!action Triplecast

@vital ruin 600k aint broke >.>
it is if you want a house right
I thought 500k

i range from 17 to 20 mil and im poor AF
thatlll get you a mid
3-5 for a small
Welcome to Home & Garden TV ... Today we have Tahmeed_Wolf's first purchase ... 🙀
@vital ruin we have to do something with gil afterall
At this point I'll just build my own house
thats not a thing
Can u build a house
ramping up the real estate economy, what a nice pastime 😄
gil isnt as valuable as u think it is
can I buy a tiny house for like 1

@vital ruin to be more specfic, you buy a plot
you can get rooms
You get a teen tiny apartment for 500k >.>
in an FC house
I can craft armors that literally kills gods and can't build a house :(
or go into an fc housing for a room
How teen tiny we talking
studio
ply the market then
Like a walk in freezer size

you can visit one before buying to check the size
should I take up crafting like does end game crafting beat end game raid gear
Actually, i think the Apartment is about the size of the Inn Room isnt it?
should I take up crafting like does end game crafting beat end game raid gear
@wind copper it doesn't but it makes you a lot of money
Then why'd I even buy an apartment I've the inn room
its only bis when theres a day 1 new raid tier. @wind copper
but selling on day 1
will net you the cash money
you can't decorate an inn room
thats why people prepare and gather mats before hand
so when patch day is here, they can make it right away
bis?
best in slot
best in slot
you can't decorate an inn room
@marble drift
Did not know that
so technically there’s a window where it is
excellent
yeah people buy crafted gear early because it has the best stats for pushing progresion on a new tier
I mean gear will always become obsolete later but crafting is forever
yes
Whoa fr
i was joking about the windows thing, it was a simpson reference
o
you can basically share ownership of a house to someone else

so essentially, suck up to one of your rich friends.
Aha time to find someone who's gonna pay 95% of the price :)
get them to share ownership
does the marriage thing give special xp stuff
no. you can teleport to your spouse however
U can marri?
yes
for a price
I c
no theres a free plan
mmo remember
iirc
if you’re not a gamer
no no I needs it to be grand
20 it is
is the 8 person mount in the shop the only party bus mount?
its 4 person and no, there are plenty pof 4 seaters
but weve only gotten 1 for free
the rest are in the mog shop
I misread
2 free
wait really?
2 free technically
1 unavailable right now
why isn’t there a 8 man mount
we're mmo players. we don't have 8 friends
That's all
@wind copper why would you need a 8 man mount >->
pepehands
for raids
.... thats... not how it works....
yes it is
raids are all instanced buddy, you can do everything through party finder
you stand in town and magically appear in the 8 man raid :p
no you just all go to the entrance to the raid using the mount
just make a airship a mount
Ya know ... thinking about it ... how in the heck do you even get 8 ppl for Chimera if it only opens if u do the relic quest? Lol
its on trials roulette
Ah
is there any drawback in outleveling the msq? i'm level 54 and just started doing post-2.0 content
nah
You just can’t use cool abilities
yeah you won't be able to progress your class quests (which lock abilities) before a certain point in the MSQ
What's the most useful/one of the most useful retainer jobs atm?
@outer plank free one ? What was the free one
I'm lv 60 and haven't even finished post ARR
@slim jackal the ff15 colab mount
I can use gunbreaker and dancer so that's nice
theres another one
So lvl 50 drk quest ||what exactly was fray? Was he just a ghost, or a reanimated corpse?||
but im not aware of it
@potent lava hes you're ego manifested
something similarly well happen later in the job quests @potent lava
@slim jackal the ff15 colab mount
@outer plank we can still get it ?!?
Not available currently
@slim jackal no.
Will I see that in 50-60
it should reappear in the mogstation eventually too
@potent lava do you really want me to answer that?
SE has plans to bring back the event “soon” but with all the events that somewhat crowd each other in the latter half of the year, along with Yokai lasting until 5.4, SE is waiting for a clear time to it.
My personal guess for FFXV collab event coming back is mid-late January to early February
@potent lava but yes, fray was a corpse
That’s good though. It sounds like there is a lot of content planned at the very least ? I was worried I might be playing a game on the down trend.
just reinanimated
youll learn more about him or rather his friend in the 50-60 quest
Ok I can take dark thoughts infused corpse for now
yeah just wait for the next job quests, I'm gonna say that he actually did exist before your mind made him into whatever
Ok yeah that was the bit I was worried about
Since there were ponts where he said something and people reacted as if I said it
which of the birds can be farmed solo unsync at lvl 80? still need warring, round, rose, and white lanner
you'll understand that in time Jiku
All of them can be done as Paladin
Though Sephirot requires good RNG due to his mechanics
what if I only have NIN and DRK at lvl80?
@potent lava its implied that people cant actually see him, and after all, it is "you" thats saying it
not good to bottle up your emotions
Ravana can be done as pretty much any class
I would strongly recommend reading the quest journals for dark knight
If white is Bismarck a class with good burst can solo it, not sure if DRK/NIN can though
Atleast I could find someone for the other 24 dungeon
No one's joining the world of darkness
Literally no one 
wait
gotta wait for the rouletters
Again wolf, it’s the dead of night for NA. :p
How do I change my data server
also people tend to mess up WoD even now. 
its dead time, its literally 3 to 5 in na @vital ruin
@potent lava If you've already done the DRK 50 quest, you've got as much of an answer as you're going to get: ||The corpse that you found did not get reanimated. You imagined that Fray was walking around training you. When "Fray" said things to other NPCs, that was your character saying it||
Pay for a home world transfer

