for the aetherytes do u just have to manually see if u've connected to them
ah cool
you can hover your mouse over them on the map and it should tell you if you attuned to them
it'll say something like "Unattuned" if you haven't
oh yeah, I'm nearly level 60, someone mentioned to me that I should be watching out for the level 60 gear
ohh so how do u get it to show if u've attuned
I've done it by clicking on the big aetheryte in town and seeing which are available
it should be the same thing, but if not then ^
interacting with any aetheryte in a town shows the ones you have attuned to
and say is like right next to u?
Say is a smaller radius
so at 60 I get a new gear set like Ironworks right? what currency do I need to buy it?
ty makes sense
Poetics is the universal Tomestone currency for previous expansion stuff
ty, bookmarked that page
so when I hit 60 I should just spend all the poetics I have on that shire set eh
What’s a good way for me to make about 200k quickly? I assume that’s enough to hit 20 on all my crafters
After that I can just do diadem
run Zonureskin Treasure maps (level 80) with others and get lucky on the loot.
Is it hard? I’m like a total noob as far as pve content goes in this game
I’m 80 dragoon
extremely easy, you just need a group for it
Sounds good to me. Are all maps 80?
extreme bare minimum is 1 tank, 1 healer, and 1 dps
The hard part is finding 8 ppl 4 me ;-;
I found one recently while mining
only Gliderskin and Zonureskin
the map will tell you the recommended level
You don't need 8 people for treasure maps
Do you need a group to do the lower level maps
yes and no
yes due to the treasure map dungeons always syncing you down to their level
only the Dragonskin/Gazelleskin/Zonureskin maps can sometimes drop dungeons
but they all involve a treasure coffer you find in the overworld which spawns monsters to beat up
with the aforementioned maps sometimes spawning an entrance to the treasure dungeons upon opening the chest
@obsidian patio sorry to bug ya, so when I hit 60 I should just spend all the poetics I have on that shire set?
definitely the weapon at the bare minimum to make going through the story faster
ah ok, I'm at 1400 now and level 59, so if tomorrow I do my dailies I should have enough for a good chunk of the set
and then maybe I'll save my next big purchase for the 70 gear
i just used a fantasia and went to the character select screen...what do i do now?
thanks for the help!
@fervent silo right-click your name and it should have an option named something like "re-edit appearance"

ahh i think i need side quests early
the next main story is lv 4
and i cant reach that yet
What does interject do, i mean bosses do skills and always when i try to use interject it says "interject has no effect"
Stuns do just fine
Wait, i thought atuns where for that
So stuns is for everything and interject for the glowy bars only ?
Oh, ive been forcing myself to time a stun ability at the glowy bar
But ill just hotswap interject in there
What do you use stuns for then
trash mainly
how do I socket materia into a weapon or armor?
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
ty
can I pay an NPC to meld it for me?
ah nvm I think I need to do the quest regardless
whats shop selling price? how much u can buy it for?
how do you get those repair stones?
dark materia or whatever its called
i have like a ton of tier 1s, but cant use them since all my gear is lvl 40+
vendors
also yes shop selling price is exactly that, how much you can buy it for from vendors
i accidentally detached my chat log that i made, how do i re-attach it?
oh my god nvm
ty @forest laurel
i kept dragging it on the wrong corner, my brain. Sorry for the trouble orz
so should u just sell stuff to vendors that u dont use
or just hoard stuff
like this "marmot meat" etc
try selling it in market first.
I wanted to lvl crafters from 70 on Ishagard Restoration, but i need skybuilders' materials that are not from the diadem. They're not on my gathering log, and when i get to the place where im supposed to harvest stuff, there are no nodes. What am i missing?
don't you need a retainer for markets?
@junior tide those are old materials that were purposefully removed.
you need to look at the phase 2 recipes for the current stuff
Why is that thing still in the crafting log =_=
and yes you do need a retainer to sell items on the marketboard.
for people who still have the old materials
Why does it keep saying “x number of parties meet your search criteria “ when I’m not searching or queuing for anything?
is there a button press/hold to compare a quest reward item with what i'm currently wearing?
that's just a natural message from party finder, you can toggle it off in party finder
@low sun you should be able to right-click and choose "compare items" from the quest interface when picking a reward
ahh ty
Hello, i cant find the lvl 52 paladin quest
On the wiki it says from papashan at central thanalan, but i am at the coordinates where it says on the wiki but theres no quest there
central thanlan, X23, Y:27
did you do both of the lvl 50 ones
if there's nothing there go to Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (X:10, Y:11)
there's one that's like end of ARR and one that's start of HW but they're both lvl 50
Jenlyns for HW start quest
it also requires you reaching HW msq/getting access to ishgard fwiw
Ah
That might be the thing then
Im at the black wolfs ultimatum in msq
Thats kinda sucky, im gonna be missing skills
not really, since you're gonna be synced down in lvl 50 content anyways
Fair enough
Can anyone help me on duty The Binding Coil of Bahamut- Turn 1 until 5?
We need 1 tank, 2 healer and 3 Dps.
I visit my friend server Midgardsormr.
I can't use Mic because I am deaf.
coil as a whole has a very dead queue since it's basically savage content and not in any duty roulette
If you want to complete it I recommend using party finder to find others and to use the Undersize option in the duty finder settings.
