100 seconds, resets every rezz.
Did they remove the XP bonus from PVP roulette in 5.3? I don't see anything in the patch notes for it but the last 2 days I haven't gotten anything from it.
It was definitely removed but I have no idea if it was intentional
Well that sucks, I was using it for glamour and to level classes <50
i've been trying to fix a really odd bug for the past few hours and i'm kind of at wits end, has anyone else been having audio issues in the new nier raid?
and apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, i can move elsewhere if need be
You can ask here
i haven't seen anyone else having issues so it might just be something i have to go to the official forums for seems like
Where can i get the chocobo insurance?
Geico ๐ข
?
hey guys
ive just finished the lv 70 24 mans
i can unlock the lv 80 relic right?
and how do i unlock the lv 80 24 mans?
the lvl 80 relic unlock is in kugane
Oh i found the seal exchange, which one is the right tab?
by doing hunts
either pick up the hunt bills in crystarium/eulmore or kill A/S ranks in shadowbringers zones
where can I get the bard relic?
which one
@lone zephyr should be materiel
Are eden savages farmable rn ? someone told me yes but isnt that a bit later
no, savage is still weekly locked
kk that's what i thought
How do i activate the verification node for the Born Again Anima weapon quest?
Already turned in the 15 pneumite or whatever
did you collect density
"Completing certain activities while equipped with your anima weapon will increase its aetheric density level.
Please be advised that aetheric density cannot be increased when its durability is zero.
By using the anima glass, it is possible to visually verify your progress."
certain activities
doesnt really help
how many times?
alright thanks
fug i didnt know there was an area for help
so is there a way to powerlevel a character?
For first job, not really
Where should a new player look to find a free company?
Finally learned how to tank probably running potd. But is there a recommended order for cooldown rotation?
No
Flying is faster
The boosts apply to flying as well
Getting to the unlock quest takes less time
is there a cmd to clear out hotbars? not all of them, just a select few
Its land speed
flying is max speed, always
Planning on making my anima weapon, i'm still at the toughening up stage, are the unidentifiable parts still at 10 each? Cause i'm planning on buying them first
yup
Ok thanks
@magic light if you have an empty hotbar you can copy the empty into filled hotbars to clear them
That works for you?
They don't want all though
Is the best way to get unidentifiable parts just poetics?

@twilit schooner unless you have a lot of beast tribe currency, then Poetic is the best way
Well that sucks lol, thanks
crystarium weapon is better than the relic weapon right?
there are a few instances where relic can be preferrable, but if you can augment crystarium then it is 100% better
crystarium then, cos they've both got ten
if you can do the new ex, that would be better than crystarium
can you turn off battle theme yet?
When u get the coins from the raid or nuts from hunts where do u buy the crystarium uograde material for gear
hunt vendor for nuts or eulmore for coins
I just got the WHM promotion but im still a Conjurer
equip your stone
equip the job stone
is there a free boost to level 60 going now?
my friend says they heard about it
but i cant find anything
no
because you need to be a conjurer
Where is the person in eulmore I swear I looked all over.
unequip your job stone
unequip your stone to become conjurer
O
Unless I missed one of the vendor listings
Auto-demolish timer is paused right? Which means if I can't find a free house in a location, there won't be one for super long ye
it is paused yes
probably
damn and I thought getting the gil was the harder part
It still doesn't appear
tips for getting over burnout? I haven't finished ARR yet but I really want to play gunbreaker and I have no access to it anytime soon
:c
I keep restarting onto different jobs, i now have 8 jobs between 25-40 because I can't find anything that I enjoy
you dont have a good idea of how a job plays at 25-40
watch videos of lvl 80 jobs and pick whatever looks cool
It's hard when gunbreaker is the job I want to play the most, I love tanking and it looks absurdly fun
then play whatever tank looks the best
Alot of the jobs I want to try out are all jobs locked behind future levels. That's the issue. I'm contemplating buying a boost but I figure that's probably not the best of ideas
is the machist a advance class or dlc locked?
dlc
what classes does the free trial get for the dlc if any ?
ah ok
I've got a dumb question. I remember before when I played a bit that if I wanted to unlock certain jobs I needed to level one class to 30 and then one to like 15. was that changed? or am I remembering wrong? It's been a long time since I've been on
if you mean leveling 2 classes to advance one class then yes thats changed
got it thanks!
All mounts can fly once you've got access to it
And when is that?
for a realm reborn zones, its when you complete the main scenario quest "the ultimate weapon"
for expansion zones, you need to collect all the aether currents in that zone. there 10 open world aether currents and 5 quest currents.
I guess that's like endgame content
not really
you should be collecting currents while you're leveling in that zone since most of the open world ones are in the general vicinity of your main scenario quest
and its easier to get it done while you're there in that zone questing anyway
Wdym currents?
On each open map, there are 10 aether current you need to interact with
Collecting 10 from the map and the 5 from questing will unlock flying for that map
To search for them, there is an in game item you can get from NPC. Aether compass will tell you the distance and direction to the nearest current from your location
How many different mounts do you get from MSQ?
