I’d submit a support ticket on the mogstation and see if they can give an answer
steel bay
are you sure youre logging on to the right account
yeah
only had one
i did use steam in the end
but then the mog station would still work right? because you still needa square enix id for that
obsidian patio
Yes

hmmm
remote lintel
whats the character name and world
remote lintel
if you don't remember then nvm
remote lintel
so your character wasnt deleted

Hi Everyone - is there channel there I can ask about the differences between this game and WoW or talk to people who came from WoW to FF?
void vigil
Just curious if there are any people who play FFXIV who came from WoW and why they think it's a better choice. I have been hearing something about how the dev cycle is much better - but thats about it.
Feel free to DM me
jade quartz
Plenty of people here who played/play wow
modest igloo
the only thing i can say is that our balance team is far better than what blizz has
all classes are viable in all tiers
remote lintel
lucron made a video about it
hes made multiple videos about ff14 from a WoW players perspective
void vigil
Nice I’ll check it out - honestly I’m mostly a PvP player in WoW but FF looks cool
remote lintel
he has made a video about pvp too 
void vigil
Though a big thing for me is that I can’t commit big chunks of time to raiding in WoW- so WoWs mythic plus sysytem is a good thing for me because it’s minimal time commitment but still gives hi level gear
So wondering if ffxiv endgame is all like raiding content for PvE
modest igloo
nvm cerberus know more than me
twilit karma
What? Raiding is def a big part of endgame. It's an optional part, but it's a big part
remote lintel
savage raids (which are the endgame raids) are mainly for shortcutting the time gated gear
and getting bis and stuff
theres plenty of people who dont raid at endgame
twilit karma
Yeah but again that doesn't mean that the savage raids aren't a major part of endgame content. Again they are optional, nobody has to do them to get anything they'd actually need (except if you want to do Ultimate which is a whole other beast and if you don't want to do savage you won't want to do Ultimate anyway)
crude fractal
Excluding savage, what gear is the best in slot, then?
faint flare
Tome gear

agile night
do relics ever make sense? so far it doesn't seem like it to me
remote lintel
wym
faint flare
They're casuals endgame weapons
They end up being the best weapons at the ebd of the expansion
And its a time sino
agile night
well at 50 I had the option of do a long chain of quests vs spend 500 poetics or however many for something similar. Think there's something similar at 60, not sure beyond
twilit karma
Old relics never are, that's just glam
twilit karma
Current relics are the only ones ever relevant at all stat-wise
agile night
alright
remote lintel
same thing will happen to the current relic once 6.0 is released
gritty oracle
The ARR one is especially geindy, most of the HW one's steps can be bypassed by poetics, scrips or GC seals
the SB ones require Eureka, which is super dead now that bozja exists
void vigil
How long does it take to get to max level
remote lintel
uhh
dry jolt
My new favorite way to refer to lalas "Evil lawn ornament"
void vigil
I feel like I won’t get a true sense of it I like the game until I can play the endgame stuff at max level
agile night
I've played 6-8 weeks and have completed HW, not sure if that helps much
patent citrus
depends on your playtime 🤔 I started 3rd of May and finished Stormblood on 1st of October
crude fractal
Versace, can’t you access the vanilla endgame at 50 anyways?
void vigil
Vanilla endgame? Wouldn’t that be obsolete because of expansions
remote lintel
kinda yeah
crude fractal
The rewards would be, and the fights are less polished
But it’s the game general principles
remote lintel
not many people do ARR endgame level synced
agile night
well, the game does adjust your level to help with that a bit at least
remote lintel
like i said, endgame is only like 20% of the actual game
the point is actually playing though the story
agile night
so if you're level 55 doing a level 50 dungeon or raid, it'll sync everyone to 50 for the duration
void vigil
I mean I guess my ultimate question is... is the PvE endgame at max level better than WoW’s? I know that’s a charged question that’s probably been asked to death, but that’s really what I’m after. Really solid good PvE content that I don’t have to schedule 3 hour blocks 3 nights per week to do
remote lintel
i mean you do that for savage
faint flare
You can pug it
crude fractal
I’m someone who hates wow’s rigid time scheduling, and I’ve found endgame manageable
faint flare
But mileage will vary
dry jolt
Something I didn't see mentioned, if you start on a preferred server you get double XP to 70, you level twice as fast, but still have to do the full MSQ
gritty oracle
Blues only ever do T5, T9 and T13 for the morbol, and garuda/shiva ex for feather rain and glass dance. Everything else can and should be done on other, higher level classes for ease.

