lol
I could offer healer queues
so im sure ill learn alot
I can offer tank queue
Oh yes. Make sure to read all the Active Helps that pop up.
Still in hawkers alley ?
They'll appear when you encounter new systems in the game.
yep i am
i just picked this class now cause i thought it would be easier to start as a dps
I'm here
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.
DOesn't seem like they did it, they're still in base gear
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.
ooooooooo
The body gear is equivalent to the gear you'll get in the first three dungeons.
next to your first dungeon lol
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)
Imma make em a set of level 24 armor lol
I've got weaver to the right level
the only things I can't make are a weapon and the left side
Ehh, they should be getting the weapons from their job quest every 5 levels anyways.
yeah
@hollow zealot You are doing your job quest every 5 levels, right?
i think so yea
Good.
good uwu
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.
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
At the top left corner of the character frame.
If it's story related go in a spoiler channel lol
yes, any job that is lower than your highest job gets bonus xperience
They can happen simultaneously
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).
So what does White mage mostly do? I tried googling it but.. still a tad new so it confuses me xD
air ship?
White Mage is a healer
lemme check
WHM is a reactive healer. Their role is to heal damage after it's taken, and they're very very good at that.
Where are you now, Caly, and where do you want to go?
whats the difference between white mage and scholar?
well
WHM is reactive, SCH is more about stopping damage before it happens.
scholar is more of a preventive healer
Ahh okay, I should play white mage then LOL
Scholar can deploy shield, on top of restoring HP
i gotta go to the black shroud and im currently heading towards lamia
or however its called
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.
Do you not interact with the big aetheryte crystals in cities and settlements?
Doing so register them into your teleport menu
Why did you not just tp to Gridania ?
Ahh thank you! ill def give WHM a try then
i do but i havent gone by alot of them yet
What Kiyomi said
o.o
Just to be clear on the healer front
im stupid...?
They have enough tools to fulfill the their roles. Just that they have different ways to get it done.
nice, i need tam tara for curtana atma's upgrades
I could just do it unsync but eh
Are you still on you 30 free days ?
the ones you get when buying the game
Did you register an invitation code ?
Make it a habit to interact with aetheryte crystal whenever you arrived in a new location
what inv code
This will save you from a lot of headache
👀
yes
How much spellspeed should you aim for as a BLM?
I have a set but its mostly crit and dh since its used for my summoner
1800 spellspeed
!faq balance
check there
What reputation do i require to use the Kobold Vendor in Outer LeNoscea?
5 days IIRC
Thanks for the help
Wait so the stuff in your armoire isn't in your glamour dresser ?
what is the diff between yellow and blue PF ?
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
I tried to make a plate with stuff in my armoire and it didn't show
its yellow cause its set to loot
if i wanted to do summoner and mechanist
would that be a good combo
i like bows and guns
o.o
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
You're gonna need to level a class to 50 before you can play machinist anyway
If you want to play summoner you're gonna need to pick up arcanist asap
go to limsa and unlock arcanist
oki
if you're far enough into msq and did your level 10 thaumaturge quest then you can unlock all classes
can i see on how many minutes remaining on that food?
no, something above 59m
okay thanks
the longest you can get is 1h20 if you pop two with the fc food buff
so something between 60 and 80 mins
i thought it didnt go past 1 h?
It doesn't
you can only stack 2 foods
if you have the fc buff then it's 40m x2
as far as i know at least
Or wait
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
primal?
limsa
limsa?
it's one of the 3 main cities that you visit around level 15 msq, before the first dungeon
yeah i just dont know how to find it again hahaha
max is 60, you need all 3 stats met, and not sure about the exp but probably
is it safe to put mogstation items in the dresser for glamour plates
yes
The third I think is reset weekly
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
is it called limsa?
limsa lominsa
oki
imma check ty
found it
tyyyyy
now to find the acanist
0.0 im learning new things
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?
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
yea I was gonna use the trial version 
and when you register through the launcher it'll add the trial to your new account
On the website?
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?
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
need to use another one
'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.
How can I quickly and easily exit Hide between pulls to reset my mudras? I usually use shukuchi if it's up, but it has a long cd.
death blossom
ah ty!
the aoe thing
You can also right click the buff to remove it
can someone explain me this? is a bit huge difference and I dont see why
Explain what?
