You’re on a preferred server so that’s something to expect

that's why i told you to decide yourself? 😂
Lol can't
what does true north do exactly?
certain weaponskills have positionals on them, that give increased potency (or in the case of SAM, bonus kenki when you're at that level)
when you have true north active, you'll always get those positional bonuses
even if you're not hitting from the right spot
good for cases where, for example, the target might be turned towards you or otherwise moving, and you might not be able to guarantee hitting rear or flank when you have a positional up
does it sometimes take some time after you buy something on mog to receive?
it can take a bit sometimes. You can try using the button "request delivery" or whatever in the top right corner of the dialog box from the postmoogle and sometimes that pushes it through a bit faster
alrite
Character specific stuff usually takes around 15-30 minutes at most for me.
Account-wide stuff easily takes around an hour or so
the patch quests aren’t filler as they help properly conclude the story for their expansion and set up the next one
If you want the most pertinent/related quests for HW then I think part 6 of ARR NG+ has the main set up for it
...I just answered you
You just...said that
hmm does it mean that you reached shadowbringer but your char is still lv 50ish? 🤔
So I have a random question. How does one find good sfw rp? I really want to engage in some, but don't know how to find/engage others.
I'm currently level 66, just unlocked flying in The Ruby Sea, and I want to get the StormBlood Yokai weapons - but I'm a bit too weak to solo FATEs right now. What's my route to gearing up?
Not much besides Shisui gear and Shire gear
Maybe if I come back at another time of day I'll find a group.

technically there's a chance but i would personally just recommend waiting for a quieter hour to try
Im trying to figure out which Tank class I like best. See people saying WAR has big self-healing and sufficiency is that accurate?
WAR has pretty good self healing
is there any beginner guide for new player? this is my 1st time playing ffxiv
equilibrium, nascent and i'm probably forgetting something
aurora? no way o_o
but between those, you can keep your self fairly healthy
aurora is definitely not on par with nascent
nothing compared to war skills 😂
!faq new player tips @tropic warren
I have a DRK at 65 but not sure I wanna stick with it. I'm not fond of how it solos
Damn it
ooo
!faq newplayertips
for solos then paladin 😂
thanks !
True, Choco could use some more levels. He's only 5.
Im probably fooling myself to think any of the tnaks will solo as well as a DPS tho, yes?
correct
dps are going to have far stronger dps spells than a tank or a healer
but like open world is pretty...moot point in the long run
is this solo old instance? 🤔 or just solo fate in general
Solo content like MSQ, and yeha Deep Dungeon..
Im at lvl 69 of SB MSQ, but my two main classes are 70, and I don't want to waste the MSQ EXP by using my 70s
So looking for stuff to raise up
and for potd the best two jobs for soloing are rdm and mch
like a class' worth should not realistically be judged on how well they do msq
simply because its a one and done deal
That is a good point. I think at Endgame it's largely PLD and DRK for tanks, right?
!faq meta
its far more important to find a job you enjoy
play the one that looks the coolest to you
like
is paladin class good enough for new player? or should try arcanist?
summoner
if you’re already at lv69 msq, it’s not that worth it to level up a job just to get the exp though ... imo at least
any class are fantastic for new players
it is up to you
what do you feel to roleplay as
Paladin is a tank and very straightforward
hmm okay, but can level all the job right
you want to have cool pets to do your damage go summoner
depend where you live
what region are you
well im in asia tbh
Arcanist into SMN was my first class, I enjoy it immensely. SMN and Dancer are my top plays right no
right now in INA
i heard JP server have a lot of SEA
idk
depend on your ping
anyone know the command
i forgot
ok, i cant download this from steam because region lock, so im just download from the website
most players using the direct client anyway
ahh okay
most SEA players are in elemental DC
will 5.4 or 5.5 finish the ||ultima weapon trials? And how many more trials will there be?||
5.5
||how many more trials will there be? ||
there's 3 trial per the side quest for each expac
so 1 more
well 1 more after 5.4 releases
Piety Materia III is only available in Floors 51-60 of Palace of the Dead or 41-50?

