Also I don't know if dying a red one blue makes it looks exactly like that blue. I can't check at the moment.
ninja is not complicated
Hello, can someone tell me if the blade of Lost Antiquity is still locked weekly or did they removed it when 5.45 came out ? (unlikely but i just want to be sure)
the rotation is easier than sam imo
its still weekly locked
it came out in 5.4 why would they unlock it like 1 patch later
no idea just asking you never know, but ty anyway
Still locked
can someone link that guide to level alts plz?
!faq altlvlguide
Wait I actually got that command right
lol. thx
do you get to choose between multiple things at lvl 30 as arcanist, and if so, can you level both of them or is the choice "permanent"?
Once you hit 30 and can get a job stone you can pick either SMN or SCH, and they both level up at the same time
Leveling up as SCH levels SMN and vice versa
so I can't switch between SCH and SMN?
You can.
You can
What I'm saying is that no matter which one you pick the other one's going to level up with it
You just have to do two separate job questlines.
ohh, okay
it's a weird job split that they haven't repeated
Do you think they'll ever fix it to where ACN becomes SMN and another class becomes SCH?
Or leave it as is
no
leave it as is
they wont fix it
there's 0 reason to spend resources on that
Hey does anyone know roughly how much free company housing costs?
!faq housing
depends on the size of the house
ty
theres no difference between fc houses and personal houses
oh ok that's good, thanks guys :3
I finally did the opener correctly for once
Then I messed it up when Higanbana was about to wear off ;_;
what does the Max thing in brackets mean?
max number of points
so the spell speed will raise by 6, not 7?
a maximum of 6 points
oh so 7% of my spell speed is 6?
at that level you REALLY should be ignoring food stats.
no
lemme be clear.
it will take 7% of your spell speed
get the exp boost and quit worrying about food stats til youre 80
oh up to a max of 6
gotcha
is anyone using the ff14 app? I just installed and I recive a ton of notifications and there is a lot of people on the list that I dont know is that normal?
just get some good ole fashioned boiled eggs off a vendor and have at er
nope, dont use it sorry.
I installed it and had no notifications
If you're in a linkshell, it will show those people on the social tab of the app
Does anyone have a visual guide for what SAM's AoE rotation would look like at 50? Is it just the Shifu > Kasha and Jinpu > Gekko combos while moving into Tenka Goken, then start spamming the AoEs with Tenka Goken when I have both Sen?

I redeemed my Complete Edition code but it didn't give me Stormblood or Shadowbringers.. Do I have to do something or just contact support?
And I did triple check that it indeed said I would get all the expansions
where did you buy it from
and you only got 1 code?
yeh, I'll check again
also maybe a dumb question but are you sure your receipt says "complete edition" and not "starter edition"
Ye no worries. Looking at the confirmation email it says "Online Complete Edition [PC Download]
just a sec
@raven karma were you previously on the free trial?
yeh
I'm figuring out the rotation for Lv 50 SAM 
when I was on the free trial, then bought the game. it didn't unlock shadowbringers until an hour or two later, when i started the launcher it downloaded an additional 20gb
Okay, might be that (also Im in no hurry as still in shadowbringers, the 300k gil cap just started annoy :P)
if you go to mognet, does it show little circles next to all dlc?
mm no
can you screenshot it
^
wow that is odd
And here it does say complete (and with the pic showing 'em all :P)
i would ask in #technology-discussion
Oh, whoops! Thanks.
Hi! Im doing free trial on steam, if i buy the complete game from SE website (its 50% off now) would it work on my steam?
okay I found my issue with the code thing... I had another code saved to my PC and I thouhgt it was the Complete edition, but instead it was some old starter edition code from 2019
And now I can't use the complete edition code to upgrade heh
what does this game have any pvp?
It's locked away on its own island but iirc you do unlock it through msq
There's people out there who get so bored of PvE that they use PvP to level their jobs
Ah my mistake
More specifically, it's your second or third blue quest from your GC
Yeah, but whats the game modes for the pvp?
I believe the quest to unlock PvP follows after My Little Chocobo
frontline is a 72 man king of the hill mode iirc
rival wings is like a watered down moba
"A pup no longer" (unlocks feasts/pvp as a whole) > "Like Civilized Men and Women" (unlocks frontlines) > "earning your wings" (unlocks rival wings)
the feast is 4v4 competitive
first two are gotten from your gc hq
what is the best crafting rotation ?
third is from inside wolves' den
Entirely dependent on what you’re making and what your stats are
There’s no “single best” rotation that works for everything
However for everything at and below level 70 you can use Trained Eye > Groundwork and that completes it most of the time
So I apparently have a small problem? I decided to level a tank for the first time, went into Hall of Novice, and it started me on the second mission...so I'm missing my gauntlets quest reward. Is there some way to get those back? I really like the Hall outfits for transmog =/
Rerun the exercises
Oh, you can do them again? Thank you ❤️
I'm leveling my first crafter job and i'm struggling at some quest
Yep
I encountered the same thing when I hit 15 on NIN and went to do my Halls of the Novice quests
Quest which asks me to craft hq gear
and FYI many items in the game share appearances with something else - while this isn't ingame like WoW, you can check it easily on sites like garlandtools https://garlandtools.org/db/#item/14032
#doh-dol-lounge has a pin for rotations you can use when leveling.
