are low blow/interject even usefull on later bosses? or are they preety much dead buttons/only for dungeon waves at best?
So definitely stick to my Archer/Bard then during the free trial to 60
Interject is sometimes useful in raids still
Usually on an add during the fight
Low Blow is pretty useless outside of there
yeah i meant specyfically bosses since like 99% of bosses outright are immune to both
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
so they're basically keeping add's in check kind of abilities, for the most part at least
Yeah. Its encounter specific of course.
gochu
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
I has the same question as SmugAnimeGirl
when i was leveling i tried to stretch my gear out as far as i could lol
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
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
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.
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.
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
POTD ๐ค
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.
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
palace of the dead is a "deep dungeon"
Oh I see
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.
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"
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 ๐ค
SE support here I come
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.
how do i continue my quest if i cant examine the spot
What does your quest specifically say to do
Basically screencap the questlog - you cropped that part off
stand lookout
ah ok ty
๐
so this 8th Feb is the next expansion announcement right? ๐ค
i just saw the banner on my launcher
We dont know for sure
idk. could be. thats what people are speculating.
but it could also be "here's 5.5 and a new store glamour"
I see, ty ty ^.^ so it's just speculation
or any number of other things

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?
Buy allegory mats and sell them
is there something like a bank in this game?
You can also sometimes sell in bulk by just putting up a PF and saying "Selling 2k Allegory"
People will jump on that pretty quick often
These are probably your best bet on the highest selling items
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
Retainers are your bank for the game. You get 2 for free and each one holds 175 slots of items.
arigato @wintry chasm @obsidian patio
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.
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
Desynth works on anything
you dont need spiritbond
and you dont need rating anymore like yo uused to
spiritbond is for materia
yeah spiritbond at 100% for materia
generally yes
A majority of gear can be desynthed
Almost any equippable item is desynthable outside of current-tier trial/raid drops
Thereโs 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
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
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
Yeah just desynth everything you acquire naturally that you dont need
but dont go out of your way to level it
Especially since desynth gain has reduced returns and no returns on stuff too far below
and you'll eventually cap out everything except for alchemist because fuck alchemist desynth
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.
Basically, if you desynth a i510 crafted chestpiece, you'll get ~5-10 points to desynth levels
Thats a thing of the past
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
And again - certain desynth skills are just utter shit. Specifically Alchemist.
o rip

Some of both of those fall under CRP though
so ALC is just complete dogshit to get desynth ranks in
And the current expert dungeons don't drop weapons so good luck leveling it with dungeon loot
(you can't)
lmfao
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
And ALC has like
I was gonna say 30
but yeah that's just the loot disparity for desynth
I desynthed alot of ARR primal weapons, lol
I don't think anyone leveled ALC desynth before the desynth level changes
Anyways that's off topic from me moving on
I have decided that Square Enix does not like my laptop
It's a windows laptop, I presume?
I've tried 5 different emails on 3 different browsers and I got the same error code every time
Yeah
Or your internet provider being shit
Its a pretty common problem to hear about
could try a VPN or your phone
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
it costs 5,000 yellow tokens to access SB folklore nodes? ๐ฎ
That would require me to have an account 
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
Not really besides focus, but raiding is viable across all data centers
preferred worlds have double exp for a limited time from character creation, other than that not really
Realistically, just pick the "correct" data center for you and thats about all that you need to worry about potentially getting wrong.
alright, thank you all very much for quick responses :))
and if you want to raid pick Aether or Primal if you're in NA because reasons
hahah im in europe but noted! ;)
afaik EU is pretty equal
might wanna avoid twintania on eu, considering 90% of my blocklist is players on that
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?
Do you want to continue with your current character or not?
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)
@dawn briar check your monitor display settings. You might not have activated the 165hz setting in windows.
It's not a problem with monitor, but with FFXIV, because I have 120fps+ on FFXIV with the "unlimited" mode
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
Okay, so with your new account, do you want to buy on steam or Standalone?
square enix
@dawn briar mmmmm sounds like a windows issue still. Windows doesn't know until you manually set it.
@hollow zealot yes
oki XD

