There is a limit on players inside houses but it's very high.

junior yacht
#

the simple version is that you're never gonna hit 100%

#

so more stats is always better

#

as long as you don't go over the cap on individual pieces of gear

jade quartz
#

I remember hearing about A Stage Reborn--a group that does ingame theatre performances--having trouble with people not being able to get in/getting kicked out or something after a certain number

#

100 for a small cottage or something?

ripe meteor
#

whys is it that a dyed item in my glamour chest doesnt show as being dyed in other plate numbers while other items do?

#

is this a bug or something

#

chest pc is jet black on plate 9 but when i go to plate 1 and use it tis normal again

obsidian patio
#

sounds like you dyed the plate and not the item itself

ripe meteor
#

oh is that how that works?

twilit arch
#

did you dye the chest on the plate or the item itself in the dresser?

ripe meteor
#

oh wow thats stupid lol

twilit arch
#

because if you dye the item on the plate, it just dyes it for that plate

jade quartz
#

it allows for flexibility.

proud willow
#

Right, you can do it either way

jade quartz
#

You may wish to have an item dyed differently on different plates

#

all without overwriting the expensive dye you have saved to it in the base dresser.

ripe meteor
#

wack guess i need to take it out and re dye it and put it back in then

jade quartz
#

You can dye the item in the dresser inventory directly without taking it out.

crimson wind
#

What's the BLM leveling rotation command?

proud willow
#

!faq blmleveling

#

If I have a costume I want to put over my current gear, do I need to dye that costume first in order for the new colour to be displayed after I put it over my current gear ?

proud willow
#

you can dye it afterward if you want

#

but you'll have to dye it again every time you apply the outfit

#

It'd be more convenient to dye the outfit first

drifting atlas
#

I see, thanks.

Hello! My wife (ps4) and I (PC) are about to start our first FF14 playthrough, and I wanted to reach out to see if there's a good combination to do together?

I personally wanted to play the card healing class.

obsidian patio
#

in terms of leveling up together, I'd say just to not do double tank or double healer as you won't be able to queue up for dungeons together.

#

besides that, any class combination will do

#

Also for Astrologian, you won't be able to start as it as the job is locked behind completing the base game story and reaching Ishgard in the first expansion

earnest summit
#

Is there a class that's generally easier to play for a non-gaming gamer?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of general simplicity my go-to recommendations are Marauder for tanking, Conjurer for healing, Lancer for melee DPS, Archer for Ranged DPS, and Thaumaturge for Magic DPS

sullen pulsar
#

if you level to 70 with a tome. How do you join a grand company

obsidian patio
#

still through the story.

Hi, I had a question about chocobo training in the stables at houses. My free company has a stable and I just finally got my chocobo. I attempted training my chocobo and it looked like it might have done something, but I'm not entirely sure. Do I need to keep my chocobo in the stable for training to effect it, or can I take it with me right away?

I believe I have to keep it in there for 6 hours before it changes color based off of what I could find, but I'm not trying to focus on color right now. Thanks in advance. 😄

obsidian patio
#

if you bought a story skip you're automatically put in the grand company where your starting class is based off of.

sullen pulsar
#

my friend also bought the story advancement to catch up to us

obsidian patio
#

so starting as a Pugilist/Thaumaturge/Gladiator you are automatically put in the Immortal Flames since they're in Ul'dah

sullen pulsar
#

to you automatically join the one in starting city

#

so

#

ah

obsidian patio
#

@molten temple you fed it the wrong food. You fed it food for dyeing your chocobo, not training.

gloomy ice
#

@molten temple If you've fed it a krakka root (carrot shaped food) then you can take it right back out. If you're changing its color with fruits, then yeah, you have to wait for six hours.

sullen pulsar
#

thanks guys

dense pier
#

Is enmity rank a indicator of DPS for damage dealers?

obsidian patio
#

other foods that give your chocobo experience are:
Curiel Root
Sylkis Buds
Mimett Gourd
Tantalplant
Pahsana Fruit

#

yes and no

molten temple
#

So, I fed it a "curiel root" - is that training food?

obsidian patio
#

yep

molten temple
#

Okay, so if I fed it one of those, does it need to stay in the stables? 😮

obsidian patio
#

nope

molten temple
#

Okay, thank you! 😄

slate arrow
#

@dense pier rankings yes, generally, unless the healers are doing a shitton of healing in a small period of time

obsidian patio
#

Using enmity as a way to gauge DPS does work to a degree, but it's really only accurate in single-target fights where enmity doesn't reset and if no one dies

sharp tapir
#

anybody sell food in Revenant's Toll? or am I blind

verbal token
#

anybody know if gametime code expire after purchase? i dont wanna activate it until 5.3

vagrant copper
#

codes should never expire

earnest summit
#

I'm hearing warrior/scholar

verbal token
#

ty

little swift
#

I'm hearing warrior/scholar
@earnest summit you won't be able to start as scholar right away, it upgrades from the arcanist base class. but this is also a really good idea still because marauder (warriors base class) and arcanist (scholar/summoner base) both start in the same starting city

obsidian patio
#

@sharp tapir not that I know of

little swift
#

that way you guys can basically play together from the start

earnest summit
#

Yeah that's what I'm hearing, that's a big has to

obsidian patio
#

tbh the level 1-15 story goes by super fast since it's basically a mini-tutorial on general MMO stuff

earnest summit
#

marauder/arcanist it is then- however would I be able to play the card healing class eventually? I heard some classes share levels

obsidian patio
#

only Summoner and Scholar share levels since they have the same base class of arcanist

little swift
#

only arcanist shares its levels with summoner and scholar

obsidian patio
#

but yes you can unlock all classes on a single character.

