For the daily dungeons
pre-50 he only has one or two i think yeah
pre 50 only has leveling and guildhests
at 50, Sidoh, you'll unlock more daily roulettes
and the PVP daily challenge
Gotcha
I should reiterate - you'll unlock more roulettes as you unlock more content like alliance raids trials etc which are 50+
Sweet sounds good! Ty
!faq contentunlock
incase you need some references np
Wishing MSQ wasn't so long >.< Outlevelling it is painful
they're nerfing ARR as of next patch by 13% but yeah it gets better dw the story's good
no 13% of all of them
2.0 to 2.55
ahhh
which is about 40 quests or so being axed completely
lots of filler removed etc
and a lot more being adjusted
^^
not yet
Can finally move on to SB. Any ideas if exp will just accumulate and be gained after unlocking SB? or will it just go to waste?
Is there any incentive to solo clear PoTD/HoH like extra exp or is it just for fun?
the night pegasus whistle can drop from the higher floors, lots of money
furnishing items etc
and a title
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
the title
only an achievement
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
yeah
@stray wasp if you dont have shb, then any exp you'd earn now goes poof
FFXIV feels like itd be the perfect game for WoW's Mythic + mechanic
On the flipside. WoW doesn't have ultimate raiding
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
having experianced the pvp players that wow brought in. no thank you.
but we're getting offtopic. we should talk about this in #general-discussion
Odin spawns every 72h?
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

with the echo buff its not that bad
the potions you can buy from the vendor also help
And how long does one full relic take?
first one: however long it takes you to get to max level
subsequent ones are significantly faster
How long does max take?
Which healer job is best for someone who normally play’s dps
Easy to learn and simple rotations
WHM is very simplistic as a healer with how straightforward their kit is.
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?
They're also the most Mana Efficient of the 3 healer classes which gives more room for error.
patron diety doesn't matter.
Ok yeah thought so
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
Ok thx
btw where do i look for a static, but not joining the fc if tht makes sense
Ok thanks
I guess it should have been obvious White Mage would be the most iconic healer
Just to confirm when I level summoner I level scholar as well correct?
Yes
yes
Ok thx
Yes but still need to do seperate job quests
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?
Content is done across the data center
Can world visit on any datacenter, so aether/primal/crystal
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
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
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
Oh yeah, no. Dont need to visit to run content with others on same dc..its auto unless you intentionally avoid
Yeah by default everything is cross world for grouping
Ah okay, so i dont even need to visit to see the PF. That makes things simpler.
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 ??
The option to limit it is there but...no sense typically
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
"This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired" anyone got any ideas ?
screenshot your mogstation page?
Did you pay for a sub?
It'd give more info than that
Or just buy the game..trial stops being trial when you buy the game
wait i thought if i buy the game then thats it
This is a sub based game
getting the base game gives you 30 days though
o7

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?
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
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
and yeah it runs out after 90 days or when your server stops being preferred, whatever happens last
Ah
Usually 90 days lasts longer tbh
Thats even better than i thought then
also
Ffxiv allows you to play any class on one toon and buffs are multiplicative
Exp buffs included
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
Yeah i know about that, the game isnt new to me, ive just been gone for a couple years
Oh right
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
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
Server status wont change until 5.3 at the least, i believe.
anyone still gt the album of the relic weapons?
double xp from all sources and double any xp increasing effects is no joke
the 5.2 relics
Even then if your server loses preferred, you keep it for 90 days but Cal already said all that oop
This good Refia? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdkEQhl2-tI
It's not what you wanted but it's close enough
A short overview on all Relic Weapons, that Patch 5.25 brought.
They are easily acquired by the quest and for each additional, you only need to spend 1.000 Poetics.
I will keep you updated about anything, regarding Patch 5.25, so stick around !
Livestreams will take place, a...
Out of curiosity - what did you mean by "double any exp increasing effects"?
I couldn't find the album

