Trusts take an extra 15mins to clear on average don't they?
Depends
fair play, the only problem is I feel like I’m not doing damage because it’s the opposite of flashy lol
so true lol.
G'day, new to the game. Question about Provoke. Is there something fundamental about it that I'm missing? 'Cuz people in duties get mad at me when I use it. Am I not supposed to? Or is there some specific timing that I should use it?
yeah but in the time you've waited in queue you could've got it done with em
But yes Trust tanks will always single pull
think of it like this
Yeah, single-pull = cancer
Provoke is primarily used in conjunction with Shirk for tank swaps
Then frankly suck it up
Its rarely used outside of that other than pulling mobs from further away
Was just asking for help, wasn't complaining about anything.
@modest gale if you are a tank and you are not the main tank, and there is no obvious reason for you to be the main tank, the only reason for you to provoke is 'me tank me main tank brrr' which many people see as a dick move
especially if you're unwittingly aiming the boss somewhere damn stupid
You dont actively spam provoke
people like to do that in alliance raids I noticed
or because it’s fun to cleave the party sometimes
Because they're stupid
Well, I don't. I use it once, people get mad and then I stop
Either use it for tank swaps or when the maintank dies
so the ARR content ends with The Ultimate Weapon quest?
Nope
No. The base story ends
Since OT usually has tank stance turned off
@modest gale do you have a specific example?
Ultimate Weapon is the end of 2.0
That’s 2.0. You still have 80 quests and change before HW
If you're the only tank, you dont need provoke
Ah, well in regard to main tanks, what is the unwritten rule that someone is the main tank? The one that has more HP?
Nope
now i cant change my password cause i dont remember the fkn security question
Until the swap happens
it’s just whoever is chad enough to get it first tbh, I never get communicatied of who will be
80 quests, 6 trials, 2 dungeons, and three alliance raids
Okay, so is it safe to assume that I will never start as the MT and just wait and see if the other tank will activate the stance?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
If you wanna be MT then be aggressive. Have the stance on and hit that countdown/pull the boss
Let me show you the dance of my people: the "who is MTing" dance
turn stance on, if other person goes me tank me big brrr then either fight them or turn it off
that’s when you provoke to assert the dominance
It’s more fun for the tanks to fight over aggro. On the other hand, it’s significantly less fun for the healers.
So like
Some people do actually use their words and ask, it's not all that uncommon
yeah it’s pretty fun but people may not like it
yeah you could also ask in chat if you can main rank
but the standard is for one person to silently turn it on, other person has it off, and away we go
I see, very enlightening. I'll just assume that I'm not then 'cuz it's difficult to communicate using a controller.
Thank you for the feedback then 🙇♂️
Again. If you wanna MT then stance up and pull
if you want to though, don’t let anyone stop you
is ornate neo ishgardian gear bad? as in cant be upgraded like normal?
Its highly not worth it
yes it may be outdated now
Extremely expensive for barely any gain
especially for the 5-10m gil price range
Especially when Memoria gear exists
now my password doesnt work, security question unknown fkn trash game noone asked you to add more security i cant even play
hi all, i'm playing the free trial in this moment to try the game, i have some questions, what job i have to try at the beginning? in other mmo, like aion i'm main ranger or gladiator. And at the moment of this patch what is the a good dps (not samurai because i can't try it for the free trial i think, and black mage too).
Gladiator isn’t a DPS
Meta is non existant here cause balance actually exists
So keep that in mind
is pugilist a starting class?
Indeed
Yes
you can be both samurai and blackmage in trial
Not samurai
Incorrect on SAM
Thats stormblood
still requires SB
you could try pugilist it’s like the other samurai
No
5.4
Well monk is
ya i meant monk
Greased lightning gonna be different
Well November probably
Either way
112 days after August 11th is December 1st, so not before December yes.
It’s still going to be a melee with lots of positionals
And you’re still going to punch things
How much time does it take from reaching 80 to getting into the first big raid?
you have to complete shb main story line I think for the raids but I could be mistaken

once you are done with the 5.0 ShB story, you can immediately unlock the alliance raids as well as the Eden raids. the only thing potentially stopping you would be gear requirements
@graceful rock to answer the actual question - our bow class is Archer -> Bard. They are a ranged DPS with a ton of freedom of movement that plays around their damage over time abilities and buffs the party a lot.
If you play gladiator-like classes to hit things with a stick and do damage, consider starting as a Lancer. If you’re not fussed about stick usage, consider a Pugilist. I can explain a bit more about these if you’d like.
alright thanks
Whats a fast way of getting from 48 to 49 I'm too low level to get the next story quest 😦
duty roulette?
or spam the highest level dungeon most ppl say
that also works ^
so when an mount you can buy on lodestone says (account wide) it can be used on multiple accounts like two accunts from crystal to primal?
Account wide means all characters on one account
Yee, goes to all youe characters on your account, past present and future
time to get Fatter Cat
i got a question: im trying to get the legendary medallions for the weapon. but im not sure which area i can get these in. on the event page it says check the yokai medallium for details, but what is that?
