Ok. If I wanted to join the fisherman's guild or something... that won't effect my level or?
It used to matter because if you bought an item in the same city a retainer was stationed in, you wouldn't pay taxes
But now you pay taxes regardless, so it doesn't matter
Fisher starts at level 1, but whatever class/job you have currently will stay the same. You can switch back to it.
Ok so you level those up differently as your main class level..
Each class/job has its own levels. The exception being summoner and scholar as they share arcanist levels.
scholar is a healer correct
Yes
yes
Ok so I will be a scholar once I hit a certain point with arcanist
cause I don't like being DPS in dungeons lol
Whats the best way of getting poetics ?
@warm token i like being a dps in deungeon, not queing for one as dps though.
!faq poetics
Second link @limpid lantern
You're still expected to dps regardless of your role butters
when an mogstation says "account wide" does that mean i will receive the item on any character on each data center/world?
oh
And future characters you make
so I haven't played since before the first xpac. it looks like I need to resub + buy shadowbringers in order to play again? (or I can wait til next week to resub and get heavensward for free?)
You could do either
and does anyone know how long the 50% off sale is going to be around on the square-enix store?
But either way you'll need shadowbringers to continue past heavensward
@little swift let me put it differently, what is the best way to farm poetics for a character that just finished ARR (also, does the vid contain spoilers becuase it said shadowbringers)
when can you get your grand company squadron to rank 3? its not listed anywhere
Se sale lasts until the 19
The video just explains methods that are easy to get poetics from
thanks all
Rank 3 requires you to complete 5 unique command missions
To unlock the last flagged mission
ok thanks
no
Is it not that one?
Rank 3 just lv40?
ya
Ahhh brain fried my apologies
so i need my squad to become level 40 to unlock the mission?
when a dev ask me to "discard" an item, that means literally delete the item?
can i do the 5 unique command missions before my squad is rank 3?
@limpid lantern unlock all those lv50 dungeons and get access to 50/60/70 roulette. Msq roulette everyday as well. Your first time bonus in those dungeons will also give you bonus poetics
trying to buy the complete edition, but in the mogstation the complete edition is 39.99, in the square store its only 19.99, the latter doesnt have direct debit tho, any way to get the discounted version in the mog station?
err complete, not starter
for ACT, is there a way to not log open world stuff and only log end-game content while it's up?
I usually just leave ACT up for a long time
@little swift alright thank you for the complete answer ^^
When you upload it to fflogs you can filter out the encounters you don't want
@low sun ...what are you looking at in Mogstation?
@wintry chasm i just clicked upgrade on my trial and i can choose between starter for 9.99 and complete for 39.99
just don't upload the open world stuff
when a dev ask me to "discard" an item, that means literally delete the item?
@dry prairie where are they asking for this?
Should i spend all of my moogle tomes now, or wait at reset? i heard there was some kind of moogle event?
er, not reset i meant the new patch!
You won't be able to earn more moogle times after 5.3
Spend, you cant get any more after the patch
The vendor will be around for to spend but that's it
And nothing new is added for the currency
roger, thanks guys!
There's no reason to hold them
@little swift i hade a problem with an mogstation item, and it got sended to the wrong character, so they are asking me (the support center via mail), to discard said items and tell them the world/character name and time of this "discard" so they can go further and send the items to the actual character i wanted, so i wonder what "discard" means, receive those items from moogle and delete them?
@wintry chasm i dont have a cc or paypal, so just trying to buy the game via debit, which mogstation allows, but i dont get the discount there apparently, kinda disappointing :/
Discard means probably exactly what you think
When you right click interact with an item
It lets you discard
Yes, they're literally asking you to delete them
Which means throw away
outside of deliveries how can i earn yellow seals
Collectibles
where do i do those?
They're Rowena's turn ins. The items she asks for is in the timer menu in Rowena house of splenders
@low sun hmmm all I can really say is that I've been able to use my debit card on the SE store really
wheres she located
You just turn in Collectors Glove/synthesis and go get the items she asks
Least...according to my confirmation order for something I bought before
@wintry chasm ok dang, but thanks for trying to help. its not really a debit card, its giving them allowance to pull money from my account directly (its mostly a german thing)
You turn the items in at any endgame hub area (mor dhona, Idyllshire, rhalgars or eulmore) or in the main cities at the appraisers
They're near the people you spend scrips at
are there any online shops that sell the complete edition discounted (if anyone knows)?
