@tulip plover You’ll have to drop some things off with your retainers or stuff it in your chocobo saddlebags
How do i get a retainer
Go to the marketplace in any of the three cities and talk to the Retainer Vocate to hire a retainer. Their inventory space is much larger than your own and always worth having.
Should I be using the Lilies as a main heal or still using cure?
Priority would be like
Tetragrammaton > Afflatus Solace > Cure 2 for single targets
Since tetra IS ogcd
I'm still at level 54 but does WHM get anymore oGCD's
terta for healing, assize has healing but generally want to use on cd for dmg/mp, thin air for no mp cost for a time, divine benison for shield, plenary indulgence for aoe healing burst
Should i buy a mount or riding map with irregular tombstone
tyty!
Up to you really. The mounts aren’t exactly difficult to get but removing the grind is always nice, slight as the grind maybe. Same can be said of the riding maps however. But their worth is debatable since we’ll have flight in ARR zones next patch.

Bought direwolf cuz it looked cool
The horse mounts suck
How long is the moogle event going on?
Until the next patch releases next month
Ok i have time to farm them
can you do the great hunt ex unsync and still get the loot?
yeh
yes
is there a difference in damage dealt to a single target between the caster LB and the physical ranged LB?
I believe the damage is the same? I think?
thanks
yeah its just a change in shape
no the dmg is not the same
caster lb is slightly higher potency than the phys ranged
MS roulette gives 7-10 but takes the longest per run. AV can be fast if your team is good or if you go as an all BLU party. Hidden Gorge PvP is... it’s a strange mode but not bad for moogle tomes.
none of the mounts offered by the tomestones are unique to the event
they're all farmable from trials or beast tribes
yeah the lanners are from extreme heavensward trials
and the kamuy are from extreme stormblood trials
See the thing is i dont wanna wait that long to flex on the unworthy
you can farm em relatively easily with some buddies at 80 unsynced
its not that big of a flex m9
farm aurum Vale it's faster than a raid imho
whenever i try to use foul smelling bait it says invalid target
5 tomes per
how do i use it?
How do I activate Titles?
Go to the quest marker on your mini map. There should be a shiny patch of ground. That’s your objective. Use the bait there.
Titles are in your Character window in the Profile tab.
ty
nvm it was glitched
wouldnt let me target it with X button
they spawned and killed me
bc i couldnt target them
Oh targeting with the X button is relative to where your character is facing.
and how should i target
And a little tip for targeting enemies. While you’re holding L2 or R2 for your skills, you can hit L1 or R1 to cycle targets.
It feels funny at first but it’s much faster than fumbling with X or the dpad.
left/right arrows for targeting, pressing x will lock onto the target, if you don't press x then you will auto switch back to your last target. also you can enable target filtering in settings. I made L1+X to enable enemy-only targeting, so that I don't have to cycle through party members, then I press L1+circle to go back to All targeting if I need to (I.e. when I'm not in a dungeon and want to target people for emotes etc)..its all up to how you set it up though
and what eton said also
:P
the difference between quick targeting and lock-on targeting is really nice on controller. i.e. when you're playing healer and you're locked onto the boss, you can quick target your tank to heal and keep attacking the boss without having to retarget
Quick target is called a soft target in game
There are some settings on soft targeting
Adjust them to fit your need
Are the gathering and crafting job quests worth doing
for money yes
But other than that if you wanna lvl just do leves?
oh the quests
Some of the class quests give pretty good exp, especially from the SB ones.
I mean yes
Oh ok
job quests give skills
SB quests are, yeah, all but required as one of the best crafting skills is locked behind a quest.
err does a shiva-themed craftable whm weapon exist?
how much if i change name AND appearnace would cost me CAD?
i couldn't find one on the wiki
23.04 CAD
thats alright
no craftable weapon. shiva theme weapon is either from EX or the lvl60 eikonic weapon
what should i buy for it?
I do want to mention that Shiva has glowing weapons, it is acquired by trading Shiva drops and the Shiva weapon. You get those two from the ex.
Assuming that's what in your mind when you asked about crafted Shiva.
ah ha
great
yea, i was using craftable synonymously with glowy
didn't know there were untradeable ones
things were not consistent back then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
both Shiva and Levi are a break from the rest for their glowy verisons
zurvan
in that you exchange the item dropped from their instances with an item to get the glowy version
would it be shiva's diamond cane?
oh i thought they meant normal
What?
yes that's the glowy version for shiva ex weapon
ayyyyyyy i already have enough diamond dust
not really sure why you're bringing up the book of diamonds...
Ok so how do you pronounce astrologean
shiva ex weapons are codex and grimoire of ice
it's still not a shiva weapon
ast -ro -lo-ge-an
Ass-troll-low-jian
the syllable i'm not sure about is whether the lo is law or loh
loh
loh
cool beans
comes from logos i believe
I thought astrology is a real word
wat
it is
-logia is a greek suffix
So I just get Astrologian out of astrology
name change is under additional services on the mogstation

Quick question, I'm on PS4 , I have all the DLCS and such but would like to play on my PC, do I have to but the game again or can I just download it and login from there?
you would have to buy the game and expansions again
Licenses don’t transfer. Have to buy it again.
Daaammnnnn, thanks.
