what is a chocobo feed?
and it was choco medica
so shouldn't unlock that one or all is goodand fixed?
as i said, it was fixed quite some time ago
I mean medica
not to be rude, but it's highly unlikely anyone is gonna join vc just to answer your questions, so please ask them here
was fixed ok
well question one, I'm not sure about the class/job combos that would be best for me, I'm looking for an active guild, I'm just trying to get back into the game because i only played for a month could not find ppl to play with then stopped.
all classes are good
tell us what kind of class you want
we can help narrow down what you might like
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
there's a recruitment channel on this discord to find guilds on your server as well
yeah
well im a priest on wow.
and i did try to get somoner
what kind of priest?
direct equivalent in terms of 'as vanilla as you could hope for' would be white mage
white mage is the closest equivalent
no gimmicks, it just does what it does
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
yea i tried out healing i was a..... err the one with the book before i left
yes. it is not a game where people are going to drop dead if you don't look at them for a few seconds
because there's a lot more downtime in terms of raidwide damage taken
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
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
well in the dungion finder it put me as a healer XD but idk what level i was
there's not really any kind of good comparison to disc priest in ff14
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
just do the story
no matter how far out there you are, the story is the rock in ff14
just keep doing story
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??
Doesn't the story depend on your job
not really no
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
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
Well what kind of healer Pav's are there?
because the free trial restricts those, as you probably know
yup. you're under no time restiction or obligation on the trial, but once you go onto paid model you cannot go back
Paths
oh ok so if i buy it on sale i cant just wait and use up the free one?
I've never heard of the last one
cuz its a steam sale
i don't think there's any close comparison to astro in terms of wow classes
astrologian is a simple healer in its role but carries half its kit in buffing party members' damage output
to put it one way, astro is a busy healer but it's not busy at actually healing

although make sure you're reading modern stuff about astro if you're trying to make a decision
I am a returning player LOL
a lot of its elements got gutted reworked in the most recent expansion
So I'm guessing a lot has changed since when I touch this game last
well when was the last time you touched this game
If you want an apartment, does it have to be in the residence to which you are aligned (Maelstrom then Mist, etc)?
no, can be any
Hot damn
you likely just didn't see much of it
and if you haven't gotten past ARR anyway then the game is no different
COVID killed all the NPCs in the game. It's now a post-apocalypse simulator.
i guess they added flying to ARR zones
Arr?
a realm reborn is the first story arc of the game
there's ARR, heavensward, stormblood, shadowbringers
Oh yeah that was the last thing that I remember Was A Realm Reborn
if you aren't past level 50 then you are still in ARR
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
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
The last thing I remember was doing the quest stuff that taught you about companies
not far at all then
so you're in the early early game
I think flying was around prior to april for ARR zones.
Was that when they introduced flying to ARR zones?
yes it was with 5.3
.... Shit. I thought I was playing longer than that.
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
How can you tell if you're on a free trial?
check mogstation
are you paying money every month?
^ or that
i sure as hell would want to know where $15 is going every month
you're probably on free trial then
did you buy the game recently
Yes
@main axle you should really go to #612757637813239808, get your relevant roles and check recruitment channels yourself
you're not on the free trial then
there are groups to join, but we can't really tell you any more
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
@agile laurel I didn't know what roles does life because I was unsure on that as well LOL
you need one for region
figure out what datacenter you're on, you can do that from character selection
yeah like forreal if you're relatively new to the game the level skips really aren't worth getting
Okay so what roles are for the Crystal and stuff like that
crystal is a datacenter
those are datacenters, yes
I'm not? On my other account I'm lv60 and done with ARR
Which one would I be?
you can only play with people on your datacenter
I just made a new account on a new server
We have no idea
what server are you on lex?
I am EST time zone
what's the point of elemental damage? do some ennemies have elemental weaknesses?
