How do you get Collectables? I don't see any command for it for anything.
can anyone ID this dance? idk how to capture it in gif so just took a few screemshots.
where do you get the yokai mount for getting all the minions
achievement vendor
looks like bomb dance
gridania, apkallu falls
Jonahas at old gridina
Could also be the Far Eastern Dance
Either way, the dance is available on the Mogstation
yeah far eastern looks like it 🤔
Its far eastern
not bomb dance
where in the achievement exchange?
Old gridina
for the yokai mount
Its marked on the map
Did someone post the thing about a macro to sync for fates?
I would love to have that keybound.
Achievemebt exchange
i mean which part
i dont see a yokai mount reward
Thank you Vinyl Tails.
ah thanks
Yeah, I don't understand how to fish for Collectibles. Looking online just had people telling me to turn on the Collect skill, which doesn't exist in my Actions.
You need to do the inscrutable tastes in ishgard to unlock collectors glove

Just how crazy is hp at 80? i equipped 3 shire gear and my hp doubled o.O
usually 100k+
best way to level 30-50 outside of msq? should i be fate'ing? questing? obviously duty finder whenever i can
around 120k for dps and 180k for tanks
where was the yokai mount again, new gridi?
TFW you arrive at a fate just in time for it to complete and you don't get anything. 
Tanks are at 180k with bis and party bonus
Average HP in solo content will be between 80k and 100k, depending on class.
War can hit 210k with thrill
@weary burrow old gridania
nice
help please i need to do "Crystal Tower" quests to advance the msq but when I go to the npc it says I need to abandon the current quest
then abandon it
1.) Is your quest log full?
2.) Did you accept the quest before 5.3 came out? If so, you may need to abandon and reaccept it as the quest parameters may have changed.
doesnt say what quest though
msq most likely
I didnt accept the msq
It means the quest you're attempting to do
Something about it has changed
Just abandon it and reaccept
but I havent accepted a quest
Then your quest log may be full
its not
¯_(ツ)_/¯
screenshot your journal
Uwah. Again. Can't get to fates before they are beat.
where do i check the medallium for yokai?
duty > collectibles or something
Yes
So I own ffxiv/shadow bringers on ps4, but now I'm wanting to play on pc
what would be the best way to go about that?
Gotta buy it all again
kk
Get complete edition
can use the same account
All in 1 package
can I play all classes to 60 on free trial version?
and play the same character
Majority but not all
all classes available to vanilla right?
yes
And heavensward
also you can't use your existing account to play the free trial on PC
HW is part of the trial?
yes
Yee
oh wow
And starter
It is as of 5.3
I haven't played for ages, so I don't think I would mind playing from the beginning again
I heard the pacing has been fixed to a degree as well
It's been significantly fixed through ARR
can i use two types of tea at the same time?
Improved xp, some quests removed or steps removed to make them less back-and-forth.
No
the best way to lvl up sub jobs is still that PoE(i think that's what it was called?)
!faq altlvlguide
potd is opened entirely for free trial now too
Yeah with the hw addition the whole thing is open now
there are about 40 MSQ removed between the ARR and 2.1-2.55 stories
depending on which city you start in
still a good 15 hour slog between ARR and HW tho lol
^which city would you recommend for shortest path?
i started in limsa as arcanist, not sure if that made it longer or shorter tho :p
what's the fastest way to level btn/min while in party? (aka without leves or diadem)
what is the diff between aerial and terrestrial mounts?
is the way to do the event just wait at the same fate spawn? cant seem to get to any in time otherwise
There's no difference, all mounts fly
there used to be a difference when some couldnt fly but ye
no, misspicks. the way is to join a party thru PF in your area, after every fate is killed/done, move to the center of the zone so that you can get to the next spawning one relatively quick
utilize teleports, abbreviate everyone elses name, have a good load time, not much else you can do
general rule of thumb >should< be that if multiple fates are up, go to the ones with the least amount of time remaining first and work around...but people split when there's so many etcetc
will materia melds affect Shiva Unreal? idk how the sync worlks
it seems too difficult without a mount
you should have a mount and flying unlocked to be the most efficient
another sos ex incident, is this how tethers work
There are 3 sets from hall of nove right ? Tank / heal and dps right ?
Correct
@magic light looks like you got hit by an aoe from the boss, not the tethers
How does that work with BLm ?
Magic dps and healer share sets, I think
Crap
The gear gives both mind and int
Healer only one i didnt do yet xD
i'm more curious on why didn't the tether pass onto the healer
because servers
sometimes it takes a while for the game to recognize the tethers
have them move slower
oh my god
Is there a list of things to unlock dragoon class? I was helping my friend who's new to the game and has Lv30 Lancer, 15 Maurder.
Not sure if it changed
it changed
Oh
do lvl 20 msq "sylph management" and all class quests
All class quests?
all lancer class quests
Okay so apparently he has already done all the Lancer job class.
