lol

#

That's why i'm trying to find em

open coral
#

lol

hollow zealot
#

LOL

#

imma be playing all day and night today

open coral
#

I could offer healer queues

hollow zealot
#

so im sure ill learn alot

timid geyser
#

I can offer tank queue

open coral
#

Oh yes. Make sure to read all the Active Helps that pop up.

hollow zealot
#

imma try a bunch of classes today

#

im not sure yet

timid geyser
#

Still in hawkers alley ?

open coral
#

They'll appear when you encounter new systems in the game.

hollow zealot
#

yep i am

#

i just picked this class now cause i thought it would be easier to start as a dps

timid geyser
#

I'm here

open coral
#

In many ways, yes. Being dps is easier when you're trying to get a feel for the game.

#

Even with the Hall of the Novice content (which I hope you did for the free gear, at least), healing or tanking a real dungeon when you don't really know what's going on can be a challenge.

timid geyser
#

DOesn't seem like they did it, they're still in base gear

open coral
#

Oof

#

@hollow zealot Do the Hall of the Novice training scenarios all the way to the end. You'll get four free pieces of body gear (chest, gloves, legs, boots) and a ring that boosts your xp gains until level 30 and will last you most of the way to level 50 because it's got stats on it.

hollow zealot
#

ooooooooo

open coral
#

The body gear is equivalent to the gear you'll get in the first three dungeons.

hollow zealot
#

i got no idea where to find that one tho

#

@timid geyser

timid geyser
#

next to your first dungeon lol

open coral
#

There should be an NPC in the Adventurer's Guild with a sprout icon in a house shape called The Smith

#

You can also find him outside almost every early dungeon in the game.

#

Just talk to him and tell him you want to undergo training.

#

As a side note: he gives out three different sets of gear - one for casters/healers, one for tanks, and one for physical dps.

#

So you should do the scenarios once for each type for the sweet, sweet four pieces of gear (the ring is unique, so you can only get it once)

timid geyser
#

Imma make em a set of level 24 armor lol

open coral
#

Ooh

#

Schmancy

timid geyser
#

I've got weaver to the right level

#

the only things I can't make are a weapon and the left side

open coral
#

Ehh, they should be getting the weapons from their job quest every 5 levels anyways.

timid geyser
#

yeah

open coral
#

@hollow zealot You are doing your job quest every 5 levels, right?

hollow zealot
#

i think so yea

open coral
#

Good.

timid geyser
#

good uwu

open coral
#

Also, if you haven't been clued in to it already - there's a button on your character panel that will automatically equip the "best" gear (highest ilevel) that you own for your current class.

hollow zealot
#

i heard it was good to stick to one class and once u higher level u can mess around and try other since it goes faster to level em

open coral
#

At the top left corner of the character frame.

timid geyser
#

If it's story related go in a spoiler channel lol

open rivet
warped nest
#

They can happen simultaneously

open coral
#

If you've finished the entire MSQ (including up to patch 5.4), you can either farm Matoya's Relict for gear, or hop into the lower end of Eden (1-4).

hollow zealot
#

how do i get from my place to like 4 kingdoms away

#

do i run there or

warped nest
#

Teleport?

#

Airship

versed aspen
#

So what does White mage mostly do? I tried googling it but.. still a tad new so it confuses me xD

hollow zealot
#

air ship?

warped nest
#

White Mage is a healer

hollow zealot
#

lemme check

open coral
#

WHM is a reactive healer. Their role is to heal damage after it's taken, and they're very very good at that.

warped nest
#

Where are you now, Caly, and where do you want to go?

versed aspen
#

whats the difference between white mage and scholar?

timid geyser
#

well

open coral
#

WHM is reactive, SCH is more about stopping damage before it happens.

timid geyser
#

scholar is more of a preventive healer

versed aspen
#

Ahh okay, I should play white mage then LOL

warped nest
#

Scholar can deploy shield, on top of restoring HP

hollow zealot
#

i gotta go to the black shroud and im currently heading towards lamia

#

or however its called

open coral
#

Where WHM's toolkit mostly revolves around really big healing after the fact, SCH's revolves around various shields and smaller heals from their fairy.

warped nest
#

Do you not interact with the big aetheryte crystals in cities and settlements?

#

Doing so register them into your teleport menu

timid geyser
#

Why did you not just tp to Gridania ?

versed aspen
#

Ahh thank you! ill def give WHM a try then

hollow zealot
#

i do but i havent gone by alot of them yet

warped nest
#

What Kiyomi said

hollow zealot
#

o.o

warped nest
#

Just to be clear on the healer front

hollow zealot
#

im stupid...?

warped nest
#

They have enough tools to fulfill the their roles. Just that they have different ways to get it done.

timid geyser
#

nice, i need tam tara for curtana atma's upgrades

hollow zealot
#

ill take the air craft i guess

#

imma check

timid geyser
#

I could just do it unsync but eh

#

Are you still on you 30 free days ?

