yes
current two seaters are: draught chocob, amber draught chocobo, ceremony chocobo, astrope, fat moogle, indigo whale.
4 seaters: regalia and skyslipper
Ah, I see
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?
the moogle and whale are store mounts, as is the ceremony choco I guess
or keep doing it as thaumatuge?
and the draught choco is via the recruit a friend program
could just up to 50 as thaumaturge
to unlock 51-60
then you can just delete your save and start from 51-60
astrope is via mentor roulette unholy-spam and the 2 4-seaters are savage raid and unobtainable, respectively
cause that's a checkpoint
Yeah I'd just go to floor 50 too
Unobtainable (currently anyway) and savage raid respectively you mean Emu
am I too late for fashion report this week? it says judging not available..
after I spent so much time for it..
Yes
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?
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
i want to cry
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
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
The best way to create a party is by having a friend who's bought the game
it goes through heavensward and lv 60 so you should be able to
level cap will be 60 iirc
It'll expand to 60 after 5.3 comes out
With new cap 60 is there some content i cant try as free player?
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
You can't do those on the free trial?
normal mode raids you can try out without paying anything
Thinking you misread that.
oh, yeah
cant try
I should think everything is available as long as it's content HW or below
They haven't mentionned any content as being restricted
I'm not actually sure about that though
taking really long for dps to get in potd
wonder if squadron command mission is a better choice
It's the same queue time for all roles since there aren't any required roles
basically everyone is running floors 51-60 over and over because they're the best exp floors
ty
meaning all floors before that are kinda dead
Get to 51-60 once and then queues will be decent
I can't tp to eulmore cause I couldn't attune it when I got there for msq
ok
now can I? what have I to do to attune it?
Progress MSQ
where on Shiva/Light can I find myself a hunt linkshell
yeah I think it's just degen hour rn so queue is long
shout in eulmore for a hunt LS at peak time probably
is it normal for a pvp queue to take "more than 30 minutes" or is it because of how early it is
what mode
its my daily challenge
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
yeah this is a pretty bad time to be queueing
to be honest PvP is not the best area of the game
i just wanted my reward
I tried it once on demo but, given my history with PvP in my last game, I should stay out of it
does a lvl 30 bg take away my lvl 30+ skills
bg = battleground?
yes
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

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?
I assumed as much. paid name changes seem a trend. (one that i usually fall for lol). thanks!
What quest starts stormblood?
@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
Stormblood starts with Beyond the Great Wall, right after The Far Edge of Fate
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?
Auriana and Hismena both sell it, its under "Allagan Tomestones of Poetics (Special Arms)"
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
@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?
Fantasia doesn't offer a name change
Thanks!
Ah, well. thank you all!
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
what are those?
Sightseeing log spots
Walk up to it and do /lookout
sometimes it's a different emote but most of the time, it's /lookout
ah cool, thanks mate
Sometimes it's /pray
or /sit
I know this is king of subjective, but what do you guys think is easier, BLM or SAM?
Probably depends on the person
but I have more trouble with complicated rotations than to maintain uptime, so I find SAM harder
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
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?
Also BLM is a nightmare to level because its rotation dramatically changes every couple levels
Sam's rotation is piss easy with practice
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
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
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
usually it's just worth figuring you can drop the filler
if you have 100% uptime through the rotation, use the filler
And blm, even if you have to move, you can use triple, which will let you move freely for some good seconds
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
the thing with Triple is, it's a DPS gain so you can't hold it a ton
Or just pin a number on the cooldown of tsubame-geishi/higanbana of when you can reenter the burst
a DPS gain on Fire IV or Despair*
Yeah, o hold it only when I know a moving mechanic is coming soon
Otherwise I use it for fire 4s
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
Is there any way to check when I created a character?
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
do I get anything from this guy if I kill him even without a hunt bill for him?
No
+1 B-rank killed for the B-rank killing achievements
does the always be casting rule also count for healers at lower lvls (sub 50)?
yes
sometimes it feels like no one needs to get healed, and i dont have enough time to cast stone 1
Find a way to cast that Stone 1 then
so what's the difference between those guys and the giant antelopes in south shroud?
your goal is to always be casting something
are they both B ranks?
