gotcha, tyty :D
can squadrons only do 1 lvl 40-50 quest per week?
what does the busy status do
Stops people from sending you tells and party invites/trades
ty
Is it possible to increase my odds of extracting materia or is it always at 40%
its always 40% for t8
For the Grand Company ranking system, how would I achieve the ranks higher than Flame Captain?
you don't
Then why is it a thing?
ranks higher than captain are currently not earnable
Do I need to do something special in order to be able to teleport directly to the Doman Enclave? I cannot find it in the map under Othard unless I am in the Enclave itself
it fleshes out the idea that this is a fully fledge company with various ranks (adding to immersion/roleplay), and its something they've been adding to over time
those ranks have been there since arr
Why don’t they make them available..
🤷♀️
They don’t want to add anymore promotions unless there’s something behind them besides higher GC seal cap
Like glamours
@spare sapphire you attuned to the main aetheryte in the enclave, right? cos otherwise it should be on your teleport list
yeah i am. But it's completely invisible from the word/region map so there is no way for me to click on the aetheryte
a friend is getting this error while trying to go to the free trial, any solutions?
oh, from the world map
hes in korea
honestly, its just easier to open the teleport list if you want to teleport to the enclave than using the world map
ah ok I see. I guess I can do that. It's weird that it's not showing on the world map though
its because the enclave is its own map instance
I suppose, but it is the only one that is not accessible through the world map
Whats the name of the armor with a dragon hanging on the back?
@molten spruce 403 iirc means that something's interrupting the ability to connect. KR has its own server so that's most likely the issue. he'd need to use a vpn to circumvent it iirc but not sure how'd you do that ps4
@molten spruce A friend of mine who was stationed in Korea had the same problem. But I don’t recall how he got around it or if he ever did while he was there. I’ll try to get a hold of him. 🤔
unfortunate
@frail fulcrum Purple and gold colored wings and stuff? That’s the Dreadwyrm set.
Ah thanks@gloomy ice
are there any free vpns?
it will be replaced
@molten spruce yes but they're usually limited and will make their money by using data they collect from your usage of it
wdym by 'collecting data'
you use their service, they collect data on what you're doing, what sites you're visiting, what you're looking up, etc.
ahhh
then sell that to others (advertisers would be my guess) who want to pay for it
the only free vpn i have personal experience with is windscribe
i'm sure there are others but that's the one i used to use and it worked fine for me, though my use case was of course different than your friend's

for normal raids i know the loot lockout is weekly
but how exactly does it work?
like if you roll on an item you cant get another one from that raid
you get to roll on a single item per raid encounter
or if you roll on an item you cant get it again?
so it doesnt matter which one, its just one each raid
1 item per raid yea
if i do the raid and get none then can i redo it and still roll?
ok ty
the only raids with lockout right now are E5-E8 and the NieR alliance raid
others can be farmed
hey, what sort of things does eureka give? like exp, materia, ??
nier is not weekly locked
was primarily for the stormblood relic weapon iirc, but it has glamour and other items
o is it not
the only thing weekly locked from it is the cluster
copied factory is previous tier, so it has nor eason to be weekly locked on the gear
i see, my bad
wait does this mean the gear itself isn't on a weekly lockout? the YoRHa set
Nope, it isnt.
yes, you can freely farm copied factory for gear and the coin
You can roll on as much of it as you want
that said the next nier raid will be weekly locked
whats the meld priority for whm?
how worth it is the crystarium weapon vs resistance weapon?
This applies to dungeon gear, prog gear, raid gear, LITERALLY EVERYTHING
Ideally, use one of the BiS sets listed below which have already done the hard work!
If you're leveling up or working on prog, grab piety to comfort and then:
Crit > Det | DH
This priority is for while your gear is in flux (leveling, progging, etc) and you can't math out proper stat tiers when you're getting a new piece(s) every week!``` @upbeat storm
the relic weapon for certain jobs can win out vs the 490 crystarium weapon, but once you're able to augment to 500, crystarium is going to be better @unreal aspen
what do i get the crystarium augment mats from?
Savage
is it the thing from e7s or is that just for left side gear
the ester is the weapon augment
eventually the tokens from the nier raid will allow you to buy the ester
that is gonna be a thing in 5.3 right? being able to get savage mats from the previous tier in the new alliance raid
yeah the alliance raid coming with 5.3 will allow you to buy the augment items for the crystarium gear
though the ester, weapon augment, is usually not immediately available
Glaze (E6S) for accessories
Twine (E7S) for left side
Ester (E7S) for weapon.
how significant are the eureka weekly challenge log rewards?
i haven't gone into eureka yet so i'm wondering if i should rush that tonight
significant
It's harder to get full credit solo unless greedy tanking so leveling takes much longer if depending on nm's for xp once chalenge log is used up

