thanks
Do the Durability Draught and pots conflict? Is the durability draught useful while doing endgame stuff?

Is Dancer a difficult job?
I was told the same thing about red mage haha
Dancer is pretty brainless
Half of dnc is related to procs
If it glows, press it
All the ranged physical dps are pretty easy
how about scholar ?
Eeh
It relies on you predicting dmg before it happens
I find Scholar to be pretty braindead during pulls
Scholar is all about resource management
Its not on the same level of easy as whm
Target the tank, spam Art of War, use oGCD heals when you have to
Boom, you've learned Scholar during pulls in dungeons
That's hard for alot people
Esp if they came from only whm
Anything is easy so long as you actually try to learn it
None of classes in ff14 are hard
scholar is proactive rather than reactive
reactive sch will get you a lot more awkward situations than whm
simply because it doesn't have as much resource to play with
however due to the sheer amount of its kit being oGCD it's one of the simplest healers to get high dps uptime on
^^
Hi guys, what does it mean when a gear piece has a blue X on it?
can i buy the stormblood dlc on mogstation
you can't buy stormblood by itself
You don't buy expansions on the mogstation. You would have to go to the store for the platform you own the game on
And you would need to buy shadowbringers now instead since it comes with stormblood
Blue X, I believe, is usable by you but not on the job you're currently playing.
For example, if you have Dark Knight at 80 but you're playing White Mage, then tanking gear will show up with a blue X.
As opposed to a red X which indicates you can't currently equip it on any job or on your current gender.
@karmic veldt Thanks Spooky. Any idea why I am unable to trade these blue X items to the Grand Company?
Depends on what kind of items they are.
If they're starter or artifact gear, you won't be able to trade those.
Because you can repurchase those at the Calamity Salvager.
@karmic veldt Should I instead just trade them to a merchant then to get at least something for them?
Perhaps, or if you like the look I'd recommend storing them in your glamour dresser.
Depending on what kind of items they are, you might even store them in the wardrobe in your inn room.
But that's because I always try to have a few glamours on my characters, so if you're not into that you can always sell or, if the merchant won't take them, discard them.
I appreciate the response 🙂 @karmic veldt

is there any way to check last online in friends list?
Not that I know of
ok ty ty
How do I tell a Levquest that allows bonus items from the ones that arent
Where do you buy the potions to break you out of stun/sleep and such for PotD/HoH?
main town npc sells plenty

@elder sinew pomanders are obtained within potd
the only pots you can buy are ones that give you a regen effect, for potsherds outside the queue up point
iirc.
so, pretty sure it's not the right place, but,
why do people tank phlegetron in labyrinth of the ancients in the center of the arena,
instead of closer to the "start" of the arena (usually Point B)?
It can't be walking duration for the players, since both points are the same distance (A/C aren't at the centerpoints of the circle, but closer to B).
When he's in the center, he instantly starts his castbar for ancient flare, while he has to walk when at the other point.
the walking would give him a clear tell that he's about to cast ancient flare, giving people more time to react.
I mean it doesn't matter where you tank it. Just run back to pads during ancient flare
you have plenty of time to react to ancient flare
Yeah
that it ultimately doesn't matter.
I've seen people wipe often enough on it
that is far more likely greed
I have as well but you should be paying attention to the enemy cast bar, not whether or not he moved to the center
If people are wiping on it then they're not running back to the pad
Which is extremely common
Ideally, people tank it near marker B but it seriously doesn't matter at all
kk
Are the US servers as populated as EU servers?
Iirc there’s a shortcut to enlarge an active window on PS4. Without the need to go to settings. Anyone knows?
Thanks!
How to decrease it’s size/scaling?
And can we enlarge skills information window?
Are the US servers as populated as EU servers?
@fiery falcon
To my knowledge they are
EU does have 2 less servers than NA tho (and anorher DC)
An EU player may have a better answer an i do
I'm an EU player but my two American friends are going to try out the game. And we're kinda unsure if they should stick to NA servers or come to my server
They can most def play on EU with no problem
But playing in the evenings may be better for them if they intend to play on EU
afaik the NA servers have a higher absolute population (which is kind of easy with one more data center)
But EU has a higher density, though both are fine obviously
Player numbers really aren't an issue for this game
Yeah
Alright thank you so much 😄
i forgot eu had only 2 DCs I had to fix my answer whoops
@fiery falcon US servers are more populated than EU
well actually
they're around equal
but i see more endgame content on na servers
otherwise they're more or less equally populated

How do you set up your chocobro ?
Yes, Free, attack, tanking, heal, follow
Oh they'll attack whatever your attacking
Mine is low level but i have 2 skills on attack and 1 on healing
When they rank up then they'll do whatever skills you give them
Idk much about how to set up the "perfect chocobo" tho
I just know that it'll do whatever skills you have it for and it'll attack whatever your attacking regardless
In any setups ?
