if you don't have stormblood your choices are thaumaturge or arcanist
because there dps is not as high as summoner and black mage
which become black mage and summoner
so which class should i choose?
whichever
whichever sounds more appealing
Arcanist or Thaumatugre or Red mage
one is considered hard
if u like a challenge play summoner
is finishing shadowbringers main scenario requried in order to do yohra raid?
summoner is only harder at the higher levels
Yes
this is my first time playing a game of this style so im just doing what ever the game is telling me lol
THM/BLM has to use its kit to avoid mechanics hurting its damage, SMN has a harder base rotation but can do a lot of damage on the go
then get them both
by all means try them both out
Copies the Lost actions that the target has and completely refreshes the charges
I think people haven't tested it buuuuut there is something
"My friends tested Mimic on each other, it only copies the active actions, not the spirit, and it doesn't bypass restrictions. Tank had lost slash, friend as a healer copied it and cannot use it."
It didn't seem like mimic itself got changed or anything
But I don't think anyone has fully tested it
Hey guys I’m a free trial PC
Especially since mimic is rare
Anyone knows a good place to get CD keys ? I don’t have too much money rn 😭
And I really liked the game
newegg, greenmangaming
Greenmangaming or Newegf
Thank you! I will check it out. 💕
Hello, I just got my first job (White Mage) and started to get a lot of abilities so playing with key settings I tried using a controller and it's just great. With muscle memory I can do everything fast. Mi question is: How far can you get using a controller? Are other jobs harder on controller?
Very far
controller is fine
You can clear everything
All jobs are fine om controller
For this recent step of the relic quest, can you abandon it and pick it up for another weapon and still keep all the memories/progress?
Make use of the extended hotbar and wxhb to access 3 hotbars at quick notice
Yes
You rarely ever lose items in your direct inventory
Just had to be sure. It takes a hot minute to get them all if you aren't HW Fate farming :p
your mother must be proud
Shits quick
Thank you. I was scared to get used to using a controller and when I get to higher levels I had to change to keyboard.
the game is made to be played on ps4 so
Do I need to buy a permit again when relocating a house?
No
thanks!
I think Mimic only copies skills with charges left
Not sure, can't test it yet. Only R12.
But i can test it once i am R15 ofc.
(Sadly you can only get it yourself by rescuing all 6 hostages in Bozja Castrum)
Does someone has a list of the mettle required for ench rank?
does ppl do pvp cause i am stuck in the q for 30 mints
Not really
Paladin question- my defensive rotation is Rampart and Sentinel with Sheltron in between to cover the gaps?
And reprisal and Arm's length
for shadow bringer
Arms length just slowing mobs down?
where should i fate farm at 61?
Right
Also actively use Hallowed
Right
Does the argumentation for the Bozja gear also drop in Castrum?
yes
It just occurred that PLD seemed to have less defensive powers than I thought it would
It has the passive block for extra mitigation which adds up alot
Fair
Plus it has more tools for supporting the party than other tanks
Doesn’t GNB have passive parry too?
All tanks have a passive parry
Paladin has block as a extra
Paladins just have a better one?
after i get 20 of X memory for the relic quest, will that type stop dropping?
Nope it'll keep dropping as long as the quest is active
so i can get unlucky in bozja and end up with 50 of one type and 0 of another?
Depending how much you farm each zone
And drops
Potentially
The rates are decent especially in a party all farming mobs
I find that drops differ depending on where in bozja you are
Because different areas drop different memories
i finished the Heavensward ark but my Allagan Tomestones of Phantasmagoria
is 2000.. how can i go to Eulmore to use them?
great.. im fked than lol
@sharp meteor
Tortured drops in the south section, Sorrowful in the middle section, and Harrowing in the northern section.
Bitters drop in all 3 sections at a lower rate

Is it fine to meld materia viii on ilvl 480 or 490 gear or hold on to them? I recently hit 80 and am wearing full neo ishgard gear, starting to get crystarium gear?
You can use grade 6 materia as cheap reusable melds
They have a 100% chance of getting back from the gear
Unless you don’t mind the chance of failure for retrieving grade 8 materia and replacing it
what about grade 7?
grade 7 is worse than grade 6
Those should only be used in overmeld slots due to ^
interesting. ok, thanks!
personally I just meld grade 8s in everything
you get a boatload of them from just one hunt train
if you are wearing full neo-ishgard or augmented ishgard you may as well meld 8s
since crystarium gear comes very slow, and it also depends if you plan on doing savage or not
you'll probably be using augmented neo-ishgard for a while if you don't do savage
well, there's also the argument that there's not really any reason to meld at all if you don't plan on doing savage
yep, one coin per week
1 from each (1 a week from Puppet's bunker)
in addition to the allegory cap to buy the crystarium gear to begin with
means on average you'll get one piece of augmented crystarium every 1 or 2 weeks
depending on the piece
maximum beast tribe quests are 3 dailys right
3 per tribe up to 12 a day
you can get up to 6 a tribe assuming you rank up the same day
12 allowances across all beast tribes
So you can do three quests from each of four different tribes
the last three should be considered free spaces
oh okay
They've already said no event this year but has there been a statement about a few Halloween themed mog station items going on sale yet?
