you can Favorite only so many, Iβm 90% on that but canβt log in right now to verify
by my knowing aslong as u have space in hotbarrs that you use
is Ocean fishing worth it at low lvl? Just unlocked it and not sure if I should be trying it when I'm barely lvl 10 fisher
Oh you can fill as much of the hotbar with mounts as you want, I assumed they meant the Favorite feature
Itβs good for leveling
but fishing levels stupid fast anyway
Yes there is a limit to how many you can favourite
Its a single page worth
@plain python
err what's the point of ocean fishing? o.o
is there any trained eye version of dol?
i have lv 80 botanist but since i level'd it with diadem and gc supplying daily idk how to gather highest collectability for deliveries now π€¦ββοΈ
and now I need yellow scrips to gear my retainer
Appraise a gathering node for collectables.
Increases item rarity by perception x0.9.
Increases item wear by 10.
Additional Effect: 30% - 100% chance Discerning Eye activates
Percentage determined by your perception rating.
Uses one gathering attempt.
That one

Anyone have any MSQ gearing advice? Trying to do the main scenario quests for 5.3, have no interest in raiding, etc, as I hate group content. I'm currently 443 gear level but need 460 to do a dungeon. The only gear I can find on the marketboard is 480 which costs like 70,000 to 150,000 gil per item, meaning buying enough pieces to continue the storyline would cost me 600,000 to a million gil which I have nowhere near.
run the previous accesible dungeon for gear
Buy Poetics gear from Rhalgar's Reach
Let the grinding begin, lol.
isn't high 440-460 eulmore tomes
isnt 4.3 before ShB?
Yes
Sorry meant 5.3
then it cant be 460 pretty sure
Oh
yeah just run the last highest dungeon for gear
weird, they should've given you enough gear to progress msq π€
!reset
MQS quests don't give gear, just food or potions or those things you sell for gil.
well the msq also includes group content like dungeon clear, you can't avoid that
oh sry
last free gear you get is the weathered AF so the rest after that is tomes dungeons and raids
oh really? dam
when i did my sb msq, i just relied on poetic gears and replaced some of them with the gears i got from dungeon required to progress MSQ
AF isn't enough to finish the 5.x patches
Every patch for year now I stop playing for months before returning when I feel like grinding for a few days just to be able to finish the storyline, and every time I hope Square Enix would add a 'I just want to see the storyline" difficulty with lower gear requirements, but they never do, lol.
Its really not that hard to gear up
Hard no, frustrating yes.
ah yeah phantasmgoria gives like 460 i think? π€
and it took me a long time to finish the msq, lol but i did my DR daily
so i had overlimit phantasm and had to spend it
You can get enough ilevel for the MSQ just by doing MSQ...
Not for the 5.x patches...
You can.
yeah I think AF is good enough for the final story dungeon then you need to start using Hunts and tomes right
Doing the dungeons.
for post patch stuff
The Dungeons don't always give you gear
@open coral yes up to a point, then you're gonna have to stop and probably farm some poetics unless you wanna be stuck with vendor gear
5.X patch dungeons give out gear that will give you enough ilevel to get into the next.
or spamming dungeons over and over
Either way, back to 5.2 dungeons to get gear for the 5.3 storyline for me :-)
You don't always get gear drops though
i was a masochist and leveled up all my other classes with trusts and geared up with dungeons drops from the endless amounts of runs
I mean, yeah, you might have to run the dungeons a bunch of times to get the gear, but that's more or less expected. And you'd be getting phanta and allegory while you did it.
you're gonna need atleast ilv 460 for the latest dungeon in the msq
Its almost like thats the entire point of the conversation
They don't want to run the dungeons multiple times
Ah
Heh it is, I'm frustrated that I have to grind dungeons just to see the story.
I missed that bit
You're just going to have to do it
Still, could be worse.
@leaden ginkgo do your daily roulettes
Hmm, in that case... you could always buy Neo-Ish gear?
Or wait until 6.0 and buy gear with poetics
Was that suggested?
waitttt
they said raiding and group content, so i thought ShB dungeons could count as solo content sicne trusts
Yeah
5.0 gives you access to eulmore phantasm right?
the msq roulette gives close to 800 poetics after finishing it @leaden ginkgo
2 or 3 of those
Poetics doesn't do you much good for level 80 gear.
5.0 gives you access to eulmore phantasm right?
@patent citrus yes
will get you a full set
Can I do older 5.2 dungeons with the AI companions?
oh lv 80?
daily roulette will gives you like 1.2k phantasm per day hehe
Not unless you've leveled them to 80
well then expert and raids roulettes
easy if you spend it on phantasmgoria gear
you can cap
You can do almost all of the ShB dungeons with Trusts provided you've leveled them.
on the phantasm tomes easily
and the 490 one allegegory
Sigh, screwed, lol.
