Old outfits are Mogstation
how long are worlds usually full for
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Hardly any time at all if you mean full when logging in.
to create a chara
actually, how big is the exp boost for a server with a star on it
My server is always full, but I never have long to wait.
100% on everything
...
Wish I was on a star server.
thats good
Longer if server stays preferred
kk nvm then gonna go on same DC as IRL friend but preferred server lol
how do i get a secondary DC role on this discord
click on the datacenter you want to add
I'm going to level up my crafters, but I don't have access to Ishgard restoration. What would be the best way of leveling up?
ARR beast tribes? Levequests?
Both
wait until you get access to ishgard lol
Heavensward is free for everyone
but best thing to do is levequest with a levekit
trev I found levequests pretty efficent
I'm not. I have tons of time to kill while I'm waiting for my friends. Leveling my crafters is to kill that time while still doing something useful
until you hit the level for ishgard, then stop levequests and do ishgard
What's a leve kit?
wait is ishgard ishgard restoration?
Leves if no ishgard restoration
I see, I only do levequests rn at level 60 weaver, would ishgard resto be better?
yes
Okay, so leve quests then. Thanks a lot 
damn ty
I went from level 50 ALC to 80 in a few hours
leve kits are when people make a bunch of items for you so you can just turn in the leve.
did they change the amount of exp you get from frontlines?
i only got 2m exp and i didnt see the bonus exp for using roulette
Yes and no. There is a bug where you don't get the bonus xp
wth
I assume it'll be patched soon
wooow thats whack
T_T
okay yeah cause usually im supposed to get like 11m exp total

Hello, My brother Owns FFXIV Physical Disc, he wants the Digital Copy for PS4, Does He have to buy it all over again?
The digital Copy I mean
its a 3yr old post but i believe it should still work https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6cgv7l/how_to_go_from_physical_disc_to_digital_on_ps4/

how can you time the tank LB on the new trial
When he ||starts slashing||
ty
press it like .5 seconds before he uses ||lb4||
iirc
as in
||when the gauge is about to hit LB4||
i think that's what i did last time but it looked like the buff was about to wear off and i got scared lol
I think the snapshot time is waaaay before the animation
thanks for the info
Anyone done the lv 50 summoner quest Primal Burdens? The guy i have to fight is no where to be found
hm is there no purple barrier to the area where you have to fight
Ya i see the tiny purple edge now ... i was looking for someone to click tho lol
nah, just gotta walk thru it
Hey, how do I get the yokai watch? I think I fulfill all the necessary prerequisites (I am level 40 and my MSQ is level 24) but the quest giver isn't anywhere in Ul'dah
Is it restricted for free trial users?
the event hasn't started yet
It hasn't startedd yet
ahhhh
Starts 19th
Can you stack the $13 entry subscription?
Like buying multiple months at once?
I think only with time cards but I might be wrong
Adding more days I think
you cant buy multiple months at once with entry
Oh, I have to wait for entry to expire?
Is there a check list of what to do once you complete ARR?
It charges you automatically when it ends
^
Or you can pay for it after it ends if you don't have it on auto renew
with crysta or whatever
As in 2.0 or 2.5? @granite swan
Um, i dunno? I just got A Recurring Problem, and wanted to do other stuff before i jumped into the next MSQ
I’m guessing standard sub is where you can stack
So 2.0
Are there new glowy weapons in patch 5.3?
do we know the ilvl of the next bozjan relic weapons?
i see
Where can i change the fps limit?
Well there’s a good number of things you need to do eventually and some that are fun to do
- Alliance Raids: The Crystal Tower - a side story featuring three 24-man instances. Good fun, nice story. Becomes mandatory for MSQ eventually
- Raids: The Coils of Bahamut - a VERY DIFFICULT series of 8-man raids complete with its own really nice story. It’s recommended to find some level 80 friends and have them do the actual fights though. They’re really hard.
- Hard Mode Primals - A meh story combined with harder 8-man versions of the primals you’ve fought so far. These also become mandatory to have done before proceeding the MSQ past a certain point
Well i got no friends, much less lv 80s sooo yay :p
@lavish vortex Yes, crafted Tsukuyomi, Suzaku and Seiryu weapons were added. Bozja in 5.35 will also add a new relic step at level 80 with glowy weapons
you dont have to do bahamut
- Level 50 dungeons - there’s a ton of level cap dungeons you can unlock by picking up blue quests around the major cities and Revenants Toll
Bahamut is optional, the other two in the first post eventually aren’t
Yeah you don't haaaaaave to but it's semi important to the plot
Oh and I almost forgot the most important one of all - Hildibrand
system config > display settings
Oml tysm i was getting scared because i had 60 fps ; - ;
I feel i need to do it as a summoner, since i will be using him eventually :p
oh yeah higher lvl summoner makes more sense if you did bahamut
or you could just youtube the cutscenes
The Hildibrand questline is some Very Serious Content that is Totally Very Important to have done
It teaches you how to be a true gentleman
youre locked out of shadowbringers if you dont have the manderville dance
ok thanks 😉 That sounds like it should hold me for awhile lol
Of course, you could always just do CT, hard primals, and then proceed to Heavensward
And by proceed to HW I mean do more MSQ
You have 5 MSQ trials left before HW at least
is sps/sks locked to 2 decimal places or no

Which duty roulette is best to to around level 50 after ARR MSQ? I can do Trials, Leveling, Main Scenario, and lvl50/60/70 Dungeons
Im getting an issue with my mouse it jumps to the chat during a fight, cant seem to work out whats causing it. 1 orbweaver, 1 keyboard and mouse all gaming grade. nothing else plugged other than a second monitor.
