!faq freetrial
have her use the download this link ^
cos its seems like she downloaded the full game, not trial
@leaden ginkgo apparently i heard its from submarines, not sure the sector
@twilit arch can i pm you for a second if thats ok?
how do you unlock flying in arr?
Complete ultimate weapon
i c, ty for the answer!
ty
free trials use a different client so follows the guide above 😄
Nope, psn automatically applies the code unlike pc
Is it possible to by The Game and not register it and just keep playing the free trial until you want to register the code for the game
Bummer
If you buy on PC you get a code
glamour related question. Are there any pair of slacks type pants with a belt on them for female characters?
Which you can hold off on inputting
@twilit arch is it possible to get a webpage link to that? Im on mobile and ir downloaded the exe. We're on Facebook also so i dont think i can send her that
when and how do I get an ability to mount anything?
Lv20 story after you join a grand company, you'll see a blue quest called My little chocobo
!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.
Keep doing story
Yes
@elfin grove cropped summer indigo?
Your tracker should also show it
I think they also made it mandatory to get them out now so you can't accidentally miss it
@scarlet sandal nothing with a smooth texture all the way through? Trying to combine it with my Southern Seas shirt and look like a specific character
There's a pair of pants I'm thinking of kind of but I can't remember the name
best man's slacks?
Squalls pants
also, do i need to have any bought version of the game to get the one-time password so i can get the teleport spell?
You get the teleport spell when you attine to another aetheryte
^
oh
Which you should really be doing the first thing when you get to a new zone
As for getting the OTP anyway I'm not actually sure but I would assume it doesn't matter if you own the game
The Otp just gives you a free teleport location
@scarlet sandal ah. Unfortunately, I'm looking for super plain slacks. Squall's got extra belts on his thigh
Okay this is a odd question. But. My friend is angry because he doesn't get comms? And he thinks that only female characters and healers only get comms
And I'm like? No? Its not?
Healers and tanks typically get them
Healers do get more comms but there are other ways if very comms
I'm a mentor on primal and he thinks my comms are illegitimate because I play healer and female
I was gonna say, I usually get comms and the female characters don't
Just cause I play healer
i tend to give it to healer unless they suck, then i give to tank :p
Sometimes the lil sprout does get you comms though when you run with non sprouts
Be a ranged or magic DPS who actually LBs a big mob and you'll get a com
Everytime ive LB i get a lecture so i never use it lol
That depends how are you using it
He just thinks he should fantasia to female to get comms
interesting
And I'm like? That's not the case ir solution
tell him to play a healer
^
Why does he care about commendations anyway
And now he's angry at me
And to calm the ego
Because he thinks my mentor status is illegitimate
Why does he want comms so bad?
I mean, in fairness, mentor status is irrelevant
I consistently try to help people that's why I aimed for mentor
There's a reason why mentor's are meme'd on
No you're right
@scarlet sandal ive used it 3 times on final boss dungeon since no one else was and ppl always complained ...
Can you get access to Coerthas Western Highlands in ARR?
No

what's a fabled relic weapon?
But I need some mythrite sand
it's glowing
Can only get there via ishgard
I'm sad now
I just td him to calm down and come back when he's not angry
That means it’s part of the zodiac relic chain
Getting that angry over a video game
Which are long grindy ass quest chains
idk, if someone actually got mad over comms and mentor status
it looks pretty
i'd blacklist them and move on
Relics tend to be
can you put them as glamour items?
how long is long
Depending how you're prepared, over a week
yikes
why does the hotbar not remember my job setup when i go back to it, is it optional?
nvm
it does
xD
Hello! for those who already did the yokai event, how does that work? from my understanding is this, please let me know if im right or wrong, english is not my first language.
-
You grind random fates (except mhordona, coerthas and shadowbringer maps) with your watch equip to earn medals, then use these medals to buy yokai from gold saucer right?
-
to get the weapon, you can only get the legendary medal by summoning the minion associated with it and grinding specific fates (one which can be found on yokai compedium?)
-
so that means, for the medals used to buy the minions, you can grind any fates, but the legendary medals to buy the weapon, you can only grind specific fates?

so we got a free mount from our Grand Company at lv20, does FFXIV has a concept of epic mount like WoW? where regular mount speed is 40% increase and Epic mount speed is 60% increase?
No
All mounts are the same speed
Mount speed is determined by zone
Your speed increases in a zone as you do story
thanks
If I buy this edition do I get all the rewards from all the previous collectors edition?
If it does it’s only be ShB collectors
if you buy that you can digitally upgrade to the collector's version on mogstation
You can pay for a Collecter edition upgrade for each thing though
kinda pricy at this point though I think?
That links is the collector's complete edition though
Even says it has everything in the features section
I just read "complete edition" and assumed
orz
That is indeed the entire game + all the collector items
(not bad for 35)
So while I was reading on changes from the time I was away, I see they added flight to the ARR zones? Did they make the zones bigger?
Okay that's what I thought
No Castor
People just complain ARR is slow so they made flying there to make it quicker + people kinda wanted it anyway?