And wanted to play dancer so I bought a lv70 to unlock lv50 dancer
if you were able to get dancer, you own the game
period
primarily for flavor now, elemental damage doesn't really affect anything anymore
there's something like elemental damage in eureka
I havnt gotten dancer yet but I should be able to. I bought the bundle on steam
but that's entirely different than, say, fire 4 on black mage
@main axle ingame, top right. world name is around there. what is it?
also dancer starts at 60, not 50
i see
So does that mean I no longer qualify to enter someone's friend code?
I'm pretty sure you still can
Sec ill look
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
I've never paid a sub so I was hoping I still qualified
the drop rate is very low
it's a random drop
on those mounts
Bruh
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?
ty
gahhh someone help me with this XDDD i hate the way they set this up how do i add game time? i added a card to the account.
oh wait no i found it XD man its been too long for me i forgot to go to mog
@agile laurel oh to answer ur question it sais this
oh. local.
you're on crystal
go to #612757637813239808 and grab roles for crystal
ahhh ok so select crystal role
then you can read #603040765723148289
and thats where i go for guild looking stuff x3
i believe there's also a system for finding FCs in game but fucked if I can remember how
lol
hardly a system
that should suffice for window shopping anyway
shouting in a major city or in novice network
and then applying to random guilds
then there's the website community finder
regardless, in absence of anything else #603040765723148289 will do
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
how do i tab out for extended period of time without getting my audio cut out?
you may also have audio settings set to mute audio when the tab is out of focus
how hard it is to get the kirin mount?
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
ok
this feature is fine, i just don't like how the audio disappears completely when i'm back playing
you're saying when you tab back in the audio is gone?
yes... it happened so many times since i started few days ago
have you tried borderless windowed mode?
i haven't cuz it made my game stuttery even at stable 60fps for unknown reason
Ok so how low is the drop on garuda before i spend all day doing this
Fuck that lmaooo

Is ventures main source from GC as well (like prisms)?
its the easiest way of getting them yeah
can i ask payment related issues here as well to see if anyone knows a solution?
go for it
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
do expert delivery turn ins count towards your FC if you're on a diff server world visiting?
nvm i got the answer
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?
hi, can i get fast help over here?
if you ask your question, probably yes
my friend accidentally purchased the NA code for ffxiv, when he intended to buy the EU code, is there any solution for that?
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
How does the Aetherial wheel work, and can I use it for my FC if we dont have housing but I have an apartment?
when he tries to enter it, it says "invalid region" or something like that, so idk what to do
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
@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
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?
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
no i dont mean the diadem stuff, normal crafting stuff
thank you
like for example ash log, if i never collect ash log myself would my retainers never be able to get that for me?
correct
You can go and gather those after leveling up, your retainers can't out-level you on any job anyway
Correct
you have to go out and gather the item atleast once yourself before your retainer can gather it
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
are you on entry or standard sub
and if you're on entry, is the 1.0 character the 2nd character on the server?
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 ??
Yes
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
yes @leaden ginkgo
yeah, if you could post a screenshot that'd be helpful
You get a totem every clear that can eventually be traded for the mount at 99 to 1
They grind a lot
Because old mounts are easy to grind and you can eventually buy them for 99 totems
And probably 70% of the playerbase don't even do current extreme fights and wait until they're old and have their rates boosted
It says " Cannot connect with this character with our current account"
Rhalgars or kugane are completing base Stormblood
you're 100% certain you're on standard sub?
8 characters is entry
on a server?
on a world
It doesn't show that you can make anymore on that server, tho
can you transfer server for free in a certain amount of time after character creation?
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)
thank you.
