faint flare
#

That sells for millions

molten spruce
#

daaaaamn

#

in floor 151+

faint flare
#

It takes a loooong time to do and preferably every has 99/99

#

Those higher floors are deadly

molten spruce
#

u recommend me to re do from 51 to 100 until i have like 88 aetherpool?

#

also is aetherpool rng? my arms is 43 and my armor 33 lol

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Whenever you get a upgrade, it can be anywhere between +1 to +3

#

You can tell by the message, it says "your Arms shine X"

molten spruce
#

ive figured floor 51-60has thew most silver chest, i might be wrong

#

its like 3

faint flare
#

If you want higher aetherpool you eventually need to get up to 100 as the rate of upgrading aetherpool drops hard if your aetherpool is synced

molten spruce
#

im at 100

#

but then id need a party

#

with wich id have to do all 100+ floors no?

faint flare
#

Need to run over again

#

You can start at 51

#

If you aim to go to 101+

#

Just need to be in a fixed group all the way and dont wipe

#

And save pomanders

molten spruce
#

how do i save pommanders

#

they always disappear when i leave

faint flare
#

Fixed party saves pomanders

molten spruce
#

ahhh

faint flare
#

Since its the same group

molten spruce
#

soooo pommanders are shared?

faint flare
#

In the party yes

molten spruce
#

i didnt know that, thought only the rage one was

faint flare
#

Everyone uses them from the same pool you have

molten spruce
#

okok thanks brotha

#

i wish there was an easier way to lfg

inner spire
#

I see that many people are playing this game still, is it worth it to start from 0 with this game? Iam new to this games but im looking for a mmorpg to play for a while tho

faint flare
#

Yes

inner spire
#

Ok cool

#

Imma give it a try, is there a good working guild system here?

#

In the game i mean

faint flare
#

There are guilds yes

inner spire
#

Is the community kinda friendly and like good?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

One of the better communities out of mmos

lament thorn
#

I need a way to find a group to start palace of the dead at level 1. Best way to do that without random queuing?

obsidian patio
#

Party finder

molten spruce
#

how do i hire a retainer?

obsidian patio
#

Talk to a Retainer Vocate in the main city-state marketplaces

molten spruce
#

@obsidian patio party finder always full of people selling stuff

simple shore
#

Once you advance far enough in MSQ, you can talk to the Retainer Vocate in any of the main cities (it'll be near the market boards)

obsidian patio
#

they're marked on the minimap with an icon that looks like a face.

#

ok and? Party finder can still be used for getting groups for stuff.

simple shore
#

Just do the smart thing

#

Blacklist anyone selling

#

Then you dont have to see their shitty sale PF's anymore

molten spruce
#

ohhh so i can do thatt

#

im tired of tryin to lfg but all they say is ''found it cheap? i HAVE IT CHEAPERRR''

obsidian patio
#

you can click the icons at the top of the PF window to look at specific categories of content

acoustic island
#

is there addon for dps meter?

obsidian patio
#

ACT is the main one that people use.

acoustic island
#

the act doesn't show the overlay

simple shore
#

Then you didnt install/setup it right.

acoustic island
#

which patch

simple shore
#

If you follow those instructions from top to bottom, you'll get it working.

polar hound
simple shore
#

Just remember - SE's policy on ACT is "Dont Ask, Dont Tell". Never discuss anything about it in game, or use what you know by using it against someone in game.

#

You can and will get banned for using it IF you use it to shit on people.

silent pulsar
#

does anyone know how to get a quick party for the trails...waited 1 hour and couldnt find anyone

simple shore
#

You could try a PF and say its first time, sometimes people will join and carry you unsynced for the quick poetics bonus. What trial are you stuck on queue for?

silent pulsar
#

cape westwind

#

and im in mana anima

simple shore
#

Try queueing around whatever daily reset time is there. idk if that DC's reset is the same as NA's.

obsidian patio
#

make sure that your duty finder is searching for japanese players, since you're on a JP server

simple shore
#

but if you queue at the same time as the daily reset, you'll have alot of people queueing for Trials Roulette who might get sucked into your group.

#

Whereas right now, not many people are queueing for that because the day is almost over

obsidian patio
#

Duty Finder > cog at the top of the menu > make sure the J and E are on

silent pulsar
#

okay thanks guys

#

u really saved me

tulip plover
#

So when does monk get crazy damage

simple shore
#

hah....

tulip plover
weary umbra
#

level 30

simple shore
#

It doesnt, really.

obsidian patio
#

They get a pretty decent curve for their relative damage increases

tulip plover
#

I just got demolish

obsidian patio
#

there's no real big spike to their damage outside of the traits that increase their GL max stacks

tulip plover
#

And met my super saiyan monk brethren

obsidian patio
#

I guess Riddle of Fire and Brotherhood help a good amount since you get actual damage cooldowns?

simple shore
#

They're definitely not OP or anything though. They're very middle-of-the-road in terms of DPS jobs.

tulip plover
#

It said they do second best in dps tho >.>

simple shore
#

Whatever "it" is that said that

rare karma
#

Is there a way to change the design of my characters clothes without armor
(Trying to do glam with emperors robe)

minor crater
#

hey im not sure if this is the right place to ask but, is there a "best way" to farm phantsmorgia atm?

simple shore
#

Was wrong, and you're getting bad advice.

tulip plover
#

Oh well still love monk

obsidian patio
#

@rare karma if you mean the default clothing/underwear with nothing equipped, no.

rare karma
#

Ah that sucks

obsidian patio
#

In terms of personal damage, the top DPS are SAM/SMN/BLM/MCH with MNK at 5th

#

for damage including raid utility, replace MCH with NIN

tulip plover
#

Well since everything is useful i guess it really doesnt matter?

obsidian patio
#

\o/

tulip plover
#

Cuz monk is too fun

leaden ginkgo
tulip plover
#

I have a super saiyan master :0

obsidian patio
#

I think I'd suggest moving the Blood gauge in a more visible spot to easily keep track of your blackblood once you get that trait.

simple shore
#

Yeah the blood gauge is gonna go striaght into your first hotbar, lol

tulip plover
#

I usually keep my guage where the inv is

#

And take away the inv dots

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh isee

#

so something like that?

simple shore
#

Wrong element.

#

The gauge comes out of the grit indicator

tulip plover
obsidian patio
#

With how your UI is currently set up the Grit/Blackblood gauge will cover up part of your hotbar

leaden ginkgo
#

ah, right

#

so it basically extends when activated?

obsidian patio
#

once you get the trait, yes.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh alright, when is that exactly?

simple shore
obsidian patio
#

!trait blackblood

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Blackblood** : lvl 62 DRK

Allows for Blood Gauge accumulation upon the landing of certain actions.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh okay, thanks!

