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
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?
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
sounds like you dyed the plate and not the item itself
oh is that how that works?
did you dye the chest on the plate or the item itself in the dresser?
oh wow thats stupid lol
because if you dye the item on the plate, it just dyes it for that plate
it allows for flexibility.
Right, you can do it either way
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.
You can dye the item in the dresser inventory directly without taking it out.
What's the BLM leveling rotation command?

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 ?
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
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.
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
Is there a class that's generally easier to play for a non-gaming gamer?
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
if you level to 70 with a tome. How do you join a grand company
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. 😄
if you bought a story skip you're automatically put in the grand company where your starting class is based off of.
my friend also bought the story advancement to catch up to us
so starting as a Pugilist/Thaumaturge/Gladiator you are automatically put in the Immortal Flames since they're in Ul'dah
@molten temple you fed it the wrong food. You fed it food for dyeing your chocobo, not training.
@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.
thanks guys
Is enmity rank a indicator of DPS for damage dealers?
other foods that give your chocobo experience are:
Curiel Root
Sylkis Buds
Mimett Gourd
Tantalplant
Pahsana Fruit
yes and no
So, I fed it a "curiel root" - is that training food?
yep
Okay, so if I fed it one of those, does it need to stay in the stables? 😮
nope
Okay, thank you! 😄
@dense pier rankings yes, generally, unless the healers are doing a shitton of healing in a small period of time
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
anybody sell food in Revenant's Toll? or am I blind
anybody know if gametime code expire after purchase? i dont wanna activate it until 5.3
codes should never expire
I'm hearing warrior/scholar
ty
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
@sharp tapir not that I know of
that way you guys can basically play together from the start
Yeah that's what I'm hearing, that's a big has to
tbh the level 1-15 story goes by super fast since it's basically a mini-tutorial on general MMO stuff
marauder/arcanist it is then- however would I be able to play the card healing class eventually? I heard some classes share levels
only Summoner and Scholar share levels since they have the same base class of arcanist
only arcanist shares its levels with summoner and scholar
but yes you can unlock all classes on a single character.
you can unlock astrologian once you reach heavensward (the first expansion) of the game
So basically I'll have to start that class at level 1 when I get there?
astro starts at level 30
Well that'll work I suppose
guys ffxiv has it own launcher or no?
yes it does
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?
That's pretty much it. Focusing on
and
will take you pretty far
make sure to keep up on your class quests as it unlocks your job, free gear, and actions
Ok so the class quests are from the archers guild?

yep
for the job quests they move around a bit but for the base game quests are in the south shroud
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?
Thanks guys I wasn't expecting an answer so quick haha
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
floors 1-10 are still pretty decent experience as the exp reward scales up to level 60.
you don't have access to ast in trial ver
ik, i'm just looking at it for fun
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
im curious about astrologian
Anything with rng as a factor is going to be difficult IMO
after leveling ast... my experience was...
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
"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.
MHMM guys im new new to the game which class is the easiest to play and fun?>
hello quick question here, anyone know if its possible to get back an armor coffer that you previously discarded?
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
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!
unfortunately no then
ohh damn
But if you have spare tomestones of poetics you can spend them on Shire gear in Idyllshire
which is stronger than the hellfire stuff
oh i just thought the boots of that set looked cool for glam haha
👌
thank you tho!
hellfire is also buyable with poetics from the same vendor in idyllshire
where can i see the full maiming sets available to date?
on internet ppl only show the weapon or chest piece
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
https://www.ffxivcollection.com/
this site has all sets up
sadly its all japanese if you can't read
thankss
what gear is this and how to get
damn thats sexy
pls dont tell me its a raid on highest difficulty
its the elemental gear, you can do it by doing Eureka which is lvl 70 content
not really difficult, just time consuming
Very time consuming
whats eureka
you also can't unsync it
what is that
Eureka is best explained as a slice of FFXI transplanted into XIV
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?
With, uh... varying results.
but what is unsync
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.
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
so basically by unsync you can absolutely destroy a lvl 16 dungeon
Pretty much yeah
ohhh
But Eureka forces you to be level 70 no matter what
but that gear is lvl 70 what if i want to do lvl 80 stuff
and i want to look like that
Does demolishes damage buff have a symbol?
There isn't really anything equivalent to the Elemental armor as far as I can recall.
