does it cost anything?
some gil IIRC
2000 gil
so it's asking date of birth on my character. does anything of this characters age matter?
ah. I have zero clue of this fifth astral moon stuff
yeah theyre just the months
its the months
what about deity?
also flavor
If you’re crafting gear for glamour, making it HQ is just cosmetic right?
apparently my diety actually affects elemental resistance
elemental resistance has been removed
Is there any substantial difference between Light and Chaos?
Yes, it's purely a matter of pride (of being able to HQ it). It doesn't affect looks at all.
Oh boi I can’t wait to run Final Coil turn 1, 5000 times just for those rare items
:V
doubt it's pride either 😂 it's just that you can craft low level stuff super easy as lv 80
I’m lvl 60
And I have to get all the mats myself
either way hq glamour doesn't matter hehe
wellp. in I go. thanks for the help
Good luck!
have fun!
Enjoy the wild ride
error code i2501 when trying to make an account?
Pretty general error with no clear solution.
General things that solve it is a better/stable/not-public internet connection, not using a VPN (though using it can sometimes help), and using other browsers or using mobile
dang okay i would try on mobile or another browser but idk how to get back to the page where i can enter the confirmation code
i had a problem with a confirmation code earlier this morning too but now i was trying again
with a different email
yeah I had the same problem; ended up using a different email and only using my phone to access it
For making gil, should I lvl mining, botanist or culinarian? culinarian seems fun but don't wanna lvl it first if it's just a gil sink
Mining/Botanist
leveling crafters are a gil sink until you maxed them and make latest stuff. Even then, you prob need to max all of them since recipes often require stuff made by other crafters. (except maybe CUL since they are very self-contained)
For gatherers, either mining or botanist is fine but you still need to max them
For example: to make a weapon, you might need metal from blacksmith, gemstone from goldsmith, and glue from alchemist
CUL mostly needs stuff from gatherers and also fish/seafood

When do you lose your sproutness?
at the end of stormblood and 168h playtime iirc
Oh well that's interesting
If you bought a slip you'll still be considered a sprout I believe until after you finish the msq or fulfill the playtime hours. Not sure which exactly it is
or if you reach mentor status
Yeah but by the time you reach mentor status you'll probably have the 168h playtime
yes but you can easily reach trade mentor before finishing hw
so it's worth noting that it's an alternate way of losing the new adventurer status
Can also use the command /nastatus off
But why remove your get out of jail free card
I'm lv72 and want to hit lv80 before doing shadowbringers story. What's the best way to do that?
Your roulettes
roulette bonus should give you 2 lv ups a day (if prae is gotten in msq)
Since shb friendly methods of leveling will be locked to you
Prae*?
Praetorium
The Praetorium
Second level 50 dungeon
One of the 2 8man dungeons you can get in the game from msq roulette
The meme one
So spam msq roulette?
no, just do each roulette once a day
Doing msq roulette, alliance raid roulette, leveling, Frontline every day will net you a lot of exp
Those are the big exp ones
Also turn in your wondrous tails once a week for half a level
finish your challenge log each week as well as khloe's wondrous tails book,
those 2 are a massive boost as well
Alright, ty^^ I'll do all those now
Good luck!
can you dye the gold saucer angel wings?
Hey! I just bought the game's Complete pack on the square-enix-game.com website. I activated the key, and it led me to log in with my square enix account through the FFXIV launcher. When I put my Square Enix ID and Password on it, it tells me that it is incorrect when i know for a fact is is exactly the one i put. I also did some prior research to figure out this problem. Many people online said that there are two accounts that you have to make, one from the square-enix-games.com website(this one i can log into fine, and I paid for the game already). The other is from the ff14 mog station. I made an account here too on multiple emails. Everytime I try to log in afterwards, it says that it is wrong. Any help? I don't want to waste my money.
Does bozjan even give global exp?
Nope
What do you mean by global? If you mean that you’ll get EXP/mettle for skirmishes you didn’t participate in, then no.
is there an easier way to move huds? Like I want my experience bar to move above but not use my mouse because it will go left and right and be unbalanced
I guess, like can you use Bozjan to level up good in shadowbringers?
IIRC, when you target a hud element you can use the arrow keys+shift or control to move stuff on a grid
Bozja is basically the equivalent of POTD/HOH for Shadowbringers. Good if you have long dungeon queues
Ok
Though if you’re actively working on resistance weapons then it’s good to do since you’re getting multiple things done
it keeps moving my camera instead
Apologies, it’s just dragging the hud element with the mouse, but with holding down shift
That makes it snap to the grid
oh yeah I see it now. thank you!
The Square Enix Store account has nothing to do with the account you make on the mogstation and is not needed at all to play the game.
As for why the accounts you’re making on the mogstation can’t log in, I can’t say for sure. :/
Yeah i know that they're two seperate accounts and the prior one is used just for the activation key, but yeah. The mog station isn't working
is there any way to pick more than one?
it just repeatedly says ID or password is incorrect even though i just made the account, confirmed it, it even gives me the ID in my confirmation email. But it still says incorrect id or password
Unless you can click-drag to select multiple things, then no.

how do i start melding?