im europe but imma move to canada within the year or start of next year so i wanna pick a american server
Your SE account region is permanent so this is something to keep in mind
se?
Square Enix Account.
The account you use to log into ffxiv
It's impossible to change the region once it's set up.
I don't thinks so, when I first start the game, option for FPS was here, but after some chargement, it's gone :<
@dawn briar I don't know enough to help
No worry ^^
oh you have problems turning on colours?
Just show your windows display settings and I'll be able to help more
@hollow zealot no, they're asking for frame rate stuff
oooh
Okay, now go back to FFXIV and restart the game
Is it just rng or using gnb doesnt drop fate item in anima quest
lemme make a account on sqaure with one of my main emails
@lament citrus RNG is RNG
Did they reduce drop rate
nope
If you want a 100% drop rate, go in HSW Fate
They're asking for anima
different relic
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?
Just keep at it. It'll drop sooner or later.
Ah yup x)
heya all ๐ hope you are doing well today! does anyone here main a Dancer? I tried it out yesterday and i really enjoyed playing it!
@quiet garden yes
@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.
Brazil Steam Account, Japan SE Account, NA Datacenter Role. the hell did you do? lol
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)
@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
@lament citrus is your SE account set in a different country than the one on steam?
No
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
What region is your SE account set to
canada
You'll want to buy from the NA SE store then
si
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
so complete has everything im guessing
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
does it offer anything else
nope
ok
It's literally the same as starter + Shadowbringers
hi everyone, im free account, need help in Striking Tree + Thornmarch Extreme, can someone queue pls
This isnt where you ask for that.
People don't queue for Extreme fights, they're not in roulettes either (other than Mentor Roulette)
@rustic hinge nobody queues for extremes in duty finder. Use your local party finder for that
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
im free account can make parties, and need those for quests ๐
so how do i do this
Enter a registration code
Assuming you bought the game off humble bundle
oh i havent
how?
i can check
Otherwise you can just buy it in Mogstation
which is cheaper lol
@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.
not working, and have no ideia how to do that
Likely via the price but I haven't bought off Hb
yeah might just buy it from the page lol
๐
how i join a novice network?
when lvling character on dungs should i just choose lvling roulette over and over or just choose highest dungeon available at the time?
Can try shouting in the 3 starting cities too
Roulette once daily for the bonus then highest dungeon but not 50/60/70 dungeons
imam do this since if i try the other one its asking me for info i cant give out lol
Lvl 50/60/70*
Just buy it on Mogstation, it's less hassle that way =w=
We don't recommend g2a and I'd personally steer very clear of it
I personally bought from SE store and used a bogus US address.
yeah safest way is just to buy it from SE store
lol
im trying but its asking for address
do i just take a random one online
or something lol
I wrote 123 beverly hills
until i can update it in the future lol
How inconspicuous
It nevered required my address so i nvr updated either.
i like how this page you sent says 44% off
when base price on SE store is 35 Euro, not 55 Euro lol
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.
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
you get the game code after purchase on the Email, so adess isnt needed there.
how much is normal edition
if thats your first purhcase as you havent played before
20
"Normal" is less normal than you'd think
remmeber to buy complete edition
i am
Just making sure.
can u do alexander savage unsync for anima weapon
complete edition doesnt include that extra pet / mount right?
it doesnt
it says it gives a month aswell
so its good
its like all in one
o3o
so i can speed level it o3o
XD
you'd need to buy collector's edition for the mount i believe
it aint showing no collector thing
oh true couldn't remember the name yes
like
sometimes steam offers cheaper prices depending on your country have you tried checking there as well before buying it?
i checked steam
its broken
and to much work with it
plusi heard its not very good
normally 60 dollars makes = 430 in our currency but thankfully bought it from steam for 150
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
during black friday game was 50% off as i remmeber on SE shop.
Ye
but yeah i generally wouldnt buy collectors edition unless you really want those mounts, basically.
have fun o/
have fun
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
do you live in malta?
currently yes
but im moving in a year
or like
8 months
depends on the corona
oh lol
ya know lower ping
o3o
jk jk
lmao it dont accept my card
I KNOW I AINT BROKE
which type of chat is one on the orange?
Yea. Party members share contribution
Being in a party helps x8 your contribition to get gold medal
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
since you can buy the game with Crysta points with using PayPal, how many crysta do you need?
No idea. Have to check the mogstation. I only bought subs using crysta. Not the game
100 crysta means 1$ okay
1 point matches 1 unit of your currency