In terms of looks that is
cant i copy the looks of it with the crystal that msq gives u?
@twilit arch sowhen I buy the game on steam it won't start up a subscription till I add it to my account?

yes
Tysm 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Any idea what this is?
(It's the address for my apartment for context)
Edit: Nevermind, basically wing 2 is the apartment building in the subdivision

@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).
@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
ahhh thank goddd
how do i level my crafting and gathering? quests?
like the class quests
Levequests are arguably the fastest. Ishgard Restoration is the other contender.
Is Idealized BiS in any cases? They have 5 materia slots
only the tank headpieces are
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.
huh
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
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
look in your journal. it should tell you there
Pick it up from the local vendor
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
A bronze ornamental hammer
ahhhhh
Right?
yes
sometimes the MSQ will not tell you on your map because it all ready did.
Hes inside one of the buildings
found it, thxx
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!
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?
mostly tanks and classes with DOT management
so i think that means im not a fan of BRD and SMN
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.
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
!action Tri-Disaster
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
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
ive mostly been running scholar, because ally targeting is easy
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
Machinist only support are one group damage reduction ability (which DNC and BRD has, just under different names) and whatever on role actions
how do i revive players?
Are you healer, summoner, or Red Mage?
Otherwise, do you have an item called Phoenix down?
I should probably not be considering redmage if i want to heal
no
Red Mage don't heal
Their healing spell are for solo, or when your tank are in deep shit
astrologian pretty nice
Then you can't revive, if your answers to both questions are no
yeah.
where do i buy the phoenix down
Very good question, I don't know
Because it is almost never used
!item Phoenix Down
*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.*
I play healer so much I never even acknowledge them
cannot be used during battle,,,
yeah phoenix downs aren't really very relevant
except for being occasionally helpful in Deep Dungeon
but even then it's not required
I usually just peace out when I die, unless theres a summoner around
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
people having a healer leveled isn't rare
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
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
Do it all, lol
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.
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
theyre the one that goes "CLANG CLANG" all the time, right? I dont have that class yet
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
anyone know how to switch the clock in the ui to 24h mode?
If you have the time to, I recommend leveling them all
to me, the only cool weapons are the true shiva weapons
Hi, has anyone else encountered an issue with logging into ff14 with steam? It keeps saying my password is incorrect when I know it is, because I have reset it several times and are on the website at the time.
!faq mnkguide
Unless you are answering question or asking them with these, try to do them in #kupo-bot-spam
at what point would I be able to do shiva extreme unlocked with a lvl 70 paladin
anyone knows how long does it take to generate 100 Leves/Allowances?
12 hours for 3 leves iirc
ah thanks.. so should be around 17 days
Goring is 10s right?
lightning shot is not a commonly used skill for gnb?
Goring Blade is 21 seconds
Oh
!action Lightning Shot
2 royal authority combos then goring
heard provoke is enough
Usually, yes
Provoke is no damage tho
So lightning and other skills like it (Unmend, Shield Lob, Tomahawk) are commonly used for pulling
When you have done 2 Royal Authority, Goring will drop off right as you refresh it
Although some people do gap closer for pulling
Walking in and using AOE is fine too
But Gap Closers aren't as good because if you use an enmity generator, you can center the boss
You can use Long distance attacks like Lightning shot to hit a target that you cannot get close to atm
how do i change servers with the same account?
rough divide + provoke?
You basically will always have enmity if tank stance is on unless you're doing nothing or terrible
use ur aoe's if ur doing big pulls
how do i leave a novice network? @_@
what's a maid service?
one of the parties says that
wait is this fetish oriented?
sorry xD i wont ask that
hey everyone, bought the game and i'm just finishing the download right now, are there any resources for new players here?
there's a free guide the game has
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.
thanks
hey ive played a lot of WoW but wanted to give i a shoot to FFXIV havent gotten the game yet but wanted to see what its all about if anyone could maybe dm me and show me what its about
you could try the free version up to level 35 and see if you like it
any other place i can get centurion seals mobs?
theres a fre version up to lvl 35? what if i want to keep going will i be able to keep going on that account?
