no real "advantages", it's just nice to have a place to decorate and such
you shouldnt sell ALL of it
you get tomestone mats by doing treasure maps
I never craft :S
thanks @remote lintel @faint flare @gritty oracle I will look into this
just find whatever main scenario quest you left on (there should be a tracker in the corner of your screen) and go from there
Gardening is huge in terms of moneymaking or not having to rely on the marketboard for certain items.
ohh cool whats the cheapest one i could get?
Good luck right now, a lot of plots will open up mid-January
a small is around 3M or so
is bozja a good thing to grind for levelling 70-80?
Yes
Make sure to have at least one relic quest active so you can also get memories
71-80
are relics < cryptlurkers though
huh, i thought relics were worse
relics also make good glam once the expansion is over
might as well use it while it's also relevant
yes and no
yes as in they're ilvl weaker at this moment
no because you have to invest 7 weeks of e12n clears and 2.1 weeks of revelation capping for it
or 1 lucky roll in e10s
true
there is basically always a housing shortage on most servers (or at least most NA servers)
3M is like a week of map parties if you get unlucky. My usual turnout on zonureskins (assuming a 2h map party with around 10-15 maps) is around 350k, can wildly vary.
for context, the day my housing ward opened I woke up two hours before the server opened so I could be caffeinated enough to make the mad dash to snatch up a plot before they were all gone within 15 minutes š
yeah but auto demolish is back on
yikes welp i guess housing in FF is as bit as hard as irl then lol
feels it sadly
Is it possible to upgrade exarchic gear using allegories like neo-ishgardian with undersea rain from phantasmagoria?
oh okay, so what's a good outlet for allegories in the meantime?
i don't really craft
Mats to sell
even if you don't craft, you can sell the materials for a good amount tbh~
Check market board for the prices of the recently added items
Things like spirit ether. Horsetail etc
heyy!! so i managed to get Gunbreaker up to 80 by tanking dungeons and trials. i wanna branch out and start tanking raids, but i don't want to annoy people if i get things wrong or don't know where to go.
and for Normal raids, do the tanks usually take a sec to talk about who's MT/OT at the start, or is it just assumed that i'll OT as gunbreaker o:
whoever turns their stance on first is MT
gotcha!! c:
Pretty much the same rule of law in 24mans
just dont do aggro fights throughout the entire fight
aggro fights meaning provoking off of each other to try and be MT?
Basically
yeah no worries, i never understood that xD i have Shirk for a reason lol
Alot forget it exists
anyone willing to help me through POTD? I'm on 21-30 and 3/4 in queue and its taking a long time
not really what this channel is for
if you're having trouble queuing for something, then you'll just have to wait or try another time
are you a DPS
its POTD so it doesn't really matter
yeh, i'm trying to get there
hello, im new and looking to buy/get into ff14 with a friend and idk which edition to buy to have all the content? would it be shadowbringers complete edition or FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition? or is there a differnce?
I don't think there's a version called shadowbringers complete edition
in any case, it's the second one, which includes both the base game, and the expansions
i think i meant collectors edition
ahhhhh ok
if you're new, you might want to try the free trial first just to see if you'll like the game before buying it
also is there any difference between steam vs client?
youll be locked to whatever platform you decide to play on
@hasty musk we did and we liked it so we wanted the full version
and steam has less frequent sales
yeah the free trial got a lot better with the recent 5.3 patch
and depending on the server, the road to 70 buff will help you level quicker so you and your friend can try different classes
"One or more of your client settings files, which include your hotbar settings, failed to save." Any idea what's causing this message?
upload your client settings in the character select screen
Quick question, is the Firmament the quickest way to farm materia now?
how do i start getting the bird mounts needed for the phoenix mount
Tossup between that and level 78 yellow scrip turn-ins depending on prices of materials
you need to farm the Heavensward EX trials for them iirc
ah, thank you
I was assuming VII's are better to farm with scripts and VIII's are firmament.
But that's fair.
Does anyone have an example of controller setup for non-job cross bars? There's lot of thought on battle type stuff, but I'm curious how people prioritize other possible actions.
Awesome, thanks. Just starting, and there's so many things to possibly put into the bar. It's nice to see.
Gear sets for easy job swapping is another idea as well
oh yeah but i keep mine on regular hotbars in the corner because i have a bunch
I bought on PS4, so trying to go Controller first, even though I know it supports kb/m just as well as Computer

