oak spindle
just got level 80 bot/min, what gear should i buy?
surreal rapids
you can buy gear at the crystarium, but no accessories
you can use white seals and complement your vendor gear with accessories
at eulmore
open coral
You've got at least 7 months before the expansion comes out, so plenty of time anyways.

this is not a grind per say. this is standard MMORPG leveling.
strange coral
just got level 80 bot/min, what gear should i buy?
You can buy Landsaint gear with white scripin Eulmore, or buy(MB)/craft Aesthete gear
oak spindle
how do i get white scrips?
oak spindle
ah i see
forest sage
also custom deliveries
surreal rapids
you can use yellows to buy folklore tomes
forest sage
the ShB ones especially give a lot of white scrips, bonus is 200 per turn in
surreal rapids
those are important, also at eulmore
surreal rapids
you should do the weekly quests at the beehive in eulmore for a large chunk of seals
marble drift
weekly deliveries are also in the Ishgard resto area
surreal rapids
get all the collectible at 600, that gives you the best rewards
dont bother collecting 6, do 3 because after that you'll get a cutscene and the requested items will be different

Hi, I have an issue. Each time I try to play FFXIV this message pops up, it was working fine yesterday when I logged off but now it's suddenly doing this. I have the correct version of DirectX so it shouldn't be doing this.
robust crow
are there any kinds of free game time for new players?
a friend is starting and I'm trying to figure out if this is outdated or not
marble drift
30 days for buyng the game
granite zephyr
how do I switch my characters home world?
faint flare
Its accurate
delicate field
marble drift
how do I switch my characters home world?
permanenlty? pay for it
faint flare
how do I switch my characters home world?
Home world transfer on Mogstation
marble drift
otherwise. the world visit system
robust crow
but why would free game time matter if they don't own the full game
granite zephyr
and also what does "legacy" mean when it's displayed in front of a home world, like what is the difference
faint flare
If they brought the game and not on trial
remote lintel
because if they bought the game they would get 45 days instead of 30

Literally nothing for new players
open ember
and also what does "legacy" mean when it's displayed in front of a home world, l...
Legacy means the server has been there since 1.0
granite zephyr
alright
open ember
It doesn't mean anything for new players so ignore it
You'll always wanna look at "Preferred" status
For a new player
open ember
They'll update the server status again in April for 5.5
For now, they are the same status

Is the Novice Network you enter the one of your home server, not the one of the server you are visiting, right?
I mean, suddenly in the NN a message from another server appeared, and that never happens
worthy rain
NN is cross server?
twilit arch
if you world visit, you will be put into that world's NN assuming you are in NN
faint flare
Its within the server but ^
worthy rain
How then a message from Odin appeared then in Twintania's NN?
faint flare
They world visited
twilit arch
and are world visiting to twintania
worthy rain
Ok thanks for the info 👍
I though that the server name appearing after the person name, is where the person is
At the moment
I mean in party finder you see it (the server), but meaning they are there
On the contrary in the NN, is must be world visit
remote lintel
the flower just means the home world
remote lintel
not where they are at an exact moment
worthy rain
Ok, so it just indicates the home server, not where they are in the dc
Thanks for commenting 👍

Catch up? You mean same level?
If you are in prefered, you always will be overleveled

but if you get the free trial you can play unlimited till level 60. you can buy the code now and apply it to your acount later

A public cros server chat would be huge

Each NN is different because only certain number of people are allowed there at single time
So datacenter wide would be. Much
Too many people talking at once

Exactly as it sounds. Posing your character for the purpose of screenshots. The external program cmtools provides more fine tuning options and control

open coral
You aren't guaranteed sacks from either PotD or HoH.
twilit patrol

Nope
Its a grindfest
You'll just have to keep doing it for loot
Some runs you'll get sacks, some you wont

For blu? Thats from the final boss of t1 yes

Devour is when it eats a slime

I usually keep an eye on the battle tab for the cast
open ember
Imo not really
HoH loot is better to me
But some palace loot can be worth quite a bit
twilit patrol
heaven on high ?

The good loot in Potd is floor 151+
open ember
Its when you start getting gold sacks is when the stuff becomes pricey
faint flare
Which is fixed party only
twilit patrol
ooooof
manic flare
i just do it for exp , are the loot even worth it
most of the good loot from PotD are glamour items
which sell quite well on marketboard
but the drop rate for those is pretty low

51 -60
Spam it over and over
Don't start from 1 unless you're grinding aetherpool at early levels
dire prawn
So once I unlock PotD play through it to get 51-60 unlocked and then farm that over and over again
open ember
Its monotonous but its effective
Yes
Also bear in mind exp boosts do not apply to PotD like food (at least not that I remember)
open coral
But that is Boring, and if you have a healer or tank friend, there are better ways to level dps.