#

the ones you get when buying the game

hollow zealot
#

i brought the game last night like full pack

#

so i got a free 30 days

timid geyser
#

Did you register an invitation code ?

warped nest
#

Make it a habit to interact with aetheryte crystal whenever you arrived in a new location

hollow zealot
#

what inv code

warped nest
#

This will save you from a lot of headache

timid geyser
#

👀

warped nest
#

It is just a thing so people can get some tiny freebie

#

Not compulsory

hollow zealot
#

omg

#

i took the air craft

#

insta got to the place i had to be

#

thanks

#

q,q

timid geyser
#

yes

warped nest
#

Cool

#

Still do the aetheryte thing though

#

Have fun~~

hollow zealot
#

i will

#

thank you

tawny hatch
#

How much spellspeed should you aim for as a BLM?

west spruce
#

#

tawny hatch

#

1800 spellspeed

#

what does allagan catalyst do? c:

#

Acvtually, I guess I could wiki it

ornate sand
#

What reputation do i require to use the Kobold Vendor in Outer LeNoscea?

obsidian patio
#

Just 1 for access

#

If you want dyes it’s rank 2, rank 3 or 4 for the mount/minion

ornate sand
#

Yeah dyes is what im after

#

How many days of quests is that roughly?

obsidian patio
#

5 days IIRC

ornate sand
#

Thanks for the help

raw granite
#

Wait so the stuff in your armoire isn't in your glamour dresser ?

pliant quest
hot eagle
#

no an yes dresser has access to the armoire(dosent take away space from the 400 spaces the dresser has) and also the armoire is mostly for seasonal gear/stuff to store in

raw granite
#

I tried to make a plate with stuff in my armoire and it didn't show

green grail
hollow zealot
#

if i wanted to do summoner and mechanist

#

would that be a good combo

#

i like bows and guns

#

o.o

green grail
#

just level what you want

#

you can level everything

raw granite
#

There's not really such a thing as a good job combo, you can ever only be one at a time. If you want to do some 4head shit with jobs, level a healer, you'll get into every instance instantly

hollow zealot
#

mhm

#

i would probobly main one of those two tho

#

XD

raw granite
#

You're gonna need to level a class to 50 before you can play machinist anyway

hollow zealot
#

im currently still new but i started with black mage

#

so leveling right now

raw granite
#

If you want to play summoner you're gonna need to pick up arcanist asap

hollow zealot
#

oh

#

how

#

im currently level 27

green grail
#

go to limsa and unlock arcanist

hollow zealot
#

oki

green grail
#

if you're far enough into msq and did your level 10 thaumaturge quest then you can unlock all classes

worthy basin
green grail
#

no, something above 59m

worthy basin
#

okay thanks

green grail
#

the longest you can get is 1h20 if you pop two with the fc food buff

#

so something between 60 and 80 mins

silver ruin
#

i thought it didnt go past 1 h?

glass oxide
#

It doesn't

green grail
#

you can only stack 2 foods

#

if you have the fc buff then it's 40m x2

#

as far as i know at least

glass oxide
#

No it only goes up to 60 minutes

#

Even with the company buff

hollow zealot
#

i got no idea where lamia is

#

lmao

glass oxide
#

Or wait

green grail
#

then it wouldn't ever show the 1h, if you popped two and it capped at 60m then it would go down to 59m:59s instantly and show 59m on the food buff

#

but it stays on the 1h for quite a while so.. probably the extra 20 minutes

glass oxide
#

Hmmm.....

#

Last time I tried it went down immediately but now it does show one hour

worthy basin
hollow zealot
#

crystal

#

i just havent learned where to go yet

green grail
#

lamia is a world in the primal datacenter

#

a server

hollow zealot
#

no limiana

#

or some name

#

to get arcanist

green grail
#

limsa

worthy basin
#

limsa?

hollow zealot
#

lol

#

ooh

#

yea

green grail
#

it's one of the 3 main cities that you visit around level 15 msq, before the first dungeon

hollow zealot
#

yeah i just dont know how to find it again hahaha

green grail
#

max is 60, you need all 3 stats met, and not sure about the exp but probably

leaden ginkgo
#

is it safe to put mogstation items in the dresser for glamour plates

green grail
#

yes

glass oxide
#

The third I think is reset weekly

green grail
#

every city and bigger location has an aetheryte, so if you attuned to it then you can just teleport to limsa @hollow zealot

#

and you should be attuning to every aetheryte you see

hollow zealot
#

is it called limsa?

green grail
#

limsa lominsa

hollow zealot
#

oki

#

imma check ty

#

found it

#

tyyyyy

#

now to find the acanist

#

fervent basin
#

need help I want to try out final fantasy but can't (downloaded it on steam), do I really need to buy something in order to get my registration code?

