twilit arch
#

so you can teleport there instead of having to take the airship everytime

unreal forge
#

Yeah, that seems to be the mistake I made the first time

brave ravine
#

is there any other way to improve a piece of gear besides socketing materia?

jovial stratus
#

Hey im a ps4 player, if i buy the game on pc does my dlc transfer?

rustic cargo
#

I don't think so

twilit arch
#

you have to buy the game, including the expansions, for pc

sharp spire
#

is paladin really easier to use than warrior

marble drift
#

I mean thats a personal thing

#

some people click with certain classes

calm phoenix
#

Why is the same item appearing twice in my game and why can't I sell a quantity of two on the market? I need to sell them separately! It will not let me adjust the quantity to two

twilit arch
#

because they're two separate items

#

armour and weapons do not stack

calm phoenix
#

No. Same exact name and comparing prices brings up the same thing

twilit arch
#

it doesn't matter

#

armour and weapons do not stack

strange coral
#

If it doesn't stack in your inventory, it won't stack on the market either

twilit arch
#

you have two sell them as two separate items because that's what they are

oak smelt
#

so in the interest of leaching as much content as i can before getting the expansions, im likely going to level either ast or mch from 50 to 60 once my drk reaches 60.
for context my pld reached the 60 cap and instead of buying the expansions just to unlock the lvl cap(still doing the hw msq) i decided to level drk instead.
should i lvl a dps first or a healer first to better understand general gameplay mechanics?
since till now ive only played tanks.

marble drift
#

playing a melee dps might help you understand positional attacks

#

and make you think about where you place a boss *as a tank

faint flare
#

Playing healer gives you a different perspective of tanking and lets you know what tools each healer has at their disposal and how they function

sharp spire
#

when's a good time to try out other classes/roles

cerulean tendon
#

This Diadem i see some references, is for crafters? Only? Im very fresh lvl 80 😄

marble drift
#

gatherers

oak smelt
#

hmm. AST seems kinda lame from a class fantasy pov.
if im better off just learning one of the base lvl 1 classes then i might as well just get the expansions.

cerulean tendon
#

gatheres, ok

balmy plinth
#

is there any reason I always get like under level 40 dungeons in levelling roulette when im lvl 65?

remote lintel
#

how is it lame

faint flare
#

Diadem is to get the ishgard restoration mats for thr crafters

twilit arch
#

because that's the dungeon that needed bodies @balmy plinth

cerulean tendon
#

so say i got lvl 80 finished MSQ, what i should be looking to do? Dailies? Daily Rouletes? I am kind of lost at this point in time

remote lintel
#

raids

faint flare
#

Whatever you want

remote lintel
#

unlock the nier and Eden raids

faint flare
#

You're free

cerulean tendon
#

I know, but what are my options

#

😄

remote lintel
#

anything

faint flare
#

Your options is basically the whole game

cerulean tendon
#

so play raids, get gear, etc, that i know

faint flare
#

Raids, gearing, roulette, side content like gold saucer

#

Go level crafters/gatherers

oak smelt
#

@remote lintel
pld is well a cool ass paladin. she protecc. she attacc. but most of all she got thicc winged stacks.

drk is well a dank knight. the quest seems really cool so far. edgy big sword meme personified.

granted i dunno much about ast apart from what ive seen but it just seems like throwing cards. and i dont like playing cards.

faint flare
#

Do sightseeing logs

cerulean tendon
#

i am asking, only because there are side acitivites that are somewhat hiddne

remote lintel
#

ast is a healer that reads the stars and uses tarot cards to turn the tide of battle in their favor

cerulean tendon
#

so i may not know about them

glossy flare
#

you throw the cards to your friends

civic patrol
#

If i wanted to level a crafter and gatherer together, what would be the best 2?
Highest are miner at 36 and BSM at 22

faint flare
#

!faq contentunlock

zinc orbitBOT
glossy flare
#

it's wholesome

cerulean tendon
#

oh, theres a list

#

awesome

faint flare
#

You can refer to stuff you can unlock here

cerulean tendon
#

thank you, never saw that

oak smelt
#

i could try arcanist. healer and dps. plus i get to ||flex on tataru||

glossy flare
#

why would you :c

oak smelt
#

tough love

remote lintel
#

tataru does more than arcane magic

oak smelt
#

@glossy flare imagine that within the lore lol. ||poor tataru completely poofs the arc test. wol tries a couple of months later and boom is the best arcanist in eorzea within a few weeks. crushing defeat.||

#

is a steam sale for ShB within the realm of possibility or am i grasping at straws?
i dont mind paying full price. im just a miser. but if it means likely having to wait too long its not worth.

twilit arch
#

its possible that there might be like a black friday or christmas sale for steam

#

but no way to tell

faint flare
#

Considering we had sales not too long ago i doubt one would be prior to black friday

oak smelt
#

aaaaah thats too far away

#

f it im gonna splurge.

