a shadowbringers hunt train is 120 revelation tomes in about 15 minutes
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
plus nuts, materia, and poetics
Is there a VPN with a free trial I can use?
how do I get involved with that
Don't know what the crystal hunts discord is
Probably just look at Centurio hunt discord
What is the best food for DRK?
Depends on your build, but I heard Smoked Chicken is a pretty safe choice
Thanks!
Question about Armory bonus. If my main class is lvl 60 I will only get armory bonus until lvl 50 right?
Until lv60
noop BLU question
is it true that eruption can be learnt from normal mode ifrit? 
Yes
Got it
As long as the skill is casted
It can be learbed
Regardless of Difficulty
As long as its casted
and sync = 100%?
Yes
Armoury bonus always applies to jobs under your highest level job. As long as jobs remain under your highest level it will apply
@faint flare Thanks ❤️
for most part all I can say is manually resize the textbox if you need to

I'm having problems with the position of status effects bar in the hud
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?
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.
Yes
Look at a magicite wheel
Oh, it's the number that moves around, right?
Yes
Gotcha.
I'm having trouble setting up my status effects bar in the hud, any tips?
I put mine near the bottom near my hotbar usually. There seems to be good unless you had somewhere else in mind
Oh, I did split mine between positive and negative effects
Put the negative ones in top so I can keep track of raid mechanics
I blow up my debuffs because I'm an idiot so i can see them easily
Because there's alot of buffs and debuffs
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
I've seen that, I do not envy you
How does the seal system in Khloe’s journal work? Each objective rewards a random seal?
Thank you.
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
do the quest
Oh I see :p
Do the reputation quest nearby
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
if you want to, sure
except if they're in ARR there aren't any
you have enough armoury chest space to equip every class, so egh
you don't get Dancer till 60 and Machinist until HW
unless they buy a boost
Oh lol
Don't worry about leveling then
Just do MSQ
I am in a perpetual state of no armor space
imo, grab at least one gatherer (botanist / miner) and one crafter for later
clean out your chest omg
desynth, or donate to your gc for seals
you're only using 5 of those
Just sell whatever you use the least
keep the "I'll use those later" things in a retainer or in your choco bag
Hehe
that way they don't clutter your armoury chest
MY GOD- how
and I bet you can throw out like 90% of that
Please you’ll get so much gil if you sell like 90 percent of it
I doubt that
😑
you don't need new gear every level
Have fun with zero space my friend
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...
yknow, I thought I play the game wrong, but excuse me like what are you doing.
I bet I could sell it for a lot
pentameld it
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

Nope
no, meld chance is determined by grade and meld slot
Oh, so to Pentameld I have to go down in grade each time?
No
not necessarily
The success rate will go down
overmelding is only worth it if you're aiming at super endgame stuff(currently I'd say only expert recipes make it worth it)
then yeah you'll spend several minions on melding
._.
its 5%
millions
for t7 in 5th slot
No
no
Rip
it states in the tooltip it can only be overmelded once
says 0%
I can overmeld it again
Cannot be melded onto a piece of equipment past the first advanced materia melding slot.
Just with a lower quality
i'm talking specifically about t8/t6
Ah
!item Savage Aim Materia Viii
VIII and VI can only overmelded once, after that you have to meld VII, V or under
Cannot be melded onto a piece of equipment past the first advanced materia melding slot.
What is the best thing to do with old materia?
can also transmute it
and hop for crafting/gathering materia since those generally sell a bit better than combat materia
How often are hairstyles added to the game? Every X patch? Randomly? Etc.
Whenever they want
its fairly frequently
is ixial tribe still most efficient way to lvl up classes to vll 50 from crafting even after maxing it out?
skybuilder's is still the best way right now, if you have access to ishgard
adding ixali as part of daily rotation is fine, but wouldn't have called it efficient to begin with since they're...daily
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
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?
Those can still drop
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!
There are NPCs to get back most unique gear IE quest gear, right?
Quest-exclusive gear can be bought back from the calamity salvager
As quests primarily give crafted gear
But stuff like job gear and glamour is via calamity salvager
Or centurio seals for 60s
Most of the level cap gear from story is old tomestone sets or dungeon gear
Everything can be retained through some means
my dancer is lvl 60 howcome i cant get this quest? 
DoH=crafter
Need to be a crafter
You need a displice of HAND
Hand, crafter.

