Every other thing there you can get via other means
idk im not near the vendor
its got a dog on it and its a neck
yeah it's the most exp thing
Its the 100 one
but 100 is 20 aurum vale runs so no thx xd
The only other recommendations is the ixion mount since its a super fate reward and somewhat annoying to get
Rest is easy
Anyway, i'd suggest priority be Ixion (because what Vinyl just said) > EX Primal Mounts (because shitty RNG) > Riding Maps (because hunt grind sucks)
riding maps tbh aren't really worth it that much especially with 5.3 giving arr flying
I'd put some of the other collectible stuff like minions and TT cards before riding maps
TT cards feel easy to get out of the ones available
What is allagan tomestone for
i forget what minions are up but i dont remember them being hard ones
@kind eagle You mean allagan tomestones of poetics? Buying stuff for older content. Leveling gear, materials for old relics or crafting recipes etc.
There's also other kind of tomestones, usually related to a limited time event (like the currently ongoing Law event) or endgame stuff.
Where do i find the shop for it
Mor dhona has lv50 gear
At aelina and aurina
Best lv50 gear thats easy to get
Lasts until lv53 story/dungeon (55 if you upgrade it at north shroud)
The npcs
oh
my fc crafted for me lv115-125 ring and necklace
that lv 130 shld be better
and how do i fly in ishgard
i gotten the black chocobo
All Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers zones require you to collect Aether Currents in order to unlock flying in that zone. These are obtainable from
in that zone, as well as from locations on the map. The Aether Compass will guide you to them, which the MSQ gave you alongside that Black Chocobo. Refer to the menu Travel -> Aether Currents to see your current progress towards flying in any zone.
ah i found 1 aether
Usually the final aether current of a zone is (i think always?) from the MSQ
Guys if i buy gametime card from square enix store where will i get the card or it will be automatically added
You'll get a code when you buy gametime from SE store, since its a digital purchase
Is there a way to level blacksmithing and stuff fast?
Crafting log until 20, then firmament
If you've completed the 3.3 MSQ
At 50 start supplementing with custom deliveries
I'm still in the Endgame MQ from RR sadly
Then crafting log
Can't find groups for the instances

What instances?
All MSQ duties are in roulettes and usually don't take longer than an hour to pop, even at dead hours as DPS
What are "ventures" from levelqmetes for?
No clue what retainer is either tbh :X
Oh well I was in a queue for 4 hours without finding people before
Retainers are your errandpeople/slaves (depending on your interpretation). You can sell items on the market board through them, and also if you're past the part in the MSQ where you you choose a grand company, you can assign them classes and send them on ventures
They bring you back stuff
@gusty belfry What is the specific instance you waited 4 hours for? Tell me the name.
Errr it was the one with the robot you control
I'll have to read up on that I guess, ty
Praetorium?
Yes
When my healer friend queued with me we found a group in like 5 mins tho
Even though I was tank no one queued for 4 hours
Huh, that's odd. It doesn't usually have a long queue. What data centre are you in and which continent do you live in? Might be dead hours for your server.
It was like 8pm American time
Yeah but what data center
I'm on aether midgardsormr
Well thats not dead hours
Unless you have your language settings set to something weird there's no way you should have a 4 hour queue.
because people queue MSQ roulette all the time
@rocky tree You can only hire retainers once you have joined a grand company. Once there, you can go to any capital city and pick up the quest "An Ill-Conceived Venture" that allows you to send your retainers on ventures. Until then, their only use is to store items/Gil for you and sell stuff on the market board.
Yeah well it happens I just have bad luck but my buddy helped me out so I'm now in the post story to RR and need to do the hard mode for ifrit I think?
Queued as tank for an hour again
No amount of bad luck explains a 4 hour praetorium
what are your language settings, there's absolutely no way you have queues over 15 minutes for normal content as a tank
I have already joined GC, I assume I should be doing the venture thingies or?
No, it really doesnt
German and english
Try to remove german
Its almost certainly going to be something like language settings thats fucking you
I've heard that more languages can make queue times worse
Well my version is from Germany since I live here can I still change it?
Okay
There is zero possibility of a 4 hour praetorium queue at any hour of the day, much less at 8PM in any american timezone on an american datacenter
Unless, again, you have something causing it
Well guess I'll try changing it after work today
Yeah like, there's no amount of bad luck that can lead to that. Its impossible.
Its a setting of some kind
Alright thanks for the info :D
You need to look here -
Hit the gear in the top left, then check the area i marked
Possibly you have it set to D only, which would explain everything
Oh yes that could be I changed the other settings to English but the queue finder is probably still set on german
But ideally you should just set it to E only, since you're playing on US datacenter
It's strange tho if I queue solo for normal 1 party Dungeons I find groups rather fast
idk. i just know that 4 hour praetorium queue is impossible at the hours you listed.
@rocky tree Retainers and ventures are mostly useful if you're planning to craft and gather. They can farm you materials and sell the things you make to other players through the market board. They are in no way essential to the game. That being said, I'd get the two free ones regardless, because thwy have inventories that you can use to store stuff that doesn't fit in your inventory or armoury chest.
Thanks a bunch again for all the info!
@gritty oracle I have no plan to craft at the moment but I assume it couldn't hurt to just have them gather for the future?
how do i use dyes ?
