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)
oh so you're saying launching it through steam is giving me a problem then?
Yes
yes
try the standalone?
Yes, use the PC standalone launcher.
okay thank you, i will try that
#doh-dol-lounge might have some.
@open coral hi man i tried the standalone and it's still giving me the registration problem
@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
Thanks
i specifically played on this steam account last year with the trial with this email/account name
For botanist replace “Meticulous Prospector” with “Meticulous Woodsman”
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.
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
They do not.
i don't wanna start paying for a month before i know if it even works ya know lol
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.
i found this page https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=68476
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.
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
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.
Can you free swap between worlds in your own data center?
Steam works exactly like normal
Except you have to launch through steam
@south roost You can freely travel between worlds on your data center, yes.
And buy all future things through steam
is there a page where i can see the registration code that's connected to my account?
i'm assuming now
not
Uhh, I think you right click on the game in Steam and select "view CD keys" or something?
i mean on mogcenter or whatever
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?
You can't see it on Mogstation
i have only the base game
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
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
that's what my store page looks like
did i not buy the game and just do a free trial?
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?
yeah that's what i'm trying to figure out maybe that's what happened
a realm reborn is the base game right?
Yes
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
yeah that's my steam info
But apparently it's not registered to your Mogstation account.
Because it didn't appear there when you showed us.
Or you’re using a different login.
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
And have you tried registering your steam game key with Mog Station?
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
Mog station has an item called Tales of Adventure: One Red Mage's Journey I & II
Are the 1 and 2 separate items?
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
@jade quartz when i launch and log in it tells me my key is used
Because alot of the other ones just say journey II
No
Then you need the right log in
Then what's the difference between 1+2 and just 2?
I don’t think there’s any way we can help further 😔
Just being fancy with names
Lol ty
Are the ones with just 2... gunbreaker and dancer?
And red mage
gnb and dnc dont have them
RDM and SAM are both Stormblood jobs
where i can buy the full game as a code and not physical. square enix just want me to sell the physical one
@sour path the SE store sells digital codes
where did it say that
the first one is the game and the second one is the collectors edition item
zustellung mean "send" and "herunterladen" means download
the complete collectors edition you have there is a download
How do I make it so I can place Summoner* pet skills onto a regular hotkey?
Actions and traits menu
Pet actions can be found there
Er they should be on your hotbar by default
It won't let me drag skills under the "Pet" onto say Hotbar 1 for example
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
oooh
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?
any will do
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)
Is adventurer in need bonus locked in the moment you queue in or is it taken into account when you actually enter the duty
when you queue
well for one, if you already bought the game on Steam then you're locked to that and would need to make a separate account if you bought it from the Squenix store
second, if you aready own the base game then complete edition is pointless because you only need to buy the expansions
@hasty musk this is what i'm seeing if i launch the game from steam
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
so if i would like to play it through steam, do i still need to pay on mog station?
yes
you own the game on steam correct
the steam version and the normal windows version are entirely separate
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
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]"
because you'd have to make an entirely separate account for the windows version
where do i pay for subscription on the steam? cuz from mog station for some reason "steam" is unavailable
that's the transfer to regular service
btw thank you so much for your help @hasty musk
@leaden ginkgo see if internet explorer needs to be updated
I have been trying to just download the patch all day and it refuses to let me. It starts downloading pretty quickly but then it slows down after a 100mb and then just stops and give the me the error in the title.
I tried changing my DNS and running as administrator but it didn't work.:mad:
do you see this option on the first page?
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
yeah i tried adding starter edition to the cart and it says i already own the game hmm
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.

happy new year!
I updated IE and did everything in that post but it still won't install.
anyone remember on top of their head how to float my loft?
i only know how to float my furniture, but not loft..
err
why does this happen
look at the shadows
they change resolution if i press R
for some reason?
idk if i messed up something in my settings
oh nvm i fixed it lol
it was shadow cascading just in case someone is having the same problem
hey mate, i had exactly same issue and couldnt get it to work. you need to download a VPN and set it to hong kong or singapore just while donwlaoding the game. absolute pain in the ass but i managed to figure out that after hours of trying. there will be a trial on one of the popular ones atm im sure, good luck!
anyone wanna run duty finder qs
if i already have all the white script gatherer gear what should i stock up on with white gatherer scripts
Materia for selling or melding
guess i didnt know newer materia sold for much
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?
glamours
after you join a gc iirc but im not sure, its in the main questline i think
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
There aren't any class specific glamours and jobs earn exp for the base class they grow off of so there's no reason to keep the gearset just update it into the job
@lilac flume take note of this as well
Awesome thanks
Hey, so to my knowledge what server you play on really only changes guilds right?
