i see, i guess due to non continuous downloading....
in the city atm
Do you have space in your inventory/armory?
@open coral thx for at least trying to give me reasons why it would stop
@turbid atlas are you on console or pc? on console it might need to download the entire file again I think
Can you screenshot your game with your cursor hovering the coffer? Feel like that would give enough information to tell you why it's not working
How come i never get any delivery missiom for my gc
ps4
@median locust ok
Ohh, on PS4.
Yeah, on PS4 if the download gets interrupted it starts over.
Because it's stupid like that.
If the connection to the download server resets for whatever reason.
It might not have been something you did.
but to be fair i also stopped for a week
@median locust
On PS4 it also downloads in three sections - first it downloads the file, then it copies it, then it saves it.
Again, because PS4 is dumb
better to do on pc?
Oh yeah that coffer includes a specific blue belt
You'd have to purchase the PC license.
no free trial?
Lemme see if I can check which one
How come i never get any delivery missiom for my gc
@vestal needle what do you mean? the ones where you turn in items?
ok ill send a screenshot @median locust
If you've already entered the code for your PS4 version and linked it to your account, you can't go back to any free trial version.
@frosty galleon Throw away your Ardent Belt of Healing or put it on a retainer, then try again
You'd have to make a new service account entirely.
nope still haven't touched either of them
In that case, yeah, you should be fine trying to download the free trial PC version
@median locust
still trying to download on ps4 since my pc graphics are not great
PS4 version is fine, just the download format is awful.
unless i can find a way to find lower graphics
You have an Ardent Belt of Healing somewhere in your inventory or armory chest
Or equipped to your charcter
If you end up with the PS4 version (like me), you have to be sure to start patch downloads well before you want to play.
Say, do Ethers get any use in the game?
@median locust
Not really @jolly sorrel
@open coral k i'll try once more before switching to pc
They used to, but now they're basically legacy items
@median locust does it count from armory?
Thx for the advice
@frosty galleon Armory Chest yes
I see
It counts anything in your inventory, Armory, or chocobo saddlebags
@median locust ok let me check that
What's this armoire thing?
The Armoire is a place where you can store event and special class gear.
@frosty galleon But I think I know why. They recently removed unupgraded items from the game and your Fabled Belt of Healing is the upgraded version of that. Throw away your Fabled Belt of Healing then try again.
I'm pretty sure that's it
is there a benefit in completing my crafter's job quests?
Yes
Always do job quests
They give skills and stuff
Define "special gear"
@median locust throw away means sell it or discard?
i havent get a single party to do odin yet lol
@frosty galleon Any way you want, just remove it from your inventory.
@frosty walrus Things like the level 45/50 class gear, or the Collector's Edition gear rewards.
@median locust ok
the trial? I think its like the longest arr one to queue for
i havent get a single party to do odin yet lol
@karmic niche
wow
Level 65 crafter class quests give Manipulation 2 which is pretty mandatory for crafting
Oh so the gear you get from the class quests?
Only the gear you get for level 45/50 class quests.
Later class gear can't be stored in the Armoire
Odin is the only trial that isn't in the Trials roulette so it'll take a while to pop.
For reasons
Well that's kinda dumb
Yes
Does adding materia to gear increas the ilevel?
No
No
odin's basically an extreme trial
Materia is just stats
is there any way to throttle the download speed
so its not going to be done sync'd
better off making a party finder for it and doing it unsync
No problem!
i gave it to my retainer
Can I do my atmas without having my relic weapon equipped? Also, can a fate drop both an atma and a Yokai medal?
any idea why i can store the blm yokai weap in armoire but cant store gnb and dnc one?
No you need the weapon equipped for Atmas
Don't know about the Yokai medals though
Might be an oversight on the devs' part if the BLM can, seackei
@gritty oracle I was gonna ask the same thing
I'm going to try it, I'll let you know if I can do fates for yokai and get atma
where do i redeem the rewards from the collectors edition i just bought?
weapon zenith?
Yeah
You get them in the mail
do we even know what the wqeapons look like? xD
Ingame
wth is that
Lv50 relic weapon
There's a step that requires you to grind fate, so it's a good idea to grind Fates for two things at a time lol
White scrip gear
this event doesnt make sense, when i do like a lot , i get nothing, when i do like almost nothing, i get legendarises >.>
Better than unmelded facet
@karmic niche have you made zenith yet? Need to use the furnace
Need 3 thav. mist
Look up a guide Enles
is it just me or am i not getting anymore coins after 5?
