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
If you can’t get the pre-opener time to do VerAero+VerThunder then just follow your priority list
Ok thanks 👍. Doing a long cast just feels awful 😂
can housing bed function like the one in the inn? Or only decoration?
like, you can log out and see animation
you cant interact with them but if you log out/in at your house then you do see the animation iirc @plain python
Nope, only the inn bed does that animation
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.
you cant highlight and delete it?
Nope, I’m on PS4
Untick the box that saves your password
Hey im trying to unlock my Retainer but the quest is not there im looking on YT and it should be here
I tried that and it still won’t work.
@left lantern did you talk to a retainer vocate at the marketplace
I'm sure I asked this months ago for something else I was trying to meld, but I've long since forgotten.. Why won't it let me meld any more to this?
Grade 6/8 can’t go past the first overmeld
Use grade 7
Gotcha mkay, thanks!
There was no quest there either
@iron furnace you could try uninstalling/reinstalling but that seems like a last resort
you made a new mog station account right
Yep
you may need to contact support and tell them to unlink your old account from your ps4?
Hm, alright I’ll try that for now, thanks
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
!faq gearguide
Do roulettes that give Allegory and Revelation, along with spamming level 80 dungeons and the Eden/YorHa raids for gear
deepshadow is pretty easy to get
as a stepping stone
and neo ish prices might be cheap
Neo-Ishgardian gear might be super cheap for your server, so buying a piece or two will speed things up
Especially for the weapon
if it's a free trial account, no retainer allowed
alright thanks for the advice
fastest way to go from lvl 30 to 50? just started machinist
beast tribe, roulettes, highest lvl dungeon
could do palace of the dead too, farming floors 51-60 if you can
but that gets boring fast
what is beast tribe and palace of the dead?
beast tribes are daily quests although the ARR one are for like lvl 40+
Beast Tribes: Reputation grinds, basically, also backstory. Can do up to 12 a day
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
Looking for a mentor, im brand new to the game, any help is appreciated, thanks 🙂
join the novice network
oh where can i find it?
although if youre looking for the exp boost its not great
you need to be invited by a mentor
in game
Ask any questions you like in here
is that like a guild or something?
its a chat channel
i just installed the game today
A personal helper who’ll specifically mentor you isn’t really a realistic prospect
okay thanks, got a lot of grinding to do 
People aren’t going to be up for that
Novice network is more of a global chat channel ingame
and yeah you can just ask questions here
alright, thanks
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
alright, im level 3 now, where can i find more abilities? i currently only have one ability attached to my 1 key
you get them as you level and do your class quests
Do your class quests
are they automatically added to the hotbar?
Yes
yes
Yes
alright, thank you
But yeah you can't just "get" more skills really
Yep, but you can add them beforehand in the action menu
It's all from leveling and doing your class quests
gotcha, ty
you can rearrange the hotbar and add other random things from the actions and traits menu
is there a place i can find other new people to play with?
you can join a free company (aka guild)
but for dungeons and stuff youre automatically matchmade
you'll probably randomly get invites to a free company while you play too
where can i find a mentor to invite me to that network? 😮
which city did you start in?
Mentors are marked with the
icon by their name. Most people hang out in the market area or near the big Aetheryte (the blue crystals) of the main cities
thank you. i think i started in Gridania?
Ask around in a major city for an invite.
make sure your chat is set to shout and just try to ask for one in one of the main cities
alright, thanks again guys
Free trial players cannot use shout
oop
stand by the big aetheryte and if youre not on free trial use /shout
nvm
otherwise just use /say
alright

