remote lintel
granite swan
@drowsy grove You could try Palace of the Dead
slim jackal
How long did it generally take you guys to get to level 80 ?
granite swan
first lv 80 took as long as the MSQ slog took :p
remote lintel
maybe
you should check
thats for gil
i only know doing it for real money is against tos
wispy parcel
Selling clears and other shit for in game gil is perfectly fine
smoky girder
Aren't they adding a ton of houses soon?
wispy parcel
Yes in 5.31
granite swan
I bet they will all be sold within 30 min of server comin up tho
wispy parcel
problem is
remote lintel
pretty sure its 5.35
smoky girder
I still need another million gill....
smoky girder
How long do I have until the
remote lintel
like 3 months
smoky girder
Okay, so ill just have to stay up in like December
twilit arch
5.35 is not that far away
late geyser
I can’t progress past lvl 60 in hw even though I bought all expansions. Also I didn’t finish all msq
late geyser
There’s no code it’s digital ps4
late geyser
Imogstation says it’s not purchased but ps4 says it is
open coral
When did you purchase it?
barren valve
Is there a way to get Aetheryte earrings somehow, like even the mog station?
twilit arch
no
barren valve
without preorder
late geyser
On the sale 2 months ago half off complete edition
twilit arch
there is no way to get the aetheryte earrings anymore
open coral
No, Aetheryte earrings were the preorder bonus for ShB. You can't get them from anywhere else.
crimson wind
Does Proto Ultima have unique music or is it just Ultima?
open coral
They'll do a new one when the next expansion comes out that will scale up to level 80, probably.
smoky girder
Ahh, okay I need a million gill in like a month. I'm still in SB, what do
open coral
Just do MSQ
remote lintel
craft
open coral
You'll get like a million just from that.
crimson wind
finish msq
open coral
Do daily roulettes and weekly challenges too.
You can get a good chunk of gil from those.
late geyser
Sounds good
tacit cloak
Is there a list of "optimal" or popular zones for fates to get yokai medals or something? Trying to find populated zones for these is kinda annoying
twilit arch
proto ultima in dun scaith uses ultimta's music
smoky girder
The roulettes pay for my anima addiction
twilit arch
and i dont think the fate uses anything special
open coral
Well there's your real problem then. Anima.
Don't buy stuff for anima.
That's several million gil sunk.
smoky girder
You use gill for anima?
open coral
I think some of the steps have things you can buy on the AH, iirc.
twilit arch
can
smoky girder
I thought it was all tomestones
queen cove
yeah
agile laurel
crystal sand
twilit arch
doesn't necessarily mean they did
open coral
It's been a long time since I tried to do an anima weapon though.
queen cove
hyperconductive stuff
twilit arch
or will
smoky girder
Oh I fish for sand
agile laurel
Crafted mats for hyperconductive are pennies, i don't usually mind buying those
shy gull
"The <> you put up for sale in the <> markets has sold for..."
Is there a way to hide these notifications? I don't want to see that when I'm out questing...
twilit arch
crafted mats can also be bought from gc seals
smoky girder
Nah, I'm not spending gill on anything
limber crypt
Uh just to double check, can you still wear Regular crystarium ring + Augmented crystarium ring at same time? 
twilit arch
yes
granite swan
@shy gull You could make a new chat window that only has just say/party/fc if u wanted
smoky girder
And I just finished wep #2
granite swan
chat tab rather
shy gull
Oh, if my active chat window doesn't have the mb notifications, then it will stop the message from playing across the middle of my screen? (not in the chat box)
smoky girder
Yeah, custom chat tabs are really nice
shy gull
Yeah, it seem to have a 1 second or so flying text (? not sure the technical name) right in the middle of my screen
remote lintel
there's no way to hide them afaik
shy gull
I don't like that answer, but thank you anyways! :P. Not you fault.
faint flare
The yellow pop up text is used often in fights and generally important to pay attention to
shy gull
Yup, it's super helpful in fights. But I don't need to know that I sold 69 logs for 420 gil in the middle of my FATE
tidal current
the makai armor set isnt obtainable anymore right?
remote lintel
correct
tidal current
sad face
vestal needle
is unreal trial out yet?
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
yes
shut kelp
Best way to get allied seals?
smoky girder
I like fates
shut kelp
Ahh. Do those reset. Weekly?
slate arrow
FATES don't grant allied seals
yes, masked Carnival has challenges which reset weekly
shut kelp
I've done about 20 of them
slate arrow
You can also go for A and S rank spawns, which pop every 24-36 ish hours for A Ranks, and S ranks have special spawn requirements which should be written down somewhere
smoky girder
Oh, I'm thinking of the other things. Isn't there a tool for doing bounties efficiently
shut kelp
Ahh. How much do those give?
safe citrus
are job quests beyond level 50 unavailable for free trial players ? i have WHM at level 54 but raya-o-senna doesn't have anything available for me
shut kelp
Do people still do this content?
light warren
are you at heavensward? the job uests beyond 50 dont unlock until you get there
faint flare
You need ro get to heavensward for 50-60 job quests
Which trial can access
Just keep doing story
safe citrus
when does heavensward begin ? im at "prince of principles" in msq
faint flare
You have 80 story quests after Ultimate weapon
light warren
yeah its a long slog after praetorium
shy gull
you'll know you're about to get into heavensward because the last quest is basically a movie
smoky girder
Yeah, those patch quests need a hard nerf
remote lintel
also each expansion flashes the title on your screen in huge letters
saying HEAVENSWARD
shy gull
yup. that last quest line is actually good since it's pretty much heavensward quality. heavensward prologue.
languid wharf
I need a grinding buddy
signal garnet
does anyone have an up to date crafting optimizer?
light warren
yeah i took a week long break because i got tired of it at before the fall pt 1
twilit arch
they were nerfed, and tbh it goes by a lot quicker now
slate arrow
don't use a crafting optimizer just use the macros given in #doh-dol-lounge pins or mess with teamcraft toake your own
drowsy grove
is it worth doing the Guildhests more than once? There no extra bonus exp like the first time completing it right?
twilit arch
no
shy gull
interestingly enough, they also 'buffed'? it by forcing you to do the 3 raids
twilit arch
guildhests really aren't that great after like lvl 20 or so
remote lintel
thats hardly a buff
drowsy grove
ahh thank you
shy gull
made me super happy since I wanted to run through them, and queue times were impossible before the change
unborn dock
i'm trying to unlock the quest "drop dead shiva" in order to unlock shiva extreme, but i'm not sure why i don't have it yet. i completed the previous mission, "let us cling together", which stated that that quest completion as the prerequisite? am i missing something?
granite swan
Is there a SMN Guide on howto Bahamut/Phoenix for idiots? all these silent videos of button spam to fast to see doesnt help at all lol
granite swan
no how, i finally got bahamut up, but it never went to phoenix after
remote lintel
are you 72
granite swan
oh i was 70 in the dungeon, maybe thats why
remote lintel
firebird is 72
granite swan
ah k ill try again :p
naive kraken
you should be able to on overworld, just going through the process
oak smelt

