it only shows the various roles filled when you're queuing specifically for an instance, if you're queuing for a roulette it just shows that screen

obsidian patio
#

Oh then it’s because you’re in a party

Currently started red mage and I've been practicing. I completely understansd the fundamentals of the job but every opener I've seen looking around just feels clunky. Can i just play without forcing a specific opener

obsidian patio
#

If you can’t get the pre-opener time to do VerAero+VerThunder then just follow your priority list

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok thanks 👍. Doing a long cast just feels awful 😂

plain python
#

can housing bed function like the one in the inn? Or only decoration?

#

like, you can log out and see animation

remote lintel
#

you cant interact with them but if you log out/in at your house then you do see the animation iirc @plain python

obsidian patio
#

Nope, only the inn bed does that animation

remote lintel
#

damn

#

So I cancelled my former FF14 account but when I launch the game, my old Square Enix ID is still there when I try to login and I can’t change it to login into my new account, any idea why? Any help would be appreciated.

remote lintel
#

you cant highlight and delete it?

iron furnace
#

Nope, I’m on PS4

obsidian patio
#

Untick the box that saves your password

left lantern
#

Hey im trying to unlock my Retainer but the quest is not there im looking on YT and it should be here

iron furnace
#

I tried that and it still won’t work.

remote lintel
#

@left lantern did you talk to a retainer vocate at the marketplace

hidden lotus
remote lintel
#

crit is capped

#

oh

obsidian patio
#

Grade 6/8 can’t go past the first overmeld

hidden lotus
#

Definitely not capped on crit, but I got the same message there

#

Ohh right..

obsidian patio
#

Use grade 7

hidden lotus
#

Gotcha mkay, thanks!

left lantern
remote lintel
#

but did you talk to them'

#

and did they say youre eligible

obsidian patio
#

No need for a quest to get retainers

#

Besides story

remote lintel
#

@iron furnace you could try uninstalling/reinstalling but that seems like a last resort

iron furnace
#

I’ve done that before as well, and it stayed the same💀

remote lintel
#

you made a new mog station account right

iron furnace
#

Yep

remote lintel
#

you may need to contact support and tell them to unlink your old account from your ps4?

iron furnace
#

Hm, alright I’ll try that for now, thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

this is a pretty general question, but how do i gear up at 80? i dont wanna spend on exarchic gear cause it's really expensive but i find myself barely hitting the cap for the lv 80 dgs as well

remote lintel
#

!faq gearguide

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

Do roulettes that give Allegory and Revelation, along with spamming level 80 dungeons and the Eden/YorHa raids for gear

remote lintel
#

deepshadow is pretty easy to get

#

as a stepping stone

#

and neo ish prices might be cheap

obsidian patio
#

Neo-Ishgardian gear might be super cheap for your server, so buying a piece or two will speed things up

#

Especially for the weapon

patent citrus
#

if it's a free trial account, no retainer allowed

leaden ginkgo
#

alright thanks for the advice

worn bone
#

fastest way to go from lvl 30 to 50? just started machinist

remote lintel
#

beast tribe, roulettes, highest lvl dungeon

wintry chasm
#

could do palace of the dead too, farming floors 51-60 if you can

#

but that gets boring fast

worn bone
#

what is beast tribe and palace of the dead?

remote lintel
#

beast tribes are daily quests although the ARR one are for like lvl 40+

slate arrow
#

Beast Tribes: Reputation grinds, basically, also backstory. Can do up to 12 a day

remote lintel
#

theyre quick and give good exp

#

palace of the dead is a deep dungeon

slate arrow
#

Palace of the Dead: A roguelite dungeon crawler where you can go down up to 200 floors

#

you can "save" every 10 floors, but it's most well known use is for leveling DPS on floors 51-60 since you can make a new save right there

leaden ginkgo
#

Looking for a mentor, im brand new to the game, any help is appreciated, thanks 🙂

remote lintel
#

join the novice network

leaden ginkgo
#

oh where can i find it?

remote lintel
#

although if youre looking for the exp boost its not great

#

you need to be invited by a mentor

#

in game

jade quartz
#

Ask any questions you like in here

leaden ginkgo
#

is that like a guild or something?

remote lintel
#

its a chat channel

leaden ginkgo
#

i just installed the game today

jade quartz
#

A personal helper who’ll specifically mentor you isn’t really a realistic prospect

worn bone
#

okay thanks, got a lot of grinding to do playdead

jade quartz
#

People aren’t going to be up for that

obsidian patio
#

Novice network is more of a global chat channel ingame

remote lintel
#

and yeah you can just ask questions here

leaden ginkgo
#

alright, thanks

remote lintel
#

youll probably get a faster response

#

and a less memey one

jade quartz
#

Novice Network ingame can be

#

Not great

leaden ginkgo
#

another game i used to play had a mentor aspect to it where mentors are rewarded when the apprentice climbs in levels

#

and the apprentice gets advice

remote lintel
#

thats not really a thing here

#

its fine to ask any questions here

leaden ginkgo
#

alright, im level 3 now, where can i find more abilities? i currently only have one ability attached to my 1 key

remote lintel
#

you get them as you level and do your class quests

jade quartz
#

Do your class quests

leaden ginkgo
#

are they automatically added to the hotbar?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

yes

jade quartz
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

alright, thank you

wintry chasm
#

But yeah you can't just "get" more skills really

obsidian patio
#

Yep, but you can add them beforehand in the action menu

wintry chasm
#

It's all from leveling and doing your class quests

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha, ty

worn bone
#

you can rearrange the hotbar and add other random things from the actions and traits menu

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a place i can find other new people to play with?

remote lintel
#

you can join a free company (aka guild)

#

but for dungeons and stuff youre automatically matchmade

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha

#

thanks again.

