iirc I think the first overmeld on aesthete will make it better than the handsaint set
you also can't meld handsaint at all
the totem is a guaranteed drop, right ?
and you need fully pmeld aesthete to HQ the newest crafts anyway
Yes
So I have to do it only once, RIGHT ?
well most people want weapons for multiple classes
by the time you do it once you've probably effectively done it thousands of times
because you are literally going to see the same mechanics over and over again
until all 8 people in your static get it right
at that point it'd be trivial to just do it again
Bravura Ultima must be hot too but I don't play WAR
Same for deathbringer
so if i'm ever going to get multiple ultima weapons it's those 4
no more no less
is there a guide on stats and materia because i feel like i have no idea what im doing when it comes to stats and dmh increase. I usually just get higher ilvl gear and thats it. Thanks in advance.
are you level 80?
dmg*
!faq Balance
yeah
Check your job melding priority
most of the time its DAMAGE
most jobs are going to be crit > dh = det
you just want to hit hard
but like how do u know when youve hit like an apropriate amount of skill speed for example for my drk or like how to set up for my drg for maximum output dps? ive always struggled with stats in ffxiv
Balance tells you
thanks for the discord link btw!
Speed threshold
Are there any lamia guild
Whats the avg it takes to get a second class to 80?
N most efficient method? It's probably leveling raids huh
Depends on the role and the method
Tank/Healer: Dungeons
And thinking about a couple others to just have
DPS: Deep Dungeons and Bozja at 71
Unless you have a friend leveling a tank/healer in which case dungeons
!faq altlvlguide
you can level in bozja? I thought it was like eureka lol
You can and it's actually really good xp
Its eureka with exp
1,2-1,5m per normal fate
neat
might do that for my DNC then
Its not super fast but isn't terriblr
Shb fates and pixie beast tribe are also good options
why cant i cast the glamour for chest and head piece? the other parts work
what are you currently wearing
Is that something your job can equip?
Is the thing you're trying to glamour it to lower level than the glamour?
Check the item levels
You can't glamour higher level items onto lower level items
ok got it
thanks
(sadly)
You can pull those items out of the glamour chest if you really want that look right now
Equip them as is and later on chuck them into the dresser again
Is min ilevel to enjoy everything in the game so far 485?
Not counting hard modes
Just normal casual stuff
The farmable tomestone gear currently is i490
Is that hard to get?
Not at all
Im planning on at some point getting multiple chars at that
No, just a little time-consuming to farm allegory
You just run level cap dungeons and roulettes
Still time-consuming
Yup
You can also get tomes from hunts and maps.
If its not too expensive
i510 from marketboard
Oh fuck
We're talking a couple of hours to farm enough for a full set of 490 gear.
Probably gonna do that then lmao
MB 510 gear is going to be expensive.
By the time you get to 80 the price will probably have dropped considerably
And for further alternatives, bozja has gear too
Wdyall do for alt jobs?
Suffer
don't forget the free 510 gear from e9-12 normal
Do you have one main at max ilevel? Or do you try to get them all there
My friend just dinged freshly 80 and he could probably buy full set gear ilvl 510 maybe exclude Relic weapon ilvl 500 since it's pretty easy to get. the gear is pretty cheap now
Some jobs share gear so
Oh that's true
And some roles share all gear except weapons
I usually do a combination of previous tier augmented tome gear + current raid gear for alt jobs, then cycle through to get the current tomestone gear after I've done my main job.
Yeah, I just level Tanks
So I only need different weapons
it can
Technically it does.
just the universal set is a slight dps nerf for war iirc
Nah Full tenacity
works on all Tanks
but it's suboptimal
It's all Fending gear.
It's not like you're getting Striking or Casting gear for your WAR
If i wanted a drg, drk, ninja, and sam
Time to bring a Hempen Dalmatica with 2 piety materias to E12s
Id probably have some work ahead of me then huh
Yeah, with the exception of accessories for DRG and SAM, all four use different types of gear.
please keep comment here serious
NIN uses aiming accessories and its own gear for the left side
note that full crafted gear is beyond sufficient to do like first three savage fights
so you can just buy a full set for alt classes
I wouldn't say "beyond" sufficient, but yeah. You can probably do okay with full crafted gear.
It really is fine. You meet/exceed the min ilvl for those floors with that. Whether you're skilled enough to complete the fights with sufficient dps isn't part of the equation
Well i dont wanna be a scrub
Hi! Iโm trying to upgrade my stardust rod, I already got a Zodiac Roll by doing some quests with Hubairtin, but I still get this message. What am I missing?