Hello, i wanna ask if it’s possible to solo Deltascape V4.0
patent citrus
hmm subjective I guess, definitely a lot of difference
crude fractal
You have extremes, which you can just plug 30 mins- an hour into whenever you want
void vigil
Additionally - if I roll a tank, is that the most high pressure role?
remote lintel
from what i've seen ff14's endgame is more fun that WoW because the fights have more stuff going on
no
tanking is easy
crude fractal
And savage can be pugged
patent citrus
mythic in wow fight last only what? like 5 mins top
crude fractal
At least, the early tiers
patent citrus
ultimate here, the fight lasts 15-20 mins
tawny quest
Is there an average tone?
I think it helps to think of the game and its expansions as their own games (With ARR being the longest). This is why it’s difficult to give you an average length because there’s so much variance for how long it can take.
patent citrus
much smaller party
gritty oracle
WoW raids are a clusterf
FFXIV raids are like a tightly controlled dance, if you know the steps it's easy
patent citrus
healer is also DPS here when in WoW.. healer just heal..
void vigil
Hmm ok
remote lintel
also the main difference is that every boss's attack is scripted for specific times
void vigil
Is it only 2 tanks in a party? If I roll DPS will I have trouble finding groups because there are so many?
leaden ginkgo
Hi, i have a question i wanna ask.
remote lintel
for 4 man content is 1 tank per party
and no to your second question
also you can have all classes on one character

Is it possible to solo deltascape 4.0 ?

Is there a difference between Eos and Selene?

Thunder God Cid to be very specific
crude fractal
Cidolfous technically
remote lintel
cidolfus orlandeau
gritty oracle
lol standard strat for that is to just find someone in your alliance who knows the mechs, and glue yourself to them
leaden ginkgo
The thing is i tried to solo it but I didn’t know how to deal with the doom debuff at start
twilit karma
He does mention his name in the raid itself
Even though it's not like, his actual target name
open ember
The alliances has to
Left : A
Middle: B
Right: C
crude fractal
It’s weird, because all of the other bosses in this game are addressed by name not target
open ember
Because the crush helm aoes will explode if they're too close
crude fractal
Ie, ultima or Mateus don’t have their epithets

I don't think savages can be soloed. Maybe some of the early HW ones. Even ARR savages, which is basically the entire Bahamut line on normal mode, are pretty hard to solo on some turns.
open ember
Nah
remote lintel
coils can be soloed iirc
patent citrus
even Nero?
open ember
Alexander ones up to like. A4s have to have like at least 2 people
Coils can be soloed

That's nothing. I've been in 30+ minute queues for stuff. Lol
remote lintel
18 mins is pretty normal for dps

yeah, just queue it like normal for deltascape, i remember mine popped really fast during peak time
open ember
Alexander raids and beyond can be done in DF just don't do Coils

I even waited inside the portal, lol
tawny quest
That's nothing. I've been in 30+ minute queues for stuff. Lol

I’ve only ever played casters/healers until now, but I want to try a melee dps. Which one is the closest to the magic classes?

Magic and Melee are worlds apart with their play styles but if you want an easy melee go Dragoon
Or a good introduction to Melee
crude fractal
Drag is maintaining life/blood of the dragon phase, yes?
remote lintel
yes

I think they’re at 30, so I’ll give it a shot. Would it be better to go with roulettes, dungeons, or potd for leveling?

do roulettes, potd if your queues are long, otherwise highest lvl dungeon and beast tribes at 40+

Although I should really finish rdm and ast for the soul of magic first

theyre not the same as caster magic

crude fractal
You can turn off ilevel sync
twilit arch
there's a general ilvl sync, in where your gear is going to be sync'd to the highest ilvl for that level range
so highest ilvl for 70 for instance is 400
if a dungeon has an ilvl sync on it, i.e it has that image next to it, it syncs to a specific ilvl

Face the enemies away from the party, keep aggro, use cooldowns to not die

the only way for the quest to reset it if somehow the game bugged out

for dungeons tanking is basically just running and spamming aoes

for main tanking on a trial or whatever just face the boss away
for off tanking trials and stuff pretend youre a dps

5 bosses in a gauntlet...no breaks, lots of overlapping mechanics and 1 mistake can spiral into wipes
And no checkpoints

its called ultimate for a reason
marble drift
In Ultima Weapon specifically you fight 3 primals (beefed up) then Ultima Weapon then Ultima weapon chows down on the 3 primals you just faced and goes super saiyan
so yeah. 5 bosses.