Just going to have to play the game lol
You'd still need the ilevel though
Imagine having to play the game to play the game π€
@leaden ginkgo just chill, you dont have to get the msq done in one day right?
thats why they gate ilvs like this
Playing is fine, I just avoid group stuff whenever I possible.
You can do the story dungeons with NPCs the first time without leveling them.
Doesn't mean everyone who plays it likes dungeons and raids with other people I find it very stressful.
yeah, i always do that. the Trust NPCs gives you funny interactions/dialogue
And that's fine.
Still thanks for the advice all, know what to do now even if it will take a while doing it my peferred way :-)
Normally I'd recommend running E1-4, then 5-8 for gear (as was also suggested), but if you don't want to interact with people, then just buy crafted gear.
Should have enough gil for that by... 2024 :-P
be antisocial like me and use trusts
its only slightly worse than a bad human party
The game practically throws gil at you.
doing roulettes each day nets you good gil, but yeah social anxiety may be an issue there
sending retainers out on quick ventures can earn you some good gil if you hustle
Yep, the game throws gil at you if you play it like a normal person :-P
well it's FF game first before MMO, don't worry i understand your perspective hehe
doing bulk sales from DoL
i myself just play for the story haha, for MMO content i'm good with just doing DR daily
Doing roulettes everyday gets you about 150K a day
bulk crafting
it takes me like 1 hour 30 mins daily most of the time to do the DR i like
gives you more than enough currency to explore the game
Then tonight I shall panic and stress, but tomorrow begin doing DR's.
Do weekly challenges. There's a ton of them you can do without ever interacting with other players, and which give you a ton of gil.
This might come a bit hesitant but
Things like "get the highest rating in 5/10 FATEs" or "kill X mobs of appropriate level with your chocobo" or "do Beast Tribe quests"
Which server is the ideal RP server per Data Centre?
Balmung on crystal is the biggest
Will look into taht too, thanks :-)
ah yeah these fates sometimes have chain stories as well
like they are connected to each other
yes come to balmung, just watch where you step
Some of them, yeah.
Yup
20 fates haha
Redbelly Hives makes me sad as a fellow Male Duskwight
Lots of zones have a series of linked FATEs with a continuing storyline that culminates in a big boss battle FATE
the OG dragon fate chain in coerthas central
The one in Il Mheg is like, three or four boss FATEs in a row.
And the one in The Tempest drops the stupid frog suit, iirc.
Successfully clearing the Battle for Highbridge series unlocks special inventory at the Highbridge merchant.
with a special minion!
the Poor Maid's Mill fates
Clearing the Hive in South Shroud and Attack on Highbridge in Eastern Thanalan give you access to a special vendor where you can buy a minion. Tiny Rat and Baby Raptor.
The Highbridge one also has a unique Orchestrion roll.
That you can't get anywhere else.
The Orchestrion roll was why I once solo cleared Highbridge.
i would care about the orchestrion but I don't think you can complete them anymore. π¦
I did it like 3-4 times the past few weeks
You can solo it too
Altho that can be a bit tight depending on your sustain and aoe
are culinarian masterbooks 1-7 worth anything?
You can't sell them
I have Echonian and Blizzard IV now, worth to use them yet? Or I wait till I have Fire IV?

Enochian should always be up, it's a straight damage buff
And using B4 lets you cast more fires, so it should also be used
is getting people through duty finder for void ark raids any harder since it isnt mandatory like crystal tower
Void Ark and its following two raids generally has the slowest queue, as it's not a prerequisite for anything.
You'll probably be hard pressed to get the queues to pop outside of prime-time hours.
It is still in Alliance roulette though.
um how do i get access to diadem? ive unlocked ishgard restoration just now
did you do all your !s?
how do you guys recover gp while gathering?
Cordials
gud early spot to level fisher?
use a fishing level guide. Pop up a survival manual too
hmm how should i spend my white scrips?