Same size but you can get to more areaa
They made tweaks to the ARR zones to accommodate flying, but no major changes
a lot of people told me it didn't come with all the collectors edition but that's what it says, hope i don't get jebaited
Ah small shame. I always hoped they would sorta stitch the tinier zones together. No bigge though
a lot of people told me it didn't come with all the collectors edition but that's what it says, hope i don't get jebaited
They probably did the same as I did and just read as far as "complete edition"
wait, you will get all the collector edition from previous expansions as well 🤔
SE support is awful
which is a crazy good deal for me
tbh I didn't even know that the Complete Edition even had a collector's edition
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I feel so lucky
You are lucky
yeah in AU that also available, one person mentioned that it's not available for US area
SE support seem to be fairly nice, just doing their best on limited staffing im sure
sorry for making people misunderstood T_T
Yea I could never find the NA version of collector's complete for some reason.
but NA got all the merchandise 🤦♂️
I don't think EU store has merchandises at all
Oh cool they finally added a shopping cart into the mog station
As if I needed more temptation to spend money tho...
The new shop is alot cleaner
You're not kidding
does the shb inn room change or something?

Watching
can i keep leaving and reentering to get them to spawn
Believe so
Oh no..I forgot I actually did buy gold wallpaper for my house back then. Returning after so long is bittersweet.
So is there ever a time we get something we can customize? The Inn room is kinda boring and housing seems anti newbie
Does Hide ever get faster? Some class upgrade later in levels? Only level 15 currently.
apartments are cheap
@remote lintel Where are apartments? later in MSQ or something?
huh, i only saw houses
There's a building in there that has apartments
granted i didnt explore much cause i didnt know about apartments lol
In each housing district there should be a sort of "Communal housing" type thing
ooh ill give it a check
you basically just go there and buy a small room
Is the shb allied beast tribe quest unlocked after the current 3 beast tribes?
Yes, and in a later patch
I've emailed SE detailing how i've done everything said in the FAQ for multiple days to get rid of error i2501 and they just forwarded me to the FAQ again, how bad can your customer service be
I think they hardlock old accounts to force you to buy the game again
Generally in service desk scenarios like that Tier 1 support will pretty much be stuck following a script. Knowledge article says send a FAQ thats really all they do
I've waited 25 hours as I was told and still got the same fucking error reeee
I fully agree on the quality of SE's customer service, but I don't think this channel is the place to vent
It's not Ideal though since with covid you cant get direct support.
I fully agree on the quality of SE's customer service, but I don't think this channel is the place to vent
@jolly sorrel
Is there anywhere else where someone can tell me what to do?
seems there's no answer to this tbh
I agree, we can totally try to help here though I'm not sure what to do either. It really does suck, best we can do is google a crapton. I just meant that the ranting part should go in #rants so this place stays for help
Wouldnt i2501 be more a tech channel thing anyway?
The issue seems to be related to payment processing and a mog station issue
So not sure that a tech channel could help much. Seems like a back end problem
oh i thought i2501 was the connection one
it's a hardlock they use to prevent you from purchasing anything
antifraud system just targeting everyone
ah
what's this symbol
Those kinds of things are usually harder to fix on the T1 side of things. most likely with their limited support they dont have anyone to get on a bridge with the processor. If its a true multi user issue you may just have to sit tight.
do i need to keep it for something? or just sell for gil https://i.imgur.com/ABkkwWE.png
sell those
Unless your on free trial :p dont wanna gilcap and gain nothin heh
There are a lot of people https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/search?q=I2501&sort=new&restrict_sr=on who also have i2501 errors. Some found ways to solve it, some had to call SE Support directly through phone.
'i2501' is a generic error that just flags 'strange' stuff.
which phone support is closed for the foreseeable future.
my account is from 2017 and I never used it since them, that's enough to hardolck it, I think i'll have to buy it again
Chat still works though
chat is down too
what
So I started playing the trial about 2-3 weeks ago and have a summoner up to level 42. It wasn't until I was like level 35 that I realized I had -just- missed the cut for creating a preferred character with the Road to 70 buff. At this point, I'm wondering if I should ahead and start a new character to get the 100% exp buff, but I'm reluctant to have to go through all the MSQ, Duty unlocks, etc. I've already done with my summoner. Anyone know how long the preferred servers usually sick around? Am I going to be missing out on 100% for like months if I don't restart on a new char?
send me now @surreal geyser pls
yea, had my token removed from my old account and had to go back cause I needed my password reset
new player here, My armory chest is now full, what are my options? Is sell the old pieces okay?
@forest crown if youre already pretty far into the story and dont want to do it again then dont
the buff isnt earth shattering
The 100% bonus seems like it is a lot, but in the long run it doesn't really save you a lot of exp. At level 70 with the buff you'd be level 65 otherwise. At level 80 with the buff you'd be level 79 if you never had it.
@forest crown I think its bare minimum 90 days? and would only take 1-2 days to get back to 42

Sell em
on steam I cannot slow the dialogues with shift-tab how to I make them stop going so fast
Actually lemme send directly
just hit 52 with ast now its telling me i cant queue for the duty roulette
keeps telling me "Unable to register. Two or more duty requirements unmet."
