numpad / does nothing at all
is num lock on?
was
cause thats the common issue i see when it comes to the auto-walk thing
still doing it though with it off
cuz i once accidentally hit it and got stuck walking
/ doesn't affect the walking speed at all while its happening. Once the bug goes away I can use the hotkey again
Maybe double check your keybinds? maybe you accidentally rebound that key to like, tab or something
the keybind works after the slow speed bug disappears
Just noticed theres a little walking guy when you have walk turned on.
This symbol doesn't appear during the bug
or it does but the bug occurs regardless of it
if i open ff14 on steam
does it automatically activate my steam stuff?
or I mean sub
your sub gets activated when you register the game to mog station
at least the 30 days do
and then your sub if you have any
ok
that's actually pretty epic

ok so like
if i start the yokai watch event
from scratch
how long will it take to get EVERYTHING
and is it possible to do it by next tuesday
lol
a while, and theoretically yes
so the patch note for 5.4 won't be available until next week right?
No
whats a good source of xp among these dungeons? https://gyazo.com/cb9f325bb907d71820ed2f4114a8748d?token=53be05cab27130664b73d6bff47a0614
Pants and gloves only drop in e7s and e6s respectively
!faq savageloot
interesting
None of them, go with Aurum Vale
@robust crow I was able to rush Yokai event from scratch in three days with max level BLU
So still time for sure
and just kill the monsters there?
@molten fog for future reference, lvl 50/60/70 dungeons are no good for exp
oh
And clear the dungeon
They were the endgame dungeons in their respective expansions so they aren't designed for exp in mind
Any exp gain was added when a newer expansion was released
They give tomestones instead
i cant find my tomestones
Currency window?
Currency screen
They’re all Allagan ones
Allagan Tomestone of Poetics can be used to purchase the respective (old) endgame gears at lvl 50/60/70
Phantasmagoria and Allegory are lvl 80 stuff, so don't worry about them for now
You ought to buy ironworks equipment with them
Quick question, the numbers you see in the duty finder when youre at Duty Roulette, like how much XP + Gil it's gonna give, is that already the boosted value if you play as the adventure in need role?
The adventurer in need values?
Those are for playing the needed role but they're in addition to your normal roulette rewards
I have question. Is it needed to give real information: name, surname, birthday.... before subscription? I'm playing on my account trial but want to buy full access soon
It should have all the info it needs from your account
Outside cc info for your sub etc.

