Can you get vexatious and haunting memories from skirmishes and Critical Engagements in bozja?

Yes, but the drop rate is abysmal.
no, only from ivalice or mhachi alliance raids or fates in gyr abania and othard
I thought they were also from CEs. Was that not the case?
Ah, wrong step then.
Strange question, but ever since 5.45 has anyone else had issues shutting off their game? Whenever I exit, instead of closing cleanly, the whole screen turns black and I have to alt-tab and close it manually from windows.
Actually I've had that on occasion
but fate drop rates are rly bad, so best choice is do void ark, rabanastre and do fates while in que for these
not all the time but I've noticed it sometimes
Thanks!
Yeah it's not a 100% thing either but its been happening more often than not. Seems to have only started since 5.45
I don't think its anything to worry about
Probably, hasn't seem to cause any issues so far. Just wanted to see if it was a thing on my end or not.
Can I get drops from Sigmascape savage 4.0 unsynced?
guys.. why is bane greyed out? the enemy has both effects
Are you level synced?
what level is the skill and what level are you currently synced to
Not guaranteed
Pray/sacrifice your first born to rngesus
There's a hotfix coming for this patches relic steps but we don't know for sure what it entails
Im lsoing my mind, Im trying to mess with accounts, But I cant not access the settigns tab in https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/home2 Like it literally just loads infinitely am i missing something LOL
Welcome to the official SQUARE ENIX website. Find all the latest news and updates about your favourite games and upcoming releases.
Hopefully they also fix drop rates while at it in dr
It's guaranteed in Dr iirc
What is this thing under my exp bar that says 'Chain bonus! 15 seconds left' or something like that
bonus for killing multiple mobs
You get an xp bonus for killing enemies within a certain time of each other.
Hey i just subscribed for 2 extra retainer but I have 2 characters one of the has 4 retainer and the second one which I currently play on has only 2 retainer, when I try to get the 2 extra retainers it says you can only have 2.
#fixed I had to log out
Oh
Any help please
BLU Log: The great hunt shows up as ??? and you have not unlocked this trial, except I have, I beat it years ago, what's it want from me to do it as BLU?
Is there a reward for being Bloodsworn with all the Shadowbringers beast tribes like there is with the Stormblood ones?
not yet
Is it possible to make a macro icon of armor like the Neo ishgard, Aesthete, Exarchic etc?
i believe so but it the gear will have to stay in your inventory
gross.
I don't wanna keep gear I don't use lol.
Trying to find macro icons for my crafting stuff, without the generic default icons.
you could use the main hand?
Does the bonus only apply to one mob type or can I chain the bonus to any mobs?
Any enemies killed within the time period.
Damn I should've started farming enemies then
I was getting a 480% exp boost off that
It only lasts for a maximum of like, 2 minutes, I think. You get +10s for every enemy you kill, but it counts down the whole time.
oh
It starts with 72s on the clock.
don't keep mainhands around either 
lol.
I guess I'll just stick with the generics, and hope I never mix them up.
You could also just keep it in your inventory if it's that important to you
Since all the DoH are basically the same.... is there a way to copy my bars from one to the next
you can use a hotbar copy macro, and just change the few skills which are different
the copy is From > to?
/crosshotbar if using controller
And yes
It's useful if you pick up any of the arr jobs
The more you know 🎵
cook, nerd
I'm cooking literally 300 cheese risotto 😛
I don't understand how to progress in bozjan, do I group up with people and do fates, or do I join the cluster farms?
fates
cluster farms are just for people who want to farm bozjan clusters
Fates to increase your rank
you need mettle to rank up, which is fates and critical engagements
doing fates and critical engagements gives you mettle
you gain mettle to rank up
ranking up gives you quests
Ok
You need 10 minimum to unlock the castrum and by extension do the latest relic step/progress the bozja story
Rank 15 to attempt the new savage but that's the cap
what buttons can i take off my pld hot bar this thing is crowded
Everything is used
None of them
if youre going to do crafters you do them all
but crafting is optional
but in terms of money making yes theyre worth it
When you use somebody's friend code how long does it take for you to get the rewards if you're the one that just bought the game
you get the rewards when youre billed iirc
Oh okay
Contemplating returning and haven't paid a sub yet, I'm wondering what the current caps on tomestones are? Are allegory still capped at 450 or is it just the tomes for the 5.4 gear?
revelation for i520 is capped at 450/week, allegory is uncapped since it's old gear
How annoying would it be to swap classes at like lvl 35 in the story
not very