do striking dummies not have positionals?
i seem to be doing the same amount of damage no matter where i stand
They do
im playing lancer
Positional bonus can also be tied to the combo
how much easier will E8S be with the new raid tier and its gear?
should be easier for folks to clear the fight before WL2 at least, which will help a little. But the biggest point where people have issues for the fight is for LR, which won't be made any bit easier by having more gear. In general most of the difficulty is from mechanics that will just kill. So won't make all that much of a difference, really
Thanks!
we were progging ith my static and got up to adds, but gave it up and decided to insted do random shit until new tier drops
Is Piety Materia III is only available in Floors 51-60 of Palace of the Dead or 41-50?
what do you need it for
can healers share the same end game gear set?
lvl 50 GSM quest
I would just buy it from the marketboard
they're on the free trial, so not an option
there's a quest in Mor Dhona that gives piety III as a reward called Crazy About Crystals
I did it already
farming potd for materia is probably the least reliable method though
you don't need to be a healer to get piety from spiritbonding
I thought only healer gear gave Piety materia from Spiritbonding
ofc with my luck, i got Piety V from my 1st run
can healers share the same gear set for end game content (savage) ?
or would I really miss on a lot?
there is an omni-healer set that you can use according to the balance

it won't be optimal though
Kettle nexus is obtainable after finishing Zeta questline right? Can you get it if you finished Lancer zeta? Without re-doing whole zeta for monk?
I'll go ask on balance
probably a good idea
yes, you just need a zeta. doesn't matter which job you do it for @bronze narwhal
yay thank you.
@raw solstice what level of gear gives Materia III?
so i heard bis for whm right now is resia weapons.... how about armour?
check the balance discord, bis is changing in 1 month or whenever 5.4 drops anyway though
can you buy jet black dye?
!faq balance
@heady knotthe balance is the meta discord, basically
you can buy it off the marketboard, but not from a vendor
you have to get it from other sources, like bozja drops or retainer ventures
from a cursory search, looks like the sweet spot for grade 3 materia is around i45-i54? Not sure how up to date/precise the info is exactly
thx
Does ffxiv support xbox series x controller? I just got a series x and was wondering if I can hook it up to ffxiv while I'm on my free 4 days off play
Or would it be better to use a xbox one controller?
from a quick search, this thread popped up https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/jsezzl/xbox_series_xs_controller_issues_on_pc_nonsteam/ and seems some people are having issues with the xbox series x|s controller
so not sure if its the same as what you have, but sounds like it might be safer to use xbox one controller
the only one i can say for certain works fine is xbox 360 controller since thats what i have :\
Hmm, looks like Xbox one controllers are also facing the issue
How about a dualshock 4?
Namely the Elite controllers
DS4 should still work
It might just be an issue with the game reading xinput
Updating Windows might help
Can i skip this and enter solo? 
You can enter solo. But wont survive at level
You'll die like near immediately
It is 4:30am in thr EU
Great, and it's story dungeon so i'm literally stuck 
So not many people are on
Story dungeons are in roulettes and do pop eventually
Plus 3mins is barely anything for a dps que
The fashion report, scoring 80 and 100 points both give the same amount of mgp right?
only difference is 100 points give you the title?
yes

another slight difference is that 100 points progresses you more towards unlocking the shop items
but for mgp, it's 60k pre-boost for 80 and 100 pts
uh. whats the first quest to unlock the Kojin beast tribe again? i may have forgotten
Heaven-sent
if you're partway through the chain here's a wiki page for the full list: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Kojin_Daily_Quests
tysm
what HoH floors do people run for XP?
Which grand company should i choose
Doesn't matter
There's no functional difference
Only what glamour you can earn from them and where their HQ is located for stuff
I will stay loyal to my home city of ul'dah then
any good wacky questline like Hildibrand? 👀
How long is the 5.3 story?
Hildibrand is the wackiest it gets, unfortunately
I see : (
There's thr Scholacistaces quest line in heavensward which is kinda goofy
yes yes, that too ^^
👀 Scholacistaces?
it also gives a great emote if you like glasses
I said it gives emote
i read gud

ohohoho thank you I'll check it out
oh wait it involves Briardien, definitely gonna do this
I always forget this
For DPS, PoTD for what levels?
Also, what level does PoTD floors 20-30 sync you to?
I'd say up to 20, and from that command mission is much faster
at least thats what I experienced
Rather just do PoTD
Potd is good to 60
What level does PoTD 20-30 sync you to though?
potd has its own leveling system
Well I'm looking to level RDM with it, so I'm guessing it'd sync skills to 50?
iirc at level 1 rdm only have that melee skill
They actually have their own level thats learnt naturally so they're not gimped when synced down
Verthunder is like lv18 or something
equipment and level outside potd doesn't matter inside
I am confuse, so if I enter PoTD, I'd start as a level 1 RDM?
yes
If you start at floor 1. Yes
it has its own leveling system and equipments
does the Aether armor in PotD mean I don't get spiritbond on my normal gear?
Ugh, what do I do for opener & rotation then as RDM, I don't think theres any guides for sub 50 RDM
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
fehk
!faq 50rdm
and you might need to clear data and restart from 1 to fulfill the armor and weapon enhancement in order to do another set of floors
You just try to do your rotation with the skills you have access to
Your basics dont change
Like
At all
Yeah at super low levels you just don’t have procs and use the first part of the melee combo at 30/30
both aetherpool armor and weapon enhancement requirements to do floors
what's the benefit of ishgard restoration
to powerlevel crafting classes?
oh
And gatherers
oh right diadem
You can also use scrips to buy items like mounts, minions, emotes, hair and other stuff
Which you can use/sell
wait which allegory is gonna expire in 5.4?
No
tombstones
Phastmagoria is
goetia will be gone, phantasm cant be used but can be traded for allegory
Phastmagoria becomes unobtainable and items brought with it placed into Hunt shop
red one?
TL:DR:
Phantasmagoria will no longer be obtainable and it’s gear is bought with nuts now.
Allegory will become uncapped and essentially take Phantsmagoria’s place.
Revelry will become the new capped tomestone
nuts?
Shadowbringers hunt currency
Sacks of nuts from clan nutsy
allegory? like the one you can get from regular roulette?
Phastmagoria red, allegory blue
Goetia tomes, which have been unavailable since 5.2, are being removed completely. Phantasmagoria tomes are getting retired. Allegory tomes are getting demoted. New tomestones, Revelation tomes, are the new weekly locked.
revelry tomes will buy what level gear?

