you also use it in your opener
Is there anywhere to buy grade 1 carbonized matter?
Q: Meditate and Shoha?
- We no longer use Meditate in our opener and instead use it exclusively for downtime.
- Use Shoha every 3 stacks (sometimes between Midare and Tsubame).
that gives you 3 stacks
@slate crow nope, gotta gather it
And to get the new upgraded neoishgard gear, we have to get the Aetherstone?
There is no reason NOT to use Shoha tho
right. Gotcha.
shoha near the end
First Stack: Higanbana
Second Stack: Midare Setsugekka
Third Stack: Kaeshi Setsugekka
Shoha
to augment neo-ish, you have to exchange either NQ or HQ (HQ is 1:1 trade) for Eulmoran Certificate of Novelty and Undersea rain (which is bought with phanta)
Oh.. Damn. hmm.. i guess I can consider crafting it then
So i got a recruit from achievement but i dont see him wtf am i missing something?
go to teh barracks and click on enlistment papers
Yea it says no new enlistments
how many people did you have

So...I'm confused. I main scholar but am moving to astro so I'm super new to the spells. What order do I use these spells? Sometimes sect is grayed out or whatever and I can't use it. Why? (Not because level sync)
anyone know when maintenance is happening?
@remote lintel What do you mean? Sorry I'm a slow learner cx
@willow breach in like 20ish hours i think? its tonight i believe anyway
you need to put diurnal sect on to use aspected benefic
you cant change to nocturnal sect in the middle of combat
@willow breach roughly 24hrs iirc
Oh! That makes sense!! Thanks!!
you need to have it on to use abilities that require it
Can u refer old players or is there a timelimit? On how many subs and months ur buds have before they are denied refer access?
@remote lintel One more question. Can I and is it worth it to put sect on the whole team? Or just tank?
you mean aspected benefic?
typically put it on a tank before pull
if another person needs a regen put it on them
RAF limit is that the player you are giving the code must not have purchased their first month of sub, the free first month from buying the game doesnt count
idk if there is a limit to number of RAF code you can give out
@whole wasp When do they put in the referall code? My friend is using free sub but im getting him paid sub soon and want to use my referall
Thanks @whole wasp
@remote lintel Okay thanks ^.^
In Mogstation. Its the giant banner with teh chocobo
they put it in during the free 30 day period
they cant put it in during trial or after they bought time
@whole wasp OH. Well shoot I don't got much time left to get hik to do it XD
After they purchase the game but before they subscribe for the first time
Okay so I bought him the bundle that gives him 30 days free. So he enters in in these 30 days?
Ohhhh
as long as he hasnt bought a month of sub, its fine
Yeah i bought him the game for his birthday XD So much money....my wallet...XD
if they never sub after, they are always eligible
Okay awesome!@
I was told he couldn't until he did sub but maybe they meant until free trial was over
oh and they are not allowed to buy subs until the free 30 days are over so they cant accidentally screw themselves either
i thought they can?
nope. cant purchase subs until free 30 days are over. got alot of people asking why they cant buy subs
Oh good XD good. But it can be during the free subscription? Not trial, but the sub that came with the bundle?
some EU law i think
How do i get to the Golden Saucer from Ul'dah? sorry
Airship
@drowsy grove Talk to the well heeled youth
@sour path yes
is that by the Wellhead Lift?
@whole wasp Does that include the free 15 days if u hit 30 on a pref server? or just the first 30?
@drowsy grove if you attuned to every aetheryte you can just teleport to the airship
i uhh not sure.
Poor smug XD GIVE US ALL THE ANSWERS! Sorry i just thought it was funny xD you're so helpful though!!
Cause i was gonna go ahead and sub soon for my xp helm >.<
you gotta do the unlock quest for golden saucer first. then the airship is unlocked for subsequent travels
oh and you gotta do the lvl 15 MSQ to unlock airships in the first place if you havent
I wonder if RAF reddit is better then, cuz wonder why new players would even bother to select my code
to get goodies
Most posts ive seen in steam and reddit offer gifts kinda
because they gave me 3 million gil to help me start out
3 mil aint much in the end but it feels nice
I asked someone from this channel for theirs :p
I still only have like 200k ish. And 90% of money atm was cuz my budโs free company lol
at what point do you stop getting gold feathers from RAF
We only like 3 peps
@remote lintel for recruiting new people it stops at 5, and iirc 180days subbed per person?
yea, you get limited number of golden feathers per person iirc
@granite swan ive asked kinda got told to go to reddit/forums cuz idk if this server is for โnew playersโ
I think ill try subbing tomorrow and see if its the same here in US, or if EU is diff >.> Cause that would suck having to wait another 20 or so days before i can sub lol
so you can recruit 5 people and each of those people sub for 180 days and thats the max you can get?
just checked, 270 days for the amount of subbed days
@untold sand Well i just figured id help one of the ppl who helped me in return :p
@remote lintel yes
i see
Idk @whole wasp whats the new member/newbie color here?
there is no newbie role
there isnt one
20 feathers max per person + 5 feathers for the first recruit, so 105 Gold feathers total
there is an undecided role i guess who are usually newbies
@granite swan i mean i would if i could. But already used my buds code lol
Odd question, does anyone have any recomendations for a jp server where i can find english speaking fcs and people?
tonberry and kujata
Tonberry is the main Aussie/Oceania server
Fair
Kujata is the designated spillover
that said, there are still more japs than english even there
Can you drop mount or minion from the king moogle extreme thing?