#

i just need to get shadowbringers on steam right? SB is included?

faint flare
#

If you're on trial

#

You need starter edition and Shadowbringers

oak smelt
#

nah i have the base game

twilit arch
#

then all you need is shadowbringers

faint flare
#

Then just Shadowbringers

oak smelt
#

oks thanks

manic tinsel
#

till what level is the job quest?

remote lintel
#

70

#

then you have role quests

twilit arch
#

80 technically, but 70-80 is largely taken over by role quests

thorn mantle
#

i will still be able to get scrips after the ranking for skybuilders right?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

the ranking season has no bearing on your ability to get scrips

ashen flume
#

I'm new to the game and just in the core version (level 42). Is it going to be possible/enjoyable to do the static 8p raids before buying the xpac or should I just assume I need to get to current endgame for anything challenging?

thorn mantle
#

ok ty

remote lintel
#

you need to get to endgame

#

statics are for endgame stuff

faint flare
#

There isnt really many groups/statics for old content

#

There isnt really any reason to do them synced

ashen flume
#

Gotcha - okies.. thanks!

faint flare
#

Normal modes you can do

remote lintel
#

I mean you can still do the 8 man raids

faint flare
#

Just not extreme, savage or coils

ashen flume
#

ah, so can do them is 'fun mode'.. but nothing difficult

faint flare
#

Cause again, no one ques them

remote lintel
#

normal mode

#

statics are for the extreme or savage mode

full storm
#

i secure one line on wondrous tails but no way i'm getting a second one, should i shuffle or don't greedy ?

agile laurel
#

fully up to you tbh

dapper oyster
#

is it easy to get extreme trial weapon?

#

some of them are kinda... glowy me want

#

or moonlit weapon

marble drift
#

those aren't from extreme

#

those are crafted

dapper oyster
#

most of the time people talking about anima weapon, ive never heard anout these weapon but they looks not that bad

#

is it easy to craft it? ._.

marble drift
#

yeah its real easy

#

but they're also just tradable

#

so you can just buy one

dapper oyster
#

i just need like level 80 buddy?

marble drift
#

to craft the newest ones. I think you can craft them sooner than that

#

or leveling a crafting class yourself

#

blacksmith would handle most of the weapons

oak smelt
#

ok so i bought the expansion. if i dont want it to start downloading when i launch the game i just dont put in the key on the mogstation right?
when i enter the key itl become active?

remote lintel
#

yes

oak smelt
#

ok thanks

remote lintel
#

the crafting material for the extent weapons come from the extreme

#

extreme

dapper oyster
#

o boi this seat of sacrifice extreme..

nervous laugh

verbal storm
#

vou

dapper oyster
#

it looks great tho, i mean it doesnt glow that much but that makes it good

oak smelt
#

anyidea how big sb + shb is?
my internet is kinda potato so i need to set aside time for it to download while i work so i can play it when i get free.

marble drift
#

big

#

plan ahead

dapper oyster
#

20GB?

glossy flare
#

oak smelt
#

lemme check

glossy flare
#

I can tell you mine to compare

Where do I pick up lvl 1 gear? I just got gladiator and the Uldah NPC doesn't have lvl 1 gear except for chest

oak smelt

@glossy flare 33.6

granite swan

@oak smelt ffxiv is 47.7gb total on pc

glossy flare

yeah mine is 47.7

oak smelt

ah ok then its fine

dapper oyster

its not that potato lol

glossy flare
#

Where do I pick up lvl 1 gear? I just got gladiator and the Uldah NPC doesn't have lvl 1 gear except for chest
@sturdy mason you can check the market board, but it really doesn't matter too much at lvl 1