someone posted this in general.
what is it? a pet?
do they do deliveries?
whats a delivery?
raven sage
*and gatherers
naive kraken
a way to get tokens for gathering and crafting rewards
agile laurel
@granite swan phoenix requires precisely 2 brain cells, just alternate button 1, button 2, and press enkindle on cooldown at 80
potent lava
When it says blu mage cant progress story
Does that meanone I cant interact with any quest objective at all or just that I cant "complete" thethe quest (aka green check)
granite swan
(at 80) is still 6 levels away :p and 2 brain cells is 8 more then i have >.<
agile laurel
for extra points, delay phoenix ~10sec or so to further align with raid buffs but that falls into 'trying too hard for DF'
oak smelt
eeek i still havent started crafting or gathering.
what should i start first if my sole concern is getting rich?
dawn cradle
obsidian patio
@potent lava can’t do story at all
agile laurel
probably
remote lintel
@oak smelt all of them at once
oak smelt
aight
agile laurel
if you want to play mage then blm or summoner are your best choices
remote lintel
@dawn cradle most classes in this game are from other FFs
agile laurel
although summoner plays more like warlock imho
naive kraken
they tend to snowball off each other, besides cullinarian
jagged crow
I can't find my friendship circlet anywhere is there a person I can go to and get it back?
plush hound
Calamity salvager would be your best bet
elder meteor
so squadrons are 1 priority mission per week and otherwise just doing the 20-35 missions?
obsidian patio
Yep
elder meteor
huh lame
granite swan
and leveling alt jobs
elder meteor
what level to squadron people cap at?
granite swan
Lv 60 is when they max
elder meteor

