Castrum Abania

#

lv69 dungeon

#

because levelling dungeons give more exp than level cap dungeons

bright badger
#

Ooooh

#

Ok

proven bay
#

Which mounts are two-seaters?

#

Are they limited to only a few?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

current two seaters are: draught chocob, amber draught chocobo, ceremony chocobo, astrope, fat moogle, indigo whale.
4 seaters: regalia and skyslipper

proven bay
#

Ah, I see

hot crane
#

say if I wanna level up my BLM by POTD yet last time I was at floor 31 as level 48 thaumatuge in POTD

#

should I just reset it?

agile laurel
#

the moogle and whale are store mounts, as is the ceremony choco I guess

hot crane
#

or keep doing it as thaumatuge?

agile laurel
#

and the draught choco is via the recruit a friend program

median locust
#

could just up to 50 as thaumaturge

#

to unlock 51-60

#

then you can just delete your save and start from 51-60

agile laurel
#

astrope is via mentor roulette unholy-spam and the 2 4-seaters are savage raid and unobtainable, respectively

median locust
#

cause that's a checkpoint

wintry chasm
#

Yeah I'd just go to floor 50 too

hot crane
#

ok

#

ty

wintry chasm
#

Unobtainable (currently anyway) and savage raid respectively you mean Emu

agile laurel
#

Ooh yes

#

misread

tidal yarrow
#

am I too late for fashion report this week? it says judging not available..

#

after I spent so much time for it..

median locust
#

Yes

prime flume
#

How long can you play the free trial and does it continue after being 35 in 5.3? And is it possible to create a party with free trial people?

median locust
#

It runs from friday to monday

#

After 5.3 it'll be up to level 60. And no it's not possible unless you go through some loops

tidal yarrow
#

i want to cry

median locust
#

You can have someone who's not on free trial invite all the party members you want, then leave it. Then you'll all be together in the same party

#

But that requires you to find someone who'll do that

prime flume
#

Oki.. So if i understood it right: its not possible to play further than 35 when 5.3 is released?

#

If you are 35 now in the free trial

proven bay
#

The best way to create a party is by having a friend who's bought the game

gray sinew
#

it goes through heavensward and lv 60 so you should be able to

#

level cap will be 60 iirc

median locust
#

It'll expand to 60 after 5.3 comes out

weak lance
#

With new cap 60 is there some content i cant try as free player?

median locust
#

Tons of it yeah

#

All lv50 level cap dungeons (there's a lot), then at 60 there's a bunch more with the alexander raids

proven bay
#

You can't do those on the free trial?

median locust
#

normal mode raids you can try out without paying anything

simple shore
#

Thinking you misread that.

median locust
#

oh, yeah

simple shore
#

cant try

median locust
#

missed the t

#

the apostrophe is missing

proven bay
#

I should think everything is available as long as it's content HW or below

median locust
#

They haven't mentionned any content as being restricted

proven bay
#

I'm not actually sure about that though

strong saddle
#

Whats the max g u can get with starter edition

#

Gil*

median locust
#

There isn't a gil cap on the starter edition

#

so 999,999,999

hot crane
#

taking really long for dps to get in potd

#

wonder if squadron command mission is a better choice

median locust
#

It's the same queue time for all roles since there aren't any required roles

hot crane
#

oh?

#

O_O

median locust
#

basically everyone is running floors 51-60 over and over because they're the best exp floors

hot crane
#

ty

median locust
#

meaning all floors before that are kinda dead

#

Get to 51-60 once and then queues will be decent

tidal yarrow
#

I can't tp to eulmore cause I couldn't attune it when I got there for msq

hot crane
#

ok

tidal yarrow
#

now can I? what have I to do to attune it?

median locust
#

Progress MSQ

deep shore
#

where on Shiva/Light can I find myself a hunt linkshell

hot crane
#

yeah I think it's just degen hour rn so queue is long

strong saddle
#

Damn not bas

#

bad

median locust
#

shout in eulmore for a hunt LS at peak time probably

cobalt narwhal
#

is it normal for a pvp queue to take "more than 30 minutes" or is it because of how early it is

median locust
#

what mode

cobalt narwhal
#

its my daily challenge

median locust
#

PvP is pretty dead outside of peak time regardless but if it's not Frontlines Roulette or Hidden Gorge, then it's normal that the queue is bad

twilit arch
#

yeah this is a pretty bad time to be queueing

median locust
#

wait for peaktime or reset probably

#

Reset is in a little less than 2 hours

vivid thorn
#

to be honest PvP is not the best area of the game

cobalt narwhal
#

i just wanted my reward

vivid thorn
#

I tried it once on demo but, given my history with PvP in my last game, I should stay out of it

cobalt narwhal
#

does a lvl 30 bg take away my lvl 30+ skills

median locust
#

bg = battleground?

cobalt narwhal
#

yes

median locust
#

For PvP you have a separate set of skills and you always have all your skills regardless of level

#

You'll wanna setup your hotbards before queueing

#

for that, go to the Wolves' Den

gaunt ermine
#

Hey all, im a new player but not new to the MMO Genre. is it possible to change your characters name at some point in the game?

deep shore
#

You have to pay for that on Mogstation

#

It's like the price of a fantasia or two

gaunt ermine
#

I assumed as much. paid name changes seem a trend. (one that i usually fall for lol). thanks!

white ether
#

What quest starts stormblood?

deep shore
#

@gaunt ermine If your world is congested, transfers are free to a preferred world, but you can cheese a free name change by creating a character using your character's current name on a preferred world that you want to move to, then transfer your character to that preferred world. As 2 characters on the world will have the same name, the game will force you to name change the transferred character.

