Still $60 on Steam?
Oof
which one should i get? FF14 shadowbringers standart edition or the ff14 online complete edition?
I have been stuck with this for a couple of hours now and its stressing me out XD
@twilit patrol might not get the other expansions in the shadowbringers edition ?
i will get all the expansions as i can see but i need the base game
If you get the complete edition it has everything. If you get ShB you must also get FFXIV starter edition as well
Can anyone gleam anything from this ?
As far as I know I reactivated my account but I cant get on
what platform does Mogstation say, and is it the same one that you're trying to log in on?
I am trying to log in through steam
@proud willow
I am unaware of any other way I could log in
been a long time
PC and PC (Steam) are treated as two different platforms
I assume Legacy counts as PC? I can't speak from experience there
but yeah, someone with a normal PC account won't be able to log in using the Steam client. They made that change a year or two ago
I think Legacy is that I got into it before ARR
where do I log in from then ? Can I download it straight to my pc somehow ? @proud willow ?
yep, that link ^
So, I'm a new player on the free trial. How would I go about finding a group for the binding coil of Bahamut turns. Is party finder good?
@surreal mulch thank you, trying it now
Binding Coil is a Savage difficulty raid, so it isn't in any roulettes at all. Party Finder is your only option
wow thats great, thanks
it's also pretty easy to find a level 80 to do it unsynced with you so that you can see the story
Novice Network, or even just in /say at a main social spot
when is the reset for the DR weekly quest?
Tuesday
Uhh I forgot, Bozja syncs all level 71+ chars to 80 right?
Totally not asking this while having played 60+ hours in Bozja btw

that seems to have worked @proud willow and @surreal mulch tyvm Ive gotten a bit further
Could I get a mentor to invite me to novice network? I'm in Siren
Hi. I bought retainers through my steam wallet and the days expired. When I try to buy them now it doesn't offer steam wallet as a payment method anymore?
Murtagh Blackthorne
Is bozjan best for loathsome? I've been doing quite a lit and I smh got 6 memories
I believe you have to specifically log into Mogstation via the link in Steam in order to have the Steam Wallet option
I mean its not a big deal since I have to spam anyway to lvl up rdm
I see that they drop very rarely lol
thank you
hey, new player/returning here do you know if prefered world will be awailable for characters creation soon ?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
thanks
It updates every few minutes, but is usually going to remain locked during busy hours
two combat retainers or a combat and a miner would be better?
kk
could i get some help
it seems my frontline queue went over 90mins : ( is that normal
my friend experienced this yesterday ,he deleted the thing and downloaded it with a vpn
did that fix it?
by fixing it you mean keep downloading he kinda "fixed"it right away ,it's just the speed became so low , so he decided to delete the whole thing and redownload it, i didn't stay there for the whole time ,but for the time i did the download speed went back to normal
PvP in general is not a popular activity, and today in particular many people in NA likely have other activities planned
ah thx
so basically uninstall it and reinstall with a vpn and i can play
I dont really know what this error is ,but my friend did this and download speed went back to normal for what I see
why is the SE website so awful, I just want to purchase the game and its acting stupid. I'm logging into my account but when I press login (NOT register) it asks me to choose a username and tells me the one i literally just logged in with is taken 🤦♂️ I'm using a phone with mobile data too since using my web browser on my pc just spits out an error. Any ideas why it seems to be asking me to pick a new username?
Not exactly sure if this is relevant to your problem, but the Square Enix store is a different system than the Square Enix site where you register and stuff
I just don't want to buy the game and then find out it was a different account and all my trial progress went poof
It's definitely a point of confusion
When you purchase the code you'll be given a product key. It won't be tied to the account that you made for the Square Enix store site
also its weird that someone would have my username on the store if thats the case. I like to think the one I used is pretty unique
you'll log into Mogstation with your regular login credentials and put the key in there
ok good to know
Hmm, maybe you created a store account years ago? I dunno
Which grand company should i choose?
whichever has the uniform and salute you like the best
there's no real gameplay difference between them other than the location of their HQ
Thats it?
Is there a stash/bank or you need to carry everything you own?
Well, so much for their speeches
It doesn't even affect PvP teams anymore... everyone gets put into a random FC during PvP (to avoid team stacking)
Hello is there a bank or stash in this game?
