you choose before you make the toon..at the top
im 11-20
If you dont and you wipe then you dont
So I just grind fates for this yokai event?
Yes
so you chose Spriggan inadvertedly.
You picked the server when you made your character
Its what you pick after creating the look and stuff
but spriggan is a place right?
Yes
Was the main ARR msq the only ones that got boosted xp; just noticed after ultima wep the xp is back down to four digits
Post patch quests always give low xp
how far do i have to progress in the crystal tower quests to unlock the MSQ?
All of it
all
you need to complete the final quest "The light of hope"
When is crystal tower actually needed to progress btw? Im still at the exiled woman part
Some point during post arr
It would be best to do it in arr
from what i'm reading yeah you cant progress beyond post-arr without it, havent done it personally yet tho since the changes
this might be a dumb question but, if you can visit any server as long as you're on the same datacenter, what would stop me from joining a group on a different chaos server, or would that generally be okay?
If I don't pay my subscription fee, can I pay in a week or two or does it only give me part of the time? That is, if I pay in 15 days, do I only get 15 days of game time for my monthly payment or do I get a full 30 days. I was thinking of taking a short break to get through my backlog of books and get ready for Rhythm of War!
@jade lava You can do that. Duty finder and party finder are already cross server and cross world groups are a thing.
@jade lava The main drawback is that you can't join a free company on another world. Otherwise you don't really have much restrictions other than being locked out of retainers, buying housing, or getting married on another world
ok thanks guys!
How do I hide the pet bar when I active my pet?
@lime geode You can only pay for a month minimum so if you want to take a break you're free to hold off until you'll have a full month of time to dedicate again
I get that- sorry my question is confusing. If I let my subscription lapse and pay again in two weeks, what happens?
Perfect
whats the point of repairing your own gear if you have to buy the mats to repair it?
what is a static group?
what is a static group?
@jade lava players who meet up and learn/progress savage/Ultimate contents
repairing your own gear lets you go above 100%, so you can have 199% @shut kelp
ahh
Is it possible to auto progress voiced cutscenes ?
thanks
plus the mats can be gotten pretty cheaply from gc seals
Yes@leaden ginkgo hit tab during a current and it will let cycle to auto
Aside from the 199 condition, imagine exploring a new map and your gear broke, and you haven't unlock flying/teleport for the region yet
... Can you repair inside an instance?
@little swift im a console pleb
I don't remember if you can or couldn't
you can
You can repair in an instance
not really necessary now
I am not sure what the controller command is for auto cutscenes
since your durability is only affected at the end of the instance
press Triangle or Y i guess for auto-advance
is there a personal storage chest somewhere in the game?
My instinct say Triangle
i can't seem to put anything into my airmoire at the inn
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
while the cutscene is playing, then you can press left/right on the dpad to adjust the speed
Yup worked , thanks
Np
Why the fuck do people use buffs pre pull in e6s?
same way to turn it off btw
Armoire is for seasonal gear + some achievement stuff
Why the fuck do people use buffs pre pull in e6s?
@crimson wind what job?
what do people in raids mean when they say "pull"?
MNK, DNC
aggroing the boss
also can you sell the minion from the new dungeon
big pulls are multiple groups of enemies
Monk need to get their chakra

