Even then you cannot get all three of them right away
You need to do more story and you will unlock 4 more Heavensward trial in this order: Sephirot, Nidhogg, Sophia, Zurvan
the only warring triad quest that has msq requirements is the one i said
Nidhogg is part of the
, while the other three are from warring triad quest line
so i didnt finish heavens then?
you finished base heavensward
ok
every expac has post quests
you need to get far enough in the post quests after HW
You finished 3.0, base/vanilla Heavensward
So i need more msq to do the rest then
Now you need to go through 3.1-3.55, the epilogue of Heavensward
This whole time i thought i beat heavens
its just like how after you beat ARR, by completing the praetorium
you had 80 quests to go thru before you entered heavensward
80 quests at Level 50
you have 44 quests to do before you get to stormblood
you need to do the first set of patch quests
So i need more msq theb
These quests are the epilogue for the current expansion and the prologue for the next.
Yes
cuz i am only on another time another place
Yup, still a bit of quest to go
Once you cleared the normal mode, yes
lol wow
They will let you get EX
The game doesn't explain this explicitly, don't feel bad about it
I thought i just had to beat heavens the way i did to do all the bird quests
EX were not all released in one go
They came with a new major patch every 3-4 months
So I just to do 5 more msq then I will be able to fnish this darn firebird mount thing?
No
You still have Nidhogg a few msq down the line
Warring triad has 3 trials, so 3 birds
Nidhogg has 1 bird
This will get you the 7 needed to see the Firebird NPC in Idyllshire
So I just need to keep doing the MSQ, to unlock the rest for firebird mount
Yeah, good luck and have fun
ty
when trying things on, is there a way to try on multiple things?
click the save outfit icon on the bottom
oh perfect
I should have asked sooner, been trying on things one at a time all this time

Is the puppet's bunker coin unlimited now? Or still one per week?
No limit
Thank you!
uh, whm question. If a whm pops temperance outside of someone's range, and then walks in, do they get the defense buff?
Yes, but it updates on server tick so it's not instant as if they were already in range
Does the 24 hour timer trigger when you disband a free company?
Or is it just when you leave a free company
nevermind, it does trigger
if I have questions about the new treasure dungeon, would it be permissable to ask them here or would that be considered a spoiler?
fine to ask here
afaik there's nothing really spoilery about the new treasure dungeon
yeah, seems just enter and kill
Does anyone know what the "Shifting Circles" event does (when roulette hits golden exclamation mark) beyond summoning the gold frog?
hmm, assuming it works like uznair it shifts the arcane circles
how much tomes do i need to get a mowen tokken?
best class for potd? machinist?
rdm and mch are the top two
hmm rdm
rdm it is!
i like the pirate aesthetic too
just max'd all my tank and healer today
so choosing dps class to level
assuming you want allegory/revelation, its 100 allegory/revelation for 1 token @vestal needle
so 1k total for the weapon
Is there somewhere I can check the date for ffxiv? I wanna get an extra day out of my subscription/not lose a day by subbing around reset
Subscription doesn’t revolve around daily reset
It’s on its own timer so you can’t get an extra day out of it
If I sub at 16:00 hours it will end at 16:00 hours?
Yes
How do you get this?
This is an old reply but it works the way I thought I experienced it in the past
"I actually asked the question recently when I was trying to add a game time card to my account. If you're asking the exact time that your last day will end before you need to resub, it's 12am (midnight) PST. It's not based on your own timezone unfortunately because I'm in Central time and had two wait until 2am my time for the day to tick over."
@lone spruce tradeable on the marketboard. It comes from desynthing very specific fishes
No wait I might be thinking of other ones
no, you're right
its the sea breeze set, its from desynthing gigantshark/octomammoth
Octomammoth too
top is shark, bottom i s octo
Do you guys know if King's Yield works on collectables?
No
If one has full 510 gear, whats the most bang for buck tomestone progression? Chest first? accessories last?
Depends on what job it's for
The collect action on collectible is not your usual gather action
paladin then?
Chest or legs have the most stats
yes but they also cost the most right?
If you want to go for BiS, this discord is currently working on one
wouldnt that just be 530 gear? skipping over 520 possibilities entirely?
the thing is, tome gear is augmented to 530
Ill try askt here and see if someone is more specific then
so it doesn't skip it, since you'll need it to get the tome pieces
BiS for any job is a mix of Savage Eden Promise raid gear and Augmented Revelation tomestone gear
the shield/sword (tome) can't be obtained for another 6 weeks anyways
if you don't clear savage
and even if you do
you can't get it until next week earliest
does it take long for them to figure it out?
well shield is straight buy
How long will The Balance take to produce a BiS list
I believe that's what Incarnater asked
🤷♀️ when the math nerds are done mathing things out
One of my many questions yes haha
I cant imagine it taking say, more than a month yeah?
Nah
What other questions do you have?
Im still learning all this raid tier stuff, so umm
Whats the item needed to trade in 530 edens gear?
Is it the book of Litany or a different item?
depends on the piece of gear
!faq savageloot
generally the floor it drops from is gonna be the floor book that you can buy it with
augmenting items
solvent = weapon
glaze = accessory/belt augment
twine = armour augment
though its called dusting for the accessory/belt this tier
and ester for weapon
you're guaranteed the book every week
the number of chests that spawn is based on the number of people in your party that haven't cleared this week
up to 2 chests
with teh above faq listed items
if you're lucky in pf you can earn it all
oh so you could potentially "steal" our ppls chances? interesting system
its not stealing in pf
So a player could clear for one week but miss all chest rewards right? and then they dont qualify as a new clearer?
It is blind luck, essentially
Help me find this boss. It was female, i think mostly white, I think she was stationary, there were two rows of pillars in front of her, either 2 or 3 pillars in each row. Definitely in ARR.
I just want to find it because i remembered the epic music
Do you remember 4 people or 8 or more fighting it? any mechanics like hiding behind the pillars?
sounds like garuda
What kind of pillars?
garuda's like the only female, mostly white character with pillars in the fight that i can think of
What does Not Locked In mean?
Does it still mean that I will get a parse percentile later
I'm confused about unlocking yellow scrips. The wiki says you need to do both "Inscrutible tastes" and "Go west" but I'm able to get them without having done the later, and my partner isn't able to get any yellows at all.
You just need to do inscrutable tastes to unlock collectable system
go west, craftsman is to unlock the idyllshire house of splendors
is it true that sharing gear of rdm/smn and blm not advisable at all?
for BiS, there usually is a universal set
that the three can share if you intend to play them all, or rdm/smn +blm
Interesting, I thought only healer and tank can go for universal set
but generally, yes the BiS for blm usually clashes a bit
They have slightly variations in stat priority
But she did that quest, and isn't getting any beyond that
any chance she can send a screenshot of the house of splendors appraiser window
sometimes these look pretty out of place. Suppose there's probably no way to improve that?
no its part of the top

