uhh Msq?
msq = main story quests
yeah im waiting for Msq
I know
But again, outside of doing it for the msq and getting it via trial roulette there is not much reason to queue for it
Which is likely why you have long queue times
But when reset time comes around, in about 3 hours, people will probably queue for trial roulette
And your chances will, presumably, improve
damn whenever the duty ready it is always 1 healer who didnt ready
Where can I find kugane’s inns, if there’s any?
There's an aethernet shard right next it
called the Bokairo Inn
Should also be noted on the map
In the north west corner
Thank you
You see the bed icon at the top? That's what you're looking for.
This bed icon will be your guide for any new city you unlock too.
Bed icon = inn room, always. Good luck, have fun.
I see, thank you!
Can blu go into 60 maps?
Is there a way to change your idle pose automatically?
Ive seen people change their pose in certain intervals even though afk
Nvm found it
I just found it, thank you 
that changes is permanently
As in automatically
But yeah, you can also cycle through them automatically
How long do you Think it would take to get 1,000,000 MGP?

2 weeks maybe?
err sorry, longer
But it's not that much, assuming you get the fashion report and challenge log MGP every week
Fashion report?
it's a weekly gold saucer activity
You get hints for a certain outfit to wear and if you nail it you get 100k mgp
there's a whole discord dedicated to it so if you just wait for the solution every week it is pretty much free mgp
You can also use !fashionreport down in #kupo-bot-spam
I meant Dragonskin map dungeons. Can blu go into Aquapolis?
it will spit out the current challenge
Thank you!!
man i wish there are more healers in need T_T
my daily roulette recently keep giving me tanks
can all titan’s attacks knock you off the arena? Or is it just the one with the straight line warning?
well just avoid all haha
Landslide (straight line AoE) is the knockback one.
i think the rounded one is damage, but all dangerous in their own right
ye i try to avoid all but knowing which does the knockback makes me less frantic
Tks all
What is a good way to level alt classes? I'm really struggling to get my alts to even level 15.
Do your hunting log for that class
Hunting log for below 15
it's a biiig chunk
I did, but it only got me to level 13.
if doing the level 1-20 hunting log doesn't get you to 15 then you can do some FATEs or leves
or PotD
PotD?
Palace of the dead
Unlockable via level 17 quest "The House That Death Built" in the Gridania tavern
I've never been able to successfully get a team to queue for that
once you hit 15 dungeons are recommended anyway, assuming your queue times are okay-ish
So I'd say do some leves and then hit the dungeons
Yeah, I'm just trying to get to 15
FATEs probably better than leves.
Will I miss out on anything if I start playing and don't get the expansion packs till i reach endgame? (other than not being able to play the bunny race)
Yeah I will admit I am biased against fates :/
Try FATEs around Aleport
Do your hunting logs.
@fiery falcon nah you're fine
if you're on the free trial you'll miss out on some social stuff and the marketboard which is a slight annoyance
but not a game-breaker
er
should mention
obviously you can't get to "endgame" without the expansion
you'll be capped at level 60
endgame is level 80.
You'll be at "endgame" of the base version I guess...
Heavensward endgame. Old school style.
@jade quartz Thank you! I plan on buying the subscription I just can't get the expansion yet. How long would you say it takes to reach the point of where you need the expansion if you play casually? like a couple of hours every day / every other day
hello what's the best leve to spam for "Honest GIllionare" title
If finances are a problem I'd honestly recommend you stay on the free trial for now @fiery falcon
All buying the base game and sub does is unlock the marketboard and social stuff like free companies and /shout chat.
Ahh really?
You still have access to all content up to level 60 on the free trial
just finish all of HW including optional trials, raids and such probably takes over a month
So you could do the story up to there, level a few jobs to 60 if you want
unless you want some of the social feautres like fc's and marketboard, theres not to much of a reason to early sub to the game if you havent reached trial capped @fiery falcon
and then when you feel like you've exhausted what's available to you on free trial/want to move on, then buy the base game and the expansion
but thats up to you if you want that now or later
Ahh thanks so much for explaining guys, I'll be doing the free trial for now then! ❤️
Does Part 2 of the ARR NG+ start right where the starting town split merges or is that in a different part?

ok just started play.. i'm really lazy.. can I pay money to get a mount right away lol ? 😛
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
If you have a friend who's been playing a while already they might have a passenger mount they can fly you around with.
I have a character on another world in EU.. can I transfer stuff between?
Ah okok thx
Pretty sure you can't even trade cross server. Cross datacenter is straight out.
You can trade cross server
But you need a third person to hold items while you swap characters
Ah ok
how do you repair your gear as a crafter?
Is there a reason why its easier to play with a controller than a keyboard for me
Meet the level requirement, have dark matter in your inventory, right click the piece of gear and go repair
Is there a reason why its easier to play with a controller than a keyboard for me
@silent gorge Most likely personal preference?
I mean, how can anyone but yourself answer what you're more comfortable with?
I just feel like im doing something wrong
I set up the hot bars but its just so much faster with the controller
The only downside to a conrtoller is typing in chat
The free trial till 60, is that also for the steam version?
Or only the "normal" launcher version?
