@glacial isle can you repeat the FATE to get more tickets?
Might be possible. Join FC, teleport to FC house.
trying to vist personal
why does the message notification say i get points for donating this when I clearly don't
my brother is on the trial account right now, he will be able to continue his progress if he buys the game right
yes
assuming you buy it on the same platform you bought the trial on
as long as its on the same account
That's points toward the completion of the step your world is on
if i wanted to search for help for content where do I go to?
ah
A tough question but is the pool for your first new Adventurer for your squadron smaller? I keep getting almost the same adventurers for all types of challenge logs
the rng for them is just bad
You gotta be doubly sure you buy the correct platform. If the free trial is on steam, buy on steam. If its not on steam (SE launcher), do not buy on steam
If its console, then its fine.
he's on PS4 yeah
and if he ever wanted to play on PC he could just swap over and buy the expansions on PC right?
sweet, thanks ^_^
Have to rebuy the game on PC fyi
its been fun watching an old WoW addict get back into gaming via FFXIV
yeah im aware, it makes sense
Lol. Plenty of wow refugees in ffxiv especially during WoD
Yeah haha
Well this isn't what I expected I bought a new PS4 and try to log in through my new system and it was labeled as suspicious activity temporarily suspending access what do I do about that now
What is the best way to get gear for your retainers at 70/80

I've been doing the minimum so far but I want them to get real stats at this point because 70->80 seems like it's going to take a long time
hey guys I just got a timeworn map which im ment to decipher
But i dont know how to do that
or right click on it, hit Decipher
Dont have that option
maybe need to do a side quest to unlock the ability? not sure
what is this leaf symbol next to my name?
means you are a new player
Anyone have an extra platinum marriage package? I bought one, but unfortunately I need to find someone with the same package.
I'm just wanting the mount and clothing, so we can get divorced after then you can remarry after a couple days.
You'd be able to keep all of your clothing and mount minus the wedding ring if we divorced.
is therea hotkey to reenable my map
M?
do this quest if you haven't: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Treasures_and_Tribulations
i cleared e9s but no chests , if i clear again will i be able to get loot from chests?
no
no, you get one clear per floor per week that you get a chance at loot for. And if you skip any floors (like enter E10S before clearing E9S) you can't get any loot or even a page from earlier floors for the week even if there is a chest there
can someone tell me if a fantasia potion is consumed as soon as you use it rather than when confirming the character creation changes? or can you enter in character creation and if you dont want to apply changes it wont be consumed?¿
its consumed and becomes a setting in your character menu
while you are using world visit system, can you do msq?
ah so its consumes and i can just fiddle around until i actually want the change? so i can just keep my actual appearance till i actually apply the changes?
yeah
it might be wise though to make a new character and save those appearance settings as a backup before you apply
I've had a fantasia active for like 2years
but yes thats how it works
another question, when does next new preferred world opens? i'm trying to be in the same server with my friend without paying extra
alright, thanks channy
and yeah you can use the save/load system to design your look, you can make a different char with the look you want and play them a little bit to see them in different lightning(other than the char creator and stuff) and if you like them you save it, then load it when you us ehte fantasia
nice nice thanks for replies 😄
!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.
preferred worlds are generally chosen every "big" patch but not just major patch, so I'd assume next rotation would be in 5.45
thank you for the replies!
so the pool is really just the same?
Unless someone knows something I don't then yeah you'll probably end up seeing the same people most of the time whether it's your first recruit or your eighth
For the record preferred worlds rotated this patch (5.41)
How does materia work? If you meld some on your gear, can you get them back?
yeah you can retreive it later, but at a lower chance
it seems to work pretty often for me, despite low chance though
hi does anyone happen to know how much % the damage down is on e9s-e12s
anything under the current max lvl materias should be 100% to get back, unless it's base don your lvl I don't know
can I hide my fc name over my head?
yeah I believe. But it might be just for you (players can still see it)
somewhere in character settings
ah, i wanted to hide from other players too
is the retainer in my inn?
@vital sand IIRC 50%
wtf is uptime doggy go round
All the marketplaces should have one somewhere
Usually see a bunch of people standing around it
do I need to .. buy a retainer
Talk to retainer vocate in any of the 3 starting cities
They are usually inside the market area
Probably where you use a ton of shielding to avoid doing jumping dogs during with the orbs @nova umbra
ah got it
So you can stay in the middle without getting the damage down
is there such thing as auto walk through a road? like if a quest is in a different area of a safe area and I don't want to turn left and right
just have my character walk there himself
no