My 2 buds play kinda a lot and i think our free company only has like 500k tops so i cant gift 1mil per player lol
Got it. Would have preferred a preferred (haha) world but the aetheryte earing will have to suffice i suppose
Mog Extreme has no mounts or minions.
Is there a cap for fc members? Dont remember
yeah, but you realistically won't reach it
Is it that high? Or just not common?
Uncommon.
its 512
2^9
Geezus the chats must be hell then
I've been in a large FC such as that before and rarely has there ever been more than 100 on at a time. Chats were relatively easy to keep track of even with a completely full FC. Then again, however, such large FCs are somewhat rare. Usually only one or two on any given server.
@whole wasp @remote lintel Thanks!\
If I don't turn in Key Items for a collecting FATE, do I get to keep them in my inventory when the FATE ends?
No they disappear
Can I ask a lore related question?
It's not a spoiler.
Is there a glowing Dancer weapon?
yes to both
What is it
Why do Moogles have a balloon on their head?
A user on discussion told me that the pom is actually the Moogle itself and the body is a decoy
Looked it up and can't find anything like that
I'd say the pom is more for mating,
like a display of sexyness
!iglam padjali war quoits
they're always talking about who has be best pom,
so it has to be a status symbol, right?
For materia I was told to do crit hit primary for scholar, whats primary for astro?
I'd say the pom is more for mating,
like a display of sexyness
Well on the wiki it said that the color of the pom varies depending on the age of the Moogle or something like that
I just wanted to check if what the user was saying was actually true, thank you so much
How do you acquire the glowing dancer weapon? Palace if the Dead and hope it drops??
@sour path you don't need to meld below 80
Hey, are stormblood/heavensward areas story locked or level locked
click the link admiral
I did
story
It says nothing
o7 ty
@remote lintel My scholar is 80 and I'm just wondering for when my astro is
Is there a craft able glowing Dancer weapon?
Its not a drop, you convert your Aether Wep into a real one, i think u sacrafice 30/30 points for it or something
spell speed to tier > crit > DH > Det unless you want a higher piety build
@remote lintel Spell speed in general or just for astro? What do you mean to tier?
is there a popular LS like Novice Network but for Fates/Achievements/World Bosses?
not sure but, are we allowed to ask for help in clearing duties here in this channel?
@remote lintel Gotcha ^.^ So prioritize spell speed? Or just do a few and the rest crit?
prioritize spell speed until you hit the tier
How would I know if I did? o:
!faq balance
has the builds
@gloomy mortar Shinryu is the only one for the time being
Potd or hoh do have glowy DNC weapons, but those you have to grind
!faq astbis
Max Standard Set 
"From Mana With Love"
Etro (2.38, 684)
SpS Sets 
"MonkaW"
Etro (2.32, 684)
"Raid SpellSpeed Legends"
Etro (2.32, 838)
"MonkaWorse" (highest damage
)
Etro (2.32, 684)
SpS sets are higher damage than the standard set, but it is recommended to only play around with them once you are comfortable with a fight, and probably not a good idea for PF weeklies (or PF in general for NA and EU folk, realistically).
Safer MP Set 
"2.39 is fine"
Etro (2.39, 1049)
Although it's usually smart to double check on The Balance anyway incase the faq is slightly out of date
is there a way to have gae bolg have particle effects?
Upgrading it?
ohh there's an upgrade? Okay I'll look it up ๐

@gusty pasture thats a video on How to grind one
Are clan hunts good for exp?
What is the lowest level one can enter the housing district?
Technically level 1; if you are a member of a Free Company that has a house, you can use the teleport list to teleport there regardless of whether you've unlocked access to that district through other means.
Otherwise, you must unlock access by doing the level 5 sidequest "Where the Heart Is" which has a separate version for each district
when can you use the hookset abilities on fisherman?
When Patience or Patience II are active
other than that, when?
Never
They are catch actions
only usable when you've hooked something?
use in place of
Hook
ah
Are ShB dungeons supposed to hit pretty hard for big pulls?
Patience increases HQ chance but lowers the chance to catch using Hook
by a large amount.
indeed
So you're supposed to use hookset with them
instead of hook
And use the appropriate hookset depending on light or medium/heavy tug
Precision for small, powerful for medium and large.
To explain a bit
- im on augmented scaeven
- running as WHM, I ran out of mana quite quickly, but I USUALLY dont run out of lilies.
- There are some pulls where the HP keeps tanking like a mofo
Thanks for the response
I forget what the text terms are exactly, I'm familiar with identifying the size based on the tug animation and sound effect.
im just worried about doing big pulls as a AST
yeah i think i used it correctly this time but still fell short
if im already sweating as a WHM, wont AST have a harder time?
@stable herald not necessarily
if im already sweating as a WHM, wont AST have a harder time?