I was going to ask the same lol
Yes ?
Third party reseller.
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
Better to buy from a verified source (SE/PS Store/Amazon/Gamestop/etc.) than from third party resellers like that.
The game is cheaper than on isntant gaming when on sale tho
so just wait for a sale on the SE store
I wouldn't distrust EVERY 3rd party reseller but Instant Gaming is not one I would trust lol
I would distrust every 3rd party reseller
Amazon
amazon marketplace is just as bad
Amazon marketplace yes, but there's also verified vendors on amazon
oh really? I didnt knew that never had any issue with instantgaming
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
battlecraft leves aren't worth anything
I even think they don't exist in anything after ARR
after HW
After hw
HW has some
ah ok, i didnt know
try beast tribes (pixies) and FATEs
they're worth the achievement and the feeling of accomplishment after doing them all
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
Beast Tribe quests are a decent quick source
ok, that's good to know
it's my first time leveling an alt, so i dont really know what to do
best exp source is queuing for highest level dungeon u have unlocked excluding level cap dungeons (50/60/70s)
apart from roulettes of course
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 ?
endgame stuff mostly
making money from crafting is difficult until level 80
and works best in conjunction with level 80 gatherers available
so you can gather materials and craft high demand items like raid food, crafted weapons, glamour, etc
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

you could sell the exarchic gear that the BSM can make, that's what's usually in demand
but again it's server dependent
how many sky scrips do I get from a single lb80 max collectability recipe?
63
damn that's... not a lot
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
it adds up pretty quick
because you can just run a macro
fair
but 10 mats per craft and only 63 scrips for an item... damn. I'll be here for a while.
they're super cheap now on the market
they are?
weaver mats are still disgustingly expensive on crystal last time i checked
depends on your job obviously
everything else is dirt cheap
I see what is the command to check aether preferred server again
"!preferred aether"
does anyone have the hunt discord? i cant find it :< i dont remember what it was called
ty
What can you get when your fc has a high rank?
different stuff at different ranks, you can check through "free company > info > entitlements"
Hey what armor set is this

whats a fair price per smoked chicken?
check marketboard history, it’ll be different on every server
can i do something so everytime i get new gear it goes to inventory?
Yes, there's a setting in character config for that
there's a setting for that
If I started an account on my PS4 can I switch and use the same character on my PC?
Turning off that setting should default all new gear to go to inventory, crafted or not.
yeah, but even with that setting by default, crafted gear goes to inventory always
and I'd like for it to go to armoury
I know you have to buy the game separately for both. But unsure whether you can play the same account. Good question, gonna look into it. I'm curious too.
untick "store all newly crafted items in your inventory"
thxs
Yeah, you can. But, again, you have to buy the software separately for both. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/a_realm_reborn/sp/product/important_notices
good use for en avant? DNC
Cool good to know I didn't realize I'd have to buy it again. This is my first MMO and I'm really starting to see why people play these on a PC lol
Yeah, I couldn't imagine playing a game like this on a console. But I know people do it and love it.
when you need to quickly move @wheat plume
you can use a kb and mouse in ps4 too
A lot of people (myself included) also prefer to use a controller for the PC version.
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.
Honestly the only major difference between the two platforms is load times. PS4 load times are several seconds slower than PC load times.
I use controller for fights, kb for chatting
Really? I might have to look into getting that then any opions on good KBs for the PS4 or will any bluetooth one do?
How would I set that up?
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.
Sweet thanks guys I'll have to try playing around with this!
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?
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
How would i craft boss weapons if im a level 60 blacksmith ?
For example tsukuyomi moonlit weapons
to level my dark knight should i be doing levelling duty roulette or just queueing for specific dungeons
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)
ok
you need the master recipe books to craft those, specifically Master VI @leaden ginkgo
how long will it take to get to 50 from 32 by doing dungeons as dark knight?
12 hours?
uh not sure on exact numbers, but shouldn't take too long
especially if you've got the road to 70 buff
how do i get the road to 70 buff
you had to have created a character on a preferred server to get it
oh im on aether i cant get it

How do I get the "To Be Continued.." on my Main Scenario tracker? The tracker disappeared after beating 5.4. I want this tracker so I can be reminded of incomplete Job Quests
@past sinew
how to paste a clickable coordinate from discord to ffxiv?
