I'm planning to start as a Miqo'te Archer

vernal urchin
#

plus you get an xp buff if you have a job above level 50

#

to help level other jobs

cold steppe
#

are low blow/interject even usefull on later bosses? or are they preety much dead buttons/only for dungeon waves at best?

dire prawn
#

So definitely stick to my Archer/Bard then during the free trial to 60

simple shore
#

Usually on an add during the fight

vernal urchin
#

low blow is always useful

#

use it all the time

simple shore
#

I mean

#

He specified "not dungeons" basically

vernal urchin
#

donkey kick a bitch, stop em in their tracks

#

oh

simple shore
#

Low Blow is pretty useless outside of there

cold steppe
#

yeah i meant specyfically bosses since like 99% of bosses outright are immune to both

simple shore
#

but Interject sometimes is mandatory in certain raid encounters

#

The only boss i can think of where Low Blow is useful is Manipulator in A4

#

stunning the legs interrupts them

cold steppe
#

so they're basically keeping add's in check kind of abilities, for the most part at least

simple shore
#

Yeah. Its encounter specific of course.

cold steppe
#

gochu

simple shore
#

Like there is a trial that was added in 5.3 (being nonspecific for reasons)

#

the EX version of it has an add that you MUST use interject on

#

or it will oneshot you

dire prawn
#

I has the same question as SmugAnimeGirl

vernal urchin
#

when i was leveling i tried to stretch my gear out as far as i could lol

cold steppe
#

intresting Balmerick, even tho i dont intrend on trying playing extremes as tank yet, good to know sometimes like this happens, in case i'd do. lol

vernal urchin
#

probably to the detriment of people i was doing dungeons with

#

you can always be safe swapping your gear out every 5 levels or so

simple shore
#

Depending on the method you use to level, your gear may not matter. For example if you level in POTD, your gear doesnt even do anything. If you intend to level by just spamming dungeons you'll usually keep up in gear just by the drops - old ARR dungeons now have the "guaranteed drop" mechanic that they added in HW.

vernal urchin
#

but it can get expensive if you buy it off the marketboard

#

or from npc vendors

cold steppe
#

generally i think you'll have crappy gear until you can wear first tomestone gear, tomestone egar + random dungeon drops should be enough for lvling purposes.

simple shore
#

Every time you complete a levelling dungeon you are guaranteed to get one piece of gear for your job that you dont have already.

#

So if you just spam dungeons you're basically assured to be geared up at all times

dire prawn
#

POTD ๐Ÿค”

simple shore
# dire prawn POTD ๐Ÿค”

POTD is a bit of a different thing. That wouldnt be really relevant to you for a long time since you're just starting the game. Its useful for levelling up alt jobs later.

cold steppe
#

i mean even when doing SHB dungeons, the lvl 70 tomestone gear is basically BIS until like last 2 dungeons from that expansion as well. lol

vernal urchin
#

palace of the dead is a "deep dungeon"

dire prawn
#

Oh I see

simple shore
#

It can be. Or you can solo.

#

Every job is capable of solo'ing POTD to floor 200. Though i wouldnt reccomend that unless you really know what you're doing.

dire prawn
#

Well

#

Here's a new one

simple shore
#

50 or 60 is pretty easy if you've already got your aetherpool rating grinded up. There's only a few things to really watch out for, otherwise its mostly "avoid avoidable damage"

dire prawn
#

I just got the same error code when I tried to confirm a different email

#

And Google says the error code I got is Square Enix's error code for payments failing to go through

#

But I'm just trying to confirm an email? Why is a payment error code appearing for an email confirmation ๐Ÿค”

#

SE support here I come

simple shore
#

Cant help you on that one zombie. Someone else who is better versed in the arcane bullshit that is SE's account management might know though.

dire prawn
#

arcane bullshit LUL

#

Well I sent an email to SE but they're not open for 7 more hours feelsbadman

vestal horizon
simple shore
#

What does your quest specifically say to do

#

Basically screencap the questlog - you cropped that part off

vestal horizon
#

stand lookout

simple shore
#

do /lookout

#

while standing on that spot

vestal horizon
#

ah ok ty

patent citrus
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

so this 8th Feb is the next expansion announcement right? ๐Ÿค”

#

i just saw the banner on my launcher

whole wasp
#

We dont know for sure

simple shore
#

idk. could be. thats what people are speculating.

#

but it could also be "here's 5.5 and a new store glamour"

patent citrus
#

I see, ty ty ^.^ so it's just speculation

simple shore
#

or any number of other things

sick jetty
#

I'm all capped out on Allegory Tomes and I'm ilvl 510 so the Crystarium Gear is more or less useless to me, what else can I do with it so I'm not losing out on tomes?

simple shore
#

Buy allegory mats and sell them

eager fog
#

is there something like a bank in this game?

sick jetty
#

ohh I didn't even think of that

#

ty

simple shore
#

You can also sometimes sell in bulk by just putting up a PF and saying "Selling 2k Allegory"

obsidian patio
simple shore
#

People will jump on that pretty quick often

obsidian patio
#

These are probably your best bet on the highest selling items

wintry chasm
#

You can get retainers when not on free trial and they act as banks for your Gil and also how you sell stuff on the market board to other players

obsidian patio
eager fog
#

arigato @wintry chasm @obsidian patio

sick jetty
#

There's the Chocobo Saddlebag as well for storing items

#

Don't forget about that

simple shore
#

Anything you want the appearance of, convert to glamours and store in the dresser

#

Anything else, dump at the GC vendor. Once you have crafters unlocked and desynth unlocked, desynthing is generally better than GC seals.

