questions-and-help

[wheat plume]

all items to be gathered can be obtainable in HQ just with better stats? every item? Or are there any items that arent there in HQ ?

[cold crescent]

would low level squadron dungeons give decent xp?

[faint flare]

If a item has a HQ variant, you can gather it as HQ

It caps at 15% before bhffs

[cold crescent]

for level 46 character

i think i need to do those dungeons to unlock commands and stuff

[faint flare]

Squadron dungeons are literally just running the dungeon itself

Just with npcs

[cold crescent]

do those dungeons give decent xp then

[faint flare]

If you're within their range yes

[cold crescent]

like deepcroft and the like

[faint flare]

They dont give more or less xp

In squadrons

[cold crescent]

so like

if i ran tam tara deepcroft at level 64

46*

would xp be helpful or nah

[faint flare]

No

[cold crescent]

getting 200k each run of palace i think

[faint flare]

It would be like if you just qued for it normally

You wouldn't notice the xp

[cold crescent]

was tryna do darkhold but my party deadass couldn't heal me

[fallen niche]

So for tank swaps, does one tank just use shirk on another tank? Or is there more to a tank swap than that

[faint flare]

Off tank provokes, main tank shirks

Thats it

Swap done

[fallen niche]

aight

[leaden ginkgo]

How well does FFXIV run in a PS4?

[faint flare]

Pretty well

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you guys think its worth buying a PS4 if i love the game but my Laptop doesnt run it amazingly

i have to play 30fps

[little swift]

depends on the cost of the ps4 AND the full game

because the game currently also has ps5 support

and if the cost is high enough you might as well upgrade your pc

[leaden ginkgo]

im pretty sure the laptop i have is impossible to upgrade lol

[gritty oracle]

where can I check my elemental level?

[faint flare]

Your xp bar

Or party list, it replaces your normal level

[ocean tartan]

NG+ has achievment or incentive?

[crimson wind]

No

[ocean tartan]

Dont know why my text is red. sorry.

[jovial tide]

Is there a list of tomestone of allegory sources?

[faint flare]

All lv80 content basically...Shadowbringers hunts, 80 treasure maps

[drowsy stream]

hey can you guys explain limit gauges and limit breaks, what are they in FF and how do I use them ? I play a white mage and my kid plays a bard, we are both 4 days into the game and have no idea what this is

[warped nest]

Limit break are powerful actions you can perform

[faint flare]

They're shared within the party to execute special attacks

[warped nest]

Limit break has 3 level

[faint flare]

Actions and traits > general > limit break

For the button

[warped nest]

And has 5 variation for 5 roles: tank, healer, melee, physical range, magic range

[faint flare]

And gives you a general run down of what each roles limit break is

[warped nest]

Vinyl, go for it

[faint flare]

!action Limit Break

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[faint flare]

Wow that's not a thing

[gleaming mist]

the actual names of the actions aren't very descriptive

!action skyshard

[drowsy stream]

Where does the limit gauge come up on the screen ?

[zinc orbit]

**Skyshard** : lvl 0 All Classes (0.0 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 1,650 to all enemies near point of impact.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warped nest]

The size of your limit gauge is determined by party size and content, and you can have anywhere between 1 to 3 gauge, how many you have determines the strength of your Limit break

[faint flare]

The limit break action is a general run down of each type

[drowsy stream]

so when do you use them?

as a bard or a white mage?

[warped nest]

As a Bard, Limit Break 1/2/3 is good for clearing a big group of enemies

[faint flare]

Bard: use on big trash pulls

[warped nest]

Because Bard LB is a Line AOE

[open ember]

You never use healer LB3 unless everyone is dead

[faint flare]

Healer: barely ever until you get 3 bars as healer LB is a full party heal and raise

Which can save runs when everyone dies

[open ember]

And tank LB3 is even rarer and hardly used period

[warped nest]

For Healer, LB1/2 is just big heal, so it is not always necessary. LB3 is a full heal + full rez, which can potentially save a run

[open ember]

You will always wanna prioritize melee lb3 cuz it does more damage

[warped nest]

I want to remind you that in 4 player dungeons, your LB gauge is capped at 2 bar

[open ember]

Caster lb3 is good for trash mobs too

[warped nest]

Mage and Physical Range LB are the same power (AFAIK), just different AOE shape

[drowsy stream]

so once a party member uses it, no1 else can use until it fills up again?

[warped nest]

Yeah

[faint flare]

Its a shared resource

So yes

[open ember]

Also! If someone disconnects, your bars drop to 3

And if that person comes baxk

[warped nest]

You meant 2

[open ember]

YES

Sorry

[faint flare]

Well drop by 1 in general

As you're no longer a Light/full parry

[drowsy stream]

so basically you hit that and it increases the power of all attacks?

[open ember]

If that person comes back it rests completely

[faint flare]

It does one big hit

[tepid stag]

how do you get the eastern lady errant armor?

[warped nest]

LB itself is one powerful action

[open ember]

Errant?

[warped nest]

Powerful heal, defense, or offense, depending on who uses LB

[tepid stag]

I saw it on the wiki released in 5.4

[open ember]

There are several eastern outfits but idk about one named "errant"

There are several eastern outfits but idk about one named "errant"

[drowsy stream]

where does the limit break bar show up, i never noticed it lol

[faint flare]

DPS LB is just one big hit on the target(s)...tank is party mitigation for 6s, healer is heal and raise at lb3

[warped nest]

It could be data-mined now

And released later

[faint flare]

Top left

By default

[open ember]

Yeah so far they've only released the school outfits

[warped nest]

If you cannot spot it, open HUD layout, use the drop down list

[open ember]

Its 3 big bars usually on the top of the party list if you didn't move it

Its hard to Not Notice

[warped nest]

Does it show when you are on open map?

[faint flare]

Only if you're a light/full party

Hi guys im a new player. Currently only Lv. 15. with one class. I just learned about the Road to Lv 70 buff. How do you get that?

[hasty musk]

Play on a preferred server

[icy spindle]

is adamantoise a preferred server?