does anyone have living dead macro with a timer?
i cant change which region i want to play in?
on steam
as in, i can't select which region to play in. i am locked to EU region.
once you log in you choose the data cneter you want na/jp/eu
you're locked to eu for payment only
when i click on world selection, it gives me only EU
Go back to the title screen and you can pick the data centre
hello im trying to play the game trough my steam version its opening the FFXIV launcher tried logging in says expired or somthing need help
you either bought the base game andonly used hte free 30 days, or your sub ran out
most likely
do level 80 and level 70 gears get synced to level 50 dungeons the same amount?
@lost copper what does your mogstation show for this?
Yes
I’ve basically been playing since the game came out for PS4, around patch 2.25
is rank 4 vet rewards max rank then?
Yes
The veteran reward system used to be a lot longer, with it including a bunch of the stuff that you could buy from Jonathas.
Before the system get reworked, it ended at like 1400 days of sub for the Squall outfit
1400 days
they don't give any mounts?
Behemoth mount was one of the rewards
is the code in the mogstation region free?
So, new to the discord, and looking to see if anyone else has run into the problem I'm having, or knows of a work around.
I've run into a problem with MSQ progression. I'm effectively stuck.
Next MSQ quest required three Hard trials to be unlocked and done before I can continue;
Bowl of Embers (Hard)
The Navel (Hard)
The Howling Eye (Hard)
The first of which, comes from Thancred..... in the waking sands. Problem is, in my progression, Thancred is no longer there. He's at the Rising Stones. And does not offer the needed quest.
What do? >.>
@short minnow look for the quest “A Recurring Problem” from minfilia in the waking sands
@honest anvil if you want to look at the old reward tiers https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Veteran_Reward
next time that happens, check pre-req for the quest; certain unlock quests need to be unlocked via other quests
Thats how I found this in the first place, checking pre-reqs for the next quest in line.
I'm just following the MSQ chain trying to get through ARR/Post-ARR and ran into this weird spot where these three totally un-related Hard Trials are required to be done before the next quest can be done
when pre-req has its own pre-req, that happens
It's not that unrelated plot wise
Thats besides the point currently.
sure sure
So Minfilia is no longer at the Waking Sands either. Shes at the Rising Stones. And that quest mentioned isn't offered by her.
Papalymo is still here at the Waking Sands and offers the second of the Hard Trials, but I have to do the first one from Thancred before he'll give me the quest.
Can you share a pic of your quest journal and how the waking sands looks quest-wise? Might be something else.
I only have one active quest atm and its for the immortal flames.
Which part of the journal do you want to see?
active quests and completed quests
Completed quests in the “chronicles of a new era - primals” section
completed quests under that section. Appears as though I've already done the Hard Trial for the first one.
._.
but its still not available
Do I have to do a quest to make my mount fly?
Looks like you need to do the Ifrit HM duty
Simply unlocking it isn’t enough
!faq flying @frozen girder
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
How do I summon the Potatoe god?
?
Wait
Could swear I've done that dungeon five times in the last couple days
So I have to collect thingys on the map to fly
In expansion areas, yes
But it's also story locked
Only in Heavensward onwards
you might have been doing normal
Yes
That is entirely possible >.>
So I can't fly at all yet
normal has 4 people, hard has 8
You do the whole main story quest on foot. Then you get to fly aftern
https://gyazo.com/4a68c584761c1f053bfcca4b95ac1029 the heck is ltw??
Well
Leatherworker
I do it on my carbuncle
:3
THIS MOUNT IS SO CUTE
I love it
I could spend hours just watching it jump
So now that I have a mount
I should probably start the class quests
:3
How do I summon the Potatoe god?
uh oh looks like someone's summoning primals, sound the scion alarm
wheres the tool at?
Sitting at level 45 with the level 10 class quest
Either in your armoury or your inventory
Depending on how you have it set up to where new equipment goes
XD
lol that'll be me with my Dragoon soon, Fire. already at level 65 and I'm not even done with post-ARR yet.
gonna wind up being 70+ and just starting to get access to the 50+ DRG quests.
I wanted my Carbuncle ¯_(ツ)_/¯
tbf, Carbuncles are adorable. Worth it.
I bought it 2 days ago
please, please do your job quests
I didn't know I had to unlock it 😭
they give you very important things
Oh I know, FAQ xD
Just can't do any more of the job quests until I get farther into the MSQ.
think they meant to glows_Fire
level progression is very much out of sync with where I am in the story.
that's just how it be
can always start a second class to sponge some ofhte exp
for arr, just finish arr
do your job quests and get your job stone, you are literally making your life and everyone you party with's lives so much harder by not having it
I did. I started playing as WHM. Which is already at level 58, too 🤣
for hw, sb and shb, you need to collect aether currents
ok, just checking
Literally no one will literally play with you in level 30+ content if you don't do your class quests. You'll in all likelihood get massively shit on or straight up kicked
I'm still doing level 20 content :o
Just making the point~
just finish sylph management
The leveling with Road to 70 is so out of wack I'm doing level 20 content at level 50 XD
which is like a level 20 msq