What's the clicking noise when a tank pops an invuln?
oh ok thanks i just meet someone like 1 year ago and he streamed his screen for me and showed me a whole bunch but i dont remember it at all lol
i just want to get into it because i was watching Sword art online lol

i do want to say that at least seemingly early game is not representative of late game, but i can't say that much since i'm still new myself
oh ok i just want to try something new other than wow since i have no one to play wow with it got kinda boring so i just thought that i might try something new and maybe find people to play with lol
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
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
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
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
it gives you all expansions
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?
17 for the dlc, 13 for the dlc via the bundle
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
it's linked to my steam wallet i think
had to set up subscription via square enix' site, but it linked to my steam wallet
castrum is the best farm for tomestones right?
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?
i forgot, but what was the "rotation" of bard songs again
like priority of using them
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.
Wanna use wanderers again when army's has 10 sec left on the timer
Believe wanderers becomes available again at 20?
Not sire
nah that's when Wanderer's is available.
Songs have an 80s cooldown, each song has 30s duration.
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.
Pitch Perfect you mean?
it's not
uhh
I'm assuming you must have just unlocked it at 50
I’m 52. Leveling up is a pain at that point.
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
Partly wishing there were faster ways to level. I have 3 jobs I want to do for their stories + my main job.
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
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?
Level 17
"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
Any tips for a lvl 13? Currently just grinding through Gridania, don't really know where to look
Fair enough. And I’ll remember to do that quest. Thanks.
just do the main quest
this is the mark for it
you get plenty of gear that way
What about sidequests? Wont i end up underleveled?
No
not really
Sidequests are a garbage exp source.
If your main desire is exp, you're better off doing basically anything but sidequests.
do any fate you see along the way tho, they give decent exp
ehh.
or don't, idk that much xD
If you're on a preferred world then MSQ alone will have you covered all the way to level cap.
Preferred world? 🤔
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
I guess i shouldnt worry too much about those jobs/professions yet? (Crafting etc)
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.
I was surprised at how much leveling roulette leveled characters .
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: 
When should i start the second job?
These are sidequests that unlock features or content.
Whenever you want
or, heck, never
All blues?
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
You can skip bluequests that unlock other classes/jobs if you aren't interested in playing that class/job.
Currently just running Lancer, aiming for dragoon
But i can switch to a different job on the same character, right?
Yes
yep
Amusing now much of the game I’m noob at despite being a few quests into HW
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.
where can you buy lvl 60 gatherer wep?

Craft or buy your own HQ one off the marketboard, or trade Yellow Crafter's Scrips for one at the scrip exchange in Idyllshire.
Why did that message pop up?
until when is ilvl 290 good to use?
oof okay guess i'll have to spend
@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?
Yes, there are variants which vaguely suggest an enemy's strength, but they're largely irrelevant and not really that consistently used.
these and possibly more
can basically tune them out.
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?
what is the best farm for tomestones of poetics?
I kind of wish those icons would be repurposed to indicate "aggros by sight" vs. "aggros by sound".
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 ?
Yup.
@heavy kettle as in play on a different character on a different server or to move your existing character to a different server?
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
@obsidian wren second one ^^
regardless of facing
Via the mog station
Additional services iirc
At the top bar
Does cost real money though
mog station?
it's where you manage your account and is also the cash shop
It’s like $18, last I checked.
The place where you can pay your subscription pmuch
change home world?
yep
Oh
Just making sure
You do mean to permanently move your character there right
And not just visiting a different world?
then is it asking me questions for my character's first and last name or mine irl?
Not alot of reason to server transfer unless you're switching data centers tbh
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
Could worldhop around via the aetheryte in the 3 starting cities
What is your current server, and why dont you like it.

no one RPs in it, and no one's like me at all in the server
You'll want to transfer to balmung or mateus on crystal then.
they're the main unofficial RP servers
"like me" isnt very clear. That said, yeah, Crystal is the "RP Datacenter". Though keep in mind there's tradeoffs with that.
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
If you’re just starting out, why not just create a new character instead of spending real money on it? 🤔
yeah if your character is relatively new you're better off just making a new one instead of paying $18
i'm not willing to start overrr x_x
how far in the story are you?
lvl 18 for main story, though my character's higher
Best to start over. You've barely even scratched the surface of the initial story.
You can easily get back to that point in 2-3 hours
what? no. i spent literally 33 hours to get there o_o
Yeah. I "wasted" two hours on the wrong server - the second time is much faster, you'll hardly notice.