That's good to know also. Of course I'm only level 15 so the gauntlets would be nice to have regardless 😛
Do I have to do all the quests to be able to pick an earlier one?
Oh yes thank you :D
You can freely do the previous exercises whenever
Oh. Then I'm going to be really stupid and ask how...I don't see the option
How much do you think Endwalker will be price wise (plus it's kinda dumb that the complete edition isn't complete anymore, but oh well)
Duty > hall of the novice > display completed exercises
I mean like, brand new
$40 for standard, $60 for complete digital or collector’s digital
oh, nice. Glad to be wrong
And probably like $180-$200 for physical collector’s edition
How does one make a new account? If one has an existing account? Do I have to use a whole nother user?
Add a new service account on the mogstation
How?
I just got to SHB! is there anything important to unlock or work on before I continue with MSQ? also is there any gear I should get before using lvl 80 gear? I'm currently using Scaevan gear at lvl 70+

I'm guessing complete digital just has some bonus items, the DLC is just an add on that gives the story and more quests (and I haven't played FF14 yet, I'm waiting until I get a PS5)
It’s a button on the my account section near the top
I got Complete edition for 30 bucks when it was on sale, so suddenly getting a new DLC dropped is jarring
You’re good gear wise and content wise for the most part.
We’re still several months away from being able to actually preorder the expansion, and even more from being able to play it
So it really depends on how stingy you are with your money
I'll probably hold out until I beat the last "current" expansion
Current to me cause I have almost everything until I don't eventually
Progression-wise, do I start using lvl 80 gear when I hit lvl 80 or do I need to completely SHB before lvl 80 gear is unlocked?
If you don’t buy crafted gear then you’ll need to wait
This is an utter "never played the game" but
generally speaking, is it worth to buy some of that crafted gear when I'm 80 or nah?
I haven't spent any money on the market so far
Is there a fashion gear thing? Like, cosmetic gear over the actual armor so idk, I can get Tidus clothes and look cool without having weird armor
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
This
Unless you cap before finishing the story for a few days and do roulettes you wont have many tomes when you finished
what lvl 80 crafted gear should I be looking at? not sure what ilvl gear I should be searching for
thanks!
well, for gear you're going to use at any rate
gear for glamour and housing items can do whatever
hq also applies to food you're using for stats
never, never go NQ unless you really don't give a fuck with progress gear and stat food
or like, don't have an option of course
@obsidian patio says I need a new registration code?
Yep. Service accounts are basically new accounts entirely
They just let you use the same square enix account for logging in
In one service account, not on the new one
youre making a new account
So.. I have to buy the game again?
yes
Yup
Not sure I can do that digitally?
What platform are you?
Ps4
do you have the game on pc
if you want to play on pc you just buy it for pc you dont need a new account
One of the purchases specifically is for another service account
For fast level 50-70 alt jobs,i do highest level dungeons , fates and hunt board right ?
can you send gil from one character to another?
Not directly.
you need a third person
You’ll need a middle man at some point
K... so quick question. If I buy shadowbringer do I get all the previous ones?
yes
yeah, one of my alts has a ton of gil i want on my catboy
The easiest way is to have them be in the same FC and use an FC chest
Assuming the same server
which menu do you go to to choose a title?
So new to the game and I am past level 25, I was wondering how to join a player guild, I can't find the option to anywhere
you can put trash up for sale on the marketboard for the amount of money you want and have your other character buy it @civic spoke
Character > Character > Profile @delicate field
I assume complete edition is if u dont have none
I think that if you have a mannequin (and a house) you can do that alone
@gray umbra you need to be invited
that button was so tiny lol
is the community finder in game?
Got a question.. do I get free version if I buy the collectors edition?
you get the starter edition and shadowbringers
I want the free "trial"
You can't go back to that
if you buy the game youre not on trial
😭
Once you purchased the game
after the code is applied you can never go back to the trial
Unless you make another account i guess
you can play the trial with a new account
but once you buy the game
you are not on trial
So if I already have game.. but wanted to start over I have to purchase $20 new account? But that may or may not work?
