unborn light
#

I sell all my materia

scarlet arrow
#

no real "advantages", it's just nice to have a place to decorate and such

remote lintel
#

you shouldnt sell ALL of it

unborn light
#

you get tomestone mats by doing treasure maps

#

I never craft :S

#

thanks @remote lintel @faint flare @gritty oracle I will look into this

scarlet arrow
#

just find whatever main scenario quest you left on (there should be a tracker in the corner of your screen) and go from there

gritty oracle
#

Gardening is huge in terms of moneymaking or not having to rely on the marketboard for certain items.

teal dragon
#

ohh cool whats the cheapest one i could get?

gritty oracle
#

Good luck right now, a lot of plots will open up mid-January

#

a small is around 3M or so

lilac flume
#

is bozja a good thing to grind for levelling 70-80?

gritty oracle
#

Yes

#

Make sure to have at least one relic quest active so you can also get memories

remote lintel
#

71-80

lilac flume
#

are relics < cryptlurkers though

remote lintel
#

no

#

but theyre good catch up

lilac flume
#

huh, i thought relics were worse

gritty oracle
#

relics also make good glam once the expansion is over

#

might as well use it while it's also relevant

little swift
#

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

lilac flume
#

true

scarlet arrow
teal dragon
#

im in eu tho any different?

remote lintel
#

no

#

3 mil is the minimum

#

!faq housing

zinc orbitBOT
gritty oracle
#

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.

scarlet arrow
#

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 šŸ˜›

gritty oracle
#

yeah but auto demolish is back on

teal dragon
#

yikes welp i guess housing in FF is as bit as hard as irl then lol

agile laurel
#

feels it sadly

quasi spire
#

Is it possible to upgrade exarchic gear using allegories like neo-ishgardian with undersea rain from phantasmagoria?

faint flare
#

No

#

Not yet

#

Thats 5.5

#

And with a new item they'll add

quasi spire
#

oh okay, so what's a good outlet for allegories in the meantime?

#

i don't really craft

faint flare
#

Mats to sell

rigid dust
#

even if you don't craft, you can sell the materials for a good amount tbh~

faint flare
#

Check market board for the prices of the recently added items

#

Things like spirit ether. Horsetail etc

rigid dust
#

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:

hasty musk
#

whoever turns their stance on first is MT

faint flare
#

Or whoever pulls first

#

If both have stance on

rigid dust
#

gotcha!! c:

faint flare
#

Pretty much the same rule of law in 24mans

leaden ginkgo
#

just dont do aggro fights throughout the entire fight

rigid dust
#

aggro fights meaning provoking off of each other to try and be MT?

faint flare
#

Basically

rigid dust
#

yeah no worries, i never understood that xD i have Shirk for a reason lol

faint flare
#

Alot forget it exists

lofty orchid
#

anyone willing to help me through POTD? I'm on 21-30 and 3/4 in queue and its taking a long time

hasty musk
#

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

lofty orchid
#

its POTD so it doesn't really matter

hasty musk
#

fair

#

most people doing PoTD are probably doing 51-60 anyway

lofty orchid
#

yeh, i'm trying to get there

narrow quest
#

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?

hasty musk
#

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

narrow quest
#

i think i meant collectors edition

remote lintel
#

no

#

collectors edition only gives the dlc and digital items

narrow quest
#

ahhhhh ok

hasty musk
#

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

narrow quest
#

also is there any difference between steam vs client?

remote lintel
#

youll be locked to whatever platform you decide to play on

narrow quest
#

@hasty musk we did and we liked it so we wanted the full version

remote lintel
#

and steam has less frequent sales

lofty orchid
#

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

manic sentinel
#

"One or more of your client settings files, which include your hotbar settings, failed to save." Any idea what's causing this message?

remote lintel
#

upload your client settings in the character select screen

manic sentinel
#

okie dokie, thank you

#

I did, keep getting the same message though

burnt talon
#

Quick question, is the Firmament the quickest way to farm materia now?

potent storm
#

how do i start getting the bird mounts needed for the phoenix mount

obsidian patio
#

Tossup between that and level 78 yellow scrip turn-ins depending on prices of materials

hasty musk
potent storm
#

ah, thank you

burnt talon
#

I was assuming VII's are better to farm with scripts and VIII's are firmament.

