no imean the 24-man critical engagements
the 24-man CEs i think usually need more people at a time
that isnt CLL
so it's either all or nothing
so if only like 8 people join it would be very hard to pull off which is why people dont do it
i think it's because people need to play it more seriously?
join the one that has more people, easier
if you're leveling something and want ezpz mettle you wouldn't go for one with harder difficulty that needs a more specific teamcomp or something
to ask for a party and such
i know you need at least a full party or two to do the 24-man ones cuz they're harder in difficulty, least that's what i heard
What’s best way to level alternate jobs ?
dungeons
!faq altleveling
or for 70+, bozja
Bozja?
!faq altlevelguide
!faq altlvlguide
there...
lmao
i think it’s better to google bozja; but it’s a side content for leveling, gears, lore, etc
available at the end of base ShB
I'm thinking of transferring my Character to a different data center but I'm working towards the Ishgardian restoration achievements for the mount will I lose my progress if I do so or am I safe to transfer?
which achievement?
can you solo potd from floor 1-50?
yeah, some people solo 1-200
the website makes it sounds like only current season ranking(which are over) would not be transferred but not 100% sure
the other points should be fine since it counts as an achievement and achievement progress shouldn't be lost
you might be at 0pt after transferring, but you'd still have like 200k in the achievement or whatever
I'm working to get the pteranodon mount 1 crafter is at 500K points already but I have a couple partway there and I don't want to lose my progress
that's my assumption at least, I'd maybe contact a GM to confirm
that isn't ranking isn't it?...
that or finish the 500k you can before
how much gil is needed to level a crafting skill to 80?
could be tens of millions if you just buy every turn-in/quest objective in HQ on the market, could be free if you gather stuff and craft it yourself
oh right lol I would probably just buy most of the hard to find mats but craft it myself to get the exp altough I have a level 50 mining so I could use that
Anyone have a good 3rd party recommendation for someone focused on crafting/gathering?
Just looking for a nice second monitor window to track good fishing spots, or recipes etc.
also https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/ for big fish tracking
A big fish tracker for FF14 that uses rarity to sort
can someone help me
stuck on archer lvl 5 quest
a matter of perspective
i found two targets i have to destroy
but they don't trigger the counter

i hope the 5 people who own one will enjoy ff14 on ps5
does it corss play with playstaions and the pcs?
yes it's crossplay pc, steam and ps4 play on the same servers and can play with each other
but if you own it on pc and want to play your character on ps4 you need to buy the game for ps4 again
attacking them doesn't progress the quest? can always look it up oin yt to see you're doing what you're supposed to be doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfFuqVNRK4s

@Aegis
e9s is confusing 😔
decided to buy a controller keyboard because else it takes me 10 mins to type anything and everyone gets triggered at me 😔
life of a healer
😔
epic fail
"... too many fails, let's disband" lol 😔
... i'm implying that i need help with mechs
what kind of mecs?
i need to think it through, but basically i've got to the point where you need to stand either side of her, do i stack with one of the tanks? i've been in 2 different groups and both say/do it differently, and i can't type fast enough on controller to ask questions without them getting triggered. if i'm h1 or h2, i stand with corresponding tank, but then they said you need to go to the left or right of her, which i don't understand
after puddle drop?
puddle being seed?
yeah
yes i think if that is what you mean
the one you have to stand after knockback and drop a purple puddle that you then get tethered to
if that’s the case u don’t want to stack with any tank
yep
then we break chain then we run with correct tank right? but then they said to stand left or right of her
opposite of other healer
which is confusing me
So Ive never played Scholar because I only played Summoner to 80 and kinda neglected it.
How would I go about learning the class and healing in general? Should I do say White Mage from level 1 or try redoing earlier dungeons as Scholar until I work my way up?
u stay on the opposite site of the other healer
u don’t stack with tanks during that
i think he is talking about after the drop
?
ahh ok so i just have to be on the opposite side of healer, as like a group stack?
hmm @alpine shadow not sure i'm pretty confused lol
sry for my bad explanations of where i am
are you talking about after dropping the puddle? or when you are dropping?
yes afterwards
Yeah, queuing directly for a lower level dungeon and giving it a go is a good way. You can gradually work your way up the benchmarks. Start with a 30, move up to a 50, etc
You can also do your Hall of the Novice for healer.