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
So is there any online data on which datacenter is best / most active and what server is best to currently join?
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)
it also affects the people you can do marriage ceremonies with
If I bought the game through steam, where should I pay the subscription?
can pay via mogstation or through steam wallet
Steam wallet payment is also done via mogstation
All subscription methods go through mogstation
what is mogstation?
60
and which expansion is required to go further? all?
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)
ohh got it, thanks!
You cannot buy the other expansions individually any more
It’s just Starter edition and Shadowbringers
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?
Not to a noticeable standard
it means the gear you currently have has more skill speed than is recommended. Not the worst thing, just not strictly optimal
He's also not BiS so suboptimal kinda implied
just avoid melding skill speed and try to prioritize gear upgrades that don't have it
I'm just baffled how it could happen
you're not wearing BiS gear
Look at what the BiS has equipped
You're prob getting skill speed in a slot or 2 they arent
The gear you're using has skill speed on it, no biggie
Well, more room for crit atm
and BiS gear likely includes Savage armor
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
planning to buy the game. cant find my country for billing address (SEA - Philippines). I'm on NA store. anyone know a workaround?
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

does guilhest still worth to do for challenge log?
Ehh, if it has a super fast queue, sure; but the overall gains are pretty terrible
Especially past 50
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 ?
Do Triple Triad cards from drops have the same chance if you do the duty synced or unsynced?
AFAIK, yes
ty
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
Legacy means it’s a server that’s existed since the failed 1.0 version of the game. Just means there are old players there. Doesn’t really mean anything these days.
All worlds are populated.
!preferred primal
I’d recommend you pick one of those two
Neither of those are taking new chars D;
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.
From what I can tell, you can’t place macros on a bar with a macro
What you can do is swap that bar with a similar version with a macro on the desired spot
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
ugh that requires so much extra work, thank you though @obsidian patio
Yeah you’ll both be able to get in at non-peak hours.
So items have a "cap" on how much of a stat can be on an item?
yes
Because I tried melding crit onto my relic spear, and it said "critical hit+0"
whatever value the highest secondary stat on an item is is the cap
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)
did you buy the game on Steam or the Square Enix store?
SE store... currently it says pending on the order
Is there a Square Enix support discord or chat? Im having accountemail issues
As soon as your order has been confirmed, you will receive an email with the code.
Shouldn't take too long.
no, here is the official support centre https://support.na.square-enix.com/contacttop.php?id=5382&la=1&fty=1
hi!! quick question, which healer is easier to play, whm or sch??
ok thank you ❤️
Neither are particularly hard
WHM is very straightforward
SCH has some extra resource management stuff
ok, thanks!!
If you demolish a room in an FC house where do you get the money back? (Was in Shirogane)
You don't.
Ok no worries
is edenmorn helmet only BiS for casters?
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?
Same square enix account.
are you in the balance discord? if so, you can check the bis sets to see for yourself
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
Is there any use for combat materia below VI or am I free to dump/sell them?
Then you will be able to log in to the launcher with the same details you use on PS4
ARR relic if you want to do that for glamour :\ otherwise not really.
How many do you need for the ARR relic? If nothing else I might want to try that one day for the title lol
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.
...check your spam?
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?
Tried Spam and everything. I was looking into it and someone else seemed to be having the same issues as me
I guess its an AOL issue
Honestly I found post-ARR better than pretty much all of ARR as a whole already
it's only a "slogfest" if you're trying to rush through it
which is a recipe for burnout
how do you gear yourself when lvling an alt class? 
I usually rely on dungeon gear and poetics
With dungeon and tomestone gear
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
What's a good DPS class for someone who was exclusively played WAR since starting the game?