sick jetty
#

If the spiritbond of your gear is 100 you can turn it into materia too. Aside from that, you can sell it to a vendor for gil (it's not much but hey it covers teleportation costs lol)

#

Those are all the options you have

#

Aside from just discarding

simple shore
#

Desynth works on anything

#

you dont need spiritbond

#

and you dont need rating anymore like yo uused to

#

spiritbond is for materia

sick jetty
#

yeah spiritbond at 100% for materia

simple shore
#

generally yes

obsidian patio
#

A majority of gear can be desynthed

simple shore
#

Almost any equippable item is desynthable outside of current-tier trial/raid drops

obsidian patio
#

Thereโ€™s like a weird exception category of a very specific set of crafting/gathering gear at 60 and then most quest equipment buyable from the calamity salvager

simple shore
#

And just to clarify, unless you specifically need GC seals, desynthing is usually better than getting GC seals in terms of profitability - particularly as you get higher in level

slate arrow
#

only on desynth level

#

But even then it's only an increased chance of rare loot

#

It's not a loot lockout, just an increased chance

#

It's generally not worth focusing cause the costs will eat up more than you profit from with desynth

simple shore
#

Yeah just desynth everything you acquire naturally that you dont need

#

but dont go out of your way to level it

slate arrow
#

Especially since desynth gain has reduced returns and no returns on stuff too far below

simple shore
#

and you'll eventually cap out everything except for alchemist because fuck alchemist desynth

slate arrow
#

yep

#

It levels differently

simple shore
#

In the old days, we'd buy shit from vendors and grind desynth ranks. But back then, you HAD to have desynth ranks to desynth certain items.

slate arrow
#

Basically, if you desynth a i510 crafted chestpiece, you'll get ~5-10 points to desynth levels

simple shore
#

Thats a thing of the past

slate arrow
#

the closer to get to your desynth level, the lower you gain desynth levels

#

and if it's too far below, no levels whatsoever

#

(since desynth level cap is based on the item level, mostly)

#

Yep.

#

It'll also take quite a bit of desynthing in the last few levels soooo it's not worth focusing unless you're a completionist with too much gil or time

simple shore
#

And again - certain desynth skills are just utter shit. Specifically Alchemist.

slate arrow
#

lolyep

#

wanna guess what alc can desynth

silver ruin
#

pots KEKW

#

i think?

slate arrow
#

yep

#

One of the most expensive things in the game to craft

silver ruin
#

o rip

simple shore
#

Certain SCH/SMN books

#

and certain WHM staffs

#

thats it

slate arrow
simple shore
#

Some of both of those fall under CRP though

#

so ALC is just complete dogshit to get desynth ranks in

slate arrow
#

And the current expert dungeons don't drop weapons so good luck leveling it with dungeon loot

#

(you can't)

#

lmfao

simple shore
#

Fuck that

#

Im a "completionist" but not for tht

#

To give you an idea

#

I desynth basically everything i touch and i greed roll everything i see

#

My Goldsmith desynth isnt even maxed but its my highest at 495.01

#

My Alchemist desynth....is 117.31

slate arrow
#

And ALC has like

#

I was gonna say 30

#

but yeah that's just the loot disparity for desynth

simple shore
#

I desynthed alot of ARR primal weapons, lol

slate arrow
#

I don't think anyone leveled ALC desynth before the desynth level changes

#

Anyways that's off topic from me moving on

dire prawn
#

I have decided that Square Enix does not like my laptop

slate arrow
#

It's a windows laptop, I presume?

dire prawn
#

I've tried 5 different emails on 3 different browsers and I got the same error code every time

#

Yeah

simple shore
#

Thats nothing to do with your laptop

#

thats just their account managment being shit

slate arrow
#

Or your internet provider being shit

simple shore
#

Its a pretty common problem to hear about

slate arrow
#

could try a VPN or your phone

dire prawn
#

I'm about to see if my phone will let me do it

#

If not I'll turn on the VPN that came with my laptop and try a 6th email since the other 5 can't be used with SE for 24h

plain python
#

it costs 5,000 yellow tokens to access SB folklore nodes? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

slate arrow
#

yes

#

It's a grind we know

dire prawn
#

That would require me to have an account LUL

leaden ginkgo
#

question as someone who comes from wow:
is there anything to take in concern when choosing a data center/realm? for an example in wow the most common thing is choosing a realm dominated by the faction your character is a part of. so if your character is alliance, a realm with 60 000 alliance and 5000 horde is pretty good unless you do world pvp

slate arrow
#

Not really besides focus, but raiding is viable across all data centers

green grail
#

preferred worlds have double exp for a limited time from character creation, other than that not really

simple shore
leaden ginkgo
#

alright, thank you all very much for quick responses :))

simple shore
#

and if you want to raid pick Aether or Primal if you're in NA because reasons

leaden ginkgo
#

hahah im in europe but noted! ;)

simple shore
#

afaik EU is pretty equal

open rivet
#

might wanna avoid twintania on eu, considering 90% of my blocklist is players on that

hollow zealot
#

hello im new to this game i played the trail today and would love to begin playig it fulltime but im not sure how things work where to get stuff on square enix and what server to pick i wanted to pick te most crowded one like main one

#

could someone maybe guide me?

slate arrow
#

Do you want to continue with your current character or not?

dawn briar
#

Not a question about the game directly, but I have a problem with my 165Hz screen : I cannot cap it at 80 fps, and I have this :

#

(I have 120FPS+ when I take "without limit" BUT my GPU fire up)

slate arrow
#

@dawn briar check your monitor display settings. You might not have activated the 165hz setting in windows.

dawn briar
#

It's not a problem with monitor, but with FFXIV, because I have 120fps+ on FFXIV with the "unlimited" mode

hollow zealot
#

no the current one was on a test email i have imma set everything up on my main email

#

sorry late replay was talking to house mate

slate arrow
#

Okay, so with your new account, do you want to buy on steam or Standalone?

hollow zealot
#

square enix

slate arrow
#

@dawn briar mmmmm sounds like a windows issue still. Windows doesn't know until you manually set it.

hollow zealot
#

is that stand alone

#

no idea

#

lol

slate arrow
#

@hollow zealot yes

hollow zealot
#

oki XD

slate arrow
#

Where do you live?