Duty menu button > collection
The yokai medallion is there
Or just check the pinned messages here for a infographic
...do you need to be lv80 to be able to turn in the lv80 Ishgard Restoration items?
Yes
how many seals per hunt mark you get?
why are you allowed to craft them before 80 then? 
I spent hours gathering all the items for them only to find out I can't turn in a bunch of collectables
I mean there are plenty of things you're allowed to craft at lower levels
It's just that the turn ins work by a block system and you can't go ahead of your current block
This feels so dumb
Yeah going in blocks makes perfect sense but allowing you to craft them without being able to turn-in is the nonsensical part
how many legendary medallion for a wep?
When would you ever want to craft the lv80 collectables and not turn them in?
Like I said, the crafting part works like every other part of crafting
It's the turn in part that's weird
Yeah
Hopefully they change it next phase
@dull sparrow it's 5 for your first one and 10 for every weapon after
@raven sage Thx.
why is it sometimes when i switch back to my previous job, all my keybinds gets reseted
Is there any way to save the icons on the hotbar?
I completed the moonfire faire FATE, but it didnt count it for some reason :/
Character config -> hotbar settings -> shared and tick what hotbars you want the skills to be shared between all jobs and what hotbars you want to job specific
Did you actually take part/use the fate unique actions?
if you dont use both 1 and 2, it doesnt count
Oof, at least i know now
Im on spriggan queuing as a tank for dungeons and its taking forever >10min is there no demand for level 30-40 dungeons?
so to be clear - that's pharos sirius?
How far does matchmaking for dungeons/potd reach? Across NA/EU or restricted to datacenters?
stupid question but uh, how do i feed my chocobo the gyashl greens
Cross data center only
put it on your hotbar or use it from inventory
So primal and aether can't play together, despite both being NA datacenters
nvm
so to be clear - that's pharos sirius?
@agile laurel Yes should be
alrighty
i was trying to use it while on the chocobo lol
just seemed uh. smaller on the inside

then use the greens
just seemed uh. smaller on the inside
Well yes imagine how long it'd take to scale that 1:1 scale
Speaking of things looking catastrophically different - is there any logic behind the loading screen illustrations of zones?
Cause they barely look similar at all - are they all concept arts?
Curious about something in the maintenance coming in 2 days ... what exactly does this mean?
- Any duty recorder data recorded prior to this maintenance can no longer be replayed after this maintenance.
What's the min ilvl for the newest nier raid?
there is an option to record a fight and then play it back, but it's only enabled for certain endgame fights
Ah
so if you record a fight today, it will be erased when maintenance happens
465 @faint meadow
What rank in gc to sell stuff for seals?

Crap, im struggling just to get seals for sergent 3rd class lol

Whats best way to get seals before sergent 2nd class?
I keep hitting my cap on seals by just doing fates from the yokai event
Ah, do fates give seals? ive not really done any fates yet lol
yep I think it was like 200 per fate but they add up pretty quickly with the yokai stuff
well crap i wish i knew that awhile ago, i been sturgglin for seals rofl
where could someone on free trial level 50 buy good gear?
then do msq
I'm Second Storm Lieutenant right now.. I'm not sure how I continue to rank up?
Okay..i just saved the scion(whats left of them) am i close to getting my second mount?
not really
@sage root you know the squadron missions thing
if you mean at HW
GC says there's no more ranks available
you need to unlock and raise up your squadrons to get 1st LT and Captain
I am unaware of the squadron missions thing. I vaguely remember seeing a mission for it I did, but I can't seem to figure out where to start that
you have to complete the level 40 crystal recovery mission
1st LT requires atleast 1 squadron member at lvl 40, captain requires you to do 5 different dungeons with squadrons
you need to enter your squadron room
I think I have squadrons unlocked, just no idea how to get to them
should be next to where you can rank up
if you've unlocked squadrons already, the barracks room is right next to the gc npcs
Enter the barracks
is there gil limit on free trial
yes
Whats the next big thing after shire gear ? Is that at lvl 70 ?
how much?
it's not much but for the trial it's more than enough
Scavean gear at level 70 @limpid lantern
Thats also story locked right ?
Yew
yup
Gotta do base Stormblood before the vendors appear in rhalgars
Any big upgrades before that ?
Sincw literally an hour ago i just unlocked the shire vendor xD
Lv65 dungeon/story starts giving better than shire
my friend is still in ARR and on 200k, without mb you really cant spend in many things
i see tho thanks!
You'll very easily hit thr gil cap on trial
Think i missed it but, where do you see which Yokai gives which weapon stuff?
Yeah its not showing which one gives which wep tho >.> since its blank lol
When you go to buy weapon, they say...the infographic also has correlation and lists the weapons in the same order as the minions
Ah i see, it tells you what medal you need :p
Hmm, how do you quickly switch an instance of a map?
is it worth to get anima weapons?
@elder sinew go to the aetheryte and interact with it. "Travel to instanced area" is the menu selection
Where is the recipe for Monstrous Moggle Mogsword?

Oh when it's Cross-world linkshell, is that cross NA/EU or still DC only?
