still iris
i bought the collectors upgrade and idk if i have to goto the delivery moogle and to see it there
wintry chasm
it could just be taking a bit
but yes it would be from the moogle
there would be a mail icon near the server info if you had mail
faint flare
Its the same mechanics as Shiva extremes, so you need to keep close to the boss so you're not hit by Whiteout or knocked back into wall ny avalanche while being stacked for Sword swaps. Only time you leave the boss is to spread out for the Hail storm patterns with icicle aoes
Old Shiva EX videos are still relevant
jovial sierra
i have a shit ton of crafting materials and low level materia taking up inventory space, should I just toss them all?
tidal yarrow
thanks. I have never done any extreme in my life tho lol
will keep in mind those things
wintry chasm
Might be worth watching a guide then
faint flare
Just watch a video for it
limber walrus
I suggest putting them in retainers, saddlebag, or fc chest
faint flare
Extremes are a step down from savage and is when you should start seeing guides
tidal yarrow
alright ill take a look
jovial sierra
is it worth keeping the low level materia that gives like +2 secondary stat too...?
green raft
most low level mats can be safely sold tbh there is no need to hoard every little thing that's an easy way to run straight out of storage space
agile laurel
unless it's for older expansions, in which case for god's sake still check a guide but
green raft
honestly any combat materia below grade 7 can also be sold, when synced down materia are ignored so they are rarely relevant while leveling anyway
craft/gather materia are worth keeping because the stats actually help while leveling
jovial sierra
when you say sold do you mean like on the market board to other players or just vendored/npc'd?
limber walrus
market board
green raft
just check market board, if it's barely worth a damn just vendorsell
limber walrus
easy way to check prices of everything is put it up for sale on retainer & click compare prices
green raft
materia are usually worth a penny, random mob drops probably not unless they are in a relevant recipe (ishgard comes to mind)
limber walrus
instead of looking it up individually on market board

I need help linking my accout to my ps4, when I open the game it ask me my Square Enix ID, password and 1time password. However my old account is in the Square Enix ID slot and I cant change it. Does anyone know how to fix this

you can get a decent set of gathering gear by doing Namazu beast tribe stuff

ok so i bought and redeemed the game around 30 minutes ago and it still hasnt gone thro yet im sitting infront of the delivery moogle and he still has nothing for me what do i do
crisp quartz
I already paid the monthy subscription for this accout buy I can log in because the ID slot has my old account and I cant change it
Again this for PS4
faint flare
Your psn is linked to another account so you need to contact support to unlink it
feral spire
I’m level 20 as a gladiator. Is there a recommendation for what guild I should work on next?

@feral spire it's generally recommended that you stick with one class at a time until you hit level cap

signal gull
what are the benefits of making a 2nd character for a dif job, instead of changing the main?
junior yacht
there really aren't any
the only reason i can think of is so that you can get around weekly raid gear drop lockouts
signal gull
only thing I can think of would be new character customization
oh there is a weekly limit?
junior yacht
for some endgame raids, yes
wintry chasm
For current stuff
junior yacht
but that's not really something you'd need to worry about for a while
granite swan
Watched a 30min video on Bahamut ... Can i do it solo at 80 or are you forced to synch?
junior yacht
you can attempt to solo it unsynced, yes
faint meadow
you can do some of the coils unsynced but...I think some of the deeper levels require people
granite swan
ah
faint meadow
I think you need more than just yourself after a certain point
I could be wrong tho
faint flare
You can solo pretty much all/majority of it but some need specific strats
granite swan
Guess ill just do it normally later on :p i wanna get on with the MSQ now that i watched a nice lore video on it lol
granite swan
ah
faint flare
Cause you have very limited time after adds before you just die so you need to basically lock her in mechanics and get her as low as possible before she jumps
granite swan
Sounds like something that might be fun to try as a challenge eventually lol

Can i farm something to get the Tank mounts? if so can it be Unsynched / solo and what? o:

mental garnet
whoa is this instance thing new?
static yacht
all the ARR extremes can easily be solod at level 80
mental garnet
walked into Lakeland and it gave me an option to pick from 3 instances
static yacht
@mental garnet typically they will add instances if there's a big patch and then remove it later down the line
mental garnet
ahh gotcha
static yacht
IE: start of 5.0 there were 3 instances of every ShB area
mental garnet
this is the first patch i've been playing for so makes sense why it's the first time i've encountered it

How do I get Ventures? Looking for an easy way to level my retainers.