Do bards have positionals
nope, no ranged classes have them
When is Shake it Off most optimally used?
At the end of ToB, Vengeance, and Raw Intuition?
in SB, buying lv70 gear when hitting maxed level was viable until farmed what you wanted from weekly tomestones
is that still the case in SHB?
for lv80*
If you want to pick up lv 80 crafted gear immediately, you can
HQ crafted gear I'm referring to if not obvious
there may be something of a stigma for people entering Savage wearing full crafted without any tome/normal gear
as it gives the impression that you're rushing into it and may be in way over your head
but stat-wise, it's fine
not yet interested in static for a time anyway so until I can get the gear from weekly resets it'll be best
ty
How much should i hang onto my poetics on my progression from 50-70
It's not terribly important to save them up
When is Shake it Off most optimally used?
@crimson wind whenever you need to mitigate raidwide damage. the increase from consuming one of your other cooldowns isn't super large, so if you can match that with the end of one of those defensives, great! but otherwise using it as is would be perfectly fine. Raw Intuition shares a CD with nascent flash so more often than not if you'renot using it for mitigation you'd use it for healing so you'd not use it on SiO
there are many sources of easy Poetics, and it's not crucial to immediately put on a full poetics suit as soon as you hit 60 or 70
ok ty channy
Why does the wolves den group my skills in combos? How can i change that?
because pvp uses a different set of skills
every node has all the skill levels
but they're kind of more scattered than the overworld
and have more variety
I think there's also a few on the islands you have to fly to
(there's 2 big islands the last time I was there where you couldn't just jump to them)
Fortunately, the diadem has flying unlocked by default, but it's faster to just take the gales which launcher you to the next island
Ty @proud willow
I think the mining nodes are instanced to you, right?
yea i jus realised my bad
Make sure that they don't suck
i wouldn't worry too much about your gear early on, except make sure to talk to the smith found in the major cities inns to get the brand new set at level 15 at the very least
just take the stuff you get for the msq and youll be good
alright thank you
If your gear avg item level is worse than the item dropped from 3 dungeons ago... Maybe upgrade a lil
alright :D
i think his name is the smith anyways, its been a while since i've talked to him, he does some basic tutorials for your role and doing them gets you a really solid early game gear set called the "brand new" set
I keep getting "Unable to download patch files [30413] [25008] [20495]" error.
I tried r/ffxiv but none of the suggested solutions worked for me.
i hit level 80 astro, but im kinda confused on materia. should i put everything into crit? or crit dh? crit det? my 80 friend said i should split half and half crit/dh, but every other resource says crit/det
alright, tysm 
the only way to increase gp is drinks?

Cordial, yes. Or just wait.
Am trying to make a macro where it'll target a friend of mine, use Nascent Flash on them, then return my focus to my foe. I had it work for Dragon Sight, but doing it on this doesn't function for some reason.
. /macroicon "Nascent Flash"
. /merror off
. /target "Aika Nerang"
. /ac "Nascent Flash" <t>
. /wait 1

I am leveling machinist, which is the best gear I can buy at 60 from marketboard: Sky Rat set or Gaganaskin set? At a glance, the sky rat tends to have more skill speed and direct hit while gaganaskin has more determination

@small vault Is there any reason you are not using tome gear?
is the level 70 yellow scrip gear the best i can get for my crafters at that level?
If you dont want to spend gil
if i had the gil, what should i go for?
highest level HQ items from the marketboard?
Yes, HQ crafted stuff is typically better than scrip gear when you toss a few melds in iy
ty
Lv70 though? Might be better to save for Lv80?
yeah im scared ill just get to 80 with little to no gil since i don't have much rn so ill stick to scrip gear
ok thanks Vinyl, got it set up so HUD 1 is my GNB one with Heart of Stone doing that with Hotbar 9, and WAR doing that with Nascent Flash, and it looks/feels great. Just need a way to autoswap huds when I swap to GNB/WAR. 😛
it happens to new people sometimes
you'll teleport into the boss room after they start it, so you're only missing one series of hallways
When you're out, run backwards to the large oval room, there a ramo down to a bulkhead the people in armour blowup
The armour just Tps you outside then you walk about around inside
hey everyone! Im looking to come back to the game. Last time I played was when ARR very VERY first released. I havent played since.
All my friends no longer play and Im kinda looking for a pretty good populated server/node to play on, and maybe some friends to enjoy the game with that is noob friendly.
Ill be buying game time and shadowbringers upon rejoining...
so, any suggestions of where to begin or make my new home? Or any friendly folk?
Ro blowup the bulkhead
Unless they're exploiting to skip cutscene (or using a different language) people cant get too far ahead
how would you know if there are no computers in texas?
Oh yeah the armour is a individual cutscene
sooo....bout my question
Anywhere is good...any data centre in your region
Preferred servers is adviced if possible for the xp bonus
gotcha!
anyone know of any servers or areas in particular that are noob friendly? or have good communities for some newbish people? Like i know the basics of the game, but never really made it past level 30 i think
all my friends quit and left me on my own
every server has a novice network that you can shout for an invite to
there are mentors there that will answer questions you may have
and it serves as a world chat until you are no longer a novice
They're all pretty friendly. Server choice itself doesn't matter these days since basically everything is done cross server within data centre and you can freely hop world's within the data centre
but other than that, looking for an FC (player guild) that fits you is probably something that would benefit you more
is there a way to consistently farm elemental clusters?
Believe there's lv 50 timed nodes that always have clusters
is that new? i dont think that was int he game when i started playing
i played OG ffxiv
and was there when the world ended and came bcak for ARR too
oh sorry meant things like wind and lightning clusters, and ty
I believe its like that at least, just from memory
collectors edition, all that...as much as i love the game and stuff, none of my friends are into FF like i am 😦
Visiting between worlds is a newer feature yeah
aetherial reduction is generally better way of farming clusters
There are timed nodes with clusters but the usual way to get them is aetherial reduction
than doing the timed nodes
balsalmic Reduction. got it.
👀
What skills should I be using to get the highest collectability?
I found this one to work pretty well for me
https://imgur.com/a/Jkg2u3o
Scrips at least, dunno what aethersands are
Thank you
That’s out of date