What do you do with unapproved skybuilder materials?
oh that’s Dow, no idea for dol
There wont be any more DoL/H gear outside of white scrip which will ne worse overall than Melded Aethese
And skysteel tools which will overtake eventually
Aethese will br BiS until the end (except tools)
this is alright for sos extreme smn right?
So should we grind sky builders scripts
Yes
Can you overmeld sky steel tools?
You get it approved by talking to the NPC right by the one that takes you into the diadem
Might need to be in multiples of 5 for it to get approved
He also can’t approve them all at once, so you gotta do it multiple times if you gathered multiple types
@gloomy mortar you can't overmeld or even meld skytools
but the end product, skysung tools
are slightly better then unmelded aesthetes
will probably be bis next patch cycle
and by unmelded aesthete
i mean unmelded high control aesthete tool
overall skysung is alot more balance in its control/craftsmanship, has 6 cp and only takes 80k and like an hour to get
Ohh okay I thought he would auto approve all the mats I bought back ty!
what jobs benefit most from bozja haste augments?
does the level of (for example) mine-node affect the spiritbond increase?
just these 2?
You can
You can always trade totems for weapons. Its added with the trial itself
The totems are the pity system
The mount buying is the one added later
thanks
duty roulette reset weekly?
Daily
ok
!daily
Thats when they reset
can I only access the Cœrthas Western Highlands after a certain point in the MSQ?
yes
Western highlands is a HW area
it's like one of the first zones you go to after you start HW
oh ofc i check and the MSQs i put off are literally "Let's go visit the rest of Cœrthas"
I just unlocked bozja can you do it solo ?
You can enter without a party yes
And you can solo the fates, there's npcs in most to help
Plus other people will usually come to help
Ok thanks 🙏
where can you find the housing/ward list in a residental map?
guys is there a lv 80 version of the spearfishing gig (fisher secondary weapon)
how do i know if someone registered my friend recuit code?
what can i do with retired chocobo registrations? I've already used covering
nothing else? discard?
nope. only start from 1st floor or 51st floor
Huh
So just going from 1 to 50 as DPS
And then redoing it every time you hit 50th floor
Is the suggested route until your actual job hits 60, then switch to HoH, right?
basically. or just spam floor 51
Alright & one last question
Until 60 as RDM this is all you really need to know?
!faq 50rdm

What do I meld for phys ranged dps(mostly dnc)?
how's the infatuated beast tribe emote called.
I heard RDM is the easiest DPS, is that true?
?*
One od the easiest yes
Is that all for dnc?
All physical ranged
Ok
wait, DH > det for physical ranged?
i swear a week ago someone here said otherwise 😓

@leaden ginkgo sorry for the direct buzz
If I may
New? Got too many skills? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 50? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Red Mages how to Red Mage properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usag...
Oh, thanks Dad
Keep this channel in mind, it has all the leveling guide for all the jobs
Pretty useful
If I get a room in my FC house, can other people enter it as well or is it instanced like inn rooms?
it's like apartments, you can make it public so others can enter
Is there a way to allow only certain people to enter? I've never had one.
no

