It takes a loooong time to do and preferably every has 99/99
Those higher floors are deadly
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
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"
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
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
Fixed party saves pomanders
ahhh
Since its the same group
soooo pommanders are shared?
In the party yes
i didnt know that, thought only the rage one was
Everyone uses them from the same pool you have
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
Yes
Ok cool
Imma give it a try, is there a good working guild system here?
In the game i mean
There are guilds yes
Is the community kinda friendly and like good?
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?
Party finder
how do i hire a retainer?
Talk to a Retainer Vocate in the main city-state marketplaces
@obsidian patio party finder always full of people selling stuff
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)
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.
Just do the smart thing
Blacklist anyone selling
Then you dont have to see their shitty sale PF's anymore
ohhh so i can do thatt
im tired of tryin to lfg but all they say is ''found it cheap? i HAVE IT CHEAPERRR''
you can click the icons at the top of the PF window to look at specific categories of content
is there addon for dps meter?
ACT is the main one that people use.
the act doesn't show the overlay
Then you didnt install/setup it right.
which patch
This is a little out of date, but its mostly accurate still - https://gist.github.com/TomRichter/e044a3dff5c50024cf514ffb20a201a9#:~:text=Installing ACT %2B FFXIV Plugin,then clicking Use this plugin .
If you follow those instructions from top to bottom, you'll get it working.
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.
does anyone know how to get a quick party for the trails...waited 1 hour and couldnt find anyone
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?
Try queueing around whatever daily reset time is there. idk if that DC's reset is the same as NA's.
make sure that your duty finder is searching for japanese players, since you're on a JP server
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
Duty Finder > cog at the top of the menu > make sure the J and E are on
So when does monk get crazy damage
hah....

level 30
It doesnt, really.
They get a pretty decent curve for their relative damage increases
I just got demolish
there's no real big spike to their damage outside of the traits that increase their GL max stacks
And met my super saiyan monk brethren
I guess Riddle of Fire and Brotherhood help a good amount since you get actual damage cooldowns?
They're definitely not OP or anything though. They're very middle-of-the-road in terms of DPS jobs.
It said they do second best in dps tho >.>
Whatever "it" is that said that
Is there a way to change the design of my characters clothes without armor
(Trying to do glam with emperors robe)
hey im not sure if this is the right place to ask but, is there a "best way" to farm phantsmorgia atm?
Was wrong, and you're getting bad advice.
Oh well still love monk
@rare karma if you mean the default clothing/underwear with nothing equipped, no.
Ah that sucks
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
Well since everything is useful i guess it really doesnt matter?
\o/
Cuz monk is too fun
is this a decent UI for a dark knight?
I have a super saiyan master :0
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.
Yeah the blood gauge is gonna go striaght into your first hotbar, lol
Heres' the gauge fully unlocked for reference -