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 😦
no you dont, bahamut coils are optional
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?
Yes
The Crystal Tower raid questline is 3 fights
Labyrinth is the first one
Go back to Mor Dhona and keep doing that questline
i see.
You want to keep following that chain until you complete the quest named The Light of Hope.
like, you can't just leave that plot unfinished lol
i dont see a quest line though
ah wait
i probably have it turned off lol
yep im dumb
cool
thank you!
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.
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
You said you own the game
It's a whole thing cali
Unless you mean you own the free trial
I don't know what that's supposed to mean
the base game and xpacs are steam. Stormbringers was bought for pc
So you already own the base game
For steam, not for pc
So....
You want to just completely abandon your steam account?
and go non-steam?
using your non-steam shadowbringers purchase?
I have to abandon my steam account because stormbringers won't active since it's not steam, it's pc
you don't have to
activate
You could just buy Shadowbringers on Steam and keep using your account
i activated it through steam
i bought it on steam and activated it on the website today
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
I'm the guy earlier who had the game in korea. believe it or not I can't buy the game here.
on steam
Hm weird
totally, it's a mess cali
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
It sounds like kind of the same problem. Except from the SE website
just get the starter edition and you're good
So
Did you own the base game on PC?
no but I thought that came in the collectors edition
for steam yes
No Callin it doesn't
ohh ok
complete edition has everything
collector's edition is just that expansion + some in game goodies
When I try to start my steam edition it just gives me a connection error
Thank you so much man that sucks I totally had no clue
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
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
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
and SB or just say screw it and cry lol
You already own ShB though right?
I thought you bought it already
yes, my dumb butt bought stormbringers for pc, and the us versions of base and other xpacs for steam
Jesus Christ
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
Yes, that's my best guess, and for whatever reason they don't want to play with everyone else
I don't know if FFXIV Steam Korea gives global or KR codes
I'd assume the latter but like

Did red mage had any job changes from sb to shb, like any skills in sb that disappeared in shb?
Korea basically runs a unique client to deal with any needed censorship and to use their form of subscription
Which is done by the minute/hour
yes, pc bangs are huge here
@spare plinth not really, besides the changes to Scatter/Impact And making Holy and Flare replace the long casts
Tether was removed since it was a pretty useless AoE bind
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
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
Lock your hotbar
lol thanks for the help guys. It's a crazy issue. But I think I fudged myself a couple ways here
bit off topic but pretty sure it's something to do with Korean laws and having to allow Korean players a different method of subscription
@wintry chasm so is this the one I need?
Don't bother
since you already own Shadowbringers just get the starter edition
cheaper
Its going to have all the DLC still?
Yeah because Shadowbringers includes all previous DLCs
You are literally the best
not trying to be annoying but this will suffice?
Yes!
That's what I'm doing too, GL Callin!
so once i get that code it should let me put the other shadowbringers code in?
Just make sure you get the right version! Steam/PC/Mac/ or ps4
GL Wiseau!
Wiseau is right though
im going to give this a shot
yea lol ive been pretty crucial with what platform
lol yeah, don't be a wiseau. 😢
so you play from SK but wanted to play with the international client? 🤔
is this what you intended to do?
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
#general-discussion unless there's questions <.<
sorry.
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
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!
Whats the emote that makes miqos do this pose?
Yes you’ll still need to do the patch story to go to the expansions. The patch story for the base game and expansions purposefully gives less experience to help avoid overleveling.
You can also opt to level up another job to soak up the extra experience
On top of this, it's important plot
hey guys, I am new to ffxiv and this server. I'm looking for players to help me with the Realm reborn: chimera trial
Or just queue?
It is under trial, not dungeon
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
technically but since it's part of the relic questline it's not the most unlocked thing ever and stuff
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
thanks mate, much appreciated! might have to level 2 classes

does Aegis Shrimp have a gathering req?
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
my guess bots, and if my experience in other MMOs tell me anything, no chance to compete as they can undercut all day long
for e10s tb when do i provoke?
first time I'm seeing this weapon. Did they add some new crafteds?
omg I have spent 27-30 lvl trying to get Aesgis Shrimp, gamerescape doesn't list any req for it so Im just unnlucky?
yes zurvan crafted was added with 5.4 @agile laurel
Huh. TIL. what're they called?
x of the Demon
aha. neat.
i thought it looked like zurvan crafted but i couldn't find them in mb manually
and couldn't find anything online
good to know tho
fishing is very rng, make sure you're at the correct fishing hole and have the right bait. after that hope rng favours you
what to do with fish from ocean fishing? Throw them away?
Pretty much, yeah

