there's the recruitment channels, but probably not gonna find people to do dungeons with really in them
easier to make use of party finder or just queue up
party finder ?
in the duties menu iirc, party finder lets you basically put up a listing looking for people for specific things
oh yeah i try that
Hi everyone Im a new player and have a questin. My friend is playing in Light- Zodiark. I wasn't able to create my char at Zodiark so I go to Lich. Now is it possible to play together or we must be at the same server?

hi, whats the macro for PLD's intervention to cast on target of target?
why am I agroing every enemy in a 10 mile radius as archer when I hit something
/ac Intervention <tt> @gusty pasture
what
what are you fighting, because its possible that the mobs you're attacking are linked to other mobs
opo-opo
do the same ppl who give out normal leves also give out grand company leves
How long does it take to level to lvl35 ish without MSQ with double exp ? I'm starting to regret my starting class choice
/micon Intervention
/ac Intervention <tt>
Does it work with just this? or do I need to put something else?
yes, it should though ideally micon should be at the bottom of the macro and should put as many lines of the /ac part as possible just to help make sure it goes off
@worn bone usually no. the grand company leves are given out by a different npc that should be nearish to the levemete npc
@raw granite shouldn't really take that long, maybe a couple of hours since you've got the road to 70 buff
@twilit arch do they have a special icon or is it the same as level icon
@ripe python if you mouse over the mob you're fighting, if its linked to another mob near by there's a thin arrow that will pass from the mob you hover over to the one its linked to
what does macro error off and action error off mean for macros?
ok gotcha
they have the same leve icon, but they're usually wearing grand company gear/colours
macro error/action error just turns off the error messages that will appear on screen when you try to use a skill to fast/gcd isn't finished
With the class quest + exp roulette thing ? I don't really know the strat
so 1-15 can do mostly via the hunting log and fates if you feel like it
15+: queue for sastasha or palace of the dead which ever will be quicker queue. when you hit 16, do your daily leveling roulette and then just either do highest level dungeon or potd
again depending on whatever is quick queue time
I don't think I have potd
but also do your class quests whenever you can
palace of the dead is unlocked in gridania, the quest is "The House the Death Built"
Ooooh that yeah I got that
to queue for potd, need to head to quarrymill and talk to the expedition captain
For alexander raid on normal, will u die if u dont lb3 tank?
Hey guys, I have a question. Im new and I saw that if you create a char on the servers with a star that give bonus exp to new players, you're supposed to get 1m gold and 15 days of playtime upon hitting level 30. I hit 30 but didn't get either, I know i'm supposed to get these as i got the level 1 silver chocobo feathers, am on Zodiark if it matters, any idea why?
1mil gil is for new worlds, of which there are none
@iron rock i believe that's still the case yes
just to check though, you're not on free trial right?
Ah I see, so its the one where you get 15 days of free time on 30, without the gold
thanks
I haven't played SMN or SCH since the big overhaul of pet autonomy with, I think, the expac. Is there a very basic guide to how the classes generally work now?
!faq smnguide
!faq schguide
Tobio's In-depth Guide to Scholar
Indomitable
Yuni's Mini Visual Guide to Scholar
Visual Guide
SCH's 3 Basics' Rules
Video Guide
Ah, thank you very much for the command. Out of curiosity, how much has the difficulty increased with the more manual pet control?
though the tl:dr for basic jist of the pet action changes it that they're now gcd abilities
that aren't tied to teh pet hotbar
would say that the changes made it easier to use pet abilities
since they're more or less naturally part of your rotation now
and pets no longer have HP
Ahhh yeah, that's the sense I was getting. So is the short of that they just took all the autonomous pet abilities, made them manual, and added them on top of the existing SMN abilities.
Will review these guides for sure though.
Pretty much
There's a few bits of micro with Placing and using Sic
And the forbidden Devotion delay tech
Hmmm, fair enough, thanks a lot.
how do i solo a dungeon?
!faq rdmguide
thank you
how long does it take a new character to show up on the mog station? i wanted to jumpskip an alt but its not showing up
do you still get loot by doing it solo?
From chests yes
i only need the hunting log
and yeah u do
im just doing my log
hm ok thanks
#kupo-bot-spam
Its ok
Diadem is more consistant as you can run it as much as you want but leves have a bigger xp payout
Is there any way to check if a friend can be invited through the callback campaign?
!faq ninguide
are there actual grand company quests i need to do to unlock all the GC leves
#kupo-bot-spam
like the lvl 45 dude isn't in Mor Dhona
Yeah, have them go on mogstation and it says when you last subbed
oh, and the month after if its a 30 days sub should be where the 90 days start to count right? @crimson crystal
I think so? Not sure, sorry
and do those invites have a limit?
or its just one person?
You can invite as many people as you want
If they don't receive an email, it means it hasn't been >= 90 days
question when someone declines a duty am I sent to the back of the queue ?
