is edencall armor better than neo
I am also curious as to that
edencall is the same
for the crystarium weapon
fairly certain weakness/brink doesn't affect it
How chat restricted am I in-game as a free trial player? I know I can't tell people.
I assume alliance chat is available now too
Is there a custom emote thing like /e or /me or something similar? I probably can't do that.
Seems to have less restrictions than SWTOR's free to play stuff, at least.
what are the best ways to earn grand company seals other than the duty roulette?
I was kinda excited to get into roleplaying in a new game again. Maybe I just won't be too quiet or too loud 
like a decent amount of seals not like 8
beware of balmung
there's nothing wrong with balmung
I'm on Mateus. That seemed to be where most of the people I know who play the game are.
stop repeating meme nonsense
@leaden ginkgo once you reach 2nd sergeant, you can trade dungeon/raid gear in for GC seal
Thought of putting that in my nickname, but my character's name is already pretty long as it is 
aww i'm one more promotion away aaa. ty!
for beast tribe reputation, you start as neutral?
Arr, yes. SB and ShB you start at friendly iirc
how do they know if ramuh will sprint N/S?
they go on North as they knew he was going there
tether = clone will spawn there
can I access to beast tribe vendors without MSQ?
there is tether behind in the ss and boss go opposite tho :o
I think you need to complete certain points in the MSQ to be able to start beast tribes in the first place
so the boss goes to the empty side
the clone does the dash while the boss does the duty action whatever thing, iirc
yay just finished the last trial on shadowbringer
What's the best job to farm fates for yokai
blue mage
Is there a way to go back to special areas like these? wanted to do a a gpose there again
new game+
In the case of that particular one, the only way is NG+
oh damn, thanks!
how exactly does the refer a friend work? If my friend gives me a code, do we both get the tandem chocobo?
where can i get the seeing horde axe recipe
im lvl 69 blacksmith i dont see it in my crafting
@wet cradle it is decent exp to get while you are waiting for your dungeon queue
I think it's a masterbook
thanks
how do i obtain this masterbook
Look for scrip vendor
okie
They should sell different master recipes for yellow scrip
I am not sure if there is a way to check in game
But on Garlandtools (website) you can search an item, check its recipe to figure out which book unlocks it
ty its master blacksmith iv
and ty for telling me bout that site thats very helpful bookmarked
Hrm...does RP, look to meld, and look for PF status affects you anything?
I know it’s just for search
So far I know “busy”
Prevents others DM
No, it doesn't have any affect like busy
Ah I see. So it’s just for letting everyone know of their activities
yep
Hello everyone. Started playing recently, currently lvl 57 dragoon at 2.55 patch msq. Got myself the Epic weapon gael bog. Should i bother to upgrade it, or will i get better one over the course of next expansions ?
not worth the time/effort to upgrade it. easier to buy ironworks weapon with poetics in mor dhona or from rowena representatives in the three starting cities
or use what you get from the msq
Can I get the link for the quest between stormblood and shadowbringers
@vivid bobcat If anything, the reason why you would get the relic weapon is for glamour

Okay, I bought a mogstation item from my steam wallet via my PS4’s browser(since my account is steam-based originally on PC). Been 2 hours and the item didn’t get delivered, mail has enough space. Is it normal?
mail can take a bit, especially if its an account bound item
aye
if you haven't received the item after 24hrs contact support
Okay, thank you
no
Hey 😄 I have been wondering, is it true that first name change on mogstation is free? I have Heard so but cant find any info about it on the internet 😄
just for fun
Ah, nothing special or bonusses given by it?
nop
Nice thanks
Are Ixal quests similar to the others in ARR, but crafting instead of murder? Or are there more differences?
@leaden ginkgo dont think so
there are crafting (and later on gathering) beast tribes in every level range
Ah, thats pity, I like changing names from time to time 😦
crafting tribes: 50-60 moogles, 60-70 namazu, 70-80 dwarves
gathering tribes: 60-70 namazu, 70-80 qitari
What are the best DPS classes?thinking about melee DPS or mage.. bu cant choose which one either xD
For DPS with more party buff, their personal damage is tone down just a tad
To keep everyone sorta on the same playing field
there are crafting (and later on gathering) beast tribes in every level range
@twilit arch but otherwise, same structure? One quest giver, rank up, two quest givers, rank up, three quest givers, finish
So jobs with the least party buff/utility would have the strongest damage
Which are those?>
ok now what after shadowbringer cleared?
Samurai and Black Mage
i noticed that there is added roulette but i couldnt access it because low ilevel and other requirement
Alrighty thanks, cant decide between these 2 now xD
A few jobs are up there too
if u use the aprty finder thing in a dead world, will it look in others eventually or do u just gotta wait?
tehee xd uwu xpxpxpxpxpxpxp
I do want to remind you that picking what you are interested in is way more important
yeah the basically function the same @slate crow
I like Magic a lot.. Sword combat with DPS and spear looks interesting too.. XD
Just pick those jobs
I was curious because have the regular guy that gives three quests worth 10 reputation, but there’s someone near him with one quest for 70 reputation
that said though, for expansion tribes you don't have multiple npcs
expansion tribes offer 3 dailes per day
with an extra 3 when you rank up
for ARR tribes, do the highest rep quests you can
To be specific, you get 3 bonus on the day you rank up and finish a beast tribe story quest
It puzzled me that there was an extra quest giver at the start.