If they are common quality just sell it to vendor
Which duty roulette
50/60/70 dungeons
That means you need to meet the requirements for at least 2 duties in the roulette
you dont have enough lvl 50 dungeons
Meaning your item level is too low if you have more than one
Someone just told me that at class quest 50, you get an armor set that is level 90 with lvl 50 equip requirement, is this true?
ah, figured lol
time to go buy gear
thanks (:
Revenents Toll will unlock 4-5 lv 50 dungeons if uve done the normal ones
@leaden ginkgo yes
Just note it's item level 90, item level and required level will now start to drift
I mean is easy to get 90
i now interested also
oh okay so they wont be the same anymore starting at level 50?
what is preffered character
how do i defeat the magitek vanguard in castrum centri
Yep Dawn, at high end item levels goes to 400-500ish
it's invulnerable to everything
If you create a new character on a world that is "preferred", you get a 90 days exp bonus
While the level cap is still 80 lol
@keen fable Pay attention to what the npcs are telling you.
And indeed, from level 50 onwards "item level" and "level" start to drift apart.
hmm ok
The exp bonus is 2xp until 70,pretty strong
This happened because level 50 was the cap, but new content was still being released. By the time we could get to level 51-60, the item level was already at i130
The 100% bonus seems like it is a lot, but in the long run it doesn't really save you a lot of exp. At level 70 with the buff you'd be level 65 otherwise. At level 80 with the buff you'd be level 79 if you never had it.
Oh okay, thanks for the explanation @jolly sorrel @remote lintel @fierce cobalt 🙂
which jobs uses which gear? in case of striking maiming slaying etc
All STR melee
slaying is accessories
so all except NIN
fending is tanks, casting is caster, healing is healers
Thanks for the advice on the exp buff, all
Using Fantasia potion for first time, does Au Ra have helmet issues like hrtothgar does?
ok nice! I really dig the look of hrothgar but the no helmet and hunchback really annoy me lol
Oh, they can't wear helmets? I haven't tried them yet
the 490 loot from puppets bunker is weekly right
Yes
or just the coin
I figured they'd just clip the ears through or something
The gear, coin and cluster is weekly locked
So I picked ramuh since its on the same data center as tonberry (friend there) but I wanted the pref world bonuses, am I kinda out of luck if I want to find more people to play with?
English speaking too haha
No, cause everything is cross server
And you can world visit tonberry as long as you're on its data centre
Yes you can skip credits
But then you'd miss my name in there D:
and mine D:
Is it all the ppl who played back in 1.0?

Yes
I can't remember, I think its only those who kept subscribing even after they announced they were going to scrap the game?
Huh, cool nod I guess
I almost wish I could have been back there for 1.0, it was a janky mess but it would have been fun to see
Well oof to anyone watching all of that thinking it would take 10 mins lol
I used to RP a lot back in 1.0. If anything it made for a great chatroom with nice visuals.
That's like, 10 years ago? Damn this game is starting to get old
I thought when City of heroes revived it would hold my attention kinda in the same way, but it did not unfortunately
I heard the credits were like a hour.
New refresh, Ff14, a realm reborn again, lol
1:38 hours.
Bahamut just comes every couple of years to wipe us
do gemstone traders have time-varying shop items?
Honestly with 10 years and a new set of consoles coming out I wouldnt be shocked if a new MMOFF was in the pipe
A Realm Revitalized :p
XIV being the cash cow it is? I would be shocked if they would create their own competitor
Well they did the same with 11 and 14
FF11 was long beyond its peak when they made 14 as its replacement, I do believe.
Of course when I say in the pipe I mean 5 years development at a minimum from now. Kinda like a destiny1-destiny2 situation
Hmn. Well, fair.
the restriction of the second shb raid tier hasn't been removed right? it's still 1 item per week?
They would probably try to do something more action oriented like blue protocol
@sly willow yes
with the exception of the weapon token
thats still 1 a week
but good news is that its now 4 tokens
instead of 7 now
hmm ok thanks :3
how do you make tradecraft levequest rotate, i keep getting the same one over and over

If you skip credits, do you miss scenes that come afterwards? Asking for a friend how#s reached the end of 3.0
no
is the shb msq wrapped up with 5.3 or will there be more?
guys, I need a bit of help in purchasing the game, allow me to shill my question from the sub
12 votes and 733 comments so far on Reddit
help would be appreciated
There will be more msq in 5.4 but it won't be the ShB story @raven burrow
so shb is done?
yes
sadface
Are there any outfits I can get ig like outfit sets? How does fashion work...im new >~<
'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.
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Thanks so much 👍
@leaden ginkgo anything you can wear can be a fashion item
@compact citrus lvl 50 quest "the naming of vath" for vath and and lvl 50 quest "three beaks to the wind" for vanu
The $40 FFXIV Shadow Bringers Standard Edition comes w/ the base game, all the DLC and a 30 day subscription, correct?
I’m spending majority of my online time making sure I finish daily and weekly things and as a result I barely have any time left to advance in MSQ at a proper pace. Someone tell me that what I’m doing is very wrong and I should focus on getting to 60 (free trial cap) first, rather than minmax GC dailies, Beast Tribe dailies, Gold Saucee challenges/weekly MGP income, etc?
Just looking at the MSQ amount of quests I’m still like 40-50 quests away from start of HW and my DRG is close to 57
Should generally focus MSQ first and most of the side stuff can be done once at max level and caught up
Because all lvl 50 content becomes “obsolete” when I’m as far as I can be in MSQ, right? What’s the point in making sure all my DOH/L’s are are caught up aswell with the use of GC dailies?
