You can actually get by on Gears and Gils you make from all the quests
@static yacht or Press Num0
Alternatively that
sorry to interrupt but, can you use glamor plates for fashion report or do you need to wear the actual item?
ty
okay, thanks
how do people set their male Au' Ra's to have light/pale skintones?
are there any recipes that require the new crafting set pentamelded?
how do people set their male Au' Ra's to have light/pale skintones?
@left palm probably they're from the Xaela clan?
I can only see greyish/creme colors
all races have alternate clans, and they have access to different skin tones
what materia should i put on blm relic? Cant put crit. Got pretty low spell speed, but still enough for basic opener. Also share gear with smn
yeah, no light/pale skintones for either clan
try diferent lightning on character creation
Keep in mind skin tones will shift in game based on lighting
character creation lighting isn't...always the best
but yeah mess around with the various different types
what materia should i put on blm relic? Cant put crit. Got pretty low spell speed, but still enough for basic opener. Also share gear with smn
@deft quiver direct hit rate
because it may look darker in the default setting than it is in like the gridania or limsa one
so I notice that resistance is back or is it?
what does direct hit do
When can we expect patches 5.3.1 and 5.3.5? What has been the general logic in terms of release for these kinds of patches
it has a chance to deal extra damage to the target
.x1 is usually a couple of weeks after patch
Direct hit does 25% more damage than a normal hit
.x5 is generally a month or so
You can direct hit on a crit
I mean elemental resistance for grars and such
Getting more direct hit raises the chance of it happening
what is that? lol
I take it no one knows
I don't know
Did they change something with the Auger in the Diadem? I'm shooting mobs but not getting any mats
lvl 41 BTN^
anyone know how many MSQ were changed from realm reborn? is there a list of altered quests somewhere?
ok nvm, it's actually pretty obvious what the strategy is
Question: If someone downloaded free trial but they decide to pay the sub to use friend features would they have to buy Shadowbringers then?
just choose the spots that are between two 2x2 spots and just do process of elimination
if they want to play past heavensward, yes
Thx
Is there a consensus on what the best Summoner pet is for solo world content? Still just Ifrit for overall flexibility and laziness?
Ifirit cause dead things dont hurt
righto
@calm copper https://dd.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/i7wv3g/the_new_update_changes_in_53/ seems to be pretty correct but i can't say for certain myself
perfect thanks!
so im just windering whether i can move my character to a different world
if you have a credit card, yea nvm, you said world, not data center
you can use world visit if you want to hop to another world to play with friends within the same data center
ok
but if you want to move your character to a different home world then you would need to pay for a world transfer
Hi, I'm new to Eorzea! (like many people today, I assume)
I'm spanish so sorry if I say anything wrong >_<
welcome
Do you have a question?
this the place to ask any questions you have
How do I get the kamuy mounts cause I wanna get the nine tails
any maybe watch some beginners veideo on youtube
they're from the stormblood extreme trials
!faq newplayertips
@arctic holly to add on Kael, you need to collect all 7 Kamuy mounts from Stormblood ex
Oh also how far into the story is the quest to fight garuda just wandering cause im a little further than that
whats advanced melding
Overmelding
Then a new quest will pop and let you get Kyubi
wack
Aka forcing materia into gear
Melding materia into hidden slots
Called to Forbidden/Advanced melding in game
I'm aware that I have to get all the foxes for kyubi I just needed to know how to get them
The image has a lot of beginner stuff in the top half
@obsidian patio Thanks! I saw it searching on google but I didn't know if it has updated info since it was made a year ago
Take note that not all gear can be overmeld
Only crafted gear (non upgraded neo ishgardian and any gear crafted by crafters) can be overnelded
Gear that cannot be overmeld will be marked with Advanced Melding Forbidden
After what msq can I get into expansions?
...
The first expansion quest should be Coming into Ishgard
In case there is any misunderstanding
The expansions are one long continuous msq
is the patch live? the new free to play expansion?
Yes
the gods have spoken i shall play to lvl 60
Another question! I got the free trial on PS4 but I wanted to try it on my laptop too, but when I try to download it, it says that I already have a FFXIV thing linked to my account
Only free for trial not existing full version users
what to do with base shire equipment that i got before the patch update?
The only way to try it on my laptop now is buying the game for PC?
i couldnt find the gobtwine
talk to calamity salvagers in any of the three starting cities, they will augment your shire gear for poetics @dapper oyster
im still a free to play acc
i havent paid for the member. do i still get the expansion ?
Then it will just work, weeaboo
talk to calamity salvagers in any of the three starting cities, they will augment your shire gear for poetics @dapper oyster
@twilit arch is limsa lominsa one of those city?
yes
aw yiss thanks
Yes
Free trial is expanded from the lvl 35 cap to lvl 60, and the HW content is getting thrown in
that makes it easier for me so once i max the free trial ill buy the expansion and member
keep in mind that you will still need the starter edition as well as the expansions
does that mean i could get dark knight in the free trail ?
the trial is just that, a trial. it does not give you the full game
yes, you can unlock dark knight on the trial
you cant use viera on free trial too right?
correct
Viera comes with Shadowbringers
viera are shadowbringers race so you need shadowbringers to unlock them
thats why this guy bought full version
what will be the difference then from trial vs when i buy expansions and member
If you buy just Starter Editiob
how is this still on pf o.o;
Well alot actually
It will unlock all the social/party/market limitations on your ARR and HW game
Is there a giant fat bunny mount? Like the Fat Cat mount for Miquote?
