinda forgot how to play

prime kite
#

Thank you ❤️

rough lance
#

should i farm potd til 73/73 then use 60/60 to upgrade or jus upgrade wiff 60/60 and go farm at floor 1 again til 13/13 to go floor 51

jade quartz
#

You must have completed the base Stormblood story to unlock the vendor.

#

Once you've done that, it's purchased from the Tomestone Exchange NPC in Rhalgr's Reach, in exchange for Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.

#

The Tomestone Exchange is on the east side, just north of the Aetheryte.

Hi everyone, is there any rotation or something for WHM ? 🤔 or you spam heal skills and if you have time do dps as well ?

warped nest
#

At max level

#

You have a lot of time to Dps

mild ermine
#

Can I have a guide for GNB?

warped nest
#

And you almost never spam your healing spell

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

Set yourself as a GNB, and their Jarvis will hook you up

#

WHM don't have rotation it has priorities (kinda) to determine which heal to use

solemn delta
#

On controller what's the setting that makes it when you use an ability on your second bar it goes back to your first please?

mild ermine
#

How do I set myself to GNB?

solemn delta
#

My second bar is usually my AoE and other important stuff on DPS

faint flare
#

Do the quest in new gridina after hitting lv60

solemn delta
#

Then equip weapon

warped nest
#

They probably meant how to do that in the Balance discord

solemn delta
#

Nobody controller player I guess lol

warped nest
#

On controller what's the setting that makes it when you use an ability on your second bar it goes back to your first please?
@solemn delta I don't think it exist, but I am more than happy to be proven wrong

faint flare
#

Then just press the gnb emote in role selection

solemn delta
#

I'll check with FC

faint flare
#

The going backbto original hotbar

#

Is onlt for the wxhb

solemn delta
#

Few controller players there

warped nest
#

That doesn't even count as going back

faint flare
#

Aka the double tap triggers

warped nest
#

It is undoing WXHB overlay

faint flare
#

If you want to class it as that

solemn delta
#

Any ability I use it goes back

warped nest
#

How did you get to your 2nd hotbar from your 1st hotbar?

#

Just R1 + button?

solemn delta
#

Just R1

warped nest
#

R1 is your pet/mount hotbar

#

It is marked with a + right?

solemn delta
#

Nope just R1 mate

#

Mind im on ps4

warped nest
#

There is no setting to do what you want with your + crosshotbar

#

If you want that behavior, you want to use WXHB with other crosshotbar (2 through 8)

pallid eagle
#

RDM food ?>

#

Stuff cabbage ?

faint flare
#

Stuffed highlander cabbage

pallid eagle
#

Sweet been using that on DRG so okay im good

faint flare
#

Most jobs use it unless they need the extra speed to hit a specific gcd tier

bronze steeple
#

I played this game at launch a few years ago, I was thinking of picking it back up and playing it by buying the complete edition with the dlcs. Will I be able to use the 30 day membership that comes with that edition? It had this line in the product

#

Please note that the FINAL FANTASY® XIV: Complete Edition pack also includes FINAL FANTASY® XIV: HEAVENSWARD, FINAL FANTASY® XIV: STORMBLOOD and FINAL FANTASY® XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS. The 30-day free play period included with purchase can only be applied once to each platform on a single service account. Moreover, this 30-day free play period is not applicable to platforms on which a license has already been registered.

faint flare
#

If you brought the game before than no

#

The 30days is from registering the base game

bronze steeple
#

so if I wanted to play ff14 today i'd have to pay like 80$

faint flare
#

If you already brought the game then all you.need to buy is Shadowbringers

faint flare
#

Shadowbringers gives you all expansions

bronze steeple
#

are you sure about that?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

SE bundles old expansions into the new one

#

To save new/returning players money

#

Plus the story is linear so it would be extremely stupid not to

bronze steeple
#

so why the complete edition then

vagrant copper
#

For new people

twilit arch
#

for new players who want everything in one fell swoop

faint flare
#

The complete edition gives the base game AND all expansions

twilit arch
#

you still need the base game

faint flare
#

Shadowbringers gives only expansions and not base game

bronze steeple
#

which I still own the base game, took me a min to dig it up

faint flare
#

If you already own the base game, Shadowbringers is all you need

#

I dony think you can even use the complete edition code if you own the base game

#

Since you already have the base game

bronze steeple
#

so how's the game in 2020/

faint flare
#

Good

#

Most popular its been

bronze steeple
#

on NA?

