twilit arch
#

they fixed that quite some time ago

worthy basin
#

what is a chocobo feed?

twilit arch
#

and it was choco medica

pearl perch
#

so shouldn't unlock that one or all is goodand fixed?

twilit arch
#

as i said, it was fixed quite some time ago

pearl perch
#

I mean medica

twilit arch
#

again

#

it was fixed quite some time ago

hasty musk
#

not to be rude, but it's highly unlikely anyone is gonna join vc just to answer your questions, so please ask them here

pearl perch
#

was fixed ok

main axle
robust crow
#

all classes are good

#

tell us what kind of class you want

#

we can help narrow down what you might like

agile laurel
#

well pinned messages has the updated Larryzaur video which goes into probably enough detail to define if something catches your interest or not

#

you've also not picked a region role so you can't see recruitment channels

#

you should probably do that

robust crow
#

there's a recruitment channel on this discord to find guilds on your server as well

#

yeah

main axle
#

well im a priest on wow.

agile laurel
main axle
#

and i did try to get somoner

robust crow
#

what kind of priest?

main axle
#

sumoner

#

holy

agile laurel
#

direct equivalent in terms of 'as vanilla as you could hope for' would be white mage

robust crow
#

white mage is the closest equivalent

agile laurel
#

no gimmicks, it just does what it does

robust crow
#

but take note that ff14 healing is way different than wow healing

#

you're expected to be outputting as much DPS as possible during downtime

main axle
#

yea i tried out healing i was a..... err the one with the book before i left

agile laurel
#

yes. it is not a game where people are going to drop dead if you don't look at them for a few seconds

robust crow
#

because there's a lot more downtime in terms of raidwide damage taken

main axle
#

like i said i did try out healing on low levels in this game i was the job that was the one that uses a book and has carbunkle as a pet

agile laurel
#

yeah, healer checks are usually more obtuse than like, random dots or randomly targeted heal-throughs or so

#

you picked arcanist. it starts as a dps, and has a chance to branch into a healer at level 30

#

summoner/scholar is an exception in this game and tbh closer in concept to wow specs

#

similar look, vaguely similar kit, different role

main axle
#

well in the dungion finder it put me as a healer XD but idk what level i was

agile laurel
#

over 30, then

#

you ended up picking scholar

robust crow
#

scholar's probably closest to a discipline priest

#

though not quite

agile laurel
#

disagree, i'd say paladin

#

strong heals but not particularly on demand

robust crow
#

there's not really any kind of good comparison to disc priest in ff14

main axle
#

Well I am so far out there and not knowing what I'm doing, that's why I just picked a class at random and tried it out

robust crow
#

just do the story

#

no matter how far out there you are, the story is the rock in ff14

#

just keep doing story

nocturne mountain
#

Alright hi all of my friends that play are asleep rn and im impatient, theres a sale rn on steam where its like half off and i wanna buy it but someone told me since rn im playing on the free version id have to start over on the full version is this true??

main axle
#

Doesn't the story depend on your job

agile laurel
#

not really no

nocturne mountain
# robust crow no

thank you! I figured it was no but i was scared bc like i love my baby boy i dont wanna make a new one

robust crow
#

if you are on free trial and you purchase any version of the game, you will have to start paying the subscription fee

#

after the free month of course

#

so it's generally recommended to play out the trial first

#

but if you really care about the social features like guilds and stuff then you may as well just get the game

main axle
#

Well what kind of healer Pav's are there?

robust crow
#

because the free trial restricts those, as you probably know

agile laurel
#

yup. you're under no time restiction or obligation on the trial, but once you go onto paid model you cannot go back

main axle
#

Paths

robust crow
#

there's literally only 3 healers

#

scholar, white mage, astrologian

nocturne mountain
#

oh ok so if i buy it on sale i cant just wait and use up the free one?

main axle
#

I've never heard of the last one

nocturne mountain
#

cuz its a steam sale

robust crow
#

i don't think there's any close comparison to astro in terms of wow classes

agile laurel
#

astrologian is a simple healer in its role but carries half its kit in buffing party members' damage output

robust crow
#

astro is the busiest healer

#

they have a ton of shit to do

agile laurel
#

to put it one way, astro is a busy healer but it's not busy at actually healing

agile laurel
#

although make sure you're reading modern stuff about astro if you're trying to make a decision

main axle
#

I am a returning player LOL

agile laurel
#

a lot of its elements got gutted reworked in the most recent expansion

main axle
#

So I'm guessing a lot has changed since when I touch this game last

robust crow
#

well when was the last time you touched this game

main axle
#

Good question give me a second I'll look at my Steam

#

It says April 16th 2020

dreamy warren
#

If you want an apartment, does it have to be in the residence to which you are aligned (Maelstrom then Mist, etc)?

green grail
#

no, can be any

dreamy warren
#

Hot damn

robust crow
#

i mean

#

really not much has changed in ff14 between now and april

agile laurel
#

you likely just didn't see much of it

robust crow
#

and if you haven't gotten past ARR anyway then the game is no different

dreamy warren
#

COVID killed all the NPCs in the game. It's now a post-apocalypse simulator.

robust crow
#

i guess they added flying to ARR zones

main axle
#

Arr?

agile laurel
#

realm reborn

#

basegame

robust crow
#

a realm reborn is the first story arc of the game

#

there's ARR, heavensward, stormblood, shadowbringers

main axle
#

Oh yeah that was the last thing that I remember Was A Realm Reborn

robust crow
#

if you aren't past level 50 then you are still in ARR

agile laurel
#

basegame is ARR because in the beginning of FF14, it was kinda a disaster so they pulled a Cataclysm and closed and remade the game