Its really annoying as it takes the focus from the fight which makes it hard to tank.
Any ideas?
@solar surge for what
For experience
all of them
Okay, ty
50/60/70 don't give that great exp
at that point you could just spam highest lvl dungeon
Makes sense
and if you're at level 70 spam 69 dungeon not 70 dungeon, same with 59/60
any
Unfortunately at 50 this means aurum vale
Literally mash your keyboard and/or mouse
I did that dungeon once and I never wanna touch it again
one button is enough?
ye
aurum vale and praetorium are some level 50 classics
Same @solar surge
But you can largely skip it once at 50 thanks to unlocking MSQ roulette
pressing only one button would be hard
Which is a free level and change of experience at 50
And then HW leveling dungeons start at 51
wdym
Though you do need to get to HW for that
mashing your whole keyboard would be easier than trying to mash just 1 button
the quick time event is pretty difficult
you can also spam space right
What's the best way to level gatherer's these days? Still spamming the highest level levequest or is there something new since HW?
@vestal pelican I was told ishgard restoration
We then proceeded to wipe to the very next mechanic on our next pull
For gatherers just do gathering in the Diadem and run Leves
Apparently
Do I need to be a certain level to start either of those?
you need to be lv10 to enter diadem (60 on any job to unlock restoration and completed the 3.3 msq)
leves on the other hand can be done at lvl 1
I'm starting all of my DoH/DoL from scratch lol. Tired of being a broke bitch on my RP server.
Gotcha. I'll get to messing around. Ty!
I hear ishgard is great for crafters
its pretty easy breezy for both
So just get them to lv10 then run out to the diadem in ishgard?
diadem is just flying around doing laps for gatherers, sitting in one spot for crafters
ya can do that
i would just make sure you unlock restoration first
unlock is near the ishgard aetheryte
If you plan to start crafting just for Glamour, any point to grab any besides Armorer/Weaver?
yeah, other jobs barring cul make glamour items too
I just unlocked ishgard resto and yeah this seems good for xp xD
Carpenter makes a lot of housing items, right? If my sole goal is housing/glamour for marketboard selling are there any DoH/DoL I should prioritize or should leave out?
cul/fisher tbh are the ones you can ignore.
oki thx
Okie!
leveling the rest will make your life easier in the long run since materials are going to be needed from other crafters
and gatherers ofc can supply base materials
plus it'll help cut down on armoury space
Gotcha. Tyvm. 🙂
I'
I'm lost. Is there something else I have to do to unlock Thavnairian scalepowder at the vendors?
I'm doing the resistance relic weapon quest and it's asking for delivery. I went to both vendors that claimed to sell them and neither do
You're aware for the first weapon, you didn't need to buy it?
you were given it
it's afterwards that purchasing scalepowder is unlocked
I'm level 35 lnc, and have completed the required quest, and have picked up the "Eye of the Dragon" - But how do I get to Ishgard?
to get to coerthas central highlands, head to north shroud
Lol, starting the Corpse Groom quest is awesome, the chocobo keeps coming over to try and listen to what the chibi is sayin
and then go northwest ish
@twilit arch thanks!
for weaver should I prioritise craftsmanship or control
both
craftsmanship = increases how much progress you make
control = how much quality I believe
all the gear at my level rn only has control as an option
what level are you?
yeah that's fine
while you are leveling
just wear the highest level stuff you can get
which fish can you desynth for swim suits? o:
for the most part, gearing is the same for crafting/gathering as it is for combat jobs. higher ilvl is generally going to be better
ideally you want to be using HQ crafted gear
you level so fast via ishgard that its not worth trying to min-max control / craftsmanship early on
but crafting/gathering can get away with NQ
Am i going crazy or did this lalafell face never have eyebrows?
i could have sworn it had eyebrows
how ironic that crafting gear so expensive
uhhh that seems like a bug
Someone shaved them off while she slept
But then again, i never really messed with lalafels in the character creation so
Noticed that I can choose a datacenter, and how would I determine for north America datacenter that works best for me? Connection wise.