sharp tapir
#

thanks man

#

the food market is a front then

#

smh

little swift
#

you can unlock astrologian once you reach heavensward (the first expansion) of the game

earnest summit
#

So basically I'll have to start that class at level 1 when I get there?

little swift
#

astro starts at level 30

earnest summit
#

Well that'll work I suppose

dusky creek
#

guys ffxiv has it own launcher or no?

sharp tapir
#

yes it does

serene trellis
#

Hey I just started playing this game. I went with Archer because I always like playing ranger class. Should I just follow the main story in the beginning to level or is there something else I should be doing?

vagrant copper
#

That's pretty much it. Focusing on msq and bluequest will take you pretty far

obsidian patio
#

make sure to keep up on your class quests as it unlocks your job, free gear, and actions

serene trellis
#

Ok so the class quests are from the archers guild?

sharp tapir
#

don't be this guy

obsidian patio
#

yep

#

for the job quests they move around a bit but for the base game quests are in the south shroud

spare plinth
#

i'm looking at the astrologian guide. although the artifact armor looks pretty, i heard it's the hardest healer. is it hard because you have to keep drawing for buffs?

serene trellis
#

Thanks guys I wasn't expecting an answer so quick haha

spare plinth
#

also i just hit black mage (level 31), and i want to reach 35 (the end level for free trial). would potd help or it wouldn't since free trial can only go to floor 10

obsidian patio
#

floors 1-10 are still pretty decent experience as the exp reward scales up to level 60.

magic light
#

you don't have access to ast in trial ver

spare plinth
#

ik, i'm just looking at it for fun

obsidian patio
#

as for your astro question, i'd say part of the difficulty comes from needing to quickly react to your draws in order to cleanly get through your opener

spare plinth
#

im curious about astrologian

vagrant copper
#

Anything with rng as a factor is going to be difficult IMO

magic light
#

after leveling ast... my experience was...

obsidian patio
#

I've been a bit turned off of Astrologian for Shadowbringers due to the card changes making it more annoying for controller players to quickly and efficiently use cards without clipping your GCD

magic light
#

"Where did my mana go? why is it in triple digits?" a lot more frequent. I had more mana issues and I'm a lot more comfier leveling my last class, WHM easier.

dusky creek
#

MHMM guys im new new to the game which class is the easiest to play and fun?>

olive inlet
#

hello quick question here, anyone know if its possible to get back an armor coffer that you previously discarded?

obsidian patio
#

nope

#

but depending on the exact coffer you can rebuy the armor pieces that would be inside it from the calamity salvager.

#

@dusky creek

In terms of general simplicity my go-to recommendations are Marauder for tanking, Conjurer for healing, Lancer for melee DPS, Archer for Ranged DPS, and Thaumaturge for Magic DPS

olive inlet
#

ohh i see. im looking for the hellfire armor coffer. not sure if itll b there but i think i can take a look

#

thank you!

obsidian patio
#

unfortunately no then

olive inlet
#

ohh damn

obsidian patio
#

But if you have spare tomestones of poetics you can spend them on Shire gear in Idyllshire

#

which is stronger than the hellfire stuff

olive inlet
#

oh i just thought the boots of that set looked cool for glam haha

obsidian patio
#

👌

olive inlet
#

thank you tho!

obsidian patio
#

hellfire is also buyable with poetics from the same vendor in idyllshire

olive inlet
#

oh! i didnt know that

#

i see it now, thanks a bunch :)

tulip plover
#

Ok so i unlocked demolish pugilist fun ag

#

Af

molten spruce
#

where can i see the full maiming sets available to date?

#

on internet ppl only show the weapon or chest piece

warped nest
#

You can just try on them in game...?

#

Unless you aren't there yet

molten spruce
#

not there

#

im lvl 35

warped nest
#

In-game way: ask someone who can go to Eulmore and view the gear to party with you. Have them link the item name in party chat for you to try on

Outside method A: some website do manually gather and take pictures of these gears. If they don't have, it means they are working on it.

Outside method B: look for reddit thread with the datamined stuff

little swift
#

sadly its all japanese if you can't read

molten spruce
#

thankss

#

damn thats sexy

#

pls dont tell me its a raid on highest difficulty

twilit arch
#

its the elemental gear, you can do it by doing Eureka which is lvl 70 content

#

not really difficult, just time consuming

dense pier
#

Very time consuming

molten spruce
#

whats eureka

warped nest
#

Lvl 70 endgame content

#

You go inside a big map to kill stuff and farm crystals

slate arrow
#

you also can't unsync it

molten spruce
#

what is that

gloomy ice
#

Eureka is best explained as a slice of FFXI transplanted into XIV

white ether
#

Well I switched from ps4 to PC and if I buy the game again do I have to play it or will the subscription wait till I boot up the game again?

gloomy ice
#

With, uh... varying results.

molten spruce
#

but what is unsync

gloomy ice
#

Alright so when you go into a dungeon roulette and your skills get taken down to the level of the dungeon? That's syncing. Unsyncing is exactly what it sounds like. Going into a dungeon or trial without those limits.

twilit arch
#

applying the starter edition or complete edition to your account for a platform you don't already own it on will give you 30 days free, so you'll have that before you have to pay for a sub but those days start ticking down the moment you apply the code to your account @white ether

molten spruce
#

so basically by unsync you can absolutely destroy a lvl 16 dungeon

gloomy ice
#

Pretty much yeah

molten spruce
#

ohhh

gloomy ice
#

But Eureka forces you to be level 70 no matter what

molten spruce
#

but that gear is lvl 70 what if i want to do lvl 80 stuff

#

and i want to look like that

tulip plover
#

Does demolishes damage buff have a symbol?

gloomy ice
#

There isn't really anything equivalent to the Elemental armor as far as I can recall.

