upon opening the lvl 70 weapon coffer it says that it contains gear unequippable by your current class/job. but when i hover over it in my inventory it claims that the weapon type is determined by current job or class at time of opening. Why does it not work?
Tokens are the currency I get at the tribes, right?
What’s the exact coffer and what job are you?
I am a samurai and its just a regular level 70 weapon coffer
Tokens are more of a general term. In this context it’s the item you’re needing the FC3 demimateria for
sam doesn't have a weapon for the coffer to give
sam doesn't have a weapon for the coffer to give
great, thxs
its not a level 70 weapon, its an item level 70 weapon
hmm alright thanks
The equip level is 50
ohhh makes sense
Do I need a minimum desynt skill to get more chances? I haven't done desynth more than 10 times in all the game
Having a high level gives you better odds of FC3, so indirectly yes
but with almost 0 lvl, do I still have any real chances of getting it?
I don’t think it works like a scale, more of a binary “you’ll get it at a low rate”/“you’ll get it at a higher rate” once you’re over the listed amount
The slow and easy way of leveling up desynth is to greed on tons of dungeon equipment and to desynth all of it
Gets up all of them but ALC/CUL for the most part
haha, great, I have TONS of it and didnt know what to do with them
haha, lol, those are the only 2 crafters I'm not leveling
Someone wrote here 5 minutes ago that desynth bridesmaid items that an NPC sells near Uldah aetherite can give me Fieldcraft Demimateria III too.
Are the chances higher than desynth artisians gear?
Who's the NPC who sells them? I can't find him/her.
From my personal testing, they felt pretty equal
The bridesmaid stuff is from the vendor closest to the big aetheryte
Artisan comes from grand company or the guy you’re trying to get the master craft 2 books from
the closest vendor are rowena representative and grand company from uldah
The one past that, lemme get a pic
thxs
👍
thanks for everything guys, I've been asking here for hours each week since I started 3 months ago, without all your help, I couldn't be enjoying the game
Alexander raids were in stormblood right
Heavensward
HW, omega is stormblood
I'm leveling a Gunbreaker at level 60, i have full shire gear. Should i full pull all mobs when i run dungeons?
Dungeons for my level that is
Always pull at least 2 packs. More if you're feeling comfortable
You have plenty of cooldowns to mass pull basically any dungeon post like 50
I mean, im fine to pull loads. I'm more concerned about how squishy i may be
Right
Use your defensives
Yeah
the extra exp for loging out in cities is for mobs I kill inside dungeons too?
Yes
also for bosses in main scenario roulette?
Thanks. Last time i played was in 5.1 leveling a WAR from 70-80 and often i would die in mass pulls
And i wasn't missing CDs
Is there anywhere to see like class payrates and stuff ? Like job popularity ?
Just a case of the healing not keeping up?
Healer was a monkey
And by often i mean.....sometimes lul
Post Nascent flash, warrior never dies
You just Nascent > Chaotic cyclone for Lul full hp
Cool, so ill blame the healers if i die leveling this Gunbreaker 😄
You can also blame the DPS If they're trash and killing things slowly
Mass pulls are a team effort
Cool, just came back to the game after quite some time off. Wanna tank but abit of anxiety
Thanks for the answers
Only unofficial censuses and stuff, which are generally incredibly inaccurate with how they measure stuff
That's still something. Where can I find that ?
FFXIVcensus and probably another one out there
If my high lvl job is a HoH job, can I still unlock the level-gated jobs like dancer, machinist, drk and such ?
Heavensward jobs require story progress to heavensward but otherwise yes
gunbreaker doesn't have msq requirements
you just need to be lvl 60 and own shadowbringers

"a disciple of war or magic job at level 60" ah shit
saw it coming tho
On another note entirely : I've found an FC I'd like to join on some discord, how do I apply ingame ?
You need to be on the same server, but as long as you meet that requirement, you can either search them up on the Lodestone and submit an application there, or find someone who is part of that FC and ask them for an invitation.
If they have a house you can also apply at the house’s placard
^
good call
Once you hit 40, which beast tribes are worth doing? It's not clear to me which are for battle leveling and which are for crafters.
All but ixal are combat
IMO the Amaljaa and Sahagin have the least annoying dailies
Perfect, thanks
Is the game down? I thought the forums where getting the maintenence.
Where can I sell allagan gold pieces?
@leaden ginkgo at any of the shops
Thanks
can i buy triple triad stuff off the auction house
I think it's triangle you have to press, it says on the bottom of the shop after you click the option to buy things
Game isn’t down
@obsidian patio ty, must be my wifi then, although I'm not having issues otherwise.
@cold crescent all cards are untradeable
Is there a certain point in the story I need to progress to in order to use level and story skips?
so, i cant teleport to my fc house on my alt but i have teleport unlocked, there is a house, but its not showing up on my teleport list
is there a way to fix that
past the first msq
Thanks
is there any way to increase the odds of "rare" things appearing on nodes? Like seeds?