If you buy Shadowbringers
You get Stormblood, the level 60-70 content and Shadowbringers, the level 70-80 content
You can't form parties and you can't use the marketboard and you can't join free companies
In trial
does it matter before hw ?
What is the max level right now? 80?
Yes, 80
No free companies is no guild joining. As with any mmo player interaction tends to be helpful to enjoyment. That'd be a big reason to pop out of trail before 60 if you get engaged with the game
Wait at what quest does dark knight become usable?
does it matter before hw ?
@wintry compass social stuff? Depends if you want to play with other friends who are all in free trial, or if you want to trade on marketboard
@gloomy mortar nope
!faq hwjobs
i was planning to get the expansions as i complete the game so once i cap at 60 ill buy the starter and play through hw.
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require ownership of the Heavensward Expansion and the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".
what will be the difference of member and the starter expansion
Oh I should update that faq
or are they the same thing ?
Starter Edition is almost full member
Getting Starter Edition will give you a month sub
But you still need to setup subscriptions (full membership)
mmmm what do you suggest as i am busy a lot of the time with work
at what level do everyone meet up into the same area?
Play free trial for now, weeaboo
Monthly subscription, you pay for sub every month you want to play
mmm and when i get to the lvl cap ?
Then whenever you buy starter and/or Shadowbringers, sub a month or two once in a while to play
if im buying expansion do i still get to play in that content of the game with no member
so i read on reddit that if i buy the game online i receive a key? and then i can activate it later, is that right?
Buying Starter Edition give you a month sub, then to play more, you pay for subscription
Yes, Mighty
You always need to pay for subscription
stuck on this sastasha mission because i have no one to play with, is there any way i can play it by myself?
No way around it
so i can play until free trial level cap then activate key right?
@wintry compass once you aren't on trial, subscription is needed to play
@mortal ice yes
sweet ty
@dire portal just wait it out, queue times are a thing to expect as a DPS
hi! if i buy a subscription and cancel it after like 5 days, will the 25 rest of the days still be kept?
You can enable undersize party in duty finder settings, but that won’t help you at all unless you massively over level the duty
You cannot bank the 25 days and play later
mmmm so even tho i bought the expansion i wont be able to play in it without a member
its a level 15 and im level 22
Just wait for the queue
Not enough
oof might just get off and try again tomorrow
You don't have the damageto solo it
Tank/healer class are not as daunting as you think they are
theyre alright
the damage isnt there
so i when i do solo quests takes a bit longer
yeah but i only started playing today and kinda played all day i dont really want to make a new class

You can do it on the same character
It is insanely fast to level a class to lvl 15
On the same character
(and it is not by doing side quest
)
every job can be done on one character, this is an FF game after all
idk if he knows you can have many classes on the same character

need to reach lvl 15 with ur first job, then you canswitch to any of the base jobs
yea but for jobs outside of his starter area
E8S
ooooooooooooof
hey, downloaded the game, eso main for years. Is choosing a class not really important considering i can switch it later? Plan is to learn on what looks the funnest then swap to whatever mag class is meta
@scarlet prism there is no meta
Savage raid mount always (should be always) dropped by the last in the tier
all classes are viable in their own way and solely relies on how skilled the user is
All of them is viable, Templee, as unbelievable as this sounds
is getting member almost the same as getting the starter expansion?
what in the world
You'll still need to buy the starter, so u might as well just get the complete edition
and yea no meta in this game
Guys, do we know how many active subscription FFXIV got as of 2020 ? I found that it got to 20 million players in July 22 but it doesn't say active subs
Dunno
too be fair eso is like that at the moment (for mag at least). Anyone have any discords that aren't as absolutely massive with some useful infomation
Companies wont release information about those
20 Mil is accounts made
It is not a number SE told the public
For a different reason XD

Alright, wanted to compare a bit but that's alright, thanks !
One or another it is still sensitive information
Warlords of unsub
Hello, I am new. Is this every server?
Technically, no, we don't cover Chinese and South Korea server
oh I'm just looking for pals. I wanted a healer for my dungs
@wintry compass you can’t pay for subscription without buying the starter edition
Question: I was on Free Trial pre-5.3 and stopped at lvl 35.. Post-5.3 and still on Free trial, but now I'm not earning any experience.. Do I need to purchase the game at this point?
buying the starter is honestly a waste of money now though, just get the complete edition
also how many min do i wait if i get my password wrong ?
where can i get lvl around 45 smn accessories i cant seem 2 find a place 2 get them
you get a few tries before ur account is locked
@leaden ginkgo I just reload the launcher and it starts downloading again
@elfin wagon just gain more level and get level 50 accessories
do i reset my pass ? to unlock it?
