So
thanks lchronos
on the moonfire faire patch notes it says previous event items are available
is that true or
Fireworks are so yes
Yes
If you didn't know already, completing the Nier Automata raid will give you coins to trade for the upgrade mats too
Old seasonal stuff always goes on Mogstation
That's limited to one per week though
damn misleading patch notes
Good evening everyone, question. Is there anyone in here that can make me a good set of level 70 armor once I hit 70 while I gather up poetics and get threw story to get the trade ones?
The what now?
you can buy a level 70 set of gear with poetics and cutout spending gil
are you levelling a second class or your first class?
I am, but I cannot trade for it till I get there in the story
Just stick with whatever armor you have, your armor just need to be enough for the
level
First class, Dark knight
If you have a lvl 80 character, and still on lvl 60 story, just lvl 60 armor is fine
no need to use poetics for your first class
The problem is the dungeons as dark knight before 70 I cannot use TBN so enemies hit hard I wanna be as geared as possible
I wouldn't say no need to use poetics for first class...especially as tank.
Your story should give your gear
but msq gear is good enough mostly
how does Sephirot normal stack up to SB/ShB MSQ content?
you can get through the entire story until 80 just using msq drops
I would like more info about the Glamour Dresser. If I put an item in there, is it actually retrievable?
and you only need to buy gear for 80 if you plan on doing raids and stuff
Is it OK to use quick synthesis for leveling crafting? mostly using leaves/tribes
Yes sol
Yes, Solu
You can retrieve it without messing up plates
@vivid thorn one is a trial, other are quests, I dunno how to compare
Sephiroth is a lvl 60 trial
its fine until 20, but when you hit 20 the reccomended thing is to do Ishgard @fervent mist
Added in HW post game
The reason I ask is I have a whole buncha weapons that I'm not using and I don't want to get rid of ones with a nice appearance.
Just toss them in the dresser
Add them to glamour dresser then
It will store them
unless youre gonna drop a solid 1321321312312 billion on materials, stick with ishgard restoration
I meant SB/ShB MSQ trials*
You'll get double exp for turning in HQ items also Carlos.
It should be easier
@gaunt brook Oh really? Didn't realize. luckily i'm only 30 so i'll do ishgard. thanks!!
It is normal difficulty
Is there a hand glam that is a fingerless wrist glove, guess it has a kinda 'ninja' look to it, here is my amazing artistic interpretation of what I want
yeah go ahead
Plus the level sync put you way above what's needed for Sephiroth
theres a bunch of macros you can use to auto craft for you if youd like @fervent mist
I've seen worse hands but I can't think of those kinds of gloves
at least thats how most people i know do it
yeah, do you know the macros?
I was planning on EX but to get to EX I need to clear normal first
If you can't, go to #612757637813239808 and set yourself as a doh/l first
yeah thats the best bet, im just going with my fc leaders macros
hmm fair enough I'll go ask in glamour
just know for the low level ones you may have to use food to boost your stats
Do many weapons share appearances, or are they each a distinct look?
what's the most effective way to use up rested xp for combat jobs? just fate grinding?
makes sense
a lot of basic weapons share appearance
@short sparrow some weapons and armors are reused
Crafting in FFXIV is all about letting others do the heavy lifting and then copying their stuff
I'm just trying to think about how I could keep only items with a distinct look.
Rested exp is percentage based
yeah i will but i'm talkin like
Since a low level dow/m level up super fast, it will burn through the rested exp in no time
You can use garlandtools to see if it shares a model with anything
fates or something else?
Dungeons
The only ilvl 500 rings right now, are Aug Crystarium and Savage rings, right?
hmm ok
Dungeon enemies give the best exp (aside from lvl 50/60/70 dungeons)
@faint flare that's what I was looking for, thank you.
yes @leaden ginkgo
ThankYeh!
||Crystal Tower has to be completed before Heavensword is unlocked?||
Do you guys think 3cp outweighs 9 control for overmelding
depends if 3cp will even do anything for you
It could making the 490 gear
sounds good to me
the whole point of melding cp is so you do extra crafting actions you couldnt do otherwise
i mean
if itll click you over to a new multiple of like
50 or 100
go with the cp
or whatever it is
idk crafting costs
just do a couple trial synthesis then see if maybe that 3 cp was gonna save you
since trials now a thing
how many chocobo greens can you carry at once?
a lot
Man you should be able to respond to tells as a free trial, makes me feel like a dick when i cant respond >.>
99 in a stack I think?
Neat.
i'll spend all my trial gil on greens lol
where is a good level 45ish area to buy vendor armor
First do your job quest at 45 for some free pieces
is there a reason to spellcasts getting interrupted if I start casting right after I stop moving?
because you're still moving technically
You are still moving from the server end
it's as if the game wants me to stand still for a specific period of time
@elfin kelp Each green lasts 30 minutes, 999 of them would last you like 500 hours
I see
just spam the button when you stop moving
What's the minor detail I'm missing when I hear "Summoner and Red Mage are the only classes that can raise dead players" and then learn Raise as a Lv12 Conjurer? (I'm sure it's a simple oversight, but it's been impossible to Google accurately, lol.)
so I can abuse moving at 7/8 of my cast bar, but server can abuse me while I stop moving, fair enough
Sounds like they meant non-healers
DPS who can raise
Ahh, thanks for the quick reply, @obsidian patio and @warped nest. Much appreciated!
hey quick question im a lvl 31 thaumaturge and i completed my job quests and completed the ms how do i unlock black mage?
still confused about that
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
i have but i havent gotten the soul?