#

There's 3 regions you can buy an FFXIV key for.

slate arrow
#

Your SE account region is permanent so this is something to keep in mind

hollow zealot
#

se?

slate arrow
#

Square Enix Account.

#

The account you use to log into ffxiv

#

It's impossible to change the region once it's set up.

hollow zealot
#

oh sheit

#

okey good to know thanks

dawn briar
slate arrow
#

@dawn briar I don't know enough to help

dawn briar
#

No worry ^^

hollow zealot
#

oh you have problems turning on colours?

slate arrow
#

Just show your windows display settings and I'll be able to help more

#

@hollow zealot no, they're asking for frame rate stuff

hollow zealot
#

oooh

dawn briar
slate arrow
#

That's not the windows display settings

#

Go to windows settings and go to displays

dawn briar
#

AHH

#

this

slate arrow
#

Okay, now go back to FFXIV and restart the game

lament citrus
#

Is it just rng or using gnb doesnt drop fate item in anima quest

hollow zealot
#

slate arrow
#

@lament citrus RNG is RNG

lament citrus
#

Did they reduce drop rate

slate arrow
#

nope

dawn briar
slate arrow
#

They're asking for anima

green grail

lament citrus

Hsw?

Hi guys, quick question. I'm playing the game through Steam (currently on Free Trial) and I'm planning to purchasing the full game later. My SE ID country is set to Japan right now, but my Steam account in brazillian. What I wanna know is: will the subscription fee through Steam be charged based on the brazilian currency?

slate arrow
#

Just keep at it. It'll drop sooner or later.

dawn briar
slender warren
#

heya all ๐Ÿ™‚ hope you are doing well today! does anyone here main a Dancer? I tried it out yesterday and i really enjoyed playing it!

lament citrus
#

@quiet garden yes

slate arrow
#

@quiet garden you can't buy the game because you need a JP steam code and Mogstation will likely throw a hissy fit

#

At least, that's I think will happen.

simple shore
#

Brazil Steam Account, Japan SE Account, NA Datacenter Role. the hell did you do? lol

slate arrow
#

Cross region stuff is never fun x)

#

You could call SE store support and ask for their answer

#

but I'm afraid this is beyond the scope of help I can offer

#

(have heard similar things happen with a EU PSN and NA SE account)

lament citrus
#

@quiet garden there might be issue for jp SE account part (not sure) but if u buy ffxiv thro steam it will count sub as ur currency (main reason i wont with steam version in first place)

#

Sorry wrong tag

#

@slender warren not main dancer but can help explaining if u want

quiet garden
#

@lament citrus is your SE account set in a different country than the one on steam?

lament citrus
#

No

hollow zealot
#

okey sorry im back here after many attempts of creating a account

#

so im gonna pick SE which i thing is Square enix

#

since ive already gotten tips from a person earlier

#

and i find it the easiest

slate arrow
#

What region is your SE account set to

hollow zealot
#

canada

slate arrow
#

You'll want to buy from the NA SE store then

hollow zealot
#

si

slate arrow
#

Or, you can buy on Humble Bundle.

#

Since they also offer NA codes

hollow zealot
#

o3o

#

but now if we thing in game wise

#

what server is the best one

#

NA ones

#

also how do i buy the latest expansion cause i heard if you buy the latest one you get all the ones before it for free

slate arrow
#

You'll want the Complete Edition

#

Otherwise, it's starter + Shadowbringers

hollow zealot
#

so complete has everything im guessing

slate arrow
#

It's subjective but but you can't go wrong too wrong with any of the NA data centers. I'd recommend either the servers you're friends are on or a preferred server.

#

Yes

hollow zealot
#

does it offer anything else

slate arrow
#

nope

hollow zealot
#

ok

slate arrow
#

It's literally the same as starter + Shadowbringers

rustic hinge
#

hi everyone, im free account, need help in Striking Tree + Thornmarch Extreme, can someone queue pls

hollow zealot
#

and well i got no friends on the thing yet

#

hahaha

simple shore
proud willow
#

People don't queue for Extreme fights, they're not in roulettes either (other than Mentor Roulette)

slate arrow
#

@rustic hinge nobody queues for extremes in duty finder. Use your local party finder for that

proud willow
#

they're generally very hard and not something that you can beat without a guide and preparation. People will help you do it unsynced though if you make a Party Finder entry

rustic hinge
#

im free account can make parties, and need those for quests ๐Ÿ˜’

slate arrow
#

You can just do them later then.

#

Or use novice chat

hollow zealot
slate arrow
#

Enter a registration code

hollow zealot
#

this is the main account

#

what registration code?

slate arrow
#

Assuming you bought the game off humble bundle

hollow zealot
#

oh i havent

rustic hinge
hollow zealot
#

i can check

slate arrow
#

Otherwise you can just buy it in Mogstation

hollow zealot
#

which is cheaper lol

slate arrow
#

@rustic hinge /novice "hey, can I get some help doing (instance) extreme?"