Dancer ideal opener need Standard Step buff to be active
I don't know enough to answer that
might make things line up better as they have multiple untargettable phases in that fight
no idea tho
/\
Even then... I still don't see how it is worth giving up so many buff time
6s ahead of pull
not sure.. you'd be better off asking in #endgame-lounge most likely a DNC main could clarify for ya
does I need to reach lv30 of a craft to desynth its particular items (like armorer desynthes armors)? Or I can desynth at whatever level once I unlock it?
You need lv30 on the crafter
is it beneficial to still keep ruin 1 on your bar, in later levels?
Its your main damage
how do you use those Determenia from desynth?
Between cooldowns
Rng
Its rng
Crafting recipe
I assume you meant to type Demi Materia
is it beneficial to still keep ruin 1 on your bar, in later levels?
@shut kelp just to generalize, don't remove low level skill
dungeon sync gonna screw you hard 😄
Well if you are a summoner the heal skill is basically useless since it heals for so little
You don't just keep pressing your lvl 76 and lv 80 skill
And that's it
It is 3-4 exceptions
Across 17 jobs
even some with cliche uses such as Repose have use in say..Eureka or whatnot
With 20-30 skills per job
sleep etc
does scholar learn ruin 3?
No
No?
Scholar get Broil
No but ruin 1 turns to broil
ahhh
Become broil mage
hawt
ye, i noticed
Ruin III (when upgraded from Ruin) still have the same dynamic with Ruin II
2 cases
Stacked group you are in, and you need a lot of heal right now
Stacked group somewhere else, and you need to heal them a lot right now
^^
Cure III is radiated from a target you selected
Which is not like Medica or Medica II, they always radiate from you
small radius though, so unless target is stacked with others it is just a huge mp waste
Akh Morn mechanics are perfect for cure 3 etc.
Stupid question - other than ShB A Ranks, what are some ways to get single-digit amounts of Phanta
because this is bothering the shit out of me :
Yes
Character Configuration - Display - HUD (?)
There should be an option to just view enfeeblement inflicted by me
Or something
can I do the same for party buff?
No
is there a lvling guide for every crafting job?
You do the ixal beast tribe quest?
well, they are the fastest to do, so yeah. At least until I unlock their mount or something to spend my gil on
is there a lvling guide for every crafting job?
@molten spruce yes, ffxivguild (website) has it
help me leveling up my goldsmith too
thx brother
Another more cost effective way would be doing the Ishgardian Restoration
does that tell me how make my way to craft superior stuff like neo ishgardian\
That cost time, but a lot less gil
?
It is an leveling guide
Not endgame crafting guide
But they probably have one of those too
idk how crafting really works xd
im getting into it i heard it prints gil lol
About how much extra damage do you take from a vulnerability stack?
Unless you want to tell me that you just press whatev with your combat job
i do not hahaha
The basic of crafting is: while making sure you don't hit 0 durability (durability is lower every time you used a skill), you use various synthesis and touch skills to improve progress (you need 100% to finish a craft) and quality (the higher this is, the higher the chance the finished product becomes High Quality, HQ for short)
Does MSQ Roulette (Castrum / Praetorium) count for Wondrous Tails "Dungeons (Lv. 50)"?
You have 3 stats:
- craftmanship determine how much your synthesis action add to Progress
- control determine how much your touch action add to quality
- CP is your mana. Using action cost CP. CP is refreshed to the max on a new craft attempt.
can crafting share skills like gathering?
like, I can toggle mining node finder as a fisher
They all have the same skills, so no reason to
The crafting materials that cost 20 Phanta each
which emote do you use to sleep on plush cushion minion?
Compare the prices of them and buy whatever sells for the most.
None, that’s people using the /playdead emote from the mogstation
The pose changes for each race
i told him we could use it to sleep on but now we actually need the emote
i thought doze just did another when near it
/doze*
/doze only pops you onto a bed if you're near one
are triad cards from card packs obtainable by fighting NPCs? Or they are exclusive to card packs only?
@obsidian patio do you know the damage taken increase from a vuln stack?
Varies on fight
@half kraken asked and it didn't get answered
It’s fight-dependent, yes
Sometimes it’s like +10% and sometimes it’s like +50%
Same thing with magic/physical vulnerability debuffs
Is anyone willing to just chill and chat with me while I try to level up some of the classes? I'm a new player!
are you free-trial players?

moogle is your friend, lol
where is level 60 crafter gear?
Namazu beast tribe sells level 60 crafter gear if you've unlocked them. Otherwise there's 61 gear from Kugane and Rhalgr's Reach
im having a lot of trouble killing Misers Mistress unsycnhed as summoner level 66, any tips?
whats the music playing in the aft castle right now in la noscea
its beautiful
@shut kelp Idyllshire splendor vendor people or the sundry splendors in ishgard
@stiff osprey it can get pretty active, yes
Hypercharge windows are very hectic
asked in game and its called answers
the festival one?
can you turn a personal home into a house for the FC you own?
Is 2x Archer the best DPS for Squadrons?
@paper torrent nope
You’d have to relinquish ownership of the plot and buy it again as an FC house
@granite swan not as good as they used to be. From what I’ve heard Thaumaturge does pretty well too
Same with arcanist
Ah okay, thanks
Sad
Hey guys, I wanted to ask about slidecasting and stutter casting, and which one I can practice on dragoon
im new
so these terms I've looked up but kinda wanna know if its even useful for dragoon
what's the thing that upgrades crystariun weapon
Crystalline ester
Accessories

how do you move glasses up like this
/visor
i have 800k gil and just unlocked the ability to get an apartment, should i do it?
Basically, am I ever gonna need a lot of gil cause i find myself never needing any tbh
if you plan on doing crafting you need ~3m+ capital
What's the least populated server in the game?
if you plan on doing crafting you need ~3m+ capital
@latent prism restoration is free tho
You need gear though
Depends how much you wanna buy and how much you wanna do yourself
if you want to do savage raiding then you would need food and tinctures. which are ~200k per 99 (I use about 99 potions every 2~4 weeks and 99 food every 4-8 weeks)
But i still am in like level 57 MSQ, that stuff isn't for a lot later right? Could possibly recoup that money
And i Dont really care much for leveling crafters
Also, neo-ishgardian armor (buyable raid armor) should cost about 650k for each role
for most people their gil-sink is raiding
You don't need pots
Pots are only for optimisation and pushing enrage
You should invest in food though.

but yeah that stuff is a lot later feel free to get an apartment. 500k isn't expensive at all
I just learnt that there is a macro that combine /bm (battle stance?) and /sit to enable glow on glowy weapon even when sheathed
Is this a known issue and SE just choose not to fix it?
to ping your Data center is just "PING <IP Address>" right?
yes
I'm just getting an "request Timed Out" messege.
@warped nest yes it's a thing when you unsheathe your weapon and do an emote real fast it will keep glowing
did you put ping in lowercase
Nah I capitalized it
!faq datacenterip