ARR was very....experimental of sorts?
so its a bit weird, but hw+ they standarized a lot of thing
so unlike expansion tribes, ARR tribes actually let you pick up 9 after a certain point
ARR, mateys
Does RDM ever get to the point where you can do stuff by yourself? It always seems you need someone with you because it’s so dang slow
RDM is probably the most self sufficient class
RDM is probably the best solo class
I always do solo instances on RDM when possible
Is there a way to play the game where I move w/ clicking the mouse, like in other MMOs or MOBAs? Or is that not an option
anyone else having problem with mogstation
You're probably badly geared Viper
its almost 3 hours
that or you're hardcasting abilities you shouldn't be
@solar surge Press W. There's also autorun.
Yeah RDM Rotation is kind of unique and dualcast is not drilled into you from the beginning, so it may seem unintuitive at first
I do, was just wondering if right clicking was an option, but I take it by that response that there isn't xD
I mean, by the time the first spell fires off, I probably would have taken several hits. Doesn’t it interrupt your casting when you get hit?
!faq 50rdm
anyone else having problem with mogstation
@ionic hazel account wide items can take up to 24h if u are unlucky and when after 24h u didn't get it go support
you do not cast those abilities manually, Viper
you use dualcast to instant cast them from jolt
RDM has some of the highest burst damage potential so normally things are pretty dead by time they reach you
samurai doesn't have a base class
doesn't really matter which class you start with if you want to end up as samurai
that said though pugilist/monk does share gear with sam
Alright thanks
Is something wrong with mogstation? I ordered 2 hours ago it hasnt arrived. I checked my purchase history it's delivered to the right character
if it's a account wide item it can take a while if u didn't get it after 24h go write support
also can try to relog
Thanks. I did relog and refreshed delivery from mogmail. It's flower crown. Ill wait it out thank you!
It auto pay?
notifying you they are about to
yes.
if you have your card linked to your mogstation account
I dont remember making it auto
It's auto always
Last time i pay manually
Oh wait
reading the email
it means the sub has been paid.
means, it has autopaid.
hello guys, im currently level 24 but my dungeons available are from 10~15, do i just continue my main quest to unlock more?
yes.
Oh
you out level the msq by alot
Almost everything in this game is msq gated
so just progress through it and you’ll unlock more and more dungeons
oh okay thank you guys i was worried i was doing something wrong
There's at least 2 dungeons you unlock before msq is over thats not msq
Do cards and items stil drop in dungeons if you go unsync
Lv36 and 37
just became scholar today and loving my healing spells. What should I do for dps as a scholar? So far I play solo by spamming ruin while taking damage and letting my faerie heal me.
god
Just keep bio up and use ruin then when you get more for skills use them ovi
yes, TT cards and chest drops can be earned unsync @hazy flint
raubahn is so great
weave in enery drain(if u dont need to heal) keep bio up
we do stan one raubahn in this household, we do
#general-discussion @thick elm
Oh shit sorry i thought i was in discussion lmfao
Sub for 3month can get 2 seater?
do scholars have bio and energy drain? i know arcanists do. i must have missed those spells
yes they do
thanks
@kind eagle no
if you want to get a two seater mount, most of them require some form of Mogstation purchase, except for the Recruit a Friend chocobos
There's only one four seater mount that is earnable in game as well, and it requires completion of one of the Level 80 Savage Raids
Hey guys, how are you all
I stopped playing around 5.1?? And now I came back and I kinda want to level up my other jobs...
Are the daily leveling roulette and MSQ still the best now? And if so, what is the best way after I am done with these 2??
Thanks a million
!faq altlvlguide
For the most part this still applies
Wow, this game has so many players in the beginning area
dayum
Why is there no voice dialogue at all tho?
Like I'm playing mime with elevator music, which is a unique twist.
a realm reborn was made in two years, and had an extremely rushed development cycle
I think the second voiced scene is the level 15 quest right before you get airship travel
Nice
What is a realm reborn? @slate arrow new beginner area or smt?
I mean, I never touched any FF game.. this is my free trial XD
A Realm Reborn is the name of the base game
Starter towns have most activity normally
which came out in 2013 as a remake/sequel of the original FF14
the level 1-50 experience, basically
The entirety of your journey from level 1-50 will take place is A Realm Reborn, or 2.0
@hazy gorge most starter areas besides uldah is packed, not uldah cause its massive
But yah
Enjoy the game
Do 1-50 atleast
I heard 60 was Free trial cap, if I still enjoy it by then I'll get a few months perhaps.
