Anyways..whwn should I generally use igi assault? During my phase of having my dots all up?
#questions-and-help
strong saddle
oak ice
You should be using it during buffs, when you need to move and so you don't overcap on charges
Summoning Baha-blast and Mega Ultra Chicken removes your ability to use egi assaults, so you want to plan around that
strong saddle
Apologizes for the simple questions. Just getting into summoner for the first time
obsidian patio
Until you get a proper “burst” window later on, basically just use the Assaults to avoid overcapping on charges, preferably for movement if needed.

Can I buy anything on the market that will boost my xp gain?
sterile flower
okay
wintry chasm
which all food is the same
The in-game xp boosting items you got would be FC buffs, the xp ring from hall of the novice training, squadron manuals (which don't stack with FC buffs), food, and that's all I can think of off the top of my head and that's for battle classes specifically

Hey all, wheres the best place to go to look for a linkshell? I'm a returner player and I figured I keep leaving because of a lack of immediate community/ social interactions. I miss the days of a lively guild chat

checking the recruitment for primal down below might help
social linkshells may be a bit harder to find but they're likely there
and there's any number of social oriented FCs
glacial fulcrum
Are they all normally raiding/progress then?
agile laurel
not really. many raiding statics won't necessarily be confined to an FC
many FCs do run statics but the concept of 'if you want to raid, find an FC for it' isn't the norm here

Hey guys, I wanted to upgrade from free to full version, but through the MogStation the 50% off deal is not present. When I tried to login to the square enix with my FFXIV ID however it asked me to further complete my account as if Im making a new account. How can I make sure I am buying the game on the correct account? I don't think I can check if I have characters ingame on the square enix site itself, and when I go to games it says I own no games since Im on the free version I assume. Im just somewhat confused and dont want to lose progress
twilit arch
the square enix store account is not the same as your mogstation account, though you can link them
pearl pecan
Isnt the mogstation account basically the account you use to login to the game?
twilit arch
yes, your mogstation account is the account you use to play the game with
pearl pecan
Okay so as long as I have my game/mogstation acocunt linked to my square enix account, there should be no issue with buying the game?
twilit arch
you don't need to link them to buy the game
its just an easy means of logging in.
SE store gives you a code that you put into the mogstation to upgrade your account
twilit arch
it doesn't automatically apply the codes to your account

Should I just be doing MSQ as a new player?

yep. it's good exp
sidequests aren't so much

msq is more than adequate to level
rich reef
I have been skipping anything that is not MSQ so far at lvl 13
agile laurel
yes. everything requires an unlock, and 99% of that will be behind msq
the reason you have no dungeons or so in your dungeon finder is less because you haven't reached the level to do any, more because you haven't unlocked any through msq

For Bozja, what does it mean to reinstance? Just leave and come back?

Is it possible to end up in the same instance? Cause like... the exact same FATES are going on as when I left.

Rescheduling should give a new stack of invitations

check the players in the duty list and memorise a name or two, makes it easier to figure if you've zoned into the same instance

how do you bring that up?

For Bozja, what does it mean to reinstance? Just leave and come back?

Usually if someone says the instance is "dead" or "locked" that means it isnt taking new players or rather it hasnt in the past 10-15 mins Thats usually a good sign to leave give it a few mins and then reque

Do we have a channel for grilling? I'd like to place an order for a hamburger.

well i skipped the entire story on my main too.
but anyway, if i buy a skip, it also unlocks all the areas and some of the blue sidequests or like it's literally only msq quests?
i don't really get how the skip works..

Just MSQ afaik

its unlocks most blue quests that are important to msq
i.e things like aether currents and such

i mean, you really only need to get to 16 to unlock leveling roulette
dreamy warren
I thought it was 15?
dreamy warren
Ahh
tidal yarrow
yeah but with only one roulette leveling up will take ages won't it
dreamy warren
If it's your first class on an alt, it will take some time, yes.
twilit arch
you'll have all the leveling dungeons unlocked
so, i assume you're doing to be doing dungeons as your main method of leveling
so really it won't be that long
dreamy warren
The best way to speed it up is join an FC with the Heat of Battle II buff, eat food, and log off in cities/major hubs to build up your XP bonus bar

leveling roulette gives a hefty chunk so probably will be in the 20s by the time you're done with that

general recommendation are 1 combat retainer and 1 gatherer

when it comes to the combat retainers, they all bring back the same stuff for the specific 1hr/18hr ventures
so it really doesn't matter too much which class you give them for combat

like one ore etc?