What are the last 3 soulstone slots for? arent there just enough slots for every class? i just realized i have all of them and yet there is still space left
The crafter specialist stones
oh i was told there arent any crafter stones, how do you get them?
i see, thanks a lot!
They basically provide a small set of stats and give access to specialist recipes which are usually current patch glamour items
20 Craftsmanship, 20 Control, and 15 CP for the stats they give
i want to ask question
if i buy complete edition now
automaticly became subs member

or i still free trial member but can manually switch to subscribe player?
Once you buy the game, you can no longer go back to the free trial and must pay the subscription
You get 30 days for free, and 15 extra days if you get to level 30 on a preferred server, but afterwards you have to pay sub
You are only on subscription once you enter the game code license to your mogstation account
Purchasing and holding the code is fine
still free trial?
Yes
on ps4 it is
ah ok ty ty
How can I unlock Zhole's Custom Delivery?
“Arms Wide Open” in Idyllshire
You’ll need to do the quest “Go West, Craftsman” in Mor Dhona if you haven’t
Ah ok
I already did "Go West, Crafsman" so I guess I have it unlocked but haven't done it.
Do you need to finish the job hunting log or the grand company hunting log to buy an apartment?
Or both maybe?
i think only the GC one, since it's required for one of the company ranks and you need basically the highest one (without squadrons) to be able to get an apartment

you don't need to finish the grand company hunting log, you just need to have completed the 2nd rank of it
I am new at this server and newish at the game, where could I look for parties to do raids in early game ? Its a bit pain to wait 1h to get into a story raid just to reach shadowbringers ;'(
there are no raids in the early game
yes
well, you just have to wait, no one is gonna be recruiting for dungeons unless specfically looking for armor in that dungeon, and even then they can unsync solo them in most cases
make sure you have all languages enabled in the duty finder settings
otherwise just have to be patient since its not exactly prime time
how duty finder works typically as people who are doing there daily roulettes are gonna be put with you automatically after a bit. if you're playing at a time where your server is all but dead, its gonna take a LOT longer @timid birch
So chaos is dead ? 😢
no...
i don't know what prime time is in chaos
i mean dead as in people are asleep or at work
Yeah, It shouldn't be now tbh, its weekend and 11 in the morning.
I was wondering about is there a chat here were people are good enough to help run through those
all you can do now is just wait till it pops then
if you want faster queues
play a tank or healer
you can try #recruitment-chaos
otherwise its just the case with dps
Yeah, jobs issue is well known for me XD
Btw how do I set up langauge to all ? its set to English but can't seem to find how to put it to all,

Ahhhhh
Do I have to stay until everyone leaves so I can get the piece I bid on?
you have to stay until everyone else leaves or rolls on it

Been playing for a while now but haven't really jumped into the social scene
What's the best place to start conversations with folks
I feel like patting the nearby lalafell and emoting away is kinda cringe
FCs are usually the go-to if you want people to talk to
there's also various linkshells you could join
What're linkshells
basically like chatrooms that people will make for various reasons
some exist for specific stuff, like alerting people to hunts and FATEs, but other ones are for more social stuff
For example, aether has a linkshell for people who like climbing kugane tower

bruh why did levelling roulette put me in sastasha when im level 39
Cause life sucks

because sastasha is a leveling dungeon
and you can get any leveling dungeon that you've unlocked and is equal to your level or below
yeah but i gained like 10 exp
And roulette can be randomly any leveling dungeon
yeah but you got the bigger bonus as a result
I swear it's rigged to put you in the first 4 dungeons
the roulette makes up for the fact that you're not getting a lot of exp from the mobs
If you just want to level after the first clear, queue for the highest dungeon lvl
the exp you get from leveling roulette scales based on the level difference between you and the dungeon you're in
maybe im just remembering wrong but i don't even think i my exp bar changed
did you already get the one time bonus today or something
uhhh when does that reset?
!daily
You can see if the bonus is up if there are arrows pointing up in the reward section
If there aren't, you already used it
should i just do highest dungeon then?
yes
highest leveling dungeon
how do i know if a dungeon is a levelling dungeon?
50/60/70/80 dungeons aren't leveling dungeons
if its between level 15-47, 51-59, 61-69, etc
ah ok
What is bio
guys is there a chance that se will help with account recovery when i only have email, name surname, and order number with game key? (my house burned so all notes are lost)
What's the difference between leveling dungeons and 50/60/70 ones?
50/60/70 give tomestones instead of exp
so when leveling alt jobs you usually spam the highest leveling dungeon because you'll get more exp than if you did a level cap dungeon