Unless he does the MSQ "Sylph Management", it won't show up for him
Let me check with him
hey, I was wondering how to know what blue quests am I missing ? at every patch I just look at the patch not and look for the new content quests (trials, raids, dungeons, tribes etc.) but is there any in-game menu that shows every blue(content) quests I am missing, or how to know if there are some of them to take ? (except by just going to every area and look on the map)
If he does there should be a quest name just under it that contains all the class quests
@pallid junco may I ask where is your profile pic come from 😮 ?
oh ok ty
Mobile game
yeah I saw a lot of ads lol
Confused about auto attack, do I need to stand still to trigger auto attacks or does it just automatically activate even while moving? I'm playing as an AST
@leaden ginkgo theres no in game way to know
i think you have to be in melee range to auto attack
@leaden ginkgo theres no in game way to know
@remote lintel looking at the patchnote is not so annoying, actually is a pretty clear way to look for new quests
hmm okl
but what if I stop playing for 1 year lol ?
already stopped for 3 patches, was a pain to get every quests
!faq contentunlock
wow didnt know that
You automatically auto attack provided you're in range and not casting anything. Casters/healer autos are negligible @wraith jay
okay thanks 😄
is it possible that the high number of players online on the server makes me lag and dc
this started happening only after 5.3 and at this hour of the day
yeah I also lagged while doing FATEs yesterday
pretty sure if there are 50+ ppol in an area say goodbye to fps
yup but it's making everything unplayable, just dcd at second f14 of ramuh ffs
rip
my net is just fine as always
ripperoni
is there a place im supposed to get my mount from the yokai event? i have all the minions but haven't gotten the first mount.
@deft quiver There's no way to color those particular icons, but you might be able to get creative by using different icons instead
if its too inconvenient for you to have them all be the same basic appearance
can use the job stones as icons
can you just not see quests in a zone unless you're in that zone?
Or job abilities. For the longest time i used job abilities as my gearset macro icons
i dont mind them being white/grey, just thought them being their respective colors would look better
no big deal tho
thanks
@proven sparrow no you cant
what the fuck
You cant see anything "live" in a zone unless you're in it
It has to do with zones each being their own instance.
Quest markers, fates, etc.
Rather than a persistent world
fates i understand, i don't think there's a good excuse for not showing me my quests available
so frustrating trying to collect quests on alts have to taxi to each zone then look around
hey guys so umm I just started the free trial , but dont know what server to enter to , anyone have suggestions?
im in crystal datacenter

Is summoner a good class? If so what goddess should i follow?
Well, if you havent picked a server yet, you're not really "in a datacenter" yet
meant to say world sorry
any
I'm on the character selection screen
Pick a starred one if possible
Selection, or Creation
Otherwise doesn't matter
So, in the lead up to patch 5.3 I swore I saw an iron frog mount that you could ride in...
crrystal is the only star I see
Was that just the tank, or is there actually one you can ride in?
Crystal is a datacenter, not a server.
yes but its the only place where I saw a star
or world, if you want to use the correct term
The ironfrog you just ride ontop
Aether should also have a starred world currently
on the world selection , none have a star
!preferred Aether
!preferred crystal
those
hi,when joining an fc do you need to be in the same world or can you do everything crossworld?
same world
I played on Coeurl once upon a time. Back when it was on Aether.
are prefferes servers populated ? cause currently I dont have anyone to play with
all worlds are populated
@remote lintel right,thanks!
Seb nearly everything in the game is done datacenter-wide
You dont need to worry about 'bad population' like you do in other MMO's
individual world population doesnt matter since 1. you can world visit and 2. matchmaking is across the whole DC
oh I understand , thanks bal and cerberus
the star is on world selection after character creation
I see , thats why ,I havnt created a character
check this for population if you wish https://ffxivcensus.com/
thanks a lot kael
I would not recommend ffxiv census
especially for active count as its measurement for activity cuts out pretty much anyone on trial or starter edition
Hey guys. I'm level 35 and have only been running the MSQ. I don't mind the more singleplayer-like aspects, but will there be more multiplayer aspects of the game anytime soon? Like more dungeons or any other types of coop quests?
Census data can be useful for constructing stuff like raid clear rates, etc. - but its fairly useless for measuring overall activity.
@vagrant laurel the msq requires you to do dungeons and trials and other things like raids are unlocked via side quests
Sweet. Thanks y'all
is there no recipes in this catergory? just got all the Demimateria recipe books and noticed there is none for the culinarian class
Cause Culinarian cant makr prisms
I just started playing the game, cant get summoner though. Anyone know whats happening?
start as arcanist
Its arcanist
was that something they could do before?
cul also doesn't have any demimateria recipes
Arcanist at lv30 turns into summoner and scholar both
I mean, when you think about it
no, cul pretty much has had nothing in that category
Ohh then thank you
It would be pretty hard to explain how you fry up a set of eggs just right and then it turns into a prism
lol
odd that there is one section there 🤔
🤷♀️ easier to keep it there than to remove it for one class
Whats the best magic class in ur opinion guys? Or should i stick to a archer?
Game balance is very well done in FF14 compared to other mmo's
Hmm ok
So you should ask us which one we think you'd prefer based on what your playstyle is
rather than 'which one is best'
tbh
or watch the video in the pins
what does PST mean when in this
Whisper
"Please Send Tell"
ic ty
i.e. direct message them
Any reccomendations? Im new to this game. Also ig my playstyle is like not too close ig
Have you played other MMO's?
look at the classes and pick one that looks cool
or other third person RPG's?
