Yes pick a ward and enter it
ok, thanks. i'l look for that
Yes that fixed it and I must say that's mighty stupid :/
@south roost can go into character configuration and make it so all gear goes straight into inventory first
Are relic weapons worth pursuing outside of glamour purposes ?
there are multiple relic weapons ?
Whats a better reward choice? The bronze bastard sword (+1 dmg), or 4 allagan bronze pieces?
There's a relic for every expansion
Sword
+1 weapon damage is alot
I see
It just sells to the vendor at the price listee
is there a way to see what iLv one gets synced down to before going in a duty?

Yes, if you look at the bottom of the instance description it will tell you.
how do i use combos?
Just push the buttons that light up.
is there a way to change my au ra's face?
Anyone in Cactuar part of a decent free company? Preferably with a discord. Thank you!
Only by using a Fantasia potion.
bruhhh
a fantasia potion is the only way to change face
how many GC seal do you need for your first mount? im with immortals and level 30 and just got the wolves den unlocked but the my first chocobo quest is still showing red...
You need to also complete the next MSQ after joining the free company.
once you've started the quest you need to buy an item from your gc to turn in at the stall
You only need 300 seals though, which the MSQ will give you.
@open coral ok I have up to microbrewing i got the 300 seals and another 1k plus from doing the level 30 immortal quest for the wolves den
That will be enough to buy the key item "Company Chocobo Issuance" from your GC's vendor.
ah... so i need to go to the GC vendor first?
Yes.
Thank you!
another question... this shadowlands dlc thing on mogstation is it actually gonna ship it to my house?
Yeah, it's really just a matter of language though.
so if it says delivery download i'm good?
Yes.
cool
Check your email for the code.
What do the Gatherer tomes do exactly?
bruh why is there a shipping address if it's digital
Because the SE store covers both physical sales and digital sales, and that's just how their template is.
It's easier to have one template with all the information on it than to have different templates for different types of purchases.
They won't.
I got the digital download for PC back during the black friday sale, and they didn't ship anything to me even though I had to put my address in.
Just sent the email.
gotcha
Whats the fastest way to get a new class to level 30

how come my wishlist on the marketboard got cleared out?
does it matter which board I go to or something
no wait that can't be cus it's been the same on all of them so far..
There seem to be no leatherworker leves at the levemete? Other classes have leves. Why is that?
This is the levemete in ul dah
Guide page 1: Leve Locations in
Ahh, thank you
so idk why this is a problem now wasn't before, but my borderless windowed option is locked at 1080p even though i'm using a 2k monitor
For low level leves you gotta go to the area the class originates
What do the Gatherer tomes do exactly?
Do they unlock special mats to gather or?
Ltw is a gridania class so the leves are there
they unlock the legendary nodes
Gear, mats, books to unlock mat nodes
If im on omega server do i have to join an omega server FC or is this cross server?
Does 14 really run that much better on a pro compared to a base PS4
You have to join an FC on your server if you join one at all.
The load times are a little better on the Pro
Otherwise the game runs pretty much the same.
Damn..never see anyone from omega recruiting
No like frame rate increase or anyting I assume
check the community finder
I will ty
hi i have an super annoying problem. need to finish the " a recurring problem" questchain to gain access for " in a titan spot" which i need for the mainquest. so i played ffxiv last time 2018/2019 and in my journal i can see i already have finished "a recurring problem" but now there is no thancred in the waking sands nor have urianger more quests for me to finish. i tried to solve it via the "new chapter" mode but that didnt worked so now im pretty stucked( its also my first char so i didnt finished the story on other chars). the next quest would be " "ifrit bleeds, we can kill it" but as mentioned thancred is nowhere
is allied seal centurio seal?
do you need to finish 5.3 MSQ to unlock Eden's promise?
Did you check your active quests in your journal as well @high python ?
my flame rank is lieut now
Yes, since it's partially affected by the events of 5.3
Is my squadran able to get their jobs?
My main squad is Gld, Con, The and Rog, I want to upgrade them to Pal, Whm, Blm and Nin.
where do i start the hunt
No, squadrons don't upgrade classes.
Damn
Ah gochu, it explains why i dont see further quests, off i go to MSQ then
Same with retainers?
Retainers you can upgrade to their jobs
You'll need a special item from your GC vendor though
You can even give them any job
Er
Ok
From the Retainer Vocate, rather
Thanks
You need to go to your grand company headquarters and pick up the quest "Let the Hunt Begin!". After you've done that, head to Ishgard to pick up the centurio clan unlock "Let the Clan Hunt Begin!"
The only restriction on Retainer jobs is that you must have leveled and unlocked the job you want them to be.
Oh and I assume the retainers and squadron can't get any classes from HW onward
There are special class books for retainers that will allow them to change to HW+ jobs.
