no you get the regular lunaris rod from the hunt vendor in ishgard
ahh i missed that thanks
Hi so Im having trouble with creating a free trial square enix account for FFXIV on the Square enix website coming with the error code i2051 (Trust me ive tried everything even had a family member in america try ot make an NA account) If i use the steam app to purchase the FFXIV is it possible I wont have the error?
do you have to do the previous one? because I have a new character, my previous did the entire eureka series
no
@crisp prawn https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/ffxivregister?lng=en-us did you sign up here?
Yes
and youve disabled any vpns and tried your phone browser and tried using your phone wifi hotspot
Also for some reason Japan isnt a region option on the signup page? Nor is Taiwan
Ive tried my phone browser however never heard of using the hotspot
And yes ive disabled any vpns
is it necessary to join a party when doing Bozjan southern front?
hmmm i guess ill have to put it up on party finder then or somethin >.>
wym
you can just ask for an invite when the CE starts
you don't need a premade group when you enter bozja
So uhh, Does anyone know the answer to my question?
try the hotspot
ok
ive been waiting for more than 20 mins on level 80 dungeon roulette, should i restart it? doesnt look normal to me
dps?
are you a dps

yeah because it needs dps back and im on number 1 since 15 mins ago
thats normal
That sounds about right then
If you're not a healer or tank queue times are gigastupid
@remote lintel Didnt work.
did you try using the steam trial
You mean the free version?
the free trial on steam yes
Yep I have the installer downloaded it still just gives me the same error
when creating the account
did you contact support
Is BLU the kind of content that you can do at anytime or will it die down after the current amount of people doing it for the new abilities? I'm waiting to catch up on all the expansions before trying it
They barely helped I adressed the problem they gave me tips just tried them all didnt work
I replied to them on the email when they aknowledged my ticket not sure if it got to them though
might try asking #technology-discussion
2051 is a very general error so its kinda hard to figure out
i guess not much people playing ff atm, im using AST and 9 mins queueing in level 80 dungeons
will try again in 1 or 2 hours
isnt it like the middle of the day in jp
yeah, well its CNY so thats probably why
did you toggle on the japanese language in DF settings
i believe i toggled every language, but i will check it later
mogstation, dreadwyrm miniture
you can trade it via FC points
at this point retainers also get this from quick ventures so they get price warred on the MB anyway
its not tradeable
oh oops i was thinking of the sculpture/bust
but the miniature should be obtained via FC points, the same place where you do your GC turn-ins and stuff like that
unless eorzea database is wrong
also, an actual question: for the newest resistance weapon quests, do you actually have to do the 15 runs of CT/void ark/ivalice raids for EACH weapon or do you do it only once?
can i upload my gear sets/hotbars from windows to playstation?
@worthy basin upload them to the cloud from the character select screen
is there a thread or "source" of that because i'm trying to show this to someone
thank
How much do I need to worry about a classes "viability" if at all?
exactly zero
all classes are good. Breaking news, dev team good at balancing game
more at 11
all classes are viable
that's wonderful to hear. thank you.
You can literally play through the entire story as a healer
That's how viable all classes are

BLU is viable
Can I make use of low level materia or throw em out?
Just turned level 80 and trying to figure out how to build set.
what's a decent way to being able to make some sustainable gil on a new character?
on a data center like excalibur
anyone still doing runs for the Elemental Armor? I'd like to get the glamours for it but those areas are beyond ghost towns
are gatherers yielding anything
depends on the market
should i buy exarchic?
out of curiosity
does anyone happen to know off the top of their head
about how much DPS samurai loses if they miss every single positional
vs hitting all of them
depends on what you want to do with it
also what is the golden yellow RP next to someone's name? or was it title?
@dapper oyster if you really dont want to farm
its their status
means theyre rping
do you plan on going into savage raiding? may be advisable to get exarchic
are you going to stay a casual player? no need
@robust crow a lot
rping? ._.
uh i read that very differently
OH
no idea
iirc dragoon loses like 5% ish
i have 4 million gil and i wonder if i should get exarchic, each part of them is like... 50k?
but im pretty much casual...
kyn, again, what do you plan on doing with it
if you really dont want to farm
you can get full 510 gear from eden normals for virtually free
up to 4 pieces per week
plus a i510 piece from DR every week
520 gear (better than exarchic) is purchaseable for revelation tomes but are limited weekly as well
if you are never going to do savage content then it's a waste of money
my eden is 480, weird .-.
i500 is enough for pretty much everything that isn't savage
are these unable to be inspected? i can't drag them in and auto submit won't detect.. or does it need to have a minimum stack?
ah i see, i havent unlock it
OHhh i see, thanks so much!
i guess i will just pick which one looks better lol
i havent learn much about glamouring as well

thanks
qquick question...does poetic items in moh dhorna cap at lv 50?
@robust crow regarding the samurai question
Yss
Because Mor Dhona is the level 50 endgame area
so there's no use after collecting all gear for your main?
ohh, there are other areas later?
Each expansions have their own endgame area
ok got it.. thanks!