@gritty oracle looking at past yokai event comments, you can farm atma at the same time provided you're in the correct zone for it
Big pog
where do I get the totems for the primal gear exchange?
does it matter what legendary u get?
does seacloth drop from the zonureskin map? and is that the only one?
i've got a question for players with ps4 controllers, how much inputs can you have on the, specfically, right side of a controller
i'd like to think it's possible for a one handed player to play on a ps4 controller, unless there are better options than a ps4 controller
is there a way to see the amount of damage you do with DoTs? I'm playing conjurer and it'd be really nice to see how much damage my dots actually do
i've been beaten by people with casts in arms, not a one handed person, so i'd be curious if it's possible for them to play
Unfortunatly there is no real way of doing that with controller
Those people were most likely using MMO mouses
The ones with like 20 buttons on them
mmo mouses are expensive, to add, they're a bit disabled on using the keyboard
is there a way to see the amount of damage you do with DoTs? I'm playing conjurer and it'd be really nice to see how much damage my dots actually do
@tame mirage on default settings those do appear as smaller numbers under your white damage numbers afaik
mmo mouses are not that expensive, it's 10 extra euros/dollars than a normal mouse
on default settings those do appear as smaller numbers under your white damage numbers afaik
@quasi widget do they? can't see them maybe I'm just blind tho
ty
in a third world country, that shit is 3/4 of my compensation by the government
they're gonna be covered up by everything else and mixed with other people's damage
oh then yeah that's gonna be a problem lol
so its easy to miss
got it, ty
Heyo - when waiting in queue for a server does it just pick people at random? I joined something and it said like 19 people waiting then somehow I got in. Feel kinda bad if it's not a first-in-first-out.
I do think you can make so that only your damage appears as text on enemies
So this might be a pretty loaded question, but how does summoner rotation work these days? I logged in yesterday to about half my old buttons didnt work and atherflow no longer has 3 dots.
is there an add-on like Details! for wow that lets you see the DPS your party does?
it usually goes in huge chunks, if there's actual big login queues they update by chunks of like 50-100 people at once @waxen scaffold

So this might be a pretty loaded question, but how does summoner rotation work these days? I logged in yesterday to about half my old buttons didnt work and atherflow no longer has 3 dots.
@surreal geyser you have to start with your pet attacks to weave your opening ogcds, then do regular burst stuff. I'd say look up a guide cause smn has one of the more complicated rotation
is there an add-on like Details! for wow that lets you see the DPS your party does?
@tame mirage yup. its not supported by the devs, so its a weird dont ask dont tell kinda thing for mods so yeah.
its roughly the same general idea but a lot of things inside it changed
hey quick question, the item to recustomize your characters race n stuff, is it only available through real money?
2 minute loop with bahamut and phoenix phases
Yea probably not the best to try to pick up after coming back.
just hit a dummy for a while and figure it out, no reason to avoid it 
do i get to anything from completing all the rank in hunting log?
wait why isn't a DPS counter supported by the devs isn't it like one of the best things an MMO can offer
because
you get one for free for finishing the base game story at level 50, after that it's only through the cash shop, yes @stone shell
wait so you mean that there isn't a DPS counter because it makes people toxic? 
pretty much
@green grail ah okay! thank you 😄
not really
"instead of punishing people for being toxic we will deter people from using an important learning tool"

you're correct, but ffxiv has a lot more of a casual playerbase than other mmos
and they don't want mean nasty words said to them
that's the reasons the devs gave, feel free to discuss in #general-discussion
^
where do i trade in the yokai watch medals
at the gold saucer npc i believe
also tell more people about this event this event is very impressive as a yokai watch fan im impressed how well it works
thanks vis
What are exp efficient things to do while waiting in queue?
Fates/beast tribes/crafting/gathering
Msq
Msq if you have it
Fates is good for Yokai rn
Unless you're in queue because of msq
i'm just in queue for dungeons leveling
hey, what does a new player have to buy rn to play everything? just shadowbringers and a sub?
complete edition
Either base game + ShB or a complete edition
and sub after 30 days
Complete edition
Technically you need the base game, all the expansions and the sub, so yea complete edition
oh theres a complete ed nice, ty
Complete is on sale rn

Does mob tagging in azys lla still work to level blu?
from which raid
errr sorry
Does mob tagging in azys lla still work to level blu?
@agile laurel yes
I realize that was unspecific.
current tier, I don't understand the 2 chest/1 chest thing
How long does it take to get everything from Yokai?
so 2 chests spawn, 2 coffers, do you roll for both? ; _ ;
So blu tags mob, overleveled friend merks mob, blu gets levels?
yes Emu
gotcha. cheers
Iirc if 0 people cleared, you get 2 chests for clear
If 1-4 people cleared, you get 1 coffer
If 5-8 ppl cleared, you get 0
yeah you can roll on all loot from a savage fight
okay so no loot restriction?
can someone tell me were can I find Ryne after the end of 5.3 ?
you get to see loot once a week
Does Azys la tagging also work for regular jobs for 1-15? Assuming you have a SCH or AST to shield your squishy ass.
is the weapon from the event only available for level 80?
@inland wolf I'd guess Crystarium or Ahm Araeng or the Empty?
I don't think Enles. Seasonal events are usually level 15 and up
got it Vis, thanks
ok
alphinaud makes me question whether am i straight or not
/r/bi_irl
Chest number is determined by number of people who have/have not cleared that week @leaden ginkgo
then i realize its because he looks like a female, but im not actually into males
so you can effectively see 2 boxes, then 1 box?
I remember he got mixed up with Alisaie once in the Bahamut storyline
Yes
Or 0, depending on the rest of the party
no not or
if i am playing with no sound on i would be convinced he is a she
E5S clear- see 2 chests, E5S clear again- see 1 chest
Yes, but if 5-8 people have cleared the raid of your group, you'll see 0 chests
Including you
But even if you see a chest you can't get loot from it iirc
Is E5-8S still on weekly lockout?
so i can just keep clearing E5S until i have all equips
oh
wait
nvm you just said it was weekly
If you so happen to keep joining 1 chest groups and winning every roll theoretically yes
but i thought it was locked?