Ah, right. Okay that sensible.
Yep...buy a stack of boiled eggs and eat them as you level
armoury xp I believe is effected, FC buffs, food, any preorder items, any RAF items, etc, etc
Hall of the novice for that ring
You could probably if you had everything hit something stupid like +600%
good enough cal
Alright. Very helpful info, that definitely will make this less of a grating choice.
Idk if you remember the story but try to enjoy it.. you >will out level msq but dont feel rushed
I mostly remember it but it'll be nice to do it again
where do I go to look at hunts I've accepted? (not hunting log)
Yea
oh yep I see it
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?
so long as you've unlocked the Hunt, you'll be able to pick up the unlock quest for heavensward hunts
ok I guess I need to wait until I can get into ishgard?
yes
hey guys where can i find chocobo race challenges? i dont find any, im kinda new to this but its a lot of fun
^^
If I were to unlock one and only one crafting job, to unlock matera use, which should it be
just to meld it? probably Culinarian since they don't rely on other crafting classes for materials
thx wynne ill look
not really, fish aren't a common crafting material
You mainly just need Botanist and a bit of miner
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
the duty finder is datacenter-wide, so server choice in terms of queue times doesn't matter
!preferred chaos
!preferred light
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.
ohh gotcha, thanks!!
anyways is there any difference between Light and Chaos? Like one datacenter is like EU east and the other west?
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
Ty so much Wynne 🙂
is there a trick to finding these hunt targets? i've been circling eastern thanalan looking for a Gatling but can't find it
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
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
Here's a map of his spawns
Your hunt bill will also tell you when you get close to him
it'll say smth like "you sense your mark to the northwest"
ive circled the entire map twice but didn't get anything like that 😦
do Hellfire armors look all the same?
ill just try again later
regardless of them having diff names?
https://xivstyle.com/combat/currency/level60-240/ you can check how they look here
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?
pankratiast's stuff.
ty
be sure to get a spare unaugmented ring too once you have an augmented ring.
Quick question can you mail things cross server? Like gil for example
Nope, can only mail to people on your server
but you can directly trade with people on other servers
With the world visit?
yep
So within the datacenter you can get Gil around not cross datacenter interesting thank you
Hey i'm looking into RDM and SAM which has better dps at 80 ?
!faq meta @prime kite
hi guys i downloading game in proccess i can resume download if internet disconect
Im NOT after meta
SAM is going to do more dps than RDM
Really even at 80 ?
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
I would say RDM more chilled than SAM cause you always be busy
Oh really why that ?
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
they're in queue for duty finder stuff
ah
Is attempting Edens verse savage through duty finder a dumb idea?
EU/NA does not use duty finder for extremes or savage
you should use party finder to find or make a group for it
Hello
I'm in a duty finder que for resurrection savage as we speak
not much at all tbh
So if I wanted to have fun and relaxing gameplay to 80 Red Mage would be way to go ?
Correct
I'm still lvl 46
yeah kinda, rdm is a pretty easy job to get into
And I kinda forgot how to play
Thank you ❤️
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
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.

If anyone is trying to run praetorium or aurum vale for mog tomes I'm always available to help out!
Hi everyone, is there any rotation or something for WHM ? 🤔 or you spam heal skills and if you have time do dps as well ?
Can I have a guide for GNB?
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
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?
How do I set myself to GNB?
My second bar is usually my AoE and other important stuff on DPS
Do the quest in new gridina after hitting lv60
Then equip weapon
They probably meant how to do that in the Balance discord
Nobody controller player I guess lol
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
Then just press the gnb emote in role selection
I'll check with FC
Few controller players there
That doesn't even count as going back
Aka the double tap triggers
It is undoing WXHB overlay
If you want to class it as that
Any ability I use it goes back
Just R1
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)
Stuffed highlander cabbage
Sweet been using that on DRG so okay im good
Most jobs use it unless they need the extra speed to hit a specific gcd tier
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.
so if I wanted to play ff14 today i'd have to pay like 80$
If you already brought the game then all you.need to buy is Shadowbringers