Ok, so everything's DC mostly
ah cool, thank you
Hey, may I ask some payment question?
sure
If I buy an account upgrade (complete collector edition to be specific) but my lvl isn't lvl 60 yet, will my 30 day free trial be activated or until I'm lvl60?
Do you get recruits for your squadron by completing entries in the challenge log?
by upgrade, you mean going from the trial to owning the game? if so, your trial will end and your 30 days will start as soon as you apply the code
(or if you're on PS4, that happens immediately)
@proven bay yes
Is it random what recruits you get, or do you get stronger recruits by completing more difficult challenge logs?
So If I just buy the game but didn't enter the code yet, I can still playing an free trial version right? @proud willow
If you're not on Playstation, yes, exactly
Yes it's random but there's an item you can use to get a guaranteed one
What item is that?
also you do not need to buy the Collectors' Edition unless you really want the extras that come with it
they are just cosmetic
I think it's called a squadron recruitment manual?
There are some recruits that will only show up from Gold Saucer challenge logs if I'm not mistaken
but they shouldn't be any stronger or weaker, just... unique looking
Aight, I just saw the sale in the store so I think it's might be a good chance to upgrade.
Thanks for the help ;3
Worth it, got the complete edition for $30?
yes (?)
For the math boss in the lighthouse alliance raid, do people just heal through all the mistakes nowadays?
I was planning on waiting to get more skills to 60 before upgrading, but once i hit the 60 cap, had to go premium lol
@elfin edge it's possible to do yes, that or just sac them all and rez later
both are viable
Ah, okay; was wondering why there were so many Xs in my run but everyone survived (though there was a lot of frantic healing on my part). Thanks!
I guess it's like the skeletons in labyrinth
I dont see a reason not to do it right. It gives a damage up buff
For every one you do correct
Quick question. Where can i get eulmoran certificate of novelty?
Is this for the augmented neo-ishgardian gear?
If so you trade hq or nq pieces of neo-ish gear for them
on the mogstation, under additional services
the digital upgrade though requires you to already own the appropriate content
So I must have a character or something first right?
you have to own the base game and expansions that you want to get the digital upgrade for

@little swift oh, good to know!
I am once again asking how to make this damn game launch properly... I just freshly installed my OS and subsequently the game and can't launch the game. This always happens but I always forget how to fix it
I launch through Steam and the launcher comes up, pretty sure it patched properly last night, I put in my acct name and password, the launcher accepts it and gives me the option to press Play, but then the game doesn't boot and Steam recognizes that the game isn't running after a few seconds
any ideas?
Hi! So I checked my missions, and I haven't completed "Treasures and Tribulations". I also haven't started it, because it sin't on my current missions. I went to H'loonh, and she won't give me the mission. What can I do? She doesn't even display the mission que
How does the hunt trains find so many monsters back to back like that?
How does the hunt trains find so many monsters back to back like that?
@elder sinew there are online tools to track the availability of spawns and also to collaboratively report and track them
so I'm working on my 2nd ARR relic wepaon, and I can't seem to find the "Up in Arms" quest to start the fate atma farming
I had trouble starting it up when I started too
Official
@nova umbra @rain pawn if I had to guess it's because you're missing an obscure prereq somewhere
Is it possible to toggle off headgear for retainers?
I mean, I've already done the quest before..
maybe I just need to equip my relic weapon and I can get atma?
Or do I need to apply a glam to hide it?
I've got a question about this macro. Will the milliseconds between line executions affect my raising efficiency much? Looking to tidy up my macro tab and condense all my rez macros into one.
/ac Raise
/ac Resurrection
/ac Ascend
/ac Verraise
/party <t>, return to life!
/micon Raise
I've got a question about this macro. Will the milliseconds between line executions affect my raising efficiency much? Looking to tidy up my macro tab and condense all my rez macros into one.
/ac Raise /ac Resurrection /ac Ascend /ac Verraise /party <t>, return to life! /micon Raise
@gritty oracle short answer is always "yes" but as you already pointed out it's milliseconds
I think the more relevant question here is
Why would you need to condense your raise macros
want to tidy up my macros tab. One line for doh, one for dol, one for healers and so on. It's just tidier to have one button instead of 4.
With 200 macro slots and macros generally being bad to use for combat, i cant imagine actually ever consuming them all
Its going to have a higher chance of failing as well
and i'm a filthy GCD macro user
Since its trying to cast 4 different things at once
I use it for multiple tank roles, just have all the tank enmity skills on 1 macro and slot it
I forget what's the command for copying the cross Hotbar and pasting it to another cross Hotbar
/hotbar copy Weaver 1 Carpenter 1
i see ty
replace wvr/crp with the appropriate job acroynm
can also do /hotbar copy ALC 1 current 1
I use it for multiple tank roles, just have all the tank enmity skills on 1 macro and slot it
@elder sinew @little swift is correct in that it really doesn't matter all that much but this is really funny to me because I did this over a decade ago when main tanking in WoW lmao
Found some antique helm etc in a dungeon, where to bring them?
mor dhona
Kakalan in mor dhona
go into house of splendors, take first right turn
I put the enmity icon in the unchangeable hotbar, since mostly play tank
I think
ty
I put in that command but it didn't work went through so it was a valid command but it didn't replace my cross hot bar
oh cross bar
Or alternatively just put your stance skill on that spot in an unshared bar
You need /chotbar instead of /hotbar
That macro is unnecessary
sorry my bad, i didn't see crossbar
i see ty
That's so much better than having to manually put my hotbars together for all my Crafters
Just playstyle, it's a one time use key per instance, might as well condense it
Plus stance on off is used a lot in raiding
anyone wanna help me troubleshoot my launch/boot issues?