But the drops also have to be what you want
Are MGP Platinum Cards influenced by the +% MGP buffs?
Its locked as in you can't get 2 chest runs repeatedly
Thanks
OH haha, yea well obviously :^)
Because you yourseld will reduce loot amount by being in the instance
the yo-kai medal how does those work? how many do the guy want and how does it determine which i one i get?
thanks for your help eʎuuɐɥƆ and Vie
As of 5.3, how do I unlock The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Hard)?
It used to be part of the MSQ, from what I can tell
It doesn't seem to be
do you have normal mode unlocked?
I find that strange though, because isn't normal mode unlocked from a lvl 35 sidequest?
Then that must have been changed prior to 5.3 because I unlocked Qarn from a
at 35
Vesper Bay in Western Than
@lyric warren First off, you get the medals from FATEs for the minion you're after. Then you have your minion out, go to the zone that's applicable to the minion, and Do those FATEs for weapon medallions. The amount the guy wants is based on how many weapons you already have unlocked.
I don't remember doing that at all, thought it was MSQ ; _ ;
Its always been bluequest voxel
anyone know where to get the yokai mount from?
you need 13 minions
Getting all the weapons @deft lintel
Was it just required for MSQ progression then?
@plush hound but this shows u can get more than 1 minion in the same place? https://twillster.uk/yokai/
i have all the minions but no mount?
Well thanks
do i get to buy which ever one i want with the medals?
@lyric warren The minion you have out determines what weapon medallion you get. There are crossover zones so you can stay in the same zone for multiple weapons.
What kind of a time investment is trying to get the Couch Yokai mount? Am I looking at hours, weeks?
does high quality matter in diadem fishing? should i be using patience?
w@plush hound im thinking of the minion only not weapons like how do u get the minion
@lyric warren The standard medals to buy a minion is not zone specific. Any eligible zone's FATEs can give the standard medals.
What kind of a time investment is trying to get the Couch Yokai mount? Am I looking at hours, weeks?
@jolly sorrel really shouldnt be that bad. looks like they upped the drop rates a lot from the previous time around
Wait waiw aiwat wait
There is a person in the Gold Saucer where you trade the regular medals for the minions.
so any advice on how to get the ghost mount? i have all minions like it said to do?:c
Is there a place where I can store a bunch of my items that are in my inventory and now not need?
^you can store stuff in retainers
chocobo bag, retainers
I guess I already have most of them...... except for they added 4 more?
@plush hound aah ok, when do u get the mount?=
oh where can I find those retainers?
you hire them in main cities
there are NPCs called retainer vocates which is where you do so
@lyric warren The Scooty Puff Jr one is from collecting all the original minions. There is a glowing one that comes from collecting all the weapons, and the new mount probably comes from collecting the new ones as well I guess (not sure). They're achievement rewards so after you get the corresponding achievement go talk to the achievement person in Gridania.
sweet thanks
Where are people doing the Yokai fates? Anywhere really?
check party finder :D
Good idea
look for the locations you need
I need 12 plain medals first
IF i want to get the DRK yokai weapon what do i need to do?
i need hovernyan right
@jolly sorrel for minions, any eligible FATE is applicable (so from ARR through SB FATEs). Weapon medallions are specific to particular zones.
anyone know the zone for hovernyan legendaries?
Zones for the DRK Yokai is Western LaNoesca, East Thanlan, and South Shroud.
how many medals do u need for all minions?
What are the drop rates for legendary? lol
pick it up from jonathas, it's an achievement reward @devout anvil
@devout anvil Talk to the guy in Gridania that handles achievements.
Is there a way to edit my character's base appearance?
@lone zephyr A fantasia will cover that. You get one free one from the MSQ, further ones are purchased off the FFXIV store
Thanks
you can visit a hairstylist to change haircut/hair color/tattoos, but nothing else without a fantasia
@lone zephyr A fantasia will cover that. You get one free one from the MSQ, further ones are purchased off the FFXIV store
At which level? I'm a free trial user
Plus I'm close to finishing ARR
so im a 32 Dragoon. but im not really liking it. how do i go about leveling a 2nd job? just equip weapon and the msq will restart over or how am i supposed to do this?
You can type the word partway and hit tab for autosuggested answers @leaden ginkgo
lol kinda crazy to yokai hunt without mount. Guess I will leave it for later
!faq altlvlguide
Also dragoon doesn't feel good until like 60
@dull sparrow Each Job has a quest giver in aparticular city. Talk to them to start a quest that unlocks it.
Most jobs feel pretty meh early
feels kinda weird having to lvl up to 60 before a class might be interesting xD
is it common to get placed on a waiting list to purchase the complete edition?
I haven't heard of it before but it's possible. Where are you buying it from?
eu store
what does THMR mean??
thamaturge
@dull sparrow thats a side effect of skill pruning and job adjustments throughout the expansion
@leaden ginkgo thm is thaumaturge
mybad bad
THMR means tank healer melee ranged in this context
thanks
Probably in relation to a strat positioning
unfortunately all jobs in this game take a bit to ramp up to the point where they feel engaging
maybe i should just push my dragoon to atleast 60+ then.
yeah once you start firing energy blasts DRG starts to feel a bit different 😛
Where's "raising" in the Auto-Translator
@leaden ginkgo crafting and gathering.... but I think its (raising) seeds?
is getting 350k xp in a lvl 70 dungeon normal?