Retainers hold your items, they have 175 slots each
you won't have access to get retainers on the trial
Oh ok thx
but if you own the game, you get 2 of them when you do the level 18 story quest
I bought complete edition yesterday
Hello, quick question: What database is best to help me complete my fishing log?
I am on the free 30 days
There's also a glamour dresser in the inn where you can put gear that you want to use as glamour, 400 slots
Cat Became Hungry is the only fishing site I hear people talk about, never used it myself though
You unlock that with a quest at level 15
Just progress through msq and you'll stumble onto the npc who gives it
any tips for catching 1 of each fish easily for the I Caught That V achievement?
Does level a disciple of the hand/land to 70+ remove road to 70 buff?
so long as you're still within your 90 day window/server is still preferred, the road to 70 buff will return when you swap to a class/job that's under 70

Are there any tools out there to put rotations on-screen so you can practice them?
I sadly only have 1 monitor & trying to learn openers & rotations involves tabbing back & forth a ton
no. but I have a work around.
you probably have unused hotbars
you can put repeats of the skills in the order you wish to practice
and it will be visable while you fight
is the free trial limit to one per router? i mean when my friend trys to log on I cant log on and vice versa one of us gets the 2051 error on the launch
Ur a 900 IQ bigbrain

Interestingly I think my server isn't preferred anymore? So I guess since I'm still in my 90 days? So wait your saying even if a regular class goes over 70 it will come back if I switch to a close not under 70?
you will need to update your gathering logs for your retainer to collect them?
Wym?
If you mean "Do I have to gather something manually first myself before my retainers can gather it?" then the answer is yes @plain python

yes
fish too?
Thinking of taking a look again into the game. Was there an item level increase with the latest patch?
Yes
5.4 had one
When was 5.4?
I dont think so,, my friend is having issues as well
if i had to focus on one DoH, would blacksmith be good?
About 2 months ago
also what's the best venture for a retainer if i had to focus on one class for them?
I might ask tech about this bc people keep looking over the issue
I see thank you 🙂
Asking here because #archived-ranged-lounge is kinda dead
After MCH opener, what exactly do you do? Is there a specific rotation you need to keep up or just.. Spam stuff on cooldown?
Also when it comes to the autoturret, do I just use it on cooldown & don't worry about it otherwise?

does perception affect gatherer retainers' results?
Yes, you get a certain number of items depending on perception stats @plain python
If you lookup items on Teamcraft, it'll show perception caps & rates needed per item amount
How to use isearch when item has more than 1 word?
nice, is there a way that shows too which retainer has the item?
Right click the result, Search for Item, then the popup will tell you
What's the best way to level Bluemage 58-60
i was playing the ffxiv free trial on my pc but when i go to my ps5, it says it already has a service acc?
can't double dip on trial
if you want to play on two platforms, you need to buy the game
ah
If you buy digital complete edition, but not download it, just buy it, you can still be in free trial, there is no message of a must obligatory download right?
In ps4 I have to download it after starting free trial launcher?
Im ps store I have the option to not download also
ps4 automatically applies it to your account after you buy it
On bozja Castrum, what's the percentage gap you can get away with between the two bosses at the start when one is killed? Had a failed attempt where the bottom level lost the carry armour because there was a 10-15% gap in HP bar between top and bottom and bottom slowed right down
What is the difference between fellowships and FC? As a free trial, I can not join fc, but yes fellowships (and parties), what is a fellowship for? A fc but cross server?
Fellowship is mostly a message board. Very different from an FC
With it's own chat channel
And various other FC functions, like FC housing, buffs, shared storage chest, etc
Ok, what would be the linkshell then? A cross server chat?
So lot of social options hahaha
Always within the datacenter , there is never cross datacenter playability
linlshells are like private chat rooms inv only
no you can't do cross data center
I can not join a linkshell, but I mean, they are private chats, not like a big versión of public shout chat
So, you can message with:
Party
Fc
Fellowship
Linkshell
(And public chats /s,/y and /sh)
I try to know the productivity of a linkshell
Like a party but more members?
no it's just a private chat
Yes I know
some people use them to call out hunts or fates
But they have to invite each other lol, they dont know each other, if not because in Novice Network someone would ask for invitation or to form one
Anyway, ok thanks 👍

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right channel. I recently moved my game in another directory but FF14 still reinstalls about 30GB of data after I moved everything over. Why is that?
you mean you just moved the folders over?
yup
probably because the game defaults to that directory and now it sees it empty
Easiest way to gift someone ffxiv?
give them the code? or gift it on steam if they want it on steam
Ahh ok! Sorry didn't know if it was something through mog station
Hello , I am planning to return to ffxiv the coming after being on hiatus after finishing reflections in crystal story. So is there any specific gear to aim for at the moment?
this guy says i can join the rogues guild. is that a thing that locks me out of something else or can i join many guilds?