Shadowbringers gives you all expansions
are you sure about that?
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
so why the complete edition then
For new people
for new players who want everything in one fell swoop
The complete edition gives the base game AND all expansions
you still need the base game
Shadowbringers gives only expansions and not base game
which I still own the base game, took me a min to dig it up
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
so how's the game in 2020/
on NA?
I saw the store and some level boost and stuff. It's not pay to win is it
No
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
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.
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
Where to get Shivas diamond dust emote?
But that's the nature of dps
That emote is exclusive to a expensive statue
@forest lark buy a physical figurine
^
which yeah I don't think is currently available
Shame
More people are going to go to dos cause they dont want the responsibility of keeping the party alive
I wanted it too, then learned that even if I was willing to shell out that much money, I couldn't get it :S
this is my old class sheet lol
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
Can we own houses on multiple accounts on the same world?
No free transfers sadly
You cannot own multiple personal homes on a single world, no
No free transfer but if you're on the same data centre you can visit their world
On multiple accounts yes naturally. On multiple characters on the same account, no.
The last of those happened a while back
You can, however, own a personal house and an FC house.
So i'm done with the Stormblood main quest line, lvl 73 and want to start shadowbringers. Where do i do that?
Keep doing the story
Keep following the maon story
You need to finish post stormblood story
The main story is linear.
If you own the Shadowbringers expansion, then continue doing MSQ 
Should be a next quest thing on your hud somewhere
how much is the server transfer?
Ahh. There is so much traveling around all i was wondering if i was doing the wrong quest
Thanks
Eh no kore than 20$ i think? Could be wrong
As long as the quests you're doing have the
icon, you're on the right track @finite gorge
Transfers are $18 USD
I was close lol
Good to know :) Ty
do i lose any items or gear or progress transferring servers
No
It can take a short while if you change DC too, but it is almost always done in an hour.
Isn’t there free server transfers out of congested worlds!
But you'll need to leave your FC if you're still in one
There's no congested servers
there are no congested worlds
Currently
at the moment so thats kind of moot
but its specifically from a congested world to a preferred server
Only to preferred or new ones from congested.
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
Drops from The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)
Aka the weapon refrain Ultimate
aka UwU
Unlocked by clearing Omega 8 Savage
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.
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.
!iglam deathbringer
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?
Quite a bit more attainable.
There are plenty of nice subdued pieces.
There is a wide variety of equipment in this game.
There's also glamour, for when you don't like how your gear looks.
So I should hold off on buying expensive ones for now? Like, from the board?
If you just want them for the appearance, then you do you.
but new players who spend a lot of money early on often end up regretting it
MIRAPRI SNAP(ミラプリスナップ)はFF14(ファイナルファンタジー14)のミラージュプリズムのシステムを利用したスクリーンショット投稿サイトです。自慢のおしゃれコーディネートを共有したり、お気に入りのミラプリを見つけられるかも。
These are two sites where people upload their outfit screenshots
Basically, it depends a lot on what your goal is.
https://xivstyle.com/ this has an easy-to-navigate image database of a lot of gear in the game, but it's not updated to post-Shadowbringers-release stuff.
All right, thanks 🙂
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.
is up to date on gear, and is pretty straight forward to navigate
just make sure to change to english in the upper right hand corner
Once i hit 50 if im not caught up on MSQ. Is it worth to buy gear with poetics?
Yes. The irinworks gear is the best you'll get for a good while post 50 too
is there much point in ranking up past second lieutenant which unlocks hunts? that's the last major unlock for GCs right?
The later ranks also unlock more items in the shop, some emotes and stuff
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.
^
oh ok
60 shire
Sounds good
shire gear lasts till ~65
70 is scaevan
Still pretty fast with all the xp boosts I'd assume
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
Nice
Guys, a heart icon in the market board means that the item is being bought often, yes?
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
And that’s available in the market board?
yes
All right thanks :>
So i just finished lvl 30 conjurer and have the quest for the white mage what do you do as a whit mage
Literally the same as conjuerer
Jobs are just advanced classes that contain the rest of your kit
well do you like gunswords? or do you like huge swords
Both are good tanks, my preference is gnb. I recommend trying both to see which fits your play style, or you like the feel of better

