You are not going to make 7 figures per day, but what you are doing is be self sufficient and build up your fortune
things like the HQ items for the level quests?
@eager fog 535 weapon, 530 armors/accessories
pretty much market flipping seems to be what all the guides say
You have to check the MB to see what sells and if you can make it. For example I made a lot of money early selling low level Toadskin Rings and Boarskin Belts for 20k each
What Needa said
Sometimes, you can even make gils from processed level 30 gemstone and metal, because a level 70 crafter might need one, but they are too lazy to make it from scratch
The key here is learning what sells
i flipped a random VII materia i bought for 7.5k and sold it for10k which was still 1500 less then the lowest
it's a lot more efficient than selling the junk I didn't need haha
I want to say that to be Gil efficient you want to level all crafter and gatherer together
there's next to none of the HQ items for level quests on the board so those would probably be good to put up
If you just level goldsmith and Miner, you will soon need to start paying other crafters for materials you could have made yourself
I have Botanist and Goldsmith to about level 15 but didn't focus too heavily on them
Leatherworker, sorry
why do only some of my diadem items get approved?
Multiples of 5
oh thats it? lmao
for ishgard rankings
what time is the cutoff for turn ins to count toward your score for the day?
my ranking score is like 40k points under what my in-game score looks like
and i suspect it's because i turned in all my stuff after the daily cutoff, but the rankings don't update until 2 hours later
just want to know so that I don't miss the final day's turn in cutoff
how can I get the emote for kissing that shoots a heart?
how much?
few dollars
dote is $2
all emotes in mogstation are only obtainable in mogstation paying real money? or is anyone there that can be obtained in game?
they are all unobtainable elsewhere
everything on mogstation is completely unobtainable elsewhere EXCEPT the dyes
the dyes have an in-game equivalent that is extremely rare to get
no, the rankings on the skybuilder site updated
the cutoff for daily turn ins, I think, updated 2 hours 30 minutes ago
I think
I suspect the cut off is only a tad earlier for tallying purposes
i don't think so since I turned in like 40k points maybe an hour or so before the rankings updated
and those 40k points don't reflect on my ranking today
Hmmm maybe it cuts off at 10pst then because that's the time that the ranking season will end on the finally day
So it probably tallies at that time
hmm 10pst would be 3 hours before
ok
i'll be extra sure to get all my shit in before then
thanks
Crafter ultimate is quite the challenge until it clicks
i'm pretty sure at my current pace I've secured top 5
Don't burn yourself out though
for this thing i won't

it's just like a giant puzzle
i'm actually enjoying myself doing expert crafts
so that's a pretty big advantage over all those people just spamming a macro
Does crafting a high quality item give more exp then craft a normal quality one?
i'm like 80% sure it does but I literally haven't crafted for EXP in forever
Yes, the act of filling a quality bar gives more exp based on amount filled
but either way the exp from actually doing the craft is pretty small compared to the other leveling methods
The closer you are to max the closer to max exp reward
Okay so the actual result of the craft doesnt matter just the bar
I mean HQ or NQ
Hq is a bit more exp if that matters to you
Or close to hq rather
Guaranteeing it would be max exp yield in that sense
do only the fourth of each savage raids have the big bombastic changes from normal (neo exdeath, god kefka)
No
Im starting level crafters from level 1 for the first so its all a learning experience
Well door bosses aren't always the only difference in savage raids
But typically the final floor is the one with the extra special additions
Its more often the case that a savage fight is designed first and then its dumbed down for normal
I want to buy summer gear (bikini), I've read Calamity Salvager sells it. Does he?
the calamity salvager only lets you buy untradeable things you've owned before
how can I get Lunar Summer Halter ?
you need 2 of these https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Cascadier_Uniform_Voucher you can get these for archivement token
What's archivement token ?
oh sry the ones I linked is for the black halter stuff, the lunar stuff is mogstation only now
how to get that archievement token? And then which NPC exchanges them for the gear?
I'm fine with the black one
but how can I get those archivement token, and who exchanges them for the gear?
Jonathas
Achievement tokens are passively earned as you complete achievements
You get them when you speak to jonathas
where is him?
the archivment npc is in old gridania iirc
And buy them from his vendornshop
Old gridania apkallu falls
Mih khettos amphitheatre
nice, I never talked with him, so I suppose I can get at least enough of those tokens for all the time I've played (I hope so)
The vouchers are traded in mor dhona
first jonathan or first mor dhona?
with jonathan, should I exchange achievement or accept achievement?
I feel chosing the wrong option could make me lose all
you're not going to lose anything
just go down the menu and check all his options
you might get some shit you didn't even know you had
Exchange is his shop
do retainers sell stuff even when you are offline?
Accept is the bonus cosmetic rewards certain achievements have
whats his currency? that round brown thing
Yes they sell stuff for up to 7 days of not accessing them
sweet thanks
Those are achievement tokens
Hello! I want to start playing FF14 and I'm new to it. Since free trial was moved to level 60. Does that mean I still have to buy basic game before buying latest expansion?
Its like a 50points to 1 token ratio or something
overmelding - so I have cryptlurkers and am going for eden savage gear. Can I overmeld either of them? Is it all blues cant overmeld
Yes you still buy the base game. The trial is a trial you don't own anything there
If it says advanced melding forbidden you can't overmeld
I got only a minion, orchestion roll and some gear?
where does it say that
Dunno why but I already had 57 tokens
Typically only crafted gear is overmeldable
gotcha, thx
ahh i see it
How do I retrieve more tokens, or do I get them automatically ?
You get the tokens when you've accumulated enough achievement points and speak to jonathas
ok, he didnt say anything about giving them to me, so I suposse I got those before, weird not getting anyone since MSQ35 until ending of HW
You'll have more tokens than you'd need anyways because there's not that much at his store
what should I exactly do to get more of them? Or are those only at the beginning, or at end-game content?
Just do lots of achievements in general
The “easiest” ones are leveling up classes and doing the story
is it normal to not have earned any token in all HW and lvl up 15 classes up to lvl 60 ?
he says anything special when u got more tokens?
Yeah he has a line whenever you hit a threshold for more tickets
And gives them to you automatically
In the achievements window, in any part is showed the total number fo my achievements?
The top left should have your total points
If I understand correctly, 20$ for base games (plus you get 30 days of game times) all next 30 days is 13$ per month. Also end game content is locked behind 40$ dlc which you have to buy once
Yep
who in mor dhona exchanges tokens for the summer gear?
not exactly only "end game content", shadowbringers includes stormblood, 4 more classes, and shadowbringers itself
it's not exactly "DLC"
it's two expansions worth of content
So what's max level with base game?
free trial is 60
starter edition is 60
the content in the free trial is effectively the exact same as that of the starter edition
So I can play until 60 and then just buy complete edition? 
the starterr edition allows you to trade with people among other social actions
go up to the tent where you get poetics gear, it's the person on the left
That's a lot of free content
I'll play free trial if any time in these 1 to 60 I decide that I like the game enough, I'll just buy starter
marketboard (auction house), guilds (free companies), the aforementioned 4 classes, being able to invite people to parties, retainers are all restricted out of free trial
And then we'll go from there I think
just be aware it's pretty much a single player game
you can't touch the marketboard or join any guilds, and to invite people to parties you have to get someone else to do it for you
The black summer gear is exchanged for Cascadier Uniform Voucher, not for Achievement Tokens
Is there a way to exchange achievement tokens for cascadier?
Thank you - Thank you I'll play for a bit and see if I like gameplay in general (which I think I will)
you buy Cascadier Uniform Voucher with the achievement tokens
where?
Anyone here have an issue with the store.ffxiv? Everytime I try to login it says it encountered a technical error.
they're under "exchange achievement certificates"
where is that? in the menu? with a npc?
its...from jonathas
as you were told before
you buy the vouchers from jonathas in gridania with achievement certificates
oh, I only got the tokens from him and went to mor dhona, ok, going back to gridania
and then exchange the vouchers to aelina in mor dhona