Either that or just ocean fishing lol
Depends
Do you already have good gear?
im lv 80 botanist but using lv 63 gears atm
oh, gatherer
but i can still make the highest collectability deliveries
debating if i should just wait until i can't reach the max collectability
and then i upgrade
i mean the white scrips limit is 2k and i'm still at 700
π€
Do you plan on ever making aesthetes gear?
i'm not sure yet, my goal was to just make use of my weekly deliveries limit
will ka shir require me to upgrade my gear later on? i mean i just started this week..
maybe future goal is to just unlock the stories for kashir and other deliverables npc π€
I'd recommend at least just grabbing some level 80 white HQ gear off the marketboard regardless
should be cheap as chips
Yes you could also do that
oh these 440 ilvl gear isn't worthed spending white scrips on?
ok, i'll check out the marketboard
If you were going to spend on white scrip gear
Grab the other etuff thats higher ilvl
Not the 440 stuff
How do i get more venture coins for my retainers again
gc seals
You could use some GC seals
Or levequest if you like the really slow way of getting them
GC.. as in Golden Saucer?
lol
Grand Company
Grand company seals
Oh
yknow, Twin Adders, Maelstrom, the blue guys
apply for promotion
yeh, rank up in your GC
promotion usually takes a few GC Seals + whatever, e.g. finish hunt log 1,2,3
Sometimes they ask you to clear a dungeon
Is it normal for my Frontline queue to say over 30 minutes? (I'm level 33)
yes
It's not because of your level
pvp isn't really that popular
It's just that not many people play it lol
Outside of "prime time" i mean
You will usually get lots of matches then
its also not really prime time for japan
PvP is easily one of the weakest points of the game, amd the devs dont have much insentive to improve it cause of how few people even bother doing its seasons.
PvP is totally functional and even fun
the idea that it's poor is really exaggerated
but there's just not a playerbase for it
It pretty much is prime time in JP, but you're really only going to find PvP matches on the weekends
I was under the impression that it's evening / early night rn in japan
just checked, it is
a bit late for a weekday for most, I assume, but should still be a lot of people online

How do i find a active german clan? is there any advice for me where to look? its very hard to find goods clans
I heard Shiva server was a pretty German server
I would advertise yourself on reddit or just shout in limsa or something
Also we don't use the term "clan" in ff14. I think the more correct term is "fc" or "free company"
Shiva is indeed the unofficial German server so to speak
But since you are on Chaos, you'd have to swap Data Centres to go over there
You can still try your luck here in #recruitment-chaos
Ah shit you're right I forgot Shiva was on light
I mean it doesn't mean that much tbh, I'm German myself and on Twintania
I still know some German FCs
i know nothing about European DCs
But it's true that the majority hang out on Shiva
Shiva has a lot of germans, I started out on that one but swapped to lich as the general chats were german as well so I did not understand shit
Lich as some but no where near as many, we do have a lot of people from the netherlands however
accidently sold my gnb artifact gear (the thancred's blue suit)
how can i get it back, seems no option to buy from salvager
ok ty ty
I forgot the NPC name but its the same guy
blacksmith guy
does it also sell the gear of other classes as well?
Yes
i think i was reminded by the job quest
Only if you finished the lv80 role quests
ty ty
Np
Does anyone have an updated list of Diadem monster dops?
!faq diademmap
Am I missing any level <50 side content at the moment?
So far I've done:
Zodiac
Allied Beast Tribes
GC
Gold Saucer
Hildebrand
I'm stuck in ARR looking for things to do.
not Do_ stuff, obviously
Bahamut, Crystal tower, Hardmode dungeons, Dzemael, Aurum
extremes if you've got people to carry you
Did all the blue quests as well, just pugged extremes
Well you'll be forced to do crystal tower regardless as its required msq now
Yeah I made it to Ishgard and did all three of those. I guess I'll just focus on blue mage. I've been doing potd to get my DOW up but my mind is numb and I cant go back today
gamerescape has a good ranbge shown on fishing holes

@gritty oracle
Hey all! I just joined the server and i'm a returning player (lvl63) healer on PC. I keep getting this message in FF: "One or more of your client settings files, which include your hotbar settings, failed to save." I didn't think much of it at first, but yesterday when i toggled my UI and repositioned my hotkeys, they weren't saved. Or my chosen minion. I keep getting the message every 5 or 10 minutes. What to do? And i apologize if there already was an answer to this
Feel free to also dm me if it easier that way! Thank you!
I'd just delete all my UI settings from my computer and essentially get a fresh UI copy when I next log in.
I don't know how to do that ._.'
Try downloading character settings from the server
Documents -> My Games -> FFXIV -> save your screenshots and then yeet everything straight to the recycle bin
It's a little engine button right besides your character's name during character selection, this might delete your current settings though.
are there any preferred worlds on EU right now?
hi, for blm downtime, is it best to just B3 or transpose?
also do people just use F3 to change to astral fire, not using transpose?
hi, for blm downtime, is it best to just B3 or transpose?
@hot crane downtime during what?
Fight?
outta mana I mean
what does it mean when my fishing rod just returns when i try to fish in a spot?
@hot crane are you level 80?
79
@hot crane !faq blmleveling
almost. gotta ask
You have a trait@hot crane
!faq blmleveling
yeah I saw that so I asked
blm downtime button is
You swap yo B3
!action umbral soul
Grants Umbral Ice and 1 Umbral Heart.
