[sweet leaf]

ive done all the job quests im allowed to do

[faint flare]

Off cooldown

[halcyon glen]

JOB QUESTS

NOW

[remote lintel]

you need to job quests

[little swift]

ok so are you in heavensward?

[obsidian patio]

How far in the story are you?

[sweet leaf]

i go back to her and it says i need to complete more of the story

[little swift]

this would explain a lot

[halcyon glen]

Ohhhhh

[little swift]

he's not far enough into the msq

[halcyon glen]

Yeah okay uh

[sweet leaf]

i just started patch 2.4 quests

[little swift]

yup

ok

[halcyon glen]

You need to do more MSQ then

And ignore like 60% of what we said until you have

[little swift]

anyways use cure 2 over cure 1 when you have access to it

[halcyon glen]

^ do listen to that though

[sand stratus]

You're 70 and at 2.4

Jeez

[remote lintel]

i would level another class since your white mage is super over leveled for that expansion

[little swift]

and prepull regen is fine provided the tank is aggroing correctly

[granite swan]

which is never

[faint flare]

Regen, spam lucid on cooldown immediately

[mental zodiac]

Hey I had an 80 at 2.4 lol mostly cause I side tracked and wanted to Solo Nael with my wifey.

[faint flare]

And you'll barely run out of mana

[little swift]

use lucid at about 7k mana and then you'll be fine

don't spam your heals

[faint flare]

Also

[little swift]

use dps as well

[faint flare]

USE HOLU

Holy that shit

[halcyon glen]

Holy good

[faint flare]

Its the gooood aruff

[sweet leaf]

i use holy a lot but not when there's just 1 enemy

[faint flare]

Casual aoe stun

[halcyon glen]

Use it instead of healing if you can get a stun off

[faint flare]

Good

[halcyon glen]

It’s that good

[sweet leaf]

especaially if the one enemy is now resistant to stun

[little swift]

stone when you have 1 target

[faint flare]

Always het at least 3 holy per trash pack

[little swift]

healer dps matters

[mental zodiac]

Tanks love holy! Also do not depend on most rando tanks to Agro correctly and some will yell at you if you regen prepull.

[sand stratus]

If there are 3 or more enemies, holy is always worth it, even if they're resistant to stun

[faint flare]

^

Faster shit dies, less you heal

[sweet leaf]

benison is off cd spell?

[faint flare]

Thus more mana saves

Yes

[sweet leaf]

so i can use it between heals

cool

[faint flare]

Use it very liberally

Whenever you get into a dungeon you can use it

[halcyon glen]

Don’t think of it as something to use between heals

[remote lintel]

if it says ability its an ogcd

[sweet leaf]

and so my only aoe heals atm are medica, medica 2, and cure 3 but i don't think cure 3 is good

[faint flare]

Cure 3 is very strong but it needs people stacked up

Which pugs dont do often

[little swift]

cure 3 is aoe for when people are together and medica 2 is out

and it radiates from your target

rather than from you

[sweet leaf]

most of my duty roulettes have been praetorium or tam tara hard

[mental zodiac]

There are points when cure 3 can be useful, example some DG bosses have phases where the group pulls in together ifyou time it to land right after that damage then it is super epic.

[sand stratus]

Yeah you just need to progress farther into MSQ to get dungeons where you can take advantage of your kit

[halcyon glen]

Generally though your aoe healing until like 76 and having done your job quests is “drop Medica 2 and ignore the non-tanks again”

[viscid mica]

Anyone know the glam for the fashion check

[sweet leaf]

i'm working on rogue now, i got my sniper to 21 but feel like he hit a wall

[remote lintel]

sniper

huh

[sweet leaf]

archer

[granite swan]

I seriously question the people i team with while watch yall talkin ... >.>

[halcyon glen]

They’ll regen eventually and you have more important shit to do. Namely throw rocks at shit

[sweet leaf]

sorry, fire emblem speak

[remote lintel]

archers here have harps and sing songs

hes a singin man

[sweet leaf]

ive seen some with flutes?

how many instruments are there

[faint flare]

Performance

Unlocked at 30

There's quite a few

[halcyon glen]

The big thing you’ll need to learn about healing in FFXIV is unless someone is going to die if you don’t heal them, you should be throwing rocks or flashbangs at the bad guys

[sweet leaf]

is there...

a BONGO DRUM

[halcyon glen]

Yes

[sweet leaf]

YES

[remote lintel]

absolutely

unfortunately cant play during combat

[faint flare]

Or instances

[remote lintel]

cant bust out my bongos in prae

[faint flare]

Which is sad, wanted to play inbetween pulls

[sweet leaf]

oh i almost forgot

i asked a question earlier but got no answer

[granite swan]

How healing has been for me 90% of the time: Spam Cure 2 and pray cuz the tank mass pulls and doesnt use any CDs

[sweet leaf]

i needed to know if we can still get the fox ears and fox pup

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[hybrid bramble]

Is it not possible to host a FC for only two people?

[sweet leaf]

and how and where can we get it

[faint flare]

Its a super fate

[halcyon glen]

Not yet for you though

[faint flare]

In yanxia

[granite swan]

I told you :p it has a 12-24 hr cooldown for the fate tho

[sweet leaf]

orz

[faint flare]

Which is stormblood

[little swift]

you're a long way off story wise

[sweet leaf]

oh i missed it if you did soz

[halcyon glen]

You need to drop the other crap you’re doing and do MSQ for now

[granite swan]

I was gonna do it last night but i missed that fate and gave up after tryin for 2 hrs lol

[halcyon glen]

If you want to unlock any actual content

[sweet leaf]

i really wanna get atrologian, too

[remote lintel]

then pick it up

[faint flare]

He aint there yet

[sweet leaf]

i can't get into ishgard yet orz

[remote lintel]

i thought he was at hw

[little swift]

he close but not there yet

[remote lintel]

oh

nvm

[little swift]

nah 2.4

[sweet leaf]

ive been farming gil so my gf and i can buy a house when 5.3 releases

im at a million finally

[remote lintel]

you can do it way easier when you get to lvl cap

[sweet leaf]

or uhh

i forgot which patch it would be

[sand stratus]

1m isn't gonna be enough

[remote lintel]

5.35

[granite swan]

5.3.5 i think ?

[sweet leaf]

no i know it isn't

[polar hound]

@random hollow sorry for the VERY late reply, when i tabbed back it was several hours behind..however, on controller if you're holding R2 or L2, you can tap L1/R1 to toggle through nearby enemies, leaving the dpad mainly for your party members.