Maybe if you gave us an idea of something else that you played that you enjoyed, it would help
Not rly
you should still watch the video in the pins
Ok
Where is #housing subreddit or pinned message?
it had full details of housing prices, etrc
!faq housing
where can i find lvl 58 enemies, im solo leveling my blu mage and cant seem to find any, im getting a lot of 57 and 59 but not 58
Azys Lla probably
@woven night i grinded the bifercas outside of gubal library to 60 at that level window, but those are 59 i believe.
err
bifericeras
I did the last several levels in the south-east corner of Azys, killing imperial soldiers
im using missile to kill as fast as i can
but it wont work on lvl 59
and 57 give less xp cause its 1 lvl under me
Just use northerlies or electrogenesis or such.
on the square store I see the complete edition at 50%off but when I select it, it goes back to full price?
the sale is gone
sale ended yesterday
ahh ok, so the website just hasn't been updated yet
gotcha
I'll wait till the next sale comes around I guess
whats blue mages best dps spell?
How many crafters/gatherers do i need for beast tribe quests?
sure
would it be easier with all of my doh/ls leveled tho
So, how do I get to Ok' Vundu Mok. I can't find a way there in the Sea of Clouds.
do sales happen regularly?
So I think I might've tossed out the YoKai medalium key item at some point. I have the watch back but how do I get the medalium again?
or was the one that finished yesterday kind of a unique thing
square store goes on sale pretty regularish
doesn't really matter, Wol. the beast tribe dailies are generally very easy to complete
kk
Is it possible to put retainer outside of home in Medium/Small house?
or only large?
yeah you can put retainers outside of any size house
just need the extension of duties permit
@jovial verge The medallium is under the collections tab now
so how many content Heavensward have?
and there is people doing stuff in it?
cause i want to f2p
@raven sage So it is! Thank you
you'll just play some story mode, but you wont farm any "endgame" content since endgame content is shadowbringers
yeah but it works like wow?
in that level you still have the raids
you can still enjoy the game through the story and leveling your classes
even if expansion goes on
yeah but they're old and nobody does them properly
cause you acces the xpac
you're talking about wow
imagine tagging for burning crusade random dungeon
while last patch is out
same story
Dungeons, Void Ark and Alexander Normal are in roulettes, so you can still do them all with randos.
people still can do it, but the majority is playing end levels
i have played pservers not the original timeline
ah fine
strange so no one twink?
no, FFXIV level syncs everybody
Twinking something unique to WoW
ah thanks for the clarification
The closest equivalent in FF14 is Blue mage, tbh
There will likely be some trial players doing HW when they get stuck there, assuming they don't quit playing when they do. But I don't think it'll be any easier to find groups for HW endgame stuff.
i guess i need to wait few years when i get my own job or when ""tokens"" are put in the game
I doubt there will ever be tokens
Also you can buy the best HW gear immediately and easily without doing the raids. So anyone trying to raid at 60 will be doing it for fun and other rewards.
So, every expansion basically works the same
12 normal mode bosses (split into 3 groups of 4)
Well im playing arcanist for now. Seems pretry fun
12 savage mode versions of those bosses
Also trying to organize it between trial players and the trial limitations will be difficult with not being able to send tells, start parties, etc.
and then 3 24 man raids (this is the more casual content)
thats what roulette matchmaking is for
Ah FeelsBadMan
but no, nobody is running HW savage content
Savage basically is equivalent of Mythic more or less
then there's Ultimate, which is harder than Mythic
interesting
but as Aril'thae sayed is going to be really hard
to communicate whith others f2p players
Well yeah if you only want to play trial than trying to do "hard content" is going to be tough for you
But
you could still do BLU stuff
People actively do Blue Mage raids
if i can ask what is BLUE?
Hi im trying to do the levequests for botanist, Im looking at guides but the only place that I can find any information about unlocking them is saying they're automatically unlocked, Cool right? so I go to the respective DoL T'kommori levequests for the intial ones and she tells me im green
Blue Mage is a "limited job", basically its capped at level 60 and it learns its abilities by learning them from killing enemies (this is super simplifying it)
I have no idea where to go to actually find how to start levequests
Sounds like you need to do the initial unlock quest for leves which is at the adventurer's guild in your starting city @sharp vault
there's alot of achievements around completing certain content with a group only consisting of blue mages
Thankyou,
I think for a trial player
BLU achievements are probably the best "endgame" there is, yes
if you just dont intend on buying the game
Should i join a specific world
is the sub that fucks me hard but i know already why is there
but i guess is still good for trying the game as well
but yeah thanks for the info gl and hf bois
how do you open party finder?
@leaden ginkgo actually one last thing, there's one other "endgame" for you
i forgot to mention it because 5.3 unlocked it for trial
what it is?
Palace of the Dead is a "Deep Dungeon" (if you've been following Shadowlands for WoW - think of it as Torghast but less pretty)
yeah i heard about it
You can go to floor 200 solo
but never really look upn it
its a pretty good achievement and mark of someone being good (and a bit lucky)
How difficult is tanking?