Oh, good to know.
I wasn't remembering where I got so many. I thought it was with levequest and fates

iirc you can also get them from guildleves

I stopped doing. I guess I'll return to them.
I leveled too much... When I got to Heavensward I was 63 already.

is there a way to have specific ui for each job? theres only 4 layouts so i assume id have to use a shared ui :/
inland zenith
Idk how I got so much xp, I just played the MSQ and all the blue quests I could find. Besides that I did the zodiac weapon quest.
I guess it came all from daily roulettes.

They improved the Xp curve and the first time bonus xp you get from dungeons is aloooot
And roulettes do give alot

What level are you?
faint flare
@sour path whispering dawn is a aoe regen from the fairy, Fey illumination is magic mitigation + buffs your gcd heals, Fey union is a strong regen in the target and fey blessing is aoe heal from the fairy. You can see the tooltips at the bottom of action and traits
sour path
Thank you! When I use them, it doesn't seem like I'm using them right. It doesn't seem liek they do anything. I must be doing something wrong

They come from the fairy
So make sure she's actually close
Otherwise they wont hit people
You can watch peoples buffs to see if they're hit

Why do 3/4 of the names in FFXIV look like someone face rolled the keyboard and was like ... Great Job!

its so people who faceroll their char name can say, "look its lore friendly, this npc has a similair name!"

@prime flume no

no matter how dumb your name is, you can always find an npc with a crazier name

i heard some are

that sell equipment or gill for real money

and we need to play shadowbringers through to get the npc for augmenting neo ishgardian?

That's correct, Ace
Yes, that's where the NPC is
@leaden ginkgo fairly sure you can get em all

As long as you're not harassing someone with it or anything
leaden ginkgo
So, as long as it is not snfw or harassing someone, u should be okay, right?

yeah if you say shit like "yo [name] why is your dps so low" that's reportable

at 6-7pm-ish someone sent me a link of ff14 complete edition discount
and it was for 30 usd
now when i refresh it at 1 am
it shows that it's for 20 euro
what the hell?
forest laurel
like if someone said to me "yo rima do some actual dmg you trash idiot" I could report them
winged solar
20 euro = way less than 30 usd
deft quiver
how many mt gulg runs does it take to go from lvl 79 0xp to 80?

So, mentioning someone's real name is reportable (sharing somebody else's information) or is trashing talk someone reportable?

twilit arch
while in your apartment, open the housing menu with /housing and select remodel interior @upper mortar
upper mortar
Ty. I think i have to do this glitch thing i just found to get the look i want, with the partitions
winged solar
also, when I buy this I get the code and my game remains trial?
wintry chasm
It'll stop being trial when you put that code into Mogstation
But you can hold on to that code no issue till then
winged solar
yeah i'm 28lvl-ish with lancer so I want to get 60 with few classes
then apply the code
wish I could do that
wintry chasm
You...can?
Just do the trial up to when you don't and put the code in when you're ready
winged solar
btw it's kinda weird that someone linked me the exact same link few hours ago
and the price changed from
30$
to €20
which is way cheaper
why is that?
simple pine
then you are good, it was always 20 euro for eu
simple pine
yes
simple pine
the story is long and can feel like a grind
but leveling characters, getting gear and such is not a grind at all
faint flare
Only real grind is the story cause there's alot of it
simple pine
unless you want the very max ilvl gear, which needs the hardest raids
as it should be
wintry chasm
@winged solar buy the game from the region your mogstation account is
Codes are region locked
wintry chasm
Mogstation -> account details or whatever
It'll say what region your account is
And then just go to the appropriate store
I assume euro is what you want since you are on Chaos
leaden ginkgo
Hey there. Could anyone give me some info about starting up the game?
wintry chasm
Platform?
leaden ginkgo
well that's thing. I was going to get it for PS4 cause it's on sale. But then I read that the controller isn't the greatest for combat and stuff
twilit arch
dunno where you read that
simple pine
controller is fine
wintry chasm
Who....where did you read that??
twilit arch
but its not true at all
wintry chasm
Controller is great
leaden ginkgo
Sheesh
twilit arch
the game is design to be use with controller
leaden ginkgo

wintry chasm
I prefer it over keyboard
The only thing I suggest is plugging a keyboard into your PS4 for easier typing
leaden ginkgo