#

if you don't want to go pantsless just use some DoM pants

#

you'll replace them pretty soon anyway

dapper oyster
#

meanwhile my chara uses underwear on lvl 1
kinda reminds me of those mmorpg meme but u will get the equipment later

glossy flare
#

with how early gear has random colours you're gonna look like a clown anyway

#

thank god for glamours

Fabled Belt of Fending?

twilit arch
#

chuck the belt or put it on a retainer

since the belt is in the coffer and you can't have 2 unique items

brave ravine

glossy flare
#

hi im lvl 24 but i cant get the qeust for PotD
@mortal umbra did you complete the msq called "into a copper hell"

#

tamtara deepcroft you mean

#

anyway, you need to complete the quest with the copperbell mines dungeon to unlock the potd quest

#

no, it's right after tamtara

remote lintel
#

you get 3 dungeons in a row

sturdy mason
#

To play potd with a new job, I have to reset progress, but does that mean I start at floor 1 or 50 if I got that far?

remote lintel
#

1

sturdy mason
#

I recall doing a reset once that took me to 50

remote lintel
#

a class change?

sturdy mason
#

I don't remember if I did it during a class change

twilit arch
#

if you've hit the check point in Potd

#

you can reset to floor 51

sturdy mason
#

ah yes I'm seeing it now

#

the messaging is very misleading

unreal sierra
#

where can you spend tomestones on level 70 weapons?

twilit arch
#

rhaglr's reach, but you need to complete "Stormblood" to see the poetic vendors

sturdy mason
#

If I'm leveling a new job from level 3 or so, is it best to start from floor one?

twilit arch
#

no

#

if you can start at 51-60, then do that

glossy flare
#

there's also a vendor in Kugane, but also locked behind Stormblood completion

remote lintel
#

is it true that unwanted advice counts as harassment in the tos

marble drift
#

I mean if its delivered "man you're bad why dont you use X skill" then thats just straight harrassment

lyric warren
strange coral
#

Check for a nearby mechatoad with a ! marker

#

Also are you sure they wanted you to make that? They usually give you the materials right away

twilit arch
#

it says you already crafted one

lyric warren
#

ah i made one non-HQ

untold sand
#

is 500-1000 receiving ping in ffxiv considered "bad"?

#

500-2000

faint flare
#

Uhh, quite

#

Anything over 200 starts getting sketchy

sand stratus
#

if you're referring to this

#

that's not ping

untold sand
#

its not

#

how do u check in game ping then?

twilit arch
#

you can't do it in game, have to use external source

faint flare
#

Do it via this way

#

Cant do in game

untold sand

like 183-190

#

average 186

sand stratus

that's borderline, but playable

faint flare

Sketchy but doable

lyric warren

works until u need to precision dodge stuff x)

sand stratus

man, I live in the same city as the datacenters, and I still can't get single digit ping

lyric warren

what thats crazy

noble current
#

im crafting yellow scrips for my anima weapon for the quest a dream fulfilled, how many of those blue sands should i get before being able to finish the quest?

lyric warren
#

@sand stratus if it isnt your hardware you could try asking your ISP, if not you could try this stuff or stuff similar to this https://www.wtfast.com/en/

dry ocean
#

is the dragoon barding still available?

sand stratus
#

it could be my ISP being dumb

#

I get better ping on my work laptop connected to work VPN

twilit abyss
#

ISPs will throttle network traffic they deem unimportant

#

like

#

video games

sand stratus
#

how dare they

twilit abyss
#

VPN encrypts your data so they don't know what it is

sand stratus
#

I still get like 20ms though

#

so it's more than good enough

sturdy mason
#

Do people not do floor 61+ in potd after doing 51-60? DF pops instantly on 51 but takes forever on 61

twilit abyss
#

my explanation isn't entirely accurate, but close enough

#

^ i want to know this too

granite swan
#

because best xp is 51-60

twilit abyss
#

how do you level your aetherpool past 60 then?

granite swan
#

keep running it

wet sigil
#

how do spilers work on channels outside of #archived-lore-spoilers? like if i want to post on something on #rants that has a spoiler in it do I just put a [SPOILERS] at the start and will be fine?

granite swan
#

use || before and after the spoiler

wet sigil
#

ok tyvm

remote lintel
#

or you can highlight your text in the text box and click the eye

granite swan
#

So apparently neither the game nor my account page has any idea how many days i have left of gametime >.>