Yeah was thinking a gatherer to sell materials. So cul will cost me unless I gather everything myself
yup
the gathering gear required to get the latest and thus profitable materials also require gil unless you craft them yourself which also requires gil
i got it to work, for the people who are on here answering questions, if u ever see someone have this problem again. Tell them this: the reason why the login for the mog station keeps telling you incorrect id or pass, it is because the website is really bad and it doesn't create ur account for awhile. It finally worked after like 2 hours. Then once ur inside of the mog station and it gives you an error i5201 when putting in the activation key. That is also because the website is trash. The fix to that is putting in the key through your phone. This will work, and everything else should work. I did go into another small error afterwards where the launcher told me "Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.
Please log in using a Square Enix account that has not registered a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account. " The fix to that is by going into the .cfg in the FFXIV folder and changing StartupCompleted 0 to StartupCompleted 1. Hope i helped a fellow soldier.
do the
until a certain point then minfilla will direct you to a NPC that teaches you about the materia system and who to approach to meld
its a lvl 19
iirc , Quest name is Life, Materia and Everything
What is that 1 million dollar hat called? The one with a 7 on it
Calfskin Rider's cap
Or Calfskin Rider cap
One of the two
If you're talking about the cap
ooh the cap, thank you
hi guys i have a question for eureka weapon if i upgrade anemos to pagos..do i lost the anemos one? i want to keep all for glamour
Yes, you lose the previous version
But you should be able to get a glamour version or shit like that
What's the command for a macro to cancel a running macro?
@inland topaz Staelhundr - Kugane (X:7.8 Y:14.1) to get a replica of your anemos weapon
thank you very much
So in this game and other mmos you play with the mouse on the screen. is there a way to make the game do it the other way around? like when I want to click on something in the screen I press my right mouse button to see my mouse?
basically I like to move my mouse to look around
/echo stop
There is also now a dedicated stop macro button in the keybinding settings.
Dont necessaerily have to use a macro to stop another macro anymore.
I dont think there is a setting like that in game. You might have to go with some programming shennaigans like an autohotkey that inverts your RMB input.
why are some pf text colours different?
damn
From what i recall. Blue means you can join if you already cleared that fight. Orange is either anybody can join or there is sone weird loot rule.
are these glamour coffers?
Yes. The crafter exclusive attire
!reset
howcome I can't complete this?
You need to select one of the three options as a reward.
oh
@hearty rover please use #kupo-bot-spam in the future
oh sorry
lv 36 msq, want to level crafter, but run out of leves
beside leves and crafting log, what do people use before ishgard restoration?
ixal beast tribe quest
Best waiting until Ishgard tho
ah i see that in my menu I think hmm, i'll give that try out
ty ty
wanted to experience it another way hehe, i experienced ishgard
I see, so just wait for leves i guess
ty ty
is BLM the class that requires most planning out of all others?
hmm the question is a bit vague
not really no
but which class requires deep knowledge of the fight to plan out everything beforehand
blm is like samurai, you can map out a short rotation and do it til hell freezes over
I'd argue it requires the best knowledge of the fight. But its rotation is actually very easy.
however unlike samurai you're more likely to be stopped by mechanics
yeah in the context of knowledge of the fight
so if you're minmaxing, yes blm really needs to know the fight movement
i'd say if you have a competent grasp of blm in general it's hard to outright crash the rotation due to having to do mechanics, but you certainly lose a bit sometimes
in order of 'casters impacted by movement' it's gotta be blm rdm smn
ranged physical have no problems, possibly besides dnc not being able to reach melee range for its flourishes

ah right this is my problem, i haven't tried other caster yet
I would like to point out that despite their dualcast trait, rdm actually has very low amount of continuous movement time outside of their melee combo
Yes. RDM's amount of hardcasts is deceptively high
oh right, rdm might be tricky too cause of the melee combo hmm
BLM can line things up to gain a good long window of free movement if they really need one
Especially compared to smn which, if necessary, can just use egi assault and ruin 2/4 to skate across the entire stage
blm is tricky because saving triplecast for movement is crippling, so you don't want to do it without an INCREDIBLY good reason
and often 'because i need to move here' is not a good enough reason
But it is there if you really need one
i think you knew the word for it, hehe. Do other caster/healer have that kind of restriction where you can't skate around.
as melee i know you can, since no cast time
i think i am doing something wrong in Ishgard Restoration.. i delivered at least a hundred LTW crafted itens but I don't have a single LTW score. Can anyone help? y_y
well i covered all 3 casters, astrologian and scholar get off easy with movement because astro has really easy slidecasts and scholar has Ruin 2
whm doesn't really have much
I think it takes 24 hours to update the ranking hmm
i'm not sure myself, maybe other can help
I see yeah, maybe I should look from different perspective since i'm leveling both whm and blm now hehe
ok ty ty
of course, movement questions for healers are reserved for when you've got comfortable enough to settle into glare monke
since the website said it would update each day at 1am (PST) i thought what i did yesterday would be there already... but you can be right
i mean in some way, melee need to also plan their dodge so they can maximise their burst window
but I think caster have it in different way
@drowsy stag which recipe did you do? the highest one?
casters just want to minimize movement in general.
ok ty ty ^.^
when i started i was around lv 50.. so i delievered the lv 40 recipe (which gave me kupo vouchers) and since i had materials i delivered lv 20 too.. when i reached lv 60, i started to deliever the lv 60 recipe too
idk if a recipe around that level gives ranking tbh...
afaik you gotta score the lv 70+, but not sure...
this is so unfair if it is how it works 😦
cause i level'd my weaver to 80 last ishgard restoration, didn't get any point..
that's lv 20-80..
but my memory is vague in this context, i might remember it wrongly
this is really a pain then.. to not reward new players or leveling players
ishgard ranking is very high end stuffs, hehe
even if you are pentamelded, you'll barely made it out 100th
well depends on the server I guess
the ranking and expert/artisan crafts are more a challenge for the lvl80 that don't have much else left to do as crafter
Do you get lower ranking points for DoL ishgard restoration if you turn in mats that are below lvl 80 compared to lvl 80 mats?