Iirc this is the part where you have to meld materia into the sphere scroll
It doesnโt give me the option to meld materia ๐ฅบ
Even when you open the scroll?
you can get the brand-new ring by completing all of the role tutorials for a single role at The Smith/Hall of the Novice
*if ur willing to shell out the cash you can updrage to the collectors edition of shadowbringers and get the aetheryite earring
Boost exp gain up to level 70
Aetheryte earrings were preorder
Dont u get them if you upgrade? I thought you did
Is it good etiquette to coordinate the healing/mitigation strategy with your healers for some of the more extreme pulls i.e. gulg/bardams?
Its fine but its also df content so not entirely necessary
Especially when running WAR, since I have my own megaheal that most healers aren't going to let me maximize
I.e. IR cyclone on nascent
For learning Self-Destruct as a Blue Mage, I just need to survive the Bomb using Self-Destruct right?
I've been on both ends of that totem pole. If the healer knows what they are doing it shouldnt be a problem 90% of the time
Just see it cast, dont need to be hit
I was thinking, light mitig + self healing -> holmgang -> aspected/bene for a megaheal -> heavy mitig + let healer take over
You just have to see it cast don't hurt yourself
Seems to be the most optimal for prolonged pulls
Do i get it if i have the ultimate edition?
Or complete editon rather
ah
No it was a pre-order bonus you can't get it anymore
Confused. Lvl 53 tank here, got shouted at for aggro? Should I not be pulling anything with aggro?
Was this in content with more than 1 tank?
Theres an off tank and a main tank in 8man
No 4 man, pulled about 6 enemies thatโs all
Maybe they were scrubs and couldnt keep up
Who shouted at you, the healer?
The general way of doing things is pulling a sizeable yet manageable amount of enemies
Nope dps believe it or not
(Aether) How are the queues for copied factory nowadays?
Should be fine in prime time@leaden ginkgo
Gotcha, thank you!
Just trying to learn the job properly and it made me question what I was doing. Combination of both attacks, they tried to lead everyone and set the pace... and died a number of times.
Always aoe when there's more than 2 targets
Just that kind of people. It is not the norm
Use you cooldowns, face enemies away from the party and pick up lots of enemies if the healer can handle it
do people still run the rathalos trials?
Cool at least I was doing the right thing, pulling, mitigation and AoE. Thanks for the help
If it makes you feel better
Some people bully tanks because they cannot tank themselves
Normal mode is in trial roulette
Ex is a pfable thing
if i started in a preferred world then switched to a nonpreferred, would i lose the road to 70 buff?
aight
Yes you would snack
can you unsync ex and still get all the rewards?
yes
not the poetics
But you wouldn't be able to switch until your account is 90 days old anyways
i dont think u get poeitcs
you do get the first time bonus
poetics schmoetics
You get first time bonus
not the general completion poetics
poetics are hard to get
unsync is the same as sync in terms of rewards it'll easier to kill but no first time completion
no
theyre not
imagine thinking poertics are hard to get
they rain from the sky like candy
Whats the logic on what can be sold on marketplace and what cant?
the big UNTRADEABLE
Like what determines it
you can't sell untradable or bound items
on the top of the item
it is hard to get enough poetics in a day to get a full set of ironworks/shire/scaevan gear
Is it just loot from raids n stuff?
u have to grind trials/raids for like 1-2 hrs
Dungeons*
Materials and regular crafted glam can be sold
just do your msq roulettes
Yeah just sux as we all want to get through the dungeon, some constructive stuff would be useful instead of WHY ARE YOU AGGROING ENEMIES???
and your other roulettes
Stuff you have to grind for cant
Gotcha
usually because they're tomestone gear, unique, or are special items like Gold Saucer. Triple Triad cards are never tradeable as an example
a couple of days later you'll have more than enough
if you're going through patch content all those dungeons give a sizeable poetics first time bonus
As long as you do the 3 things I mentioned, you're automatically better than 80% of duty finder tanks, regardless of how trash you think you're playing at a given time
the only time i get slightly annoyed at tanks is when they do 1 group pulls
otherwise it's very hard to mess up as a tank
Its just interesting bc you can still buy ilvl510 stuff but not some other stuff
unless they forget tank stance
The 510 stuff you're talking about is Crafted Gear
i think it's far harder to play dps than as tank tbh
Crafted stuff is basically always tradable with very, very few exceptions (besides collectibles)
Thanks for the feedback and tips, appreciate it
if it's craftable it's sellable
yeah the idea is that crafters can make money by selling their wares
Ohhh that makes sense
they're masterworks all, you can't go wrong
But to get the best of the best is to grind right
Considering picking up healer on the side to better my own tanking, is AST a solid choice if I had to pick only one?
Is 510 the highest you can straight buy?
yes
all healers are good
at the moment
AST has beast buffs, WHM has beast heals, SCH has that ground slap thing
dont forget to use your cards as an AST though
sometimes i forget after coming back to AST after not playing the class for awhile
Ast isn't that simple its just comfortable to pick up
Would it be super difficult to get through the latest extreme with 510 gear
Ik its min 500
IIRC Scholar was the only one that didn't have a megaheal?
it's mechanics
Hey, is there a way to farm materia lv7 and 8 except for "adventure in need"
You can get through it with less
bene/aspected equivalent
we were saying earlier i510 is fine for the first 3 floors of savage
Scholar can use emergency tactics to convert shields into heals
weird question but what movement direction is the fastest in ff14? (W A S D)
!action excogitation
Grants self or target party member the effect of Excogitation, restoring HP when member's HP falls below 50% or upon effect duration expiration.
Cure Potency: 800
Duration: 45s Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1
EX is easier than savage
hunts for clusters and the 2 lv80 roulettes
But the later stuff its not?
All the same if you use legacy mode. Otherwise only s (backwards in relation to your camera) is slow
@warm snow All Hunts have a chance t o dorp clusters?
A ranks
thank you
A and S in SHB, So I can do the weekly hunt boards then
no
Does Chaos have an equivalent FC of SWORD on Crystal?
look up the clan centurio discord for better information on hunts
Okey
Should I hold onto these or burn into savage aim to sell?
I'd say hold if you want to savage raid and get bis, and sell if not.
They're really easy to get more of
Guess I'll wait for the price to go up a bit
Just sell until you need
7s will become less valuable over time since time gear raid gear and augmented crafted can't overmeld

