scarlet arrow
#

a shadowbringers hunt train is 120 revelation tomes in about 15 minutes

slate arrow
#

They respawn on a timer so communities have organized around keeping tabs on them so they can maximize both tome and materia rewards based on their timer

modest igloo
#

plus nuts, materia, and poetics

raven star
#

Is there a VPN with a free trial I can use?

shadow yacht
#

how do I get involved with that

slate arrow
#

Don't know what the crystal hunts discord is

faint flare
#

Probably just look at Centurio hunt discord

shadow yacht
#

oh okie

#

thank you

#

misty marsh
#

What is the best food for DRK?

slate arrow
#

Depends on your build, but I heard Smoked Chicken is a pretty safe choice

faint flare
misty marsh
#

Thanks!

#

Question about Armory bonus. If my main class is lvl 60 I will only get armory bonus until lvl 50 right?

pearl perch
#

noop BLU question
is it true that eruption can be learnt from normal mode ifrit? mennothink

loud ether
faint flare
#

As long as the skill is casted

#

It can be learbed

#

Regardless of Difficulty

#

As long as its casted

pearl perch
#

and sync = 100%?

faint flare
#

Yes

slate arrow
#

as far as I know, no

#

except maybe binding a keyboard key to triangle/Y

faint flare
loud ether
#

@faint flare Thanks ❤️

slate arrow

austere agate
#

I'm having problems with the position of status effects bar in the hud

loud ether
#

I am done with ARR story and contuning doing ARR to unlock the next expansion storyline. For gear I should get all the Ironworks pieces I can afford?

acoustic mantle
#

Quick questioun: In Eureka, how can I tell element I'm currently aligned at? I can see the arrow while spinning, but the arrow disappears after setting.

acoustic mantle
#

Oh, it's the number that moves around, right?

faint flare
#

Yes

acoustic mantle
#

Gotcha.

austere agate
slate arrow
#

Oh, I did split mine between positive and negative effects

#

Put the negative ones in top so I can keep track of raid mechanics

faint flare
#

I blow up my debuffs because I'm an idiot so i can see them easily

austere agate
#

Is there any reason why they seem to take too much space?

#

Specially the enemy bar

faint flare
#

Because there's alot of buffs and debuffs

slate arrow
#

if you do it right, you can hit like 15+ buffs and they're good to know if you plan on coordinating big bursts between party members

#

It's also a holdover from the 2.0+ days and more where there were a hell of a lot more status effects and we didn't have job UI yet

#

So you had to use your status effects to track your job mechanics

warm snow
#

I've seen that, I do not envy you

leaden ginkgo
#

How does the seal system in Khloe’s journal work? Each objective rewards a random seal?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Even if you complete it again its another random sticker

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you.

forest sage
#

you can use 2 second chances to reroll(if you have under 7 seals), to try to get better positions

#

but it's still RNG where the last 2 go

frozen girder
#

How do I level up?

forest sage
#

do the quest

frozen girder
#

Oh I see :p

faint flare
#

Do the reputation quest nearby

cunning elbow
#

While I’m working on my archer class quest so I can become a bard what other classes do you recommend doing like botanist and what not

hasty musk
#

if you want to, sure

frozen girder
#

The other ranged classes

#

It will save inventory space :p

hasty musk
#

except if they're in ARR there aren't any

open rivet
hasty musk
#

you don't get Dancer till 60 and Machinist until HW

open rivet
#

unless they buy a boost

frozen girder
#

Oh lol

#

Don't worry about leveling then

#

Just do MSQ

#

I am in a perpetual state of no armor space

open rivet
open rivet
# frozen girder

clean out your chest omg
desynth, or donate to your gc for seals

frozen girder
#

XD

#

But I still need it alll >_>

open rivet
#

you're only using 5 of those

frozen girder
cunning elbow
#

Just sell whatever you use the least

open rivet
#

keep the "I'll use those later" things in a retainer or in your choco bag

frozen girder
#

Hehe

open rivet
#

that way they don't clutter your armoury chest

frozen girder
#

My retainers are all full

#

I have 10

#

XD

cunning elbow
#

MY GOD- how

open rivet
#

...

#

you're kidding, right

frozen girder
#

I have 7 full of gear

#

And 3 full of mats

#

:3

open rivet
#

and I bet you can throw out like 90% of that

cunning elbow
#

Please you’ll get so much gil if you sell like 90 percent of it

frozen girder
#

Nah

#

It's all leveling gear

open rivet
#

I doubt that

frozen girder
#

Plus most of it is bound to me

#

_>

cunning elbow
#

😑

open rivet
#

you don't need new gear every level

cunning elbow
#

Have fun with zero space my friend

frozen girder
#

Soon I can get rid of most of my crafter gear!

#

Once I'm level 80 I have this

#

XD

#

Tho it's pretty useless rn...

open rivet
#

yknow, I thought I play the game wrong, but excuse me like what are you doing.

frozen girder
#

I bet I could sell it for a lot

open rivet
#

pentameld it

frozen girder
#

I uh

#

I've been really unlucky with my melding

#

I failed 40 17% melds in a row

#

And then gave up

#

._.

#

That was like 400k down the drain

twilit arch
frozen girder
#

Was I doing something wrong >_>

#

Is there a way to improve the chances?

faint flare
#

Nope

twilit arch
#

no, meld chance is determined by grade and meld slot

faint flare
#

Its based on the materia tier

#

And slot

frozen girder
#

Oh, so to Pentameld I have to go down in grade each time?

faint flare
#

No

twilit arch
#

not necessarily

faint flare
#

The success rate will go down

forest sage
#

overmelding is only worth it if you're aiming at super endgame stuff(currently I'd say only expert recipes make it worth it)

faint flare
#

Like 10% for the last slot

#

For 7s

frozen girder
#

I'm looking to do Ishgard endgame

#

Specifically that

forest sage
#

then yeah you'll spend several minions on melding

frozen girder
#

._.

twilit arch
#

its 5%

forest sage
#

millions

twilit arch
#

for t7 in 5th slot

frozen girder
#

But you can't do 2 VIII tier overmelded?

faint flare
#

No

twilit arch
#

no

frozen girder
#

Rip

twilit arch
#

it states in the tooltip it can only be overmelded once

frozen girder
#

WDYM?