Don't use swiftcast in it
Also resurrection has to be in quotes or autotranslated
Add a target to that line as well
So what do players who don't do Old Savage Content do for a second ring for 50/60/70?

probably, dungeons at old level caps aren't leveling dungeons per se, with the exp being added as a tiny extra after the next expansion comes out @old crypt
lvl 69 or 71 dungeons will give way more than a lvl 70 dungeon
oh... its hard to level to 71 from 70 then
not really, like 3-4 runs of the 69 dungeon
So Augmented Crafted rings for 50/60/70 jobs now?
how do people find maps to sell on MB?
gathering
You can gather 1 every day
And sell it
Its a hidden item at the correct level nodes
Like this?
Dont need the wait 2
Is it worth trying to level jobs (especially DPS) during Yo-Kai fate farming? I don't seem to be getting much XP anyway
And the micon can be at the bottom
The swiftcast echo is useless if you dont have swiftcast in the macro but you shouldn't use swift in the macro either way
also a /wait 60 is pretty janky, any other macro will cancel the /wait and /echo
(during those 60s)
Still im keeping that one for now but thanks for the feedback
Yeah summoner absolutely uses swift for its rotation
The other casters you can get away without but
Without those extra lines you can repeat the /ac "resurrection" <t> more times to get it to have a higher chance of going off more consistently @leaden ginkgo
im trying to do some culinary leves in costa del sol but none is showing up, do i need to unlock them?
Did you do the bluequest "leves of Costa del sol"
Yes, just finished it
What are the good BLU spells for Yokai Fate farming? Same as the regular BLU "DPS rotation"?
I have a quick housing question when it comes to transferring to lots; if you own a small can you only transfer to smalls, or can you transfer to bigger lots?
You can transfer up
You can transfer to whatever size you want
Nice thanks
Hmmm are you checking under tradecraft leves @thorn mantle
can we see what yokai weapons we already got?
what is the command to target npc in a crowd of ppl?
i just click on characters that are nearby and look what they are targeting. then I click on the target
after that you can right click on the name of the NPC
ah nice
@median locust @little swift I am hearing that doom can be a bit of a dickmove in regard to people losing kill credit
But I am just hearing that
I've seen conjurers with protect, how do they get it? 😮
^
Makes sense lol
ohh oki
Pre-Shadowbringers at least, yeah
Can someone explain to me how glamour works?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
is there a way to get pyros crystals if no one is doing NMs?
guys
one stupid question
which is, for you, the best healer?
i have all 3 at 80, but i want to know your opinion about it
@leaden ginkgo you unfortunately have to do NMs
any healer that knows mechanics and know how and when to use their skills probably
anyone knows where I find my playonline ID?
@grizzled gyro there is an Innkeep at all of the adventurer's guilds that you can talk to to go to your inn room (strangely they never charge you)
WHM has big heals and good DPS. AST is big on buffs and good heals. SCH has little in the way of big heals but is king at damage mitigation
Honestly its just pick ur posion
Sch isn't even that great at mitigation since you have to gcd cast for it. Its aetherflow and seraph is where it shines
love the stances on AST, the cards... but WHM, was the class on FF when i was a child that introduced me on healers and supports and it is why i always play a healer/support on everygame i play
I need to find playonline ID guys to get in contact with support, anyone knows what is it?
that sounds like a ff 11 thing
uhh i didn't get my yokai weap? wtf?
you traded in the medals and you didn't get it?
or did it just not magically appear in your inventory automatically when you got the last medal
Nvm found it
@leaden ginkgo try the comments in there?
it seems I can't register my cd key to get one
How do I exit combat with a striking dummy
@keen fable right click and select reset enmity
hello, whats the point of blue mage? and is there a list for the yokai watch event? where to get each minion?
oh I don't have to write that
sweet didnt think of that one
Use sss if you're practicing opener
Or spam reprise, but
stone, sea, sky
Stone sky sea
@raven burrow Any FATE from ARR through to SB give you normal medals which are traded in at the gold saucer for the minions. The weapons require specific zones.
what's that?
basically a place where you can practice rotations against a dummy meant to simulate certain encounters
will i be able to finish sss if i just got rdm?
chart online shows i need at least 1kdps
@keen fable Being too far out of balance isn't bad as there's no ill-effects, but it's unoptimal as it takes longer to get the other meter up.
Why- why does the world barrier cut into the actual map? Did I miss something?
@raven burrow https://twillster.uk/yokai/
oh wait, i can't access sss anyways, i'm not in hw yet
thank you kindly
@plush hound gotcha, i just started this class and have no clue what i'm doing :p
@gritty oracle The barrier is for surface/flight travel. The tunnel is an offshoot that can pass through it.
also its an ARR zone given flying well after its creation
@plush hound uhm, i dont understand the link you shared xD is it just collection?
@raven burrow also keep in mind you need to have the minion out to get the weapon medals.
fates in its areas yea
It's a tracker but it's also a reference chart. The filled in areas are zones that you get the weapon medals in.