#

In terms of looks that is

molten spruce
#

cant i copy the looks of it with the crystal that msq gives u?

white ether
#

@twilit arch sowhen I buy the game on steam it won't start up a subscription till I add it to my account?

cold shore
twilit arch
#

yes

white ether
#

Tysm 🥺🥺🥺🥺

gloomy ice
#

@tulip plover Demolish is a DoT skill and not a damage buff. It does give you a Greased Lightning stack however so that icon will light up. As for the DoT effect, it's a tiny version of the skill icon in the enemies debuff list (under their HP bar by default).

obsidian patio
#

@molten spruce yes you can glamour the elemental gear

#

pretty much all equipment in the game can be used for glamour besides belts, which don't have a model

molten spruce
#

ahhh thank goddd

#

how do i level my crafting and gathering? quests?

#

like the class quests

gloomy ice
#

Levequests are arguably the fastest. Ishgard Restoration is the other contender.

crimson wind
#

Is Idealized BiS in any cases? They have 5 materia slots

obsidian patio
#

only the tank headpieces are

gloomy ice
#

A couple tank helmets, I heard. Unsure which. Also uncertain if that's a meme or not. But considering melded 480 is in some cases better than 490 Crystarium, I'd believe it.

crimson wind
#

huh

obsidian patio
#

remember that you're also giving up primary stats in exchange for using the idealized stuff

#

So they really only beat out Augmented Crystarium/Edenchoir stuff if the secondary stats on them are very poor while the idealized item has very good secondaries

molten spruce
#

in msq a guy is telling me to bring him a hammer yet nothing pops up in map as to where i can get it

dusky creek
#

mhm guys which eu server has most population

#

?

valid rose
#

look in your journal. it should tell you there

little swift
#

Pick it up from the local vendor

twilit arch
#

Assuming you're talking about "With a little elbow grease" msq, he tells you that you can buy the hammer from one of the merchants at camp drybone

little swift
#

A bronze ornamental hammer

molten spruce
#

ahhhhh

little swift
#

Right?

molten spruce
#

yes

valid rose
#

sometimes the MSQ will not tell you on your map because it all ready did.

molten spruce
#

i skip text on fillers

#

i cant find the merchant here

little swift
#

Hes inside one of the buildings

molten spruce
#

found it, thxx

smoky girder
#

ive been jumping classes a lot lately, and I was wondering if i could get a tip on which class would be best to focus on first to lvl 80. I don't like RNG or a reliance on targeting enemies individually a lot. and I love supporting!

obsidian patio
#

In terms of RNG classes it's mainly just BRD, DNC, RDM, and kinda BLM.

#

And can you specify what you mean by individually targeting enemies?

smoky girder
#

mostly tanks and classes with DOT management

#

so i think that means im not a fan of BRD and SMN

obsidian patio
#

SMN actually does very little manual multi-dotting due to bane

#

!action bane

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Bane** : lvl 30 ACN SMN (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Spreads a target's Bio and Miasma effects to nearby enemies.
Potency is reduced by 60% for all remaining enemies. Duration: Full duration of original effects No effect if target is not suffering from Bio or Miasma effects inflicted by you.

obsidian patio
#

this makes it extremely easy and convenient to do

#

you just do apply dots > bane, and then repeat 30 seconds later if they're still alive.

#

or once you get the trait that makes Bane spread the dots at their full duration regardless of their current duration, you just select a different target to use bane on

warped nest
#

!action Tri-Disaster

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Tri-disaster** : lvl 56 SMN (50.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 300.
Additional Effect: Afflicts target with Bio III and Miasma III Duration: 30s

obsidian patio
#

But it sounds like you'd like most of the melee DPS and Machinist then

#

and maybe BLM depending on how you feel about their procs

#

They get Sharpcast which forces a proc on the next skill that can proc and is on a 30 second recast timer

warped nest
#

I do want to bring up that while Dancer is a whole river of RNG, they do have a lot less skills to deal with

smoky girder
#

ive mostly been running scholar, because ally targeting is easy

warped nest
#

Like 20 skills in total give or take, not including role action

#

Not dots either

smoky girder
#

mechanist is pretty fun though, i got it to 50, does it get support stuff? Yeah, dancer looks and feels cool, but id rather use red mage, since it kinda has the same flow to it, but also has more heals and a rez

warped nest
#

Machinist only support are one group damage reduction ability (which DNC and BRD has, just under different names) and whatever on role actions

molten spruce
#

how do i revive players?

warped nest
#

Are you healer, summoner, or Red Mage?

#

Otherwise, do you have an item called Phoenix down?

smoky girder
#

I should probably not be considering redmage if i want to heal

molten spruce
#

no

warped nest
#

Red Mage don't heal

#

Their healing spell are for solo, or when your tank are in deep shit

molten spruce
#

astrologian pretty nice

warped nest
#

Then you can't revive, if your answers to both questions are no

smoky girder
#

yeah.

molten spruce
#

where do i buy the phoenix down

warped nest
#

Very good question, I don't know

#

Because it is almost never used

#

!item Phoenix Down

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Phoenix Down** **:** Medicine : ilvl 50 [Unique]

*The billowy plumage of the fledgling Phoenix─a legendary bird that, upon each fiery death, is said to rise from its own ashes in a literal “blaze of glory.” When placed upon the body of one who is incapacitated, it will instantly revive the person. While some cultures insist that the tailfeather's restorative properties trump those of down, these claims have yet to be proven in any sort of scientific capacity.