#

and that'll inspire me ty šŸ™‚

jade saddle
#

New player/SMN..I got the Ironworks gear thinking it was best but see far higher Intelligence on market board items, and when I buy some of it, it's recommended over Ironworks when I do equipment select.

simple shore
#

Its the "best" at level 50. As soon as you stop being level 50, it stops being best.

#

Well, 52 or 54 probably

obsidian patio
#

Did you check to make sure that the items you bought on the marketboard were ones you could equip?

jade saddle
#

yeah

#

ok Balmerick..I'm 60. <facepalm>

simple shore
#

Yeah that's big rip. At 60 the best is Shire, but i'm guessing you might not be far enough in MSQ yet.

jade saddle
#

not done with ARR yet

obsidian patio
#

Are the items you bought in your armoury? the recommended equipment button doesn't check your inventory

simple shore
#

Yeah, then you dont have access to it

#

Dont get rid of it though. Save that ironworks stuff for if you decide to level BLM/RDM later, it'll be a nice power spike.

jade saddle
#

ah, right ok.

outer quest
#

so do I have corrupted files and have to uninstall I posted like way back when that my game insta crashed when trying to load the rival wings map with no pop or anything so it was unplayable for me

#

now I was going to the prima vista and it insta crashed the exact same way as the rival wings except I can't just wait until the game is over so im kinda stuck with ffxiv being unplayable right now

celest herald
#

If I start playing free trial on ps4, can I transfer my progress to pc buy the game there?

slate arrow
#

yes

median locust
#

That does sound like corrupted files, Largos. I'd try a reinstall

boreal aurora
#

msq find the kojin village i cant find it

#

and i cant dive

median locust
#

There's a cave off a cliff on the island to the east

#

Follow said cave and it should lead you there

leaden ginkgo
#

does making additional lvl 80 relic weapons require some resource to be brought ?

#

like tomes or w/e

outer quest
#

well hope it works turned off firewall while its reinstalling in hope it helps

median locust
#

Yes, 4 Thavnarian Scalepower which are 250 poetics each

outer quest
#

because if it doesn't im kinda screwed

median locust
#

Can buy them in Mor Dhona

leaden ginkgo
#

oh okay ^-^

median locust
#

If you can login to other characters fine then I'm 99% certain it's corrupted files

acoustic island
#

is black mage supposed to run out of mana all the time

faint flare
#

Thats its gimmic

median locust
#

Yes, you're supposed to switch to Umbral Ice using ice spells to regen mana

faint flare
#

You spend all mana on fire then swap to ice to regen

simple shore
#

Yes. You should read a guide on how to play BLM, its the core mechanic.

median locust
#

Being in Umbral Ice makes you regen mana a lot faster than normal

celest herald
#

so I don’t see a free trial version on my ps4, can I buy the standard edition and then buy the deluxe edition on pc?

median locust
#

So you're supposed to spend all your mana on fire spells, then switch to ice to let it regen, then go back to fire and repeat

slate arrow
#

It's the only 2.0 class to start with a job gauge for a reason, since it's gimmick is introduced at level 1

#

You spend your mana on your fire phase, and then use your ice to refill your mana.

#

If you're lazy, below level 10 you can just spam ice

wet finch
#

Does anyone know if FFXIV JP or Yoshi-P have official Twitter accounts? I want to send them a thank you in Japanese for being awesome.

median locust
#

@celest herald If you buy the standard edition on PS4 then you'll have to buy it again on PC to be able to play on PC

celest herald
#

Does buying the standard edition on ps4 lock me out of the deluxe edition on pc? For some reason the ps store doesn’t list the free trial >.>

median locust
#

It doesn't

#

what do you mean by deluxe edition

#

the Complete edition?

celest herald
#

Yeah

#

the one with all the expansions

slate arrow
#

@celest herald 1: no it doesn't, the only lockout that exists is either if you buy standalone or steam

#

2: the two most important keys you need are the Starter Edition and Shadowbringers. Complete comes with both, but it's still recommended you buy the Complete edition just to make it not as headachy later

median locust
#

And you have to buy both for each version you want to play on

wet finch
#

PS4 and PC have different licenses for the same account. If you have standard on PC and complete on PS4, you can't play any expansions on PC.

#

But you can always upgrade the PC license to unlock all the content on that platform

celest herald
#

So I see the trail version on PlayStation website but can’t find it on my actual ps4..... and I don’t want to pay 20 bucks for the standard edition when I know I’ll buy the complete on ps4.... Sony is annoying right now lol

slate arrow
pseudo musk
#

is there an appropriate place on this discord to find people to help with an unsynced alex run?

celest herald
#

I mean complete edition on pc

slate arrow
#

@celest herald the Free Trial should be listed as a demo under the Starter Edition I think

celest herald
#

Okay I’ll try to find it thanks

slate arrow
#

I'm assuming you're playing from the US, so here's the US PSN listing for the Complete Edition

celest herald
#

@slate arrow you’re a life saver lol found the demo

#

I’ll be transferring to complete edition on pc since myocardial is being shipped šŸ™‚

slate arrow
#

šŸ‘

#

One question, are you planning on buying off of steam for PC?

celest herald
#

I was scared to play on ps4 because I like mouse and keyboard but I’ll be playing conjured so I just need 2 buttons lol

slate arrow
#

There is a sale going on on Steam for FFXIV right now

median locust
#

You can play on M/KB on PS4 too

slate arrow
#

You can save the key for later, if you desire.

median locust
#

If you have the USB ports for it lol

slate arrow
#

That too.

#

FFXIV has full keyboard and mouse support on ps4

celest herald
#

I have a keyboard but my tv sits opposite my bed so nowhere to place my keyboard

slate arrow
#

only funky thing being the mouse is handled via FFXIV instead of the PS4 so the cursor might be a bit jerky

median locust
#

Other way around is also true, you can play on controller on PC

slate arrow
#

@celest herald back to my question, there's a sale going on on Steam for FFXIV right now, and we don't know when the next sale might be for either standalone or steam. Steam sales are usually very rare, while standalone does go on sale more often.

median locust
#

And yeah even if they play on controller, PS4 players tend to have a keyboard plugged in so they can use chat more easily

slate arrow
#

It's your call.

ionic hazel
#

Im getting Error Code: i2501 when trying to make a purchase

#

it doesnt even bring me to the page where I can put my details

slate arrow
#

Reset your password and use a different browser

#

I1205 is the generic error code so it doesn't tell us a lot

#

I mean 2501

#

uhhh

ionic hazel
slate arrow
#

Yeah 2501 is just the generic something went wrong code

celest herald
#

It says I already own a realm reborn, which I assume is the standard edition of the game but like it still wants to charge me 20? If I have the game shouldn’t it be free to download?

