Yeah, that seems to be the mistake I made the first time
is there any other way to improve a piece of gear besides socketing materia?
Hey im a ps4 player, if i buy the game on pc does my dlc transfer?
I don't think so
you have to buy the game, including the expansions, for pc
is paladin really easier to use than warrior
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
No. Same exact name and comparing prices brings up the same thing
If it doesn't stack in your inventory, it won't stack on the market either
you have two sell them as two separate items because that's what they are
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.
playing a melee dps might help you understand positional attacks
and make you think about where you place a boss *as a tank
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
when's a good time to try out other classes/roles
This Diadem i see some references, is for crafters? Only? Im very fresh lvl 80 😄
gatherers
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.
gatheres, ok
is there any reason I always get like under level 40 dungeons in levelling roulette when im lvl 65?
how is it lame
Diadem is to get the ishgard restoration mats for thr crafters
because that's the dungeon that needed bodies @balmy plinth
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
raids
Whatever you want
unlock the nier and Eden raids
You're free
anything
Your options is basically the whole game
so play raids, get gear, etc, that i know
@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.
Do sightseeing logs
i am asking, only because there are side acitivites that are somewhat hiddne
ast is a healer that reads the stars and uses tarot cards to turn the tide of battle in their favor
so i may not know about them
you throw the cards to your friends
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
!faq contentunlock
it's wholesome
You can refer to stuff you can unlock here
thank you, never saw that
i could try arcanist. healer and dps. plus i get to ||flex on tataru||
why would you :c
tough love
tataru does more than arcane magic
@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.
its possible that there might be like a black friday or christmas sale for steam
but no way to tell
Considering we had sales not too long ago i doubt one would be prior to black friday
aaaaah thats too far away
f it im gonna splurge.
i just need to get shadowbringers on steam right? SB is included?
nah i have the base game
then all you need is shadowbringers
Then just Shadowbringers
oks thanks
till what level is the job quest?
80 technically, but 70-80 is largely taken over by role quests
i will still be able to get scrips after the ranking for skybuilders right?
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?
ok ty
There isnt really many groups/statics for old content
There isnt really any reason to do them synced
Gotcha - okies.. thanks!
Normal modes you can do
I mean you can still do the 8 man raids
Just not extreme, savage or coils
ah, so can do them is 'fun mode'.. but nothing difficult
Cause again, no one ques them
i secure one line on wondrous tails but no way i'm getting a second one, should i shuffle or don't greedy ?
fully up to you tbh
is it easy to get extreme trial weapon?
some of them are kinda... glowy me want
or moonlit weapon
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? ._.
i just need like level 80 buddy?
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
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?
yes
ok thanks
o boi this seat of sacrifice extreme..
nervous laugh
vou
it looks great tho, i mean it doesnt glow that much but that makes it good
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.
20GB?
what's your xiv folder size right now?
lemme check
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
@glossy flare 33.6
@oak smelt ffxiv is 47.7gb total on pc
yeah mine is 47.7
ah ok then its fine
so around 14?
its not that potato lol
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
meanwhile my chara uses underwear on lvl 1
kinda reminds me of those mmorpg meme but u will get the equipment later
with how early gear has random colours you're gonna look like a clown anyway
thank god for glamours
chuck the belt or put it on a retainer
since the belt is in the coffer and you can't have 2 unique items
is balmung restricted to create characters? or is it just full?
!status balmung
just temporarily character creation locked
too many people on rn
you wont be able to create char on Balmung until around 2-4AM in the morning
gotta wait till off hours
i asume its 2am na time @brave ravine ?
2AM server time, so PST
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
you get 3 dungeons in a row
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?
1
I recall doing a reset once that took me to 50
a class change?