Which is crafter
it's to make glamours so you'd need to craft them anyway
Its teaching you how to craft glamour prisms
you can use them without this quest(the quest before lets you use them)
Says right there in the description
oh okay i didnt know about the previous quest i guess it came with boost
yeah it's automatically unlocked when you boost iirc
can you buy glamour prisms off market?
pog
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
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?
Do your job quests
You're given a coffwr with i90 gear
Equip it
Check what jobs you're recruiting for. Just because people cant see it doesn't mean they can enter. If you've limited/restricted a job then they cant enter
Or buy gear with Gil
is there a guide for eureka?
so i just reached shadowbringers, but im almost lvl 80, should i just waste the xp when i get to that point or what?
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

Ironworks
Cant get ironworks
considering that they're likely trying to get into castrum, ironworks isn't really an option
Before doing that
it technically is
but getting poetics to buy it will be kind of harder to do without having completed prae
Whats the fastest way to lvl up DoH and DoL
need to do job quest for the skill anyway
for 1-30
Just do your crafting logs to 20
1-15 can be done crafting/gathering items in your logs
And then ishgard it up
Beast tribes
is there something similar to the kirin mount for collecting all birds/dogs/dragons?
Yes
yes
beast tribe for
Birds and dogs yes
well dragons not yet
doh and dol?
Dragons not yet
cool, thanks
since there''s still a trial in 5.5
ahh gotcha
phoenix for birds, 9 tail kamuy for dogs, and dragons is up in the air until we get to 5.5
probs big dragon. lets be honest
they've all been like "super forms" of the base models
but yeah its all guesswork
How do I unlock custom deliveries in ShB?
One needs 5.1 story done, the other needs a side quest in the firmament done
I can't find the sidequest ._.
Mmm not updated witu Ehti
you need to do the msq "Moving Forward" to unlock the eulmore custom delivery npc
Which is like the second to last quest
which is the 2nd to last quest for 5.1
Ehti tuo is in the Firmament, after some side quests that introduce him
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
Is it possible to give a macro the "system configuration" icon?
What's it for?
You can drag the system config menu to your hotbar if it's for that
Making a ui macro and I like the system configuration image. Could just use the default "gear" but now I'm curious
but I don't think you can use it's icon
iirc you can't use menu icons for micon
I suppose you could mod the game to do it
Naw, not that big a deal
@faint flare do level 70 custom deliveries give more EXP than level 60 ones?
Or is it still the same
The Shadowbringers one give more rewards
I'm only really looking for EXP
They'll give more
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
I'm wanting to get past the 70-71 levels on my Blacksmith
Cuz that's the hardest part to get past for me >_>
question: would you guys say ninja is hard to play??
Not really
it takes some getting used to, maybe more than some other classes
Its a rapid burst for 15s every minute
but the rotation is pretty static
But outside of that its just 1 2 3
that sounds good, i was a little afraid to try it but now ill give it a go and see how it goes
like learning the ninjutsus can take a little while, some people are better at it than others
but your performance depends 100% on performing your ninjitsus well??
If you mispress your mudra then it fails
well failling a ninjutsu is a big issue
casting the wrong one is a smaller dps loss(unless you do hyoton)
but you definitely want to cast the right ones
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?
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
kind of like dancer steps but with a fix order rather than a random one?
for example 123 is the same as 213
yeah, you just have to avoid hitting the same one twice
so you only kinda muscle memory the combos you use the most and then it just flows pretty naturally
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
can you triple weave assuming u had like nearly zero ping
No
on controller, for any class it's useful to add standard bars where you put cooldowns so you can always see them
Physically impossible
why?
Due the animation lock on skills
oGCDs have a "cast time/delay/lock"
iirc it's like .7s for most of them?
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?
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
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
Use third eye
you use mind's eye before dmg
And get hit
oh yeah third eye
so i can have it for example in the expanded cross hotbar by pressing R2 L2 together and then back to main crossbars
nice nice!!
yeah, so you go to r2+l2, do the combo and go back, that sounds great
I also have them on L2 for aoe reasons
and you can put ninjutsu on a bar somewhere to see the cooldown/charges
if i had a penny for the amount of times i've pressed bloodbath or shade shift mid ninjutsu and ate shit for it
or well a mudra
i'd not be rich but you hate how much it happens
ninjutsu doesn't show anything
Every skill has at least 0.7s animation lock
So 0.7s from gcd + 1.4s from 2 ogcds is 2.1s of animation lock. Adding another would be 2.8s and clip by 0.3s
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
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
More like stupid phoenix stuff
Just remove everlasting flight or move it to the summoner itself and its fixed
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
im a level 20 weaver and I ate pea soup. Why can't I get 200 cp ?
