do the rank up 
thx
I wonder if anyone can advise me on something. I currently own an EU FFXIV account but reside in the US. I want to get the licenses for PS4 so I can play away from my PC. My PS4 account is NA. Is it even possible for me to do?
It's so confusing
your account is EU so you can only buy EU licenses
So how would I do that if my PS4 region is NA?
no idea
I click "buy" on the Mogstation, but it just redirects me to the PS Store website
yea because you can't buy directly from the mogstation
all it does it redirect you to the appropriate store page
the only way i can think of to buy a psn copy for EU while in the US is to buy a physical copy of a ps4 Eu copy
I wish their customer service was better so I could get it right from the horses mouth, so to speak. I've been dealing with region issues since Heavensward.
So a friend of mine transferred to Balmung with me because of the population and for roleplaying but it hasn't panned out well at all and a friend of his who plays Trial account says they can't go onto Balmung to play with them, and they can't ride two seater mounts cross-world. They want to transfer off Balmung now so I don't know what to do.
Is there a way to transfer off free?
they can ride the mount if theyre in a party
with him
and what do you mean they "cant go onto balmung"
they cant make a character on it?
They said, Trial accounts can't access Balmung?
trial accounts can access all worlds
you should get word for word what the game is telling them
i keep reading you can do 6 beast tribe quests a day, i can only do 3 with my dwarf beast tribe. where do i find the other 3 dailies on dwarf beast tribe?
if its a case of the world being closed its because theres too many people online at the moment
@zinc kelp each tribe gives 3 quests a day
no
Arr beast tribes are different
oh just for that day?
My friend said, that they can't get their friend to ride on their multi-Person Mount cross-world, is that a restriction?
for expansion tribes
yea cause i remembered when i hit rank 5, i was able to do extra 3.
then now im looking for it, i was only able to do 3
ty ty
so only 3 per day then
@leaden ginkgo were they in a party with the person with the 2 seater mount
if not then they cant
Apparently they were
its more likely that they overlooked something because there shouldnt be any restriction to mount riding
So, friends who are going Cross-World absolutely can ride the same mount together?
You need to be in a regular party, not a cross-world party
so if you form the party after they already came to your server, it will work
how do you find people to do savage content with I've been in duty finder for 3 hours
by not queueing for savage
savage is not something you can just knock out in one go
therefore people dont queue for it
there's a party finder?
party > party finder
oh oh damn
can recommend melee dps to play?
Gonna go out on a wild limb here and let you know that you're not ready for Savage
omg Hiten style is writing
Any changes to the usefulness of "Encrypted Tomestone" and "Unidentified Allagan Tomestone"?
I knew what he's going to say 
@patent citrus any melee dps you like
How do you jump between worlds in ffxiv? Like if I was on twintania and wanted to go to zodiark?
if its the same data center go to a main city and interact with the big aetheryte
yeah those are the same DC
only the main Aetheryte in Gridania, Ul'dah, and Limsa will let you world visit
oo i was wrong
@gloomy mortar toss them they have no use anymore
Hi! Has anyone a rough time estimate on how long the post ARR content takes until Heavensward? Is it as long as ARR itself or shorter?
Nominally it's shorter.
There are 2-3 jobs I'm keen to try out, but I don't want to skip story. I hope I can beat that content this weekend π
It's hard to say exactly though, since there were significant changes made to ARR and post-ARR in 5.3 to streamline them.
It was about 100 quests.
@frosty atlas There are like 87 now, but it's way shorter
Can you dye housing furniture Metallic colors?
Also, you have access to flying as well in 2.1-2.55
Because all of those quests were reworked and streamlined
so that makes a LOT of the traveling substantially less painful
I'm trying to gather 1k Titanium Ore, what's my best approach? They're on a hidden slot, just.. run in circles collecting random other stuff? Should I try for Luck of the Mountaineer?
And you have the Waking Sands ticket to teleport there
Pray return to the Waking Sands

@jolly sorrel find the area the titanium ore is in
there should be 3x 2sets of mining nodes
So is 20 hours a good value? It took me around 45 hours to beat ARR with 5.3 and reading quest summaries/watching cut scenes
in order to reset the list of a x2 set of mining nodes
you simply go to two separate nodes
Yeah, probably estimate 15-20 hours.
I can't buy shadowbringers. What is going on..I have all my extensions turned off but am stuck on the review purchase page
Okay, that's bearable. Thanks!
@jolly sorrel
so basically
right click on both blacks
if they have it mine
if they don't go to red right click both
then if they don't go to green
once you have done green, black's list will reset
This is how you reset the nodes for maps etc. too btw
@delicate ivy did you enter your billing address and stuff in your SE store account
Okay, so for hidden slots by best bet is to just keep running around waiting for them to spawn, no special mechanics to speed it up
yo im on the quest "escape from castrum centri" and i have to fight the magitek vanguard, but the mob is invulnerable?
that is correct.
pay attention to the npc dialogue @true forge
Yes
There are shield generators to find and break.
Hidden somewhere behind all the shipping containers.
This is where I am right now, I can't get past this page. I'll try another browser...
Alright. Once I have a node, what's the most efficient way to get loads of items? Pick Clean and then Bountiful Harvest?
Yup
pick clean is the best if you don't care about quality
Use those when you have gather attempt +
Have you actually... entered your billing and shipping information @delicate ivy ?
It's pretty hard to find both a hidden slot AND gather attempt + π¦
It appears blank there, but I'm assuming you cleared it.