green grail
#

you shouldn't need a registration code

#

if you're using the trial launcher then select the option where you don't have a SE account or whatever

fervent basin
#

yea I was gonna use the trial version xqcT

green grail
#

and when you register through the launcher it'll add the trial to your new account

fervent basin
#

On the website?

green grail
#

in the launcher

#

it asks you if you have an account or not, iirc

#

so select you don't, and register

I made a square enix account can I not add it yet? until I make an account in game?

green grail

there's a 99% chance it's a different account, there's like 4 different SE accounts and it's a total mess for new players so

#

just register through the launcher and that'll be your ffxiv account

dang I can't use my email eggySadge need to use another one

hollow zealot

im guessing things like costume is put above ur actual gear

Glamour needs a side quest and then you use glamour prism

#

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

umbral hollow
#

can someone explain me this? is a bit huge difference and I dont see why

open coral
#

Explain what?

timid geyser
#

I was going to ask the same lol

timid geyser
#

Yes ?

umbral hollow
#

like -10€ the same?

#

why?

timid geyser
#

because it's instant gaming

#

grey market and all

open coral
#

Third party reseller.

green grail
#

it's a key reseller, they always sell cheaper codes, either bought earlier on sale and selling now for profit or with not too legal means

timid geyser
#

^

#

Mostly it's not too legal means

open coral
#

Better to buy from a verified source (SE/PS Store/Amazon/Gamestop/etc.) than from third party resellers like that.

timid geyser
#

The game is cheaper than on isntant gaming when on sale tho

#

so just wait for a sale on the SE store

leaden ginkgo
#

I wouldn't distrust EVERY 3rd party reseller but Instant Gaming is not one I would trust lol

timid geyser
#

I would distrust every 3rd party reseller

open rivet
timid geyser
#

Amazon marketplace yes, but there's also verified vendors on amazon

umbral hollow
#

oh really? I didnt knew that never had any issue with instantgaming

surreal rapids
#

are battlecraft leves worth anything?
I'm leveling a lvl 73 dancer and I'm struggling to find an efficient way to gain exp while in queue

timid geyser
#

battlecraft leves aren't worth anything

#

I even think they don't exist in anything after ARR

open rivet
#

after HW

raven sage
#

After hw

open rivet
#

HW has some

timid geyser
#

There's till battle leves in HW ?

#

the more you know

surreal rapids
#

ah ok, i didnt know

analog gate
#

try beast tribes (pixies) and FATEs

open rivet
#

they're worth the achievement and the feeling of accomplishment after doing them all

surreal rapids
#

i've been doing leves for min and bot, but im nearly capped

#

but dancer is taking quite a long time
other than the MSQ roulette, every exp source is really small

raven sage
#

Beast Tribe quests are a decent quick source

surreal rapids
#

ok, that's good to know
it's my first time leveling an alt, so i dont really know what to do

manic rune
#

best exp source is queuing for highest level dungeon u have unlocked excluding level cap dungeons (50/60/70s)

#

apart from roulettes of course

leaden ginkgo
#

I currenty have a level 58 Blacksmith. I'm a bit confused on how to make money with it. Do i just start crafting and selling boss weapons ?

timid geyser
#

endgame stuff mostly

manic rune
#

making money from crafting is difficult until level 80

#

and works best in conjunction with level 80 gatherers available

leaden ginkgo
#

What should i be trying to sell once im level 80

#

As a BSM

manic rune
#

blacksmith makes weapons and tools so you’d be aiming to craft and sell whatever is most in demand by the time u reach 80

#

every server’s economy is slightly different

#

so it’s hard to say what exactly you should be making and selling

#

a big part of making money as a crafter is watching the market and meeting demands of buyers

#

some endgame omnicrafters advertise crafting services on party finder in exchange for gil, so that’s also viable

leaden ginkgo
#

Sigh

#

I thought this would be simple

#

Not doing market research 😫

manic flare
# leaden ginkgo Sigh

you could sell the exarchic gear that the BSM can make, that's what's usually in demand

#

but again it's server dependent

gritty oracle
#

how many sky scrips do I get from a single lb80 max collectability recipe?

little swift
#

63

gritty oracle
#

damn that's... not a lot

little swift
#

its not really in demand so much anymore now that we've passed the initial raid hump

#

i mean its less effort overall in comparison to the expert

manic rune
#

it adds up pretty quick

little swift
#

because you can just run a macro

gritty oracle
#

fair

#

but 10 mats per craft and only 63 scrips for an item... damn. I'll be here for a while.

little swift
#

they're super cheap now on the market

gritty oracle
#

they are?

manic rune
#

weaver mats are still disgustingly expensive on crystal last time i checked

little swift
#

depends on your job obviously

manic rune
#

everything else is dirt cheap

little swift
#

but many of the mats

#

besides ones shared across jobs are dirt cheap

gritty oracle
#

probably a custom emote

#

/em aggressively pets <t>

there's a setting for that

and for new crafted gear to go to armoury?

