Newcomer here: I'm a little confused on the free trial / starter stuff (and reddit search is being wonky)
If I'm on PS4 and I just wanna give FF14 a whirl and get my feet wet, what should I be doing
faint flare
They massively buffed xp from company turn ins
jade quartz
Free Trial
You can level all the A Realm Reborn jobs up to 35, and there's no time limit.
faint flare
Diadem is somewhat meh but it does give mats for the ishgard restoration receipes so you get 2 birds in 1 stone
Just pop food and survival manuals
jade quartz
If you like it you can buy Starter Edition
tight yarrow
and how do I activate that? on PS4 or do I go on the website
jade quartz
if you really like it you can buy Complete Edition
Should be able to find it on PSN store
but I don't own a PS4 so I don't know details
tight yarrow
hmm ok let me try it
I just don't want to accidentally lock myself out of a trial by creating an account the wrong way or something
faint flare
Should just be able to download trial on psn and follow the instructions for the most part
It would probably prompt you to make a SE/Mogstation account so it has something to link to
jade quartz
The only way you'll lock yourself out of the trial is if you just go ahead and buy the game.
tight yarrow
cool stuff, thanks

@midnight slate should i focus on one more than the other?

Gunbreaker meld priority:
Comfy SkS > Crit > DHit
Gunbreaker is very versatile and can be played at a lot of GCD tiers. Choose one that's right for you and meld appropriately.
Fyi BiS runs anywhere from 2.40s to 2.45s gcd
If you cant meld crit in your gear, meld dh
If you cant meld either you do det

I got stuck all of a sudden at Drybone between quests. Can't move and if I try to exit it says unable to execute command while occupied. Any idea?

No. People are walking around and leveling up around me
faint cloud

Force close the game with Task Manager and relog
jade quartz
Yeah that's bizarre. Just forcequit.
faint cloud
I don't know if it's a coincidence but all those other players around me are frozen too
faint flare
If they're frozen then its a lag spike
Its probably trying to process you into the cutscene/dialogue but the lag is delaying it so you're in the dialogue but you're not
faint cloud
Yes
I can move the camera and access menus
But yes, what you said
Ok. I exited and came back, back in business. Thanks all.

prime kite
So for 60 summoner what rotation for levelling to 70+ ?(one bar for ST/DOT and another is for AOE) ?
warped nest
What bar?
crystal shoal
hey what are you guys doing in game rn
warped nest
Your level 60 Dreadwyrm Trance is good for both single target and AOE
faint flare
Since you have dreadwyrm you more or less can follow the cycles you do at 80 with the same dot timings
Just remove bahamut from it
prime kite
I meant to make rotation cause I heard there was a crazy summoner clicked every skills to 80 and cleared all content
warped nest
Oh, hotbar
prime kite
Yes
warped nest
Summoner has more skills, but they have surprisingly low button count
Because a lot of skills changes into new one mid combat once certain conditions are fulfilled
faint flare
Outside of bahamut, skills shift places
vagrant scaffold
Is there a way to know where my job quests are?
faint flare
To let egi assaults and ruin 4 line up with weaving and movement
prime kite
One for DOTS and one for damage
vagrant scaffold
I thought that was a subtitle for some reason
faint flare
warped nest
Not your fault
It is just yeah, not very good design
It is helpful, but as you said, it doesn't look like a job quest
It would if they put your job icon next to it
vagrant scaffold
Eesh that's embarassing. I was wondering why I wasn't getting Assize or Tetragammon >> I kept thinking I would get a popup for the job quest or something and then thought to check my actions ><
warped nest
One for DOTS and one for damage
@prime kite imo, not necessary
They are one and the same
If you need some pointers on arranging them, I can tell you that you want to put bio/miasma far away, you want to keep Tri-Disaster close by
Off the top of my head, eventually, you use bio+Miasma once for every 4-5 Tri-Disaster