It'll teach you some basics
so, after dropping the puddle, you would want to be either north or west iirc.
depending on the direction the boss is facing
anyway i think i get it a bit better now, i just need to wait for keyboard to arrive and for me to become less panicky when ppl get triggered @ me. ok tyvm for help @alpine shadow 💚
do they tell which kind of mechanic they are doing?
for example
ilya or
whatever other name
Hover over your chatbox and you can press Triangle or square to temporarily expand it
Ok fair, thanks. Its what I was thinking of as well.
ohh damn nice ty @slate arrow
Mmhmm. And a simple "Hey, I'm new to healing, still learning" statement at the start of a run goes a long way.
usually, what our party does, we drop our puddles, go north or west for tank and healer, wether the boss is facing either north or west, then after we get tethered, go to the other side from north to south, west to east
Yeah, we cleared e9s when it got first released a few weeks
which of the 4 did you find hardest?
Yeah true. I'm almost done maxxing the Gear on my Summoner so I should be able to start using the tokens towards my Scholar so that I can have two classes at 80 that can do new content.
Yeah. If you get used to healing, you'll have much quicker roulette and weekly tome grind spam too.
i've always played healer and caster. i have no idea how to tank and i'm pretty anxious about learning but i'd like to get drk to 80
I am not quite sure, most of them were quite equal in difficulty, e12s was the hardest in the end.
e9s is the worst when it comes to caster uptime though.
All of them are reasonably hard, as expected for the final tier of an expansion
The difficulty scales pretty linearly this tier tbh
Though 9 and 10 can be swapped in the difficulty scale depending how good you are at dealing with those types of mechanics
i've been playing on and off since 2016 and i've never cleared anything more than 2/4 of each tier 😔 seems that whenever i made progress i either stopped playing for a while or the next tier came out
Same statement works for tanks "New to tanking, still learning"
Just dive in and give it a go
@green grail i did the mistake of having my job crystal equipped
figured it out thx
I don't know if this has been announced yet but are expansions and save data going to transfer from PS4 to the PS5 version when that comes out?
Yes, its a free transfer service
Great!
For farming mob drops, is it efficient to go at it with a ninja and try to use Mug to increase the yield?
Also, does Mug have to be the last or before-last attack, or does it increase the yield if it's used whenever before killing?
Nah, mug is too long cooldown and barely does anything
So just use my highest level class?
Yes just nuke them down

are there any more master recipes for level 80 outside of what's available from scrip exchange?
just want to be sure im not missing any, like the ones from Mor Dhona
Mastercraft 7+8 is all the level 80 endgame recipes
8 might only be buyable from Eulmore’s house of splendors
Hi uhm important question
I own FF14 on Steam.
If I buy the Complete Edition from the Square Enix Homepage, will I be able to activate it on my current existing Account?
quick question guys, i want to pentameld my level 80 gear, do i need a crafter class at 80 for it?
(via msp or via steam) idk if that makes any difference
Correct.
in hades ex is the norm for dps to go opposite their tether during nabriales or to go close to it?
should i myself be the level 80 crafter or can my friend do it
because its the cryptlurker set, which is untradeable
I think Steam and Squenix licenses aren't compatible. If you bought the game on Steam, buy the complete edition on Steam. That being said, unless you have poured money into your Steam license, it might be better to switch to standalone.
No. The Steam and PC version of the game are incompatible. If you own the game on Steam, you will not be able to activate the PC version on the same account.
So I should rather get the Standalone stuff?
Cryptlurker cannot be pentamelded. A materia melder can meld it for you, or your friend can. Overmelding you must do yourself I think.
this ^^
If you're on Trial on Steam, yes.
I bought the Starter Edition on Steam for 10 bucks
oh
No. You cannot use any PC version with the same owned Steam Edition.
I mean switch over to standalone and purchase the Pack there @open coral
They're entirely incompatible. You'd need to make a new account - losing access to all progress on your Steam account.