Does anyone know how high the flying barrier is in ARR areas?
And yes. You do any FATEs from ARR through SB to get the regular medals. You trade those in for the minion, then you have the minion out in eligible zones to get a chance for a weapon medal.
It varies based off zone.
do i need 1 weapon medal or is it more?
More
check the pinned image
The amount of medals needed is based off how many you already have. The more you have, the more medals subsequent ones cost.
so
if i'm looking at RDM's abilities correctly
i use casts to build mana, then dash in to do my redoublement combo at 80 of each?
(at level 50)
yep
Yup. Utilizing Doublecast to offset the longer cast time spells.
well, manafication if you have 40/40 and up. Allegedly it doesn't matter if you would overcap because the magic damage bonus to melee combo is yummy.
To be optimal, you use Your dash and backhop when they are ready
You don't stock them to dash in for your melee stuff
but watch where you backflip
I've backflipped into deathwall at memoria misera so many times I was forbidden from using the skill at all lmao.
lol
Why engagement exists
Then there's Titan...
wait so should i be jolting every other ability then?
bUt DisPLaCeMenT Is mOrE pOtEnCy
If you have no proc
You can create other character in the trial test?
actually, if you have no proc and swiftcast is off cooldown, use that and then Verthunder/Veraero to skip a Jolt cast. You don't want to cast Jolt more than is strictly necessary.
yes
Jolt to start off is a good idea, followed with either VerThunder or VerAero to keep you meters roughly even. Otherwise use Jolt only if you don't have VerFire or VerStone active.
!faq 50rdm
is there an orchestrian roll for that really echo-y version of Answers often used in The Rising event and recently used near the end of 5.3?

that one?
should be on mogstation, it's from the 2017 rising
is the quality of materials dropped by mobs random, or can i increase the chance for higher quality?
random
AH I see. Because verfire/verstone have short cast times, that's why you can use those to proc the other
and vise versa
so higher levels of the same mob will not drop better items?
@marble drift That's the one, thank you!
free damage @keen fable
Is rainmaker unobtainable?
Engaement and Displacement do damage themselves and are off GCD.
It seems like I gain mana faster than the cooldown on displacement tho
where do you get the yokai watch mounts?
so higher levels of the same mob will not drop better items?
@thorn mantle as far as I know, no.
@trim solstice They're achivement rewards
ah right, thanks
alright, thanks for the help
Eh yes no...
@keen fable you shouldn't link your corpacorp/displacement with your mana combo
isn't that what helps facilitate the melee combo though?
Later you get manafication and it lines up better to melee combo when you havealmost 100 mana outside of it to make everything line up
No it doesn't use your legs
@thorn mantle Drop rate *might be different based off level where higher level mobs could possibly drop more or more frequently, but that's only theory based off data submission to tracking sites.
You don't want to be in a stupid mana amount when it comes off cd
Gets you to the melee combo faster
You mana at 40/41 if you can
i see
Is the rainmaker hairstyle unavailable or...
Currently yes

NPC that you have to go to inns to access
But I believe theres a quest you have to do first
can I do anything with creamy oysters after I turn in the quest for it?
@gritty oracle nope. Quest Item only
@little swift I think I did that, but sooo long ago, what do I do then?
Crystal bell at the inn
ohh oki, thank you! ❤️
Does animation cancelling a weaponskill with another do reduced damage with the first weaponskill?
No
ahh nice
Animation has no baring
where do you get flying for your chocobo
infact that animation cancelling using other skills is generally called Weaving
you 'weave' an off-gcd skill or an ability
can you put the new yo-kai event items into the armoire?
is there a point where EXP from beast tribe dailies, like the Moogles for example, caps out and it's not really worth it to do them anymore for exp?
@lyric kraken yes

is there a point where EXP from beast tribe dailies, like the Moogles for example, caps out and it's not really worth it to do them anymore for exp?
@leaden ginkgo when you reach the cap for that expansion
ooooh okay
@little swift hm Im at the innkeep inGridania but I see no crystal bell anywhere
cool cool thanks
@marble drift I see, thats cool, I thought that it would cancel the damage out
I think they'll just give 10k exp if youre overleveled
@stone shell It's in the room you request
no this isnt a fighting game XD
ohhhh okiii thank you: @plush hound
how long does it take for mobs to respawn?
2ish minutes
not long. fate mobs even sooner
ok
Can i sell stuff on another server MB?
no, only buy
Hi all. At what point will I be able to fly?
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
'What zones can I fly in?'
Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.
You can fly in arr zones after completing ultimate weapon
how high does the req. go for the legendary wep medal's?
Sorry and thanks 🙂
Are shadowbringer dungeons the way to go for lvl 71 to 80?
theres also the pixie tribe quests that give pretty good exp
combine em both with daily roulettes
I want to purchase the complete edition but my account thinks I am from the US
I am not
I see
Did you create an NA account?
I created an account
right but you had to select a region
is it possible to tune down skill effects?
Yes
yes. check your options
where exactly?
@raven burrow
does it matter which yokai i choose for my first if i am interested in a specific weapon skin? (dancer)
yup! you need that minion to get that weapon
i'm a bit overwhelmed, how do i know which yokai for which weapon?
check the pinned messages, theres a guide
ah thx
@grizzled gyro it asks for your region on account creation, gotta make a new one if you selected the wrong region
so for dnc it should be Damona if im not dumb and blind
its the same spot above and below
Dude...
just...make a new one
I've played for like 30 hours already...