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?
@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.
Was it the starter edition for free or just the free trial to 35 tho?
Starter
I thought the free trial up to 35 was free on PSN
Starter Edition was free for PS4.
Ps4 had the starter edition for free for like 4 days
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

Speedy way to grind a tank?
Ooof
The state of play sale starts tomorrow
gotta do rolequests baby
The state of play sale starts tomorrow
@faint flare
Il keep an eye the.
Run your roulettes and dungeons @hasty spade
Listed in there so
Just wait for the sale to hit
Do i need to finish story to be able to take the quest for DRK class?
You need to reach Heavensward in order to unlock DRK, MCH, and AST.
Aight thanks!!
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?
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.
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.
at what rank are these available?
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.
thanks that cleared up a lot, also I heard about materia, should i consider that?
materia doesnt matter unless you're doing crafting or are 80
Materia only really matter at max level, and then really only if you're planning to do high-level endgame content.
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.
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?
Unless you want to keep them for your personal glamour use, yes. Pretty much.
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?
alright, alrdy sorted out everyxting for glamour purposes so thats good
Either Conjurer or Thaumaturge.
Well yes, those are the only two available at the beginning no?
There's also Arcanist
summoner can get deleted thanks
I don't really recommend that for a beginner though
Conjurer is a healer though right?
what
CNJ is a healer, yes.
I want to avoid healer and tank for them
Yes
healing is way easy in ffxiv
Then I would recommend Thaumaturge/Black Mage.
It's a pretty easy class to pick up the basics of.
Yes, but I rather they didn't have to shoulder the responsibility of healing people and keeping people alive.
If you aim low you'll never go high :p
It's easier to tell when a tank or healer does bad anyway because of how their role impacts the group.
Honestly CNJ is a pretty easy healer all the way to 80 WHM
Ya because WHM is best
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? 🤔
BLOOD for the BLOOD LILY
WHM has the strongest pure healing. AST is best from a support standpoint.
only did sch and whm, haven't even unlocked AST yet 🙃
WHM is so boring
That's subjective, and we're getting off topic
thanks for the viruses
You eventually end uo dpsing most the time
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.
So between RDM and MCH which more stronger ?
Yes
Yes

are all dyes available through mb?
think so but I'd hold off on buying them for a bit
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
can anyone help me with installing the ACT? i can't remember how to do it from years ago when i played
wait I finished HW but not sure if I unlocked the firmanent
sec
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!
As a new player is it worth trying to level DOH as you level or just wait till lvl cap?
if I dye something will it be safed with the glmaour presets?
ok so unless you 100% do restoration, you'll want to wait till you hit 80 and unlocked all the fast travel
Doesn’t really provide significant benefits while you’re leveling so I’d recommend prioritising your main job and MSQ
Okay thx
However getting into it earlier is totally fine
the only "benefit" you can get is being able to overmeld when you hit 80
Waiting until you hit 80 is really not necessary
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.
you wont be crafting neo-ishgard stuff for a while but there's all sorts of small markets to get into
They can be pretty much soloed at 80
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
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.
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
@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.
ty guys
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.
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!
1.nope
2.Archer, unless you really need extra heals
3.yes, but it's hard since you don't have access to higher level missions
4. Nope
are there any page to view all available minions?
40-50 looks fine
But 32-40 looks rough
Even with road to 70
Might be better queuing 35-41
Cool thanks
Why is Rivalwings map Astragalos disabled?
I feel stupid, but can't find locations for Unhidden leather maps online. Any ideas?
so it is. Ta.
aren't there supposed to be more houses past 30? Where do I go?
@nova umbra Use a teleport crystal to a "subdevision" area
how much gil can i carry with me when i do a server transfer ?
interact with one of the aethernet shards to go to the subdivision
It's the same map but tilted with more houses
no way to manually walk there?
The 31-60
if i transer back to the original server do i get my old FL back or its gone when i transfer for good?
FL?
fairly certain your friend's list is wiped when you transfer
i can certainly note that if you transfer, you 404 on everyone on your FL's list