You need to do a smalo quest in vesper bey to unlock dyeing
After that yoy just right click the gear and press dye
is it the same chcik
Yes
chick* that unlocks glamour?
Same one that did glamour
oke ty
Called like Colour your world
Hi!, i have a question: im trying to complete a book of objectives for a Zodiac Relic, and under the FATEs i have to complete 3 ones in different locations. But I go to the locations, and those fates dont exist... are they quest related? how do i make them appear?
oh, so it might never appear unless i complete other fates?
Or sometimes they just have a really shitty spawn timer
There's one in particular in East Shroud that i remember waiting hours for
in that case, how do i know if i need to complete a previous one or not?
If you're following a guide like the consolegameswiki one, it'll tell you if it requires a previous one
got it, thanks!
If it's not up on your server you can also use world visit to check other servers
what a pain haha, thanks a lot guys!
As bad as it is now - imagine how much worse it was when people were actually clearing them
Doing the Zeta lines in ARR was a nightmare
i can only imagine haha thank god i didnt play in that time
and the time in which they appear is random? or are there set times you can check online?
Random
In theory it may help to clear other FATEs in the zone, as I think there is a cap to how many FATEs can be up, but that could be total bullshit snakeoil that we believed back in the day
yes there is a limit on how many can be active
oh, so i might "force" the one im looking to spawn.. kind of? that would make sense
Better to just world visit until you find the Fate, it's going to be way faster than clearing fates and waiting for the one you want
how many bonus gc seals does the squadron chemistry give on average?
In New patch updates do we normally just get quests or do new items and locations and crafting gathering recipes happen ad well?
Wondering if I need to be up to date for the latest patch
@median locust how do I do that? Visit other worlds I mean
You can see things coming in #translations-and-liveletters
But we get new story, new raids, new dungeons, new trials
what are hunt trains aside from just running all the hunts you get on the hunt board with multiple people
We dont get higher ilvl gear than what we have
Odd oatches are "catch up"
There's new crafting receipes as well for new crafted gesr

@lavish vortex you go to the main aetherite in a city and click visit another world
Any tips for retainer gear to get em rare dyes ๐
Increase ilvl
get them to lvl 80 and get them to atleast ilvl 428.
then send them out as often as you can on quick ventures
For gatherers you wanna increase their gathering stat, but for combat only ilvl matters
@patent cave Hunt trains are large enough that they usually go after Rank A and Rank S creatures that don't even appear on hunt boards. Anyone who participates in the hunt gets rewards.
if they're hunting for the dyes, then gathering stat won't matter
Hey, is there going to be a rerun of the ff15 event? I just saw the car and I'd love to have it
We dont know
It's more than likely to be coming back at some point. When? We don't know. Is it going to be a rerun or directly going to Mogstation? Don't know either.
@rocky tree Yes. I recommend you set one to your main class, so it gains levels when going to ventures, and the other also to your main class, but after you pick up a gatherer, reset the second retainer and set it to botanist, miner or fisher.
Also note that the retainer's class cannot exceed your own. Say, a scholar retainer can only go as high as your own scholar is, the botanist is capped at your own botanist level etc
for crafting/gathering should i be melding with materia 8's and overmelding with 7's?
hey everyone, how's it going? I don't know whether this is against the rules or not, but does anybody know of a server where people gather for dungeons and stuff like that? I've been for a week already trying to get some primal expert dungeons I unlocked done and haven't had any luck with the party finer
finder *
i meant that
"primal expert dungeons"?
yah, the one for shiva and garuda
Ex stands for extreme, not expert
don't do extremes in duty finder
I already finished with HW and still haven't had any luck finding parties for those :c
ah that thing, sorry
Do extremes in party finder (which is different from duty finder)
Most people only do EX trials in Party Finder using the "undersized party" option which lets you do them at level 80 instead of level 50.
If it has Extreme, Minstrel's Ballad, Savage or Binding Coils in the name, do them using party finder, don't queue for them directly
It'll save you a lot of time and headache
ah sweet, thank you everyone
by the way,
what exactly are raids? at the end of ARR, I unlocked Bahamut's and now I just unlocked Alexander, I guess
but have never tried them
Is there a bot command for a quick guide to glamour plates? Can't for the life of me figure out what to do with them
Maybe best going youtube
Binding Coils are Savage even if they don't say Savage next to the name
Alexander starts as normal mode, you can queue for that directly
how many seals for the chocobo
200 I think weeaboo
thank you Fissie, it means the world
@wintry compass you get enough seals like 2-3 MSQ's after unlocking the grand company
so you'd recommend not touching Bahamut yet? since it says Binding Coil
You can, but use party finder and use the undersized party options so lv80's can carry you through them
Doing them synced at lv50 will be too much of a headache, not worth it
They're old endgame raids
is there anything to gain from them except for poetics?
There's not really anything of importance in there since we're way past that
So I would continue with your story for now
Some glamour can only be acquired from them
Coils story is pretty good, you can do them whenever
Like once I was 80, actually had a few 80s I went back and soloed them much easier and no headache like fissie said
If you put up a party finder, make sure you say you're running through them for the first time. Having a new person makes every fight give bonus poetics so people will be glad to help you
You can do them at 80 but people won't mind carrying you if you do them now, I'm sure
I'm an astro!