Best way to level BLU from 60 to 70?
Does the mob tagging work with one lv60 BLU and 1 lv80
exactly the same
i just moved servers and i noticed a lot of people use nunh or tia as their last name? is this a lore thing?
Is kholusia that much better than lv70 enemies in the lochs?
Tia is a surname used by most miqotes (cat people)
In universe
fairly certain most of the mobs in the lochs are 69
thanks
which is why amh araeng/khoulsia are better
So as someone with a free trial account, there's no way to communicate with anyone that's far away?
no
I mean you can use discord, but nothing in game
Well
Linkshell or being in a party with them already
Or if they're in the novice network
@unique oasis information isn't wrong. goberin/tataroga sell them once you've completed "Absolutely Glamourous"/" Submission Impossible" (they're basically the same quests, just different names depending on where you unlocked glamour)
that's a lot of gil you got there
thats like average crafter amounts of gil
are there not much gil sinks overall?
the mansions cost 50+ million gil
oh wow ok
thats not counting the cost of furnishing it
How come I can't use the ferry, even when this quest is telling me to?
which quest
And which ferry
does it say the ferry isnt running?
guys, do i need to do labyrinth raid to go further into msq before hw?
you need to complete the whole crystal tower raid questline
gosh
Of the line
up til "The Light of Hope"
They're face roll as hell
plus im q-ing as dps 💀
I need many tome of botany folklore norvradt to complete my gathering log 70-80 ?
What are good uses for Hide
Resetting murdas
wut
Ninja thing
How far in to the MSQ do I have to get to unlock retainers
Lv17
I just hit 10 with ROG Vinyl
After you join the scions basically
M'bank Ronso is off on an adventure then! lol
someone knows :s ?
folklore tome novrandt is for the 80 legendary nodes
Then wait and see. Also job quests
Yeah yeah I'm on my way back to the God forsaken Rogue's Guild to go back to Middle La Noscea and then back to Rogue's Guild again
And then go back to Middle La Noscea to continue my MSQ

You only need 1 per gatherer to unlock all of the 80 legendary nodes, which is 40xRegional Folklore Trader's Token
Oh ok
Are Airships dyable? Do they even have models?
Ty ^^
@empty pecan yes and yes. But you really only see the airship as a hologram when managing it and the cutscene where you send it out.
Does anyone know where the blue mage thing is in ul'dah?
I am slowly discovering how truly disgusting the Road to 70 bonus from a preferred world is
Between the Miner’s Guild and Weaver’s Guild.
It’s also where the calamity salvager and BLM teacher hang around
Thanks
I've decided to finally level blue mage so I'll need to know where the teacher is
Yeah, playing on a preferred world sounds pretty nice
It is
some worlds dont have the bonus?
nope
Most worlds don't
weird... glad i randomly chose one that had it lol
basically its a buff given to worlds that SE feels need a population boost
to give people a reason to go to those worlds
to preferred world status general change every so often, mostly with a patch/maintenance

Been trying to grind for the new resistance weapon and ive done the void ark and another crystal tower raid already but havent gotten any memories am i doing something wrong
do you have the quest active for that step
You also need the weapon you’re upgrading either in your inventory or armoury
Oh so I could lose the buff or it's "grandfathered" when it switches
So if it’s in a retainer or glamour dresser you need to take it out
you're assured 90 days with the buff
Oh cool thx
Is it better to play on steam or own launcher?
up to you
Steam permanently locks you to it on the pc side
What are the differences
Its the same game though in every other aspect
Functionality the same
Just steam doesn't allow you to use other retailers if they have sales
And its all cross play
Does it have achievements on steam? I lime achievements
cons:
steam has less frequent sales
you'll be forced to buy all future expansions on steam
pros:
can use steam wallet
regional pricing if you live outside of US
they have the same achievements
theres an achievement system in game
Yeh i mean, most key sell websites sell it to the launcher one
3rd party sellers only sell the windows keys
I play on windows
i meant windows as in not steam
So lets say I go into bozja as an ilvl284 GNB, does that sync me up to 430? or will it only sync you down?
cool thanks
You're hard set to 430
but also i284 is really low for a lvl 71
Just wear something
Was just making sure I wasn't about to get wrecked because I refuse to buy armor for this guy

Just sticking it out tiill I can slap my 510 armor on them
As long as you have gear equipped in all slots you’re good for Bozja
Where would be the best place to search for a portuguese community?
Omg ive had it equipped lmao
@terse kindle an fc on community finder
I just got lvl 80 on dragoon but i cant find the last quest, do i need to do main story?
The lv80 job quest is locked behind Shadowbringers and physical dps role quest completion
you need to have completed shadowbringers and the physical dps role quests
oh you just said that
thanks for the help, i was kind of confused
its also a regular yellow quest from alberic in coerthas central
after doing shadowbringer and the dps quest right?
ye
yes
If I use PotD on a preferred world is it possible to level three classes simultaneously? 
potd is only good for dps with long queues
also its possible just by doing roulettes
I've noticed Teamcraft has an /e line about using your food, seems new.
But, what purpose does it serve? iirc you can't eat food mid craft.
probably to remind you to eat food again
Well, if you're already started the macro and you need to pop food, it'd be too late, no?

