you could try making your own pf, though it is getting kinda late
people might not be around to grind with ya
Soloing fates isn't awful when the zone becomes empty enough and the fates reset
Is it possible to have more than 10 hotbars?
For context, 34 inch hiDPI ultrawide, so yes I have screen estate for more than 10
10 is the amount given to you by the game unless you also include cross hotbars thats all you can have
wheres the best place to make gil as a level 50?
Lemme ask the more important question. Why do you need gil at level 50? you should doing your msq
Msq until lvl 80 is actually the easiest way to get gil.
Stuck how?
think i need better gear
keep getting beat xcause i cant effciently protect an npc in a fight
Get the 50 i90 coffer
Also check what the npcs say
do you know the name of the quest offhand?
They might have objectives for you
where is that
?
i90 is called "wyrm"
you're given it when you complete the lvl 50 job quest
so look in your inventory
How do you unlock the quest "And we shall call it Eureka?" Googling around, it says I need to speak to Galiena but she doesn't have any quests for me. I'm pretty sure I finished SB content (as I already entered the Crystarium or whatever) and i'm definitely past lvl 70
So how much Eureka torture would I have to put myself through to get elemental + 1 armor
Alot. Eureka has 4 zones
Elemental is in the last zone
It is
It should be avaliable. Did you complete your lvl 70 job quest? It might be required but im not sure.
Eureka can be a good source of Gil since not many people do it nowadays
Dragons are no joke
how so?
All the rare drops from there
I've heard some mats sell for millions
Eureka exclusive mounts emotes orchestrion glamour
But like
For example i sold a eurekan petrel for 27mil
A hairstyle or two
what hairstyles are available from eureka?
Yes
I shamelessly used a level boost. I'm thinking that might be why the quest won't unlock for me
some emotes like shiver
The girl from ivalice raid's hairstyle iirc.
Form and Function should be the name of it
Would y'all say the fashion is worth the absolute pain one would need to subject themselves to
unless you're talking about mikoto
It shouldnt. Maybe do one more msq quest and try again.
and then you'd be wrong too

mikoto's hair is a default hairstyle
You might’ve done the Eureka unlock quest without realizing. What does Rodney at the pier in Kugane say when you talk to them?
Anyway. There are hairstyles in pagos iirc
form and function is from pyros

pagos iirc didnt really have that much of worth in its lockboxes
most of the good stuff is pyros/hydatos
tho i think shiver is pagos?
Pagos had shiver yup
Pyros had /fan i think its what its called
There was one week where fashion report demanded pagos gear and i sold random pagos glamour for like few hundred k each. Good times.

Hey guys
I'm at garuda, I'm drunk and scared
CID just had an epiphany and I'm here wondering if I'm going to let duty finder down
doubtful.
just sorta fumble. its hard to die
pay attention to the rest of your party
is there 2 diffrent subscriptions or just 1 now
There are 3 types total. 2 available to chose from and 1 available only to legacy players
Entry and Standard.
both are laid out pretty well on the mogstation screen
is there a link to where i can see it?
ok tnx
Do I need to level a second class to get my job at lv 30?
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
ty
ok so is holminster just a slog or are the trust npcs just that slow
Trust NPCs are intentionally slow
They don’t do AoE damage which is a main factor
Most of my Trusts take around 25-30 minutes to clear
You’re basically trading out the queue time for a longer run
Which level 60 armor to get for bard from these two?
The other one has higher green numbers though
and a way to tell also is tje green text
So I was confused
yeah that means you can use it
Shouldn’t I get the one with the highest defence
you can't equip the first one as a bard
its not for your job so you cant even if you wanted to
Is it worth even using those tones for a slight increase
Heyo guys, is it best to finish ShB before I go about maxing Crafting and Gatherers? I figured I'd be locked out of areas if I didn't finish it first
if ARC/BRD or All Classes isn't listed on the tooltip, then it means you can't equip it
and yes, its totally worth buying shire gear
I see
poetics are handed out like candy, so its not like you should hoard them
I only have 550 I just reached hw 58 quests
then just buy what you can for now, you dont need to go out of your way to buy the whole set
since post HW will give you gear
but the weapon/chest/pants are extremely useful to purchase
and are pretty big boosts in dmg
Hmm how do I get more tomes
by doing 50/60/70 content
given you're still on the 58 hw quests, i wouldn't worry too much about it for now
since when you start working on post HW content, you'll end up doing 60 content that'll give you poetics
you will also get tomes for clearing duty finder content for the first time
which you are going to be, for a good while

