Nope

Only way is to make another one
random musk
but do i have to make a new account with a new email, or a new service account will suffice
warped nest
New email

@leaden ginkgo https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/
random musk
cause i tought to get the free trial, i could use my old account, but with a second service account
turns out i need to use a different email
warped nest
Yeah, this you can blame the dev
random musk
you guys think if i updated this account to have my secondary email, and then made an account with my main email, it would let me use the free trial, or should i not risk it. cause it'd be cool to have my main email account on my main xiv account
warped nest
I'm just gonna be honest with you
I have no experience on this specific setup
So I don't even know what is doable
random musk
yeah i figured
warped nest
And what isn't
random musk
i'll just create a new one
warped nest
Sorry, I wish I can be more helpful on this TwT
random musk
no problem at least now i know i'm not on the free trial
anyway i can export my created character settings so i can rebuild her for the new account?
cause i really liked my design
uneven stream
so im trying to log in on a trial account and it says i dont have a valid license or subscription, what kind of trial is it if you have to buy it or sub lol

Sorry, I wish I can be more helpful on this TwT
@warped nest you already helped me enough, thank you

@uneven stream you need to log in using trial client

on ps4, can i export a characters appearence so i can use her on the new account i'm gonna be creating?

Is there a way to force a better AA for the game?
The aliasing is quite bad
Perhaps through NVIDIA control panel?
frosty badger
at what beast tribe rank do you get the tank mount?
simple pine
is it bad AA or simply poor textures? i noticed the latter more
frosty badger
bad AA?
simple pine
anti aliasing, when you see ugly edges
tidal yarrow
why it says that i don't have requirements for level 80 dungeons roulette?

at what beast tribe rank do you get the tank mount?
@frosty badger ARR its 4, the others its sworn or bloodsworn depending

rather than sharp/smooth edges
lime sphinx
so after beating housing (savage) , you basically enter housing (ultimate) where you have to glitch everything for it to be pretty, because even after so many years there's like 2 housing items and the fake floors can't even be used ?

Is the monk really in a bad spot or is it greatly exaggerated? Planning to switch to it from smn

Personal opinion: Monk is fine, just not satisfying to play.

if i finished ultima weapon msq, should I do all the unlock quests? or keep at the msq?

thank you!
leaden ginkgo
What’s the difference between the complete edition and the shadowbringer’s collector’s edition?
twilit schooner
I'm factoring the 5.4 overhaul so that's one of the reasons why i want to level it up right now
warped nest
You can do the 
while waiting for dungeon/Duty queue for example
@leaden ginkgo complete standard edition is Starter edition + Shadowbringers (standard)
Shadowbringers Collector is Shadowbringers standard + additional Shadowbringers vanity items (mount, costume, etc)
I hope this clears it up for you
To play, you gonna get Starter Edition
leaden ginkgo
The complete edition is the same price as the Shadowbringers Collector’s Edition so I was just wondering which is what.
warped nest
Either alone or included in complete edition
Shadowbringers Collector is Shadowbringers standard with additional vanity item, so collector more expensive than standard
gusty siren
hey new player here. i've heard you get scholar and summoner at the same time? how does that work?
teal sapphire
is there a way to duty roulette the hard version of dungeons only or do i have to select them?
leaden ginkgo
Oh, ok. Thank you @warped nest
warped nest
XIV complete edition is Starter Edition (the base game) + Shadowbringers Standard
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, the complete edition comes with everything.
warped nest
@teal sapphire those are parked under the lvl 50/60/70 roulette
gusty siren
as in do i just get the skills for both or do i have to swap, since they're two different classes
warped nest
@leaden ginkgo everything standard
leaden ginkgo
you unlock them both with the same starting job, arcanist
whenever you level either, you get EXP for both
teal sapphire
ah ok thanks
leaden ginkgo
no each one is a pretty different job it's just they share the exp and base starting class is all
gusty siren
what about class quests
warped nest
Your Summoner and Scholar are the same level as the arcanist
And both of them earn Arcanist experience
You gonna do the class quests for both
If you say do it all for SMN but none for SCH
gusty siren
ok so i can't just swap on the fly it's actually two different classes
leaden ginkgo
yea
warped nest
Yeah
leaden ginkgo
both have a different quest chain for their job skills as well
gusty siren
still cool.
warped nest
Then you have a SCH at high level, but missing a lot of skills
wintry chasm
Yeah Summoner and Scholar work like two separate Jobs like the rest EXCEPT they share XP
vocal spoke
Any idea on what chest piece that is ?
gusty siren
depends if their quests branch a ton i might multitask
leaden ginkgo
pretty nice since you can play as summoner in the msq as a DPS, then switch to scholar for quick queues in dungeons and lose 0 exp
gusty siren
ah so healer favors the queues
warped nest
However, you do need to keep up with both job quests
Because some of their skills comes from their job quests
gusty siren
because nobody wants to be blamed for party wipes :^)
wintry chasm
Not 100% feels like a Limsa GC top or Deepshadow gear @vocal spoke
warped nest
Plus it is more exp
simple shore
Its a Limsa GC top
warped nest
And you got two source of exp
simple shore
I think that's the "melee DPS" one
vocal spoke
Oh I don't remember seeing that chest in the GC
simple shore
Which tanks can also glamour
Its actually going to be on the Hunt NPC
not the GC quartermaster
warped nest
some gears are gated by your GC rank
gusty siren
so scholar is more about shielding than healing is that right
vocal spoke
Oh hunt NPC
warped nest
So if your GC rank is too low, you might not be able to see it available for trading
@gusty siren it can shield on top of heal
vocal spoke
Well I'm First Storm Lieutenant
warped nest
You still need to heal when push come to shove
gusty siren
kinda scared i might struggle to heal if im not using white mage. seems like the more meta healer to me
warped nest
(I think that's the idiom)
simple shore
Rank isnt relevant to that item.
warped nest
@gusty siren the key difference is, your shield shouldn't be wasted
gusty siren
so shield the tank basically
south hornet
guys i made a free trial account on standalone client , if i buy the game on steam n put the cd key in that standalone will that acc get bound to steam client ?
warped nest
So when you deploy a shield for your tank, you don't overwrite it yourself (cuz wasting MP), and you make sure the shield soak up damage and didn't just expire into nothingness
gusty siren
oh for sure
tidal yarrow