@twilit arch how many years to get all those jobs lvled?
doesn't really take years to level them all. Had most of them to 70 by the end of stormblood, when there wasn't much to do while waiting for next expac to release
got most of them to 80 within the first few months of shadowbringers release
but i also have a lot of time on my hands
for this expansion, mostly been playing smn, whm, ast and dnc
I’ve been playing a mix of BLM/WHM/SCH/RDM/DNC/WAR/DRK for the most part
I've been playing WHM - I'm liking it so far.
Though one of my party died and I was going to instacast revive him and I couldn't click on his name - like target not found or something.
depending on the fight, its possible to be knocked off the platform
thus not able to be raised
Ah was titan
cool - so it's not a range issue
In Titan’s case it is a range issue because the body lands far below the stage.
Right, but in general I should haven't to be running around trying to find where they died to res them?
Right
yea
What do you do to try and make sure they don't die right away? Cause they have to accept feels a bit hard to time a heal.
they are invulnerable, while they are getting up and abit more.
in that case there wasn't really too much you could do to make sure they don't die, since they get yeeted off the stage
Yeah we still won, so no biggie.
People that get raised have a couple seconds of invulnerability as long as they don’t do any actions besides moving
when you get raised you get temporary invulnerability as long as you don't cast any skills besides moving
Gotcha
So if they get raised, attack the boss, and then die right away due to raids wide damage it’s their fault
they also cant accept heals for a couple moments freshly raised.
Yeah but then probably not enough time for an 8s res
omg im so high, i cant stop shopping in mogstation
lol
hahaha i bought mount and costume... gg 70$
What does the challenge log do
expands Ur squadron for your grand company
give you exp/gil/seals depending on what challenge logs you complete
don't skip the challenge log unlock it becomes semi useful later on :x
Lol i went this whole time without unlocking it XD
yea
you'll want to promote urself in your grand company now, unlock squadrons, and then as you complete challenges, you get a chance for a new recruit
What are squadrons
it's better to have that going for you even if you don't care about squadrons
in your grand company you can have a party of squadrons to send them on missions etc you pay them with seals. u also gotta do a squadron mission to get promoted to first Lt. in your gc
So they bring you back cool stuff?
GC squadrons are exactly what they sound like. You get a small squad of NPCs to train up. They run mission and stuff while you do your own thing. Squads are how you can get promotions all the way up to Captain. And, yeah, a few emotes and personal buffs like +15% combat exp. and so on.
Sounds cool now to get unusually heavily invested in yet another feature you guys inform me about
FFXIV fan artists - do you ever leave ffxiv running while you're working on art at your desk? I was thinking about doing art while I was in queue
I’m no artist but yeah that’s a good way to fill the time between queues.
I usually play clash of clans or look up ways to get better at this game
Or study whatever works for u
That works too - I don't play many games, and I only play games on my desktop so I don't actually have mobile games going
Cool, I think I'm going to hook my wacom up and start doing art while in queue
Without using $$, what's the easiest/quickest multi-seater mount I can get?
There is a refer a friend one if you refer friends
You do have friends..... the other scions of the dawn
The only other two-seater that doesn’t cost money requires a massive time investment. The mount looks nice but it takes months if not years to acquire.
Yeah I am still shocked I actually got 1 person who wanted to use me as their referred person
you can put RAF code up on the recruit a friend subreddit
Oh yeah there’s also a four seater but that requires clearing a level 80 savage raid.
outside of raf, the only other multi-seater mounts that aren't for real money are Astrope, which is from doing 2k mentor roulette and the Skyslipper, which is from Eden Gate: Sepulture (Savage)
which is the 4 seater?
the skyslipper is 4 seater, yeah
oh wow
Interesting
the speeder from star wars
So i had to reste my pc cus everything was cluttered and i wanted a fresh start so my final fantasy 14 is gone i go to store and it wants me to buy it again for 60$ and the mog station shows i have it eith a pass for 19 more days...
How do i get this game back?....
The game time cards give you about 60 days of gameplay, so you can redownload the game from the website/steam if you have already purchased it but you have to pay a monthly subscription to keep playing
mogstation multi-seaters are 30$
Im trying to download from website but
If someone has the game though, they could get their own mount and you can run around together on mounts 🙂
It ... wont show
So i hit lvl 80 and i heard i could get armor where do i go to get it?
what do minions do? are they just for fun?
there is a Lords of Vermillion minion game at the Gold Saucer you can play with them
It's on the upper floor near the chocobo racing
go talk to the guy at the tempest @rare karma
A few quests ago they had you talk to a blacksmith who lived in a small cave. Go talk to him and he’ll give the armor to you for free.
Should be SE of the Ondo Cups
Ok thx
What's the difference between Priority Missiosn and Flagged Missions?
Flagged missions are the missions needed to rank up your squadron
Priority Missions are difficult missions for better rewards. Flagged Missions are specifically for promotions
Priority missions are missions that provide additional consumable rewards such as mgp gain +15%
Oh. Routine missions are just that. Low risk. Rewards aren’t as good but they’re practically guaranteed to succeed with a good squad.
and priority missions are more likely to fail if you don';t meet all the requirements but offer good rewards?