I'm currently rank 200 as botanist so I might go for it
i dont think so Sill
my miner rank is higher than botanist and i havent touch a single node.. all i donated was drops from monsters
for gathering you'll get a few point for gathering non 2 star materials
Ehh, top 100 doesn’t need you to do expert recipes at all if you just do a bunch of the normal 80’s
i've tested this, the case is different to the crafter one
And those can easily be done with facet gear or white scrip stuff
Ohh I've been gathering lvl 60 mats since lvl 80 mats only has 40% success rate
most points as gathering job you get for the artisan materials and umbral weather materials
I see 🤔
Top 100 gatherer definitely requires a bit more effort and sacrificing profit for points
Ahh I see
Since sometimes the plain 80 stuff sells higher than the artisanal stuff
is there a way to disable auto renewal without flat out cancelling my subscription every time I resub?
google isn't helping with its 5 year old forum answers
hmm isn't that what you wanted to do? to stop the sub
cancel subscription, you should have the option to just "top up" gametime
stop sub means no auto-renewal lol
Is there a better way to time equilibrium so that your healer doesn't slap a heal on you at the same time?
if you want no auto-renewal you gotta buy game time
once my sub expires, it gets an error as there's no crysta for it to take from
So normally I have an idea of what a crit equilibrium will give me, so I wait until I can maximize it, which is ~70% ish of my HP and downwards
But I can't count the number of times when I use it and see a heal or two slapped on me at the same time from the healer
Just feels wasted
I read that as a solution on the forums.
but no, I want to turn off auto-renewal without cancelling it- cancelling it means I have to put the card information in again and then go in and cancel it after I pay for it again every month (and it ate my $15 once and took my game time so I'm afraid of this)
planning for it with your healer is suggested, otherwise, predict it
well, not sure what kind of solution you're after.
I use credit/debit card, buy crysta, spend crysta on sub.
really doubt it ate the $15
game tries to auto renew, but fails because i have 0 crysta already
cause i did cancel my sub multiple time and had to enter the credit card details all over again
all i lost was the 1 euro sub fee which they will return later
1 euro sub fee?
its a test charge
No cus I paid it and then cancelled it, and then it made me pay for it again because it took away my game time when I hit cancel iirc
if you had paid for it, it wouldn't take away game time
basically "eating my $15"
that's impossible 🤔
oh.... might want to contact support for it
then idk
once you've paid for your sub, canceling doesn't remove time
Nono this was a while ago
so i'm not worried about it
I'll just cancel it, maybe i'll try the crysta thing
but basically cancel sub and crysta are really your only two option to not auto renew
i wish I could just turn it off but leave my stuff in there like most other subscription based things have
will they add more crafted gear before the next expansion or exarch is the last?
exarchic is the last set of combat crafted gear
ah thanks!
what does this box mean? it said inactive even before I cancelled

it's not worded very well nor are a lot of things on mog station
That’s for extra retainers

I’m a new player and I just want to get onto the same server as some friends, anyone know how long it can take for a server to start accepting new characters again?
usual recommendation is to wait for late night/early morning
since the temporary character creation lock is based on how many people are currently logged in
yes free stance means they use whatever abilities they have learned
in general, healer is the best tree for your chocobo since its generally the most useful
you can put points into attack after choco cure if you want to, but for most people going full healer at the start can be better
attack is generally 2nd best with tank being pretty...meh
so its not recommend to get at all until you've finished the other two trees
You are better at tanking and dealing damage compared to the chocobo anyway no matter what Job you have
Whats the difference between the normal Ironwork raid gear and the Augmented Ironwork raid gear?
Normal ironwork is i120, so it has slightly weaker stat
ie the normal gear you buy with allagen tombstones at mor dhona and the augmented stuff you can get at the sundry
And cannot be dyed
you can't buy unagumented ironworks anymore
Augmented is what you get off the NPC
only the most recent level 80 ones
But to answer your question: you get items and trade it with you normal ironwork to get augmented version
For QoL improvement, SE just let everyone get augmented version directly
right now only eden's promise normal and savage have weekly lockouts
Wow, that's rad
not just to the lockout, but to the qol for the gear
I'm a wow convert
and that's like, way better than wow lmao
also it's not a limit on running the raids ig, just the loot you can get
Oh, so would I get the same amount of tombstones every time?
The lock out applies to chest drop
Not tomestone
To be specific
Normal raid lock you out for the week once you claimed one loot, this is done per floor
aaah, I see
Savage raid loot lock out is a tad more complicated
I also misunderstood myself, I just did castrum meridianum and the praetorium and thought those were raids, 'cus they have more than the normal amount of people I was used to
These two are very unique
In that they are the only two 8-players dungeon
They are unfortunately not very well received by the community for various reasons
To roughly give you an idea on what's what, we have dungeons, trials, raid, and alliance raids
Some dungeons have Hard, but they are more like remix than just a direct difficulty bump
aaah, gotcha
ty for the info! :>
I saw there was a Monster Hunter crossover, I looked it up and the mount drops from the savage difficulty, yeah?