for the next craft
Ah.
makes sense I guess.
If I were to buy a plot in FFXIV, could I share it w/ somebody? Like, they can select "teleport to my estate", make edits, etc?
if you make them a tenant
They can edit if you make a tentant
and give them permissions
Alright, thank you!
Has the best/cheapest collectables changed recently? Been doing Rarefied Lemonade for White scrips.
I forgot what for Yellow scrips though.
Does Ishgard have a new bishop after Heavensward?
Or who is the leader of the church, now?
that would be a spoiler I feel, but I think the story answers your question for you?
Well ||Aymeric is basically in change||
They're in charge but do they take over as leader of the church? Like, are they the new Pope?
Or just head of the Republic?
I think ||The Church that the old man held is gone since it was teaching Dragons = bad||
||Aymeric becomes head of the House of Lords/House of Commons||
yes
the "see" part always bothered me.
probably won't get a name change anytime soon so 🤷♀️
Well, See means seat, and Holy would be the Holy Seat, or whomever is leader of the church.
It's where the head of the Church is located.
Yeah but I always think of "Holy Sea" lmao.
But after Heavenward they don't really address what happens.
So I finally got everything figured out, Im going to be leveling solo mostly, for a starting class are they all about equal in speed ? or is their a good choice for a start solo class
they all start slow
So, when talking about "skyward score" with crafting, that just means your overall score for crafters, right? how do you check that?
That'd be for the ishgardian restoration, specifically
Thank you. I'm guessing I get to that at the end of HW?
3.3
Alright, thank you

finally!!
I'm going to assume "no" on a lot of this.... but can I make a free trial account to be my bank alt?
and also to post on the MB
No
"Free Trial Players cannot trade with other players during the Free Trial."
Trial cant have retainers, access market board or receive items from others from any means
and once I have a base version.... I need a subscription to use that account yes?
yes
you can make a solo FC for storage
true true
i mean
ive personally never even come to close to needing all 6 inventory windows
but then again i don't craft much
you've never filled up your bags? that seems... crazy to me
nope ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I have 1 retainer full of crafting mats, 1 full of items for the MB since I can only post so many at a time
of my 6 "bags" i have 1 full of glam prisms, food, gysahl greens, potions, etc etc. a bag I dump anything into that I want to keep for glams
and the rest just fill up as I'm killing things and doing regular content
how many glamour prisms do you need god damn
I'm sorry, you have an entire "bag" full of glam prisms?
Glamour dresser
Use the damned dresser
....
glam prisms and dispel prisms are 2 slots in the bag. i didnt say it was a whole bag
Its literally 400 spaces if storage right up
Are you literally keeping every single item in the game from lv1
nope
I have literally every job maxed
and all the promo/costume sets that weren't cash shop
you could probably get rid of a fair bit of crafting mats
cloud, squall, lucian, wild rose set, zidane, 2B, etc etc etc
and not on your retainers
most of the AF sets that need to be purchased with centrino seals i have in the glam chest
lots of weapons
if they're in the armoire you cant use them for glam plates
yes you can
You can
Yes you can
there is an option when you're making a glam plate to switch to the armoire
Open armourie button
OH god damn
In the plate
well shit I'm shoving all those back in there
mmmmmm freed up space......
still though, I'd love to have an entire library of "casual" clothes, all the dungeon sets I like, all the class sets I like, etc. but I have to pick and choose
if the storage increased for each max level job you had that would be neat
208 pieces for just AF2 and 3 with weapons for all combat jobs
then there's pvp sets, dungeon sets, various tome sets, gold saucer prize costumes.......
why are you carrying so much sets?
glamour
the true endgame
Question, what’s the best way to get item level up? I’m at end of jeavensward with 209 item level and can’t progress any further
you can buy shire gear with tomes
How does one obtain tomes
roulettes and dungeons
click the gil icon icon in the bottom right of the screen and see how many of these bad boys you got
I haven’t played in 4 years lll
Ohhh I have 2000/2000 allagan
Can I do anything with those
you buy the shire gear
talk to the sundry's splendor guy near the aetheryte plaza in ishgard
Okay wow it’s been so long I remember literally nothing haha
What is the best way to get Bozjan coins?
Farm fates/ces. Turn in excess Field notes for coins
anyone else lagging?
anyone with the law's order fending/maiming chestpiece -- how is the cape? does it flow or is it glued to your ankles?
if its like any other cape piece it should flow
is the valentine's event live?
melee does more dps than ranged?
hmm, ty
assuming gear and skill vacuum, yes
no, they're pretty close
thanks

