Screenshot that for us.

tribal sparrow
#

payment history says no payments have been made

open coral
#

Okay, so that actually looks like you have the PC version of the trial.

#

Not the Steam version.

#

If it were the Steam version it would say Free Trial (Steam)

tribal sparrow
#

oh so you're saying launching it through steam is giving me a problem then?

open coral
#

Yes

crystal bluff
#

yes

tribal sparrow
#

try the standalone?

open coral
#

Yes, use the PC standalone launcher.

tribal sparrow
#

okay thank you, i will try that

ocean tartan
#

Hello

#

Where i can find Gathering Macros?

#

similar to Crafters

open coral
tribal sparrow
#

@open coral hi man i tried the standalone and it's still giving me the registration problem

obsidian patio
#

@ocean tartan gathering macros aren’t really a thing, since they’re much more focused on maximizing gains through RNG procs rather than assuming no procs happen.

But if you want a rotation that always gets 1000 no matter what, assuming you got enough stats, here’s this
/ac Scrutiny <wait.3>
/ac “Meticulous Prospector” <wait.3>
/ac Scrutiny <wait.3>
/ac “Meticulous Prospector” <wait.3>
/ac Scour

tribal sparrow
#

i specifically played on this steam account last year with the trial with this email/account name

obsidian patio
#

For botanist replace “Meticulous Prospector” with “Meticulous Woodsman”

open coral
#

Yeah, I really don't know what to tell you. @tribal sparrow I know there are issues with the Steam version sometimes, and I don't know if the fact that you played before they changed the free trial terms would have an effect on what you're seeing now.

tribal sparrow
#

do they have like a live chat or something where i could tell them my registration code and they could tell me my account lol

open coral
#

They do not.

tribal sparrow
#

i don't wanna start paying for a month before i know if it even works ya know lol

open coral
#

You can contact customer service and see if they can help you recover your account, but a.) it's a holiday + weekend so it'll be at least a few days before you hear back probably, and b.) I don't know how much they can do since your account is a free trial.

tribal sparrow
open coral
#

My personal recommendation, if you didn't get too far into the game when you last played, would be to simply make a new account.

tribal sparrow
#

yeah i tried a new account but i have the registration code from steam

#

that's saying it's used

#

so i'd have to buy the game again too

open coral
#

I don't really know how the Steam version works (I have the standard PC and PS4 versions), but because your account type is "Free Trial", I'm not sure why they're saying you have a registration code.

south roost
#

Can you free swap between worlds in your own data center?

#

Steam works exactly like normal

#

Except you have to launch through steam

open coral
#

@south roost You can freely travel between worlds on your data center, yes.

south roost
#

And buy all future things through steam

tribal sparrow
#

is there a page where i can see the registration code that's connected to my account?

#

i'm assuming now

#

not

open coral
#

Uhh, I think you right click on the game in Steam and select "view CD keys" or something?

tribal sparrow
#

i mean on mogcenter or whatever

open coral
#

Oh

#

No

south roost
#

I'm also not sure why it's saying yours is used. Are you using the key for the base game or the key for shadowbringers?

open coral
#

You can't see it on Mogstation

tribal sparrow
#

i have only the base game

south roost
#

Then contact CS

#

Something went wrong

#

Either human error you are entering the wrong code

#

Or there was a mistake with your own issued code

#

Either way they will sort it out

tribal sparrow
#

i've played last year though on this account

#

but yeah

#

maybe the registered game code to wrong square enix id? i'm not sure

#

i hit additional assistance i'll just try that

#

i have a thought, is the trial through steam free?

#

or would i have bought the game to do the free trial

open coral
#

The trial is always free.

#

No matter where you played it.

tribal sparrow
#

that's what my store page looks like

#

did i not buy the game and just do a free trial?

open coral
#

It looks like that, yeah.

#

So the key registered to your account might be the free trial key. idk if that's even a thing?

tribal sparrow
#

yeah that's what i'm trying to figure out maybe that's what happened

#

a realm reborn is the base game right?

open coral
#

Yes

tribal sparrow
#

because mine doesn't say that like tiredboi does

FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition - $24.99
Subtotal $24.99
Total $24.99

#

Purchased: Aug 2, 2014 @ 4:26pm

open coral
#

Okay, so you did purchase a version of the game at one point.

#

Through Steam?

tribal sparrow
#

yeah that's my steam info

open coral
#

But apparently it's not registered to your Mogstation account.

#

Because it didn't appear there when you showed us.

jade quartz
#

Or you’re using a different login.

tribal sparrow
#

yeah possibly but this is my main email that i would use that i just recovered

#

i don't know what other email i would have used for this

#

Jul. 29, 2013

Registered Square Enix Account

#

plus that's when my mogstation was made

#

so

jade quartz
#

And have you tried registering your steam game key with Mog Station?

tribal sparrow
#

Aug. 19, 2019 (Monday) 16:49 (501 days ago)

Game Console

FINAL FANTASY XIV

United States

#

and i think that's when i played last year

south roost
#

Mog station has an item called Tales of Adventure: One Red Mage's Journey I & II

#

Are the 1 and 2 separate items?

sour path
#

if i get in the square enix shop the all in complete edition. i get a code or a physical copy because i read both

tribal sparrow
#

@jade quartz when i launch and log in it tells me my key is used

south roost
#

Because alot of the other ones just say journey II

jade quartz
#

Then you need the right log in

south roost
#

Then what's the difference between 1+2 and just 2?

jade quartz
#

I don’t think there’s any way we can help further 😔

obsidian patio
#

Just being fancy with names

south roost
#

Lol ty

jade quartz
#

Are the ones with just 2... gunbreaker and dancer?