Hello, I've asked this question like a day ago or 2 days ago and someone answered and I forgot what was his/her answer to my question. Regarding which is the last dungeon in HW? Is Baelsar's Wall? It was about which quest or dungeon to play last before watching Stormblood trailer to prevent any spoiler.
faint flare
Baelsar wall is the last dungeon of heavensward
wind kindle
So I was right in trying to remember it, eh? I guess after this, time to watch the trailer. Thanks, again, @faint flare .
vagrant scaffold
Do y'all have any advice for how to set up my action bars?
static terrace
When weaving skills, do I need to wait for the attack animation to complete before using another skill? For example, the DRK's combo is a 2-hit animation. Do I have to wait for the second hit animation before weaving in a skill?
mossy depot
Hey everyone, Im looking to transfer from Primal to another data center. Currently on Exodus and want to know some people's input on where to go. Any ideas?
faint flare
Animations have no baring on when damage goes out, you can freely cancel animations @static terrace
Once the button is pressed/cast is finished, damage is dealt
static terrace
Awesome! Thank you
raw merlin
can anyone help me out?
i dont know how to progress, just wanna get to the next expansion already

excuse me while I go refresh my memory on the stormblood trailer

Okiesss

I can't seem to find it but it sounds like a remix of Kugane's Theme
but Kugane's day theme doesn't have lyrics

So its not a mix?

No. real theme
dry ocean
Ahhh okkok thabksssss
marble drift
no probabbelmemem 😛
warped nest
It is a real theme, remix from other original soundtracks
marble drift
generally anything special is handled by the FFXIV main channel
anything done by the Primals mainly
at live events
thorny otter
this may be a stupid question, but how do I get rid of the sprout icon? Is it just time played I take it?
marble drift
yes but also MSQ progression
I believe there is a text command to switch it off if you want?
/nastatus off I believe?
lemme double check
thorny otter
I'll have to double check after this dungeon but I really appreciate all of the help
marble drift
I think its a 1 time switch
so I wouldn't if you wanted to keep it
never mind. im wrong. its just /nastatus on to bring it back
as long as you meet the requirements for sproutling :3
vestal dagger
Hi! I Just recalled that ingame voice acting is broken on my end. I only had voice acting in the cutscene after you beat 'lurkers in the grotto' and only later realized the game had more, it just wasnt working correctly
I tried messing with settings until it started working. The last options I changed were moving audio from the camera to the player, and turning on windows sonic for headphones, so I don't know exactly what fixed it
That lasted until I closed the game and there were no voices again. I've tried changing the same settings as I did yesterday but no luck
is this a common issue?
I tried looking online for solutions and none of what I read worked
thorny otter
I mean there are a lot of cutscenes that aren't voiced
vestal dagger
yea I know
proper sonnet
it depends really, not everything is voice acted
vestal dagger
I've never even heard my character make a single noise
I don't know if thats an issue or not
marble drift
your character has no voice outside of yells
vestal dagger
yeah
thorny otter
but I've never heard my character make noise
vestal dagger
no yells
marble drift
for making attacks
vestal dagger
and I know not all cutscenes are voiced
wind kindle
hello, is there anyone knowledgeable in the MSQ or cutscenes I can PM? I'm going to ask a question that includes spoilers and I don't want to go to #archived-lore-spoilers for I might even get spoiled myself.
jade quartz
Your character has battle grunts and yells
but they're actually surprisingly easy not to notice
vestal dagger
I got to around level 20 before I figured it was an issue
marble drift
Message me Chicken. I'll handle it
vestal dagger
and only had audio in that one cutscene I mentioned
wind kindle
I don't evne know how to do that

Thank Channy, he was the one who got it right

I managed to track down the player whom Odin took the form of, she was ecstatic when I sent her the screenshots!