alright thanks c:
There is autorun but its a straight line, not auto-navigate
You can use the chocobos as a flight path to different locations
But it doesnt path inside the city/location for you
For example, you can take a chocobo from uldah to silver bazaar on the world map and it will send you there.
I just finished the quest to unlock the Extreme difficulty of Leviathan, but it doesn't appear to have a quest that wants me to go in there and do it like Ramuh and Garuda did?
Basically just hoping I don't have to go back to urianger and pick another one up to go do it
Not all of the quests want you to go in to actually complete them
You might be thinking of hard mode for garuda and ramuh
Have to do those as part of MSQ i think
the original extremes have quests cause it's tied to the weekly and what not
and they unlock in order too
No they're right
Those quests have a requirement to complete the duties to finish the quest
idk why
So I have a few crafter at 60+ lvl but I haven't done any quest with them should I do those quest or just head into Diadem and wait for after ishgard to do them? Do those quest unlock anything? Should I do anything other quest for crafting?
Oh you said why lol
Do them. They unlock traits for gatheres and actions for crafters.
Some people dont do them out of spite
But those are some people
you can wait until you're capped if you prefer though but you'll eventually want to do them yeah
They give pretty good exp too
they all have stories, some of which are actually good
So waiting till cap is griefing yourself a little
and yeah they give good xp if you're in their lvl range
Okay I was just afraid that I might miss the whole foundation thing since when I traveled to ishgard it said 6 day left and I don't know what that mean
but the system stays after that
When will foundation and diadem thing go away?
I thought it would when ishgard housing finish or become available
they might add stuff/rework them eventually, but they wouldn't remove content they spent time making only a few months later
na they'll just instance it like all the other housing
Hey, I'm new to the game, but I've played some other MMOs before. Are tanks a thing in this game? If so, which race and job should I take?
there is the usual tanks/healer/DPS trinity
Honestly we dont know either way but its super unlikely based on past history
race has no impact on anything besides looks
job well if you want to tank right away, Gladiator(becomes Paladin) or Marauder(becomes Warrior)
Okay thank you very much. Btw should I do it now when there a lot ppl or wait until finish quest. I don't know anything about diadem and all that so I'm afraid if I wait it's gonna be like Bozja and no one will do it in case there's something that require group
Okay, thanks
All solo. No need group
people still do Bozja, it's Castrum people don't really do but they'll probably buff it to fix that
People party up for fun in there and to see each other prob.
Yeah I love Bozja but there's less and less these day and I alway see new players beg for Castrum participation. 2 of my friends just unlock it this week and it's unfortunate. Thanks again for the tips also nice pfp @whole wasp
Ah it happensn people will trickle back eventially. Eureka was like that too.
there's discords for finding groups for Castrum depending on Datacenter(same discords that did Baldesion runs usually), and SE will most likely buff the rewards a bunch to get people to run it again
Thanks. I have unlimited power in this server
it just sucks atm because the rewards are kinda shit
the actual Bozjan stuff though at least on my datacenter it's still very active
I'll go there middle of a weekday and there's like 48people going to CEs and mowing down FATEs
I swear if they just added exp for castrum and 100% memory rate people would do it more. I used Bozja to lvl all my class to 80
I leveled there last week
Can you change appearance / race / name with tokens like ESO?
fantasia for appearance
name requires another thing on the mogstation
you get one fantasia for free for completing the ARR MSQ
Oh no he's new and he already asking about fant
what about character name?
as I said some other thing on mogstation https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/character_renaming_service/
That's nice, thank you
whats the point of lvl 58 yellow script gear for culinarian
I feel like its going to get out dated super quick
Some stuff like hairstyle can be changed just with gil
and you can change your haircut/makeup for free ingame too if you just want a quick swap
I mean it costs 1000g but like no real money
Relic of the past when 60 gear was not trivial to get
so skip it?
Sure
yeah
Does this game have transmog?
You can skip straight to 61 gear
Yes its called glamour
!faq glamours
No s
!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.
cause I just got to ishgard and got my culinarian to lvl 62
it's convoluted compared to wow's transmogs though
But these yellow script items seem like they will fall behind by the end of that dlc
Ah well, wear whatever you want. Yup
yeah the 58gear isn't really worth it, you can buy blue 60 scrip gear maybe?
oh yeah HW was weird
Didnt know blue scprit was a thing
From marketboard
it is for 70 and 80 but yeah probably not for 60
Super expensive because its a pain to make
there is 60 scrip gear, but it's per crafter instead of being universal
you have to craft it with scrip materials or whatever
and scrips were weekly capped
it was such a shitty system
Anyway wear whatever until you reach stormblood and get 61 gear
If you are in free trial, browse around i guess
if you're 62, there's 61 white gear you can buy from the market/vendors(if you have stormblood access or know someone with it)
Ohwait 62 cant be in FT. Im 
treasure chest and dungeon drops
are they leaning towards the class that people use?
or the drop chance are totally random
like for example
if you run sam and blm, will the dps equipments from these 2 classes has higher chance of dropping
Random
ok ty ty
For levelling dungeons, you are guranteed one piece of non-duplicate gear for your class dropped straight into your inventory/armory chest
Unsure about ARR but i know its like that for 70+ at least
hey, does anyone know where i can buy the lvl 70 augmented mineking gear? i want it for glam but i cannot for the life of me find it in any of the scrip exchange menus
I see, me and my static want to farm old dungeon stuffs for sync'd encounter hehe
wanted to know if we should run out respective class
so it drops faster
i went to kugane since i can apparently get it from rowena's rep but....
it's just a blank page
is there no other school girl type outfit in the game besides the one in mogstation_
?
About the free login campaign thing: Do you just login normally with your account and you are able to login and play? I've been away for about a whole year now. Am I legit to join that the next time it happens?
Its in rhalgr's reach
Talk to snek lady
Yes. As long as you been gone for more than 30 days
wait, do i need to do the job quests to buy it? 🤔 because my friend can see it in the menu...
hmm.. lemme check
have you finished stormblood's MSQ?
I am so sorry for the ping, but about the second step here, do I need to do that manually on my own?
yes, i'm caught up to 5.4
no, automatic
it just means you are not on an active sub
Oh, so, just login and play normally, then? Yeah, I haven't done sub yet.
yup
Just got the game last year, played, stopped in that 30 day time.
And since then, a whole year*, haven't paid a sub/never played.
Okay, thanks.
Can't wait for the next login event then. I know the sub does not cost too much, but I am in not a position to get one, until I can put that extra fee for a game, I may have to just wait for the free login.

