Because I like to see my progress
Do unsynced raids drop chests?
samurai is one of the harder ones to optimize
Guess im just unlucky then
probably black mage too
i have 1.4mill gil is taht within range?
The coffers that bosses have when they die will spawn
Definitely Black Mage
I don't think Samurai is really that hard to optimise
noice 😄 tyvm
samurai has more memorization than blm
Can you only get weapons from the Ruby Weapon fight or armor too?
just weapons
Only weapons
If i buy ffxiv off the site instead of steam, can i still play with steam people in the same server?
cool thanks
I have 2000 allagan tombstones of poetics can I change those into level 70 gear (my current level) or is it only for lvl 50 gear
you can use it for lvl 60 and 70 gear as well
60 gear can be bought in idyllshire, 70 gear in rhaglr's reach
that said though, you need to progress thru the main scenario far enough to be able to interact with the vendors
idyllshire vendors simply require to you have gotten to idyllshire, rhaglr's reach vendors require you to have finished the main scenario quest "Stormblood" to see them
Awesome ty!
Dancer has super great utility right?
3rd umbral moon is the 6th moon, correct?
6th month, yes
items you buy are automatically placed in your inventory/armoury chest
my summoner is on steroids now 😄
my iLvl is 400, should i bother buying gear with sack of nuts?
alright!
It also gives you the ilvl to enter other content like Eden gate normal and Nier raid for better gear
440 is enough for that?
Yes
thats cool! will buy it then, i stocked a lot of it, didnt know what to do with it yet
Nier needs 435 and eden needs 425
are all extremes on the same ilvl?
No
Each extreme needs more ilvl than the last, except of Titana and ||Innocence|| cause they came together
gotcha!
is it possible to obtain this item? im trying to figure out if its become available sicne it was last used in an event 6 years ago https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Black_Dragon_Kabuto
its available for purchase from the mogstation
is it seasonal? i cant find it
its under seasonal (unisex)
so i set sound settings play background system sound on everything else off
ty @twilit arch ❤️
i will get a sound if i can get in dungeon right even tho im in league ?

Are there any Eden weapons from the 5.2 Eden fights?
Yes
There is always one for each tier
E8S
Eden..grace XXXX?
edenchoir
Right
edengrace is from gate
Gdi names
and eden weapons are always only going to be from savage
its the same with alexander and omega
E8N drops tokens which you can spend along with 1000 allegory tomestones for a weaker weapon
But that's really the "tomestone" weapon
Eden armors has 2 variation, normal ver can't be dyed, Savage ver is higher ilvl and can be dyed
make sure you're looking at the levequest's journal entry for the map. leve quests are at the bottom of the quest journal @quiet magnet
Go to the journal menu and scroll down to the leve section
What are the non-savage version of the eden choir armors called?
only leve quest i have is The Law Won
Do that then
edencall
So I just unlocked Scholar. Is there a difference in Eos and Selene aside from appearance. I’m reading the thing it seems they have same abilities.
Same thing
no difference
Thnxs
Is there a way to take off the description of items form showing on the action bar?
@austere vale not to my knowledge tho you can make them smaller
you can disable the action/item tooltips or you can make it so that it appears in a specific spot
rather than showing at your mouse's location
should be somewhere in character config, in the hud section iirc
Yeah use his info, lol I'm on ps4 so can't help with pc stuff
do you get similar xp for the feast as frontlines
Frontline is giving exp again? Thought they turned it off
they didn't remove exp from frontline
they simply made it based on whether you win or lose
what materia is best for summoner
and i don't believe feast gives that great of exp, but i haven't ever tried queueing for it for exp
Crit > DH >= Det > SpS @lilac mulch
Potd is your best choice if your roulette/dungeon queue is crap
If dungeon queue is around 10 minutes faster than POTD, pick dungeon
After 50 everything gets easier but before 50 everything kind of sucks, and these are melee dps, DRG,MNK, NIN the archetype I like the least playing =/
Going for the Amaro mount nonetheless =/
if you have squadrons unlocked, and leveled to 20, you can use them to run dungeons
yeah I have them unlocked I just have never used them so... xD
I guess no go
I guess I can try queueing for Aurum vale and get some mog tomes
but thanks I'll give PotD a try
you can disable the action/item tooltips or you can make it so that it appears in a specific spot
@twilit arch Hey I did some digging regarding removing the text on the toolbars when hovering mouse over action. Character Config > UI Settings > General > Untick 'Display Action Help'
Okay so I bought a license on ps4 and accidentally connected the wrong account from pc on it, is there any way I can change the account?
Call support to unlink your ps4 from whatever account you linked it to
Is the line still up?
Idk...at least contact support via some way, shape or form
Cause only they can unlink it
So
Gotta get in contact with them
Thanks
no info on the patch download thing?