I'm buying to game again on a different PSN, do I need a new Square Enix account?
do other members have ability to teleport to it?
nevermind, the dude who sold it to me didnt stick an aetheryte there
i'm almost certain it's not because you haven't unlocked the ward
ah
that'd do it lol
thats exactly why :D the alt is lv 2
!action luck of the mountaineer
Need to gather 3 HQ items in a row to use it, though
Which you can only easily do at 63
!action unearth iii
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.
ohh I just need to do my level 55 quest lmao
ahh
for some lower level nodes I should already be able to do that
thanks!
Can there be two different PSN accounts connected a Mogstation account?
Nope
Hey uhh, I'm kind of new and the Novice Chat doesn't really help, at least for me. I'm going on a White Mage right now, just grabbed the WHM Soul Crystal, but my questions are:
I'm level 33, if I switch to CNJ or WHM the level stays the same, so I assumed WHM is basically the continuation of CNJ. Now, there are no WHM quests that I can find to actually advance through the class so I was wondering if they will appear or if I have to find them in specific places (Can't find locations on the internet either, and the quest information that I see doesn't say the level or more details, just that it's a quest for WHM).
Also, what Tank class would be recommendable for me to start? I want to start a Tank class together with the WHM to have some resistance for solo levelling, what should I go for?
WHM quests will appear in the top left of the screen underneath the MSQ every time you reach the level at which the next one unlocks, just like CNJ
as for what tank job, there's only two for you to pick at that level, and they're both easy
What item can I desynth to get fieldcraft demimateria I and battlecraft demimateria I
I know, it's to change classes while solo levelling and going through my quests, that's all
the only command i know only works when you macro actions
It's realy obnoxious to only be able to cast STONE
you won't get much difference early on as tank
you'll be pressing 3-4 buttons as opposed to 1-2 for a while
early tank is just fast blade>riot blade>repeat
past 60-70 it gets more varied when they get actual burst phases
but until then, yeah, it's just the 1 2 3 combo 90% of the time
Still better than staying still and casting stone and cure when I'm about to die because I'm literally paper on solo level instances
fair
So, what class should I go for?
if you are paper, you need new armor
You mentioned the skills and the word Tank but there's no class named Tank, obviously.

GLA/MRD
The level 1 tank classes are Marauder (Warrior) and Gladiator (Paladin)
Can you level classes through NG+?
no
No
Thanks, I will go Marauder then
Aww
Or, nah I'll just go Gladiator, seems cooler
But anyway, thanks for answering my questions
Imagine if you had unlimited access to MSQ exp
GLD/PLD is your typical "sword and board" holy-themed tank
MRD/WAR is giant axe berserker type
I think it matches my vibe, I like being a healer and If I'm going something apart from that I'd like to have the same vibe
So a Paladin is my kind of class I guess
Who sells Masterbooks III
either mor dhona or idyllshire
How do you change data centers?
Well paladin doesn't actively use its heal unless your healer is literally afk
As a WHM main, addressing your concern about being "paper" in early play - once you hit level 35 and get your chocobo as a combat companion, it's much nicer to play a healer in the open world.
pay for a transfer
I've searched every vendor on both and no one sells them
Actually that's what I noticed
Having the Chocobo fight alongside with me is REALLY helpful
Do you have to pay everytime? I swear i had a friend who switched his character from EU to NA for free
I can just make it tank
Nah, don't spec your chocobo tank first.
Or even if it's not tanking, the extra damage really helps
Transferring from a CONGESTED server to PREFERRED is free
spec choco as healer first
Really? How should I spec it then
Even as a healer, you always spec it as healer first. Their ability to grab aggro is kind of shit.
Otherwise you pay money
Ok i see
oooh
Healer chocobo covers all sustain so you can dps
How do I reset SP points for companions? 
Once it hits rank 10 you'll be able to continue ranking it up by feeding it an item called Thavnarian Onion to let it overcap up to rank 20.
Reagan pepper
So ultimately you can spec it to all three.
Can buy from your grand company when you rank high enough
also you get a free set of chocobo armor if you get to rank 10 in any chocobo action tree
So im new to healing and not that good with the role skills however I am enjoying healing.
I would like to test out the Astrologion should I wait to max my scholar before trying Astro?
go ahead and try astro
Also, am I the only one that got teary with Gridania music? Every time I hear that nostalgic nature vibe I get so melancholic and it feels really nice.
You can pick up AST if you want. Aside from weapons, you can simply reuse the same gear you used while leveling SCH.
I see. Thanks!
Btw how many jobs can you have? Like, carpenter and that, is there a limit?
All of them
all
You can be all jobs on a single character
go ahead and try them all out
I don't mean like the classes, I think I heard it's possible to have every single class soul crystal, I mean like: Leatherworker, Weaver, etc. Can I also have them all?
Yes
Bruh
Those also count as jobs (although they're referred to as professions)
That's cool
Just to be sure. Scholar is the best method to level up summoner, right?
yes
Scholar, as a healer, can get faster dungeon queue
It's "best" only in the sense that as a healer you'll tend to have shorter dungeon queues.