Yea thats what I meant
by chance, is the hotfix gonna last for 1 day? no
Math says 20 bucks saved on Complete is better than buying the Steam edition full-price. Plus Complete is Starter+ShB
oh no but I'll lose my Ninja lvl 50 or something T_T
What about Stormblood @gritty oracle ?
SB is included in ShB
oh okay nice
Aim your tether towards the first or third meteor tower, since it goes off at the same time as the second tower. Otherwise, just don't hit any other dps or healer with it.
If I buy it from here https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/ > thats standalone?
Correct
and all managing goes through Mogry Station?
Think so. Not 100% sure.
Yes, but remember you'll need to be creating an entirely new MogStation account to register the PC version.
Wait you can't own multiple licenses on one account?
No
Yea... aww damn I dont want to do the Realm Reborn stuff again XD
Not when it comes to the PC and Steam versions.
That's what we've been telling you.
You cannot own both PC and Steam on the same service account.
How much is ShB on steam? Complete includes starter, so you may be better off buying shb on steam.
Yea I know. I dont mind pruchasing it again if it means to have all Addons.
35 bucks
if its that
That's the complete edition, yeah.
kaufen... fuck, that's a vocab word I should remember.
Too many years since I refreshed my German though.
but you already have starter on steam, right? You don't need complete. you need ShB.
😂
it means to buy I think
kaufen = to buy
If he has the Steam starter edition, he can't get the PC ShB edition.
I meant steam shb. Does steam not have shb only?
thats what my Mogry Station says
Yeah, you only have the Starter, so you'd need to buy ShB on Steam to get SB and ShB.
bruh thats a whole 15bucks more than starting anew XD
lol
- I need Gametime again
what you screenshotted was complete
Hold on. They can't be the same price. That's stupid.
Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
XD
Vie's gonna have to do the checking on this because I'm US-based.
they are tho idk
let me see if I have Steam installed
So I can't look at EU steam prices.
Mine shows in dollars. 😄
Aura, are they the same price? I'm just installing Steam now
why is this so complicated XD
Oh
Steam doesn't seem to sell ShB as a standalone?
Maybe?
Or
Wait
So I can see they have the Starter Edition for $20
And then ShB for $40
wtf Steam
@acoustic shore Just forget about Steam. Blitz your old account and start fresh.
It's cheaper, and easier in the long run because SE doesn't play stupid games.
Yea I guess...
If you don't want to play through the content again, you can just buy a level skip and story skip to the end of ARR
Start up in HW
Don't forget to get a recruitment code with your new account!
^
I've heard about the level skip but thats like 20 bucks or smth?
Or something.
I've never bought a level or story skip because I'm cheap, but also stubborn.
xd same
So I don't actually know how much they cost.
I bought a hw skip for an alt of mine, it was like 25$ (I have a NA account)
ARR skips are like 18 or so?
something like that
I mean, you can pretty much get through ARR in 20-ish hours /playtime if you skip all the cutscenes and go for the most efficient routes.
plus flying makes stuff so much easier
i get so lost in this game
can someone help me read the map.. so i go to go to that bit in uldah... but where is point leading me too.. its just outside the map zone, and there's no arrows to guide me so i feel lost.
I have a few points where i need to go somewhere but the map's labels make no sense at first glance. like i was doing hunting log.. and it said go to this point on the map... then i went there only to find out the bit it wanted me to go was on the entire other side of a blocked section of the map. only accidentally finding it when exploring and seeing the you entered location popped up.
press the white text in the quest log on the right of ur screen
found it
so i had to go to ruby road... but no where told me where ruby roads was, even when i hovered hover the ruby roads map, it didn't tell me that it was called ruby roads...
When you have a flag like that, it's an indicator that you need to go to the named zone.
so i had to just presume i knew that ruby roads was right.. the only information it gave me was go to the alchemist which i went to in the royal place. which was wrong.
there should be arrows on ur map telling the direction of that quest
i didn't know ruby roads is Ul'Dah.
and there was no arrow
other then the one to the elevator that took me to the wrong place.
If it's in a different "instance" area, there won't be an arrow on your minimap.