@kind eagle in terms of actions, it’s a Damage over Time spell used by Summoner and Scholar
How should I play as a dnc with mch for dance partner
For terms/abbreviations it can refer to “biological need” which can mean stuff like grabbing a snack or needing to use the restroom
You don’t play any different based on dance partner
is there any reason to get augmented neo gear or should i just go straight for bozja
Oh thought I need to adjust for his burst window
Nah, assuming both of you use your stuff on cooldown after your opener it’ll naturally align
@leaden ginkgo Bozja takes time to get to and rank up for, so that has to be considered if you don’t have that part done already
But with the Coins now being obtainable from Skirmishes and CEs, it’s definitely a better alternative to the slots that the Bozja stuff covers
@leaden ginkgo if you can get bozja gear then yes, no need for neo ishgardian
Just remember Bozja doesn’t have Belts or accessories
Just use on cooldown then, waiting for cooldowns to be ready for dungeon pulls/bosses is usually a waste of time
Or saves very little time
Ok
What does it mean to clip skills and how do i lose dps from it?
!faq weaving
And what accessories to go with aiming don't have yet for 80
gotcha
It makes you lose damage by slowly losing GCDs throughout a fight
will 5.4 gear end up beating everything anyway?
should i just wait till then and craft it myself
If you can craft it, sure.
kk guess i’ll just chill until then
But clipping means to use off-global cooldowns in a way that they delay your next GCD due to animations or the 0.7 lockout that’s on all oGCDs
Like using 3 or more oGCDs between GCDs
Or using 2 oGCDs where one has a long animation lockout, like DRG’s jumps
normal raid gear beats the crafted gear right?
Got it. Thanks for the clarification!
They’re the same ilvl
huh, interesting
Crafted beats it due to you being able to overmeld it
Also the virtue of being able to get it faster
does it make a major difference for your dps if you clip occasionally? or is it just minor
I still need accessories help for dnc at 80 since i don't have neo ish for them
overmelding is hella expensive though, and if it eventually gonna get replaced by tomestone/raid gear
Job dependent and situation dependent on how much it loses you
dont know if it worth it
but you just reminded me
i need to horde the hsit of materia
for that
$$$$
For some fights it can mean losing out on a big hit GCD due to intermission
Saw people offering their houses on partyfinder now and then. Is it safe to buy from them? 
¯_(ツ)_/¯
@hollow wraith a bit, in terms of optimization, you want to avoid clipping
??
especially doing it often enough is gonna affect your dps negatively
Just get Neo-Ishgardian for the accessories and belt
They’re pretty cheap with how late in the patch cycle it is
I'm low on gil rn
Probably 300k for all 6 of those items
Basically required
farm normal eden's verse for 480 accessories if you don't have the money
So is bozja belt not worth it?
There is no Bozja belt
whats the best gil dump for phantasmagoria?
Check Gil prices of all the materials above dried hi-ether
Those are the most likely ones to sell good
If you’re lazy just get equal amounts of each
these?
Yep
ty

btw, are we getting more tintcure pots?
next patch?
it only goes up to grade 3 right?
usually the last one is grade 3
so its unlikely we'll get a new tincture
but like the fact we got grade 3 so early makes it a bit weird
I'm wondering what gear to use when my crafting jobs are 80. Ilvl 470 with white scripts? What's even better? Crafted gear? But to craft that, I need the ilvl 470 I guess?
the white scrip gear is decent stepping stone, but it basically depends on what you're aiming to do with lvl 80 crafters
if you want to be a serious end-game crafter, you should ideally get the aesthete set and overmeld it
@oblique crypt make money, buy the bis aesthete gear cause going into facet gear to make your own aesthete set is gonna be a lot more expensive
And before you ask “how do I make gil with my gear” few ways, most reliable is scrip farming then selling the materia in large stacks
Quite grindy yes

But quite reliable
How much anima do you earn for Born Again Anima when doing Brayflox Hard? I feel like I'm going to have to run it like 1000 times.
Someone can correct me but I wanna say it's something like 40-50 runs from start to finish
getting an A9S party is substantially faster
I';ll try that, thank you
has anyone had this problem before?
i was afk the entire time and it would just crash
Thx guys. What ilvl do I need round about to craft aesthetes gear?
@oblique crypt ilv 460 with decently melded facet gear is required to meet the bench mark to make hq aesthete
Like I said
Just buy it
It’s gonna be cheaper and faster
But I love craft things myself😀
Question. How much it's the download of Shadowbringers? (And Stormblood I think it comes together)
20-30 iirc
@cold cove 40 dollars for the expansion (yes it’s bundled with sb) but there is a sale going on rn I believe
What materia ideal for Bard?
No no, I know how much the price is. Only the download size cuz my internet is slow.
Yeah, that's my answer
20-30 GB iirc
Same ballpark as the size of Starter Edition, but definitely below it
But if it's 30 I should download it in like 4-5 days.
It personally took me a few hours to redownload myself, connection was fine. I think it’s just something up with the launcher ngl
No other game acted like that
do i need to purchase all weapoons to get yokai mount? or jus thaving the coins is enough?
You need to purchase the weapon
awesome thanks