You can even give them any job
As long as your retainer has the req level
For retainers of course, not squads
Squadron update to make them not suck when
need to buy Modern Vocation from a retainer vocate in any of the major cities to give your retainer a job
@open coral yeah sure i only have to 2 job classes active. i checked also the finished one and it looks i did " a recurring problem" but as i sayed next step would be to talk to thancred but hes nowhere
I'm assuming you've finished the 2.0 MSQ?
msq ?
Quests with this marker: 
The main story
I assume you must have since you've done A Recurring Problem, but I just want to tick all the boxes to be sure.
yeah yeah im now at 2.5 the first one " good intentions". only can completed if i have " in a titan spot" which is the last quest step of the recurring problem chain
can you screenshot your trial duty list
Did you go into the Solar (the instanced area inside the Waking Sands) to check for Urianger?
urianger wouldn't be in the solar
you can pick up to 6 sets of hunt bills a day, depending on what level you are and 2 sets of elite hunt bills a week
the 50-60 bills are in ishgard, 60-70 are in kugane/rhaglr's reach
you can technically get more in a day if you find any A/S ranks that have spawned
can kill most of the 60 A ranks by yourself assuming you're 80
the lv 70 A ranks usually have trains run by hunt discords
im just lv1
Did we like just installed the game
when i say 'what level you are' I mean your character's level. not your "hunt" level
oh

I have deciphered a Timeworn Archaeoskin Map. And it says that the treasure is hidden somewhere in The Churning Mists. I am in The Churning Mists now and I cannot find said treasure.
That's what I am trying to do.
If the dig fails then you're in the wrong location
That's just southeast of the Landlord Colony
Below the "y" in "colony" on your map.
You need to be more or less in the exact spot corresponding to the X on the deciphered map
Found it. thanks
Whats the best grand company
can i hand in multiple items to the grand company hand-ins for crafting?
Whichever one you like the color or leader of best.
the grand company turn ins are daillies, you can only hand one item per craft per day
make it HQ for double reward
how do we start our wedding when it's time? it starts in 5 mins
is there anyway to give your weapons and equiptment names that register in-game? Like in Minecraft for example, you can re-name using an anvil.
no
😦
well, that sucks. Would have been a great cosmetic feature, especially for cosplayers.
You'll speak to the NPC at the cathedral and they'll let you in.
hm it's not letting me proceed but it lets him go in
Alphinaud sounds like an asshole
All their voice actors change in heavensward
is there any website with job guides like rotation etc.... Im know that are some videos but Im not english native speaker and im better at reading
yeah salted hosts guides for most jobs https://saltedxiv.com/
i cant seem to find this vendor? i'm at the coordinates and i cant finmd him
Look for the quest “Three Beaks to the Wind” in the sea of clouds.
why are there no preferred worlds with character creation available on aether
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Just have to keep trying or wait for a quiet time of day like late at night or early morning
that was very helpful thank you
This is my first time about to transfer home world, anything important I need to know? can i be in an inn or do i need to go somewhere specific?
Anywhere is fine
ok thx
so to level past 30 on alts I just spam dungeons right? does that mean the leveling roulette over and over? or normal queue dungeons
Never spam roulettes
roulette once for the bonus, then the rest
Only do once Daily for bonus
the highest lvl one you can do
Highest level dungeon
gotcha
Thats not level capped
didn't people just do the palace until they caught up?
heh?
what does filling out the hunting logs actually do?
xp mainly
Xp
ty
And work towards achievements
and GC cash for the GC log
is that better than dungeons? lol
do i get it automatically when its filled or will i need to claim it as a reward?
automatically
NP
Hunting logs is for early levels primarily
ah
before you get access to dungeons
use dungeon gear
when i'm 60 do I go grab the shire stuff or whatever
anything before that?
whatever drops from dungeons
You get at least 1 piece of gear whenever you clear dungeons automatically placed in your inventory
Ironworks/shire/scaevan give you a large increase at 50/60/70 to push you onwards for 5 levels
So, I'm wrapping up Heavensward shortly. Due to the road to 70, and having a laserlike focus on completing MSQ, I haven't really done much in terms of side quests because I'm already way overleveled (73 at the end of 3.4). However, are there any types of sidequests that are universally suggested to do to open up other types of content or engaging with the game, knowing the XP is NOT an issue on my main job.
any with 
!faq contentunlock
good list would be in these links
There are a ton all over the place, any priorities within the possibilites?
OK, thanks
Why do people stay afk at the big crystal thingys?
why not
So theres no benefits? I thought i heard somsone say there was. If not then ignore my question.
Well
Something about a safe zone?