what's this lock thing mean?
oh right, a quest objective for another class
how come sometimes this logo comes up?
but most of the time it doesn't
does it mean anything?
It's part of the Maiden's Rhapsody event
oh shit that reminds me I should go do that
Oh and on a related note, is there a way to shut off the fate music that auto starts whenever you walk through a fate?
interested to know that too... I'm pretty over it
I hate jamming out on my mount's music only for it to be interrupted for 2 seconds while fate music plays
oh I turn off the mount music as well
How you gonna turn off mount music when it has music like Shiva's Theme Oblivion?
I dunno I just got sick of the chocobo music lol
lol fair
if you want to talk about warcrimes in mount music, check out ffxi's
it force overrides all zone music with some godawful flute nonsense

the single most used addon in ffxi now is the mount muter
Please keep off topic stuff to the appropriate channels
and people abusing them
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.
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
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
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
Without any disrespect - this game is playable on console, you can play it casual-like
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
So I got a cascadier uniform voucher but it only shows an exchange for female attire, is there one for males that I missed?
It's the black summer top and black summer trunks
Ahh ok
They should be right under or above the female set
Looks like a shirt thats too small lol
y can't i upgrade my potd weapon?
Have you cleared floor 100
@sweet leaf you can choose any server but I recommend choosing one that is 'preferred', these servers give you 100% bonus exp for 90 days, making the entire run up to level 80 SO much faster
ooooh
@sweet leaf Check your pms.
any good method to farm crystal sands for HW relic?
Thanks for the replies 😄
im new to desynth
what items should i desynth
okay thank you!
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?
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
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
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
As a tank your main stat is technically vitality
With my marauder i outlevel my content so much, it doesnt matter, now without gear at every single step of the msq i need to look more around .
I'd offer to help with gear but datacenter shenanigans

but yeah just keep your gear up to date and do you job quests
speaking of which, you should be a warrior by now
Thanks for the offer, but i reached the magical level 35, can now farm the event tomestones without wasting "xp" on a lv65. And yeah i do the quest. Road to 70 helps me outlevel the content and equipment 🙂
how rare ppl q for 61-100 in potd