No you have to pay the monthly sub if you own the game
if you make a new account and you want to play the full game you need to buy it again
^ FFXIV is meant to be "free to try", not "free to play"
The trial is to see if you like it enough to pay for it, as soon as you give them your money you’re basically saying ‘Yeah I’m impressed, this is worth paying for’
And if you just want to start all over again for some reason
You can just make another character
I have like 1 hr of play time over 4 years ago..
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Doesn’t change things really
Sumbitch back to eso... I just don't have time to invest in the sub at the moment wanted to wet my toes a lil bit but o well
You can either play through 2.0-3.5 and take your time then pay for a new license, or pay the monthly sub on your old account
then you can make a new account and play the trial
but if you want to upgrade that account to the full game you need to pay
New email: make a new account in the free trial, play until you get to stormblood, then buy the complete edition when you have time
This is what I'm trying to figure out how to do👆
make a new account
need to use a different email address
You don't know how to make a new account?
Have a new square Enix account ✔
So I gotta buy the new account access from the store ?
NO
Don’t buy anything if you want a trial
why are casual coffers cheaper than all the stuff in them?
how much is marketboard tax?
Because people are smart
I bought casual coffer for 2.5m because I wanted the shoes, sold the jacket for 2.5m and kept the shorts in case I wanted them later
Winner
i got this game for free via twitch a few years back (base game up to stormblood). if i want to buy the 'complete collector's edition' for all the extra content up to shadowbringers can i apply that to my existing pc license?
if you buy shadowgrounds for 20 bucks it'll include previous dlc as well
save 10 bucks
if you already have everything up to stormblood you dont need the complete
you only need shadowbringers
including all old collector's edition content?
thank you this guide is so useful 😍
you can buy collectors edition stuff at any time on the mog station website
yes, but it's more expensive than the 'complete collector's edition'
idk if it will work if you already own the base game
It won’t
Or at least it didn’t when I did the same thing when shadowbringers came out
afaik it would only work if you're buying for a platform you don't own it on
i.e own in pc, buy complete collector's for ps4
For ref my sister had ARR and HW on PC, skipped stormblood, bought her the complete edition and it wouldn’t register because ARR was already licensed
i only got to level 15 thaumaturge
Licenses are stiff I’m afraid, if you were on a trial that’s fine, if you received an actual license then you’re out of luck as such. A new account is the better option, trial even better if you’re limited on play time as the story will take you a couple months or so if playing casually
Level 15 these days is about 2/3 hours or so into it
The free trial is approx 200 hours of story stuff
thanks, that's quite a bit
my options seem to be shadowbringers 14.99 on sale, complete collector's 34.99 on sale with new account (UK prices)
i have the base game up to stormblood yeah
i dont think the complete collectors edition will work on your account
is there no point to keeping mettle after rank 15?
because you already own the base game
yeah, i would just start a new account since it's super low level anyway
Savage requires the 703k on entry I think
ew
or i would just pay more for the upgrades later
Not 100% though so if anyone else can clarify
then youll need the base game again so you might as well get the complete
only to unlock.
can re-enter with less
maybe if i want a cool mount i should just get the 22.49 shadowbringers collector's?
So im new here and i got a quick question, my friend is on Coeurl and we cant create new toon on this server, will i be able to play with him from an other ?
If it’s on the same data center
As long as the new character is on the same data center, then yes.
thanks all
the only other mount that really appeals to me is the griffon from the heavensward collectors
you can buy the shadowbringers and heavensward collectors by themselves
cheapest way would be shadowbringer collector's edition license added to the account + heavensward collector's upgrade
without having to make a new account
Not a fan of the griffin to buy, you can get a white one from beast tribes
hmmm
and you cant use the mounts until youre lvl 20 in the main story anyway
Anyone knows how to level up fast ilevel?
Shopping?
so maybe just shadowbringers collector's
@worthy rain for what level
42
do msq?
Yes I do hahah
msq, jobquests or spam the highest dungeon for gear
Have to find better boots and left ring it seems
Your ilvl stagnates any time you’re not at 50/60/70/80
It’s a slow build up, then a massive jump until 50
not really?
Can you explain? Lol
at 50+ you use ironworks until 55 then use msq gear and rinse repeat for 60 and 70
Ironworks gear is ilvl 130
Your ilvl before 50 is at about 49, at 50 you can get gear that jumps to 130, then it steadily increases to about 167 iirc at 59, 60 you can get 270 etc
145 or so at 59
rule #1 of ffxiv pvp: let your healer die
I must note that you should still upgrade your gear between level caps
Due to the defense stat spiking halfway through
Hello. I have a "weird" question. I just beat ShB (as in ||Hades||), and I'm not sure what I should be doing from here. Just do blue Marked quests and stuff for tombstones? Right now, I'm just finishing my DRK Questline.