That's to unlock the rogue class
It doesn't lock you out of anything. You can switch back to whatever you were before
^
You can freely swap between every class in the game
Provided you aren't in a dungeon or something
oh ok thx. i wanna learn crafting
There's new crafted gear. There's also new gear from the new eden raids, and new tomestone gear.
do I need a job at 70 atleast to level it up on bozja?
71
Ah I see, tyty
There's a new raid tier as well
Can you gift someone the CE upgrade ?
just a quick stupid questions, allready got my clear in e9s and got 0 items from the chest, if i help another group complete theres, can i roll for those chests too until i get a item?
neverlucky
Is BLU supposed to not trigger MSQ progression for dungeons?
just seems weird that I'm in ||Kugane|| now and the game still asks me to do the dungeon xD
any1 have any experience in moving the authentication from one phone to another?
The safest way probably is to remove it from your account and then re-add it with the new phone. There are some backup/transfer apps that might work, but it's a bit risky if you're losing the data on the old phone.
And make sure you have a copy of your emergency code, just in case.
tyty
should i complete all sub quests?
its gil
that's gil also
eorzean G
oh ok
means a shop somewhere sells it for 19g
Is the check, to see if you got hit by the gaze, performed at the moment you see the dodge/status effect on your screen?
generally assuming there's a cast bar, it's checked at the end of the cast
although some of the older checks are weird and somewhat laggy, like in World of Darkness
ty!
It usually snaps the same way as any caster cast so the last 0.5~ is a bit to late to turn
hi sorry to bother (new to game) my Square Enix ID doesnt seem to work on the client login. ive logged onto my mogg station but the id that shows doesnt work on the client login for some reason, any ideas as im stumped. thanks
Do you get mettle from delubrum?
does anyone ever does low level dungeons like satasha? 😄 5 minutes in and not a single player found
Are u a dps
what r the dungeons that i can unlock after finishing 5.4 msq?
There's a weekly repeatable quest that gives a lot for beating it but otherwise no
ye, i am dps, 11 min after, i finally got in
what does it mean when they have that bubble frame and the icon next to the fish name?
Means its high quality
thx

you can get twinning and akadaemia anyder after finishing 5.0 msq, all the other level 80 ones are msq so you have them unlocked if you finished 5.4
what are the best lost actions for DRG in BSF?
nothing other than that?
no
can't go wrong with boost slash ngl? but font and honored sacrifice are good too
Are there premade groups for Castrum? I've attempted to clear it 5 times and we wiped every time
There's discord groups that try to
you can't go in as a premade, but some groups try to organise runs
I'll search for these groups then, ty
should i sell the low level gear i dont need?
what does shop selling price mean? player market?
the price vendors sell it at
Shop selling price tells you if it’s available from an NPC vendor and how much they sell it for
ah got it, thanks
You can safely sell old gear for the most part unless you want to save for glamour or leveling other classes
sell it until you rank up in your gc enough to turn in gear
grand company
do you guys frequently convert HQ items to LQ items to sell items in one stack instead of 2?
oh i have no idea whats that is , so i guess ill find that out later when the time comes 😄
it's part of the story
Depends on the item/sell values
i am on lvl 15 story quest
you'll get there soon
meanwhile i am lvl 28 😄
you get offered to join a grand company later on in the story
once you join, you have the opportunity to get grand company seals, which helps in making money, among other things
assuming they aren't on free trial
yeee
basically you offload the gear u dont need to acquire grand company currency, which you use to buy stuff, and sell on marketboard
i am.
then you can't sell on the mb
sucks.
you can still you join grand company though
there's other benefits besides money
also, on the free trial, you have a pretty low gil cap anyway
300k
and you will likely cap on gil before you finish the game
😐
i mean 300,000 gil is more than enough
steam sale cmon!