I launch the game through Steam, put in my acct name and password into the launcher, and press Play, and the game just doesn't run. Don't get an error message or anything
thanks, can do
The hotbar is getting overwhelming very quickly
Is there any guide in hotbar buttons?
Are you only able to put limit break on the hot bar while in a duty? I can’t seem to find it in my Actions and Abilities
it's in General actions somewhere I'm p sure, it's not like a class based action
@halcyon glen sry i read it now, in this moment i’m trying lancer and then dragon job, but i wanted to try something else with the trial, even i think if i’ll start to play with the complete game i’ll pick samurai maybe, one question, like tank, the paladin is the most useful in stuff like raids? Btw ty
also @elder sinew I think you might be overly worried about aggro generation. I think either at launch of this expac or maybe not long after they simplified aggro generation to the point where you more or less just need to ensure you're in tank stance and hitting all available targets. At that point only other tanks are going to be able to pull off of you

Btw ty
@graceful rock all of the tank jobs are main tank viable and pretty much every combination of tanks is workable
in terms of advanced raiding they all have small niches about what they're best at and what they might struggle with but you can always work around them
PLD is probably the most versatile tank, just don't go around spamming clemency because you're under 90% your healer will slap you
long story short play the tank job you like the most and once you get to the point you can raid it won't matter much which one it is
@haughty dagger ty man, but now i started with the lancer, on the same char can i try another job like the paladin or a mage, or i have to create a new char?
you must be very new
At level 15 you can
you can level every job on one character and freely switch
does lowering your ilvl for alliance roulettes help?
help in what way?
@haughty dagger yeah i’m new, i started to play at the free trial this morning ahaha
getting the lower faster lvl raids
There are some ways to get better scaling but it's ally roullete it's not that important
It reduces the pool of available alliance raids
ok
is that dependent on ilvl or Job level?
wow I wish I knew that like 4 years ago
I think this is a stupid tactic because it makes it harder for new players to try other content
it's selfish
But that's largely irrelevant
but sometimes we deserve to be a little selfish
@haughty dagger yeah i’m new, i started to play at the free trial this morning ahaha
@graceful rock cool! Enjoy the game, as someone else alluded to if you follow the MSQ you will eventually be shown how to unlock other classes and you'll get a tutorial on how to switch. It's literally as simple as equipping a different main hand weapon
even for the Trial version you can level all jobs up to level 60 now I believe
Hello! Quick question, is there another guide besides Larryzaur to pick a job?
@haughty dagger ty for the infos
I'm not aware of another job showcase video really where it talks about how they play @unique socket
What's the issue?
Hello! Quick question, is there another guide besides Larryzaur to pick a job?
@unique socket what's your experience level with MMOs/FFXIV? If you're a longtime MMO player then I would recommend looking up in depth class videos on youtube
if you're new to MMOs or even just new to FFXIV I recommend not worrying about it and try as many classes as you can until you find one you like
larrys guides are pretty nice although memey
Never been a hardcore mmo player, but it’s not first one
if you find one that looked good he has vids on specific classes too
And to memey for me, that’s the problem
Definitely choose a class that looks fun to you. There isn't really a "meta" in this game
It is memey but it's still a good enough first impressions video
yeah every class is viable
memes or no, larry's vid tells what it needs to tell
^
so at the end of the day whatever you find that sounds fun should suffice
Just about anyway
You get used to Larry
And you can always come back here if you have questions afterwards
you can level as many jobs as you like and switch totally freely
not to mention (maybe @graceful rock will be interested in this too) every job you level that has a level lower than your highest level job gets a significant XP boost (called Armory Bonus). I think it's 50%
100% to 69, 50% for 70-80
damn
so if you level up a job to cap and go through the story with it and decide precisely at the moment you're done the story that you hate that job and never want to play it again that time was far from wasted
not to mention you have access to side content that is good for leveling and other stuff like equipment shops
How do i sell dungeon loot to my GC? It says talk to Quartermaster, but she immediately opens the buy menu, no option for selling?
is there an expert delivery option
Nevermind, i talk to the officer, not quartermaster apparently
turning in gear is called Expert Delivery and if you don't see it, it's because you need to be a higher rank
Nah, the help thing just tells you the wrong npc >.<
it shouldnt
where can ido quests at level 40
i was on "supply and delivery missions"
I completed the somebodys gotta do it quest for warrior, but I never got the war bear horn?
ya that one says personal officer, but other is QM, weird

Its at Jonahas in old gridina
Like any other achievement reward item
Whenever you're meant to get a item from achievements, Jonahas gives it to you
ah didn't know. This is the first time Ive gotten one of these
new to game . any advicce? my launcher keeps failing the download. is this normal
is there a collectable trader in the crystairum they will give you silver scripts?
or only eulmore
@leaden ginkgo could be an issue with your internet? afaik the launcher doesnt have a pause option if your connection cuts out even for a bit.
interesting
what known bugs should i expect of this game
the most common ones on top
ive been playing for about a month and havent found any so far
that's surprising to hear
well the bee's in FFXIV are fatal because they all seem to know a move called "final sting" which is essentially a kamikaze attack
hur hur.