If you haven't been invited to novice network, idle in Limsa and you'll likely get a random mentor to send you an invite, hopefully.

rustic hinge
#

not working, and have no ideia how to do that

hollow zealot
#

of humble its this

slate arrow
#

Make sure it's an NA copy

#

That looks like an EU key

hollow zealot
#

yeah

#

how do i see if its a na

slate arrow
#

Likely via the price but I haven't bought off Hb

hollow zealot
#

yeah might just buy it from the page lol

slate arrow
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

rustic hinge
#

how i join a novice network?

whole wasp
#

Ask anybody in game with mentor next to their name

#

To invite you in

cold steppe
#

when lvling character on dungs should i just choose lvling roulette over and over or just choose highest dungeon available at the time?

whole wasp
#

Can try shouting in the 3 starting cities too

whole wasp
hollow zealot
#

imam do this since if i try the other one its asking me for info i cant give out lol

whole wasp
#

Lvl 50/60/70*

cold steppe
#

gochu

#

thanks~

hollow zealot
#

rip me

slate arrow
#

Just buy it on Mogstation, it's less hassle that way =w=

hollow zealot
#

the other one i cant do cause i dont have a canada adress yet

#

QWQ

#

candian

slate arrow
#

We don't recommend g2a and I'd personally steer very clear of it

whole wasp
#

I personally bought from SE store and used a bogus US address.

cold steppe
#

yeah safest way is just to buy it from SE store

hollow zealot
#

lol

#

im trying but its asking for address

#

do i just take a random one online

#

or something lol

whole wasp
#

I wrote 123 beverly hills

hollow zealot
#

until i can update it in the future lol

simple shore
#

How inconspicuous

whole wasp
#

It nevered required my address so i nvr updated either.

cold steppe
#

i like how this page you sent says 44% off

#

when base price on SE store is 35 Euro, not 55 Euro lol

hollow zealot
#

its asking this

#

due to new rules

#

o3o

cold steppe
#

i think this matters specyfically if you'll want to buy IRL merch, not the game alone, not sure if u can change it afterwards tho, but for the game itself you can type in whatever and it wont matter.

hollow zealot
#

oh ok

#

and i dont think i will

#

lol

#

if i did i would probobly buy it cheaper at a actual shop hahaha

#

oh yeah your right

cold steppe
#

you get the game code after purchase on the Email, so adess isnt needed there.

hollow zealot
#

i set the adress as fuck boi 69 it worked

#

its 60 usd lol for the complete edition

gray plume
#

how much is normal edition

cold steppe
#

if thats your first purhcase as you havent played before

hollow zealot
#

20

simple shore
#

"Normal" is less normal than you'd think

cold steppe
#

remmeber to buy complete edition

hollow zealot
#

i am

cold steppe
#

Just making sure.

copper pasture
#

can u do alexander savage unsync for anima weapon

gray plume
#

complete edition doesnt include that extra pet / mount right?

cold steppe
#

it doesnt

hollow zealot
#

it says it gives a month aswell

#

so its good

#

its like all in one

#

o3o

#

so i can speed level it o3o

#

XD

cold steppe
#

you'd need to buy collector's edition for the mount i believe

hollow zealot
#

it aint showing no collector thing

gray plume
#

oh true couldn't remember the name yes

hollow zealot
#

this is it

#

lol

cold steppe
#

collector edition is more expensive complete edition basically.

#

with bonus stuff

hollow zealot
#

like

gray plume
#

sometimes steam offers cheaper prices depending on your country have you tried checking there as well before buying it?

hollow zealot
#

i checked steam

#

its broken

#

and to much work with it

#

plusi heard its not very good

gray plume
#

normally 60 dollars makes = 430 in our currency but thankfully bought it from steam for 150

hollow zealot
#

lemme just go run for my card

#

lol

cold steppe
#

steam can be fine alternative but then they wont be able to buy game expacs outside of steam, SE shop also have discounts, latest one was not too soon ago tbh. I remember there was one during black friday, not sure if there was one during christmass

hollow zealot
#

yeah

#

thats what i heard

#

and saw

#

i saw DISCOUNTS

#

lol

#

brb

cold steppe
#

during black friday game was 50% off as i remmeber on SE shop.

gray plume
#

they did discounts at a same time with steam

#

it was %50

cold steppe
#

Ye

hollow zealot
#

welp

#

rip me

cold steppe
#

but yeah i generally wouldnt buy collectors edition unless you really want those mounts, basically.

hollow zealot
#

imam do it now

#

o3o

#

and its fine

cold steppe
#

have fun o/

hollow zealot
#

ill get mounts later on

#

o3o

gray plume
#

have fun

hollow zealot
#

thankies

#

gotta figure out full on how the heck the fighting works i tried the trail and it went okey but im guessing it goes more smooth when u level and stuff

gray plume
#

do you live in malta?

hollow zealot
#

currently yes

#

but im moving in a year

#

or like

#

8 months

#

depends on the corona

gray plume
#

I understand, missed there was trying to understand why you are buying NA copy

#

haha

hollow zealot
#

oh lol

#

ya know lower ping

#

o3o

#

jk jk

#

lmao it dont accept my card

#

I KNOW I AINT BROKE

cold steppe
#

which type of chat is one on the orange?

warped nest
#

By default

#

Alliance

cold steppe
#

ic

#

it seems the S rank hunts arent that good if you dont have aparty huh? mooglethink

whole wasp
#

Yea. Party members share contribution

#

Being in a party helps x8 your contribition to get gold medal

warped nest
#

Can a lvl 80 player solo some S rank?

#

Like lvl 50 or 60?

whole wasp
#

You can try solo as a tank and spam provoke to get contribution but nobody will ress you.

