How long is tension usualy b4 spawn?
And its only in the shroud areas?
Alright so i just travel between, what do i look for on the map?
It's a FATE, but it's invisible on the map
you'll only see it on the minimap
You might also get people shouting for invites already
that usually means you're in the right area
yeah, keep an eye on chat
Alright and now the tension is gone, so it means it despawned or was defeated right
Yep
I'd imagine that one goes pretty quick since it's level 50 
yeah and you're synced to like lvl 70 
Err, right. Derp. I knew that.
But ilvl scaling i guess
So more like just a butt ton of people usually show up + chocobos
Can you world visit on free trial?
I think so?
Doesn't say anything about it in the Free Trial Restrictions
so my answer is yes
Mm and the preferred exp is only if your character is created on the server?
Yes
Cool, thank you
@cobalt pagoda sorry got distraction
and no
i think it's becuz i copied game from pervious pc
crroupted files maybe ?
@primal sandal you got to chosw the hoigher resolutiom
idid ;v;
since you chose the 4x res you can now see the new resolution im your ffxiv settings
there is no way it will still show at an higher res??
idk ovo
what is your pc res? and what is the highest res you got with the 4x
1080p
since you chose DRS 4x it will give you an resolution 4x 1080p
so you should see a new resolution there
in ffxiv settings
how do you
get the ffxiv id thing
with your character name and all jobs
and % of mounts collected / minions
Like the image with everything on it? Think that's a Ser Aymeric bot feature
which this server doesn't have
@primal sandal did you find it?
it will make the UI smaller since you will bust a higher resolution
nope nothing there
damn so im stuck with a puberty beard
If so yes, Ser Aymeric bot feature
Other races might have better beard
like Highlanders or Roes
How do I start gathering collectables?
@median locust yes thanks!
@leaden ginkgo there should be a skill called collectors glove
or collect
something along those lines
how do i get the true ice spear?
So how are black mages? I heard the fact they don't move makes doing mechs while doing dps problematic when playing them
@molten spruce Drops from Shiva Extreme
it drops from ex shiva
Get the diamond weapon from.shiva and trade it with a diadom dust in mor dhona
So how are black mages? I heard the fact they don't move makes doing mechs while doing dps problematic when playing them
@delicate stone there insane damage compensates that
and mechs with it is just like dragoon
be careful
thats all
BLM can output insane damage but it's harder to keep casting than on other jobs so it's easy to suck at it
And black mage has a number of movement tools
ah, that's interesting, i might give em a shot
rn I'm on summoner and they have a ton of instant cast gcd's that let them move a ton xD
So in this game is there like a group finder tool? or do i have to go to the instance dungeon itself
aight ty
Don't have to be at the instance to start it in 99% of cases
Do Duty Finder and Party Finder interact at all or are they completely separate?
Mostly separate
After you find a group from Party Finder, the party leader then has to open Duty Finder to get into the instance
I'm halfway through heavensward can I complete the game through shadowbringers before patch 5.3 comes out or is it too much to do
Take your time, the content will still be there when you get there
It's possible though
If you rush
But I wouldn't recommend it
Hello everyone. Recently returned for ShB and was wondering: Can you now join an FC that's on the same datacenter, but different world? Like Primal DC, but a playe ron Ultros joining an FC on (whatever)?
Nope, FCs are still same server only
Durnit. Thanks for taking the time to answer. š
Hello, sorry to bother. I'm currently playing FF XIV trial version on steam and my account is steam based. If I buy the game through online shops, will I be able to redeem the codes? Thanks in advance
no
I think I heard from someone that going Free Trial -> Full Game was the only time you could switch from Steam to non-Steam
Otherwise, Steam licences are NEVER compatible with non-Steam licences
At what level / point in the story can you do raids? In heavensword and the only raid i have right now is the bahumut coil
Beat Heavensward and you'll be able to unlock Alexander, the first series of normal difficulty raids
That sucks, guess I'll have to get a no steam version and grind everything again xD
You can keep your character though
If you just keep the steam version
And buy a steam version of the game
That's more expensive, with all the dlcs and such
realistically though how often are you buying expansions
They are not one time buy?
They are
But yeah they mean to say you don't buy expansions often
Once every two years when a new one comes out at most
Yeah, but buying everything now would be half the price on online shops
Thanks though!
Can anyone recognize the Orchestrion Roll music 3:20 into this video? https://youtu.be/0jKPilB_tAI
I noticed that some gear pieces look the same but have different names and colours (the areas that you canāt dye) does the piece āIridescent top of Healingā have a twin with different color hues?
Are you supposed to keep huton up on Single target?
@woeful nacelle the aoe dot? nah just prepull shenanigans for extra dps where teh tank pulls the boss into the doton. otherwise you don't really cast it during single target
ok thought so thanks
there are some shared models here @mossy tartan
@little swift in the website?
Is there a guide anyone reccomends for getting yellow scrips? I need to learn the basics about them
yeah check garland tools
they have a shared models section for every item
obviously some share no models
but the one you specified shares it with 5 other things

