Official census? There hasn't been one for a long time.
Which was like 5 years ago
You won't find any relevant official numbers.
Unofficial censuses aren't necessarily the most reliable--they all come with some kind of caveat in terms of how they access the data/judge who is active etc.
ive been using https://ffxivcensus.com/
looked very official to me lol
They track players by reading their achievement profiles on the Lodestone official website
This means they only gather data on players who have their achievement profiles set to public
Also some people unlock all the jobs and just don’t play the ones they don’t like
Which skews numbers
Yes, that's just jobs unlocked which is
I have all jobs at 80, but I rarely play any of the melee DPS
kind of meaningless honestly
And also, "active players" just counts those who have completed base Shadowbringers MSQ
so they could have been inactive for over a year now
not to mention all the new players pre-ShB completion whose stats aren't tracked in any way at all
so yeah
don't put stock in that data
when should i worry about a proper rotation?
Most jobs don’t really get a structured rotation until the 30-40’s, depending on the job
Define "proper rotation", I guess.
I would recommend trying to learn what the best practice is for playing your job anytime
you don't have to go super hardcore on it
but y'know
figure out how stuff works and what's generally most efficient.
ive been thinking about worrying about rotations once i get my 3rd seal, so farm ive been using ninjutsu off-cd
In terms of ninjutsu your priority for them right now is
1 Targets: Raiton
2 Targets or more: Katon
ye thats what ive been doing
so I think I made a mistake
I bought the complete edition but registered a different country during payment (Canada) from my account country (US)
now its giving me error code i2501 when I try to put it in mogstation
I have the code still, is there any workaround to this?
if you opened the code, doubt they will refund it
well is the code still usable in some way?
like through vpn
Or if worst come to worst, making a completely new account (canada this time) and starting over
and there's no expiry on this code?
dont think i250i is country code
problem
sorry queued just popped
hey
so yeah
don't think it's the country problem. i2501 problem could mean anything 🤔
yeah I tried doing on mobile just now and it seems to have passed through fine
thanks for the help still
pleasure

You're not immune to damage while in walking dead, right?
You mean drk invicibility?
You are invincible to practically everything except wipe mechanics at that point as DRK
You're not immune to damage, no, but you can't die
But if you aren't healed to 100% health in a set number of seconds you go bye bye
Basically waht Plat said
You basically survive with 1 hp
it's not healed to 100% hp
It's "healed for 100% of max health", not "to 100%"
you have to be healed by the equivalent of your max hp

drk was like that before, and if you didn't have a whm in your party then you were FUCKED
7/10 times yeah, DRK invuln is such a bitch without a WHM
at least now drk is like, fine to use with any healer
but drks love whm because of bene
Its doable without a WHM & their Bene, but.. Sighhhh
Sorry pretty new. WHM?
White Mage
Thanks
They have a skill called benediction which heals a target member for 100% of their max HP
Which considering Living Dead needs 100% max HP healed or they die in a set number of seconds without it
You can see why DRKs like having a WHM around
I usually set up a macro when using waking dead
So the healer knows that it has to heal me
invuln-wise
paladin > gunbreaker > warrior >>>>>>>> drk
DRK has such a shitty invuln, lmao
that's what it gets for having the best active mitigation in the game lmao
Drk also lasts way longer
yeah
Yep
Me and my friends are going to practice E4S because most of them are burn out with E9S - E12S
I think healers will get used to it hehe
At least Superbolide has no side effects
holmgang and drk, you gotta check out the buff icon 😂
I'm a healer main, I can usually spot a GNV inculn but holy fuck
I STILL HATE IT
I can't spell, fml
Superbolide has the side effect of being able to die before invuln kicks in if you're unlucky
I think if you just casted it too late
there's an animation delay before the spell gone through
I always saves up all my defensive skills for Superbolide
No, there's a very brief moment between it setting you to 1 hp and giving invuln
God I love healing though, having to know all of a bosses mechanics + having to keep everyone alive + knowing when to use healing OGCds & GCDs is like
12/10
Addicting
So I use some before propping Superbolide
...what?
Considering it set sur hp to literal 1
Yeah
That
You can get sneezed on & die regardless
Save ur defensive cooldowns for other things
Anywho
I struggle E10 a lot
More like I don't know the fight very well so I might practice