!action Kasha
So, if you don't nail your positionals for samurai at all, you are losing 5 kenki for Kasha and Gekko
yeah i went to the balance already
it's around 64 potency per missed positional
so around 2-3% DPS over a fight
does this event give any unlockables outside of a moogle cap?
the moogle plushie
I'm guessing no armor this time around
no
How easy or hard is it to solo PotD starting from zero?
If I'm on the free trial atm, and I buy a code for the complete edition of the game, do I have a time limit for using the code and turning my user from free to paid, or can I first use up my free trial and get to 60, before setting the 30-day timer that comes with the purchase on myself with the full game?
How hard
very
I just got my first minion through MSQ. what do these things do?
nothing really
Literally nothing
it just follows?
Is it possible to purchase xiv complete edition for someone as a gift?
just give them the code
Gotcha
How good is the drop rate for the timeworn arts in potd?
What should I be doing with poetics?
I am already level 80 but is there any use for them anymore? is there stuff I should be gathering for other reasons
!faq poetics
Thanks!
What's the situation with mouse and keyboard software that let's you set up macros?
Is it allowed, within reason? Is it enforceable?
My logitech mouse software let's me set up a macro with timed key presses. I was think I could just buy a bunch of firmament mats, and just set a macro on my mouse to craft 40x something with an in game macro.
It's against ToS and if you get caught doing it, you'll likely get a suspension at minimum.
ah ok, that's good to know
i thought about this cuz yesterday i was camping a house for a little bit, and someone commented that everyone else was using bots
we tried to talk to them, but they never interacted
i kinda wanted to report them, but i could only report people for RMT or being rude
so i wasnt sure if this was allowed or not
Anything that automates/emulates button presses or inputs is not allowed. That's not to say that people dont do it, but if you get caught doing it, the consequences tend to be severe.
Alright
I gots a question
I just hit Lv 30 on my Marauder, but I'm still a ways away from getting to Sylph Management, am I able to accept the Lv 30 MRD quest but not the Lv 30 WAR quest or do I need to do Sylph Management to be able to do either quest
You should be able to do the level 30 MRD quest, but not the level 30 WAR quest, if i recall
So class quest will be blue but the job unlock quest will be red
ye
Should be, yes
If you manage it properly, its pretty easy to hit 70 on all jobs (DoH/DoL included) before Road to 70 expires
My MSQ is at 17 
When i rolled on such a server, i think i landed at Shadowbringers with 5 different combat jobs at 70
damn
Yeah I already picked up Archer to take the exp gains from the next MSQs because I don't wanna end up at like 40 and still be a MRD/ROG 
Trying to put XIV on my Mac, and on an external. It says it needs 34 gigs for updates. It is trying to dump them on my machine’s hard drive, when I want everything on the external which has more than sufficient space. How can I tell it to dump everything onto the external?
hey if I don't do ishgard restore quest can I access ishgard housing area?
is there a written guide regarding how to play ffxiv using a controller?
!faq controller
We have no idea. Though there's no reason not to do them, and 6.1 is a very long time away.
thanks cerb
questions
If you're asking a question this is the place yes
What specifically are you trying to display on it.
mmmkay, if i remember right, its been a bit
when you put down a mannequin you select its job/race/gender. i might be wrong on the job though.
is it a replica you're trying to put on the mannequin? can't put real relic on them iirc
What's a blue X on an item in my armoury chest mean
iirc its something like "You can equip this, but not on your current job"
Oh
and red, afaik, is "you cant equip this on any of your jobs"
This does not include jobs you don't have unlocked yet and equipment that's level locked iirc
well just keep going with MSQ not much else to do, it'll somewhat catch up later but until then you'll be overleveled by a large amount even with 2 chars
msq :V
I don't think with Road to 70 that it's going to catch me
The Smith quest, that seem to be stages of showing off Tank Gladiator, does they give a big reward, or are just for people not grasping the games mechanics?
Also the other classes and crafting in cities that are not Ul'Dah, can I get to them early on, or do I just have to wait until I reach that point?
And finally...when switching classes between gladiator, and say a crafting class, can I save what I'm wearing? I keep ending up nude lol
wait for the main scenario quest to give you access to airships
yes, you can save a gear set in your character
The final stage gives a ring that increases exp gains until level 30
which can be used on any class
(combat classes only)
Brand-new gear and a Brand-new Ring that increases exp gains by 30% while under Lv 30
Ohhh that seems nice for side classes
As for how good it is it's very unlikely that you'll get anything better until you actually reach 30
It's nice for all classes
Should be the first thing you do when any of your classes hit 15

i hit 60 just now but havent even done the first heavensward trial, any big things that happen at 60 that i should go do real quick?
all 60 content is locked behind level 60 msq, so if you're on the quest "Heavensward", you need to do it to unlock basically all level 60 stuff like sidequest dungeons, tome gear vendors etc
Lord of the Inferno is the quest that you challenge Ifrit on right?
Yes
if I live in SEA, what servers/world should I be in
I love yall NA folks but 1700 ping every fight is oppressive
i believe you'd want JP
tonberry and kujata are the unofficial EN worlds, iirc.
oki
also anything I should keep in mind when transferring servers?
