but im in a wierd spot where if i deviate from the MSQ to do those dungeons, im not making myself any stronger and adds to the time it takes to get to actual endgame(even though im not really in a rush)
enjoy the game at your pace. only weird spot is the one you create for yourself
im still doing them though because i love dungeons but i noticed the gear drops arent improvements to some of my items
at lvl 50 the best gear is the Ironworks
you won't get better gear till you get to HW
yeah ive got ironworks chest and helm atm
anything else i have is from the quests so some 90s and a couple 110s
!faq gearguide
yea, because of how gearing works, once you hit each level cap (50, 60, 70) you can get the best gear available for that level instantly via poetics. so all the gear from the content is essentially useless
except for glamours
^^^^ too true, gotta look good to play good
i was getting glamour stones by the handful at the start so i thought i had the freedom to just transmog like hell
IIRc, some of my favorite gear is from the lvl 50 dungeons
now i dont have any and i cant buy them
buy them with Grand company seals
are you using the glamour plates?
(you can also craft them fairly easily if you're low on GC seals)
that is an...odd request
do you have any pictures/screenshot
I've been hearing that sound too many times when i'm afk but never had the opportunity to see chich mount is
yeah we can ID mounts by sight not by sound
Behemoth maybe?
How do you know it's a mount if you've never seen it?
I hear the whistle sound when it shows up
pld tank mount? coeurl? not sure tbh
iirc the coeurl is the dark knight mount?
so when taking lead as tank in Castrum and Prae (and I guess other dungeons when I get there), what's the best way to draw aggro and keep moving? The shield toss (PLD right now) or something like provoke? Alot of the time I don't see them doing anything but running by them
there's the beast tribe one i thought also
ah. right.
basically use your AoE ability as you run thru mobs
^ facepull packs, use aoe once or twice, move on
facepull meaning?
run right into them with your face
dont use shield lob
shield lob is great for single/double target but loses value when there's 3+, better to just sprint ahead of everyone and aoe once/twice, keep running
oh, so literally just run right into them? lol
yep
that way they’re all bunched together for you to aoe, yeah
if you shield lob on a big pack you end up drawing one further away from the group
is there any worry of getting too far ahead of the enemy or shoudl they chase wall to wall?
if you shield lob and a healer regens you per se...other enemies that weren't lobbed but pulled will go right to the healer
they will always chase
except copperbell mines
Does anyone know how to get this hairstyle?
hyur midlander racial hair
You have to be a Hyur?
so if you want it, you have to be female hyur midlander
Aw 😦
I always tend to fall back as the second tank when there's an 8 man party cause I'm worried I'll somehow lose aggro
the only one you'll lose aggro to is the other tank with tank stance on
also cause I'm still learning these dungeons
One of them was fat cat
how much skill speed should i have before moving onto some other stat as a tank?
so if you see the other tank with stance on, just turn yours off until its necessary/if it's necessary
But there is another one that has a similar sound
joey arent you in ARR? you cant worry about that stuff til 80 lol
im always prioritizing skill speed when picking quest rewards so was just makin sure lol
there's usually 1-3 BiS lists around a couple different SkS tiers, usually people pick whichever is most comfortable to their ping. Most SkS for tanks comes from their gear, supplemented by materia/food if necessary
if you’re not at lvl 80 it doesn’t matter
Prioritize item level until 80
why?
there’s not much point trying to optimise at low level
quest rewards are strength/vitality iirc for tanks?
bc arr accessories are “all classes”
yeah some str vitality stuff have crit or some have tenacity, etc.
ive just been picking all tenacity
Does anybody know someone who has the game through square but doesnt have the DLC yet, yall can give them this code. RS4U 78AH 8M2C Z6Z9 XZKD. I accidentally bought a second copy and have no idea what to do with it and id rather give it for free than have it go to waste
uhhh
welp someone in the discord is gonna snipe that
thats the hope
Yeah, it is getting sniped
lol your goal will be 150% successful
probably within seconds
may good karma swing back your way, friend!

good fortunes for the person who gets ShB for free
and curse my luck for it being specifically just ShB
then again, sub
if i am doing the trial from downloading the game from steam, do i have to buy the complete version from steam also to keep my character?
yes
hey guys, so I'm a lvl 64 paladin, but im lvl 50 in the main story quest so Im still on the base game, what recommended gear should I go for atm? I have all the poetic gears that I got from mor Dhona
but so many dungeons and raids to do 😮 lowkey ocd got me finishing it all up lol
doing the mainline quests will unlock the higher level dungeons
Ironworks?
they already got the ironworks
ironworks is good enough until lvl 55/6-ish dungeon. if you are still in lvl 50 MSQ
if you're already in ironworks, there's no reason to bother with anything else since you dont need better gear
since you're still working on 50 msq
theres not much point upgrading to 60+ armor since there isnt content you need better gear for
a Quetsion: how many fates i need to do to get the 18 Vexatious Memories of the Dying and the 18 Haunting Memories of the Dying.. i done around 50 and dropped only 1 UFF
ah okay that makes sense, thank you guys. I guess I'll just do the MSQ then 🙂
feels like droprate -1000%
drop rate from the fates is pretty low
so doing the alliance raids are going to be faster
how long a alliraid needs atm?
Which alliance raids?
is the PotD Artefact drop 100% after 10 levels?