wait you don't have any yellow scrip stuff at all that's really weird
the only yellow scrip stuff i see are level 50 only
should be this one
I'd double check the quests in mor dhona and ydilshire for scrips and if that's not it, then it's possibly it has restriction based on class quests
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
if it's not there, then yea, its prob class quest/scrip quest
oh it's ishgard thought it was idyl
that was the npc i talked to
but yeah I'd check those quests first in case of
F
hmm.. i'll go catch up on quests then
quick question about crysta
does anyone know if it's down..? i tried buying it twice and it said it'd be there but the payment hasn't even shown up on my card... nor on my page
is there a stat for the most played job? just curious
enne u cleared yet
i haven't really touched e12s this week
ive been on na a lot helping friends
i had one lockout with a few enrages
you?
what are the failure conditions for orphans and broken blade?
i failed the quest even the sid and rielle were still alive
i want to point out that those graphs are not necessarily the most played classes in the game
just the ones that have the most appearances in savage
- with how everyone can have more as 1 job it can be hard to say
I was messing around in the minion menu and came across the minon hotbar screen. Is this for a mini game or something?
do you have a screenshot
Hi. I'm trying to replace a music piece using FFXIV Data Explorer. Changing the Eden mount BGM to ''The Extreme'' (E12S Second half).
I think I found the mount ID, but I have no idea what the ID for the latter is. Does anyone know?

can someone please help me find a new server and world to transfer to? I would like to leave crystal. I’d like to discuss this privately.
do I need the f1 keys to target teamates as a DRK?
I kinda wanna rebind my 3rd bar for more skills with em
you can rebind those to something else
or click the party list with mouse
or click the player character
is there something about the reason you're transferring that you don't want to discuss in a public space?
yes. it’s due to personal reasons. I don’t feel comfortable sharing.
you can DM me about it if you want, I'll try to help as best as I can
Something weird just happened
Items that I for sure know were in the Glamour Dresser, are now in my Armoury Chest inventory. What happened?
you sure you didn't take 'em out?
what is the problem that people ahve with crystal lol
some people don't like RPers I guess
on an unrelated note, I just remember people talking about it
I mean people still raid and such on here right?
yeah
yah I don't get it ;P
Would questions about 'House Furnishings' be acceptable here
probably
I was wonder what base for the kitchen countertop/oven he used.... xD
anything from this picture really.. even the item he used as the upper section of the kitchen haha
its definitely a combination of items, they used a bunch of floating glitches to stick them in place
If one of my characters on X server has a private estate, could an alt on Y server still buy one? I know alts on the same server can’t, can they on different servers?
Is the fully upgraded crafter relic the best tool to have now?
Or is it the Aesthete tools?
aesthete is still better. crafted relic is more like a budget aesthete atm
I've done the relic for ARM. I'm not exactly lookig forward to the others
pentamelded is better for now since we don't know the end stats of the relic
So using ARM, i should make the other aesthe tools?
Iirc, BSM and ARM can make most of them, yes?
Damn. Time to make BSM relic as well....
as someone who did full aesthete crafting in facet and skysung, its doable and isn't as painful as you think it is
but you do need a tad bit of patience
Im in all white scrips
white scrip has more cms and ctrl than facet but less cp iirc
So people in this game join a FC and then find a static group with which they would do harder content?
dang FFXIV openers are so long compared to WoW openers
fcs and statics are not synonymous
you can join a static and not be in an fc
and vice versa
Can you later watch cut scenes?
some fcs run statics as well but people who are in the fcs can join outside statics as well
yes heading to the inn lets you interact with an item called the unending journey and you can rewatch most cutscenes from there
@little swift nice thank you!
Hi, I've been been a MCH since Shb release, was previously a SAM prior. I was looking to see about branching out to a new class.. Which other DPS is easy to play?
I'm considering Ninja, but I'm not sure what the learning curve for their rotation, is it not as confusing at it looks with Jin / Chi / Ten ?
NIN is just remembering which combos to press under what statuses
Dancer is super easy to play tbh
since you're more or less trying to stuff everything into the 15 second Trick Attack window every minute
also, i looked this question up and it seems to not have been asked before:
Do any of you know if the CE edition upgrades on the mogstation give you a code or just register the upgrade to your acc? 🤔
just register the upgrade to your account
there's no way to buy an upgrade code
just a Collector's Edition Key
ooh okay cool, I'll look up these combos, hopefully they aren't super confusing
If it helps, the only button you have to remember is the last one
and ya I haven't really considered Dancers just cause their aesthetics doesn't really match what I'm going for
oh you mean 'last button' as in the Jin / Chi / Ten ?
yes
I feel like I might mess up a bit the first time
ahh thanks a lot, I'm gonna run it through here
fug, understandable thank u
@lean nimbus probably not the channel you're after. try posting in primal chat
try #603040858782040095, can also check the community finder, your world's party finder or ask in your worlds novice network or even shout in a city on your world
is it worth doing the home in the firmament questline? like does it give anything?
are there any class discords?
Not really. Closest thing is the balance discord which is the general job guide/endgame guide discord
!faq balance
I also recommend saltedxiv for class guides and some general stuff
And akhmorning for caster job specific stuff and they have a section on number crunching in this game as well
ooh so for NIN, the first part of their kit is basically you're trying to upkeep the two dots, and to turn on the huton gauge?
2 dots?
Doton isn't really kept up 100% of the time
And shadow fang has a recast thats longer than its duration
Huton gets a gcd method to upkeep it in fights later
!action armor crush
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
160 when executed from a target's flank.
Combo Action: Gust Slash
Combo Potency: 400
Flank Combo Potency: 460
Combo Bonus: Extends Huton duration by 30s to a maximum of 70s
Combo Bonus: Increases Ninki Gauge by
No
oh didn't know doton wasn't supposed to
Doton doesn't need 100% uptime
Its really only used in trash packs when it can stay for pretty much full duration
Suiton is only used about once a minute for trick attack
And only again for tenchijin/meisui
Other than that you just dump all your cds inside trick attack windows
ooh I see, that's not too bad
does anyone know when does the jump potion sale end?
hopefully I'll just naturally get used to it the more I play them
haven’t crafted since the beginning of the ishgard restoration, is it still good for levelling up doh jobs? and is there a similar version for dol now?
ah ok that’s new to me, is there a diadem guide or something? and are skybuilder mats still found in usual places?
skybuilder mats are now only in diadem not like in part 1 were it was in the outside world and if you want lvl dol fast leves are faster as diadem