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?
Complete
You basically rebuy the whole thing again
But you do get 30days free again
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
alright. thx
Does better gear lead to better survivability in Bozjan?
No
Or is your resistance rank leading
Your stats are static
@leaden ginkgo pretty good guide https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bd7hd5/the_guide_to_leveling_your_alt_jobs_1_to_70_in/
2,552 votes and 303 comments so far on Reddit
Gear and resistance rank changes nothing
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
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
When i get the money ill get it on pc
i have a huge list of games i now wanna get and play
so in SHB you get only 3 beast tribe quests daily? Unlike ARR where you can do more than 3/day? 
Only ways to increase survivability is via Lost Actions and essenses/items from the lost fragments. Things like Lost Protect/shell, Essense of the beast for some lifesteal or whatever some defensive dps essenses are, resistance potions/auto potions/re raisers
All expansion beast tribes are 3 per day
+3 more on rank up days
i see
I scarcely used those because @faint flare I have so little of them
im still mostly working on ARR Ones so i wouldnt know, thanks!
You can buy some fragments off market board for a boost
wait, bruh I'm buying a ton
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
if i buy the 10$ game on steam do i have 1month of play?
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)
thats not my question
i've never played
only trial
im asking if i buy the game i have 1 month of play
yeah then the first part still applies, "if it's your first time"
What are splintered chests for?
Used to craft a housing decoration that looks like a treasure chest
super thanks
Try #recruitment-crystal, or duty finder or party finder in the game
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.
Thats a preferred world bonus the extra days
hey guys, i am just about to start this mmorpg (got tired of wow same shit everyday) anything i should know before starting?
!faq worldpick
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)
Wrong one on the first thing but it works
Which servers has the most english players then?
TL;DR if you're a WoW veteran -
- 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
- You only need one character (which can level up every "class"), and nothing on character creation has any impact on player power.
- 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
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
A major difference is that items from Marketboard (AH) instantly go to your inventory
ooh that is quite useful
no mailboxes then?
There's a mail system still but its not really used much
One of the NA Datacenters, Aether, Primal, Cyrstal
i'm EU
There are english speakers in other areas, but those are primarily English
Hmm I cant remember the unofficial englihs servers for EU
I'd like to make the counter-claim that the A Realm Reborn story is utter trash. You're more than likely to get into the habit of making liberal use of the skip cutsceene and dialogue options. They say the story gets better after story level 50.
afaik most of the EU servers speak english too
every server is english other than moogle and shiva pretty much
Returning player that hasn't tried potd yet... If you are leveling an alt from 15-30 using potd is the typical strategy just to do floors 1-10 get the exp and leave/start another run?
and even these have english speaking communities, but moogle is mostly french and shiva mostly german
Isnt it the other way around?
just made a character on "
Louisoix" they seem to be having a 100% xp event going on
No 51 to 60 is accessible to even trial players now @south portal
Moogle German and Shiva French?
hello I just got the acces to minions quest done but how do i call one now??
no it isn't
Oh nvm you right
cheers mate
Wait no its up floor 40 or something
character > minion guide @leaden ginkgo
Character, Minion Guide, Drag it to a hotbar
I'm trying to unlock The Hunt, & I've done the listed first quest thats required (the marked out one) as well as completed the MSQ, yet I can't accept the next quest, what am I missing? I'm also max rank in my GC.
Hmm brain melt can't remember but if you have access to 51 to 60 definitely use that
thank you
Dragging it to a hotbar makes it easy to summon
should i be doing side quests as well or just the main story quests?
I'm subbed so not a trial player. I can't do 51-60 until I finish floors 1-50 though correct?
Correct
"completed the MSQ" please elaborate
@leaden ginkgo which one can't you accept, the centurio one in HW?
Ok cool, so once I get to 50 I would just queue for 51-60 every time to get exp to level up?
Literally finished all MSQ quests
So you're level 80?
Yes
the hell
I dont remember that being an issue....
