have you completed the main scenario quest "Sylph Management"?
yes
oh wait i talk to one of the poepl at the front of the hall
i found it thanks anyways
#retired-patch-6-3-discussion is marked as NSFW and I need to punch in a date of birth to verify my age?
This is... Normal right?
Yes, it’s because Discord doesn’t let you set a channel as having spoilers so NSFW is the closest thing we can do
Noted
does ping change between data centers as long as you are NA?
So, is there a recommended training for the squadron?
it shouldn't be that different, they're all located in the same location
I just unlocked this feature and was afraid to make some big mistake.
buy the plushy
@inland zenith what training you should do depends on what stats you need for the mission. if you don't have a particular stat requirement you can just do the last training that doesn't adjust stats but just gives exp
yes, from their official store
how to turn off mentor?
sale ends on the 27th
open the social menu > right click on your name > edit status @misty aurora

do primal totems still drop with unsynced parties?
the carbuncle plushie isn't available anymore?
can anyone help me with starting levequests?
@serene musk why? arent they super easy
you talking about the crafters ones?
you really don't have to worry about the dps leves since leveling is easier after this patch?
i don't know how to unlock them
Or actually initiate?
yes @elfin grove
Go to your journal
@twilit arch thank you very much
And click the leve quest then press the button
@outer plank i do not know where to unlock leves or how to
i've been searching on google for 20 minutes and i can't find anything

no, one time password section is optional
you only need to input something there if you have 2fa tied to your account
no worries 🙂
i can't seem to find In for Garuda Awakening since the scions moved. Where do I go for that? thancred isn't giving it...
oh.... hmm
can I get all items from moon fairie festival within 1-2 days?
I would reach lv30 around that time
yeah
nice
where do i get level 60 gathering geare
There's is some way than I can change my server or any way to play whit my friends in other server ?
provided you're on the same data center, you can use world visit to hop to their server
Oh where i can see my data server ?
you can buy lvl 60 gear with scrips though its easier to just push to 61 and buy vendor gear in kugane
so i can buy the complete edition now, and that allows me to buy the complete collector's edition digital upgrade?
What server are you on
Sargatanas
that'd be on aether
so once my SMN could access phoenix i just use phoenix all the time?
Ok thanks
oh ._.
didnt know that
so much button to press mostly i only use 12345 and ctrl 12345 @@
i need a guide for better key positioning or something like that
@smoky raft yes
does gatherer's grace falls off on its own after I reach the EXP threshold?
So I created my character on a preferred server a few days ago but haven't really had time to play yet. Am I just wasting my road to 70 buff at this point and should recreate the character when I'm ready, or is that not how it works? I heard it was like 90 duration on new characters or something to that effect
90 day*
Road to 70 lasts until 90 days pass and when the server stops being preferred.
I personally wouldn’t bother remaking unless you feel like you really need to make the most of it.
@leaden ginkgo is that the name of the buff from the survival manuals? If so then yes
so if they dont specify whether its HQ or not
Don't remember for the others
if the quest doesnt ask for it, dont bother
and I craft NQ
Typically if it doesn't ask for an hq item it doesn't actually HQ
if it wants HQ it will indicate it
@leaden ginkgo is that the name of the buff from the survival manuals? If so then yes
@obsidian patio yes, the same as the survival manuals, I see so I'll just keep going until it falls off, thanks!
For things like leve turn in, If you do HQ, you get bonus exp
But doesn't apply to quests
Yeah, I know that, just wasn't sure with beast tribe
hmm what do you get from killing unreal shiva?
You get to do the Faux Hollow mini game for that week
Which is basically like Battleships/minesweeper where you uncover tile for rewards
are seeds really rare? their price on the MB is a joke
like 1 or 10 gil each
even though the game says they're rare/hidden while gathering
‘Rare’ in the terms of nodes just mean they’re a random spawn
Most low-level seeds are worthless since they give low-level crafting materials and don’t have good cross breeds
Does level sync give the highest possible stats at that level?
If your gear is strong enough, yes.
Otherwise the lower secondary stat may not fully cap out
tks
Many pieces of gear are BiS when synced down. The 'low' stat on the higher ilvl gear will reach the stat cap on the lower ilvl gear. This outweighs the melds you lose in some cases, and in others it is few points of stats behind.
UCoB: ilvl 418 and above will have both stats capped
UWU: ilvl 470 and above will have both stats capped
TEA: no available ilvl cap yet, syncing gear will not cap all substats and will ignore melding slots.
See the calculator below (WIP)
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
UCoB syncs at 345
UWU syncs at 375
TEA syncs at 475
Hi can someone help me with housing glitches pls ):
so im trying to buy 30 days worth of time but its not letting me do it.....any idea as to why?
How long to Yokai?
No changes have been made to your subscription or payment method. is the error I am getting
yokai will be until 5.4 release
oof
if you're an old player who doesn't own the expansions, can you play ff14 for free now up till the expansions?
No
no
having bought the game means you still need a sub to play
Only new accounts get HW for free
Thank you 🙂
people who own the starter edition also receive heavensward for free
does Eureka give phantasmagoria?
But you can't play for free, you have to sub
decent way to get it?