outer plank
if someone refunds the game on steam because they have an account for windows
will they be banned?
split jay
Do you have to watch the cutscene in every raid?
I’m doing the praetorium and I’ve been watching this Gaius guy talk for like 7 minutes
split jay
Thank god
floral silo
hey i was just wondering. i currently have an ff14 steam account. if i buy the base game retail version from SE store can i activate it on the same account (restarting progress which im cool with) or will i need a completely new SE account?
remote lintel
need new acc
floral silo
ty. if i switch the email of my current account can i make a new account with my old email?
remote lintel
yes
lavish vortex
hi!, ive been trying red mage for like a couple of fights now, and read all of the tooltips and potencies look pretty good, so... why is it seen as a low dps job? is there something that im missing?
plush hound
It's not, but it's more steady than burst in comparison to BLM, it's closest job
remote lintel
it has lower personal dps compared to smn and blm
lavish vortex
oh, so its the weakest of the casters, but that doesnt mean its a week job, kind of?
warped nest
97 is worse than 98 and 99
remote lintel
unless your rng is good
lavish vortex
nice, so ill keep trying it and leveling... cause im not finding it boring either
warped nest
There is a lot of optimization to be done with rdm, so any new player who didn't read guide are probably missing quite a few tricks
lavish vortex
i like the ranged and melee phase quite a lot actually haha
warped nest
Your Corp a crop and displacement is a DPS tool, it should not be limited to beginning and ending your melee phase
lavish vortex
ill read a good guide once im lvl 70ish
warped nest
Swiftcast can be used to cast a long spell
outer plank
@lavish vortex i level with you and say that comparison between dps, theirs never not gonna be a situtation unless you're in some hyper speed run comp where personal dps is gonna matter. if you play your job well you will pull competitve dps
warped nest
This allow you to try and fish another proc from the long spell
smoky girder
True
outer plank
so you can just focus on the fight
warped nest
Compared to the other two, rdm is easy to understand
Use black/white spell to build mana
smoky girder
But smn is better at everything. It's also a mess
remote lintel
i mean blm is easy to understand too its just that people dont know how to move
lavish vortex
i tried SMN for like the 1st 20 levels and it was already too messy an complicated so i quit that haha
warped nest
It is not that bad
lavish vortex
i play as BLM in some end game content, but im not the best at keeping uptime with it
warped nest
Every job is built around "generate resources and spend resources"
outer plank
you aint playing heavensward summoner, skill bloat is gonna happen on most of the dps classes
warped nest
Sometimes, some jobs have more than one to juggle
smoky girder
Yeah, I'm a sch main, so I'm used to it, but it could be a lot. I'm not gonna recommend it to my wife or anything
wispy parcel
BLM has 2 teleport abilities, just half of all BLM players forget about them.
lavish vortex
having to check dot timers is what i didnt like about SMN
outer plank
well basically smn is the affliction warlock of this game @lavish vortex
smoky girder
They're better than brd timers
outer plank
most dps jobs have atleast 1 dot to manage
but smn is all about them dots
so it can have some nice uptime
smoky girder
All healers have dots too
warped nest
At higher level, SMN dot refresh is pretty streamlined
It is only crap at lower level, like all jobs
wispy parcel
SMN if played correctly can do as much DPS as a SAM or BLM but also having support abilities
lavish vortex
yeah, the rotation depends on the dots... i feel like if you dont have the dot all of the time as BLM, is not as bad as doing it as SMN
vivid thorn
I always open with the dot spread
smoky girder
That's why I'm thinking of getting the book for my next anima
lavish vortex
i could handle smn if the enemies were always dummies, but when you add the simplest of mechanics, i cant keep up with smn rotation, i only have one brain haha
smoky girder
Also you get a carbuncle
lavish vortex
carbuncle is the reason i tried smn in the 1st place hahah
dense vigil
Quick question, how long does it take approximatel for a level 40 SMN to get all the weapons in the seasonal event yokai watch?
smoky girder
Forever, there's level 60 content to do
zinc orbitBOT
wispy parcel
yea a decent amount of them require access to HW area's
warped nest
At higher level, SMN aligns everything with their DWT (and the Firebird Stance)
smoky girder
And SB area
dense vigil
Darn..........
smoky girder
For dancers and gunbreakers
warped nest