@queen holly Might need to progress your Main Scenario questline a bit further, or you haven't spoken with the Black Mage NPC yet perhaps.
@leaden ginkgo this works both way, you can start moving when your spell cast is a hair from completion and it will still go off
Is there a way to see my ping?
i have completed the main scenario quest line already
Not in game

@wispy lily where is the black mage npc?
you can find the server ip though, in the Windows resource panel
nvm found the npc
For future reference, on your top left, there should be a UI with
on it
It will list your MSQ and job quest there
If they are available
Aww, i cant change my Au Ra horn type with the appearance changer?
yea ik but as i said i already completed the MS the thaumaturge is just my alt job
if I initiate the use of fantasia can I back out without using it
Can you even die from falling in this game?
here I was climbing down things properly

the only time you'll die from falling is if you're in combat
and fall from high enough
Free trial can't use the world visit system right ?
they can
Ohh neat
Is the free trial not available to consoles?
@drifting ruin click there, then the Network tab, find the TCP connection of ffxiv_dx11.exe and you'll see the Remote Address in the list. You can then open a cmd window and ping to that address to check your ping.
It is
@leaden ginkgo Yeah, I figured it out, thanks tho
no problem
hello, my friend is a arcanist and i am a conjuror... how soon can we be united? and how do we do that?
we both just started 
just click teleport and meet somewhere
not until after lvl 15
around lvl 15 in the main scenario quest is when y'all should meet up
ask for an air taxi and they can rendezvous you two
oof ok, thank you
So can you map keybinds to a mouse and keyboard set up on PS4?
can't they do hunting logs together before lv 15?
they can but their hunting logs are in their respective starting locations
arcanist is in limsa, conjurer's are in gridania
arcanist can't leave limsa until they've got airship access
ooh

unless they're in a free company with a house they can teleport to
is Holy normally used for constant AoE damage? or just as an emergency button?
yes you should be using holy during trash pulls
what level are you?
what was the justification for locking the expansion jobs behind a level restriction? why don't they let people play them at lvl 1?
are you sure your armory buff is still up?
probably your machinist is now your highest level job, and you lost the armory buff you had before
Armory buff doesn't go on duty exp
@violet star if I want to use Gunbreaker for ShB
It means I would need to grind it from lv 1 to lvl 70
Probably so people wouldn't have to grind from level 1, yeah
stupid question: what do i spend Poetics on now?
On the dev side, it also means they don't need to design job quests from lvl 1-60
Relic stuff, items to sell etc
(Gunbreaker start at 60, for reference)
!faq poetics
nifty. thank you.
So I know the free trial has been expanded, but does it still have that dumb text cap?
Text what?
Hey so I’m playing cnj how do I cycle through my ally’s
Controller: should be dpad up down
Free trial players used to be subject to a cap on all their messages.
Keyboard mouse, dunno
They couldn't type more than a brief sentence.
I’m on keyboard
for kbm, you can use f1-f8 to target each party member
or click on the party list
Alternatively, for a fast scroll and then back to the enemies you have alt+scroll
Yeah but I’m not trying to use f1 keys is there a way to just cycle through with one button like going through enemy’s
i think cycle is be unbound by default, try looking in keybinds
@rugged flicker can't say I've ever heard about that, honestly, in any iteration of the free trial
just can't send tells
OH
I think that was it.
Might have been confused.
Anyway, can they still not do that?
hello guys I was wondering: do you know how many UMBRITES I need for the Summoner's anima weapon? 😄
you need between 60-80 umbrite
What do I spend company seals on when there's nothing I need
how much you need exactly depends on how lucky you get with bonus rolls
Oh yeah hmm... Surely there's some sort of system they could put in place for the free trial crowd to prove that they're human? 
buy glamour prisms and sell them on the mb
thank you kaelwryn!
Glamour prisms are like 200 gil each
Captcha every time you want to whisper someone
a stack of 99 prisms will net you 20k
so easy passive money
i also use them to buy ventures
@limber walrus one sec
the new recipes are the new lvl 80 glamour items (southern seas shirt/skirt/trousers/shoes), the i490 crafter/gatherer gear (aetheste), and the new primal crafted items (tsukuyomi/seiryu/suzaku)

hm, I remember someone said to get gold pieces from quest rewards as a small get-around the 300k gil cap. Is there something else that you can stock up? 😮
Punch in the code
thank u!
If you are on PS4, just run the game
because they didn't want people stocking up on certain materials before hand
its how it has always been
recipes are always later sometime after the patch drops
im on pc
i see just mogstation
and two, once you unlock the master recipes you get them automatically
Those who aren't able to craft generally have no reason to know unless they ask a friend who can craft
so its not like its really an issue
if you're not lvl 80, you can't craft most of that stuff anyway
does shadowbringers appear on payment history?
Yes, but the advantage set up a few days before can be very damaging
so its a moot issue on that front. Two, glamour items often in demand so the primal crafted are usually going to be selling well
It is to avoid giving people massive advantage
then you would be a max level crafter already
and h ave the master recipes to begin with
That's your opinion
And I'm just gonna cut to the chase
If you still want to argue
where do i get the registration code after purchasing?
Where did you got it from?
then go complain on the official forums, and not here
Steam? In your steam library
nope just SE Client
we're not SE, and we don't decide whats in the patch notes
SE store, would be email
I see
if you're purchasing with a SE store account, it should also be in your order history
and i just need to click on manage order right?
not sure what's going on but i literally cannot find my moonfaire stuff i got last night. I checked my inventory, armoury, armoire, glamour desser, retainers, sales history, everything. It's just randomly gone from my inventory
is there maybe a glitch or bug or something that came out recently wher eit doesn't show up or something?
wait its weird, if i bought it from NA can i still use it on EU?
is your mogstation account Eu?
so i have to refund it?