last year's rewards will likely be put on mogstation yeah
But doubt they'll do a sale on them specifically
Darn I really want the some items but they seem pretty pricy for digital items

hey, I'm waiting on the 2nd part of the coeurlregina fate in Twintania,, is it guaranteed to happen 4h after the first part?
weather is the same, no royal levin 
use centurio discord for those fates
@cyan fable they dont need to
unless they each need to aggro something
a good personal rule I like to follow is to let the main tank have tank stance on for like 20-30 seconds
so they keep aggro
then turn your own stance on so you can get aggro right away if he dies or adds spawn
/\
I usally do 5-6 GCD buffer before I pop Tank stance
While you can just provoke and turn on tank stance if MT dies
It is just easier to turn on tank stance a few GCD into the fight and leave it on
Let them wail on it for 6 GCDs before you tank stance in turn
yeah
do your opener and stuff
maybe 1 rotation of your combo
then weave tank stance in
I usally do it RIGHT after I use confitior
That's my okay. I have no burst that'll steal agro now
So anyway: other tanks don't need to have tank stance, but it is good to have on as safety net just in case
I figure I'd try to find a discord and see if I could get some help my account was hacked about an hour ago and I recently got back in and checked everything and filed a ticket and now my account is basically acting like its banned is there anything I can do cuz I've been stressing for a good while trying to figure out what to do and nothing is giving me answers
yea the upgrade was added
where to pick up from it ?
If you haven’t started the resistance relic quest series at all the first quest is in Kugane at the market area
what's up the red chocobo and spams in reddit. Is there something special about it

So anyway: other tanks don't need to have tank stance, but it is good to have on as safety net just in case
Basically yes.
It makes tank swaps easier.
It makes grabbing ads easier.
Makes accidental deaths not a disaster
just use lost reflect and his attacks dont work on you
The only... really bad part about it is...
- The rotating meteors. Sometimes easy to mess up when cross comes up
Do the paladin artifact head gear and the level 80 sam set face mask work on vieras
- People standing RIGHT in the safe spot for the moving meteor attack
as long as it doesnt cover the ears it should work
- Standing 2 inches too close to the center of the map and the proximity markers killing you
still waiting for the update where my vieras ears will pop out of my dragoon helm
hey wat does this mean 
Gotta go do a quest
you need to do the quest "Bird in Hand" at bentbranch, central shroud
Outside of Gridania
Big old chocobo stable and such
And they'll give you the ability to do that
@drifting burrow you can't stable your chocbo yet since you haven't completed the quest my Fiesty Chocobo (a way to let your chocobo fight/heal you)
i have 
my feisty chocobo is not the quest that unlocks the ability to use the stable
its Bird in Hand, like i said
ah sorry that
okie thank you
when do you use consolation? should it be used everytime or emergency healing?
I just spam it
What nier automata items are u able to get in the game?
Is there a suzaku minion?
Even if you dont need the healing, the shield is useful too until it dissipates.
yes but its from shadowbringers OST
What nier automata items are u able to get in the game?
The pod as a minion, glamours like 2B's and other role dependant designs based on YorHA operators.
Probably dymb question, but, I've seen it mentioned to have augmented neo ishgard gear, however, how do you augment it? Do you need to get it pre-augmented or do you buy base then augment?
So I'm in Dragonsong rn, got a good number of lvl 60s and stuff, but I kinda want to start a new class. is going hunting log -> duty roulette/dungeon spam the best way to get levels early on or is PotD like the fastest way if starting at lvl 1
how can i preview fish in aquarium?
you exchange Neo-ish gear for Eulmoran Certificates of Novelty, and use that plus Undersea rain bought with phanta to augment the gear @hazy shadow
You cannot buy augment neo ishgard. To augment crafted gear, you gotta trade it in to rowena for some seals and trade the seals for the augmented version
Ah, I see. Thank you.
@fast talon yeah usually 1-15 hunting log and 15-60 potd? 🤔
unless you are a tank/healer
should note that the amount of tokens you get is based on what item you're exchanging and whether its NQ/HQ
I had some pieces of neo-ish already but wasn't sure how to get the next step for them.
weapon/chest/legs gives 42 tokens per HQ
You grind to 15 for satasha
Is it worth getting augmented or do you just go up to the next tier?
once you have enough tokens and rain, talk to hillicen
its up to you, they're decent hold over while you work on getting puppets/allegory gear
If not dungeons, potd is fine from the start
@patent citrus Is PotD leveling effective even if youre just doing it with pubs and can only do the first ten levels, or would it be better to find a party
Sounds good, thank you.
What is the armor term for each class
Okay, thanks.
that or they mean fending/striking/maiming etc
Tenacity? I am not sure
can someone tell me how to get to Excavation Tunnels to unlock the new alliance raid ?
you are right about fending? "to defend"
oh if you mean the tag on gear then its:
Tanks = Fending
Drg = Maiming (slaying accessories)
Mnk/Sam= striking (slaying accessories)
Nin = scouting (aiming accessories)
Brd/Mch/Dnc=aiming
Blm/Smn/Rdm = Casting
Whm/Ast/Sch= Healing
i will wonder why the melee dps have their own individual classes. even monk used to have their own before samurai.