And the speed you do them with unsynced is crazy
So before I look up a guide, for glamour plates do I just need to have a crap ton of prisms for when I change jobs?
Oh nice
Putting stuff in the dresser costs 1 prism per item you put in
hey, is there a way to enable subs in the ''movie'' cutscenes?
I'm always capped on seals anyway lol
But you can only use plates in cities that have a loading screen (the three capitals, Ishgard, Rhalg, Kugane etc)
To change plates yeah
I see
Go to any Inn to start editing your plates, adding stuff to your glamour dresser, etc
I feel like I'm maybe using Medica II on Whm too much... are there situations where I wouldn't use Medica II after a raid wide AOE happens?
Cause I'm sick of my PLD looking like a GNB and my MNK looking like a SAM ๐
So the way it works
You create a plate
You go to a city
You apply the plate
If you open your Character, you can see now the gear has a little red plus sign in the corner
So it will always look the way the plate made it look, even if you unequip it, until you apply anothe plate or s dispellers
@nova umbra If you need raw hp, right now. Then you use Medica.
anyone know how long this takes?
How long have you been waiting? Anyone I know have got there keys within minutes..
i have been waiting maybe 5 minutes
And thanks @gritty oracle screened that I'll do some glamour later
Make my MNK look like a MNK! lol
Do they have to be a gatherer class for the dyes.. Mindes are combat
And @craggy scarab i don't have too much knowledge but if I didn't have my key after an hour I would make a support ticket
Someone will know better than me though
Ha, yeah, it's usually pretty much generated by the site I think
hewo!! could a whitemage please post their keyboard layout here for me? everything got reset and idk where to start now, it'd be a huge help!!
do you know where i enter the code?
It will always say that, but it doesn't take long, besides.... you don't need to actually use the key.
Should be mogstation.
oh that website
SE just needs to say that your account is linked with the expansions on mogstation
Yes that's the official website for everything FFXIV related
Your subscription, buying stuff, keys etc
For E8S Light Rampant, Is sharingan and ayatori the same thing?
As a Whm, how often do you use swift cast to weave ogcds?
Or should they be reserved for raises only
I sit in the camp of using swiftcast liberally
Yes you could swiftcast the raise BUUUUUUT you can save that mana and swiftcast the heal to prevent them dying in the first place
I'm no pro WHM but to use Swiftcast you still have to use oGCD space, so if you're gonna delay your next GCD to use swiftcast, why not delay your next GCD with the oGCD you wanted to cast in the first place
Dont save for emergencies happen, prevent the emergancies from happening to begin with
but yeah you can still use it for movement and casting heals faster if that's needed
There's nothing that bothers me more in dungeons as a tank as being swiftcast raised. Because it means you could have swiftcast (insert big heal here) and instead we're going to wipe.
What we're the npcs called that I can buy all the old job related gear from called again?
Is desynthing antiquated lv70 gear and re-buying it from a calamity salvager a good idea to level desynth, or is there some catch that prevents it?
Calamity Salvager?
That's it mate cheers.
I don't think you can desynth the 70 job gear but I might be wrong
You cannot
You can't desynth the 70 job gear for that exact reason, they don't want people to abuse the calamity salvager to level desynth
Ohhh I was watching this video and he weaved a swiftcast to use the next glare as a weave window :O
You can desynth the lv60 job gear though, because those are obtained from centurio seals
Yeah don't do that unless you needed it for movement too
Like instead of the swiftcast he could've used the oGCD he wanted instead lol
Yeah he was doing that while running in e5s
Dang, I just started learning about weaving and it makes me realize I've been playing this game wrong all this time :(
Should I not worry about weaving while progging?
@nova umbra I use swiftcast for glare during certain movement mechanics in boss fights. How you use it is adaptable. For example in E7S, I use it to swiftcast + medica 2 when we split for puddles right before add phase comes up . I run to the front, instant medica 2 to put regen on everyone, then run south to get into position for Away with Thee.
The Balance discord is a really good resource for knowing how to efficiently play your job, I'd recommend you check it out. It's where I got those same answers.
Good rule of thumb is ABC = Always Be Casting. If your GCD isn't rolling, you might be doing something wrong
Weaving is a basic game mechanic you should learb
little question, i just started playing a few days ago. are there like little dungeons you can do with like a few people? (like a smaller raid and much easier)
!faq weaving
Vinyl I don't know if I'd call it basic. IMHO it's an advanced technique, and really hard to do on some jobs
If your GCD stops to use an oGCD, then that Glare is delayed a certain amount of time. If you do that multiple times in a fight, then you might get to cast less Glares in the fight that you would have by weaving the oGCD properly
Meaning your DPS is lower
So if you're going to use an oGCD in between two glares when neither are instant cast, be aware of the consequences
On WHM you don't have much weaving space so it might be unavoidable at times but yeah
something to keep in mind
Should always keep weaving in mind imo, it's something that can be applied and practiced in every level of content
I notice the Calamity Salvager only sells certain class stuff? Don't see GNB or DRK or anything in there
It's 60 atm so 50 stuff should be in there no?