@fiery falcon same for steam
when do I lock up the hunting thing
@jade quartz Thanks again! xx
should I use Dragoon's jump skill between combo skills?
Yes
yes, it's an oGCD
It is called weaving if you wanna research more on that
The concept exists on all jobs
!faq weaving
the details about cast time GCDs there are aimed at caster classes
but the stuff in the middle is relevant to you.
Why cant I select Omega from the server list when applying for character transfer?
!status omega
Hm, it should be possible
So not really liking mages at this point
Odin is online, playing with @faint flare right now
I have my old char on Omega, but started play in Odin... how do I switch back to Omega ?
I'm playing the free trial but thinking of subscribing. Will the game let me play again in the free areas if I dont then renew my subscription or does it just stop you from playing completely?
Sophia, once you buy the game, you can't play without a sub.
I have my old char on Omega, but started play in Odin... how do I switch back to Omega ?
@bleak lake change your datacenter before logging in, to chaos
You do get 30 days for free if you buy the game.
Ah thx
There are no free areas really, the trial just lets you play as if you would own the starter edition + certain restrictions
Wow really? So its just easier to play for free until I can no longer progress?
If you are fine with the restrictions, yes

OK thanks, looks like I'm playing for free a little longer then!
So since neither Odin or Omega is in the character transfer server list I guess its not possible to recover my char on Omega to Odin?
Hold up
are you on Entry subscription?
You can only have one character per world if you're on Entry subscription mode.
Ah yes I think I am
So, you're being blocked from transferring your Omega char to Odin because you already have a character on Odin
and vice versa for transferring your Odin char to Omega.
ah ok, so if I have 2 char and go for Entry I have to choose what char to use?
the character limitations are there.
@narrow blade All the casters are pretty basic until around level 70 when they are all closer to having a full kit
though honestly you can say that about MOST of the jobs in the game
a lot of them dont get their bread and butter until way later on
@wispy parcel I'm super green and I wanted to do mage but it just doesnt seem like my play style I'd rather be in thier face taking dmg for the party than sitting back casting spells
could it be that the servers on light are still a bit wonky from the outage?
So than a tank would probably be a better fit for you
@wispy parcel yup that is what I'm making now was reading up paladin or gunbreaker lol
If you're new to tanking in MMOs, don't recommend jumping to gunbreaker as it starts at level 60
I'm not new to mmos just the ff series
Paladin is the easiest one to start with
I havent played an mmo since the beginning of perfect world lol
@young fjord 
Well it sounds like you are pre lvl 60 anyway so Gunbreaker isn't really a choice right now
@glossy flare correct
If you are limited to the lvl 1 choices then you only have Paladin and Warrior
And yeah, Paladin is the most straight forward tank
They're all very straightforward.
I went with gladiator than it goes into paladin correct?
IMO Warrior is more straight forward now a days
I'd call warrior and dark knight both marginally more straightforward than paladin tbh
Yeah I can see that argument, i just think PLD is so classic
all the tanks play reletively the same but with minor differences
Paladin has a cooldown for any situation and is the most versatile
Warrior is big on self healing
Dark Knight has The Blackest Knight which is the best mitigation in the game
Gunbreaker has a DPS combo and does slightly more DPS than the other tanks
in ARR PLD was way more basic, but now WAR is that. All you do is keep one buff up, and have a burst window, otherwise just generate and spend
If PLD get interrupted mid combo due to mechanic or something thye are screwd
awesome well im about to start leveling this gladiator and im holding out on buying the subscription until I hit level 35 once it runs out

just cant add anyone or talk to anyone lol
Trial will take you to level 60
^
Trial is until the end of Heavensward
o thought I read 35
And it doesn't have a time limit
They updated it
35 is what it used to be
It used to be 35
that was the old free trial
Now you get vanilla+first expnasion in trial
they gave you more cause level 35 was around what was the worst part of the MSQ
MSQ Main story quests?
Yes
I'm old my apologies lol
Now they let people get to when the story actually gets good
to get em hooked classic move
also I'm kinda powering through all this im not really into the videos and such just play to level and kill and get the best gear lol
so my trail might be over quicker
The story is like 80% of the game so I'd recommend taking it slow
Even if you skip everything it will take some time just because of how much story there is. For example there is a whole stretch after the base ARR (where you are lvl 50 already) and where Heavensward starts (also technically at 50)
Bottom line is that story is a huge part in this game and ignoring it is not recommended
trial has no time limit. you can level all jobs to lvl 60 if you wanted too so theres no need to rush.
I will admit that the ARR storyline is a bit slow and doesn't hold up to the expansions in terms of quality though
Not that it's bad per se
but it is needed as context to understand what the hell is happening
It's the old "stick with it, it will get sooo much better in season 2" kinda deal
hey what classes play similar to machinist
All the other ranged physical dps, to a degree
Though they have more proc mechanics and are more "random" because of that
(Dancer and Bard btw)
Sorry for asking so many questions, but i'm trying to download & play the game. I want to do the free trial till 60 but it just tells me this:
I think MCH is special it has a rotation, other range DPS is random procs or pray you have procs
What aspects of machinist do you like?