Is there a lockout on that?
'cus I need that mount lol
Ex Rathalos is permanent
Trials have normal and extreme, extreme are a tad harder and people don't use duty finder for them.
And there's no limit whatsoever on extreme content
Alliance raids are 24 players raid, they only have normal difficulty. Each expansion has one alliance raid series, with 3 raid per series
ARR: Crystal Tower (compulsory for story)
HW: Void Ark
SB: Return to Ivalice
ShB: Yorha Apocalypse (aka Nier Automata raid)
how many supply and delievery things can u do a day?
Raids are 8 player content, each expansion has one raid series, with normal and Savage difficulty, ARR is unique in that their raid series is basically savage difficulty, but it isn't marked as one (ARR is very inconsistent). Raid series each have 3 tiers, and each tiers have 4 raids.
Oh, above all these, there are Ultimate trials. These are the hardest 8-player PvE content this game has to offer. There are three of them. They are basically a 10-15 minute long boss marathon with tough as nail mechanics to learn and practice
It can take weeks or months for a group to practice and clear these
oh that sounds rad
they are 16-18 mins more like
Close enough
I'm genuinely amazed at how much this game values your time compared to WoW lol
Thanks for the info again!!
well its a different business model
wow is all about ENGAGEMENT
to a very bad point
where u need to no life
to keep current
yea since XIV is a narrative based game, they needed to make sure new players weren't screwed from moment one
the downside is that xiv ends up having less content to do than WoW. whether or not thats an issue just comes down to what your looking for in a game at the end of the day
but what xiv lacks in quantity, def makes up for with quality
mhm, I enjoyed mog hunting and stuff and I think I'll really enjoy that in xiv too
pls yoshi p give us WoW's xmog system
I still don't fully understand how it functions
You obtain the gear
I know there's like, a dresser you put gear in? I'm used to the WoW collection system lol
Put it in a wardrobe
That has like
Limited slots
400? I think
And then you mix and match the pieces in plates
You can have like..m idk 8? Plates
And you can apply a plate to yourself
15 max plates
do you remember WoW's old transmog system where you had to keep the items, then go to the xmog npc to be able to apply the outfits? its very similar, except instead of going to an npc, you use these items called glamour prisms, which are consumables, to apply the appearances.
but theres also the glamour dresser, which other ppl are explaining rn
oooh shit that's actually kinda great
Well the dresses is much less of a pain
its not bad, but def not even close to as good as what wow has
That's exactly what I wanted really, a clothing option for each job
Than doing glam piece by piece
the collection system in wow is so nice
but yea managing outfits with the glamour dresser, i think xiv does better than wow for sure
Not character bound
But I guess you have less reason to have alts
I have one to raid without static
What is a "static"? Like, a set raid group?
Yeah raids are only 8 ppl
So usually people don't raid with their FC (guild)
Also FCs are server limited
Whereas you can raid with anyone from your data center
aah, gotcha
yea, this game doesnt require guilds to raid like in wow
bc all content is done across your entire data center
The only issue is loot lockout
So if you cleared a week
You can enter a raid but you make one chest go puff
You need 4 uncleared ppl for 1 chest
8 for 2
Tuesdays
another way to put it: weekly reset is earlier than daily reset*

Hello, is there any LFG site/discord to look for the players for Hard Mode Trials? I'm still progressing through the main story etc. and know i need to do the Ifrit Hard Mode and it take much more time to find a party than the regular one. Is it normal or i should look for the group some place outside the game?
hey @rain umbra have you tried enabling all language on your duty finder?
if not you can contact a mentor and ask to invite you to novice network
it's casual level 50 content that's in a duty finder roulette people queue for everyday
they usually help you there with queue
Ok, thank you. I will try to expand the language options.
I'm waiting 25 minutes now with the tank...
its like late noon on a work day for most of EU so there's not many people playing
it'll pop eventually, it's not content that requires grouping outside of the game or even in party finder
Yeah i know - home office rocks for me as i have not so much to do today 😄
Yo guys i just bought a yukata from the mogstation, how do I get it? Never bought anything before
you'll get it through ingame mail
ah, the moogle bois?
yeah
Cool, thanks
Ok - i just wanted to make sure about that. Thank you!
Is it possible to paint the interior wall of the house?
How long does it usually take to receive purchased items?
few mins
usually a few minutes, but certain items can take longer
also can take longer depending on how bogged the system is
Can use the "request delivery" button when talking to the mail moogle to try and speed things up, but ultimately just have to be patient
Fair enough, not used to non-instant delivery of items when you buy them ingame
is there a discord group for map run? (elemental)
I watched a few people stream the game recently - How are some peoples UI windows blue?
its an option in the system config menu
I just found it. Thank you!
check party finder on the weekends mainly.