thank you very much ❤️
wait are collectables not a thing anymore?
They're still a thing, but have changed significantly.
They’re specific items that are always made as collectables now
Crafter ones are in the collectables section of the crafting log
Same with gatherers in the gathering log
They’re all the “Rarefied” items.
what are breakpoints and how do they work for gathering
If you mean generally
For your Gathering stat, you want to have enough gathering to hit 85, 90, 95 percent to successful gather an item
The reason for 85/90/95 is you have skills to boost your chance by 15/10/5 percent
For Perception stat, if they are too low, some gathering nodes will have a Location Effect that make your HQ chance 0 percent.
No
my gil 
I'm wearing the 430 Belt/Accessories and the 470 white scrip gear right now (not even the highest scrip gear anymore) and i have a 98% chance to gather on the new nodes.
Yeah you only need pentamelded Aesthete if you want to hit the highest node bonuses on the Diadem nodes
Higher gear than something along the lines of what i laid out only saves you time, it doesnt unlock anything new, basically. And the amount of time saved is.....not significant
I only really used diadem for leveling
It’s a pretty decent source of money right now with everyone doing the rankings and restoration
Depending on the time of day some materials can sell for 400/500+
Hell, sometimes even over 1k if it’s very high in demand
now that i have slept on the issue, i think i know why i cant get the next HW relic quest for my AST relic, is it possible you can only have that quest for 1 weapon at a time?
Yes
That's correct as far as I remember.
that explains it, still havent gone past that part for my DRK relic
so cant progress on my AST untill i clear that for DRK or abandon it
is eden promise normal loot still limited to one per week?
ah ok, is there a chart on what to greed?
!faq edenloot
thanks
can you duo a9s unsync or it has to be at least 3 people/full group?
Duo should be good, but it’ll be slow.
And you’ll likely need to be tank/healer if duo for the faust before the boss
thank you
Fates gives a small amount, but the best way to get them IMO is to hand over gear you dont need for seals
Where can I get books of Litany?
from e10s
only savage?
yes
But it's needed to upgrade the i490 ring to 500. Seems strange.
u sure its litany?
Checking
Ah no. You got me 😄
Thought I needed Crypt Dusting - just clicked the wrong area.
Need Crystalline Glaze - so still copied factory and puppet bunker
whats the best level 60(technically 62) crafter gear I can get?

The best lvl 60 crafter gear is the crafted Ironwork series from Master Recipe IV (I think it is IV)
Not to be confused with the lvl 50 dow/m Ironwork armor series
The ironwork doh/l is, however, very hard to make (assuming you are at the same level), as it is the endgame gear for Heavensward
ahh
TL;DR just push forward until you can buy vendor gear
vendor gear from the start of each expansion is more than enough to get you through its content
/\
If you can, I personally still recommend making some of your gears by yourself and make them HQ
HQ gear can last you a lil bit longer
There’s the job-specific yellow scrip sets at 60
A bit weaker than ironworks but it can help bridge the gap
Would suggest scrip tool and vendor rest (with mb accessories if they are around the same price as vendor)
ahh okay im pretty close to stormblood. I have a weaver friend though I can probably ask to make me stuff if I give her the materials. im mostly just at an awkward gear set that I cant hit collectable benchmarks for level 60 recipes for the restoration and scrip farming
Zhloe/weekly delivery might be easier if just need some scrip
im mostly just sitting on a ton of stuff for ishgard restoration but I cant hit the 300 min collect-ability lmao I dont really care too much about scrips yet unless its the most efficient way to gear up
so guildhests? im lvl 35 and was told i should que for some all I have is a training one for handling groups of enemies but its taking forever to pop
Guildhests are completely ignorable. Whoever told you that is probably trolling tbh.
oh ok
I only know about Wonderous Trials (Khloe) so far but are there any other ways to obtain those Cracked Stellacrystals you can trade in for crafter's materia?
That's the only way
Thanks..
Best ways to get more crafter materia is to grind white scrips and do dwarf dailies