yes
Also, is item level sync'd gear absolute in terms of stats to one another, or does it just affect relative stat scaling on gear so i.e. sync'd ilvl 450 -> 280 is (however slightly) stronger than true ilvl 280 gear?
Hi, im Ink and im new to the game
just looking for some advise or maybe people looking to teach and play the game with
@solemn karma looking for the new player faq guide atm, but did you have any specific questions in the meantime
!faq newplayertips
Um cant say I do
Im just trying to get into the game and was seeing if there were people new or willing to help
well this channel's mostly for asking specific questions about how the game works or what you're supposed to be doing and things like that
Ok
if you're looking for people to play with, generally your best bet is to join a friendly FC
FC?
Free Company, the guilds of this game
can I get a quick rundown on collectable crafting? Is there something I need to do to make something as a collectable, or is it specific items
@jovial tide technically yes, lemme use another faq as reference
!faq ultimate sync
!faq ultimatesync
Many pieces of gear are BiS when synced down. The 'low' stat on the higher ilvl gear will reach the stat cap on the lower ilvl gear. This outweighs the melds you lose in some cases, and in others it is few points of stats behind.
UCoB: ilvl 418 and above will have both stats capped
UWU: ilvl 470 and above will have both stats capped
TEA: no available ilvl cap yet, syncing gear will not cap all substats and will ignore melding slots.
See the calculator below (WIP)
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
Ultimate Coil syncs at i345
Having gear above i418 maxes out both secondary stats when synced down
Collectables have been consolidated into their own thing. You only make collectibles as collectibles. You can find their recipes in the special tab of your crafting menu
Just use the materials listed and craft it like you would any other hq item
The higher the quality the better its collectability
ah, okay
Does synced stats make bahamut and ultima weap ultimates any easier? like bypass any dps check? or is that not how ultimate works?
It makes it so you don’t need gear right at the sync to take advantage of melds
With the way stats scaling has changed through expansions it can be a tad more lenient to sync down
Not mechanics wise but the checks as I have been told feel smoother
You still hold DPS for cleaner phase pushes in some cases anyways
can you guys recommend a guide for Alex ultimate?
It seems like youtube cut the video short by like 2 minutes, but all that's missing is more examples of exatrine movement, so it's not really warranting a reupload D:

This ones alright , p gud
The Epic of Alexander is the third Ultimate to be released in FFXIV, and tests endurance, mechanical proficiency, and DPS. It can be unlocked by speaking to the Wandering Minstrel in Kugane (X:11.6 Y:12.6) after completing Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage). Introduction This guide is updated for ...
Theres also this if u want a text/visual based one
tks fren
can i use the "Recruitment Light" Channel to search for a guild or only as a guild to search for member?
It can be for both
On top of looking for raid group or raid group.members
Or just people to play with
Though you might see less luck with the last one
okey, thank you very much