south roost
#

Nope

#

Wow I just realized there is no dancer one

#

But no Samurai has a 1+2 aswell

jade quartz
#

Ah yeah since it’s only ten levels

#

Don’t worry about it

south roost
#

And red mage

remote lintel
#

gnb and dnc dont have them

south roost
#

Oh wait I misread

#

A ton of stuff has just 2

jade quartz
#

RDM and SAM are both Stormblood jobs

sour path
#

where i can buy the full game as a code and not physical. square enix just want me to sell the physical one

south roost
#

Paladin is just 2

#

Monk, ninja, ect

jade quartz
#

Which go 50–70

#

So I’d guess that’s why there’s naming inconsistency

remote lintel
#

@sour path the SE store sells digital codes

sour path
#

bit it said to me "physical" all the time

#

*but

#

even if i choose download

remote lintel
#

where did it say that

sour path
#

the first one is the game and the second one is the collectors edition item

#

zustellung mean "send" and "herunterladen" means download

remote lintel
sour path
#

wow

#

in english its easier

remote lintel
#

the complete collectors edition you have there is a download

sour path
#

i even choosed download on the german site

#

weird. thx

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I make it so I can place Summoner* pet skills onto a regular hotkey?

jade quartz
#

Actions and traits menu

#

Pet actions can be found there

#

Er they should be on your hotbar by default

leaden ginkgo
#

It won't let me drag skills under the "Pet" onto say Hotbar 1 for example

jade quartz
#

Those aren’t buttons you press though

#

You press egi assault 1 and 2

#

And Enkindle

#

They order the pet to execute the pet action

leaden ginkgo
#

oooh

stuck bay
#

For overmelding, do you need a specific crafter for each gear or any doh will do?

#

Do we have the graph for how many heaven on high runs it takes to go from 61-70 with 100% armory bonus?

Hi, i was wondering if i can get help about purchasing/subscribing game from here. So I thought I purchased the game for 30 days before but I am not so sure. This (below screenshot) is what I'm seeing on Steam which says I played few hours before. And if I'm trying to purchase from Square enix page then i don't see discounted version of the complete edition (for PC)

last cape
#

Is adventurer in need bonus locked in the moment you queue in or is it taken into account when you actually enter the duty

crystal bluff
#

when you queue

hasty musk
#

second, if you aready own the base game then complete edition is pointless because you only need to buy the expansions

fossil moth
#

@hasty musk this is what i'm seeing if i launch the game from steam

hasty musk
#

if your sub is up you need to go renew it on mogstation

#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
hasty musk
#

once you pay for the game and register it initially, you have to pay for sub once the free 30 days ends

#

it's 30 days starting from when you register the code, not 30 days of playtime

fossil moth
#

so if i would like to play it through steam, do i still need to pay on mog station?

hasty musk
#

yes

fossil moth
#

isn't winter sale going on rn? or is that something else

hasty musk
#

you own the game on steam correct

#

the steam version and the normal windows version are entirely separate

fossil moth
#

oh really?

hasty musk
#

they play on the same servers and stuff, but if you buy the game on steam you have to purchase stuff for the steam version

#

so what you should is pay for a subscription, not buy the game again

leaden ginkgo
#

Does anyone mind helping me install FFXIV? I keep getting errors regardless of what I do.
"Unable to download patch files. [30413][25008][20495][20945]"

hasty musk
#

because you'd have to make an entirely separate account for the windows version

fossil moth
#

where do i pay for subscription on the steam? cuz from mog station for some reason "steam" is unavailable

hasty musk
#

that's the transfer to regular service

fossil moth
#

btw thank you so much for your help @hasty musk

hasty musk
#

you've already done that

#

np

obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo see if internet explorer needs to be updated

hasty musk
fossil moth
#

no i'm only seeing transfer to regular service

hasty musk
#

oh, you're a free trial player

#

then you don't own the game

#

you need to buy it

fossil moth
#

so in case of steam, do i just buy the starter or complete edition?

hasty musk
#

honestly I'm not sure since I don't play on steam

#

since it says you already own the game it might not give the code to you if you buy the starter edition, and the complete edition on steam gives you both the starter edition and the expansion

#

but it might only let you buy the expansion if it thinks you already own it

fossil moth
#

yeah i tried adding starter edition to the cart and it says i already own the game hmm

hasty musk
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

idk then

fossil moth
#

lol i'll try to figure out on my own for bit more then give up, still thank you for your time @hasty musk! Happy new year to you.

Once I have unlocked Jobs, is there any reason to retain the gearset for the base class or use the base class?

when do you get your own chocobo to ride?

!faq mount

zinc orbitBOT
#
Mounts FAQ

'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.

#

@lilac flume take note of this as well

lilac flume
#

oh i misread that

#

i thought he was talking about armor

#

mb

paper stag
#

Hey, so to my knowledge what server you play on really only changes guilds right?

silver ruin
#

and housing wards (like some servers might have more houses available for purchase currently)

#

but yea thats pretty much it

#

you can go world visit and do stuff with friends in peopel in other servers etc

#

just so its on the same data center

paper stag
#

So is there any online data on which datacenter is best / most active and what server is best to currently join?

little swift
#

no official data

#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

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)
little swift
#

it also affects the people you can do marriage ceremonies with

muted pivot
#

If I bought the game through steam, where should I pay the subscription?

little swift
#

can pay via mogstation or through steam wallet

jade quartz
#

Steam wallet payment is also done via mogstation

#

All subscription methods go through mogstation

muted pivot
#

what is mogstation?

jade quartz
#

The official account management site

#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
muted pivot
#

thanks

#

oh, one last question, what is the max level I can reach without expansions?

jade quartz
#

60

muted pivot
#

and which expansion is required to go further? all?

jade quartz
#

Shadowbringers contains all expansions.