But 51 to 60 is the way to go up to lv60
Can someone explain Ascension to me? I saw all the +1s and +2s and all that on my cards, and that playing multiple cards of the same type increases their rank, but does it actually boost their statistics/sides?
if you've done The Hunt at your GC, you should be able to get the clan hunt quest in Ishgard, check the board outside the forgotten knight, you don't have access to that?
Yeah that's what I have primarily been doing, I am so far behind on my MSQ that I decided to level all the classes up to 50 to take advantage of all the exp I will get so getting bored of the same dungeons

Last I played was 5 years ago.... so I have a lot of content lol
Its +1 to all stats @gritty oracle iirc for each successive card played
Oop I see the issue, I unlocked tier 1 & 2, just never 3
Never done Hunts before tbh

Do consider that msq is a bulk majority of your exp gains so try not to leave that behind @south portal
Can it sometimes take a while for stuff you've bought from the store to come via delivery moogle?
Just don't burn out on potd or dungeons
good troubleshooting the hunt quests is a pain since it's hard to tell where people are so it's nice you figured out what the issue was
Yes it does@pallid adder
Ah okay I was worried there for a minute lol
What stats do samarais benefit Direct hit rate or determination?
So hey I been having screen shot problems it keeps saying screenshot failed and i want to know if there a way to fix it
I bought the tales of a bard because I wanna play instruments and I'm too lazy to actually go do it legit
Crit, direct hit, determination. Samurai also needs skill speed to a specific point for rotational stuff
Skill speed to tier > crit > dhit > det
I already tried fixing the path to no avail
But you need very little skill speed because of shifu
Depending what filler loop you do/want
thx a lot I'm buying shire gear in preperation for my WHM hitting 80
Then it doesn't matter
Then just buy it all and dont worry
Just buy striking stuff
Stats matter only at 80
Shire pankratists stuff iirc
Oh well t-t
Oh definitely, I have at WAR at 58 but figured if I caught the other classes/jobs up as I progress from ARR to SHB I could just alternate Jobs to take advantage of the exp gains. Thanks for the explanation on Potd!
So I guess the ok thanks
Will there be VODs of the announcement coming Feb6?
Probably will
@south portal potd will be fine until lv60/61 after that itll have diminished returns. Heaven on high will be the 61 to 70 equivalent
yeah definitely vods
Ah I see, I will look into that then! Didn't realize there was a 2nd type of that dungeon
!faq gearguide
ahh ty
Tldr: short version: buy Exarchic HQ
Long version: do eden raids and nier raids whenever you get the ilvl for them
Are Elite Clan Marks solo content? I assume not
Buy i490 gear with allegory
Everything from the hunt board is soloable
The Non solo hunt mobs, A and S ranks dont have bills
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.
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
are mandatory
unlocks SOMETHING
are lore and giggles
Okay So... gathering my first collectable since the change... how do I gather the collectable?
The character menu is on bottom right in keyboard mode, but where is it in virtual menu mode?
where is said button?
*virtual mouse
becuase collectability is capped atm
its not interactive
Inventory full?
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
I mean, thats "a" way. Its not the "best" way, not by a longshot
But its functional
Any version of a proposed best way that doesnt involve being a crafter yourself is likely to be wrong
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
How do I get glamour plates?
I have glamour prisms but am a bit confused over the plates-
I'd go for a YouTube guide
Glamor Plate are generated from saving a set at your glamor dresser in any inn room, inserting gear into the dresser consumes a prism
Most YT guides on gil are BS tbh
once inserted the gear can be used on any set at no additional costs
Make them at glamour dressers in inn rooms. Costs a prism to put items in
Ok, my mistake.
Ohhh okay. So I don't need an actual like, plate item.
Here I thought I had to buy glamour plates off the market hahahah
You need to have at least one class at level 50, then speak to the Zealous Yellowjacket with the

You also need to have completed the level 50 MSQ "The Ultimate Weapon"
ngl only reason im getting it is because being a healer is more of a pain than i thought it would be and after seeing what i can do i was like put the book away and grab the cane lol
BLU is a limited job, and cannot be used in regular content.
wym limited?
Dude I've watched so many shit gil guides. It's amazing how they can't make a concise planned video on what to do
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?
But if you want something away from healer, you’ll want arcanist, Thaumaturge, or Red Mage
cant get red mage and i started out as a arcanist

No, you can group with other people and do instances in premade groups, you just can't do like, roulettes or solo queue for synced content with them.