@icy oar try updating internet explorer
The launcher uses internet explorer to download the patches, regardless of your usual browser
All My friends got into famfrit this morning and it closed when I finished and wont open back up lol
as of 15 minutes ago i get the following script erros when i start launcher:
(1)
Line: 0
Char: 0
Error: Script Error.
Code: 0
URL: http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/ft/version_4_0/scripts/lib/utils.js?ver=20180312
(2)
Oops wrong char
Follow this for on how to update it
Chat
@obsidian patio I'm using the steam version would taht be an issue?
Nope
@novel orbit that means you need to check again in a couple hours
Still internet explorer
right now its 5 pst / 8 est so its prime time
so there' a lot of people on
try again later when there's less people on
So I got my level and il high enough to do Rathalos extreme. When I did it synced via duty finder twice we got a gold chest once he died. Ive been doing it unsyced now, and after beating him about 10 times we haven't gotten a chest. Is it rare or do you not get the poogie etc, unsynced? I'm kinda confused
does IE need to be open?
@sage plaza
In reply to the mouseover thing, I found it and it works great btw. Thank you for letting me know
Doesn’t need to be open, just up to date

This is another possible solution I found online, but as I play on PS4 I can’t personally verify if it works
Sometimes FFXIV gets stuck at the fire wall so you’ll have to make it an exception or just disable it while it downloads patch updates
cool thank you
So I am leveling my healer spamming dungeons. I bought 50 Ironworks gear but that got replaced completely in no time by 53 dungeon gear.
Is it worth buying 60 poetics gear, or should I just buy 70 poetics gear in preparation for my healer being in line with my other jobs (71, 72)
Yes cause its a big gear jump and if yoy augment it, it lasts until 65
the jump from 50 -> 51 is huge so I get buying ironworks for that. Is the jump from 60 -> 61 that big as well?
Yes
The jumps are pretty much the same
The job gear from job quest is like i200
Vs shire 260/270
So yeah
Aug Shire owns
Hello I have a question, I play on Faerie and my friend plays in Malboro do I need to move to Crystal in order to play with her?
Yes
Thanks!

Nope
they can't crit either then right?
No

The only buffs that change the damage of it are vulnerability up/down buffs done by mechanics
What are the things I need to create an FC
Like the colossus in Castrum with his shield
Heyaaa are there level 50 Alliance Raids and if so where to unlock them :o
Or ravana blood stance
Yes, the crystal tower
Starts in mor dhona with Legacy of Allag
Ohh roger that i'll work on that asap tysm Vinyl !
They're very important to Shadowbringers story
You need to go to a grand company to grab a petition(?) and get 3 other people to sign it
To the point its mandatory next patch
Also 25k Gil
Ouch roger that
Are you sure that its 25k?
Pretty sure? It’s been forever and I don’t remember them changing it
"Return to the OIC administrator with the petition and pay a 15,000 gil registration fee."
Guess it got reduced at some point!
you can get an expensive FC house if you want, and then you can start a whole airship thing if you want
Airship thing?
it's like this fancy room in the house, and you have to build a ship that you send out to get mats
it's time consuming i guess
you dont actually fly it
So free mats?
Does it provide good mats or copper and tin
theyre very sellable cause some stuff is only gotten from that
Oooh
it's just time consuming because it's meant to be a guild activity where you all contribute towards it
so my friend is level 58 and he has never seen the dragon gauge... is it something you get later? He's a dragoon
What are some guild activities?
idk if the game actually provides activities
treasure maps, screenshot stuff,dungeons, mount farming
He gets it when he acquires blood of the dragon
i just see people setting up roleplay stuff or 'lets go do map parties'
on their own as a FC
As the dragoon gauge tracks blood of the dragon
Huh
Yeah the only actual FC-exclusive stuff is the workshop and Aetherflow wheel stand
yea that's the airship stuff
That’s where you manage the FC airships/submarines
then you and people with permission can turn on FC buffs too
for EXP, crafting, gathering, more MGP earned at the gold saucer, etc
for raiding people liked the food duration buff so you can eat less
In FC Houses
There are Crafting Facilities
What they do
Sorry for the excessive questions, I am thinking of making a smol new player FC
Just some for fun stuff
Dungeons and stuff
i dont know of any crafting facilities, no
it's like just a regular house you decorate
inside you can buy personal rooms for 300k
how often do you guys use your pet hotbar?
and then you have access to the airship/submarine stuff
how often do you guys use your pet hotbar?
@nova umbra Rarely if never
pet hotbar? never
Are we talking the Arcanist pet or companion pet?