※Cannot be used during battle.*

smoky girder
#

I play healer so much I never even acknowledge them

#

cannot be used during battle,,,

jade quartz
#

yeah phoenix downs aren't really very relevant

#

except for being occasionally helpful in Deep Dungeon

#

but even then it's not required

smoky girder
#

I usually just peace out when I die, unless theres a summoner around

warped nest
#

In open map with other players, if you needed a rez for yourself or your party member, usually a shout will get someone to drop by and do a rez

molten spruce
#

ive never found someone

#

since it has to be a healer it is deemed rare i guess

jade quartz
#

people having a healer leveled isn't rare

smoky girder
#

well at least i narrowed my interest down to darknight, mechanist, white mage, ninja, and scholar. maybe summoner again, but like, it has so many plates its spinning all at once

jade quartz
#

though people may simply be unwilling to go out of their way to help you, as the penalty for being KOed in the overworld is basically nonexistent

warped nest
#

Do it all, lol

jade quartz
#

Someone going out of their way to go and rescue you is basically the same effort as you'd have to undertake by just returning to homepoint and teleporting back where you were.

warped nest
#

Personally, I recommend Ninja over Machinist (comparing only these two) . Scholar/Summoner is essentially a bundle package, so just compare them to the rest as such.

#

Ninja's Ninjutsu, imo, is very satisfying to use

#

And they have very fun animations to enjoy

smoky girder
#

theyre the one that goes "CLANG CLANG" all the time, right? I dont have that class yet

warped nest
#

Yes

#

If it is worth anything... (personal opinion), Dark Knight, White Mage, Ninja has more cool looking weapons compared to the other jobs you have listed

frank ibex
#

anyone know how to switch the clock in the ui to 24h mode?

warped nest
#

If you have the time to, I recommend leveling them all

smoky girder
#

to me, the only cool weapons are the true shiva weapons

crimson wind
#

Goring is 10s right?

hot crane
#

lightning shot is not a commonly used skill for gnb?

obsidian patio
#

Goring Blade is 21 seconds

crimson wind
#

Oh

warped nest
#

!action Lightning Shot

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Lightning Shot** : lvl 15 GNB (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers a ranged attack with a potency of 150.
Additional Effect: Increased enmity

crimson wind
#

So 4 Royal Authority, then refresh Gore?

#

Er, 3

obsidian patio
#

2 royal authority combos then goring

hot crane
#

heard provoke is enough

warped nest
#

Usually, yes

crimson wind
#

Provoke is no damage tho

#

So lightning and other skills like it (Unmend, Shield Lob, Tomahawk) are commonly used for pulling

warped nest
#

When you have done 2 Royal Authority, Goring will drop off right as you refresh it

crimson wind
#

Although some people do gap closer for pulling

warped nest
#

Walking in and using AOE is fine too

crimson wind
#

But Gap Closers aren't as good because if you use an enmity generator, you can center the boss

warped nest
#

You can use Long distance attacks like Lightning shot to hit a target that you cannot get close to atm

crimson wind
#

Well you can center it easily

#

plus Lightning Shot is style points

heavy kettle
#

how do i change servers with the same account?

crimson wind
#

You have to pay for a world transfer

#

Or make an alt

hot crane
#

rough divide + provoke?

crimson wind
#

No

#

Just rough divide is fine

#

No need to provoke

#

Since you have tank stance on

hot crane
#

oh

#

yet sometimes it seems that adds doesnt hate me enough

crimson wind
#

You basically will always have enmity if tank stance is on unless you're doing nothing or terrible

shrewd owl
#

use ur aoe's if ur doing big pulls

hot crane
#

ok

thanks!

thanks a lot! is there a data center/server good for new players? or am i good just going wherever?

As long as they're in your region, any will do. Servers marked as preferred give you a 2x exp booster btw but it isn't required to have it.

vivid wolf
#

does the expansion follow up on the base game, or is it set inbetween?

#

new to the game and wondering if i should get shadowbringers too, or if it can wait

oak ice
#

First you have a bunch of patch quests that finish up the base game story, build the world and then set up the Heavensward plot

#

But a lot of the stuff that is introduced in the base game keeps going through up to and including Shadowbringers

ornate vortex
#

it does take quite a while to get to 50 and finish up the story up to heavensward, so you could go just with the subscription until you're finished with that

#

unless you want some of the extra races/classes

vivid wolf
#

currently playing as lancer, but if i buy shadowbringers, can i just get the new class on the same character?

#

or do i need to start over

ornate vortex
#

it applies to the account, so yes

#

you can get it on the same character

vivid wolf
#

is heavensward even on steam?

#

can only find this

ornate vortex
#

it gives you all expansions

vivid wolf
#

oh so you don't need to buy all seperately?

#

just the final one

ornate vortex
#

damn that's a huge sale, i wish i waited Q_Q

#

gotta lova how steam is drunk

Are the expansions as long as ARR was?

note that if you bought subscription via square enix and not steam, you may not be able to use the code from steam, you might want to look into that

So

#

How do I figure out what collectible(s) to craft?

#

Sure I can craft every one of them... but how do I decide on what to focus and spam?

crystal badger
#

i forgot, but what was the "rotation" of bard songs again
like priority of using them

jade quartz
#

Wanderer's -> Mage's -> Army's -> interrupt Army's to start Wanderer's again as soon as it's available.

#

For AoE situations swap around Mage's and Wanderer's.

crystal badger
#

alrighty

#

thanks

obsidian wren
#

Wanna use wanderers again when army's has 10 sec left on the timer

#

Believe wanderers becomes available again at 20?

#

Not sire

jade quartz
#

nah that's when Wanderer's is available.

#

Songs have an 80s cooldown, each song has 30s duration.

slate crow
#

Pitch black seems kinda meh tho.

#

Is there only the one weapon for Samurai? No shops have any other weapons for it. Same with robes.

jade quartz
#

Pitch Perfect you mean?

#

it's not

#

uhh

#

I'm assuming you must have just unlocked it at 50

slate crow
#

I’m 52. Leveling up is a pain at that point.

jade quartz
#

there are ARR primal weapons, a final coil weapon, and an ironworks weapon.