- heal/ranged start on cardinals, tanks/melee on intercardinals, stay for heals
- when clouds appear the cardinals move out and melee rotate (probably clockwise)
- dps the cloud, when the debuff on you expires you have to look away from people to shoot your laser cone into empty spaces
- after the cones melee go back to their inter-cardinals, ranged go inside for the donut aoe
- everyone waits inside until she shows which side she'll cleave
- north+south ranged go outside, safe-side (east or west) ranged goes outside, everyone else shuffle to the safe side
- after the cleaves everyone goes back to their starting positions on the inside
- stacks/protean
- ranged go out so melee can refresh
and u win
Hi, where to get Riding Maps?
alright so like
is intentionally trying to kill people in raids reportable behavior
some tank in e9n purposefully tried to bring all the 1 shot lasers into the group
and followed the healers around to intentionally kill them
hey! is Rarefied Lignum Vitae Grinding Wheel still the best to craft for scrip farm?
silver scrips
When do I unlock dancer?
@robust crow yes its reportable if there is verifiable evidence
@frank wigeon depends on your server
Its probably in the battle logs if he managed to kill people
i understand thank you channey
dude would bring the laser tankbuster to me twice purposefully
lmao
like he would follow me in the direction i ran
Also, I had a question:
How do I get blue crabs? I went to the spot in western kholusia like the wiki says, with ilv 403 and 15 of the correct bait (Squid Strips) and got 15 HQ of OTHER fish ...not even 1 blue crab
can someone explain the whole bonus quests from the hw beast tribe quests
I thought it meant you got another set after finishing one set
Can always report and include how they were being in chat logs
Was that a rank 8 rank up?
7 to8 doesn't give bonus for the day
You just get bonus exp from it now
@limber walrus do you have the legendary tome
Legendary tome?
You need the tome of icythologixal folklore bought with yellow scrips
Oh.....omg
Are there restrictions on leaving/joining a fc?
I could have not wasted 75 white SCRIPS on bait 😩
Thanks for letting me know @little swift
I will get that tmr morning
For legendary gathered items you need the corresponding books @limber walrus this applies to all expansions besides arr
Can I get it from the same box in eulmore?
Costs about 4k yellow scrips
Npc not box
Same vendor yes
oh i see its a one time thing each time you rank up
darn, squandered those too
No
Nope
As a fresh lvl 80 and have done msq to a point where I need to upgrade my gear, what should be my first point of interest without spending gil?
do the level 80 content you have access to, get tomes of allegory for completing it, buy 490 gear with it in eulmore
^
kk thanks
is there an automated/easy way to deposit items from inv to a retainer that already has them so that they stack?
probably just sort then manually stack
right now i have to right click -> search for item on each item to see which retainer has what so that i can stack them manually
oh well
thanks.
feel free to highlight me next time, lucky enough i checked if anyone answered
@ancient solar it is a puzzle
The earring probably comes from Alexander Creator raid
If you don't want to give yourself a headache to figure this out
!fr
Thank you so much
how to get to Gold Saucer place?
@ancient solar don't do it first
looks like bot sent something with different themes, maybe its for previous fashion event?
Yeah, that's last week
How to get ot Gold Saucer? Is there some Aether connection, flight or somthing?
I unlocked it already, but don't know how to get there again.
<@&473626701947994134> apologies for the direct buzz, didn't fashion report evaluation start on friday
That's last week's puzzle
We don't manage it
Oh, my bad, apologies
You'll have to check with Kaiyoko
@ancient solar perhaps you can check on r/ffxiv

How did you get there in your first time?
Airship or teleport there directly
In UlDah I think there was a dude with a quest, he was human or cat-race with a small boy holding some gifboxes on the street
Yeah, that was the unlock quest
Go to the airship landing and talk to the npc behind the desk, and you should get an option to fly to Gridania, Limsa, or the Gold Saucer
You can also get there from Gridania or Limsa
ok, got it, thanks a lot
are there more benefits to eating food before a dungeon/trial start aside from the stats listed?
I see, thanks!
okay I've spent way too much time now trying to make a pair of pants. Right now this journey has me trying to find an Ephemeral node, I've gone to 3 locations at the correct times and haven't found any, not sure what to do now.
I'm trying to make thavnairian sarouels. I already had to go and get the weaver book, next was trying to get dawnborne aethersand. did a quest then went searching for things that turn into it, but can't find anything
none of the Aethersand items seem to require a tome
Which site are you using for timers?
gamerescape
Oh. I also need to do a treasure map. I really didn't realize how annoying these pants would be when I started this
Should use something like Teamcraft for timers. Everything is Eorzean time unless specified otherwise
So how do I get bitter memories of dying?
I already have Augmented Honourbound and Tenacity
The locations that I'm seeing on Gamerescape for the first node I looked at are different than on Garlandtools
Garlandtools is the site I'd trust
Heavensward dungeon or bojza mobs
Bitters come from leveling roulette, level 60 dungeons synced, and Bozja in all 3 areas at a lower rate than other memories
Oh
well that does seem more useful. though it recommends I go right back to where I tried to find bright lightning rocks and furymint before, at the same times.
So I can't just spam one dungeon unsynced?
Synced
Damn
Small brains spam anti tower
So big brains spam what? Dusk Vigil?
Bojza
With a group
And mass pulling
Everyone spread out
Yeah its a "low rate" but youre rolling that ratw multiple times in quick succession
And you get all 4 memory types
Mass pulling mobs solo/low man is easy
curious question
Is there a reason why there seems to be a larger number of people crafting near skysteel manufactory than anywhere else in ishgard (aside from crozier)
is it just theming?
That's where the turn-in is for Skysung tools
ah I see, thanks
is the 520 tome armor better than a 510 pentamelded armor?
Generally yes unless there's "dead" stats on the tome gear