With some practice it is not that hard to figure out what to do on the fly if you forgot
smoky girder
Yeah,
dense vigil
Im a free trial user restricted to level 60 content and HW ._. K then thanks
warped nest
For the time being, progress your MSQ
warped nest
Oh... Free trial
Oh well...
It is what it is
Free trial is designed to let people dip their toe in the swimming pool
smoky girder
These days is your entire leg
grave copper
the free trial is super super nice though
dense vigil
the free trial is super super nice though
@grave copper yea it is
warped nest
It is nice, but its primary purpose is to convert potential players into subscribers
So these sort of inconvenience (Gil limit, can't form party, cannot finish Yokai stuff etc) is to be expected
grave copper
speaking of free trial, does the physical edition for PC have a code to redeem? I don't have a disc drive but the physical edition is MUCH cheaper
dense vigil
So these sort of inconvenience is to be expected
@warped nest yeah i know 😦
twilit arch
yes, there's a code inside of the box
grave copper
ahh thats amazing, cause its like $60 vs $20
warped nest
Genuine question: the physical comes with a disc right?
What's in the disc?
Outdated version of launcher / game
That will get patched once you go online?
jagged crow
If I have loot 1/3 on puppets bunker does that mean I can run it 2 more times for loot?
slate arrow
no
You have one of the three rewards
I assume you've gotten one gear piece and then left
Since two of the three rewards are automatically granted on completion
faint flare
You didn't have inventory to receive the cluster and coin
jagged crow
oh
faint flare
Keep space in your inventory
jagged crow
I just bought more retainers so I could make space
smoky girder
The Linux launcher is also the outdated one
slate arrow
old gear can go
warped nest
You can keep foods for exp buff
slate arrow
odds and ends crafting materials can go
warped nest
But I would just buy a stack of boiled egg and use that
slate arrow
furniture items can go
jagged crow
Or... I can keep them and get more retainers 
jagged crow
idk why you assume I keep pieces
I have multiple 80 classes and a house, I just do a lot of crafting/mining and don't toss out mats
warped nest
Nice
jagged crow
Money for extra retainers isn't an issue I just keep forgetting to do so lol
jagged crow
Ye I am new to that raid that's why I asked
warped nest
Yup
honest anvil
is there a way to see how many road to 70 days i have left?
warped nest
No
Road to 70 expires
When both of these conditions are met
World is no longer Preferred
Character (with buff) is older than 90 days
So if a world somehow by some miracle stay Preferred for 9 months, Road to 70 will last 9 months
unreal cipher
Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a way to play the final dungeons of ARR in solitary mode or if there is an option to enable a hard mode?
remote lintel
no
unreal cipher
Ow
warped nest
Side note, Take note that Dungeon (Hard) are not exactly the same dungeon with harder enemies
They are usually remixes
With very different layout, and new bosses/mechanics
unreal cipher
I just finished the main story of ARR but, idk, it was epic and all but it was a rush. Like, i felt like the boss mechanics didn't matter, you just had to hit them really hard before they could do anything. I thought that as a healer I would be reviving players like crazy, but we got barely touched
warped nest
Furthermore, everyone is synced to the max ilvl in lvl 50
unreal cipher
Too easyyy, I had more tension healing during the battle against Titan than in the end
wispy parcel
and with the addition of power creep
remote lintel
most msq content is going to be easy anyway
wispy parcel
its a steam roll
remote lintel
i didnt really start to think "wow this is hard" until i got to the final boss of SB
unreal cipher
its a steam roll
@wispy parcel yeah
remote lintel
at lvl 70
warped nest
I did Shinryu normal on week 2/3
wispy parcel
Yea MSQ is casual content
warped nest
It was basically a mini EX lol
wispy parcel
not hard at all
wispy parcel
Only people who thought it was hard were the brain dead idiots on the offical forums
warped nest
OK, addressing the question
merry finch
so we can't party up on free trial?
warped nest
A level sync synced higher level players to the maximum ilvl for lvl 50
faint flare
Only if someone else makes it
remote lintel
get someone to invite you
warped nest
B msq contents aren't meant to be soul crushingly hard
C jobs have better tools and better designs from expansions, and those propagate into early levels
D players suck less
remote lintel
also for content that IS meant to be that hard, you shouldnt be reviving people like crazy anyway
if you are then youre unlikely to beat it
warped nest
/\
remote lintel
since they have enrages