So, if I want to get Thancred Car in E4S I would need at least to run E4S eight times before I could get the mount?
Oh wait no
Thancred's Car is guaranteed drop
I would need to run E4S eight times for everyone to get the car

where do you get alexandria page book thingy that you trade for gear?
Did they remove Striking Dummies in the overworld? I cant seem to find any and I cant enter Stone Sky Sea on my current level :/?
from alexander savage @teal dragon
where do you unlock that
Wandering Minstrel in Mor Dhona
ok
no there's a bunch all over, the earliest one to find is summerford farms outside limsa @cunning raptor
Yeah thats why im so confused and came here to ask, Im standing right there but no striking dummies in sight 🤔
this one right?
coeurlregina up in gilgamesh if anyone wants to help
not sure if this is the chat for that
as you enter the farm area inside the round wall/fence, turn right as you enter the gate and they should be right there @cunning raptor
yeah that's from a12s, so 12th fight of alexander savage, the soul of the creator (savage), though it's an old raid of high difficulty so a. people don't do it very often, except for glamour and b. if they do do it then it's with a grou of overleveled people at 80 so that most difficult mechanics can be skipped @teal dragon
shire gear bought with poetics should be fine
don't have to spend gil
msq will have a lot of level-appropriate gear as quest rewards as well
Plus
Shire is better until lvl 65
And you can skim the levels up to 70 with Shire anyway, before you get your job set
the job sets are always basically the lowest ilvl you can get at a level cap so you should replace that with the next available poetics gear tier as well
Can anyone message me e10s akito macro strat?
english translation right?
Yeah, they're good for the latest msq of that expansion
is there awebsite that shows all equipment sets for glamourpurposes?
Check the pinned message in the glamour channel
Ffxiv collection is the better one for a direct visual check
eorzeacollection
i know how 2/1/0 chests works in savage. but how does that affect equipment drops? why does 2 chest give 3 gear pieces? what does 1 chest give then? 2 or 1 gear piece?
Its 50/50 which chest spawns. Each item has its own chest its assigned to and its random which one is spawned im a 1 chest clear. So in E9S, you could get the chest with 2 accessories in or the one with one accessory
can you hide unused button on the hotbar?
ok

ty
What happens when I have 20/20 unread mails and I get another?
/Gpose
You'll get it but you won't be able to access it until you delete at least one mail
do you know if there's a limit to how many can be on top?
Still, you should delete necessary mail
hi guys does anyone know what are the dungeons needed to unlock lv80 roulette?
amaurot, grand cosmos, anamnesis anyder from msq
twinning, akadaemia anyder, from
in crystarium and eulmore
thanks! 😄
Hi! I unlocked the challenge log, but it won't let me open it. What do i do?
Trying to do squadron missions
are you trying to open the challenge log to start squadron missions?
cause the Challenge Log is just a list of weekly tasks you can do for some rewards
is bard fun to play? gameplay-wise?
Yeah but i keep getting a message saying i can't open it
well Challenge log doesn't just start whatever activity its listing. its a just a list
Fun to play hard to optimize due to low personal dps. Good buffs
if you wan't to do squadron missions you'll need to reach that rank with your Grand Company
and follow all those steps
right so are you in your Squadron Hall? with your squadron?
or just out in the overworld?
your free company will direct you to it when you unlock it
Hmm not sure if i have a free company lol
sorry. grand
I have to make one, right?
Yes Immortal Flames
Okay that's your Grand Company
Cool then what?
Squadron Hall is the door on the left
if you can't access it then you havent unlocked it.
Behind the hunt billmaster?
yes
Yes

which gear pieces can you get from which savage fight in the current tier? i cant find a clean list anywhere
!faq savageloot
which tank job is more player friendly to someone who wants to learn how to tank, PLD or WAR?
Nice quality gear tends to have stats lower than the represented item level so while other factors will come into play for damage it would decrease your mainstat which would affect your damage
@swift pasture they're both fine to pick up, as tanks in general aren't difficult to learn. But warrior has an easier late game rotation
do you have an estimated %?
war is regarded as the easiest
a good starting point
I'll practice WAR then, thank you!
The ballpark figure is, NQ is like 15-20 ilvl lower in stats
So a i115 NQ is more like i100 ish HQ
Take note that for dungeon, raids, and tomestone doesn't have NQ/HQ, but they have stat matching their ilvl
thank you!
Only NQ crafted gears has neutered stafs
well i bought crafted 510 gear and now i realized that theres also a hq version of it
Yah you got the less good stuff
While usable not ideal
Can always hold onto it for the next patch when you can trade it in for certificates
thanks will keep that in mind