worn bone
#

you'll probably randomly get invites to a free company while you play too

jade quartz
#

Novice network, once again

#

All new players are eligible to join novice network.

leaden ginkgo
#

where can i find a mentor to invite me to that network? 😮

remote lintel
#

which city did you start in?

obsidian patio
#

Mentors are marked with the mentor icon by their name. Most people hang out in the market area or near the big Aetheryte (the blue crystals) of the main cities

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you. i think i started in Gridania?

jade quartz
#

Ask around in a major city for an invite.

worn bone
#

make sure your chat is set to shout and just try to ask for one in one of the main cities

leaden ginkgo
#

alright, thanks again guys

jade quartz
#

Free trial players cannot use shout

worn bone
#

oop

remote lintel
#

stand by the big aetheryte and if youre not on free trial use /shout

worn bone
#

nvm

remote lintel
#

otherwise just use /say

leaden ginkgo
#

alright

hollow steeple
#

hello, im new -- do i need to do all the binding coils of bahamut to progress to heavensward?
i just completed the labyrinth
but it is still locked 😦

silver ruin
wintry chasm
#

^

#

Just need to do the 24-man raid stuff

hollow steeple
#

thats odd. i just finished it, but it is still locked

#

the labyrinth of the ancients is the name of the raid. are there more i need to pickup?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

The Crystal Tower raid questline is 3 fights

#

Labyrinth is the first one

#

Go back to Mor Dhona and keep doing that questline

hollow steeple
#

i see.

gloomy ice
#

You want to keep following that chain until you complete the quest named The Light of Hope.

wintry chasm
#

like, you can't just leave that plot unfinished lol

hollow steeple
#

i dont see a quest line though

#

ah wait

#

i probably have it turned off lol

#

yep im dumb

#

cool

#

thank you!

finite jacinth
#

well guys, this game keeps giving me fits. I'm such a dumbass. I bought the pc edition of stormbringers when my original account the base and other xpacs are for steam. :S So I can either just take the hit and walk away or buy the starter edition/complete edition. Since I already owe shadowbringers does it come with the other xpacs? I know if you pre-order the game it did.

wintry chasm
#

So

#

You have the game on Steam, you got the base game and I assume the expansions up to Stormblood and you tried to buy Shadowbringers but you bought the non-steam version of Shadowbringers?

#

I'm a little confused since idk why you want to buy the base game / complete edition when you could just buy Shadowbringers for Steam

#

but to answer your question yes Shadowbringers comes with all previous expansions

finite jacinth
#

Yes, Cali you got it

#

But I still need base game right?

wintry chasm
#

You said you own the game

finite jacinth
#

It's a whole thing cali

wintry chasm
#

Unless you mean you own the free trial

wintry chasm
finite jacinth
#

the base game and xpacs are steam. Stormbringers was bought for pc

wintry chasm
#

So you already own the base game

finite jacinth
#

For steam, not for pc

leaden ginkgo
#

Can someone help me with Square Enix's website?

#

whats a fellowship?

wintry chasm
#

So....

#

You want to just completely abandon your steam account?

#

and go non-steam?

#

using your non-steam shadowbringers purchase?

finite jacinth
#

I have to abandon my steam account because stormbringers won't active since it's not steam, it's pc

wintry chasm
#

you don't have to

finite jacinth
#

activate

wintry chasm
#

You could just buy Shadowbringers on Steam and keep using your account

leaden ginkgo
#

i activated it through steam

#

i bought it on steam and activated it on the website today

wintry chasm
#

If you want to go non-steam you'd need the starter edition too but I honestly cannot really fathom why you'd want to abandon your current account

finite jacinth
#

I'm the guy earlier who had the game in korea. believe it or not I can't buy the game here.

#

on steam

leaden ginkgo
wintry chasm
#

Hm weird

finite jacinth
#

totally, it's a mess cali

wintry chasm
#

Well I'm not well versed on XIV in Korea so sure Wiseau I'll believe you know what you're doing lol

#

But yeah since you have ShB on non-steam right now

leaden ginkgo
#

It sounds like kind of the same problem. Except from the SE website

wintry chasm
#

just get the starter edition and you're good

wintry chasm
#

Did you own the base game on PC?

leaden ginkgo
#

no but I thought that came in the collectors edition

finite jacinth
#

for steam yes

wintry chasm
#

No Callin it doesn't

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh ok

wintry chasm
#

complete edition has everything

#

collector's edition is just that expansion + some in game goodies

finite jacinth
#

When I try to start my steam edition it just gives me a connection error

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you so much man that sucks I totally had no clue

wintry chasm
#

So yeah just buying the base game on PC and putting that in FIRST and THEN this code you were trying to use

#

It should work fine

finite jacinth
#

which I figure is due my steam store being in korea. So I either have to get tech support to switch my steam account back to US

wintry chasm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I don't really know much about Korea sorry

finite jacinth
#

and then figure out what to do about SB being for pc and not steam, get starter kit and SB or just say screw it and cry lol

#

lol lovely country but their FF XIV policy sucks lol

wintry chasm
#

and SB or just say screw it and cry lol
You already own ShB though right?

#

I thought you bought it already

finite jacinth
#

yes, my dumb butt bought stormbringers for pc, and the us versions of base and other xpacs for steam

wintry chasm
#

Jesus Christ

finite jacinth
#

but Korea's steam for FF XIV, when I use the launcher, just gives me connection errors. I have to use a vpn

#

I KOW, right?