Yes
I have been queuing for Iconoclasm for 40 mins twice one of the tanks declined
If the person who declined isnt in your party
That seems rather silly no ?
surely everyone else shouldnt be punished for one person declining
Everyone is doing their weekly
can i burn e9s coffer into a book?
Only the person declining is punished
i get the earring twice which i dont need
No
Just open it on a alt job or something
Hey
I want to do the duty the burn
But I can’t cause I need an avg item level of 340
I’m confused cause my gear is above that but it won’t let me do it
screenshot pls
Your average ilvl is too low because you have some low ilvl pieces dragging you down
Yeah one sec
Just buy scaevan in rhalgars
I unequipped my lower level gear
Average ilvl is all slots added together (double weapon) and divide by 13
Again
Just buy scaevan
In rhalgars
With poetics
Its i400
And the best you can get at 70
Is the requirement for lv 80 job quest finishing ShB MSQ or was it a quest a bit earlier than that?
Finish base Shadowbringers and the respective role quest line
This is Post Stormblood
Where do I teleport to get there @faint flare
U got a pic?
Ok going rn
Found her!
Which one do I buy
Also, is there an npc here who repairs ur gear? My gear is a bit damaged
what job do you use
DRK tank
(DOW) I
make sure it's Scaevan gear you're buying
and find the scaevan ____ of fending and buy that
try the dow 2
Wait I think a different npc sells it, lemme take a pic
No its in dow 2
nope go back to enna and selec the dow 2
Thats for upgrading gear
If you had the old unupgraded versions
Now they just come upgraded
Ok
you go to eschina to get the weapon itself, "augmented scaevan greatsword" for drk
Since ur a tank
Yes buy those
choose the fending
You wear Fending gear
Fending pieces
Have they gotten rid of saving gear equipped ?
It says that I have them equipped already?
wait you already got them
What do I do now then?
can you post a picture of your character itself? with the armor and stats. maybe you got missing pieces
Did you finish 5.4 MSQ?
yes
Oh Ive never seen that before.
if u skipped you just lose the reward
so i go and clear e10s before doing e11s then
Yea you gotta do them in order
@worthy basin this ok?
alright
Bless, you’re the best!
For reference you average ilvl is the blue number there next to the *
Ok ok thx!

I went ahead and fixed all my gear at kugane too
Thanks for the tips again everyone
Literally love this community
The community in WoW was so toxic I had to leave
I hated my guild cause they’d always talk shit to one another
Bard mains, what is the order of playing the songs inside a dungeon?
Trash start with mage into army
There's a different order depending on whether you're doing trash (aoe) or bosses (ST)
Boss is wanderers into mage
one time i finished a raid and hadn't repaired in a while, my gear was all at like ~5% lmao
Dont let ur gear break
For the love of god just repair after everytime you run something
If you're a crafter, you can repair inside instances
where can i check what the average housing prices are?
What even happens if it breaks
!faq housing
Can you somehow get a hold later on weapons that are given from quests as rewards? Like Augmented Hellfire Claws?
What’s the fastest way of getting tomb stone of revelation?
experts then spam matoya
Spam matoya? You mean the dungeon that has her name?
It gives a lot?
@worthy basin
Oh yeah I forgot about those
is there a way to remove the confirmation box for turning in HQ items to the GC?
Hello, I'm looking to move on from WoW and have always loved FF. For those whove played healer in both, would I be able to pick it up fairly quickly? I was thinking WHM, but would it be better if I played dps first to learn mechanics and how the game works? Thanks
If gear breaks then its effectively like you're wearing nothing in that slot. All stats for broken items drop to 0
Oof
@little moat I don’t know about wow much but there is one class that you can switch between healer and dps. They level at the same time into summoner a dps and scholar a healer so you can play both
I first looked at this class but it seemed like scholar is best when you know what the fights are like, which I wouldn't as a first time player
Scholar is fine when learning
Are the DRK pvp club and the matchlock greatclub the only blunt weapons that tanks have?
Just be more conservative with your resources
!item matchlock greatclub
Hi, any guide for understand what best squadron i can make? I play only White mage so i'm confuse what jobs are better cause i don't know much another jobs and eventually big/problem if these squadron have.
No I don’t think you need to learn fight with scholar. It’s just not as easy as white mage I say. But I learned everything as a scholar. And I find it easier then whm it’s all who you start with I feel. @little moat
Plus you got an adorable fairy helping you heal
Thanks for the advice!
Hey all, anyone on leviathan able to powerlevel my blu mage?
When you reach Heavensward u unlock the 3rd healer Astrologian
Which is my fav of the 3
new fcs cant bypass the timer lock for houses?
Whats the difference playstyle wise between astrologian and scholar?