Umbral Heart Bonus: Nullifies Astral Fire's MP cost increase for Fire spells and reduces MP cost for Flare by one-third
Can only be executed while under the effects of both Enochian and Umbral Ice.
@untold sand Do you have a correct bait?
if you can umbral soul your way up to 3, just F3 and go into whatever next time you're active
He says he's out of mana
So just transpose and umbral soul up to 3
You should always have eno chan up
i need to scroll up, idk this context
In general I don't think BLM ever run out of mana during a encounter unless you got the bad
if there is no boss to hit, your astral fire/umbral ice is totally fallen off, and you have literally no MP
so in conculsion
then lucid dreaming until you can hit B3 and reopen
Opposite element spells cost no mana to cast
to swap to fire
If the boss has just left, transpose to ice and press umbral soul
B3 to swap
your astral fire/umbral ice is totally fallen off
no transpose
Or freeze
You can transpose to keep enochian up
if you have used transpose and spammed umbral soul, you will have 3 UI 3 UH
Transpose is only if you cannot possibly cast those 2 spells
so F3 and continue rotation
if you have no boss to hit and you are in fire, you must hit transpose to not drop completely
That sheet is just a rotation
!trait aspect mastery
The reason transpose ceases to exist on that chart
Is because of that trait
It invalidates its usage in the rotation
I had no backup on the server so it is identical with the one i have on my pc ._.'
Except for if there is no target
@deft wigeon so delete the folder manually, like they suggested above
Don't delete your screenshots
yet I thought I had too tansposed to save theenochian
You can
yet according to the sheet u just F3 or B3
so to make this simple, I just wanna know how people swap between fire and ice
The sheet is a combat rotation
read that sheet already, thanks
Yes, the Aspect Mastery trait removes the need for transpose
'Accumulating full stacks of either Astral Fire or Umbral Ice then casting a spell of the opposite element will consume no MP.'
ok tanks
Emus suggesting is in between dungeon pulls
You can swap for free
Or you have upcoming downtime
This means, if you have cast Despair or Flare and you have 0 MP but 3 AF
yet enochian will be lost tho
you can use Freeze or B3 at no cost
No it won't
Because AF/UI never runs out
Only your MP runs out
not the same
ok
It's obly between F3 and B3
oh I get it
and freeze
Because they give 3 stacks
Oh yeah fair mark
if it helps for BLM, just make sure you have the rotation down cause it can be harder to understand why it works, than to just do it
ty all
@hot crane you can also transpose from fire to ice and use your procs
Like polyglot and thunder proc, and get mana ticks, then hard cast F3
I know I boosted blm and while I learned the rotation it took me a while longer to realise why everything worked the way it did
Yeah happens with all boosts
I think asking the reason will help understanding the rotation
Once you hit level 40 you can basically remove transpose from your bar
Nope
Except for aoe rotation
since some are not so intuitive
!faq blmleveling
Don't remove it
If you remove transpose from your hotbar, you won't be able to save enochian in a pinch
Need for dungeon pulls
You can't swap to ice when you have nothing to hit
Yes, but ideally, you'll never need to save eno
I mean, you'll never need to save eno if you do your ST rotation correctly
Except for special cases
Hey guys, not sure if this where where this question goes but: almost done with Stormblood I think, but if I understand it, the job quests in Shadowbringer is replaced with Role Quests right? Which role quests has the best story?
Transpose is an emergency oh-shite button
Umbral soul is an emergency oh-shite button assuming you're in ice already
that's a little subjective
none of them really shine ahead of the rest like job quests
Most people were pretty happy about the tank/healer ones
For sure
Yeah I agree, tank and healer is good, magical dps is okay, physical dps is a bit weaker
it was average
Short
Pretty short, but sweet
aw, the DRK was on a good streak
They are mainly closure for most of the job storylines
DRK one is even literally named "Our Closure"
DRK is definitely the spotlight job
i am ready to be full edge
Of shadowbringers
ty for heads up!
It's full of different emotions
It's
It is indeed great
DRK is only the spotlight job because of the "Warrior of Darkness" theme. That's all. It's otherwise a rollercoaster of emotions.
It's a masterpiece in my opinion, I don't remember the last time an RPG made me download their entire OST
They just made a standalone RPG and paste it as an expansion to a MMO
Every expansion is like that...
What do you mean restricted? Are you getting an error message?
They were getting an error message about UI file
Yeah it's normal
They also do this if you change hardware
They imply it might be someone else logging into your account
Using OTP helps prevent that I believe
Never remove transpose. Only use it if you have to keep your eno up when you feel like its gonna expire
It's fine, it's just protection
Limsa
Limsa Lominsa at the Marauder's guild
Well gotta find that then xD
if you didn't start in Limsa then you have to unlock airship travel first
which happens around lvl 15 msq
Is it near the rogue one or nah?