"bugs"
Most bugs are quickly fixed that do appear are usually quickly fixed
Happy to be of service.
but Vinyl is right. Its good big of a team to let bugs get through like that
Are all tribe daily quests the same?
Plus patch notes have a "known issues" sections for problems that managed to sneak through
Which get patched up over time
Should i research the boss fight before going in? Especially as a tank?
Dunno, some folk might consider it spoilers for the fight but on the other hand its more responsible esp. for harder fights so you dont get the party wiped in an essential role like healer or tank.
For reference just had the moogle fight and a few players including myself didnt realise the first time around that youre supposed to kill the little moogles in order first before getting the tank, the dps guys focussed the tank and we got wiped twice before everyone figured it out.
What do you guys do?
You dont need to look up stuff for normal content
its a per player thing anyway
cev you don't need to but you can
some people don't care what happens or what others think of them
and actively like going in blind
most of the time people are new / understanding so you'll all be going in blind
Normal content is usually quick to figure out majority of time or someone tells you after a wipe
some are the opposite. others still take half measures
I'll go in blind to normals and alliance raids for luls
but savage or ex? nah fam. guide first where possible
Im too much of a smoothbrain to manually figure out some of these bullshit savage mechanics
so this will be a weird question but will there be children npcs in game
As a tank I do research on bossfights beforehand just so I know how to best cater to my team. Doesn't matter what level of content it is. For any other classes I would argue it's pretty insignificant. You can if you want to, but it's less necessary
yes @leaden ginkgo
Yeah its just for normal MSQ stuff.
Thats thats good to know. I didnt want to spoil myself but would have checked stuff if it was expected.
If you asked a question you'll need to repeat it because Kael did some moderator stuff.
Dungeons
doing lvl 50 content
50+
lvl 50+ dungeons
uhh i need 2335 of it
wochu wanna buy
lemme guess. Anima/Zodiac weapons?
ironworks set
you dont need a full ironworks set
if its your first job, you do not need a full set
Grab a weapon when you can but everything else is optional
just buy what pieces you can and use the gear given to you from the main scenario quest
you know ive been wondering, since you can no longer buy unaugmented poetics gear what do you even use for the second ring
Weapon. Chest and legs are most important, though accessories sre good idea since the game doesn't really give accessories much prior to 50
For 50, just kind of have to make due with whatever ya got
the best dungeon one you can get*?
60/70 you can by a second ring from the eikonic or dai-ryumyaku poetic gear sets
Or just crafted if you wanna sink gil
honestly at 50 you can just get to ishguard and get some vendor ring for a few levels
before you go into the Heavensward leveling dungeons
i still learn how to play but i aint playing it more than those daily roulettes
dont buy vendor gear
yes
Only the base story
70-80 quests after
but now you're in the patches so not yet
Got more to go to get to heavensward
You're done with ARR 2.0
you're on 2.X content
yeah you don't need it for a while.
the reset timer, does that mean my poetics are gonna go to 0 when it ends?
thats the weekly reset
Reset is for allegory to let you get more
poetics are eternal
ahhh ight
maybe i should do "+" quests after im done with arr content
i've heard that those quests give u nice things
you're gonna need soon or sooner
they unlock content
such as?
did levequests always give this bad xp?
raids, trials, beast tribes
could be anything. more dungeons, more content in the game.
you should do the + quests
That looks like a Battle levequests
ignore the other side quests if you want. you can use those later for leveling other roles
and yes they've always been awful @leaden ginkgo
so what is the last ARR quest's name?
oh wtf
so how do I level my arcanist from 10-30 o.o
palace of the dead/hunting logs/dungeons
And palace of the dead
And fates if you're bored in que
If you can make it to any with the event
guys sry if this question is dumb, but what does this mean? english is not my main language and i can't find a meaning to that
oh thx
i searched it with meaning but on my language it means wings and couldn't find a proper answer
Like
"Alas, it's a shame (blah blah blah)"
okay thx guys ^^
which one do you recommend to get up to speed for SB/ShB MSQ, Sephirot normal or EX?
I don't understand the question
"get up to speed"?
are you trying to level? or catch up on story?
^
or something entirely different?
if youre trying to level, doing trials is not the way to go
We've already told you the answer.
Please stop asking for what extreme trials to do to "prepare"
So i just started the game and i can join crafter guilds now, can i join them all or do i only get to join so many?
You should do them all.
Okay thank you
All crafters except Culinarian make materials for other crafters.