Never
arcanist
Cause you just place the pet skills needed (place, sic, heel) on your bar
You use Sic and place often
this game isn't really a 'micro your pet' game imo. if you have arcanist/scholar/summoner pets you can tell them to move to where they are most needed once in a while but i see most dont bother after that
@echo tapir Think I can run an FC?
it's hard work if you're planning on "beyond friends" and actual leadership
you have to make sure everyone can get along too
hm
-you- also need to be playing every day and have a presence basically all the time
lol
but you can still make a casual newbie-friendly FC though
"we run things together, we help each other" etc but not like super controlling
you could make FC just for friends too
I dont have friends....
i mean like you can make them
😛
there's a lot of newbies playing right now so you could run stuff with them every day, and work toward getting exp buffs to help more
Why would someone join a lvl 34 dragoon's guild and not some good one if they werent a friend
idk i saw people make new ones all the time and they stuck around for ages
it just has to be done right
Right
alternatively you could also just join somebody else's fc??
before making your own, just to see what that's like
Yeah that too,
I feel like an FC needs a house
An FC without a house is a guild without a base
It can be a team effort
But probably not now
Thanks for the info
You are in Aether right?
Is there any newbie friendly FCs?

Assuming everyone's playing optimally, no plan for limit break, no aoes to dodge who generally benefits more from a AST card. Melee or ranged? Later on I know I'll have to focus a bit more on specific jobs but I just wanna know who I should be feeding cards to in a 4-man while leveling?
@leaden ginkgo dunno, i never look for those cause i haven't been a newbie in like 7 years
sorry bruh
there might be one in the recruitment channels below?
possibly
you could also shout in limsa during busy hours, or in all the other main towns
@leaden ginkgo just a heads up you can only join an fc on siren
Otherwise id invite you to mine
@leaden ginkgo i typed this in discord search and found one already using: in: recruitment-aether [Siren]
is it worth doing these lvl 50 quests like a relic reborn?
The first two steps go by kinda fast if you want a nice looking weapon
!iglam Stardust Rod Zenith
well need to find a specific book now
Buy it off the marketboard, and then get an NPC melder to put the right materia on it
Or if you know a crafter have them make it for super cheap
👌
Can you track dps on ps4?
No
So you can only do tgat through like an addon or something?
Is there a "meta" channel/discord?
Yes kata, its a 3rd party tool called ACT that PC people use
!faq balance
quick qn ...how many times can you rename your chocobo?
Pretty sure there’s no limit, but there might be a wait period before you can change their name again
ok cos i know we can change the name in chocbokeeper but affter changing it last week...the option seems to have disappearered
you're talking to the right npc, yeah? the chocobo keepers in the major city
Might need to be the same city as your grand company too
it doesnt
👌
yup went to the one in uldah
doesnt work...so now im gg to try going to my fc stable
see if that works
FC stable definitely won’t.
Hello, what is a good active server in eu, i want to transfer to eu server since im from eu, would really appreciate if anyone would tell me 🙂
EU servers are well balanced in population, best bet on a server if you’re willing to be patient are the preferred servers for the experience boost
!preferred chaos
!preferred light
flying is automatically max travel speed right
so when arr zones get flying in patch 5.3 it will be max speed
Thanks alot!
actually yes the option is in the stable @raven sage was right
Good to know
weird though that the chocobo keep didn't let you change, since afaik there is no limit on it
also when i do the transfer, is it instant or does it take a few days?
I never even knew you could change it at them but I've never seen it leave the stable
Transfers are usually quick
will i get my mainchar with me or do i need to start all over?
did read about it, but im not really sure
Whatever character you transfer will go
hey guys, i'm like a week into this game and does anyone have any tips? I've been soloing
!faq newplayertips
^
oh thats nice, thank you ❤️ good to know my char will get there
i also fucked up because waiting for the exp server to create y character took a long time, is there anythin i can do?? I can't just move servers and get the new character exp bonus?
Transfers have been pretty instant for.me in the past but just give it a few just incase
Transfering doesn't give the xp buff no
also, are all eu server english speaking?
Majority yes
Shiva is like the unofficial german and moogle is unofficial french
But large majority is English
ohh okay thanks 🙂
also since i used a code to get ffxiv starter edition, and it wasn't activatable o nsteam, what can I do?
I can't just download the client from steam? instead of always clicking the icon in desktop
steam and desktop client
are two completely different keys
you cannot change between the two
You would need a whole new account entirely to use steam
Yes
i only see armor no weapons
There is
Its in aelina, the other girl
You need 10 rowena tokens and 1 unidentified tomestone, which is found in the "other" tab of aurina
ah
i only got the allagah stones from story thought to get the weapon for it while im continue msq
You get them by doing lv50/60/70 content and most roulettes when doing them as a 50+
The side dungeons at 50 will give you more
kk
also is ishgard restoration on all servers?
yes
Especially with the first time bonus
Whats the most popular race?