How can I dye the Antiquated stuff? Specifically the pally Stormblood stuff chest
!iglam Antiquated Chivalrous Surcoat
you upgrade it in the first zone of Eureka until you have the Anemos Chivalrous Surcoat
Same model but dyeable
All right, thanks.
So
Let’s say I buy a skip for blackmage, would that level my thau as well?
And is there any downside to skips
Besides the cost I mean
Asked this last night but didnt get an answer (granted i was afk for a few minutes). Whats up with Tea Leaves? None on the MB and other realms they are crazy expensive. something i dont know about ?
@nova wraith but if I’ve played the class before or will be on an alt?
Thaumatugre IS black mage
My wife and I have a set of Alts to do the story together and I’m running blm on it, but once we’re done I’m going back to my main
Skipping means you miss out gradually learning the job over the levels
But if I already know the job it’s okay?
Yes
Awesome
Skips are primarily meant for alts
Thought so but wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing damage to the alt
Tho doesn’t ng+ lemme redo the story too?
It should. And if you just want cutscenes then the Inn book is there
which tea leaves? there are a few different ones
approved grade 3 skybuilders' tea leaves. last week they were cheap and easy to buy. not so much anymore
i know i can do diadem to get them, just wondering if someething happened to where they are more needed
Nothing specific
Supply might have been at a relative high point before due to someone overfarming them
thanks 🙂 it was bothering me. thought there was new crafting that really needed it
Since nearly as many people are doing Restoration, a handful of very active gatherers or crafters can have a big effect on availability
just from trying to level up
Can you trade across worlds?
Once I level my gatherer I’m sure I’ll have lots to share 
def. do Diadem to level up fast
World visit allows this yes
guys i cant find the new role quest from cyella "Safekeeping"
how does dancer work? i am coming from samurai and this one deals so little damage
Are you properly geared?
And which skills were you comparing
And what makes you said "so little damage"
for now, no
i spent all the poetics on samurai because i ddidnt think i would switch to dancer
are most of the skills rng?
Yes, but you are in control
It doesn't just happen on its own, like Bard
Dancer skill RNG happens when you use certain skills
For example
!action Feather Dance III
Oops
Fan dance
!action fan dance III
!action Fan dance II
Using Fan Dance II has 50% chance to allow you to use III
You don't need to do it right away either, as the opportunity last 20s
Dnc is a support while Sam is greedy
For more detailed breakdown, I suggest watching this video
New? Got too many skills? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 60? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Dancers how to Dancer 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 usage. E...
But the basis of DNC is to anticipate and use your RNG procs
ok, this is what i kinda understand
i first use closed position
then standard step and the 2 sequences and then use the double standard finish
and then in battle i use cascade->fountain
rev cascade->fountianfall if it's available
and then use windmill-> bladeshower for aoe and it's proced version
and when the 4 fan-like guage thing is filled i should use fan dance 2?
guys i cant find the new role quest from cyella "Safekeeping" I'm at cyella location as lvl 80 drk
Fan Dance 1 is single target
Fan Dance 2 is AOE
3 can be proc from 1 or 2, and 3 is good for both single target and AOE
i am still at lvl 60, so i dont have most of the above abilities
Watch the video I linked
ok
It does a very good job breaking it down
But glancing at what you understand, I'd say You got most of them right
Think you need to do all role quests?
Check the patch notes. That will have the requirements
@oblique yew I want to mention that Dancer combo is free form. For example, Cascade combo into Fountain right?
But using Cascade gives you a chance to use Reverse Cascade, and using Fountain gives you a chance to use Fountain Fall
So, you can do things like
- Cascade (proc Rev Cascade)
- Fountain (no proc)
- Rev Cascade
- Cascade (...)
Et cetera
from now every time i dont accept the duty i will have a ban? or after a while my penality will be resetted?
If you keep on abandoning, it will add 30 mins to it, I believe that once you queue in and complete a duty, it reset
hmm. thanks.
this rng thing is new territory for me. will need some getting used to.
guys i cant find the new role quest from cyella "Safekeeping" where and how can i get it?
Read up, someone answered you question
ok tx , cuz everytime my queue tooks 10 min at least so sometimes im not at the keyboard to acept
Do all the role quests and complete the warring triad
yeah i already finished warring triad quetline still i cant see it
Should i bother with beast tribes quests right away? Or keep them for later? If it matters i just finished ARR 2.0 questline, and basically try to do all blue quests i've missed so far and i've unlocked beast tribes, thats why im asking~
Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Reflections in Crystal," and the role quest "Shadow Walk with Me
I’d say wait til after finishing base arr to do beast tribes
because you’ll get sth by then that’ll make doing those quests much faster
ic 
which is ||flying||
yeah, couple extra levels so everything doesn't agro on you as you try to do them is also handy
Wait, are the new Edens book-capped per week?
New raid stuff is always capped
I see
as i said, i finished base ARR 2.0 which means i do have the thing you said, lvl 55ish on main combat class currently.
Its only until later is it unlocked
thought it was just the coffers that were locked
Then beast tribe quests should go ez
I use them to level crafters from 1 to 20
then yeah, no reason not to. should be able to do them quickly
i dont have any role quest available
So is it just one coffer per week entirely, or per Eden each week?
One ATTEMPT in savage
then start doing beast tribes ye; those take over a month to finish so do them daily too
Which means that I have like 1000 rep with the Ixali and 0 with the other tribes lol
You can get as many gear coffers as you want on your weekly clear in savage
But you get 1 attempt
If you get nothing then tough luck
You're locked out
On the flip side you can win everything and be hated by your party
lol
if i assign my retainer into SAM, will it be lv50 or Lv70 ?
I see, thanks !
one more question about beast tribes, since i started the best tribe first that gives you exp for ur crafting professions, is there any crafting profession that'd be best to prioritize for lvling there first? Or just go in whatever order i'd want to?
cross class?
There used to be skills that you would unlock by leveling one crafter, and then you could use it on all your other crafters
Those don't exist anymore
game lets me use mining skills on botany for some reason
ah ic
I haven't found a use for it, but was it like that?
just wondered if any of DoH classes is simply more beneficial in long run to lvl first basically
If anything it letd you see the other gatherer's nodes when on the other job
Incase there's a unspoiled or something up
Out of curiosity
Once the restoration of Isghard ends
We'll get a new Housing district there?
also i can see you have limited amout of beast tribe quests for every tribe each day ON TOP of the daily limit of quests total you can do/
Hey. So my pc is buggered so I've moved to playing on the ps4. I could move accounts because there is already one tied to my ps4. So Just to boost a bit I wanted to use the story skip potion thing but it won't let as it says I'm not subscribed which I am. Has anyone came across this before? I subbed yesterday, do you think I might just have a wait or something?
I've been leveling DoH fairly evenly for the most part. Cul has gotten ahead because reasons, but otherwise seems handy to level them together somewhat as they start to gain more dependence on items from the others
oh and prolly most stupid question from me, is there any way to see where exactly can i take beast tribe quests? (the ones i unlocked), like i remmeber location of'em somewhat but i wonder if there's a way to actually see where you have to go in-game in case u forget.
click the quest text, it'll show on the map, usually a red circle
nono, not the quests you've taken, like in case i'd like to do some bests quests tommorrow, but i'd forget where the tribe was on the map
so there's no in-game thing, fair nuff
just mkaing sure i wont go out of my way and do things longer way if there was an option lol
thank you!
So about the whole isghard restoration affair
Is there a way to check how much of it is done?
So featherall is just the beginning, right?
Makes sense
does the weekly tomestones cap extend to wondrous tails as well?
yes
yes
gotcha, thank you! i'll wait with turning them in then 😄