I think nin main stats is dex right?
dragoon is suppose to be more heavy armoured type
and monk/sam is str
nin is also a dex user and not str
Yes
I need item level 240 set or gear, how can I get? Besides msq
buy shire gear in idyllshire with poetics
Is that the best I can do? Also when will msq give me better armor?right now I'm on griffin griffin on the wall msq
the shire gear is the best set of gear you can get for HW
Shire gear is good enough until lvl 65 dungeon
msq wont give you better gear until around 64
in the main building in the center
in the big building in the middle of town
so im not super familiar with potd, i just did it once to try it out before, but to unlock floors 51-60 i'd need to get to floor 51 from 1 with a pre-made party, yeah?
no, you unlock the 51-60 check point once you clear floor 50
doesn't matter if you do it with a matched or fixed party
floors 1-100 can all be played with duty finder
its floor 101+ that you need to be in a premade party to do
If you're in a non-fixed party at floor 100, that save is done
oh really? i must have watched an outdated video then or something, cuz i saw this vid that said you can only do floors 10+ with a premade.
that or i just misunderstood it.
probably misunderstood it
they were most likely talking about floor 101+
okay, quick question, do i need to be with the same group of people that whole time? so like even if i use DF, it would need ot be with pubs that want to climb that whole range
no, must be fixed party
if you go in with a match party, its going to throw you with whomever each set of 10 floors
fixed party is the only one that has to be the same party, every single time
i see, guess i really just misunderstood it then, will give it a try later
yo, it's me, back again with another question ... lol.. what point can I access Dravania? I assume it's locked behind MSQ?
so just to clarify, say i cleared floors 1-10, which i think i did already, if i do queue potd again i can queue for 11-20 with DF?
@oblique trellis if you mean dravanian hinterlands its MSQ locked, the forelands are not, you can travel to them via western coerthas
unless i got the names swapped again which i tend to do my b
I can't even seem to get to western coerthas yet...at least from Ishgard, the gate is locked
yes you can continue to floor 11-20 with matched party option
If you just queue in potd without exiting it'll take you to the next story stop, which is at floors 50 and 100
forelands are absolutely msq locked
@oblique trellis oh then yeah, keep doing MSQ, you'll unlock western coerthas and another area through them
you'll got to the forelands around lvl 52 in the msq
is forelands where tailfeather is, cuz i absolutely went there before i was supposed to, tho i was under the impression Five had western coerthas unlocked
(So each 10 floors in sequence queue)
Yes, tailfeather is in the forelands
I just got to HW
Yes
but the way to it is not made available until you progress msq far enough
and did a tour
@left moth @twilit arch okay, thanks for all the potd info, guess i'll work on that over the week so i have a way ot level my lvl 1 classes
yeah, i thought they had western coerthas since its unlocked pretty early. but once you get that you can just travel to tailfeather tho it is a looooong trek
(Once cleared potd 50can restart from there outside over and over again)
yeah thats my goal, i asked earlier whats the best way to level fresh jobs and someone said potd 51-60 on loop
Ahh
Hi guys I'm just starting to download this game. Anyone know what server has a major English community or even Filipino players? Thanks 😄
All servers except JP speak english predominantly.
I think most aseans are in tonberry or kujata
Oh and the aussies too
This does mean being in a JP server though so its up to you.
check your ping on each server if you could
!faq serverip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
in ps4, i did something and i can no longer run
Yea i found between JP and NA is about the same for me.
Alright I'll do that thanks guys. Elemental is JP right?
@bold trout Tonberry and Kujata have the largest English speaking community in JP, I know most PH players congregate there as well.
@fast talon that's good to know. I read somewhere that it's hard to create new characters in Tonberry?
Yeah, it's almost always full.
yes, very hard
tonberry is full atm
Primal ocasionally attracts Filipino players but I couldnt say which server since its been a while since been in touch with that community
Tonberry is currently congested so char creation is impossible.
so you have to go to kujata if you want to be in JP datacentre
Though you can always just visit other servers once youre in a different server
Kujata's your best bet.
I guess I'll go Kujata. Is server transfer possible though?
how can I enable run with stick in ps4 again?
yeah with money
Yes, $18 USD for a transfer
if you dont mind playing with non-pinoys, you can always go onto NA servers where everybody speaks english
full server transfer is possible but costs money, theres also a server visit function which is free
but you can server visit freely within your datacentre
So you can go play on Tonberry all you want (just can't be in a Free Company (player guild) there)
Running by default on controller is a matter of pushing the analog stick further then half way/walking
What datacenter is NA?
Aether, Primal and Crystal.
Aether, Primal and Crystal
@bold trout gonna assume youre PH, i will say lag can sometimes be an issue connecting to JP, though I've noticed using a VPN helps reduce that.
Running by default on controller is a matter of pushing the analog stick further then half way/walking
@left moth Yes, but I can no longer run even pushing the stick to the maximum
@wheat plume if you have a keyboard for chatting, you may have accidentally pressed the keybind for toggle-walk which is numpad /
and knowing how inherently inconsistent PH internet can be idk if connecting to an NA server will be much better
@wheat plume is the controller sensitivity setting modified?