does someone know how to put the coordinates on the chat?
<pos> for your coords
Control click on the map to place a flag and the game puts <flag> into chat for the flags coordinates
thanks
so how do i actually raise my resistance rank after getting enough mettle
promotion in base camp
who do i talk to for that
ah
the commender
talking to him doesnt seem to do anything?
Ah
hey guys, so i just hit level 11, i think they said I can start a second class at level 10 or was it further? Trying to make a healer & tank
You can but only the ones in your immediate area
What's the shb equivalent of odin/ixion/coeurlregina?
After completing your level 10 class quest
Formidable and Archaeotania
Those are called S-ranks, right?
i started conjurer, cant go into dark knight after right? or which is the purest tank? like for aggro & sustain
Nah, world bosses
Thanks
All the tanks are reletively the same in that regard
Any job can unlock dark Knight
Also yeah on top of what Sora said, you can't be DRK until you reach Heavensward story
which is a good, 50-60 hours of gameplay
ur only 2 options as of right now are Paladin and Warrior
paladin probably has the most traditional tank fantasy
they're also the only class that uses a shield
so 50-60 hrs of gameplay and i can get DRK, so paladin is available in my region before DRK in heavensward?
What is "my region"?
well you said ur level 11 so you havent reached the other nation states yet
Oh conjurer
yeah i meant nation state sorry
and since ur a CNJ u started in Gridania which has no tanks
Yeah Gridania doesn't start with tanks
so you'll have to keep doing main story till it takes you to the other cities
which is a level 15 main story quest
okay oaky, ill just keep doing secondary quests & main till i reach another city then
thanks for the replies guys ๐
For reference though
Gladiator (Paladin) starts in Ul'dah, marauder (warrior) starts in Limsa
Any way to make /targetpc only target party members?
I.e. in an alliance scenario
Had a rogue person from another alliance pass right in front of me when I was trying to cover for a near dead party member

