i think you can unlock DRK as soon as you get to Ishgard
yes
How can I write into that novice network?
nothing in my chat and all I see are system MSGs and gil sellers
Keep in mind, you can't unlock your first job stone until you have gotten sufficiently far in the A Realm Reborn Main Story Quest, @subtle lake
They're level 53, they should be far enough
So if you've out leveled the MSQ, you might not have the option
they did already
Ah
so just one last thing, when I can unlock the dark boy. do I keep my current level? is it just a change of job - thansk @potent tapir I must be fairly near the end of RR as I am fighting mechs etc now after
no
Jobs level independently
Some people are weird though and get to like 50 before getting that far because they do all the side content. So I can never tell.
DRK starts at 30
each class has its own level and drk starts at 30

hi
Yes?
New here, is that too late for the ultimate weapon ?
ahhh ok separate class got it
what do you mean ultimate weapon
the binky weapon from alexder
Dark Knight can be unlocked by getting to the Heavensward expansion main story, @subtle lake
because I cannot find any party to the savage eden gate for unlock the duty
That's because it's old
just means no one is running it rn
thanks all, I will crack on and get the dark boy sorted. big help
e9s ?
The ultimate weapons are basically cosmetic, aren't they? People don't want them for stats
Ultimate is very very hard. You can't pug it.
how reasonable is a 515 ilvl requirement at this stage?
Then you'll have to clear e8s (?) I think to unlock TEA
515 means you have at least half revelation or savage gear
so I just keep going to eden promise and savage then
its e4s
Put up a party yourself if you can't find one
I'd say 510 is reasonable unless you want to pug like 12.
now my avg item level just meet 500
its basically the hardest content in the game, so its not really a viable goal for someone with a fresh 80
bis for TEA is different
just wondering because well... I've seen this up for quite a while lol
I am in Tonberry anyway
How do I use my chocobo to attack?
@weak escarp did you unlock the companion
Yeah I got the mount
blade of lost antiquity
lvl 30 quest "my feisty little chocobo"
also do the quest "bird in hand" after that
Have you cleared any EXs?
I assume not cause you just hit 80
i'm noticing a huge amount of bots on my world. is there anything i can do to help the GMs out? how do i report these guys? o:
SE will ban them anyway
the duty finer tick makes me sick >< Really want every duty have a tick on it .... but some duty needs longtime lol now I just keep duty find tick maximum amount to search
what are you trying to do
I really want to get into eden gate sepulture savage at least once
spending an hour in a roulette queue isnt normal right?
somehow the seat of sacrifices extreme also waited a week already
its gotta be a bug
not hour ,. near 2-4 weeks ...
not a bug

I don't imagine you'll find anyone for either of those regularly since they're both old
is so true
last time isgard restoration makes every duty sudden stopped after the restoration no body gonna play previous thing
Sigh
hard to catch in this game sometimes
can you eat/fully benefit from foods/potions if you're lower level than them?
no
depends on the food and your level. In some cases, you will get a larger bonus from eating food closer to your level
you wont meet the stat caps from the food most likely
say, eating lvl 80 food synched as a lvl 50
like if it's +5% crit (max 100) and 5% of your crit is less than 100 then its kind of a loss
if you just want exp then eat any cheap food
nah stats is what im after
im planning to make a group for running old content synched and wanted to know if i could just make 80 food and be done with it or if i'd have to research old food picks
yeah should be fine
Actually, it looks like i480 food gives a really large %
so it would be better than lower level food, which isn't how they used to do it, so I stand corrected
well i guess between tthat and higher ilvl gear we'd be "cheating" a bit compared to when the content was current but cba to "fully synch" myself, too much work
also do you need to finish all the blue mage quests to get the class quest completion achievments?
does anyone know what the adventurer in need exp bonus is?
the achievements for like "get all Disciple of Magic to level 80" do not include BLU
hello, I'm still new to this game xD I have a question, whenever I try to make an account, after I enter the 8 digits code for registering my account, it always gives me an error, the error code is i2501.. I've tried to google what's the problem, and I don't have any vpn on, my internet connection is fine, I even tried in my phone with mobile data but it's still the same..
Does anyone have the same problem or have the fix to this? Thank you so much!
@oak radish i think its that xp but not sure
oh it actually says
p sure it also says "you obtain x xp for being an adventurer in need" after the dungeon ends as well
there are those achievments but there are also achievments for finishing the class' quests which is what i was wondering about
what npc can i exchange my tomes of phantasmagoria at
Auriana in Mor Dhona, in the tent where you spend Poetics
since those are discontinued you can trade them for allegory tomes at revenant's toll
can you be a craft AND battle mentor or do you have to pick one
okay thank u !
You can be both
You'll have just the 
Or choose whichever you wanna display
Otherwise you only get the 1 or other crown if you don't meet both prerequisite
There are achievements for leveling BLU to 60 but I don't see any for doing the BLU quests
though there are several related to the Masked Carnival which unlocks after doing the quests to 50
so I want to hide Item description but still have easy access to it
I put potion in my hotbar and the description is annoying
only thing I can do is either let it appear all the time or never on any item
Is there something in between like right clicking and info to get the description?
Action help is a thing you can move around in hud layout
Also you can change the positioning of the other help window in char config
oh found it thx
I changed Action help position
but items have Item help 😅
thx
does cover also cover knockback?
as in, covering the guy during a kb mech would propel the pld even further for having 2 kbs on them unless they arms length?
Yah cover eats the displacement for your target as well
Is a gimmicky way to cheese uptime for your melees
Not entirely sure the displacement is doubled on the paladin
It is
I remember seeing videos of Paladins getting fucking send flying if they covered Shinyrus knockback in phase 2 transition
now really stupid question
is there just one type of dance emote or not?
and if there is more how to get them?
hmm wow, so if you cover someone, the target will not be knockback'd but you will? 🤔
Yes
Cover treats its so as if you're getting hit instead of the covered target
just by finishing all blue/msq alone you will get like 4+ variety
nice so not just the basic one 😄
I have a question. have me via square enix store the digital Colletors collection bought in the sale. I already have the game with all dlc but without the collectors edition. Can I redeem it anyway?
which product are you referring to?
I see cases when someone bought complete collector edition and they got 2 codes instead of 1
idk maybe you can try to buy the one in different platform
that way you can play in 2 different platform + get the collector edition
for example if you are playing on PC, you can get the complete edition + collector on PS4? 🤔
that way you won't waste the complete edition code..
but wait a minute and wait for someone who has more knowledge and experience helped you further
missed the responses from earlier. thank you for the information 👍
why is the moogle primal crafted weapons so much more expensive than all the other ARR primal crafted weapons?
some go as high as HW and even SB crafted weapons in some servers
because they look silly, probably