Does dungeon queues take a long time
Cos I'm trying to do this sastasha and the average wait time is 12 minutes wtf
if u want to play sam like u asked earlier iirc u will need to buy it anyway since free trial can't be sam
12 min as dps isn't even bad
Dammit almost all the MMOs have this issue I just can't play DPS in dungeons :(
I mean
Dps is most popular thats a given
And then it goes between tank and healer sometimes
And why i tank
7 minutes and no one joined 
pff 7mins is nothing
My tank is only level 12
Arcanist is 20 :/
keep in mind, the status will not always display people as they join, because some of the people who will be put in your party are rouletting
basically you get a chunk of XP once per day for being put into a random dungeon
That's how they keep the low level dungeons from being abandoned
That is if the game lets me do one
you can try doing something else while waiting too

@vital ruin do blue side quests while you wait
level a gatherer or crafter while waiting or do fates or sidequests
Alright
hi all, is this the right channel to ask about things like companion apps n discord bots for ffxiv? hoping for a rec for an event scheduling bot for an FC discord if anyone can give me one
nod, many options -- hoping someone might offer a suggest they've had success with
not stoked about using Kupo Bot if avoidable
probably be better to ask in #general-discussion tbh or #not-ffxiv-discussion
I mean i suggest any bot with it
kk thanks @twilit arch
Just finished SB I have i430 gear atm where do I go from here I see so many options eden raids savage(prob not touching), tomes etc what should I be going for
wait what lvl are you
max..?
*the normal kind
Thats uh 480
@leaden ginkgo there is latest relic weapon quests rather simple for 485 weap too
For shadowbringers
from the ninja town or w.e right
Yes ninja town
kugane, yes
but you'll need to finish the stormblood 24-man questline
Which might be ded
Enjoy Q
If you dont want that just do
Seat of sacrifice ex for weapon chance 
That was my plan then i said uh no
it's not, just a blue quest
guys please help i wanted to unlock lancer but the guildmasters quest is in red and says that i require to have unlocked lancer to do it
you need to equip the weapon he/she just gave you
question for the BLM "JP modified" opener, it's just the opener and never repeats again, right?
he didn't give it to me tho i'm pretty sure
did u allrdy do the lvl10 class/job quest from your starter class so u unlock class changes
yeah i did
are you sure it's not in your armory chest, or if your armory chest is full, your inventory?
hi all, i want to ask about the growing time of Cloudsbreath. It states 120 hours (5days) that is real time day or Eorzea day ?
nvm i managed to do it
real time madoka
turns out i had accepted a long time ago but never went further
it was in my retainers inventory
thanks lads for the help lmao
ty for quick answer, gotta wait a few days then
Can I get the quest list for inbetween stormblood and shadowbringers
Thanks
You gotta buy em with the currency it gives you after the social vendor
abut where?
it's on the island that the fate took part at
Non where the event was
Where you did the quests and turned em in
There's a bar there
Do the fate again when its up
Where you dance at the bomb
You get em on completion as a reward

does AdvancedCombatTracker work with the current patch ?
Yes it do
how do i make it work then ? the overlay just says "please start combat" and doesnt track anything
Also you can abandon dungeon freely at that point, it's a big oof but it might be faster
You might need to update, my MT had it working for our reclears tonight
i did update
I don't actually use it much myself, but I can confirm it do be working. Maybe make sure you run as admin?
How hard is ucob with unsync and ilvl480+?
you can't unsync ultimates
so my friend sent me a refer code, how long do i have to sub for so she can get the 2 seater mount
Oh
dps checks are easier than on release but you still need to do all mechanics just like on day 1 back in 4.15
Wait so if I wanted to clear ucob, I would be synced to 70? Or have my 80 kit but ilvl synced?
Synced to 70
you're synced to 70 yeah
No lvl 80 kit
how do i gather collectibles? i have the stuff unlocked but i can't press the collectibles buttons somehow?
oh nvm
Lol
@green grail 3 months iirc, but recruiting more people is more efficient. I got my twintania and amber draught via recruiting 5 people.
@frozen karma ^
is there ilv sync on ucob?
yeah that
anyone know how to get ACT to work ? i followed this 2min guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcXGYdmYa6U but the overlay doesnt track my damage
did you add a firewall exception and run it as admin
i did run as admin, but not firewall. how do i do that
nvm i found it i think
done, didnt help
did you restart it
yes
I remember setting it up is a bit of a hassle
uhmmm
it works now
...???
i did literally nothing
except alt-tab to discord
¯_(ツ)_/¯

how to level up alt jobs (lvl 56 currently), except roulettes, efficiently?
!faq altlvlguide
ty
how do i end combat with a target dummy (so i can switch classes ect) ?
ty
What does doing Coils give me? Is there any story content in it?
I've already finished ARR fyi
in terms of gear, not much as you can buy dyeable replicas of the stuff from there on the marketboard. (Replica Allagan/High Allagan/Dreadwyrm)
in terms of story, it helps explains what happens at the end of 1.0 and gives characterization to Alisaie.
Okay, what the actual f.. I'm here.. minding my level 12 business.. someone flies in with a purple horse.. smashes the whole event up with dope gear and leaves in some bloody santa's sled..
And I can't use whisper in the free trial apparently.. weird..
Ah I see - do I have to do all turns to get that story content?
Yes, Copher
whats the command to put a coordinate in and it shows on the map ?
thanks for the info :>
<pos> marks your current position and lets people click on it to put a flag on their map
No i want the one where I put in x: and y:
can't do that as a command.
damn
it's taking me very long to download the update is this normal?
like in 2800 minutes it says
i can't imagine the server is still clogged
you can click on the main map to make a flag at that position. Not sure if it wants a double click or something but you may be looking for that.
There is no way to "search" a coordinate of your own choosing on the chat log
is there a way to download the update separately/not via the launcher?
Nope
How do people get them epic mounts n stuff on low lvl already.. and can you fly anywhere or only in specific area's?