And each server has seperate progress
thanks 🙂
either that or hyur
what's ishgard restoration?
cause people basic
then i will finnish my leveling on crafting onthis server im on now until im maxed, got 4 on 80!
Aka post heavensward story
ah
most popular race is mitoqe i think
They’re still pretty popular
I see au ra all over

Heck like over half the female characters I see are miqote and au ra
yea where im atm, theres not too much au ra's
More like 70%
is it possible to accidentally buy a unique item i already used like hairstyles and ballroom etiquettie
No
The game errors you
Only way would be if you put it in your saddlebag
For some reasow
Because why wouldn't you immediately use it
do all the purchasable hairstyles work on viera or only select ones?
I dont think any do
Of these dungeons, the Lv.59 one would give the most EXP right? Since it's a leveling dungeon?
yes
Yes
I'm currently almost at the end of base arr and I'm thinking of lvling another job for the post arr content until Heavensward 'cause I would really want to see the expansion from lvl50, how it's meant to be played, not come in with like lvl57 o 58 thanks to 2.0-2.5 exp from quests and dungeons. So my question is, is it worth it?
The xp from post arr is not alot
Its like 1 or 2 levels at best
Unless you have road to 70
Then its abit more
Is any 1 selling an extra shadowbringer expansion? NA?
Ofc any extra xp would come from your roulettes you do
You can pick up red mage and/or Samurai to soak xp
As they start at 50
As long as you don't have road to 70 and you didn't do roulette or redo dungeons for gear, your main class will be somewhat evenly match with the msq
It actually saves you a few dungeon run to level up later in HW (lvl 58-59 msq ish), SB, and ShB
I started HW, and ShB with a lvl 50 SCH and a lvl 70 DRK, and in both occasions, I was a tad under in the latter half of the base MSQ
Therefore, as long as you stick with MSQ with your main class and uses roulette for other jobs, your main should be on par or slightly ahead with MSQ level all the way through the end
There is no need to purposefully restrict your own level
anybody know which soundtrack plays in the fight against Grynwhathisname in the fight after capturing the Ovoo on Azim Steppe scenario duty?
it sounded like The Worm's Tail but not 100% sure
Isn’t it the normal Stormblood end-of-dungeon boss theme
^
Video showing footage from the final bosses of several of Stormblood's new levelling dungeons. I always love a boss theme but my god I've fallen in love with this one.
Find the rest of the FFXIV OST here!
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL5mKr-nFprKMsrDqpwsI1L0FKj4KgouH...
Sounds nothing like Worm's Tail
Just got to Idyllshire, there's no real reason to get the hailstorm gear over the shire gear right?
For stat, no
I got hailstorm for glamour on WHM but that's about it
also you get free augmented shire accessories doing MSQ
Hellfire tank is nice looking too, dyes well
so don't bother buying them, you get those like a few quests right after iirc
I mean shire accessories
Ooooh, got it got it, thanks @brittle glade @warped nest !!
what's a good way to farm gil around level 13?
i wanna get better equipment but it doesn't seem to be good
At lvl 13, your best way to get equipment is to resume your 
Why are you thinking about getting better gear, btw?
Just want to know why
@warped nest @faint flare thanks for the info
cuz i'm weak
The game at low level is adjusted for crap gear
Just do more
and you will open up more options in acquiring gear
Don't worry about having gears with no stat when you are lvl 13
and i'm not playing with the server buff so it's really slow
You being overlevel and overpower actually have very little impact on the story and the story mandated dungeons
Just do more
(your main scenario), almost everything is gated with your main scenario progression
i spend way too much gi using teleport
You can do FATEs (blue blue on map/mini-map with a monster icon) or side quests (
) for gils
you can /shout in like limsa for like 50k gil for teleport costs. old players like to help new players
What is the conditional virtue?
when is reset on eu server, is it 17.00 there too?
Its a minion of Absolute Virtue from FF11 kata
Reset is the same time on all servers, it happens globally
!reset
0 Days, 12 Hours, 30 Minutes, 26 Seconds
0 Days, 17 Hours, 30 Minutes, 26 Seconds
3 Days, 5 Hours, 30 Minutes, 26 Seconds
3 Days, 5 Hours, 30 Minutes, 26 Seconds
0 Days, 23 Hours, 30 Minutes, 26 Seconds
0 Days, 16 Hours, 30 Minutes, 26 Seconds
0 Days, 9 Hours, 30 Minutes, 26 Seconds
ooh okay thanks 🙂
Are minions available for all classes?