[hasty musk]

Not currently

It's not really necessary anyway

You'll get more than enough exp from the MSQ

[icy spindle]

Time is a premium in my case. I feel like it would be necessary for someone like me

do i just need to change servers?

[faint flare]

It doesn't matter for your first job

Its helpful for levelling alt jobs

Your level means nothing as you do story

[icy spindle]

Oh, okay

[faint flare]

Hitting 80 without doing story is completely meaningless

[static slate]

when do i get mounts

[placid ridge]

You get your first at lvl30

It is a side quest

[faint flare]

20

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[placid ridge]

Oh right 30 is to fight with your chocobo

If you enjoy playing WHM, there's no reason to change if you don't want to. Healers get faster dungeon queues than dps too.

While "fun" is a subjective measure: yes. DNC is fun.

[finite bronze]

Is it like fire emblem dancer?

My only reference to a dancing class

[agile laurel]

if you like complexity in a class, dnc is likely not it

but it is pretty fun

[open coral]

I have no idea what Fire Emblem DNC is like, so I can't give you a reference based on that.

[finite bronze]

A support class that speeds up other people cast time or movement

[open coral]

DNC is basically a pure-combo class with support features built in.

[finite bronze]

Etc

[agile laurel]

well, fire emblem is turn based and doesn't have combat, so

[finite bronze]

Concepts cam be similar

How do I become a dancer

Sorry for 10000 questions

[open coral]

You'll need to have at least one other job at level 60

And own Shadowbringers

[finite bronze]

Oh so a while

[open coral]

Then you'll be able to pick up the quest to become a DNC in Limsa Lominsa.

DNC starts at level 60 itself, so if you level one job that far, then switch, you won't lose any effective progress.

What does an account suspension mean how what are the reasons for it?

The HQ chances of gathering an item is 1%, with better stats that goes to 15?

Yep

Nodes can sometimes boost it further, and then you have actions that boost it too

!action unearth iii

**Unearth III** : lvl 63 MIN (300 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases the chance of obtaining HQ items while gathering by 30% - 100%. Increase is determined by your perception rating. Does not increase chances for items which start at 0%.

Cannot be used with Unearth.

Can I see how much perception do I need to get it to 15%?

This one makes HQ rate 100% if you overstat an item enough

!action Preparation

**Preparation** : lvl 12 BTN (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reveals the conditions for obtaining HQ items while gathering.

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

I think this one does?

Might only show minimum needed for 1%, though

[wheat plume]

Preparation only shows me how much perception I need to see the 1%

but not how much extra perception I need to make the 1% get to 15%

[obsidian patio]

Then there’s no way to know until you hit it

[wheat plume]

oh, ok

is there a way to get my GP faster when I'm not mining?

[obsidian patio]

Besides cordials, no

What are cordials?

[open coral]

consumables that will raise a given stat (in this case GP) for a set period of time.

[wheat plume]

how much time?

[raven sage]

it's a flat increase not over time

[faint flare]

Cordials just give you like 300gp

On a cooldown

Some cordials give 350

[south roost]

Tyvm

[wheat plume]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong: for mining an HQ item, it shows chance of HQ is 1% (I have good gear for my lvl), so I use Unearth II to get it to 31% and with the 4 attemps in a node, I luckily get 1, but I need to wait some time to get my GP back to use Unearth II again.
Is it OK to do that? Because the waiting time between each node. Or is there an easy/faster way of doing it?

[obsidian patio]

I recommend grinding nodes until you get enough GP, since you can get lucky

[wheat plume]

why? doing nodes gives GP faster?

[obsidian patio]

Though you should have more than 1% chance if you are using gear close to your level, unless you’re in the weird spot of start of new expansion node items with previous expansion gear. (IE level 48-49 gear mining level 51-55 items)

It’s a bit slower, but you can still get lucky with that 1% and potentially get it done faster

[south roost]

Uhm is there something I have to do to unlock quest levels(I've already beaten ARR)? He says I have to prove myself against the monsters in the area first

[obsidian patio]

Complete the “Leves of x” quest from the levemete

Which gives a leve for you to do to unlock the others

[south roost]

He has no quest for me

[open coral]

You have to complete the one from your main city first, iirc.

So if you haven't done that, none of the others will show up

[obsidian patio]

Oh yeah, that’s a thing

You’ll need to go back to your starting city’s adventurers guild and do that leve quest, which unlocks all of the ARR levemete quests

[south roost]

Ok tyvm and yea I havnt done that one yet so I'll do it now

This is a pretty general tip guide

[woven mural]

bookmarked ty

[open coral]

Outside of this guide, the game itself does a pretty good job of walking you through any new system you encounter.

[obsidian patio]

Wesk Alber on YouTube should have leveling rotation guides for all the jobs if you want to look it up

[wheat plume]

What's "script gear"? The things crafted in the collectables section?

[open coral]

"Scrip" gear is crafting/gathering "endgame" gear.

[obsidian patio]

Yep, those exchange for a currency you can use for a bunch of stuff, including gear

[woven mural]

I was looking for more of an in-depth look on class skills and passives

[open coral]

Honestly the best way to learn about class skills and passives is to read the tooltips.

Those pretty well spell out the details of what everything does.

[wheat plume]

And doing that can help me get better gear for my gatherers right now ? (Im in HW)

[woven mural]

alright, is every class just as viable as the other?

no dominating meta?

[open coral]

Yes.

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

thank you very much

[coral elk]

When a primal is reincarnated, does it have memories from previous lives? Or is it essentially a new being?

[woven mural]

if I have a trial version of the game I can't choose dark knight, right?

[static slate]

was that to me?

[little swift]

add-ons don't have the same pervasive universality that wow uses them at

[open coral]

Yes, but also no. Mostly there's just the damage meter ACT, which is technically against ToS to use.

[little swift]

you can do dark knight

once you reach hw

[woven mural]

oh, until then I can pick any class?

[south roost]

Ok so I completed my first one and got offered a lv20 leve from the area you said

But it's only for DoW/M

Not gathering

[static slate]

has anyone actually been banned for uysing tho?

[open coral]

If they use it to harass others or otherwise make it obvious that they're using it, yes.