@thick elm try doing /isearch summer's and see if anything pops up
yeah you would need to get a refund
the game codes are region locked so you need to make sure you're buying a code that is appropriate for your account's region
are you looking at your armoury chest?
yes
right click on one of the items that popped up on isearch and click on search
should tell you where it is
can I acess samurai with the free trial?
no
kk thank you
well instead of waiting 14 days for a refund
i'll just level up a new character good thing its only lvl 10
k i got nothing with the isearch thing but i restarted FF and rechecked everything and it was in my armoire???
like i did the isearch thing
it had a result, but it didn't show in my armoire
but then i restart FF and search again ,and it's in ther
hm weird but atleast you found it
just starting out this week, found out i have more friends who play on a different region and completely different data centers as well, completely out of luck if i want to play with them I guess?
@thick elm do you happen to play on multiple platform?
Like steam yesterday and PS4 today?
nope, excvlusively windows PC, direct launch no steam
Nvm then
i dyed my summer stuff, if i put it in the glamour dresser it doesn't reset dyes right?
You have two options: either start a new character on their datacenter or transfer your character @fierce cobalt
just removes the materia, aetherial bonuses etc
the glamour dresser doesn't remove dyes, yes. The armoire however, does
thanks Kael, tho that seems unfeasible considering i want to stay on current datacenter/would have make multiple characters, but thanks for making it clear
guess ill be one of those people chanting for cross region play while im here haha
but i guess its been years already, so i wont get my hopes up
yoshi-p has discussed wanting to do cross data center stuff
How do I change to ninja class?
but that is something that's very much into the future, if it ever happens
I’m already lv10
need to complete your lv 10 class quest to unlock the ability to switch classes
Do u know how I start that quest?
it takes 14 days for a refund right?
nvm i answered my own question anyway is there any problem with SE's Registration page?
hm not that im aware of. are you getting an error of some kind
Guess I need to progress with main quest then?
The
UI track two type of quests
Inside the nice fancy bar, it is the msq
Below the UI, it is the job/class quest for your current job
You don't need to do more msq
You just need to complete the lvl 10 class quest for your Marauder or your Arcanist, assuming you picked those to start in Limsa
Axe in the Stone is the job quest
yup im getting an error that say
On the Summerford is the MSQ
cannot proceed with this transaction
There's 2 quests there, the MSQ one is the big text, and the little text is your job quests.
i'll just finish this tomorrow
remind me, for custom deliveries, it's like, what. 3 for the first affection, six for the next/the rest after?
can you start a fresh character at floors 51-60?
how to get pld? Im lv 30 already
ty kael, was pretty sure but not 100%. since i'm maxed on my crafters i'm just gonna get set up for the new one rq lol
have you complete the main scenario quest "Sylph Management" (lv20) @karmic patrol
How do I reset a character back to 51-60 after completing 60
oh ok
Potd? Just make a new save
is speed running quests fine? or do i need to grind to be on par?
(Not skipping the story ofc)
Why couldn't I just make a new save on a fresh character then? I'm confuzzled
@karmic patrol shouldn't need to grind for your primary job
when you say fresh character, do you mean a newly made character or are you talking about alt class/job
because saying "fresh character" is confusing
I meant the msq
That's what I answered
fresh character implies a completely new character that hasn't done potd 1-60
oh ok
my b
thanks!
ok then you should be able to select 51-60 once you've cleared floor 50
upon either resetting the save or starting a new
will it auto advance the potd job up to level 60? or will it start at level 1 again
@karmic patrol only need to grind to catch up in level if you want to use a different combat job to do your story
floor 51 starts you at lvl 60
i see

Alrightyyy thank you!
👌
floor 51 starts you at lvl 60
@twilit arch Cool, thank you!
have you complete the main scenario quest "Sylph Management" (lv20) @karmic patrol
@twilit arch lol you were asking me i thought you're telling me. Im still at the into a copper hell msq
that's the issue then
How do map parties work? How do I find one to join? Got some advice earlier to try then out to make some Gil
yeah you need to progress your msq then
try to keep your main story/msq at around the same level you are (when you can, no stress if you outlevel it) for reasons like that
If you naturally gain a lot of exp and out level your MSQ, that's fine
if you're on a preferred server then you'll always be a lil overleveled
But never stop msq to grind exp/level to out level msq/dungeon
One more question - POTD doesn't seem worth it.. It took 22 minutes to get one level, 21 -> 22
22 minutes to complete 51-60, and that's worth a level
@keen fable it is worth it for DPS, assuming Dps have worse queue time for dungeons
I see, im worrying about nothing then
are job quests available after doing that one certain msq?
@keen fable it is worth it for DPS, assuming Dps have worse queue time for dungeons
@warped nest Even with a 10 minute queue, 10 extra minutes for an average of an extra level in a dungeon, 2 levels compared to one, it's still worth it?
for example i try to get my other job to 30 and it just becomes available ?
yes
Yes, Deal
once you've done that msq, the moment you hit lv30 on your class you'll be able to pick up the job quest (assuming ofc you've done all the class quests)
@keen fable The rough estimate is, even if you get 10-15 minutes longer wait time to get in dungeons, dungeons are still worth it. Otherwise, potd/hoh
Emphasis on rough
gotcha
Can you log in FFXIV SE Client with a steam account? What i meant by that is to link steam account with SE account and log in SE client with that SE account
they're separate i believe
Hi all, sorry to ask again but was wondering how map parties work and how I go about finding one to join? Thanks in advance!
separate?