@fast talon I see my ping in elemental is 65 I think I'll go ahead and play in JP. The other 3 are 160+ 😅
@wheat plume if you have a keyboard for chatting, you may have accidentally pressed the keybind for toggle-walk which is numpad
/
@jade quartz thanks, it worked
Yeah we have bad internet here 😦
Nvm
you have a good internet
come to australia
we will give you the worst internet for developed country
thats a fair modifier
oh there's Aussie datacenter too?
no
i guess for a, i guess let's say less developed country, it aint great. but considering AUS is suppsoed to be 1st world you guys have surprisingly bad internet
Nope at least not yet (not likely)
and tonberry or NA dc
Ahh ok I just got that now LOL
thats part of the reason why kujata is bursting at the seams
me and my friends decided to go Ramuh because it was a preferred server when we started
yeah no one here speaks english
oof
i play in NA DC because of my internet couldnt handle JP
sort of lucky im a weeb and can read some JP lol though i cant read kanji to save my life
ew weeb
In making an account I should choose Japan then or does that not matter and choosing datacenter is in-gamee?
your account should in EU
i think
but your character will be in JP datacentre if you desire
doesnt matter what account you choose
as long as the version of the game you buy is the same region
if you buy the game
@bold trout if youre PH there's a facebook PH FFXIV group that might be able to help, i think making your account EU will be easier down the line and is actually cheaper when paying for subscription
i live in SEA, i have an NA acc, i play in the EU datacentre
also in SEA, have an NA account, the only major issue i encountered was that i had to provide an NA address when I wanted to buy the game, luckily I was able to use a relative's
oh i just used 123 beverly hills
<.< i should have pick NA account instead of EU haha
Ohh alright I'll go for EU since it's cheaper loool
This is only gonna be an issue for you down the line if you decide to buy the game (and the free trial has a looooot of content so its gonna be a while) but I know that some ISPs in PH have issues when it comes to buying the game, when it happened to me I used mobile data and it worked fine.
Just throwing it out there since it caused me an afternoon of frustration when it happened to me and I thought i had wasted money for it to not allow me to buy the game.
I have a quest that won’t show up.
@whole wasp lol i was worried about using a fake address since it also wanted like postal codes and stuff
@fast talon got that thanks 😄
I receive an email for confirmation code but don't know where to enter thaat lol
I've set up a PF for the Dying gaspsince it's late ish where I am but no bites so far, is there a better way of queuing up for it so that I may move forward in msq?

Does anyone know how to get a quest that’s not showing up to show up?
Nvm I’m dumb. I found it already picked up in my log….
I checked my log before I asked here, but I didn’t see it. I checked again and there it was….
@hazy shadow idk that quest since im not in ShB yet (just did a quick google to see it) but if its an MSQ quest wouldnt it be easier to just duty finder instead of party finder?
i admittedly dont know anything about it cuz, again, only in HW
oh oof
PF seems to have done me some good, thankfully.
Anyone can help? An email has been sent but it doesnt tell me where to enter the confirmation code
I honestly dont remember since I made my account a year ago, have you tried the mog station?
Can't login since I dont have an account yet
Okay, so I decided to make a new SE account with a temp email (hoping that's fine) and I got to this page after registering an account
@bold trout
Alright I may have to make another email 😅
yeah idk waht happened on your end
Is it possible to transfer an account to another email?
but from this page
after putting in the details
it immediately sent me to the page where you enter the code
How can I get the glamour recipe?
Yeah I don't know too but I'm sure I messed up 😅
I'll just transfer the SE account to my main email later on
can you transfer? that im not sure of
but hey whatever works for you
if you have gmail its not super hard to manage multiple emails, i did have to make a new email to play ffxiv for various reasons, but i can understanding wantin to use your main one
Yeah if I can't transfer I can just use the temp one
after hitting rank 10 in Bozja, what's the point of going higher?
Thanks for the help man. Now I have to check what job I'll start with
some fragments require being higher rank to use
will probably become more relevant with part 2 in 5.4 too
Higher rank also lets you carry more lost actions/items at once
gotcha, ty
How can I unlock the recips for making Glamour prisms?
theres a vendor in vesper bay
you might have to do a side quest from the lady in the middle first but im not sure
I went to mhor dona because it says its there but also other forums say its in thanalan
so uh im trying to level an alt job, just trying to know if theres an updated way to get to 15 fast, i've done hunting log and it left me at lv9 and im not really sure where to go from there
Get a friend to help you with hunting log
if you did the glamour unlock in vesper bay, then you need to do glamour prism unlock in vesper bay
But don't party with him
Levequest or potd
potd, leves are not good for combat jobs
You punch the enemy and your friend should kill it
the only vendor i bought the glamour prisms recipe from is in vesper bay, but you might have to do the dye/glamour side quests there first
1-16 is the most annoying one
theres like some lady siting on a bench asking for juice or wahtever
yes, you need to do the quest "Absolutely Glamours" to be able to buy the recipe
Okay I've come to bring a little question
Does 80 blue crafter set from silver script is enough to make neo ishgardian sets?
I'm a tank, what do I pull with in e7s?