I mean without access to mb youll be hard pressed to spend that much in the first place
since you get all the gear you need from main story quests
likely 90% of the gil you spend will be on teleports
And don't forget to get dual factor authentication to unlock one free teleport location
that's not from 2fa
what's that
companion app is free
the teleport
No im pretty sure that's from 2fa
yeah
unless I'm thinking of something else
The 2 fa let's you pick one free tp location
companion app gives you another retainer
That's paid iirc
assuming you sub for it
no it gives you one extra favored destination
by the way, you can play the free trial indefinately
so dont feel pressured to sub
i am not pressured even with sub
unless you really like the social aspects and want to level beyond 60 and go to the third expansion
its like 4$ because of regional price
where do you live?
Georgia
the country?
yup
oh cool
i heard they increased prices for russian players
it's good you're not affected
i am using turkish currency
are you using a vpn to play this game?
nope
favored destination isn't free teleport
its not ip blocked or anything
and my ping is like 50
the gear we get from raids/dungeons can be sold on mb? or it's character bound?
Hello guys, I need some help with crafting grade 4 expert recipes....is it possible with the perfected relic weapon, which I just got, handsaint gear, and aesthete HQ accessories?
Looked up a youtube guide but his stats are much higher for some reason despite that I have higher item level
is it considered bad etiquette when healer rescues tank if he thinks tank is pulling too much
He has got 2749 crafts/2852 control/569 cp, while I have got 2657 crafts/2556 control/488 cp and idk how
@twilit patrol no, raid and dungeon gear are untradeable
just tell them in chat
okay i am jumping ahead of time but still wanna know, how hard is it to gear up from a scratch for a newbie?
i was just wondering since a healer rescued me in bardam's mettle
in the 2nd group pull
i was no where close to dying
is it like a hardcore experience ?
it kinda annoyed me but i stayed silent
no
gearing when leveling is pretty linear
at endgame you have multiple choices for gear
i meant end game, sorry
oh
SE does gearing at endgame in like cycles
so you have 2 sets of currency, one which is weekly locked
the weekly locked currency is used to buy part of the bis set
and the rest of the bis comes from doing savage raids
getting the gear to be strong enough to take on endgame stuff is easy
just takes a few weekly resets to grind out
of course if you dont want to do savage raids then your gear doesnt matter too much

well i do wanna do all the content
grenoldt doesn't have any gear for RDM?
@tidal yarrow you need to do the magic dps role quest
are players friendly towards newbies or they like to gatekeep ?
theyre friendly
when doing pugs
if you tell them youre new
if youre learning and join a learning party, friendly
^
im not sure what u talking about :o
ah got it, thanks 🙂
the role quests that the game told you about
were you a mage when you did msq?
!faq rolequest
no i was samurai
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
These
then you havent done the role quest for mages
You gotta do them for the role you want gear from
ooh
question, i bought ffxiv complete edition on my ps4, and i have a unredeemed code for the windows version. if i redeem the windows version do i get 30 more days (for a total of 60 days)?
not really
@gentle shale yes
its like 4 or 5 short duties
thanks!!
Can anyone tell me how to get higher craftsmanship and control with lower level gear
pots and food
materia
How do I unlock "annoy the void" guildhest? Googling doesn't help, need this shit for mentor roulette
The guy in this guide had higher stats without potions or food... And I'm using higher item level stuff, the hand saint gear, and the 510 Skybuilder's tool
I'm just like how
wait, if u buy a copy on ps4, u get a free one on pc?
no
So aesthete's stuff with materia is better than the handsaint stuff?
@junior tide did you do all the rest of the guildhests
That I did
can you screenshot the guildhests you have
it's really close but yeah, i think its like a single digit difference between the two
What should I do with all these extra Field Notes?
do u guys still use cure 1 at all?
turn them into the historian in bozja
for lockboxes
Ah thank you
@junior tide can you click on "more than a feeler" and see if it has a green check?