SE store
what is a double, triple and quadruple pull? :c
except for the official one
Nope
@frigid cedar probably pulling more and more trash packs
guess all i can do is buy it from some shady key reseller and hope for the best lol
@low sun amazon i bought it for $33 complete edition
its really expensive on amazon for me (in my country)
Probably seller trying to cheat although i think i got it for very cheap maybe seller made a mistake
man its never been so hard for me to buy a game, owee
But man buy the square enix version not the steam
thats what i want ye

If you buy from any shady site look it up on reddit for its credibility i bought a 60 days subscription from a shady site and it worked hopefully
Is there a level up guide for Eureka Pagos or should I stay in Anemos until a certain level and head there?
I think you have to get to 20 in Anemos before you can access Pagos?
so what do play accomedations do? I keep getting like 2 per dungeon I have started
Is there some kind of special gold like alloy in the ff universe wich i dont know off ?
Commends help you get a gold crown next to your name
Player Commendations are just basically kudos from the other players in your group for doing a good job.
If you're a tank or healer, you're more likely to get a comm at the end of an instance than a dps, and extra brownie points if you actually did your job well.
im having a hard time finding the "collector thing for yellow scripts" does anyone have an exact location/merchant name
Hmm it might be because every dungeon is my first and I don't screw it up for everyone lol
You mean the scrips exchange? There's one at every major city
iirc in Limsa it's next to the dyemonger
People will be more inclined to give you comms if you're a sprout
and do well, yes.
the collector that you turn in collectables for scripts
Oh what does that symbol mean.. haha
That indicates that you're new to the game - you have not completed Stormblood, and have less than 200 hours (or something) played.
Just look for a merchant that has scrips over the head and one of the four is the turn in guy
168hours
168 hours then, because who needs a nice multiple of 5 anyways -.-
it's a nice multiple of 24
168 is a week straight of playing
So after 7 days and stormbloodcompletion the sprout thing goes away ?
7 days straight of being logged in. Not 7 days real time.
Not that I'd recommend that
I bought something from the mog station and my mail was full is the item lost now?
😢
No, just clear out your mail box and wait a little bit
And press the "request delivery" button
mor dhona
Mor dhona
It did not work😭
It will work. Give it time.
How many minutes I wait?
Yes
Good to know! Thank you
Varies on item
is there a deleted history I can check?
When I had my mailbox overcapped and had to clear stuff for mogstation items a few days ago it took about 40 minutes for the missed items to show up.
Just give it some time.
Question: I'm playing the game via Steam - the text advance keybind for "faster" is shift + tab but this only brings up steam menu - can I change that keybind and if so where?
I mean "slower"
system > keybind
im still extremely lost on the yellow scripts thing
Ok I’ll wait😢
There is a button in the mail you can press to kinda force try again the mail Aleanotis
I'm looking at the system-keybind but can't see any related option?
spamming it doesnt do anything
Patient
@hearty linden can you change the steam keybind instead or just disable steam overlay if you don't use it?
Will look into if I can disable steam overlay for this game only then, thanks
it should be in right click > properties > uncheck "enable steam overlay"
Last question for now then - if you accidentally bring up chat with "enter" while in a cutscene, what key removes the visable chat window?
right click the tab and click hide
oooh, thanks : )
Can I only desynth certain collectables?
Only collectibles from emphyral nodes can be reduced
ah, thanks!
are crystarium gears still better then neo, even though some neo gears give ch?
Main stat > substats and crystarium can be augmented.
Yes, 10 item levels make up for the sub stats not being as good 99.9% of the time
So I just unlocked Palace of The Dead, how do I actually get into it and do it? It's not in my duty finder
talk to the expedition captain
The upper part is what yoi always get extra right
And the lower gets disabled when in a party and joining ?
Lower is always there
Upper is daily bonus
Actually scratch, lower is in-need bonus
Upper is daily
Right so if we enter as a party in queue, we get the upper but not the lower
adventurer in need only is disabled if you're a full premade
so if you're 3/4, whoever fills the in need role would still get it
if there's already a hidden item shown, does luck of the pioneer not show the other hidden item?
If I own all of the expansions will my account be in sub only mode? Like I won't be able to level for free without a sub up to 60?
once august 11th comes of course.
you need to base game to own expacs so yes
the short exploration every hour and then the 18h exploration when you log off
Once you pay for sub/buy game, you cannot go back to trial.