what have you been doing to get that high
Story ._.
that
I'm level 48
the buff gives too much exp
Thats not wrong, really. I was getting 4-5 levels out of one Leveling Roulette on WHM when I first started it. Was kinda nuts
I don't remember being that high level at level 20 MSQ
I'm getting like 220% EXP
That's....way higher than you should have buff or no buff but that's besides the point I guess
unless the MSQ changes really fucking boosted that xp
Wait am I not supposed to do every side quest except the class one?
that much
no
^
:3
No Glow
Yellow side quests are completely ignorablr
Can you get King Slime Crown right now?
No
I have been treating every zone like WoW, being a completionist for Q my level haha
No
Ok thanks.
I've done every yellow one on the side
yellow side quests are quite literally useless in 99% of cases
yokai came back, that could come back too.
I did that too until i reached a new city and the
blinded me
Ah took a year break. Darn. Also assuming I can't get Postmoogle Cap either.
We have lots of events
Postmoogle cap you can get
Post moggle is just a quest line
I just want the Rainmaker hairstyle. Which hasn't been obtainable since like.... 2018. 😐
I'm super excited about this game
You need to do the postmoogle questline in ARR
what do i do if i dont have a 'weathered head knife' that an npc supposedly gave to me? for the leatherworking questline
buy one
Buy another one
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Delivery_Moogle_Quests @obsidian hornet
This questline
from where? btw i cant access the online market or whatever its called
NPC should sell it
npc vendor
in the marketplace
@wintry chasm ty, pretty long quest chain wow
ty ill check it
I'm sad
It literally like, has you go all over the ARR areas and meet all the NPCs you met over X and Y questlines and whatnot
it's not that long if you skip the cutscenes lol
All the loot from the class quests is like 40 levels under mine ._.
I'd almost go as far as to say it's like, an ARR retrospective
It'll be like for you for awhile now xD
Yes
I wind up buying gear off the MB as I level DRG. Always wind up 15 or more levels above where I am in the MSQ
You really should have it in your armoury chest though unless you somehow discarded it
That's super pointless, I really wouldn't bother
And extremelu high priority
the only gear that is worth keeping is the poetics imo
They're super pointless? Guess I don't need to do class quests
other gear is junk or turn ins
:3
Above 40
if i got you in my df, i'm going to kick you out tbh.
I like playing Thamaturge tho
Black Mage
Tell that to the people in the Crystal Tower Raids that bitch if you're only at ilvl 90 and trying to get them out of the way so you can continue MSQ.
Black Mage is overrated
There's 0 reason not to advance to yournjob
it is not
Thaumaturgy > Black Mage
You're literally missing 95% of your kit
you will not progress the game without it
k game decided to strip all of my clothes off once i equip the leatherwork knife
tbh a lot of people will kic kyou in 30+ content with no job stone
or updated skills
you need crafter gear
you're literally impeding their play at that point
and yours
Its basically griefing
No that's still pointless since ironworks gear costs basically nothing and is ilvl 130 and so you can do CT pretty immediately after finishing 2.0 without spending anything
Glow seriously don't troll
buy from marketplace?
wouldn't bother with buying crafting gear
Thats what I did to get through it, but when I went through, we struggled a bit because some people barely had the ilvl to get in and killing things took longer than most were used to. The amount of kindergarten back and forth in that run was awful.
But as with anything in these, individual runs will vary xD
Subsequent runs since then have been substantially better.
this is a grave you dug with your own hands my friend
how do i increase the text/textbox?
._.
n-no?
PC or PS4 controls?
Legit I summon it and I can't see anything else for 3/4 seconds ._.
lower your screens overall brightness then
WHM's Holy AoE is the one that gets me. xD
pc
Turning down monitor brightness a little should do. Not sure theres a way to turn off spell effects in the graphics settings. I'm looking now, out of curiosity.
for shb hunt trains do you get a t8 materia every time? or is it chance? i am getting full poetic reward but not always a meteria item
You can reduce spell effects yes
based on contribution
A-ranks feel like 50% chance, S-ranks feel like 100%
since im getting full poetic/allegory rewards i assumed i was capped on contribution
hi, does Astrologians cards all the same or not?
No wonder I was having trouble finding it. Its in character settings instead of graphics. What an odd place to put it.
Half buff melee/tanks more, other half buff ranged/casters/healers more
no, ive gotten varying rewards based on the amount of people/amount of damage/aggro my party puts out, can be only tomes/nuts or can be + t7 materia, +t8 materia or both
Well the graphics setting is in the SYSTEM settings so it makes sense tbh
Besides that they’re all identical in how much they boost
@obsidian patio someone told me that but i don't know how to use them like that
use draw then drag the cursor over the card and read hte descriptions
When you draw a card it’ll have a blue or purple border on the gauge
am confused
Look at your jon gauge
It should be..
System -> Graphics -> Effects
But this is: Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Battle Effects section
Not what I'd call a normal place to put a graphics control.
if you play in English the easiest i found is:
card with a in name goes to melee
card without goes to range/caster
If its purple, it goes on ranged
purple outline boarder is range/healers
yes
No its ranged