They also require farming GKMM, which there's literally no other reason to do
what is gkmm?
whereas the other primals have mount drops
Thornmarch (Extreme)
Good King Moggle Mog
Some of the moogle weapons arguably look better than the other primal weapons
Also they're quite gimmicky silly with the kupo sound effect
When you unsheathe and sheathe them
Hey this isn’t a question about ffxiv but where can I recruit for map parties
Party finder
how to get all 500 gear item level fast?
or+
castrum Marinum need 500 il ... I am stuck with the weekly thing ?
Fast: buy HQ Exarchic
Without gil: Farm allegory for Crystarium and upgrade it (buy the upgrade items for Sacks of nuts or by exchanging the two Nier raid coins for an upgrade item)
Will try the crystarium but it seem only can boost to 500 il other than that still need to farm the cryptlurker
does not matoya's relict drop also over ilvl500 gear?
485
oh.. ok.
uh, then i guess you can attempt to farm tier 2 savage, or what ilvl is normal tier 3 .
Tier 3 ilvl is 510
Eden's Promise also drops items redeemable for 510 gear
What do you do with antique gear? Like it's not actually gear but can't be sold
You can trade it for ARR AF gear
at least you'll be guaranteed gear
also sometimes cannot find match easily
are you on JP server?
tonberry
make sure you have the japanese language setting enabled
even the unreal titan .... I waited whole day only can play one time
yeah all langauge
typically not all content is uses duty finder to queue
I have 2 characters so I know people only do newest thing
peek into party finder
party also no one join
Unreal, extreme and savage no one does in duty finder
i know jp does use df for reclearing but not always
everyone are now in eden promise ending savage
I just keep wait a long time
it is also many times they said the grouping time is under 5 minute
and 1 hours already gone
and the party finer and duty finer cannot combine to use thats really annoying haha anyway
There may be a lot of veterans who remember Titan EX and have no interest in Unreal <.<
somehow the duty finer usually have people join but just a little maybe
tank 1 dps 2 healer 0 something thats usually happen
finder
while seeing someone come, I just think of waiting .... but and an hour gone again
it makes everything not gonna happen party finder not much people come, duty finer cannot search for players haha
Tonberry already is a most people server in JP one
They catch up so quick anyway I know that. But this time I just thinking how to catch up with them maybe the only way really need at least 500 to get the emld weapon as soon as possible
always that one fuck
@solar bay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZlDMkfn80c
Wrong channel
where do you get the throw gil emote
oh shit, thoughti was in #general-discussion
Does this game offer better coop than black desert?
sure?
Hey guys, im a new player on the crystal server, and I was wondering if there was a way to party up with other players doing free roam/guild questing? It feels really weird just roaming the world by myself especially in a FF game haha
uhh, question, if i were to buy the game, can i access my account and play without buying anything from ps4, or do i need to make a new account/rebuy the game
and theres not really any point to party for overworld stuff
Ok, thanks!
@leaden ginkgo you would need to buy the game again but you can access your character
yes
thats awesome
its just the licensing for different platforms require you buy it again, and some stuff like HuD changes dont carry over
or macros
you can upload your character and system settings
Is there a way to opt out of player search so I don't get tell'd for FC invites?
you could set your status to busy but that blocks all tells
Oh yeah, uh, if my friends play on a different world, but on the same server, can i make a character in the world they play in or am i stuck with the one i chose?
So I'm stuck in Zalera then? that kinda sucks
no you can visit other worlds on your data center
you can't if youre on different worlds
So if i want to play with them i have to make a new account and select their world
a new character yes
so worlds are character wise and not account wise
yes
alright i get it now