#

Its not showing on character select anymore lol

remote lintel
#

screenshot on mog

granite swan
remote lintel
granite swan
#

Im still on the free 45 days and char select use to say lol

#

but now it doesn't >.>

#

Use to say like Days Remaining: X or something

proven bay
#

Can you play the game though?

granite swan
#

Yeah

proven bay
#

Because the free days might not have run out yet then

granite swan
#

But its annoying not knowing how many i have left anymore lol

#

and idk why it just vanished today

raven sage
#

Did you set up your payment method recently?

proven bay
#

Then my guess is that tomorrow your first sub transaction will go through

granite swan
#

I tried to, but it wouldnt work

raven sage
#

Because recurring payments don't have a timer like that

#

It says you have it recurring though?

slate arrow
#

Days remaining is only there to remind you to resubscribe

#

It's asking for more money, not a reminder

granite swan
#

Well i had like 20ish days left

proven bay
#

And then all of a sudden it went to zero?

granite swan
#

ya its not showing anymore

raven sage
#

But when did you try to set up the payment method?

proven bay
#

^

granite swan
#

like last week sometime

proven bay
#

If you did it with 20 days left it might have overwritten the free days

granite swan
#

nah it wouldnt even accept it

proven bay

Though I'm not entirely sure how this works since I never encountered it myself

raven sage
#

Well the mogstation is acknowledging that you set up a recurring payment method

#

Which is why the time isn't there anymore

proven bay
#

Try contacting support. I don't think anyone's gonna be able to help you with this here. It seems like a transactional issue

slate arrow
#

If you've attempted to set it up it's removes the days remaining on the character select page

fresh lodge
#

It only shows the days remaining while you don't have recurring subscription on

granite swan
#

Guess ill try contacting support, cause if it did start, it didnt send me my xp helm >.>

noble current
#

deos it matter in what stats i put my crystalsand for anima weapon to complete the quest and get the next step?

raven sage
#

The helmet is from the collector's edition

granite swan
#

No the RAF xp helm

raven sage
#

oh the feather?

#

It doesn't look like it started yet

#

Like I said it's just acknowledging the recurring method

#

Not that it began recurring

fresh lodge
#

Yeah it hasn't taken the money yet

#

Since you already have sub time, it won't add more time until your current time is used up

remote lintel
#

@noble current no

noble current
#

so just get the 240/240

remote lintel
#

you're not going to use the weapon as gear anyway

noble current
#

yeah

opal ether
#

Anyone ever got this when starting up the game? Every time i start the game lately it crashes the first time with this error code, then i relaunch and it works fine

noble current
#

had it once

#

ive read about gaining + 3 when i have over 120 growth? does that mean i should get my anima onto 120/240 growth and then continue crafting those crystal sands?

fresh lodge
#

It'll stop you from making crystal sands once you have enough to reach the half way point

noble current
#

oh i see thanks

#

OH

#

the +3 is only a chance

proven bay
#

@opal ether I'm not sure what it is because I don't read Kanji. But if it launches there shouldn't be any problems. If it ain't broke don't fix it, as one says

opal ether
#

yeah its just weird that it crashes the first time i load the launcher, then works the second time every time...

#

but i suppose if it keeps working the 2nd time no issues

proven bay
#

However, if you suddenly end up not being able to launch the game I suggest copying the files from a friend or reinstalling the game entirely. I've had to do that a few times since some errors aren't fixable for the most part

granite swan
#

you can click the error window, Ctrl+C and paste it in google translate

opal ether
#

oooh ill try that next time it crashes and oh god

#

i hope that doesnt happen

proven bay
#

Yeah, it sucks

#

My download takes 9 hours because I don't have fiber internet hahAA Reinstalling fills me with joy

opal ether
#

it takes me al ong time too

#

no pls..

proven bay
#

But yeah, if your game suddenly isn't able to launch I suggest copying the files from a friend before considering reinstalling

#

Since that often fixes the issue

clever cave
#

I read ppl fixed by turning off overclock

#

Dunno if that applies to you tho

lone spruce
#

Okay so I logged off in front of the point I was supposed to go to and when I logged back on I can’t interact with it?

remote lintel

what are you trying to interact with

lone spruce
#

I’m supposed to go to this point and /lookout

remote lintel

it says /lookout

lone spruce
#

Ik but

#

It won’t let me select it/interact with it

remote lintel
#

just try typing /lookout

granite swan

you dont, you stand on the blue glowy

lone spruce

Nothing happened

is there a way to always activate "the right click" turning function when moving the mouse
i dont want a cursor when running with my character