Oh yeah I forgot, the word Jobs is meant for the classes in the FF/BD/etc. RPG world
Sorry, my mistake
If you don't want to play scholar at all, just grinding it out a summoner is fine
What's Scholar
(protip: dont level 2 battle classes at once from msq, you will spend like quadruple the time)
It is a healer
I already finished msq btw
what? it's perfectly fine to level two DoW using MSQ
MSQ gives way more exp than you need for 1 class, supplemented with dailies and you'll be able to keep up two or three classes with MSQ all the way to 80
is praetorium around 35 minutes?
the cutscenes alone are like 29 minutes (someone timed it)
you should plan for 40-50 mins
i'm usually able to finish one episode of anime and be most of the way through the 2nd one
1 hour long
its fine to do it
It's illegal
but i recommend u go into praetorium with 4 other people who know what they are doing
square enix does not condone doing this action
really?
they do not
i was in prae, and 4 people consistently skipped the cutscene and they just killed the bosses while everyone else was still in cutscene
You can change the dub to make gaius scene shorter, but if you do that glitch you can get banned
so that's why i know you can skip every cutscene
They made prae cutscenes unskipabble for a reason
It is not like msq roulette is the only way to gain exp
@faint flare really, cuz i tried the method they told me to do
msq dungeon just shouldn't exist
Yes
does that mean i can get banned?
You're not meant to be able to skip them
If people report you for it, yes.
shit
most people aren't going to report you for it
sprouts barely know how to walk to the next boss they wouldn't report you don't worry
but don't go around telling people to do it
if someone exploits for you just take the lemons and quietly leave
how do i know if someone reported me?
well you're not banned
would i get a notification?
i assume
You'll have a GM on your ass
so try to keep it that way
Whenever a GM talks to you/you spawn in The jail
Sup, I need ilvl 142 for the final dungeon in Heavensward but atm im 131
Just to know.
Could you be reported if you lost your internet connection for a moments and you log in when it returns, but wait for the scene to finish for everyone else?
What's the best way of getting 142?
Do your job quests
has your story been rewarding you with gear?
You get gear
or that too, your job quests
You get i200 gear from your job quests
Oh I think I didn't do the lvl60 one ye
Always do your job quests like immediately
Cheers
That happened to me one time on castrum
Is there anywhere i can see the population of worlds on the crystal data server? not trying to make a character on a dead world lol
What's the flight unit mount called?
is it considered an exploit if you instead of riding the magitek armor in praetorium, do the shortcut instead?
No servers are dead
The gumdum mount? Gabriel
It is not an exploit
It is just being a bad teammate
Assuming you meant waiting for people to do the heavy lifting in exploring the dungeon, then you use the in-dungeon teleporter to get to the boss room
ive seen players get to the wall where you supposed to blast with the magitek cannon before the magitek moutns arrive
Oh, I kept looking for stuff related to the nier alliance series since I kept thinking it looked like a flight suit from there
i assume they did a shortcut
You just walk back
Thanks
Praetorium is a disaster anyways
castrum merdianium is even more disaster
at least praetorium is fairly straightforward and linear
i have no idiea what to do with castrum meridianum
there's this one part in castrum where cid has to blast something for you
i never know how to trigger that
Cid has to walk there himself
Praetorium needs a rework
i remember reading here someone said SE was planning to get rid of MSQ roulette all together
That would suck
They mentioned and bounced ideas around Changes that could be made
We'll see next expansion what they'll do with it, if anything
I hope prae gets reworked
Technically one of them can be broken down into single player instance + a trial
I agree with that as someone who recently started the game
My first time there was one of the worst experiences i had with this game
Would like to see it moved to a trust system
Regardless, this is more of a discussion topic
Thats one idea they bounced
Than a question/help topic
My FC is slowly going complete lalafell, how can I save them from it and show them the light?
What's the quest for unlocking Idlyshire house of splendors? I think I've started it (the guy in mordhona sent me to foundation) but I cant identify the quest in my journal, and Idlyshire house of splendors isnt available for me yet.
wiki says
Players must complete the quest Inscrutable Tastes by talking to Morgayne in Foundation (x10,y10), and Go West, Craftsman by talking to Lydirlona in Mor Dhona (x22, y6). Players must have completed The Better Half previously.
Unlocking The Splendors Exchange will add another entry to your Timers list named "Rowena's House of Splendors". This is set to "reset" daily at 20:00 (8:00 PM) UTC, and your local TZ reset time can be found in the window.
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Splendors_Exchange
i think thats it
Yes, I think its Go West, Craftsman, I started it, but it isnt in my journal, and Im sure I didnt finished it
Some of my items have a green background. I read somewhere that they are sellable to my great company (adders) for tokens or something. Where do I sell them to get these tokens?
no, its not that, Lydirlona initially gave 3 quests, I started 1 of them , and havent finished it yet, but i dont know where it is
It's Expert Delivery, and you have to be a certain rank in the GC to do it
Oh, its the quest Beloved of the Builder, I se I already completed it, but what did I unlock with it?
is it possible to turn off a specific hotbar only on specific classes?