Another question about the full game, i wanted to play as one of the DLC races, do i get a race change buying the game + dlc or do i have to make a new character?
You get the item that allows race changing after completing the base arr story
At lv50
you dont get a free character edit besides that
alright, only one last question, i hope
I come from guild wars 2 and in there, theres some extra character customization options locked behind a makeover kit, new hairstyles, faces, etc etc, is there anything like this in here that i should worry about or does the base character creation already have everything?
you can unlock hairstyles and thats it
and viera and hrothgar dont get the extra hairstyles
update internet explorer, use a vpn, try using your phones wifi hotspot
It's been like that ever since I restarted my laptop
Been using my phone Hotspot only
is it better to farm elemental crystals etc on lower level nodes or it doesn't matter
Doesn’t matter
Hey guys, I'm a returning player and all I ever wanted to do was play triple triad so now I'm a bit lost after relogging years later and trying to play the game lol I bought a cosmetic set of gear and I'm wondering if there is a way to boost it's level or upgrade it's stats since it's all level 1?
Just hit level 39 and finally became a Dragoon. I don't have access to Elusive Jump though. Am I missing something to activate it?
Its meant to be used for transferring the look onto other pieces of gear
Job quests
oooh, gotcha. Like transmog in WOW?
Yes
So how do I go about transmogging? Is there a shop keep I go to?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Gotcha, thanks. So I essentially make the cosmetic into a glamour prism and then I can put that onto any item?
oh ok. So every time I get new armour I just need to have a glamour prism and then I can change it to my cosmetic gear again?
yep

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Use glamour plates
To save preset looks
Then link to gear sets for easy application when you use the gear set
Sweet, ok
Thanks a bunch, guess I'll go do that quest then!
I guess one last unreleated question, is there a way to get more cards for triple triad aside from buying them in the golden saucer?
you get them as drops from trials and dungeons and stuff
And as rewards from beating Npcs
Randomly
And buying from some special vendors
They're fucking everywhere
okeedoke, cool. And if I did just want to grind out points in Golden Saucer, what's the best way? Just play all the games or is there a way to transfer gil to points?
!faq mgpguide
NPCs with a star on a card over their heads have a card you can win from them
Do weekly gs challenge logs, daily and weekly cactpot, weekly fashion report
And gates
is there any time i should look forward to to be able to make a character on malboro?
Then if you still wanna grind you can do chocobo racing or suffer while hitting the tree game near the chocobo square
Late at night
Or early in the morning
!status malboro
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
when would "late at night" be from now? I'm not on the US so my timezone is different
8-9ish hours
fun
Hello. I plan to start my journey with FFXIV but I decided to ask about things firstly. So, I know it's type of the game which is based on quests and dungeons. There is no serious grind like in some MMO where you have to kill monsters 24/7. Any short reviews or sth like that? Would be really helpful
Uh, well, you don't kill monsters 24/7 luckly.
but this is a pve game, so you will kill, monsters, and npc's.
mostly its just "follow the msq, and do what you want"
but if you are looking for relic grinding, aka bozja, then its basically kinda 24/7 monster killing as an alternative, if that is what you like.
This is a theme park mmo
You're either going from moment to moment or you're replaying dungeons and boss battles most of the time
^
you wont be farming 100s of the same mob in the overworld
also
isnt bozja the slow way of getting relic weapons
You need to do bozja to unlock them
ah
but yeah, dungeon farming for bozja relic was just a daily alternative, so you would not have to grind them so much
Hey! I'm also thinking about trying the game but the website of the payment is a bit off to me, I heard there's a discount going so I wanna buy all the content. So I should go for this one FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition right?
If you don’t have the base game, then yes
whats the difference between those two?
just cosmetic stuff?
Yep
can you get it later? like by paying the difference?
do you need to finish all the blue mage quests to get the class quest completion achievments?
not the "get to x lvl" but the class quests achievment