Accessories is whacky befor lvl 50 anyway
Oh really? Idk then
You should be fine as long as your weapon is high level
Mines done it like three times as of tonight but I just reload it and it's fine
ah alright
if its locked you'll have to call customer service (Least thats what I had to do)
@obsidian patio can you help @severe cape
hi all, so with the new patch is lvling easier?
I don’t know for Jo
Leveling has always been easy
i got in ty
but powerleveling without upgraded gears is no good right
or can easily achieve 60+ with normal gears
There is no advantage in being overlevel
hey is there a paladin gear guide for 5.3? as in what to buy and what materia to place
What fish do you get on limsa lower decks while mooching a harbor herring?
normal gear has always worked fine
i mean for crystarium
Yeah
I hit lv 42 but gear is still like 25
I am considering if I want to reroll a free trial account
Your accessories can be lower level, they are very weird before lvl 50 anyway
I stupidly paid for game 1 day before patch update
Hey all, not sure if this is the right place to ask but. I haven't played the game in years. I think I stopped playing when guild housing was introduced and the farthest I ever got was turn 2. With all the new updates I was wondering if it would be worth coming back to the game? How hard would it be to catch up?
is there a way to automatically copy my hotbars from conjurer to my white mage?
/hotbar copy cnj 1 WHM 1
@stray temple well I'd recommend taking ur time cause depending on where you left off and how often you play it could be weeks to months
Hey all, I’m sure the game told me what this thing was at some point and I blew past it, but what is this emblem that seems to be permanently on screen now?
thats ur job gauge, it gets more complex as you level
Later it will have more things going on
It later includes other parts of your kit
You can move it around, HUD setting - drop down - bottom of the list
I don't remember the exact name for PLD job gauge
Interesting. Thanks everyone.
@wispy parcel I figured that would be the case. Is it possible to get through turns with a pug group now? What about other raids?
It is always possible to pugs
Coil is still extremely hard for random new players
As it’s essentially savage difficulty
Also it’s not in any roulette so queue times will be very long
The recommendation is to just unsync it with a pre-made party if you are only after completion/achievement
i'm guessing right now it's best to spend e6s books on gear
and not twine/glaze
since twine/glaze is a lot easier to get now
Most likely yeah
Yeah
/hotbar copy cnj 1 WHM 1
@warped nest wow that worked wonderfully, thanks a lot!
Unless you need nothing gear wise from e6s, since grabbing twin/glaze means you can upgrade a bit faster
@leaden ginkgo welp, I am glad I still remember the syntax lol
is there any word on gunbreaker and dancer weapons also getting tsukuyomi, seiryu, and etc crafted weapons in the future? if not then ima be pretty tilted since they only have shinryu
@thick flume we don't even have Zurvan stuff yet
It is pretty nebulous at this point
I wish I can confirm or deny anything
But I can't
i mean yea but new crafted weapons were added for tsukuyomi, seiryu, and one more for all classes except for gunbreaker and dancer
but they gave gunbreaker and dancer shinryu glowing weapons
That reminds me Ive seen a few people running around with ilvl 505 resistance weapons, any idea on how I upgrade mine?
So there is that
i mean i get that so i was wondering if there was any word on maybe gunbreaker and dancer glowing items getting added in a minor patch update
Resistance weapons shouldn’t have upgrades yet
hi! does anyone know how to fix this?
Are you sure you’re not just looking at Edev Verse savage gear?
Nothing, tbh, I don't even know that Seiryu, Tsukuyomi, and whoever are getting glowy until You mention it
It’s called Edenchoir (weapon name here)
not getting. they already got it. theyre on the market board rn
it might have been Eden yea, I just rememberd the Resistance stuff comes out at the end of the month
we have no indication or idea if/when gnb/dnc will get crafted version of it
Yeah, I didn't even see new glowy being mention on the patch note and whatev
It is added whenever it is added, as silly as this is
Question from me: GNB/DNC UWU/UCOB weapon... Did they add em on 5.3?
my message said (+50%) gladiator experience what does that mean
50 percent more exp is included in this amount
no, they dont have ucob/uwu weapons
Oh well
what bout for paladin
Gladator becomes Paladin
Paladin earn Gladiator exp
so does that extra 50 go towards paladin or glad
both
In A Realm Reborn jobs, we all have our base jobs
my character and class lvl are the same tho... shouldnt i be just receiving what the quest gives
Gladiator is the class while Paladin is the Job you unlock ontop of it
Heavensward to Shadowbringers are already advanced jobs
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue in it?'
That's Rested experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
To all first picked Arcanist,
You will experience having two soul crystal jobs: Summoner (DPS=Damage) and Scholar (Healer), are both shared Arcanist Lv.
no it says glad xp
Rested exp and armory exp are not explicitly written on your exp message
Don’t forget to wear your Soul Crystal, don’t leave without it when you accepted it
You gain 150(+50%) Gladiator exp.