hi, everyone i need help with ffxiv setup. i used to play years ago on ps4 and pc, this week i've created a new account on my pc and i'm enjoying the free trial. Today i've tried to login to my new account on ps4 but i see the old account bound and i cannot change it ! I've tried to delete the game and delete the stored data and now i'm downloading game again... will i be able to play on ps4 or do i need a new ps4 account too ?
On the mogstation
Does anyone know under which category the tank achievements are? I wanna check how close I am to the drk mount but I can't find it D:
Will it work for me
I thought some people needs to wait 90 days
What's a preferred world
thanks!
Worlds that give an experience bonus for all classes to level 70
@vital ruin why would you want to change your data center just for a 24 man?
You’ll have a red/yellow buff on your status bar.
I can't join any raids
It takes very long time@outer plank
!buff road to 70
if you're in a suggested one, its because that the best based on your location @vital ruin
!buff the road to 70
thats because its 3-5 am in na, just go to bed or do something else to its prime time in the morning or after noon @vital ruin
what does give you paralyze status on stormcloud on e5s?
not having an orb and getting hit
It's 3 pm for me tho 
@tidal yarrow getting hit by cloud wwhile not having the shocked debuff
or
being hit by someone with shock
im pretty sure the orb isn't the reason
yeye i see
Where should I see that symbol in the hud
Next to my hp bars or@obsidian patio
thx
I don't think I have the buff

I've tried to delete the game and delete the stored data and now i'm downloading game again... will i be able to play on ps4 or do i need a new ps4 account too ?
@vital spoke any help ? 😦
You need to make a new FFXIV account for your new PS4 account.
essentilly have an orb, if you have shock debuff walk into the cloud, walk back to boss, use kb resist or orient yourself west or east @tidal yarrow
I started with trial and made a new account/character then which I'm using till now
i cleared e5s many times xD i just wanted to know the paralyze part
there is some process that you can do to unlink your old account from your PS4, but it's kind of convoluted
but thanks!
if you contact Support they may be able to tell you what you need to do
I think the hated of levin debuff’s pulsing AoE also does paralyze
You need to make a new FFXIV account for your new PS4 account.
@obsidian patio you mean i have to create a new ps4 account and use it with new ffxiv account ?
I don't have any old SE account
I just have one that I made after getting the trial
@vital spoke yes you need a new psn because those who have the old trial arent eligible
its only for new accounts
or pc
I don't think he's talking about the old trial
can i unbound my ps4 account from ffxiv account ?
no
Nope
not that im aware of
It's locked
actually
you can, but it's not a straightforward process
ok, ty i'll create a new ps4 account
I've seen a lot of videos stating SE accounts are locked to a psn account and can't be changed but idk
do i need to remove my ps4 account or can i keep it in the system ?
Keep it
Your new account will start anew tho
You won't have saves it's just a huge restart
And idk if you can transfer cloud saves between accounts
i'm redownloading the game... wasn't enough delete system data ? just wondering..
Are there any barriers to being in an FC on the same data center but different server? i heard someone say it's fine but looking at the one i'm wanting to join every single one of them is on the same server too
FCs are server specific
you cant join FCs on different servers
saw a post from 3 years ago saying they're adding that soon so i assumed, my bad
do the stormblood and heavensward custom deliveries share the same limits?
@thorn mantle 6 max each. 12 total.
you can do 6 of two different people or 3 each of 4 different people
If i play lalafell characters, do they still kneel while talking with tataru
alright thanks
@brittle lodge no
Nice immersion
do we have a recape of ffxiv story in a great video i want to learn the story so far but i cant play nowdays
i feel like looking down at a lalafell would be seen as rude
also does the other expansions related with the others or they have their uniequ story
there are abunch of videos linked in #archived-lore-spoilers pins
every expansion chorologically follows the previous
they are literal sequels
for example ARR patch 2.4/2.5 is the build up for the 3.0 heavensward expansion
i couldn't find a video
yes they do, kind of. so patches x.0-x.3 are the expansion and x.4-x.5 patches is the build up to the new expansion
just a novels or summary
ah i only found one video
it's ok you can spoiler me
i haven't said anything but Thanks