#

This only works if your world is congested though

median locust
#

Stormblood starts with Beyond the Great Wall, right after The Far Edge of Fate

severe shoal
#

Quick question. I’ve googled where to get Aether Oil for the relic quest and aside from the one weekly quest, I’m not finding it at any of the time vendors where the wiki pages say it’s located. Did it get moved?

twilit arch
#

Auriana and Hismena both sell it, its under "Allagan Tomestones of Poetics (Special Arms)"

severe shoal
#

Oh man, thanks so much! I was looking under “other”

#

I’m such a big dummy

#

❤️

gritty oracle
#

You can also do a weekly in Mor Dhona (Gift of the Archmagus) for one

#

So it's 5 weeks if you're just stockpiling in advance or want to prep for future animas

gaunt ermine
#

@deep shore haha neat trick. thanks! i might try that. i think my server is so i might do that. does the Fantasia bottle offer a name change or only visual?

gritty oracle
#

@severe shoal

#

No name change

median locust
#

Fantasia doesn't offer a name change

severe shoal
#

Thanks!

gaunt ermine
#

Ah, well. thank you all!

gritty oracle
#

Also I recommend using a retainer as a "dummy" to test out your new appearance
Retainer fantasia doesn't cost a lot in the MB

#

I did that when I wanted to fantasia to lala and I realized I don't want to fantasia after all

hollow magnet
median locust
#

Sightseeing log spots

#

Walk up to it and do /lookout

#

sometimes it's a different emote but most of the time, it's /lookout

hollow magnet
#

ah cool, thanks mate

gritty oracle
#

Sometimes it's /pray

agile laurel
#

or /sit

lavish vortex
#

I know this is king of subjective, but what do you guys think is easier, BLM or SAM?

median locust
#

Probably depends on the person

#

but I have more trouble with complicated rotations than to maintain uptime, so I find SAM harder

gritty oracle
#

BLM's main difficulty is finding a spot where you can just plant yourself and spam spells without moving
Samurai is melee, so its difficulty is trying to access the boss in melee range during mechanics

lavish vortex
#

I leveled both to 80 but I have a very hard time trying to pull off the Sam 1 min rotation, while blm I think is easier to adapt depending on your resources, that makes sense?

gritty oracle
#

Also BLM is a nightmare to level because its rotation dramatically changes every couple levels

agile laurel
#

Sam's rotation is piss easy with practice

glacial tree
#

SAM rotation is easier for me, whereas a friend of mine has an easier time juggling Astral/Umbrals and dealing with other BLM-type things

agile laurel
#

it's not easy as soon as you pick it up

#

same as black mage, but les sso

median locust
#

yeah I cleared E5-6S with SAM and it felt pretty hectic, but after some practice it wasn't too bad

#

BLM is extremely comfy in comparison, but I've played that for way longer

lavish vortex
#

Blm has 2 phases and it’s very easy to tell where in the rotation you are at... Sam in the other hand, I never know where I was after a hard mechanic

agile laurel
#

usually it's just worth figuring you can drop the filler

#

if you have 100% uptime through the rotation, use the filler

lavish vortex
#

And blm, even if you have to move, you can use triple, which will let you move freely for some good seconds

agile laurel
#

if you reckon you're out for 2 GCDs or so, drop the filler, if you reckon you're out for notably more, drop a midare

median locust
#

the thing with Triple is, it's a DPS gain so you can't hold it a ton

agile laurel
#

Or just pin a number on the cooldown of tsubame-geishi/higanbana of when you can reenter the burst

median locust
#

a DPS gain on Fire IV or Despair*

lavish vortex
#

Yeah, o hold it only when I know a moving mechanic is coming soon

#

Otherwise I use it for fire 4s

median locust
#

I barely ever hold it for more than a few GCDs, prepositioning and slidecasting usually do the trick

#

like for Diamond Frost you get knocked back, then might get 3 AoEs targetted on you. Triple Cast is good there, lol

rugged pond
#

Is there any way to check when I created a character?

median locust
#

On Lodestone, go to your Achievements section, and sort by oldest

#

then you'll have the date when you got your first achievement and that should be pretty close

nova umbra
#

do I get anything from this guy if I kill him even without a hunt bill for him?

twilit arch
#

No

median locust
#

+1 B-rank killed for the B-rank killing achievements

vivid wolf
#

does the always be casting rule also count for healers at lower lvls (sub 50)?

median locust
#

yes

vivid wolf
#

sometimes it feels like no one needs to get healed, and i dont have enough time to cast stone 1

median locust
#

Find a way to cast that Stone 1 then

nova umbra
#

so what's the difference between those guys and the giant antelopes in south shroud?

median locust
#

your goal is to always be casting something

nova umbra
#

are they both B ranks?

median locust
#

There are just stronger mobs than usual, they only really exist in ARR

nova umbra
#

oh so same symbol but the arr ones don't count to the achievement?

median locust
#

B-ranks are always at level caps, 50/60/70/80

magic light
#

those antelopes in the shroud are....

median locust
#

it's cause they're not B-ranks

magic light
#

relic of ARR mob system that phased out in futility

#

i don't remember what they mean

#

i don't even remember if there was quest for them to use an item for weakening

#

unlike those peiste in thanalan

novel parcel
#

how long do you have after demolishing to get your money back from the guy?