I don't wanna give you a bad example because I know very little on chocobo set ups but most of the mentors should know more than I do
I have my chocobo set up as a healer but yet again I do not use it often
generally the recommended tree is healer, as its by far the most useful
yeh, just healer lv 10
that said, you could do up to choco regen and then into attack, or go to choco cure and hten attack
but for the most part, putting everything into healer is the safest choice
I unlocked choco regen and then i went on attack
as for the stances, its best to just leave it in free stance
i started mine out as a tank because i was a healer myself
is there a name given for the period of time that you're unable to activate multiple oGCD abilities ?
tank 'bo isn't very useful because even as a healer you can pretty easily rip aggro off of them
clipping? 🤔
I'm leveling up a tank atm so i thought i would need more dps since i can heal with one of my skills
clipping refers to clipping your gcd though
What's an example of a period like that?
having healer skills on the chocobo means its can do some what decent healing while you focus on dpsing
on DRG, abilities like Lance Charge, Dragon Sight, Battle Litany, etc. they cannot be activated at the same time even though they're all oGCDs
all skills have an animation delay
practically any job w/ multiple oGCDs has the null time
That's just the inherent animation delay
which is why you generally can't weave more than 2 skills per weave window
DRG does suffer a bit more from that than other jobs actually, at least with some skills
yeah, can't double weave with jumps
is there an exact amount of time for this animation delay, based on data mining or something? or is it all different because they're all different animations?
since those have a fairly length animation
The healing of the chocobo is 20 per 20 for me
You can either weave one skill between GCDs or two
categorizing them like that is enough
Its about 0.7 seconds on regular abilities and ogcds
Jumps are just shy of double that
question, there is a ring from bozjan southern front that gives you 10% exp to level characters outside the front?
thanks!, where do i find the challenge?
thanks!
Are there any consequences for picking easy mode in a story mode duty?
nope, never
Story duties are only for the story
That makes sence
Doesn't make you a good or a bad player if you pick easy
Because I know I did sometimes lol
Sometimes the difficulty is "wow I hope this NPC doesn't stand in too many orange puddles and dies", and it's nice to not have to go through that more than once
Also if I upgrade my classes too early will I miss tequniques like in Pokémon
No
that’s good cuz I’m on my last gladiator mission
Each level in your base class results in a level in the advanced job
or vice versa, however you wanna view it
You not upgrading your classes is a detriment to your party
Because you won't learn important skills
cool
I just wanted to see if there was any reason to not immediately become a paladin
i just got to stormblood, ive seen in content videos theres like this other scratch off that isnt the mgp scratch off but something else, did i miss something or is that going to unlock later
Storm blood looks sick because you get samurai
Wondrous tails, maybe?
yes i think thats it, its like a weekly card i think
!faq wondroustails
Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.
Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.
Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!
thankyou
If I already have a resistance weapon, can I get a second one?
Yes, just start the quest again with another job
all the other ones will cost you 1k poetics for the initial step though
ok! Thank you!
I know this isnt necessarily FFXIV related but what are 2 redundant letters in the english alphabet? C is because we have K and S. Is there another?
Y could be called redundant, since i exists.
Why would you ask that question here, though?
It's a really circular thought pattern. The link above to Aliapoh's journal combos reminded me of cyphers that can be used in cryptography for D&D. And so then I got to think about how there are only 24 of them, but 26 letters so what letters are redundant.
C, J, and Y could all be considered redundant.
But C and J are probably the ones that are left out.
#not-ffxiv-discussion just sayin', this channel is for FFXIV questions and help
You are correct, of course. 😄
any house designers on chaos data centers, hit me up pls
The best part about designing a house is doing it though
Has anyone done a comparison for the DoL i490 set versus the i470 one?
I was trying to figure out how substantial the difference might be
Without looking at the skysteel grinds and possibly the higher GP, is the difference that great?
With a fully melded facet set you're still short a bit of stats for some of the legendary node bonuses
Having aesthete will make a difference
20 ilvls is significant
Any higher level tips for playing SCH in dungeons/trials for someone who plays a ton of WHM and AST?
Is MCH the only jobs with steam punk/modern like clothes?
The entire neo-ishgardian crafted set is steampunk themed
Use dissipation @halcyon sentinel
I see, I'll take a look
Adlo yourself prepull and deploy off yourself to give the tank a free shield after theirs expires
So for my skysteel +1, I gotta craft 20 HQ of the firs oddly specific item, then for my skysteel +2, I gotta craft 30 HQ of the second?
Yes iirc
Yes that's correct
how does skysung compare to aesthete hq? iirc both are 490
And you still need to craft some collectible-like items for the next upgrades if you want i500
oh okay
Total minimum scrip cost for all 4 steps is 4840 scrips
cool! The aetherflow kinda trips me up still. Feels entirely counter to whm or ast. That adlo tip is really good!