Even after August 11th and the whole revamp of them making the base game plus first expansion free?
yes
Thats specifically for free trial.
For paid game,starter edition now includes heavensward. That about it.
the base game will include heavensward and free trial accounts will also get to play to heavensward
Does this mean I'll have to turn in six items to complete the quest?
yes
Thanks!
Ok, thanks for the info you guys. I believe I should've worded stuff a little better. Letting my sub lapse will essentially lock me out because my account will not be "free trial" - there was some hope I'd still be able to mess around on characters that was not over 60 and such.
Hi, I am having issue logging in via steam, I did 5 password reset, but everytime i try to log on using steam, It keep telling me wrong account name/password. Then it ask me to wait a few minutes and try again....
make sure youre turning in HQ
did you make a mogstation account
That's where i sub right?
yes
yeah
are you putting in your email in the ID field
your square enix ID yes?
can you log in to mogstation
new password didn't take then?
But i got an already saved password that works even after resseting my password 10 times.
Also, how do i see what my "parse colour" is? I keep hearing about "green parse" and other colours, and I even use ACT, but it colours everyone by their job/role.
but i get the email that my PW was changed...
and they got no live chat to help me fix the issue
Where can i start blacksmith job? Can i increase GP as miner? Any good job guides?
Limsa Lominsa
upper decks, southern end
quest name is "So You Wanna Be A Blacksmith"
or something to that effect
so the saved password works in mog station but not in the launcher
you can increase GP by equipping gear with GP on it, usually right side gear, or melding GP. Job guides can be found here with the appropriate kupo bot command, or on the balance.
@weak lance
it's fine what ever im just not going to re-sub fuck it
whats the kupo commands?
er, usually !faq [jobname]guide, like !faq blmguide or something. Play around in #kupo-bot-spam .
k. thanks!
hi guys, could anyone point me to an updated crafting solver?
something like this one, but this seems outdated https://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/simulator
i'll check out teamcraft
I think teamcraft has a crafting simulation feature?
by the way
from 5.3
you can use crafting simulation ingame! you can try recipes without having mats.
oooh that's nice!
kinda difficult trying different ways to properly craft something with low level jobs
looking forward to that

will I get better xp for turning in hq gear in facet quests or just more scrips or whatever else?
hq stuff*
Is there like a trusted seller for game keys? im trying to get into FFXIV but i dont feel like paying the full price. Thanks
try the free trial
nope, all key sellers are sketchy at best
can i play the free trail with my friends tho? i heard something about that yesterday
If they own the game they can invite you
whats the FSH alternative for this set https://ffxivteamcraft.com/gearset/MSTWU7OErm2FDgVAiHkw ? I couldn't find a scrip secondary tool
@faint flare and if they don't they cant invite me?
Free trial can't invite
@latent prism fisher doesn't have any other secondary tools
Flat out
should I keep the gig it gave me a long long time ago?
yes
thats the only gig we have for spearfishing
theres only one gig so far
ooh
so since i cant invite them doest that mean i cant play with them in the same game?
you should be able to buy it at any big city
If you can get someone who owns the gamr to invite you, you can
But you'll be dropping party often for solo instances
so lets say 2 of us have the free trail that means we cant play together without a game owner right?
but in the same world does work i suppose
You'll see each other at least
You can, but you need someone who has bought the game to invite the both of you
Already said that
i can prob get someone to do that for us in here right?
What me and my friend did was we just ran around in the same places while talking in a VC
It wasn't much different from after we bought the game. Other than getting same item drops from trash mobs in the overworld and things
its asking for a one time password, where do i find that cuz i dont think i have one
oh Thanks
is there crafting tribe for ShB yet?
dwarves comes out next week
is there an easier way to button to target enemies in pc
easier than?
clicking
I mostly use tab
Tab
you are a god send
The complete collectors and complete is 50% off, which one should I get
if youre not sure, you can upgrade to collectors later
Collectors only adds some cosmetic stuff
You get the fat chocobo mount right?
But is the collectors cosmetic good
I like the shb ones
Have you got a picture?
is it possible to move hud layouts between chars?
so if i play the free trail, do my stats save when i buy the actual game.
Yes
@somber forge
Hmmm
is it possible to move hud layouts between chars?
@rugged pond you should be able to export your settings and then import them on the other char
That looks cool
●Bonus In-game Items
Grani Mount / Wind-up Fran Minion / Revolver Gunbreaker Weapon
how do I do that?