#

cause it says 'for a period'

median locust
#

35 days

novel parcel
#

ah oki, so after 45days you lose the house and after 80 your money too

#

alrighty ty

median locust
#

normally yep

magic light
#

is demolishing in effect now?

median locust
#

but the demo timer is paused right now

#

nope

#

Still paused

magic light
#

oh, for how much longer?

median locust
#

No idea

vivid wolf
#

probably till 5.3

median locust
#

They don't tell people when it'll come back on

twilit arch
#

no

#

they would've made an announcement by now

#

and yes they do

median locust
#

misworded

twilit arch
#

They would've made an announcement that auto demolish is going to be turned on

#

They're not going to simply turn it back on unnanounced

limpid lantern
#

So our tank was obnoxious in playing. He just did single target attacks but did engage 4-5 targets. He was not communicating at all. St the end of the dungeon he was complaining about how he was almost dying and we died a couple of times (he didnt take aggro)

gritty oracle
#

Votekick him

limpid lantern
#

We tried communicating with him the whole dungeon and at the end he talked but for the rest he ignored.

Is there a negative commendation thingy ?

open coral
#

There is no negative comm.

limpid lantern
#

We tried, the other person didnt want to apparently

open coral
#

You can simply withhold yours.

gritty oracle
#

Nope, and sucking isn't really a reportable offense either. Just move on.

limpid lantern
#

Its not about the sucking. Its about the being an asshole about not being good and blaming it on others

#

We tried communicating to give tips and other stuff

#

But he ignored us

gritty oracle
#

If he was toxic in chat, you can report him for harassment?

median locust
#

You can report for harassment if they're clearly just throwing out insults in chat

limpid lantern
#

Sadly he wasnt toxic, just an a-hole in behaviour

median locust
#

Nothing to do then, especially if your party members won't votekick him

limpid lantern
#

Claiming he didnt need the tips (he didnt take aggro on more than one mob once) and tslking with "his bro" who was doing something else was more important or something

proven bay
#

Did they not have tankstance on?

limpid lantern
#

Does this happen often ? Its my first time encountering something negative

faint flare
#

Very rarely

limpid lantern
#

@proven bay he had but he only did single target attacks

proven bay
median locust
#

doesn't happen often but like, every community has its bad apples

proven bay
#

I mean they're just a bad tank. It's nothing you can be mad about really

#

If he doesn't want to learn just move on and forget about it

#

It's not the end of the world

limpid lantern
#

@proven bay im a bit aggrevated about his behaviour afterwards thats all xD

open coral
#

Yeah, that's pretty rare tbh. Most people who run as tanks in group content are at least moderately competent.

median locust
#

most likely will never meet him ever again

limpid lantern
#

Cant be mad about being new tbh, i myself am very new also

proven bay
#

Not everyone likes to be told what they're doing wrong

#

That's a character flaw, and something you can't really force someone to accept

#

It's an ego thing

median locust
#

Can also pay #rants a visit to let it all out, lol

proven bay
#

Just move on with your day and don't get mad about it

limpid lantern
#

Srsly theres a channel for it xD ?

clear snow
#

We weren't even telling him he was doing something wrong just asking if he was a new player

median locust
#

Ye, for people to complain about stuff

open coral
#

Of course there's a channel for it.

#

You think there's only one bad player in the whole game? 😄

novel parcel
#

any ideas why lv80 dungeon roulette is closed off for me? It needs me to complete 3 dungeons, I've done amaurot, grand cosmos and anamnesis. But it only shows Amaurot as completed the other two are ???

open coral
#

Have you done the Twinning?

median locust
#

Twinning and Akadaemia Anyder, optional dungeons

#

One is at the bottom floor of Eulmore, one is in the Crystarium

novel parcel
#

oh, how do I unlock optional dungeons

#

ah oki

open coral
proven bay
#

You just walk up to the dungeon and activate it. Or find a blue quest

#

Either works afaik

open coral
#

You have to do the quest to activate the instance

median locust
#

nah, it's just blue quests or MSQ unlocks

novel parcel
#

alrighty, I'm caught up on main quest so I'll go around unlocking dungeons then

proven bay
#

Weird, I guess I must've unlocked some dungeons without realizing I had the blue quest for it

median locust
#

For some of them, the blue quest has you walk up to the dungeon, then the quest auto completes as it unlocks

mossy kite
#

Waiting for SE support is really building the anticipation of me returning to the game

open coral
#

Some instances are unlocked remotely - the quest NPC that unlocks them isn't near the entrance. But you'll always get the gong and a message that you've unlocked it upon completing a quest step.

gaunt ermine
#

I keep hearing reference that you might get a free Fantasia potion at some point in game. is this true?

strange coral
#

Yes, when you complete the base ARR MSQ, The Ultimate Weapon.

gaunt ermine
#

Cool! thanks!

frank wigeon
#

hey, why can ti craf aetherial stabaliser even when i have the materials ?

faint flare
#

You give it to the npc

#

Also dont borher

#

The shit is worthless

frank wigeon
#

i tried getting in but blue taken

#

i want to get a clear for mount 😄

faint flare
#

Use reds

#

Also get into a discord for BA

#

Or you arw flat out not clearing

novel parcel
#

Also, if I haven't been doing unlocks all the way up to lv80 apart from the necessary ones have I missed anything good?

frank wigeon
#

yeah cheers @faint flare

novel parcel
#

for example, I just went and unlocked palace of the dead

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Crystal tower

faint flare
#

Which should have been done prior to Shadowbringers

green grail
#

if you only got the msq content then you missed all the side content like raids, dungeons, like half the game

median locust
#

Links at the top for previous expansion unlocks

novel parcel
#

ah fair enough, welp

#

ye I only tunnel visioned msq and dungeons it gives to me

#

guess I'll make my way down the list

nova umbra
#

so... did I fuck up? I asked many people and they all said to get crystarium weapon even though it doesn't give crit compared to my summoner relic weapon, and my damage went down lol

cobalt narwhal
#

is it normal that the site doesnt show my glamour

nova umbra
faint flare
#

Do it multiple times cause crit variance is ass

#

The crystarium weapon is better

#

On average it will be higher

green grail
#

@cobalt narwhal the site updates really slowly, like every couple hours, so it'll update eventually if you log off for the night for example

cobalt narwhal
#

It shows my glamour equipt tho

#

Just doesn’t show it in the image

median locust
#

yeah that updates more often

strange coral
#

Rendering the image takes a little more work and probably doesn't update as often as equipment and stats

white bronze
#

What's the big deal with the tailor eel pie that it sells so high?