instead of clicking on the character themselves, you could click on their name in the party list
F1 through F8 also have this function by default
You can also use /target <1> for targeting
And change the number to the appropriate party slot
To go even further you could put a vertical hotbar full of Cover macros that target each slot of the party
what color is Red Comet the chocobo from Bozja, I want to color my chocobo to it
but which red
dalamud or blood red maybe?
If i used barding on a chocobo does that work across all chocobos we can acquire
nope just the company chocobo
company chocobo is also the only mount you can use in battle
Are there more hotbars/is there a better way of rearranging abilities on said hotbar?
you can have up to 10 hotbars
And is there a way to drag abilities from one hotbar to another?
Or can you just drag them from your P screen to a hotbar?
click the little lock next to your hotbar 1
and you can move abilities around when its unlocked
Is it possible to make it up to there somehow? Or is that some hack?
10 seems a little low compared to what I'm used to from other MMOs, but I'm sure they've determined you dont need more than that
you can fit every jobs abilities onto 3 hotbars snugly
any more is for other stuff you want on your screen somewhere
#protips-and-ui has a guide in the pins for setting up a menu like system using macros and hotbars
midbattle gear swaps don't exist
and gear doesn't have any fancy actives or side effects
they're purely stat sticks in this game
the only consumable used is really at endgame content for things like stat pots for burst windows
or mana pots as a caster/healer
and food can just be eaten from the inventory as needed
Gotcha. This is gonna be a nice step back from some of the other MMOs I've been raiding in, in terms of how many buttons I gotta press to stay at the top of my game
Location?
@obsidian patio It's the floating little board thingy (description plz) in Ul'dah, steps of thal
you may be decently surprised, ff14 does take some skill to press buttons non-stop and dodge mechanics at the same time
In any case itโs likely making use of nearby surroundings or Out of Bound glitches/tricks
Iโd have to log in and look at the spot to see how it could be done
Huh, didn't know there was out of bounds stuff. I'd imagine Square wouldn't be happy to see that be done tho.
I'm coming from games like Runescape and DDO (though I'm sure that one is far less well known)
Most of the time theyโre extremely harmless
Hello all! Does anyone have any suggestions for how to find FATE leveling parties outside of PF? Seems like theres never any on there
FATE groups for leveling donโt really exist outside of maybe the Shadowbringers leveling zones
In any case you can always start up a PF listing yourself
most difficult thing I've done in runescape is zulrah/CoX and neither of them are as hard as savage raiding
but they aren't really comparable anyway
hmm good to know, thank you!
I've done telos and rax in rs3
they are easier than savage
different skill sets in any case
Yeah. I have no doubt the mechanics themselves will be harder
I just hated the APM aspect and am gonna enjoy scaling back on that
crafted my own scythe from rax, in fact
Thinking I'm gonna jump into tanking, though I'm sure only small amounts of my tanking experience will carry over
it's nothing like rs3
as far as tanking goes
you have tank swaps, that's pretty much the only similarity
Most games have more complexity to tanking than rs3 to be honest
My tank experience is more wow and ddo than rs3
How much should I expect to throw out the window?
most of it, really
tanking as a core concept doesn't change across mmorpgs--mitigate damage, keep aggro, provide party utility
@karmic niche no, just any damage the target gets goes straight to you
in ff14 though it's encouraged for you to pull giant packs, most of the time wall to wall, and then the party just aoe down everything
Knockback is also affected but usually it's a non-concern
!action cover
yes
raid tanking is also quite different than dungeon tanking too
I expected that
It also goes through Hallowed Ground so you can't cheese things
Mechanics through the roof, less just massive mob swarms
Well shit..
That magic invulnerable attack just going to 1 shot me
I wonder why ilya doing it
Cover is rarely used these days
I'll have to track down where my metronome is because the game's GCD is effing with my current rhythm
Is snappy rotations super important or less so?
I should just remove cover from my hotbar
it has its uses
ff14 has a 2.5 global cooldown which is slower than most mmorpgs, wow and rs3 included
Only time I've ever seen it is when our pld forgets to turn on stance for e12 buster
some classes build skill speed/spell speed to further reduce that gcd to a certain threshold (usually around 2.4 or so depending on class)
but ff14 compensates with giving you numerous ogcds that you can weave or double-weave between gcds
the fastest classes, ninja/monk/machinist, have quite high APM and skill speed
I'm not that far into the game but I've seen that ogcd stuff and I've really learned to appreciate the ogcd stun that gladiator has
most classes are going to feel pretty slow up until well into their level 50-60 level range
due to the 2.5 gcd
are there large levequest past lv60?
Oof, 44 levels to go I guess
by 70 all classes are going to feel "complete" with a pretty active rotation
I don't think so? There no levequest except crafting one i think
skills do have a queue if you use them unmacroed
so you don't really need an internal rhythm
and can just mash at them till they go off

