well timed bot
you took my answer too seriously anyway
FYI the road to 70 buff is significant
moving on
oftentimes players will have four or five level 70s by the time they hit the level 70 MSQ
considerable
it's 2x for all classes that aren't 70
MSQ overlevels you kinda as is
when I played.
renaulte
where do you play?
I mean-
does anyone here play Spriggan?
yeah, even without road to 70 it's not uncommon to have two or three 80s by the time you finish the level 80 story
I am scared I won't make friends.
What if the people there aren't as cool as you guys. ;3;
Be the change you wish to see
im overthinking again
you'll be fine jelly
people in this game are nicer than you think
you can ignore bots
every server has bots
^
wouldnt preferred servers tend to have more bots
the real players outweigh the bots
^ 
all servers have bots
idek
Just ignore the bots
u dont really interact with bots anyway
its fine
They don't impact the game in any way
Jelly, literally just pick Spriggan and figure shit out later
well, not on an end user basis
yeah, with utmost respect this comes under 'overthinking it'
And then I have to download the game.
just choose spriggan dear. youre overthinking this wayyy too much
sorry ;3;
just play on what server your friends are
don't be
I KNOW
it is what it is
im really bad at this..
its ok. but you'll be fine
I play alone.
Is the free game time still going on?
I have 1 friend in NA and one in EU.
WAIT
I ask my friend what server he plays on.
the 4 days? I don't think so
Damm
if ur in NA, pick the NA server your friend is on
They're not in NA
if you're in EU pick the one your other friend is on
what server were they on
the free days end on the 23rd
wait
i looked it up
you're right
it's on until the 23rd, you have 4 days free game time
also it's better to pick a server that has a seller's market
since you can always travel to a differrent server to buy stuff
I CAN PLAY FOR FREE?
do you know his character name
for 96 hours
but u can't move to different server to sell stuff
but yes
so pick a server that has a seller's market
I clicked it..
aye aye aye
snack they're new, stop giving them more stuff to think about
sorry, 96 hours
But-
@hasty musk that actually matters tho
I can't play free.
not for someone who knows nothing, it doesn't
playing in a server with a seller's market makes the game way better
A new player doesn't need to worry about the seller's market
that campaign is for returning players, yea
he technically is
it's not hard to understand....just a server with people who will overspend money to buy things on marketboard, so you can make money faster
he has a previously registered ff14 account
Snack stop
so it should qualify
snack that literally doesn't matter at all, they won't be selling anything for a while, if at all
Ah yes
lol
pat pat
Thats probably because you haven't logged in for awhile
ff14 is big game
you should sleep or just let it download while you sleep
the 96 hours start on login
Yeah its started now
it technically ends "on midnight of the 4th day"
Hey, at least its freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
according to that site
okay true!!
also question
is it possible to gift someone 30 days of game time?
like w crysta or something?
Game time cards
Yeah
Provided they're for your region
buy the game time card for that region then give them the code
You can also do some funky shit with gifting money through paypal then buying Crysta with Paypal
Answer is with Game time cards
but
Thats ofc only if you can actually buy crysta with paypal
theres only 60 day game time cards?
why wouldnt u be able to buy crysta with paypal?
ah this all doesnt matter i suppose
its okay
Crysta isn't available in every region
FYI just so you know
you get a free character redesign at level 50
ye
They also get a free fantasia because they have the HW collector's edition
arent those locked to my character (that apparently doesnt exist anymore..?)
everything from collectors edition is free for all characters on your account
yeah so you get two redesigns
and so begins the fantasia addiction
fantasia is the item that lets you redesign your character
some people buy too many of them

is there a way to obtain fantasia in game?
only once
you get one for doing the level 50 MSQ
yes
yes
it does not include a rename
What is small race called?
every other one after you have to buy one thru mogstation
And the cat one?
but it includes a total redesign and race change
I wasted mine after losing a bet
Yes
yes
Be a Miqo'te 
Be a Lalafell
one of us
Join me