True, if you are looking for more combo system mechanics then melee dps might fit you better
Sorry for asking so many questions, but i'm trying to download & play the game. I want to do the free trial till 60 but it just tells me this:
did you download the free trial launcher?
Or if you like the rampup to the burst window, then perhaps you'd like summoner, dragoon or any of the tanks.
!faq freetrial
try this link instead
I didn't know there was a specific free trial launcher, I thought I could just download the one on steam o:
oh steam works too
you gotta download the FFXIV (free trial) game
not the FFXIV game
they are listed as two different games
Ahh i see the free one on steam
gotta think ahead if you want to play it on steam forever
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world! Experience all the hallmarks of the best-selling franchise - airships, chocobos, moogles, and more.In the updated Free Trial version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV, ...
83
so if i play the free trial one, can i still use that character if i decide to buy a subscription at 60?
yes
or do i have to start over?
since if you decided to upgrade later, you'll be forced to use steam forever
but if you start on steam, you gotta stay on steam
are there any downsides to that?
people say steam has less sales but its not by much i can tell
butbut
you getta use steam wallet if you have that
that is usually the deciding factor when people chooses to use steam vs non-steam
else, it doesnt really matter
yeh, if you have a lot of extra steam wallet, i guess it's better if you use steam
but for me it's confusing x_x
as smug said, steam usually has less sale
im not even sure about that anymore
There is one difference too, if you can use Steam Wallet, you can auto-renew with Paypal as well if you link it to the Steam Wallet.
Alright thank you! xx
how do i get to wolfs den
@jade quartz I like hypercharge it’s really fun
Dumb question, but if you run roulettes at lvl 80 do you get the "rest" experience that just builds up? Until the bar turns blue at least
so the high-speed GCD thing?
no other job really has that
You don't get any experience from roulettes at lvl 80
I guess doing NIN mudras has that fast-input feel
and summoner has massive burst windows like that although they don't speed up your GCD
@glossy flare thanks for the answer
@velvet fossil rested exp accumulates over time, not from doing anything.
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
BLM
BLM doesnt get Fire 4 until 60 and Foul until 70. SMN doesnt get Bahamut until 70 and their rotation feels incomplete until then
BLM I'd say is especially rough because you practically have to throw out what you know about it every 10 levels or so after you hit 50
And then do it again once you get scaled down for older content once you're capped
Red mage not having its finisher slows the gameplay loop a tad
You don't really throw out what you know
I know, it's just hard to go back to Fire 1 spamming fishing for an F3 proc when you're used to F4
Its more like you get more tools that become part of what you should use
Plus expecting things like Aspect Mastery to be there and then they aren't
Yeah
That said please do not let that dissuade you if you want to play BLM, it's very fun.
Nah I don’t think I’ll like it
That's fair.
I was just asking because I kinda want to boost
BLM is my favorite DPS, once you get it to 80
I'm sort of in that boat too, sorawild, I just have trouble using it in new content
But it's just so cool
I'd say DRK is pretty damn squishy before you get TBN
Aetherial Manipulation saves lives my friend
and yea you dont get the main thing for DRK until level 70
as well
Not having your short cool down isn't great but drk does fine
are bitter memories gotten all over bozja or in a specific place?
@fiery falcon
You got the right client? There is a free trial one and the one for the full version.
Below you can download the free trial client you need:
@leaden ginkgo Yeah I think I just have to do it off steam.. I download the trial steam version but it's just not working at all 😅
but everytime i download the trial version on steam it's like it just downloads the normal one?
Yeah. Don't know if you need to make a new account, but if you need a new one, you can cancel your old steam one and make a new one off steam with the same creditentials.
@fiery falcon
The account I'm trying to use isn't new but it's not old either. I've purchased 1 month sub on it before, but they're all super low level
is that why maybe?
There's your issue you cannot return to the trial when you have a game license registered to your account
Ah, that is why! You need to subscribe then in that case.
You can still cancel the account and start anew.
(You do lose all progress then, don't know if you can reuse the name you used.)
ahh thank you, if i cancel my account will the characters / names be deleted too?
and can i reuse my account name?
You can use the name again if you aren't on the same world as before
So if you delete the character
You can use the name kn that world
My character is stuck running and will not stop no matter what button I hit! even if I used the mouse to jump to sealed area, my character still just runs. Tried a few controllers same thing! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
is it smart to farm fates
Do you have the autorun selected
For what? Exp? Not really
It can help fill challenge log

No. Turns out that Final Fantasy XIV froze "not responding"
Thanks for the help again!
Its a fine queue waiting alternative in shb but not so much in the earlier parts of the game
So you lagged and disconnected
I see
I tried using the mouse to move and the game froze
This is the third time since I got the game back in the beginning of August that the game froze during a dungeon. What could be the problem here? It is ONLY in dungeons
@rich bay Do you know how to cancel the steam one? I tried making a new one through steam but it just says this
ofc bc i've already used it for my old account
Emmy, go to the mogstation and cancel your account there.
What classes are worth to boost (or at least the most worth)
who wants to donate gil to me?
How do I get gold seals for Khloe?
who wants to donate gil to me?
Pops#2563
Pops, don't think @whole wasp, like begging.