@steel arrow you join by looking at Party Finder
How it works (bit long)
Everyone teleport to a region, then whoever has treasure map in that region call out their coordinates (you can use a online site to figure out yours treasure coordinate)
Then everyone fly there, map owner use Dig (this action is available in Action n Trait window)
And mobs will spawn, kill mobs, chest spawn.
Occasionally, on higher end treasure map, they can open up a portal
Oh OK! It usually just says map party in the party finder? I was looking but didn't see anything obvious
And thank you so much for the explanation!
Can you log in FFXIV SE Client with a steam account? What i meant by that is to link steam account with SE account and log in SE client with that SE account
On each room, you kill some enemies, then a chest will spawn
Map owner can roll Need or Greed, everyone else can roll Greed.
If you, the map owner, feel generous, you can just pass, otherwise you just Need the loot
Don't worry everyone else will get direct rewards like Gil too when the room is cleared
Then you get to pick one of two doors
One of them will lead you to a new room
Another will kick you out.
Rinse and repeat with everyone else's map
Aha thanks for the quick summary!!
The recommendation is to unlock flying in all the regions
It usually just say map party in the party finder description?
So you don't need other players to ferry you around
Ah gotcha
@lavish spade no
rip
helo, whats the point of custom rdelivery
Before max level, gain exp. earn some scrip depends on your level
Max level, earn a lot more scrip (crafter/Gatherer currency)
understood thank you
how do i permanently change the title screen to heavensward? it keeps going back to shadowbringers whenever i close the game
Wait for the dev to change it to how people actually wanted it Razna
is the 24-man gear unique or are there crafted versions with the same look
Unique afaict
wanted to collect them but its kind of a pain in the ass
oh o_o
rip
Depends on the gear
Void Ark, World of Darkness and Dun Scaith gear is craftable
For the most part at least
Void ark and dun is 3.X
WoD is 2.x, the other 2 are 3.x
World of darkness is 2.X
i mean craftable versions
Oooff...
Sharing for New/Returning player visibility -
I updated my Daily Weekly Checklist for 5.3. Hope it helps! ❤️
https://accomp.me/ffxiv-daily-weekly-checklist/
huh doesn't seem consistent then
Oh
Ummm.... Does that not count as self-promo?
@hidden tangle just going to note that eden verse is no longer weekly capped for normal mode.
Cheers, I added at the end specifically Savage - but if you think it makes sense to mention Normal is no longer, I can add it.
I would recommend it yes, though should probably note that the blade is still weekly capped but exchange is reduced to 4 instead of 7
Blade from Normal? (I have not raided since 5.0, hehe)
yes, the golden blade of antiquity which can be exchanged for the crystarium weapon
Gotcha, will make a note - thanks!
hello, I dont know if this is the place to ask this, I got the following error and after looking for solutions I found that it is because of vpn issues. The thing is, I dont use a VPN. I don't know if someone can help
hey is Drowning Out the Voices bugged? the last location to use the electromagnetic reader is not there
its above
oh.
there's a small ramp leading up near the crystal
no worries, its easy to miss 🙂
why is Revenant's Toll so busy for not being a main city? is that a hub for something?
It was the endgame hub for 2.x
also several msq happens there, and a few current end-game stuff is there as well
Yeah, basically if it's not in Eulmore or Kugane it's in Mor Dhona
Idyllshire disagrees
well idyllshire's got faux hollows to help make it pop now
Each expansion has a main city (or three in ARR’s case) and an “endgame hub”
Endgame hub is where you go to welp... Do endgame stuff: trade for raiding related items, endgame tomestone trading, endgame gatherer/crafter related activity etc
Is there a reason fireworks are going off in the beginning city?
The argument being made was that the only thing Idyllshire got since HW was Adhkiragh
If you began in Limsa, yes
Fireworks always go off during the moonfire faire
It’s the moonfire faire!
Starting cities have things like Leve, Marketboard, NPC selling leveling gears or materials etc
Our lovely annual celebration of summer and explosives
Do visit Limsa Lominsa at night time too
Ahhh gotcha, thank you!
There will be fireworks over the ocean
Thats sounds pretty!
Lots. Of. Explosives.
Once you’ve reached level 30 on any combat job, you can participate in the seasonal event to earn a fun emote
And that Hawaiian skirt you’ve seen literally everyone wearing today
Ohhh ok! Currently only level 4.5 lol
Can anyone help me run roul
I may have to do that tomorrow @halcyon glen I might be asking for help. I'm level 37.
Quest starts at the Aftcastle in Limsa Lominsa
Hullo! Can anyone give their opinion on what gear/set you would say is the first one you should grind for in the game? I played ARR and part of HW ages ago when SB first came out. I feel like I went through the entirety of ARR just using the gear you happen to get as reward/drops from MSQ and dungeons. I don't think I actually stopped blazing ahead until I hit HW and I vaguely remember working on Shire gear.
In short, if I'm just casual MSQ player can I just run with generic gear as long as I'm hitting the iLevel reqs in the Duty Finder? What was the first set of gear you would say someone should bother obtaining the whole set of?
Okay sounds good. @halcyon glen we will how it goes. How long does it take?