warped nest
Healer challenge at high level is to optimize your healing so you can do more DPS
leaden ginkgo
Best material to buy from GC seals?
remote lintel
glam prisms
warped nest
Venture
leaden ginkgo
To sell
remote lintel
cordials or anima mats
warped nest
Glacial something is good for Gil with NPC, last I check
You should verify the prices before you go for it
leaden ginkgo
Yeah ik
warped nest
To sell on MB
I think one of the cotton/snuff (?) sells decent on MB
(last I checked)
leaden ginkgo
Cashmere Fleece?
warped nest
Yes
It is used on quite a few glamour recipe
Same advice, check your market to see if it is worth it
leaden ginkgo
I am checking
It low price and history isnt that strong compared to other stuff
Thanks anyways
potent lava
are the Parting Glass cutscenes all voiced or some text only
remote lintel
all
pine phoenix
Uh so I've beaten HV but I can't find the Yokai Watch NPC in uldah?
remote lintel
beaten what
pine phoenix
Heavensward but I have dyslexia
Also just realized the Yokai NPC has a normal sub quest icon instead of the one with a plus
willow ore
Shadowbringers.
merry finch
purchasing this game is so complicated
pine phoenix
At this point you just buy the complete edition
merry finch
can we go straight tio shadowbringers?
pine phoenix
I don't think anybody is playing on just base or storm blood at this point
remote lintel
no
merry finch
or do we start at level 1
faint flare
No
faint flare
Unless you buy skips, you start at 1
willow ore
You can still be a Viera if you buy Shadowbringers though.
faint flare
And skips are not advised for first time play
willow ore
Are The Fringes after ARR? Cause I can't get there and the yokai collab will probably end before I do, if it is.
chrome pilot
does going from trial--> complete edition still give you the 30 days subscription?
willow ore
Yes.
remote lintel
fringes are in SB
merry finch
o we will get complete edition now, anything else we should know?
remote lintel
thats all you need
pine phoenix
You can wait on getting complete edition until beating Heavensward in the trial
willow ore
Well, guess I can't get four of those collab items.
remote lintel
actually you would either need to start a new char or beat ARR to change to a viera
merry finch
well my wife wants to play the bunny race
its not selectable in trial
and we can;t party up in trial
pine phoenix
You get a free character change in game from a side quest
remote lintel
not a side quest
faint flare
Story quest
remote lintel
msq
little swift
you can get people to put you both in a party if oyu really needed that on trial
pine phoenix
TBH if you're playing in a party you can breeze through HV in like a month or two so it's up to you whether or not it's worth the convenience
plucky ether
Is this game subscription based on playstation? On the store it says its $60.
sleek roost
(which is true for all platforms)
merry finch
wait you still need a subscription?
plucky ether
So you pay the $60 then $13 a month after?
faint flare
Yes
faint flare
Its a sub based game
plucky ether
Ok
inland sparrow
Yeah, $13 per month is to have a single character per world
sleek roost
Which to be clear is all you need since one character can level every single job and switch between them
merry finch
thats not clear on the website
inland sparrow
Follow-up question for you: how do I get my wife to play ffxiv with me?
sharp spire
how much to change name in gbp?
merry finch
literally we have the game in our cart
remote lintel
it is stated on the website
remote lintel
Includes 30-day free subscription period for all newly created service accounts*. User registration and service subscription are required to play the game.
sharp spire
yeah this is a high maintenance game
wow costs the same right
subs + paid expansion
remote lintel
you can pay for sub with in game money in WoW
sleek roost
If you're not sure you can always play the free trial first and see how much you like it. The free trial goes all the way up to and including the first expansion now (level 60) which is a ton of content
remote lintel
they want to play a viera mountainwhale
whole wasp
Stay on free trial then. Also, dont be afraid to let your sub lapse if youwanna do sth else
sharp spire
when sub ends, you won't be able to log in at all?
inland sparrow
Agreed, free trial is soooo much content and you can find out if you want to drop the money
sleek roost
Correct Van
brave ravine
yea, play the trial version. if the couple are casuals they'll hit the end of trial in many months
plucky ether
Yeah the free trial seems like an insane deal.
merry finch
thanks for the info, how do we party up on free trial?
inland sparrow
The quality will draw you in imo if you have tried other free to play MMOs.
faint flare