example the crafted 510 nin weapon in nq is 116dmg, 586 dex, 657 vit, 454 crit, 318 det while a hq one has 129dmg, 651 dex, 730 vit, 504 crit and 353 det so it is a lot between nq and hq
yeah
It's been there since day one of 2.0
Does anyone know how long the current sale on the complete edition lasts?
I created my char in Cactuar and moved to Siren, but when I chat with other party members, they see '@vale pumice after my name, is that ok?
Thats just showing what your home world is
but my hopme is siren
Did you world visit or pay for the transfer
$18 for transfer
I created in cactuar, then payed for world transfer to siren.
Today, I'm in Siren, I havent visited other worlds today, but when my party member chats with me, he see cactuar after my name
how high level can I get with the free trial?
60
is sch meld prio crit > dh > det or crit > det > dh?
crit > dh > det for pretty much every healer
also food is popotoes, right?
det is better if you dont have bis though imo
mostly because youd rather meld sps for a proper gcd tier
food is popoto salad ye
Is there a way to send fairy to specific coordinates with a macro?
sadly no
is there a FF14 veteran willing to spend 10-15 mins in a call refreshing me on this game? I remember how to kill shit and avoid dying but outside of that I'm a big ole noob. could pay if thats needed.

anything specific?
honestly, just wander around doing whatever you want lol
I dont need any info on the skills really just would like a little break down of how I get to the next step towards extreme trials and possibly raids. lvl 80 already and finished the rest of the story I missed. aside from doing my dailies I dont remember what else I gotta do. Im sure I missed some of the bigger releases since SB came out.
Hi i want to transfer from a congested world to a prefered world but its still charging me
i thought that would be free?
What world are you in
!status ragnarok
wur
You're not congested
Its not congested
There is a big difference between CONGESTED and unable to create characters
you can go unlock the eden raids and the new trials
after doing weekly deliveries, is there anything else that's particularly good for crafters scrips?
Not really, just normal collectables
The only other way to get them: collectibles
guess it's time for me to mass produce some collectible or another
someone sent me multple links last night that were helpful but Im just a big dummie when it comes to this kinda stuff so I get bogged down in the immense amount of info they try to give. plus it would be nice to know what I can get rid of inventory wise as well. and where do I turn in my old allogan marks from the earlier patch? easy questions just easier for me to talk then type
does any one know how to deal with the micro stutter in FFXIV? even when I have constant 60 fps I get this shit
okay I can maybe help in call then (or DM me so we're not taking up this channel)
abd I know I get over 60 fps but I limit it to just 60
@faint flare is the free transfer only available to congested worlds?
Yes, has to be clearly labelled as Congested
Congested to preferred is free
Dont think there is any congested worlds atm
Is there a way to change what entrance u exit when u rent a chocobo?
btw I wanna add FFXIV to Nvidia controll pannel so I can make changes, but what exe I should chose? the FFXIV_dx11.exe or the Launcher ?
new character restriction just means that world is full at that particular time (peak hours), at off hours that status will probably not be there
im trying to download the game and im getting the patch error [30413][25008][20495][20495] need help plox ;=;
What materias should I be using for gunbreaker?
@wide seal
Thank you much appreciated 🙏
whats the difference between the pc and steam version of ffxiv ?
Hello ! Do all servers on Chaos give double xp ?
because the expansion is way cheaper for pc version
Steam permanently locks you to it and you cant use other retailers to buy future expansions
Only servers labelled as preferred
!preferred Chaos
Which is only Omega
Ok thank you ! Does it change pretty often usually or can I take my time grinding ? lol
It changes every patch typically
But you keep it for minimum 90days
Even if it changes soon after creation
Ok thank you very much
does bind stop attacks like stun?
no
aww :C
stun doesn't even stop boss attacks later
Interject does but only specific boss attacks
Most bosses are immune to stun or interject
gochu, thank
I finished the MSQ up to the current patch, and my sub ends today. Is there anything that I should do that would justify re-upping?
raids?
Raids. Otherwise, better to wait for either ishgard or 5.45
Sounds good, this is my first time being caught up, so I am at a lose
Have you ever played the board game "Battleships"?
i played the game and get nothing
You get a bunch of guesses to pick squares, and if there's nothing under the squares you pick, you get nothing
you must complete the whole design?
You need to uncover the full image to get rewards
There are a couple "prizes" under the squares in the shape of some things, and you need to uncover a whole "prize" for rewards
How much you get is listed on the side for each image
theres only a sword and chest rightr
And there's a chance for the Fox
Which is on a single square and gives the most
He's not always there however
It's a weekly thing you do if you're not interested in savage raiding
Can someone help me with stage 29 watery grasp? I usually Bristle Electrogenesis J Kick Shock Strike one of them and that kills it, and unload Surpanakha, Glass Dance and Feather Rain on the other, but I still can't kill it with electrogenesis before it gets 2 palmistry off and/or can't interrupt fluid swing.
usually dump magic hammer on 2 too
Would sticky tongue work on the grasps?