whoops
Oh ok so the reddit post I was looking at was just not giving me the right thing
71ms all across the board
So why do I keep getting 90Kd and having loading problems when in dense areas?
Like WAY bad loading problems
I just finished the quest for cure 2. Is it a straight up replace situation, or is it a sidegrade you use alongside cure 1 due to the varying MP costs?
I just finished the quest for cure 2. Is it a straight up replace situation, or is it a sidegrade you use alongside cure 1 due to the varying MP costs?
@thorny bluff spam stone, use cure II on tank when needed
cure 1 2 and 3 are different things
for different situations
also cure 1 is pretty useless
2 is basically a straight upgrade to 1 except it costs more mana
So you generally don't use it from this point onwards, then?
Until it sticks you in a pre-30 dungeon? :p
Alright, just wanted to make sure, thanks.
@crimson wind do you not use aero as well, or do you just spam both when you're not healing?
Use aero
Always keep your dot up, but only use aero when it's about to run out
Use aero on mobs while the tank pulls more
Wanted to make sure, since some other MMO instant Dots that healers have are generally worse than jsut spamming the damage ability with a cast time
you put a dot and spam dmg
All dots in this game are dps wins to keep up
Am I going to want to focus on putting Aero on the entire group of mobs, or just 1-2 important ones?
Also once you get holy, you want to spam the shit out of it in trash pulls
a few important ones
Just aero 1-3 mobs
Got it. Thanks for all the responses. Still rather nervous at my performance in instances.
I wanna be the tank who refuses to use tank stance in a group when Cerb heals :p
or the tank who turns stance on and off, on and off
or the tank who turns stance on and off, on and off
@scarlet sandal stuck in Stormblood
someone sent me tells through pf
but when i try to inv or send tell back it wont send
Are you on Free Trial?
nop
maybe they logged off/crashed?
i insta replied

theres no way 2 ppl crashed right after sending me their message
"Can you lower the ilv im good i swear"
lmao

last time we had 1 person who had ilvl 460 and we couldnt do it

skip soar or disband is the dumbest shit
Sastasha

lmao
since this is the help section can someone identify these earrings? I can't for the life of me find them. I've looked in the database online, I've looked on the market board, and I've looked through mogstation.
Custom as in she's literally the only one that has them? Weird.
Are all the armors for the hunter scholars the same deal?
How do you get around very long queue times for story quests? currently trying to finish World of Darkness, but been in queue for like an hour
enable all the languages might help
what to do with old blue gears?(deepshadow)
Donate to GC for seals, or desynth for mats
or keep for glamour in the dresser? :p
the Calamity Salvager might have em?
i think aether during the week tends to undergear below WoD @runic hollow
get a friend or two, partially filled, with a tank and especially a healer, should pop it more easily
is it normal to be in queue for hoh 1-10 for 2 hours
Is there a way to move your Linkshell around? Like LS1 move to LS2
@oak chasm you can try the Deep Dungeon Discord for finding HoH teams, I don't think alot of ppl play HoH vs PotD
ooo where is that
tyty
Does the diadem still exist?
Ah okay so they merged it wuth restoration
If I'm trying to play the free trial on steam, where do I find the "registration key" it's asking me for?
paying for a server transfer bypasses the closed gate for full servers, right?
How do you quickly lvl gathering in Diadem? Was able to get 2-3 crafting professions up quickly, but gathering still seems slow

so i am new to playing bard (and ff14 in general) and I wanted to ask if I should still use my songs while the party does mob packs in between of mini bosses/bosses or should I use it exclusively for bosses
Also is it possivle to change specialist, say like if I wanna remove alchemist specialization for a different one
I have my other 2 bit want to get rid of this one
And do I then turn the alchemiat one to the specialist guy?
In exchange for a new one
Hey are the stat requirements in the diadem likely to stay the same for phase 3 or will they increase it by a certain amount?
Think he'll overwrite when you give it to him
@gilded forge try closing and restarting the launcher and if that doesn't work try this In "[Your User Folder]\Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn\" there's a file named "FFXIV_BOOT.cfg". You can open it with a text editor, change the "StartupCompleted" to 1 and you should be able to skip the registration window to login window
yes old diadem is dead
its strictly a gatherer zone now
I remember the fiasco with thay secret boss lol
That*
Saw it once and died instantly
I'll give it a shot thanks
just to double check for SAM
Kaiten works Senei, right?
Is the center of Holy at the spot where it finishes casting or the spot where the spell blows up
Is isghard restoration a limited time thing or just like the titles
For when they canonically finish it
yall whas the best way to find an fc? Finally hit "endgame" or whatever, wanna find people to hang out and do content with, but a lot of balmung fcs are rp and eehhhh
Check pf reddit and recruitment channels on here
are cosmetic items in this game all mtx, or can you collect them by playing the game normally?
trying to understand if i need to pay for mtx to look good, lol
Random question what's the name of the glamour that the NPC at Cuff-a-Cur is wearing? (At the gold saucer)
ive heard that glam is the endgame, but also that their are 'vanity' items in the cash shop?
totally down for collecting lots of sets at endgame, just checking if it was all mtx or not
There's plenty of great glamour you can get without mtx. Some takes more work to get than others but the beauty of a glamour (as subjective as that is) is not proportional to its difficulty to obtain. That said, there are a few unique glamour's only available for mtx like a scythe or an angel's halo
@robust abyss mog station only has a small percentage of glam
most glamour items are got in game
since anything you can wear can become a glamour
most of the old event items are on mogstation now
Which servers are preferred servers in Primal?
none
ahh alright thanks
thanks @versed bridge and @remote lintel , good to know! 🤟 🙂
Most mogstation its are holiday events or somethinng special
im all about the fashion lol, especially in rpg's like dark souls and skyrim
then you'll enjoy winning your fashion by doing duties
eternal bond not available cross server? yet?
nope
Halp?
Which costume is this or what's the name?
Probly have more help in Glamour channel
they're hempen underpants, that's how they look on highlanders @lone zephyr
Only on highlanders?
yes, the model varies between the races
Fantasia time!
so once i get anima weapon final form i have to retake all the quest from beginning to get another weapon?
yes
oof
carbuncle here and nope, still fine