Rested exp is granted when you log off or afk near the aetherytes
so that's a reason, though logging off also does the same thing
At least in Limsa it's the closest thing the game has to a "main" hub due to the marketboard location
@neon trellis if you want some quick money, i think there are around 2 sidequests that reward a thavnairian onion, which sells for 100k+ on the mb
Thanks
gatherer quest lvl 53, first node doesn't have it, second node has it hidden with 1% HQ. What to do? Get better gear? Jump from node to node without doing anything special until another item appears? both? anything else?
hidden items are rng whether they appear
you can also use the skill
!action luck of the pioneer
when you get it
nice,, but I dont have it yet because im lvl 53
that 1% HQ is normal? should I use Leaf Turn II each time? Or should I get better gear?
just farm the nodes for exp and use skills when you see the hidden item
better gear always helps
Low HQ rate means your gear is low
yeah, but in this case, better gear will make the 1% bigger?
HQ rate is based on your perception
one of them is directly related to HQ
More perception means higher hq rate
pretty sure theres a vendor in ishgard that sells gear
go check on that lad and see if better then what you wearing
Thats pretty low considering the Artisan gear in GRand company seals is i70
artisian gear works with gatherer?
Forger for gathering
Or is there an artisian for gatherers? I only have it for crafters
Forger gear in grand company or get some HQ gear off market
Regarding ilvl
you can only get the mh and hat from gc seals
Your doh/l gear have the same-ish ilvl progression as your dow/m
Is there any level 60 bait I can use in diadem
Lvl 53 dungeon gear for dow/m is i130
So doh/l at lvl 53, assuming you want to collect lvl 51-55 node, should aim to have ilvl 110-120 ish gear
there should be an npc at the starting island in diadem that sells bait
Just how many bloody questslines are there between praetorium and the start of HW
I'd like to undertake my class quests
80 quests
80
only 80 + you got flying
I did the hard primals
Haven't looked into tower
huh, when I look in the journal it says 30
Tells me I'm 18/30

you can have only 30 quests active at the same time and you are at 18
in current diadem is the 3 stars some of the most looked out for components?
grade 4 3 star I mean
oh, that's what that means, okay, sorry
Since I was looking at the astral era quests or whatever I thought it was the amount I had completed
I bought all gear in foundation, now my ilvl is 61 and perception is 350, it is still low. Is there a place where to buy better gear for gatherer lvl 53? Or is the only way to get that ilvl 110-120 gear to crafting it myself /market?
The NPC in Foundation should be selling i115 gear, even at NQ, 350 seems a hair low
the NPCs at foundation are selling me at max ilvl 80
Which npc is selling ilvl 115?
Just to be sure, Foundation is Heavensward Starting city
yeah
I've just bougth all gear and tools I can for lvl 53 botanist in the zone with all the vendors
I just checked the vendor for botanist gear for lvl 53
and it caps at ilvl 80
without HQ marketplace items, I think thats probably the best youll get
I am horribly mistaken then, I always thought that they offers i115 gears
I think the lvl 55 gear was
no worries
115 iirc is gear for battle classes/jobs
Regardless, this is the pattern for DoH/L gearing
Your choices are NQ from NPC, HQ from crafter (either you make it or buy from MB), or scrip gear
It becomes a lil bit less of an headache at the level 60/70/80 because you can get scrip gear
I can do HQ, but I wanna save time xD.
Is there other NPC who sells earring/bracelet/ring, etc? The ones here are at lower level than the rest of the gear
Doh/L accessories are sold by NPC , but they are very scarce compared to main/off hands and armor
Realistically DoH/DoL accessories are unimportant until you get to max level or at least until 71.
Accessories usually give you more GP
If you need more gathering or perception
The priority should be main > off hand >= chest > pants and/or arms > others > waist and accessories
Is there any way to verify if any members of an FC are online?
stupid question - is there a site where i can see all the ff14 merch i can buy that has in-game items/codes along with it? like which plushies etc.?
@agile laurel on the FC >members tab their names would not be greyed out
Ok, I have forager hat equipped, that gives perception 82 and gathering 4 and CP 3, and Recommended Gear doesn't recommends Holy Rainbow Hat, that has more perception, but doesnt have gathering or CP.
I tough Recommended Gear was always the best option. Should I stop using Recommended Gear from now on and select gear manually?
well yes, but I'm not in the FC
was asking after an FC I'm not in
oh i see. my bad
@wheat plume what's the stat of the forager
And what's the stat of rainbow
Recommended rank and recommend gear based on their primary stat
forager is ilvl 70, holy rainbow is ilvl 80
forager is gathering 4, perc 82, GP3
rainbow is Perception 83
Whichever has higher gathering will be recommended
Forager is better Holy rainbow is not better
is there anything that can affect or increase mob drop rate?