@stable herald probably
I find in big pulls, after shields drop, the tank hp is dropping pretty fast
you're liable to blow all your resources too early then get stuck with just benefic II
But I do see CD usage
is their gear bad
Nah. Aug Scaeven
Like ya know in the first dungeon, after.. the first boss
that wall to wall?
and star being on a delay and is a dps tool makes it hard to rely on
pulling wall to wall in holminster is hard
Loses QUITE a bit of HP in that pull
and horoscope is . . . better than nothing
i never pull wall to wall in that dungeon
Thats why I rolled WHM first
i wanted to gauge how painful a wall to wall in there was
But no one died, and tank survived a 3 stack vuln in the first boss, so I should be doing something correct
i see. Thanks
How long roughly does it take to reach 60 and finish HS? Currently a trial, and I'd like to get the complete edition soonish, but if it takes a few months to finish trial content, I might wait.
ast can definitely do big pulls tho
if you know what youre doing
@untold vessel few weeks
a friend is downloading the game, if he closes it will it continue the download ?
why is ul'dah so difficult to navigate. trying to find airship landing but map stacks all layers on top of each other so i just cant find it
Oh hmm, might just get the complete edition now, really want to start looking for an FC and tired of the whole social locks lol
@olive herald the airship landing can only be reached from the elevator iirc
@remote lintel do teach. WHM has 3 oh shit heals. AST has one
like the game is like 30% if he closes the launcher so he can continue downloading later on will he have to start from 0 the download?
AST has 2 essential dignities plus synastry plus lightspeed
you can swap to noct put shield on tank then swap back to diurnal before pull
yes
I see
what are the other 2 oh shit heals on whm
swapping to whm actually felt slower to me
Recommend against thinking of your cooldowns as "oh shit" buttons at all
yeah I don't get what they're referring to
Essential dignity is on a 40s cooldown and has two charges
And you have synastry buff for your GCDs, collective unconscious flash, celestial opposition, celestial intersection
and horoscope
At higher level, you should be using all the tools at your disposal
To not get into a "oh shit" situation
and earthly star is kinda similar in function to assize
Is there a way to bind hotbar swapping to mouse buttons like with the expanded controller setup?
idk if this is related to the chat but, my friend installed ff14 (launcher) into his G: drive but, when he executes the launcher, the launcher downloads the game and the patches to local disk C
has anyone acquired a fix for this?

How important is the stabby girl in the Trust System? Can i swap her for kittygirl?
it doesnt matter who you take with Trusts really
Some if them may have some lines sorta related if they happen to be part of the msq at the time
Oh, thought someone said tankboi lost something without her
it really doesn't make that much of a difference
it lets him use his cartridge combos, but the dps is not significant
does catgirl use aoes or is it all single targets?
she has a few spells with splash damage, but like all trusts in general
doesn't use aoe
ah
trusts aim for a certain clear time
if you are slow, they AoE, if you are fast, they do not AoE
no
Wonder what the best combo is then heh
they don't aoe, period
if you are super slow, they instantly delete mobs by casting death and flare sometimes
doesn't matter
what really?
yes, really

which melee between SAM and DRG is more recommended for a newbie player?
DRG
Cuz its easier?
Whats the big diff between the 2 healers?
@granite swan not a lot
icic
I know Uri is an astro i think? not sure what alphi is
SCH
academician
or rather, an adjusted SCH called Academician
alphi has old SCH spells and his own unique carbuncle
Uri is just astro and he sometimes cast death
what is death
uhh its like BLU's lvl 5 death
except it kills one mob instantly
yup
wish he did that in the story ๐
Death of the Seventh Dawn is the name of that spell
hey whats the fastest way to level gatheres? and 2nd best. incase the first is levequests and i have 0
ishgard restoration
go in, smack stuff until you can do class quest, come out do class quest, go back in
no, there is an airship captain on the left side when you enter
he will ferry you to diadem
ohh
which is a special openworld map with gathering nodes
๐
whats tomorrow maint about?
will ACT be down
probably
ugh..
because ACT basically breaks on every patch
why on reset everytime ughhh
Any decent money making guide or method?
cause maintenances are only on reset 
craft and play the marketboard, there's no reliable guides cause if everyone uses the same method, it becomes extremely unlucrative due to overcrowding, undercutting etc @untold sand
Well then i wonder how some players have several mil
The start of new patches are extremely lucrative
I made ~12-14m on the first week of like 4.3 or 4.4 simply by reselling a ton of crafting and combat materia I scrounged up over time.
If I actually bothered with endgame crafting on the first week of patches I easily couldโve doubled that.
Furniture also sells very good whenever new housing wards are added
Since thereโs a sudden spike in demand
that hadn't occured to me
there a way to easily find all 100% spiritbound items you have?
I swap between all my gearsets and look at the inventory dot UI and see if any have white dots (those mean items at 100%)
After that itโs simply a case of remembering to extract whenever they hit 100%
expert dungeons and raids give a certain % spiritbond per clear right?
theres no way to buff with the spiritbond potion?
If itโs too high/below the content youโre doing it simply doesnโt bond, unless itโs from 0% to 1% so it binds to you
ahh
im mostly doing lvl 80 stuff
its like 5% per nm raid
forgot about expert
how much it gave
So I still can't installed the game because I can't find a internet explorer version that will download to my Windows 10 operating system. Where can I find this archaic browser?