That's the shb deluxe right
It's the bonus stuff that comes with the collector's edition
The past expansions have collector's edition stuff that can still be purchased on the mogstation, but I believe the SE store packages only include the ShB collector's stuff
Ahh cool cool
Just to be clear, collector's edition is only ShB and past expansions, but does not include the base game (starter/ARR). Complete edition includes base game plus ShB and past expansions, but not collector's stuff.
I thought there was, but wasn't seeing it on SE store
how do I do that?
@rugged pond in your games folder... if youre on pc.. you can copy addon.dat and hotbar.dat to the other char
thanks
@twilit arch yeah I meant cce
didnt want to assume your were on pc cause I dont know if you can do that on ps4
atleast...there was a complete collector's
Are DoL levels limited as free trial aswell?
Ook. Can i save the leve quest rewards and claim them after patch?
Oh yea, I see complete collector's on the EU store. It does say it comes with all expansion collector's items, not just ShB
yeah you should be able to
Nice
yep can hold onto any leves you've got atm
and turn them in after the patch to get the exp
what do i spend my poetics on, my currency is almost capped
Yeah complete collector edition 50% sale too
i can only find lvl 50 gear
Poetics on?
but i read u can get 60
level 60 gear is in idyllshire
oh
Then turn those in for company seals, which you spend on either ventures or glamour prisms
but its msq locked so unless you've gotten there already, just have to either deal with being capped
or buy ironworks to trade for gc seals/alt jobs
-Also I just finished Memoria Misera and got two idols from it.
i dont wanna buy lvl 50 gear tho cause ill be 60 soon enough
You cant get lv60 gear cause its story locked
Does it actually drop two idols per clear or is there something more to it?
it drops 2 per clear
Ah okay, thanks.
You need to get to Idyllshire first to get it
so i need to get to heavens before i can even buy it?
^ Yes
You need to do the lv57ish quest where you go to ishgard
you need to get more than halfway through
keep it to use with other Jobs that share the gear
Does this game have a guild system or are Grand Companies it?
Free companies are the player-run guilds
Cool! Thanks 🙂
what combat gear set is easy to get right now that i should have? been away for awhile i only have Eden/Deepshadow mix at the moment
Eden verse/neo ishgardian (crafted gear, get HQ)
if you have the ilvl for the latest ex trial you can do that one for a quick 485 set
and its pretty easy
is there any sort of alternative to adding friends for free trial players? i'm starting out with some friends of mine and i'd like if i could tell more easily where they are and stuff like that.
i accedently entered the wrong age and now i cant check the store for some reason
they're sightseeing logs
those are vistas
ohhh
Sightseeing log spots
for the sightseeing log
good to know thank you
they give exp so switch to a class you want exp on. even if its small
After getting unearth iii and bountiful yield ii, there's no reason to ever use unearth ii or bountiful yield i right?
is there any sort of alternative to adding friends for free trial players? i'm starting out with some friends of mine and i'd like if i could tell more easily where they are and stuff like that.
@leaden ginkgo you can add them all to a linkshell I think?
just need one player with the game
to create one
we dont though, that's the issue. we're all only just starting so we would rather not pay for the game while we don't have to
i hadn't really expected free trial restrictions to be so strict when it comes to social aspects, i suppose
you could ask for someone's help here
ah, like ask if someone else could set up a linkshell for us?
would it work if someone with the game added them all to a linkshell and then left the linkshell
it should
ah i see, that could work then
idk if you can transfer linkshell ownership
the limitations are really there so bots dont spam everyone in the game constantly
i need help, i entered the wrong age and now i cant see anything on the store, is there a way to change that or am i screwed?
clear your browser cookies or use another browser
try incognito or deleting your cache or using a diff browser
it would be nice if some social restrictions like chat and friends could get lifted after a certain point to prevent bots but still allow free trial players to access them
one day
you have to be 13+ in order to play FF right?
just enter an 18+ age
alr
LOL
if youre 12 I would recommend doing your homework and your chores before playing too much mmos
oh im not dont worry
lmao
i was asking cuz the site might act up again
whatever you enter make sure you write it down somewhere cause i think you get asked to confirm your "date of birth" to reset your password
is it better to save leves for crafter or gatherers? i have all of them around lv20-30
crafters and fishing
thats my personal opinion... you can do any order
if someone else were to set up a linkshell for me and my friends, would i then be able to invite players to it if they transfer ownership of the linkshell to me? its just that one person hasnt yet managed to get a chance to start the game
I just hit level 76 monk and unlocked Riddle of Wind skill, which gives me a 4th Greased Lightning. Does this mean I should stop fighting in Fists of Fire and instead primarily use Fists of Wind?