So changing hot bar to toggle isnt as convenient as I hoped
You cant target monsters when its open :(
Weak sleeping potion, spine drops, etc what cases do you use them?
can you get back the items you buy of the mogstation somehow if you discard something?
Spine drops are useful in dungeons and raids that give you paralysis
But in the time it takes to go to your inventory and use it, the paralysis has worn off
You can move it to a hotbar
So you can just click it on the hotbar
or set a keybind to it
And besides, some raids / dungeons give you 30 sec of paralysis
So keep it?
and if your healer is disabled, you can always keep spine drops as a backup
@onyx kiln no
You can use a potion while paralysed?
would it be lore friendly if I made a Raen from malaguld that followed the Xaela naming conventions?
You can do whatever when you're paralysed, including drinking potions
From where?
Paralysis just stuns you briefly at random intervals for its duration
Are keybinds good? I dont have experience with them
the xaela tribe malaguld
Well, it's how you use your abilities isn't it?
Since you play on a controller, you don't really have another option I'm guessing
Ah so simply having an ability slotted is called keybind?
Having a key bound to some use, yes
Another quick questions, Should I buy game of steam or official launcher? is there a big difference?
having an ability bound to a key (aka 1, 2, A, B) is having a keybind
I don't recall ever seeing anyone from that tribe in the game so there isn't precedent I guess but I suppose it'd be okay for the lack of anything saying otherwise
@copper plaza doesn't really matter that much the main difference is that steam locks you into steam
You'd have to do all your subscription management and purchasing through Steam
so if you are someone who doesn't buy expacs at their release and prefers to hunt for deals, steam can be a bit meh in that regard
steam users still use mogstation
You just get the option of using your Steam Wallet
but it's still through Mog Station
Servers are different too right?
nope
no
same as pc
Oh really?
everyone plays on the same servers
Actually yeah, excuse me while i talk outta my ass
? im wearing the recquired gloves
the whole game's crossplay
Oh nvm, guess I'm buying game from launcher
Talk to the lady
You have to do it while you have a certain buff up
That talking to her will get you
Same with pretty much any other Ixali quest
okay ty
What about regions on official launcher they're separated right? Foe example if I buy EU version of the game and my friend buys NA, we can't play together
you can
Depends on which datacenter you choose
Sorry, for so many questions. I'm a former WoW player and this system is so different
so if you're in EU you can play on NA servers if you wanted to
but the ping may not be that great
I'm actually from South Korea :D
It doesn't have region lock right? I can buy game from any region I want
Oh damn
They're behind though
and from what i understand of people moving to SK and playing form there, they have to use a vpn to initially connect to the non kr server
on patches
so if you wanna play on global, can't think of a better name for it, you're probably going to use one
From what I remember, KR servers got 5.3 when everyone else got 5.41?
Well not sure about purchases but I did play free trial (when it was up to level 15) without VPN with no problem
And ping was decent as well (around 130-150)
oof..
well, you should double check then the region that your trial's account is under
It was EU
then you need to buy an EU license
Glad I chose EU over NA, since it's somehow cheaper there
Is Merylb’s coat available to buy/craft
don't believe so no
i think there's a maelstrom GC coat which is similar, but by no means the same
How many days will it take to finish ShB beast tribes quests?
storm lieutenant's set is probably as close as you'll get
and yes i'm aware this doesn't match worth a damn but emphasis on 'as close as you'll get'
Before anyone freak out, this series only has a hat, and the shirt
No gloves, pants, or boots
Is there any purpose in making skysung tools when the land Saint tools seem to have identical stats?
So uhh after 5.3 I have to ask
Why did elidibus like to hang out on the moon
Was that just his thing
skystools are going to be updated in 5.45
:0
so likely to be better than landsaint
They might be or they will be 😮
don't ask me specifics because idk but ||if we're saying Hydaelyn is the Source, Zodiark is the moon||
Is land saint the last white scrips gear we getting then
Yes, landsaint are the last set of white scrip gear
plus also it does look dramatic yes
its hard to say whether skysung will be better since this is the first time we've gotten crafting/gathering relics that have actually upgraded over the course of the expac
Mmm
Yeah last time we had crafter/gatherer relics was ARR, but IMO those don’t really count since they were basically the only tools at level 50
I started working on upgrading sky tools but then I was like
Hmm this is harder/more time consuming than getting white scrips

