Then IMO you don’t need to worry about getting Neo-Ishgardian gear.
But for an actual answer you don’t really have much of an option in terms of combat jobs
You can try doing shadowbringers treasure maps (Zonureskin) once you get there
What level is the mourn in passing quest?
53
does the housing storehouse carry over between houses?
In terms of pure damage you want 5 Direct Hit Grade 8 on the WHM relic
like is it attached to my character
No, it’s attached to the plot
ehhh i have 0 clue how materia works in ff14 anything i can read up on
so if i have some furniture in a house that i want to move to an apartment i need to take it to my inventory
Yes
k ty
Materia are basically stat gems you put on equipment to increase the total amount of secondary stats.
balance discord has an overview on materia priority for every job
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
does reshade/gshade break when the game updates?
@heady knot are you at the end game?
yea im up to date with msq
few places, 1 being role priority when doing expert roulette
you can also get them from hunt trains
fairy beastman tribes
off the mb
hunt trains?
probably 1 or 2 more places im forgetting
hunt trains are basically what you call large groups of people coordinating together to kill a/s hunts across the zones
\
you've probably noticed a few lv 80 boss like enemies roaming around some zones right?
those are hunt mobs
yea

For omega’s “hello world I” mechanic, the blue debuff players must stand with the red player?
depends on the role

Hey ppl ! Where can I ask for recruiting a team to do a duty ?
Party Finder is going to be the best place if it's not something that's in (or commonly done in) roulettes.
Which duty are you trying to do?
Oh, yeah. Definitely Party Finder for that one.
You can also try the #recruitment-chaos channel
Aight, I'll try this as well, thanks !
guys
i cant install the game
i keep getting runtime error c++
i tried all solutions but nothing seem to work

Have you tried asking #technology-discussion ?
They might have some more ideas for you.
Hi there, potential new player, but I wonder how people generally feel about the game/company? Do they feel ignored, content dropped or any other concerns?
Also is there really any difference in the EU data centres latency etc for a UK player?
For the last question no

God this is a hard question
Aha, i wondered if it might be
For the first question, aside from the lack of content we've had because of the whole covid issue and all the shit SE had to do as a result we are generally a fairly happy community. Some of the dev team are adored like Koji Fox the meme God. Recently the dev team have been changing up their content schedule, making less dungeons each patch in favour for more unique things which seems to be generally positive. Square Enix is a company we like in general as a whole but they have made questionable decisions before. The specific business unit that makes this game are essentially idolised by the fanbase.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I frankly don't know what to say as a response
That makes sense, at least it's not overall negative or anything thanks for your help!
Have Fantasias ever gone on sale in the store before? Like during holidays or some such?
They have plenty of times, but not sure on what occasion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE9G3ByXKIE
https://youtu.be/ipcjMWixBjA
https://youtu.be/Xs0yQKI7Yw4
I just cobbled up some links to kinda get my points across. The first two just kinda give you a feel as to the development team and why we like them.
The last one kinda goes super deep into the development of XIV, the good and the bad and the company and the specific dev team for this game (it's a three parter) @twilit sage
yeah did a quick google and saw they went on sale back in May for...seemingly no reason? Have they historically been on sale during the holidays or anything? Actually, does SE do holiday sales or is it just themed stuff like with the halloween stuff last month.
Thank you! I'll have a watch 
really late, but no it doesn't
What is the best work around, when it comes to only being able to wear one unique ring?
Find another ring of similar ilevel to wear.
For leveling gear, that usually means something from a dungeon.
For level 80, that means one augmented and one unaugmented ring
Go into System Configuration in your menu and select the mouse and keyboard controls.
I can't find it
It's a toggle right at the top with two buttons, one that looks like a controller, and one that looks like a mouse.
Oh, mb, it's in Character Configuration
You can move and resize it in the HUD editor.
It's under elemental guage
yeah I got it
In the HUD settings
I moved it to the right
Cool nice
kbm vs controller is really a matter of preference