All of them are in California
All 3 NA datacenters are located in Cali
iirc all NA DCs are in the same place
Ohhhh
just choose where you think you'll have fun
this is veeery outdated but I based my server off this https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bg78ct/a_comprehensive_server_guide/
Aether is mostly raiding centric, Crystal is mostly newbies and RP
how do you get back to the ishgard restoration place
I'll submit a bug report then
@leaden ginkgo from the main aetheryte crystal > teleport to the Firmament
There's an option on the main aetheryte to teleport there
or can talk to the npc in the brume
if I get to a learning party, can I leave whenever I want during the duty? or do I get penalty
cause since it's a learning, I think it will go for 90 minutes otherwise
just let the people know you gotta dip and apologise. You can leave without penalty if you joined a full group through party finder
(afaik)
You get a penalty if its with randos, with a party no
ah oke
I'd get no penalty then. my worries are that if I start pokeballing as It happens when servers are full like rn I can leave and let them get an other member that is not lagging hard
is there a way to transfer HUD config from 1 chara to another?
if you're on pc yeah
how plz tell
Is there much RP to be found on the game? Started playing today and just had the thought
Not the hero I expected, but the one I needed
Most RP I know of is in the Crystal DC, not sure about the European DC's tho
ping from europe to NA DCs is great so its fine to go NA DC imo
I play on Crystal and im in the UK
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn (assuming you haven't changed default path), and then find the folder of the character you want to copy the UI of (can either look in the log in that folder, creation date or mess with something on your character to change date modified) and then copy addon/hotbar/keybind/macro/uisave dat files and paste them into the character folder of the other character
Say is close, shout is area chat
Say is close, shout is area chat
this
Just because I have yet to see anything come up in the chat really
Yell is slightly bigger say
is the collectable appraiser hwo you level up fast with ishgard resto? because this is confusing T_T
When did they nerf demicrystals??? they used to vendor for 500 gil, now they sell for 9 gil?
most people really don't talk in say or shout unless its some place like limsa
This patch truly
generally people are talking in their free company or linkshell chats
you could join novice network, if you're still a sprout
yes
You do, there's usually a lot of people in limsa
Have yet to encounter one
can either say or shout asking for an invite
Novice network can be a REALLY mixed bag
shout im a sprout at limsa aetherite
Do houses in FFXIV have yards?
and you will get invited near instantly
Because while 'oh you can receive advice from mentors' sounds great on paper
@solar surge yep
if you're a girl miqo you might also get free gil
Alright, ty
if you do the limsa shout I'm new thing
mentors are not actually guaranteed to be any good at the game whatsoever
ye should give the caveat that novice network can be hit or miss, but at the very least it'll give you global chat channel
the novice network is pretty good
So im in Thanalan atm
its like this discord channel but in game
It can be, but it varies heavily depending on your world
How do i learn regen?
say, can you transfer continent?
Should I just keep following the MSQ to get to Limsa?
or just within continental DCs
@leaden ginkgo yes
I'm 35
and yeah uldah is the second hotspot
@leaden ginkgo will do
did you do your lvl 35 job quest?
Thanks for the help guys
Oh it's quest locked?
yeah you need to do your job quest at 35 to unlock regen
I feel a bit overwhelmed by some aspects of the game, but am also really enjoying it
yes
the novice network imo helps with that
I can just ask questions about anything in game and they usually help
job quests should be a priority next to doing the msq
since a fair number of skills are locked behind them
So wait, was crystal a bad choice if i wanted to do dungeons?
no
no
crystal is one of the most active DCs
Crystal has a reputation for being more RP focused than endgame content progression focused
Which is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point, but
^ that too
If you're interested in doing end-game raiding, crystal has a smaller pool to draw from but you can still clear content just fine
does fantasia let me change my characters name?
no, dokka
is it possible to change name?
that's a separate purchase on mogstation. its in additional services
but if you ignore the 'endgame raiding' aspect, crystal is one of the most active DCs for basically everything else
If I buy on mog station will it go on my two characters?
ah i see, thanks
~~even pvp
~~
The outfit
Most of the costumes are not account bound, so no
it will be sent to the character you choose to send it to
When do I choose?
Can we change where we spawn in the house when we join?
Because I have a alt I never use
how do i get a hotbar to only show slots with icons on them? I transfered HUD settings to other chara and the gear does not show up
should be light shortly before confirming payment
it basically has you double and triple check that you are sure you want it to go to that character
and no, as i said its before confirming payment
nah squenx is great
Oh ok
Well fug square enix anyway
Can’t believe they want us buy stuff for every character
😦
@lime sphinx Unsure what you mean, but you can't log in inside houses (beside inn rooms)
or just do as they actually intended and only make one character
for reasons of 'possibly losing access while logged'
well it does clearly state if its account wide or for one character
Is there another high sellable cost item you can buy with Poetics since they nerfed Demicrystals?
if you want stuff for every character you kinda made your own bed tbh
@swift heron could check the price of topsoil
Considering how few people actually run multiple characters, it's not as a bad as it seems.
i would look at the price of topsoil, truly
Ok cool, i'll take a look
and exchange unidentifiable seeds/ore for them
otherwise, can just buy like scaevan accessories to turn in for seals and use the seals to buy glamour prisms or something to sell
Wheres the quest giver for the current event again?
Limsa
upper decks of limsa
arigato
if im looking to do hunts for tomestones of allegory, where/who would i go to so I can do it with others?