#

hence, realm reborn

robust crow
#

which also means you wouldn't have noticed any of the changes the game's gone through since april anyway

#

you might see players flying around your leveling areas

#

that's about it

main axle
#

The last thing I remember was doing the quest stuff that taught you about companies

agile laurel
#

not far at all then

robust crow
#

so you're in the early early game

dreamy warren
#

I think flying was around prior to april for ARR zones.

robust crow
#

5.3 was in august

#

we didn't get ARR flying before 5.3

dreamy warren
#

Was that when they introduced flying to ARR zones?

robust crow
#

yes it was with 5.3

dreamy warren
#

.... Shit. I thought I was playing longer than that.

main axle
#

So would there be any active guilds to possibly join? And I'm not sure if I'm able to switch home world since I played on the basic starter trial thing when you buy the game

robust crow
#

sorry it wasn't july

#

it was august

south roost
#

How can you tell if you're on a free trial?

hasty musk
#

check mogstation

robust crow
#

are you paying money every month?

hasty musk
#

^ or that

south roost
#

You would think

#

I havnt paid any money

robust crow
#

i sure as hell would want to know where $15 is going every month

#

you're probably on free trial then

south roost
#

But I used a item that says it can't be used on free trial

#

And now I'm lv70

hasty musk
#

did you buy the game recently

south roost
#

Yes

agile laurel
#

@main axle you should really go to #612757637813239808, get your relevant roles and check recruitment channels yourself

hasty musk
#

you're not on the free trial then

agile laurel
#

there are groups to join, but we can't really tell you any more

hasty musk
#

you're in the free 30 days you get when you buy the game

#

as soon as it ends you'll have to start paying sub

#

the item you used was a level skip

#

which most people would probably have recommended you didn't use, but eh

#

too late now

main axle
#

@agile laurel I didn't know what roles does life because I was unsure on that as well LOL

agile laurel
#

you need one for region

#

figure out what datacenter you're on, you can do that from character selection

robust crow
#

yeah like forreal if you're relatively new to the game the level skips really aren't worth getting

main axle
#

Okay so what roles are for the Crystal and stuff like that

robust crow
#

crystal is a datacenter

agile laurel
#

those are datacenters, yes

robust crow
#

there are three north american datacenters

#

crystal, aether, and primal

south roost
#

I'm not? On my other account I'm lv60 and done with ARR

main axle
#

Which one would I be?

robust crow
#

you can only play with people on your datacenter

south roost
#

I just made a new account on a new server

agile laurel
#

We have no idea

robust crow
#

what server are you on lex?

main axle
#

I am EST time zone

cursive terrace
#

what's the point of elemental damage? do some ennemies have elemental weaknesses?

south roost
#

And wanted to play dancer so I bought a lv70 to unlock lv50 dancer

hasty musk
#

period

robust crow
#

there's something like elemental damage in eureka

south roost
#

I havnt gotten dancer yet but I should be able to. I bought the bundle on steam

robust crow
#

but that's entirely different than, say, fire 4 on black mage

agile laurel
#

@main axle ingame, top right. world name is around there. what is it?

hasty musk
#

also dancer starts at 60, not 50

cursive terrace
#

i see

south roost
#

So does that mean I no longer qualify to enter someone's friend code?

hasty musk
#

I'm pretty sure you still can

main axle
#

Sec ill look

leaden ginkgo
#

Just soloed howling eye extreme as a monk for the first time ! I'm sure its not a big deal but glad i did it. Where the hell is my mount

south roost
#

I've never paid a sub so I was hoping I still qualified

robust crow
#

the drop rate is very low

robust crow
#

on those mounts

leaden ginkgo
#

Bruh

hasty musk
#

keep doing it, you'll get it eventually

#

probably

pure bough
#

If I log out in the middle of the wilderness, will I re-spawn there when I log in again later, or will I be returned to some other place?

agile laurel
#

you'll just be there

#

you don't get moved

pure bough
#

ty

hasty musk
#

you should usually log out in cities or settlements though

#

for the rested exp bonus

main axle
#

oh wait no i found it XD man its been too long for me i forgot to go to mog

agile laurel
#

oh. local.

#

you're on crystal

main axle
#

ahhh ok so select crystal role

agile laurel
main axle
#

and thats where i go for guild looking stuff x3

agile laurel
#

i believe there's also a system for finding FCs in game but fucked if I can remember how

#

lol

robust crow
#

hardly a system

agile laurel
#

that should suffice for window shopping anyway

robust crow
#

shouting in a major city or in novice network

#

and then applying to random guilds

#

then there's the website community finder

agile laurel
#

use discord search with malboro as a search term and browse

#

i also realised if you do so you'll get mine as first result. funny that

oak talon
#

how do i tab out for extended period of time without getting my audio cut out?

robust crow
#

try playing in borderless windowed

#

instead of fullscreen

agile laurel
#

you may also have audio settings set to mute audio when the tab is out of focus

teal dragon
#

how hard it is to get the kirin mount?

robust crow
#

the fights themselves aren't that hard

#

so depending on your luck it can be quick...or very slow

#

same principle except for the ARR extremes

#

but you can solo those if you're 80

#

you need to get the mount from each ARR EX encounter

teal dragon
#

ok

oak talon
agile laurel
#

you're saying when you tab back in the audio is gone?

oak talon
#

yes... it happened so many times since i started few days ago

agile laurel
#

that's odd

#

i've never heard of that happening, sorry

#

misunderstood you

robust crow
#

have you tried borderless windowed mode?

oak talon
#

i haven't cuz it made my game stuttery even at stable 60fps for unknown reason

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok so how low is the drop on garuda before i spend all day doing this

robust crow
#

not sure the exact rates are known

#

maybe 5-10%?

leaden ginkgo
#

Fuck that lmaooo

cold steppe
#

Is ventures main source from GC as well (like prisms)?

twilit arch
#

its the easiest way of getting them yeah

vernal dove
#

cocobusi is the killer right?