#

And of course weapons at every point above 50 where most jobs have weapons

#

i.e. dungeon every odd level, crafted every even level

slate crow
#

Partly wishing there were faster ways to level. I have 3 jobs I want to do for their stories + my main job.

jade quartz
#

Do your daily roulettes, then either spam your highest available leveling dungeon

#

or try Palace of the Dead to bypass DPS queue times.

#

There are also daily beast tribe quests which give a good chunk for the time investment

#

plus daily hunts

#

and if all else fails, FATEs

slate crow
#

I gave up on beast quests. I was doing the story for them, but it’s always the same quests and it gets both tedious and boring.

#

How do I unlock Palace of the Dead?

jade quartz
#

Level 17 bluequest "The House That Death Built" in New Gridania's tavern

#

however

#

you first need to unlock up to floor 50 in it, and queues for the lower groups of floors are a bit slow too

#

so there's a slight entry wall.

#

Beast tribes are great to do while waiting for dungeon queues to pop

vivid wolf
#

Any tips for a lvl 13? Currently just grinding through Gridania, don't really know where to look

slate crow
#

Fair enough. And I’ll remember to do that quest. Thanks.

ornate vortex
#

just do the main quest

#

this is the mark for it

#

you get plenty of gear that way

vivid wolf
#

What about sidequests? Wont i end up underleveled?

jade quartz
#

No

ornate vortex
#

not really

jade quartz
#

Sidequests are a garbage exp source.

#

If your main desire is exp, you're better off doing basically anything but sidequests.

ornate vortex
#

do any fate you see along the way tho, they give decent exp

jade quartz
#

ehh.

ornate vortex
#

or don't, idk that much xD

jade quartz
#

If you're on a preferred world then MSQ alone will have you covered all the way to level cap.

slate crow
#

Preferred world? 🤔

ornate vortex
#

i know that i did need to do some dg/fate along the way on a standard world

#

as i couldn't even accept the msq

vivid wolf
#

I guess i shouldnt worry too much about those jobs/professions yet? (Crafting etc)

jade quartz
#

Worlds with the "preferred" status give massive exp bonus to characters created there.

#

Crafting and gathering classes are totally optional.

#

After level 16 (and also caught up to level 16 main story quests) you have access to daily duty roulettes

#

which are a huge exp chunk

#

if you want supplemental stuff.

slate crow
#

I was surprised at how much leveling roulette leveled characters .

jade quartz
#

If you're done with MSQ and leveling a second job, the go-to methods for leveling are:
First do daily roulettes!
then spam highest-level leveling dungeon, or go to Palace of the Dead/Heaven-on-High if you're a DPS and want to bypass long queue times. You also have the hunting log at very low levels, daily beast tribe quests, daily hunt bills, and FATEs if all else fails.

#

Sidequests are not very useful as a source of exp; nor are Battlecraft Levequests.

#

Do make sure to do blue quests though: bluequest

vivid wolf
#

When should i start the second job?

jade quartz
#

These are sidequests that unlock features or content.

#

Whenever you want

#

or, heck, never

slate crow
#

All blues?

pastel sparrow
#

on my first character i leveled to 80 with so much of the MSQ left to do.. it was way too easy. on my alts though i have to do FATES at level 70 to get them to max. my point being it wont be too hard and just do whatever it is you wanna do with jobs

jade quartz
#

You can skip bluequests that unlock other classes/jobs if you aren't interested in playing that class/job.

vivid wolf
#

Currently just running Lancer, aiming for dragoon

#

But i can switch to a different job on the same character, right?

jade quartz
#

Yes

pastel sparrow
#

yep

slate crow
#

Amusing now much of the game I’m noob at despite being a few quests into HW

jade quartz
#

You can play all jobs on a single character, and switch with a click of a button as long as you're not in a dungeon or in combat.

@frozen karma 290 is the baseline gear for level 70, so you should replace it right away

@frozen karma not beyond level 70. Use your Poetics to buy Scaevan gear from the tomestone exchange in Rhalgr's Reach.

I'm only on the second mission of stormblood I was just already lvl70 so I just did all the paladin quests in a row

Are there two or three variants on the passive/aggressive monster icon?

jade quartz
#

Yes, there are variants which vaguely suggest an enemy's strength, but they're largely irrelevant and not really that consistently used.

#

can basically tune them out.

slate crow

It always confused me why they don’t just change the levels on the monsters instead of the fancy icons

do you get a notification before a wedding starts?

I kind of wish those icons would be repurposed to indicate "aggros by sight" vs. "aggros by sound".

how do i switch servers?

#

please help D:

#

with the same account and paying

slate crow
#

I kind of wish those icons would be repurposed to indicate "aggros by sight" vs. "aggros by sound".
@simple shore there’s a difference to his they aggro ?

simple shore
#

Yup.

obsidian wren
#

@heavy kettle as in play on a different character on a different server or to move your existing character to a different server?

simple shore
#

Some enemies will aggro you based on "sound" - which means that if you get anywhere near them, if you are moving above RP-walk speed, they will aggro. Other enemies only aggro based on sight, which means that you can run directly past them as long as they arent facing you.

#

And some enemies, amusingly, are literally blind and only have sound as an aggro

#

and you can walk straight past them

heavy kettle
#

@obsidian wren second one ^^

simple shore
#

regardless of facing

obsidian wren
#

Via the mog station

#

Additional services iirc

#

At the top bar

#

Does cost real money though

heavy kettle

mog station?

obsidian patio

it's where you manage your account and is also the cash shop

It’s like $18, last I checked.

obsidian wren

The place where you can pay your subscription pmuch

change home world?

obsidian patio

yep

obsidian wren
#

Oh

#

Just making sure

#

You do mean to permanently move your character there right

#

And not just visiting a different world?

heavy kettle
#

then is it asking me questions for my character's first and last name or mine irl?

simple shore
#

Not alot of reason to server transfer unless you're switching data centers tbh

heavy kettle
#

ugh, i don't know.