I heard u lose all ur gil
you dont
nice
is there a way to filter non job specific gear in the armouray? its really confusing when im swicthing classes and i have like 4 different sets of robes
Not sure what you're trying to achieve?
I think the general solution might be start using gear set slots
blms get freeze, f3, flare flare at 70, right?
68 to be right
!trait enhanced umbral heart
while at it, all bard songs please
can someone explain to me how timecard works?
because my friend is having trouble with timecards rn
their friend bought a timecard in USD but my friend said they cant use it because their account is an EU account
Having issue logging into the game - was hit with another login restriction please change password last night, no big because it happens all the time, but the game refuses to let me log in, claiming my details are incorrect after the change.
Mogstation lets me log in fine. What gives?
is there a certain playtime requirement to transfer worlds?
does anyone know where this last one is
Its either going to be a
on your map, or its going to come from MSQ
i think that particular one will be from the dungeon at the end of that zone
probably msq because the only blue quest mark thing thats left in dravanian is the 58 bard quest
like if i go on my fighting class I dont want to see gathering gear and vice versa
Generally speaking its impossible to unlock flight in a zone before completing the entire MSQ of that zone
I have no idea why you're having your current problem, but sounds like its time for 2FA bud.
It's likely VPN related. This is the first time it's posed an actual issue
Anyone farming last relic step with potd ? For first weapon it was fine but since second i'm not dropping anything after now 30-40runs+ :0 I'm just getting rnged or drop rate lowered somehow ? ( doing 50-60 spam )
yeah, really having an issue now.
Mogstation allows me to log in. Launcher allows me to reset my password. However, it refuses to accept my details as correct. my ID has not changed
from what I've heard the POTD drop is a pretty low chance but guaranteed on the 91-100 clear.
Guaranteed on 40-50 as well afaik
Nu its not, did both and didn't got on 50 and got only once/3 on 100, heard though that the drop rate is higher once you get to 100+ floors but haven't tried yet
Its just weird cause for my first weapon it was honestly like 20-30% drop rate, and since my second weapon i didn't drop a single once since, so starting to wonder if some experienced the same or just unlucky
Well, i'm just blindly speculating at this point, but you mentioned a VPN. Is it on now?
if this is what caused it i stg
do I need to advance the MSQ to unlock the gunbreaker job at 60?
iirc you need to have a combat job at 60 and have purchased Shadowbringers
This is the correct answer
okay cheers - can I access the location to unlock the job
yep. only HW combat jobs require MSQ access
it's near gridania aetheryte
they abandoned that concept for every other expansion job because it was a shite idea
no dice. just contacting squenix support, bored of this now
about how long (in hours) does shb 5.0 msq take?
hmm, better question, is it about the same as hw and sb?
hey guys, this is my first time melding, and i found this for RDM
"Meld Priority: Crit > DH ≥ Det"
I'd say it felt longer than HW and SB
how do you know when it is enough
like i max a piece, and if it overcaps, i go to the next stat?
yep
if you cannot meld any more crit, meld DH or det
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
so if it overcaps do i do it and put it and then go to the next. or do i not over cap and just go to the next one?
hi new here and can someone explains to me the fashion thing?
You should almost never overcap because its wasted stats
ok great, thanks guys
!faq glamour
'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.
There is like, a very small handful of times in the history of the game that it was smart to do but......i can count that on one hand.
have a great day!
not the glamour i meant about the fashion guy masked rose I think
Basically you get points for matching items or dyes to some predefined list of things each week, and MGP based on how much matching you did.
There's generally a reddit post and a bot spam post that you can just follow rather than trying to figure it out for yourself
It changes each week
Where is that cuz I really don’t know what im doing
And just to be sure im still in trial
Is it a waste of time trying to do savages with randoms ? Never done one. Watching guides on Titan savage and it's looking spicy
For example - here is the reddit post for this week.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/li8kcf/fashion_report_full_details_for_week_of_2122021/
Is there a confirmed minimum value for the plot lockout time, before you can buy?
when do you get access to your mount? I just joined the flame order
Plenty of people full clear Savage every week in pugs. But its also going to be less consistent on average but not always than having a static.
!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.
You can access it if you joined a GC
mans over here calling Geico to get his chocobo covered

Is it the shade one?
Yeah your next MSQ after 'The Company You Keep' gives you 300 seals to go buy the chocobro with
Yes...just click the link
the graphic shows you easy ways to hit the score thresholds
And there is a post every week on reddit for that weeks fashion report
can i only get them from the market board?
By definition, no. Anything you can buy from the market board comes from somewhere
hello, returning player playing RDM, i just finished Stormblood and I had some questions about gear, what should I take from now? I have a mix about trash gear (i273/285) and Rakshasa ones (ilv 380)
Should I look for Scaevan stuff using Allagan tombstones?
What level are you?
70
Scaevan gear
Yeah, Scaeven is the best you can get for now
any guide for 5.45 relic & skytools btw?
Okay, thanks guys!
No. You must beat all three attributes.
ur gonna sigh again after i tell u this lol... i dont have 30,000 mgp
You can buy the claws for 30k MGP, dye any chestpiece Chestnut Brown, and get back 60k MGP
Well, then your options are limited.
but i think i can get it in one day
Sorry to repeat my question:
Is there a confirmed minimum time before a plot can be bought?
and im planning on getting them so its a win win
so wear anything and dye it but what about the earings and rings anything too?