Is there a way to cancel completely the Born Again Anima quest so I can accept the same quest with another class? My cousin used to play on my account and she decided to start one for a class I didn’t use much and now I can’t keep going with mine.
Can you not abandon it from the journal tab?
You should still be able to use the other job to complete it though no?
Interesting.. I have no clue then, I hope someone can find a way to help out
Thanks anyway ^^ I hope so too.
do the empyrean weapons glow? or is it just that cool firey pattern.
i think they glow in the instance, but they wont when i try them on for some reason
They do but when you try them on the glow doesn’t show for some reason. It happens with some weapons specially the light ones like for example the potd ones.
which node give chairglow aether sand?
So is AST supposed to be really unforgiving when you get behind or am I doing it wrong?
White clay I think. It spawns around 8pm ET in Tomra
no problem
I just finished Shadwobringers base campaign, is there anything I should do before grinding out the next main scenarios
not really anything you should do except unlock optional content..if you get extra time and can complete every role quest, there is an extra quest at the end with nice additional lore.

I will keep that in mind, ty
How many players do I need (unsync) to finish the whole deltascape raids of stormblood? I’ve been trying to queue the past 4 days but It never pops
savage doesnt have a lot of random players so youll need to find 7 people to group with
Normal right
normal pops pretty quick
And if it's savage, use PF
Yep, normal
Just aiming for completion
And savage, too? Just in case I need the glamour some time
I managed Alexander savage with 2-4 players on the last tier
So I’m assuming I’ll need either 5 or 6 here
You should be able to get queue thru DF that's really werid
I've never had an issue finding people for normals but you could probably do it with 6 people pretty easily maybe less
Do I need to complete the job hunting log or the grand company hunting log to be able to buy an apartment? Or both? @_@
Thing is, I’ll probably watch the cutscenes (not counting the boss) I mean the quest ones, if I recruit 7 players the chances of which I’ll get an impatient guy is high, and I want to minimize that
neither, you just need to complete the 2nd rank of the grand company hunting log
since you need to be 2nd LT to be able to buy an apartment
how do I really grind out gatherer's scrips?
I'm doing my anima quest and I've decided to pay off the crystal sand with mining and botany
but I don't know where to start
specifically how to know what to go after
I've got the ffxiv clock open to see what's currently spawned but those things aren't always being accepted for scrips
do I just have to cross reference the clock with the list every time?
the items requested by the house of splendors doesn't change
is there a list of things that are being accepted for scrips' spawn times then?
personally don't use ffxiv clock, but there might be an option to just show unspoiled nodes
crafters have a section in the crafting log that's specifically collectables
where?

how do emphreal nodes respawn more then once per timer?
you go tap 3 other nodes, don't have to actually gather anything from them. just open and close the node @outer plank
oh, sorry, I think I miscommunicated
I misspoke
I'm try to gather
not craft
thats on me

Are there many statics that are active from midnight onwards?
Another question. I bought shadowbringers but in the launcher it does not download (previos to log in) do I have to log in to download it or it is download when I purchased the game? (Beacuse I do not have days in the account to log in)
did you buy it for pc or ps4
Steam
then it'll download when you login after you apply the code that can be found in your cd key library to your mogstation
Thank you, it was right clicking on the steam game to see the code
Sadly I cannot download it without login-in
where can i get the fox ears and the minion?
i have the materials already
but i guess there's someone i have to trade with