is there a server to start fresh on that's like wholesome and not elitist and berating
Oh, yay
In that case I'll mash like my keyboard is potatoes
Anything I should specifically look out for while I'm leveling to cap? Or is the name of the game "arrive at cap, do cap things"
@timber condor elitism doesn't really exist, but you could always go to Crystal which is more RP focused compared to Aether while Primalnis pretty in between on the NA data centers
(namely by being elitist is an easy way to get a mark against you, especially since parsing is against ToS)
Does anyone have a link to the fast version of Metal - Brute Justice Mode from Ultimate Alexander?
Its primals version. Check on youtube
Primals! Thank you! I didn't know the right thing to search.
the game is everything but that
everything is locked behind story, story is everything in ff14
so take the game at your own pace and enjoy the story
Alright, good to know
your character level is pointless, the level of your main story is more important
you'll have enough experience through MSQ to level numerous classes, so start off and pick out like 2-3 of them that interest you
sticking to one class is going to result in being grossly overleveled
which provides no advantages in ff14
???
?
you get armoury bonus on your lower classes as long as you have one class higher level than the rest
Being maxed out but not at the end of msq does nothing for you other than armouryexp
You won't even have access to all your skills
Because they're msq/job quest gated
it's not clear what you mean at all
Which means u should be at 80
You have to be max job level to complete msq anyways
Its same stuff
you can easily keep up two classes with MSQ level
Can you not macro BLU?
/blueaction
thats actually informative
I was wondering if i should level side by side with two classes
Ok that worked, thx... tho I still can't get the micon to work
Is three too much? I just like playing as everything ๐
you can do three
For /micon put blueaction after the action name
3 is feasible
as long as you're hitting up your dailies on your classes
uum... so im playing dragoon and real confused about BotD and LotD.... when in Blood of the dragon i use mirage dive and i think im suppose to use it twice then use geirskogul to enter LotD but i dont seem to be getting the eyes from mirage dive?
So /micon Eruption Blueaction
Is there any time frame in which more people are online? I'm on Aether DC, and I need to do Ivalice to get my Relic. Thing is: the queue as Tank or Healers are atrocious
Total noob question but what are dailies
What level is your DRG
queue as dps

@finite topaz daily duty roulette
aether's most active hours are after 5pm PST
a
Im on aether after 5 everyone gets off work then
do i need another ability for t to work then?
I was expecting more people to be on tbh, since everyone wants Relics
Do your DRG job quest
Jesus, just tried now. More than 30 mins lmao
any job recommendation for new player? debating between long ranged dps vs healer
OHH okay so i cant enter LotD without the abilities i use in it?
No
okay ty โค๏ธ
pick whichever job looks the coolest, they're all viable
just pick both ranged dps and healer
ohh okay
You can do levelling roulette as many times as you want or no?
at level 1 the only ranged dps available to you is archer(bard) anyway, same with conjurer(white mage)
Once per day, bubbles
you only get extra EXp once
Per account?
Per character
Duty roulette primary purpose is to help out new players, by match making helping players to them and help them out in clearing contents.
In return, helping players get to enjoy bonus exp matching their level
is buying "Tales of Adventure: Stormblood" recommended?
No
If you are leveling an alt character, sure
what tank/healer should I play with 250 ms ๐
Warrior
Paladin maybe?
will I have difficulty using 5x bloodspiller/fell cleave?
ah right, idk much about paladin >.<
Is it worth selling my neo ish gear if I have full exa for whm n ast
You can still do bloodspiller and fc
Your main issue from high ping is double weaving
it's soulbound to you anyway
why is your ping so high?
best thing you can do is glam it, desynth, or exchange for gc seals
I didn't use it@robust crow
Would it be difficult to set up "glam farm" groups for normal raids? I really want the Edencall casting top but with randoms i get shit luck....
just made a character in light server ^.^
K
ah
connection to EU servers from AU isn't that good
glam is set to a specific equipment you're wearing, right? you can't make a glamour and then use it with any equipment you're wearing with stats without re-applying it
no it not. you can play anything, it's just all gonna be single weaves and the longest gcd you can get away with
also, stupid question guys regarding cosmetics, are they transmoged into gear? or cosmetics & gear are separate?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
thanks!
is pvp rly dead ? i want a few armor pieces nd hmmm
for magi dps, blm right? how about physical, samurai?
pretty sure you can still queue frontline daily challenge during peak time
but not sure about your server
if a gear says advanced melding forbidden does it mean u cant meld that?
yeah, it usually blue gear that has that
ahh
Advance melding Forbidden means you cannot meld into hidden slot
So if it has two slots, then two materia is all you can meld
hey I have the noobiest question - is there a better way for a white mage to retain mana? I'm coming back to the game from playing as a bard so im still quite new

Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
correct?
@frozen girder click the links to find the relevant quests to unlock the specific tier of stuff
Drk has alot of weaves
i feel like scholar doesn't have a lot of weaving -_-
It does
I did all the Idyllshire ones
I unlocked the vendor
It had the mosy off global heals
He won't give me anything but level 50 gear
whm has fewer weave windows than scholar
With aetherflow and fairy
I see
Because level 60 gear is behind the token exchange system