How are you supposed to tank the giant ads phase of titania?
The ones outside the perimeters that is
People were just dying left and right
One tank gets the west one, another gets the north one. Everyone else kills the East one ASAP before moving to the other two

Will I get the 50 tokens of revelations from wondrous tails 1 line bonus if I'm capped at 450/450 for this week ?
thanks 🙂
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
I can swear that I saw 400/450
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.

The lesson? Make sure when buying an xpac that you match to the correct version. Steam/PC difference screwed me here.
I don't think it has a name but it is in 5.3 too when ||Lyna and co wish us well as we go back home||
We’ll get a proper name for it whenever they release the next OST album
where is the quest to get the ARR beast tribes to allied?
I think I maxed all of them?
Should be at your GC
"call of the wild"
Also mind you it's a questline not a single quest
ty found it 🙂
hey, how can i access my 1 and 2 service accounts from the same email log in? i automatically log in to 1 service account and i have no option to select the 2nd in main menu
Hi, I just bought a mount, when will it arrive in game?
Could take 30 mins could take a few hours. No one knows. If it's an account wide mount they usually take longer.
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
aha ok, thank you boi 
Gives you priority in the queue
me waiting

Do you get something to lvl faster at 60 days of subs?
If you used the friendship code
!item friendship circlet
Increases EXP earned by 20% when level 25 and below.

can I alternate sb and shb msq between two jobs and still get enough xp to keep accepting them
Shadowbringers experience isn’t as plentiful so depending on the level you enter as you may need to supplement with extra dungeons/roulettes
Yeah. The earrings went to higher levels but they are pre-order bonuses
i just finished the base game story and is lvl 50 do i buy the iron work gear with the tome?
Yes Ironworks is the best bang for buck at that level.
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?
You can upgrade to collectors editions at a later date
It sould be an option when you log into mog station
is there any indonesian player
how do i play
doesnt really do with confirmation code
whatnot
oh this is free trial account registration
in the client
Don't know but there are a few different versions. There's a discount for getting them all at once in a bundle
gotcha, I mainly want the shadowbringers one for squall's gunblade lol
and/or if it's cheaper than just buying the $30 shadowbringers collectors edition that's on sale rn
I think the hw brings a fantasia so it's a slightly better deal than the rest
But squall gunbalde is ShB collector edition, no?
Yes
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
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
Hi! Question, how do you create a button for a 15 or 20 seconds countdown on PS4?