No
the 60. and 70. alliance raids
Which one is the fastest to complete?
idk
Void Ark is what I've heard for the HW raids. Dunno about the SB raids
void ark for hw, rabanstre for sb
Delubrum Reginae drops 100% the artifacts?
Well... I should be getting relicts right now
heyq uestion kinda an emergency
shoot
but a friend of mine tryna do something in the FC, but accidentally promoted someone else to leader whom been gone for more than 120days
is there a way we can undo this change?
try sending a support ticket
where can support ticket be found
bottom right> System > Contact Us
hmm nothing there
sorry its System > Support Desk > Contact us
ooh okay
Btw if i already finished the quest to get the evolved relict for one job, can i skip the previous relicts quests so i can get the evolved relict for another job?
we only see report harassment, cheating, bug, or suggestion
no actual in game ticket
use this instead
yea, the 3 categories dont really fit
if you press Ask Question in the bottom right
you can send a support ticket that doesnt fall under the 3 categories
It will take on average 3~6 days but thats pre-covid
so it might take awhile
I'm 80 and bought 510 gear, besides the armor i buy with Revelation tombs the 520 armor , what will be the next upgrades is that savage armor?
!faq gearguide
yea, its just tome and upgraded tome gear
thank you!! @whole wasp
no, you gotta do it all over
I am using this guide to learn how to breed chocobos for racing:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6etbvz/chocobo_breeding_guide/
But my starting chocobo has parents with all stats at two stars. And when I buy a chocobo ticket, it also has all the 2-star stats. So when you retire it and go to breeding them. Won't parents always have two stars in all stats?
so what happens when I hit level 60 on the free trial? am I locked out or do I just stop receiving exp and such (haven't even gotten into HW content)
You stop receiving xp on level 60 jobs
You can keep doing everything within the scope of Heavensward
For PotD, can you go with a fixed party from floor 51-200? Or does it have to be from floor 1
Alright thanks!
Does anyone that plays on controller know how to remove whatever the function of the left analog button press is?
it's some sort of lock on target and anytime I accidentally hit it, I die x~x
Soo what happens to be the fastest 60 and 70 raids for relic
void ark and rabanastre
Ty ty
@shadow yacht under character config > target probably
untick the enable target lock on

also that wasn't it
basically what happens is if I'm targeting someone and hit L3(left analog) it pulls up sort of crosshairs?
and locks my camera to them
System config > gamepad > button configuration
And then from there I think you can remap L3 to something else
(just guessing from a video I'm looking at as I don't play with a controller)
Yep
I recommend having one of the stick buttons be a macro that uses sprint
To save an action slot for every job
R3 is my sprint, L3 I used a macro to draw my weapon without that awful auto target and lower my visor
...and then I learned L1+R1 also draws weapon

I don't mind taking up a slot for sprint, cause at least I know what it is
where it is*
but if I could swap it out for like l1+r1 instead
cause there's no way I'm gonna accidentally press l1+r2
or I could just unassign it tbh, kinda wasteful but I'll figure out what to do with it later
whew ok im at my wits end here, i cant find this last location for the life of me, ive googled and havent found any answers, does anyone have the map for this or can at least offer a hint of some kind orz
What exactly are you looking for?
the undiscovered area i assume
gamerescape just says "loch seld" which is where they are
that 'undiscovered' location. everywhere i look, im only seeing the locations of 3 of the spearfishing sites.
It might be normal surface fishing at one of the ponds
you can spearfish on land?
I mean regular old fishing
i have all the regular fishing locations, though, and theyre separated by the tab at the top.
Lemme teleport there and take a look
Yea, I fished at one of the larger ponds and it shows up as just Loch Seld
last one you're missing is most likely Loch Seld Deep Lakebed
Oh I'm dumb
I've seen the name of that but no exact coordinates
I get what you mean now by the tabs
X:22.5 Y:24.8 is what teamcraft is giving me
Just updated to a full license. What are the major things I can do now that I couldn't do before?
join a free company, hire retainers, sell on the marketboard
free companies being player groups?
Player-run guilds, yes
is dragoon any good?
But also create parties, use party finder
Ok, so I just unlocked Castrum and want to do the rest of the relic steps, how do I look for a Castrum group?
All jobs are good
alright, ty
The most important thing is finding what you like
Hey does anyone know exactly how tall the ancient ones are?
@stuck kayak #resources has discordds that organize castrum runs
So i went to those coordinates, but every spawn there is from the locations i already have...
if i decide to switch jobs part way through the msq how hard is it to catch that job up to the right level?
depends what job you switched to and when
you can switch to red mage/samurai at the start of HW or dancer/gunbreaker at the start of SB and be fine
because those jobs start at 50 and 60
sorry i went it as in from 1 base class to another so like if my current class is lvl 30 and i switch to somethign else that starts at 1
Is it worth getting crafted gear now or waiting for 5.5? (Returning to game after taking break at 5.2)
just random numbners but you get what i mean
getting to lvl 30 isnt hard
probably takes like 1-2 hours max
if you mean from 1 to 80 obv it will be harder
ya i get that. is the best way to catch up just doing the hunts i think they are called? or go back to older zones and try to find quests for the appropriate level?
for below 15 its hunt logs, challenge log and fates, for 15+ its roulettes, beast tribes, spamming highest lvl dungeon, etc
!faq altlvlguide
Hey whats up I just bought the game anything I should know ? I’ve played mmorpgs before
!faq newplayertips
ah ok didnt know about that guide i will definitely look into that since i have already leveled a bit a while ago and would want to pick back up but not sure if i am gonna stick with my current job
what are good starting lvl 80 sets for a PLD and WHM to do treasure map dungeons?
fresh characters
gear sets?
yes
hey are scholars considered barrier healers or healers?
like anything 480+ really
thanks
scholars are healers with shields
ahh how about scholars and whm? sorry
scholars lean more towards shielding and whm have regens
ahh thank you!
what is the easiest melee dps job for new players to play?