Are dungeons or PotD faster for leveling up to 50?
dungeons, if your queues are 15mins or less
Dungeon from command mission is faster
How to lvl up crafters and gathers up to 70?
i did leves to level mine from 1-50 and then quests from 50-60
idk if it was the most efficient but i had a ton of allowances and a day to kill
but i reckon ishgard restoration is probably faster if you have access to it
i do not, hence, leves
leves are still very strong for leveling, though the main downside is they're limited by how many allowances you have
If you have money / DoL, firmanent is a good way
restoration is good because you can be fairly lazy with it
Does jinpu apply to higanbana
Ye I need gil
Does jinpu apply to higanbana
@ornate gale yes
It applies to everything I assume?
was asking cus a rotation guide had them do shifu before jinpu
and I was thinking wouldn't you do attack buff over sks
hey so i logged in my character but im in a cell with 4 walls and i cant access the menus or anything lol did i get banned? i dont have any emails from square
Sounds like you're in Mordion Gaol. If you wait around a GM should eventually come talk to you
i see, ill try waiting around hopefully not perma banned lol
Hello im new to this game and i just got it of Steam but i cant find this registration code , anyone know how to get iit
how can I unlock the Scrip Exchange NPC in the Crystarium?
it's there but it doesn't accept my scrips
I think that one wants the scrip quest in Eulmore done
@ocean tiger should be in the CD Keys section of the game somewhere within the right-click menu
When you look at it in your game library
yeah that gives me the product code and that doesnt work
@ornate gale you do speed over damage to get through your rotation faster and generate kenki quicker.
there's a cursed opener wehre you jinpu first
@ocean tiger that code should be the one, where are you entering it exactly in the mogstation?
but its not somethign you should be considering at this time
in general shifu > jinpu
because your subsequent weapon skills will recast more quickly
more casts = more damage
@obsidian patio i dont see where they ask for the Product code on Mogstation.
Yeah thanks, I read up on the guide more and I got why @faint flare
I have a question about treasure maps, if I have a map that opens a portal, can I add someone to my party after I defeat the chest and open the portal to bring them in the map dungeon with me? Or do they have to be in my party during the chest part in order to be allowed into the portal/dungeon?
so i only started playing last month, do seasonal events come back and do they always have the same rewards? i saw a glamour from the valentine's day event this year and i want it, but obv I missed my window by quite a bit.
Should I always try to use true north before gekko and kasha combos?
Only if you can’t make the positional requirement
@fast talon previous year rewards get moved to the mogstation when the current year’s event is about to happen
@ashen garden they need to be in the party before you spawn the chest
I see. If it's similar to the ones that are on the mog station now, do they tend to be cheaper? Like I see the glowsticks emotes and like the beach wear are all just $5 when mogstation outfits are usually 10+
For the most part, yeah
Guess I'll have to wait then
Should I always try to use true north before gekko and kasha combos?
@ornate gale always? not really, usually you can just move to the correct position before hitting it. true north can be used when you know you can't hit the correct positional
get into the habit of executing your positionals correctly instead of relying on just true north
@ocean tiger try following this and see how it works out for you. https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=76363
i dont play melee dps too much but when I do I always wonder if youre expected to land positionals when playing solo
like if theres a tank in a party its doable, but in solo content enemies are always just facing you unless they're casting something

Why are dungeons so easy
You can’t hit positional when 1v1 unless you stun the target
Because dungeons are the most casual of content
They're designed so anyone can beat them
In terms of the difficulty scale for instanced content they’re pretty much right at the bottom
I just wish they made wow like dungeons too
New symbol, wat mean?
its from your hunt bill
ty
Both CD keys i was given are said to be invalid
where did you buy them from
steam
Can you screenshot a picture of this part of your mogstation for me?
are there Lv70 DoH armor sets that I could buy with scrips?
I was informed TBN is less useful at higher ilevels because it’s harder for enemies to pop, is that accurate?
No
not really
I'm at Eulmore, but they only sell the weapons
use it for tankbusters
handking is from rhaglrs/kugane
Whwn you use it, its gonna pop
eulmore is for 71+
It only loses value if you're doing content that's substantially easier than your gear, in which case it's no big deal
Eulmore sells handking weapons
oh, I guess the armor set is where you say
oh nevermind, it was under the armor tab
thanks
@obsidian patio i dont see where to find that page but i sent u a screenshot of where im stuck at
(They’re still in the trial, for context)
So you can’t use the code after clicking “add new service account”?
Ignore the stuff about PS4 players above the button since that’s not relevant to you
no
i cant
it even says in red that Product code cant be used to register via mog station
other than crystarium gear, are there ways to get i490 accessories? maybe from trials or raids or something
Upgraded neo ishgardian
You can also use augmented crystarium with regular crystarium
Neir is one weekly piece of 490
nier doesnt drop accessories
How do I sell items on MB?
are you on the trial?
no
Do people still do dragonskin map?
hire a retainer
What's the minimum ilevel for the new Shiva fight?
430
oh okay, thank you!
@honest anvil not really, most people just focus on the current high end map for treasure dungeons
That being Zonureskin
thought so :<
so what’s the best way to find 7 more people to do a map with me? just PF?
Is there no item sync?
2 free ones
do they share the same bag
They're kinda like a bank for this mmo?
Yep
$2.50 per month for each extra retainer
Oh damn
@obsidian patio its says there in red the product code cant be used
I don’t know what to say. I don’t play the game on steam/PC so I can’t give any personal experience or advice, basically everything that I’ve been saying has been from googling.
ahh okay
Another question about retainers, after you make one. Can you delete them after if you want to make a new character
for retainer
You can, but instead of that you should just use a retainer fantasia.
real money?
They can be purchased on the marketboard for a few thousand gil.
ohh
Thanks for that!
I'll keep that in mind
Also, I just put something on the MB right now. When it sells, where do I collect the money? From the moogle?
or my retainer person
Your Retainer
also unlock retainer venture asap
so you can make your retainers get items for you to use in crafting
Oh, thanks for that! I'll do that right away.