There's very little thinking on cards
bAlance speAr Arrow -> melee
ewer bole whatever the third one is -> ranged
Draw > check the job gauge boarder > if blue, tank/melee goes it, if purple, range/healer gets it
Go about youe day
You have your entire cast bar to check
so why a monk told me to give him the ewer!!
3% dps is still a dps increase
It increases damage for all jobs, but further still for the correct role
its just if there was a range
!action the Balance
it would be 6%
Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is melee DPS or tank, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Solar Seal when used in combat
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
oh
so just pick what ever job is the best for the given situtation
thanks that make so much sense
one time a machinist went so mad because i gave him an arrow
-.-
?
That's dumb.
Arrow is primarily meant for melees
maybe he thinks its like how the old arrow work 
so am just like i need to ask
Just a small question, do all races sit in the Flying Chair mount the same way?
Even if you only have 1 dps type, you should still give cards to the correct role unless one dps is doing absurd amount of damage
in this weird pose?
Its just practice
as you get familiar with your job it becomes easier
Abuse your cast times to make decisions
Each race/gender sits in it differently
or be me, who hasnt touched my 70 ast in like year until today

gotta cap all those jobs though
hahaha
Thanks. Guess I'll have to see if there's any pics of them online.
Even gender is a factor? Interesting.
Just googling stuff like "Viera flying chair" gets you a lot
thanks for the help ^^
for example
Yeah, juggling the different things is kinda hard at first. I'm only just learning how to handle adding in DPS between healing and cleansing debuffs off people.
Though there are some instances where you just can't do DPS. Like when you wind up in King Mogs Hard Trial and the other healer goes afk for the whole thing, leaving you to manage the entire group XD
We made it without any deaths. I dunno how. But we did 🤣
I wonder if using a fantasia because of the way you sit on a mount is one of the dumbest reasons to use a fantasia
Aaaaaaaaaall caught up on my class quests now >_>
There was prodigious use of Medica II in that trial.
Moggle Mog HM is pretty chaotic if the tanks don’t hold onto the tank moogles
not on controller atleast
I like slapping the ground as scholar
Did you unlock the job?
Still sad unreal isnt moogle mog
Yeah the tanks didn't do a very good job with holding aggro on all the adds. Which is why I'm surprised we made it through with just me healing.
Was quite hectic.
titan unreal is gonna be funny. but i don't get why people are scared of it (never done it on content)
its not a savage fight right?
Only the king and tank moogles can actually be tanked
Unreal is extreme
It's an extreme fight Isiah
I just made sure to toss regen on the tanks every so often and hit the party with Medica II to get caught up on all the weirdness and hit everyone with a regen.
The rest just do their own thing
i know, but people are treating it like its extremely diffcult
i dont know, people have gotten alot better at this game.
The servers were pretty laggy back in 2.1, which made it especially hard
I think the whole Titan thing is a little overblown since I hear one of the main reasons titan EX was a nightmare when released was that there was no min ilvl requirement and like, gearing up was pretty hard so you'd literally have healers and shit who could get one shot
The worse netcode/lag made dodging casts hard
Even Though these days the casts do seem pretty fast for stuff light Weights
Plus Perma death if you fall
Vets have ptsd of it
Well, I was hoping to get this trial done and see if I'm just being a forgetful idiot. But... someone kill me now plz 😂
you're doing this in the middle of night where all the normal people are asleep or have done there trial roulette for the day

ik >.<
I don't often get a chance to play during normal hours
So its kinda hit n miss
okay nice
Ok so, now that its done.
I either derped, or doing it again fixed it. More than likely I derped and thought I'd done it, but hadn't.
So, thats a thing.