uh should i do savage? me afraid
is it like hardcore stage where u need everything to have full materia melded
Yeah, it's endgame content
I'd suggest trying out the extreme trials first since it's an in between step
Assuming lv 80 ofc
It can, if you get it to level 20
I'd say get healing skills first until you can feel comfortable staying alive solo and then dump in dps
Believe i went up to the boosted healing passive myself
i'm way ahead of level right now, so survivability isn't an issue
i'm 61 at level 52 quests
should i just go dps to level it up?
then go healing later on?
Could do yeah
is there any benefit to going defender?
Not really, you tend to out-aggro the chocobo
Is there a big difference between the Marauder and Gladiator Squady?
do i have to manually order the chocobo to use these skills?
phew alright
thank you
is there a way to check my retainer progress without going to a summoning bell?
Ctrl+U maybe?
Are artisans crafts gear worth getting or should I just buy DoH gear from merchants till I hit lvl 60?
how is GNB self heal compared to other tanks?
meh
worse than DRK?
if i have too much yellow crafters/gatherers scrips, what should i use them for?
if you don't have the master recipes, buy those. if you do, then either materia to keep or sell, or slithersand
Is there a way to make it so Gpose uses your Idle pose and not your last used action?
you can sit before entering gpose to reset
Sit on an seat or just in general?
doesn't matter, just use sit in general
Gotcha. thanks
does it even make sense to play scholar at level 30? seems like i dont have the core heal and buffs
faster que times compared to summoner :p
will i get everyone killed lol
I doubt it, they wouldnt really have a class that couldnt work until X level
tbh a low levels, eos can heal do most o f the healing
cool, so i'm just applying dot and healing occasionaly?
How does one get their submerisble to route to the Sea of Jade map?
sorry if this isn't the right place, but is anyone free to help me clear The Dancing Plague (normal/Titania) for msq?
Is there a crafting optimizer that has the ishgardian turn in items?
I feel like I cant find any
The Hissatsu Senei cannot be buffed by hissatsu Kaiten right?
Because it's an ability, rather than a weap skill?
It cannot no
ive been watching higher level dungeon guides and when they mention a gaze attack, in game the warning is an "eye". does that let players know they need to look away?
yes

Hello! Question, 3 days ago I purchased the FFXIV Online Starter Edition (on Steam) and is currently on the free trial. Should I purchase the Shadowbringers DLC before I buy a subscription or can I just purchase the Shadowbringers DLC anytime?
how do i stop being in combat with the striking dummy?
right click it and reset enmity
So how does glamour work exactly? You convert a piece into a skin that you can apply to any other piece of the same type or you need to do it every time?
Like I'm wondering if it's worth it to glamour level 50 gear since it'll become obsolete soon
Is there a current guide for amina relic weapons? (How to get them)
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
!faq anima
Thankyu
learning blu skills- is there some special trigger to get the poroggos to use frog legs? been watching this green boi hit me for several mins and I don't see it using the skill
nvm apparently I just had to walk into melee range
how much more damage do you take with one stack of vuln?
depends on the fight
where do I go to start a second zeta weapon?
is idyllshire the only place to hand in wondrous tails?
!faqlvlingdrg
yes, Incarnater
40 bonus on top of the 50-60
As AST, how worthwhile it is to try and get all 3 seals for divination as opposed to just aiming for 2 seals and getting it out as quickly as possible?
40 is bonus?
...though I suppose once I get sleeve draw 3 seals is barely a time commitment
@limpid lynx do divination on time
@leaden ginkgo DRG doesn't have leveling rotationguide
Only BLM do iirc
yes, 40 is bonus. So expert roulette gives you 90 total a day @kind eagle
Also, is divination a button I press the moment it comes off CD or something I save for bosses?
dragoon doesn't have a complex rotation that changes much through the levels anyways
that was my starter class lol, thanks
oh
or the mobs are almost dead
Unless the boss will leave or the mobs will die the second you pop divination
Gotcha
I've been using the 1-80 video as a base, and it seems like they have the right of it
Those video are fine