Yea i put it here
With how your UI is currently set up the Grit/Blackblood gauge will cover up part of your hotbar
once you get the trait, yes.
oh alright, when is that exactly?
idk how useful it is, but here's my whole UI as reference (on DRK)
!trait blackblood
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.
Its the "best" at level 50. As soon as you stop being level 50, it stops being best.
Well, 52 or 54 probably
Did you check to make sure that the items you bought on the marketboard were ones you could equip?
Yeah that's big rip. At 60 the best is Shire, but i'm guessing you might not be far enough in MSQ yet.
not done with ARR yet
Are the items you bought in your armoury? the recommended equipment button doesn't check your inventory
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.
ah, right ok.
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
If I start playing free trial on ps4, can I transfer my progress to pc buy the game there?
yes
That does sound like corrupted files, Largos. I'd try a reinstall
There's a cave off a cliff on the island to the east
Follow said cave and it should lead you there
On this map I found on Google, it's around the 4
does making additional lvl 80 relic weapons require some resource to be brought ?
like tomes or w/e
well hope it works turned off firewall while its reinstalling in hope it helps
Yes, 4 Thavnarian Scalepower which are 250 poetics each
because if it doesn't im kinda screwed
Can buy them in Mor Dhona
oh okay ^-^
If you can login to other characters fine then I'm 99% certain it's corrupted files
is black mage supposed to run out of mana all the time
Thats its gimmic
Yes, you're supposed to switch to Umbral Ice using ice spells to regen mana
You spend all mana on fire then swap to ice to regen
Yes. You should read a guide on how to play BLM, its the core mechanic.
Being in Umbral Ice makes you regen mana a lot faster than normal
so I donāt see a free trial version on my ps4, can I buy the standard edition and then buy the deluxe edition on pc?
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
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
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.
@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
Does buying the standard edition on ps4 lock me out of the deluxe edition on pc? For some reason the ps store doesnāt list the free trial >.>
@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
And you have to buy both for each version you want to play on
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
So I see the trail version on PlayStation website but canāt find it on my actual ps4..... and I donāt want to pay 20 bucks for the standard edition when I know Iāll buy the complete on ps4.... Sony is annoying right now lol
is there an appropriate place on this discord to find people to help with an unsynced alex run?
I mean complete edition on pc
@celest herald the Free Trial should be listed as a demo under the Starter Edition I think
Okay Iāll try to find it thanks
I'm assuming you're playing from the US, so here's the US PSN listing for the Complete Edition
The complete FINAL FANTASY XIV Online experience. Enter the realm of Eorzea and join over 16 million adventurers worldwide.Includes base game and all expansions. Begin the latest chapter and become what you must. Become the Darkness.-Shadowbringersā¢-Stormbloodā¢-Heavenswardā¢
@slate arrow youāre a life saver lol found the demo
Iāll be transferring to complete edition on pc since myocardial is being shipped š
I was scared to play on ps4 because I like mouse and keyboard but Iāll be playing conjured so I just need 2 buttons lol
There is a sale going on on Steam for FFXIV right now
You can play on M/KB on PS4 too
You can save the key for later, if you desire.
If you have the USB ports for it lol
I have a keyboard but my tv sits opposite my bed so nowhere to place my keyboard
only funky thing being the mouse is handled via FFXIV instead of the PS4 so the cursor might be a bit jerky
Other way around is also true, you can play on controller on PC
@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.
And yeah even if they play on controller, PS4 players tend to have a keyboard plugged in so they can use chat more easily
It's your call.
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
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

Yeah 2501 is just the generic something went wrong code
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 shouldnāt it be free to download?
@celest herald what shows up in your library?
what about your Mogstation account?
I have an account but havenāt bought anything
(is the Starter Edition still free on PSN? I have no clue.)
starter edition is 20
Nah that ended over a month ago
aight
well first you need a Mogstation account for FFXIV
and then you sign into that Mogstation account on the Free Trial application
the ps4 has a free trail app for ff14?
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?
Positive but Iāll go onto my laptop to check my account lol
I think it was only free once on PS4 and once on PC (but that one's been a while)
the PC one was via Twitch Prime
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"
Just wait.

Says account type free trail
I've been at this for like over after half an hour now
Restart steam then
@celest herald aight so you should be able to download the trial just fine then
Just delete the game as a whole, then re install if it you have a good internet and dont mind redownloading
If PSN is trying to get you to buy the starter edition, back out and remove it from your cart
since you have now the complete edition, you would have to download all the expansions anyway
I just tried that but it keeps saying unable to purchase due to having a realm reborn which I clearly donāt
PSN not tied to your account?
@obsidian patio PS4 shenanigans, send help
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
Uhhh this psn account is brand new and I made my mpg station yesterday so like
mog*
so, you just bought the game?
ok, but you can't launch ffxiv as a trial cause you already own it?
I canāt download the free trail on ps4 because it says I own a realm reborn
then you must have bought it
So why does it tell me to pay 20 for starter edition?
can you try downloading the Starter Edition then
Go to the Free Trial page and press download
realm reborn is not listed on PlayStation store as a game but as a service that creates new accounts
Iām at my cart and it wants 20 lol
Starter edition is arr
wow this catch 22 is crazy
A Realm Reborn is the starter edition
canāt play trail because I own arr canāt download arr for free even if I own it? The fuck Sony
If you own it.... Then why are you claiming free copy?
Did you press add to cart or try free demo
can you show us some screenshots?
Ok
If you have ARR (PC), you have to buy ARR (PS4)
@warped nest he says the Free Demo says its saying he owns it, but he cant download it, cause he needs to pay.
Basically, what the fuck are you on, Sony
Okay hereās a string of screenshots lol
They said it was a fresh Mogstaion account and a fresh PSN account
Remove starter edition from your cart first then try again
just in case that's the problem
I only added to cart to see if it was free
What does your library say?
Try it anyway
Okay. My library doesnāt list any ff14
Remove from cart then try downloading the free trial again
removed from cart, still canāt download trail
is there a free trial option when you go to the normal starter edition page?
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
Iāll 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
i guess just buy it š¤·
yeah Iāll buy it on pc
I'd say play the free trial before buying cause you can't go back to free trial after buying
did you have the free trial already installed?
You'll HAVE to pay your sub
on the system
ah ok
Yeah gonna donfree trail on pc, it was hoping to get my feet wet on ps4 while my pc is being shipped š¦
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
is it the complete edition?
does FFXIV A Realm Reborn not show up at all when you search it up on store?
cause i can find it
I can find it but itās not the game
It says for people who want to add a second account
try it?
This is the US PSN we're talking about right
Sure Iāll try
idk what it means by "second account"
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?
If you go to the standard edition page, what does it say
Says pay me 20
thats starter
PS Store is the big dumb
idk you probably have gotten free trial from PS from a diff region or something
I feel like this should be the plot to stranger things season 3