If I started an account on my PS4 can I switch and use the same character on my PC?

wheat plume
open coral
#

A lot of people (myself included) also prefer to use a controller for the PC version.

terse heath
#

I guess that's true. And you can use a controller on the PC. I guess you could get any situation to work how you like.

open coral
#

Honestly the only major difference between the two platforms is load times. PS4 load times are several seconds slower than PC load times.

wheat plume
#

I use controller for fights, kb for chatting

serene cloud
#

Really? I might have to look into getting that then any opions on good KBs for the PS4 or will any bluetooth one do?

serene cloud
open coral
#

Yep. Any USB keyboard is fine. If you wanted to set that up on PS4, you'd just plug the keyboard into the second controller USB port.

serene cloud
#

Sweet thanks guys I'll have to try playing around with this!

wheat plume
#

I plug kb and mouse in both usb ports in ps4

Does anyone know how buying a 60 day playtime card from the squex store works?

#

Do they email you the code after purchase or sumn?

open ember
#

You purchase it, you go over to the "redeem codes" section of your SE account, and retrieve the code and then put that code on the Mogstation

leaden ginkgo
#

How would i craft boss weapons if im a level 60 blacksmith ?

#

For example tsukuyomi moonlit weapons

south roost
#

to level my dark knight should i be doing levelling duty roulette or just queueing for specific dungeons

twilit arch
#

you should be doing your leveling roulette once a day and then doing highest lvl dungeon you can queue for (barring 50/60/70 dungeons)

south roost
#

ok

twilit arch
#

you need the master recipe books to craft those, specifically Master VI @leaden ginkgo

south roost
#

how long will it take to get to 50 from 32 by doing dungeons as dark knight?

#

12 hours?

twilit arch
#

uh not sure on exact numbers, but shouldn't take too long

#

especially if you've got the road to 70 buff

south roost
#

how do i get the road to 70 buff

twilit arch
#

you had to have created a character on a preferred server to get it

south roost
#

oh im on aether i cant get it

question i brought something of the site

#

where do i find it in game

toxic falcon
#

so question

#

I got ff14 on my ps4, the complete edition

#

Now that i have a pc i wanna play it on my pc

#

which ver do i get? do i get the complete edition or the shadowbringers edition?

faint flare
#

Complete

#

You basically rebuy the whole thing again

#

But you do get 30days free again

leaden ginkgo
#

hey, what do you do to lvl your dps ? Whatever content I try to tag it takes very long time, roulettes or even potd/hoh

toxic falcon
#

alright. thx

tropic frigate
#

Does better gear lead to better survivability in Bozjan?

faint flare
#

No

tropic frigate
#

Or is your resistance rank leading

faint flare
#

Your stats are static

desert ravine
faint flare
#

Gear and resistance rank changes nothing

toxic falcon
#

there is also a steam edition

#

Diffrences?

faint flare
#

Steam permanently locks you to it

#

On the pc side

#

And all future expansions must br brought from steam and not other retailers

#

Even if other retailers have sales

toxic falcon
#

ah

#

so not the best option

faint flare
#

Thats the main downside of steam

#

You do get to pay with steam wallet so thats a thing if you care about it

#

And depending on Regional pricing it might be cheaper but eh

toxic falcon
#

When i get the money ill get it on pc

#

i have a huge list of games i now wanna get and play

cold steppe
#

so in SHB you get only 3 beast tribe quests daily? Unlike ARR where you can do more than 3/day? mooglethink

faint flare
faint flare
#

+3 more on rank up days

cold steppe
#

i see

tropic frigate
#

I scarcely used those because @faint flare I have so little of them

cold steppe
#

im still mostly working on ARR Ones so i wouldnt know, thanks!

faint flare
#

You can buy some fragments off market board for a boost

tropic frigate
#

yoshiglasses wait, bruh I'm buying a ton

faint flare
#

You do need higher resistance rank to open the higher rank fragments like the ones from castrum

#

But you can buy them ofd market

#

And they tell you what skills are in them

#

Actions dont disappear from your Holster or duty action slot like in Eureka until you fully consume them or replace them with another

#

So always have something slotted

#

And a stock of essenses

terse kindle
#

if i buy the 10$ game on steam do i have 1month of play?

forest sage
#

if it's your first time buying it on PC, you can't keep registering the code to get free months unless it's a different platform(like Mac would work, or PS4, just not the same)

terse kindle
#

thats not my question

#

i've never played

#

only trial

#

im asking if i buy the game i have 1 month of play

forest sage
#

yeah then the first part still applies, "if it's your first time"

Also, once you reach a certain point in the story quest you get some extra days. Don't remember how many.

I can confirm that buying it on steam will afford you 30 days of free play when purchasing the game. However, once you purchase the game you forfeit your access to the limited free edition of the game.

Advice, in case u don't know: get a reference code from someone for some cute extras.
Choose a preferred server for double xp up to a certain level for 90 days.