I've never heard of one, and the way they've stated it there isnt one. That doesnt mean it doesnt exist, but frankly, I wouldnt believe anyone claiming to be certain based on the general sparseness of any data on the subject.
why do we have to do the MSQ? 🛌
you can always buy the conveniently priced skip :v
All you have to do is follow the Easy 80 pts box. Slots being wrong doesnt give you negatives.
thnx
lol how much is that? also not a good idea tbh
how can you apreciate beingf end game in an mmo if you didnt work for it
5.5 is in april?
5.5 is in April, yes.
April 13
Its nit even march
Buying an MSQ skip is generally a pretty terrible idea when the game is so heavily based on the story. Plus you'd need to buy a job skip as well potentially to get high enough level to advance into ShB. People who do this on their first character generally have extremely bad experiences.
Because the net result tends to be someone who has no idea how to play their job being dumped into content that assumes you spent the last 70 levels learning how to play your job.
and other players tend to....not be particularly appreciative of that.
yeah and holminster will NOT be kind to you
to be fair though, if you put even minimal effort into learning your class, you really don't need 70 levels of mostly casual content where literally pressing one button will get you through first
you can easily be more competent at a class by just spending 10-15mins looking into it that you would playing it for the 120hours or whatever leading up to ShB(or well I guess you might get stuck on one of the solo instance near the end of SB that a lot of people complained about back when, not sure if they nerfed these)
The more experienced players and mentors of this reddit discord near universally all agree that buying skips are a terrible idea
Take that as you will.
I disagree if its someone completely new to FF14, or more particularly, completely new to MMO's. There's basic knowledge that you gain along the way that you're just not gonna have. Someone with no context cannot just "look at a guide" and "get it".
what's the point of doing the ishgard fates?
the fact you see people who have no clue about the game in ShB dungeons, even though they didn't skip, shows that the MSQ really doesn't teach you a whole lot, you're very very rarely forced to learn anything
because most of the content will either be overgeared, or someone else will cover for you
I'm not saying it's a good thing to skip
just that skipping doesn't necessarily make you a worse player
A free level on any crafter/gatherer and some sky builders scrips
@nova umbra basically just a big burst of Doh or Dol exp and scrips every now and then
If you're referring to the restoration fates, its really just free exp and scrips
yeah I can see what you mean - its just the msq has slowed down levelign so much rn
since level 50 its been such a drag I swear 1-50 is the same time for me as 50-55
are the restoration fates permanent
Nah. Each one is a one-time event as the restoration progresses on your particular server.
Once your server completely finishes restoration, it's gone for good
That content between the end of ARR and HW was released while the level cap was 50 so they don't want you levelling too quickly before HW
Ah, I see. Thanks
Once you actually start HW the exp gains will shoot back up
oh right I see
Are tome gears automatically better than crafted stuff?
e.g. Cryptlurker > Exarchic
Always
this assumes both are unmelded
Hrm. doesn't that mean that eventually, everyone starts the new raid (assuming no new crafted gear) with Tome gear?
since Shadowbringers there's no point to crafted gear once you can get tome and raid gear and yes
Ah. Hrm. Bother.
I was hoping to find an excuse to craft Exarchic Casting gear, but im all kitted out in Tome gear
(back in stormblood, Bard used a few crafted pieces to max out Crit since repitoire proced on crit rather than 40% per DoT)
Its money
does magic damage scale with your main weapon?
Weapon damage affects all form of damage
And your job main stat as well
Scales based on both your weapon damage, main stat depending on healer or caster, and some other stats
@stable herald then just do it
but the process of gathering -> crafting JUST for glam aint worthit
for me, that is
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
erm, current NM raid gear is also > crafted, right?
It's your glam
@simple shore I GOT THE PLOT!!
Grats on completing Housing Savage.
I REALLY gotta find a website to easily compare stats
instead of tabbing back and forth
housing extreme xD
Ariyla
Or whatever that new site is
Hi yes I can't type
a bit off-topic sorry
but i was asking housing questions before and @simple shore was answering
so crazy, amazing plot with ocean view in limsa and i was the only one here, all morning

/jk
congrats on your new plot
Now time to spend the next week crafting and buying all of the furniture
when does the Valentine's event go away again
From Wednesday, 10 February 2021 at 8:00 to
Monday, 8 March 2021 at 14:59 (GMT)
oh pog
more info here
quick question
can i teleport to my plot the same way i can teleport to my apartment?
yes
Just need a mini aetheryte
you'll need to buy a mini aetheryte for your plot
ah ok
Buy with seals
Either off the MB or with company seals
And it'll permanently take up an outdoor housing slot which is annoying but the TP cost is always 50% off
hi. can you get memories from fates if you are below 80? e.g BLU?
yes
how far can you quest on a trial account? I thought it only contains ARR but iirc I just finished that (got a credit roll and everything) but I still have more MSQs
i've finished 10 fates in a row and not one dropped
@flat yew All the way through the first expansion right up to the beginning of the second expansion
yeah fate drop rates are rly bad and rng
are there some connecting quests between the two expansions then or are they after-credit ARR?