Or a wireless one or something
simple pine
both is fine :p
winged solar
@wintry chasm went into mogstation -> your account and it doesn't say anywhere what my region is
it only says

Another question I had was how grindy is the game?
wintry chasm
Well for PS4 just go to PSN and download the free trial
faint flare
And prefer it over kbm
karmic niche
This game isn't cross platform right?
faint flare
It is

so i'm good to buy the complete version for 20 euro?

Because you never notice ot

Because its basically impossible to tell
leaden ginkgo
@wintry chasm So I won't have to spend like 6-12 hours just to progress?

Nope alice

latent prism
oh ok i was about to trash them lol
leaden ginkgo
Another question I had was what are the more beginner friendly classes to play? More specifically ranged
wintry chasm
Doesn't matter really
faint flare
Archer/bard
wintry chasm
Game eases you in enough no matter what you pick
faint flare
But all start out pretty simple and easy
karmic niche
All class are beginner friendly
granite swan
Lancer is too beginner firendly, you get like 4 buttons to push for 50 levels >.<
wintry chasm
If you like ranged and movement I'd start as archer, if you like more raw damage but you kinda stand still go thaumaturge, if you like an in-between with movement and pet go arcanist
That's a bit hyperbole Maethil but yeah DRG probably has the least for a while
karmic niche
Drg use 7 button ok
leaden ginkgo
So even something like a Monk is easy to pick up for a beginner?
faint flare
Yes
wintry chasm
Also Neet there is a video in pins that show how jobs play at a higher level
faint flare
It does get its rotation pretty early
leaden ginkgo
Oh, ok
winged solar
so the code of the ff14 is permanent unless i redeem the code?
there is no time it expires by any means
faint flare
Yes
karmic niche
Well... you just need to know positions
winged solar
gonna save it and enjoy my trial then
faint flare
Codes dont expire
leaden ginkgo
One last question. Is there like a gun using sort of job in the game?
faint flare
Yes

Does the One Hero Journey boost include MSQ + lvl 70?

faint flare
Story skip is a different thing
wintry chasm
Gunbreaker has a gunblade but it's more slashing
leaden ginkgo
Gotcha thans
wintry chasm
You need to reach the first expansion to get machinest though so you'll need to start as something else first Neet
deft quiver
AST seems the most fun imo

As a support how often should I prioritize dpsing? And I’m only lvl 50 but should I stop using cure 1 and just spam cure 2 instead. I feel that I’m running out of mp and not healing fast enough during these lvl40 dungeon and assume it be worse at higher lvl dungeons.

@primal relic you should use cure 2, cure 1 is only used on clutch situations when you're really out of mana and the tank is absolutely dying or sth
and use lucid on cooldown

@twilit arch yes, trying to get it to zenith
zinc orbitBOT

it gets better on level 50+ since you get more and more free oGCD heals

@leaden ginkgo Not sure, they abridged a lot of the content last update, so shorter than it used to take.
Would still like to know if you get a choice between abridged and unabridged tho.
faint flare
Also make use of regen
primal relic
Okay, I ask cuz I tend to use lucid when I’m at 1k mp and that I feel the game wants me to use cure 1 cuz of the free cure passive skill.

Why do party members in dungeons have blue name’s but i don’t?

Healers in pvp in general are good, very strong
brave mountain
great thanks, that's what i enjoy playing
primal relic
And should I really be prioritizing dpsing over most of the time? Since most of my skill share CD, wouldn’t it be bad when I do needa heal but skills on CD?
faint flare
Damage is very predictable and scripted
And you heal for a fair amount with cure 2 and off globals
Regen basically covers boss autos
Plus people dont need to be at max unless a mechanic says so
Just enough to survive
You can like let 2 room wides go off before healing
More if mitigation is used

If you know how to level it up it goes by somewhat fast

I just started, but I can figure it out if it's not too hard. didn't really want to join some random one

@high sapphire turn off your VPN if you have one active. Pop up blockers and some script filters can trip it too

A friend who never played before wants to buy the complete edition of FFXIV but he also wants the collector's edition bonuses. On the lodestone, it appears to be sold in a package deal but that's not the case in the MogStation. How can he get the collector's edition bonuses for only $10 extra?