Which NPCs can I exchange my old tomestones to for teh new ones?
ty
So does anyone know how Monk currently stacks up to top 5 DPS classes?
or does it still need more extensive testing before people can judge
What are the top 5 DPS classes?
Hmm.. that's a hard question, but Samurai is definitely still at the top
better question, how do you personally think you can achieve the title of best top dps?
I'm confused... you want to know how monk stacks up to the "top 5 dps classes" but you dont know waht those top 5 are?

Look at fflogs
Oh yeah, I forgot about that
I remember looking at it at 5.35
Wow, it ties Samurai now?
what are you looking at? 
I know fflogs but if we strictly look at current data on new tier, 95th Pct. monk is like 4th
Monk has some pretty weak AoE for Dungeons though
So take stuff with a grain of salt
Oh ye forgot that 
Yes
Hmm, should I focus on actually getting to 5.4 first or should I go ahead and get some augmented gear?
you can't get augmented crypt gear now
Unless you do savage
what would happen if i leave the duty 3 or more times? 🤔

Yes
gochu, thanks!
i want to play the game and my 30 day free period ended ages ago, when i try to log in it tells me my account is not registered, what edition of the game do i buy to play
Why is emerald weapon stuff not desynthable?
Because its new
Current stuff is never desyntable
So just save it for next patch to desynth then?
Yes
newbie question from returning player. if i transfer from congested server into a preferred one, its free. but if i transfer from congested world into a preferred world that is in a different data center (like from EU to NA), is it still free?
Yes
@faint flare thanks! cause someone said to me that it's different if u switch from a data center into different and you will have to pay, but I couldnt find more info about it
where do i download the game if i registered on mog
There's no difference between swapping data centres

Not much difference
One handed and shield isn't a thing past lv50
Just take higher item level stuff for now
ok, thanks 😄
Why would I keep Cure I in my taskbar if I unlocked Cure II already? Is there any advantage?
Aight, makes sense. Didnt think of that, ty

How or where do I go to participate in the jumbo cactpot and where do I go for seasonal events?
has anyone here changed their real name on their square enix account? i need a name change due to marriage and they need documentation of name change, i'm not sure what to provide for it.
i have a marriage license but i don't have any court document
Marriage license isn’t a legal name change
Pretty sure you’d need to go to your local probate court and file that seperatly
I know I had to
hmm okay, it's been a few years since i got married so my memory is fuzzy but i just remember going to the social security admin and getting a new SSN card issued
If the name change was filed automatically, you’ll need to request the form
ahh okay.
I mean you don’t get a new SSID for being married usually
Since that’s often maiden namey
sorry for being a bother, do you mean i don't need to bother with changing with SE?
I’d contact your local probate court and speak to a clerk or someone with legal experience in your jurisdiction. And no I don’t, I mean if you legally changed your name you’re legally compelled to update legal documents
okay. in my state it is all done through the SSA. so i suppose i need to request documentation of the change. thanks.
Yeah I’d contact them however not all states require you to file@when you marry
So your SSA would be the best starting point, should be a local satellite within 50 miles I’d wager
alrighty, thanks again
Anytime
Any chance you know how I join in the Xmas seasonal events or other seasonal ? @hot veldt
Jumbo Cactpot is held in the Gold Saucer. The cactpot board is located in the upper floor of the Event Square. Each event starts in a different city and it’s always one of the first three. The upcoming Christmas event will be held in Gridania with the quest starting in the Amphitheater.
hey if someone with a clear join so there is only 1 chest, can that person not roll on the item in the remaining chest?
Amphitheater in Gridania?
It’s listed on the map and in the aetheryte list as Mih Khetto’s Amphitheater
is there a 1m limit on tradE?
wait srry are u talking to me?
@leaden ginkgo what do you mean it doesn't allow you to complete it?
it doesnt let me press the complete button
Select a reward
Yes, 1mil at a time
Yw and don't worry about it a lot of people do the same thing
feel pretty good, sold an entire set for 4m
but was suspicious at first when they did 1m at a time
i didnt know there was a trade cap
You can spiritbond some lower level items