However if you use the "Map" button in your quest journal to show you where the objective is, it will pull up the area's map where you can see the zone information on the left side.
kinda poor design. tell player to go to location they have never been. Don't tell new player the correct location but generic location name. Player is then goes to a location name that they have never been told about or seen before.
The quests will usually be fairly explicit about how to get somewhere.
i only use the big map. mini map doesent really help that much.
The minimap is useful within a zone for pinpointing a location since there will be an arrow pointing to the objective.
i have so many little questions like i was playing with other classes.. and it said i needed to get animal sinew.. i only had beast sinew.. didn't know how to actually get it tried killing mobs that i thought were animals. Ended up looking it up online and it still gave me no drops, it just said buy from this dude. Is there a way to farm Animal Sinew or do you just buy it?
Oh
to craft something for a quest
Drops aren't 100% guaranteed for crafting materials.
but i don't know what mob drops what
and when i search online it just needs me to merchants.
is there a way to see what items are dropped from what mobs.
You just have to kill a bunch of the appropriate enemies (or farm the appropriate BTN/MIN nodes), or buy it from an NPC vendor or the market board.
try the official database
but how do i know what the apapropiate enemies are
it tells u which mobs drop it
You can Google the items you want to get - for example: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/ee5a8615b2d/
ok
so it does not drop from squirals or animals only moles?
and shrews?
and tuco's?
Only the listed enemies drop that particular item, yes.
okay.
It has to be those specific named mobs.
so i wouldn't have been able to farm it if i wanted too as i haven't visted those locations yet.
It can't be just any moles or tuco-tucos or whatever.
i loved when i didn't realise i had to touch the crystal's for fast travel
so i ended up running everywhere till around level 20..
Saved some money that way.
though that one it did properly tell me about when i had a quest to touch the very big one for the frist time
ya for that sadly u have to read the quest dialogues, they tell u u can do that
That quest where you had to touch the one in your starter city specifically tells you that's what you should do...
In the dialogue.
i was like i wonder when i unlock mounts.. then saw a tiny crystal and saw it said unatunned.. clicked it.... and realised oh.. oh fuck im a idiot.. i have been to about 7 area with those things everywhere.. and i have ignored them all thinking they were too just change my return point.
which was fun
i got to explore
i just can't wait till mounts
You should've also gotten an Active Help window when you first attuned to an aetheryte, explaining what those were and how they worked.
level 31 archer and 23 lancer.. can't wait till i unlock that and retainers so ic an store items
Do your MSQ 
That's how you unlock things.
oh i am now
i had the habit of doing every side quest
i found
so i am overloaded by about 15 levels for my MQ but my MQ degrades my level to match with what im doing.
i am starting to stop accepting quests
going to save them for my other classes when i level those.
I just started the ishgard restauration. Where do I get straw from? didn't find any in the diadem
Do the HW Savage Raids give bonus tomes for first time completion?
Ishgard crafting requires items from outside of ishgard.
you can use your gathering log to find out where to find the respective items.
all ishgard items are named "Grade (number) XYZ"
they do, yeah
nice, thank you <3
anyone have the skysteel part 2 macro or know where i can get it? thank you

Are the Valentione glamour a permanent item on the mogstation now?
Yes.
thx
how do i get the valentine Glamour?
the hat via current in game event, the outfits for real money on mogstation
i mean how to i trigger the in game valentines event. Do i need to be a certain level?
need to have finished the level 15 MSQ <city-state you started in> Envoy
u have to be lv15 and complete either gridanian envoy, ul’ da envoy or lominsan envoy from ur msq
Is the new savage raid doable with randoms :x ? kinda want the cerberus mount but dont have 47 friends ;O
At this point in time, I'm going to say "no".
It's barely clearable with a well-coordinated group.
Actually
Yeah
There aren't a ton of groups that have cleared DR Savage yet.
so its better to wait a bit more ;O ?
Your best bet will be to find a Discord where people organize runs for your datacenter.
when large swathes of people are clearing/reclearing
if u wait this content will die
just be prepared to die a lot if you do decide to go in soon
I haven't looked into it yet but how important is haste gear for Drs?