i am assuming that eventually skysung will be comparable to a pentamelded aesthete tool
or slightly below it
It seems like a lot of effort and time for something that’s not really better
Like landsaint is basically free
Can one character be every crafting job?
yes
I think so. Or that would defeat the purpose of making them able to be all classes
gotcha!
Is there a general "most useful" crafting job?
I noticed multiple jobs are needed to make one item
its strongly recommended you level them all
since one, it'll save on inventory space since they use the same gear (barring the main and off hands) and two you will often need materials from the other crafters
so unless you're willing to spend gil to buy the materials you can't make, it'll be less costly if you just craft everything yourself
For example, to make a body armor, you might need metal, leather, fabric, and glue
Which comes from blacksmith/armorer, leatherworker, Weaver, and alchemist respectively
gotcha

And to make said metal you'll probably need miner
And to make the fabric you'll need botanist
And for some glues you'll need fisher
It's a rabbit hole...
hi all! quick question so im planning to buy a comp. edition of shadowbringer EU key near end of this month and im not sure which one should i refer to my se acc. is it region or country/region.
Region
thanks!!
does the blue bit of the bar mean i will get free xp if i stay at the big crystal or log out by one? Is that how the bonus xp works?
blue bar means that the stored bonus xp overflows because you're too close to the next level
it gives you a (i believe) 1.5x xp multiplier until it runs out
it's also percentage based, so to use it optimally you'd use it on a higher level class
What's the halfmoon symbol mean
thank you
it means you are in a sanctuary, where you'll gain more bonus xp if you log out there
you also won't have the 20 second timer stopping you from logging out when you do so in one
Okay. Cool.
sanctuaries are cities or near aetherytes
Thanks.
Hey, is there a way to disable fellowship abbreviation from your character nameplate?
If you mean your free company/guild. There is a setting to change that.
Take note it only affects your screen
ah yes, that's what I meant
It should be in character display setting somewhere
Can you also tell how to get a title below the name?
Its a function of the title
Not a seperate function
there doesnt seem to be anything like that in character config
Some titles are above, some are below
Yes. I don't have any titles. Did i not earn any yet or do I have to do something?
Character config > display name setting
You earn titles from many stuff like sidequest,mainquest etc. You can set your title in your character profile
@whole wasp I only found an option to hide my name along with free company name
Ohman. I think its all or nothing
Okay. Thank you very much. @whole wasp
@whole wasp damn that's unfortunate, ty tho

When does a new ‘day’ start for the ff14app? You get one kupo nut a day for logging into the ff14 app.
@whole wasp There was actually an option in SimpleTweaks for that, silly me
I have no idea but i assume its daily reset.
!reset
0 Days, 2 Hours, 44 Minutes, 1 Seconds
0 Days, 7 Hours, 44 Minutes, 1 Seconds
1 Days, 19 Hours, 44 Minutes, 1 Seconds
1 Days, 19 Hours, 44 Minutes, 1 Seconds
6 Days, 13 Hours, 44 Minutes, 1 Seconds
6 Days, 7 Hours, 44 Minutes, 1 Seconds
6 Days, 0 Hours, 44 Minutes, 1 Seconds
i guess, it's time to re-learn everything from zero.... back then white mage isn't that "green"
are questions regarding subscription purchases allowed here? because boy did i probably mess somethin' up today
Sure
Bruh
Two grade 3 materia
Hahahah
O.o I'm riding a chocobo porter and I swear I heard this song before from ff15
i've bought a sub + expansion for US, which i am in, but realized i started my trial on EU since i suppose i thought i couldnt play with my friends otherwise (they're EU, still unsure on that)
basically, i realized that folly but i do not wish to waste my money, but is it possible to create a new SE account for myself to play on my intended region, with the things bought? even then though, i've discovered a strew of more problems which is... something
If you have not input your code yet. Yes you can make an NA account but your character will be gone.
You can play in any region except china and korea
Which have their own system.
Making a na acc would of been best as u could still choose whichever data center your friends was playing on
Hi, Anyone has a bis for crafters ?
There is another option which is to swap your na code for an eu code
But we cant help you here for that
Prob have to google around
If I'm not mistaken account does not limit,you from playing with yiur friends
Sa,EU, or us
Try #doh-dol-lounge
Should be one in pins
bis is a matter of opinion. Though its going to involve a fully pentamelded Aesthete set of some description, in which CP is maxed on every piece.
Did ff15 put the chocobo porter song in their game? Or did 14 get it from 15? :O
Ngl I didnt understand most of,that. But I'm new xD
The kweh song is generic to FF as a whole
Its not something that would make sense unless you're crafting at max level.
Oh is that the official term for it. When did the kweh song first make appearance in ff?
I swear I must of heard that song for dozens upon dozens of hours playing 15 xD
Chocobo theme actually. Since FF2 iirc
:o
Kweh song is my own name for it. >.<
Each of the FF games has their own little twist on it with different genres
Xd
Just like how every FF game has a different version of say, the prelude theme
understandable, im only lvl 25 anyway as a trial so i won't lose much; but this brings up 2 other questions, i get an i2501 error whenever i try making a brand new SE account. that, and when i tried 'inputting' the codes even after realizing my mistake, i noticed this after looking it up.. i didn't even have many of the options they recommended,
as in, my mogstation doesn't have button for game card time, etc
2501 is a generic error for unstable connection. Honestly that one is kinda tricky. It could be vpn proxy etc. It can be different stuff for different people