Hmm do people prefer ti give commendations to whm instead of astro or sch if there is one?
Cause I was literally the only one healing and buffing as Astro the entire team in nier raid, while whm was literally sleeping, I didnt die once while doing all this and not a single commendation :(
When I play whm I get tons of commends
most people don't either pay that much attention or just give it to the person at the top of the comm list
I usually get mine based on performance tbh
I always get 5-6 commends in raids when playing whm
honestly, don't give too much thought about whether you're getting comms or not
i pick the cute chars 
Recebtly I switched to astro and barely get any xd
Im careful with cards to give proper card to everyone
by default party sort, AST is below whm
but that said i've gotten plenty of comms as an ast
Oh I see, well doesnt matter astro is more fun to me than when I played whm
I mean it might sound like Im selfish and demand commends, but not a single one when I tried to keep everyone alive and that job felt like I was the only one cause whm on our team was very passive
Big sad T.T
yeah it happens
most people aren't paying attention that closely
and give it to whomever
Whats the point of the exp bonus on level 80 duty roulettes if 80 is the cap? can you transfer the exp
Um I dont think so
80 roulette doesn't give xp
no you can't
Its basically farming allagan tomestones
it won't exist in 6.0
Oh im so excited for lvl 90
oh right true
it'll be folded into 50-70 roulette
hey. i just finished the quests of shadowbringer and wanted to ask two questions:
- what to do?
- what is the fastest way to lvl another class (for example i want to play rev, but am a samurai)
rev?
the gunblade
hmh i see. thank you very much
Where can I get dnc weapon?
fates
I see now that I probably deleted it
good too
I checked calamity salvager for job specofoc gear and arms
But theres no dnc weapon
how fast is actually spiriting bonding works? I have HQ items, spirit potion and fighting within 10 item level range like 50 of them, but the items' bond doesn't change at all. Did I do something wrong? 😮
What time does the daily reset?
!daily
1 hour from now
@leaden ginkgo if you've got some spare poetics, i'd just go buy the shire weapons
sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but I thought that was server based, different times
the initial dancer weapon is crafted only, its not on a vendor
no, daily reset is the same for all servers
Ohh where do I get shire
Idyllshire
or ishgard, assuming you've done the main scenario quest "Heavensward"
Yes I did complete all of msq
then yeah either of those two places, ishgard might be a little easier since its everything in one nice little spot
whereas the armour/weapons in idyllshire are split between two npcs
Alright ill check it out
New player currently lv 12...I might have asked this already but...just to be sure. Is this game only quest based? Got tired of seeking quests...I'm looking to grind for gears and level...or grind for coins whatever is best
the first job is mostly questing based, yes
because main scenario quest is required, and unlocks basically everything
just rush main quest
After that will be different?

grinding dungeons/etc is largely going to be when you're leveling alt jobs
or once you've gotten to end-game
and don't have any msq to do
Oh I see
Will be grinding for gears and gearing up chars?
Or gears are basically the same thing for every class?
Trying to understand the game...pretty complex kkl
Best in Slot (if that's your end-game goal) isn't exactly the same for every job
yes, thats my goal
its a mix of tomestone (end-game currency) gear and savage raid gear
Oh speaking of quests, I'm curious what the curve is like. in the 20's and 30's, msq gave me tons of exp, I could level multiple classes with it alternating. Now at 40 and msq alone isn't quite enough to keep level up as I go, needing to stop and do fates or side quests or a dungeon or whatever. It's not really a major problem, but it leaves me curious how much of a grind it is as it progresses
which pieces you choose is going to vary on role, and sometimes even jobs within those roles are gonna be different
the Balance discord is the main theorycrafting place and usually has BiS lists
focusing on the main quest and job quest is important
Ok...will do that then
All good once you finish ARR, you wont be needing to do side stuff just to do MSQ, but even with that I greatly recommend doing your roulettes for exp and gil
Which MSQ roul gives the most XP?
tks guys
MSQ Roulette has 2 dungeons, The Praetorium and Castrum Meridianum
The Praetorium is better
i see a lot of people that didnt do job quest and there level 50 as a archer
I don't know what those are yet
How much better is it? @leaden ginkgo
I've done job quests. have bard, paladin, dragoon, white mage now, think I'm just going to focus dragoon though for msq for now.
prae isn't exactly better than castrum, in regards to exp/time
they both give good exp for the time invested, but people prefer to get prae because one, they don't have to do as much work, and two, its bigger chunk of exp because you're in there for nearly an hour
is high temps ffxiv normal?
so they go "bigger exp number = better" but castrum is still worth staying in and doing because its a decent chunk for honestly still little work but prae is a lot more afk
like i have a liquid cooling pc with 1080 gtx and i7700k with 16gb ram but it gets real hot
@agile night if you level multiple classes and don't "overlevel" you sometimes have problems. I would try to lvl a main class ahead at least ~3-4 levels
you could always lower the setting
limit your fps?
i do limit my fps
also 80 degrees for a cpu core is barely "running temp"
because if i dont the physics get choppy
I think he meant 80C
I don't think it's getting that high for me with a somewhat similar setup. idk though, your settings could be quite different from mine
Which is pretty high
80C is fairly high
mine is the cookie cutter max settings
80C is not "high" high is above 90
can I change classes at lvl 10
CPU Temp should rise above 70 underload (gaming)
rn im a wizard or something I wanna play the rogue class
Yes Dillan
no you can have all the jobs if u want
alrr
You can play all classes at the same character
thats dope
But they level seperately
I was gonna quit the first 30 mins of the game but I started playing mouse and keyboard and now its some what enjoyable
you can't start with rogue anyway
Except Summoner and Scholar which are tied together (Because they have the same pre-job)
so should i be worried its hitting 80c?
Yes
well. your computer will be fine at 80c
not really if it's under high load
cpu?
Yes but optimal range should be 65-70
i7700k
that doesn't say that there isn't a problem necessarily, but 80c won't hurt it
That K tho
what's the performance like?
if he hits 80 at every game yeah okay
I believe the 7700k fine if its below 85c
just ff not every game haha
not helpful. i would check if your fps are limited
and how much processing time ff takes
change fullscreen/windowed
Does a mentor need to have done and understood most extreme, savage and ultimate content to be taken seriously? I want to become a mentor at some point but apparently people hate on most mentors or so I’ve been told.
and im in windowed
hmm. you def. should not worry too much. but it's worth checking
Trade mentor here, not really, but people will be hating you if you be saying wrong tips and stuff
well maybe your computer needs to be cleaned?
if it's just ff nah
i assume its somewhat old since its a 7700k
because ff is not that high spec
that it's the only game that will bring the cpu to it's knees
also do full screen it uses less resource
do you need to overmeld to be able to craft current endgame items?
naaah. @next marsh check if there are bios updates for your motherboard and or cpu chipset
Any Particular reason if I have all the aethercurrents in Amh Araeng but can't fly?
There are some aether currents you get from doing sidequests
So check for blue quests
And also 1 from doing MSQ
yeah 4 blue quest
yeah you missing 4
Yeah sidequests
the top ones
ohh ok
Look for blue quests
I thought that was just for mount movement
nope
Bleh, that's what I get lol
it should be 4 blue quests
I got all the green aether currents, are the yellow ones from quests or?
@sinful mist thanks ill try checking if theres any unupdated stuff
yes
Aight
@next marsh and else keep your taskmanager or better even ressource monitor up and check how much load ff14 takes
normally it takes 35% of my gpu
About 20 levels into MSQ
whats MSQ mean