median locust
#

It's required for the ARR Relic weapon and its materials are relatively hard to get

white bronze
#

Oohh

#

Yea that vintage cooking sherry is a bitch.. The worm i jus buy they relatively cheap now

median locust
#

yeah desynth RNG, lol

prisma raven
#

Are there certain area's fates that are best to do due to how popular they are? I am currently level 62 if that matters.

median locust
#

Not really, not a lot of people actually level with Fates.

#

Lv71+ though there's an extra insentive to doing them, they give you currency which you can use to buy crafting mats or other goodies

#

So those tend to be more active

prisma raven
#

ahh ok thank you

frank wigeon
#

making the most of hydatos ffxiv achievement i cant seem to complete. ive done teh quest location and got my gear to max weapon what more does it want?

median locust
#

Complete the story quests is all you need iirc

frank wigeon
#

i tripple checked that all; the location nodes are set so im lost on waht that needs to be done

heavy mica
#

okay so, after not playing for some time due to reasons, i came back and my house is gone (i knew that would happens, it´s okay) but all my stored stuff from the house as well?! ALL ITEMS?!?!?!
That´s a freaking huge amount of money Oo

frank wigeon
#

watched videos of people doing it so wtf xD

median locust
#

@heavy mica You have 35 days to retrieve them after the house gets demolished, after that it's all gone

frank wigeon
#

@heavy mica you have a time limit to collect the items otherwise they are gone

heavy mica
#

wtf?! millions worth in items gone poof... :/

faint flare
#

Always store your housing stuff before leaving

heavy mica
#

we didn´t have the time to do so, RL F´ed us kinda hard so yeah, RL had priority back then. cool... now months of farming, building and organizing all for nothing :`(

mossy kite
#

you still have the memories 👍

weak flume
#

Is there a way to change the retainer I've put in charge of a mannequin?

glacial tree
#

pretty sure picking it up and placing it again will do the trick

weak flume
#

I tried, it didn't

vivid thorn
#

maybe I should just give up on HW but for a different reason

warm zephyr
#

im just starting out what class should i pick

vivid thorn
#

there are several questions that ought to be answered

ivory mantle
#

Where can I find rots for BLM, I've not played in like 9 months so I've forgotten everything...

halcyon glen
#

at level cap, check the balance

patent citrus
#

Only you can answer that question, @warm zephyr we don't know your preference 🤔

vivid thorn
#

Keeper is making me give up on the game

halcyon glen
#

1-79, we have !faq blmleveling

#

@vivid thorn Oh keeper of the lake is the required dungeon I had the most trouble with in, like, any expansion

#

it's awful

glacial tree
#

@weak flume stand by. gonna try a few things on mine...

halcyon glen
#

so much DDR

#

i assure you it gets easier as you get better buttons

#

and Keeper is the first required dungeon where you really just have to know some stuff

simple shore
#

The problem with keeper is that like.....every role can hose you on the end boss.

ivory mantle
#

How do I find the levelling guide for that?

simple shore
#

Tank clueless and doesnt know where to put the dragons? Hosed
Healer clueless and gets killed? Hosed
DPS clueless and dont kill the shield add? Hosed

vocal star
#

is theres anyway that when you dont move with your mount the music will not being quite?

simple shore
#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
ivory mantle
#

Thank you 😄

halcyon glen
#

grandpa middy has like 20 attacks, many of which have no/not enough tell, and you just need to read the cast bar

#

and know what it means

simple shore
#

Huh?

#

That's false

#

Every one of his attacks has a tell

halcyon glen
#

Right he does have tells

#

they just suck

simple shore
#

Now, they're fast, but they certainly arent "dont get hit by the non-telegraph"

halcyon glen
#

my lag was bad enough i didn't have time to react at least 😛

glacial tree
#

@weak flume Pulling up the mannequin directly into my inventory (not storage) allowed me to choose a different retainer when placing it back down again

weak flume
#

Ah, thanks

vivid thorn
#

and Keeper is getting me panic attacks

glacial tree
#

Keeper... of the Lake?

halcyon glen
#

You're panicking too much. Again, worst case scenario you die a horribly painful death and you learned what not to do for next time

vivid thorn
#

rather than to seek to master but one EX fight, no matter how representative it may be of the rest of the MSQ trials, my FC told me to go master Keeper instead

simple shore
#

Nothing about any of that made any sense.

vivid thorn
#

that I should master keeper if I wanted to get ready for HW

#

instead of attempting to master one EX fight

simple shore
#

Why would you be doing any EX fights if you're just levelling?

glacial tree
#

i think you're overthinking waaay too much. there really is no need to master anything prior to getting into HW.

simple shore
#

This entire line of logic is fucked

#

Tell your FC they're morons, go do Keeper once (unless you already have) and move on.

vivid thorn
#

that just won't help with my panic attacks

glacial tree
#

if you reeaaaallly must master a lowbie dungeon like Keeper of the Lake, watch a tutorial video, then try again

#

just having the knowledge of mechanics and what to expect will help ease your anxiety

simple shore
#

Or...just clear it once and move on

vivid thorn
#

may be a lowbie dungeon, just much harder than other MSQ dungeons from what I'm told

glacial tree
#

you're listening to the wrong people. it really isn't that difficult of a dungeon

vivid thorn
#

it's the last boss causing me all the issues I have with it

#

the first two I could still heal without any real issues

glacial tree
#

which part are you getting hung up on?