Do you have to wait 30 days before the refer a friend rewards can kick in? My friend is saying it wont work until his free days have ended
would anyone be willing to help me form a group for sb 24 mans? I need to complete them for the relic weps
Is there a site I can put in ingredients and have it tell me what I can make? Google isn't helping me find one if there is. JUST with materials I have on me.
You can right click the item and select "View Recipes"
Yeah, but I mean to see if I can make something without buying other ingredients. JUST put 15 things I have in my inventory and see if something can be made without purchasing more items.
Why would they be too high level? I've maxed all my tradeskillers to 80.
what food is sch using this patch? Chicken like everyone else?
because if they had something like that people who are leveling crafters would try to look things up
you need to know what youre making
I guess so..? Leveling crafters is pretty simple with the daily quests though.
But no worries, I appreciate the reply!
There is no point pentamelding/overmelding an exarchic set if the person is not interested in raiding as of the moment, right?
yeah if you're not wanting to step into savage/right away, then save yourself gil and don't bother pentamelding
so i wasted 3m gil woops
How to unlock quest Inscrutable Tastes, or where to check if I already completed it and dont remember?
I have all requirments for unlocking it, and it doesnt appear
And I cant find it in Journal-Complete-sidequests-ishgard
You don't have it active do you?
no
can you talk to the house of splendors npcs in the 3 major cities/mor dhona
is there any discord or presets site?
Im in mor dhona, you mean the 2 girls who sell ironworks?
no
there's a second tent next to the ironworks girls
that has house of splendors npcs
The npc script exchange ?
yes
yes, I can talk with them, the girl shows a menu for selecting 5 options, the guy says something about echanging old things
then you've already done inscrutable tastes
oh, but in which section of journal-complete is that?
ishgardian sidequests
it should be under ishgardian sidequests
Oh, wow, it IS there, just that the bottom quests in the list doesn't follow the quest lvl order
what order the quests follow in the lists inside journal? It isn't lvl order, it isn't yellow/blue icon because they're mixed
If anyone has seen an available small plot on any server, let me know.
any server? not yours?

No, pretty much impossible on Levi, not happening
you can't buy houses on other worlds
unless you're planning to transfer specifically for that purpose, which doesn't strike me as a good idea
also getting a house is difficult on most worlds, unless Levi has specific bullshit on it that I'm unaware of
Quick question how do houses work in FFXIV? Like ik u gotta buy a spot but is it just like something to blow money on? Or is there like a perk or something
Levi is just really high population but yeah I don't know that any Primal world will be "easy." Maybe on Crystal but even then I doubt it. Your best bit is gonna be the release of Ishgard housing honestly. In the meantime I'd just keep checking constantly. Since the demo timer is back up some should pop up now and again. After that you just gotta fight the timer and the autoclicker botters
its a money sink
^
So just cosmetic then?
Lets you gardeb
Ah
Yeah it's just a vanity thing. The only true gil sink in the game which is unfortunate
How hard is it to get land?
hard
extremely
Gardening is the only real mechanical advantage
And quick access to market board depending on location
didnt they remove the freeze?
Ah rip
yeah, timer's back on
so it shouldnt be too hard to get one eventually
Just got to late game raiding, can someone explain got link to what it means by the whole "weekly reward limit" thing, as its very vague
you used to be able to only get one piece of gear per week in puppet's, but that got removed with 5.4
now the weekly lock is on the 8 man raids
So i can keep running unless i want the clusters, dont know what there for but thanks
❤️
you trade clusters for materia
In the Mog station can u pay using steam balance like u can with membership?
the clusters are traded for materia
Steam wallet can be used for subscription yea
Yeah but what about Mog items like the minions
Ah okay
Can always attempt and report back
crysta is like currency
you might be able to buy crysta with steam wallet and use that
dohn mheg
thanks
When can I get a flying mount?