Anyone here in need of a referral code for the goodies? need to refer one more person for the mount!
Not a channel for asking for that.
Theres not really a channel to ask that, but i think it falls in this category
No it doesnt.
aight ma bad
I know about that already but ty!
can also try the official forum they had a thread for it iirc dont know other places as these
I need to find people for Akh Afah Amphitheatre(Hard) MSQ in Behemoth server. Where should I post?
Realistically, you should post it in PF in-game
or just queue
its MSQ which means its in roulettes, you'll get a group eventually
Well I am in quewe for 30 mins now so fingers crossed.
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
No
Nope
shame, it works for ARR, so i thought the reward would just scale down exp wise.
You can switch to kill the mobs. But not pick it up
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
Can anyone explain me the waymarks?
I understand a b c for alliance raids
But d, 1-4
No clue
They don't really mean anything
they are just there for the sake of having something to refer to
"Go to D"
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
Well...yes
I mean, they kind of do, but
Idk however which qaymark is for what attack xd
Who the hell puts up waymarks for normal
That's up to the party
what would they even point at
^
If this was normal difficulty idk why they even bothered
but it's very very important for things like Extreme
Idk I never really see d1-4 cause I dont do ex or savage yet, i obly seen abc in alliances
And you'd usually have macros and common strats that would tell you where to stand for whatever attacks in relation to waymarkers
Unless someone specifically explains the waymarks, and the party agrees to use them in Normal, they can be safely ignored.
Oh, alright then thabk you xd
Just follow the game's built-in telegraphs and you'll be more or less fine.
If anything waymarks are more orientation or assigned spot for a mechanic
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
Yeah. Like I said, unless someone specifically explains the waymarks and everyone agrees to use them that way, they can be ignored on Normal
Alright
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
Sure.
some leatherworker thrown in too usually
when does the sprout go away? I'm near 300 hours post sb I think
o
A requim of heroes is the last quest
what specifically though
someone was telling me of seeing a sprout in EmEx a couple days ago which made me laugh
Thats the generic online symbol
Your sprout status will come back when you log in next
aw
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
o i avoided doing that cause I heard ppl get irritated when sprouts turn it off manuallu
There is very little reason to turn it off
You're honestly only hurting yourself if you're actually new and you turn it off
Its a bad idea
Players will let things slide that they normally wouldn't because you're new
icic
So keep it on
Like, if i see a sprout just.....pressing random buttons and being generally useless in a dungeon, im not gonna say anything.
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!!
So you're in Shadowbringers MSQ?
pretty sure
Have you visited the Crystarium yet?
Also, in case you're unaware, you can check your actual playtime with /playtime
It looks like this
or a flower?