Depends on activuty in eureka
If its murdertrain, thrn Id say its one of the better wqys to get it
If you are alone in there, not so much
I can't use Afflatus Solace for some reason
Lvl sync?
do you have a lily
wat
because the afflatus spells require you to have a lily to be able to use them
your job gauge
Every 30sec in combat you get a lily
Oh
can anyone help me with the problem i stated earlier?
52 is Heavensward content?
yes
@gaunt depot Sounds like they have problem to procces yoir payment
Alrighty tysm
We have very little information to work with
Like what is your platform?
paymemt method ec t.
You said very little
im trying to buy 30 days of time with my visa debit card for the ps4. it keeps saying no changes were made to the account. IT verfied my card though and i have the money in my account to buy it

@young fjord does that help at all?
anyone?
figured it out...it automatically charges my account
@nova wraith Yes
yup just clear your mailbox
Clean mailbox, then press "request items" button
1)If i purchase the game my free character gets carried over right?
2)Do I need a sub from level 1 or is it after level 60?
after lv 60
can you do benchmarking in the game?
ohh thanks
Hi! I’m switching movement settings to standard type for E7S teleport mechanic, but when I press back to Walk backwards, the character walks very slowly, can I change that speed somewhere! Or that’s the way that movement type is? (I’m playing con controller on PS4)
Thats why you always go sideways
is there a greatsword in game that looks like guts' one from berserks?
Is there a better way to get rid of old, low lv weapons other than simply discarding?
and we all got sent to an area we can't get out of
@honest anvil Vendor for Gill or Company seals
so sell at any merchant is fine?
Desynth if you have crafters above 30
the map looks normal but the area we're in looks like the boss rooms
Ita not like you cant get them again should you wish so
hey guys, I'm level 47 and need to grind up to 49. I'm just getting in for duties, but am curious about the daily leveling roulette. What exactyly are dailies in this game and how do i find them?
and we can't /return either
@nova wraith Did you press the button I told you?
Be patient @nova wraith, its not instant
Panick after its been several hours to a day
@young fjord oh so anything can be discarded/ sold can purchased again?
Everything is obtainable somewhere
I mean you can get it again somewhere
we have no idea what to do beyond abandoning
the area looks like the boss arena
but we seem to have solved it by logging out and in
Will this game work on
I5 3rd gen and gtx1650 super ?
Or should I keep playing on ps4¿
@icy beacon Try #technology-discussion
you can also test on
!benchmark
!faq benchmark
Ok, but no need to worry, you got receit of transactiob should something happen
Ok
Is it possible to have the sound even when we are ALT TAB ? will be easier to know when we find a party
@river solar Im pretty sure there is a setting which allpwed sound to be ran when game is minimized
system config > sound > play sounds when window is not active
sound effect to get the sound when we find a party?
system sounds
thx alot
How are silver chocobo feathers gotten? Only RaF?
yup
you also receive 10 if you make a character on a preferred server
or transfer to one
RaF?
recruit a friend
er sorry transfer is gold feathers, not silver
for someone who is endgame, which is easier? scholar or astrologian ?
Do veteran rewards reset if you don’t renew?
no
@slate carbon To play "just good enough" AST is easier
To optimize AST is harder
imo
I am going into e5s as a healer and I dont know which one I should go as, I think im pretty good with both
those are vista points
Its places for ya sight seeing spots
usually /lookout will complete them
^
aha jk ^_^
You'll receive a message that says "You're arrived at a vista"
Sometimes its /lookout, sometimes /pray
Pray is if it"s like.. a big statue or something sometimes
Sometimes even /sit
Does DRG ever get more fun? Im 40 now and sick and tired of 12312312314 rinse repeat lol, need more then 1 measly combo

Question, for bard preformance mode, you cant just make a song macro can you? Do u have to manually play song each time?
Yes, or use illegal 3rd party software
@upper mortar people also use a thing called bard music player (bmp) which reads midi files and plays then through the instrument
Its software which makes button presses for you, its botting.
Now if you use it in your house no one will notice.
If you pretend to be DJ limsaxD and someone reports you. you are in trouble
for custom deliveries i only have zhloe unlocked and im almost through stormblood - is there any others i should be able to unlock atm or just zhloe?
No, 2nd requires 4.1 complete to unlock
Ok so i have a question about darkside the little number just means how long the buff lasts riggt?
Hello if i buy the square enix complete collectors edition do i have to start again account wise, I have the game currently on steam I have standard edition and I was wondering if i buy the game on square enix would that be a new account or can i just upgrade my account via mogstation?
yes you would have to make a new account
You would need a new account to use a non-steam license
should specifically say you would need a new service account, you could use the same mogstation account
but you're starting over either way
Ah
@tulip plover yes that's the remaining duration
And it also affect aoe?
is it possible to make a macro to change Movement type from standard to legacy type back and forth?
hi how do u join a free company?
All damage you do
Ok
Yes flood of darkness also applies and is affected
And basically you want to keep it at 60?
@lavish vortex pretty sure not.
