Functions the same
Is there a use/exchange for materials like Carboncoat, Scaevan twine now?
Or I can just throw them away since they updated the tomestone system
No more use
rip my 10 stack of carboncoat ๐คก

is there a website or anything we can look at to check for patch cycles and possible release dates?
is teamcraft just a helper website, or it is something in-game?
is the only way to get Neo-Ishgardian gear to craft it?
@rapid compass yes or buy it on the mb
ty @remote lintel ! Time to dip into savings ;n;
is there a place other than the market to get glamour prisms if i haven't finished ranking up my gc? i'm one rank away, and all i need is a dungeon, but i dont feel like doing it atm
craft them
so about that..
pvp
i may not be of sufficient level
get someone to unsync teh dungeon with you
I've a full set on DRK, but I'm looking to spot-upgrade a piece or two to bootstrap myself up some IL
yorha gear and crystarium/augmented crystarium is pretty easy to get
you can also augment neo ish to 490 but its not as good as augmented crystarium
does that gear come from a tomestone exchange?
crystarium does
Sweet!
whats the kamuy drop rate on lakshmi?
15 runs in and 0 drops
gotta be really shitty
if i'm solo'ing as a DRG can I still run behind a mob for the positional potency boost?
Do I have to be a specific class to desynth an item?
Hey gamers! Slam me with a FAQ if I'm being a clown, but the free trial goes until when, exactly? The end of HW (3.0) or the end of 3.56?
Also: you don't have to currently be a crafter class to desynth something! The only requirement is that your crafter class is high enough level <3
Thanks! What level does that class have to be?
how long has this congested stuff been in the game for zones?
cant even join an area
is there anything i can/should be spending phantas tokens on if i dont want any gear
Level 30! Desynth level gets EXP desynced from the class after that, I believe tho
There'll be a quest for it
is there anything i can/should be spending phantas tokens on if i dont want any gear
@lilac flume some of the materials sell quite well on the marketboard
Do you unlock desynth through a quest? I cans find the option
hm, ill check it out
Yep! I forget the particulars atm, but I know it has to do with mutmix* Funky little materia melder goblin
i just ran out of money. what can i make money off as a 42 blacksmith?
Random glamour question. Is there a way to glamour no clothes haha except pants
Hey gamers! Slam me with a FAQ if I'm being a clown, but the free trial goes until when, exactly? The end of HW (3.0) or the end of 3.56?
@lone tree until 3.56, so just before stormblood starts
Sick, thank you!
@coral stirrup The Emperor's New gear from Tataroga in Mor Dhona
is it possible to get more than one of the gnb coat?
No
Thanks mate ๐
@silent pike not in your inventory at the same time
If I desynthesise a Seiryus Lance, I get a guaranteed Seiryus scale?
no
so i could get one, put in my glamour dresser, then get another one?
yes
lit ty. will that make it so that I can dye it?
@remote lintel is there a way to know the percentage of success I have to get a scale?
Isnt maintaince at 10pm gmt?
very low
no @silent pike
pt
Haha ok thanks @remote lintel
To get the dyeable gunbreaker armor you need to complete Memoria Miseria Extreme
yes
ah, thank you silver
yes
got it, ty
hey for Its Probably Pirates i need to do a dungeon? but ive been in queue for almost 10 minutes, anything i should be doing?
10 minutes is kinda average
specially for a dps
if you're NOT a dps. then thats a bit strange
Im at Volunteer Dragonslayers MSQ rn, y'all think I can reach Heavensward before maintenance?
What's the best use of phanta tomestones atm?
dps is a popular role throughout just about any MMO, hence queue times reflect it..tank/healer wont have long queue times because of demand
embrace it now or swap if you cant imo
is there a web page that puts all the missions in order, I just beat the first chapter, Chocobo can fly now and Still can not seem to get any further in getting this lily system to work, doesn't show up as a trait i have learned, and no quest poping up. kinda a kick in the pants as of right now.
54
oh a reference, if you go into your actions list Lolosu, at the bottom is the Job Gauge Help or whatever
click that...lilys generate every 30s while in combat
have you caught up on your job quests? is there a quest under the one in the top left MSQ tracker?
youre on a lvl 50 msq
yes
nothing did I mess something up?
so new ishgard wing is still a few weeks away?
nope, keep progressing MSQ
okay
@true wyvern you need to get to heavensward to unlock your lvl 50-60 job quests
you're fine..just outleveling the msq a little bit which is normal
do job quests when they popup and you'll unlock it as you go ๐
yes you need to get to HW
in the ishgardian restoration diadem, leveling a gatherer consists of farming the same plants over and over again, is the leveling process similar to crafters in ishgardian restoration?
how do I get achievement mounts when I compelte the achievement
old gridania x 10 y 6
basicallyt
Any way we could change our characters' default standing stance?
It feels weird that my character always stands chest out and proud
you mass craft the highest lvl item you can and turn them in
no but you can set the idle animation delay to 0 secs so they automatically change pose when they stop moving @crude marten
How many kamuys/dogs are there?
a few hours
6 or 7?
a few hours?
you would level all your crafters together
@remote lintel okay I'll look for the idle animation toggle
less than a day yes
uh
@crude marten character config > control > character
Geez I've never seen a character editor better than dragons dogma, and its been years since that!