i'm not in SE
This seems complicated stuff. Can't he just have a us account then go play on EU data center?
You gotta input the code /own the game in mogstation to have game time option iirc
Yes but his account is eu and his code is na
oooh- so say do i have to buy something like the starter edition, then apply everything else? honestly i'm scared to do that considering how my night's been going haha
At level 10 in probably job switching. I chose maruader or w.e then realized its a tank xD
hey guys, where do you find players for Extreme Trials?
Party finder
I'm wanting try ninja next but I first must learn rogue. But I heard you gotta go somewhere to learn it, that I cant start as it
Can you take a advanced job into a lower dungeon? example Scholar into copperbell mines?
Yes
They still have skills below level 30 so they work the same as their class counterparts
You can change to rogue once you hit level 10 on any class, and unlock the ability to move between the major cities (which I think is around msq level 15)
Same thing for expansion jobs. Gunbreaker and Dancer start at 60 but all of their skills still have levels from 1 to 60 if you ever went into lower level dungeons
and unlock the ability to move between the major cities (which I think is around msq level 15)
Well that's only important if you didn't start in Limsa
If you start in Limsa you don't need that
anyways, thank y'all; i'm sure i'll figure something out eventually, maybe not on a weekend when everything is overloaded :P
You can change to rogue once you hit level 10 on any class
Also specifically after you do your level 10 class quest on your starting class
ok thanks
not just hitting level 10
If you bought "complete" edition. It should have everything.
Ah
ah.. the expansion i got was the shadowbringers standard edition? i bought both online via game code, and alot of things just seem to be goin' wrong for me ,w,
Where do I need to go to get rogue after I do maruader quest?
.. that and sometimes it said maintenance was happening.. not sure what was happening there..
go down to Limsa lower docks and it's in a building by the fisherman's guild
Awesome. Glad my class started there :D
Building is called Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss
Tyvm <3
oooh.. so figured out the subscription because regional when i first signed up; and i need the base game for shadowbringers to work, probably? i hope at least.. apologies for so many questions, lol
Did my first fate that had a huge boss monster that had ground telegraphs almost died 2 times because,I kept messing,up from having hot bar on toggle xD
Still trying figure out if toggle or hold is better on controller
You'll really just have to pick one and get used to it
Hold kinda makes my fingers ache after a bit. But toggle I keep accidently switching to my off bar with the emote and teleport stuff on it lol
I think its because the way the targeting is setup as defualt
If you hit rt,it targets nearest target but if I have multiple and target wrong mob with rt I'm finding my self having to go out of hot bar to toggle new monster but then km in a rush and somehow clicking over to the off bar instead of the attack bar
Idk if that made sense of not sorry
rt for targetting? That's gross
Just use the dpad
Up down for party list
left right for shit like enemies
Cant use d pad when the action bar is open
True but way less gross than rt tbh
Btw why not set it to hold but then not hold the button constantly?
You only ever really need to press R2 or L2 when using the hotbar for a split second really as you press the other corresponding button
Really eases on the...finger tensing to hit the triggers?
Ah perhaps. I can give it a try. Never really occured to me tbh
That's how I do it
But for real one way or another I think you really just need to stick to one and get used to it
Just died for first time but accidently decided to wait. How do I revive?
there should be a small rectangular-ish box on the bottom right just above your systems button
click it to get the revive/wait prompt back
Found it. Thank you

Since you do the msq on your first job, how do you level future jobs?
Hey question: I'm a Red Mage and I have Vercure, when is it a good time to use it on other players in my spell rotation?
When you have nothing to hit to proc dualcast
Or when your healers are literally monkeys
And are afking
Its not your job to heal others actively
@faint flare I know, I'm a DPS focused but I still want to know IN the event I need too
Then use it when the healers are dead while you wait for them to raise
You queue up for dungeons at your level, do roulettes
Ok, would I duel cast it or use it as a way to proc duel cast?
Vercure is just a good emergency backup that should only really be taken into consideration if your healer is dead
Ok
i keep wondering, why sometimes i dont get a seal on ast after using malefic on a boss?
Im thinking here primartly about starting fight.
after using malefic i should been considered in-combat
You need to be in combat
Did you wait a second
It takes a tiny bit for the game to register that you are in combat
yeah then maybe im just using card too fast then
Or did you malefic and play card right away
I can't wait to get Raise, that's gonna be hella lit when I run around the battle field ressing people
Do it after the combust
it'll push back divination by a bit but i guess it's better than loosing seal
Anyone have a static with an opening
How many class quests are there to do before i can switch? I already done 3
You only need to do the level 10 quest
Is it just me or is it nigh impossible not to die as a dps in the copied dungeon raid. Like wtf man. How am i meant to keep up with all that
I try following where people run and i still die