anyway thanks again lol Iāll 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?
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
whats max lvl for blue mage with shadowbringer
lv60
60
why is the lvl cap so low?"
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
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
is it useable in end game content?
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
It's useable in old expansions' endgame content. But not current endgame content.
^
Like you can run old lv50-60 raids with it, but not lv70-80
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
what does the mission a recurring problem unlock?
A lv50 version of the Ifrit fight
You need to do it to continue the main story at some point
ok
When is the best time to start a second class? Currently playing as dragoon but i feel like i would like bard more
Whenever you feel like it, there isn't really a bad time

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
Alright, currently lvl 38dragoon, was planning on powering through the msq first
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 whatās going on. Ideal to make a new character? I play on PS4 and Iām from india with English being my preferred language so any suggestions/advice will be appreciated š
Guess ill just switch now
To be fair Dragoon isn't that interesting till like 60-70
It's your choice in the end
Ill probably get all classes eventually
@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
Chore as in the msq? Or generally?
Ah. Ok
but if you insist on starting a new char, go ahead
š
If you wanna replay the MSQ go ahead and create a new character if you're gonna have to play from lv1 anyway
Yeah. Me and 2 friends wanna play it. And they havenāt done lates the game ever so I thought it made sense to start with em
Iāll still have my other toon anyway
Any tips on which server to choose and all that?
Either Europe or Japan
Preferred server if possible for the xp bonus
Your latency will be about the same to either
Japan will have many English speaking players ?
only in tonberry or kujata
There's some English communities
if you're connecting from india
Japan servers most ENg speakers cluster around tonberry and kujaka
Ah ok. But not like eu servers ya?
should try checking your ping to each datacenter
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
i don't remember where would india want to connect
Sorry I didnāt understand the ip part
You ping the ip
My tech knowledge is caveman
open the start menu, search for an app called Command Prompt, type in ping <insert IP here>
pick the one(s) with the lowest response time and we'll continue from there
Iām on PS4
Works the same if you do it on a PC that's on the same internet
^
Ah ha ok š
The router doesn't change
so how would i go about leveling a second character if i dont have the msq available?
just do sidequests?
duties too?
dungeons at level 15+
yeah i unlocked it, but dont think i ever visited
go to quarrymill
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
I can't remember who but near the river in quarrymill should be the expedition chief
good xp for solo players?
Talk to him in order to go into Palace of the Dead
or does it also have the logn queue time
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
For DPS yes since it takes any 4 instead of needing a tank and healer
Palace of the Dead is special as in it doesn't require a tank or healer
So queues are fast regardless of role
but i can run it without a premade party, right?
yes
Yeah you can queue to get people
but only up to floor 100
Alright, guess ill give that a go asap
there's 200 floors but you only go past 60 for the loot
Don't think leveling an Archer to like lvl 15 would take long
Yeah you just spam 51-60 over and over if you want exp
You can go in Palace before 15 but then it's just faster to level outside of it
^
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
What race is kan-e-sama?
the annoying race
hyur I guess?
But they have horns tho._.
oh uhhh
I didnt even notice till i saw her brother
I think she's padjal
They are called padjali
Why cant we play as them?
because no
Are they near extinct or something?
SE says no
Cactuar race for next expansion
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
Dumb question, where do i get gear when i start a new class?
I feel like cupid in underwear and a bow
Ok thank jesus its been 3 days
At lv1 there isn't much. Every major city has a gear vendor though
lemme check to be sure, booty
Yes
Ok nevermind you're like halfway
She sits in chairs on multiple occasions in the story
Oh no wait in ul dah
Please look forward to it
Nvm
I thought she had strong legs up under that robe like arnold swartzeneger in is prime
His*
in a relic reborn, it orders me to deliver a materia enhanced champions lance to gerolt, how do i do this?
Get a champion's lance, get some materia, go to a materia melder NPC and meld the materia to it
Then turn it in
Marketboard
Marketboard is the easiest way
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.
where is the market board in gridania
Walk north from the main aetheryte
in the stalls?
Or east from the leatherworkerās guild
Or TP to Leatherworkers' Guild aetheryte
Thatās far too much
Hi! Which channel for kupo bot questions?
Worth less than a tenth of that
where should i look
Use World Visit and check another server's market board
what time does your sub decrease by a day by
The time you last renewed it afaik
You can ask us questions about kupo bot here, but using commands for yourself goes in #kupo-bot-spam @blissful veldt
I swear they just copied and pasted orginization 13 š
#general-discussion or #archived-lore-spoilers for story discussion stuff
Thanks. -- question -- I have another bot that uses the !event tag. Any way to tell Kupo Bot to not use this tag. I have both bots in 1 bot channel.
This channel is for questions and help only
Kupo bot responds to this command as wall as Discal bot and it is very messy
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
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