@ember sinew On Windy Meadows Orchestrion Roll
@median locust Thank you so much!
Is (shb dungeon) ||amaurot|| supposed to be really weird target-wise? I swear 90% of the times my attacks didn't go off because "target was not in range"
I had to literally be at the center of the enemy to attack them (GNB, if that matters)
Which enemy? I've never had that problem.
All of them
At what level / point in the story can you do raids? In heavensword and the only raid i have right now is the bahumut coil
@normal breach I think you should be able to unlock Crystal Tower through a series of quests as well.
I've never had this problem outside of this dungeon
It was really frustrating
Most of the time I was sitting doing nothing because target wasn't in range
No idea, never heard of anything like that
Maybe some weird network issue
On the exp bar, there's earned experience, exp until next level, and some lighter colored region between. What does that lighter colored region represent?
Right so when you have rested XP you'll get bonus XP from killing things equaling to how much rested XP you get
Ah, that's neat! What's a sanctuary btw?
Cities and stuff
Settlements
You'll have a moon symbol by your xp bar when you're in one
i just did shiva extreme but there was no loot
fahk it was hard
I got a neo ishguardian weapon I bout a while ago.. Now I can make my own but now I can't sell the one I have now?
you binded it
Bought *
If you use a weapon, it gets bound to you so you can't resell it
and makes it so that you can't sell it on the market place
Damn
Killing a monster or glamouring it binds it, not just equipping
can't you bind it by also crafting if its crafter gear
If it's crafter gear yeah
So jus keep this one and sell the ones I craft.. Damn
Makes sense, else people would just buy a glamour item, glamour it, then resell it
Which would tank the price down
Makes sense

newbie here, level 27 atm. i heard in the next patch they are shortening the MSQ. what are they shortening? and does that mean it would be more ideal to wait until the patch
They're removing 13% of ARR quests and streamlining it in general
By the time you finish arr, the patch wouldnt be here
At standard pace
Takes abour 70ish hours
For all of arr
Nothing wrong with doing it now. They're removing around 13% of quests before the first expansion, filler stuff that won't be a huge loss. Like useless fetch quests.
Dont wait until patch
whats the best way to level in Heaven on High for 61-70
Floors 21-30
Question
If I do the Twinning before the quest āseeking couselā is it going to make any difference in its plot?
Is there a quest progression check is my question
Right but this seems to tie in to it @median locust
AFAIK I donāt think Twinning adds any extra lines.
So I am wondering if thereās any bonus dialogue
Guys can I ask how/where to upgrade the ShB relic armor (to be dyeable and whatnot) this part always confuses me and I tend to miss it
Artifact *
Memoria Miseria Extreme, unlocked by the lv80 relic questline
How do you get from Onokoro to the Isle of Bekko?
Omg no... ok that makes me sad. Thank you tho
Is there any kind of chart or page that shows all quests that have a quest progression checklist?/checkbox
@quasi spire You swim there? Unless you mean getting to where the kojin are, it's a cave somewhere on the big island on the east side of the Ruby Sea.
Should I spend money on neo lshguardian for 460 or wait til 5.3 drops?
Neo ishgard is 480
and there's no new crafted set in 5.3
Only augmented neo ishgard
yeah I'm looking for the cave
anyone? unsync, white mage dps is š© please help me
if i go for the zeta weapon
can i still go back to novus? like its my fave glam so i dont wanna lose it
when upgrading
You can buy replicas later
Aka when you hit zeta
You unlock replicas
For glamour purposes
brb, making alt on chaos
oh isnt that just for like FCs
No
thankyou
Does Fishing count as a āGathering activityā ?
Question: What exactly is the Direct Hit stat? It sounds like a mini-crit or something
Itās basically that, yes.
basically it is. More DH increases the chance, but not the multiplier. Whereas crit also increases the multiplier
Direct hit deals 25% more damage than a normal hit
Both Direct Hit and Critical Hit can also happen at the same time and stack
Ah okay, thank you š

Can I play this game w
i7 10th gen
Intel UHD graphics
16 gb ram and 512 ssd
4 core btw
Just @ me cuz I'm workin on assignments
are you hitting something that's higher level than you, doing content where you're synced below level 26, or not using hard slash before syphon strike?
I'm hitting a striking dummy
what level is the dummy, vs what level are you?
You can miss a dummy higherlv than you
if it's higher level, then accuracy is a thing
@hearty obsidian I donāt know PC specs at all, but you can always try running the benchmark to gauge how well the game will run
@hearty obsidian System will run it fine
alright
thank you
is there a place i can check which games will run fine on it
Hey I think Iāve asked a similar question before but is there a benefit to trying to run previous Edenās Gate/Verse raids?
leves, GC turn-ins
If you're playing a shield healer, should you pre-shield aoe's even if everyone is max hp? I know certain aoe's require mitigation in later raids, but for smaller raidwide damage aoes should I just heal people up afterwards instead of shielding then healing?