Just play and ask us questions

@tidal yarrow anyway, i am pretty certain that you missed the 2 optional level 80 dungeons, Twinning, and Academia. You can unlock them in:
- Crystalium, outside Exarch's room, below the staircase
- Eulmore's slum area (not in Kholsia), South east
warped nest
If you are still missing a dungeon, then do more MSQ

Unfortunately I'm at work right now, so I can't go in and pull up the exact menu. It is possible though.

I think level 80 dungeons only requires 2 dungeon unlocks
at least most roulettes do
warped nest
@median locust yeah...
lyric magnet
It's under Minions under the NPC tab

@tidal yarrow not below, I meant before the stair, but oh well, they are both so you can't miss them

How long does it take to hit endgame? From a new players perspective?
rugged shuttle
Can you have multiple food buffs if they are different foods buffs? or only one food buff at a time?
twilit arch
only one
rugged shuttle
End game can take a while because of Allagan Relic Bottleneck you experience
and other relics
Thanks
tidal yarrow
"endgame" is very generic. main scenario quests? 2 months. grinding every job to 80? a lot more. grinding crafters? same. it really depends on endgame you're talking about imo
median locust
You do not need a single relic to reach endgame wat
rugged shuttle
Ya but if you need gear to progress and you aren't going to have cash to get that gear easily
wispy parcel
@abstract hinge playing normally without rushing from the beginning of ARR can take months
simple pine
but endgame does take long to reach the first time because you need to finish most MSQ
median locust
Relic takes MUCH MUCH MUCH longer than just grinding tomestones for the Ironworks/Shire weapons
abstract hinge
oh wow. yeah i heard that
median locust
Please don't do relics for a useable weapon
rugged shuttle
Oh i meant Tomestones i get confused between the two
abstract hinge
so if i'm looking to play this game CASUALLY and reach the endgame fast.. this game isnt for me?
simple pine
then no
abstract hinge
hmm
wispy parcel
This is a heavily story based game
abstract hinge
i'm the kind of person that likes to get to endgame
rugged shuttle
You can buy Endgame unlock from Mogstation
median locust
Game takes a while but it's a very casual game
wispy parcel
You are required to do ALL of it
simple pine
just the base game alone takes 60 hours if you do it "fast" and then there are 3 more expansions you have to go through
median locust
I don't recommend skipping anything
wispy parcel
But yea its mostly casual content
median locust
It's a story based game and it's structured like a single player game kinda
So to get to endgame you have to go through all of it
rugged shuttle
Ya the open world is pretty much Single player
wispy parcel
XIV is a JRPG first and an MMO 2nd
rugged shuttle
With some rare exception to world boses
wispy parcel
Is what I always say
abstract hinge
so.. what IS the endgame?
median locust
Whatever you want it to be
wispy parcel
It can be glamour it can be raiding
simple pine
but there is endgame pve in the form of savage trials/raids
median locust
Gearing, making outfits, fishing, crafting, grinding out money, etc
simple pine
basically hard boss fights
wispy parcel
It can be gyping people out of gil on the market board
If you only want hard core raids theres not much in this game but they do take a while to clear
Ultimates take about a week with a static
median locust
A week of raw playtime yeah lol
simple pine
if you find a group to do min ilvl/synched endgame content from older expansions there is a ton of "hardcore pve" to do
abstract hinge
oh i see.. you can just "buy" story progression on the mog station
wispy parcel
You can but its heavily not recommended
abstract hinge
why sorawild
leaden ginkgo
How long will it take to get 3k of those pvp seals?
median locust
Because it's a heavily story focused game
wispy parcel
Since the games expansions are set up like a TV series each expansion is a new season that builds off the last
median locust
If you skip the story, you skip like half the game
wispy parcel
Plus the story is like 60% of the game
simple pine
its fine if you want to though, dont let people tell you what to do with your game