Also there is no way for me to see how a class plays at higher levels without leveling them myself right? like how WoW has class trials. Sometimes watching vids of the class doesnt really give you the full feeling of the class without playing it first hand
ya thats what i thought. TY for all the info
how long would it take to grind tomestones for the crystarium set? or is there another 480+ set that's faster / cheaper?
not super long if you do the roulettes/hunt trains
you can just buy neo ish gear if its cheap
or run puppet bunker
Don't worry too much about getting the full set
You want just enough as stepping stone to do E9N-E12N
theyre doing treasure maps
^
can I play with my accounton the steam version?
pc
No
okok
Wait
Trial version or Starter Edition?
Standalone trial can hop over to Steam Starter Edition
Otherwise, no. Standalone and Steam cannot interchange
I figured it out. You have to trigger swimming shadows there and that node will count as Deep Lakebed
Ohh, so i have to actually do something for it. alright
Yea, catching 7 mercenary crab from the central area spawned it for me
thank you so much. ive been trying to figure this out for like 2 hours

yep.
however, you can buy one time use breeding tickets for MGP from the racing chocobo trainer(?) in the gold saucer
those have random stats

Crit > DH ≥ Det @potent shale
Is there somewhere I can get a link to the FFXIV free trial launcher without having to create another SE account in order to do it via SE's website
Ohhh ok
!faq freetrial
Are the hotbars supposed to get messed up when you switch jobs? I switched from PLD and knew I'd have to rearrange my hotbars for GNB, but when I switched back to PLD to see my layout, they were all fucked up
did you equip the job stone
If you didn't equip the stone, then you switched to GLD, not PLD
Awesome, thanks you
save the job stone to the gear set
Hey soo I just returned after a couple months. Did something change or why am I missing so many attacks on dummy?
what level is the dummy and what level are you
are you attacking a dummy that is higher than your level?
that would be why
Just about to start Shadowbringers hoping I can finish it before new xpack
you definitely will
Hope so. I don't want this to sound wrong since I love the game but so far the story drags sooo slowly xD
I'm somewhere by the end of stormblood and I definitely enjoyed Heavensward more.
most people did
Intelligence, Crit, Direct Hit, Vitality, everything else
@remote lintel well what would be 4th on the list?
@twilit arch wait why Determination? I thought they don't scale off of that?
everyone scales with det
Everything uses Det in some capacity.
its a straight dmg/healing boost
det affects both physical and magical
so how do you get the focus target bar?
Thanks.
shift+f is default keybind to set target
or right click > focus target
is dancer considered good? like I just picked up the class and the DPS seems kinda on the low side. am i crazy?
Hello, anyone know whats the problem and how to fix it?
well i know that but am I crazy in regards to the lower damage. feels just, random?
like the constant 50/50s seems rough
I see that the partner gets a 5% dmg buff which is always nice
and you buff the entire party with your dances iirc
do you? as far as i know the only party wide buff is Shield Samba which is just a 10% dmg reduction
!action technical finish
Delivers an attack to all nearby enemies. Potency varies with number of successful steps, dealing full potency for the first enemy, and 75% less for all remaining enemies.
0 steps: 500
1 step: 750
2 steps: 1,000
3 steps: 1,250
4 steps: 1,500 Step Bonus: Grants Technical Finish and Esprit to self and party members Damage bonus of Technical Finish varies with number of successful steps.
1 step: 1%
2 steps: 2%
3 steps: 3%
4 steps: 5%
Duration: 20s
Additional Effect: Activates the Esprit Gauge
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, and finish actions upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, or finish actions.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
there it is, just read that one
"party members"
so it seems like Technical Finish is always the best option. the game makes it seem like you can mess up your steps but from what i can tell its easy to get all the steps in
okay i see now. interesting class.
which is significant inside tech windows
Honestly the rotations seem pretty simple. Class is weird for sure.
But sometimes you just gotta dance
can I remove my chocobo from stable if I'm waiting for its color to change?
ok ty
What's the difference between a crit hit and a direct hit
And can attacks both crit and get a direct hit at the same time
crit is a variable increase to attack or healing (depending on crit stat/level). direct hit is a flat 20% increase for damage only. yes you can have both applied to attacks (but not healing actions which are crit only)
(the fly over text will have 2 exclaim marks for a direct crit)
Hi guys, new here. I'm sure you get this question a lot, but how much effort does it take get through the early game? Gonna play the free trial soon.