so i move the character config files out of the ffxiv folder then reinstall?
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
Oh I did that and it didn't work again
I'd probably try updating your GPU drivers next
is there a way to have keybinds be individual per class
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.
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 canāt have the same keybind on more than one hotbar
So realistically no
how do i unlock amdapor keep?
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?
Only specific gear, crafted gear, can be overmelded by crafters
Aka neo ishgardian for combat
Five is the max for any piece of gear.
Tome and raid gear cant be overmelded
So for your example, it would be three more melds.
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)
Gear will have "advanced melding forbidden" in the tooltip if you can't overmeld it
It depends on the piece but the meld window shows you how much of any stat you can cram into it
You can only put 1 tier 8/6 in overmeld slots
You can only overmeld 8s to up to the 3rd slot out of 5
The others have to be 5, 7s or lower
how do i unlock amdapor keep?
Ohhhhhhhh! So I could essentially do 3 8s, and 2 7s for max potential melds.

First 3 melds are 8, last 2 7s
Thank you for explaining it!!! Makes sense now!
"One night in amdapor" is the quest name iirc@molten spruce
@molten spruce Nedrick Ironheart in Vesper Bay iirc. Quest is Ghosts of Amdapor.
If you just finished a realm reborn there should be a lot of
available that unlock new dungeons and trials
from nedrick?
Yeah, Going for Gold
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
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?
Perhaps? It's been a long time and I don't recall if clearing those was required or not.
He should be the one with all those quests clearing them off may open more of them
What does the end game consist of content wise ?
savage and ultimate raids
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
Does this game have p2win ways? Or is it mostly f2play?
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
It's only free up to level 35, you have to pay for the game and a subscription to play past it
but having an army of retainers makes a huge difference in gathering materials and selling enmass
Oooh its like world of warcraft?
But if you mean like, can you pay real cash for better gear or an advantage ingame? No.
Yes
Like WoW yeah.
There is nothing on the mogstation that affects main progression or in-game stats at all
And extra retainers
Yup