@signal rover
By getting 3 lines in wonderous tales.
I have 3 though and it only says silver?
do i have to remove the trail to active my code
No, putting in the code will just take you off trial
i need fats
That's just the RNG reward chance Wolfiee
You can also get the gold ones from that too
I still need help regarding why the game keeps freezing during dungeons
Oh, okay. I've never seen gold. Guess I'm unlucky?
memby wifi moltres
@signal rover
You are not level 71 yet, that is why you can only choose between 2 options. Once you reach level 71, you get a different variant with 3 options.
Choose the MGP, it is 1 million MGP.
What classes are worth to boost (or at least the most worth)
I guess Summoner or Scholar since you get a 2 in 1 for that
@haughty spade this is your first and last reminder, do not beg for gil/in-game items in this server.
idk
@rich bay I'm level 72, but I'm only just finished HW MSQ.
Reason: no begging
Ah, that is why. You also needed to have reached ShB for it.
I suggest getting the 20 × 50K MGP, that gives you a nice mount. @signal rover
was that considered begging?
@rich bay thanks!
costa del sol has some level 30 FATEs @leaden ginkgo
Mm okay
@signal rover
Grab the Fenrir mount in the Golden Saucer for 1.000.000 MGP.
was that considered begging?
yes and if it was sarcastic then you're being inappropriate for this channel so you can't really win this
Actually out of Ninja, Dragoon and Astrologian which ones are most worth to boost
As in like their leveling experiences are the worst
not dragoon
@rich bay if I already have the minions from bronze/silver certs is more MGP just better? I'm guessing 450 gear isn't worth the certs.
oh okay
@signal rover
Yes, if you can't get the gold token, always get the MGP.
MGP is 
@wintry chasm So is that a vouch for Dragoon being good?
The Fenrir mount is for 1 million MGP in the gold saucer, and 20 x 50.000 is 1 million.
quick maths 😛
Getting 1M MGP the normal way takes months.
(Let alone 2 million for the cactuar mount)
In story and also I just think it's fun (except the early early level non-existent aoe)
Fair enough, maybe I should check it out
@rich bay Sorry for asking again. I've just cancelled both completely, now what do I have to do to get a new "code" thingy so I can play on steam with a new account?
Wouldn’t Dragoon be boring until like you get your Dragon gauge
@wintry chasm can you help Emmy further?
sooo
Just so I understand
Emmy bought the game on Steam but her code was used on the wrong account or something?
@rich bay should I just save 2m for the other mount?
Up to you
I'm getting 80k MGP per week from WT
I should probably actually do some stuff at Gold Saucer too lol
I need to learn how to gamble better....but this isn't a question.. so..how do I gamble better?
I almost have the fat chocobo minion
@wintry chasm So I got the game on steam, I paid for one month of membership then didn't play it for a bit. Now I'd like to play again, and have been told you can play up to level 60 for free
and that I need to make a new account for it
So I did, but it says that the registration thingy has already been used, so I was told to delete my account, which I did (completely I think?)
And now I'm a bit unsure of how to "reset" the code on steam so I'm able to make a new account
The product code
You don't want to use the product code to go on free trial anyway
But um, I'm not 100% sure how this would work on Steam
don't think you can go back to trial if you own the full one
I'd see if you can download the FFXIV free trial on Steam and if you can you can make a NEW steam free trial account from there
is it possible to hotbar duty actions?
Yes
how
probably would need to make a new steam account if u want to play the trial with steam
There should be an option in the main commands menu
maybe but it's worth trying to do what I said to see if you can actually get away with doing it on the same account
Duty Actions are in your A&T menu somewhere
which option would it be :o
The thing is when I download the free trial it just downloads the normal launcher
you can drag them from there to hotbar
maybe I'm blind and not seeing it
lemme load my game, I'll find it if you don't find it first
The thing is when I download the free trial it just downloads the normal launcher
well
I see two options then
okay
- new steam account
- just get the non-steam version of the game
Where do I get Lali Ho?
Oh, idk what either of those are, so guess I can't yet
Right it's a Shadowbringers zone
What about the Bees Knees dance I keep seeing ppl do?
Does this mean I need to wear any Helmet with Mole Brown Dye, any Chest with Soot Black Dye, any Pants with Soot Black Dye, and any piece (regardless of item/dye/etc) in all other slots*?
and the earring
is bozja armor ilvl 500?
But yes
wait wut, I bought mine and they're 495?
no upgrades?
the augments dont upgrade the ilvl
Started using macros but something is wrong with mine, I searched online for reference but I still need to press it twice for it to go off
/action "Raise"<t>
<wait.1>
/em is raising<t>!
/macroicon "Raise"
I swiftcast manually then use the macro
Thanks for all the help guys, I ended up just installing it off steam. There were too many issues for me installing it on steam 😩
i just unlocked archer and holy shit this is some healer-tier snoozing, does it get better once you get bard?
It gets better when you get the songs and procs
guess ill grit my teeth then zzz
no heavenly, it just gets more complicated
I'm not sure AbsolutePhoenix (don't want you to think you're getting ignored) - would there not being spaces before the <t> cause an issues?