There is no content where it is impossible to stay alive the whole run
Try to learn the mechs especially if your ping is bad
"Nigh"
Am I'm on it kow kek. I was thinking it was only,one quest but I guess the guild gives I multiple up to the lvl 10
Every 5 levels there is a quest
Hmm odd, I done 3 so far and I'm only lol 10
Which class are you and which one do you want to switch to ?
I'm maruader rn or in procress of completeting their quests to become one. Then,I want to switch to rogue
You just need the first quest to be one
If you done the level 10 quest then you can go to the rogue guild and do the quest to be one
Ive done the first quest they had , but when I went to the rogue place the quest to get in was red
Which weapon is equipped ?
If you had done the first quest then you should have the weapon for rogue
check inside your armoury chest (ctrl+i)
i believe new equipment goes in there by default
Also you should make a gear set to be able to switch between classes easily
No I havnt done rogue quest
I went to rogue to start but the quest was red so I couldnt get it
Ive done 3 quests so far for marauders and now I'm on wake of destruction
yeah you gotta complete that one first
Then after this quest you can switch
Ok ty. It made me do 3 or 4 fetch and kill quests before this one :/
cant seem to find the quest "up in arms". Is there any prerequisites i need to do before it shows up?
Yay I can do rogue quest now. Woot woot
so how does the free trial work exactly?
it counts ingame time or just real time for your first 30 days?

ah alright i see then
so free trial is just until lvl 60 as of patch 5.3 if i got that right
Yes with certain restrictions
Hi! If I get into a main scenario duty roulette right now, do I get the rewards for the next day after the reset? Or I have to start queue after reset to get it?
!faq freetrial
like....not being able to use the marketboard for example
is it a big deal?
you get the reward of the day you cleared in agus
if you go in before reset and clear 2 minutes after reset happened it will count for after the reset
oh btw is there something like a wow coin to extend your subscription?
No
no
Not really no Crippo, the main one is the gil limit but you can unlock stuff like beast tribe quests to find good uses for gil so you don't cap out
alright good to know
You can only extend your subscription with irl money
Thanks @obsidian wren
trial limits are listed here https://support.na.square-enix.com/rule.php?id=5382&la=1&tag=freetrial
so after say buying the game which comes with a 30 day trial
after it expires you get locked out entirely?
well 30 free days
you get 30 days of subscription time along with the base game
yeah
you get locked out until you renew your subscription
so ideally you'd want to wait with buying the base game until you reach level 60
so its not like SWTOR where you just get up to date and not have to renew
gotcha
Do I get a brand new set of dailies if I'm in the middle of doing my current ones when reset h appens??
if you mean beast tribe dailies then don't "refresh" until you finish the ones in your quest log, so you can pick up 3, do them after reset and pick up 3 again
Cool cool thx.
And yeah, I should've been more specific, forgot there's all sorts of dailies.
not really, each zone and city have different music
ok thanks
Hey there!!
I'm a returning player, should I start the Revelation tome grind?
I only ask because if there is an update that will replace them soon I may as well wait. If not, better get on the roulette
they're the last tomestone for the expansion, so they won't be getting replaced or uncapped until late summer or whenever 6.0 comes out
after i look at the white mage now, i found out they have been given more dps capabilities, and the healing is also made better, i see, that Holy now have stun , that skill will become very good ! compared to 4 years ago 
Blood for the blood lily
What level can I get. A mount?
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Thanks :D
hey is it any useful to identify all clusters on bozja ? Or I can sell them all
I mean, do I get anything good if I get all the skills ? btw, same question for pages, is there any point to collect them all ?
There's a xp earring for identifying 1k of then
clusters or pages ?
Extra pages you’ve already read/unlocked can be exchanged for lock boxes, which can give you some good stuff
And excess are traded for boxes
ok thx, except trading them for boxes theres nothing (except lore ofc) ?
Nope
ok thx a lot
There's achievements but they dont give you anything afaik
oh wtf i didn’t know you could trade them for lockboxes
i discarded all the dupes i got
Is there a guide or faq for the best way to grind out a crafting job? Or is that less possible compared to something like that in wow?
You dont want to grind out just one
You want to do them all equally
Once you unlock the replica its permanent
for the ARR relic you need the zeta on you
or have exchanged it for the first step of anima to buy the replicas
for HW and beyond, just need to do the appropriate stage to unlock the ability to buy replicas
ehhhhhhhh
I mean for zeta specifically exchanging it for the first stage makes it easier to deal with buying replicas of the ARR relic
Why would you trash your zodiac weapon
after all the work you have to do for your zodiac, it'd be a waste to trash it
I would just say tho that the ARR relic is a lot of work
So you don't unlock zodiac replicas until you've finished the whole weapon?
correct minx
Hello, I'm not a crazy pro on final fantasy 14 and would like to unlock the dark knight, do I really have to take the Crystal Tower - Ancient Maze raid?
nobody tag this ... :/
where is this roulette ?
It unlocks after unlocking 2 alliance raids
Which you'll unlock after doing Scryus tower which is after labyrinth
I'm not sure I have the prerequisites
You dont need to unlock the roulette to be put with people who are queing via roulette
yeah i know that it's ok , but nobody tag this raid x)
Again
It in the roulette
And pops often
Just be patient
People purposely cheese roulettes to force crystal tower raids
they left
When I go from conjurer to white mage, do I restart at 1?
No
you keep gaining conjurer xp as a white mage, they're basically "shared", just white mage has additional skills and stats so there's never a reason to play CNJ again once you have whm unlocked
I gotcha