@random inlet no

shut kelp
#

how could i make an emote hotbar? on hud layout 2? meaning everything i have on layout 1 would stay the same, but when i switch to layout 2, it would be all emotes

remote lintel

or you could just add a hotbar and put emotes on it

random inlet
shut kelp

can you do that?

how?

remote lintel

tick the ones you want

um, are modded hairstyles seen by other players in-game?

technically yes

gusty pasture

practically no

Is there a way to make Final Fantasy XIV audio play even when the window is not active? I have dual monitors with the game on the primary monitor and other stuff such as Discord on the secondary monitor and when I start typing in here, it silents the game. Is there a way to change that? Like is there a setting for that?

remote lintel
#

system config > sound settings

little swift
#

Under system config

calm phoenix
#

Is system config character specific or account-wide?

little swift
#

System config is system wide on that particular install

#

Iirc

calm phoenix
#

Okay, thanks!

little swift
#

But if you play on another computer it won't have the same settings

limpid hare
#

Hi I've just created a character but I can't set my home world to the one my friend's playing in (behemoth)

pulsar kiln
#

As I understand, anything that makes server-side changes without the express authorization of Square is a banable offense. The only way others would see any changes would be to make server-side changes. I doubt they could find client-side changes unless the change is giving you some special power.

limpid hare
#

Should I wait for the world to get lower population?

little swift
#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

pulsar kiln
#

@limpid hare
You do that as the final part of making a character before naming, i think.

Also ensure you're on the same datacenter.

remote lintel
#

mods are still bannable despite being client side

limpid hare
#

Yup I'm on the same datacenter

#

And I've been waiting for like 18 hours through night without it being unlocked

remote lintel
#

which world

little swift
#

!status behemoth

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

Behemoth is currently Online
This server is currently: Congested
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

little swift
#

Thats why

remote lintel
#

yeah

limpid hare
#

Would it ever be unlocked?

remote lintel
#

cant create a character on behemoth until next patch

pulsar kiln
#

Yes, but I am doubtful that they'd ever find out about them unless the affect of the mod is detectable server side.

little swift
#

You won't be able to make a character on behemoth for a long while

#

At least till like next patch

#

When they adjust the population status

limpid hare
#

So I have to pay to join a world?

little swift
#

No

#

You can join a non congested world

remote lintel
#

you cant create a character on that world at all

limpid hare
#

Yes I know

pulsar kiln
#

So what someone else said in terms of mod use
Technically banable, but practically not.

remote lintel
#

until next patch

limpid hare
#

When is the next patch?

twilit arch
#

you can't transfer to a congested world either

#

there's no date yet for 5.35

gusty pasture
#

has there been a case where someone has been banned because of it?

little swift
#

Likely a month from now

twilit arch
#

and there's no assurance that behemoth will stop being congested

limpid hare
#

...

pulsar kiln
#

Can you visit conjested worlds?

twilit arch
#

yes

remote lintel
#

yes

#

@gusty pasture most likely

little swift
#

has there been a case where someone has been banned because of it?
@gusty pasture if you use offensive/lewd mods and share screenshots of that on social media that's a way for you to get banned

pulsar kiln
#

What affect does visiting a conjested world have? I've never visited another world.

little swift
#

You could try joining another world in hopes that that world would be congested some day so you could get a free homeworld transfer to Behemoth providing that stops being congested

pulsar kiln
#

I'm aware.
What does visiting do?

little swift
#

You might have a queue though

#

Visiting lets you buy from their marketboard

it would also require behemoth to become preferred for that to work

World Visit System

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

you can only have 5 sets of markers?

little swift

Saved? Yup

pulsar kiln

@limpid hare
You have a solution.

Make a character on the same data center as your friend. Join your friend's free company's discord server. Visit their world to group.

If your friend is not in a free company; is not playing with other friends; and is willing, your friend may be willing to transfer to a different server to be with you.

limpid hare
#

@pulsar kiln Thank for the help! I wouldn't make them transfer to me though, that'd be too much

pulsar kiln
#

Psh, if they playing alone, you'd just pay for it if you want it.

limpid hare
#

Unfortunately I'd have to hold off this game until that "next patch" you talked about

#

nah I have 2 other people that want to join behemoth too

pulsar kiln
#

You can just play on the same data server. You can still do pretty much everything else with them.

limpid hare
#

and paying $18 each would be kinda... weird

#

Thanks!

pulsar kiln
#

You could use that as a means to explore all the classes.