i guess i'm not really into story based games.. b ut i LOVE ff lore and mmo's lol

I don't get what determines what gets to be overmelded and what doesn't.. I had overmelded my neoishgardian ring, but I can't overmeld my augmented one?

nice wilco
simple pine
i didnt buy a skip, just rushed through ARR
abstract hinge
random question.. does the mog station sell level boosts also?
leaden ginkgo
It should write Advanced Melding Forbidden no?
neat stratus
Where can I see my ping ingame?
median locust
Crafted gear can get overmelded. Non-crafted gear can't. Augmented crafted gear doesn't count as crafted.
simple pine
they do
wispy parcel
Yes but as a guy who level boosted Summoner
twilit arch
any gear that says "Advanced Melding Forbidden" cannot be overmelded. when you augment neo ish, you're removing the ability to overmeld it in exchange for higher stats
simple pine
its called story of xx job
river portal
Yeah but why is X overmeldable and Y isn't, that's what trips me I don't see the progression in thinbgs
abstract hinge
ok
leaden ginkgo
Well, is the augmented Neo-Ish better than a penta meld Neo-Ish?
median locust
What is crafted is. What is not crafted isn't, that's it
simple pine
but leveling is very fast, its the story that makes it slow
median locust
Augmented Neo is obtained from a trader therefore it's not crafted in the eyes of the game
wispy parcel
It takes like a week to get a job to cap once you complete the story
By MMO standards thats pretty fast
median locust
And yeah augmented Neo will be better than penta meld neo
The increase in main stat is worth it

thorny bison
trying to get ino the game have a few questions.
have an old account from way back 2011 I want to link said account to steam since I don't want to buy time cards from sketchy websites, where/how do you do that?
also confusing is the dlc system this is what my account info says: https://imgur.com/a/QQH2VSA
If I try to click buy I don't see stormblood only shadowbringers I do see a complete edition but doesnt that make me a totally new account?
all in all SE's account management hasnt improved at all in 9 years.
EDIT: I'm from the EU.
median locust
If you didn't start on Steam, you can't be on Steam ever unless you start a brand new account
twilit arch
there's no way for you to link to steam unless you make a new service account
median locust
If you buy Shadowbringers it'll give you both expacs you need, then all that would be left to do is pay your subscription
thorny bison
Aha Thanks.
obtuse sierra
just unlocked the hunt, any tips for getting the weekly mark done easily?
median locust
There's system messages that tell you when your mark is nearby, pay attention to them
Something like "You sense your mark X yalms to the north east"
thorny bison
Also does SE make an issue if I use the same E-mail adress to open a brand new account?
river portal
also uppon purchase, your first month is covered by the cost of buying the game, subsequent months is when you need to sub
median locust
they already have the base game so they can't get that
For most websites, you can't create 2 accounts for 1 email
so I'd assume you can't
twilit arch
You don't need to make a whole new mogstation account

I'll figure it out now tho thanks for the help 😉
steady halo
Where can I buy/get items to customize my chocobo?
twilit arch
What i am saying is you don't need to make a new mogstation account to start a new account thru steam
make a new service account, buy the complete edition from steam and apply the code to the new service account
you're starting over, yes, but you're not having to go thru the process of making a whole new mogstation account

Okay that helps a lot

can you macro to remove a buff?

faint flare
Think you have rampart at that level and maybe arm's length as cooldown
Can't be in a party for sss
vivid wolf
should i worry about running as DRK instead of PLD?
median locust
They can setup their ACT so it parses everyone then stay next to you while you do it, the dummies are accessible on the map
faint flare
Just do it on a normal dummy for a few mins
vivid wolf
it's my first tank, never really bothered with tanking
but drk is the only one that interests me
simple pine
no its fine
faint flare
It doesn't matter which one
wispy parcel
At that level they both play the same
vivid wolf
alright
simple pine
especially this early all tanks play the same, use tank stance, spam aoe, use defensive skills when pulling a lot of mobs