My entire FC is offline so I wanted to ask here
Uhhh, is there a way to get back to Eorzea from Norvrandt without paying the horrendous Aetheryte fee?
can go thro the way you came in i guess
yes, the exarch's room in the crystal tower
Ok thx
No one is doing binding coil or it’s hard to find anyone for it
Kinda wanted to do it
The coils are difficult raids, almost on par with savage raids, so you'd be hard pressed to finding people doing them on duty finder
and slightly less so on party finder
Does emotes need to be assigned to hotbars to be able to be keybound?
i'd expect so
looking for a carry in Palace of the Dead. crystal data center. tryin to level aetherpool and purgilist class.
i'm unaware of any other method
you don't need a carry. it's approximately 2am for most of the DC
wait a couple of hours and queues will pop
hence why im asking in discord lol. everyone else is offline.
Try putting up a party finder and noting that you just want completion, first-time bonus, and you’re doing it unsynced (make sure to check the “undersized party” option in your DF settings) That might help.
are the old raids similar in difficulty to the newer ones if i do them at minilvl? i'm currently running a3s with a static and would like to know if this is a somewhat good gauge of my skill/whether ill be able to do the current raid tier once i finish msq
Hello! I wanna buy the game since the price is pretty low rn c:
I see 2 bundles, the one on steam that includes the starter edition and shadowbringers
and the other one on the square enix store that includes all of the expansions, but costs more
anecdotally, I have heard from many people that A3S was particularly difficult and not in a fun way
Which one is more worth?
Doing it at min ilvl will not necessarily match the experience of doing it back in the day because of changes to class balance
they're effectively the same thing @misty forum
Starter Edition + Shadowbringers = Complete Edition. Nothing more, nothing less
ahh okay, thank you for the help!
Just to note though, if you buy the game from steam you are locked into steam for future expansion purchases
also fairly certain steam version is one sale atm
that's why its cheaper
oh i think steam is on sale right now thats why its cheaper
normally they'd be the same price. Starter is $20, ShB is $40, Complete is $60
It's on sale on the square enix shop too
Also take note if any of them say "Collector's Edition"
that means they come with a couple extra cosmetics
Is this a problem?
its kind of something you have to decide whether it'll be a problem or not
Steam has this game on sale quite a bit less often than PC sales
Steam doesn't go on sale very often, so if you're a bargain hunter who isn't likely to buy expacs at release
then yeah it could be a problem
if that's not something you are really concerned about then, its not
however, if you're going to be playing it when the next expansion comes out, you'll be paying full price for it regardless
Oh well
I can't find the name of this housing decor
Thanks for your answers guys!
np!
its wooden deck @worthy summit
unfortunately ff14housing is not entirely up to date
is always a bit hit or miss
though kind of weird wooden deck isn't there, since that was release in 5.15

Hey, can someone tell me where i can find this? :
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/1e80384fb16/
Can someone explain to me how Emerald Weapon 2nd Phase works when the soldiers came out?
The soldiers will line up on north and there's a gap in the line
That gap is safe
Same as it functions in normal mode, just no telegraph
Just remember to also dodge the exaflares/ship dives
does anyone know if the subscription gets automatically activated if u buy it on the ps4/ps5? im playing the trial version and plan on getting the complete edition while it’s on sale, but wanted to finish the trial campaigns before subbing
It does yes
Ohhh it's just I did that part and I keep dying
Because I have slow dodging skills
😔
So I heard that so long the soldiers shoot the gun, it's safe to enter the range when the shooting bullet animation is in motion
That part of emerald still manages to trip me up half the time
Since I'm paying attention to the soldiers and not the bombers
my tip for it is to just really quickly look over at the bombers and just figure out whether you need to dodge up or down
once you figure that out you can ignore the bombers
Yeah
Last night in the first dungeon, the tank noped out right at the start. Do we have to do anything special to backfill?
Also we only did it three times because I'm new to the fight, but we manage to get just before the Seccundus Terminus Ex appears
Actually wait no