@agile laurel wrong channel lol
unlock bozja after you beat 5.1
So just about anything. I felt like I was overthinking this. Thanks!
do msq until you cant anymore
Oh, that first and then other things?
you could also buy HQ exarchic gear from the market board if you wanted more ilvls and had gil to spend on them
What on earth is Bozja. Is that a spoiler?
Eureka 2.0
on that vein you should do the level 70 alliance raids if you haven't
In short
those are important
And Eurika was that "large land", yes. I never touched it.
And I made sure to finish the 70 stuff before moving on
bozja is nowhere near as grindy as eureka
good, then maybe consider starting the relic weapon storyline
bozja is good for leveling alts, and if you're on the relic weapon questline you could possibly also be convincing yourself that you're spending time getting your relic weapon for your main
You buy gear (at least leveled to 42) at shops at city states right?
dont buy gear
If not, Im gonna do The Stone Vigil (41)
If you need to, yeah
just do the dungeon
Buying is faster hahah
vendor gear sucks
Okay. One more thing. Is the exarchic stuff worth the gil? Or is the raid stuff gonna be better? If anything, I want an excuse to get my Glamor back on asap.
Exarchic is one step below current tome gear
In city states ok thanks 👍
And also yes thanks for the advice of shop gears hahah
@proven lantern the last tier of raids, which gives the same ilvl as exarchic gear, is weekly locked
HQ Exarchic gets.you into all current content and skips alot of catch up grinding
exarchic is just the lazy way to get ilvls
It's totally reasonable to expect to be using exarchic gear for some months if you don't plan to touch Savage
!faq gearguide
these are all the sets
So where I am, it's "the best"? I've 2 mil gil on me and have no plans to use it for anything other than gear
exarchic is beat out in ilvl by gear purchased with revelation tomes however
it is 'a great starting point and the easiest'
So if I were to touch the Nier Stuff, that would be better than exarchic
no
Oh, that's a good answer
nier is 490
No, because Nier is relatively old
Crafted will get upgrades to 520 via allegory in 5.5 so it will still be decent
tome gear is better than exarchic
the gear from the final nier raid will be same ilvl as unaugmented relevaltions tomestone gear
Normal gear tier is Savage + augmented tome gear > Tome and Newest 24man stuff > Crafted and Normal mode gear >>>>> dungeon
But you’ll never be your best self with it
so yes, that gear (that isn't released yet) will be better then exarchic
but the current nier raid gears, no they aren't
Guys, I'm so lost. I haven't touched this game in months and I'm not understanding.
In short - Exarchic allows you to skip using old methods to gear up, and gives you a floor to start farming current gear from
right now, exarchic is the fastest but possibly expensive way to get the ilvl you need to be able to basically do everything in game atm
Okay, I looked at the guide. The Exarchic looks good for me because everything after seems to be Savage/Extreme stuff.
Exarchic is good if you want to skip the traditional way of getting gear, which is farming uncapped tomestones
tomestone of revelation gear (aka cryptstalker) is better than exarchic
but its weekly capped
so you're not going to be able to get gear as quickly
exarchic outclasses everything except
revelation tome gear (and is perfectly acceptable gear to farm tomes with)
emerald weapon weapon (and is perfectly acceptable entry level for emerald ex)
eden's promise savage gear (and is perfectly good for the first fight of savage)
What would be a good place to look for an FC?
And having Exarchic, in theory, lets me farm Cryptlurker faster
no
no
there are many ways to get tomes
you'll need to keep onwards through msq for adequate ways to farm tomes

for 80s and expert roulette and the raids
having exarchic just lets you bump up your ilvl to the point where you have access to all the content without having to go through the traditional gearing route
I just unlocked mounts and have a bird that I bought how do I fly.
you unlock flying in ARR areas after beating base ARR
Unlock flying
try https://www.reddit.com/r/FFXIVRECRUITMENT/ or https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/
This makes a lot of sense for me. I think I'll just get it so I don't need to farm other gear and can get to Cryptlurkr faster
Thanks!è
I saw you can use a controller to play ff14 but how would u cast spells like that since there arent other buttons 
having higher ilvl doesnt make you farm tomes any faster
you can access other hotbars by doing stuff like double tapping or holding triggers
I'm sorry if I'm making this too difficult, but what are you guys saying? It doesn't make it faster, but it also makes it so I don't need to do other farming. Again, I apologize if I'm making this harder than it needs to be.
ok
you need to get tomes to buy cryptlurker
you can get tomes without having ilvl 510
You can only get 450 relevations a week
how would i see what buttons i press for my 1-9 
Train of thought: I have completed the MSQ. I now want to try current tier Savage, and the current EX fights and relevant high end content.