Yeah I just blocked all that out cause I didn't want it posted here
censored
Kind of figured, just wanted to check π
add your billing address and everything in your SE store account
unknown
9 times out of 10, it's just that the site doesn't like your browser because of reasons.
buy the HW collectors edition
That's an expensive way to get a free Fantasia lol
its on sale
its the same price as a fantasia
same price
Digital upgrade is on sale
Pick Clean is 250 for +1~+3, Bountiful Harvest II is 100 for +1~+3. But the first is on all attempts, the second on just 1
Indeed
The sale price makes the collector's edition the same price as a Fantasia? That's nuts.
So I unlocked the Black Mage soulstone and I'm levle 42 now, but I can't find the class quests in the Thaumaturge guild. Where do I go?
You no longer do class quests
You now do BLM Job quest
And it should resume from the other NPC
Other NPC?
Yeah, that's the MSQ.. I've been doing it and haven't found a Black Mage quest
Below it is a line of text followed by a exclamation mark
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Okay, thank you
Have fun
Will do, you too

Goddam this game is so good
How does glamour casting, the plates and the glamour dresser work in this game?
You put a copy/illusion of a item of equipment
The dresser can store equipment to use as glamour and you use items in the drsser and armourie to make plates, which are preset glamour templates you make and then can freely apply
While you're in a city
You can reuse items as much as you want
okay so if i got a pair of glasses that i wanted to put over my current head armor, i would put the glasses into the dresser, put it onto a plate, then apply to plate to myself?
You'll need glamour prisms to manually glamour or put things in the dresser
Yes
Then you can link the plate to gear sets
May I ask how I can claim the Whisper a-go key?
Can i edit the plate after it's made?
So whenever you swap to that gear set, it will attempt to apply the plate
Yes
At the dresser
@sweet leaf Jonahas at old gridina, marked on the map as Achievement exchange
hmm but you can apply the glamour plate anywhere right?
using the glamour plate skill
Only in citiee
oh that's why
so outside the dresser and plates, i can use glamour prisms to just glamour 2 things together by right clicking the gear? does doing a glamour like that consume the appearance gear?
No, but its pretty inefficient to do since you'd spend 2 prisms each time you did that
Whereas putting an item into the dresser to be used on plates consumes the prisms once and never again
if a squadron mission is greyed out, does it mean anything other than ive done it once?
You canβt run that mission again for the week
is there a discord for people that want to do old savage raids for mount farming?
Biguns
Burst one down super fast
Thanks @faint flare
Dang
much appreciated
Sadbardnoises
also does it make more sense to focus on a 4man party to level up sqaudrons or split them among all 8 in exp?
Do I need to buy an ARR license before I can register Shadowbringers on PS4?
"The FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS expansion pack also includes FINAL FANTASY XIV: HEAVENSWARD & FINAL FANTASY XIV: STORMBLOOD"
yes
Would the Starter Edition work if I have the game registered on PC?
Getting in contact with Square Support is the worse!!!
Getting in contact with Square Support is the worse!!!
@crisp quartz Agree
yes it would work because pc and ps4 are two different licenses
Ive been trying to get in contact with them for over a week and Nothing
idk, my experience with them has been mostly positive. you just need to be very specific about what you need.
Over a week? what issue is it about?
I was, I have a Square Enix ID attacted to my PSN and I want to unlink it so I can link my Square ID
....huh?
stuck on this msq where i have kill a worm lvl 39
I bought a subscription as well as all the expansions on my PSN account without knowing there was a Square Enix Id attacted to it already
what quest
Crit > dh > det
Critical Hit Rate > Direct Hit Rate > Determination > Skill Speed
You need better gear then @heady knot
@faint flare hmmm how
What is the name of the quest
Buy some off market/vendors or dungeons
trying to find the quest name
Story gives you enough usually
because its also possible that its one of the few quests where you have to use an item on the enemy to weaken it
Plus you're a healer so you can't die
If I bought the expansions on my PSN account but make a new account to play, can I use the expansions or would I have to buy them again?
The amount of behind your gear would have to be to be unable to kill an MSQ target would be like.....you did no class quests, you did no job quests, and you didnt equip anything the game gave you from MSQ.
So its probably something else
Yeah i dont really get your situation @crisp quartz why are you trying to switch which account is linked to your PSN?
factual folklore thats the name of quest
then that is a quest where you need to use the item given to you to weaken the enemy
Hm Can I ask question about 3rd party software here?
o ok
its in your key items inventory or you can use it from the quest list
ty
If you read the quest, it will tell you this.
lol apprently i must have thought is a filler story quest so i did not read
@simple shore because its not my Square Enix ID, idk whos it is and how it got linked to my ps4
ok ty
So I have not access to it
You could contact support and have them unlink it then
I tried...
Well, i certainly cant speak for PS4 shenanigans as i dont use that platform, but a random SE ID getting linked to your account seems....difficult?
Like, "it was someone you know" difficult. Just a guess.