I just cleared it, so it does
Doing guildhests of the highest available level and competing it unlocks the next one
I didn't, that's why I'm here
:d Win key + Shift + S so you dont need to take photo with your phone.
you can easily gear up for endgame through marketboard
I'm too lazy to load discord on my pc
the exarchic gear costs around 100,000 per piece (on crystal datacenter, at least)
so being fully geared doesn't take much anymore
@junior tide try relogging or something
the exarchic gear set is ilevel 510, whereas the best gear i think is, ilevel 535?
for armor its 530
how big of a difference is it?
wow, that sounds cheap
yep extremely
i wouldnt worry about gearing for endgame at your level anyhow
u can get to the end quite quickly if you skip the cutscenes (although i wouldnt recommend u doing that)
dont
but some people are just interested in the raiding/dungeons
its a slow burn but it sets up literally everything else that happens
does this autorenew?
yes
alrighty thanks!
What's the appropriate use for Perfect Balance?
Spamming Snap Punch or alternating Dragon Kick->Bootshine?
DK > BS
ok thx
whats the better way to level a healer ? deep dungeon or just regular ones ?
regular dungeons for healer
regular dungeons
only reason to do deep dungeon is trying out the healer with most of its full kit
since deep dungeons syncs your level up, and automatically gives you the spells/abilities for that level
so you can customize your hotbar to whatever feels comfortable
do we know if that 8seat mount is time based? does any1 know the price of it?
nice
Hi, my friend is on Cerberus in the Chaos datacenter, and I'm on Shiva in the Light datacenter, what should we do to play together? Do I need to pay?
how do i get new guild hest missions? completing msq ?
there's a guy in aleport that you talk to which unlocks guidhests i believe
i already unlocked it , i wanted to know how to get new ones
ty
the quest is based on your starting city
oh yea then what cerberus said
u get new guildhests for increments of every 5 levels
up to level ?50?
thats a good way to make gil and level as i can see
40
I link my ffxiv account on my ps4 and now i cant play with this account on my pc is it normal?
i should be doing them daily past 40 too right?
the guidhest roulette gives some money
no
otherwise it's not really worth it
theyre mostly for getting the armor at the end
:(((((
ah thats sad 😦
dont worry about money
you will get plenty
the story quests gives u plenty of money
also, what are you even spending your money on at this stage
teleports only
there aren't many gil sinks if you dont have access to marketboard
oh got armor for 2k only as well 😄
just do the story quests
give around 1-2k gil per quest
also dont waste money buying gear from npcs
it's not worth it
ye... learned it the hardway
u get gear as part of the quest rewards
pick up another class
Hey fellas, i just got here and i'm considering joining back into it again and i was wondering; whats a good class to play these days? (Preferrably not an overly complicated one while getting into it) to warm me up again? 😅
Used to play white mage but i dont quite feel like letting everyone down all the time
do msq with both of them
wait really?
@shell kelp any
i can do that?
yes
you can be all classes on 1 character
😐
red mage is pretty easy to pick up, also very strong rn
i think he was talking to pew
Yes
i was
red mage unlocks at lvl 50
i mean i free
no
Not on trial
what are some good vanilla classes?
i recommend a dps class and a healer class
All
i am going the summoner road now
any that looks cool
!faq meta
accept the exp reward with the summoner class
do dungeons with the healer class
!faq metameme
@remote lintel oh i know that, just not quite comfortable jumping into white maging and letting people die when i cant remember up and down x)
white mage is braindead
Press 👏 your 👏 buttons
if you want a dps dragoon is easy
the quickest class that can clear ARR msq content, in my experience, is dragoon
white mage heals? i just thought they casted glare
get a healer
😄
Hahaha, welp, i probably should just give it a try then. Probably too used to the toxixity off WoW healing😅
the bow class is healing?
no
No
archer is dps
conjurer
😦
they already have a healer if theyre going summoner
it's hard to follow
oh true
ok tank it is
the only tanks at your level are gladiator in ul'dah and marauder at limsa
sword and board/greataxe
gladiator
glad
i am doing that!
the quests are boring though
the marauder quests are much more comical
if u care about that
when you get to heavensward and want a good class quest story pick up dark knight
its written by the same person who wrote the shadowbringers story
guys i have a question
I link my ffxiv account on my ps4 and now i cant play with this account on my pc is it normal?
can you screenshot your mog station page
on mog station?
Thanks btw🙌🙌
mog station is the lobby right?
mog station is a website
it say it on the launcher
can you log in to mog station
The PC and PS4 are separate licenses
Which can be tied to one account
yeah you need to buy the game on pc to play it on pc
And shared data
If you are playing on ps4, you have to repurchase the game on pc
ohhhhh
It is a different license
But your account data will be shared so don't worry about your character being gone
Unless you were on trial then i would think it would make a new account since you cant double dip trial
If my ps4 suscribe end, can i renew it for pc ?
you need to buy the game on pc
Does anyone have a imgur gallery with the augmented versions of recollection weapons? Trying to figure out what to farm next after finishing my main class.
i can't switch classes before i complete my lvl 30 job quest?