As long as you meet ilvl requirements, that's fine
There is one exception
If your gear can be High Quality (not dungeon or tomestone gears)
Then you want them as High Quality
is there set times the tamamo fates spawn
ive been waiting around for about an hour and havent seen it
Normal Quality gears have neutered stat, while your ilvl is correct, your stats won't be
bozja is which patch?
5.35 I think

Is there a way to turn off the sound when clicking an ability thats on CD?
/actionerror off
Ty!!
is there any way to figure whether walk/sprinting or mount to a closeby gathering node will be more efficient? factoring in the time in takes to summon mount
@warped nest Thanks! :D
im doing the new even
event
ive done the fate 3 times but it wont count, anyone have any ideas? :/
A few hours again, someone said you need to use the action until the bomb reach 2 stack?
Or something
When the bomb has 2 stack, your ability heal it
heal the bomb?
(this is from what I read)
i only used one skill the whole time
thats probably the reason
im dumb lol ill try that thank you
I can't be hundred percent certain
i was using the 2 skill the whole time
ok
Good luck
Yeah, gotta use both skills or it doesnt count
thank you both
What is the preferred server bonus? Can you still play with friends of the same DC?
can i buy scaevan even when my MSQ still on 62?
or the MSQ has to be 70 to get them?
its a massive exp boost until 70 for that server. you can play with anyone on the same datacenter @leaden ginkgo
i read wiki and it says the npc is on rhalgr and i believe i reached that place on MSQ lv 60
No, you have to beat the main quest "Stormblood" to unlock the vendors
The final quest of 4.0
can you only kill shiva (unreal) ones per week? for faux hollows?
or can you farm her?
You can get retries on her from the sink-a-ship minigame
ah okl
Is there a resource to help pick a tank or healer
Ugh why must Ruin and Ruin II not be upgrades, now i have to keep swapping them when i get de-leveled heh
...they should automatically change into their lower forms
You should be using Ruin 1 when you don't need to move, it costs less mana and deals more damage
Oh it does?
oh i see, its instant, derp i missed that part
!action ruin
Idk I think playstyle and fantasy matter more than looks cool personally
Unless they play the same
You could look at Larryzaur's Shadowbringers job video for a general overview at 80
I'll look at that ty
hey guys, new to the game. are there are better days to queue for alliance raids? past 2 days i've hit a wall where i can't progress through the main story because of the crystal raid quest line. i waited 3 hours yesterday and an 1 hour and 30 minutes right now for the syrcus tower and we're always missing dps and healers
hey guys, i'm a bit confused with the 5.3 patch note. I don't have an account right now, in order to play the game completely, should I buy the FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION?

@ripe nymph use the free trial
For enemy AOE attacks, do I have to wait until the attack animation is done or the ring goes away to not take damage?
@leaden ginkgo but if i want to play the game after that, I still have to buy the complete edition, correct?
Hi guys, how to remove relinquish land? I already store all the furnishing items but still can't do it
Yes
Yes but you'll be able to go through base game and Expansion 1
@regal vapor when the cast bar finishes works in 99,9% of cases. Only very specific attacks are based on animation
but because the complete edition is on sale right now, do you recommend buying it?
Ok, thanks!
Actually not the first time I play the game though. Gave my previous account to a friend
Oh it's on sale didn't know let me see
@pure marlin are you trying to do it as a tank?
Still sounds weird that queues are that long unless you play at dead hours
i get off work around 8pm pdt time
Every alliance raid only need 3 tanks out of 24 players, so they have longer queues for that
So I saw the one that gives all dlc is half price very worth imo
You would get a much faster queue
cool. thanks a lot
thanks
i'm just gonna buy it anyway
unless there is a cheaper way to afford SB lol
I want to buy it but i know as soon as i have to pay monthly, its gonna make me feel like i HAVE to play >.>
Free Trial means i can go a week of not playing and it wont matter Lol
You don't want to buy Stormblood since Shadowbringers comes with it for no extra cost
There might be some confusion now lol
haven't touched the game for years
SB is the general abbreviation for Stormblood, which was last expansion
All old expansions are tacked on the new one for no extra cost, so buying the old ones directly loses you money
Hi can someone help.. I'm unable to relinquish land. It said that The Estate Hall and furnishings must be removed.. But i already removed all of em
so when i check the square enix store
The SE store should only have Shadowbringers available
they only have the option to buy SB for $20, or the complete edition (based game + HW + SB + SB) for $30
wait when i said SB i meant shadowbringers
sorry lol
Ohhh
i think Shadowbringers is ShB? or something :p
Ye, that's the generally accepted term
just realizing storm blood is also SB lol
my bad haven't played for years i'm a bit outdated
Ye, so just do what saves you the most money
Arr then hw then sb then shb
the sale is till the 19th?
Yeah
Theres also a complete edition for 30$, i think it comes with 30 days?
but i dont think ShB has game time
Shadowbringers itself doesnt
Correct, the 30 days of free game time comes with the base game
Complete comes with Starter and Shadowbringers
Starter, aka base game (and HW now), comes with game time
Wish i had an account that it was only 9.99 for sub >.>

What guides would you recommend for efficiently multiclassing in 5.3 (several combat & most crafts) to avoid backtracking? Which crafts are hardest to level (saving quest turn in for those)?
And they become more expensive as they get apart in levels
Keep them all around the same level and you can gear them all together
been a while since a MMO actually kicked my ass at low levels, gj ff14 xD
so all DoL share all gear and best to level together?
i went wild when i started and now my dol%doh classes are extremely level mismatched
If i have never done the fulmination savage raid before can i do the iconoclasm savage raid or do i have to complete them in order?
@finite swift Is that 1-80 in 2 days possible on a fresh trial account?