As well as advised versions for aeth reduction
have they updated/reworked the lore behind jobs in the past? (job quests, etc.)
they haven't adjusted any existing ones as far as im aweare
err, wrng channel, sorry
what are the most popular foods? I know Mejillones al Ajillo for Crafting, Coffee Biscuit for gathering, Stuffed Highland Cabbage for pretty much everyone. Anything else?
need to stock up :x
I think there are better foods than coffee biscuit, but I think it's good enough for most people to hit 800 GP and that's why people are using it?
Hello,
I cant start "The Battle on Bekko" on my Sam, what do I need to do so I can do the quest?
Are you a level 70 samurai, and have you completed all samurai quests up to “The Hunt for Ugetsu”?
do you have any error message?
and if you have to do a single player instance, did you make sure you're not in a party and not queueing for any dungeons
you can check in the journal
there's a current/completed button near the top, and you can then filter to job quests
if you got the MSQ tracker enabled (topleft of screen at default) there's a smaller quest title below it, that's the job quest for your current class you can do
thats how it currently looks for me
https://i.imgur.com/KLkrjeF.png
Click “complete”
Then navigate to the tab “class/job quests”
And use the drop-down menu inside to navigate to “Disciple of War Job Quests”
can we change the weather/daytime on /gpose?
Alright, Seems like I already did Battle on Bekko, but why cant I play the MSQ then?
"The Light of Inspiration"?
:S ok so you haven’t done your role quests
You’re looking at stuff from the last expansion instead of your current expansion
I think the role quests have their own dropdown in the journal?
You need to complete the questline which starts with Lue-Reeq in the Wandering Stairs tavern in the Crystarium
This was pointed out to you early in the Shadowbringers MSQ, where you got a system message informing that you would need to complete a role questline in order to finish the MSQ.
can we change the weather/daytime on /gpose?
@lime sphinx
Cause i haven't found it and google wont answer, so i'm wondering if its a setting i missed or whatev
I don’t believe you can
aww
Alright, I found it, thanks a lot, the Quest System is a bit weird as a WoW player
do you guys prefer to desynthesize level 80 dungeon gear, or turn in for GC seals?
depends on what i needed at that time
if i am not in need of seals its a great way to grind desynth levels
Desynth doesn’t require me to bother going to my GC 
Seals are probably a superior option for money purposes though
Can spend them on materials to sell.
Dear goodness Maria Nyan, that font choice makes it harder to read those images....
Okay so I'm unlocking the "facet deliveries" thing
Is there any way to find what needs to be delievered without going to them
Also, do they count as weekly deliveries or what not?
No to both
facet deliveries are basically your gatherer/crafter role quests
Not repeatable
not really
but you can get good exp/yellow scrips
76mil exp for only HQ turn-ins is pretty crazy
That's pretty powerful
Completing them all unlocks some indoor and outdoor lighting furniture items from scrip exchange
Is that over all the quests or just a single set of turn ins?
its over all the turn-ins for a facet
5 facets
splitting the crafters into groups
ah
there's also an amalgamation quest when you've completed them all
for a title and extra story
76mil x 5 is still really good
What does magicked prism job mastery do?
It’s useless, in other words
Yoo they got yokai minions how do I get one?
Yo-Kai Watch crossover event in the past
Yokai watch event, whenever they bring it back again
Not currently available but they’ve announced it will return in future
There are also weapons for each job themed after the minions, and a whisper mount
you get the palico from monster hunter
Uh there’s a brickman minion from the ongoing Dragon Quest event in Ul’dah
Palico is not time-limited, it’s a permanent part of the game now
Same with Nier
H uhh
But they are collab minion nevertheless
Bitchen I’m a mh3u vet
In the cash shop there’s wind-up minions of past FF characters
What level can I fight rathlos
70
70
Pookie is also in the game
^
As a minion
And a rathalos Mount
Rathalos
rathalos extreme
DAMN IT
As a rare drop
Welp imma grind 30 more levels cya
And Kefka
there was the XV regalia as a 4 person mount
Hopefully it returns 
There’s wind up Cloud Tifa and Aerith on the Mogstation, as well as a mount of Cloud’s motorcycle from Advent Children
Is advent children cloud outfit the only one?
Yeah unfortunately
What level is the quest for the outfit
How many months?
Uhhh isnt it like 2 now? Or 3
Cool cool thanks for the heads up
You get the firion, zidane, squall and cloud outfits from veteran rewards
For being subbed long enough
Who’s firion and zidane?