It doesn't
arr tends to handhold to a fault. it's mostly time to go through msq with the current reduction of filler quests post 5.3
that and dealing with the lack of skills in arr classes/jobs (especially before can aoe things)
Yeah I heard arr can be very slow
ARR is definitely the slowest MSQ line from what everyone says
Because there's also a shit-ton of MSQ between the last ARR quest and the first HW quest
i will say that ARR sets up like literally everything that happens later on
That's good to hear
Plus for most of the ARR MSQ unless you're on a preferred server you're going to hideously outlevel it up until you hit the Lv 40+ portion and start getting closer to the end
If you're on a preferred server MSQ will never catch up to you
Oh ok
For me as an example, using no food items for exp bonuses and only using the Brand-new Ring from 15 to 30 after I did my Hall of the Novice quests, the MSQ didn't catch me in levels until I got to 48
the exp boost is mostly for leveling multiple classes
I don't have multiple classes >_>
i bet
When I finish ARR and have to endure post-ARR I'll start leveling another class
Another thing I was curious about was the payment options for the game. If I'm correct, I need to pay monthly as well as pay $40+ for each expansion?
Nope just buy ShB and pay monthly
current expansion always includes prior expansions
well singular (stormblood) since heavensward is in starter/trial
Yeah
guys, i want to finish spiritbonding my wyrm's gear iLvl90. any dungeon you can recommend for me to go? i got 10% left to sb before i want to equip ironworks gear.
the entire game is 60$ which gives you 30 free days, then you need to sub
ah, that's good to hear
There's also 60 Day Time Cards which (from my experience) go on sale often enough for under $30
(it's on sale right now in se store if i remember tweet right for complete edition)
yes its on sale
4800exp for fillers arc pre-hw lmao i feel that
!faq subprice
the sub prices if you were wondering
the arr part (complete or starter) is what gives 30 days free. expansion doesn't give free play time
Wait
right
So if you’re on PC you can just buy the game while it’s on sale and wait to use the code until you’re done with the FT
send help pls
Is complete edition on slae right now?
yes
im getting complete edition before sale ends on 15th
But if you’re playing on PS editions I wouldn’t purchase it until you’re done with the FT because it activates it immediately
Where's it on sale
so prolly im buying it around 12-14th feb
SE store?
yes
yes

Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world.The complete edition is perfect for newcomers as it includes the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs – all in one complete package!
gonna milk my freetrial as much as i can
Is it also on sale on PS4 
apparently yes
Yup. ShB is $20 too
damn
until 18 i think
Hello.
So I can buy both the PS4 edition and PC edition for the same price as picking up the complete edition off-sale on one platform
Does the buff for percentages scale? for example if it says Max 12. does that mean percent or stacks 12 times
whats more faster for timeworn relics, queen or spamming 51-60 potd?
Snowcloak will probably do best
@dire prawn if the complete edition is 30$ on ps4 then yes
you can only buy either one
no
they dont share platform
you can have a ps4 license and pc license
if mean like crafting food it's a percent of the stat, up to a maximum benefit
ill try that one thankss
Yeah but I can still buy both and then play on either one
Yeah
yeahh but the account will be separate and not data is not shared if that wht you mean.
no it is shared
Okay, so max 12 percent.
licsenses dont share on platform?
yes they do
the only platform that requires separate accounts is steam and windows
because steam has a different license
wht i mean is. if he buy ps4 version he cant play on pc with that license
He can though
ps4 account can play on pc as well?
Yes
he will be able to log onto his character from ps4 or pc
wow never thought on that
I did exactly that, going from ps4 to PC
it says so on mog station
so only pc and steam that separates
yes
its funny tho and weird tbh
blame steam
but convenient for ps4 user
lmao right i was gonna go steam then my friends all tell me to stay back for steam ver
Question does one know how to obtain the hair called Early to Rise? I’m pretty sure I have to be level 80 but I’m not sure.
it drops from the new bozja dungeon
a very rare drop
or buy it on the mb for like 20 million gil
Yeah I seen that so expensive x.x
whats more faster for timeworn relics, queen or spamming 51-60 potd? ANSWER OR ILL PING EVERONE 
potd is probably less soul damaging since it's well known content (to burn through with randoms)
i asked whether its faster
I play on ps5 and have this weird thing on the middle top right of my screen is there a way to get rid of it?
sounds like your job gauge, can't remove it, can move/resize it/use a simplified version
How do I do that?
it's not useful at low lvl but at some point depending on class it'll display useful stuf
use the HUD layout option
hud setup, select element and drag it around (preferably also changing to simple mode)
for the last step of relic.. do you need to have the quest to get timeworm artifact for the 2nd++ relic or having 1 relic completed is enough?
supposedly after first 515 relic dont have to do second step again (so just labby and potd spam)
(I dont understand the question)
the item like drops for alliance instances or item like the upgraded relic?
How do I leave my starting area I am level 14 almost 15 and can’t get out of thanalan
do you need to accept the quest to get the item drop from the 24man raids? the last step
Keep on doing msq
yes quest needs to be active to get memories
Yes you need the quest active to get the drops
back to syrcus, painn thank you
after ive unlocked all the dungeons on hard difficulty, can i abandon the quest?
like its not easy being green, for example
theyre taking up space and im at gil cap
Is there a program where i can get mentored to improve my parse? mch and ast specifically
I do use those but anything else?
not really
Hello everyone I am brand new to this game and im looking for some help on installing a dps meter
besides looking up guides
@dusk sand dps doesnt really matter when youre new but if you really want to

I know Ive just played wow for years n i want to see some numbas
but thank you so much
is the aquapolis a thing in 2021
theres some gear i want from it but ive never touched it, wondering if i should just spring 80k for the item on the marketplace and move on
i dont think people really do HW maps anymore
But SHB is better bang for your buck
should i just pay ~80k for this
and move on with my life
or can i quickly get this item
You'll make it back by a few roulettes
yea
I know theres a partition/wall you can dye a certain shade of red to match the Eulmoran Inner Walls
But I don't remember the item/dye needed
Anyone here got any ideas?