In terms of hitting dps checks for the savage is it mandatory?
one question the 1-70 buff exp of a server keeps forever?
90 days or until the server stops being a prefered server, whatever happens first, afaik
haste gear isn't necessary to clear savage
u can do custom builds via lost actions in it so it’s not really but idk
It means they unlock something, from dungeons to classes to skills
It can be many things, but usually they are worth doing
Dungeons, beast tribes, hildi brand...
hah no ic an extract Materia?
what is materia?
Oh big question
I get that error while playing a lot. like every day since i started playing i get this error multiple times.
does it follow with error 2002 when u try to relog?
if it happens at the same time each day, try to hard reset ur internet router and unplug ur entire pc from the power socket for like 2 mins
if u play on pc that it
I got dced a lot when I played on a us server, I'm in the eu
So do i
as long as it doesn’t followed by the dreaded error 2002 u re fine
its just weird its the only game that gives me this issue and also it says my connection is excellent in game.
oh
does this game want me to forward its ports specifically for its server? I know activation, and older assassin creeds and a few other companies give you really bad match making and strict NAT's if you don't forward there stuff specifically.
im from australia and i play on na server so that’s not the case
try to unplug ur pc for 2 mins then plug it back in, some folks told me that here and that’s been working wonder for me
I've played on both EU and JP servers (from NA) with no issues, so it's not because of your region.
I'm an european on crystal, I have no problems
If anyone has done seat of sacrifice extreme, there's a mechanic with fire where your character has to stay still. Can I use meditate on samurai during that mechanic?
sheath ur weapon and look at him funny
Guys I bought shadow bringers but I can’t access the way of the samurai quest because stormblood is not registered and installed?? I though if I bought shadow bringers it allows me storm blood aswell?
Sheathing is done to prevent auto attacks. Meditation won't let u auto attack
Which is why I had this question
u use anything on ur hotbar u re toast
do i need to clear an optional dungeon for to appear in duty roulette leveling ?
it does, re u at lv50?
Any recommendations for channels that have class guides on them? Just watched one and it went over my head..
i just saw someone lay down on the ground like the bed emotes in the middle of limsa. is that something we can do now or was he using something illegal?
Weskalber has levelling rotations
Glitch
weskalber ty
I haven't seen any around since its kinda new ish
lol
I mean, it could have just been /playdead ?
whats the best way to level BLU from 60 to 70?
Yeah that's what i was going to suggest
The same as leveling from 1 to 60
it wasn't, he was chaning between bed poses
Grab a level 80 friend and head out to the beach in Kholusia.
Go to the highest level possible area with a max level friend
Either that, or get a party and go to the cave in the northern area of the Lochs.
Not entirely accurate advice. The "highest level possible" area isn't always going to be the most efficient, depending on enemy respawn rates.
right
That's why the beach in Kholusia and the cave in the north of the Lochs are good - because the enemy respawn timers there are relatively fast.
Oh yeah, I never saw this trick mentioned in leveling guides but I figured it works for BLU to 60, so why not other jobs? So I grinded a level 1 cnj to 21 at azys lla over like 20 minutes with a friends help
But those are the latest enemies who can be ohkoed, so I think it's the highest level area I can go?

Because mobs give poor xp for other jobs
Blu can hit 70 in a few hours with power levelling, other jobs cant
It's significantly less efficient for non-BLU jobs.
That's why it's not mentioned in leveling guides.
There are vastly more efficient methods.
hi, i played a bit of ffxiv back in 2017 and was thinking of coming back. i have the heavensward expansion but i think i haven't finished all the quests for it. i saw there is currently a sale for ffxiv for a "complete" edition that has every expansion + the base game but also has a month of subscription. does anyone know if i can get it as a returning player since i already own base game + heavensward? it's cheaper than getting the other expansions + subscription. thanks in advance 🙂
i'm in eu btw if it matters
No, because you already own part of the content included in the "complete" edition.
even so, it's so much faster and easier to grind to 20 in the azys lla method compared to fate/potd spam
Oh yeah, PotD spam is very inefficient.
so right now my cheapest option is to get a sub + the other 2 expansions?