Dragoon is a pretty straightforward melee DPS
(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
how do i obtain lady's yukata?
buy it from the store
when do you unlock poetics
it says i can buy it from the recompense officer?
only if you did the event
you cannot buy items from past events from the recompense officer unless you participated in said event
@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
oh i meant, are poetics locked behind a quest
Nope
You can earn poetics before reaching the level 50 MSQ, but it's unlikely that you will have any occasion to do so.
i job/msq skip on my alt but havent been getting
Poetics are earned from participating in virtually any level 50, 60 or 70 battle content.
iirc someone had the same issue awhile ago where they hadn't "unlocked" poetics after skipping
and they fixed it by running castrum/prae
o god
that shouldn't be an issue
it was a long time ago but that's what unlocked poetics for them
ok so i just need to earn some then
you can earn poetics below level 50 if you participate in a hunt with higher level players
so 🤷♀️
without having unlocked Castrum/Prae
nice, ok thank you!
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).
no, the additional three are only for the day you ranked up
Ok - thanks 🙂
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?
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
so the code doesn't expire?
Correct.
is there anyway to get rid of the little lock icon next to the hotbar
character > UI settings > hotbar
you cant boot peopel out of your house can you?
Dark Knight stats are ~3500 Crit, 800 direct hit. Should I meld more crit or DH? DH seems quite low
you cannot kick people out of your house yes
whatever according to your meld tiers
What does that mean
By the sound of it, I assume you have enough SkS for 5 attacks under Delierum
crap, ok thanks
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)
Why is that? And is Tenacity materia useless?
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?
ahhhhh Im not getting an option to buy through crysta
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
is htere a way to get rid of this checkbox
can the collegiate attire slacks be turned into the skirt same way you can exchange gender locked gear?
no
aww ty
If there’s a setting for it it’ll likely be in Character Config > Inventory Settings
ok thanks
make sure tank stance is on, and do your best to look around for any mobs which your DPS or healers might have pulled, and general rule of thumb is to AoE when there's 2+ enemies
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
Tanks are super well balanced in comparison to each other. Only real notable differences is that DRK’s and I think PLD’s optimal opener assumes the other tank is pulling the boss.
hmm i see, i guess most of the thing will be just getting used to rotation if anything, thanks
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
For random groups it pretty much feels like a coin flip
look at your co-tanks buffs, usually whoever flips on first stays in my experience
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?
Whats your next highest leveled class?
Samurai 70
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
Sounds good, thanks Br0
Like a second license? Yes. Only one license per account though so it'd have to be a different account
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
So what code?
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
Odd. And no one would have access to your account or in your house or something?
To use your code instead of you?
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
Yeah that would be it. So yeah either waiting to see what SE CS can do or rebuying
i made another email to just play the free trial for now maybe i'll just wait the weekend out
Good luck
thanks man
how to link a monster name to chat?

@plain python in game?
Target monster but don't double click because you don't want to auto attack it, then type <target> in the chat box
it's been 3hrs since I bought the game. still pending. I've saw a post on reddit a year ago about 1day pending and got cancelled. is this possible? (I might miss the winter sale if my transaction got cancelled) bought the game on SE store
a commen thing i hear is turn off vpn
Solved the issue, nvm ^^
the SE store is always slow, because ScaleFast requires a few days, which makes it ScaleSlow :'3
You'll get an email when it's fulfilled so just wait
Usually, it takes close to 18 to 24 hours, though there are cases when it's gone beyond, sometimes.
cant even see their pf at that point
guys i think i broke everything. i downloaded the standalone and steam client at one point. i deleted both off my computer. now when i reinstall the steam one and run the launcher, i think it's bringing up the standalone launcher
What do you need to Augment the Cryptlurker gear?
i think exactly same thing is happening to me, bought a game on steam years ago but having trouble now. Let me know if you hear anything back from the support as well.
support isn't going to answer us until monday which is unfortunate
i was thinking of just buying the bundle and getting new codes on steam tomorrow
i see, i just don't want to pay extra lol
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
A simple echo macro will do
/echo blah blah
The echo will not disturb other players and this macro being used will pause any current macro
doesn't even need text, just /e is enough
Shadowbringers EX mount
it just say
failed to join party
my class slot is open
thats weird then, are you meeting the minimum ilv requirements or duty completion status requirements?
i just bought a account wide mount if i created a brand new character i would still be able to claim it the second time? or does it only apply to existing character upon purchase
how do I make sets an action on my hotbar?