Quests with that marker are MSQ - Main Story Quests
Main Scenario Quest
alr
When we refer to something happening at certain levels, we usually mean MSQ level, which is distinct from character level.
what lvl is first raid
50
Raids are unlocked at 50
alright
Raids at first are boring fights, like mini dungeons they are
But the later dungeons ate 60 70 80
Those are cool
raids are 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 after ARR And every expansion
i think lvl 50 dungeons are fun
Not sure about Heavensward and Stormblood, but in Shadowbringers the raids are 1 room fights
Aight
@tropic frigate also blue quest that unlocks aether currents list it as the quest reward (green crystal)
And there are the 24man raids
There are two types of raids.
"normal" raids are 12 individually instanced boss fights.
Which are 3 groups of 8 man, doing a long 6 / 7 room dungeon
how long do they take
the 8 man raids are fast
Usually coded as (first letter of boss's name) + (sequential number).
more like trials then raids
24 man can take longer
8man are like 8-15?
damn thats short as hell
depends
whats the difference between trials and a 8 man raid? lol
Savage are the raids you are looking for
ff14 is not a raid centric game
Older raids of either type will generally be pretty fast, since gear scaling is a little weird.
The main difference is that trials are individual bosses with no particular sequence, while normal raids require that you have defeated the previous boss before you can move on to the next.
I want a cool mount I already know its gonna give me some stupid ass horse
as my first mount
Your first mount is a chocobo
savage 8 mans can take a fucking long time 🙂
what is that
Bird horse

@pallid reef You get some cool mounts from MSQ, and you can buy some from MB
i mean isnt edens all individual boss?
Yes
Yes, but they're sequential.
all 8 mans are individual bosses
You have to do E1 before you can do E2, etc.

I wish the sprint time was longer
who makes sprint a skill then makes it last 20 seconds
sprint is mostly used in dungeons
@pallid reef When you finish A Realm Reborn, you can unlock 8 Extreme difficulty fights, 6 of which drop mounts, when collecting all 6 you can get a 7th one thats ah so beautiful, and there is like a 3% chance to get a mount from 3 of the 8 fights, called Nightmare.
god damn
Kirin ( The one you unlock for getting all 6)
The level 50 Extreme mounts are a rainbow of sparkly horses
there are some super crazy mounts
With the kirin (seen above) being the "meta" mount
dragons and turtles and shit
Level 60 raids are colorful sparkly falcons with the meta being Firebird
Best mount is Rathalos
All ARR mounts
I find it odd how every single mount flies
Wait the bottom middle one isnt from an EX fight is it
online store mounts are expensive as fuck
Wait for a sale
how long does it usually take to get triceratops?
A good amount of time
depends on how much you grind.
You can reach the 2000 A Ranks from hunt trains, the 1000 S Ranks should be harder
would u say it'll take longer than getting an Sabotender emperador?
Never tried getting that one so idk
depends on how much you grind. like you can do a good amount of S ranks if you follow the hunt discord
eh yeah maybe in the future the mount doesnt look that great lol
@pallid reef A side note - if you don't like the chocobo, you do have the option to go on the mogstation shop and purchase (for real money) one of the available mounts there. Or, if you're lucky, you might have enough achievement points to purchase one of the achievement point mounts from the NPC near the waterfall in Gridania.
alright
Just keep in mind that your 'bo is a very useful thing, as you can learn how to use it as a combat companion from a
at level 35
You don't need to use it as a mount for that, just make sure you've gotten it.
What will my ilvl be with all bozja and augmented neo ish with relic weapon for ranged phys dps
Bozjan is 495, Augmented Neo-Ish is 490, Relic step 3 is 500
Without knowing how many pieces are Bozja and how many are augmented neo-ish, it's hard to say.
Do the math on how many pieces you got
ilevel = AVG (all item slots)
Armor set is being bozja and belt regular neo ish belt & accessories are augmented neo ish
So then your math is: (500 + (495x5) + (490x5) + 480)/12
Ty
That / by 12
This is an ARPG MMO, you've got to do the movement (mostly) on your own.
Autorun does exist but... it will run only in the direction you steer it.
Bdo had auto run but I don't play BDO anymore
I need to sleep from all the bozja grinding
the expected control rating requirement for 5.5 is gonna be like 2700 right?