Astro is deff the funnest
SCH is more around shield and preventing damage
AST has buffs and is a sort of middle ground between WHM and SCH
Shields, Buffs and Regens
Sounds more my style actually. I'll try it once I get it unlocked
Scholar is the "shield" healer and has a plethora of free healing, though most of it is tied to Aetherflow resource while the rest is from the fairy
Astro is the jack od all trades...has a shield or regen stance (regen is typically better in majority of scenarios)...main gimmick is its cards which gives a short damage buff to people

am I going crazy or is this removed? I've been doing these level 10 levequests trying to get the Grabbing Crabs one, but I just can't get it...
done 15 of these and still haven't gotten it
If I have the road to 70 buff and am close to 70 on my main class is it worth switching to other classes in the mean time to take advantage of the buff before I reach 70 on my main?
Id say its worth it if you want
Road to 70 plus the Armory bonus boosts XP gain by a hell of a lot
Armory bonus boost?
Is anyone willing to jump into a call or ps4 party if it’s your platform to answer some random questions I’ve got? I don’t wanna clog up the chat
just ask
it's not like it's busy in here right now anyway
@grizzled swan don't go out of your way to utilize road to 70 if you'd rather just keep playing your main
it's nice to have but it's not like the game is unplayable without it
We don't mind clogging the chat, go wild
you can level other classes without road to 70 just fine
I just don't know how slow level is without it
Yeah it's...okay
Especially because you don't have story missions to carry you anymore
road to 70 just means less grinding the grind
Can I upgrade my 520 tomestones gear without doing Eden? Or is the item only a drop there?
leveling roulettes is aa great deal of exp daily
No
Only way is from there right now, can upgrade it using the 24-man raid when that comes out and hunt currency later
Its only savage for now
Well I'm all for less grinding to be honest right now I am playing for story, but I only picked the class I am using because of its ease of use, but I find some other class a bit more interesting
Okie! Thanks
the story encourages you to try numerous classes
you'll significantly overlevel the story if you only play one
some classes starting at level 50 or 60 helps with that as well
^
Yea I wanted to do rouge/ninja tho so I ended up started at 0 at the time, but I decided to keep going with my main to continue the story and also unlock faster transportation and easier warps
Samurai was another one, tho by not starting at 0 its hard to learn to play certain classes
WHM feels better at dungeon run
Due to holy spamming
So far I enjoyed all healers
Yes all of them (thanks insta queue)
where can i find the ninja trainer guys?
forgot where they took me for the first time
aight thankies
Easy to spot
So... for some reason the game field BGM doesnt work... and I have the BGM settings at 100. Is this a bug? Will I be forced to check the files of the game?
Near fisherman guild
That's rogue not ninja
So every time i try to move with my WASD it types into the chat and i don't move

where can I find good rotation guides
Can I repair my own gear? if so, how?
You need a crafter with the appropriate level and an item for that
I forgot how the mat is named tho
dark matter
you need a crafter to be 10 levels below the level of the gear you're trying to repair
so if you have a level 60 piece of gear you want to repair without a mender, you need a level 50 crafter, and the appropriate dark matter grade
All the info is in your gear's info anyway
The dark matter needed as well as the crafter who does it
what is the max level for Archer?
Is it worth it to do the lvl 24 MSQ when you're 10 lvl above thanks to the double xp or should I up another class to maximize my xp gain ?
80 but please become a bard at lv30 when you can @trim mango
@trim mango 80
oh
@raw granite being overleveled compared to.msq is a good thing. Not a huge deal otherwise
If you really want to you can level another class
thre is an ability at lvl 38 though
what is the balance?
oh okay ty ty
!faq balance
!faq Balance
This discord
Look in the resources for your job for stuft
yeah Im there
should I stay bard till 80?
sorry let me rephrase, generally speaking do you level every class to 80?
can I pentameld the gear of my friend? he has no crafter leveled up
Only if you want to
He can either trade you the gear and meld that way if its not been used. Or he can rightclick request meld
hmm he gets an error. I can't remember exactly
hmm okay
Generally, no. I'd only recommend it if you're a completionist since you can do nearly everything else with 3 jobs (tank, healer, DPS) since Arcanist counts as both a Healer and caster DPS once you unlock the jobs so you just need a Tank and a physical DPS for the Shadowbringers role quests
are khloe's silver certs good for anything?
Minions and cosmetics
When you get your job's soulstone you should always have it on
Ne reasons to switch back to archer
I think they mean like "should I stay as bard until I get to 80 with it, or should I switch to a different job as my main"
you can change your job any time so if you feel bard isn't for you, you can try out the other ones.
thats true and I can always go back and finish leveling it
I guess the completionist in me was thinking I was going to go archer to 80 -> bard to 80 -> lancer to 80 -> etc. etc.
even if you're a bard, the game will say "you gain 9047398 archer xp"
but I don't think that makes sense since the game is free in class progression
because bard is an upgrade of archer
so uh. black mage vs EmEx beam. any hot tips?
once you unlock bard, you're leveling both bard and archer in a sense
well even better then
it's not quite correct to think of bard as something different to archer
once archer hits 30 it becomes bard
assuming you've done your quests which you absolutely should have
that's how all the basegame starting 'classes' and rogue work
The hitbox of the laser is only the outside bit. Middle of it under the boss does nothing
you're insane. so all you need to do is scoot the middle-most aoe?