So I did the MSQ and I’ve gotten to the point where I need to do hunts for my Grand Company. I need about 3-4K more seals and don’t have access to hunts and the express delivery. Doing fates seems a little long and can only get 1 reward from the licking roulette. Any advice?
what's the name of the quest you're on?
i personally don't recall any point that requires you to get seals other than right when you get your chocobo, and even then the next quest rewards all you need
Well I’m doing the quests for the seals to increase my rank. It’s just something else for me to do.
I finished the MSQ just last AAR
yeah that's not part of your MSQ, it's optional and you can come back and do that later
you could try GC leves
make sure you do your hunting log
or your challenge log
As a lvl80 who hasn't even completed ShB (in the progress tho)
How do I approach my gear once I get to 80? Exharchic gear is curretnly cheap but is full crafted even a good idea?
there are numerous ways
full crafted is not necessary
your first goal is to get to ileve 485 so you can queue for eden 9-12 normal
while you are doing eden 1-8 you can get an assorted amount of gear between ilevel 450-480
you can opt to buy a few pieces of exarchic to get to 485 easier
I'd say Exarchic is a good way to catch up if you want to jump into savage/ex right away. But if you're new, just go through the MSQ. It will give you all the gear you need. Maybe buy some Allegory pieces and get your relic.
You can also get the 500 resistance weapon
eden 9-12 award ilevel 510, but you only qualify to win 1 piece of gear per week per boss
Oh
Hasn't completed
If you want to gear to a good ilvl before beating Shadowbringers though you NEED to buy gear
That’s the biggest thing
except there is no need to be a good ilevel before beating shadowbringers
^
^
fuck are you gonna do with full 510 before beating msq
That’s what that “if” was for
If youre level 80, you can start getting the 2 higher tier tomestones to buy gear when you actually need the ilvl
I mean, hunts?
You can go through the MSQ with nothing but gear the MSQ gives you
Maybe a little grinding dungeons
There’s so many options for gearing at 80
Almost all of which are locked by 5.0 completion
I personally recommend MSQ dungeon gear and supplement it with some Allegory or relegation pieces
Revelation*
Cant do that either
I'm already capped on tomestones of allegory and revalation before completed 5.0 xD
Lol
Vendors are disabled until 5.0 completion
In that case just do the MSQ. Get your weathered gear, that's good enough to finish shb
That’s damn impressive since iirc this is only week 4 of the patch
if you're capped on revelation already then you can pretty much buy a peice of 520 gear right away when you beat msq
And we can’t cap Revs yet?
I'd say nab a revelation chest and allegory the rest of you're cappped
I meant cap as in max I can get
he's probably not talking about the 2k cap lol
450 for the 4 weeks
Oh
he's probably talking about 450
I got 1800
Oh damn
that's a significant amount of revelation
That’s indeed the correct number to have
just bum rush to the end of shb my dude
that's 3-4 pieces of 520 gear
start looking up the BiS for your class so you can plan which pieces to buy first
Then get
- Revelation chest
- Revelation pants
- Allegory the rest
- Relic weapon
uhh
don't necessary do that
lmao
look up your class's BiS
not all revelation pieces are kept to endgame
BiS usually contains savage gear. OP hasn't even finished the MSQ. They're probably not going into savage for a while now
If you’d like I can try to whip up a time buy order real quick if i know what class
Tome buy
Woo
ye don't plan on savage for quite a bit xD
but that doesn't mean blow 2 weeks worth of revelation on something that will be replaced
^
Isn't 1800 4 weeks
don't wanna waste my stuff
that's why I was talking about crafted gear, a full skip xD
and materia the needed stats since I don't plan to savage
revelation gear is better than crafted gear
I get what Ren is trying to say - start with the pieces that are BiS and then get the rest if tomes allow
alright gonna check the balance discord for that then
A fresh 80 probably doesn't have 1-2M to spare for Exarchic
Yeah they have enough to buy 1 set usually
I have 2.5M
I'd still say save that money
^
and either way getting like 5 pieces of exarchic likely costs under 700k depending on server
Only since you have the revs, but yeah
Housing market is about to explode mid-Jan. If you save every penny, you should have enough for a small and then you can garden.

right now the chest piece is 150K
how exactly is the housing market going to explode in mid jan
lol
45 days will have passed since 5.4
Spend your revelation tomes first then decide what to buy
Timers resumed from there they left off, not restarted from 45
doesn't necessarily mean that bunch of houses are gonna be for sale
so..... check BiS on Balance, get Rev gear from it, then supplement with Exharchic, Relic Weapon is priority
Hello! My friend and I got the free trial to try it out, can we play together?
yes
If youre on the same data center and world, yes
you won't really be able to do any story together since everything is solo and instanced
but you can do dungeons together
that said though, you'll need someone else to make a party for you if you want to be grouped up
I'd still say that unless you want to go into savage, supplement with allegory, not Exarchic.
But yeah do your revelation that way
2-4 pieces of 510 from e9-12n + 2-3 pieces of 520 cryptlurker gear on week 1 of being 80
they will be fine
plus if he's also capped on allegory that's another 2-3 pieces of gear
And in the meantime, start finishing MSQ and DO THE IVALICE RAIDS IF YOU HAVENT
throw down like 200k for an exarchic weapon, they're already into the 500s i bet
Alright ty!
already have all of that done
Good
then you don't even need the exarchic weapon
Relics are going to be "good enough" to "potential bis" throughout the expansion and after that, pretty good glam, so yeah keeep it updated
Though I’d clear out the casual content before ya start futzing around with emex
no idea what I'll do once ShB is done since there's so many stuff
bozja, raids etc etc
I'd say do outdated ex trials to ease into high end content
My personal recommendation is titania
but most side content preShB is done
my suggestion is to finish e1-12 ASAP, preferably before tuesday's reset
Unlike certain other bosses that will not be named, Emmy actually has a DPS check 😛
but i guess you can't do e9-12 without beating 5.3
Issue is that yes
and getting to 5.3 will take a long time from 5.0
but I guess priority still goes to relic wepaon + revalation pieces
I'd say do what strikes your fancy. It's easy to get overwhelmed if you see everything as something you have to Do. Thing is, no quests and no content is going anywhere. Do it at your own pace, switch between stuff if you want to, or even take a break to craft/gather, do maps etc. It's a game. Have fun playing it.
Relic is actually “””only””” i500
So far
So the other current stuff gives more ilvl but like
Again
ShB is actually my crafter/gathere break xD
literally free
Except heavensturn. Heavensturn is absolutely going anywhere. Do it as soon as you can.
but if I understand gearing right not necessarily full crafted/full tomestone/full raid is best
as long as they are the same ilvl they can be mixed for best stat output?
that's what BiS is
it's a combination of savage + augmented revelation gear that all have your best stats
Generally speaking higher ilvl is better
There’s exceptions but that’s a good rule to follow
The ilvl right now in the absence of easily obtainable augments is Savage > Revelation > Emerald Weapon > Normal Raid = Exarchic > Relic = aug Allegory = last patch’s Savage gear
also important to note that BiS gear is absolutely not needed outside of savage/extreme content
be aware that stuff like emerald weapon will only provide weapons
no gear drops from that content
ye am aware
Even in extremes and Savage odds are you’re working up to BiS
Once you start comparing gear of the same ilvl is when comparisons of sub stats tend to start happening
Alright thanks a lot
gonna put that in mind for when I get to the gearing part
which is till quite a long way xD
I don't understand the tsuykyomi moon phases. Does the shape of the moon Crescent matter or do you just have to move to the opposite color even if for example the crescent is just a little white
If you get 5 stacks of the debuff you get hit by an uncleansable doom and will die
When you reach 4 stacks, go to the other color
And don't get caught out with multiple stacks of the color that covers the arena during meteors
(I'm assuming you ask about extreme)
assuming your party is doing things right
Functions same in normal
there will always be a safespot for you to cleanse at
but it's possible that people fuck up and leave no safespots, therefore wiping the party
Ok so go to the light side when the moon is blue and red ?
The moon is a visual of your stacks
I finding it difficult to know which moon visual represents light or dark
The one over your head will be either light or dark
you can also look at your debuff marker
That's what im saying 😂. One is blue and red. The other is white and brown
Exactly, if the moon becomes full in either light or dark, you get doomed and die
Ohhhh okay thanks
And like Renaulte said, your buff/debuff window has a marker with stack numbers