When constructing ascension decks, should I put all my cards into one archetype (probably primal or beastman) or spread them out slightly based on the enemy NPC's distribution? F.e if they have a scion card, I should also include one to leech a +1 off their card?

Depends on the other rules for the match.

unrelated to ff14, but is their such a thing as a triple traid standalone ff game

your healer is level 71 but you only have level 47 stuff?
maybe im misinterpreting something here

your healer is level 71 but you only have level 47 stuff?
They're in ARR still
Unless I read wrong

They won't have access to scaevan for a long while
open coral
It's very possible (but grindy) to hand-level a job to 70 in ARR.
dire prawn
And they're on Goblin which means they had Road to 70

no i just looked ahead <@!273919648511033356>
yea dont worry about scavean then

the ilevel 90 gear from your level 50 class quest

So you have to beat Praetorium to get access to Ironworks gear?

You don't start getting poetics tomes until you reach those two instances at the end of ARR.

The level cap won't be going up for like, 6 or 7 months yet, when the expansion comes out.

also i have no idea how you are level 71 already
when you are still around 3/4 way through ARR
you must have been grinding a ton

Depends on what dungein and when you did it. If its just a roulette and not for msq. You'll be placed back where you were. If it completes a quest objective often the game will put you where the next objective needs you to be

ah ok. i am waiting outside tam-tara deepcroft for my MSQ but wondering if i should head off across to ul'dah and then limsa to finsh some stuff, or is it just gonna pull me back here

sorry for all my questions lol

If you're doing the first three dungeons for the MSQ it's gonna plop you right back outside them iirc

sorry for all my questions lol
wait so do you have scaevan gear?
if so, you should equip it

because it's gonna last you all the way to stormblood

Stupid question, but where can I find training dummies to practice Lv 50 SAM rotations before I try to do these last two dungeons in ARR
I don't remember ever seeing any in the main cities so I don't know where they are

Summerford farms has lv1 dummies

They changed that recently

how do i log off?
Just close the launcher
manic flare
right i know for scaevan u can have two, but distinctly remember i couldn't buy more than one shire ring of the same type
green grail
logging into the launcher doesn't really do anything
i guess it checks for active sub and game updates but that's it
open coral
You can get two Ironworks rings of the same type now.

I just got to that point recently on an alt.

If im playing the trial and im playing a char and then i buy the complete edition, can i keep on playing that char?

afaik there isn't really anywhere that keeps track of specific server populations.

if i have a character on one world, does my friend have to be that world aswell?

If you don't care about being in the same guild, you and your friend only have to be on the same datacenter in order to play together.
delicate field
when the next DLC is released, will buying it also grant shadowbringers?
remote lintel
yes
open coral
Probably.
remote lintel
it will have stormblood shadowbringers and endwalker
green grail
there's no confirmation but we can.. extrapolate the data from last 2 expansions and say Probably
open coral
^
green grail
as for stormblood i could see it go either way, free trial or still expansion-purchase gated
dire prawn
In AoE situations as SAM, is it worth opening up with the two single-target combos first for the buffs, or should I go straight into the AoE combos?
faint flare
Yes
Put the buffs up while running
Then You'll never drop them unless there's long time between packs
dire prawn
Cause the AoEs refresh them right
delicate field
my friend has the two previous DLC's, do you think it could take him up to 6 months to progress from scratch into shadowbringers?
remote lintel
no
faint flare
No
open coral
No
delicate field
ahh, guess he'll have to buy it now then lol
faint flare
Depending how distracted you get and how much you skip, you can do the whole story in a few weeks to a month
green grail
buy the expansion when you're 1 level short of the trial/base game level cap
faint flare
Playtime depending
whole locust
is it better that i do shb msq with npcs or players
remote lintel
whatever you want
twilit arch
doesn't matter
whole locust
ah k
twilit arch
with npcs you get a bit of extra dialogue
little swift
if you want the story immersion trusts are fine
twilit arch
but ultimately the difference is how long the dungeon will take
little swift
but they'll be slower pace than players
whole locust
so faster is with players
twilit arch
yes
whole locust
sounds good to me
faint flare
Npcs also help teach mechanics most as they do majority of them correctly
remote lintel
except when they get turned into frogs

I always say how many runs i have left
So if i get it in the end then its ok
Because i warned them im leaving
manic flare

is there any penalty for trust npc dying in duty?
open coral
No
robust crow
honestly if you've been there for a decent amount of time I wouldn't care if you left as soon as you got the mount
like if we've been farming for like 2 hours and you've been the whole time
it's those people who join for 1 run, shitter the mount, and dip that annoy people
remote lintel
i usually stay for 2-3 more rounds unless i got the mount fast

How do you do dungeons with npcs

Hello. I just joined the discord and I have a quick question. Where is the class specific thread? I chose my roles, yet I see nothing for them.