Are there raids/trials you can do that aren't in the latest expansion?
every expansion has trials and raids
nice
how does fragment farming work in bozja? more specifically, what essence is used?
Tanks use Bloodsucker for the HP restoration so the healers can focus more on damage
Everyone else uses damage-based essences, so Skirmisher for DPS and Aetherweaver for healers
If you’re death farming the star-ranked monsters then you use the essence that boosts Death’s success rate
!action lost death
KOs target. The less the target's HP, the greater the chance of success.
Spirit of the Ordained Effect: Chance of success is increased
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
Which is Ordained
if i purchase the ps4 license directly in the sqex website, does it give me a code?
You can only get digital PS4 from the PlayStation Store IIRC
the one on the SE store look to be physical purchases, meaning you’ll need to wait for it to be delivered
oooooooooooh thanks
Please keep in mind though that if you purchase it from the PS store the game will activate it immediately, taking you off the FT and making you a sub
POTD or dungeons at level 30?
if you're a tank or healer go for the highest level dungeon that you can enter
so POTD for DPS?
pretty much
Before I buy the game; does it matter if I get it on steam or on it's own launcher?
Hi guys, im currently level 60 (doing post HW quest) and almost maxed out on my tomes of peotics. I was planning on saving em for lvl 70 armor when i get there.
May I know what is recommended I spend em on before i hit the limit?
I was a lvl 60 bard but decided to swap to a dancer which came with some lvl 60 armor.
do you already have the shire gear?
The only thing to keep in mind is that you have to get the licenses for the expansions from Steam. You cannot buy them from the Square Enix store
Nope, i am using the free lvl 60 armor that they gave you when you became a dancer.
Is it recommended to get the Shire gear for lvl 60 now then farm up peotics later and get the lvl 70 gear?
I see
So if the game goes on sale on the SE store and you buy it, it's worthless to you since it's not the Steam version
yeah it is much stronger
Did they revert the free trial changes back to 35? I am new and I read that it was expanded to include the base game and first expansion I think, but the free trial confirmation email (2 days old) says otherwise
Im not sure about steam but i just bought the game from the SE store ytd and it was 50% off
Thank you very much. I'll go ahead and get the Shire gear then 🙂
Also the game seems to go on sale less on Steam than the SE store
They didn’t revert the free trial. Guessing they forgot to update the email they use to tell about the trial
the only thing that i can think about steam is you can pay your sub using your steam wallet
A question about Ishgard Restoration, I'm currently leveling my crafting and gathering skills and I can't seem to find craftable ones for Goldsmithing, Blacksmith, Armory. Leatherworker and Culinarian? Are they not possible to level in this way?
All classes can use the restoration.
open your crafting log and click the pouch with a star icon on the left of the crafting log
scroll down and find the "ishgard restoration" tab
click on that
Yeah they're not there. Or wait
Do they need to be level 20? These ones are 18-19 for me still
yes
oh good to hear
btw regarding this, are ffxiv subscriptions subject to regional pricing like other steam games?
Steam
IIRC yes
it's based off na/eu/jp service account pricing i want to say (so forex related)
Is this channel only about #questions-and-help with FF14?
Yes mostly
so no way around paying the full $15? weak dollar in my country so I was hoping it'd be regionally priced
What other help would you want from this server @raven berry
Subscription would have relative currency conversion pricing
I need someone fluent in japanese to help me with translating some "lore" in FF8
But I won't bother you then ^^
Housing question, can you prevent FC members from changing or removing wall designs, fishes in aquariums, paintings, etc. in an FC house?
meaning it isn't regionally priced, but would just convert the price to whatever currency I prefer
The price is pretty much set to that regions pricing but you'd pay a currency converted equivalent
I'll try in off-topic or video-games
@shy lark you can set decorations permissions in the fc menus
yeah so the pricing doesn't change is what I am trying to understand, it's always a fixed $15 or an equivalent to $15 in other currencies
It can sometimes be cheaper relatively for some countries
I remember people using Brazil and maybe Russia a long time ago for cheaper subscription
How do I get to Eureka again?
Ah yes, but those things I mentioned are technically not "decorating", they're more like being able to use interactive objects like lamps
and I'm not sure there's a way to disable that
I read they changed this in ffxiv but what I read singled out Brazil and Russia
they made Brazil and Russia pay as much as everyone else because people abused the system
the quest starts at rhalgr's reach
but I am not from either countries
I already did it, I just forgot how to enter the instance.
so I am not sure if I get regional pricing or if I pay the full amount
pier in kugane
don't know where though
kk ty
Your regional pricing will likely convert into the equivalent of 15 dollars
Afaik those still count as furnishings and you can limit permissions that say they can alter it
damn, that's sad
would have been so convenient if they'd price it differently for countries with a very weak dollar
subs don't go below $12 (180 days), right?
!faq subprice
12.99 is as low as it gets
alright, thanks everyone
Do I even wanna know?