yes
been thinking of redoing my house but what is a good way to start with that? got no space left from my retainers to hold items, the storage space in my house is almost if not full already and i cant sell of items of the MB once i have placed them down.
and by some, it's close to 80 quests and that's if you don't include the alliance raids which are required before you start Heavensward
@onyx kiln looks like you'll have to discard or vendor the stuff you don't want unless you want to buy another retainer
what is the price for them again?
oh damn, I thought I was close to finishing the trial haha
2 dollars every 30 days iirc
based on your current sub cycle
So it's only 1 dollar if you have 15 days left
are there one 3 types of small estate?
i only see wood, stone and composite
are there more to unlock?
if you mean the outward appearance of them then yes, there are more
You have to craft them either from regular synthetics or using an FC workshop
The latter of which requires a lot of materials
Is eureka synced to 70?
yes
Yes
Rip
yes
sorry again, any new guides for 5.45 relic & skysteels yet?
That's largely dependent on the context of where you're asking
For example - i could point to FFlogs and say "Samurai has more parses logged than any other job"
for the current tier
Since everyone can be all jobs on the same character, i think this is the best way to measure it
Yeah thqt makes sense
Hey guys, is it safe to buy the game while it's on sale and activate the code later when i hit lvl60, or will the subscription time start immediately ?

Dosn't let me download the game :( how do I fix it?
what do I do with all the crafting mats from the gathering proifessions?
try a vpn.
what role should I be doing command missions as to put in the least amount of effort possible?
use something on those 1 month free trials, set it japan, download the patch and stuff
probably dps?
Thanks
like will peopl buy my fish and stuff, and how do I know what prices?
for the emotes can I do halatali 10 times or does it have to be different missions?
you can check price history and other prices on the martketboard while putting them up
so you can match or undercut lowest
is there an online resource for the prices?
Just look it up in game, its easy. read the buttons
Its better to check the price when you're in game
as it shifts rapidly all the time
online resources are a step behind as they ask that people use 3rd party stuff to record the data
but not everyone does
Do u really need to install a VPN to play this ?? What an unnecessary hassle
You could try mobile data or some other internet connection to download
I literally fire up a program before and after launching XIV
and it wasn't an everytime thing
how long does it take approximately to max out 1 zones shared FATES?
just for patching.
Nothing to be thankful about as of now. Yesterday it was a hassle to get the CD key. Now the game won't download
it was also: one solution
the one that worked for me when re-installing xiv on a new rig
depends on the zone, tempest is fast cause there's no level sync so it'd be like 60 fates x 3-5 minutes per fate ~ 3-4 hours, other zones probably 5-7mins per fate x60
I'm about to be thankful steam has refunds.
alright mate but its really simple to just get a vpn on trial and patch
but you don't wanna do like 10 minutes of extra setup one time just to patch then...bye I guess?
Heyhey! I am about to make a homeworld transfer to Behemoth (NA) is it possible to make a character there with the same name to get a free name change or is this forbidden?
5.45 crafting relic step is basically forced learning expert recpie crafting https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jna1LeldTyAJKN7ciCc7UhqcvK6U8wNdmuAF4Tx3_rk/edit# gathering step is going to diadem and slamming down cordals like an alcoholic
Expert Crafting Strategy 5.4 Why another Expert Guide? (with 3 days left in rankings xd) Because I still see people make struggling or making mistakes that make expert crafting harder and more frustrating than it should be. I think with the proper understanding and strategy, expert crafts can...
it's allowed, it's a feature
(just make sure you have normal sub, and not entry, since you won't be able to transfer to a world you already have a character on, learned from personal experience >.>)
So its possible here? In other games youll get a error xD (and i found oput that myself some mintues ago xD)
yeah it'll work
noice!
is there a way to turn speech bubbles off for boss text etc?
cause i literally just died in dr normal cause i couldnt see what i had for debuffs passed the text
in-game no, with mods maybe, you can move the debuff bar in HUD editor so edit around the text box being there
Yo! Free trialer here. Got my first class to 60 while in early HW, so I thought I would level a second one to not let that MSQ XP go to waste. I'm doing ARC, currently at lv15, however I'm unsure of what best methods I have to get through classes. Knowing I'm gonna be doing this over and over again, I wanted to ask how can I maximize my EXP income, when I've done all Sidequests I have access to and PotD queues are slow.