Is there a point to going back to arcanist or is summoner an upgrade?
no point in ever going back
Cool nice
Can I use the same gear to heal as a scholar that I use to dps as summoner? Without my team dying horribly?
during early ARR, yes
but onwards healers get a specific gear that's different from casters
just make sure the gear you have has mind stat
Oh, so mind affects healing but not damage?
no it affects both
Oh then what is special about healer gear?
if you're a healer, mind affects your heals and damage, intelligence does nothing
if you're a caster, intelligence affects your damage, mind does nothing
Once you get to level 50 gear is split between the roles with some exceptions
(namely ninja and dragoon)
Oh i see, two magic stats
So I've played the game before, albeit several years ago, and reintroducing myself to the game I'm now overwhelmed with which class to shoot for for my first like " playthrough" i know you can eventually be every class but, trying to decide the first one is daunting. Any advice?
You can switch your main class starting from level 10 if that helps
check larry's video in the pins maybe

how do durability drought works?
im not quite sure what you're asking?
@delicate field im the type to try to stick to something for quite a while, so im trying to decide one to " ride out" for a while before i try all the others
You input class levels and it tells you how many runs of 10 floors of Deep Dungeon you need to level purely from DD >_<
@candid girder well it was just to say that if you don't like your first choice, you can stick to another for the rest of the game quite early on
theres a video in the pins showing each job
Is deep dungeon one of the best leveling grind?
deep dungeon is like the middle tier
how many haunting/vexatious memories do we need for step 2 of the new relics?
thank you, i already know a general synopsis of the classes besides the couple newest ones, I'm more so looking for personal sentiment, I like having these conversations with people.
however, what are the most "complicated" classes? id prolly want to stay away from those.
What about during leveling?
Kits are pretty simple at 50, most unique mechanics start existing at around level 60, and resemble the 80 versions at 70
18 of both
amazing that it doesnt actually say anywhere, thanks
in terms of rotation alone id probably say summoner/samurai are more complicated and strict
It says it in the quest text. I’m sure the node says it too when you try to talk to it
got it
also black mage has a pretty simple rotation but is notoriously confusing for newbies to level because its rotation changes a lot
also learning how to make proper use of its movement skills is important
bard, machinist, and dancer are all pretty simple and spammy
Yeah, BLM can have like 6-7 GCDs worth of free movement if you use your tools right
And then Aetherial Manipulation along with Between the Line for basically teleporting to other party members and your ley lines
tanks and healers are easier rotation wise and not that hard to learn
How you behave with them is a bit tougher
There's some community expectations, and also some solo story content takes longer because less damage.
monk and dragoon are probably the easier melee dps to learn
And you get access to both right at the start
ninja has high apm and is pretty fun
I know my questions are prolly annoying because I like, am not 100% new, but I also havent played in years, so im just asking anything that comes to mind.
next question, same theme.
last time i just focused on leveling one class and that was what i planne don doing again int he beginning, but would it be better to level 3 classes simultaneously, i.e. 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 dps? I know it becomes easier to level alt classes after one is already higher level right? or it was if i remember correctly
whatever you want to do
The content ain't going anywhere, so it really depends on how much time you want to invest.
and yes theres the armoury bonus
which gives +100% exp to a lower level class when killing things
However, I'd personally stick that down to just two classes. Three is a bit rough to keep track of and keep leveled at the same time.
If you stick with one job, and only do MSQ, you should be a bit ahead of the leveling curve for the game.
leveling in this game is fairly fast so dont fret about leveling from level 1
you can do 1->20 in a reasonable play day. Like four hours or so.
it can be faster with all sorts of bonuses but even without, it’s still not that grindy
given that you've unlocked story stuff to 20.
thanks for answering my questions everyone.
No problem, homie. Welcome back.
questions arent annoying here
i know a lot of people tend to get annoyed if a question gets answered and you reword it, or reply with another question, so im trying not to do put anyone off
I've been doing only MSQ and am level 35 and the story quest I'm doung is level 20
Levels go up so fast
thats normal for early levels
Yeah early on only lol
That sounds about right
That's why I'm leveling two (and soon™️ three) classes at once
Anyone finished a relic weapon yet?