#

he got that demon in him

#

i knew it

broken oxide
#

can i ask payment related issues here as well to see if anyone knows a solution?

agile laurel
#

go for it

broken oxide
#

Trying to buy 30days through steam one time payment and gettign error code i2501

I'm not using a VPN, i've not entered any payment info and I don't know how to get my payment through.

I've submitted a ticket but since it's the holidays i don't expect a quick response and hope that maybe someone here can help me out

someone has advised me to try on mobile, but same error there

silver ruin
#

do expert delivery turn ins count towards your FC if you're on a diff server world visiting?

#

nvm i got the answer

cold steppe
#

do the field mastery skills from gatherer stack? or you just use the best one/depending on situation lower one if it allows

#

also from which lvl can i use firmament to lvl up DOL?

north peak
#

hi, can i get fast help over here?

green grail
#

if you ask your question, probably yes

north peak
#

my friend accidentally purchased the NA code for ffxiv, when he intended to buy the EU code, is there any solution for that?

cold steppe
#

I dont think it matters given you can change your server freely, doesnt it?

#

as long as it's on the right platform he intended to

dreamy warren
#

How does the Aetherial wheel work, and can I use it for my FC if we dont have housing but I have an apartment?

north peak
#

when he tries to enter it, it says "invalid region" or something like that, so idk what to do

boreal vale
#

i think i locked myself out of my account because i didnt play the game for months and i never really played that much to begin with, but now i cant reset my password or id because i set a random birthday apparently

#

i cant make another account either because i cant use the product code it tells me. im new to this shit if im allowed to swear

oak ice
#

@north peak he needs to buy the same region as he's registered to, all he can do is contact support and explain the situation. He's not the first one to do that so they should be relatively quick to help him

#

@cold steppe Just use the best one, should be fine in 99% of cases. And Diadem is available from level 10 or 20, very early

cold steppe
#

yeah i noticed as im already in diadem, tho i must say it's kinda confusing for me, it seems like lvling there is preety fast but dont i need to gather specyfic thing at least once to request my servants or w/e they were called to gather that specyfic thing?

oak ice
#

Retainers can't gather diadem items anyway

#

You're "supposed" to gather stuff that will help you craft the turn-ins

#

Most people just gather either what gives the most money or exp

cold steppe
#

no i dont mean the diadem stuff, normal crafting stuff

cold steppe
#

like for example ash log, if i never collect ash log myself would my retainers never be able to get that for me?

twilit arch
#

correct

oak ice
#

You can go and gather those after leveling up, your retainers can't out-level you on any job anyway

#

Correct

twilit arch
#

you have to go out and gather the item atleast once yourself before your retainer can gather it

cold steppe
#

gochu

#

thanks!

frank wigeon
#

hey i got a 1.0 character that has an red X in the character selection. cant access it at all. do i need to transfer the character or is it gone forever?

#

also, may i ask if that character, if accessible, can use the tattoo or not

twilit arch
#

are you on entry or standard sub

#

and if you're on entry, is the 1.0 character the 2nd character on the server?

frank wigeon
#

standard!

#

i can send a screen shot if youd like

#

the name is greyed out

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok so let me get this straight. For an ex trial. In a party There's rng if you get a mount to drop then further rng to ROLL for that drop ??

oak ice
#

Yes

broken oxide
#

Trying to buy 30days through steam one time payment and gettign error code i2501

I'm not using a VPN, i've not entered any payment info and I don't know how to get my payment through.

I've submitted a ticket but since it's the holidays i don't expect a quick response and hope that maybe someone here can help me out

someone has advised me to try on mobile, but same error there

---> in meantime also tried to clear cache/cookies, try on private browsing and use other browsers, kept getting same error

frank wigeon
#

yes @leaden ginkgo

twilit arch
#

yeah, if you could post a screenshot that'd be helpful

leaden ginkgo
#

Wtf

#

How do 60-70% of players even have the damn mounts

oak ice
#

You get a totem every clear that can eventually be traded for the mount at 99 to 1

#

They grind a lot

faint flare
#

Because old mounts are easy to grind and you can eventually buy them for 99 totems

oak ice
#

And probably 70% of the playerbase don't even do current extreme fights and wait until they're old and have their rates boosted

frank wigeon
#

It says " Cannot connect with this character with our current account"

forest lark
#

Where can I get aug scavean set?

#

I discarded mine from boost long ago

faint flare
#

Rhalgars or kugane are completing base Stormblood

twilit arch
#

you're 100% certain you're on standard sub?

frank wigeon
#

100% sure, i have 8 chractars i can access

#

i promise

faint flare
#

8 characters is entry

twilit arch
#

on a server?

frank wigeon
#

on a world

oak ice
#

It doesn't show that you can make anymore on that server, tho

kind burrow
#

can you transfer server for free in a certain amount of time after character creation?

twilit arch
#

no, the only time server transfer is if free is if transferring from congested to preferred or from any world to a new (which there aren't any new worlds)

kind burrow
#

thank you.

frank wigeon
#

I understand what you are saying haha, i cannot create another character on that world since its populated for now but i can make 8 characters per world