have fun with Titan
Titan (hard) actually isn't that HARD
The Howling Eye (Hard) is the next one for me, and thats..... Garuda
Shouldn't be too bad?
it’s alright. just enjoy 1st time experience 🙂
I mean, the normal Garuda is a cakewalk really
"hard" is normal, except at a level cap
i ran out of my allagan coins for doman restoration - is there anything i could buy for poetics to donate instead?
someone told me demi crystal .. never tried it myself though
those got nerfed not too long ago i think :( they used to sell for 500 gil but they're 50gil now
that’s unfortunate ...
tbh you could probably buy the allagan pieces for their market value
and then trade those in for restoration for a small profit
also moonstones are good and can get them with GC seals
That's what got nerfed
So i want to try out FF14 do get it on Steam or get the actual Launcher on the website?
I'd do the actual site, I find that it's generally less of a pain in the ass
kk
ooo, i'll look into the moonstones and the allagan pieces - thank you!
tier 3 of clear demi is still expensive i think
@gaunt anvil if the sale is still going on steam if you want that discount
unless the client also has
a sale
but yeah steam tends to fuck up expansions
like everytime
so is this a monthly subscription game?
Yeah, I tried getting the trial on steam, it was a pain so i took it on SE's site instead
Yes
There are 2 sub formats tho
@gaunt anvil oh right play on the trial
I heard it was free to like a certain point
trial lets you go up to lv 60 for free
yea i just got the trial version lol
so base game + 1 expansion
Play the trial, thanks to it I started paying for the game after level 60
if you buy the game, youll be taken of the trial
which is cool
so ideally you wanna maximize your time spent before buying in
true
Only con is that I had to be an elezen for 2 expans because I had no viera access
but there are also annoying restrictions that people just end up wanting to get rid of
well the base game and an expan
you can't trade, you can't tell, you cant hold more then a certain amount of gil
ect.
Like not being able to whisper people, or use the market board
But the free trial is a good experience
so its up to you if wanna go the full distance, or pay for it, just note that once you do
yea ill see how FF14 is
you get 30 free game days, before the sub starts kicking in
i heard the community is really nice and stuff and i like tht
I heard the total opposite of that
but so far it's been okay
And I didn't really meet any toxic players
Guess people have subjective takes and experiences
Overall the games community is aight
My experience with FF14's community has been loads better than say... my initial months spent in WoW, back in the day.
@timid geyser its just a matter of who you meet, cause you know, its the internet and one or a few bad experinces with people will really skew your opinion
i will say this one thing
oh this is a big download lol
ffxiv players are way to invested, and too overbearing sometimes
that it boarders on toxicity
IF I didn't meet any toxic players
Maybe that means I'm the toxic player 
oof lol
@patent citrus it means that they are a die hard fanboy and to personally involved with something thats just a game.
to the point where they just end becoming almost preachy and demand you do things a certain way
I've yet to run into anyone remotely like that
hmm I think it's good
good society has rules and culture
if you encourage people to do w/e they want, rather live in a jungle 😂
some content demands u to do things a certain way like savage or extremes
but other than that who rly cares
if i move the game files ill still be able to run it right?
i mean the entire game file
uh idk if that's the case anymore
I think it's only when you reach a certain level in a preferred server where you get 15 free days?
idk
or when you buy the game when you're in a preferred server
30 levels
You didn't
.-.
You're definitely definitely misremembering
Welp
do I get reward if I turn in an expired tail journal?
wth khloe 
bitch what kind of materials do you use to make the sticker book
that you call it yucky after 2 weeks
smh

its actually made out of the flesh of her enemies so after 2 weeks its crawling with maggots
I just spent like 20 min trying to realize why I hadn't gotten Black Mage after doing the level 30 quest
_>
do ur msq always 🙏
what do people means when they say comfortable melds?
Is there a way for me to experience the other starting class stories?
Comfy means there are options, so pick whatever you’re most comfortable with
It’s usually in reference to either Skill/Spell speed, as that controls your GCD, and Piety for healers since that controls mana regen
For example, if your objective is “9 GCDs under No Mercy” for example there’s a number of GCD options that get you there
@frozen girder just buy the class weapon and equip it
wanna experience marauder? buy the axe
white mage? buy the wand/rod
And then you can do the whole quest line?
yeh
Coolio :3
if i failed to pentameld into one of my equips, is it automatically the materia's going to be broken or gone?
Yeah, the materia is lost
@frozen girder don't forget to equip the job stone when you switch to clas over 30 😂

I'm p sure you actually have to unlock the class first by going to the class's guild
Yeah, if you talk to any of the guildleaders they'll introduce the guild and give you a basic weapon
yeah this is false.
You have to go do the unlock quest.
oh really? o_o
nice
glad someone corrected it
@frozen girder my mistake, please follow this guide https://www.millenium.gg/guide/17736.html
to unlock the class you want
need to do the job quest in respective city first, find the blue quest
do all spellcasting of arcanist gets interrupted if i move even a bit?
If it has a cast time, yes
@oblique yew casting in general yes, some jobs have innately faster cast times, other times (way in the late game), you can meld sps on yourself to make your casts go faster if you're going for a sps build
(typically thats usually for black mages)
nah nah. i am only playing this till lvl 10. then i plan on switching to rogue
good luck then
you gonna need 2 classes+ to switch or you will be overlevel'd 🤔
doesnt matter if they're overleveled
in fact i think being overleveled is a good thing
Heya, do you guys think there will be a holiday Mogstation sale? Just wondering if I should hold off buying the stuff I want if there will be a discount...
there's some very slight wiggle room in the movement cast interruption
you can definitely start moving while the cast bar is still on screen and it'll still go off but it's only like the last 0.1-0.2 sec or something, might have to do with server latency or doing it at the right time in the server update cycle or something
haven't really looked into it, just some casual experimentation
i am confused. i cant be just lvl 10 to get into rogue? do i have to do my lvl 10 class quest as well?
You need to do your questd
Your level doesn't mean alot...its always quests to unlock stuff
do i have to do my lvl 10 class quest as well?
it's the initial lv. 10 class quest that unlocks getting additional classes
yeah level's needed to unlock the quests themselves and the quests unlock everything
they'll be like "hey if you wanna have more classes feel free, we don't mind" at the end