Digitally upgrade to collector’s edition with the mogstation

not sure about other region
you can see the collector complete edition is listed there

Is it $10 for each expansion or just $10 for all of them including ARR
Weird, it doesn't show up in NA store like that.
patent citrus
in my currency i had to pay extra AUD$24 🤔

Can retainers reassign their classes?
granite swan
You can re-class them, but i think they reset back to lv 1, not sure if they keep the old class though, didnt read the popup
twilit arch
you'll have to reset them if you want to reassign them
zenith karma
So they don't keep progress in their classes?
twilit arch
the only time they don't require a reset is if you're changing them from a class to a job
they're not like player characters, in that they can be multiple classes/jobs

They can only be one class at a time, and the levels do not save
so if you reset, they'll go back to lv1

I know you can switch between worlds in your dc, but what are things that you can only do in your home server?

hihi! brand new, just started up the free trial on my pc, and realized that my computer even with all of the graphics from every reddit suggestion lowered I’m really only getting 11-15 fps which is pretty awful, I have a PS4, but now my free trial is locked to my laptop, does anyone like how the PS4 plays more? Does it kick up to 30 fps or higher? Is it worth it to buy the base game on PS4, or should I trudge through playing the free trial on PC until lv 60?

PS4 gets a stable 30 for pretty much everywhere unless a place is extremely crowded with players