#

this was a few days in during 1.0

digital grove
#

So what’s the best way to level from 62-80

twilit arch
#

just to double check, please go to your mogstation and screenshot this section

oak ice
#

Roulettes, HoH and trusts

frank wigeon
#

@digital grove do HoH till 71 then dungeons

#

understood

digital grove
#

Ah ok ty @frank wigeon

leaden ginkgo
#

this may be a stupid question but can anyone recommend me a good, natural looking skin color for seekers of the sun. i swear ive edited my character for hours and every time i step into a sunny area im either too bright or way too dark, plus i usually look really awkward in cutscenes, like out of place compared to npc's skin colors

frank wigeon
#

ill post in enex support

#

sorry to bother

#

@leaden ginkgo 1 column and 6th row down

#

for male

twilit arch
#

my suggestion would be to contact support since not really sure how the 1.0 character stuff works tbh

frank wigeon
#

i appreciate the help honeslty

worthy basin
#

"2370 days" damn!

frank wigeon
#

it must be server side

twilit arch
#

@leaden ginkgo while i have no suggestions on skin colour, what i can suggest is if there's a miqo'te npc you like the skin tone of you can use https://garlandtools.org/db/# to look up their appearance data and use that

crisp gate
#

hey guys, newbie here. I wanna play ffxiv with my friends but it seems like the Lich world is currently congested

forest laurel
#

gonna have to wait until later sadly

twilit arch
#

!status lich

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

Lich is currently Online
This server is currently: Preferred
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

twilit arch
#

so not congested, but temporarily locked

crisp gate
#

oooh ok ty

twilit arch
#

which means either waiting until a quieter hour when ppl have logged off for the night

forest laurel
#

try at late night or early morning

twilit arch
#

or choose a different server

crisp gate
#

ty guys

#

ye ig im just gonna stay up late lol

#

at least it isnt permenant

frank wigeon
#

ive been googling how to know whether an item is able to be put in armoire, it says it needs to be untradeable, unique, and class specific and yet a paladin item cannot be put in. what item can be put in armoire, thank you !

twilit arch
#

the armoire is predominately for seasonal items

frank wigeon
#

i see!

twilit arch
#

you can tell what can go in the armoire by looking at the tooltip tho

frank wigeon
#

i will look at the tooltip again

#

ohh!

#

wow

twilit arch
#

if it has the first icon highlighted then it can go in the armoire

frank wigeon
#

thank you so much

forest laurel
frank wigeon
#

that helps a lot

#

i thought i had to do it manually

#

manually check*

daring jetty
#

do i have to redownload everything to transition from free trial to the original game?

crisp gate
#

when would you guys say quiet hours begin?

daring jetty
crisp gate
#

cool

#

thanks

daring jetty
#

but thats just me when I queue, maybe there's 2nd opinion

gray adder
#

Hello guys , i left the game when stormblood released, is it worth starting the game again? Like New changes or updates to look for ?

outer plank
#

new content

#

new story

#

still the same game

gloomy ice
#

TP has been removed. AoE to your heart's content. Tank aggro is much easier to manage now. It's basically impossible to lose aggro to another player unless you turn off stance for whatever reason (it's not necessary to turn it off anymore either). The rest is, yeah, the standard stuff. More content and story.

manic flare
#

if u level up in the middle of a roulette, do you get the bonuses for the new level or the level upon joining the roulette?

gray adder
#

I went to mogstation to check my account but I didn’t find any characters, is there a possibility they deleted it due to inactivity?!

jovial tide
#

What's the thought process when making the decision to either cover or intervention?

faint flare
#

Cover for if the target cant survive. Intervention to help the MT take busters

#

You'll rarely ever use cover

jovial tide
#

It just seems like most mechanics happen so fast I just don't have time to think it through

faint flare
#

Mechanics are scripted out the ass

jovial tide
#

Not so much raids, just dungeons

faint flare
#

Stuff always happens at the exact same time every fight

#

In dungeons you'll rarely use either in favour of Sheltron

#

Maybe if you have extra gauge to spare

jovial tide
#

So for boss mechanics that target a random player, do you just 'try cover first, if not in range intervention'?

faint flare
#

You'll cover if they wont survive really

#

It got super nerfed to the ground and its barely used these days

#

Over the whole course of the expansion, I've seen people use it like twice

jovial tide
#

And on top of that, how do I decide between veil and intervention?

faint flare
#

Intervention helps the MT take busters

#

Veil mitigates raid wides

little swift
#

Intervention is single target

faint flare
#

Veil mitigates raid wides/party damage

little swift
#

Intervention is single target

#

Veil is good if you get healed in between raidwides

jovial tide
#

Do you normally use it and wait for the healer, or should you force it via clemency?

little swift
#

Also a decent prepull tool

faint flare
#

Let the healer proc it

little swift
#

Let the healer do it confiteor mana good

faint flare
#

Basically never touch clemency until you're forced to

#

Scholars easily proc it with fairy embrace

little swift
#

Clemency for it I suppose in a prepull if your healer doesn't do anything

#

But usually that won't be necessary

jovial tide
#

I thought veil doesn't apply to the caster?

little swift
#

It doesn't apply to yourself as a pld

#

Still has value though

jovial tide
#

So for raidwides you just veil -> PoA and hope the healer procs it before the damage hits, I suppose?

faint flare
#

You can split the PoA to mitigate the next raid wide

#

Unless you super need it

little swift
#

Can always just tap passage no need to hold it if its not a super long raidwide

jovial tide
#

I'd like to do that but pugs are absolutely uncoordinated and aren't neatly lined up in a cone, or can even get inside a cone unless they have ~5 seconds

#

I'm looking at the rogue range DPS that hugs the corner

faint flare
#

Then thats their problem

#

People should always be stacked at the back of the boss unless mechanics happen

#

People in africa die

#

There's 0 reason to be in Africa as they're missing buffs, heals etc...literally a dps lost

jovial tide
#

It's crap like this that makes me want to macro just about every defensive skill that requires coordination

#

I'm shocked by the number of people who think PoA's AoE looks like a bad thing they should avoid

unreal field
#

How bad is lag on the EU server if Im NA?