Well, 60 since its trial :p
Ugh. Always hated fishing every game I've played
That might be the one I save quest xp for then
Question: Is it possible to buy FFXIV Collectors Edition and keep the code without using it asap?
I'm a returning player and was curious if I start a new character on my old account can I still play through the story again to relearn the game mechanics and everything
Because I think I remember since I finished it with my main character playing msq didn't give exp on other characters
If i have never done the fulmination savage raid before can i do the iconoclasm savage raid or do i have to complete them in order?
@stark delta you have to complete them in order every week. however if you manage to join a party for iconoclasm it will auto complete and forfeit all your rights to loot on the other 2 floors for the week
I'm just looking for a way to replay the instance for Sleep Now In Sapphire. Don't see any NPCs in the Lochs that are helpful on that front.
I'm a returning player and was curious if I start a new character on my old account can I still play through the story again to relearn the game mechanics and everything
@edgy flax you will have to complete the story all the way through if you want to play a new character
Ty
How does gearing work in this game? A link to a guide is fine
Oof kk, so there is no good way for me to relearn the mechanics? I just need to get used to battle again
i don't think the current trial series has NG+ yet, so you probably won't be able to replay the instance until its finished
Ah, crap. Good point. Thanks anyway.
honestly if you want to play on your already made character
one thing you could do is go through the dungeons from the beginning one by one to easy yourself back into it @edgy flax
!faq gearguide
@leaden ginkgo
Ty fellas
Ah ok, because when I login to my old main im overwhelmed with all the skills I can't remember and how to play the character well
@edgy flax @little swift Might I also suggest utilizing the Squadron system via your grand companies?
near a striking dummy
Are striking dummies in all the main cities?
thats assuming he's ranked up high enough to have squadrons unlocked AND leveled
they're in peoples houses and in the first area you go to
in the story
middle la noscea/ central shroud/ western thanalan iirc
Kk , thank you I appreciate the info.
Mm, fair. I still highly recommend it for approaching new jobs if you're not keen on exploring it with other players.
no i definitely agree, but its not a bar everyone has met
@edgy flax dungeons limit your skills to the level cap
whereas dummies are easily more accessiblle
Do all old dungeons in order I guess?
that was my first suggestion yes
you will be limited to lv18
and have fewer skills
Honestly I may try another character because I remember feeling kinda stressed about being a healer and letting people die. I'm just used to playing a healer type in mmos but this is definitely the most mutilplayer dungeon influenced game I've played
I have everything at 80 and I wipe people when I try healing 
the problem is mostly knowing all the mp content, which i dont as new player XD
so i just went with summoner for now 😛
Shit happens, no need to overthink stuff
true, toxic communities shape these fears
the bluequests you can skip for now are those that have Leves of X or So You Want to be Y
class/job quests are mandatory
and bluequests in general unlock something
the so you want to be ones unlock other jobs
yes
you exchange the currency you get from the hunts for materia
so for example using the SHB hunts
you trade them at the nut vendor for materia grade 7/8
You also get materia clusters for every a and s rank in ShB
To a point
It increases the pool of available items from quick ventures
Tome gear
Ye
!faq retainerbp
are servers ok?
for ninja accessories: should i go for aiming or slaying? or something else
GC seals is a better source for venture tokens, but yes
i'm at level 21 CRP and trying to do ishgard but not anywhere near the reccomended stats in the guide. i see online people talking about nq gear from crafting vendors being sufficient. where do i get that? i have the cotton kurta set but it's not good enough
I would guess any vendor in the starter cities
No, squadrons are automatically geared
@small atlas Aiming for Ninja, since they are dex based
It should also say on the gear that NIN can equip it
where is the item vendor for the moonfire faire?
Not for a carpenter
Is it a specific quest in zones that give you increased mount speed, or is it a certain amount?
where can I buy more items from past moonfire events?
how do I participate in the ishgard restoration? I couldn't find a quest
I unlocked the first one
@leaden ginkgo on the summer isle where the fate is
but there is another since the patch isn't it?
ah thanks mate
oh nvm it's the old one
with patch 5.31 they will add another one
nvm
How do I get more Hotbars?
Character config>hotbar settings click to activate them
Thanks!
@granite swan yeah, I bought the new items, but the ad reads that certain items available during previous iterations of the event can be purchased, but I cannot see them
Usually just fireworks
@oak ice thank you, i just wanted to make sure
How the heck do i resub
SE changed the whole mogstation
I feel like a true grandma rn
they only changed the item store
it should be on the first screen you get after login
it should be on the first screen you get after login
@green grail it didn’t bring me there
your account -> subscription renewal
what should i do at lvl 50 about gear?
unlock dungeons and stuff and you get tomes of poetics from them, and with poetics you can buy i130 gear in the major cities
there's a vendor right next to limsa aetheryte
your account -> subscription renewal
@green grail it only shows my characters

can you send a screenshot
why is it only magic users r doing the new dungeon
i wanna be paired with someone that dont hve to compete with loot
what area is sultana's breath apartment?
@green grail
you're in the item store not mogstation
!faq mogstation
ree kupo
FINAL FANTASY XIV専用サービス管理ページ「モグステーション」です。
Didn’t they change the mogstation into the item store ?
Hi where I can sell this gear?