Every area has access to flying now
Also they could be max level on one job but are just leveling a low level one
Also some mounts are account wide soo
Yes

That's epic.
/instance?
Wydm "macro instance"?
hey everyone, anyone have an idea when the next callback campaign will be?
Nope!
Dunno
ohh as in when im conducting a hunt, i wand to say move to instance 3 2 or 1
you have to interact with the aetheryte of that zone to change instances
so i guess it a random period instead of being on a fixed timeline?
i think <pos> links the instance if applicable?
undertood! 😄 thank you
Does anyone know what the ambient exploration theme is for puppet's bunker that plays when traveling between encounters.
Is it from nier or is it an ffxiv exclusive track?
Okay, what the actual f.. I'm here.. minding my level 12 business.. someone flies in with a purple horse.. smashes the whole event up with dope gear and leaves in some bloody santa's sled..
@hazy gorge also by this I assume you were doing a fate or something. You can't really destroy fate enemies by having good gear since you get synced down to an appropriate level. Though they could have just been playing Blue Mage
Well
He jumped in
Synced to lv 10
But I saw a guy with epic gear and dope mounts haha
just fly in
land
kill some lv 4-5 mobs
and leave again
lol
was sheltron the same before compared today? i noticed that it didn't use oath gauge
sounds like a blue mage if they did a bunch of flashy spells super fast
!action Sheltron
Nah, just dope equipment.. was a Ninja class I think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0TnCC6Fr5U This is the song I'm tlaking about in particular if anyone knows what it's real name is.
FFXIV Shadowbringers patch 5.3: Reflections in Crystal. This is the OST for The Puppets Bunker, the new 24 man Nier raid, in Final Fantasy 14.
Interested in FFXIV? Check out my other videos or stop by my Twitch!
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt8u...
Twitch: http...
It now blocks multiple attacks instead of just one
So Sheltron is good for adds now

ohh, i see. thanks!
How do people generally keep track of when boss FATEs like Formidable and Archeotania show up?
Do you think it's worth upgrading the Neo sword and shield for PLD over the relic? I'm thinking not because we're getting relic upgrades soon as well as the fact it's a very minimal upgrade
Personally I don't care about the 5 ilvl enough, but if you're running savages every little bit counts
Yeah I'm not right now, don't think I'll raid savage until next tier just too late
I bought the katana for my SAM Main just in case
But for that Phantasmmagoria too can upgrade lots of bits for other jobs top
Too*
To be flexible im thinking of getting a third job past 480 but no idea what
Any tips for what jobs should i play as newbie ?one that is not hard to control
Rotation
Easiest starter job would be like archer imo
my general recommendations for classes that start out easy are Marauder/Warrior for tanking, Conjurer/White Mage for healing, Lancer/Dragoon for Melee, Archer/Bard for Ranged, and Thaumaturge/Black Mage for Caster.
dancer's easy
Ft here
can't start as dancer
yeah, my bad didn't see op
DNC and MCH some may find MCH a bit too much buttons to press but dunno I found it second nature and really easy
But yeah later jobs
Im also on ps4
That holds no relevance
Controller is very well adapted in this game
I raid savage I know people who do ultimate on controller
Awsome
@patent citrus yes, they're only for one marriage
But i would adapt settings later to make sure your frames are fine
ok ty ty
Like if you're on old ps4 lower resolution and turn off all the crap you don't need to see when playing in a group
There's almost no advantage mouse has over controller imo, other than the niche use of being able to quickly select and raise healers from other alliances in 24mans
I think all of Japanese games prioritises console
Apart from that anyone who treats controller as a handicap is just dumb
First time in a cross play game i feel good
Except if you play astrologian. I've heard AST is painful on controller.
Plus you can set up extra inputs to have all your hot bars easily accessible
I get frame drops on ps4 pro on 24 man with an SSD but I do play on 4k so I could eliminate that issue
Not at all AST just takes getting used to
It's hard at first cause you gotta balance 3 things instead of 2
Like if you swapped from WHM
But you soon get used to it
Controller has easy access to 48 skills without toggling between hotbars, no class needs more than that
If you toggle it's 128 skills
Some skills are situational as well so they have less priority
48 how my hotbar is 16 I usually toggle between 2
You enable WXHB and Hold Crossbar in character configuration > hotbar settings
Yeah like on SAM I only need to change my bar when I'm on down time in a boss fight
For meditate and our closer
Forget name
Is it normal that I want to kill myself during the Titan questline for the feast?
WXHB lets you access two crossbar halves by double-tapping L2 or R2.
Hold Crossbar lets you access another two halves by holding both L2 then R2, or R2 then L2.
And knock back immunity actuslly
I'm starting to seriously lose my sanity.
I'll check it out. I've always just swapped between 2
Is there a way to check your damage ? I always feel like I'm not doing much
If your on pc yes
Ah
Console you need to ask a PC player you know
Is anyone know a good tutorial on yt how to change my settings and hot bar on ps
Or practice on SSS dummies then put that practice into play with mechanics
If you can kill Shiva consistently on SSS then only mechanics and floor planting will be your issue
Well, and managing uptime etc
Yea I play SMN and I don't know what I could be doing to contribute more
SMN is the strongest dps in the game in end game raiding well its close between 3. But how's your gear?
if you have parses uploaded from other fights, you can put them on https://xivanalysis.com/ to see what improvements can be made to your rotation.