It was in this persons search comment
Oh nvm they told me

What is that
So, for the Anima weapons line, do I have to do all 4 in order? Or can I just skip to the iL210?
You need to complete each step in order for every weapon
o u guys know if 3.0 and newer content give lights for 2.0 relic?
Only ARR content (1-50) gives light for the Zodiac relic.
aw. syrscus spam it is i guess
Actually Tam-Tara normal is your best method for soloing
Unless you’re also doing the resistance relic at the same time
ye resistace too
so i can do syrcus with my strong weapon then i just equip the novus before exiting right?
can you not dye these?
I dont recall the overstuffed carbuncle being dyable
Yep you can use stronger weapons until the final boss
i have to kill xande with novus to get light?
yeah (I'm more used to anima light grind where basically need it on the whole instance because alex 9 savage isn't exactly the type of grind to weapon swap)
since boss kill is when game considers the instance complete
ah oko ok ty
hi im a pretty big fan of FF but ive never played any of the MMORPGS and i heard this game is pretty good is it worth trying? i dont really know anything about this game lol
ty Gilgamesh
!faq freetrial
The free trial is very generous and tbh its a great game. Devs specifically made it a final fantasy game first, mmo rpg second
oh wow this is interesting
once the free trial ends is the monthly payment a lot?
!faq subprice
ah i see 13 a month
so ive heard of the expansions
do those cost extra as well
or are those free updates
Entry allows you to have one character on a server (Which is basically everything you need) + you need to buy the expansion
They are separate purchases
The free trial/starting out now gives you up the the first expansion
And buying other current expansions is a single grouped purchase
Trial/Starter Edition = Base game (A Realm Reborn) + First Expansion (Heavensward)
Shadowbringers = second expansion (Stormblood) + third expansion (Shadowbringers)
Complete Edition = all of the above
ohhh okay im assuming the expansions are like more maps/items all that stuff
Level cap increases, new jobs, continuing the main stpry
do you have to pay monthly for the expansions
hi, does anyone know how do i get the BLU revive spell or where does it come from?
No expansions are one time purchases
Complete all 50-60 masked carnivale missions
would you guys consider this game to still be fun even if you dont have friends that play
i dont know anyone irl thats played this lmao
I've made plenty of friends through play
I’m not an extremely social person and I enjoy it a good amount.
And it was great fun solo up until I decided to actually purchase it
ah wow looks like this game has a huge community then lol
i remember hearing when ff14 had a lot of problems now it looks like its really good
That's mostly the 1.0
The original release was so bad both irl and in game it was burned to ashes and rebuilt from scratch
LOL damn
While the initial story for the base game is a lot of world building the first expansion is still one of the best ff stories I've played
ive seen some ppl say they miss certain aspects of 1.0
but thats like a really small complaint ive seen
for novus, i can just dump all cheap materia right?
Unless you're going for multiple relics
well thanks guys for the help i think i might give this game a shot
hopefully i dont get addicted lmfao
idk if MMORPGS are addicting to play this would be my first one lol
like 75 rank 1 materia is ok or does it require rank 234 too?
You have to use higher grades due to how it works
You can only put a certain amount of tier 1 materias of the same type on it
I think the highest you need is a couple grade 3 if you do 5 different stats
Wynne
I've moved over to PC from PS4 with complete edition
How do I make my skills hotbar for KB/M not look disgusting
I don’t know squat about good PC hotbar layouts, I only ever played with controller
If someone here doesn’t have good suggestions I suggest asking in #protips-and-ui
In order to complete the supply and provisioning missions do I requiere to go to my Grand Company in my city ? (Ult'ah) ? Or can I deliver anywhere ?
How do I get two flairs like this?
@dire prawn heres my whm layout for what its worth.

I'm only Lv 50 so I don't recognize half of those icons >_>
I might just go back to my controller and use my laptop keyboard to type in chat
yeah theres no issue playing with controller on PC
As someone who also just transitioned from ps4 to PC an MMO mouse is a godsend
I don't have a MMO mouse
Though yeah there's nothing wrong with continuing to play on controller
My mouse only has 6 buttons on the side ;_;
controllers is so nice for farming mindless easy content like current relic syrcus spam
again. you dont need mouse buttons to play on pc -.-
so how much meetle lost ifg i attempt the castrum?
its all preference based. play with what you're comfortable with
Yeah if you don't want to get one I don't blame you since you don't need it but if you were looking to play on kbm I would highly recommend purchasing one
For now I'll go back to controller
Hey guys so I just bought the game after having the free version and it says the region is unapplicable
can anyone give me a hand with this
i would like some help before its too late for me to refund it on steam and buy it elsewhere
germany
which region is your mogstation/ffxiv account
germany
needs to be eu and others
Entirely depends on how much you die
And your rank
then it should work normally if your steam account is german
it might be NA
im from america so
damn
ill probably have to refund it
and buy a different version of the game
ye ill do that
it's on sale in the eu squareenix store atm
i have a bozja question, does the banner of noble ends prevent all healing including lifesteal from essences?
whats the name of the new maps?
New maps?
map dungeons or w/e
Wynne
whats the name of the map
Zonureskin
Why in the fuck does FFXIV think I'm on a Xbox controller
ty
I don’t know anything about how PC handles controller inputs so I can’t help :/
is your controller plugged in, or are the buttons set to ABXY for controllers?