My bad then
no, they just changed the store
Thx for the help
any vendor should be good in a city or something @river solar
No
@coarse pollen depends what you're "rating", some mechanics in ultimate are simpler than some savage mechanics, but it's the length of the fight at ~16-19 minutes, combined with long prog that can take months and people getting annoyed at each other, bored with mechanics and starting to make simple mistakes on earlier phases and so on that really makes ultimates a lot more difficult than savage
i'd say it's more like ex are a 2-3, savage a 4-7 and ultimate 7-9
@river solar you should try and sell them on the market boards using your retainers, if they're binded to you however you can't sell. Anything that is green or pink you can trade in to a grand company for seals though. Anything that's binded that you aren't going to use again just sell for the gil (none market board) as for the blue gear you have (legacy Dragoon gear), put that in the armoire in the inn.
"Average" learning time for the ultimate fights are about 80-100 hours
if it's a very competent casual player, maybe
but if you're not doing like 3-4 3h raid days a week it'll take aaages and i doubt any group is willing to take that long
as long as you keep at it, I dont see why not. however, you'll be far from a casual player by that point
where do i ask stuff abt gathering profs?
no clue never raided in wow
maybe some of it but i'm pretty sure it's extremely different anyways
Anyone have any advice on how to, er, craft level 60 collectible stuff at 60? Rotation wise I mean.
its similar but, you have 12 less idiots running around in your raid party
You can ask here or #doh-dol-lounge
#doh-dol-lounge or here @mossy sundial
oh ty i just wanted to know where i could find the botany node for the new custom delivery
do i need to finish ARR msq to get to ishgard?
yes
You can right click on the delivery window and search for gathering
does healer lb3 work on people fallen off the map?
Then it will at least point you to the correct area
yeah should be pretty easy to find through the gathering log
@karmic niche Yes
@tidal yarrow no
oh i didnt know i could do that ty
how annoying
only if their bodies appear on the arena and are targettable @tidal yarrow
Dependson the fighg
FUCK
Fight
i guess i wont get DK and astro until i finished arr msq
Like on Titan their bodies aren't targetable so you can't res them
lucky for you they cut a whole bunch of quests yesterday so its... maybe noticeably shorter
it's ann are so it sucks 99%
yeah
Do platform edges function like death walls? Like, say as a drg if I got knocked off, could I dragonfire dive them at the last millisecond and save myself, or am I dead the moment my body goes over the edge?
you'll act as falling until you hit the death zone generally
is there any chance that I can make it so that my hotbars dont save between jobs?
Even if you backflip over the edge you kinda just stop mid animation and fall like a rock
you'd probably die since attacks don't actually change your altitude
changed to red mage off of summoner to try it out and its really annoying how all my abilities are reset now :/
Character config>hotbar settings>shared hotbars
ah gotcha thanks
@coarse pollen the basic situational awareness is transferable from mythic to ultimate but raiding in general is different in ffxiv
where can my friend paste the recruitment code i gave him?
FFXIV raiding is a dance. Boss abilities generally happen in the same order every time, so if you know the choreography, it becomes really easy. If you don't.... Well, then you're gonna die a lot.
As a complete noob. How is it possible to learn these savage raids. I just cant seem to remeber all the mechanics and die over and over again. I have seen guides. Am i just dumb or somthing?
Just practice ngl
Yeah
How can i practice without making 7 other people miserable?
There's a huge wall between normal content and savage
Yeh there's almost 0 rng in ffxiv fights. Mostly just who gets targeted by what
Look for, or make, party finders for [Practice]
People also link macros that i dont understand at all
You could start with extreme trials
Make sure to say which phase you're on like "fresh prog" or "phase 2"
Looking at guides also help
Basically for savage it's takingnthe plunge
Ex trials are basically a stepping stone between normal and savage raids
And until you learn you will anger some peolle, it's part of the process
That's why a static is the best approach
Find friendos rhat don't mind you failing
Yeah bur being in a static means having friends lol
Not really. I got my static way before being friends with them
And we bonded over being bad and improving together
Some real disgusting friendship and raindbow shit
Maybe iccould start with that.
aka Destast clubbed some randos and locked em in a room until they agreed :p
Yikes lol
More like I got clubbed
Wouldn't accept playing with total scrubs otherwise
But now I love them
They're my scrubs
(And they're actually not scrubs anymore so)
Is there a subreddit or discord for looking for static on Crystal? I know raiding sucks on Crystal, but I'd like that sweet dyeable gear.
There's recruitment channels here and on the balance
There's probably something equal to ERC too
ERC?
Europe raiding central
Ah
Speaking of EU
Which EU DC is better for non-salty raiding? I live in EU so maybe raiding times agree better with me.
either's fine, it's almost a 50:50 split
I reached lvl 55 in some doh dof
Doing dailies provs hurts my bank a bit
Should i keep doing them or focus on something else?
Disciple of field 😋
You mean disciple of.land?
Hi all. Apologies if this is in the wrong channel or been asked before, but if I have the game on PS4, is it possible to use the same account on PC without buying all the expansions I have on PS4?
I recommend you either do leves to level or do Diadem while you still can.
@hollow latch no
GC deliveries are trash ngl. Do custom deliveries > leves > collectable turn-ins
Custom deliveries?
GC deliveries can give 2x or 4x the EXP
Also don't buy stuff with Gil. The whole point of DOL is making your life financially easier by collecting your own stuff.
@charred rain you can powerlevel DoL/DoH by doing ishgard restoration stuff if you want
That potentially means 1 level from a single turn in
@hollow latch no
@warped nest Thanks
No jumping puzzle in this year's moonfire faire?