Nope, but you can use the workaround of the blank/white partitions as those are dyeable
what happense if im progging an instance (i.e. e11s) and my sub runs out>
you will be kicked out
yikes

Thank you! I'll change the interior walls to match a Moogle shelf I got.
does desynth skill ever reset?
you can reset it manually with specific items i think but.. yeah why would you
so its basically a permanent rate-up for rare mats?
no, the item is no longer available, vis
oh rip
does it have a max?
its 530 now, i think?
it's 510 now but it increases with each patch as new items are made desynthable
right, 530 stuff cant be desynth'd yet
and it's always basically ilvl = reccomended desynth level
like desynth of an i495 weapon = reccomended desynth level 495.00
that's the recommended desynth skill you should have to get the best rewards for it
So you can desynth it even if you aren't at the appropriate skill level
you're just not going to have the best chance of getting the rare rewards from that item
you still get a bit of level when you're roughly around the same lvl as the item
But the bigger the gap, the small the exp you'll get from that item
until you dont get any exp from that item
so when i desynth a ilvl10 item and my desynthesis is 490
i get no xp from it
because there's a huge lvl difference
I didn't get a single thing about how this works, but k
I made this leveling method, is it good?
1 - 15: Hunting log, guildhests and Potd
15 - 50: Spam your latest RRB dungeon
50 - 51: Alliance roulette or MSQ roulette
51 - 60: Spam your latest HW dungeon
60 - 61: Do your rouletts
61 - 70: Spam HoH
70 - 71: Rouletts again or more HoH
71 - 80: Bozjan and tribe quests
the basic gist is, desynth items that are around your desynth level or higher than it
potd/hoh and dungeon spam are interchangeable it depends on your queue times
also you should always do roulettes
You can do roulettes yeah. FC members pointed it out
yeah i just mean not just in the level ranges you mentioned
1-70 is basically roulettes/deep dungeons/highest dungeon/beast tribes
Oh so I can still rise my desynth skill level? even if the item is lower? I honestly just want to know the limit of the skill thingy
you will get some points for items are low
but they will be pretty low, and the item can't be signficantly lower than your desynth level
kind of like how if you're lvl 50 fighting lvl 10 mobs
you get no exp from those lvl 10 mobs because they're well below your lvl range
I just want to have rare drop rate up tbh idgaf about how long it takes
I have my first crafter (cul) at lvl 70. Should I keep doing tradecraft quests or focus on ishgard restoration
if you wanna level desynth fast
@turbid mural if you still have leve allowances, i would focus on using those first assuming you can easily HQ the items requested
otherwise restoration is pretty easy/lazy way to level
Thanks
I forgotten does anyone know what the command is to copy cross hotbars are ?
cool thanks
How do I dye lvl 70 artifact?
upgrade it in eureka
For confirmation, scholars fey illumination and dissipation don't buff ogcds, only spells?
oh lord. Any estimation how long that takes per class?
not sure on how long, but if you're already 20 in anemos, probably not too long?
correct gcd healing only @hollow wraith
That... kinda sucks. But thanks
Morning everyone. I have a quick question. Is there a way to keep the "sprout" and "flower" next to my name? I made it to Lv79 in about 2ish months. I still don't know what im doing but want people to know that I'm still new
the sprout icon is automatically removed when you have 168hrs played and complete the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes"
so there's no real way to keep that without not progressing msq
Crap.. Thank you for the information. I'm guessing there isn't some other way to still let people know you are new to the game. I really like the novice network. Was freaked out when I noticed it was gone when I went to go ask a question
This item says it sells for 82 gil but that it also requires 1 cobalt piece. What does that mean?
Is there a big RP hub on Light like Omega is on Chaos?
basically just say at the beginning of a dungeon "Hey, i'm new and still learning!" but no, there's not really anything else to indicate visually you're a newbie still
you can buy it with the titan cobaltpiece or with gil @south roost
you can either buy the ash with gil or their currency
Ah ok ty
except if you're a healer or a tank, 15-70 would be spamming higher level dungeons.
it's useful to do msq as soon as you hit 50 because if you get prae you get to level 52 real fast but other than that you can do the good roulettes (normal raid and 50/60/70 are sorta bad) every day regardless of your level
I think that if you're instant queue dungeon spamming it may not really matter that much whether you do roulettes or not but especially late in a level bracket the deep dungeons get kinda sluggish

Is the will of defiance thing in seat of sacrifce a shared thing we have to keep up or is individual
I need halp crafting >_<
I don't remember half of those skills
But I can swear that you use at least some of them incorrectly
So if you click craft but don't execute any actions, and you press "Quit", is it 100% not going to use up any materials?
yes
Waste not should proceed 4 synthesis or touch action
hey! anyone here using samsung odyssey g9 display? I'm curious about performance, your settings and gpu
Oh
At level 77, I can swear you should have a skill that gives you 4 stack of Inner Quiet directly
the waste not is late because they're using prep touch which can't be used with waste not
i don't know much about what a good rota is don't get me wrong i just know how the skills interact lol
I fixed it XD
That's fair
I realized that I could just use the normal touch with the waste not
It's early morning for me so I'm not htinking
Thinkgning*
Thinking*

#recruitment-light
Where would I go in this discord to find a regular group willing to be patient with me learning a class?
@dusty canyon join a FC and ask if people are willing help and give pointers
If you're talking about just people to play with, your related recruitment channels
while doing dungeons with you
I hate sounding like a noob but what is FC
Was gone for over a year and a half so lotta stuff I don’t remember
Free company, this games version of player guilds
Ahhhh ok
does this mean the plot has been up for at least 11 hours?
Gp to hit 800gp gathering to meet breakpoints and then dump the rest in perception
Thats how I approach it
At least 11 hours snack. This could be a second or third devaluation based on what the initial price was
And how much it devaluates
is there an upper bound for long a plot is on sale?
so it can be days to weeks?
Usually isn't
so usually jsut a day?