Though I will say that Crystarium gear definitely bonds notably fast in the new dungeon, 24-man, and extreme trial
oo
since lvl 80 dungeons dont give exp per kill tho, its only a set chunk of spiritbond rewarded at the end isnt it?
hmmm i dont think u would need Internet explorer just to dl the gamer
I havenโt done much sciencing on spiritbond since the 5.3 changes
Just noting whatโs been bonding my gear
ah ok
What are some Gil cost sinks later on in the game ?
will I get veteran rewards if I play using timecards and not subscriptions?
yes
so it counts towards "days subscribed?
yeah
housing and glam are the gil sinks
Repairs start to become a bit more expensive over time
if u raid, raid food and crafted gear too
Not exactly Gil sinks, as they go to other players
The tax on the marketboard would be a Gil sink, though
ahh
okay one last thing, I bought the CE 12 days ago so I still have 18 days of free play. should I sub now or wait til the free play time is over?
Ah. Ok. Iโm just interested in raid and prob glam later on. Is the end game weapons obtainable only by looting it only right ?
put in a recruitment code before you add any paid sub to your account since that's the only time when you can get recruited @gusty pasture
BIS sets can use a mix of tome gear and looted gear
Odd patches add catch-up methods to make it easier to get near-endgame gear
but beyond that the automatic sub won't charge you till your current game time runs out, and game time card days will just get added to the current 18 days
theres also crafted gear thats slightly lower ilvl but lets u catch up quick
I am recruited by a friend
Like upgrading the crafted gear to be equal in item level to the weekly tomestone gear (not upgraded)
though I dont know where to get my gold feathers
Ah I see.
you get them in mail, but only when you sub i think
oh yeah you get silver
silver feathers for free leveling gear
oh damn I just finished HW I could have used that
i think you can buy up to scaevan gear with them? for level 70
I think you can yeah

whre do I get the silver feathers?
Is any of the gold feather stuff worth it ? Iโm just wondering if I should make an account and buy a game on it to get rewards.
You can get the โrareโ dyes with them
mounts for 10/15 respectively
Which are normally only from the mogstation or rarely from ventures/marketboard
i doubt it's worth the money though
Do note that the amount of gold feathers you can get is currently limited
unless you're a whale or something
So if you buy too many of the dyes you can lock yourself out of the mounts
But ignoring the mounts, pure white and jet black dye are best value for the feathers
Since those are usually very expensive on the marketboard. (Easily over 200k for some servers)
is it just me or is the level 60 RDM quest battle really difficult
failed it three times already. twice at normal difficulty, once at easy
what's your gear and weapon ilvl
when he applies a debuff on you, did you heal yourself?
i know gear is part of it. but i just find it strange that other job quest battles even when you're not at the proper gear, they're still pretty straightforward
this one is a struggle
and yes, i did heal myself
to full?
90%?
this one specifically has some mechanics, the NPC told you about it
i mean if you're at like i130 you're gonna have issues with all level 60 job quests
when the enemy attacks you and applies a debuff, heal yourself to full to avoid the vuln stack
would suggest getting shire equipment (minimum weapon, body, leg)
Does 5.31 going to unlock eden savage?
what's the lowest item level equipment on you? (since that should be more like 260-270 at lv60)
eden savage is already out
oh i see
oh you mean remove the restrictions
Ye
probably not it's ishgard stuff
generally to unlock something means to make it available
DesolaterX: don't know yet although it's likely since 5.3 itself was delayed (otherwise it would have been unlocked [drops wise] in 5.35)
the augmented idyllshire gear are between 240-270...
its possible, but we don't know for certain
if I finish all of the anima weapons up to cronus lux on my DRK, can I start at the last steps for AST or do I need to work thourh all the weapons again?
So I still can't installed the game because I can't find a internet explorer version that will download to my Windows 10 operating system. Where can I find this archaic browser?
you have to work thru the stages again on AST
Can I pick the appearance to nab, or to I have to do it all consecutively again
So, how come it asks me which quest I want to repeat? Will it just not let me unless I have it on AST?
im sure u dont need internet explorer
@leaden ginkgo nope, grind its grind and you need to do it everytime again
2b: have to start from scratch for each weapon or its replicas
Oki, thanks, time to buy lots of mats
Was capped on poetics and just wanted to know if I should dump it on mats
again
jd: internet explorer is used by the launcher, not as in using it as a browser. you can use edge/chrome/firefox/whatever to get the installer
chaos
Uhm heyo people, i've just started pรฅ playing FF and i was wondering if anyone had any good guide videos/webpages that could help me get more into it and understand the game and it's basics, im not new to mmo's i resently quit wow after 6 years. ^^ Any help would be appreciated, have a great Day โ๏ธ
!faq newplayertips
looks like a lot, isn't really
ooh i remember that infographic when i started out. it's really helpful
Don't be shy to drop by and ask more detailed question
ok i finally beat the RDM blond
But I can give you one very important "tip" : don't be afraid of making mistakes
jd: internet explorer is used by the launcher, not as in using it as a browser. you can use edge/chrome/firefox/whatever to get the installer
@left moth but I've been told that the reason both times I've tried install it and it hasn't worked is because I don't have explorer
what browser did u use?
is there a way I can always put tank at the top of the list?