ionic hazel
#

tried diff browser

#

still the same

slate arrow
#

@celest herald what shows up in your library?

celest herald
#

nothing

#

This is a new psn account

slate arrow
#

what about your Mogstation account?

celest herald
#

I have an account but haven’t bought anything

slate arrow
#

(is the Starter Edition still free on PSN? I have no clue.)

celest herald
#

starter edition is 20

median locust
#

Nah that ended over a month ago

slate arrow
#

aight

#

well first you need a Mogstation account for FFXIV

#

and then you sign into that Mogstation account on the Free Trial application

celest herald
#

the ps4 has a free trail app for ff14?

slate arrow
median locust
#

Check on Mogstation what it says you own. If it says you own A Realm Reborn, then that means you own the game and aren't eligible for the free trial. Are you sure you never picked the game up when it was free at some point?

celest herald
#

Positive but I’ll go onto my laptop to check my account lol

median locust
#

I think it was only free once on PS4 and once on PC (but that one's been a while)

slate arrow
#

the PC one was via Twitch Prime

quaint violet
#

So I bought FFXIV, I had the free version but like after buying the compete edition it just removed the game from my steam and is at "Creating Local Game files"

slate arrow
#

Just wait.

celest herald
#

Says account type free trail

quaint violet
#

I've been at this for like over after half an hour now

slate arrow
#

Restart steam then

#

@celest herald aight so you should be able to download the trial just fine then

alpine shadow
#

Just delete the game as a whole, then re install if it you have a good internet and dont mind redownloading

slate arrow
#

If PSN is trying to get you to buy the starter edition, back out and remove it from your cart

alpine shadow
#

since you have now the complete edition, you would have to download all the expansions anyway

celest herald
#

I just tried that but it keeps saying unable to purchase due to having a realm reborn which I clearly don’t

alpine shadow
#

PSN not tied to your account?

slate arrow
#

@obsidian patio PS4 shenanigans, send help

median locust
#

Have you ever used another PSN account with that Mogstation account?

#

PSN accounts get tied to Mogstation accounts and the only way to unlink them is to contact support iirc

celest herald
#

Uhhh this psn account is brand new and I made my mpg station yesterday so like

#

mog*

alpine shadow
#

so, you just bought the game?

celest herald
#

Nope

#

Made an account in preparation for buying the game

alpine shadow
#

ok, but you can't launch ffxiv as a trial cause you already own it?

celest herald
#

I can’t download the free trail on ps4 because it says I own a realm reborn

alpine shadow
#

then you must have bought it

celest herald
#

So why does it tell me to pay 20 for starter edition?

alpine shadow
#

can you try downloading a realm reborn then?

#

oh?

slate arrow
#

can you try downloading the Starter Edition then

#

Go to the Free Trial page and press download

celest herald
#

realm reborn is not listed on PlayStation store as a game but as a service that creates new accounts

#

I’m at my cart and it wants 20 lol

faint flare
#

Starter edition is arr

celest herald
#

wow this catch 22 is crazy

slate arrow
#

A Realm Reborn is the starter edition

alpine shadow
celest herald
#

can’t play trail because I own arr can’t download arr for free even if I own it? The fuck Sony

warped nest
#

If you own it.... Then why are you claiming free copy?

slate arrow
#

Did you press add to cart or try free demo

alpine shadow
#

can you show us some screenshots?

celest herald
#

Ok

warped nest
#

If you have ARR (PC), you have to buy ARR (PS4)

alpine shadow
#

@warped nest he says the Free Demo says its saying he owns it, but he cant download it, cause he needs to pay.

slate arrow
#

Basically, what the fuck are you on, Sony

celest herald
#

Okay here’s a string of screenshots lol

median locust
#

They said it was a fresh Mogstaion account and a fresh PSN account

celest herald
#

So I press tell me more fam

#

So then I say okay let me get arr then

median locust
#

Remove starter edition from your cart first then try again

celest herald
median locust
#

just in case that's the problem

celest herald
#

I only added to cart to see if it was free

slate arrow
#

What does your library say?

median locust
#

Try it anyway

celest herald
#

Okay. My library doesn’t list any ff14

median locust
#

Remove from cart then try downloading the free trial again

celest herald
#

removed from cart, still can’t download trail

alpine shadow
#

is there a free trial option when you go to the normal starter edition page?

celest herald
#

Yes

#

But I can’t download it

#

As seen in screenshot

slate arrow
#

Sony please

#

At this point, all I can say is contact Sony support

#

We can't do much from here cause

#

something's fucked up beyond customer control

celest herald
#

I’ll just wait for my pc to come in but thanks for all your help. Truly appreciate it and apologize for wasting all of our time lol

alpine shadow
#

i guess just buy it 🤷

celest herald
#

yeah I’ll buy it on pc

median locust
#

I'd say play the free trial before buying cause you can't go back to free trial after buying

alpine shadow
#

did you have the free trial already installed?

median locust
#

You'll HAVE to pay your sub

alpine shadow
#

on the system

celest herald
#

nope

#

Or else it would show up in my library

#

which it doesn’t

alpine shadow
#

ah ok

celest herald
#

Yeah gonna donfree trail on pc, it was hoping to get my feet wet on ps4 while my pc is being shipped 😦

slate arrow
#

Speaking of which, if you want FFXIV on steam, buy it now instead of waiting for your PC

#

The sale ends July 9th but the key works until the end of time

celest herald
#

is it the complete edition?

slate arrow
#

all

#

Starter, complete, and Shadowbringers

alpine shadow
#

does FFXIV A Realm Reborn not show up at all when you search it up on store?

#

cause i can find it

celest herald
#

I can find it but it’s not the game

#

It says for people who want to add a second account

alpine shadow
#

try it?

slate arrow
#

This is the US PSN we're talking about right

celest herald
#

Sure I’ll try

alpine shadow
#

idk what it means by "second account"

slate arrow
#

Second Service account

#

All Mogstation accounts can have up to 2 service accounts (or more?)