Marauder's guild is all the way up at the northern end of Limsa's Upper Decks.
it has its own aetheryte iirc
It does, yes
in the network
You have to unlock the network first
It's the same city as the Rogue's guild, but on the literal opposite end of the city.
@deft wigeon When you deleted the files, did you delete the folder too? Or only the files inside it?
im fckin fishing at the basic fish spot at fishermen's guild and with basic bait and it automatically reels in and puts away rod. why 
Now i can't play with my character. It says "unable to create config data"
@deft wigeon do you have write access to the FFXIV folder in your "Documents" folder?
It sounds like a permissions issue as the game isn't able to write to it. Try deleting the folder itself. The game should be able to recreate it with the permissions it needs.
im starting to get pissed off all the spots in gridania and la nocea ive used basic crayfish and lungfish bait and i dont press reel in and it auto puts away my rod
and idfk why
Uggggghhhh why is the Legendary Yokai medal drop rate so bad.
@untold sand Is it putting away the rod after a while? Or right away?
It automatically puts it away if you're using the wrong bait or aren't a high enough level
right away
Also if you move your character iirc. I've had that happen a few times.
Do you get poetic tomes when doing duties solo & unsynced ?
Thank you!
is there a button for me to sort my inventory automatically?
if you right click an item in your armory or inventory it should give you a sort option
how is zeta weapon progress anoyingness level compared to anima or eureka?
Rather than just grinding stuff
Maybe it just makes you easier to see
I wouldn't read too far into the marker meanings
They aren't really used
hm.... I guess I'm dropping my plan for gae bolg then 
if there are 2 tank, usually marker indicates main tank, im probably wrong though.
Markers really don't mean anything
They're only used in normal play for like 1 fight
a friend of mine likes to mark people who do less job during msq roulette 
To mark the 2 tanky adds
But otherwise if people are marking you its context specific can always ask
lv 10 minimum to enter though
Is there a wiki/faq for phantasmagorio like there is for poetics?
same thing applies, just different currency
instead of buying a specific item to vendor it's better to buy the materials to sell on the marketboard
What's the main way to make money as a maxed gatherer?
i forgot how u access ishgard restoration
Aesthete gear mats?
theres no crystal there
Remember to do the blue quest for it outside of the main Aetheryte
If you haven't already
Because that's the start to access the firmament
After you do that then you can teleport from the main Aetheryte

@simple pine There's not, because phanta is still a current currency.
How many yellow scrips is each blue token?
25
What zone is the new custom delivery
Ishgard Firmament
Thx
youβll have to do the sidequests there to unlock it
also to do some sidequests u need to be trusted at the vath beasttribe iirc
yeah some firmament sidequests need it but arent sure if its the ones for ehll tou
Nah just do firmament side quests
might be the newest ones that come with the completion of this phase
Then you can get ehll tou deliveres
but yeah ehll tou is just the starter ones
I've never done the vath
And I got ehll tou maxed
You can get her mount when you max her out
She's so cute
Little mallet
And a tiny hat
Whats the general looting etiquette for dungeons in ffxiv, i see people online saying most people need on everything they can, unlike on wow where youd be called a ninja for doing that
Need if you can...greed if you wany it..pass if you dont
I mean it's not a massive issue for dungeons and stuff and you can't need anything unless you can use it on your job so if someone is leveling and actually needs that gear you can pretty much 9/10 actually guarantee it
You can only roll need on items for your job. And cannot roll again for items you already own like minions.
It's more of a thing for actual savage raids and even then if you PUG it (do it with random people) generally it's just a free for all
if you join a static you might have some loot structure
If you want it click need
I don't need on something I don't need. So yeah, I need.
Due to class priorety no one will get mad, if they wanted those monk weapons they should have done the dungeon as monk instead
ok thanks guys π
Just don't join master loot parties or "loot in order of join" or some shit, those are 87% scams
Due to class priorety no one will get mad, if they wanted those monk weapons they should have done the dungeon as monk instead
and if they couldn't because their monk is too low level then they can't actually need it yet so it's not massively important
It's nice if they got the extra gear for when they get into X job but it wouldn't be important at that point
Gear is usually not the issue, but glams, rare pieces like the armor of light and a paladin already wearing the glam yet rolling need for it again instead of passing for someone else.
I'm just going to quickly stop you there Carl, I know the question is answered but poetic gear doesn't get you from one level cap to another level cap
It's these scenarios of etiquette the person was probably asking about.
why would you roll for something you already have
GC seals.