By focusing on the story and already knowing where to go
and skipping cutscenes/dialogue that you already read
i did thattt
In /gpose my character keeps having the mount summon animation, how do I stop that?
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
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
Hall of the Novice is still only like another hour or so.
what'cha mean it's not unrelated? o.o
Can I somehow do a gpose of just my character standing still?
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
Yeah, any emote will also go to gpose, so that might actually serve your purposes anyway
Perfect, thanks
if it helps saying i have special needs
i dont see how its possible to do it nearly that fast though
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.
no i was focusing though
Wait you can buy a transfer in mogstation?
in the additional services section, yes.
Ah, thanks. That'll be good to take note of
i was running in the wrong areas though a lot
"Home World Transfer Service"
whats the difference from lamia and exodus?
Nothing much really
Servers don't really have an individual identity except for the big 3 on NA
you can only transfer 90 days after character creation btw
for free?
no for a fee
Thats only if you made a character on a preferred world
Makoto Nijima, nice
There’s a big 3?
!status exodus
i tried it and it said that lmao
Gilgamesh, Balmung, Mateus
does exodus have different people than lamia?
It is a different server so yes
is famfrit good for roleplaying?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
are you US @heavy kettle
most RPers congregate on Balmung and Mateus for NA
mhm
Not sure about EU or JP
Crystal (Mateus) had the most active Rpers in my experience
Yeah
i couldnt play on that cluster because i dont like rp
idk what data center means for rping
I think Twintania was RP for EU?
Datacenters are a collection of servers
I forgot
So all the servers you mentioned are on the Primal Datacenter
when you queue up for dungeons & bosses you are playing with people from the same data center, so if you are on Mateus you are playing with people from Zalera, Brynhildr, etc etc
Crystal has the most RPing in general, but Primal also has a decent RP scene
does it cost money to switch from ones on the primal datacenter?
Its just more private than Crystal
yes
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
you can travel to other worlds for free but it costs money to change your homeworld and datacenter
travelling to other worlds is for visiting friends and etc
You can use World Visit to visit another server on the same Datacenter as the one you're on
but you cant join their parties
how can I make that pressing shift + number it does my 3rd hotbar ability?
yes you can.
You can
howw?
Its literally in the FAQ I posted
you can join their parties you just cant do certain quests because its not your homeworld and there are certain actions that are limited
after hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties.
you cant use your retainer for e.g
@tidal yarrow system > keybinds > change it there
thanks
what? i read you cant do much in other areas
think of your home world as the place you will do all your main gameplay and visiting other worlds is to see other friends and play with them
what's the difference from mateus crystal,
and mateus?
they're the same thing
oh ok
Is visiting on a timer or until you log out?
You can't buy houses either
which world within mateus were you suggesting?
when you play on mateus you are playing with people from your neighbouring worlds
from other worlds
mateus is the world
@slate crow you can stay on another world for as long as you want
lamia or exodus
A datacenter is a collection of worlds
Step 1: Destination Home World Selection
Mateus
Step 2: Home World and Character Selection
(Lamia or Exodus)
Only one preferred in Primal? Dang.
One of those is asking for your home world
what?
step 1 is the world you are transferring to, step 2 is the world you are coming from
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
TY
so when you visit another world
can you stay in after logging out?
yes
Is there a way of checking server populations?
why switch then?
If you have an FC you want to join
or switch to a lower pop world to get a better chance for housing
all servers are pretty populated @fast kernel , as for seeing which servers are "favourites" you can look at FC recruitment for your region
etc
What’s the drop rate for mounts in extreme trials?
ive never found a "dead" server on ffxiv
Depends on the fight and the exact number isn't know
level 80 ex's? low
^
@slate crow more common than what it used to be. i get a mount every 3 or 5 runs. sometimes i got it on the first run
if its not max level, its slightly better iirc
how do i visit another world?
Go to a major town
I remember seeing tons of ARR horseys

@heavy kettle go to the main aetheryte crystal in one of the three starting cities
go to their aetheryte
and then less birds and then even less doggos
Birds and Horses are ez pez to farm tho
Doggos and above require you to actually somewhat know the fight
yeah I know but I've farmed both mega-horse and mega-bird
All I need is Leviathan horse and I have the collection, I think. If there’s only 7 horses
and mega-bird took more runs
Theres nightmare
and havent finished mega-doggo
which i still need
but thats taken even more runs
regardless. Im almost positive that they increase the drop rate for the mounts on max level ex's
Got nightmare earlier, actually.