@hollow latch the exception is, if you have a character below level 50, and you have Starter on PC, you can play that character
But any character on expansion area or are above the level cap for ARR you just can't play with
Otherwise, for proper full access, you need to match what you own on PS4
@hollow latch the exception is, if you have a character below level 50, and you have Starter on PC, you can play that character
@warped nest My character is currently only 30 so I downloaded the launcher, but in order to access the game it's asking for my CD key
Yeah
You gonna buy Starter Edition on PC
@charred rain I gonna say that spending Gil is fine if it is worth it, for example, speaking a few thousand gils so you don't need to wait 50 minutes for a mining node to pop up
Great, thanks
do regens stack with each other? like aspected benefic and aspected helios for example
yes
yes
what about if I was nocturnal do the two shields stack as well?
Hello, I'm fairly new, lvl 71 and my goal is to get a guild house! I have no clue how to make Gil beside the daily roulette and selling Koks via Legioncoins... Any tips?
But it stacks with celestial opposition, diurnal celestial intersection, collective unconscious, and nocturnal balance
@leaden ginkgo Sell things on the MB
i haave been playing from 2-5 days i just wanna know is it all just walk and quest and walk ?
I'm level 21 and unlocked Guildleves, but skipped them because they don't seem that interesting. Guildhest, Dungeons anf the MSQ hooked me more. Do I miss out on anything by skipping Guildleves?
Ok, I have to look the treasure map up, never done this. And crafting was on my to do list for later xD
is sleeve draw just an additional draw?
how do you make the title stay the same one after you choose it? im trying to permanently have the heavensward title screen, but every time it reverts back to ShB, can you not set them permanently?
or is there more to it that i'm missing?
@kind burrow wait for the dev to change it to the way people actually want it to work
@stiff osprey It guarantees a seal you don't have. Standard opener is now with a card in hand and Draw ready. Play card, draw, play that card, sleeve (guaranteed third seal), play, and you can reliably divination after that, on uuugh 6th GCD if my math is right? 7th if second card is bad.
@stiff osprey if you are missing a seal or two, it will draw what you don't have
If you have all 3 seal, it will be just like normal Draw
@leaden ginkgo sorta early game yes but it will pick up after 15 then 50
should be the same NPC @tidal yarrow, im not a mentor here though
What the quest list between hevansward and stormblood
Is there a button you can press to zoom all the way out? Other than scrolling the mouse wheel back several times?
Gratze
i think im having some kind of weird bug with a quest, it's called "drowning out the voices" and I can't turn it in after scanning all the crystals
can i recolor a glamour plate, or do i need to take the items out, dye them and then put them back?
Dragonsong is the name i think @white ether
Also odd the top of your head how much does it cost to swap servers
Not data centers but servers
$18
Fuuuck thanks man
Same cost regardless to change home server
Of which none currently exist, for new servers
Huh?
hi. if my group of friends wants to party up, how can we do dungeons together? all of us are free trial users
should be the same NPC @tidal yarrow, im not a mentor here though
no idea what npc
You’ll need a person with the game to make a party for you
So how can my friend make my sever his home server
They pay for a home world transfer
Or make a character on your server
It said my server isn’t currently taking new players
I’m still trying to convince my friend to buy the game lol
i'm in the same situation lmao
but sadly they get to try arr and arr sucks
Dude I know lol
Be sure to get the 'Refer a Friend' bonus. Free gear and chocobo mount
Didn’t they cut out a lot of filler quest?
@white ether Unless it's congested, you can still make new characters on the server. You just can't create it at peak times.
Yep
And streamlined the rest
Is peak times like in the afternoon around 5-7?
Is there a list of what missions they cut?
I mean 5-12
Try to wait for hours without much player activity, that is when the server are open for new players
Gotcha
usually early morning is free i think
My friend is playing on ps4 and is pissed about the ui
Yeah I think he’s easily pissed off when he can’t use the ui right but I Learned it in a day

It was fun on ps4 but man did the game run something awful and look so bad
hmm... i guess i should start looking for FC
how often does FF14 hold events for cosmetic items?
Try the recruitment channel for your server
Couple times a year. There's Valentine's day, moon faire, Halloween, Christmas, new years
Little ladies day
Most of them seem to be winter/spring
dont forget anniversary! thats a thing as well isnt it?
@plain python it’s constantly having events
or is it new years?
The yokai event is next month
Wait no I’m tripping
What’s that bottom thing mean?
It means the rising sands is so crowded they had to split it
So you won't instantly crash when you enter
Rising stones
i can't seem to be able to unlock e5s, can anybody help me?
As an arcanist, does it really matter which race I chose? Reading a bit online now, it seems I should have chosen Lalafell Dunesfolk. I went for Elezen Wildswood. Essentially I'm looking for something closest resembling a mage class
To access Eden's Verse (Savage), players must speak with Lewrey in Amh Araeng (X:26.8 Y:16.4) with a level 80 Disciple of War/Magic after completing the quest, Life Finds a Way. @tidal yarrow this is on the wiki
You can play any class to the fullest benefit regardless of race
thank you, but i can't find the quest life finds a way
that's my main problem
oh fuck me
that's because i already did it
Lol
Thanks @white ether. Not too keen on choosing the one they say is best for arcanist. I enjoy elves
will summoner has a tanky pet? Or they only DPS or support?
it might be in your journal already or maybe try the Empty?
What race did you decide to play in this game
I'm playing Elzen Wildwood. Just want to get to the main quest 20 already so I can use a mount. This running around is extremely annoying
Playboy Bunny
Oh yeah lol that was a pain
have you tried auto run? also no worries at level 20 MSQ you'll be done with that
Just run through the msq and you should be there in no time
@plain python summoner is always DPS