Mmmmm
6
I recall Chocobo, Magitek, and Bird (Stormblood)
manacutter
chocobo, magitek, black bo, yol, manacutter, dragon
Oh, yeah, I forgot dragon in HW
Do i need to collect the aether things on the ARR areas to fly too?
no
Or just do the quest ?
as i said, a realm reborn simply requires you do to the main scenario quest "The ultimate weapon" to unlock flying
Magic Death Claw ... best mount ... it picks you up like your garbage lol
it is only the expansion zones that require aether currents
You meant doesn't?
Are the mounts you can buy from the beast tribes Market Prohibited?
Yes
Oh, I thought I saw it is the only
My bad
Most mounts are Market Prohibited
I think only around 10-15 can be traded
Is there any cool Collab stuff you can do on free trial or is it all 70+?
Yokai watch is coming soon
hey all, currently doing some fishing just for fun, says I need to find find 5 Navigators Daggers, anyone know what kinda water they're in?
for current in-game cross over stuff, its only 70+. but yokai watch is going to be happening soonish
and that'll be available for low levels
ok thanks, time to find out wtf yokai watch is :p
moraby drydocks in lower la noscea, or brewer's beacon in western la noscea @jaunty ruin
thanks!
Why do the fireworks stop at 8 then start again at 9?
there's two side quest dungeons. on in eulmore and one in crystarium
crystarium is the twinning dungeon
eulmore is akadaemia anyder
Eulmore's dungeon quest is in the slum, sound east, facing the sea
Crystarium is outside Exarch room, down the stairs
rested exp
!faq restedexp
'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.
Because it is added on top of your base experience gain
The raw experience you gain took up the space previously occupied by your rested exp.
well, i meant that i leveled up 4 times on my pugilist and twice on lancer and i still have it
Example:
I have a level bar with 100 empty space for exp. 50 unit of rested. So now I have a bar with half a blue.
Now I get 20 base exp, and I get 10 bonus from rested (rested now has 40 left). So now on my 100 unit long experience bar, I have 30 exp, 40 rested, and 30 empty space.
You are constantly gaining rested exp (at a slow rate) inside cities
Even if you took short dinner break or log out for the day, as long as your character is inside cities, they will build up rested exp
keep in mind that rested exp is not applied to quests
That too
its only from killing, crafting or gathering
Leve exp doesn't use rested, right?
leve turn in no
hi all! I'm new to FF14. Just wondering a couple of things: 1. Is there any point in joining the novice network now that I'm approaching level 30? 2. Does the choice of Grand Company matter? 3. Any good Free Companies to recommend pls? I'm playing Conjurer.
novice network, while it can be hit or miss, is nice to have since it gives you a place to chat with other people, both other new players and veterans
- Aesthetic, and the location of their HQ I guess. Immortal and Serpent are near the main aetheryte of Uldah and Gridania respectively, while Maelstrom is a floor above Limsa's crystal
Can you use novice network as free trial? Game is nice but not being able to talk at all lis kinda boring lol
Free trial has social limitations
Ya thats why i asked if they could use novice network :p
To prevent say... Malicious players from dumping the game with hundreds on bots trying to advertise their real money trading activity
yes you can use novice network as free trial
Eh?
same as full game players, just need to be invited
Oh, nice
I am not aware of that
Can you just use keyboard on PS4? Or do you have to use controller? Can't find a setting to use Keyboard on console
Aside from typing
yeah you can use a usb keyboard on ps4
its often recommended since its easier to chat with one than with the controller
Can i save Khloe's Gold Certificate of Commendation for future use or next expansion? o:
Keyboard for combat
My brother is able to type on keyboard on console, but we can't find a setting to use it for combat instead of controller
I'm not 100% certain but i think you could use k/b for combat on ps4 too. Character config, atleast on pc, has an option to switch between the two modes
@tight kettle i believe you could save the gold certs for future use
Thanks! > u </
Okay, thank you
What little i googled, it seems you put the stuff on the hotbar for keyboard instead of the crossbar or something?
If you have a mouse and keyboard, the PS4 version can toggle to kb/m making it functionally identical to the PC version. At least in terms of movement controls, hotbars, and the like.
is there any "fast" way to getting tomestones of allegory
hunt trains
either join a hunt linkshell or discord and whenever a train is called out, join a party and follow the train
can cap allegory in like 2-3 trains
How do people set up@hunt trains? Iโve only joined them, not set them up.
Requires finding and flagging locations for every mark along the way. It's usually a group effort with multiple scouts reporting locations to a "conductor" who catalogs and charts a route.
So in the feast, how do you know your rank? Where can you check that?
should be in your pvp profile
What happens when you hit 60 in the free trial? Does the xp just buff the void or does it pool up for later?
any exp earned goes into the void
thought so but wanted to make sure ๐
hey I just used some glamour prisms on some pvp gear I bought why is it not showing up in my glamour dresser?
How did you use the glamour prism?
And did you check the correct group in your glamour dresser?