#

Well

#

To be more precise

#

FFXIV Starter Edition contains A Realm Reborn (original base game) and Heavensward (the first expansion)

#

Purchasing Shadowbringers gives you access to both Stormblood (the second expansion) and Shadowbringers itself (the third and current expansion)

muted pivot
#

ohh got it, thanks!

jade quartz
#

You cannot buy the other expansions individually any more

#

It’s just Starter edition and Shadowbringers

halcyon grail
#

So I'm looking at the Balance for DRG, and it says the BiS gcd is 2.50

#

I check my characters weaponskills to see where I'm starting, and its... 2.44s

#

I'm not using any buffs or materia at the moment. Does that mean I'm too fast?

crystal bluff
#

Not to a noticeable standard

scarlet arrow
#

it means the gear you currently have has more skill speed than is recommended. Not the worst thing, just not strictly optimal

oak ice
#

He's also not BiS so suboptimal kinda implied

halcyon grail
#

Its just augmented chrystarium and a deeplurker ring

#

and the resistance lance

scarlet arrow
#

just avoid melding skill speed and try to prioritize gear upgrades that don't have it

halcyon grail
#

I'm just baffled how it could happen

scarlet arrow
#

you're not wearing BiS gear

crystal bluff
#

Look at what the BiS has equipped
You're prob getting skill speed in a slot or 2 they arent

oak ice
#

The gear you're using has skill speed on it, no biggie

halcyon grail
#

Well, more room for crit atm

scarlet arrow
#

and BiS gear likely includes Savage armor

jade quartz
#

It’s not baffling, this is normal

#

What it means is that ultimately you’re going to be aiming for a gear set with as little skill speed as possible

#

Currently you don’t have that

#

Some of your gear will have SkS

#

As you progress in the gear ladder, prioritise pieces with no skill speed

daring jetty
#

planning to buy the game. cant find my country for billing address (SEA - Philippines). I'm on NA store. anyone know a workaround?

obsidian patio
#

Using a fake address works fine for the most part. Just make sure to write it down somewhere in case support ever asks for it

Question for anyone who plays on Primal ; Im going between starting on Hyperion, Excalibur or Behemoth. WHat is the difference betwen Legacy and just NA servers? and do you know hat server is decently populated rn ?

Hey guys I really need some help, how do I swap a skill in a slot to a macro, I know I can swap with abilities using /hotbar action "<skill name>" 5 8 but how do I set it to another macro instead of a skill/action

jade quartz
#

All worlds are populated.

#

!preferred primal

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Primal:
Exodus
Lamia

jade quartz
#

I’d recommend you pick one of those two

paper stag
#

Neither of those are taking new chars D;

jade quartz
#

Wait a few hours

#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

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.

obsidian patio
#

What you can do is swap that bar with a similar version with a macro on the desired spot

paper stag
#

And the progress will update with that refresh button right? Neither server will "lock"? Im waiting on a friend to start playing in a few days as well

broken perch
#

ugh that requires so much extra work, thank you though @obsidian patio

jade quartz
halcyon grail
#

So items have a "cap" on how much of a stat can be on an item?

crystal bluff
#

yes

halcyon grail
#

Because I tried melding crit onto my relic spear, and it said "critical hit+0"

scarlet arrow
#

whatever value the highest secondary stat on an item is is the cap

daring jetty
#

i think i just bought the game, where will i find/get the code?, and how long it usually take? (sorry i'm a bit paranoid)

jade quartz
daring jetty
#

SE store... currently it says pending on the order

fallow vortex
#

Is there a Square Enix support discord or chat? Im having accountemail issues

jade quartz
#

As soon as your order has been confirmed, you will receive an email with the code.

#

Shouldn't take too long.

lavish vortex
#

hi!! quick question, which healer is easier to play, whm or sch??

jade quartz
#

Neither are particularly hard

#

WHM is very straightforward

#

SCH has some extra resource management stuff

ok, thanks!!

is edenmorn helmet only BiS for casters?

fallow vortex
#

Okay it looks like SE account support is unavailable until Monday. Okay so what I am trying to do is play ff14 on my PC as I normally play on PS4. Do I have to login to the same square enix account thats on my ps4 to be able to access my character? Or can I make a new Square account and access my character in the in-game ff14 login?

jade quartz
#

Same square enix account.

hasty musk
jade quartz
#

Your character is tied to your account.

#

You must purchase a copy of the game for PC and register it to your account

#

including expansions if you have them

fast talon
#

Is there any use for combat materia below VI or am I free to dump/sell them?

jade quartz
#

Then you will be able to log in to the launcher with the same details you use on PS4

jade quartz
fast talon
#

How many do you need for the ARR relic? If nothing else I might want to try that one day for the title lol

fallow vortex
# jade quartz Same square enix account.

Yeah I bought the game plus all expansions for PC as well I just cant login because I forgot the password to my SE account and I cant get a new password because the old email I had linked to my account was an AOL account and apparantly AOL blocks all SE emails.

jade quartz
#

...check your spam?

chrome lintel
#

New player. Just finished ARR and currently doing 2.1 to 2.55.
IT IS A GODDAM SLOGFEST

I'd like to just skip dialogue and plot till it becomes good/relevant again. Does anyone know when it picks up again?

fallow vortex
#

I guess its an AOL issue

jade quartz
#

Ramuh and after, Linux.

#

But I'd recommend just taking your time and not skipping

fast talon
#

Honestly I found post-ARR better than pretty much all of ARR as a whole already

jade quartz
#

it's only a "slogfest" if you're trying to rush through it

#

which is a recipe for burnout

cold steppe
#

how do you gear yourself when lvling an alt class? mooglethink

obsidian patio
#

I usually rely on dungeon gear and poetics

jade quartz
#

With dungeon and tomestone gear

cold steppe
#

hmm

#

makes sense, but it also means i should prolly think beforehand on what i'd need poetics so im not with deadslots when it comes to gear, especially accessories since i noticed i often lack those for classes that i dont play.

#

thanks

zealous wraith
#

What's a good DPS class for someone who was exclusively played WAR since starting the game?

obsidian patio
#

Dragoon is a pretty straightforward melee DPS

zealous wraith

(I'm going through ShB at the moment but I hit the cap)

#

Oh, I see. I'll give it a try then, thanks!