@halcyon glen Pretty sure they didn’t intend for just one character
Join a hunt linkshell
Far more so than any other MMO
You can unlock every class and do all content on a single character
@small atlas https://discord.gg/S8fKQvh
the sole, sole and single reason to have multiple characters is for presence on multiple datacenters, or RP flavour
@halcyon zinc everything can be done with a single character just like FFXI, only reason people use alts in other MMO's is for RP and to level crafters
and if you're going to that length for a technicality I don't think it's unfair for square to not accomodate you
like in WoW people make alts cause you can only have 2 crafter professions per character
Or like me who keeps making new characters to redo the story cause you forgot it 😛
can someone help me set up the UI again? ive just returned to ff14 and feel super lost with the skills and rotation
people make multiple characters to get into to raid easily
that might be hard considering everyones UI looks completely different
How can i make my mount go faster?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
How do I make the chat box fade out when its no messages? i cant find it in settingsd
its just always there on top
When setting up a UI you should always try to make it so its more comfortable to you. Since some people hate really cluttered screens, while some people want a billion buttons on their screen
lemme find a great menu guide
this is what Ive done and it has served me very well https://www.dropbox.com/s/mv0vy1sye5zxen3/Interactive UI - FFXIV.pdf?dl=0
Since I am on PC my UI in minimalistic because I hotkey most of my actions and just remember the hotkeys so I can keep my UI as small as possible. On PS4 I have no clue how the skills even work
there's no fade feature for the chatbox
found it years ago
hmm maybe im misremembering. it fades away in custscenes. yeah my bad
yeah the chat box is hidden during cutscenes
unless you hit enter to bring it up, which you can just right click on the bottom bar to bring up the sub menu to hide it
but outside of cutscenes, there's no fade option. you can turn the transparency down though
why does it say this when I have everything?
@tight spoke thanks
You need 5 total of the misletoe
oh
You can see its grey instead of white
I'm stupid, ty
we're all stupid dw
okay so
is it possible for me to transfer
DCs?
costs money but yep
I've come to the realization that
even fron NA to EU? I didnt find the option
I'm probably better off just playing on NA
@twilit arch i got another opinion on the lalafell eyebrows, and they said to add the eyebrows on the facial options, so it might not be a bug
yes. even from NA to EU
okay how do I go about that
if your char is new you can just make a new character
hm, fair. like i said i haven't messed with lalafel character creation
honestly im
@shut oasis
hm, fair. like i said i haven't messed with lalafel character creation
@twilit arch Yeah, its been ages since I did
probably too lazy to do what i've already done, again
so I think I'll just transfer to Crystal
world transfer is under additional services section
once you choose your desired home world, confirm it and then it'll allow to select the world your character is currently on that you want to transfer
thank you
also i was playing on trial, but im pretty sold so
i'll actually buy the game
do i want to be buying Starter's Edition?
if you want everything in one fell swoop, buy the complete edition
complete edition
i believe its still currently on sale right on on SE store
Is anyone able to hit 60fps in Limsa/New Gridania, and what CPU do you have if so?
I think my i7-4770 is on its last leg, I go from 30 to 40 at the most with 67% cpu and ~30% gpu, so this definitely seems CPU bound
ah okay yeah it's on sale
really good deal actually
you can just get to the end of heavensward to make the most out of your first 30 days you get with the complete edition
as in, do that before buying?
yea
how long is it on sale
then again it's up to you if you want the restrictions that come with free trial lifted
til the 19th, but the store gives you a code that you can hold onto
you don't need to use it immediately
download is digital, pc is physical
oh
im stupid
yeah okay
weird question but is there a weaver rotation for level 60 to get high quality? lmao
i would give the pins in #doh-dol-lounge a looksee. it should have a doc with restoration rotations in there. If you're crafting normal recipes, it can still be a good starting point
how do I open the list of all parties available?
i need some help on a quest
i found two quests both titled " Where the heart is" involving houses idk which one i should do
They unlock the housing district as an aetheryte teleport (as well as the option to enter them from the main city entraces)
hello im stuck at the mission where i need to enter sastasha but there is no one to enter with me is there any way to go in there solo?
you technically don't need to do them to unlock the housing districts, it just gives a bit more convenient way of entering them
ive been waiting for 20 mins
Be patient, ques for dps are long
oof
Dungeons are in roulettes so they pop eventually
So uh
trying to transfer
'There are no eligible characters available for a Home World Transfer.'
how many people should you have for tsukuyomi ex
Was your character made on a preferred server
what is this 10
i'm not sure
lol what
If your character was made on a preferred server, you have to wait till that character is 90 days old
how do i remove the little 10? i dont see it on other chara
I see
Character config > hotbars > turn off display hotbar numbers
ty!
Honestly maybe I just stop being lazy
and I make a new character on Crystal
and save my money
is there a limit to how many times you can turn things in in ishgard resto area?
Nope
really? o.o that's a ton of xp then lol
Yep
Is there a website I can go to to see the list of Updated ARR MSQ
wait can a macro not be longer than 15 lines?