Yah
i like ape
Dunno the practical application of it though
Or alternatively you can pixel perfect the gap between the 2 aoes
But thats more effort imo
does older maps have portals and can you unsync it?
damn ty
Dragonskin and gazelleskin have portals as well
need to check i'm understanding right... so you're saying all of blue doesn't get hit by rotato laser?
Bard is the upgrade of archer so they have the same exp bar
@agile laurel I was under closer to the center but yah afaict its only the outer bit that lasers you
really
cause that aoe indicator there suggests otherwise
that it's 2 opposite pie section aoes

But I don't think its server tick thats letting me run in it
I assume food buffs take effect in dungeons/trials, right?
Try it in a normal mode run for experiments, so you don’t look like a possible troll for extreme
gochu, are there any other buff sources i should look at then? Or only foods for harder trials and such
There’s stat potions but those are expensive to use often if you don’t make them yourself
Mostly people use food and stat pots for EX/Savage content, but only use food for the xp buff while leveling.
And are really only needed in cutting edge content that needs you to squeeze out all damage boosts to win
I see, i've also heard there's overmelding but thats not specyfically a buff so...
and yeah i assume those are a must only for hardest content for current patch, that much im aware
Overmelding applies only to crafted gear, and is basically just a way to add more base stat values to your gear. Again, it's not something you really need unless you're doing cutting edge progression or looking for pre-raid BiS.
Otherwise it's a huge waste of resources. You can get along just fine with base-level (2 materia) melding on tomestone gear, even in Savage/EX.
gochu, thanks
I think that leve, you need to activate it through your journal
Hello im new to the game I was wondering, what can I spend my gold on? Im on trial and im always capping at 300k
is cactuar a good server
so when you around the area, you open your journal and activate it
@smoky stream start crafting probably? 🤔
!faq worldpick @timber condor
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)
I have met a lot of cringe and toxic people from cactuar
But I suppose every world has them
and i've met a lot of cringe and toxic people everywhere
doubt it's anything exactly specific
dang is there somewhere you would recommend? i want a feel good experience and to be part of the community and make friends to enjoy the game with. i do like to push myself in pve as well
Well it says you are on primal, but idk those worlds
which servers are good and popular that have welcoming and friendly people that also work together to clear raids and stuff
Server-specific niches don’t really exist due to content being datacenters wide
Aside from RP because well
It’s mainly non-content differences like RP, and language spoken
To find RPers you have to go in that specific server
any other information given about how "people are cringe from X server" is confirmation bias. that is just one player's experience and isn't representative of the whole
Maxed out tomes; buy the 520 gear on main or at job and try for 530 on main?
Entirely up to you, the 520 for your main can help get the savage gear easier
Is SMN tripleweave phoenix actually a clean weave?
Trying to practice it but not sure I quite understand
You clip your GCD because #smnthings
ah. that's unfortunate
so i'm not real sure what the actual reward from tripleweave FBT is?
Just search ffxiv client download on Google you'll find the SE page for it
is it like, one more scarlet flame under raid buffs?
I don't even remember, the optimization for SMN is so jank I dropped it after getting to 80
cool. Second question, is malefic > earthly star > malefic theoretically a clean weave?
ignoring the fact placing earthly star in time would be challenging
Triple weaving always clips
And yeah earthly star can be placed without clipping. A macro for placing it can help with that
/ac “Earthly Star” <t> places it right on your current target, whether party member or enemy
/ac “Earthly Star” <me> does the same, but always places it on you
it ensures that you get the maximum amount of scarlet flames under fbt, yeah
Because phoenix is dumb and doesn't que scarlet flames during everlasting flights
@little swift you're insane. It was server tick, but it's because the tick from emerald beam is so slow, the smallest hitbox of the beam can pass over you and not tick
stupidity and limit testing truimphs once again. i expect the only real practical way to use it is to stand out of the first aoe, walk into the middle and manaward the second or something

it honestly doesn't feel super practical
just a side thing i thought was sorta neat that might have some niche use
glad my little experiment has some use then ^.^
Can I repair inside a dungeon, or after wipe in a boss fight?
yes if you have the correct crafters leveled and the requisite amount of dark matter
Can I repair other players gear inside a dungeon?
No
you can only repair your own gear or use a mender
you can never repair others' gear
So what's the purpose of the void sidequests?
Lore
But didn't it also tease armour?