I used to play FF14 on my ps4 like 3 years ago and I have all my information, I could log into my Mogstation and see my old characters stats and items but even though I ised to play it on my ps4 the account thats linked is someone elses. I dont know why
So I want to get them to unlink it but Ive filled out their forms like 5 times and nothing... I have 5 different ticket numbers and everything. Havent gotten a response
is it better to have war/magic or gathering or crafting classes for retainers?
can't make your retainers crafters, for one
oh ok
generally recommend one combat retainer and one gathering retainer though it doesn't matter too much. combat retainers are nice to have if you're going to level crafters since you can send them out to gather materials that drop from mobs
the thing to keep in mind though is that retainers can only go as high as you are in that class
so if you're not interested in leveling gatherers, then there's no point in making a gathering retainer
and if you do make a gathering retainer, they can only gather items you personally have already gathered atleast once if you do the specific 1 hr ventures
do you get to pick from a list of all things you've personally gathered?
the items you can send your retainers out for are specific (its essentially the same as your gathering log)
right. I meant like is it a more limited list than the gathering log or is it the whole gathering log so long as they're high enough level and you've gathered it before?
its pretty much the same list as your gathering log barring the most recent legendary node items
cool. so between the gatherers, is either like "better" than the other?
is double weaving just fitting 2 ogcds inbetween gcd casts?
Yes
the only one that's not really recommended is fisher
botanist/miner are pretty equal to each other
ok cool thanks! I'll just grab one of them then...or just make both retainers arcanists since I have leftover gear from my own stuff lol
@faint flare ty
Hello guys, idk if i'm on the right chanel but i need help to get 3/7 Kamuys, can some of you help me please >< ?
The help in #questions-and-help is not that kind of help
You are free to recruit here
grind harder π
Im still in ARR and i keep reading something about Adventurer Squadrons, how do I unlock that? Or is that later in the game?
@fringe lotus squadron is unlocked once you reach high rank in your Grand Company
oh yep didn't saw recruitment chanel sorry
you need to get to 2nd lieutenant for that

Is there any point skipping ARR before level 50??
Was thinking its quicker to get to 50 with MSQ than skip it and do random quests/dungeons
i can't speak to current patch, but dungeons were probably faster last patch
as someone who completed arr within the last 30 days
It is probably faster to skip story, then you queue for dungeons and grind them for exp.
Take note that skipping story also means spending no time in traveling from location to location
the big time sink is traveling, yeah
This takes up more time than you can imagine
thats a good point thanks peeps
you won't have flight or any of the qol
whats qol
Quality of life
such as?
Which healer class best synergises with DRK?
WHM
by a mile
Benediction is the perfect pairing to Living Dead
!action Benediction
@wanton fossil are you asking what's QoL?
!action Living Dead
Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s
Or what are QoL important to traveling
@simple shore thanks a lot for the information!
np
you automatically get flying by beating arr
silly question for crafting. Is there possibly a list of mats that are 100% safe to just turn into a crafted mat? example like muddy water is pretty safe to turn into distilled water (since iirc thats the only thing it crafts into)
@wanton fossil flight, aetherites, chocobo porters, increased mount speed
silly question for crafting. Is there possibly a list of mats that are 100% safe to just turn into a crafted mat? example like muddy water is pretty safe to turn into distilled water (since iirc thats the only thing it crafts into)
@zenith bear there is no list
but you can use garlandtools (website) to check the usage
for each items
Or right click and use the new option
Hey! I've been pondering about buying the Complete Collectors Edition digital upgrade, which is being currently shown in this page https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/88dc959aae42bd76e74427b7f4351d34d715822d****
Search receipes using this material
oh yeah, i forgot about that
but I do not know where to buy it, since I went to the mog station to look it up and it only lets me buy the 10 dollar "upgrades"
what you have in inventory: do what vinyl said
what you don't have in inventory: do what I said
on mogstation it should list the individual upgrades as well as the all in one deal on the same page
if you already owned a collectors edition of one expac then you cant buy the complete collectors
if you already owned a collectors edition of one expac then you cant buy the complete collectors
do you even own complete edition?
or if you dont own all expacs
upgrade only works if you have the stuff to upgrade it from
what you have is just the Starter Edition
oo maybe he doesn't own all the expansion yet
which is ARR and HW
its just an upgrade for complete to complete collectors, it does not include complete itself
ooh, I get it, thought the "complete" thing came with the expansions
no its only cosmetic items
yeah
complete came with the expansion
complete collector upgrade
is upgrading your standard complete (which you dont have) to a collector complete
so how do I buy the next expansions?
i know I got a realm reborn (base) and heavensward
is shb still 40$
there was a sale but it just ended a few days ago, sorry π¦
im asking about the default price
then yes
im more surprised they still sell starter edition
base price for expansions has always been 40$
can you use crysta to prepay a month? or do you just have to charge crysta and let it auto renew?
the 2nd one
so for example if you have 50k crysta, you cant just buy 1 more month, you need to turn on auto renew and if you dont turn it off it will spend all crysta
through mail?
yes
i want to point out that if you buy the whole game (can't play just with the expansion), it is the same price regardless (either buying Starter + Shadowbringers, or just grabbing Complete in one swoop)
you still get ARR, HW, SB, and ShB
it is now just more value for Starter Edition
How do I quickly hide my hud?
Controller or kbm?
kbm
scroll lock
Is it normal during a party to stop at a treasure coffer and do the need greed pass? I just completed the βitβs probably piratesβ duty, and my party blew through it so I couldnβt really read the notes before we were hitting another area, and I didnβt have time to check most of the loot, do people click on the purple side bar and do it while they are spamming smaller mobs and stuff? Or should everyone wait by the coffer until votes have been cast
because people dont need sastasha gear
they open the coffer and move on
and loot as they go
the norm is to do your need/greed/pass quickly then regroup with your folks
and let the loot resolve in the background (if anyone else is undecided, or just want to pass but don't want to press)
Normally i click on the box and move, check it during trash or whatever
most of the loot probably wont be for your class anyway
so they just check which class and pass if they dont need it
If it's actually important to my ability in the dungeon for some reason I'll ask for early resolution
drg or mch which gives more raid dps?
drg has more party buff
why is it a support class?