Yes

open with fire then switch to wind at 3 stacks
Oh!! That's a good idea!!
Fire while building gl3. Swao to wind for 4th
but you can stay in wind most of the time
Yeah, once you're at 4 stay in wind forever
The opener's a bit finicky but it basically says start in fire, PB asap, snap snap (wind) snakes RoF demolish, etc
oh hm yeah also requiring you to demolish as your first action there
I'm going to be attacking pretty fast. Do people ever slot Monk with Skill Speed materia? In my head I am imagining Dance Dance Revolution style of button pressing.
they said they're going to rework it in the patch after the next, so who knows
Yeah
monk is getting QoL next patch, and a potentially decent rework patch after that
i mean you could go max skill speed on monk if u really wanted to
dance dance revolution is dancer
is anybody else
lagging intensely right now?
my friend and i ar eboth lagging at the exact same time/mechs in the copied factory
what world
zalera, crystal
im getting some nasty lag on gilgamesh rn
i'm on coeurl and not noticing any lag so idk
Is Medica 2 better than Medica 1?
depends what you need
Medica 1 is "I need raw healing NOW cause Medica 2 regen has no time to tick and I'm out of Lilies for Rapture"
And people too far for cure 3
at low level if your medica 2 hot is still there you can use medica 1. then after that you'll get more aoe healing spells
M2 is higher potency but you have to wait for its full effect. M1 becomes a niche spell quickly since the need to topoff becomes less the more you're confident in how much damage will take in the near future
Is there any way you need to unlock skills for blue mage other than just having it in your spellbook? Can't seem to use any aside from water cannon
you need to check the ones you want to use
as was explained when you got the job
you have to find and fight monsters with those spells
in order to learn them
they need to use the spell first too
Yea, and I've checked a couple of them as well // they are in my active actions
you get a few for free
drag them to your hotbar
Learn spell > tick box in book > place skill in hotbar either in book or from main menu
you need to set them as active, save that, then you can use them
Learning new blu spells is umm, a temperamental process (rng)
(The earlier dungeon ones and ones required to advance blu story are garanteed so feel free to unsync vale for glower)
dungeons spells are 100% learn rate if you do it sync, so if you can get a group to run it sync you should
when levelling a new job, since i dont have iron works anymore
do i just go to independent tailors and buy their gear?
or is there an armor progression im supposed to follow from somewhere
like gc
How much harder is hard mode on a dungeon than rhe first time ?
None
hard mode dungeons are just alternate paths through the dungeon
Its just another dungeon
past 50, dungeons give you guaranteed gear for your current job @nova karma so you can do a couple and buy white gear from vendors too
this is not for the max level ones at 60/70/80
but in between
Oh i figured it was like extreme and savage but rhen less hard
ok just hit 15 so unlocked satasha
No
Weird way of phrasing it but thanks for explaining :)
now just gunna level and get gear hopefully ty
low level you can use the tutorial set to 30, then at 30 you should replace it at like every 10 levels
but you should level fast enough that you dont really need
to worry about gear too much
until 50 then get iron works which lasts till like 55
Last till 55 ??
I was 51, tried getting ironworks, i have almost full now but im almost 56 xD
So ironworks is soon to be useless again ?
Lv55 dungeons/story starts giving better
Can you not have two edenchoir rings on the same set? Is it 1 EC and 1 aug.crysta?
No, most blue equipment is Unique
Unique = Can't have two copies on you at the same time
equipped or not
You CAN have 1 unaugmented crystarium and 1 augmented crystarium ring though, those two are considered different items
how difficult are the first 2 crystal tower raids for a beginner healer?
Extremely easy
like below aurum vale?
like look away from your screen and wash the dishes upstairs easy
Like you barely see mechanics outside of the final boss
the skysteel gathering relics neede HQ items or Collectables?
Most of the difficulty in labby is the first boss skeletons exploding (press medica a couple times)
Most of the difficulty in circus tower is people standing in bad
they used to be more difficult... 5+ years ago 🙂 now the level sync is too generous
theres some boss phases you dont even see now
Can anyone help me find a video or romaji transcript of Gaius' speech in japanese?Google and Youtube were, for once, not much help.