#

x_x

#

i don't know which server i belong best in

#

but i hate the one im in

That doesnt seem like a good basis for spending money, lol

heavy kettle
#

no one RPs in it, and no one's like me at all in the server

obsidian patio
#

You'll want to transfer to balmung or mateus on crystal then.

#

they're the main unofficial RP servers

simple shore
#

"like me" isnt very clear. That said, yeah, Crystal is the "RP Datacenter". Though keep in mind there's tradeoffs with that.

heavy kettle
#

they're not playful/young hearted/fun
don't have similar sense of humor. :C im not judging or anything its just too frustrating

#

thought i was weird, etc

#

idk if that helps at all D: sorry

slate crow
#

If you’re just starting out, why not just create a new character instead of spending real money on it? 🤔

obsidian patio
#

yeah if your character is relatively new you're better off just making a new one instead of paying $18

heavy kettle
#

i'm not willing to start overrr x_x

obsidian patio
#

how far in the story are you?

heavy kettle
#

lvl 18 for main story, though my character's higher

simple shore
#

Best to start over. You've barely even scratched the surface of the initial story.

obsidian patio
#

You can easily get back to that point in 2-3 hours

heavy kettle
#

what? no. i spent literally 33 hours to get there o_o

lime geode
#

Yeah. I "wasted" two hours on the wrong server - the second time is much faster, you'll hardly notice.

heavy kettle
#

im terrible at maps

#

how could you do it in 3? what?

#

xD

obsidian patio
#

By focusing on the story and already knowing where to go

#

and skipping cutscenes/dialogue that you already read

heavy kettle
#

i did thattt

median inlet
#

In /gpose my character keeps having the mount summon animation, how do I stop that?

marble drift
#

Im sorry but if it took you 33 hours to get to level 18. Im not sure you did

#

/gpose repeats the last animation you did

#

so exit gpose and do something else

heavy kettle
#

what?? i told you im bad with maps

#

OH I also did all the training for my class

simple shore
#

idk, if its taken you 33 hours to get to level 18 in the MSQ, but you also have strong opinions about the types of people on your server.....these are not unrelated subjects, lol

obsidian patio
#

Hall of the Novice is still only like another hour or so.

heavy kettle
#

what'cha mean it's not unrelated? o.o

median inlet
#

Can I somehow do a gpose of just my character standing still?

obsidian patio
#

switching classes and then swapping back should reset the animations

#

if not, you can do a low-animation emote like /yes

#

and just freeze your character to get them in the right pose

simple shore
#

Yeah, any emote will also go to gpose, so that might actually serve your purposes anyway

median inlet
#

Perfect, thanks

heavy kettle
#

if it helps saying i have special needs

#

i dont see how its possible to do it nearly that fast though

obsidian patio
#

I do too. Focus can be a very fickle thing sometimes depending on what your mind wants.

#

Either way, if you think it's worth the $18 to transfer instead of making a new character, then feel free to do so.

heavy kettle
#

no i was focusing though

median inlet
#

Wait you can buy a transfer in mogstation?

obsidian patio
#

in the additional services section, yes.

median inlet
#

Ah, thanks. That'll be good to take note of

on the marketboard

#

for gil

slate arrow
#

speaking of which, if you need materia

#

ishgard is the way to go

fast kernel
#

Materia VIIs?

slate arrow
#

so much less expensive compared to grinding scrips

fast kernel
#

for crafters

marble drift
#

I suppose if you're an achievement hunter

fast kernel
#

oh

#

ooo

slate arrow
#

7 and 8s yeah

fast kernel
#

Did not know that

marble drift
#

but...thats not really crafter endgame thats acheivement hunter endgame

slate arrow
#

It's 240 and 300 skybuilders scrips respectively

#

which is like 2-3 maxed out collectibles

#

I spent a few days just buying up cheap MB materials and just macro crafting a shitton of ishgard turn ins

#

sitting pretty on a pile of scrips for when 5.3 comes out

marble drift
#

I should do that too methinks

fast kernel
#

Yeah i'd rather do this than spend 15 mil buying materia and overmelding

pastel sparrow
#

does the ffxiv PC launcher pause downloads if i need to turn off my PC?

slate arrow
#

no

#

Just wait

lime geode
#

When is 5.3 coming out?

slate arrow
#

next month

#

no date announced yet

#

but just sometime next month

marble drift
#

mid probably, end most likely

fast kernel
#

Hmm lvl 80 crafts from ishgard give 30 scrips

#

while expert crafts give 60

slate arrow
#

but maxed out it's like 100 or so

vivid wolf
#

Why do some quests have a plus next to it?

slate arrow
#

I think

#

@vivid wolf content unlock

vivid wolf
#

so worth doing?

fast kernel
#

maxed out for lvl 80 is 60

#

and expert is 76

#

Yeah this ain't bad

slate arrow
#

Yeah experts aren't worth doing for scrip value

#

They require a lot more work to max out

#

@vivid wolf depends

#

stuff like Challenge Log, Dungeons, and features? Yes

#

Stuff like classes you haven't unlocked yet? Eh, can pass on them.