I want to give my friend a Recruit a Friend code from my purchase but he's in free trial account, is it possible? cheers
They need to sub
no, you need to be full game account to use RAF
They too
but my mate is still free
yeah I checked chest pants and legs and shoes which are the ones I glamoured @warped nest
so how does that work then? what should I do to him
Glamour prism can be used two way
He needs to either buy the starter edition or complete edition and apply the code to his account. once he's upgraded to the full game, he can enter your RAF code
OH just checked Mog station and could enter recruitment code
First way, you make a gear look like another one
Second way, prism is used as a one time cost to put gear inside dresser
oh so basically he still had to purchase full then? @twilit arch cheers
ye
Recruit a Friend (to pay subscription)
Is there a time limit on the Recruit a Friend? I bought the game and nobody recruited me'
I used it to put it in the glamour dressor
Not Recruit a Friend (to play free)
Could I give it to someone?
Take a screenshot
there's a limit in that you can't enter a recruit code once you've paid for a subscription
I was talking to Marx
so you have essentially 30 days (as you get 30 days free from the starter/complete edition) to enter a code
yep that one I get
there should be 4 items in there
Is the item still in your inventory?
nope
Or is it gone for good?
guys did they nerf the exp you get from dailies?
its gone from my inventory
are you certain you don't have it set to show only items wearable by a job that the pvp gear doesn't apply to?
@warped nest frontline only? It feels like all of them were nerfed....
thanks @twilit arch

Unless you have a way to prove it
I normally get like 7 million exp from it. But now for 2 days in a row, I've been getting like 500k only
Same ish level?
How can you tell the difference between and A, B, and S Rank? Is this a B?
That's an A
omg thank god your not stupid like me @twilit arch i had it set to SAM not Astro
B ranks are always passive (blue icon)
so what's an S?
S ranks are much larger.
well....level 75 ish samurai and level 61 summoner
S ranks are usually very big and visible from quite a distance
thank you both
Roulette bonus are scaled by percentage, not amount
but even then I used to get like 1-2 levels per praetorium. now it's like barely even 1/4 of a level
You'll know one is around if your chat log says "you sense the presence of a powerful mark"
Does the 500k bonus from msq roulette make up around half to 3/4th of your SMN?
no just like 1/4
Did you have the Road to 70 buff before?
I didn't
Absolutely sure?
Yes the road to 70 ends after 3 months
and I've been playing for 13
also alts on the same world don't get it in the first place
Then I am clueless on this
@twilit arch any thoughts
SMN getting 1/4th bar worth of exp off MSQ roulette bonus
if I use a fantasia, do I HAVE to customise my character or can I just use it to get it out of my inventory and do it when I want to?
Can use it
There isnt a "Mount Sound Slider" is there? This woomp woomp of my "Taking the trash out" mount is sooo loud
@drifting ruin you can use it whenever you want
it won't prompt you to change your char until you take off all your clothes and manually click change char in login screen
the option will just stay there
Thanks :)
Gotta love failing dutys cuz the idiot you have to guard is no where to be seen lol
This is... Question and help channel
looks like it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrUOkk7BaCw though it seems there's a few remixes of it
Do you lose out on anything by doing duties on Easy / Very Easy?
If you buy the upgrade collectors edition thing is it auto applied to your account or can you use the code later?
Kinda tempted to buy it now with 50% off, but it seems a waste to use it now when i have free reign to boost everything to 60 ;p
You can just keep the code and use it whenever
you can buy it now, and input the code later
Even after we have 2 more expansions in 4 years
I kinda plan for it
The code don't expire
how do I store stuff in my house
You "store" furniture by placing them in your house
!fr
I need to buy the edition on Square Enix shops in order to get the code for later input? Or I can buy it on Mog Station?
uhh I meant in the store room
Mogstation doesn't sell game directly
meaning?
It offers in game item, options to add more retainer, and upgrade to collector edition (digital)
ah I see :d
@river solar if you are using the command for yourself, do it in #kupo-bot-spam
@warped nest didnt sorry
Np np
didnt know*
@static yacht right click the furniture while in the housing menu where youโd place the furniture
is there a limit number of housing plots? Or it will auto expand when the limit is reached?
Limit
Is there someplace that shows what exactly the collectors edition gives? All i can find is tiny pictures >.>
Housing only expands when SE adds more wards
Scroll down to features
@obsidian patio ooo P_P I was trying to store outdoor furniture in the store room while I was inside my house
didn't realize I had to be outside to store outdoor stuff
While I donโt know the values, it does vary as some items take dye colors differently
anyone willing to help me grind gyr albanian plait
Its kind of a "Glamour All" thing instead of having to glamour each piece
Like if you want a Dark Knight set, Arcanist Set, WHM set, you could make 3 different plates
you can save looks and not have to spend glamour prisms every time you want to swap up your fashion

is there a way to DM a free company or the free company head in-game, or do I have to wait by their housing?
and clothes can only be dye in 1 color?
each piece can only be one color, yes
Technically cant it be 2? 1 color in the armoire and 1 color for the plate?
armoire?