7, not counting the final kamuy @deft quiver
@remote lintel thanks mate
@true wyvern SE later changed it so that you just unlock your abilities without having to do job quests anymore 61+ (except for 70 capstone ability). But for reasons they decide they aren't going to remove the restrictions for HW lvl 51-60 abilities.
do samurais ever weave hagakure for any reason?
or is it just to reset to clean openers in between pulls?
SE generally doesn't go back and alter content they've already released
Short version: you realign your Sen so you have exactly one when you need to refresh your higanbana
5.3 was really the first time they've committed to going back and changing things
Long version: check the guide in balance's discord
does an ARR story skip potion also give you Crystal Tower clearance now?
Its basically so that you dont get into situations where you Midare but Tsumbae is like 5s from coming back
yes baneric
@dapper shadow now that answers all thank you!
Can i craft something, put in glamour dresser, and sell it? or does it become spiritbound?
it will bind to you
rip

is the maintenance in an hoour?
yes
Why is post ARR so long
Also is there postgame on every expansion? Or just the main story?
yeah i'm wondering that too ^
do sprouts get paired with sprouts more often? in dungeons, i mean
like when does heavensward start exactly?
yes, there is postgame on every expansion.
why: because they had certain number of quests quotas they felt they needed to hit back then, though with 5.3 they've trimmed down ARR msq
It's a way of tying up loose ends, and preparing for the next expansion
and yes, every expansion has post msq, though they are significantly shorter in quest number than ARR
I'm using this to track my progress...some quest names may be spoilers https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
so i can see when HS starts
post arr is now 80 quests
and some quests aren't as multi-stepped anymore
Maintenance in 30?
spam !maint in kupo bot spam to your heart's content
๐ฎ ty for all the help!
Why is spawning fates in Lower La and West Than so terrible?
Does your profile become corrupt if you dont log off before maintenance? Wondering why ppl are cautious and logging off lol
Other games, ppl just play until they get booted
no
Theres just not a lot of stuff to do before maintenance usually so people log off early
Where would you buy like non market board fish
did they remove stun from ninja in pvp?
like theres vendor fish at the Bismarck but is there vendor fish anywhere else?
I vaguely remember something like that on ninja o.o;
are there any training dummies where they aren't like
jammed into a corner
like i go to bentbranch, but you have to be careful about not like
falling off a plateau lol
if you want to practice your positionals that is
uhh
if you look around the housing areas
you might eventually find one in someones house
||Is puppets bunker the newest nier raid?||
yes
yes
will it just log me out at maintnence time?
Hey I'm trying to buy the collectors edition like it says here:
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/88dc959aae42bd76e74427b7f4351d34d715822d
And going through the mogstation it only lets me buy the base with the expansions at 60 bucks
yes you will be forced off once maint starts @fringe lotus
Complete Edition is the base + expansions for $60
@severe tusk Do you already own the game?
Collectors' Edition upgrade gives you all the optional items that come with each Collectors' Edition, normally $20 each for a total of $80
but you need to own the normal version first in order to make use of the upgrade
The sale is on upgrading an already owned game to the Collector's Edition of the game
oooh. so I'd have to get complete + collectors
What happens if I donโt log out in time?
You isekai like in overlord.
$40 is a decent deal for the Collectors' upgrade but make sure it's something you're actually interested in
You're forced out of the game
as it's basically just cosmetics
that's all that happens
question; if i buy something off the MB to guse for glamour, to i have to keep it or does it add it to my glamour options forever
Surprised I havenโt been booted yet.
like does it save everything ive looted into a glamour option
no you need to register it to the ingame glamour inventory
you have to keep whatever you want to use as glamour
its not like wow or gw2
Question about the Yokai event, if you have a minion out and are in the right area - do you get a regular AND a legendary medal? Or only one of them? (for the sake of the question, let's assume there's a 100% drop rate)
that said you can put items into the glamour dresser to save some space, but its limited to 400 items
whoa wait whats that lmao
if you have the watch on, you will get regular medals. if you don't have the watch on, then you only have a chance at getting legendary medals
you'll get regular medals with the yokai watch item equipped and legendary medals with the minion out
thanks Kaelwryn, so I guess it makes sense to try and go for legendary at the same time as regular medals.. I suppose that saves some time
as long as the minion is the right zone
ya, if you still need regular medals for the minions
have the watch on while you're farming fates for the legendary medals, since regular medals are 100% drop rate
cool, thanks
another question - there's an item needed to turn items into glamour (I think) - where can I get/buy that? I seem to have run out ;p
easiest way to get more glamour prisms is to buy them with grand company seals
though recommend holding off on doing so if you're not sergeant second class yet with your grand company
oooh, that's a great use for grand company seals
since once you're that rank or higher, it'll be way easier to get seals by turning in old dungeon gear
I uh, redeemed all of my 10k grand company seals RIGHT BEFORE i realized you had to spend seals to rank up
lessons were learned
so about how long is maintenance?

5hrs~
@true wyvern I was planning to hold off before I learned about that stuff, but I realized it was capped at 10k and since the yokai event requires fate grinding - figured I'd clear it
not really looking to meta this game, just having fun in the world and trying to keep up with the events
makes sense to me
its definitely not the end of the world, and if you're going to be doing yokai
probably easily cap again
for sure
but for gc, its strongly recommend to prioritize promotions namely for expert delivery
what is capping at 10k D:
GC seals
oh, just promote yourself
;p
#latetotheparty ahah
I'm max on the lowest tier, in the GC.... I've been neglecting the GC missions.....