Probably your Default CP is too low that the food cant give you its full effect
Food works on percentages. If your stats aren’t high enough you don’t get the full benefit
!item pea soup
Its 10% of your stats, to a maximum of X
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
To get the full benefit of Pea soup you need 200 CP
Thanks for the answers , so how else would i increase my cp ?
Better accessories
gear ? man i didn't think crafting classes had gear
Crafters and gatherers are classes in their own rights
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
im just doing it so I can make armor and weapons I like. The prices on the market board are bullshit
obviously having crafters also means you can craft your own gear and stuff
what gear should I be going for for level 80?
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)
is the gear from eulmore worth getting?
the ones that need tomestones of allegory?
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
If a quest has a plus sign, it means what
revelation tome?
tome of revelation
they're the weekly limited tomes you'll get for 80 content
along with allegory
where do you spend that?
It unlocks something
@warm lily ? means it unlocks content, dungeons or features and such
tomes of revelation are spent in eulmore too, same NPC as allegory
Eulmore after Shadowbringers completion
Ty
Any 80 content rewards allegory and revelation
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?
No
You lose e10s loot the MOMENT you load in
Once your screen fades to black, its gone

If I keep on grinding Dzemail Darkhold, which is my highest level dungeon(raid?), will I eventually get gear that will push me to ilvl 42?
OH SHIT! I fucking forgot about that. Thanks!
Which will guarantee push you over
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
If we have to explain why friends are important...then there are larger problems in action here
I'm trying to join a fc I was hoping to join this one with a friend of mine.
Are you on the free trial?
Free trial? U talking about the free trail on the dlc than yes
Unfortunately, free trial players cannot join FCs
can u gift minions ? like to other people
if it says market tradable then yes
i have a fat cat on an account in a japanese datacenter and i want it on an account in a diff datacenter...
So do I have to wait until the trail is over than?
If you used it then no
aww
You’ll have to buy the game, so yes
The trial has no time limit, but comes with a lot of limitations to some of the social aspects of the game
I paid for the first month
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?
Any set of 10 floors
thx
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
If you bought the game, then you're good
The only requirement is just own the game
Ok then is it possible for myself and my friend to join the fc?
Yes
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
whats up
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
XIV has Mac version, but I'm gonna be honest, most of us here probably don't own one
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
Let alone finding people who played in it
well thats not entirely what they are asking
Wait... XIV doesn't have Mac ver?
it does
Ahh
they arent intel based chips they are internally designed
I do know they have an x86 emulator built into it
there's no M1 mac official version, you can run it in compatability layer
I would do a trial or run the benchmark to see if it runs
people are saying low fps tho
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
I did a little research
if you have Rosetta 2 installed which is the application layer emulator
it seems to run okayish
the primal fights are not very frecuent are they I have waited 45min lol
Rosetta 2 enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a Mac with an Intel processor.
If the trials are the “Extreme” version then that’s why, people dont do them in the duty finder due to their difficulty
Also I’m pretty sure it’s late as hell over in Europe
im just levelling nothing extreme
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?
oh awesome thank you! the benchmark and installer are downloading so I'll let you know if it works
sounds good
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
I mean: free till Heavensward included
is this game cheaper on europe than wow?
!faq subpriceeu
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) 🙂
Then, within a month, progress till Shadowbringers
oh I see what you are asking
Then, only pay again for next update
You can grab a list from the NPC or from an interactable near Ulan in Idyllshire
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
How does my friend and I join the fc?
Around x6.4, y4.8
Thanks Wynne, trying to cheese it so i dont need to leve farm XD tyvm 🙂
it seems that the benchmark tool (or at least the only ones I can find) are only offered in .exe
cancel before the month
Time credit you mean what it is left of the monthly suscription right?
If you want to join an existing FC find a member of that FC and either ask for an invite or apply to their FC through the company profile
In 10$ currently you can progress till Shadowbringer?