@wispy basalt gamerescape's loretrain might be what you are looking for though they aren't videos
rip
whats the best way to spend company seals?
promotions if you aren't 2nd LT, after that venture tokens, glamour prisms (to keep or sell), crafting materials (to use or sell)
does the huton buff on the ninja affect mudras?
i cant go from 1st LT to captain?
no
Kael, what you think of the lv 50 crafter set from GC? is it worth it for pretty much free?
huton does not affect mudras
you need to do Squadrons in order to rank up to 1st LT and Captain
they're fixed like wildfire heatblast of mch
No harm in grabbing the artisan set from gc seals
Lv 40 Critical Mission for 1st Lt and i think 50 or 60 for Captain
I regret not ranking up asap when I did the story
Raubahn calling me private always felt like he was dissing me

How do you check if the next month will be automatically paid for
??
if you can see "Remaining days" or anything similar anywhere then you don't have auto renewal aka you cancelled your sub
mogstation frontpage for example, also no "Cancel subscription" button
Is it worth to grab the Lv. 50 Lucis Crafting Stuff in Mor Dhona or should I just ignore them and work towards the next-better gear?
just push to 51 and grab that set
kk
Dancer Question: Is standard step always just basic +dmg?
yes
it increases damage and hurts enemies
and a mild nuke of an aoe
use it on cooldown
don't be like most people and only use it when the buff falls off
i have launched ffxiv on ps4 with my new created ffxiv account... but it still says i'm not eligible for free trial because i've purchased it !
i made more custom delivery items than i could turn in, it changed from gyr abanian to far eastern souvenirs, do they rotate or should i just discard the souvenirs?
they rotate but it's probably not worth hanging onto extras
unless you have just tons of inventory space with nothing to put in it
ok thanks
Hey guys, im trying to download the free trial of the game and after loging in with my new square enix account and selecting the platform, I keep on getting this error regardless of what browser I try it on. Any idea how to fix it?
i have launched ffxiv on ps4 with my new created ffxiv account... but it still says i'm not eligible for free trial because i've purchased it !
@vital spoke ok, i've understood the problem... free trial can be used on a SINGLE platform... PC or PS4

Fun times in PoTD as a newbie dancer when your aoe pulls the entire room cause you werent expecting such a huge aoe lol
Are there any options to decrease or increase the frequency of battle grunts and to make them louder or quieter?
I complete squadron lv40 mission and get promoted. Any higher rank after?
the 3 quests to unlock last parts of the ARR prologue? doooo i need to do the dungeons?
or trials?
if msq says you have to do a duty then you have to do the duty 
@plain python if you're Put GC Title Here Captain, then no, currently nothing higher available.
Lv 40 mission is only 1st Lt, 50 or 60 for Captain
i think
oh wait, captain is 5 unique command missions now that i think of it
are the tools bought with scrips with sundry splendors worth it? or should i save em for materia?
The sets can be used for pretty much the next expansion’s leveling progression
Handking at 70 for 70-80, the class-specific stuff at 60 for 60-70
The level 50 stuff is decent, but quickly gets replaced with the level 51 set
is there a reason why I cannot slot mateira in an item with slots?
Which data center do I transfer to
My time zone is GMT +6
The materia might be too high level for the item
Materia has a minimum item level the equipment must meet to meld into it
Grade 7 and 8 materia require a minimum of i420, for example.
@vital ruin JP servers are your best bet. Elemental is where most English speaking players go to.
EU servers are a bit further away but not as drastic as NA
I c
And how do I change
I'll buy the world trasbfer from mig station but how do I use it
It’s done on the mogstation and guides you through it
o oke
materia can be found on marketplace, right?
Yeah
cool then, trying to make a relic staff for fun but have no materia
The materia will list the minimum item level needed on the tooltip
So I join any world in elemental
I was thinking carbuncle or garuda
If it’s the first step of the Zodiac relic Then you need the exact materia specified in the quest journal
yeah I need two quicktongue III
@vital ruin most of the English speakers go to Tonberry or Kujata but as long as you’re on elemental you’ll be ok
If I'll go to kujata cos I don't wanna risk anything
And not tonberry cos it's tonberry
How come when i talk to Goberin I can't buy the emporer's set
What are some ways you could make Gil in terms of dailies / weeklies I could do ? Or is crafting da wae
is there any point in having dream within a dream, and assassinate on separate buttons? on the ninja, since they always go together anyway can you just macro them to be both activated right after each other?
@halcyon kite do the nearby quest “absolutely glamourous”
Don’t macro abilities together where they go off in a row.
If you have to macro them just have it to whatever one is able to go off does.
Basically like
/ac “Dream Within a Dream”
/ac “Assassinate”
@halcyon kite Got lv 15 crafter and the quest done?
Ninja can’t do double-weaves due to their fast GCD caused by Huton
Is there a reason to do the Crystarium Crafting missions if all your crafters/gatherers are lvl80?
Basically Free yellow scrips
But if you’re lvl 80, do you need yellow scripts?
Materia
Also to buy stuff to sell for Gil
Like the Slithersand used in the new crafting/gathering set
can u sell stuff on servers that aint ur home server? mainly marketboard? cuz i thought u needed retainers for that (considerin they have a restriction
No
well thats sad
you can however visit another world and buy from their market board
sometimes you might get better prices
and im on lousoix which is smoll Xd
@gloomy mortar no scrip accessories or belt for level 80 yet. Assuming SE follows trends they’ll be in 5.4
does the troupe glitch to make a second floor still work?
Wait I can't transfer world if I'm in a free company or I have stuffs for sale
Yep