It's the way i intend to do it at least. With the roullettes flung in
beast tribes are mostly for mounts, minions, etc
Yet here I am spending hours on a daily basis gathering mats from all over to make sure I get all the GC hand ins done every day
GC turn ins are mostly for leveling crafters/gatherers
The old content is mostly for some of the rewards now. Or glamours.
If you're not enjoying it don't do it. It's not required for anything unless you want to level those classes
Yeah but those take such a long time I’m experiencing, at least 2-3 hours per day I spend on finishing those
then dont do them?
I feel like I’m missing out too much if I dont do them
Opportunities
daily quests and stuff arent really "opportunities"
since theyre repeatable every day
If you've done them a few times then you've done them infintely they don't particularly change
the
are way more important
Imagine farming a mount which is only possible on a weekly basis, and you miss out on 2 weeks in a row, wouldnt that feel like a missed opportunity?
If the mount had a really huge drop chance yes, if its got an absurdly small one, no
i mean your beast tribe progress is saved
If you're going for that sure. If you're just doing daily rubbish then that's different
Can you only do fishing in diadem after level 53?
It seems like the spots are cloudtops
and i cant cloudfish till 53
Yeah I dont know, I know I shouldnt be minmaxing in “temporary content” but for some reason I am
I seriously wish i had kept going with the story after finishing ARR ... so much garbage between ARR and HW that im regreting it lol
If you desperately want that mount. then something else is going to be sacrificed if you're doing it "because" then you should only do it if you enjoy it
it would just take you longer to get to
how do i get achievement certificates?
the only temporary content in this game are events
You get 1 certificate every 50 achievement points
@leaden ginkgo talk to the achievement guy in gridania
Hmm time for a change of mindset then starting tomorrow... full-on focus on MSQ
again the blue quests are way more important because they actually unlock things
such as raids
i did and i dont know how to exchange my points
Yeah I’m picking up all of those along the way
You automatically claim your certificates when you talk to him
Is there a way to get more vesper bay aetheryte tickets?
ooooh
It’s just the GC stuff that is distracting me too much
other than the 3 quests that give them
Again, 1 certificate per 50 points
GC stuff is just for exp
Those huge exp bonuses on the side are so tempting
thank you
when you get to post-HW theres an entire area dedicated to power leveling crafters
and gatherers
which makes the GC turn ins almost obsolete
you can go from 20-80 in a day
Really?
Well call me crazy but I plan on leeching of the free trial for a while longer
yes
Thats awesome
you can access it in the free trial
Doing crafting leves used to suck so much
So accessible at 60?
yes
Interesting
post-HW is part of HW
for GC captain, do you need to run 5 different dungeons in a command mission or you can run 5 times the same dungeon?
Wish I knew a week earlier before I wasted hours leveling all DOH’s and DOL’s simultaneously from 35 to 50
different @vivid thorn
Thanks @proper cipher and @remote lintel for helpful feedback and tips
Hey! I have a friend going to start the free trial. I’m working through HW’s MSQ. Is there a way I can help them through ARR’s MSQ?
just party with them?
You can party with them and do the dungeons
Are blue magic actions not accepted anymore in /micon ? The in-game "Text Commands" say it is. But whatever blue magic spell I use as in /micon "Loom" blueaction or similar, it won't show anythying? Was this removed recently?
If I started an alt could I do the MSQ’s with a friend? Or is that strictly solo only?
Or do I have to unblock BLU actually? (Now that I think about it)
Does anyone know which tab in the unending journey I can rewatch custom delivery cutscenes
You can do the overworld and dungeon stuff
Or can I not
But not solo instances
I can't find it at all
i wanted to upgrade to the collectors edition that was on sale, and it says to upgrade it through the mog station, but its listed as full price there
Huh, so the 24 man dungeons in SB, are they all neir themed?
Sweet. I loved Automata
what's the twinning?
lv 80 dungeon
Thanks everyone for the info!
are you certain you're looking at it thru the additional services section @fluid wren
because its still showing up as half off for me
i want to continue through MSQ, although the game doesn't let me, the "My Little Chocobo (Maelstrom)" quest is obtained under some circumstance i didn't really understand, how do I get that currency that will let me do that quest?
by doing the next msq
wdym 'next'
what's your current main scenario quest
sylph-management
then you should have 300 grand company seals
@twilit arch it says that i cant use additional services on a free trial account
yeah...you kind of need to own the game first before you can make use of the digital upgrade
you can't upgrade a collectors edition of something you dont have
oh i thought the collectors edition came with the base game too
only for Eu it seems
Doesnt EU have the Complete Collectors Edition for 38 whatever they use tho?
Is it possible to sell an Apartment for the money back?
nope
in TRI strat for CL, how the 2 dps of each triangle know if they're on the right side or left
and why tf ppl do tri?????
So, is this companion app worth bothering with? Seems neat but not sure if its useful enough for the price
hey guys, im considering moving my gaming to a different room in my house. Ill be going from wired 90gbs to wifi 30gbs. i know with shooters i cant deal with that speed. has anyone noticed having issues with this game at similar speeds?