15, actually
what do if i want a longer one?
crafting
is there a new beast tribe in the new patch?
Yes
is it worth uncovering the sword?
The dwarves beast tribe quest begins in Khlousia, with the dailies happening in Lakeland
ah ty which tp in khlousia?
Tomra, provides you’ve done the prerequisite quests and have a Disciple of the Hand of level 71 or higher
erm what's the command to use a macro in chat? :o
For dwarf beast tribe dailies, you can only do 3 quests per day?
yep
you can do 6 in one day when you rank up the ttrust / reputation thing with them though :D
if i have the facet gear, and i upgrade to the new set, what's the best usage of that old facet gear?
Desynth
what is FC rank based on? Is it just the amount of members, or are there other factors that go into it?
FC rank increases through FC member contribution

what does the two rows denote for each map in the aether currents window?
one is a magnifier while the other is a footprint or an exclamation mark
when do you unlock new stuff to give to the collectible appraisers in ishgard restoration?
@sudden anchor The magnifier ones are quest rewards. The others are found in the world.
thank you~
@leaden ginkgo You unlock items to craft as you level up in your crafting log they’ll already be there but won’t be craftable unless you have the stats and level for it
I'm lvl 66 but I only have like 6 things I can turn in atm so when I level up I should get more?
Hm well you probably need to level to at least 68-69 to get the 70 items to turn in
ah I see yeah that sounds right at least, I'll see :D ty
Np
what level was my little chocobo?
20
my friend is msq level20 and it still doesn't show
What does " You received a player commendation " mean?
It appears after he joins a grand company
I just got that thing twice
You got a commendation from other people
You can commend people who you think did well at the end of a dungeon
It appears after he joins a grand company
@faint flare the msq makes you do that?
sorry for ping
Yes
oke
You can commend people who you think did well at the end of a dungeon
What's the point of doing that?
to make people smile
Is it just like "you did great" or it actually does something?
also challenge log
no real reason just might aswell
-
its part of a challenge log
-
you need certain amount of commends to become mentor (1500)
-
you get a mount at 3k
O
And its a nice thing to say "You did good kid"
can you farm mounts as unsync'ed? it says enemies yield no exp or items
Gotta spam those emotes to look cool and get more then
Yes greed
Unsync still get chest items
Unsync prevents items dropping directly from mobs
aight ty ty
How does the 3k mount look like, and is there a way to check how many commendations i have?
Its a fat chocobo
OMG IM IN.
You see commends at character > reputation
the fat chocobo is so good
the fat chocoob from comms
Buy ventures, cordials or check the market board for mats that sell
AAAAA I LOVE IT.
Also can i get glamour prisms through the grand company shop thing?
Yes
Oo
Talk to the personnal officer at your grand company
And spend seals
You'll also need to do youe company hunting log at points
Anyone feel like helping me and friend on free trials party up?
how do i unlock bowl of embers hard?
Do the quest line in the waking sands that starts with A Recurring problem
thank you
quick question, whats the best way to lvl? I am currently 47 and need 49 for main quest
Spam dungeons
like randoms or the next from my lvl?
If you haven't done levelling roulette today do that then highest level dungeon
Um sorry to keep adding onto questions but, on the topic of dungeon spamming
If you are the preferred class type should you still run daily roulette
Or should you be running highest level
Adventure in need is basically irrelevant
yeah the adventurer in need is useless at low level
since the xp bonus is so little
And roulettes aren't worth it post the daily run
the only bonus youg et is the xp number it says
Oh I see
its better to just run the highest dungeon after roulettes
I was under the assumption that you got daily reward as long as you matched the class
Alright that helps a lot, thank you
yeah I thought so too at first haha it looks like it would
What are ventures and cordials?
Ventures arw for sending retainers out to gather stuff, cordials are gathering MP pots
Wait are company issued survival manuals good?
Yes
For lvling gatherers?
But there are better ones out there, the revised manuals
What should i spend excess phant and poetics on?
!faq poetics
For poetics
For Phantasmagora, check the prices of materials then sell that
Things like dried hi ether and that
ah thanks!
What's the best hotbar for dancer?
whichever you find easiest
Whatever is most comfortable to you.
there really isn't any correct hotbar layout
As long as you can easily press all your buttons then anything works
my jank mess of a hotbar setup attests to that
ye but i just started as dancer im still not sure about everything i kinda need smth so i can guide myself
Whatever works for you, but ideally keep Cascade, Fountain, Reverse Cascade and Fountainfall near each other as they become your steps for your dances
if you're stuck for ideas, just put the combos next to each other, wail on a practice dummy for 5 minutes and make changes as you see fit
Dancer has like, the least buttons of any job so it shouldn't take long at all
Okie thanks
How do i use glamour prisms?
direct hit stat increases the chance to do more direct hit (essentially a mini crit), which is 25% more damage
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
@lone zephyr
critical hit increase the chance to land critical hit and the damage bonus from critical hit
np
ye*
direct hit and crit can stack too, just a bonus lil info
is there a simplified picture for samurai rotation? or a tuber i should check?