It also depends on what stuff you mean. GNB and DRK are later expansions so some ARR stuff just doesn't exist for them
No
GNB AF4 is from ||Gernoldt|| in the last ShB area
50 is generic tank gear
There's no 50 stuff for DRK
It was introduced with Heavensward which had a level cap of 60
so it only has 60, 70 and 80 sets
GNB only has an 80 set because it came out in Shadowbringers
I see
Also, 60 sets won't be at the calamity salvager. You need to buy them with Centurio Seals at the Forgotten Knight in Ishgard
Yeah I noticed there's 50 and 70 here
Except starting stuff for DNC and GNB
Well atm I just wanna get my PLD looking like a PLD and MNK sorted so all good lol
At 1:48 in this video, why did he use afflatus rapture to weave thin air when everyone was full health? Is it just to prep for afflatus misery and that's it?
Unfortunately I don't have a bombshell of a Ramuh run recorded, so you get this one instead. Still a very well executed run, but a little low on the RNG side of things.
Congrats to Axel on hitting his personal best of exactly 12,000.0 SCH dps this run!
Is it possible to reach level 60-80 in a single day with a healer job? By spamming dungeons
Is it okay to just use lily stacks when you don't need healing just to weave for movement?
If you play long enough probably
Hey guys, I just got to level 80 on my first class and haven't finished shadowbringers yet. Should I buy the highest Ilevel items in the marketboard?
You can use lillies to move, yes. Using lilies does have DPS attached to them since they give you access to Afflatus Misery. It comes out weaker than a Glare though since the 900 potency is divided between 4 GCDs.
You can do the relic weapon quest and level 80 job quest to get your first level 80 gear
alright, thanks
But it's still DPS so it's better than moving and not casting anything at all
And for Thin Air it might be just to save MP
If you're not gonna blow anything big soon I'm pretty sure it would be better to use it than to sit on it and lose a use of it
So basically, you don't wanna blow Lily stacks solely for afflatus misery
Look at it closer now.... they definitely used Afflatus Rapture for movement
100%
@rich flume, Zydico is incorrect.
The relic requires the base ShB story to be complete (and the SB alliance raids), but the free i430 gear is avalible as soon you get your first L80 MSQ.
The L80 job quests don't give any gear, only materia and a title.
You CAN buy iLv480 gear on the MB, it's not that expensive, but if you wanna save money, it's fine not to buy it
^ If you dont plan to do savage raids immediately within 3 days, i think its better to get a mixture of available tome gear and relic gear + relic weapon.
Does fey illumination increase incoming healing to the affected target(s), or said target(s) outgoing healing?
increase ur GCD healing power
Does it also increase the other healerโs healing power?
Okay, thank you
Yes, my co-healer in savage uses it when there is big healing needed.
I often solo heal trough the E7S adds burst damage with it.
Hi! I need help woth something from someone who knows this game alot
Ask your questions here @proven roost , most try to answer them if they know it.
alirght thx a lot!
so i justed upgraded from ps4 to pc! but i made a mistake and i started a new service account. im currently waiting my ticket to get resolve and all. My question. Can i still play in the wrong service account just to try the pc version?
(btw i sleak frecn so sorry for my english if its bad XD)
speak*
do you still get the clusters from leveling roulette if you aren't adventurer in need
@proven roost I mean you can still play on the wrong service account but that progress will be negated when the ticket is resolved.
are there any people keeping timers on foxy lady spawn for each server?
or do i just go do the chain and hope she isnt down?
yeah sorry. what really want to know is will it look bad if i play on it. can it cancel my ticket if they see me play on it
Most hunt trackers will also track special fates. I don't know if that counts as one though
It does
I don't think so.
Foxy lady is a super fate, long CD, doesn't show on map and has a fate chain
They'll just cancel that service account either way
alright thx a lot Rainman! the final fantasy XIV community is very welcoming! Im having a blast with my first MMO!

@nova umbra its a speed kill
e5s can literally be solo healed by an astro
/ any healer
the healing in that fight is not hard @ ilvl 500
he literally pops lily just for the misery, weave + movement
big fox is not on the huint tracker sites
sadly
well did the chain again lets hope she spawns
Hunt discords call it out when she spawns at least
Weird question but. My BTN(69) is now higher level than my main combat class(63). Whats the best way to get level 70 gathering gear when im only in early stormblood?
There's a vendor in Kugane that sells lv70 gathering gear
So I guess get there first
Oh, it's also in Rhalgr's my bad
Independent Merchant in Rhalgr's sells lv70 gathering gear
Cool ty

@upper mortar I recommend getting custom deliveries unlocked and stockpiling scrips. When you finish SB, you unlock the Rhalg scrip vendor, who sells you landking gear which is frankly amazing.
And Landking will last you until 80 unlike the vendor gear I mentionned
@maiden tulip On the light datacentre , there are several cross-world linkshells that reports those World Boss fates cross server.
Normally i am one of the main spawners or reporters on the Light DC for Special and World Boss fates , i am a member of 2 hunt CWLS
And is it tradable or not?
Can buy it on Mogstation, it's Aymeric's Attire
But the Adamantite Set of Fending is somewhat similar
What about the ishgard set from Dusk Vigil?
Color difference ?
Model too
at what level or point of the game should i start looking at what gear i am wearing? like when do i go out of my way to look for gear ?
@maiden tulip
On which DC is your character?
Maybe i know if the Fox is on CD.
at what level or point of the game should i start looking at what gear i am wearing? like when do i go out of my way to look for gear ?