I think glamour plates override everything, but I could be wrong
Well yes, but its still the base color if you put it in a different plate
anyone have tips for a noob tank
If the gear has one when you make the plate
tank stance
first timing tanking in an mmo and not sure of anything I should be aware of
AOE on trash pulls
yeah tank stance is like all Im aware of so far
Spam AOE
you'll make your DPS very happy
If you have multiple defensive ability, don't use them all at once
so I should like spam total eclipse on trash on gladiator?
and then single target 3hit combo?
if you're about to die use invuln skills
Yeah
When you will hit 3 or more enemies, use AOE
If it is 2 targets, use single target (for some Dps jobs, 2 is the cut off point for some skills)
ah I see
This applies to weaponskill
For ability, use AOE/single target in both AOE/single scenario, more damage done
If you aren't sure what's weaponskill, what's ability
exactly what I was about to ask lol
Hover over your skill, the tooltip will tell you
Yes
ok gotcha
3+ enemies=use AOE applies to literally every job, as far as I'm aware
I see
Even if 2 is a thing, it is so exceeding rare that I can't even remember any skill off the top of my head
Early on, you will probably have noob healers, so keep a healing potion in your hotbar in case. Early on, you'll have more button slots than moves, so it's free real estate
3 is definitely the cut off point
2 is apply DOT to both and then go though single target rotations, IIRC
yeah thats usually how I use my smn spells
Use Food
dot one, bane for the other, burst one at a time
Anyone else has this problem of the game slowing down during windows update ?
but its starting to make sense in the bigger picturte now
That's how internet bandwidth works
Any tips on learning how to SCH so I don't end up spamming physick in higher level dungeons? o-o
Wierd it's a 500 GB SSD on a 16 gb ram
general tank advice is to keep the boss pointed away from everyone else so they can avoid cleaves and get their positionals off
that helps alot actually
and to dodge every attack possible so your healer doesn't have a heart attack
makes sense but I wouldnt really think to do it
I can just shield bash/stun them to stop most cleaves right?
Keep awareness of adds too. Don't get tunnel vision on the boss. Healer might be running for her life from an add and you don't notice it.
for adds I can just cast provoke right?
yeah in 4-man groups you take all the aggro
in 8-man+ it's a little different, but at that point you should probably be watching guides for each fight
in 8 theres like a main tank and an off tank right?
one focuses adds/other mechanics and the main takes the boss?
I come from wow and know a tank main friend, just going off of what I can remember him doing lol
you can get through pretty much all 4-mans bling on the pinciples of "take all the aggro" "dodge all the aoes" and basic rotation stuff
blind*
how do you challenge another player to a triple triad tournament match?
I forgot how to turn off party effects . It's becoming hard to see what my own character is doing lmao
in 8-person+ content, you're generally gonna wanna watch guides so you're not completely floundering in the dark, but if not then if you're main tank you focus on the boss. if the boss becomes invulnerable then take one of the ads/ad groups that spawn. if not then keep aggroing the boss. if you're off-tank then pick up one ad group right away, and be ready to take aggro if the main-tank is looking really unhealthy
@dim smelt Character Config - Controls - Character has Battle Effects option, is that what you mean?
do I want "of fending" or "of slaying" for dark knight? it's some accessories box
@granite swan thanks a lot
This doesn't effect bosses right ?
it only affects teammates, not enemies
I clicked the wrong one lmao
so it doesn't matter anyway
rip my 100 ilvl increase on accessories 
RIP indeed
If you set 2FA security for the account, is that permanent or can you remove it? Just want the free portal thing
whats the new Hawaiian shirt for 5.3 called?
Summer's Flame Top?
nvm found it but its the southern seas shirt
Different version for female chest piece maybe
is there any use to carbontwine and carboncoat now?
thank you guys for the tips btw!
for the new sundry splendors reps in the city, am I supposed to be only seeing ironworks gear? I don't see the 60/70 gear
There's a dropdown menu at the top of the shop window that has the other options iirc
sundry splendors rep in ishgard has 60 gear
hey! some people seem to sync their emotes. are they just timing it or is there a command to do it?
oh so you have to use the ones at each city expansion?
is there anyone willing to help me grind sacks in heaven on high
you stage 1 or 50?
So i'm changing my hotbars a bit, and now whenever i switch jobs, the skills from the previous job remain on the bar
I need silver sacks so around 1-30
am i doing something wrong?
im just grinding out the 1-30's for sacks @lavish elbow
I'm game, I'm drunk enough to find anything fun
@gloomy mortar what does the play dead emote mean? im sorry if this was a stupid question :(
I'm definitely stage 1 tho
thank god having someone to grind this with is better than no one
my name in game is Astra Marx
@timber cipher It meant I've been trying to get that question answered too and no luck lol
@gloomy mortar oh hahahaha
lol
Limsa seems to have a constant dance troupe performing coordinated dances. 24-hrs a day. No idea how lol
how much faster is the mount speed increase for arr areas? the first mount speed area
Limsa seems to have a constant dance troupe performing coordinated dances. 24-hrs a day. No idea how lol
@gloomy mortar thats what i was wondering aswell, probably just good timing with a countdown
Where are the Leatherworker, Miner and Botanist guilds?