Also are priority missions one and done?
like routine missions
Cause I have to wait for the end of the week to re-do routine missions or something like that
I’m already near the end of shadowbringers but so far i have never done any raids or savage content and wanted to ask where is the best place to start + which savage content is still alive and people queue up for that is from previous expansions ?
Priority missions, iirc, can’t be fully blue. At least from my experience I could never get any more than 2/3 filled. Falls to chance for their success but the rewards are pretty good.
non shb savages are easier
Also I think there was a limit to completing priority missions successfully.
Been a while since I’ve done squad stuff 😅
Non-shb can be easier in the sense that you can take them on using the undersized party feature to trivialize dps checks and the like. However that doesn't meant they are easy.
A good place to start could be to work through some of the extreme trials of this expansion
@leaden ginkgo you'll be able to get a taste of difficulty a step up from normal content this way.

Party finder is the way that most datacenters form pickup groups for these types of content
@little swift what about alliances raids ?
alliance raids are casual content
Kinda want to try one
you can but they're easy
But i assume all stormblood raids are dead by now
Oh nice
How do i access edens gate?
Completion of the level 80 quest chain starting with In the Middle of Nowhere by talking to Anxious Crystarium Guard in The Crystarium (X:9.7 Y:12.3). Players first must complete Main Scenario Quest Shadowbringers. The guard will send you to The Empty where you will begin the Eden's Gate quest line.
crystarium
Will the game let me buy a masterbook that I've already learned?
or will it prevnet me from buying it
it will stop you from buying a book you already know
kk
Is there a way to obtain Dreadwyrm gear outside of the actual Final Coil instances?
the replica crafted version
Well yeah but those are all iLvl50
And doesn't include the weapon in the case of Dreadwyrm
i mean the ilvl isn't all that important
since ironworks is easier to get
but the replica version are dyeable
Well I was mainly asking because this alt has SMN/SCH my mains
And as easy as Poetics are to get
Gearing up two roles simultaneously is kind of a pain
They might be in the Quick Venture pool?????????? But I have can't confirm that. The pool just keeps growing.
They're not
Ah then, yeah, no other way to get it than to run FCoB
I've never seen raid gear in the pool.
So quick random question... is the ceremony of eternal bonding something taken seriously as a actual wedding or just something cool for the exclusive items and teleport ring?
Depends entirely on you. I know just as many people that take it seriously, real couples and such, as those who get them just for the items or as jokes.
Ah good to know... important to have that partner be on the same page I bet 😂 i’m guessing you can’t actually truly get married and still have to sign something at a courthouse or something to make it official irl
Or does the premium plan accommodate for that?
Lol no it isn't that serious. It's just a nice side thing for people to do as they please.

It’s still two hours however lol where is the church out of curiosity is it its own instance/dungeon or is it able to be accessed in world?
It's accessed in East Shroud. The inside is its own instance but the outside can be seen by everyone.
Here, in fact. Circled in red.
what is drowning wench?
Drowning Wench is the Adventurer's Guild in Limsa. It's on the Upper Decks, just north of the Aftcastle teleport.
thank you
Military-grade Tomestone is used for purchasing the level 70 Scaevan weapons. A really good weapon to have for entering ShB.
You need that tomestone and 10 Rowena tokens of Genesis to buy the weapon. Exchanged in Rhalgr's Reach.
You exchange it alongside 10 Rowena tokens of Genesis to buy a weapon at the vendor to the right of the tomestone vendor in Rhalgr's Reach
I think the Paladin Sword is only 7 tokens though so double check if you're buying that
you are correct the paladin sword is generally 7 tokens to everyone elses 10
because the sheild* costs 300
Though I'm pretty sure they upgrade together, so if you want the ilvl 400 version you'll need both the Sword and Shield
Ok do linkshells for hunts and treasure maps just not exist anymore cuz I still can't find one but I want to do that content and I don't know how on my own..

For EU I don't know. We are in a content lull however. That might be contributing.
Tbh I've never heard of a linkshell for maps before just check party finder?
Huh, I encountered something weird. It looks like you can bypass the minimum ilvl requirement for a duty by entering it through roulette?
Hmm which roulette and which dungeon?
I got into Susanoo's with like, ilvl 160... I think
I just did susanoos as a mnk and I remembered last time I did it I was surprised because I was a blm with hardly any gear, leveled in HoH
And I just had to buy gear on my monk to enter it 'normally' which made me go like 'waaait?'
I don't think story trials have a min ilvl?
Dungeons certainly do but I don't recall if they added those to the trials
Oh, you are right! I had to get gear for the dungeons that came around it
No, mystery solved then. Thanks
Are raids just basically lots of trials?
8-person raids, yes. 24-person raids are a little closer to what you'd find in other games.
how long the rest bonus last for?
1.5 levels if fully charged, which takes about 4 days or so in a sanctuary
any place that shows counts as a Sanctuary to where there's a crescent moon by the EXP bar.
and it doesn't need to be consecutive, you slow build it up over time
ohh okay!
@little walrus Not that I know of. As far as I recall, that's the only song from IX.
is there a way to check ping?
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
k thanks
whats the 0/16 next to leve quest? is that a counter for something
You can hold only 16 leves at a time
If you want to take more than that, you need to complete or abandon those you already have in your journal
@gloomy ice
Some trials do have a minimum iLvL, there is also a trial that has a hard iLvL sync.