You could set the game to japanese and run Prae
well that wouldn't be romanji text to be fair
didnt ffxiv allow for kana writing instead of kanji?
nvm its a tool
found this on reddit tho
Does anyone know if the Wootz fending set has the plates dyed, or is it the soft bodysuit portion?
what's the fastest way to lvl a DPS from 57 to 70? Can't really do dungeons like I did on tanks because of queue times
Can check Eorzeacollection and filter only by glams that use the Wootz Cuirass, then you get an idea of how it looks in multiple colors
keep doing daily roulettes, obviously
hello. any idea why i cant equip samurai soul stone? i reached lvl 50 and completed ultima weapon
and then after that spam Palace of the Dead until 61, and then switch to Heaven on High
equip a katana first
@primal zinc you need to equip the katana the soul stone will come with it automatically
oh okie ty
Ah, thanks. I was thinking it'd be a really good look for a Mi'Qote DRK, since it allowed space for my tail.
A lot of armors it just kinda clips through and it wigs the shit out of me.
It's looking like it dyes the plate then makes the soft part a darker version of the dye color
Thats fine, so long as I can make it suitably NOT marble white.
remember you can try on stuff ingame and rightclick to enable dye preview
and since that stuff's on MB should be fairly doable
probably
3rd boss of scyrus has something to esuna
He puts bombs on people that knock others baxk
But not "required"
solely based on the fact I didn't know that mechanic was still in
i'd say it ain't yeah
I'm on PS4, didnt see an option to preview dyes without the item itself
I'd purchase it, mind, but I already spent too much on another glam set.
Try on > in the fitting room > square on the item and dye preview
Yeah if you have them in dressing room, then you 'bring up dialogue box' enable dye preview is there
Go to a market board, try on, then you can preview dyes from there
I'll give it another shot at some point
Is this for real?!
ok thank god i was gonna lose my actual mind
They’d never remove potatoes from the game
doesn't Yoshi p play as a lala
Yes
Er is there any way I can get rid of a general buff, I used the pre-70 survival manual for bonus exp when gathering, but now I'm level 70+ I want to use the post-70 manual but it can't overwrite the effect I already have
I'm too addicted to quit but I'd be super mad
On ps4
I can tab to normal class buffs but not the character buff
Scroll over to it iirc
Not working, I'll just try switching to mouse mode
If it's something you have to do often you can make a macro with /statusoff <name of the buff>, otherwise removing a buff on controller is a pain from what I've heard
Switching to mouse mode worked

Are you meant to do all the crafting jobs at the same time? I'm having a hard time finding some wood and metal bars, and alumen, which someone told me needs to be mined.
so I just got around to training my chocobo (about damn time) and I'm wondering if I should train Defender, Healer, or Attacker?
Healer
Culinarian is kinda self contained but all the other crafting jobs kinda feed into one another
i generally recommend atleast getting choco regen from the healer tree. After that you can either focus completely on the healer tree, go up to choco cure and then go into attacker tree, or go into attack tree
Also recommend levelling Botanist and Miner so you can gather your own materials
yes
Yes
gotcha
fishing seems to be pretty self contained, at least to level 20 🙂
Healer means you don't worry about self sustain
Fishing is meh, not as useful as miner or botanist
Not many fish are actually useful
I would recommend fishing only if you like fishing
There is a bit of money from it though, I earn about 200-300k a week from icepicks
is grinding monsters in the world the only way to gain chocobo ranks?
you can stable and train
ohok
Challenge logs
i see botany is in gridania, where do I go for mining?
Uldah
thanks
is some kind of maintenance going on for account management or is my site bugging out completely now?
Can I use the level 70 gear all the way to level 80 with min/btn like I did for fsh
How do I ask for a fc invite properly in this discord
Non combats ?
Gathering and crafters
Ah, you do them as combat and then finish as non combat ?
No
Non combats have their own leves
Like "Craft X thing" or "Go here and gather stuff"
how do i abandon quests
I assuke you do that anyway so thst just seems like a bonus
open your quest log -> select quest -> abandon quest button at bottom of the log window
Leves are the repeatable quests for non combats, seeing as their only quests are beast tribes and job quests
Yeah i havent had any problems with exp yet
Im 6 lvls ahead of the MSQ
So i probably dont need them for exp
I have a question regarding the upcoming 5.3 update
If I start playing right now, would I need to make a new character once the update comes? Cause I know the main story is being cut off by a certain percentage.
hopefully I'm making sense. xD
Ohhh.