yeah most people just spam 51-60 for levels
gg probably not getting any pt til the next peak hrs
You're better off throwing up a PF if you're trying to get to floor 100
if you wanna go to 100, you should do PF
yea
Once you get to floor 70 OHKO risk increases exponentially
so do expect to wipe a lot
probably not at this timing too
Definitely go party finder. Plenty of people still looking for the title/gold sacks, you're just not going to randomly run into them.
so if I'm trying to get a house and there are other people there using autoclickers and bots... is it pretty much impossible for me to get it?
help
go to questnpc, what does the red text say?
He says he cant make the thing until he gets a hammr
Buy a hammer from a merchant at the camp
Ruby EX doesn't have any tank mechanics that I need to TBN if I'm OT right?
Only in phase 2
Like Citius
you can just TBN the main tank
What camp vinyl?
Drybone
Camp drybone?
Where the aetheryte is
Cus i dont see a merchant
So I can just spam EoD once I get MP all through p1?
A merchant inside the buildings sells tools
Wait i see a thing wait
can you buy glamour prism with gil anywhere?
buy them off the market
Probably seals yup
Oh and dont try to craft them. The materials are more expensive than the final product.
oh I dont wanna sell them I wanna use them
Buy from seals for 200 seals per
Its trades in the base gear.
Gear that was used to glamour another piece is not affected in any way.
is restoring an item from the dresser free?
The piece you glamour isn't affected because glamour is just an illusion
Yes but putting it back in takes another prism.
@nova umbra all you can do is click alongside 'em or give in i'm afraid
😦
glamour doesnt affect the amount of seals it turns in for
how many seals you get from the item is based on the itemself
unrelated - why can I not reacquire the AST welkin set from calamity salvager?
because the lv60 AF set was tomestone gear
Really? whoops. cheers
why does it give me this warning about the armoire? it doesn't do this for some other gear
Because it can be placed in it
most other items cannot
So when I wipe on Ruby phase 2, do I go back to 1
Very few items can so it makes it a point to let you know
Armoire is a special chest mostly for event items.
gah. hope i have enough seals then
oh right
@crimson wind no you stay at 2
but you cant use the armoire for glamour right
You can
But you access it through the glamour dresser
oh
Most wipe immediately when they phase 2 to reset CDs
its an option when you're creating a plate
Phase 2 also has a separate LB too?
wait is housing demolition still suspended?
Yup. LB resets as per usual with boss that has a boss gate
yes
Phase 2 resets LB when reaching it
Like kefka, omega etc.
dang, well I feel dumb for going around trying to find a house for sale lol
they have made no announcement yet in regards to demolish being reinstated
So should I expect lb3 in p1?
Yes
Ok
No
Yea. Its "free" anyway
Depending on how bad the group is
If you're good you'll get LB2 as he skips half the fight
Considering I'm doing a prog group, I'm going to hit lb3
I've never seen lb 3 In p1 and I've been in some garbage groups
Your group might decide to save for heal LB3 if struggling too.
I've seen it rarely
Is it even possible? I know p2 has a bunch of lb generation for doing mechs
If you're basically hitting the natural enrage and doing the stuff to generate the extra Lb like critical healing and stuff
@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.
can FCs be cross server?
no
damn
If you queue up for dungeons, its cross world, but not cross data center correct?
Correct.
All servers inside crystal can queue together. But servers in crystal and servers in aether cannot queue together.
Thanks!
what can one do with 100 mil gil besides housing right bow?
Buy all the things
nothing
Glamour i guess.
The only true gil sink in the game is teleportation fees and housing.
Is a bad idea ti swap class at lvl 20? I started as Gladiator but i feel tanking is not for me
nah
Swap whenever you want
I may have a complicated questions as I am considering to return to this game so sorry in advance.
Getting back to 20 is easy
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?
Whats the best dps melee for low lvl?
guys whats the best way to level gatherers and crafter now? spam diadem?
is there a complete list of the potd/hoh loot table anywhere?
How low level? 50
@wicked badger leves for gatherers, leves and ishgard for crafters
Leves is still the most efficient but expensive. Diadem is pretty good otherwise.
dont worry about the best, no matter what you choose under 50 it'll be pretty basic
Remember daily GC turn ins
A parse is a log of DPS numbers
@faint flare even for fisher?
Maybe monk since they share gear. Otherwise dragoon is okay too.
wow
Got a cool new monitor. Entered my first quest cutscene and it looks likes this. Anyway to remove the black bars on the side?
Fisher has bonus of the ocean fishing every 2 hours for like 3+ levels
@faint flare so leves got buffed ? im back to the game after 8 months btw
Everything got buffed.
leves have always been the best way to level crafting/gathering
Leve still king.
but yes they did get buff in 5.1
ah ok ty!
diadem is good if you want to be lazy/are going to level your crafters via restoration
@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
does relic weapon quest restart every expansion?
as in, if i never had a relic weapon, i dont have to go thru the previous ones?
yes
relics are intended to be grinds
the alternative is grinding out savage or waiting 4 to 8 weeks for a weapon
and relics are always the absolute best gear u can get?
Basically those who are good players raid. Those who are not so good players or just wanna chill grind instead.
i see
not until x.5 or so
Relics are only the best at the end of an expansion
Otherwise they are usually the 2nd best.
would u explain that
i’m reading these two guys argue over which tank is the best
Otherwise they are usually the 2nd best.
@whole wasp
one guy is saying that gnb is better at main tanking in raids due to the amount of cds it has
Savage weapons and the current tomestone weapon are better than the relic 90% of the expansion
the other says palladin by far
It doesn't matter
How fast do fishing boats usually fill up?
Who is MT
!faq meta
Tanks have roughly the same amount of defensive capabilities
i see
Paladin has a few more cooldowns that help others
This tier for example. Best weapon is 505 ilvl from raid. Next best without raiding is the relic weapon/crafted weapon.
Like passage and cover
would you say that paladin is more party oriented while gnb is selfish like samurai ?
no
Kinda a weird tier this patch.
!faq meta
refer to this
Every tank has a way to support others
It doesn't matter as long as they're doing their job
i don’t watch jojo but that hurt lol
That's not jojo
don’t kill me
do we have a faq for all currencies ?
no, the important ones are gil and tomestones
everything else is just "optional but nice to have"
tomestones = poetic or verity ?
verity doesn't exist anymore
poetic and allegory
Phastmagoria or allegory
ok well i’m gonna pick up gnb
And poetics
what are the diff?
Poetics are mostly for catchup gear from old patch
poetics are for 50/60/70 related content, and phantasmagoria and allegory are the 80 tomestone
ok!!!
Allegory is new mendacity
phanta is not capped, so you can farm it to your hearts content, whereas allegory is the weekly capped tomestone
If i remember my tomes
do you earn them the same way
Poetics are simply catch-up, this patch is the odd one out since you can use poetics to buy a current weapon
Yes
Do lv80 content
For current tomes
Old content gives poetics
Explicitly old level cap content
wait what is Phastmagoria
New verity
so we have Phastmagoria/ poetics and allegory?
The uncapped tome of this patch
Phanta are not poetics
There's always 3 different types of tomestones
poetics are not phanta
poetics are for everything below 80
so 3 tomestones total
phanta and allegory are 80
they're all called tomestones
they're not all called poetics
poetics is for catching up