Yes
Minions are vanity-only
They're just small toys that follow you
Unless you count using them in lords or verminion
Where they fight
But thats a small rts in itself with barely any interest
Honestly i saw 3 scholars in a row with it so i thought it was a glyph that changed the appearance of Eos
There are glamours for summoner? Omg i have to go look
only for carbuncle
You just turn the egis back into Carbuncle
unlocked at the arcanist guild
Any one of the 3 Carbuncles
they never say yes or no unless it's virtually impossible because they don't want to shoot down or promise anything
I think the carbuncle is cuter anyway

Minions are for pet pvp though

how do I unlock daily challenge for pvp?
how to unlock Aymark in Eulmore?
how do i trade in my padjali wep from potd for the red kinna ones? my gear is at 60/60+ but the option still doesn't show up
do i need to like complete the whole 100 floors
adadsfasdf
new player here just getting my first job to 55, maxed on company seals what should I spend them on?
you can consider things like glamour prisms or crafting materials that sell on the market
what are the shirt and hands called? (the things i circled)
The gloves are the Republican caster gloves from PvP
@leaden ginkgo if you hover over the gear when viewing the person
it'll say whats been glamoured
^
but yes the gloves are the republican signifers fingerless gloves iirc
!iglam republican signifers fingerless gloves
thanks
But the gloves make the sleeves disappear
ones from pvp the other is from mogstation
yeah
@leaden ginkgo no i know but i tried it all on and saved the outfit, but it doesn't tell me what the glamour was
on my character
only says the actual gear he was wearing\
It only says on the person who is wearing it
You need to hover like 3 seconds and then it will switch to what is glammed
anyone know any free vpns I can use to download my updates
You need to hover like 3 seconds and then it will switch to what is glammed
This
omg i've tried it on from my character and im not in area of that guy who originally had that glamour
when i hover from the try on stuff it doesnt show the glams
No you can't hover over it on try on
It jas to be on their character

Absolutely
Expert gives 90 I think
it takes 5 experts a week to cap
huh
so if you're doing both expert and 80 itll take less
Experts give 90, 50 from the dungeon itself + 40 from the roulette
how do i go about getting some better gear early on? Im currently level 24 almost 25, and my average gear level is 14
Either the best lvl dungeon gear, or buy it from vendors in the main cities
In your case, The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak is your highest dungeon
the last duty i unlocked was the bowl of ember at lvl 20
i dont have that one unlocked yet
You dont need to have the most up to date gear if all you are doing is MSQ.
then don't worry too much about it. focus on the the main scenario quest, it gives you most of the gear you need
chances are its the accessories that are bringing down your ilvl, which under 50 accessories don't really make or break anything
alright
how exactly does dungeon loot work
sometimes i try opening the chests and nothing shows up
were the npc to trade out the male outfits for the wedddings to the female ones
Sometimes they drop items, other times armor
oh ok
sometimes chests don't have loot that can be rolled on
they have items like potions which are just randomly handed out
It's dependant on the chest and how far into the dungeon you are. The very first chest will have things like potions
About halfway in, you will get gear like waist and rings. The final chests give things like chest and weapons
also, whats better: chest + hat or full body chest piece/robe/armor
You dont need to worry about stuff like that. it phases out fast.
https://gyazo.com/9bd381eb56221ad2edac047b1a6774e5 hey , does this mean I can't access the quest yet?
If you have a choice, go for the full body as it means you dont need to worry about it
It means multiple things. Perhaps you started the quest as another class
it means you dont meet a requirement for the quest
Underlevel. Perhaps you have other sidequests you need to complete, etc/
either wrong class or not high enough lvl
ohhhh ok thank you!
Try going outside the city and killing few mobs or doing some side quests
yeah ima go try and do the bunch of quests there are outside and come back
to those who just got their ARR relics, how bad are the gil stages now?
Your hunting log is a great way of leveling early on
Prolly doesnt have hunt log yet
how do you access the hunt log?
check ur menus
After you complete your lv 5 job quest
theres a section called logs
ah yeah im lv 3
yeah thought so
yeah ill go get that real quick
where do i get weapons? Battlecraft supplier gives armor for example
nevermind
found it
Happens to everyone
Those are special quests
special in what way
You want to grab every single one you can
Dungeons, trials
Literally all the good things the game has
The yellow ones are usually side quests
How many Player Accommodations are required for Combat Mentor?
They unlock features in the game, however the one that say "So you want to be a..." unlock other jobs
So those you might wanna leave out until you actually want that job
The exception is job quests as they will unlock the job for you.
Yes
1,500
And 1 of each archetype being 80
Its an ongoing event where you are reward tomes from completing certain dungeons, which you can trade for some rewards like mounts, orchastration rolls, minions etc
The moogle is there for people to turn in tomes. It is an in between content before the next patch.
In your case, you can ignore it until mid 30s when you will start unlocking content which drop it.
Yes
It is a fun distraction and has great prizes. Cosmetics and mounts mostly and also unlocks triple triad
Not really. Mounts come from various ways.
is there somehow a tunnel underground or something?