You could make a gear set swap macro with a Hotbar hide/show attached to it. Or have a unshared hotbar and put stuff on it on ome job and turn off unused slots, which will then hide that hotbar on other jobs since you have nothing on it

hello guys, new player to FF14 online and im just trying to get a good grasp before I start of what are good classes or needed classes for endgame, I know its early but I would like ot know what are good classes to pick, i dont really care what type it is, just something thats useful for endgame or classes that are mostly looked for parties at endgame? Thanks!
all jobs are good
that's the thing about this game
what matters more is what you find fun
hmm thats interesting, not normal in other mmos haha, is there any job that is kinda of a healer/dps? or healer is strictly support?
there's no proper support jobs
every job in this game is a dps anyway
they are either a healer or a DPS
healers are green dps
tanks are blue dps
dps are dps
some classes like red mage have additional utility (like easy battle rezzes) that can be considered support
but they are primarily a DPS
and are treated like a DPS
okay that was mostly the question, its just in TRee of savior i used to play DPS/healer, which was one of the best dps and healers at the same time, but okay every class is strictly for one purpose
Bard and dancer are support-y jobs
bard and dancer are still treated like DPS
yeah
Yeah, but in effect
but a good portion of bard/dancer DPS does come from giving out raid buffs
okay so ill go with a tank i guess, or tanks arent very useful later on as everyone is geared up
?
crazy what a 1% dmg buff can do
every class is good
every job is useful in some way
period
yeah
every job is good if you put the time in
ok ok, im guessing tank is also a slower class to build like any other mmo because of the low dmg?
no
no
all jobs level at the same speed
really? thats nice
Tanks have really good dmg actually
You can do all the content regardless of class
Compared to other MMOs
tanks and healers generally do about 40-60% of the DPS that a pure DPS will do
I finally made it to idyllshire I should use my poetics to purchase the shire set right? I’m level 65 and currently working with the Ironworks set
so you are expected to be doing as much damage as possible regardless of what class or job you are playing
like I'd rather do the MSQ with marauder than thaumaturge, at least I don't die lmao
nah it's more like, 60-75% at least imo
no it's definitely 40-60%, it's only 60% if your DPS are bad
nice nice, well i guess ill do a tank or healer
also unlike other mmos, healers are expected to do dmg here
okay okay
ESO healers are kinda like that so good stuff, ill do one of those 2
tanks and healers are doing about 12-13k DPS
a strong DPS is doing about 20k
so exactly 40-60%
hm
healers and tanks are likely to drop in damage if they need to do other stuff i.e. heal or mitigate
what ilvl is that?
this is for the top 5% of all savage parses
huh I thought warrior and whm would be higher
welll thanks for all the answers guys
ill start up the game and get on playing
on the far right column you can see how popular classes are
white mage is by far the most popular class
bard is the least popular
note this is for END GAME RAIDING
it does not reflect 99% of the rest of the game
is the healer bard? or there are multiple healers
Do note that ffxiv works on a fixed comp of 2/2/4
yeah, that is a good point
the healer and tank numbers are going to be inflated as a result
So because white mage is just Stupid Good at being a healer it's usually one of the two healers in ffxiv raids
Scholar and Astro both just aren't as easy to play well because they're more active
Scholar especially
here's how the top level looks like for only healers
is this rdps?
I think astrologian benefit from getting those ranged card all the time 👀
although it's just a guess
That's like a... What 2 percent difference?
i usually look also at guides for leveling, class, etc.. should I do it on this game or nah? i kinda wanted to go in blind but then again can you fix up mistakes easily?
Is it 2 percent give or take?
it's impossible to make mistakes in ff14
there's no real guides for levelling needed
just follow your story
first job, just do your story. it'll give you enough xp
alt jobs, just spam dungeons and roulettes.
Try to get into a preferred server
@crimson gale just to be sure we are on the same page, XIV doesn't have stat growth
that too
you'll get double xp on nearly everything it's bonkers
So, if you level say, a Mage for a long time, it won't skew your magic stat
And make your character unviable as a tank
All stat comes from your equipment
Yeah, your character gain no stats
oaky just level then
Leveling up give them new skills and let them wear better gear
ok ok
also if I do a trial account, can I later upgrade it to complete edition? wanna try it out just to check it out
There is no way to make permanent mistake
but seems like fun
yes
Yes you can go free trial
gonna see till like level 20-30 if i like it ill just upgrade to full
Just take note that free trial has social and inventory limitations, everything else are fully available to you
there's almost no reason to upgrade at level 30
^
since you can get up to 60 for free
you can go all the way to 60
Play until lvl 55-56 story
And that's basically 100 hours of playtime
okay
then ill just do story till 55-6 like u said then ill see
I upgraded at like lvl 40 because I wanted access to the social features and more inventory
Your character level is not your story level, btw
you will know if you like the game at the end of ARR tbf
This perfectly fine, you played enough to know that you want to commit to this
note that the free trial restricts social features
ARR?
so you can't join a guild or invite people to parties
A Realm Reborn
that's the main reason to consider just upgrading from the free trial
ARR is A Realm Reborn, it is the lvl 1-50 story contents
well do i really need to party up for story?
No
Nope
Almost everything can be match made
How can I get Near Eastern Antique Component Materials? Do I need a lvl 60 gatherer to get them? Or is there any other way?