They're basically the same low level
vivid wolf
someone told me drk and gnb are bad beginner tanks
twilit arch
@ocean herald highland cabbage assuming you've got slow sam set. higher sps sam uses sausages
little swift
Sausage gives more crit but if you don't need the sks cabbage is consistent @ocean herald
faint flare
Not really
simple pine
endgame maybe, but dont worry about it leveling
undone gull
Wtf i activated my Complete Edition Code but i dont got Playtime 
little swift
Its preference on food really
wispy parcel
GNB is slightly harder than other tanks cause ot plays more like a DPS
But its still relatively simple
ocean herald
i have 725 sks and already bis samurai, so stuffed highland is better?
twilit arch
yes
little swift
Depends on if you're okay with having a bit less crit and not moving up an sks tier
You could fiddle with both and see what you like honeslty
ocean herald
i tried it but its the same gcd with cabbage, with my cabbage i have 2.46 with sausage its the same 2.46 with shifu 2.14 both of them
simple shore
I would argue that GNB is slightly "harder" due to volume of buttons it has, and that DRK is slightly "harder" due to MP management (and that mismanaging it can have very bad results)
little swift
So you don't break a tier when you sausage
tidal yarrow
how to deal with thunderstorm + summonal things? should i stay still and dodge on indicators or keep moving.. i fuck it up pretty often there
ocean herald
yes, but crit is better than cabbage, so what do you prefer?
little swift
Then its up to you if you break a crit tier or a det tier
See which stats hit the next tier
When you eat
ocean herald
is 100 det big difference with additional 50-60 crit from sausage?\
faint flare
Dodge the thunderstorms in the lane
ocean herald
0kay i will try

zinc orbitBOT

For your reference
little swift
Now the question here is if 3996 and 4063 are different crit tiers
ocean herald
ahh i see i will see to it later, if it changes crit tiers is better right?
thank you
ocean herald
so sausage is better?
little swift
You get 0.4% more crit

If I wanna look at FF14 vids about classes races viability etc. to what date should I stop looking basicly at what point did the game change so much that the information is irrelevant?

Cross class skills as they were don't exist. Some might have been moved to specific jobs or role-based actions.
But there's no more "level class X to access it's skill in class Y"
gritty oracle
Is it an asshole move to rescue someone (especially casters) into earthly star?
thorny bison
Okay thanks thanks @strange coral
gritty oracle
there's three crossclass skills worth picking up: truth of the forests/mountains/oceans
for gatherers
median locust
That's entirerly a matter of opinion honestly
I absolutely hate any rescue performed on me but I've definitely been petty enough to rescue the tank into my Earthly Star before
strange coral
Usually if some caster/ranged is staying too far back to get covered by aoe heals, I'll just let them hang out by themselves until they get the idea. Let them get super low on health before I heal them.
simple shore
My opinions on rescue are.....hypocritical.
When i'm on healer, i aggressively use it on people who are.....doing things dumb.
When i'm on tank, nothing infuriates me more than being rescued because i was already in the right place.
lol
wispy parcel
Use rescue when needed, but I almost died of a heart attack last time it was used on me
raven glen
how do you inspect other players on a controlle?
wispy parcel
Target them and press square

X ?

The only time I use it is cases where I know for a fact that the player will die if I don't. Stupid stuff like final boss of labyrinth when someone takes too long to get to the pad and such.
median locust
X on an Xbox controller yeah

Yea X to target then square gives you a list of options one of which is inspect

signal gull
got a question, very new to the game. I am currently just doing main quest and wanted to know how to get better rings,necklace etc. I am currently lvl43 and still got my rings from like lvl5-15. regular gear seems to come by every now and then
simple pine
you can buy up to 50 in any major city
weary burrow
should i buy stuff from the grand company or not worth xd
twilit arch
that said, accessories under lvl 50 aren't really that important
tidal yarrow
do they have same amount of hp sss of ramuh and Shiva?
signal gull
is it like a different vendor from the battle gear?
twilit arch
so i wouldn't really worry too much about it. Once you hit 50, you can buy accessories with poetics (which you'll get from running lvl 50/60/70 content) and the msq will also give you them at that point as well

tysm! after 40 minutes i just ended up successful finally
i needed this so much to understand better my rotation
median locust
It means you know your rotation well enough to pass the DPS check but you still gotta keep uptime midfight
which is where the real difficulty is
median locust
Gotta get that down to muscle memory with a loooooooooooooooooot of practice
so you can do your rotation with your eyes closed and can focus on mechanics instead
tidal yarrow
yeah makes sense
if you could choose the ost playing while on sss
world would be a better place
simple pine
cant you use a macro for that?
tidal yarrow
i have zero idea
median locust
to choose the OST nah, but you can mute and play something on youtube or something

if i dye something like the latest summer outfits and store them in the armoire, can it retain the dye i use on it or will it get reset to its basic color?