Hi I'm a very new player(3hrs in as of today and playing on the standalone client thingy).Right now I'm solo playing gladiator class and thinking of going to paladin. I really love the game and such, I see myself playing it for a very long time.
I have a few questions:
-So right now I'm running the trial version, should I buy the game as soon as possible or wait till after the trial ends? When I buy the game does my previous progress get lost?
-When I buy the game, thinking of switching to Dark Knight or GunBreaker-so how does that work? Is it also level locked for the jobs?
-Where do I look to join a clan, preferably one with new players so I can grind the game with?
Thank you in advance for your guys time and responses!
No, just make sure it doesn’t fall off
@leaden ginkgo Ither get invitee or apply to one
Ok
@obsidian patio thanks
ty for help
where can i apply @young fjord
No its mana management you'll need mana for the blackest night@tulip plover
@limpid sorrel up to you on when you want to buy the base game, as the difference from trial to base game is only the limitations of the free trial. They have access to the same content
And how do you enchant steelworks?
!faq freetrial
I mean ironworks
For other jobs, each one has their own levels and is as easy as switching your main hand weapon.
You have to go to the calamity salvager now to upgrade any unupgraded stuff you still have
It should be in the “deal in spoils” section of their menu
question here i got both war and drk at max levels who is the better dps?
Theyre the same basically
ironworks you just have to either make due with unaugmented or buy the augmented version from mor dhona/starting cities
Ah ok
ok
tbh i wouldnt bother rebuying the augmented version
augmented you can dye, and some pieces look good for glamour. that would be the only reason to do it
Ok i gotcha
Augmenting makes the gear stronger.
Also 10 ilvls of stats
yeah, but theres not outstanding reason youre gonna keep it for the stats
yeah, talking about if its the first job being leveled
@obsidian patio Thank you for that info!
unless you already have a stockpile poetics, its not worth the cost to buy the augmented set
hi guys quick questions, Im a level 30 rogue trying to become a ninja. and I cant seem to find the questline to let me become it
yeah the 10 ilvls aren’t worth the poetics for ironworks tbh
playing the free trail aslo
!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.
What dungeon should i use to get to 61 from 60?
gubal
Gubal normal
kk
In the FC list, what’s it mean when there’s a message image with three dots?
That is their FC “quote” which is something you can attach to yourself in the FC menu
If you’re at the submenu I’m thinking of.
is there a guide link on what to spend scripts on? not sure if i should be spending time getting scrips or not
Grade 7 and 8 materia are probably good right now to spend it on. Slithersand is also good as it’s used to make the new crafting/gathering sets.
Basically if you don’t want the scrip gear and you don’t need/already bought the Mastercraft books then look up the items on the marketboard and see what sells best
is there stuff i should be getting first thats needed?
like for crafting scrips i got the books 1-8, should i be doing the same for gathering scrips and getting the folklore books or are they not really needed
If you want to supply yourself for crafting endgame stuff then you’ll want the folklore books
Seeing everyone flying around while doing MSQ, is that something I unlock later?
Yes.
also is there a way to see what daily turnins u have for scrips besides going to the npc?
The turn-ins don’t change anymore, they’re always the same now
Curious because it won’t let me click.
Oh for those I think that’s part of their search info?
In which case your right-click their name and look through there
that means that have something written in their search info comment, which you can see by right clicking on their name
Is there any WHM rotation guide or am I just supposed to heal when low and buff when full lol?
!faq healerguide
is basically the white mage guide
Tysm
because white mage really doesn't need a guide, its the most straight forward of healers
The general rule of thumb is to use your Ability to heal, over your Spell
To save MP
Quick Question. Someone mentioned a bit ago that they didnt want to waste MSQ Xp, can someone explain this to me because now I'm worried that I'm rushing MSQ.
currently rushing MSQ because its at level 28 and im level 40
Then it is learning the pro and cons of each healing tools you have
So edge and flood of dsrkness stack?
They both add to your darkside
and refresh it if you have it
Ah
Flood should always be used at 2+ targets
@leaden ginkgo if you're on a preferred server its very easy to overlevel your msq
@leaden ginkgo it will be wasted only if you are capped
Questions so I looked up an npc location to buy something and it say like Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:10.5 Y:9.5) , is there any way to like add a marker to that location or i have to just look at the map and mouse over to find where X:10.5 Y:9.5 is in ul'dah?
That said, its not really something to worry too much about unless you're like lvl 60 doing lvl 45 quests
Though, annoyingly, Quietus is only good at 3+
because then you're pretty overleveled and likely going to hit cap before you're even done with msq
Hi people. At what level do we get the Soul Crystal?
!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.
That
@twilit arch gotcha, thanks so much@warped nest
I see, thanks.