is there any relic armor for samurai?
yes, they get an artifact set at lvl 70 and 80
Im 2 quests away from finishing shb, where and how do I unlock the NieR raids?
if i play healer, will i be able to queue for any of the ARR extreme trials in a decent amount of time?
"word about komra" in kholusia @lone zephyr
no people typically do not use duty finder to queue for extremes
yeah i figured, im ft for now but i'd still like to try one instead of just unsync and breeze through when i but it
synced parties for Extremes also use Party Finder
just put synced in the description
they cant make their own party finder if they're free trial
ah
but yeah once you do buy the game
you can make a party finder group and try to find people to do it sync'd but...you may be waiting a bit for that too just fyi
since most people don't really wanna bother with old exs :\
yeah for now i'll just stay queued in hope that at one point i will queue
there are some communities that do old content synced and min iLvl
so you may want to join one of those
yeah i'm on an old content discord, but even there it's mostly raids and some extremes from hw and stormblood
to be honest, synced but with echo turned on and crazy gear levels isn't much of a legitimate experience either
sorry, what's echo?
a buff
on old EXs, you get a stacking buff after each wipe. It increases damage, healing, and max HP
!buff Echo

ah right
echo is an artificial stat buff given to make old content more clearable
it also stacks on wipes for old trials
!buff the echo
won't items be synced?
if you have experience in WoW, the equivalent would be determination stacks
yes
but echo makes up a LOT of numbers
Items will be synced to 130
which is still very high for stuff like Garuda and Titan
oh wow yeah it is
which were intended to be done in like.... ilvl 60
unreal is a bit better taste of what it would be like
since its got min ilvl sync on it, despite the fact that its scaled up to 80
unrelated, but are the newer EX trials way harder than the ARR ones? just looking at guides for shb ones compared to ARR ones, the newer ones are about 5 times the length
yeah
ARR mechanically wasn't very hard, even though the player base's overall skill level wasn't that great either
yeah that makes sense
so if you look at ARR's EXs they are fairly simple when compared to expansion exs
what is the 78 yellow scrip turn in?
Each crafter has one at 78
on ps4 i had gathering nodes showing up on my map. im playing on pc now and they're not showing. is there a setting?
The cheapest one is probably Alchemist and Culinarian, though you should double check as always
If you mean the big map nodes never appeared on those
there's yellow and blue ones
Besides being on Botanist/miner to see those nodes, there has to be ones that you can gather near you
Both of them have abilities to locate the nearest or highest level node for the zone
prospect/triangulate automatically turn on at lvl 2 for some odd reason, as a trait
Could have accidentally turned it off
im dumb, i didnt know what you meant by big map (i thought you said "big map-nodes" ) lol i see them on the minimap now. i had mini turned off. š¦
pat pat
I suppose there's no way to control which parts get dyed is there? like without the pink?
ah, oh well. it's not awful, I'm happy to have a better red color at least
are there any easily obtainable christmas-y minions?
Some gear just dyes really badly
on the mog station
What should I do with my Phantasmagoria Tomestones now that they're discontinued? I have them capped, for reference
auriana in mor dhona will exchange them
trade them for allegory in mor dhona
Ah, and can I buy Augmented Crystarium straight up, or do I need to buy the base and grind the tokens for augmentation?
No you still need to get the augmentation items
That probably won't change until they cost poetics
Anyone have a free company on Sargatanas? I'm a new player, pretty casual. I used to play wow and played classic but first time here
use the recruitment channel or community finder
I don't even know how to do that š
whats the most optimal thing to do between waiting lvl cap or gil cap b4 transfering to full game?
assuming, im focusing MSQ and DoH
okay thanks @remote lintel !
I'm fairly new to the game, just went from trial to full game last month. I'm not sure I understand what you mean though
well, Is is worth doing all MSQ till lvl 60, BUT im losing alot of gil
Honestly level cap. There are things you can do in free trial to basically spend all your gil
Oh I get it. well the gil shouldn't matter as much
For example if you focus on beast tribe quests at the end you'd be able to buy a mount from them for 120k
Makes for an amazing way to dump Gil you have when you hit cap, issue is that it takes like, weeks to fully max out reputation to do that
It may get quite difficult to continue doing DoH with such limited inventory
I feel that...
but ok, ill try to find ways to dump my gil
I switched to full around level 50 msq, all I did to dump some money was buy gysahl greens
if i sub now, do i lose the free 30 days or does it start after the 30 days? please @, thanks!!
no it adds the days on
ohh nice thanks!
is there any organized trading or selling outside of retainers? I have some stuff that is too low priority to go on retainer, but seems wasteful to discard or sell in a shop
not really
does anyokne know how the 90 day sub work? im still on the free 30 days of buying it on steam and i think i bought the 90 sub ?? but i dont think it charged me
is it gonna charge me until my free days end?
it shouldnt charge you until your 30 days are over

but its only 1 payment right? its not gonna be a monthly plan
I do t know if steam automatically sets it up as recurring
You can double check the mogstation once the payment goes through and itāll tell you if itās reoccurring
What can I do with my yellow crafter scrips after buying all masterbooks?
recurring means.. it charges you each month?
@obsidian patio you can do both via steam
Whenever it would end, so for 90 day sub you pay every 90 days
oh okay
Nope
Immunity moves like holmgang generally donāt work on āenrageā moves or failed mechanics
And sometimes even damage splits go through them
i've done The Last Pillar to Fall, but i dont see the quest to unlock Z1T9 extreme anywhere~?
Rising stone
It should be from Unukalhai
Instances areas(waking sand, raising stone, etc) don't show the quest mark from outside
how do i get regalia type G
You dont atm
you'll have to wait for the 15 cross over event to rerun
Yoshi-P had plans to bring the event back earlier in the year but wanted to wait due to the multiple seasonal events happening and the Yo-Kai collab