!faq altlvlguide
Use that.
you really should move the debuff bars. they're in a pretty jank spot
the UI is customizable for a reason
Lemme give it a read.
is potd 51-60 still locked to trials despite them being able to level to 60? 
idk
no
queues for that should be almost instant
up to 100 irc
no wait
i think its fully unlocked now
yea i think they changed it when they updated the trial to include hw
once you go through the inactive 1-50 floors, you get a new starting point at 51-60 which is the best for exp, and really active especially with some recent endgame content requiring potd grinding
so if that's available to trial users that would be your best bet, but im not all caught up with the trial limits 
yea its unlocked, all google results are showing it
Nice, consolegames wiki is outdated on that regard then.
hello i am new and i want to create a character on spriggan but i cant what might the be the reason behind that?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
^
A "less active time of day" tends to be between 5-7AM local time to that datacenter, just as a note.
oh ok i understand
Yeah, I knew what I was getting into by playing this early today. Got my first go at PotD yesterday and it didn't even take 5 seconds to get a party.
thx, but what i really need is the initials. for skysteels, i need to know which mats i need to farm & which i need to spend with scrips in advance & how does getting turn in mats going to contribute & overall, how many mats i need to prep in numbers roughly.
also, i think it's just for DoH relics. would be great if there's also guides for DoW/DoM/DoL as well
Just thought I'd get something else to do for levels until then; hunting log is complete, MSQ's too high on level requirement, I cleaned the map from sidequests on my way through the story...
DoW/DoM are completely unrelated to anything regarding Skysteel, so it wouldnt be in such a guide.
my initial question is asking for both DoW/DoM & DoH/DoL tho
They're two unrelated questions. Are you current on the combat relic, or have you not started it at all?
i want to do both
Not an answer.
just guides for both, please, if any
do you have a recollection/500 weapon?
Then you dont really need a guide. Just go to Gangos and do what the quest says to do.
You cant "farm anything ahead of time"
u can for DoH at least, the part where it need scrips, if any
Okay, but as i stated, those are completely unrelated. There are zero similarities or crossovers between combat job relics and the crafter/gatherer skysteel tools
i always do weekly custom deliveries. would be waste if scrips can be used for them & i didnt prep beforehand
huh?
i'm asking for guides, not comparison
then for 515 combat you need to complete CLL/DR norm, spam labby/ST/WOD 15 times (or non existant drops in bozja), a one time quest where you do HW and SB alliance 18 times each (or bad fate rng), and then finally spam dr norm or potd to allocate stats
that's it. there is no guide
Yeah that's my point. For DoW/DoM just....go to Gangos and follow what the quest tells you to do.
You dont need a guide to do that.
and i have no idea if a guide even exists for the skysteel stuff yet.
what about best way to farm?
i saw alot of syrcus/VA/rabanastre PF for example, but not others
The new skysteel tools, for lack of a better way of saying it, are largely pointless and only for completionism.
achievements
I've made a macro for 5.45 relic crafts but since it's expert recipes that's usually a bad idea unless want to farm the diadem materials then shut off your brain
edit: yes at the npc. to use alc recipie as example
5 Approved Grade 4 Artisanal Skybuilders' Spring Water
5 Approved Grade 4 Artisanal Skybuilders' Raspberry```
idk. im not bothering with it yet because it serves no purpose beyond looking nice.
i just found this on google, & seems like for DoH, there's still scrips spending, but it wasn't really clear how many u can prep in advance:
ok... i'm guessing there's no definitive guide yet, or ppl who can answers these completely not online yet. i'll ask later. thx tho
once the npc is unlocked then can gather mats in advance for multiple jobs but the recipies are quest locked iirc
I'll need to check if I can look at the recipies for jobs not named carpenter (for relic)
It comes down to, because these tools were largely made "not relevant" once we knew the thresholds for the 5.4 crafts, and we know thats the last real recipes we'll get until 6.0, there's not going to be as many resources working on it.

the bonus i get from daily roulette leveling spreads only on 1 character or i can get it again but on different class?
it's once a day for one class on a character
thank you 🙂
so no reason to do it multiple times
so getting flame seals going to be easy as i can see
guildhest roulette also give seals
after your roulettes, do the the GC expert delivery
there's no limit on the amount of gear you can turn in
turns out spamming fates is some nice XP
FATEs are good for exp under level 15
i have a level 55 main job and am leveling fishing but its not getting boosted
what's sishing
fishing?
gatherer/crafters don't get armory bonus
only combat classes
The best way to level up HW jobs (30 to 50) is spamming dungeons around your level right?
for healers and tanks, yes
(The same applies to SBL and SHB jobs)
And for a dps?
potd
Palace of the Dead
also only leveling dungeons are good for exp
repeating floors 51-60 and deleting your save after each run
the level capped dungeons (level 50, level 60, and level 70 dungeons) are terrible for exp
Curious, why PotD doesnt apply also to tank and healer?
because dungeons give more exp per run, and are more time efficient
but the dps queue times kill the efficiency
Because tank/healer has quicker que times for dungeons
Ok!
but you need to do the smq anyways though but that is so slow for leveling I played 5 hours day and got from 52 to 54
Leveling dungeon what you mean?