faint flare
#

In the world

#

There's always a healthy player base

bronze steeple
#

I saw the store and some level boost and stuff. It's not pay to win is it

jade quartz
#

No

faint flare
#

No

#

Its just convince if you dont wanna grind the story and level

#

You'll still need.to do the last 10 levels and Shadowbringers story

#

Its for people who want to catch up faster

#

Doesn't give any advantage

bronze steeple
#

does anyone have a good current gameplay video that they feel really outlines ff 14 combat today? It's been so long don't even remember what it looks/feels like

#

Another question, does FF14 suffer from class over population? Some MMOs it's really hard to play say a DPS in a group because there are so many DPS not enough tanks/healers

#

I'm using very board terms granted.

jade quartz
#

There are of course more dps, and dps have longer queue times for dungeon matchmaking.

#

Wouldn't say it suffers from it

#

it's just a reality of the genre

forest lark
#

Where to get Shivas diamond dust emote?

gentle oyster
#

But that's the nature of dps

mossy parrot
#

can't

#

came with a statue that afaik isn't sold anymore

faint flare
#

That emote is exclusive to a expensive statue

jade quartz
#

@forest lark buy a physical figurine

faint flare
#

^

jade quartz
#

which yeah I don't think is currently available

forest lark
#

Shame

gentle oyster
#

More people are going to go to dos cause they dont want the responsibility of keeping the party alive

mossy parrot
#

I wanted it too, then learned that even if I was willing to shell out that much money, I couldn't get it :S

bronze steeple
#

Do I get like a free server transfer on my account or anything? It's a friend of mine who's trying to pull me into the game, but I'm not on his server

frank chasm
#

Can we own houses on multiple accounts on the same world?

gentle oyster
#

No free transfers sadly

open coral
#

You cannot own multiple personal homes on a single world, no

faint flare
#

No free transfer but if you're on the same data centre you can visit their world

jade quartz
#

On multiple accounts yes naturally. On multiple characters on the same account, no.

gentle oyster
#

The last of those happened a while back

open coral
#

You can, however, own a personal house and an FC house.

finite gorge
#

So i'm done with the Stormblood main quest line, lvl 73 and want to start shadowbringers. Where do i do that?

faint flare
#

Keep doing the story

gentle oyster
#

Keep following the maon story

faint flare
#

You need to finish post stormblood story

jade quartz
#

The main story is linear.

open coral
#

If you own the Shadowbringers expansion, then continue doing MSQ msq

gentle oyster
#

Should be a next quest thing on your hud somewhere

bronze steeple
#

how much is the server transfer?

finite gorge
#

Ahh. There is so much traveling around all i was wondering if i was doing the wrong quest

#

Thanks

gentle oyster
#

Eh no kore than 20$ i think? Could be wrong

open coral
#

As long as the quests you're doing have the msq icon, you're on the right track @finite gorge

vagrant copper
#

Transfers are $18 USD

gentle oyster
#

I was close lol

finite gorge
#

Good to know :) Ty

bronze steeple
#

do i lose any items or gear or progress transferring servers

faint flare
#

No

But you'll need to leave your FC if you're still in one

Currently

at the moment so thats kind of moot

just saw a nice 2handed sword and was trying to find out where to get it but I'm not landing on the correct info. It's called deathbringer ultima, can anyone help me identify the drop location please?

From Ultima weapon ultimate

jade quartz
#

Drops from The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)

faint flare
#

Aka the weapon refrain Ultimate

open coral
#

aka UwU

faint flare
#

Unlocked by clearing Omega 8 Savage

jade quartz
#

It's some of the most difficult content in the game and usually requires some months of progression by a static group of 8 people.

rich bay
#

Yup, bought with the Ultima Totem in Rhelgar's reach.

The non-glowy version of Deathbringer is the level 60 DRK artifact weapon, exchangeable for Centurio Seals in Ishgard.

Guys, outfit-wise, do outfits gotten after ARR tend to be on the gaudier side, or are there also subdued (but still nice-looking) pieces to look forward to?

jade quartz
#

Quite a bit more attainable.

#

There are plenty of nice subdued pieces.

#

There is a wide variety of equipment in this game.

open coral
#

There's also glamour, for when you don't like how your gear looks.

quartz pivot
#

So I should hold off on buying expensive ones for now? Like, from the board?

jade quartz

I mean

up to you

If you just want them for the appearance, then you do you.