@tidal yarrow by assigning specific locations for each person
and its 2 less people to coordinate since the tanks dont participate
Oh wait, just saw theres a free version. My bad
I heard New Adventurer status won’t last long, is that true?
it lasts for as long as you want it to
isnt that only to a certain level?
yeah but like.. how do the 2 dps deal damage while doing tri. i can't have the mechanic in my mind I don't get it
Sprout status lasts for 168hrs played and completion of the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes"
the melee are next to the boss and the ranged are farther away?
and this party just doesn't fill it's last spot so I can't try
I prefer to keep it unless I play the game about maybe 2 years or more.
they can still hit the boss
what if we have 3 melee
you shouldnt
Then someone cries
^
Or the healer moves
nice
2 melee 2 ranged is like the default comp
preferably 1 physical ranged and 1 caster
also, should we decide beforehand who the healer gives the lightning first (of the 2 dps)
the person in front of them
Oh Welp, I guess I have to deal with Online status
Veterans will mistakenly me that I have played all the contents before 
they shouldn't
so it's like a right triangle
yes
ohhhhh
And if its your first time in a given map, say so!
so i have a full hotbar at 48. how in the world am i going to fit everything on at 80? there's like 12 more skills i need to learn :v anyone have any advice? i'm currently on my scholar
now I get it
You can turn the sprout thing back on manually i believe,
yeah
no, once you lose sprout its gone
Or people should see the “first timers” as a bonus
dont actually go diagonally
R goes diagonally to H tho?
The screen will pop up the text
@halcyon glen The game clearly states someone hasnt done something if they are new though? O.o
Doesn't say who
so usually it's still a decent precaution to say "hey, new to this!"
now I can join both tri and circle parties atleast
Guess I can do that
you can use the lines on the boss arena to help you
you should all be standing in corners of a square
Or even if it's not your first time but first time on a given role, a quick "hey, first time healing this!"
any server reccomendation in Aether since Sargatanas is locked?
talking of lines. there is still one mechanic that for some reason scares me. it's the horses before the first f14 which mechanic happens only once and if it is buffed with fury's bolt it's normal line if it's not it's dotted
eww why is sarg locke... oh it's preferred
it is after first stormcloud
I've just noticed, but is it not possible to actually progress 2x in a particular custom delivery story in a week?
where is the exact spot to stand?
for big knockback just behind the solid line
for small knockback on the dotted line
the big knockback is pretty generous for where you stand
I swear one time every six I got knocked down by 2nd horses
Like I could've sworn I did 6 custom deliveries for ehll tou last week, which should mean the first 2 sets done, but I have to make her weaving supplies (the 2nd set) again this week
how much behind?
Last week you would've only gotten half way thru 2nd stage. thats why you have to make her the 2nd set again @half kraken
does it matter if im attacking
no
/auto attacking
Oh she needs 6 of each, not 3?
the first step is 3, every step after that is 6
Oh huh
@dusk mango Sarg is only temporary locked because there are a lot of people on the server right now. If you wait until the evening or earlier in the morning, you should be able to make a character.
If you don't mind not having the Road to 70 buff, all the Aether servers are pretty good!
Gilgamesh is the biggest raiding server in Aether and NA as a whole, but besides that most of the other Aether servers are pretty close in community as fas as I've seen @dusk mango
Is that only the case for ehll tou or everyone?
What's the written drop rate of the titania dragon?
its how it works with all custom deliveries
Good to know thanks
ok ty
how do I slow down automatic dialogues on steam? shift+tab opens the steam overlay
change overlay hotkeys?
I wish someone had warned me there were like 90834790 quests between ARR and HW ... lol
It's now like 75
i feel like ive done more then 100 ... i been at this all dang day
or less. I don't actually know exactly how many were removed
is it super hard to get sky scrips as low level?
there's 80 post ARR quests
you get like 8 scripts for an item
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/659523576642142218/742937886105534494/e53866a.jpg thank youuu cheat sheet
Wheres that from?
2.5 is pretty good
someone on reddit made it

Is there a list form of quests? Curious how many more i have to slog through heh
the number of removed quests also is almost directly proportional to how shitty the segment felt before!
SE removed most of irrelevant plot ARR MSQ
i dunno, most of what ive slogged through has seemed irellevent so far. i guess it could pop up sometime later but so far it makes 0 sense
What quest are ya on atm? the name will do
First Blood
how do I get the chat log to display what materia I've extracted?
Consolewiki has a list of quests per expansion
I know how to get to the log options, but don't know which one controls materia extraction
And basegame
It doesn't show up in normal chat
You have 35 quests to go! We tend to refer to quests by the patch they released in, and you're in 2.4 atm @granite swan
I don't think it's possible anymore, just checked by enabling every single log option and I still can't see what materia my spiritbond extraction gave me
@halcyon glen Ah thanks
what's control? I'm leatherworking and inner quiet apparently boosts that
2.4 is a lot of setup for HW, so you should pay attention to what's going on - the high houses of Ishgard, lady Iceheart, the heretics, etc.
Control affects how much quality your touches give
control increases how much quality your touch actions give
@halcyon glen ill stop skipping cutscenes then, i did that for some previous ones back in rev toll >.>
Craftsmanship is how much peogress your synthesis give
so the more quality I have the more it gives quality? it's like a snowballing effect
YEAH MAYBE THAT'S WHY THE STORY DIDN'T SEEM INTERESTING
man leatherworking is chill
@halcyon glen Well i slogged through quests up until that point and watched them, but it pretty much amounted to me standing around listening to other ppl do stuff that i wasnt really needed for lol
what benefits does player/guild housing provides? (besides a cool place to hangout)
Bragging rights
2.1-2.2 are especially bleh story-wise, that's why they got shortened last week
Gardening
gardening is the main draw for playing housing, workshop + gardening for fc housing
And the free company workshop for fcs
@winter canopy
Showed up for me
And i've never touched the chat log settings, Everythings still on
The filter for it should be “Own Synthesis Messages”
Where can i find places where people are selling levekits? can i just ask in here?