So now your Gladiator get more exp, later when you unlock Paladin, your Paladin will be the exact same level as your Gladiator, and Paladin will gain Gladiator exp.
how much do you get from the fashion report
The +XX are bonus exp from different sources, which includes but not limited to armory exp, rested exp, food exp, FC exp buff, etc
I remember I got my first 86% fashion report for like 60k MGP?
is there a bot for the fashion report
Even if you don't want to put Gil to score high, just showing up will yield you 10k
!faq fashoonreport
Gold Saucer is giving players an entertainment or a break
You can buy them whatever it fits your lifestyle 
That’s last week
do we have detailed guide for each class? like im using AST and SMN
Yes
Here kyn
the balance?
Yes
oh another discord?
That
I am working Kupo bot hard lol
I wish Blitzball mini game exists in Gold Saucer as event
You get 10k MGP for participating, 50k MGP when you score 80+ points
However, if you score 100 points for the first time, there is an ingame achievement
First participation + Success Pts will give you a huge MGP
You can afford enough for a single emote
The other mini games kinda gives you less
But still, I personally love the mini games so far. Doesn’t matter I get a small or huge MGP. Just enjoy the content.
If you do want to grind MGP , last I check, you want to do the wood cutting mini game on one of the upper floor accessible by elevator
Why is it that I could used Trained Eye on Eulmore deliveries before the patch but I can't now?
dang so it the fashion report not out today
!action Trained Eye
is there any way else I could get like 50k mg today
Oh, there's different levels of stuff for Eulmore... this one's only one level above too, derp. <.<
Did the Eulmore deliveries ask for items from recipe higher than lvl 70 this week?
Yup, there you go :D
@slate carbon youtube and look for MGP farm method in xiv
One of them should recommend you playing a wood cutting mini game
You should be able to get 50k in a few hours
Oh, don't forget to do your daily mini cactpot
I've been wanting to Fantasia into another race, but I can't decide if I wanna be a Au Ra or Viera, is the headgear limitation on Viera that bad?
The team are working on adding more to Viera
Viera still cant wear most head gear yea
And if you like glasses and what not, Viera can wear them
I've clicked to join this server, but it won't show up in my list of servers ?? I can only access it until I close the app or open a different server, then it's gone. Anyone know why?
How can I augment neo-ishgardian gear?
Nvm lmao
you need undersea rain from phanta + Eulmoran Certificate of Novelty, which you get from turning in neo ish gear (hq gets more tokens)
Hi guys I'm lvl 39 monk do you think is time for me to lvl up the job crafters like miner and blacksmith or anything whit this jobs ?
I think crafting is more relevant end-game? You buy vendor gear during the grind
if you can access marketplace and has gil reserve, it is more effective to level up crafting. If you try to gather materials yourself, it is gonna to be a long detour.
So in end game the best gear you can haft is for crafters ?
How can I tell what a favored server is. I am thinking of starting from scratch.
preferred server = low population server (maybe not that low). I think it shows you that on server selection screen when creating a new character
hm... I accidentally made an extra augmented ishgardian ring... can I do anything with it?
wear it? you have two ring slots 😄
my friend is using the free trial and he hopped off the game for like 10 minutes and got back on and now he cant log in. even with the right password and id. still no work. he made the account so there's no way he forgot. is this a bug or something?
does it tell you wrong password/id?
yeah it tells him that
Hey so how can I fly in the old areas
is there any food to increase movement speed? ._.
a password reset then. Maybe he accidentally types wrong password, but remember the right password. Or Capslock is on or something
Did you guys disable the music when entering combat in public zone ? Does the music change between zones ?

okay cool thx
each zone/town has music. For combat music, it is up to you. You want keep listening to peaceful music while goring a poor wharf rat? Go ahead.
If each zone have his own combat music i'm done to keep it on
i'm assuming the minion from the new dungeon only drops from that boss chest?
yes
can i disable the "error" sound when i spam a keybind ?
ty
does the nier raid questline end with konogg left alone?
@patent trellis /actionerror off
probably not
Hmm that's not working, maybe i need to type the command in my game language
Nvm
it worked
ty 😄
can you use your mouse to aim your character or just A & D?
So, how much easier is it to level thru the starting zone now?
same as before all they did was cut ARR's MSQ by 13%
Looking at graphs and rotation charts and stuff has me confused to say the least, I’ve been doing fine so far (lvl 60) but does it reach a point where I need to be perfect? Or is that more for optimal stuff
how do i hide these names?
You dont have to be perfect in normal content, just follow your rotation
I mean, you should aim to perfect your rotation, yes. None of them are particularly hard outside of memorizing your opener. But that's something for level 80.
Savage content you need to be perfect
character config > display name settings > npcs > minions @raven crown
how do you upgrade the 480 crafted gear exactly?
you need to buy undersea rain with phantasmagoria and turn in either NQ or HQ (HQ gives more) neo ishgardian for eulmorean tokens
I think you mean Miner and Botanist there.
then exchange those for the augmented neo ish
maybe I should just stop playing if I am getting too many panic attacks over it
miner and botanist?\
Does anyone know when the game picks up or gets more interesting cause rn it’s very slow and boring
yea so you can get the raw materials to make stuff with the actual crafting jobs
saves gil
okie thanks
I think you need to get to lv60 for some jobs to have more intense rotation?