(did everyone log out as a good citizen, or wait for the server apocalypse to strike?)
well, you need to hunt monsters wanted by the GC. It gives you seals per entry too, so beware ๐
i logged, once in FFXI it messed up my file in Beta
in your hunting log, I mean
...hunting...log.. <makes notes>
ah, I will
yeah, I just discover that last night, trying to find a way to spend my 25k seal lol
after rank up, seal vanishes
yours are capped at 25k? maybe you're at a higher rank
i have a 40k cap. i need more. i cap it too often.
buy glamor prism or those items that you can sell for 300 gil?
or 100 Sultana paintings
as a new player it is kind of annoying that high level/skill players go in and trounce a FATE before I have a chance to contribute enough
yeah, they deal flat damage
so while you deal 20 damage on lv5 fate, they hit 300
They're extremely strong in content they access to
FATEs have level sync, so everyone gets brought down to the FATEs level
And they keep all skills when synced
that introduction quest that unlocks blue mate is.. something
Opposed to.losing them
mage~
Blue has a number of instant death, flat damage skills and a plethora of aoe skills
!action Missile
can they devour? ๐
Deals damage equal to 50% of target's current HP.
Chance of successful attack is low. Has no effect on enemies whose level is higher than your own.
A magical imitation of warmachina technology, this technique allows the user to fire a barrage of aetherial missiles. When efficaciousโwhich, bear in mind, is not guaranteedโit sends a shock through the foe that appears to resonate more the greater their vitality.
Enkidu / Battle in the Big Keep
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 250.
Additional Effect: Increases maximum HP by 20%
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Restores an amount of own HP equal to damage dealt
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions.
No longer merely the domain of savage beasts, this technique, when reproduced by the blue mage, involves not the devouring of rent flesh, but rather heals and invigorates its caster through the absorption of aether.
Caduceus / The Binding Coil of Bahamut T1
Decaying Gourmand / The Lost City of Amdapor
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 1
Its a skill
Not usually
No
lol, there should be a Quina race in this game so I can play blue mage with them
There's currently an event going on that requires people to grind FATEs
Its side content if anything
I see.. maybe that's why the quest that introduces it is so weird
Seemed like a joke almost
and BLU is, as you've observed, incredibly efficient at grinding FATEs
Because it kinda is but isn't
Blue is EXTREMELY strong at what it does
However
What it can do is limited
It's basically its own game
blue mage is a skill-stealer, they go around watching monsters' special attack and learn them
Like blue can clear dungeons in 5mins
i think some attack is in dungeon?
But they cant que for dungeons and need pre made groups
i'd love to mess around with it, seems fun - but there's already so much content
sure is
Blue is enjoyable, as always wish there was more reason to whip it out
And just general interest
I'd really like them to just add blue mage support in Deep Dungeon and Eureka when we get to that point
!maint
That command only works in #kupo-bot-spam
is playing the main quests the fastest way to get to level 30? I find the that I get lost a lot trying to find npcs. I do really enjoy 4 player missions. I want to play as a scholar healer but now have to play as dps arcanist ๐ฅ
hey where in the discord does it say when maintenance is finished? >:D
do !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
use the !maint command in kupo bot spam
oo thank you
@wraith heart for your first class/job msq is the bulk of your exp. not only that you unlock most content in the game through MSQ anyways. you don't have a choice of skipping them
You need to be level 20 in the MSQ anyway to access Scholar
Regardless of your character level
When you do a Yokai Fate, do you need to do a minimum amount of damage to get a drop? Most times I am not in a party, just following the group
you need at least a silver medal of contribution
joining a party will definitely help
You and your party need to contribute a certain amount to the FATE
theres a notification on the launcher that says 50% off collectors edition upgrades but its not showing for me
Can you put the Moonfaire Bomb Balloon into the Armoire? Can you re-buy them from the Calamity Salvager?
server down?
Yes
you think they will do something about the congested zones?

Anyone have a good guide on making mouseover macros?
For Yokai Fate as a free-trial solo, I do it on my healer (well, the only class I have now, lol):
-for quests that escort NPCs, wave of monsters will appear along the way. Just spam heal on the NPCs when they appear, so that you earn a lot of hate. Easy gold.
-for quests that require you kill a number of monsters, what you do need is not killing them. You only need to make sure you hit them once. Throw a fast spell (I use Aero) and change to other target immeditely, let the crowd kill the tagged monsters for you.
-for give-npc-the-loot quest, ignore monsters unless you can AoE. Just scrap whatever on the ground. 10 of them is enough for gold.
-for boss fate, give tank some heal occasionally (don't need to be in your party) while dealing damage.

main end around my dinner lol
To unlock samurai, do i need to have or complete all the expansion msq and be level 50?
no, you just need to have stormblood on your account and lvl 50
@timid silo just be 50
no msq required
not sure what you mean that question...Do you mean the duty roulette?
squadrons/trusts? no its same exp
squadrons = A.I. teammate?