#

if you want a second PSN key, this is how you do it I think?

celest herald
#

Tell me more fam

#

But you just said I owned a realm reborn......

median locust
#

If you go to the standard edition page, what does it say

celest herald
#

Says pay me 20

alpine shadow
#

thats starter

slate arrow
#

Contact Sony support is all I can say

#

We're just running in circles

median locust
#

PS Store is the big dumb

alpine shadow
#

idk you probably have gotten free trial from PS from a diff region or something

celest herald
#

I feel like this should be the plot to stranger things season 3

slate arrow
celest herald
#

anyway thanks again lol I’ll just wait and watch YouTube videos

#

Now for a more technical question, will the game run smooth at maxed settings, 4k on a rx 5700xt graphics card?

slate arrow
#

yes on maxed settings, depends for 4k

#

to be frank for a game like this 4k is overkill

#

Doesn't even run at 1440p on the PS4 pro

#

really this game is CPU bound more often than not anyways

acoustic island
#

whats max lvl for blue mage with shadowbringer

median locust
#

lv60

slate arrow
#

60

acoustic island
#

why is the lvl cap so low?"

median locust
#

Because it's not a "real" job and it's basically its own thing

#

If it was the same level as everyone else then it would be a nightmare to balance

faint flare
#

SE is raising its cap very slowly

#

Cause they need to make the spells and do boss adjustments for Blue (if any)

#

Since it does some wacky shit

acoustic island
#

is it useable in end game content?

slate arrow
#

For reference, it does as much DPS as a level 80 job at 60 assuming you have all the big DPS spells unlocked

#

that's how broken it is

faint flare
#

Noooo

#

Its only 60

median locust
#

It's useable in old expansions' endgame content. But not current endgame content.

faint flare
#

^

median locust
#

Like you can run old lv50-60 raids with it, but not lv70-80

faint flare
#

You can do old Savage raids with ot and there's achievements for doing old raids with it

#

And you get the morbol mount for doing all the old raids with full blue, synced and no echo

molten spruce
#

what does the mission a recurring problem unlock?

median locust
#

A lv50 version of the Ifrit fight

#

You need to do it to continue the main story at some point

faint flare
#

Hard mode of ifirit, titan and garuda

#

All 3 need to be done for the story

molten spruce
#

ok

vivid wolf
#

When is the best time to start a second class? Currently playing as dragoon but i feel like i would like bard more

median locust
#

Whenever you feel like it, there isn't really a bad time

vivid wolf
#

Wouldn't it cause problems with msq?

#

Like being seriously underleveled

median locust
#

You'd have to get back there through other means

#

Hunting logs, Fates, sidequests till lv15, dungeons or Palace of the dead after that till 60 (depends where you're at)

#

But it won't get easier later, that's why I say there isn't a bad time

vivid wolf
#

Alright, currently lvl 38dragoon, was planning on powering through the msq first

twin sable
#

Hey . Returning player . Playing eso atm but seeing the flaws . I have a level 60/70(?) toon but it feels so complicated and have no idea what’s going on. Ideal to make a new character? I play on PS4 and I’m from india with English being my preferred language so any suggestions/advice will be appreciated šŸ™‚

vivid wolf
#

Guess ill just switch now

median locust
#

To be fair Dragoon isn't that interesting till like 60-70

#

It's your choice in the end

magic light
#

fumble around, probably

#

starting a new character is a chore

vivid wolf
#

Ill probably get all classes eventually

twin sable
#

A chore?

#

I have plenty of time on my hands

median locust
#

@twin sable Just pick your character back up and either hit a training dummy to get your rotation back in muscle memory, or level a new class from lv1

twin sable
#

Chore as in the msq? Or generally?

magic light
#

chore as in msq

#

yes

#

it's painfully slow

twin sable
#

Ah. Ok

but if you insist on starting a new char, go ahead

twin sable

šŸ™‚

median locust
#

If you wanna replay the MSQ go ahead and create a new character if you're gonna have to play from lv1 anyway

twin sable
#

Yeah. Me and 2 friends wanna play it. And they haven’t done lates the game ever so I thought it made sense to start with em

#

I’ll still have my other toon anyway

#

Any tips on which server to choose and all that?

slate arrow
#

Either Europe or Japan

faint flare
#

Preferred server if possible for the xp bonus

slate arrow
#

Your latency will be about the same to either

twin sable
#

Japan will have many English speaking players ?

magic light
#

only in tonberry or kujata

faint flare
#

There's some English communities

magic light
#

if you're connecting from india

slate arrow
#

Japan servers most ENg speakers cluster around tonberry and kujaka

twin sable
#

Ah ok. But not like eu servers ya?

vivid wolf
#

so how would i go about leveling a second character if i dont have the msq available?

#

just do sidequests?

median locust
#

Hunting log, Fates, sidequests

#

in that order iirc

vivid wolf
#

duties too?

slate arrow
#

dungeons at level 15+

vivid wolf
#

alright, what was that palace of the dead thing?

#

doesnt really ring a bell

slate arrow
#

Unlocked in the gridania inn

#

should be a bluequest there

vivid wolf
#

yeah i unlocked it, but dont think i ever visited

slate arrow
#

go to quarrymill

median locust
#

It unlocks at like lv17. it's a "roguelike" dungeon with a separate levelling system for 4 players. You get a chunk of exp anytime you complete a set of 10 floors

slate arrow
#

I can't remember who but near the river in quarrymill should be the expedition chief

vivid wolf
#

good xp for solo players?

slate arrow
#

Talk to him in order to go into Palace of the Dead

vivid wolf
#

or does it also have the logn queue time

median locust
#

Get to floors 51-60 normally, clear it once then you'll be able to start from there. Delete your save, run 51-60 again, rinse and repeat. 51-60 over and over is the most efficient way to level a DPS if you don't have good dungeon queues

slate arrow
#

For DPS yes since it takes any 4 instead of needing a tank and healer

median locust
#

Palace of the Dead is special as in it doesn't require a tank or healer

#

So queues are fast regardless of role

vivid wolf
#

but i can run it without a premade party, right?

slate arrow
#

yes

median locust
#

Yeah you can queue to get people

slate arrow
#

but only up to floor 100

vivid wolf
#

Alright, guess ill give that a go asap

slate arrow
#

there's 200 floors but you only go past 60 for the loot

vivid wolf
#

Don't think leveling an Archer to like lvl 15 would take long

median locust
#

Yeah you just spam 51-60 over and over if you want exp

faint flare
#

The fun part is getting there

#

Since not too many people run lower floors

median locust
#

You can go in Palace before 15 but then it's just faster to level outside of it

slate arrow
#

^

median locust
#

Yeah queues might take a bit before you reach 51-60. Once you unlock it you can spam 51-60 without having to do it again though, you'll be set

tulip plover
#

What race is kan-e-sama?

vivid wolf
#

the annoying race

forest laurel
#

hyur I guess?

tulip plover
#

But they have horns tho._.

forest laurel
#

oh uhhh

vivid wolf
#

are those horns?