Nevermind I figured it out
!faq samrotation
thanks
If I still have max allowance and gil to spare, is it worth leveling a crafting job from 1-80 using leves? I was told it's faster than Ishgardian Restoration
just a reminder that level 1-15 can be done inside your crafting guild
by doing all low level recipe once for first time bonus, using materials bought from the guild NPC
I recently boosted a crafter on an alt from 30-80 and it took about 600k or so with me crafting the leve items for 30-50
Hey, I recently finished the msq and want to go do the endgame content of ARR and the expansions that I missed on the way through. If I want to do those like how they were when they came out, do I just party find for the content with min ilevel sync and echo disabled?
Ahh ok thanks guys
yes, do take note that it will take a long time to fill up
You’ll have a hard time finding people who want to do old content as it were
imo, a better way is to recruit on discord or in reddit
If u have a fc u may be able to group and just run them
then schedule a time to do this
You can try using this discord but I can’t guarantee any success as I’ve never used it https://discord.gg/GCWvenj
people just doesn't log into the game and think "maybe today someone will put up a min ilvl party for coil"
Its not as exciting if u dont sync. But I was able to duo the arr extreme trials with a fc mate
Alright, thanks for the info
even the new trial letting you see all content* till lv60, still need to buy the base game + shadowbringers?
yes you still need to own the base game to be able to apply shadowbringers to your account
the trial is simply that, a trial. you do not own anything
noob qn...i just accepted a couple of hunt bills in crystarium, where do i view the records? in Journal?
key items
in your key items inventory
ahh ok got it! tks
How worthwhile is it to do the weekly hunt log?
depends if you have a use for the nuts like want the minions or something
in shb its pretty worthwhile
Haven’t played in a while but what is the name of the ACT overlay that looks really nice... kind of vague but there was someone making a really good looking overlay
@leaden ginkgo Nuts? Do you get those from the ARR hunting log also?
from the arr one you get allied seals
lemme check if there's anything you might find useful
ooh allied seals would be worth it i guess
noo its not those ones its a different seal :p
Ah
When it comes to leveling DoH what should I do to level them them past level 50/60? Should I get both Miner and Botanist to 80 first then level a DoH?
not really much useful stuff btu ventures
ishgard restoration
Venture being the retainer thing?
the aetheryte tickets are nice if you're constantly teleporting from one end of the world to the other
ventures yep
and yeah aetheryte tickets can be helpful if you wanna save on gil
they're pretty cheap too for the seal cost
whats the ticket for?
free teleport
aetheryte tickets lets you not have to pay for the teleport fee
Ah
so if teleport is 999g (max teleport cost) can use the ticket instead
Also are the Skysteel tools like the relic's for DoH/DoL?
yes they are
so for King of the Hull, where in gods name is this guy in Limsa? Im at his marker but i cant find him, lol
Thank you!
How do I exactly exchange my ironworks/shire/scaevan gears for augmented? I talked with calamity salvager but still have not found those items. Thanks.
there's ramps leading down
unfortunately ironworks can't be augmented with the salvager, you'll just have to either repurchase the augmented version or make due with the unaugmented version
how to get carbontwine?
for shire/scaevan augment its under the "Deal in Spoils" section
you can't anymore, knockers
I see.

i hate this update i farmed carbontwine and stuff
I got some carbontwine from desynthesizing some gears..
Is it important that we do the hunting log?
for classes, no
bruh then how do i aug this ironwork weapon
The grand company hunting log is somewhat important as its required for promotions
you use poetics to buy augmented ironwork weapon directly
the trading/augment steps are gone
how do we unlock the grand company one?
when you join a grand company, its automatically unlocked
is a grand company something like twin adder?
yes
you can still trade shire/scaeven for augmented stuff with salvager
(yes i know it is stupid that ironwork doesn't do that)
ohhhh im stupid my bad i didnt see it said augmented
twin adders, immortal flames and maelstrom are the three grand companies
👌 , Knockers
you can still augment ironworks provided you already had the items before the update
If ur on ps4. For to hunting log in menu and use the touch pad to scroll to the gc one.
ahh
For whatever reason I get to it with the controls
is it because you can get those items from the Crystal Tower raids?
Needed to use touch pad cursor
or are those gone too?
no
they just made the steps easier
they were all removed
so.... ironworks can be augmented if you bought both gear and mats before 5.3
yes
yep
and existing shire/scaeven just direct trade with salvager
otherwise its only pre augmented when purchased
otherwise, everyone else who got to these part later will just get augmented everything
@twilit arch thanks man!
how do i get more squad recruits?
@twilit arch does the augmented upgrade also cover those gears that was tomestone gear, but are now traded with hunt marks?
yes
nice
you don't have to deal with the augment process at all now
for old tomestone/hunt stuff
At what level do I get my first mount?
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Yooo bet thanks
Quick question, does it matter what grand company I join besides who I pvp against?