Same exp, but trust do things slower
in technical term, neither of them are AI
we are not so advanced that we use AI as toys
how do i recruit squadron members
every challenge log entry will give you a chance of recruiting someone
so i should be checking everytime i complete 1?
what if i complete multiple before checking
then is it wasted
I need to have the stormblood expansion to unlock samurai right?
you can have multiple members showing up
oh then im just unlucky
i completed a lot of challenge log entries but none showed up
why theres maintenance today?
hotfixes
there's an item your GC sells that increase the chance of recruitment
do you know what item its called
i tried looking for it before and couldnt find it
Is it true last cutscene before you get into HW is like an hour and a half?
no its not that long
i tried looking for it before and couldnt find it
@copper pasture squadron enlistment manual
i dont know how long it is exactly though
more like 20 minutes i feel like
an hour and a half could you imagine lol
o someone on another discord told me it was that long, maybe they thought it was another cutscene or something lol
nahh no cutscenes are that long in the game
spam esc and watch them later in the inn
the ending credits of 2.0 (not 2.55 leading into HW) are over an hour and a half long, if you watch the entire list of character names from 1.0
it's in the Guinness Book of World Records
is ARR story self-contained and Heavensward opens a new storyline, or Heavensward continues ARR?
it's all continuous
always has been
arr is already a sequel to 1.0
what's maint for?
hotfixes
so like nothing
...
depends on how big the fixes are
I've just finished the MSQ, is there an up to date guide on gearing to 500 ilvl?
theres so many items/recipes/currencies in place for gear at this stage it's confusing
not talking about crafted gear btw
do normal raids for 480 gear, then ex trials for weapons or relic quest, alliance raid for 490 piece per week, buy crystarium gear for tomestone, do savage raids for 500
not sure if there is a guide about it, but ilv500 gear is given by tomestones exchanger at eulmore in change of tomestones of allegory (crystarium gear, 490 at first but 500 if augmented) or it's also dropped as weekly loot on savage fights
right now I'm getting my SB alliance raids done so I can get my relic weapon going
and nier raids
I guess I'm just confused about the tomestone stuff and how time gating works etc
You can also augment the crystarium pieces with the nier raid coins
Or with nutsacks
so 450 tomestone per week max, and only one loot per savage floor per week
does anyone know how to access the 50% off expansion upgrade sale?
!faq savageloot
the square store sale has already ended
the square store sale has already ended
@twilit arch ffxiv client and the website say that theres an upgrade sale for collectors editions though
It was also worded strangely. It was a sale on the CE items. Not the expansions themselves.
the upgrade sale is for upgrading a standard account to collector's edition, which is under additional services
you can augment one piece of cryst at week right?
oh i meant, since the 2 coins are week limited
augumenting Yuuko
1 coin from copied + puppet
Technically you can get more augment items in a week if you do hunt trains seriously
If im a free trial player and want to buy the game, do i buy the complete edition?
since there's no cap on how many you can buy with nuts
yeah if you want everything in on go, duey
Thank you!
its roughly the same price, when you consider conversion rates
can i be a scholar once i reach level 20 msq?
Finish your level 30 Arcanist quest, then finish the quest Sylph Management, which takes you to Gridania. Then, yes, you can unlock SCH after that.
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
is there any way to get notified/emailed/alerted in some way when servers come back online?
its just ~3 hours i think
thanks
but it could come back on sooner
it is very slow to get to level 30 arcanist and i dont really enjoy magic dps
Are you doing your story?
hmm
yeah i am doing story, been playing for a day now and still not level 30 arcanist. it is hard for me to find the npcs and navigate new areas
there's this but idk if they post when things go back up
I see
i find myself walking around the field a lot and very slowly
if you don't take sidequests along the way, the map should only show you the main quest
Well... Once you have access to leveling roulette in your Duty roulette (first page in your Duty finder, impossible to miss)
You can use your Arcanist there to earn daily bonus exp
is it worth it to teleport all the time or rent chocobo?
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
what are you finding difficult about finding npcs?
if you click on the quest it shows you exactly where the npcs are
Well, the map is "hidden" until a new player discover them
So if cheeky is doing new quests
It is just confusing for them to know where to go specifically
it shows where they are but not v obvious how to get there
So there is a lot of exploration going on
you may be a bit tight of money in like first 15 level, then you will forget that you have a skill named Return, cuz teleport fee is neglectable.
limsa can be a bit confusing i understand that one ha. but if you use the aetheryte itll help cut down the travel
visit all teleport points in a big city will unlock extra teleports directly to the city's gates
I use my discounted teleport locations, my free teleport, my return and if all else fails i use my tickets (something you earn after you unlock hunts though GC ranking up) to get around
ok i will! i noticed that airships are a bit cheaper but im not sure it is worth to save a little in game cash for IRL time lol
nah. as mentioned youll be teleporting around in no time. just need a little but of money first
how long is the mogstation sale going on for and how often do things go on sale?
you get enough money thru msq so you can teleport usually
ok hehe im glad that miney isnt an issue in this game
i'm thinking of holding off moving from freetrial as long as i can but if mogstation sales are rare and i can get a bunch of stuff i might dip in early
Depends on you time restrictions, if a few extra loading screens will bother you or not also depends on wether or not you havea computer or ps4 with a ssd or not as well
well its not an issue for teleporting. there are som things it will become an issue for, but thats for later
mostly glam and housing
i m on OG ps4 that is about to die lol. waiting for ps5
ssd definitely cuts down on load times
Around what level is the first dungeon? I'm just at level 10 and itching for some group content ๐
iirc around 15?