Subscription covers both pc and ps4
yes you can
thanks for the info
umm how ? :S
you need to have done your lvl 10 class quest
done it
just equip the weapon of whatever class ytoure trying to play
Then go do the unlocks
ahh
too late 😄
ahaha 😄 will be a lesson
now equip everything back
if you really need to
i mean.. i am naked.
yeah but i gotta complete those somehow first :S
buy accessories
or wait
all the gear you have should be "disciple of war"
just equip that
yup
i do not know how to come up with a name for my character, how did you guys choose your characters names
so can u explain me how do i level up this gladiator now? or maybe u can give me a link ?
using lore
!faq altlvlguide
hunt log, challenge log, fates
itll just make it faster
If you need some assistance there are two ways to go about this
Using the name generator in game upon character creation or this site
https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/final-fantasy-xiv.php
Final Fantasy XIV name generators, names for the various races in the Final Fantasy XIV universe.
theres also
Elezen
Both the Wildwood and Duskwight Elezen are proud clans from a proud race. The forenames and surnames used by them have changed little since the time when they first crossed into Eorzea from the north. However, over the ages, due to bad blood between the two tribes, the surnames once commonly used by both, have b...
Otherwise you can use any name for your character
ty ty
btw how long the 2x exp lasts? is it till one of my classes reach 70?
90 days
Minimum
minimum
Longer if server stays preferred
Which server are you on might I ask
louisoix
Oh okay
i saw 2x, i go there 😄
That server seems preferred Most Of the Time
It will be preferred until next patch
Still, make use of your time with road to 70 anyway
So the buff will stay until then
What's the current state of content in the game? I left after Bozja release and went to play WoW but now I am tired of it and have been thinking about re-subbing and wanted to know if theres enough content for a casual player to enjoy without just running dailies, capping tomes, and logging for the week
next patch? when is it?
April 13
ooof
that sounds juicy
skysteel tool upgrades if you craft
i wanna start crafting, is it profitable?
yes
In the long run? Absolutely
crafting is the top way to make money
which professions would u recommend?
raid food is profitable
i guess gonna take all blue quests lol
after HW you unlock an area to power level crafters
I suggest Leatherworking, mainly because when you desynth dungeon drops from early dungeons, you mainly get leather
doing supply missions for the grand companies is also a boatload of xp at lower levels
thanks for the tips
No problem!🍺
Crafters get an exorbant amount of exp compared to battle classes so it won't take as long as you think
Yeah, you can go from 1-80 in a few hours if you dump a lot of Gil into leveling them
does anyone use a stream deck for ffxiv? I've heard its good for quick changes and effects.
i hope ROI would worth it
(Don’t personally recommend doing so, though)
I did ishgard from 20-70 and then leves from 70-80
Finished crafters in under 2 weeks
Or you can do leves only
Or Ishgard only
Its totally up to preference tho
It’s also very much possible to make Gil while still leveling up if you don’t mind taking it slower
Like making the items used for leve turn-ins and selling them instead of using them
yeah, i got fisher leisurely to 70 via this and that, attempted catching intuition fish, got shafted due to lack of stats, and leveled to 80 via leves in about 15 minutes out of sheer spite
for treasure maps, could i only get 1 a day?
you can only gather one a day
1 every 18h
say i found a map
but its low grade
Still counnts
could i not obtain it
leves, are radiant quests that're obtainable from most settlements
and hope for a better one
It only counts if you actively gather it
the firmament is the place in ishgard for power leveling crafters
There's some for battle classes and crafters+gatherers, but the battle ones are basically useless
so if i dont gather it i can still find other maps
leves are repeatable quests
got it, thank you
Yes
you can however use them for crafters and gatherers as a primary source of xp outside of Ishgard firmament
The allowance is used up when you actually gather it
@faint flare thanks

I just got promoted to paladin from gladiator, and it says i got a skill but i can't find it anywhere, is there something I need to do to switch?