And yes, you can group with friends to do open world content as well.
oh lol i dont do stuff like that half the time. infact i am not a fan of doing ques and syncs and stuff like that. i much rather explore the world with friends
the only time i do them is if theres something important.
Like... the MSQ? Please tell me you've at least been doing that...
of course
though i admit ive been skipping the story scenes so i can make the story move faster

hey look when ur on one character and like to explore the world more than the story its like i had to choose one
Why?
when i do buy the game to get off trial though ill make a new character and then focus on story with that one
But why would you have to choose?
the lore seems so interesting and im willing to sacrifice the time to do it a second time
Please don’t do that either. That’s just a waste of time
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Yeah, I agree entirely regarding many. There are some ok ones, although I haven't checked any concerning gil since it's irrelevant until endgame.
quick question about leveling up a different class
currently lvl 20 marauder but i also want unlock the ninja class later
should i level up marauder and finish up the tutorial stuff first?
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
@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.
Roarich sells them
Yes, Roarich in the steps of nald
he's near the mail moogle/adventurer's guild
Edit: apparently this is wrong..
"You'll need to level up your first job and the story first. I think it's character and story level 30 you need to reach to unlock the job-quest that leads to the job-stone that lets you switch jobs."
@pure bough thanks for the info
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).
In Hades, if a tank dies to a meteor in nabriales phase, can a dps or healer quickly stand in and take one for the team? Does it prevent a wipe?
You will get wipe
I've misunderstood how the job-stone thing work then. The ingame info may have confused me
Is the frontline daily challenge worth doing?
Yes
its fairly decent exp, yeah
For the exp
plus you can change jobs when you get into the match
Ok, I'll start running it. I usually avoid that lol.
Pvp scares me lmao
Is fine
so if you're not entirely comfortable playing that particular job in pvp, can switch so something you like more
Nice.
The bad thing of pvp is that you have a different sets of skills
Yeah, I tried it once a few weeks ago when I first started and was sad to see that I couldn't use my EOS pet.
What do I do with Yellow scrips after I've acquired the equipment and the books?
If crafter, buy mats to sell on the MB. If gatherer, same thing or buy cordials for yourself.
Aah
Can also buy gear for your retainers too if leveling them as gatherers and you didn't keep your old gear for them.
yes
Can they gather the ishgard restoration stuff?
Ah
And you need to gather it yourself at least once for then to get it
Right
what does the word prog mean?
i see it used in lots of guides and i have no idea what it means
progression
Progression, such as pushing current tier savage difficulty content
learning raids
as opposed to farm, so knowing what to do and executing all mechanics correctly on (preferably) first attempt during weeklies
why do people run antitower so much
i seem to roulette into antitower much more than other 50/60/70 dungeons
ELI5? My brain is fizzling trying to comprehend the words you're giving me
i don't know why
it's fast and i think you need it (or any level 60 dungeons synced?) for one of the bozja relic steps
yeah its the fastest dungeon for last relic step
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
ok, i think i understand
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
in one pull
or until the dungeon physically stops them (i.e with a wall)
as far as the dungeon allows you to go
so in shisui it is actually all the mobs between 1st and 2nd boss
i thiiink so?
yes
if all the doors open without having to kill earlier trash

i'm seeing some posts about ishgardian restoration completion. will it end, after all? so we won't be able to level crafters with it anymore?
They're talking about the visual changes and the fates in the firmament
oh nice
@silent yacht post your question here. No need to ask for permission 🙂
What is this and why are they killing everything before I can touch it
Bots
what kind of style is easier? tank, dps, or healer?
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
Ok, there are more: ranged dps, melee dps
choose how, the easiest? machinist probably, but can't be started with
RDM is pretty simple as well
for melee easiest would be maybe SAM or DRG
no ok, I was asking about easier to play
out of the starting class easiest DPS I'd say is Lancer(dragoon later)
Ok, great
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.
but would not dancer be a job?
from SHB?