You can use party finder for that
So it's not a problem
The only thing that will be hard it's if you wanna play with a friend
okay, yeah ill just play that for the time being, if i enjoy ill just buy its no biggie
im playing solo
How long will exa gear last me?
Isn't that the thing you buy from NPC to make custom delivery turn in?
so its all good i guess
Yeah! Have fun 🙂
okay thanks again guys, really helped
Oh, I'll search for that npc, it's close to Zhloe, right?
Just remember one thing!
@crimson gale just while we are at this, starting race has negligible stat difference
so dont really matters what race?
So pick race based on personal taste
okay
Have fun
ty 😄
Most people think 1-50 is bad, I thought it was comfy and cool. The game is probably a bit boring until level 20, then it picks up a bit but it's kinda slow until level 50
Should be, Khell
I really suggest you play trough it if you're unsure
I started playing couple of weeks ago and really wanted to quit during parts of the initial storyline ahaha
But i'm glad I didn't 🙂
yeah did read something like that but all mmos are braindead first 20-40 levels
picks up later
So keep that in mind!
so ill endure lol
i think it was white mage or something like that? the healer
white mage (conjurer) only has 3 damage buttons for their entire leveling rotation
or tank
so you are going to spam 1 button like....literally over 10000 times
What other mmos did you play?
of course WHM is much more fun in dungeons where they have to actually heal
but when you're leveling get used to spamming 1 button
WHM has five (total) damaging abilities.
Nah tanks have a lot of attack buttons. WAR at least. I haven't played the others yet.
ESO, Tree of savior, ragnarok, tales of pirates, aura kingdom, and a couple others cant remember now
one is a DoT, two are on long cooldowns and don't unlock until late in the game, one's a spammable AOE and the other is a spammable ST
Tank has more damage skills compared to healers, but their skill rotation are simpler compared to DPS
so realistically you have two damage buttons 90% of the time
Holy 
Warrior, afaict, has the lowest effective button count, among the tank
what are the prefered classes for tank?
There are three of them and only two you can do before level 50
It's all about flavour
so shouldn't be a problem
four *
okay okay
Oh right ye
Don't forget the gunbreakers >:c
in endgame popularity paladin is the most popular
Jeez isn't WAR supposed to be the high damage one...
damage wise, gunbreaker does the most, with paladin 2nd
WAR is a lot of self healing.
note that the difference is literally less than 500 DPS
(with gunbreaker)
Is there HQ version of Near Eastern Antique Component Materials ?
I mean, tanks aren't supposed to do damage :^)
it's very small
No, Khell
popularity right now goes PLD > DRK > GNB > WAR
Tell that to my needle-sized axe
hmmm i do personally like tanks too
Wow WAR is that low ?
but don't let popularity skew your preference
play whatever tank looks the coolest to you
nah nah i dont care about popularity
I mean I like going against the meta so that's cool
its between tank or healer, i like playing "support"
there isn't a meta
If you like tanks I would recommend playing whatever DPS you want until level 50 and then get a tank in Heavensward

But thats just my personal preference
this video is pinned
but I linked it here anyway
i suggest giving that video a watch
but for heavensward u need complete edition no? so just paly any dps and then switch
no
No!
heavensward is in the trial
Heavensward is included in the trial
good, just play what you like the most ^.^
people usually just choose aesthetically wise
I like all of the tanks, they are all fun to me
Mostly cause to me DPS feel more fun to play at lower levels and in HW you can switch to a tank without loosing too much levels
What's the Collectability number used for that appears while crafting?
it's quality hehe
But as others have said play whatever you like most
it affects how I can craft it?
hmmmm thats tempting
will it not be too late at level 50 to get good gear for tank or not really?
the higher the quality, the higher chance you get the highest rewards
good gear comes in way later?
you easily get gear during quests and vendors
never too late, play any role/class and switch when you want it
Anyone got the binding coil trophy on the PS4 version ? What do I need to do to get it? Go through all bahamut coils?
the game pretty much gives you gear
Is it me or are actions liks addle or feint absolutely useless ?
you don't have to worry about gear until max level
It’s impossible to find a party for coil though
They are situational, Ape
please do not ever say that lmao
Ah, OK, so instead that have quality affect if its HQ or not, in collectables, Quality affect the Collectability, right ?
addle and feint are very strong
feint is for physical tank buster usually and addle usually for magical tank buster
Yes, Khell
thxs
particularly in savage raiding, but can be useful in other content
huh, ok
addle mitigates almost every raidwide in the game
feint helps mitigate auto attacks and most tankbusters
it's a way for your DPS to help with not getting the raid killed
although if you aren't doing savage or EX encounters then it's not like people were going to die anyway tbh
feint in particular is strong in our current savage tier, it mitigates the bleed from e11s
also for tank, as i saw someone say magical tank or phys tank, can you make a tank for all content with lets say 1 good gear set? or you will have to switch it up? Same question for like White mage, im guessing healer doesnt have to switch gear that much?
addle's always been strong
every class has 1 gear set, maybe two
gear is mostly class locked
you don't have to build a magic def set or whatever
magical and physical resistance on gear is not a thing
healers specifically have options in how they want to gear
okay okay good to know
oh wait i misunderstood the question nvm
you either gear for max damage or you gear for max damage + a little extra MP regen
some healers also have the option to gear for spell speed
the only things that function like that for tanks is shit like drk Dark Mind which is a personal magic mitigation
in other mmos, u need certain gear for certain dungeons etc depending on the dmg the mobs have
none of that in ff14
was wondering if that would happen here but seems like no
where can I get people for POTD I wanna just get glam shit like kinna gear
Is the max Collectability always 10% of the max Quality ?