@slate oak Probably at start of HW you would want to make sure you have gear to keep you up and going
dyeable
Whats the set name?
HW? i am new so i dunno what that means ๐
said it earlier, Adamantite Set of Fending
yes figured but what level is that? or will it tell me when i enter the HW phase?
The set that drops from Dusk Vigil uses the same model but isn't dyeable
you see in giant block text on screen HEAVENSWARD
Of Adamantite or the one from mogstation?
Not 30, HW starts from 50
This is the one from Mogstation
Heavensward 50-60, Stormblood 60-70, Shadowbringers 70-80
no i mean i am level 30 lol and yup,will do thanks
as you can see, not really the same
Hmmm, how much is it from mogstation?
i've been in queue for zurvan normal for about 25 minutes as a tank, should i be using PF instead? i thought normals were fine to queue for
Bruh thats stoopid
yeah you'd catch people in trials roulette for zuvan normal, so DF is usually fine for that. However, you're queueing in the middle of the day, when people aren't really playing much, so that's why you're getting a long queue time @mental garnet
I should just stay using my maid glamour
uh
Are there main scenarios in roulette that are longer than praetorium?
how do you summon a partner?
a chocobo, or as an arcanist?
partner?
Only those 2?
what kind of partner
What a bummer
or a pet? i dnt remember properly...i used something from my inventory
A minion?
and it said i could have a partner/pet with me now
Companion
Minions don't do anything, and are from the Minion Guide in the character menu
The chocobo?
i dunno,sorry new and i dnt remember as i was going through my inventory ๐
how do i open the menion guide? :S
It's under the Character menu iirc
Character button > minion guide
That yes
will it stay with me for a specific period of time ro what?
Stays until you unsummon it
Permanent
Wonโt be in dungeons though
It doesn't do anything
Won't be in dungeons or instances
oh lol kk,thank you for the help!
But yeah it just follows you
Other than that yeah it follows you around until you turn it off
there's TONS of those to collect
ok so another question,can i see how much damage i have done in a dungeon or something like that?
to actually know that i am doing something in the dungeon ๐
Bard has a good amount of support baked into it, yes @tawdry plinth
@slate oak If you're on PC, you can download and set up the parser ACT
Just don't use it to harass people about their numbers being bad.
of course,i would never do that,got too much self doubt for that ๐
!faq meta
wow u got me
does every1 uses that parser act?
what class is in your opinion the smoothest
i just want to see my improvements,if any
It's the only parser available for FFXIV. We warn about using it to harass other people because ACT is technically against the game's ToU, and if you get reported for using it, you can be banned.
Smooth in what way?
skill rotations and gameplay
Are any of the servers preferred with the XP bonus? I see some are listed as preferred on the server status page but none of them have a Star on World Select.
ah shit,i am not taking any chances like that on my first MMO lol
I know but I don't get what you mean by smooth lol
thanks for the info!
Smooth like it impresses the ladies? Smooth as in....
Are you asking for easy / comfortable classes?
what does unaspected damage mean?
hahaha
Damage without an element
@craggy scarab It just means it has no element
Aka its magic
oh okay, thanks ๐
Not that elements on attacks are actually relevant
That's sort of an artifact classification
what are u guys maining ?
I main WHM
Smn
People main whatever they like the best, tbh
Black Mage because high skill ceiling and it's comfy, but it can be frustrating and/or boring while levelling
If you ask a question like that on a server with this many people, you're going to get a lot of answers
There's a lot of different classes because people prefer different things so yeah
true im asking a lot of questions i just came back to the game
whats the recommended way to level new class ?
I hate monk but for some people it's their favorite
Do MSQ for a new character, or spam highest level leveling dungeons for alt jobs.
!faq altlvlguide
But yes, if this is your first job
MSQ >>>>>> Everything else
besides job quests
what does potd and hoh stand for xD
Palace of the dead
And heaven on high
Instances that give you a lot of exp
Potd is up to level 60
And HoH is 61+
ahh nice ty
61-70, it stops scaling after that and it's bad exp
It's not that PotD/HoH give a lot of xp - they don't give more than a leveling dungeon for 10 floors - it's that the queue times are better for dps than leveling dungeons are.
Where can I find level 40-45 gear vendors?
Below 50 it's always Uldah/Gridania/Limsa marketplace NPCs
If you're a tank or healer, you'll get better xp for clearing your highest level leveling dungeon (~15m per run) than you will for clearing 10 floors of PotD or HoH (variable time - avg. 20m per run)
Marketplace only has up to 35
I think there's a gear vendor in Mor Dohna that should have higher level gear. Not 100% sure though because I never buy white gear.
Thank you
Does the sir Aymeric marker bot thing actually work?
I canโt find the items for the price it databanks
almost level 35 on the free trial, what would be the cheapest option to begin playing?
It works but almost no one runs the bot that supplies the prices so a lot of things are horribly out of date
It uses crowdsourced information from Universalis AFAIK
Meaning unless someone who runs an extension that shares prices to universalis looks at it, then the prices will stay outdated
@sinful monolith If you don't plan to make more than one character, the basic sub will be your best. If you want more characters, then the 6-month Standard sub is better.
also we have no affiliation with the ser aymeric bot here on this discord, we're not super familiar with how it works
can i just buy the latest shadow bringers thing and be alright?or do i need to buy the uh original game first? @vestal quail
You'll need to purchase the base game + the Shadowbringers expansion to access all content.
you need both the base game and shadowbringers
This can be done by purchasing the "Complete Edition"
ah alright, thank you~
what do I have to type in the macro to do x emote with x text message?