No
no, you are always put at the top
chrome first then edge @sour slate
ahh damn. It feel awkward since I'm currently trying out DPS and I got used to having my tank at the top
hmm i just downloaded it fine on my chrome browser
If you are playing DRG... What happen in the party list... Tbh, is really none of your business, most of the time
@agile laurel thank you โ๏ธ
Side note, I am told that with default, the DPS are always arranged by melee, Ranged, and then mages.
hmm i just downloaded it fine on my chrome browser
Oh then I must be having a unrelated problem
is there any error message that pops up?
ya
whats it say?
o.o
That's when installing with chrome
hmm the window seems to be ffxiv launcher
when I tried installing with edge it worked but when I went to open the launcher it came up with "unable to update patch files 11005"
it is the launcher yep
i think its an issue with the launcher not the browser, but i dont really know whats wrong
can try clear cache or something
yeah unless are trying to "start" the installer from a temp folder (I'm lost)
Heartpiercer: no, you need access to ishgard (foundation) which is 50 minimum
can you get blue mage abilities from doing trials unsynced? is the chance of getting the spell 100%?
" try empty out the Internet Explorer's cache - yes the game client uses IE for its web interface irregardless to your preferred browser."
wow
yes you can get them unsync, and no its not 100% if you do it unsync. Its 100% if you do it sync'd @violet star
we actually need internet explorer after all?
say whorleater
~~all ARR primals need extremes ~~except ifrit iirc
ifrit can be done on normal
not all of them are extreme
we actually need internet explorer after all?
I guess so which brings me back to the problem of the fact I can't find a way to install IE
mountain buster (titan's) is also in hard mode
so is ramuh's
only one afaik that's absolutely in ex is shiva's
garuda too
the rest can be done in hard mode except ifrit that can be done in normal mode
jd: if IE isn't there as an app (to reset its settings to default) then have to enable it as a "feature" (sic) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026136/windows-10-use-internet-explorer
how do i keep the bgm of the game on when im tabbed out?
so i have a very old account since the game released on ps3, can i still use that account to convert it to PC? or i miss my chance ehen they allowed that years ago haha
afaik playstation and pc licences are seperate
should have been converted to a ps4 copy otherwise have to buy again for windows or mac license
yeah, you're probably fine on ps4 but not on pc
well on the bright side, levelling is super fast now ๐
the o ly thing i am missing is my warruor of light helmet and that awesome lion mount, its the onky reason i bought the collectore back in days
are those still avilable to get now a days?
I think you still get the warrior of light helmet with the deluxe edition (or whatever it is called)
the veteran rewards have been converted into achievement certaficates, well most of them
How do I get Erudite's Picatrix of Casting without buying it
Cos it costs over 35k on the market board
I just said that
as wynne said, you need to be a lvl 50 alchemist
does fantasia ever go on sale?
O right alchemist
Yes, Sovereign
@covert hazel Yeah I just checked, the collector's edition includes the warrior of light helmet
I'll just ignore that quest for now
but not the lion mount
there was a big mogstation sale like a month or so ago
for subscription time (squall jacket and the like). collectors editions can be freely upograded to (although no physical goodies). preorder bonus items can't get
also the game dont have monthly sub right, you just buy the gameand the expansions are for frre??
not sure what lion mount you're talking about, but the ones i am thinking of are still very much available
no you have to buy the expansions
they are not free
Well there definitely are some lion mounts ingame, yeah
and yes the game does have a monthly sub
are the game free to try for start? i woukd like to hsve fun aroynd charcster coustmazation
cool, i wanna create some of thkse new races and check them out
will check tgus trial account on their site and see how it goes
hope the game is not big space lol
how is the steam version of the game
about 50 gb iirc
is it recomnded?
well apparently the steam trial client and the actual game client are a bit different so you'd have to redownload once you upgrade
steam version is no different from the one you get from SE. only thing to note is that if you buy from steam you're locked into steam for any and all future purchases
but other than that it's down to your personal preference
steam version usually isn't recommended since less sales on expansions, and are locked to steam as a platform for expansions. the launcher is 100% the same, the service account isn't
there also have been bugs in the past where people would think their accounts are locked when trying to play from a shortcut on desktop and not launching from steam
yes, servers aren't seperated by platform
steam, non steam pc, and ps4 all play on the same servers
everyone goes thru mogstation for account managment
yea
on the other hand, steam wallet is a thing so people who love steam wallet definitely uses steam
do i just click on the download demo version that come with traial versiob on the go in steam
you won't notice it haha
or i need to do something first
oh really? Cool cool I never did notice haha
everybody is on the same server regardless of platform
you can even play with a gamepad on pc
the client is exactly the same on all platforms
random question: what's the GNB mount?
do they even have one? ๐ค
a lion iirc?
a panther
I thought that was DRK?
no, lion is pld and panther is drk
war tiger (second one has questionable fashion armor plating. just like the other tier 2 tank mounts)
those are some big teeth
Honestly, that looks way better than the DRK one
so i guees my account will be EU / forced to be one

you'll have to create a mogstation account regardless I think
not always
like some countries are listed under EU yes, but there are a few weird ones that are put under NA
one last quwstion, as of now is the game simple and strightforward let says...like world of warcraft or its packs way too much stuffs and items
you'll have to create a mogstation account regardless I think
@glossy flare alongside eu square enix one or no need??
does desynth dungeon gear give you anything nice, or I should just turn them for GC seals?