99% of all players are going to use 1 gear set only
for each class they play
some of the top 1% sweaty tryhards might use specific gear pieces to hunt a certain stat
okay well off i go to start up the game! Thanks for all the help peeps, really nice community
Yep
like I used two caster sets last tier, one for spell speed and one for crit
oh last question, recommended server for EU anybody know?
whichever server is preferred
pick that one
preferred servers give you double EXP bonus up to level 70 for every class
char carries along all servs in region?
in ff14 we have datacenters and servers
anyone on the same datacenter can play together
Chaos and Light are the data centers.
So pick a server in one of those groups.
!preferred chaos
where other MMOs simply have regions and then worlds, FF14 has multiple 'datacenters' per region
but you can only join guilds on your server
which contain worlds
!preferred light
too many cooks again
i'm dropping out
alrightt
I want to point out of Preferred world is good to leveling multiple classes on one character, because of the exp boost
So pick lich, zodiark or omega server
That's the only reason to go preferred
guess its omega then
While we are at this, you need to complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class
To unlock gearset
Which allows you to switch to different classes
Then you can visit guilds to unlock new classes
in the screen with Zhloe's face, whats the meaning of the 3 numbers under "Collectability", the first one is the same that's next to the item , but the other 2?
Also, the collectability rose to more than 500, why is it there 55?
Whatever float your boats, Nemie
i'd suggest picking two or three classes nemie
Preferred world has exp boost, which makes it very comfy to juggle multiple classes at the same level as your story
the story gives you enough exp to keep them all around the same level, provided you do your dailies
@wheat plume take a screenshot
okay okay, i guess ill start out with healer and tank
which is really just your daily dungeon once per day really
dont really wanna go too many
guys I just got the Chausses of Lost Antiquity and it barred me from rolling again on other loot (eden's promise: umbra)
that's normal
but I was trying to get the weapon and didn't realize I needed to roll on only one a week
Yeah, that's how it works
the weapon is automatic
ohh
it drops for everyone
What they said
the weapon will also cost you 1000 revelations
and you need 7 of those tokens
which is a significant investment
What are the 219 and 382?
Also, the item rose to more than 500 while crafting, why is it there a 55?
okay okay I was thinking that I needed to drop the chausses to be able to get the weapon ... thanks tho
Thanks for clarification
That's the reward tier, Khell
55 is the bare minimum
zhloe is asking for certain levels of collectability
yeah
55 is the min collectability, you get higher rewards at 219 and 382 (382 being max rewards)
if you reach a certain collectability, your rewards will increase
If you turn in a Near Eastern at 230 collectible rating, then you get the reward from 219
once you hit 382 you can just finish the craft, no need to increase it any further
the 6 turns in per week can be all crafted and by the same class?
yes
Yeah
you can also change class after crafting it and turn it in as the other class
for exp
Arrange/distribute them however you see fit
people said there are 12 per week, how can I get the other 6? Or is it from another npc post HW ?
not for HW, no
from SB or ShB ?
Zhloe is what you have for now
all the other custom delivery npcs are in sb and shb
Hello everyone, I'd like to ask some stuff about Free companies/Guilds
that said there is a second delivery npc in idyllshire, but he requires sb side quest to unlock
Ask away, Kay
I'm super new to the game, but I opened one and invited all my friends in, I was wondering what the best way to recruit without being... annoying is, and how to get the guild estate or whatever thats called
well "opened" my friend had one, invited me and gave me owner
I bought a level skip and a story skip, where do I find those?
on a delivery moogle
They're on the main cities iirc
Thanks

Why is there an icon with moon shape at the end of exp bar?
that means you are in a location that gives you rested exp
great, thxs
is there a way to know how a your edited character appearance is going to look with your items without using a fantasia first?
use a retainer fantasia and set their appearance to your pre-set configuration
or make a new alt and have a friend link your items to you
so there only are workarounds
They're the best ways, retainer fantasia is cheap and market boardable
yeah but I think you would need to level your retainer and make it have the classes leveled
Well usually one retainer is your "main" job
Or just make alt and go to the market board/have friends/people link stuff
if you dont edit anything on your character the fantasia doesnt return right?
but you have it on your inventory or does it stay like consumed but waiting to be used?
It says consumed as an item but retains the option to change
People usually have a fantasia waiting for ages
hmm
sry for stupid question, read all the main class descriptions but cant really understand which one is healer, im guessing gladiator is tank cuz it says sword & shield but the healer idk if i didnt read properly but cant really guess lol, is it conjurer?
or arcanist?
i know its geared based but which is the starting one?