my controller camera movment is inverted by defult! cuz I pres reset the settings to defult and change a lot of thing!
correct me if I'm wrong, but you can only spiritbond via FATE and dungeon run now?
oh I read 5.2 patch note. It no longer
What do I need to buy a personal house? And if I'm in a fc, can I get a room in the house the fc has ?
To buy a house you need the money to purchase it on hand, and the blessing of RNGesus
How much is that ?
Depends on the size
A small ranges anywhere from 3-3.75 million gil
Mediums are more than twice that iirc
How about if FC has a house and plot and all that, can I buy a room
Yes
How much do those go for
You can buy a room in an FC house for 300,000 gil
But at that point you might as well save 200,000 more to get an apartment instead
Since you lose your room if you leave the FC
If you open your quest journal and click the "map" button, it will show you what map to go to.
@vocal shell Good, so that means the Fat Chocobo mount is available still right because the digital Collectors Edition for "A Realm Reborn" is still available?
Yes
Okay
The upgrade is done via Mogstation
O WOW, who knew that the camera movement on controller will be inverted by defult!!!
@orchid echo also if you get 2000 commendation i believe you get the parade chocobo
3000
oof
the cake as bait is for when the fat chocobos fly
the cake is a lie
When do my dargon quests contuine?
When i thought that one guy in central highlands, it said i had to get certin quests done

anyone else play on full screen windowd get alot less fps than full screen? how to fix? 
Do you mean dragoon quests?
yes
What level are you
60
Did you do the level 50 quests
yes
Get to the next expansion
fuck
It won't let you do them until you've started the Heavensward MSQ
got a long way to go
Does Wonderous Trails no longer give Maps? I can't find them in her certificate trade thingy
Iirc you get maps as a possible reward for turning in the book itself, not from certificates
Ok so instead of offering the gil coins or allagan tomes, some weeks one of those is maps?
yep
You don't get maps from certificates
When you exchange wonderus tails, there are 3 lines of rewards depending on how many lines you got on your book
The map reward is there
Cool, I didn't know those rewards changed week to week
do they? ive always gotten the same ones lately and a map was always one of the options :0
I don't think they change

Huh, my options for 9 seals is Platinum piece or 500 tomestones. The 1/2/3 lines offer an MGP card or a Khloe's Bronze/silver/gold certificate
I mean. Maps can easy be bought off the marketboard or gatherered
So it doesn't matter
This might sound stupid, I dunno... but is there a way to refine controller targeting so that it's easier for me to target FATE enemies?
Seems like I waste a lot of time not targetting stuff.
What method are you using to select targets?
There's more than one with controller?
Look at something and tap X is the only one I know, what else is there?
Tab target
R1/L1 + R2/L2 will scroll through available enemy targets
Or you can use the touchpad (PS4 controller only) to move a cursor over the mob you want to target.
Oh huh. I should have known that before now. 👀
I tend to find tab targeting is the easiest.
Just hold either the L2 or R2 and use the L1 and R1 to tab through
Yeah, I'm trying it. It's not bad, thanks. 🙂
I really should have known this before... I just kind of accepted that targetting things was hard.
It happens 🙂
Do healing casts get interrupted if the healer gets hit?
Alright then that last healer was full of shit
only if the damage that you take is high enough I think?
Why i can't accept the quest "Up in arms" even if i have Curtana equipped?
I think you need both the Curtana and the sword?
you need curtana zenith.
Or that
How to get Curtana zenith?
I have only Curtana
you have the shield too.
Many thanks.
2 for the sword, 1 for the shield
you need both of them as well
bc yknow they're two parts of a relic
you bring them to the forge in hyrstmill and you get them to zenith
That reminds me I can upgrade my relic, too. 👀
If you've been there before, you should have attuned to the aetheryte
Uh
If you haven't, the MSQ takes you there by boat - there's an NPC by the One River
Then you probably didn't attune to it
If you didn't attune the aetheryte, just talk to the ferryman by the One River
where is the one river?
All the way down at the southwest edge of the map
I think that's the right one, yes
At the end of a current expansion such as ShB right now, will the latest relic be... good? I assume it's not as good as raid weapons, but otherwise?
completed relic is bis for healers and I think a couple of exceptional other jobs
At the end the relic will be the best weapon of the expansion basically
at the end of the expac that will be the case yes
Oh cool. I'm not "current" but I'm doing the relic quests as I go.
Dw relic isn't done yet anyway
do spiritbond via crafting need to be within -+ 10 lv?