Well, in this case, I need more perception for the Job quest, but I got your point, Thxs, I'll remember this in case any similar thing happens again, to not trust Recc Gear always
Not really
!action mug
Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Additional Effect: Increases the chance of additional items being dropped by target if Mug is dealt before, or as, the finishing blow
Additional Effect: Increases Ninki Gauge by 40
Mug exists but thars on a 2min cooldown
Recommended Gear is technically correct
!item Holy Rainbow Hat
38
69
83 (94 HQ)
※ Materia Slots: 2
※ Advanced Meldable: Yes
※ Repaired By: Weaver
※ Repair Material: Grade 6 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: Yes
※ Desynthesis: Yes
※ Desynth Level: An Error occured processing Desynthesis
yeah, but I think every extra point is useful (I might be wrong), because I have 1% HQ in the node for the job quest and I need to increase that
But it is +1 perception
HQ Holy Rainbow Hat has 94
HQ Holy Rainbow probably will out rank Forager but NQ definitely doesn't
Not with +1 in perception
if you have access to the marketboard you can also buy the ore from the mb
yeah, but I need more that extra perception, because the job quest
/\
please, If I'm wrong tell me
You are correct that perception = more HQ percentage
But you are sitting at 1 percent, and the hat offers you +1 perception, to your 300+ perception stat
Recommended Gear feature, as whacky as it looks at lower level, isn't wrong
Hi! I'm a low level player that likes to gather. Between fisher miner and botanist, which one gather items that are requested in the market, even at low levels? Thank you!
Another recommendation that I have, is to look for NPC Culinarian
And see if you can get some food to temporarily boost your gathering/perception stat
Miner and Botanist, Enan
Miner and Botanist has some surprisingly decent options for pre-50 due to being used for housing items
Thanks, I'll do that, I havent done it yet
Thanks. Which items, if I may ask? Because all the items I tried (branches, logs, seeds) didn't go well in the market
Miner's Lvl 20-25 ish Effervescent Water and Silver Ore is useful even up to level 65+ recipes
thanks! I'm noting this down
Miner has stuff like Granite, Siltstone, Silver Ore, Electrum Ore, Cobalt Ore, Raw Amber.
Botanist has Rosewood logs/lumber, Flax, Spruce Logs.
Sometimes even very low level stuff like humus
Flax is a very good recommendation
@wheat plume good luck
Heh, surprisingly fitting, as you need to beat gathering RNG
Thank you all for the recommendation! Generally speaking, are more requested HQ items, right? or are these items that are needed in great quantity so these are requested even at normal quality
Higher level crafters doesn't really mind NQ or HQ
I will say both are equally demanded
Perfect. thanks again, I'm off to look into this! bye!
so i got the free trial for this game on steam, then today i bought it and now i cant transfer to the full game
what do i do?
Did you buy the full game on steam or off steam?
Unfortunately i2501 is a pretty general error with no clear/surefire 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.
Sometimes all you need to do is just wait it out for a few hours.
i'll try it on my phone
i can only get one book per week per eden promise savage right?
Yes.
Hello guys, I'm new in the game, is there a chat to find a guild/team in discord ?
The story is mostly solo with some mandatory dungeons
You can do dungeons and overworld content together bur thats alot of solo instances
it is possible to do coop, but you'll likely find that many story battles are little instances, and a good number of quest objectives will simply spawn a mob only you can target for you when you arrive
it's not designed for coop, i'd say it IS designed for solo
but dungeons and other queued content is pretty frequent
and you can obviously go round in the world together
Oh I see, so playing a story with a group of 3/4 players might be difficult ?
you'll likely have to break group pretty frequently
More annoying than difficult
i'd not say FREQUENTLY frequently, but enough to be damn annoying
and the story is made up of many hours of cutscenes, obviously in which it'd be just you
Alright, and is it possible to have/join a group with a free trial? So I can give the game a shot
you can join a party, but not join one

When the quest has a location talked about but not marked as a waypoint. Is there a way to search for it?
in the marketplace
when buying materials
Can i choose how many to buy
when i click to buy it seems to make me buy max number
You have to buy from the listings
In this case most cheap materials only have 99 stack listings
Yes there is a number listed you can manually type into to change the amount or you can use the + and -. To buy just click on the name of the item
and no, you can't only buy a portion, has to be the whole listing
those two answers are different haha
Ebenezar is talking about NPC vendors I assume
yes npc vendors
yep
i did not connect marketplace to mean the a player shop
thats so annoying
I dont want 99 of an item hahaha
Hey, guys, I just want to ask, is there ANY official/legit place to check regularly - or here, in this server - about FFXIV Login Free Campaign which is time limited for 2-4 days?
Unless you’re doing a quest that intentionally isn’t showing you where to go, you should be able to go to the journal menu > click on quest > map to see where the objective is
The lodestone always announces when free login campaigns happen
Oh, and, is it like that very moment?
Like, accurate?
The quest says "take yourself to Treespeak"
Thanks a lot, Wynne.
what is Femroe ? A vanity/race?