Potd takes 10-15 mins each for one level
Sub + Shadowbringers
We only recommend it for dps because their queue times tend to be longer.
Azys lla takes 15 mins total
You'll only need to purchase Shadowbringers. That will include both Stormblood and Shadowbringers.
And yes, a sub as well.
Thanks!
aha i see
thanks a lot @open coral @half kraken
btw is there any free trial or something for returning players?
You're welcome even though I didn't help you in any way 
anyone else not able to login? I'm stuck on the launcher logo before the login screen on PS5
Returning players don't get it no
ah you're right wrong mention 😛 thanks either way though
Though sometimes there's a "play for a few days for free if you're a returning player"
thanks
Limited event
aha i see
it's how I got my friend to attend my wedding lol
The "callback campaigns"
are these sales also rare? should i snatch it now or can i first finish heavensward and i'll get one in a few months?
If you can get the Shadowbringers expansion on sale now, no reason not to.
Since you already own the game.
oh yeah how much do new expacs go for release day?
yeah it's just that i am a bit tight right now that's why i'm trying to find the cheapest way to play
The same amount they always go for?
Same price as Shadowbringers is
Oh so like $40?
Yes
They don't put them on sale usually for at least the first 8-12 months.
They keep the price consistent
What do you get for fully completing the hunting log?
nothing except exp
A level 50 ring
and a useless ring
what time does these sales end? it says on the site that it ends 15/2 but not time
I mean probably better to play it safe and not wait till the 15th yeah?
(Today is the 15th)
Oh lmao
that's why i'm asking 😛
Imagine knowing what the current day is couldn't be me
how many hours will i have
Probably until 11:59pm.
the hunt log ring does have the class icon on it, so it could be nice for glamour
if you y'know, cared
what timezone though?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
If i have samsara how do i make it augmented?
Continue the relic quest line
Aka suffer
it says to go to zlatan, but when i talk with him he says that i already have samsara
Continue the quest line in Gangos, not from Zlatan
You do need 5.1 done
As the continuation unlocks Bojza
i did
Yes
resistance relic can be obtained without the need of fully completing the bozja quests but if u looking to get the next relic series then yes
Anybody here knows how PSN works? I switched to a new PSN for the free trial (my main is bound to an old 2015 acc where I played very little), can I still buy the full game on my main PSN and then play via the new one? Or do I have to buy on the new PSN specifically?
It's only registered to one specific account
90% sure
oh wait no
not the account
but the actual login
So the game is tied to your sqenix email not your psn account I think
Wait so, will the first sqenix mail used with the game "use up" the game so to speak, regardless of PSN?
Wondering all this because it feels better to keep all game purchases on my main psn if possible
But don't wanna buy the game and then not be able to play it
honestly I'm not sure, maybe you can buy the game on one specific psn, log into a different psn, and then actually register it on there
That's what I was thinking!! But maybe not worth the risk if nobody here can verify it works
are the level caps different for aetherpool weapons and armor?
I keep getting armor upgrades but my weapon seems stuck at 43 spamming 51-60
44, rather
Just rng
Can someone explain this? I kinda dont get it
like I get strongers as long as I use spells from a certain element?