What's the difference between aether, primal and crystal recruitment?

Those are for the three different NA datacenters.

Aether will have recruitment posts for Aether DC servers, Primal for Primal DC server, and Crystal for Crystal DC severs.

#

Once i hit 50 if im not caught up on MSQ. Is it worth to buy gear with poetics?

gentle oyster
#

Yes. The irinworks gear is the best you'll get for a good while post 50 too

pine bluff
#

is there much point in ranking up past second lieutenant which unlocks hunts? that's the last major unlock for GCs right?

vagrant copper
#

The later ranks also unlock more items in the shop, some emotes and stuff

jade quartz
#

Further rank-ups increase the GC seal cap and unlock a few cosmetics.

#

They also aren't achieved through spending seals anymore, but through ranking up your GC squadron.

gentle oyster
#

^

pine bluff
#

oh ok

dusky echo
#

also ironworks gear isn't great

#

shire gear is

#

but that's lv60 iirc

gentle oyster
#

Yes

#

50 ironworks is best

dusky echo
#

50>60 is a snooze

#

60>70 is where you'll want a bit more gear

gentle oyster
#

60 shire

polar badger
#

Sounds good

dusky echo
#

shire gear lasts till ~65

gentle oyster
#

70 is scaevan

polar badger
#

Still pretty fast with all the xp boosts I'd assume

gentle oyster
#

Buy those with poetics as soon as your able and you'll be set for a while into the next set of content

#

Yeah you'll probably outrank em quick enough... But you'll still get some good use out of em til you can reach the cap hub for the expansion

#

Like Dirk said around 55/65/75 you should look at replacing them

polar badger
#

Nice

quartz pivot
#

Guys, a heart icon in the market board means that the item is being bought often, yes?

twilit arch
#

no, it means people are watching that item

#

you'd actually have to look at that items sale history to see how often its being bought

quartz pivot
#

And that’s available in the market board?

twilit arch
#

yes

All right thanks :>

My friend got the PS4 starter edition for free last week he wants to buy the complete edition. I guess that’s a digital code you put in right? Then when he logs in it asks what do you want to add to the account?

polar badger
#

You put the code in the psn store

#

I deleted the starter edition and redownloaded

jade quartz
#

@hazy flint he needs to buy Shadowbringers.

#

Starter Edition + Shadowbringers = you have everything, the full game.

#

Complete Edition is just Starter Edition and Shadowbringers combined into one purchase.

polar badger
#

Was it the starter edition for free or just the free trial to 35 tho?

faint flare
#

Starter

polar badger
#

I thought the free trial up to 35 was free on PSN

open coral
#

Starter Edition was free for PS4.

faint flare
#

Ps4 had the starter edition for free for like 4 days

open coral
#

Different from the free trial.

#

Free trial is always free. Starter edition is all of ARR with none of the free trial restrictions.

Hmm

Shadowbringers is £34.99 where as complete is £27.99 XD

https://gyazo.com/4941e85e61f7ab2f86224be6bd496f46 okay I am kinda overwhelmed haha, so I know that i can sell some of these to the marketboard, or "have retainer sell items" that what cant be sold to the marketboard to (question: does this act the same way as if you would sell them to a normal vendor?)
my main question is though, what other options do I have to deal with this junk?

open coral
#

Selling items on the market board is different than selling to a vendor. The Market board is the player market, so other players may or may not choose to purchase the item(s) you put up for sale, and the resulting income is stored by your retainer until you choose to collect it.

#

Your other option, at least for the green, pink, blue, and some of the HQ items, would be to trade it in to your Grand Company (Supply and Provisioning Missions) for seals.

strange coral
#

Vendor the stuff you can buy back from vendors on the cheap. Put anything you're keeping for glamour in the glamour dresser/armoire. Trade stuff you don't care about for GC seals or at doman enclave.

strong sphinx
#

at what rank are these available?

dusky echo
#

so uh none of that is worth anything on the board

#

you'll wind up vendoring it

open coral
#

MB is available as soon as you have access to retainers. But it is a subjective market, so you're not guaranteed to actually sell anything.

strong sphinx
#

thanks that cleared up a lot, also I heard about materia, should i consider that?

dusky echo
#

materia doesnt matter unless you're doing crafting or are 80

open coral
#

Materia only really matter at max level, and then really only if you're planning to do high-level endgame content.

dusky echo
#

well

#

craft/gathering requires it

#

but otherwise sure

open coral
#

Materia basically add a flat value of stats to your gear per materia affixed. Higher level gear consistently will have anywhere from 1-5 slots where materia can be affixed to it.

strong sphinx
#

so that means, I should not bother seeling grey items to the marketboard and instead sell to vendor?