Yea just had to look for it in my hud layout
Hi, I'm a new player (just started this afternoon) and wanting to ask if there is a general 'guide' or 'walkthrough' that I could follow, because I've been doing MSQs only and I am afraid I might miss some important things in the early games ..
hi!! where can i find aethersand timers?
i was wondering if i could change my class early in the game, is it possible ?
I'm currently a lvl 17 Lancer and I would like to try the Arcanist class..
I unlocked Nastrond but I can't drag it to my hotbar for some reason
teamcraft is probably one of the easiest ways
read the description for nastrond, you will see why
you need to beat your level 10 MSQ to change classes, but once you do so you can be whatever class you've unlocked
Ohh, so Geirskogul changes into Nastrond
yep
I was confused because I saw screenshots of people having it in their hotbar
Thanks!!!
they were probably in combat and happened to be at that part of their rotation
Yep
or maybe (god forbird) they used /micon to force it
also it's recommended to pick two, three, or even more classes to level during MSQ because you're going to get really far ahead of it if you only level 1 class
^
np
Though arcanist does level up 2 classes in 1, which makes that a bit easier
where is fuga haori from?
I can't seem to get the Ishgard restoration recipes. I've completed the Ishgard restoration sidequests but my crafting menu doesn't have Ishgard restoration in it.
I would not recommend doing 2 or 3 classes during the msq, but that's just me. There have been issues (in this chat) of people not having enough gear for some job quests because they are grabbing gear for 2-3 classes instead of focusing on one.
have you actually completed the ishgardian restoration sidequests
did you talk to potkin?
Im not here to argue, new players dony have a lot of gil and vendor gear sucks but
I've completed it, yeah.
vendor gear is sufficient for msq
Real issue i thought worth mentioning as ive seen it pop up here before.
shouldnt be buying vendor gear for combat jobs after 50
Any ideas?
did you talk to potkin
Have you gone around interacting with everyone with a ! above their heads?
are you level 20 or higher in the crafter class as well?
I have.
I'm not sure, who is that?
He's the npc you turn in the collectables to, he's off to the east side of the main area
Oh, that did it. I talked to them originally when they had a ! over their head. I guess I had to do it a second time.
Thank you.
yeah unlocking the restoration is a bit unintuitive
Strange that I needed to talk to him a second time, and there was no ! above his head.
Wiki doesn't tell you but is there a way to get the "Dragon Icon" furnish?
from the new treasure dungeon
Oh okay, thanks
I know that Sigmascape is heavily inspired by FF6, are the other Omega raids the same way?
Hello! I still can't decide between playing monk or ninja, both seem cool to me, and I know that monk bring few group utility, but better damage, and ninja is kinda the opposite.
I like the dynamic feel of both of the jobs, and was a bit more interested by ninja. But I read that ninja was a bit clunky to play because of the buff refreshes. Is it true?
No
mm'okay