[little swift]

.35 is correct

[sweet leaf]

i think the one we want is 3 mil?

[sand stratus]

By the time you finish MSQ, you'll probably have something close to that

[sweet leaf]

it's one of the beachfront tier 1 houses in the mist

[granite swan]

You do know the housing market is absurdly cutthroat tho right?

[sweet leaf]

unfortunately yes

it's depressing

[granite swan]

ok just making sure ;p

[sweet leaf]

but we would just want to grab one and keep it

[remote lintel]

tier 1 might be closer to 5 mil

[polar hound]

especially beach front, best of luck

[sweet leaf]

also i managed to farm enough allagan tomes to buy all the augmented ironworks healer gear

no idea when i'll be replacing it but it's pretty nice

[little swift]

4.2k poetics is pretty quick to get

whereas several mil

not so much

you'll replace your augmented ironworks at around level 55 msq

[sturdy anvil]

do the GP generation traits from mining/botanist stack?

[little swift]

so around the dungeon ||the aery||

[faint flare]

Yes

Capped at 7 gp regen

[sturdy anvil]

ok thanks

[granite swan]

Anyone know the macro for dropping Asylum on my target?

[faint flare]

/ac "Asylum" <t>

Repeat line for reliability

[granite swan]

ok thanks

[sweet leaf]

oh i had another question

i tried fiddling with targetting settings so that i could tab between allies as well as enemies

but i couldn't get it to work

[random hollow]

is there any wrong answer here?

[faint flare]

No, just flavour

Alot of dialogue options are flavour

[random hollow]

are some which are not?

[remote lintel]

targetting settings are different when your weapon is sheathed vs unsheathed

[faint flare]

The ones that are confirmations usually about doing stuff, like "are you ready"

Saying no just puts you back

[random hollow]

ok thx

[granite swan]

I found "Targeting Settings" to be bogus, i have it set to only target agroed enemies and it always picks yellowed enemies across the way >.>

[sweet leaf]

so it's broken not just for me

good to know lul

[little swift]

f1 to f8 are your party list by default

also i like to use this personally

[sweet leaf]

getting up to those buttons is a hassle and i never know which one i press unless i look down at it

[random hollow]

f12 suposedly targets closes enemy but takes a screenshot instead

[tulip plover]

Why cant i find certain equips in my inv but the vendor says i have 1 already

[sweet leaf]

it does if you're on steam

[granite swan]

@tulip plover Might be in your Armory

[raven sage]

Do a /isearch for it

It'll tell you what page it's in

[open coral]

Or right click the item name and search it

[random hollow]

so I'd have to disable screenshot on steam?

[tulip plover]

Nah dont see it

[sweet leaf]

or change it

[plain python]

does quick synth cause exp loss?

[faint flare]

Its lowet xp

As you're not getting the HQ bonus

[vestal needle]

for the jump GATE, can we leave once we are done

[faint flare]

Yes

[vestal needle]

or do we have to wait for timer?

[faint flare]

You can leave

[vestal needle]

are there instances for yourself sometimes? I went in and i dont see anyone

[tulip plover]

I still dont get why its not in my armoury

[raven sage]

Did you search for it?

[rotund sable]

anyone got a basic bitch stat prio for bard i can send my friend

[faint flare]

Crit > dh > det

[tulip plover]

Wtf why is it in my inv

[rotund sable]

ah so it is the standard dps stuff

pogu

[plain python]

if timer runs out in Leap of Faith, it means I fail and no/less reward, or i receive reward normally with whatever cactus I get?

[random hollow]

can this game be played in 2 monitors?

[plain python]

it can, like any other game?

[random hollow]

I mean, without stretching

like fullscreen 2 monitor

[plain python]

like this?

[random hollow]

yeah, that seems amazing lol

how can I do that

[sand stratus]

Some sort of surround setup?

[granite swan]

Triggered by hovering chat window

[plain python]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/a0lrvj/how_to_configure_ffxiv_for_dual_monitor/ <- maybe this help?

though it is recommended to have 3 monitors, cuz 2 means your characters will be split in half 😄

[random hollow]

oh noes Dx

all I wanted was to have the map on second screen lol

[opaque brook]

hi can someone direct me to some sort of list for jargon/terminology/shorthand, im having a hard time finding one on my own 😭

[plain python]

what term?

[opaque brook]

idr, someone tried to ask me to do something in a party last night but they were using shorthand that i didnt understand

[plain python]

how did he said it?

[opaque brook]

im sorry, i really cant recall clearly what was said, what they asked me to do was encompassed in a few letters so im assuming it had something to do w skills and whatnot

[plain python]

if it is in a dungeon run, maybe just mechanic?

[opaque brook]

maybe???

[empty parrot]

Was it LB?

Did you have a chat log or a screenshot of what they asked?

[sweet leaf]

that's another thing, i've never seen an LB gauge while in a duty

where do you find it?

There's some of the jargon

im sorry i dont have screenshots or anything

[thorny bluff]

Is there a level range where you want to start looking up guides on dungeons/bosses before doing them? The mechanics are getting a bit involved now from what I'm seeing. Currently level 38.

[sand stratus]

If you're struggling with mechanics, you can look them up at any level

[obsidian patio]

Dungeons as a whole can easily be done blind for the most part

They’re casual content

[thorny bluff]

Well, I haven't really had many groups super struggle with them thus far (outside of the bizarre Ifrit incident), I just don't want to end up faceplanting into a mechanically complex area with no prep.

[sand stratus]

If you just tell everyone you're new, they'll understand

And you can just ask someone to explain

Dungeons aren't really high pressure or anything

[thorny bluff]

I suppose Raids are the big thing, then?

[plain python]

starting lv35 dungeon (sunken temple), it begins to beg your attention on mechanic more as level goes up, though there are still many tank & spank.

in any case, don't rage quit. Give it a few try first. I have tank quitting on Pharos cuz a DPS didn't know the egg. I just recruit other tank and explain things. We cleared.