A quick question, if i go for ranger mobs have to be close or they can do dmg even from far away
Threat meter?
The number beside your name while fighting an enemy
@heady orbit depends on the exact mob, some do ranged attacks.
1-4 in normal dungeons 1-8 etc
It's not 100% accurate for many reasons but it's all you can work with without a friend.
though really you don't have to worry about kiting monsters since monsters on the overworld will rarely ever kill you unless you are hit by multiple at once.

Ie if you're 4th on threat meter and haven't died and seem to be following rotation and keeping uptime. Your rotation is wrong
it's not always that simple.
i heard there is a special mount for maxing all class, whats the name of that mount?
!mount amaro
Of all the mounts seen in Norvrandt, naught is more ubiquitous than the amaro. Originally created by the mages of ancient Ronka, who selectively bred the flightless cama, present-day beasts carry the seed of their ancestors, which may manifest in the form of superior intellect.
A Life Of Adventure IV (Achievement)
again, if you have parses from FFLOGs that are somewhat recent you can put those into the website i linked and it'll critique how you played.
I would say if your pretty new, practice SSS then use threat meter to have a rough gauge of how your doing
I agree it's not the best, but it's what we got if we don't got buddies with parse
Where do i see my IL?
Hey so I just started doing pixie beast quests. What does the allowance mean? In my case 12. My understanding is I can do 3 quests a day
press c
Where on the character screen?
How do people switch classes to level and obtain cosmetics in this game?
@hasty reef correct, 12 is the total you can do across all beast tribes every day
oh i didnt know it was across all
Oh there lol thanks!
Sometimes you'll get 6 on one day if you rank up but that's not often
@hazy gorge
Switching classes is as simple as swapping your mainhand weapon or clicking a gearset action to swap an entire set of gear. You can unlock the ability to become other classes once you complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class.
Pixie is for 70-80
Alright thanks a lot @obsidian patio
yup, sounds bout right, trying to finish the main game as GNB after hitting 80 on DNC so I've been lving. Thanks all
As for glamour gear, that's an extremely broad answer since there's tons of various methods, along with the fact that any gear (besides belts as they have no model) can be used as glamour
do you guys think "Low IQ Gang" for an FC name could be bannable?
But if your 60-70 the exp is similar to the level your at doing the 60 beast tribes I believe. I haven't done them though
But mounts n cosmetic overrides are real money or obtainable in-game as well? @obsidian patio
the mounts and cosmetics in the cash shop can only be obtained from there.
and tbh, the ones in there aren't all that great for the most part.
Anyone with a really low IQ is probably too stupid to report anyway 😂
the NPC sets can't be dyed so you can't really mix and match with them.
Ahh
Should I get the Aether Oil or Allegan catalyst from the archmagus weekly quest?
Well thanks again haha, so flying mounts n stuff is in-game obtainable easy? @obsidian patio
yes, the game gives you a couple mounts completely free through the story
dope
Nvm I get both lol
even a motorcycle? ( saw it on the shop )
Yes
A turtle can fly by basically becoming a giant spinning jet.
epic
Flying around on a goobue looked funny
That's awesome
I've only got MNK and BRD to omni 80 but I seriously cba. Don't like either uff
Even though I basically have BiS for MNK
yep thats a gamera reference
also he's a standalone kaiju
How long are the expansions?
Does the duty roulette pick unfinished duties
it picks basically whatever pops first, it doesn't have much of a preference/priority towards duties you haven't done.
but if you're asking if it can or can't, yes it can
depends on the exact roulette
Expert I think wants you to have completed the duties at least once before you can queue for it.
unfortunately doesn't apply inversely and give me people who've cleared the duty when i queue expert
@solid estuary probably around a week or so each depending on how fast you can read through the cutscenes
The expansions have less quests, but longer cutscenes and dialogue compared to the base game.
how do I unlock lvl 80 roulette? It says I don't meet the requirement: completion of the following ???
Check the bottom section of Eulmore for a quest there. It might also be The Twinning which is in the Crystarium
I finished the ShB story from 5-0, and completed twinning and akadaemia
Is it possible to powerlevel other classes once reaching cap with one?
And is it possible to play on steam with an SE account?
Just beat the last ARR quest (beat ultima) and i noticed a bunch of stuff popped up. I want to finish most if not all ARR content before getting to heavensward. What are things that I should prioritise? Are there any quests specifically better for farming tomestones?
unlock the crystal tower series from the Outlandish Man in Mor Dhona (starting quest name is "Legacy of Allag"), as that is going to be required later on in the ARR story.
it also gives a lot of tomestones for going through it and unlocks a roulette that's both good for experience and tomestones of poetics.
Ok thank you. How do i unlock the extreme trials? I noticed i got "Hard" versions of the Primals, but i assume it's something different right?
extreme trials are separate quests. Garuda/Titan/Ifrit are unlocked as a miniquest series that starts from Urianger in the Waking Sands with the quest "Primal Nature"
He later on also has the quests for the extreme primals Moggle Mog, Leviathan, and Shiva. Ramuh Extreme is unlocked in Gridania from Scarlet near the grand company
And as a note "Hard" trials are basically the new normal mode for a bit until stormblood where they drop the term
they kinda half-dropped the term in HW
Extremes are where the fights are actually hard and require coordination and understanding of the mechanics if done at their intended level.