If you want to make one for yourself then go to the OIC people at any grand company and request to start one
I dont have any experience with the mac client so forgive me 
what
the free til HS, and then, within a month, 10$
no, you need to buy shadowbringers
then yes if you continue paying your sub, you need to own shadowbringers
no its 13 USD for entry level and 15 for standard, you must purchase the newest expansion to get prior expansions
^
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
you need the complete edition, or the base game + shadowbringers
I know that until HS I have it free
Then, for SB and SHBR, pay SHBR complete edition or so?
the entry month reduction is still applied after you buy the complete edition from been a trial and reciving the first free month?
i dont think he has the base game
no worries! when I searched for if anyone else asked questions about the new chips I saw you talking about it so I figured you would probably be the best one to ask haha
oh right, then yeah buy complete edition
what is entry, and standard?
if you buy the standard, it upgrades the trial account to a standard account
!faq subprice
if you want SB and SHB you need to buy shadowbringers
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
yep, entry has a max of 8 characters, standard has a max of 40
Almost no reason to do standard
And if you found a reason to do standard down the line, just upgrade to standard then
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
yeah, if you buy a time card though it will only let you choose standard
unless they changed that
Yeah time cards are only standard
Ok, so, always entry for now
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...
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?
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
You dont OWN anything on trial
Shadowbringers itself doesn't include Starter Edition
If you want to get Shadowbringers, you must buy complete edition or starter edition + Shadowbringers
yeah you need to purchase the complete edition or buy ARR starter edition + shadowbringers
What Vinyl said
Buying just Shadowbringers when you're on trial does nothing
Cause again
You DONT OWN it
n-no u
you dont own it?
you can pass the progress I think
dont you mean that?
No
its free
you have to buy it to own it
You dont own arr and heavensward
No progress?
no thats not what we mean
You cant use DLC FOR A game you dont own
I read that free trial is now till HV
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
Of course
You dont own the license
you can progress but youre limited to the trial limitations. you dont have access to the functions of the whole game
Read what I type
therefore you dont own it
the standard edition UPGRADES and allows you TO OWN the game
but then you have to start paying the sub
yeah you upgrade to a full account
IM LVL 10 HOW DO I GET ROGUE
which converts your trial account to a regular account
it unlocks more content, more social features, allows you to do more basic features etc.
Once you complete your level 10 class quest for your starting class
Go to the rogues guild in Limsa
After doing your lv10 class quest
You can visit the lower floor in Limsa Lominsa, to become a rogue
if your starting city isnt limsa you gotta hit lv 15 on msq to get access to limsa
or just make a new character since you're only lv 10 if you dont wanna wait, really up to you
But I have ARR and HS made it for free, then purchase SHB, so I can pass within a month more quickly, to not pay a second (would be the third), cause ARR and HS were in the free, not in the standard
no
you have it as a trial
Ok
not a license
you don't own ARR or HS
you need to buy the base game + shadowbringers
you're on the Free Trial
or the complete edition
Just because you're allowed to access Arr and heavensward doesn't mean you own them
Ok, got it
Now curious, what happens if someones do what I said?
we've said many times that owning the trial version doesnt mean you own the game
Again TRIAL is demo
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
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
I'm sorry, there's too much going on
Your progress carries over when you buy
Your progress doesn't get wipe clean
That is what I want
As long as you register it to the right service account you can continue your progression where you left off, yes
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
Lool, lots of info, thanks for commenting (y)
Oh, Steam Launcher and Square Launcher doesn't mix

So if you paid for Starter Edition on Steam, you will need to buy Shadowbringers on Steam too
And vice versa
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
The only exception is, Square Enix Free Trial can become Steam Starter Edition or Square Enix Starter Edition
complete edition plus shadowbringers is the best method, ok
Sadly then, the suscription starts counting in ARR, not in SBlood
Ok, I missread something above then
Ok question does switching within the same data center to another sever affect process overall?
@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!!
I don't know what you're asking?
@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
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
I'll try that, thank you!

Ah, you mean World Visit
!faq WorldVisit
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.
or do you mean a full switch between servers, for a full switch you would need to pay or make another character
servers are regions?
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)
Ok, the discussion earlier, I mistake purchase SHB, with complete, that gives you the ownship
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?
The sub starts ticking once you redeem it.
There's no way to play on the Free Trial after you upgrade.
exactly
But I mistook to purchase SHB, rather to say complete
Then you'll want to buy the Starter Edition
half of the expansions can be made free in other words
no, complete one, because SHB
Buying Shadowbringers and Buying Complete and buying Starter means different things, sorry
The chart above did not say that(?)
with starter there is no SBlood and SHB
but with complete, yes
Complete comes with two keys, Starter and Shadowbringers
Stormblood comes with Shadowbringers
So, from free trial to upgrade to complete (I mistook and say to only purchase SHB, rather than complete)
it is the best way
Oh, then I was mistaken, whoops
But yes, if you want it all at once, complete is the way to go.
But it'll still give you all the expacs
but careful, only after completing HS
You can buy it now and redeem it later.