Conjurer turns into white mage
^ thanks
open your character profile and sellect classes/job ^.^
Arcanist turns into summoner, which is dps, and also scholer, the other healer
im at char creator still vielen, but what eternal doom said is my answer haha
ah my bad
thanks tho 😄
yeah, arcanist isn't a bad start, you can level 2 classes at the same time ^.^
you'll get scholar and summoner at the same time as lv 30
naisu
like supporting
Just a heads-up, you won't be able to grab an alternate class until you get the one you started with through level 15 of the main story
When did it change that trial accounts can't join FCs anymore?
Since forever afaik
Huh, my friend must have mixed up and thought he was a trial when he wasn't.
Trial and the free days you get when buying are completely different
Does "spells aspected to other elements can't be used" mean I'm free to use unaspected and physical damage?
In what terms
All skills have a damage type
Not that it super matters outside of Eureka/bojza, Black mage, BLU libras and rdm embolden
For a carnivale challenge, I have to clear Mastery of Fire
which means I can't use spells aspected to another element than fire. I'm assuming unaspected is fair game, but hb physical?
Physical spells without an element should be fine
Though it’s been a long while since I’ve done Carnivale
Quick WHM question, what is a good Spell Speed total to aim for? Leftover slots on my relic weap and deciding between SpS and Piety
Physical wasn't an issue, thanks!
Spell speed isn't prioritised
should I slap on Piety then or a different stat entirely?
Throw Det or DH onto it
Then DH
remember that healer gear doesn't come with DH
I always forget I can meld things it doesnt show facepalm
so all of your DH has to come from melds
BiS GCD are like around 2.37s ish but this tier has a good chunk of speed on it by default
thanks!
They’re always right side up
You can use the Novice Network even if you are a trial player, right?
Yes
huh. Then my current map has me quite stumped
Post the image here?
X16, y35
I think there's also a website that helps you find the treasure maps, since I think there's only ever a fixed set of locations for the treasure boxes
where can i spend my heavensturn tickets?
Interactive maps for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, Stormblood and Heavensward. Hunt monsters / Vistas / Mining / Botany / Fishing / Aether currents / Treasure maps
Are there any mentors here in (Elemental - Typhon)? Asking for an invite to the novice network.
there's a vendor near the guy who gives out the quests
let's meet up at ul'dah?
i can login real quick
still stuck at gridania....😅
ah ok i'll come
ok see you there ^.^
Thank you very much!
can we use main menu icons for macro icons?
pleasure ^.^
try "/? micon" 🤔
you'll see a lot of category to try there
never tried myself
how again?

how many quest-able beast tribe in SB? I got the Kojin and the Anata.
The Namazu would be the last of the three
But they're focused on crafting and gathering iirc
is this in-game or here in discord?
There aren't any main menu micons afaik
in-game
is there an album of every micons out there tho?
Once you get the 300 poetics from the main story duty finder is there another way to get poetics fast?
!faq poetics
Thanks!
Go unlock other lv50 dungeons...you got access to a tom of new content via blue quests
You'll get first time bonus poetics in those instances
Also do the Crystal Tower Alliance raid.
That's worth another 100 per run + the first time bonus.
But you get 600 from doing the two MSQ instances, not 300.
Oh cool. I guess it back to MSQ then I got my full shire armor set at least
Can’t afford accessories though
Doing MSQ roulette will give you 500-600 for your first run of the day every day.
At the cost of 35-45 minutes of your time, of course.
300 bonus + 200 base.
I see.
- another 100 if there's a first timer
Roulette are bonuses ontop of what the instance gives normally
Cool I’ll make a note of that
With the exception of Leveling and Trial roulettes, you get a bonus quantity of poetics from all roulettes the first time you run them per day.
On top of whatever the baseline number for the instance is.
Btw when does the day reset?
!daily
Cool! Thx for your help.
Probably a silly question but I should be doing all of the things in the duty roulette daily correct?
if you want experience points and tomes
but I usually just do a few "important" ones and ignore the rest
I see. Thanks.
before lv80 I did leveling roulette at least once a day
for the experience point bonus
and also alliance raid roulette
Awesome I’ll do that
Hi! This is saying that I have one of this items on my retainer, but when I go check his inventory, it’s not there, where can y find it?
i'm trying to understand what the 5.4 monk buffs/changes were. Is my goal in rotations the same still with keep up twin buff and dot?
The GCD rotation didn't really change much
Opener adjusted slightly to start with dragon kick but otherwise the same
Keep twin and demolish up. Cycle through stances, punch shit
So I did puppet's bunker as PLD and one thing I had trouble with was PoA the line stack marker because people keep moving until the last 1-2 secs
Now I popped it in time both times
It just didn't feel good to be so close to wasting it both times
Is this normal, or do you assert dominance as the PLD and dictate people gather up inside your PoA wherever it's most reasonably convenient to drop it after minimal movement; maybe a hop + 180 flip?
There's not really a need to use PoA on the line stack in PB
The damage is so minimal unless another alliance also shoots you.
A pair of halfway decent healers can clear the damage in 1 gcd or less.
does this have any change or bearing on what happens next in the story?