The Balance for up-to-date information!
Yeah I have been using him for learning new classes, seems pretty fine for now since I'm only on HS. I'll use the balance and stuff when I nearer to 80 to optimize and stuff I suppose
Does magic / phys damage exist in this game? Is it relevant? What decides if dmg is phys or mag?
If it looks like magic
It is magic
If it looks like someone stomp/stab/flick/punch/face-slam/club you, it is physical
It is relevant, because some defensive skills only mitigate one type
!action Dark Mind
Do all my DoH need to be leveled up for Ixal or just my main one?
Also is horoscope worth worrying about? As far as I can tell it’s something you slap on a party if you think you need to Helios them?
But I kinda thought that was what the star was for?
It is more tools at your disposal
is basically another free aoe heal you can set up for later
Ah, right
you only need one DoH for ixali
Star is also damage
A few quests say I need to be another for a part of it, so was wondering
!action Horoscope
Reads your fortune and those of nearby party members, granting them Horoscope.
Duration: 10s
Effect upgraded to Horoscope Helios upon receiving the effects of Helios or Aspected Helios.
Duration: 30s
Restores the HP of those under either effect when the cards are read a second time or the effect expires.
Horoscope Cure Potency: 200
Horoscope Helios Cure Potency: 400
400 potency group heal ability is no joke
there's only 3 dailies for ixali that require you to be another class for part of it, and that's the one that need you to gather items
a miner and a fisher. Not sure about botanist, but you only need lv1 for that if any
there's a botanist one as well
So I can just buy the items if I don’t feel like doing class?
Horoscope is fine on its own as well
the daily items can't be bought
The daily turn for moonstones quest isn't that worth it tbh
I mean like the saint carp that fisher needs to get, for instance.
The regular ixal daily is better
Deliverance quest has 70 rep, don't they?
you can't buy the items you're asked to gather
Well. Fook
Doing full sets of 3 dailies nets more exp anyways
does anyone know where i can find those deadcatfish triggers? its not in arthars description anymore
what city do people hang out in these days? is it still limsa?
Every city has a bit of thing going for them, aside from Rhagrl probably
Limsa, Uldah, and gridania are new player starting cities
Kugane currently has Resistance weapon
Ishgard has Ishgardian restoration
So even on the last rep ranks, the gatherers only need lvl 1 ?
Crystalium is the starting city for the current expansion
Idyllshire has Wondrous Tail
eulmore has endgame gear
Yup
oh i mean in general where after everyone does their daily and just want to socialize with other people, and afk and stuff. which city has the most population?
limsa/eulmore/crystarium
limsa probably
are likely the most populated areas
awesome thanks 😄
I’m lvl 48 alc. is that a good level for Gil making?
i go check it out just wanna see people's fashion and stuff and see what i can copy from them lol! since im fairly new and wanna check some fashions
using Deliverance quest to craft up crafters are nice too. But I only reach Trusted rank so maybe there are quests that give better rep than Deliverance 🤔
Should I always do deliverance when I’m doing Ixal daily?
Is there a list of allagan tomestones that are available now and their source?
Thanks I heard there are weekly caps?
Thanks
I think you shoud do Deliverance. It i gives you 70 exp for a single quest, and the items is easy to craft. If you cannot or lazy to craft higher items, you can always buy mats from vendors and craft a bunch of low-level items to turn them in
nice exp, especially for low-level crafters
it is the reason why Ixal quest ranks up very fast and open even more quests
was hoping someone could tell me how to remove this thing from popping up
idk what setting it is
what does it search for anyway? I don't even use finder and it keeps pop up
yeah its basically useless
You have no filter, therefore all active party meets your requirements
there's a check box in Party Finder
Click them and turn it off there
Take a picture
what am i clicking here exactly?
Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Whichever tab you want to disable it in > Announcements > unselect Periodic Recruitment Notifications
oh its in party finder
TIL you can do it in PF too lol
thanks