All the jobs are kind of boring until you hit late 40s/early 50s
none of the jobs in the game hit their stride till much later on
After the game froze during the dungeon and I had to force close the game, now Final Fantasy XIV will not run! Every time I open it, it freezes upon launch! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
yeah but at least other jobs have 1-2-3's or something, archer is just spam heavy shot and refresh dots
Casters especially
Bard and Dancer are heavy on proc's, well not heavy but they have a few so their rotation isnt a simple 1-2-3
@calm phoenix reboot computer
Hm, I thought I read somewhere that having a spacve would be an issue
If you want a more straightforward RDPS get Machinist
I'll try with a space
as theres no RNG in its rotation
Well rn there's issues without the space before, so idk if it could get worse with them (to clarify I know absolutely nothing of macros, and just tossing out ideas)
mch is what im doing now, im just getting brd lined up once i cap it
i get a class to 50 then its on the "do roulettes" cycle while i line up another class to start them after i cap the first
Started using macros but something is wrong with mine, I searched online for reference but I still need to press it twice for it to go off
/action "Raise"<t>
<wait.1>
/em is raising<t>!
/macroicon "Raise"
What error do you even get?
I think it's just the issue with them having to press it twice for it to go off
I can't see anything that looks wrong except put the wait on the same line as raise
The "pressing twice" thing might just be because macros don't go into the skill queue
So it's different from your other GCDs
Am I just so ugly he won't even accept my participation?
Passion for Fashion, I see it. Thanks!
I can't see anything that looks wrong except put the wait on the same line as raise
Ok, I'll try that
Do I need a space between <t><wait.1>?
is there any purpose to duplicate field notes in bozjan?
Turn them in to the historian for lockboxes
No there isnt one
I'ts just the text shows but the cast doesnt go off
Have to press it again
What are you casting at?
Dead people
Nope
/ac "Raise/Ascend/Resurrection" <t>
/p Raising <t>
This is the correct macro, did you use something like this?
help where do I unlock this
at least, the first of the containment bay series, it's not in mor dhona or idyllshire
My new one from the advice given
/em is raising<t>!```
@gusty pasture
The warring triad starts off in Ishgard in The Pillars with https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Gods_of_Eld and then you go to Mor Dhona afterwards
Ishgard? alright
You should do it in party chat instead
you would probably want the wait in a raise macro since if you're spamming the button (which you probably should be since macros are dumb), without the wait you'd also spam the chat message
Tbh I have no idea wtf is /em lol
Ah true
custom emote text
I just copied and removed the swiftcast

And removed the fancy garbage
You can use party chat yes, alliance chat is also useful for raise macro's. But many only use party chat for it.
What is <se.2> in macros? Whenever I'm in a dungeon, and someone uses a macro for some reason <se.2> always shows up with their text and idk if they just messed up a command or not
Sound effect
Sound effect but idk what to hear amongst everything though
I see
Any way I can fix my mistake? The mistake is I... I sorta... Sold it.
Even if it isn't I can't find it anywhere
Oh yeah I should have specified. The sch cap
which one?
there's also a command /isearch
which you can use to find an item if you hadn't sold it
What SCH cap in particular?
Lvl 45.
You finished the quest that you got it from right?
when an item says in red "disiciple of war" what does that mean? I cant use it?
Yeah that's where the problem comes in
Disciple of War just means any of the physical damaging jobs
means its for a physical combat job
only a disciple of war class can use it which are all the non-casters (tanks, melee DPS, ranged DPS)
oh ok
Try checking the buyback menu at any vendor after you do the isearch
is there auto loot on all mobs?
I did the + quest yesterday but I DID NOT gain ANY rep from my dailies today! I know that it goes up to level 8 because my brother-in-law is at 8. 8 is allied. Does anybody know what the problem could be?
hey guys, when u server hop from a full server to a less crowded one (say tonberry to kujata); can u still go back to tonberry knowing it might be me full instantly after u leave?
You need all the other Beast tribes at trusted
Before you can go further
ARR beast tribes are wack
@bleak lake There is autoloot period
If you kill something and it drops something it goes straight to your inventory
No manual looting needed
Hey , i haven't start the game yet and i would like to know exactly how job work. I want to do a Paladin , and i see that to unlock it i have to do a gladiator lvl 30 and an elementalist lvl 15 , but do it mean i have to do 2 different character ? or there is a way to grind multiple classes on the same character ?
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
That's old info, only need the base class to 30
so i just need to do a lvl 30 gladiator , do the classes quest and " sylph management " and then i got the quest to unlock my job ?
Which EU server is most populated?
and what are those " class quest " exactly ? is there many of them ?
okay thx
Class and job are interchangeable
guess it will be easier to underqtand once im in game
i see
You go back to them every 5 levels for a new quest (in ARR at least, it's ever 2-3 in expansions). And you NEED to do them to get new skills
Ontop of xp and occasionally gear
they unlock the majority of your skills
Your current job quest is tracked via the main scenario tracker
Under the main scenario quest in the tracker
so if i goes from gladiator to paladin i stay lvl 30 ?
since paladin is the upgrade of gladiator
if i'm not wrong
Yes, but if you decide to switch to archer for example, you start over at 1
Why is it every time I list materia on the market board, the price always drops daily until I end up taking it off because it drops to less than it sells to NPC? It eventually goes back up, but the same proccess occurs putting it back up again.