yes, you can get the upgrade later if you want
Yeah you can digitally upgrade to collector’s edition through the mogstation
The base game and each expansion has their own collector’s edition
for complete edition upgrade it costs 80$, but per expansion collectors its 20$.
Besides the Heavensward edition which also has a race/gender change item, they’re all a mix of vanity items like mounts/minions/vanity weapons and gear
but there was a time that collectors edition upgrade had a discount. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/88dc959aae42bd76e74427b7f4351d34d715822d
I tried to play trial but when I try to download the client and create an account they want me to enter the 20 number registration code that comes with the game you bought :-/
You need to download the trial client
did you download the free trial client
!faq freetrialdownload
did you download the trial client
!faq freetrial
sad i was slow
Is there any promo code I should use to checkout?
I don't think there are any atm
no
oh okey, thank you for all the help! Cant wait to try the game
also, if you thinking of getting the non-collectors edition, the upgrade is rarely discounted, so getting the collectors edition would be cheaper now with 50 off, than upgrading later.
Sale is in pinned tweets
Complete collector’s edition only has Shadowbringers collectors in it
but for upgrade it's not discounted.
It doesn’t have all 4
Wynne pinned it a while ago
Just get complete edition.
according to
https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/product/565240/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-collector-s-edition-pc-download
https://img.thaun.dev/fdyvp.png
it does include all of collectors edition
in the features tab
unless we are talking about a different platform
you should only get it if you want the digital cosmetics
if they dont want it then it doesnt matter
he did ask if he could buy it later, so that he seems interested in it.
im just saying it is a cheaper to get it now, than get it later if he wants it.
How hard are extreme trials in comparison to savage raids? Is there any difference?
extreme is a bit easier than savage
Extreme trials are usually about the same difficulty as the first floor or two of a savage tier
But can be easier
So would it be a good idea to do extreme trials as a sort of practice for savage raids
Not really, but it is an ok start.
if youve never done savage yes
it's a step down from savage and gives oyu a good idea of what to expect
how often do the glam pieces go on sale in the store?
been eyeing a piece for awhile now, but wondering if SE tends to have sale on these things
is savage equal to ultimate in difficulty?
it's easier, usually
But only just, since they're shorter and less mechanically intensive
See: TEA enigma codex, UwU LB charges
what difficulty level is shinryu ministrel ballad?
extreme
One of the easier extremes, actually, since it was introduced in one of the earlier stormblood patches so it's one of the easiest to cheese unsynced as well
how do you cheese shinryu?
undersized party unsync
Ultimates you cannot unsync so that's one of the reasons why they remain hard
However the DPS checks are easy since the ShB reworks also buffed every job at 70 so it's just an issue of mechanical knowledge now
how do i switch instances
uhhh
I don't think instances are active currently
Pet hotbar or press your Stance button
Dismount by default should be bound to Z
does ps4 have it
yes
my friend has a number 2 next to their name and i have a number 1 and since i cant see them i'm assuming we're in different channels
where is the pet hotbar?
should replace hotbar 1 normally
ive still got hotbar 1
Send a screenshot
if you're in a party then that's just the number your friend is on your party list
ive still got all my hotbars actually
Your hotbar usually changes to have only the dismount button during duties to have actions needed when mounted
Press r1
TY
Party slot number
you're in the same area
That's your local party slot number
and instance
y cant i see them
You're just too far away from each other
They're out of range
Check your map for your friends location
It's a blue dot by default
the blue dot is so tiny
does anyone have a guide on how to change your chocobo color?
Anyone who is not a dps trying to run some dungeons with me xD im trying to level my new thaum up a bit.
Try your party finder or local DC chat.
Can't help you due to Data center shenanigans
Where do you buy poetic gear in SB? Ralgh reach?
Or the Rowena vendors in Kugane
Correct. But it doesn’t open until after you finish the quest named Stormblood
I need to finish the story first?
yea
Kay
The final 4.0 quest is aptly just Stormblood
goes for every expansion really
Except ARR but that's the exception
Is the last zone of SB as azys la with currents?
Sigh
Azyz lla is Heavensward
No, I meant
no, you have to collect currents, only one is granted by the MSQ
Hate to see it
Azys Lla is the only zone that gives you all current along the story path.
Time to ignore all side quests
Im having trouble downloading the game, I went to that link www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/ and download the installer, but everytime I click accept nothing happens (I already executed the program with admin perms)
re: Sharp Turn, aren't they all facing the same direction>
?
Like, forward toward the interior of the arena?
When they begin to cast Sharp Turn, they recenter and turn to face a certain direction.
So if the blade and facing are on the same side, they cut outside. If the blade is opposite the facing, its inside
Yes
Thanks. That makes a bit more sense than outside-inside.
Hey, just dinged 80 and finish the Main story, what's the fastest way to gear up if I wanna play end game content with my buddies
buy Exarchic gear off the marketboard
Fastest by far is purchasing High Quality crafted gear but it can get rather expensive.
without paying
Hunt trains to farm allegory
Buy the 490 crystarium
Then you're basically mostly good
hmm aight
Nier raids/sacks of.nuts get you stuff to upgrade crystarium to i500
Run eden promise weekly for 510 tokens
Edens Promise gear also looks pretty neat if you just want glams, too
what was the bot command to see floors drop in savage
i don't remember what 11 drops
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
Oh expanded
How can I install the game client?
Does death reset your enmity?
Yes
Pray answear this, what should I do if I wanna change mine apearance (In FFXIV) but I do not own nor have the sum of cash needed to buy me'self an Fantasia potion, nor do I wana restart the entier f'in' game.
You get one free fantasia after clearing base Arr story at lv50 with The ultimate weapon
Otherwise you have to pay money
Darn it, I'm at Stormblood and all I can say is I dO not have the energy to re'play the game.
The heavensward collector’s edition gives a Fantasia to all characters and future ones you make, along with other things
Pray tell me how much is it for the Collector's edition.
I need help. I just got the free trial for the game on steam and i want to get the full version on steam but when i look it up it says Purchase a registration code for either a physical or digital version, and in steam i see starter edition, complete edition bundle, and shadowbringers. Im so confused, can someone help?
if you want to buy the entire game get the complete edition
on steam
the complete edition is just the starter + shadowbringers in one package
Anyone know a good set of dragoon armor I can buy that looks good? Just got the dragoon pack to get me to level 70
the job gear from the calamity salvager
@wise junco you can get the level 50 and 70 set from the calamity salvager
theres also no benefit to being overlevel in the story
in the main cities
next to the mail moogles
How much is it for full set?
Barely anything
I an basically a new player i haven't played since heavensward and I had to remake a new account lol
theyre cheap in case people lose them
Do I have to follow the story to get to a main city?
You start in a main city
the main cities are the starter cities
the calamity salvager there should be in mih khettos amphitheater
Lmao next to the mail moogle u said right
yes
Bet, where do I join a guild at? Is that like in game or discord affiliated
in game
Ask people for invites
but #603040697884475393 or the community finder on lodestone is where people post at
Got you, thanks friends
thx cerberus
Holy shit i am one sexy boy now that's what I'm talking bput

