quick question: are there guides for leveling up Desynth levels for LTW?
@leaden ginkgo There is no support role.
Machinist is a ranged physical dps.
Their party buffs are the weakest of the three ranged phys dps (they bring none, just role actions)
what level do i need to be to unlock astrologian?
!faq hwjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.
Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".
Which squadron recruits are considered "rare recruits"?
To be specific, you need to a lvl 50 DoW/M to initiate these quests.
But this doesn't include the other requirement, which is reaching Heavensward city
Are "rare recruits" better?
cant talk to Aymark in Eulmore yet, just did the thing in the story. do i need to be 80?
If there are rare recruits, I've never noticed
@restive relic you must complete the base Shadowbringers story
which requires being level 80
well im like 1 exp from 80 and still ahve like 20 quests left
even if i hit 80 i cant get gear from him till im done the msq?
must finish the quests
jesus
You can't access any content where that level 80 gear is necessary until then anyway
ahhhh
Do elemental aspected crystals still drop for the anima questline even if I don't have the quest up?
roger, ty
When should I do relic weapons quests
level 50, 60 and 70 relic weapons are basically only useful for glamour.
you can ignore them if you wish.
The level 80 relic is a relevant weapon which is a good start at level 80.
@manic flare rare recruits are the same stat range as regular ones just cool and/or derp looking (ie lala wearing a snowman outfit)
and will receive further upgrade opportunities in future patches
Can I directly start lv 80 or progress to 80
Is space bar, the "jump" key, used for anything content wise? Considering remapping it if I don't need jumping for anything significant
The relic weapons at each level bracket are separate.
Just for your info,
What are the item level
50 - Zodiac relics, really tedious but really easy.
60 - HW anima relics, fairly easy and not that tedious, but lots of poetics.
70 - Eurekan relics, requires a lot of Eureka but can be fun if you're into that kind of thing
None of the 50, 60 or 70 relics have anything to do with the 80 relics
Is there a blue mage discord? I need help leveling it.
Each relic is independent of the previous. Anima (60) you could trade in a 50 relic to skip first step but dont need to since crystal grind has been nerfed into the ground
The current level 80 relic is ilvl 485
Only the first step has been released.
Subsequent patches will introduce upgrade steps to increase the item level and also make the model fancier and glowier.
I'm level 54 now with item level 130(those ironwork weapon)
Are the relics better than my current weapon
No
Relics apart from current endgame relics are not worth doing for anything other than glamour
yep
I c thanks :)
Considering the time to get a 50 relic no.
you can only do one unreal retelling a week right?
yeah only one retelling
Palace of the Dead can get me up to what level? 50? 60?
Thanks. 🙂
As an Arcanist, what crafting job should I work on?
Alchemists, leatherworkers, weavers, goldsmiths, carpenters, and occasionally armourers all create gear equipped by arcanists
there's not just one answer to that question.
Lol thanks! Is there a class that can create dyes?
All crafting classes can make dyes
Ohh cool
If you want to get into crafting, it's usually recommended to level all the crafting classes.
Not just because you usually need all of them (except culinarian) to make a set of gear at a certain level
but because they all make intermediate ingredients for stuff made by others
Ok cool! Ill definitely keep that in mind! I guess for now Ill mostly work on Culinary lol
and if you try to only use one crafting class, you'll have to buy those pre-crafted ingredients from others at a markup instead of making them yourself
Culinarian is more separated as it just makes food from gathered ingredients basically
Don't need no planks or ingots to make a steak dinner

once you unlock a relic weapon's stages, can you use any stage as glamour?
You can use any stage as glamour
but depending on which relic type it is, the vendor that sells the "replicas" (glamourable versions of the previous steps) may unlock at different points
gotcha
For example, Anima weapon step replicas are purchased from the "Restoration Node" which only becomes available after you've progressed at least one Anima weapon to the ilvl 230 ("Hyperconductive") stage
Hey all hello i was wondering anyone else having problems "Paying" because i try to buy 2 retainer with the same CC that i pay my monthly but i cant... ?
Can you move your fairy as sch?
Yes, using the pet actions “place” to click a place for it to go, and “heel” for it to revert to following you
There’s also “stay” to make it stop following you and stand still but it’s not so required
You can select these buttons from the pet hotbar, or drag them onto your regular hotbars from where they’re located in Actions & Traits -> Pet
The Wiki says that in order to start 2.5 MSQ, I need to complete the three (Hard) Primal quests, but the quests are completed before actually fighting the Primal. Do I need to fight the last Primal, Titan, or will it be enough to just have attuned to the aetheryte?
you need to clear titan
Must clear it
I see. 😦
I'm trying to make a character on Exodus and start the game since im new but it says i cant make a char on that server. what do i do
Wait a few hours.
!status exodus
can i save the character i made or should i keep the game open
🤔
wait that says its available?
when i try to make a char it says new characters arent being made rn
@olive herald it mightsay that
Try once more
hold on i had a stroke
character creation is usually limited in high population servers
if it still refuses you, then lodestone status is just a little behind.
yeah its still refusing me
Alright
latest i can stay on until is like 3am and its 2:20am here rn
you'll have to wait until a less crowded time
so i hope it resolves in the next 40 mins
Servers are locked for character creation based on the number of players currently online on that server.
i mean, keep trying. its like 2 am and primal is an est data center
this is not peak time
oh
There are no est data centres
maybe try even earlier
\o/
There any way to increase beast tribe allowances past 12?