[leaden ginkgo]

you can always google / YouTube a dungeon to get a basic idea of what will happen in that dungeon

I used to do that when new so I could know what I was getting into

[granite swan]

Its kinda annoying to do tho with all 89293 dungeons you have to go through lol

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah definetly but videos can be like 2 minutes long

all you need to know about really is the 1 or 2 bosses

or if you say you’re new and ask about the mechanics someone will likely say, unless you’re all sprouts

[granite swan]

To bad you lose sprout before the end of SHB Lol

[sweet leaf]

whats SHB

[quiet wing]

@plain python your monitor bezels are too thick

this is how pros play

[leaden ginkgo]

This keeps happening to me when I try to finish making a character in the free trial

[open coral]

I once got almost all the way to the level 79 dungeon before I lost my sprout.

[sweet leaf]

how long does the sprout last

[quiet wing]

@leaden ginkgo looks like a dx11 issue

try using dx9

you can change it in the launcher settings

[leaden ginkgo]

Tysm

I’ll try doing that

[granite swan]

@sweet leaf Shadowbringer, Stormblood is SB, ShB for Shadowbringer

[quiet wing]

@leaden ginkgo tell me if it works <3

[leaden ginkgo]

@quiet wing oml it worked you’re a life saver

tytyty

[quiet wing]

<3

@leaden ginkgo what GPU do you have?

because your DX11 drivers might be corrupt i would suggest trying to fix that because issues might appear with other games too

and if u use dx11 you should get better performance

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhh that probably explains why other games keep crashing on me

I should look into that

[vital ruin]

How to get the wind up nidhogg

[quiet wing]

@leaden ginkgo yes alot of newer games dont use anything lower than dx11.

[polar hound]

@vital ruin you need to buy "The Far Edge of Fate: Ffxiv original soundtrack" for that minion. https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/441703/the-far-edge-of-fate-final-fantasy-xiv-original-soundtrack-blu-ray

[halcyon grail]

Okay, I'm about to start Shadowbringers. Is there a point that directly ||calls you to be the Warrior of Darkness in story?||

Because I'm thinking that'd be a cool moment to dramatically swap to DRK.

[granite swan]

most of references that

[polar hound]

I don't believe so no. Like the Warrior of Light, it's mostly just a title/idea.

[granite swan]

since calling you otherwise, would kinda trigger people lol

[lavish vortex]

hi!, do i need to fully complete an Eureka relic weapon to access Baldesion Arsenal?

[obsidian patio]

No

But you do need to have done all the quests in Eureka

[lavish vortex]

Krile quests right?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[lavish vortex]

and they are unrelated to the weapon itself? like, i can progress to the end leavinmg the weapon as it is now? (i just finished pyros story quests)

[polar hound]

yea

[lavish vortex]

awesome, thanks!

[vital ruin]

50 bucks for a soundtrack

for caster, whats equals arms length skill?

[dark plaza]

ok thanks

[polar hound]

np, alternatively you can just run to the opposite side of the spout(north or south on the barge). those spouts only spawn on either side, you'll only have surecast for 1, maybe two flops

[unborn bay]

Do you guys have any recommendation on what is good to buy with GC seals?

Other than glamour prism and gathering / crafting boosts

[regal geyser]

so im lvl 60 on the current free trial, would, what would i need to buy to play SB and ShB?

[warped nest]

Retainer Venture

[unborn bay]

the complete edition has all 4 @regal geyser

https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/564956/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download

[warped nest]

@regal geyser
Starter Edition: compulsory for any subscription account, registering this will give you 30 days subs
Shadowbringers: contains Stormblood, covers lvl 60-80 contents, require Starter Edition

Complete Edition, as Joker have linked, includes both Starter and Shadowbringers

[regal geyser]

okayy ty does complete come with sub?

[warped nest]

Yes, because Starter is included

[unborn bay]

it's what it says if new account tho

I don't know if an account with free trial is considered a new account

[warped nest]

It is

[unborn bay]

oh ok

[regal geyser]

so i would keep my char yes?

[unborn bay]

yes

[vital ruin]

Can I buy mounts in the mb

[warped nest]

Yup

[regal geyser]

okay thanks eveyrone

[unborn bay]

np bro

welcome

[remote lintel]

some mounts

[warped nest]

Some mounts can be traded on Marketboard

[vital ruin]

I can't find any

[warped nest]

But most can't be

[remote lintel]

they're misc iirc

[vital ruin]

What do I search

o

[polar hound]

search "Horn" for some.. "Whistle" for others..there's a few under misc

[vital ruin]

I ended up buying a tidal barding
The mounts are expensive

[proud willow]

@regal geyser Just in case it's relevant, going from PC trial to PC full version will let you keep your character. But if you're currently on the Steam free trial and you buy the game on PC, you would need to make a new account and lose your character

[vital ruin]

Now I just need to color my chocobo blue
What items do I need for blue chocobo dye

[regal geyser]

thanks for the heads up! that woulda been bad

[manic tinsel]

is there a lvl 50 main weap similar to the lvl50 attire set you get from job quest?

[polar hound]

https://ffxivchocobo.com/en @vital ruin

[vital ruin]

Ty

Do I buy the seeds from mb

[polar hound]

cant guarantee it'll come out as you want personally, i went for black but got purple, not that i complained lol.

[vital ruin]

And how do I feed them

Oof

[proud willow]

You don't automatically acquire the level 50 weapon; it's part of the Relic Weapon quest

if you just hit 50, it would be much much faster and easier to get the Augmented Ironworks weapon instead of the relic

much

[polar hound]

any stable you can put them in can feed them also.

[manic tinsel]

okay thanks i need to search for the augmented ironworks, does that open to a specific msq?

[vital ruin]

Where are the stables I forgot

[faint flare]

Housing

Apartments, fc house

[vital ruin]

o okay

[proud willow]

Once you start doing level 50 content, you'll start earning a new currency called Tomestones of Poetics. There is a shop in Mor Dhona where you buy ironworks gear with that currency

[vital ruin]

And seeds I buy from mb?

[manic tinsel]

i see, i'm far from that i have a huge gap between my lvl and msq

[proud willow]

Aelina and Auriana are the names of the vendors

ahh, I see

In that case, I'd say don't worry about getting a new weapon for now

it won't benefit you until you're actually doing level 50 content

[polar hound]

you can buy them from the mb sure but gamerscape can tell you how to get each specifically that you're after also. (https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Xelphatol_Apple_Seeds)

Unless you have a house with a garden, you'll need to buy the fruit instead of growing them from seeds

[sturdy anvil]

im currently trying to level a 2nd class but xp is hard to come by outside of DRs. i am currently level 60 but the lvl 59/60 dungeons don't even award completion xp bonuses any more, what are my options?