You can choose both.
all jobs feel clunky and lacking at the start. As they levle up and unlock more of their kit they feel more and more complete
I see
out of curiosity
what level are you? on both jobs @misty forum
because you can just play both of them lol
no need to restrict yourself to one
29 on pugilist, and... 15 on rogue. I know I can play both, but I usually like to play one class in mmos
that's not really the style of ff14
because you're encourage and promoted to play numerous classes
if you stick to only one class you're going to super outlevel the MSQ anyway
may as well play two or more
I'm... kinda already doing that
(also FYI for what's it's worth, ninja is actually higher raidwide DPS than monk at high end raiding)
(oh lol)
note that this could change
but you may as well just keep playing both classes
neither monk nor ninja are going to feel like a complete class until well into their level 50 skills
although ninja starts feeling more like ninja by 45 since that's when you have all your jutsus
so when do i use riddle of earth and true north on monk?
That chart is worthless to you unless you are one of the top raiders with great consistency
then use this chart
this is top 50th percentile
y'know what, let's make it top 75
you can draw inferences here that if you think you're in the bottom 25% of all players than ninja is likely to do more damage in high-end raiding scenarios
So should I alternate every now and then, or should I push a job to max level, then switch to the other?
alternate
at least, that's what i suggest
if you do your dailies then you should have more than enough experience to keep up with MSQ on two classes
Just make sure to always have a job that's at least 1-2 above the other, to make use of armoury bonus
is there any healing class start from lv50
no
WHM starts at 1, SCH and AST start at 30
technically SCH starts at 1 since you need to get ACN to 30
Uuhh, where can I find the dailies? ;w;
damn
your duty roulette mainly
open your duty finder, Leveling is pretty much your most lucrative daily
it's under Duty - Duty Finder, if you've ever queued for a dungeon then it's the same interface
Like the guild duty?
although you will only have leveling and guildhest for a while
my game isn't in English
I have sometimes a hard time to find the translation in game haha
if only i could use ff14's auto translate in here
but yes the leveling dungeon is a significant amount of exp once per day
you should try to do it once every day if you have the time
Is spamming dungeon a good way to level too?
Yes,.its what you do after roulettes
Generally you want to do MSQ
then dailies
if you are on tank or healer queue for your highest unlocked dungeon over and over
if DPS and below 50 do Palace of the Dead
if above 61 do Heaven on High
at 71 you can do Bozja or use Trusts
Alternatively if it is the right time of day you can do pvp via Frontlines roulette over and over (you can level a job in here without ever actually playing it)
Got it!
So, has any1 ever gotten into FF14 jail, rightfully and wrongfully? I was suspended for 3 days without any prior warning for 3 days for my toons name. I appealed it as I do not agree with the suspension as its clearly not outlined in the TOS. What is the appeal process? Anyone know?
Hello! Total ff14 newbie here. Currently leveling my first character, lvl 7 to be exact. I have a couple questions.
1st - What is up with crafting in this game?
2nd - Should I bother with crafting this early into the game?

Crafting is like a real job, mini games you have to actively participating in instead of just pushing a button, it's great. And apparently crafting isn't that good early, mainly because you level so fast with the road to 70 that the gear is obsolete fast
But if you find yourself with woefully underleveled stuff at some point, you can craft some dope shit
You can also craft music and certain mounts, there's a lot there
Thank you!
Hi, I need help. I need 3 people only for sign for open my FC and after they leave. Who can help me for minutes? Odin server
Becoming a Specialist only works with 3 crafters? Or later I can unlock for all crafters, or change between one and another?
According to a wiki you can swap them around by talking to an NPC
You can only have 3 specialist at a time and can swap 3 times a week
That's stringent
nice thxs
Is it really usefull to have specialist at lvl 50-60, or is it usefull only in lvl 80?
Its not really a big thing
Mainly just extra stats and making specialist only receipes, which aren't thaaat many
Souls of the Crafter are easy to get?
Quick question, the Royal Menagerie attendent isn't there, how do I get back into that area?
Continue the story abit more
I'm done with the story
You need to complete 4.1 story
I'm current on MSQ
You have to ng+ it
my friend is going to start playing ff, whats the best way to help/play with her? i know i cant do msq duties with her, but am i able to help her grind and stuff?
You can do dungeons and overworld quests with her
And be on the same story quest via ng+
Your story progress is reverted back to what point you sey
And you can pause it whenever you want
Can you do emotes without doing the emote? Like, use /playdead without it saying "You play dead."
/playdead motion
ty
Adding "motion" to the end of the emote doesn't display it in chat
Can also just turn off "display log message" in the emotes window
What are all the equine mounts in the game? Grani counts.
Got the ARR horses and kirin
Theres the garo mounts that are basically metal pegasi
Theres the unicorn from the conjurer quest
Thats not specific which one
both names so i can look again
There are a lot of mech mounts
can i have a house on 2 different data centers?
what’s the bot command for why stone, sea, sky is not good?
or is there a list of all bot commands in this server?

- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
The mount from the FFXV crossover, the Regalia, is not currently available but Yoshida has said the event will be run again some undetermined time in the future. The only other mounts permanently unavailable are the three from the PvP Garo crossover which ended last year and is likely not coming back. Edit: I forgot the three from the Yokai Watch crossover as well. Those may or may not be coming back. We have no way to know at present.
looks like ff16 is being developed by same team as ff14 , is it going to be a new mmo i wonder
@honest anvil see above
ty
@drowsy stream its not. The reveal shows its a single player rpg
i thoughts its like ff15
ahh, thanks for the info
what the most amount of +x% exp that a item can grant?
question: Say you do the Trial roulette twice in one day. Do you get exp and Gil the 2nd time?
As in food items? They're all +3%. There was a promotional item from Stormblood launch that gave +4% but that promotion ended over two years ago and the items weren't tradeable iirc.
No. Roulette bonuses are once a day per roulette.
Each roulette category gives its bonus only once per day. The Adventurer In Need bonus is always available but it's so tiny that it's not realy worth going out of your way to get.
Hey i just got an apartment in the lavender beds and cant use the chocob stable even though im sure i did the chocobo quest my little chocob whats going on
thanks for the info. glad i didn't waste my time doing Trials twice
Check in Bentbranch Meadows for the blue quest called Bird in Hand. That's the one that unlocks stables.
And make sure you did my feisty little chocobo not just my little chocobo
Ohhhhh okay thanks
Does the road to 70 expire with time ? Does it disappear as soon as you hit 70 on any class ?
It hides itself when you hit 70, it will come back when you swap
It lasts 90days minimum
Longer if server stays preferred
Thank you
if you put in the wrong password to your account a few times, are you locked out for a certain amount of time? it's not showing anything like that for me. i've changed the password and i know i'm putting it in correctly
I really need advice on how to paladin specifically in pugs / duty finder
Truth of the matter is, the whole party is going to be scattered across the boss room so, so much for PoA
A lot of bosses are so fat you even have to walk towards the melee to cover
Then they dont get it
Hi guys! I'm a new player trying to play machinist. Any tips you could share?
Healers almost never proc divine veil so the only thing that feels reliable to me is to cast it in advance, hope they don't heal me early, then clemency during the raidwide cast
If healers dont proc it then they dont need it
You dont need PoA and veil in pugs
They're nice
But not needed
Because fact of the matter is pulling off [running to an ideal spot that will maximize divine veil aoe -> divine veil -> clemency] takes too long if you wait until the raidwide cast happens
Throw them out and if people want them then they'll take it
Can always just quick tap it for the people you can reach with it
In pugs its whatever tbh
Optimal isn't realistic
Dont think too hard with it
That's pretty much what I do but it just doesn't feel nice like GNB or DRK where you can just run to them, hit the skill, run back
Play it like those
Throw it out
If people wanr it. They'll take it
Otherwise its whatever
Who cares in pugs, doesn't change much
Not gonna make or break anything
Honestly I'm pretty anal about maximizing tank support so I ask these things
Just a habit from my past MMO
On an off tangent, it's hard to tell between 'they don't want it' and 'they're too dumb to realize they can make use of it'
is it against ToS to sell ex runs? I see a lot of these in PF
I should probably macro 'If you want raidwide mitigation, stand behind the boss because I ain't running after you' and call it a day
!faq balance
hello how can i see at what dlc i am at?
It is IkeaSofa..at least for RL money. They get away with it because SE does not accept third party evidence, such as discord messages etc.
like am i in heavensward or before
You'll get a giant ass title screen when you hit a new expansion
And the quest accept music changes
^^ https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests can also check here to see how far away from your current quest
Anyone on ps4 can tell me if there is a targeting setting that automatically targets the next enemy
Pressing X usually just targets my party member then i have to use circle and approach enemy and x again
Its tedious and confusing
so i got my account suspended temporarily yesterday and sent a message to SE about it. Today i got a message from them that basically just saying "we apologise for the delay in responding to your ticket" while the game launcher says i should get a message detailing what i need to do to resolve this issue. Should i try press further or just wait a bit longer on them?
Hi, what is better Hard Dungeon solo for grinding gear? Who have many gear? I'm lvl 79 White Mage
Probably supposed to send a tell or something
what do you mean?
They're advertising.
So people dont entwr the PF and bring it down
They do it to keep it up for advertising
blacklist aggressively
Are you looking for good dungeon gear for alts?
otherwise they never go away
No, gear for seals
you dont need to unlock level 100 of PotD to unlock HoH?
Just do the highest level thing you know you can solo
50
Use Scaevan gear or gear from Qitana's Ravel, Malikah's Well and Mt. Gulg until you're level 80
For hoh
Nope, level 50
There isn't a specific dungeon who give many?
What's your current gear?
think each gives about the same amount of gear
What's your average iLvl
Not really, personally I just do innocence ex, cause he drops 4 accessories that are worth a good bit, and nobody really wants them.
Also good for leveling GSM desynth
Ok ty, I try what is max dungeon i can doing
Start with something like keeper of the lake
They're level 79...
Pretty easy solo
How is this advice helpful?
They're just looking for dungeons for seals
My lvl high mage is 79 with complete Augmented Lost Allagan
I think the higher up the dungeon is the more seals it'll award
I.E Keeper would award more than like Ampadoor
Lost Allagan is pretty low
At least I think
most gear in ARR gives belowe 1000 or so i think
Tbh you can also just grind poetics, buy scavean gear and just sell that
Yeah
Use the scaevan gear
Grinding out dungeons like sohm al unsynced can be decent
Or you can do ghimlyt dark
Idk why people rush this much, before every expansion, I made sure to get max or near max IL I could for the class I was using for the next expansion
What advantage is there to marriage
Is there an expected ideal potency for living shadow?
Nothing. But people do it for the mount
And if you wanna teleport to someone instantly
Can I be the ghey and same sex
Yes
Most games don't allow
Same sex is allowed
Yesterday I finnish stormblood so I don't unblock new maps where i can get new gear
Rhalgrs
Or kugane
They have poetics gear vendors now
It is immersive
what's the best class beat wanderer's palace (hard) with adventure squad
i cannot beat the last boss for the life of me
i can't get the healer to heal me to full when the boss casts doom
Early game is it better to party or solo
Exp splits in party?
No
No