#

Know

wintry chasm
#

I mean

#

Korea has it's own servers no?

finite jacinth
#

Yes, that's my best guess, and for whatever reason they don't want to play with everyone else

slate arrow
#

I don't know if FFXIV Steam Korea gives global or KR codes

#

I'd assume the latter but like

spare plinth
#

Did red mage had any job changes from sb to shb, like any skills in sb that disappeared in shb?

obsidian patio
#

Korea basically runs a unique client to deal with any needed censorship and to use their form of subscription

finite jacinth
#

the store page for FF XIV doesn't link to any xpac

#

on steam

obsidian patio
#

Which is done by the minute/hour

finite jacinth
#

yes, pc bangs are huge here

slate arrow
#

@spare plinth not really, besides the changes to Scatter/Impact And making Holy and Flare replace the long casts

obsidian patio
#

Tether was removed since it was a pretty useless AoE bind

slate arrow
#

No skills were outright removed

#

oh well except tether aye

finite jacinth
#

So the way I used to play is use a vpn to connect to us, but that changed when I changed my steam store from US to Korea. So I fudged myself up doing that

#

Because my FF XIV game was on steam. So my best guess is that is why the launcher can't connect online

spare plinth
#

Sometimes when I click on mouse to use a skill, sometimes I accidentally hold onto the skill like I’m moving it or delete it by accident. Would it be easier if I adjusted the key binding?

#

I’m casual so that’s why I’m wondering

hasty musk
#

Lock your hotbar

finite jacinth
#

lol thanks for the help guys. It's a crazy issue. But I think I fudged myself a couple ways here

wintry chasm
leaden ginkgo
wintry chasm
#

Don't bother

#

since you already own Shadowbringers just get the starter edition

#

cheaper

leaden ginkgo
#

Its going to have all the DLC still?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah because Shadowbringers includes all previous DLCs

leaden ginkgo
#

You are literally the best

leaden ginkgo
wintry chasm
#

Yes!

finite jacinth
#

That's what I'm doing too, GL Callin!

leaden ginkgo
#

so once i get that code it should let me put the other shadowbringers code in?

wintry chasm
#

Put the starter edition code in first

#

but yes

finite jacinth
#

Just make sure you get the right version! Steam/PC/Mac/ or ps4

leaden ginkgo
#

GL Wiseau!

wintry chasm
#

Wiseau is right though

leaden ginkgo
#

im going to give this a shot

wintry chasm
#

Make sure it's the right platform

#

and region I guess

leaden ginkgo
#

yea lol ive been pretty crucial with what platform

finite jacinth
#

lol yeah, don't be a wiseau. 😢

patent citrus
#

so you play from SK but wanted to play with the international client? 🤔

#

is this what you intended to do?

finite jacinth
#

Yeah, that seems like my best option if I want to play

#

or get corona from a pc bang

#

pc bangs? I think most are closed. They don't want more than 5 people gathering at a time in seoul

#

But maybe some are open illegally

slate arrow
finite jacinth
#

sorry.

leaden ginkgo
#

well I just bought it and i went to activate my key and instead it said 400 bad request..

#

NVM! I got it im sure

#

What I did was activate Starter Edition First, then Shadowbringers. Though that was mentioned above.

sea fishing is the fastest way to level up fishing?

That + Leves in between or Ishgard

jade condor
#

anyone able to clarify something for me?

im close to hitting lvl 50 but due to preferred world, I'm only at the level 25 MSQ at the moment. When I hit 50, do i need to do all the level 50 MSQ stuff from the patches before i move on to heavensward? I feel like it may just continue me being overlevelled for everything, which i'm worried about. cheers!

can you queue for the chimera trial?

#

It is under trial, not dungeon

golden phoenix
#

i know, just looked again and I don't have it. some said that you have to have 8 players in a certain area to fight the chimera

wintry chasm
#

some said that you have to have 8 players in a certain area to fight the chimera
You don't

#

It's an 8-man trial fight but like, you don't need to bring them all in an area

It's just like any other trial

does Aegis Shrimp have a gathering req?

gleaming sparrow
#

is there a way to get notifications when someone undercuts listings on MB? i'm trying to sell some stuff on mb and theres the same 3 retainers who seem to undercut by 1 gil after less than a minute throughout the entire day or night

static grotto
#

my guess bots, and if my experience in other MMOs tell me anything, no chance to compete as they can undercut all day long

gleaming sparrow
#

hyunter seems like it

#

no way to sell this stuff until they run out then i suppose

Will I get the 50 tokens of revelations from wondrous tails 1 line bonus if I'm capped at 450/450 for this week ?

obsidian patio
#

No

#

The weekly tomestone cap is absolute

vivid bobcat
#

thanks 🙂

obsidian patio
#

What you can do is wait for next week to happen and then turn in the book for an immediate 50

#

As WT books last for 2 weeks

warped nest
#

I can swear that I saw 400/450

finite jacinth
#

Hey guys you were so helpful about my issue I wanted to say thanks. Also I think I figured the issue. Turns out I can switch steam store from KR to US when in the cart. So I can access my original account. Doesn't change the fact I bought the wrong version of Shadowbringers and may not be able to get a refund for it, but at least I have access to that original account and hopefully will be able to play it later.

obsidian patio
finite jacinth
#

The lesson? Make sure when buying an xpac that you match to the correct version. Steam/PC difference screwed me here.

#

Hi, I just bought a mount, when will it arrive in game?concentrate

steep heron
#

Could take 30 mins could take a few hours. No one knows. If it's an account wide mount they usually take longer.

jade quartz
#

Takes time to arrive via Mog mail, account wide items take longer

#

Shouldn’t be hours.

#

You can speed up the process by going to a delivery moogle and clicking the “Reward delivery request” button

#

At the top of the mail window

can I alternate sb and shb msq between two jobs and still get enough xp to keep accepting them

obsidian patio
#

Shadowbringers experience isn’t as plentiful so depending on the level you enter as you may need to supplement with extra dungeons/roulettes

verbal rune
#

I already have that

#

That's the only one for exp?

steep heron
#

Yeah. The earrings went to higher levels but they are pre-order bonuses

leaden ginkgo
#

i just finished the base game story and is lvl 50 do i buy the iron work gear with the tome?

steep heron
#

Yes Ironworks is the best bang for buck at that level.

is there any kind of a map discord?