Account wide mounts apply to all current and future characters
Just click and drag from the gear set list
if i buy the game from the square enix store, the complete edition has all expansion and stuff?
Complete Edition is Starter Edition (lvl 1-60 contents) and Shadowbringers (60-80)
So yes
how come when i hit upgrade from mogstation it's saying 60 bucks, but if i go through the store it's 30?
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
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
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!
yeah that's the us region
Yeah, it's NA
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?
nope it won't expire
it will wait till you're done with the craft
This applies for gathering and fishing too
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.
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

Well it was more the medicine really, since cunning syrup only lasts 15 mins
is there a way to display enemies/npc's bubble text in chat log?
Did they remove job quests? I’m looking for the monk job quest giver for level 65, and it’s not there (I’m level 66 now)
Underneath your next MSQ quest should be your next job quest when its available
To be more specific, by default, the top left of your screen has a Main Scenario Guide UI, which has a red
icon with footprints on it
under this thing
If you have a job quest available right now, a orange exclamation mark will show up underneath that
Ah
I see it now, thanks so much; it’s a small ! Mark with a circle wrapped around it
With the quest name beside it for the class quest
👌
can you set song in apartment?
Use an orchestrion furnishing to do that
Tyty
I'm about to hit 80 on my first character, a dark knight, when should I start putting in materia for my equipment? I'm still using IL400 equipment atm, only about halfway thru ShB MSQ
Minion, is it just a some toon following you around, or do that have a purpose beyond the visual?

So do people actually run castrum in bozja anymore? Cause I've been hearing stuff like how nobody runs it and stuff
when you finish the MSQ and start getting gear from the most recent content
So wait till I can farm level 80 dungeons then? Do I just buy the materia off MB if they're not too expensive?
you don't farm dungeons for gear at endgame, you do raids for gear and farm tomestones which you can spend for gear
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
Where would u suggest farming materia then?
don't bother putting materia in anything that isn't ilevel 480 or higher
hunt trains are one of the most lucrative ways
I should be able to finish ShB base MSQ today
Like when you see people typing in the orange texts, about hunt trains?
yes
I see people asking to party up before they start fighting, do u get more stuff from partying up?
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
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?
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
Not yet no
you should work on getting flying unlocked in every zone
before going on a hunt train
I'll finish my MSQ first then work on that I suppose
since some of the things are locked behind msq progression
that too
Aether currents are usually on the MSQ path
Don’t wait until after
Else it’s a huge chore.
I see, I'll start doing that then, thanks
can I buy the game even if I already have it and give the code to my brother?
Yes you can purchase as a gift
As in a gift directly sent to his account?
As an email code.
ohh alright thank you 🙂
materia is skipable until max level? :d
Yeah
Is the jump keybind ever used in combat?
good, tired of slotting in and out the materia XD
Are they job-specific?
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
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
Sometimes helps navigating dungeon faster (ARR dungeons mostly)
I'm pretty sure jumping counts as movement for mechanics that require movement like the blizzard mechanic from SoS
Cuchulainn you have to jump in the platform
Is "the platform" in the middle of combat?
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!”
Anyone know anything about when the best time to do Castrum is? Can’t get enough people to do it
Try the Eurekan Explorers discord for other communities that arrange dedicated CLL runs
Or just be in at peak hours
People do do it
Right okay, thank you very much
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

Is "Set Focus Target" like a group-aid? Like marking a certain enemy you want focused or highlighted or something?
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
In what scenarios do you find it most useful yourself?
raiding
you can focus target your main tank
or focus target the boss
its primary usefulness is in raiding
ty 🙂
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?
you need to buy the game and give the code in the free 30-45 days before the sub, is that what you meant?
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?
Awesome thanks
Yes, we both bought it on steam and are playing on the free 30(45) days that were given with the purchase
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!