Or do I just craft and sell high level stuff? 🤔 wanting to make that Gil.
eh
u could just make some HQ leve items
or find a niche market that not many craft for and make money that way
thats what i do i monopolize 1 item basically
craft Nanamo dolls. I will buy ;3
is there any reward I can get from commanding squadron myself aside from exp? Does loot works normally or it just get disabled? And will it take a long time to finish?
!faq whm guide
I'm lvl 33 BLU with lvl15 gear, at what pace should I invest in new gears?
@leaden ginkgo use #kupo-bot-spam for that unless answering a question
Upgrade blu gear as you need when you're struggling to kill mobs in overworld
You get everything from squadron command missions
I mean the loots
So it’s pretty easy to get a full set of gear if you only level with squadrons
@plain python loot works normally and 5 unique command missions unlocks the final flagged mission and 10 total unlocks emotes for purchase at your gc vendor npc
And you can turn in the rest of the gear drops you don’t need and get a lot of seals back
And command missions are much faster than duty finder if you get everyone to offensive tactics 5
It’s my favorite way to level alt classes from 20 to 60
Yes inflated stats and knowing how to manipulate them helps a tonne
hey guys so i had a qeustion is ffmog.com legit i really wanna buy a cool mount but i wanna know if thats not like against the rules or something
i started playing 3 days ago now and wanna do everything legit so i was wondering maybe some of u know
it is most certainly not a legit website, most of those sites that offer mogstation items for super cheap are in general not going to be legit
oow okay ty nvm it than
I'm considering leveling crafting classes. Is it worthwhile to level now or wait for 5.31?
Leveling through ishgard*
No reason to wait til then
The only things thst change are the turnins for the restoration and the materials needed
You can still make significant progress right now
@fallow saffron if you want a cool mount, either earn it in game or pay SE directly for it
does the mogstation adds new mounts like every week?
No
oow
I’m actually wondering if the materials for 5.31 Ishgard restoration is going to be cheaper or more expensive
This is not that kind of game
oow okii
does magicked lumber drop in zonureskin dungeons?
I've run so many and never seen it dropa single time
is there a way for me to check the market board without having to be in game?
Hi guys.
How do I increase/upgrade weapons and armour?
Can the weapons from yokai be upgraded?
No
Only tome gear can be upgraded and some crafted gear in stormblood and Shadowbringers
You'll be swapping out gear often
the xivcompanion app can check the market board but it seems to use a login currency every time you change prices. I personally use remote play with my phone to launch FFXIV on my ps4 to check prices if I can’t access the game at that time
Ah OK. Cos my current weapon already higher stat than the event ones 😢
does magicked lumber drop in zonureskin dungeons?
@nimble holly drops usually happen on completion of the final floor
They have no stats
does GNB generally deal more damage than DRK?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Yeh
does GNB generally deal more damage than DRK?
@gusty pasture on equal skill and gear, yes by like 2%
Its negligible
is it very hard to play?
That is nothing lol
Play the tank you like more
Its active
Thanks for the info
is there a world chat in this game? i dont really see people chatting in the general chat
I just reached 60 right after beating nidhogg in HW and finished my DRK level 60 quest so I thought I could switch it up a bit. I don't like playing dps or heals so I thought maybe GNB is good, but if it's too difficult to play I might pass up on it for the time being
Hardest point is uptime, especially when you need to move the boss during a ammo combo
But otherwise no tank is really that hard
Outside of learning defensive cooldown rotations
No hail
alright. Best look up rotations before I begin. Thank you!
Closest thing to a world chat is novice network, which isn't meant to be used as a world chat but people do regardless at points
Gnb starts with the basics so its very straightforward
I never been invited to novice network lol
You usually just ask for a invite
Just use discord as the world chat xd
yea looks like it @autumn oriole
Probably a super basic question, sorry, but is there a better way to see which way an enemy is facing? I know there's the circle and arrow under it. But with smaller enemies being attacked by a lot of players, both the enemy and the circle are completely hidden under the attack effects and stuff and I have no clue where they're facing.
Turn off effects
oh yeah one last thing, Is there a dps job that is similar to DRK in the sense that DRK has a simple 1-2-3 rotation weaving in oGCDs in between?
Thats basically every dps
ah really?
All dps have a number of ogcds
@faint flare dang I was hoping there was some other way, like a better overlay, but if that's the only way then so be it
I tried out samurai and I was overwhelmed because it has a ton of combos
And melees and MCH/Dnc have some 1-2-3 stuff
couldn't memorize each and every way of getting sen per combo
Bard doesn’t have it
Ninja has 2 combos, sam has 3, drg has 2 which essentially turns into one long thing, monk ita a frew flowing thing
Machinist has 1 combo and probably most like DRK
Weaving Gauss/richo ofteb
And a rapid burst phase with Hypercharge
Also reassemble drills
Ranged as well so dont need to worry about uptime much and has free movement
Dancer has a 1-2 combo, fan dances to weave and procs to press when they glow
Literally the "press the glowy button" job
Chakrama
It briefly shows fans when activated
awesome, I'm gonna check that and machinist out. I kinda don't want to go through 1-60. thanks for the suggestions and advice!
The unlock quest requires you to have a level 60 class. Isn’t really locked my msq
No one does Alphascape v3 apparently
It starts at 60 but it feels pretty easy to get into
The first quest has a solo instant which kinda teaches you the job
Teaches you about standard step
Gunbaker? Half Culinarian / Half Tank
Btw use dancers for running in cities. It has up to 3 dashes and peloton
*breaker, mb hahaha but I'll stand with my mistake
Btw use dancers for running in cities. It has up to 3 dashes and peloton
SOLD. I was PLD and DRK since I began a week ago and I have been getting lost in Ishgard so often
Might as well wear strider boots on top of that
Gun breaker can heal allies with regen. So it’s indeed a baker I guess
Extend sprint duration
Gotta go fast!
Can someone help? I'm trying to use the kupo bot to type in my character info but I keep getting errors
you can use !iam, you just didn't put your server first
the !iamid only works if you go to lodestone and get your character ID# and put that in too
Ahh gotcha, I'll try looking at the lodestone then
Hiten means you can just use the command !iam instead of !iamid
Ohhh