Nope
Fluck
Especially since if my calculations are right, I’ll be right on the cusp for the next rank tomorrow. Only to have to top it off the next day. Nlehhh XD
Not necessacily.
Its NPC-based
So old scholar guy speaks old scholar way
Hardened mercenaries spit curses for example.

In general they approximate roughly Victorian-era speech, but fashionably freshened-up in that Game of Thrones sort of way
"Is aught amiss?" etc. etc.
Sometimes, in a dungeon or trial, when we're losing the fight, I'll notice the boss unleash a powerful attack. Now, I'd expect to see everyone's HP drop to 0 and then the fight restarts, but instead, I don't see any HP damage being taken. The fight just restarts. Are some attacks programmed to automatically end a fight?
which fight
It's happened in quite a few of them, but most recently, Titan (Hard). I was stuck in a gaol, and as soon as my party freed me, the boss did something and the fight started over.
I didn't see anyone take damage.
you mean you were all teleported back to the start of the fight
Yeah. Without the dying in battle part.
they probably did die and you just didnt notice it
I've had times where I instantly get reset without any damage shown
^
It's happened too much for me to just not notice my party dying.
0 damage
i mean the boss did a raidwide and then you said you were teleported back to the starting ring
that looks like dying to me
Best way to report a broken Levequest to SE? >.<
Ooh. How's it broken? 😮
Send a bug report
The item keeps spawning on a rock, which you can't climb on, and you can't get it whilst flying either... Wasted 3 leves on it trying to do it. >.<
Will do, thank you Flacc.
Thankies
dumb question but, me and friend are trying to go for heavensward relics and we're both healers. the part with doing 10 dungeons, there's no way to go around that so we can do that together right?
yes
gotcha
you can unsync with 2 healers in a dungeon that only needs 1?
unsync removes all restrictions
I still don't know how to unsync lol
i started playing in the middle of HW and literally just learned how to unsync
Quick question. How can i get golden chocobo feathers?
People who are using free sub?
can in-game money be used to change name
@blazing crest yeah, must have purchased the game but still not have purchased sub time beyond the 30 days time gained on initial purchase
Anyone got a good resource for hunt locatinos
can people tell if i remove them from my fl ?
Nope
!faq blmleveling
aah i was close
did they ever add ishgard housing?
Not yet
But its pretty definitely coming
You can now explore what’s basically part of a housing ward
oh really? 😮
Yep, in the Firmament
i'll check that out shortly
Hi guys, does anyone know how i can go from arcanist to thaumaturge? I'm in Limsa Lominsa
the job quest for THM is in Ul'dah I believe
Sorry do you know how i get to Ul'dah? This is my first time playing lol
you need to do your level 10 arcanist quest to be able to unlock other classes, then progress to around lvl 15 in msq which is when you visit the 2 other starting cities
yeah you need a lvl 15 msq to unlock the airships transport system
!faq arcleveling
Hey everyone, is there a significant difference between servers/data centers when it comes to raids, fc, etc? I'm currently on Mateus and while I genuinely don't have an issue with RP, I don't RP so I have concerns when it comes to recruiting and such. Maybe I'm overthinking it?
the raiding scene i know can differ a bit server to server.
what exactly is it you're worried about?
so, is there something i can do with my old facet gathering gear if i want to buy full aesthete's?
could give it to a retainer or just desynth
Give to your retainer
Another rarely considered option would be keeping them as glamour for your dol
I'm not necessarily worried too much, all of my concerns are from ignorance for sure. It just seems so far that I won't be able to really delve into what I want to as a non rp player on what I am told is an rp server? I just don't know if it would be any different on say Gilgamesh or Sarganantas. The people I've met so far I've ran a few things with but they're busy with RP most of the time
Does samurai have the highest dps
This though /\
I need a lil bit of a in-game macro help with setup and stuff. Specifically foldering hotbars and some class macros
sam lacks group utility though, if you're looking for the downside
If you feel like you dont fit in with the server's community you could try visiting other worlds on your data center, though it has restrictions on certain things like creating/joining fc's
I'm not gonna help on the hotbar menu/folder because it is pretty advance stuff, and it is better for you to just copy paste someone else's setup
Over me typing here and trying to give you a tutorial
plus I think it is entirely unnecessary for a player, new or experienced to touch these
I can however, answer questions on class macro
you can still do duties on the server you visit though
or you could just transfer to another server/data center if you want to
@warped nest 1. My apologies for the hotbar thing then 2. I usually play scholar (will go with astrologian later), summoner, archer. Will pick up dark knight once i get to heavensward
Ok I'll try that, just don't wanna be too impulsive. I'll do more research, I appreciate your help
though i think it costs irl money
Don't apologize, I was just telling you that it is better to just copy existing setup
Over you learning how macro works, on a chat channel
Ye I'll be sure before I do anything
@untold sand I don't see the question in your part 2
Wjats gud main macros ir ease of use macros for those classes? 😄
i've heard gilgamesh being one of the big raiding servers, but that was back when i first started, idk how it is now
Almost none to be honest
Im like nub have only like 12-14 days into the game
Combat macro is often frown upon
But already level 50 lol
As they severely impact your combat performance
Well then i asume its mostly used for craftibg then?