#

there is a lot of AoE to dodge. if the rest of your team isn't dodging it, it's not you that's the problem

novel parcel
#

What's the easiest yet effective healer to play? (If the best one is hard to play as for a tiny bit more healing then that's a nono, just looking for a easy healer to level so I can have one)

simple shore
#

WHM is easiest

glacial tree
#

@novel parcel it's subjective, but i found WHM the best to learn on

vivid thorn
#

it's me not dodging it (but mostly after one shield has been used up)

novel parcel
#

ah alrighty

#

I'll have a look at him then

glacial tree
#

@vivid thorn which healer class are you?

Anyone know the best way to level from 70-80? I'm at beginning of Stormblood & people keep saying Heaven-on-high but i don't have that yet.

vivid thorn
#

may be a bit more difficult than WHM

glacial tree
#

@restive cairn HoH is only good for 60-70. best to stick to roulettes

#

in fact, no Stormblood content will be good for 70-80 because it was all designed to get you to 70

#

facing that dilemma myself, actually... 😦

oof, ty for that tho. Trying to get my WHM to 80 now, just finished my DNC

@warped furnace it technically means that its "harder" but functionally it means jack shit

The symbols are pretty much irrelevant in actual practice other than "Red" or "Not Red"

@nova umbra Hi-cordials, or mats/materia

glacial tree
#

@nova umbra materia, materia, materia

#

ah you're right, hi-cordials exist

velvet sand
#

So do the data centers within the regions have anything different then? Like what's the difference between primal crystal and aether?

simple shore
#

That's more of a...playerbase thing than a DC thing, kind of

#

TL;DR Aether/Primal are pretty equivalent at endgame activities (Savage/Ult). Crystal is behind them by a non-insignificant margin.

Hey all, quick question from a new player. Are FCs server specific or DataCenter specific?

Error!

No tag named rogleveling exists, Kupo!

Got it! Thank you!

#

FCs are data center specific I think

simple shore

@olive horizon Only BLM has a command like that, because BLM's leveling rotation is counter to logic and weird.

#

lol

simple shore
#

@velvet sand FC's are server specific. But FC's also arent really meaningful to endgame activities usually.

scarlet arrow
#

FCs are server-specific

velvet sand
#

Oh, Ok. Sorry 😅

patent citrus
#

most important is the pings, population and the fc

#

If you got a friend who plays in certain server, make sure you roll on that server

simple shore
#

That's...not really important.

#

Being on the same DC as your friends is important. Being on the same server is not.

scarlet arrow
#

unless your friends are in a FC together

patent citrus
#

oo I assume you would want to roll in the same FC or something haha

#

nevermind that then

in which case you want to be on the samme server so you can join that FC

plus, you can't mail things across servers (if that matters to you)

I mean if you're all new its fine, but

leaden ginkgo
#

Got it, thanks. I don't know anyone else who plays and my character was on Sargatanas so thats whre i will be

If your friends already play, it might be smarter to roll on whatever server is preferred on that DC

so you can catch up faster

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

where in the mog station do I input a friends's referral code?

I was looking at a guide describing poetics, breaking down what you need to do at "endgame" points. It seemed to indicate you could only wear one Ironworks ring, though? Is that accurate?

halcyon glen
#

Sort of

#

Ironworks gear is indeed unique

#

And as such you can only own one of each ring

faint flare
#

You can wear 1 ironworks ring and 1 augmented ring

#

As they're different

halcyon glen
#

However, for the unique clause an Ironworks ring and an equivalent Augmented ironworks ring are allowed

halcyon grail
#

Augmented ring?

#

You can augment the rings?

wintry chasm
#

yes

#

to ilvl 130

halcyon grail
#

Huh.

wintry chasm
#

instead of ilvl 120

halcyon glen
#

And every other piece

#

Also makes it dyeable, which imo is the primary benefit

wintry chasm
#

you need to buy these items from the poetic vendors and trade them to drake at Hrystmill in North Shroud along with the gear and he'll upgrade it

halcyon grail
#

I saw plus signs on my visible gear, thought that meant it was just them.

wintry chasm
#
  • signs just mean they are glamoured
halcyon grail
#

ohh

halcyon glen

  • signs on your gear means you glammed them

You also need to complete a few command missions with them as well. That is have them accompany you through a handful of dungeons once you unlock the ability to do so.

you can’t buy from anywhere else

you’re locked in on steam

How can some servers be preferred and have locked out the character creation ? Like lich and zodiark ....to have them locked out shouldnt they be congested?

vocal shell
#

too many people online

kind eagle
#

IM IN

amber ingot
#

but the last 4-5 days the character creation is always locked on these servers 😐

vocal shell
#

it’s advised to try during the morning

strange coral
#

Congested status is a bit different than creation locked. Congested keeps creation locked for period of time, such as until next patch. Where as normal creation locked is just locked when the server is full and can unlock on its own when there's less players online.

vocal shell
#

when everyone is asleep or just waking up

#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

@wise acorn 10 if Limsa start, effectively 15 if not

Ah I was off, thanks for the clarification

I dunno where I got 7 from haha

@cobalt narwhal If you really think it lost levels, contact support, because that shouldn't happen except when changing the retainer's class.

simple shore
#

I mean, they're just going to tell you that you're wrong

cobalt narwhal
#

im 100% it lost levels or was just a graphical bug showing it as a lvl it wasnt

simple shore
#

Your retainer did not lose levels from its venture. No way.

halcyon glen
#

@cobalt narwhal You know how when you go into a level 15 dungeon as a level 19 character you sync down?