Leatherworker and Botanist in Gridana, Miner Uldah
Thanks c:
how do you get to this pose with a parasol? is it an actual emote? if so where?
its a gpose
yeah i've been messing around with gpose as well
but can't find the setting that changes the pose w/ parasol
ehm can you accidently hide stuff like mount guide etc?
when i click it, it doesnt pop up
neither do minions etc
Could be CMT
question how do you get the alleged waking sands teleport tickets?
Oh I see. Thanks. Never heard of this before
is there a spell/skillspeed cap?
is it me or lucid dreaming as BM seems useless, am lvl 39 atm
and in combat with astral fire buff it doesn't even regen mp
or is it supposed to act like a complement with astral ice buff
No its pretty much useless except for extremely rare cases
@worthy roost Certain story missions give you 5-10 at a time
ok off the skill slot it goes
thanks for letting me know
oh are the waking sands tickets new because of the ARR changes?
Yes
neat, I guess that helps with loading times if you don't have to go thru limsa on the way heh
If you gpose an effect on your party, for example being on fire, does everybody see it? Or just those in the party? Or just you?

When should I be using Aetherpact? o-o
during battlr
XD
hi, I'm a new player that really wants to play samurai and have no interest in any of the other starting job(currently 26 archer doing msq). I'm thinking about doing a job boost to get the samurai now since it will take a long time to finish all the quest to get it naturally. I heard that it will only skip the samurai story/quest, is there a place where I could read what happens and watch the cutscenes?
When should I be using Aetherpact? o-o
@grim adder you mean the scholar skill? or the summoner skill?
Isnt Samurai locked behind MSQ also or did i read that wrong? I thought someone mentioned the HW classes were
SAM is stormblood class, you can get it in ul'dah
so does a job boost work without skipping the story?
you'll be having a single level 70, and you can't access any level 70 content until your MSQ reach that point naturally
otherwise it should work
can u play triple triad against others? ;D
for cutscenes you can watch them in inn room
The scholar skill ^^;
yeah I don't mind that
I don't want to do it for getting high content
if I could boost job to level 1 samurai
I would do it
Any help? ^^'
Not all skills are available for that feature
does cutscenes include like quest talk or just actual videos @analog gate
i actually don't remember, never actually used it myself
Not all skills are available for that feature
@tropic summit I dont have the option to do anything lmao
it just says "additional 0/1"
only cutscenes
dialogue in between is not shown
and even then it isnt every cutscene iirc
...Why did someone make an entire wiki about the androids of Dragon Ball? 
https://androids.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page
why the questions channel tho
anything useful u can buy at gold saucer with coins
triple triad cards, if you're into that sort of thing
Turtle Mount, 200,000
Question, new to the game and Iโm the tank. Iโm dungeons are people looking for me to just start or do people like to say hi and dance and stuff first?
In*
tanks are typically the ones leading the party around the dungeon
Right, but so people like to start right away or emote/talk first? Typically
Typically, they just go
The scholar skill ^^;
@grim adder you should use it when you cannot cast skills directly or when you expect somebody will take constant damage (like a potent poison, etc.) or also on heavy movement phases of the battle.
Last question, I see rooms with dead ends and a few monsters. Do I skip those rooms or do people like to kill every mob?
personally i usually skip them
i only end up in them if i get lost since early ARR dungeons are a bit of a clusterfuck
yeah haukke manor is one example
where you should search around a lot
Are the reistance weapons upgrades out yet or is that a later patch still
damnit
any clue when thats gonna drop?
a few months from now
Is there a reason for Allegory Tomestones to be capped at 450 a week? It's so frustrating that I don't even have half a set of crysterium gear after about 5 weeks. (And that's on just my first level 80)
@foggy flame there's three ways to grind item level: time, skill, or grind
damnit
Time: tomestones, skill: savage, grind: crafter/relic weapon
Probably because they want you to buy another month subscription?
It's so people fuckin chill and don't blitz through the endgame treadmill in a day
this is an mmo. they dont want you to grind everything in one week and leave till the next patch
Though, they do encourage you and understand if you wish to quit once you're all caught up on MSQ
I mean, you can just play through the story and never grind for gear, and thats fine too
and only sub one month every patch
They could make it like 1000 or something. 450 is just too low.
Any idea when it will be lifted?
they double it a few weeks to a month or two before the next raid tier
That only applies to the last set of weekly tomestones before the next expansion
oh oops
Until then itโs a constant 450. Allegory will become unlocked in 5.4 when they add the next weekly tomestone.
So basically when it becomes useless
no, you can use allegory to buy the materials used to craft the new set of gear
if i buy shadowbringers will i get storm blood too ? also will i have to get one month sub as well or is the first month included in the shadowbringers dlc?
yes, no
the 30 free days only come with every new key of a realm reborn
So yes, you will need to buy sub time
kk
Howdy, everyone. What servers in America have the least activity?
Trying to get back in to the game but I donโt want a lot of activity.
What are the best things to buy with company seal? iโm still less than lv50 fwiw
Glamour prisms keep a pretty stable price and demand for the most part.
@leaden ginkgo any of the preferred servers for the most part, but thereโs no real server thatโs disproportionately smaller than the other ones.