your mogstation account is something different from your SE account
so yeah, alongside that one if steam forces you to create one
i see thx
one last quwstion, as of now is the game simple and strightforward let says...like world of warcraft or its packs way too much stuffs and items
@covert hazel what abkut this please
I can't really comment on the wow comparison so I'm not sure what you mean ๐ค
iceda: if anything the game defaults to hand holding for a long time assuming it's baby's first mmo. there's a ton of items and content available but nothing is really forced outside msq (cough crystal tower looking at you). most of the issue I've had playing is resisting the urge to pack rat everything
There definitely is a lot of content for a lot of target audiences. From casual to hardcore to feeding our glamour addiction
i see
i asks cause asians mmo tendd to have way to much systems mechanics and tons of items for every single minor thing
way too much it should be
as a german/eu starting player in around 1 weeks .. is there a better data center to go in, our both EUs are fine? anyone know? ๐
I know I hate the way item storage works in this game, but that may just be personal preference. (I mean retainers and the somewhat weird systems attached to them)
either one is fine but light has a bigger german population due to shiva being the unofficial german server @outer pilot
as a german/eu starting player in around 1 weeks .. is there a better data center to go in, our both EUs are fine? anyone know? ๐
@outer pilot in terms of latency both are fine, just be sure to pick the one where your friends are
majority of items (for crafting) are expansion contained. food buff wise most people just focus on end game stuff and not worry (unless doing challenge runs)

@green grail thanks! ๐
@outer pilot in terms of latency both are fine, just be sure to pick the one where your friends are
@glossy flare got none, will start completly first time and alone as new one ๐ - and thanks for your answer too! :9
time to make some new friends online then ๐
yeah for sure ๐
Does leaving FC cause a timer until you can join next one?
i think there's like a 30 minute one?
okay thanks
I am storm second lieutenant but the quest to unlock hunts is not appearing
I'm already in postgame heavensward
Are you trying to unlock Heavensward hunts? the ARR hunt unlock quest is a prerequisite
Need to unlock all the hunts in order I believe
whats the the fragmented sphere of corrupted crystal to the the north of mordhona? can one get there?
I think it's an entrance or exit to one of the Binding Coil raids
how do i get the trial account code
i tried downloading the demo version on steam, but it asks me fkr agame regstration code
i need ro nake SE account to get a code?
you need to make a SE account either way
but if you register through the trial launcher it should just let you through and flag you as a trial player
so it won't be asking for a code
that doee not deem the case in steam?
i thought the demo version is a one to go package
you need a SE account when playing on steam too, like a lot of steam mmos
not all of them have steam accounts integrated into their user databases or whatever
your steam account is just connected to your SE account i think, so you're able to pay for sub with steam wallet etc
i mean there's no such thing as a "free trial code"
if its asking you for a registration code then it means the starter edition code, which is the paid base game
some told me tgere is trial account thingu
the hoe do i try the game for free for some time now
!faq freetrial
you can try and download the trial launcher
Free Trial users have a different launcher
so i cant do tjat from steam?
steam trial should be "xiv online free trial" not "xiv online"
oh
right
i saw the demo thought jts free
but ya gotta look for something difreant
thx
๐คจ so why i cant play the game on the go and asking me for a code??
Can you show a screenshot
nvm
my bad
i should have closed the windoes and rebot the launcher to log in my account haha
my apologies
now wait for this big load to finish
thx everyone and sorry for trouble
the game doanloading data will get resumed where it stops if i cancle the download or i have to stsrt all over again?
Yo has anyone done Alpha scape v4.0 (savage)
Yeah, what about it?
Im new to savage raiding in ffxiv
and im on japanese server so its hard to learn about them
could you explain what all the letter and number mean in chat
eg
TTH2H1,134
bro
first part is for patch tether order
1 3 4 is for hello world defamations
You join a raid and it 4131234m12idfmie9udsmfu9n1nr3iunduind2hjnbd1`jk2
mdiu1mi2unmd21d1
ddm12uijdnm`1
its just specific strats
T: tank position, H: healer position, D: dps position (presumably for numbers slide which is arena split and position swap; and hello world)
you'll find that majority of content like savage and extremes have fight macros like that for strats and assigning positions
Oh

They're also oftentimes variable by DC in terms of wahts "normal"
Other than food and inn, is there another important xp buff you can easily get?
TTH1H2 is the order in which you break "patch" tethers, i just explained that
JP macros are going to be significantly different than NA macros usually
@unborn bay friendship feather for lv. 25 and below
1 3 4 is a strat for hello world where the first defamation hits 3 people, then the other 4 people get hit
joker: lower levels have xp buff equipment (hall of novice notable and friendship circilet)
but it's still a savage fight so you'll need to find guides explaining the mechanics in detail to know how to execute them
Oh I didn't know it was level specific. I'm above 35
post that (35) need preorder earrings which are impossible to obtain
Yeah you cant just walk into a savage, even a Stormblood one, blind and hope that you can figure it out.
Play whatever you want. There's no such thing as a bad one.
I like everything and I touched a couple, can't decide which one to do Heavensward with
I guess I could play AST for queue time since I don't mind any of the roles lol
But also I'm not too sure
would go with whatever is the most fun to play (relatively speaking). if it's unlockerd can fool around in palace of the dead or heaven on high (as long as there's an understanding that one does not seriously learn in potd/hoh)
yeah potd doesn't let you do rotations
Potd is something you are scaled to 60?