MSQ level 15
around lv15
"It's probably pirates"
follow MSQ and it will give you unlock quests. You will also see some optional dungeon unlock quests as you progress MSQ
It comes pretty much immediately after you visit all the other cities
I will never go back to playing a hard drive ever again for FFXIV the amount of time a SSD cuts down in both loading from zone to zone and mobs especially a hunt makes it worth the costs ( highly suggested upgrade for anyone)
i am sure it is a huge upgrade, tho probably not the best time with the next gen, cutting edge consoles coming out v soon. hopefully ffxiv will be playable on the next gen consoles
its much shorter for first logging in
So I'm level 60 about to get into HW tomorrow and there are 3 things I realized I haven't been doing: levequests, guildhests, and ranking up my Grand Company. How important are those to be actively doing?
they wont unlock anything super important
Thanks guys, looking forward to it ๐
cannot install FF14 on my SSD even with 60 GB. It asks for extra space to etxact install files :shy:
guildhests give small bonus exp the first time you do it per job, and theyre really short
@solid sinew why are GC's important?
Also what even are levequests I don't remember doing a single one
you can buy Nanamo paintings
levequests are mostly good for leveling gatherers... or were...
The Grand company unlocks the squadrons to do dungeons with the squadron to level alt jobs and also access to a lot items you can buy and the hunt a very nice thing for getting aethertye ticket for free teleports and upgrades for gear mount/minions and so forth
Something you should not be overlooking that it also unlocks pvp for leveling as well
theres a couple of feature locked behind grand company leveling, like squadron dungeons and easy access to items, but the best is the pushups/squats/situps emotes
Hmm okay, what are some basic ways to level up GC?
ask a npc and ask for promotion
Before you hit a certain rank to turn in gear you get from dungeon for seal is to do fates in the world or leveling roulette as a adventure in need (usually a tank or healer)
I play my main and 4 alt characters so i have done the same song and dance 5 times (actually more use to have other alts on another server)
is there a way to disable that noisy loot-get during dungeon run?
it startles me when I try to focus
either disable bgm or system sound I think
whats the new update for?
hotfix for end-game contents
ty
Hotfix more than endgame
ใปDaily bonuses were not received for the Daily Challenge: Frontline in the following areas:
ใThe Borderland Ruins (Secure) / Seal Rock (Seize) / The Fields of Glory (Shatter)
Frontlines back, eh?
Gotta say im curious about that Deltascape thing tho
Big fix for the pvp roulette the amount of experience is on the same level as prae for msq roulette
Its like another leveling roulettw
Hello everyone Can I unlock Samurai class in free trial
no
I'm wondering if friggin Forced March was getting stuck on people, that'd be funny.
it a stormblood job
no. You can only have astrologian, red mage dark knight and machinist
Red mage is a stormblood job as well
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require ownership of the Heavensward Expansion and the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Quest Unlock Locations: Dark Knight - Pillars(13,8). Astrologian - Pillars(15,10). Machinist - Foundation(8,10).
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Quest Unlock Locations: Red Mage - Ul'dah(14,17). Samurai - Ul'dah(9,9).
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Quest Unlock Locations: Gunbreaker - New Gridania (11,11). Dancer - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12).
Thank you everyone
That entry needs updated
It is technically not wrong
"require ownership of Heavensward Expansion" is no longer accurate text
Iโll get to it once Iโm able to.
I can also clean up the faq a bit since the text limit for faqs got increased
blue mage ๐ฎ
I dont think BLU was technically an expansion job was it?
in the sense that it never required the expansion afaik
Yeah
It was added in stormblood, but not sue it actually requires stormblood to access only to have finished the 2.0 story
Only requirement is : Complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon." and be level 50
So i dont think that qualifies
old starter edition that didnt include HW could get it
Without savage, I can only get better gear than neo ish with Crystarium, correct?
yes
SoS EX weapon too
or seat of sacrifice ex for weapon
how do i make my chocobo blue
Feed it fruit repeatedly
There's whole detailed guides on choco dyeing because it's so complicated
Go here and pray to RNGesus

It can take several attempts to get it right
not really that complicated
If you have levekits or Ishgard materials prepared, yes
or if you're on a preferred server
how long does it take to dye
18 hours iirc
has to be stabled that whole time yes
6hrs now
gonna save it for a rainy day then
Oh did that change recently?
does "visit other server" give you extra XP on preferential server?
dakaalim you should just go to teamcraft and see if its possible with your gear
use the crafting simulator
no @plain python
I was thinking: Does this game have Zombify status?
yes, in weeping city
Oh yeah, I forgot about that
Yes, in sunken temple hard. Get hit by zombie wall 4 times and you're going zombie and attack your teammates. There's also a sort of zombie status on another dungeon where it makes the fight a DPS check iirc
Does healing harm you when zombify?
No
i dont think that's technically "zombify" is it?
Fair it's more becoming a mummy
Weeping City is literally called Zombify iirc
Oh k, I thought being Zombify makes you vulnerable to healing
I swear there's a zombification status in a dungeon. Pharos Sirius maybe?
Because in the previous FF installments, Zombify status makes the opposite being healed.