anyone know when the fates spawn for the courlegina horns
what does this mean? am i a high enough recomended level or not? it says i am above the level needed, but also says level 14?
i'm level 10
It means that if you're above level 14, you'll be sync'd down to level 14
You're perfectly fine to go do it now
if i'm too low a level, will it give a seperate message?
If you were too low, it wouldnt have let you pick up the quest in the first place
oh, oke
i get it now thanks
i didnt know there was item duribility in this game. Will gear just break eventually unless you get it fixed? Is there any way to have a saftey net so items get sent to your armoury just before they would break?
it'll break and stop giving you its benefits, but you can just repair it at that point back to 100%
That's not how it works. When durability hits zero it stops giving you any benefit but it doesnt "break". Go to any mender NPC to fix your gear
you keep them equipped
oh cool. thanks. i was worried once it breaks you lose it forever.
you don't lose gear in this game
yeah this is a nice game. no permadeath, experiance loss, other nastiness
hi guys, what do you do w the fish you catch in the diadem :o
Desynthesise after you hand them into the resource inspector!
oo okie thanks!
desynth before selling gives more probably
Yeah I’ve heard the fishers get good things from desynthing diadem catches but I’ve not tried
haven't tried yet either but just from the 1 -> x ratio on desynthing the fish into items it should be worth more, even if you sell for gil to npc
hehe okie i just tried fishing so was wondering, thanks guys!
Nothing anyone here can do for you. You'll need to put in a ticket to SE's support.
....why people put in random DOB's is beyond me
whats the golden shield icon do again?
Is there a ‘Take All’ button for retrieving money from retainers? Or do you have to type in the exact amount every time?
Just hit the minus sign
could you post an image of it? "golden shield" doesn't ring a bell
from 0
k
they'll work you through the steps, your first task would be to open a ticket and then wait for their response
if one play A9S unsynced, how importend is it to know all the mechanics? watching a guide of the fight now and for the most part, it seems somewhat the same as the regular fight
That's between you and them. They might ask for some manner of proof depending on the situation
but in the meantime im still paying for it
that means you have "Iron Will" active
even if they take months to respond
!action Iron Will
ty
Dont be dramatic. It usually takes only a day or two.
Usually less than that
weird cos its been longer
what do i set it under
id password recovery?
or login issues
I can see why you set a random DOB...
yeah cos im stupid i get that but still
anyone in balmung know which apartment area has space? checked a couple of wards in kugane and lavender, seems like theres none
wanna fix this problem not argue about it
What does the crown icon mean next to someone’s name
theyre a mentor
that they have joined the mentor program
🍺
Would summoners want Direct Hit more or Determination if given only those two options
doesn't look like it really matters
but dh gives you more highs and we all love higher numbers

Having some issues getting my next SMN job quest, I did primal burdens but unable to start A fitting Tombstone..any ideas?
you need to complete the main scenario quest "Before the Dawn"
before you can pick that up
Ah ok ty
Trying to find a better wayto track those\
Im currently doing the Crystal tower Qline to move on to MSQ
Well I wouldn't worry too much about tracking in this regard because Before the Dawn is basically the first Heavensward quest and it makes itself very very obvious. You can't miss it
Is there a mute/unmute game music button? Or do you have do it manually through the menu?

Hello! Having some issues updating my FFXIV in Mac, it told me that I have insufficient memory even though I already moved it into my external drive pls help!
what reward should i choose? 3 potions, or 3 ether? i already have 10 potions, but i thought ether was for mages and healers (they use the mp gauge, and isn't that what ether potions restore?). As a tank, i would think i don't need these.
Hello, I'm an old ff14 player trying to return to the game, however my one time password on the phone app is somehow disconnected (not linked to my account anymore), i cant link it again since its asking for that code that i can find on my account, but i cant log in to the account as i cant get the one-time password from the app, so im kinda stuck in the loop, any advise ?
@tacit walrus i don't know if this will help, but try not typing the 1 time password in? I don't use the app, so i've never had to use a 1 time password, yet i can still log in.
Yeah i tried that but its just saying that one time pw is incorrect xd
i wrote a support ticket yesterday but never got any sort of e-mail, i don't know if that normal, never had to open one before
potions are good for tanks, but they’re ultimately not too important so don’t worry 👍
but if i had to choose
regular Potions
thx
Ethers are mainly a healer/caster thing

if I do duty finder in the Firmament, will it kicked me out if it is full after I finish duty?
do any of you know if you receive an e-mail for submitting the support ticket or you just receive their response ?
WHat's the support tick about ?
Why would you want to mute the music. Imo it almost outshines xivs story. From what I heard of,it. Like the sound track is absolutely astonishing
so my one time password app is not linked to my account anymore for some reason, cant log in since i can't get one time password from the app and i cant link the app to my account again since i have to log in and get that registration password from the account manager page
Why is it not linked now? Seems weird
i dont know rlly, i saw something on october that they advised us to remove it
but i havent played for like a year or so
and i want to come back and play it :{
Isnt one time password good for protection? Why did they say remove it?
I havnt even played trial yet xd
I was waiting till I bought pc but it not looking good now, so I might just jump in,it on ps4
i rlly have no clue, i set it up back then because it was always asking me to enter a code from my e-mail
Odd. When I made my acc,it only had me use email and the password on ps4
do they still have chat support ? when i choose that option i just get redirected to write a normal ticket, which i did but i never received an e-mail that i submited it, got the ticket number tho
Hope someone can help you bud. I'm a complete noob so I have no clue sorry :'(
They are very helpful here. I'm sure someone will respond shortly :D
yea, same, thanks 😄
What time do people normally go into Eureka?
Honestly the only,thing that kept holding,me back from playing,is, people saying its more of a singleplayer rpg then an mmo.
I guess I can still grt the mmo feel from dungeons,and raids. But I'd also like to level up with people out in the world and quest together you know?
I think a lot of the quests are like solo only though? Like instanced or something
i take it skillspeed is for melee and spellspeed is for ranged damage? when it comes to GCD's? 
Spellspeed only for casters. Ranged physical use skill speed too
if I have ARR for PS4 do I just need to get Shadowbringers to have everything? i have the full version for pc if that changes anything. thanks!
As in thats a stat they can take but not something they do take
ah so spellspeed for magic, skill for physical, gochu, thanks!
If you have arr you can play without going to stormblood or shadowbringers areas onps4 but buying shb would give you what you're missing
i haven't play ffxiv since 2017, and think to return, is it worth to buy shadowbringer now ? or waiting for upcoming expansion ?
i wanna use the account i use for pc so probably need SB ye?
So buying shadowbringers will give u all content before it? Or I gotta buy each expansion?
It gives you stormblood
Starter edition gives you arr and heavensward
You literally cant buy heavensward or stormblood separately without going to resellers and sketchy sites
Ok So get starter edition then shadowbringers when I'm done with trial?
if you already have account with Heavensward activated, can you use complete edition key ?
No
i got 90002'd at the end of a dungeon just before the final boss. any attempts to relog get 90002'd before the game even loads, does that mean i cant log in at all?
Is cheaper or about same price?
or is there a way to tell the game to put me in a city
Same price
Well id just buy complete then xD
right now if i try to log in its just the sirensong sea but i get 90002'd 
Any kind of cool lore I might want to watch on YouTube, like before arr?
i heard next expansion is near, only some months away, maybe i can wait and just buy the next expansion .... ?
Or did they like erase all lore before arr
The next expansion isn't even announced and would probably be in autumn considering the delays
ah... around half year away...
Arr is like 5 years after thr calamity of 1.0. There's bits and pieces around...coils is meant to wrap up loose ends of 1.0 but theres some documentaries of 1.0
If its all the same account then its up to you
thank you :>
Ok ty vinyl, your always so helpful. Such a pro
i wonder if SQ EU accept my home country CC as payment.... back then i buy the game physically when i still living as a student in EU....
the account is EU region....
now i back home... i wonder if they accept another region credit card...
im level a level 50 bkm still free trial Im thinking about buying the game and change to redmage it said to be and easy class for new people or rather keep my black mage till 60?
Its a pretty simple class to pick up bit if you like blm you can stick to it
You'll be off the trial when you register the game to your account
So keep that in mind
do they give a free month when you buy the last game?
Only buying the base game
You get 30days registering the base game to your account
Any version you don't currently own
Pc ps4 mac etc.
oh ok
if this my account stats, will i get free 30 days when i buy shadow bringer PC ?
If you fail a craft do you lose anything?
The mats
what if i buy the ps4 shadow bringer ?
Unless you roll the like 10% to save them
Oooh that's what that is. Because I kept seeing it say I got the stuff back in my inventory
If you rebuy the game on ps4 you'll get another 30days as you're registering the base game again
Didn't know there was a % chsnce
even if i use same account ?
ah.. but i must use PSN EU huh...