As someone that mains Warrior and Dragoon yeah Dragoon is pretty straight forward

#

an easy transition to get into

manic flare
#

how do i obtain lady's yukata?

twilit arch
#

buy it from the store

clever cave
#

when do you unlock poetics

manic flare
#

it says i can buy it from the recompense officer?

twilit arch
#

only if you did the event

#

you cannot buy items from past events from the recompense officer unless you participated in said event

obsidian patio
#

@clever cave you get it from level 50/60/70 content and specific roulettes, which for most players the first eligible duty is Castrum Meridianum

clever cave
#

oh i meant, are poetics locked behind a quest

obsidian patio
#

Nope

jade quartz
#

You can earn poetics before reaching the level 50 MSQ, but it's unlikely that you will have any occasion to do so.

clever cave
#

i job/msq skip on my alt but havent been getting

jade quartz
#

Poetics are earned from participating in virtually any level 50, 60 or 70 battle content.

twilit arch
#

iirc someone had the same issue awhile ago where they hadn't "unlocked" poetics after skipping

#

and they fixed it by running castrum/prae

clever cave
#

o god

jade quartz
#

ponder that shouldn't be an issue

twilit arch
#

it was a long time ago but that's what unlocked poetics for them

clever cave
#

ok so i just need to earn some then

jade quartz
#

you can earn poetics below level 50 if you participate in a hunt with higher level players

twilit arch
#

so 🤷‍♀️

jade quartz
#

without having unlocked Castrum/Prae

clever cave
#

nice, ok thank you!

lime geode
#

When you gain Trusted with the Pixies - are you supposed to get 3 additional quests each day? I got them yesterday but they aren't available today (I did the first three).

analog gate
#

no, the additional three are only for the day you ranked up

lime geode
#

Ok - thanks 🙂

manic rune
#

hi, my free trial friend is interested in buying the complete edition on sale. can she buy it and then redeem the code after she's finished heavensward in the free trial?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

#

Though just as a quick note of caution, if they’re on the steam trial they must use a steam license for the game

#

Non-steam license will not work for PC

manic rune
#

so the code doesn't expire?

obsidian patio
#

Correct.

manic rune

is there anyway to get rid of the little lock icon next to the hotbar

#

Dark Knight stats are ~3500 Crit, 800 direct hit. Should I meld more crit or DH? DH seems quite low

slate arrow
slate arrow
gloomy mortar
#

What does that mean

slate arrow
#

By the sound of it, I assume you have enough SkS for 5 attacks under Delierum

silver ruin
#

crap, ok thanks

slate arrow
#

If you're already there then yeah Crit > Dhit > Det => SkS

#

Like yeah, in some cases it's worth melding DHit over Crit but for the most part it's such a small difference you can just go Crit all the way (assuming you're not overcapping)

gloomy mortar
#

Why is that? And is Tenacity materia useless?

slate arrow
#

Outside of niche prog cases, yeah. While it does boost both Damage and Mitigation, it's usually the difference of one hit at most.

#

And well

#

crit is just that good

#

since it boosts both Rate and Damage for crits

#

while Direct Hit just boosts your Dhit rate, since it's a flat 25% damage bonus.

#

And determination is like tenacity (for damage) in which it does boost your damage overall but by a pretty small factor in comparison to Dhits and Crits

#

not insignificant

#

but definitely falls into not as preferred if you're melding

If I bought ff 14 on steam do I need to buy the sub through steam?

slate arrow

no

#

you manage your account via Mogstation

#

will it appear after I purchase some?

Clear your cache and access the site again. If you sign in to Mogstation from Steam or have an active steam login (in the browser) it likes to kick you over to the Steam options

So what is the Tank of choice? I’ve been doing Pld, war and dkn simultaneously. I haven’t touch gnb yet.

any general tips for playing a tank? Since i finally could unlock gunbreaker i have mroe motivation to actually try the role. lol

can the collegiate attire slacks be turned into the skirt same way you can exchange gender locked gear?

aww ty

obsidian patio
silver ruin
#

ok thanks

slate arrow
true flower
#

also per pull rotate your cooldowns, starting with the longest so that its usually up by the time you hit the boss

#

Arms LEngth is a really good cooldown too, and reprisal is really nice

obsidian patio
cold steppe
#

hmm i see, i guess most of the thing will be just getting used to rotation if anything, thanks

turbid mural
#

I only have those three classes at 40. I haven’t done any 8 man raids yet (until I hit 50) and makes me wonder how tanks decide on who will pull bosses and who doesn’t

obsidian patio
#

For random groups it pretty much feels like a coin flip

true flower
#

look at your co-tanks buffs, usually whoever flips on first stays in my experience

turbid mural
#

That and knowing your gcds @cold steppe

You don’t want to stress out your healer(s).
Also make sure to ask your healer if they are ok with big pulls (if you want to do those)

Just some opinions from you all. I just hit level 80 on my pally, but I'm only about lvl 76 in story quests. What should I do? Take the gold or do you think I should save them while I level up a different job?

tribal sparrow
#

anybody know if i buy final fantasy online off of steam even though i already have it, would it give me a second code?

#

Id just complete story on your pld and level up sam on roulette

finite jacinth
#

Sounds good, thanks Br0

carmine goblet
tribal sparrow
#

the code i have on steam doesn't work in the account that i know of, it says it's been used already. and i have to wait until monday for square enix to answer so i'm thinking of just yolo rebuying it along with the expansion

carmine goblet
#

So what code?

tribal sparrow
#

the cd key that steam gives me when i start the game, when i log into my account it asks for a code and i put that in and it tells me that it's already a used code

carmine goblet
#

Odd. And no one would have access to your account or in your house or something?