#

Free trial and all.

Why behemoth?

If you don't have a friend already on it

It matters little where you go as a group

just finished heavensward and started the Stormblood MSQ,I'm a lvl 70 dragoon and noticed i have these 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers, dont know from where. Asked some ppl and they told me i can exchange them for some good stuff in a city. Should i spend it on a weapon lvl 70 or hold on to them ?

little swift
#

#kupo-bot-spam

#

Might as well use them

#

Calamity salavgaer is where you can grab stuff

#

Can't use it on current gear anyways

#

So 70 and below is your best bet

vivid bobcat
#

i see, anything else worthy of notice there except the weapon ? i bet the lvl 70 items can be exchanged for those allagan tokens we get from trials that cap at 2k

#

just as i did exchange them at level 50 in mordhona for ironworks and at lvl 60 at ishgard

remote lintel
#

poetics yes

little swift
#

Yes you can but you need to finish stormblood first

#

Besides weapon there's also chest/legs for the same set

vivid bobcat
#

okay, thanks for all the answers!

or you could use a different class and level that

What is the fastest way to level up crafters? I heard that it is unbearably slow for some people but there is a quick way to level them up

after you beat heavensward

you unlock the place to power level them

@thick flume hunt trains

calm phoenix
#

How do I unlock that?

thick flume
#

@untold sand whichever class you like the most

remote lintel
#

after you beat the quest "a litany of peace"

#

theres a side quest called towards the firmament

thick flume
#

Unless you’re at the highest level of speed runs and etc, whatever dps class you want to play doesn’t matter and relies purely on what you like

remote lintel
#

@wraith jay there is no sound that plays when a cutscene ends

#

oh

#

I could've sworn a sound does play thanks tho

#

ishgard is in heavensward

calm phoenix

Well there is that one area that is the same area in ARR where Stone Vigil is so I was not sure

#

its the main city of heavensward

calm phoenix

So, I got a bit to go then

Realistically only need 3

#

But 4 for button choice

remote lintel
#

@hexed solstice pc users can fit all skills on 3

crimson wind
#

Pet hotbar isn't really needed

rotund sable
#

technically i use 3 but one is 2x5

crimson wind

Just have 1 button for Sic

#

One for place as well

faint flare
#

Heel as well if scholar

calm phoenix
#

On average, I have been waiting double the "average wait time". Why has it been so inaccurate lately?

faint flare
#

It rarely ever is

#

Plus average =/= the time you will wait

calm phoenix
#

Why?

faint flare
#

Its a AVERAGE

remote lintel
#

we've told you multiple times to not take the queue times as facts

#

because they dont update in real time

faint flare
#

Averages are just sums of all the que times and the middle ground of them all

#

There WILL be times you get ques much faster or much slower

#

Because of statistics and maths

calm phoenix
#

It originally said "8m" for Halatali (Hard) and it has now been 22 minutes and says "20m"

the queue time wont be correct like 60% of the time

@crimson wind How do you set for guard without the bar? Do you just constantly leave it on guard?

crimson wind
#

you put it on sic

#

just put one button

#

for sic

faint flare
#

There's literally no reason to change Guard/steady

crimson wind
#

You use sic so you can use Egi Assault as your second GCD vinyl

faint flare
#

Yeah and there's no reason to put the pet on steady

#

You can just keep it on guard all the time

ashen flume
#

The two I can see using is guard and sic - I'd love to have those on keys without the full pet bar... can you macro those?

faint flare
#

Just

#

Put them on your hotbar

#

They're under actions and traits

#

In the pet tab

#

Sic (primarily for Summoner), place and heel (primarily for scholar but has uses for Summoner) are the 3 main pet commands you need

ashen flume
#

I guess I'm not looking in the right spot - under actions and traits I see the spells they cast

But you can simply swap back to entry after the time card runs out

I have 8 characters per server

Doesn’t have anything to do with how you bought the game

#

Then that’s standard sub, so the card will work fine as they’re priced around a standard subscription

Should be a flat $14.99

#

Unless you have extra retainers

candid sigil
#

And it will just add on to the free time I got with complete edition?