To be specific, anything higher than a B should be taken with a decent level of seriousness
so the best way to get full rewards
is switch to tank and spam enmity generation moves
Inst hunts damage based?
nope
Haha
I'm sorry, for the life of me I can't find this tunnel... do I have to progress in story first?
Enmity generation moves
you don't have to get a lot tho?
Thing of the past
Yes I know one exists
I never did it as tank and I always get full rewards
But do actual dps
were you in a party?
No
There is an entrance, you just need to look for it.
were you doing a level 80 rank?
you will come across it in MSQ so just keep your eyes out
nah for SB and below hunts I dont party for ShB ones I do
ye
all old content
you do enough damage to generate enmity
and it doesn't even matter if you're the only one hitting it
with 80 a ranks doing no enmity means you don't get full rewards
Is the enmity party based tho? lets say a grp doesnt even have a tank
yeah but it's easier to get enmity if everyone is BiS gear
vses a bunch of people wearing scaeven / 430 hitting an a rank
entrace is at 31, 16 @nova umbra but like was said the msq will take you down there
tl;dr better off going as a tank cause if your dps is bad then you ain't getting full rewards
Woot, my memory hold still
with garlondtools and npc presets in character creation, what's the counting format for stuff like "skin color: 2, 5" what's the 2 and what's the 5?
ohhh okay thank you!
HEY GUYSSS im back

Heya, I was wondering what a good way to get a DPS class up in the levels are? Already have a level 80 job and all that, but I'd like to get a pugilist up. Right now I'm just doing some hunting logs and fates as I find them, are there better ways?
I'm level 12!
Okay, I wasn't sure if that was the way to go even at that low level. Thanks!
!faq altlvlguide
@sturdy glacier
are savage runs random loot in SHB ? like how do people get the gear so fast it seems
thank you 
so you have people who get geared up virtually day one
and at most it only takes 8 weeks to gear everyone up properly
less if you're going for BiS which uses tomestone gear
hey
damn 8 weeks
i was asking about the reset password thing
so wait is tomestone gear better than eden ?
why is FFXIV so sensitive? i have to reset password everytime i go hotels
no
augmented allegory is the same item level as eden 5-8 savage
except for the weapon which is 5 item levels above current
I like lancer so far, do the attacks get faster? Is it high apm?
dragoon does not get a faster GCD and it's the most consistent job of the bunch
Thanks, how is the speed compared to dancer?
AH ok here
I've hit 80, what should I do now? I wanted toget into endgame raids and all that fun stuff
hey guys, returning player here, trying to catch up with friends and hesitating on boosting to 70/skipping story or leveling from my 51 samurai and finishing the msq where I'm at... I have no idea if I have 1h left of MSQ or 20h before I reach heavensward, anyone could give me an idea of how far I'm at? the current quest is Flowers for One
not that i'm in a hurry, but I got burnt out of ARR msq's last time and quitted at that point..
Thanks, how is the speed compared to dancer?
@novel orbit everything at high level sits between fast and faster
Lol
except for black mage but you'll cry when you have to interrupt your cast to move
@swift plover you're still pretty early on in post ARR so its up to you if you want to skip but i personally wouldn't recommend it as while 2.1-2.2 can be tedious, it does get better and 2.55 is very much worth it
my recommendation is, if you don't skip, whenever you feel like you're getting burnt out on the msq go to something else for a bit
go hang out in the gold saucer or do the hildibrand side quest
Dragoon is the one that does all the jumps right?
thanks @twilit arch , ill think about it more. is there a point for my level 70-80 friends to join me in these lower level content/raids? I wouldn't want to ask them to hangout in old lower level stuff if it's not really useful to them
If they have jobs at low level and they want to level it, they can join you
well, you do give them a first time bonus for that content, which gives them poetics. So if they're working on something like the relic quests, then they'll definitely want that
Or they are after specific gears for glamour, it benefits them in joining as well
I know they were telling me it's not a waste at all if I boosted for them to join me, didnt think about my older character that's 51 though
You have 3 expansions' worth of MSQ to go through
If playing with your friend is that important, just boost
if you don't care about the story at all, then i'd say go ahead ad boost
but if you do care about the story, its pretty strongly recommend to not boost. take your time. This is a story driven mmo, and the story is first and foremost
(personally I don't think it is worth playing any games for your friends, but you do you)
thanks everyone, i think ill go read up on ARR's story first and then decide if I wan to keep playing for the story
i've rarely played mmo's for story, it's always been about the social aspect
that's perfectly fine, you're free to play this game how you like
just forewarning that even if you do boost, you're still going to have to do some of the main scenario quest
You'll still end up doing the shadowbringers main scenario quest, which while you don't need to have played the rest of the msq to understand it does make it a lot easier and better if you do
just trying not to timegate myself weeks or months to catch up and play with them
i hate this reset password thing. is there a square enix admin here that can help me ?