#

und everything green or above to grand company?

open coral
#

Unless you want to keep them for your personal glamour use, yes. Pretty much.

mild ermine
#

Guys, I have someone new who wants to try the game. And they are interested in casters.

#

What would you suggest as a good starter caster?

strong sphinx
#

alright, alrdy sorted out everyxting for glamour purposes so thats good

open coral
#

Either Conjurer or Thaumaturge.

dusky echo
#

arcanist

#

because scholar owns bones

mild ermine
#

Well yes, those are the only two available at the beginning no?

open coral
#

There's also Arcanist

dusky echo
#

summoner can get deleted thanks

open coral
#

I don't really recommend that for a beginner though

mild ermine
#

Conjurer is a healer though right?

dusky echo
#

what

open coral
#

CNJ is a healer, yes.

mild ermine
#

I want to avoid healer and tank for them

faint flare
#

Yes

dusky echo
#

healing is way easy in ffxiv

open coral
#

Then I would recommend Thaumaturge/Black Mage.

#

It's a pretty easy class to pick up the basics of.

mild ermine
#

Yes, but I rather they didn't have to shoulder the responsibility of healing people and keeping people alive.

dusky echo
#

If you aim low you'll never go high :p

mild ermine
#

It's easier to tell when a tank or healer does bad anyway because of how their role impacts the group.

open coral
#

Honestly CNJ is a pretty easy healer all the way to 80 WHM

mild ermine
#

Ya because WHM is best

mossy parrot
#

or how much the healer curses behind the screen 🙃 (I swear if we could create power from healer salt...)

#

isn't technically AST the best, but harder to learn/master? 🤔

open coral
#

BLOOD for the BLOOD LILY

#

WHM has the strongest pure healing. AST is best from a support standpoint.

mossy parrot
#

only did sch and whm, haven't even unlocked AST yet 🙃

dusky echo
#

WHM is so boring

open coral
#

That's subjective, and we're getting off topic

dusky echo
#

take all the finesse out

#

add a ton of numbers 😦

faint flare
#

Healing isnt hard provided you know how to press 👏your 👏buttons 👏

#

Nice discord

dusky echo
#

thanks for the viruses

faint flare
#

You eventually end uo dpsing most the time

open coral
#

But @mild ermine I would recommend Thaumaturge for your friend if they're more interested in offense than healing, or Conjurer if they think they might want to start as a healer.

prime kite

So between RDM and MCH which more stronger ?

are all dyes available through mb?

once you finish HW and unlock the firmament, there's a npc who sells a TON of dyes

on top of the other randos who already do

protip: best way to level all your DOH without spending years or millions

hit cln 80 with 700k gil and a dozenish hours

Alright will look into it! thx!

polar badger
#

As a new player is it worth trying to level DOH as you level or just wait till lvl cap?

strong sphinx
#

if I dye something will it be safed with the glmaour presets?

jade quartz
#

Level DoH whenever you want

#

Or never

#

It’s optional

dusky echo
#

ok so unless you 100% do restoration, you'll want to wait till you hit 80 and unlocked all the fast travel

jade quartz
#

Doesn’t really provide significant benefits while you’re leveling so I’d recommend prioritising your main job and MSQ

polar badger
#

Okay thx

jade quartz
#

However getting into it earlier is totally fine

dusky echo
#

the only "benefit" you can get is being able to overmeld when you hit 80

jade quartz
#

Waiting until you hit 80 is really not necessary

dusky echo
#

and having more money

#

money does help a bit

viral narwhal
#

Is it possible to solo coils or do it with a small lv 80 group? Me and my friends did not get the chance to play in ARR and I really wanna do them but all the normal groups are quick runs that skip everything.

dusky echo
#

you wont be crafting neo-ishgard stuff for a while but there's all sorts of small markets to get into

faint flare
#

They can be pretty much soloed at 80

chilly fog
#

I'm a new player and I'm a conjurer right now, is there anything I should know about being a healer/ffxiv in general? sorry if this a dumb question lol

open coral
#

As a healer, your job is to keep an eye not only on your party's health, but on the flow of the fight in general.