30 hours is... not that much
I mean you had the option to chage it on creation mate
@quasi widget ok thx i'll just get damona 😄
Then you'll need to contact SE support and ask them. I doubt they can change it, but there's no method by which to solve the problem yourself.
Does anyone know, if you played the Yokai event before, is your first minion from the vendor for this round still only 1 medallion, or do you start at 3?
probably 3 since it's not your first minion
Hah, BLU is a bit controversial right now
hii, I'm new and have a question about the complete edition if someone wouldn't mind helping me >_>
Ask thy question
I'm currently on the free trial but want to buy the complete edition before the sale ends, would it be possible to wait with redeeming the complete edition until I get closer to HW content?
I just started out so don't want to /waste/ the game time aha
@simple shore BLU can be as controversial as it wants to be. Not gonna stop me from going in and nuking things with Quasar/Dragon's Voice
@brisk mist Yes, you can do that.
ohhh that's great, thanks for answering <3
Until you actually register the game code, you can continue playing the free trial as long as you want. 🙂
Any recommendations to fast track an archer from lvl 1 to 70?
!faq altlvlguide
oh, I did look at the guide just awhile ago, what does it mean by 1 run of PoTD tho
I am screwed...
how many floor clears are that
Its slowee
awww shucks
the queues take forever with PoTD
Yeah, the fastest queues are for 51-60 because that's what everyone runs for xp purposes
I would recommend doing a fixed party with three friends to clear up through that point.
how do i go to the gold saucer?
There's a quest in Ul'dah called "It Could Happen to You" which unlocks access to the Gold Saucer.
If you've completed that, you can either use the teleport point if you've attuned the aetheryte there, or take the airship from Ul'dah.
I bought the game last week but I haven’t had to pay a subscription. Is it free of subscriptions through ARR?
You get a month of free game time with the complete edition
how create macro for job chaning ?
Oh I see. Thanks for the info 🙏
was that supposed to changing
or chaining
cause you don't need a macro to change jobs.
you use gear sets.
chaning*
wanna try again?
/gearset change #
Macro can be useful if you want to change settings when changing jobs, like hud layout, sound settings, title, etc
Ok wait I don't understand
First off
Why are there like 4 different square enix sites
second
Hi, do i need to watch the expensions cutscene on the main screen or is the cutscene in game when i reach the start of the expension ?
so basically i can have every class on one character?
This is from my account from the US yet I can still buy it with euro. How does this get sent.
Yes Figo
what are good keybinds instead of the numbers?
first anwer than Spook. Languages.
No I am talking about like, Square Enix, Square Enix Store, Lodestone, Mog Station
@patent trellis They don't appear in the game other than the main menu.
square enix is there home base. used a directory to the rest
Ok thanks
SE Store is just that. the site thats in charge of selling you stuff
Lodestone is for character data and other stuff.
Mogstation is for character management
I'll directly compare it to old blizzard
you had blizzard's main site, the armory for checking characters
So say I buy this what I just posted
and then the store for buying stuff
What am I buying then?
The EU version? US version? A code for the EU? A code for the US? or something global?
thats based on what you clicked
your screenshot was lacking a few details so I can't tell for sure
Not sure if this is intentional or not, but you can get to Ul'dah for free from Gridania/ Limsa Lominsa by going to the Golden Saucer by Airship then going to Ul'dah by Airship from there
What kind of details do you need because I sent what I found XD
To get a blue spell guaranteed, it needs to be synced, but does everyone need to be blue mage?
Ok I found out
This is the EU store
But its still not clear on if I could buy it there for the US
I don't think it can
It would be an EU copy so thats a no.
Having a full synced party of BLU without the spell you're farming for is the best chance to earn the spell (99.99%) @night pecan However the whole party does not need to be BLU to farm a spell.
Also, do the medals need to buy a Yo-kai minion increase with each subsequent purchase of a Yo-kai?
Only after the first one. All subsequent ones will cost 3 medallions
5 for your first, 10 for all subsequent
Ok, thanks
There's an infographic pinned in this channel with the details.
how in the world are u supposed to do this new event? fates are completed before i can manage to get there. dont have flying xD
Go do your MSQ and come back to do the event later
It'll be active for almost 3 months long
so best to just forget about it till i got flying?
Yup
alright

I have gotten a medal for a few even though I got to the area of the Fate when it was above 50% completed, so as long as you don't sit on your thumbs when you do a Fate, you should be ok.
its more getting to it before its done. i have to ride my little bird where otherrs fly.
Still not worth wasting your time on if you dont have flying.

Is there any way to make quests icons always appear on the map? (Especially icons for NPCs that start a quest)
I dont follow what you mean
Only if you're in the zone where the quest giver exists.
That should be the default state
On my map, I don't see any icon for any quest unless I click on the quest in my duty list or in the recommendation thing
Then it shows that specific icon and no other
(yes, in my current zone)
Can you screenshot your map in a zone where you haven't clicked on a quest?
So we can see what you're seeing?
Because Balmerick is correct - quest icons should always appear on your map as the default.