Firion is from 2, zidane is from 9
One more thing where can i find more glamors?
Everywhere...everything is glamour in the end
Primarily crafting, events, gear you like the look of, gold saucer
I guess that's why the sailor shirt comes with a belt heh
What materia do i need as a 80 healer
What job?
Generally it’s piety to comfort > Spell speed if you want to reach a certain GCD threshold > Crit > Det/DH
I just noticed on my gear list, it says "One or more items were not melded with the specific materia"
what does that mean
I check my gear, and all the materia gives the 60 stats
It means that the gear you register on the gearset has changed the materia meld, so it is just letting you know about that
is there a command for macros to start other macros?
No
Ah, i see now. Thanks!
"I think this is the right gear, but the meld is different last time you register this"
ok is there a command to use a specific hotbar slot?
Wanna guess?
that sounds like a challenge
too late
I’m very serious
challenge accepted
If you’re gonna troll about it take it out of this channel.
please keep shitposting to a minimum here
yes sir!
Very much take the shitposting out of here.
are custom deliveries shared between NPCs? or can I make 6 to each one?
yes, they're shared between
so you're going to have to pick and choose which npcs you're going to work on
and is the exp acquired the same regardless of whichever NPC I deliver to?
generally, if you've got them all unlocked kai-shirr should be the priority because he gives the most
uuh i actually didn't pay that much attention to the exp, but generally want to do the one that within your level range
or whoever's got the bonus for the week
I see, ty
I think apart from Kai-Shirr they’re all the same
Regardless of level (as long as you can do them)
So i'm currently playing as SAM after getting bored of bard, but it seems like i'm still struggling with melee mechanics during dungeons/raids. Should i just stick with it, or should i give a caster a go?
currently leaning a bit towards red mage since it mixes melee and casting
does adventurer in need DPS actually exist in MSQ? roulette
but not sure if it'll be worth it
not sure in MSQ, but it sometimes happens in leveling
I found bard pretty boring as well so I dropped it
AiN dps is pretty rare for most of the roulettes
I see it often enough in trials roulette
and tbh its up to you if you want to stick with sam or not.
there's nothing wrong with swapping between jobs until you find something you click with
machinist or red mage are currently kind of what i'm leaning towards, but the intensive gameplay of machinist is scaring me a bit
seems like you'll be mashing buttons constantly
hmm
in my time of playing mch, the only really button mashy points were during wildfire/overheat
the only thing i liked about bard was its 'slower' rotation
If you enjoy sam id say keep playing it
Bard has one of the highest actions/minute of all classes later on
RDM can be good fun, can rec
Yeah, all mnks single target weaponskills are positionals
Rdm is very simple, so shouldn't give you too much trouble
positionals don't really bother be, it's just that sometimes during intense battles, i tend to mispress a button, messing up my SAM combo
And they look nice and flashy