Step 1 is augment +1
A fairy a day keeps the doctor away. (From SCH, the fairy eater)
on the other hand, i'm struggling with leveling my whm lv 38 -_-
Step 4 skysung
Relic has a bit higher craftsmanship but lower control
Thats the tank dying to final sting from bees @patent citrus
Kill the Damn bees
Skysung is a budget melded aesthete
the animation makes me uncomfortable..
Its good but if you can afford it aesthete pentamelded is better
whm
About 30 less control iirc
Probably too specific a question, but any advice on how to stairstep my way from full HQ facet (not overmelded) up to HQ Aesthete? I guess I'll probably just need to make some non HQ aesthete to get my stats where they're needed
Jus buy some aesthete pieces imo
Aesthetr has more of all stats
They are not expensive expensive atm if you server hop
You just cant pentameld@autumn oriole
What should i do with all these materials and weapons i get from farming mount in extrem on ARR primals ?
won't skysteel tools eventually become better than aesthete tho?
If they add another step yes @gritty oracle
i got credits
I’m comparing relic with melded aesthete(the high control version)
thanks!
Ofc pentamelded is better
And it has about 30 less control and 20+ more craftsmanship
Yeah that's obvious if you're putting melds in
Is there like, a list of the general consensus on the best melds for it? I wanna see if these overmelded pices on the MB are properly done
But on their own a budget melded aesthete is less good than a skysung
Depends on what breakpoints you're after @silk summit. #doh-dol-lounge has pins that link to balance suggested melds
Yeah if you want to use aesthetes over relic, better meld it with the best melds possible
Great, thanks
I personally skipped aesthetes main tools since relics are more futureproof
Can you leave a guild/company if it turns out it's not your cup of tea anyways?
is there a penalty?
ok
there's no penalty in leaving a free company
now how fair am i form starting heavenswards i am on the price of principles
79 quests
You also need to finish the MSQ called "Sylph Management"
If you haven't just keep doing the msq
cerberus what do you mean 79 quests
you have 79 quests to go
the price of principles is the first quest after ultima weapon
thats stupid
After the main base story of every expansion
i want dark knight class already
they said they removed a bunch of stuff
so I've seen there's bonus windows for the light step of the zodiac weapons
where do I see what they are?
They removed stuff but its still long
Yeah they pruned down the whole 2.0 to 2.55
no
ARR is still longer than any other expansion
no way to see which instances are bonus for the window outside of running the instance @radiant summit

Hello I just recently completed my combat classes. Is there a guide here for basic crafting/gathering. Thanks in advance
go to #doh-dol-lounge
huh
Complain elsewhere @leaden ginkgo
i am party sure its not freaking 79 more quests
It is
unless you spend money for a story skip
at that point it's kind of a waste
true
it's like 2 days worth of playing
This isn't the channel to complain ya know
Pay $25 on the online store
i only have 16 dollars
do the story
tough shit
Nothing we can do other than kinda deal with it and play the story
I mean if someone isn't willing to stay for 79 more quests then idk if they would be willing to actually read the story
For drk
bingo.
Can you share an apartment or is it only single owned?
single for apartment
Is there a way to "backspace" in Teamcraft if I misclick a skill?
I don't do squadrons as much as I should, and forget half the stuff..why is it telling me "Any inactive chemistry will be lost upon commencement of a mission"
Something about being able to lock in new chemistry traits if you want
do both players need to be present for a marriage to successfully happen?
idr how to do that
yes, both players need to be there for the wedding ceremony
You can use the new chemistry to replace their current ones now. But you can also commence a mission and lose the new chemistry if it’s not assigned
what's the fastest way to get my zodiac light level up?
tam tara normal or ifrit normal are the usual suspects
ifrit if you have fast loading times, tam tara if not
If the new chemistry is better than the old one, replace the old one now. Otherwise skip the new chemistry
I read somewhere that ifrit normal gives you next to nothing
is it still worth it?
tam tara and ifrit both give rather low amount, but you can do both quite quickly
so they make up for the low amount of light in the fact that you can do several runs in a short time frame
like ifrit dies in a few seconds
Does anyone play ffxiv at 1440p 144hz with a ryzen 7 3700x?
i know thats a bit specific but
I see what you mean
Are glamour plates just so that you can change looks without having to go back to the inn?
Saving them into whole sets saves you time from clicking and applying each item
I'm pretty sure I got one from a quest a while back (lvl 53 now) but.. I'm not sure how to find it?
And doing multiple thingd at once, and having different glamours for each job
Should it be in my normal inventory?
glamour plates?
And they also remain their dyes in the plate even if you dye the items to other colors later
ah so like, if I want to have my normal glamour set and my bikini set to switch between I'd need two plates?
yeah
Remember to link the glamour to your class
ooh ok thanks!
also, does anyone know where that place is where there's loads of water "ponds" where the girls are bathing / sitting in it?
I can't seem to find it 😩
Do you have a screenshot?
sounds like either southern thanalan at the forgotten springs, or upper la noscea at camp bronze lake
noo but it was kind of like hot springs area if that makes sense
that U tribe place in thanalan?