There are just stronger mobs than usual, they only really exist in ARR
oh so same symbol but the arr ones don't count to the achievement?
B-ranks are always at level caps, 50/60/70/80
those antelopes in the shroud are....
it's cause they're not B-ranks
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
how long do you have after demolishing to get your money back from the guy?
cause it says 'for a period'
35 days
normally yep
is demolishing in effect now?
oh, for how much longer?
No idea
probably till 5.3
They don't tell people when it'll come back on
misworded
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

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)
Votekick him
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 ?
There is no negative comm.
We tried, the other person didnt want to apparently
You can simply withhold yours.
Nope, and sucking isn't really a reportable offense either. Just move on.
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
If he was toxic in chat, you can report him for harassment?
You can report for harassment if they're clearly just throwing out insults in chat
Sadly he wasnt toxic, just an a-hole in behaviour
Nothing to do then, especially if your party members won't votekick him
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
Did they not have tankstance on?
Does this happen often ? Its my first time encountering something negative
Very rarely
@proven bay he had but he only did single target attacks

doesn't happen often but like, every community has its bad apples
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
@proven bay im a bit aggrevated about his behaviour afterwards thats all xD
Yeah, that's pretty rare tbh. Most people who run as tanks in group content are at least moderately competent.
most likely will never meet him ever again
Cant be mad about being new tbh, i myself am very new also
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
Just move on with your day and don't get mad about it
Srsly theres a channel for it xD ?
We weren't even telling him he was doing something wrong just asking if he was a new player
Ye, for people to complain about stuff
Of course there's a channel for it.
You think there's only one bad player in the whole game? 😄
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 ???
Have you done the Twinning?
Twinning and Akadaemia Anyder, optional dungeons
One is at the bottom floor of Eulmore, one is in the Crystarium

You just walk up to the dungeon and activate it. Or find a blue quest
Either works afaik
You have to do the quest to activate the instance
nah, it's just blue quests or MSQ unlocks
alrighty, I'm caught up on main quest so I'll go around unlocking dungeons then

Weird, I guess I must've unlocked some dungeons without realizing I had the blue quest for it
For some of them, the blue quest has you walk up to the dungeon, then the quest auto completes as it unlocks
Waiting for SE support is really building the anticipation of me returning to the game
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.
I keep hearing reference that you might get a free Fantasia potion at some point in game. is this true?
Yes, when you complete the base ARR MSQ, The Ultimate Weapon.
Cool! thanks!
hey, why can ti craf aetherial stabaliser even when i have the materials ?
Also, if I haven't been doing unlocks all the way up to lv80 apart from the necessary ones have I missed anything good?
yeah cheers @faint flare
for example, I just went and unlocked palace of the dead
Which should have been done prior to Shadowbringers
if you only got the msq content then you missed all the side content like raids, dungeons, like half the game
Links at the top for previous expansion unlocks
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
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
same rotation, with crystarium being below :/
Do it multiple times cause crit variance is ass
The crystarium weapon is better
On average it will be higher
@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
yeah that updates more often
Rendering the image takes a little more work and probably doesn't update as often as equipment and stats
What's the big deal with the tailor eel pie that it sells so high?
It's required for the ARR Relic weapon and its materials are relatively hard to get
Oohh
Yea that vintage cooking sherry is a bitch.. The worm i jus buy they relatively cheap now
yeah desynth RNG, lol
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.
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
ahh ok thank you

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?
Complete the story quests is all you need iirc
i tripple checked that all; the location nodes are set so im lost on waht that needs to be done
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
watched videos of people doing it so wtf xD
@heavy mica You have 35 days to retrieve them after the house gets demolished, after that it's all gone
@heavy mica you have a time limit to collect the items otherwise they are gone
wtf?! millions worth in items gone poof... :/
Always store your housing stuff before leaving
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 :`(
you still have the memories 👍
Is there a way to change the retainer I've put in charge of a mannequin?
pretty sure picking it up and placing it again will do the trick
I tried, it didn't
maybe I should just give up on HW but for a different reason
im just starting out what class should i pick
there are several questions that ought to be answered
Where can I find rots for BLM, I've not played in like 9 months so I've forgotten everything...
at level cap, check the balance
Only you can answer that question, @warm zephyr we don't know your preference 🤔
Keeper is making me give up on the game
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
@weak flume stand by. gonna try a few things on mine...