just gotta take care of outstanding business since both of those features are bound to your home wolrd
So I stop selling and leave the company
yes
i wonder if i should go to a more populated server or is market cross server in a datacentre?
it's not, it's per world
i regret bein on lousoix even when its prefered server
What is the benefit of having multiple characters? You can have all jobs on one character so im wondering.. asking cuz of the standart sub^^
and I'm not sure lousoix is actually that small
having multiple looks (race, gender etc.) is really the only reason why one would want multiple characters
more important for rp reasons
How do I get to the uper part of Sea of clouds? I go where I think it connects but can't get to the rest of the map.
i mean according to a tracker site ive found (dunno if its updated or not) lousoix is like 74.7k characters created/active while stuff like moogle (112.9k) and cerberus (111.6k) is more
and idk if thos are tru
but its not the smollest no
if its ffxiv census, its not really worth looking at
especially for active numbers since it cuts out a huge amount of players
yes but the same census site has Twintania as an even smaller world and I'm on that one
and I don't have any of the problems you describe 😄
either way, if you're looking to buy you can always use world visit
idk i dont have problems with it
and idk if it was correct or not was actually that site @twilit arch lol
How do I get to the uper part of Sea of clouds? I go where I think it connects but can't get to the rest of the map.
@solid estuary Two possibilities: You either need to be able to fly or you're not far enough in the msq
if you're looking at stuff to sell, then its a matter of looking at your server's marketboard and finding your own niche
you will visit the same map later from a different access point
Oh thank you!
Need to advance for MCH then
Now what do I do
how to know when using powerful vs precision hook in fishing?
where is the tomestone vendor?
if its ! then generally you want to use precision, if its !! or !!! then generally you want to use powerful
where is the tomestone vendor?
@untold sand which tomestones?
for which level?
base
so poetics?
y
Mor Dhona
lvl 50 gear is mor dhona, lvl 60 is idyllshire
Though those will only appear once you've completed the appropriate main scenario quest
oh I didn't know that
there's lvl 50 poetic vendors in the major cities as well
@obsidian patio i did do that one. It's with the girl on the bench right?
i did that too
P#lol
i havent done the one that give you the crafting though
You need to do that one to unlock the vendor
Getting a crafter to 15 is super fast
where is crafter's guild
I think there's another vendor in vesper bay
Just unlock any but Culinarian and make each item in the crafting log until you hit 15
the crafter guilds are all over the 3 major cities
They’re spread through the city states
hm

I Might be thinking of the melding quest?
I just know that CUL never made any of the older prisms
whats the crafter that makes armor
right, it was the melding
its in limsa
Armorer/Leatherworker/Weaver mainly
why do my earrings drop like 50% faster than the rest of my stuff 
all of the crafters can be lvl to 15 easily from crafting items in the crafting log, and all of those materials can be bought from the guild fvendors
@dire saffron normally shouldn’t happen, try having an NPC repair them to 100% and then repair it yourself to 199%
So they all even out
Wait, overrepairs?
You mean items can have more than 100% durability? 
How does that make sense
Yep, you can repair your own gear past 100%