#

i thought they were just like a crown

tulip plover
#

I didnt even notice till i saw her brother

forest laurel
#

I think she's padjal

strange coral
#

They are called padjali

tulip plover
#

Why cant we play as them?

forest laurel
#

because no

tulip plover
#

Are they near extinct or something?

vivid wolf
#

SE says no

tulip plover
#

Thats weird

#

Theyre only like 2 of them

vivid wolf
#

I want to play as cactuar

#

But we dont get what we want

tulip plover
#

Cactuar race for next expansion

forest laurel
#

The Padjal are mysterious, holy figures in Gridanian culture in Final Fantasy XIV. They are seemingly unaging children born rarely from certain Hyur bloodlines in the Twelveswood

tulip plover
#

Ah so theyre rare humans

#

No wonder

#

How much further till hw i beat ramuh

vivid wolf
#

Dumb question, where do i get gear when i start a new class?

median locust
#

you're like 75% of the way I think

#

through the 100 quests

vivid wolf
#

I feel like cupid in underwear and a bow

tulip plover
#

Ok thank jesus its been 3 days

median locust
#

At lv1 there isn't much. Every major city has a gear vendor though

#

lemme check to be sure, booty

tulip plover
#

So does kan ever sit down?

#

Ive never seen her sit down

#

Its concerning

jade quartz
#

Yes

median locust
#

Ok nevermind you're like halfway

jade quartz
#

She sits in chairs on multiple occasions in the story

tulip plover
#

Oh no wait in ul dah

jade quartz
#

Please look forward to it

I thought she had strong legs up under that robe like arnold swartzeneger in is prime

molten spruce
#

in a relic reborn, it orders me to deliver a materia enhanced champions lance to gerolt, how do i do this?

median locust
#

Get a champion's lance, get some materia, go to a materia melder NPC and meld the materia to it

#

Then turn it in

molten spruce
#

ok i know that part

#

but

#

where do i get em

jade quartz
#

Marketboard

median locust
#

Marketboard is the easiest way

jade quartz
#

The weapon is crafted, the materia are got via materia extraction or other materia sources

#

But you should just go to the marketboard

#

Make sure you get the exact materia specified. Some people may be selling them on the marketboard already-melded.

molten spruce
#

where is the market board in gridania

jade quartz
#

Walk north from the main aetheryte

molten spruce
#

in the stalls?

jade quartz
#

Or east from the leatherworker’s guild

median locust
#

Or TP to Leatherworkers' Guild aetheryte

jade quartz
#

Ebony and rosewood stalls yes

#

That’s the market district

molten spruce
#

these ppl asking for 100k

#

goddamn

#

half my gil

jade quartz

That’s far too much

#

Hi! Which channel for kupo bot questions?

jade quartz

where should i look

median locust
#

Use World Visit and check another server's market board

junior tundra
#

what time does your sub decrease by a day by

median locust
#

The time you last renewed it afaik

jade quartz
#

You can ask us questions about kupo bot here, but using commands for yourself goes in #kupo-bot-spam @blissful veldt

Kupo bot responds to this command as wall as Discal bot and it is very messy

outer quest
#

well reinstalled it and it still crashed

#

so I guess it's something specific about those two areas my laptop just can't seem to handle or something

median locust
#

Can you try taking out your character config folders from the original folder (while the game isn't running), then trying again?

#

Like in Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy XIV etc

#

Maybe it's the character configuration file that's corrupted

#

it doesn't get deleted when you reinstall

Could someone join the off topic voice chanell for just a quick second? I just have something to ask about square enix accounts and its easier over voice

outer quest
#

so i move the character config files out of the ffxiv folder then reinstall?

median locust
#

Move it out then launch the game and try to login

#

There should be a folder for each character

#

Remove just that one character's folder

outer quest
#

Oh I did that and it didn't work again

median locust
#

I'd probably try updating your GPU drivers next

acoustic island
#

is there a way to have keybinds be individual per class

vagrant copper
#

Not really. The only thing that really changes between classes is the hotbar. That means anything that goes on the hotbar can be done per class.

jade quartz
#

Um technically you could have multiple hud layouts and swap hotbars with different hotkeys on them... but that would cause its own problems as you can’t have the same keybind on more than one hotbar

#

So realistically no

molten spruce
#

how do i unlock amdapor keep?

noble ember
#

Question about materia melds. Let's say I have a chest piece, I can have two materia melded into that. Then I can place 3more if I have a lvl 80 DoH for a total of 5 materia per gear?

faint flare
#

Only specific gear, crafted gear, can be overmelded by crafters

#

Aka neo ishgardian for combat

gloomy ice
#

Five is the max for any piece of gear.

faint flare
#

Tome and raid gear cant be overmelded

gloomy ice
#

So for your example, it would be three more melds.

noble ember
#

Okay, is there a limit to which materia I can overmeld? Like if I had the resources could they all be +20 (gathering viii for example)

little swift
#

Gear will have "advanced melding forbidden" in the tooltip if you can't overmeld it

gloomy ice
#

It depends on the piece but the meld window shows you how much of any stat you can cram into it

faint flare
#

You can only put 1 tier 8/6 in overmeld slots

little swift
#

You can only overmeld 8s to up to the 3rd slot out of 5

faint flare
#

The others have to be 5, 7s or lower

molten spruce
#

how do i unlock amdapor keep?

noble ember
#

Ohhhhhhhh! So I could essentially do 3 8s, and 2 7s for max potential melds.

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Thats what you do

little swift
faint flare
#

First 3 melds are 8, last 2 7s

noble ember
#

Thank you for explaining it!!! Makes sense now!

little swift
#

"One night in amdapor" is the quest name iirc@molten spruce

gloomy ice
#

@molten spruce Nedrick Ironheart in Vesper Bay iirc. Quest is Ghosts of Amdapor.

molten spruce
#

where do i pick it up?

#

ohh

#

ppl where saying serpent commander lol

little swift
#

If you just finished a realm reborn there should be a lot of bluequest available that unlock new dungeons and trials

molten spruce
#

he says i have to do aurum vale first

#

but i dont have that on my duty finder

little swift
#

Do aurum vale first then

#

Also a bluequest

molten spruce
#

from nedrick?

little swift
#

Uhhhh yes?

#

Can't recall

gloomy ice
#

Yeah, Going for Gold

molten spruce
#

braving new depths is what he gives

#

and hatalali something

gloomy ice
#

Those would be Sunken Temple of Qarn and Halatali, respectively. Level 35 and level 20 dungeons.