#

Possible

#

50 mobs are annoying

#

I got chainstunned by a 50 mob and couldnt die

gray plume
#

since you can buy the game with Crysta points with using PayPal, how many crysta do you need?

whole wasp
#

No idea. Have to check the mogstation. I only bought subs using crysta. Not the game

gray plume
#

100 crysta means 1$ okay

warped nest
#

1 point matches 1 unit of your currency

its MSQ which means its in roulettes, you'll get a group eventually

loud ether
simple shore
#

I mean, its also the most dead time of day for NA servers

#

like ~4AM-8AM EST is just going to be very slow in general

Oh fuck I forget to keep track of time lol.

#

weh? you cant start pixie quests as one class and end as other? :c

gloomy mortar
#

No

whole wasp
#

Nope

cold steppe
#

shame, it works for ARR, so i thought the reward would just scale down exp wise.

whole wasp
#

You can switch to kill the mobs. But not pick it up

gloomy mortar
#

You can start it as one class, switch classes to do the mission, then when you get the rewards, you switch to original class though

leaden ginkgo
#

Can anyone explain me the waymarks?

#

I understand a b c for alliance raids

#

But d, 1-4

#

No clue

wintry chasm
#

They don't really mean anything

#

they are just there for the sake of having something to refer to

#

"Go to D"

leaden ginkgo
#

I got castrum marinum as daily and it was my first time there was tons of waymarks but I had no clue what I was doing tbh

#

Oh, i thought maybe they were telling where to go at specific time in boss fight or something

#

Like where to stand during certain attacks

wintry chasm
#

Well...yes

simple shore
#

I mean, they kind of do, but

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk however which qaymark is for what attack xd

simple shore
#

Who the hell puts up waymarks for normal

wintry chasm
#

That's up to the party

simple shore
#

what would they even point at

wintry chasm
#

^

#

If this was normal difficulty idk why they even bothered

#

but it's very very important for things like Extreme

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk I never really see d1-4 cause I dont do ex or savage yet, i obly seen abc in alliances

wintry chasm
#

And you'd usually have macros and common strats that would tell you where to stand for whatever attacks in relation to waymarkers

open coral
#

Unless someone specifically explains the waymarks, and the party agrees to use them in Normal, they can be safely ignored.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, alright then thabk you xd

open coral
#

Just follow the game's built-in telegraphs and you'll be more or less fine.

faint flare
#

If anything waymarks are more orientation or assigned spot for a mechanic

leaden ginkgo
#

I know they are mainly used for ex but someone used it on nornal trial it wqs bit cobfuaing especially when I never done new castrum marinum trial

open coral
#

Yeah. Like I said, unless someone specifically explains the waymarks and everyone agrees to use them that way, they can be ignored on Normal

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You need their respective crafter

#

For desynth

simple shore
#

That's mostly accurate. Though its based on the repair class, not type

#

i.e. some weapons are BSM, but some are CRP or ARM or GSM too

#

That's your second best option, yes

whole wasp
#

Sure.

marble drift
#

some leatherworker thrown in too usually

leaden ginkgo
#

when does the sprout go away? I'm near 300 hours post sb I think

faint flare
#

Once you fully complete stormblood

#

And get to Shadowbringers

leaden ginkgo
#

o

faint flare
#

A requim of heroes is the last quest

leaden ginkgo
#

?

#

I already did that though

simple shore
#

Its quest progress AND time played, iirc

#

Have to hit both thresholds

leaden ginkgo
#

what specifically though

simple shore
#

someone was telling me of seeing a sprout in EmEx a couple days ago which made me laugh

leaden ginkgo
#

oh nvm its been replaced a circle with a rate thing inside

#

thats yellow??

fresh lodge
#

Thats the generic online symbol

#

Your sprout status will come back when you log in next

leaden ginkgo
#

aw

fresh lodge
#

If you're already in ShB MSQ though, it should already be gone

#

Its 168 hours of playtime + completing the quest A Requiem of Heroes

leaden ginkgo
#

o i avoided doing that cause I heard ppl get irritated when sprouts turn it off manuallu

fresh lodge
#

There is very little reason to turn it off

simple shore
#

You're honestly only hurting yourself if you're actually new and you turn it off

#

Its a bad idea

fresh lodge
#

Players will let things slide that they normally wouldn't because you're new

leaden ginkgo
#

icic

fresh lodge
#

So keep it on

simple shore
#

Like, if i see a sprout just.....pressing random buttons and being generally useless in a dungeon, im not gonna say anything.

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah thats fair

#

just curious because, like I said before, I played for nearly 300 hours and finished that sb quest

#

but anyways ty for clarifying!!

fresh lodge
#

So you're in Shadowbringers MSQ?

leaden ginkgo
#

pretty sure

simple shore
#

Easy enough way to tell

#

Whats your current MSQ name

fresh lodge
#

Have you visited the Crystarium yet?

simple shore
#

Also, in case you're unaware, you can check your actual playtime with /playtime

whole wasp
#

It looks like this sprout or a flower?

simple shore
#

Its a cursed command that you should be wary of entering as a veteran

Yes.

Your server isn't determined by your account location.

ive been struggling for a hour now

thank you blessed people

#

q.q

worthy rain
#

Buying ffixv to support se, but to play in ps4 and ps5, can it be then bought in the se store?

open coral
#

Huh?

worthy rain
#

Squareenix store

#

To play in ps4 and ps5

green grail
#

if SE store has a ps4 version then sure

open coral
#

Yeah, no, I got that bit, but... what are you asking.

green grail
#

but SE gets money from PS store sales.. anyways? so it doesn't really matter

open coral
#

^

worthy rain
#

Like, to suportt se, rather than in ps4 store

open coral
#

SE gets their cut no matter which way you buy it.

green grail
#

plus you pay subscription through mogstation without any PS services inbetween

worthy rain
#

Ok, thanks for comenting (y)

inland zenith
#

Is there a place in the menus where I can see how many leve allowances I have?

green grail

at the bottom of your quest journal

#

when i buying character boost, how long it will take to be delivered to me ?

inland zenith
#

I would never check there.