is craftable gear only gated behind things you can gather with botanist/miner/fisher or do they also require mob drops? (especially gear needed for higher level gathering)
Its your job gauge. It shows the duration of your Astral/umbral stances, how many Umbral hearts you have an how many stacks of polygot you have for foul/xenoglossy
@faint flare I get that part, but I dont get what it exactly helps me with
You can read about it in Actions and traits > question mark ar the bottom
All jobs have a job gauge that tracks important resources and important stances
fire spells get stronger but also cost more mp the more astral fire stack u get from casting them. ice spells give u umbral ice stacks and more of them u have the more mp regen u have but ur fire spells will do less and less damage but also cost less and less mp to cast, at 3 stacks of umbral ice u get the next fire spell cast time cut to half
@flat yew certain items require mob drops, especially for leatherworkers
@leaden ginkgo essentially, the way it works out for blm is you use fire spells until you run out of MP, then transpose (before.. 68?) and use blizzard spells until you're full again
fire = damage, blizzard = mana regen phase
Thats only for aoe
You dont go to 0 mana in single target prior to the 72 trait and getting despair
oh right
it's
been awhile
but yeah, that's about all you need to know about the fancy bar before enochian
it doesn't really tell you anything you actually need to know
I'm pretty sure the gauge appears like that before you get enochian now

Check this rotation guide and you will understand it better
!faq blmleveling
@worthy rain I am yet to unlock black mage 😄
It works for THM as well
has maintenance happened or is happening, just says 6-10 but not sure if thats am or pm lol
It's tonight
kk
You can do "!maint" in #kupo-bot-spam
also that rotation image is helpful ty
For the time left
Never mind, use the low level rotations, follow the guide
So question about leveling, its my first time playing, i playing THM now. im lvl 29 but my MSQ quest are 17. Should i stick to black mage untill im done with MSQ ? or is is more beneficial to level other jobs at the same time
it's easiest to go back and level other classes later
and i presume if i switch to an other lvl 1 job from my lvl 29 THM, This lvl 1 wont be able to do my lvl 17 MSQ ?
you get an exp bonus that increases the further your highest job is from your other jobs
oh i see
rather, from the job you're levelling
and yes, you won't be able to do msq until you hit 17
So its better just to clear the MSQ i guess
No, you get an exp bonus as long as you aren't on your currently highest leveled job
It does not have to be max level or anything
Is the mogstation payment system messed up currently?
Is it possible to get a resistance weapon at lv71 if it’s an alt job?
No because you need to be 80 to pick up and turn in the quest
Alright thanks^^ is Bozja the best place besides roulettes for leveling 71-80?
better than dungeons if you consider bad queue times for dps
did you disable the chat in ur chatlog settings?
Ohh it was never enabled cause I was norma player up until now I did seem to have to enable it
In the chat logs it works now
Levequests and retainers are unlocked through main story progression?
everything is unlocked through main story progression
but yes to your specific question

what is the bot command to look at content unlock for each level
Contentunlock
how can i start the palace of the dead?
Do the quest "the house that death built" in the inn in Gridania
okay cheers
How do hunts work? Is that something I need a party for?
depends on the hunt
B-rank hunts are designed to be soloable (even the weekly target), A-ranks and above are designed for groups
how do I get there?
I see, so I should stick to those for now
can you visit other cities yet?
Why have i seen supposedly new players with really high end looking gear lol
yeah i guess i just dont know which par t of the map 🙂
New gridania south of the aetheryte
okay great cheers 🙂
it's in the same building as the airship landing
Hey was just looking at the tips on pins. It says 1.
If you started on a new server (not preferred), don't be on the trial when you hit level 30, or you lose out on 1 mil gil bonus.
What does it mean like to buy the sub before you hit lv30 or something?
Sprouts dont always mean new player...its just people who haven't finish stormblood story AND past the required hours. People can just boost an alt and be sprouy at 80
oo
Yes but there's no new servers
oh ok, thought it just mean like creating a new character. Thanks
i dont understand how people can play black mage in boss fights that cast like 1 AOE every second
like keeper of the lake
Aetherial Manipulation constantly
What does the L mean? Like they have different lettering sometimes. Sorry if it's a stupid question
Just stand in the attack dead zones.
The L is just an enemy counter
Just old FF targetting designated
You can safely disregard
So you can tell what mob is casting what
Most FFs have it
Tonberry A, tonberry B
Etc
any good servers for the new ffxiv player ?
Oh ok thanks
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
na meant discord servers for beginners
I mean you can ask questions here
ok fair enough
This is a pretty good server for new players, tbh.
We're better than the NN, at least.
Not a high bar, but still.
so i got the quest - how do i get into the palace of the dead 😄
...go where it tells you to go
Special npc in quarrymill
Is maintenance on?
then you can talk to a NPC in Quarrymill
In...
Maintenance is later.
I just failed a version check, what gives?
Bad connection?
Nope, I don't think. I was playing halo earlier
if i'm going for an HQ fish, is it safe to use Collect? will the game tell me if the fish is HQ before converting to collectable?