Most yes, mid-story trials don't have them.
just arrived at Idyllshire, what's the better timestone armour? shire, or hellfire? I'm assuming shire right?
shire ye
Does Twin Snakes apply to Elixir Field?
what should I get first, full suit of armour, or full set of accessories and some armour?
@jolly sorrel yes
Thanks
replace whatever is your weakest pieces of gear are first.
oh all my accessories are way lower than my armour anyway so yeah them
but I recommend getting the weapon first.
also is there a glamour dresser in this city? I couldn't find an inn room
nope
you can't wear two of the same ring, right? So I shouldn't buy two of the same one?
Only if it's unique
yeah shire ones are unique untradeable so I guess I need two different ones?
But I'm assuming you're talking about Shire rings. Buy one, augment it, buy a second umaugmented one. Profit.
You can upgrade one and buy another
Darkest Gobcoat is for upgrading accessories. Take them to Seika, slightly NW of the central building, to upgrade Shire gear.
if I apply a glamour plate, how can I remove it without using a glamour dispel thing?
Can't without the regular dispeller.
I recommend buying like 5-10 dispellers and terebinths and sticking them in your choco saddlebag in case you get a cute at-level piece of equipment
is there a way to buy this one by one? or do i really need to buy the whole bulk?
And if you plan on getting into glam seriously, start hoarding dyes. All the dyes you get from dungeons or quests. I have my choco saddlebag like 90% full with dyes, and that's after throwing out all craftable ones and replacing them with pigments
No there isn't. What dye is it?
From MB? No, can't break stacks if it's on MB. All or nothing, sadly.
Also you might want to get a crafter and gatherer to 30 so you can make your own dyes from pigments.
Crafters are in general great for glamourers
Want a piece of glam? Just craft it yourself.
is glamour dispel only for one item or can you use one dispeller to get rid of everything?
Also can you switch between different glamour plates at no cost?
one per item for the dispeller
and yes you can freely swap between glamour plates as long as you're in a city
Hey was wondering how do you get dreadwyrm totems for the bahamut weapons they look nice
Those are from Ultimate Coil, a level 70 duty which is one of the hardest raids in the game.
Clear The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate), one of the three hardest pieces of content in the game.
No wayyy lmao😭
It will realistically take months of progression and learning with a static raid group.
Make your dreams reality tho
You can get non-glowy versions of the weapons from Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4
which is vastly easier.
Do people still run it then? I realize it’s old content
What are allagan tomestones of allegory and phantasmagoria used for?
Specifically, it's one of the three Ultimates which have compulsory level sync.
People still do old Ultimates yeah
So ultimates are higher than savage?
they are still at a similar level of challenge to when they first came out, and are still a status symbol to have cleared.
@rare karma They're spent in Eulmore for level 80 gear.
Yes
Yes.
Ultimates are the hardest pieces of content in the hard
I c thx
Significantly harder than savage
Even if you got a small DPS boost with the ShB overhaul they're still significantly tough
One mistake pretty much leads to a wipe
They're also really long fights by comparison.
And they're long fights
Damnnn
yeah, 16-20 minutes
15-20 minutes depending on the fight
Coil is particularly long
not factoring in wipes and prog
Multiple phases too, with no checkpoints.
Ok I’ve never raided before in this game but it takes 20 mins to do the ultimate coil?
Assuming you run them 4 hours a night following a guide, I'd say maybe a week or two assuming you have a static who works well together
It's a 20 minute fight with close to zero room for error, yeah
Progging it takes months
100 hours doing what exactly
@wheat hazel You have to remember that when we say "raid" we're talking about a single-boss instance with no pre-clear trash.
Progging
Ultimate is on its own tier of difficulty. Do not derive the difficulty of the original content based on their ultimate
Wiping and progression
solving
And learning
i..e practicing, learning, throwing yourself at it and wiping over and over and getting a bit further each time hopefully
or lapsing backwards :^)
You're NOT one shooting the fight
The time spent is just fighting the boss.
Unless you're a fucking god gamer
Oh shit okay that’s very interesting
Take ultimate Alexander.
You have 4 phases with 5 bosses
I thought I could just watch a YouTube video and jump in haha
Hell no
haahhaah
Nope
There's always going to be a learning curve.
Add like 100+ hours onto that video
You can watch a video, and you won't even understand half the things are happening on screen
The curve for Ultimate is just way steeper
Ultimate is several orders of magnitude harder than extreme primals.
And maybe you'll be on phase 3 of 5
Okay I actually like that I want to be able to master it but don’t know where to start for practice like to get into even easy raids or even prepare to raid in general
There is, of course, always the option of buying your clears.
Ultimates aren't for the faint of heart
Do Extreme Trials.
Then do savage trials.
Then find group to do Ultimates
Not necessarily RMT
That's literally RMT
Gil is also a valid currency.