Because thats what happens when you enter an oversaturated market
People want to clear their stock out quickly so they lower their price to be the lowest
Oversaturated?
Materia is a dime a dozen
What does that mean I am asking
It means their is way more supply than demand
It means there's too much supply
When there's more supply than demand, price goes down
So I am better off just selling it to NPC, basically?
Or transmute at Mutamix to try and get Crafter/gathering materia which occasionally does better
What grade materia is it?
is there some kind of xp boost to buy?
You can buy a skip to level 70 and thats it
oh ok
Transmute is taking 5 materia and turning it into a different materia. Rarely you'll get a materia of a higher tier. You do it at Mutamix at the camp north of black brush station
Wh does the wait time for Containment Bay P1T6 keep frequently going up? It was originally at "12 minutes" and now it says 25 minutes. It is NOT the extreme version
well it means 12 minutes was the last party waiting time approximate
@calm phoenix that's just how the queue timer works,
it tries to guess how long it'll take but is wrong on almost all accounts
who knows what's the current time gonna be
Can I get to 2000 RP for Mahjong with just the Novice Mahjong?
What's best if I want to be a white mage? (which I'm assuming is the most like a traditional healer?)
conjurer, thaumaturge or arcanist?
Only Conjurer becomes White Mage @fiery falcon
White mage has to start as Conjurer
Hello! I’m new at FF14. Do you guys know how to choose bunny as your race ?
it's okay
Moltres its the same answer everytime you ask. The queue timer is an estimate that is usually wrong
@haughty kettle You need to own Shadowbringers
And white mage is the best(?) healer? or?
white mage (conjurer) is the only healer you can start at lvl 1. All 3 healers are good, just different playstyles.
yeh, play what you like
it's not the class the makes it the best
it's the player
Alright thank you! xx
class is just a tool
@strange coral Ah okay, thank you! I only have the free trial.
yup
jobs are somewhat balanced
you can easily change between the 3 healers anyway
so play what you like
It's ultimately up to player skill how well something does
you aren't stuck with what you chose at the start
dam, how do i return my wall into the default apartment wall T_T
just realised can't paint partition
after you put on another wall, the "default" goes into your inventory
yeh i think i sold that one
you can buy them from the housing vendor if you sold it

No clue why it kept going up. Queue popped after 10 minutes which is less than its original estimate
Estimates are barely ever correct
Just ignore it
Like we've said all the times you've asked
well means the last party got in with that timing 😂
eh, not really
Estimate = Guess
*a very bad guess
if you got in earlier, means it starting to get busy
Average wait time is based on average of the wait times of the last few people of your role who queued and got in.
It's based on data.
estimates are usually fairly accurate. But if you're queueing for something that's not actively queued for, whether it be due to whatever instance it is, or time of day, you can see a bit of skew
How does that average change whiled queued then?
why i can't see it anywhere
other people get in or it adjusts based on how long it's been since the last time.
Obviously it can't be 100% accurate
weaver best one?
it's an estimation based on data.
as the night moves on the people queueing and the number of people online changes
and maybe the average is just based on several one-offs and you're the unlucky one who was too late to get into a quick burst of instance pops.
Whatever happens
My internet company customer service has more accurate wait time estimates than the game does lol
you don't need to come in here and complain about it.
It's the same as every other time.
you can also have like, 7/8 people in a party queueing for something, and filling in one person goes quick, so the estimated wait time gets pulled down
ffs Moltres, you always get the same answer about that kind of thing
then the people after that won't have the 7/8, and so they'll see the wait time go up as you wait longer
is there a way we can get a bozja instance ID?
No
Well, I ask because not all duties are created equal. As you said before "that duty tends to have long queuetimes because nobody does them"
Yes but you're not really coming here for help, you're coming here to complain
Over and over again about the same issue
What has been nice is that the research facility has been under a minute most times. Probably because of those pursuing Shadowbringers relic. Really helps for getting both retainers on ironworks gear.
Can i pm someone to ask about some concerns about the free trial ?
You can ask here, that's what the channel is for
Nope
yet i read that u can play untill u are a certain level
Up to level 60 now
im vonfused...
free trial is unlimited time
comfused..
The free trial has no time restrictions, just gameplay restrictions
reading outdated info
you get a free 30 days of sub time when you first purchase and register the base game
would it worth actualy paying a subscription before lv 60 ?
Thats personal choice
If you care about the social restrictions, yes
if you don't want to be subject to the restrictions from the free trial
But that is up to you
If you want access to Free Companies and the Marketboard then yes
social restriction like ?
if not then you can wait
I think so. You get retiners, FCs and all that I jumped right in with a subscription
!faq freetrial
Not being able to create parties, not being able to add friends, not being able to use the market board
stuff like that
first link there has the restrictions that you have when on free trial
i wont be able to create partys but i will be able to actualy enter automatically created ones from the dungeons right ?
yes
yep
thanks man
the 2 biggest ones are that you have no retainers which hard limits your inventory, and you are capped at 300K gil
soo i can be invited but not make pt's myself right ?
yes
ye
perfect timing cypher lol
hey everyone, what's the best way to get crafters levelled up from about 60 to 80?? I think I heard beast tribes are the way to go but I wanted to ask
Anyone know what to do with the bozja field notes duplicates? I always get a bunch
Best ways are levequests and Ishgardian restoration
Oh and when you hit 70 there are the turn ins at Eulmore and crystarium
You mean from levemete?
yea
leves easily give the best xp but you have a limit on how many you can do
once they run out Ishgardian Restoriation is 2nd best
@azure dragon trade those in to the resistance historian for lockboxes
ty sora!