You'll be dropping party often for solo instances and stuff
whole wasp
They invite you and your wife. Give you party leader and leave.
sleek roost
The party restriction is a weird one tbh
whole wasp
Because of bots
sleek roost
Yeah its always the bots 😦
whole wasp
They will spam party invite if they could.
faint flare
"pvp gold seller wants to invite you to a party"
sleek roost
Restrictions notwithstanding the free trial is a crazy good deal now
remote lintel
whole wasp
Almost all the free trial social restrictions is because of bots.
sleek roost
Speaking of content. 5.31 is mostly just the restoration right?
faint flare
Ye
faint flare
But all those new items That you totally dont have the scrips and scratch cards ready for
inland sparrow
Is getting a mount part of the MSQ?
remote lintel
ya
sleek roost
Yes
inland sparrow
Okay I’ll be more patient 😂
sleek roost
!faq mounts
zinc orbitBOT
inland sparrow
Thank you!
remote lintel
should update it to "being able to fly in all zones"
sleek roost
You're not wrong. Will take care of it (:
jagged crow
What do you mean some can fly in all zones
whole wasp
Previously ARR maps did not support flying.
jagged crow
Ye I know
deft quiver
where do i see the blu log?
not quest log
the dungeon log
or whatever it is that give poetics and allied seals
faint flare
Iirc its a tab in the spellbook at the top
gusty pasture
how frequent does the Mogstation store go on sale and when does it usually happen? Planning on picking up Y'shtola and lightning's attires
ivory pewter
yo is there a faster way to lvl up then queueing for dungeons?
remote lintel
@gusty pasture just had a sale so probably not for a while
queueing for dungeons is the fastest
if you have long queues as a dps you can try potd/hoh
faint flare
Yes
ivory pewter
ive been only playing tank and some healer and my god postion for the lvl up queue is 50 my god how do people do it?
ivory pewter
i can queue multiple times but without the big bonus
faint flare
Spamming roulette isn't efficient
You're basically just queing for low level dungeon at that point
ivory pewter
been stuck on qarn for like half an hour so i thought roulete was quicker
its way worse
remote lintel
you will get less exp if you try to queue for leveling more than once
faint flare
Highest level spam is better after Daily roulettes
ivory pewter
my blm is 36 so i cant do msq
remote lintel
then do potd if your queues are that long
deft quiver
is there a way to see retainer lv/xp bar
remote lintel
view attributes
deft quiver
nice
thanks
how do i unlock battle in the big keep?
seems like its a pretty big questline, but idk where its at
strange coral
It starts in Uldah, at the Sunsilk Tapestries, near the adeventure's guild
karmic niche
what true north do?
strange coral
Yes, both are from that quest line
deft quiver
what true north do?
@karmic niche makes it so you automatically get positional damage for 10 seconds regardless of position
Yes, both are from that quest line
@strange coral alright thanks
whole wasp
positional damage and bonuses
karmic niche
OH
whole wasp
so extra kenki as SAM etc
karmic niche
that is good for monk then
karmic niche
nice
sharp spire
there's toggle auto-run but i have to manually move camera
there's also steer that automatically moves camera but i have to hold button
is there no toggle steer?
nova umbra
as a caster, is smacking with your weapon while in melee range a thing people do?
granite swan
as a caster ... why are you in melee? :p
obsidian patio
It’s basically worthless to do so
nova umbra
noticed i can auto while casting
obsidian patio
No, it only happens between casts
twilit arch
ultimately its not something to really worry about
obsidian patio
Also, a single Fire 1 easily does as much as a couple hundred auto-attacks
obsidian patio
It was really only notable in the base game
And even then not something to go out of your way to do.
nova umbra
"muh parse"
plain python
do I need to download the full client when going from trial to subscription? Or I can upgrade from my trial client?
warped nest
Caster should stay in melee range for position+mechanical advantage
Don't do it for auto attack
remote lintel
as a healer pls stay in the damn range of the healers
plain python
fairy doesn't heal if too far :sigh:
remote lintel
@plain python depends what you bought
warped nest
If you can be at any range... Then stay near a healer
plain python
I bought from SE store
remote lintel
yes but what
warped nest
Starter
remote lintel
the trial downloads all of ARR and HW
warped nest
Or complete
plain python
complete
remote lintel
then you will download SB and SHB
warped nest
The launcher will download Stormblood and Shadowbringers
plain python
is is like 37GB for ARR and HW now, how big it will for other expansion?
warped nest
Around the same size