Female roes
Female roegadyn
female roegadyn
Shortened to Femroe
What’s the quest name?
ah thx
Sap for Smiles
That quest wants you in the north shroud to gather the maple sap
Your gathering log tells you the general location of where to find items
is there a possibility for me to have corrupted game in terms of graphics? Sometimes i feel like game is more pixelated than it should, and i have settings on max... technically.
tho im not sure if i can send screenshot cuz spoilers
Thanks
Modern Aesthetics - Form and Function from eureka pyros lockboxes @manic flare
@cold steppe that's normal, but you could try cranking up anti-aliasing
is it? In some places it really looks out of place, like idk how to name it
Is it like for some NPC clothing?
can i actually just send screenshot in spoiler mark just in case? to make sure?
Yeah spoiler image is fine
Yep, that's normal.
Why? Mostly because character models in ffxiv have a limited maximum texture space, so trying to do high detail things can make it hard on the artists and modelers
I'm mostly just speculating though but that's the most reasonable explanation I can think of
but gochu, it just looks really out of the place sometimes, i thought at previous expansions it was because before it was also supported by ps3 but eh
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
oh well, so be it then, but i wish they'd be smoother, game would be so much preetier if not for those stuff sometimes. :C
where is the npc with melding quest
@dreamy tartan central thananalan
im in central t
North east
oh
there's 3 melding quests
first one does not require crafter
and unlocks materia melder npcs
that
go to that quest
ah right the first one should be without ye
2nd and 3rd one do require you to be a crafter
ok i did first quest where is second?
Should be the same place
yep
it'll be in ul'dah

can anyone explain how to unlock flying in isgard onwards
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
if i use a fantasia and login again, do i have to edit my character? or will it just prompt me with the same "you can edit your character" statement again if i refuse to edit?
You dont have to
oh really?
Yes
yayy
You can save it for years
another question, they talk about the subcommand menu to edit, where is that?
Right click for subcommands
someone help me, i am trying to get my AST HW relic from its Sharpened Sphere of the Last Heir" form to its next one but i can't remember what i need to do, Ardashir don't have any new quests to me as the latest one he offers me is the one i did to get my current weapon
Spam instance for light with it equipped. You should have a anima glasd in your key items to see the runes
am i at that part already?
You also need 1500 poetics to purchase pneumite
dont i need to do some (hard) dungeons before that? last step i did was the one where you needed 50 singing clusters
!faq anima
if I wanna ask about something in the titan unreal fight do I ask here or on #endgame-lounge ? 
Either or
if i exit the character creation from a fantasia, will i be able to edit my character again next time i login?
You can
oooooo
Its not fully consumed until you accept the changes
In the Titan Unreal fight let's say I'm OT and have ads
MT has 2 stacks now but ads still not ded
Do we make the switch? MT takes ads and me Titan?
Still voke just keep adds positioned where you are
Adds should die shortly after enough
or is the optimal situation "ads should be ded before MT even has 2 stacks"
Ideally dead as quick as possible
Unless the mt gets hard padded with heals its not fun for them to try and survive
But pugs are pugs
Ideally yes but realistically
Usually not everything is dead
And its still fine to voke
You have 0 vulns and thats what matters
so I make the switch, stay in place and move into position once ads are down
Yes but don't get caught by the poop puddles
This is more to give yourself space in case of later mechanics
Like the 3 rows of bombs
And the double weights
and the double plumes
oh weights mb
yeah just did the fight and we were very close but it's always that part that confused me
for the relic weapon anima glass step, do you have to have the weapon equip for the dungeon/trial or just having it in the inventory works?
It has to be equipped on completion of the final boss
So kill the instance with it equipped
Best light source is a9s unsynced
Just put up a light farm party
ah thanks!
In regards to unlocking Clan Hunts, I have completed Let the Hunt Begin (Twin Adder) but the NPC in the Forgotten Knight does not have a quest for me, am I missing something?
what are the first things a person should do after boosting
look up a guy called wesk alber, he has guides on every class for every level
what happened i boosted without doing the MSQ
Then do the story
You wasted your money and didn't save time
Your levels are currently useless until you do story
The only thing your level is good for right now, is you get to do some low level dungeons slightly faster
But it barely shave any time off
i boosted so i can get a sam
after gear, what can you spend your poeitcs on?
!faq poetics
If you boosted MSQ, but didn't boost any Job, it will take you probably a day or so to grind to level 50
and which npc do you go to?
Top link
how do i boost MSQ?
Right now, you have a high level Job, and a level 50 samurai, but you still need to go through 2-3 expansion worth of quests
how can i improve chances of finding more hiden items gathering?
You dont...you can use luck of the pioneer to force their spawn
After getting HQ stuff back to back
You can
OK, resources of the same group spawn in a collection of 6 nodes, 3 pairs to be specific
Same way you boosted a job to unlock samurai, you buy a story skip
There’s different versions depending on how much story you want to skip
If you go and inspect the nodes, you can make the other nodes refresh their resources
You're just cycling nodes faster
Tales of adventure: A realm reborn heavensward?