So they give no raid dps
its not a support class
Its not
it is not a support class
theres no support classes
oh... i thought all ranged dps were support
it is a Ranged Physical DPS
No
nope
All physical range are dps
MCH do have 1 party defensive buff and whatever they got from role actions
They have a few small support skills
even tank and healer are DPS, just with additonal tool XD
all jobs are dps if u think about it

Hey all, so the Yo Kai weapons are really only meant as glamor pieces?
Yes
ok cool π
They have basically no stats
Manjimutt looks absolutely insane and I love it
@twilit schooner You gather how ever many you need of the item as a collectable and make sure it's at the right amount of collectability. They will only take up to 6
Healers who does not heal are Ducks π¦
So if i need to deliver something it needs to be in the collectibility range and i only need 6 pieces?
Yep
Is it alright if i go beyond the collectability?
Ok thanks, i thought that i need a lot of pieces to give in lol
Are 5+ minute wait times for the early dungeons normal on servers other than Bryn? I queued as a Tank for the 3 MSQ Dungeons and the Ifrit Trial and the wait times were 5+ minutes for each of them on Bryn. Are other servers better and/or is it worth re-levelling a level 33 character on another server?
That is pretty normal
Tanks/healers have good queues lol. DPS is like 10-15min
take note that match making is done on data center level
so if you swap to a different world, but still in the same data center
it won't make match making better
5 mins is a fast queue
5 min is fast
Oh really? Thats cool. I just figured that 5 mins was kinda long for the early dungeon and figured its cause most people are way higher levels
early dungeons also have the worst queue times
take note that higher level players can be match made to you
higher level players do roulette for daily bonus
in return, the roulette get to match make them to unspecified dungeons with players who needed help
Wtf lvling roul didnt even give me a lvl this happen to anyone else?
Yes
it gives exp...
Also I see groups of people running around doing lower level fates and its really chaotic to try to get kills as a MAR, any tips on how to get a few FATE kills before the mob comes and deletes it in 3 seconds?
:(
form a party
wait for the event to die down
the Fate zerging is because of the event that just started this week
theres an event going on rn
Join a fate party
Oh, is the event open to all players or only certain level or higher
the quest is lvl 15
info to add on leveling roulette (applies to most of the roulettes too), it gives bonus EXP based on the following factor:
A your level vs the level of the content: the higher the level difference, the more bonus. basically in the end, the exp your earn from killing mobs + bonus exp from roulette is worth while no matter how high you level is
B expected duration of the dungeon: ifrit, garuda, titan 4-player are in leveling roulette, but they give less bonus exp to account for the shorter "dungeon" time. this is more apparently with MSQ roulette, praetorium and castrum.
and you cant get most of the event rewards if youre a low level player
since a lot require expansion zones unlocked
take note that Yokai watch will last (at least?) into 5.4
so it is running for at least another 2-3 months
i take it back only 4 require expansion areas
Thanks everyone !
I finished the WAR quest and got an armor set that's level 90, but i think i read you couldn't use it in raids, is that true?
No
There's nothing even remotely resembling what you described anywhere in the game
ilvl 90 probably
At least now I know i can use this sweet gear
not equip level 90
Does every custom delivery npc have the same delivery limit?
Is there any bonus to joining an FC right at 25, or would it be better to wait
Does Trained Eye work for collectibles?
how do i store unique untradable items? I want to keep the lvl 45/50 class armor set.
wheeerre to do trial synthesis?
so long as its 10 lvls below you, it will work
@twilit arch oh sick
@primal relic put it in the armoire
It doesn't show up
should i do everything in the recommended list? at the moment i'm doing the hall of novice exercises, but there are also quests that are being suggested.
did you repair them
lvl 50 cant be stored in the armoire then
put it in the glamour dresser
if you want it as fashion
@unborn dock you can ignore it if you want
Im in The Praetorium rn and people are skipping cutscenes and doing the boss fight while im in cutscenes?? how is that possible
forcefully disconnecting and logging back in
It does not show up in the glamour dresser too. Says "There are no glamours"
you need glamour prisms
^
I'm new to glamouring so wha do I click to prism an item?
Right click the armour > cast glamour
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
is duty roulette a daily quest kinda thing?
Oh, it's asking to change the appearance of an item. I thought you meant it was a way to save the item looks. Instead of it taking up room in my inventory.
it stores gear so you can use them as fashion
@vague narwhal daily dungeon/trial/raid/whatever you selected
so it is a daily
yes
What do I do with the faded copy's of orchestration rolls? Can i restore them somehow?
@fringe lotus report them, it is against the terms of service if they break your experience on purpose.
Faded copy are used in crafting recipes to reproduce the orchestration roll
how can i cancel an ongoing macro?
Alright thanks!
./mcancel, there's also a shortcut you can set
Yea
so i was in a supposedly "scaled" duty amdapor keep. it says everyone scales to 110 ilvl but do you guys know why some vets have WAYYYY more HP and dps than my noob char?