So I can do this, I will buy Exarchic gear to avoid having to farm timegated gear to get my ilvls.
getting exarchic gear gives higher ilvl so you have ACCESS TO CONTENT. however getting the highest ilvl gear is timegated no matter what you do
Okay. Exarchic is only if I want to go straight to savage
exarchic gear is merely the "i dont want to wait to farm other gear"
its if you dont want to farm other gear
its not necessary to be much higher than i500 if you're not heading into savage anyways
Hi, question about housing: if I purchase on behalf of my FC, do the funds come from my personal gil or the company chest?
comes from your wallet
@foggy marlin wym
Exarchic will put you at an acceptable level for most current content, and from there you'll be on the drip feed of upgrading from it with better gear with tomes and such
or how do i see whats bound to that
you press the button corresponding to the skill you want
you have to have the gil on you when you purchase the plot @rough fossil
you have hotbars
@foggy marlin open up Character Configuration from your settings
Okay, I think I get it now. Buy exarchic if I want to skip straight to harder stuff, but otherwise, just continue with MSQ and unlock better gear over time.
Do I have it now?
Thanks! Also wanted to confirm since I saw some confusing stuff - if I’m authorized to purchase/relinquish land, I can, right? I saw somewhere saying only the owner could?
oh perfect
@foggy marlin you need to switch to controller mode
Woo!
thanks! thats all i needed
yes, so long as your rank has authorization to buy land, you are able to buy it
Cool. Figured that had to make sense
they mean the mog station by seasonal shop right? :V cause i assume you cant just buy old stuff if you did last years quest from the npc for instance
no
the seasonal shop is in mih khettos amphteihhrtiehar
its pretty much never old cosmetic/housing rewards
Oh, one more thing. Now that I have beat ShB, who sells the new 80 gear for tomes. I assume they're in the ||Crystarium||?
grenoldt
yep that works. just get enough ilvl so you have access to content as you get to it. for example, in the later MSQ dungeons, you will be required to have a certain ilvl in order to enter it. same with alliance raids (nier 24man raids) and normal eden raids (8 man normal raids). to get higher ilvl, you might have to farm some allegory tomestones for i490 gear to bump up your ilvl average, or grab loot from dungeons/raids. getting exarchic basically skips all that and gives you enough ilvl to enter extreme/savage content right off the bat
well, thats not worth then, thanks
in the tempest
oh tomes
Eulmore has all the endgame tome gear
eulmore is the endgame hub
Weird, but I can see why. I assume there will be new quests for me there as well
Every expansion generally has a pretty nice city, and an 'endgame hub'. You probably recognise Idyllshire and Rhalgr's serving the 'endgame hub' purpose of their relative expansions
Where do those purple cerberus-looking mounts come from?
delebreum reginae savage
DR savage
or whatever its spelled as
Delubrum*
Speaking of DR, what actions should I bring as a dancer for it
normal? or savage
I might be having an issue but I have no idea what I should do.. rip
Normal
I just resubbed
normal just make sure you're using some kind of potion, preferably one that gives hp cuz shit hits hard
shrug. font of power, honored sacrifice
Nah. If you don't fuck mechanics up you don't need hp
Bring damage at no deficit to yourself
i mean
Oh yeah normal is easy
Just wondering if I can speed it up a bit lol
@sonic flax what are you trying to log into
the potion tha t gives uh
+85% dmg or whatever
Trying to reply on someone's recuitment post for an FC!
and lost dervish
is tehre a discord for Delubrum reginae pre made groups?
data centers each have their own
for normal people just queue for it
someone else might have a link for a crystal one
It is in #resources!
im on aether, is there a specific one for that one?
@sonic flax did you log in to the lodestone
oh, thanks
o your tag said crystal
Yeah!
but yea resources has discords and stuff
How is the hard stuff anyways? Never touched Extremes/Savages, but I assume it's the content where it's "So hard, but the end goal makes it fun"?
oh i moved to aether haha i should change that
i mean
savage needs lots of coordinate for DR savage
its 48 people so it makes it harder
savage is pretty hard but its like learning a dance
^
EX is baby savage
difficulty is highly subjective, but its content that can't be done on a whim and takes time to learn and progress through the fight
^
you wont hop in and clear on your first run
generally the basic thing you wanna do beforehand is watch a guide
depending on how quickly you learn things and if your group is competent, you could probably learn savage in a couple weeks?