Aelina
Ruby
thank you!
Why can't you accept the chest items in the 24 man runs?
if you have already accepted the chest items from the previous runs, then you are not allowed to.
Like I did get the item then the group got mad and voted to kick me
They were just a mean group then?
Right on the spot
did you get it?
then you already redeemed it for this week
you will only be able to roll for loot for example the minion/music scroll/cards.
no gear
Oh i was honestly thinning i did something bad then guess there some mean ppl

Anyone, willing to show me the ropes (or fish) of this game. I just got this game yesterday cause it was on sale and while having a blast there is a lot to take in!
!faq newplayertips
I...cant read this. I'm on a mobile device lol. Even opening up the webpage actually containing the picture still doesnt help
iirc there is a beginner guide here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/start_ffxiv/ too
but do ask anything
Well, I got the basics down....I mean, as far as I can grasp. Right now I'm just running around doing quests but I was wondering if I could get someone to do it with lol. And thats the truth of the matter
Basically haha!
If you do want to get friends, do join an fc, since this server is kind of split in different datacentres
^
FC?
the guilds of this game
lol
wtf kupo dumb
we don't have a free company faq
why
since its really not that necessary, most people understand what you mean if you say free company = guild
@spring tendon you could go and check out the recruitment channels if you are looking for an FC then. or just make friends ingame as you play
yeah, but could add like where to look for fc's and how to find one. @twilit arch
Huh....okay. Hmm, but guilds eh? Dont like those not one bit. In the other MMO I've ever played, I left most other guilds and abolished my own. I couldnt stand it. They were jerks. So I'm just a bit hesitant here with that concept. I'll give it a try though
bring it up in #discord-feedback then
ff14 generally has a nice community but I understand your hesitance
what datacenter/server are u on?
Um, not sure. I see something called Ultros and I know that's important but I dont know what's datacenter/server that's on
If that's even what it is for
Ultros is on primal dc
if u head to #612757637813239808 and pick ultros it will let you access the recruitment channel for it
there is no ultros role
He already has the primal role
and, MagnustheDemon already got primal role
Oh oki
Does casting a limit break deplete just your bars or the bars for the whole party?
whole party
its shared among the party
its only in pvp that you have individual limit break, though its called adrenaline there

i have a question that may not have an answer
i’m playing thru new game plus bc i skipped all the cutscenes my first time thru, i wanna know when i should play all the side quests and raids to get the full story
nice that’s what i’m going for, so like coil after ARR and alexander after heavenward?
ye
nice thanks mate
also what’s the warning triad and four lords trial story lines? don’t remember those
warring triad are sophia/sephirot/zurvan trials
four lords are byakku/suzaku/seiry trials, with hell's lid and swallow's compass dungeons
ohh okay so heavensward and stormblood right?
yeah, warring triad is heavensward and four lords is stormblood
they're both after 3.0 and 4.0 respectively
I know blue mage isn't any good, but is the content at least fun?
Wdy blue isn't good, it does broken shot
blue seems fun af
Blue runs have been the most enjoyable stuff I've done
they're not after the raid series themselves, since for the most part take place at similar times. content that's released in same patch happen at the same time more or less.
Just casually one shot stuff
just sucks it’s not a real class
And kill raid bosses from 30%
oh okay nice so i could play either first?
yeah
basically so long as you do alex and triad before stormblood
its fine, if you're going for the "complete" experience
yeah i just wanna get the whole story experience as close as possible to the real thing
regret skipping everything big time
what duty is "the great hunt"?
Hi guys, Is it true that it is required to fate chain for formidable to spawn?
Great hunt is Rathalos
mm is it a trial?
yes its a trial
and yes, you have to complete a series of fates in order for the final formidable fate to spawn, assuming the window is open @storm galleon
A Japanese player and I have been chaining the fates. But it seems that it haven't spawn yet
then the window may not be openm
The last time my world defeated formidable was around 7pm jst, Saturday I think.
I was present during the last round
Maybe the window may not be open as you mention