#

Do note that you should be doing your class quests, the ones that give you skills and abilities

fast kernel
#

I wish there was a MB in the firmament

slate arrow
#

@fast kernel for the most part, the most expensive part of the craft is the pre-crafts needed. I think Weaver's is the most expensive one given you have to take like 3-4 steps to get to the precraft needed for ishgard

warped nest
#

Firmament is starting city in Heavensward right?

slate arrow
#

no that's foundation

#

firmament is the "housing" district which isn't a housing district yet so no marketboard

warped nest
#

Oh, that

fast kernel
#

Weaver is actually one of the cheaper ones

#

White ash lumber

slate arrow
#

oh really?

fast kernel
#

BSM has mana silver nugget

#

shits expensive

#

ARM*

slate arrow
#

actually if you quick synth the manasilver nugget I think it's one of the cheaper ones

heavy kettle
#

does anyone do casual/light hearted RP where you're the character?

slate arrow
#

not in FFXIV but I've dabbled in it, what's up?

pastel sparrow
#

theyre looking for rp servers but they dont wanna transfer to rp servers :x ive seen lots of rp in mateus/balmung just saying..

fast kernel
#

Never thought of using an MMO as an RP platform

slate arrow
#

well then uh if you're just looking for casual RP

fast kernel
#

even tho RPG is in the description

slate arrow
#

my best recommendation is to throw up a PF or join a discord dedicated to your DC for RP

#

only crystal has a large casual RP population so

#

If you don't want to transfer it's generally pretty hard

pastel sparrow
#

theres an RP tag you can apply to your character ingame on ffxiv and theres dedicated RP groups etc but most of the roleplayers all congregate on certain servers and mateus/balmung is it

carmine pasture
#

can someone help me? im trying to transfer my account from trial to normal but its keep saying The code's region is inapplicable.
You can only enter codes from the same region as your Square Enix account.

slate arrow
#

@carmine pasture you used the wrong region's store then

#

There's 3 regions

pastel sparrow
#

if you are in EU you can only use EU code, if you are in NA you can only use NA

sterile ore
#

heey i was browsign some houses and i see alot of green and red, is that an indication for something?

slate arrow
#

NA, EU and other regions, and JP

fast kernel
#

@carmine pasture I did this as well

#

No other choice but to buy a new one

slate arrow
#

@sterile ore red = private/can't enter

#

green = open to enter interior

fast kernel
#

pretty sure you can't refund if you've seen the code

carmine pasture
#

No other choice but to buy a new one
@fast kernel really?

sterile ore
#

aaah i seee, is there an indicator if the house is on sell or bid?

slate arrow
#

it'll typically show the cost of the plot

fast kernel
#

^

slate arrow
#

ex: 1,750,000 gil

fast kernel
#

I wouldn't bank on getting a free plot at this time though

slate arrow
#

@carmine pasture yep. SE store doesn't typically offer refunds once you reveal the code

fast kernel
#

At least not until auto-demo comes back

#

I didn't want to deal with the shit so i just went to steam

#

Non-steam is almost always better

slate arrow
#

you could offer to trade the code on something like /r/gametrade but you're probably out of luck

sterile ore
#

aaah ok

carmine pasture
#

@slate arrow any idea how not to repeat it?

slate arrow
#

what region is your SE account registered to?

#

you can check via the SE ID website normally

rough anchor
#

How much total aetherpool level do I need to go from no weapon to a padjali one

slate arrow
#

@rough anchor around 60 or so

rough anchor
#

And a kinna?

slate arrow
#

oh wait that's just from padjali to kinna

#

technically everything below 50-60 is padjali

rough anchor
#

I mean for use outside of PotD

slate arrow
#

oh you need 30 aetherpool for a padjali weapon

#

You need 3 pommels which is 10/10 each

#

and 6 pommels + a padjali weapon for a kinna

rough anchor
#

So 90/90 total

#

Thanks

tidal yarrow
#

can't I leave my armors somewhere? I have my inventory full of other classes and jobs armors..

#

like a chest or something idk lol

wintry chasm
#

Retainer?

tidal yarrow
#

I have never hired one so idk how it works.. I can try

wintry chasm
#

You on the free trial?

faint flare
#

They're basically banks

tidal yarrow
#

nope

wintry chasm
#

What level main story are you on?

tidal yarrow
#

uhm

#

I don't really know the level of it

#

it's called the steps of faith

wintry chasm
#

Oh wow

#

Okay

#

Yeah you are well past the point you unlocked retainers

#

Just go to a city market and talk to a retainer vocate and hire two

#

Also do "my feisty chocobo" in bentbranch if you haven't already for a chocobo saddlebag that can store more stuff and the ability to summon your chocobo in combat

tidal yarrow
#

thank you so much

molten spruce
#

what does it mean when a server has legacy beside it

wintry chasm
#

Nothing that matters nowadays. It just meant that players from 1.0 could move their characters to those servers when the game got remade.

molten spruce
#

ahh

#

is it ilegal to buy gil online? like can i get banned?

wintry chasm
#

Oh yes

#

That is illegal

molten spruce
#

good 2 know

wintry chasm
#

Well, against terms of service anyways, you aren't going to get arrested by police xD

molten spruce
#

where do i see the homes to buy

wintry chasm
#

Have to do "where the heart is" in the different regions to unlock that region's housing areas

#

The Shroud one is in Bentbranch meadows in central Shroud. Thanalan one is in Western Thanalan in that ummm, scorpion crossing, and the la noscean one is somewhere I always forget

#

Lower La Noscea?

molten spruce
#

something i dont get is

#

are these houses limited per server?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

molten spruce
#

so once i buy my house can i sell it back?

wintry chasm
#

Apartments are there too and aren't really limited though

molten spruce
#

or rent

wintry chasm
#

Rent no

#

Sell back...yes but IIRC SE put a policy in place some time ago that stops flipping houses for like, 10x the value of the house

molten spruce
#

sooo if i wanted to buy a big house (in hyperion) around how much would it cost?

wintry chasm
#

!faq housing

zinc orbitBOT
wintry chasm
#

Look here for more details for that

#

Price depends on a few things

molten spruce
#

how tf does someone get 50 million gil

wintry chasm
#

Easily

#

Also much easier when you are an FC trying to get it

#

You know, multiple people saving money

molten spruce
#

fc?