The thing with shields is that, outside of high end content, they're not really needed to survive and you can just use off globals to heal up after
Shields in general are "meh" to "ok we need this"
They help out now and then
But you're using a gcd to put up a shield but then you need another to heal up after
ah, so as an ast, outside of high end content, should i stick w/ diurnal sect even if say there's a whm cohealer?
If you disconnect is there a reconnect option at all?
Diurnal is flat out better in 99% of situations
You go nocturnal when you REQUIRE shields or the other healer is another astro
My wireless went out for some reason right on the final fight of Prae. Ugh.
As astro regena dont stack with each other but they stack with white mage regens
Gotcha, that makes sense!
@lime geode I believe you can reconnect to a dungeon if the party didn't find a replacement / finish
or disband
Guys, anyone on Famfrit with high level crafters that would craft a few things for me for a price? 
So I just finished shadowbringers, what's the best way to get my ilvl up? At 430 atm

I was thinking of buying the neo ishgardian armor from the board but it's expensive
!faq gearguide
Yes
Doing the dungeons for accessories will get you some Phantasmagora
To kick you.over the ilvl for eden
What's the req for Eden?
425
Oh I'm already over that
But I'd rather be at the level the stuff is synced at so I'm not weaker than everyone else
A lot of stuff seems to sync at ilvl 470
Its your best bwt foe gear
Without buying
You are going to be weaker without buying neo
No one will mind if you go in with the min requirement, but it's up to you
^
Also this is weird but the neo ishgardian ilvl 480 gear is lower defense than my ilvl 430 journeys end gear, though it does give better stat bonuses
Yeah Hq is much better
Hey, just got to 80 yesterday and got my artifact 485ilevel weapon for DRK. Any other quests or something like that I could do for armor and accessories now?
I was told there was something for the armor after artifact weapon was unlocked iirc
@open heart typically if you create a party finder listing people will join it and help you out
you can just have it say "NEED HELP CRAFTING X WILL TIP, THX"
or something like that
So you guys don't recommend I buy gear from the MB
or even /shout in limsa
I tried the stone sky sea hades extreme trial and my dps wasn't good enough
Though my weapon is ilvl 480
in fact
the fastest way to get 480 ilvl and geared
is to just buy HQ neo-ishgardian gear
Yeah but that's gonna be like 800k down
Is there any way for me to see prices in other worlds without manually going to each
but you can only get 450 tomes per week
Nope
and you can only get 1 token per fight
Have to visit them
per week
Aw I can't change worlds from the crystarium either
It'd have saved me load times since the MB is in the same area
you can go to limsa
and the MB is in the same area as the aetheryte
literally 5 seconds away from the aetheryte
its only uldah + gridania which have MBs in different areas (for the starting cities)
No wonder limsa is always so populated this is so fast
Can someone explain what TEA gear farms are?
Once I finish 3.56 what does my sprout upgrade into?
Oh okay, ty. Are the drops worth something? Is it just gear
just gear
for doing TEA
you can't sell them or anything
the only thing that might be of interest is the mount from E4S
Its so people arent gimped when doing TEA
Once I finish 3.56 what does my sprout upgrade into?
@leaden ginkgo nothing, you lose it
mats that are used to augment 490 crystarium gear will be dropping in the 5.3 alliance raid right?
@leaden ginkgo yes
ty
The coin will be exchanged for them
@little swift So it will just be blank by my name until I get mentor?
no. the tokens required to get the augment material are
Along with the coin from copied factory
and you'll need x1 coin from the 2nd alliance raid, and x1 from the 1st alliance raid
to turn it into a vender
yes you'll have nothing next to your name
to get the augment material
oh thats where the coins i had came from 
nuts vendor will have crystarium augmentation too
^yep
might be faster to just run hunt trains if you want to get the augmented materials
IIRC it's like 2k nuts
can I start stacking sacks of nuts to get the material once 5.3 drops?
yes
Along with the gear
I believe the current nut limit is 4000?
is there a way to report bots?
so if you cap out, you'll be able to buy 2 right away
oh ok ty for the answers everyone
no way to report a bot? I can't find anything
open up a ticket and report them via that
if its a RMT bot
you can right click on their name and hit report as RMT
Is there any way I can like, lock my gear so I don't accidentally sell my gear
no it's like, several bots just farming mobs
I sold my entire 60 monk outfit accidentally
Assign it to a gear set and it will have a note in its icon
they gone now, think they're teleporting /not with ingame things
yeah, then you can message the support team the same way you would report a person normally
just report them as rmt
Wish we could lock it
thats what they're for anyways
Where do I spend White Crafter Scripts? I only see Yellow
@leaden ginkgo I was incorrect, it'll be 3000 nuts for a twine, but 2000 for a coating
there's no option to report him if he's not talking in chat
the twine is for weapons and coating is for armor right?
oh I see, ty
just make sure you buy the correct one
Weapon upgrades are added close to 5.4
AFAIK the old twines and coatings will also be in the shop so you gotta read the names properly
is there any reason to grind for ground mount speed up when flying mounts are faster?
if you have flying in that area then no
the only place you might need it is ARR but they're adding flying so it won't be necessary once flying is released for ARR areas
There are reasons, just not really good ones. Like "I'd rather walk on the ground because"
How do you even get the extra speed up?
Centurio / allied seals
The riding maps?
yea
I thought those made the porters faster
Is there anything I should be worried about in the lvl 30s. Or just keep progressing
just make sure you do your job quests and get your job crystal
Make sure all slots have gear
just keep doing the msq and do your job quests as soon as they are available
Which is every 5 levels
Yeah I'm always topped off on gear. And got warrior at 30. At 32 now I think
yeah, then you should be good, just enjoy the MSQ and make sure you hit that recommended gear button every time you get new gear
Yeah I've been doing that . Sounds good. Thx