The free days only start ticking down once you register it to your account.
free days, you mean complete also has free time?
Complete give 30 days sub
like can I get another month for free?
Because complete is just starter + Shadowbringers
Not another month, free trial does not have time limit
But it is not the same kind of free as Free Trial
It is gift 30 days sub from paying for Starter Edition
If in that month you complete SBlood and SHB, and stops the suscription
only payed for the expansions
You can't play at all once the days are up
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
that's correct
Just for future reference, Heavensward is HW
got it
Man, when I started the thread I mistook SHB, rather I had to say complete, ok
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
this is what I dont understand
Which part?
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
OK, when you register your starter edition
You're not automatically renewing your time
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
That's what a subscription means, you can't just pause one in the middle.
(I am actually very sure that's what you were thinking)
would be great lool
nope
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
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
That's doable
Ranking ends today or tomorrow?
2 days 9 hours
thxs
So, yes, with free trial plus the free 30 days of the complete edition, you can progress all
Have to be quickly
You will be on a very tight schedule, but doable
You mean, only story related is long in SBlood and SHB?
To have it in 30 days?
unless you're like me who no-lifed all the way through stormblood in a little under two weeks
very well
not even the half
And not skipping cutscenes
of the free time
If you are in any way want to be invested in the story
If you skip and rush it then you'll get through
Try to consider paying for at least 1 month
yes, only for it, not grinding or whatever
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
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
without skipping it seems difficult to make the expansions in 30 days hahahaha
Keep them
Of course, not gonna skip
If you want to do crafters
Otherwise, sell crystals in bundles of 200 or 500
what is no-lifeing?
And clusters in bundle of 100
I played the game for about 10 hours a day for like 2-3 weeks
So like everyone else on expansion release?
This is awesome, withing complete there is a 30 days for free hahaha
If make it quickly, not gonna pay a suscription
ysee, this was back in may of 2018 before shadowbringers came out
it got worse :>
or was it 2019
definitely 2019 actually I dont remember it's been a while
anyways that's for another time
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
How do you play so much? Have a break, with the pc or console on rest mode, or not resting?
yes of course, now better that within the purchase there is a free time hahaha
Play with phone or look at ceiling when waiting for match making
likely I skip paying a suscription hahaha
what are good ways of making gil with a house, beside selling it expensiver or doing parties charging for stuff?
for me, it was finals week when i started
there is in phone also, impressive
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
What I wanted to ask is also, when new expansion is scheduled?
don't really know yet
We will find out in February, probably
set to be announced soon
So, purchasing complete, comes with it, not now that is only until SHB
An announcement is scheduled in February
Yes, if you buy Complete when the new expansion is out
way better, yes
lets see, depending when is released
February is something to be announced, but that does mean is near or in Febrary, or not?
The norm is September ish
But you mean 2020, not this one
so maybe the new expansion gets before september 2021
a delay is still a delay
It's all the same delay.
everything got pushed back about 6 months
They're not going to just push the schedule back to what it was and sacrifice the quality of the game.
and we mean everything
6 monts, so september 2020 then March 2021
¯_(ツ)_/¯
no september 2021
we don't know
We genuinely don't know
Yes, I wanted to point that
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
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
There might be crossover but Yoshi-P is good at keeping people on track so crossovers between teams shouldn't be too common
well, it would be more expansions in the 30 days, but, maybe the 30 days are augmented?
e.e
What
just joking
expansions never come with time
I mean, within complete edition, there is 30 days free
Yes, because the Complete Edition includes the base game
The 30 days actually come with the base game
that's because it includes Starter
complete only come with time since the starter/base comes with 30d
read above what I said is the best way to play ffxiv without spending much
???
in short words: free trial plus free 30 days of complete edition
yes that's what he's referring to
^
what this means?
It means "the post above mine says what I would also like to say"
Is free trial worth doing?
Yes
I know you save money but you can’t do everything with friends
ok (y)
Now, what I want to point out is this:
make the free trial, then, wait for new expansion, and then after it comes, purchase complete
yes, at least you should finish up to the end of Heavenwards
The free trial has social restrictions on it @red apex
Yeah that’s what I mean
You can be invited but you can't invite
Ohh okay
you can use Novice Network to help you social with your friend
If your friends are already subscribed, they can add you to parties and their friends list, but you won't be able to do that on your own
in this server, if someone with free trial asks for it, does it work?