Setup the authentication app on your phone
Everytime you log in you will need to punch in a 6 digit One Time Password generated from the app
On top of your usual password
I don't think i can do that now since I can't access my mogstation
Did you get locked out?
it says "
An e-mail has already been sent to this e-mail address.
If you would like to send another e-mail, please wait at least 24 hours before trying again."
Did you reset twice?

If you travel a lot and log in from various locations and devices
Use the authentication app
im sorry
Or the physical authenticator if you like those sort of gadgets
its not on my yahoo, its on my gmail
Anyway, my statement still stands
ill get the app thing
because my job is mobile. Each IP on different hotels gives me this reset thing
Yeah
its about 18dollar cad
Do I need more than 800Gp on gather gear? I have 818 atm

800 is fine
hmmm... should i get entry or standard?
Thank you
gets you enough for your gatherer rotations
whats the difference anyways?
!faq subprice
its just the number of characters you can have
Entry is sufficient for most players
Yeah
ok ty
Standard is just if you want multiple alt characters on the same world
or 8 on a single world
RPers
WOOOOO lets play... thanks @warped nest
or 8 on a single world
@little swift playing with yourself took to a new level
Np, have fun, Stoned
Morning guys, after I reach my ninja job, from where do I get my ninja job quests? also from rogues guild ?
That house
In the middle of nowhere
Your rogue quest should ensure your encounter with the Ninja
yes it did, and I'm a ninja now, and learned my first "Ten" skill
Then you will be instructed to visit a house south wineport (?)
That house is the ninja base
So there
yes Wineport is the place i was talking about, so there will be my job quests from now on ?
i miss my shuriken days. Keep leveling up. Under your MainQuest on Top Left screen, is your Job Quest @safe niche
So when there's an available job quest, thats where you see it.
And yes they are issued by the ninja in that house
Job quests is one long quest line
So where you left it is where you pick it up
ahh ok thanks a lot bro
@safe niche hide resets your ten
Anyone know of any small homes available in the flower beds
leviathan btw
@ or dm me
jesus the rotation is little bit confusing
i'm currently doing Born again anima, and i've cleared a hard dungeon, but i didnt get the item?
Is there a way to make the launcher skip the login screen? Gets real boring putting in password every time lol
Nope! Even does that on Ps4!
damn
is the $40 version of the game on the website ffxiv + all the dlcs?
the shadowbringers standard edition
I think thats just shadowbringers
the Complete edition ($60) has base and all expansions
thats collectors for shadowbringers
^ that one is base and all DLC (so far)
yes
for whatever reason
if i just buy the starter edition of the game and then buy shadowbringers i do get all other dlcs with it right?
IDK about that one, I just got the complete edition since it saves money overall
Yes, Shadowbringers comes with both Heavensward and Stormblood
cool thanks
anyone else getting 90002 a lot? I even did the whole port forwarding thing
And unless there's a sale on either, base game plus expacs cost the same as complete edition
honestly i was just trying to save money wherever i could because its also a subscription based game
20% off basically already saves enough for a month tho

Does old tomestones for moogle event get reused? LIke i have a ton of Mythology and have everything i can get, and as well Solidary.
they haven't been reused yet, but you can still purchase some items from previous events if you click on the > past event moogle tomes tab
ooh okay thank you, i guess i'll keep them in my retainer for a a few years or so haha
just incase
i think the previous event stuff gets shuffled away eventually so keep 1 for like commemoration but no reason not to spend them
DF penalty
@keen dagger
If you withdraw from queue after duty has popped three times in a day, you get a 30min DF lockout
so i'm at a part where i need 15 pneumite to get the newborn soulstone, then turn in for aettir, is the light farming thing for the lux?
ooh okay thank you, I didn't know if they like rotate in the future like start completely over or just get shoved away with a new name. Thanks.
15 pneumite and light farm are the same step
oh really
they give you two quests to do
okay so i get the pneumite and farm light, then give the weapon full of light + the soulstone ?
i thought it was soulstone > turn in > aettir > light > lux
and what was the fastest way for light again? alexander but which one ?
A9S: Eyes of the Creator - Savage
do you know how many runs it takes ?
it's about 18
yep, all the time
Just make sure that you're actually on the light farm step (you'll have an anima glass in Key Items that shows you your progress)
yea i used it too
and make sure that you equip the weapon
ahh i thought we could do it without
There are some steps where you don't have to have it equipped, but light farm isn't one of em
alrighty
If I make a character on a preferred world, how long does the 2xp last?
90 days i think ?