Cash shop is 95% outfits but you still have tons of outfits to choose from ingame
Mogstation is only like 1% of glamours
Outfits, minions and mounts*
Also, has anyone here ran into issues where their retainers sold stuff hours ago but there is zero gil to withdraw still?
The retainer list doesn't auto update
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
Fatter cat is mandatory
I've been saying for the longest time that retainers are stealing gil...
Is it cheaper to repair with Dark Matter or the item menders?
Self repair goes past 100%
Dark matter
I know it goes past 100%
Dark Matter definitely
Since you can max it out at 199%, I'd say it's the better option, yeah.
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%
You can still use Grade 7 on lower level gear
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
I'd rather do that than have 7 slots taken in my inventory by default, lol
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
Do u have to unlock hw for GB
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
You do need to have foundation unlocked for job quests though
so my friends retainers looks like this https://gyazo.com/3f861816af914c7c52fefbf0dfa49b8d any reason why she cant assign a retainer a job? she has the full game etc/at lv 80/finished with msq
What is shb?
shadowbringers. the latest expansion
Oh ok
@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.
ok thanks
really dumb question probably, but is bard mostly dps or support?
seems like it can do a bit of both
Uhhhh ....yes
It's both yeah
He can chunk out damage but I believe his strength is buffing his party's damage
i guess it's considered dps in matchmaking?
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
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.
What class play
Check first pin
can you find this as a actual mount and not something linked to a quest?
How's RDM Currently? Dps wise, is it at the bottom?
for casters yes
It is a mount, it costs 6 Clan Mark Logs which in turn cost 3000 Centurio seals total
oh okay so it is maple story
so you would start as a lancer then upgrade to dragoon
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
How important is sps on RDM?
how may i become Scholar what are the requirements
Its the lowest value stat Wol
ok thanks
Get Arcanist to level 30, do all the class quests then there will be an unlock quest for it at the Arcanist's Guild
Get arcanist to 30 and complete slyph management msq for the job quest to appear after all arcanist job quests are done
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
completing all the quests doesnt make me summoner?
Arcanist goes into 2 jobs
summoner and scholar have 2 different questlines
And they level together
they branch out
There's gonna be 2 unlock quests. One for Scholar, one for Summoner
the questline for scholar should be in limsa
oh so first i need arcanist 30 to open the quest correct
the job quest the every 5 levels

How possible is it to run 3 DPS through Heaven on High all the way to floor 100? Is a tank absolutely necessary?
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
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
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
We're alllll 99/99 and it still felt slow ;w;
Oh yeah you need 99/99.
Well then
You dont need 99/99 lol
Be very careful what you pull and focus stuff down
I soloed to 180 with like 60/60
talking heaven on high
Thatās all I can say
O sht hoh idk
And use pomanders wisely.
Drink pots and stuff
Oh those potsherd ones?
Mobs generally hit harder in HoH so it'll be harder without 99/99 (but that's unrelated to the question)
And yes, chug regen pots and super pots
Super important in the later floors
especially without a healer
got it. thanks!
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
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YVBSTOgJO-xOAB6YyKZEZRikjXFPle6Ihf_E7VdmQnI/edit
very useful
do people still play nidhogg's rage extreme? i need to farm the scale
Yes, but they don't queue for it. They farm unsync using party finder.
should i find a group for that or can i solo it?
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
Can be soloed but thatās not worth the time and effort if you want to farm something
i probably cant solo it as 80 whm then, where could i find players to run it with?
Party Finder like I said
i never thought of looking there im so stupid lol
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?
How do i activate steam stormblood? found conflicting answers online
shadowbriners was what i meant, my bad
Note: You can't register a Steam version of anything if your standard edition wasn't bought on steam.
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
how do i visit other servers in here? trying to buy some stuff from market thats sold out in mine
Go to Gridania/Uldah/Limsa, right click the aetheryte, then you'll be able to use World Visit
ty
what do you get for making everything on your craft list? do the checkmarks mean anything?
Hey I got my IP address
And a few of those achievements give you glowy tools
So how do I check which server has lowest ping?
!faq datacentreip
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Open command prompt and type
Ping insert data centre IP address here
So to ping Light, you type
ping 195.82.50.10

Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Like this?
No
š¦
Your ip address is not needed. Only the dataceter ip. And type it in command prompt or terminal, not here.
Ah ok
Ok..
then you click on cmd
Alternatively, press Windows+R, type in cmd, then press Enter
Ok switching on laptop now š
So Iām new
And I was wondering if I could set something to automatically target a near enemy
Yes
Ah ha!
Anything under 100 is pretty good
Oh ok . Checking them all now . Thank you so much for being patient!!
I think devs said the game was designed to be played on up to 200ms ping. But of course, the lower the better
Itās playable at 200ms in the sense that you can dodge all mechanics and AoEs in time
Weaving skills becomes sketchy
But you will not be able to play some classes optimally because of double-weaving, gcd clipping...
For me mana,Gaia and elemental are at 125ms,117ms,120ms respectively and theyāre the lowest
Thatās good
Thats decently fine
Mana Gaia and Elemental are all located at the same physical location in Japan
So if I make a character they should choose Gaia/mana/ele right?
Ok. I hope they have English speaking guilds
Elemental has a considerable English-speaking population so Iād recommend there
Nice!
Especially on the servers Tonberry and Kujata
The other ones which are 220+ are EU?
And NA
Chaos and Light are EU
Ok
Aether, Primal and Crystal are NA
Tonberry is part of elemental?
Noice ok yeah logging on now!
what's the server cmd to check congestion?
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?
There are no congested servers atm
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
!status tonberry
https://xivstyle.com/combat/grandcompany/flames/ if i pick to help maestrom as my grand company could i still pick up the flame gear later
3-4 hours from now, would be 3-6 a.m. for a majourity of players
Yes you can swap grand companies
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
You would have to swap then rank up from zero on Flames
And you wouldn't be able to equip Maelstrom gear anymore
Not without wasting seals on those sanctions
Nope, you have to be on said grand company to equip/glamour the gear
i see thanks
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?
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)
what ilvl is your rod

@gritty oracle āWho Brings Shadowā
Thanks!
No orchestrion roll AFAIK
weird that you can't craft it from the EX faded roll but yeah
Is Shadowbringers the newest expansion?
yes it is
Yes
next expack will likely come late 2021 summer
Shadowbringers purchase includes all previous expansions too
Doesn't include the base game though, if you don't own that you won't be able to register it
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?
You only get a free month when you buy the base game, not the expacs
Have to pay after that
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
Can always poke people in #technology-discussion if you haven't already
Hey whatās RAF? Refer a friend? Itās legit?
Yes and yes
Yes
Ah ok ty
Why use broil 3 when two ruin 2 casts are stronger?
Because 2 ruin casts aren't stronger
because you can't cast ruin 2 twice at the same time
the time it takes makes it not worth it
You're still restricted by the GCD
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
Ohhhhh
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.
Ruin 2 just frontloads damage
But you're not doing more damage
The GCD Rules everything
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
ruin2 is good if you have to run and dont have time to slidecast
THEN ruin 2 is better cause it's instant
or if you want to weave without clipping a cooldown i think?
im a garbo scholar so take that with a grain of salt
I see! I havenāt been using broil 3 all this time... thanks for the answers everyone! š
Yikes
thats when you swiftcast broil for the deeps 
Hey, as long as they know now lol
Probably thousands od potency
;-;
yeah it's an easy mistake to make lol
i thought the same thing when i started playing
Its simple math isnt it
Iāll be sure to do so now xDD
is the twintania mount single-seater?
yes
aww
I just want a house so I can change the color of my chocobo
Get an appartment
Just get a apartment
oh apartments are a thing?
or a fc with a stable
Plus it's only 500k
Or use the stables at your free company
I never actually checked that was just my excuse for being lazy
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
hi, may i ask some question regarding the game?
Yes this is the channel
Thats what the channel is there for
i was thinking of getting this game, my friend said that you can farm the currency for the subscription
is it true?
No
i cant seem to find any info
no
ahh
You can in World of Warcraft. Not in FFXIV.
your friend bamboozled you
Is there any other tank armour that looks similar to the Neo Ishgardian set or has armour plating on one of the arms?
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
What do the portals in Hydatos do?
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
Am i allowed to post oc fanart into the art channel
I see people posting OC characters so I'd say yeah
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
Make sure you use the username if it asks for username and email if it asks for email
Did you create a mogstation account? Square Enix store and mogstation are two completely different accounts
im clueless, i just went on the main square enix site and made an account
thats not your ff14 account
i was new yesterday and made 2 accounts for square and mog station 
Did you make an account here?
dont think so
That's where you should be
but what is this?
mogstation.com should bring you there
Looks like the right place tbh
You're leaving the one time password field empty, right? If you don't have one
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?
It should work honestly so I don't know what to tell you