Wondering if any ps4 users can help? I was trying the preview free trial longtime ago when it was realm reborn, and not the ps store for the free trial is not available because it says I have realm reborn. To try the free trial can I simply download it?

yeah you just download that
the game does its own ingame stuff regarding the free trial

Amazing!

you don't download anything separate for the trial vs the game, in other words

Crafting your own gear isn't worth it on your first class, but can be good on alt jobs
@tidal yarrow Crit chance goes up the more crit you have, same for the crit bonus damage %
simple pine
you will get plenty of gear from the main questline and dungeons for your first class @forest bluff
forest bluff
ah ok, is it wrong for me to spend money on gear from the battlecraft vendor?

Not at all if your leveling

On your first class you shouldn't need to do that, the main story and dungeons give you enough gear

should I do a DoH/DoL class?
wispy parcel
Only once you level cap at least one combat job
Crafting jobs are huge gil investments
median locust
If you want to, it's a nice side activity. But yeah, best time to pick one up is when your first combat job is capped
and you have a little gil to gear it up
halcyon glen
What’s a good recommended Gil starting point for crafter/gatherer leveling?
median locust
If you're only doing Ishgard Restoration gathering everything yourself and starting from 20 I'd say like 2-3m
Mostly because of having to buy vendor gear
But in the end, having your crafters and gatherers up will save you much more money than that so it's worth it
deft tulip
another question: is there anything I should do before HW after finishing ARR?
median locust
Get a level 80 or two to carry you through Binding Coils so you can experience its story, if you can
or else some stuff might not make sense
Gameplay wise though, not really other than the mandatory stuff

Thanks!
halcyon glen
@deft tulip There’s two requires things: the Crystal Tower and the Hard mode Primals
median locust
They're literally MSQ required so I didn't think they were worth pointing out lol
halcyon glen
Besides that, if you can find a level 80 party to carry you unsynced I’d try to do Coils of Bahamut
The raids themselves are frankly too hard to be worth the effort at level, but if you’ve got unsynced friends the story associated with it is great
And there’s some extra dialogue if you’ve started/completed it before the 3.4 iirc MSQ.
deft tulip
yeah no I'm doing the hard mode primals now

Starting racial gear can also be purchased from a vendor near the Aetherite in the three cities

I was about to say that lul

That’s ilvl 5 gear that can be equipped at level 1
Though ilvl doesn’t matter until later
solemn delta
Only just started new content today so can neo gear be upgraded to ilvl 490 now?
Neo ishguardian
median locust
Yeah you can do that, with a material bought with Phantasmagoria
You turn in your gear to a vendor in Eulmore for tokens, then use those tokens + the upgrade item to get the iLv490 gear you want
Make sure you have enough Phantasmagoria mats for everything BEFORE you turn your gear in, because you can't get it back

I'll upgrade a neo one then get new extreme

Little confused about MB taxes. I see something that's being sold in Ishgard - and when I try to buy it from the Jeweled Crozier MB, it's quoting me a price with tax in it. From what I read online, the buyer's tax can be avoided by being in the same city, right?

never heard of those
but also, is it still somewhat efficient? thats what i really wanted to know
little swift
i mean the time spent is the same but its rng whether you receive the materia from the chests
whereas in trains you're guaranteed some amount of clusters
to trade for materia
tidal yarrow
the people who open the chests get the matieria or is it random?

hunt trains are those things related to the weird marketboards at crystarium?

sorta but not really
those are just weekly/daily hunt marks
hunt trains go after the lv80 A ranks in the shadowbringers areas
those have a 4-6hour respawn window
and people go around scouting for them to form a route
in which they call for large groups to kill

One of the abilities that increases HQ chance scales with perception. So at higher class levels, low level items tend to become 100% HQ chance when you use it.
short sparrow
As much as HQ would be nice right now I just feel like I want tons of stuff of any quality if I'm gonna level my DoH/L guys. Which I do want to do.
Is there anything that limits you from being great at all of them? Do you have to specialise?

In that case, having higher GP will help so you can use the abilities that increase yield more often.