I'm not sure how many girls are in the Kugane hot springs
Definitely sounds like Camp Bronze Lake
Yess thanks!! It's upper la noscea at camp bronze lake! @twilit arch
could also be that though
i just remember being flirted with by a cat girl there

So I've just added a bikini set to my glamour dresser
but they're not there? 👀
Is the story any good? I like lore and stuff, but I haven't seen anything yet, and NPCS a little too much...
what lvl is your msq
I'm still at lv2, haven't progressed much, but I've noticed they talk a lot
if that tells you anything.
Oh cool, so the lore is worth it.. That's better than skipping for me
can you augment lvl 80 class gear?
its a final fantasy game of course the story is good
final fantasy title first, mmo second
do you mean the 430 gear you get for free at the end of ShB? @last tapir
yea
you can't augment that gear, but there is an EX trial that drops a 480 version of your class gear
no one really does that trial anymore though since 480 is easy to get elsewhere
can you dye that gear?
yes
oh cool, do you know the trial?
memoria misera ex
^
Its the ex you unlock from doing your shb relic weapon quest
@normal adder just as a heads up, A realm reborn (base game) is pretty long because they needed a full game to continue dev/funding etc. so it's a LOT of story/character/world building at the start...action starts picking up towards the end of arr and into HW but it's still enjoyable for the first time
but if you like lore, this game is chock-full of it..they also have 2 lorebooks out
Most of thw lore doesn't need external sources to fully grasp
But are good additions for interest
This is unlike say, Star Wars
^^
for the anima relic weapon quest, is it still necessary to collect 70 sand and 70 umbrite?
is that what i need to complete the quest asap?
Hello everyone! I have a question, when does this game go on sale usually?
pretty randomly.
oo I see thanks!
estelle, how do you find motivation to level alt characters
60 to 80 umbrite depending on luck @hallow grove
as a note: steam typically has less sales if that matters to you
^
ive heard that u shouldnt get it on steam cause its just troublesome
@crimson wind the drive to play with new people on other DCs and releveling classes is very fun for me. I also enjoy playing the story again
ic
Its not for everyone
plenty of people play on steam just fine but personally i wouldnt
But I have many friends on other DCs so I would still like to play with them
I see
Most of my friends are on Crystal thus they are my drive to level stuff again
Why not transfer
i like having my alt on the same dc so its not totally isolated
I was contemplating playing another character on a different DC to see how they differ, will transfer if the DC turns out better
I have scattered friends on all 3 DCs. So I dont like neglecting them. I also like being accessible on all 3 DCs
Ah, well do you lose much if you transfer
I guess I need to look up what gets left if you transfer
Exactly. Plus i own a house on Primal now
Like I said, alts arent for everyone
You lose housing
you do not lose retainer stuff or money
Also half your friends list may say "unable to retrieve" if you transfer out of that dc
actually it USED to only let you transfer with 1mil or something.. it is now 999mil gil
Its mostly just housing is what prevents people from transferring
^^^^
I'm locked on Ultros cuz i have a house now so. But I'm very attached to Ultros as a server and even if i didn't have a house it would be very hard for me to transfer
Now its my turn to ask a question
What do I do with my 200+ fae fancies?
Get materia?
Gotcha
^^ new raid tier
i have about 600 i know the feel
Should I still do pixies even after i have all classes at 80
Alrighty thanks Channy
not terrible for supplemental tomes if you wanna farm as dps per se, also ye the fancies
Coolio ty
the fae extreme is level 70?

If I want to go in Bozjan with a cross world party, do we need to be on the same world?
Hi o/
How do I get gil? 🤔
I have a level 80 WHM and now I'm leveling a BLM, but I don't have gil to buy gear every ~10 levels 😅
I had around ~1 mil gil, although I never realized that it goes away so fast and now I'm left with 60k lmao
I think I bought food
Poetics?
!faq poetics
How many people (minimum) can I run EX castrum fluminis with?
24
And I get gil through poetics, right?
Namely Ironworks, Shire, and Scaevan
I meant ||tsukuyomi’s|| trial (EX)
But what about gil itself? o.o
Which are all at level cap for the respective content
When you have no gear to buy with poetics what should I buy? I hear there's stuff for relics that you buy with poetics
The text guide has Tldr for using poetics for gil
I'm always capped at 2k poetics with nothing to buy
@lethal cape you don't :d
@lethal cape you don't :d
I... Don't make gil?
gil is virtually worthless as a resource since it's only use is to skip the grind
everything you can get without needing gil
And on top of gil being worthless, it's almost impossible to get large amounts of now without the marketboard, since the Collectible rework.
The fastest way to make gil is to do stuff like the Domain Restoration and also doing Adventurer In Need roulettes
@ripe hound no it shouldn't matter
Is frontline or Normal roulette any good for xp at lvl 69+?