Is Machinist good for a starter?
You can't start a new character as a machinst--you have to get to level 50 and progress MSQ until you can enter Ishgard (first expansion) first
But if you've gotten to that point
then yeah go ahead and pick it up.
I enjoy it a lot since you have a big freedom of movement as well as good solo damage

@bold trout if you do want to do a machinist, it might be useful to start as a archer/bard since they have the same role and will share the same armor, so you won't have to get new armor when you get around to unlocking a machinist (assuming you keep your old stuff) though they play pretty differently
anyone able to help me with crossbreeding plants?
Alright thanks guys for answering 😄
Can I get all Relic weapon ingredients through tomestone of poetics for like Anima weapons?
Is there any way to make hotbar a have different things for different classes? 1, 2, and 3 all change when I change jobs. But 4 stays the same and I’d like 4 to change
uncheck the shared hotbar in character config > hotbar > sharing
Ty
I keep seeing images of samurais holding their sword backwards is that a mod?
no, male pose for idle stance with sword out is holding it backwards
/cpose
Didn't the samurai that taught you said holding that way was bad
yes he did
because rule of cool
didn't even realize the poses were different based on gender
I didn't even know /cpose with a weapon out was a thing
is the main priority of new players is to complete msq before focusing on other stuff like alt jobs and doh/dol jobs?
I'm of the opinion that it's mostly your call. Maybe do MSQ up until you get access to the three starting cities so you can have access to all the base classes/jobs. I imagine focusing only on MSQ with one job (esp ARR's MSQ) could cause burnout
its honestly up to you
we generally recommend focusing on the msq first because it is required to unlock pretty much everything
but if you're not having fun or you need a break or just want try out other jobs
Go for it, there's no "you must absolutely it it like this!" way of doing things
i usually try to complete the msq as fast as possible since who knows when 6.0 will be announced
6.0 isn't going to be for another year at least
if im burnt out i usually take a break before switching to another job
its not not happening anytime soon
usually expansions are released every 2 years?
Yeah
i think that's enough time for someone to complete msq from arr to shb
Coronavirus put a 3-month delay or so. Assuming no further delays it’s likely coming in august/September
im already at 4.1 in msq
6.0 is most likely going to be some time aug/sept
so really there's no need to rush at all
i heard yoshi p will announce 6.0 in feb
might
does yoshi p foreshadow the new classes in new expansions by wearing a shirt?
the shirt he wears gives out a hint?
Yep
i heard for sb, he wore a scarlet witch shirt, and it was to promote red mage
may not have the normal hints and teases
Yep, for DRK he wore Batman, and for MCH he did James Bond(IIRC)
didnt he wore something a bit vague that hints samurai?
Samurai was Spider-Man as wordplay on the director for the original Spider-Man movie trilogy
Sam Raimi
i didnt play 14 yet back then, but i remember hearing that yoshi p hinted at samurai by wearing a spider man shirt and i found that hilarious.
oh there it is lol
Guns and gadjets prob
is there still issues for ps4 players of logging in?
with regards to the msq thing, i figure it wouldnt be too hard to breeze through the msq if you just focused on that but theres a lot of side content that i've been enjoying with friends, like extreme trials, optional trials, and hildebrand quests
Are there any easy/fast way to obtain huge amount of elemental shard/crystal/clusters?
i heard hildebrand quests give out stuff like emotes
Gardening
If you want lots of crystals/clusters you’ll need to do aetherial reduction
they're also hilarious imo. humor is subjective but i literally laughed out loud at the ARR one
Or just give in and buy them from the marketboard
yeah sometimes when im lazy ill just buy like 10k crystals from the MB
not clusters yet tho since i havent needed them as much
clusters i just mine manually
Aren't they unsellable?
if clusters are unsellable than that's that, i woudlnt know since i never checked
but crystals i have bough in bulk in the past when im lazy
esp if im planning to mass craft dye or something to sell since those usually cover the cost
You can’t sell them to vendors, but they’re still tradeable on the marketboard/direct trading
Ah
theyre usually cheap on the MB but people sell them in massive bulk so it still ends up expensive
omg, I'm not even halfway done with Hildibrand ARR quests? Crud.. didn't know it was this long 😄
its really long but honestly i enjoyed it more than most of the ARR MSQ
they go through every expansion except shadowbringers
god i still hate the company of heroes quest line in ARR
already finished ARR... was trying to spread out the quests...but now that I look it up, I'm still in ARR Hildi content
uuugh
Oh well
Hildi's quests also have great fanservice for FF fans
This is a horrible relisation, I've been leveling all my professions to 30-40s and outta nowhere it tells me I dont have the crystals
do you need crystals at that level range i thought you only needed shards
30+ is when recipes start needing crystals instead of shards, yeah
shards are mainly for low level recipes
never realized. well if youre really needing of crystals a botanist/miner can gather them. theres even a skll that increases how many shards/crystals/chunks you get
I'll just buy them then. I enjoy crafting, but I hate gathering
if you've unlocked ishgard restoration/diadem
when you new game+, does it count some sidequests and change dialogue? For example, my first time in HW meeting the Azure Dragoon was before I finished Dragoon lv1-50 quests. Now I done the dragoon quest new game+ that part, will he recognize me?
you can also blow up sprites in there
but that's...not really that great of a way of getting them. like wynne noted, aetherial reduction is by far th ebest
yes it does @plain python
quick question, to get things you can use aetherite reduction you need ephemerial nodes, right, then why not just mine the clusters directly
do you get more via reduction
if I new game+ crafter quests, do I need to craft items again?