#

its getting hard to find map parties

mint ferry
#

If I have Shadowbringers from the complete edition, is there like an "upgrade" to the collectors edition or do I have to buy the whole collectors edition to get those items?

steep heron
#

You can upgrade to collectors editions at a later date

#

It sould be an option when you log into mog station

mint ferry
#

oh gotcha

#

how much is it, if you know off the top of your head?

frank wigeon
#

hey how can i have access to my 1 sign in account that has 2 service accounts on it? it only signs in to 1 of them and there are no options for the 2nd one

wintry chasm
#

So

#

Log into the game normally

#

and then when you go the main menu afaik there is no easy button to just swap service accounts

#

but the way I do it is press "data center" and then just pick another one

#

and then it asks you what service account you want to pick

#

and then you can swap back to the original data center if you want @frank wigeon

frank wigeon
#

ohh wow i just did that and it worked

#

thank you @wintry chasm

Macro with /countdown 20

Hey! I am level 7 , Arcanist (trial) and i find the gameplay and the combat very boring. Will it get better afterwards? I'm interested mostly in leveling experience (story etc). Also i feel the questing/ map ui a bit overwhelming. I can't understand which quests i have to do. And i have stuck in "Dressed to Call", it requires items that are level 5, while all of my gear are level 1. How can i grind/ buy cheaply level 5 gear?

obsidian patio
#

Early sidequests will give you gear and Gil to help with that quest. The merchant right by the person that wants you to wear level 5 gear sells gear that you can use to meet the requirement

#

As for the bit about Arcanist, that’s mostly about the rotation flow for them in the early levels and the slow trickle of skills that change your rotation.

#

For quests/map, you can pin/hide specific quests in the journal by clicking the square by the quest name. A yellow/full square pins it to the top of your quest UI, while a 🚫 hides it in the quest UI.

lavish vortex
#

@jovial tide thanks!

wide kayak
#

Thank you. Which quests are the main? There are differences in explanation marks. Some having a cross, some other, a flame etc.. Also are indeed Arcanists the most boring class at early levels?

proud willow
#

In the single digit levels, Arcanist is probably the most interesting class

#

as you have two spells that both do something, as well as a pet

#

the game starts off extremely basic and grows gradually more complex

tawny quest
#

msq @wide kayak

#

Main quests have this symbol

wide kayak
#

Oh.. and the ones with cross?

tawny quest
wide kayak
#

Yes

tawny quest
#

Those ones unlock something, not as important as msq but more important than sidequest these ones

proud willow
#

Class quests also use the bluequest icon and those are very important

#

because some of them unlock new abilities

tawny quest
#

Yeah the importance varies, like job quests you want to do right away, the quests to unlock your chocobo mount too, probably some other stuff I’m forgetting

wide kayak
#

nice. Also what about the hexagon purple ones ? and what about the ones that have a 'sideways shield'? It just means you need to get to other place to complete them?

obsidian patio
#

Those are fates, which are basically randomly spawning events that you can complete for a bit of experience and Gil

Thank you

ok starting the game, does my data center matter much? I'm EU so its between chaos or light

i just hit 70 on dancer, when should i use technical step? should it be used together with devilment?

agile laurel
#

if we're being technical (lmao)

#

you should start the fight with standard step (but prep it early, and wait until it nearly expires to use Finish)

#

then immediately use tech step and do the actions

jade lava
#

i've bought the steam version of this game, can i uninstall my original ft launcher as the steam one downloaded it seperately?

agile laurel
#

then flourish, use flourishing windmill, use devilment, and go off

#

if you do all that correctly, you should then be able to use tech, standard, flourish and devil on CD forever

If an npc offers a quest, but you don't want to take the quest, how can you access their other functions?

#

should be a dropdown menu in that instance

with selections of 'quest' and 'other functions'

when you click them

what keybinds do you all use~? i got myself a razer naga for christmas, but i cant decide how i wanna set it up!! some of my friends say that they use it for almost all their keybinds, but i cant find a setup that feels comfortable as like, a good middle ground for all my jobs.

I use no mouse binds if that was your question

#

Let's say you buy lvl 70 poetics armor and you hit lvl 80. What do people usually do with the armor afterwards? Discard it, sell it or are there different uses?

rigid dust
#

if i have a job in the same class close to 70, i keep it or keep it for retainers. if i dont need it for either, then i'll save it for glam if its cute or just desynth it c:

patent citrus
#

desynth usually.. or just hand in for GC...

#

but lv 50/60/70 usually valuable

#

I mean if you are planning to level another alt that shares the gear.. you don't have to spend another 3.5k++ poetics to rebuy them

Heya, is there someone in Odin EU that could invite me and my friend to a party? We're still trials and would love to do some dungeons together 🙂

Sorry if it's the wrong channel

raw granite
#

Is there a particular reason to do the craft/havest job quests besides xp gain ?

faint flare
#

Skills

raw granite
#

what's that ?

faint flare
#

Skills and abilities are locked behind your job quests

#

Especially important ones like Manipulation at 65

#

For crafters

worthy basin
#

skills, the important skill (manipulation) is locked unless you do the job quests

agile laurel
#

actions are locked behind job quests for crafters same as they are for combat jobs

raw granite
#

OK I see

agile laurel
#

just less frequently

raw granite
#

Completely unrelated : is there a way to see a mount's speed ? I'm not feeling much faster with the behemoth

faint flare
#

They're all the same speed

raw granite
#

okay !

faint flare
#

Speed is determined by your area

raw granite
#

wat

faint flare
#

Travel > Mount speed

#

Its only ground speed affected by speed increases as flying is the max speed

sturdy bone
#

are the crafting classes benefits useless/locked in trial version?
New player. Stumbled upon blacksmith guild quest and having fun playing that minigame..