Huh, I always thought PC adds up to 60
OK, Starter Edition has the bulk of all the info, even Stormblood/Shadowbringers items
Because high level players can use high level armors/weapons/mount in starting area and new/free trial players can see them
The additional download is grabbing data like quests, cutscenes, maps, bosses, etc

do Elezen's height vary as they age?
Or to be frank, why is Alphinaud so fuckin short

elezen don't get their growth spurt until their early 20s

alphinaud is technically 16 and using a child's model
remote lintel
they split it between themselves

I'm asking because compared to aymeric
Or is this a regional thing where Ishgardian Elezens are taller
remote lintel
aymeric is 32

aymeric is full grown

so

alphinaud is a child

also what all cant blue mage do
warped nest
@gusty storm you will stay in the rear most of the time
Aoelien edge (rear) is your bread and butter
faint flare
Blue mage cant do quests outside of its job quests and it cant use duty finder normally. Needs a premade group
warped nest
Trick Attack (rear) is an attack that inflict a debuff you do every 60s. Debuff will still go off even if you don't do it from rear, hitting rear positional is more damage from the attack
Armor Crush you do occasionally

Just finished ARR as paladin but want to start samurai, should I go through msq expansions up to 80 with paladin or would it be ok to swap to samurai at 50 before I start hw
marble drift
it would be a perfectly fine time to swap
assuming you're not on free trial. which cannot swap because Samurai is a Stormblood class
warped nest
You are free to use any job or jobs to do story to your own liking
Most of us here probably swap on every new expansion

hi, I'm new here :3
but i have some questions... i've been playing free trial up until level 29 and thought of buying starter edition.
playing it on jp ps4 acc but I thought of moving to SG acc (since it's cheaper to pay than jp), will that work?

rip only 3 beast quest missions on day 1 /cry

just unlock 4 beast tribes when you have none, no allowance wasted

arent the dwarfs and qitin crafty ones tho?

SG uses SGD on playstation, my region (MY) doesn't have FFXIV for unknown reason
so I have to resort to JPY acc
but then I realised it's cheaper to buy on SG
so i'm worried if the game won't work on my acc if i buy it on sg

If you want to soak up some xp. go and grab Samurai and Red Mage

For positional skills, do i have to be at the position at a certain point of the skill or as long as i was at the position at one point during the cast?

I mean all of them, it doesnt show them all on the classes page on the game xD example being arcanist

@sour path ffxiv job guide on the official site
plush hound
Specifically to access floors 150-200 you need to start at floor 100 with a premade and have no wipes. If you wipe at any time you will have to reset at 100 and a wipe from 150-200 is an instant failure.
obsidian patio
Any wipe past 100*
plush hound
Well a wipe before 151 you can go back in without a reset, but you can't go beyond 150. I do stand corrected on the start though.
obsidian patio
No you can’t. Because I purposely wiped on floor 101 for my 1-100 solo achievement run and couldn’t resume
faint flare
No you cant go back to any floor past 100 if you wipe
plush hound
Ah, I stand corrected

when does the 2nd rank up mission for your squadron become available?

queen yoke
is there a way to reset your controller hotbar to default? I think I accidentally fck'd up mine
queen yoke
no I mean, not the placing
remote lintel
what did you do
queen yoke
I mean the things you have on them
uhh wait let me copy and paste what I told my friend
remote lintel
or just send a screenshot
queen yoke
I was playing arcanist and then I modified my hotbar and in the process the bar for the summon went poof I also lost the ability to just switch inbetween my normal hotbar with the usual spells and the summon bar as it now circles through all the hotbars in which I have something intead of just those two. I could techncially just use one of the bars and dumb things in there but and pretend it didnt happen but I know I used to have a summon specific hotbar that I could access just by pressing RB once instead of RB + X, Y,B or A/Left, Up, Right or Down
maybe it would be easier to explain if show the problem through a stream
remote lintel
i get it
queen yoke
any idea?
queen yoke
alright I'll try it out

May I know what do you gear alt jobs with?
at level 80
I don't think it's possible to get Crystarium gear for all, right?