it will take you multiple hours to learn the fight's mechanics, not to mention being able to play your job at a competent level
ex/savage can generally be summed up as 'initially unclear and complex mechanics which will probably just kill you and your entire party if managed wrong, and checks on all members'
however there is a relative difference in savage between 'stand in a clock' and 'E12 lions' so there's generally an entry level
tackling current extreme is a good way to get a feel for the level of content
it goes away after awhile
it just means you are a returning player
and signals to more experienced players to go easy
before getting into higher end content, its also advised you look up guides on your job and practice your rotation a bit on a dummy to get the basics down
mechanically savage isnt SUPER hard but it is definitely endgame content, as i learned the hard way when i realized our group actually needed to bring food, potions, and line up our raid buffs in order to beat it
and yes, for savage and extreme there is a basic expectation that you're not playing like a monkey at a typewriter
doesn't stop some people of course, but
do each savage duty have a dps check?
all of them?
yes
theres 2 types of difficulty. 1) mechanical difficulty (the fight itself) and 2) job difficulty, being able to play your job to a competant level to clear (doing enough dps while also healing if your a healer, doing enough dps while mitigating properly if your a tank, and doing enough dps while keeping up your rotation and buffs as a dps)
there is a hard enrage
like when they say a fight is 11 mins long

hey dumb question but does anyone know if we're getting last years valentines event maze instance? I just came back to xiv after a long haitus so I'm kind of lost on where to look for this and wanted to drag a friend along.
there was a maze last year?
yeah and it was really cute
What are the most popular servers on the crystal datacenter that aren't Balmung or that other one that's always full?
all of them
yes
Oh, okiedokie
there is no maze this year afaik
yeah not this time, because of covid delays the events got the short end
laaaame, thanks guys
top
im not suire what to pick like
oh
im dragoon btw
so i should almost always go with the first option?
the bottom one is worse than what you have
that wierd DRG/not really tank gear
def/mdef really aren't that important
Generally speeking, I bet endgame content is more specific, but idk
the top one is for drg and tank, which is a bit non-standard
blame weird ARR gear specs
ARR has weird sets where drg can wear tank gear
like blm and whm 1h weapons
once you get to 50 and beyond they separate the sets so you dont need to worry about it
oh
i thought it was like
the top one is for a tanky dragoon
and the 2nd was for more damage dealing dragoon
no
i wasnt sure though
Nag, ARR is just weird.
its just which classes can equip it
ill go with first
basically in ARR, they were like trying to go for an "off tank" type deal with dragoon
Which didn't really work, and definitely was not continued
Like, starting from Heavnsward, you gain 10 levels per Expansion instead of 50
but thats why there's a lot of gear in ARR dungeons that technically drg can wear, but isn't able to roll for
And you may not know this, but ARR just recently cut a lot of "useless" quests to make the experience better
Basically, After Vanilla FFXIV failed, ARR was a bit experimental and didn't really know what to do for a time.
^ basically yea, and from heavensward onwards they found a formula they liked so they stuck with it. so ARR has some weird systems and things in place that are different compared to the expacs
everything is very streamlined going forward
how do i get to the crystarium for the first time in city of first?
do the MSQ, it will take you there
it's telling me to already be there
then uh.... walk forward? it puts you in the general area you just have to walk to the npcs and then into the city
I tried relogging, looking through my account but I cannot figure out how to fix this :/
can't find anything about it online either, unless I'm using the wrong keywords
do you have sub time
can you screenshot your mog station
what are decent weapons to start the shb msq? did heaven on high and msq skip. got some scaevan armor
the scaevan weapon
is that the npc next to the armor vendor?
yes
ty
where do I buy deepshadow gear?
hunt vendor in the crystarium
can i not buy with tome any more?
no
bruhh
wait nvm its cheap af
Is every piece given to us for leveling available for purchase? I've been holding onto the stuff I get from my coffers. Like Evokers horn (45) and summoners horn (50). I can just smash em and buy em later if I decide I want them?
Yes, just to talk about your specific examples. the evoker's set can be bough from the calamity salvagers in the 3 major starting cities
and the summoners gear can be gotten by trading tokens from snowcloak/sastasha (hard)/sunken temple of qarn (hard) in mor dhona
also a lot of the gear given from the msq or job quests in general can be usually easily gotten again from vendors as its for the most part NQ(in ARR)/HQ(in expansions) crafted/vendor gear
Awesome. I was about to just throw it all into the glamour dresser but I'll go through it first. Thank you 😄 No more holding onto everything due to fear XD
also should note
that the evoker's set can go into the armoire
so i would toss that in there tbh
cant dye it in the armoire tho 
Oh yeah I just saw it was sitting in there. My retainers got all the stuff that doesn't go in there though
i mean can't dye it without augmenting it anyway
and augmenting it removes the ability to put it in the armoire
oh weird
there's a browser extension called Retain-Me-Not
if you log into Lodestone and look at your retainer inventory using that extension, it will show you everything they're holding than can be put in the armoire or rebought from the Salvager
Oh that sounds awesome
as well as duplicate stacks of items that you could consolidate

how do i hide the UI (including dialogue box) during a cutscene?