#

But that's fair.

neon trellis
#

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.

remote lintel
#

@neon trellis thats mine

neon trellis
faint flare
#

Gear sets for easy job swapping is another idea as well

remote lintel
#

oh yeah but i keep mine on regular hotbars in the corner because i have a bunch

neon trellis
#

I bought on PS4, so trying to go Controller first, even though I know it supports kb/m just as well as Computer

teal dragon
#

is there any relic armor for samurai?

twilit arch
#

yes, they get an artifact set at lvl 70 and 80

lone zephyr
#

Im 2 quests away from finishing shb, where and how do I unlock the NieR raids?

jade lava
#

if i play healer, will i be able to queue for any of the ARR extreme trials in a decent amount of time?

twilit arch
#

"word about komra" in kholusia @lone zephyr

little swift
jade lava
#

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

proud willow
#

synced parties for Extremes also use Party Finder

#

just put synced in the description

twilit arch
#

they cant make their own party finder if they're free trial

proud willow
#

ah

twilit arch
#

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 :\

jade lava
#

yeah for now i'll just stay queued in hope that at one point i will queue

proud willow
#

there are some communities that do old content synced and min iLvl

#

so you may want to join one of those

jade lava
#

yeah i'm on an old content discord, but even there it's mostly raids and some extremes from hw and stormblood

proud willow
#

to be honest, synced but with echo turned on and crazy gear levels isn't much of a legitimate experience either

jade lava
#

sorry, what's echo?

remote lintel
#

a buff

proud willow
#

on old EXs, you get a stacking buff after each wipe. It increases damage, healing, and max HP

twilit arch
#

!buff Echo

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

twilit arch
jade lava
#

ah right

agile laurel
#

echo is an artificial stat buff given to make old content more clearable

it also stacks on wipes for old trials

twilit arch
#

!buff the echo

zinc orbitBOT
#
**The Echo**

Maximum HP, damage dealt, and potency of HP restoration actions are increased.

jade lava
#

won't items be synced?

agile laurel
#

if you have experience in WoW, the equivalent would be determination stacks

#

yes

#

but echo makes up a LOT of numbers

proud willow
#

Items will be synced to 130

#

which is still very high for stuff like Garuda and Titan

jade lava
#

oh wow yeah it is

proud willow
#

which were intended to be done in like.... ilvl 60

twilit arch
#

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

jade lava
#

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

twilit arch
#

yeah

#

ARR mechanically wasn't very hard, even though the player base's overall skill level wasn't that great either

jade lava
#

yeah that makes sense

twilit arch
#

so if you look at ARR's EXs they are fairly simple when compared to expansion exs

manic flare
obsidian patio
#

Each crafter has one at 78

pastel sparrow
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

The cheapest one is probably Alchemist and Culinarian, though you should double check as always

obsidian patio
pastel sparrow
#

i mean um i always saw a blue "wheat" marker

#

or green cant remember

forest laurel
#

there's yellow and blue ones

obsidian patio
#

Besides being on Botanist/miner to see those nodes, there has to be ones that you can gather near you

faint flare
#

Make sure prospect/triangulate are on

#

To see stuff

obsidian patio
#

Both of them have abilities to locate the nearest or highest level node for the zone

forest laurel
#

prospect/triangulate automatically turn on at lvl 2 for some odd reason, as a trait

faint flare
#

Could have accidentally turned it off

pastel sparrow
#

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. 😦

obsidian patio
#

pat pat

agile night
#

I suppose there's no way to control which parts get dyed is there? like without the pink?

raven sage
#

no

#

It was designed to dye that way unfortunately

agile night
#

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?