Freebie tip: save your class/job as gearsets in your character info
also don't sell gear you have set as your gear set XD
When you change gearset, you change job/class automatically, including the saved equipment
i sold half my pally gear when i went tolvl a ninja and was cleaing out my inv >.>
Wait rq just because im not sure how it works, when I start my second job, does msq restart? or do I level by doing side missions etc
!faq altlvlguide
no, you have to lvl off other stuff
With road to 70 buff, You can do side mission, but other choices are even better
turn ins dont change anymore?
nope
whats the point of there being a collectable for certain items if we cant turn them in for scrips?
collectables are now static
sweet, thanks for the link
like why would they even allow it to be collectable
Ok how the heck do you read the Duty Finder? I swear this thing said id get 2k+ Storm Seals for doing it, but i only got like 500?
you can't turn in normal items anymore
You no longer make collectibles from existing functional recipes, like a sword
gathering collectables
gathering collectables never really changed
like it lets me change glass eye for botanist into a collectable - but i cant turn this collectable into a script
so its not like anything on that front changed
so why is it letting me collect it if it nots a turn in
it is
They are not a turn in for today
its a custom delivery
not a splendors turn in
there are 3 sets of collectables: splendors, custom delivery, and aetherial reduction
will it ever be a splendors turn in?
No
Nope
its not meant to be turned in ever for splendors
so the splendors list is always the same?
@granite swan some duty roulette offer Adventurer in Need bonus
@warped nest Is that what the bigger # is?
So you really only need to use blood weapon if your having trouble with mp
No
Use it on cooldown
And make sure you don't waste the MP it regenerate
By using edge/flood to spend your MP
@warped nest Well i already did it so it only shows the 2520 now, but it shows healer need
That's the Adventure In Need bonus
so dont bother doin it if u cant get the bonus, gotcha
So if you queue with Dps or tank, you still get the usual big fat daily bonus
If you queue with healer
adventurer in need is generally not worth it
You get big fat + a lil more on top
especially if you're using that roulette for leveling
well i got 500 measly seals, adventurer in needs gets 2500 ... >.>
Ah, well im xp capped heh
If you are desperate for seal, you can do it
I have all my crafters at Level 80. Anything else I can do with a bunch of Engineering Manuals? Just sell them for 100 Gil?
You can stock them for 6.0
what is the item "wild popoto" used for?
But I can assure you they will be nerfed
botanist quest
so if i completed quest i shuold just toss the excess?
yes
ok ty
does it take long after redeeming a fantasia for it to arrive in game? bought one 40 ish minutes ago and even requested through mogmail button but no mail has arrived yet
Which gives more exp from 40 to 50 potd or dungeons
dungeons if the queues are fast
@fiery urchin definitely should've gotten it by now. Maybe your inbox is full of old mail you need to delete?
@obsidian patio not the case :(
i even made sure it was sent to the proper character and everything :( hopefully its nothing serious, i redeemed the item at 11:57 so it's been a little bit over an hour
do i level astro or sam? cant decide
entirely up to you. can't really compare them since they're entirely separate roles.
Hi I am new to the game, currently on a free trial to test the waters. Is it possible to unlock ninja on a free trial account?

easiest way to get access to rogue early on is to start as arcanist or marauder and then once you complete their lvl 10 class quest
you can do the quest to change to rogue
Question about astro. Im running potd to lvl it from 47 to 50 bc i hate aurum vale and im undergeared until shire. Anyways, im playing cards and not getting the seal. Is there a specific reason why?
you need to be in combat to get seals when you play a card
so make sure you're using combust or something before playing the card
oh ok
@deft quiver I also recommend casting Asp bene or asp Helios pre-pull so the moment the tank hits the boss, you're in combat. Combust is sometimes a bit slow on putting you in combat.
alright
in potd with maxed attack doesnt really matter
but ill keep that in mind when i start running higher level stuff
when someone mentions alt, do they mean alternate accounts or alternate jobs within the same character
most of the time, alt job
Or alternate character on the same account
Alt jobs are usually referred to as alt jobs
okay sweet, looking at how to level my character efficiently and a lot of guides talk about leveling alts etc so im assuming the way to level your main or original job is just through msq?
is there a collectables menu that you can access remotely
any good way to get clusters besisdes going to mor dhona and mining / gathering them myself?
and besides marketboard
aetherial reduction
you're going to be gated by msq so you might as well get your xp through there @leaden ginkgo
if you somehow are missing xp just do the highest level dungeon available to you
basically you gather ephemeral node items and then reduce them
basically like normal collecting but you try to get the value as high as possible for better results
what counts as an ephermeral node item?
things like black soil or doman yellow
they're labelled as such through their tooltip stating "Reducible: (insert level and gatherer here)"
the gathering log also shows them as a timed node
Did you check both arm and armour?
are ephiermal nodes timed events?
is the only way to see what collectables you can get is through the npc?
how many crystals u get per?
Iiiidk I just go to Mor Dhona to stock up if I run out of crystals
What is the yellow bar I see in duties above people’s names?
In the party list? Probably the shielded amount of hp they got
is it still possible to get non augmented poetic rings
nope
oof
oh well that's a shame
can you wrap items for gifts?
Is there any way you can see your character stats in different ways... like %?
i mean it only really makes sense for Direct hit, Crit and Skill Speed
but still xd
new player questions: I am level 19, but he level 14 main quest is in red.
any suggestion please?