@verbal rune I'm dumb, I've been going to the Waking Sands like "uhmmm where is it???" lol. thank you!!
which menu do i feed thav onion to my chocobo?
Through the inventory while your Chocobo is summoned
Is everyone having connection issues?
We've got some on Primal-Exodus.
Seems to be a NA thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/kfzio4/connection_issue/
so figured I have materia, lets try melding some. did I do something wrong on this one? I notice now it says advanced melding forbidden, I'm not sure if that's why or not.
Is Trust a good way to level a Job? If so, who are the better Trust Party Members to use?
ah, alright. well that's good to know
When do u have access to switch between classes?
@past sinew trusts are slower than players
when you do your lvl 10 job quest jasem
Oh so I can switch from lancer to arcanist at lvl 10?
True enough, I tried it once already. But, some say that Trust is good for insta queues for solo leveling or something
Dope
@past sinew theyre fine if you force the tank to pull more and dont die
advanced melding forbidden means you cannot overmeld it. you can only put materia in the slots that it has, and not any more
buying shadowbringers and re-editing your character
There a quest or something?
no
Ah rip
you just need to own shb
Ight ill buy it if I like the game more then
Ty
Can u remove the horns of the dragon type ppl?
no
can u change how there pointed?
yes theres different types
Well note that they're tied to the face
So you can't mix and match if you like one face and one horn type
Any idea how to contact a GM in game
system > support desk > contact us
itd be neat if we can have odd horns like odd eyes
Nah the horns change style but not hoiw there pointed š¦
nvm u can if u go for the dragon human light mode

Shadowbringers officially starts with the quest ||The Syrcus Trench||, am I correct?
yes
Thanks
Remind me what there is to do in final fantasy online
Literally tons of stuff. Sell stuff you make or find on the market board, run dungeons and endgame content in the duty finder party finder.
Thereās lots of different daily and weekly activities
Ye ok
what materia do i focus with rdm?
Crit
Crit>DH
then itās enough DH then Det
so full crit til i cant anymore then rest DH?
think last time i focused dh then crit o;
iāve been told that changed late SB/ early ShB
Idk where to ask this but I bought shadowbringers off amazon and the 20 digit code just isnt working? I bought it for a friend and idk what to do!! 
and what region is your friends mog station account
They need to match your friend's Starter Edition
also do they own the starter edition?
@honest anvil so weird i cant put that 60 crit bc it says it will be 0 why is that?
because its capped on crit
ah
Pc, NA
Yes i think so
ask them
I have the copy of Modern Vacation, now how to make my retainer have a combat job?
so if i meld and the max crit i can add is 20 should i add DH 60 instead of 20 crit or?
Its steam
Steam Starter Edition cannot use PC Shadowbringers
@plain python are you trying to assign them a job or change their job
did you do the quest "an ill conceived venture"
I don't think so

If no one else have a better answer, then my answer is go with 60 Direct
oh I see
Me and my friend are having trouble connecting to FFXIV. Is this problem happening to anyone else? Were on Primal btw
yes
a bunch of NA players are having connection issues
are you playing on steam?
yes
š¤ ok just wondering
I've been affected by this too
im finally in but I can tell there is some kind of ping discrepancy. Cause my internet is fine but in FFXIV its definitely lagging a little
materia stat priority for drk?
āUnable to use Thav onion at this timeā what causes this?
Drkās meld priority is similar to rdmās
Crit
so full on crit and dh
sks to tier > crit > dh > det
Make sure your chocobo is at max EXP
When looking at the companion menu theyāll be at 0/x experience and canāt gain anymore
sks as in skill speed?
yes
Is there some where in this server to do a form of like, looking to trade? Specifically looking for an FC willing to trade items from voyages for non voyage items.
thanks alot for the help
This picture shows it off best
you need to take your chocobo out of the stable and kill something

Wanted to be a lancer but I hate the close range š¦
Arcanist is fun gonna roll with that
continue MSQ
you will unlock duty: main scenario that will give you heap of poetic tome daily for ironwork gear ilv130
Farming poetics would be fastest after that
Since your only other option would be level a crafter and make them himself
you can try Allied seal
their equipment is like ilv110
and pretty cheap
the NPC is in your respective GC's office in each city
next to hunting board
pick a elite hunt for 100 seal, and you can trade for like 2-3 accessories
BLM: If Thunder runs out during fire phase, I should still refresh it, right?
yeah
assuming you've got a high lvl job, you can just unsync a couple of lv50 instances for first timer bonus
so he has enough poetics to buy the accessories he needs
Played the ranger class and I like it but id rather summon spirits than play music lol
theyre not really spirits
Do mob hitboxes inhibit healing line of sight or something? Is that why my healers usually run behind me during a pull?
Couldn't tell if it was that or just a safe position in case any strays aggro them
Mobs do not get in the way of line of sight
Could be any reason theyāre doing it
Feeling antsy and in a hurry
Wanting to be close to begin holy spamming
Just wanting to be close to your presence 
Are people still having issues with at&t
For Zhloe gathering, fishing specifically, how do I turn in the items I've gathered? I don't see the collectible part on the fish I caught, so I can't turn it in.
Holy can only stun 3x before the mobs get invuln right?
You must turn on Collect before gathering
In yall opinion whats the most fun DPS melee?