There are a very very small amount of combat macro
Astrologian/Healer in general, should at least have a message macro to tell your party member that you are going to resurrect someone
Not really combat as attack per say, i mean mostly like utility in game menu, gear, or healing/raise macros, tanking or buff macros etc not super knowledgable. Cuz my classes at level 50 is just the arcanist tree
Raise macro
Raise macro never seems to work right for me
DRK have 3 macros, if you want to use macro
- Use the Blackest Night on your co tank
- your invuln alert
- Salted Earth auto target
3? I only use salted earth what are the others lol
is it hard to join Hunt Linkshell?
I know in game macro system has limitatin but from 1-10 how butchered is it?
Oh true, gotta do that
@plain python hunt linkshells are kind of not used as much now, theres hunt discords that ar ebetter that will ping you when a hunt train happens
Another thing i kinda despise in the game is there a way to auto swap target in combat like dungeons etc i hate spamming tab
I use a macro for Living Dead on my DRK
idk what japan data centers do (just checked your tags) but na/eu use centurio hunts/some have seperate discords
@simple bolt what does living dead to exactly and on what target?
it lets you have godmode for a short duration on most attacks, if you drop below 0 hp before living dead wears off
but it has a cost
being that if you dont get fully healed before walking dead wears off, YOU DIE
what part of the fight is called "conflag" on e6s?
so i macro it to announce and mark me for a short while to make the healers notice
Hi i had to formated my SSD where my game was, i would like to know how much gb the game is ?
my folder has about 47 gb
ok good thanks
hello guys just a question can i finish the quest "A Relic Reborn" as a free trial account?
yes
trials include all content up to lvl 60 and those relic weapons are all lvl 50 stuff
i need a aeolian scimitar my friend told me that i need to buy it from the marketplace which i cannot access is there any other way to get one?
its going to be more annoying imo as a free trial user
since you don't have access to the marketboard
you'd have to craft it yourself
or ask someone to craft it for you
which obviously requires time investment into levelling crafters/gatherers
i've heard that leveling DoH jobs is a bit quicker than it used to be
havent touched one since getting BTN to 50 though so idk how true that is
And crafting is quite an investment for FTs as you have limited uinventory space
crafting the required items is not too hard overall since it's lvl 50 stuff while the game has advanced to lvl 80, so you may get lucky asking around in the novice network
I leveled WVR to level 80 before starting stormblood to get into the glamour game asap
im lazy so i went and spent a questionable amount of gil on a crafted weapon
for the glamour
Crafting an HQ lvl 50 item is pretty easy for level 60+ crafters, and it only takes two buttons for lvl 80 crafters
Hi hi. So I have the exp ring and some food for exp buff. Is there anything else you guys would recommend to stack on that ? Only level 23 so trying to max fast haha
Not really, it doesn't matter much for your first class anyway
because MSQ give crazy amounts of xp
Ohhhh
you could do potd if you're trying to level fast, but i'd only do it on an alt
Which you'll have to complete to access endgame content anyway
Thanks everyone
in general doing MSQ only will overlevel you by about 10 levels at the start
the headstart will shrink with time but you'll never really have problems
Even without doing side quests ?
yes
and if you do have to do other content to catch up I would recommend dungeons
sidequests uhm... they sure exist in this game
Ignore side quests except those with ‘+’ signs
and they have purpose... maybe
So do all With +
yes, those unlock new stuff
if you do the daily roulettes while doing the msq on the same job you'll def overlevel the msq in the beginning
some
gives emotes
Try to feed roulette exp into your alt jobs
And always keep your msq job right at the required level to get the most out of the exp
How does one feed roulette exp into already job? Are you saying just do the dungeon on an alt first dungeon of the day ?
Alt *
Alt job *
Yes
Ah ok
Each roulette has a daily bonus
Oh? There’s more than one ? Oh boy lol.
You'll unlock them over time
Guildhest roulette is the worst btw
side quest EXP really needs to be increased
Just do msq
And it’s the first one unlocked
So guildhest is not worth doing once you unlock the other ones ?
Not really
guildhests aren't really worth doing past like level 30 or so
tbh i wouldn't bother unlocking guildhests in general
They are decent for around level 10 or 15
But ignoring them won’t let you miss anything either
guildhest needs to be pretty much redone as a tutorial that explains all the different signifiers and mechanics of combat
I mean, some guildhests do just that
I only finished them once each to get the checkmark and achivement
Guildhests are a nice way to TRY and get Squad Recruits tho
Squad is this games word for guild right ?
Which tank would you recommend for someone who's never tanked before and has tanxiety and just doesn't like WAR(just feels boring tbh)
and the hall of the novice stuff does an okay job of serving as an actual tutorial
correct, but it's not really how a tutorial should be done
no Grand Company Squadrons
which obviously doesn't explain evereything
Oh ok
Getting squadron to 8 was really easy for me and I never worried about that
i've never been in there
Free Company is the games guild :p
DRK to start at level 30. Its striaghtforward and has nice story.
Thanks everyone for being so nice
So you dont have to slog through lvl 1
ya getting 8 is ez, its getting specific ones you want thats hard :p
Then consider playing GNB at 60
well you should because it's exactly what you want as a tutorial 🙂 @split nebula
if its good enough then guildhests should just be removed
plus it gives you a free set of decent gear for beginner characters
I am unable to play Final Fantasy XIV! I keep getting "The lobby server encountered an error 5006" Does anybody know what the problem could be?