[proud willow]

Heaven-on-High is an option once you hit 61

and the 59 dungeon should still give plenty of XP

You don't wanna run 60 dungeons for XP, they give very little

[sturdy anvil]

the xp from the 59 dungeon is mainly from killing the mobs/bosses, but there is no completion xp

[warped nest]

Please don't grind roulette

[vital ruin]

In fc it says "you have yet to be trained in chocobo raising" what does it mean

[warped nest]

Roulette are good for daily bonus. Afterward, queue directly for lvl 59 dungeon and get exp from killing enemies

You are missing a side quest

[proud willow]

Right, if you are looking for a huge completion bonus at the end, that only comes from the roulette daily bonus

doesnt look like anyone is doing it

sorry 42m now 😦

[regal geyser]

hmm the square enix store wont let me check outwhen i try to use paypal, it just sits their after i press review order

[sand stratus]

it can just take a while

the stormblood raids are in alliance roulette though, so it will pop eventually

actually wait

When going to the airship landing in gridania, is it possible to get into the "arrival" area? that little part where you would land right when you get off the ship?

[unreal sierra]

24 man

[sand stratus]

ah okay

[silent zodiac]

I accidentally didn't grab my next MSQ and I think i'm trapped out of it now

[sand stratus]

yeah it'll pop eventually

yeah there's a downstairs portion of that area with miounne and the smith

the canopy

I think that's what it's called

hey wondering what I should know before choosing to become a paladin?

absolute noob here

[faint flare]

Keep iron will on 24/7. Aoe trash, use defensive cooldowns

Well done you're better than 80% of tanks

[leaden ginkgo]

can I play competitively with an xbox controller?

on pc

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

noice

[late echo]

weird question but does anyone have any recommended Keybinds for people with small hands? I'm new to MMO's so I wanna learn how to use them instead of clicking my skills.

[faint flare]

Controller is very very very well supported

And is preferred by a good amount of high end people

[unreal sierra]

is it possible to cancel a retainer venture? like if I want to give them gear, but can't because they are occupied?

[remote lintel]

but DONT keep iron will on at the start of the fight if youre the off tank

[leaden ginkgo]

do I have to worry about buffing team though? I heard there's like a shield spell or something?

[faint flare]

Divine veip

[late echo]

Hmm

[faint flare]

Thats planned around

[remote lintel]

@unreal sierra cancel it from the venture menu thing

[faint flare]

Or just throw out for aoes

[unreal sierra]

ohhhh it is under view venture report (complete) that is not intuitive.

[faint flare]

You have some tools to mitigate party damage which you should think about using

To reduce healer strain

[leaden ginkgo]

anything I should know at start of game to make it less cancerous to get through certain difficult areas for noobs?

[faint flare]

No. Story will guide you

Nothing is challenging at the start and the game eases you into it

And gradually gives you skills one by one

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a controller tutorial like how to cycle and shit?

[remote lintel]

cycle through your defensive skills even on trash mobs

[leaden ginkgo]

nice, thx everyone

[faint flare]

Its somewhere

[craggy drift]

Awesome. Can I still access the firmament after it is over?

[remote lintel]

most important things are cycle your defensives, make sure you have tank stance on all the time unless youre off tank, make sure the boss is facing away from the group

[faint flare]

Yes

Ishgard restoration is permanent

[craggy drift]

Ahhh I see. Thanks

[faint flare]

The only thing that ends is Leaderboard stuff and the fates with the area changing looks

[leaden ginkgo]

@remote lintel any videos for absolute noobs which are essential for becoming a good tank?

[leaden ginkgo]

noice, would you say it's possible to chillout playing the game while being a tank or is it more stressful during raids?

being healer seems like the more chillout choice tbh

[remote lintel]

are you talking about endgame stuff?

[warped nest]

In raid, none of them are chill

[leaden ginkgo]

just in general

[remote lintel]

because there are casual raids and endgame raids

all roles are chill in casual raids

for endgame raids it depends on the fight

[warped nest]

Ehhhh

[leaden ginkgo]

is it like wow where you only get good gear in raids?

[warped nest]

It depends on what you define as chill

[remote lintel]

casual raids are ez

thats chill

[warped nest]

No

[faint flare]

The highest tier gear is from high end raids but the normal modes and 24mans is enough for non raiders

[warped nest]

You can do duties and earn Tomestone to purchase gears

The best gear build for each jobs are a mix of gears purchased weekly capped tomestone and gears dropped from the current savage raid

For casual stuff just grinding tomestone and doing normal/Alliance raid will do

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, so for a beginner you recommend I aim to get as powerful as fast as possible or can I kinda take it easy?

[remote lintel]

if you want to do savage raids then you should work on your bis

[warped nest]

Just play and enjoy the story

[remote lintel]

at 80

i mean

[warped nest]

There is always a new endgame to chase after

[leaden ginkgo]

I see so before I hit 60 it's more relaxed then?

[warped nest]

Before 80

[remote lintel]

anything below 80 is relaxed tbh

[warped nest]

Think of this as a single player RPG first

With very real "NPC", some of which are morons, most should be friendly

[pine phoenix]

Is there any setting that can help with the FPS plummeting everytime an explosion happens on screen or is that just how the game is

[warped nest]

One explosion

Or twenty?

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thx everyone about to play for first time

[remote lintel]

i get frame drops when theres a huge explosion

like from the boss

as a mechanic

[pine phoenix]

Usually a few, it's more noticeable in cutscenes that are more large scale/action but it happens in fights too

[remote lintel]

turn down the effects prob

[pine phoenix]

I have myself set to normal and everyone else set to simple I think

[remote lintel]

like the graphics

[gusty storm]

I’ve learned that mages are not it for me, how is Samurai to get into

[faint flare]

Low skill floor, high skill ceiling

Rotate though combos > gather stickers > spend stickers

Rinse repeat

[slate crow]

Are role quests on the map?

[manic tinsel]

how about being dark knight? is it for someone who is lazy

[faint flare]

No

It weaves often

Role quests are normal blue + quests on the map @slate crow

[slate crow]

Huh. Can’t find any.

Role Quests FAQ

What are Role Quests?

Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.

At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.

I can't find where I left off!

No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

[faint flare]

You need to finish the first Shadowbringers dungeon then They appear

And you're told about them then

[opaque brook]

what setting did i eff up to make me locked onto enemies like this, only allowing me to revolve around them 😭

[manic tinsel]

i think go to character config then target then uncheck automatically lock on target

[sweet leaf]

uhhhhhhhh

i misclicked

how do i buy back an item i sold from my retainer's inventory?

oh nvm, i see the item buyback

[opaque brook]

that fixed it ty<3<3<3

[slate crow]

Ah. Gotcha.