Final fantasy 14 Unable to Download Patch File - I tried changing DNS, i tried changing settings but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
You can also get raw materials by desynthing dungeon drops
do I need to level a crafting job to get desynthing?
@twilit arch ty!!
@mint moss its a hot key based MMO, you dont even get a full rotation until level 50 and for some jobs even lvl 60
where do i go for blm training at 35?
So it stays slow until level 60?
Yeah, you can level your crafters by just doing the crafting quests. They are pretty easy
if i buy promise of devotion, do both character get chocobo mount?
both parties need gold/plat bands
what's the best way to level without msq around lvl 45-50
so both parties need to buy the promise of devotion to be wed?
Dungeon Spam and PotD
At what level do I enter heavensward
yes, both parties need the same band. otherwise it will use the lower version
50-ish you'll probably be higher tho
thanks
Ok
are FCs also datacenter-wide or do I need to be on the same server as the FC when looking to join?
server based still
im pretty sure they are per server
ty

can someone help me? im with calamity salvager atm but cant find the option to trade my base shire into augmented or soemthing like that
What's the deal with these horny children in Gridania? Seedseers and the Conjuror trainer.
They're called Padjal's
Do they just not ever look like adults?
Dammit, Japan
iirc its under job specific gear section @dapper oyster
What is the "Free Trial Gil Cap" ? Ive no idea why they dont just say it on the limitations ...
Can you “Accept Teleport from” to an area you have not unlocked yet?
if it is my intention to play DRK, should i just skip PLD and stay GLD (I'm Lv41)?
no, unlock your job
lol
Yes
you're hindering yourself for no reason
Job stone gives you more abilities, and more importantly, significant stat bonuses as well
Like if you'd a GLD in the 41 dungeon people probably will votekick you because its basically trolling at that stage, if i'm being real.
you still have a fair bit of content to do between 41 and being able to unlock Dark Knight
how does weeklies work in terms of alliance raids? If I'm striving for a clothing item, does me getting it render me unable to get any other stuff for the rest of the raid?
how do you reliably tank swap while shirk is on cd? With shiva unreal needing so many tank swaps
@glad comet as soon as you loot a piece of gear, regardless of how you rolled for it, you're locked for the week.
turn off stance, other tank provoke, that's it?
So dont greed on random shit if you have a targetted item
heh, ok , thank you - do i just do the GLD quests and it'll lead to PLD?
yes
Yes
Hi, i just got the chocobo mount and not quite sure where to find the pouch
i was hoping i could get away with it since i spend about 85% of my time not fighting anyways
Can also get there via Character -> Chocobo Saddlebags menu
hmm its greyed out, is this not available in free trial?
Oh, actually
You have to unlock the quest that unlocks it as a battle companion as well
You need to do the lv30 side quest "My Feisty Chocobo" to unlock the saddlebag
@raven crown you're missing out on crucial skills. You cant get certain skills without doing your job quests.
they're locked behind those job quests.
oic, thanks guys
heh, last one i got i think was shield lob at LV10
also, like other people said, you'll probably get kicked out of dungeons
last i did was titan
Is the current relic weapon upgradeable yet? If not I assume it's better to use the augmented neo weapon at 490?
So neo weapon augmented to 490 is better than right.
@raven crown The quests don't take that long, and one day you'll want to level up all the classes anyway
Should u always go to higher iL?
Higher ilvl is basically always superior except for a very few exceptions at 80
Yeah I get that
Tanks are the most notable exception because their 500 helms both suck
Wasnt sure if that same case boded for a lower item lvl
Yeah that's what I was wondering
So ur saying u could see people using a 490 head instead of 500?
Do tanks stack? 2nd week of tanking I seem to die when I stack, is that just a late reaction or tanks shouldn’t stack
@mighty token clarify
Huh?
I mean its different fight to fight
Sometimes you stack
Sometimes you dont
mmm.
Ok, I thought so, I just felt like the times I would took big damage or die that I should stack so I avoided it
I think the first time you encounter a tank stack mechanic in MSQ is Akh Morn from the level 60 MSQ boss.
Okie I’ll keep an eye out for stacks, they just scared me for a bit
how big of a level gap for the MSQ prevents you from taking your next class quest
i reached lvl 35 as a black mage and am doing a level 27 MSQ
is there like a 5 level gap at most between the MSQ and class quest?
@acoustic osprey you'll get to a point where it wont be the case.

when does the content get really hard ?
Your definition of hard?
Extreme trials
Endgame SHB
like when gears have to be higher
if get to lvl 60 somehow, what is the min gear required ?
you mean ilvl?
270
if ilvl = gear avg lvl
Savage is endgame
Is there a way to get normal ironworks gear anymore?
there’s savages at lower levels too though it’ll be hard to find a group to do them with
270 for lvl 60 content? wow.
also, if i bought the materials to augment gear before, is there a way to turn it in for poetics?