Can be less than a day too
So is astrologin worth re learning?
currently lvl 48 as a botanist am i suppose to level up just going around open world cutting trees similar to my level? or is there a faster way
Leves and diadem via ishgard restoration
Diadem
Leves are the quickest
Yeah i went to the diadem i dont really understand tho am i suppose to just farm the 100% mats?
Do the highest level leve you can
Play whatever interests you
Ast only got a couple mana buffs and card changes
In the time you were gone
i dont understand the leves thing whenever i go to talk to one of the npc it says i need to use a non gathering/crafting job
how do i use it to level up my botanist
Yo guys, I just unlocked dirk knight but the quest that was supposed to unlock the level 30 didn't unlock it, is this a bug?
If you haven't unlocked leves in an area you have to do a combat one for the unlock quest
Can you screenshot?
You didn't finish the quest
Finish the quest
You simply did an objective
You haven't turned it in

hi does anyone know a good way of moving FFXIV to a new drive without reinstalling? is it as simple as moving the folder in the steam apps/common folder?
I may be talking bullshit here, but doesn't Steam have an inbuilt system to move games between drives?
Because yes, that should be all you need
it'll mess with your mods/shaders a bit but if that's not an issue then no problems
Here
A lot of us are regulars
Like always here
Otherwise I'd join a beginner friendly FC
Or linkshell
Yep - rightclick on XIV in your library and navigate here. Should do the job in full.
(i know this is obviously not xiv but same point)
Steam just installs the FFXIV launcher but does the launcher install the game in the same Steam folder?
I'm on Linux so I had to do some unconventional stuff lol
And also don't read enough
The move function in Steam only moves the files that Steam knows about by my understanding. So it might not move files downloaded by the launcher
i don't play XIV on steam so i can't say with confidence
it moves the entire folder that it installs
That includes anything you added to the folder
So yes
It should move all of FFXIV
awesome i’ll give it a shot and let y’all know
Is there an EU version of Dothpawrl's Housing Alerts?
You'd need to move Steam to the drive as well and then redownload ff14
Can you not select the E drive and then download it there?
I have ff14 on an external drive however I dont use steam
Yes, if you're willing to redownload. Moving is faster and preferable, especially for those of us that don't have fast internet
So I did this they took 1 eur but money is actually gone, and then i reopen the tab and have to do it again, will they charger 1 eur again? lol
It's temp gone
Some people use fake bank accounts that don't have money in them, so they do a temp charge of 1$ which they give back after a day or 2 @flint temple
Yes, there are level 60-70 job quests
Ok I see, i just kinda hate how this whole mogstation website works
where?
Should be on your MSQ tracker, below the MSQ name
Click the ! button
chain begins where your class trainer is normally, in the case of dragoon, in the observatorium at coerthas @toxic falcon
side quest time
...
gotta love rpgs
What's the best way to get gil as a miner
bruh i need gil
Like is there a tracker
sell good rocks
For what's selling fastest
there's no tracker because market fluctuates that much
I wish there was a Botanist level skip
_>
I don't even care about the leveling part-- I'm already level 76... I just want the side quest skip
there won't be
Ik
take that to #rants or #general-discussion because thats not for here either
So the lore tomes are like the Mining Master Recipes?
yes
Also, is there a level 70-80 miner questline?
Is there a channel to ask for help getting, let's say HW birbs?
no
I thought I saw a level 80 quest a while ago
there are crystarium deliveries
Or is that this channel?
#603040697884475393 @spring tendon
wrong channel glows
thats for you not him
grab the appropriate data center role
party finder is your best bet for mount farming though
Thanks. Cause I want the firebird but it seems i picked a bad time to unlock the extreme trials cause the firmament just started TwT
I don't have access to the recruitment channels
So everyone is busy with that and my...FC is pretty crafter heavy apparently
you don't have the primal role
You have access to the one for chaos. Because you have the chaos role
so you can't access primal's recruitment channel
Hahahaha
I thought that was a recruitment channel for Primals ._.
It's early- I can't think
Can you make 6 deliveries per vender per week?
Or is it 12 total
Yep, 6 per vendor, 12 per week
Aw
So 6 to one person, 6 to another person
So I'm all done with mine :(
So close yet so far
Why is my Botanist leveling so much slower than my Miner
Like.. the custom deliveries for my Botanist gave me 2.7m EXP, while my Miner gave me 12.8m EXP at that level
Does anybody still have interest in farming HW content? I mean I assume not cause it's been out for so long plus Post Shadowbringer and now the Ishgardian Restoration
People still do it from time to time. Prime time hours for your region are the best times to try to get groups for it.
What times are those?
When people are home
There's occasionally bird and glamour farms here and there
and not working
Just throw up PF and grab a few people, dont need many
How do I do party finder?
update: apparently ffxiv specifically does not have an option to move install folder through steam
That's to be expected since FFXIV has its own launcher.
So Steam isn't downloading all of the files for you
did rain of death exist in 1.0?
the animation did at least
So, I tried looking this up on google. But:
I have the same armor glam for multiple classes, but (obviously) different glams for their different weapons. Is there a macro I can set up to apply a particular glamour to a weapon so I don't have to take up multiple glamour slots just for weapon difference?
Whats a good way to catch up in lore ? If i remember im somewhere in the middle of stormblood but havent played for like half a year
I know there's a pin in the #archived-lore-spoilers channel with a text summary. There might be one with a video summary as well, but I'm not sure.