forest sage
#

says 0%

frozen girder
#

I can overmeld it again

twilit arch
#

Cannot be melded onto a piece of equipment past the first advanced materia melding slot.

frozen girder
#

Just with a lower quality

twilit arch
#

i'm talking specifically about t8/t6

frozen girder
#

Ah

faint flare
#

!item Savage Aim Materia Viii

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Savage Aim Materia VIII** **:** Materia : ilvl 420

Cannot be melded onto a piece of equipment past the first advanced materia melding slot.

forest sage
#

VIII and VI can only overmelded once, after that you have to meld VII, V or under

faint flare
#

Cannot be melded onto a piece of equipment past the first advanced materia melding slot.

jade zinc
#

What is the best thing to do with old materia?

vernal urchin
#

sell it if you're not gonna use it

#

either on the marketboard or to an npc

twilit arch
#

can also transmute it

#

and hop for crafting/gathering materia since those generally sell a bit better than combat materia

leaden ginkgo
#

How often are hairstyles added to the game? Every X patch? Randomly? Etc.

faint flare
#

Whenever they want

twilit arch
#

its fairly frequently

cold steppe
#

is ixial tribe still most efficient way to lvl up classes to vll 50 from crafting even after maxing it out?

vernal urchin
#

skybuilder's is still the best way right now, if you have access to ishgard

twilit arch
#

adding ixali as part of daily rotation is fine, but wouldn't have called it efficient to begin with since they're...daily

vernal urchin
#

yeah if you're only doing ixal and nothing else, it's gonna take you weeks and weeks

#

i know because that's how i leveld up my crafters to 50 :V

river creek
#

if you undersized a dungeon that give at the last boss minions or furniture, do they drop or it's only chests on the way that can give drops?

obsidian patio
#

Those can still drop

cold steppe
#

gochu

#

i just wondered if there's much reason to keep doing ixali after getting it to max, but if ishgard is better then that answers that!

jade zinc
#

There are NPCs to get back most unique gear IE quest gear, right?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Most quest gear isnt unique

obsidian patio
#

Quest-exclusive gear can be bought back from the calamity salvager

faint flare
#

As quests primarily give crafted gear

#

But stuff like job gear and glamour is via calamity salvager

#

Or centurio seals for 60s

obsidian patio
#

Most of the level cap gear from story is old tomestone sets or dungeon gear

faint flare
#

Everything can be retained through some means

tranquil glen
forest sage
#

DoH=crafter

obsidian patio
#

Need to be a crafter

faint flare
#

You need a displice of HAND

jade zinc
#

Hand, crafter.

tranquil glen
faint flare
#

Which is crafter

forest sage
#

it's to make glamours so you'd need to craft them anyway

faint flare
#

Its teaching you how to craft glamour prisms

forest sage
#

you can use them without this quest(the quest before lets you use them)

faint flare
#

Says right there in the description

tranquil glen
#

oh okay i didnt know about the previous quest i guess it came with boost

forest sage
#

yeah it's automatically unlocked when you boost iirc

tranquil glen
#

can you buy glamour prisms off market?

forest sage
#

a few side features are

#

yep

#

also GC seals

tranquil glen
#

pog

wheat plume
#

I've put PF for a trial, but a player is DM me saying he cannot enter, why is that happening? I should have it unlocked because he can see it at pf

brisk ember
#

Hey guys! I'm level 50 with an average ilvl of 36, and I'm trying to do a MSQ duty-finder thing that requires an ilvl of 42. My question is: what is the quickest/most recommended way for me to go about getting that up to ilvl 42?

faint flare
#

You're given a coffwr with i90 gear

#

Equip it

faint flare
frozen girder
#

Or buy gear with Gil

manic flare
#

is there a guide for eureka?

dense sigil
#

so i just reached shadowbringers, but im almost lvl 80, should i just waste the xp when i get to that point or what?

forest sage
#

you could switch classes if you have one close in lvl to get xp on that

#

as for eureka, there's probably old guides yeah, also the eureka discord still has all the info

faint flare
#

Cant get ironworks

twilit arch
#

considering that they're likely trying to get into castrum, ironworks isn't really an option

faint flare
#

Before doing that

timid geyser
#

Oh

#

I thought it was avaible at that point of the story

twilit arch
#

it technically is

timid geyser
#

Oh but you need poetics

#

I forgot about that point

twilit arch
#

but getting poetics to buy it will be kind of harder to do without having completed prae

thorn totem
#

Whats the fastest way to lvl up DoH and DoL

forest sage
#

need to do job quest for the skill anyway

thorn totem
#

for 1-30

faint flare
#

Just do your crafting logs to 20

twilit arch
#

1-15 can be done crafting/gathering items in your logs

faint flare
#

And then ishgard it up

timid geyser
waxen pivot
#

is there something similar to the kirin mount for collecting all birds/dogs/dragons?

twilit arch
#

Yes

forest sage
#

yes

thorn totem
#

beast tribe for

faint flare
#

Birds and dogs yes

forest sage
#

well dragons not yet

thorn totem
#

doh and dol?

faint flare
#

Dragons not yet

waxen pivot
#

cool, thanks

forest sage
#

since there''s still a trial in 5.5

waxen pivot
#

ahh gotcha

twilit arch
#

phoenix for birds, 9 tail kamuy for dogs, and dragons is up in the air until we get to 5.5

marble drift
#

probs big dragon. lets be honest

#

they've all been like "super forms" of the base models

#

but yeah its all guesswork

frozen girder
#

How do I unlock custom deliveries in ShB?

faint flare
#

One needs 5.1 story done, the other needs a side quest in the firmament done

frozen girder
#

I can't find the sidequest ._.

frozen girder
#

I have the quest done

faint flare
#

Mmm not updated witu Ehti

frozen girder
#

But I can't find it

#

There's no blue quest

faint flare
#

Then you need more story progress

#

You need 5.1 basically done

twilit arch
#

you need to do the msq "Moving Forward" to unlock the eulmore custom delivery npc

frozen girder
#

OH

#

I see

faint flare
#

Which is like the second to last quest

twilit arch
#

which is the 2nd to last quest for 5.1

frozen girder
#

5.1 XD

#

That's a pain :(

faint flare
#

Ehti tuo is in the Firmament, after some side quests that introduce him

twilit arch
#

A Home in the Firmament > Overseer for a day > shadow of an icy past > to thaw a frozen heart > if songs had wings

#

those are the firmament side quests you need to do to unlock "o crafter, my crafter" which unlocks ehll tou

frozen girder
#

Oh I've been putting that off since it's not blue XD

versed bridge
#

Is it possible to give a macro the "system configuration" icon?

frozen girder
#

What's it for?