#

To use your code instead of you?

tribal sparrow
#

no i bought the game in 2014 and i guess the only thing that could have happened is it's registered to a different account that was made at that time that i don't know about now

carmine goblet
#

Yeah that would be it. So yeah either waiting to see what SE CS can do or rebuying

tribal sparrow
#

i made another email to just play the free trial for now maybe i'll just wait the weekend out

Good luck

it's just annoying because i was able to sign into my steam account before on a different looking launcher, and now randomly it's opening in another launcher and saying i can't log in even though i only have steam installed

i got it, i found the file that wasn't deleting and removed it and redownloaded it on steam

is there a way to stop a macro halfway, like if i accidentally pushed it or something

Use another macro

Account wide mounts apply to all current and future characters

jade quartz
tribal sparrow
#

if i buy the game from the square enix store, the complete edition has all expansion and stuff?

warped nest
#

Complete Edition is Starter Edition (lvl 1-60 contents) and Shadowbringers (60-80)

#

So yes

tribal sparrow
#

how come when i hit upgrade from mogstation it's saying 60 bucks, but if i go through the store it's 30?

warped nest
#

Mogstation doesn't let you buy complete

#

Mogstation offers the option to upgrade your standard Edition to Collector editions

#

Which just gives you some vanity items like mounts and minions

tribal sparrow
#

it says i have trail account and mogstation says this
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition Windows®/ USD 59.99
This all-in-one bundle includes FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward, and FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood, and FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers.

#

so i'm just assuming buying from the store and putting in the code is better

#

since it's only 30 then

warped nest
#

Ahh

#

Do the store match your free trial account region?

tribal sparrow
#

i'm in NA i would assume so

#

it doesn't say region

#

just PC download

#

Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world.The complete edition is perfect for newcomers as it includes the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs – all in one complete package!

If I have a food/medicine buff while in the middle of crafting and it expires mid-craft, will it disappear instantly or will it wait until I'm done with the current craft?

glad comet

it will wait till you're done with the craft

warped nest
#

This applies for gathering and fishing too

fast talon
#

Thanks. That makes things a bit easier. Was overcompensating when to re-apply my buffs 'cause I was worried it would go away halfway through.

warped nest
#

You can stack them once

#

You can eat two portion of food and get 60m in total

#

So technically you can't lost buff time unless you eat too much too soon

fallen niche
#

So do people actually run castrum in bozja anymore? Cause I've been hearing stuff like how nobody runs it and stuff

hasty musk
iron rock
hasty musk
#

you don't farm dungeons for gear at endgame, you do raids for gear and farm tomestones which you can spend for gear

robust crow
#

there are numerous ways to get materia that don't involve buying it off the MB

#

in fact, buying it off the MB is probably one of the worst things you can do

iron rock
#

Where would u suggest farming materia then?

robust crow
#

don't bother putting materia in anything that isn't ilevel 480 or higher

#

hunt trains are one of the most lucrative ways

iron rock
#

I should be able to finish ShB base MSQ today

#

Like when you see people typing in the orange texts, about hunt trains?

robust crow
#

yes

iron rock
#

I see people asking to party up before they start fighting, do u get more stuff from partying up?

robust crow
#

one hunt train takes like 20 minutes and will award you with like 10 materia of your choice

#

you have to party up

#

the hunt targets die so fast that if you did it without a party you wouldn't get any contribution

iron rock
#

I see, so just form a party with others who isn't in one, kill the target when the person pulls and then disband after if there's no more continuation then I suppose?

robust crow
#

there are 12 targets in a single train

#

you'd stay for all 12 targets

#

i hope you've unlocked flying in every shadowbringers zone

iron rock
#

Not yet no

robust crow
#

you should work on getting flying unlocked in every zone

#

before going on a hunt train

iron rock
#

I'll finish my MSQ first then work on that I suppose

#

since some of the things are locked behind msq progression

jade quartz
#

No

#

Strongly recommend you unlock flying simultaneously with MSQ

#

Always

robust crow
#

that too

jade quartz
#

Aether currents are usually on the MSQ path

#

Don’t wait until after

#

Else it’s a huge chore.

iron rock
#

I see, I'll start doing that then, thanks

gusty pasture
#

can I buy the game even if I already have it and give the code to my brother?

jade quartz
#

Yes you can purchase as a gift

gusty pasture
#

As in a gift directly sent to his account?

jade quartz
#

As an email code.

gusty pasture
#

ohh alright thank you 🙂

plain python
#

materia is skipable until max level? :d

jade quartz
#

Yeah

pure bough
#

Is the jump keybind ever used in combat?

plain python
#

good, tired of slotting in and out the materia XD

jade quartz
#

Yes

#

There are applications for jumping in combat

pure bough
#

Are they job-specific?

jade quartz
#

Also you need it to navigate

#

No

robust crow
#

actually that's a good question lol

#

i can't think of any savage scenario where jumping would help

#

though i do it all the time to get into/out of aoes just because it makes me feel like i'm moving faster or something

pure bough
#

I'm using different profiles for combat and non-combat, so it would be useful to know if I can free up my thumb for something else

jade quartz
#

Sometimes helps navigating dungeon faster (ARR dungeons mostly)

muted sierra
#

I'm pretty sure jumping counts as movement for mechanics that require movement like the blizzard mechanic from SoS

jade quartz
#

Cuchulainn you have to jump in the platform

robust crow
#

oh yeah

#

that too

#

although walking in circles is what i usually do

pure bough
#

Is "the platform" in the middle of combat?

jade quartz
#

There’s weird position registration stuff that lets you do A4S sac strat

#

Yes

#

Also jumping during raid is just

#

A very helpful way to get someone’s attention

#

And be like “come over here for the mechanic!”

livid garnet
#

Anyone know anything about when the best time to do Castrum is? Can’t get enough people to do it

Which castrum

#

There are like five

#

That you could be referring to

livid garnet
#

Southn Front

#

Bozjan

jade quartz
#

Try the Eurekan Explorers discord for other communities that arrange dedicated CLL runs

#

Or just be in at peak hours

#

People do do it

#

Is "Set Focus Target" like a group-aid? Like marking a certain enemy you want focused or highlighted or something?

robust crow
#

no

#

the focus target only applies for you

#

it basically puts your target's nameplate to be visible at all times even if you deselect him

pure bough
#

In what scenarios do you find it most useful yourself?