Only people do the current content savage
Previous ones are rarely done on the right level
when do DF stop working or being effective
no @shrewd relic
yes, but good luck finding a party
So I went to gather but the node is not there , its normal node .. does my gear effect if the node appear or not ?
can you have hairstyle/color as a glam? instead of changing it manually everytime to fit a glam style
@ionic elbow If its a timegated node, you need to wait for the right time of the eorzean day
no @novel parcel
welp
@glad comet No its regular one , it was for Gc daily
is anyone's in game discord overlay working? mine stopped working after the patch
Check if its timegated.
I think it was calles Dorman ore
Or if you're looking in the right place
also i just unlocked fire 3 as a lvl 35 BM,do black mages no longer uses fire 1 and blizzard 1 once they unlocked blizzard/fire 3 and 4?
You may not be looking in the right place
b1/f1 are still used
Sometimes the wiki coordinates are wrong or outdated
!faq blmleveling
@acoustic osprey ^
what is armory bonus as it pertains to potd?
use this as a cheatsheet to help with leveling rotations
Its not timed but I will check again as well
oh nice
i see that the rationale is that fire 1 is used when low on mp
then you rotate to umbral ice
also B1 not used later on since you have B3 with umbral ice MP regen
okok i think i got the hang of it
Hunter-Scholars do what? Are they helpful?
Why can’t I use freeze even though I’m level 35
hey just started (Level9) and I'm just walking around and doing every sidequest I see and I'm starting to burnout already, is it ok for me to skip a lot of the sidequests I see and just do what looks like important ones or will I want to go back to them later?
You can safely ignore any 
Yeah you don't need to do sidequests
oh thank god
hunter-scholars give hunts on how to spawn S rank hunt mobs
are the important ones and
unlock additional content
ok thats really helpful, thanks!
Side quests will burn you out super quick
I’ve done like no side quests but mandatory ones and had no problems
is the savage/ normal eden 5+ loot limit removed?
Normal Verse limit is, Savage is not
cheers
yeah i was starting to realize that and I was like "there no way this is what the game is like right" because it's all like, "talk to this person" or "kill 8 little things"
You talk to Hunter-Scholars and the marks spawn?
no, the hunter-scholars give hints on how you can spawn them
Ah, I didn’t know you can spawn them. I thought they auto spawn on a timer . What is an Example of a hint?
How do you get more than the 140 storage?
S ranks have specific conditions that have to be met in order for them to spawn in addition to their window being open
Oh really =/
some conditions are throw away like 100 items or not let any fates fall
POTD glitched for my friend
+$2 per additional retainer per month
he tp'd to a boss room after we used a cairn of return
is there anything we can do about it?
yes @white sinew
Does the 100% xp boost on server end once you get 1 skill 70 or applies to ANY skill under 70?
If you swap back to a job lower than lvl 70, Road to 70 will still work
That's nice
Road to 70 will be lost when the following two conditions are met
A world is no longer Preferred, and
B character with buff is older than 90 days
crap I wasn't paying attention. does the answer to the crime and punishment quest matter?
90day real time?
Ah, so you dont get it again if over 90 day and server becomes preferred
It is a one time buff given to new characters
You can only
- get it (make new character in Preferred world)
- lost it (met those two condition)
- not get it at all (make new character in non preferred world)
you cannot regain it
Server changing from whatev back to Preferred doesn't affect existing characters
Doesn't matter what they have before
Anyone else having optional item delivery delays?
Is it an account wide item?
Is your mail box full?
Nope, always keep it clean as soon as the items arrive
I've gotten 2 things through mog mail both things took like 6h or more to get
Probably just congested
But less than 24h
Cuz everyone is trying to play
I see I see, ok I'll check it out tomorrow then. Ty I thought it was only my end
Does anyone know what Ryne's outfit is, so i can glam it, if i can
did they change the the location were i can buy carbontwine?
they removed them
Now when you spend poetics for gears, you get the augmented version directly
so i can upgrade my ironworks ?
unfortunately ironworks was not added to calamity salvagers to be augmented if you had the unaugmented version before 5.3, just have to either purchase the augment verison or roll with unaugmented
Lv20 Glad quest, 8 minutes
Lv25 Glad quest, 7 minutes
Lv30 Glad quest, 10 minutes
Lv30 PLD quest, 4 minutes
Lv35 PLD quest, 5 minutes
Lv40 PLD quest, 5 minutes
Total: 40 minutes
I teleported/used mount/skipped dialogue/skipped cutscenes/vesperbay scroll/anything to go as fast as possible
Got about half a level, several skills, 10% more HP, few gear upgrades
Why are you typing this here
how long does a tank LB3 last
i just fucking bought ironworks before this patch
Like 5-7s ish
ty
@raven crown Why are you rushing?
@lucid birch they have been saying about this change for weeks now
its really not that big of a deal
You can earn back the poetics in no time
ironworks will last until you get HQ 52 white gear or 53 dungeon gear
Can multi seat mount fly if one of the people onboard has not unlocked flying in that area?