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
The problem with keeper is that like.....every role can hose you on the end boss.
How do I find the levelling guide for that?
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
is theres anyway that when you dont move with your mount the music will not being quite?
!faq blmleveling
Thank you 😄
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
Now, they're fast, but they certainly arent "dont get hit by the non-telegraph"
my lag was bad enough i didn't have time to react at least 😛
@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
Ah, thanks
and Keeper is getting me panic attacks
Keeper... of the Lake?
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
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
Nothing about any of that made any sense.
that I should master keeper if I wanted to get ready for HW
instead of attempting to master one EX fight
Why would you be doing any EX fights if you're just levelling?
i think you're overthinking waaay too much. there really is no need to master anything prior to getting into HW.
This entire line of logic is fucked
Tell your FC they're morons, go do Keeper once (unless you already have) and move on.
that just won't help with my panic attacks
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
Or...just clear it once and move on
may be a lowbie dungeon, just much harder than other MSQ dungeons from what I'm told
you're listening to the wrong people. it really isn't that difficult of a dungeon
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
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
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)
WHM is easiest
@novel parcel it's subjective, but i found WHM the best to learn on
it's me not dodging it (but mostly after one shield has been used up)
@vivid thorn which healer class are you?
SCH
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.
may be a bit more difficult than WHM
@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
nice, grats!
Keeper of the lake is unremarkably easy
i'd never have imagined setting that as a standard for heavensward difficulty spikes
is theres anyway that when im not moving with my mount the music will not weaken
before then I would have imagined EX to be a yardstick for post-ARR
@vocal star nope - all you can do is turn it off and on
Wheres a good place to find an active FC?
Yell at limsa
Suprised there isnt a channel for that here
there is, actually 🙂 #603040697884475393
Facebook...digital heroin...yuck
^ i hear you
Whats NN?
novice network. you'd have to be invited to it, though
and you'd have to be a sprout (or flower, i think)
np - gl!
Silly question but how come there is only a primal channel for recruitment?
You can only get the channel because you have the role
i think it has to do with the role you chose
What is the difference between the data centers?
Location i think?
what does this symbol next to the name mean
what should I buy with yellow scrips if I'm capped and have unlocked every gathering node?
@warped furnace B Rank (hunt mark)
Incorrect
@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"
I never would have guessed that's what it meant
@nova umbra Hi-cordials, or mats/materia
@nova umbra materia, materia, materia
ah you're right, hi-cordials exist
So do the data centers within the regions have anything different then? Like what's the difference between primal crystal and aether?
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.

So Aether/Primal if you wanna get stuff done basically?
Pretty much
take this with a grain of salt, but a streamer i watch who raids on both Aether and Primal feels like PF on Primal is easier to get completions
!faq rogleveling
Hey all, quick question from a new player. Are FCs server specific or DataCenter specific?
@olive horizon Only BLM has a command like that, because BLM's leveling rotation is counter to logic and weird.
lol
@velvet sand FC's are server specific. But FC's also arent really meaningful to endgame activities usually.
FCs are server-specific
Oh, Ok. Sorry 😅
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
That's...not really important.
Being on the same DC as your friends is important. Being on the same server is not.
unless your friends are in a FC together
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
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
Like me in Australia there are no official oceania server, so had to browse around ffxiv discord and facebook and ask around which server we reside in 
just out of curiosity, which one was it?
Tonberry and Kujata
is there a bank of sorts to store materials and items? I'm running out of room in my bags :/
Retainers
chocobo saddlebag
!faq retainer
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)
What's TEA?
any guide for materia for each class?