Maybe

It did in the patch notes
Yes
I've got already a trial account on Square Enix client
Will I be able to play with it in that case?
If you buy on steam you'll be able to transfer but you can't access the same trial account with the steam trial
Alright! Thank you so much for your precious informations 🙏🏼
should I be buying potions
nah
aight
is there something to spend FC credits on except actions and brooms? anything I can buy my members from it?
there are some housing cosmetic items as well
You start at 21 at the highest
Ty!
If I'm just levelling a job, should I start doing 50/60/70 roulette when I'm over level 50?
no
50/60/70 dungeons don't really give a lot of EXP
since they were level cap dungeons and previously didn't even give EXP
Ok, thanks!
50/60/70 is more for if you need the tomestones
So it’s nice for gearing up at the level caps
why do some of my equipment have yellow values ?
why are there so many lvl 14 story quests 😢
I am still waiting for the lvl 15 one so I can leave the city
Can you take a screenshot? I likely know what it is but I want to be sure
Its the synced values probably
Ah yeah it was, it's gone now
it says hotbars 1-2-3 are not shared but they are.. ???
if i change layout they are shared
stuff gets weaker when you're synced ?
Yes because its putting you at the power level of that time
So you dont face roll it
You didn't get synced under the level for it to turn back
What can i do with Triple Triad cards duplicate?
Sell them to an NPC at the gold saucer for MGP
They’re one of the ones near the mini cactpot person
please help im desperate ;;
Do the skills still share after you change them?
IS there a way to see your playtime on any given job ?
Not per job
sad
Okay starting shadowbringers, does it matter who I search for first? Also what's the stuff with the crystal tower?
Or any opinion which is better to start searching for?
I think in terms of “canon” you search for ||Alphinaud|| first due to a possible error in dialog but either is fine to start with.
As for the Crystal tower it will be explained at various points.

Okay, thanks. I know the game suggested to do crystal tower first, but I really wanted to jump to shadowbringers last night
crystal tower is required for shadowbringers
so you should know a little bit about it already
so I got my Bard class unlocked but my class code still says ARC... and I tried talking to someone at my archer guild but there were not quest 😦
Equip the job stone
did you equip your job stone
The job quests will be back at that bard hobo guy in south shroud
I'll look into doing it tonight, Rena thanks
is there a way to store dye?
Retainers or saddlebag
Does your Chocobo only get from a mob if you do?
You may have passed the point before this was put in place, but currently Crystal Tower is required for you to pass a certain MSQ point - that's because it's really integral to the plot of Shadowbringers
*xp
I don't think the Story skip does Crystal Tower still, but that's the only way to circumvent CT I think. But even then, 5.3 will require you to do it anyways so
It's both.
Aha. noted.
Because you'll have characters who are beyond 2.5 before and never done CT due to it being optional.
Yeah, I'd figured that
good to know, anyway
Anyone know what the track is that's like a lofi Torn from the Heavens?
Plays during the little toybox minigames
yes, just tested
nothing is shared
but changing the skills or the things on the hotbar in one layout change also the hotbar on the other
...that shouldn’t be happening. I suggest sending in a bug report
i guess i can live with it but ngl so annoying..
Or send in that bug report and see what SE might know that can help. :))
yoyo
curious
can deltascape savage be managed unsynced?
like wit a few level 80 players
Yes. If you mean solo then no
dw i got friends haha
we all want the genji stuff
the datalogs, do we gotta roll for em?
Yes
Yep
pog
Hmm how long is fantasia potion active after ai pop it
Let's say I use fantasia, but don't want to re edit immediate moment
Will it be there every time I log in and how long? Does it even expire if I don't use it on time
it will be there until you accept the changes to the edit
is there an easy way to tell if a plot if available?
in the ward selection menu you can choose to browse
and if its available it will be a price rather than name
oh i see, cool I'll go check that, thanks 😄
however, the only way to know for absolute certainty that the plot is actually able to be purchased and not on hidden timer is to actually try to buy the plot at the plaque
I see, interesting. Do people ever do private sale of plots? is that a thing?
there's a subreddit/discord for it yes, but selling personal plots are a lot harder than fc houses
due to the timer
If a free company I belong to has a house plot, am I bound in anyway from getting a plot in the future?
No.
the only surefire way to sell a personal is for the seller to relocate away, and the buyer to relocate in
cool thanks for the information. These move slow, so I will probably have to wait a while to get desired plot
otherwise you're at the mercy of housing timer
scalping for plots is also against ToS so it's shady ground whatever you do
oh I see so basically a swap of propteries
i'd advise taking a look around at off-peak times
also if you have the gil for it try for a less desirable plot (ass-end of Goblet seems to be the norm on my world) so you can safely relocate to a plot you do want, when you see it
^ i did that
or just be me and get a really nice lavender beds plot which you were after in the first place
gotcha, if you own a plot of the same size, if the plot becomes available can you immediately swap in?