Yes? How does that in any way relate to my statement that the Complete Edition only comes with 30 days because it includes the Starter Edition?
your friend can make a party finder and you can join it if he subs 😛
That's up to you. If you're not 100% sure you want to play the game long term, the free trial is a fine way to figure that out.
after your ''what'' comment above
It has a slow start but it gets better as it goes
cheapest method:
free trial till HW, and then, upgrade to complete edition, and in the 30 days free of starter (that is within complete), quickly pass SBlood and SHB
not the same as best social method
play tank/heal class unless you don't mind it even slower (whisper)
I mean, yes, but also just play whatever class you like.
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.
Idk if I’ll be able to quickly pass those but that sounds like an idea
Don't feel like you need to play a tank or healer if you're not comfortable fulfilling the requirements of those roles.
is it not recommend to start as a black mage? Then in Sblood switch to dark knight?
Nothing wrong with starting as Thaumaturge (Black Mage)
have to level up all the way dark knight right?
dark knight starts at 30 but you gotta get to heavensward first to access the job trainer for dark knight
!faq meta
You can switch to DRK when you reach Heavensward (level 50-60) main city.
for /random, do people need to be in the same area to see the roll?
Heavensward jobs do not have any prerequirements
even before, ok
Random uses say radius I think
awesome
Is aether, gilgamesh a good server?
they're all good servers
if not, pay just a month, only one
I was invited to join from another discord
Lmao
its fine. gilgamesh used to raiding central but that was a long long time ago
I see
It is highly recommended, but not required, to pick a server with the "preferred" status.
I’m a slow gamer so likely won’t happen lol
What do you mean preferred status
well, who knows, only story related content maybe is done within those 30 days
What is a popular server for tgis group
just enjoy it, of course
yes.
This discord plays everywhere
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.
Definitely will try to
(We're all over the place, there's no specific server we all play on.)
Ohh nice
(As long as you're in the same datacenter, you can play with everyone else on the same DC)
salutes thanks for commenting (y)
Do you guys play kbm or controller
when quick synthing, does having HQ mats improve the average HQ chance
I play controller
Some of us put our main server in our name - for example, my main server is Primal DC - Excalibur server.
KBM here
I do controller on PC
HQ materials mean nothing for quick synth AFAIK

Never really notice a meaningful difference
Cool good to know
I would think kbm would be superior
But I heard control was good too
Kinda wish quick synth would stop HQ'ing, tbh. But thats a different matter entirely.
I just like to quickly be able to chat
The game was designed with controller in mind
And discord
I do recommend a keyboard for in game chat though
Depends on your preferences. Controller support is very good for XIV because it's a SE game with cross-platform.
That’s still a definite
Yes
Definitely keyboard for chat
If you're on PS4, get a USB keyboard because the software keyboard is garbage
Speaking from personal experience.
I’ve been playing genshin impact with keyboard so I think I can manage
The only real sore spot with controller is targeting a specific enemy in big clumps of targets like PVP
I have a pc
This game has a lot more buttons to push than Genshin
I think the average is about 24 buttons a job
And a much more complex control scheme.
not including movement
it's a lot slower paced than action games though
24-30 is where most jobs sit at
What?? That’s insane lol
OK IM LVL 15 HOW DO I GET TO LOMINSA
Keep doing the story
@pearl cedar do the MSQ quest
Are you level 15 character or level 15 MSQ?
uggggggggggggh
Because you need to be level 15 MSQ
msq
You get used to it.
?
Open your Journal
Should be a HUD element
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
Look at the quest details for the quest you're on with that marker.
aww
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)
The quest you'll need is "The ____ Envoy" where the blank is the name of your starting city.
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
You're close then!
well, maybe
Just a little more!
if you're on a preferred server you can be 14 and be on like lvl 6 MSQ
There's only like, 2-3 level 14 quests.
ty!! u guys are so nice im sorry for being needy whbwhw
We're here to help the needy 😄
:')
So i discarded my Leonhart chest like months ago cuz im smart. is there some NPC i can rebuy it from?
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
so I just turned in 5 Grade 4 skybuilder rope. How come I didn't get any stamps ?
Depends on what role you want to fulfill in a party @red apex
You have to play one of the 2.0 classes first. You can't start as an expansion job.
You're likely too high of a level to get stamps from the rope turn in
depends on who you ask
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)
WAR lets me go unga bunga with buttons so I enjoy it
@slate arrow
so .... how would I continue to get them ?
WAR is a tank class, so if you play it, be prepared to fill that role in dungeons
if you just want to quickly breeze through MSQ to access expansion classes, go tank or heal to queue faster. After that, your choice
do the highest level turn in you can lmao