Also do I need to have a sub to invite him or do I need to get one first?
do you get adventurer in need bonus if you queue with someone as that class? or do you have to be that class?
it doesn't say full party, why would it mean full party
iunno,i coulda swore i got the rewards when i queued with a friend when i was a healer in need, maybe not
the bonus is very small anyway
it's hardly noticeable unless you are watching your chat rewards
: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
hence my lack of seals issue
one way you could get seals is by doing fates
im too lazy for that tbh
it does not
lol
no need to ping other people
you can google it yourself if you want to
The Aether-crystal tutorial explains "fav destination" but not "free destination". What is the latter?
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
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
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
🙂
we've already tried
you only qualify for free destination if you have the security token thing from SE
Well it's happened to my friends and even I before.
Closing it and launching it again makes it not appear
Are there any good Triple Triad guides?
like, a gameplay guide or a collecting guide?
Gameplay.
Is this something you have to buy or do you get the free destination just by having the free app?
Good decks etc.
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*
Remind me how I edit my deck...
Oooh
there's an 8/8 for every corner and then you play around squall
I can't find my TT window.
Start > Character > Gold Saucer > something like card list
Oh ok
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
Incase you have tried youtube I followed this guide when I first started https://youtu.be/zayI96sSLfQ
This is apparently my recommended deck.
Yeah... Is there a guide on collecting them? >.>
Are you building for pvp or pve?
Uh pvp eventually.
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?
But for now I just want to break the ice.
if you have MGP to blow you can buy the card packs at the MGP vendor
its for whenever an S rank has spawned
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
Which MGP vendor?
In the main circle?
@twilit arch So no exceptions, that popup will appear everytime I'm successful as a confirmation?
correct
Where do I start doing Hunts so I can start getting Sacks of nuts
Okay thanks 👌
Oh the like 'Bronze Triad' card packs
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
honestly not sure what they've done with the security token anymore but there's an app to download, you can try setting that up
stack of useless currency
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
Hmm ok. Makes sense. What's a good way to farm up lots of MGP?
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
If you get good at the wood choping minigame you can get 500+ in like 2min each run
just squadrons then
Oh ok. I'll have to keep that in mind.
also if you have the willingness to level up choboco, high tier chocobo racing is very good for mgp farming
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
bit of an understatement
houses are, apartments are very much not
you can't crossbreed seeds with an apartment though
you can only grow individual seeds
what's the difference bewteen houses and appartments, functionally ?
houses have more room and you can grow more stuff
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
Does housing provide you with storing space ?
Actually, is there somewhere when I can read all about housing ?
Instead of pestering you endelessly
!faq housing
damn, handy
Only storage space for housing items
^
if you need to store items, use your retainers or chocobo saddlebag
I'm on free trial, and my saddlebag is also nearly full
I'm doing every crafting/gathering job, see
I see
if you've got any materia, feel free to sell that off since you're not really gonna need it
Yeah I did that already
oof
I have a music sheet, apparently ? How do I use this
right click, use
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?
Thanks
doesn't show use on the contextual menu
if its a faded copy
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
Is there like a website for this game where I can see dps stats rotations etc?
!faq balance
the balance discord is a good resource for that kind of thing, but there's also akhmorning which has good stuff
you gotta be lvl 50 to get a house, damn
same for appartments I guess
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
most classes don't start feeling "right" until well into their 50s
Yeah it do be like that. However I must have these cool spells
saltedxiv
but its the same information as stuff on the balance, just in guide form for non caster classes
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
don't worry
most people's first raid is level 50's labyrinth of the ancients
and everyone's gonna be a noob
is there a way to make the title screen changes that occures if you select the older ones permanent?
it's also easy enough to where it doesn't really matter how you perform individually
Can i just drag and drop ffxiv from my hdd to my ssd?
unfortunately not
not without a third party program @onyx kiln
yes
@silver ruin Thank you!