It does improve the chance of hidden item showing up, does it not?
You're just going through then faster
What Materia should I use?
Not really increasing the rate
If that’s normal quality aesthete you should get HQ instead
Yeah
@hearty crest yep
I thought the question is improve the chance to see more hidden items
stormblood right?
Again, depends on how much you want to skip
ARR skips 1-50 MSQ, HW skips 1-60, and SB skips 1-70
Oh cool thanks for the help man
is turning in hq stuff for company workshop projects worth it? because honestly fuck crafting 50 hq level 20 mats
incredibly important and vital question:

I wanted to make a video discussing my first impressions of FFXIV ( Final Fantasy 14) from the perspective of a black desert online player. These two games are drastically different MMORPGs yet they both fall under the same genre. So if you are looking for a new game to play take a look at my video and I will discuss my thoughts on the game. Als...
might not even be ff14 tbh
thats papaya
Can't believe I didn't have this one up already! Clip showing the decorations in all the major cities and their residential areas too. Enjoy!

So, I just completed my first run of Eden's Promise and I needed on all the Early Antiquity armor.. I feel like I wasn't supposed to.
I should be able to desynth that as a level 7 BSM right?
Mostly because I won every single piece I rolled for.
yes
@frozen girder iirc desynth isn't unlocked until level 30
oh :(

what do people mean when they say its too late to get into bozja?
In order to progress the questline, you need to do a specific quasi-raid FATE in the open area.
It requires a good many people.
And nobody wants to do it.
Referring ti castrum
how many is a good many lol?
The dungeon inside that needs like minimum 20 people
jesus
More people will do Castrum closer to 5.45
There's discords for running it these days even though its not hard
What's the best food to buy for Summoner? I know they need crit the most
okay
what level gear desynths into Battlecraft Demimateria III?
how do you guys recommend watching on youtube to learn a class
watch weskalber
/\
does weskalber also have a guide on how to make you ui more optimal
is there a way to import someone's ui
So I'm trying to get quest aether currents in stormblood, doing the fringes, and I'm missing one, it's almost certainly the quest "the hidden truth", and that it's given by serpent marshal brookstone, but he doesn't have it, he does have "A good role model" and "gross encounters" but neither of those award an Aether current.
So idk what to do, because I don't think those quests unlock that one.
and there are literally no other blue quests anywhere in the fringes.
Unless it's in the one small blip I haven't explored I'm lost.
Checked the Reach as well, no blue quests there.
I need help with the Feast
Is there any discord group for the Feast?
I want to try and get a title in there
Basically anything at or above level 50
A lot of Odin's trial stuff desynths into it iirc.
Thx
Is there a minimum amount of time that has to pass before a house becomes buyable or is it any time after it becomes buyable the hidden timer can go off?
to unlock glamour do I have to first do the absolutely glamorous quest? on the website it says it's the follow-up to the one that gives you cast glamour ;P but I only see this one
!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.
The ability is unlocked by If I Had a Glamour
what do the ! and elephant symbols in treasure map dungeon does?
Spawns a boss thats guaranteed to spawn a mini event, like trickers, the onions or keeper. The golden "!" also changes the next spin to majorly be golden "!"
Or atomos
what is a RP club?
Roleplay club
do people make money off of RP clubs?
Depends
by RP you mean ERP?
Completely random. Can be as short as a few hours or even longer than 2 days.
the concept of RP just does not make sense to me
Some people just generally hang out and do normal rp
They act out their character with their own backstories
Ah, ouch. Time to camp all night.
i need to watch an example of RP to get it
Its basically writing a story with others
So I finally got a decent mouse but now when I play the game and move my mouse anywhere the fps drops drastically. Like down 20 fps or something crazy like that
Can the trail account become a machinist?
Yes
cool thanks
Does anyone know how I can stop the fps drop when I use my mouse?
what a fast way to get gil
without crafting etc.. I'm so broke cant even pay to travel
Can I buy stuffs for my character even tho my sub is inactive, do Ibstill get the stuff. Cause my sub is about to expire and I dont plan to extend it to take a few months break
For example I'd like to buy fantasia now even tho sub expired to have it next time I sub or log in, will I still receive items that I bought while inactive?
@abstract vapor I'm broke too, i have few crafters, but that crafting shit is so expensive if u dont get ur own material xd
maps give a lot in a short period of time
I currently also dont even have for teleport 😂
Do a dungeon or roulette, then grab loot, and then walk to the nearest settlement and sell them to NPC
how do i move abilites on hotbar
hahha gil is an issue cause I was dumb porting to any town even 2m away from me lol
Drag them
Same lol, I even teleported if the aether was on higher surface lol
I was to lazy to go up so I just end up teleporting
finish wondrous tails for a lv 80 one
And paying 180 gil
I pay 900+ sometimes cause lazy af
Teleports aren't that much
i can't drag them for some reason
I haven’t paid for a teleport since like the start of stormblood. I do my weekly hunts for currency to buy the free teleport tickets
Click the lock icon next to hotbar 1 to unlock it
The Adventurer in Need bonus also gives a decent amount of Gil if you’re super desperate
can you buy teleport tickets with nut sacks?