So that's another good thing to shoot for if you're "trial only"
not difficult
tanking is being a dps but using defensive cooldowns
Tanked as Paladin in WoW for ages, but it was mostly mash buttons and not a real rotation, and then defensives
Hey all Hello could someone help me ? currently i have a lot of Materia of STAT like Dexterity , Strenght ETC are they use for something anymore ? because for some reason they are missing they stats... , and if so what can do with them ? ?? Could someone help me please ?
Tanking is definitely not hard, but you also have a pretty hard rotation
hard as in
set in stone, not difficult
you can either toss them or transmute them at the bonfire to get useful materia to sell. Main stat materia was removed from the game because it wasn't useful barring str on tanks and vit. @runic narwhal
Aha
you can either toss them or transmute them at the bonfire to get useful materia to sell. Main stat materia was removed from the game because it wasn't useful barring str on tanks and vit. @runic narwhal
@twilit arch what Patch were they Remove ???
Hi guys I played a few months ago and did the 2.0 story up until 2.1 then i quit. now that the story has been reduced does it make sesne to make a new character and get the boost to 70 again and start over or should i just keep going on my old guy thanks
Worried about trying to learn dungeons as an new tank/player
4.0 i think
most people don't mind having a new tank if you tell them beforehand
Dungeons are petty piss easy tbh
Thank you.
"You can collect multiple Atma of the same kind; however only one of each type is used per weapon upgrade."
Is this still true?
early dungeons are very easy, just turn on your tank stance and you'll be fine
yes
everything is casual until you reach savage/extreme fights after the msq
yes, @gritty oracle so long as you've got a zenith equipped you can get as many atmas as you want
Well if you are too worried, you can do the tank challenge
You can speak to one of the npc in limsa i think
role specific challenges
with a few exceptions its mostly "pull stuff until you cant go any further (or its too much) -> spam AoE's and rotate your cooldowns until it all dies"
to think again I haven't done my tank challenge pass lv 25 -_-
Ahh cool
i kinda miss having to fight over enmity with top tier dps
Is there a thing on how each class is to play? Paladin is my go-to usually but theres a lot of cool jobs
But it is what it is
Kind of, but given that we have some WoW vets here, myself included
I think i last tried tanking there was enmity
Tell me what you like about tanks in WoW
and i will tell you the best tank to match you for FF14
I hated Rage as a mechanic in WoW for tanking with
Played Prot Pally for many years, it was sort of easy and self-sufficient
If you want to frontload your stuff, do Dark Knight or Gunbreaker imo
Okay, so, every tank has something like that, but unlike WoW Warrior, they use that 'equivalent" for only some abilities
eh, aren't paladin and warrior in wow just button smashing class?
no need for combo etc
i remember making them macros, lol
as it is very heavy on resource management
Paladin doesnt have much resource management early on, but later on they have a "casting cycle" and a "melee cycle"
so they start having to care about their mana a little bit (but only if you do it wrong tbh)
Gunbreaker is frequently compared to playing a DPS. I think its feel is similar to WW Monk in WoW in terms of the actual button cycle (not the theme or appearance)
enmity still exists
its just super fucking easy for tanks to grab and keep
Ah it was like that in WoW for ages, then they tried to bring it back there i think
and then Warrior is sort of the.....very straightforward tank. if you want "me like big numbers on screen" + "dont have to manage much of anything" WAR is for you.
WAR is also the self healing champ
it's still there, it's just not difficult to maintain at all like it use to be, so because tanks were always less played than other roles they made it easier
Ahh
does anyone have images fo what the new gear set looks like for puppet bunker?
I see, that makes sense, tanks are hard to get people to play
So PLD and WAR have that little gauge thats basically rage? Fill it up and use cool stuff, Gunbreaker seems similar to Holy Power in WoW
you can google puppets bunker gear and see most of them
I did I keep getting guides
It gains from autoattacks only, and the only real thing to use it on is a defensive cooldown on yourself or someone else.
try google image 🙂
google image has the low quality stream one
WAR gauge is built based on completing combos, and its spent on hard hitting attacks
DRK gauge is the same as WAR more or less, but DRK has to manage MP also
I want to see how they look on models
GNB gauge is indeed similar to Holy Power on WoW PLD
well, the bunker is only two weeks old, so with everybody being locked to one piece a week, you won't see any sets for a few more
guys question-
i'm in phoenix server and um
i'm about to buy a Plot 38 shirogane house for 40Mill (20m to player, 20m to game)
do u think its worth it
I mean, that's about the standard secondary market price
Yes, and that doesnt change my statement.
it's worth it if you really wnat a house
Ahh, hmm
but they announced they're adding more plots
If you want a house, then you pay the price
or you wait for autodestruct to come back
which probably wont happen until 2021 at this rate
auto destruct xDDD
Tough choice, but anything other than DRK it seems lol
they're adding additional plots before next major patch
@thick bolt plots or wards :o
Do you think 'subdivision' is a deal turn off xD?