You need to equip the special helmet
you need to equip the earring the game gave you a little while back
Ohh
@clever pasture no way to see the exact "power" of your secondary stats ingame
Aight, thank you
there are calculatrs that tell you your crit percentages and their crit multipliers etc, but there's no way to tell ingame
It worked, thank you
Eh, Im just leveling right now in the trial anyway but was curious
I'll get into that later then
thank you
Yeah its more of an endgame thing to be prioritizing stats etc
Just focus on getting higher level gear and msq 👍
I was tryin to figure out wtf "Voice of the Lust" was ... but its Just isnt it? Lol
Its okay, play at your own pace. Enjoy the content at the speed you want it!
Im enjoying the story big time, a nice fresh breeze coming from WoW
Can't wait to get my hands on Machinist tho, looks really cool
should i do the relic weapon quest line?
is there any party finder discord? :V
only if you want it for glamour and even then its not recommend to do until you're max lvl
got it, thanks!
Just ran a glorious Dzemael Darkhold until the first boss, after the teleport, we realized that one of the dps got yeet. He's a new player on trial/free account. I think he got teleported back to town during the teleport (from the first boss to the next area). Is this common for players on trial? None of us kicked him and he said that in town, he could still see us in party
best way to farm poetics?
@river creek report this in game
Im on Trial and this never happened to me
This is probably a bug
uhm yeah that shouldn't be possible
Hunt trains, roulettes, Eureka, "first time bonuses" via old raids
are good source of poetics
Anyone can report this?
support desk > contact us > report a bug
I assume that your party is match made by the duty finder right?
ya
Also @foggy surge , are you talking about shadowbringers relic or older content like Anima/Eureka?
or at least I was duty found
Definitely include the details on the party made up, who is queueing with duty finder, and who are partied up beforehand
If shadowbringer relic, definitely as its a free road to a good weapon when 5.35 comes out. If not, do it for glamour
how can i identify if it's shadowbringer relic?
What did you have inmind?
If the quest is 80, its shadowbringers
Eureka is the 70 one while anima 60 and Zodiac level 50
After Neo ish, are the only ways to upgrade 1) buying/crafting more neo ish to trade in and augment 2) Crystarium with allegory?
Shadowbringer one is the Save the Queen questline
Neo upgrade to 490, while allegory at 490 upgrades to 500
Savage raid drops 500
Don't forget that EX gives weapons too
yeah
how do i use mooch
i would like to upgrade my gear on my current level (54) and i saw cheapest and fastest is to farm poetics
!action mooch
Mooch only works on some HQ fishes
even when i get a bite i cant use mooch
am i supposed to use it after a reel
or before
not all fish can be used for mooch
When you reel in a fish
Think of it like fishing a bait fish
Then use the bait fish to fish a bigger fish
Level 50-59 Augmented Ironworks is great until dungeon gear replace it
Lvl 53 dungeon will drop gears with the same ilvl as augmented ironworks
Level 60-69 Augmented Shire and dungeon gear as you get them, and at level 70 to 80 Augmented Scaeven gear
just like higher tiers
So 55 is when you should start thinking about swapping out pieces
If you aren't sure where to acquire the armor itself, there are vendors in main cities like Gridania called "Rowena "something that sell it directly
for poetics
Rowena's Representative
^
so, i don't have to be in mor dhona to get them?
yep
quick question, will I ever need more than one set for the summer flame glamours or am I good with just one set?
They are right by the aetheryte too
one set is all you realistically need
At least the Limsa one is
thanks
they all are
Hello! My friend is having trouble on locating where he's supposed to enter my referral code
he needs to purchase and upgrade to the full game first
yes
where do we go to upgrade tome gear from the 24 man?
Thanks Kaelwryn, I really appreciate it!
cant find it in eulmore
fathard is the npc you talk to to buy the crystarium augment tokens
he should be standing near the phanta/allegory npc
ayep
and the 5.4 set will require 3
one from copied, one from puppet and one from the 3rd nier raid
Is there anyway to disable the visuals of only a specific effect? Tired of dieing cuz dark knights spam their abyss teeth thing covering the orange alerts ;p
not specific effects no
best you can do its put battle effects to limited
which removes all but the ground effects
rip the ground effect is what i need gone lol
Not those ground effects
abyssal drain (i assume is what you're talking about)
oh like the buff circles?
is not a ground effect
The ground effects like regen bubble
technically everything is ground effect because the animation is done on the ground
actually stone teeth sounds more like unleashed 
Abyssal drain is the black sea urchin
Unleash is the basic AoE of DRK
Abyssal Drain is that spiky ball thing that explodes into a black bubble
!action Unleash
Probly unleashed then
Ahhh... It is not drawn in the icon
yeah dark knights will use unleash a lot
Ah well, if limited can remove that then im good :p
tfw stalwart soul isnt a thing until 72
I would like to do this.. but I cant open with Egi Assault? How is that? My pet isnt in engaged in combat or something ? How can I start with Egi Assault ?
you need to be in combat to use egi assault, so use a ruin 3 first
and then egi assault
you also use sic about 1s before pull, while precasting the r3
isnt ruin what you use first before you do egi assults?
ye
hey guys, starting from 0 right now as a 492 ilvl pala, how long would you think I'd need to finish the HW relic? never done them
depends on how much you're willing to put in grinding poetics
since anima is largely a poetic grind
can probably get it done in a week or two, less if you sit down and grind
I do want to point out that it is more tedious the first time around
Because you'd need to do all the quests to unlock stuff
Your 2nd and 3rd HW relic will be a whole lot easier because you can stock up the items beforehand
kk, thank you two for the help ^^
haha ... Hero on the Half Shell
Lots of quest names, fates, and leves have references if you look deep enough 😛
like the level 78 Blacksmith Leve called "Bae Blade"
has anyone had to deal with square restricting your access until you confirm your email?
my account is super old so I don't know what my email is.
i mean it happened to me when i bought a new pc recently but i knew my email so 🤷
Hi guys, i got a problem, my subscription was at like 25 days left, but now i got 39 days 😮 What happened ?