So trials is the best way to start then?
no but wouldnt it require themlogging your acc for something like ultimates
thats still against tos
yea extreme trails
trials
Buying a clear for in game currency is not against ToS
I'd say we shouldn't argue what is and isn't RMT and ToS legal here
Letting someone else log onto your account is tho
EX trials is your kiddy pool before you attempt swimming cross the ocean that is Ultimate
shoo, take it to PMs or something
rmt is real money trading, no real money no rmt
And what’s the endgame content people are running now? To set a goal for myself
Right now it's Savage Eden floors 5 to 8
For the 500+ gear
Savage raiding is typically considered the "endgame" for high end content for the majority of players.
eden 5-8
Primarily savage and occasionally you'll see some statics recruiting for ultimates
While people are still running TEA(the current ultimate) for the status symbol
(it's technically old content but it's still the most current ultimate)
the TEA weapons are so ugly though wtf
I seen edenverse and edensgate assuming they aren’t the same right
No
Nope
edensgate is the tier before
Different tier of Eden raid
They are not the same
TEA weapons are really cool looking though? They're shiny and stuff.
is it worth farming tomestones to get shire armour, or should I not bother?
Eden gate is referred as E1-E4
Edenverse is E5-E8
Ahhhh okay
Its thr best gear at 60 thats easy to gey
I was just not a, fan of most of the Shire weapons and I think the glow is kinda tacky
You should get shire gears, they are the best at lvl 60.
@frozen karma Definitely do farm tomes for Shire gear and to upgrade it.
Shire is the best gear at 60 and it lasts until level 63-65
So Eden raids in general are the new endgame stuff
Just save poetics on the side as you do your MSQ
I mean I'm not even at the end of the heavensward story so
Read what I said
Then save poetics
I already have the creed set from paladin quest, I do roulette every day anyway for ezpz level up lmao
Eden's Verse, Ruby Weapon EX, and Memoria Misera EX are the current end game content, yes @wheat hazel
There’s so much content omg 😂😂 love it and overwhelmed
what's the ilvl of the end of heavensward? Cause I might just save the stones for lvl70 poetics armour lmao
You can't get lvl 70 poetics armor until you finish Stormblood story
(which only drops from Alexander)
For their respective level
Just get the shire gear and saved yourself from gearing between lvl 60-65 
oh ok yeah then I will get stones lmao
@frozen karma You will overcap poetics long before you get to the end of Stormblood and can buy the Scaevan set.
Especially if you're doing daily roulettes.
Are those poetics useless once you hit 80
Nope, you can use them to buy gear for other jobs, as well as to purchase a variety of crafting materiel and other sundry items.
Even when you are completely done
!faq Poetics
You can use poetics to buy items to sell for gils
Demicrystal can be bought with poetics, and AFAIK, their only purpose is to for you to sell them for gils
A full list of everything useful you can buy with Poetics and their used
You can also buy the previous tier of gear for glamours
Oh nice tyyy
so the hellfire set if you like that's look
Also, you need 1000 poetics to purchase the items needed to get any level 80 Relic weapon beyond your first.
If you are doing the ARR or HW relic weapons for glamour
You'd wish that you can have more poetics
Basically, tons of uses for poetics
what about the lvl70 job quest armour isn't that even better than 260 from shire gear?
or do you need stormblood story for that?
Yes. Shire is replaced at 63/65
And yes you need to be in stormblood foe its
Like you needed to be in heavensward for 50-60 job quests

63 means stormblood story right?
Yes
ah so I still got a while to go, I have still a whole chapter of heavensward anda ll of dragonsong to go
Almost everything is gated by
progression, this include gearing
It is not possible, AFAIK, to just skip gearing by grinding job levels
may i enquire where to get aesthetic clothing ?
marketboard mainly
can be.
okok thanks for the help!
Everything can be used for glamour
A lot of higher level Dungeons have themed armor designs
Glamour can come from anywhere really, dungeons, market, mogstation (cash shop), id say for now worry about lvling and progressing story since most stuff is locked behind it
don't worry about glamour yet
If you complete hall of Novice, you can get a pretty good functional gear that looks nice
Another early source of decent looking gear would be through your Grand Company
ohhh
Everything else in game only start to look good from lvl 40+ onward tbh
Just enjoy the game and slowly rise to greatness in the story
There are a bunch of lvl 1 glamour items on the marketboard but ofc they can be pricey
No harm in looking, some of the Eureka stuff might be cheap because they are so common
True
Do take note that applying glamour cost glamour prism
Which you need to buy from Marketboard, craft yourself, or buy from your GC
thanks for the advice
Have fun

is there a sword and shield that belongs with the creed set?
centurio seals come from clan hunt but is that still available?
apparently you need to finish your grand company hunting log
and then unlock it
Yes its still around, theres some dailies and weekly that you can do solo and theres always hunt trains for A and S ranks posted on discord servers
wow what great timing I just joined the server hoping to find that exact thing
I guess this might be silly, but outside of reporting someone for harassment, is there anything else I can do about what I'd almost want to call a stalker at this point? I was in their FC, but left because of personal reasons, and they basically just keep showing up. When I started my own FC, I went plot hunting (oh the joys), and they'd turn up at every plot, which was okay - could have been there for the plot, other than the fact that they'd just stare, targeting me. but now that I have my own plot, they've shown up at least 3 times now, just staring / targeting and not really saying anything.
guess it's silly, and I can just turn off estate teleportation and the like, but still. wish I could block them, but I'd almost be afraid of the avalanche of shit that would cause. Maybe this is more for #rants than anything 
At lv70, how do I properly use perfect combo mid fight?