Having watched many "New Player" guides, they all warn about doing more than your first class until at least lv50, preferrably lv60 or max level.
They say new players tend to get stuck with multiple classes at lv30-40 and burning out because lv30-50 tends to be a long and repetitive stretch.

are you sure you downloaded the free trial client?
alpine shadow
Can you login to mogstation and check what type of free trial you have?
it should show like this if you are using the normal windows free trial.
or idk if any free trial is the same anyway
alpine shadow
are you running via steam or just the free trial client?
worldly vortex
ive tried both
alpine shadow

yeah, that should show if your platform you registered on is incorrect
but, if you have tried both windows and steam, that's a bit weird.
worldly vortex
alpine shadow
can you try launching the .exe file directly? aka, not via steam.
alpine shadow
right click the steam game, open local directory
and then you go to boot and then you launch ffxivboot64.exe

Yeah same error code
Should i try reinstalling the game again? only the free trial?

ental bonding help
polar hound
eternal bonding help? need a lil more detail...with what part specifically
jade lava
are alliance raids as easy on duty finder as normal raids or is the level sync a bit more reasonable?
slate arrow
they're usually pretty easy since most of them sync pretty high or near the maximum item level at that level
Crystal Tower series in particular all sync to 135 for example
magic light
what causes GP to not regenerate while offline again?
violet meteor
Does anyone here know what the success rate change is to level sync blue mage primals.
I know patch 5.4 came with a bonus to the success rate of learning a spell if you do undersized level sync party.
Is it even worth it is what I'm wondering.
violet meteor
That seems kinda insane. Alright, I'll definitely try to get a group then.
Better than the like 1% it is without it that's for sure
faint flare
Guaranteed when sync provided you meet the learning requirementd
Always sync whenever possible
violet meteor
I've never had issues til trying to learn primal spells
I've always got it in one go when doing dungeons unsyc'd
But these primal spells are just so unforgiving.
faint flare
Primal spells are lower chance by default
oak ice
The dungeons that are required for job quests were changed after a couple weeks to be guaranteed

The only way to buy mog station items and game time is trough the credit card? I cant use my psn balance?

gotta go through mogstation for subscription stuff, i do not believe you can use your psn balance for that, no.
leaden ginkgo
Just wanted to confirm. Couldnt find anything on psn store
Damn i literally have 50 sitting there and wanted to get some stuff t.t
On the other hand I find it refreshing not having premium.currency and in game store
polar hound
😦 Unfortunately yeah you'd need crysta balance or otherwise on the mogstation/online store

How many tomestones can you expect to get per hunt train?
cold crescent
oh btw
what level can i stzart fixing up faded copies
sorta why i grabbed this job
obsidian patio
30 at the earliest, but they’re mainly spread at the various level caps
So 50/60/70/80
cold crescent
gotcha
obsidian patio
Yep
sour ruin
Between the 4 melee dps, which of them would say is the least technical at 80? I want to help flex melee for my static but I am not the most technical player hahaha
robust notch
If you're on Chaos, I could even help you craft faded copies as long as you bring me the materials ^^
obsidian patio
Dragoon is pretty straightforward besides like two or three technical stuff you do
Which is basically not entering the first Life of the Dragon until 60 seconds into the fight, and generally to always use Life Surge on Full Thrust.
sour ruin
Fair enough! Is monk difficult? It looks pretty simple from what I've seen although i do only have it at 30
crystal bluff
its less complicated than it used to be
theres a lot of moving for positionals tho
agile laurel
monk is one of those which makes rotational sense by about 50
robust notch
Personally, from least to most technical I'd say
Dragoon -> Ninja -> Samurai -> Monk
But plenty of people find Ninja more difficult, or Samurai to be quite easy. Some also find Monk to be really easy.
It just depends on what you're good at
Monk for the most part is just remembering positionals
agile laurel
Samurai is one of those where it's a difficult learn but a really easy execution
neon trellis
I'm level 58, and trying to gear out my scholar, having focused all of the MSQ gear on my summoner. Should I just wait until level 60 and the access to other gear at that point? I'm on to the end of patch 2.2 right now, so a bit until the first expansion, so I don't know if I wont get access until I finish all of the patches first.
robust notch
I find it tough to get back into the rotation
crystal bluff