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
So what’s the best way to level from 62-80
just to double check, please go to your mogstation and screenshot this section
Roulettes, HoH and trusts
Ah ok ty @frank wigeon
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
ill post in enex support
sorry to bother
@leaden ginkgo 1 column and 6th row down
for male
my suggestion would be to contact support since not really sure how the 1.0 character stuff works tbh
i appreciate the help honeslty
"2370 days" damn!
it must be server side
@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
hey guys, newbie here. I wanna play ffxiv with my friends but it seems like the Lich world is currently congested
gonna have to wait until later sadly
!status lich
so not congested, but temporarily locked
oooh ok ty
which means either waiting until a quieter hour when ppl have logged off for the night
try at late night or early morning
or choose a different server
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 !
the armoire is predominately for seasonal items
i see!
if it has the first icon highlighted then it can go in the armoire
thank you so much
do i have to redownload everything to transition from free trial to the original game?
when would you guys say quiet hours begin?
i think 2am to 8am, and around after lunch till 6pm?
but thats just me when I queue, maybe there's 2nd opinion
Hello guys , i left the game when stormblood released, is it worth starting the game again? Like New changes or updates to look for ?
what new changes are you looking for? outside of the new jobs and anually reworks of jobs. its more or less the same
new content
new story
still the same game
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.
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?
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?!
What's the thought process when making the decision to either cover or intervention?
Cover for if the target cant survive. Intervention to help the MT take busters
You'll rarely ever use cover
It just seems like most mechanics happen so fast I just don't have time to think it through
Mechanics are scripted out the ass
Not so much raids, just dungeons
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
So for boss mechanics that target a random player, do you just 'try cover first, if not in range intervention'?
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
And on top of that, how do I decide between veil and intervention?
Intervention is single target
Veil mitigates raid wides/party damage
Do you normally use it and wait for the healer, or should you force it via clemency?
Also a decent prepull tool
Let the healer proc it
Let the healer do it confiteor mana good
Basically never touch clemency until you're forced to
Scholars easily proc it with fairy embrace
Clemency for it I suppose in a prepull if your healer doesn't do anything
But usually that won't be necessary
I thought veil doesn't apply to the caster?
So for raidwides you just veil -> PoA and hope the healer procs it before the damage hits, I suppose?
Can always just tap passage no need to hold it if its not a super long raidwide
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
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
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
I get like 180 ping ish
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)
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
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.
You can stance off if people are so bad at pressing buttons you rip it off them immediately
I think you have enough time to monitor aggro gain afterwards and if it's that bad I'd flip it off manually
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)
With both tanks having stance on, it'll make swapping back easier.

In situations where multiple swaps happen in quick succession just be mindful of not having shirk available
Curious, are there any bosses that necessitate a swap potentially before shirk is ready again?
I suppose the only thing you can do is voke + off stance in that case?
is there a way to have a direct teleport to one's appartment
or at least the area
Yes
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.
Its in the teleport menu
To port to the friends apartment, use Estate teleport after right clicking on them in the friend list
@feral ridge do it manually they're both weaveable skills
Is intervention's bonus to be interpreted as 60% or 15% total damage reduction?
Should you intentionally save sentinel/rampart for potential interventions or is the bonus just something that's nice to have by coincidence?
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
do i have to do certain quests to overmeld an item?
No
if i press right click -> meld, it tells me i cant add more materia
ah ty
What part of the hud shows the boss cast bar ?
Target Bar
Thanks
Do accessories also raise your item lvl?
is the anima weapon really that grindy?
@narrow arch yes
is there a way to announce hunts over a bigger area than shout?
in game
i feel like Ive been in some totally different area like coerthas and get a notification of something in the shroud
does shout cover that big of a distance?

No.
People are just teleporting or running though the zones and spamming the same shout chat message
oh nice
do i have to redownload everything to transition from free trial to the original game?
no, you just have to download the rest of the stuff you don't already have
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)
Have they meantion when BLU will get lvl 70 cap?
is this a special fate?
should i announce it like i would a hunt?
5.45
Was on the top of the patch notes
But theres no date for 5.45 yet right?
No
But X.X5 patches are usually like a month and abit after the path
So probably late January /early February
Cool! Thank you so much!!!