Gonna take a stab in the dark here
He's probably using region map
instead of the zone map
Maybe
I would like to know how I can unlock E5S to E8S in duty finder
I see them on the minimap in the top-right, but that one is way too small, I always use the one on the left.
(and icons showed on the one on the left a bit ago, now they don't)
what the hell
finish E5-E8
@zinc lichen Complete E5-8 normal.
If I wanna upgrade from neo ish to crystarium, should I get body first?
(The one icon I see is the one I clicked on in the recommendation thing)
you'll find a quest to unlock savage in mord souq afterwards
@open coral I did, they all got a check on the duty
E5S-E8S will then be available in the "High-End Duties" tab once you've spoken to the NPC in Mord Souq that sleepysky mentioned.
have you checked the high-end duty section
they're still the newest 8-man savages so they appear there and not in regular duty finder
@silver dome Okay open the map normally by pressing M instead of clicking on reccomendation
or whatever the controller equiv is
Square
anyone know if the yokai pets can be used in lords of vermilion
Uh, it worked. So I guess after I press once on any quest, I need to press M twice again to re-open the map with all icons.
Thank you
Can I end my subscription and restart it on my same account so that I can get another free trial?
If you open the map via clicking on an objective, it only shows you that objective.
@honest summit No
Oof
once you upgrade there's no going back to free trial
I never upgraded lol
Hi! Is there a set of gear for crafters at lvl 63 that you can get without Gil? Like the equivalent of white or yellow scripts for gatherers?
I have the online starter edition
Once you subscribe you can't go back to trial.
That's still purchasing the game
I've been playing the free trial for the last month and it is SICK. You get all content up to stormblood for free forever!
If you have spent any money, your trial is over.
yellow scrip gear is sold in cities
I havent
it's either level 61 or 65 i forgot
@leaden ginkgo Well I've E1-8 check in the duty but i didn't do E1-4S, could it be that that the npc isn't showing ?
I thought your trial only lasts a certain amount of days
you don't need to do E1S-E4S
Trial is unlimited duration. But you said you have "starter edition" which is the equivalent of having bought the game.
Nope
Whats so fun about being a tank in the game? It looks boring imo
Trial is forever
Is there any specific etiquette between choosing need, greed and pass? I tried choosing greed and one of the random party member get mad at me, I feel bad so I always pass after that
Until you buy a sub
X:26.8 Y:16.4 is where the quest should be
@leaden ginkgo thanks! Any city?
Ok thats weird cause mine says 15 days left even though I never bought anything
@blazing stirrup No, there's no such thing. You can need on anything you can, greed on anything you want, and pass if you aren't interested.
If someone got mad at you, that's on them.
People get salty for weird shit
Owh lol okay, thanks aura
If someone gets mad at you for Greed rolling tell them to fuck off.
yea, scrip exchange NPCs, they're normally around the marketplace areas
only one i know specific location of is in gridania, tp to leatherworkers guild and go up the market place from there, they should be on the left of the entrance
If someone gets mad at you for Greed rolling, tell them they don't pay your sub
There's some situations where Need rolling on everything isnt okay
Mostly in specific loot rules of Map parties.
^
^
But literally everywhere Greed rolling is the standard
exception is if the PF is listed as FFA, which is free for all so everyone needs there
But in random instance content there's no reason not to Need on everything you're eligible for and Greed on everything else.
Word of warning if you join a PF that says lootmaster, dont join it
does alex savage gear beat aug. shire?
@open coral My subscription says I have 15 days of the free trial even though I never bought anything. Is it supposed to say that?
It's my first Satasha tbh so I dunno about that specific loot thing... but I guess it's probably not that, right?
@leaden ginkgo thanks!
With erozea time zone at what time irl would it be 1am?
by like 5 ilvls, not worth it compared to going through SB dungeons iirc
Alex Savage gear is equivalent to Aug Shire, except the weapon which is 5 iLv higher
@honest summit Didn't you say you had the Starter Edition? Not the trial?
Those are two different things.
exp from food only affect mob kill exp?
Aug Shire and Creator Savage are both 270. Creator weapon is 275 though
I don't greed on anything. And unless its an upgrade or a glam, I don't need on anything either
Yea only mob kills
Well, that's a poor decision on your part
Can turn the gear in for GC seals or desynth for crafting materials you can sell
Starter Edition comes with a certain amount of free game time. Trial is unlimited play time but limited by accessible content, gil cap, and almost all social content.
@honest summit Didn't you say you had the Starter Edition? Not the trial?
@open coral Yeah I have the online starter edition that was free in playstation store months ago but it still says I have 15 days left.
yeah it still counts as if you bought the game then i think
Once again, thank you everyone 
That counts as owning the game yeah
Yes, you "effectively" bought the game, even though it was free
since it technically is a paid version even if you got it for free as an offer
Meaning you can't go back to free trial ever
@honest summit yea thats the starter edition, not the trial. After 30 days u gotta pay sub
@honest summit Yeah, the starter edition counts as a "purchase" from the game's standpoint. You were given a certain amount of free sub time, but it's not the same as having been on the trial.
Ok that nakes sense👍
if you made an entirely new square enix account you could do the free trial there
better to do so considering free trial is upgraded and includes HW, so you could take your time going through the game
Whats so fun about tanking in ff14
being in charge
You already indicated that you dont like it, so why are you asking?