I don't know what to put on my WHM staff for raiding D:
oh yeah
it was everything about each and every class
I will get you a invite
thanks!!!
primarily weapon
trying to run FFXIV on my macbook.. says it is using 130GB of RAM. I only have 16GB though rofl. anyone seen this? pretty sure this macbook is below minimum required specs
can someone share a controller setup for botanist and miner?
so I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I'm having trouble with the square enix store
with what
Hello. Quick question on the Tomestones of Law: Is the dog neck piece the only unique item?
i believe so
Good. With the event ending soon, I need something like 400 more tomestones to grab EVERYTHING.
100 is far more manageable.
when I'm in the checkout
after inputting my billing information and whatnot
the only button to hit is "review order"
and then it sort of minimizes the payment information window and the second window, "review", doesn't open
did you try on a different browser
and did you disable your ad blocker
possibly make sure you enable popups on that site
@rich orbit wtf, memory leak? I never used a mac pc so no idea how to fix it, best I can do is turn it off and on again and/or go to #technology-discussion
I'll do all of those things thank you
is Monk DPS meta?
When is the beanstalk thingy going away ?
@digital basin there is no meta
!faq anoteonthemeta
@digital basin afaik there isnt really a meta because everything is viable
i think the doh/dol lounge might have some
anyone know of a way i can transfer before 90 day restriction, tryna play with a friend?
there is no way
is Monk DPS easy to play?
the 90 day restriction isn't only there for show
yes damager
rip, should i be worried if i wanna raid with him?
is he on the same DC
If you're on the same datacenter, you can
then you can
then yeah the only noteworthy thing is that you can't be in the same FC/guild
is there a chat to use to look for an fc?
is there another discord for crash support or something?
#technology-discussion maybe
@leaden ginkgo can try recruitment channel
Are the coins for the new A raid also once a week?
yes
i c
what book do i need so i can gather everything in shb?
i guess this 3?
but since i dont fish yet i can skip the last one?
Yes and yes
Nope
yeah I switched from firefox to chrome and disabled anything that might stop the website from doing its thing and got the same problem
I can post a picture of what my screen is, with all my personal information omitted
oh I think I got it working
nevermind
this is actually probably a good sign because it means something's up with the site at the moment and I can try again later
okay this is extraordinarily wack so I'm going to just share it in case anyone has a similar problem my case is documented
in order to fix this problem, I had to go to my account's saved billing information and fill it out there instead of at the check out
but
that didnt do it on it's own
that led to that internal error
theres no zone in the account's saved billing information for province, so I had to go back in the checkout and edit my province in there
and then it worked
yes
that's common for major patches
When 5.3 comes out, how will gear drops for Eden Savage change? Still 2 chest limitations or something different?
i believe the savage limitation will be lifted
It won't right away
So these lv50 marks, how tough are they? Do I need a partner to fight them?
Savage restrictions are lifted in 5.38, about a month before 5.4
how much of a dps gain is crystarium weapon vs augmented crystarium weapon?

How does glamming body pieces that don't allow headwear work? Do they have to be glammed with things that also don't allow headwear or can I use em with whatever but I won't have visible headgear?
You can glamour a body piece but not a headpiece
Thx
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?
Sort of
Ironworks gear is indeed unique
And as such you can only own one of each ring
However, for the unique clause an Ironworks ring and an equivalent Augmented ironworks ring are allowed
Huh.
instead of ilvl 120
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
I saw plus signs on my visible gear, thought that meant it was just them.
- signs just mean they are glamoured
ohh
- signs on your gear means you glammed them
Yeah, the ironwork gear looks great, but I'm not a fan of the looking like the baddies trope. I'm using the altered cobalt armor set.
Just dye it pink
No
@nova umbra Big difference, much more than just 485 vs 490
Im stumped, how do I get promoted to the last two ranks in my gc
You have to work on your gc squadrons
Leveling them up and completing flagged missions will rank you up to captain
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.
Is there a META of some sort when it comes to jobs?
how to get emperor new glove
No there is no meta
All jobs can complete all contebt
Emperors glove can be purchased from one of the vendors in vesper bay
Or from market board
any tips for leveling a second job (not counting potd cuz i hate that stuff)?
currently doing hunting logs, and fates when i come across one
run the highest dungeon of your level
!faq altlvlguide
when does the prepatch notes drop?