agile laurel
#

they're useful as far as heavensward

#

no reason you cannot make use of them entirely until then

faint flare
#

You can still repair your own gear

agile laurel
#

you're only a bit kneecapped by not being able to use the market board, which is a frequent need of/one of the main reasons to level crafters

sturdy bone
#

Ok, so are there high tier gear that can only be crafted by smiths within the Trial version?

agile laurel
#

as far as level 60

#

yep

#

well, ofc anyone can make them, your gear progress just stops at 60

faint flare
#

And its mostly outdate but

agile laurel
#

there's no artificial stopper on it due to it being 'trial' besides the lack of access to Stormblood and Shadowbringers

#

and no access to player trading

sturdy bone
#

Thank you

agile laurel
#

so if you want to craft and gather all the stuff you can make from basegame and heavensward, nothing stopping you

raw granite
#

why do you have like a particle flourish when you craft or gather sometimes ?

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)

agile laurel
tropic frigate
#

If that's enough to get you to report someone, deary me, I'd imagine people having a thicker skin

twilit arch
#

i mean technically, you can report anyone for a any reason

#

but whether the GMs actually do something with that report is an entirely different matter

warm snow
#

Not a day goes by without me reporting someone

#

I like uldah so I get rmt spam shouts all the goddamn time

wet cradle
#

and I god damn hope they will get a ban

twilit arch
#

and simply saying "you suck" probably won't get a gm on you, worst case imo they'll probably have a chat with you

agile laurel
#

that's... severe. they should just have a GM ask them to chill

agile laurel
#

it's why many people learn to walk on eggshells a bit

twilit arch
#

people also like to overstate the gms being that bad

agile laurel
#

Oh yeah. I'm not saying they'll ban you permanently for asking someone to maybe not spam cure 1 the whole dungeon

#

like some do

twilit arch
#

but like i said, you can be reported for anything but whether the GMs do something about it is a different matter entirely

agile laurel
#

i'm just saying they have a relatively high level of enforcement of what is deemed as toxic behavior compared to other games

#

but this is beside the original question

#

short answer, sure you can report someone, but nobody can give you any guarantee what would actually come of it

half kraken
#

If I were to world transfer to jp, is there any difference between choosing tonberry and kujata?

gritty oracle
#

Tonberry is the biggest English speaking hub iirc

#

Also lots of very hardcore raiders

twilit arch
#

kujata is basically the overflow server for tonberry since tonberry is usually either Congested status or temporarily character locked if its standard so making a character on it can be kind of hard

gritty oracle
#

Speaking of which, did Tate's group get world first in E12S? What DC/server are they on?

twilit arch
#

no, TPS was world first

#

they're on Aether

if my main is lv60, and my alt-class is lv59 80%, doing a routtle will give alt-class exessive exp to lv60. Will the excessive exp I receive still count for armony exp?

@plain python all of the xp you get will go to the job you queued as. so the extra exp would just put you closer to level 61 c:

so if i use bane, it will essentially refresh the DoT timers back to max?

trade poetic tome for shroud soil and grow shard (about 100/day I hear), vs for thanalan soil to sell, which do you think more profitable? 😮

open rivet

#

Yes

#

The only real difference between Gold and Platinum is the way the wedding attire looks (also an extra set), pricing and more options for the venue

open rivet
#

perfect, thanks <3

open ember
#

The Gold plan will get you Most of what you need

#

Platinum is just. Being Extra

#

which is never a bad thing

plain python
#

you need to do the whole ceremony to get the outfit and gitf?

open ember
#

All plans will get you the outfit

#

But the Free one is just white

raw granite
#

If I buy the game and stop getting the monthly sub at some point, will I still be able to play under level 60 or will it lock me out of the game ?

open ember
#

No

#

You will still be able to play

plain python
#

I mean I can just buy a plan and it gives me everything without doing ceremony? Or I have to progress through the wedding?

open ember
#

No matter the level

raw granite
#

What

#

Aren't you supposed to pay every month to keep playing ?

open ember
#

Yes

#

But it doesnt lock you out under lv60

#

You just have to pay monthly to access the game

raw granite
#

No, I mean if I stop paying the subscription

faint flare
#

You literally cant log in if you dont pay yhe sub

open ember
#

Yeah

faint flare
#

Regardless of level

raw granite
#

Oh okay

open ember
#

No sub payment = can't log in

raw granite
#

Well that kinda sucks

open ember
#

It is an MMO on a subscription based model so

faint flare
#

Its a trial

#

Not free to play

#

Big difference

open ember
#

And if you buy Plat & Gold plans you can't get the mount until after the ceremony is over

#

Or the minions

thorn totem
#

Whats the best way to get from 50-60? I heard ppl saying just farm floor 51-60 in POTD but others say if you can, do 51-100

twilit arch
#

no point in doing 61-100

#

generally not worth the time/effort and most people don't bother doing those floors

open ember
#

Just do dunegon with runs for 50-60

thorn totem
#

Ah noted

#

Ty!

plain python
#

so it is $20 per 3 outfit set + 2 minion without the ceremony? Sound... good 🤔

open ember
#

No you need the ceremony for the minions

#

Because the guests get that after

#

And the hosts do not get the minions

raw granite
#

Is there any reason not to extract equipments ?

twilit karma
#

Nope, extracting is free materia. Once done it just resets bond to 1% and you can start the process over and get more next time it reaches 100%

twilit arch
#

only reason i wouldnt bother with it is if you're on free trial

twilit karma
#

It used to destroy the item, but not anymore

twilit arch
#

cos then you're just filling your inventory with low level materia you can't really do much with

plain python
#

well, having low-level materia can be helpful for Zodiac weapon if you keep them around 😄

torpid spoke
#

low lvl materia are at least free gil, which is helpful at times

twilit arch
#

they don't vendor for much, and you can easily hit the gil cap on trial without them

#

so thats why i said you can't really do much with them as a trial user, since you don't have access to marketboard and doing zodiac as a trial user is pretty painful

raw granite
#

Also useful for these materia crafting job classes

torpid spoke
#

i've been vendoring extra materia since I keep using my gil on stuff >.> a lot.

twilit arch

there's only two. Answers and Answers- Reprise

#

you're essentially "breaking" the first macro with the second one

torpid spoke
#

wha

twilit arch
#

one of the reasons why macros are not recommended for combat skills is because they are so easily broken/messed up by pretty much doing anything else when they're going off

#

so by having a second empty macro, you effectively cancel the first because of how they work

leaden ginkgo

I found four of them.