So I am trying to get an FC house to start actually promoting my FC.
So once I knew there was a new crafter set
I got 600 VII crafter materias that I hope I will be selling for 15k next patch
But I dont think that that will be enough gil for a house
It will be thro player trading
Which means, not anything less than 15 mil
So any tips or suggestions for saving up gil?
patience. time. maps
In big numbers
I currently have in the FC chest
Hold on
600k
And hopefully the materia can get me around 8.5 mil
So how can I save up more gil?
i stand by my previous comment tbh
it's usually at least 300k profit for literally zero effort whatsoever
I only have access for lvl 70 maps
thaaat's unfortunate
Just finished 4.0 yesterday
gazelleskin gives alot tbh
Which level is gazelleskin?
have you considered just leveling some more? making gil while not having access to current things can be a bit of a kneecapper
70
70 full party
I am lvl 80
I have mentor
Its just that
I dont like to do MSQ fast
I do it slow and enjoy the story
yea but most of the good gil making methods are endgame
something to consider perhaps
What other methods for example?
Best way I know of is market
Which I am already doing
are there any achievements tied to the special boss fates like odin?
Yes
no one would tell their way of making money, outright
unless its really common
you'd just get the same answers
Thats why I am not asking on how to make gil
I am asking on how to save up and not fk up
I don't see the achivement :x
I mean, isnt that basic sense though?
Dont spend on stupid stuff
You can passively make piles of gil in this game just by playing normally and not buying stuff
but you're also buying (insert random dye / glamour / consumable / whatever) crap here
I just dont know what to do with it
just use pick clean on a node, bam that's like 10-15k
weren't you asking how to save up? ._.

I'm at 3M just from selling the stuff I get from quests + quest rewards - it's about half and half. And I just finished Stormblood.
Seriously though. "Saving up" literally comes down to "dont spend".
so im returning after quite some time. Im kind of curious what might be a good idea to get back into the motions The last thing I remember, story wise, was Im on 3.x as well
Hello everyone!
Perhaps start a job at lvl 1?
that wouldnt be bad. MY SMN is 62 so maybe doing some early game stuff again might help get back into things
Yeah - they all play a bit different anyway. From the 5 or 6 I've tried.
besides crafting gear, what else is coming out in 5.3 that'll be craftable?
I do want to try out dancer, but Im sure I have to get a quest similar to Sam and such
I don't like playing tank as I don't like being responsible for pulls and knowing all the dungeons.
is there any point in upgrading crafting gear if I can already craft everything right now in 5.2?
Gathering gear is coming too i think
Well Dancer starts at lvl 60.
Arguably, tanking in dungeons is probably the least important job
Since most if not all dungeons tend towards 'glorified straight line' anyway
I know - I just see people who are good at it and know how many groups to pull,etc. I get lost easy as well 🙂
I'd get lost in a cardboard box.
tanking is the most important job. Because the duration of the dungeon is doubled if they single pull XD
a good general rule of thumb is 'all of it'
Anything post ARR its going to be "until a wall stops you" except for a few circumstances
a semi-competent healer and tank should be able to pull pretty much everything until you hit a wall
Maybe in later lvls, but early on the healer doesn't have enough power to keep the tank alive.
Like, probably dont wall to wall the first section of Bardam's. That can get super sketchy.
yeah, bardams' is just dear god
But beyond rare exceptions like that
as tank you're just going until the game doesnt let you go further in post-ARR dungeons
Makes sense. I main SCH and spend more time dmging than healing in 4 mans.
ARR you definitely need to know what to pull though.
ARR can be a case of 'there won't be a wall'
Like Stone Vigil you pull the first two packs + the first Aevis. Then you pull the entire next big room and 3 Aevis patrols. Then you pull the two packs of dragonflies to the first boss. 3 pulls total, but no walls stopping you.
also due to stone vigil being just an unpleasant as hell bracket
Yeah
cries in physick
Hi also don’t big pull in Qarn please and thank you
dps just need to focus bees
you can do whatever tf else you want in qarn, within reason
See I don’t trust my DPS
This morning I've downloaded FF XIV Online on Ps4, but I read that it's a Free Trial. Theere's a "Complete" version? How much does it cost?
If you hit bees, dont advance to another pack
because final sting is on a timer
So that time you spend dragging it is reducing the time before usable
Also Aurum Vale. Don’t big pull the first room in AV with a pug healer thanks
Maybe I'll try tanking one day. I started as dark knight and wasn't my fav.
Aurum Vale is pretty much just duck in the left side quickly, kill the three mushrooms, then drag 4-6 mobs into the boss room. Avoid all frogs.
Also - little trick with that - the frogs will reset if dragged far enough.
Hi hi, in your opinion, is Iconoclasm savage harder than Furor Savage?
worth using 3% exp food early on or save them?
This morning I've downloaded FF XIV Online on Ps4, but I read that it's a Free Trial. Theere's a "Complete" version? How much does it cost?
@languid flint The Free trial edition currently caps your level at 35 and thus your progress to level 35 content, as well as limitations on social interactions like the ability to use /tell and join a Free Company or a Party.