#

Your retainer is still level 19, however there's no level 19 Venture

simple shore
#

In fact, i'd bet every gil i have that you were looking at its "number of items in inventory" instead of "level" or something like that.

halcyon glen
#

So they have access to the highest Venture that's below their level

cobalt narwhal
#

no cause thats at 21 items

simple shore
#

because its impossible for a retainer to lose levels other than going to level 1 because you reset it

halcyon glen
#

And as ventures come in multiples of 5 early on

#

Who's the quickest class to get to level 10?

cobalt narwhal
#

so its still 19?

#

i dont get it

halcyon glen
#

yes

oblique forum
#

Archer seemed fairly quick.

cobalt narwhal
#

why did i get a lvl up to 16 then

#

shouldnt i be 20

halcyon glen
#

@oblique forum if you're rushing Rogue, start as a Marauder or Arcanist

oblique forum
#

Thanks!

simple shore
#

@oblique forum all of them? But if you want to be rogue, start as Marauder or Arcanist.

halcyon glen
#

@cobalt narwhal if you levelled up to 16 you were never level 19 to begin with

median locust
#

you literally cannot lose levels in any way in FFXIV, aside from dying inside the Eureka instances

simple shore
#

and even that is a self-contained thing, not your actual level

cobalt narwhal
#

that isnt a retainer tho

median locust
#

and retainers only delevel from you, personally choosing to reset their class to 1

halcyon glen
#

unless you've screens to prove it frankly we don't believe you, and neither will support

simple shore
#

Yeah

cobalt narwhal
#

lmfao im not asking for compensation for a lvl 19...

#

but im 100% serious

#

just dont want it to happen again

simple shore
#

Lemme put it this way.

median locust
#

You misunderstood something somewhere, 100%

so i thought id ask why it did

#

But mostly you're going to be using Emerald.

Topaz is better than Emerald if you only have 1 target, but don't have the third one yet

is not possible to send a mogstation item to another of my character via mail right?

#

if you already have it on a character, no

nono

it is still in the mail

Topaz used to be an actual tanking pet with taunts and stuff, but that got changed in ShB, unfortunately.

Oh geez

repeatedly?

misty acorn
#

yeah

open coral
#

@misty acorn Your best option for leveling if you don't have MSQ or need to get through a level wall is to do MSQ, Leveling, and Alliance raid roulette first, then specifically queue your highest level leveling dungeon.

simple shore
#

No no non

#

Okay

#

so

cobalt narwhal
#

yall are actually pretty ignorant tbh

misty acorn
#

and then fates and side quests whilst waiting

simple shore
#

You only get the bonus from roulettes once a day.

#

So you do each one once

cobalt narwhal
#

mistake or not being that dense to the possibility of a glitch

open coral

50/60/70 roulette doesn't give a ton of xp because those are meant as "max level" dungeons.

simple shore
#

and then after that, you do the highest level dungeon you have access to

misty acorn
#

alrighty

simple shore
#

50/60/70 in particular was bad for you because without the bonus, those dungeons give nearly nothing.

neat imp
#

i know its a dumb question but how do you meet people on ffxiv

vocal shell
#

Nut, you think by now people would have encountered this glitch

misty acorn
#

yeah we noticed they were pretty bad

open coral
#

@cobalt narwhal If you think there was actually a glitch, then you should be contacting support, not getting mad at people here for telling you that literally nobody else has ever encountered such a problem.

cobalt narwhal
#

i have no proof

vocal shell
#

Without proof, it’s very likely it’s just a you problem

cobalt narwhal
#

why the fuck would i waste my time with support

median locust
#

you're wasting your time here arguing though

simple shore
#

Because if what you're saying is true there would be logs of it.

simple star
#

they have logs

misty acorn
#

thanks for the help @simple shore

did they say anything about raising gil limit when the pach comes out for free trial ?

Ballroom Etiquette - Excessive Petticoats

dry prairie
#

im lvl 21 and i still cant unlock mounts or glamour T.T, i did so many sidequest and hunting that i left behind the main quest xD

median locust
#

Main quest should be your main goal since it unlocks 99% of content in this game

simple shore
#

MSQ gates basically everythign in this game

median locust
#

along with class quests

full storm
#

bummer

dry prairie
#

yeah but im those mmorpg players that have a serious problem if i see a exclamation point on the map for a quest

#

hahah

simple shore
#

You should get over that

dry prairie
#

it gives me anxiety

median locust
#

yeah sidequests aren't reallly... useful in this game

simple shore
#

Sidequests are....a very poor use of your time

median locust
#

if they aren't blue quests

halcyon glen
#

as in: if you don't get over that ASAP you will hate this game

median locust
dry prairie
#

yeah im trying to get over this thing

#

now im only trying to do main quest and blue ones for my class

simple shore
#

Well at the very least

open coral
#

You'll either quickly learn to prioritize msq and bluequest or you'll get overwhelmed and perish

simple shore

get over before you hit 50 and reach mor'dhona

#

nah dont worry, i really really love this game as a whole, i can take my sweet time not trying to rush anything

median locust
#

Well you have to BEAT The Bowl of Embers Hard

#

not just unlock it

open coral
#

^

lilac rover
#

ahh

open coral
#

Since the (Hard) trials are in roulettes, it's typically pretty easy to get a group for them.