Yes
@drifting ruin all i care about is dungeons/trials/primals/etc
so now that the free trial is expanded can i make a Ninja if I unlock it?
You could get a Ninja even before this expanded free trial
You only to complete a lvl 10 class quest and visit the rogue guild in Limsa. lvl 15 story is needed if and only if you are on a different starting city.
Then at lvl 30, you can promote rogue to a ninja
Keep an eye on your gathering log
brashgold is lakeland 2am/pm
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ITS RIGHT NOW
guys i'm going insane. whenever i'm in combat i hear a super loud typewriter sound every 30s-1 min. first happened in the new alliance raid so i just thought it was a sound effect from that, but i just heard it again 5-6 times in the new dungeon. haven't heard it questing or walking around, or outside ffxiv. anyone else hearing this or am i on my own ;-;
levinstrike aethersand?
Limit break gauge full?
like "chk chk chk chk sliiide
never noticed, but i never heard that sound effect before
@pearl wharf Viera forest, right side, existing empheral botanist node, forgot time
didn't sound like the LB gauge at all unless they changed it in the last 2 patches (was on a break)
reduces from levin mint, 4am rak'tika
Hi would anyone here know why the game is asking for 47455 MB more of space ? [MAC]
Did you just register for expansion?
hmm actually its on 3 nodes
I just purchased the entire collection so yea
4am raktika, 8pm kholusia and 12pm lakeland @pearl wharf
Yeah, expansion data
Maps, quests, boss fights, cutscenes, etc
The base game has every items you can see in the base game area, this even include endgame armors and weapons
But that doesn't include expansion quest data, maps, monsters, bosses, etc etc
so end result... delete more?
Make space yes
thank you, is there a guide to playing from an external HD?
Whats the best way to made money on golden saucer
I'm new does it matter what race I pick to play with friends?
@lofty python pick based on personal preference
@lofty python n0
Thanks guys ❤️
you don't make money on saucer basically, you use saucer to get the cool stuff exclusive to it
Do u only get books from savage
Oof there goes my dyeable chest gead
@warped nest do you know someone in here who might?
Gear
Books are basically your completion reward
I just realized you can play multiple characters at once on a single account but only on different servers
Ah i see
@coarse belfry not sure, sorry
Is fishing used for anything outside of cooking?
np thanks for helping!
Sry i meant mgp
@plain python at high level, you can produce aether sand from fishes
What about Clan, does that decide who I can play with?
These are used as raw materials for high end crafting
I see
@lofty python Until world selection, nothing prohibits interaction
no, race/deity/birthday is all just fluff and personal choice @lofty python
or affects your character in any meaningful way
Ahhh easy thank you 🙂
it's all just fluff
Your starting class determines your starting city and thus who you can play with for the first 15 levels
Ahh okay so I need to pick kujata
if you have friends starting at the same time as you, you may consider coordinating starting city
also different MSQ until certain point
Is that where your friends are?
Yeah she's had the game for a long time, just asleep at the moment :S
Is this game better played with someone who knows stuff or better solo?
Slightly different MSQ in the beginning because the different cities has slightly different umm... People in charge
@regal vapor either or is fine
I had a few friends who'd been playing for a while on my server but we didn't do much together besides chat until they joined me for the end of ARR
@warped nest ok thank you, trying out the game for the first time with the new Free Trial and what not

Eeeeek, is the deity important guess not?
just fluff
Easy
Where does the humanoid-looking mech mount come from?
Big metal man where your character's head sticks out at the top?
Pvp
if you're talking about the one show during the LL, its not available
@twilit arch much appreciated
Where do I get crystarium gear from again?
eulmore
Any idea where to get this emote?
Dwarf beast tribe most likely
so i got a fuck ton of mats in my inventory
should i sell or dispose of them, or just keep them with my retainer
by mats i mean like the drops from stray mobs,boar hide etc
so the road to 70 buff thats usually on my server is just gone now?
Preferred servers change every patch or so
As this is a new patch, the preferred servers changed
well thats a bummer
Characters created when the world was preferred retain their Road to 70 buff for 90 days after character creation
Or, if the world is still preferred 90 days later, until the world stops being preferred. Whichever happens later.
thanks for the clarification
So where the heck did they relocate the umbrellas and such
its under fashion accessories in the general menu
Character > Fashion accessories
is this important?
@twilit arch do you know where in lakeland and kholusia for the other two nodes?
ok lakeland is in here
x25.2 y29.9
@obsidian patio Belated reply: It's not possible to have completed the Dwarf Quest line so fast, it's only been one day. The quests are timed.
Yes I know
Well I saw this in game :x
So that can't be it.
It's a bipedal humanoid mech mount about the size of the robot gorilla one, and your character's head is sticking out at the top.
100 wins on onsal hakkair
i have a friend that is just now starting the game to play with me, but my data center isnt allowing them to join - is there a way i can recruit them to get in my data center?\
hey guys, im at 422 item level and need to increase to complete quests
how do i do that

You can use the world visit system, or the party finder to invite them to the party
that is if they are on the same dc
@queen holly what lvl?