If you want level 70 you'll need to go to rhalgrs reach and unlock the level 70 stuff
his msq is lv 70 hmm, maybe you are close to it ๐ค
pretty sure you can unlock after you finished the MSQ
With Dark Knight, the only thing you need to do is turn the sound off because that aoe sound will become annoying as you use it constantly lol
I saw credits for SB post game
Is there a way to link your hud settings and class info to the server or something? I've been having a problem with it resetting from time to time
Character backup from character selection
Wow, thanks. How have I not used this for the 60 levels I've been playing this game
i never used it as well ๐
i just copy paste file from mygames/ffxiv
to backup my char files
anyone here playing from latin america? what's your ping look like/are dungeons and stuff playable?
I've got two computers which I switch between from time to time, so that method would likely not work for me
average 170 ms if you are from Brazil? @wide flax
i'm from brazil, yeah. i've been playing the trial version and i'm at level 29 rn, debating whether i get the complete edition (it's on sale on the psn store)
so far things are fine but idk end-game stuff or the harder content
well I'm from Australia, a lot of people here playing the same ping as yours..
I heard from some of their testimony, they can clear ultimate just fine..
๐
alright, thanks for answering. yeah, we're probably in similar situations wrt ping
i'll probably pick it up then
Welp. Gonna try tanking for the first time in this game, so wish me luck

you can try to lower it down by using a VPN like mudfish (the one i'm using)
it's very cheap, just like $3 per year for me
i might do that! would need to look up on how to set one up on my ps5
i've only ever used them on computers
as long as you don't use it while you are patching/downloading files from your FFXIV patcher
i keep getting this error when trying to start the game. "Unable to complete version update [30426][19900][2]"
what gives? it played fine this morning
an error with the launcher. Try using a VPN or updating internet explorer

I have a question about Free Company!
If I have someone sign my petition and they leave, does it remove the signature?
Hey! Somewhat new to the game. I just wanted to know that even if i pick lancer as my class can i switch later on to tank?
yes
yep, 1 character can learn all classes
You can have as many classes as you want
Thank you. What I want to do is level up to become a Dargoon then switch to Dark Knight
Sounds like a plan stan
Thanks, that is helpful.

You need story completion to heavensward and be lv50
So is anyone familiar with the level boost you can buy at the MOG
Youd be missing out on some story but whatever floats your boat
Okay, so if i buy it it will remove the story up to that lvl?
^
When you buy the augmented gear from Idyllshire is that gear already enhanced?
Thx a lot Vinyl.
so i want the one that doesnt. I plan on playing with my friend and yeah i'll be OP outside of the level sync events which is fine. It's mostly to be a tank but when he gets leveled up I can play either.
Thanks for the help!
Your level doesn't mean anything until you progress the story to that point
oh interesting
You literally cant do any content above your story level even id you're capped
Story based game so you gotta do everything in order anyhow
Buying only level skip is just a waste cause story carries your first job
Oh
Do the textures get better every expansion? It looks good but still a little dated
okay so i have to do a little leveling first
At the very least do the cutscenes?
but the textures are still the same
To get through
hmm i think its worth. So getting the lvl jump will unlock everything but it will be behind the story wall, correct?
really dont recommend level skipping when ur new, you get overwhelmed pretty easily
Okay so all skills same spot in the story, then i just need to clear the story up to where I can get the Dark Knight stuff which is in heavensward right
Yes
You're the best man thanks a bunch
And the xp from story will carry you to the required level for it
Okay bet. Ill be back.
Yea you will almost always outlevel the MSQ
Story wnd daily roulettes keep you pretty ahead especially when it level curves weirdly
What lvl do you end up usually after msq?
80
well the msq requires you to have lv 80 job to take it...
either way, if you haven't got lv 80 yet, you will level your job level another way
either from doing highest level dungeon/roulette
any minion vendors in limsa?

i have already watched that but sadly it doesnt specify
i have already completed some of the steps mentioned there, but i dont know how to start it, who to talk to or what option to choose
did you get the oil and trade it + the weapon at the forge
mmm im not sure, what weapon exactly? i have the stardust rod nexus equipped
how does online store purchase item "The Tales of Adventure: One <Job>'s Journey" works? do you buy it and it automatically applies to the character or do you have to somehow apply it manually?
i see, thanks
another question about the tales of adventure job, do you have to be at lv 30 and have the job in order to use the item or can you use it at lv 1?
Can use at any level as any job
So a thaumaturge at level 1 can use the RDM boost
@lavish vortex https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Zodiac_Braves_Weapons/Quest
read it carefully as it's easy to overlook something.
High ping should be GNB honestly
Thanks @plush hound I just finished His Dark materia Quest. but then it just jumps to the items needed, not saying what to do exactly
Do i have to talk to Jalzham and choose the option Zodiac Weapon Recreation maybe?
The high-quality item you make yourself or buy off the marketboard
The spring water is poetics