It lasts until the world loses preferred status, but is guaranteed to be at least 90 days from the character's creation
I also have something called road to 70 is that something different?
road to 70 is the preferred world buff
Until 90 days have passed from char creation and the world is no longer preferred status
So if it stays preferred for say 6 months I keep the buff?
yeah
Nice
but if it becomes standard with 5.3 in july then it's 90 days
so when should i expect white mage to start changing in terms of how it's played?
People told me White Mage goes from Cure and Cure II to using cooldown abilities
the main WHM oGCDs for healing are Benediction at 50 and Tetragrammaton at 60
you'll also get access to an instant GCD that is damage-neutral because it charges up your big nuke
right, so when should i just stop using cure then
you can stop using Cure 1 right away, pretty much
and Cure 2 remains occasionally useful even at level 80
And when you get regen, that becomes your first line of healing you keep up most the timr as its your most efficient heal
ehh
You just toss it up to.let it tick and sprinkle in additional cure 2s as necessary
By the time you're in the 70s, regen is also sorta phased out in use
The mistake people often make is viewing oGCD heals like benediction and tetragrammaton as "emergency buttons". They're not--they're your bread and butter, and should be used often.
It's your GCD heals--Afflatus Solace, and finally Cure 2--that are more like emergency buttons.
what's the minimum level you have to play solo? When can you start partying up with a friend?
aside from guildhests which don't really count, the first content that has to be done in a party is the level 15 dungeon
which unlocks as part of the MSQ 
You can form a party before that for killing normal enemies outside, or doing FATEs, but it's not at all necessary to do so
is there a limit on how many buffs you can recieve
Hi, how the glamour works in the game?
I unlock skins and can use the glamour item to change? or I need the actual item to use to change the other item?
There's probably some upper limit to how many buffs you can receive but it wouldn't come into play during normal play
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
thanks
I think I undertood
There is also a glamour dresser that lets you set up whole outfits that you can apply without carrying pieces of the outfit with you
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
The upper limit on debuffs is something like 60 so I would think that buffs would somewhere the same
thanks ^^
Not that that's something achievable in normal play
at what level can i start playing the main story with friends? Also, how useful are the sidequests, or should I just stick to the main story for the time being? Just started yesterday btw
Focus on mainquests pretty much
can be done to unlock stuff
Class quests are not optional 
They give you abilities and stuff
You can party with your friends whenever besides in solo instances
The first dungeon is lv15 in the main story quest
If you guys started in different cities thats when you'll meet
other than the dungeons and trials, the Main Story is pretty much entirely a thing you do solo
That's when the msq converges
which is very much unlike other MMOs
You can complete many msq objectives together but it is largely solo
You can explore and travel together, but when it comes to key moments like cutscene and what not, your friend is not invited

Is there priority to which crafting class to begin with?
no
Now that cross-class skills have been removed, you can do whatever.
Still recommended to level all eight crafters if you want to get into crafting, though.
oh, thanks a lot ^^
Hi, someone know how to find if there is house available in the game ?
With auto demolish off, finding a open plot is alooot more difficult
Is it easier to obtain an apartment at the moment?
Yes because there is alooooot more of those
Than plots
As every ward and sub ward have their own large list of apartments
Just wondered, we snagged a house a month ago but it was a LOT of sleepless nights and clicking and BS
It's different to obtain an apartment ?
Yes, you go to the apartment building and go to the lobby and talk to the apartment manager
I will try to do this thx
If I may add more to this, apartments only let you put indoor furniture, while housing has both outdoor and indoor stuff.
Furthermore, anything people put in the outside of their house can be viewed by other players in the same ward
From dev/data standpoint, it is much easier to just add more floors of apartment, than adding more wards of houses
And apartment are only individual no ?
Yup
Oh, apartment can't expire. Houses can if it is not used in I think 45 days?
You can take a really long break and your apartment will still be there.
Oh nice
I hope there is some apartment left
There's plenty
Iirc theres like 90 per ward and subward in each housing area
Or more
Haven't checked in ages
More than enough I'd say
Yeah, i wanna say its close/over 100
Okay I'm gonna check
Thx
does update download resets upon cancellation?
Are you in a solo duty?
no
just in the field?
fight die repeat
yea open zone
It's not advisable to tackle groups of mobs solo
unless you have a chocobo companion/ are a few levels higher
cheese it
take them one by one
Quest mobs are designed to be taken when multiple are spawned
You're probably undergeared
or broken
Or broken
i did it
well done!
No
oh lol
then its probably cuz i used single firespell instead of aoe
killed each one faster
aoe did small dmg somehow
Is there an eassy way to check if an apartment is avaible somewhere ?
sleep will help you a lot if you are playing black mage/thaumaturge
Nope, just havr to go to each ward and check ghak
you can aoe sleep a mob, then single target kill each one
damn
Just pick one at random
oh nvm just found one
And there should be one free
is 5.3 out already?
is there a date?
No