I hate being in a dilemma like this, I'd much rather want to click with something and stick with it for at least one playthrough lol
even veterans of the game play a bunch of different stuff man
I like the concept to play one character tho
wait. you're aware that you can be every job on 1 character yes?
if you cant decide on a job then just put all the options into wheeldecide.com or something
I was advised in this Discord that if I wanted to do Coil of Bahamut, I should do it unsynced and ask for help in /s in a crowded area (free trial).
Iโve done some advertising on several occasions over the past few days but havent been able to find someone to help me yet - am I doing it wrong? Should I instead approach people personally?
Absolutely not. If no-ones willing to do it with you then I'd advise coming back to it once you've hit 80
maybe join and FC, make a few friends and take them
I mean I was getting to that
You shouldnt bother trying to do that stuff at all unless you see a PF up for it
Well, i mean, "maybe join and FC" - he cant do that by definition.
right but he'd then try to figure out how to join an FC and that would require purchase. solving both
I didnt think of keeping an eye out on PF
I cant recruit on free trial but can I request to join one though
?
You can join PF's, you just cant create PF's
What can i get in savage eden (other than gear) ? I heard theres a 4seat mount in e4s, anything else?
Right, thanks!
another mount in e8s, plus upgrade mats for tome gear
how do yo find elite marks?
Generally people do Savage modes for the challenge
A ranks respawn on a long timer, S ranks have secret spawn conditions that are different for each zone so groups of devoted hunters usually spawn them when they're available, and B ranks just hang around the zone, they respawn seconds after being killed in another part of the map @cedar compass
Is product advertisement allowed in game?
Elaborate
no one doing fulmination
Second time I see some serious ads from players
for anything else? no
RMT is RMT, and RMT is against terms of service
For Nvidia cards and cola
lolwut
Ok thats a new one
I've never seen that
I've not seen that
You sure you're not just getting trolled?
I was running some fates, a guy advertising Nvidia on shout
people who check #glamour-discussion will, just wait more than 5 minutes lol
The cola one was probably just a troll I met in dungeon duty
@green grail do i need to check all spawning locations?
would astrologian be okay for a first timer healer?
where do i turn in Rarefied Chirashi-zushi? i cant seem to find it in the collectible appraiser in gridania
collectable appraiser in gridania is outside of the markets
nvm, it probably had to update, changed zones and it popped up
so im trying to research relic weapons as they look insanely cool and so far from the really old youtube videos and forum posts i've read basically relic weapons are cut into several quest chains per expansion pack?
well its 1 chain per expansion
they're mostly for glamour as their stats are often out-numbered through out the heavensward weapons
am i correct?
All of the previous relic weapons are just for glamour at this point
glamour
ShB relic is a decent starting weapon, plus its only got one stage right now and its a very easy to get
be warned, some of the relic weapons take a long time to get your hands on
It's recommended to be at level 80 to start getting them
unfortunately im a free player, so i think ill focus on ARR/HW relics for now for aesthetic reason
i wouldn't recommend bothering with ARR relic as a trial user, tbh
is there an equivalent of relic weapons to armors? like glowing armors that look just as cool as relics weapons
unless you are gonna level crafters
not really
There's a crafted set in ARR that has a glowing version and a set in stormblood called the elemental set
i understand but i think i just might get a few relic for classes i like, as i really love the aesthetic that relic weapons have even for ARR
but in general, glowing armour isn't really a thing
sorry just for clarity for my notes, by set you mean armors right?
yes
may i know the name of these glowing set? plus is there glowing set per class?
Augmented Cashmere of Healing/Casting, Augmented heavy/wolfram, Augmented saurian
okay so i just researched even further and it seems like the relic weapons from shadow bringers are just further upgraded versions of those of from ARR?
hmm i need to research more to find out what the relic weapons in ARR look like
having a completed zeta (arr relic) lets you skip the first step on the anima (heavensward) but its not worth doing just for that
i can't seem to find any pictures, even from those relic posts from 7 years ago
searching for "zodiac" weaponry may help
thank you for helping though, i think i get a gist of it, ill look into the glowy sets you said
oh okay thanks silverhand ill look into it
I figured out, that many pre-stages of the A Realm Reborn Relic Weapons, already got a tremendous design, so here are all ARR stages of our precious Relic Weapons.
NOTE, that these are Realm Reborn weapons and jobs, that have been introduced in the Heavensward expansion or la...
thats for level 50 until 80 right?
im confused what is ilvl is that different from your level
ilvl is basically like the "power" of the gear in regards to the gear of that lvl range
ohh so for heavensward there is another relic weapon which is named differently but with the same concept as it gets upgraded and gets visually better
So both ilvl 80 and ilvl 135 are level 50 weapons
the ilvl 80 weapon is weaker than ilvl 135
ohhh thank you that actually makes sense
yep
what is for the next two expansion?
last question, sorry if its too much, does maxing the zodiac weapon give any advances to the next relic weapon, the anima?