neon trellis
Or spend poetics on Ironworks?
robust notch
How far along the story are you?
neon trellis
Almost to leviathan
crystal bluff
i dont think you get access to shire until you finish 3.0
cold crescent
yo btw
crystal bluff
or is it as soon as you get to the city?
i dont remember
robust notch
You get access to Shire gear as soon as you access Idyllshire, from what someone said a few days ago
cold crescent
can i do anything to make money units off this alchemy thing
kinda want to grab a house sooner or later
crystal bluff
make and sell potions
robust notch
You can make high tier potions at 80
robust notch
@neon trellis What's your current MSQ called?
Oh, nvm
Didn't spot that 2.2 part
I'd say just go for Ironworks on your SCH
obsidian patio
Yeah you got a long ways to go
robust notch
You won't be able to buy Shire gear (60 Poetics Gear) for quite a while
If you're really desperate for 60 gear, you could buy crafted on the Marketboard, but I personally wouldn't bother
No need for gear above Ironworks when you haven't even unlocked content beyond 50
neon trellis
And I can only get poetics once a day? Or that's the daily bonus, and I'll get the regular reward each time on the Main Scenario roulette?
obsidian patio
You can get as many poetics as you want through unlimited sources such as hunt trains or spamming duties at the old level caps
robust notch
You get Poetics mainly from roulettes, but certain dungeons can be farmed
When I farmed Poetics, I just did roulettes every day
obsidian patio
Roulettes themselves give like 1k+ a day, depending on if you get first time bonuses
robust notch
(including the MSQ roulette)
Getting 500/600 Poetics from one roulette is quite great
neon trellis
Ok, and right now I only see Leveling, Trails, and Main Scenario. Should I be unlocking other roulettes?
Or that's limited based upon my progression?
cold crescent
u get more roulettes by just playin the story
altho
if u actually do the raids
which u should they're MAD fun
faint flare
You need to unlock content for that roulette to show up and be unblocked
cold crescent
u get roulettes for those too
faint flare
Ie you need to do alliance raids to unlock alliance raid roulette
Unlock more lv50 dungeons for 50/60/70 roulette etc
neon trellis
Thanks
open ember
When you get to Crystal Tower quests, you can unlock alliance raids. Namely it'll be unlocked when you finish Syracus Tower
cold crescent
would recommend unlocking normal raids as well since thats just fancy trials really