!faq worldstatus
Is the story better after ARR ?
most people would say so
HW story is very good imo
the sylph part is kind of borring imo o/
talking abot story i think i am lvl 15 or something in ARR and i have no clue wtf is even going on ,i gave up on it
last i recall is i have to gather crystals
like every other FF
@obsidian patio Thank you.
are there more available character appearance customization outside of the "character creation" at the beginning??
you can unlock more hairstyles in the game, but not that much apart from that
Is it possible to do hunting logs for more than 1 class at once?
Tryin to do the end of ARR is a horrible idea at this time apparently lol
you can unlock more hairstyles in the game, but not that much apart from that
@quasi widget i see other miqi'to having diff. ear shape, is that included?
theres headwear that give you different 'ears' but its just part of the hat
I wonder why Au Ra cant change their tail/bones after creation ๐ฆ Almost makes me want to remake cuz i dont like these big ear things lol

I mean, does it sound reasonable to rip bones out of your head and then glue new ones on?
Doesnt sound any less painful then changing eye color or adding those circles in them? Lol
Is it possible to do hunting logs for more than 1 class at once?
@honest anvil for each basic class they have a different hunting log. they give small amount of exp for that specific class. so no, basically.
before i was recommended to do the crystal tower raid before moving on to heavensward
recently, in unlocked the binding coil (of bahamut)
is it recommended to do this one too before hw or does it not matter?
if you care about the story enough, I'd recommend doing it before stormblood
you can speed through it with someone max level
crystal tower raids was made obligatory this patch
for much later in the story? dont know if you need to do it at 50
okay, thank you very much
The only thing of note with Coil
is that it takes place at a specific point in time
which is most definitely pre-HW
yeah every sidequest takes place 'when' you could do it
Do drk have any agro skills at lvl 30 or just the role ability?
How do i dwitch to the pet hotbar again to dismount?
if you have tank stance on, every single attack will deal huge threat
Not really. Only time you turn it off is at the start of a fight where there's multiple tanks and you're not the MT
if ur OT you leave it off for the first few moments
then turn it on so ur second on the threat list
and even then you just turn it back on after opener is over
Hmm didnt it have a damage reduction? Atleast that's how i remember it from when i used to play
nope
Not anymore
A year or 2 ago
Thats all passive now
Oh alright
So provoke isn't really used anymore?
Except when taking over tanking i guess
Like when MT needs time to recover or something
how do I macro class changes?
create a gearset and drag that gearset to a hotbar
It looks like this, for example :
/micon "Bard" classjob
/gearset change 21
if Bard is your 21st gearset
np
....
in your class menu, theres a 'gear set list' button on top of your character
anyone able to take screenshots at the character screen? ever since the patch I'm unable to :/
@jaunty ruin if you hop over to #protips-and-ui and check the pins, you can find guides on how to set up bars for this function as well. Its very useful.
like that?
Yes that should function if fisher is your 4th gearset
:D
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
that gearpiece already has max crit
Refer to the last entry on that
np
just hope the materia doesnt break while retrieving
I did it bois! I broke it xD I asked for your best tip for a new player. You said not to outlevel the MSQ. Well, i did xD How can you not tho on a preferred world :p Im level 40 and the MSQ is like 24. I got my summoner quest done and got my mount just before level 40. Still cant complete more class quests due to not having progressed the MSQ far enough (I think) supposedly I need to unlock "naval?" to do the 35 SMN quest for the Energy Siphon or whatever its called ๐ Ive basically just done the MSQ, Job/guild quest, features (blue+) quests and some hunting log. Would it be better now in my situation to just start a new job to level up and continue story from level 24? Thing is that even tho the story is at level 24 u get like scaled to 34-37ish atleast when im higher level then the story mission itself.
just outlevel it
choo choo through the msq
while watching the cutscenes if you're new
Cutscenes without voice-acting was kinda lame imo :p
Are the beast tribes needed for the combined quest line the Sylphs, Amaljโaa, Kobolds and Sahagin?
On a preferred server you literally cannot not outlevel the msq
@simple shore tysm this is gonna save me so much time xd
@neat stratus if you outlevel msq naturally that's fine. What's not fine is stopping msq to grind exp to outlevel msq
Yes, those 4 and and Ixals
@warped nest I see, it just feels bad not getting to my have my skills etc at the level I am. instead of getting to SMN at 30, i got it at 38, getting mount should be 20, got it at 39. Should be getting abilities at 35, wont get em til 42 ish :p just feels bad
Weird. Havenโt unlocked Ixals. ๐ค
Then if you find a different class interesting, feel free to level them
Is the combined quest any good?
story is still lvl 17 while i am 31 rofl
It gives some special stuff, but I wouldn't call it "good" by any means, and Ixals are 100% crafters
I have that quest unlocked, I think. If itโs in North Shroud near Peacegarden
@weary burrow yeh, u finally got to do that level 15 dungeon :p at level 30 xD
Ye
Hello can anybody please tell me around how long it will take to unlock mch? Also what would be the downside of taking the job boost besides having to learn the job? Will it affect the story difficulty or experience?