Cus they aren’t paid days

I heard that all you gotta do is get 60 paid days Then you get the reward instantly cus it’s not login based

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer

Oki doki, ty, do you use poetics for that set as well?

faint flare

Yes

remote lintel

Its the lv70 equilivant

poetics is basically the currency for old content gear

Does it matter if I complete a quest on an easier difficulty if I fail it once?

use that guide for gearing up with poetics etc

no jokius

makes no difference

slim jackal

Oh ok sweet

@remote lintel IrisTooHyperYay

The difficulty settings just give you a big buff

This quest just shrek me lol

Hello, I just invited a friend to play FF, but he cannot create a new character in my home world

#

He says my server is congested

slim jackal
#

Is it a server where new characters can't be made? o.o

leaden ginkgo
#

yyes

faint flare
#

Congested servers with a Capital C are permanently locked until next patch

#

You can still play with them as long as they make a character on the same data centre via world visit

#

Just wont be in the same FC or share housing

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

leaden ginkgo
#

can they transfer characters to my home world?

faint flare
#

Via world visits

remote lintel
#

you cant transfer into a congested world

faint flare
#

But not by proper transfer

oblique delta
#

I unlocked the retained, I just don't know how to give them jobs ? do I have to complete the retainer venture quest ?

faint flare
#

You do ill convinced ventures to assign retainers a job

#

Yes

oblique delta
#

oh cool

faint flare
#

As the job is needed to send them out

oblique delta
#

thanks for the answer!

leaden ginkgo
#

when does complete edition go on sale? friend wants to buy the game

remote lintel
#

whenever SE or steam wants it to be

leaden ginkgo
#

or are there any places like ebay

oblique delta
#

a sale for the games just ended like a few weeks ago

remote lintel
#

you can try authorized sellers

leaden ginkgo
#

he had a character on Primal like a year ago, but he's back into FF and wondering if he can transfer his old character to my congested server in Aether

faint flare
#

Nope

#

Fully congested servers cant be entered in any way, other than world visit

leaden ginkgo
#

well I guess the world visit restrictions aren't so bad?

faint flare
#

They're not

#

Just no FC, no housing and no accessing retainers/mail while visiting

leaden ginkgo
#

how do you visit a different world on the same dc?

#

i’ve never seen that option

faint flare
#

Go to the aetheryte in the 3 main cities

#

And the option is there

leaden ginkgo
#

i’ll check maybe i’ve missed it lol

#

can he still visit my house in my data center?

#

err

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

in my world

#

nice

faint flare
#

Just can't buy one or be a tenant

leaden ginkgo
#

can i ask questions about classes here?

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i stack the second stage of thm on the gauge

faint flare
#

Get higher level

#

Then it unlocks

#

Stacks are increased with each spell of that respective element used

leaden ginkgo
#

it says im able to stack the second but i cant

faint flare
#

Are you synced down

keen fable
#

what's the most played job?

leaden ginkgo
#

huh maybe thats it

remote lintel
#

a lot of them

keen fable
#

also, i'm confused about rook autoturret

#

is the volleyfire aoe, or single target?

#

also, what's the base duration?

faint flare
#

Single

remote lintel
#

like 10 secs iirc

keen fable
#

does it attack once every 3 seconds?

leaden ginkgo
#

can I still trade items with a friend from another world?

faint flare
#

Yes

misty blaze
#

I heard that when you get to level 80, you can do Shiva extreme solo (as a practice)? is that correct?

remote lintel
#

practice for what

#

it dies in like a minute

faint flare
#

You can easily solo it at 80 ues

misty blaze
#

to practice its abilities and stuff

remote lintel
#

it dies too fast

obsidian patio
#

If you mean for shiva unreal doing the ARR fight won’t help you much

misty blaze
#

I tried making practice party for shiva extreme but no one comes...I went in with duty finder even with my anxiety about it (first time there, read/watched guides before that), but it still took us 30mins to clear and experienced guys werent that happy that htere are newbies in the duty finder 😭

remote lintel
#

because no one does it sync

misty blaze
#

So I want to know how to learn extreme ingame without fucking up other poeple

remote lintel
#

do more recent content

#

not ARR content

misty blaze
#

Nah, not Shiva Unreal. I want to get used to extreme stuff for now ;d unreal is too far ahead for me

remote lintel
#

do extremes at lvl 80

#

basically everyone unsyncs anything lower

keen fable
#

OOH rook autoturret is a separate gauge?