If youre on one of them, it will probably be dropped and your main scenario tracker will point you in the direction of the next one
Oh nice, hell yeah. Thank you for the help. 😄 Gonna get a subscription, then.
Do I have to do E1S before I do E2S
No because the lock is removed for 1-4
is there a bot i can follow for updates and announcements for my discord?
Is anyone else getting heavy lag on Crystal? I don't normally have any but my whole party was getting it really rough
can anyone help me out? my game is not letting me use a controller even when in gamepad mode, and with it selected as my controller
people recommended using the calibration setting but everytime I open it, it closes suddenly
yeah enable gamepad is on
all the people asking for help on the forums seem to have an issue with steam but I am using the standalone client
do I need steam?
Is there anyone who has an entry subscription?
is there a way to get the noctis stuff anymore? i'd rly like the shirt for glamour reasons
and you swapped the UI to gamepad?
damnit
@sonic pecan Yes
the controller doesnt even move the selections on the main menu, my guy
could it have to do with the game blocking connections with apps like parsec
I heard a few games started doing that to get people to buy into stadia or ps4 remoteplay and crap
still need a Sub and I think it is 50
ok
The trial is Free to try until lv60 on the 11th
not sure on that
For now its 35
lvl 35??
Yes
tyvm
Its being expanded on the 11th
wonderful
expanded for arr subs too?
Got my subscription. 😄
Starter edition gets expanded as well
people get free HW on the 11th 0_o
What free HW???
when do you get your limit break btw
In 4man+ parties
LB is in all dungeon parties
Doesn't even need a dungeon
oh
Just be in a 4+ group
cant seem to find my limit break
pretty sure even level 1 people can use them
1 se
Action and traits
it is in general actions
In general
wait whats going to be the diferene between starter edition and trial now?
You remove the trial limitations
but the trial limitations aint much, just chat
Its a fair bit, especially when you're given access to raids
Social restrictions. Trial can't join FCs, use marketboard, create party, etc
what's the gil limit?
300k cap is ok at 35 but thats small at 60
has anyone seen a large plot drop to its minimum value?
No
yeah but hitting 60 and being way ahead
of msq means yo ugotta get level 60 gear to power through
You'll have Shire
one more question for now
When you hit Idyllshire
i haven't even hit idyllshire and i'm level 72
is this game better with controller or M+K?
The one that you are more comfortable with
never tried with controller, but it's cuz i'm used to M+K
How does someone that has used a story skip get their chocobo?
I completely forgot and it's not on swift
It wont let him use the greens,
no the one to summon chocobo as a companion is in south shroud
"my feisty little chocobo"
Thank you!
Anyone knows what chest piece is that ?
Oh I see thanks
where can i access my pvp spells
In the pvp profile
my friend is having issues linking their psn and square enix account and im not sure why?
is there a place where you can buy all the basic crafting supplies of the various crafters in one place from npcs?
for someone who mains busy classes like ast and smn, what would be a good tank class for me to try out?
@delicate stone the merchant you can put inside housing has like 99% of the vendor materials from the guild vendors
Besides them, not really
gotcha thanks!

What ilvl will the EX weapons and the relic be next patch?
i495 for the EX, relic will probably be similar ilvl
yes, you can solo nidhogg ex
whm and pld both have solos of it
too bad then
War has a solo vid out too for it somewhere iirc
what must I do to get replica weapons
for which relic weapon, nate
Xiphias Replica
@twilit arch
talk to Staelhundr in kugane
There's a replica vendor
tf
have you completed that step
thats what im here asking what steps must I do 
You have to get Xiphias Eureka if you want the Xiphias Replica iirc
DRK Anima is better anyway
just use black
https://gyazo.com/01297a37fb680bc2ce011e78b16a2fd9
nawh I need the red
for my cape

Actually Nate
!iglam Elemental Armor of Fending +1
!iglam Elemental Armor of Fending +1
No
you need to complete the appropriate stage to get the replica
someone just link me where I can follows these stages cause google is a rabbit hole for me
talk to Gerolt
Ask to upgrade the weapon and he'll tell you what you're missing
Although iirc Hydatos does have a Paz/Louhi/Penny
Which you need to do for the weapon
Lemme check
!item Crystalline Scale
It's not that hard
should I prioritize crafting everything in my crafting log once before doing guild leves?