#notsohumblebrag
pff. mood.
plot size irrelevant
but yes, you're right
if you relocate then you're not bound to the stealth timer
bit of a stupid feature but it is how it is
oh excellent so if I can afford a plot there is no reason not to get it right when I want and then just swap with the plot I want. Mist seems super competitive on my server
yeah if you have the cash. get any plot you can
i see initial purchase of one plot is 3 million, is that typical?
that is actually cheap
for a small, yes
I bought mine for 3.75
smalls are between 3mil -3.75mil
can you upgrade size after initial purchase or are you bound to it?
size is dictated by the plot you buy
can relocate to a bigger plot size though assuming it is open ofc
i see, and I assume there is some cost for the difference or do you pay full price?
You get a discount
(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) – (30% of Old Plot Price)
Like 30% of what you paid for the old plot
what is max lvl of ARR beast tribes and is it the same for all beast tribes from future expansions as well/
Oh execellent that really lays it out. Thanks for explaining
max rank for beast tribes is Allied, but that requires you to have leveled all of the beast tribes for that expansion to be able to pick up and do the allied beast tribe quest to get there
but before that ARR combat tribes max out at Trusted (rank 4) with Ixali maxing out at Sworn (rank 7)
for expansion tribes, they max out at bloodsworn (rank 8)

How hard is it to Duo the first 3 Savage alexander raids?
Firat 3 isnt hard
get more help imo
the first three alex raids shouldn't be that hard
hii uhm im not sure if Im allowed to ask this but am I allowed to talk about subbing issues
yeah
its pretty simple im using the Same laptop the Same card the Same browser on the Same place (my room) as from when I first bought the game
but this time I can't resub
error 601
and since im not in NA i cant use crysta (error 11000)
any uh. ideas where to start
are you using a vpn of any kind
no
is the card expiring this month?
both times im in incog bc I like chrome dark mode
2026
I have not tried again out of incog bc like. its already my 3rd attempt I dont want my acc blocked for a month
basically at this point i would suggest waiting two days before trying again (since that's SE's own recommendation)
Then contact support
so im just. waitin
yeah I did but since its the holiday season I probably have to wait till like jan
or worst case, buy a time card
i dunno what that is and im not sure any game store here even know what ff14 is
time cards are basically jut another means of paying for the sub, but they're slightly more expensive than entry
as they're effectively 60 day standard sub
ah
... I assume I cant switch to the steam version
of course I couldnt what a silly question
not without starting all over
ah well
ngl I never know theres a steam version until u brought that up
anyway thanks
maybe patience is key rn
after all I have [unrelated game] I can try to focus my mind on rn
how come i can store every crown i get after taking all jobs to a expansions level cap BUT the one for stormblood?
but hopefully I can get my acc back
@onyx kiln dunno, looks like they just forgot about that one 🤷♀️
does the road to 70 exp boost disappear only on the class i hit level 70 with or every class?
That's 90 actual days, not play time btw
thanks
and its from character creation
Do we have a chat for market,
No.
?*
We don't facilitate any kind of goods trading on this server because it's a gigantic headache to manage.
Okiedokes, got anotherquestion I was trying to get the dragonlancer set and yesterday was told I gotta buy it by doing hunts and such, and u need to level up your company, that yiu chose to 2nd lutienet. What's a good way to do that quick?
I understand
fates?
grand company hunting log first
then turn in dungeon gear when you level high enough
then fates
this one is the quickest
but you need to be highish rank
i mean
Want them thicc dragoon man thighs
The dragonlancer stuff isn't from leveing your grand company o_O
you would have gotten the armor anyway from your quest at lvl 60
its just available through Centurio Seals
@marble drift which you need to level up in your gc to unlock hunts
oh. right. It has been along time since I last ranked up a GC
Yeah u right cerb, got sum Christmas money and said ynot ya know
Did it to ninja aswell, won't do that with the other classes I was interested in, appr8 ya help
Class quest
oh geez
it'll be a pain before redeeming my code so i guess i'll just leave this be for now, Ixali quests i mean, and that quest that requires me to wear lvl 50 main tool.
I mean it's super annoying to do class quest without marketboard, and timeconsuming, so i'll just do something else for the time being.
Level 50 mainhand tools are super sparse since they mainly come from upgrade steps by upgrading the tool from the class quest
you can buy a mh tool with grand company seals
Can I? Lemme check
yeah the Artisan stuff
if i do daily roulette alone do i still get exp and seals
though you'll to be 2nd LT to do so iirc
@worn bone wym alone
i'm 2nd LT i think
@remote lintel like run underleveled party
you cant
You cant unsync roulettes
they'll be in the officer section, in the weapons
ohhh okay
this is a dumb question but can i play minigames while waiting in a duty queue
like if i want to play triple triad
or would it withdraw me from duty
You can play it
Is there a difference in appearance with the Sigmascape Savage and Sigmascape normal parts?