gysahl greens, I'm getting low, where do I buy them from?
there's a flower girl in gridania and bango zango in limsa
who sells them
u can also buy them from marketboard
ok thanks, I was just checking each "seller" in the outer towns as I went questing
this is an immense waste and you'll likely just get railed by scalpers
there's a vendor for them in each major city
Maisenta in Gridania, Bango Zango in Limsa and i forget the name in Ul'dah but it's on the street near the Quicksand leading into the interior area near the catgirl dancers
Roarich.
do Unreal battles have some added mechanics, or are they the same as ARR extremes but upscaled stat wise?
How much do levels matter for monsters? I have a lvl 50 sitting on top of my quest npc
there's basically a shit ton https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/eeca86f98cc/
level 50 will be a hunt
likely advised for a party of 5 or even more
level 50s, of course
...actually if you give me like 5 minutes i can probably come kill it
If I talk to a npc will the monster leave me alone till after the dialog
even though it has the red "explosion"" next to its name
that's not really true
i've been killed by A marks before without aggro
if u get too close to certain marks they will attack u
is there generally a gear goal for crafters/gatherers at 50 is it you buy gear at vendors like normal
As the kids once said yolo
A and S ranks are definitely not passive
generally its easier to push to 51 and buy the archaeoskin set
same exact fights, but scaled up
since generally the crafting/gathering gear at 50 isn't that great or worth the effort to get
Hopping on now. Which world are you, and where are you at?
Alternatively you can wear artisan gear which can be bought for company seals instead of gil at lvl 50.
But lvl 51 set will be better stat wise
oh. well, that's ok then
Alright, I'll take a look, thanks for the advice
if you're lvl 80 then naturally it won't aggro onto you immediately
they're not
I'm a lvl 39 baby
What's more difficult, Coil sync or alexander savage sync?
some mobs also have rather specific aggro type
in that they aggro on like sound and such
depends on the fights, id say coils due to how different the mechanics were back then
Coils would prob be more annoying
but A/S ranks are not passive, they are aggressive mobs and most will attack you if you get into their line of sight
regardless, if you want I can hop over and knock it out for good measure
just lemme know which world you are
so if I get to finish coil sync with a static, are we somewhat ready (skill level) to do all savage content sync on the game?
i would say its not a good measure of skill. ignore everything thats not current content if you are looking for difficult content to do
your first step is probably doing the most current extreme trial
Its a little hard to compare like that. Current and old content are very different.
Yea, current extremes would be a better gauge
Go extreme > savage floor by floor.
Dont be afraid to just dive in.
why are they so different? the battles are better designed and more complex?
not to mention, youll have a different kit at level 50 vs level 80
hi can someone explain melding? i try to use materia to meld the second time but how come its less in value
different design, different balancing. even synced min ilvl, you can skip a lot of mechanics in coils. not to mention trying to find people to do old stuff synced is not easy
And some mechanics have to be creatively resolved
the new stuff is not anymore difficult than the older stuff. its just different which makes it hard to gauge skill level.
Each gear has a cap on its substats. You can see it in the melding window, like 162/272. It means you can meld 110 stat more, any more will be wasted.
@pale saffron
Generally if something is red in the melding process, you're doing something wrong
You have to do another quest to unlock overmelding. Any gear that has materia slots and doesn't have "Advanced Melding Forbidden" on it can be overmelded, up to 5 materia per piece. But there's also other rules on what can be melded where and you're going to waste a lot of materia. I'd say only overmeld endgame crafting gear
Endgame combat gear that can be overmelded isn't worth overmelding
Only relevant for like the first week of a major patch.
ahh, just wanted to understand how that happens
Even then its obsolete past the first piece of raid gear drop.
Yep. That's why I said it's not ertoth overmelding
combat gear is only overmelded if you're a hardcore player going for week 1-2 clears of new savage tiers due to not being able to get any other gear and needing to min max to hit dps checks. its easily replaced later once you get more tomestones and savage gear
Overmelded crafter and gatherers tho are often the best in slot.
oh this game has best in slot gear?
All games do
Yes and they are not randomly generated.
Eh I'd say only meld gathering gear to meet very specific breakpoints, like 800 GP or some gathering/perception breakpoint for a bonus whatever
The only reason to meld gatherer gear is for something thats going to end in 4 days so
I melded my gathering gear to 800 GP and then left it alone.
is there a list for best in slot gear?
Literally everything is doable with scrip gear and has been for the entire expansion - except ranking in restoration
!faq Balance
keep in mind BiS gear is a mix of gear acquired from tomestones, and gear from Savage raid drops
oo ok
I just got materia creation and am starting to fiddle with things. When I hover over a item I have 3 icons in the upper right. What are those?
i heard that bards have low damage is that true?
Iirc its dyeable, tradable and can be put in armoire
Only partly but their buffs make up for it
For a DPS yes. But its still better than tanks and healers of course.
the first icon is the fc thing
Ah. If that item can wear the FC crest. That sounds right.
Probably not tradable then. It think it just says untradable in text
what's the best way to farm Allagan Tomestone of Revelation for dps . I wanna skip the allegory ones, they aren't as cool.
also im kind of confused which part of the reward is for adventurer in need
how important is the AST ability sleeve draw in the AST rotation?
you should be using it basically on cd, same as draw
an extra card, plus it ensure you're getting a seal you currently don't have
15 min average wait for a very early dungeon as dps? lol not so many population in this game is it?
10-15minutes is average for dps queues because more people play dps than they do tanks/healers
yeah but I mean wow low level dungeons are much faster even as dps
do people use discord VC for normal eden raids? i just started the game wanted to know if its common
oh ok which are the raids that people often use VC for
Whatever the current tier of savage is, and any ultimate
my chat doesn't change by it self i need to do it manually how do i make it change by it self
@umbral hollow it's because all dungeons have role restrictions
and the proportion of dps players are much higher than healers or tannks
it's not so much that the population is low as much as you are at the back of a long line of dps players trying to get into a dungeon
Hey winners!!! Whats the best healer in the current meta?
No wrong
actually all of them are good
They're all fine
Meta is irrelevant
All classes can perform fine. Its based on player skill
I'm 80 whm just wondered wether to start astro, or scholar next
Okay, thankyou
Scholar is the stand-out of the healers
Astro has spells either renames of or directly comparable to whm, Cure 1/2 (same logic also, ignore benefic 1 at all times), diurnal aspben functions similarly to Regen, albeit with some perks
its most basic healing kit foundations are near identical
picking up ast with whm knowledge will be certainly less of a culture shock than sch