Having issues finding concrete info on the process
any specifics?
Lmao that emote
Thankies!
I have a more odd question that's not as game play oriented.
I know glamour is a thing, but, through leveling up, just playing a class, will the "design" of weapons and armor change enough that it doesnt feel like im using the exact same stuff for like weeks on end as im leveling?
yes mostly after arr
( game is patching so im killing time )
Yes, there's alot of different looking pieces
A Realm Reborn has a lot of samey stuff.
Low level gear is mostly boring and generic but after that its different for the most part
Occasional reskins
What are relics? Just really strong gear?
weapons that are grinded for
they go through various changes as you "upgrade" them
old relics are mostly for glamour
Oh are they like endgame quality gear to get into raids and stuff?
not really
theyre only the best weapons at the very end of an expansion
They drag behind others until the last patch
savage and tome gear will be better before that
Ah ok cool thx
read it
I thought NA players couldn't read
pog
good for survivability
yeah read tooltips
if you have more than a handful of braincells then you'll know what stuff does
also good for use in a crowd and you spam aoes
If you pop it during your burst phase you can easily recover like, 3/4th to an entire health bar of HP
you can basically heal your entire bar if you aoe a ton of mobs
Does anyone remember how much lifesteal Bloodbath gives?
That was gonna be my next question
nope
20%
or 25%
I can't remember the math.
It's one of those two numbers though.
Same as DRG's Life Surge
Everyone, please, I need your eyes, memories and knowledge for 1 thing and one thing in particular.
Is this armor in FFXIV?
mod
300% mod
hmm...
hat too
Damn cerberus was there within a second holy fuck
except the wristbands maybe
It is a mod, for SkyrimSE, but I learned it is from FFXIV ported, looking for the name.
"is this a mod" is a common glamour question
It's too well detailed for something from FFXIV
^It's highscaled to SkyrimSE
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, pointless shrugging here, but I am just asking for the name
Probably a mod someone made for ffxiv then because I don't recognize it
its not something in the game
oh ok
Alrighty, thanks.
Thanks a million for that info!
Can I not assign gear sets to my hotbar on PC or am I just blind, or do I have to progress farther into the story to do so
open your gear sets and drag
don't worry that ones a little un-intuitive and lots of people mess that up too.
I learned that you could apply glamour plates to gearsets after like 650 hours of playtime lol
We've all had those moments
fully patched, is there a difference between which data center to choose aside from language? like is one american server much more populated than the other?
!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 pretty covers it
thanks a bunch
If you have friends that play this game too, go to their world.
I don't, I'm actually coming back because i quit playing League competitively, and i want something more pve oriented
I don't know anyone who plays
primal best data center
Then pick whatever! All options are good options.
What do RPers do in this game? That sounds kinda fun
they roleplay
Learn world lore, then act that out. Not really speaking in game terms but in world terms.
Build their own character and act it out
So, I'm tryna do Elite marks w/ my girl, but it's not letting me accept the Elite Marks (I've done the quest to unlock hunts). I looked up how to unlock them, but couldn't find anything on not being able to accept them. Do I have to do the daily's before I do the weekly?
Being all lore friendly
I seem ppl advertising music clubs and stuff?
@solar surge in ARR?
That's also RP.
yeah players do player events and stuff
You may get more bang for your buck if you visit one
Really cool, I'll go there next time they discuss it
I am on crystal lol, so I guess the RP is real
@remote lintel I'm in HW, but yes, the base ARR hunting boards in each the 3 main cities
Yes
Wait.. Nevermind, just figured it out
I can't get the Elite Marks until after I finish the Clan Hunt questline
how much time does a login restriction usually last? I already changed my password but it keeps saying I'm restricted, anything else I should do?
30 minutes but it should be reset along with the password reset
If it's still not working after 30 mins I would contact SE support
I meant the, security thing, "accessing from a new IP" so on, I got it, didn't receive the e-mail they said I'd receive but I saw everyone it just meant I needed to change my password
I changed, but I'm still restricted
Then I would contact SE support if not working after 30 minutes. Not much more we can recommend or do ourselves
weird question i guess but has those creases next to miqote eye always been there?
it's slightly more defined on the right
...huh
looks like you have an upscale mod
i'm only running shaders right now and it's still there when i turn them off
probably then
Can I do Hall of the Novice the moment I hit 15 or do I have to reach that point in MSQ
just gotta get to 15!