#

You can drag the system config menu to your hotbar if it's for that

versed bridge
#

Making a ui macro and I like the system configuration image. Could just use the default "gear" but now I'm curious

frozen girder
#

but I don't think you can use it's icon

twilit arch
#

iirc you can't use menu icons for micon

frozen girder
#

I suppose you could mod the game to do it

versed bridge
#

Naw, not that big a deal

frozen girder
#

@faint flare do level 70 custom deliveries give more EXP than level 60 ones?

#

Or is it still the same

faint flare
#

The Shadowbringers one give more rewards

frozen girder
#

I'm only really looking for EXP

faint flare
#

They'll give more

forest sage
#

if you unlock one of the quick ones you can check, I want to say yes once you're 61+ but no idea cause all my stuff is always capped when these things release

frozen girder
#

I'm wanting to get past the 70-71 levels on my Blacksmith

#

Cuz that's the hardest part to get past for me >_>

lavish vortex
#

question: would you guys say ninja is hard to play??

faint flare
#

Not really

forest sage
#

it takes some getting used to, maybe more than some other classes

faint flare
#

Its a rapid burst for 15s every minute

forest sage
#

but the rotation is pretty static

faint flare
#

But outside of that its just 1 2 3

lavish vortex
#

that sounds good, i was a little afraid to try it but now ill give it a go and see how it goes

forest sage
#

like learning the ninjutsus can take a little while, some people are better at it than others

faint flare
#

You can mostly set them up so you can just go 1 2 3 for mudras

#

Or 3 2 1

lavish vortex
#

but your performance depends 100% on performing your ninjitsus well??

faint flare
#

If you mispress your mudra then it fails

forest sage
#

well failling a ninjutsu is a big issue

faint flare
#

And you just waste timr

#

And get a bunny hat

forest sage
#

casting the wrong one is a smaller dps loss(unless you do hyoton)

#

but you definitely want to cast the right ones

lavish vortex
#

so you have 3 specific buttons for the 3 variables and you press them in a specific order to get 1 attack or the other?

forest sage
#

it's more, which one you finish on that matters

#

the order doesn't matter, the amount of mudras and last one determines the ninjutsu

lavish vortex
#

kind of like dancer steps but with a fix order rather than a random one?

forest sage
#

for example 123 is the same as 213

elfin edge
#

yeah, you just have to avoid hitting the same one twice

forest sage
#

so you only kinda muscle memory the combos you use the most and then it just flows pretty naturally

lavish vortex
#

hmm ok, and the steps replace other skills buttons (like in dancer)? or are separate buttons, i ask cause i play on controller and i likt to have all the buttons at a glance

faint flare
#

Seperate

#

I have them set up in two different places

leaden ginkgo
#

can you triple weave assuming u had like nearly zero ping

faint flare
#

No

forest sage
#

on controller, for any class it's useful to add standard bars where you put cooldowns so you can always see them

faint flare
#

Physically impossible

leaden ginkgo
#

why?

faint flare
#

Due the animation lock on skills

forest sage
#

oGCDs have a "cast time/delay/lock"

faint flare
#

Every single skill has a 0.7s animation lock

#

Including gcds

forest sage
#

iirc it's like .7s for most of them?

lavish vortex
#

while you do your ninjutsu, do you have to access another skills, ogcd or any other buttons? or its like its own little button press and then go back to your skills?

faint flare
#

At least

#

You have to do the ninjutsu fully

#

Otherwise it fails

forest sage
#

no ninjutsus block everything(well technically not blocked, but if you press anything it'll fail)

#

so you always finish your ninjutsu before doing anything else

queen yoke
#

On the samurai skills I have seen some of them mention that they can only be performed under the effect of eyes open but exactly how do you obtain that effect? I don't see it mentioned under any of the other skills

faint flare
#

Use third eye

forest sage
#

you use mind's eye before dmg

faint flare
#

And get hit

forest sage
#

oh yeah third eye

lavish vortex
#

so i can have it for example in the expanded cross hotbar by pressing R2 L2 together and then back to main crossbars

queen yoke
#

Oh

#

I see

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Thats what i do

queen yoke
#

Oh I see it now

#

thanks

lavish vortex
#

nice nice!!

faint flare
#

On r2+l2 on O, X and square

#

With ninjutsu on triangle

lavish vortex
#

yeah, so you go to r2+l2, do the combo and go back, that sounds great

faint flare
#

I also have them on L2 for aoe reasons

forest sage
#

and you can put ninjutsu on a bar somewhere to see the cooldown/charges

agile laurel
#

if i had a penny for the amount of times i've pressed bloodbath or shade shift mid ninjutsu and ate shit for it

forest sage
#

or well a mudra

agile laurel
#

i'd not be rich but you hate how much it happens

forest sage
#

ninjutsu doesn't show anything

faint flare
lavish vortex
#

yeah, i put "hidden" stuff on hotbars and when ready r2+l2, works pretty well

#

well, thanks a lot!!! ill start the long journey of leveling a class from 1 to 80 and be back with plenty more questions hehe

agile laurel
#

The sole existing pro for a triple weave is specific for one instance of smn, which is to get around caster lag which is something entirely different

faint flare
#

More like stupid phoenix stuff

agile laurel
#

yep

#

and that still clips, of course, so it's something different entirely

faint flare
#

Just remove everlasting flight or move it to the summoner itself and its fixed

agile laurel
#

so while yes that does advocate a triple weave, it's not for the mainstream reason - all triple weaves clip

#

more cause pets are moronic but scrape the barrel even more and you may as well remove pets so

#

beside the point anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

im a level 20 weaver and I ate pea soup. Why can't I get 200 cp ?

faint flare
#

Probably your Default CP is too low that the food cant give you its full effect

obsidian patio
#

Food works on percentages. If your stats aren’t high enough you don’t get the full benefit

#

!item pea soup

faint flare
#

Its 10% of your stats, to a maximum of X

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Pea Soup** **:** Meal : ilvl 26

*An emerald green soup made from mashed jade peas.