Or just stick to trials/leveling/567/alliance/msq
50-70 roulette is not good for exp
frontline is pretty decent exp tho, normal raids is ok but not amazing. usually its quick enough tho
nope, it gives normal exp as well. better exp given when you win
Nice
How do you set up the PvP hotbar in open world
Or you have to go to wolves den somehwere
Go to the wolves den
Figures
And its changed to your pvp set up
Dont even know where it is lol
You should have attuned to it. Under limsas ports
lower la noscea if you don't have the aetheryte
So I'm having an issue with MCH. I'm pressing Overcharge in the 2nd OGCD slot, and i can tell I'm not clipping at all, yet I'm only getting 4 Heat Blasts
can you die from fall damage?
only if you've got aggro on something
@mossy tartan not sure if anyone has answered your question but unsynced 3 is minimum
@crimson wind What are you weaving between your Heat Blasts?
gauss/ricochet ofc
Not both at the same time I hope
Heat Blast is 1.5s, so it doesn't allow double weaving
How should I go about getting the basic ilvl requirement for completing the Role quests in ShB? Can I just buy a cheap set of lvl 80 gear or something?
Ofc I'm.not double weaving
If you're not double weaving, and you're sure that you're only doing 4 Heat Blasts, then it's either your ping, the game is broken, or you suck at counting.
Cause they give you access to the i430 gear
I've finished the main story, but I think I got gear for other roles. My ilvl as an MCH80 is only 368. Which is clearly not enough to finish this quest as I just found out.
Level 70 gear is 400 iLvl, so yeah... that's too low
hmm, well my DRK is the character I did all the quests with, and they are only ilvl 421 at lvl 80 using the gear I got from questing
But how did you level your Machinist to 80 with that iLvl?
dailies
Because that iLvl would be shocking on a level 70, let alone 80
nah, have never been in bojza
Doing dailies with that gear.. yeah you need to upgrade asap
Cause that ilvl is way to low even do to Shadowbringers dungeons
How much money do you have?
With your DRK at 80, just go farm eden for gear
what is eden?
Doing Eden with 420 iLvl is kinda.....
Eden gate is minimum 425
Sounds to me like he needs to buy Neo-Ishgardian or something like that
He's 421.
And farming Eden's Gate is a massive waste of time.
He'll farm for a few hours for gear that's pretty much useless anyways
Its the gil free way if he doesn't have money for neo
to bozja!
Which is why I asked, how much money do you have? @last kayak
like 2mil
You can definitely buy a full set of neo-Ishgardian
You can afford a 480 iLvl set easily
You're on Primal... Let me check
Which world?
levi
my DRK and BLM are similarly geared, but they didn't have any issues finishing their role quests y_y
Because they actually have SHB gear :p
Yeah, I'd guess a full Neo-Ishgardian set would cost you around 500k for all slots
I mean the DRK does now that the role quest is done. They were in similar ilvl too.
arright I'll throw money at the problem. Thanks
wasnt sure if there was just a "fresh lvl 80 white gear vendor" like there was at lvl 70
But remember that the pieces need to be High Quality
And feel free to use https://universalis.app/ as a reference
The prices will be outdated
poetics?
You should be aiming for Crystatrium gear
but they're a good reference to go by
No there's no poetics vendor
Phantasmagoria and Allegory
You use phantasmagorias
ty
also this is a cool tool, have been world-hopping like a newb apparently
If you have hq ishgard, just trade those in for augmented tbh I think
It does help out a lot, yeah ^^
That still costs you 500 Phantasmagoria per piece upgrade
Ah yes you can use phantasmagoria to Augment nri ishgard stuff
So its 3000 phantasmagoria to Augment all the gear
It isn't 500 phantas per piece
And don't get neo ishgard weapon
I don't remember I just know its more than 2000 to augment the whole set
Everything else iirc is 300
There's absolutely no reason why you should be buying a neo ishgard weapon at the ease if getting a relic weapon is literally 1000 poetics
If you plan on maining MCH, I'd say get Neo-Ishgardian armour and accessories, then look up how to obtain the SHB Relic Weapon
If it's more of a side job, go with Deepshadow
hmm these prices do not appear to be very reliable..
It is based off of server I believe
thats what I mean. It says excalibur has the pants for ~36k, but the cheapest they have is like ~120k
Universalis basically grabs a snapshot of the prices
Look at when it was last updated
I never said it was accurate, just that it's a good baseline to go off of
I see.
Universalis relies on players using the plug-in for it to grab the prices
So if the world you're on has high prices and not around the 30-50k mark, hop to another world
@obsidian patio how do you weave gauss after heat blast on controller
Spam the button like hell while you press heat blast
that's what I'm doing
It’s a delicate state of spamming
Yeah I have them right by each other
Yeah I have them on the same button but different triggers
Ricochet and gauss, makes it nice and easy
@leaden ginkgo send me your hotbar

is there a default keybind to focus target on PC?
and is a focus target just a soft target? (Have mob targeted attacking, focus party member to heal then can go back to mob without clicking again?)
ok found the keybind, still dunno the 2nd question
Focus target isn't a soft target
It shows their HP, cast and some buff/debuffs regardless who you're targetting
Even if they jump away most the time
You can click the focus target info to target that thing again
Are there big gil sinks in the game besides housing and glam?