Nothing like that in XIV, Hikari
zombification is basically like confused
Trolls would purposely heal zombie players then to kill them
once you've gotten full stacks, you start attacking your teammates
Also a question about tanking. Say, a fight spawns multiple adds, but they're too far away from each other for eclipse to pick them up, like in sunken temple hard or Shiva ex/unreal. Am I supposed to run around like a headless chicken shield lobbing them individually?
you shouldn't need to lob/provoke for shiva ex adds though, assuming your team isn't being stupid and spread out
I just cure everyone.... thats how I know if the tank can do their job
is there a way to pin point a map coordinates (like input the x and y) instead of pixel hunting on in-game map?
Cure usage in this game is for when you have nothing else
and Cure (as in Cure 1) should never be used again once you have Cure 2
Curing everyone instead of aoe healing is gcd inefficient
medica II when im not caped
@gritty oracle side note: unless your party members panicked and start running away, ideally they shouls gather together with other party members and attracts any enemies you didn't aggro to them
You can just walk in and AOE
To aggro them all
What are rdm melds?

Okay thanks
do chocobos get xp fron doing MSQ?
no
Chocobos only gain exp from killing mobs, challenge log completion that is specific to them, and training at stables
Yes
oh wut
they're basically only useful as healer tbh
i was right the whole time then..
theyre not great dps or tanks but chocoregen/medica never fails
very nice
they're decent dps
is there a way to have him as companion permanent instead of constantly buying greens
Nope
even w/ level 1 in healing, chocobo comes in pretty handy for me, whereas all my other points are in tanking and it's rare it can steal aggro from me
yeah tank tree is the worst tree
you should only put points into when you've got the other two maxed out
i was thinking of maxing out his healer tree
oh really
nice im on the right path then
Tank tree's only value is giving passive bonuses to damage stats
The actual abilities are bad
they don't do enough dmg to actually take aggro from you consistently
plus they aren't really tanky enough to tank
question about minions, i've gotten so many from the yokai quests and ive been looking into them. Do they have boosts? When i check the minion hotbar editor it shows some stats on the minion
that's for the lords of verminion mini game
i also recently started 2 a few days ago
Those are related to to Lord of Vermillion which is a minion battle thing at Gold saucer
ah ok
there's no use for them outside of the gold saucer
except the legendary weapon medal thing right
yeah for yokai specifically
some other niche shit
like needing the alexander minion to spawn the S Rank in Yanxia
I mean... the main use I have for minions is that I want something cute following me around <_<
is there a summoner class? i somehow need the validation of people so bad that it crossed over into my xiv gameplay in the form of virtual companionship
i want lotsa pets following me around
....yes there's literally a job called Summoner
though summoner generally only has one pet out at a time
Starts as arcanist
awe man
And yeah while it has multiple pets it's a one at a time dealio
i guess it's to minimize load from servers
can summoner LB have an additional pet out?
No
Think it's just their design
or does it have to be the same pet
Anyone know how long the current sale for mounts is going to last?
so realistically, only chocobo and minion are allowed
Nah lbs are mostly reskins, there are small differences but none straight up do something outside of its role lb
@frank goblet Thursday, August 27 at 12:00 a.m. (PDT) is when it ends
Thanks
hey, i know this has probably been asked 4 billion times, but ive looked into it and cant really figure it out. could you guys recommend a server for a new player? i understand that the preferred worlds are Brynhildr, Coeurl, Diabolos, Malboro, Sargatanas. coming from wow, interested in raiding next expac ๐
Then pick Aether or Primal DC. Sargatanas is your ideal pick because its on one of those DC's and is preferred.
question about flying mounts: even if i buy a mount and while having an unfinished MSQ line, can i use them still
๐
Avoid Crystal DC if your primary objective is raiding.
gotcha. my old characters were on goblin so it seems like thats a ripper. thanks
All mounts fly
how do i do this
Flying is unlocked on a per-zone basis, with the exception of ARR zones, which are all unlocked simultaneously by completing the 2.0 MSQ
HW+ zones will require you to collect Aether Currents from around the zone as well as complete certain sidequests
For other expacs, you need to find Aether Currents. 10 are found in each zone in the field, four are from sidequests, and one is from finishing MSQ in that zone.
and the MSQ for that specific zone
Hi,is worth to play that free trial on ps4 ? And what class should i go for
Exactly what do you mean by "worth"
Its free. that's literally the antithesis of somthing you can label as "worth"
If combat and gameplay is good
We won't know if it suits you
the only thing you have to lose is time
So what class u say?
What do you wanna do?
That's up to you.
There's literally no such thing as a bad job in FF14
blue mage?
You've got two tanks, a healer, and like... a few DPS classes? (With one available starting at 10 I think since you can't start as it)
Is it 10 or 15 before you can take on more classes?
10
10
Lvl 15 msq is opening up the other two starter cities
omg i have a long ways to go then
There are 17 combat jobs in total
are all the NA data centers hosted in the same area?
(I think it is 17)
Yes, California
fuck me that's annoying ๐ฆ
So i have to watch alot of yt videos
feel like they should be central for NA :/
is this a reliable website to track server maintenance? https://arrstatus.com/
While you could have just... Play.
Don't worry, the game doesn't punish for making mistakes.