#

MY connection is okayish as is

faint flare
#

I get like 180 ping ish

unreal field
#

mmmmmm thats not awful

Just wondering how bad would it be to add a stance-off command to the shirk macro for a tank? (and why)

faint flare
#

You dont turn stance off

#

With shirk

#

There's no reason to turn it off with shirk, shirk gives you too much of a lead

#

There's no reason to turn it off with shirk, shirk gives you too much of a lead

#

There's no reason to turn it off with shirk, shirk gives you too much of a lead

#

Can just keep stance on so you're ready for adds/further swaps

feral ridge
#

I mean, out of principle, some people prefer to turn stance off during a swap, so me and friends were wondering how bad it'll be.

faint flare
#

Those people are bad

#

Keep stance on

little swift
#

You can stance off if people are so bad at pressing buttons you rip it off them immediately

jovial tide
#

I think you have enough time to monitor aggro gain afterwards and if it's that bad I'd flip it off manually

feral ridge
#

I wouldn't say immediatly but in some cases, yeah, the level of dps between our fc's static offtank/main tank tends to differ a lot, so one of the two tends to get back aggro at one point. (Not part of the static btw XD)

plush hound
#

With both tanks having stance on, it'll make swapping back easier.

little swift
#

In situations where multiple swaps happen in quick succession just be mindful of not having shirk available

jovial tide
#

Curious, are there any bosses that necessitate a swap potentially before shirk is ready again?

little swift
#

Yes there are

#

Most notably in ultimate

jovial tide
#

I suppose the only thing you can do is voke + off stance in that case?

cursive terrace
#

is there a way to have a direct teleport to one's appartment

#

or at least the area

faint flare
#

Yes

feral ridge
#

Either way, the main problem was one of the two tanks managing to get back aggro naturally pretty fast if he doesn't turn stance off, which is why I asked if there was a problem adding a stance-off option to the shirk command.

faint flare
#

Its in the teleport menu

#

To port to the friends apartment, use Estate teleport after right clicking on them in the friend list

little swift
#

@feral ridge do it manually they're both weaveable skills

jovial tide
#

Is intervention's bonus to be interpreted as 60% or 15% total damage reduction?

little swift
#

15%

#

60 would be broken

jovial tide
#

Should you intentionally save sentinel/rampart for potential interventions or is the bonus just something that's nice to have by coincidence?

faint flare
#

Coincidence

#

Or if you REALLY need to

#

Which is more of a savage/ultimate coordination

#

Or if you have cooldowns to spare to buff ot

#

Dont ruin your own cooldown rotation just to buff it

I know that it's recommended to pay attention to all of the main story quests but this is my 4th time trying to play this game so for the sake of me sticking with it this time, what quests should I pay attention to and/or at what level/quest do I start paying attention? (i'm on a level 14 main quest right now)

Just extra side stuff tko

Between spell interrupts, unable to cast your guard skill on yourself, and being unable to attack during the raidwide mitigation

little swift
#

No?

pure sedge
little swift
#

You can skim most of arr and be fine

jovial tide
#

I don't know what's worse, trying to holy spirit on a huge pull and having to interrupt half the casts to dodge aoes, or just sticking to the old 1-2 combo

little swift
#

Slidecast better riuga

lament lichen
little swift
#

No you only miss world building and some story beats

lament lichen
#

I want to actually get to the parts everyone say is really good this time because I like the look of a lot of the stuff in this game

pure sedge
jovial tide
#

And between all of that it just feels like you have to deal with having to resume broken rotations much more frequently

lament lichen
#

ok! thanks guys, I'll take your advice and hopefull make it through this time :D

unreal python
#

Is penta-melding necessary for crafting HQ exarchic gear? Ive tri-melded everything on my BSM and my wallet's not exactly happy

little swift
#

@jovial tide sounds like you just weren't familiar with how to adjust your rotation

jovial tide
#

What do you mean?

little swift
#

@unreal python the extra stats namely cp is quite essential but you can supplement with more hq ingredients if you meet cms requirements

#

@jovial tide things like slidecasting and knowing how to drop holy spirits/ra combos are important to keeping your loop steady

#

But leveling jobs won't ever feel as comfy as when you hit a capstone level

manic flare
#

palace of the dead rewards poetics after level 50?

little swift
#

Thats always how it will be

jovial tide
#

The rotation just feels really 'tight' to begin with due to goring blade's low duration so if I have to spend 3 seconds doing PoA I don't know how to continue without making an ass of myself, or at least that's how I perceive it

faint flare
#

You dont spend 3 seconds doing PoA

#

You tab it to apply the buff and drop it

#

Like Asts do with Collective

jovial tide
#

How long does it last?

faint flare
#

Until the next server tick. 3 seconds

#

Which is more than enough to snapshot raid wides

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I get Crystalline Twine

faint flare
#

Sacks of nuts or trading the two nier coins for it at fathard

#

(also from E7S but no one does old savagess)

leaden ginkgo
#

How many nutsacks it

faint flare
#

I think 3k

little swift
#

Twine is 3k

#

Ester for accessories is 2k

#

A 12/12 hunt train with full contributions awards 480 nuts to put that in perspective

#

Your world runs probably 3 trains a day

I sucessfully melded materia onto the fourth slot of a piece of gear, but when i went to meld a fifth, not only did it not meld, but the fourth one disappeared too?????????