'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
Why would you sacc unless someone was dead before the mechanic
Just do it the mechanic right
Giving someone weakness is never the answer
Ah I see
you can, happened to us on accident a few times
that person is extremely dead though and if you planned on hallowed ground it still does damage down to thats arguably worse than dying
it's even worse if you die, get up and get hit by it for damage down
can I hire apartments immediately in Kugane when I first arrived to it? Or I need a quest?
Am I missing one? Or does the first one come after GC for some reason?
either twinning in the crystarium or akadaemia anyder in the slums of eulmore
the other one should be anamnesis anyder
Once you arrive at Kugane there is a quest to unlock Kugane's housing, AFAIK, like any other housing
if you u wanna be taken advantage of Market board or Boutique NPC
The NPC is usually much cheaper
In order to meld materia do u need to have the corresponding DoH at the same level as the gear you're trying to meld?
Is there a way to load character appearance data without backing all the way out and starting over? I seem to recall their being one
go into the creation menu for a retainer?
you need a retainer fantasia for that?
you would, be retainer fantasias are usually fairly cheap
I'm looking to hire new retainers, but want to try different saved appearances. But backing all the way out each time is cumbersome
I don't think there is
Hi yall, so a returnee here, and with a weird case. I want to transfer my games from the PS4 to PC
and im unsure if I can just do that easily or if I just need to buy them again on the PC
you need to buy it again
im honestly starting fresh out since I didnt even get that far with my oldie, didnt get to HW
How many people so far have the title for soloing the entire potd? I heard like two people in the whole world.
You can check the solo leader boards
Surprisingly I have seen a lot of people with the necromancer title
At least 5 different people lol
If you got it, you'll probably wear it
True
is it just me or is WHM much simpler than AST?
Im lvling WHM after AST to 50 and i feel like, you have less stuff to press in general, which also means you can pay attention more to other stuff
white mage is the simplest healer
Whm is the simplest healer
Hmm...
But AST looks much cooler

omg I found A SMALL PLOT on the deadest JP server. ONE! WOOOOOOO. But its being camped 
relocate to it
Is there an easy way to put stuff on housing lofts or do we still have to do that awful stacking method?
hai, question: if there is someone in free trial in one server, and you (not in free trial) create a character in that same server with the name of the person on the free trial account, what happens?
You can't.
It won't let you.
For naming purposes, all characters created have the same weight, regardless of whether they're free trial or pay-to-play
New to all this so sorry if a basic question...Best place for glamour crystals and dispellers?
Your grand company sells them
from your gc
Thanks very much
If we enter E9S with one person who's already completed the fight. And we get our chests reduced from 2 to 1. How many pieces of loot is that? Is it only one coffer or two?
1 coffer 2 items iirc
Because with 2 chests, it's only 3 coffers right?
1 chest
And its 50/50 which chest it is
Oy could be the one with two, or it could be the one with one item
1 chest, my experience so far ended up with receiving 1 piece of loot
probably because of it being a random chest that contains either 1 or 2
Yes
Are all the savages the same layout? 2 chests, 3 items?
!faq savageloot
With 2 chests
Is there a lvl 60-70 sam guide?
weskalber
Ah, let me see
so i just ranked up with moogle beast tribe and it says i'm supposed to get 3 more beast tribe quests, but they aren't showing up on the map. I have 6 more beast tribe allowances left
to what rank
sworn
you dont get the extra quests at higher ranks
i did for namazu
Sworn/bloodsworn doesn't give you extra quests that day
Do I have to do the lv 80 role quest before getting the artifact gear?
Yes
what is artifact gear
the job gear
the job specific gear you get at 50/60/70/80
What's the command to do an emote without posting in the chat log? I can't get it to work in a macro
Oh i was doing /motion <emote>
Thank you lol I'm a dumbass
what happens to my furniture when my house is auto demolished?
It goes to the housing caretaker npc
For 35 days
Before it goes poof for good
You'll also get 80% of your gil back that you paid for the plot with auto demolish
housing caretaker? where is that?
They're around the housing district...in a few different locations
does the same NPC give the gil back?
Yes
thank you, I appreciate your help =]
if q up for frontline roulette with my paladin can i change to another job and still get the reward xp for my paladin or no?
oo nice thank you
@faint flare what happens to the items that were in my housing storage? do those also go poof if I don't claim them? or only the furniture that was placed?