Hey as a post ARR character, what's the best minions i should take to farm medails ? Since i don't have access to HS yet
it doesn't scale you up to ilvl 110, it syncs you down to it if you're over that ilvl @brave ravine
@brave ravine the obvious question that has to be asked first is - what is your item level average?
o i'm at like ilvl 79
Well there's your answer.
@patent trellis pins tell you which minions are in expac zones
Should i farm the medals in group ?
Yes, check party finder for fate groups
If you try to do it solo it will be hard to tag stuff as there are other groups doing them too and they melt the fates super quick, especially the blue mages
Why blue mage are better for this ?
Is there a site that I can look for any houses/plots?
The only way to find open plots on your server (if there are any) is to check each housing development manually. Open plots in any neighborhood will have a price next to them rather than a name.
Damn only manually? No sites or anything that I can view to make it easier to find any plots?
None that I know of
No, since housing is server-specific.
And most people would probably keep it a secret to give themselves a better chance

I didn't realize that people took housing serious
There's also no real, practical way for a single, centralized database run by a third party to exist and be up to date.
Oh yeah, housing is serious business because it's a limited supply.
I don't see any group for fate farm π¦
Then make one
I mean, it's like, what, 2 or 3am in EU right now? I'm not really surprised.
Can someone answer a question about eternal bonding time? is quite confusing
true true
Is there any dialogue unique to miqote like with xaela in azim steppe?
I've never played anything other than a Mi'qo, but I don't believe so?
they dont
Rip
Any one here want a RAF code?
^^ this but in bold
Posting that in all channels is a good way to get the mods on your ass, just saying.
please don't spam that in various channels for one
and two this is not the place to ask, if a newbie posts they're looking for a code its fine to reply
what is a RAF code?
There is an NPC somewhere in Black Shroud who speaks differently to Miqote
not really sure how else to go on about it honestly
there is also special dialogue in the unlock quest for the Monster Hunter trial
Recruit a Friend
Thanks
Use the recruit a friend subreddit if you want to post codes
Or just wait for someone to ask.
I'll check on that, thx!
oh yeah the monster hunter trial has unique dialogue for miqo
Wait, it does?
not hrothgar surprisingly lmao
What part of it is unique?
i think it was like "a talking cat?"
then the cat npc goes "have you looked at a mirror recently?"
smth like that
I wonder if Hrothgar get it too
anyone remember which mob drops the little red mask that covers your eyes?
Hey, so after the revamp, how do I unlock Hard difficulty Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda? I can't find the quest anywhere (Minfilia isn't offering it)
yes!
If so its literally any Imperial level 48-50 mob in the castrums in Mor Dhona, Eastern La Noscea, or Western Thanalan
regarding performing music as bard
are there any songs you aren't allowed to play?
i saw this on the wiki and wanted to make sure
The rules on that are....weird.
technically, you can't play any 3rd party song but the agreement that is posted is basically there to cover SE's ass
so long as you're not uploading your performance to like youtube
you're fine
so like if I start playing nintendo or persona music in a town am I going to get banned lol
Just play Megalovania. Everyone will love it.
Very unlikely unless as I said, you upload it to like youtube
is there a current list of all the available instruments now?
The agreement is basically SE saying "we told em not to, and they said they won't"
So if you did it, and copyright holder are coming after you and SE, they can't get to SE
is the all worlds maint 5.31 or just hotfixes? will the post SAY 'this is for 5.31' when it's coming? trying to prep for ishgard
@robust crow you can see all the instruments in the performance menu
Miz you asked and had this answered earlier
is there any resources on how much exp each dungeon gives? Specifically for 70-80
Why are you asking the same question again
Theyβre all unlocked by default
Balmerik, i didn't see the answer, my apologies!
i'll try looking again, it didn't show a popup, my bad!
I went back and found it, apologies! It seems like when i stepped away it scrolled, and I'd just been like 'oh guess it was ignored'
it's been a Long Da
*day
proper follow-up question i guess, did we get confirmation on if they're keeping titles (beata/saint) or going with new ones? live letter mentioned they were still unsure
So, when I go into the launcer; I see that the "collector's edition" is on sale for 40 right? Or is that just the items?
just items
Aw man
game sale ended a day or two ago
That sucks even more then lmao
Well, time to wait for my paycheck then beforehand haha
hi, do we have to be the same race to be able to play in parties right away?
You have to start in the same city, which is dependent on the class you start with
no, your starting class dictates which city you start in
so if we pick different races, when's the earliest we can group?
Race doesn't determine starting zone, classes do
oh you mean classes like marauder/gladiator?
ah ok
And you meet up at lv15 story quest
there are 3 different cities you can start in depending on what class you picked
ah ok, so assuming different classes, the earliest we can meet is 15. is that long?
Marauder, arcanist are limsa
No, its like an hour or so
you'll be able to go to all 3 of them before you do your first dungeon iirc so pick whichever class you wanna play instead of deciding which one starts in the same city
ah ok, so assuming different classes, the earliest we can meet is 15. is that long?
@arctic dune only if you guys have different starting city
You are free to swap to any classes once you finish your lvl 10 class quest
is there a way to change the text in the General chat log that says what the boss is doing? like "the dragon's eyes turn blue" ?
And lvl 15 story will let you visit other starting cities
change the text color of what the boss is doing, or move it to a different chat log?
ah ok thank you guys for the answers. am new to this π
@leaden ginkgo those should be βSystem messagesβ in the log filter
so in free trial u cant form parties but you can get in a party?