Special note: they say special deals are more frequent on the non-steam edition. I can't confirm if this is true. The steam version is separate from the other versions, I don't think it carries the cross-platform functionality for instance. So the steam edition does give some minor drawbacks depending on your future needs.

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)

# leaden ginkgo hey guys, i am just about to start this mmorpg (got tired of wow same shit ever...

TL;DR if you're a WoW veteran -

  1. Story is relevant and good in this game. Its not written by incompetent morons like at Blizzard. Take the time to enjoy it because its a core feature of the game
  2. You only need one character (which can level up every "class"), and nothing on character creation has any impact on player power.
  3. Classes in this game are extremely well balanced, so play what you think is fun. Usually the split between best and worst is less than 10%, unlike WoW where it can be over 100%.

I'd say those are the core three things that if you're used to WoW will be strange or different

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah i played wow since 2007 so i pretty much know my way around mmorpg's

looks like my character needs a surname that kind of is meh but oh well

1: job quests
2: dungeon/trial/raid unlock quests
3: main story quests (msq)
4: great company quests
5: ignore all else unless you find something that seems particularly fun to you.

Everything in this game is initially locked. Story level is the main culprit, but more importantly the two others mentioned above. So doing those are what matters. Even character level is irrelevant since it's always going to be higher than story level.

For this reason it's recommended to level a single class to max level before starting a second. The exception being if you find you've chosen the wrong class for you.

leaden ginkgo

so focus on the MSQ and job quests? gotcha right now im just running aroudn the city handing shit in lol i'll finish up these quests and just do the main story stuff and jobs then

Someone please tell me if this thought process is correct. Long story short the best way to make consistent money on the market board and to SAVE money is to get a gathering class then you sell whatever crafting stuff is in high demand

simple shore
#

But its functional

#

Any version of a proposed best way that doesnt involve being a crafter yourself is likely to be wrong

vapid sky
#

most of my fourtune was made HQing the entire crafting list and selling it.

#

mind you did that around expansion launch so everything from lvl 1 to cap was in demand when I burned the list down

If you want consistent reliable income, sell consumables on MB and do direct sales of gear sets

Consumables pretty much always will sell and there's always demand

Sell furniture right before housing launch

You can't queue for random groups as BLU, and you can currently only go as far as level 60.

Although they've said they'll be raising the level cap to 70 for BLU before the end of the current expansion.

BLU is a meme, and a fun one at that

And you can't use it to do MSQ quests.

so basicly its all solo

can i atleast join parties with friends and do open world with them?

to answer why i had to choose well. my friends all play in higher level areas and i told them id try to finish the story and get my character to level 60 before feb 12 when i do get it

strange coral

You can keep your character when you switch from trial to paid. Also you can revisit the story through new game plus on a character that's already completed it.

open coral
#

Oh, that's dumb. You shouldn't let your friends determine how you play the game.

#

It's not like they can't come play with you while you go through the MSQ.

placid raptor
#

true. however. i must admit i am rushing because i do owe them for what they have done. i have been in a very depressing state and was about to leave ps4. but they helped me get back the mental strength to make friends and be happy again. i heard they wanted to get a guild but with what they are planning to buy. its about maybe 40mil. and even though i cap at 300k in trial. i still wanna donate it all to them so that we can all become a guild together.

#

they returned my happiness. the least i can do is get to their level and help them stock up gil

open coral
#

One time a bunch of my friends and I got together - two of them were still in the SB story - and two of us with the 4-man mounts drove the group around to the different quest locations. We all hung out in Discord and those of us who had done the story would just vague the ones who hadn't, stuff like "oh, you're going to have to leave the group now. It's totally not important why." when they were about to go into a major boss fight solo instance.

#

And we'd all laugh over the dismayed shrieks when they discovered what we hadn't been telling them.

Hi, I just got the game and am pretty overwhelmed about where to begin. I was wondering if anyone could spend some time with me and help to show me the ropes

dense hound
#

@dusky sparrow
So here’s the thing, like...
if you want to, go for it. Most of the player base discussion is at the endgame, at lvl80. Getting one job up to there and then leveling others is a more efficient way to do it. However, if you think that rogue/ninja shit is cool, go for it.

dusky sparrow

alrighty then

gonna get that marauder/warrior thing up first then ninja

dusky sparrow
#

@pure bough thanks for the info

strange coral

That's not entirely accurate. Switching to rogue/ninja requires level 10 on your first job and access to Limsa. Level 30 is for upgrading marauder to warrior (and also requires a level 20 msq).