Thats not in normal

Not in normal raids

robust crow
for astrologian, if I rescue someone into earthly star, will it heal them if I pop it right away or do I have to wait a server tick first
I need to know for...reasons
patent citrus
rescue to earthly star? what's that for? 🤔
heady knot
so i want to farm Demi-Ozma mount
any discord for that farming?
or mount farming in general
obsidian patio
lilac flume
im trying to find or configure a timer for white script gatherer collectables, what site should i use and how?
obsidian patio
And then go to the Baldesion Arsenal pins for channels that run BA
I’m not sure if Garland Bell is updated for that yet, if not then use Teamcraft
robust crow
since you are on aether
highly recommend using that discord I just linked
they run ba like almost every day
heady knot
i have no idea what to do i guess i will ask around
robust crow
are you level 60 in eureka yet?
heady knot
im whm lvl 80
obsidian patio
Eureka Level, not normal level
heady knot
nah none
robust crow
okay so like
heady knot
tbh im not sure what to do
patent citrus
don't need quest to enter Eureka anymore I think 🤔
obsidian patio
You do.
robust crow
you are like at least a month or two before you can even qualify to try and get the demi ozma mount
patent citrus
hmm really? maybe I unlocked mine on accident
robust crow
you need to go through the entirety of eureka, all 4 zones, and get your elemental eureka level from 1 to 60
this is going to take you at least a month
patent citrus
cause when I tried to look for related quest to open Eureka, they werent there anymore
ooo that kind of sidequest
i misunderstood, my bad
robust crow
if you are wondering how to even start
google a eureka anemos guide
anemos is the very first zone
heady knot
thanks for the help
heady knot
well if i gonna farm i may as well do another class
robust crow
a pain
to say the least
no
it's not a normal level
eureka is a separate leveling system from main game
heady knot
ok
robust crow
you can only do eureka tasks as a level 70 or higher class
and you cannot level classes in eureka
you only get elemental levels
which are completely separate from your actual level
heady knot
ok
robust crow
so you can't "level another class", you have to go in as a level 70 or higher
patent citrus
is there any stories inside Eureka?
robust crow
yes eureka has its own entire storyline
that leads up to the baldesion arsenal mega-raid
patent citrus
does it unlock extra raids/instance that can added to the roulette pool? 🤔
robust crow
no
patent citrus
ah i see, so it's like another bozjan's castrum
vivid bison
it’s a relic based storyline
robust crow
it's significantly more complicated than castrum
shut skiff
do parties auto disband when the last member logs off? or stays between sessions?
vivid bison
it’s pre-bozja essentially
patent citrus
i haven't entered, but maybe would like to try sometimes 🤦♂️
robust crow
even if you entered eureka today
patent citrus
yeah, what i mean is it's the same type
robust crow
you're at minimum a month away from getting to see BA
robust crow
since barely anyone does eureka anymore
it is going to be difficult to find up to date info or get anyone to answer your questions
so feel free to ping or dm me if you have questions
heady knot
thanks for the help
vivid bison
If you join the BA discord for your data center, you might have better luck getting in, but you gotta level up your Eureka levels first, and ideally a Stormblood or below class
obsidian patio
The Eureka discord I linked earlier has tons of resources in it
heady knot
thanks i will read up first haha
i dont exactly have a lot of free time may do it slowly lol
kinda want the mount tho
heady knot
that mount is cool tho
vivid bison
literally
heady knot
cos the other day i farm some relics i saw a guy has it in my party
vivid bison
If you do eventually get to BA, don’t let mount thirst steer you wrong, BA (when organized) relies on clear communication, so listen to the pre-assigned callers
heady knot
no lol
robust crow
BA is clearable within your first 3 runs
heady knot
im still quite new to end game
vivid bison
You don’t need savage raid experience
robust crow
if you've never touched a savage raid then well, listen closely to callouts
vivid bison
you just need to listen
heady knot
just finish story a month ago
so just looking for some fun i can enjoy while farming weapons
vivid bison
BA is mostly just for mount and ele weapon upgrading, relics are technically finished in Hydatos, but Physeos makes Eureka more enjoyable by extension of big hits and more tankiness inside
robust crow
eureka and BA aren't endgame, FYI
right now they're solely just extra content
they're completely skippable
only purpose to do it is for the mount, weapon glams, and tryharding in BA if you want to go that route
nothing you get in eureka will impact current endgame
vivid bison
mostly for relic grinders tbh, and people who do the bunny fates for cash
obsidian patio
Eureka is actually a decent source of Gil if you get lucky with drops
robust crow
get really lucky and make 10m or more with 1 drop
obsidian patio
Some of the mounts, minions, or rare items can still sell for millions
robust crow
vivid bison
scarcity has a way of bumping up the prices after all
robust crow
scarcity and collectors
agile coral
Jonathas isn't selling any mounts for me, only minions and chocobo armor
patent citrus
😂 I think that's the problem why i keep avoiding Eureka, i'm not a collector
obsidian patio
The mounts are there, they’re labeled as such on their tooltip
patent citrus
but I guess if there are cutscenes, i'll do it
obsidian patio
It should be the void resonator, deathclaw something, and behemoth horn
lilac flume
I’m not sure if Garland Bell is updated for that yet, if not then use Teamcraft
im using teamcraft but the timers seem messed up and also arent making the notification sounds, do you have to have that tab open specifically?
obsidian patio
I barely use teamcraft so I don’t know :/