[obsidian patio]

The leves of x quests have you be tested with combat leves, once you do those you can get gathering leves

[static slate]

oh damn lmao

[south roost]

Oh ok ty^^

[static slate]

so how do people know what damage everyones doing in dungeons./raids>?

[little swift]

some people never know their own damage

[open coral]

There are seven main jobs, plus Blue Mage (limited job), and Rogue which you cannot start as. However Rogue you can pick up once you've reached level 10 with your first class and have access to Limsa Lominsa.

[little swift]

it only barely matters at the highest level of content

but you can always use hp% to gauge your progress

[woven mural]

thank you!!

[alpine star]

Anyone have a really good guide to all the beast tribes? it's the one aspect of the game I've kinda ignored along my journey.....I'd love to know what tribe is worth doing...like what ones have the fancy mounts and pets?

[open coral]

For the most part, people don't care how much damage everyone in the party is doing for casual content. As long as the boss dies, it's assumed that everyone is doing their job.

[crystal bluff]

^

[static slate]

totally different from WoW LOL

[open coral]

Yes, it's a very different kind of game from that perspective.

[patent citrus]

yeah in wow, everything is straight forward. For healer, just heal bigger number = better

[static slate]

well no

but sure

[open coral]

It comes in part from the fact that there is a very small variance between the best and the worst damage for every given class in XIV, all other factors being equal.

In WoW, the variance between "best" dps and "worst" dps is massive.

[modern sail]

What's with the xp bar looking like it's still gaining stuff after 80?

[crystal bluff]

that shows your well rested exp

[modern sail]

So you still get rested at max?

yes

[modern sail]

[open coral]

Because even if one job is max level, other jobs can still benefit from rested.

oh yeah which is the best EU server?

[open coral]

A preferred server is the best.

[patent citrus]

If you are German, Shiva 🤔

[woven mural]

preferred, you say?

[south roost]

Finish and got the gathering leave, ty all^^

[obsidian patio]

I use this site for looking through collectible stuff https://ffxivcollect.com/

[open coral]

Yes. Preferred servers give a special bonus to your xp gains under level 70 for all jobs.

For a set amount of time.

[obsidian patio]

One of the filters is specifically for beast tribes

[alpine star]

@obsidian patio Thank you very much ❤️

[woven mural]

I posted a screenshot of my options, don't really know much else

[wheat plume]

What's the relationship between Quality and HQ% at crafting? What's the equation?

[open coral]

@woven mural Preferred servers for EU are currently:

Light DC - Lich, Zodiark (closed to new characters)
Chaos DC - Omega (closed to new characters)

So I would recommend starting on Lich right now.

[woven mural]

alright thank you very much

[exotic zodiac]

first time through msq and I've gotten to the praetorium- i've heard that most people want to speed through it and hate waiting for cutscenes, so i don't want to just use duty finder and make 7 other random people be stuck with me. any advice on how not to be a jerk? Should i start a party finder request with an explanation in the note or what?

[open coral]

Cutscenes are unskippable, so it doesn't matter.

[exotic zodiac]

the youtube vid i watched saying i should skip them must have been outdated or something. thanks!

[alpine star]

@exotic zodiac Yes you can't skip them now, so enjoy the story and most people will totally be cool with a first timer in Prae.

[patent citrus]

the people who will join also people who queued for Duty Roulette: MSQ.. so they know what they sign up for

[open coral]

Back in the last expansion they changed things so that cutscenes in both Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium are unskippable so that first timers like yourself wouldn't miss out on the story to speedrunners.

[patent citrus]

they are given huge EXP in return

[alpine star]

it was a good decision and they also got rid of vote to skip on everything

Big XP bonus, plus they get bonus poetics for being with a first timer.

[alpine star]

enjoy the story, and if anyone is a jerk just ignore em

[exotic zodiac]

that's really good to know, i'd hate to drag people's gaming plans down

[wheat plume]

Just try not to die, some areas have transporters and everybody ignore the mobs in some of them and just transport, the worst for a first time is to be left behind and miss part of the dungeon

[patent citrus]

If you met someone who complain after knowing what they sign up for, better just not associate with that person 😂

cause this person will complain wherever they go

[modern sail]

If you get left behind you can just sit back and enjoy the cutscene until it asks if you want to be teleported

[open coral]

Unless someone is using the exploit, it won't ask if you want to be teleported in the middle of a cutscene anyways...

[wheat plume]

Sadly doing that will make you miss the magitek

[gritty oracle]

With Nael, what happens if she enrages, casts Megaflare and the party survives with diamondback?

[modern sail]

It happened to me. Didn't want to lol.

[obsidian patio]

Nael keeps spamming Megaflare over and over once enrage starts

[gritty oracle]

oh ty!

these ARR fights are so weird and wonky

[rotund seal]

do people just run memoria on DF

will i be successful

this looks way too hard to pug it lmfao

[open coral]

Yes, and maybe.

If you're talking about Normal, just DF it.

If you're talking about EX, you'll have to PF

[patent citrus]

there's no memoria normal I think

since it's tied to quest

[open coral]

Oh, you're right

[worthy basin]

noep, its a solo instance inside ||cid's head||

[open coral]

Then PF is the only option for that one, yeah.

[patent citrus]

I really don't think people DF Ex anymore since it's quite "old" content..

[open coral]

I don't think anyone ever did DF for EX

[robust crow]

some people still do it for glam occassionally

just have to look for a party or make one yourself and be patient

[rotund seal]

maybe i just trust it LOL

[open coral]

You will never get a party using the DF for Memoria. You must make or find a party in the Party Finder unless you want to be sitting there forever.

Just saying.

As I recall there are a number of different versions of that quest you can get.

Check your quest journal to view which set of clues you have, and use a guide to see what to do with them.

Or you can just drop the quest. The reward is 1 gil.

It's literally not even worth doing.

[little swift]

its the achievement and the principle of doing it for fun though

[open coral]

loll

[hallow venture]

hey yall, my friend and I just started the game witht he free trial and we want to party together
is anyone willing to create a party for us since we cant create one ourselves?