cold forge
#

yeah its the fastest dungeon for last relic step

green grail
# sweet leaf ELI5? My brain is fizzling trying to comprehend the words you're giving me

endgame raids are hard, the most advanced groups and everyone else goes into them on release with no prior experience and they prog(ress) it, so figure out what the boss does (mechanics) and how it should be handled, it's a lengthy process so being at that "stage" of most recent raids where you/your group are learning how to clear it is called prog, for the best players prog takes around 3-4 days of nonstop playing 18h+ a day, for more casual players, even with guides to each fight, it can take a week, a month or 6 months, depending on player skill and other factors

sweet leaf
#

ok, i think i understand

green grail
#

and after you and your group know what to do, you "farm" the raids, they only give loot once a week, so after prog most groups go down to one raid day per week and clear all the fights in 1-2 hours

when people say pull wall to wall

do they mean pull all the mobs between each dungeon boss

faint flare
#

Bots

worthy rain
#

what kind of style is easier? tank, dps, or healer?

forest sage
#

gonna depend on the player, I'd say DPS has less responsabilities, but tend to have harder gameplay

#

tank has the easiest gameplay usually, but has more responsabilities, so not everyone like them

worthy rain
#

Ok, there are more: ranged dps, melee dps

forest sage
#

choose how, the easiest? machinist probably, but can't be started with

modest igloo
#

RDM is pretty simple as well

forest sage
#

for melee easiest would be maybe SAM or DRG

worthy rain
#

no ok, I was asking about easier to play

forest sage
#

out of the starting class easiest DPS I'd say is Lancer(dragoon later)

worthy rain
#

Ok, great

open coral
#

IMO the easiest class in the entire game is DNC (Dancer). As ranged physical dps, they don't have to worry about standing still to cast, monitoring the party's health, their MP, or tankbusters, so mechanics are easy. From a rotation standpoint, their most basic rotation is simply following combos and using their Steps on cd.

#

However since they're a ShB expansion class, they're not available on free trial.

worthy rain
#

from SHB?

open coral
#

Yes.

worthy rain
#

ok, did not read ''however......'', just the ''easiest class'

open coral
#

For classes you can play from 1, I would say ARC would fall under the "easy class" category as well, although they do tend to get a little more complex as you get into higher levels where you have song management, monitoring your dots, and dealing with procs.

#

They still have the advantages of being ranged physical dps though.

modest igloo
#

all classes start easy and get more difficult

worthy rain
#

awesome

scarlet arrow
#

lancer certainly has one of the simplest rotations in the game

worthy rain
#

thanks for commenting (y)

black mage, from the beginning, thaum..... , good dps, have to wait for cast, but no so much responsabilities in community gameplay

scarlet arrow
#

while some jobs have their rotations change dramatically as they go up in level eyes black mage, lancer/dragoon really just keeps adding on to what's already there

forest sage
#

black mage is relatively simple rotation, but suffers heavily from movement(at least early) so it can be rough to do boss mechanics if you don't know what to expect while keeping your rotation going

open coral
#

Yeah, but DRG gets harder between the point where you get Blood of the Dragon and the point where you get Wheeling Thrust.

worthy rain
#

what is a rotation change?

forest sage
#

obviously for leveling and stuff it kinda doesn't matter all that much

open coral
#

Because you have to use Blood of the Dragon with the right timing since there's no way to maintain it.

forest sage
#

well your low lvl rotation is one way, then after you get certain skills, it changes

scarlet arrow
#

I mean you basically ignore blood of the dragon until you get wheeling thrust

forest sage
#

black mage rotation evolves a few times as you level

worthy rain
open coral
#

For example:

#

#

your rotation is the order you press your buttons

fire orb will also remove frozen, but very few people bother doing it properly anymore

open coral
#

But it's better to get yourself frozen, and then someone with a fire ball tethered can melt you.

#

And the lightning balls should be getting dragged to the three pillars of light.

#

But as Pyros said, almost nobody does mechanics anymore.

umbral ferry
#

I dont not want to transfer my character to different datacentre. So, I can create a new character in different datacentre even I am the Standard sub?

faint flare
#

Yes

umbral ferry
#

Sorry if I am kinda dumb X)

faint flare
#

Standard is the highest tier sub

#

It allows 40 characters, 8 per world

umbral ferry
#

how about entry sub then?

faint flare
#

8 characters max, 1 per world

umbral ferry
#

I see

wheat plume
#

Is there glam for something like this:

umbral ferry
#

So I have to upgrade my sub inorder to play in different DC then. Is my understanding correct?

faint flare
#

No

wheat plume
faint flare
#

You dony

frigid pelican
#

were there already jobs in ffxiv version 1.0?