placid depot
#

Free company

molten spruce
#

ahh

wintry chasm
#

Like guilds in other MMOs

molten spruce
#

settin up guild halls i guess?

chrome surge
#

i cant get in the game is that normal

placid depot
#

Error?

molten spruce
#

close and reboot game

chrome surge
#

no i mean like when i start i get too the data center but not further

molten spruce
#

does it say its full?

chrome surge
#

it says nothing

vagrant copper
#

What are you clicking on...?

warped nest
#

@molten spruce crafting, only took me around year and half of casual crafting to get 120 ish mil

placid depot
#

Can you screenshot?

warped nest
#

If you go hard at it, getting 70-80 mils in the right month is not impossible

molten spruce
#

im sitting at 90k just doing quests and think im rich

placid depot
#

Lmao had 1.5 mil and was like “woaaaah I got caaaash”

chrome surge
#

oh ok i can get in

agile laurel
#

doing maps groups is also damn lucrative

#

it's give-or-take 350k raw gil minimum for turning up, if not more, i'd say

#

and that's not accounting for anything that you might loot

agile laurel
#

cause anything exclusively from maps is pretty much guaranteed to be in the 100,000s at least

unreal aspen
#

is the dancing plague ex a lot easier than the other ex trials for shb?

agile laurel
#

innocence's easier imho

unreal aspen
#

or is it more a mild difficulty increase

agile laurel
#

but it's one of the easier ones

unreal aspen
#

oh shit

#

ok maybe time to stop putting off learning that one LOL

agile laurel
#

in order of difficulty i'd definitely put innocence and titania at the start, in whichever order

#

since it's pretty much 90% dodge mechanics iirc

unreal aspen
#

ok sweet, then im assuming its hades then ruby ex in terms of difficulty?

agile laurel
#

something like that

#

this is coming from one who in blissful ignorance learned hades ex as the first ex in shb

#

compared to that, a lot of things seemed easier

molten spruce
#

where do i queue for pvp?

vagrant copper
#

Moghome is where the moogle beast tribe is, yeah? It seems like it'd be obvious but... >_<

jade quartz
#

No, but it's where it unlocks.

leaden ginkgo
#

best way for 40-50

hearty quail
#

Heyy everyone, I wanted to know if anyone knows when are the peak hours for Gilgamesh server for Alliance Raids / Normal Raids and peak hours in general (if possible) ?

leaden ginkgo
#

every server peaks at noon

#

6-8pm

jade quartz
#

Gilgamesh has the same peak hours as every other North American server.

#

When people are home from work (or school).

#

And also during noon/afternoon at the moment thanks to lockdowns

hearty quail
#

Thanks @leaden ginkgo @jade quartz

#

Quick question : Can my friends and I play a Trail, Dungeon or anything else for the first time while unsync ?

vagrant copper
#

Yes

median locust
#

Yes, if you have the levels to beat it with 2 people

#

or however many friends

hearty quail
#

(I was gonna ask if we can play with 3 players, lol)

median locust
#

Unsync just means you don't get synced down so you can go with as many people as usual

#

or less

hearty quail
#

Thanks @vagrant copper @median locust

jade quartz
#

er

#

my practical answer would be no @hearty quail

#

unsync is only viable if you overlevel the dungeon by a lot. With three players you'd still need a bit of overleveling.

#

Just queue up. You will get matchmade very fast as a group of three.

open coral
#

The only possible reason I can think of for a group of 3 to unsync would be if you wanted to go with an odd comp, like 1 tank, 3dps (do not recommend if you are at or near level). As long as you're not outside the parameters of a standard group (1 tank, 1 heal, 2 dps), there's no reason to unsync.

median locust
#

You also don't get exp unsynced so that would go to waste.

vagrant copper
#

Maybe they all bought level boosts and want to steamrolls duties 🤷‍♂️

open coral
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

mossy tartan
#

Is it possible to check how many times I did X dungeon or trial?

median locust
#

You can check how many instances you've cleared but not how many times you've cleared X instance as far as I know

mossy tartan
#

oh okay

open coral
#

For HW and later EX trials, you can see how many totems you have.

#

But I think that's the closest you can get.

dry ocean
#

what is the name of rowena's chestpiece on the resitance quest?

median locust
#

Do you have a screenshot?

dry ocean
#

wait

median locust
#

Ramie Poncho

dry ocean
#

thanksss

#

what's the dyeable version?

median locust
#

or Cashmere Poncho if you want dyeable

dry ocean
#

great help

#

thank you

median locust
#

Garland Tools says the piece is Ramie Poncho dyed but it's not dyeable 🤔

marble drift
#

were the ramie and cashmere introduced at the same time?

#

cause she might have been wearing the ramie before the cashmere had be implemented if thats the case

open coral
#

Unlikely. Cashmere poncho is a level 60 piece, and she wasn't wearing it until current content.

marble drift
#

ah well. it was a thought

dry ocean
#

I saw a cowboy hat

#

anybody knows the name?

bitter plaza
#

iirc they were added at the same time

#

glamour pieces like that often get a cheaper undyeable and a more expensive dyeable version

marble drift
#

we'd need a picture crow

dry ocean
marble drift
#

is that on an npc or a player?

dry ocean
#

player

#

wrangler's hat

limber sun
#

Hmm I think I have that or something similar. Wasn’t it a veteran reward, as part of Zidane’s outfit maybe?

dry ocean
#

is there a tank version?

marble drift
#

level 60, Hullbreaker Isle (hard) or Sohr Khai

#

the anemos hat

#

all class. super cheap off the marketboard

dry ocean
#

oh

#

thankss bud

marble drift
#

whenever you want to know if something shares a model

#

and use thier database

#

its SUPER helpful

#

it also has drop locations and NPC outfits

#

you can literally carbon copy most npcs in character creation

#

only a few are off-limits