@remote roost you should use 3% exp food at any time you're killing mobs.
beacuse its cheap
always use food for the xp bonus
you can buy boiled eggs for ~5 gil each
alright ty, got some from quests
In approximately a week, that level cap increases to 60 but the other locks remain in place
food for stats is only used for endgame content
does it give bonus exp for quests too or just mobs killing
just mobs
Yeah just enemy kills
thanks
But vendor food is so cheap if you just buy boiled eggs / raisins
that there's no reason to not have that bonus at all times
@halcyon glen Oh, I see. So basically, considering my healer role, I'm pretty much useless xD
tyyy
@languid flint nah, you’re good.
better safe than sorry
Hi hi, in your opinion, is Iconoclasm savage harder than Furor Savage?
There’s two versions of the game you can buy - the starter and complete editions. As of next week, the former will simply remove the social restrictions but still be limited to level 60 content
Which admittedly is like 300 hours of content don’t get me wrong
from what I've heard it's easier
@halcyon glen Seriously??? So I got very lucky, starting to playing today XD
The Complete edition includes the last two expansions - Stormblood and Shadowbringers - and is currently on sale for 50% off when purchased directly through SQEX at least
Is stormblood lvl 60 to lvl 70 or is it 70 plus?
60 to 70
Must be getting close to shadowbringers then...
do people usually overmeld with VII, or do they cheap out and go with the older materia
does it matter which "market" my retainer is in?
are market separated by location on worlds? didn't know that
look for E'bolaff @kind eagle
at
hey, sorry if this gets asked alot, but would anyone mind helping me figure out what materia i should be using as a paladin trying to get into raids? i have not really used them before since ive never been up to current end game content
E'bolaff should be near the other people at rhalgrs reach
where you get standard scavean armor
aight
what the hell
ah, thats overly comlicated for redmage honestly
That's bullshit stop using it
guess i'll just mash buttons and try to balance white/black
No get a better guide
this is uh, from stormblood
check the balance discord for lvl 80 rdm stuff, pretty easy to understand
To quote the sage L’arri Zaur
it's basically
jolt
v
aero/thunder
v
jolt/stone/fire
v
aero/thunder
v
jolt/stone/fire
repeat forever
“You go white then black and then white then black and then go white and black and corps-a-corps forward melee stabbing noises AND THEN YOU VERFLARE”
TL;DR RDM -
Jolt -> Whichever Mana Is Lower
If you get a proc, use the proc (Verfire/Verstone) instead of Jolt.
Use oGCD's (Fleche/Contra) on cooldown, after the dualcast spell (i.e. after Verthunder/Veraero)
At 80/80 or higher, melee combo. End with Flare if black is lower, Holy if white is lower. scorch after if you have it unlocked.
There's more to it but that's litearlly 90% of what you need to know for single target.
should be one of the vendors next to the gear upgrade one in rhalgr's @kind eagle
I got the basics explained as such
Not in a dungeon lmao
is corps a corps the melee attack?
omega part exchange?
if you have a countdown and a reason to wait/optimize sure
The pic says single target
Corps a corps is your dash in
The picture is bullshit and should be deleted.
omega part exchange to get stuff for augmented scaeven?
Hence why i typed up a TL;DR on actually doing it
no
You have 3 “short” cast spells and 2 “long” cast for ST
@kind eagle from enna
Correct but still it is a fact on single target to aero/thunder
goto enna and press the "other" option
there you should buy the stuff to augment it
Opener anyway
ok
to augmented scaeven
at the same person you buy scaevan from, go to the "other" option
buy scaevan esher, twine, and shellac as the upgrade items
then go to the rightmost person to upgrade them
Generally speaking, you want to cast your short spells manually
You cannot use an Aero/Thunder opener in random dungeons dude
Tanks dont just stand around waiting
doing so gains a Dualcast proc
i dont have samurai blade
I also said countdown provided if you noted.
Meaning your next spell is instant
been using the other katana
Use this on the longer spells
Literally nobody countdowns in anything but savage+
And its not impossible, nor a feat you shouldnt actively try to do
then you have to buy the samurai blade from eschina
i mean bal what i do is run ahead like fck, go for it, and if they aren't there in time more fool them

Hah, sure, but you know what im getting at
yeah I read you
A good tank is gonna have that boss pulled before you have a chance to start a cast
yuuup
if someone's asking for basics of RDM you don't really bother with "optimally you lead with a hardcast veraero/verthunder"
Sure let me teleport ahead. Maybe use the trick bots use.
Several people here disagree with you, I would let it go
balance mana, press melee buttons
^
rdm's so simple I don't think it's objectionable to discuss in greater detail sooner
than say, summoner
Don’t hardcast Verthunder outside of the opener
SMN requires galaxybrain to explain, let alone understand
🤷♂️ get in the habit and improve your gameplay as you go, worth noting regardless, not worth arguing
oh also for reference, here's a nice clean image that's up to date for new RDM players:
!faq 50rdm
frankly if you're casting anything over 2sec long on red mage that isn't a prepull, you're doing it wrong
don't be like the hard verraise RDM I saw in orbonne
when i came back to the game i may or may not have hard casted scatter a few times not realizing it had changed
Bard: If my song would time out outside of a weaving window, should I "cut it off" in the last weaving window before it times out, or wait for it to time out and use next song in the next window?
(I have high ping so my weaving windows are kinda short.)