EXP Bonus: +3% Duration: 30m
(Duration can be extended to 60m by consuming multiple servings)*

CP

10% [21] (13% [26] HQ)

agile laurel
#

The specific wording, iirc, is 'up to x stat, or y % of your CP, whichever comes first'

#

I may be wrong on that, can't remember too well

obsidian patio
#

To get the full benefit of Pea soup you need 200 CP

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks for the answers , so how else would i increase my cp ?

faint flare
#

Meld

#

Better gear

obsidian patio
#

Better accessories

leaden ginkgo
#

gear ? man i didn't think crafting classes had gear

faint flare
#

They do

#

Ofc they do

#

How else do they get stats

obsidian patio
#

Crafters and gatherers are classes in their own rights

forest sage
#

do note that crafting/gathering is basically optional in this game, unlike some other mmos, but on the flipside, they have a lot of depth, they have their own skills, quests, special endgame content, gear, mechanics, rotations and so on

#

but the only "direct" advantage having crafters leveled does for you is letting you repair anywhere, and save a bit of money in the process

leaden ginkgo
#

im just doing it so I can make armor and weapons I like. The prices on the market board are bullshit

forest sage
#

obviously having crafters also means you can craft your own gear and stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

what gear should I be going for for level 80?

forest sage
#

as a fresh 80? crafted gear if you have the money(check servers for lower prices), tome gear, otherwise, do eden raid normal too

#

the relic weapon(look up Bozjan stuff) can be nice to get started since it's relatively easy to get, if you have cleared the stormblood 24man questline(if you haven't it's a lot of time to get there)

leaden ginkgo
#

is the gear from eulmore worth getting?

#

the ones that need tomestones of allegory?

forest sage
#

there's a lot of gear in eulmore

#

allegory is your starting point if you don't have/don't waznt to spend money on crafted yeah

#

and then the revelation tome gear as you get more of them each week

warm lily
#

If a quest has a plus sign, it means what

leaden ginkgo
#

revelation tome?

forest sage
#

tome of revelation

#

they're the weekly limited tomes you'll get for 80 content

#

along with allegory

leaden ginkgo
#

where do you spend that?

faint flare
forest sage
#

bluequest @warm lily ? means it unlocks content, dungeons or features and such

#

tomes of revelation are spent in eulmore too, same NPC as allegory

faint flare
warm lily
#

Ty

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh okay I see

#

Is it any level 80 dungeon?

#

Sorry for all the questions

faint flare
#

Any 80 content rewards allegory and revelation

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright

#

Thank you!

honest anvil
#

i havent done my e10s for this week but i want to join some e11s parties to practice. As long as i dont clear e11s, i wont lose my e10s loot right?

faint flare
#

No

#

You lose e10s loot the MOMENT you load in

#

Once your screen fades to black, its gone

honest anvil
#

oof

I'm new to the game and join the discord off the ff14 discord can someone explain to me the reason for a fc?

FCs are the player guilds of the game

Free trial? U talking about the free trail on the dlc than yes

vernal urchin

Unfortunately, free trial players cannot join FCs

pearl cedar
#

can u gift minions ? like to other people

obsidian patio
#

If they’re tradeable then yes

#

But not ones you already used or are untradeable

open ember

if it says market tradable then yes

pearl cedar
#

i have a fat cat on an account in a japanese datacenter and i want it on an account in a diff datacenter...

sacred canopy
#

So do I have to wait until the trail is over than?

obsidian patio
#

If you used it then no

pearl cedar
#

aww

obsidian patio
vernal urchin
#

The trial has no time limit, but comes with a lot of limitations to some of the social aspects of the game

sacred canopy
#

I paid for the first month

faint flare
#

Then you own the game and paying the sub

#

And not trial

glacial isle
#

When WT says to complete Palace of the Dead, does that mean to a specific level or just run lvls 1-10, then leave or?

vernal urchin
#

Oh, then you bought the game already

#

Then you can join an FC

glacial isle
#

thx

sacred canopy
#

Oh ok I wanted to make to sure myself and my friend are new lol so we dont know the requirements

#

To join a fc

vernal urchin
#

If you bought the game, then you're good

faint flare
#

The only requirement is just own the game

sacred canopy
#

Ok then is it possible for myself and my friend to join the fc?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

whole rapids
#

haha sorry I was trying to search and see if my question was answered already

#

had the wrong box selected

#

@tender estuary sorry if this is out of the blue but it seems like you would be the best one to ask

tender estuary
#

whats up

whole rapids
#

I got a M1 mac today and I was wondering if there was any way to get FFXIV running on it?

#

sorry if I'm distracting you from anything

warped nest
#

XIV has Mac version, but I'm gonna be honest, most of us here probably don't own one

tender estuary
#

hmmm thats a good question, I believe it does have an x86 emulator but im really not sure if it'd work on the new M1 based macs

warped nest
#

Let alone finding people who played in it

tender estuary
#

well thats not entirely what they are asking

warped nest
#

Wait... XIV doesn't have Mac ver?

tender estuary
#

it does

obsidian patio
#

It does, but it’s picky

#

Does the benchmark work on Mac?

tender estuary
#

they are asking if it supports the new M1 based macbooks

#

and mac mini

warped nest
#

Ahh

whole rapids
#

yee

#

thank you

tender estuary
#

they arent intel based chips they are internally designed

#

I do know they have an x86 emulator built into it

rigid narwhal
#

there's no M1 mac official version, you can run it in compatability layer

tender estuary
#

I would do a trial or run the benchmark to see if it runs

rigid narwhal
#

people are saying low fps tho

whole rapids
#

I saw people on reddit and in the forums that were able to get it working but when I pull up the launcher it gives me an error

warped nest
#

Yeah, benchmark first

#

Then go from there

whole rapids
#

I'll try reinstalling the launcher quick

#

sure, I'll do that thank you

tender estuary
#

I did a little research

#

if you have Rosetta 2 installed which is the application layer emulator

#

it seems to run okayish

umbral hollow
#

the primal fights are not very frecuent are they I have waited 45min lol

tender estuary
obsidian patio
#

Also I’m pretty sure it’s late as hell over in Europe

umbral hollow
#

im just levelling nothing extreme

worthy rain
#

the cheapest way for playing ffxiv is to pay only the months when story update is released, progress within that month, and then stop till next update?

whole rapids
tender estuary
#

sounds good

worthy rain
#

I asked if withing gameplay lets you earn for payment

#

but said no

tender estuary
#

as for cheapest way to play, the price doesnt change depending when you subscribe but I guess in theory if you only wanted to play for a specific reason yeah that would probably be the most cost effective way

worthy rain
#

I mean: free till Heavensward included

umbral hollow
#

is this game cheaper on europe than wow?