I need to go back to farming Hades and Titania
That'd probably just go under the "other" section of the party finder on the far right Pizza
You can just say you're looking for rp in the title
Honestly hate titania more than anything, the groups i keep getting are shit
While hades is braindead easy
I joined mateus will I get 1mil Gill when I reach level 30? It was a preffered server but it said it has to be a new server to get the gill
:(
preffered worlds get you 15 days of free playtime tho
^
!status Balmung
World Visit only works for servers on your Data Center
Im already level 20 so I'll just stick with it, that sucks
You're on Primal
Oh yeah if you mean world visit ^
how do i change it?
Im already level 20 so I'll just stick with it, that sucks
1 million is nothing anyway
You'll have to pay for a home world transfer to a world on crystal to visit balmung or mateus
Which costs $
what?
You're no that far into the game right?
@leaden ginkgo dont worry you will make 1 mil gil from getting to lv80 and doing content fairly easily. im lazy and make 500k gil easily without really playing that much
If you have only play 10 hours, you can just make a new character in a new world over paying for a transfer
Deja vu.
actually how do you get more retainers? The two free ones aren't doing it for me anymore
yep
@fast kernel pay for more on the mogstation
@pastel sparrow oh okay I thought it was a lot thanks for clarifying
each additional one is $2.50 a month
Uhhh... optional services on mogstation?
It should be in additional services
Yeah that one
no wait, it's in your account under "Retainer Service"
hrmm
$2.50 a month is cheaper than I expected
friendly reminder that you have inventory space in your chocobo saddlebag if youre running out of retainer space
Using mail as a way to storing maps is probably still better then
by the way, 2 retainers is more than enough for the regular player and hobbyist crafter
im so frustrated
I'd only recommend buying extra if you're a really invested player
x_x
i'll msg u haruhi
Its def more than enough
I tend to keep my inventory uncluttered
Was just thinking if its worth it to get them just for map storage
nah
Alphinaud doesn't seem to understand that I'm an important adventurer. Gather packages - pfft.
unless you sit on maps like a dragon on a hoard you shouldn't need to be opening more than 5 at a time, and if you're holding onto more you should probably just sell them on the MB instead
That ain't a question Siv
I tend to go like 2 weeks without running maps
The implied question being, why the **** am I gathering packages.
Because you aren't above menial tasks
🙂
The Fabled Warrior of Light has a hard time not nodding yes to menial labor
30-50 DRK story kinda goes into it
"I refuse to even lay a finger on this package that is right in front of me because I am the WoL" is a pretty shitty thing
The Dragonsung tool quest pissed me off lmao
It was like
Hey i forgot to say that you only needed a fraction of this
Get the minions to do it! I'm the WoL! Where's my throne...
reeeeeee
@fast kernel endgame gear is locked behind two things: weekly lockouts and grinds
Brb, off to get tea leaves for Tataru.
Weekly lockouts and grind which is also weekly capped tyvm
and since crafters only have one thing which is locked out weekly, it means crafters get to tend to the absurd grind part
Crafters have a weekly lockout?
Special deliveries
Custom deliveries?
Custom Deliveries?
yeah
that's the only real weekly lockouts crafters have
yep
Its just lazy mans weekly scrips
hey before, crafters didn't even have a real endgame
It was just "grind the marketboard for gil"
nah ishgard provides other stuff and nice things
that you sell
eh
Materia VIIs?
so much less expensive compared to grinding scrips
for crafters
I suppose if you're an achievement hunter
7 and 8s yeah
Did not know that
but...thats not really crafter endgame thats acheivement hunter endgame
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
I should do that too methinks
Yeah i'd rather do this than spend 15 mil buying materia and overmelding
does the ffxiv PC launcher pause downloads if i need to turn off my PC?
When is 5.3 coming out?
mid probably, end most likely
but maxed out it's like 100 or so
Why do some quests have a plus next to it?
so worth doing?
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
I wish there was a MB in the firmament
@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
Firmament is starting city in Heavensward right?
no that's foundation
firmament is the "housing" district which isn't a housing district yet so no marketboard
Oh, that
oh really?
actually if you quick synth the manasilver nugget I think it's one of the cheaper ones
does anyone do casual/light hearted RP where you're the character?
not in FFXIV but I've dabbled in it, what's up?