How long does items linger in the moogle mail? (and what is the time for arrival beetween characters?)
can I keybind a craft to go right into synthesizing it?
Is it not possible to play two accounts on one computer? My boyfriend is trying to log into his account on my desktop but it keeps telling him that he doesn’t have an active sub even though he does
Can you buy ARR Relic replicas?
yes, but you need a zeta either in your inventory or have turned it in for the first step of anima to be able to buy them
I mean when you reach and complete last step as Anima you'll be able to rebuy the older glamours?
Like they did with Anima or?
you have to have a completed zeta to be able to buy the replicas
stupid but it is what it is
So you can only buy Zeta replica?
no
no

Lvl 50/60/70 roulette gives how much exp?
Little
Level cap dungeons dont give much xp at all so youre only pretty much getting xp from the daily bonus
the reason why its tied to the zeta is there's only 2 achievements for the ARR relic
Cause a friend on the FC told me that you can only buy the replica of the last step but not the others
Thats false
whereas all the other relics have achievements tied to the various steps, so the replica unlock is tied to the achievement for those
50/60 give like 1/10 of a level lol
You need the actual zeta to buy the replicas, but you can buy any step
Ok thanks guys
how much does normal raid roulette give?
can anyone rec a good server/fc that is good
Normal raid in terms of exp is almost nonexistent but they're good for tomes
Look around in shout chat, discord recruitment, etc. for FCs and whatnot
i have i keep joining friendly but deadish fcs
How do you stop the striking dummy bug?
you can right click it and reset enmity
i am casual but like to join things when I can, I like people being on and some chat in fc, I like doing things such as daily roulettes as fc that kkind of thing also english speaking as I am too dumb to know any other language although I can say REALLY, HELLO and I LOVE U in korea
Ahhh, ok thanks!
gotta sheath your wep otherwise you're gonna grab aggro again
i just finished my first zodiac weapon book and i'm not sure what to do with it now. i read somewhere that if i buy another one then my current book will be deleted so am i supposed to use it somehow?
Mm definitely could check out chaos recruitment
the channel in this discord
look for ones that specifically mention what you want
may take a few days but you'll probably find one
yes i did i appied to a guild in game but they never accepted- I waited 48 hours
did you DM them beforehand or just join
Some guilds are not that active and might not respond at all
So, you could try applying to different guilds at the same time
This is the issue I go for ones that say friendly and they normally samll and inactive but I dont want a massive guild as they feel a biit souless
Midsized are probably better for you then
less than a hundred but more than twenty kinda thing
cause personally I'm in a rather dead FC but I'm also in another group to do things with, cause I still dick around with my FC in other things a lot
Lotta those around, they're more common than not
i tried joining a fellowship but tbh I didnt realise it was a weird message thing i thought is was llike a linkshell LFG
tried community finder?
fellowships are... probably not what you're looking for
fellowships are just messageboards but ingame
they are strange ;p
when i looked for one, i met a mentor who seems to know which fc to look for hehe
i dont know what community finder is
i think around 100 is a good number for me
asec
ty
would recommend look for a server where a lot of people who live around your area 🤔
then you wouldn't worry about the language and such
how can i get more of those ventures grey coins?
grand company seals mostly
do i need an high rank for that?
can get em from grand company
no hehe
can get em the second you're in a GC lol
talk to your gc npc -> supply mission -> trade your unused gear for gc
dungeon gear is especially nice
hide gearset item so you won't trade the equipment you are currently using
do any of you happen to remember how the animus zodiac weapon books work?
how long does it typically take for people to prep for raids?
I do
like your group is working on progression, raided, and now need to prep again.
@gritty oracle what am i supposed to do with the book before i take the next one?
i'm worried that it'll delete my progress or something