I am not good enough at Bard to answer that question.
came back after a long time of not playing, what do i use poetics on? anything to buy that's worth making gil? or just armor for low levels?
dejan you know you can just respawn to your home aetheryte right
what do I have to press on console?
!faq poetics
weird the respawn prompt shouldve appeared right after u died
idk console controls tho so uh
gotta wait for an answer
okay
another question. where is my fairy summon button for pvp? i went to do frontlines as a scholar but i have no fairy summon option, so my fairy gauge was just constantly stuck at 100. checked all my skills and didn't see it.
Can someone explain why people "sell feet pics 1mil per" on the PF lmfao. Isn't that against ToS I can't tell if their serious
Is there a dab emote ?
@thin kestrel there is no fairy in pvp. you use gauge on dissipation (pvp action). Pvp skills and pve skills are not the same. Make sure you're looking at the pvp action in your pvp profile
@noble ember technically, yes. can report them via the support desk > contact us menu
buy the items from Enna
@twilit arch oh, last time i played, sch had fairy in pvp which increased your healing. weird that they removed it. thanks.
Oh u dont have to farm for it?
how does the desynth skill rating work?
no you can buy the mats from the NPC for poetics if you have them
its around 500~ poetics/weapon iirc
Desynth skill goes up as you desynth stuff around the level it's at, or higher (level 300 desynth wants iLv300 items or higher). If you meet the minimum Desynth level for an item, that means you're more likely to get rare materials from it (if there's one), but you can still desynth if you're at a lower level, or get a rare item at a lower level, it's just not as likely
How many of these items can you driver per day to get the EXP?
Unlimited
no limit
Until they change for the day
Oh, cool! Thanks!
Is there a reason to not use the function to turn other people's skill effects off for clarity ?
Leave it on Limited so you can still see the bubbles you want to stand in
cause they heal you
^
Or other people's ground aoes so you can move mobs into them as a tank
or they're friendly damage over time on the ground and you should keep mobs in it
If you turn them off and then don’t stand in my Asylum I will be sad
Alright
Just got my first chocobo, are all mounts the same movement speed?
Yes
I know a healer who likes to keep full effects on because then they can see what their cohealer is doing better
Because im doing castrum and i cant see shot 50% of the timd
The mogstation bike starts with 1 star speed, which you usually unlock just doing by the story. But other than that, all mounts share the same speed
Big mounts might feel slower but it's because they're big
It’s ugly and grey and everyone is sprinting the entire time
How do i get up there?
got a handy pic
Wow ty!
Welcome to the Lochs, arguably the worst Aether current hunt
that current sucks
Ive tried so many routs but that one lol
Honestly? Ask your FC or NN to ferry you there.
There's another hellish aether current in Ahm Araeng, ShB zone
no, you need the relic weapon on when you kill the boss of the dungeon
What are ventures in currency?
It seems to be an arr relic related thing so probably has to be completed with your relic class, equip relic weapon before final boss to play it safe
Ventures are what you pay your retainers
@weak lance ventures are used to pay retainers
Ventures are used to send retainers out to get stuff
whats a retainer?
Private npcs that act as your bank
If you want to spam quick ventures on two retainers, I suggest keeping around 250 in bank at all times
I guess trial player dont have access to those?
Pretty sure you can
No you don’t
Nevermind
That’s one of the trial limits

Retainers could be used to circumvent the Gil cap
And their function of selling stuff on the market board is useless because trial players also can’t access the market board
Can I 76-80 weaver in a single day, around 2-3 hours of playtime? I havent done any of the facet quests.
Also I've got a 80 FSH already and I'm pretty sure I've got my collectibles done with custom delivery and Ishgard. When I hit WVR 80, do I automatically get my crown and NN access or do I have to pick them up somewhere?
hmm if you haven't done facet, it should get you pretty close to 80
Like that’s one of the biggest restrictions now imo because going through all of HW with no retainer inventory
Is gonna be rough
and you have to talk to the smith to get mentor
Thanks!
I have a little Question, my account got temporarily deactivated a ~half a year ago, and i'm wondering where i can reactivate it since i just can't find a Option to do so 
According to the support Page there is supposed to be a Link in the Mogry Station but either i'm blind or there is simply none that does it :[
Go to a training dummy and wack on it for a couple minutes
What does it mean when my gear gets spiritbonded
Is there nothing that can nerf my level!
Low level PotD or low level dungeons (synced)
@weak lance it means you can extract materia from it
Is anyone having issues being logged out of final fantasy??
Logged out as in sent to the title screen?
yes
Like just logs me out then when I go to log back in I can't cause the game tells me it has to log me out so i have to wait
is there a minimum gear level to queue for alliance roulette?
it doesn't let me queue and I have 171 I think it's the reason?
I think it's like, 90? Since that's the ilevel required for CT?
mm..
If you unlocked at least 2 CT raids, then 171 is more than enough. Not sure about HW and up though
Have you unlocked more than one Alliance raid?
Hmm. The interface will usually tell you the reason you can't queue up for something. Like "insufficient item level" or "you must be a Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic" or "insufficient level".
ye I know but this time it wasn't telling me cause I think I was not the party leader so it was not me queuing directly
I switched job and queued as sam but still, weird
Was the party leader queueing for roulette, or for a specific raid?
roulette
Maybe someone in the party didn't have CT
Was it just you and the party leader in the group, or were there multiple other people?
me and her only
What jobs were you on when it said you couldn't queue? Both you and the leader?