#

Nvm, im dumb

#

The fifth sucessfully melded, the gear just disappeared from the melding screen when it did😐

You check off show gear that can't be melded further

I could use some help. I'm doing the original Relic quests. Well, at least I was before I took a long break. I just finished a book.

Am I doing the wrong thing? I want to get a new book now that I'm done with this one.

Not really.

@finite bronze in endgame there is a daily cap on one valuable resource. If you play all day and content-types you will need alts to out-progress that cap, according to some youtube's I saw

You can't really outprogress the cap

As you cant trade the items

On balmung

Like 10x more people then gridania when I made a character there

Usually its Limsa

I'm mateus

faint flare

Balmung/mateus hang around uldah as Quicksand is a popular RP spot

finite bronze
#

Ahh, gridania always dead?

faint flare
#

There's a few people there but its the summoning bell and market board are a decent distance away from things

#

Uldah has quicksand for RP, limsa is the closest aetheryte to a market board

finite bronze
#

Is the Christmas eve t in gridana worth starting a character there?

#

I started udlah for pug for ninja but I can do that later.

faint flare
#

You need lv15 to start events, at that point you travel to other cities via story

#

Also Christmas event is over

#

Its heavensturn now which is in Limsa

Ah

Thanks xD

austere agate
#

Hi.
So, i'm about to get my red mage to level 80 but the thing is i don't know which job to level up next

#

Any recommendations?

crystal bluff
#

thats really up to whatever playstyle you like
maybe a healer to round out your roster?

opal silo
#

All the things

gritty oracle
#

I'd say thaumaturge since you can level arcanist through scholar

#

and with thaumaturge youj can share gear directly

#

or a healer for battle mentor

marble dome
#

healer so you get all 4 role quests done and see extra lore

#

or perhaps arcanist so that you get 2 classes at once

austere agate
#

I'll go with white mage i guess

#

Or summoner/scholar

robust crow
#

you still need 1500 commendations to get battle mentor, not sure why you mentioned that

iron rock
#

Does anybody know drop chance of mounts? specifically the ones from HW extreme trials?

slate arrow

Around 10%, give or take a few percents.

It's low enough that it's pretty hard to calculate an exact drop rate due to how the RNG in FFXIV works

Last question do I lose yshtola if I go uldah

I heard she's the scion for limsa

you don't "lose" scions

Is there any benefit to running castrum/prae beyond the daily roulette run?

sand grove

Ok because I've seen people mention running it multiple times in a day and wasn't sure why someone would do that

scarlet sandal
#

who and why

sand grove
#

Someone in the fc I'm in. Said they were doing msq roulettes all day. Thus my confusion

leaden ginkgo
#

hello team

#

i am new player at final fantasy xiv

#

i am playing the free trial

#

i have a character and i lvl up him 10lvl

#

if i buy the game i will have the same character right?

sand grove
#

Yes

#

As long as you register it with the same info you used to play the trial

scarlet sandal
#

You will but I don't know why you would only go up 10 levels

leaden ginkgo
#

how mane days is the free trail?

faint flare
#

Unlimited

leaden ginkgo
#

many days

#

unlimited?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

No time limit

sand grove
#

The free trial doesn't have a set amount of time. It's just until you get to the end of the first expansion iirc

leaden ginkgo
#

and if i buy i will have access to more things as i see right?

sand grove
#

Yep

faint flare
#

A few more things

leaden ginkgo
#

ok i choose gladiator . which lvl can i change role or job ?i mean after some lvls i want to try the dark knight

#

can i change to dk?

sand grove
#

Level 30 is the job change. But you have to do your job quests. They're available every 5 levels (1 ,5, 10, etc)

faint flare
#

You can be everything one 1 character

leaden ginkgo
#

oh i see yes right

heavy topaz
#

How does one do a UI/HUD back up? Getting a new monitor with a different resolution and i fear it may mess up my settings.

faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

and there is fc that i can join because i want to play with others players together

heavy topaz
faint flare
#

Cant join an fc on trial

sand grove
#

After you do a couple of those you'll be allowed to accept quests titled "So You Want to Be A (class name here)" and that will let you be other classes

leaden ginkgo
#

oh i see

#

so i have to buy the game

muted sierra
#

So you gotta play through the entire base storyline first

sand grove
#

You can likely find a fc that will still accept you into their discord server until you buy the game and can fully join

leaden ginkgo
#

so what type of game is? i mean is more solo than multiplayer or you can play together with other people and pvp?

muted sierra
#

But if you wanted to swap to lancer or pugilist or anything you could

faint flare
#

Final fantasty game first, mmo second

leaden ginkgo
#

some of you are you playing black desert?

faint flare
#

The story is heavily single player but there's the usual mmo stuff

lilac dock
#

y'all how hard is it to move ffxiv from a hard drive to an ssd

austere agate
#

So, about the question i made before.
I still can't decide which one to level up.
On one hand i always liked white mages in previous final fantasy games and i would always choose them 100 times more over scholars (Also the fact that i have that job at lvl 30 already)
But, on the other hand scholar is having up 2 jobs in one. Not only that, summoner is one of my favorite jobs in final fantasy and the fact that i can summon bahamut in this game really appeals me

lilac dock
#

cause i wanna do that

leaden ginkgo
#

who are playing from you guys black desert?

lilac dock
#

im tired of long loading screens nd im pretty sure my hard drive is whats slowing my game down

lavish vortex
#

Thanks!!! One more question. Can you disable the soft target feature? I’d like to d pad to a party member and not have to hoy X button to hard target it... is that possible?

leaden ginkgo
#

who are playing from you guys black desert?