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?
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.
@jovial tide thanks!
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?
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
Oh.. and the ones with cross?
Talking about
these ones?
Yes
Those ones unlock something, not as important as msq but more important than
these ones
Class quests also use the
icon and those are very important
because some of them unlock new abilities
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
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?
Those are fates, which are basically randomly spawning events that you can complete for a bit of experience and Gil
If you mean ones like this
Thank you
ok starting the game, does my data center matter much? I'm EU so its between chaos or light
so if i cancel my subscription in mogstation, it would be automatically canceled now or in the next billing date?
It seems to be commonly accepted that the majority of jobs in this game are boring until level 60
Or.. Slow
w/e
Both EU datacenters are at the same location, so it doesn't matter (as far as latency is concerned)... just do a little research on the communities, choose your server and you're good to go.
i just hit 70 on dancer, when should i use technical step? should it be used together with devilment?
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
i've bought the steam version of this game, can i uninstall my original ft launcher as the steam one downloaded it seperately?
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
gotcha. ty!!
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?
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:
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
Is there a particular reason to do the craft/havest job quests besides xp gain ?
Skills
what's that ?
Skills and abilities are locked behind your job quests
Especially important ones like Manipulation at 65
For crafters
skills, the important skill (manipulation) is locked unless you do the job quests
actions are locked behind job quests for crafters same as they are for combat jobs
OK I see
just less frequently
Completely unrelated : is there a way to see a mount's speed ? I'm not feeling much faster with the behemoth
They're all the same speed
okay !
Speed is determined by your area
wat
Travel > Mount speed
Its only ground speed affected by speed increases as flying is the max speed
are the crafting classes benefits useless/locked in trial version?
New player. Stumbled upon blacksmith guild quest and having fun playing that minigame..
they're useful as far as heavensward
no reason you cannot make use of them entirely until then
You can still repair your own gear
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
Ok, so are there high tier gear that can only be crafted by smiths within the Trial version?
as far as level 60
yep
well, ofc anyone can make them, your gear progress just stops at 60
And its mostly outdate but
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
Thank you
so if you want to craft and gather all the stuff you can make from basegame and heavensward, nothing stopping you
why do you have like a particle flourish when you craft or gather sometimes ?
Spiritbonding probably
anyone know the percentage that each roulette gives?
not sure if this is the place to ask, but is anyone here good with mechanical keyboards? ;-; im having a problem and could use some advice
what problem? 😮

some of my keys keep having a problem where its like, not recognizing the press at first? and its usually the keys i use the most like Shift or WASD. like if i press D to strafe, i might just not move. and if i do start to move, it might be a little glitchy where the movement like, starts and stops a little bit before it just kinda works?
Guys any recommendation for a good europe server?
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)
also i have no idea where im supposed to buy more switches from o.o the keyboard came with like, a 10-pack, but i really like these black ones and i wanna get some for the whole keyboard
@rigid dust you bind A and D to strafe yet?
hahaha, yes, i did c:
can you report someone when the other tells you "you suck"?
Anyone else been experiencing huge lag spikes on Crystal Data Center?
This happened in the middle of The Vault today, had a ping of over 11 seconds at one point. It's been ongoing since Christmas Eve.
I know someone who got reported for standing in someone elses "spot" in limsa so why not
I would hope not. XIV's GM team have a really cutthroat definition of 'harassment' but in that case I would hope common sense came through
If that's enough to get you to report someone, deary me, I'd imagine people having a thicker skin
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
Not a day goes by without me reporting someone
I like uldah so I get rmt spam shouts all the goddamn time
well lets hope they do. I got insulted
and I god damn hope they will get a ban
and simply saying "you suck" probably won't get a gm on you, worst case imo they'll probably have a chat with you
that's... severe. they should just have a GM ask them to chill
the GM team errs on the side of those who don't, traditionally
it's why many people learn to walk on eggshells a bit
people also like to overstate the gms being that bad
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
but like i said, you can be reported for anything but whether the GMs do something about it is a different matter entirely
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
If I were to world transfer to jp, is there any difference between choosing tonberry and kujata?
Tonberry is the biggest English speaking hub iirc
Also lots of very hardcore raiders
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
Speaking of which, did Tate's group get world first in E12S? What DC/server are they on?
Huh ty!
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?
The spreaded dots will be at max duration
ah
Instead of being what the original timers are