mostly because it's still on CD
That's something you'll get used to with experience
yeah, thats more of getting muscle memory down than anything
guess i'll give rdm a shot for a while and if i dont like it that much, i'll go back to sam
still got a lot of lvl 50 quests to do anyway
Does anyone know if the Twintania RAF mount is accountwide?
Not directly
But all your characters get the chocobo feathers
So you can buy it seperately on all of em
I was about to go bannanas cause I know you can buy expensive dyes
but those dyes are going to be character bound
arnt they
ya
Yup
its no different than buying them from mogstation
right. still! Im glad I get to use Twintania on my alts
Can also try out some of the other raf mounts to see what you'd like to buy next on your main
right theres that wolf thing I saw on the Salvager
when does dark knight unlock? lvl 70?
dark knight unlocks at lvl 50 but requires you to have gotten to the heavensward main scenario quest
Does gnb require anything other than being lvl 60?
nope
the heavensward jobs (dark knight, astrologian, and machinist) are the only ones who have main scenario quest requirements
istg i think that theres a blue version of this necklace, whats it called?
Ramie Ribbon of X
Gnb just requires you are lv 60 and own the shb expansion
lvl 54 craft
tysm!!!
yes, you need to get crystal sand and umbrite to make treated crystal sand
which you then use to increase the stats of your anima
you'll need between 60-80 sand and umbrite
Why do they differ?
after you've gotten 120 points, you have a chance of getting bonus procs when adding stats
So do I need to upgrade the weapon fully?
so if you get the best procs, you'll only need 60 (unlikely) and if you get no procs you need 80 (also unlikely)
yes
you need to put 240 points into your anima
Perfect, do you suggest any efficient way of gaining either of these?
I know umbrite is via poetics
for sands, easiest way of getting them is with crafting or gathering scrips
if you dont have a crafter or gatherer leveled up to gather scrips, then you can do amber vilekin method which is picking up one of the combat leves in ishgard and looking for chests that spawn in the leve area
in foundation, north of the main aetheryte
Fieldcraft?
No
So you can repeat that?
what you basically do for chest farming is this:
Start up the Leve.
Look for coffers in the green circle borders of the and open any that appear.
Abandon the Leve.
Start it back up again
you don't actually try to complete the leve since you don't get ambers from doing so.
Ah
From my personal experience, I don't think I've ever had a leve spawn 2 coffers at once.
it's only ever been one coffer or none.
Almost level 30 arcanist and thinking of finally trying scholar. What are its strong points? as in white mage has insane burst heals and nice DPS, astro has shields and regen + party buffs, and what about scholar? I understand that it can shield well
Scholar has strong oGCD heals and good GCD shields if needed.
Are the oGCD heals AoE or ST?
They also have party utility with chain strategem, which is a crit rate buff for the party.
both.
I don't think crits buff LB generation rate anymore.
ahh
Do I initiate it, try, then abandon?
ye
Make sure to not abandon twice before starting it back up, or else you'll have to grab the Leve again in ishgard.
You can copy the keybind files and paste them over the other character's keybind file.
same thing for the UI
no, but the characters aren't clearly marked in the files so you'll have to be sure you're copying from the right ones.
No, just copy and paste files
If you’re worried you can use the settings backup function from the character select screen ingame
to easily tell which character is which, do something simple on the character you want to copy the files from, like editing a gearset or changing a keybind, as that will update the modify date
Will there always be a coffer?
To save a copy of your desired settings
no, its a chance for a coffer to appear
No @median inlet
@leaden ginkgo https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1ofqe3/can_i_copy_my_hud_layout_to_another_character/
18 votes and 10 comments so far on Reddit
this is about Hud but it applies to everything else in the folder that hud layout sits in
which would include keybinds
my retainers sell only while I'm online?
they can sell while you're offline
reached 80, got gear. what's the general purpose materia you throw in to tank(drk) gear? not overmelding, just filling slots
Are the leve coffers randomly placed?
but if you don't open their menu up for over 2 weeks their items don't become visible to other players on the marketboard
because when I play I see a lot of sold stuff going on but when I log in the next morning I never see a notify like "you sold x, y, etc"
@median inlet to a degree. After a while I noticed that there were semi-loose spawn points
but they will always spawn within the green circles of the leve
Wait, I can only do the abandon method 3 times?
No, you can do it until you’re out of leve allowances
And if you haven’t been doing leves recently then you ought to have 100 allowances.
So I have 100 attempts to get 80 coffers
@hardy abyss
Skill Speed to desired/preferred GCD > Crit > DH > Det
You’re unlikely to get 80 from this method
DRK usually prefers a GCD between 2.43 and 2.38
But it will give you a good big chunk of it
Yeah my average odds from 100 leves was about 20-25 ambers
Gotcha'
so like 20-25% chance
Do the coffers only spawn in the green circles?
ty dude
I've done 6 already and not got a coffer lmao
Rng will be rng
How much easier is the crafting method
It's super easy once you have it unlocked
Grinding extreme primals is an option too if you have a combat class above level 70.
the materials for them are usually very cheap, so you just kill the ones with the more expensive drops,
Which materials?
Inferno Horn (Ifrit Extreme), Crag Heart (Titan Extreme), and Diamond Tear (Shiva Extreme) for one turn in
Hey guys im having trouble starting the level 70 alliance raid quest, "A city fallen" where do i start it? i tried googling
Vortex Feather (Garuda Extreme), Barb of the Whorl (Leviathan Extreme), and Large Levin Orb (Ramuh Extreme) for the other.
@leaden ginkgo The quest is on the Prima Vista. You can access it by talking to an NPC at the Kugane Airship landing which is also accessed from an NPC at x10, y12.
Sorry wyne but its all just very confusing. WHere do i even find this place on the map?
Wait i may have found it my man
Kugane right?