Anyone?
main story and job quests
blue quest markers unlock content
Is it just me or does pre-78 PLD feel really clunky?
so I need to pay attention to every story quest from level 1?
@lament lichen I follow this MSQ guide so I know what to expect! https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
once you unlock the airships you can totally take a mini-break from the MSQ if you're bored and level something else (like a crafting class) or just try to unlock all the aetherytes (that will help you later!)
!faq contentunlock @lament lichen
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
No?
and yes pretty much! each quest gives a little bit of the story (some parts drag more than others) but you can kinda feel it out, some quests are just walking around and emoting a bunch lol but other stuff is relevant to building the story!
You can skim most of arr and be fine
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
Slidecast better riuga
If I ignore most of the early questing in the base game will I miss out on much?
No you only miss world building and some story beats
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
I second what channy says! you can mostly skim but it's nice to know some of the world building stuff!
And between all of that it just feels like you have to deal with having to resume broken rotations much more frequently
ok! thanks guys, I'll take your advice and hopefull make it through this time :D
Is penta-melding necessary for crafting HQ exarchic gear? Ive tri-melded everything on my BSM and my wallet's not exactly happy
@jovial tide sounds like you just weren't familiar with how to adjust your rotation
What do you mean?
@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
palace of the dead rewards poetics after level 50?
Thats always how it will be
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
You dont spend 3 seconds doing PoA
You tab it to apply the buff and drop it
Like Asts do with Collective
How long does it last?
Until the next server tick. 3 seconds
Which is more than enough to snapshot raid wides
Sacks of nuts or trading the two nier coins for it at fathard
(also from E7S but no one does old savagess)
How many nutsacks it
I think 3k
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?????????
Wait
Did you accidentally retrieve it
Nvm, im dumb
The fifth sucessfully melded, the gear just disappeared from the melding screen when it did😐
is there a way to directly contact squenix support?
My game started crashing the whole computer on startup out of nowhere... Switching DX versions didn't help. Any ideas, short of uninstalling and reinstalling?
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. I go to the NPC to get another, but it appears my only option is to "dispose" of the book. But it looks like all the progress might delete if I choose the "dispose" option. Am I doing the wrong thing? I want to get a new book now that I'm done with this one.
Book of Skywind I is the one I have and it is completed.
Oh wait.. I'm mental. I haven't finished it yet. LOL
nevermind
is it possible to change region of free trial account?

no
what's the minimum level to start HoH?
61
They're like the Allagan currencies. Meant for selling to vendors.
i know some of the demimateria are used to unlock demimateria recipes
anyone who knows how to get in touch with Customer support without the need to log in? My account got temporarily suspend for some reason, they say they have sent me a mail on how to lift that but i haven't received one.
Is there any advantages to alts?
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
So I don't have a reason to have my dashing Aura quite yet.
Ah xD
Thanks for the feedback
Is udlah most popular city?
On balmung
Like 10x more people then gridania when I made a character there
Usually its Limsa
I'm mateus
Balmung/mateus hang around uldah as Quicksand is a popular RP spot
Ahh, gridania always dead?
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
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.
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
is the new alliance raid next 5.x patch going to give us crypt augmentation currency? New to the gear release cycle

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?
thats really up to whatever playstyle you like
maybe a healer to round out your roster?
All the things
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
healer so you get all 4 role quests done and see extra lore
or perhaps arcanist so that you get 2 classes at once
you still need 1500 commendations to get battle mentor, not sure why you mentioned that
Hi I’m new to the game any tips or recommendations?
!faq newplayertips
Much appreciated
Dumb guesting but botany only makes potions and stuff yah?
is there a way to restore my old gearsets and config after a reinstallation?
Not unless you did a character backup on the character selection screen
Those things are saved on your computer
Does anybody know drop chance of mounts? specifically the ones from HW extreme trials?