After you switched to SAM what raid did it give you?
@weak crater sounds like connection issues
I was pld and they were also pld
Your character is probably just standing there with a disconnect symbol while you’re logged out
And since you were grouped together, you would have both been in the same Alliance
ahh i didn't know.. so in each 8 men party there is only 1 tank?
Yes. 1 tank, 2 healers, 5 dps
For Alliance raids, at least
Normal raids and Trials, are 2/2/4 comp rather than 1/2/5
It's done to avoid having to make mechanics for 6 tanks at the same time
didn't know ty!
I wanna get into savage raiding. Should I start with E1-4S or does nobody do them anymore? I don't think I've ever seen a pf for it since 5-8 came out.
No one does those anymore, it’s best to start with the relevant tier
You can make your own learning parties for E1S-E4S if you want, but you're best off just jumping right into E5S
Labyrinth of the Ancients used to be 2/2/4 but was changed for alliance roulette to conform group wise and since there's nothing that requires tank swap/one on big thing, side tank on adds anymore
Aww, the healer top dyeable looked so good
The main reason people do e1-e4s at this point is gearing up for TEA
For Dragoons, do you want Fending or Slaying accessories?
Slaying is all STR DPS I think
The game limits you to slaying accessories only at some point anyways
I hate this map with a passion but to never see it again I just have to do this quest, any ideas on how to get there?
Fly
oof
No, there's a path around
well that's not happening, this dungeon isn't getting unlocked then
after start of stormblood is when accessories are job locked
Also
Is there a chance SE will "open up" outdated gear? For example doh/l only gear to all classes, or do away with gender restrictions on say, the boulevardier set.
You definitely have to fly
Which dungeon are you trying to unlock?
Neverreap dungeon isn't that important right?
Oh, Neverreap
its neverreap
Side dungeon
depends on the alignment of the planets (only recent example was removing gender lock from wedding dress and the bunny attire from gold saucer)
Yeah, that one requires flying
Back in the day we called it alwaysreap because it felt like we always got it for expert roulette
😔
I recommend unlocking flying anyways. You'll need it if you want to get into crafting/gathering.
For example you need flying for one of the fishing quests in this very region.
all crafters are already lv70
It’s always good to try and unlock flying while you’re doing msq
Ye but this region can go and implode on itself
It's better with flying 🙂
Guy's i have done summoner msq till lvl 45 (lvl 57) and it says i can summon garuda eggi and titan egi but how do i ?
There is no skill option in action and trait
Summon 1 and Summon 2
the carbuncle summons got upgraded
They summon those pikacu like creatures
They got upgraded
Not anymore
Have you even tried them since you did the quests?
And if they still do then I suggest you don't have your job stone equipped
^
Yeah make sure you have the Summoner job stone equipped
Yes they are still normal although i can see gaurda attack options in pet section
double check you have summoner job stone equipped
Screenshot your character and actions sheet
It is
I doubt there's any way in hell you've accidentally unlocked and applied egiglamour
So
Ok
so like.. is this a bot or do people actually no life farm these
I mean. Both, probably Zydico
But yeah wolf just screenshot your character screen and actions list
There'll be something not right
like, you can use that skill to get like 100 crystals in one node, but that's every 3 minutes
Yeah doing now just wait few min
how the heck do people farm thousands and thousands
time
botting.
Eureka?
Legit botting for the most part.
Or Diadem, rather
SE doesn't care about the gather bots lol
Square doesn’t care about players botting unfortunately
Sounds like standard dead time experience

but they seem to ban a ton of bots though, at least from like those reports of "we banned 3000 players this week" or something
or all those gold seller bots in chat
@whole lagoon That's not what we were asking for. We need to see your character sheet. With your gear and stuff.
oh sorry
We're trying to verify that you've got everything equipped that you're supposed to 🙂
if you're on windows 10, you can use window key + shift + s to get a selective section screenshot instead of having to take a picture with your phone
unless you don't have discord on your pc which is why you're doing that
And last one, can you use "Summon 1" and show us what it summons?
it summons the normal blue pikacu
lmao pikachu
cmon, I think it's cute xD
Have you done your class quests Wolf?
yeah till 45
50 gives you good gear
Screenshot your traits
i am 57
How do i complete mining leves? Theres a green space on the map but nothing to mine there
they've already got better gear than the 50 quest
Open quest journal and click "Initiate" while standing in green circle
Do the next summoner quest, it unlocks garuda egi
man i have just done that but let me reassgin all the traits again maybe
Ohhhh thanks
Also if you complete the 50 summoner quest, you can do a quest so your egi will look like pikachus once more!
traits not skills, and are you sure you did the summoner class quests and NOT the main story quest until 45?
he's not done the lv45 job quest that changes emerald into garuda
man i am at heavnsward
No other summoner quest has "Wind" in the name, and if it's still on the MSQ tracker, it's not complete
i know class quest are with plus sign
he's not done the second one, so go do it
Make sure you're always up to date on class quests Wolf, you get a large portion of your abilities from class quests, especially in Heavensward and Stormblood.
until you do it, emerald is going to be a carbuncle
you have to do the appropriate job quest to change summon 1/2 into the egis
ok let me reconfirm again maybe i made some sort of mistake
And then a sidequest in the arcanist's guild to make them pikachus once more.