? I've never been able to roll need on something that is in my inventory. I get an error message.
Im just about to hit lvl 15 so can do my first dungeon, thats why i was asking π
For gear anyway
If you put it into your glamour dresser the system doesn't recognize it.
just need if you can
So you can get that glam again.
Well then yeah. I would personally call that a shit move.

oooooooooohhhh thank youuu

Question: I'm new to ffxiv been loving the game so far β€ but just wanted to ask if i should buy the sub within mine 30 day trail or wait until the trail is over to pay for a sub cuz i know the trail restricts you from certain things
The trial is indefinite
you are not limited to 30 days
That being said, buy the sub whenever you think that you'll stick to this game
Also you need to buy the game before you sub
That too
Although every content up to lvl 60 is also part of the trial, incidentally the starter edition als includes all content up to that point
As new here too ,i suggest u to finish arr msq first
So the only difference are the lifted restrictions
Thanks guys π

is there any reason not to join the guilds for all the diff classes as i make my way through the cities?
you have to level and gear all of them
Not really
might as well join now
But yes, it might flood your inventory with gear
But there is no downside to unlocking all the classes
Yeah you can switch jobs any time, anywhere
Provided you have a weapon for the job you want to change to in your inventory
What's the best server NA to start fresh on?
any
aite ty guys
This game is not bound by servers
itβs not too impactful since each server in that datacenter can do stuff and interact together
is there any reason not to join the guilds for all the diff classes as i make my way through the cities?
Roleplaying only. In-game, the NPCs who tell you to do X thing then wait for you. So if everyone is waiting for you at once and you keep them waiting for a very long time, it's not the kind of behavior people would display in real life. But this is a deep immersion thing so just level up whatever you want.
Can I find low level Gathering points if Iβm high level ? I mean, Iβm lv 11 Botanist and I canβt find the level 1 trees to complete my quest
Yes you can
click the quest in your quest list
Just go to the area
to show the map
Use your gathering log to help find the general area and use your low level location skill to find the nearest nodes
is there a difference between leviathan and gilgamesh
i see
does Free trial include stuff outside HW MSQ, like, is it possible to actually grind out the relic weapons?
well relic weapons are per expansion so I guess?
hi what do I do with the Materia I got from MSQ?? I chose materia instead of Armour Pieces since it will fill my armour chest to fast, but now I have to much materia an I wander whay to do with it?
Try to sell on MB, if you can't you can also just meld them on random stuff
oh good ideas
NPCs in major city's have materia mender
If you do want to use it go to any Materia Melder in any of the big cities to slot it into your gear (though there is hardly any reason to do so before hitting the lvl cap)
It increases your spirit bond gain and gives you even more materia!
If I have a piece of gear shared between two jobs, is there a way I can have it glammed one way for one job and a different way for the second job?
Yes!
I don't think materia increases spiritbond gain
hm should I wait untill I have an certain stock of them?
You can link certain glamour plates to specific equipment sets
So when you change sets it also automatically applies glams
Hun I'm fairly certain it increases it by a tiny bit
@scenic jungle do note that it won't work outside of cities
But this obviously only works in a place where glam plates can be applied
But yeah, you can just use them whatever way you want
awesome, just what i'm looking for. Does that spend prisms each time?
Curious, are you at a disadvantage by doing Palace Of The Dead before you unlock the Job upgrade of your Class (eg, doing it as an Arcanist instead of a Summoner, since you will not have access to your Job abilities)
You won't contribute as much but technically not at a disadvantage.
More of a handicap.
Will ff14 be on sale anytime soon?
Also, glad that you still unlock quest locked abilities in PoTD even if you haven't done said quest.
Maybe on Cyber Monday?
Also it will be platform dependent.
Well you wont have access to job skills as a class in Potd
Steam does not need to have sales at the same time as Square.
So that influences sale times if you still use Steam primarily.
any advice when I should check for the price of the Materia I sell on MB??? I know that I might need to adjust my price unless I wanna not to sell (or so I think)
If anything being a caster is more annoying than being a class, because stuff dies too quickly in potd
not really a question about the game itself but does anyone know how to fix the issue where clicking on a google link to anything under the finalfantasyxiv.com domain redirects you to a page for the free trial? i've had this issue for at least two months now and nothing i do works. i've disabled adblockers, cleared my cache, etc. using google chrome. for some reason it redirects me to the german free trial page specifically too
Eh, it gets pretty spicy on the lower levels
I guess I'm assuming they're going in as a class (without job) just to err, grind a little. Not to clear deep levels lol
fair π
@unique patrol If you are looking to purchase the game, visit the store.