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
I see
Last question do I lose yshtola if I go uldah
I heard she's the scion for limsa
You meet her later
you don't "lose" scions
but yeah levels 1-15 in the MSQ is unique based on your starting class (which determines your starting city)
Am I not able to contact Square Enix Support until Monday?
Just old school FF targetting designation
So you can tell what mobs what when they have the same name
Correct
If I login to the game with a different playstation network account with the same square enix account will it save progress?
You cant...you can only have 1 psn tied to your account at a time
Is there any benefit to running castrum/prae beyond the daily roulette run?
do you hate yourself? then no
Ok because I've seen people mention running it multiple times in a day and wasn't sure why someone would do that
who and why
Someone in the fc I'm in. Said they were doing msq roulettes all day. Thus my confusion
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?
You will but I don't know why you would only go up 10 levels
how mane days is the free trail?
Unlimited
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
and if i buy i will have access to more things as i see right?
Yep
A few more things
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?
Level 30 is the job change. But you have to do your job quests. They're available every 5 levels (1 ,5, 10, etc)
You can be everything one 1 character
oh i see yes right
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.
Backup settings on the character selection
and there is fc that i can join because i want to play with others players together
Thanks!
Cant join an fc on trial
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
You can't unlock dark knight until you reach the first expansion, either 
So you gotta play through the entire base storyline first
You can likely find a fc that will still accept you into their discord server until you buy the game and can fully join
so what type of game is? i mean is more solo than multiplayer or you can play together with other people and pvp?
But if you wanted to swap to lancer or pugilist or anything you could
Final fantasty game first, mmo second
some of you are you playing black desert?
The story is heavily single player but there's the usual mmo stuff
MMO that feels like a singleplayer game most of the time
y'all how hard is it to move ffxiv from a hard drive to an ssd
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
cause i wanna do that
who are playing from you guys black desert?
im tired of long loading screens nd im pretty sure my hard drive is whats slowing my game down
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?
who are playing from you guys black desert?
Under character config
Its called something like "turn target circle into target select)
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
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
who are playing from you guys black desert?
Character config > general > target > toggle Switch target circle to target select
There's a second crafting section. It has tabs and one of those is for collectibles
The collectible items, the rarified items are always made/gathered as collectible

They're in the second tab of the crafting log
Aaaaahh I see
Raise collectiblity same way you raise quality
And who do I turn these into?
Collectible appraisers
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
You are a genius
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?
Dang. I cry.
You need to hit the minimum collectiblity to turn them in
Thanks, though 👍
I forget, can you desynthesize collectibles?
I don't see an option to do so, and I have the desynthesize ability
You can only desynth crafting products i think
Don't think you can crafter collectables, and gatherer collectables have a ""desynth"" system for specific collectables called aetherial reduction
Noooo why i didnt think of that. Oh right ny crafters just reached 80 2 weeks ago
if i want to try doing the savage endgame raids, how do i go about finding a group o: i'm assuming i don't just queue for it like normal lol
Party finder for learning groups
ohhh gotcha, thanks!!
Also watch a guide or 2 before searching

i assume there isnt a way to have your hair not clip through certain helmets without changing your hairstyle?
yeah clipping's just something you gotta deal with
f
i want to start a raid group but i work 2-1030 am. should i try and make a group for early afternoon to early evening (~12-5pm) or will i likely not have any takers for those times
is there a damage meter i can use to check dps
Act
So I have done the cast run meridianum boss fight like 5 times but the quest is still there what am I doing wrong?? ☹️
*Castrum Meridianum
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
At the bare minimum I suggest getting the weapon to speed combat up
So how does the loot for copied factory work? Is it all random drops? Is there a currency system? A mix?
OK, I have augmented ironworks for both my scholar and summoner
It's funny having unlocked the gunbreaker, and all of the ilvl 255 stuff that came with it, compared to my current MSQ character. Oh well.
Each boss basically has a small loot pool of items they can drop, and from that pool it’s completely random
Some chests have preset items, like the alliance-wide one at the end that has the music rolls, TT cards, minion, and 2B glamour set
Ohh okay, thanks!