theyre looking for rp servers but they dont wanna transfer to rp servers :x ive seen lots of rp in mateus/balmung just saying..
Never thought of using an MMO as an RP platform
well then uh if you're just looking for casual RP
even tho RPG is in the description
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
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
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.
if you are in EU you can only use EU code, if you are in NA you can only use NA
heey i was browsign some houses and i see alot of green and red, is that an indication for something?
NA, EU and other regions, and JP
pretty sure you can't refund if you've seen the code
No other choice but to buy a new one
@fast kernel really?
aaah i seee, is there an indicator if the house is on sell or bid?
it'll typically show the cost of the plot
^
ex: 1,750,000 gil
I wouldn't bank on getting a free plot at this time though
@carmine pasture yep. SE store doesn't typically offer refunds once you reveal the code
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
you could offer to trade the code on something like /r/gametrade but you're probably out of luck
aaah ok
@slate arrow any idea how not to repeat it?
what region is your SE account registered to?
you can check via the SE ID website normally
How much total aetherpool level do I need to go from no weapon to a padjali one
@rough anchor around 60 or so
And a kinna?
oh wait that's just from padjali to kinna
technically everything below 50-60 is padjali
I mean for use outside of PotD
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
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
Retainer?
I have never hired one so idk how it works.. I can try
You on the free trial?
They're basically banks
nope
What level main story are you on?
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
thank you so much
what does it mean when a server has legacy beside it
Nothing that matters nowadays. It just meant that players from 1.0 could move their characters to those servers when the game got remade.
good 2 know
Well, against terms of service anyways, you aren't going to get arrested by police xD
where do i see the homes to buy
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?
Yes
so once i buy my house can i sell it back?
Apartments are there too and aren't really limited though
or rent
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
sooo if i wanted to buy a big house (in hyperion) around how much would it cost?
!faq housing
how tf does someone get 50 million gil
Easily
Also much easier when you are an FC trying to get it
You know, multiple people saving money
fc?
Free company
ahh
Like guilds in other MMOs
settin up guild halls i guess?
i cant get in the game is that normal
Error?
close and reboot game
no i mean like when i start i get too the data center but not further
does it say its full?
it says nothing
What are you clicking on...?
@molten spruce crafting, only took me around year and half of casual crafting to get 120 ish mil
Can you screenshot?
If you go hard at it, getting 70-80 mils in the right month is not impossible
im sitting at 90k just doing quests and think im rich
Lmao had 1.5 mil and was like “woaaaah I got caaaash”
oh ok i can get in
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

cause anything exclusively from maps is pretty much guaranteed to be in the 100,000s at least
is the dancing plague ex a lot easier than the other ex trials for shb?
innocence's easier imho
or is it more a mild difficulty increase
but it's one of the easier ones
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
ok sweet, then im assuming its hades then ruby ex in terms of difficulty?
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
where do i queue for pvp?
Moghome is where the moogle beast tribe is, yeah? It seems like it'd be obvious but... >_<
No, but it's where it unlocks.
best way for 40-50
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) ?
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
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 ?
Yes
(I was gonna ask if we can play with 3 players, lol)
Unsync just means you don't get synced down so you can go with as many people as usual
or less
Thanks @vagrant copper @median locust
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.
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.
You also don't get exp unsynced so that would go to waste.
Maybe they all bought level boosts and want to steamrolls duties 🤷♂️
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Is it possible to check how many times I did X dungeon or trial?
You can check how many instances you've cleared but not how many times you've cleared X instance as far as I know
oh okay
For HW and later EX trials, you can see how many totems you have.
But I think that's the closest you can get.
what is the name of rowena's chestpiece on the resitance quest?
Do you have a screenshot?
wait
Ramie Poncho
or Cashmere Poncho if you want dyeable
Garland Tools says the piece is Ramie Poncho dyed but it's not dyeable 🤔
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
Unlikely. Cashmere poncho is a level 60 piece, and she wasn't wearing it until current content.
ah well. it was a thought
iirc they were added at the same time
glamour pieces like that often get a cheaper undyeable and a more expensive dyeable version
we'd need a picture crow
is that on an npc or a player?
Hmm I think I have that or something similar. Wasn’t it a veteran reward, as part of Zidane’s outfit maybe?
is there a tank version?