#

Hmm

#

Well, both of those are basically required for GC ranks so wouldn't hurt to unlock them

molten spruce
#

yeah im on it, but im tryna finish this relic, its starting to be a hassle

#

it says the quest giver for aurum vale is nedrick, but he doesnt give me the option, maybe i have to do thos two quests first?

gloomy ice
#

Perhaps? It's been a long time and I don't recall if clearing those was required or not.

little swift
#

He should be the one with all those quests clearing them off may open more of them

molten spruce
#

he just gave me quest

#

weird

finite socket
#

What does the end game consist of content wise ?

leaden ginkgo
#

savage and ultimate raids

median locust
#

If you include everything at level cap, there's also dungeons, normal raids, alliance raids, trials and extreme trials, map dungeons etc

#

You can also go back and do older content you haven't done yet like old relics, old raids, etc

#

farming old fights for mounts

#

farming old fights for glamour

#

there's tons of stuff to do

inner spire
#

Does this game have p2win ways? Or is it mostly f2play?

dense pier
#

I want to say, from an economic standpoint It's P2W with retainers and the inventory space they provide

#

but that's about it

#

You can still make money

median locust
#

It's only free up to level 35, you have to pay for the game and a subscription to play past it

dense pier
#

but having an army of retainers makes a huge difference in gathering materials and selling enmass

inner spire
#

Oooh its like world of warcraft?

median locust
#

But if you mean like, can you pay real cash for better gear or an advantage ingame? No.

faint flare
#

Yes

median locust
#

Like WoW yeah.

faint flare
#

You pay for convenience, like jump pots

#

Thats it

dense pier
#

There is nothing on the mogstation that affects main progression or in-game stats at all

faint flare
#

And extra retainers

dense pier
#

Yup

median locust
#

Cash shop is 95% outfits but you still have tons of outfits to choose from ingame

faint flare
#

Mogstation is only like 1% of glamours

median locust
#

Outfits, minions and mounts*

dense pier
#

Also, has anyone here ran into issues where their retainers sold stuff hours ago but there is zero gil to withdraw still?

faint flare
#

The retainer list doesn't auto update

dense pier
#

No no

#

I checked

#

Their gil balance is 0

#

Nothing withdrawable

#

I've already put in a GM ticket but yeah, stuff sold overnight when I was sleeping

faint flare
#

Cant say i have

outer quest
#

Fatter cat is mandatory

dense pier
#

I've been saying for the longest time that retainers are stealing gil...

faint flare
#

How else are they paying for those walls you keep getting

dense pier
#

Is it cheaper to repair with Dark Matter or the item menders?

gloomy ice
#

Self repair goes past 100%

jade quartz
#

Dark matter

dense pier
#

I know it goes past 100%

median locust
#

Dark Matter definitely

dense pier
#

Alright good to know

#

I'll definitely be stockpiling more on it

gloomy ice
#

Since you can max it out at 199%, I'd say it's the better option, yeah.

median locust
#

Can't remember exactly but iirc repairing an entire set at like 10-20% condition is 6-7k~ at a mender? And Dark Matter is 200 gil per piece and it gives you 100%

dense pier
#

Think it depends on the gear

#

but lower-level gear requires lower-level dark matter

median locust
#

You can still use Grade 7 on lower level gear

dense pier
#

Also since I'm repairing level 70 gear the highest level dark matter is all I need to worry about

#

Yeah, but more expensive tho

#

Idk how the math adds up at lower levels

#

But I'll go with the simpler option

median locust
#

I'd rather do that than have 7 slots taken in my inventory by default, lol

dusky echo
#

I wouldnt call retainers pay to win

#

you send them out on 50 min trips to gather a fairly small amount of a ressource

#

it adds up but having 8 vs 2 just means you have to grind more storm seals

tulip plover
#

Do u have to unlock hw for GB

gloomy ice
#

As long as you have ShB, you can unlock Gunbreaker at level 60. It isn't gated behind main quests like the HW jobs.

#

Unlock is in Gridania

raven sage
#

You do need to have foundation unlocked for job quests though

silver ruin
tulip plover
#

What is shb?

raven sage
#

shadowbringers. the latest expansion

tulip plover
#

Oh ok

gloomy ice
#

@silver ruin They need to do the quest An Ill-conceived Venture in any of the three starting cities to unlock retainer ventures before they can assign a job.

silver ruin
#

ok thanks

vivid wolf
#

really dumb question probably, but is bard mostly dps or support?

#

seems like it can do a bit of both

tulip plover
#

Uhhhh ....yes

raven sage
#

It's both yeah

dense pier
#

He can chunk out damage but I believe his strength is buffing his party's damage

vivid wolf
#

i guess it's considered dps in matchmaking?

raven sage
#

In this game support doesn't mean healer

#

It just means their kit has support elements

#

If anything your support is just inherently baked into your dps

tulip plover
#

Yea like ninja

#

The supportssssss

blissful veldt
#

Hello a kupo bot question. Is there any way to tell kupo bot not to use !event command? I have another bot in my bots channel that uses this command and the result is messy when both respond. Thank you.

zealous bridge
#

What class play

median locust
#

Check first pin

onyx kiln
vocal venture
#

How's RDM Currently? Dps wise, is it at the bottom?

remote lintel
#

for casters yes

median locust
#

It is a mount, it costs 6 Clan Mark Logs which in turn cost 3000 Centurio seals total

zealous bridge
#

Is Job like in maple story

#

is that what Job is

remote lintel
#

never played maple story

#

jobs are upgrades to classes

zealous bridge
#

oh okay so it is maple story

remote lintel
#

so you would start as a lancer then upgrade to dragoon

median locust
#

Buy the Clan mark Logs at the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard then turn them in at the vendor on the right in Idyllshire for "Wyvern Horn", under Uncanny Knicknacks

#

@vocal venture RDM are kind of in the middle damage wise

#

But no job is bad enough to not be viable

#

Being good at your job is more important than the job you picked

crimson wind
#

How important is sps on RDM?

sick glen
#

how may i become Scholar what are the requirements

faint flare
#

Its the lowest value stat Wol

crimson wind
#

ok thanks

median locust
#

Get Arcanist to level 30, do all the class quests then there will be an unlock quest for it at the Arcanist's Guild

faint flare
#

Get arcanist to 30 and complete slyph management msq for the job quest to appear after all arcanist job quests are done

dense pier
#

Is it safe to say I should convert all skins to leathers? Seems there aren't really any recipes besides a few skybuilders that use skins at a quick glance

sick glen
#

completing all the quests doesnt make me summoner?

faint flare
#

Arcanist goes into 2 jobs

remote lintel
#

summoner and scholar have 2 different questlines

faint flare
#

And they level together

remote lintel
#

they branch out

median locust
#

There's gonna be 2 unlock quests. One for Scholar, one for Summoner

remote lintel
#

the questline for scholar should be in limsa

sick glen
#

oh so first i need arcanist 30 to open the quest correct

remote lintel
#

and get far enough in the msq

#

and do your job quests

#

but yes

sick glen
#

the job quest the every 5 levels

severe yarrow
#

How possible is it to run 3 DPS through Heaven on High all the way to floor 100? Is a tank absolutely necessary?