Do free companies give any buffs ?
wasnt there a ring that gives an xp boost for people under a certain level while worn
the brand new ring or something
Doing Hall of the Novice atleast once is awesome, you get a 30% XP ring that works till lv 30
When I have enough time, I do all the roulettes except guildhest. The pvp one is pretty good too
Guildhests are there because its not worth the effort of removing and its a nice dip in the pond for people who havent tried dungeons.
yes, free companies can give you buffs (depending on rank and what the fc spends their points on)
Ohh. I need to join an FC.
How it works is that the leader (or anyone with the rights to do so) can spend a special currency to activate 24h buffs for the entire FC
@whole wasp Got lvl 60 GNB, but it just got way too many skills off the bat that is a bit overwhelming. DRK starts at 30? PLD is not recommended for new tank players or is it just more complex?
the currency is gathered by the members just doing stuff
Fc buff is pretty minor wo dont worry too hard about it.
Judging by the lack of responses, I am the ONLY PERSON who is having this problem!!! 😦
uh question about ffxiv weddings
but yeah, it's a pretty minor buff
i think i discared like the

@past lantern yes DRK at 30. PLD is also fine but you start at lvl 1. Can get boring.
Why is nobody helping me???
does the game send you to the beginner's hall at all? i have a friend who just started the game, it'd probably do him good to go there
Why is nobody helping me???
@calm phoenix Sorry, genuinely no idea
@whole wasp If it wasn't for the leveling thing.. which would you recommend?
im not sure where they all are, i remember seeing one in west la noscea
an NPC to access it is posted before the entrance of the first dungeon you do
doesn't get more on the nose than that 😄
PLD is very strong and they gor a magic phase and a physical phase. DRK become ssuper fun at 70 with the shield spell. GNB plays like a DPS
does the game send you to the beginner's hall at all? i have a friend who just started the game, it'd probably do him good to go there
@split nebula eventually a MSQ took me to that one. You could open up recommended quests and every single one of them will show up there one by one.
Honestly i play DRK becuase the lore is cool.
Can you glamour from the armory? Or need to place the piece in the glamour chest
yeah, the game really tries to get you in there despite it being optional, technically
which is good, the tutorials are nice
ok cool
You can @cedar compass
Can you glamour from the armory? Or need to place the piece in the glamour chest
@cedar compass You can create glamour plates from both these locations, however you can also glamour from your inventory
beginner's hall was added years after launch, ive never had a reason to go there
@whole wasp Not really into the lore all that much. Just want something that feels a bit more fluid than WAR. Personally not a fan of WAR's AoE.. that cone just feels pretty small
beginner's hall was added years after launch, ive never had a reason to go there
@split nebula 30 % ring and decent starting gear 😄
Only war has cone AoE.thr others have circular AoE
real dark knights use Pure White :p
well i dont think i have anything under level 30 though lol
real dark knights use Pure White :p
@granite swan Heresy!
does it work on blue mage? XD
Warrior’s AOE is exactly why I enjoy it. It makes positioning more interesting
@calm phoenix I looked around online for a fix for error 5006, all i could find were people saying to try changing to a different data center from the main menu, then switching back to your data center
It has to cone aoe into circle aoe
Warrior is genuinely the most straight forward tank of the game though, I personally enjoy all the others more just for being... more 🤔
plus gunblades
they be cool
Warrior is just too simple for my taste
I'm getting sudden frame rate issues. This just started like 30 minutes ago, it hasn't ever happened before. Any suggestion on fixing it?
Warrior’s main interesting thing for me is its aoe combo positioning
usually some problem on your end (other stuff eating up resources for example)
Other tanks have boring AOEs
true, low level dungeons are super boring with just spamming the same button over and over again
check task manager if anything else is using a lot of your CPU and RAM @raw dagger
"face target" should this be on or off when tanking? with it off it makes healing easier, but makes dpsing harder
I turned it off because it's annoying for gaze attacks
fr what do i do if i accidetnally discared my wedding reservation thing?
my friend had the option to enter the chapel when talking to etoinelle
but i dont have the option
ok good so im not the only one that got hit by a gaze because i thought casting a spell at the mob was a good idea
@simple bolt nope, cpu and ram usage seems fine. Does restarting game usually fix this?
yeah sometimes my game performance just tanks for no reason
restarting the game usually does fix it
if not, i'd try restarting your pc
Thanks!
Are queue times end game bad ? I guess I should ask what is the average y’all wait and what role
healers and tanks are usually near instant queue
I logged out at a sanctuary last night but NO rest XP this morning! I have NOT leveled up at all since I got on! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
are you absolutely certain you were in a sanctuary
Sitting on a bench in Revenant's Toll. It said that it was a sanctuary
can you post a screenshot of your exp bar
If there's no 20 sec timer when you log out then you're definitely in a sanctuary
Where is the green bar then?
its green when it carries to the next level
it's only green if your rested bonus extends to your next lvl
the blue only shows if you have enough rested xp to progress into the next level
Erm, the basic standard steps and technical steps arent a dps loss right?