kk I think I'll get wolf mount at least before the neckerchief it looks fun
warped nest
Iirc, Odin took the form of the player who dealt the finishing blow right?
rugged flicker
Wouldn't waste your time with the beast tribe mounts, those are easy to get, they just take a lil time.
Yea.
latent bloom
I remommend the bracelet. You can get the mount whenever
warped nest
We recommend the Ixion mount for moogle
frigid sigil
oh ok that easy?
warped nest
Because it is the hardest to farm
latent bloom
Yes
nova whale
I just got to the a relic reborn quest but the weapon is worse than my current one, is it worth doing right away?
little swift
qiqirn earrings are an achievement fate reward
rugged flicker
Yea, one that no one does anymore :x
latent bloom
It will get stronger over time as the quedt progresses.
nova whale
Is it a long grind for it to be good?
rugged flicker
I'd also get Rise of the White Raven orchestration, it's a cool one to have and it typically takes a lot of farming or gil to get.
little swift
its more of a glamour item
latent bloom
^
rugged flicker
I spent the gil on it myself back when I had a lot :x
nova whale
since I’m barely into the astral era msq might be worth?
spare plinth
what's the difference between the healing classes?
rugged flicker
Or rather on the materials to make it.
little swift
relic weapon is glamour
not worht the grind just ot use it
get an Ironwork's weapon with tomesstones of poetics instead
best weapon you can get for ARR but easy to obtain
latent bloom
White mage is best overall healer in terms of raw numbers
little swift
AST is the card slinging buff healer
latent bloom
Scholar is a shield healer with good support skills
little swift
SCH is the shield healer
white mage is about big heals that charge a big damage spell
spare plinth
i heard astrologian is a hard class to master
because you have to know the card combos and which buff
little swift
it can be difficult due to the amount of weaving and rng involved to get stuff out
spare plinth
but i like the outfit
latent bloom
Rn, its the worst due to nerf. But it is still a great class
And even worst is debatable
It just isnt overpowered like before
spare plinth
for magic dps, how come summoner is most popular and black mage the least?
latent bloom
2 reasons. Cool summons, and mobility
marble drift
summoners aren't stuffed by fights that require movement
black mages definately are
latent bloom
BLM is a turret
marble drift
and spoiler. every fight is lots of movement
latent bloom
^
little swift
black mages have more mobility than you think though
frail fulcrum
Let those leg muscles work
latent bloom
BLM is very hard to master nowadays due to lower than average mobility. Red Mage and Scholar dont have to worry ad much. Also yes, BLM can move uf needs be, but they are limited
marble drift
black mage does have a couple repositioning skills thats for sure
dusky echo
scholar mostly takes advantage of spell speed to slidecast
little swift
arguably they are more mobile than rdm
marble drift
summoners rely on thier feet
dusky echo
but sch has 0 mobility skills
little swift
since they access to a bunch of instant casts
marble drift
but its about maximising that time spent turreting
little swift
you can weave with ruin 2 dirk
marble drift
and swooshing across the field last second
spare plinth
so do summoners just let their pet do the thing?
little swift
no
you have to get your pet to cast damage on top of that with
!action egi assault
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
latent bloom
Im only going off dual cast. If you remove that due to those instant cast black mage has, it becomes very comparable
little swift
dualcast forces you to be still every other cast
where as triplecast/swift let oyu move for free
same with sharp procs
little swift
summoner lets you build up pet damage and stuff to summon a bahamut/phoenix
for big amounts of burst
pliant cosmos

the altlvlguide and the lvlguide have the same principles laid out
dusky echo

General question about housing, but do relocations allow you to buy any plot instantly regardless of timer?

yes, if you have the money and the plot is available you can bypass the timer

collectables are a little different
you need to build up the collectability of the item
if you're crafting the item make sure "collectable synthesis" is on