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? 😮
so on https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/eternalbond/na/detail/special_item_4.html
the bridesmoogle is listed for gold bondings, so even for gold guests get both minions?
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
perfect, thanks <3
The Gold plan will get you Most of what you need
Platinum is just. Being Extra
which is never a bad thing
you need to do the whole ceremony to get the outfit and gitf?
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 ?
I mean I can just buy a plan and it gives me everything without doing ceremony? Or I have to progress through the wedding?
No matter the level
Yes
But it doesnt lock you out under lv60
You just have to pay monthly to access the game
No, I mean if I stop paying the subscription
You literally cant log in if you dont pay yhe sub
Yeah
Regardless of level
Oh okay
No sub payment = can't log in
Well that kinda sucks
It is an MMO on a subscription based model so
You'll get the outfits before the ceremony but you'll be stuck with an incomplete quest
And if you buy Plat & Gold plans you can't get the mount until after the ceremony is over
Or the minions
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
no point in doing 61-100
generally not worth the time/effort and most people don't bother doing those floors
Just do dunegon with runs for 50-60
so it is $20 per 3 outfit set + 2 minion without the ceremony? Sound... good 🤔
No you need the ceremony for the minions
Because the guests get that after
And the hosts do not get the minions
Is there any reason not to extract equipments ?
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%
only reason i wouldnt bother with it is if you're on free trial
It used to destroy the item, but not anymore
cos then you're just filling your inventory with low level materia you can't really do much with
well, having low-level materia can be helpful for Zodiac weapon if you keep them around 😄
low lvl materia are at least free gil, which is helpful at times
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
Also useful for these materia crafting job classes
i've been vendoring extra materia since I keep using my gil on stuff >.> a lot.

If a friend buys ffxiv on steam, but I play through the pc launcher from the square enix website, could we still play together on the same server?
does chocobo receive exp if I put him into the stable?
yes, steam/non steam pc and ps4 all play on the same servers @leaden ginkgo
only if you feed him @plain python
Sweet, thanks!
all fruit gives exp or it needs to be specific?
these give exp
funny foods
do feeding take effect immediately or I need to wait a few hours like dyeing chocobo feather color?
immediately
kk thx
is there a hotkey to cancel macros?
no, nor can it be macro'd
^
Does anyone know the Orchestrion names of all the different variations of the song ANSWERS? I know there's a few. Thank you for helping me. ^^
how's that one work?
ah nice idea 🙂 thanks 🙂
there's only two. Answers and Answers- Reprise
you're essentially "breaking" the first macro with the second one
wha
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