@fiery falcon Stealth action as a gatherer
Are there big gil sinks in the game besides housing and glam?
ARR and IIRC HW beast tribes have mounts you can get with Gil, 120k each and generally there are some vendor items that can be super expensive
The ARR relics will also eat up Gil
Can someone plz tell me how to raise your trust npcs level? They're 71
Do dungeons with them
Like repeat the one that's available to them?
Yes
Ye
housing and glam are pretty huge gil sinks though
Okies ty
I'd work on leveling trusts up while leveling yourself
What's the first quest to do to unlock odin fight?
Primal Judgement iirc, but I'm not totally sure
Should be from Urianger in The Waking Sands
Are there any swimsuits I can get? I have the black summer tanga and bottoms but I'd like something cuter if there is anything
mog station
And that set from shisui
shisui?
lvl 63 dungeon
Shisui of the Violet Tides
They clearly meant the sushi dungeon
Its technically optional, but you have to do it for an aether current piece for that area so you should do it anyway regardless
It's a optional dungeon but required for Ruby Sea aethercurrents
Also it's a sidequest dungeon so you might not have it
So you do it anyway
does the Plush Pile have something against counter placement floating? I've tried three separate times to float it on a hingan desk along with two bunnies and a stuffed fox. Bunnies and fox float perfectly, but the plush pile keeps falling when I exit and enter my house. Could it be the problem that part of its hitbox hands off the hingan desk I'm using?
Did you try rotating it before you went out of your house?
I'm not using the wooden loft float, I'm using the counter placement glitch
plus the other two items float perfectly.

I have black chocobo, how can I fly in Sea of Clouds? How to use aether current?
You should have gotten a compass, it's in the quest items tab of your inventory
I have it
You collect all aether currents in the zone
If you use it, it will tell you approximate distance and direction to the next aether current
Most are in the field, found via compass
You need all of them for each zone
For Sea of Clouds specifically though there are some in a part of it that is not accessible to you yet
so I go to all places the compass indicates in a zone and the I can fly? Thanks.
You will return to Sea of Clouds later in the storyline
You need the quest currents as well
The compass currents are only half of it
You can review your progress under travel -> aether currents
You basically need to finish the story of the zone before you're able to fly
If you're vigilant in collecting field currents and quest ones
ok, so do every sidequest and complete compass to unlock flying in a zone. Thanks
Blue quests
only
can reward currents, not the regular 
Just blue sidequests
only
can reward currents, not the regular
@glossy flare ok, thxs
And one current always comes via 
I got black chocobo and compass yesterday. And I dont remember the game telling me I should use compass. (only Harchefant told me was to use the black chocobo to fly).
Did I miss the indication (I wanna know, to try not to miss future features more carefully), or it just didnt was in any dialogue?
It's a result of the old system
its a little spotty in the dialogue if I recall but the compass is hyper important
Back then you needed an additional quest to unlock flight for the company chocobo
Basically you use the compass in an area and it'll tell you general distance and direction to the nearest aether current
and is wise to have on an easily reachable hotbar if possible because you are almost certain to be hitting it aplenty to find the currents
You have obtained a black chocobo! When riding this mount, you will have the ability to fly, provided certain conditions have been met.
To fly in a given region, you must first find and attune to all the local aether currents.
In order to attune to some aether currents, you will need to complete certain quests. However, most can be discovered via exploration.
To aid you in this endeavor, you have also obtained an aether compass, which will provide you with both the bearing and the distance to the nearest aether current upon use.
Should you lose this compass, you may speak with Gibrillont at the Forgotten Knight to obtain another.
To review your progress, select Travel from the main menu, followed by Aether Currents. ```

it was in a system info box that pops up after you finish the msq that gives you the black chocobo
LOL, with my first aether current, it showed an indication/tutorial to how to get more of them, but it only lasted 2 seconds and then disappeared.
Thanxs guys for the advises
Silly question but how do I start the bozjan southern front quest?
"Where Eagles Nest" is the unlock quest, however it requires you to have completed the main scenario quest "Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty" before you can pick it up in Gangos
What dungeons are those? Stormblood?
None of that is a dungeon
Vows of Virtue is after the MSQ dungeon Anamnesis Anyder
So if you don’t have that unlocked you need to do more story
Then I did it since I finished all the expansion
Im new, and picked Thaumaturge going for BLM. Im level 20, and doing all quests in the maps beore i jump on an air ship. Im doing thaumatarge mage guid quests, but I see a blue quest with a + next to it for pugilist. Should i do those quests too?