robust crow
#

raiding

#

you can focus target your main tank

#

or focus target the boss

#

its primary usefulness is in raiding

pure bough
#

ty 🙂

robust crow
#

could even focus target your dance partner

#

to line up your burst with theirs

south roost
#

Me and a friend are playing the free trial but havnt subbed yet, can I still give him my friend code to get the benefits of a recruitment?

kind burrow
#

you need to buy the game and give the code in the free 30-45 days before the sub, is that what you meant?

pearl pecan
#

About Combo potency, for example skills has potency of 100 but combo potency of 450, am I right to believe that if you perform the combo the potency of the skill is 450 instead of 100, or is the 450 a multiplier of some sort?

robust crow
#

if you combo the skill

#

the potency is 450 instead of 100

pearl pecan
#

Awesome thanks

robust crow
#

every skill and combo are different in potency

#

there's no universal multiplier

south roost
pearl pecan
#

Yeah I was just wondering if "Combo potency" mentioned in the skill is the potency you get when you combo it since its not exactly explained anywhere I could find, thanks!

south roost
#

Also do I need to have a sub to invite him or do I need to get one first?

silver ruin

do you get adventurer in need bonus if you queue with someone as that class? or do you have to be that class?

you only get adventurer in need bonus if you queue solo

#

wait a minute

#

doesnt that mean full party?

robust crow
#

it doesn't say full party, why would it mean full party

silver ruin
#

iunno,i coulda swore i got the rewards when i queued with a friend when i was a healer in need, maybe not

robust crow
#

the bonus is very small anyway

#

it's hardly noticeable unless you are watching your chat rewards

silver ruin
#

:v issue is i need seals for my alt to get expert delivery to funnel gear for free company credits

and hunting log is done

it gets better when you're 70 or higher

sooo

#

im lv 80 on multipel classes lol

im running on an alt rn to level an fc

one way you could get seals is by doing fates

The Aether-crystal tutorial explains "fav destination" but not "free destination". What is the latter?

kind burrow
#

My friend is trying to download the free trial but is requested a code which he did not receive, does anyone know what to do? this is the 2nd email he'd tried already

robust crow
#

free destination is where you go when you use your return spell

#

that costs nothing but has a 15 minute cooldown

#

wait it's 15 minutes

sterile flower
#

Should I get deep into Alchemy for Skybuilders' Scrips?

So home destination and free destination are two different things?

@kind burrow Re open the game

#

just close it

#

and open it again

#

it won't appear

#

🙂

robust crow
#

they're somewhat the same thing

#

both are free teleports

kind burrow
#

we've already tried

robust crow
#

you only qualify for free destination if you have the security token thing from SE

sterile flower
#

Well it's happened to my friends and even I before.

Closing it and launching it again makes it not appear

feral narwhal
#

Are there any good Triple Triad guides?

robust crow
#

like, a gameplay guide or a collecting guide?

feral narwhal
#

Gameplay.

south roost
feral narwhal
#

Good decks etc.

robust crow
#

i personally just play off intuition, i'm not aware of any kind of strategy guide for TT

#

your basic competitive deck is just four cards that are 8/8 on two sides

#

with a strong 5*

feral narwhal
#

Remind me how I edit my deck...

robust crow
#

something like this is a strong starting deck

feral narwhal
#

Oooh

robust crow
#

there's an 8/8 for every corner and then you play around squall

feral narwhal
#

I can't find my TT window.

south roost
#

Start > Character > Gold Saucer > something like card list

feral narwhal
#

Oh ok

robust crow
#

but obviously depending on the ruleset you may need to modify your deck

#

same principle applies if you're using the reverse ruleset except you want as many 2/2 or 1/1 corners as you can get

south roost
#

Incase you have tried youtube I followed this guide when I first started https://youtu.be/zayI96sSLfQ

feral narwhal
robust crow
#

ignore the recommended deck

#

just build your own

feral narwhal
#

Ah ok.

#

I don't have a ton of cards tbh.

robust crow
#

then you need to start by collecting cards

#

you can't play TT without cards

feral narwhal
#

Yeah... Is there a guide on collecting them? >.>

south roost
#

Are you building for pvp or pve?

feral narwhal
#

Uh pvp eventually.

peak meadow
#

Is "you feel the presence of a powerful mark" guaranteed to show up every time a successful S-Rank has been spawned or is it only for some of the S-ranks?

feral narwhal
#

But for now I just want to break the ice.

robust crow
#

if you have MGP to blow you can buy the card packs at the MGP vendor

twilit arch
#

its for whenever an S rank has spawned

south roost
#

For pve you can get away with just casual cards you win from battles. Pvp I have no idea since I don't do it

feral narwhal
#

Which MGP vendor?

robust crow
#

they have a chance to get some nice cards

#

one of them sells triple triad packs

feral narwhal
#

In the main circle?

robust crow
#

there's only a few prize vendors

#

yes

peak meadow
#

@twilit arch So no exceptions, that popup will appear everytime I'm successful as a confirmation?

twilit arch
#

correct

sterile flower
#

Where do I start doing Hunts so I can start getting Sacks of nuts

peak meadow
#

Okay thanks 👌

feral narwhal
#

Oh the like 'Bronze Triad' card packs

peak meadow
#

Also, is there anything I can do with Faire Vouchers now that the event is long over, or do I just have a stack of useless currency in my inv

robust crow
twilit arch
#

stack of useless currency

peak meadow
#

Big oof

#

Thanks again

robust crow
#

yeah the card packs are a decent starting point

#

many good cards come from beating npcs though

#

you'd have to farm one npc for a bunch of wins in hopes they give you the card

#

just like in ff8

feral narwhal
#

Hmm ok. Makes sense. What's a good way to farm up lots of MGP?

robust crow
#

do your fashion report every week

#

do the cactpots every day and every week

#

do your challenge log every week

#

if you still want more then you can camp gates at the gold saucer

#

get some of these too

#

squadrons can reward them

south roost
#

If you get good at the wood choping minigame you can get 500+ in like 2min each run

twilit arch
#

nop

#

its just from squadrons

robust crow
#

just squadrons then

feral narwhal
#

Oh ok. I'll have to keep that in mind.

twilit arch
#

also if you have the willingness to level up choboco, high tier chocobo racing is very good for mgp farming

feral narwhal
#

Thanks for the help!