;-;
My controller's plugged in
My PS4 one
And it's displaying Xbox controller inputs
you can change what buttons appear
In order to complete the supply and provisioning missions do I requiere to go to my Grand Company in my city ? (Ult'ah) ? Or can I deliver anywhere ?
Also. The items that I have in my Chocobo can be used when crafting or do I have to remove from chocobo before?
Thanks a lot 🙂
Have to go to your grand company
@dire prawn
And you need to take the items out of the saddlebag
bruh
i collected some collectables (dol) where do i hand them in?
If you revealed the code then it’s usually not refundable :/
Oh
The scrip appraisers found at the various main cities and endgame hubs
I'm going to skin my settings alive
is there cheap way to get rank 1-3 materias?
wait where do i hand in this thing i've collected? its called pinch of active ingredients
Honestly the marketboard is your best bet.
@oak spindle the scrip people only take Rarefied collectables, you grabbed something that one of the Custom Delivery NPCs sometimes want
is there anyone know how to solve registration error code i250? my bro wanted to try the game but we have used 5 emails in total with little success.
General things that solve it is a better/stable/not-public internet connection, not using a VPN (though using it can sometimes help), and using other browsers or using mobile.```
Registering on PC, Mac, Steam or PS4?
There’s tons of potential solutions to error i2501, so it’s really something you have to search up yourself and try the many possible workarounds.
i use no vpn and im using lan cable. my connection should be great. havent try mobile method tho
(In the context of registering the game)
Try mobile method
yeah i might give it a try
Look up the standard solutions but your PC might just tell you to go fuck yourself like mine did
I eventually gave up on PC and registered with PS4
i lived in SEA. should it be aproblem if i pick english(na) when entering the site?
I want to know, is Palace of the Dead a guaranteed drop for the 3rd stage of the 5.45 relic?

which ilvl do i need for my lvl 80 retainer?
but it aint concrete since i created my account march 2020 with the same method. weird but ill give mobile method a try . thank you all good people .
Only from the floor 50 and 100 bosses, apparently.
gotcha
is there a robot bird minion
& Delubrum Reginae is guaranteed, I assume
Yep
thanks!
i think model magitek bit would be the closest thing
hmm looks nice but not what I was hoping for, thanks anyways that probably is this closest I'll get
Which three crafting skills should I specialize in and if possible, why?

whats the diff in bonus daily xp for the two msq finale dungeons?
castrum is around 40% of a level and praetorium is like 60%
Are there any guides for 5.45 Resistance Weapons attributes?
I don't know how much is the best.
In terms of being able to craft specialist-specific recipes, mainly goldsmith/blacksmith/armourer/alchemist.
It’s really easy to swap specialists, it only needs like 480 Yellow Crafter Scrips and you can swap 3 times a week
Would anyone on Aether be able to help me out? I want to trade a hairstyle to an alt of mine so I just need someone to give it to them
Shouldnt take long at all
I wouldn't trust random internet people. Do you have trusted FC or linkshell members?
I wish aha, and I mean its just a hairstyle - if someone wanted it that badly they could easily farm for it themselves lol
I'm on Sargatanas so I can do it for you real quick if you wanna hop on over
I'm AFK in Ul'dah's Steps of Nald somewhere around the guy that offers the SAM job quest
how do i close off my house to strangers?
When can one obtain mounts? Like a chocobo etc.
reach level 20
of the msq
Housing > Estate Settings I think.
@worthy basin I did, is there something else I need to do?
And there should be something for guest access which you can enable/disable.
You need to buy a chocobo pass from your grand company and give it to the chocobokeep
the quest is "my little chocobo" do you have it now?
grand company 😮
and yeah, you need to buy that using company seals
I have no idea what that is
buy it on your grand company
What's a grand company, I' m sorry for being dumb
I'm just following the main quest blindly and have little knowledge
maelstorm is on the aftcastle (limsa)
twin adder is near the aetheryte (gridania)
immortal flames is near the aetheryte (uldah)
Grand Companies, in-game are the three armies of the main city-states
you might be level 20 but not level 20 in msq
ok
Main scenario quests
OK, so probably Immortal flames then, I'll check it out, thanks!
You get a quick description of them in cutscenes with alphinaud and female alphinaud
female Alphinaud 
If its arr content
That's the best description
Hey, looking for someone to quickly trade a hairstyle to an alt of mine!
rather that spam here. try your data center specific channel
I'm literally waiting for you
Twice is spamming now is it?
You're a trial user, literally couldn't trade with you
Oh I wasn't in-game when you came by 
No I'm not?
Dude I just bought Complete Edition two hours ago and installed it
Trial users don't have access to Way of the Samurai
depends, what class are you doing?
GNB
For GNB, determination, critical hit & direct hit are recommended
Thank you!
Should I always go with meld priority when assigning stats to my relic?
How do I obtain company seals, i need some to get an "issuance" for my first chocobo mount
Finish the MSQ you're on to get 300 of them for free
Ty
Other than that as an Adventurer in Need (Healer) myself my leveling roulette gives me a stupid amount of seals
You can also get them by doing FATEs

Hey a few questions from a returning player:
-
Are there mouseover macros in this game?