[sharp meteor]

what do i do with the fish from ocean fishing? desynth them?

[faint flare]

Desynth for bait back or trash them

They're basically useless

[sharp meteor]

inventory management

[granite swan]

the worst part of FFXIV :p

[sturdy mason]

For PLD, is Goring Blade a replacement for Rage of Halone?

[late echo]

Not fully leveled yet but until you get your upgraded RoH yes

[sturdy mason]

I'm level 54 and just acquired it

[sharp meteor]

i would pay for 10x additional retainers if they just made inventory system work better

[late echo]

Yeah just use Goring Blade

At level 60 I think Rage of Halone becomes a different skill but until then just use Goring Blade in your combo

[untold sand]

is more than 1 character needed?

i think i prefer entry

cuz dont wanna replay story too much

[sweet leaf]

Can i ask if there are any useless abilities i should toss off of my hotbar for gunbreaker? i'm just sorting them all out and i see a lot of similar defensive buffs

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello, I just finished the quest "Shadowbringers" and the game tells me I have unlocked job related quests, where can I pick them up?

[late echo]

Have barely played GNB but personally you want to keep those skills in your Hotbar or at least have easy access

[leaden ginkgo]

@untold sand one character is enough, entry subscription is all you really need

[late echo]

most jobs don't remove stuff from their Hotbar unless there's a really good reason too

[sweet leaf]

ok, i am just very new to this game so i don't know what those might be, and i like to avoid clutter

[leaden ginkgo]

hey can one switch servers at any point or am I stuck with the server I choose from beginning?

[late echo]

I'm new as well but there's plenty of guides on YT that will help you understand the basics of a job and what skills are important and what not

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo if you mean the lvl 80 quests that give you job titles it varies depending on the job

@leaden ginkgo you can visit any world on your data center with few restrictions

[vestal needle]

Is there a kimono outfit in this game thats not in the mogstation?

[sweet leaf]

if i could find a video like that where i can actually hear what someone is saying behind a thick accent, i would love it

[remote lintel]

transferring costs 18 usd

[serene bison]

Should I get some equip at level 60?

[late echo]

Hmm

[serene bison]

I have capped amount of poetics

and don't even know what to do with it

[remote lintel]

shire gear

[leaden ginkgo]

@remote lintel so say I wanted to switch to gilgamesh from another server I could?

it's any world in aether?

[remote lintel]

youre visiting

you cant sell on the mb there or use retainers

or join fcs there

[late echo]

If I could make a suggestion. Try out the Job Guides by WeskAlber on YT. They're more aimed at beginners and he does a really good job of explaining what skills do individually.

[leaden ginkgo]

what's the best one on aether?

[serene bison]

I'm level 56

[remote lintel]

all of them

[serene bison]

Shire gear?

where's that?

[remote lintel]

when you get to idyllshire

[late echo]

Idlyshire

[remote lintel]

in like 1 level

[serene bison]

idlyshire

never been there I think xD

[late echo]

you get to Idyllshire in the MSQ

[remote lintel]

because you havent unlocked it

hence why i said in 1 level

at like 57

[serene bison]

so just save the poetics?

[remote lintel]

sure

[serene bison]

unless there's a way to increase cap

[late echo]

well if you're about to be capped anyway

[serene bison]

from 2k

[remote lintel]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[late echo]

you can get some stuff for the Relic Weapons if ever

[sweet leaf]

weskalber has just 1 video on gunbreaker and it's for levelling

[late echo]

he explains all the skills in-depth in that

I'd reccomend

[sweet leaf]

omg does he have a lisp lol

[pine phoenix]

Is there way I can simulate having 8 people in a party while I'm making my UI?

[remote lintel]

not really

[pine phoenix]

I'm trying to tweak my UI but I legit don't know I'm supposed to do this without hopping into an 8 person party and AFKing

[remote lintel]

it shows the party list area in your hud layout

[pine phoenix]

Erm it's not quite the same as seeing, guess I'll just do my best and hop into a roulette and readjust

[pure atlas]

guys my pc crashed and my account was blocked temporarily until i changed my password because i was in game when it happened, anything i can do to not let it happen again?

[slate crow]

How many role quests are there per role? Or is each different in number?

[tulip plover]

How long does it take to get to the final stage of a relic weapon

[twilit arch]

there's 6 quests per role quest chain @slate crow

depends on the relic, and depends on how much you're willing to grind

Anima doesn't take that long for the most part, since its largely just a poetic grind

[sweet leaf]

where is the inn in limsa?

[twilit arch]

Yes, in upper decks

[sweet leaf]

it seems wesk's video is outdated? he mentions a skill called cartridge charge, but i don't see that in my actions

oh nvm it's a trait

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any way to remove the earrings on my guy? I don't remember putting them on in char creation?

[analog gate]

it's an equipment, you can remove it in your gear window
but they give stats so probably don't

[noble current]

looking at HoH, when does the aetherpool gear gets downsynched? i am doing 21-30 and my aetherpool looks like this and it still doesnt get downscaled, not even at floor 21, what is the formula for downscaling in HoH? (i think in Potd its Floor + 10 = cap)

[polar hound]

it doesn't downscale inside, just caps.

not even in potd. ive been at 99/99 for..ever and farmed my fair share of exp there.

eventually you wont get upgrades from chests and such but you will still get them from boss kills

[noble current]

yes but its gets the yellow color

like gear in synched dungeon way below your ilevel

[polar hound]

oh okay

if your aetherpool gear exceeds the maximum allowed by your current level

[noble current]

yeah i am curious what it is for HoH

[gilded forge]

Where is the NPC for the level 35 monk quest?

[polar hound]

hmm, sorry but not sure offhand on that one never thought about it twice

[gilded forge]

nvm

[polar hound]

I was gonna say Ul'dah

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Monk_Quest

[gilded forge]

Yeye, he was in the goldsmith guild for some reason

[polar hound]

silly monks.

[gilded forge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[spare plinth]

Does Ishgard restoration require a special rotation and how come?

[polar hound]

there's a couple restoration guides pinned in #doh-dol-lounge, I'm not sure exactly if it does or does not but im sure you could compare with the rotations there for either leveling or expert recipes

[tidal osprey]

best tank for dungeons/aoe ?

drk or war?