open ember
#

Some gear just dyes really badly

remote lintel
#

on the mog station

past sinew
#

What should I do with my Phantasmagoria Tomestones now that they're discontinued? I have them capped, for reference

raven sage
#

auriana in mor dhona will exchange them

remote lintel
#

trade them for allegory in mor dhona

past sinew
#

Ah, and can I buy Augmented Crystarium straight up, or do I need to buy the base and grind the tokens for augmentation?

raven sage
#

No you still need to get the augmentation items

#

That probably won't change until they cost poetics

past sinew
#

Ah

#

Welp, I need to do my Alliances, then

#

Wait nvm, I mistook items

wicked iris
#

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

remote lintel
#

use the recruitment channel or community finder

wicked iris
#

I don't even know how to do that šŸ‘€

remote lintel
#

under ffxiv recruitment

#

the community finder is on lodestone

native frigate
#

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

wicked iris
#

okay thanks @remote lintel !

agile night
#

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

native frigate
#

well, Is is worth doing all MSQ till lvl 60, BUT im losing alot of gil

wintry chasm
agile night
#

Oh I get it. well the gil shouldn't matter as much

wintry chasm
#

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

agile night
#

It may get quite difficult to continue doing DoH with such limited inventory

native frigate
#

but ok, ill try to find ways to dump my gil

agile night
#

I switched to full around level 50 msq, all I did to dump some money was buy gysahl greens

raven lantern
#

if i sub now, do i lose the free 30 days or does it start after the 30 days? please @, thanks!!

remote lintel
#

no it adds the days on

raven lantern
#

ohh nice thanks!

agile night
#

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

remote lintel
#

not really

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

remote lintel
#

it shouldnt charge you until your 30 days are over

leaden ginkgo
#

but its only 1 payment right? its not gonna be a monthly plan

obsidian patio
#

I do t know if steam automatically sets it up as recurring

#

You can double check the mogstation once the payment goes through and it’ll tell you if it’s reoccurring

gritty oracle
#

What can I do with my yellow crafter scrips after buying all masterbooks?

obsidian patio
#

Buy the scrip gear if you need it

#

Or materials and materia to sell for Gil

leaden ginkgo
#

recurring means.. it charges you each month?

warm snow
#

@obsidian patio you can do both via steam

obsidian patio
#

Whenever it would end, so for 90 day sub you pay every 90 days

leaden ginkgo
#

oh okay

manic flare
#

is it possible to holmgang ancient flare?

#

and ecliptic meteor?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

#

Immunity moves like holmgang generally don’t work on ā€œenrageā€ moves or failed mechanics

#

And sometimes even damage splits go through them

rigid dust
#

i've done The Last Pillar to Fall, but i dont see the quest to unlock Z1T9 extreme anywhere~?

obsidian patio
#

It should be from Unukalhai

verbal rune
#

Instances areas(waking sand, raising stone, etc) don't show the quest mark from outside

manic flare
#

how do i get regalia type G

faint flare
#

You dont atm

twilit arch
#

you'll have to wait for the 15 cross over event to rerun

obsidian patio
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Through the inventory while your Chocobo is summoned

keen goblet
#

Is everyone having connection issues?

agile night
#

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.

remote lintel
#

it already has max cp on it

#

you cant meld any more

past sinew
#

Is Trust a good way to level a Job? If so, who are the better Trust Party Members to use?

agile night
#

ah, alright. well that's good to know

weak escarp
#

When do u have access to switch between classes?

remote lintel
#

@past sinew trusts are slower than players

#

when you do your lvl 10 job quest jasem

weak escarp
#

Oh so I can switch from lancer to arcanist at lvl 10?

past sinew
#

True enough, I tried it once already. But, some say that Trust is good for insta queues for solo leveling or something

weak escarp
#

Dope

remote lintel
#

you would have to get to limsa first if you havent done that

#

which is msq lvl 15

weak escarp
#

Thats not bad really

#

Lancer for now then

#

Ty

remote lintel
#

@past sinew theyre fine if you force the tank to pull more and dont die

little swift
weak escarp
#

How can I get the hrothgar race?