stuck in a cutscene where my WoLs in a field of purple
Did you meet the merchant with the big ring in the purple field
question if i buy final fantasy online on steam but my store is within EU can i still play on the NA servers
Yes.
Yes
omfg
Yes
Your server isn't determined by your account location.
Account region doesn't restrict what servers you can play on besides Korea and Chinese accounts
Buying ffixv to support se, but to play in ps4 and ps5, can it be then bought in the se store?
Huh?
if SE store has a ps4 version then sure
Yeah, no, I got that bit, but... what are you asking.
but SE gets money from PS store sales.. anyways? so it doesn't really matter
^
Like, to suportt se, rather than in ps4 store
SE gets their cut no matter which way you buy it.
plus you pay subscription through mogstation without any PS services inbetween
Ok, thanks for comenting (y)
Is there a place in the menus where I can see how many leve allowances I have?
at the bottom of your quest journal
when i buying character boost, how long it will take to be delivered to me ?
There is no physical edition for complete? I mean, only the cod to register, no disc, right?
Usually less than 30 minutes, but it depends on how busy the delivery servers are.
ah.... so that's why... the queue is on 3 digit, and i need to wait around 10 minutes to get in 
Is there a way I can quickly check whether my positionals hit or missed without having to open ACT with Kagami?
No
No
lmao hello its me again hahaha
That's effectively combat metadata, so you need ACT to see it.
on sam you'd get less gauge, on mnk your bootshine would have a chance to not-crit, but otherwise not really
Have you purchased subscription time?
im playing it on steam
Okay, did you link it to your SE account?
idk how to
need to add the cd keys from your steam library to your mogstation account
Thing is, ffxiv is cross save right? It links to se account
OOOOOOOOOH
oke oke
i will
cause i got keys
indeed
just didnt know where the f to put em
There's a specific button for Steam users on the mogstation account management screen to put in their CD codes.
ill check it thank you
i gotta make a new acc
i cry
lol
i put wrong country on this acc
Do you think, when new expansion comes, the free trial will even be till Sblood?
lol
Like when FR came, free trial was improved a lot
No
The trial was recently updated after years
What an upgrade
trial was only till lvl35 a while ago so don't think they will add more shortly
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
The MSQ (main scenario quests
) 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.
So Iโve been playing for two months now so I donโt 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 ?
Nobody knows
Well we kinda do
They said they wanted the run the FFXV one back soon
when they had time
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).
In fairness, didnt they say that about FFXV like......6 months ago?
Yes
Yes but we have had a fuck ton of events constantly throughout those 6 months
Just pointing it out is all
Until last year, most of the temporary events were never expected to re-run.
ehhh
?
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\
ff13, DQ, ff11 events have all rerun
!faq subprice
Entry is fine
oooo
1 character per world, 8 max
Entry
180 days
Standard only gives you more character slots
but it would be better fror me
So, there are 8 worlds? Where?
There's alot more than 8 world
entry is probably best
8 characters max in 1 world
Dont do the 180 sub, that is a lot
if you're not sure you can/will be playing for extend months then paying month by month is better
180 or get out

LMAO
this is not a vent/rant channel
I mean, what it means only 1 character per world, then 8 max (cause 8 worlds)
But, there are more than 8?
i heard something about having a lot of characters is good
along side ur mine
like u can use em somehow
main
But, how worlds join with expansions?
you can play all classes/jobs on one character so there's not much reason to have 2 or more characters
what do you mean?
aa true but it was somethign about inventory space
or something
i forgot where i read it
That's really not necessary though to be fair Galoyo, also a ballache tbh
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?
worlds are servers
so its one per world
you have the same content on all worlds
ye
An expansion does change a lot about the game but yeah all the servers just get updated with it
Expansions are gameplay content.
^
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
i mean even on standard, there's a limit to how many characters you can have total
XD
because of server space, i assume
yeah
Probably
what items worth buying with ishgard script?
Emotes
World is not a good name hahaha, better server, right?
Standard is up to 8 characters per server, max 40 characters. Do this only if you're an altoholic.
An entry level subscription cannot be purchased until your standard level subscription expires
i gotta wait
"world" and "server" are used interchangably.
but yeah
"world" is just the lore-friendly way of referring to them.
has it been confirmed or denied if 5.4 is the last patch in the expansion?
X.4 is never the last patch
^
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
You get new areas but the old areas don't change
There will be one more major patch 5.5, and probably a "half" patch 5.55 about 3 months before the new expansion
5.5 with new msq, dungeon and nier raid, 5.51 with new ultimate (probably) and some more miscellaneous content
now the real question is what worlds on NA are best hmmmmm
A preferred one if you're starting out tbh
!faq worldpick
ah, i see
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)
See here
"best" is relative
None are best
thank you for the info
questionable
lmao
wym
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.
odin would surely disagree
lmao
Whats the name of this hairstyle, & where do you get it?
so my bf wants to get it to other then that i dont have any friends on the game
i meant that odin would say all the other servers are the worst
I mean, "server" better than "world", cause what changes is the players
I haven't see that
Not more
Source: i live on odin
so its pretty much we pick one together
its not a hairstyle you can unlock in-game. its a racial hairstyle for miqo'te female and lalafel female @leaden ginkgo
In that case, use one of the other criteria.
Seriously would just pick a preferred server Galoyo
Yea. Odin doesnt care. I live on odin too.
wym
Ooo alright, ty
Notes to pat or smack smug
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.