Macros aren't recommended at ALL

generally they are QoL type macros for ground aoes, or to make certain ogcd targeted skills easier

twilit arch
#

for raise macros personally don't find them helpful, but they are far from the worst things to macro.
for tank invuls, animation delay plus macro delay means it really not ideal to macro it

torpid spoke
#

tbh I feel like if FFXIV went with WoW's macro implementation it might be easier to balance around...add queuing but make it one on-GCD action per macro, basically

So /ac holmgang <me> is an acceptable macro

uhh, i do have some questions like

and GW2 isnt a subscription game

leaden ginkgo

yeah, its my main problem with this game, I'm not sure if its worth getting into it just because of the subscription

faint flare

You can resub whenever

so if you can't pay for new content you can't get into it, unlike FFXIV where if you buy the game, you keep paying or you dont play

almost, not completely.

I'm on Argentina and US dollars are kinda pricy so even if i can resub or whatever, it wouldnt be often so that would kinda suck

again i have never played a final fantasy game so im totally new to all of this

there's quite a few parts you cannot touch unfortunately

if I get the jpn version of the artbooks can I still use the minion codes?

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I change the display area on ps4 ? All the guides im seeing seem to be outdated

plain python

rank 20 chocobo can learn all skills?

fresh isle
#

Hello
Should I buy the game on Steam or SE?
for now I prefer steam as I have most of my games there
not sure if there is some big difference tho

faint flare
#

Steam permanently locks you to it, thus meaning you cant use sales SE or other retails have

#

Which is the main downside

fresh isle
#

basically relying on steam sale
and no physical, versions

plain python
#

can I grow thannavian onion indoor?

#

or every seed is growable indoor and don't require outdoor soil?

fair blaze
#

Which class usually gets the coolest looking gear?

karmic ferry
#

is there a eden savage fc for beginner ?

spiral echo
#

which disciple of hand job makes the armor for samurai?

green grail
#

could be any of them except for alc/cul really

#

one patch there's gonna be wooden accesories, cloth chestpiece with leather pants, next patch is gonna have iron armor and goldsmith accesories, gotta level everything really

manic flare
#

how do people in asia outside of japan play FFXIV, ie korea, china, taiwan, singapore, etc?

green grail
#

plus for crafting itself, and not just repairing, most crafts require sub-crafts from other crafter jobs so you end up needing them all to be able to use even one self-sufficiently

manic flare
#

what servers do they use

green grail
#

there's korean and chinese exclusive datacenters and servers detached from the rest of the world, and they're a couple patches behind due to localization

#

not sure if there's separate ones specifically for taiwan/singapore/etc

manic flare
#

but someone in those countries would be able to use the main servers if they wanted to, no?

green grail
#

no clue 🤷‍♂️ i'd guess korea possibly yeah, but not sure about chinese internet "rules"

gloomy ice
#

Not as far as I'm aware? A friend of mine was stationed in South Korea while he was in the military and he could not access his character on the main servers.

plain python
#

VPN then?

opaque pewter
#

How many E12 tokens will it take to get the weapon?

gloomy ice
#

Seven

manic flare
#

does ShB have more cutscenes than stormblood?

#

ive heard it's very cutscene happy

gloomy ice
#

And yeah I guess they could just use a VPN namazuthink

versed geyser
#

Apparently for the Korean servers you'll need a Korean phone number

gloomy ice

(I looked into a bit since it seems interesting)

manic flare
#

i thought SE banned logging in from VPNs on the fear of bots?

faint flare
#

No

gritty cedar
#

i don’t remember they ban ppl for that, tons of folks use ping programs and they re technically vpn oriented for games

ebon plaza
#

Can you dye the level 80 GNB set?

fresh isle
#

Is it worth having more characters or just one as you can change classes?

faint flare
#

You get the dyeable version from Memoria Misera EX

#

Alts aren't common unless you wanna play on a different data centres or raid with others without screwing with loot locks

fresh isle
#

any difference between Chaos and light?

faint flare
#

No

fresh isle
#

ok thanks for the help

manic flare
#

is there a list of glowy weapons that are obtainable on the MB, like the demon sets?

slate arrow
#

basically all crafted primal weapons

green grail
#

if it has a blue background it probably has a glow

slate arrow
#

Except for the allagan replicas

manic flare
#

which primal weapons are crafted?