You mean there are within dungeons, distinctions?
so for HW, they are:
dusk vigil (level 51)
sohm al (level 53)
the aery (level 55)
the vault (level 57)
great gubal library (normal) (level 59)
any "max level" dungeon for a given expansion is shit xp
like 50, 60, 70
anything inbetween is fine
Once in 50, you can start making msq, altho dungeons level faster yes
basically dungeons that are included part of the leveling roulette
do you get bounus exp for the 2nd leveling roulete for that day?
certain msq dungeons are not part of the leveling roulette (ie, belsaer's wall, keeper of the lake, etc)
yes it's not gender locked
the daily reset just happened, 14 minutes ago
so if u ran a roulette recently, you can run it again
okay great tahnks 🙂
There's still a chance they'll run the event again
I really want noctis attire uhh
generally dungeons with an odd level number are leveling dungeons
and dungeons with level numbers that end in 0 are level-capped dungeons are wont be good for exp
the new melee class was said to use same gear with dragoon right?
those are dungeons that occur at the end of each expansion
Ok thanks partners for the help! 👍
Is it possible to buy premium items via gil off of players
premium items can't be traded on market board
Rip
its complicated but mostly no
there are non-premium ver of it though , taht looks totally the same
it will say marketboard prohibited in the item description
It technically depends on the item because some old event items that people have access to can still sell them
Like the valentione's bed on sale right now is also still in game
but you couldn't ask someone to sell you one from the mogstation
If someone had told me an MMO's story would make be emotional I would have laughed them out of the room
But damn
I highly recommend doing the Dark Knight quests
even if you have no interest in the class, the storyline/plot is perhaps better than the game even
For the new resistance weapon, what item do you need to reroll it?
is the hat cool?
Its a moogle hat with a heart
nice
The event post has previews
this site lists the rewards
you also get a nice moogle plushie
thank you
So I started replaying, and I remember doing something to get higher in ranks in a Grand company, but I don't remember why I did that
Is this a requirement to unlock quest, like maybe the Hunt quest or things like that?
The Lodestone post tells the location
I think, in the Order of the Twin Adder
I thought in limsa cause thats where all deco is
I got up to second serpent lieutenant, I remember it took me a bit of time, but I can't remember why I did it
ranking up in a grand company is not required for any main story quests IIRC
Iirc
I was trying to get a set for fashion, that need Centurio Seals
You do need to be a certain rank to unlock hunts
and to buy a house/apartment too? i think
Ok, so that's why I did that, I was trying to unlock hunts
Welp ty, time to continue, or to find another set for fashion since lot of them got added since I last played
Do I need to do something to buy Fleeting Rays Orchestrion Roll ?
I am looking at this NPC and he doesn't have it
But everywhere it says to buy it here
are you talking to the right NPC?
Sounds like you need to do a fate?
I am talking to Chachamun
Available for purchase from Chachumun in Eastern Thanalan following completion of Attack on Highbridge FATE series, 5,000 gil
whats the recharge rate on leves?
3 per 12 hours
ty

Big dumb question from someone who has paid absolutely no attention to Isgardian Restoration until a few days ago. After if finishes, what will go away? Will items like emotes that cost Skybuilders' Scrips be gone or will you still be able to earn them?
Everything that is currently in place for the Ishgardian Restoration will remain.
The only thing that went away were the leaderboard rankings.
if im doing level 50 msq then does that mean i can move ontot he 1st expansion soon?
it depends on which level 50 msq you are on
If someone uploads their log and I'm in their group, do I also get the log on my account or do I have to upload it myself, separately?
there's around 50-100 level 50 quests
80, precisely. Iirc.
the ultimate weapon?
you will likely have to do at least 50 more quests
there are six patches of level 50 quests after that
Then you've still got 80 quests to go before Heavensward.
to get to heavensward
??? 80 ?
what the F?
for realz 😄
dont worry it's all setting up for heavensard
along with a ton of optional content, if you were looking for more to do
the story gets quite good
Just put an audiobook on, mute the background music and slog through it. Most of it is pretty uninteresting, but it gets better, I swear. And the other post-expansions are more interesting and short.
so am I going though the end game content for the vanilla base game
the 2.X patch content has been trimmed down
Basically, you're playing through the "post expansion" patch content from 2.1-2.55, which originally was released in pieces over the course of two years.
Every expansion has a similar setting.
yeah, these are the quests that were added in the 2 years between release of the base game and release of Heavensward
often called "2.X"
oh okay 🙂
For reference, we're currently in patch 5.4 of Shadowbringers.
yeah, each of the expansions works the same way
they add more quests over the course of 2 years
what happens when you finnish the smq you can do endgame stuff?
savage / ultimate content
No
There's more than just Savage/Ultimate when you finish the MSQ
Leveling DRG - should I just vendor all my old gear...or should I keep if i Ievel a future job?
Keep your level 70+ armors
well future job isn't confirmed for maiming, and it'd start at 70, so eh
i would save your old gear to put on your retainers
I'd maybe keep like malika well set or something and rebuy augmented scaevan
unless you are absolutely sure you won't give your retainer a lancer job
Pre level 50, you can keep a few Disciple of War armor
Afterward, only accessories are worth keeping because samurai and monk uses Strength accessories too
but not dragoon?
They are leveling dragoon
And is considering what to keep
So, they can keep Strength accessories for samurai/monk if they want to
And disciple of War armors for pugilist/monk or rogue/ninja
what happens if you level without the SMQ
you just can't do most content
hi i am new and i have a green question mark in the middle of my screen is their a way to move it ?
click on it to open it and it'll go away after
thank you @manic flare and @warped nest
i know that but i dont want it to pop up randomly
and be annoyingly in the middle of the screen
can i use a weapon that has high level reqs for glamour and keep using it on new obtained weapons?