@obsidian patio I cant do anything at the airship landing :/
There's no NPC to talk to for getting on the prima vista?
Try exiting back out and look for Lina Mewrilah near x10 y12 on the map.
they might be the NPC you need to talk to.
if im lvl 50 can i buy the ARR skip and go straight to heavensward?
yes.
is act not working? my encounters aren't being updated
Probably a bad idea unless you've already done it once before
but if you want story context on the start of heavensward I recommend going to your inn room and use the "Unending Journey" to rewatch the cutscenes from the quest "The Parting Glass"
Skipping the post ARR story is going to make many things after it make no sense.
ok ty guys
People get angy for it, i dont have personal experience but i have seen that from the side
i could care less about what people think tbh
Those people are the kind of people that stands and roleplays in the big cities, dont worry about them
i like doing end game pve content
Why skip to Heavensward and not Shadowbringers?
becuase i want to do all the dugeons and raids and stuff at least ones
once
im still learning the game
By that logic you'll be missing the post ARR dungeons and stuff.
I don't see the difference between skipping to HW and doing the fights you missed and going to ShB and doing the fights you missed
Especially when it gets you to endgame faster which is what you clearly want
because i have like 150 quests left in ARR that i dont want to do but i dont mind doing the HW and up storylines
likeee
If you haven't completed the base story yet I suggest doing that at a minimum for the free fantasia
because story skip won't give that.
Also it's about 100 patch quests not 150
hmm
but if i buy the arr skip thats 100 quests i dont have to do right?
i just want to do heavensward and up
But there isn't really a reason to do HW and up when you openly admitted you don't care about story and you'll be missing on important plot by skipping to it
You'd just be spending ages doing a story that doesn't make complete sense
so youre saying i should just buy a boost to 70?
I don't why you wouldn't given you said you don't care about story
You're just wasting time starting at HW
Yes
i understand that
but arent there boss fights and stuff you can only do if you level through HW and the other xpac
No
like if i skip to 70 i wont get to do those
i dont want to miss out on those raids
There are not
If you mean the solo instances in the story that's not really a "raid" and aren't really hard and you have New Game + for that anyway
i guess im just really not understanding the structure of pve content
Optional unlocks after finishing base story for an expansion @simple remnant
any of instance content you would do while leveling is automatically unlocked for you with the msq skip
if you just queue up for lvl 60 raid as lvl 80 without unsyncing the fight, you will be together there downscaled as lvl 60
and you can just queue up for them
oh wtf
wait thats perfect
i was thinking if im lvl 70 or 80 i cant do the lower level raids
You CAN also tick a box to allow you to fight a boss unsynced at whatever gear and job level you are
yeah, but then you have to invite people to do the fight with you, or do it alone if you are strong enough to do that
Mmm
If you do it with your own level gear and stuff ( if above )
so just to clarify
if i buy a boost
im pretty much only missing out on story
because i can do the previous expansions pve content anyways
story boost, yeah.
im talking job level 70 boost
will it start me at shadowbringers content though
or will i have to do the entire story but with a lvl 70 character
you'd also need a stormblood story skip to start at shadowbringers.
ohm yeah, but once you get the idea it becomes much more clear
the site for job/story boosts lays out what you get from them in a pretty detailed manner.
Can Odin miniatures be trades ar all?
"yes" if unconventionally
You can give them to other people by using the tenant system
How about FC chest?
yeah it can go in there
And someone else can grab it and use it in like their private apartment?
yep.
Ok, awesome. Thanks
if someone is afk but at the same time in a duty finder. will the afk symbol appear?
do /cpose
/changepose or /cpose
If you want to do this frequently
You can find it on the emote menu
And assign it to a hotbar
if someone is afk but at the same time in a duty finder. will the afk symbol appear?
found out by myself: yes
Why cant we use mount in ishgard
because ishgard is a city
what's the point of having average wait time if it says always the same bs starting from 5 and going up
lol

is a leve allowance consumed every time I abandon a levequest and start it up again?
yes
Can someone help me with an error I'm getting?
Feel free to post it here, so anyone who knows can help.
I already did and didnt get any answers
I cant seem to download the update
Getting errors
have you already tried updating your internet explorer?
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/20275895/ would it be better if i got Cryst weapon or go for cryst armor with my ninja? the deepshadow/edengate gear i was planning to swap out for edencall gear from this weeks drops
The Resistance Relic Weapon is pretty equal to the unupgraded crystarium weapon for a majority of jobs if you want to go for that.
so im better off just getting armor from it then?
it's easy to get. Only need to complete the stormblood 24-man alliance raid story and then do a quest for an i485 weapon with 5 open slots.
because i already have the resistance weapon
pretty much, yeah
Its updated @obsidian patio
Make sure the FFXIV Folder in your "Document/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn" isnt set to [Read Only] in its properties.
Tried this too?
My expertise on PC-exclusive errors relies entirely on googling stuff since I'm a PS4 player. :\
i assume with nier raid 2 coming out next month, upgrading crystarium would be a lot easier?
Kinda but time wise no
how comes?
Since coin will drop once a week til patch 5.4
one coin = one piece i assume?
Yup
how would the weapons be upgraded? 1 coin as well?
Yup
Yw
Hello friends.
Hello
what's the difference between these 2
do note that the weapon upgrade won't be made available until the tail end of 5.3 most likely
None
Look
so none
Err
yes
Just a quick question. I have bought the shadowbringer expansion, and I like can't seem to redeem it 😦 Is there a guide somewhere ?
yep, unless you like switching between there looks.
cuter*
@slate prawn there should be a red button on the mogstation called "Expansion Regisistration key" in the "Your Account" section
Any tips for abil bar placement? Currently giving SMN a go but cant figure out where to put petbar
@obsidian patio I tried that, it says invalid, but I pulled it from a box.
@heady thorn imo eos is cuter but both almost same level cuteness
Can you take a picture of this for me from your mogstation?
Just colors
Currently got this, but hate it
I am gonna go blue for now cuz that's how my character looks atm
Is the code you're trying to use from Steam?
@obsidian patio how do I tell, I got it from the shadowbringer box from game shop
@vivid wolf whatever u makes u more comfortable with
then it's not a steam code
Rip
you need a code bought from the steam store to use for your account
omg sad
either that or you bought a used key.
^
Eos had more healing-focused abilities, while Selene had more utility-focused stuff
Eos more healing and selene more support
Eos was better 99% of the time.
ohh okay
@obsidian patio Thank you for your assistance.
ruin and Bio
pat pat
SCH has an entirely different toolkit from arcanist which is a bit jarring
compared to other jobs
^
like Scholar's Aetherflow, for example
It is kind of
they get their stacks from the ability Aetherflow, while Energy Drain is an ability that uses up stacks for damage
while for arcanist/summoner, energy drain gives the stacks
Can you hide the lock icon near a hotbar?
that would be pretty neat
Nvm found a way
wait how
Hide hot bar 1
You cant hide it on hotbar 1. So just dont use hotbar 1.
oh
too late
LOL
I don't share hotbars with any character
so it's kinda like
jobs*