so i know hallowed ground doesn't work for covered damage
but what if i cover and hallowed a shared tankbuster
i only take one person's damage, right?
i'd guess yes but why
ARR spoilers for new players ig
||Thancred is Lahabrea. Why THE FUCK. Is he...here in the walking sands....congratulating me???????????||
@vast torrent ||he was possessed by lahabrea, he is not lahabrea||
oooooh
its fine to ask in here, so long as its properly tagged which it is
and it doesn't require a lengthy explanation which it didnt
early game lore questions can be better suited for here since #archived-lore-spoilers usually talks about late game stuff
and could spoil people
I bought the snowman stew off the mog station for decoration. If one of my fc memebers enters my apartment (I live in our guild house) can they eat it? What happens if someone eats it all? Can I prevent people from eating it?
can you do world of darkness unsync just for fun?
they cant eat it
or is that not possible?
probably
yeah we are 3
Can you enter with 1 person?
i dont think WoD has any mechanics that require more bodies
but we aren't sure if we can clear it. want to try it
you can enter with 1 but you cant clear it
kk
no, 24mans do not allow you to enter as 1
oh
you have to have atleast 3 people
oh
ohh
and how do you que unsync?
the same way?
like trials/raids?
How do I check what my main story quest lvl is?
your journal
Ah got it
oh we have to be in a group and just que for it?
Whats the easiest mount I can get?
the default chocobo
You need to set up an alliance raid, iirc which you can do thru party finder
Ah okay ty
ah got it!!!
Story chocobo, need to do more MSQ
will try thanks! 🙂
other easy mounts are the achievement certificate ones
or bought on mog
would just note for the atomos part, you make sure you use your knockback immunities
You can’t use any other mount until you’ve got the default chocobo
oh right
That unlocks the mount function
Even if you buy Mog Station mounts early, you won’t be able to use them until you’ve unlocked the chocobo
do what
get on top of that thing
Jump around
how do ppl get on top of the fc chest in limsa lominsa?
Same answer
Hey can i ask for advice cuz i feel like im missing something
bootshine is one of your attacks
did you do bootshine
left click on the target
while targeted it
press bootshine
😅
read your tooltips
Just to clarify: in XIV, you don't wait to use your skills
You use them when they are ready (with conditions which I won't cover right now)
So don't click a target, and wait for your character to auto attack it to death
Use skill to kill stuff faster
Yeah i get that i use the outlined attack as well
those are combos
generally you flip flop between your buff/dot combo and your pure dmg combo
@remote lintel perhaps we link the welk video here?
I think they did a updated monk vid for 5.4
sure
They will do a much better job than us typing here
Do i need a full account to buy a house?
yes
Yes
they cost millions and the gil cap on trial is only 300k
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Monks how to Monk 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...
to learn how to monk
i might know something to cancel to change with FFXIV
The video does a great job teaching new player how to use a job, but don't be shy to drop by here to ask questions if you have any of them.
Thank you
i mean £9 its more cheaper then WoW
If i buy shadow do u get all previous DLC?
Yes
I have been queuing for It's probably pirate for like an hour now. Is anyone willing to help lol? I am in Spriggan and I am a DPS
@left lantern take note that you need to buy Starter Edition to become a subscriber, then Shadowbringers to get the lvl 60-80 expansion contents
Shadowbringers alone cannot change your free trial status
nvm just started
thank god
Alternatively you can buy Complete Edition, which is just Starter + Shadowbringers rolled into one

even if you play trial with steam, you get the same launcher. steam is what i am going through myself
oh i never got it through steam
That's fine
I think one of these combination doesn't work:
Steam Trial to Window Start Edition
Window Trial to Steam Starter Edition
But I keep forgetting which is which
Steam to Steam or Window to Window are perfectly fine
hey has savage always been like this
i thought u had to clear 1 before going to 2 and so on
but its letting me join any one
you can join any of them, but you lose the ability to get loot from any savage trial you skip over (i.e. if you clear E11S without clearing E9S or E10S you won't be able to go back and get loot from 9 or 10 that week)
if there are 2 paladins in the party, do our divine veil shields stack?
no
mmk
im looking forward to trying mage when i can
@warped nest steam trial to windows doesnt work
once you touch steam in any way youre locked to it
Thanks for the reminder, I need to write that down somewhere
surprised how cheap one appearance change is
until you get addicted to them
similar
Yes basically
Which floor do people farm for exp?
21-30
For HoH, 21-30
I guess I have to get to that first then
If you meet the requirements of the craft, usually
it does nothing when i press synthesize
Are you on the correct class?
yea
What error message pops up?
Not busy? Ie mounted or anything
And nothing pops up?
nothing
Hmm, do you have a secondary tool equipped?
do you move into crafting position?
That might be a requirement
Are you trying to quick synth?
no
yes
no
i'd try to relog
Hi im new, this is channel for cherching help or mate ?
Or where i can find mate pls ?
If you’re just searching for other people to play with, ask in-game or try #retired-eu-datacentres
can anyone resurrect u ?
Yes
healers yes
And red mages and summoners
And whoever the hell carries phoenix downs
no way to do it myself?
You res yourself at your home point
You can only have 1 down in your inventory too, so that’s dumb
Hold the button down on the popup when you die
ok relogging fixed it
can i join guilds as a trail
no
i know i asked this b4 but i want to make sure i have it right
If i want to change to say Mage do i first need to do all blue quest given by the pugilist guild b4 i can change?
you need to do the lvl 10 one
And hav reached a certain point in the msq
sorry but how do i tell if its a level 10 one just by what level the quest is?
yep
On Leviathan (extreme) how do you know he's gonna wipe after the first dash or don't do it and dash twice ?