When I was looking at the diamond hat of casting when compared to the carborundum hat of casting and it looked like nothing really looked difference
Diamond is dyeable

Never done them unsynced so can’t say
But if it’s like O8S you’ll skip the 2nd half of the fight
Is it possible to craft the exarchic gear with lv 80 weaver?
That’s what you need to make it, so yes
You’ll need melded aesthete gear for the required stats
should i bother to do all blue quests that unlock side-dungeons or trials right away or can they wait?
i believe some unlock-able dungeons are needed to unlock certain daily roulettes
or that might just be the level 80 roulette
i guess i'll then start slowly doing all sidequests that arent extremes.
aside hildibrand since i'd want to read that one but i want to focus story-wise on the main one for now. lol
most of those can wait
hey guys, my friend's having issues with ffxiv on Steam and it's saying "Data files not found"
I'd probably want to do them all before i go into stormblood anyway as i still havent redeemed my code to get the most out of trial before getting the thing.
anyone have an idea of how to fix that?
So I played and finished arr back in 2016 and stopped playing. I just purchased shadowbringers and loaded my lvl 52 blm... but I have no clue what is going on or what I am doing. Surely I don't want to start over?
the most important
at 50 to unlock are the hard mode trials, which starts in the waking sands with the quest "A Recurring Problem" and the Crystal Tower Raid series, which starts in mor dhona with the quest "Legacy of Allag"
hildibrand is a great time but ultimately only rewards cosmetics
so it'd be best to focus on progress and come back to it when you have the time
There are some ARR recaps to catch you up: here's Rommy's quick and easy one https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTE9lCCPNCp6KzeKfllEEH7VN_bJ3DdbrPZKUfWDbpmQQhIG24aqm9BmwvvfrQqzlRTMlZfvuRE6R6R/pub
And here's the first part of Anwyll's very indepth one: https://gamerescape.com/2015/01/19/the-lore-train-a-realm-reborn-part-1/
oh right, can you like target ally that died from the bat?
bar*
i mean the party bar you get be defaulty on the left side
for rez for example
yep
i would assume so
hmm, maybe i did something wrong then cuz i swore i could rez a person
if they fell off the arena, you have to wait a bit before they become click-able
on certain fights (titan) they aren't rezzable
are vote dismiss anonymous? asking for a friend
yes
thank god
What's melded aesthete gear?
i fought Sephiroth or w/e he was called
Aesthete gear of crafting with materia attached
Sephirot yes lol
Aha gotcha
then maybe i clicked something wrong idk, i couldnt target them tho eitherway
pretty sure sephirot arena doesn't return people who fell off to the stage
hmm, maybe thats why if he fell
so it's same as titan, anyone who goes off stays down
Likely. Sephirot has one/two if you're really blind untelegraphed knockbacks
you know it doesnt help that half of the time im not sure whats happening cuz i focus too much on my hotbar but yknow lol
let's jsut assume i couldnt target him and he was gone for good
Sephirot is perma death if they fell off don't worry
so does anyone have an idea on the issue with steam? "Could not locate data files."
?
Where do you get that?
So I know people say do the main story for now, but what level can I just do a simple gil farm?
I'm want tobget a butterfly that's 88k
You make it or buy it off the marketboard
@obsidian patio heyeyeyeh what's going on?
Being able to make good Gil is entirely market dependent
Youll need to look up stuff yourself
Thank you
can't confirm it'll be "lots" of gil but you can get lucky sometimes.
but again. AT 80 is the keyword. you don't need gil while leveling.
so with roulettes, do you only get the reward once or the bonus, or both?
like do you keep getting the base reward without the bonus if you do it again
Roulettes don’t have a “base” reward. Running a roulette again for that day is equivalent to queueing directly for that dungeon
I guess it's mainly people who have all their classes at lv 80 that can make the really big amounts of gil?
How would one plan ahead?
Generally you gather lots of mats in preperation for a big patch that brings new crafting recipes
and craft a whole bunch of brand new things really quickly and put em up on the marketboard
with new raid tiers especially.
did they change amything with samurai in 5.4?
From 5.3? nothing
oki
nice, just did my first raid and felt like such a noob lmao
Oh nice
Yeah made a gladiator and its been fun so far
Ive gained 3 or 4 lvls in one dungeon lol
do A/S hunt marks evaluate your contribution like FATE?
pretty much
best done in a party
its not exactly the same iirc. some wacky math Im not aware of.
just. join a party when on a hunt train pretty much

can you do the mentor roulette more than once daily?
You only get the reward once a day
What's blm rotation again?