Is there a list somewhere of what flowers are able to be put into vases?
@cold crescent left bumper + left start button
Question
Answer
As a healer I know reviving tank is priority but assuming 3 down and I just revived the tank does any dps class take priority over other dps
TYTY
Who of the 3 would I revive first
red mages and summoners
Any particular reason why?
they can rezz
they can rez
Ok then after them whose next important
Whats the name of the latest crafted gear set?

Exarchic @leaden ginkgo
A Tank if none are alive > Healers+SMN/RDM > everyone else
Anybody in spriggan? For stone vigil?
Is this the place if i need tips for the relic grind? Or are we still doing that in the patch channel?
this channel is fine
Righteous
So. I'm almost done with the first step. Next is running the void raids? Which of those is fastest?
Roger roger. Thank you!
huh
is there any way i can like
create a duplicate of my character
using in game tools
just like
have some kind of duplicate of my character on screen
Right click > save appearance
did they remove the quest to farm dungeons Bitter memories?
The character window and trying on equipment is as good as it gets
No
C by default
the idea rn is to try and get a second copy of my character on screen i guess
whats the character window do for me with that tho
That's the only way to get your character on screen outside of your model
damn is that all i've got
Ninja Bunshin(???)
Allagan Tomes are to be used best when completed postSHB?
The maximum capacity is 2000?
Poetics will be spent on 50, 60 and 70 gear
Tomestones of poetics are for previous level caps (50/60/70)
allegory tomes are for lvl 80 gear
The other tomestones can only be gotten at 80
Ok thanks 👍
Which job?
Summoner
Then yes
Should've specified WHOOPS
Dooooope, thanks guys
Talking about stats priorities, is there a chart of every style (tank, healer, melee, ranged)?
is that allowed for the altered screenshots
If it’s for an official contest then no
daaaaamn
It puts console players at a disadvantage if they were allowed
mods arent allowed in the game anyway period
I'm back again, is there a HUGE downside to using different characters for different classes? I just like the option of having differenty races etc based on class I want to play. can i do that wityhout really hurting myself?
this game is alt-unfriendly
if you make an alt character they cant interact at all with your main
can't friend them, cant send mail, cant trade, etc
you would need a third person to go between
unfortunate
Can anyone help specifie "alliance" chat?
As you know, there are dungeons and trials of 8 members (full party), we talked in "party"
So, "alliance" is exclusively for 24 members instances?
Guess I will understand this better once I have alliances hahaha

I mean, you can not use "party" with 24, but yes with 8 and 4
alliance is to talk to everyone in the 24 man raid
party is just to talk to your own party
Dont wanna be annoying, but curious, can you explain about this you say?
There are no parties of 24 ok thanks 👍
you can enter 24 man raids with pre made parties
if you find enough people
so you can pre make all the alliances and then talk to them in alliance chat
Yes, you mean join together with almost 24 people and chat?
Anyway, ok I will understand it when I make them, thanks for the info 👍
Hey y'all. I was needing some help finding some information.
I'm currently trying to make all the 2.x relic Zeta's. and I have the first one complete. getting the reclics to the Nexus step isgoing fine, but I cannot for the life of me, find where to make the next renamed relic (ex. Thyrus nexus>NIrvana) is located. I have the 4 items pre-made, but I cannot find that one fusion quest to save my life.
hey Shadowbriners is 20$ USD, right? it's not my local currency eh?
Until middle February
im level 34, am i suppose to have a mount?
It should be one of the options when talking to Jalzahn
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
thanks. looks like i need to get one
The quest that allows you to ride mounts gives you one
It is not under msq quest, but mandatory, like job quests
When you hit msq of level 20
It appears to you in a npc
is there a website that helps u
aggregate all the items u need to craft a full set of gear
The hat and the tabletop thing are the only rewards from the Valentine's Day event-quest right?
yes
trying to buy the items for the exarchic striking set
without having to go to the wiki for each individual item
You can make a list on teamcraft
I did try that. But the option is not there. https://i.imgur.com/BdDzhvE.png
teamcraft?
Zodiac Weapon Recreation
.....I swear on all million of my gil it asked for the Nirvana before. I am an absolute dumbarse of the nth degree. Thank you for correcting my feckup
i cant figure out how to do a list on that site
that shows all the crafting materials needed
Is the list tab on the left menu for you?
so i did this
but i still have to click each item individually
to gget the materials
i was hoping to just get a list of all the materials for the full set
Because you made a gearset not a list
ah
cant seem to make a list though
reloading it made the list show up
oh ok lol
yeah idk lol
which category do i look at
i just wanna see the items i need to craft the armor
Just open them all
It starts from the base gathered mats all the way through and gives you every method of obtaining them
You can mark off what you have as you go
Is there a better way to find a group to do Deltascape savage than just party finder?