Do the extreme trials for the arr primals always take a really long time? Or have I just gotten unlucky every time I search lol
oak ice
Guildhests are a way to teach you the basics of the game, not really for exp
Na and EU do not do extreme trials and savage raids through the duty finder
In general, every once in a while you will get a group of people, but expect hour long queues
nova whale
Oh fantastic so I have to hope 7 other people are searching at the same time?
proud willow
unlike other trials, they're not in the Trial Roulette
oak ice
Use the party finder on ctrl t
proud willow
they are in Mentor Roulette, but that just means you're going to get 5-7 people who don't know what they're doing plus 1-3 salty Mentors who may or may not know what they're doing
after an hour long wait
and most likely fail, because the majority of EX are no joke if you haven't prepared for them and aren't familiar with how to learn endgame fights
if you put up an unsynced party in Party Finder, people will join within a few minutes, even late at night
worldly ermine
definitely agree with the unsync
if you have a buddy who's at lvl 80 they can even finish the unsycnd trial for you

are tehre timed node mats i should be aware of to be gathering?
eternal sable
My daughter and wife are new (and I'm just returning) - when do they unlock poetics?\
pearl wharf
@cerulean schooner there are a lot of them
little swift
Cardinal, there could be depenss on what youre looking for
cerulean schooner
just mats that will be useful i guess
like i know sandalwood logs and sap are used for facet gear
also ethereal cocoons and the legendary mats
marble drift
@eternal sable level 50
eternal sable
Ah okay thanks
little swift
Etc
pearl wharf
@cerulean schooner well the only way to get legendary mats is if you unlock the special tomes for each expansion
and you need to farm scrips by farming collectables
or doing turn ins from the weeklies
cerulean schooner
I know that
pearl wharf
there are a lot of useful mats but like, are you looking to craft with them or sell them?
pine bluff
if I put gear in the armoire, is it only usable for glamour as a plate? I can't seem to apply it just individually
pine bluff
or in the dresser
marble drift
no to apply it through the option it needs to be on you. dresser items are only available via plate too
signal garnet
Is there a dps that plays kinda similar to how gun breaker does? More specifically the continuation aspect of gnb. I know it’s a weird question lol
marble drift
dancer
but its proc based
they have main skills and then a 2nd set of skills on a proc
signal garnet
Another one? I pretty much have dancer leveled, the proc based stuff was a bit iffy for me since if I didn’t get any I kinda just sat there untill I did
marble drift
cause you're not a hyur male
marble drift
I can't think of anything else that lines up like gunbreaker continuation @signal garnet

Hi guys i have an issue with my ffxiv. i used to play on ps4 but i recently got a pc and bought the game too. but it made me create a new service account under the same square enix id
is it possible to merge the two together because i want to be able to play as my ps4 character on pc
marble drift
not for endgame stuff no. I do however put last expansions materia in my alt classes
just to have them melded with something
so its your call on transmuting or not
twilit arch
or using the mb as storage

who even has that kind of money
marble drift
accessories to my knowledge don't glow
twilit arch
the high allagan accessories kind of glow
rough lance
not really glow that bright.. like proto ultima has a bit of glowing blue
leaden ginkgo
i saw armor that had like lines of light circling it
marble drift
yeah high-allagan stuff. glows red by default too
leaden ginkgo
does that ring any bells ?

When i wanna Equip my Scholar Class Stone it tells me to switch to Aracanist first
But i am on my Arcanist o.o
twilit arch
you need a scholar book to switch
so if the only book you've got is the one given to you via the job boost for smn
mossy tartan
great! I can’t wait for the next update for shadowbringers
How long does it usually take for a MSQ update?
obsidian patio
Normally 3.5 months or so, give or take a week
mossy tartan
And when did the 5.2 patch arrive?
mossy tartan
Fair enough
twilit arch
it was originally going to be released sometime mid june, most likely going to be sometime july/august