Or more accurately, self-repairing adds +100% instead of putting the item at 100%
You need the appropriate crafter at most 10 levels below the equipment
So a level 80 chest piece that wants weaver would need a level 70 weaver or higher
Is it hard to find a crafter ?
You can’t ask other players to repair for you
Only NPCs and yourself can repair your gear
So you would need to level up the crafting classes
is there a crafter leveling guide here?
Oh ok
Best materia set up for monk?
The soft cap for critical hit rate is 16,055 so be careful when melding.
The recommended speed's at the 914 and 1015 tiers, for reference. For more information on stat tiers, look further down.
Hi, does anyone want to give me a recruitment code?
How do I meld another players weapon the relic
they have to right click you and request meld
Cheers
Hmm... the NIN guide now requires us to request access?
it's being rewritten by the balance mentors so yeah, there isn't one up atm unfortunately
I see. Do you have a link for another?
But just a basic guide would suffice
Like, im supposed to start with a suiton then do the "hide only"skil, dots, assassinate, before everything else?
Question, If I buy ffxiv for PC1... Can I later install it on other PC's or just on the one that I bought
?
Thanks!
You will be able to install it on other PCs
though you can't be logged into the same account on multiple PCs at once
Oh so for example if I buy ffxiv on my PC and let's say my PC breaks... that means whenever I get a new one I can just simply install the game and don't have to buy it again?
yes, absolutely
oh ok then
Even if you didn't have the disc anymore, you could easily download it again
is the GC Aetheryte Ticket that useful for its price?
I've never bought them, they seem a bit pointless
what u i spend on my gil since it's now kept max at 300k
i find it nice as maelstrom, but its pretty much the last thing i buy with GC seals
Oh I was thinking of digital, cause I already have PS4 complete edition and I played the heck out of it my PS4 and it broke, now I got The last of us 2 PS edition and I dont wanna risk playing ffxiv on console anymore so I wanted to move to PC for mmorpgs
This might qualify as a legitimate question?
Is trading currency from another MMO for FFXIV gil bannable? There is no RMT but... I wasn't sure what Square's stance on it was :x
not to my knowledge, all they care about is rmt because it has a negative tangible effect on the game
what are these settings and where can they be configured?
What is the command for alt leveling?
!faq altlvlguide @karmic niche
@floral kayak yes it’s against the TOS
Ty
@misty blaze which part of your question do you have problem with...?
The answer is in the picture...
@obsidian patio Thank you. If you don't have a direct link to that in the ToS that's alright - I've been searching and I'm sure I'll come across it so I trust ya. Thank you!
@warped nest what are "hp bar settings"?
Is there fun mni games with jumping? Like jumping puzzle in gw2? I saw streamer doing some mini game to complete course in time limit
When you target and hit something
@misty blaze the conditions for the HP bar to be visible for that type of thing
The Gold Saucer (mini game casino) has events every 20min, and some of them are jumping puzzles
oh
Other than that, there are some rare ones in the overworld
Like in Stormblood's main city, Kugane, you can climb a really tall tower
ah I get it now
yeah but I saw there is no rewards ><
There's a sightseeing log spot at the top, and getting all of those in Stormblood get you the title Crimson Explorer
but that's it lol
oh k, ty
I will check gold saucer mini games
Is should be new raid in 5.4 and new alliance raid in 5.5?
Yes
And still no news about next xpac?
There were rumors that it might get cancelled? 😮
Isn't silence at this point the usual mo anyway?
Like, new xpac is getting teased maybe at x.4
Nah there's no way it's getting canceled lol
They always tease the next xpac at the X.4 patch
Its been pretty consistant thus far
SE payment methods are absolute shit
Why can't they accept gift cards
Like I'm trying to give you fucking money why are you making it so hard to give you money
k thanks for answers
the whole virus thing might have delayed things but yeah, I don't see them cancelling things
SE payment methods are absolute shit
Why can't they accept gift cards
Like I'm trying to give you fucking money why are you making it so hard to give you money
@vital ruin Look, I know I'm prone to discuss things in the questions channel but this is clearly a #rants
Do they accept debit cards
Yes
Im checking here coz im not sure if im just spouting bull
but provoke sortof attracts enemies across the room right
Eg in cutters cry
theres 2 mobs on each side of the room, a pretty big room
Uhh... what do?
I used provoke on one and everyone came towards me
eh, it's complicated
even people maybe like 30 40 yalms away from the unit i provoked
short answer: no, provoke has no aoe component
check to see if you have fabled belt of casting in your inventory @signal rover
^
@twilit arch I do, I'm wearing it 
then toss it
long answer: mob packs are connected so if you use provoke as the first aggro thing you throw at them then it will also pull all the other mobs connected to the one you provoked
That coffer includes one and since it's unique, you can't have 2 on you at a time
however you still need to generate an actually meaningful amount of enmity on all the other mobs
ah ok so basically
Its like how walking near mobs attracts them to you, even if you dont hit them
kind of
but if someone hits them itll go towards them
the game even has these lines connecting mobs that flash sometimes so you know to which mob pack they belong
but in general I wouldn't recommend using provoke for the initial pull anyway, at least not for mob packs
better to run in there and use your aoe
kk ty, i was just wondering because it was something weird i hadnt noticed since i rarely used provoke in normal dungeons unless it was a mob going for the healer
Even if a mob goes for a healer
The norm is, the healer should bring the mob to your AOE
Or you use your ranged skill to gain aggro in the mob