Houses are cool, i wish they were just a thing everyone got
sorry wards
but in that twitter post @thick bolt they only said 'we'll add more housing plot'
maybe they meant ward idk
Houses are cool, i wish they were just a thing everyone got
@tall coral ikr

Just spent all mytomestones on DRG gear to quest with, but my Gladiator is apparently 23
that would be nice, but they wanted that neighborhood/community thing rather than just throw everybody into their own instance
can you change hairstyle later on?
not if you're hrothgar, but yes
Speaking of housing, what all does an apartment let you do? just decorate the inside?
yep
It also gives you access to stables outside and the ability to teleport to the aetherite
basically same thing as an FC apartment, but it won't get destroyed if you decide to leave the FC
Ah, ill have to look more into it, the inn room is pretty boring :p
how much do they cost?
500k i think
yep
something to save up for
If I hand this in with 990/990 rep points and 1 unhanded Dwarf quest, will I get an extra 3 if I hand in the quest I accepted pre-rank 7?
Wrong screenshot but ye know what I meant
Epic, cheers
hey guys for summoner, is the level 70 rotation just the same as 80 except just using firebird instead of dreadwyrm actions?
Yes
oh I see! I can start learning rotations then 😄
it has rotations for every lvl range
Guys, do I lose my weekly chest for e5s and e6s if I join a e7s practice party before doing the reclears?
if you clear e7s, yes
actually no
you lose it upon entering
so if you want to get chests from 5/6 you should do those first
is shout or yell the mapwide
shout
What do you do for alt class gear? I miss heirlooms :p
how do i get ala mhigan weaves?
Stormblood treasure maps I believe
how do you gear them you mean? current Expert dungeons, 24-man raid or leftover tomes
i assume he means leveling
Stormblood treasure maps I believe
@strange coral thanks
and not...end-game gearing
Yeah, for levelling
marketboard, poetics and dungeon drops
Um..
The last time FFXIV added 'wards' how many wards did they add in a go?
i feel like if they add ward, it'll all be gone in 1 second
they added 3 wards last time iirc
when was last time :o
couple years?
Tank levelling is apparently just spam dungeons? Have a 60 DRG from Heavensward but havent bought Shadowbringers yet
do roulettes and spam highest dungeon, yep
endgame ARR/HW raids?
o_o
I don't think such things exists
just need to do them to continue MSQ
is there any way now to see what crafting collectables from menu instead of having to go to eulmore/scrips collector everytime?
Coil and Alexander are completely optional, people run them for fun and glam these days, thats about it
@dusk zenith the list doesn’t change anymore
So all the collectables can be traded in
how often does the game go on sale
on steam, it might be on sale for black friday or christmas, no idea on squenix side
ah, im playing it through their offical site so i cant get it through steam
Personally I did Rarefied Lignum Vitae Girding Wheel for white scrip because I could gather everything myself without vendors or timed nodes.
What ways to get metallic brass dye and how much do they cost to get
I wanna say mogstation
all levelling is spamming highest level dungeon for the most part
Metallic Brass Dye comes from firmanent. Costs 500 skybuilder's scrip. Can also be found on the marketboard.
and iirc metallic brass is exchanged in the ishgardian resto yeah that
ah i knew it was one of those just not 100%
if you're buying from marketboard prices can vary from server to server
is there a desynth leveling guide?
Not really, easiest way to level desynth is to desynth the highest level items you can
I have looked at all the mbs on the server I play on and it's expensive and I have no idea how to get skybuilder scrips
You have to have a crafter or gatherer class and participate in the Ishgard Restoration/Firmament
I forget the exact level requirement, but you can start pretty low.
I think someone said 20 or 30 before?
You need a lv 60 job to unlock the restoration and have completed the main scenario quest "Litany of peace"
but once you've unlocked it you can start it as a lvl 10 gatherer or lvl 20 crafter
I have a crafter at lvl 23
Gatherers join an instance called diadem and gather mats. Approving them at an npc rewards scrip and usable mats. Crafters use those mats to make collectibles which can be turned in for scrip and kupo cards (lottery for random stuff).
I think speed running soloing dungeons might be a good way to get random junk to desynth
well, cheap way anyway; if you're willing to spend money there's lots of other options
Hey guys, I recently came back, haven't played since heavensward launched.
I want to do and experience every content that I missed (or at least unlock it)
Is there a milestone guide for returning players or something like that? Reading every single patch notes would be really tedious
does anyone have the trial client downladed? I need a favor
not me, sorry. i DO have a question though
(and i actually have to look into whether Finatsu's question is a thing. great idea)
bit of an oddball here: in order to make the main/side quests somewhat challenging for two people, couldn't i just hold back on upgrading armor/weapons a bit, updating only when i start getting swatted like a fly? thus encouraging a little more... cooperation between Healer and DPS 😈
or does leveling up boost your character's stats like crazy? meaning gear won't matter if you overlevel
Unless you plan on always using preformed 4 (or 8) player parties, please gear up 🙂
does anyone have the trial client downladed? I need a favor
@leaden ginkgo yep
yep
@graceful peak
can I pm you?