life question
zinc orbitBOT
unreal aspen
how hard is ninja at lvl 80?
im struggling with the opener/getting my stuff off during trick when theres a lot of boss mchs to deal with
but my friend says its pretty easy so im trying to figure out if im
rlly bad or not LMAO
unreal aspen
i was just wondering in comparison to other dps
marble drift
the mudra system isn't exactly forgiving
leaden ginkgo
can you max all choco skills trees
marble drift
only 2 trees iirc
tranquil valve
@leaden ginkgo You can max all three.
unreal aspen
bc if this one is easier than most then i am going to only play dancer
leaden ginkgo
ok
marble drift
no I'd say its would be at the tougher end of the dps scale
twilit arch
personally find nin a little too much for me to bother with. i flub mudras a lot
tranquil valve
Once your chocobo gets to rank 10 however, you'll need a Thavnairian Onion each rank.
twilit arch
but for the most part, most dps is about building muscle memory
marble drift
and practice a bunch
twilit arch
so you're not trying to think about what you need to do, you just do it
marble drift
When guides say "Cast Chi then Ten"
im like....what?
cause in my head
its 2 then 1
twilit arch
i would recommend sitting down at a training dummy and just practice for awhile
until you get comfortable with the rotation
unreal aspen
ok sweet back to stone sea sky LOL
marble drift
also check out the balance and stuff for openers
unreal aspen
yeah im doing the opener from the balance
just seem to forget one of my ogcds every single time
warped nest
If I may, you can also memorize the mudra by just remembering the ending mudra and the mudra number needed
For example, Suiton is 3 mudra ending with Jin
For me at least, it sometimes help me recover from a bad first mudra
warped nest
👍
just seem to forget one of my ogcds every single time
@unreal aspen practice practice practice
weak sail
does support usually reply in the same day u put out a ticket?
warped nest
Another advice I have would be using a enlarge hotbar to track your important cooldown
warped nest
You don't need to use the hotbar
weak sail
damn i wanted to be able to play the game today
warped nest
It is there to function like your car's dashboard
You can just glance there and you can see 4-6 of your cooldown
Don't need to zip your eye around your actual combat hotbar to track cooldown
weak sail
and it is possible to have my service accounts merged right
unreal aspen
oh ok ty!
warped nest
So you put your important stuff like Kassatsu, Meisui, your damage over time, Trick Attack etc
marble drift
man I always forget shadowfang D:
warped nest
You still keep them on their current position
You just make duplicates on a huge hotbar as your cooldown dashboard

How do I level from 60-70? I am a returning player coming back to play shadowbringers, and before leaving I did all of the main story quest up to shadowbringers as ninja. However, I want to reroll to summoner to play through shadowbringers. The problem is it seems like I am getting literally negligible exp outside of the daily roulettes (literally less than 1% of a level for levequests). Even completing weekly challenge log stuff is only giving me like 1/10th of a level. Is leveling in this game just time gated behind the daily roulette?
obsidian patio
run dungeons outside of the roulette
marble drift
or use Palace of the Dead.
obsidian patio
highest level ones that aren't level 50/60/70
glad iris
can i run palace of the dead efficiently solo?
wintry chasm
@marble drift not for 60-70
obsidian patio
no
glad iris
do i need to do anything special in there to maximize exp? or just clear floors?
obsidian patio
just gotta clear the floorset
marble drift
alternative option only available to you because you're leveling summoner
go into leveling dungeons
as scholar
10x faster queues
marble drift
you don't get to practice but you can do that with the msq once you're 70
glad iris
thanks for the advise guys!
wintry chasm
Mind you for 60-70 you want to do Heaven on High and not Palace of the Dead
Basically works the same but it's still a different deep dungeon
glad iris
cool, thanks for the help ❤️
wintry chasm
Granted you need to hit level 61 to go into it
leaden ginkgo
So, Should I buy FF XIV after hitting level 35 or is it worth buying before that?
marble drift
Eh only you can tell us how you feel about a game mate
leaden ginkgo
Love it, but I do not want to waste playtime
marble drift
if you want maximum value, yeah go ahead and cap yourself out on the free trial
weary fog
Random (probably dumb) questions, can you trade when you visit other worlds (in particular, minion items)? And are "market prohibited" and "untradeable" separate things?
obsidian patio
yes.
Generally they're on the same items, but there are some exceptions
Notable ones that I can immediately name are the special airship/submarine token materials needed to exchange for Airship/Submarine/Housing recipes in the FC workshop
they're tradeable but can't be put on the marketboard
weary fog
Makes sense, just wanted to double check. Thank you!