The bomb core is GC seals
i already did all that, and completed the 4 quests
Then yeah you choose to recreate the zodiac
Umm, if you finished His Dark Materia then you should have the Zodiac weapon.
Finally!! that was it, thanks a lot guys!
how do i unlock guildhests?
that was the step i was missing, talking to Jalzham and actually selecting the option Zodiac Weapon recreation.. thats the part that is not in the guides haha
Automatically as you complete them
IIRC, should be a quest at your adventurers guild
Tbh youโre not missing much by not having them

yoyo
i got these timeworn map things
my friends tell me they're a way to make hella bread
but i gotta finish shadowbringers first or sumn?
acquired from the wondrous tail weekly
The current maps do...though older maps have some possibility since they're not ran often and rare mats could go for a good chunk
The Zonureskin are 80 so
You should at least finish Shadowbringers to have access to all maps and flying and gear
How do you do a tiny hop? Sometimes I will be jumping around and get a tiny hop which is like 1/3rd the height of a normal hop and falls quickly
It's a physics bug, I think. There's not supposed to be variable jumping, but I could be wrong.
tbh gazelleskins and dragonskins also make bank, actually better bank than zonure because less people run them -> less supply on mats
Aw that's unfortunate, I like the tiny hops better :( thank you
Is final fantasy working right now ? i bought it off steam and it wouldn't let me log into my account or create one
high framerate makes jump bug out a bit
You need to get a launcher from steam.
am I blind or is the little emblems on the bottom left side of the world map is new, I'm probably blind
There have always been emblems
ffxiv is working fine. my buddy who is also on steam told me she was having issues loading ffxiv about 5-10mins ago..could be a steam thing idk
Theyโre businesses and organisations that supported cartographer Roddard Ironheart in his journey to map Eorzea (and for other cartographers including his descendants to later add the rest of the Three Great Continents to the map)
I have a couple of questions, but first.....
I finally got back into playing ffxiv again since I finished shadowbringers around 5.31 when the Ishgardian Restoration started. Recently there was a new patch that unlocked more Main Story quests. So I was stoked to play the game. At first when I was playing FFXIV for the first time and trying to complete the game it was easy to get the gear to do the missions because I got them from job quests/or main story quests rewards. But towards the end of shadowbringers I had to find other ways to obtain the gear. I ended up using the gill I saved up to buy crafted gear to meet the required gear score for the mission. When shadowbringers ended I wanted to take a break. I played other games and got into WOW and I never played wow, and started at the end of BFA so everyone who were playing wow already completed the expansion and were waiting for shadowlands. So I started playing that and learned about mythic gear and heroic gear ect...
I want to focus on being prepared and not worrying about gear score when more Main Story Quests are available in FFXIV. I don't want to end up stopping mid way through the story just to farm some items and sell it on the marketplace to get the required il gear to continue the story. Earlier today I looked up IL 500 gear for my class. I found Edenmorn Casting Set was the best gear for my class. I just had a some questions related to this armor.
-
To get into the raid you need Min iLvl: 505, and catch up to
Chronicles of a New Era - Edento even unlock the raid. The only question I have for this raid is... How do I go about getting a min il 505 to even enter this raid or will the quest just let you partake in the raid without having a high gear score? -
Once I complete the quest, can I repeat the raid
Eden's Promise: Litany (Savage)over and over again to farmBook of Litanyor does it have a limit of attempts per week like some other mmorpg games have with their raids?
I had that problem when i bought the game too
Are you opening the game from the free trial launcher or from the full version launcher
Is there any use for older materia?
it works now, thanks for help
Arr relics
Thatโs it?
Just earn and spend tomestones dude
And get raid tokens
Edenmorn is from savage.
You donโt need to do savage to be prepared for MSQ.
-
easiest way is Exarchic gear. Otherwise make sure to get your weekly tokens from e9-12 for 510 gear, revelation for 520 and do emerald EX for 515 weapon
-
All of savage is weekly locked including book
Run expert roulette and level 80 roulette and others
Entering savage with a full pre-made also bypasses ilvl requirements
What's a great class for new players ?
Any
all classes slowly feed you your skills so you aren't overwhelmed
Gladiator are marauder are tanks, conjurer is a healer, lancer and pugilist are melee dps, archer is ranged dps, thaumaturge is caster dps
Arcanist is caster DPS that can branch off to healer at 30
what's the leveling like ? is it like wow and the gear isn't important up to the late game content ?
Basically, leveling two classes for one
I think that's my best route. I'll just farm tomes and buy the armor now before I even continue Post II quests. Thanks
First Job is levelled via story
You wanna be around the gear level for the area, but the story quests will throw gear at you.
You only need like 465 to finish thr MSQ
Only a problem if you are leveling multiple jobs
I'll look into that once I complete post 2 quest line. I appreciate the help
wait
465