Can also look on market board
whats a fate???
Basically world events... Do the task and get xp
They're the purple circles/icons on the map
Usually just kill mobs/a boss or collect things in the area
ty bro
Is there any difference between ranged dps and magic ranged dps and normal dps?
Aside, you know, ranged attacks
hi!!, how do you get the Drippy minion?
it drops from Matoya's Relict
Am I allowed to ask for help leveling up here or no?
rng based? or you have to meet requirements?
anyone have an e10s macro?
Not really. Only if RDM is around for damage types as Embolden buffs other people's physical damage and therefore it doesn't help caster damage
probably not helpful here as this has many different servers, but there should be a #recruitment-primal channel where you can ask for things like this
unless you mean tips for leveling, then of course you can ask here
Minion drops in dungeons are always rng
thanks!
I suppose it's both, I would like tips on leveling up a 2nd job honestly, it's lv12 currently.
guys what does it mean by days of play time remaining
Though my first job is only lv24..
days you have left before your sub runs out
whats sub?
Subscription
oh you mean starter pack?
When it runs out you cant access the game
Your subscription to the game. If you just started and bought the game you'd have had 30 days free
But now you'll have to pay per month
oh so like wow? i have to pay 10 every month?
is there any way to grind and make it free like in wow?
No
How do i dismount from my friend's 2seater mount?
right click them?
can't, hmm
you can't target their character?
Using unsheathe works usually
Hello guys! I am semi-new to FFXIV, I am a huge fan of hardcore mmos and want to eventually get into this games harder content. Is there any EU server that is especially good or does all of them have a decent spread of ambitious players?
so if the potd que takes around 93 minutes, my other option is to que for dungeons i guess?
Well as a nee player as well @dull kayak game is amazing and people are nice. Dungeons early levels are popping and the game is fun.
As in EU I do not know servers but I did a google search and found which servers : bundle of servers to play on
What can I do with the fish as a free trial? sell ? 
@shell hazel Thank you, I agree 😄 I will take a little peak and hopefully end up somewhere nice ^^
@dull kayak both of EU's data centers are fine unless youre looking for a specific language
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
Oh I see! Thank you very very much!!!
You can desynth fish, or sell to an NPC
Why is it every time I choose alliance raids from DF I end up in Labyrinth of the Ancients?
because CT is the first set of alliance raids you can unlock and is now mandatory
so most people only have CT unlocked
I am starting to deeply hate it
And people ilvl cheese it
anyone know the best way to lvl MIN to 80? (currently 60)
gc turn ins, leves, beast tribes, ishgard restoration
in that order?
not necessarily
ok ty tho :))
collectables as well
gc turn ins and beast tribes are daily, and usually done within like 10-20minutes so honestly would recommend doing them every day
leves/collectables are gonna be better than restoration but restoration lets you be lazy/if you're leveling crafters via it anyway you can stock up on mats
Is there any way to get those level 60 coffers from the end of Heavensward after beating the MSQ? I leveled up my Machinist after I beat Heavensward and I'm wondering if I could get the coffer for it.
the job gear is from job quests
At the end of Heavensward there is a couple of Main Story Quests that give you coffers.
The Hellfire/Torrent armor
Weird question.... My game crashes instantly when I hover Levin Mint with my mouse. Doesn't crash on other items, though I haven't tried other collectables. Has someone else mentionned something like that? lol
(Hover in my inventory, not in the gathering window)
someone has mentioned something similar
but rather inside a particular instance
i expect both are probably some sort of corrupted file situation
it's such a specific bug that I'm more weirded out than anything, lol
Ok, it might be an issue related to a XIVLauncher plugin. I launched the game without it and it doesn't crash anymore
Does anyone know if the token restriction on puppet’s bunker runs (once per week) was lifted with 5.4?
yes it was
only the cluster is still weekly
Awesome thanks!
Did the new set get lower yet?
I'm not on that's why I'm asking
All the same though you won't know unless you look yourself
The prices could change in minutes
You can somewhat check it with kupo bot
With the "!market" command
It slightly lags behind but its decent