SCH essentially uses fairy
I suggest doing AST first
This is coming from being a Scholar main
SCH has a bit of a learning curve to make
But I found AST to be really fun
When does a new ‘day’ start for the ff14app? You get one kupo nut a day for logging into the ff14 app. I got one yesterday; it’s now after the daily reset, haven’t got one yet.
I found WHM to be confusing due to the mechanics but AST is a good balancer between the two
can i setup the ui that my 12x1 hotbar is a 6x2 hotbar on a diff class?
quick question if i start a free trial on steam
can i activate a key from a official key retailer on said account?
so a key meant for the mog station wont work on steam correct?
you're inputting a key into mogstation, regardless
everyone uses mogstation for account management
ah so its just that the steam version just downloads the client
yes
basically if you have a steam trial account, you have to buy from steam or from a website selling steam keys
you can't buy the full game from say the square enix store and use it on a steam trial account
alright then its just that the website lists it as the mogstation platform
how do i collect pyrite as a collectable, its listed as a collectable turn in but it isnt a collectable when i go to the timed node
any item that's intended to used for collectables will be automatically gathered as a collectable. Make sure tho you're gathering "rarefied pyrite" and not just "pyrite"
How do you deal with Titan extreme's stomping? It seems you stand direct underneath sometimes, but sometimes I still get knocked off
do you need both provoke and lightning shot for gnb or is it better to just have one or are both viable
lightning shot is a gcd skill, with provoke being an ogcd
so you should have both on your hotbar
since you can use lightning shot to grab a ranged mob while using provoke to grab a second one
is there any tip for a prison in unreal titan? I get that healer/dps have to separate from eachother however i have troubles seeing when i'm or my cohealer are targeted by it.
So which is most in demand now? Crit, direct hit or determination?
@leaden ginkgo he needs to be positionned near the edge, just stand right behind him and it'll be fine, arm's length/surecast would help too if you're not sure he's far enough
@cold steppe healers are always targetted, so you can just move back regardless, and then you can see if you got targetted more easily too
yeah im aware one of the healers is always getting targeted, the thing is i wondered if i can see it more clearly if i'm or another one getting targeted, or best i can do is as you said, get a bit more behind everyone to see more clearly.
if you get targetted it does the beep thing when you're targetted by an enemy
is doing the hunts from hunt bills the only way to get Allied Seals?
but otherwise it's just looking at your character to see the yellow circle thing
Its not about most demand its a priority system in a sense. You meld to hit certain breakpoints and then you fill in the next stat. Typically you do crit > direct hit > determination for most jobs
I see, maybe i just failed to hear the beep thing. :X I'll try to see a bit better next time i suppose.
A and s ranks also drop them. Masked carnivale and blue mage log do too
you can get allied seals from BLU weeklies/BLU log too

and yeah A/S ranks if you find them
i need to grab those blu mage spells
Guess i'll check the Hunt discord then
if you take a couple steps back you'll clear see your character having the effect and can keep running, if you don't have the effect you just take a couple step back forward to get in position for the push, the timing isn't really tight on the gaol positions imo
To add onto this @midnight magnet theres a limit to how much of each substat you can meld on a piece of gear so you would meld to maximize the amount of stats you can get on a piece of gear. Ilvl and mainstat increases are generally far more important anyways, especially if you don't do savage and above difficulty content
gochu, well i just decided to try out it in PF to see how difficult it is, ofc beforehard roughly checking the mechanics/strats for it, however i had troubles noticing sometimes the prison, thats why i wondered, probably the stepping back is best solution for me if i'll keep having troubles hearing the move.
thanks~
@forest sage Thank you 🙂
@cold steppe extra side tip go back and slightly off to the side so that the landslides aren't baited directly on you.
I see 
And don't go all the way out to the edge. Just the edge of the yellow portion of the arena is fine
You don't want titan to phase early and destroy where you stand
I'm on my alt atm, I'm in full crafted/edenmete minus an emerald weapon & 2 530 enedmorn.
will I be able to comfily take the aoes without dying?
in e12s
Theoretically yes
Because you had more pieces than most people w1 did
But realistically depends on your healers
Make sure to food as well
as to where to stand with prison im somewhat aware, tho i've noticed alot of sub-healers dont really use damaging abilities so i've never had yet time when i've skipped to phase 3. lol
are there any other npcs you can glam in this game besides the custom delivery people?
your squadron
your retainers with a retainer contract in front of your house or inside, apartment or house
hey guys, a friend of mine is a level 38 arcanist, but they dont have the quest to become a scholar at the arcanist guild
have to do arcanist quests, and also the sylph MSQ to get jobs
on a preferred server it's quite possible to outlvl the MSQ a lot
the MSQ is "Sylph Management", have to do that before you can take job quests
but Sylph management quest is unable to be picked up by friend
its red, says requirements not met
dont know what requirements
How do I use the glamour dispellers ?
sylph management shouldn't have any requirement, other than being on a lvl 20 combat class
glamour dispeller as far as I remmeber you just cast glamour on the item via the menu, and it'll show up there as an option
The option should be the first one
It says remove
for customs, 60 should be the minimum but once it's unlocked you can turn in on lower lvl classes I think
if i were to attempt current tier Extreme, i should bother getting all highest lvl materias, right?
yes, always try to meld materia 8s if you can
yeah i just wondered if 8's are a must or 6's for most are good enough, basically. :p
tho i kept wondering, why Materias VII are giving less stats than VI?
Because tier 6s are last expansions 8s
And 5s are last expansions tier 7s
7s are meant for overmelding
I see
Hi. Do u have a pic of the crafting tree for cordial?
is scholar available for free players?
my friend did sylph management but the quest is not available to become a scholar