#

Once you learn how each fight flows, you'll be able to prioritize healing when it's needed, and dps when it's not.

faint flare
#

You're not expected to keep people at 100%, just enough to survive the next hit

Damage is scripted out the ass and highly predictable

You're expcted to dps as much as possible

open coral
#

@lean dragon Just like when you're doing character creation, you're asked if you want to save the appearance when you finish with retainer appearance creation.

#

Just say yes, and it will save that customization.

chilly fog
#

ty guys

open coral
#

Why?

#

You only need to save it once.

#

Once a customization is saved, it's always saved unless you overwrite the save slot.

#

I'm not sure what your problem is.

#

So I can't give you any more information than I already have.

#

That won't change your existing retainer's appearance, if that's your concern.

#

Otherwise, the only way to re-save the appearance would be to either create a new retainer with the same appearance, or create a new player character with the same appearance, and save it in a new slot.

#

You could then subsequently delete the character or retainer, but the customization will remain in your list of saved character appearances if you ever want to use it again.

#

I'm not sure why you need to do this, since saved custom appearances have no impact on anything. They're basically just a shortcut for future character/retainer creation.

solemn delta
#

Starting to use squadrons to get my physical ranged up and I had a few questions if anyone would please.

Brayflox Longstop is 32 and you don't get another dungeon until 41. It says it level syncs if higher so will I get more exp if I'm 35+ until The Stone Vigil?

ACN or ARC for second dps?

Can I level above 40 without doing the rank up quest?

Can you set your tank to control aggro better or anything?

Sorry for many questions but got 30 days left if road to 70 wanting to make most out of it!

Hello! I am a potentially a new player EU based.
I wanted to ask how casual friendly is this game, and how difficult is to get into recent content.
What would be a percentage between casual and hardcore gameplay. Can you do casual raiding or is it just elitist?
How is the community age group?
Is the entry level subscription 11 euro just what you need if you just play with 1 character(as you can play all the jobs/classes anyways with it right?)

#

I have lots of questions, and I watched several videos read online, but didnt yet get the full feel for it. Which I would be trying out soon anyways, as I am quite intrigued as why this game is loved so much.

faint flare
#

Very casual friendlu

Not too difficult to get into recent content

More casual than hardcore probably. Elitisim isnt that prevalent

Entry sub is enough for 1 character

pine bluff
#

it's pretty casual friendly I'd say, I just started about 2 weeks ago myself

#

you can play casually or you can take it hardcore, it caters well to both styles

obsidian wren
#

Normal mode raids are pretty casualfriendly as well, you can typically go into it mostly blind just knowing game mechanics
If you want to do the savage tier raids you'll need to communicate and plan a strategy with you team though, you could use party finder for this but quality of other players may differ

brazen hawk
#

Without any disrespect - this game is playable on console, you can play it casual-like

sweet leaf
#

That sounds awesome. I do admit the subscription fee mildly deters me. (i would probably play it with my wife and we are a bit older folk) and paying 80euro upfront is ew.
I never expected casual and raiding in a sentence together. That sounds great.
Any recommendation for a european server for its community?

#

thanks for all the coming replies by the way! 😄

Any of them really. Alot of stuff is cross data centre and Chaos and Light are mostly even

As my Groupt didn't want to talk to me: 2 Questions about Duty/Dungeon Loot: Why couldn't i press "Need" as a Gladiator? Because this Item is for multiple Classes? And second: If another member wins this item, is it tradeable within the group?

twilit arch

because that item isn't intended for tanks

#

even if technically tanks can use it

#

its meant for disciple of war dps

#

and no, you cannot trade inside of instances

slate arrow
#

below level 50 the gear seperation is ambiguous

#

if it has dexterity it's generally meant for DPS

#

@vocal star recommended method is grinding out yellow scrips to buy tokens to exchange for sand

#

all other methods are significantly more grindy

brazen hawk
#

Hm, okay thanks for the answers. I dont mind dps stats on tankequip, as long the healer can keep up, i look for faster clear speed 😄

As long as your vitality is up you'll be fine

#

Gear that was used to glamour another piece is not affected in any way.

pine bluff
#

is restoring an item from the dresser free?