#

thought u need the membership for it

remote lintel
#

buying shadowbringers and re-editing your character

weak escarp
#

There a quest or something?

remote lintel
#

no

weak escarp
#

Ah rip

remote lintel
#

you just need to own shb

weak escarp
#

Ight ill buy it if I like the game more then

#

Ty

#

Can u remove the horns of the dragon type ppl?

remote lintel
#

no

weak escarp
#

can u change how there pointed?

remote lintel
#

yes theres different types

weak escarp
#

Ight then perfect

#

Ty

raven sage
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Any idea how to contact a GM in game

gusty flax
#

system > support desk > contact us

leaden ginkgo
#

itd be neat if we can have odd horns like odd eyes

weak escarp
#

Nah the horns change style but not hoiw there pointed 😦

#

nvm u can if u go for the dragon human light mode

remote lintel
#

theyre the same horns

#

just a different color

twilit arch
#

horn shape and direction is tied to the face

#

nothing else

Shadowbringers officially starts with the quest ||The Syrcus Trench||, am I correct?

remote lintel
#

yes

jovial tide
#

Thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Remind me what there is to do in final fantasy online

obsidian patio
#

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.

#

There’s lots of different daily and weekly activities

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye ok

lavish breach
#

what materia do i focus with rdm?

honest anvil
#

Crit

oak ice
#

Crit>DH

honest anvil
#

honest anvil
#

split brook
#

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!! edgeypaissa

warped nest
#

What region

#

What platform

remote lintel
#

and what region is your friends mog station account

warped nest
#

They need to match your friend's Starter Edition

remote lintel
#

also do they own the starter edition?

lavish breach
#

@honest anvil so weird i cant put that 60 crit bc it says it will be 0 why is that?

remote lintel
#

because its capped on crit

lavish breach
#

ah

split brook
split brook
remote lintel
#

ask them

warped nest
#

Is your friend mogstation NA too?

#

Is theirs PC or Steam?

plain python
#

I have the copy of Modern Vacation, now how to make my retainer have a combat job?

lavish breach
#

so if i meld and the max crit i can add is 20 should i add DH 60 instead of 20 crit or?

split brook
remote lintel
#

then you cant use the code

#

you need to buy it off steam

warped nest
#

Steam Starter Edition cannot use PC Shadowbringers

remote lintel
#

@plain python are you trying to assign them a job or change their job

plain python
#

assign. they are new-born retainer

#

I don't know how though

remote lintel
#

did you do the quest "an ill conceived venture"

plain python
#

I don't think so

split brook
warped nest
remote lintel
#

you need to do the quest

#

modern vocation is only for upgrading their job

plain python
#

oh I see

wraith stirrup
#

Me and my friend are having trouble connecting to FFXIV. Is this problem happening to anyone else? Were on Primal btw

remote lintel
#

yes

#

a bunch of NA players are having connection issues

#

are you playing on steam?

wraith stirrup
#

yes

remote lintel
#

šŸ¤” ok just wondering

#

looks like it may be people with at&t

#

so probably a node or something is borked

#

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?

honest anvil
#

ā€œUnable to use Thav onion at this timeā€ what causes this?

#

Drk’s meld priority is similar to rdm’s

#

Crit

lavish breach
#

so full on crit and dh

remote lintel
#

sks to tier > crit > dh > det

obsidian patio
#

When looking at the companion menu they’ll be at 0/x experience and can’t gain anymore

lavish breach
#

sks as in skill speed?

remote lintel
#

yes

violet meteor
#

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.

lavish breach
#

thanks alot for the help

obsidian patio

#

Wanted to be a lancer but I hate the close range 😦

#

Arcanist is fun gonna roll with that

leaden ginkgo
#

bard shoots tiny lances

#

well i guess theyre called arrows

plain python
#

continue MSQ

#

you will unlock duty: main scenario that will give you heap of poetic tome daily for ironwork gear ilv130

raven sage
#

Farming poetics would be fastest after that

#

Since your only other option would be level a crafter and make them himself

plain python
#

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

gritty oracle
#

BLM: If Thunder runs out during fire phase, I should still refresh it, right?

plain python
#

oh well, you have duty lv50 dungeon or ambador keep hard?