Only if you want to
Then the unlock quest should be in Gangos from Marsak
Other classes are completely optional to unlock
Those unlock other jobs
also vows is 5.1, anamnesis is 5.2
Alright let me look for that
@obsidian patio @faint flare ok, so I can safely ignore for now since im just starting and focusing on 1 job? (BLM is the job right?
Yes
Where is gangos at again?
ok, one more question. Do you have a link to what all the quest symbols above peoples head mean? Blue. red. metor checkmark, etc
Sorry
Am I allowed to ask about physical products retaining to FFXIV here? When I look elsewhere it is all a year+ old
ahh, beautiful. Thanks Samhain. Such a great community to join already!
Airtight thanks
@foggy flame as long as it is related to xiv, such as official merchandise, you should be okay
Okay Thanks.
So I bought The Far Edge of Fate Soundtrack for my girlfriend for her birthday. (She has always wanted the Nidhogg minion) I bought it from the official NA site and it just arrived. I opened it and outside of a bit of the packaging it is all in Japanese. I looked at the product and it mentions nothing of the minion code that I can tell. Did they send me the right product and does it still come with the code for the Nidhogg minion? The NA site has a confusing line on it mentioning something about first print
(I also don't want to open it for two reasons. One being if they sent me the wrong item I can get it replaced, and two being I want her to open it)
it should have the minion code, afaik
Is it normal for it to be in all JP?
yes, its an imported JP cd
Will the code still work then for an NA account?
yes, the code isn't region locked at all
Oh sweet
what's quick synthesis control required?
quick synth after the rework is completely random and it's basically only based on if you're using HQ materials or not
I have a question: why would someone do a level 80 dungeon daily roulette, if the award is less than most of lvl 80 dungeons? Is there something I’m missing?
@crimson wind
you're getting the reward of the roulette PLUS what the dungeon gives
It’s good for phantasmagoria
Oh really?!!
So if the dungeon I’m thrown at gives 50 allegory tomestones, I get 90 in total?
50 from dungeon, 40 from roulette
Nice! Thanks!
Will I miss out on certain levels of levequests if I skip some? Like will I be able to go straight to level 20 quests if I have only completed level 10?
yes you can
yes, what matters is whether you have the appropriate levemete unlocked
since each levemete is a different level range
that said you do need to do the initial leve quest unlock
which is at the adventurer's guild of your starting city
ok thank god
is there free character transfer for congested worlds?
Only if you transfer from Congested to preferred
is congested just anything with closed character creation?>
No
congested worlds are completely locked to both character creation and world transfers
ah alright
And it stays locked until SE changes it
worlds that are currently locked to character creation, and not listed as congested on the world status page, are temporarily so
and the lock is lifted whenever enough people log off
ty
How do i fix submersible parts?
does converting gear to materia not destroy the gear any more? I see an 'Extract Materia' option for this old Shire equipment instead of 'Convert'...
yep
That's correct, the spiritbinding just resets
thanks
is there a way to track DPS in-game?
damn so just hope for the best? lol
mmhm. try to do the best you can do
or download ACT if youre not on ps4
verify it with theorycrafting sources if you like
and then just uh, hope your team doesn't suck ass
lol I'm certain I'm at the bottom of the list
Hello. Im new here and just picked up red mage yesterday and was looking for some beginner tips
arcanist damage sucks if I dont have fester available
!faq 50rdm
Your dots do a good amount of lifting but since they're slow you dont notice much
Tyvm for that guide
its nice that I can front load damage a bunch, but towards the end of fights it falls off a ton
esp when there are many low health mobs and I have no reliable instant nuke
Yeah Arcanist/summoner revolves around burst phases
hey im new i need help with this quest i cant take it cuz it says i need to have done bowl of embers, the navel, and Howling eye in hard mode but i dont see them in my duty finder
thats fine, kinda just feels bad at the moment spamming Ruin
You unlock them by doing the quest in the waking sands "a Recurring problem"
Yeaaah the ruin spam lasts until like 60/70...then you get Trances and demi
Though you donget Ifirit at 30
Who is your single target pet
And very good
pre-level 18 was absolutely brutal
and even past 70 it's still ruin spam in filler-time
His egi assaults do 250 potency and your best attacks for awhile
aww but titan cool
he got hit with the useless bat
Well titan is for aoe burst
in all but
In optimization
very specific circumstances
And Survivability if you realllllllllly need it
hi, may i ask how much 180 days Subscription cost?
!faq subprice
You need aetherflow to use fester
aetherflow is what lets you use fester/painflare
Gained by energy drain
wait how can 180 cost less than 30!!
Because bulk buying
That's the per month cost
Bulk buying generally have some discount
180 days is 77.94$ total
whats the diff between aetherflow 1 and 2
per month it comes out to 12.99
Its cheaper per month but you pay upfront
No difference
That buff just shows you your stacks
okay thanks now i get it ^^
Aetherflow 1 means you have 1 stack
oh ok, do I ever get more than 2 charges?