You can change your region at the bottom of the page if you're not on NA.
that's not the issue, i own the game. it's that if i literally click on any link to the ffxiv website on google it sends me to the german free trial page
like even if i'm trying to look up an item
im trying to run binding coil with a friend, im lvl80 and hes 50, from what ive read i can easily solo the raids but if he joins, will the raid scale up? will we still be able to clear it?

No, if you both go in unsynced it will stay at lvl 50
turn 9 might be spicy though with just 2 people
But it should be possible
you can do just about everything in coils duo without much trouble minus 9 and 5 if you donβt burst 5 fast enough
How many meteor adds spawn if you go in solo?
Because we did it with 3 people recently and even then, the damn meteors were very annoying D:
Oh yeah, T5 you can solo with enough dmg
Saw a SAM solo T9. I tried it and just could do it myself.
I did that
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/In_Nature's_Embrace this quest isn't available to me even though i'm a level 31 CNJ and i've completed the level 25 quest + Sylph Management?
What does it say under your main scenario tracker
Your current job quest shows up under the main scenario tracker
also what is your current MSQ
does anyone know if you can get the katana the imperials use in Doma and Kugane?
couldn't be totally sure what it looks like so couldn't say
!iglam chromite uchigatana
@craggy scarab
ahh yes
its tradeable
Crafted
ah
you can buy it on mb
Crafted.
ooh okie
Market.
where do i start the Miner class?
Shop purchase: Il Mheg vendors and scrips.
Uldah

My wife made 12 copper rings as she was requested for a level 10 goldsmith job quest but the quest icon is still red and it says "0/12" on her quest log. Does anybody know what the problem could be?
is it supposed to be NQ or HQ
NQ and they are NQ
Did she make the box of copper rings? Or like rings you can equip? There's two different kinds
right
Copper ringS, not copper ring
What's the main way to make money as a level 80 gatherer?
She does not have the option to make the box. The only ones available for her to craft is the equippable ones
She can only make a box of brass rinjgs
Copper Rings is like the 4th item in the 1-10 list. You get it before Brass Rings even.
Anyone in Exodus think they could help me lvl my drk
@crimson wind you could always farm for unspoiled nodes
Those mats usually go for 1k each
Specially HQ ones
Those sell very well
Returning player, from 2.0 where did goblin server go?
how long does the well rested bonus last?
on crystal iirc
Well rested?
the exp bonus
@manic flare forever until you use it
i don't understand
You don't "lose" it
what do u mean bystockpile
so can some one explain to me Ten Chi Jin ?? does it matter the order I cast the Mudra? tho all 3 were Fuma Shurike@
You save up that exp
That's different
because you have other buffs
@cobalt pagoda so you know how if you do the mudras "ten" "chi" and "jin" you get suiton right?
yeah
But if you do chi and jin you get another thing
is there no beast tribe for lvl 3~ miner? do i have to farm leves?
With ten chi jin you get everything
So you get the shuriken
Then the second skill
Then also suiton
Remember to not move tho
Or you cancel it
@lyric warren the only gatherer tribe are qiqirn iirc
And Namazu (SB)
says namazu are crafting oriented
None for ARR
hmmm I got the Shutiken then the Lightning one the Doton, so it matter in what order I use them π€
Yes
Yes
Namazu are both crafting and gathering
aha Thanks
It remembers the order you do it

ooo I see
With TCJ you either do Fuma > raiton > suiton for single target or Fuma > katon > doton for aoe
aha so thatβs way there are 2 combinations for the mudras?
You usually use it inside trick attack
Huton, doton and suiton
For the damage
about that how do I get trick attack??
Then you eat the suiton buff with that level 74 skill
Use suiton
suiton
With suiton
You hardcast suiton when trick is under 20s cooldown as suiton lasts 20s
man suiton has a few extra effects
I have a question about shards but I donβt want to be spoiled by other things by asking in the spoiler thread
And use spoiler tags
Hey guys for a question, hope you can help me.
Currently Iβm free to play, but will upgrade for sure.
In the ps store the full package is currently discounted, I would like to buy it now, but upgrade later. Does anyone know how that works? Or will it maybe auto upgrade my account?
Ps4 upgrades the moment you buy it
ps4 auto applies iirc
Only PC can delay using it
I just started Shadowbringers. ||So there are 13 parallel universes and the world the game is set in is the source?||
Oh no ._.
Yes conbon
Yes
||Are they like exact copies? So are their 13 meβs walking around?||
You first learned about the existence of them ||When you visited Minifilla/word of the Mother in the Antitower and learned of the Sundering||
no
theyre not exact
||because history was different for them||
||so they developed differently||
Continue the MSQ, there is a lot of explanation about the shards
||They were copies of the world when it was Sundered Hundreds of years ago. However they have all developed their own history and are different||
||Is the general geographical of the worlds the same?||
Yes you can
@narrow arch ||yes, you can compare a map of eorzea and a map of norvrandt and see for yourself||
||Not really a question but Iβm in love with the look of Norvrandt so far π||
||also the "yous" are not exact copies of you, they are still their own people, they will look and act different||
This is getting kinda #archived-lore-spoilers territory.
he didnt want to be spoiled there
Fair.