I'm a new player and feel like I am lost in a world and I don't know where to go and what to do. Could anyone help me and guide me? ^^
if you unsync the HW EX trials with loot master, do the bird whistles get disabled?
No they still drop
33 clears and no birb :c
Rng do be like that
Anyone know why this happens when I login for the free trial? Never played a FF game before and its a fresh account
It's usually like 5%, higher for ARR trials
2501 is the generic "something happened but we dunno what" error unfortunately
Try disabling your VPN if you have one
Clear internet explorer's cache
(FFXIV launcher runs on Internet Explorer... go figure)
Could be a lot of things, I'd try on another PC if you can
i asume u can only get ixal materia daily?
ixali quests are daily so yes(?) if you mean for the tribal currency
do i need to rankup to get the token for the materia?
yeah google says you need to be rank 5 with them
what do you need old low rank materia for
the craft leveling guide
i mean you can probably just.. do some more leves, level up and skip having to meld old gear
and get the next tier of gear
Can someone help me understand the glamour system? I’m only familiar with the system from guild wars 2 and this one brings a lot of questions
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
basically you can take the appearance of any piece of gear in the game (equippable by your current class) and apply its appearance over your current gear
and you can mix and match with pieces to make different outfits
@median locust using a hotspot to complete registration seemed to work, downloading now 😄
If I discard an old piece of gear, can I still use it for glamour or it’s gone?
It's gone, if you want to use something for glamour, you have to own it
Hello, What's Free Company and Fellowships?
Are the FC the guildlike?
You can apply the glamour and then throw away the item and it'll stay, but then you won't be able to reapply it later, unless you find the item again
FC are guilds
Fellowship are like.... big communities with noticeboards and no chatroom
hmmm i see thank you
A lot of them are just a link to a discord lol
oohh
must u be at a main aetheryte to visit other servers?
Yes, has to be a main aetheryte in the 3 starting cities
ahmm hello again, im a bit confused
Since the free trial has the heavensward expansion now
Can I just buy the Shadowbringer standard edition that has stormblood in it?
No
Because you dont own anything
You need to still buy the starter edition ontop of Shadowbringers
I see
Or complete edition
Okay thank you~
Hey guys, I'm returning to the game after four years and pretty much don't remember anything (including a lot of beginner basics). Should I still play on the same character and look up new guides or is it more worth while to level a fresh character?
youll get the hang of it soon enough, use your old char
Ahmm I'm currently playing on Ps4 right now with the free trial
Can I switch to PC while on free trial?
And if I buy the PC version can I link the account that is on my ps4?
among tank class, what is the most newbie-friendly?
paladin or warrior
Warrior and Paladin are pretty simple
Warrior is more offense oriented and has tools to heal themselves, and Paladin is more defense oriented
*Id recommend starting as Paladin though since its much less active and just takes less damage in general
im legit afraid to make alts on other data centres or servers considerin the shore that is ARR
even when u speed through
MSQ skip-bottle
isnt that very expensive?
After getting max level in the free trial, when I pay for a sub I can just continue with that character correct? And if i understand correctly, I can also change my class whenever I want so if i start as a warrior and want to be a ninja after buying the expansion and gettinng a sub thats possible without making a new character?
Yes, you can level up every single class on one character
Final Fantasy's trade mark is job swaping

And you keep your character after you buy the game
So yea you can swap when ever
Hmm.. as NIN, in mob packs, do you still do your Suiton etc?
Like, target the biggest guy, do your Suiton, Assassinate etc etc
before dropping doton
with the removal of the savage weekly lockout, do people still need to clear the previous bosses to attempt the next ones?
or do you just go in with Doton and AoE
btw my bud stated squeenix had planned cross play between data centres. aka eu with eu. any note we got since a year of it bein mentioned?
No @robust crow
No ren
can a fresh player go straight into e7s for example
yes
so someone who has never done savage before can start shiva
Kinda recommended to start with the easier fights first
Yes
yes
hmm nice
But if you wanted to, you could start at E7S
nah I've cleared everything except Shiva, just wondering for friends
ok sweet. does the server or race matter for playing with friends?
nope, just the right datacenter
As long as you're on the same Data Center, you can play together
still progging shiva 
Race doesn't matter
would it be racist if race would matter?
If I'm leveling DoH/DoL through Ishgardian Restoration, should I gear by job quests for each piece since they can be worn by the other DoH/DoL jobs?
Racial stats are like 1-5 point difference. But you have literal thousands of points at level cap so it doesn't matter in the end
None of the things other than your starting job matter in the character creator
Its even less than that
Its been calculated the race stats make a literal 0.0005 difference