crimson wind
#

The piece you glamour isn't affected because glamour is just an illusion

whole wasp
#

Yes but putting it back in takes another prism.

agile laurel
#

@nova umbra all you can do is click alongside 'em or give in i'm afraid

nova umbra
#

😦

twilit arch
#

glamour doesnt affect the amount of seals it turns in for

#

how many seals you get from the item is based on the itemself

agile laurel
#

unrelated - why can I not reacquire the AST welkin set from calamity salvager?

twilit arch
#

because the lv60 AF set was tomestone gear

agile laurel
#

Really? whoops. cheers

pine bluff
#

why does it give me this warning about the armoire? it doesn't do this for some other gear

twilit arch
#

They're bought with centurio seals now

#

because the item can go into the armoire

raven sage
#

Because it can be placed in it

twilit arch
#

most other items cannot

crimson wind
#

So when I wipe on Ruby phase 2, do I go back to 1

raven sage
#

Very few items can so it makes it a point to let you know

whole wasp
#

Armoire is a special chest mostly for event items.

agile laurel
#

gah. hope i have enough seals then

pine bluff
#

oh right

whole wasp
#

@crimson wind no you stay at 2

pine bluff
#

but you cant use the armoire for glamour right

raven sage
#

You can

twilit arch
#

yes

#

you can

raven sage
#

But you access it through the glamour dresser

pine bluff
#

oh

whole wasp
#

Most wipe immediately when they phase 2 to reset CDs

twilit arch
#

its an option when you're creating a plate

crimson wind
#

Phase 2 also has a separate LB too?

nova umbra
#

wait is housing demolition still suspended?

whole wasp
#

Yup. LB resets as per usual with boss that has a boss gate

twilit arch
#

yes

faint flare
#

Phase 2 resets LB when reaching it

whole wasp
#

Like kefka, omega etc.

nova umbra
#

dang, well I feel dumb for going around trying to find a house for sale lol

twilit arch
#

they have made no announcement yet in regards to demolish being reinstated

crimson wind
#

So should I expect lb3 in p1?

faint flare
#

Yes

crimson wind
#

Ok

steep heron
#

No

whole wasp
#

Yea. Its "free" anyway

faint flare
#

Depending on how bad the group is

#

If you're good you'll get LB2 as he skips half the fight

crimson wind
#

Considering I'm doing a prog group, I'm going to hit lb3

steep heron
#

I've never seen lb 3 In p1 and I've been in some garbage groups

whole wasp
#

Your group might decide to save for heal LB3 if struggling too.

faint flare
#

I've seen it rarely

steep heron
#

Is it even possible? I know p2 has a bunch of lb generation for doing mechs

faint flare
#

If you're basically hitting the natural enrage and doing the stuff to generate the extra Lb like critical healing and stuff

gritty oracle
#

@pine bluff To elaborate, if you can store an item in the armoire, you absolutely should. The glamour dresser only has 400 slots, and if you intend to glamour for multiple classes or are really into glamouring, it'll fill up fast, trust me. Plus placing it into the armoire is free, it doesn't cost a glamour prism.

twilit abyss
#

can FCs be cross server?

twilit arch
#

no

twilit abyss
#

damn

reef reef
#

If you queue up for dungeons, its cross world, but not cross data center correct?

whole wasp
#

Correct.

#

All servers inside crystal can queue together. But servers in crystal and servers in aether cannot queue together.

reef reef
#

Thanks!

finite ferry
#

what can one do with 100 mil gil besides housing right bow?

faint flare
#

Buy all the things

slate arrow
#

nothing

whole wasp
#

Glamour i guess.

#

The only true gil sink in the game is teleportation fees and housing.

mint nest
#

Is a bad idea ti swap class at lvl 20? I started as Gladiator but i feel tanking is not for me

slate arrow
#

nah

faint flare
#

Swap whenever you want

reef reef
#

I may have a complicated questions as I am considering to return to this game so sorry in advance.

faint flare
#

Getting back to 20 is easy

reef reef
#

I was gone mid HW and I don't remember most system in game. I remember doing daily quest allows me to collect some currency but I don't remember what they are for other than buying some gears.
So I am wonder how many of those currency exist, what do they use for and is that the best way to get end game gears?

mint nest
#

Whats the best dps melee for low lvl?

wicked badger
#

guys whats the best way to level gatherers and crafter now? spam diadem?