Guys ever got 90006 error ? I keep getting dced every few minutes
Ive tried everything on google and it didn’t work
What is free company guild?
9000x errors can have a wide range of causes because it’s just a connection interruption between you and the game servers.
Got it working, thanks for the help
!faq spiritbond
Could be a bad node or other ISP service issue, could be a wifi card issue, could be firewall
Could be something bizarre and niche
@gusty pasture #kupo-bot-spam
fml
its not firewall issue, i've made sure of that. i may try vpn soon
Meaning it’s allowing traffic from XIV both in and out?
Any PS4 DRK user here? I wanted to know how you setup your skills :p
@jade quartz yes, ive flushed/renew dns too. the error alternates between 90001/2ish and 90006, when the game is playable it will lag soo bad
I’m not having an issue btw. Just wanted to know if there’s a better setup
I use this as main crossbar because I'm naughty (macro is a dumb aoe of drain + unleash). flood of darkness deliberately missing. secondary set is extra def cd's, plunge, salted earth macro, etc. 3rd hotbar is provoke, shirk, living dead, and lb so can use them but not fat finger them inappropiately
skills are grouped by use (single target or aoe)
delierium is notably there because it's the same space in warrior setup for inner release (for extra muscle memory)
Ah ha nice. Yours is better than mine. Thank you. @left moth
Hai, im currently doing the quest for the anima weapon (AST) i only need to get one of each right? (Astral/Umbral Nodule)
Giving out more general setup tip:
Weaponskills, especially your bread and butter combo, should be on face button
Considering you want to press them while moving
Key ability / other stuff you press often (but not as often as your bread and butter) goes on dpad, in the case of DRK, this might include blood weapo, edge/flood, Abyssal, carve n spit
@leaden ginkgo yes
Ah ha got it
(you can get more if you want to stock up for future Anima weapon)
Screenshotting this 🙂
Highly recommend removing drain/unleash macro, and please also put flood on your bar. @left moth
I will definitely put... Bloodspiller on face button though
Won't do it on dpad
It is a Weaponskill you press, 5 to be exactly
I don't play drk at the moment seriously so it's mostly for raid type content where single target focus is the norm
I parked my Bloodspiller/Quietes and Delirium on my L2+Face
Raids still have AoE scenarios.
otherwise would try to better balance long cooldown aoes (salt and drain) with ones that should be kept up (flood)
And if you’re doing “raid content” then that macro is doubly a red flag.
What's that button on L2+Square?
Just don’t macro combat skills together, period
I deliberately clip gcd to use it
I forgot it

Lchronos: (ranged pull)
The more you type the more you include reasons why you shouldn't
This is really bad dude
same spot for all my tanks
I won't put that there, but that's personal preference
You should not be clipping your gcd as a DRK for any reason
It sounds like you’re trying to do some kind of... cooldown alignment delay tech thing? But that’s not a thing.
So i see this person all the time when i look up weapons
and
Does anyone know what robe this is
the like
!iglam field commander’s coat
@twin sable if I may
more I'm lazy and naughty. also shouldn't this be questions and help?
!faq balance
!iglam field commander’s jacket
ty the name works
Their DRK resource channel has more example on DRK controller setup
i can google it from here, cheers for the help :)
Anyway it’s 100 Seal Rock wins
Don't be afraid to try different setup and make adjustments
Its not opening 😦 @warped nest
@left moth then please don’t set yourself as an example to new players here with practices like that.
Opened. Its another discord channel yeah?
ist it normal that ive been waiting for about 30mins for the rise and fall of gentlemen fate to spawn
Took me about 30 mins @sly vessel
Unlucky but Not unheard of
Yes
so it really is a long wait
Its spawn rate hasn’t been given a buff unlike other arr FATEs that are needed for quests
Now that my DRK looks cool af i wanted to get better at the game :p
Note that there’s a max number of FATEs that can be active in a zone at once
!faq controllerguide
Oops
!faq controller
hello guys how does enhancing weapon/armor works here? is it like other MMO's where i need an x amount of material to enhance my item to lets say +1~10 and then i need protection things from +11~15 onwards?
if yes is it also an RNG factor, because i already have PTSD from black desert online 😦
we dont have a system like bdo
kalm
i was researching about enhancements and stuff and i found out about relics, is that how you ugprade things here, through questing?
or is it just like what i said where i need to collect materials to enhance +1~10
the upgrade system for this game is super basic in that you either get upgrades from crafting, dungeons, or currency
relic weapons are grinds mostly for glamour reasons
i heard there is a title for 75 high end duties?
Is there a faster way to withdraw Gil from retainer
It takes forever
Just holding L1 
You'd have to click and type it in
Type where
is there a way to hide the quest log from UI but still get the synch button for fates?
i find pretty stupid that it abbreviates name and surname but then leaves the entire title above their names, any way to hide also that?
Bjorne: outside augmenting certain equipment materia melding has garanteed slots which are only subject to stat caps, and (for crafted equipment only) overmeld slots which is roulette (materia lost if unsuccessful (5 materia max). ornate and some relic gear has 5 garanteed slots
should be near the settings for nameplates where you change names to initials
oh so there is the setting also for it
alright I'll check
am i i doing something wrong? it gives me an error message
is "C>" part of the command or just part of the console? (should be just ping [ip or domain])
mm.. as soon as i try to type something it puts in auto the C> at the beginning
are puppets and manufactured coins from the nier raids also limited to 1 per week?
copied factory is unlocked, bunkker is 1 coin a week
only the bunker one is weekly capped
Im curious, when doesthe first "this cutscenes super long, buckle up" warning occur
probably end of 2.0 but #archived-lore-spoilers would know better
2.55
doing the doman enclave rebuild stuff, after the demicrystal nerf whats the best material/item to donate?
usually msq only (when a cs can be expected to be around 40 min to watch without inturruption). first big one is ||The Parting Glass||
whats the current best gear in the game, from what i can find its ilvl 500 augmented crystarium or edenchoir correct?
Current best in slot is a mix of both
BiS is a mix of augmented crystarium and edenchoir
why mix?
They give the same amount of main stat but different sub stats
The substats aren't the same
gotcha
therefore you want to go for the one that has the better substats for your job
substat preferences (to max out crit and direct in most jobs, or to help with a desired gcd without melding which might be better spent on more crit/dh)
food is 3% for cheap (in game), ther's some equipment that does a boost until a certain level (also in game). the preorder earrings are obviously not available at the moment. other than that prefered server character creation (road to 70) is the best xp buff. if talking job boost pots that's on mogstation
Bruh I thought my trophies would carry over to main game from the trial
Is it a bad idea to try and level both mauruder and darknight at the same time ? I can't pick which tank class i like the most
kazzy: you're free to level them all if you find warrior more fun (to different play style). the only committment is time really
potd can help with playing around once warrior is unlocked (or any other job really) since it'll automatically put you at 60 (when doing floor 51-60)
is there a super easy crafting collectable to make right now that I can spend the next couple hours farming for a ton of yellow scrips? If so which one I have all crafters 80 or are they all basically the same and I should just pick one and go for it