Party finder is your best bet
hi!!, im on ps4 and need someone to help me upload a log to see how im doing my rotation so i can have some advice... is this the place to ask for that?? im on Cactuar

As I start slowly playing a brand new account and a brand new character, is there anything I should keep in mind? Im not goin to be "speedrunning" the game to get max level quick, im just casually playing to enjoy myself
do your job quests everytime
As a ftp player, are there any options for socializing and being part of groups and whatnot?
how do you guys get the gilded magitek armor to have abilities
Same way as the normal one? got to do the sidequest "magiteknal difficulties" in Mor Dhona
Yeah that quest should unlock it for all 4 walkers
check fflogs first to see if someone has already uploaded something with you in it
(Normal/Gilded/Livia/Nero)
thanks! i havent played much with the job im trying to log though, not any end game content
there's 4 magitek mounts?
Normal from the story, gilded from 300 or 500 comma, and then two from the mogstation
not including the magitek claw
are you allowed to call Support to appeal a suspension or is it only through email?
There’s lots of different variants of magitek themed mounts
!mount magitek sky armor
After engine failure saw this single-seated warmachina abandoned on the field of battle, it was salvaged by members of the Eorzean Alliance who had the device sent to the Garlond Ironworks for research and repair.
20,000 Wolf Marks (Purchase)
Not sure about suspensions, but if the support center shows it as an option it should be fine
Uh no, so I figured it out. I was in a dungeon with a friend (Talking in Discord) and one other guy waiting for the game to find us a new healer. We got to talking about fashion and as a joke I mentioned how nice the random looked and proceed to jokingly talk shit about my friend. I guess the rando didn't find it as funny.
So now SE thinks I was just randomly shit talking some poor BRD I'm guessing.
Imagine using chat
which sucks cause I try to be a model citizen as a Tank 💔
So now I have to get a hold of SE and hope to the high heavens they show me mercy.
oh yea i was in a dungeon where the healer was constantly shitting on the tank and vice versa
and at the end of the duty i they revealed they were best buds
weirdest dungeon experience ever
That's what I was doing cause my friend was telling me in a VC how much he liked the DRGs fashion so since we had nothing else to do but wait for a healer I talked with the guy. Again, purely all in jest but my friend said something in chat and then after I said mean things stopped talking so it looks like I just was a horrible person
BUT IM A GOOD NOODLE
is there a crafting service channel on this discord
If you mean asking people to make things for you, not really
There’s #doh-dol-lounge which has tons of general information and macros/guides in the pins
hi!!, im on ps4 and need someone to help me upload a log to see how im doing my rotation so i can have some advice... is this the place to ask for that?? im on Cactuar

and that there is more than just that
sometimes events are small
In terms of new stuff that’s it
Only through mogstation
Pain
Where can I get the giant moogle mount with a swing attached to it that has two more moogles on either side of it
mogstation
Fuck
is the chocobokeeper faster than your own mount?
Not if you know where your going
Or especially when you unlock flying
oh so the only advantage is to be lazy?
Basically
can you buy crysta w/ mogstation gift card?
hi!!, im on ps4 and need someone to help me upload a log to see how im doing my rotation so i can have some advice... can someone do that please?? im on Aether

thx
You have posted this same message multiple times now. You received an answer to see if on the fflogs site if anyone uploaded one when you may have played with them. Otherwise this would not be the channel to ask. Please try #retired-na-datacenters or maybe your FC/some of your friends.
Please don't spam here.
apparently 50/100 isn't
yeah, some people online in the game have been saying they didnt get one from 50/100, is that confirmed?
are scholars pretty good healers?
Is there a point to achievements in ff14?
some of them give you things
and you get achievement points which you can use to buy stuff at the achievement vendor
Is that the dude in Old Gridania?
yes
What all can I get from him
mounts, minions, hats, etc
no
Oh so I only need a few to make a plate to apply to all future armor?
you use 1 glam prism to put an item in the dresser
then from the dresser you can put gear on a plate and its free to apply the plate
Oh even better lol
@remote lintel hey thanks for always replying quick, i feel like youre usually the first answer lol
I learned more from him than from google haha
i honestly hate just googling or wikipediaing things over and over again, i like having conversations with people instead. its an mmo after all
so i come here
a combination of both is reccomended

Would it be a good idea to pick up all of the class hunting logs as quickly as I can? I kinda enjoy just casually killing stuff in between quests and it feels like that would give me a sort of, direction tog o if im not sure what i wanna just kill time on
if you want
I'd say do your grand company one instead cause you need it for housing
so im referring to this guide to get my dol's to 80