hmmm guess ill just buy it then
faint flare
I think the scale price got fucking murdered so they're cheao
manic flare
really they are considered cheap?
faint flare
Cause Bojza lock boxes drop the nidhogg weapons

it's the most expensive part

yeah older stuff gets merc'd
which is a shame. Nidhogg has nice stuff. Im a fan of the BLM staff quite a bit

raw solstice
it's a very GCD-based job, with majority casts that are longer than GCD. You have sps which can speed things up, but you're not pressing weaponskills -> using lots of oGCDs
void vigil
Realistically how much time do I need to schedule to do the endgame PVE as well
raw solstice
you have a lot of mobility at higher levels, arguably more than some casters in a lot of situations
remote lintel
as much as you want
raw solstice
(particularly WHM)
remote lintel
it depends on your static (raid group)
jade quartz
Such as instant-cast procs, abilities which ensure instant casts, and “teleportation” abilities
raw solstice
but you still spend a lot of your time just chilling and casting

What’s the most active and fast caster job?
marble drift
for pugging you could just do like an hour a week. it'll probably be slow goin but you do you

Whats enmity used for on the gladiator
remote lintel
to generate aggro
jade quartz
BLM is arguably the most mobile caster. The mobility occurs in bursts but that’s what’s actually needed for most fights.
weak escarp
Oh
jade quartz
Enmity is aggro.
remote lintel
some enemies will aggro in groups

Anyone have some tips for a beginner? I'm level 11 snd have just been focusing on side quests.
I'm an arcanist and plan on being a scholar.
I don't know if there's differences in servers, but if there is, I'm in Fearie.
these ones?
crystal bluff
Just do the msq
Everything is locked behind msq
remote lintel
yellow side quests are pretty much only for lore
jade quartz
There is no need to focus on side quests
remote lintel
focus on msq and your class quests
crystal bluff
Msq is also the fastest way to level at low levels
zinc orbitBOT
unkempt vortex
Okay, thank you
What level should I focus on msq until? I heard level 20 has mounts.
remote lintel
80
crystal bluff
80
remote lintel
you level with the story
crystal bluff
Just plow through the main story, doing class quests every 5 levels
remote lintel
after you finish each expansion/base game you can unlock the raids and stuff for it
do those too
except the binding coil of bahamut
unkempt vortex
Whats the binding coil of bahamut?
remote lintel
the 8 man raid for a realm reborn
faint flare
Endgame raid for lv50
remote lintel
its savage level and theres no point except some lore
but all the other raids you should do
marble drift
its good lore. but you should probably wait.
faint flare
Or get carries by other 80s
unkempt vortex
Okay, thank you. I have all expansions, so I should have plenty to do.
marble drift
focus on MSQ for now. stuff like raids can be unlocked later
remote lintel
you should do the raids once you finish an expac 
unkempt vortex
To switch class, you just switch weapon type right? And your level is respective to your class, correct?
crystal bluff
Yep

You can also create gearsets for fast swapping between jobs

if i have a gear glamoured to a different gear, i dont need the gear (with the appearance i want but are not using) anymore correct?
i can ditch it and nothing will happen to the glamored gear?

You should put it into your glamour dresser

Is there a market where other players sell items? And if so, can I view the item on my character if it's armor? I know there's npc armor.

Thank you

Market prices vary between worlds, so if youre trying to get the best bang for your buck, check each world on your data center
remote lintel
when you try on an item you can click the little button at the bottom that says "save/delete outfit"
and it lets you try on multiple items at once

yeah its 1 am for me rn
would someone please clarify how does the auto-demolish timer works? is it 30 days or 45 days after the last time we entered the house?
raw solstice
for malboro (and other NA servers) you'll generally be looking at hours between EST and PST. EST being the latest time, it's only 11:20pm so it's not super off-hours, especially for the weekend
ocean tartan
It takes 11 weeks to farm 520ilv gear ?

there's also consideration towards potentially picking up pieces of savage gear (i530) along the way

45 days after you last entered the house

i atm im playing the trial and at lvl 21 and im enjoying the game. what i wanted to know is if the complete edition would be the best to get or is there a better one also do i have to use the 30 day subscription right away or can i wait till im done with the trial
fringe osprey
how often does it go on sale bc its 30$ atm and do i have to register it right away or can i just hold on to it till im done with the trial
leaden ginkgo
for malboro (and other NA servers) you'll generally be looking at hours between ...
if i choose a different server, but still under crystal, what limitations are there?
faint flare
Not super often
remote lintel
it goes on sale when SE says it does
plain python
is it better for 18-hour venture or 1h-venture if I can access the game every 12h hours? 🤔
faint flare
1 hour ventures if you constantly check
plain python
yeah leveling
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo doesnt matter because you can world visit and matchmaking is across the data center
fringe osprey
so its better to buy it now for the 30$ then hold on till im done with the trial
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
fcs?
remote lintel
guilds
remote lintel
18 usd
leaden ginkgo
well thats kinda expensive for just a server change
I'm guessing i dont get one by buying the full game or dlc
silver ruin
no
ocean tartan
so its better to buy it now for the 30$ then hold on till im done with the trial
It depends on how you progress through the game. Maybe for spring sale on steam it will go on sale again for 30.
fringe osprey
i was gonna buy it straight from the SE website
remote lintel
you can hold on to the code
ocean tartan
Yup
fringe osprey
ok so go for complete edition and activate it after i finish trial
fringe osprey
ok thank you for the help

fastest way to level up a chocobo is just feeding it root every hour?