"around how long" - based on what as a starting point?
@jaunty ruin you don't need to make macro for gearset changes, just drag and drop gearset from the list to a hotbar
Hello can anybody please tell me around how long it will take to unlock mch?
depends. probably like 30 to 50 hours if you ONLY do the main story.
Is the combined quest any good?
@slate crow the ARR one and the HW one are ok. I liked the SB one. they also all take place chronologically, so like I did the SB first and I didnt know who one of the characters was.
@quasi widget to unlock the xpac classes like SAM and MCH do you just need to hit the level req or do you need to progress MSQ?
MCH/AST/DRK you need to get to heavensward
for samurai you just need stormblood and a level 50 job
the others you just need a certain level
Heavensward job, due to a oversight or a brain fart, are placed inside Heavensward region
So the only way to get to them is to do more MSQ
Stormblood/Shadowbringers jobs, thankfully doesn't place the starting quests in expansion regions
All four of them starts in ARR starting cities
New here, what grand company should I choose?
Do they ever have sales for data centre transfers? I'm guessing no but may as well ask
@jaunty ruin you don't need to make macro for gearset changes, just drag and drop gearset from the list to a hotbar
@real seal oh! thanks xd
The two important factor are color and location
New here, what grand company should I choose?
@fickle jackal choose what city/aesthetic you like the most
and you can always change later
Immortal is blue/black and located in Uldah
Serpent is yellow and located in Gridania
Thanks guys ๐
Maelstrom is red and located in Limsa
Can u switch?
Take note that when you change your GC
Your rank doesn't carry over (but when you swap back, you will get back your original rank in said GC)
And there is a wait time to swap again
And GC exclusive gears are only usable if you are on the correct GC
So if you get a maelstrom gear and then swap to serpent, you cant use maelstrom gear
should I get my relic weapon? how important is it?
its not required for anything other than upgrading and continuing the relic weapon quest.
Relic weapon is for glamour only
Even ShB relic weapon will eventually become glamour
So I have a settings question. Im quite colorblind :p and yes I have the settings set to colorblind mode. Tho I have one major issue. When I go to a quest and press "map", when ever there is a "Red circle" somewhere on the map. I cannot freaking see it. It takes me forever to actually spot it ๐ Is there a way to make that circle easier to spot? less transparent? more color? anything
In like 12-15 months or so
ohh ty
Adjust color is probably your only choice
I don't think you can adjust transparency of the red circle with doted line on map UI
(but I can be wrong)
are there some things cannot be used in the glamour dresser? my friend put in the evoker's horn and he said he cannot use in glamour
like there's a giant x
He needs to flip over to gear that can be used on a summoner
IF this didnt have the arrow, i wouldnt seen it ever probably.
you can put the evoker's horn in the armoire
wish there were like big triple triad tournaments xd
maybe a stupid question, but lots of SAM guides still refer to positionals for kasha/gekko combos, but the tooltip doesnt mention anything about positionals
did they recently remove those?
landing gekko and kasha positionals gives you extra kenki
hello, i bought the game on steam and i'm trying to download the game with a slow internet connection unfortunately. It keeps stopping after a while saying unable to patch but i want to download the game at night. Is there anything i can do so the launcher doesn't stop downloading constantly?
Can I safely skip guildleves?
Yes
They're bad in general for combat jobs.
Useful for crafting/gathering when you go back to do those

yo for this it's probably pirates quest, do i really have to wait for the instance queue to pop?
or whats the deal
seems dead as fuck even tho im on EU light
or maybe theres just too many dps queueing
and too few tanks and healers
if you're a DPS then queue times will always be expected.
well its for the main scenario quest
is this rly how i have to do it
its not like i want to sit through some 30min queue
DPS is still the most popular role for people to play.
just to continue playing the game
you can join FC and get them to help you with the dungeon
dungeon queues are usually 10-15 minutes or so for the most part as a DPS.
FC?
free company, the player guilds of the game
correct
f
i see some tutorial here, doing this wont finish the main scenario q right?
i have to get the queuepop
what happens after i reach lvl 35 in free trial?
oh rly
since 3 days ago
nice
hitting the level cap stops that class from earning more experience
ah alright
You can go off and do other things while you wait. Do some fates. I suggest either asking someone on discord, reddit, or even just heading to limsa uldah or gridania and typing out if someone will come help
just go cook or something
Yeah that's going to be a constant experience as a dps
I tank and i have waited 12 before. I just go do something else.
So you'll have to deal with it or play a tank or healer
ye but this is the only mandatory instance i have to do ye?
no there's more
f
been in queue for 6min now and im still alone xd
@past blaze unlock another class and level it up while waiting
lots to do if you just started.
i heard most progression stuff is tied to the main story quest rather than lvls in this game
oh pog got queuepop already
minus spell unlocks ofc
pog im being carried by some ppl just mass aoeing everything
while i only still have singletarget shit
yeah depending on the exact class you start as you don't get your aoe moves until a bit later
you wont have much until 30
yeah you got the worst one then in this instance :\
oh
!action doom spike
the st seems pretty strong so far atleast
yeah they have pretty respectable single-target damage
So i have a question about bug reports. I have one that is not game breaking but is a real pain in the butt. I reported it a few days ago and it's still happening. I don't expect immediate fixes but because there's zero feedback on reports i have no idea if I should just give up on this character and make an alt.