Preliminary is usually a few days before the update and complete notes on the day before update
Hey guys, so I bought the game on steam and friend told me that the DLC (expansions) are on sale, on site, do I buy it there nad I can play? or?
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?
too many people online
but the last 4-5 days the character creation is always locked on these servers 😐
it’s advised to try during the morning
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.
when everyone is asleep or just waking up
!faq serverlock
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.
@amber ingot we started watching a movie at 20.00 with a character create at the second screen. Around 12.15ish we could make a character :)
But that was weekend so should be a bit earlier now ?
yo im so confused
hey guys just double checking for my sanity, i have "up in arms" completed, and my zenith equipped, that is all i need to farm atmas right?
I havent gotten a single one yet after like 40 fates, i dont mind if its grindy, just want to make sure if i havent missed anything and im wasting my time

my retainer went from lvl 19 to 16
Another question, wheres the vendor for ironworks trade gear?
you’re locked in on steam
@vocal shell
So I kinda fucked up 😄
Or do I have to craft it m’self?
Mor dhona @wise acorn
@leaden ginkgo if you buy the game on steam you can only buy expansions on steam
How long ago did u buy on steam?
why did my retainer lose 4 levels
Then it didnt lose 4 levels
it came back lower lvl
No it didnt
then it did not
Anyone familar with Ishfgard Restoration place? If so my question is. It shows I can craft cream yellow dye but I don't see it anywhere. says I can also buy it but for crafting it doesn't seem like I have it
That's just incorrect. Because its impossible.
i went on a 1hr venture instead of 18 specifically to finish 20
You're mistaken
Can you screenshot your chat log when it happened and post it here?
Are you sure you don’t have two retainers and are mixed up?
I have never heard of a retainer losing levels
i have 2 but the other one is a lvl 1 gatherer i dont use
what would the retainer lvl up message be under in settings
To choose rogue do I have to make a new character, or use my current char?
you can use your current
Am I able to make a new ?
Technically no
oof
You cant start as Rogue
A new character would have to start with another class before becoming a rogue.
There's not really any reason to have more than one character though.
Since you can be all classes/jobs on one
Playing as a free player atm.
Ideally, start with Marauder, Arcanist, or whatever Limsa job I'm forgetting
.Limited to one character.
And?
You can still have Rogue
That has no bearing on what i'm saying
The name i choose is not what i was looking for.
on the same character as whatever you started as
I made this is a throwaway name.
im so confused bro
Welp, that's on you
Isnt rogue unlocked at 7?
hah
Lvl7
Ah, I understand
i was literally in the market looking at lvl 19 gear before i went on that venture
Rogue requires level 10
@wise acorn 10 if Limsa start, effectively 15 if not
@cobalt narwhal If you really think it lost levels, contact support, because that shouldn't happen except when changing the retainer's class.
I mean, they're just going to tell you that you're wrong
im 100% it lost levels or was just a graphical bug showing it as a lvl it wasnt
Your retainer did not lose levels from its venture. No way.
@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
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.
So they have access to the highest Venture that's below their level
no cause thats at 21 items
because its impossible for a retainer to lose levels other than going to level 1 because you reset it
And as ventures come in multiples of 5 early on
Who's the quickest class to get to level 10?
yes
Archer seemed fairly quick.
@oblique forum if you're rushing Rogue, start as a Marauder or Arcanist
Thanks!
@oblique forum all of them? But if you want to be rogue, start as Marauder or Arcanist.
@cobalt narwhal if you levelled up to 16 you were never level 19 to begin with
you literally cannot lose levels in any way in FFXIV, aside from dying inside the Eureka instances
and even that is a self-contained thing, not your actual level
that isnt a retainer tho
and retainers only delevel from you, personally choosing to reset their class to 1
unless you've screens to prove it frankly we don't believe you, and neither will support
Yeah
lmfao im not asking for compensation for a lvl 19...
but im 100% serious
just dont want it to happen again
Lemme put it this way.
You misunderstood something somewhere, 100%
so i thought id ask why it did
If you can prove that your retainer actually lost levels
We’re telling you, it’s literally impossible to lose levels
I will transfer to Crystal and give you every single gil i have.
so the game is 100% perfect?