since they buff you, no
Just got told to only use steps when buff is wearing off rather than having it on CD
That was.. confusing
they are your hardest hitting spells
Its literally your hardest hitting ability
Alright. Because i was scratching my head on that
was it a tank that told you that
I just got a retainer but i dont see where can i send them to ventures or anything like that to level them up
But then again, when they DNC, they had standard step that wore off regularly in a dungeon 
ventures need to be unlocked via a separate quest
you need to do the quest "an ill-conceived venture" before you can send them out on ventures
Thanks friends. I thought i was going crazy
to the point they'd preach it onto others
you might still be going crazy, just saying
Aye. But at least I'll have top dps as dnc
that's a nice spot to be crazy in
both standard and technical step have very high potencies to make up for the fact you're using 2-4 gcds to get it off
unlike me who always gets outclassed by the damn mch when he plays sam
(I'm that kind of bad)
The imperial disguise is level 1 armor. I hope that I am not required to fight anything while wearing it. It was hard enough that a mudpuppy keeps respawning right next to Cid when required to talk to him in the disguise
I may have bad news for you
You don't
you don't need to wear it after talkingto cid
you can swap your gear before the fight
really? my friend recently did the quest and complained about not being allowed to change gear
when and which part of it
i managed another alt through arr
swappped off to normal gear
dialogue simply changes to "covert imperial agents"
not sure I'm just going by her complaining 😄
pretty sure it was the escape from castrum one
well good to know
recently did that on my alt and was able to swap gear before having to fight
and even before that
When do you lose the road to 70 buff?
no
you're assured 90 days with the buff
even if you get a job to 70, the moment you switch back to a job below it you will get the buff again
Ooh
After the Minfilia cutscene, is it safe to swap gear or do I still need the disguise?
unless the server remains preferred after those 90 days, then you'll keep it until the server stops being preferred
doubles all the exp u get
huh, didnt know about the 90 days
but yeah sorry my "when you hit 70" was a bit confusing
why was that not a thing when i was leveling
you obviously regain it when switching to a job that isnt 70 yet
It’s only in preferred servers
it's basically an enticement to get people to populate some servers
Nobody knows?
you should be safe to swap after that cutscene
so that trick to get a paid player to party two FT players together
they only have to be all in the same datacenter right? different worlds dont matter?
ya, doesn't matter if you're on different servers. just needs to be same datacenter
No. I cannot progress without in uniform. I talk to the guys with the quest marker and they complain that I am NOT in uniform
after you've talked to all of those dudes then, you can swap
It WILL NOT even progress WHILE in uniform
are you sure you're saluting?
you need to /imperialsalute them
Can free trial account be upgraded via mogstation?
they'll just comment "wow where's youre uniform dude? anyway"
yes
you just log into mogstation and click on the button that says manage service options
Do I get the magitek armor mount after this part of the story? I had to test the one we got from the battle yesterday so I am wondering if they are connected in any way
you get it later
I've been getting mixed signals on this
can you actually jump over Titan's Geocrush
don’t think you can jump over any aoe
your hitbox isn’t it the air afaik
imagine a straight line from A to B
lol i've heard people tell me that sometimes the hitbox doesnt move until you land
and get hit by aoe's on their previous location
yeah XIV spaghetticode means whenever you appear to not be on the floor, you're actually on the floor
special regard to dragoons
the only thing i've seen dodged by jumping is the balls in puppet's bunker but i question that tweet's veracity
i imagine you can dodge those with less than stellar ping
cause I've had some 'oh money back' moments with them
Magitek Vanguard H-1 is immune to EVERYTHING! Please Help!!!
pay attention to the npc's dialogue. they tell you that you need to find a generator and disable it
Any way to unlock flying quickly/instantly? Paid options included?
not for the current expansion that i know of
buying the msq progression skip items in the optional items gives you flying in that expac's regions i think
but none exist for shadowbringers yet

Then how does someone fly on non expansion regions?
do believe there's some FR discords linked in #resources @lament lava
TEA is the last ultimate released?
latest
ARR regions just require you to complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to fly
not last
what's the difference?
last = final
i mean it is the last one released because no other has been released yet
latest = current/newest
ARR regions just require you to complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to fly
@twilit arch I was always told that was a quest in Heavensward. Was I lied to?
thats being a bit pedantic about wording my dude
no
okay thanks
that's how it was before the most recent patch
expansion zones have a different system for unlocking flying
only the most recent patch allowed flying before Heavensward
they bumped it down so you can fly earlier
ARR regions just require you to complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to fly
@twilit arch After completing that quest, is there another one you have to do to unlock ARR region flying?
no
do any of you know how to get to this aether current in kholusia?
@vale sage just once
Cool thanks!
wow
I knew that from my brother-in-law. It is a good idea to skip a lot of the side quests in case you want to level something else up. But you should do all the side quests with the + symbol during your regular playthrough

So i know that macros for combat aren't recommended, but what about a macro that uses a different action based on whether the target is an enemy or an ally
for example i have a macro that casts Dia on enemies, but Regen on friendly targets
Therea no way of hiding quests you dont want on the map is there
Every time I go through gridania i feel guilty for those lvl <10 quest I didnt do
how do i get ilvl430 ring/belt/earring/ect ?
Fairly new to FFXIV, went to install MoogleShade to make the game look a little better & faced with this after installing, been troubleshooting online and nothing seems to be working for me. Any suggestions?
Also yes, i have tried updating dx11
i think level 80 dungeon drops are 430? but its really low ilvl so its not something worth actively seeking out
do level 80 content and buy 460 accesories with phantasmagoria
do i really have to start farming gear just to progress MSQ ?
if you mean the newer dungeons requiring higher ilvl then yes
Is there a way i can verify my install files or something to fix this issue as im sure i have the latest version of DX installed
the program might depend on a specific version of DX runtime
Should I be buying venture tokens early on or should I be saving my company seals for ranking up in my grand company?
or actually
It doesn't say anything about that in the installation settings on their website, it's just adding some files to the /game folder of FFXIV and that somehow breaks the launching of the game. I'll try launching with the DX11 support disabled for the sake of it?