[gritty oracle]

Is there a macro for calling out my current MP? I caguely remember seeing it on a macro a bit back.

[open coral]

Did you check Windbaud's Message before speaking to Valiant Hart? @cosmic fern

[warped nest]

Afaict, no

[gritty oracle]

Ask the novice network or approach someone in a city. But solo instances you'll have to do separately.

[open coral]

@cosmic fern Honestly the only thing I can think of is for you to drop the quest and restart it to try to reset the flags.

The Novice Explorer won't appear until you've gotten the key from Yayaroku

Which you haven't

I vaguely recall there was something to interact with on the downed pillar near Valiant Hart that would trigger a flag for the quest.

Not sure if that was the message or not.

Oh, you did get the key from Yayaroku?

Are you sure you're going to the right destination?

There are three possibilities.

Which one did you get?

Did you go inside the building next to that area?

Decorate it however you want?

You can also put NPCs in like a mender and a variety of vendors, etc.

[stray ruin]

Hey all, just started my samarui in ishgard.. what’s best way to hit 70? Keep doing MSQ?

[open coral]

If you haven't done the MSQ corresponding to your level, yes.

[patent citrus]

yeah, for DPS MSQ definitely the best way to level o_o

[open coral]

Otherwise, do daily roulettes, then either queue your highest level dungeon or do PotD/HoH until you reach the level of your MSQ, then do MSQ.

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, I'm stuck in the MSQ where I was supposed to get a quest called "Legacy of Allag" from the outlandish man. The previous quest to this is "the ultimate weapon" which is on my completed list, im not sure if i took "legacy of allag" but i cant find it on my quest list nor can i find outlandish man

what should i do? any help is appreciated. ty

[robust crow]

legacy of allag is in mor dhona

[leaden ginkgo]

thats where i am

[open coral]

"Legacy of Allag" is a

Not a

So don't get confused.

Not a

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah i know

i picked it up from the outlandish man

but now he disappeared and i dont even see the quest

[open coral]

Okay, then head out to the little outpost uhh

[robust crow]

if you have the quest, it tells you to go somewhere

if you picked it up, that is

[open coral]

I forget what it's called.

Okay, then head out to the little outpost uhh

[leaden ginkgo]

i know what youre talking about, ill try that aura

[open coral]

Yeah, if you picked up the quest, the objective will be out there.

[languid elbow]

is there a good place to farm the slips for twin adder? ive been doing the ones in east shroud but im level 50 could i be doing ones elsewhere that will give me more per quest?

[leaden ginkgo]

ty it worked Astra

[open coral]

You mean GC seals? The best way to get those is to do supply and provisioning missions by turning in gear you don't want/need

[languid elbow]

ive tried looking for those but they are never avalible do i need to do something first?

[open coral]

What rank are you?

[languid elbow]

the third rank

first class i think?

just before corporal

[open coral]

Oh

In that case just do whatever FATEs are the highest level you can access.

Also your first leveling roulette of the day should give you a good chunk

And make sure to do your GC hunt log as well

[languid elbow]

leveling roulette?

[open coral]

That's worth a ton

Leveling dungeon roulette. It comes available after you've unlocked the first two dungeons.

[languid elbow]

where do i access that?

[open coral]

In the Duty Finder, it's the first tab

The first time you do it every day, you'll get a bonus quantity of GC seals

[languid elbow]

oh nice, and then the hunt how do i do that?

[open coral]

Under the Logs heading in the menu, click on "Hunt Logs" and select the icon that has your Grand Company's emblem on it.

It will have certain enemies for you to kill X number of. Doing so will reward you with GC seals.

It's also required in order to get certain promotions

[languid elbow]

nice okay

and completeing all in a difficulty rewards a bonus?

[finite bronze]

Am I doing something wrong, whenever I cast a spell ill aggro onto a different enemy after casting and have to manually reselect the main target

[open coral]

Yes, you'll get a bonus amount of seals for completing each set of 10

[finite bronze]

Just killed me

[languid elbow]

appreciate the info astra thank you

[open coral]

Do you have more context for that? Is it enemies in a different group? Or are you hitting Tab (or if you're using controller - R1/L1 + R2/L2)?

[finite bronze]

I'm using controller and using r2 to cast

[open coral]

Are you maybe hitting R1/L1 while holding R2?

[finite bronze]

And when I have multi targets

[open coral]

That will scroll you to a different target

[finite bronze]

R1 just makes me get emote page

[open coral]

While holding R2?

[finite bronze]

Oh but I'm sure not touching r1

[open coral]

Hold on, let me do a quick test and see what you might be doing.

[finite bronze]

Only happens when aggrieved to 4+

[open coral]

Oh, how are you targeting things in the first place?

[finite bronze]

Never 2 or less

Directional pad

[open coral]

That's why

You're soft targeting

[finite bronze]

I have to use r1?

[open coral]

R1/L1 will automatically hard target

[finite bronze]

That sucks xD

[open coral]

You can also make sure to hit your "accept" button (X on the PS4 controller) after you've picked your target with the D pad

[finite bronze]

Oh thats sounds better

I hold controller with one finger on the r1/r2

A habit i got from fighting games lol

[open coral]

The target will have a rotating circle on them if it's a soft target, and a double hard circle on the ground around them for hard targets

[finite bronze]

Also this a technical question, but is their advantage to 1st person vs 3rd person in animation speed?

[open coral]

No

Most people play in 3rd person because it's easier to deal with mechanics though.

[finite bronze]

Sorry for dumb question, some MMOs have those exploits

XD

[robust crow]

going first person makes talking to npcs neat

[open coral]

1st person extremely limits your range of vision

Which can make it more difficult to react quickly to incoming mechanics

The game is designed to be played in 3rd person

im in the right spot to hunt one of the targets nut they are not here, do i need to initiate the hunt somehow?

[open coral]

Which target are you trying to hunt?

[languid elbow]

in eats shroud bramble patch

[open coral]

You'll need to look around for them.