Are we able to change armor color?
if it has a circle in the corner of the icon its dyeable
Got yiu, thanks again
Is there any statistical breakdowns for Kupo of Fortune?
Like, if 1st prize has a marginal % likelihood of being on one square versus another?
No
RNGesus take the wheel.
If I remember right we can't use mounts till a certain story mission right
well if you want the first prize, you choose the right side. if you only want the 3 in the middle, you choose the left side
I bought the flying dragon and im like where he at tho
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Btw, when you buy stuff from mogstation, it doesn't just shows up in your bag
You need to collect it from moggle mail officer (or whatever they are called)
Yeah I had bought some other stuff and picked it up and didn't see mount but got you, appr8 the help
When i buy the game on steam, will it give the subscription options and stuff in the process?
The only difference between steam and standalone is the platform requirements for where you buy the game
Everything else is done via Mogstation
Though, steam does let you use regional pricing + steam wallet for sub fees
how do i make the game display an enemies hp %?
Character config > ui > hud > right at the bottom
Displau target remaining hp percent
thx
I've completed multiple gold saucer challenge logs and I still haven't gotten a recruit notification
How come?
its rng
Bruh
If you do Squadrons in your gc sometimes they'll give you an item that boosts your chance of a recruit
Yo
I'm a lv34 gladiator, when do I get to hit paladin or other classes like that
Or do I have to finish the main story
after you finish your level 30 job quest and unlock the paladin quests
I have DirectX 12 installed, do I need DX 11 as well to install the game?
Main quest level 20 when you depart for the East Shroud. Then you can unlock Paladin by finishing your Gladiator class quests.
@lavish tulip the game runs on dx11 and dx9
Are the weapons from mog station any good? Like star seeker bow
Or grimiore wing
theyre for fashion
So basically you equip to look nice, but would be useless against enemies?
There is no pay to win elements in the shop. Some minor conveniences yes but nothing that gives you a clear edge.
You glamour its look onto your actual gear
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
no
No
you can do it as many times as you have glamour prisms
or you can put it into the glamour dresser
Much appreciated

HUGE Thanks to my Patreon Sponsors, who make this ...
this goes into detail
I don't want to buy something with real money tl find out I screwed up.
most of the mog station stuff is just cosmetic
Nothing you can buy with real money will affect you at endgame
You can skip over story and leveling progression, but not really with endgame progression
And it's only most of the way. You'll still have to do the latest expansion story + the last 10 levels to cap respectively
where i cand a triple triad guide?
How long would you say it takes to do patch 5.1-5.3 skipping everything?
a few hours?
Couple hours if skipping
They're not that long
Small handful of quests each with a dungeon per patch
If you have been paying attention to 5.0 story
Don't skip 5.1-5.3 those cutscene aren't that long tbh
why is somone always arguing about skipping
im leveling an alt
well
gearing now
If you are leving an alt, it implies you know the story, so why you ask the time it takes to skip?
because i dont remember well how long it took?
was just seeing if i can do it tonight or should sleep
wanna get some pages b4 lockout and tomorrow wont have too much time 😦