#

i can't find the containment bay one

slate arrow
#

All of the ones on the MB are crafted only

green grail
#

demon something, goddess something and fiend something are the containment bays

manic flare
#

the crafted primal weapons are generally ARR and HW primals?

faint flare
#

There's one stormblood one

#

With shinyru

polar cairn
#

A friend told me about player auctions is it bannable?

slate arrow
#

assuming it's not enabling RMT no

remote lintel
#

if you mean selling accounts yes

open ember

#

Was Ironworks / Shire / Scaven the previous expansion endgame tome gear equivalent to Cryptlurker gear now?

gloomy ice
#

Correct

dry jolt

expansions

onyx kiln
#

so i have been trying to solo play the second coil of Bahamut turn 4 now and can't get past the golems that spawns, one turns giant and takes no damage what so ever

manic flare
#

does leviathan, shiva and ramuh have crafted weapons?

open ember
#

Ramuh yes

remote lintel
#

ramuh does

open ember
#

Shiva and Leviathan no

remote lintel
#

leviathan and shiva glowy weapons are traded

#

from EX drops

gritty oracle
#

For Shiva and Leviathan, you get the ex drop weapons, the ex drop crafting mat, and trade them in

open ember
#

Ramuh, Titan, Ifrit and Garuda are crafted

#

HW: Sophia, Sephirot, Zurvan, Thordan, Nidhogg, Bismark

remote lintel
#

and zurvan

#

oh u said that

open ember
#

SB: Seiryu, Tsukiyomi, Suzaku, Shinryu and I can't remember what else

open ember
#

Byakko and Susano aren't crafted

#

And Lakshmi has no weapons

ivory iris
#

if I get the jpn version of the artbooks can I still use the minion codes?

open ember
#

Yep

#

My CDs were jpn copies but the minion still worked

remote lintel
#

items codes from the store are universal

#

iirc

ivory iris
#

do I just translate the jpn characters into eng or?

manic flare
#

thordan doesn't have a crafted weapons set either correct?

remote lintel
#

yes it does

#

@ivory iris the codes should use the english alphabet letters

open ember
#

Its the weapons that end in "The Round"

#

They're silver weapons with a blue glow

magic light
#

for just e11n, how does mark powder work? From my memory, it's a tankbuster with an after effect of an aoe explosive triggering on the tank

remote lintel
#

you can look up all the crafted primal weapons on the mb

magic light
#

Is it possible for it to just immediately blow up?

faint flare
#

If you die

#

While its on you

#

It automatically explodes

remote lintel
#

i havent seen it explode i just thought it was a regular tb

open ember
#

I just remember it as a tb

faint flare
#

Its a two part buster

#

The initial hit then the second hit when the debuff expires

magic light
#

ah, i see

#

that answers my misintepretation

faint flare
#

Both parts hit hard

#

Especially savage

remote lintel
#

does it have splash dmg?

ivory iris
#

There are only japanese characters on the little card in the back...

faint flare
#

Yes, if you're close to the tank for the second hit

#

Its an aoe explosion around them

open ember
#

In normal the light element targets one person then explodes

#

After 5 secs

magic light
open ember
#

But I didn't know powder mark was 2 part

faint flare
#

Powder mark is the tank buster

magic light
#

i'd consider the blowing up part a tb as well because anyone that isn't a tank would just die

faint flare
#

Because it is part of the buster

#

Its a two parter

open ember
#

I just heal my tank after powder mark

polar cairn
#

First hit you can use a soft cd

#

2nd you’ll need a rampart

open ember
#

Oh I just rewatched a video for it

#

I just stay far from the tank then

#

I didn't realize it was part of powder mark

#

Good to know

buoyant sorrel
#

Do all savage versions not have the aoe indicators that show before the attack?

faint flare
#

Its typical to have little to no indictators in savage yes

ionic hazel
#

my botanist just hit 80

#

what gear should i start off

naive kraken
#

other than the scrip gear if you need more money first

ionic hazel
#

so since im poor

#

just scrip gear

manic flare
#

in order to craft something using a specialist recipe, i hve to equip the soul of the crafter?

full mist
spiral echo
slate arrow
#

@spiral echo MSQ reward or Calamity Salvager

gritty oracle
#

But you can switch specialists for 480 yellow scrips

#

Then 480 more to switch back once you're done

#

You can have 3 specialist crafters. I recommend alchemist, culinarian, and whichever crafter makes your main's weapons and/or armour. The extra stats are nice when making high end food/pots

obsidian patio
#

It’s similar to how using Tank LB3 at a perfect timing can save some people from high damage attacks but others still die, as the buff didn’t reach them fast enough

granite root
#

What's the quickest way to get to ilvl 480 from 450?

slate arrow
#

@granite root buying Neo-Ishgard gear off the marketboard

faint flare
#

Or farm eden verse for free

obsidian patio
#

Not counting Gil, run the highest level 80 dungeons for gear and tomestones

full mist
#

Ahh I see. Thank you @obsidian patio !

brave drift
#

sorry, there is someone that is still in the free version of the game here?

sour ruin
#

Does blue crab require the folklore book to be able to catch?

obsidian patio
#

According to Garland Tools, yes

sour ruin
#

Dang, thanks for the answer hahaha

granite root
#

How about if I specifically need a ring and earrings to get to 480?

#

No neo-ishgardian ring or earrings on the marketboard

obsidian patio
#

Dungeon gear, Eden raids, and tomestones

#

Or if you’re fine with the higher cost buy the Exarchic ring and earring

granite root
#

...what the heck the earrings went in my inventory despite there being slots open

spare sapphire
#

Would iLvl 510 with Crit/Det be better than iLvl 520 with Piety/Det for a healer if you aren't having mana issues?

granite root
#

...which is where I found neo-ishgardian earrings. What is going on with my inventory

obsidian patio
#

The i520 is still better due to more main stats, in a majority of cases

#

If the i510 is the Exarchic stuff, it can be better if you overmeld it

granite root
#

And no one is selling so I can set my own price. Sweet!

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there any way to mute certain emotes, etc?

spare sapphire
#

ok thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

The paint emote is the most fucking irritating thing ever

#

But I don't wanna mute everything else

obsidian patio
#

In terms of visuals, no.