@graceful peak
can I pm you?
@leaden ginkgo sure
Gear is mostr your stats,levelling doesn't give much stats itself @marsh mountain
Just do savage/ultimate raids if you want challenge
@elfin edge strictly a thing between us two. don't worry lol
will always keep up to date gear on hand
Totally not a naughty thing huh
Hi all, I need assistance with my Culinarian macro. The macro stops functioning when it gets to a line with a skill that has multiple words.
./ac “Preparatory Touch” <wait.3> is an example of the line
minus the "."
You NEED the quotation marks
For multiple words
Or just put in skill names via auto translate, much easier and quicker
Make sure its the right quote marks also
You MUST type it like
/ac "Skill name" <wait.whatever>
Quotation marks aren't optional
Or again, put the skill in via auto translate
sticking just to raids for challenge would unfortunately leave a lot of the overworld content... not as engaging unfortunately. and that would be a big part of the game for the person i am playing with
Well overworld isnt challenging at all
overworld content is pretty boring tbh
Unless you're trying to solo Hunt mobs at level
the normal mobs with HW starts getting annoying
lots of HP etc. so it's just a grind and not really challenging per se
yeah i have an idea. played up to level 30 a few years ago
Why is all Sky Rat Gear so cheap on the MB? 35k items go for under 1k max
Ishgard restoration hands them out like candy compared to crafting them the hard way or going to old diadem for brass spoil
(No, cant do old diadem anymore)
are there higher ranks available in GCs than captain?
What’s the difference between Eikons and Primals?
so I am hitting it tomorrow...
Do Pineapples do anything Exp-wise for Chocobos other than change it’s color? I have some left over and wonder if I can use it as training food
needa: Difference in terminology although primal explicitly implies summoned creature to fight in place of a person or population
Equip the watch and get gold/silver rank
noob question but how do i get on my friends 2 person mount?
If having trouble getting goldfir yokai, greedy tank, join a party or just wait a week for the fate grind mobs to burn out
could it be because their visiting my server? don't see that option
how much scrips do you get from the last crystaline mean quests if you ace them?
nvm just buggy
Do you have a 2 seater mount

Need to be in party and mount needs a free spot. Right click or square button/context menu for ride pavilion
If Im in Limsa Lominsa how do I go about getting the Mining Job or getting Ore for DoH stuff? (Im brand new to FFXIV and on Trial Version for now)
Need access to uldah to unlock mining job and gridania for botany
Do main story till you can get to Ul'dah and then go to the miner guild there
So a bit more msq
So if I want to do some of the crafting things for blacksmith is it worth waiting until I get Uldah or should I just buy Iron Ore? Cause Iron is kinda expensive
You can buy iron ore from the vendor
Well that's probably where it's expensive for you
Uhh
Just wait tbh
Google the specific ore you’re looking for on the FF14 wiki, and it will tell you where you can mine or buy it. For example, Iron ore, copper ore, etc are found at the Blacksmith guild in Limsa
Is "Black Mage" referring to Thaumaturge?
Yeah, thats where I mean. I only have 4k gil so I dont want to spend it all on crafting just yet
Unless I can sell some of the bronze crafted Items I made
whats a job that feels really fluid?
Yea, thaumatugre turns into black mage
Sweez: black mage is the upgraded form with job crystal
Job crystal?
Thanks guys
Soul crystal
np!
You get it with lv 30 class quest
You get it from the job unlock quest and when you equip it you become a black mage and get access to black mage actions
(Usually the first legit solo challenge in the game since equipment might be less than optimal)
On top of your thaumaturge actions
(also not really remotely hard since your gear can't really be less than optimal)
Ah ok, thanks 😄
whats a job that feels really fluid?
That's a pretty subjective question. I want to say Samurai feels fluid, Dancer too?
is the complete collectors edition worth it
That's up to you
Anyone with a free trial client to help me?
Most notable items from collector's edition bonuses are the fantasia and mounts
dumb question, how do i get the yokai watch back?
you can get the mounts through gameplay though right, just in different colours
Some
recompense officer in any of the three starting cities @trail prairie
Not all of them
What mounts do you get?
ty
you can get the couerl and the griffin right
You can get a different looking Griffin from Ananta beast tribe...couerl too from the Dark Knight tankless job achievement IIRC but I forget what it looks like exactly
But the Syldra and Grahni mount there are no other versions
hmmm okay thank you
Anyone with a free trial client to help me?
I don't but can probably still help @leaden ginkgo
When can I safely send someone the Tales from the Dragonsong War stories without spoiling them?
Probably after 3.3
The first four can be shown after 3.0
When you finish the dragonsong ear
The bottom four after 3.3
Actually maybe better for 3.4 for the bottom four because ||Alisaie||
oh there was a yokai watch in my armoire lol
Uh so im stuck ... where do i go to continue MSQ after ||i get midgetsormr as mount? theres no icon anywhere||
ah thanks
The main scenario tracker will point you
hey guys, is ACT only usable in borderless windowed mode?
How can I desynthesize Tsukuyomi's weapons for the kimono?
With luck
anyone with standalone free trial client to help me out?