how do i unlock the duty roulette for frontlines
is there a ranking board for jobs ,can someone redirect me please ?
level 30
in la noscea. Unlocks the Wolves Den location and pvp
If you mean a tier list for jobs? Outside of high level optimisation at endgame all jobs are equal.
Every job comp can do every content
yeah i went to wolves den but no quest there :p
some will just have a slightly higher number
you need to complete the quests "A pup no longer" and "like civilized men and women", both of which are at your grand company HQ
based mentors
oo okay ty
@steep heron i only asked because i liked blue mage only to realize its very limited
and wanted to compare but since everyone is equal kinda makes it harder to decide who to start with first
Blue mage is side content
yea realized its a preview class
can someone help me how i can explain a friend that it's important to use all skills in a rotation and not only the skills with high potency bc ''it does around 10% less dmg when i use it than this super high potency skill so i don't use it''
!faq abc
Rolling your gcd matters more than just using big hits
You do more damage over the duration of an encounter this way
@steep heron also mainly wanted a class for raids
Blu isnt a real job. Dont play it like one.
There are no "bad" choices for starting out.
All jobs are viable in raiding.
!faq meta
had a friend kept telling me dont go red mage go dragoon with no reason why
That's just bias
ok ty
Set up 2 striking dummies
You doa proper rotation on one and he does his meme big hits only.
have ACT running and see who does more damage.
legit cold hard proof
1 tank 1 healer 2 dps in light parties is all that matters
On some jobs he can't even prime big hits without using his gcds properly
^
No reason for that.
You can have all jobs on one character so no point in telling someone to avoid something entirely.
usually the "big pot" hits are from combos
so he would have to do the smaller pot hits first
@steep heron I basically did that this afternoon after finally reaching 80. he has ilvl 496 and does 6.5 to 8.8k dps while i sit at 15.2.... it's frustating when i link him rotations and he's '' oh but this skill does more dmg''
Each skill has a reason to be used
what job is he playing
dragoon
So he's spamming full thrust then