Anyone have experience with bug reports and fixes?
@past blaze it's in the bottom right of this example picture
@quasi widget I made a new character in adamantoise on the 8th while it was preferred. Played on the 11th when it was back to normal and got the road to 70 buff. The next day it wouldn't pop
Still isn't up
It took me 4 hours to go 18 levels on the 11th, 6 hours to get 3 on the 12th
I checked with my friend who made a character at the same time in adamantoise and she has it
It's driving me up the wall
doesnt it say when u make a char and pick a world that some worlds have increased xp or smth
Yes
Preferred world give a Road to 70 buff
i went on cerberus and a couple hours later u cant make any new chars here lul
It's supposed to be 90 days I got one
It is not 90 days exactly
one EU light server that was locked last night ain't locked anymore
I made mine 50 or so days ago on preferred and now my server is non-preferred. Still have the buff.
I leveled up all my jobs before they added preferred stuff
Chaos
Once road to 70 is given to a new character, it will be taken when two conditions are met A world is no longer preferred and B character is older than 90 days
Omega**
I know it is. I made it when it was preferred and it bugged out 4 days after
If you made a character today, and the world stay preferred until next year, so will the road to 70 buff
Contact support desk, in game
I did. I'm asking if anyone has any experience with bug reports
So i have a question about bug reports. I have one that is not game breaking but is a real pain in the butt. I reported it a few days ago and it's still happening. I don't expect immediate fixes but because there's zero feedback on reports i have no idea if I should just give up on this character and make an alt.
Anyone have experience with bug reports and fixes?
I did, but it was a very minor issue
And there is no immediate feedback so I assume it gone through
How long before it was fixed for you? I hate not knowing
The issue was, the recipe name and item name produced from recipe were inconsistent
And it was fixed next patch
But this is a minor issue, only a text inconsistency
Guys new here, how do I get the quest to become a paladin? I finished the rematch quest and picked a grand company as well, Iโm lvl 34 gladiator but canโt find the quest?
!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.
You need to put on your job stone
Did you finish the lvl 20

Any hoousing gods here, what are those items around the bed ?
try logging into the moogle station to download the game
Does it not have a download link in it?
Yes
yes
yeah
mogstation is also where you manage your account
im from australia do i use the /na one or the /jp one
either is fine
Square Enix store sells all SE related products, this include dragon quest plushie, final fantasy 7 Remake physical copies, various XIV products, etc
Mogstation is for XIV account management, like managing your subscription, buy in game items, register XIV license, upgrade to digital collector edition, etc
They are two different thing
yo can you equip 2x augmented neoish rings of casting? i know u can equip the same normal ring (i assume cause it has a crafter name on it?) but augmenting it makes it lose the name so im not sure if i should augment my 2nd ring
You can
Things that can't coexist, on your ring slots or in your inventory, will be marked by a UNIQUE tag
It's only equipment with the "UNIQUE" tag at the top of the tooltip that don't let you get multiples
You can get a Augmented scaevan ring and a Scaeven ring
@leaden ginkgo test your ping on the servers - I use NA - it was slightly faster than JP (Brisbane).
But not two of either

Don't work on mogstation
also can you get more than 1 coin from this new nier raid? i thought this 3/3 rewards were 3 coins but i only got 1
The 3/3 are coin, gear, and cluster

but i think i got more than 1 cluster?
i think i got 2?
NP ๐
both of the clusters count as one.
oh i meant the viii
but maybe i got the 2nd one from somewhere else and im forgettin idk
Materia VIII is not weekly locked
Cluster are items you can used to trade for materia of your choosing, which makes it just a hair more valuable than a straight forward materia reward
guys, ages ago i bought ffxiv on steam and played the 30 days, and i didn't renew it. so after these free trial changes were announced, I decided to restart on ps4. i downloaded the free trial, logged in with my square account and created a new service account separate from the one i used on steam, cause i understood that's what it was necessary to get access to the free trial. today i login and see next to my character "days of play time remaining: 27". even if somehow i didnt get the free trial, i started this account yesterday, shouldn't it say 29? (though i downloaded it a couple days before)
am i on the free trial or not, and if not, can i still get it?
Are you lost because you were following the instructions
no im lost because my password is wrong
i registed with facebook
but no waya to log in with facebook anywhere
the square enix store uses an entirely different account system from the mogstation/FFXIV

register a new SE account
ill have to check

but i made one to buy the game?
is amazing how laggy it is
SE store is not mogstation
again, the square enix store has nothing to do with the mogstation
japanese suck shit at onlin stuff

@obsidian patio can you help @random musk

I feel that they got starter Edition lol
And didn't know they did
lol my ping request for elemental times out XD
it wasn't a new account, it was an old quare enix, but i made sure to create a new service account
i cant ping the server