I don't remember if I did it during a class change
where can you spend tomestones on level 70 weapons?
rhaglr's reach, but you need to complete "Stormblood" to see the poetic vendors
If I'm leveling a new job from level 3 or so, is it best to start from floor one?
there's also a vendor in Kugane, but also locked behind Stormblood completion
is it true that unwanted advice counts as harassment in the tos
I mean if its delivered "man you're bad why dont you use X skill" then thats just straight harrassment
where do i get the mats the dwarf npc didnt give me any o.O? https://i.imgur.com/puqTOT6.png
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
it says you already crafted one
ah i made one non-HQ
you can't do it in game, have to use external source
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9

Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
that's borderline, but playable
Sketchy but doable
works until u need to precision dodge stuff x)
man, I live in the same city as the datacenters, and I still can't get single digit ping
what thats crazy
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?
@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/
is the dragoon barding still available?
it could be my ISP being dumb
I get better ping on my work laptop connected to work VPN
how dare they
VPN encrypts your data so they don't know what it is
Do people not do floor 61+ in potd after doing 51-60? DF pops instantly on 51 but takes forever on 61
because best xp is 51-60
how do you level your aetherpool past 60 then?
keep running it
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?
use || before and after the spoiler
ok tyvm
or you can highlight your text in the text box and click the eye
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
screenshot on mog

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
Can you play the game though?
Yeah
Because the free days might not have run out yet then
But its annoying not knowing how many i have left anymore lol
and idk why it just vanished today
Did you set up your payment method recently?
Then my guess is that tomorrow your first sub transaction will go through
I tried to, but it wouldnt work
Because recurring payments don't have a timer like that
It says you have it recurring though?
Days remaining is only there to remind you to resubscribe
It's asking for more money, not a reminder
Well i had like 20ish days left
And then all of a sudden it went to zero?
ya its not showing anymore
But when did you try to set up the payment method?
^
like last week sometime
If you did it with 20 days left it might have overwritten the free days
nah it wouldnt even accept it

Though I'm not entirely sure how this works since I never encountered it myself
Well the mogstation is acknowledging that you set up a recurring payment method
Which is why the time isn't there anymore
Try contacting support. I don't think anyone's gonna be able to help you with this here. It seems like a transactional issue
If you've attempted to set it up it's removes the days remaining on the character select page
It only shows the days remaining while you don't have recurring subscription on
Guess ill try contacting support, cause if it did start, it didnt send me my xp helm >.>
deos it matter in what stats i put my crystalsand for anima weapon to complete the quest and get the next step?
The helmet is from the collector's edition
No the RAF xp helm
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
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
@noble current no
so just get the 240/240
you're not going to use the weapon as gear anyway
yeah
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
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?
It'll stop you from making crystal sands once you have enough to reach the half way point
@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
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
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
you can click the error window, Ctrl+C and paste it in google translate
Yeah, it sucks
My download takes 9 hours because I don't have fiber internet
Reinstalling fills me with joy
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
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?
what are you trying to interact with
it says /lookout
just try typing /lookout
you dont, you stand on the blue glowy
leave the zone and come back
It should work as long as you stand on top of the thing
Normally I’d just quit the quest but it’s msq so I can’t oof
I already left the area before, nothing changed
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
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
or you could just add a hotbar and put emotes on it

um, are modded hairstyles seen by other players in-game?
also, does it risk a ban?
technically yes
planning to get some for my Viera
practically no
Ahh alright I wouldn't risk it
they would only ban you if other people found out
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?
system config > sound settings
Under system config
Is system config character specific or account-wide?
Okay, thanks!
But if you play on another computer it won't have the same settings
Hi I've just created a character but I can't set my home world to the one my friend's playing in (behemoth)
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.
Should I wait for the world to get lower population?
!faq serverlock
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.
@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.
mods are still bannable despite being client side
Yup I'm on the same datacenter
And I've been waiting for like 18 hours through night without it being unlocked
which world
!status behemoth
Thats why
yeah
Would it ever be unlocked?
cant create a character on behemoth until next patch
Yes, but I am doubtful that they'd ever find out about them unless the affect of the mod is detectable server side.