When is best time for castrum in bozja?
Can i do this quest even if ive Done the class one for tanks?
Yes
You can do all 4 role quest chains
In fact there’s a follow-up chain with a title at the end for doing all 4!
Thank you sm @halcyon glen 💜
Greetings! Is there a way to rewatch your character's opening cinematic in-game (the one where you ride in a carriage to arrive in your home/starting city)? The unending journey starts at lvl5 MSQ, unless I'm that much mistaken. Thanks!
EDIT: Nvm found it, I'm being stupid 😑
Hello! I’m about to start ffxiv online soon. As a sprout what should I do to start off? Are there certain guilds that help beginners that I should join when I can? Is there a specific guide for beginners on the progress of things? I want to be wmh so I don’t want to miss anything that would make my character strong! For background: I have the complete edition with subscription, and I’m a total and complete noob
The Balance Discord has a lot of Resources for every job/ class. They can help you with that. You'll also find a lot of stuff on YT ofc. What makes you strong is often understanding your role, your rotation, what ur skills do and how good u are at managing that during dungeons and encounters. You pick up gear as you go (be mindful of buying stuff from the marketboard)
Also from my experience Gridania was the best starting area
!faq newplayertips
I'm about to buy my first subscription, anyone have a refer-a-friend they would like me to use? I don't have a FC or any friends yet, so figured I would ask here. Someone should get something for it. 🙂
Is that the recruit a friend code? I could send you mine if you’d like but I have to look for it. @velvet prairie
Check if this one works KG8J5722 that’s if you still need it.
That worked. 🙂
Alright ^^
All aesthete components (megalania leather, merbau lumber etc) use the same durability, progress and quality values, correct?
I don’t know if this is the right channel to ask but would anyone like to join me on a1s to light farm? I need help with that since I just started the quest.
Light farm is usually done on A9S, and there's usually PFs up for it
also #603040765723148289
a1s was working earlier for me 🤔 does a9s give more than robust?
9s usually gives about 96 points of light per run
And unsynced each run is about 2 minutes
I’ll try that one then. Thanks for letting me know.
Does the one that get the friend code obtain the bonus too?
You finish the whole grind in about 40 minutes with a near full group
Yes both people get a bonus
With the recruiter getting more as the new player subs for longer
Yeah
Yeah, that
So if you're a recruiter and recruitee you can get 2
Just one
Not that they stack
Cool, when I sub I need a friend too then
If anyone needs a code let me know
The power of friendship 
Marvelous good folk of Eorzea I beckon thee humbly in search for a solution for my predicament. To my horror fate has not been so kind as to bestow convient avenues, in which i may obtain level 80 gathering accessories, and thus i turn to thee
Is there a way in which i may obtain said items?
either buy them from the marketboard or craft them yourself. Aesthete is current BiS accessories
Dwarven mythril is your entry level 80 accessories
For crafting
Lignum vitae for gathering
there's very much an aesthete gathering set
so in short i need carpentry for gathering?
I mean i see the set for gathering(Left side), just not able to craft them myself with (Goldsmith, Leatherworking, Clothcraft, Alchemy)
in Master VIII :C
the accessories are mostly carpenter this time
oh
well that do explain a bit
thank you : D
Seems like i got some work to do then

Is there a way to farm aetheryte tickets? Like the one the dog fairies give you in ShB. The ticket that is consumed in place of payment for teleportation
Allied seals
can buy them with allied or centurio seals
Allied what? I'm gonna have to look those up oof
ARR hunt currency
centurio seals being arguably easier to farm than allied unless you've got blue mage raised
Centurio is HW/stormblood hunt currency
Aka do hunts
(and blue mage stuff for allied seals as well)
Can I do a hunt by myself if I'm level 80 going after one of the level 50 ARR hunts?
yes
can easily solo the weekly hunt bills for both
and can farm the A ranks from HW solo
S ranks might be a bit hard to do solo
will these be new crafter and gatherer gear next patch?
aesthete will still be bis either way
are there any glitching spots in lavender beds? for hide and seek
quick question: can i use the whole four days for the login campaign since my sub JUST went inactive but the campaign ends tomorrow
i put some materia on sell, came back now, they're not selling anymore but i made no gil and there's nothing in sale history. wth?
no, sub had to have been inactive for 30 days
i am now in limsa summoner bell and i put them in the inn if it matters somehow
im more concerned about since the campaign ends tomorrow

you said your sub just went inactive which implies that it just ended
i meant inactive status my bad
when did your sub end
october 21st
when putting something into your glam dresser, do you have to unequip it?
so then yes you should qualify for the free login campaign
i know im eligible for the campaign i just want to know if i can play for the whole 4 games
yes @vague lynx
whole 4 days*
yes, you are assured 4 days from when you login
so, if i put it in my glam dresser, do I lose the item itself?
no, you can take the item out from the dresser
just looking for some really basic combat advice but, as a caster/ranger, is it best to stick with the team if it means being near the enemy or just stay away? especially as caster as the enemy moves so much that i'd hardly get a chance to cast
ideally you want to stay within general range of your healer
and if i am the healer?
Do we need the pyros weapon to get the elemental+1 armor?
gonna sound dumb but, any advice for doing that? people seem to move way too much for me to be able to position well and cast
gah i really am not used to healer
a fair number of Aoe heals are based off of you
so you need to stand relatively in the middle of your group
but that said, if people are standing off in narnia
fuck em
you shouldn't have to run to the ends of the earth to try and heal them
this is the best advice i have received thank you
obviously if its a new player, i'd give them a break
since they may not know they should stay close ish to the healer for aoe ing if/when its needed
but if its an older player, 100% fuck em. they should know better tbh
yeah, i just had a very frustrating dungeon run where both dps were standing way away from the boss
anyway thank you both
if you want to be nice, you can be like 'hey dps if you want healing please stand close so its easier for me'
gonna copy that