#

I was wondering what items you can trade in for crystal sands and where to trade them in? (if the vendor tells you what they accept nw) 🙂

worthy rain
#

Then, within a month, progress till Shadowbringers

tender estuary
#

oh I see what you are asking

worthy rain
#

Then, only pay again for next update

obsidian patio
tender estuary
#

when you enter your card info it will auto renew so you have to remember to cancel the subscription right away, you'll get the time credit for the month

sacred canopy
#

How does my friend and I join the fc?

obsidian patio
#

Around x6.4, y4.8

leaden ginkgo

worthy rain
#

cancel before the month

Time credit you mean what it is left of the monthly suscription right?

tender estuary
#

oop

#

sorry lol didnt know that

obsidian patio
tender estuary
#

I guess try installing rosetta 2

#

and then try to launch the game again

worthy rain
#

In 10$ currently you can progress till Shadowbringer?

obsidian patio
#

If you want to make one for yourself then go to the OIC people at any grand company and request to start one

tender estuary
#

I dont have any experience with the mac client so forgive me haha

worthy rain
#

the free til HS, and then, within a month, 10$

silver ruin
#

no, you need to buy shadowbringers

worthy rain
#

so expensive loool

silver ruin
#

then yes if you continue paying your sub, you need to own shadowbringers

tender estuary
#

no its 13 USD for entry level and 15 for standard, you must purchase the newest expansion to get prior expansions

silver ruin
#

^

tender estuary
#

as of right now you buy shadowbringers and it includes stormblood on top of the already free HW and ARR

#

you have to upgrade your account from trial to full though

silver ruin
#

you need the complete edition, or the base game + shadowbringers

worthy rain
#

I know that until HS I have it free

Then, for SB and SHBR, pay SHBR complete edition or so?

umbral hollow
#

the entry month reduction is still applied after you buy the complete edition from been a trial and reciving the first free month?

tender estuary
#

just buy shadowbringers

#

it includes stormblood

silver ruin
#

i dont think he has the base game

whole rapids
tender estuary
#

oh right, then yeah buy complete edition

open ember
#

if you buy the standard, it upgrades the trial account to a standard account

Subscription Prices
open ember
#

if you want SB and SHB you need to buy shadowbringers

warped nest
#

Opps

#

Sorry

tender estuary
#

entry is 13 a month (unless you pay for 90 or 180 day) and it limits you to only 1 character on a server where as standard I think you get 8 per server

#

but you can level everything on a single character

#

I personally just do entry

silver ruin
warped nest
#

Almost no reason to do standard

#

And if you found a reason to do standard down the line, just upgrade to standard then

obsidian patio
#

Entry is generally good enough for most people unless you really want multiple characters on the same world for stuff like RP or other small things

tender estuary
#

yeah, if you buy a time card though it will only let you choose standard

#

unless they changed that

silver ruin
#

nope, you're right

#

time cards also dont cover things like extra retainers

obsidian patio
#

Yeah time cards are only standard

worthy rain
#

Ok, so, always entry for now

warped nest
#

I'm sorry, but time cards sounds like a pain in the ass. No entry, and doesn't have way to pay for extra retainer...

worthy rain
#

So, I make the free till HS, and then purchase SHB

Or, directly purchase SHB and play ARR and HS out of the free trial?

tender estuary
#

yeah you only save 2 USD but like we said you can level everything on the same character so no real point unless you enjoy suffering enjoy leveling another alt

faint flare
#

You dont OWN anything on trial

warped nest
#

Shadowbringers itself doesn't include Starter Edition

faint flare
#

If you want to get Shadowbringers, you must buy complete edition or starter edition + Shadowbringers

tender estuary
#

yeah you need to purchase the complete edition or buy ARR starter edition + shadowbringers

warped nest
#

What Vinyl said

faint flare
#

Buying just Shadowbringers when you're on trial does nothing

#

Cause again

#

You DONT OWN it

tender estuary
#

n-no u

worthy rain
#

you dont own it?

you can pass the progress I think

dont you mean that?

faint flare
#

No

open ember
#

its free

silver ruin
#

no

#

you need to buy the base game

open ember
#

you have to buy it to own it

faint flare

You dont own arr and heavensward

worthy rain
#

No progress?

open ember
#

no thats not what we mean

faint flare
#

You cant use DLC FOR A game you dont own

worthy rain
faint flare

The trial is a demo

#

Not full ownership

warped nest

To be more detailed:

Free trial: 1-60 contents, free to play, no time limit, some social/inventory limitations

Starter Edition: 1-60 contents, require subscription to keep playing, comes with 30 days sub

Shadowbringers: 60-80 contents, no additional subscription required, required Starter Edition.

Complete edition: starter + Shadowbringers

worthy rain
faint flare
#

You dont own the license

open ember
#

you can progress but youre limited to the trial limitations. you dont have access to the functions of the whole game

warped nest
#

Read what I type

open ember
#

therefore you dont own it

faint flare
#

You need to own the license of Arr and heavensward

#

Which the trial doesn't give you

open ember
#

the standard edition UPGRADES and allows you TO OWN the game

#

but then you have to start paying the sub

tender estuary
#

yeah you upgrade to a full account

pearl cedar
#

IM LVL 10 HOW DO I GET ROGUE

tender estuary
#

which converts your trial account to a regular account

#

it unlocks more content, more social features, allows you to do more basic features etc.