Wouldn't Dragoon just be 30-50?
well, you have to do Lancer 1-30 to access Dragoon anyway 😄

is it better to just single-target rotation when there is only 2 enemies left?
My friend said all Lancers do is jump in the air, land in the middle of aoe and die.. is this true?
bad dragoons maybe
their jump skills is target-approach skills
so if you rush into AoE, everyone would die 😄
for dragoon, they are heartily animation-locked in those jump, so be careful :3
You mean like RDM skill where to dash in to melee and dash out?
only 2 of their jumps approach the enemy and stay there iirc
their 30s jump makes them jump back, though I'm not sure if they will get hit if the aoe happens when they land
Dragon fire Dive and Spineshatter Dive
30s jump is a ranged attack.
The character isn’t considered to be actually moving from its original position.
well suppose I should grab Lancer to mix among my "fresh" classes
Think I'm gonna do Astrologian next tho
whatever you want. Healer/tanker class easy to get queue 😄
they have a bunch of jumps
jumps to appraoch, jumps that appraoch and go back, backwards jumps
what's liked more in general, Bard or Monk
wym liked
I have more respect for people playing monk
Liked, by ppl more
I’m trying out bard right now (only at level 27) and started off playing the game on monk. Not a big fan of monk at all. So… many positions.
as in fun to play or as in liked by other teammates?
Bard gives buff, but I don't like their RNG-ness with their own skill, lol. Monk can be fun but requires you position a lot.
I belive based on observations that overall range physical mains are overall worse players
fun to play
^
Unless you enjoy positionals I guess
its not the positionals
I find Ninja fun. Their skill feels snappy
every GCD on monk is a positional
and pgl
I find bard to be pretty chill ngl, i mean im only like lvl 60 so who knows if it gets worse, but theyre chill so far
Draggoon is positional past lv50
how do I get gear from the lvl 70 ala mhigan armor set
Not as much as monk, though.
dragoon only has 2 positionals like every other melee
Monk is positional at lv1 onward, lol
@hasty musk centurio hunts
are appartments also auto demolished?
no
Dragoon only has 2 positionals and from what ive seen they're not even super important until after HW
cool thanks
when you get that one skill that changes your first attack depending on if you landed your positional
its blood of the dragon
and to be bard I need to do Archer first?
yes
Yes
yeah archer -> bard
Which is what I’m doing now….
I have to ask, is bard necessarily helpful high level or more so fun?
all classes except sam and blm are helpful
does krakka root affect chocobo's color 
Raiden Thrust was the one i was thinking of which is apparently ShB
No, it’s just for training as far as I know
where you need to land your positional for it even to be used
wait, why not SAM and BLM? Aren't they top DPS?
o thank u
they have no raid buffs skills
selfish dps
they don't offer party utility?
their party utility is being top dps
@leaden ginkgo apartments have no auto demolish function
does Leyline only affect BLM?
only affects the blm that made it
are there ffxiv housing decoration discord servers?
Ppl don't get mad and rage quit if you queue as sam do they?
no
no, who do that?
im sure most people dont care unless youre like super hardcore world record/speed runners or whatever
^ you can do "normal" content just fine with every class
@leaden ginkgo apartments have no auto demolish function
@twilit arch so probably apartment is good to keep my decorations safe?
yes
you can do every content just fine with every class
in raid statics people could prefer other classes but honestly I think even that depends on the static
preference is just preference
what utility or advantage does a rogue give?
okay ive heard that term a lot, what does static mean? is it just a pre-made party
trick attack is arguably like the best utility rn aint it
statics are basically groups that aren't FC that do the Raid Content together on a regular basis
@fast talon a group of people who get together at set times to do content
*mostly Raid
yeah I meant not "exclusive" to one FC
yeah
so basically yeah a pre-made party, but one with a schedule? is that makes it unique
sure?
just found the term static weird, never heard it before
this games terminology is wack
like in the context of a multiplayer game
like in other games i would call it a stack
like a 5-stack in a shooter or a moba or whatever
where do i go to spend white scrips 
If you’re in an eight man raid and you’re a tank do both you and your other tank turn in tank stance?
when i talk to the scrip exchange people they dont have the option
@spare plinth not at first
you pick a main tank and then the other one turns on stance after a bit
So after a few seconds?
can you make your estate teleportation not available?
housing menu
So I imagine tank pulls boss and then 5 seconds later turn on tank stance?
Mt pull five second ot stance
yes so you don't accidentally out dps the main tank and take aggro
Ah I see
If I do OT I decide mostly per Boss if I need my Stance. If no Adds and mostly no danger of "insta-wipe" I don't turn it on and focus on DPS.
seen it to often that i do to much DPS and get aggro from the boss in randos
turn it on after your burst phase in the opener
what happens if you misfeed your chocobo when dyEing
just 1 thing doe
dyEING
HECK
is it noticeable?