Uh so why haven't I unlocked the level 80 gnb quest yet
I've done the tank role quest, shadowbringers, and the level 70 gnb quest
Ooh nvm
The level 80 quest is a normal yellow quest for whatever reason
I think its like that for all jobs
Yes
Hello,
Is the EXP Boost for certain servers any good? And is that the only factor to consider when picking a world?
Hey all. Just started and I'm not feeling the pgl class. How do switch to ranged dps and their clsn?
get to level10 @spring needle and do your lv10 class quest
then you can go unlock other classes
from my experience with leveling all classes are boring as hell up to like 40-50 š
but liimted experience
I'm level 15
did you do your 
the ones related to your class
the pugilist guild is across from the main uldah aetheryte
What materia should I be equipping as a gnb?
also the road-to-70 buff is not the only thing to consider for choosing a server
So the exp bonus would outweigh the world's playerbase? Such as guilds, veteran players, etc?
@half kraken SkS to comfort > crit > dh=det > tenacity
if you have friends on another server you want to play with
What would a comfortable sks value be?
all instanced content is matchmade across the ENTIRE data center
you want to aim for 2.40/2.42
those are the comfy numbers
but its not unplayable faster/slower
2.39 is what it's at rn without any materia
Though Gunbreaker can be played with any amount of sks
2.39 is another job
2.39 is a drk number iirc
ya
but runnable on war
@little swift I have been doing that. I just want to switch to a ranged dps to see how I like it
Okay I think I'll be going with Zodiark then
the only ranged dps you can switch to is archer which is found in gridania @spring needle
What ilvl will the new raid gear be? The 24 man raid
Bruh how am I supposed to reduce my sks lol
if you haven't unlocked access to gridania, you can either try some ninja shit and run over there, or play more
until you naturally travel there the first time
use a different piece squall
if something is giving you sks just use something else
2.39 is fine though
ye
I'm good my ilvl would go way down lol
if its the best gear you have then ilvl + main stat > sub stat
Can I just put crit materia on everything then?
yep
Get eden verse gear
crit until you can't basically
Kk. I'll just wait till the story take me therr
To swap out sks pieces
Eden eventually will do
crit til you can't then Dhit til you cant
Or Memoria EX Gear
the difference on SkS isn't always super noticeable on tanks
Oh also how do I put in t8 materia?
Oh weird could've sworn I tried before and it didn't work
Maybe you can't put in materia with an ilvl higher than the gear?
Oh figures
So you're not putting T8s in lv1 gesr
yeah basically
you can put low level materia in high level gear
but not the other way around
Is there anywhere I can see what the most valuable materia for each job is?
the balance
If I make my pgl retainer a monk will they reset to level 1?