[languid elbow]

east*

[open coral]

They'll have a triple yellow semicircle over their head

[obsidian patio]

It’s a bit picky on the exact spot, I think those are near the bridge to the Sylphlands

[open coral]

Yeah, there's two or three that spawn there

You may have to wait a minute or two if someone has been through recently as well.

[languid elbow]

i found em thanks again

[finite bronze]

Thanks alot @open coral you don't know how many times I raged cuz of that lock

😂

[open coral]

You're not the first to encounter that problem, and you won't be the last 😄

[scarlet shoal]

yo

I got a problem

[little swift]

Yes?

[open coral]

What problem would that be?

[scarlet shoal]

About psn

Since I am PS4 player

Opened up the game

[open coral]

Okay? Can you be more specific?

[scarlet shoal]

"Can't connect to the server"

(WV-33898-1)

[open coral]

Are you logged in to the PSN?

[scarlet shoal]

Mhm

[open coral]

Is your internet functioning?

[scarlet shoal]

Browser doesn't work

Internet is functioning yes

[obsidian patio]

Sounds like PSN is having issues then, not much you can do about it

[scarlet shoal]

damn

Told me to check the status of psn

[open coral]

It looks like that error means you might need to update your PS4

Do you have an update?

[scarlet shoal]

My ps4 doesnt have an update

I did check

Restarted my ps4

turned it off

switched wifi

Alright

[finite bronze]

Can you only change appearance via pial for 10 dollars

If I regret it later appearance wise

[open coral]

You get a free Fantasia upon finishing the level 50 quest "The Ultimate Weapon" but otherwise, yes

[obsidian patio]

You get one free race/gender change through the story

The hairstylist ingame can also do some changes for your character, but mostly hair-related and tattoos

[finite bronze]

Ah do I unlock glamor before then

[open coral]

Yes.

[finite bronze]

So I know what I wanna be propper

Okey dankies

[open coral]

You can unlock glamour as well as the hairstylist around level 15

[obsidian patio]

Hairstylist is unlocked at level 15 with the quest “Beauty is Only Scalp Deep” in Limsa Lominsa

for NIN's assassinate, what makes you "assassinate ready"?

[neon trellis]

So I've been rolling greed on every dungeon drop. What's the best use of all of the miscellaneous gear I've accumulated? I was going to turn them in to grand company for seals. Any other use that I'm not thinking about?

[little swift]

!action dream within a dream

[obsidian patio]

Dream Within A Dream gives the buff once you’re 60 or higher

[crystal bluff]

ah
thx

[open coral]

Turning in for GC seals is one option. You could also save it to use if you're planning to level the corresponding classes.

[little swift]

Also desynth leveling for crafters

[neon trellis]

I decided to use gunbreaker to learn tank, so the starting gear is way higher level than any of the random gear. I'm going to go through and filter for my possible dragoon down the line. I'm still pre-heavensward so it's all pretty basic

My armory chest isn't exactly bursting at the seams, but I need to probably figure it out sooner rather than later

[finite bronze]

Journey thing in mog shop worth it? And donI lose story?

[open coral]

If you're talking about the class boost, you'll miss out on the job quest storyline for whichever class you boost.

If you're talking about the MSQ skip, then yes, you'll skip all of the MSQ story.

Up to wherever the skip goes.

If you're on your first playthrough of the game, I would say that neither the character nor the MSQ skip are worth it.

[finite bronze]

Oh nvm then

[willow dune]

Are there some sort of limitations to Squadron Enlistment Papers? I've completed tasks from the Challenge Log and not gotten new ones. Happened a few times

[open coral]

You don't always get them. And you won't get new ones for the same challenges you've got recruits waiting from.

[jovial tide]

What do dice marker mechanics mean?

[willow dune]

Oh that's nasty

[open coral]

Stop moving/casting/attacking before it hits 1

If you're still doing anything when it hits 1, you'll take a lot of damage.

[languid elbow]

is it possible to do a dungeon solo?

just trying to hunt a couple specific enemies

[open coral]

At level, no. Unsynced and at least 10 levels over the dungeon level, yes.

[languid elbow]

im way over the dungeon level

im 51 the dungeon is 18

[open coral]

In that case you can go into the dungeon finder settings and select the "undersized party" option.

That will allow you to go into your selected dungeon at your current level with as few members as you want.

[languid elbow]

where do i find the settings?

[open coral]

The gear icon at the top of the Duty Finder window

Should be the top left of the window

[languid elbow]

perfect thanks

[forest lark]

How often is mogstation updated with new glamours?

[manic flare]

is it against ToS to have two instances of FFXIV open with two different accounts?

and against ToS to use one account as a mule?

About once per patch?

[forest lark]

Oh, ok

[jovial tide]

[finite bronze]

Can steam play with ps4

Or is steam standalone

[open coral]

All platforms can play with all other platforms.

[finite bronze]

[open coral]

Unless you mean can you play on Steam, then go play on PS4, to which the answer is "only if you own a license for both platforms"

[finite bronze]

No a friend

[open coral]

Oh, yeah, in that case no issue.

[finite bronze]

Forcing my discord to play with me

[open coral]

The game is 100% cross-platform

[obsidian patio]

@manic flare AFAIK multiboxing is fine as long as you’re not using programs to make a single input/button press go to multiple games

[small atlas]

to enter above lvl 30 in HoH u need to do it solo?

[obsidian patio]

Needs to be a fixed party

Which means you set up a party beforehand and you don’t “queue” into it

[small atlas]

ah i c, makes sense

thank you

[languid elbow]

is there like a picture mode or a way i can take photos without the hud?

[small atlas]

/gpose

[obsidian patio]

Scroll Lock also hides the hud

[small atlas]

or scroll lock

^ye what he said

[open coral]

Or if you're on controller L1 + Pad

[languid elbow]

im on controller but l1+pad doesnt work

[open coral]

But gpose has a bunch of additional functions like time and weather freeze, some lighting options, etc.

Or just touching it?

[languid elbow]

what do you mean by pad button?

im on xbox

[open coral]

Oh

[open coral]

idk how to do it with an xbox controller

[languid elbow]

[potent shale]

Can someone help me with ride pillions

[open coral]

In what way?