No. That's a waste.
crafting log for 1-15/20 is fine but after that, no
Like its fine to do that in the super early levels for stuff thats the same level as you are, roughly
should be doing leves or restoration at that point
but dont go back and craft level 1 stuff to get the "first time bonus"
gotcha, thanks!
New to the game tank lvl 5 atm working in the hunting stuff atm, are the inner city quests worth doing or stick to main?
Stick to the MSQ
Select an option
oh wow
you have to pick a reward
You can do some sidequests if you need some levels @exotic ridge, but duty roulettes are better once you unlock them. So stick to the Main Scenario quests.
Finding this select monster first then skills really hard atm
Once you get used to it, it is pretty easy.
I m used to ESO etc use the left mouse to swing sword etc
someone mentioned there was an option to target nearest first or something
Yes corect, i don't remember where that option was, maybe someone else?
I'll have a root for it tommoz
Maybe the UI guide can be useful to you too:
Ta, I haven't even got to that stuff yet
Do you know a good YouTube who is up to date?
Mainly tanking
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/uiguide/battle/#category-battle_target
That should also show the option to auto-target the enemy you are auto-attacking
Check the balance for that, i think they are better for that then this discord.
!faq balance
Thx for the help
Np
are there multiple ways to unlock The sunken temple of Qarn? I just took a quest that unlocked it but i have done it before a lot
ah, makes sense now ty!
Balmerick, more like spagetti code from 1.x
Not really?
so i heard coming with next patch 5.3, it will be easier to get bis gear? how does that exactly happen?
It started out the game as a side-dungeon. Then in a later patch it was added to MSQ. But at that point they werent really....sure how they wanted to handle that scenario
The upgrade mats for allegory gear (armor and accessories) can be purchased via Nuts and the 24man tokens
the 60 dungeons dont givem uch XP do they? is it better to just run the 59/69 dungeon over and over
@strong sphinx it will be easier to get some BIS gear, because crystarium can be upgraded much easier. But you'll still have to do savage to get your BIS slots that use Eden
tha means, you still have to farm the allegory to buy the crystarium gear but getting the augmented versions is easier since you be will able to buy the upgrade mats via nuts/tokens?
Yes
Yup
alright
You'll get at least 1 per weeo via 24man
will there still be the 450 allegory lock each week?
More if you do hunts
Yes
Yes
More if you do hunts
@faint flare wait what
do we know for how much?
Should cost 2000 and 3000 iirc
ye
2000 for the coating
3000 for the twine
alternatively, 1 coin from the first lvl 80 alliance raid + 1 coin from the 2nd lvl 80 alliance raid
Double the coins, double the trouble
Any dailies i should know of that offer good gil rewards? I believe one of the roulettes do right?

whats a good place thats snowing and has benches
Falcons nest? Idk about benches.
The upper section of ishgard or the restoration area might have actual park benches
Where can I find a good gnb rotation image
Is there a way to empty a hotbar while I try and figure it out?
anyone know the actual name of the song that plays at the 56 second mark? https://youtu.be/_Zfg4w6L5hY?t=56
its the praetorium theme, penitus
Hi guys can someone tell me where to unlock machinist. Thanks
Ishgard
At the skysteel factory
You need story progress to Ishgard, aka be in heavensward
its definitely praetorium's theme
Is it just me or are the Viera hairstyles not moving at all ? like they just seem locked.
is it just me or are the queue times for dungeons pretty high at this time of the day ? MSQ is a pain to deal while waiting 40+ min for a dungeon
Hey, Ishgard grand compagny exist ? or in fc ally ?
nope.
no

Anyone else experiencing lag today?
it's been a bit touch and go for a few people in my FC
can't personally vouch for it
do you need nexus zodiac weapons to upgrade to the zodiac braves(example: thryus nexus to nirvana) or is the nexus weapons in heavensward and the zodiac braves is in a later expansion and a seperate quest line
The anima weapons are a different quest line, yes
You dont need it
However having it allows you to skip the first step of anima
Which is a fate grind
Totally not worth doing a whole relic just to trade in to skip a step
so you telling me ive been grinding for the wrong thing. these books are a paaain
Aight im in idyylshire when do i get shire stuff
What's the easiest way to find an hunt group for farming Allegory?
Middle counter in the big building
The big building in the centre
And you earn these through dungeons right?
Poetics, yeah. Just about any level cap content
@devout salmon aetherhunts has a dedicated discord server
This is the questions channel btw

It’s in #resources
Thank you.