curios, is there a benefit to playing off steam? ive notice they always have expansion access problems and it makes me wonder why not just go with the og client and just add it too your steam library
frozen zodiac
Has Yoshi-P ever commented on why they won't enhance the functionality of apartments?
obsidian patio
@outer plank not sure if people can do that anymore, in terms of playing non-steam through steam
@frozen zodiac they don’t want apartments to directly compete with housing on things like gardens and private rooms
outer plank
@obsidian patio you can cause i launch it through steam so i could get pro controller support
frozen zodiac
@outer plank You get to use your steam wallet as a payment method, if you buy it on steam you're locked into buying expansions through the steam store instead of square-enix, amazon, or other vendors
So what people ran into is they bought it off amazon or walmart and couldn't use the key
outer plank
@magic helm if you're pc can't handle it, you'll get consistent frames on ps4 and i haven't any problem playing on for the past 2 years.
i only recently switched to pc because the ps4 lacks any 3rd party support like parsing
frozen zodiac
Speaking personally, I had my key months in advance purchasing through steam, with the minor drawback of being locked into the steam store its an alright experience
leaden ginkgo
Can confirm PS4 handles the game pretty well.
viscid wraith
At lv 68 what are some fun dungeons to do and I mean bosses that have so mechanic to them instead of wack to death
warped nest
The unique issues with PS4 would be A no plug in, B typing is a slog with the PS4 software keyboard, and C no copy paste macros
leaden ginkgo
Question: I know some fancy and cool mounts are bought in the store, but are/were ALL of them (past and present)? Or does the game have events or quests that unlock some?
warped nest
There are way more mounts unlockable in game
viscid wraith
^
warped nest
Over the mounts you can pay real money for
outer plank
@warped nest tbf, you can just plug in a wireless logtech keyboard like i did and it only cost me like 15ish dollars
leaden ginkgo
For ps4, you can always use a real keyboard for typing
warped nest
@outer plank yup
leaden ginkgo
Oh, really? Good stuff. Thanks!
obsidian patio
warped nest
So it practically comes down to no plug in, and no copy paste on Ps4
signal rover
Where do I upgrade my 120 ironworks to 130 now???
viscid wraith
U can get mounts easiest with achievements and do palace of deaf
warped nest
@signal rover sorry...
leaden ginkgo
Oh dang, that's awesome. Thanks for the link
warped nest
Unfortunately there aren't any
outer plank
yes, well if you dont have a keyboard typing is sort of a damn nightmare @warped nest
signal rover
that i cant upgrade into 130 now?
frozen zodiac
@signal rover You should still be able to upgrade it using the same method
signal rover
The lady that sold carbontwine isn't selling it anymore
warped nest
They have been talking about giving augmented away directly for weeks leading to 5.3
magic helm
Sweet sweet, I wasn’t intending to buy the game until I actually felt how the fighting worked but after watching so many tutorials I’m sure I’ll love it, and if not, it’s 30 bucks for a month of free sub and tons of content, I have a wireless keyboard so I think I’ll be okay 👌🏻
signal rover
That's a really poor design decision, imo...
twilit arch
you don't need 130
signal rover
Guess I wasted thousands of poetics, cool..
twilit arch
120 is perfectly fine, so its not like you wasted your poetics
warped nest
130 is nice to have
frozen zodiac
Makes it dyeable
warped nest
If you have 120, you just need to start swapping at lvl 53 msq
outer plank
@magic helm its 30 dollars for a month, then 12 dollars after. though i thought content was now free from arr through heavensward?
twilit arch
and it easy enough to get poetics to buy the augmented version if you really want the dyeable version
outer plank
am i wrong or was that not implemented
warped nest
130 should be swap out for better pieces at lvl 55-ish msq
frozen zodiac
I can run you through t12-t13 for carbontwine?
twilit arch
no
warped nest
@outer plank it is free if you haven't buy stuff
twilit arch
they removed augment items from the instances as well
warped nest
If you paid for anything, you cannot go back to free
leaden ginkgo
Another question:
I've heard the game works well with PS4 controller, and for now it does, but what about later when you have a jillion skills? How do you optimize hotbars? I can't see myself holding switching hotbars willy nilly with R1
warped nest
There are WXHB and Expanded Hold Control
outer plank
@leaden ginkgo you got something called wxhb hotbars
wise dock
I kind of feel like an idiot now. I should have just continued with my lalafell in aether instead of making a new character on crystal. No one raids here. I am sure that the 10+ minute dungeon wait times are not a normal thing.
warped nest
Expanded hold control is Hold L2 press R2 or Hold R2 press L2
twilit arch
Are you dps?
leaden ginkgo
warped nest
This two combined give you instant access to 2 other crosshotbar
leaden ginkgo
Hmm, ok, I'll look into that
outer plank
so you hold down r2, you got 8 skills (4 on your buttons, 4 on you directional), hold down l2 and its the same. thats 16 slots
if you have enabled the wxhb
warped nest
Both control scheme can be enabled
outer plank
you can double tab and hold r2 and l2 for another 32 slots combined
warped nest
So in practice
outer plank
and if you want even more
warped nest
Yup 32 additional slots
frozen zodiac
@signal rover What datacenter are you on?
signal rover
@frozen zodiac Primal / Lamia
outer plank
theres another option where you can hold them both down together for anoter 8 slots
leaden ginkgo
Dang, that's cool. I'm gonna try to set that up right now before I forget
signal rover
I need a lot of twine / coat though..
warped nest
That's Expanded Hold control
outer plank
or 16 if you go l2+r2 or r2+l2
warped nest
WXHB is double tap
outer plank
so essentially
warped nest
Expanded hold is Hold one press another
warped nest
Additional tips, stuff like your teleport, Limit Break, mount, just tuck them away and use R1 to get to them
outer plank

sinful crypt
Hello was wondering if anyone can answer a question for me im trying to transfer worlds from Excalibur to Hyperion to play with some friends the account is 4 days old its still on the 30 day free trial but i have already purchased additional game time via cards. It is still saying no eligible characters to tranfer. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong. Most of the ineligibility stuff doesn't pertain to me as im still a new character. I know I could just make a new one on that world but I dont have as much time to play as I would like and so its hard for me to make up the hours ive already invested.
outer plank
that running on a ps4 btw @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
Y'all are awesome. Thanks for giving such detailed answers! 
outer plank
so that how it should run on yours
warped nest
Don't be afraid to fiddle with your hotbar settings to find what works for you
There is no way to make irreversible changes to your hotbar
outer plank
@sinful crypt you dont have to server transfer unless you're adamant about being in a f/c
thats because excalibur is in the same data center as hyperion
so you can just world transfer over and play with him
sinful crypt
thats what im trying to do just not sure how
outer plank
Arr hub towns
have a large aytherite crystal
you should have the option to world transfer
to one of the worlds in your data center