warped nest
faint flare
#

After doing your lv10 class quest

warped nest
#

You can visit the lower floor in Limsa Lominsa, to become a rogue

silver ruin
#

if your starting city isnt limsa you gotta hit lv 15 on msq to get access to limsa

pearl cedar
#

UGH

#

:(((

silver ruin
#

or just make a new character since you're only lv 10 if you dont wanna wait, really up to you

worthy rain
worthy rain
#

Ok

silver ruin
#

not a license

slate arrow
#

you don't own ARR or HS

silver ruin
#

you need to buy the base game + shadowbringers

slate arrow
#

you're on the Free Trial

silver ruin
#

or the complete edition

faint flare
#

Just because you're allowed to access Arr and heavensward doesn't mean you own them

worthy rain
#

Ok, got it

Now curious, what happens if someones do what I said?

open ember
#

we've said many times that owning the trial version doesnt mean you own the game

faint flare
#

Again TRIAL is demo

slate arrow
#

You won't be able to redeem it

because you don't own the base game

To be more detailed:

Free trial: 1-60 contents, free to play, no time limit, some social/inventory limitations

Starter Edition: 1-60 contents, require subscription to keep playing, comes with 30 days sub. This essentially unlocks your free trial and lift all restrictions.

Shadowbringers: 60-80 contents, no additional subscription is required, required Starter Edition.

Complete edition: starter + Shadowbringers

worthy rain
# slate arrow because you don't own the base game

I mean, play the free trial

Then buying complete plus SHB

But have to made again the progress in ARR and HS?

It has to let free trial ones to updgrade to complete plus SHB somehow

Just curious, now I know that complete plus SHB ok, get it

slate arrow
#

I'm sorry, there's too much going on

faint flare
#

Your progress carries over when you buy

warped nest
#

Your progress doesn't get wipe clean

worthy rain
#

That is what I want

slate arrow
#

As long as you register it to the right service account you can continue your progression where you left off, yes

worthy rain
#

Not start counting the month but after start SBlood

Just make sure to purchase for the right region as well

Because there's 3 regions on Global

So if you paid for Starter Edition on Steam, you will need to buy Shadowbringers on Steam too

#

And vice versa

slate arrow
#

Same applies for the trial as well. Though, you can transfer to steam, you can't go to Standalone if you have a steam trial

warped nest
#

The only exception is, Square Enix Free Trial can become Steam Starter Edition or Square Enix Starter Edition

#

How often should I upgrade my Retainer's gear?

Every five levels or so?

worthy rain
#

complete edition plus shadowbringers is the best method, ok

Sadly then, the suscription starts counting in ARR, not in SBlood

#

No

#

You JUST need complete edition

It has Shadowbringers with it

Ok question does switching within the same data center to another sever affect process overall?

whole rapids
#

@tender estuary I tried running it a few times and reinstalling and restarting but nothing has worked, I'll just assume they patched it or something :/

#

Thank you for your help though!!

slate arrow
tender estuary
#

@whole rapids yeah np sorry you couldnt get it working, I'd send square support an email or try the official forums might get an official reply with better resources

#

might be too late for live support so you could try that tomorrow

sacred canopy
#

So u know how primal is a data center and within the data center there are different kinds of servers. Can I switch with the data center to another server within the same data center with the same character or I have to start fresh

whole rapids
#

I'll try that, thank you!

World Visit System

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

More information

hot eagle
#

or do you mean a full switch between servers, for a full switch you would need to pay or make another character

worthy rain
#

servers are regions?

slate arrow
#

No, it's about your SE account/Mogstation account

#

You either need an NA, EU and Other Regions, or JP code for your account for the Starter/Base + Shadowbringers Key(s)

#

(You can play on any DataCenter you want, this only applies to your SE account)

worthy rain
#

Ok, the discussion earlier, I mistake purchase SHB, with complete, that gives you the ownship

slate arrow
#

no, that's correct

#

Buying Complete gives you both a Base Game + Shadowbringers key

worthy rain
#

So well, dont wanna annoy

But is it not best for do all content quickly, till latest update of SHB, to make in free till HS

And then upgrade to complete (ownship of ARR and HS), and the suscription starts counting when you start SBlood, rather than the first one, ARR?

slate arrow
#

The sub starts ticking once you redeem it.

#

There's no way to play on the Free Trial after you upgrade.

worthy rain
#

But I mistook to purchase SHB, rather to say complete

slate arrow
#

Then you'll want to buy the Starter Edition

worthy rain
#

half of the expansions can be made free in other words

worthy rain
slate arrow
#

Buying Shadowbringers and Buying Complete and buying Starter means different things, sorry

worthy rain
#

The chart above did not say that(?)

#

with starter there is no SBlood and SHB

#

but with complete, yes

slate arrow
#

Complete comes with two keys, Starter and Shadowbringers

#

Stormblood comes with Shadowbringers

worthy rain
#

So, from free trial to upgrade to complete (I mistook and say to only purchase SHB, rather than complete)

#

it is the best way

open ember
#

The complete edition is one key. I have purchased it twice

#

And it was never two keys

slate arrow
#

Oh, then I was mistaken, whoops

#

But yes, if you want it all at once, complete is the way to go.

open ember
#

But it'll still give you all the expacs

worthy rain
slate arrow
#

You can buy it now and redeem it later.

#

The free days only start ticking down once you register it to your account.

worthy rain
warped nest
#

Complete give 30 days sub

worthy rain
#

like can I get another month for free?

warped nest
#

Because complete is just starter + Shadowbringers

worthy rain
#

Not another month, free trial does not have time limit

warped nest
#

But it is not the same kind of free as Free Trial

#

It is gift 30 days sub from paying for Starter Edition

worthy rain
#

only payed for the expansions

slate arrow
#

You can't play at all once the days are up

worthy rain
#

What I recommend is to complete till HS in free trial, and then upgrade complete edition

Then, start to progress all you can in that ''free'' month

slate arrow
#

that's correct

worthy rain
#

and well, almost free

#

not bad

warped nest
#

Just for future reference, Heavensward is HW

worthy rain
warped nest
#

👌

#

And for more future reference

worthy rain
#

Man, when I started the thread I mistook SHB, rather I had to say complete, ok

warped nest
#

When XIV do any free login campaign (maybe 2-3 times a year?), it only applies to players who paid at least one month of subscription

#

And the gifted 30 days from Starter Edition doesn't count

worthy rain
warped nest
#

Which part?

worthy rain
#

In the ''free'' month of the starter (within complete, yes, not only SHB, ok)

can you not complete SBlood and SHB? and then cancel something before the 30 day?