#

i don't remember

umbral ferry
#

Thx @faint flare

wide path
#

pretty sure the answer is no, but there's not a way currently to trade unaugmented ironworks gear + poetics for the augmented version is there?

faint flare
#

The only reason you need to upgrade sub if you want more thab 8 characters or characters on the same world

faint flare
#

There is for shire/scaevan

#

But not ironworks

wide path
#

yea that's what i thought, saw something in the latest patch notes that sounded like they may have changed it but looks like they haven't

#

oh well

glass oxide
#

Have you tried that ?

twilit arch
#

that requires you to own the augment items

#

actually, no you're right they changed it it seems

#

that drake can augmented with poetics now

#

lol stupid question - where do I turn venture promissary notes into ventures? I don't see an option when talking to my retainers <?>

strange coral
#

Calamity salvager I think

dusky sparrow
#

Does it make sense to buy the complete edition or just shadowbringers?

forest sage
#

depends on what you have

dusky sparrow
#

nothing

#

free trial

#

but both are the same thing

forest sage
#

if you have nothing you NEED the complete(which is both starter+shadow)

frail marsh
#

thanks @strange coral

forest sage
#

they're not the same thing

strange coral
#

"Just Shadowbringers" is not the same thing. You need the base game too

dusky sparrow
#

so gotta buy starter edition

faint flare
#

You literally cant use the Shadowbringers code if you dont OWN Arr and heavensward

dusky sparrow
#

and shadowbringers

faint flare
#

Or complete edition

forest sage
#

yes or complete, which is both in one pack

dusky sparrow
#

but free trial includes heavensward

faint flare
#

Which is both in one pack

#

Yes

forest sage
#

they should be the same price

faint flare
#

But you DONT OWN IT

frozen girder
#

How long does it take to get the referral gold chocobo feathers ._.

forest sage
#

trial is trial

faint flare
#

You dont own the license to them

strange coral
#

Having the trial doesn't count as owning the starter

dusky sparrow
#

alright understood

faint flare
#

You cant use dlc for a game you dont own..dlcs don't work on demos

forest sage
#

referal was instant iirc, try relogging/checking mail, but there could be delays depending on their servers and stuff

#

usually 24h max

frozen girder
#

Kk

#

I should be able to get a 2 seater mount right?

obsidian patio
#

If they pay for enough subscription, then yes

frozen girder
#

The Drought Chocobo tho

#

You can buy one for 8 feathers

obsidian patio
#

You still need them to pay for subscription for you to get feathers

frozen girder
#

What?

twilit arch
#

you get 5 for people using the code, and 5 more when they subscribe for 150/210/270 days so yes

frozen girder
#

So I should get 10

twilit arch
#

you should be able to buy the draught once you receive your initial feathers

void vigil
#

I have a level 70 character from the stormblood xpac. I quit after hitting 70. If I want to start again on a new class, do I need to start all the way from level 1 doing the MSQ again? How long would it take to get to the new max level?

frozen girder
#

Since I recruited 2 peeps

twilit arch
#

mh

frozen girder
#

You do

#

But you get double EXP for your lower classes

#

And you don't need to do MSQ

faint flare
#

You wont need to do MSq again

forest sage
#

you don't do the MSQ again if you change class

faint flare
#

If its the same character

#

And only the base classes start at lv1

#

Expansion jobs start higher

frozen girder
#

Expansion jobs start 20 levels under the expansion's level cap

hot eagle

!faq altlvlguide

#

how can I download the client besides the free trial?

forest sage
#

you login the launcher

umbral hollow
#

I mean I go to ff14 site and only see try free trial

Unless you have the steam version

dreamy jasper
#

ahahahah ok

#

i played 11 a lot as a teen

#

Is it still super dependent on parties to level? Are there any soloing classes?

faint flare
#

No

#

You level the first job via story

scenic vale
#

are beast tribes from one expansion locked behind anything besides the MSQ i.e. can I skip heavensward tribes and go straight to stormblood tribes

faint flare
#

Which all jobs can do

wide path
#

i've only done the ShB tribes so think you can skip ya

faint flare
scenic vale
#

perfect thanks

obsidian patio
#

Some beast tribes need a small series of side quests done to unlock

#

But they’re completely separate from each other

forest sage
#

some need a long series too

wheat plume
#

is it illegal to sell/buy houses for gil?
Also, I've seen people suggest before selling them, to make somewhat of an agreement in the chat, so if the owner doesn't give the house after have received the gil you can make him be baned because (citing what other people say) "saying to do something in exchange for gil and not doing it after receiving it" it's worth a ban.
How true or false is that?

faint flare
#

If they dont live up to the written agreement then its a reportable scam

umbral hollow
strange coral
#

Because you already have it installed. You have the trial, right?

wheat plume
faint flare
#

I would probably do it under Harassment probably and make it fully clear about the Scam, with timestamps of the conversation

umbral hollow
#

yes the think is I have trial version then bought shadowbringers but there was no space on the main disk so I move the folder to a external disc but things go a little strange

raw granite
#

I don't understand what aether currents are nor how they work, can someone give me the crash course ? I've apparently unlocked one and I'm stumped

wheat plume
#

Are high ranks fc valuable for people to sell an entire fc? I've seeing the entitlements of high rank fc but I dont know if it's worth anything to pay (gil) for that.