/playdead motion
/emote your text here
and I guess I have to disable chat log
?
Nope
so otherwise it will show the normal emote message plus that one?
"motion" after an emote makes it not post anything in chat
Do I get the final Lakeland quest aether current much, much later in the MSQ?
Ah let me see
If you're missing that one
I thought I got one in there, but I'll check
I just finished the... uh ||attack mission||
so I'm wondering why I don't have all the unlocks
my duty-finder just popped up though so I'll check it afterwards

/playdead motion
/emote your text here
but how can I make it that it says "do something" to -> the person I'm locked into?
You add <t>
To wherever you want their name to appear
So like
/Emote slaps <t> across the facd
oh awesome
Will show
"your name slaps Target name across the face"
Howโs pvp right now? I played pve super casually back in HW but never heard anyone talk about pvp.
Same as it ever was I'd imagine. A sideshow at most unless you're really gung-ho about it.
is there a marketboard in uldah
what does the symbol look like
so how long before i get a mount? or i just missed it or something,i thought it was around level 20
Once you join a grand company you cqn get the quest for it
My little chocobo
At your grand company
Yes
nice you should have the stamps already just go to the keeper
Once you do that quest, you can use any other mount you obtained
There's a mount you can get for having conjurer at lv30, otherwise the main story gives you a mount at lv50
i watched a video of how some mounts you can buy from market board
and yeah there's a giraffe mount you can get for pretty cheap on the MB
Dhalmel Whistle is what you're looking for
but i dont have member rip
i wanted to lvl cap my glad class and then get it but im lvl 24
my glad class is also lvl 24 does this mean i get another class my lvl will drop down again to lvl 1?
character lvl i mean ^
Yeah jobs don't share levels
the only 2 that share a level are Summoner and Scholar, because they share the base class Arcanist
does this include msq? will it be reset ?
so just the class lvl ? ill have to do the guild quests for that class to lvl it up ?
are these tasks the quests from the grand company?
Also, any job under the level of your highest level job will get +100% exp to help you level it up
(+50% over lv70)
If you don't have enough just do the grand company hunting log and/or clear some fates
200 isn't hard to get
sorry new to all this so stupid annoying questions ๐ฆ
no worries
you need to go to your grand company's counter
its in material
Buy it from the personal Flame quartermaster
have fun
do mounts give you anything other than bragging rights?
They move faster than your feet
of course that lol
Some have actions they can do, but they're always only cosmetic
And some have some unique cosmetic actions
all have the same speed?
Its all for fun
Yes
Yup
kk gotcha
Speed is based on your map speed rank on any given map
no flying mounts,right?
All fly
All mounts fly
wut
The one and only exception is Cloud's Bike from Mogstation. It starts at a higher speed than other mounts, but you unlock said speed levels normally during the main story anyway
i thought there were no flying mounts in ff14 ๐
You can only fly in Heavensward area onwards at the moment
Everything flies
Next patch will make it possible to fly in areas below lv50, but only if you beat the base game story
But yes, all mounts can fly, no exceptions
nice,looking forward to it ^^
AEtHeR
will i have to do special quests in order to learn some skills? by skills i mean attacks and stuff? other than the ones given to us by our job masters
i hope that made sense...
there are no attack skills that are learnt apart from job quests
You do learn "actions such as treasuremaps and glamour" but no attack actions
so just do job quests will unlock all your attack skills and traits
oh I misread the question mb
is there a free company on famfrit for reddit i can join?
kk gotcha,thank you
#recruitment-primal #retired-na-datacenters. Look in those channels
any way to keep mobs from becoming hostile
what if the start attacking
Be 11 levels above the mob
If you're high enough, mobs stop aggroing you
run
run or kill
rules of nature
overworld mobs generally don't pose a huge threat anyway
so HW is the first expansion after the base game?
Yes
A Realm Reborn -> Heavensward -> Stormblood -> Shadowbringers
commonly referred to as ARR, HW, SB and ShB
kk cool,and each of them will give me access to new areas?
yes
Yep
nice nice,thanks
areas, dungeons, main story quests, etc
And it's 100% linear so you have to finish ARR to start HW
6 areas per expansion
finish HW to start SB, etc
Hi. I have a question related to glamour/gear.
just ask
At some point, there was a quest that gave me three of options to choose from different items. I can't remember them all, but they were all pretty good but I settled for this hat.
I noticed that this hat and the other two items didn't have a "shop selling price" though - so where can you get them?
city vendors
what is theitem?
what is it called? you can find same model stuff from garland tools
the shop selling price is what it sells for when you sell it to a vendor
I don't particularly remember but I know this hat is claled Altered Felt Hat
not the other way around
thats a crafted item
those can be found on the marketboard
Shop Selling Price is what vendors sell it for
None means no vendor sells it
What about this one then? Is it craftable?
yes
I just want to make sure that I haven't screwed myself out of getting two pieces of unique gear later on.
Okay, thanks. ๐
you can't really
The msq gives you items you can get elsewhere
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Setting_the_Stage @turbid dragon you got it from this quest right?