Nope
Ok cos it warned me but it didn't make sense
Also hi ddrox lol
You answer my questions in the dffoo discord too 
Does the 50/60/70 dungeon roulette yield more EXP than the leveling one? Not accounting for daily bonuses
no
Or is it the same
its not designed to give exp
its for poetics
it gives less exp than the leveling one
Ah, gotcha
little question. i made the lvl 20 chocobo quest used the flute but nothing happend? how can i spawn my chocobo now? o.O
its under mount guide @sharp cove
it should be in your mount tab. if you click on the first menu button where you can access your character sheet and minion list there should be a mount guide
I think I might be stuck in some kind of feedback loop... Should I just release my catch? XD
Gonna try three more times, if I mooch another HQ betta I'mma let it go. This can't be normal. XD
Do these monsters drop anything valuable? Why do some monsters have a symbol near their name?
Those are hunting marks! Also are you on Balmung? I just passed that guy š
is there an action type camera movement like in GW2, where I dont have to hold down RMB?
ugh
Do these monsters drop anything valuable? Why do some monsters have a symbol near their name?
@silk burrow b ranks only provide allied seals if they're your mark for the week
aaaah thanks!
There go, feedback loop broke itself just when I was about to release it.
Yeah, the one I saw was in the Singing Shards, that clearly isn't the Shards!
Anyway, is this a common thing or should I report it?
oh I see so it's something to do with allied seals
is there an action type camera movement like in GW2, where I dont have to hold down RMB?
@median bane you can play on standard mode, where the camera shifts when you turn with a/d
thats interesting, its supposed to be able to be mooched from itself though
are you in the north silvertear fishing hole?
because thats one of the areas where it happens @rugged flicker
Yea
Is it worth buying maps
on e6s during ifrit orb kick are there set locations the safe zone can be in?
or could it be literally anywhere in the arena
What do I do when queueing for more EXP?
Its always on a edge cerb
I have 50 people in the queue, so I have some time
the orb kick is on the edge of the arena and you have to eyeball it to see where the safe spot will be.
@leaden ginkgo you could always do some fates while waiting for your queue
or hunt marks, if you havent done yours for the week
is there an easyish way to figure out when and where the brick by brick fates are happening?
The site shows where they can spawn https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2020/Theres_Golems_in_Those_Hills/
As for the timer. It's about 15 mins to respawn I think? It's not super long anyway

awesome, ty!
Can you repetitively turn in the same Collectible Crafting item in for yellow scripts?
how should i gear myt alt while lvling?
Are collectible turn ins a one time thing per day?
Pre 50: dungeon / GC gear is fine
50-55: augmented Ironworks with Poetic tomestone
56-59: supplement augmented Ironworks with dungeon gears or any HQ white gear you can get
60-65: Augmented Shire gear with Poetic tomestone
66-69: supplement your 60-65 stuff with dungeon gears or any HQ white gear you can get
70 - : fill in the blank
@molten spruce
Are collectible turn ins a one time thing per day?
@vocal shell no
alr, thanks
GC turn in are once per day
Custom Delivery turn in are 6 times per week on a cap of 12 iirc
Scrip Turn in are not limited, but the requested item changes daily
@vocal shell
While Ishgard turn ins are static and do not change.
Thanks Eton XD
Although phase 3 IR might change up the ingredient list again
noted, thank you 
GC turn in and Custom Delivery are worth doing.
GC turn in is very good while leveling
Custom Deliveries give you a boat load of scrips but they're limited to 12 total per week, 6 per client.
For GC turn in, If you manage to turn in an HQ item (x2 exp for the result exp) for a starred request item (x2 exp from the base exp), it can become x4 the usual exp (same item, no star, NQ)
If you've got Road to 70, an HQ Starred turnin pretty much doesnt stop giving multiple entire levels until the 70+ region

Which to meld : spell speed or direct hit rate when Iām capped on crits and determination? (White mage)
Direct hit if you want more damage
anyone know what this DRK sword is from?
isnt that stormblood
Takes on average 100 hours to progress and clear
Even if it can be unsync, there are so many mechanics to go around, having more DPS than intended will skip them unnecessarily, you'd pray for it to be synced so at least you will know what mechanic is coming up next.
And uwu specifically needs bosses to die in a certain way
So I unlocked ishgard, but forgot to sync up with the stone in foundation. Now I can't enter through the gate.
there is an NPC you talk to
Something about what you're telling us is wrong.
which npc are you talking to
your current main scenario quest?
Lord of Whorl
Uhh
I wanted to mine some lvl 50 stuff but can't cause I can't enter
that's...not heavensward main scenario quest
That's nowhere near there
you're still working on post ARR
You haven't unlocked ishgard
and haven't enter ishgard
So yeah you've never been to Ishgard
Lord of the Whorl is 2.2 MSQ.
Coming to Ishgard is 3.0 MSQ
It looks like this if you haven't entered the place.
No it doesnt
okay
Big cities always have their maps unlocked regardless if you entered it or not.
Bought the game on my PS4, considering swapping to PC. Do I have to buy the game again or just download it and sign on to my account?
Rebuy it all
Bullshit
The star GC turn-ins that give double XP - they don't quadruple for HQ items do they?
wow. ok thanks.
So since non-starred double for HQ items, I guess always try to HQ every turn in
So before shire what is the best gear
Always HQ company turn ins whenever possible
Best gear at what level
Shire lasts until 63 or 65 if upgraded