#

thanks!

#

There is no physical edition for complete? I mean, only the cod to register, no disc, right?

open coral
quasi thistle
#

ah.... so that's why... the queue is on 3 digit, and i need to wait around 10 minutes to get in NotLikeDuck

#

Is there a way I can quickly check whether my positionals hit or missed without having to open ACT with Kagami?

open coral
#

No

gloomy mortar
#

No

hollow zealot
open coral
#

That's effectively combat metadata, so you need ACT to see it.

green grail
#

on sam you'd get less gauge, on mnk your bootshine would have a chance to not-crit, but otherwise not really

hollow zealot
#

now im getting this

#

even go i verfied it

open coral
#

Have you purchased subscription time?

hollow zealot
#

im playing it on steam

open coral
#

Have you linked the game to your SE account?

#

You still need sub time.

hollow zealot
#

i just brought the complete edition

#

so i would have 30 days

open coral
#

Okay, did you link it to your SE account?

hollow zealot
#

idk how to

hot eagle
#

need to add the cd keys from your steam library to your mogstation account

worthy rain
#

Thing is, ffxiv is cross save right? It links to se account

hollow zealot
#

OOOOOOOOOH

#

oke oke

#

i will

#

cause i got keys

#

indeed

#

just didnt know where the f to put em

open coral
#

There's a specific button for Steam users on the mogstation account management screen to put in their CD codes.

hollow zealot
#

ill check it thank you

#

i gotta make a new acc

#

i cry

#

lol

#

i put wrong country on this acc

worthy rain
#

Do you think, when new expansion comes, the free trial will even be till Sblood?

hollow zealot
#

lol

worthy rain
#

Like when FR came, free trial was improved a lot

faint flare
#

The trial was recently updated after years

worthy rain
#

What an upgrade

hot eagle
#

trial was only till lvl35 a while ago so don't think they will add more shortly

worthy rain
#

I also read something of grinding 9 minutes was eliminated, and now is so quickly

#

Something of ARR?

#

What an upgrade it had

#

Can complete without time limit till HW is great

open coral
#

The MSQ (main scenario quests msq) for ARR and what we call "post-ARR" (the 2.1-2.55 patch content) were trimmed down by something like 17% relatively recently to make it somewhat less of a grind.

leaden ginkgo
#

So Iโ€™ve been playing for two months now so I donโ€™t really know how collab events work, how often do we get those ?

#

And do they come back? Is the FFXV one gonna come back for example ?

simple shore
#

Nobody knows

wintry chasm
#

Well we kinda do

#

They said they wanted the run the FFXV one back soon

#

when they had time

open coral
#

Collab events don't have any particular timeframe to them. They happen relatively infrequently (since they usually require a great deal of work on the parts of both the XIV team and whoever they're collaborating with). They also happen in two different types: temporary content (such as the FFXV and Yokai Watch events) and permanent content (such as the MHW and NieR content).

wintry chasm
#

So I'd expect it in the next few months

#

Mostly what Aura says though

simple shore
#

In fairness, didnt they say that about FFXV like......6 months ago?

gloomy mortar
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

Yes but we have had a fuck ton of events constantly throughout those 6 months

simple shore
#

Just pointing it out is all

open coral
#

Until last year, most of the temporary events were never expected to re-run.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh

#

What was the first temporary event to be repeated.

twilit arch
#

ehhh

leaden ginkgo
#

?

twilit arch
#

i would not say that at all

#

because we have had several collab events rerun before, so i would say yes it was expected for re-runs\

hollow zealot
#

whats best

twilit arch
#

ff13, DQ, ff11 events have all rerun

faint flare

!faq subprice

Subscription Prices
faint flare

Entry is fine

hollow zealot
#

oooo

faint flare
#

1 character per world, 8 max

gloomy mortar
#

Entry

leaden ginkgo
#

180 days

faint flare
#

Standard only gives you more character slots

hollow zealot
#

but it would be better fror me

worthy rain
#

So, there are 8 worlds? Where?

hollow zealot
#

to have control when i pay

#

since i work alot

#

and might forget and stuff

faint flare
#

There's alot more than 8 world

twilit arch
#

entry is probably best

warped nest
#

8 characters max in 1 world

worthy rain
twilit arch
#

if you're not sure you can/will be playing for extend months then paying month by month is better

180 or get out

i heard something about having a lot of characters is good

along side ur mine

like u can use em somehow

main

twilit arch
#

NA has 24 worlds

#

EU has 12

#

JP has 32

worthy rain
#

But, how worlds join with expansions?

green grail
#

you can play all classes/jobs on one character so there's not much reason to have 2 or more characters

twilit arch
#

what do you mean?

hollow zealot
#

or something

#

i forgot where i read it

wintry chasm
#

That's really not necessary though to be fair Galoyo, also a ballache tbh

hollow zealot
#

hahahaha

#

ball ache

#

lol

worthy rain
# twilit arch what do you mean?