@alpine shadow im at 422 atm and looking to just increase it in general, but atm i need 430 for a quest
Yeah, but like you are lvl80
If so, have you tried grabbing the ilvl430 gear from gerolt
or whatever his name is
where is he located if i may ask
but your average item level is 420+ because you probably still hve leveling gear on
Or just buy neo ishgardian from the mb
The Tempest (x34.2,y25.7)
you can either:
- farm latest dungeon for drops, amaurot drops ilvl 430 iirc
- buy deepshadow armor with tomestones of phantasmagoria, vendor at eulmore
- buy neo ishgardian at marketboard
- farm eden gate normal
Gear set name
Damn why do we need manufactured coins for the crystaline gear upgrades
not much, or none at all
you need quite a lot more, but doing any lv 80 dungeons will net you some
and phantasmagoria isn't weekly limited so you can farm them
when does the sale for the complete edition end?
It should be under a million for a full set unless prices spiked
The current price for complete ilvl 480 gear is less than 500 k without rings and 1milliom with rings
That's super less
I bought it for 3 million a piece lol
That 1 million number is for the complete set with rings
500 k is only for weapon and Armor total
3 million a piece is super overpriced even for day 1
where is the auction house if i may ask?
kk ty
Np
@alpine shadow I spend total 20 million on rings + Armor + weapon lol went broke after that
Hey guys I’m just starting out , which jobs are the most needed
ast
how is it worse then my current wep?
ahhh
i don't think people sell NQ anyways
So wait yeah when does this sale end? https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/564956/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download
hey uh do you guys know if theres an orchestrion roll for the shadowbringers piano theme ?
is there any way to change default keys for roleplay sections
Is Fray always female or is it dependent on your character?
...
nice im at 475 ilvl now
Probably august 19th
Hi!
I've bought FFXIV with steam (starter edition). Now I'd like to install the game on my Mac, because my PC will be unavailable for a few weeks. However, when I download the launcher and log into my Square account, it asks me to enter the registration code. Why is this the case? I have a valid account with playtime and everything.
You need mac version, not pc
okay, wtf
@slate crow just carry on doing the story, you'll understand fray
In case I do pay more money to play the same game, what do I need to buy? And do I need to buy all expansions twice if I want to play them?
Uh no, he owned steam version
I’m past the part where you find out who Fray was. I’m in the second string of quests with Sidurgu
If he wants to play on mac he has to buy another copy
Oh ye, just read his post piecemeal
is eden, savage hard for a new player?
And that answers your question about fray then, just avoid spoiling here
where can i turn in my crafted 480 stuff for 490?
Savage is not that hard but it depends on individual player skill
yea will do
It's a bit harder than extreme trials if you've done any of those
So I do need to buy every expansion and the base game again? Will I - at least - be able to access my characters?
I think you can access characters but not sure
Guess I'll have to ask the support. Is it responsive, or do I need to wait a few weeks?
Varies wildly
But it should be a quick response because they don't need to actually do anything
Oh, and you use same character on both chronos?
Yes
If you pay for Starter Edition on Mac, then you can play all ARR content on Mac, but no expansion contents.
I see. But from steam it could be diff
And if your only character happens to log out in expansion region, you just can't log in with thag characters
This is so weird. Guess Apple wants to have it's share?
It is license
What happens if I decide to play on Windows without Steam? Do I have to again buy another copy?
Ouch. I'm sick of ESO, but the way this game is distributed, I want to go right back... 😦 But thanks for your answers!
Having a consistent audio issue, all my in game and out of game audio appears to be working fine. Voice acted cutscenes just sound super distant and quiet
It is simple for people who play on one platform
About five months ago I paid for two extra retainers. Took a break for a while, and after re-subbing the retainers aren't on the mogstation anywhere? Do I have to go back and just pay for the two again manually or is there an automatic thing somewhere I'm missing
It is a pain in the ass in everything else
I thought it'd just be included in the sub when I returned
yo how much until the event begins?
It is probably faster to Google it
Than me trying to remember it off the top of my head
@umbral lance check your sub status. Probably need to reactivate them
@umbral lance you have to manually reinclude it yourself afaik
I think stuff like that drops if you unsub
Do we have a list of things that they changed in ARR’s story in the patch?
A list of all the things? Most likely no
Having a consistent audio issue, all my in game and out of game audio appears to be working fine. Voice acted cutscenes just sound super distant and quiet
is the unreal trial's difficulty more similar to an extreme or a normal? all i know is its scaled up to 80 instead of scaling us down but that doesn't say much about the difficulty level
Okay then. I’ll ask another question. What did they do to the Titan Feast questline?
Ex
nice
How come I cannot complete the guildhest quest?
@warped nest Roger, ty. Was just making sure I wasn't gonna accidentally buy another two retainers for a total of four additional ones.
How come I cannot complete the guildhest quest?
@silver dome choose either reward first