I'm trying to run an e5s party. I have never cleared e5s. I have it listed in party finder with the duty completion objective. I've noticed that I can't sign up for the duty if the party has both people that have and have not cleared, because my only options for joining the duty are either 'duty complete' or 'duty incomplete'. how do I sign up for e5s with a mixed party?
if you want anyone to be able to join the party just dont have duty complete specified. you dont have to use those options
don't have it specified where? in party finder, or in the duty finder?
in party finder
do you mean having the objective set as 'duty completion' ?
Im guessing you're listing the party thru Duty Finder? which I dont use for Savage, but you can list it thru PF and not have to set an objective. then anyone can join
I'm listing the party through party finder. Anyone could already join from what I could tell. when I went to sign up for the duty in duty finder, the game said 'someone in the party doesn't meet the requirements'. and once the two people that had already cleared this week left the party, I was able to sign up for the duty
I didn't even know you can list a party through duty finder lol
I set the objective to 'none' in party finder now. maybe that's what was stopping me before from joining the duty with a group of mixed clears and not clears ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Are you talking about on the left or on the right here?
Is Idealized or Crystarium gear better?
I previously have objective set to 'duty completion', because I didn't think that would restrict people that had already cleared for the week from joining
The objective doesn't change anything. So whoever was joining your party just didn't qualify for whatever reason
hmm
Crystarium is higher ilvl
if they had already cleared e5s for the week, how should I have tried joining the duty in duty finder?
yeah was just wondering if the substats from extra materia slots makes it better
I had it like this:
The only thing you should really set when doing PF stuff is undersized party
Oh, you're talking about the raid finder
most cases it'll be worse, sometimes it'll be about on par, depending on substats it can be slightly better for some pieces. But generally once you can upgrade to i500 the crystarium stuff will be better (still a few rare exceptions though) @woeful nacelle
Best way to level 55-60?
I did my highest dungeon, gave me less than 200k from 2.6mil
Dungeons are still better
if they had cleared you should have been able to queue for it. and if your PF was listed for the duty and they joined they should be able to do it as well. im not really sure why it wouldnt work
When selecting Duty Completion: The unspecified DPS player cannot be the same class or job as other players to be matched together in a party.
Might be that
yea
yeah it only matters when you're not a full premade, for that line
š¤·āāļø Absolutely no clue
Seems like it should tell you why people don't qualify but I can't say that for sure
well I was able to join just now with no dupe rules and the same settings
so who knows
mmm you can't select duty completion with people that have cleared for the week
ahh that makes sense
"duty completion" requires 2-chest, it says in the description in there that "it's only available when weekly reward is yet to be obtained"
it does say that in the yellow text ha
if people have cleared you have to pick "practice" instead when you queue
@sweet crane just so you see this
Can someone on Linux help me out? I haven't played in a few months and the Steam version no longer launches. ProtonDB just said to get Proton 5.0.9 GE but that didn't seem to work
if the duty is set to practice, will it still count as a clear for the purposes of being able to join 'duty complete' party finders?
as a PLD should i use all mitigation ogcds at the same time or space them out?
You are doing the actual fight, even in a [practice] party. All practice does is tell people in pf that you haven't learned the whole fight yet
Don't stack all defensives on any tank
one at a time?
One at a time, sometimes when you're doing massive pulls will require a bit more, but that's situation dependent
ok
Can I get help choosing a class please, I'm considering doing either a bard, a red mage or a black mage (I'm a new player)
will practice in the duty finder still reward chests for the week?
red mage you cant do as a starter
Bard can sing and do stuff outside instances, red mages can resurect, black mage is basically megumin
black mage has insane damage but is really tough to play optimally
the chests you get is purely dependent on how many people already have the clear for the week in the party. The setting you put it as doesn't change anything @sweet crane
You can play all classes/jobs on one character, so if you don't like it, you can change
bard you can play cool songs lol, literally play songs
Again, you're doing the actual savage fight, it's not a special practice only version of it
are bards and red mages appreciated, aside from maybe black mage for the explosion thingy i'm not interested in pure raw dps, i'd rather have utility (my friends already play healers, would have been my default pick)
Every job is
and red mage too bc of rez
Provided you can press your buttons
^^^^
if you want a more support like dps eventually pick up dancer
either way bard should be fine for you
it's level locked š¦
yeah, bard seems fine
thanks for helping me find the class i wanna play
im wanting to play it myself
np man
come here to ask questions
they will be answered 24-7
well, i guess i do have another question then
go ahead
what's the starting class for red mage ?
none
Nothing
its lvl locked
heck me
Just hit 50 on anything
Expansion jobs dony have classes
Cause classes are terrible
And SE hates them
literally
hahahaha
lancer was a pain in the ass to lvl up
thankfully gladiator was quick af
sks means skill speed right
yes
what level do i unlock melding
is there some way to autoskip dungeon cutscenes that I don't know about? I feel like I always end up exiting cutscenes later than everyone else even when I'm trying to skip them as quickly as I can
@raw solstice thanks
ty
@ionic hazel about level 17-18 from a side quest in central thanalan
No
BLM is easy to learn hard to master. but at early levels its fairly simple. but so is BRD from my experience
So I finished my free trail of ff14 then I bought the collectors edition of shadow bringer and base game. The collectors edition came with a mount a minion and a weapon for gunbreaker.
I was told to check the moogle but nothing is there.
Ps4 btw digital download
Do you have shadowbringers / the collector's editions registered on... mogstation...? Not sure how that works on PS4 but you'd want to check there
Since they're account bound, it also might take a bit for them to show up