@remote lintel are you sure I won't get aggro later if I do more dmg than the other Tank? I feel like it happens
dunno its rng what color youll get
you shouldnt if the MT has more than 4 brain cells

well. it's duty finder
so I always assume they are basically a bot
maybe even worse
well id rather risk it than the MT dying and i didn't have my stance on
hmhm. well it probably really depends. in normal duty finder stuff even if the boss losses aggro for a few moments the group usually doesn't wipe
i would recommend having it on
Which profession crafts gathering necklace?
I can't seem to find it in my crafting log
probably goldsmith depending on the necklace
necklaces I assume goldsmith, but just look it up on a wiki
all in all. I do Tank stance as OT depending on the circumstances. Sometimes I even steal MT. It's shitty but
I will point out that lvl 59 gathering necklace is leatherworker so it does vary
if you mean the standard edition yes
the collectors edition includes the standard edition in it
I miss not flying on my mounts 😦
how can I perform emotes without showing text in the chat log?
I don't think that's possible
turn off the chat log thing in the emote window
other people see it too?
I've seen some players perform emotes and I don't see it in my chat log
there’s a toggle in your emote menu to hide text
Also add “motion” after your emote for the same effect
great, thanks!
yeah, about to ask the same question. I secretly sneak petting on fellow Lalafell and wonder if they see that.
so /pet motion for stealth
if you don't see it in yours then they don't see it either
I just made myself HQ Aesthete crafter gear, but have no idea when it comes to materia. Anyone have a handy guide?
prob in #doh-dol-lounge
is there a few who likes to play healer? i mean weird insta que
It's that and also that there are just 3 healers
healers usually get instant queues yes?
In SB it used to be the tanks getting instaque if I remember correctly
hi at level 55 botanist, what collectables should i focus on? i treid to do coerthan tea leaves but i think they have respawn timer?
;-; sorry its my first time doing collectables so im confused
I think I read White mage is the most popular class somewhere. Its just theres so many dps players healers are needed.
popularity data isnt going to be that accurate
As a warrior how can I carry my weapon on my shoulder like I see some players do?
^
@signal pumice I normally choose based on what will give good exp/scrip per turn in and how high the collectability has to be. Go to Idyllshire or Mor Dhona and see how much each item gives. Also make sure you're able to actually get a good collectability out of them.
I think that most jobs have different idle poses for different genders tho
Also I'm pretty sure every collectable that you can turn in has a respawn timer.
Garland Tools is your friend
yes idle pose depends on gender
for the singing cluster weekly quests am i allowed to accept the quest once a week or am i allowed to finish the quest once a week?
Like the dark knight male one you put sword in shoulder and for the female one you put it in front of you
like if i take it one week and wait till next week to finish it do i get to do it again?
I get my gather item to lv55. The better one is from collectors' scrips?
yes
yes
alright thanks
just making sure
is there a fast way to get poteics points
i bought this powder 3 times
i am missing a 50 point
you dont need to buy crystal sand with poetics
thavnairian scalepowder ?
Is there a place I can go to, to find people to do a trial with us?
party finder
? what trial are you trying to do
normal?
extreme
Thank you very much

do you guys know how dark knights rest their sword on their shoulders?
i see them all the time
but mine doesnt od it 😮
its the /cpose for male dark knights when they have their weapon out
if thats what youre talking about
awww man
is Final Step of faith the extreme version of Step of Faith, or is it MSQ-related?
character isnt male lol
yeah ive just come to learn that males and females have different weapon poses, even victory and battle ready poses.
kinda neat but also disappointing if you dont like the one your gender has
found this video that had the ones for all classes pre-shb, dont want to make a blanket statement or anything like that but a lot of the female ones seem to lean more on the cute anime-esque trope, though DRK isnt one of them
yeah
a lot of the female ones seem to lean more on the cute anime-esque trope,
not wrong sadly
and some are just plain different like mnk
one that stood out for me was scholar/summoner/arc
male dragoons get the iconic dragoon pose you'd see in all the promotional content
female dragoons... don't
yeah that was one of hte first i noticed
when i saw the male one i was like "Oh hey its the iconic dragoon pose" but when my friend, who plays a female, tried it we were like, "huh its different, weird"
isn't Dragoon stance is Kain from FF4?
yeah but its pretty much become the iconic dragoon pose
(you can see it in the icon of Battle Litany) 😄
hell in the heavensward cinematic trailer [character] is in that pose when they're revealed
they should just make it so we can toggle between the poses
dont wanna give any names just in case
yeah, it is what it is sadly
I have a question
im currently farming the memories of the dying
i collected 20 but now they're not dropping anymore
do i need to deliver those 20 first?
Oh for FATEs I can’t say for certain. I got all of mine from Bozja itself
And you’re getting gold rating from FATEs, right?
With a good group it’s decently fast, but you need set-up time to get to Rank 8 to get the 3rd type of memories
@obsidian patio ok so they're dropping again but only the one i already have 20 of
do i need 20 of each or just 60 of one type
2 random questions: what is the green thing next to my name in game and how can I find a list of guilds on the server?
20 of each
then how do i get it to drop the other ones
But getting more lets you stockpile for more relics
They’re zone dependent
!faq memoryfates
ohh
that makes sense
god i should've done this when i was farming for the jibanyan couch
its 100% drop rate on gold rating in the fate
getting memories from HW fates is significantly faster than bozja
you can get all 60 memories in under 2 hours
you could also in theory farm the hw relic luminous crystals as well