is there a command for a blue mage guide here?
!faq bluguide
May or may not be updated
where can i download the launcher for free to play players? i can never find it and the normal launcher keeps telling me i am not allowed to use it
!faq freetrial
thanks
Hey guys. For the ‘A New Path of Resistance’ relic quest, can you swap to a different job while running PotD? Seems a waste to miss out on exp if I’m farming anyway
Yes
Sweet, thanks Vinyl
where is a good place for my BLU to farm chocobo challenge?
Do I suck at the game or is stone vigil fucking hard compared to other dungeons
I just need some validation lol
uhh are you trying to solo it? o_o
Was a healer lol with randos
yeah its hard to say, maybe your tank pulls without cooldowns or something
but its not meant to be hard
Super eyes ultimate right eye vision
I ran out of mana twice only stopped when I asked
Nearly shifted myself at the second dragon cuz I couldn't even cast aero
🤣
did you remember to use Lucid Dreaming?
you mean your tank kept pulling without breaks?
But people kept dying so i panicked lol
they were prob new
So it wasn't completely my fault? Most dungeons they just charge through didn't think anything of it
if they kept getting hit then thats their fault
Lucid is the plus mana right and presence reduces the mana
I get the two confused lol
!action presence of mind
just increases speed
I should be abusing that wtf
You get Thin Ar which scratches all MP costs for a bit.
lucid regens mana and thin air completely negates mana use
but later
No
i do not understand the crystarium dol quests, i looked online but all of the guides seem out of date
cause it mentions stuff thats been patched out
You fly to a location, then gather the items
why is it asking me for other type items and not like, bot items
Because Miner and Botanist shares the same quest line
There are 5 Crystarium doh/l quest lines
Fisher is 1
Miner/Botanist is 1
Is the botanist questline any good i thinking of doing it lol
i couldnt tell you i skip every cutscene
It's okay
Oh, you meant the whole thing?
I have no answer
The crystarium miner/Botanist quest line is okay
I remember bits and pieces of Stormblood
Don't remember anything on Heavensward or ARR botanist quest line
I liked the botanist quests more than the mining quests
Question
Does Daily Leveling Roulette reset if you switch jobs or is it a per-character thing
Roulette bonuses apply once per day per character.
I am the big sad ;_;

hey all dose any one know if Yellow-pommed Moogle Cap have an ability if so please tell me or at me
@native flume you buy it from mog station
yes i want to dose it have exp boots
no
i have the red cap i was hopeing that its had the exp boots for my gf she is starting ff14 soon
if you give her your referral code she can get a headpiece that gives an exp boost
yes i going to have to ask her in the morning
also doing hall of the novice gives an exp boosting ring
i know
i wish the earing was still out
do you think rune fencer is going to be the DPS?
Unless I'm mistaken every quest that Halls of the Novice gives you should come with a piece of gear, no?
how to interact with cushion minion?
no idea what the dps is going to be
I think it is because we need something like the opposite of the red mage closing attack far away magical ability.
there is no interaction
its just a prop
@remote lintel what you think ?
probably a scythe class like what everyone else is speculating
so does it matter which one I join?
I have a question. For the new relic weapon step where I can get memories from critical engagements do I have to go into the engagement as the job I am grinding relic for or doesn't matter?
does it affect PVP because you're going to be with people who are in the same three gc
idk all i know u can do75% outside
It doesn't affect pvp, in pvp you join random gc
in pvp youre randomly put in one of the 3 gc
@gray umbra it is about aesthetic and convenience. Flame has is the most convenient cuz they base next to the teleporter. Storm has pirate-like glam. Serpent has nice looking weapon.
doesnt matter but drop rate is piss poor, dont expect them from every one
ah ok thanks @plain python
Is it bad equiette to a que dungeon that you did accidentally
what
To leave*
no but you'll get a penalty if you're the first one to leave
Is it bad?
it locks you out of DF for 30 mins
Is ffxiv geared saved in computer and not chara based
I downloaded ffxiv on laptop and when I login my chara doesn't have gearset
Actually no ui setting too...
you need to upload your system settings and character settings to the cloud on your other computer
and then download them from the cloud on your laptop
its on the character creation screen
How long is Garuda wait noonrs joining lol
Oh I haven't uploaded
r u dps?
So I guess none of that for me
Healer
weird
No dps or tank
i can run w u but id chat w u elsewhere to avoiid cloggingqna
So im doing the unto the truth quest in shadow brings and it wants to say Feo UI in chat but absolutely nothing happens
Did you select "say"
yes
did you type in "/" before saying feo ul, and did u type it word by word (incl. capitals)?
typing "/" is wrong btw