you can try checking their character profile on the lodestone, if they haven't hidden it, there should be a tab of owned mounts and minions

anyone could remember how to change the enmity marker pls?
smoky hawk
oh that worked! Thanks!
latent ice
to look like this one
green grail
that's two different UI elements, and you can't change how they look anyways
the top one is next to the mob HP bar to show like rarity/aggro type of a monster or whatever, the second one is on your enemy list
latent ice
the first one is from my enmity list on my ATH, shouldn't this look like the 2nd one?
green grail
i mean its not really possible to tell much from something so cropped lol

sorry, i just had to reinstall the whole game with everythings put to default, i'm trying to get the game back as before, i'm probably missing an UI layout or something then
the enmity list is hidden by default?
leaden ginkgo
ok
I cant close ffxiv
whenever i press "exit game", the game becomes black
and i cant task manager it bc it permanently goes underneath ffxiv
idk how to open task manager on my 2nd monitor either

try ctrl+win+D
leaden ginkgo
and then Win ctrl f4?
green grail
it creates a new desktop and you can cycle between them with ctrl+win+arrow keys
and you should be able to open task amanger
shrewd owl
you can set it so that task manager is always on top too
zinc orbitBOT

just check that

SMN and BLM use the same poetics gear, so if you already have Augmented Scaevan caster gear for your BLM, you won't be able to use the Tales of Adventure for SMN until you've discarded the gear already in your possession.

Or otherwise moved it out of your inventory/armory. Putting it on a retainer or into your glamour wardrobe will have the same effect as discarding it.

hi guys can somebody help me? i played this game years ago but i want to get back into it now. i have a square enix account already so i click that option on the launcher, and when i sign in it tells me to put in the registration code and it says it's already been used
of course it's been used this is my account lol
open coral
Depends on your queue times, but generally speaking the fastest path for leveling will always be: daily roulettes (x1 at least doing Leveling, Alliance Raid, and MSQ roulette), then specifically queue for the highest level leveling dungeon (not 50/60/70) that you can. @versed venture

hi guys can somebody help me? i played this game years ago but i want to get bac...
Have you purchased a new subscription and applied it to your account?
tribal sparrow
no i wanted to set everything up first before i bought the subcription
open coral
If you already have the game installed from having played it before, all you should need to do is purchase a new subscription.
versed venture
@tribal sparrow I would check mogstation
open coral
Then you'll be able to simply log in on the launcher as you would normally.
versed venture
make sure that is the account you want

you can see what expacs and stuff you have there

that's the only thing i see really
open coral
The actual game itself is a one-time purchase. So depending on when the last time you played it was, you will already own at least the base game if you previously played on subscription.
versed venture
you dont see something like this?
versed venture
okay so click the mogstation little icon
and it should take you to the page I just took a screenshot of
tribal sparrow
got it, it says free trial account type
open coral
Okay, so your account type is "free trial"
That means that you can just log in and play on the free trial if you want.
No subscription necessary.
OR
tribal sparrow
but it's telling me to put in a registration code and the code from steam is telling me that it's used already
that's what i'm confused about
versed venture
oh its steam
open coral
Did you trial on Steam?
If so, you'll need to access the game through the Steam version of the launcher.
versed venture
^
tribal sparrow
yes i launched it through steam
open coral
Then you should just be able to put in your SE username and password.
And the game will launch.
tribal sparrow
okay i'm relaunching
open coral
The only exception to this is if you purchased the full version of the game and applied the code to your account.
tribal sparrow
it says welcome to final fantasy, and i'm hitting next
and i'm hitting i currently possess a square enix account
and i'm putting in id and pass
then it goes here
steam pops up with they key before it launches, and putting that in
versed venture
maybe youre logging in with the wrong SE account? since you said you played a long time ago?
open coral
Did you purchase the full version of the game? Like actually pay for the game at some point?
tribal sparrow
i believe i did
open coral
Alright, that might be why you're running into issues.