happens to me once in gibal library where my ast haven't got an aoe heal yet except the regen thing :/
the 2 dps were blm who keep getting hit, it was painful
not only that i was still wearing ironworks in lv 59 dungeon since i level'd with roulette before
the whole dungeon had to spam aspected helios
You have both helios abilities at 59 though
You also have both celestial opposition and collective unconscious
Please use those even in trash pulls
They're powerful
yeah I got opposition as lv 60, but at that time i was lv 59
ooo in that case would spamming helios would be better option? 🤔
But I feel like I shouldn't queue that dungeon knowing i had ironworks
cause I only needed small fraction of exp to reach 60 at that time
What dunegon was it
library
2 BLM DPS spread over the arena, it's tough to heal >.>
Yeah I feel that
https://youtu.be/Y9gBAr1xD_g?t=13 this boss 😂 it drops ball that has to be dropped in outer part of arena
Taking on the boss at the end of the Great Gubal Library. He's called Everliving Bibliotaph and the gimmick here is that platforms will summon adds unless the correct number of people stand on the platform.

people keep getting hit by the ball when they try to prevent the boss from spawning

if you already have teh aspected regen up, no reason to constantly refresh it. tap your collective unconscious for the regen as well and then supplement that with helio if you still need it
I see, so like the regen from aspected + this one 🤔
So I read People selling houses to relocate to other people that have a house as well. So my Question is: Can I buy Houses off other Players without having a House myself? 
where can I get the golden bird once I've farmed all other birds?
from the heavensward primae
quest is "Fiery Wings, Fiery Heart" in idyllshire
I think your sub expired
i used the steam bought version from years back but dont remember the detals
i just bought the collection and put it on a new account but i cant login when i open the game :/
yes
Download the Windows Version launcher
where is that
From, uh, I don’t have the link on hand someone else get it
!faq freetrial
just use that
!faq download
thank you
that works too
The reason is that the Steam and Windows versions of the game are actually mutually exclusive
i dont have my fat chocobo now 😭
You can’t use the Steam launcher to launch a Windows license purchased on the ffxiv store
Err
The Sqex store or similar
have to redownload the entire game
Yep
Are there protip crafting guides?
#doh-dol-lounge pins
thx
soo with Thaumaturge... it says when I cast fire it grants astral fire
but I cannot see anywhere what astral fire actually does >.<
You don’t have tool tips on ?
Astral fire increases Fire damage by 40/60/80%
I dont think its anywhere anymore. Only reference is on the job gauge description i believe
Go to hud lay out and enable item help maybe that works
Action and traits > press the job gauge button at the bottom
"While under the effect of Astral Fire, all Fire spells will have increased potency, but require more MP to cast. While under the influence of Umbral Ice, you will have significantly increased MP recovery."
Im trying to finished up my rogue LVL 1 hunting log. I can't seem to find goblin Fisher, or grounded pirate. In level 34 and Been all over the specific areas and haven't seen any
Is their a quest that has them
they might be in one of the dungeons
Ok
Have you checked x19 y17
yeah they're right next to the cookpot
unsure if this is the right place to ask but here goes... I play while being connected to discord all the time and experience no lag at all. I recently tried to voice chat while playing and the lag i experience is terrible and makes the game unplayable. I have to disconnect from the call and then completely restart the game to become lag free again. is there some discord setting i'm overlooking that can help with this?
EDIT: Turned off hardware acceleration and changed the game to borderless window, no lag anymore. Disregard. 🙂
Thanks I will check there again
Which quests do I have to do before I can talk to "Wood Wailer Expeditionary Captain" before I can do palace of the dead?
"The House That Death Built" that is found in the Gridanian adventurer guild/bar
Which requires you to have finished the MSQ quest that unlocks Copperbell Mines

I'm still doing story (post-arr) - Should i do daily roulettes now or just wait until I'm done with msq?
extra exp to get your level up faster, why not if you have the time
you could use them on another class you want to level
Oh that's actually a good idea.
If I may ask, say when I'm done with my MSQ and my main job is max, how do I level up the other jobs? Is it via instances and such?
spam leveling dungeons
does this tiering for gear priority look right?
Wep > Body = Legs > Head = Hands = Feet > Belt > Right side gear
yes, that's the general rule of thumb
but if you have a slot that's grossly under ilvl, may want to prioritize that slot first since it'll be a bigger boost generally
I'm currently only a lvl 60 weaver but does anyone know how I could make gil with the class now?
Make furniture and items that are used for leves
You’ll have to check yourself what items sell good for your server
Is the best food still popoto salad for pld?
hey, when 5.4 releases will that end our chances to do the Yokai stuff?
Yes
gotcha, thanks a lot!

Retainer cap is it accountwide or pr. character?
account wide
makes sense
so if you buy extra retainers, all characters will be able to hire the extras