How do I add a friend to my friend list?
Right click them
If they are somewhere else in the world?
Use the player search menu to add them from there
In the social section
@raven sandal the quest doesn’t tell you to go back to Raubahn?
When do u get aether compass from MSQ?
Right after doing the small MSQ split that takes you to Sea of Clouds and Coerthas Western Highlands.
AKA after the ||trial by combat||
yo ive got this dark knight at like level 40
is there anything i can do to hit level 50 fastish
just so i can start doing more roulettes and get levels ez
Dungeons
What is a Linkshell?
I can't figure out why I don't have Eden's Promise :C
or the quest available to even get it
*savage
Is there a level requirement to hire retainers?
Sorry, i wrote that before you said savage
ya can't figure it out and its getting frustrating
Can you still claim revelation tome stones from wonderous tails if you've already hit your cap for the week?
No
Guess i have to wait till reset then oh well.
how do i change my data centre for recruitment on this server?
thanks
im confused on the pay model of this game
if i buy it on steam do i only hav eto get expansion or what
If you want to access the other half of the game
so if i buy shadowbringers i get everything? i thgouth there was more than 1 xpac?
Is it just early game or is all gameplay chaining one combo
You need both or complete edition to own everything

Trial is up to heavensword
Free Trial: lvl 1-60 contents, no subscription required, no time limit, social/inventory restrictions
Starter Edition: lvl 1-60 contents, subscription required, full access
wait 1 - 60?
Shadowbringers: lvl 60-80 contents, requires Starter Edition, one time purchase, no additional subscription needed
so if i bought shadowbringers rn would be a waste
Out of completionsist tendencies. Is there any special reactions to your race?
bc im not 60
Unless you really wanted to be viera or Hrothgar
Take note that your character level will be capped at lvl 60 as well if you don't have Shadowbringers
how long does 1-60 takle?
However long it takes you to do story
....
Story is flat out mandatory if you want to do anything
I like the story
everything is unlocked behind the story, not the job level 😄
3-4 weeks, assuming you play 4-6 hours per day, and focus mainly on story
I beileve for free trail, you can also max all jobs to 60 if your a complenist.
It is a very very rough estimate
what's complenist?
Completionist
All of ARR is like 50 ish hours, heavensward ontop is probably an extra 30 hours
As generous estimate
Watching everything
Not in the beginning
Oh
Arr unlocks flying after 2.0
To unlock flying in lvl 1-50 area, you clear 2.0 final quest, and everything is unlocked in one go
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.
To unlock flying in lvl 50+ area, you do stories and look for flying nodes, and flying is unlocked per area
Idk if this good place to ask
Mogstation
do we need to watch/read all cut scenes?
If you care for story
Is there pvp?
Yes
i care but its a bit much ?
Or is endgame dungeon
This is a FF game
Pvp is there but its not a super big focus
are there more important ones
So...
They're all important one way or another
Things often get called back to or set up stuff much later
where can i check what worlds are congested?
ty
Do mini updates happen alot still? Its 10 years old or just big expansions?
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?
Either upgrading the relic to 500 or just jumping straight to crafted i510 or EmEx
most content updates are formulaic to expansion (milestone changes) > major patch (new raid floors or alliance/trial > minor patch (ishgard restoration or relic or something to fill time) > hotfix (bugs)
Just on the market board?
or get the 485 relic and upgrade it to 500
Is there a good use of specializing into a thing like weaving
If so what first one should I focus on
Specialization unlocks a couple recipees and gives like 20 stat points
crafting specialist is a small stat boost and more importantly for specialist only recipies
And you can change 3 times weekly, so don't worry
Does the !market command not work for weapons?
gotcha, thanks
Cactpot is 9pm PST?