is there a reason why in the guildquest where you have to kill 5 demons at the same time, one sometimes is immune to damage?
Is the DPS queue time for instanced content manageable? Coming from ESO, it was more worth it for me to learn to tank there haha
Average 15mins give or take
DPS queues are like 10-20min for your usual dungeon
DPS queues are 15-20 minutes usually
Yikes so similar to ESO. What about the other roles?
Tank, usually less than 5 min
healers and tankers are sought-after
Healers are in need the most so if you want to get through content the fastest play a healer
you an also queue as a DPS, and do other stuffs while waiting
With how long the story quests take you can level a healer and a dps about evenly and just queue up as healer for the mandatory dungeons
summoner/scholar combo is nice cuz they share same level, so you can do healer if you want quick queue, while using DPS class to kill things outside quick
this is the easiest method ^
honestly you'd be hard pressed to find an MMO that uses the trinity system that doesnt have long DPS queues
Hello wanted to know something about macros
Are there limitations to using it say for instance
a tip: instead of typing the skill name, just drag it into the composer
As a tanking class or DPS
I find having alot of hotkeys troublesome with a broken hand especially with a brace on but I try to manage but wanna make it less stressful doing so
So I figured is it possible to use a macro for some of the excess skills on my bar
@plain python for that 5 demon guildleve you're supposed to kill the other 4 at the same time, then burst down the 5th,
else the other ones respawn
Macroing skills together murders your dps but alot to the point you shouldnt even be playing
!faq macrogcd
Depending on which hand is broken you could probably opt for a mouse with many keys on it
so you only have to use one hand
See video why skill macros are bad
what's the end reward for completing the rise and fall of gentlemen questline
If you want Id recommend getting an MMO mouse if you need to play one handed
In short: macros dont skill que, thus come out much slower than normal and lose you hundreds of Gcds thus Hundreds of potency
They can be pretty cheap
Right hand
Boxer Fracture on the 4th and 5th

I can try buying such a mouse but might take sometime but I need an Alternative
you can look into the razor tartarus, logitech g13, razer orbweaver or the aula excalibur. They're basically mini keyboards for the left hand
Thanks for help! But Im still interested in using macros atleast alittle

Not alot but sometimes to slow my pace
How long does it typically take to max out a custom deliveries NPC rep?
like a month or so
Like 3 I think? The newest one I did every week and finished on the 4th week.
3 weeks + 1 day
You basically rank up each week
fair enough
I kinda thought about Macroing dragon sight but I dunno if or how I should do it
Mostly cause it tends to cause me to clip when i'm trying to target someone and apply it. I'm probably just being slow but, usually trying to find the person I need to tether who also isn't out of range
i mean if I can spot the person ahead of time and they're out of range, fuck 'em the tank's getting it
not my problem

this'll allow you to mouseover the person on the party list and press the keybind
however be advised it will cause it to not activate if you use it untargeted
Got ya
Thanks
But yea dragon sight when ur composition is mostly caster or ranged...good luck
People always try to be as far from the boss as possible
I mean, putting it on the tank is not that bad
true
sure, not ideal, but better than nothing
Is chocobo important? I almost finish with ShB yet I havent done My Feisty Little Chocobo
no

Base FF14 is a walking simulator... it is better with a mount, believe me.
Feisty is for the companion part of it
Still very useful though, have your own healer and a little extra dps when fighting in the overworld
Am I the only one having trouble with queue times on Chaos DC?
Typical quest: Walking half a continent to bring a banana, walking back and get the follow up quest to say "Thx" and walking half a continent again... you want your chocobo asap 😄
anyone do these fashion report things? I found a guide for this week's challenge on reddit, but there are no pants listed. not sure if that's because it doesn't matter or because they just haven't found the right piece yet?
Fashion report requires a piece of gear in every slot
If there's nothing listed then you can use anything
If the guide doesn't list anything in the "easy Xpts" sections, it's because you can use whatever there
right but I mean it might not matter which piece it is in particular
so for the other slots, there's one item listed off to the right and the others under the gold (8+ pts) section. is there a reason that one is listed off to the side, or is that just weird formatting?
Not sure what you mean. Which one are you looking at?
13 votes and 23 comments so far on Reddit
like dhalmelsin vest is on the right while the other 7 chest items are under the gold (8+ pts) thing
Oh I have no idea. I use the one from the !fr command in #kupo-bot-spam
no dyes? just 340 gil for 60k points? nice
what up with the "In the gridania markets" thing? Do the different zones really have different markets?
I thought I could buy from any market on the mb
You can. They're all connected
there used to be less taxes on selling/buying from the same city but now it doesnt mean anything afaik
marketboard is server-wide
always was, just used to leech less money from the transaction if it was "local"