Unless you wanna buy stuff
Though I wouldn't start it on the free trial
Gathering isn't as needed since vendors sell leveling mateirals up to level 70 now
but it's still a bit more pricy compared to gathering everything yourself
Culinarian makes things for crafters however
Issue with crafting on free trial is you can't sell stuff you made for money, you have very limited inventory space, and some other reasons
as high end crafters use food to increase thier stats for crafts of which of course is made by a culanarian
god im trash at spelling
.<
No down side to joining them on the starter edition tho right?
Thats not the only thing 
love you too Vinyl
If you own the game then no downsides
Yeah because then you have all your inventory space and it's all fun
Why doesn't sentinel work in Haukke Manor? How am I supposed to pull without it? I keep getting dismissed because of how horrible I am at tanking without it 😕
!action sentinel
because you're synced to under level 38
Okay. Thanks for the help 😊
Shelltron should be unlocked at haukke manor
Aka all thw role action defensives
do you have trouble staying alive during normal pulls? it shouldn't be all that hard to keep you healed in haukke
if you use like 0 defensive cds then yes youll struggle
Hopefully closer to 40
I'm at 38
Item level?
I have been able to tank Haukke Manor without it, but is the hard version, well, harder?
The number on your character portrait in your equip screen
the other damage mitigation cooldowns should be more than enough
no, Haukke manor is closer to a remix of the normal dungeon scaled to level 50
yeah, all the hard dungeons are basically new dungeons
different layout and bosses and such
Copperbell Mines hard is almost identical mechanically
but the bosses are definitely different
where can i repair my gear with low congestion of players? if i try at limsa i dc
it's not like with trials
teleport to summerford farms instead of limsa
its right outside and you'll find a repair merchant there
I expected hard dungeons to be more like the difference between a normal trial and an EX one (maybe somewhat less big)
Nah
The hard tag literally means nothing
Just scaled up to that level and different bosses and routes
It could literally be called anything else
yeah they're more like just an excuse to go back to that location and have a new little side story
Its only named similarly cause it takes place in the same location as another dungeon
they're fun
They could just name change it and it wouldt mean anything
the tags that mean something are Extreme for trials or Savage for raids (also Ultimate but you're not gonna unlock that on "accident")
Copperbell Mines 2 would be a better name than hm
that something else would likely be less misleading
Copperbell 2, Electric Boogaloo
Probably but thats the convention they've gone with
for Trials and Raids and such the mechanics are similar for Hard/Extreme or Savage but greatly expanded upon
nowhere is this more misleading than in LCA
LCA?
Lost City of Amdapor
:)
I ran both versions of LCA and the normal is much harder than the hard
level up your fisher
Level up in that class
on your character
Ah lol
retainers can not outlevel you
It's based on your level on that class
so how hard is Amdapor Keep, Sirius, or Tam-Tara hard?
anything on the NA datacenters
is it just any under north
they're all located in the same place
Not really...they're just dungeons and dont do toooo much damage
As long as you heal now and then its fine
role doesnt make anything more difficult
Rotate cooldowns and they don't really hurt
Though pharos sirius first boss is super annoying
I am more concerned about mechanics than damage intake
Dumb crystal shit
then watch a video
I'm planning to farm atmas while doing the yokai watch event. Do I have to unlock the atma step for all classes (I want the relic for) and swap classes very time I get an atma (are they class specific)? Or can I farm multiple atmas on one class?
or go in as not a tank
Is the free version any different from the paid version until after heavensward on ps4? I didnt buy the game but i can still use market boards and stuff which as i understand is a p2p thing.
The starter edition just removes trial limitations
you can farm infinite atmas as long as you have the weapon on
Otherwise there's no difference
Awesome
with i110 I could probably get into it without annoying healers
@empty pecan did you receive the base game for free
Yeah i think so
then youre not a trial account
Then you're paying
gw Emu.
Okay i get it now thank you. Was just a little confused with all the different versions.
Can my 1070max q run this silly game
yes

it favors a good cpu
Woah why can't I pick hrothgar and viera
you dont own shadowbringers
where can i buy lvl70 poetics gear ?
Is this your first mmo? its not really dlc
@sick osprey rhalgr's reach
no
thats not a thing
cant have a male voice
voices are gender specific
Yes u can
no you cant
No you cant.