@proper cipher is that 13 phantasia
hows end game in ffxiv? are there a lot of things to do?
im curious, why did yoshi p remove tp in shadowbringers
Tp was annoying
Because Tp was redundant after all the changes they did in stormblood
It literally only mattered for melee AoE damage in stormblood
So all it did was nerf melee AoE
You basically never lost it unless you died or aoe
No that's Hi-elixirs @tight spoke
@tight spoke party finder
All weapons and tools do
No
oh really? well damn i didnt think of that. Thanks! @obsidian patio
You do barely anything and die in 2 hits
oh
You still only auto attack for like 50 damage at 80
:(
And dont get xp
@high sapphire endgame is whatever you want it to be
hows end game in ffxiv? are there a lot of things to do?
@high sapphire Quite a Bit yes, If you're hardcore you can do "savage" Raids, that's the top tier hardest content, if you're more casual you can run normal Raids and Trials
Is there any difference between MP and EP? What even is EP?
but there are lots of raids
Hi can someone tell me what are the best stats for a Samurai ?
In one of the role quests some of my skills had an ep cost some had an MP cost, and the character itself only had an MP bar
So it was confusing
So uh. Do some of the hunting log stuff (only difficulty 2, not high end) only spawn rarely?
Cause I'm looking around the area noted for them.
@patent trellis
thanks
Maybe in a cave or something then IDK.
now that im past the arr msq, i guess i shouldnt expect huge xp drops from the msq?
No, post quests dont have alot of xp on them
So you dont overlevel for the next part
they came out back when the level cap was 50
Where do i exchange silver chocobo feathers again?
post Xpac quests usually dont give xp
Calamity salvager
I know its in the upper part of limsa
near the aftcastle
Near the moogle mail
Oh
is there a limit on Edenchoir coffers?
say i roll highest on E5s, can i get everything?
On your weekly clear: no, you can loot as much as you want
alright
what about when i hit heavens ward? i guess ill have to look at duty roulettes to keep up?
not that ill get that lucky, but was curious
(ofc slightly dick move but its pugs)
nah
Your XP will return to normal in heavensward
you should be almost 70 by the time you are done with HW
no i was gonna roll need on whatver i need for BiS tbh, but didnt wanna get more than 1 thing tbh
Would you say the location shown in the hunting log is neccessarily the best place to look? I already know it's not the only.
K i found him he has a lot of options but none of them say anything about chocobo feathers
wait wut, almost 70? that gives me enough to msq chain all to way to shadow bringers then i guess
wouldve thought was 60
Depends on other stuff you do
@short sparrow sometimes the suggested area is a bit off, which mob are you having trouble finding?
yo uget a ton of EXP
I'm just after ||beating Thordan|| And with pretty much only doing roullettes and some other dungeons or job quests I'm level 76
Puk Hatchling in Western La Noscea: Skull Valley.
Had Aetheryte earring the whole way admittedly
saint, did u have road to 70?
@short sparrow directly north of Aleport’s east exit
Thank you.
Is that data on the wiki, cause if so I should look there next time?
"The wiki" ha. As if only one.
The most up to date one most people use is the Gamerescape one
Wait don't tell me there's no augmented Staff of however the WHM 2 hand weapon is called
Though consolegameswiki is decently accurate for the hunting log
Thank you.
@lone zephyr if you mean the level 80 one you get from Grenoldt, you can’t make that one dyeable
/\
Got a quick question if anyone knows. For PVP how do you get collars?
From participating in the feast seasons
At the silver chocobo feathers exchange thing there are Augmented Sire weapons and i can't seem to find the WHM staff
So its not the feast right now right?
hmm english or jp dub, I cant decide >.<
jp until hw, then english
English is pretty great
I'm honestly kinda sad they changed some of the English VAs.
I think I'm in the minority, but I liked some of the originals.
Ha. Or maybe I just got used to 'em.
The WHM shire weapon is called “Augmented Shire Crook” @lone zephyr
well there's some they had to change
death
Ahh, that sucks. 😦
didnt merlwyb's va pass away?
I faintly remember smth like that
but ok, you guys reinforced me to try the english dub, as I am starting stormblood rn
Like, for me... the game has a kind of goofy quality to the English, but that's not a knock on it.
It's like, these characters suit that tone.
as long as the hype scenes dont get ruined i dont mind
japanese is often a lot more emotional, but as I have heard so much praise for the english dub I will try it
I generally find Japanese acting to emote more powerfully, but in this case I don't think it's what I want for the game. I say this with nothing but love for it, but the animations and designs are kinda goofy to me.
does AST get something like asylum at some point?
Yes
not collective unconscious
!action Earthly Star
Deploys an Earthly Star in the designated area and grants the effect of Earthly Dominance.
Duration: 10s
Executing Stellar Detonation while under the effect of Earthly Dominance creates a Stellar Burst dealing unaspected damage with a potency of 100 to all nearby enemies. Also restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 540
After 10s, Earthly Dominance effect is changed to Giant Dominance.