Hey I was wondering in the opening when you open the game the samurai fighting ||zenos|| is that your character, ||warrior of dark|| or some other character spoilers
faint flare
Its us
leaden ginkgo
Ff14 does not has Spanish language/translation, right?
grizzled mural
That’s the player character?
sinful crypt
no its not @outer plank
grizzled mural
Wow what a spoiler lol
sinful crypt
is excalibur considered a new or preferred world
grizzled mural
I’m only 3/4th through stormblood
faint flare
Most stuff in the opening movies are dramatisations
old crypt
Is it possible to solo potd till lvl 50 with aetherpool stats at +5?
grizzled mural
I’m pretty sure primal is
outer plank
in that case, i'd just make the new character unless you're ok with shelling out some extra money to bring over your progress
on ths character
obsidian patio
@old crypt probably not, unless you get very lucky on silver chests
sinful crypt
thats what i would like to do @outer plank but it wont let me
obsidian patio
I also suggest being a healer for self-sustain
strange coral
None of the servers on Primal are preferred currently
sinful crypt
When i try the transfer service it just says no eligible characters
obsidian patio
You need to first select the world with your character on it
For where you’re transferring from
sinful crypt
It just gives me ------ with no choice
plush hound
@sinful crypt How long have you been playing that character
sinful crypt
4 days
plain python
does challenge log reset daily? Or it is like "goal of a week"?
plush hound
@sinful crypt It won't be eligible until you've been playing for 90 days.
@plain python challenge is weekly
outer plank
@plain python weekly, resets tomorrow
still iris
hey chat i have four options of coffer
im a summoner so here are my options
hellfire armor, slipstream armor, hellfire striking, torment scouting
sinful crypt
I thought that it only pertained to new worlds @plush hound
plain python
lol no wonder some looks tedious to do in a single day. Turn out its weekly reset comes soon.
outer plank
hyperion is a legacy server @sinful crypt
its been around since the start
and because they're popular
they usually dont allow server transfers if to congested
raw solstice
@white sinew shuffles all seals, you can lose the line
outer plank
you might not be able to server transfer into hyperion but you can probably make a new character
raw solstice
@still iris you don't have all those options for summoner, none of those are for casters
still iris
which one should i go with next time
outer plank
i dont know about the state of server transfers rn, just going off memory
plush hound
@still iris just pick one. A following querst will probably have a coffer for your job
still iris
but they have weird names so idk which one
obsidian patio
Summoner would want hailstorm of casting
still iris
thanks chat
sinful crypt
4 days @static yacht
sinful crypt
I mean the drop down wont let me transfer anywhere not just hyperion which makes me think something else is making it ineligible
outer plank
@sinful crypt as mentioned before you wont be able to transfer/make characters to any congested world indicated by the red mark
twilit arch
none of those worlds are congested
outer plank
no? hovering over the red marker says character creation and world transfers arent allowed?
twilit arch
if you look at the column where it says "standard"
none of them say "congested"
therefore, none of them are classified as congested and the red marked ones are simply temporarily locked to new character creation
outer plank
ah
sinful crypt
just says creation of new characters not allowed
plush hound
From the FAQ:
A character’s Home World cannot be changed to a World with restrictions on character creation
outer plank
@sinful crypt did your friend just start as well?
sinful crypt
One did like a week ago about 3 days before me
plush hound
Excalibur at current prohibits character creation.
sinful crypt
must have still been open i guess
outer plank
you might wanna just look to start on one of the worlds where creation is allowed or wait till they open transfers
oak jolt
Oh my. Where is my list of emotes under? I keep having to type beckon.