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
So I have to pay to join a world?
you cant create a character on that world at all
Yes I know
So what someone else said in terms of mod use
Technically banable, but practically not.
until next patch
When is the next patch?
has there been a case where someone has been banned because of it?
Likely a month from now
and there's no assurance that behemoth will stop being congested
...
Can you visit conjested worlds?
yes
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
What affect does visiting a conjested world have? I've never visited another world.
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
I'm aware.
What does visiting do?
it would also require behemoth to become preferred for that to work
Can you form groups or join free companies on different worlds?
no
you can form parties
not fcs
you can form groups
but you can't join a free company
Didn't think so.
What about linkshells? I also don't know what linkshells are.
doesn't affect them
linkshells are just private chat channels
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?
Saved? Yup
@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.
@pulsar kiln Thank for the help! I wouldn't make them transfer to me though, that'd be too much
Psh, if they playing alone, you'd just pay for it if you want it.
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
You can just play on the same data server. You can still do pretty much everything else with them.
Why behemoth?
If you don't have a friend already on it
It matters little where you go as a group
!faq free company
!faq freecompany
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 ?
#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
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
poetics yes
Yes you can but you need to finish stormblood first
Besides weapon there's also chest/legs for the same set
okay, thanks for all the answers!
or you could use a different class and level that
can u get those feathers from anywhere else, btw?
theyre just RAF iirc
How can I abandon "Leves of Little Ala Mhigo"?
from your journal
you also get a few feathers for certain mog station purchases I think
abandon the leve first?
is there a way to get a fate party going? trying to do fates in azim steppe but i dont think anyone is here ;-;
would i use party finder?
possibly, but it's pretty unlikely you'll find something there
yes you put up a PF
doesn't hurt to do it either way
oki doki
i saw a tai chi emote, that a monk was doing, not the one from mogstation, where can i find that?
nvmind, found it, lol
Does anyone know if there's a way to change the sound that plays when a cutscene ends (how do you guys know when a cutscene in praetorium/castrum ends)

What’s the best way to farm phantasmagoria and how long does it take to get from 0 to cap
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
recommended dps class?
you unlock the place to power level them
@remote lintel Me?
yes you
How do I unlock that?
@untold sand whichever class you like the most
after you beat the quest "a litany of peace"
theres a side quest called towards the firmament
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
@wraith jay there is no sound that plays when a cutscene ends
And where is that quest?
guess I'm hallucinating
in ishgard near the aetheryte
Is it a "+" quest?
yes
ARR isgard or Heavenward?
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
So, I got a bit to go then
@hexed solstice pc users can fit all skills on 3
Pet hotbar isn't really needed
technically i use 3 but one is 2x5
Just have 1 button for Sic
One for place as well
Heel as well if scholar
On average, I have been waiting double the "average wait time". Why has it been so inaccurate lately?
Why?
Its a AVERAGE
we've told you multiple times to not take the queue times as facts
because they dont update in real time
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
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
is leveling in shadowbringers hard? or basically the same as before
No
im at cap but still have 3 levels of msq to go
Same as always
alright
so just roulette and highest lvl dungeon
ok, ill sacrifice those xp for the story then
Explicitly pixie
Pet hotbar isn't really needed
@crimson wind How do you set for guard without the bar? Do you just constantly leave it on guard?
There's literally no reason to change Guard/steady
You use sic so you can use Egi Assault as your second GCD vinyl
Yeah and there's no reason to put the pet on steady
You can just keep it on guard all the time
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?
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
I guess I'm not looking in the right spot - under actions and traits I see the spells they cast
Can someone send me a tell while I'm in Eureka?
No because its still a instance
Whats the best use for seals im almost capped at 50k
Why is my Chocobo's level capped at 1? I have her stabled at the free company estate and it has a green "1" and I am told that means that it cannot go any higher! There is another Chocobo there that is capped at 10 so why is mine capped at 1?