Melee players. Are positionals as annoying as I think they'll be?
!faq positional
And 90% of the time you'll be right at the butt where you'll need to be anywags
You don't need to be on 6 o'clock perfectly to hit the rear positional
So you can hover around, say, 7 o'clock for your rear
Then move to 8 o'clock for your flank positional
Cause Im considering playing a diff class cause I realised.... playing msq as healer wasnt gonna be very enjoyable when i have 3 dps spells.
Healer do get faster dungeon queue though
But like. im just not sure about any of the ranged but then i consider dps then I look back at how long queues are and im
I personally suggest playing a tank
Worried about tank responsibility?
That and also tank just. doesnt. fit. character at all,,,,
the fun part of healing isnt from dpsing
I've done the MSQ as CNJ/WHM a few times now. The lack of dps variety isn't... that bad.
The fun part is being able to control the life and death of your party member
And make them beg you
^
Ahem ahem
Yes I know the fun oart of healing is in the group content. But in in HW and would like to do my MSQ
WHM actually gets more fun in HW with the addition of Assize, imo
the dps queues arent even that bad
You still only have... four total dps spells, but Assize is really fun.
Summoner, fun to blast stuff
Scholar, fast dungeon queue
looks at you in 45 min BLM queue
thats not the average
true average is more like 15-25
The furniture thing that has your retainer standing on the yard
what do you mean by that?
Hey all, I have a question. I’ve been playing for a few days and I have the free trial for 30 days. I think I’m going to buy the complete edition, which is $29.99. However, it says it comes with 30 days of free play time and also says ” The 30 day free play. Included with purchase can only be applied once to each platform on a single service account. Moreover, this 30 day free play. It is not applicable two platforms on which a license has already been registered.” Does that mean I won’t get the free 30 days of play time since it gave me a free trial to try out the game?
i've never summoned my retainer to the FC
theres an outdoor furniture where you can place your retainer
if you dont have one of those then dont mind it
@marsh flower it means when you buy the game you get 30 free days where you dont have to sub
so this message just pops up regardless if i have placed my retainer in the FC?
Nope. The free trial and the free game time are different
u can keep playing on the free trial without a sub?
no
Thank you all, I appreciate it! The free trial has some limits, like I can’t use the market and stuff, so that’s why I thought about buying it early before the trial is over
once you buy the game you cant go back to trial
I’m not too worried about losing the trial, just as long as it didn’t make me lose any progress I’ve made 😅
the trial doesnt have a time limit
Is the Steam version up to date with the square Enix launcher version? I’d prefer to buy it on steam
Yes
Awesome, thanks!!!
are there new timers in garland tools for aethersand?
A friend of mine is saying he keeps getting kicked out of Bardam's mettle, at least he thinks. He hasn't even been able to engage the first boss yet, he's a tank. And what happens is "Well I was standing there, wait to pull the boss (I just like everyone to be in the arena before I do so, was probably like 10 seconds) I was moving around, they wern't. Next thing I know I back by Hien, Lyse and Gosetsu", he's not getting any notification as to what is happening. Just a fade to black.
Any idea what's happening or what he could be doing wrong?
Sounds like a kick
You dont get any notification or anything of a kick...just that you leave the party
What gear is he using?
Slightly low
Any tips on servers that wont end up having character creation limits? Can't ever seem to get all my friends on the same one due to they going grey when we all try.
He's a tad low
Do it late at night @hearty pine
Should be near 270 if not above
Is there some way to tell how far into the MSQ I am? Like a tracker?
Theres a red/white window that tells you
Which quest to do next
Has job quests underneath as well
But specifically a progress tracker no
Yeah I know how to follow the questline but I'm wondering how much left I have of heavensward 😛
Top left
You'd be best off looking at the quest chain in a wiki to gauge it
what does the community finder consider an 'active member'? or is that set manually
damn some1 should make an website for that XD

@jade lava those are all the members
ah okay ty
Does anyone else think that new crafting gear/augmentation will come next patch? I don't think they would leave the highest IL at 500
exarchic gear is 510
No
There's no more crafting/gathering gear
There's no need for it
Aethese is BiS until the end
Exception of tools after the relic updates probably
Hmm
X.3 is always the patch they add BiS crafting/gathering gear
Ok cool, I've been tryna decide whether to go for the Aesthetes but I didn't wanna invest and then suddenly new crafting gear comes ou
They add new crafting gear prior to patches that bring new crafted combat gear
Since there's no more, no need for more crafted gear
should I sell dragonskin map I dig up, or should I find a party to do them?
for BLM do I want the Shire Philosopher or Shire Preceptor accessories?
whichever one gives intelligence
Can you get a macro to automatically repeat? Or is that impossible
you always want whatever gear gives you intelligence because mind is a useless stat as a DPS caster
I love bard
thx
No you cant
What does 'bug out, royal in' mean?
Aw bummer, but I made my first macro and I'm still proud of that ^^
Can you give the fight/duty name for context? Doesn’t sound immediately familiar
Thanks
which boss is this?
its mudman, A rank in il mheg
Hunt mob
whats an ideal next step with cul after getting it to 80? im kinda lost
Gear yourself, then craft raid food
leveling is the easier part of maxing a doh ... gearing is the tough part
you mean to enter"
yea
could get aug crystarium, cryptlurker, exarchic
ok ty
Is the Starlight Robe only available through the Mog Station? Thought there was a quest for it
only on mog
Previous year seasonal items go to the mogstation
Ah thanks
what is sword oath
What's this year's seasonal item? Just the prism thing?
the mount
Oh riiight
It’s a stacking buff earned from Royal Authority that lets you use Atonement 3 times.
So at 76 your GCD rotation becomes Goring Blade combo > Royal Authority combo > Atonement x3 > repeat
how would I go about contacting someone to make an offer on their house?
Send them a tell? You can’t really trade housing anymore unless it’s an FC plot