I know it for the opening but mid fight theres a lot more going on, timers already running etc
Spam dragon kick and bootshine
Using one snap punch/demolish to refresh greased lightning
Maybe twin snakes if needed
That simple huh? Can do
where can i find a compiled list of mounts
oh no ill never get my fat black chocobo mount now

@jolly sorrel theoretically, boot+PB then DK, twin, boot, DK, demolish, boot, PB falls off, DK
iirc
if you hit twin on the combo immediately before, drop the twin in that and sub for an extra boot/DK
if there is an other tank, should I keep stance on or off?
It's helpful if you turn your stance on like 20 seconds into the fight (or whenever) so that you'll be 2nd on the enmity list if the MT dies
but this also means keeping a constant eye on the enmity list to Shirk or turn stance off if you're about to overtake the MT
Realistically, there's very little danger in just keeping your stance off, as long as you're ready to Provoke and take over if the MT dies, but it may conceivably bother people who want it done "correctly"
Salutations, I'm brand new to MMORPGs. This currently my first one, I've watched some videos and read up on it online. I'm just curious if there's any extra tips I did know? I play on the PS4 and I'm in the healer roll.
!faq newplayertips
Auhh thank youuuu!! I didn't see this yesterday 😅
Is there a big enough incentive to do non-moogle tribe quests in ARR/HW ? (I maxed ixal and got all my doh jobs >50)
Combat beast tribes for heavensward are a good source of daily xp
@next steppe All I can really say is that if you're being harassed, you should report them for harassment. The behavior you've described is not OK.
@vagrant copper yeah I had, about two weeks ago or so, but nothing really came of it so I thought I'd ask here. they're outside the FC house right now, just afk'ing, or they keep changing positions whenever I come back, did it yesterday too, but watched from a higher plot instead
@proud willow oh okay thank you!
I just logged in for the day changed to BTN and I have 322 GP, wtf why?
@fallen swallow I highly suggest buying a cheap keyboard! you can plug it on the ps4 and it will be a lot faster to type..
I'm on the Legend of the Not-So-Hidden Temple solo instance, playing as Bard. Are the NPCs not supposed to heal me? I'm pretty sure Y'shtola is a WHM, right?
She's a black mage in Shadowbringers
One of the Vieras act as a healer
the healers are Urianger and alphinaud
If you're in the stealth section still i dont believe you have her
Only there during the last half
So far, I haven't been able to
Got spotted in both rooms
First time I could just beat them, but then the second time, my health was sapped super quickly
can you accept the quest Color Your World as lvl 15 BTN?
lodestone just says "Any Class or Job Lv. 15 "
awesome 😄 thanks! wife went all out on BTN and she's like 24 and her archer is 10 xD but she wants to do the glamour stuff
she's literally running from black shroud over there now lol
@tidal yarrow typing for like the shout chat??
I don't know how you will approach the game. but since the first day I was on, I loved interacting with people. there is direct messaging, or different types of chats
so since I first started on controller it was so slow to type and then I realized so many ppl from ps4 actually have a keyboard plugged in to chat
and then I completely switched to m&k also to play but that is just preference, the game overall is fine also on controller
There a Crystal / Mateus discord available? I'm looking for a FC 🤔

What stats does MCH want on their food, I see no Dexterity bonuses.
Do they want Crit? Determination?
Stuffed cabbage
Yea I fall behind in the chats alot. 😅 thanks so much @tidal yarrow I'll look into getting a keyboard! I've never played with one before but it could be fun to try
If you need the extra skill speed then Sausages
I make Eft Steak atm, also pretty easy to make.
If need speed: sausages and sauerkraut. Otherwise Stuffed Highlander cabbage
For MCH
how do you add the "wait" time in the same line of a macro?
which floors of potd do people farm for exp?
51-60
thank you!
stuck on the mad kings trove what do i do
Isnt that just run Skalla
search the ruins on the loch floor
Look for glowing crystal things
And head towards them
There's a hole you can go into
The thing is underwater and you need to dive
Its around where there's glowing crystals
I believe
how do you dive
Ctrl + spacebar is the default command to dive if you forgot
ctrl+space is the buttons by default assuming you're in deep enough water
Though you have had to do it before this point in the MSQ
Or on a flying mount you just fly directly down into the water
Howdy, just bought FFXIV and expansions today. I am an English-speaking player who lives in the EU. My question is, what would be the best data-center for an English speaking person? Also, is there an English server? (choices for EU are Light vs Chaos)
for your fist Job, you should get all the exp you need from the main story
it can be useful later for grinding out other jobs
Can a tank instantly make the boss target him after reviving?
@echo copper Datacenter won't really matter. Aside from Shiva which has a predominantly German-speaking community, the vast majority of servers on both EU datacenters have large English-speaking communities.
The boss was targeting me after I revived the tank and then I died
they can if Provoke is off cooldown
ok
@mossy tartan Once the res animation finishes, yes.
A while ago I asked about fishing and got confirmed that one ! always corresponds to patient hookset, and two or three !!! always corresponds to powerful hookset.
I recently found ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com, and it shows plenty of fish that display three !!! but still recommends patient hookset for it.