but now there's taxes on everything so 
Oh, okay, it's just a holdover from how it used to work. That makes more sense
Got me worried I was only selling to 1 city because of a quest line or something lol, glad to hear thats not the case
the tax is lower if you sell in a particular place though
can ask the retainer person what the rates are
Is Samurai ranged or melee?
melee
Do I need to have the "Flower Power" Levequest active to get Flowering Sabotender to spawn for 1000 needles?
For a character that is going to transition into Samurai, what is the best class (or closest) class to start off with that could be easily applied to Samurai?
I'd say lancer or rogue
I'd say dragoon or nin
Lancer is the simpliest melee
cant start as nin though, so lancer is your option
@gritty oracle Are you trying to get the BLU spell?
monk has more positionals to think about, but I guess that's a matter of taste
you dont really think about them
I know that you cannot start with Samurai. There is a quest for it at level 50
well yeah, shouldn't have phrased it that way
SAM RDM require level 50
GNB DNC require 60
is SAM more complicated than MNK?
@strange coral Yes.
It is why I asked for the closest
you can unlock it immediately once you have access to limsa
SAM is pretty simple
but you can't create a character as a rogue
Honestly
no, monk just doesn't play like sam
ah, thank you!
None of the melee dps are especially hard to learn
They're north of Little Alamhigo iirc
Haha dident he just want to know what is closest to Samurai that he can make from start?
thats why i said not monk
Which we did answer
I haven't played SAM, but I think MNK is conceptually simple but there are a few things you have to think about at any given time
lancer or rogue is closest
SAM is a lot closer to DRG in playstyle
I mean after he wrote again 🙂
the point is, sam is very straightforward and not that complicated, just don't overthink it
Are the Gold Saucer GATEs synced across a datacenter or could I hop for the chance of another minigame?
It is not even peak time, people are at work and Ultros is STILL not available! WTF is up with that? Vishap Lover still has to wait it looks like
!status ultros
Too bad my eight slots per world is not dedicated
does the gear ur retainers wear effect their ventures in any way?
depends on the kind of retainer
rogues
more ilvl gives them a higher chance of getting rare stuff
ok cool ty
caps at 430
Hello, does exiting potd middleway after getting a weapon upgrade keeps the upgrade? (lets say Im currently on +8 weapon and want to upgrade to +10, and bail out when I got it without finishing the dungeon)
Can normal Sabotenders drop 1k needles? All I see them cast is 100 needles.
need to kill the boss or you lose it
Needs to be Sabotender Bailaors
thanks ;-;
where is the stash in uldah?
@bronze narwhal nope, you need to get to the designated exit
if you quit before all progress is lost
i have a lot of shit in my inventory and i want to get rid of it
There is no stash. Use your retainers inventory or chocobo saddlebag, if you have them unlocked
is there a "follow" command in FF14
i do not know what either of those are
@limber heron yes, right click a character and select "Follow"
is there a "follow" command in FF14
@limber heron yes, right click -> follow
That's good. Can I bind it?
im level 53. would i have unlocked those?
you should be able to macro it
if you mean auto-move to an enemy, don't think that exists
im level 53. would i have unlocked those?
@tight wagon yeah, definitely
i havent played in over a year
Ok, I'll look up a follow macro
should be a
somewhere in the main cities
so i dont know what they are
you do have a mount, right?
yes
then you already have the saddle bag unlocked
ctrl+shift+I is the default hotkey
retainers are whole different system, but it would probably be faster for you to just google it instead of me explaining it
else under Character -> Chocobo Saddlebag
When I play healer, I generally want my attacks to always hit the target of a teammate I'm targeting 9so I can heal). Does "assist-targeting" not work in FF14?
Default button is T
I know I can make macros for this, but wanted to ask before I do
To target the targets target
The macro will hit target and if that fails, hit target's target. Seems easier 😛
Thats bad
using a gcd via a macro will result in a delay
!faq macrogcd
Ok, I read japanese, but not THAT well 😛
You murder your dps
it's the video that's important
I'm kidding of course, I can see it's a video 😄
you can see that the non-macro version is a lot faster
Perhaps... but as new as I am to the game, I'm having a lot of trouble alternating attacks and targets
I might need to go this route for a while until I get used to it all
Tab target
Don't start bad habits now
Because I'm losing a lot lot more time getting stuck
I wouldn't recommend getting used to something that will eventually result in a bad habit
maybe...
better to learn it right from the get go
I understand your problem though, the tab targetting in this game is uhm... interesting
but it's a matter of practice really 🙂
But am I really losing that much time? if I have to move my hand to tab, cast, move back to wasd, aren't I losing as much time as whatever is lost via the macro
Yes
it's not a lot of time on one individual cast
Aand it's not like tab just hits my target's target, it could go anywhere. so I end up having to click the screen or jsut fire on random targets
but it adds up
It's less about that very second and more about what it adds up to, much like dots