No
and energy drain always gives 2 right?
painflare is a summoner only ability?
yes
aetherflow is an odd exception as it's tracked as a gauge AND a buff effect
so the buff only displays what your gauge does
seems kind of elaborate for a resource that only 2 abilities use
Its the same for scholars aetherflow so just consistency i guess
plus aetherflow used to require a little more tracking
But you kinda want to see Scholars aetherflow buff when you're another healer with a scholar
ah got it, I have basically no knowledge of game history
I played once before for a very short time, then learned you had to level multiple classes to get your main class and quickly lost interest
thank god
there's a few odd relics of older class function in the game still
but it is what it is
is power scaling roughly linear? or is it exponential with each expansion like WoW?
hm
idk what you mean by exponential so i'm assuming linear
i'd have to go for a broadly on different terms
each expansion adds like 130 ilvls
It's linear
They don't multiply with levels, which means devs acutally test the numbers
ff is helped by no borrowed power mechs so progression is much more predictable
what I mean is like in WoW there is an enormous difference between a level 60 and a level 61 character
nah.
ok cool
Level doesn't mean much
that never made any sense to me
Its more gear
^
levels basically just let you equip better gear
which is what makes you stronger
i did a requiring problem still dont have the dutys
Its a whole quest chain
Do the follow ups
It leads you to each one
Then you do that to unlock the next
My friend had a trial account. She now bought the game on steam and wants to add the key codes into mogstation, but mogstation doesn't give her the option to click on steam.
Does anyone know why it does that?
i did not getting a quest after
just use the enter registration code method
Is there any way to check available quests in any zone without just going there?
There is not @jade lava
yup found it thanks so much
Follow the database link
then she gets this warning, is that normal?
Yes
how can you cancel skill without having to move
Great thanks
oh thanks
Or jump
As you level up your rank in bozjan sf, you do more damage to enemies?
Is this quiz and its answers canon? Can't see much on phone.
https://na.finalfantasy.com/topics/107
is the free company crest permanent?
or is there a way to change it in the future?
are they adding new glamour plates for the new patch that coming ?
cause its not enough
we wanna make new sets
i mean as more space
for more glamour plate outfits
where are lvl 10 levequests
city states
At the adventuring guild of cities
As you level up your rank in bozjan sf, you do more damage to enemies?
No
So, what does rank affect?
lost action drops
Holster size, quest requirements, access to parts of the map and what fragments you can appraise
You need rank 15 to appraise all fragments
bozja differs from eureka in that rank doesn't directly affect player power
which isn't a bad take honestly
what's the best thing to spend capped phantasmagoria tomestones on if I don't need gear or augments

buying materials to sell on the marketboard
@faint flare thanks!!
check your marketboard
ok then
Sorry what is bozjan SF actually for?
upgrading relic weapons
@hasty musk All the materials above Dried Hi-Ether, usually
Compare prices between those
@quick pecan Alternative endgame content for those who don't want to do Savage
cool
I see I see thanks :') @slate arrow
whats the use in Shuriken Ninjitsu if you have Raiton?
!action Ten Chi Jin
Temporarily converts each of the three mudra into a ninjutsu action. Executing one of these actions will convert the remaining mudra into different ninjutsu actions until all three have been executed or the Ten Chi Jin effect expires.
Duration: 6s
Only ninjutsu available while active. The same ninjutsu cannot be executed twice.
Cannot be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu. Effect ends upon moving.
You don't really use Fuma Shuriken just on its own once you have access to Raiton/Katon.
Ten-Chi-Jin is pretty much the only time you'll ever end up using it.
i see, thanks
I don’t have an active subscription, but I can still play on my account. Is this normal? I’m just now coming back to the game
Oh nice
Hello again. So what exactly do people mean as a red mage by "weaving"?
I wouldn't call it a skill so much as a meta technique.
It is incredibly useful to know how to utilize it though.
Yeah ill have to watch a video and see somoen actually doing it
Slidecasting is another useful meta technique.
Ive never heard of that one
Example of weaving
Dualcasted thunder/aero > Weave Fleche and Contre
Slidecasting basically is a way to take advantage of server ticks to move before your cast bar finishes..
You can use off global abilities while waiting for the global cooldown to come back
Oh so basically the stuff that I'm supposed to use whenever it's up I use it right after doing my main combo stuff in between so that it doesn't interrupt the flow basically right?
You appear locked in the animation for the cast, even as you move. Thus the name "slide cast"
You use your off globals on cooldown after a dualcasted spell
^
If you try to use it without a instant cast spell, you clip and delay your next GCD
Oh i gotcha
So going Jolt > Acceleration will clip you
Weaving is pretty simple once you understand the theory behind maximizing your rotation.
Thx for the info guys this is really helpful to know
is there any difference visually between normal and hq crafted weapons/glams?
No
rdm is really a crash course in weaving due to the nature of dualcast
Yeah, RDM is like the weaving class. I don't think even MCH has more weaves, and they've got a lot too.
when can I access Wonderous Tail?