15 free days from leveling up to 30 on a preferred world
where are the combat dummies?
the easiest one to access for new players is in summerford farms
or in someone rando's housing plot in any housing area
in black shroud?
in middle la noscea
thx
If I play 4-6 hours a day, read most interesting mainline quest and I'm just at the second dungeon in Gridania storywise but lvl 36, in how much days will I be able to hit the lvl 50 mark? 🤔
What might stop you from being able to Need on a piece of gear that is a massive upgrade? Just ran Stone Vigil and all the gear was huge upgrade, but it wouldnt let me Need any of it
Running as DRG and it had DRG listed as usable
unfortunately ARR has some weird gear pieces in that while DRG is listed, its not meant for them
its a tank piece
I heard that SMN have a pretty strict opening rotation in higher level, is that correct?
Is there an easiest crafting class? I’d just be doing for beast tribes, probably
most jobs have a strict specific order of skills you want to start with (an opener), smn just has a fairly long one
I see, since I want to bring some kind of utility to the team (rdm's raise, heal; smn raise or dnc buffs)
all of the crafting classes have the exact same skills.
But i can't skim on dmg as well
but in terms of leveling up, the most "independent" ones would be culinarian or alchemist as they rely the least on the other crafting classes for materials.
Coming from casual healer mentality complex/long rotations feels a bit intimidating to me lol
play rdm then, it's still way above dnc and brd in raw dps if parsed in a vacuum
I see. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll go with rdm next then
Fishing leans a bit toward RNG though
I heard culinary is a huge toll on inventory. Is alchemist lighter on that end?
Just like any other crafter imo
all crafter take a toll on your inventory
Both Culinarian and alchemist
While Culinarian needs up to 6 different types of raw materials
You aren't saving inventory slots with other crafters too
If I need to make a staff with my carpenter
I will need to process wood in to lumber before I can turn lumber + whatev into a staff
Wood and lumber takes up two slots
Is there any way to get rid of the stupid wind flowing behind you effect that appears when you're flying with mounts?
Been doing large scale ishgard leves to level my miner, was wondering if there's a way to turn in the leves as soon as I reach the amount of items required or if I really need to finish gathering all nodes
you have to gather all the nodes in the leve : \
@leaden ginkgo no

Dang
Does it bother you that much?
Greetings, i have a question about BLM. It's been almost 2 years since ive touch this class.
My BLM currently at lvl 66.
My question is, when should i use flare ?
Do i need fire 1, Blizzard 1 and 2 ?
i have unlock triple cast, but not sure when to use it either xD
Does level roulette only get up to lvl50?
Where do screenshots go?
!faq blmleveling
@jade storm
Thank you 😄
fire one and blizzard one is still useful
oh i see 😮
blizzard 2 is basically worthless now that you have freeze
hmmm, yeah that made sense
@slate crow leveling roulette has all non-50/60/70/80 dungeons
so 15-49, 51-59, 61-69, and 71-79
is spamming the ranged attacks for tanks like unmend and lightning shot a good way to keep aggro? because i know im out damage the other tank, and hes just spamming his ranged
And your aoe
Where do screenshots go?
@granite swan my screenshot goes to : Document>mygames>Final fantasy14>Screenshot
Spamming your ranged move is extremely bad
@obsidian patio thanks a lot wynne that helps a ton 😄
not for damage i mean for aggro
@jade storm Ah, thanks
👍
i know for a fact im out damaging this tank, but hes weaving his unmend and i cant take aggro lol
Weird. My lvl 54-58 dragoon keeps getting under 50 dungeons
leveling roulette will give us under lvl 50 dungeon.
And im pretty sure lvl 50/60/70 will not
Do you have their hard modes unlocked?
can someone explain that ishgard restoration thing to me? still dont really get it
all i get is that crafters > gatherers for some reason
my botanist is like lvl 30 or so max, is that enough for the restoration?
@radiant brook if the other tank is that hellbent on being the main tank i just let them take it IMO. You can't really beat a tank spamming provoke and ranged move.
And if they die they die
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@vivid wolf yes, go to the firmament and you can go to the diadem and gather unique items to bring back for scrips and those unique items are then used for crafting unique items to turn in for scrips and xp for crafters
but this is my house T_T
are all the scrips the same, or does gatherer/crafter get a different type of scrips?