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
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.
^
Most distinctive about odin is mostly it has the highest pop and they like namazus.
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
Ohyea language. Moogle has lots of french. And another server has lots of germans but i forgot which
Shiva
Iโm on Mateus
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
isn't Mateus NA?
Yes it is
XP buff so fucking good
Yes it is
As far as the preferred buff goes
ah ok, not sure why EU and NA servers being mixed in the suggestions ๐
Also not like there is an unofficial Spanish focused server
If you manage it well, you can hit 70 on all jobs (including DoH/DoL jobs) before it runs out pretty comfortably.
Because we were taking to Galoyo I guess?
Because the person who asked the original question said they're in EU but wanted to play on NA
Also most people here are NA dumbs
I will see it but when I have lots of level, just care about leveling to progress looool
ah I see ๐
Just remember that character level does not equal game progression in this game.
You must play through the
sequentially.
Character level is pretty useless, tbh
There is no difficulty?
wait can u do any jobs
yes
Yes
can be all jobs on one character
still need it to do the msq requirements ๐
like multiple
In what sense?
There is difficult content that has nothing to do with your level exactly
Not need leveling to progress?
You need both character level and MSQ level to progress.
^
However your character level is independent of the MSQ level.
Almost all of your power comes from your gear, not your base level. Thats why its kind of meaningless.
So you can be character level 30 and still be on level 15 MSQ.
Genshin impact style
!faq altlvlguide
There, read that
oo difficulty usually: story dungeons/raids < alliance raids < extreme < unreal < savage < ultimate < glamour ๐
But I would say this:
Level maybe does not make an upgrade of power, but to the MSQ quests of high MSQ level, you may need leveling
if that what you mean
No
no, that was for caelum
oki
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.
imm head out then hahaha
!faq armouryexp @craggy star
'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.
Basically it's bonus XP when leveling alt classes
But not so, in GI you need some leveling, for high AR quests
To be fair DoH and DoL level up in a second anyway
Ok useful (y)
lmao
DoL on preferred server level faster than they can finish quest objectives
its rather silly
I would say, some leveling is required for high MSQ quests
oo you just aiming for dysynthesis stuffs? hehe
yeah, the more content you unlock the more method you can use for leveling ๐
atm, you might not have all your tools to level fast

i saw there are jobs like black smiths and stuff
how many jobs arethere
and is there a site
i can look at them
17 combat jobs 3 gatherers 8 crafters 1 limited
4 tanks, 3 Healers, 4 Melee DPS, 3 Physical Ranged DPS, 3 Caster DPS. 1 "Limited" caster which is a meme. Then 3 Gatherers and 8 crafters
o.o
for the combat jobs
thats alot...
should note that crafting/gathering is entirely optional
i meant like carpenter and so on
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
BLU is not a meme....
i like those things tho
like i like crafting and stuff
like sewing
idk if it has it tho
BLU is 100% a meme. But it's a fun meme.
the tailoring hahaha
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?
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
Can't pick up red mage on trial
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
What is the best job to start?
any of them
the one you like ๐
so like a weaver will need ingots and leather from blacksmith/armorer and leatherworker
i can do all of them right
i know I canยดt try the job thats why ask
yep!
or am i stuck to one
That depends. How new are you to MMO's?
The best job is the one you like the best.
ill have plenty to do them
Cause now Im reading that some jobs when MSQ is completed, they level faster, so, gonna avoid those until complete msq
Honestly what Aura said Jota
if i use some gear as glamour, will the gear that get copied disappeared ?
arcanist 2 jobs on one pet and a small heal
All jobs level faster when below the level of your highest
Healers and tanks tend to be favored by speedrunners because they get quicker instance queues, but that's about it.
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?
no, gear doesn't get used when you glamour with it @quasi thistle
ACN was my first class in XIV...
check out this video https://youtu.be/k_vH-1WZQ3A ๐
If this vid helped you pick a job lemme know, I wanna judge you on your choice :)