and their arcanist is like level 30 something
Its not an expansion class for Stormblood or Shadowbringers so there's no reason why its not accessible to them
they probably need to get further with MSQ, you get lvl 30 faster than story progresses, and 2nd job unlocks after specyifc MSQ
Are they looking for it in the correct place?
arcanists guild right? in limsa
What exactly do they see there?
they do not see a class quest available
they have to progress in MSQ
How far are they in msq
Slpyh management is the msq
They said they did sylph management
And they just did it
Oh
not until you pick up the quest
It moves to Maradurer
They aren't behind on the arcanist quest are they? Like have one active?
First SCH quest
Also make sure you have progressed in your Arcanist quests too
No
both schoolar and summoner questlines start in diffrent locations than arcanist
so youre saying, my friend might need to catch up on arcanist class quests
You have to
If they haven't been doing them yes
They're required
You can't skip them
alright thank you ill find out
Ok guys I have a question: I have a square enix account and I played FF14 with Shadowbringers expansion. My subscription ran out and I kinda want to use steam to get a monthly subscription. Is this possible?
they need to do whole arcanist questline yes.
Thats why youre nkt seeing it
No because you're not a steam account
question: can FC leader/staff with rights buy house for FC if only has less than 4 FC member?
Can you become a crafting mentor as a sprout
Let’s say MSQ wise you’re still in stormblood but you do all the achievements for crafting mentor
Probably
Or does the mentor icon not apply
Uhhh

I thinking you can
Until after you’ve entered shadowbrungers
You need at least Stomblood
You can
For Battle Mentor you absolutely need to finish SHB
But trade mentor I think you can get away with it
yeah nothing for trade mentor has restrictions really
are there appropriate channel to ask about housing stuff btw?
I was wondering if trade mentor icon wouldn’t apply or something until you also no longer meet creoteria for sprout
You can change it
It applies
What level does proper online content unlock at (like dungeons)?
You can toggle it on and off
You toggle it from "edit search info" in the drop down
whats the best source of VIII materias? just daily roulette with correct classes?
can any1 direct me to appropriate housing channel btw?
aside of MB ofc cuz im short on gil
do hunt trains for the clusters
I'm level 19. I haven't really seen much online content. I'm still stuck in the area i started in.
beast tribes, hunts, roulettes
hunt trains huh
19 is still really early
character level doesnt matter too much, story progress is what matters. lvl16 MSQ is your first dungeon
make sure you're progressing story and not doing side quests
Also your job level doesn’t matter much. It’s the MSQ level that gates content
lv15 msq
hunt trains are probably the best way to get clusters, would reccomend
can any1 direct me to appropriate housing channel btw?
The MSQ will introduce you to dungeons and raids for lore purposes etc
i'll look into them then
We don't have a housing channel
There are housing discords tho
oh? can i get link for it?
What level does the quest to get the chocco bird/mount thing unlock at?
20
thx
You can click on your main scenario quest UI to see what level your current MSQ is
Ty
would reccomend joining a hunt discord for your data center. list of discords in #resources
gochu, thanks!
Hey all, I can't adjust font size for my chat window now. Is this a bug? Currently playing in windowed mode. Thank you.
Adjust font size in the log details
That doesn't help, I'm talking about the font size.
Ah There we go!
Perfect!!!
Thank you.
Another question, for tank hotbars on controller, is there any setups that are common for public use? Such as what you should use for Level 50, Level 60, level 70, etc...
ooo oki
Or just ask the same question over there
Hotbar set ups are all personal preference
As long as you can reach stuff quickly it can be as cursed as you want
Hello does anyone know how I can check what server I am on? I haven't played the game in over a year and thinking of returning and just found out I missed out on a campaign but I wanna check my info see if I can speak to a company before I return just to see if it's worth returning etc
I'm not logged in lol
Then look up your character on lodestone
Do I need to pay to view it I mean sorry I wasn't clear
Or check Mogstation
@faint flare thank you you've been a big help.
And what is the best channel on this discord to look for a FC?
Is it possible to undertake resistance weapon quest on multiple/two jobs? e.g. WHM and SMN
Bojza with party farming mobs, other HW fates
You can get relics on all jobs
just saying tho, you can't do the same quest for multiple jobs at one time
so you need to basically be on different stages to work on multiple relics
you can gather the materials as long as they're actrive though
ye
and you can just drop whichever to pick another, turn in, then pick back the old one
did they nerf the exp gain from roulettes recently?
you just need to make sure you keep a class on the 2nd step to get those drops

Arms Wide Open