Answers
Answers Reprise
Beyond Redemption
From the Ashes
and Rise of the White Raven has Hydaelyn's three-word chant/call echoing in the background, which is amazing stuff.
Is it a common practice to macro rip/tear/gouge?
I don't mean like the full combo, but rather each individual action followed by rip/tear/gouge
the answer is still no
Don't do that
Macros aren't recommended at ALL
there are very few combat macros that are ok to use
generally they are QoL type macros for ground aoes, or to make certain ogcd targeted skills easier
i.e dragon sight
Where do I spend my Allagan Tomestones of Poetics?
Mor dhona, Idyllshire or rhalgars
For 50/60/70 stuff
Alternatively the 3 main cities, ishgard or kugane
in revenants toll?
Yes
Macros for anything but the basics (tank Invulns, raises, ground target aoes, buff skills that you need to target other players for) is a BIG NO-NO for macros
Aurina and the other girl
tank invuls/raises are also generally not recommended either
ic ic
macros in FFXIV are...sadly...so badly implemented that most of the time they may as well not exist. but that's not to say they don't have uses. you just have to work around the faults. no queueing, being one of 'em
anything worth to grow in apartments for profits? 😮
wait random lol party finder is limited to paying players right or
they're intentionally simplistic
because they don't want people making one macro to do their rotation
Only people who own the game can make party finders
okie
I use it to simply keep my damn book from /read open for longer than 6 seconds 😛
I don't know why Square Enix doesn't like auto-repeating emotes.
but perhaps I guess it all saves on server processing power
I had this discussion the other night but it seems the consensus was it was alright?
thats why i said generally
they're not the worst
but ideally, shouldn't be macroing them either
Any healer with some brain can see the invuln buff
The only tank invuln that would have any reason for macroing is holmgang
Because it can chain you to a target
what level of materia is recommended to meld to scaevan gear?
If the target dies you lose the buff
level V?
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
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
and no 'wait' macros >.>
Queuing refers to how you can press it a bit before it finishes spinning and it still goes through asap, right?
correct
Hello everyone, I'm coming back to FFXIV and just have been really picky/stuck as to where I should settle in which DC/World
I'm looking for a more laid back and friendly community.
roughly in the last half second before the gcd is up
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
is there a way to log in faster? I got the game through steam with multi-factor so I'm already authenticated there, then I have to do Square Enix username, password and multi-factor. I can't seem to remember this machine, or auto login.
Hey guys, would like to know, i removed from my friend list a friend who stopped during HW, is there a way to invite him back with the callback campaign ?
Does anyone know if hte Disreputable Priest is still at the Wolves Den Pier?
No event ended last year
Any way to get those items now?
@hard flint if he's in your fc you can still invite him
Also no
ty
I'm not in :/ @little swift Cant we invite with the mog station or a mail or something ?
Afaik the email is sent through using their name in game
Arg ok ok :/
if and when you have 3 seals where you have at least 2 of the same type. does on of them get replaces with whatever you use next? Or does the seals get replaced in a certain order?
as a Astrologian
Hello everyone
The most recent seals is placed in the right most slot
okay, guess i got lucky in most cases then
And they're moved down one
Its my birthday today and I was offered to get any steam game i wanted, and i was wondering if FFXIV was worth it
the only other mmo i played was guild wars 2 and i had a bunch of fun with it
you can play the game for free through the main game and its first expansion to try it out
oh really? thats dope
Yes, the trial goes up to lv60 and through the first expansion
Basically half the game
With several social limitations
except GW2's level cap isnt stunted
oh, yeah.
and GW2 isnt a subscription game
i dunno, the HUD looks so loaded with so many things and abilities that it looks kinda scary tbh
You can customise it quite abit
yeah, its my main problem with this game, I'm not sure if its worth getting into it just because of the subscription
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
The HUD is completely customizable
almost, not completely.
And you can add and remove almost anything
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
Steam might do some regional pricing which might make it slightly better but eh
Yeah, not really
i have a 65% tax on anything i buy on steam
it sucks really bad
does anyone know which mount this is?
Eden Prime
ahhh
From E12S
how you get?
.
op duh
lol
sry\
ty guys
going back to do sh*t that no one else does it seems, cuz I got no life! 😄
how do you get allied reputation with moogles?
Get the other heavensward beast tribes to bloodsworn and do the Allied beast tribe quest
if my character is on a specific server, but it wont let me make another one on it, is there anything I can do?
Hi all, I just wanted to check have the added the NG+ (or whatever it's called) to replay job quests again (like for DRK?)
Yes
Was that a yes to my Q?
Yes
Ah ok, thank you 🙂
any info on character creation? Is it usually a short time before it allows creation again or am I completely out of luck?
You can only have 1 character per server on entry sub
If you want multiple characters on a server for whatever reason you'll need a standard sub
ah understood, thanks for that

if I get the jpn version of the artbooks can I still use the minion codes?
how do you see your live ping?
How do I change the display area on ps4 ? All the guides im seeing seem to be outdated
rank 20 chocobo can learn all skills?
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
Steam permanently locks you to it, thus meaning you cant use sales SE or other retails have
Which is the main downside
basically relying on steam sale
and no physical, versions
can I grow thannavian onion indoor?
or every seed is growable indoor and don't require outdoor soil?
Which class usually gets the coolest looking gear?
is there a eden savage fc for beginner ?
which disciple of hand job makes the armor for samurai?
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
how do people in asia outside of japan play FFXIV, ie korea, china, taiwan, singapore, etc?
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
what servers do they use
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
but someone in those countries would be able to use the main servers if they wanted to, no?
no clue 🤷♂️ i'd guess korea possibly yeah, but not sure about chinese internet "rules"
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.
VPN then?
How many E12 tokens will it take to get the weapon?
Seven