[polar hound]

idk what you mean by best but both are great for their own reasons

nascent is stupid powerful for its duration and can keep you healed for a chunk of an aoe pull, drk has abyssal drain and TBN/plenty of survive as well, TBN being arguably one of the best tank cooldowns for its cost

[tidal osprey]

which does more aoe damage?

tbn or nascent for incoming damage from a lot of mobs

[little swift]

they do the same amount of damage more or less?

[polar hound]

yeahh its hard to gauge because of durations and such.

[little swift]

and both of those defensives are good

[polar hound]

a TBN+a divine benison is stupid thicc

[little swift]

tbn pop gives you an extra flood/edge

nascent flash means the healer can ignore you for like 8 seconds

they're both good

[leaden ginkgo]

for HoH I'm pretty sure aetherpool syncs at 8+2F where F is floor number

Hello everyone Im at level 10 n was was wondering about the classes of hands (gathering, leather working etc): can I only join one or am I able to join all of them at level 10?

[twilit arch]

you can do all jobs on one character

may not be able to unlock them all at lvl 10 exactly since they require to you to go to the appropriate city, and you need airship access to get to/from limsa which is lvl 15 in the main scenario quest

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah okay thank you!! (I am most looking forward to the cooking one in limsa but I started in gardinia haha)

[open rivet]

it's really weird that you can just walk from Gridania to Ul'dah, but Limsa is completely blocked off

[twilit arch]

not really, limsa is an island

[brave ravine]

the ship option comes eventually

[narrow arch]

What’s the cool song that plays at a lot of dungeons during the final boss with the chimes and choir?

[remote lintel]

which expansion

[narrow arch]

Just finished the burn and I heard it there

I’ve heard it a lot of times before that though

[remote lintel]

triumph?

[twilit arch]

that'd be triumph

[narrow arch]

That’s it thanks

God that song is hype af

[remote lintel]

it has the garlemald/ala mhigo theme in it

[twilit arch]

ala mhigo

"measure of our reach" is not the garlean theme, its garlmald taking ala mhigo's theme and twisting it

[remote lintel]

territorial anthem

[brave ravine]

watching vids of a lot of people's ui on youtube, and so many have all their buttons take up at most like 5% of the screen real estate. Is there some sort of trick people are using to not need to look at their abillities?

[obsidian patio]

Muscle memory for the most part

[leaden ginkgo]

Square Enix is selling full edition for $60usd on the us store but on the au store its $60aud? Do they not market it up for aus dollar?

[exotic ridge]

When do I get rid of the little sprout against my name? been playing more than a month..

[twilit arch]

you need 168hrs played plus completion of the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes"

[exotic ridge]

how do I check hours?

[analog gate]

type /playtime in chat

[exotic ridge]

Total Play Time: 10 days, 4 hours, 28 minutes

[twilit arch]

If you've been playing for a month, you've got the play time

the issue is more than likely the MSQ

[analog gate]

if you want you can manually turn the sprout off in search info

[exotic ridge]

ok think im doing about lvl67 quest atm

just checked still another prob 50 quests of A Requiem for Heroes

[soft flicker]

i couldve sworn there was a way to see like, who did the most useful things in the free company or something, am i crazy?

like a point system

[polar hound]

no, just recent stuff under activity

[warped nest]

@soft flicker were you thinking the score board in PvP?

[soft flicker]

nah, must be in another gamde or something

[plain python]

anything for BLM to use Swiftcast for in lv40-50?

[warped nest]

If you are forced to move, you can swiftcast any of the spells you would have been casting

[soft flicker]

so ready to be done with heavensward, i enjoyed it but holy moly it ferels like its taking forever

just getting to the end-ish i think

[plain python]

I'm still stuck pre-Leviathan

[soft flicker]

damn

[plain python]

got sidetracked cuz my gil limit comes up, so I jump to other jobs and craft to max them. Kinda like a self-imposed economic management, lol

[soft flicker]

i juts rememberd the end of heavensward isnt the end of whta im doing, i have to do the post-game too T_T

[brave ravine]

typically every major patch that adds post-expansion content comes every 4 months?

[soft flicker]

yeah, i just forgot im gonna have to do that after i finish this main stuff in heavenswars

heavensward* so im not even close to stormblood =[

[warped nest]

@brave ravine 3-4 months yes

[soft flicker]

is shadowlands fully complete now?

ntil new expac?

err shadowbringers

[warped nest]

Story wise yes

[soft flicker]

gotcha

im really excited to get there

[warped nest]

Shadowbringers story is essentially wrapped up in 5.3

5.4 will be the prologue for 6.0, MSQ wise

[soft flicker]

gotcha

shadowbringers seems like the coolest expansion to me from the outside

really excited to finally get there

if i ever make it lol

[warped nest]

Take note that what's wrapped up is msq side

On the content side, we still have 1 more Eden raid and 1 more Nier Raid to go

[soft flicker]

cool cool

[lusty plover]

Dude, why do loot drops suck so bad

[warped nest]

Which content?

[zinc orbit]

[soft flicker]

so to get good gear in this game, is it kinda easy? it doesnt seem like in wow where you basically need a guild and to progress, my friends are SUPER casual and just que up for raids with pugs and have quite a high ilvl

[lusty plover]

I just did Qarn dungeon, and it’s all just disciple of magic items

Besides XP, are dungeons even worth it?

[small pier]

they give a lot more gil than random quests

[warped nest]

@soft flicker you can pug everything

[soft flicker]

i see i see...

im not sure if i like that or not

[warped nest]

Aside from Ultimate.. You can do it, it is just not gonna be fruitful

I just did Qarn dungeon, and it’s all just disciple of magic items
@lusty plover just bad RNG unfortunately

[lusty plover]

I guess that’s just MMOs for you Lmao

[twilit arch]

you're assured atleast one piece of loot from leveling dungeons at the end of the dungeon

[formal condor]

Is there any website have all game 2D background or icon image URL for ffxiv gaming toolbox

[soft flicker]

without trying to sound like shitty or anything, if everything is puggable in this game doesn't that make the endgame easier in this? i only ask because ive been hearing a lot of people boasting about how much harder raiding and stuff is in this than wow

[jade quartz]

Pugging with 8 people is easier to manage than pugging with WoW raid sizes

That’s a big factor.