im curious about how people can play the game on ps4 I mean pad have no enough buttons like spell on my bars
in the past, i use gamepad even on PC
I have duplicates of spells and still have free slots
Even when accounting for food and pots
Controller support doesn't suck its really good
You have access to 3 hotbars really easily
Which is 48 slots
More than enough for everything
Its mostly a factor of what you're more used to. If you've been a console gamer for forever, the controller will seem natural to you - whereas if you're primarily a PC gamer, it might seem mystifying. As a PC gamer myself, who has little to no controller proficiency, i dont get it either. But im sure people who primarily were on console find keybinding on keyboard to be equally weird.
Honestly i don’t see how it’s playable either but everyone says it’s good
The game is designed for controller
Ok quick question. Is rapid Synthesis really a 50% success chance? I've used it alot and the proc rate was so low I started counting. I'm at 100 uses right now with a 27% proc chance
You got 48 slots for skills
The only part i frankly dont get is targeting. Beyond that i more or less get it.
There's no excuse for not slotting everything
Ive only ever played an mmo with keyboard. But I played single player games with controller
What's the unlock criteria for Rowena's Rep in Ishgard? Do you have to go to Idlyshire first?
Never mind, found the answer. Sorry!
Yea targeting seems a little awkward
Also I dont like having to hold down Lt to use skills
Left and right dpad is just tabbing
Rng is rng
100 uses is a small sample size no joke
You can set the hotbar to quick swap by double tapping L2/R2 or by hitting L2+R2/R2+L2. It gives you access to 5 separate hotbars and you can change your hud to make them show up Bellow aswell. I'm currently using 3 hotbars on a ps5 controller just fine
Is there option to change the way u use skills on controller? Holfing down to keep bar open to use skills is uncomfortable
You can change it to toggle
Yes you can set it to go back to default hotbar after you use a skill from another hotbar
Yeah it can be really customized
Not sure if,I'll want,to customize it further then simply,changing bars to toggle tho xd
It may also be possible I'm just mad that I failed a craft with it where I got the proc 1/22 times and this isn't the first time it's happened
then a a pc player is always to be faster than a pad one I mean its faster just to press than l2+something
No
GCD means it's not
L2+ something is the same as pressing ctrl+something
Pc is no where faster or has any advantage
It's faster to select targets~
Besides pc ssd load times
Maybe except,if play has a bad controller configuration xD
as a pc person, there's a loooot of controller players that are way better at the game than i am 😂
Just be mindful of where you're placing skills. Like if you're playing whm, don't put glare on like L2+R2 hotbar
and quick q o: was the current firmament update released with 5.4, or the 5.4.1 patch~?
5.41
cool beans!! ty c:
Cant wait to began my epic journey of fetch quests for 20 hrs xD
Hero of light, I need you to deliver this letter across town. Hero of light this man needs you to emote wave at him. Lol
I just unlocked Castrum Meridianum, my clothing is currently on 40. Any way to find better gear, or any dungeons I should go to. Currently a WHM
Alrighty, thanks a bunch
Any way I'm off to bed. Take care guys have fun playing ffxiv :)
quick question: should we expect 6.0 preorder to appear with announcment in february? I dont really remember how it was with shb 
hii, i am curious about 300 collectibles for botanist, how do i go about it? im very lost
is the kupo of fortune stuff going to leave once ishgard restoration is done? also to get stamps do i have to be level 80 crafter?
No and no
You get stamps for turning in stuff at your level
And restoration should stay in some form
will the kupo of fortune stuff stay asw?
does anything i should know about become unlocked at level 15?
They should
!faq contentunlock
Your class level means less than your msq level rob
Make sure you've unlocked collectibles
Then you go to a gathering node with collectibles items and you use your appraisal skills to raise collectability before you collect
!faq dolcollect
Hi guys I have looked al over google and the subreddit and I cant find a clear answer. If I use the trail account and then I want to access all the DLC and sub what expansions do I have to buy?
How do minions work? They are purely aesthetic or they could help you in battles or something similar?
Starter edition + Shadowbringers or complete edition
Primarily cosmetic. They can fight in a RTS style gamr called Lords of Verminion in the gold saucer
Which one is better?
Is one cheaper than the other?
They are commonly sales or not? To wait to sales
IDK whats that hehe
Not super common
Im under 30 in the free trial
Gold saucer is the casnio place
You can go there at lv15
Basically a mini game area
Completed tab in the journal
No
Its a seperate teleport location
If you attuned to the aetheryte