You can just get rid of it
So the book is in your key items. (I also moved it to a side hotbar so I can open it easily.) Right click and use. It has 4 tabs: enemies, dungeons, leves and fates. Basically complete the listed objectives/kill the listed mobs. When everything is done, every single entry is Xed out, you go back to Mor Dhona and go to the book guy. You cnan hand in your finished book and get your new one.
Hand it in and get a new one
oh i see, i thought i had to use it somehow to keep my progress
@glass glen are talking about in between raid sessions? Or in between tiers?
you get company seals with roulettes and stuff?
No the game automatically tracks your progress
or how do i make some
Leveling roulette and guildhest roulette both give seals
If you have crafters amd gatherers you can do daily turnins for seals
If you're above the rank of Sgt 2nd class you can turn jn old dungeon gear for seals
@glass glen I'd say as long as it takes to buy/craft new food and potions, review the raid guide, make a plan of who uses what cooldown when (e.g in E5S I used Feint on the first crippling blow, oter melee on the second, and so on, or Reprisal/Addle uses, healin cooldowns etc).
I'm asking to specify because there isnt much to prep in between tiers
Sincd there are no guides available for the next tier
All you do is prep pots and food
yeah sorry I don't really have a way to clarify. I haven't even gotten to end game and was just needing a comparison for my friends who complain about week long raid prep in wow
Its really not that complicated and routines are specific to players/their groups
Since statics are only 8 people
And whatever support group they may have if they're a hardcore progression raider
But thats really falling around the start of a new tier where the crafters go bonkers and churn out new food and gear
ID say between tiers he only thing you can do is get your crafters geared, maybe stock up on pots/food, get your main class geared and cement your rotation
Wow and xiv aren't exactly the same game so its hard to compare
The large scale mythic raid groups and what not have a lot more people management involved
Every dungeon, raid and trial from ARR level caps ilvl to the max allowed in ARR (135) ?
but no dungeon, etc, gets more than 130 , right?
Mhm
week long raid prep?
blimey
looks like a job to me
that's not a raid 😂
what game require week long raid prep?
Ive been stuck on a broth from the brine/the 65 culinarian quest for a few weeks now bc i cant get the broth to be hq does anyone have any decent tips
I'm a long ways away from it...but what got me into the game was the role of the Dark? Knight. It's a part of the tank group. Is it any good? Well, I guess good can be subjective but
SWEET
yeh, dark knight is the poster boy of current expansion (if you watch the trailer)
if you think it's cool and you like it, play it
Use hq materials to alleviate the amount of quality you need to manually buildup
@gusty sand
That's actually super freaking good. I hate metas so much. I dont doubt that meta works well but I just hate it being the rulebook for what needs to be done. So that makes me really happy.
Meta is a joke here
Its only really sorta relevant for speedkills
But youre better off playing something you like/what you're good at
Speaking of it being a joke tier lists are too
Im good as a tank. Oh, and what's the story progression? You've got main game, then expansion 1, expansion 2, etc etc.
oo realm reborn -> heavensward ->stormblood -> shadowbringer
!faq tankguide
Things arent quite the same tanking here as it is in other games
Not that it makes it tougher
And if I were to do Dark Knighr at level 30...would that break the game progression?
But some things you might be habituated into doing would not be the same here
As long as I can eat hits im happy
hmm don't think so 🤔
You can't start with dark knight
You'd have to play the base game all the way through on something else first
Oh....that's sad
oo that's what you mean
yeah, you can only play dark knight on 2nd expansion hehe
But makes sense. Is Paladin base game then?
yeh
Yes and so is warrior
Okay, guess I'll go Paladin then....and corrupt into a dark knight >:3c.
But let's see then hmmm. Okay okay. Now is there a channel where I see if other players are willing to tag along with me in my adventures or is this the channel for that? Or should I go to the FC channel and look for a group there?
Can look around in the related recruitment channels of your datacenter
Also community finder is a new thing square has made
On the lodestone
Make sure you look for someone with a
icon
Okay, thatd be the primal one then. Now does it matter if I'm in Ultros and let's say....person H is in behemoth?
And ask for a novice network
Invite
No all content is cross server
Across a data center
You can play with anyone on primal
And even visit them
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
It doesn't matter. So long as that person is a mentor, they can invite you to any novice network
In any server
Just wave to them or use /say chat
How do I get to the lodestone from within the game? I'm on ps4 so...navigating the menu and Hud and whatever else has been super tricky
The quest only provides regular ingredients from an npc its a story quest
I would invite you to novice network if i was online but I am not
Right @gusty sand completely forgot about that. Work through upgrading gear a tad?
The quests are designed to be doable
Make sure your accessories are ok because cp cap might be whats hinderung you
Make sure to use skills like inner quiet
Ah
And prudent touch
Alternatively you can overlevel past it and the outgear it hard enough to trivialize the quest
Ill probably do that lol
How do I unlock Ixali Vendor ?

@open ember if and when you get online, if I'm still floating around...which I should be, mind helping me then?
Hey guys! I started ff14 back up and was wondering if any FCs were recruiting in Brynhildr. :)
where can I get treasure maps?
regular gathering start giving maps randomly after unlocking them? Or should I do anything special, or go to an exact place for gathering?
They're hidden items so they show up randomly in node. They're in level cap nodes
@shrewd mirage you have to finish ARR. when you've finished that there's a side quest in the waking sands to unlock beast tribe quests. you will have to do ixal quests daily to get your reputation up to unlock more items from the vendor.
Are "level Cap" nodes, the regullar nodes where I gather ?
Yes
If i start a new game plus do i get to redo the side quests?
How long does it take to unlock moogle tribe quests
Can I open treasure chests in party for defeating mobs that appear?
Yes, but doing in party, to avoid being killed by them
Yes
or is it not neccesary?
How can I know if a map is for parties?
Can I know the level of the mobs before clicking chest?
They're the level cap of that expansion
ok thxs
Is there a guildhest for dark knight? To check if there is anything I havent learned yet about tanks?
There's isn't class specific guildhests
ah,ok. Where can I get tanks guildhests?
There isnt really role specific guildhests either. Just the guildhests that are already there that are basic and bad tutorials
They end at lv40
ah, ok, I only did the first 3 and never did them again, I supossed they were worth, because they even have a roulette
The guildhests give a modicum of gil if u need
They're not that worth. Its the worst roulette
I believe there is a completion bonus for guildhests that resets every week
Oh I see
But they're really not thaaat great
Guildhests are obsolete content
So what's the point of guildhests then