Correct
I'm so used to popping arm's length at the end of a pull but then they get holy stunlocked for the entire duration so it just gets wasted
Just another mental adjustment I suppose
A white mage can and should always start with holy as soon as youāve finished pulling
So expect it
Do you just count the number of times they've used it before popping CDs?
Well
The first stun will persist through a holy cast
So it should be like four holy casts?
But I would just watch the stun status
I assume buying Shadowlands would include stormbringer
like it seems like it but id like to make sure
i
fuck
yes
damn you WoW
why must you both have shadow
WAIT
BOTH THE THINGS I SAID WERE WOW
FUCK I HAVE WOW BRAIN
lol
Hello, So I'm trying to currently setup the game, (free trial)
where the heck do i find the code
I'm doing it through steam
Under āCD keysā on the Steam library page
Is anyone else having a hard time staying logged in on PS4 right now? I get in and Iām super laggy and I keep getting disconnected. Not sure if itās my internet (seems to be fine) or something else
can retainer have multiple job? Or only one per retainer?
One per retainer
If you wanna switch jobs for them, you basically wipe its leveling data etc.
@plain python
oh
am I in disadvantaged for making two combat retainers? I make them to appreciate my friends' combat characters
Retainers are a bad source of income anyways, normally, so I wouldn't worry about them too much
I see, kk
Ehh, depends on what you do, combat retainers can get dungeon drop stuff for you easily, gathering retainers just get stuff you can get yourself normally within seconds
Fishing retainers are nice though, since fishing is so horrible to grind in this game
can retainer fails in venture if their iLv is too low?
I'd go 2 combat retainers or 1 combat + 1 FSH if I were you, FSH stuff is only used for CUL crafts so up to you
No
You can't start a venture at all if their iLvl is too low as well
hm ok
fisher makes the least gil of all gatherers
I just got FSH retainer in the past for stuff like HQ Blood
recommended is 1 combat 1 gatherer

what are these people doing?
emoting
I never really understood why people insist on tanking in one specific corner of fist of the son
its for the bombs
easier if the boss is in the corner so it gives a pretty decent amount of space to not get hit if they're off in the opposite corner
I get that but why favor one corner out of all the others?
Got called out for pulling to northeast instead of northwest despite the guide saying either doesn't matter
oh well then yeah that doesn't matter
some people are just stuck in their ways
NW would be closer to the exit
i guess, but kind of silly to get upset over
also closer to the bird puddle as well
but like its normal mode so worrying about uptime is also a bit silly
Don't you have to run to mid either way before getting to the puddles?
only one person needs to move to the middle to activate the puddles
is it worth to use Scatter as Red Mage for AoE?
Also ran into an interesting scenario that run, if the OT is busy handling the ads and the MT gets targeted for the tankbuster stunned megapunch, should the OT still tankswap?
In all likelihood one of them is going to die regardless, unless heals are spammed
last time i ran that fight recently, didn't see the tank buster even be cast since he died so fast but yeah OT should still tankswap
Anyone on SARGATANAS lagging?
which samurai move allows you to immediately dart forward?
Subjective opinions are allowed, but what is the longest gunblade in-game currently?
its hissatsu gyoten
What app do people use to keep track of dps dealt in dungeons?
It let me create Chara into Lich server after a few hours.
Thanks
for letting me know how that worked.
is there a hub where retainer bell is next to the crystal?
Limsa
Kugane is one bridge away
oh gold saucer too. Just notice it š
Ah yeah
can someone help me find the bis pots and food for blm, nin, sam, gnb, whm, ast, rdm
!faq balance
Assign yourself those jobs in their role selection channel
Then check the respective resource channels for each job
what does companion app does for free?
Lets you have a fourth favoured teleport destination and unlocks the /tomestone emote
Nothing else remotely useful
If you are 99% certain the party will wipe on the next Raid Wide AOE, you can often try to use LB as a Tank right?
Like for e9s, if boss ate a fuckton of clouds.
Lets you interact with marketboard via retainer once per day (more if you pay)
Eh. I guess? Iād be more predisposed to just deliberately wiping and resetting.
lol
Can someone tell me where I can see the code to register the demo version in steam !!
Tank LB apart from LB3 arenāt great
But yeah, I'm still trying to figure out the LB magic
Didn't someone answered you?
Oh, nvm
Different player, asking the exact same question
That's unusual
!faq steamkey
yea
Says Stormblood but donāt worry about that