I have no idea, is it possibly outdated?
thats what im thinking
Can you store outdoor furnishings in your FC room? Or just indoor furnishings
it had you drop some directx or dll into your game im assuming?
I can send the Zip it had me stick in there if you'd like
there is a file in there named "dxgi.dll", guessing that's the cause?
did you get prompted about overwriting files when you installed it
No answer?
Nope. Is there a way i can delete the extra files i put in there and do a "verification" like on steam? (i'm on the FFXIV Launcher)
These are the files i've got atm
Nobody can answer my question?
i think the shaders are built on an older version of directx than what you have installed. Simply removing the files you dropped in should work i'd think as long as no files were overwritten
I'll try that now
@calm phoenix Sorry for drowning out your question, once i've solved this i'll be out of the way for you to ask again ;p
Still doesn't fix it @simple bolt, Same error message.
Anything here seem out of hte ordinary?
Just an FYI if anybody ever does overwrite files, what I do is back the original files up. I just add .bak to the end of the file name so I do not have to move it to another folder. Like that readme.txt, it would become readme.txt.bak
I should have known better to do that. But in a moment of naivety i didn't backup my base files before i added ones to it, though i'm not recalling it overwriting anything
im shocked that a company as big as SE couldnt implement a file verifier built into the game client
Me too, honestly
one sec lemme pull up my laptop's installation and see if you're missing ffiles
i have shaders installed but didnt have a problem
okie dokie
I could try adding a different shader, hoping whatever file i may be missing is replaced with one from the shader pack, though that might just damage the problem more than it'll help
To find out what files you may have put in there, look at the date modified of those files and see what does not make sense. If it has today's date for instance, that is suspicious as nothing was added/updated today
I am very computer savvy so I am good with tech support
but that's not part of the base game'
I installed the game today, is the issue
after removing the extra files everything seems fine
here are the files sorted by date modified
oh so it worked then?
No sorry i'll rephrase
Could you try uninstalling and reinstalling?
the date modified seems fine
the game still doesn't launch
that's a hopeful last resort. I would rather not wait another couple hours
What OS?
Win10
Then I do not know. Runs fine on my Windows 10. I know that Windows 7 and 8 do have some issues with the game but mostly Windows 7 so
was the game working before you added shaders into it
I think that a fresh uninstall reinstall would fix it but i really don't want to do that
you can see if windows made a backup of your files
and try restoring from a restore point
Download moogleshade again, look at what files that are in the zip, and try only deleting those from the folder
what was it
Was going to ask the same
I pulled these files back from my recycle bin
@calm phoenix Save up your GC seals to rank up. Get Venture tokens by doing beast quests
was trouble shooting in the StormShade discord too as that's what i'm going to use now :p
yeah i was gonna recommend trying that out
i use a different one but it's pretty much the same thing
Trying to complete a quest that requires me to apply a materia to this staff, but it wont let me?
What am I doing wrong
Ah nvm Stormshade is outdated too
@calm phoenix Save up your GC seals to rank up. Get Venture tokens by doing beast quests
@gloomy mortar Like the Sylphs beast quests? That is all I have for beastmen quests right now
Gshade it is
i use gshade
@keen goblet check the base item level requirement on the materia's tooltip
So basically I need a tier 1 thingy
@calm phoenix Yeah, Id do the Ixal quests too at least, but you can do any of them. You get 2 Ventures per quest completed I believe
Ok there we go, thank you @simple bolt 😄
np
hey
so im new to the game
my friend has sent me a recruit a friend code
and ive been scratching my head to find out how to enter it
most places say the mog station
but i cannot find where to enter it there

Its a giant banner
do you have the full game or are you a trial account
oh nvm they probably let trial accounts redeem them now
How much does it costs to buy a home approximately :p
It a giant banner with a picture of a chocobo on it. You can redeem code if you havent bought your first sub
even if you buy the game
So within one month of buying it since first month is free.
^
You also cant buy subs until your first month is overm
However, you or your friend will not get the items until you have boughten the subscription
Is there a way to disable the quick cross hotbar switch by tapping the bumpers on controller? My new controller does this annoying input glitch where I go to a swap to a hotbar and then it thinks im still pressing the button I think so it goes to the crossbar after the one I picked
You'll immediately get the rewards
I did not when I put in my sister's code
aye thanks yal
My sister got nothing as well
she should get something too
I was told that we both would get the items
You should get an email
@near wedge you can go into your character settings and go to the hotbar settings > Custom, and you could disable all hotbars except the one you want
Never did. This was August 11
I got an email for mine
you can still switch hotbars by holding the bumper and the corresponding button
No email, my sister and I did not get anything despite the fact that it said that it was entered in successfully. My sister then told me that I need to pay for a subscription in order for us to get the items
If you pay for a subscription you lose the ability for recruitee rewards
Is there an FPS counter in the game?
not built in
There is one, top left of the System Configuration window
besides tht lol
or maybe it was top right but it's there
top right
@simple bolt thanks that worked!