#

these give tome too

twilit arch
#

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

weak escarp
remote lintel
#

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

jade quartz
#

Mobs do not get in the way of line of sight

#

Could be any reason they’re doing it

Feeling antsy and in a hurry

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.

#

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

jade quartz
#

A white mage can and should always start with holy as soon as you’ve finished pulling

#

So expect it

Hello, So I'm trying to currently setup the game, (free trial)

Is anyone else having a hard time staying logged in on PS4 right now? I get in and I’m super laggy and I keep getting disconnected. Not sure if it’s my internet (seems to be fine) or something else

#

can retainer have multiple job? Or only one per retainer?

leaden ginkgo
#

One per retainer

#

If you wanna switch jobs for them, you basically wipe its leveling data etc.

#

@plain python

plain python
#

oh

#

am I in disadvantaged for making two combat retainers? I make them to appreciate my friends' combat characters

leaden ginkgo
#

Retainers are a bad source of income anyways, normally, so I wouldn't worry about them too much

plain python
#

I see, kk

leaden ginkgo
#

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

plain python
#

can retainer fails in venture if their iLv is too low?

leaden ginkgo
#

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

plain python
#

hm ok

remote lintel
#

fisher makes the least gil of all gatherers

leaden ginkgo
#

I just got FSH retainer in the past for stuff like HQ Blood

remote lintel
#

recommended is 1 combat 1 gatherer

#

I also got 9 retainers though so doesn't matter much to me..

#

I never really understood why people insist on tanking in one specific corner of fist of the son

twilit arch
#

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

jovial tide
#

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

twilit arch
#

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?

you don't need the currents

!faq melding

zinc orbitBOT
#
Materia & Melding FAQ

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.

jade quartz
#

Bottom two paragraphs

#

Know your job’s meld priority (check balance resources—almost all jobs favour Crit > DH currently)

#

Meld crit unless/until it’s capped

#

can you teleport directly to FC house? 😮

jade quartz

#

Typically, the address has to match what’s on file for whatever credit card you use. I don’t 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 don’t use a credit/debit card through a bank or so (like a pre-paid card or Crysta?) then that might work. You’ll just have to trial and error it ultimately. @potent lava

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, if the purchase is successful then it shouldn’t 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 it’ll check whatever they’re wanting to check the second you try to confirm the purchase.

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?

which raids are you trying to unsync

and yes, you still get chest rewards

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

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

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.

wintry chasm
#

Same requirements

#

after all it is the same game

worthy basin
#

is setting up a casino involving gil to gil trading is legal in ffxiv?

plucky ether
#

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?

In ng+ you can't replay a specific quest right? You can only do the chapter from the beginning?

hollow wraith
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

Source: I've had to do a similar thing

plucky ether
#

Ok thanks

wintry chasm
#

It took a couple weeks though

plucky ether
#

That's fine

wintry chasm
#

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

plucky ether
#

Thanks

Another thing. Does shadowbringers bring a 1 month free subscription?

wintry chasm
leaden ginkgo
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

Something about that story stinks

leaden ginkgo
#

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.

cosmic pilot
#

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

worthy basin
#

yes

cosmic pilot
#

How to do that?

worthy basin
#

just don't redeem the code, they send you a code for that.

cosmic pilot
#

I’m afraid that once we purchase it. It’ll automatically redeemed or something like that

worthy basin
#

unlike when you buy in ps store, it automatically applies the code.

cosmic pilot
#

Ah I see

#

Thanks for the info!