#

to not pay a month?

#

free trial plus free starter month

warped nest
#

OK, when you register your starter edition

faint flare
#

You're not automatically renewing your time

warped nest
#

You get 30 days gifted

#

But when it expires, you just won't be able to play

#

Because you didn't set up a way to pay for subscription

#

There is also not way to pause, and save the remaining days for next year. In case this is what you are thinking

slate arrow
#

That's what a subscription means, you can't just pause one in the middle.

warped nest
#

(I am actually very sure that's what you were thinking)

warped nest
#

It cannot charge your money because you haven't told it how to

#

So when the gifted 30 days runs out, you just can't play

#

Until you register a payment method in mogstation

worthy rain
#

What I was gone do is this:

Free trial, complete till HW

Then, upgrade to complete, and the most quickly complete all till latest update

But things only get better, now I know that within complete because it has starter within it, there is a free 30 days

warped nest
#

That's doable

wheat plume
#

Ranking ends today or tomorrow?

faint flare
#

2 days 9 hours

wheat plume
#

thxs

worthy rain
#

Have to be quickly

warped nest
#

You will be on a very tight schedule, but doable

worthy rain
#

To have it in 30 days?

slate arrow
#

unless you're like me who no-lifed all the way through stormblood in a little under two weeks

faint flare
#

And not skipping cutscenes

worthy rain
#

of the free time

warped nest
#

If you are in any way want to be invested in the story

faint flare
#

If you skip and rush it then you'll get through

warped nest
#

Try to consider paying for at least 1 month

worthy rain
warped nest
#

So you get twice the time to go through Stormblood and Shadowbringers

#

30 days gifted + 30 days paid

#

And paying for one 30 days, will make you eligible for future free login campaigns

wheat plume
#

Are my crystals and clusters gonna be needed in larger quantities in SB or ShB? I have at least 1 thousand of almost each and I was thinking on selling them

worthy rain
warped nest
#

Keep them

worthy rain
#

Of course, not gonna skip

warped nest
#

If you want to do crafters

slate arrow
#

if it helps, my no-lifeing didn't skip most expansion cutscenes

#

only the ARR ones

warped nest
#

Otherwise, sell crystals in bundles of 200 or 500

worthy rain
warped nest
#

And clusters in bundle of 100

slate arrow
#

I played the game for about 10 hours a day for like 2-3 weeks

warped nest
worthy rain
#

This is awesome, withing complete there is a 30 days for free hahaha

#

If make it quickly, not gonna pay a suscription

slate arrow
#

it got worse :>

#

or was it 2019

#

definitely 2019 actually I dont remember it's been a while

#

anyways that's for another time

warped nest
#

My longest session is 12 hours when I hit the end of Shadowbringers. Got to the final stretch in Tempest at midnight, finished the whole thing, sat in awe of the ending, and went to bed at 4 am

Anyway, Jota, have fun with the game

#

And drop by here to ask questions

worthy rain
#

How do you play so much? Have a break, with the pc or console on rest mode, or not resting?

worthy rain
warped nest
#

Play with phone or look at ceiling when waiting for match making

worthy rain
#

likely I skip paying a suscription hahaha

wheat plume
#

what are good ways of making gil with a house, beside selling it expensiver or doing parties charging for stuff?

slate arrow
#

for me, it was finals week when i started

worthy rain
warped nest
#

Or stand up and walk to the kitchen to get water

#

You can no longer sell a house to another player

#

The game made sure that it cannot happen

worthy rain
#

What I wanted to ask is also, when new expansion is scheduled?

slate arrow
#

don't really know yet

warped nest
#

We will find out in February, probably

slate arrow
#

set to be announced soon

worthy rain
#

So, purchasing complete, comes with it, not now that is only until SHB

warped nest
#

An announcement is scheduled in February

#

Yes, if you buy Complete when the new expansion is out

worthy rain
#

way better, yes

warped nest
#

Then that complete will have level 60-90 contents

#

Yup

worthy rain
#

lets see, depending when is released

February is something to be announced, but that does mean is near or in Febrary, or not?

warped nest
#

The norm is September ish

slate arrow
#

but corona threw everything off so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

worthy rain
#

so maybe the new expansion gets before september 2021

slate arrow
#

a delay is still a delay

open coral
#

It's all the same delay.

warped nest
#

They were working in 2020

#

The delay carries over

slate arrow
#

everything got pushed back about 6 months

open coral
#

They're not going to just push the schedule back to what it was and sacrifice the quality of the game.

slate arrow
#

and we mean everything

worthy rain
#

6 monts, so september 2020 then March 2021

slate arrow
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

worthy rain
#

no september 2021

slate arrow
#

we don't know

warped nest
#

We genuinely don't know

worthy rain
#

Yes, I wanted to point that

warped nest
#

We are just fairly sure that it will not be on September

#

Unless they made compromise

#

Also, parts of the team are working on ffxvi as well

slate arrow
#

nah that team has been working on FFXVI since heavensward-ish

#

do party members have to be in the same area to see each other's /random

slate arrow
#

There might be crossover but Yoshi-P is good at keeping people on track so crossovers between teams shouldn't be too common

worthy rain
#

I will start with free trial hahahaha

#

then wait for february announcement hahaha

warped nest
#

I think random is more like say, in terms of its range

#

But I cannot be sure

worthy rain
#

well, it would be more expansions in the 30 days, but, maybe the 30 days are augmented?

#

e.e

open coral
#

What

worthy rain
#

just joking

slate arrow
#

expansions never come with time

worthy rain
open coral
#

Yes, because the Complete Edition includes the base game

#

The 30 days actually come with the base game

slate arrow
#

that's because it includes Starter

hot eagle
#

complete only come with time since the starter/base comes with 30d

worthy rain
slate arrow
#

???

worthy rain
#

in short words: free trial plus free 30 days of complete edition

yes that's what he's referring to

If you don't like being a tank/healer your queue times will suffer because dps, but we're talking 10-15 minutes if you're queueing in peak times rather than instant queues.

Unless you get someone to queue with you who is a tank or healer.