faint flare
#

Under character config

#

Its called something like "turn target circle into target select)

sand grove
#

Darko, I'd honestly just switch between them based on how fun it is at the time. Don't burn yourself out on one by trying to level it a ton. You can also do the roulettes on one and the battle challenges on another

forest sphinx
#

Okay, I'm feeling pretty stupid. How does one make a "collectible" for Rowena? I've only just learned that I need a crafting book and need to acquire 300 crafting scrips for it

There are several npcs that have weekly special deliveries as well. I think they start at level 60 in heavensward. The standard appraisers can be found in any major market

wispy falcon

I didn't understand the collectibles system and some of my items have a collectibility too low for the appraiser in Mor Dhona. Is there anything else I can do with these?

faint flare

Toss them

They're useless

wispy falcon

Dang. I cry.

faint flare

You need to hit the minimum collectiblity to turn them in

wispy falcon

I don't see an option to do so, and I have the desynthesize ability

patent citrus

You can only desynth crafting products i think

green grail
#

Don't think you can crafter collectables, and gatherer collectables have a ""desynth"" system for specific collectables called aetherial reduction

little swift
#

you can lower the quality of the collectable to normal item

#

and then desynth it

patent citrus

Noooo why i didnt think of that. Oh right ny crafters just reached 80 2 weeks ago

For main story quest, I'm currently working through pre-heavensward. Is the difference between ilvl 90 and 130 going to make much of a difference at this point? Or just the gear I get from MSQ is fine? Should I be saving up poetics for the bigger jump when access to shire is available?

For the patch story you won’t notice it, but once you hit HW you’ll start to quickly notice if you’re below i100

Each boss basically has a small loot pool of items they can drop, and from that pool it’s completely random

so if i bought shadowbringers rn would be a waste

finite bronze
#

Out of completionsist tendencies. Is there any special reactions to your race?

static slate
#

bc im not 60

faint flare
#

Unless you really wanted to be viera or Hrothgar

warped nest
#

Take note that your character level will be capped at lvl 60 as well if you don't have Shadowbringers

static slate
#

how long does 1-60 takle?

faint flare
#

However long it takes you to do story

static slate
#

....

faint flare
#

Story is flat out mandatory if you want to do anything

finite bronze
#

I like the story

patent citrus
#

everything is unlocked behind the story, not the job level 😄

warped nest
#

3-4 weeks, assuming you play 4-6 hours per day, and focus mainly on story

static slate
#

3-4 weeks

#

wtf

finite bronze
#

I beileve for free trail, you can also max all jobs to 60 if your a complenist.

warped nest
#

It is a very very rough estimate

patent citrus
#

what's complenist?

warped nest
#

Completionist

finite bronze
#

Means 100% everything

#

Ops

faint flare
#

All of ARR is like 50 ish hours, heavensward ontop is probably an extra 30 hours

#

As generous estimate

#

Watching everything

warped nest
#

Don't forget dungeon time and some basic gearing time at lvl 50

#

Plus walking

finite bronze
#

We can't fly?

#

I saw people fly

warped nest
#

Not in the beginning

faint flare
#

You unlock that later

#

Usually after you completed the story in that zone

finite bronze
#

Oh

faint flare
#

Arr unlocks flying after 2.0

warped nest
#

To unlock flying in lvl 1-50 area, you clear 2.0 final quest, and everything is unlocked in one go

finite bronze
#

BTW if I wanted to buy a cosmetic thing from the store how would I do it on ps4. I don't see anything in my menu.

warped nest
#

To unlock flying in lvl 50+ area, you do stories and look for flying nodes, and flying is unlocked per area

finite bronze
#

Idk if this good place to ask

warped nest
#

Mogstation

finite bronze
#

Lvl504?

#

Wut

#

Oh

leaden ginkgo
#

do we need to watch/read all cut scenes?

faint flare
#

If you care for story

finite bronze
#

Is there pvp?

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

i care but its a bit much ?

finite bronze
#

Or is endgame dungeon

warped nest
#

This is a FF game

faint flare
#

Pvp is there but its not a super big focus

leaden ginkgo
#

are there more important ones

warped nest
#

So...

finite bronze
#

Lol

#

Fair enough

faint flare
#

They're all important one way or another

#

Things often get called back to or set up stuff much later

broken oxide
#

where can i check what worlds are congested?

faint flare
#

Server status page

#

On the Lodestone

broken oxide

finite bronze
#

Do mini updates happen alot still? Its 10 years old or just big expansions?

lime geode
#

Just hit 80 on my PLD - I know we've chatted about the 520/515 wep, but what's an easy upgrade to go after to gear up? 485?

oak ice
#

Either upgrading the relic to 500 or just jumping straight to crafted i510 or EmEx

left moth
oak ice
#

Oh, wait

#

Read it wrong

#

Get crafted i510, it should be sufficiently cheap by now

lime geode
#

Just on the market board?

oak ice
#

Ye

#

Server hopping for the lowest prices

crystal bluff
#

or get the 485 relic and upgrade it to 500

finite bronze
#

Is there a good use of specializing into a thing like weaving

#

If so what first one should I focus on

oak ice
#

Specialization unlocks a couple recipees and gives like 20 stat points

left moth
#

crafting specialist is a small stat boost and more importantly for specialist only recipies

oak ice
#

And you can change 3 times weekly, so don't worry

lime geode
#

Does the !market command not work for weapons?

obsidian patio
#

It does.

#

You forgot to specify the datacenter or server

#

Anyone got an estimate when they will release the korean glam?

manic flare
#

and what do they look like?

patent citrus
#

hmm the hanbok glamour? I thought they already released it?