-
I am level 58 and my current MSQ is the Lv. 56 Ill-weather Friends - I literally cannot remember the last time I played and don't know what's going on in the plot, what's the best means of catching myself up? Any videos people can recommend maybe?
- Pretty sure there are? Don't ask me for specifics. I'm shaky on their mere existance
- For videos. Ethys Asher on youtube does dedicated lore round-ups
but if you wanna go in yourself. There is a mode called New Game+
basically replaying the MSQ.
Mouseover macros as in, when I use a healing spell, if my mouse cursor is over an allied unit or their unitframe, it casts on them
yeah I know what you meant
They do exist but 1. GCD macros are very bad don't use them, abilities only, 2. you have to always mind where your cursor is or it goes off on a random target or even yourself
Hey when doing the SHB relic quests on my another job, do I have to repeat everything? 
gcd macros?
in wow mouseover macros can be constructed such that if there is no mouseover target it will default to your regular target etc is this not the case here?
i know it isnt wow, that's a little patronising lol
the global cooldown is literallt two and a half times longer remember
and macros let you do less overall
how would a mouseover macro cause you to do less than manual targeting
They can. Like
/ac "Ability" <mo>
/ac "Ability" <t>
/ac "Ability" <me>
But you have to mind animation lock. For example, if you press it at the tail end of your animation lock, it will try to execute the ability on your MO, fail, try to execute on your target, fail, and lastly tries to execute it on you. If that's when the animation lock or GCD ends, it'll cast it on you then.
i think i'll have to test it and feel for myself what you mean
you can do it legitimately with plugins
plugins?
ye
thought ffxiv had no addon type functionality
hushhush
Anyone in Elemental who can help me with the Hydra trial for ARR relic? It's hard to solo on a WHM due to Infirmity and Fear Itself 😦
as all those mods are officially not supported by SE
well feel free to dm me about them lel
go through the duty finder?
it has awful queue times
Yeah ^
My point is, macros can be unreliable as hell
I was able to solo the Chimera but this one is too annoying 😦
it aint free
The 15 sec fear means I'm basically helpless lol
Sadly I'm still on trial so I can't create a PF
any reason to keep completed Lux weapons? trying to free up space, Anemos weapon is upgraded from antiquated which is obtainable from salvager. Replicas obtainable from vendor
the same reason you got the Lux weapon in the first place?
glam?
iirc you can't put Lux weaponry in your dresser
well then i have the replicas in the glam dresser
and get them from vendor if somehow lost them
I like to chuck them onto a retainer and link them to brag. I spent too much effort on them to toss.
yeah i'm out of space lol, only 2 retainers
i havent checked other male races but how come the hyur only have 2 faces to choose from for male?

After my daily Rouls, what's the best way to level jobs 70-80? Do I just spam the highest level dungeon I can do?
If you are tanks and healers, yeah
Take note that if your job is exactly level 70, you want to go for the level 69 dungeon
(level 70 dungeons were the endgame dungeons so they were never tuned for giving good exp)
If you are Dps, dungeon is good if your queue time is around 10 minutes or less. Otherwise, go for Trust or Bozja
Makes sense 😄 Thank you
Hello all! is there a devised strat for the relic grind?
If I buy 6.0 when it realese do I get a free 30 day sub?
Ah ok
how do i unlock duty finder? i am level 24
unlock sastasha through level 15 msq
How do some ppl add separate hotbars somewhere at the top just for the sake of keeping eye when cd is off
Its hard having to look down at hotbat every time
msq u mean main story right?
yes
ty
(main scenario quest
)
just un-hide any of the unused hotbars you have in the HUD editor and move them to wherever you want, and put skills on it
So if I buy complete again will it give the 30 free days?
No?
it's base game that gives the 30 days, so if you already have a non-trial account then buying base game again wont do anything
no
there are macros in the game?
i mean u can press 1 button and multiple skills will be cast in sequence ?
There is but macros are extremely terrible for combat
Its a major dps lost for majority of macros
Due to lack of skill que and waits only being whole numbers
hmmm , i thought it would be useful on summoner, but i guess it would turn out really terrible right?
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
i just joined twin adder and it sasy "no more deliveries today" um what
i wanna get some credits to get my chocobo but there are no missions to accept
or the leveling daily roulette, depends on ur level it might give u enough to buy the insurance
Hi guys,
I am trying to return to FFXIV but I am getting this message...
Please Haaaalp!
log into mogstation and buy a subscription like it says
@green grail I honestly wouldn't come on here to waste people times without having tried that much
I have had money come out of my bank account. it should be active
im a lv 37 archer who just unlocked job quests, should i wait till lv 40 to get the last archer skill? is that skill unavailable to bards?
Do your BRD job quest the moment you unlock it
no, unlock bard asap, it's just a name change and you get extra skills, the archer ones stay
does it say you have an active sub on mogstation too? maybe its processing still
For new relic weapon do i have to do 1st step only once?
@green grail I could SS my mog station if that helps ?
Can I make unused hotbar that is merely for watching out for cds unclickable?
When I want to turn I always press accidebtly and drag skills
how much the new dlc will cost? 60$?
40$ most likely
The mog station is not very easy to navigate, I paid some money but I am not totally sure whats going on.
i haven't bought the game yet, should i wait for full package or just get it straight away?
you just starting out @twilit patrol ?
It's on sale for 50% off
Right now?!
Complete Edition is $30 instead of $60 yes
no i need steam 😦