Ah ok. Much appreciated. I assume there isn't a way to make dury finder prioritise people with less/more experience? While i do enjoy havibg people giving me tips, i also like to learn content on my own, and my ARR experience with dungeons and such kind of made it seem that would be hard when a lot of more experienced people are around
that only applies to endgame raids in the raid finder
You can't use that for the duty finder in general.
can somebody help me? launcher is taking forever to update
estimated time is in the thousands of minutes
im thinking if someone can upload the contents of their patch directory
and ill just download them
it will be the 2020.08.01.0000.0001 patch
don't tell me i'd have to reinstall?
Is there anywhere to practice high level healing?
I mean, like for SCH
Like, to see the heal/shield amount etc?
Or am i practising with real people?
do highest level duties/trials?
hi! do you guys know if there is an updated desynth leveling guide?
There's not really any point to a "desynth levelling guide" anymore.
not after the changes
All items can be desynthed from 1 skill
and you can be max skill in all desynth types
Which path should I level my chocobo companion?
Healer first, then DPS, then tank.
Tank is actually useless but its got passives that will help its damage
@simple shore i see, thanks!
Yeah TL;DR just desynth everything you touch and the skill will happen on its own.
Except for ALC, because next to nothing is ALC type

since i dont keep much trash, i dont have a lot to desynth, so im crafting gear and desynth it, so what im really looking for is like a guide that will tell me if some items give more exp than others... to craft those
what happens if giga storm happens on e5s?
been trying to see how to adjust if someone fucks it up at the end..
Isn't that the enrage mechanic?
oh
You can't do anything about it
i thought you could adjust and survive
You can't even survive it on Normal
gotcha
I've just cleared first pull with a random ass strat that I've never seen before and with no markers. weirdest pf experience I've ever had
they did stormclouds not with the usual. i don't even know what we did
i improvised
and tried to not kill everyone
somehow we got it first pull lmao
cause party leader said he was used to an other strat
the no marker strat apparently idk the fuck was that
guess ill leave the client overnight and see
On PC or PS4?
I know some other people were having issues with the patch download yesterday on PC as well.
I don't know what the resolution was though.
@obsidian patio
Nice to know:
The Level 80 and Expert requires all duties in it maked as complete. The same case was with the L70 back in SB. (Mentor too, but that is different ofc.)
Hi, are FC's server restricted or datacenter restricted?
Server restricted
I have a free trial edition should I buy the more expensive complete edition or the Shadowbringers only
Thanks!
Shadowbrings comes with all previous expansions but you have to buy the starter edition first
This explains why I have It all unlocked
So the trial edition is not counted as starter edition ?
Nope
So I need to buy the complete edition do I get any cap level if I bought it not doing subscription first
Coz right now I am cap to level 35 I think
The normal free trial cap is level 60, but there are other restictions too for free trial. Max level is 80 atm.
No you can reach the max level cap which is 80
Doesnt matter when you started paying for it
What are the cons of getting subscription
Sorry just new player but I am enjoying the trial version
Nothing really as you have access to the full game
well if you haven't bought the game before, would recommend the complete edition..
Do I need to uninstall my trial or it will auto install those DLC
hmm so when you bought the product, you will get a code
The free trial client will update itself once it notices that the service account is a subscription one.
and once you entered, the game will auto upgrade to the product you purchased

and then you have to download the rest of the patch that you missed
I am not going subscription yet just want to buy the complete edition
30 days playtime like a 1 month subscription am I right
yeah
Should I just finish first the trial edition could I finish it at level 35 at all
trial = until lv 60
Trial lets you go all the way to 60
Thanks guys I know I am asking a lot just want to make sure I am doing the right way
i think someone pinned the restriction that the trial has
So you can do all of the Heavensward story content as well
!faq freetrial
right..
if im level 50, can i use glamour item even when the item is level 80?
nope
SAD
uuh so I just learnt that all the AST guides on cards with different effects are outdated... any hope they bring it back for 7.0? Im really disappointed now, I thought thats how it still is, but instead I have 6 cards that have the same 2 effects 😦
They are unlikely to change the cards back to the way they were before.
AST is currently the best of the 3 healers so its not likely
Yup, because AST was too OP before 5.0, it is still very good albit hard to really master it.
How are people not perma-complaining the main gimmick was removed almost entirely?
6 unique cards changed to 6 cards with 2 effects
Another question though seems stupid how do I know I have a free trial
Because the only real good card combo was an AoE balance or spear
On the Mogstation in your account information it will say what version of the game you have @polar magnet
Everything else wasn’t good to go for in raids most of the time
@polar magnet login with https://secure.square-enix.com/oauth/oa/oauthlogin.send?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure.square-enix.com%2Faccount%2Fapp%2Fsvc%2Ftop%3Frequest%3Dmogstation&client_id=ffxiv_mog&alar=1&lang=en-us
Official management site for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station.
and that means just removing it all? I dont get that logic tbh
Now people were heavily complaining about the changes to SCH when 5.0 first dropped
But everyone really liked new AST
Yup Wynne. And because players were too focussed on raid utility, disbalancing the game.
People always complain, it is normal.