BTW, for Yo-Kai Watch, do the zone numbers for the weapons mean anything (for example, for the Ninja weapon, you need have Kyubi summoned and the zones are zone 1 for Western Thanalan, zone 2 for Central Shroud, and zone 3 for Lower La Noscea), like, would you have a higher chance of getting a legendary metal in zone 1 over zone 3?
I ignored you last time because i assumed it was a troll.
Does anyone know how to get the ghost mount after getting all 17 summons? It isn't showing up in my mount guide
I never indicated at all
i solely play tank so i can pull bosses instead of waiting for that last member in alliance C to walk all the way from spawn after they died and declined the res
Whats so fun about being a tank in the game? It looks boring imo
@vague narwhal
Seems like you have an opinion already.
I mean tanking at it's core is the same as it is in any game ever
Controlling thr fight
Some people enjoy tanking. Some people enjoy healing. Some enjoy just being dps.
Your negative input is greatly appreciated and noted
If u don't like it
@leaden ginkgo Well I'm gonna re-do E5-8 so 🙂
It's not the class for u
"Fun" is relative.
Role I should say
When you buy the game do you continue where you left off on the free trail?
@compact arrow Yes
you continue with your current character
Like, do you enjoy tanking in any other game?
ah okay tysm
I was wondering cus i come from eso and tank was boring as shit
have you also finished the eden quests as well? cutscenes and all
Okay so you dislike tanking in one game, and you have seen tanking in another and think its boring there too.
tanking in this game is just being a dps but sometimes using defensive abilities and keeping aggro
Why would i attempt to convince you otherwise?
Is it unwise to spend my silver chocobo feathers on lvl 50 gear? or should i save them for something more important?
@vague narwhal "Fun" is a relative measure. What some people find "fun" you may not. Basically, you have to decide for yourself whether you think tanking is fun or not.
@high sapphire you can use poetics to buy ironworks
^
question for those actually familiar with yokai watch itself -- are these weapons directly from yokai watch almost exactly how they are or are they just loosely based on themes of things from yokai watch? aka how many steps removed are they from the source material so that by using it am i basically cosplaying or nah
Sound good? Ok
Idk, I just find it weird to ask about a role in general for an rpg unless you're entirely new to rpgs
anyways
@unique oasis They're based on the Yokai, but they don't exist in the games.
@remote lintel I have no idea what any of those words mean hahaha
Not my problem you dont like the answer.
If you dont like tanks, dont play tanks. Seems pretty straightforward.
@high sapphire poetics are special currency you get at lvl 50 from doing lvl 50 content, ironworks is the old ARR endgame gear which is really strong for its level
You have to explain what you liked or didn't like about tanking
@open coral i was only curious if being a tank has more interaction in this game
@simple shore dont care
@vague narwhal Having never played ESO, I have no basis for comparison, so I can't answer that question for you.
Because tank has always simply been about controlling the flow of the fight and it isn't any different in any other game
@remote lintel so basically dont use my silver feathers for it and farm poetics instead?
@vague narwhal the point is you don't get the complete picture until you try, pretty much
fair enough
If I can solo the first Alexander raid whats the likelyhood I could solo the rest of the Alex raid? Doing my Relic wep atm and need Alex mats for handin
@high sapphire yes, but you don't need to put off MSQ jsut to get a full set of ironworks
@regal heath Normal, you can solo most of Alexander unsynced. Some of the fights truly require more than one person though, even unsync.
also how come i havent gotten the grand company quest? Was i supposed to look for it? I thought i would be given it automatically
@remote lintel ironworks gear is level 70 too right?
@vague narwhal What level is your MSQ right now?
@high sapphire no, the lvl 70 endgame gear is called scaevan
lvl 20 msq pinky
Not what level you are, but your MSQ level. Those can be two very different numbers.
@remote lintel what are silver feathers good for then?
@open coral Thanks, do you know which one specifically requires more? Im hoping to unsyc as much as I can to get the 30 runs done
BTW, speaking of Silver Feathers, when I was still unsure which race I wanted to play as, on one of them I got Silver Feathers even though I was a trial and just started, but on others (including my current one) I got no Silver Feathers.
hmm i have to check but isnt it relative regardless?
@vague narwhal I find tanking fun cause I like having big sword, but fun is ultimately subjective
I did the level 20 dungeon introduced in the msq
@regal heath I know for a fact that A12 requires at least a tank, a healer, and a dps. I don't recall others specifically.
@high sapphire you can look at what the calamity salvager has
i dont remember what he has
@vague narwhal It's not relative. The levels are absolute within the MSQ and distinct from your own character level.
You can literally be 30 levels ahead of your MSQ
oh ok then i have to look
Well msq is 90% of what ive been doing since i started the game tbh
Honestly its more JRPG then MMO
The GC selection happens shortly after you defeat ||Ifrit|| in the MSQ
Oh i havent met ifrit
(also be sure to do your main's class quests as well, as some abilities are tied to completing quests)
Might be overlevelled cause they added exp to all the MSQ recently
And if you're on a preferred server, that's even more exp
JRPG with some online aspects
Usually if people say, you have to be level X to unlock this, it means MSQ level