I mean, this is long, in entry why:

8 max, why, if there are more than 8 worlds, to have only a max of 8

Then, how worlds relate to expansions, does not an expantion change everything?

green grail
#

worlds are servers

hollow zealot
#

so its one per world

green grail
#

you have the same content on all worlds

twilit arch
#

ye

wintry chasm
#

An expansion does change a lot about the game but yeah all the servers just get updated with it

open coral
#

Expansions are gameplay content.

wintry chasm
#

^

hollow zealot
#

oh yeah

#

you would only stick to one world

#

once u have picked it

#

true true

#

im one who sticks to one world

#

and grind the heck out of it

twilit arch
#

i mean even on standard, there's a limit to how many characters you can have total

hollow zealot
#

XD

twilit arch
#

because of server space, i assume

hollow zealot
#

yeah

wintry chasm
#

Probably

ocean herald
#

what items worth buying with ishgard script?

gloomy mortar
#

Emotes

worthy rain
#

World is not a good name hahaha, better server, right?

open coral
#

Standard is up to 8 characters per server, max 40 characters. Do this only if you're an altoholic.

hollow zealot
#

An entry level subscription cannot be purchased until your standard level subscription expires

#

i gotta wait

open coral
#

"world" and "server" are used interchangably.

hollow zealot
#

but yeah

open coral
#

"world" is just the lore-friendly way of referring to them.

hollow zealot
#

guess i just play it and shut up

#

o3o

surreal rapids
#

has it been confirmed or denied if 5.4 is the last patch in the expansion?

open coral
#

X.4 is never the last patch

wintry chasm
#

^

worthy rain
#

When you start SHB after SB for example, it remains the map the same?

No new cities or an entire map?

I dont think is only gameplay content

wintry chasm
#

You get new areas but the old areas don't change

open coral
#

There will be one more major patch 5.5, and probably a "half" patch 5.55 about 3 months before the new expansion

green grail
#

5.5 with new msq, dungeon and nier raid, 5.51 with new ultimate (probably) and some more miscellaneous content

hollow zealot
#

now the real question is what worlds on NA are best hmmmmm

wintry chasm
#

A preferred one if you're starting out tbh

faint flare
#

!faq worldpick

surreal rapids
#

ah, i see

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
faint flare
#

See here

open coral
#

"best" is relative

hollow zealot
#

okey in the long run

#

i aint gonna be switching hahaha

faint flare
#

None are best

surreal rapids
#

thank you for the info

faint flare
#

None are worst

#

All good

simple shore
#

questionable

hollow zealot
#

lmao

hollow zealot
open coral
#

But basically, pick a world that you have friends on, that is currently "preferred status", that has the lowest ping for you, or that you just like the name of.

surreal rapids
#

odin would surely disagree

hollow zealot
#

lmao

faint flare
#

No

#

Odin is fine

leaden ginkgo
hollow zealot
#

so my bf wants to get it to other then that i dont have any friends on the game

surreal rapids
#

i meant that odin would say all the other servers are the worst

worthy rain
#

I mean, "server" better than "world", cause what changes is the players

faint flare
#

I haven't see that

worthy rain
#

Not more

faint flare

Source: i live on odin

hollow zealot

so its pretty much we pick one together

# hollow zealot wym

If you don't have friends playing, pick a preferred server or one with low ping for you, or one you just like the name of.

faint flare
hollow zealot
#

ooooh

#

oki

#

thanks alot

surreal rapids
#

i guess it changed with the surge in popularity evening out the populations a bit, i remember odin being the: "You dont know this mechanic?! /kick" server

simple shore
#

tbh thats less of an issue because everything is datacenter wide

#

the only discerning factor in servers is....."non-content" related.

#

and there's a very short list i'd advise avoiding, but beyond that, doesnt really matter.

wintry chasm
#

^

whole wasp
#

Most distinctive about odin is mostly it has the highest pop and they like namazus.

wintry chasm
#

The only real difference between servers now is just like

#

A) preferred status and xp buffs

#

B) language

#

C) basically just Balmung and Mateus being really RP

#

That's it

simple shore
#

I'd extend that to

#

D) Don't play on Mateus. Seriously. You'll thank me later.

whole wasp
#

Ohyea language. Moogle has lots of french. And another server has lots of germans but i forgot which

wintry chasm
#

Shiva

gloomy mortar
#

Iโ€™m on Mateus

worthy rain
#

As a new spanish player, I would pick a preferred one, for the xp buff, never mind if there are spanish or no

#

I mean, new players may want xp buff

#

Maybe later no, but as a new one, it is wise an xp buff

patent citrus
#

isn't Mateus NA?

simple shore

Yes it is

wintry chasm
#

XP buff so fucking good

gloomy mortar

Yes it is

simple shore

As far as the preferred buff goes

patent citrus

You need both character level and MSQ level to progress.

no, that was for caelum

hollow zealot

# worthy rain Genshin impact style

Yes, but also no. In Genshin you don't need a specific character level to progress. AR is the only level that matters. In XIV both the character level and the story level matter.

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

wintry chasm
#

Basically it's bonus XP when leveling alt classes

worthy rain
wintry chasm
#

To be fair DoH and DoL level up in a second anyway

worthy rain
simple shore
#

lmao

#

DoL on preferred server level faster than they can finish quest objectives

#

its rather silly

worthy rain
#

I would say, some leveling is required for high MSQ quests

patent citrus
#

oo you just aiming for dysynthesis stuffs? hehe

#

yeah, the more content you unlock the more method you can use for leveling ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

atm, you might not have all your tools to level fast

for the combat jobs

should note that crafting/gathering is entirely optional

An advice I read about the jobs:

Dark Knight has the best story jobs quests (or what they are called)
(Of course, no spoilers)

oh really

like i like crafting and stuff

then you're more than free to pick up the crafters and gatherers

Im thinking about changing my job from blkm for red mage or maybe continue till 60 the limit of the trial what you guys recommended?