who is the guy in the thumbmail? š®
trying closing and opening it again until it lets you through
the player character
cant
oh
i need the key for the trial xD
there is no key for the trial
That's the full launcher.
it shouldnt be asking you for a key
You might need the regular trial client rather than the steam trial client.
Yes, there's a difference.
whats the main stat to consider when building gunbreaker
strength
where is the first quest for the event?
old gridania at the amphitheater

is the same location every year for the christmas event? in 2017 I think it was there too
Yeah the Christmas event is almost always in gridania
Will Dhoro Iloh be explored later in ShB (as someone who just started)?
no?
I can't tell if the aetheryte is just there for the sake of convenience or the MSQ will take me back to it
Ah
itās one of the better, ātrippierā beast tribes so do it if you can
I haven't unlocked it yet surprisingly
Done all the blue quests, but I suspect it wants me to get all the aether currents in StB areas
I have, save for The Peaks
Unlocking it starts in yanxia
you don't need the currents
Once you unlock the namazu there's a teleport at the base of the mountain
so do all blue in yanxia, then return to azim steppe to do another new blue to unlock it
It's not the one that requires fishing is it?
I didnt have to fish at all
Namazu is the catch all crafter and gatherer beast tribe in stormblood
just need one of them at 60
It requires a crafter or gatherer.
Ah that explains why it's red; I just read the quest title on the map which read 'A New Way of Fishing' or some like and thought it was one for FSH, since I saw one in tamamizu
Greetings! If I bought the game and I was subscribed to an account, and if I made a new account for the free trial for the up to lvl 70 and I decided to keep that account, should I buy back the game or only the subscription? Thanks a lot!
There's no free trial up to 70
Guess I'll save it for when I'm done with the battle aspect of the game
Oh but do I have to buy the game as well for the other account ?
yes
Oki thanks !
how do i pprivate message someone?
can only mail them if they're in the same server as you and added to your friendslist, to send someone a tell its /t Character name@Server
If you're with them or something you can right-click and press "tell"
otherwise you have to do something like /t [PC name]@[World name]
Like uh
/t Calamus Firma@Phoenix
ooooh thanks

Is there no way to abandon an MSQ?
some are abandon-able
Any by chance DRG mains that can tell me what 2 materia I want in my Exarchic lance? The guide on Balance only shows Edenchoir
on Exarchic specifically? Cause the Edenchoir one shows DH
!item Edenchoir Fork

ā» Materia Slots: 2
ā» Advanced Meldable: No
ā» Repaired By: Carpenter
ā» Repair Material: Grade 7 Dark Matter
ā» Dyable: Yes
ā» Desynthesis: Yes
ā» Desynth Level: An Error occured processing Desynthesis
cause edenchoir is crapped on crit
Thatās because the weapon already has Crit maxed out
Ok, just wanna make sure before I do it
Exarchic Lance is DET/DH so full Crit for that one
for overmelds?
all melds...idk, I gotta ask someone else cause my crafters aren't 80 yet
Expect to get more T7s due to the simplicity of RNG
My friend managed to blow up 42 T7 on the last overmeld for a piece of gear
it's why you generally don't overmeld lol
Can settle with just the first overmeld
especially since crafted gear is more or less disposable
overmelding isn't a necessity even if you are to attempt to clear savage floors
so don't worry about it too much @oblique trellis
So is there a way for me to determine on my own without much knowledge, which Materia a piece of gear needs?
!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.
Bottom two paragraphs
Know your jobās meld priority (check balance resourcesāalmost all jobs favour Crit > DH currently)
Meld crit unless/until itās capped
can you teleport directly to FC house? š®
Then meld DH
Yes
Yes, assuming your house has a miniature Aetheryte on the exterior
teach me :3
The house must have a miniature aetheryte furnishing in its yard
Hey I know this isnt specfically ffxiv but
are there any any complications that could arise if I use fake address for the square enix account? especially if I only plan to make digital purchases
You might need it for recovering your account if that ever happens
So best to write it down somewhere
the fake address? I see
itll bite you in the butt someday somehow if you dont have it all written down in many places im sure
is there anything i can buy for poetics if i dont need gear?