wheat plume
faint flare
#

Travel > Aether currents to see how many you're missing

hot eagle
raw granite
#

Oooh ok

#

Thanks

#

Damn that's convoluted

faint flare
#

Its just collectibles needed for flight

#

They're generally on the story path

hot eagle
#

yeah best to do while you do your msq or it will be painfull to do it later

warm lily
#

Is there a mount speed guide

dire prawn
#

Is there anyone here who plays FFXIV on the PS4

warm lily
#

Like how to get them all

wheat plume
warm lily
#

I play on the ps5

faint flare
#

Many play on console

warm lily
#

Does that count

dire prawn
#

Does the PS4 version of FFXIV have like hotkeys and stuff like you can set if you use a controller on PC

#

Cause I'm giving up on trying to get this game to work on my laptop

faint flare
#

Yes

warm lily
#

Yes

faint flare
#

You can use controller on both platforms

#

And keyboard/mouse on both platforms

dense hound
#

I use controller and I like it

hot eagle
#

also can use keyboard and mouse on ps4

warm lily
#

I have many hotkeys and macros

#

On ps5 controller

dire prawn
#

I only have a laptop so I'll be using controller LUL

#

Are the controller controls good

faint flare
#

Yes

dire prawn
#

I've heard they're really good in FFXIV

faint flare
#

Extremely good

wheat plume
#

What hotkeys can you use in PC ? I've only mapped actions and macros in my controller

faint flare
#

Probably one of the better controller support

warm lily
#

Many options to do with controllers

faint flare
#

The game is designed to be played with controller

obsidian patio
# warm lily Is there a mount speed guide

Yes

jade lava

if im at 63rd for fisher on my server in skybuilder rankings and ive gained about 3k points today will i probably be safe for tommorow or do that many people hoard til the end

fierce cobalt
#

You can never be 100% sure but you're fairly safe

#

Since gatherers would not be able to earn money if they hoard

obsidian patio
#

You probably won’t be booted from top 100

leaden ginkgo
#

hey, since today I have hard flickering on my web browsers while my game is on, as soon as I close the game flickering is gone, any idea why it does that?

elfin edge
#

either bad graphics drivers or your gpu is dying or your computer is dying

jade lava
#

aight sweet, ty

tardy patio
#

your browser is skipping every other frame of displaying itself to match your game's FPS

fierce cobalt
#

If you're in the 80-90 range it would be a bit scarier

tardy patio

first suggestion is to turn off HDR if you have that on, and limit FPS output

jade lava
leaden ginkgo

  • last nvidia drivers, even reinstalled them a hour ago
  • GPU has just a year gtx 1660ti
  • the rest of the PC has 2 months only high end cpu and a lot of RAM
  • refresh rate of my screen is 144hz, my ingame refresh rate is set to unlimited (tried to lock to 144, flickering still here)
fierce cobalt
#

If you're still scared elsponge check patch 5.2 and 5.3 rankings and see how u compare there

tardy patio
#

limit your fps to 60 and see that

With the exception of the SMN-artifact sets, they share gear with BLM right?

tardy patio

jade lava

actually that said most people at the bottom are only about 5k

leaden ginkgo
#

I use my only hdmi port from my GPU to connect it to my tv

tardy patio
#

Yeah if you werent using displayport that flickering happens

leaden ginkgo
#

f*

tardy patio
#

since only that cable goes past 60 fps

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean I used to use hdmi at 144hz and flickering wasnt here

tardy patio
#

that means you werent actually using 144hz lol, but the situation is mostly if one monitor is using DP and the other is using non-DP

dire prawn
#

What is a preferred world

tardy patio
#

The non-DP monitor forces itself to match the DP one, which it cant, and fails to display 144hz. Or something like that

faint flare
leaden ginkgo
dire prawn
#

Oh

faint flare
#

100% xp gain on everything

leaden ginkgo
#

between red mage and dancer what you guys think is better to play? I just reach 60 for first time and I like both I dont have any friends to play with still how is dancer on solo? feels weak?

tardy patio
#

It shouldnt be possible to use HDMI and get 144hz so idk

dire prawn
#

How do I see the preferred worlds for Aether/Primal/Crystal and is there any difference between the three datacenters

faint flare
#

Dancer is fine

tardy patio
#

But if you already tried to limit your fps to 60 ingame and still get flickers with HDR off im not sure, because that solved my issue after getting only DP cables

faint flare

#

lower active population during a story content drought

#

HDR off ? I dont see that setting in my game

little swift
#

also stereotypical perpetuation

#

reduces overall new player joining

tardy patio
dire prawn
#

what does that mean

leaden ginkgo
#

my monitor isnt hdr so I guess I dont have that

dire prawn
#

stereotypical perpetuation

tardy patio
#

or Windows HDR in HD Color Settings

little swift
#

people always say "haha crystal bad only RP"

#

and that deters new players from joining if their purpose is to raid

dire prawn
#

oh

little swift
#

realistically

#

you can clear just fine on any data center

dire prawn

Well I think I'm gonna go to Midgardsormr for the xp boost then

faint flare

They're all in the same physical location for ping wise

that makes me crazy, how just switching a cable can cause flickering on google only when ffxiv is on, the game I always play when I use google lol,