You can’t rely on Bole always being there to help mitigate attacks, you can’t rely on Ewer/Spire to be there when people need resources
Also TP as a mechanic in stormblood really only existed during AoE or right after being raised
I have PS4 and IMac which is better to purchase
where do i find my" allagan tomestone of poetics" ?
Which ever one you play on more
where do i find my" allagan tomestone of poetics" ?
@shrewd mirage Default keybind on PC is Control+C
In the currency menu of the character tab
thank you ❤️
Thanks
How long does it usually take for a tank to queue for dungeons
As a DPS it took me 20 minutes
@vital ruin im a tank and it takes around 1 to 2 mins or less
To me: Healer is literally instant (unless you queue to specific odd trials that require long unlock) and tank is 1-5 mins
Does the queue time for dungeons go up or down as you queue for higher level dungeons?
DPS queues take so long cause the overwhelming majority of the player base is DPS
20 minutes isn't bad for dps though.
You even see "adventurer in need: DPS" in some level 80 roulettes
I usually wait like 8-10 mins
Tank/healer queues will always be quicker.
At this point why even do dungeons if you can't run a class u like
When I play as DPS I just do other shit while I wait
Does the queue time for dungeons go up or down as you queue for higher level dungeons?
@earnest wigeon It remains largely the same, honestly. Particularly for roulettes and MSQ-related dungeons.

Dumb question: can I give another player my excess yokai medals?
Sadly no
Your daily runs of dungeons, trials and raids
Is there like a daily quest feature in this game?
Give you bonus gil, xp and endgame currency
Which tank would you prefer between the warrior and paladin and why
What's endgame currency?
Yes. The roulettes and tribe quests are all dailys
There are "beas tribe" dailies but those give mounts and emotes mostly - so not really "epic gear" like in some games
All tanks are good and it's preference
How do you unlock the daily quests?
i prefer paladin just cause aesthetics
@earnest wigeon currency you buy endgame gear with when you reach level cap
Thanks!
like how they looks and their armor
Oh okay
One at a time lol
Ive seen people say the paladins are boring till lv 60
They unlock as you play
level 50/60/70/80 all have own beast tribes. Usually after you do main story on those levels you get unlock quests (
icon)
Warrior isn't hard to play, feels beefy and you can heal yourself really well at higher levels. Has a focus on damaging spells. Paladin is more involved to play and has a more defensive toolkit.
I used to be a PLD main and can confirm we didnt even have a full combo rotation until Heavensward
Paladin can also heal themselves but it's a GCD spell so it'll replace a damage spell or weaponskill which is bad, so you barely ever use it
are there more jumping puzzles like kugane (besides gold saucer)?
For Warrior it's literally free
Also, can someone explain to me the point of the macro function? Why would I want to use it?
There's a short one in Shirogane
warrior used to not have dps stance until 52 now if's comfy and/or brainless 
Once you reach Ishgard you can become a Dark Knight
Tanks aren't really healing focused and the warrior is the only one that can use it just as a freebee
Hit level 60 and you cam be a gunbreaker
I c
Also, can someone explain to me the point of the macro function? Why would I want to use it?
@earnest wigeon for crafting for example
How hard is it to get the tank mounts
You get them over time
hard or tedious/grindy? :p
Like the lion mount looks pretty sick
it isn't really hard just time consuming
Hmm
hmm macro, just for my auto collapse hotbar
Also, can someone explain to me the point of the macro function? Why would I want to use it?
@earnest wigeon Its mostly for cooldowns and advanced players. Macros in this game work bit poorly so its not recommended to use them for regular skills you use a lot
It's easy, you just have to play one single tank a lot
tank mount is mostly a mindless grind process. deltascape v3 or lakshmi ex farming is the norm to work on it
@earnest wigeon Its mostly for cooldowns and advanced players. Macros in this game work bit poorly so its not recommended to use them for regular skills you use a lot
@limber crypt never macro cooldowns
Ig I'll go warrior for now self healing is nice
Will go for dark Knight later
So like when I encounter an enemy I always apply poison and windbite to it. Could I make a macro for that?
Something like Dragon Eyes is ok to macro
NEVER EVER macro GCD weaponskills or spells
!faq macro
bard dots are on the gcd so wouldn't want to macro that
!faq macrogcd
Dont macro things you will be using constantly
What's gcd?
Global Cool Down
global cooldown
15 minutes and still no tank/healer 
GCD = Global cooldown. The 2.5 second (base) you see loading every skill
If you use Windbite, it puts most other weaponskills on a 2.5s ish cooldown
^
If it's affected by that 2.5s cooldown, it's on the GCD
Wait what are roulettes?
@earnest wigeon To be a bit more specific - once you've unlocked at least two of any given type of queueable instance content (leveling dungeons, for example), you will gain access to a "roulette" for that content which will queue you for a randomly selected instance within that category of all of the ones you've unlocked. Your first roulette in each category will give you a once-daily bonus of xp and currency including gil, GC seals, and (after level 50) various tomestones which can be exchanged for gear.
Not really
Not really
That depends on your viewpoint
dont focus too much on macros for now
Hmm, okay
It's useful in some niche cases but none of them affect bard
Macros are especially useful for crafting
for PVE it has only really niche uses and you gotta know how to use them
I macro some ogcd's to consolidate skills but that's just me (would have to log on again to see which ones) [Pitch Perfect and Sidewinder]
I'm playing on controller and I'm finding my hotbar cramped and I dont want to make a second hotbar page
The most useful function for combat macros is to apply /echo timers to remind you that long cd skills are available for use.