No
Honestly I feel like PoA is the PLD version of C3. It's situationally very strong, but those situations require the entire party to be stacked.
no the second option delays what will happen (cutscene)
It's basically just "do you want to start the scenario or not" @halcyon radish
really?
that's what I thought
i was just worried maybe if I didn't pick the bottom one I'd miss something.
Nah
It's literally just asking if you're ready to continue the MSQ. You can't actually miss any content in this game.
there's one sidequest where picking the wrong option will cause the quest to be failed (and have to restart it) but that's the only exception
All dialogue choices are either Fluff or "are you ready to go on"
okidoki
There's a few tiny expections you need to pick the right options but those happen in First person most the time

hi i have a question
o/
i am having an issue progressing in the msq. my requirements to accept the next quest (Good Intentions from Minfilia) are to do these subquests: Ifrit Bleeds We Can Kill It, In for Garuda Awakening, In a Titan Spot, however the people that the wiki says to accept the quest from are not offering them in-game.

They're part of a quest chain
That starts with A Recurring problem
From Minifilla in the waking sands
ty love u
Is there a shortcut to most stuff between inventories? Like inventory to retainer instead of right click entrust?
when does maintenance start?
I'm having a bit of trouble getting my PS4 controller getting rexognized as one on my PC client, any tips on fixing it?
Lodestone posts will say when maintenances starr
hey in potd does aetherpool cap after 51+?
trying to farm aetherpool, not sure if i should just focus 51-60
IIRC It does sync aetherpool for 51-60, though I can’t remember as mine is at 99/99 and I can’t test due to having a floor 100+ group
If I had to make a safe assumption it probably syncs somewhere in the 50-60’s
thanks!
For the ARR relic, specifically the zodiac braves step, when you have to obtain items from completing dungeons, do you have to do it with the job and weapon that you intend to upgrade?
Yes
Thanks!
NP
It goes for all of them
You can however unsync the dungeons to make it go faster
Anyone knows which one are "high level duties" that count towards the achievement?
There's probably a list on Reddit or somewhere that shows you. I think you can still abuse one of the Coils for that.
Patch 5.4 notes will have a full list since it usually gets a new entry every patch

I think it was Fifth Turn? The elevator one.
4th
oh? lemme check the patch notes
whoa its still works till now?
People usually spam garuda EX unsync for tank mounts
Well I dunno if it works now but I know you could at least in Stormblood
Takes a few seconds
ahh I seee
It was still the choice at 70
well i'm just bad okay
There was the odd tank mount Garuda ex party here and there
Derp, doesn’t have the older duties in it. But basically any 8-man and 24-man content at the level caps (50/60/70/80) count for it
Oh that's the "lesser" of the two achievements.
That one is any max-level duty.
I was thinking of the Tank You achievements
ah the patch notes doesnt gives you a full list of duties, only recently added
oh at least I know I can spam coil 4th and garuda ex
thank you guys
The go to for low level mount is Garuda EX, for the 61+ one people just spam omega raids
I think I remember 4th Coil is what people spammed in Heavensward since it was any Level 51+ one then 🤔
4th coil is still 50
What are the differences between eos and selene?
Nothing. They're cosmetic.
Fuck
they used to be different, but that was a while ago
So I reached "endgame" recently (well end of 5.0) and am reading a guide on how to gear incrementally towards the end game raids and such.
And there it is written that I can exchange tomestone for ilvl 460 and 490 gear in Eulmore.
So, I looked around but couldnt find 460 gear for tomestones? the 490 one is the Crystarium right?
Where is the best place to find a static? Is there a discord or page or something? 🙂
Slightly out of date...its 490 and 520 for tomes. 460 was moved to hunt currency
you can also try #resources
oh ok, thanks
Thank you 🙏
The methods are basically the same
you use raid coins to upgrade crystarium by 10 ilvl's
Farm tomes, get ilvl for eden and nier raids and do those for gear
Grab your relic weapon by doing thr lv70 24mans if you haven't and do the quest line in kugane
so I start by bying the Crystarium Gear right?
this is asked all the time im sure, but is this downtime frequency common? this seems insane. the time of day and the length
Maintenances dont happen often unless its a patch or extreme emergency/hotfix
tues maintenance every week
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/category/2?page=1
all previous maintenance for your viewing pleasure
All world maintenances bring the game down
Do you get Exp from Rank A marks?
you do, but its typically not used for that purpose because they're not easy to kill with sub-cap jobs
also you don't get full contribution
you also don't get a lot of tomes
just poetics

Hey all, what are rotations? I was watching a video but im still confused. Is it skills that combo into eachother or is there more too it than combos?
Skill flowchart
its a term to refer to the general sequence of combat actions taken
for example, a ninja will often follow a certain sequence of weaponskills and abilities repeating every minute
The order you use skills over the course of a fight which loops at some point
this sequence is known as its rotation
You're rotating through your skills
!faq blmleveling
Is there a specific rotation for every time or is it all the same
One example
There's a general rotation each job has
Generally speaking, we have AOE and Single target rotation
Then it gets adjusted slightly on a fight by fight based for alignment with various cooldowns working around forced down time
Most advanced guides focus on single target rotation because most of the boss fight has one target