Optional 
Also you can see more than completed MSQ
There are several other tabs in the journal
in a raid, have i to heal everyone or just focus on my group ?
24mans? Your group
Raise the other groups healers if they're all dead
Your aoe heals only affect your party
How are you supposed to get these insane numbers for crafting? It's saying recommended craftsmanship for lv50 gear is 550+. I'm in full lv45 gear and I'm barely above 200
Ok ^^ ty
I dont find it 😦
Get the Artisan gear from grand company seals
Gear stats jump a lot at endgame and also between expansions for crafting
Hitting 51 and grabbing that vendor gear is miles better than what you'd have now
Ok so I'm looking at the gear and it would only bump me 60 craftsmanship. I'm still almost 300 craftsmanship off of the recommended
How are you leveling? Leves, GC, Ishgard or crafting log?
Crafting log. I tried ishgard but I'm barely able to do the lv20 crafts with my gear
Do MSQ and visit the three other cities, then go to Ul'dah and I think the gold saucer quest is near the pugilist guild. If you can't find it in the completed section then you clearly never did it or you didn't look hard enough in the "Ul'dahn quests" section
Or it's in your journal as an active quest
If you have NN access, I'd gather materials for lv45 crafting gear and ask a mentor to HQ it for you. That would 100% bump you to required stats for Ishgard.
I can do the lv40 craft only if I get really lucky with a bunch of good qualities
Ok I'll ask on the NN, someone invited me this morning
Nice
Hi, I'm Lv55. There're some outfits I like and would like to glam, but is it better to save glamour stuff for later, since the gear changes so fast right now?
Throw it in the glamour dresser
Since glamour plates are free, you can do it now.
Oh okay, neat! Thanks!
So iy automatically applies whenever you swap/use the gear set in the city
Can you "manually glam" (just gear onto gear) outside cities?
can i trade allegory?
Nope, but can buy mats and trade those
In PF they usually say what items they need. If you need to dump, spirit extract is usually a good go-to option
oh aight thank you
@gritty oracle yes
Direct glamour with glamour prism can be done in any open world region
Sweet. Also the spirit extract kinda reminded me that extracting materis used to destroy the gear. Did people ever use it on endgame gear or valuables like poetic gear?
Only glamour plate has restrictions
Rarely
Back then when gear converting to materia will consume the gear, we usually do it to crafting/gathering gear
i seem to recall a website where i can plug in my crafting stats, and it tells me what my likelihood to HQ it is, or something like that~ o:
anybody happen to know what it would be?
Teamcraft
thats the one!! thank you c:
Thats the point, i need to visit grindania hehe
@south roost consider also checking the pins in #doh-dol-lounge they have suggested rotations you could use for ishgard restoration crafting
Then do main story
Yep
Does anyone know where to do delivery quests for seals. I have done them before but I have forgotten where to do them. It's been so long.
what do you mean exactly with delivery quests?
item delivery? at a NPC for seal? or like crafting deliveries to a NPC outside of cities?
There are grand company leves which are repeatable small quests but they aren't deliveries
Do guildhest roulette
And then there is normal crafting leves and stuff which are deliveries but don't give seals
the crafting ones sometimes require you deliver items to somewhat random places
although yeah no seals for these
yeah. somewhere around those lines
Gridania grand company if you joined them do have daily delivery quests that give seals though
I am in the Order of the Twin Adder
You're probably thinking of the grand company turn ins
yeah
So just go to the HQ in the city
I am there, and I am Serpent Sergeant Second Class.
so do the deliveries then?
That's what i am trying to do. But I do not remember where in the Black Shroud to do them.
this crystal travel system confuses me. Why can't i travel to horizon from steps on nal? i have it unlocked, it says 96 gil to travel to horizon when i check on the map. But at the big crystal its not an option.
gatherer levequest dont have option for quick gathering, is there a way to activate it?
is there a way to see my skybuilder's ranking in game?
No no no!!!! I am trying to get more GC Seals.
did you make sure to attune to the crystal when you went there @final osprey its
yes
You beed to attune to aetherytes first by interacting with it. You cant use small aetherytes to port to big ones
Use the teleport skill
is it because its in a different area?>
@final osprey you're asking why you cant go to Horizon from the crystal in Ul'dah, correct? o:
Use the teleport skill
use teleport or click on the aetheryte on the map and it should bring you there assuming you have the gold for it
the aethernetwork is only for use in the major city itself
you don't use it to teleport to towns in the surrounding zones
Yes, give him the items and he gives you seals and xp
you have to use the teleport list or map to teleport to the aetherytes outside of the city
@final osprey simply because there are a LOT of those big crystals in this game, and a lot of places you can possibly learn to teleport to c: it would be difficult to list them all out by clicking on one crystal.
however, you can teleport to Horizon by using your Teleport ability, or by finding Horizon on your map, and clicking on its aetheryte c:
i get it. so i need to teleport to the big crystal of the zone horizon is in (which costs gil), but from that big crystal i can then teleport to horizon for free?
Aye yi yi. I don't even know how to explain it.
no
the big crystal is in horizon
teleporting to horizon is always going to incur a gil fee
using the aethernet shards in ul'dah don't cost anything because they are only used for teleporting around ul'dah itself
What I am asking is, where in the black shroud do I need to go to get the quests to get the items and then turn them in to get the seals.
You don't need quests
It is dungeon gear/any gear that is green, pink or blue
Or most of them anyway
the HQ turn ins require either crafted or gathered item(first page) or any non white item for the expert delivery, if you want grandcompany leves(repeatable quests with various objectives to get seals), then it's https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Grand_Company_Levequest
That's it!!!! You found it
Is this application considered against FF ToS? https://www.ffxivmb.com/Downloads