Yes
@obsidian patio thank you. Do you happen to know how are the retainer notices filtered?
not the items sold, but when ventures are over
If theyβre not specified as a specific thing in the log filter then itβs likely system messages too
thanks!
if i buy the game can i still play on free trial after a month?
oh i see, i will have to consider it seriously thanks
considering they upped the trial to HW, i'd say don't buy until you get there
since if you don't like the game at that point, chances are it's not gonna be the game for you
so I collected 13 minions, it says I can redeem a mount
nobody has any additional dialogue for me? how do I claim?
Free trial is for new players to try the game for free and to entice them to commit and pay subscription
Jonahas at old gridina, marked on the map as Achievement exchange
@stuck ingot look at pinned message
There is a nifty lil graph detailing all info for Yokai watch event
hello, am new
when i was in gridania the aethernet was able to connect to the gates (i think yellow serpent and blue badger gates?)
how do i connect to the gates in other areas? i'm specifically in ul'dah and wondering if i can connect to the main gates like the gate of nald
ok, i thought i did but i mustve missed one O: ty!
You get a message when you do
how do I accept achievement reward
Talk to Jonahas and select the second menu
o shit i found the one i missed 
thank you sm! 
Then take everything
The yokai mount is under quest
Jonahas is who you go to whenever a achievement has a item rewards
I feel very weak when trying to level ACN, any tips? I'm level 12, but feel like I can't take on (when in solo open world content) monsters of even lv 11.
Make sure gear is completely up to date
Ruins should be killing mobs in around 4ish casts
Try to avoid fighting multiple enemies at once when possible
Though your carbuncle may make that harder since their damage is AoE
To confirm, you can clear MSQ only once right

Yes
Yes, only once for rewards
There is new game+ though if you want to replay the quests
The gear seems alright, but I guess it's nothing great. Wonder if I can craft better...
Trying to target CPU allies in healer job quests is really annoying esp on controller, I even set a custom to alliance/party and it won't target them
Though you can replay the story for the nostalgia/story using New Game +, which is unlocked by Old Man Xehanort Wistful Whitebeard near the Waking Sands after completing Heavensward leveling story
Is there an easy way to do these
Just being sure, do we need to have done the dwarf beast tribe quests to access the YoRHa stuff?
No
If youβre talking about the Hall of the novice trials, left/right should work
I honestly use the touchpad (PS4 controller) and use the mouse to click on them lol
Sheathing your weapon may be needed
I use left/right but it's cumbersome with lots of enemies and allies
Kinda wish they just counted as party so you could use Up/Down
Yeah thankfully that is not a super common mechanic
Really only a few solo instances
Is there a place where you can read about the datacape story? I returned to the game after half a year off and Iβm midway through these raids and very confused
You mean deltascape?
Yeah deltascape my bad
Yeah open Journal, completed quests, and can read summary of those quests
Besides MSQ what levels you up the fastest?
Daily roulettes
Especially msq and leveling roulette once you have that unlocked
Also speaking of targeting is there a list of how Alliance differs from Party mechanically? I noticed my AoE heals/buffs don't work but targeting seems to and its a little confusing
Um you should be able to change your targeting preferences somewhere in settings
Not sure if alliance and party are two separate things
Your AOE doesn't work on other parties in alliance
But you really never need to cast spells on other parties in your alliance
Is that the only difference?
Except maybe to raise a healer
You can still directly target someone and heal/buff/rez them, no matter which party
You can only affect alliance people by single target heals
Skills that say "Give party member X" doesn't work
So like Shared tank cooldowns
Dont work in alliance
Like how your AOE heal doesn't affect other players in the open map
But you can still target them and rez them
^ Basically
Omg i just farmed 15 of the same legendary.... Now i understand how it works, any idea what can i do with my 10 medals left ?
can someone link me a quick easy RDM rotation for aoe and boss dps? havnt played in a real long time
Toss them away @patent trellis excess is useless
π
I want the Katana but the only zone is in HS and i didn't unlock it yet π¦
Yeh
!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.
i see! thank you
what lvl is heavesword content and shadowbringer content
Heavensward is 50-60, Shadowbringers is 70-80
Just realized this, but you can't use Noctis' Armor in the glamour dresser?
You should be able to
anyone else just got disconnected and cant login with error 3070? character data could not be retrieved. but now it tried to login but the place in the queue doesnt sink.
nvm. it says try again later. so i will try tomorrow evening when im back.
It's not showing up in my glamour dresser. It's in my armoire though?
Thatβs because you put it in your armoire
It can still go into the dresser if you want it to keep a specific/expensive dye
But items in the armoire donβt count as space taken in the dresser
oh wait nvm. it's in seasonal 5. i kept looking under achievements
Yes
ah
what decides the standing animation my character has? I have a different one from a few characters of the same race I am
you can use /cpose to change your standing pose, sitting pose, sleeping pose, and weapon drawn pose
there is also an option to cycle through the various poses automatically while you're idle
I'm looking for where it says how many days I have left for my subscription, I have the entry version but it doesnt show up on the website or character select ingame?
Whats the ideal skill speed for a level 80 samurai?
Okay I found the subscription end date. If I don't pay for another 30 days, does it revert back to trial status or lock me out of the account altogether?
Lock you out
Damn, I'd love to get all my jobs to 60 for free π
Is there a way to increase the text size of the general dialogue on PS4?