Is there any reason ever to turn HQ to NQ?
save slots in inventory
when you don't need/want HQ for whatever reason
i always keep my stock of super low level crafting material at NQ (iron ore, copper ore etc)
because i don't need the small quality boost from them
Seems like its just better to save the HQ stuff
almost always, yes
hunting log is included on squad recruits?
i was just presenting the one case where you don't need HQ/NQ stacks seperately
remember who give the summer quest?
@wise dock nope, only difference between gcs is location and their elite armour sets
Next part of relic weapons comes with 5.35?
which is "i outlevel the crafting materials so much that I can just keep NQ materials, and i don't need HQ on a different stack eating up inventory slot"
does all seasonal event always start in limsa upper deck?
i know that summer and new year are there
i can't be certain about halloween and the anniversary
Check the MB. See if the HQ material sells for significantly more the NQ. If not that much difference, and you need the inventory slot, downgrade it. For example, a HQ Brass Ingot.
oh wait, nvm, some are in new gridania too
I have a quick question, how much time do you save with the new patch on the 2.0 MSQ? As a first time player
No, not all seasonals are in upper decks
halloween is usually gridania, same with christmas
valentine too aint it
yeah
anniversary is... uldah
usually, but not always
@slim scaffold ummm... hard to tell
that's lowerdecks
if you are a first time player... it shouldn't affect you one way or another
all that matters is you have less busy work
near where the flag is
go to main aetherythe, go east into a room, find a stair on the south of the room
climb up
It's just that the MSQ is quite boring and it feels like that they only cut some parts (or made some parts less tedious)
head south.
if you have attuned to all the inner city aetheryte, you want to go for "Aft Castle"
that's it
@twilit arch ty
Any point in doing ARR Relic Weapon?
for glamour
if you like it for glamour
ok
that's the fate for all weapons/armors
where is marketboard?
in major cities, always in the merchant hallway
in limsa, it is west of the main aetheryte
merchant hallway is on the east side in Old Gridania
is flying faster than walking with mount ?
yes
yes
is there a way to turn off the lightning effects? it's doing something really weird graphically for me.... like inverting the colors
Its the fastest
is flight speed affected by mount speed of the area ?
No
No
@granite swan a reminder that relic weapons don't exist for jobs that weren't there in the expansion. For example, Samurai is introduced in Stormblood, so it doesn't have ARR and HW relic, but it does have SB and ShB relic
btw, you automatically unlock flying in ARR region once you finish The Ultimate Weapon story quest, so don't waste your effort getting riding maps to speed up your ground speed
(slightly more steps in HW onward, but that's not important for now)
Hey i need some help, i cannot conect with my character, Farys Mana on the louisoix server, i'm at limsa lominsa and i started the quest about the Housing but i go the Mist at the lower Noscea, but I clicked on the name of a resident to test and now I can no longer connect with my character, the game close by itself
Also isn't the relic weapons in ARR just terrible and only for cosmetic?
Where can you buy Seasonal Miscellany other than the MB? For example, sparklers and champagne. Or were they bought long ago and the remaining supply is being sold
yea, old relic weapons at this point aren't worth getting unless you want it for glamour reasons
the 80s maps are farmable from any gatering spot from an 80 node?
that's why their only purpose, like all obsolete gear, are to be used as glamour
yes
yeah, any lvl 80 node has a chance of spawning maps
also its a hidden item, so if your only goal is the map
you can tap the node, see if its spawned
if not, exit and run to the next node
and just keep doing that until it does
after clicking a few other nodes (there is a logic to this, but it is too long to explain), the previous nodes will refresh
3 I think
technically, 2
but seeing that you are checking for treasure maps, just loop all 6 is fine
What gear is BiS nowadays for Level 80 Gatherer&Crafter? They said hold off on spending big money for Neo-Ish gear because new gear is coming
is neo ishgardian equipment expensive?
pentameld Aesthete will be the BiS... probably till the end?
i don't think another tier is coming
yes, its very very unlikely a new set will be released
at most, we'll possibly get augmented professional gear
is neo ishgardian equipment expensive?
@raven burrow this will vary on what you consider expensive and what world you are on; but generally no, not anymore
but even that won't beat out pentamelded aesthete

So, my friend doesn't have Shadowbringers. Will I still be able to play w/ them if they don't have it? (Say, in ARR and Heavensward)
yes
sure
@dusty jungle i just came back to the game and got like 2mil gil, i suppose thats not enough? my current ilvl is 445
Okay, ty
They say it may cost about 30 million gil to pentameld Level 8 materia into gear. How does that work? Is it that expensive
i will suggest doing both Eden raid (normal) to get some gear first
pentameld means you need to waste materia
because the hidden slots can fail melding
depending on whether you have a stockpile of grade 8 materia, pentamelding is going to be expensive because the more materia you meld, the lower the meld chances become
@dusty jungle i just came back to the game and got like 2mil gil, i suppose thats not enough? my current ilvl is 445
@raven burrow yes, that should be enough, I'd recommend world visiting between others on your DC and finding the cheapest deal for each piece.
hmm alright thanks
i still stick with my recommendation on doing eden raid for gears first
the lowest slot meld is between 5% (grade 7) and 16% (grade 1)
then buy some neo-ishgardian with gil or crystarium with allegory tomestone
sometimes you get lucky, and pentameld on the first try. don't expect that
expect to break a lot of materia
a lot
don't forget that both nier alliance raid give gears too (the newer one are weekly gated, but it gives i490 gear)
@warped nest how so? i mean if i can bump my ilvl to 480ish with gil then doing those raids should become easier, right?