no miqo'te
In the darkside
What's Au Ra?
Lizard race
youre confusing the poor player
relatively
They were introduced in HW
i dont know them
They were added in HW
au ra are new as of Heavensward so not really
The newest are Hrothgar and Viera
got a question Electoral?
is Au Ra they class we had to pay for??
not anymore
ohh-
No
wait..
au ra are free now
I'm confused.
You just need the HW DLC
since they're in the free trial
no
no
no
No
No
no
lmao
Are you thinking of Hrothgar?
you cant have access to hrothgar or viera but you can play all the other races
There is no classes you pay for
Only race you need to "buy" is Hrothgar and Viera by purchasing Shadowbringers
where do i find a fc?
the only non-free races atm are hrothgar and viera
ingame?
my life for a world where people have to shell out for the catgirls
or can i already dm people to find one?
go to any major city and shout
@leaden ginkgo yes
I don't like being loud ;-;
they also released a new "community finder" webpage or some shit
It's fine~
thats like scary
where you can browse people's FC advertisements
imagine 3 people dm me
What world are you planning on joining?
Spriggan
Probably Spriggan.
just do spriggan its better
Well if you plan to move to Aether, if you go to Jenova lmk
Because mine's in there
Where's Aether?
And we're p damn chill
NA
Oh.
It's a Datacenter in NA
Then Chaos/Light is where you want to go
are all of you NA?
Yes
no
this chat has a lot of assorted players
Some aren't
Oh, Spriggan is where I play
I am
I'm on Aehter personally

Hey there we go
Hey ^^
if you click on the user, it'll show their datacenter in the roles list
i mentioned earlier, adamantoise/aether (NA)
Now you have to join Spriggan
Wait but you're from EU and play NA?
you can check people's roles for a general indication of where they might play
im so confused
If you need any help, feel free to message me on Discord
Xiniox will carry you 
^
I should be able to point you in the right direction, especially if you go to Spriggan
@fresh lodge You just want me to be on a different server than you. You hate me. 
I am joking dfhbd
Let the hate fuel you /s

btw

yes?
you can play with people on other servers lol
the only restriction is you can't be in their FC
As long as they're on the same Datacenter
Just not Datacenters unless you make an alt
you can still party up and do shit
But if you go on Chaos, any server on Chaos you can both visit and play with other players in
server just affects what FCs you can join and what housing is around
You just can't say, play with someone on Aether
Because they're two different Datacenters
Take your time
Spriggan sounds kinda cute.
spriggan outfit on mog station
wha
Au Ra
that's an au ra
i hate it
you can tell by her horns

Jelly seems like a Lalafell or Miqo person
I can confirm from personal experience both are nice
Lalafells are very pettable
But feel free when you get to customize your character to try both and whatever one you like most, you can save it
iirc there's also a benchmark thing for it where you can try it yourself?
Yes, that
!faq benchmark
Feel free to give this a try~
Because creeps
it's either cute or funny or really weird
Amd lewds
especially because creeps
usually the last one
I have a friend who is a sprout and only have completed upto heavensward but dont have access to the Novice Network, can he join it as he was never in it?
Usually both at oncr
yes, he can join as long as he is invited by a mentor
He has to be invited
They need a invite to novice network
kk ty
you can just shout in a major city for an invite and 9/10 times you'll get one
what does it mean?
well, mentor tag is unfortunately a joke 90% of the time
because it's far too easy to get one and pretty much anyone can grind one out
you have to sort through a lot of bad mentors
to find the good ones
it doesn't help that anyone can be one
Honestly if you want a serious answer to a question, just ask here
yes, at least this chat is moderated
Novice Network is a bit of a mixed bag
so people can tell me to fuck off when I say something wrong

Someday
Usually limsa
limsa
Yes
but are there like scary people
limsa is the early game chill spot
i want it to look pretty
Limsa, Eulmore, Crystarium
mh
eulmore is the lategame one
But I mean-
do people actually use the say chat?
and have conversation or something?
Basically any big city
idk
Occasionally yes
depends really
most convos I have in game are with my FC or in linkshells
you sound smart
like Praetorium 

you'll find out
if/when you get there
already 140 mins pass?
Download speed went up
download timers are never 100% right
ah-
why are NA people so nice?
Because why not~
Funny
wha-?