00:00 Intro
01:...
maybe you have another one you like beside redmage
Different times.....you know where im going with that.
Thats up to you. If you want the most "value" out of the trial might as well finish it
@waxen pivot you get one totem per clear, with the weapon costing 1 totem
It was only Heavensward! ๐
use this for faster speedrun 
Its transmog
basically making your gear look like another piece of gear
@twilit arch oh wow didnt realize it was just one clear lol
Basically
arcanist also is slower on the lower levels because of dot damage
i mean ultimates are extremely hard
That's not a speedrun, that's a skip. Totally different.
so getting that clear isn't going to be easy
Also doesn't make a difference to the speed with which you get through the MSQ.
@twilit arch Are ultimates synced ilvl wise or can you go in with a higher ilvl?
they are ilvl sync'd
Level and item level
and are not able to be unsync at all
Ultimates are pretty much the same difficulty forever
And can never be unsynced
to preserve their difficulty
Only job changes and additions would change its difficulty
Salutes thanks for commenting (y)
But thats only on the dps front
Older ones have had their dps checks diminished because of stat scaling and gear sync
But they're still mechanically challenging
Does gaining xp in bozja deplete rested xp as usual?
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 ?
red mage are said to be the easiest job to pick up and play is that true?
How many days does it typically take to raise a tribe's rank to max?
Red mage has an easier learning curve
If you're talking MSQ Ultima, then yeah, he gets nae nae'd real easy by skills and gear now
I think DNC is probably easier than RDM.
If you're talking about arr tribes roughly 15 days if you do all the available quests to that tribe. And about 3 weeks for the expac ones iirc
back then, near death, maybe around 5% hp ? , ult weapon will cast Ultima, if the DPS check fail = Wipe
DAMN thank you lol
A testament to the amount of stat bloat that happened betwen 2.0 and 2.55
Why can't i open new game + thing ?
did you unlock it? it's behind a 
Unlocks in vesper bay at Totally not xehanort
Well thanks but thats weird that the game doesnt tell about this
like how am i supposed to know
You can say that about a lot of things
very strange
"Wow this game didn't tell me I can do this raid now"
Or "wow the game never told me about the challenge log"
patch notes 
in game
Please have a giant patch note link pop up in game

Is there risk of spoilers of commmunity events, like FFXV or Nier ones?
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
Nier even kinda stands alone from Automata and XIV storylines honestly
beside the location setting in XIV which you may count as a spoiler
Nier is definitely a weird one
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
Is it still okay to level up classes to 80 in hoh?
^
Uuf
71-80 should be either doing trust dungeons or bozja
can also throw in daily pixie tribe dailies and hunt bills if you want
but speaking as someone who played Nier crossover before Automata, and thought I spoiled Automata for myself
i really didn't, not at all
Its not really possible to spoil something that doesnt make sense to begin with.
is there any ingame channels for non-novices that a lot of people talk in? Do you guys know?
Like the novice network
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
The most wise is not do the events
They're not.
The XIV NieR is confirmed connected to ending F
Really?
Well, hold on
Yes
there is some stuff that i think could be considered....."spoilery"
but its avoidable
Just dont collect the archive entry items until later
Hello so I'm level 52 on free trial now , can I get primal mounts ?
And how can I get em
is it important to use materia for someone who didnt reach endgame?
how to get into Inn room ?
No not at all. Its not even important at endgame if you don't do savage
Talk to the innkeeper at whatever city you're at
where is the npc at gridania ?
They're obtained from the extreme versions of the primal fights. Generally not easy to do through duty finder so best to make a friend so that they can put up a party finder for you if you want it synced. If not have a lv80 friend bring you in unsynced
thanks!
hi does anyone have a source on square's ceast and desist
Their what?


next to their name