bear in mind eos will only carry your healing til like. copperbell mines
how do i add things to my hotbar such as sprint and teleport
past that fairy is just a small passive regen that's dumb and hard to aim
P on PC for spellbook, and they're under General @sacred glacier
Oh, the DPS got a papercut? Better stop healing the tank to get that patched up.
So if i want to do a low lvl dungeon with 3 of my friends, but 2 of them are tank classes, is there someway we can do a dungeon togheter?
if you're a full party of 4, you can freely queue into dungeons as any combination of classes.
since you're technically a complete party and don't need to actually queue up
yes

Hi where can I buy more gear for tomestones? Except Idylshire. I need it for lvl 70
level 70 tomestone gear is bought in rhalgr's reach directly north of the aetheryte
thanks
I'll check it
How restricted am I playing with someone if they are in the same data center as me but not the same world
Almost not at all
Not really restricted at all
The only restriction is you cant be in the same FC as them or make them a tenant of your house.
can't be in the same free company (player guild), and that's pretty much it.
Thats about it
One of you will also just have to pop back into your home world to access stuff like Retainers
What does it mean for a FC’s standing amongst GCs? For example, my FC is neutral for 2 GCs and Allied to the 3rd
It means basically nothing
is there a rough formula for how much 1 physical dmg to dex is for Nin?
whats the penalty count
When you withdraw or fail to ready up when duty finder pops, it increases
When you get to many penalties, you get locked out of duty finder for awhile
ok
How do you Glamour boots to look like you’re not wearing any boots?
Get the item called "Emperor's new shoes"
hi!, im about to put up a party finder to clear some old stuff... how many people do you think it takes (and at what level) to clear lv 50 content?
unsynced
Well however many people depends on their level
If they are like, 70 or 80 you can do it solo
If they are 60 probably only need a few for the harder ones
I’m lvl 66, trues solo and failed haha
Yeah...when you get to 70 it'd be possible depending on the job and fight
Thanks!
can you use numbers in free company name / tag?

This might be a weird question but I have been worried that FFXIV is going to end soon
Which would suck because I only got into the game around a year ago
Doubting it would end soon, since the popularity of the game has spiked
plus MMORPGs are time consuming to develop
Don't be too worried
They have stuff planned after the current arc ends
FFXIV is up to par with other modern MMORPGs
We're just in a period of halted development due to COVID
it is just 2 weeks until live letter
Live update titles get it bad since their schedules get knocked all sorts of around
there is at least one more story arc they're planning
nvm, one week til live letter
It's not ending anytime soon for certain.
if that one is as long as this one, it's going to be another decade before FFXIV ends
I can easily think of 3 more expansions left
ffxiv ends when you end your sub
And what the plot could entail
ffxiv versus ff(x)
versus FFXIV
WoW already has 8 expansions, i do think FF14 will follow that. But that is 2026 at least, so that takes a long while.
iirc, YoshiP straight up said in the last Live Letter that, while the current Hydaelyn vs. Zodiark/Ascian storyline will be ending with this expansion, there's still more story to tell.
So the game is far from over.
anyone know if you can preview your hud before saving?
wait really? I thought they had planned out the entire arc, not the full story
Can anyone see why my fisher macro isn't working here? -_-
my client has crashed 3 times in the past 5 mins, happening to anyoine else?
Gearset uses gearset numbers, not names
so it would be /gs change 14
or something
The answer that Fissie gave is correct.
It still says "Fishier is not a valid gearset number" in your chat
Every one of my gear change macros is like this :
/micon "Monk" classjob
/gearset change 30
/hotbar display 6
and every one of them works
So there's a bug with referring to gearsets by name? It's not that you can't it's that you shouldn't because it breaks?
idk, just do it the correct way
what if you remove the "s
Nope
can you screenshot one of your other macros that uses the name and works?
What is the name of your fisher gearset?
do POTD queue times get any better at higher floors? they're anywhere from 20-50 minutes right now
or....you could just switch to numbers and not have to deal with the BS
^
@polar haven not particularly, unfortunately. Most people only do floors 1-10 and 51-60 for convenience since they’re the floors you can start on
also why the <wait.1> at the end if it's the last command?
Because there used to be more
so is repeating 1-10 better than going through each set?
And some other macros do have more
alright
@polar haven Go through 1-50 once then spam 51-60. Queue times will suck but you'll only have to get through these floors once
You'll be able to start at 51-60 everytime once you get there
alright thanks, just levelling my second class to 50 because I got bored of levelling paladin, and it's taking a bit longer than expected lul
... what. Okay, reassigning fisher to slots 1 or 2 works...? WTF. So yeah, some bug with how the game searches through the gearset list and looks for names.
Numbers it is then
That's gonna be annoying
Why would it be annoying. You set it up once and never touch it again.
That's still annoying
I havent touched my gearset macros in years
Can you only be 3 in a party? how do you join a 4 man duty then?
No
@timid falcon Doesn't appear to be
I just cant seem to get my 4'th friends in our party at all
Are they in the same data center?
Yeah we are all in chaos - moogle
How are you trying to invite them?
kk
Can you solo palace on classes that aren't healers? I only ever hear people say they've done it on healers.
Yes
yeah most jobs made it to 170-190ish but only rdm and blm got solo to 200 afaik
I've heard that everything except AST has got up to 200 solo but 🤷♂️
It's harder on healer than any other job actually lol
I heard only PLD and RDM soloed it
only AST doesn't have a floor 200 clear
Oh
every other job has a 200 clear
I was wanting to try it on WAR
This is because you have a 60 minute timer and healers have garbage solo DPS
so they can't beat the timer without good RNG
War would probably be somewhat easy given the damage reduction and the fact they can put out some decent DPS. Though they'd probably be better at HOH than POTD
Maygi has a tier list of how easy/hard each job is to solo Palace with on her guide
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQpzFuhmSwTXuZSmtnKLNgQ0nRhumCFaB8NvCXFXSjrBHPRT5lXY8jMR4RaCK1aNfcl_G5ph5DNNwfl/pub
What’s the song called that plays in the ||Hades|| fight/trial?
phase 1 is "Who Brings Shadow" and phase 2 is "Invincible"