hello, I have a problem with my ps4 when I launch the game I have an identification code already marked and it is impossible for me to delete or change it, then I do not remember the email address would you have a solution please ?
how do i find grade 1 carbonized matter
When will the next Road To 70 buff be, most likely?
uhh elaborate
if you mean preferred servers then there's some in each region currently already
but road to 70 is a once-per-character buff that lasts 90 days from character creation or as long as the server is preferred
Perferred status changes every patch
So for patch 5.4, there will be other servers who'll be perferred, and some who become standard or those that become congested
They never announce those before patch maintenance
And road to 70 doesn't change. There is no "next road to 70"
They won't implement road to 80 until 6.0
Hey guys, what’s the fastest way to level up an alt healer class from 70 to 80?
No but I could unlock it probably, I’ve completed the main Shb story and a little bit after it
spam dungeons and bozja
okay thanks guys appreciate it
Bozja is a useful leveling system and shouldn't ignored tbh
You'll realize how fast it is
Soo I was considering moving to Elemental from Chaos, how bad is my ping going to be?
press V
Central La Noscea in the north
Between the access to Western La Noscea and Easter La Noscea
oh lol
i couldnt see it in my gather log
I even took a screenshot to show lol
That's because you must click on the blue pickaxe
Yes, it shows you stuff you gather with the hammer
I'm currently leveling miner so if you need help with something else ask me
I did the quest you're doing yesterday lol

Good luck on those 99 grade 1 carbonized matter lol

Obtained when I was trying to get HQ stuff
got lucky on jade but for amethyst it took me ages
you can just buy stuff for job quests from market
Too expensive
I don't have 40k to spend for a quest
I'd rather keep them for other stuff
That "wiggle room" with the cast bar that you've noticed actually has a name - "slidecasting". For spellcaster classes it's considered mandatory to know how to take advantage of that discrepancy (caused by server ping) in order to avoid mechanics without interrupting your casts.
Whatever was needed cost 40k on your server?
40k for 20
So i checked on other servers using the bot
not any better
So I just gather myself, gets me some exp and extra mats for crafter quests (in case they're used)
yeah i've mostly used it to slide along as healer to get things better inside my self-aoes, i'm still progressing through the msq and not doing hard stuff so i'm not optimizing that hard and would rather dodge more safely and survive
well, anyhow, buying from market is one option should gathering yourself takes too long was the point ... can be expensive but it’s an option
!faq slidecasting
• Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
• Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
• Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:
Sometimes it's actually cheaper to buy them off the mb
Like legit it is
I did the math and from experience myself, sometimes depending on which server and data center you are in can determine whether or not you buy the items itself
I skip the crafting/gathering part in DoH/DoL quest because it actually cheaper to do it
Like legit
The cost to craft the item is much higher than buying it whole sometimes

whats the best method for leveling mining
do i mine things that i have 100% success rate on
oh, where do i buy that
Or do Ishgard resto if you have it
grand company
whats ishgard resto
you get the extra good ones for starting on the lv50 tier of job quests (i think?) but you're probably not there yet lol
ishgard restoration is a lv60 thing
Is there a way to "load appearance data" without backing out of creation and coming back in?
did you finish Heavensward ?
Then go do this quest to unlock it : Towards the Firmament
It's in the Foundation
X:9.7 Y:11.5
That's good XP?
I started yesterday, I'm level 46
Only exp boost comes from my survival manual
Are you on a preferred server ?
Ishgard Restoration is very good xp for crafters and gatherers
im on Gilgamesh
Do you have road to 70 ?
i have no clue what that is
Although the caveat for crafters is that you need high enough CP rating to make the turn ins at a high enough collectible quality.
Otherwise it's a waste of gil and time

Only a waste of time for me since I gather everything lol
lol
Road to 70 is the "preferred server" buff that gives +100% xp gains from all sources. @neat mauve
Does it stack with manuals ?
It should stack with everything.
that's pretty epic, that makes a shitton of exp
I know that it definitely stacks with rested bonus, armory, equipment bonuses, and food.
I'm balmung so no road to 70 for me
i dont think i have that buff
sad
You said you're on Gilgamesh?
still gives good exp
Then you don't.
Sadge
All the preferred servers on NA right now are on Crystal DC
Balmung, Brynhildr abd Malboro aren't
How do I get the hunting manual thing
Aura wasn't saying all of crystal is preferred
So, I wana become a SAM, anyone got any tips and tricks for me?
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe

Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Why are there almost always so many ppl from North America playing video games?
balmung is never preferred
Yeah
You get survival manual at your Grand Company
It costs 2k seals
Well, depending on the one you get
I have the +150% till level 49 and it costs 2k seals
for the higher level one I need to raise my GC rank
Mainly cause NA has the highest population of any continent in the western world.
yeh, if you seen the latest cencus rank 1-11 the most populated servers are all NA lol
Is there a website to keep tabs on prices for different servers
Aha, I see.
not sure about the specific demographic but overall it 4x Germany's population
nothing that's going to be up to date, as it requires players with an ACT plugin to update prices @steel finch
but universalis is pretty much your best (and iirc really only) choice
there's also a lot of people not from NA who go in NA servers
more than the opposite
You'll rarely meet an american in EU/JP servers but meeting Europeans and Japanese in NA servers is more common (more for europeans than japanese tho)
Thx @twilit arch
i've met many US in Tonberry 😂 they fill up the afternoon queue basically
I think in my fc alone (200 members) there are like 5 of them
I don't say you won't meet any but it's rarer to meet US players outside of US servers than EU players in US servers
I'm an NA player and I've got characters on both EU and JP servers in addition to NA.
But most of the English-speakers I meet on Tonberry tend to be NZ and AU players.
I'm too lazy to do the MSQ again on my alt 😂
That's what I was saying 😠
Calm yourself. I just confirming

this is a really dumb question, but how do i exit dungeons and trials on keyboard and mouse?
Press U on the keyboard
like the big blue glowing thing only lets me target it
and if I finished it it doesn't "cancel" it when i do this right it just gets me back to the map?
What do you mean by cancel
If its finished you're free to leave with no penalty
Because its done
like normally on ps4 i would just walk up to the big blue exit, target it, press the same button again and it would ask if i wanna leave
Its the same on PC
OHHHH okay i was left clicking
is this game capped at 60fps
I'll admit that it took me a few minutes to figure out that right click was interact when I first played kbm... last night
i just get a seratonin rush when my frames are above 60 lmao
even tho i can't notice it
one more and I'll shut up for a while...how to change font size of chat log?
the chat prompt font size option doesn't seem to do anything
oh in the log details tab
try log details
yeah
and hd is 720p?
yea
is the upcoming patch 5.4 is the last patch to get new recipes for the crafters? or they add new recipes in x.5?
What's a good support type dps ?
5.5 will likely have new recipes but they will probably be mostly glamour stuff
this is how full hd looks for me
you can adjust the size of the hud though in the hud layout
@worthy basin lol
i am so stupid
What about rdm?
eh, it's more like a caster dps.
it is just HUD settings. I thought it was graphic settings
and one party buff (embolden).
My alt need at least one dps . What about cure n raise on them?
but out of the 3 casters, rdm is the breeziest to play.
rdm is being memed as a rezbot though
if you like rezzing and not being a healer, that's good.
also good in group in case a healer wipes, as they can rez and heal also
but this is mostly situational
Lol ye I'm use to it tho
So just how much does Adventure in Need really add to the rewards? I've heard it's pretty small in the grand scheme of things but are there any precise values?
small, but probably quicker queue
@fast talon think it’s like a 25% bonus or something close to that
wow that's pretty nice
25% bonus to what though, the large chunk you get from doing it once a day or the value that's written on the queue page?
i always do my roulette using role in need, without knowing the rewards lol
is remelding the crafter/gatherer's gear happens often?
based on https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Duty_Roulette double the gil on average
not sure about the exp
@worthy basin well since this the last crafting gear we’re getting then no. Usually it seems the melds introduced in balance last like 2-3 patch cycles before you need to switch over to the newer set
There's a tentative recommended set for the crafters, I could meld my stuff now and be broke later 😆 . But i'm just worried that came by 5.5, there would be a new recipe that is needing a new set of melds.
The melds are a predicted threshold set
The one that will likely last is the tentative high tier set
Usually breaks the bank though unless you constantly craft
5.5 stuff likely won't need new set of melds
@worthy basin 5.5 isn’t gonna change anything except for crafted glamour weapons I believe
as i said, its largely going to be glamour items
5.4 is where the new recipes are going to set the threshold for things
It'll last you into 6.0 leveling phase though
You’re set till the end of the next expansion using the high tier melds
you can't get Livia sas Junius' weapons can you?
nope
sad
I'm not going to use the high tier sets, this one https://ffxivteamcraft.com/gearset/9xQ6gZh0FP8Bq0CDVztl is what i'm going to use.
It'll be fine to use just consider supplementing with some hq mats if you need
sorry if i'm asking here, i tried asking in the balance. I got ignored and stuff. 😆
That set seems fine
It’s well worth going for role bonus if you’re not leveling an alt (If maxed)
During post-add phase
It’s well worth going for role bonus if you’re not leveling an alt
materia viii is going to sell like hotcakes in patch day!
What mechanic are you referring to? There's no reason for dps to split for mirrors past adds
Depends on the macro
And where the mirrors appear
They can appear on intercardinals as well
i cleared add twice without knowing how to do that
cause i mark the healer
i just follow
Melees usually take Nw/n or ne/e
You shouldn't really be following
If its fake banish you'll kill your partner
Jp doesn't do scythe uptime so it doesn't matter which one you are
ST as in Side Tank?
Or secondary tank
wow. Is it a JP thing? In Crystal, we always call it OT or offtank.