Plus spoiler tags so
any place that sells level 40 ish gathering accessories?
Market board.
The 40s are a bit weird from what I remember. You're kind of stuck with 35-ish accessories until around 45.
is there a list of all the mining nodes lvls?
can you survive Bardam's mettle with Shite Gear?
@fast hull as a dps yes but as a healer/tank you will struggle immensely
It's the point in msq where you transition gear anyways
Lv65msq
k levelling RDm
No I just dont want to spend gil on lvl 64 armor XD ( I spend that for tank and healer)
i mean, bardam's is where you would be exchanging gear
Does MNK's playstyle significantly change from 66 to 80, or is what I'm experiencing right now more or less what I'll be doing at 80 with a couple more buttons? It doesn't feel like it's changed too much from 60 -> current level.
if you don;t have the HQ white gear
Not really, you only really get GL4 in the 70s
fuggw
Most of the things you get past 50 are ogcd buffs/damage/qol
Thanks for the input!
Might just drop it in this case, it's been fun but it's starting to get a bit stale
@fringe burrow Well you need to incorporate your new cooldwon elixir field (and gave you form shift which is infinite GL)
Yeah I've been hearing about the rework and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they're going to do with the job
I don't think that the main rotation will change that much
But we will see when it actually drops
We don't really know what they are going to do lol
Just that they will rework it somehow

I just want more forgiveness or a buff in positioning, like it punishes MNK in DPS if you did it incorrectly.
that's melee
DRG you only have like 1 button? MNK all has all the buttons (SAM I dont know)
all other melee have 2
is there any reason to keep the grade 2 Ishgard stuff?
DRG is the one that loses the most dps if they miss their positionals apparently
Yes
more importantly mnk has riddle of earth and true north to help deal with positionals
!action raiden thrust
Sam also loses a decent chunk
Basically a boosted first combo
if they miss positionals
If you do your fang/wheel positionals right
Positionals are part of mechanical skill expression in melees
^ and DRG/MNK benefit the most from it
is the NIN dps lost huge when not doing the positionals?
Yeah but the 12 combo usually dont have postionals for most of them, so I can scurry to flank or rear, MNK I am like a buzzing fly if true north is down
sam and nin get potency ups and meter gains
It is kind of significant
Sam is not just potency up and meter gain though
but MNK actually loses out on some good shit if you donβt do positionals
tell that to my tank -_-
well got that I use True North as soon as itβs on CD
is there any way to skip or delay the crystal tower requirement for the msq? im in queue for 70 minutes cause my msq is locked :/
Each kenki is about 13 potency
@leaden sentinel no
On the bright side, positionals for me is good in DRG and NIN due to MNK XD
oh boi... really killing it for me right now tbh...
You don't always have to do positionals with riddle up
Try to requque
whats the "fastest" role for raid queues?
heal
healers
heal
Dps for alliance raids though
well. queued as healer...
70 mins for crystal tower is super weird even for dps
Yeah but dungeon roullete is random, I can really be sure that dungeons will always be 64+
Ye
Ok how can I make use of tornado kick properly
Downtime
Don't
or gonna be useless forever
the only proper use of TK is downtime
Only when you KNOW you'll lose it
only downtime
You do not use it in combat for any other reason
Cause of downtime
Like when you literally wont hit boss anymore
You have to know
if you are forced off of the boss for like 2-3 gcds, then TK is worth using
we cant queue as multiple roles right?
no
Nope
That's sss kael
oh
Then Anatman stacks back while you're away if possible
righht
Unless you mean in like a party
if you are forced off of the boss for like 2-3 gcds, then TK is worth using
that's a bit short, and also 6SS
oh
yes
never mind
yeah my b, i was thinking of SSS
TK is when you're absolutely losing your stacks
Ye
be it hard cutscene lock or the end of a boss
oh
Stupid example would be adds phase in Eden 8
TK usage is the death of mnk players
lol to much of an bother to remember I have TK XD
Mnk balance section has a really great named FAQ, lemme just find it
Or like, you are going to lb and will lose your stacks because of it
I assume pb opener @agile laurel
do the stormblood vendors give level 60 craft/gather gear or 61 ?
I thought Irowworks gear are 60 craft
oh. someone deleted my post
but I am non crafter
61 @leaden ginkgo
Huh