yes
And for relics occasionally
whats the diff between phanta and allegory?
give diff gear
You can farm Phantasmagora endlessly
phanta is 460 gear and allegory is 490
Allegory is capped to 450 a week
ok so its like working your way up
from poetics and phanta while you cap allegory for best gears?
you don't use poetics at lvl 80
right right
you actually can't get poetics from roulettes at 80
but like when i come back
yeah
You'll be using poetic gear at 60 and 70
^
And have gear from story/dungeons inbetween
you won't get allegory tomes until you're 80
so you can't like save them up as you level
Poetic gear lasts you for 3-5 levrls
do i really have to spend the poetics though?
No
it's recommended you do
couldnt i just rush the main story
It helos
you really want to though
and usually they give alright gear
you could rush it
ok
Story gives yoy the bare minimum
well, are you a useful class or a dps
get tomestone gear
You get a big power spike at 60/70 with poetic gear
I mean you would be getting poetics passively so exchanging them would take like 5 mins
so if i get like high end poetic gear @60 and they would still be a better gear than story gear @ like 70?
In dps and defence
no
wait, so I am currently ilvl400 and i never bothered with materia, should I actually look into that?
are you doing raids or 80 dungeons
get better gear first
or crafting
When you get i480 probably
yap both
not worth to waste materia on 400 imo
You can throw tier 6s
what
o
Due to tier 6 materia has guaranteed retrieval rate
guess i cant go cheap on poetics then
If you really wanna meld
why would you bother saving them? they cap out and it's great exp