What is the best option for crafting set?
what level?
I currently got itemlevel 451 (left side full white scrip level 470 stuff) right side HQ 430)
Was thinking of pentamelding Aesthete
But is it truly worth it?
only if you are in the endgame crafting, and like to compete with the firmament.
I mean i can (with consumable) make Duskcourt cloth
so i am looking to go all in :3
You'll need Aesthete's gear if you wanna craft 5.4 gear without needing a lot of HQ materials
Ok : )
aesthete + the relic i guess
Since my plan as of now was pentameld one item at a time(since it sucks and takes a while)
since it needs a certain amount of materia to outweigh the level470 ones
Currently got the right one
try to compare the hq aesthete and to the current main hand of yours
Pls explain
Kiyo can recommend using leves to get to level 51
You normally don't, buy the vendor gear in ishgard which is level 51 instead
:3
mmmm?
it doesn't work that way
Good gear at 50 is prohibitively expensive for how quickly you’ll make it obsolete. Easiest to just push to 51 and getting a HQ 51 set.
from what i read
Oh you meant stats
806 441
fuck
okay i guess lol
well shit
I'll just level the needed crafters and gatherers to make it myself
So in essence....Bite the sour apple go for the expensive HQ aesthete
I'd rather spend time over spending my precious gil
:3
I need my precious gil for minions and mounts and house
NQ gear is worthless
NQ gear is for if you only care about the cosmetic value and want to get it cheap.
Thanks 
if you have any intention of being a serious end-game crafter, you should have HQ gear
It's possible to craft it yourself if you don't mind taking the long way
Could always just get the relic tool
relic tool is like the bis of this expansion
might be lucky 
Quick question about bozja, does my item level matter in there ? I was rank 6 and got 2-hit blasted by a random rank 5 mob
Relic tool?
skysung tool
Ilvl doesn't matter
Rank 5 mobs hurt like hell
so Skysung is the "Ishgardian Rebuilding" thing?
damn, the mobs there don't play around then, rather annoying
I'm not there yet
You need a tank to tank them
I'll take care about having HQ gear when i'll be lvl 80
but by that time the new expan will be out and i'll have to get to level 90
I see, ty !
You want HQ gear while levelling anyways
can be a bit more painful without HQ
It makes it easier to craft still HQ/high collectability
but its not that necessarily to go with HQ
And if you make your own gear, there is no reason to not make HQ gear
I'll try to make it HQ as much as I can but if I just make it NQ i'll live with it
ty :3
@twilit arch - so in essence what i read
the relic tool is one you can increase over and over again?
with oddly specific materials?
possibly, we don't know what the next stage is going to entail
but yes it's similar to combat job relic weapon in that over the next few patches we'll get upgrades to it
Is there any use for old trash gear other than selling it?
expert deliveries
to your grand company
What are those
green or better quality gear can be turned in to your grand company for grand company seals
but you need to be sergeant second class to do so
Basically they're a way to convert extra gear into GC currency
So I can sell gray gear no worries?
ANd for non colored rarity just use them to increase your desynth level
yes
desynth?
I kept everything that ain't green or above in order to DESYNTH