Nope
not nuts, the seals from previous expansion
ah okay
Allied seals and centurio seals
that's a smart way to save gil, never thought of that
people usually spend them on venture/teleport ticket but teleport ticket usually worth more hehe
I'm still doing my completionist thing of buying all minions/mounts first
I get more than enough ventures from GC seals earned from dungeon gear
and beast tribe quests
I started desynthesising stuffs and now questiong if it's worth the effort -_-
back then i can just turn in get gc seals, get items and sell them
The rarer items are worth
but now the variety of items has increased cause of desynthesis and the profit is marginal
these are the ones they're encouraging us to report for RMT activity right?
stupid question i think
Thats rmt bot yes
kk
it's pretty obvious I just really don't wanna get in trouble for reporting a bunch of people that weren't actually rmt bots
but I always feel the urge to report them
xD
you don't enjoy reporting people?? despicable!
i always have my obs ready when my crime sense is tingling xD
Do you have to run Emerald EX 10 times for one weapon?
or 1 time if it drops
every kill drops 1 weapon, but if you don't get it, yeah 10tokens will buy your weapon of choice
So like 1/15 😄
and 99tokens will buy the mount eventually
it drops 1 weapon + 1 token
99!!
10 token = 1 weapon of your liking ^.^
I just cleared it once and went to go get my weapon hah.
yeah have to run it some more to get the weapon unless you get lucky
or you can get the mount drop as well with rng..

would there be any reason i cant get /playtime to work? my friend who is with me can and i cant
#kupo-bot-spam
#kupo-bot-spam
Its altlvlguide
yeah it probably is showing in another window/not showing up maybe
Any reason to save my Tier 1 Materia?
If you ever want to do arr relics
I'm getting a crap ton of it from leveling my crafters
99 leather crafted = 84% spiritbond
try your marketboard :/
when you first buy an apartment...is it just empty when you buy it?
Yes
If I have several gear sets for different jobs is there a easy to update them all at once?
might aswell just stick to inn rooms then
Gotta go 1 by 1 to update
ok thanks
not much of a point in an apartment if you just spent 500k for an empty box
The draw is you can decorate it how you want, with a few npcs, bell, pots to plant and access to stables
And furniture storage

That, and it never goes away, which is more relevant now.
Thing is, you spend 500k on the apartment then probably gonna spend another entire 500k on 2 pieces of furniture.
Housing is a gil sink as usual
Or just be a crafter yourself and spend 0
Spend time instead of gil
because the housing market is mainly made up of the rich so I wouldnt be surprised if even basic furniture goes for 100 thousands of gil a piece.
Or do Ishgard stuff and get tons of adorable CARBUNCLE stuff!
There are NPC vendors that sell basci furniture
There's alot of cheap furniture
there's a lot of cheap furniture cause it comes up all the time from venture
That Carbuncle is like 2 gil
I constantly get crap from retainers and then check the price and it' slike 2k and I can't even be bothered listing it
although once in a while a table will be worth 100k or whatever
The housing furniture NPC in the Apartment building sells a bunch of stuff for like 5k each
Though it’s always good to check the MB first for cheaper listings
Skill/spell speed and build in class speed buffs
have they added a 24 man since puppets?
Skill/speed spell doesn't reduce your gcd by too muchx you'll have to really stack it which is a waste
next major patch
so far ive looked through my servers market and most items seem to be priced at 30k+
ah ok just came back and was wondering what the current alliance was
gcd?
gotcha
we're on .4 patch so last Eden raid was release but last 24man will be .5, around march or so maybe
How do I increase skill speed?
Get gear with it
gear
Each tier of skill speed reduces the gcd by 0.01 second
Many jobs dont want extra speed
Do both players need to buy a package to get married?
Other jobs want a specific amount
it's a stat on gear, but you won't see much improvement with gear especially early, for the most part your GCD is tied to your class, a few melee classes have faster GCD(MNK/NIN/SAM) but the rest is about the same
Yes, and the same tier package
Ty
you'll get a lot of oGCD abilities to use inbetween buttons that will increase the pace of combat though as you level
There's patterns to using skills that output the optimal damage over time. Too fast of a speed can get things out of sync, which actually makes you less effective over time.
youll likely be sacrificing a lot of other stats that youll need to try and increase speed
hm. I'll probably know more as I get far. I'm just a level 6 tbh
don't worry about it for now
combat will feel slow until you get more stuff to use
as you level you'll gain more skills to use in between your long skill cooldowns
does this game have text to speech for quest lines?