There's nothing really unique you can miss
those items are craftable
Thats right
There are no pieces of gear from quests that aren't reobtainable
I liked the bandana and the shirt I got from the quest before it.
Nice ๐ Tyvm.
craftable
I'd like to try tank - I'm at lvl 70 on SCH - can I start with DRK or GNB or is it better to start with one of the lvl 1 tanks.
You can start with DRK/GNB if you want but I'd recommend directly queueing for low level dungeons to start out
You'll need the practice
Yeah start with lvl 15 and build up
pretty much yeah
Is one less complex than the other? I like to keep things relatively simple.
So sticking with SCH/WHM over AST for example.
At low levels all tanks are simple
Get agro, don't die?
Yeah, they all have the same base kit like
Tank stance, AoE attack, single target combo, cooldowns
imo, DRK is simpler than GNB in the long run.
Tank stance is the same across all tanks. It's something that makes your attacks get more aggro on the mobs passively, as long as it's on, with no downside.
it's basically just, do I want aggro? If yes, turn tank stance on
Do you ever not want agro?
If you're 2 tanks in an 8-man party
Only in 8 man content where there's two tanks
or bigger
or alliance raid 24-man stuff
or 24 man, etc.
where it really shouldn't be a dick measuring contest
So in dungeons, it should be on 24/7

And be careful because it turns itself off when you get level synced down
this catches a good handful of people off guard lol
make sure it's on when you enter the dungeon
Yeah if there are less buttons to push with DRK I'll probably try that ๐
GNB has a ludicrous amount of buttons compared to DRK.
Paladin/Gladiator: Iron Will
Warrior/Marauder: Defiance
Dark Knight: Grit
Gunbreaker: Royal Guard
these are the tank stances
Ah good, ludicrous I try to stay away from.
Stats for MCH?
I think both of those have a ton of buttons honestly
If you want less buttons go Warrior, it doesn't have that many in comparison
Thought it'd be nice to skip the early lvls
If levelling: Higher item level, substats don't matter
If level cap: Item level > Crit > DH = Det > SkS
for MCH
Aight thanks
Iโve seen some players with modern sports shoes, where can I get one?
im trying to complete a book of objectives for a Zodiac Relic, and under the Levequests i have to complete 1 called Necrologos Pale Oblation. But I go to the NPC and it doesnt show... what am i missing?
!iglam Late Allagan Boots of Casting
These?
The healer ones look the same (with a palette change)
@lavish vortex Complete one random level from the NPC then it'll cycle to new levequests
It doesn't always show all the leves it can have
awesome, thanks!
Flying is faster than ground running yes
where do I find retainer vocates?
kk cool thanks
i see, i'll check around main city
how do i unlock the dawn throne aetheryte?
oh man, I need 40 ventures, is it worth to upgrade retainer's job?
@molten spruce do msq
Get far enough in MSQ and you'll get taken there @molten spruce
ok
does this refer to the books?
No, coffers
oh right ty
You still receive the book if you hadn't cleared for the week, even if all 7 other players had already cleared
so my raid party no one has cleared except one guy
but all he got is the book
so we'll still get 2 coffers?
No
If 1 to 4 people have cleared this week, you get 1
8 hadn't cleared = 2 coffers
4-7 hadn't cleared = 1 coffer
0-3 hadn't cleared = 0 coffer
derp
oh wait i thought u meant the weekly reward was referring to the coffers
not the books
They're both weekly
I'm saying the number of people that hadn't cleared
so i guess that one member
not people that had cleared
kinda fked over the raid pt ._.?
I think I had it right
Yeah, if people had already cleared for the week, you get less coffers
If one person already cleared during the week, you automatically get one less coffer
Make sure when you put pf up to include โ2 chestsโ next time. Also when you just entered the instance, there will be text popping up saying hour many chests are ellegible
got it, ty
Yeah, if the number of chests doesnt match the one stated in the pf, you remake/ leave.
yeah, its fine our irl friend didnt realise about the coffer thing
and managed to get a clear
is there a keybind to progress through quest/accept the reward ect. I know I can left clickt o spam chat and escape to skip cut scenes
ty
Very effective for interacting with objects with a lot of ppl around it too. Like event npcs or the retainer bell.
what is free company?
Free Company = Guilds
yes
kk cool,thanks
has someone bought the complete edition from mmoga ?
sounds sketchy
mmoga is legit but i think u have to create a new account
There are two typed of PC licenses (other than region locks): Steam and non-Steam
If you buy from Steam, you can only use Steam to buy future expansions
mmoga is not a certified retailer and could likely just be a key reseller

use at your own risk
If you buy from outside of Steam, you should be able to get a key from any certified retailer and it will work
as long as it's not from Steam
afaik they're not
just make sure you have the right region
but they could be for EU region
If you got EU Standard Edition, you need EU Shadowbringers
ok ty
is there any point in having fester and miasma on my hotbar after I unlock tridisaster?
Yes
Tri-disaster will not always be ready to use when you need to refresh them
but trance resets tridisaster cooldown right?
Yes but that only handles it for 1min 30
You're REQUIRED to hardcast dots every 2mins
ah I see
Tri diaster doesn't handle it all
Plus you hardcast dots when there 2 targets
Like 7 add phase
Yeah I can buy shadowbringers off of amazon and register it to steam
amazon copies of the game aren't steam license 
you can put the game into your steam library
You think aethersands are worth stacking for whenever the next crafting patch comes
what is the bot command for the dragoon controller guide?
is it worth doing these?