I thought that levemete were for DoW or DoM?
They actually remove combat leves by stormbloodd
@little swift ty!
Because combat leves suck
Does a DoH & DoL need to be at a certain level for levemetes?
no
Be within the leve range
Depends on the area
there are leves for crafters and gatherers starting at level 1 and going all the way to cap.
Just have to go to the appropriate levemete for your level.
HW onward you can just get them from the major city per expansion
Where can my wife find levemetes for level 15 - 28 crafters and gatherers? I am sure that she would be happy to know this information
Can someone tell me what the Duty Recorder does? Is it video of your fight?
Basically, but only for very specific encounters...you need to use the Duty recorder ready check to use it AND all recorded data is lost on the next patch
Its a very poorly added feature
Pretty sure everyone forgets it exists and laugh when they see it mentioned on maintenances
Can I get to 2000 RP for Mahjong with just the Novice Mahjong, or will I have to do Advanced Mahjong at some point to reach the achievement?
Is there other HW extremes outside of Warring Triad? Because it says that the last is a demon but that is less extremes than number of birds
don't use macros for abilities Tig
Ravana Bismarck Thordan also extremes
How to have good dps as samurai
I have those three
Also Nidhoog EX
Niddy ye
So just gotta click on party member and heal as normal is better?
How do I get Nidhogg extreme? I beat him in regular version
I feel summoner deal more dmg than my samurai
I'm prettu sure to get rating you have to play matchmade ranked games @open rivet
Have you plugged your logs into xivanalysis yuki
Whats that
Talk to Alys in Mor Dhona for Nidhogg I think
Hard to say what you need to improve if we don't have any idea what you're doing
@little swift both novice & advanced are ranked
Fflogs and ACT are your parse programs
Nobody in Mor Dhona has a + quest other than the repeatable one
Legal?
And xivanalysis takes that data and gives you a basic overview of what you can do better
Grey area
Don't talk about it in game or harass others
Yeah that kinda thing
Ah
I think whatever gets you matches and wins should be fine @open rivet
I still need help. Nobody in Mor Dhona has the Nidhogg extreme quest and I HAVE beaten the story version
Have you walked into the building the rising stones entrance is at
Check your quest journal, you might have already picked it up
It says to speak to the wandering minstrel but he has no quest for me
It is not in my journal
He doesn't start the quest. It starts with Alys and then she tells you to talk to the minstrel
This is all he has and it is NOT Nidhogg. It is Bahamut
Except I do not
Very closely
? what
Screenshot
Because you have a extreme bad habit of missing shit infront of you
Check your duty finder too, make sure you didn't already unlock it
How much of the story of ARR is salvaged from FF14 1.0?
Not there either
It continues the story of 1.0
Wait I see the problem
Getting through the patches between ARR and HW and starting with the latter, it feels like the patches do a much better job at setting up the story for the future. Frrls like ARR's story is a bit disjointed from the rest
You need to do a little more MSQ Moltres
A few more quests, after Litany of Peace, then Alys will have the quest
But I beat Nidhogg in the story
ARR was done in a very short amount of time and you notice that in a lot of places (still an impressive job considering everything that surrounded the development of the game)
Doesn't matter, it requires Litany of Peace
But yes, later patches and expansions have a much higher story quality
Or quality period tbh
is there some kind of wardrobe in the game? how did it work
would it be smart to order the starters edition if i am on a budget
doesn't matter
If you are on a budget I recommend playing the free trial
Free trial and starter edition are the same in terms of content
the trial just comes with certain social restrictions
Then yes, starter includes everything up to lvl 60
Which is still plenty of content and therefore playtime
So if you wanna split up the purchase there you go
and i plan to get shadowbringers for my brithday
I have a Ishgard Restoration question, on phase 3 with mining and goldsmithing, but I cannot find the skybuilders mats when mining. Googled and see that these are in the overworld, but still no luck. I probably missed something, ideas?
@bleak lake There is the glamour system and attached to that the glamour plate system. Which is basically a way of storing certain templates of outfits
It's accessible in every Inn via the glamor dresser, assuming you have unlocked glamours already
oh ok will check it out thx
Even stuff like skybuilders' molybdenum ore? Because it isn't listed under "approved"
You gather everything in the diadem
Then you approve it by the npc next to the entrance
Ignore phase 1 and 2 rwceipes
You physically cant get those mats anymore
Hey, is there any way to have a macro automatically place a ground targetted ability at your mouse location? For example, NIN's Shukuchi or DRK's Salted Earth?
Like I know using <mo> you can place it on a target, but is there a way to place it free form like that?