twilit arch

though its also strongly recommended to do them when you're max lvl and have msq completed as its easier to level them, as its also recommended to level them all

hollow zealot
#

sure i can do that

#

XD

little swift
twilit arch
#

since it'll save on inventory space as they share gear (barring their main and off hands), and most of them will need materials from others

worthy rain
#

What is the best job to start?

scarlet arrow
#

any of them

patent citrus
#

the one you like ๐Ÿ˜‚

so like a weaver will need ingots and leather from blacksmith/armorer and leatherworker

If you're super new to the MMO genre, i would maybe suggest not playing Arcanist(Summoner/Scholar) first.

how many times does an ultimate need to be cleared to receive weapon?

twilit arch
#

no, gear doesn't get used when you glamour with it @quasi thistle

ACN was my first class in XIV...

#

@waxen pivot you get one totem per clear, with the weapon costing 1 totem

#

whats that

#

lol

#

like a cloth above ur gear

#

?

open coral
faint flare
#

Its transmog

twilit arch
#

basically making your gear look like another piece of gear

waxen pivot
#

@twilit arch oh wow didnt realize it was just one clear lol

faint flare
#

Basically

leaden ginkgo
#

arcanist also is slower on the lower levels because of dot damage

twilit arch
#

i mean ultimates are extremely hard

open coral
twilit arch
#

so getting that clear isn't going to be easy

open coral
#

Also doesn't make a difference to the speed with which you get through the MSQ.

waxen pivot
#

@twilit arch Are ultimates synced ilvl wise or can you go in with a higher ilvl?

twilit arch
#

they are ilvl sync'd

faint flare
#

Level and item level

twilit arch
#

and are not able to be unsync at all

simple shore
#

Ultimates are pretty much the same difficulty forever

faint flare
#

And can never be unsynced

twilit arch
#

to preserve their difficulty

faint flare
#

Only job changes and additions would change its difficulty

worthy rain
#

Salutes thanks for commenting (y)

faint flare
#

But thats only on the dps front

little swift
#

Older ones have had their dps checks diminished because of stat scaling and gear sync

#

But they're still mechanically challenging

gritty oracle
#

Does gaining xp in bozja deplete rested xp as usual?

quasi thistle
#

i think, many boss gotten easier, maybe it's just me... or now Ultima Weapon didn't do Ultima DPS check at near the end ?

leaden ginkgo
#

red mage are said to be the easiest job to pick up and play is that true?

open coral
#

Yes. Many of the older bosses have been hit by power creep.

#

RDM is pretty easy, yes.

leaden ginkgo
#

How many days does it typically take to raise a tribe's rank to max?

little swift
#

Red mage has an easier learning curve

dense hound
#

If you're talking MSQ Ultima, then yeah, he gets nae nae'd real easy by skills and gear now

open coral
#

I think DNC is probably easier than RDM.

little swift
quasi thistle
#

back then, near death, maybe around 5% hp ? , ult weapon will cast Ultima, if the DPS check fail = Wipe

simple shore
#

A testament to the amount of stat bloat that happened betwen 2.0 and 2.55

flint temple
#

Why can't i open new game + thing ?

green grail
#

did you unlock it? it's behind a bluequest

faint flare
#

Unlocks in vesper bay at Totally not xehanort

flint temple
#

Well thanks but thats weird that the game doesnt tell about this

#

like how am i supposed to know

wintry chasm
#

You can say that about a lot of things

flint temple
#

very strange

wintry chasm
#

"Wow this game didn't tell me I can do this raid now"

#

Or "wow the game never told me about the challenge log"

green grail

Is there risk of spoilers of commmunity events, like FFXV or Nier ones?

twilit arch
#

FFXV no, Nier you can't even do until you're lvl 80 and have completed the main scenario quest for shadowbringers

#

so not like that can really spoil anything but ultimately no, doesn't spoil anything

agile laurel
#

Nier even kinda stands alone from Automata and XIV storylines honestly

#

beside the location setting in XIV which you may count as a spoiler

wintry chasm
#

Nier is definitely a weird one

agile laurel
#

and most of the nods to Automata are there for people with a sharp eye

#

mind you, the Nier crossover isn't narratively complete yet so there could be some story-based tie in still

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it still okay to level up classes to 80 in hoh?

agile laurel
#

it'll be hellishly slow

#

xp stops scaling after 70

wintry chasm
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

Uuf

twilit arch
#

71-80 should be either doing trust dungeons or bozja

#

can also throw in daily pixie tribe dailies and hunt bills if you want

agile laurel
#

but speaking as someone who played Nier crossover before Automata, and thought I spoiled Automata for myself

#

i really didn't, not at all

simple shore
#

Its not really possible to spoil something that doesnt make sense to begin with.

humble quartz
#

is there any ingame channels for non-novices that a lot of people talk in? Do you guys know?

#

Like the novice network

worthy rain
#

Ok, I did not say it properly

I did not mean spoilers for FFXIV, but of FFXV or NieR, or whatever more

But yes, of xiv also thanks for the info

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm real nier and ffxiv nier story are totally unrelated

#

Im pretty sure

worthy rain
#

The most wise is not do the events

open coral
#

They're not.

leaden ginkgo
#

This is comoletely mqde up story for ffxiv raids

#

Made up*

open coral
leaden ginkgo
#

Really?

simple shore
#

Well, hold on

open coral
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm

#

I dont remember nier automata endings tbh xd

#

Veen a while

simple shore
#

there is some stuff that i think could be considered....."spoilery"

#

but its avoidable

#

Just dont collect the archive entry items until later

green plover
#