I can sell these items for 120k at merchants?
no
shop selling price is how much you can buy it from a vendor
it says "unsellable" at the bottom, which means it cant be sold to a vendor
It also says (Restricted) next to the NPC sale price, that means you can only buy one of the item. Once you bought it, you can't buy it ever again with same character.
No, Restricted means you'll have to unlock the item at said vendor, or unlock said vendor, to buy the item
No
That one happens to be a mount so it makes sense that you can't buy more than one, but some crafting mats can only be bought from beast tribe vendors and those do say restricted
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/e3exi0/the_way_to_anima_in_51/ im reading a guide on anima weapons, but it has a first step which i didnt do
for me it just went straight into doing the fates
am i doing something wrong
Fates is the first step
It just lists the items needed for the first 2 steps which are one single "stage" before starting the actual steps off
Starting off your Anima weapon journey, the first task (aside from teleporting to various places and talking to NPCs) comes from Syndony. She will give you the Astral and Umbral Nodules Ardashir requires to forge your Animated weapon if you fulfill one of her requests.
These are the fates
i was looking at 1. "Feel my pain! Come, Anima!"... wait, wrong game - The Anima Weapon
Yes, this is under that
Right after the big list of items
Definitely confused me at first too, while reading it
But you're fine, Fates are supposed to be the first step
isn't there a way to disable "fighting" music?
like some dungeons have very nice osts but then when some enemies appear it gets swapped by the same annoying music
System Configuration > Sound Settings > Uncheck "Enable normal battle music"

oh thank you
Hey, if I start an alliance roulette now, and finish it after reset, does it give me the new rewards? Or will I have to do it again cause I already finished today's roulette ?
It checks if there's a bonus when you clear
So yeah, you can queue now, clear after reset and get the new day's bonus
Alright, thanks very much
If i start msq roulette before reset and reset happens during the run do I get the rewards from the previous day or does it take todays reward
Read about 2 messages up
Lmao my bad
All good, happens lol
guys i got a question about DoT scaling with self buffs, which of these is the case:
-
i apply a DoT unbuffed, then activate my self buff and the already applied DoT becomes stronger as well for the duration
-
i self buff, apply the DoT (its now stronger) and remains to tick for the same damage value even when my self buff runs out
-
DoT damage is unaffected by self buffs
2
ah nice so i always should self buff before applying a dot
DoTs check for buffs when it's applied, then every tick is buffed for the entire duration of the DoT
even if the buff fell off
yea it was the same in revelation online, couldnt find info on it online and too lazy to test it myself rn
Does Chaotic Cyclone beat out fell cleave single target? I know it's 190 pot less, but it's also a guaranteed crit DH...
sort of a non-question but just for the 72-80 grind
depends on ur crit rate tbh
If the fell cleave doesn't crit/direct hit/do both yes
yeah but assuming fell cleave isn't gonna crit
Chaotic is the more reliable damage
like, we're outta inner release
so it's just nascent chaos
eh my leveling gear has dire crit so probably not worth relying on then
u can just do some quick mafs on it
ta
chaotic cyclone is 68% of the potency of fell cleave
Is there like some sort of end-game hub, or do people just go back to limsa/gridania/uldah?
how much is the crit multiplier? is it x2?
eulmore.
seems like there are quite a lot of high leveled players around limsa
or crystarium, but mostly eulmore
Crit multipler goes up based on crit
ohhh
Limsa is the general 'i have not much else better to do' afk place, or the socialising hub
no offence
So there will be population there on most worlds
is there some kinda softcap? as i did research it appeared that crit is softcapped at around 2.5k
explains the gazillion bards using performance