You get the traits that summon Garuda from doing the job quests. If you’re summoning carbuncles, you haven’t done the quest
Do you get something special from completing sightseeing logs? Titles? Minions? Mounts?
there's a minion for completing ARR's log
and you can buy paintings for house/apartment
HW and SB ones give you a title each iirc
Huh
was there none for the first phase? Will this be unavailable next patch?
Can't imagine i'd want to save it just for raises
expert crafts weren't a thing in first phase, no
and doubt it will be unavailable with 5.31
you can swiftcast the longer spells like veraero/verthunder etc and then dualcast another one immediately after
it's a pretty decent boost in damage
Ah I see that's actually a far better use
And yea dualcast is why I wouldn't think of using raise with swift
all the tank abilities stack right? rampart etc
I don't know which ones do and don't but the mitigation ones usually do
aight
They do but you want to be sure to spread out your mitigation
Instead of popping a bunch of things t once
I just reached level 50, which expansion should I buy now ?
All expansions come in 1
Shadowbringers is the only one you can buy. It includes all of them.
oh great thanks guys 🙂
Instead of popping a bunch of things t once
okay!
ohh well, ill get the expansion from steam then, but its way more expansive then standalone
Guys you were right i haven't completed the Garuda quest that's why i couldn't summon Garuda
Remember to do your class quest~
How do I get to 600 GP?
mgp?
Gathering points? Accessories, mostly.
I would keep with my current gear until 70 and then buy Landking gear. (Not like, the class specific versions, but Landking.)
What should i get first in ironworks, armor or accesories since i get i90 from questing for armor
What accessories should I get to get to 600 GP? I’m miner/botanist lvl55
Go to marketboard and see what's available for your level, but they might be expensive. Otherwise the next closest is level 45-50 accessories from vendors
weapon first, if you didn't get that already. buy 1x Encrypted Tomestone and 10x(7x in pld) Rowena's Tokens (Poetics) from Auriana and trade them to Aelina @limpid lantern
Yes i got the weapon and the shield since my shield was shit too
I have around ilvl 30-40 accesories j geuss thats more of a priority to replace than my i90 armor right ?
then i would prioritize the armour since they give bigger boost and the main scenario quest will give you accessories
I login to my account for my free trial. How do i activate it?
I check on the website to see you need the same registration cose as if u bought the whole thing
well use a code
Where can I get level 50 gatherer gear for my retainers? I tried trading for scrips but the lowest gear there is 58...
Does anyone have any advice on how to level efficiently? I started with my friends a few days ago, but they have all significantly out levelled me and I've been kinda left behind. I'm doing hunting logs and MSQ, and am currently lvl 39
ok i got the expansion from steam, but my account still seems to be not having the exapansion
and haven't received a code like the original version.
there should be an option for cd key in the steam library
@left cedar Raptorskin gear (48) from vendors. At 51 you can upgrade them to Archeoskin gear from Ishgard.
@left cedar you can get the forager hat and main hand from grand company seals
once you hit 51 with them just by the archaeoskin set like aril'thae mentioned
Okay, thanks guys! :)
@twilit arch thank you soo much, got it figured
@lavish vortex For collectibles, 400 is enough if you've got the patience or cordials to replenish between nodes. Use the "doesn't increase wear" ability, spam the "has a chance to trigger the +collectability buff" ability until 25% on the node, then use "doesn't use gathering attempt" buff, and a final "increase by 0.8-1.5" ability
Idk the actual skill names
If you've got good enough perception, you may even get away with just using the "+50% collectability" skill in the beginning and no other GP-comsuming abilities
would it be petty of me to ask for commendations at the end of a dungeon to get 1500 commendations for mentor? I just want to unlock the roulette :c
If you're social and help people, you're guaranteed at least one comm. It's infinitely easier if you're playing healer tho
Healer brings the big comms
Don't ask. Play healer.
yes, I have around 800 from playing healer
but I just see so many people just leaving right after a dungeon finishes probably without commending anyone
Don't ask, just be your best as a healer. Doing well in 8-man content (especially Eden 5-8) at the beginning of the week can also net you lots of comms.
so usually, is it healer > tank > dps?
in terms of commendations
or are tank and healer equal?
probably more healer coms than tank coms
Eh, I only comm tank if either they did a really really nice job tanking, or I'm healer and they weren't idiots and I have no cohealer
On Primal, playing both tank and healer, I get more as healer

Personally, I will typically comm whoever impressed me the most for my first 5 comms of the week, then after that I'll only comm someone if I felt they went above and beyond my expectations. Usually that means my co-healer in 80 content, or a tank that has a good rhythm of pulling and didn't require me to burn all of my MP and ogcds keeping them alive.
can i have more than 2 retainers?
Yes, but you have to pay real money for them
Monthly
+$2/mo per additional retainer.
You can also get a third free retainer if you add the mobile app
I make sure to always comm someone, even if it's random, unless everyone has actively been an asshole
Wait what Aura? OwO
@open coral that's if you subscribe to the premium version of the app which is more expensive than just getting a third retainer on mogstation
oh wait i have the mobile app
Really don't recommend
Oh, yeah. Premium.