@twilit arch so there is something i can do then
and i take it it's safe to use?
afaik yes, but obviously any third party program is use at your own risk
^
what is Blade of Early Antiquity for? i see there's turn-ins for armor but not for weapons
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
just for glamours sake, where can i trade it in?
eulmore
at the same vendors as the other trade ins
check all 4 of them, can't remember exactly which
its at the bottom of the list
you also need like 4 of them
yeah that too
What's the fastest way to level 75-80 If you've already done MQ/Dailies?
yeah just finished pixie
bozja is pretty good if you've unlocked it
leveling rather
i prefer bozja to dungeon grinding personally
yeah I did unlock it.. but I tohught it felt meh, it's like fate grinding kinda
it pretty much is yeah
guess it's just Dungeon spam for 3h then
Is there a minimum level to get flying mounts ?
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
And for the other zones the requirement is pain
for anything past level 50 (like HW zones) you have to do a sidequest of sorts
Wait, even the behemoth can fly ? damn
yes
is there a guide on raid buffs?
damn
all mounts can, including like malboro or adamantoise, etc
Hey was wondering if there’s any way to find a party faster for dungeons, Ive had no problems so far but now waiting 30+ mins for cape Westwind :/

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
Cape Westwind is insultingly easy so you could ask someone to unsync it for you.
and there is an option to jump into a dungeon/trial with an undersized party (with an option to go in without level syncing)
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 🙂
Party Finder is more often used for endgame like extreme duties and savage raiding.
Its a very useful tool
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
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
to start edens savage do i have to do the previous tiers of savage ?
no
you just need to have cleared the normal mode of eden, then you can unlock the savage version after talking to lewrey
ok nice ty
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?
Crystal's got the highest concentration of RPers, but other than that it's fairly even
no matter which you pick you shouldn't have trouble finding people for content
Just to be sure, there's no limit to range between you and the target after cover is cast, correct?
where do I find Savage section in duty finder ?
when i buy ff14 does it automatically apply or do i get sent a code?
is there an elemental eureka discord?
nvm its in raid finder
you get a code
tnx still doing the trail so dont want it so apply before im done
yes

What does it mean when someone says BLM rotations?
BLM, like all other classes, have a way to be played "correctly"
a rotation is the order you cast your spells in
to do optimal DPS
if you spam blizzard 4 all day you're going to get kicked out of the group
isnt optimal dps kinda based on where your at?
which is why people talk about BLM rotations a lot
their DPS rotation changes every couple levels
!faq blmleveling
so is that why there are few blms?
there are few blms because that class is generally difficult to optimize well
it's one of the harder classes to play well
ahh i c
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
Yes there is. Pretty sure it’s the same range that’s needed to cast it
So I guess, what defines a good BLM? The one that does higher DPS?
yes
BLM has very very little party utility
if you don't do high DPS then you're...not good
using a parsing tool
can someone explain raid finder to me please
if you're in EU you only really use it to enter high end duties with premade parties formed in party finder
Raider finder is basically a semi-selective duty finder for high-end endgame content
But ^^
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"
Fflogs is the main site to view parses, if you mean that.
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
can u send me the invite link
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
oof
Are there any level 15-20 beast tribes?
How do I activate my tales of adventure? I assumed there would be an item but I havnt recieved any
You mean the Wondrous Tales?
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 😦
Yes
tales of adventure is those things you buy that skips the story or levels
^
wondrous tales is something entirely different
Oh.
Oh then no
i've never bought a skip so i wouldn't know
Which are you referring to? The story skips or the Wondrous Tales from Alipoah?
The skips
Ok, sorry. No idea.
Glowing weapon variants are the crafted variants. Byakko and Susano don't have one.
how far into the story are you? what skip did you buy?
Which is where my other store item got sent
aww lame 😦
This is a brand new character and I bought the Realm Reborn skip
check your current MSQ
I've already played through it once on another server and wasn't interested in doing it again xD
Ty
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
up to 24h
When is the next likely expansion?
Is there a good website/YT that recaps the story/lore? Kinda forgot some stuff while playing
anyone? ^^; could use the help
what questions do you have? just ask
Just ask here, not sure why you want someone to join VC 
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
but #archived-lore-spoilers would probably know more
im more of a talk to figure stuff out kinda person x3
im trying to get into the game for one and idk if there is a group for it
well im also guild hunting so XD not trying to be a stranger
is it true chocobo healers break once u unlock chocobo surge? 
no