Eden verse savage farm will be available in 5.31 or 5.35?
No just in friends list
5.38 @vocal star
Is there a site like https://xivstyle.com/ but for weapon models/ screenshots?
@faint flare really?, or..
sad 😦
5.38 will be a few weeks prior to 5.4
@keen goblet they also have to be on same server
Savage is not unlocked until a couple weeks before the next tier
@gray sage gamerescape had screenshots of the weapons
Its when weapon upgrades will be added to 24mans as wwll
how and when do you get Drachen Spear for dragoon?
i got (i guess) everything
for lv50 quest
can you delete characters through the website?
there is no drachen spear
Gae bolg is the lvl 50 weapon that pairs with the lvl50 artifact gear, but its a side quest to get it. Unlock quest starts in vesper bay called "weaponsmith of legend", and is the relic quest chain
@wide cave check overlay settings if its not showing visibly
generally not recommended to do the relic quests until you're max level, since they're only really good for glamour at this point
Are game time cards additive e.g. I've got 10 days on my sub left so if I buy one for 60 then I've got 70
what gear do i focus on after and at what level?
you can buy the ironworks set in mor dhona or any of the three starting cities once you've complete the main scenario quest "The ultimate weapon". it'll last you for a fair bit until you start getting better gear from the msq in heavensward
ty
Yes can throw on a time card now and get 70 days. I think 2 cards is the max but dont qupte me on that
so if i equip a new weapon, im basically a new class and im like starting over from the beginning?
Yes
is there a way to tell in-game whether an attack is physical or magical damage? and whether or not things like heart of light will help reduce damage
You swap to that job and you are whatever level that job starts as
ok
@leaden ginkgo if it LOOKS magic, it probably is
Yes unless you have it leveled to share equipment already
ok ty
soo is it possible to have every class on one character
not jobs
but class
right?
all jobs on one character, yes
You can be everything
No you can omni job if you really want (for the amaro mount notably)
Yes that can take a while if dont have road to 70 and xp buff equpment
If its pvp its probably obtained with wolf marks
also does anyone have like a link or something to help me with my kebinds, im currently lvl 32 bard, and i dont like all my skills on number keys cause they are just weird areas to push while pve or pvp
I can't find the free trial client
nvm found it
fuck I can't download both clients at the same time, guys do you know anyone using free trial to help me?
@stone hollow tbh keybinds and game setup is more personal convenience so i think i can't help with that pretty sure there is people here that can
ok well ill just start moving skills around to keybinds and see how i like them then thanks
its only messy cause i dont know what half of those are lol
i told you it'll be messy XD
Anyone play on the Zalera world at all
@vocal star how are there spaces in your hotbar, are those 3 hot bars with nothing in thsoe spaces?
okay I need some help, I'm seeing conflicting info out there about Wind Tea leaves...I know it's an ephemeral node but the wiki says 4 PM and it's 4 PM in game and...nothing just nothing
@stone hollow
ohh thats cool
I just made sure I can hit all keys with my left hand, I have ctrl/shift/alt mapped to my mouse instead since those keys are so annoying to hit
R with no modifiers is auto run that's why there's nothing there lmao
tbh you will pretty much always go insane trying to understand other people's hotbars anyway so best to place stuff where it feels natural to you
aight
What exactly does the exclusive Grand Company gear look like for Tanks? Would anyone have direct links/images to those, please?
anyone playing through free trial message me please I need help
instead of control, i could use shift to access my second hotbar right?
because shift would be easier than control
i dont think shift key does anything?
https://xivstyle.com/ should have them
Yes, you can change them to shift in the keybind settings
shift by default swaps your hotbar to other hotbars
if you have scrollable hotbar 1 turned on
anyone know what materias to slot for the crafter amor

Look in the pins for #doh-dol-lounge
okie tyty
You can grab the role from #612757637813239808
Do you have to dysynth certain weps to get the celestial kimono cloth or does it not matter?
oooh i got it. tyty
The boss coffer can drop the material as an item to roll on
you can check the price things have recently sold for
That’s what people are selling it for, yeah.
but how do you get it :o
oooh you're also the ones who made the pins. thanks for guiding me uwu
Housing kits like that require a lot of raw materials and are made in a free company house’s workshop
rejoice, for i am no longer bound to the restrictions of the free trial
👏
Hey guys, wanted to ask how to honor other players after a dungeon. Cant see the option for that
Which yokai coin holds the SAM weapon
You can only honor non-premade and those still in the dungeon, so be quick
i will next time^^
Ok ty
hey guys , anyone know what "unaspected" damage is?
Whats the use of scathe for BLM ?
damage that has no elemental tie to it, its just flavour @weak canopy
@twilit arch makes sense , thanks!
@limpid lantern basically if you need to move for an extended amount of time and you don’t have any instant cast abilities
Only reason i can see why to use scathe is if canceling a cast to move to a spot to cast it then ? Or am i missing something
Yeah see thats what i figured
No extra use im overseeing ?