In my world they can
ok
Im going to stop falling for this obvious bait
what the fuck am I doing with my life
sure m8
Sheesh lighten up
Hmmm what about clan
Yes to whoever is willing to hold my hand every
Single. Step of the way
I appreciate it
nothing on character creation matters except starting class
Which do you suggest I pick
whichever one you like more
W/ regards to getting fast xo lol if it matters early at that point
you cant level grind to get to content
all content is locked behind doing the story
even your starting class doesn't matter as you can change after a point
and re-level
no
Literally nothing on character creation "matters"
Ok
just rp fluff
Like the most mattering thing is race technically? But its so insignificant. Like, the difference of like 80-100 max HP at level 80 (when we're all sporting 100k average and 170k on tanks)
then be a conjurer
I guess I'll just heal this turtle here
Okay, so, first and foremost in case you have pre-judgement based on other MMO's
Healers in FF14 are also DPS
they are expected to DPS, and have DPS skills
Wow cool
There is no such thing as a "job that is bad at solo'ing"
Yes last ff game I played was ff7 in d playstationz
at least insofar as basic content
no
Hmmm
but not in the traditional "vampire" sense
Ok I'm between being an Archer and the conjurer
do you want to be a healer or do you want to be a dps
Conjurer has long staff I like
I want to be healer please
With extra Mana on top
How do I become this person
be conjurer
Conjuerer goes into white mage
Ooooo
Its a advancement
Interesting
Ok so I'm a huge white elf w/ a huge staff w/ no clothes on for some reason
My adventure begins today
I hope to run into u guys soon
probably not depending on what world you pick
ditto
Remember to Dps as healer when in groups
How long will it take ideally til I become white mage
Lv30
And story and class questswill naturally get you to 30
Are the coins from copied factory unlocked now? i know the gear is unlocked but are the coins still one per week?
coins have been unlocked for a while
coins have been unlocked since 5.2
ah oh cool just double checking ^^ thanks
Is anyone in Aether
what raid jobs are most in demand
Dunno if I'm saying that right
People who play their jobs well are in demand
I would say i see statics recruiting DPS more often than Tanks or Healers lately, but that's purely anecdotal.
even then. They'll take good players over bad ones given the chance
so just excel at what you do and you'll get invites
Naturally people lean towards success
what is the best way to obtain the weapons to repair the lvl50 relic weapon?
well whats the definition of good, DPS metrics, clears, politeness?
All the above
ok
Yeah, but the nice person who greyparses has no chance. The asshole who orange parses does. Not all factors are equal.
ARR relic is crafting or something
Buy if off the market board or shout for a crafter
I think they put the damaged stuff in a vendor somewhere
Remember seeing that in patch notes
that was only for leveling dungeon stuff
100% depends on the group Bal
I couldn't give 2 fucks if you're the best dps in the world. if you're a dick then go be a dick somewhere else.
so how do I rank up my Chocobo?
They dps when not healing
But you are a healer
There's no dual roles
You are going to have to heal
Aww man no fluid class system
WHM best class ever
Hehe got that from cyberpunk ads
Focus on keeping the tank alive and Dps when possible. It helps if you on a mouse bind it so that when you do shift+scroll thru your party
That way you can switch between party and enemies easier
Or use the F keys
When levelling solo as a caster, how to avoid being interrupted while casting?
To target that slot
Surecast
there's no fastest way to obtain Slithersand than farming scrips right?
You dont get interrupted from attacks often unless its a lot of damage
Is that a job ability @prisma nymph
daily beast tribes can buy 3 slithersand per day
Role ability
Role ability, it’s in a diff menu within powers
Ahh level 44. I may be a while before I have that. 👀
||the dwarf beast tribes? || @leaden ginkgo
Nah should be there already I think
yeah the grind becomes alot tbh so it's nice to have the tribe as a side thing
and you get 6 on the day you level up your reputation
I do them daily but I recently wanted to move from facet gears to the new ones so :p
@prisma nymph it's there, sure, and I can see it, but it won't unlock while my ACN is level 13.
and I need a lot of stuff 
Oh yeah some of those don’t until you level up
Low level acn should focus on applying dots, let carbuncle some damage and move out of aoes when needed
at what level can you visit weddings
ok poggers
Thank you for the tips.
have someone ferry to you the chapel
when there will be a new patch?
4 ish weeks i think
5.31 in a few weeks, 5.35 in about a month...5.4 in like 3months+
Typically
If there's no delays

oh so this event is like 4 weeks long?
which event
the yokai one
No thats until 5.4
like 3 months
oh woops i meant like 4 month
Yeah Yokai is going to be here for a while so there’s no need to rush it
Just get a couple medals each day
I think you need like 1.2 a day at minimum assuming 5.4 releases at no delays?
could my third ta not hold any ongoing combos? or do i need to finish a combo to properly fit 8 gcds into the third ta?
you must've clipped your weaves between Shadow Fang and Hyosho
Assassinate has always been ass
^
Double weave with assassinate basically will clip you
or at least weaving with it second*
Can you get the Celestial Kimono Remnant from Tsuku through desynthesis of the weapons? I thought that was standard, but it's at least not listed on gamerscape and a friend of mine says you can't 🤔

I've personally never heard of them being availble from the weapon
Desynthing a crafted one may rarely give you the material back but the regular weapons no?
i mean, it works for suzaku and hades etc
so I wouldn't know why it should be otherwise for tsuku
Probably not updated on the site
Tbh gamerescape isn't always up to date on desynth
hey lil question. is it possible to transfer a character from one data center to another one?
yeah i kinda figured 🤔 thanks for confirming!
alright thanks for the answer :3
what do I have to do to unlock the option to join the rogue guild?
you need to complete your lvl 10 class quest, and if you didn't start in limsa as either marauder or arcanist, you need to get to the lvl 15 main scenario quest where it gives you airship access
oh okay gotcha yeah i didnt do the level 10 i kinda rushed for the airship
Do you guys have any good home world suggestions for NA(Crystal)? Im currently on Brynhildr, but it doesn't seem all that social. Don't get me wrong there are a TON of people on but most people are just kinda doing their own thing
Or should I just join an FC on Bryn?
erm balmung is pretty social but also lots of roleplay :/
i would suggest joining a free company tbh
most social interactions are going to be within a free company, or in linkshells
Any Bryn suggestions for FC's then? I joined the Bryn "Hub" discord and no one was there.