How do I use seeds ?

gardening seeds?

#

you need to own a house or apartment

then you plant it in a plant pot

And houses are hard to come by, as I understand it

you can't crossbreed seeds with an apartment though

you can only grow individual seeds

hasty musk
#

houses have more room and you can grow more stuff

robust crow

they also display in the housing ward for others to see

no one ever visits random apartments but people visit houses all the time

certain furniture selections can only be placed in a house and not an apartment

Is leveling roulette bonus separate for every job? Also is it a daily reset on specified time or it depends on when you did it yesterday?

twilit arch
#

its per character

#

and yes its at a specific time

#

!daily

Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 4 Hours, 0 Minutes, 48 Seconds

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks

raw granite
#

doesn't show use on the contextual menu

twilit arch
#

if its a faded copy

raw granite
#

it's the faded copy of the dark embrace, if that helps

#

yeah it is

twilit arch
#

then you need to craft it into the full thing

#

which alchemist does

raw granite
#

oooh I see

#

I like that

twilit arch
#

but honestly most of those low level faded copies don't sell well to begin with so unless you wanna make it for yourself then personally would just toss em

raw granite
#

nah I'll craft it

#

I have a little bit of a completionist streak

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there like a website for this game where I can see dps stats rotations etc?

hasty musk
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
hasty musk
#

the balance discord is a good resource for that kind of thing, but there's also akhmorning which has good stuff

raw granite
#

you gotta be lvl 50 to get a house, damn

hasty musk
#

saltedxiv too iirc

#

yup

raw granite
#

same for appartments I guess

robust crow
#

akhmorning only covers casters iirc though

#

specifically rdm smn blm

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes thats what I need. Master race only

#

@robust crow btw I took your advice yesterday and started leveling a paladin..got to lvl 35 and got bored af. Gonna stick to my blm to 70 and then level red mage and machinist

robust crow
#

most classes don't start feeling "right" until well into their 50s

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah it do be like that. However I must have these cool spells

silver ruin
#

but its the same information as stuff on the balance, just in guide form for non caster classes

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah i joined balance and gonna check that out. Even tho im new i gotta start learning stuff not to be a total noob when i enter my first raid

robust crow
#

don't worry

#

most people's first raid is level 50's labyrinth of the ancients

#

and everyone's gonna be a noob

onyx kiln
#

is there a way to make the title screen changes that occures if you select the older ones permanent?

robust crow
#

it's also easy enough to where it doesn't really matter how you perform individually

tacit epoch
#

Can i just drag and drop ffxiv from my hdd to my ssd?

twilit arch
#

not without a third party program @onyx kiln

tacit epoch
#

@silver ruin Thank you!

onyx kiln
#

@twilit arch so there is something i can do then

twilit arch
#

iirc its called ffxiv quick launcher?

#

has an option to edit the title screen

onyx kiln
#

and i take it it's safe to use?

twilit arch
#

afaik yes, but obviously any third party program is use at your own risk

silver ruin
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

what is Blade of Early Antiquity for? i see there's turn-ins for armor but not for weapons

robust crow
#

you trade it for the item that then lets you trade for the weapon

#

but early antiquity is from e1-4

#

it's pretty worthless

leaden ginkgo
#

just for glamours sake, where can i trade it in?

robust crow
#

eulmore

#

at the same vendors as the other trade ins

#

check all 4 of them, can't remember exactly which

leaden ginkgo
#

none of the 4 traders takes it

#

so im confused

heady flare
#

its at the bottom of the list

robust crow
#

you also need like 4 of them

heady flare
#

yeah that too

edgy stream
#

What's the fastest way to level 75-80 If you've already done MQ/Dailies?

robust crow
#

spam your highest level dungeon

#

pixie beast tribe quests too

edgy stream
#

yeah just finished pixie

heady flare
#

bozja is pretty quick as well

#

for levleing

twilit arch
#

bozja is pretty good if you've unlocked it

heady flare
#

leveling rather

timid geyser
#

Frontline

#

Oh wait you did dailies

#

Nvm lol

heady flare
#

i prefer bozja to dungeon grinding personally

edgy stream
#

yeah I did unlock it.. but I tohught it felt meh, it's like fate grinding kinda

forest laurel
#

it pretty much is yeah

heady flare
#

the CEs in bozja are more akin to dungeon or raid bosses tho

#

than a normal fate

edgy stream
#

guess it's just Dungeon spam for 3h then

raw granite
#

Is there a minimum level to get flying mounts ?

robust crow
#

every mount in this game can fly

#

you just have to unlock flying

#

for level 50 and under zones, the requirement is completing the ARR story

timid geyser
#

And for the other zones the requirement is pain

robust crow
#

for anything past level 50 (like HW zones) you have to do a sidequest of sorts

raw granite
#

Wait, even the behemoth can fly ? damn

twilit arch
#

yes

honest anvil
#

is there a guide on raid buffs?

raw granite
#

damn

honest anvil
#

all mounts can, including like malboro or adamantoise, etc

analog gate
#

like this?

#

only monk's brotherhood has changed i think

leaden ginkgo
#

In the Party menu there's something called Party Finder. You can use that to create a listing advertising that you want people to join your party for something

#

if you can get a single tank or healer, it can speed up the queue by a lot. But even as a DPS, 30 mins is about the longest you'll usually end up waiting for anything in the MSQ.