Feel free to check the first link @pastel star
ššæ thanks
I've been told to level each crafter to 20 before levelling further.. is this correct and if so why?
20 probably for ishgard
restoration
if you want to do ishgard, that advice is fine
from level 20 onward ishgard restoration is a very fast way of leveling up
Guys i never done Tribal yet. How many Ananta Daily Quests can i do per day?
oh no
for any beast tribe it's gonna take around 2 weeks to max out your rep
you can work on 2-3 beast tribes at once with 12 allowances per day
I wanted to have the false nails for tonight. They cost 6. Is it possible that friends send them through the Mogry Post or not? Need it urgently for my Christmas Glamour.
Lousy life, how am I supposed to get my glamour together
From the gold saucer
okay so for some reason my game went from 80 fps to 20 fps suddenly 
Laptop low battery? Anti virus scanning?
I play from desktop , and nope, nothing scanning
I was testing doing some crafting trials and poof
Lost most of my fps 
It's all okay now, had to restart the game
adding on to my previous question, does it matter if the address isn't accurate or is alright if its vaguely believable address
Typically, the address has to match whatās on file for whatever credit card you use. I donāt know for sure if purchases are validated in that way because every company deals with it in their own way. So if you use a fake address on the profile and purchase something with a credit/debit card that has your actual address or etc. then you might run into the purchase not completing.
Now if you donāt use a credit/debit card through a bank or so (like a pre-paid card or Crysta?) then that might work. Youāll just have to trial and error it ultimately. @potent lava
yeah Im using a debit card that isn't linked to any bank, I think, just my phone number
so itll stop me at the purchase, and it prolly wont bother me about it after that?
Yeah, if the purchase is successful then it shouldnāt bother you after that. I know I once used a card and forgot to put my middle initial as the card name, and it stopped the purchase from happening. So itāll check whatever theyāre wanting to check the second you try to confirm the purchase.
https://youtu.be/j9fYaTLHjCs?t=1886 is the stabbing animation that the NIN here does a emote of some sort?
The best of our poopin' cat dude, Tate!
If you want more, you can follow him at:
twitter.com @goldentot
twitch.tv/goldentot
that's a Rathalos raid 'emote' which happens while you're mounted
can't access it outside of the instance
okay, thats to bad but also understandable, not sure how it would look if people came to limsa just to see people stabbing everyone who plays dead
game just gave me patient touch, that seems super risky. do people actually use it?
forgot what it does,
50% success. if successful, doubles inner quiet. if fail, halves it
not really
you get a good skill later on that gives you a couple of inner quiet stacks right away

You earn more Gil in the duty roulette if your role is in demand right?
Can i only collect it once?
Or will it always give more as long as your role is needed
role in need bonus is permanent
What else can the tomestones of poetics be used for besides Ironworks gear?
like ironworks at 50, there's gear at 60 you may like
try talking with the rowena rep in foundation
Ok thank you
that one also sells other items for poetics, haven't figured out what those are for yet though
!faq poetics
1st link has tons of info for things to spend poetics on
i have some questions.
-
is it possible to buy subscription thru steam.
-
im right now playing the free trial when i buy the game from steam will my progress from the free trial transfer over or would i have to start all over again.
are you on the steam free trial?
no i downloaded the free trial from the ff14 website steam wasnt offering me a free trial
Subscription must be done on the mogstation, but you can pay with the steam wallet
If not, I've heard you can transfer it, though I don't know the details. if you are, then yeah you can just continue when you buy the game like normal
okay thanks š
what do you get from doing edens
Gear, orchestrion rolls, and a couple minions
The savage raids give better gear thatās also dyeable and mounts
It also gives upgrade tokens for the tomestone gear
orchestrion rolls?
Theyāre music rolls that you can play in your inn room.
They play music of whatever it is, whether boss fight music or zone music or more
Is it better to aim for eden lost antique armor or revelations armor?
do emerald weapon weapons have an upgrade?
ohhh
or is it just the 515 ilvl with 2 slots?
They dont
All of the allagan pieces are just for selling right?

yes
Theyāre separate loot lockouts so you can go for both at once. If you want to be optimal have them fill different slots of gear for most ilvl increase
This is a dumb question tho, but I want to confirm something
If you buy two copies of the game, do you get both copies of the 30 day subscription?
So in total you get 60 days of subscription
yes, but you cant hook them both to the same account unless they're different platforms, like mac + windows or ps4
Because I have both copies of the game in Mac and PS4, and I was wondering do I get 60 days?
yes

if you register both
buying expansiosn will not give you extra game time however
Good
It's ok
I bought normal version on Mac, but bought PS4 Collectors edition due to sales
HW lore question: ||After you see the flashback of the founding of the high houses, everyone says that its different from the one in the scripture, what is the story the scripture told?||
@jade lava #archived-lore-spoilers
yeah i wasn't sure if i should go there because i only just got to HW and didn't want to see something from like. SHB
but i'll just ask there and look away from my screen lol
Is there a new patch coming for houses?
when it comes to aether currents in locations from heavensward, i assume i wont really be able to unlock flying until the end of the story anyway, correct?
@long crow no
@cold steppe generally get the last aether current you need for that zone when you're leaving that zone
nothing announced, it would be in advance
but still its easier to get all the aether currents as you're leveling
ah i see, a bit better than i suspected then!
since im locked out of the mission currents, i think.