There's always the magical power of asking them why they're spamming provoke/ranged move 😛
All scrips are the same
crafters and gatherers use different types
For Ishgard restoration Wynne
ah
thank you
does level matter a lot? or can i do all restoration content with my lvl 30 botanist?
albeit slower probably
Yeah it'll be slower
Higher level items will give more scrips
But otherwise it's fine
You can't do the ishgard custom deliveries tho with Ehll Tou
You can start restoration as a level 10 gatherer or a level 20 crafter
Is the sister from the twin in the story coming back or what? She just ditch the brother in ARR
hey i need to get my heavensward summoner quests but i cant find them
She's coming back.
Oh ok good
Infamous, look at your class quest tracker, right under the MSQ tracker
@still iris you are in Heavensward region yet?
Lol
ik there is post but im close
OK... Do what Vie said
ok thnx chat
I've been having a look at some rotations and openers at end game. And I must say. That looks intimidating af. It's like 50+ skills I'm the exact order or you fucked up? :p it probably looks way harder then it actually is and it will come naturally when practiced. I am wondering if that's correct tho:p it looks like you need to be a professional piano player to execute this properly xD I'm coming from wow which is basically 6-10 buttons including personal dps cds and u hit em as priority. Done. Doing all these 50 buttons order thingy and mechanics... Well... That's gonna take a while :p
what is the fastest way to level up the crafter?
@neat stratus all these are built on logic
And reasoning
Rotations are never built on "because we said so"
@noble current bought with 80k MGP at the gold saucer
should be in the first prize exchange category
80k holy molly
Furthermore, there are community made graphics to break down the rotation into simpler chunk for you to review
welp no chance for me to get it i guess cause idk how gold saucer works 
Same lol
80k is pretty easy to get casually.
I dunno how button works on Wow, but you can arrange buttons in XIV to assist you with your rotation
@neat stratus The game really eases you into your rotation (unless you're a summoner or black mage). Plus 50+ buttons is an exaggeration. In battle, you're using like 25 regularly and a further 5-7 situationally.
@warped nest I think it's the "simpler" version breakdown I've been looking at. Maybe not
Don't forget the mini cactpot
oh wait, fashion report is basically: just get specific gear and show it to an npc in gold saucer?
@gritty oracle playing SMN
hey guys i have a quick question, so for foods and medicines, there is a max value within the bracket, what does that stand for?
@crystal shoal the maximum buff
that's the maximum that specific food can buff that stat by
Is that normal that i'm struggling to do my samourai lvl 54 quest ( i'm lvl 55 )
yes
yes
oh
the higher the better?
that quest is pretty tightly tuned
its the hardest job quest by far
you probably want i130 gear for it.
So if it says +10% (20),it means that it can buff 10% but not more than 20
The last guy rekted me
!item stuffed highland Cabbage
*This traditional dish of minced meat seasoned and packed inside leafy highland cabbage, then stewed in a light broth, is sure to warm you up on the coldest of nights.
EXP Bonus: +3% Duration: 30m
(Duration can be extended to 60m by consuming multiple servings)*
8% [81] (10% [101] HQ)
8% [134] (10% [168] HQ)
8% [172] (10% [215] HQ)
wait i dont understand#
So if you use it on a stat with 300, it will only goes up to 320
Yeah SMN is a galaxy brain job, pretty complicated to get into. Focus on one thing at a time, usually your trances. Then slowly add dot management, Aetherflow, egi assaults etc.
@gritty oracle and yeh I don't mean 50 different buttons. But in an "opener" you have a set order of maybe 25 buttons that you press multiple times in an order of 50+++ clicks
This food buffs Crit/Det/Vit by 10% of your total amount, but only up to the specified maximum amounts of 101, 168, and 215
In another world, This food buff a stat by X% or Y points, whichever is lower
Isnt sam gear easily get you 130?
No
What...
As RDM my opener is like 14 different buttons (from pre-pull to the end of my first combo), as healer it's usually dependent on the fight (how heavy prepull mitigation is needed, do I need to get out divination super early, do I need whisper etc)
Samurai gear from the starting quest is 115
And it is only armor and weapon, not accessories
Hey guys, Ive played FFXIV last year but not a lot so I am still fairly new, and I am returning. I wanted to resub again and bought Crysta through PayPal, the transaction happened and payment was made , but the Crysta was not added and I got an Error 24202 T-T , How can I resolve this problem?
So the actual ilvl can be lower or higher
the weapon is also normal quality which makes it worse
will the bees knees stay or is it a timed thing to buy?
stay
But the gear stat is correct for the ilvl right, Wynne?
can I use this as glam? https://xivstyle.com/dol/crafted/level71-80/level80-430/
The game eases you into your rotation, don't worry. If you still find yourself overwhelmed, either do a lowish level dungeon synced so you have a limited kit to work with, or just whack at a training dummy until you get it down.
any equipment can be used as glamour
Go to support blue
If you can wear it and the gear you glam it to is higher level, yes
my friend is saying it's class limited
You can glam what you can wear as the xlass
yes, only gatherers can use it
Ah, yes some gear are
but gatherers still have access to glamouring
So you can't glam a Mage gear to look like tank gear
can I be an astrologian with that specific glam?