On extreme his dive pattern is always the same for his ultimate
He does a dive long-ways across the arena and then the ultimate
So after the first Head/Tail phase. He's gonna dash once and if it's the long way we activate the shield ?
Only after the spumes are dead
ok so ble level 10 thank you
SPumes ?
The yellow orbs enemies that drain the boat
Level 61
i can change specialist's whenever i want right?
you got the scrips for it?
ye
3 times per week
3 times a week iirc
sdhgjbadsg, thanks
That's not scheduled maintenance.
And the store seems to be working fine for me as well.
Are you trying to access it through your phone?

Yes, you can go be a Thaumaturge now if you want.
Hello I'm new here. Like literally. Haven't even make an account, planning to sign up but can someone please tell me the basics first?
!faq newplayertips
The game will break most of the basics down for you too
Also, can we do cross server? I'm from asia but my friends are from the UK. Best to just choose server in the UK based? 
Yeah, the game will basically assume you've never played a video game before in your life.
There is no way to make permanent mistake in XIV, if that's what you are worried about
XD
Yes, you can choose whatever datacenter you want, regardless of your service account region.
You'll just have higher ping.
Check which EU data center (server cluster) they are on, Chaos or Light
Server in the same cluster can play with each other
So if your buddies are in Light, you can play in any Light server and you will be able to play with them
Wait I just realized, chocobos don't grow larger with level, but are just proportional to the size/height of your character isn't it?
yes
Yeah
I kept wondering why mine looked smaller than the rest
its based on character race
hmm can i be a mage?
i think the snowman mount is height based
You can be everything
If you want to, yeah
Where is the starting quest?
Thaumatugre guild
West of uldah
"Mage" is a bit... broad in this game.
thats black mage
You've got Black Mage (Thaumaturge), which is your traditional stand and cast big magic damage.
White Mage (Conjurer), which is a healer.
Arcanists are book nerds
this is the only quest i can see
Red Mage, which is a combination of mostly casting spells, and then bursting a big melee combo. Also flipping all around.
Scholar (Healer) and Summoner (DPS) both came from Arcanist
Arcanist is in limsa
Conjurer is in Gridania
Blues can pull off real dumb garbage if they feel like it
Uldah, Limsa, and Gridania are the three starting cities for XIV, your starting city is based on your starting class, as the guild is located in that city. In level 15
you will visit the other two cities
and as someome mentioned u can change 3 times a week
I'm assuming you want to be the kind of mage that's a turret caster, Black Mage, so you start off as Thaumaturge for that, and become a Black Mage at level 30.
I see alright thank you
No
is u have the scrolls
You can swap freely
oh
That's something else entirely
sorry
That's for crafter specialist
oh sorry
Class changes are completely free as many times as you want, whenever you want.
The scroll thing is for crafting specializations. Don’t need to worry about it for now.
Not exactly whenever
That’s a lv 55+ crafter thing,
You cannot swap during combat or in dungeon
Aura is correct in that there is no quota for swapping
I think I swapped between jobs no less than 15 times today alone.
ill brb
In one session, I can swap combat jobs for different roulette, then I swap to Miner/botanist to mine legendary, craft new gear with 3-4 crafters, then swap combats jobs again to update them with new gear
Can the healer do damage as well?
yes
yes please do
you need to pick which caster you want to be
from thaumaturge to arcanist
or a healer
you'll get to the point where you do more dps than healing in some situations
Enemy die faster = less healing done
Everyone can do damage. Healers won't necessarily be as big damage as a dps class, but they can still do some pretty respectable work.
Healer and tank damage can easily add up to another pure DPS
I ran a dungeon today as WHM (healer) and barely did any healing.
so i may need to go to Gridania if i want the one i like the sound of Conjure
White Mage? The healer?
You will go to gridania
Yes.
Once you reach lvl 15 
The MSQ will take you to all three main cities.
Don’t forget to attune to aetherytes
Character/Class level and MSQ level are independent of one another.
Just to set the record straight, while healers are encouraged to do Dps, take note that your primary goal is still keeping people alive. At low level, you have less healing spells at your disposal, so you want to be more attentive to party member