Which is correct?
Powerful for !! and !!!
This contradicts with that though
or various others
@open coral thank you!
Is teamcraft using some sort of automated system that glitched and shows patient hookset wrongly?
i dont know, datamining or something
Just playing the game then my music and sound just die on me
Out of the blue, what happened?
some sections of the msq have music turned off due to the situation of the story
without further information though, its hard to tell if that was the case or if your game was experience technical difficulties
I think it's experiencing difficulties
Mid-way through Praetorium
It just stops, out of nowhere. It's been 2 hours and I can't even hear the dialogue nor game music
Some of praetorium's cutscenes don't have voice over or music.
I finished the Ultima Weapon quest and all now
how does the music on private chambers work? can I chose from a limited list or..?
It's just, not playing anything. I can hear my chrome and other apps just fine
Its only possible to join a fc if their home server is the same as mine correct?
What about sound effects and such? Or is it all audio?
@rare karma Correct. Same world only for FCs.
Ok thx just wanted to confirm thank you
It's every audio
Check settings? Restart the game?
Did you plug in headphones or anything like that while the game was running?
@fallen swallow no worries.. same! actually you can use controller to play and keyboard just to type! many do this
@tidal yarrow If you have an Orchestrion (furnishing item), you can set a playlist of 5 or 6 songs from the Orchestrion Scrolls you've added to your personal collection.
Otherwise you're stuck with the default music
I'm still very new.. like not considering the way you can get them, can you use any song you want or there is like a limited pool?
If you open your menu you can view the entire list of available songs and how to obtain them under "Orchestrion Collection" in the Collections tab.
Most music tracks in the game are obtainable as an orchestrion roll.
There are many.
You can't import music from outside the game, if that's what you're wondering about, but as Lyon said, pretty much every track in the game has a corresponding orchestrion roll.
Hi guys I'm new to the game,can you tell me please that if I buy ffxiv shadowbringers I buy all the other DLCs?
Yes, if you purchase the Shadowbringers expansion, you will also have access to Heavensward and Stormblood.
Ok very well thank you all
However the Shadowbringers expansion alone does not include the base game, you'll have to buy that separately.

Can I do the stormblood job quests after I finish the heavensward main campaign, or do I need to do the whole epilogue as well?
you have to be into stormblood to do the stormblood job quests
Some job quests, if not all of them, will need you to have access to Stormblood maps
oh right yeah that makes sense
Does Surface Slap work for only the next fish, or for the entire fishing session?
!action surface slap
Prevent hooking the same fish you just caught. Has no effect on some fish.
Duration: 15s
Effect ends after hooking a fish. Cancels current mooching opportunity.
Overwrites the effect of Identical Cast upon execution.
likely only the next fish since the buff will expire afterwards
its unlikely you can get 2 catches off in that time
due to animations and what not as well
Huh. theres plenty of fish that dont bite within 15 seconds though.. perhaps its active during the cast, not the catch?
it works like patience from what i can tell
if you're already midcast the buff doesn't fall off until you catch something
Alright, thanks
How many dollars does cost a monthly subscription to the game?

please do so in #kupo-bot-spam if you're looking for them @leaden ginkgo
can you dye stuff in your glamour drawer?
Yes you can @frozen karma
also can you wear stuff from other classes as glamour?
No
can you wear stuff from a higher level as glamour?
Only items which are equippable by your current class will display as glamour
No, you cannot glamour a higher-level item appearance over a lower-level item
For crafting questions do i post them here?
I'm working on getting into ishgard restoration
If I have 5 duty roulette things, and I do all of them, why don't I level up 5 times?
do they stop working at some point?
Duty roulette rewards are once daily
Is there any difference between the different GCs?
Or it doesn’t matter what we pick?
I was doing them earlier and if it has the blue arrow it should work right?
@leaden ginkgo Only that Twin Adders is the best!
They dont all offer the same amount of rewards
I mean, that’s my first option XD
If you try to do them again the same day you will see the “reward already received” notice in the duty finder window
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies
Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.
I do not know what blue arrow you mean
You should only run each roulette once daily.
Levelling roulette offerd more XP than trial, guildhest nd 50/60/70
Leveling, alliance and Main Scenario roulette are the good ones for exp
And Trials because it’s short
That doesn't show an arrow, just static rewarss
The daily bonus shows the arrow to show it scales to your level
what is a aetherflow gauge and how do you tell how much you have?
It shows your aetherflow
your job gauge should be on your screen
How many lights are lit show how much you have
It tells you in the job gauge description how it works
oh so it's just a ton of exp, not a guaranteed lvl up?
Each pip is one aetherflow resource and lets you cast one aetherflow action.
what is the ornate version of gear good for? I know you get it from wondrous tails, but as far as i can tell there doesn't seem to be a difference to the "normal" version of that gear?
stats
aaah okay, that makes sense
Instead of 2 (3 if overmelding)
thanks
can the shire stuff by dyed?
can the shire stuff by dyed?
@frozen karma yes after you augment it
what about the creed armour from paladin job quest?
!faq afgeardye
A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.
Heavensward i200 set: Done in Idyllshire by talking to Seika at x7, y7. The materials needed to augment the gear are buyable with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.
Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.
Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.