And yeah I guess they could just use a VPN 
Apparently for the Korean servers you'll need a Korean phone number
I'm uncertain of exact numbers but there does seem to be more voiced cutscenes for this expansion as I recall.
(I looked into a bit since it seems interesting)
i thought SE banned logging in from VPNs on the fear of bots?
No
i don’t remember they ban ppl for that, tons of folks use ping programs and they re technically vpn oriented for games
Can you dye the level 80 GNB set?
Is it worth having more characters or just one as you can change classes?
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
any difference between Chaos and light?
No
ok thanks for the help
is there a list of glowy weapons that are obtainable on the MB, like the demon sets?
basically all crafted primal weapons
if it has a blue background it probably has a glow
Except for the allagan replicas
All of the ones on the MB are crafted only
demon something, goddess something and fiend something are the containment bays
the crafted primal weapons are generally ARR and HW primals?
A friend told me about player auctions is it bannable?
assuming it's not enabling RMT no
if you mean selling accounts yes
SB trial crafted weapons were introduced 5.3. Shinryu weapons were a while ago in like. Early SHB post patch. They just released Zurvan crafted weapons
Was Ironworks / Shire / Scaven the previous expansion endgame tome gear equivalent to Cryptlurker gear now?
Correct
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
does leviathan, shiva and ramuh have crafted weapons?
Ramuh yes
ramuh does
Shiva and Leviathan no
For Shiva and Leviathan, you get the ex drop weapons, the ex drop crafting mat, and trade them in
Ramuh, Titan, Ifrit and Garuda are crafted
HW: Sophia, Sephirot, Zurvan, Thordan, Nidhogg, Bismark
SB: Seiryu, Tsukiyomi, Suzaku, Shinryu and I can't remember what else
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Binding_Coil_of_Bahamut_-_Turn_4
This might help you
if I get the jpn version of the artbooks can I still use the minion codes?
do I just translate the jpn characters into eng or?
thordan doesn't have a crafted weapons set either correct?
He does
Its the weapons that end in "The Round"
They're silver weapons with a blue glow
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
you can look up all the crafted primal weapons on the mb
Is it possible for it to just immediately blow up?
i havent seen it explode i just thought it was a regular tb
I just remember it as a tb
does it have splash dmg?
There are only japanese characters on the little card in the back...
Yes, if you're close to the tank for the second hit
Its an aoe explosion around them
it's an aoe tb, yes
But I didn't know powder mark was 2 part
Powder mark is the tank buster
i'd consider the blowing up part a tb as well because anyone that isn't a tank would just die
I just heal my tank after powder mark
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