So does anyone here use the ff xiv collect website?
what about it
How to make the rest of my collectables appear on my profile? All it shows is my mounts, minions and achievements. It shows nothing else
i think it only tracks mounts minions and achievements
No I seen people’s profiles display music rolls, blu Magic, hair, etc
it only shows those 3 for me
If I'm less than a thousand exp away from 15 and my next MSQ is offering me daggers but the daggers I'll get from my class quest are gonna be better should I just go do a hunt log real quick or do the MSQ and take the pieces that sell for 100 gil instead of daggers
Or take the daggers
just take the daggers from your class quest
@remote lintel someone has their profile like this
it might be tied to their privacy settings on lodestone
I tried to mess with those and set it to public but nothing changed. I guess I’ll shoot the one who runs the site a question about it
@turbid mural did you verify your character?
Yeah
I’ll just have to ask them.
you have to manually add most of that stuff
Is Rampart something I use off cooldown
Where do you add it though?
Oh yeah quick question
no reason to use it when there's nothing to mitigate to be fair
when youre fighting something obv
select each specific type of thing
My MRD is at 17 and I noticed at 18 I get a role action that 'interrupts target's action', what's the difference between that and Low Blow where I stun the target and interrupt whatever it's doing
So I can use the Lv 18 role action and interrupt bosses in dungeons?
if the cast bar is flashing
yes
basically how the site works is that it takes the minion/achievement/mount info from lodestone
and lodestone doesn't track the rest of that stuff
so you ahve to do the rest by hand
Stupid question: Does ARC have a lot of instant-cast abilities like my MRD and ROG do right now or is it a bunch of channeled ones
yes
most physical dps are instant
only a few skills are channeled
like mch flamethrower
Alright what's the difference between free destination and favored destination
free is free
Every time or how does that work
every time
Hi all. New person here. I am based in UK. The world I chose seems to be mainly German-speaking in chat, and I don't understand it and don't like interrupting the flow in English (because I can tell people switch to help me and then the chat is in two languages). Due to my own language inadequacy, this is distracting for me (i'm a dumb Brit who is monolingual/conversational Spanish). What are the things that would stop me wanting to transfer to a NA data center/world? Is it lag type thing, and how can I check that? Time zone/population I guess would be a thing too but I play at all hours. Are there EU worlds that are only/mainly in English? I'm coming from WoW which was all English in the EU servers (by culture I suppose...) - with a dash of Russian.
(Another reason is I wanted to join Faerie due to its LGBT population I have read about, but that may not be feasible for reasons above.)
Are we allowed to ask about ffxiv songs here
yes
You're telling me I could've just set Limsa as a free destination and then teleported back and forth for free
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsVEs2M7nHM&list=LL&index=1&t=17s what song is playing here?
自分の作業中に聞こうと思って作りました。フラクタルのBGMに似ていますがどこかのIDで流れるんですかね?(メインクエID以外未開放マン)
追記 曲名分かったのでタイトルを変更しました。

@winged fossil are you on shiva?
yes
thats why
typically the smart move is to set limsa as a return point, and the most recent hub/aetheryte as a free destination
shiva is the unofficial german world
!status shiva
all worlds except shiva and moogle are english
Oh
oh
so just dont pick shiva or moogle
ok so shiva isn't preferred atm
cerberus i think has english speakers
i think
so as long as your character is longer than 3 days old
all of them except shiva or moogle have english speakers
you could pay for a transfer
So since I just went to Moraby Drydocks I should set that as a free destination when I go back?
shiva and moogle still have english speakers
but they're moreso predominantly french/german
theyre majority german and french tho
Okay, thanks, I think I misunderstood whatever I read when I was doing my initial research.
no for example i personally set the most recent endgame hub as my free, and limsa as my return so i don't have to pay 1k gold to travel between expansion regions. but how you set it is up to you
And are NA centers as an EU player feasible, or technically not viable? Ping-wise (not sure what ping actually is...lag?)
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
wow thanks haha
if youre in EU just play in EU?
ping is essentially the amount of time it takes for your computer to send a packet of data to a place and back
I mean I'm at Lv 12 MSQ on Primal right now
then dw too much about free destinations
or you could set limsa as both the return and the free until you leave to elsewhere
Can you set regional Aetherytes (Middle La Noscea, for example) as a free destination? Or does it have to be a main city Aetheryte like Limsa
pretty sure thats fine
Also I'm apparently getting messaged on Primal by the supposed owner of the Little Flower FC
what is the difference between duty roulette 80 and expert?
different dungeons
you can ignore/decline them if you don't want to join them
Channy I don't know who they are
expert is the 2 most recent dungeons
then ignore them haha
they're probably just after the numbers for recruitment
if no then ignore
oh so difference on difficulty or something like that?
ah ok
While 80 roulette is all of the other level 80 dungeons that are not the two most recent.
do u guys have gear progression for level 80? lets say i just hit 80, which equipment should i aim for now
probably the strongest equipment is eden savage related but obviously i couldnt get one atm so ._.
!faq gearguide
alright thanks~
where can i find my dlc code in steam?
if theyre sending out random invites thats usually how it is
What do riding maps do exactly?
Mount ground speed increase. Has no effect on flying speed.
Huh, seems kinda pointless then.
they were usefull in arr before we got flying but now it's a waste to get them
They're kind of nice for those who haven't unlocked flight in a given zone but, yeah, flight makes them mostly obsolete.
What's the earliest you can get flying mount
This weak choxobo doesnt
All mounts can fly. Flight in ARR zones is unlocked after the second level 50 dungeon.
later expansions need you to do msq, some sidequests and finding currents on the map
Since the guide just says where things are obtained, for a fresh 80 i would recommend crafted 510 set if gil is abundant, or 490 tome armor and 510 crafted weapon and then get upgrades with current tome and eden 9-12 norm (budget option)
Is NIN's throwing attack as useless as SAM's Enji
Is it useless enough that I can toss it off my skillbar or should I keep it
Don't remember the name
Its a niche thing when want to keep on dpsing but cant be at max melee. Would toss it
Not having it on your hotbar is fine
Why in the fuck does a class that uses a freaking polearm have a throwing attack
Also thanks to your comment I've remembered that LNC exists
Is LNC/DRG a positional-heavy dps class?
Drg eventually requires positionals to proc an upgraded skill but the world wont end if positionals are ignored
fuck me NIN has 3 positionals?
technically 2.5
Does that mean I'll get True North later on
because only 2 gcds are positional
Aoelin edge, Armor crush, and Trick Attack
Should get true north automatically as melee role skill
Positional are more damage if you nail them
But never delay your skill to nail Positional
trick will at least go off now even if you miss the positional