They have not (yet) added the trust system to older expansions, although I recall YoshiP mentioning that it might happen at sometime in the future.

We have role lounges instead of class lounges

Ah, I see. Thank you! Follow-up question. Can I only choose 1 role at a time?

Hmm. That's odd then. I only see the healer role. I don't see ranged dps. I'll check again. Thanks everyone!

So, I decided to get that ACT thing. I was wondering how to get the "Kagerou" overlay set up, as I am not very experienced with any of this kind of stuff.

Is your weapon currently at Zenith or Atma?
obsidian patio
And your weapon is Zenith? I’m only asking because he can say different things depending on which option you choose.
But if your weapon is at Zenith then follow what your picture says and complete fates in the zones listed in the quest “Up in Arms”
If your weapon is at Atma then head to Mor Dhona and talk to G’jusana slightly northeast of the aetheryte to buy one of 9 books to work on completing all of those.

Alright
Two questions
Question One: What quest is 'Before the Dawn'? I need it to keep doing my WHM job quests
gentle burrow
Just curious, how much gil do most people have? Just trying to get a feel for what’s normal. I have 12 million and no idea if that’s a lot or just average
remote lintel
@dire prawn the last quest of post ARR iirc
remote lintel
@gentle burrow depends if theyre a crafter or not
if not a crafter, maybe a couple million

Question 2: Does Iajutsu interrupt SAM combos?

Hey everyone, i just bought FF14 and cant wait to try it out!! i legit havent read much about anything yet but for leveling, would doing the main story quest be my best bet ? im in no rush and just want to learn about the game at the moment.

everything in the game is story locked so

the main story is mandatory for everything else in the game

it's amazing
dire prawn
when i figured out the R2-->L2 and L2-->R2 thing the game changed for me
Same but I'm coming from WHM where damage requires all of two buttons ;_;
Damage from SAM requires eight buttons including Meikyo Shisui, 7 without for single-target dps and five buttons for AoE at 50 ;_;
remote lintel
thats like average for a dps
a basic combo in this game is 123
samurai has two 123 combos and a 12 combo
it can seem like a lot but its really not that confusing when you learn it

i had to play around with the hotbars to figure out where i wanted the buttons w/ my main class (dragoon) but it started to become really natural after a while

You'll get used to it eventually
dire prawn
Is it Hakaze > Jinpu > Gekko that gives you the speed buff for doing everything faster or Hakaze > Shifu > Kasha?
crystal bluff
Shifu
dire prawn
So Hakaze > Shifu > Kasha should be my opening rotation right
dire prawn
Cause what I'm trying to do as an opener is Hakaze > Shifu > Kasha > Hakaze > Jinpu > Higanbana > Gekko > Meikyo > Kasha > Yukikaze > Midare > Yukikaze and then just keep rotating through the single-target rotations until Higanbana wears off and then repeat the cycle
A what
crystal bluff
crystal bluff
gives you 50 kenki
crystal bluff
ah
dire prawn
you use gekko after midare
I was thinking Yukikaze since Gekko and Kasha rotations refresh the buffs
remote lintel
you use yukikaze in your cooldown phase
crystal bluff
is it bad that after like 500 hours of sam i still dont know the names of most of the skills
dire prawn
Cause Meikyo is three charges no? Or is it two
dire prawn
What cooldown
remote lintel
crystal bluff
its what you do after your opener
and then you do your filler, which depends on what sks tier you play at
and then you start over again at your opener
remote lintel
you dont need to refresh the gekko combo that early

Okay so Shifu > Kasha is the opening combo and not Jinpu > Gekko right?
remote lintel
yes
dire prawn
Alright
I almost started practicing with Gekko combo first 
Fuck me I messed it up again
But now that my hotbar is fixed this might flow easier
Aura showed me hers and gave me the idea to just throw the entire single-target combo on my R2 hotbar for Set 1