[soft flicker]

yeah thats fair

[jade quartz]

Wouldn’t necessarily say this game is harder than like

[green grail]

i woouldn't say ultimates are puggable, maybe on JP servers with fluent JP while already knowing the fight, and each ultimate can take 2-4 months to prog for an ok player

[jade quartz]

WoW mythic or whatever

[soft flicker]

my friend is like, 5 or so ilvls off the max or so he says, and i cant imagine him getting anywhere near that in WoW haha (we both play wow and final fantasy, im just getting into FF)

[jade quartz]

Ultimate, the top content, isn’t needed for max ilvl

[soft flicker]

gotcha

[manic tinsel]

Just finished the base game, it's so cool. What do i do with the allagan tomes?

[jade quartz]

Anyway it’s a different kind of difficulty, hard content here is really elaborate positioning and movement dances

[soft flicker]

i feel like i like evrything in final fantasy more except maybe the end game (from what i hear)

im loving all of the little non end gmae stuff right now

and yeah i was thinking that from raids that ive seen/been in

it seems more about dodging stuff than WoWs like, non-combat related mechanics

[jade quartz]

Plus adapting more complex rotations to those dances

[soft flicker]

im assuming theres no like, high-end dungeons that people farm?

since gear doesnt really seem to work like that in this game

something like mythic+ if you know what that is

[agile laurel]

dungeons aren't high end content

savage raids are the highest level of gear progression

ultimate raids are just progression for pure clout

[soft flicker]

gotcha, yeah i just love dungeons in msot games more than raids

was hoping there was an end game dungeon type system in this too

oh well

[leaden ginkgo]

are high end duties static?

or do they rotate in a specific basis?

[jade quartz]

High end duties are the current content

[leaden ginkgo]

a friend and I just finished the Shadowgringers quest (5.0) and we want to engage in some raid or side trial

[jade quartz]

Latest raid tier, ultimate, extreme trials

[manic tinsel]

after defeating the ultimate weapos is it heavensward next?

[jade quartz]

80 post-ARR patch quests and then HW

[twilit arch]

no, you've got the post ARR msq to go thru before you get to heavensward

[manic tinsel]

oh sad no drk yet 😦

[leaden ginkgo]

so, let's say I want to run an old raid from HW, for example, is it still possible_

?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[jovial kayak]

hey, saw a dude wearing this headpiece a bit ago, does anyone know what it is? i took a screencap to show my fc cause he had a funny name but, foolishly, i forgot to actually check what he was wearing on his head

[jade quartz]

People often run old savage or ex content unsynced to farm mount or glamour gear drops

[leaden ginkgo]

but based on what you said, those raids aren't visible in the "high end duties" tab

[jovial kayak]

and now someone in my FC wants to know and I have no clue

[jade quartz]

No they’re moved to regular duties

After they’re no longer current

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a benefit in running old savage or ex content synced?

[jade quartz]

Just for fun really

[jovial kayak]

Ah nevermind figured it out

It's the Skallic fending headpiece if anyone else wants to know

[leaden ginkgo]

what are the other bis food aside from stuffed highland and herring pie?

[vestal needle]

About to hit lv80 fisher without being in SHB. Is there any gear i can work towards?

or buy in the market

[leaden ginkgo]

scrip gear if you have excess scrips and no money but the best set for gatherer is hq aesthete

[analog gate]

i know some tanks and melees use sausage and kraut

[graceful maple]

Hey can I ask support related question in here?

[leaden ginkgo]

yes and also in #healer-lounge

[graceful maple]

Ah I don't have access to this other channel

[leaden ginkgo]

unless by support you mean customer support then idk

[graceful maple]

It's just that I'm encountering an issue while trying to create an account for the free trial

[bleak apex]

hi all i'm at lvl 55 but i'm about to hit the poetics cap

should i buy the rest of the lvl 50 armor or do i just hold the 2k for the level 60?

[brave ravine]

you're at the level where the lev 50 poetics armor are no longer an upgrade

you could buy poetic gear for alts though

[bleak apex]

gotcha, ty

[novel parcel]

Since Bozja event will be up in like 3~ weeks, what's the best way to prepare for it? (Like diadem was getting and melding aesthete gear to the max) I've never done it before so some tips or link to guide would be great : D

[obsidian patio]

No idea

Lemme double-check to see if Bozja uses a specific ilvl sync

[narrow vale]

Can you guys tell me what theme that play when you talk to ||Ardbert|| in the room in ShB? I don't want to search up and see spoilers

[obsidian patio]

@novel parcel no real info/strategy on how to prepare for it.

[novel parcel]

Ah oki ty anyway tho

[obsidian patio]

But if it uses a specific item level sync then for min-maxing purposes you want to use gear at that exact ilvl to benefit from melds

[leaden ginkgo]

do I need to complete old hunts in order to participate in Nutsy Clan Hunts?

or can I unlock those right away?

[obsidian patio]

Yes you need to unlock the previous hunts

[novel parcel]

I heard it'll most likely sync us to 500 and I don't have gear over that so I guess I should be fine

[obsidian patio]

@narrow vale quest name?

[analog folio]

Hey! Just got RDM, I have all Augmented Ironworks of Healing accessories. Are these enough to do the numbers roulettes, or should I grind up poetics for Casting before going into any dungeons?

[obsidian patio]

Healing accessories are useless for RDM

You’re getting mind which does nothing for you, along with potentially Piety which also does nothing.

[analog folio]

A shame (on the needing more tomestones before I can really do anything) but understandable

[graceful maple]

Would anyone be able to help me or is this not the right channel?

[obsidian patio]

I’m not too knowledgeable on account creation, as I had a friend help me.

[graceful maple]

Would anyone that isn't here atm would be able to help me later then?

[narrow vale]

Actually I found the track thanks anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

can a friend and I share the same hunts if we're on different grand companies?

[narrow vale]

When do they usually release OST for expansion on Spotify? I really want to listen to ShB OST

[obsidian patio]

@leaden ginkgo AFAIK hunts are player-specific, GC shouldn’t matter

Even if they “look” different when you go to other GC’s

@narrow vale pretty much unknown, they only recently dumped a bunch of the old albums onto Spotify

[graceful maple]

I keep getting the i2501 error after entering the confirmation code they sent me via email @leaden ginkgo

[old hollow]

Hello, I heard Monk was getting a rework next patch. Do we know when the next patch is supposed to be? Thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

do you happen to be in SEA?