Do all savage versions not have the aoe indicators that show before the attack?
Its typical to have little to no indictators in savage yes
aetheryte by the towers, the something apartments aetheryte
north central part of the map there
getting anything before aesthetes is a waste of money if you can afford it
other than the scrip gear if you need more money first
in order to craft something using a specialist recipe, i hve to equip the soul of the crafter?
does anybody know why WoD Cloud's
Particle Beam
killed some and not others? i stood in the meteor and still died, so did 13 other people but not the entire alliance https://www.fflogs.com/reports/a:7NK4cHZAkXJWThVY#fight=last
event timestamp - https://www.fflogs.com/reports/a:7NK4cHZAkXJWThVY#fight=last&view=events&eventstart=4733969
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearset/55 how would i be able to acquire the items in this gearset?
@spiral echo MSQ reward or Calamity Salvager
Correct
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
Stormblood level 64 MSQ
If I’m reading the chart right, basically you guys killed it the instant the AoE happened. AoEs don’t hit everyone at the exact same time, instead quickly hitting everyone in order
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
What's the quickest way to get to ilvl 480 from 450?
@granite root buying Neo-Ishgard gear off the marketboard
Or farm eden verse for free
Not counting Gil, run the highest level 80 dungeons for gear and tomestones
Ahh I see. Thank you @obsidian patio !
sorry, there is someone that is still in the free version of the game here?
Does blue crab require the folklore book to be able to catch?
According to Garland Tools, yes
Dang, thanks for the answer hahaha
How about if I specifically need a ring and earrings to get to 480?
No neo-ishgardian ring or earrings on the marketboard
Dungeon gear, Eden raids, and tomestones
Or if you’re fine with the higher cost buy the Exarchic ring and earring
...what the heck the earrings went in my inventory despite there being slots open
Would iLvl 510 with Crit/Det be better than iLvl 520 with Piety/Det for a healer if you aren't having mana issues?
...which is where I found neo-ishgardian earrings. What is going on with my inventory
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
And no one is selling so I can set my own price. Sweet!
Is there any way to mute certain emotes, etc?
ok thanks
The paint emote is the most fucking irritating thing ever
But I don't wanna mute everything else
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
Why does it keep telling me to use the Ronkan Claws instead of the Neo-Ishgardian Claws
Wasn't one for sale lol
F
Normal Quality weapons in particular lose a ton of damage
NQ neo-ishgardian weapons have less weapon damage than your i430 job-specific weapons
how do i put a weapon in chat so others can check out the weapon?
Right-click and choose link
HQ is 
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
Check your inventory settings in the character config
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
In terms of ocean fishing they’re all equally worthless for the most part
whre i can find a guide for Resistance weapons?
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.
I don’t think I’ve really seen people make guides for them yet, or at least popular ones. I’d try searching Reddit but their search engine is absolutely garbage
Though the current steps are pretty easy currently
Cheers, I'll look out to do the possible leves and such then. I don't think it would be worth hoarding the craftables right now since I'm only just at limsa

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?
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.
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
Sounds good. Thank you
what is "ok" ping in the game?
I wanna play with friend and my ping would be 156
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
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
@wary carbon party finder
so im trying to buy this:
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
i am not a smart man
Evidently
do you get anything other than exp for doing all of the hunting log?
a ring for that class
maybe achiievement points?
Since the Energy Drain nerfs, is the Dissipation opener still the best? Not much of a fan of it.
Is there any downside to doing quick ventures if you have the currency to do them every hour?
Ofc, its still damage
whats the name of the guys that join your grand company mini crew?
Squadron?
yeah that tx
got one question, can you edit your squadron? like I mean their appearance, like nose type or eye color
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?
no
I think there's an option for glamour but not changing them physically
Ughh so I have to luck out if I want a cute looking lalafell with blush stickers 
Yeah just keep rerolling hahaha
theyre all set npcs
on top of them already having RNG lays
I was talking about getting this game earlier and i have another question, does it have voice acting?
yes
after playing Guild Wars 2 and having the story fully voiced i kinda got used to it
you could just play the free trial first
yeah im downloading it but its really slow
voice acting is present, but its not on every cinematic
there is voice acting in important scenes
Not much voice acting in ARR though, there’s more voice acting as you go along
you can be sure that any actually important cinematic does feature voice acting though
anyone on primal available for an alliance raid? old content so we having trouble with duty finder
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
there isnt really that many buttons compared to traditional mmos
at least in my experience
you can customize it
you'll get the hang of it as you play
the game explains as you play and its everything very intuitive
#protips-and-ui has some ui stuff
was overwhelming for me too and now its second nature
you are only confused because you're seeing everything at once
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?
nop
19 march 2019 was the last time my subscribtion ended
- For a better answer, go to the balance. 2. Pre pull spreadlo will help a lot for first raidwide. Just save aetherflow for indom or recitation indom and you'll be fine. Nothing else needed, you have a co healer for a reason.
And also to add with my question, are there any classes that are just bad or not recommended for new players?
Your character should definitely still be there, unless you got banned somehow
dont think so?...
Because players can still come back 6+ years ago with characters from the legacy version of the game
is there a way too see if i were ever banned?
is there any functional difference between timecards and subscription via credit card?
seems like it
@wide kayak