Equip le job stone
Found it, ty
gc side quests and hunting log is available for free trial players?
yes
Which class would you say is easiest to play? Trying to compensate for neuropathy, makes moving my hands quickly almost impossible. I've been playing dancer and so far that seems ok (only level 62 so not sure if it gets a lot worse later on), not a lot of buttons, but figured I would ask.
👍
Dancer and red mage
if you cant press buttons quickly then black mage
dancer has some button spamming moments
Low Apm is like red mage kinda or black mage
or warrior
Or that
Warrior? Did not expect to hear a tank in there
Just 1 2 3 and use cooldowns
Doesn't DRK have low apm?
it has a lot of ogcds to weave
DRK is higher than WAR surely
is there a emote for slav squat yet?
no
Tanking comes with its own set of problems though doesn't it? Especially for somebody with a disability...although the groups I've had in this game do seem faaaar less toxic than my last mmo >>;
not really
Machinist is easy. Just a 123 combo with gcds
Hypercharge says hello
Only if you want to play machinist at expert savage level
No
no its built in to the class
If you want to do the basics
Casual, machinist is easy
its basic burst is fast weaving
Hypercharge and weaving Gauss/richo
You don’t have to use the burst
MCH is very fast paced. Even tho its easy, high apm isn't gonna help the person in question
Its basic MCH
yes?
No
if you want to do damage?
Then you're literally not doing your job
^
play MCH if you have ADHD
Hypercharge and wildfire is like 80% of your Damage
MCH is all burst damage my man
its the perfect mtch
Not against the rules to not do your job
A dps job is to do damage
well i would assume you dont want to drag the entire party down
I mean I would like to at least try to do my job ^^;;
Its your job
If you dont do your job
You're fucking dead weight
And should get outside
everytime i play MCH i feel like im having a seizure
Nobody’s forcing you to play well.
Sighs
ok dude
Its not anout playing well
This is not the conversation for it
its just
Its call DOING THE BASICS OF YOUR JOB
@winged cobalt
You can play however you want to

sure but its team content
Sorry to ping you
And you'll be kicked for not doing your job

What the fuck is going on here
No roles get to be lazy
The game is newbie friendly, so you don’t get kicked for not playing well

I set off a war accidentally, I think ^^;
no youre fine
Anyways seeing what you were asking
Landale you're fine and your question was valid
We’re not asking new players to immediately be good at their jobs.
Exactly
Casual content doesn't need the High APM part of DNC to be perfectly like Savage
We’re asking for making use of their full toolkit at endgame content
There's a difference between new people and being lazy and failing job basics
Unless savage is required at any point I will likely never do it honestly
savage is never required
Mostly make sure you are doing your dances off cooldown though
So I guess dancer, redmage, or a tank...the only one of those I even have leveled right now at all is dancer, so I guess I just stick to that for now ^^;;
or black mage
I tried black mage...or it's base class at least. I was having a ton of trouble with it for some reason
Although I guess it comes down to learning fights, felt like I never got any real time to cast anything when you're always dodging aoe's
you learn to use its movement skills
Black mage has alot of movement at cap
2 xenoglossies, aetherical manipulation, between the lines...triple...swift...procs
Slidecasting
Yeah you can get like 7-8 GCDs worth of free movement if you have your stuff line up
google wesk alber machinist leveling guide
it's provides a basic overview of your toolkit as you are leveling
5.3 Patch note: Description now clearly states the Overheat effect only applies to machinist actions. So expect a slightly altered tooltip.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 30? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Machinists ho...
while people probably wont say anything if u just did the 1 - 2 - 3 basic combo for machinist
peoeple will be very happy if you at least utilize machinist toolkit
its high apm
what is?
machinist
although to be fair, you probably shouldn't fault a new person for only just spamming the basic 1-2-3 combo
since the game does a terrible job of teaching new players how to probably use their class
and u can clear all the normal content without doing anything more than spamming the 1-2-3 combo
is there a way to write ñ in chat in PS4? I'm using a keyboard that has ñ (but in PS4 uses by default english keyboard configuration)
I'm a PS4 user myself and I'm fairly confident in saying no
Then again, I've never tried to input a ñ or another special character but I've also not seen anywhere on the on-screen keyboard to do so
There's an accented letters keyboard
looking to transfer from spriggan to a more popular EU english speaking server, any recommendations?