Like all other roulettes
I know there is a command in the bot for that
!faq blmguide
I meant the one while leveling, but sure
!faq blmleveling
@verbal rune ^
Thanks
how many private rooms can be bought on a small FC house?
Should be 512, the same number you can have of members
The size of the house has no impact
How essential is it to keep the boss of Eden Litany centered?
I got told off after a run. I wasn't being very mobile, but after the mechs they'd get shuffled off center and I figured I'd keep em there so DPS can hit positionals securely.
I cant tell how much is legit advice and how much is just the off-tank being salty.
Its easier for voidgates and in general dodging his aoes as if you have him by a wall, then if you need to dodge to the wall then you dont have much room
As long as he's generally centre its fine
what does "lfp" in bozjan mean?
Looking for party
ty
if i get both item correct
i get extra 50?
or is it because there is no commander and gift box so i get everything?
oh nvm
maths

are the resistance weapons already finished? or will there be more quests later on
there's gonna be more
5.5x
Yeah
cool, can't wait
No
goooooood
How do we find other players selling items? Do we just shout in the chat?
market board
Got you, where can I find one?
any of the major cities
supplementary question
it looks like a bulliten board on the map
are you on a trial account?
Trial account?
Free trial.
are you playing for free
No
then its fine, carry on
Okiedokes
but on the market board you can just search for whatever you're trying to buy
Sweet
whats the fastest way to lvl a 2nd job after u have finished all the MSQ on ur first job to 80
What to put in a macro to show a message when I rezz a player, saying his name
Daily roulettes always then either spam highest dungeon or spam pvp or if at 70 do bozja
Depends on the job
!faq altlvlguide
<t>
Zzzzz outdated
Leveling didn't change that much
Or more specifically <p> Raising <t>
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ahh, where exactly do I put the message, and how do I call to the rezz , and how to put the name of the player Im reviving?
For 70+ you still do beast tribes (pixies), dungeons and Bojza replaces Potd/HoH option
Nothing changes
i think bozja starts at 71 though
If you could copy/paste here an example of the full macro, I'd really appreciate it 😄
Gotta go to User Macros menu
/ac "name of rez spell here"
/p Raising <t>
The arrows fill in with the name of whatever you are targeting at that time
If you give me a min I can post my funny haha meme raise macro
put /micon at the bottom
That can be argued to not matter
but do NOT put multiple actions in one macro for combat
that will almost assuredly break and even if you do get it to work its worse than just hitting the buttons yourself

good macro practice:
-
Repeat /ac lines to help with reliability, since if it's just the one line and you're in animation lock or otherwise lag slightly while that line tries to execute, it'll skip it. Put /merror off at the top to prevent error message spam, or you can disable the error message spam entirely in settings (I don't recall offhand exactly where)
-
Put /micon at the bottom. While it's rather minor it still causes a very slight delay, and it costs nothing to put it at the bottom instead of at the top
can i somewhere check where i have what blue plus mark quests to get, or do i have to basically teleport around and see where i missed one?
Unless it shows on the MSQ tracker then you’ll have to look around
looking around it is then
turn off error messages like so
Quick question. Is there an album or something showing the different houses? Just got a plot and need to decide now
like the housing outsides?
The actual house
it depends where you bought it i believe
In the goblet.
Got 3 to choose from
Oasis cottage wood/composite/stone
Oh nvm the menu hid the preview
thx guys
Just beat last 50 quest in MSQ. Start to do more varied things? Or continue hurtling through main storyline to unlock all the things?
do the crystal tower raids
Like you've just come out of the Praetorium?
Story is still required but you can take a break if you want
or???
Crystal tower and hard mode primals are required
like last 50 quest, next quest is 51?
Yeah, just beat Ultima Weapon
You have a ton of pre-heavensward patch MSQ to do.
you should do all the raids when you beat an expac
except the binding coils of bahamut
^
in general, is leveling roulette the most time efficient roulette to do for xp?
Ah ok
only the first time. no point requeing into it
all the roulettes exp are scaled to how long they take
Yeah, OK Hah, not even close to finishing level 50 quests, I see now
Because its the second lowest xp reward in total
MSQ gives the most in a roulette bc it takes the longest
Alliance, msq and levelling are the top 3 roulettes for xp
mmk
Trial is decent cause its quick
after you finish your dailies either pvp spam/spam highest dungeon/Deep Dungeon
Like 5 patches
theres always like 5 patches between expansions
So probably like 90
https://i.imgur.com/62Gd8gt.jpg should I risk shuffling more or just complete WT?
You have the second chance points so why not
check out your expiry date ^.^
@70 any other beast quests worth doing or just Pixies?
Just pixies
Gotcha
How do you guys handle weapon glamors while youre still leveling and are upgrading your weapon every few levels. Do you keep it on your person, in the dresser and on a plate, or in your retainer/saddlebag?
a plate
whats a good way to level sub-50 other than the levelling dungeons