Is there any use for this game for damage to be elementally tied or is it flavour?
no its just a movement spell when triplecast and swift are on cd
/you don't have thundercloud/xeno
Only Black Mage actually makes use of the elemental tag for spells for their job gauge
But in terms of enemy resistances, they take all elemental damage equally

question could any mentor do me a solid and add me to the novice network?
Why so angry Wynne?
im in crystal data center , malboro world
shout in limsa, someone should add you
cant shout , I'm a trial pleb
hey guys i got a quick question about DNC
Just use /say or /yell to talk to others in Limsa
with closed position do you have to be in a certain radius for standard finish to apply to your dance partner?
Yes, but it’s very large
You really only encounter the range limit in dungeons if someone returns
Or super large 24man arenas
hello ppl, i'm trying to get back to ffxiv but i have an issue with login.. im at the square enix account login.. i enter my email and i dont remember the password so, i use the "forgot password".. reset the password. Go to enter my e-mail or id.. i enter my email that i just use for reset the password, enter the new password aaaaaaaaaaand.. password or ID is incorrect ✌️
Are you logging in on Mogstation or the Square Enix site? Because those are separate.
square enix site
You should be logging in to Mogstation. That's your FF14 account. Also it only takes your username as "id" and not your email address.
um.. how do i put retainer on outdoor housing?
You need an Expansion of Duties Permit I believe. Which you can buy from the Sutlers in the housing districts
so i try to rerset my password at moghstation.. and it sends me to square enix account :headache:
You need an Expansion of Duties Permit I believe. Which you can buy from the Sutlers in the housing districts
@strange coral Where can I find a sutler :o
EL5 Yokai? Run around doing fates for what purpose? To buy a mount?
Depends on which housing area. Check map for the vendor/bag icons
@gloomy mortar minions/weapons/mounts
Depends on which housing area. Check map for the vendor/bag icons
@strange coral
this?
When tanking multiple mobs, when the mob dwindles to 1-2 at ~25% health, do you then take off running to pull more mobs? Or is it better to stay spamming aoe attacks until entire mob is killed?
New playerI; have a navigation question, in cities when following quest markers is there an indication of what path to take that I am missing? I spend a lot of time figuring out how to get to where I need go in town to pick up or turn in quests.
Generally you pull as much as the dungeon allows you to pull for post-50 dungeons
Assuming your gear and the healer can handle it
where do I get Nvidia shaders? Is using damage trackers bannable?
Using a parser can only get you in trouble if you use it to harass or tell random players that you’re parsing them
Simply having it running will never get you in trouble
@grim relic unfortunately no
should I get a home in mist if Im a new player?
so i just got my first treasure map can i get some help? i need 7 people its's a zonureskin
Was worth a shot, the town designers are sadists...😆
Getting a house isn’t really a thing you can do right away as a new player
is it better to do the yokai event or msq? (I'm only lvl 34)
First thing is that you need to be a 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company to be able to own housing.
is it better to do the yokai event or msq? (I'm only lvl 34)
@plush perch Yokai is limited, MSQ is not limited.
msq for sure in my opinion atleast
Hence Yokai will disappear on patch 5.4
Secondly is that housing space is limited, and the auto demolition timer is currently paused
@obsidian patio kinda sad but understandable
Hey all, what do I do with weapons I don't use? Is there a disenchant or breakdown?
Only the final stage anima weapon can go in the glamour dresser?
can anyone send me a parser?
also if anyone is using the trial client please help me out
Desynth
Is there a way around the inaccessible market board for trail players?
Is there a way around the inaccessible market board for trail players?
@river minnow
Trial can't trade or use the board without the base game
dam
I believe it is to combat gold sellers. There's no doubt they tried to lock down all loopholes
I don't want to pay sub, but I want to bypass free trial restrictions
So do I just vendor old weapons (after extracting mateira?
Can you use trade as a trial?
Alternatively:
- give to retainer as hand me downs
- trade with GC for GC seal (doesn't work with all weapons)
No
was I deceived I thought that at level 30 of the arcanist I would have unlocked the scholar
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
Do you story quest
but I unlocked summoner why didn't I get scholar 
You didn't spot any
in the Arcanist guild at all?
Summer and Scholar have separate quest to unlock them
Yeah they are two separate quest line
Remove your soul crystal if you equipped it
got it ty
And it shows
is there anything to do with collectibles with too-low collectability? just discard?
If you can't sell them to NPC to get some gil
Only discard, yes
Yeah, just discard
thx
(I always thought there is a way to sell, but oh well)
I'm doing the higher tier levequests. Is it worth doing them and buying off of market if you need mats you don't have due to being behind a profession?
Up to you to decide what's worth it or not
Saving time
Or saving gil
Leve quest doesn't expire btw
Do I need the yokai watch equipped to get legendary medals too, or just the initial medals?
Only the normal medals
Oh good

Is there any way to get the Bees Knees dance emote other than paying 80k MGP coins for it? Or any way to get it cheaper?
everytime i use glamour plate and apply i spend a prism?
no @gloomy mortar
I'm looking into Grand Companies, the Hunt Board in particular so I can buy some seeds, but... I can't participate in hunts? Why is that?
it doesn't spend any prisms from applying from the plate
You only spend prisms putting the items into the dresser