Yes.
ok, did not read ''however......'', just the ''easiest class'
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.
all classes start easy and get more difficult
awesome
lancer certainly has one of the simplest rotations in the game
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
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
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
Yeah, but DRG gets harder between the point where you get Blood of the Dragon and the point where you get Wheeling Thrust.
what is a rotation change?
obviously for leveling and stuff it kinda doesn't matter all that much
Because you have to use Blood of the Dragon with the right timing since there's no way to maintain it.
well your low lvl rotation is one way, then after you get certain skills, it changes
I mean you basically ignore blood of the dragon until you get wheeling thrust
black mage rotation evolves a few times as you level
level rotation, level up you mean? ok nope
rotation at low lvl
your rotation is the order you press your buttons
If you look at that Black Mage rotation guide, you'll see it changes multiple times between level 1 and level 80 as you get various new abilities and spells.
yes ok
what's the name of the dungeon where in the last boss fight you have to (as a tank) push the bombs off to the side
brayflox hard IIRC
Are you talking about Brayflox HM?
oh yeh
how
By attacking them?
just hit them
Just hit yhem
They only need a tap
is ti possible to play in differnt data centre? or Do I have to create a new character for another data centre (do I need to upgrade my subscription plan to do that)?
how do you prevent from getting frozen by scylla
Avoid the ice ball
you can transfer a character to a different data center, but it's a paid system(with real money), you can make a char on another datacenter at any time for free though
You do need to create a new character or transfer your existing one if you want to play on a different datacenter, however the Standard sub allows you to have 8 characters with 1 per server.
If you're tethered to one, you can drag it into other people to freeze them otherwise you'll have to get frozen
fire orb will also remove frozen, but very few people bother doing it properly anymore
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.
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?
Yes
Sorry if I am kinda dumb X)
how about entry sub then?
8 characters max, 1 per world
I see
So I have to upgrade my sub inorder to play in different DC then. Is my understanding correct?
thxs
You dony
Thx @faint flare
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?
The only reason you need to upgrade sub if you want more thab 8 characters or characters on the same world
No for some dumb reason
There is for shire/scaevan
But not ironworks
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
I think you can from drake at north shroud
Have you tried that ?
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
has it been 7 weeks since the blades of lost antiquity became available?

lol stupid question - where do I turn venture promissary notes into ventures? I don't see an option when talking to my retainers <?>
Calamity salvager I think
Does it make sense to buy the complete edition or just shadowbringers?
depends on what you have
if you have nothing you NEED the complete(which is both starter+shadow)
thanks @strange coral
they're not the same thing
"Just Shadowbringers" is not the same thing. You need the base game too
so gotta buy starter edition
You literally cant use the Shadowbringers code if you dont OWN Arr and heavensward
and shadowbringers
Or complete edition
yes or complete, which is both in one pack
but free trial includes heavensward
they should be the same price
But you DONT OWN IT
How long does it take to get the referral gold chocobo feathers ._.
trial is trial
You dont own the license to them
Having the trial doesn't count as owning the starter
alright understood
You cant use dlc for a game you dont own..dlcs don't work on demos
referal was instant iirc, try relogging/checking mail, but there could be delays depending on their servers and stuff
usually 24h max
If they pay for enough subscription, then yes
You still need them to pay for subscription for you to get feathers
you get 5 for people using the code, and 5 more when they subscribe for 150/210/270 days so yes
So I should get 10
you should be able to buy the draught once you receive your initial feathers
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?
Since I recruited 2 peeps
mh
You do
But you get double EXP for your lower classes
And you don't need to do MSQ
You wont need to do MSq again
you don't do the MSQ again if you change class
If its the same character
And only the base classes start at lv1
Expansion jobs start higher
Expansion jobs start 20 levels under the expansion's level cap
!faq altlvlguide
HW jobs start at 30
how can I download the client besides the free trial?
you login the launcher
I mean I go to ff14 site and only see try free trial
how similar is this game compared to FF XI?
Damn glad I saw this, yep it does work. Do you know if that has always been there since they made augmented the default or is it new?
Basically not at all
Completely different and you should forget everything about 11
ahahahah ok
i played 11 a lot as a teen
Is it still super dependent on parties to level? Are there any soloing classes?
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
Which all jobs can do
i've only done the ShB tribes so think you can skip ya
You can do beast tribes in any order
perfect thanks
Some beast tribes need a small series of side quests done to unlock
But they’re completely separate from each other
some need a long series too
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?