#

if you're in your server's Novice Network, someone there may be willing to join you too

steep heron
#

Cape Westwind is insultingly easy so you could ask someone to unsync it for you.

proud willow
#

and there is an option to jump into a dungeon/trial with an undersized party (with an option to go in without level syncing)

leaden ginkgo
#

I managed to get a in a party finally aha, but thank u for telling me abt the party finder I had no idea that was a feature, should hopefully speed things up in the future 🙂

steep heron
#

Party Finder is more often used for endgame like extreme duties and savage raiding.
Its a very useful tool

proud willow
#

you're not too far off from the end of 2.0, where you'll have the option to start unlocking EX difficulty trials. these are pretty much only done through Party Finder

#

especially because they're not in roulettes other than Mentor Roulette, so you could queue for hours and not get in

leaden ginkgo
#

Right I’ll work out how to properly use party finder then it seems very important, still kinda embarrassing I only found out abt it now aha

gray mortar
#

to start edens savage do i have to do the previous tiers of savage ?

twilit arch
#

no

#

you just need to have cleared the normal mode of eden, then you can unlock the savage version after talking to lewrey

gray mortar
#

ok nice ty

true marsh
#

Does data center matter much on NA? Like is one more popular than the others or are they all pretty even in terms of player base?

hasty musk
#

no matter which you pick you shouldn't have trouble finding people for content

jovial tide
#

Just to be sure, there's no limit to range between you and the target after cover is cast, correct?

gray mortar
#

where do I find Savage section in duty finder ?

fringe osprey
#

when i buy ff14 does it automatically apply or do i get sent a code?

worthy basin
#

is there an elemental eureka discord?

gray mortar
#

nvm its in raid finder

fringe osprey
#

tnx still doing the trail so dont want it so apply before im done

tired rover
#

What does it mean when someone says BLM rotations?

robust crow
#

BLM, like all other classes, have a way to be played "correctly"

#

a rotation is the order you cast your spells in

tired rover
#

k

#

why does the order matter tho?

robust crow
#

to do optimal DPS

#

if you spam blizzard 4 all day you're going to get kicked out of the group

tired rover
#

isnt optimal dps kinda based on where your at?

robust crow
#

which is why people talk about BLM rotations a lot

#

their DPS rotation changes every couple levels

#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
tired rover
#

so is that why there are few blms?

robust crow
#

there are few blms because that class is generally difficult to optimize well

#

it's one of the harder classes to play well

tired rover
#

ahh i c

robust crow
#

it's really easy to be a bad BLM

#

it's not so easy to be a good BLM and even harder to be a great one

obsidian patio
tired rover
#

So I guess, what defines a good BLM? The one that does higher DPS?

robust crow
#

yes

#

BLM has very very little party utility

#

if you don't do high DPS then you're...not good

tired rover
#

so its a nuker

#

How do they test their DPS then?

robust crow
#

using a parsing tool

tired rover
#

Gotcha

#

Is there a site that compares BLM stats? I mean.... I dunno

gray mortar
#

can someone explain raid finder to me please

green grail
#

if you're in EU you only really use it to enter high end duties with premade parties formed in party finder

obsidian patio
#

Raider finder is basically a semi-selective duty finder for high-end endgame content

#

But ^^

green grail
#

only JP datacenters use it for queueing and matchmaking

#

but it's basically the duty finder for "content where you need to know what you're doing and what's happening"

obsidian patio
robust crow
#

it's only used for max level content

#

so if you were trying to figure out how well you're doing before then, you don't really have any other way other than using a parsing tool

#

you can make inferences based on how high or low on the aggro list you are

worthy basin
agile laurel
#

blm is like samurai in that it's not entirely simple to learn, but easy to execute - however it's NOT like samurai in that a lot of execution issues will arise from movement

#

sry cant I left a long time ago

worthy basin
#

oof

dreamy warren
#

Are there any level 15-20 beast tribes?

south roost
#

How do I activate my tales of adventure? I assumed there would be an item but I havnt recieved any

dreamy warren
#

You mean the Wondrous Tales?

gusty pasture
#

do Byakko and Susano weapons have an upgrade that makes them glow?

#

the models look cool but it's lame if they don't glow 😦

south roost
#

Yes

robust crow
#

tales of adventure is those things you buy that skips the story or levels

south roost
#

^

robust crow
#

wondrous tales is something entirely different

dreamy warren
#

Oh.

south roost
#

Oh then no

robust crow
#

i've never bought a skip so i wouldn't know

dreamy warren
south roost
#

The skips

dreamy warren
#

Ok, sorry. No idea.

agile laurel
south roost
#

I got the silver chocobo feathers

#

But nothing else happened

#

And no mail either

robust crow
#

how far into the story are you? what skip did you buy?

south roost
#

Which is where my other store item got sent

gusty pasture
#

aww lame 😦

south roost
#

This is a brand new character and I bought the Realm Reborn skip

robust crow
#

check your current MSQ

south roost
#

I've already played through it once on another server and wasn't interested in doing it again xD

worthy basin
south roost
#

Ty

main axle
#

can i get somone who is awake and able to help? x3 im in a voice chat

south roost
#

How long does it usually take to get mog station items? My chocobo mount came instantly in the mail

#

But it's been about 20min since I bought the skip and no mail

green grail
#

up to 24h

south roost
#

Oh wow!

#

Guess I got lucky on my first purchase....

leaden ginkgo
#

When is the next likely expansion?

green grail
#

late summer/early fall this year

#

it'll be announced on february.. 5th? 6th?

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a good website/YT that recaps the story/lore? Kinda forgot some stuff while playing

main axle
#

anyone? ^^; could use the help

robust crow
#

what questions do you have? just ask

sullen lark
#

Just ask here, not sure why you want someone to join VC mooglethink

green grail
#

there isn't really a one ultimate source for lore afaik, ethys asher on youtube is the lore god but he doesn't really do msq recaps for the most part, just msq playthroughs if anything

main axle
#

im trying to get into the game for one and idk if there is a group for it

robust crow
#

again, just ask

#

not everyone is comfortable joining a voice chat with strangers

main axle
#

well im also guild hunting so XD not trying to be a stranger

pearl perch