I don't think so, but applying a plate won't undo a weapon's glam if the weapon isn't in the plate. So you can keep the weapon glamoured while using the plate on different jobs. For example, I have a plate that I use for all of my tanks, but their weapons each have their own glamour. Switching jobs and applying the plate doesn't change them.
Ah, so you eventually reach a point where you're no longer updating your weapon, so you don't need to keep re-glamming it. Gotcha! Thank you!
what race has the best glamour for samurai in your guy opinion
Hey I just reached level 80 on samurai, does anyone know what I need to do to get my relic weapon?
You'll need to unlock the Bozjan Southern Front content. If you've done that already, just head to Gangnos and speak to the NPC with the
icon at the left side of the map.
Clear the level 70 alliance raid series and do the quest line after beating 5.0
Also that ^
do the save the queen quest line in kugane requirements are you need to be done with the ivalice alliance raids these are the lvl 70 ones
Glamours aren't race-locked (aside from the starter gear), so that's kind of an awkward question.
"Dramatis Personae" starts the Ivalice questline in Kugane
Complete those first then you can get to the relic questline

how long does it usually takes an average player to go from 1-80
Is there a good guide to how to make your own macros? I want to make one for loop crafting instead of using quick craft
you can't loop crafts with macros
Ow well that's a large let down :( Thank you
@hearty crest au ra
in Sepfiroth EX, the green circle people say to avoid, is the aoe that looks like plants? Not the 4 expanding AoEs at the beginning, after that something like plants appear in the floor
Are melee skills that are on GCD considered spells?
They're weaponskills
You'll see it in the tooltip
Ok, I’ll take a closer look then. Thanks.
What's the minimum effort/people that can clear Seph ex unsynced at 80? I remember trying to just steamroll it like Ravana or Zurvan, and getting my ass handed to me.
I remember some green/yellow mech being a problem
is there any way to q up for palace of the dead without going to that guy in the east shroud
Nope
k
Same for HoH
kindve annoying
Where do you queue hoh
Onokoro
Ruby sea
There's an aetheryte there?
Yes
Nearby, yes.
Its the northern aetheryte
are emerald weapon tokens timegated weekly?
How hard is it to get a house and not be a street urchin
No
No
No. EX tokens are "how many times do you want to kill this"
10 kills for a weapon, 99 totems for the mount if your luck is that bad
Pretty hard. You have to find an empty plot, then sit on it and hope you're there when the random timer runs out.
Although the 2 newest primal mounts can't be bought
Which in this case are seat of sacrifice and emerald
You can, however, purchase an apartment which has no such time lock on it.
So I'm aware that the 14 hour stream is postponed and they'll still do a live letter in Feb. Is that the Feb announcement they were on about?? I thought it would be like an online (mini) Blizzcon paid event - hyping up 5.5, 6.0 and any other 14 related stuff.
Its just announcement stuff
That they're leaving up
SE usually always does a 14 hour live stream once a year for fun and messing around, occasionally talking about stuff
Fair enough. I don't know why I kinda assumed it was like an online blizzcon with exclusive items as well as the trailer and announcements
@faint flare fank' you
All that's left is 45 minutes of probably expansion reveal stuff
Probably trailer, job teases and stuff
Due to fanfests being cancelled and all
Can't wait for that 🥳

So I have finally successfully made my square enix account, how do I sign up for the free trial now?
for lvl 60 AST, is it mandatory to do Lightspeed ALL THE TIME, with malefic II and weaving heals/cards?
you can weave without lightspeed
- How can I weave without lightspeed it otherwise Malefic II has casting time?
- If I don't use Lightspeed all the time, doing it perfectly with weaves, am I a wipe cause in EX and savages at lvl 60?
Is there a recommended crafter job to start out with or could I just start with any of them? I'm mainly looking at repairing gear and pentamelding
malefic has a shorter cast time than recast
Malefics cast time is 1.5s
so you can weave after it regardless
and no you're not wiping because you don't play perfectly,, you wipe because you mess up mechanics, generally
nice, thanks.
if you get to enrage without too many deaths and don't make it, then you look into improving your gameplay
I mean you should look into improving regardless
but you don't need anwyhere perfect play for EX, and even for savage there's some leeway
yeah, I wanna know if I should stop everything and take my time to learn how to use Lightspeed PERFECTLY before continue attemping to do EX and savages in HW.
Lightspeed is primarily for healing on the move
Be aware that there is a sizeable difficulty increase between EXs and savages
not really but you can check balance for AST guide and learn when you're supposed to lightspeed
iirc it reduces mp cost so you do want to use it a bunch, but mostly it's for healing while moving
yeah, I wanna improve all the time, I just wanted to know if it's impossible to do ex and savages in HW without doing lightspeed perfectly
and potentially hard casting rez
Probably not
Majority of pug astros barely use it
you can probably clear savage without using cards

Lightspeed is primarily for.movemebt and your opener now you don't need itas much
it wouldn't be good, but it'd most likely work out
yeah, I got that (healing while moving), I didn't know I could weave with malefic without lightspeed,
It's a great o shit the other healer died and everyone's low button
You can weave with everything in an Astros gcd kit
Even the heals
!action aspects helios
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.