Is the new weapon higher equip level or lower equip level?
higher equip level
i am like 45 and the weapon has lvl 60 reqs
ah sorry , didn't read properly , probably will be lower
for a while
You cannot make weaker weapons look stronger
This is determined by the Equip requirements (not item level)
I also have a weird question on the "Best in slot" button on your specific class..
i want to use the skin of the weapon
Ask away, Tiger
when I hit recommended - it'll do this one
instead of this
becasue it has 4 sets of stats and Stats > Armor?
The top has higher main stat
That button pick gear by prioritizing primary stat
the recommended button selects the best equipment by item level. arr equipment had cases where it would derp and suggest nonsense equipment (caster armor on a tank) simply because of item level and not stats. in that case you get 1 extra stregnth with suggested and same vitality
Recommend gear gocused main stat
ah ok cool - thanks guys
ok - thanks!
I say until you reach max level, listen to the "recommended gear" button. Even if it's slightly wrong, the difference won't be life and death. And most of the time it will be right.
not always
yes
thanks
You don't
That’s the cash shop costume version. It’s attached to the chest piece

Trying to use the community finder to get new recruits for the FC I’m in, but says that I’m not allowed....really to make any community search posts. Any idea what I need to do to start
You need recruiter status for your FC
I think it only defaults to leader so if you aren't that then you need to have the leader make you a recruiter from your FC page on the lodestone
how hard it is to do EX trials as an healer? compare to Tank and DPS.
the reason I wanna go for EX as an healer is cuz I haven’t learn an proper rotation on Tank and DPS, I’m a lazy bun don’t hit >.<
where is the seasonal store?
depends on if content just hits harder or has special mechanics that target healers specifically
oh so just mechanics?
As sch, am I supposed to be able to solo the cloud in E9S?
depends on the EX, and depends if you want to do it sync'ed vs unsync'ed
also depends on if you're doing the EX as part of a static or with random people
yeah ||good example is tsukumi ex meteors. by default one targets each role so the generally accepted strat is healers adjust to place their metero away in the fat side of the "moon"||
well I wanna do the 7 ex of SHB to get the mounts and then get that dragon mecha I saw in the live leatfer
Nah
people actually do practice runs on PF
Only Hades is challenging cause its long and there's more than 2 mechanics in thr whole fight
is emerald weapon part of the ShB mounts?
There's forced cutscenes and 4 phases so like what, 8-10mins+ a pull
There's enrages in every ex
even in the ARR, HW ones?
Yes
so to get that dragon mecha do I need to get all the 7 mounts thst drop in the 7 shb ex??
yes
Yes
Titania, innocence, ruby, hades, emerald and diamond and SoS ex
is the drop rate for mounts higher in the ShB trials than in the ARR/HW ones?
oh god SoS
cuz the ARR/HW ones are abysmally low
Titania, innocence, ruby and emerald are snooze fests
All but emerald and SoS have had their drop rates buffed
Throughout all EXs
what's wrong with SoS
i've only heard that about titania
There's actual mechanics in SoS
aha
ShB drop rates are roughly the same (for the ones that got their boost) as HW drop rates
ARR is iirc roughly higher since there's no totems to fall back on
how many runs do you need to get the mount?
50 i think
Anywhere from 1 to 99
on 1 EX??
Depends how lucky you are
yes
T^T
50 runs per ex trial
99 is if your luck is very shit
On it dropping and winning the roll
and have to use totems to buy it
yeah that’s even more ugly
where are you getting 50 runs per ex trial
wait you can by the mounts?
for expansions extreme trials, yes
if your luck is bad, you get totems
they eventually get added to the totems
you purchase the mount with totems
but it requires 99 totems i believe
and u only get 1 totem per run
which is why i said 99 runs is if your luck is super shit
welp
And 1 if you use up all your luck for 5 years
i've seen a guy get a mount on his very first run
I will have to do that to 7 trials to get one bloody mount >.> oh the sweat and nerves ruined to get that mecha dragon
Thankfully only SoS and hades are the only ones remotely challenging cause you can't really skip their key mechanics
Others are just snooze fests
Ruby and emerald are fucking jokes
ok so how hard are they if I do this as an healer?
Just do the mechanics
it depends on how good your party is
is ragnarok good for raiding?
Chaos is fine
my datacenter lacks a lot of endgame raiders
ok
how does PF for mounts work?
ok so how are EX unlocked? after I finish the trial then can I do the ex right after?
As a low level is there anything big i should unlock that may not unlock during msq?
good, cuz once I finish the normal mode I will get right to farming the mounts :3 and if bored I take an break or continue Shb
Challenge log in limsa uppers
Your mount
mounts
around what level should i head there? I'm 15 currently just restarted yesterday
main story quest level 20
kk
If it shows under the main scenario tracker, do it
Hmm... i saw a couple of people, floating, holding a glowing spear. Diff jobs. Any idea what those are?
probably owners of the omega statue
Omega emote
using the emote that comes with
is that emote available already?
Oh
comes with the statue no otherway to get
same as shiva emote
Sure is cool looking
And thats why its 200$ :)
where is the seasonal store?
how hard is Thordans reing ex synced compared to shb ex ?