There's only voice acting for major scenes
there's some voiced cutscenes, but many are just text only
Damn
Primarily
no. but voice acting will be more common as you get to the next expansion
also yeah if you're only level 6 dont worry about speed. When you're high level you'll have a lot of double weaving and Off global cooldowns to use that will make your combat feel alot faster.
Khloe is the only custom delivery person in HW/ARR right?
also in general every class feels kinda......eh..... under lvl 50
how much more complex is dark knight compared to war? at lvl 80
Not much really
DRK is probably the simplest tank nowadays
Just small mp management to use TBN for busters and hitting your stuff on cooldown
the mp management is really "don't go under 3k mp", which isn't really too hard
People call DRK edgy warrior cause they're really similar
Is Palace of the Dead the best way to learn how to tank if I want to do gunbreaker? It starts at 60, but I want to introduce more mechanics and actions over time, not start with all of them right at once at level 60
is there a guide to graphics settings? like a comparison to what the benchmark looks like? like how nvidia does it with some games
Hell no
Potd is the worst place to learn a job
Nothing lives long enough
Just do dungeons and read your skills
OK
Mobs die too fast in POTD to learn a proper rotation
potd is terrible to learn any class, but if you want to learn the skill as you unlock them, then you could solo potd I guess, at least you'd be forced to press more than 2skills in a row
POTD is hell i dont know why anyone reccomends it.
What is the recommended sks range for GNB?
When i did BLM in PoTD i didnt get to cast a single spell
Everything died before i could
but mostly you can go to a dummy, and read your skills in order, test them, see how they work and everything should become fairly obvious
Because of the forced downlevel, I thought it might help, but I've never actually been in, just reading about it.
Wow you admitted to being carried! /s
Its painful
Gnb BiS lists are ranging from 2.4 to 2.43
its not as fun as its advertised
Scathe doesnt count right? 
the only purpose I can see POTD is leveling 1-20 fast
🤢
I don't think people say potd is fun, just it's the easiest way to lvl DPS since ther's no queue
Its also the cheapest
it is fun solo though as a challenge
Since you can go from 1 to 51 naked
even leveling as a dps, i chose dungeons over POTD.
but like for leveling when you're just grinding 51-60 non stop with 0 challenge and enemies dying in 3secs it's horribly boring
something about potd just,,,hhhhhhh
Its mindnumbing yes
I would rather watch paint dry if im honest
2.40 or 2.41
Thanks for the info
Once I hit level 80 on my primary job (Scholar) in the middle of stormblood, is it a waste to continue using it? should I level up other jobs while switching back to Scholar to lower wait times on dungeons? Or is it not so bad on Stormblood/Shadowbringers dungeons/raids?
what should I be spending my allegory on once i no longer need equipment?
materials to sell
Tomestone materials to sell for Gil
For more info i suggest go to saltedffixv they have a lot of guide for classes
which ones? or are they MB based
The ones at the top of the list, ending with spirit extract or horsetail
Healers and tanks will still have fastest queue time. Whether you want to soak msq exp on another job is up to you
But yeah, check MB first to see what sells the highest
the 20 allegory ones
People exist who only play one job
kk
prices dropped a bunch on most of them, but spirit extracts tend to hold pretty well
since they're used for the highest tier potions
bryns MB is pretty wack tbh
I play one job. Its just that I keep switching on what I like so I cant find that ONE job to fucking pla y
at least that's how it is on my server but I'd assume it's roughly the same everywhere
once in a while one of them will spike up though
BUT I THINK....FINALLY ive found that one job...that is warrior.
does cards rotate mean the corners rotate?
It means people on the CARDinals rotate
cardinals=north/west/east/south, so not the corners basically
fishing is pretty optional
Corners are intercardial
Just do it. Go ocean fishing
oh ok thanks
It opens on the hour
ehil tou is just a crafting delivery correct?
both 😂
oh sick
Like any other delivery person
ok, it didnt seem like it but i havent done his yet
/timers -> custom deliveries -> ehll tou
Will it start at some point
amazing if it popped at this time tbh 😂
On it's own?
Yes
Do I need to worry about upgrading equipment during Stormblood until Scaevan unlocks? Or will the quest gear be fine as upgraded from Augmented Shire?
Every 2 hours yes
augmented shire is until 65 hehe
above that, must upgrade unless you love an extra challenge ^.^
Longest queue I've ever had was time out at 15m.
Use whatever dungeon gear you have until 70
Because thats the max
The ship automatically goes whenever it fills or 15min times out
Ik, time out
It doesn't hurt to afk on the boat right
At least if it's not full
I might have to go eat dinner
_>
If its not full,not really
If it's full then I get I wouldn't contribute to the % buffs
But if it's not full then I am not taking away the slot
what's the highest lvl of materia?
8 rn
quick question, can a lvl 1 paid sub without doing anything else goto a resisdence?
what do you guys do with heavensturn tickets
Discard them