What's the current next step up from 3rd upgrade resistance weapons?
None
500 current limit
Sorry, I meant not necessarily resistance weapons, but more like 'if you have a 3rd upgrade resistance, what weapon should you aim for next?'
Emerald
why appears an X in gear in glam plate screen? That book Lakeside Codex should be able to use as glam without problem
Anyone on primal willing to help me get aether currents in sea of clouds/coerthas western/forelands?
@wheat plume you can't use it as a glam due to level differences. In this case, it seems you're either not on the right job or your book is below the level of the codex.
Not item level, just level.
Its from my friend, the book is lvl 71, his character is sch lvl 74
Exarchic, if you have an 80 crafter to pentameld.
I assume he's using the level 70 Scaevan book then @wheat plume
Level 70 < level 71 so you cannot glam the Lakeland book onto the Scaevan book
oh, so not only the character must be higher, but every gear set? got it, thxs
theres no ilvl difference between the 2nd and 3rd step
I think you mean 1st and 2nd iirc
3rd is recollection rank
Which boosts it to 500.
The other two are like
480/485
485 > 500 > 500 with glow
Is it a bad idea to tank copied factory with min ilvl 435? I just barely pass with AF80 and some amaurot stuff
Using resistance ilvl 485 wep
Do I need to equip something to go from pugilist to monk?
ok ty
what do you do with the heavensward fragment?
you'll be fine, someone else is going to take aggro over you anyway
no chance you're going to outdps another tank if you are 435 ilevel
for the 2nd boss, just soak all the robot tethers and mitigate or invuln or something
get 99 of them and trade them for gear
holmgang
Yea I just meant for the split-into-3 parts
I'd wish
Anyone on primal willing to fly me around and get aether currents for some HW zones?
is there a fast or optimal way to get xp for my alchemist