Nobody knows why my chocobo is capped at 1? It is only my chocobo that is that way?
Can someone in my friend list see that I'm currently in Eureka?
Why is nobody helping me with my problem with my chocobo?
because people arent online 24/7 to help you with your problems
what does it say on your chocobo details
The world doesn't revolve around you
take it out, summon it in the wild, kill something in a fate or around your own level.

Is there a quest finder for job quests like for msq?
if a new job quest for your current job is available it will be displayed right unter your current msq
in the top left
@tulip plover Squadron Jobs only count for traits, or command missions, in command missions you want 2 rogues for dps.
(as there's only 1 squadron healer class there's little choice there, and tank is also limited to marauder & gladiator, both are fine there)
how do get
Achivment points
Hi guys. I'm trying to find walnut lumber. The guide says ixali vendor in North shroud but not in his shop list.
You have to rank up enough to see it in his shop
I think rank 5 or 6 puts it in there
Oh poop
Any where else except crafting
You have to rank up enough to see it in his shop
@obsidian patio
Thankz
so i just hit 70 while doing the Stormblood campaign and my exp bar became red?
Buy Shadowbringers and register it to your account
How can I get? And can it be bought from the market board?
so i did that, bought it on steam shortly after. is it just like a waiting game for it to register?
can you be in 1 free company per character?
can NM fates still pop in locked eureka instances?
@calm phoenix IIRC it’s from the kupo of fortune tickets at the ishgard restoration
Yes
yeah i did that, i closed steamed, the game, nothing so far
Can you go to this part of your mogstation and take a picture of it?
Looks like you only bought Shadowbringers and didn’t register it to your account
BUT
Enter the code you have in the cd keys menu from steam onto your mogstation by clicking “enter expansion registration code”
so I am making my own party for the first time with the party finder. How do I start a trial in synced mode after I find people for it? (to get better challenge than unsynced)
that minion must be a rare drop from Kupo of Fortune, there is not one under 750,000 gil on the market board
@misty blaze just queue for the duty.
Have the Diadem fishing spots for each weather changed?
Never done diadem fishing so can’t say.
nice found it, thanks
So even if we are full party, I just queue us for the duty with the duty finder? nice
Yep
I just bought a time card but I’m still on the free 40 days that you get for purchasing the complete edition. Do I have to wait until that is over or will The time card work now?
Alright cus I’ve heard people say you can’t do it with entry level subscription
But they could just be talking about free trial
Oh entry sub, in that case I’m not sure you can use time cards
But you can simply swap back to entry after the time card runs out
Yeah I just bought complete edition last week
@obsidian patio entry sub just means right after you bought a version of the game right?
Or free trial?
!faq subprice
It determines how many characters you can have in total and on a specific world
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
And it will just add on to the free time I got with complete edition?
Cus they aren’t paid days
The price of standard sub changes depending on how many days you buy at once
As shown in the picture
Your paid days start after ALL free days have been given out
Wait
So if I put in the 60 day code now
Will I not get veteran rewards?
Until all free days are done?
No
Veteran rewards count for paid days
I know this because it didn't give me the first veteran reward till I started paying
I heard that all you gotta do is get 60 paid days Then you get the reward instantly cus it’s not login based
If you log into your character it'll say at the bottom before you log in "subscribed days" then under that it says "veteran rewards"
I know
Did you try putting the code in?
I would try but if you wanna play it safe and wait you could do that too
That code doesn't expire anyway
I would def say just wait it out
To be extra safe
yo i just bought the game

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
@strange cove ping them
Your account region only determines where you buy keys from
your account has nothing to do with datacenter tho
You can pick whatever data centre you want when you log in
im assuming he means play in NA
oh ok
You could buy a NA account and then play on jp and it wouldn't matter
You might have some lag but you can still play regardless
can someone explain to me how the yojimbo cup spinning works?