[graceful maple]

Nope, I'm EU

[obsidian patio]

5.4, assuming no delays, is probably about 2 months away.

[leaden ginkgo]

ah, seems to happen to eu people too. apparently its isp related. the workaround is by making your account and confirming everything through phone data

it happened to me as well

[obsidian patio]

If you have a VPN active that trips the error too

[old hollow]

is MNK really as bad as people say it is

[graceful maple]

When doing that you still have to go through to the desktop website and then I get the error "This account cannot be used for the free trial blabla"

[obsidian patio]

Not bad in damage, more in class design

It’s a jumbled set of stuff that don’t go well together

[graceful maple]

And I'm not using any vpn

[obsidian patio]

If you can get good with Monk it won’t hold you down

[old hollow]

I finally hit 50 on it and so far it's fun, but reading up on it I see that it doesn't go anywhere past that.

[leaden ginkgo]

i remember there was a very specific download link that i used back then for the client, got the cannot be used for the free trial thing too

[obsidian patio]

Yeah it basically caps out at 50 in terms of your GCD rotation

[leaden ginkgo]

idk if they changed it up with the free trial to 60 tho :(

[graceful maple]

And I'm not gonna lie I had to create like 4 different gmail account just to test different log in method but still it's annoying cause I wanna use my main email for this, I even tried to do it via the steam launcher which resulted in the same thing

And I've also contacted the support but it's been like 15 hours now so unsure I'm gonna receive anything

[old hollow]

Maybe it's time to try out SAM. Kinda sucks though, it was a slog levelling it. Hopefully it's great next rework. Such a fun class just punching things to death

[leaden ginkgo]

use a fresh email and try doing it via phone+data

its the onyl way that qorked for me

[graceful maple]

I did that already

[graceful maple]

[hollow mango]

[graceful maple]

That's why I'm asking

[leaden ginkgo]

[glossy flare]

No, that is for registering game codes

which you do not have since you're free trial

[graceful maple]

So where do I go from there?

[hollow mango]

download the client?

[leaden ginkgo]

[graceful maple]

And where would that be?

[glossy flare]

Yeah all you need now is the client and you are good to go

[leaden ginkgo]

freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com

[obsidian patio]

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details

[obsidian patio]

For a direct link

[hollow mango]

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[obsidian patio]

That’s for the full game

[leaden ginkgo]

[hollow mango]

oww

[glossy flare]

the free trial client and the actual client are different

welcome to square

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

that fkd me up too

[graceful maple]

Uh the link you sent me just send me back to the thing where I get the error but I guess I'm still gonna try

[hollow mango]

cause im sure if u sign up here there should be a dl at the end

[leaden ginkgo]

yes that one

[hollow mango]

no dont@graceful maple

just go find the free trial client

im on ps4 i cant help now avavava

[graceful maple]

So the direct link that Wynne gave me?

[leaden ginkgo]

yup

[glossy flare]

Yes, use that one

[hollow mango]

so can anybody help me with this avavava ^

[leaden ginkgo]

insta download the setup

[brave ravine]

oof, doing the ARR relic weapon chain. you're in for a world of pain

[hollow mango]

[glossy flare]

what exactly do you need help with?

[leaden ginkgo]

i havent done that yet sorry cant help

[hollow mango]

ahmm i dont understand the quest

like what he said for the relic stuff

oof, doing the ARR relic weapon chain. you're in for a world of pain
@brave ravine why

[glossy flare]

ah

champion's lance is a crafted item

but you can also buy it on the board

[leaden ginkgo]

bye gil

[glossy flare]

then you have to slot 3 of the materia he tells you in there

[hollow mango]

Free Trial avavava

[glossy flare]

well in that case you either have to craft it yourself or find someone willing to do it for you

[brave ravine]

@hollow mango beat ARR, then heavensward, then stormblood, then shadowbringers first. it'll make doing the epic weapon chains ez. plus the stormblood epic weapons look way better

[hollow mango]

ahmmm

[sharp spire]

is there a way to make chocobo run faster

[hollow mango]

Gae Bolg i like

[glossy flare]

Just for the record though, this relic questline is a major timesink and offers no actually usable weapon in terms of stats since it is old content

The only reason to do them is for the style I suppose

[leaden ginkgo]

riding map + finishing msq, but honestly once u unlcok flying thats all you need

[graceful maple]

So I should chose this then?

[hollow mango]

@glossy flare hmmmm yes i liked how it looks

[leaden ginkgo]

ye try the account u made before

hope it works

[glossy flare]

Yeah, your mogstation account should do it

[hollow mango]

i guess ill comeback to it later

thankss

[leaden ginkgo]

ngl hw and sb relics look way better than arr

[graceful maple]

What's this?

[glossy flare]

ignore it

[leaden ginkgo]

ignore

[glossy flare]

it's optional and unless you set one you just leave it blank

[leaden ginkgo]

extra security

[brave ravine]

that option is a trap dont do it

[glossy flare]

I mean, it is pretty substantial extra account security if you want that...

[graceful maple]

[hollow mango]

@leaden ginkgo i. dont wanaa spoil. myself. saying ah that looks good

[glossy flare]

Did you ever play this game before with this SE account?

[hollow mango]

so i wont skip gae bolgg. huhu

[graceful maple]

I created the account yesterday

[glossy flare]

where?

[leaden ginkgo]

gae bolgg is one of the better ones tbf

the rest are kinda meh

[graceful maple]

Like

[hollow mango]

@leaden ginkgo yes sorry thats what i meant

[glossy flare]

Where did you create the account?

[graceful maple]

Via the official freetrial thing

[hollow mango]

i like the way it looks

[leaden ginkgo]

@graceful maple free trial acc?

[graceful maple]

Yeah

The link you sent

[hollow mango]

@graceful maple there should be a download for the free trial there after signing up

[glossy flare]

okay, that is weird 🤔

Oh, I assume the latest screens were from the launcher, right?

[graceful maple]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

why SE making it hard for new players, this is starting to be a common problem for sea and eu ppl

[hollow mango]

the free trial should look like the ARRand has a free trial underneath

[graceful maple]

Like it's not really making want to pay for the game ngl
Don't wanna encounter any issues with my debit card

[hollow mango]

@leaden ginkgo also had a problem with signing in to square website i thought the free trial sign up account can be logged into the website

hmmmmmm

[graceful maple]

And this was like 15h ago and I still haven't received anything

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah same had to use phone data since my isp wont let me signup

[glossy flare]