Ik there's a way to increase HUD size
Question: is there a way to see how much damage, healing, etc. People have taken in a dungeon, raid or boss battle?

is there a cost efficient way to get eulmoran tickets to upgrade neo-ishgardian? so far i'm down to just buying the cheapest weapons on mb and trading them in but that's still kinna pricey ;__;
would somebody please explain in a brief manner, how SCH differs from WHM and AST?
I haven't played SCH, but so far (up until lvl 50) both AST and WHM feel similar in terms of healing abilities
I wonder how SCH fares in comparison in terms of raw healing potency and mechanics
What's the fastest way to farm poetics?
I've been doing roulette but i notice you get similar sizes or even more in raids in my opinion
it's 7 legendary medals for weapons right?
is there a point to doing New Game+ other than seeing the story again? are there new rewards?
how does ishgard restoration work? u craft items, get currency, and then what? what do u do with it?
@leaden ginkgo SCH is much more of a proactive healer in that it relies on putting shields on people as opposed to the WHM's raw healing output
AST is more focused on buffs while being able to focus on either shielding or regen effects
Anyone know what gloves are seen in this picture ? https://i.imgur.com/hEIj7EC.png

Makai Moon Guide's Fingerless Gloves, they are no longer available
whats the most used / useful healer atm?
SCH is much more of a proactive healer in that it relies on putting shields on people as opposed to the WHM's raw healing output
@scarlet arrow i would say this is a bit misleading about what the healers do at cap, SCH whilst he can be a proactive healer
do not rely on their shields as much and arent super proactive and prefer to heal after damage with their aetherflow stacks
they're all useful
i got a friend who wanna play, and wanna be a healer
so im just asking whats the most easiest? for new ppl. idk lol
i'd reccomend conjurer since tis the only one you can play from level 1
You can only start as a conjurer for healers
oh
Scholar requires you to play arcanist to lv 30 before you can unlock it
and astrologian requires you to be lvl 50 and have enter ishgard before you can unlock it
In terms of easy to play, WHM is generally considered to be the easiest to pick up and run with. Both SCH and AST, in addition to only being available after reaching certain points with leveling or MSQ, both have more specialized styles which can take some getting used to.
Shb relic how long to complete?
right now?
assuming you've completed the return to ivalice raid already
about an hour for the quest, then just 1000 poetics every subsequent one after the first
first one should take maybe 30 mins
if you still need to do the raids
anywhere from 2 to 6 hours
hopefully less but
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
k thanks
thanks for the explanation about differences between healers
I don't like gathering stacks, so I guess I won't bother with SCH for now
SCH you don't generate resources
you just get 3 stacks a minute
(or more, if you eat your fairy)
yeah but that means healing bursts depend on the stacks
but I guess it comes to managing the stacks, just like you manage cards with AST
after playing WHM for a while, the blood lilies feel like overkill
however, those are probably great on heavy movement fights due to being instant
AST feels much faster when it comes to cast times
does WHM get any Spell Speed late game?
They dont priotirise it
depends on your gear
WHM doesn't do weaving
movement (without GCD loss) entirely depends on resources
Astro is still restricted by the gcd despite the quick casts, just allows you to weave cards
Astro felt so bad prior to that Change
lol I can imagine
the frustration of not being able to draw in advance due to healing
It was basically clip dot, clip regen/throw unneeded healing or clip gcd...and you're already liberally using Lightspeed
movement (without GCD loss) entirely depends on resources
@slate arrow does this also apply to SCH?
Sch have an instant cast damage ability, you'd rather broil but obv you can't move during it
Unless you slide cast
Can someone remind me where the role quest ||for Giott is? I've done 3 or 4 and she's not at the bar anymore.||
||I seem to recall he was in arm araeng at some point, try there||
I've searched on Google and I can't find any use for Grade 2 Shroud Topsoil, is it safe to discard?
To be fair whm can spam dia on the move if they have literally nothing else
I don't know why the game labels it as rare/hidden
yeah, it's kinda misleading for new gatherers
Discard, people use grade 3 soils
you're like "oh, I found something rare"
Can someone remind me where the role quest ||for Giott is? I've done 3 or 4 and she's not at the bar anymore.||
@lime geode try kholusia?
then you just realize the game trolled you and wasted gathering points on that
@lime geode try kholusia?
@quasi widget That's the one - thanks!
I mean I think things labelled rare give more exp but citation needed
Bah, have to be lvl 80.
Rare gathered items do not give more exp, no
it did

Shards dont give alot of xp
topsoil is for gardening, though grade 2 isn't used since grade 3 is better
but regardless, it doesn't give more exp than equal level items
shards are not going to give exp unless you're like low lvl
Um maybe I'm playing BLM wrong, but does it get better later? Currently lvl35 and it's so boring that i'm falling asleep. It feels like I been constantly spamming fire 1 over and over and switching to ice to spam to regen mp and switching back, once in a while throwing thunder on beefy mob and using scathe for quick dps.
Thats the point of the job, minus scathe...scathe is basically useless
mmmmm stays fire spam until 60 unfortunately
BLM only gets better later on
hello. if i reached lvl 70 on one character, does my road to 70 buff expires?
No. It hides itself
and yeah, scathe is bad, and so is blizzard 2
dang, alright i'll take them off then. I was hoping it might get other skills except for the only 3 skills i use. Haven't touched the debuffs, regen, or mana shield often.
is there any exp or other penalties to having a much higher level in your party?