@oak jolt Under the Social Button.

ya the funny thing is i cant even transfer to worlds receiving new players but i must be missing something thanks for all the help guys.
twilit arch
That's not actually the case, seeing as I can select excalibur when i try applying for a server transfer
oak jolt
Ha. Thank you. I swear I went through all options twice. Much appreciated.
outer plank
anything in the faq about account age? im going try from my end.
twilit arch
account age is irrelevant, all that matters is how old the character is/if they were created on a preferred world
sinful crypt
@outer plank all i see is must be older then 3 days
which it is also must have paid into the game not on the free trial of 30 days. I am still on that trial but i paid into it for a 60 day time card
frozen zodiac
we can see your username in that pic, use winkey+shift+S to generate a cropped screenshot
plush hound
@sinful crypt It could be because your still on the trial. Paid time isn't actually counted until the free time is up.
sinful crypt
I though that may be it but i read someone had this problem and they contacted square enix they told them to buy a game time card and it work for them may
but i could have read that wrong
sinful crypt
just ----
outer plank
it could b what lundar said, i can't really think of anything else
sinful crypt
guess ill wait the remainder of the days for the trial period to officially close and see if it changes anything.
thanks for being so helpfull everyone
twilit arch
just going to say that the 30 days free don't consider you a "trial"
you're officially full game the moment you buy and apply the game to your account
sinful crypt
well shit then
zinc orbitBOT

Well, the only thing I can further suggest is to open a support ticket.

Yo, what is a 'static'? Or um, what does it mean when someone is seeking a 'static'?
twilit arch
static is just a premade group that gets together regularly to do content
faint flare
A static is a group of people who get together at times to do content
twilit arch
usually used in regards to savage raiding
sullen pulsar
do more crafting guild quest opens up in Shadowbringer or are you basically done at 70?

static is an odd word for a friend XD. ty!

ok just beginning shadowbringer so I'll look for them

On magical tank busters
If it LOOKS magic then it probably is
And if it LOOKS physical, probably is
Or just use ACT to tell you

Like things that say slash bash ruin or some shit it slash stuff that says quelog(idk) is prob magic
faint flare
In the battle log physical stuff thats casted has "X Readies Skill"
Magical reads "X Casts Skill"

Ah ok

What is ACT? Don't mean to disrupt the current question but it sounds like some sort of health-and-safety acronym.
hearty basin
Good evening, as a tank/marauder should I use my enmity skill again every time me and other players fight a new batch of enemies?
Or do I only need to use it once I initiate a fight (so enemies can focus only me from the start)?
warped nest
Turn it on
warped nest
And leave it
faint flare
With defiance on you'll have aggro on anything you hit with things cause the aggro multiplier is stupif
hearty basin
Yes, so only use it once?
Keep my bar red at all times?
warped nest
Defiance doesn't do crap on its own
faint flare
You dont need provoke in 4man dungeons
warped nest
What it does is
It make all your attacks gain more enmity
Walking up to your enemies and turn on defiance don't add enmity
plush hound
Umm some clarity is in order: Each Tank has an ability referred to as a "Tank Stance" Which allows all attacks to gain emnity or "threat", usually well beyond what anyone else can generate.
hearty basin
So I’ll get more aggro right, when I hit them when the bars red, right?
warped nest
You gain more aggro
faint flare
Yes you'll constantly generate aggro
warped nest
The bar becomes red because you have their full attention
hearty basin
And I need to keep it red, right?
warped nest
Very easy to do

Hey guys. New player coming from classic wow. Is there a "best server" or is it all pretty equal?

oh sweet, thanks

free company has storage, buffs, some has housing you can use including chocobo stables and your own room, and the social aspect i suppose

you are usually expected to figure most of it out yourself if you are doing lvl 80 doh/l stuff, and any new things they added in 5.3 are just extension of those knowledge at lvl 80, but whatev

I know server matter doesn't matter that much except guild and AH. What would be a good choice of server for 2 new players coming to the game?
warped nest
We recommend picking Preferred World
Preferred World offer a Road to 70 buff for all new characters made in them
Preferred world can be identified by their star icon, you will see them after you made your character and need to pick a world to play in

Is that the only reason to join those servers? Getting to max level quickly isn't that important to me

It helps levelling alt jobs

Plus there's some other bonuses
warped nest
Not "you gotta"
faint flare
Usually raids, extremes and up
crimson wind
huh
warped nest
It is confusing, because there are two mounts per tank
faint flare
People usually farm Gaurda extreme for the lower tank mount
Then you can do like Omega fights for the 61+ mount

I hate the armored tank mounts