I checked via video-recording if it's just the same cup before & after the "big fast spin", but apparently it's not as the dog was one over >_>
so I'm completely confused if I should even pay attention to the cups or just choose at random.
The cup is pure rng
Just make your account the same region you're in
its just sometimes in games if i log in with like a chilean account i usually dont have access anything lol
@open ember just did it
Oh!
For the paid code?
ye
Or free days
paid code
Nice nice
free days dont count
Yea that's what I was thinking
What stat effects hasty touch?
control
Is dark mage good in savages? im just trying to plan for end game

would anyone be willing to help me clear the new trial seat of sacrifice?
What the hell. I can't get on top of "North star" boat. There's no one to get up and I can't fly in this new area o.o
How do I get to the destination? Because it will not let me jump up there
go through the house?
No because there is no door back there
can't you just fly
It will not let me mount go there
Nothing? Just a few wrong answers and no actual answers?
you need to calm down
you are incredibly impatient
You tried going all round the house?
Ok got it
attacking people who are trying to help you will make people not want to help you
people here are volunteering their time to help, there is no need to be an impatient pointy-finger, sorry.
Someone was nice enough to fly me up xD
Yes I have went all around the house. I am on the only platform near there and everywhere else it is too high to jump and it will not let me jump up there from the platform
you may be able to reach it from ground level unless the camera angle doesnt allow.
that is where I am standing yet it will not let me jump up there from there. Look at my screenshot again
can you not interact with the object from that distance
it helps if you're not zoomed all the way out
so you can actually see where you're going
No "too far away" but @polar hound's answer did it
Don't you have to go through the house?
theres no door there
also it seems like theres an invisible wall so youre not supposed to stand there anyway
i tried
Ah, I might be thinking of a different location
nice, remember that for future quests. you do not need to be directly on top of the destination, just near and it be visible.
Now I cannot get this one
go around
go on the cliff
onto the hill
and jump on the roof
^
need to jump off the hill nearby
Should I continue A realm Reborn with my level 50 bard or with my level 35 ninja?
go west a bit, there's a large hill there
Do it on whatever job you want
It doesnt matter?
Ah ok
Thank You
unless you want the exp
As long as you hit the minimum required level
I do
For the quest
then switch
You can do ir
main story is mainly solo stuff so no rush or worry there
Just trying to get to Ishgard
if you wanna level others go for it, if you wanna push through and get some more content heckie yeah
You unlock more by doing that right?
main story gates mostly all content in ffxiv yep
If the ninja is lower than msq level might need some grinding to get back on track but there isnt really a need to only do one job
Ah ok

Or unlock an expansion job if available
you can use ninja to soak up the msq exp
I am missing two more but no destinations are marked within the orange circle
Yeah sounds like a good idea
depends on your pacing really.. if youre in a rush for story then just power through but it'll be there either way 🙂
why are there so many people in diadem suddenly
they are there
Then should be fine since nin will get armory bonus
look harder
some are inside the house
Because of the new ranking season @sharp meteor
People need mats
Thanks
I went in the house, there is nothing
what is the quest
Deck the hut
Also, how do I sell silver pieces or sell stuff in general?
what's the current maximum price for a small house rn?
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)
@wild swan
Thanks
you can sell stuff to general merchants also but market board, this is your only way
Ah ok
!faq Housing
See here @red junco
bless
whats a ranking season 
man cerb you are d.e.d.i.c.a.t.e.d. kudos
thats a youtube video
something that ain't worth it and rewards botting 
prolly better off linking him that video at this point lol
I found them. there was a small room to the right that was barely noticeable
Is tyhere anything to do while afk?
So you know how in ARR you can get ironworks gear which is good
And HW has the same but for Shire
What's a good set like those two but for Stormblood into Shadowbringers?
Scaevan @south elk
housing is largely and primarily a gil dump yeah. apartments arent bad but obviously smaller..more of them
Oki doki, ty, do you use poetics for that set as well?