You are free to change job
Play everything on one character
There is no race stat advantage for a certain job
No race restrictions on what you job can play
what are your guys' favorite class to play
Tank
is there a website that shows server population size?
yea that would be a helpful website
is there a website that shows server population size?
@wanton shadow why would SE let people know population of active player
gilgamesh keeps kicking me of the servers
There's a semi recent spreadsheet about each server pop? I think
because it's useful info for picking a server o.o
We only have a good guess on which world is crowded
@heady orbit Well, you can play every class in the game on one character. In the free trial, only four unable to be picked as starting classes/jobs:
-
Rogue, which promotes to Ninja: Requires any ARR starting class to reach Level 10. Your best bet is to pick Marauder or Arcanist, since the Rogue's Guild is in Limsa Lominsa and is the only area you actually can't go to or leave from until 15.
-
Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist: Requires the completion of A Realm Reborn and the Main Scenario Quest "Coming to Ishgard." These jobs start at Level 30.
Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer, and Gunbreaker are unavailable in the Trial, as they require the purchase of Stormblood and/or Shadowbringers to be able to be used.
We will never know the estimated population size
well I more so mean data center population
Same thing
It is private info
Side note: purchasing Shadowbringers automatically includes Stormblood
There is no need to buy Stormblood (you can't anyway, unless you try to be a smart ass and buy one from key reseller)
I remember there used to be events that crossover other FF characters like Lightning. Are they similar to Yokai events which only available for a some time?
IIRC the Lightning Strikes event has very little chance of coming back. All the items from it are available on Mog Station.
Also, Nier says hi.
Oh, yeah
the variety of job options is quite overwhelming. I believe the trend OG players are taking is to take every brand new job and completing it asap then move on to the successor class
or successive class
Well, only the ARR classes have successor jobs.
and you want to upgrade to them right away
And that happens at 30
the job shares the experience of the class
Jobs are basically the class with a stone on them
A better way to put it, imo, is classes are neutered Jobs.
So all "Black Mage" Experience is actually Thaumaturge experience.
It's why Summoner and Scholar share the same experience/level as they share the base class of Arcanist.
hmm interesting
Blue Mage
Ummm... What?
Arguably RDM could be as well because they're known for their epic hats
The spotted gear is bottom tier, and canes don't have nothing on rapiers, especially if you can't even have a level 80 cane
@leaden ginkgo Question, is this your first MMO?
no. but i'm i never let previous experience limit my expectations for an incoming
did u see my deleted question
is that y u're asking lol
Nah.
More so I can ask about classes you played there to steer you on a decent starting class.
hmm im currently playing THM, right now at lvl 40
I hope you mean BLM
im pretty much a baby in ffxiv world
Because your THM should become a BLM at lvl 30
yes right. BLM
uh is ffxiv really more fun than it looks in yt videos?
it's a clusterfart of effects and like 2 keyboards of commands
You don't look at the command when you play
At high level
You glance at them occasionally to track cooldown time
@sharp spire yes. it's the community that makes it so enjoyable. It's what separates them from a lot of mmo games
so it's just not watchable
you can just turn off effects so ehhhhh
just play the damn game Waals
we are very aggressive... In feeding new players a lot of info, and clearing misunderstanding
no time to play yet
Hello. What was the command for controller huge guide here?
The wha
!faq controller
Thank you
hey i was reading the ffxiv website on Yokai event, and it says here i can get access to the whisper-go mount
but i never got that mount!
you need to talk to jonathas once you've gotten all of the minions
or once you've collected 13/17 weapons
He's in Old Gridania. You can also grab any other achievement rewards from him.
but yeah jonathas in gridania is how you get achievement based rewards
Speaking of
Its says can get a flying mount from the event
Is it usuable even before the normal way you get flying
oh ok so, i have already unlocked the BLM stik from Golden Saucer guy. I just need to unlock 12 more?
@potent lava Nope, you need to unlock flying in any zone before it can.
you won't be able to fly with them until you have unlocked flying
can anyone validate @potent lava 's statement back there coz i'm hell-bent on getting my first flying mount
All mounts are flying mounts.
im tired of ruunning
There's no such thing as a "flying mount" vs. a "not flying mount"
Even grounded mount-riding is faster than running
Ah okay
That part starts in HW Msq territory right
Nope!
2nd 24 man of ShB, where is the safe spot during || Maneuver: Refraction Cannons || because every time i see it i try to learn where it goes but it never seems to be quite right.
As of 5.3, flying can now be unlocked in A Realm Reborn areas!
w/ flying u don't have to worry about terrain tho
You need to clear the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" and then you can fly in all ARR zones.
For Heavensward onwards, though, it's finding Aether Currents.
Well looks like im still a ways away from that, only just finishedr the Manor
Thanks anyway
Our free company has a small house, but we want too buy a large house. Can only the fc leader buy the large house to move the fc there?
anyone with the rank that has permission to buy housing can buy it, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the fc leader
Only people as a rank with the privileges of
Purchase\Relinquish Land and Hall Construction\Removal can move the house
Alright
hey question is there a way to disable the tool tip when hovering over things or even better delay it?

no way to delay it, but you can disable it in character config > ui settings > general. untick "display action help." for skill tooltips, "pop-up help" for item tooltips. Can also set it to be in a fixed position rather than at your cursor.
ok that would be awesome thanks
is book of refulgence once a week drop?
yes
so do i have to collect ALL yokai minions and then unlock 13/17 weps from one of them?