@faint flare >:c
there are nice people everywhere
they are!!
but idk
NA people are just
so open..
it's so cute n cool ;3;
And all of you play Aether

idk man you don't live in ||trump land||
There's mixed bags everywhere
dvckjnbvd
I'm on light
You can see by role colours
spriggan is chaos, not light
role color here only shows datacenter, not server specifically
because server basically doesn't matter as long as you're within the same datacenter
why is like
EVERY nice person
somewhere else
either other datacenter in EU or in NA
you just gotta find the nice people where you are
Light.. has no preffered server?
not currently, no
Also, with the new travel system they included in Shadowbringers, you will be able to visit any server (for a limited time) on your data centre.
preferred servers rotate every couple of months
O:
marriage
who do i want to marry?
idk whoever you want, it's basically for fun
People you like...or someone to get thr mount and items then divorse
^
or someone to get thr mount and items then divorse
or someone to get thr mount and items then divorse
or someone to get thr mount and items then divorse
i cant
dfuibv hdf

marriage ring is pretty damn nice though
People do that
30 minute cooldown, teleports you to wherever your partner is
The mount is a 2 seater mount
happens all the time
Some people do that, not all
I went to a wedding for an FC member not too long ago
People say if they're doing that straight up
Because it costs money
To get the mount and stuff from weddings
or marry a friend and be like
no
no
"we'll never speak of this again"
Population is pretty even
"mutual understanding is for the mount"
And well spread
Oh.
its like
Active means- how many are online?
midnight in EU
Also no one has offical numbers
oh.
whats viera?
a race
Bunny race
IS IT NEW?
Tall bunnies
yes
Yes
not really
new as of shadowbringers
do i play
if you consider a year new
well viera currently can't wear any hats
oh.
Well
so if that's a showstopper
also that website is trash
they can wear some hats
they look ugly.
you need shadowbringers for Viera btw
since i'm assuming you pulled those numbers from ffxiv census
they can wear head and hair adornments
that's a viera
i like miqote more
catgirls
then play a miqote
just pick your favorite animal
join us
do you like cats, bunnies, or dragons
or just play around in character creation
one failure of character creation is that you're limited in what emotes you can preview
just make 3 characters and mess around for 20 minutes on each
why do the viera of ff12 look so much mature than those in ff14
check their combat anims and emotes
because ff12 actually tried to have realistic graphics
i cant make viera look older than 15 for the life of me in ff14
well

what race is yshtola
miqote
miqo'te
miqote
Miqo'te
sun seeker specifically
she looks nice after her cosyume change
ill play miqote
cat gang
my tummy hurts rly bad
snack
cease
let them join the catgirl army
do not not dissuade them from the truth

nooooooooo........join the lalafell aramy

y'all can chill with that
um
can always fantasia later
for real though
where can i chat btw?
if you're stuck on a character race
since this is for questions
just make a new character for every race
Hey y'all, I need a bit of help logging in. Is this the place to ask it?
and mess around a bit
@south imp sure
@south imp shoot
So, I logged in like 2 days ago with the welcome back campaign stuff, right?
-mute 273919648511033356 60
๐ Muted snackattack#9137 for 1 hour
can anyone help me with getting into bojzan front? im so confused. ive done what this guide says, completed the msq up to a certain point, unlocked my relic weapon
Kael told you to chill it with the race memes
Logged in for like 20 minutes cause new PC and wanted to test it
But I can;t log in today
@soft flicker you beat the ivalice raids?
No idea why
i did
what does it say
did you talk to marsak?
i did those three
umm a guy here named marsak has a quest called where eagles nest
thats the quest
"like" 2 days ago? welcome back campaign lasts exactly 4 days and ends on midnight on the 4th day
that's the southern front quest
is it possible your welcome back campaign ran out?
probably because its new
Highly doubt it
Considering it lasts 4 days, and I haven;t even had the computer that long
I logged in 2 days ago
note that it lasts 4 days from the first time you logged in
were you playing before that login 2 days ago?
rip
am i wrong or does the leveling roulette give diminishing returns the higher lvl you are?
due to the higher likelihood of getting a lower lvl dungeon?
the leveling bonus from the roulette scales based on the lvl difference between you and the dungeon
The xp you gain is based on the difference between your level and the level of the dungeon
No, your bonus is higher if you get into a lower level dungeon
to make up for the fact you're not getting much xp from the mobs of the dungeon
hmm. then how come when running it on say a lvl 30 character i get 2 lvls per run and when running it on a lvl 70 character i get half a level's worth of xp?
because you need more xp to level
Just the shear amount of xp neexed
is saving the leveling roulette for my lower lvl jobs so that i can quickly grab a bunch of levels from one dungeon a good idea?
just do leveling roulette on whatever class you want to level
no need to "save it" or whatever
Hello guys, do you know if there is a guide that show how many things need to be crafted to level up to 80 on crafter jobs ?
hmm ok