vocal canyon
#

is there a complete list of the potd/hoh loot table anywhere?

whole wasp
#

How low level? 50

mint nest
#

Under 50

#

I Will be Sam at 50

faint flare
#

@wicked badger leves for gatherers, leves and ishgard for crafters

whole wasp
#

Leves is still the most efficient but expensive. Diadem is pretty good otherwise.

vocal canyon
#

dont worry about the best, no matter what you choose under 50 it'll be pretty basic

faint flare
#

Remember daily GC turn ins

leaden ginkgo
#

what is paraes

#

parses

#

i think i’m spelling it right

faint flare
#

A parse is a log of DPS numbers

wicked badger
#

@faint flare even for fisher?

whole wasp
#

Maybe monk since they share gear. Otherwise dragoon is okay too.

leaden ginkgo
#

wow

last brook
#

Got a cool new monitor. Entered my first quest cutscene and it looks likes this. Anyway to remove the black bars on the side?

faint flare
#

Fisher has bonus of the ocean fishing every 2 hours for like 3+ levels

wicked badger
#

@faint flare so leves got buffed ? im back to the game after 8 months btw

whole wasp
#

Everything got buffed.

twilit arch
#

leves have always been the best way to level crafting/gathering

whole wasp
#

Leve still king.

twilit arch
#

but yes they did get buff in 5.1

wicked badger
#

ah ok ty!

twilit arch
#

diadem is good if you want to be lazy/are going to level your crafters via restoration

slate arrow
#

@last brook no, cutscenes were only designed for 16:9

#

You could mod away the black bars but then you'd see stuff like t-posing and weird shenanigans

reef reef
#

does relic weapon quest restart every expansion?

slate arrow
#

yes you start every relic from scratch

#

it's not a continuous upgrade path

reef reef
#

as in, if i never had a relic weapon, i dont have to go thru the previous ones?

slate arrow
#

yes

reef reef
#

and its pain in the butt every time?

#

😄

twilit arch
#

relics are intended to be grinds

slate arrow
#

the alternative is grinding out savage or waiting 4 to 8 weeks for a weapon

reef reef
#

and relics are always the absolute best gear u can get?

whole wasp
#

Basically those who are good players raid. Those who are not so good players or just wanna chill grind instead.

reef reef
#

i see

slate arrow
#

not until x.5 or so

whole wasp
#

Relics are only the best at the end of an expansion

#

Otherwise they are usually the 2nd best.

reef reef
#

would u explain that

leaden ginkgo
#

i’m reading these two guys argue over which tank is the best

reef reef
#

Otherwise they are usually the 2nd best.
@whole wasp

leaden ginkgo
#

one guy is saying that gnb is better at main tanking in raids due to the amount of cds it has

slate arrow
#

Savage weapons and the current tomestone weapon are better than the relic 90% of the expansion

leaden ginkgo
#

the other says palladin by far

faint flare
#

It doesn't matter

gritty oracle
#

How fast do fishing boats usually fill up?

Meta Jobs FAQ
Info

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

faint flare

Tanks have roughly the same amount of defensive capabilities

leaden ginkgo
#

i’m trying to tell them that all tanks are good

#

exactly

reef reef
#

i see

faint flare
#

Paladin has a few more cooldowns that help others

whole wasp
#

This tier for example. Best weapon is 505 ilvl from raid. Next best without raiding is the relic weapon/crafted weapon.

faint flare
#

Like passage and cover

whole wasp
#

No wait tomestone is better.

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

leaden ginkgo
#

would you say that paladin is more party oriented while gnb is selfish like samurai ?

slate arrow
#

no

whole wasp
#

Kinda a weird tier this patch.

refer to this

faint flare
#

Every tank has a way to support others

slate arrow
#

It doesn't matter as long as they're doing their job

faint flare
#

Paladins have a tiny bit more

#

Very slightly

leaden ginkgo
#

i don’t watch jojo but that hurt lol

slate arrow
#

That's not jojo

leaden ginkgo
#

don’t kill me

reef reef
#

do we have a faq for all currencies ?

slate arrow
#

no, the important ones are gil and tomestones

#

everything else is just "optional but nice to have"

reef reef
#

tomestones = poetic or verity ?

twilit arch
#

verity doesn't exist anymore

dusky echo
#

poetic and allegory

faint flare
#

Phastmagoria or allegory

leaden ginkgo
#

ok well i’m gonna pick up gnb

faint flare
#

And poetics

reef reef
#

what are the diff?