#

The code will be sent to our email?

worthy basin
#

yes

cosmic pilot
#

Free trial is up to HW and Lvl 60 right?

warm snow
#

Yup

#

Buying the base game gives the same as well

#

You'll still have to buy stormblood/shadowbringers

#

But that's just one purchase

barren rivet
#

should i buy the complete edition?

cosmic pilot
#

Yes

barren rivet
#

also do i lose anything by activating the full version now

#

oh wait that starts the subscription

#

šŸ¤”

warm snow
#

Technically yes

twilit arch
#

you get 30 days free with the starter/complete edition

warm snow
#

It does ignore however many days we're left on your free trial

barren rivet
#

o

twilit arch
#

free trial is unlimited

barren rivet
#

isnt the trial just unlimited on arr/hw?

warm snow
#

I must be misremembering

#

Nvm

worthy basin
#

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.

twilit arch
#

15 days, yeah

left lantern
#

Can i ask what would be a good beginner class

barren rivet
#

i could do that but i also have my current acc at lvl 52 :c

warm snow
#

Gladiator is pretty straightforward

#

Imo

scarlet arrow
#

tbh all of the classes are pretty easy to learn at the beginning

twilit arch
#

most of the classes are pretty easy

left lantern
#

can i ask is there a class like Monk from WoW

twilit arch
#

the game is fairly good about slowly introducing things to you

scarlet arrow
#

well Pugilist literally becomes Monk

left lantern
#

oh s***

warm snow
#

Pugilist is monk

scarlet arrow
#

the theme is similar (martial arts) even if the mechanics are not

warm snow
#

Conjurer is white mage

left lantern
#

thank you

warm snow
#

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

So omega is broken for character creation?

Why can't I enter this server?

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.

worthy basin
#

it's currently congested at the moment

#

you can probably create a character there if the server is not at peak hours.

twilit arch
#

not congested

warm snow
#

Basically too full so they won't let new characters be created

twilit arch
#

as that's a very specific term for the server status, its simply temporarily locked to character creation

left lantern
#

well rip bonus XP then

twilit arch
#

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

left lantern
#

i get this warning on Cerberus (EU)

barren rivet
#

should i just buy the full game now and then activate it later on?

slate arrow
#

It's either because it's congested or temporarily locked

left lantern
#

Guess ill go Spriggan

slate arrow
#

Check the server status for more info

twilit arch
#

its temporarily locked

#

since there's literally no congested worlds at the moment

left lantern
#

If i had a friend on Omega what won't i be able to do with them?

warm snow
#

If you're in the same data center

#

For example light

#

You can still visit servers in the same data center

So people from twintania can play with people from zodiark

#

For example

scarlet arrow
#

free companies (guilds) are server-exclusive

upper imp
#

Do you get anythign good from fishing?

scarlet arrow
#

otherwise all instanced activities (dungeons, trials, raids, etc.) are cross-server in the same datacenter

twilit arch
#

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

worthy basin
#

can someone explain to me how the bonus experience works during the duty roulette runs?

scarlet arrow
#

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

twilit arch
#

that that's last bit is specifically for leveling roulette

manic flare
#

is there a website that shows what different bardings looks like?

warm snow
#

Ocean fishing is better for gathering scrips than gathering collectables imo

worthy basin
#

oh so that's why leveling roulette (16) gives way more exp than 50/60/70

warm snow
#

That and the 50/60/70 dungeons don't give a lot of in general

twilit arch
#

well that and 50/60/70 dungeons don't give good exp in general

scarlet arrow
#

50/60/70 roulette is...not great for leveling up

worthy basin
#

yeah, i just realized that. Most of my runs there is antitower. haha

warm snow
#

I mean it's good, once

#

That's because antitower is the fastest for the new relics

open ember
#

Its because 50/60/70 dungeons aren't leveling dungeons this don't reward much

twilit arch
#

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

open ember
#

50/60/70 dunegon roulette is better for Tomestone reward

Its a queue

i think both blacksmith and armorer can make ingots

twilit arch

yep, both of them make ingots

buoyant sorrel

Oh dope ^^

scarlet arrow

there will be other things that require other crafting classes (many armor recipes also need leather, for example)

round ermine

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

worthy basin

that is normal

remote lintel
#

that's healers

round ermine
#

Will they increase in number or will he be mostly getting healing spells?

remote lintel
#

no

#

healers get 1 dmg and 1 dot

worthy basin

yeah, at 40 something scholar will get an aoe.

and an aoe

that's it