#

i was trying to figure out why i'd use this over heat blast

remote lintel
#

its battery

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Its the second gauge

keen fable
#

so this i'm just waiting till max gauge and then popping it

remote lintel
#

not necessarily max

manic flare
#

why do i keep getting put into adder company for frontline when i am maelstrom?

remote lintel
#

its rng sneak

misty blaze
#

not ARR content
@remote lintel well I have that unlocked for now and it looks hella fun because grinding the MSQ is nice but can get a bit boring :/ But I will keep it in mind and prob just finish the grind

remote lintel
#

it doesnt matter what gc you are

keen fable
#

i'm assuming i won't rook overdrive unless the boss is either about to die or become undamageable?

proud willow
#

There are communities that do old Extreme content synced, often with echo silenced and/or Minimum ilvl turned on

faint flare
#

Yes dark

keen fable
#

cool thanks 😄

manic flare
#

wait, so i can't pick?

remote lintel
#

no you cant

proud willow
#

If you keep an eye out in Party Finder, you will occasionally see people doing synced runs of old content. Try befriending one of them

little swift
#

frontline freelancer is on no matter what

#

you cannot choose

rotund sable
#

There are also cwls for old syncs

misty blaze
#

CWLS?

remote lintel
#

cross world link shells

ah I see, thanks

#

Hey, im lv 56 RDM with mostly the RDM starting gear. Is it worth to upgrade to the Ironworks Gear, or is there another gear set that i should focus on?

remote lintel
#

you can

obsidian patio
#

100% upgrade the weapon if you haven’t already

true temple
#

weapon is already upgraded, have enough to buy the rest of the set, excluding the gloves

rotund sable
#

I mean if you're capped on tomestones definitely get some and run msq roulette so you can buy more gear at 60

leaden ginkgo
#

are most of the worlds in a Data Center located physically in the same server?

#

or is each world a separated physical server in the world?

#

just wondering if lag is an issue while visiting other worlds

faint flare
#

All of the same region data centres are in the same location

true temple
#

alright, thanks for the input

agile laurel
#

Any tips for sch in SoS ex adds?

faint flare
#

All NA data centres are in the same location

leaden ginkgo
#

oh, so ping should be around the same then

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks Vinyl

faint flare
#

They're all like Sacramio CA

#

Or something

manic flare
#

i notice that the defender and attacker skills for chocobo are the same for the first 5-6 moves

#

so does it matter if i spec him as attacker or defender?

#

i kind of just want a tank for my dps character

faint flare
#

The birb is a terrible tank

manic flare
#

but if the skills are the same, i prefer chocobo do more damage

faint flare
#

The healer birb is superior

manic flare
#

so spec chocobo as healer?

faint flare
#

The birb will only really tank if you only press 1 button out of your whole kit

manic flare
#

what do you mean by press 1?

faint flare
#

The healer birb basically covers your survivability solo

#

As in. Literally use only 1 skill

#

If you use more than 1 skill you'll rip aggro cause the birb doesn't do much damage or generate much aggro

manic flare
#

so he can still tank even as an attacker?

faint flare
#

Yes but again, you'll just rip aggro

manic flare
#

by tank i mean pull aggro

#

what do you mean by rip aggro?

faint flare
#

As in you'll take the aggro and be tanking

#

Because the birb is really bad at holding it

manic flare
#

even as a defender?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

If you have more than 1 braincell you'll take the aggro as you'll be doing far more damage than the bird

#

Which is why healer is superior

leaden ginkgo
#

does food buff stack to 6% if consumed twice? i see that its timer can be stacked

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

my exp % says otherwise

faint flare
#

Just extends the time

leaden ginkgo
#

it went from 200% to 206% not sure why

#

just mining at the same point

faint flare
#

You got road to 70?

leaden ginkgo
#

ye

faint flare
#

Thats why

#

Road to 70 doubles everything

leaden ginkgo
#

oh wow so it doubles the food buff too

manic flare
#

why is it that my equipment (after i wear it for awhile) has better stats than the same exact equipment i bought it on markeboard?

#

and what causes this?

faint flare
#

Normal quality

#

Has lower stats than other gear of equal item level

#

Never buy normal quality gear

#

Post 50

manic flare
#

how do you tell if its normal quality

faint flare
#

It doesn't have HQ

#

In the name

#

And not shiny

manic flare
#

how do you guys solo boss fight fates if you are dps