in expansion zones generally are going to be aether currents
there's usually 5 quest currents per zone, with the 5th one being from msq, the other 4 being 
gochu, noticed that the blue marker was on first one BUT i couldnt find more of'those, so i guess it means i have to unlock more of the story for those then, thanks
What are some easy to get horses with saddles included on them? Can be any variant, not just a regular normal horse, cash shop included. I already have that Lubu horse.
the only other normal horse mounts with saddles are juedi, which requires completing hoh 1-200 4 times, and the pvp gc mounts which requires 100 frontline victories with that gc
Hey so I am pretty new to this game. Was doing some of my first raids.. But I am not able to do any of them solo?? I clicked undersized party but it will not allow me to do any.. Also if you go in as a undersized party do you still get the end reward?
bosses themselves generally don't drop anything, no. once you defeat the boss a chest appears
same as in dungeons, there's usually chests
Pretty much
@upper imp But yeah what raid are you trying to unsync?
is there a sortable food chart for those of us with non max level alts?
I will have to check.. Might of been a guildheist or something. I am only level 18 just started.
not really, since for leveling it doesn't really matter too much tbh
Oh yeah that's not a raid
can just use boiled eggs
ah okay.
Otherwise that can get very confusing fast
Yeah I don't even play mmos often and this game has quite a-lot of content.
Ye that's fair
all food gives the same +3% exp buff so just use some water for 4 gil from a vendor
You shouldn't really want to unsync those anyway, you're only level 18 and these would be balanced around 4 people around your level @upper imp
You'd get brutally murdered
You can only unsync fights and do them solo when you are grossly over-levelled and over-geared
I'm picking up the Scholar role today and I have a question; are Eos and Selene the same?
The dungeons and trials (you probably haven't met a trial yet) will get more complex as time goes on but you'll never see a mandatory dungeon or trial be excessively difficult Orc
Aside from appearance yes
Ty
I used to play FFXIV back on PS3 and decided to come back a few days ago.
I've been playing on the Trial version on my old PC with steady and locked 60 fps.
My question is the following. Does the Trial version of FFXIV have the same computer requirements as Shadowbringers, or can I expect it to underperform or not even run if I ever decide to purchase the expansion/dlc?
Thank you.
is setting up a casino involving gil to gil trading is legal in ffxiv?
I'm not able to login to the PSN account that I used to buy FF14 but if I buy it again with a different PSN on the same console and with the same Square Enix account will I keep my progress?
technically that should be within terms of service
In ng+ you can't replay a specific quest right? You can only do the chapter from the beginning?
correct
Guess I'll just youtube what I want lol
@wintry chasm The reason I'm even asking is because every source shows different requirements from ARR to HS to SB and to SB.
Does that mean that those req were made before SE droped the support for the Playstation 3? Now that I think about it, back in the day the game needed way less powerful hardware to run.
yes and no. The PSN account you lost access to is connected to your Mogstation account so you can't just connect a new PSN account to it. You CAN however contact support and if you explain the situation they can walk you through a way to transfer your mogstation account being bound from one PSN account to another
Source: I've had to do a similar thing
Ok thanks
It took a couple weeks though
That's fine
as far as I remember it went something along the lines of, they gave me a temporary account, I had to buy the game again and on the new PSN account connect it to the temporary account and register the game for it and in so making the two PSN accounts have a SE account each with the SAME expansions on the same platform Square Enix could swap the accounts over or something like that
Thanks
That's probably the reason, if the game runs fine on trial it'll run fine in Shadowbringers content and whatnot
aside from gear for my alt jobs what should I spend my poetics on?
Well, that's great. I might buy the expansion tomorrow then.
If it doesn't work, send me the check. @wintry chasm š
!faq poetics
Another thing. Does shadowbringers bring a 1 month free subscription?
Only the base game sorry
A friend of mine before SB came out, bought stormblood and they offered him a free sub because the account was new and had never been a member before. That's why I asked.
that doesn't sound right at all
Something about that story stinks
It's true. He had the 14 days of the trial, as it was back then, plus the 30 days.
He bought it on steam.
He showed me a printscreen.
If I play FFXIV on free trial with SE account and I wanna bought the full game but can we activate it later?
On PC
yes
How to do that?
just don't redeem the code, they send you a code for that.
Iām afraid that once we purchase it. Itāll automatically redeemed or something like that
unlike when you buy in ps store, it automatically applies the code.
yes
Free trial is up to HW and Lvl 60 right?
Yup
Buying the base game gives the same as well
You'll still have to buy stormblood/shadowbringers
But that's just one purchase
should i buy the complete edition?
Yes
also do i lose anything by activating the full version now
oh wait that starts the subscription
š¤
Technically yes
you get 30 days free with the starter/complete edition
It does ignore however many days we're left on your free trial
o
free trial is unlimited
isnt the trial just unlimited on arr/hw?
free tip: you can create an alt on a preferred server if your data center has one and power level through it until 30, it also gives you a 14 or 15 days of subscription on top of the complete edition 30 days free sub.
15 days, yeah
Can i ask what would be a good beginner class
i could do that but i also have my current acc at lvl 52 :c
tbh all of the classes are pretty easy to learn at the beginning
most of the classes are pretty easy
can i ask is there a class like Monk from WoW
the game is fairly good about slowly introducing things to you
well Pugilist literally becomes Monk
oh s***
Pugilist is monk
the theme is similar (martial arts) even if the mechanics are not
Conjurer is white mage
thank you
Thaumaturge is black mage
Gladiator is paladin
Marauder is warrior
Archer is bard
Lancer is dragoon
Arcanist is special and levels simultaneously for summoner and scholar
But yeah all the starting jobs basically class up at 30
Sad
š
power leveling through to 30 with a preferred status can take only 1-2 hours if you skip all of the cutscenes and stuff.
o
So omega is broken for character creation?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
it's currently congested at the moment
you can probably create a character there if the server is not at peak hours.
not congested
Basically too full so they won't let new characters be created
as that's a very specific term for the server status, its simply temporarily locked to character creation
well rip bonus XP then
if it was congested, it would locked to both character creation and world transfer until its status is changed to preferred/standard
basically either wait until a later hour when less people are on, or try a different server
should i just buy the full game now and then activate it later on?
It's either because it's congested or temporarily locked
Guess ill go Spriggan
Check the server status for more info
If i had a friend on Omega what won't i be able to do with them?
If you're in the same data center
For example light
You can still visit servers in the same data center