Ah
Getting the app just gives you...the free teleport location? (That or it was just an extra favoured teleport location)
And the emote
I make sure to always comm someone, even if it's random, unless everyone has actively been an asshole
i also do
like the rare times i forget i feel so bad
Oooh! So that's why I got the extra favoured destination! I was wondering if it was a bug or I got it with my free one that I got from OTP
Does anyone know how to get the whm Ingrimm weapon? I’ve searched online on how to start the quest and I can’t find any of the quests in game
Have you completed all the lv70 24-man raids
All the quests related to that
They're a requirement for the lv80 relics
Hmm not too sure yano I’m just logging onto the game I’ll check
I tried yesterday and got so confused xD
Lv80 relics questline is basically a continuation of the lv70 alliance raids story so that's why
Ohh okay gotcha!
Yeah, as Fissie said, you'll need to complete all three of the level 70 Alliance raids, then do the
"Save the Queen" in the Kugane market.
I only have The Royal City of Rabanastre
Yeah, so you'll need to do the other two
Can I still mine in the firmament?
In Diadem, yeah
Gonna sound dumb but where do I unlock the other 2?
Same questline
Kugane, speak to the airship attendant.
Go to the airship landing and talk to yeah to get to the Prima Vista
And go from there
Fab thanks guys ^^
Make sure you're not still on the quest that requires you to actually complete Rabanastre. If you are, the next quest won't appear.
Don't think so but I haven't tried honestly
maybe i should carry some other friends
cause the arr ones are easy but tsuyu doesnt seem so lol
yeah I assume mechanics will murder you if you even manage to get past add phase
But I've done Nidhogg EX as a duo which is a whole expansion behind and that one was annoying enough.
^
ahh oki
Better to just get a party, your farming will be more efficient
is the drop rate of the nidhogg thing low? cause now that i think of it today i just spent 300k for it
to craft the katana
As far as things go 300k is cheap?
Not that low but it's not easy to farm either
How can i get to the diadem mining map
And people would rather pay than farm it
gotcha
i farmed it ❤️
considering me it's bad, i'll bring 4
Make sure you've got at least one tank and one healer.
Tsukoyomi is an awful unsynced 8-man
i might try later when i get on.
Talk to Aurvael who should be to the left as you come into the firmament @opal bough
Still has two unique mechanics you can die to
Meteors can and will murder you
if you mess up meteor drops, wipe
My FC did dog farms and wiped to the meteor drops a TON of times, even with 6 or 7 people.
We also wiped a few times doing Tsu Ex too
I'm at 26 totems on the thing
My FC all got the Lunar Kamuy
can't really see that from there lol
It's the prettiest of the doggos, imo
it's similar to tomestones kamuy?
It's all black and yellow with purple "fire"
The one from the moogle event this round is Susano's Kamuy
So same model, different color scheme
cause that kamuy is my fav mount
Lunar Kamuy best doggo ❤️
I like Suzaku's the best
who's suzaku?
i need to farm suzaku
I don't have Suzaku or Seiryu's yet.
A trial you unlock through a sidequest
my fav normal mode trial
At lv70
Hi, I wanted to buy the latest expansion with the sale going on, but I was wondering, if I could buy the "FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION - COLLECTOR'S EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]" because I wanted all the previous collectors edition upgrades.
@tidal yarrow If you have the Hell's Lid quest, just continue that one and you'll unlock more trials.
Yes, that would give you the full game plus all the collector's edition extras in game.
I have all the expansions, except shadowbringers on pc and pd4
So what you're gonna wanna do instead
is get ShB
and then on mog station get the collector's upgrade
no idea what's that. but i'd love having more trials, especially high level ones. i have to look for Hell's lid quests?
Yes
Hell's Lid unlocks from a
in the Ruby Sea.
All the expansions have a trial series sidequest chain which unlock 3 trials each
@tidal yarrow The 4 Lords questline starts from Soroban in the Ruby Sea
There's a lv70 quest chain with 2 dungeons and 3 trials
Do the Heavensward ones too if you haven't
That particular quest pops up associated with a step in the
for post-SB
i might keep it for later tho.. im tryna finish shb and 5.2 before update
have u done crystal tower
doing things out of order smh
I need help for my friend, She wants to unlock HoH and it's telling her to complete floor 50 of potd.
yep! i am at level76 msq
Well, has she completed it?
Can she start from 51-60 if she tries to queue into PotD?
I think she just found it after telling me for 10 minutes there's no quest there.....
Bit of an odd question. Just got my account back from 2014, would you recommend starting the sub logging in etc (with just ARR on the account) or to buy shadowbringers first install that and then login
Preference
You need a sub either way
^
good point
Note that in a week, the starter edition will include HW
so you can play through all of HW without buying ShB
it happens 
lmao
@halcyon glen @mossy kite also note that if you get ARR now you should get HW on the 11th anyway
Is it not... normal to know exactly what the progression of every one of your characters is at?
patch notes come out this friday, right?
I have 7 characters, it can be hard to remember
thats what i mean yes
prelims should be up on friday, yes
Not the full patch notes, but theoretically the partial notes
Full patch notes during maintenance
7 characters god damn. I got one and I barely know where she's at in the story
24h maintenance for the patch on Monday tho 😦
They're always like 99% full patch notes so they might as well be full lol
they're missing like, crafting recipes and that's about it
24h maintenance for the patch on Monday tho 😦
when does it start the maintenance?
probably 3 AM PST
!maint
so that they can do 3 AM Tues release
Uhh, I forget what it said. Like, 3am PST Monday until 3am PST Tuesday.