;-; seems like no one can answer
Yeah its a bit of a mess with all the different ways to level and Ishgard and stuff
Leveling crafters is fairly easy via Ishgardian Restoration.
Do you have a gatherer levelled up?
A common way to tackle it is to gather the materials yourself through the Diadem, buy the extra materials that don't come from Diadem, and in this way self-sufficiently level all your crafters and gatherers simultaneously.
If you go to #771050529571995688 and give yourself the DoH/DoL role you'll be able to access #doh-dol-lounge where we have several resources in the pins
including leveling guides
@fresh lodge
Oh yeah just do Ishgard once you hit 20 then
But do you think i can help people by doing a guide about the leveling up ?
ok i cant tell if im just going insane but i swear to god
my ffxiv camera suddenly got closer to the ground?
like when im fighting bosses i cannot see the top of their heads
unless i go to a birds eye view
but i have no clue
Where do I go to ask for glamour advice?
what did this

theres a glamour chat in this disc
idk how to link it but if u scroll down to the ffxiv content tab
@unreal aspen you can adjust your camera height with the shortcut ctrl+up/down arrow keys
I thought #glamour-discussion Was only for flexing
#glamour-discussion is for glamour discussion and asking for help with finding pieces to fit a certain aesthetic or outfit, etc.
#ffxiv-screenshots is the one that's "for flexing"
Hello, where does people read dungeon guides? Im trying to start reading guides but I saw ones on yt and are somewhat long. I saw people on dungeon that when they forgot how the fight was they just go to internet and look a guide very fast.
youtube guides arent usually long
gamerescape or consolegameswiki are ones i use if i need to google it fast
Thank you! Both looks good
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MX0RjPS4gtT6YI5Szxlsin9hcaohnEQQC7zNdrDHBrQ/edit?usp=sharing

did anyone here recently move from the ps4 controller to the ps5 controller for this game? I am having trouble configuring the buttons
specifically the triangle, cross, and circle is not doing what I set them to do despite the configuration in game
is lalafee cute?
and since apple asked stuff- is this game actually playable w controller? like does it work well?
i have a friend that plays this with a controller
it works very well on the dual shock 4. But now the new dual sense is having problems
and people with console actually play this game
this game was made to be played on ps4
yes
there are no hard numbers but it is popular
how do i make myself stand out from other white mages >:c
glamour
@gritty kite dress in black
glamour is fashion
oh.
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Glamour is transmog
ah!
In short
Yes
yes
how do i make myself be more cute than others
everything is glamour
anything you can wear can be glamour
@gritty kite money
Just be creative
you can't really get the nicer glams when youre low level
Some of the nicer outfits sell for good money on the market board
You can look through some ideas in here
a lot of those might not be accessible to lower lvl
wait
you'll be able to look cooler the farther in the game you get, for the most part
theres an auction house?
Yes
Where is best place to fate grind from 69-71?
the market board
Market board
I mean when I see how ffxiv looks
I've never ever seen
an actual super cute outfit.
But I never looked at like fashion stuff especially-
Look in the miqote section, probably several in there
In eoreza collect
just the low level stuff- looks really casual mmorpg ish.
most of the actual glamour items are casual
And glamour specific items are lv1 by default
!iglam southern seas shirt
Just generally look around and be creative
i think a lot of clothes look so generic boring though ><
none of the clothes are going to look outright anime
ya- I think thats just a bit irritating since the game does look anime-ish after all.
to my PC clicker action friends, what do your hotbars look like? 
check #protips-and-ui for a bunch of images
you can filter the search with in:#protips-and-ui has:image
oh cool :3 thanks a ton, didnt notice them!
When u dont have stormbloond and shadow bringer, are u stuck at lvl 60 for ur character , or for the lvl of the quest ?
both
k thx
I started with a pretty cute outfit, but I got some better pants that will probably throw the whole thing off if I equip them. Is there a vanity system where you see my cute shorts but I'm equipping my better pants? Is that the glamour system at level 15?
Yes
Its glamour
You glamour the outfit onto your gear
And it takes the look of it
Okay, thanks. Sounds like I'm going to be wearing random stuff until level 15. :P