i didn't know that
Wait its like 470
Or something for Matoya
MSQ NEVER has high ilvl requirements
Just full allegory gear gets you through 
Thats not even counting augmenting it via nier coins/hunts
okay appreciate the help. I'll just farm tomes to get the gear

Getting high ilvl will only help for when the expansion hits and we start levelling again
Oh then I have a lot of time to prepare
We aren't getting any higher ilvl gear
The new nier raid in 5.5 will give 520 and Diamond EX will be like 525 weapon
Can you queue up for raids like in dungeons or do you need to form a party first?
You can que especially for normal modes
Extreme, savage and stuff you do via party finder
nice I'm looking forward to doing those when I finish catching up with Post-Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quests II
Everyone's hyped for the ishgard stuff and I still don't know where to get this brush emote?
Zonureskin maps
Oooh
Its a rare drop from thr dungeons inside
Thank you so much!
Any particular reason why several PLDs I've inspected have an emerald shield but not an emerald sword?
Same with the glamour
How do you get the hat
Everything in that image is from Zonureskin maps
ohhh
too much stuff to do so little time

thank you again now i have something else to add on my checklist
getting unlucky in the trial and buying the sword with totems
idk about "several plds" since usually they'll just do the last 3 runs to get the shield too
unless there's some hidden paladin stat tier tech i don't know about
or maybe they rolled the shield but not the weapon
idk
do i need to get many addons like in wow to play the game efficiently ?
No
you dont need any
the game tells me which piece of loot is better/damage i've done etc ?
Can someone tell me what materia I should focus on as a DRK?
It does loot comparssion to a extent...damage dealt is a third party addon which is the only real major one
99% of the time the better piece of loot is the higher ilevel one
by the time you're worrying about rolling for loot against other players, you should already know exactly what your BiS set is
alright, good to know.
BiS for all classes is some combination of savage loot and weekly tomestone gear

Okay, thank you!

What is the content in endgame ? like what do you do most of the times ?
hey guys, is the Aetheryte Earring in the shadowbringer collectors edition?
or was it a preorder bonus?
Preorder bonus
Your friend is confused
if you're just asking what there is to do at endgame, there's tons of shit
Or found a old key that someone is selling
nah, he purchased full collectors from square enix store today and said he got it in mail
weird
between savage raiding, ultimate raiding, endgame crafting, going through eureka, collecting glams, making gil, leveling up additional classes...
in terms of "endgame," there are also so many casual completionist things to do, such as mount farming
You'll auto again after the cast finishes
cannot check the mogstation page cuz company's PC. What will I get from upgrading my complete edition to collector's edition in mogstation? ๐ฎ
ask company's filter programme XD
each expansion's collector's edition gives different stuff
shadowbringers gives you a minion and squall's gunblade iirc
web discord is a thing
well
did not know that
thanks
Uhh, how do i get a guild/fc estate?
you camp housing area and hope for an empty lot
Teleport menu
Oh buying one
Yeah good luck
Stalk housing wards and camp open placards
also make sure play often enough cuz house is auto-demolish after 45 days of un-sub ๐ฎ
Well FC house timer is reset by anyone of the FC entering it
Yes
Our fc house is small
Am struggling on a WHM level 60 quest that has NO help anywhere on the interet (and i can't watch a youtube video on it for the moment, and usually those don't help me.) - I'm struggling to find mourn xD
Level 60 lol.
I think he want to come to the quest location
Oh item level?
No i mean your gear lvl
Isn't the Mourn the Cave that leads to Sohr ai
Yea i've already done all of HW, my mains are Bard and MCN lol
They're looking for location
you can fly, right?
XD well.. i lie, i STARTED as whm, and gave up ๐
Yes, and i've been through A CAVE but it's the wrong cave ๐
been in two caves, both not the right caeves ๐
Just get the ilvl 270 weapon and cheese it
Ohhh
_> uhm, snort I think i did that quest in MSQ ages ago - this is the job quest ๐
Isnt it on the map ?
The Mourn is the cave leading to Sohr Ai
I should've been a tad clearer ๐