I'm playing on controller and I'm finding my hotvar cramped and I do t want to make a second hotbar page
You're going to have to sorry
i dont think you can get away with a single hotbar with any class
Get used to it
Oh, so it's common
Controller isn't really cramped
I see
it depends on your settings
Better to get used to it now than later
Yeah, for controller you need a minimum of two hotbar sets for basically every class.
^
What settings are good for using the controller hotbar?
Like for example, Dragoon has to pick a party member to buff alongside them. Here, macros are useful so you can make it so you just put your mouse over their name to cast the skill, rather than directly target them.
A handful of skills are like this.
To whoever asked about end-game currency:
-Tomestone Poetics = 50/60/70 "end-game" gear currency. You can pretty much get gear that might last you next 5 levels of next expansion (so to 55, 65..)
-Phantasma = lvl 80 end-game stuff. You get starting gear with it without paying GIL for neo-ishgard gear
-Tomestone Allegory = end-game of end-games. Weekly cap of 450. You get pretty much "best gear" with this (if you dont do high-end savages).
Even with my macro usage (yes, i know, its heresy, deal with it), i can only reduce my jobs down to 24 keybinds. That should give you some perspective on waht to expect.
Ohh that makes sense @limber crypt
Access 2nd hotbar by holding L2 and pressing R2 for the right side of the second page
And vice versa for the left
^ that being said you don't really need it. It's just a popular setting. I don't use them for combat and I just swap hotbars normally with no issue
Access 2nd hotbar by holding L2 and pressing R2 for the right side od the second page
this is incredibly useful
Also there is an option for double tap L2/R2
I think my only functional macro that isn't a timer is my Asylum macro that places it on my location so I don't have to mess around with the targeting reticle (on controller).
Hmm, I'll go through the controller hotbar options later
Due to this it arguably easier to play on controller
oh yeah. Ground-based abilities on controller, that's another thing you can macro
Doesn't affect bard either tho
Okay
As everything can be gotten down via muscle memory
It's easier to play on controller without those settings anyway :U
It's far from a necessary option but if it helps it's there
Awesome, thanks guys :)
Not really sure how controller muscle memory is different than KB muscle memory, tbh.
It's the same
Functionally it's no different
as free trial, can I join a guild?
No
No
Sadly no
No
the only thing I'd say controller lacks is good camera control
do I need the DLC to join a guild?
You need a subscription
No
And if I buy the game now, is it instantly activated?
Just own the game
You need to not be on trial.
What does the DLC bring? Just extra content?
Square Enix
As I have an Square Enix acc.
If you buy the game from Square it won't be added automatically
If you buy the game, you still have to activate it. The expansions give access to the rest of the story and a higher level cap.
Its MMO expansions
you'd need to put in the code on mogstation
Best way to level fishing? I don't have much money atm
What is mogstation?
When you add the code to your account you get 30 days "free" then you have to sub
It comes with 100s of hours of new content
The XIV account website Tutus
Mogstation is the account website
Best way to level fishing? I don't have much money atm
@shut kelp Fishing boat in limsa
So I can't just buy the fish lol
buying complete edition (presumably) unlocks majority of features (apart from getting there in game) and also means paying for subscription
Alright thanks everyone 🙂 imma grab a month of the game and the DLC
Game looks interesting enough to keep playing
I would use the free trial though
Welcome aboard
Just hope lv 80 doesnt take 3 years.
It's useful for just doing stuff for free
I really wanna join a guild in-game tbh @wintry chasm
arr (starter edition or complete) comes with 30 days. complete incluides current expension
Guilds are mostly social
Yea, I like social interaction in a game.
would also suggest using up the trial completely first
Also a place to ask questions to not alt-tab constantly.
If you play the MSQ like a single-player game it's no- oh fine
you can look up free companies here https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/freecompany/
You can have friends on friendslist trial - that helps a bit if you want to do the trial to end
Just saying - you'll get better answers here than you will in in-game sources
I cant whisper them @limber crypt
you can look up free companies here https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/freecompany/
Then again that doesn't really help
depends on which server you are playing
@hazy gorge As a measure of time - going through the entire 2.0-2.55 storyline without buffs of any kind currently takes 40-50 hours.
might as well just ask for a random invite
2.0-2.55 is 70 to 80?
No
1-50
Level 50
Like, getting answers in-game tbh is the worst way to learn. Because its not moderated in any way, so misinformation and nonsense spreads like wildfire.
Ahh, so start F2P is fine? I thought big guilds were a great part of this game.
Playing normally it might take a few months to reach level cap depending on how often you play
Guilds/fcs are more social if anything
hanging out with people isn't really a unique experience to XIV
Besides yeah main story is like, 80% solo anyway soo
and being in an FC is not required for anything.
I always enjoy the Raids, end-game PvE content and doing things with groups of players.
All of which can be done very easily without an FC
And chatting with a bunch of players here n there to do these activities with.
You gotta do the single player to get to the mmo part
yes
End game PvE is most commonly done in "statics" which are often not FC-based.
Just a bit of a warning then. The endgame raiding in this game is a bit limited. As in you get 12 savage raids and 2 ultimates per expansion
Are there powerlevel methods for my subclasses later on?