I was told that I needed to enter it in before I bought the subscription, which I did, but it would not be applied until after I bought a subscription
You get chocobo feathers as a reward for them putting in your code
However for extra rewards they need to be subbed for X amount of days
Refer to this
Shade's Guide to FFXIV's "Recruit a Friend" campaign on the Mogstation.
This video explains why RAF is awesome and how it works.
As always, let me know if you have any questions! ❤️
#FFXIV, #Guide, #RAF
📺 New upload every Saturday at 9AM PST
🔗 Links
⭐️ "Refer a Friend" Thr...
uh, no actually
you don't get anything for just entering a code
i just checked the RAF site
Am i able to join the novice network ingame again if i get invited
your first rewards will be on 30 days sub
I got my chocobo feathers immediately 🤷♀️
probably for creating a char in preferred world
your recruiter, however, gets their first rewards once you enter the code
i was a recruiter and a recruitee
and immediately got my silver
ones
within the day atleast
I just tried entering it in again (she texted it to me back on August 11) but it tells me that I already used this code but neither of us got anything from it. No feathers
yes, the recruiter gets silver feathers immediately
the recruitee does not
recruiter does not get silver feathers
*gold mb
Hold on
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/ check here i suppose
ok i was wrong
is there an channel for players to make new friends and play together with them? xD
@cunning night you can join a free company
That just tells you about it
recruiter should get their rewards immediately tho
can free trials join FC's?
no
they cannot
@calm phoenix
you should have
something like this
on your mogstation
if you dont then the code didn't work
My sister recruited me and I was told that we both was supposed to get items but as I said, neither of us did
@simple bolt alright, but not sure what to look out for in a Free company. any idea? :/
your sister should get them, have she tried checking her mog mail?
@simple bolt alright, but not sure what to look out for in a Free company. any idea? :/
@cunning night If you have friends that play, I suggest being in a free company of just friends
That or just join one aimed around what you're looking for
On that link, I only see rewards for when the person who entered the code subscribes for 30 days
so might have to wait until the first time you pay sub
cause buying the game doesn't count
@cunning night If you have friends that play, I suggest being in a free company of just friends
@calm phoenix currently i'm playing alone haha. i will look around thanks! @simple bolt @calm phoenix 🙂
When will FFXIV end? Development-wise, like 2 more expansions?
What level are you @cunning night
They aren't planning to have it end yet
They said it'd keep going as long as it made money probably
for how long it would last you could look at FF11
which came out in... 2001? And is still getting updates every once in a while, to this day
testament huh
lets see what square will bust out for the ps5 gen.. hopefully by then the hardware can do more
if there's a port
i want more from the mmo
Is there a Crystal Eureka discord server?
genre, specially FF
How do I take my Chocobo out of the stables at the free company house? I seem to not have the option to
Not that I know of but the Eurekan Explorers discord covers all DC's
https://discord.gg/tXGEA4
Thanks!
@simple bolt currently i'm level 55 in Tonberry
do all mounts have the same move speed and the difference is purely aesthetic?
Yes, all mounts move at exactly the same speed
One exception is the SRS Fenrir from Mogstation which goes at 1 star speed minimum at all times, but that's the speed you unlock through doing MSQ normally, so it's not a huge deal
definitely not something you should spend 30 dollars for lol
Nobody can answer me?
I'm stuck at queue right now, sometimes the rpg trinity just doesnt cooperate
@median locust thanks mate
wanted to confirm since sometimes the mount speed bothers me
If your chocobo is in there, you should only have to interact with it, then Retrieve Chocobo or something
It is there but no option to retrieve
Thank You. They could have made it more clear because it is technically not "tending"
I guess
yeah FF11 is old af,
I remember playing it on my PS2
What do you guys do when waiting for a damn long MSQ queue
triple triad 
I want to finish Stormblood before taking a break from FFXIV
In game, I go and do side quest, level crafter/gatherer
im a healer so i cant relate
Outside, I just chat on discord, read stuff, or watch YouTube
yeah youtube mostly
@simple bolt i queued as a healer too
If you wanna be productive, farm fates for the yokai event in the meantime
i main nin/whm
whats the queue time
whm gave me 29m earlier
wha-
Im stuck at the Royal managerie
can't unsync Shinryu without like 4 people
oh you're doing sb msq lol
Can anyone help me create a party on Kujata?
why is AST card draw play to get seals so inconsistent, i'm clearly in combat, i use play on someone, and i don't get a seal. what do i need to be doing? just wasting cards on people without getting seals for divination
that's probably because you have multiple languages checked?
You only get a seal for playing a card if you're in combat
so toss your dot first
You have to be in combat + they have to be in combat
If you haven't attacked the enemy, or healed/buffed a party member who has attacked the enemy, you're not in combat
can an AST main confirm that? I don't think your target has to be in combat
i.e. you have to have enemies on your enemy list
It says so on the tooltip
uh... me?
they have to be in combat too.. ugh... thanks fissie
And I've played enough AST to know lol
lvl 80 ast here
The tooltip does not specify that the target player has to be in combat
^
You yourself need to be in combat
it says i have to be in combat. i am in combat. i have list of enemies on the bottom left. i use a card on someone. i don't get a seal. science explain?
Just checked again and yeah it doesn't, but I'm 99% certain your target has to be in combat as well
i think fissie is right
OK then
the cards themselves say "grants ___ seal when used in combat"
that could imply both targets have to be in combat
no, your target doesn't have to be in combat
All I know is, I definitely need to be in combat. And my party member usually are too, so...
all that matters is that you have to be in combat
i think that's wrong kael
One way or another
Now that Kael says it I feel more comfortable backing it up
because that was also my belief.