Join
The Balance for up-to-date information!
link him the full guide and the balance
Tell him how to calculate dot damage
and it will explain exactly what he should be doing and why
Chaos thrust does more damage than full thrust
balance has a fuckin 23 page guide on exactly what to do
90%of bad damage is literally being afk
If he cant tell that doing a third of your damage is a bad thing idk what to tell him
maybe he wants to raid with you and want to play redmage himself :p
you playing redmage means duplicate jobs
and ask you to tether him damage? 😂
Hi! How do I gather water clusters?
So any of the armor gotten through leveling un replaceable? As far as glam?
You can get everything back
Realized my armory was insanely full and no idea why I held onto any of it lol, 😮 how if I need it?
Botany or Mining in certain location. Check your gathering log
Just worried I sold some irreplaceable something or other
Story just gives you crafted/vendor gear
Everything can be gotten back in some shape or form
Ahh, what about stuff like daystar/noct stuff; that seemed unique?
Really? Like EVERYTHING? :0
Niceu
Yes...though Mogstation stuff would need to rebought
I’m at the place where they are supposed to be but the nodes don’t show clusters, just crystals
Old tomestone stuff really
That
@faint flare so I can toss daystar and noct?
Now bought with allied hunt seals
Yes
IT can be reaqcuired through allied seals in your GC billmaster
And is that worth holding onto? If so how do I manage better inventory
No idea what an allied seal is
I tried to and it won’t let me store anything
No, there's better gear at 50 so not worth keeping
Just my veteran reward stuff
Then you have nothing actually unique Mama
Not worried bout stats just appearance
old currency but can still be earned
As said, yoy can get everything back
allied seals are from ARR hunts
armoire is for like event items and the first AF gear
AF gear is your job gear you get from your job quests
AF gear is artifact gear which is the class specific gear
Anything that isnt max level is for fashion purposes via glamour system
If you have anything you like the look of and want to keep for glamour put it in your glamour dresser
Otherwise uh
Trash anything else you don't want to keep for leveling other jobs/don't need anymore
i would note that you can't store dyed items in the armoire so if you want to keep them dyed put it in the glam dresser
400
400
Yeah
😮
fills up quick tbh
Says you
Well knowing I haven’t accidentally gotten rid of stuff matters the most, thanks
Need 1 glamour prism per item
Mine is only 50/400
its not enough to store 1 of everytihng
so only do things you like
I was worried I’d like, removed tons of irreplaceable stuff :<
Anything can be replaced
But wasn’t sure since I haven’t even finished the story yet xD
Only like seasonal stuff is "irreplaceable"...
Even then it goes on Mogstation next year
And often gotten back via calamity salvager
Nice~
This depends on the event
I said seasonal
Fine
but other events like GARO, unless you got the full set and got the title you can't buy back the gear
so in that sense that gear can be irreplaceable

Hi, I finished SHB recently and was wondering where do I go gearwise at this point? What should I be working towards now?
!faq gearguide
oh, neat, didn't know that existed. Thanks!
get your job gear from grenoldt if you havent already
Yup, I have. I should probably work through the patch quests, right?
@old hollow ws just going to ask this question LoL
yes
i just got my MCH to lvl 50, now i need to run dungeons n get gear i guess :0
get ironworks
from the Allagan Tomestone of Poetics correct?
yes
How do I bring up colletables now since collectors glove now longer exists.... just clicked on a collectible on a node and it didn’t bring up the node
Items that are meant as collectibles are now always collectibles
I just tried it on old world fig which is a collectible? And it didn’t come up
Did the Ephemeral Nodes for Levinstrike Aethersand move? They’re all wrong now on gameerescape

iv watch a video where this lancer have this skill, im lv 55 but i dont have it, where i can get it?
how old is the video
Old world fig isn’t a collectable anymore
Look in your gathering log for the collectables section
So i noticed from 15-50 the dungeon qs have been sub 10 min for a dps is that still the same for higher lvls ? - because so far the Population is nice :0
All those rarefied items are the new collectables
6y
thats why
For the most part I’d say so
the skill doesnt exist
kk tx
Hey guys is it possible to wear to 2 Ironworks Ring?
Yes
Of the same though
5.4 made old poetics rings not unique anymore
Hi, so I'm pretty new to ffxiv and I had a question about the class/job system.
I've read several starter guides, and from what I can tell it's possible to play pretty much any job on a single character if you just swap main weapons
Is that right?
yes
Alright, but wouldn't that mean you'd have to keep different gear sets if you want to play different classes on one guy?
Like a str focused set or an int focused set
yes, you can save individual gear sets and swap to them at any time
Ooo
except in combat and instances obv
I see
So do most people just do that?
I kind of like having different characters for different classes so I was considering having an individual character for dps/tanking/ranged magic
Would that just be adding on artificial grinding
you would have to do over EVERYTHING on each character
Damn
nothing saves
no
alt characters cant even interact with each other
cant mail each other
cant trade, etc
you can link different outfits to each gear set but yeah
So most players just have a single character they use, huh
Yea I suppose not with this system
I did read that changing main weaps resets your level too
So you have to retrain in your new class
And there's cross class skills
where can you manage your existing gathering alarms? i set a wrong one by accident and i'd like to edit it
I read that it's like, if you play archer and level up your bard later then you can use Cure from your bard as an archer
Something like that
no that system is dead
also bard IS an archer, just upgraded
So there's subclasses?
its not really a subclass
its like a promotion
the top is all the skills you would have as an archer, the the bottom is the bard which adds on to that
So you progress from "base" jobs to advanced
yes
So is there only one tier of progression
Like archer into bard
Can bard progress further
no
I see
only the base game classes are like that
the expansion jobs are already "upgraded" versions
1
yes
Huh