Duration: 10s
Waiting 10s or executing Stellar Detonation while under the effect of Giant Dominance creates a Stellar Explosion dealing unaspected damage with a potency of 150 to all nearby enemies. Also restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 720
oh it heals while its down too
i thought it was just burst heal at the end
Yes
If you wait 10s, it is 50% more potent
Wait 10 more, it will detonate by itself without your input (while keeping the 50% potency increase)
I see a lot of people with maid outfits when did the event happen?
Oh

is there a quick sell button? I made a lot of leatherworking stuff
do I have to sell it one for one?
One by one
it's such an easy accessibility option why can't you select more items and do sell all
can I map hunt with someone on another server in my data center?
cool
Also there's a dream of the fayth option at the calamity salvager, was that an event or something?
hello, im in a weird problem right now and I hope I can find some answers. So I'm hunting the unicorns mounts and I was doing The bowl of embers (extreme) and when the whistle dropped the game told me that I already have that item, so I checked my inventory, my retainer's inventory, and I don't have the whistle...
You already used it and registered in your mount guide
It includes whether or not you have used the whistle as well
Not just if its in your inventories
Does anything in this game make enemy drops (not like dungeon loot, I'm talking crafting mats that you can farm) more likely or more numerous?
what's the purpose of the grand company except for a shop where the only useful thing is glamour prisms?
Not really
Ventures, Glamours
Old mats 🤷♂️
Some exp stuff
Some stuff for old relics
ventures? the things for retainers?
Yeah you can buy them
Can't get a room in the GC house without being Lt. in GC.
Plus the mini aetheryte for whenever you get a house
Uh FC house.
it kills time when youre queueing
so people don't have to teleport in the area and search for your house
Whenever you get one
So is theree somewhere I can look up previous versions of classes? 2.0, 3.0, etc. Im curious
To recruit someone in my GC, i need to complete a catagory or just one of the log inside the catagory?
Just a log in a category
Oh, that be easy
@faint flare I already checked on my mount guide and the mount its not there
Do /isearch The item
Enclose it with quotations for more than one word
If you did discard the whistle you’ll just have to get it again
Man, the drop rates for some stuff are stingy. You'd think an animal would always yield some meat when you kill it.
@obsidian patio I already did the raid and the game didn't let me get the whistle
because "I already have it"
lol
Then you do.
Checked the Chocobo Saddlebag, and all your retainers?
yup
Try typing this exact thing
/isearch Aithon
Because its a aoe pet
oh
fair enough
can I change pets in the future or is this the only pet I'll ever summon? changing colors doesn't count as new pet
And you checked your mount guide thoroughly?
Submit a bug report then and see what SE can do for you
where can I get a lvl 60 weapon for poetics in idyllshire?
Hello, How do I unlock other items in the yellow scripts like slithersand?
yeah I think its the only way
@signal gull bertana in the shire weapon exchange
@obsidian patio @faint flare thank you guys
Hello I am starting ff14 and i'm level 24 I was wondering how big is the new region norvrandt ?
thanks for having me patience
realistically speaking, with road to 70 buff and doing MSQs how long would it take to hit 70?
ok I got it it's an AOE pet but holy moly is 1 damage the best this can offer without a skill
Most of the zones post heavensward are roughly same size. The shadowbringers zones are just more directly connected land wise. The best comparison might be la noscea
@lunar wagon complete the quests “Reach Long and Prosper” in Rhalgr’s Reach along with “The Boutique always wins” in Eulmore
@obsidian patio Thank you! I'll go check it out
@tame mirage that’s just how the damage is at the very low levels
It’s also based on your gear and stats
@lone zephyr the fayth stuff was from a crossover event forever ago. It hasnt beem removed from salvager in case 2 people still have reward certificates
@icy quiver all the zones there are pretty big
ok thank you ! because I come from WoW and GW2 and the zones for now seem smaller compared to those game but it's maybe only an impression
Only the base game zones are small since they weren’t designed with flying in mind
is allied reputation above blood sworn?
yes
you can only get allied though when you complete the allied beast quest (which requires all rep of that expansion to be maxed out)
so for shb beast tribes, probably won't see the allied tribe quest until 5.5 most likely
oh and also can i get a mount lvl 24 ?
ahh okay ty
You get it at level 20 in the story
As long as you’re caught up on MSQ
You get it at level 20 in the story
@obsidian patio Oops i forgot to take it then xD
so I have maxed out Company seals. Any idea what I should spend them on ?
so does it take long to lvl a DoH to 19? I just saw thats the req. for the materia unlock feature. I only played MSQ and never looked into life skills
@lone violet I recommend focusing on promotions until Sergeant Second class to be able to turn in dungeon gear for more seals
@signal gull goes by super fast, just make one of each item in the crafting log in the 1-15 sections
I am 2nd storm lieutenant and I can't promote for some reason
My 4th hotbar is shared, how can I turn it off to make it specifically for 1 job layout? I can’t find the option in HUD layout
@signal gull using materials you buy from your guild NPC
@mossy tartan character config, Hotbar
aight thx guys
You cant turn it off for a specific hud layout
HUD layout setting only handle the positioning/size of a UI
You have to participate in the squadron command to promote past 2nd lieutenant
@mossy tartan character config, Hotbar
@warped nest thank you, found it
@obsidian patio so Just run command missions (dungeons) and I will be able to promote myself ?