May be silly Q but can you do the relic weapon fates unsynced in Heavensward?
the fates? you can't unsync fates
How hard are unreals relative to extremes?
they're literally just ARR extremes
just with numbers scaled to level 80
how hard is titan EX compared to shadowbringers EX encounters? I guess more or less the same difficulty?
how do i mark numbers 1, 2, 3, etc on specific mobs?
just picked up the complete edition. i kinda just want to get through the game for the story. what's a good class to pick for that and to quickly queue up into groups and stuff?
Fastest queues are going to be tanks, but that comes with ever so slightly higher performance expectations
okay, cool i'm assuming it should be fairly intuitive once you play the game for awhile or i can watch guides on youtube or something
which tank class would you suggest?
!faq tankguide
You can only start as gladiator/paladin or Maradurer/warrior
If I do fates then enter a instance of some sort, do I stil get the exp from the Fate?
Are there any capris in this game?
errr it's usually healers that have the fastest queues
tanks are second to them
Can anyone help me out? I see that Scrips can be exchanged for Cordials but I'm not seeing them in the Scrip shop
Do your job quests, do your GC deliveries, if you need more xp after that to get to the next job quest, craft the highest level thing you can that you haven't crafted yet.
any class is fine to start on
I don't think it's about being a beginner or not. No role is easier than the other, it's just more pressure for a healer if you fuck up. I recommend healing if you want to heal, if not, don't.
healing in ff14 is unique from other mmorpgs
you only get white mage at the start anyway
it's your only healing option at level 1
Ah, well I'm going dps early on for story progression purposes
Planning to end game class later
wouldn't be a bad idea to start on arcanist
Can only imagine how long finish MSQ would be as a healer 😂 😂 😂
when you are 30 you get both scholar and summoner
the race you choose doesn't really matter, right?
so you get a healer and dps that level simultaneously
No
not really
Tbh start as a tank or healer for your first role; queues on deeps are miserable
It has like 2 or 3 points, matters till lvl 10 then doesn't. @faint star
Healers dont take longer to do story
and people do the story as healer all the time
swag
healers typically do anywhere between 40-60% of the damage a DPS does
it may get boring spamming like 1 skill over and over again though
Hell they're probably do story faster with que times
Ah, I started as a pug to go ninja for story.
all of the healers only have like 4 total buttons for DPS, and they all just maintain 1 dot and spam 1 spell
I'll swap to anarchist when I can
Thanks
Oh
Maybe I'll wait to dungeons or party to start
Yeah it's a bit disappointing but meh
How bad is grinding class levels
Just stone everything to death 4head
i can't have a macro icon be the emote menu icon, can i?
you don't really grind levels like that in ff14
you should be more concerned about completing the story
Just tedious to level alts
story is the biggest gate to progression, not levels
you can have as many level 80s as you want but if you haven't beat story then you still can't actually do any content with them
I meant, if I went lvl lvl 50 on ninja to clear msq and then swap to a lvl 1 healer and prep for raids
How long would lvl 1 to 50 be
Or would it be better to just swap now
you should be able to level two or three classes simultaneously
Maybe a day or two depending
in fact the game encourages you to do so
!faq altlvlguide
MSQ and dailies will reward more than enough experience to keep up with two or three classes
even more if you have road to 70 bonus
Sorry for all the pleb questions
chances are you're going to have both a level 50 ninja and healer at that point
Also, where is the Smith in Uldah, when I was free trail I did gridania and know theirs is in the forest.
It gave sweet gear and a exp ring
You get so much xp with road to 70 that I ended up doing the level 24 MSQ on level 34
Thanks
And like, just by doing your job quests/hunting logs/dungeons you level to 30 HELLA fast
What's the armory bonus btw
!faq armoury
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
^ armoury bonus, basically: any job lower than your highest will receive 100% bonus exp. yes it stacks with other exp modifiers
well..up til 69
trusts were advertised to take "at least 30minutes" generally
the level cap is different
this isnt HW anymore
there are charts out there stating the exp gained per floor clears etc for potd
I'm not sure entirely.. I do know they have PoTD>HoH and now Bozja for these 'deep dungeon' styles of alternative leveling paths
^^ I'll try to find that potd exp list somewhere
yoyo
we got 4 people in the party
whats the faster way to level below 50? palace of dead or dungeons
dungeons if you have instant queue.
spamming dungeons will be faster than potd
with 4 people all queues are gonna be instant
so just tell your tank to go nuts
dungeons (not including capped, such as lvl 50/60/70/80) will provide way more exp
do not spam cap dungeons, they were made with the level cap of their time in mind and thus dont offer as much exp.
ty homie
The irony when both the other tanks were also running AF80

is there any way to stop the Mount custom hotbar from taking over your primary one
you should bring at least a few maps of your own
and ask them about their preferred loot rules
some people say everyone gets 1 drop then it's all ffa
others just start ffa
Doesn't it only do it when on special mounts?
yeah. Was wondering if there was a way to stop that
wait nvm
lol i'm fuckin stupid
well, I do need my primary bar when I'm on my gatherers since my skills are on there but I forgot you can just click back to it
Sleeve draw is basically a draw but it always gives me a card with seal i dont have, correct?
yes
gochu thanks, sometimes im getting confused by those descriptions. lol
oh and one more question since i've never actually tried it...
Minor Arcana doesnt give you seal, right?
Correct
just making sure, thanks
can entry subs make another character on a different data center? or only standard
so i can have one on coeurl, one brynhildr and one over at a different data center?
Yes
how can I use limit burst skill?(im in ARR)
Actions and traits > general > limit break
thanks, that was fast
is there a limit to the number of members in an fc?
512
yoyo
was tryin the squadron thing
for dungeons
i dont think my squadron healer was doing a good job healing
despite being like, higher level than the dungeon itself
is there a trick to that stuff
or anything important i should kno
Make sure they’re not on the offensive strategy that increases damage, that makes them riskier with their heals
Best to have them on the defensive or healing strategy for more consistent heals
Different thing
i had engage and disengage
You get strategies for each member as you complete squadron dungeons
where do is et em tho
Using disengage can sometimes help make them start healing too
You set strategies at the squadron base
ty homie
is holy spirit only good for long range attacks when neccessary?
Can I buy older anima replicas? I really hate how the pally set changed from blue to regular boring flames
Independent will still let them heal, they just won’t be as heal botty as they would with the healer-specific one
should i do easier dungeons first to unlock the healing command?

Yes, one of the Allagan nodes near ardashir and gerolt sells replicas
huh, ok. i guess ill need to level up to 80 first to see
And yeah, I recommend doing the lower level dungeons first
PLD gets a proper magic burst at 68 with Requiescat
Pretty sure not, or it’s very minor
Thx Wynne.