^
is the symbol for your story
On the top left of your screen
You should see a red
with foot prints in it
So your MSQ is level 12
Just go along with that until it takes you to other cities.
Take note that almost everything is gated behind your
progress
When you reach Gridania, you'll be able to pick up "So You Want to Be a Conjurer" 
Thank you
Oh, remember to save your current gear as Gear set
Gear set is how you quickly swap between classes
👌
Can't wait for my mont
Uh... just a note. Robes like that are usually... spellcaster gear (DoM). Not physical damage gear (DoW)
im low rr in bozja. is there a benefit to being in a party?
Yes
Faster clears, pocket healer/tank, raises.
More likely to gold fates
And better score in the FATEs.
There is no benefit as well to RR other than the logos actions
so you're doing the same damage as them
there's a way to "leave" the new game+?
from the same menu iirc
Who do I speak to to increase mount speed? I thought it was your grand company headquarters but not seeing the option. Rank is 2nd lieutenant
1st star is through MSQ
Oh so if I wanted to by the riding maps it wouldn’t affect flying?
doesnt it just increase automatically from doing msq? or do i not have max mount speed everywhere..
Flying is automatically the fastest speed
flying is already the fastest speed
Ahhh ok
Which roulettes tend to earn more gil?
riding maps are only ground speed
Tysm 🙂
Riding maps are kinda useless now, imo
There's 2 ground speed ranks, one from story the other you buy
Again, its useless cause flying
its under travel > mount speed
Thank you guys 🙂
Maps for ARR were incredibly useful until last august
I’m not gonna bother haha
i have a two parter involved question, i never play dps in dungeons and im a beginner tank. ive had dps rip aggro off me while im pulling, am i doing something wrong or are the dps doing something wrong?
also when you play dps in dungeons.. what do you do while the tank is pulling? bard has dots but like dragoon doesnt
was your tank stance on
yeah it was on, this doesnt happen frequently
and depends what level the dungeon is
Is your gear shit?
no im nto spamming aoe like as im running forward pulling, is that what im doing wrong?
Is there a command to turn your character 180 degrees?
spam aoe
Facepulling isn't the way
Hit mobs with at least 2 aoes to secure aggro as you pull
Check the secondink
Hey, any info about some free days to play during holidays or soon?
oh thank you thats what iwas looking for
unlikely for a while Chiryuu
they just had a free day campaign i think a month ago
Yeah i logged during it
but I couldnt play cuz stuff 😄
and now I'm waiting for another chance 😦
!faq level milestones
sad :(... maybe one day I will be able to complete the story from realm reborn 😄
#kupo-bot-spam
What are you looking for wolfy?
I'm still a little angry that everyone else can play for free and I can't because I bought the game 😦
then you could have just played on the free trial
Yeah.... I could, if only I haven't bougth it like 1 year ago 😄
make another account?
thats subscription games for you
Free Trial is meant for enticing people into paying subscription, by imposing social and inventory limitations
Won't work for me, I'm at 2.3
they mean make a completely different account for the free trial with a different email
Yup I know, they want money :D, and I don't blame them for that 😄
yeah
yeah true u need to level again
but could always try something new and keep the account for trial
Yup, as I said, it won't work for me, I'm not really person that likes to repeat same story, especially since it took me like 200 hours to get where I am right now
fair
I mean I would even pay subscription... but I don't have much time to play and I would probably need around one year to complete the story :D... Quite heavy price to just complete the story
@little swift how did you do this nickname :O?

I love how u can just be what you want when u want

I found a mini-game side quest where you shoot blow dart at targets. Will there be other quests using same mechanics, or is it like a one-time gimmick?
there's more
oh nice
that's a different thing
beast tribes have them too
ananta, namzu, pixies off the top of my head. they are rotating dailies so you see them semi-often if you do their quests.
what are the conditions to be picked for a duel in bozja
Main one is that you don't get any vuln stacks or die.
You'll be put into the pool from there and then just hope you get picked
what do you get for winning them?
sacks and achieves?
Anyone know the calculation for adventurer in need?
99 lockboxes, mettle, and a zonewide buff