hey
so
the game is on sale on square enix
but not on steam
so can i buy it on square enix
and play on steam
nope
Nope
Steam service accounts are locked to steam and can't have steam +stand alone license (for pc)
yes
if i have the stand alone licenese
oh okay
cool
so
if i buy it through square enix
i can play with friends on steam
yes
Yes
okay ty
Even people on PS4
if you already have the game on steam youll need to make an entirely new account
We all are playing together
hello guys, need some advice on where to get this hairstyle, does anyone know? 😦
its default iirc
oh i see, so it is race specific then
yes
😦 awww, thx a lot Cerb
okay so another question
If i bought it on square enix
can i still buy game time through steam using my steam wallet
no
pain
Iirc that hairstyle isnt even race specific
i dont think fem roes have it
Nah they do ive seen it on them before
Actually
Maybe its a different ponytail
Hm...
they have a wavy ponytail
except viera 
This ^
Goes without saying 
Is it possible to use PC made characters on ps5 if i purchase the licences for the dlc?
Yes
If you have both licenses registered to your account then you can play the same character on both systems.
Full crossplay.
Thank you
can hoth and vier wear the new vday hat?
Hmm... the shop doesn't say yes or no, so I'm not sure?
What I want to know is, is there a difference between the three colors? It all appears to be dyable and dyes in the same way.
so i was given some new armor which hs a hood that means i can't wear a hat. i hd chosen to not show the hat because it looked silly, but this hood is awful. is there. way or not showing the hood/cowl?
There's no way to show the chest piece without the hood. However, if you glamour over the chest piece with something else, that would work
Should I pick up a third class because fuck it I gain enough exp to anyways with Road to 70 or just stick to MRD/WAR + ROG/NIN
No. On the bright side, armor that does that is very rare, and past ARR it's nonexistent.

that's really up to you
if you can if you can keep it leveled, why not?
hey guys - im a new player level 13 is it good idea to join a guild/clan or whatever they are in this game?
well if you're on a trial account you can't iirc, but if you're on a standard account, sure, at the very least you'll get the xp bonus in most FCs
Sure, no downside to joining a Free Company
and no commitment either. You can leave anytime if it's not your jam
nic eone - nahi bought the full game - how do i join one would be ncie to get exps 😄
can either check the community finder website to find a big FC then find a member ingame, examine them and you can apply to their FCs, or just shout in limsa or ask in novice network to get invited to a random one
Wait FCs have an exp boost?
i didn't know that either
how do i ask in novice network? 😄
A Mentor has to invite you to it if I'm not mistaken
so should i be joingin guild of smiths or culinarians, and marauders etc?
i feel overwhelmed.
What class are you
how do i find a menotr 😄
You could probably ask in main chat
Go to one of the major cities and /shout LF invite to Novice Network
Try Limsa for it if you're starting out
Limsa/Uldah/New Gridania
Huge player hub around the Aetheryte because market board
okay cheers
What class and level are you and what level is your MSQ
Random question. I just unlocked command missions with my GC. I know a lot of people use it for leveling, but could I also spam them to level up my squadron members?
arcanist, level 18, MSQ High Society (just been invited to a dinner with the admiral...)
also, a releif that the hooded tops can be transmog
Glamoured
the hooded armors are only during ARR, they don't make them anymore after that
Can you travel to Gridania and Ul'dah yet? And lastly are you on a preferred world
i am on Shiva but i want to switch maybe. But i think if i switch to a preferred world, i don't start getting the exp bonus as that seems only for new creation.
haven't left la noscea so don't think can travel
Yeah you'd have to make a new char
i can't face that
having come fomr endgame wow the start of these missions is a bit slow (to be expected)...and I am getting used to new fashions.
first class yes.
Then the answer to your original question is 
i wasn't sure if i wanted to be a healer or dps
Don't pick up another class at least until you have to slog your way through post-ARR
be a healer dps then
WHM is green dps
ok that seems sensible.