[potent shale]

Because I have a ceremony Chocobo yet no one can ride it except my friend

Like I offer them rides

[open coral]

Are they in party with you at the time?

[potent shale]

They say they cann find the pillion section

My friend yes

[open coral]

The other people though

Are they in party with you when you offer them rides?

[potent shale]

No

[open coral]

And is your friend already in the pillion seat

Yeah, that's why

Only party members can ride pillion

The Ceremony Chocobo only has one pillion seat as well, so even if you invite the other people to your party, if your friend is already in the pillion seat, they still won't be able to ride.

[potent shale]

It's ok

I just need to know how it works

[open coral]

Yeah, the main requirement is that you be in a party with whomever is going to ride pillion.

[leaden ginkgo]

I've been playing for so long but I really need to know

Is there a reason level 1-60 accessories cost so much on the MB?

[twilit arch]

taking advantage of people's laziness/lack of knowledge

[leaden ginkgo]

Huh, weird

[twilit arch]

not really

its pretty common

in not just the accessories but almost everything else that can be bought from vendors

[leaden ginkgo]

I've been begrudgingly levelling crafters but I can't find any 50-60 vendor accessories anywhere, am I just dumb or do they not exist

[oak ice]

Craft them :)

[reef surge]

Heyo guys, how would I go about finding a group for hunting those boss FATEs? It seems fun and I'm not sure if there's a channel for that

[jade quartz]

Oh crafting

Craft your own yeah

[open coral]

There's a whole discord for that.

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm legit only levelling WVR on this alt for glam, so

[jade quartz]

If you want them hq

[open coral]

I'm not sure we have a kupo macro for it though.

[twilit arch]

for crafting accessories, 50/60 are either scrips or craft your own

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't have GSM levelled

[jade quartz]

Though honestly if you level via Ishgardian Restoration the level 50/51 gear can last you to 60

[leaden ginkgo]

Ye, I thought so too but Im short on CP

[oak ice]

I used some level 23 ones until yellow scrip at 70

[open coral]

https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

They do regular hunts, and world boss FATEs

[reef surge]

Ah that's the one I found! good thing it's the right one

[winged flint]

Does anyone have a work around for the ps5 controller? i have steam controller turned off and my bindings are still all out of wack

[mossy wadi]

IDK if it will work.

PS4 controller works but you probably don't have that.

[winged flint]

i just moved so my ps4 controller and cable are somewhere in a box buried unfortunately. i just resubbed and was hoping to play

[mossy wadi]

There was a software called Xpadder that let you map in-game KB presses and then on controller it subbed those for button presses

[kind crater]

can revive a dead party member?

that im mplaying with?

can I like buy a pheonix down or something?

[mossy wadi]

yes

White Mage or other healre type

[open coral]

If you're a healer or a Summoner you'll have a spell

[kind crater]

what if im not

[open coral]

If not, you can't while in combat

[kind crater]

is that the only way is with a spell?

[open coral]

Phoenix Down only works out of combat

[kind crater]

out of combat

okay

[mossy wadi]

oh....

what is your toon?

[primal narwhal]

Red mage, summoner, astrologian, scholar, white mage have revives iirc

[open coral]

As an aside, if you're in a dungeon, the dead person can either wait for the healer to res them, or simply release and run back (unless you're in a boss fight, in which case they'll be locked out of the room if they do that).

In the world, releasing will send them back to their "home" aetheryte.

RDM does, but they don't get their res until level 64

The rest can all res at level 12-ish.

[mossy wadi]

Conjurer can res before class change.

[open coral]

CNJ is WHM, so yes.

SMN is the one I think you mean, and that's because, like the other healer jobs, they get their raise around level 12 on account of being the branch with SCH

[twilit arch]

arcanist has access to resurrect at 12 so

[mossy wadi]

I keep hearing Saruman in my head.

no, wait.... Wormtongue? Whoever said "A conjurer of cheap tricks!"

[open coral]

Gandalf said that... "Do not take me for a conjurer of cheap tricks!"

But we're drifting off topic

[mossy wadi]

ooops

[desert crag]

whats a good way to start leveling a new class?

[open coral]

Depends on the class.

[desert crag]

i want to become machinist

[open coral]

For MCH, you'll want to do daily roulettes, then either highest level leveling dungeon spam OR PotD

Depending on how your queue times look

[mossy wadi]

Stay in an area where your level is within range of the monsters. Don't fight red ones... or even get close or they'll aggro

[open coral]

God no

Don't do that

That's a terrible way to level.

[desert crag]

okay fairly new to a lot of stuff outside the main quests... whats OR and PotD?

[slate arrow]

leveling in the open world is only for jobs below level 15

[mossy wadi]

no?

[open coral]

Grinding mobs is not the way to level in this game

"or" is a conjunction

[desert crag]

ohhhh okay im stupid :3

[open coral]

PotD is "Palace of the Dead", which is one of the two "deep dungeons", special class-agnostic dungeons which have a different leveling system.

[mossy wadi]

oh yah..... I was about to say "do leves when you can"

[desert crag]

oh okay

[slate arrow]

Leves are also not very good for combat jobs

[mossy wadi]

then spam the group content like dungeons

[open coral]

For dps PotD and the level 60+ Heaven-on-High (HoH) are often suggested as alternatives for leveling as they tend to have a shorter queue time than queueing for specific dungeons.

[mossy wadi]

low level to 20s? good?

[desert crag]

ok

[mossy wadi]

oh I tried PotD but it was confusing. You start lvl 1 then build up to .... what?

[open coral]

Generally speaking, however, queueing for your highest level leveling dungeon is going to be the best xp for time spent in the content.

For dps it really just comes down to time spent in queue.

[open coral]

For PotD you build up to level 60, HoH to 30

[mossy wadi]

And it was randomly generated?

[slate arrow]

Deep Dungeons operate on roguelite rules, but basically every 10 floors nets you an EXP reward. For palace of the dead, people reset to floors 51-60 since that's the fastest way

[open coral]

^

[mossy wadi]

Nah, I mean what do you do inside it? I was confused

[open coral]

Oh, you just... kill things.

That's it

[slate arrow]

You get down to the 10th floor of the current set.