Anyone got an estimate when they will release the korean glam?
what korean glam?
and what do they look like?
hmm the hanbok glamour? I thought they already released it?
the KR winter school uniform just launched recently though..
i think it's called eastern noble dress
wtf
though it does come with the first month bundled in
so its better off just doing 1- 60 as a trial account?
yes
any exp loss or something?
i would just buy now and activate the code later when you reached lv 60
since it's currently on 50% sale
how hard it is to get ixion?
Only any xp gotten at 60 is lost
More annoying than hard, due to the respawn timer
when you bought the game, you will get a code that you need to activate
Any gil gotten at 300k is lost because thats what your cap is
as long as you haven't activated the code, the game won't evolved into the full version
realistically how long would it take me to do ARR relic for glamour?
lvl 50
oh right 50, sorry
ARR is 1-50
i meant 45*
And the ARR relic is mostly gil dependent if you want to do it fast
how much? gil isnt a problem
oh relic weapon 🤦♂️
Is there a way to tame monsters
700k possibly if you're lucky
no
No
Depends on how much patience you have
They're not long but holy hell books can break a man
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
@finite bronze which monster? some monster turned into a mount 😂
Can you beat endgame content with a controller
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
In gridnia they have a xiv
this game is JP game, it's optimised for a controller
console market > PC market in JP 😂
Ahh western is all pc
okay wtf is this fucking trial process
i dowloaded the launcher
and now im just stuck
wtf is a one time password
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.
Really, really dumb question.... has anyone ever exported the mount list to an excel document or know how?
Is there any advice gear wise to a newbie
@pure bough I have absolutely no knowledge about the security app so I don’t know. :/
you will commonly see people playing on controller in both savage and ultimate raids
control method isn't important
personal comfort is
Ik but some games are unplayable with a controller xD
FFXIV is perfectly good with it
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
I play ps4 so idk fine for me
I never noticed a delay with any of my controllers
ok ty ty
As for keyboard I always used USB
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..
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
I have too much obsolete raid stuff on my inventory, what should i do with it?
Desynth it
Desynth?
Can I ask general lore question
Breaks it down into random materials
are there any sites where you can look at different glamours people have put together?
Junk it
@south roost yeah, it's used to carry someone who doesn't already have flying and your friend
if you don't have friend, then it's just to help someone

i'm not sure if sahagin is counted as lizard 😂 au'ra is definitely lizard people
There are sentient and intelligent beast tribes
Okay, hang on. I have made a Collectible Item for the Collectables Exchange, yet it won't allow me to turn it in? What step did I miss?
you can choose to play as an aura
You need to meet the minimum requirement
Your collectiblity is too low
Why does downloading the game take so long
Oooh
is there a data limit?
So what Ive made is worthless
data limit? i'm not sure ask your provider
Lol
i can easily dl shit at 100mb/s but its capped at 4
pretty sure nowadays internet is cheap enough to get unlimited data
is there a setting thats fucking with me?
hmm that's weird 🤔
at this rate gonna take me 3 hours lmao
Fun
Some files just download slower
lvl 18 archer right now. Cant he attacks off teh GCD cancel out other attacks?
once i obtain Cure II is there any reason to keep Cure I?
No. You can cancel animations without worry
im assuming like in wow to conserve mana
For when you're extremely out of mana
Which should be basically never with proper lucid use
k thanks
And that
whats a good starting class yall think? melee/mage/range?
Any
any class are viable ^.^
Every job starts slow
so play what you enjoy the most
Yes
ahhh
yeah, just equip the weapon + job stone(if you unlocked it)
does areas scale to my job level or do i gotta grind in other areas to catch up?
Im enjoying CNJ starting class, about to get WMG
Areas dont scale
also you don't really grind in an area
most of your leveling methods scale to your level
ahh so dont do mage all the way up and switch to a melee class lol
You can if you want
ehh why not
do what you want
try out everything ^.^
There's Multiple ways to level
Whats a good way to get more CP? So many of the guides Im looking at have like... 350+ and Im sitting at a measly 180\