To me the range class aren't fun
If the difference between party members is 10+ levels, you won't receive exp
mind you, this is for open world
and not instance content since instances have level sync
I had fun grinding the other classes, it's just BLM feels like i been constantly looking at the same 4 skills over and over again. Fire, Blizzard, Transpose, and Thunder.
Yep
Is there a way to learn a class w/o trial and error? Trying to learn SAM (it starts at 50), but all the videos I'm finding are for Veteran/experienced players trying a new class, not new players
I'll just sck it up and get it over with e .e thanks though
Same as smn
I've seen most classes have damage phases and recover phases
funny thing is smn one of my favorite fun classes. lol
I lm just waiting to be a higher level to summon even big boom boom creatures. π
or do i just log out and back in
@compact citrus there's a button at the top right part of the mail window
iono i just like tossing debuff into explosion and juggling my summons around
I think it's called, request reward, or something like that
whats a good blu spell thats insta cast?

i have a unicorn as a mount unit, but i am unable to summon it? am i missing the requirement to do so?
you used the whistle, right?
is there an easier way to do the party finder relay in chat?
yes, i used the whistle, but it says "unauthorized to summon mount."
have you joined a grand company?
right now i have to open party finder, select my party finder thing, navigate to the speech bubble, click it, and then hit home and type /shout
its an npc faction that you have to join as part of the main scenario quest
so that sounds like the issue, that you haven't joined a grand company yet thus haven't completed the quest "my little chocobo"
oh. okie dokie. i'm sorry.
Uh is the worrior of darkness based of the worrior of light in the trailers?
they're a nod to them, yes
It's... complicated
Hi all. Having launcher issues. Stuck on this screen after I hit login. Anyone else having this issue after the latest patch?
what version of windows and is Internet Explorer on it's latest version?
Windows 7 and good point I'll try and update windows explorer
Sorry I meant internet explorer lol
i dont understand yokai legend medal, can i farm only 1 type of legend medal and exchange for all weapon?
there's like 17 different legend medals I think
each give you the different weapons
so 170 total legendary medals you'd need
each weapon costs 10 legendary medals from its own minion
but i will need 10 of each type right? not just 170 of whatever
tl;dr use watch to get normal medals
summon minion to get legendary medals in specific zones
yep 10 of each type
you need 3 of the "yo-kai medal" to get one minion
then the minion equipped to get 10 legendary medals
Whats that head piece that has a wolf head pelt
probably one of the warg sets from grand cosmos (lv80 dungeon)
thank you, Eugen
Whats reprise for on rdm?
enchanted reprise is for movement/burning off some gauge while you're not able to go into melee combo for whatever reason
Hi..i have a question hoping i can get answers
what is this 2nd exp bar?
rested experience
how do i unrest it
by killing things, crafting or gathering
its 50% bonus exp on the activities i listed
ohhh
and you earn rested whenever you're in a sanctuary
aiiight
is that why I sometimes have a bigger xp boost on my mining and stuff?
ya, bonus exp is denoted in the chat log in parenthesis
Wth is alliance raid taking forever for everyone?
Umm..raises hand question
so it'll look like "You gained x (50%) exp"
what alliance raid are you queueing for and what role
also just ask your question
ohh I didn't notice, that must be why I get a big xp boost for a short while when mining then it dissapears
So..i started a Au Ra Lancer and i went to look into my inventory to use a potion and noticed i had 10 silver chocobo feathers. How did i get 10? I had just started the game with that lancer
if you made a character on a preferred world you are gifted silver feathers
you can use them to buy gear from the calamity salvager
Hmm?oh..i did select one with a effect on the server
- Decide early if you want to do everything (in which case you want to multi-class, or you'll hideously overlevel the content), or just level through (focus the MSQ + class quests for one or two classes/jobs)
does everything mean like side quests and stuff or?
and i guess msq mean main story quest?
sorry im a little stupid
yes msq mean main scenario quest 
and yeah if you intended to do everything, especially on a preferred server
you're going to be pretty overleveled
preferred server is with the exp bonus right
ye
The server i chose was Sargatanas
is sarg a preferred server?
it is, yeah
i see ty :D
how long is mch rotation
that's strange, I haven't seen that before for the firnament
yeah a lot of people are currently playing due to patch
it happens alot in hunt trains you just have to hope and wait for it to die down
wait I'm confused, how can sarg be preferred but you can't create a new character there?
try swapping servers
@leaden ginkgo because too many people online
would that change later or?
it changes with the people online
also @leaden ginkgo servers lose availability to create characters based on how many people are online
oh didn't know that, so in a few hours I should just check again?
yeah
in like 3 or 4 hours probably
or like 6am
some weapons have effects... is there a way for them to be on while sheathed or is only when u draw your weapons
only drawn
I wanna play on a preferred for the bonus level but all my playing friends are in hyperion
π
i mean preferred bonus isnt a huge loss
u cant jump between servers even with the same data center right?
yes you can
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
thinking about leveling a bard or machinest as a 2nd class, since im a BLM having instant cast is quite nice. I heard machinest rotation is super strict though has that changed?
some weapons have effects... is there a way for them to be on while sheathed or is only when u draw your weapons
@small atlas yes
however its kinda weird
you have to swap to battle stance then sit and it counts you as having your weapon drawn whilst its undrawn
Is the windup brick man untradeable?
yes
@leaden ginkgo i think the mch rotation has the least lenience out of all the physical ranged dps yeah