Ah, kk that's what I thought. Thanks!

Heya, so I just got rank 10 in Southern Front and I'm really not sure how to go about organising a run of ||Castrum Lacus Litore||
My understanding is that it pops just like the CEs. When it does people usually start using shout to make their groups
(I haven't done it myself yet, only R9)
Right, I spent like...6 hours last night in various instances and never saw it pop
So I assumed it had other requirements
Needs enough r10s in your instance
Its not
With more people levelling there's usually enough people for it to spawb
And people ofteb make parties prior to it spawning
I see, I see
Then use yell inside to coordinate
There are plenty of parties to do lacus litore
Just shout you're looking for party
Include your rank as well
I just really want the gear but it seems like I'd need to do like 10 runs of it for the set
5
And there's no other way of getting the gear, right?
You get 5 for first 2 bosses, 10 for last, +1 per prisoner saved
Ohhh gotcha, I appreciate you clearing that up
What are the boxes I'm seeing on the loot tables for?
What is the little square box by my name in the party list?
its the party leader symbol, if u joined through duty finder it will be assigned at random
or do u mean the numbered box
It was level 50/60/70 dungeon roulette and it is the first time that it was by my name
The party leader is who the game asks to recruit more players if someone leaves
And yeah, it's entirely at random
Highly unlikely that it's the first time it was by your name.
It's just the first time you noticed it.
Maybe it was the first time. I am not what is considered far in the game. I just hit level 70 though. 10 levels above where I am supposed to be. Is a certain level required to be assigned at random?
No, its completely random
Can someone be the party leader if it is their very first dungeon?
Its completely random
completely random.
I have full confidence you have been party leader before and didn't notice
It takes no other factors into account
because it's inconsequential.
Does it also give me the right to start a request to vote abandon/kick from party?
No, anyone can do that
All it does is give you the prompt to refill party if someone leaves.
Its only use is to press the yes button when someone leaves to begin looking for a new party member
Does a sale happen on the complete edition often? Its almost holiday season in the US. I want to buy it but would be awesome if it went on sale.
Is it possible to make a hotbar global to all Jobs? So I could have a hotbar for buttons to switch the various jobs?
do healers have a rotation or it just depends on how your group is doing? (more dynamic)
Healers put up their dot and spam their attack when they don't need to heal
@runic totem yes, character configuration > hotbar settings > sharing > tick which hotbars you want to be shared.
by default hotbars like 4 through 12 are all shared I think
Can I do player search for players from another world, same server, to add them to friend list?
When I name a character thus nobody else can have that name, is that for the entire datacenter or just world?
I thinkg you are limited to your own world (need to travel to use player search)
the world
how long is the time limit to confirm friend request?
I mean I can search players lets say in Famfrit if I am in Famrit even though I am from lamia

Is Containment Bay Z1T9 the last of the warring traid fights?
Yes
Thought so
do you guys ever use raw intuition if nascent flash is available? I mean I barely use it now
I just traveled to the world of another player but player search is not finding him
can one player block to being found in player search?
if you can't find them via player search they're either not online or in an dungeon/instance
It can be that they're offline or in an instance
@fast hull if you cannot survive the thing because it does more damage than your hp you can ri otherwise healing through it with flash is fine
@wheat plume usually either in a dungeon or offline
wait you can search offline players?
no
is ther a way to send friend request to an offline player?
no
MTQCapture does good videos on duties. However, those are the synced guides. Is there any unsynced video tutorial videos for Heavensward extremes? Things are different unsynced. But certain mechanics can kill you. Is there any videos? Even if they only cover the most common mechanics that occur unsynced?
There isnt really many unsync videos or guides around
Unsync doesn't change the mechanics
goes over ARR/HW/SB exs
Just changes which you can choose to ignore
as well as Savage/Coil
Is 26 minutes normal for Containment Bay Z1T9 (not extreme)? Is this one that people do not do anymore?
should I nocturnal helios and swap to diurnal pre pull
some would argue the reverse
You can
But
When you get Celestial Intersection
You dont need to
I personally don't switch sects
why not save celestial for later though
if you wanna be big brain, yean you can do noct helios/benefic before a pull
I just stay dinural in 4 mans
Celestial Intersection has a short CD
don't have celestial yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why cant I invite a friend to the linkshell I created, yesterday I saw the option but now it isnt. (Im in my world)
Is 26 minutes normal for Containment Bay Z1T9 (not extreme)? Is this one that people do not do anymore?
@calm phoenix
It is an optional trial. And it is Heavnsward as well. I remember I waited quite a while for the queue to pop.
I remember I waited maybe 40 min for Sophia (Containment Bay P1T6)
Cure Potency: 200, duration: 15s -- does that mean we get 5 ticks of heals, each 200 potency?
Is there a decoration discord? I know the housing discord has a decor channel but that's only one :/
When does make it rain start?
I wish they would add a way that told you what mount someone was using. Saw one but can't find it online. It was a mech mount that had the player sitting on top and there was a control module or something on the top where the player was.
@leaden ginkgo was it a tech ball or a more shiny sphere
Did it look like a flight suit @leaden ginkgo
Not a ball
oh that's probably gabriel then