@leaden ginkgo You have to be able to equip a piece of glamour to wear it as glamour. Say, you can't wear disciple of land glamour on a caster, or SCH glamour as a bard.
So is anyone able to help? >w<
No
You need billing support, not player help
Yes, money stuff straight to support not us
i'm looking for oriental/arabic type glam but they're all limited to profession
Alright
@leaden ginkgo a job (combat, gatherer, crafter) can only glam what they can wear as the job
I recommend getting the level 70 and 80 AST job gear and dyeing it.
If you can wear a gear as Astrologian
Then you can glam that gear to any other Astrologian gear you can wear, (with some level limitations)
Anyone now how to start the free trial on Steam? I installed the demo on Steam and it prompts me to sign in with a Square account, no option to create one. So I go to the Square website and create one, then try to log in on the launcher, can't log in as the account doesn't have the trial, no option to sign up for it through Steam. Sign up for the trial on the Square website, then again try to log in through Steam, can't log in, this isn't a Steam trial account. Either I'm doing something wrong or they don't want you to play the trial on Steam.
@scenic orchid you would have had an option to say "I don't have a Square Enix account" on the steam launcher. I think you botched it. Since Steam and SE versions are separate you kinda have to use the launcher for making a character
The account needed to play XIV is all Mogstation account (yes, it is silly to say it is Square account)
Not the store account
Ya, I made a mogstation account. And no the Steam launcher has no option at all for I don't have an account. There is log in, and forgot id. No option to create.
And you're positive there was no menu beforehand?
You launch from Steam, it takes you to the launcher. No other prompt or option before you log in.
Hmm that shouldn't happen
I...think if you delete the FFXIV folder in "my documents" and relaunch the launcher it'll start over as if you opened it for the first time
...I think
I've uninstalled and reinstalled, used a brand new Steam account. I can already play the trial outside of Steam, but I really want to figure out the Steam problem on principle at this point.
I kinda did the same a while ago out if curiosity, I just downloaded the trial, said "nah don't have an account" on the launcher and it made me make one, verified and I could play
is it possible to make an account in korea?
Umm
Korea is a unique situation. I'm not sure how it works to be honest
But they have separate servers
im in south korea but there is no South Korea option

you'll most likely have to look in korean google or something, korean servers are fully separate from eu/na/jp, similarly to chinese
^
and they're a few patches behind due to localization i think
I'm hearing you could try a VPN and a few things to play on the normal servers if you want
i get error i2501 if i use a VPN
Generic connection error
They know!
i2501 is usually caused by using a vpn
so i tried using a hotspot with my dads phone but it still did the error i2501
Connecting to...?
hey guys how can you tell if a house is open for sale
Trying to play the launcher? Trying to go to the SE website? Etc etc
If you look at the wards pages when you go to teleport to a ward any empty plots wouldn't have a name. Just a price
And when you're in the zone an empty plot would have an auction hammer symbol
But as for when you know when you can buy the plot there is no way to tell. When a plot becomes empty there is an invisible timer as to when you can purchase it, you'd just need to try
so is there a way to subscribe to ffxiv without getting error 24202?
Try another browser?
is there an easier way? i need 10 mins to just check all the wards lol
Reading up on it that seems to work sometimes
@leaden ginkgo check and make sure your browser is allowing the cookies na.gcsip.com and gcsip.com
Yo new player here! I'm about 3 days in and I'm getting close to Ishgard, I've been wanting to main DRK since I started but will I have to start the job over from level 1?
No Vanas, just have to look at the wards pages from the city main aetheryte and read. That's the fastest way
30 Groovy
So you'd still to grind a bit
@obsidian patio Okay thanks!
Thanks, I'm honestly not even that worried about it with the Road to 70 buff
I've been constantly over leveled this entire time anyways
Why Viéra have to spam /dance emote when other can just dance without interuption
is there a video that explains the entire ff14 story well? i skipped through everything
@patent trellis the race-specific dances don't loop at all. you're probably looking at a difference dance that naturally loops
This is doing a dance that is not looping
oh
My friend who is a fresh player like me have a dance that loop
a dance that was recently added is the Bee's Knees, which can be bought from the gold saucer for 80k MGP
There's also a level 15 quest in each of the starting cities that give a looping dance.
You need better gear
you need to get 142 ilvl
Do your level 60 job quest
in the up right corner
when getting relic weapons (lets say HW) and i get all versions up to max, can i still use glam from the ones below? (havent gotten one yet)
like ilvl 275 one is max, can i still use ilvl 260 as glam on my weapons?
yes
you can start buying replicas for the lower versions once you complete the i230 step (Hyperconductive, IIRC)
what do i buy them with?
Whats a good class that can round up enemies and aoe them down?
couple hundred gil
so not expensive? cause i looked through a few and in HW most i275 are ugly af in comparrison to their 260 or other counterparts

can i theoretically farm all materials for all relic with 1 class or is there a lot of "need todo X with class X"?
I've been wanting to get into playing FXIV for a while, thinking that with the 1st expansion being added to the free trial... I might give it a shot.
But I have a few questions about the social aspect of the game and time commitments.
any class, though some parts of the relic will want you to do it as the class the relic is for and maybe also with the relic equipped.