I am that certian you are wrong
it literally cannot have happened
no new glitches EVER appear
it is
Is topaz carbuncle a straight upgrade to emerald or more of a sidegrade?
not 100% but 99.99999% perfect
Topaz and Emerald have different uses.
Topaz is the survivability pet, for when you're solo and need shields
balmerick if i could prove it dont u think i would have done that after the first 100 messages calling me a liar
But mostly you're going to be using Emerald.
Emerald is good for AoE damage
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?
I mean, here's the thing. The entire channel is telling you its impossible. Have you not considered the possibility that you're simply mistaken?
if you already have it on a character, no
Topaz used to be an actual tanking pet with taunts and stuff, but that got changed in ShB, unfortunately.
i havent opened yet
that counts as on a character
You still can't mail mogstation items
oh
glitches are impossible alright i understand
also nut we're not calling you a liar, we're saying you're mistaken
you might have misunderstood something somewhere or misread something
So me and the husband are currently level 57 but we just had to spend an entire evening queuing for dungeons yesterday for like barely any exp to get like 2million to get to 57 to be able to do the msq. What are the actual recommended things to do when you need to bridge a large gap like that?
i didnt but ok
you definitely did
@misty acorn What were you queueing exactly?
yeah
@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.
yall are actually pretty ignorant tbh
and then fates and side quests whilst waiting
mistake or not being that dense to the possibility of a glitch
50/60/70 roulette doesn't give a ton of xp because those are meant as "max level" dungeons.
and then after that, you do the highest level dungeon you have access to
alrighty
50/60/70 in particular was bad for you because without the bonus, those dungeons give nearly nothing.
i know its a dumb question but how do you meet people on ffxiv
Nut, you think by now people would have encountered this glitch
yeah we noticed they were pretty bad
@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.
i have no proof
Without proof, it’s very likely it’s just a you problem
why the fuck would i waste my time with support
you're wasting your time here arguing though
Because if what you're saying is true there would be logs of it.
they have logs
thanks for the help @simple shore
np
did they say anything about raising gil limit when the pach comes out for free trial ?
where do u get the emote where u wave your hand like a fan to cool your face?
Heaven on High, it's /sweat
Gil limit will remain.
ah
Ballroom Etiquette - Excessive Petticoats
Costs 10 potsherds
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
Main quest should be your main goal since it unlocks 99% of content in this game
MSQ gates basically everythign in this game
along with class quests
bummer
yeah but im those mmorpg players that have a serious problem if i see a exclamation point on the map for a quest
hahah
You should get over that
it gives me anxiety
yeah sidequests aren't reallly... useful in this game
Sidequests are....a very poor use of your time
if they aren't blue quests
as in: if you don't get over that ASAP you will hate this game

yeah im trying to get over this thing
now im only trying to do main quest and blue ones for my class
Well at the very least
You'll either quickly learn to prioritize
and
or you'll get overwhelmed and perish
get over before you hit 50 and reach mor'dhona
Hello got a problem. I were following ARR Msq and now i am at Good Intentions quest, to accept this it says i need this : https://i.imgur.com/srAs9Eq.png
So i googled a bit and got to point where i should be able to accept this quest : https://i.imgur.com/Ih9wAGS.png
But i cant even if i have this The Bowl of Embers (Hard) unlocked https://i.imgur.com/1PJXjR8.png
Please send help 😛
nah dont worry, i really really love this game as a whole, i can take my sweet time not trying to rush anything
^
ahh
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.
Probably best to just do it though.
well i have no friends yet 😄 but dw will do it
since, ya know, you have to do Titan HM for real at a certain point
thanks for answer
Much more fun to do them synced lol
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?
It's not like they're actually hard anyways 😄
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.
pretty much, if they don't mean the minimum, they're useless
At least for crafters
nah, gathering
for gatherers, depending on the item, it might qualify for aetherial reduction
so reduce and then keep in case i need for crafting i guess (unfortunately it doesnt, ive checked already)
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 ! 😄
the devs know it's a little much at least, there's an overhaul coming on august 11th
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
is there a pre done (what to meld) for the best Market board DoH gear? (no over meld if its even possible)
Wouldn't recommend melding DoH gear at the moment
new gear is coming out in a week
new sellable MB gear or do u have to get them with scripts
Craftable and sellable
The new Facet gear
haha rip just bought full set now lol
How can i check my progress on "Bio-Doma V" achievement?