When I signed in after buying and downloading everything it made me re register and link my accounts
@ionic hazel other than random side quests, yes. but you get so many guild seals it shouldnt be an issue
@ionic hazel you can craft them too, but personally I donāt think theyāre worthwhile to craft in terms of profit
@idle sentinelLet me be more explicit. Do you have circles here in the right places?
!faq mogstation
But yes it should
Mogstation in the āyour accountā section
Alright. You'll just have to wait for them to show up then. You might be able to prod the delivery moogle a bit but š¤·āāļø
Ok so just the little mail moogle is where they show up
No that I need them. But is it usually something that takes a long time to get
I assumed it would be instant
A couple hours at most
why am i getting this on my glamour plate?
im trying to put this on a lvl 21 lancer
so its above lvl 15
Is the gear you're trying to glamour overs >= 15?
Did you use it to glamour anything?
Put it in the glamour dresser?
š¤·āāļø maybe post a screenshot of the tooltip[
Are there any quests or stuff I can do that gives me MGP for like a first time doing the thing?
š¤·āāļø maybe post a screenshot of the tooltip[
@vagrant copper it has an x and says binding at the top
i cant ss im on ps4
Does it say market prohibited?
Don't know why that'd be prohibited
suckss thats an easy 300k
How exactly does the espirit gauge work like I land skills but it doesn't increase sometimes o-o?
its chance based on skill use isnt it?
yeah, GCDs used by you (and your dance partner) have a chance to trigger it. And when you have technical finish up, that chance to proc esprit can come from anyone in the party with the buff
Dancer is built very heavily on RNG
But with some practice and understanding skill priorities
It should be very easy for you to grasp and play with all these RNG proc
Is it possible for a new character to get to another city while staying at Lvl. 1?
Maybe through story skip or something...? Not sure how those things work
Between Ulādah and Gridania yes, but not recommended
you could technically visit limsa as well as a lv 1 even if you start in uldah/gridania
Through story skip technically but thatās the worst conceivable reason I can think of to spend money on that and lose out on story
but requires you to be part of an fc with a house in mists or have a friend with a house there
Won't they level a couple times from the exp of finding new areas?
Just play like under three hours and get access to the other cities man
Um, what is FF14Mog and why are they texting me.
I actually already have an experienced character lol
Was just curious cause I remember this guy a few months ago that gave me a kiddragora in limsa
But their starting city seems to be in Gridania, and they're level 1
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/28626643/
Just got a random text from a # "[FF14MOG]FF14Mog.com Fantasia Low to 5.99, Use 6% Code "FMOG", Buy Mog Station Items Over 20, Get an Extra Fantasia."
Ah, that's basically spam
Scam
Not official or anything
Itās a scam.
I figured, idk how they got my number. Guess I'll be changing my password and adding a two step login