What about book of icono?
same thing for that and Furor and Fulmination
@leaden ginkgo You only need the weapons mount-wise if you want the glowy whisper mount
ah gotcha
if you're fine with the not-glowy whisper mount then only the minions are needed
Btw is crossplay?
should be plenty of time to get all minions and weapons?
Yeah, crossplay is a thing
yes, Steam, Windows, Mac, and PS4 players all play together
Cool
yes. there is more than enough time to get all of yokai watch done
its going to be around for 3mos give or take
assuming 5.4 doesn't get delayed or come earlier than expected you can get all 17 minions/weapons by only getting a few tokens each day
ive only gotten 1 minion and 1 weapon. but havent gotten flyinng yet, so im w8 for that till i do the rest
not sure when i get flying, im lvl 50 atm
you get flying for the base game zones after completing the level 50 story quest "The Ultimate Weapon"
think my MSQ is lvl 45
yuup
not sure if its for everyone, but people in my free company said it took them 13-15h to get everything
Glowy Whisper mount
yours glow, wtf? my whisper mount doesnt
@obsidian patio so my MSQ needs to be lvl 50 and have done ultimate weapon to unlock flying?
@brave ravine theres 2 mounts i think
you get a normal whisper for 13 minions, and then a glowing one for 13 weapons
and then the couch for all 17 weapons
Is the couch two-seater?
nope
Or is it just a very big one-seater
more of a jibanyan beanbag
it scales in size according to race, so it's really only big on the bigger races
how many medals per successive minion again
i have 9 currently owned and 20 medal
s
all minions past the first one cost 3 tokens
the newest pin in this channel basically has all the info about the event
i find it hard to read that pic xD so blurry
open it up to get the full size
still blurry for me
thats better for me
Hey people what version am I supposed to buy to get all the expansions if I already bought the starter edition?
How to send msg at chat via controller? I understood how to open chat, how to text via virtual keyboard but how to actually send?
@high badge shadowbringers
collector's edition only includes a few vanity items and a mount
@minor oak pressing X with the chat box targeted should send the message. As a tip I do suggest investing in a USB keyboard to use for typing
dungeon opens at 20 right?
your first dungeon is at level 15 in the story.
after that i can dungeon already?
leveling dungeons for the most part are unlocked through the story
oh okay thank you
What are important items that are gained from raising gc that arent manuels? Im in middle of raising it right now but, have no idea why im doing it since i dont plan to touch craft or gather
They're an easy source of glamour prisms, either for personal use or selling on the marketboard.
and the crafting materials at the higher ranks can sometimes sell well
Oh i didnt know they sell glamour orism. Thanks for the info
how big is the patch?
i dont remember exact, but it was 100-200mb
okki, smol patch 150ish
"In the instanced dungeon the Heroes' Gauntlet, Trusts would cease to take any actions under certain conditions."
Anyone know what "certain conditions" was?

I think I actually saw it once
I believe they can get confused on the first boss and break
well, could anyway
i cleared precisely one pack in HG with trusts and then remembered why I don't
do you unlock flying through msq?
I ordered a mount and costume from mog station about 24 hours ago. The costume is in my mail but the mount is not, should I do anything or just wait a bit more?
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
account wide things like some mounts can take a bit longer
wait on it
@balmy hinge
24 hours definitely should've been long enough
oh yeah i didn't see that
hmmm im still far out in arr msq
that is true
clear out your mail of any old letters and try the request button one last time. if it doesn't work then I suggest sending in a support ticket through the mogstation
Hello, I am a fairly new player. I just hit my gatherer to 80 and have been checking the clocks for collectables. There seems to be a few of them that do not spawn in the locations. Do I need to do anything special to view certain nodes or meet certain stat requirements? The node in question contains "Ethereal Cocoon".
is the free trial limited to 14 days only?
no, there's no time limit
like 3+ years ago, yeah
you need to buy folklore books from scrip vendors, it's kinda like unlocking recipes for crafters, except it's unlocking nodes for gatherers @wild trout
Thank you so much!
if i bought the game using my free trial acc, does in upgrade it or it resets progress?
I haven't played PoTD. IS it okay to go through all of it solo? Or is it more of a challenge to do that?
you keep progress
the 15 days are from leveling up on a preferred server
and its not recommended to do potd solo if you're using it to level
What if I just want to progress?
used matched party
applying a starter edition or complete edition code to your account gives you 30 days
are there additional inventory slots from some other sources other than chocobo saddlebag + retainers?
Your armoire can store all achievements gears, and most if not all seasonal event stuff
Then your glamour dresser can function as a temporary gear storage if you are that desperate for space
What are achievement gears?
yo quick question. im soloing born again anima. if im doing the quest as a bard, do i have to do the dungeons with bard? or can i do it on a different class to get the quest done??
if i buy the complete edition then resubbed, i should still have access til shb right?
iirc, born again anima requires the weapon to be equipped as you exit the duty
gear rewarded from achievements
so uh, that kinda answers your own question
Like the full set of gear for hitting 50 on a job, or something else?
Are the crafting materials dropped from basic monsters (those you see on the road) worth keeping? at all?
which continent is gridania at again?