Should i use Assize off-cooldown for biggest uptime on it's damage or keep it as OGCD healing source? 
Due to the plot lockout timer when it becomes empty
Use for damage+MP
I generally only hold it for healing if I only have to hold for like 5 seconds
man this property is really nice and close to my friend's house
so I looked up the owner on the lodestone and... they don't exist
gochu, thanks
I have a question about btn. Is there somewhere that I learn all of the level 50 skills (scour, brazen woodsman, meticulous woodsman, and scrutiny)? I thought I've done all of the quests up to 60
Grab the quest “Inscrutable tastes” in Ishgard near the leve people
oh, that explains it, I wasn't looking there
!faq dolcollect
Those skills are used for a different system of gathering that rivals leves for experience
really new to the game but i need to know how to i add hotkeys to the ui so i can change class quickly?
Drag gearsets from the character menu onto your hotbar
ok i see thx
what about adding more hot key to the display i see the one with number and ctrl ones
How do I get the snowman bell? I just turned level 15 which is required and I want to get it before it leaves.
Character config > hotbar settings
That lets you add more hotbars and change their shape if desired
Complete all the seasonal quests in new old Gridania at the amphitheater, there’s like 5 or 6 and they all go by fast if you skip cutscenes
Do I have to go to a certain location to activate the quests?
It’s right by the moogle mail
@remote lintel thanks, I don't have old dridanja unlocked yet, so I will continue the story
Man autocorrect hates us
Okay, so now that I've got my skysung tool my blacksmith can make exarchic stuff
Now... what do I need for my miner/botanist to get that same success?
how do i start crafting as a black smith like is there a spot where im suppose to do it at?
You start off at Limsa Lominsa
i did that already and spoke to the guild leader
it told me to craft and iron inget
but idk what to press to craft
Are you a miner?
no not yet
Then go to Ul'dah and pick that up
Yeah.... You're gonna want to go and pick up every crafting and gathering job.
Iron's pretty high up. Are you sure the leader is asking for that?
the materials for 1-15 are all on the guild vendors
I had to crawl through glass to level up back in 5.0
The ores you need are at the vendors by the guild. As for accessing it, in your log tab there's Crafting log. You use that interface.
so buy what you need from them, they're near the armour guildmaster
also to actually switch to blacksmith, you need to equip their mainhand
Then 5.1 came around and just came in like Grandma "Oh you're so skinny."
Like by the time I got to the 60 mining quest, I couldn't even touch the nodes needed for the quest!
how do i retrieve a gearset i bought from the FF store?
would it show up automatically in my inventory?
all items bought from the store are sent to your mail
you'll receive mog mail
how long does that take?
📫
usually a few minutes, though sometime s can take a bit longer
depending on the item and whether the system is being slow/bogged down
10 - 1 hrs if not just press send/received button

okay so im pretty sure its explained somewhere but i must have missed it
What happened to Ala Mhigo
imperial occupation 20 years ago
oh shit
ive been trying to spiritbond these lvl 1 items on lvl 5 mobs in central thanalan but they haven't gone up at all. what am i doing wrong? usually this works :/
Ala mihgo picked fight with gridania. Get wrecked by elementals. "Autumm war"
Their last king went crazy and executed all the monks because he thinks they are going to overthrow him in a coup (they weren't). Remaining citizens thought that was a good idea and formed a rebellion. Garlean supported the rebels. Rebels overthrew the king. Garlean invaded right after and everybody is sick of fighting and rolled over. Thats how the garleans occupied ala mihgo without a single garlean casualty.
If you need a little, i think roulette and ARR FATEs drop seals. Also you can turn in green dungeon gear to comapny quartermaster for seals. Those are the most lucrative.
what dungeons are the fastest for the 6 memories for relic?
people are running antitower for that i believe
Overworld enemies don’t or barely spiritbond now. It’s mainly from completing duties
what's all this stuff for?
They’re exchange tokens for materia
Clusters and matter for combat materia, crystals and demimatter for crafter/gatherer
thx
so currently im lvl 42 and im trying to find the quest for my class to learn blizzard 3 but i cant find the person i need to talk to do you guys know where that npc is at?
@obsidian patio how do i spiritbond lvl 1 gear now? T_T
The first few guildhests and dungeons
alright, thanks
are any of the hw fate areas faster than others
for memories
or do i just pick one of the two whatever i feelk
mmk
i need 9k cos trying to farm rank so i can do the hunt
Expert delivery will be fastest. There is a shortcut way if yoh have poetics
Use poetics buy tome gear.
are leves the way to go for leveling DoH 70-80?
Turn in tome gear for seals
Leves or diadem
got it
Remember to do mean quest
whats that for?
Cryatallin mean quest gives good exp
oh alright then