Pentamelding gear doesn't seem worth it, when 30 million can get you a house... So is just regular-melded Aesthete gear good enough/better than Neo-Ish?
normal mode eden verse gives 480 gear
you should be able to get into the first eden raid
Also its not weekly locked anymore, so you can freely farm for a set
the only neo-ishgardian HQ gear i recommend buying right now, if youw ant to make it very easy, is the weapon
if you're not really into end-game crafting, then you definitely don't need aesthete.
I cannot emphasis how important it is to get HQ neo-ishgardian gear if your intent is to use it
Neo ishgardian is combat, aestistate is crafting, they're not really comparable
professional gear is fine for most normal crafting
and if you do want to get aesthete then base melds are fine too
only reason to penta meld is if you want to future proof for 5.4 crafted gear
idk, are these eden verse raids doable at 445 ilvl? also im super rusty, i cant do my rota atm without not watching my skills and get hit by one or two aoes
pentameld aesthete currently also helps crafter to make HQ items with fully NQ materials
normal mode raids are casual content
this helps them save money in the long run
they're not hard at all
^ yep
especially useful for the new tier of DoW/M coming in 5.4
I haven't finished Shadowbringers, so I can't gather mats for Neo-Ish gear, so I have to buy the mats. To buy the mats and craft, it costs about 90k and there's no guarantee that you can make it HQ with just Dwarven Mythril gear. To just buy the HQ Neo-Ish gear costs about 150k.
whats the min ilvl for the 480 gear drop raid?
i455 so you're 10ilvls under
hence my recommendation on getting a HQ neo-ishgardian weapon
EL5 how you get Aesthete gear. There are no online guides out yet
Craft it
Can you buy it? Or are the prices ridiculous
Yes and yes
ridiculous
like 5 days ago
Do you think you can craft Aesthete gear with just Dwarven Mythril gear?
Hellllllllll no
don't think so
You'll be way under the minimum required stats
What about Facet gear?
these high difficulty recipe have minimum stat to gate players off
You'll need melds on facet
yes
Can you make Facet gear with Dwarven Mythril gear?
Yes
we said yes
Need some melds
oh you meant what about facet gear (can i make aesthete with facet)
Yes
so im lvl 54 how hard is gil farming gonna be for me
Crafter progressin is basically Dwarven > Scrip (can skip) > Facet > Aesthete
ok... here's the deal, if you aren't that into crafting and are just trying to test the water, you can technically wait for 6.0
professional with food+tea barely meets the requirements
so can probably do it with lightly melded facet
6.0 level 81/83 gear will be the easiest to get after you have your dwarven stuff
aesthete can potentially last you wayyyy into lvl 87-90 depending on how hard you meld them, but that cost a lot of girl gil
lol, girl
is tonberyy a good server for australians?? is it active??
I made an alt for my sister and now the little dot is under my hotbar instead of in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to fix it?
recalibrate it
I make about 2million a week just selling mid-level gear on the MB with just 2 retainers. Is that a lot? People have said that you can make a lot more selling level 80 3-star food. True?
You have instructions uptop to move it
That for ground based aoes? Just do the L1 + right stick to move it
@leaden ginkgo Tonberry/Kujata are the main English speaking JP servers yes
@leaden ginkgo tonberry is pretty populated with aussies yeah, with kujata being the spill over server
and what vinyl said is useful too, there are additonal instructions on the top-center of your screen
I will repost my question for help because it's really important i cannot play this character and i don't know how to fix it :
i need some help, i cannot conect with my character, Farys Mana on the louisoix server, i'm at limsa lominsa and i started the quest about the Housing but i go the Mist at the lower Noscea, but I clicked on the name of a resident to test and now I can no longer connect with my character, the game close by itself
teaching you how to move it and reset it to default position
ok which one is better out of the two? tonberry im guessing
That dot is for aoes and pet placement but for some reason is not in the middle of my screen.
Put another Miquote on the Barbie!
How do I recalibrate it?
read what Vinyl said
use the skill, but don't confirm placement, look at the top center of the screen
Move with L1 and right stick
if you can get on tonberry, then i'd go there but they're both on the same datacenter so you'll be able group up with people from tonberry even if you're on kujata
ah aight ty
the only con is that you can't join a free company on another server
@gloomy mortar that's okay and of course it depends on what item and server and time as to how much you make selling what but you could be making more money, if you really tried and found a good market you could do 6x that but I would maybe expect 4 mil typically if you were keeping up with constantly selling stuff
Are there any places I can find a tank/healer to level through dungeons with as a DPS in return I will do the same when they level a dps?