It's a roguelite

[open coral]

Then you kill the boss on the 10th floor

[slate arrow]

There's also rare rewards on the later floors, but we're talking like. Floors 180+

[mossy wadi]

you kill monsters, run to a goal before it disappears....?

[slate arrow]

Past floor 100 you need a premade party.

[open coral]

The goal doesn't disappear

[slate arrow]

Goal doesn't disappear once you kill the prerequisite number of mobs

However, it will deactivate if any member of the party has aggro

[mossy wadi]

oh, but you have to run to it and not have the rest of the team wait?

[open coral]

The whole team has to stand in it

[slate arrow]

you don't have to but if you're speed leveling it's general good practice to get to the exit asap yes

However on lower floors speeding to the exit is a pretty easy way to wipe the run so

It really depends on if you're in a pug group or not

[desert crag]

where can i unlock this dungeon?

[slate arrow]

gridania's adventurers guild

[desert crag]

okay ty

[open coral]

PotD can be unlocked with the "The House That Death Built" in Gridania

[desert crag]

awesome. so go there and i clear floors with people and then repeat?

[open coral]

Yep

[desert crag]

❤️ ty all

[open coral]

You might have a little trouble getting up to floor 51-60 (the floor people spam), but after that it should be fairly quick queues.

[mossy wadi]

so.... its like Torneko on PSone?

randomly generated dungeon?

[open coral]

More or less, yes.

The floor 10 bosses are always the same.

[mossy wadi]

oh okay. so there's a name for that sorta thing ....

[open coral]

But the floor layouts are always different every time you go in.

[mossy wadi]

what's up with the guy with dark hair? he's in trailers for the game but I"m not sure who he is?

[open coral]

Which one?

[slate arrow]

Do you mean Derplander?

He's basically our WoL stand in

Because it would be impossible to render every possible player character :p

[mossy wadi]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/Final_Fantasy_XIV_box_art.jpg him

[open coral]

Yeah, that's the Derplander

[shrewd owl]

yeah he's the player stand-in

[mossy wadi]

oh okay

why "derplander"?

[open coral]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Meme

[shrewd owl]

because he looked kinda derpy during the first few trailers

[slate arrow]

He's a hyur highmidlander and he's kinda adorably derpy so as a result the English speaking community just kinda stuck him with Derplander

He probably has other nicknames in other regions we don't know

[shrewd owl]

he's called meteor officially

[mossy wadi]

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=derp

[open coral]

He's called what

[shrewd owl]

meteor survivor lol

he's also a midlander despite his thiccness in the shadowbringers trailer

[mossy wadi]

um okay

Generic-like

I always wondered... the people fighting in the ARR sequence with Bahamut trying to destroy the world, were the models based off 1.0 player characters?

[shrewd owl]

i think they were based off the job concept art

we see some of them in 1.0 trailers

[mossy wadi]

oh. It'd be cool if they were like I suggested....

like "spot my toon in the crowd" or Where's Waldo basically

[slate arrow]

Nah.

[twilit arch]

meteor survivor is his in-house name from the devs

[mossy wadi]

no?

[slate arrow]

It's unlikely we'll ever get actual player characters in cinematics

Unless you use one of the "default" presets

[mossy wadi]

k

... I surived the cataclysm and all I got was this hat...

[limber granite]

Hey all, just joined, having some trouble getting my boyfriend and his room mate into the game. They both created new accounts, and they keep getting the error message that their passwords are incorrect. Went so far as to create an account for my boyfriend and send him the info and he still gets the same error message. When I send him my log in info it still gives him the same error message that the id or password are incorrect. For context, these are brand new accounts, they are in the same house using different computers. I am able to log in to the account I created for him. He has literally copied and pasted the info that I sent him and there are no one time passwords on any of the accounts. Suggestions?

[slate arrow]

If you played in 1.0 though you got your name into the credits for 2.0 though so

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(it's also why the 2.0 credits are almost two hours long combined)

[mossy wadi]

I didn't.

I had two chars but my computer at the time was under spec so I cuold barely paly

oh, wait, they have tatoos o their backs....

I thought there was a waiver to be signed or something to get your name in there.. I missed the boat

[robust crow]

as with all password issues, try resetting it and using a stupidly simple password

just to see if it will let you in

you can change it later

[limber granite]

We have.

[robust crow]

are you sure you are using the right username?

[limber granite]

Yes.

[robust crow]

what site did you create your account on?

[limber granite]

They are on the same network. I am in a different household using my own network.

https://secure.square-enix.com/oauth/oa/oauthlogin%3Fresponse_type%3Dcode%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fsecure.square-enix.com%252Faccount%252Fapp%252Fsvc%252Ftop%253Frequest%253Dmogstation%26client_id%3Dffxiv_mog%26alar%3D1%26lang%3Den-us%26facflg%3D1

[robust crow]

you've tried typing in the password manually right?

[mossy wadi]

are you all using the same version?

[limber granite]

Yes.

@mossy wadi They can't even get in to the website.

[mossy wadi]

just wondering...

wait... can't get into Mog station?

[limber granite]

Nope, but I can.

[mossy wadi]

so all three are PC version or all three Steam or all three PS4?

[slate arrow]

There's not enough info for us to help. I'd recommend going to SE support for this kinda stuff.

[limber granite]

I log out too before they try and log in just in case it is flagging it for suspicious activity for coming from two different IP addresses.

[slate arrow]

SE accounts are stupidly finicky and picky, sometimes

[limber granite]

All PC, they haven't even gotten the game to download yet cause they can't get in to the Mog Station to add their keys.

[mossy wadi]

oh....

hm. I just google "Mog Station" then follow the link provided. If you goto Square Enix membership thingie its different.

[limber granite]

I know that the SqEn account is a different one. That's why I sent them direct link to the Mog Station.

I went so far as to create a whole new e-mail and Mog Station account for my boyfriend and verified it worked on my computer before sending him the info.

[mossy wadi]

sorry, just thinking out loud

[slate arrow]

You need an SE account to access Mogstation

lmao

[mossy wadi]

okay.... so its IP thing?