custom deliveries are great for easy weekly scrips
other than that i guess the highest available item you can make that gives the most scrips
Currently leveling the SAM class and was wondering is there any way to find out which job quests I currently have to do next? Been leaving them out for awhile now
Should be by the MSQ notification
I'm currently doing the Animus -> Novus relic weapon and I got the scroll with the 75 materias attached. Where do I go to get it done with the Novus step?
talk to jalzahn again
What rank do I have to be with the adders to buy this? http://en.ff14housing.com/itemview.php?id=d431537dbd5
try equipping or unequipping your relic
arr relic quest texts are notoriously unhelpful
what does it say when you click on the animus ehancement
Chief Serpent Sergeant @gritty oracle
@wintry chasm aight thanks
@twilit arch Got it. I equiped and unequiped a few times and it seem to do the trick
Thanks a bunch!
if I switch GCs from mael to adder, will my mael rank be reset to 0 or frozen at whatever rank I'm at?
frozen
I've been leveling dark knight (I got astro to 50 and was curious about it) and came to a bit of a saddening conclusion for myself.. i don't think I can efficiently tank because I'm visually impaired and can't read enemy casts to properly do mitigation and other such things. Sure i could enlarge the target bar, but at that point its all i see. I also tend to get turned around in dungeons a bit and have to pause to look at the map often.. are there any things I should maybe try? Or is tanking maybe just not for me..? I hope its the former as I love the dark knight class aesthetic and questline a lot and wanna be able to reasonably work with people
Note im on ps4
You can go to Hud layout and separate the target bar to target hp bar, tatger status effects and target cast bar
I usually enlarge cast bar only so it's in my face
you could do the same
also, dungeons 51+ become pretty linear
so its not as easy to get lost in them, as they're basically straight lines
if you're afraid of getting lost, you could ask the healer to lead the way and be right alongside them
you could also make a macro for the start of the dungeon to let your group know about your situation and that you might be a bit slower than usual
Are macros a thing on ps4?
I see, I think ill do that. Better to at least explain things than just try and be anxious about annoying people
I hope it ends up like my healing endeavors, a little uncertain at first, but not too hard when I've had a fair shake at things
I dunno i guess I just worry about being a burden or ruining peoples fun, but thats enough of my own insecurities. Thank you all for the advice. It means a lot.
Hey, what lvl does summoner become good?
cause Idk whether to lvl up astro/sch&sum first to 80
depends on what you count as 'good'
idk, a lot of dps maybe
imho, like, my own personal opinion, i don't enjoy smn at 80 atm, but enjoy sch at 80.
but i have friends who enjoy smn
I enjoy sch but kept hearing it's bad
all jobs are 'good'
and when I switched to astro, the only thing I preferred about astro is the sects
the smn milestones start at 60 but it's hard to say a time when it magicxally gets good
SMN gets going, imo, once you are at lvl 60/70
nice
the level 60 skill gets the ball rolling
Regarding Scholar, Scholar tool has more nuance to them and different ways to combine them
For example, you have an ability that guranteed a crit heal
I like sch's good mana regen
And an ability to convert the shield part in your spell to direct heal
You always have multiple options to heal a target, and it is a lot less straight forward than a WHM sometimes
Done right, a well setup Adloquim can be as potent as a Benediction
My more general opinion is, all healers have different tools to perform the same function
why is sch considered worse then
It isn't
In cases where hp needs to be topped off for a particular mechanic, or the target already has a shield for example, then you want direct healing potency instead.
oh

However, in party match making via duty finder, double SCH is the least desirable combination
(obviously shouldn't happen in pre-made party)
Because Scholar shield overwrite each other
Duplicate anything is bad, duplicate SCH is worse than duplicate WHM or AST
dots snapshot the buffs that are currently up right?
yes
yes (ast can change stance out of combat)
(once have neutral stance that acts as both, kinda)
Is oil of time useless?
@gusty pasture yes
For lvl 70?
ahh shame. ALl the good ones are all expensive in the market
Is oil of time useless?
@gloomy mortar it is for lvl 50 stuff
Sell?
oil of time is to augment old (glam) tome weapons to make them glow (lv 50. augmentation at north shroud iirc since it might not have been covered by the everything augmented thing 5.3 did)
Interesting...