Aug. 10, 2020 3:00 a.m. to Aug. 11, 2020 3:00 a.m. (PDT)
can always make the suggestion in #discord-feedback
i checked and since i live in italy it's from monday 12am to next day 12 am
not too bad, but still ugh
is theres fc buff to increase Potion duration?
no, just food
Seems like while not using the account my character was put on another server
Server, or datacenter?
Because if you haven't played since 2014, there's been some reshuffling of datacenters.
Says my home world is Hyperion but I was on Cerberus
Impossible unless you got the wrong character or remember wrong
Cerberus is an EU server (Chaos), Hyperion is NA (Primal)
ill try logging into the game and see what comes up, rather than mog station
You can also try checking your character profile on the official site.
I think I know the problem, I did an entry sub instead of standard
is there a way to upgrade or do I have to cancel?
You should just be able to change your sub type
Or maybe just delete the extra character on hyperion?
But the only real difference between the two would be a restriction on number of characters.
It shouldn't change your servers.
I believe at the time I could make a character on NA and may have just while EU was down or something
When you log in to the game, you should be able to select your data center from the game menu.
Yeah ill try that
Has anyone's duty finder getting stuck at "Readying duty..." in the duty list? It's been like this for me the past 3 days.
Never seen that, what are you queueing for?
The Twining but it does that for every duty I queue for.
I have been finding partys like normal however.
You say it gets stuck at readying duty for whatever you queue for, but then say you can find parties? I'm confused lol
it's most likely just a visual glitch. Just wanted to know if any else has been experiencing the same thing.
i need help. year off. came back and skysteel tools exist. I have no idea what my alc rotations are anymore
never happened to me personally

Hi guys, is there a way to hide my character fflogs?
Should be a text at the bottom of your character page that says "If you are the owner of this character, you can request that parses involving your character be hidden. Click here to find out more."
werent parses against tos
yes
@tight spoke They are but they turn a blind eye to it as long as you don't use them to harass people
i see. where can i find crafter rotations?
Also, there was this great resource for leveling crafters and gatherers efficiently but I dont have it saved
werent parses against tos
@tight spoke I don't even know this. It must be bannable though. Recently had a run with guildmates and kinda he's kinda toxic. TBH, i'm bad at playing that job and want to play it more in savage content for learning and such
Looking at the dps meter and things like that
Its only bannable if theres harassment
@median locust So, how do i know if the logs already hidden?
Like I said, SE doesn't care as long as you don't start shaming people ingame for their DPS.
@lethal schooner Go to your profile, click Update
Otherwise its perfectly fine and helpful
@lethal schooner Go to your profile, click Update
@median locust tried to find it but there's no update button
is there no achievement for crafting high quality items?
there is I'm pretty sure
Oh but i don't have fflogs account.. which character's page though
These ones
You don't need an account to check your character's page and click update
Look up your character on fflogs and there will be an update link on the top right of the character page
The character you want to hide the logs of
Hello. I just paid for an entry subscription and now im waiting to download the game. I have made many characters. which one i will be able to access with the entry sub?
Thanks2 @strange coral @median locust it is hidden now 😄
First one you created if you have multiple per server iirc
the first character will be the one available
There's no reason for alts other than RP purposes or playing on other servers
if you have multiple on that server
i hav multiple on one server
Then what kael said
but my main is not the first created
But my dps still can be seen by other means (other than FFlogs) if i try to run savage?
If they're using Act yes
People using ACT in your party will be able to see it
then you'll need to choose standard sub and delete characters until its first on the list
Ah man.. there's no way around it then
All you can hide is what's uploaded to FFlogs
its the second oldest char i made. if i delete the first one i will be able to play with the one i want?
They'll still be able to see your DPS on their client
assuming its second on the character list, yes
Ok got it. Thanks a lot
there is no way to change to standard sub now, right ?
I did the same with the entry sub, I just cancelled and bought a standard, and it just charges you the difference for next 30 days
You can change to standard anytime I'm pretty sure
but i already paid the entry sub
You pay the difference
it wont charge me for 30 more days ?
When going to standard
No it just upgrades you for the 30 days you just bought
E.g. £7 for entry, cancel, +£1 more when choosing standard
Ends up looking like this in payment history
ok so i pressed cancel. then i press again add subscription?
going to pay with the paypal to add crystals. i should add 2euros crystals?
Euros might be different to mine as its in GB pounds
Am I blind or is there no marketboard in Eulmore?
yes the difference in euros, is 2
that should be all you need then
no, there's no marketboard in eulmore
There's no market in eulmore
Never any marketplaces in endgame areas
there is never a marketboard in the same place as tomestone vendors
Mor Dhona, Idyllshire, Rhalgr's Reach, Eulmore, no market
is there a way to change the markets your selling in? an does it even matter?
Retainer Vocate NPCs in any main city's market area will let you do it
where do you go to improve low durable items.. new player here
Mender npcs. There's one at each market area, also the inns/adventurer guilds
does the city matter?