median locust
#

Very possible, people have done it solo on every class except Astrologian

#

Difficulty will vary though

#

Floors 70+ mobs start to hit really hard so it'll be easier if you have a tank

severe yarrow
#

Yeaaah that's why I asked. I got to floor 75-ish with gunbreaker/dancer combo and the DPS just wasn't enough to survive the mobs. Was wondering if the solution is just three DPSs or if we need Tank-DPS-Healer

median locust
#

The timer is your enemy all the way until the end no matter the comp. How much DPS you do just changes how patient you can be

jade quartz
#

More aetherpool levels Alex

#

Are probably what you need.

severe yarrow
#

We're alllll 99/99 and it still felt slow ;w;

median locust
#

Oh yeah you need 99/99.

jade quartz
#

Well then

clever cave
#

You dont need 99/99 lol

jade quartz
#

Be very careful what you pull and focus stuff down

clever cave
#

I soloed to 180 with like 60/60

median locust
#

talking heaven on high

jade quartz
#

That’s all I can say

clever cave
#

O sht hoh idk

jade quartz
#

And use pomanders wisely.

clever cave
#

Drink pots and stuff

jade quartz
#

Yeah, bring the regen pots

#

They’re worth it

severe yarrow
#

Oh those potsherd ones?

median locust
#

Mobs generally hit harder in HoH so it'll be harder without 99/99 (but that's unrelated to the question)

clever cave
#

Well those r rly op should save for solo attempts

#

In a group just use mega pots

median locust
#

And yes, chug regen pots and super pots

#

Super important in the later floors

#

especially without a healer

severe yarrow
#

got it. thanks!

median locust

And you probably have it already, but here's a guide that explains how to deep dungeon and which mobs to watch out for in every set of floors

very useful

tardy hollow
#

do people still play nidhogg's rage extreme? i need to farm the scale

median locust
#

Yes, but they don't queue for it. They farm unsync using party finder.

tardy hollow
#

should i find a group for that or can i solo it?

median locust
#

Some classes can solo it at lv80 with good gear but it'll be more efficient with a group of a few people

#

at least

jade quartz
#

Can be soloed but that’s not worth the time and effort if you want to farm something

tardy hollow
#

i probably cant solo it as 80 whm then, where could i find players to run it with?

median locust
#

Party Finder like I said

tardy hollow
#

i never thought of looking there im so stupid lol

forest laurel
#

if you wanna solo HW extremes, go paladin.

#

it CAN be done with other jobs but paladin's the go-to job for doing HW extremes solo.

#

I think I saw a WHM do Sophia EX?

vivid wolf
#

How do i activate steam stormblood? found conflicting answers online

median locust
#

Buy Shadowbringers and register it

#

it includes past expansions

vivid wolf
#

shadowbriners was what i meant, my bad

median locust
#

Note: You can't register a Steam version of anything if your standard edition wasn't bought on steam.

vagrant copper
#

You'd need to get the CD-Key from Steam and register on Mogstation

got standard on steam and bought the expansion on there thoo

Like this?

faint flare
#

No

twin sable
#

😦

faint flare
#

Open command promt

#

On your computer

strange coral
#

Your ip address is not needed. Only the dataceter ip. And type it in command prompt or terminal, not here.

twin sable
#

Ah ok

magic light
#

first, you click on the windows button

#

then, you type in, cmd

twin sable
#

Ok..

magic light
#

then you click on cmd

median locust
#

Alternatively, press Windows+R, type in cmd, then press Enter

magic light
#

copy and paste whichever ip you wanna check out

twin sable
#

Ok switching on laptop now šŸ™‚

limber seal
#

So I’m new

#

And I was wondering if I could set something to automatically target a near enemy

faint flare
#

No

#

Gotta get used to using tab

limber seal
#

That’s a big rip

#

What does the /autotarget command do so?

twin sable
#

Ok got it.

#

So the lower the ping the bette it is?

faint flare
#

Yes

twin sable
#

Ah ha!

faint flare
#

Anything under 100 is pretty good

twin sable
#

Oh ok . Checking them all now . Thank you so much for being patient!!

median locust
#

I think devs said the game was designed to be played on up to 200ms ping. But of course, the lower the better

jade quartz
#

It’s playable at 200ms in the sense that you can dodge all mechanics and AoEs in time

faint flare
#

Weaving skills becomes sketchy

jade quartz
#

But you will not be able to play some classes optimally because of double-weaving, gcd clipping...

twin sable
#

For me mana,Gaia and elemental are at 125ms,117ms,120ms respectively and they’re the lowest

jade quartz
#

That’s good

faint flare
#

Thats decently fine

twin sable
#

Nothings below 100 infact the rest are 220*

#

220+

jade quartz
#

Mana Gaia and Elemental are all located at the same physical location in Japan

twin sable
#

So if I make a character they should choose Gaia/mana/ele right?

#

Ok. I hope they have English speaking guilds

jade quartz
#

Elemental has a considerable English-speaking population so I’d recommend there

twin sable
#

Nice!

jade quartz
#

Especially on the servers Tonberry and Kujata

twin sable
#

The other ones which are 220+ are EU?

jade quartz
#

And NA

median locust
#

Chaos and Light are EU

twin sable
#

Ok

median locust
#

Aether, Primal and Crystal are NA

twin sable
#

Tonberry is part of elemental?

magic light
#

yes

#

if you're planning to make a character at tonberry

twin sable
#

Noice ok yeah logging on now!

magic light
#

what's the server cmd to check congestion?

unreal aspen
#

i rolled an alt so i could raid on a different datacenter, is there anything good to keep in mind while im leveling it up?

median locust
#

There are no congested servers atm

magic light
#

okay

#

if you're planning to make a character at tonberry now

#

you're gonna have to wait for 3 hours

#

at that point

#

everyone's asleep and you'll have space to make a character

jade quartz

3-4 hours from now, would be 3-6 a.m. for a majourity of players

faint flare
#

Yes you can swap grand companies

outer quest
#

well my drivers are up to date according to the auto update and my other character works perfectly fine so its an issue I have loading with some maps

median locust
#

You would have to swap then rank up from zero on Flames

#

And you wouldn't be able to equip Maelstrom gear anymore

leaden ginkgo
#

wow that sucks

#

so theres no way to be able to wear all the outfits

faint flare
#

Not without wasting seals on those sanctions

median locust
#

Nope, you have to be on said grand company to equip/glamour the gear

leaden ginkgo
#

i see thanks

gritty oracle
#

what's the name of the music that plays in the place where the entrance to the Dying Gasp is found? Is it obtainable as an orchestrion roll?