I looked up the FC's on the SE page, but I have no clue how to actually join them
I can't seem to pick up 'Minstrel from Another Mother' quest from the Minstreling Wanderer. I've completed MSQ and done the normal version of the trial. I've searched in completed quests and it doesn't show. I can't see it in my current quests either
is anyone online right now to invite me and a friend to a party? we are both on the trial version?
its not an actual "quest". its simply talk to the minstrel, that's it. thats why there's no completed quest @tired tapir
Might wanna specify a server there Colt. People can world transfer but its easier if they don't have to
But I don't see it listed in my 'High-end trials' section? https://i.imgur.com/UFk4JZY.png
How fast and complicated does the Dancer get at 80?
oh, my bad. we are both on ultros
Hey guys, new player here. Can anyone suggest me an EU server with a semi causal raiding scene?
"High-end duty"
Hey guys, new player here. Can anyone suggest me an EU server with a semi causal raiding scene?
Look in the High-end duty section
select the "high-end duty" tab at the top
Any EU server Zak
since Seat of Sacrifice Extreme is current extreme
Oh right, after selecting High-end Duty I needed to also change it to trials instead of raids. Okay thanks
Oh cool. Thanks, I'll just pick a random one then.
if this is your first character I would go with the preferred server
for the xp boost
Yeah it's my "first" ever char, will do that. Used to be one of the first beta testers for ARR but I never actually played the game lol.
Real life hit hard.
well you came back at a good time. They only this patch trimmed some of the new player experiance down to cut out a bunch of filler
Less quantity, more quality
Any idea when the "World is not accepting any more new characters" goes away from those Exp bonus worlds
when people get off the game
Oh well that's very nice to hear Silver.
goodie, so i dont need to wait for any maintenances
because its super early in the morning
but not for American data centers as its sometime in the afternoon
depending on coast
imma EU, its 23:30 atm
I'd give it a few more hours if you're willing to accept the loss of a little sleep
and you should get in just fine
EU goes to sleep early
probably will just go sleep and i usually wake up early
can someone on the ultros server invite me to the mentor/new player chat system?
if you transfer from a non pref world to pref world and have multiple classes level 80, do you still get the xp boost for classes below 70?
if you have friends there?
Ones with friends
im switching from aether to crystal but I don't have any crystal friends so idk
Then go wherever
true
Weird question, is it a bug that the Vierra hairstyles are stiff as hell ? like the hair barely moves
no
hey i'm a new player just asking if i can play as a viera?
you need to own shadowbringers
no because its dlc which means you need to the base game
can't just buy dlc without a base game
oh rn i'm just trying to avoid paying subscription but i dont mind buy base game and dlc
buying the base game means youll need to pay sub
alright thanks much for answering!
you get a one month free period but yeah like they said
you can pick another race on the free trial and get a fantasia for beating the base game
and then buy the game and dlc later and fantasia into a viera
that's a good idea
Hello guys, newbie here.
Just started to play the game coz heard a lot of positive feedback. Until now Im on trial version.
So have few questions:
- Im Eu, so what side and server better to choose? I'd prefer more populated. What is the name of such ones?
- I created Pal but for first my dungeon ive waited ~5 mins for a healer. Does this mean that healers are in more deficit than tanks? Who is less popular and more needed?
- What drives me crazy is Map. Its awful difficult to understand where to run for a quest if it locates on other continent (i guess?). For example I spent 2 hours to understand where to fly and go by boat for (something) Envoy quest line. (For 1st dungeon). Maybe i missing something and there is better way to navigate? I even hardly can understand in what region were located npcs in first town.
- Is it good idea to play on ps4 at all?
- Is it possible to move camera lock more away from character? I feel its kinda close and in mass fights (local map events (dont remember how they called, sorry)) i cant understand what happens around me coz can see only 2-3 mobs filled my screen.
Thats all for now, hehe..
Thanks for your attention and good luck :)
thanks for the idea! really appreciate it
how do you bring up job guides again?
job guides?
- doesnt matter
- 5 minutes is short and in my experience healers have faster queues than tanks, but both tanks and healers have shorter queues than dps
- use your big square map, not compass, and you can click your quest in the quest list to see where to go
- platform doesnt matter
- scroll out to move camera out (on controller its left bumper + move right stick back)
@minor oak
yes
because that's just !faq <job abbreviation>guide
yeah healer deficit most, then its tanks
FRENS! Where do I learn this dance? D:
Pretty sure that's custom to them
Pretty sure that's custom to them
@faint flare
@remote lintel thank you. But why server doesnt matter? I read that only raids were cross servered, not other stuff
hows this mount called