#

the KR winter school uniform just launched recently though..

manic flare
#

i think it's called eastern noble dress

static slate
#

if i buy the 19 99 version on steam

#

do i need membersjip?

faint flare
#

You always do

#

Its a sub based game

static slate
#

wtf

crystal bluff
#

though it does come with the first month bundled in

static slate
#

so its better off just doing 1- 60 as a trial account?

crystal bluff
#

yes

static slate
#

any exp loss or something?

patent citrus
#

i would just buy now and activate the code later when you reached lv 60

#

since it's currently on 50% sale

teal dragon
#

how hard it is to get ixion?

faint flare
#

Only any xp gotten at 60 is lost

obsidian patio
#

More annoying than hard, due to the respawn timer

patent citrus
#

when you bought the game, you will get a code that you need to activate

faint flare
#

Any gil gotten at 300k is lost because thats what your cap is

patent citrus
#

as long as you haven't activated the code, the game won't evolved into the full version

celest shoal
#

realistically how long would it take me to do ARR relic for glamour?

patent citrus
#

ARR relic is lv 55 job quest right?

#

depends on the player playtime?

celest shoal
#

lvl 50

patent citrus
#

oh right 50, sorry

oak ice
#

ARR is 1-50

patent citrus
#

i meant 45*

oak ice
#

And the ARR relic is mostly gil dependent if you want to do it fast

celest shoal
#

how much? gil isnt a problem

patent citrus
#

oh relic weapon 🤦‍♂️

oak ice
#

If you do it for mostly free, it's gonna take a really long time

#

Around a million

finite bronze
#

Is there a way to tame monsters

oak ice
#

700k possibly if you're lucky

agile laurel
faint flare
finite bronze
#

I like how some look

#

Aww

celest shoal
#

how long would it take if i pay?

#

like a week maybe?

oak ice
#

Depends on how much patience you have

#

They're not long but holy hell books can break a man

celest shoal
#

lmao yeah ive only done one relic back in arr

#

i didnt do it for my blm cause fuck thst

#

that*

#

i was fine with ironworks lmao

patent citrus
#

@finite bronze which monster? some monster turned into a mount 😂

finite bronze
#

Can you beat endgame content with a controller

oak ice
#

Atmas have higher drop rates, and materia should be cheaper, and you can desynth all the items on your own, and unsync the light farm, so it's better now

#

Yes, controller works perfectly fine

finite bronze
#

In gridnia they have a xiv

patent citrus
#

this game is JP game, it's optimised for a controller

#

console market > PC market in JP 😂

finite bronze
#

Ahh western is all pc

static slate
#

okay wtf is this fucking trial process

#

i dowloaded the launcher

#

and now im just stuck

#

wtf is a one time password

faint flare
#

Optional

#

Leave it blank

pure bough
#

Where is the security token registration password received through email to be entered?

It says "To complete Software Token registration, please launch the application, then enter your Square Enix ID, date of birth, and registration password. "

It's not apparent where in the app this info is to be entered. Having gone through the whole list I cannot seem to find it.

All instructions I can find claims I get to enter the data when I open the bloody app. BS. When I open the bloody app it just fracking logs in.

Would appreciate some help with this fracker.

dreamy warren
#

Really, really dumb question.... has anyone ever exported the mount list to an excel document or know how?

finite bronze
#

Is there any advice gear wise to a newbie

obsidian patio
#

@pure bough I have absolutely no knowledge about the security app so I don’t know. :/

robust crow
#

control method isn't important

#

personal comfort is

finite bronze
#

Ik but some games are unplayable with a controller xD

obsidian patio
#

FFXIV is perfectly good with it

finite bronze
#

I always thought it was gigamesh

#

I learned something new today

patent citrus
#

don't worry you can do it perfectly fine with controller ^.^

#

btw does wireless/bluetooth controller has input delay?

#

my wireless keyboard used to have input delay, big difference when i switched back to cable

finite bronze
#

I play ps4 so idk fine for me

obsidian patio
#

I never noticed a delay with any of my controllers

patent citrus
#

ok ty ty

obsidian patio
#

As for keyboard I always used USB

patent citrus
#

pc environment might add a difference since there are many interference between my wireless keyboard to the back of my pc

#

console to controller, not a lot of things blocking the signal..

south roost
#

So what exactly is the point of party mounts? I'm not deep into the game but it just seems like you can teleport everywhere and fly to a place in under 60 seconds

#

It feels like the only use is to carry someone who doesn't already have flying

austere agate
#

I have too much obsolete raid stuff on my inventory, what should i do with it?

gloomy mortar
#

Desynth it

austere agate
#

Desynth?

finite bronze
#

Can I ask general lore question

obsidian patio
#

Breaks it down into random materials

lime geode
#

are there any sites where you can look at different glamours people have put together?

austere agate
#

Oh, i get it

obsidian patio
#

Junk it

patent citrus
#

@south roost yeah, it's used to carry someone who doesn't already have flying and your friend

finite bronze
#

Are the lizard ppl sentient and races?

#

Or monsters

patent citrus

if you don't have friend, then it's just to help someone

Which should be basically never with proper lucid use

k thanks

when you are doing very low level roulette maybe

Any

any class are viable ^.^

does areas scale to my job level or do i gotta grind in other areas to catch up?

leaden ginkgo
#

Im enjoying CNJ starting class, about to get WMG

faint flare
#

Areas dont scale

robust crow
#

also you don't really grind in an area

#

most of your leveling methods scale to your level

static slate
#

ahh so dont do mage all the way up and switch to a melee class lol

faint flare
#

You can if you want

patent citrus
#

ehh why not

robust crow