theyre all populated
looking at ffxiv census spriggan has 30k would prefer to be in one more pop
ff14 census isnt accurate
The way to count “active” players makes it very inaccurate
well i assumed it wasn't completely accurate, rather an indication of server populations
Only SE has those numbers
I’m pretty sure they count “active” as literally anyone that’s beaten 5.0 story
And that’s it
It doesn't matter in the end either way due to everything being cross world
And world visit
Can just hop to another world on the data centre
With small limitations
I see
!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)
This exists
thanks
is there a bot channel to do these commands or shall i do it here? dont wanna flood the chat

has anyone tried the Recruit a friend program? Anyone knows when i'll get the rewards? is it after the 30 days trial ends and i get billed for the 30 days, or in 60 days when 30 paid days have elapsed?
are you the recruiter
no
its when you get billed iirc
do you have to complete hell's lid before you can do jade stoa?
Yes
A question since I might as well go grab it since it starts out at 50
Where is RDM job quest
I'm no longer a trial person 
Its by the gates of Thal
So I can just use the Aethernet Shard by the Gates of Thal and be right next to it
👍
Im sorry im kind new on this game but on one page of ff14 I saw this
and I dont understand
Just random shit
They'll never do split classes/jobs again
They've been working to remove scholar from Summoner since
its just fanart really
oh I see
Split jobs like that is a balancing nightmare
You can one skill a job shares and it affects 2 jobs

i would only look for official information from gamerescape or the lodestone itself
or garland tools
anyway to check if youve done your weekly delebrum run ?
if the quest is red
The quest will list a time and date for when it will be available
For the cuff of son (savage),on the final boss, is there a specific mechanic we need to avoid?
Did they fix battle of castrum to give exp so other people that done it do it again for people who need it?
@tulip skiff no
No
😞 I’m stuck on it cause no one wants to do it:(
Yeah I been trying to do it for months but we can never get more then 15 people to do it
idk what you guys mean by "the quest" my only option is to just queue to delebrum
The quest giver is Annes
"one man's relic"
annes just has the red quest that requires 78k mettle for me
then you dont have enough mettle
If you did your initial Delurbum run for the sake of the story, it doesn't count as your weekly
why are so many people saying that the next expansion can be the last? why some people are saying that? and if so can it be true?
the next expansion is the last one for this main story
they will start a new story
Because they can't stick to the end of announcements and made false assumptions
They said they gonna work on ff14 for many years to come
Endwalker is the end of THE CURRENT saga
Lol
Think of 6.0 as the season finale
With 6.1 and beyond that as season 2
Anyone who tells you its the last clearly didn't read or listen to the showcase
Yoshi even said DURING THE ANNOUNCEMENT its not the end
yoshi p said he's going to work on ff14 until he like dies or the ceo tells him to stop
We don't deserve him tbh
Someone needs to clip that section of the announcement
For the stupid people who say its ending
This question has been asked far too many times T.T
But it's understandable, he worked so hard with his team to make something viable out of the hellhole that was 1.X
but who will make ff 16 great then ?
😮
I'm hyped for FFXVI
well will you u in 4 years when it comes out ? 
hey there guys what attributes should i allocate into relic as SAM
Follow your meld priotry
I'll wait more than 4 years, i'm not gonna buy a PS5 for one fucking game
How do you get back to the ladle in Amh Araeng? i missed the currents when i was there
im about to kill the 3 original primals on hard mode, how much longer until i get to ishgard?
There's a person in Twine you talk to iirc
to you know the name?
Not off the top of my head, and I can't check right now, but there's a gatekeeper icon on the map there. They should be there
sounds it, named trolley operator. thanks
How do I up my max magic. Is it just with levels because it’s been at 10k for awhile
Max MP is always 10k
MP got standardized a while back so it's always 10000
Damn
how do i get the quest a reacurring problem
Minifilla in the waking sands
thank
very casual player, im level 25 right now. im currently an archer, was looking for some tips on what to do what not to do
make sure keep uptime on your DoTs
!faq newplayertips
And make sure you're doing your class quests for skills and some items
^
Once you hit 30 you'll be able to upgrade to bard
Which is the main bow job
So make sure you do that
anything that the game doesnt make you play in a party for is soloable
No
by any class
All jobs are capable of soloing
in the marketboard
Its on a mannekin
The person has that item displayed in their house on a mannequin