It only lets you skip the first step for anima
which is not worth making a zeta (final stage of zodiac) for
oh that is actually really neat, although i understand that in terms of frustration which can come from completeing the stages, i just cant pass out the aesthetic that the final zodiac weapons have, like my goodness they look so cool
How do I get Deathbringer for Dark Knight? I looked it up but doesnโt say much
also black mage zeta weapon looks like it can eat my soul
Deathbringer is bought with centurio seals in ishgard
can also get a version of it from the first few steps of Anima, the lvl 60 relic weapon
thanks for the help kaelwyrn, im going to start doing some zodiac quests now, cheers!
How do I hunt? I clicked on Hunt board but it doesnโt let me hunt. The Ishgard Centurio member dude doesnโt let me interact with him
you need to be 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company, and unlock the ARR hunts first before you can unlock centurio seals
quest at your grand company is called "Let the Hunt Begin!"

once you've done that, there should be a quest in ishgard called "Let the Clan Hunt Begin!"
there's a couple more quests to unlock the higher hunt bills, most of them are gonna be in ishgard from the same person with one of them in idyllshire
Thank you
How does PLD anima work? Do you get the sw+sh as a package at every step?
yep
I'm just finishing off ARR before starting Heavenward and I'm getting quests that give me poetic tombstones as rewards. What should I do with them? Save them until I hit 80 or spend them on whatever?
They'll for the most part be spent on gear st levels 50, 60 and 70
In Mor Dhona there are a couple NPCs up the hill you can buy i130 gear from
Right so I should actively use them to gear up? Instead of waiting to get upgraded pieces as quest rewards?
Yes
Thabks
The game will vomit poetics at you
And they are the best pieces that you can reasonably aquire at old expansion level caps
how much skillspeed should i have as paladin?
Enough to have a GCD of ~2.40
Hover over a skill, yes
2.48 now uf
Check the recast time
Note that your physical attacks and Holy Spirit have different recast times
!xivmath reversespeed 2.40
Yeah, if you're not 80, just grab the highest gear pieces and suffer
kk
someone have maybe a good roaster for squadron?
like 2 FCs joining together? not really
if you mean between grand companies then they dont affect anything, you can be in any grand company and join any free company
well then my buds made me join the maelstrom cuz they said they believe i wouldnt be able to join
nope, doesnt matter at all
where does this mount come from guys
gold saucer
its so cute
is it possible to change or am i perma locked?
oh, so its some quest?
you need to be a pretty high rank to be able to change
no, its bought with mgp
no, its bought with mgp
@twilit arch mgp?
which is the currency you gain from playing mini-games and such at the gold saucer
im first class in teh 4 first trees
tiers*
you need to be 2nd Lt to switch gcs
should i take guildleves?
Can you do elite marks solo?
B ranks, absolutely
A ranks, if they're ARR/HW ones. Sb still want a couple of people for
S ranks, generally no.
are map allowances shared? i.e. if I grabb a map from a node in SB I'm unable to grab one from ShB, until reset?

@untold sand
You can change Grand Companies every 15 days once you are Second Lieutenant in that GC. (1st time is free, after that it costs 50.000 gil to transfer)
What can i do with GIL in free trial?
Free trial player, just came in a couple of weeks ago. How worth it is to do DOH/DOL, I don't mind the grind but farming crystal shard is too much of a pain. Should I just skip it till im ready to jump in to a subscription?
should i be doing guildleves or ignore it as well
What can i do with GIL in free trial?
@K.M.โข#8364 buy stuff from vendors
you can skip guildleves
there honestly isnt much you can do with gil in the free trial
they are nice for really low level jobs to get them to lvl 15 (though the hunting log does most of that better) but after that dungeons just provide more xp
do i need to change gears? i don't like how the gears you get from quets are ugly
you can glamour your gear to make it look like some equipment you like
If I want to do Namazu tribe quests... can I just be like lvl 60 miner and do them? or does it require an actual crafting job?
but that is unlocked through a quest
what level? and does it cost a lot
yes, namazu can be done as either crafter or gatherer
Thank you, Kael.
its a lvl 15 quest, in vesper bay.
what are these
? should i skip them?
glamour prisms are pretty easy to come by, especially if you're atleast sergeant second class in your grand company
no, most of those should not be skipped
they unlocked stuff. the main ones you can ignore are "So you want to be X" (these are class unlocks) Or "Levemete of X" (leves generally aren't that great for combat jobs, and can unlock them later anyway)
in fact the quest to unlock glamours will be one of those
i see
around when can i expect aesthete gear price drop?
thanks!
!faq ninja
is there a list of FAQ stuff?
; ;
no list afaik, but what do you want to know? ๐
!faq
there should be a whole ninja guide pinned over in #archived-melee-lounge
ah ty. found it, though i get an error You need access
Ask for access, or switch to an account with access.
hm, nothing we can do about that
might be that the peeps on the balance discord are reworking the guide or something
im mostly just having an issue of too many buttons on NIN
i prefer to already have all my abilities up to max level in their places
cause..gonna need to eventually anyway (i'm 62 atm)
I never played nin so I'm afraid I won't be of much help
but I'm sure there are a ton of guides floating around out there if you google a bit
apparently it's changed since ShB launch so :\
or they link to that same inaccessible guide XD
might be worth to ask around in the balance discord about that inaccessible guide
an invite link should also be pinned in #archived-melee-lounge
ahh it needs 9?
Ye