Don't feel like you need to play a tank or healer if you're not comfortable fulfilling the requirements of those roles.

worthy rain
#

is it not recommend to start as a black mage? Then in Sblood switch to dark knight?

open coral
#

Nothing wrong with starting as Thaumaturge (Black Mage)

worthy rain
#

have to level up all the way dark knight right?

whole wasp
#

dark knight starts at 30 but you gotta get to heavensward first to access the job trainer for dark knight

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

open coral
#

You can switch to DRK when you reach Heavensward (level 50-60) main city.

robust crow
#

for /random, do people need to be in the same area to see the roll?

slate arrow
#

Heavensward jobs do not have any prerequirements

obsidian patio
#

Random uses say radius I think

worthy rain
#

awesome

red apex
#

Is aether, gilgamesh a good server?

robust crow
#

they're all good servers

worthy rain
red apex
#

I was invited to join from another discord

robust crow
#

most gilgamesh people are toxic

#

just kidding

red apex
#

Lmao

worthy rain
#

but, yes, if you can pass the expansions in the 30 free days

#

you pay no sub

whole wasp
#

its fine. gilgamesh used to raiding central but that was a long long time ago

red apex
#

I see

open coral
#

It is highly recommended, but not required, to pick a server with the "preferred" status.

red apex
#

What do you mean preferred status

worthy rain
red apex
#

What is a popular server for tgis group

worthy rain
#

just enjoy it, of course

slate arrow
#

yes.

obsidian patio
#

This discord plays everywhere

open coral
#

Certain servers are flagged as "preferred" servers, and reward you with a 100% xp earned buff as long as the server maintains that status up to level 70 on all classes.

red apex
#

Definitely will try to

slate arrow
#

(We're all over the place, there's no specific server we all play on.)

red apex
#

Ohh nice

slate arrow
#

(As long as you're in the same datacenter, you can play with everyone else on the same DC)

red apex
#

Cool cool. Good to know

#

Thanks guys

worthy rain
#

salutes thanks for commenting (y)

red apex
#

Do you guys play kbm or controller

robust crow
#

when quick synthing, does having HQ mats improve the average HQ chance

obsidian patio
#

I play controller

open coral
#

Some of us put our main server in our name - for example, my main server is Primal DC - Excalibur server.

slate arrow
#

KBM here

open coral
#

I do controller on PC

obsidian patio
#

HQ materials mean nothing for quick synth AFAIK

obsidian patio
#

Never really notice a meaningful difference

red apex
#

I would think kbm would be superior

#

But I heard control was good too

simple shore
#

Kinda wish quick synth would stop HQ'ing, tbh. But thats a different matter entirely.

red apex
#

I just like to quickly be able to chat

obsidian patio
#

The game was designed with controller in mind

red apex
#

And discord

obsidian patio
#

I do recommend a keyboard for in game chat though

open coral
#

Depends on your preferences. Controller support is very good for XIV because it's a SE game with cross-platform.

obsidian patio
#

That’s still a definite

open coral
#

Yes

#

Definitely keyboard for chat

#

If you're on PS4, get a USB keyboard because the software keyboard is garbage

#

Speaking from personal experience.

red apex
#

I’ve been playing genshin impact with keyboard so I think I can manage

obsidian patio
#

The only real sore spot with controller is targeting a specific enemy in big clumps of targets like PVP

red apex
#

I have a pc

open coral
#

This game has a lot more buttons to push than Genshin

slate arrow
#

I think the average is about 24 buttons a job

open coral
#

And a much more complex control scheme.

slate arrow
#

not including movement

forest sage
#

it's a lot slower paced than action games though

obsidian patio
#

24-30 is where most jobs sit at

red apex
#

What?? That’s insane lol

pearl cedar
#

OK IM LVL 15 HOW DO I GET TO LOMINSA

obsidian patio
#

Keep doing the story

slate arrow
#

@pearl cedar do the MSQ quest

open coral
pearl cedar
#

uggggggggggggh

open coral
#

Because you need to be level 15 MSQ

pearl cedar
#

msq

slate arrow
pearl cedar
#

?

slate arrow
#

this

pearl cedar
#

what is msq

#

OH

#

how do i check owo

open coral
#

Open your Journal

slate arrow
#

Should be a HUD element

forest sage
#

well just check whatever step you're on, but you'll get sent to limsa as part of the MSQ

#

you can't really get there before you get sent there

open coral
#

Look at the quest details for the quest you're on with that marker.

pearl cedar
#

aww

forest sage
#

you can travel from grid to uldah or vice versa, but limsa is basically locked until you get airship access as part of the MSQ(in the lvl 15 MSQ)

open coral
#

The quest you'll need is "The ____ Envoy" where the blank is the name of your starting city.

slate arrow
#

Also, you can't run to limsa because it's physically disconnected from transition zones and none of the transit porters will let you get there early anyways

pearl cedar
#

OH

#

IM LVL 14

#

LETS GOOO

open coral
#

You're close then!

forest sage
#

well, maybe

open coral
#

Just a little more!

forest sage
#

if you're on a preferred server you can be 14 and be on like lvl 6 MSQ

open coral
#

There's only like, 2-3 level 14 quests.

pearl cedar
#

open coral
#

We're here to help the needy 😄

toxic jewel
#

So i discarded my Leonhart chest like months ago cuz im smart. is there some NPC i can rebuy it from?

red apex
#

what class would you recommend? Samurai looks badass but I kinda like long range

#

i heard the mages are good

#

can't decide X_X

leaden ginkgo
#

so I just turned in 5 Grade 4 skybuilder rope. How come I didn't get any stamps ?

plain python
#

red mage is fast-casting class

#

if you like traditional mage, go black

open coral
#

Depends on what role you want to fulfill in a party @red apex

slate arrow
slate arrow
red apex
#

oh yeah but to decide which route i'm going

#

does warrior get boring?

slate arrow
#

depends on who you ask

open coral
#

If you want to be ranged dps, your starting options are ACN (Arcanist - a spellcaster with a pet), THM (Thaumaturge - a mage), or ARC (Archer - self explanatory)

slate arrow
#

WAR lets me go unga bunga with buttons so I enjoy it

leaden ginkgo
#

@slate arrow vierbruh so .... how would I continue to get them ?

open coral
#

WAR is a tank class, so if you play it, be prepared to fill that role in dungeons

plain python
#

if you just want to quickly breeze through MSQ to access expansion classes, go tank or heal to queue faster. After that, your choice