#

A mod might be able to do something like that but I play on PS4 so I can’t give a concrete answer

granite root
#

Why does it keep telling me to use the Ronkan Claws instead of the Neo-Ishgardian Claws

faint flare
#

Get HQ

#

Not nq

granite root
#

Wasn't one for sale lol

obsidian patio
#

F

faint flare
#

Then you wasted money

#

NQ is fucking garbage

obsidian patio
#

Normal Quality weapons in particular lose a ton of damage

#

NQ neo-ishgardian weapons have less weapon damage than your i430 job-specific weapons

manic flare
#

how do i put a weapon in chat so others can check out the weapon?

obsidian patio
#

Right-click and choose link

open ember
#

HQ is hqlight

granite root
#

Wait what, some of those were in my inventory too what

#

Why is everything going into my inventory when I have empty armoury chest slots

obsidian patio
#

Check your inventory settings in the character config

pallid delta
#

I'm a free trial player (gonna buy when I have my next pay in 30 days) are there any fishing tips? I've only really been doing the out to sea boat trips and not much else unless i unlock my job specific quest

#

I've also just been selling all my fish but don't know if there's any worth keeping them

obsidian patio
#

In terms of ocean fishing they’re all equally worthless for the most part

ocean tartan
#

whre i can find a guide for Resistance weapons?

obsidian patio
#

Fishes from everywhere else are... well still mostly worthless, but specific ones can be traded in at leve quests for big chunks of experience, much like crafter leves

#

And others can sometimes be worth a lot for being crafting materials or being able to go into the aquarium furniture piece.

obsidian patio
#

Though the current steps are pretty easy currently

Hi, I have a GNB question. I was in a dungeon earlier and someone mentioned that In 2+ mobs I should only use aoe moves.For my aoe rotation at level 69 I don’t have an aoe cartridge Spender. Do I still end my rotation with burst strike or completely ignore my cartridge spenders?

open coral
#

You can still end with Burst Strike to spend, it's just that for the rest of your rotation you should be prioritizing AoE abilities over ST abilities when you have multiple targets.

gleaming mist
#

you can burst strike when there's 1-2 targets

#

you should ignore it when there's 3+

#

your gnashing fang combo should be prioritized over burst strike, and use it when there's 1-3 targets

short prairie
#

Sounds good. Thank you

fresh isle
#

what is "ok" ping in the game?
I wanna play with friend and my ping would be 156

wary carbon
#

Hey, I’m late to the party for Bozja and just got rank 10 and had an unsuccessful Lacus Litore attempt, what’s the best way these days to gather enough ppl who know what they’re doing within an instance to get it done

open coral
#

156 you're going to have a small, but obvious delay between your inputs and your actions. Not unplayable, but enough that you'll have to rethink your reaction times @fresh isle

remote lintel

@wary carbon party finder

wary carbon
#

👍

#

Thanks a bunch!

manic flare
#

but it says i cannot buy more than one of this item

#

even though a /isearch query doesn't show i have any

You already learned it

do you get anything other than exp for doing all of the hunting log?

remote lintel
#

a ring for that class

manic flare
#

maybe achiievement points?

gritty oracle
#

Since the Energy Drain nerfs, is the Dissipation opener still the best? Not much of a fan of it.

brave sky
#

Is there any downside to doing quick ventures if you have the currency to do them every hour?

faint flare
#

Ofc, its still damage

queen yoke
#

whats the name of the guys that join your grand company mini crew?

willow dune
#

Squadron?

queen yoke
#

yeah that tx

#

got one question, can you edit your squadron? like I mean their appearance, like nose type or eye color

gritty oracle
#

My current E9S opener relies heavily on fairy though. 2nd fcd seraph for ground razing, whisper, fey blessing for iirc the second hit of art of darkness... Should I substitute them with aetherflow and succor?

remote lintel
#

no

willow dune
#

I think there's an option for glamour but not changing them physically

queen yoke
#

Ughh so I have to luck out if I want a cute looking lalafell with blush stickers playdead

willow dune
#

Yeah just keep rerolling hahaha

remote lintel
#

theyre all set npcs

queen yoke
#

on top of them already having RNG lays

leaden ginkgo
#

I was talking about getting this game earlier and i have another question, does it have voice acting?

remote lintel
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

after playing Guild Wars 2 and having the story fully voiced i kinda got used to it

remote lintel
#

you could just play the free trial first

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah im downloading it but its really slow

queen yoke
#

voice acting is present, but its not on every cinematic

remote lintel
#

there is voice acting in important scenes

tawny quest
#

Not much voice acting in ARR though, there’s more voice acting as you go along

queen yoke
#

you can be sure that any actually important cinematic does feature voice acting though

cold crescent
#

anyone on primal available for an alliance raid? old content so we having trouble with duty finder

leaden ginkgo
#

oh yeah and uhh, is there any guide/explanation on how the UI works because i saw screenshots of it and I've never seen so many buttons on an interface

#

thats why i dont normally try mmos, it looks like too much

cold crescent
#

tbh its kind of a learn by doing

#

you sorta get used to it

remote lintel
#

there isnt really that many buttons compared to traditional mmos

cold crescent
#

at least in my experience

remote lintel
#

you can customize it

queen yoke
#

the game explains as you play and its everything very intuitive

faint flare
cold crescent
#

was overwhelming for me too and now its second nature

queen yoke
#

you are only confused because you're seeing everything at once

steel bay
#

question. it says on the square enix site that i dont have any avalible characters on my account when i did play ffxiv before and had a stronk character, do they delete characters after you havent played for a long while or what?

remote lintel
#

no

#

how long ago did you play

cold crescent
#

nop

steel bay
crimson wind
leaden ginkgo
#

And also to add with my question, are there any classes that are just bad or not recommended for new players?

obsidian patio
#

Your character should definitely still be there, unless you got banned somehow

obsidian patio
#

Because players can still come back 6+ years ago with characters from the legacy version of the game

steel bay
agile night
#

is there any functional difference between timecards and subscription via credit card?