they texted your phone number?
That's uh... rofl. Post on any social media that you play FF14?
why can't I search items? Isearch and rightclicking an item doesn't show anything in chat
system messages is on too
tried relogging too
/isearch itemname (or part of item name)
yeah I know how to do that, it's just the message doesn't appear
Then right-click what comes up in chat window and search for item.
If nothing appears then you entered an incorrect input or youāre disconnecting
can I not do it during cross-world party for some reason?
nope, that's not it either :x
What item are you looking for?
ok yeah, works after completely exiting out and opening it back up
weird...
after you use it you have an option to change your character appearance at character select I believe
you use and you can right click on your character at the login screen to edit appearance
Once you use it you have the option at character select
the fantasia is only used up when you confirm the changes
Can try it and then cancel out without losing anything
The option at character select will remain there indefinitely until you go through with it and confirm.
Are levequests the go to for amber vilekin still?
amber vilekin can only be gotten from ishgardian leves
how is an item market prohibited when i bought it off the market???
if you equip it or glamour it then its no longer able to be listed
thats.. ridiculous
Its to prevent oversaturation and is a good game design

lmao for spending 40k to find out it can't be dyed only to be unable to sell it after
the tooltip indicates whether it can be dyed or not
Maybe try to dye first before glamming it, or dye it before you equip it and attack a monster
you can look at the item and tll whether it can be dyed or not before you buy it. if it has a little circle in the upper right corner of the picture it can be dyed
i also believe it will say "Undyeable" in tool tip
But that spiritbond % is what prohibiting you for reselling though
40k is nothing so this is a pcheap lesson tbh
if you mouse over an item that is dyeable you can tell the difference
if an item doesn't have the little circle in the upper right hand corner, it cannot be dyed
if it does, then it can be
coming from PoE where the general chat is usually filled chatter, im on Siren (lvl9atm) no one is socializing is that the norm or just server specific
theres not really a general chat in 14 for socializing
most people don't use /say to chat. Generally people are talking in private channels like their free company (guild) or linkshell chats
basically you only chat with folks in the city states like limsa
and yeah FC and linkshells
Just join a fc
gotcha thanks guys
you can also /shout (assuming not on trial) for an invite to novice network
novice network?
which can be a bit hit or miss on servers, but a lot of people use it as a general chat of sorts when people aren't asking questions
like a guild
novice network is sorta like this channel
it servers to connect new players with veterans who can answer your questions
but like i said, can be a bit hit or miss because its relies on the mentor to self moderate
ahh ok tyty
Thankfully this discord has the best mentors and mods around (totally not ass kissing)

Lets just say....trust advice you get here over advice you get in novice network.
most novice networks are pretty bad because most mentors are pretty bad

Whats the difference between two hsnding as white mage and one handing
None whatsoever. At level 50+, one handers cease to exist.
It was a leftover from 1.0 that they moved away from even before ARR ended.
Its a relic of 1.0/ARR that goes away
Ah ok
One handed weapons are legacy mechanic outside of PLD
Low level white Mage and black Mage can hold shield and one handed staff
But this is gone once you got to lvl 50+ equipments
Once you reach a certain rank in your GC
sergeant 2nd class
They will let you turn in gears for GC
you unlock expert deliveries
You go to the personel officer and do "Expert Delivery"
How much potency increase does a 40% damage buff do?
Take note that some of the lvl 80 blue gears can't be turn in.
Think of potency as the multiplier that your main stat/det gets filtered through to determine base damage
Damage buff exists seperately
What would you want it for?
If you can't turn in gears for seal yet, doing FATEs?
I think the roulette give some away too?
levelling roulette gives some
Yakone, GC seals can be used to purchase house deco, gear (low level, nifty if you want something that looks coherent), items for Anima relic, crafting materials, consumable items for crafters and gatherers to buff exp gain, etc
Later on you'll spend them all on dark matter for repairs (assuming you have crafters levelled), ventures, and cordials
generally
You can even convert GC seals to Gil by buying items with good conversion ratio and sell them to NPC
(I think Dispelling Arrow and the 3 other Anima relic related material has the best ratio, last I check)

Not sure what a mod or admin is going to do for you. This isn't an official channel by any means. Though if you describe what you think is happening, maybe someone can help.

no shouldn't be the case
i bought FFXIV from steam, my main country is argentina so i have my steam region on argentina. but im currently not there and i wont be back for some month, and due to that i cant create an account with argentina as country region, i created another with the country that im currently at, and it says the code does not match the region
i bought the bundle so steam wont let me refund eather
@vagrant copper i just thought they might have more knowledge to help
Does anyone know if you can undersize solo the first part of Born Again Anima?
yes
Overdose, only thing that comes to mind is if you need to create an account in Argentina, use a VPN to create the account.
(Assuming that's actually a thing. IDK)
@vagrant copper i did but it still gives the same error, i used express and proton, i dont know if there are any more that would have argentina
Are you in an EU country right now? I kind of thought that was the only major distinction when it came to regions (beyond some specific countries)
no, im currently at Australia
Australia would count as EU in this case. hmm