I've played cards on dps who haven't hit a target yet and have gotten my seal
It still doesn't change how to play drastically
and mine
because I was in combat
I've had it fail a lot in dungeons when I was in combat but the person I targetted was still running to the mob pack
it says i have to be in combat. i am in combat. i have list of enemies on the bottom left. i use a card on someone. i don't get a seal. science explain?
@thin kestrel
still
anyway, not really a point arguing it without actual evidence if we're saying opposite things
i literally just used it on a dragoon while i was in combat and didnt get a seal again
i--
Or if the enemy you were in combat with died just as you were applying the card
leaving you no longer in combat
Test it in with striking dummy, in a controlled environment
To get conclusive answer
Will the Firmament items & 500k skyward points achievements stay when the next stage of building happens,
or do I have to start power-playing to get stuff done before it's gone?
to confirm, what qualifies as in combat for ast? having a list of green enemies on the bottom left? or red enemies? or both?
Any enemies in enemy list
How TF do you get past all the guards at the Imperial Outpost! Six of them gang up on me and ALWAYS kill me swiftly 😠
Party with someone, you use malefic, then you play a card
The someone will do nothing for the first time
so then this is just inconsistent and bugged then because i always use it when i have enemies in enemy list.....
I do not have anybody to party with right now
Then reset everything, and try to test again with the someone hitting the enemy first before you make your move
so then this is just inconsistent and bugged then because i always use it when i have enemies in enemy list.....
@thin kestrel not impossible, we did get some small AST overhaul from 5.3
I don't think there is a bug that is affecting only you and not other ASTs
I said it is not impossible
Cast a few Malefics while your party member is nearby, doing nothing, then apply a card. See if you get a seal.
Have your party member attack a few times, apply a card, see if you get a seal.
Assuming you have someone handy anyway
NPCs and PCs are taking a long time to load for me in since the last patch, like a full 10 seconds. I haven't had this issue before, or at least not to this magnitude. Is this due to poor connection, server load or hardware issue? I have 8 gbs of RAM and the game's on an SSD.
@proud willow people are having similar problems, as you can see...
NOBODY going to respond?
How TF do you get past all the guards at the Imperial Outpost! Six of them gang up on me and ALWAYS kill me swiftly 😠
@calm phoenix is this in a dungeon or...?
No. Operation Archon near Vesper Bay
for all open world stuff, use chocobo. they are the answer
I tried that but there are too many of them. Chocobo is useless in that area
Use your long distance skill to pull one toward you
Maybe you are undergeared?
Get fishing / mining / botany to 46 >> use stealth to avoid enemies
no I am overgeared since my brother-in-law gave me some later level 50 gear
Then there's no reason for you to be having trouble.
no I am overgeared since my brother-in-law gave me some later level 50 gear
@calm phoenix can you take a screenshot
Just to be sure
All the accessories are not available to me yet but he gave them to me
you're undergeared, most likely
No they arent
NQ stuff are not very good
NQ?
summoner? use titan to tank and buff your defense? with chocobo?
ilvl 64 is still more than sufficient to complete that quest
max ilvl at 50 is 130 so you're definitely not overgeared
Your accessories are craftable
For this part of the story I am
Craftable gears can be HQ or NQ
use poetics to buy ironworks gear
that gear should be fine for this situation.
This is overworld enemies
Hey so I beat shadowbringers msq how do I access the neir raid
Yes, all of this talk about gear is irrelevant
not an instance or purple zone or anything
the problem is not the gear.... just to pull single mobs and get rid of them
they're ilvl 64 doing a 49 MSQ.
Pull one mob with a long range skill
You just need to carefully avoid pulling multiple enemies.
There is no reason they cant kill the targets.
use poetics to buy ironworks gear
@thin kestrel I only have 30 poetics and that was from Wanderer's Palace
which means either they're pulling too much at once
Then kill them
or
They're using the wrong abilities entirely
Try not to engage many at a time.
and sneak around the edges of the area.
That's all there is to it, really.
which means either they're pulling too much at once
@simple shore I get aggroed by several as soon as I walk by
Then avoid walking by them
.....then kill them instead of trying to walk past them.
Long range skill?
You are a summoner
You're a caster. You can attack from long range. There's no reason you should be getting into a fight with more than one at a time.
All of your attacks are long range.
I thought that you meant to extend the range even further or something
Use Titan pet to help you survive.
Pick a target, slowly move toward them until you can cast you spell, cast a spell, wait for them to come to you
Start using more spell
One of Titan's Egi Assaults is a shield for 30% of your health which might help if you aggro too many at a time

Basically just go carefully and be aware of your surroundings
or just overlevel to the point where you can one-shot them
pick off one-two enemies at a time and avoid lines of sight/proximity to enemies by sneaking around the permieter of the area.
I was told by the NPC that Titan replaced Carbunkle but which Carbuncle?
Summon II.
Summon 2
And use your chocobo as mentioned earlier
Can I buy the pumpkin orange dye anywhere
I think you might have misunderstood that
If you are a summoner.... control your pets. Pull one mob with a dot and let the pet ony engage if the mobs is close to you - you know the drill
Referring not to riding your chocobo, but summoning your chocobo battle companion.
Using Ghysal green