[limber granite]

@mossy wadi You don't need to apologize, you are helping. I appreciate it.

[mossy wadi]

different locations between you and them?

[limber granite]

That is what I am wondering. I am having them reboot their modem and router now.

Yes. They are in Wisconsin and I am in Arizona.

[mossy wadi]

okay

hmmm. So they signed up? Are they sure they are typing the passwords right?

sometimes I type my password into a random text field.... then cut and paste it into the password thingei so I know I speelled it right.

[limber granite]

Yes. I am wondering if it is an IP issue though since I sent my boyfriend my account info and he still couldn't get in. And my password is not that hard. I watching him type it on screen share.

[mossy wadi]

I hate those darn xxxxx things. I wish there was a way toggle them off for all websites.... i'm sitting here, alone in my room and not some where public with people seeing my screen.

oh, wait. how did they get the codes? Did they create accounts somehow?

[olive inlet]

whats the best way to handle orbs in e10s?

[limber granite]

They bought the codes through steam, but the license numbers are not associated to a Square account yet

[robust crow]

determine group 1 and group 2

[mossy wadi]

i'm gonna try and make an account... see what the steps are.

[robust crow]

the way we did it was we had group 1 take the first set of orbs CCW from north EXCLUDING the north

and group 2 takes the set of orbs CW from north INCLUDING north

[olive inlet]

ooh okok i see

party finder has been doing something like group 1 N/W and group 2 S/E

and if both orbs spawn on 1 side then the other group just adjusts

[limber granite]

@mossy wadi So again thank you for your help. They rebooted both the modem and router and now they are able to get in.

[mossy wadi]

aw. I made a new gmail and new account... 😄

so... they are starting the game and you are experienced with it?

don't forget this..... https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/

[limber granite]

@mossy wadi Indeed. I did just that.

[devout anvil]

Do Lalafell children exist

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

Compared to other races they seem to hit adult height much faster, like their teens or so

At least with the few lalafell kids we see in some holiday events

[devout anvil]

Is this the canon explanation?

[obsidian patio]

Nah, just observation of the few Lalafell kids/teenagers in the game.

Since they’re all like minimum height lalafell

[devout anvil]

Ive seen some sidequests where lalafell "kids" are just regular npcs but wanted to know if this got changed or if we ever seen actual lalafell kids

[obsidian patio]

I don’t think we’ve ever seen any smaller than ones that we can make. At least ones that aren’t literal infants being carried by their mother

Can always try asking in #archived-lore-spoilers

[glacial isle]

Do Plasmoids in Iron Lake only spawn with a FATE or am I looking in the wrong place?

[obsidian patio]

They spawn in a tiny alcove

[glacial isle]

ah found them

[hexed kernel]

Ah, hello, was looking for a good place to ask questions before I buy the game on Steam. It says the bundle is 50% off, I imagine that I buy the bundle and it has the base and DLC all included?

Or is there anything different if I buy them separately?

[obsidian patio]

If it’s the complete edition, then yes.

Are the individual pieces also discounted on steam?

[hexed kernel]

Base game isn't discounted but the DLC is

[desert crag]

if you buy the base game and shadowbringers you will have everything.

[hexed kernel]

Ah ok

[desert crag]

i think on steam the complete edition is a bundle for like £17 or smth atm

[hexed kernel]

And the subscription included is only for a month, afterwards I'll have to renew? What will happen if my account doesn't have subscription for a day or something? Will areas simply be restricted or will I not be able to log in?

[obsidian patio]

Can’t log in at all without subscription

[desert crag]

yeah the sub is for the whole game

the game is defo worth the sub though

[hexed kernel]

Is the game enjoyable without a clan/friend group that already plays? I'm going in completely blind

[desert crag]

yup...

[silver ruin]

assuming you like story based games yes

[whole wasp]

yes, its perfectly fine to go in solo and find whoever in game

[silver ruin]

^

[patent citrus]

subjective :/ tbh i'm not that comfortable blending with too many people

[desert crag]

im playing solo atm have 200 hours and still tryna complete the second DLC so much to do and everyone is always friendly and willing to help a noob

[whole wasp]

thats fine too. you level of interaction with people is strictly up to you

[patent citrus]

yeah single player wise, I really enjoyed it when I was still in free trial..

[hexed kernel]

Ah okay

[patent citrus]

but some people would prefer to be in an FC with 300++ people

or they'll feel lonely

[silver ruin]

yea raelly depends, ive seen free trial players post on reddit about having everything possible maxed to the free trial cap and they clearly enjoyed it, but other people dont like social limitations

its really what you make of it

[mossy wadi]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/312060/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Free_Trial/ @hexed kernel

I forget what the restrictions are...

[shrewd sedge]

300k gil cap, no marketboard, limited chat, not being able to join free companies

[mossy wadi]

This is a free trial version of the game that will allow you to play free as your favorite FINAL FANTASY class up to level 60.
If you wish to continue beyond level 60, please purchase the full version of the game on Steam. Several game features are restricted for the Free Trial.

[silver ruin]

^ cant make parties, cant trade either

[obsidian patio]

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details
Download

[patent citrus]

you can go to #kupo-bot-spam and type yeah

that

[obsidian patio]

Has all the limits in the first link

[mossy wadi]

@hexed kernel okay, keep in mind you can register to play on seperate devices BUT each license for a new device costs you money.

Steam / PC regular / PS4

[hexed kernel]

Ah, so for example if I switch computers, I'd have to buy two licenses?

[silver ruin]

no

[mossy wadi]

? are we on mac, too?

no

[silver ruin]

yea mac license is a thing

diff computers are fine

but like

if you wanted to move from pc>ps4

[hexed kernel]

Oh I see

[silver ruin]

you'd have to buy a license for ps4

[mossy wadi]

Steam client is sepeate from the PC client

[silver ruin]

^ if you buy from steam, you have to buy ALL future expansiosn from steam

[hexed kernel]

Is there any difference between Steam and the client?

[mossy wadi]

so... lolz, it takes up twice the space if you have both.

[silver ruin]

no, just locks you into a way of buying expansions