As long as it doesn't hurt anybody or the game and you don't talk about it ingame it's fine
Big emphasis on the latter
is there any decent way to make gil without having to do crafting
Gathering, selling materia, doing treasure maps, flipping market items
Reselling vendor items, grand company items
Selling bozjan emotes/mounts, ishgardian scrip items, etc
Selling tome mats
doin your daily roulettes
oo that's the one thing ive yet to unlock
You should really unlock it asap
Its alot of passive xp weekly
And mgp from saucer challenges
Could have gotten it from lv17
ohh man ive missed out on alot then : (
Are the ShB relics complete or will there be another step eventually?
there will be another step in 5.5x
Cool beans, thank you!
isn't there gonna be another step in 5.45 too or is it just bozjan stuff
yes, 5.45 is an upcoming step
Does reassemble + bioblaster make the dot crit on each tick or is it just the initial attack?
Initial hit
baw
Reassemble spread or auto crossbow in aoe

For DoM/DoW, you can spend poetics in Rhalgar's Reach after completing the 4.0 MSQ to purchase Scaevan gear.
anyone here use ui mod? I can't run textools
So I have bought FFXIV and its downloaded on my PC. The membership ran out and I got a controller I want to try it on. So I tried to download the Free trial launcher. But whenever I try to its asking to uninstall FFXIV
thank you
Yeah but its asking to uninstall the FFXIV I already got
is there a way to break combat with a training dummy that's faster than running away or going to a new area~?
because it's not the same client, you can move the files somewhere if you don't want to have to redownload them later
How can I do that?
however note that the trial is only for trial accounts, you can't play your old characters with it
as for how, just find the FFXIV installation and move the files somewhere else
Then I just move them back when Im done?
well when you're done you'll likely have to reinstall the normal version once you resub
So whats the point in moving them?
and then you'll move your files back, and it'll redownload nothing/just what you're missing
u can right click the dummy's health bar and there should be something along the lines of reset target enmity
oh my god youre incredible, thank you!!!
can you play your free trial character when you'll buy full version?
yay
You can never go back to free trail though
you can play the free trial indefinitely, correct?
Yes
any guesses on how long this will take to fill up?
Depends how many people are submitting stuff
the best number i could find is that there is about 186 players in ishgard in general
Then probably shouldn't take too much longer
Hey would anyone happen to have a casual jacket there willing to trade :)?
is that the new one?
Yeh lol
this really isn't the appropriate place to ask
My apologies I didn't know where to ask
Ask the market board
Ahh alright sorry guys/girls
You'll only get a maximum 5 points of stats
Even if the 10% of your stats is higher than 5
Food increases stats by a percentage listed, but has a maximum it can give

Leveled up a BLU to 50 and now I'm backtracking to do the quests and get spells. Why am I not oneshotting enemies in a lvl 15 dungeon?
Are you synced
No, because I'm taking like 10 damage per hit
Blu aoes typically split damage when they hit multiple targets. Make sure you have gear and stuff
water cannon is only doing 72 dmg
How do I unlock this?
Need to finish MSQ and unlock the two dungeons from crystarium
Twinning in Crystarium and Amandesis in Eulmore
https://i.imgur.com/Prr2epV.png dont think i'm synced
a friend of mine having issues fighting ||Arch Ultimate as Estinein || i was wondering if ilvl matters
not for rp fights no
okay, um any suggesting for me past to her? She tried to just lbl him down but kept dying
is she killing the adds with the uh...roar ability i think it is
Keep the dot up, spam 1. Dive on cooldown, use horrid roar to kill adds on the bridge
Dont get hit
Simple
RP fights are just scripts where you use the abilities given in the specific moments
thank you i'll share that to her
I'll be leveling 1 job of every role, but I noticed that I really enjoy tanking. Is trying to cap all tanks pointless, especially early on?
I mean it's all "pointless", you just do what you enjoy, having all tanks let you keep tanking while still changing it up
counterintuitively, i find that you if you spend some time on each tank class, you become a better healer
some people play one class, some play all the classes in the role or only some of them and some play any role and so on
you won't be necessarily good at tanking, but knowing each tank toolkit helps tremendously when playing healer
Thanks for the answers
Ok so i got the collectable Fire Moraine but I'm not sure what to do with them/where to take them
Its for Aetherical reduction for aether sand
Ok what about Rarefied Limonite? I have that but the collectable exchange won't take it or maybe i don't know how to select it
@twilit arch and @faint flare thank you ;3
You need to be lv80 and unlocked Eulmore as collectible traders
Hmm
Got it so what can i do with it if it's too low?
Ok