They can

Puppet bunker, allegory tomes

it's asking me to discard
lime geode
Ok, i have 1200 allegory tomes
faint flare
Upgrade allegory gear via the coins from nier raids

In Eulmore?

Yes
The upgrades need 1 manufactured coin and 1 puppet coin each to take the gear to i500

Heyo... I'm a little confused about this mahjong hand? isn't this a winning hand...

Is it the neo-isgardian and then upgrade Vinyl?

Some hands can’t become winning hands when you pon or chi

Which vendor?
craggy crypt
i didn't pon or chi though before this
heady knot
farming crys atm so i can do some savage may be
faint flare
Though upgraded neo ishgardian would push you to i490

i drew and this is what i got
i think...
i don't remember anymore it's been a half hour googling an answer
faint flare
The people are with the tome vendors
leaden ginkgo
Question about Animus Zodiac weapon, where do I buy the books? G'jusana in Revenant's Toll doesn't offer them now
obsidian patio
All those tiles to the right are pon/chi’d tiles
craggy crypt
Yea
faint flare
You need to finish 5.0 for the tome vendors
craggy crypt
unless there is a special rule regarding pairs
lime geode
I just finished 5.3
brave sky
@craggy crypt based on my knowledge of regular mahjong (which might not be 1:1) opening your hand (pon'ing or chi'ing at all) locks you out of certain yaku for the rest of the round
craggy crypt
So my current hand doesn't have any valid yaku
so i'm done for...?
Wait I just got a pop-up
brave sky
yeah so a lot of yaku are closed hand only
lime geode
Ok- helpful now that I know where to spend tomes of allegory - should Umbra be my next stop for a weapon? Currently have i485.
brave sky
so if you have all pairs but your hand is open you'll be in furiten which means
basically you're hoping for the tiles to run out so you don't get ron'd or something
and then you can move on to the next round
rigid maple
Hey so I downloaded the game and it gave me two different CD keys one for a starter edition and another for shadowbringers standard edition I tried putting the latter in and it didn’t work so I put the first one and it worked fine but idk why steam gave me two CD keys in the first place 
faint flare
You need to clear the 4th fight of Eden promise, Eternity 7 times, once a week and get 1k revelation for a 520 weapon
faint flare
Emerald extreme is a good stop gap
lime geode
I think Umbra is before Eternity?
brave sky
oh yeah that's probably useful lol
faint flare
Umbra is the first fight
lime geode
Gotcha. I'll look up Emerald extreme
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Loot each floor drops
lime geode
Thanks, that's helpful.

faint flare
Hey so I downloaded the game and it gave me two different CD keys one for a star...
Because starter edition is the base game and Shadowbringers is Dlc
brave sky
@lime geode also min ilvl requirement for emerald extreme is 500, so just keep that in mind
faint flare
You cant use dlc for a game you dont yet own
lime geode
Ah I'm only 485
lime geode
So just keep running puppet bunker?
rigid maple
I’m guessing the game needs to finish the download before I can do that?
brave sky
loot from the newest normal eden raids is 510, and the revelation gear is 520 so if you get enough of that stuff it should push you over
faint flare
Buy Exarchic id yoy want a quick boost
No once yoy out in the starter edition code you can put in Shadowbringers
Because its marked as owned on Mogstation
lime geode
Yeah I don't have enough for a revelation piece yet
brave sky
yeah, depending on how much money you have then I would just recommend buying exarchic and/or running eden's promise
you can run puppet's and copied for the tokens but it's just soul sucking imo
lime geode
uhh 3M - haven't really spent much
brave sky
you can afford a full set of 510 then if you want it, I think it's about 1.5m rn
lime geode
I just started playing again after a few months off so I don't mine running puppet bunker and copied factory a bit.
brave sky
yeah from ads on PF i'm seeing sets for 1.2mil so whatever suits you really
I did a mix - ran the raids for a few pieces and bought the others

What’s the summoner play style like?
They juggle dots and control a pet while cycling through their trances, creating different phases with bursts every minute and filler inbetween
Its the most infamous job of having the longest rotation/opener/to when it starts to repeat itself

Once you break it down its fine and flows