If they dont live up to the written agreement then its a reportable scam
when I click the link this only offers me unistalling?
Because you already have it installed. You have the trial, right?
And how'd I report it, if that happens? I can only see an option to report RMT, Harassment, Cheating and Bugs.
I would probably do it under Harassment probably and make it fully clear about the Scam, with timestamps of the conversation
Thanks
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
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
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.
there are a few in each new zone since HW, if you interact with all of them and do all the blue sidequests in that zone, and some MSQ, you unlock flying in that zone
Use the aether compass given to use in key items to find them > interact with currents > when yoy get all in the zone (both quests and in the field), you can fly
Travel > Aether currents to see how many you're missing
yeah best to do while you do your msq or it will be painfull to do it later
Is there a mount speed guide
Is there anyone here who plays FFXIV on the PS4
Like how to get them all
Yes
I do
I play on the ps5
Many play on console
Does that count
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
Yes
Yes
I use controller and I like it
also can use keyboard and mouse on ps4
Yes
I've heard they're really good in FFXIV
Extremely good
What hotkeys can you use in PC ? I've only mapped actions and macros in my controller
Probably one of the better controller support
Many options to do with controllers
The game is designed to be played with controller
First rank for all but SHB: Story
SHB: bought with bicolor gems after completing 10 fates in that zone
2nd rank: buy with Allied Seals/Centurio Seals at your grand company/Ishgard/Rhalgr’s Reach
I heard someone say ivalice used to have a hairstyle drop?
Do note that the speed boost ranks don’t boost flying speed, which is already at rank 2
Ty
Fly speed good
Yes. Complete the Ivalice quest line and you can buy it from the Gold Saucer for 30k or 50k MGP
It’s called the Lexentails
Went from 1-60 Botanist in 6hrs is that good or slow?
should i be clearing all adds in a dungeon for xp or is the bonus the biggest part
Side rooms aren't that much
so just speed run to the end?
Yes
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
You can never be 100% sure but you're fairly safe
Since gatherers would not be able to earn money if they hoard
You probably won’t be booted from top 100
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?
either bad graphics drivers or your gpu is dying or your computer is dying
aight sweet, ty
your refresh rate is probably off
your browser is skipping every other frame of displaying itself to match your game's FPS
If you're in the 80-90 range it would be a bit scarier

first suggestion is to turn off HDR if you have that on, and limit FPS output
im on spriggan also, people don't try too hard here lmao
- 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)
If you're still scared elsponge check patch 5.2 and 5.3 rankings and see how u compare there
limit your fps to 60 and see that
With the exception of the SMN-artifact sets, they share gear with BLM right?
oh, the easiest question... are you using DVI or HDMI cables to connect your monitor to your GPU?
oh im much higher, but so are most people, my fc leader got 90th with 3k points
Yes
actually that said most people at the bottom are only about 5k
I use displayport instead of hdmi since today
I use my only hdmi port from my GPU to connect it to my tv
Yeah if you werent using displayport that flickering happens
f*
since only that cable goes past 60 fps
I mean I used to use hdmi at 144hz and flickering wasnt here
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
What is a preferred world
The non-DP monitor forces itself to match the DP one, which it cant, and fails to display 144hz. Or something like that
Bonus xp world
I was... hdmi is capable of 144hz at 1080p, I had the 144hz option in nvidia control pannel, and I switched sometimes from 60 to 144 and big difference
Oh
100% xp gain on everything
what do you mean ?
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?
It shouldnt be possible to use HDMI and get 144hz so idk
How do I see the preferred worlds for Aether/Primal/Crystal and is there any difference between the three datacenters
Dancer is fine
Thanks
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
Server status page on lodestone
use the !preferred <datacenter_name> command in #kupo-bot-spam @dire prawn
!faq worldstatus
for all of them in one place
Why does Crystal have so many 
lower active population during a story content drought
HDR off ? I dont see that setting in my game
its a monitor setting usually
what does that mean
my monitor isnt hdr so I guess I dont have that
stereotypical perpetuation
or Windows HDR in HD Color Settings
people always say "haha crystal bad only RP"
and that deters new players from joining if their purpose is to raid
oh
Well I think I'm gonna go to Midgardsormr for the xp boost then
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,