noble ember
#

For my Fishing Rod it only has 1 slot for materia, can I overmeld 2 level 8s past the regular slot. Or it would only be 1 level 8. (Dont wanna waste gil on to many 8s)

gritty oracle
#

faint flare
#

Only 1 tier 8 can go in overmeld slots

#

Regardless of the guaranteed slots

noble ember

Okay, and my rod is the ilvl 460

@gritty oracle ā€œWho Brings Shadowā€

gritty oracle
#

Thanks!

median locust
#

No orchestrion roll AFAIK

#

weird that you can't craft it from the EX faded roll but yeah

twin sable
#

Is Shadowbringers the newest expansion?

gritty oracle
#

yes it is

jade quartz
#

Yes

twin sable
#

Ok ty

#

Buying it :p

gritty oracle
#

next expack will likely come late 2021 summer

#

Shadowbringers purchase includes all previous expansions too

median locust
#

Doesn't include the base game though, if you don't own that you won't be able to register it

twin sable
#

I got the base

#

Ok I bought the collectors ed. Do I still need to buy gametime/subscription? Or will it give me 1 month game time?

median locust
#

You only get a free month when you buy the base game, not the expacs

#

Have to pay after that

twin sable
#

Ha ok now

#

Np*

outer quest
#

okay im going to clear some stuff of the c drive so I can install it there instead of the external hardrive

#

if that doesn't work then I dunno

faint flare
twin sable
#

Hey what’s RAF? Refer a friend? It’s legit?

vagrant copper
#

Yes and yes

faint flare
#

Yes

twin sable
#

Ah ok ty

faint flare
#

There's a subreddit for codes if you wanna grab one

#

R/FFXIVRAF

vernal girder
#

Why use broil 3 when two ruin 2 casts are stronger?

faint flare
#

Because 2 ruin casts aren't stronger

median locust
#

because you can't cast ruin 2 twice at the same time

faint flare
#

Cause yoy can do 2 broil casts

#

In the same time

unreal aspen
#

the time it takes makes it not worth it

faint flare
#

You're still restricted by the GCD

unreal aspen
#

broil comes off cooldown while ur casting it

#

so ur basically getting the same amount of casts off

#

but for less potency in the case of ruin 2

vernal girder
#

Ohhhhh

median locust
#

You can either cast Broil 3 every 2.5 seconds
or you can cast Ruin 2 every 2.5 seconds
One has higher potency therefore will do more damage overtime.

faint flare
#

Ruin 2 just frontloads damage

#

But you're not doing more damage

#

The GCD Rules everything

median locust
#

Ruin 2 is only more damage if you can't get the full 2.5s cast time from Broil 3 off

#

so like

#

example, the boss is leaving the arena in 1.5 seconds

#

you don,t have time to cast broil 3

unreal aspen
#

ruin2 is good if you have to run and dont have time to slidecast

median locust
#

THEN ruin 2 is better cause it's instant

unreal aspen
#

or if you want to weave without clipping a cooldown i think?

#

im a garbo scholar so take that with a grain of salt

vernal girder
#

I see! I haven’t been using broil 3 all this time... thanks for the answers everyone! šŸ˜„

clever cave
#

Yikes

outer quest
#

thats when you swiftcast broil for the deeps GWgoaThinken

faint flare
#

Thats alooooooooot of lost dps

#

Like

#

A fuck ton of dps lost

#

Like

median locust
#

Hey, as long as they know now lol

faint flare
#

Probably thousands od potency

vernal girder
#

;-;

unreal aspen
#

yeah it's an easy mistake to make lol

#

i thought the same thing when i started playing

clever cave
#

Its simple math isnt it

vernal girder
#

I’ll be sure to do so now xDD

gritty oracle
#

is the twintania mount single-seater?

median locust
#

yes

gritty oracle
#

aww

shrewd relic
#

why is it so hard to find housing

#

T_T

faint flare
#

Because auto demolish is off

#

So plots arent opening up as much as they used to

outer quest
#

I just want a house so I can change the color of my chocobo

median locust
#

Get an appartment

faint flare
#

Just get a apartment

median locust
#

you'll get access to a stable

#

right outside of it

outer quest
#

oh apartments are a thing?

gritty oracle
#

or a fc with a stable

median locust
#

Plus it's only 500k

faint flare
#

Or use the stables at your free company

outer quest
#

I never actually checked that was just my excuse for being lazy

median locust
#

Yeah, appartments are just single rooms without a yard, but they never get demolished and there's always tons of them available

#

And you get a free stable outside

inner yarrow
#

hi, may i ask some question regarding the game?

median locust
#

Yes this is the channel

faint flare
#

Thats what the channel is there for

inner yarrow
#

i was thinking of getting this game, my friend said that you can farm the currency for the subscription

#

is it true?

faint flare
#

No

inner yarrow
#

i cant seem to find any info

outer quest
#

no

inner yarrow
#

ahh

median locust
#

You can in World of Warcraft. Not in FFXIV.

outer quest
#

your friend bamboozled you

inner yarrow
#

ffs

#

i got bamboozled hard

stable hinge
#

Is there any other tank armour that looks similar to the Neo Ishgardian set or has armour plating on one of the arms?

median locust
#

Not sure if you mean the male or female version

#

But the Bonewicca Fending set has armor on only one arm

#

Not sure if that's what you're looking for though

crimson wind
#

What do the portals in Hydatos do?

median locust
#

They send you to the Baldesion Arsenal, which is a 56-man raid/dungeon where if you die, you can't get ressed

#

you basically need an organized group for it

civic dove
#

Am i allowed to post oc fanart into the art channel

median locust

near crest
#

So i made an account on square enix website, went to the free ffxiv trial website. Tried to login, and it says that my log in info is wrong? Could someone help? Willing to join VC if thats easier haha

vagrant copper
#

Make sure you use the username if it asks for username and email if it asks for email

median locust
#

Did you create a mogstation account? Square Enix store and mogstation are two completely different accounts

near crest
#

im clueless, i just went on the main square enix site and made an account

stray dawn
#

thats not your ff14 account

#

i was new yesterday and made 2 accounts for square and mog station LuL

median locust
near crest
#

dont think so

median locust
#

That's where you should be

near crest
#

but what is this?

median locust
near crest
#

is the mogstation account the same as making one on here?

median locust
#

Looks like the right place tbh

#

You're leaving the one time password field empty, right? If you don't have one

near crest
#

its not asking for one

#

but yes, that is what i do usually

#

but on the link i sent, i tried to press sign in with square enix account

#

u telling me that is not square enix but mog station?

median locust
#

It should work honestly so I don't know what to tell you