Looking through achievements right now but no idea where its located
But it doesn’t exactly show progress.
Not even remotely close
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...
Rogue River in Middle La Noscea also has Princess Trout. It’s right outside the exit from Limsa.
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
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.
Ah okay no prob thanks
Oh
Scaevan gear if you haven't already
The 1st quest already gave me a better katana
And if you bought scaeven gear you're still set
From rhalgars
Scaevan Katana?
If you had augmented scaeven, the first quest did not give you a better weapon
if so the first katana you get through ShB MSQ shouldn't be better
That i can assure you of
The first one you get through MSQ is 385 isn't it?
Only 100 poetics for it to be better than anything until level 75
Ye 385
but Scaevan is 390
and yeah 385. so it should still be worse than normal scaeven
Iirc my katana is 370?
That's not scaeven then
did you buy the ryumyaku one, lol
Guess i didnt buy yet
is there any translation of urianger dialogues
Im using lv70 sam katana
"translation"? Its not in a different language
I wish
i got a question
He just talks weird.
how do u know how many overmelds u can do on a gear piece ?
do i buy this for pc?
He uses a ton of hard words and it's annoying as a non-native speaker lol
if you want to play on PC you need to buy base game + expansions again
complete edition works
just shadowbringers wouldn't work
me reading that convo thinking I joined shb at 80 with everything ilv480
also Collector's =/= Complete
I fucked up lmao
@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
Yeah that would give you everything you need
alright ty
and another 30 free days since you're registering a new platform
whew alright thanks
but it doesn't overwrite them
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?
Do the quest line that starts.with "word about korma" in tomra at 80 @arctic holly
Tanks are the only jobs that have associated mounts at present. Which are acquired by simply using tanks in current content.
Where can I cook fish
Can raids be done multiple times?
Yes
Conjurer also has a unicorn from a sidequest at level 30
Occasionally
@faint flare why occasionally
Because fish aren't used that much
I heard that the copied factory was a company sumthin raid so is joining the raid only doable in a company?
No
Alliance Raid
Its a 24man raids
Which literally just means 24 players
Like crystal tower
it's what they're named
Ah crap so basically the queue times are going to be insane then
no
Depends on the class
Not really
People are gonna be running it for coins
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.

Which raids are you talking about is the question, mostly
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.
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
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?
Binding Coil is one I never got to do.
rhalgr's reach for lvl 70
Wait until you're level 80, grab a level 80 friend and you'll be able to do all of them together
without help
anima weapons arent worth it
or get 2 lv80's to carry you
outside of glamour purposes
@nova umbra anything with large aoe radius attacks are fun in dungeons. SAM, MNK, and any of the physical ranged DPS come to mind
It's not required for progression, then? You don't need to do it to access any later stuff?
no
oh good thanks now i can continue msq until i unlock rhalgar
raids are never required except crystal tower
Binding Coil are old endgame raids, the story for them is important but it's not necessary
Cause I'm still dragging my character through the 2.x patches right now.
@silk burrow you can't buy poetics gear from rhalgr's until you finish stormblood
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.
@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
then for lvl 80 its eulmore
I guess I could just watch it on Youtube though if I need the story to make sense.
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.
can you do eureka with a level 60 character after unlocking it?
no
Ooooh OK. I'll try it.
well yes but you'll die
Its 100 poetics for first clear on each wing - and there's 12 that give that bonus.
It'll let you switch to that lower level job but it won't sync you up
;-;
Nice thanks for the tip. I'm going to grind msq until i reach those places
always thought it was a good way to level level 60s
@remote lintel 
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.
HW was already out when I quit.
might have played during HW
thats 3.0
I just didn't get to it because the 2.x patches are long-winded.
he quit on 2.X during HW days
oh
@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 😦
is the 1 million gil at level 30 still a thing?
no
Making a raid alt and was wondering if I should skip to shb straight or play til 30 then skip