No, the ones where you send them out on missions
The mission that lets you promote to first lieutenant appears at level 40, though you’ll have a hard time clearing it until your squad is level 50+
you mean this ?
Whats the best method to get GC Seals that doesnt involve selling dungeon loot?
Making stuff for the crafted/gathered expert turn ins once a day
Where do you see those?
Your GC administratior > supply and delivery missions
Note these require having crafters and gatherers unlocked
And rewards still depend on your current level @ reset
ah
what are good sources of exp bonuses for levelling alt classes?
I know of the ring for 30% under lvl 30
!faq altlvlguide
main job being higher then alts gives it bonus xp
100% bonus xp till ... 60 then it drops to 50% i think?
Which tank has the highest personal damage? Or are they all close?
they stay as classes
Hmm.. regarding the melon minion
Do you have to consistently water for 7 days?
Or is it cummulative?
Like i can spread this 7 days over 2 weeks

Does this mechanic apply to all plants?
You have to water them every day or so to keep them from dying
You could stretch it past a day, but you run the risk of forgetting and losing all the time/Gil spent if they die
anyone who knows how you get this sightseeing spot in the NW part of Coerthas western highlands?
iirc Aoi. the melon minion is buyable from the marketboard for (as far as I recall) rather cheaply
Walk onto the statue itself, you can’t fly directly to the node
so. Could I suggest skipping the growing and going straight to the marketboard?
I personally wouldn’t so soon in the patch
They’re still like 150k on Gilgamesh 
are you talking about the allagan melon?
Scratch that, 80k now
Do i have to spend tome of poetics every week?
You don’t need to, but you can’t stockpile any past 2000
they're not that important at cap
Is the potency of X spell a multiplier of the caster’s stats and weapon / magic damage?
The math is a bit more complicated than that, but basically yes
!action cure ii
i’m very new though. Just got to the part where poetics were introduced
Cure 2 WAY outstrips a warriors Equil
Despite the difference of 500 potency, these heal around the same assuming equal gear.
My equilibrium heals for 29k and my cure 2 heals for 30k. (WAR has i480 gear and WHM has i490)
so i should spend poetics to avoid the 2000 cap(?) but on what?
Any place to read those active help windows outside of the game?
Want to read all those ones that appeared in my first dungeon that I couldnt because everyone was rushing
You can spend it on i130 ironworks gear at Mor Dhona and the Sundry Splendors in the main city-states
Did they change how you upgrade ironworks in 5.3 Wynne?
don't have to go over to gerolt anymore?
Would anyone mind making a party for my friend and I we are on trial accounts
New players can’t get unaugmented tomestone gear anymore
Does anyone know what the min value for retainer gathering should be to have access to full loot table?
They just buy the augmented directly
awesome. thats a good streamline feature
!faq retainerbp
ty
is that just for ironworks or did they change that for the others too?
All 3
dope. good change. good job SE
My equilibrium heals for 29k and my cure 2 heals for 30k. (WAR has i480 gear and WHM has i490)
@obsidian patio woah, so little a difference despite the massive potency gap
Because of scaling for each classes
It’s a good example of why you don’t directly compare potencies of other classes
Interesting, thank you
Its a rough judge at best
There is a boat in Coerthas Western Highlands that I need to get on in order to complete my job quest. However, I'm unable to get on it. Do I need to unlock flying first in order to get on the boat?
but has so many just wacky comparisons its not worth
Yes frumples
if I'm leveling a retainer from lv1, is it more efficient to use the 18h field exploration ventures or to do the 1h hunting ones?
1hr is better if you’re actively playing, 18 hours if you’re going AFK or logging off
So I have an acquaintance who seems to have an allergy to spell effects. I know you can turn spell effects down or off, but is there any way to turn them even more off? like, the casting glow around you?
yeah. does the like xp per venture token not matter? not sure how easy it is to get venture tokens
they're buyable from GC seals which are easily farmable
what's the best way to get GC seals? I can't turn in dungeon gear yet apparently
@agile laurel if you mean the glow when you’re spending your time casting to get the spell out, no.
then go ahead and get to that rank
yeah, i do mean that
my mans just complains about spell effects whatever we do so I was wondering if there was like an absolute zero mode
how do you get the GC seals before you can turn in dungeon gear?
So the grand company hunting log
fates, your GC hunting log
roulettes
cool thanks! 🙂
bout to move to tonberry, are apartments still available there?
In some districts yes
wait housing can run out?
Can you pause your sub
damn. I'm on brynhildr. hopefully it's not all gone. x.x
you can unlink your credit card to not re-sub once your time runs out
apartments dont run out
just started playing a few days ago lol
but houses do
i thought apartments dont run out unlike houses
they dont
They theoretically don’t, but SE still has to do stuff to increase their limit
oh i see
I think the true maximum number of rooms for an apartment in a ward is 512
Fair enough. We've sort've taken that server as an our own
that and kujata is where you'll find the majority of english speaking players on Elemental
unofficial english server huh? id like to be able to interact with more ppl too
over at typhon its mostly chinese or japanese
Ah so you're familar with the auto-translate wrangling already. good
thats still a thing here
im only like 20% proficient in those language