#

Or you can ask a high-level friend to unsync run you through all three of the (Hard) primals so you can continue with your MSQ more quickly.

simple shore
#

Probably best to just do it though.

lilac rover
#

well i have no friends yet 😄 but dw will do it

simple shore
#

since, ya know, you have to do Titan HM for real at a certain point

lilac rover
#

thanks for answer

median locust
#

Much more fun to do them synced lol

noble current
#

what can i do with collectables again, which arent high quality enough to be turned in for yellow scrips? i guess only reduce to normal material no?

open coral
#

It's not like they're actually hard anyways 😄

simple shore
#

Reduce quality is all you can do. If they arent useful as a non-collectible (because they're specifically only for collectable turnins and nothing else) throw them on the ground.

median locust
#

pretty much, if they don't mean the minimum, they're useless

simple shore
#

At least for crafters

noble current
#

nah, gathering

simple shore
#

for gatherers, depending on the item, it might qualify for aetherial reduction

noble current
#

so reduce and then keep in case i need for crafting i guess (unfortunately it doesnt, ive checked already)

lilac rover
#

btw i have to tell, i were super excited getting 50 lvl with thinkin yeah finally i can play astrologist, and than boom i have to do like 10 h more questline to unlock it, without getting any xp

#

what is that ! 😄

noble current
#

yeah post ARR questlines is yikes

#

they plan on reworking it tho

median locust
#

the devs know it's a little much at least, there's an overhaul coming on august 11th

noble current
#

already on august 11th?

median locust
#

13% of quests getting deleted or streamlined

#

yep

#

plus they'll add flying to ARR areas after you beat the ultima weapon, so traversing the areas won't be as annoying

lyric warren
#

is there a pre done (what to meld) for the best Market board DoH gear? (no over meld if its even possible)

median locust
#

Wouldn't recommend melding DoH gear at the moment

#

new gear is coming out in a week

lyric warren
#

new sellable MB gear or do u have to get them with scripts

faint flare
#

Sellable

#

Aka new craftes gear

median locust
#

Craftable and sellable

faint flare
#

The new Facet gear

lyric warren
#

haha rip just bought full set now lol

shrewd relic
#

How can i check my progress on "Bio-Doma V" achievement?

#

Looking through achievements right now but no idea where its located

gloomy ice
#

Achievements > Character > General.

#

It’s near the bottom

shrewd relic
#

damn okay i see it

#

doesnt show my progrss though LOL

gloomy ice
#

But it doesn’t exactly show progress.

shrewd relic
#

oof

#

is paper mill the last step?

simple shore
#

Not even remotely close

shrewd relic
#

omg

#

i though i unlocked the glam after donating 120k?

#

Need help, task is to get a princess trout from nym River using crayfish ball bait but it says bait isn't suitable for area...

gloomy ice
#

Rogue River in Middle La Noscea also has Princess Trout. It’s right outside the exit from Limsa.

frigid bough
#

Okay, I'll head there.. But why would the instructions be to go to nym River if its impossible

#

Maybe I'm doing something wrong

gloomy ice
#

I’m uncertain if that’s one of the disabled fishing holes. I recall there was a problem with a couple fishing spots that led to them being disabled.

frigid bough
#

Ah okay no prob thanks

kind eagle
#

I reached shb

#

Is there any good item shop for headstart

#

Or progress msq

median locust
#

MSQ gives you a bunch of HQ gear

#

so MSQ

kind eagle
#

Oh

faint flare
#

Scaevan gear if you haven't already

kind eagle
#

The 1st quest already gave me a better katana

raven sage
#

And if you bought scaeven gear you're still set

faint flare
#

From rhalgars

kind eagle
#

I have scaeven already

#

U told me last time

median locust
#

Scaevan Katana?

simple shore
#

If you had augmented scaeven, the first quest did not give you a better weapon

median locust
#

if so the first katana you get through ShB MSQ shouldn't be better

simple shore
#

That i can assure you of

kind eagle
#

Oh

#

Not augmented yet

median locust
#

The first one you get through MSQ is 385 isn't it?

simple shore
#

Only 100 poetics for it to be better than anything until level 75

kind eagle
#

Ye 385

median locust
#

but Scaevan is 390

simple shore
#

and yeah 385. so it should still be worse than normal scaeven

kind eagle
#

Iirc my katana is 370?

raven sage
#

That's not scaeven then

median locust
#

did you buy the ryumyaku one, lol

simple shore
#

scaeven is 390

#

400 upgraded

kind eagle
#

Guess i didnt buy yet

tidal yarrow
#

is there any translation of urianger dialogues

kind eagle
#

Im using lv70 sam katana

simple shore
#

"translation"? Its not in a different language

median locust

I wish

i got a question

#

He just talks weird.

zealous cave
lyric warren
#

how do u know how many overmelds u can do on a gear piece ?

zealous cave
#

do i buy this for pc?

median locust
#

He uses a ton of hard words and it's annoying as a non-native speaker lol

zealous cave
#

i only have the game on ps4

#

would that give me all the expansions

median locust
#

if you want to play on PC you need to buy base game + expansions again

#

complete edition works

#

just shadowbringers wouldn't work

tidal yarrow
#

me reading that convo thinking I joined shb at 80 with everything ilv480

median locust
#

also Collector's =/= Complete

tidal yarrow
#

I fucked up lmao

zealous cave
#

this one?

raven sage
#

@lyric warren You can only meld up to 5 slots so if it has 1 slot for guaranteed meld then you can overmeld 4 times, if it has 2 guarenteed slots you can overmeld 3 times

median locust
#

Yeah that would give you everything you need

zealous cave
#

alright ty

median locust
#

and another 30 free days since you're registering a new platform

zealous cave
#

wait

#

that adds the my remaining days on ps4 right?

median locust
#

yeah it adds itself on top

#

or in front

#

not sure

zealous cave
#

whew alright thanks

median locust
#

but it doesn't overwrite them

zealous cave
#

this is a huge ass sale

#

im glad i got it in tim

gloomy ice
#

Sub time is shared between platforms. If you have multiple versions registered, you’ll need only a single subscription to play any of them.