Do you get anythign good from fishing?
otherwise all instanced activities (dungeons, trials, raids, etc.) are cross-server in the same datacenter
fishing can sometimes be a good money maker, depending on whether current end-game food/potions use the fish
but generally, fishing is mostly there for a chill activity
unless you do big fish, then its there to destroy your soul
can someone explain to me how the bonus experience works during the duty roulette runs?
at the end of a dungeon you get an extra chunk of experience. the larger the difference between your level and the dungeon's level, the larger this chunk is
that that's last bit is specifically for leveling roulette
is there a website that shows what different bardings looks like?
Ocean fishing is better for gathering scrips than gathering collectables imo
oh so that's why leveling roulette (16) gives way more exp than 50/60/70
That and the 50/60/70 dungeons don't give a lot of in general
well that and 50/60/70 dungeons don't give good exp in general
50/60/70 roulette is...not great for leveling up
yeah, i just realized that. Most of my runs there is antitower. 
Its because 50/60/70 dungeons aren't leveling dungeons this don't reward much
leveling roulette has a chance at such a big level difference, which is why its daily bonus scales based on level difference
the other roulettes bonus is a static percent
50/60/70 dunegon roulette is better for Tomestone reward
Spriggen is full
Its a queue
just wait a minute
Sorry ill sop talking here
it's ok š
Image?
if it's the tiny bar underneath a player in the party window, that's threat
i missed this game so much
Someone find and gift wolfy with a glamour prism and a pair of the emperors new fists
OH
so these two line of text is the same thing? It doesn't do an addition of two 10m, right?
Yeah one is logging what xp you got
The other is logging your roulette awards
You're not getting 20m xp
is there a max level for trila?
Ah shit it's chaos, can't help you
60
60 btw
oh wowo
i was chaos cuz a friend wanted me to join the game
I was going to give you a glamour to hide the monk weapons
so there is hours on end to play as a trial
Oh there's tons
you can't friend people on trial
Trade tho?
no
oh
Really wow
hmm
Shame

almost all social stuff is restricted
I need to become a blacksmith to make ingots and such right? Not an armored
well @warm snow sadly u couldn't help me either way thank you anyway
i think both blacksmith and armorer can make ingots
yep, both of them make ingots
Oh dope ^^
there will be other things that require other crafting classes (many armor recipes also need leather, for example)
A friend of mine is playing a Scholar and he's level 30 atm, he likes the class but he complains that his questing experience now is somehow bad since he has only two abilities to dps
that is normal
that's healers
Will they increase in number or will he be mostly getting healing spells?
and an aoe
that's it
and sometimes ogcd heals that also do dmg but I don't think sch gets those
oh he gets energy drain
how much is it per month?
!faq subprice
entry subscription is only a single character per server (which is enough for most people)
not too sure where to ask this but Iām trying to make a good playlist in my house with happy upbeat energy and Iām looking for good orchestrion recs!! So far itās looking like
The Kiss, Papaya, Siren song, shadows withal and what angel wakes me
you could look them up out-of-game
hmm ill have to think cuz if i can't/tell i won't be able to DM a friend
In game that's the only way to do it
You could use cmtools
But that's a third party program

Is Redraw the same as Undraw for astro? Not having as much use nowadays? Or taking gamble for specyfic ranged/melee card have it's merit?
take off undraw
yes im aware, but what about redraw
Redraw keep, just redraws your current card
gochu, im still mixing buttons so it might be iffy for me yet but if it's good then it's good lol
ast doesn't really have useless skills besides undraw
do i need Undraw for anything as a AST?
No
no
Never
it's literally useless
If you have an extra seal, just redraw or give someone lady/lord of crowns