Eden Verse gear is pretty accessible

In terms of weapons the easiest ones would be relic or neo ishgard
stable herald
is the upgraded Neo the "easiest" so to speak?
obsidian patio
Yes
stable herald
Like, I an immediately gear my other jobs I mean
remote lintel
and takes less time imo
warped nest
It only cost gils to buy neo, and Phantasma to get rain
If you already have 2000 Phantasma...
remote lintel
if you dont have phanta spamming eden verse would take less time than farming it

obsidian patio
Do note that some job quests can take you into later HW zones

like I said I can stream to explain my problem easier because its kind of a niche thing

@granite swan finish role quest, talk to grenolt
The upgraded stuff comes from Memoria EX

@queen yoke do you have "display both the pet hotbar and cross hotbar" enabled

Ah

^ for the 430 version yeah go say hi to Grendolt
granite swan
is Mem just fighting the same guy but in group?
marble drift
with more mechanics
halcyon glen
and harder
granite swan
ah
obsidian patio
It’s basically an extreme fight
warped nest
If you are still doing story, definitely grab the 430 from grendolt
It is free stuff
halcyon glen
But 430 ain't enough to get into 5.3 story
granite swan
I thought it might make it look diff, but if its just upgrades :p
halcyon glen
Dyeable
warped nest
Oh, I meant the 5.0 story
queen yoke
@remote lintel Yes
granite swan
ah
warped nest
You should upgrade with tomestone, raid, etc to progress 5.1-5.3 story
halcyon glen
or just cheat like I did
warped nest
430 from grendolt is for completing 5.0
halcyon glen
and buy Neo-Ish
granite swan
Ya i got Grenolt Armor and bought Neo Ish acc
remote lintel
wynne do you know how to solve this hotbar problem
halcyon glen
...Please don't tell me you're planning to tank Gauntlet with 430 left side
granite swan
Well i wanted to get into stuff and needed em :p i wont need that for other classes heh
halcyon glen
or do anything in Gauntlet
granite swan
<- RDM
warped nest
Go and do e1-4 first
queen yoke
maybe if I streamed it it would be easier
granite swan
I got almost full nier immedately after, only thing lackin is my boots now
waitin on ev for my fc ;p
granite swan
but but thats 2 more letters ;p that works lol
remote lintel
@queen yoke alternatively you could just put your pet commands on another hotbar
granite swan
why is it a pokemon term? O.O
remote lintel
ev and iv are pokemon terms
granite swan
uh first i heard lol
remote lintel
its mainly for competitive use
elder meteor
how does it determine the level of new squadron recruits? based on like the average or lowest level you already have or something?
queen yoke
I could but I wanna know if I can fix it since it was a nice commodity to switch so easily
granite swan
average
queen yoke
not like its super hard anyways
remote lintel
i would say try unchecking the "use pet hotbar" and then log out and log back in and check it and apply again
granite swan
so if you got a lv 20 recruit and a bunch of lv 60s ... ur probly gonna get like a mid 30 or 40 new recruit
elder meteor
cool ty
queen yoke
maybe my problem is my head, the pet toolbar isnt any of the 8 normal toolbars right? its a independent one, right?
remote lintel
yes
queen yoke
Yes... what?
granite swan
yes its independent

Uhh never mind I am hyper retarded you can't access the summon pet bear if your summon isnt "summoned"

if you're looking for command missions, make sure you got both your dps as rogue
they do by far the highest dps of all the npcs
granite swan
and the wiki tells you where to get specific squadies if you want to customize their race/gender
tawdry otter
that it atm my roster
granite swan
Arent archers better since they dont have to move?
open rivet
will have to test against archer, but pretty sure rogue still outperforms
but thaumaturge & lancer just don't do anything, like, they do less than the tanks
granite swan
Arcanist was kinda fun ... except he ends up tanking
tawdry otter
i dont even know which npc would be good for operations and missions
granite swan
for missions it would change every week, or so ive read
for command missions i like Glad Tank and not sure about dps yet, i just finished my 40 so i can make em whatever i want this morning

So is Shoha just an extra oGCD damage skill?