whole wasp
#

Poetics are mostly for catchup gear from old patch

twilit arch
#

poetics are for 50/60/70 related content, and phantasmagoria and allegory are the 80 tomestone

faint flare
#

Phastmagoria is new verity

#

In a sense

reef reef
#

ok!!!

faint flare
#

Allegory is new mendacity

twilit arch
#

phanta is not capped, so you can farm it to your hearts content, whereas allegory is the weekly capped tomestone

faint flare
#

If i remember my tomes

reef reef
#

do you earn them the same way

slate arrow
#

Poetics are simply catch-up, this patch is the odd one out since you can use poetics to buy a current weapon

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Do lv80 content

#

For current tomes

#

Old content gives poetics

#

Explicitly old level cap content

reef reef
#

wait what is Phastmagoria

faint flare
#

New verity

reef reef
#

so we have Phastmagoria/ poetics and allegory?

faint flare
#

The uncapped tome of this patch

slate arrow
#

Phanta are not poetics

faint flare
#

There's always 3 different types of tomestones

slate arrow
#

poetics are not phanta

remote lintel
#

poetics are for everything below 80

reef reef
#

so 3 tomestones total

remote lintel
#

phanta and allegory are 80

#

they're all called tomestones

#

they're not all called poetics

reef reef
#

poetics is for catching up

remote lintel

yes

faint flare
#

And for relics occasionally

reef reef
#

whats the diff between phanta and allegory?

remote lintel
#

give diff gear

faint flare
#

You can farm Phantasmagora endlessly

remote lintel
#

phanta is 460 gear and allegory is 490

faint flare
#

Allegory is capped to 450 a week

reef reef
#

ok so its like working your way up

#

from poetics and phanta while you cap allegory for best gears?

remote lintel
#

you don't use poetics at lvl 80

reef reef
#

right right

remote lintel
#

you actually can't get poetics from roulettes at 80

reef reef
#

but like when i come back

remote lintel
#

yeah

reef reef
#

as a lv60

#

cool cool thank you guys!!

faint flare
#

You'll be using poetic gear at 60 and 70

remote lintel
#

^

faint flare
#

And have gear from story/dungeons inbetween

remote lintel
#

you won't get allegory tomes until you're 80

#

so you can't like save them up as you level

faint flare
#

Poetic gear lasts you for 3-5 levrls

reef reef
#

do i really have to spend the poetics though?

faint flare
#

No

slate arrow
#

it's recommended you do

reef reef
#

couldnt i just rush the main story

faint flare
#

It helos

dusky echo
#

you really want to though

reef reef
#

and usually they give alright gear

remote lintel
#

you could rush it

reef reef
#

ok

faint flare
#

Story gives yoy the bare minimum

reef reef
#

oh

#

lol

dusky echo
#

well, are you a useful class or a dps

reef reef
#

LOL

#

drk

dusky echo
#

get tomestone gear

faint flare
#

You get a big power spike at 60/70 with poetic gear

remote lintel
#

I mean you would be getting poetics passively so exchanging them would take like 5 mins

reef reef
#

so if i get like high end poetic gear @60 and they would still be a better gear than story gear @ like 70?

faint flare
#

In dps and defence

remote lintel
#

no

dusky echo
#

poetics gear will be out anything 60-65 / 70-74 ish

#

by far

faint flare
#

Lv60 poetics lasts until 63, 65 if upgraded

#

Same for 70

strong sphinx
#

wait, so I am currently ilvl400 and i never bothered with materia, should I actually look into that?

dusky echo
#

are you doing raids or 80 dungeons

remote lintel
#

get better gear first

dusky echo
#

or crafting

faint flare
#

When you get i480 probably

strong sphinx
#

yap both

remote lintel
#

not worth to waste materia on 400 imo

faint flare
#

You can throw tier 6s

reef reef
#

cant i like get to 65 in like a few main quest ?

#

lol

dusky echo
#

no?

#

it does take a bit

remote lintel
#

what

reef reef
#

o

faint flare
#

Due to tier 6 materia has guaranteed retrieval rate

reef reef
#

guess i cant go cheap on poetics then

faint flare
#

If you really wanna meld

dusky echo
#

why would you bother saving them? they cap out and it's great exp