My game started now, the AV deleted my DX11 game file
Is there a tophat in this game that isn't class locked? I know there's that 270 one for casters
Off the top of my head, no.
What are the meta foods this tier
Didn't the fancy stuff from Gold Saucer have top hat?
Smoked Chicken, I think.
Hi everyone here. I'm a new player, downloading the game for the first time. Looking for tips before I start while the game downloads
!faq newplayertips
is rolo msq got to be SPOILER ||ultima msq|| no other
thanks
for lvl 60 AST, after using Lightspeed, I should use Benefic II and weave Essential Dignity, cards, Celestial Opposition and Collective Unconscious ?
...if you really need all that healing, sure
But that sounds like extreme overkill in a majority of cases
Not benefic 2 unless it’s needed
ok, but then which gcd should I use after Lightspeed?
Malefic
Oh, so attack with gcd and weave ogcd for healing
First thing to remember is that Lightspeed doesn’t boost your healing capabilities directly, it basically just front loads the spell
Unless you’re casting raise
yea, I know that
how many dungeons do you need to do for the Anima weapon (Toughening Up)
Are there any superhero briefs over pants kind of glams in this game?
So I should use Lightspeed everytime I can, with Malefic, instead of saving it for when I need to do fast healing with Benefic II ?
Lightspeed is a pretty flexible cooldown so you aren’t hurting too much from not using it right when it’s ready
It’s good to save for when you need to do a lot of moving
None that I can really name immediately. Especially if you want tights
But if Im using itmostly with Malefic, then it doesn't make such a difference in healing
@glacial isle these are the dungeons that must be done for that step
Snowcloak
Sastasha Hard
Qarn Hard
Keeper of the Lake
Wanderer’s Palace Hard
Amdapor Keep Hard
Dusk Vigil
Sohm Al
The Aery
The Vault
So 10 in total
oh good i'm past the 1/2 way mark
how do I turn off the exp/gil obtain notification in chat?
next to the chat, there is a gear icon, there you can filter which messages show in the chat

When you're trying to learn BLU spells like self-destruct, do you actually have to get hit by the move?
And if you die from it, do you still learn it?
Oh so you can avoid it? That's great
are there any poetics vendors in Eulemore?
Nice, thanks!
i dont think there are cause poetics arent used in shadowbringers iirc
k, ill just head to idyllshire
Tantalus is basically the only tight/skinny jeans
There’s also the southern seas trousers, but for males only
cropped summer indigo slops
i just installed free trial and was wondering if anyone would want to hop in a call and help me maybe
sure im bored. hop in casual FFXIV 1
so what are my choices when it comes to getting good gear is dungeons a good way to get them?
Whats a grand company? and should i join a specific one?
im currently lvl 43
just take msq gear until 50
then you start getting a special currency which can be traded for ironworks gear at 50
really? i must have not progressed through the story enough yet haha
same goes for each level cap
cooking is crafting
who do i talk to for that?
the culinarian guild in limsa
can I buy sky pirate coins to trade for a mount on marketboard?
no
i know that this game is no where near like WoW, but I am curious, on your way to your quests should you be killing everything in your path for the XP or just concentrate on getting to your story quests, etc?
how to farm gil fast?
mobs alone dont give good exp
@heady knot crafting, treasure maps, selling tome mats
what do trasure maps do
possibly give you expensive mats
ok
anyone know what a dx11 crash is been getting a decent amount of it when im playing the game and it just crashes

I am looking through the fellowship finder & the UI is so large that i cant see the whole screen, any way to fix this in options?
What's a good spot for farming gil? I'm only level 19 and I just unlocked all of the main cities.
I'm trying ti get a baby brachosaur
How much for the baby Dino?
You don’t really have any good Gil options that early on
Just keep doing the story and that will steadily give you Gil, you could even try selling some of the spare gear from quest rewards on the marketboard
@warped nest it's 113k or so
Yeah good luck at your level
@obsidian patio Okay, ty
@obsidian patio
I just want to ask one thing.
Heyeyeyey what's going on?
Lol

Ha ha, funny cat face
let's say my sam is ready to do iaijutsu with 3 symbol, but she doesn't have enough resource to increase weaponskill damage by 50%. Should I generate more resource, or should I just drop Iaijutsu?
If you are 10 kenki short
Doing hakaze-shifu
Or Hakaze-Jinpu
Will be enough
But you shouldn't put yourself into that scenario
Once you hit level 62 you should have Kaiten for every single Iajutsu.
It becomes a matter of wisely spending your Kenki
IE not mindlessly spamming Shinten or whatever the AoE version is called
Kyuten