How do I get the copied factory raid?

faint flare
#

Do the quest line that starts.with "word about korma" in tomra at 80 @arctic holly

gloomy ice
#

Tanks are the only jobs that have associated mounts at present. Which are acquired by simply using tanks in current content.

frigid bough
#

Where can I cook fish

faint flare
#

With culinarian

#

Occasionally

arctic holly
#

Can raids be done multiple times?

faint flare
#

Yes

median locust
#

Conjurer also has a unicorn from a sidequest at level 30

frigid bough
#

Occasionally
@faint flare why occasionally

faint flare
#

Because fish aren't used that much

arctic holly
#

I heard that the copied factory was a company sumthin raid so is joining the raid only doable in a company?

faint flare
#

No

median locust
#

Alliance Raid

faint flare
#

Its a 24man raids

median locust
#

Which literally just means 24 players

faint flare
#

Like crystal tower

median locust
#

it's what they're named

arctic holly
#

Ah crap so basically the queue times are going to be insane then

remote lintel
#

no

median locust
#

Depends on the class

faint flare
#

Not really

median locust
#

Tanks yes

#

Healer/DPS queues are fine

faint flare
#

People are gonna be running it for coins

short sparrow

I'm a returning player and I would love to do the old raids... finding people who will take someone who doesn't know the fights is not easy.

median locust

Which raids are you talking about is the question, mostly

nova umbra
#

Who are some of the most fun dps classes to do dungeons with? I personally loath doing dungeons with summoner but love doing trials and raids with it, so was wondering if there is some other dps class I should level for doing dungeons.

median locust
#

Old normal difficulty raids, you just queue for them and you'll clear them easy

#

Binding Coil raids, you'll need to grab a level 80 or 2 to carry you

#

old savage raids will need a handful of people to unsync them

silk burrow
#

from lvl 60-80 are all the good armor upgrades in idyllshire? I have the shire philosopher gearset, and shire accessories. I just unlocked Anima Weapons. So Should I do those missions for weapon upgrades+ the ones I would get from MSQ?
or is there a place like iron works/ idyllshire later on where you can trade tomes for armor?

short sparrow
#

Binding Coil is one I never got to do.

remote lintel
#

rhalgr's reach for lvl 70

median locust
#

Wait until you're level 80, grab a level 80 friend and you'll be able to do all of them together

#

without help

remote lintel
#

anima weapons arent worth it

median locust
#

or get 2 lv80's to carry you

vocal shell
#

outside of glamour purposes

glacial tree
#

@nova umbra anything with large aoe radius attacks are fun in dungeons. SAM, MNK, and any of the physical ranged DPS come to mind

short sparrow
#

It's not required for progression, then? You don't need to do it to access any later stuff?

vocal shell
#

no

silk burrow
#

oh good thanks now i can continue msq until i unlock rhalgar

remote lintel
#

raids are never required except crystal tower

median locust
#

Binding Coil are old endgame raids, the story for them is important but it's not necessary

short sparrow
#

Cause I'm still dragging my character through the 2.x patches right now.

vocal shell
#

8man raids are never mandatory

#

afaik

remote lintel
#

@silk burrow you can't buy poetics gear from rhalgr's until you finish stormblood

simple shore
#

If you care about story at all, doing Binding Coil before reaching Heavensward will be...."helpful" in the sense that continuity goes out the window if you dont.

median locust
#

@nova umbra BLM is comfy and easy. Unless you're running Amaurot, that dungeon sucks. SAM is pretty fun though, once you get into the rhythm of your combo being Cone -> Circle -> Cone -> Circle

remote lintel
#

then for lvl 80 its eulmore

short sparrow
#

I guess I could just watch it on Youtube though if I need the story to make sense.

simple shore
#

but tbh, its not that hard to get done, because you can just put up a PF that says "Binding Coil first time bonus unsynced" and 80's will join just to harvest your poetics bonus.

worthy roost
#

can you do eureka with a level 60 character after unlocking it?

median locust
#

no

short sparrow
#

Ooooh OK. I'll try it.

median locust
#

well yes but you'll die

simple shore
#

Its 100 poetics for first clear on each wing - and there's 12 that give that bonus.

median locust
#

It'll let you switch to that lower level job but it won't sync you up

worthy roost
#

;-;

silk burrow
#

Nice thanks for the tip. I'm going to grind msq until i reach those places

worthy roost
#

always thought it was a good way to level level 60s

silk burrow
#

@remote lintel Tip

short sparrow
#

I'm very excited by how much content there is now. When I last played I was just kinda burned out on the 2.x patches but since then there has been 2 more expansions if I manage to not burn out again.

remote lintel
#

you mean 3 expansions?

#

heavensward is 3.x

short sparrow
#

HW was already out when I quit.

median locust
#

might have played during HW

remote lintel
#

thats 3.0

short sparrow
#

I just didn't get to it because the 2.x patches are long-winded.

median locust
#

he quit on 2.X during HW days

remote lintel
#

oh

glacial tree
#

@worthy roost the only exp you get from Eureka is “Elemental,” meaning your Eureka-specific exp/levels. it has no bearing on your actual job levels 😦

remote lintel
#

i mean

#

if you waited like a week more the 2.x patches would have been trimmed