is the crystarium weapon any good?
wasn't there a website that had pictures of all the glamour items in the game?
not eorzeacollection
i dont think that one has everything
https://www.ffxivcollection.com/ for sets
Else Gamer Escape
for example, here is every single body piece in A Realm Reborn https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Body/A_Realm_Reborn
each page previews them on all races.
it's near-complete although there are sometimes odd exceptions or things shot from an angle that doesn't show them well because the images are mostly taken by an automatic process afaik
this is also the database kupo pulls iglam image commands from
e.g.
!aglam male roe vampire's vest
Hi everyone! I've sent a support ticket in as well, but I have a pretty serious issue going on. I've been having a computer issue (not what I need help with, but seems to be part of the problem based on timing) that occasionally makes me reinstall things. Today, I had to reinstall FFXIV.
Upon dealing with a few other problems, I put in my password, and it brings up the error message "This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired."
Now, a quick trip to mogstation says I have 17 days left before renewal, and looking through the FAQ tells me that the only option is they think I've violated the user agreement. Looking through that... I found nothing I've violated.
Basically, this is a very long-winded way of asking if there's any other issue that could be causing this error, because I'm seriously freaking out. Thanks!
are you logging to the Steam client or the FFXIV Standalone client, or the Free Trial client
yes, there are differences.
I just became a machinist and I don't see the armor chest I was supposed to get. I'm probably just stupid but isn't it just supposed to go into the last slot of you inventory?
It's not full
do an !search toadskin jacket in chat
@plucky ether check your invetory, they wouldnt let you complete the quests
Also, have you completed the whole quest or are just looking at the quest rewards.
did you get the Soul Crystal, gun and pants?
if your inventory was full
oh right yeah that too
if you have the soul crystal and gun
you should of gotten a chest
I got the gun and soul crystal
optimal settings
in your main inventory
i wanan use in ffxiv?
use what ever works best for you, default is fine
if you can play on high, then do high
there are four graphics setting presets in system config > graphics settings
reccomendation though
turn down party effects to limited
unless you like having seizures
Nah. Keep it on all if beginner
Nice to see the pretty effects. Turn it down if blinded
Laptop (Standard), Laptop (High), Standard and High
does mudra lag still exist
or am i doing something wrong
i just fuma shurikened 4 times in a fight bc the first keypress didn't like? register
for my mudras
wuts the current best food for healers?
is there something i could be doing wrong? nothing about my setup changed but my mudras are consistently not going off today
but i don't seem to be lagging otherwise
Tested your KB?
How far is Leviathan from the beginning of Heavensward?
@slate arrow it's the steam client
@thorny stag What does your Mogstation say?
You are at least 4 patches away
how long is a patch
From the looks of it you're supposed to use the Standalone client.
10~15 msq
ARR patches are about 10-20 quests each, depending on the patch
I can show you the list of MSQ quest and you can count then
I swear I am going to manually grind every possible job quest I need for the Stardust Rod before I get to Ishgard
My mogstation says I own licenses for all of it through the steam account...
Before i go into any duty with zero clues, I need to ask what True North does on NIN, because the tooltip doesn't explain much to me
oh it looks like it's not just for NIN
role ability
got it, thanks
I honestly don't understand a lot of the crap people post in their PF descriptions
True north is one I see a lot
Oh in terms of bosses, that means you donโt change position based on the boss
For mechanics and stuff
I see
Figured that was a given, would just make it really confusing if you had to keep going to different spots
Vinyl can I dm u
Plus you're constantly looking at the boss
why do people get annoyed if the tank moves around the boss?
No I'm sleeping soon
You do the mechanics as if you are always facing the boss while looking at the north point of the minimap
Because the boss might end up facing you and cleaving your face
what's the issue with the tank dancing around the boss?
Boss moving needlessly means melee lose positionals
Also melee positionals
what are positionals?
Are you trolling
@thorny stag send a screenshot of your mogstation page like so
!faq positional
Skills that do more damage/have a effect when hit at a specific part
Melee classes abilities get bonuses for hitting a boss from a certain direction
oh ok
!action Snap punch
Delivers an attack with a potency of 210.
230 when executed from a target's flank.
Can only be executed when in coeurl form.
Additional Effect: Changes form to opo-opo
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Grants Greased Lightning
Duration: 16s
Greased Lightning Bonus: Increases damage dealt by 10% and reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 5%
If the boss keeps spinning, its hard to hit the part you want to hit.
i've never a melee dps class @silk summit
"230 when dealt to the flank"
@silk summit well im in stormblood
but i've avoided melee dps
like the plague
cuz dps have a hard time getting queued in for dungeons in the first place
Same. I played healer caster only until 80