that's gonna clip
What should I learn/master to do with AST lvl 60 for savages sync in HW ? I'm just dealing with ex sync for now
Learn your weave windows
And how to slidecast
Those are super key for caster gameplay
And ofc learn the mechanics
I don't know if anyone does synced alex savage though(besides BLU parties)
Cuz mechanics don't give a shit about how good you are
yeah? a lot of healers in a healer group told me using cards was mandatory, that it was a game changer
obviously it's "mandatory" but point was, there's a lot of room
what should I do as opener ? I just do what I do all the fight
!faq balance
a lot of people who do savage are playing far from optimally
This is a better place to ask
and yeah check the AST guide in balance
Pre draw your card
This is more of a general question channel
it'll answer most questions tbh
And precast malefic at about 2 seconds before pull
Combust at pull start
Weave your plays and draws
https://saltedxiv.com/guides/ast this should have most answers
Doesn't mean you can't ask optimization questions in here
What's the meaning of clip?
Delaying your gcd because of animation lock
@frozen girder make use of manipulation and preparatory touch
when you weave too much/too late, it'll clip into the next GCD, preventing you from using it
!weaving
!faq weaving
Please try to avoid slamming everyone into the balance for every little class/job related thing. Especially if its not current endgame related stuff. Plenty of people here are equally capable of answering the questions in here @warm snow
how to accept clan hunt board
Interact with the board click a set of marks and accept them. They're in your key items inventory after
Manipulation is extremely strong
The mats for the class quest are just so annoying to get ._.
Is there any prefered crafter to start first if you're only looking to repair gear on the fly/pentameld?
60-70 give you the mats
Plus with low level class quests you could just buy the items
You'd need upwards of 4 to all the crafters depending on what job you are
So its best to level them concurrently
Or ignore it completely until you are in the end
Besides culinarian
isn't it generally going to be 5 crafts per class? 2 for armor, 2 for accs, 1 for weapon, unless they overlap some
@kind eagle have you done any of the unlock quests
Ohhhh alright
i dont think so
Depends on the item too
So it doesn't matter which one you start with first item wise
Some accessories are carpenter some goldsmith
I need 5 different crafters for Weaver
some ltw too
only hunt gives centurio seals?
there's daily/weekly bounties for centurio seals too
its best to do all crafters because it saves on inventory space, and they're going to rely on mats between all of them (barring cul which is independent from the others for materials, and alc to smaller degree, it feeds more into the others rather them feeding into it)
can find them in ishgard and kugane/rahlgr(different ones)
Heavensward/stormblood hunts give centurio seals
then you haven't done the hunt quests
You likely need to do the initial unlock at your grand company headquarters then
where to accept it
starts at your GC as mentionned
Alright, seems good enough, so just try and do all of em at once
once you've done the quest "Let the Hunt Begin!" at your grand company HQ, you can then go to ishgard and unlock centurio hunts at the forgotten knight
is weaving only called for ogcd stuff or do you say it for the BLM fire into fire 3 procs the ones part of gcd
weaving is only for oGCD stuff
a weave would be using ley lines after a scathe
cursed example
how to unlock let the hunt begin
or after a procced fire3
One more question, is it recommended to start gatherers alongside crafters?
Yes
require flame rank?
its at your grand company headquarters, as i said
So you can gather your own mats
scathe not even on my hotbar lol
you need to be 2nd Lieutenant to pick it up though
Blm has a number of places to weave
up to you, without gatherer you'll need money, but obviously if you lvl gatherer it also takes longer
After a shortcast fire/blizzard 3, after a proc, with xenoglossy or using Swift/triplecast
Just to confirm i suppose, that link with ast general guide also links to other discord about builds and such, and there's said diffrence between melds is so small it doesnt matter as much what you meld as long as you meld it (between stats you make use of), is that generally true and basically whatever i feel comfortably with it basically good regardless? 
I've been basically melding determination > crit whenever possible, if i were to overcap on a gear was switching to crit and so forth, so i was wondering if it's basically just fine to go that way and dont think about it too much. lol
The ones that really matter are skill/spellspeed and piety for comfort
not the most optimal, but yea that's fine
Other stuff is almost imperceptible
Because half the time you can chalk up crits to lucky exclamation mark streaks
skill/spellspeed i didnt bothered much because im not really sure how much for me would be comfortable yet, but i probably should try around and see what sits with me
There are suggested ones to help line up rotation/raidbuffs
Like for example gunbreakers/paladins like 2.4 or 2.42
those i havent seen then yet. 
To help get the right amount of gcds inside their burst windows and the right amount of gcds inside the minute loop of the rotation
hmm, i see
what time does beast tribe daily quest allowance reset?
!daily
It resets with the roulette reset
Only different ones are the weekly timer
And gc turn ins
when you take beastribe quest before the reset will it still reset or not?
ah i see, thank you
are there any bow/ribbon head glamour pieces?
the quest called "the goblet" involves housing i think. How can i do this quest? I swear its off limits for free trial users? or am i just not doing something right?
It unlocks teleporting into the housing wards from the main aetheryte
You're fine to do it
Having an issue I can't figure out. I'm trying to craft a "Wrapped Crowsbeak Hammer". One of its requirements is a "Steel Crowsbeak Hammer" which is sold by a Junkmongerer. I have bought the hammer but when I go to the recipe it says unselected, when I try to click it to select the hammer it says "You do not have the required material in your inventory". I've tried resetting the game and it didn't fix it so I can only assume I'm missing something. It even shows when I hover over the item in the recipe that I have two of them
make sure it's in your inventory and not your armory