Also needs to be augmented
Is there any Free Company with open position for novices? I am willing to learn and help. I am currently in City-State of Gridania, Hades(Mana).
how do you get the hyperconductive weapons?
do the anima relic weapon quest
You have to complete the quest series, then you can get replicas of each stage
after you get the hyperconductive you can just buy it
the whole series?
I'm pretty sure? If it works the same way as zodiac ones. I'm doing the anima quest rn so I haven't checked yet, but zodiac you can't get replicas til the whole series's finished
zodiac is the only one that requires you to complete the chain in its entirety to get previous step's replicas
anima/eureka, you simply need to have completed the appropriate step to get its replica
woop, my bad
guys im thinking of making a healer so what should i pick. i kinda like the scholar since i level summoner but i really like the look of astro but i heard its the most complex but im a pretty quick learner
ah okay
scholar is harder than ast imo
for a different reason
also its not even that complex
Can I solo level 70 8 man map dungeons?
Outside mobs yes
I have BiS
Inside no
not all the way to the end
Cause the portals sync
ah darn
what's the earliest anima weapon that glows?
do you need to finish heavensward for that?
yes
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/fxi5wp/memoria_miseria_ex_macro/ so when i use this macro, does the macro put the markers down for me?
you can save the marks
it's a macro for people to call positions for mechanics
ohhh
can you dye the sword/shield of the round?
no
So do Commendations do anything or are they pure ePeen markers?
you get titles and mounts when you get enough of them
Thanks
They are one of the requirements to becoming a mentor as well in game @leaden ginkgo

for relic weapons, do I only need to start at the beginning of the quest chain, or are there multiple entry points for different weapons? also is relic weapon bis up to this patch?
Is there a website where I can look how various piece of gear look on a particular character ? like a dresser ?
I want to test out some outfits before I change my race
@pastel sparrow you start at the beginning
Ty
and they're not
oh .o.
older relics are glam
Hey! Sorry if I'm repeating myself with these kinds of questions but since I bought the complete edition of FFXIV I'd like to know where I can redeem it and IF I can redeem it since it's a physical copy. I'd like to redeem it for the free trial whoops sorry if the question is long
Relics are BiS at the end of the expansion
not edenchoir?
Take the code you're given and put into Mogstation
The Promotional Code?
Any code you get given goes to Mogstation
All right! Thanks
Edenchoir is current bis because it gets ilvl505 but it won't be by expansion end
also little tip @leaden ginkgo if you subscribe to the game in the future, find a friend who plays ffxiv and use their friend referral code before subbing. I mean, it's not a big deal (I don't think) but it's nice to have I guess?
Is there a website where I can look how various piece of gear look on a particular character ? like a dresser ?
@oblique delta you can check out Garlandtools for the 3d model viewer or gamerescape has most gear pieces with pictures of them on every race. Also eorzea collection you can filter certain races and glams afaik
thanks
if I buy the starter edition from the square enix store, do I get a physical thing?
right but
Delivery Status: Preparing order
Delivery status of your physical products
I don't get a key
FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online - Starter Edition [PC]
so you didnt by the pc download
if it doesn't say (pc download) its the physical version
What the fuck
i don't know where you found the physical version
because i dont see it listed on the store
where is the PC download
i scrolled down?
there's a filter to the side that lets you select PC Download
should have been
Why the fuck did it link me to a physical version of the starter edition? Why would they even have a physical version of this?
because some people like physical copies of games?
it's a starter edition?
there's no physical copy of the DLC afaik? the physical copy is starter
there is physical copies of shadowbringers
is it in the same store? (asking for me)
yes
yes
this is just terrible, the entire website is terrible
I had to repurchase the starter edition because my Steam account apparently doesn't have any characters anymore
and I can't resubscribe because the steam button is broken and it won't let me do it with a credit card
can you not do it through crysta
hey so when I go to the Gerolt npc for relic weapon quest, it only shows the quests for other my classes and not astrologian? also there is no class quest link underneath my MSQ banner in the top corner so im assuming I finished them all? (I don't remember because I haven't played AST in a long while)
did you switch to ast
yeah
i think so. I haven't done any relics before
is it lvl 50
my class? I'm lvl 80 ast
no the quest
oo yes the other ones are
relic weapons are only for jobs that were around for that level cap
ah
so zodiac is only for ARR jobs, anima is arr+hw jobs, etc
yep
I'm a lil confused now, how do I jump from here to the start of ast relic? I just go to a different npc?
go to Rowena in idyllshire
the wiki page is confusing me I mean. not u guys lol
should be a quest
the anima relic's unlock quest is from rowena ins idyllshire
Tyvm
168hrs played and completion of the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes" (lvl 70)
given they're a new player, and said its been like a month
i assume they're talking about sprout
and not returner status
cos returner status is removed within like 2 days or so. it doesn't last long at all
I just started playing FFXIV a few days ago and I'm typically a support player. I'm trying to focus playing white mage but from what i've seen as far as end game rotations it seems like my rotations will be really complex. Would it be better for me to keep playing it to get muscle memory or try something else first?
healers don't really have rotations
Healers don't really get rotations so much
It's just put dot up when you have to and spam your one or two attacks
also white mage is the easiest healer
And heal when necessary