You can ignore them
IIRC at the beginning, they teached me the basics of how to play this mmo
I find that I doing the guldhest challenge log as white mage gets me more comms than anything
I get more in a day than I do in a week
From completing the guildhest challenge log
anecdotal.. hit or miss. Guildhests do barely a decent job at helping with actual stuff that matters..some is useful, i guess though
Nowadays there is Hall of the Novice, a far more useful tutorial
^
Guildhests teach nothing of value really
What are battle wardens?
Guildhest givers
I'm reading that guildhests are done in party, I remember doing the first 2 alone, without party, and that they were basic tutorials.
Also obsolete
They have the levemete symbol above their heads
Guildhests are all done with a party.
guildhests are like "pull the groups one at a time" and the tank has pulled all of them by the time the sprout has read the text
That is not the levemete symbol
Why don't they increase the guildhest reward
They can actually be interesting challenges
No they can’t
We have real content for that
To make them worth doing
wow, I dont remember that, my memory must be pretty bad, It was 3 years ago lol
Guildhests are obsolete and jankily designed relics of ARR launch
Yes but sometimes you don't have enough time to do a dungeon
What is hall of novice?
U just wanna do a duty real quick
Relics of 1.0 honestly
When there was something called Behests
To which Guildhests were conceived of as the sequel
It's like something you quickly do in the morning before work/school or something
While eating breakfast
There is virtually zero interest in doing that from either the devs or the playerbase.
There's still alot of interest, guildhests queues are rather quick
guildhests could work if they were like even shorter and they made it go like warioware or something where you could do as many as you like very quickly and then just quit and someone would get filled in immediately
So many people are still doing them
Anyone can help me farm Fate for Yokai legendary medal in Ruby Sea? (Server Gilgamesh)
Because I want make quickly
There’s not interest.
And not just novices either
What's the point of Doman restoration?
What's the first thing to do for PVP, I have the first 2 unlocked in duty finder, but I've never done anything PVP related.
Unlock a vendor which pays double gil for your sold items, rebuilding the zone and seeing the story and progress
Go to the Wolves’ Den and arrange your PvP hotbar
Then try queueing for Frontline
It’s the most casual mode
And pops the most often.
Anyone willing?
You should try making a party finder Zra
How?
I can see only 6 actions in my XHB in Wolves' Den (and 6 more with ?), is that all I can use, or can a put more there?
Open the Pvp profile to see all your actions
You have less actions than PvE and they work differently
oh, ok, thxs
The fates in the books needed for Atma relic quests are random events too or?
Yes, except for like one or two being part of a fate chain, they’ll randomly spawn
Pvp are large scale...frontlines are usually 24v24v24 type fights
The Feast is 4v4 or 8v8 in a small arena type PVP
Feast is 4v4 or 8v8...Rival wings is...2 sides of 24 i think
people do strategy, or everyone just goes to try to kill everything that moves?
Attempted strategy, not that many listen
Most complex strategies I usually see are pinches/sandwiches
If I do Feast TRAINING Match, is with party or just me?
Basically ambushing one team while they’re distracted by the other team
Training is the 8v8 version, IIRC
Why Frontline says requirment is Duty Availability?
Are they only available at an exact time per day?
The mode it is rotates daily
So you probably haven't unlocked today's mode, so do the unlocks in wolves den
I cannot see any quest giver in wolves den
in frontline I have unlocked Onsal Hakair, does that mean I have everything unlocked relating pvp ?
And must wait for the correct day?
I have unlocked just 1 in frontline, 1 in rival wings, and feast training and feast ranked

@spring tendon helping you with...?
Should have 4 different Frontline duties. Try checking if you have a quest at your grand company
I hit a training dummy, now battle music cant stop and I cant transport
how can I get out of wolves den when I cant transport?
Right click the dummy to reset enmity
(Square button if on console)
wooow, I wanted to know that since months ago lol, I used to get away from them very far, hahaha
It was added in 5.3
I started playing afterr that, but never knew it existed
Hey guys
I'm normally getting 60 fps on my game but sometimes it randomly drops to 30
I have no idea why that happens
I dont think I have, but I could be wrong, I dont have any pvp-related quest in journal, which npc in gc should I check?
sounds like a #technology-discussion question
is it worth it to lvl up desynth now?
Should be one of the ones kinda near the FC chest
Just check all of them there’s only like 6 NPCs anyways
The quest is called “Like Civilized Men and Women”
Alright I'll write there
If I want to buy an apartment at the goblet - how would I go about doing that?