Players may accumulate subscription days immediately by redeeming a game time card < If I just bought my complete edition and on my free 30 days, if I insert a 30 days timecard now it will accumulate to 60 days?
marble drift
yes
note that once you put in a subscription you lose the ability to be recruited as part of the Recruit a Friend program
which comes with some freebies
so. if you have a friend who plays. ask for thier code
oblique yew

Dumb question for the limit break bar. Does each person have their own LB bar, or is it shared w/ whole party?

with the delay in 5.3 I'm taking a bit of a small break, but I still try to do my weekly stuff like weekly tomestone cap

i dont play constantly, i stopped my sub after finishing the gunhildr quests, will come back when 5.3 drops

Is there a trailer for this 5.3?
faint flare
No

Not yet

the Rona fucked up alot of production. We got a message saying that its back on track a few weeks ago iirc
but nothing like "it'll be done in 2 weeks" or anything

I think they said virus made a total of 1month delay

5.3 was originally slated for mid june, (16th or 23rd), given the delays, I'd say about 27th july or 3rd aug

Hi all. Nice to find an active community for FFXIV! I am a new starter (21 conjurer) and was wondering if it matters if I level up beyond the MSQ? It is at level 17 but I levelled up so quickly in the dungeons. Should I be doing two classes at once? I don't have the road to 70 buff.
faint flare
The story does eventually catch back up to you
pine bluff
yes, you will level slower over time
faint flare
Some of the pacing quest level wise is weird
pine bluff
but the quest levels won't slow down
faint flare
Like random ass jump of 3 levels
fading drift
Ah ok thanks for the heads up. I will plough on rather than doing two classes at once. I was thinking about doing arcanist so I can try out scholar at 30 and decide if I like it more or less than conjurer
pine bluff
I mean you can play around with other class if you think you might be happier with arcanist
but without the road to 70 buff the msq will outlevel you
so I would just spend time on getting through it with 1 class for now
fading drift
Ok thanks. Will stick at conjurer for now and can always come back for scholar later. I am playing with a friend who hasn't played MMOs before and they are much slower so will probably have a bit of spare time!
pine bluff
one good thing I found about playing 2 classes was that I can use the MSQ to level my DPS class
and use the roulettes to level my tank
but this only works if you have road to 70
marble drift
there are 2 classes you can get at 50 (assuming you have all expansions)
and 2 at 60
if you want something to spillover xp
Red Mage and Samurai at 50
and Dancer and Gunbreaker at 60
prime kite
What jobs has most uptime/dps atm ?
marble drift
uptime? in endgame it would be a ranged class
dps? I swear you asked this yesterday
but I think its summoner right now?
prime kite
I didn't and oh ?
marble drift
yeah goin' off logs it seems to be black mage for some fights, summoner for a little bit more
and the occasional samurai
oblique yew
So the objective of the game is to beat the imperials right?
oblique yew
Is there a way to join them?
marble drift
no
warped nest
Story objective is you solve problems thrown at you
Gameplay objective is to have fun and look cool
hard dragon
I thought the story objective was to nod and punch your fist into your palm

You can always read the Unending Journey in your inn room to review the story summary
It is fine to not pay attention to the story, but most players would say that the story and lore of XIV is one of its biggest selling point
oblique yew
Story is not bad, but the quests are meaningless
But people say that, that's how a mmo is structured
warped nest
There are quite a few "help the local before they entrust you with new info or let you in their sacred temple" deal