Those are fates
im level 8, started playing for the first time less than an hour ago
thanks

@molten spruce Is this what you're looking for? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i5oOs1e_jFGIyRK_nd5gpgevs-7XqsWYzVRwtXVVtV8/edit
Its extra xp on the side
It was linked in the main drg guide doc
how can i see if i have the dlcs ?
mog station
Check your account info on Mogstation
ty
Can I play ffxiv on a laptop that only has ARR if my character is in heavenward already on another system?
what
if you have the dlcs then you have the dlcs
it will download them on the other laptop
hey just bought the game + the newest dlc? what class would you recommend for a more tank/support inb other games?
Then you will need to buy them on PC
Can I just play in the arr zones?
pretty sure it will either put you in ARR or won't let you in
assuming you buy it again
Yeah, was hoping someone with experience might answer
If.you log out in a expansion zone you cant log in on devices with just ARR
@leaden ginkgo play a tank if you want a tank
But if you log out in ARR zones, you can play
Ok
what are the tank roles?
Cause I wanted to level my crafters on my laptop while Iโm waiting for hours for my friend to show up at our other friends house
gladiator or marauder at lvl 1
Gladiator, marauder, dark knight a nd Gunbreaker
cant be dark knight or gunbreaker
Iโll just level the crafters to 50 or something
And do PotD
Iโm poor or I would just toss some money in it.
Like this
throws money
๐บ๐ฝ
Than id do a dance
Yo, a stupid question from a new player, what are the things that you cannot do without any of the dlcโs, like whatโs โlockedโ?
Can't level past 50. Can't unlock any of the jobs introduced in the expansions. Can't access expansion areas. Can't create hrothgar or viera characters (or fantasia to them).
or au ra
Ah, that's right
Thank you! Is there still dungeons and raids that me and my friends can do?
There are old endgame level 50 dungeons and raids still
Okok thanks a lot! Really appreciated!!!
Patch 2.x content is still available up to the end of the 2.55 MSQ
Uhhh Au Ra is locked behind Heavensward and Viera/Hrothgar are locked behind Shadowbringers
Astrologian, Dark Knight, Machinist, Red Mage, Samurai, Dancer, and Gunbreaker are all locked behind the expacs @fallow moon
aura behind stormblood
it's HW
Thank you! @warm blade
Anyone has experience with account suspension due to phishing? I have contacted Square Enix support and they don't have any updates for 2 weeks.
Is there a site with the story for ffxiv broken down into a synopsis with sections? I'd like to recap the story so far,but I don't want to spoil myself for later. I'm only like level 20 so it feels like nothing important has happened yet, but I'm honestly not sure
Gamerescape has ARR and the first half of HW story. Those are pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers
you could go to an inn and check the unending journey
Awesome, that should be enough to catch me up. Thank you both!
Does the ShB role quests give gear upon completion? And if so where do you collect it?

is there any way to put a specific teleport in a hotbar? A macro or something?
im always in limsa and i have a free teleport there
No
Guys, how do you unlock the lvl 70 scrip exchange?
@open heart Go to Rhalgrโs reach and complete the quest โreach long and prosperโ
Worked, thank you @obsidian patio
@deft quiver you can set limsa as your home destination and then use return
My friend has pc and her game just closes and crashes several times for no reason . She sent me the screenshot to share with u and she wanna know whats wrong with her game crashes. I told her that its prob her pc but eh, what do you think?
For ninja? Use it when you don't need to trick attack
If you're not using TCJ to set up trick
Its part of your opener to slam more bhavas
@celest bison try a different directx?
Erm idk what directx she has but ill ask her
Its hard to say what is causing it but its likely hardware/driver issue
yeah could try also updating graphics card drivers
Does it sometimes take a bit for the client to acknowledge that you've re-upped your subscription? It's not letting me log in, but I just paid for a sub.
is there a paladin controller guide?
Not that I personally know of, but I can post my set-up in a bit.
Not seeing one in the main guide like the DRG one had
@molten spruce second picture is my Hold Crossbar
why is there a loading screen to go into the rising stones and then another to get into the solar
the one into the solar seems beyond pointless
because its an instance
Probably cutscene purposes
if i had to guess it's because the npcs change a lot
It's mostly for NPC purposes probably due to how cutscenes worked
isn't the rising stones itself and instance?
an instance in an instance
(the solar that is)
an instance into another instance
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
We don't have a look at how the server code works so
Your guess is as good as ours
well i'm doing programming at uni should i try and get placement at squenix and ask them then :D?
Yes
lul I'm an idiot. Was trying to log into the Steam version of the game when my license is Standard. Two accounts.
@molten spruce second picture is my Hold Crossbar
@obsidian patio thxxx bro
how can i get to seasong grotto in middle la noscea/
it's on your map
There is a slope going in
pretty much right in the center of the area
it's a cave, by the way
They have names by the pins
zoom in, and you see
The pins just indicate prominent landmarks
Also you can open your journal and select your quest and you can click from there to see where your objective is
Instead of manually finding what area it's in
i was doing hunting log to level my arcanist early on
Ohhhh