Yes
they are all poetics gear
Its the lv70 equilivant
poetics is basically the currency for old content gear
!faq poetics
Of ironworks/shire
Thank you!
I400
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
The difficulty settings just give you a big buff
just there to assist, you cant 'fail' msq 😄
Depending what settings you pick
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
Is it a server where new characters can't be made? o.o
yyes
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
how do you give retainers jobs ?

can they transfer characters to my home world?
Via world visits
you cant transfer into a congested world
But not by proper transfer
I unlocked the retained, I just don't know how to give them jobs ? do I have to complete the retainer venture quest ?
oh cool
As the job is needed to send them out
thanks for the answer!
when does complete edition go on sale? friend wants to buy the game
whenever SE or steam wants it to be
or are there any places like ebay
a sale for the games just ended like a few weeks ago
you can try authorized sellers
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
well I guess the world visit restrictions aren't so bad?
i’ll check maybe i’ve missed it lol
can he still visit my house in my data center?
err
Yes
Just can't buy one or be a tenant
can i ask questions about classes here?
Yes
how do i stack the second stage of thm on the gauge
Get higher level
Then it unlocks
Stacks are increased with each spell of that respective element used
it says im able to stack the second but i cant
Are you synced down
what's the most played job?
huh maybe thats it
a lot of them
also, i'm confused about rook autoturret
is the volleyfire aoe, or single target?
also, what's the base duration?
Single
like 10 secs iirc
does it attack once every 3 seconds?
can I still trade items with a friend from another world?
Yes
I heard that when you get to level 80, you can do Shiva extreme solo (as a practice)? is that correct?
You can easily solo it at 80 ues
to practice its abilities and stuff
it dies too fast
If you mean for shiva unreal doing the ARR fight won’t help you much
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 😭
because no one does it sync
So I want to know how to learn extreme ingame without fucking up other poeple
Nah, not Shiva Unreal. I want to get used to extreme stuff for now ;d unreal is too far ahead for me
OOH rook autoturret is a separate gauge?
i was trying to figure out why i'd use this over heat blast
its battery
so this i'm just waiting till max gauge and then popping it
not necessarily max
why do i keep getting put into adder company for frontline when i am maelstrom?
its rng sneak
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
it doesnt matter what gc you are
i'm assuming i won't rook overdrive unless the boss is either about to die or become undamageable?
There are communities that do old Extreme content synced, often with echo silenced and/or Minimum ilvl turned on
Yes dark
cool thanks 😄
wait, so i can't pick?
no you cant
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
There are also cwls for old syncs
CWLS?
cross world link shells
Cross world Linkshells
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?
you can
100% upgrade the weapon if you haven’t already
weapon is already upgraded, have enough to buy the rest of the set, excluding the gloves
I mean if you're capped on tomestones definitely get some and run msq roulette so you can buy more gear at 60
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
All of the same region data centres are in the same location
alright, thanks for the input
Any tips for sch in SoS ex adds?
All NA data centres are in the same location
oh, so ping should be around the same then
Yes
thanks Vinyl
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
The birb is a terrible tank
but if the skills are the same, i prefer chocobo do more damage
The healer birb is superior
so spec chocobo as healer?
The birb will only really tank if you only press 1 button out of your whole kit
what do you mean by press 1?
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
so he can still tank even as an attacker?
Yes but again, you'll just rip aggro
As in you'll take the aggro and be tanking
Because the birb is really bad at holding it
even as a defender?
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
does food buff stack to 6% if consumed twice? i see that its timer can be stacked
No
my exp % says otherwise
Just extends the time
You got road to 70?
ye
oh wow so it doubles the food buff too
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?
Normal quality
Has lower stats than other gear of equal item level
Never buy normal quality gear
Post 50
how do you tell if its normal quality
how do you guys solo boss fight fates if you are dps
kill fast
Healing chocobo
put all SP in healing?