Collecting/collectors glove turns stuff into collectibles
Just fish normally, use Patience for higher HQ chance
i think i am going to regret entering golden saucer land
turn off the bgm and listen to the ambient sound
hey, just wondering is there someone that is well versed in the macro system that would have a chance to answer some questions in a dm? the system has me curious
do level in PotD count towards you main job?
what set fo floors 10?
Hq for fish is based on size as is collectability so a hq fish would have higher collectability
is it good exps
so 10 levels every floor - that seems better than i was getting bvefore thnaks 🙂
No
I have avoided potd so far because the idea (in my head) of it gives me wow torghast vibes which I used to find genuinely, I dunno, scary and annoying.
Not 10 levels per set
well im already got 7 level ups and im on floor 3 😄
(And torghast may be a rip off of potd...? Who knows! Wouldn’t know cos I’m avoidant.)
That's internal level ups
Your level inside doesn't matter
You level seperately inside
You get a set amount of experience for your job outside potd when you finish a set
It's a great place to learn a new job
I mean it should be popping often with relics
Imagine having friends
how do i get more cards?
Alot of wayd
conceptually PotD and Torghast are similar, but PotD lacks the anima powers that make or break a run
and whats the best way to get sauacer points?
Buying then with various currencies, winning them in matches, drops in dungeons/trials
!faq mgpguide
Oh ok. From my vv surface reading about it I thought those pomander things sounded similar hence why I was even more like god blizz really ripped it off but I am ignorant
I should do more potd I want an aether pool noulith once 6.0 drops
pomanders are more like items you can use to negate detrimental effect of floors, find hidden loot, turn all mobs into pudding for several seconds, etc.
Golden saucer felt/is so much like gambling that I got worried I would get addicted so went there and didn’t play anything lol
I just do the daily scratch cards, weekly lottery and sell duplicate cards
remember that the gold saucer uses its own currency, not gil
I bought some mole meat food cos something somewhere said it gave you exp.
all food items give a 3% exp buff
Eating any food gives you +3% exp from fighting for 30mins
But you buy it with gil though?
40 if your fc is using the food extender buff
You can only buy gold saucer currency if you completely run out of it
well not exactly but you basically have to be that low
Oh o went there to literally buy mole food even though I was like ‘k um this looks like the chocolate but whatever the Internet knows better than me who’s been playing for 7 days’
https://i.imgur.com/jdUEKNM.png is this lv80 glam for dancer?
Yes for female
iirc the standard is pink so not sure if that's the exact color
Males get black

Its their level 80 job gear
The food vendor in the gold saucer is an exception
once you get your initial mgp from doing the intro quest you can just play mini cactpot every day to get more
Gold saucer isn't really gambling because you can't lose
Lore wise it might be the case to random citizens but for you its always wins
yeah, you might misjudge if you're used to like.. ff7 gold saucer
but it's nearly impossible to lose significant mgp beyond.. literally botting losses of the mini games?
Ok well that’s why I like this channel. Learned new things! Also just learned (thanks internet) that you can save progress in potd so not a complete bust if you fuck up.
so my game is pretty messed up. yesterday my game i opened it up, and i have 2 new monitors. I just resubbed fater 6 months, and just got a 1440p 144hz monitor. my second monitor is my 1080p 144hz monitor. When i open up my game the Framerate is locked to 85, which is what my second monitor's refresh rate is at. this is when it runs on borderless window mode.
can anyone help?
If you like them you can eventually bring the weapons out of the Palace but you need to get to floor 50 to do that
you can ask at #technology-discussion
I also may have thought that about the gambling when I still mistakenly imagined you could buy gil with real life cash (like the wow token from blizz) which I have now learned is vvv not the case
im bugged in this minion mode
it says select all the hatchlings and send them another gate which i did.
and it keeps asking me to do the same
sounds like the tutorial for verminion
is running at fullscreen better thaan borderless fullscreen for this game?
seems like borderless is bugged
not as far as I know, but I recall the tutorial being weird
unfortunately I do not remember in what way
i always run at borderless, easy alt tabbing.

The padjali weapon is 3 aetherpool grips which is 30 aetherpool traded. Upgrading it to kinda is 6 more grips.
I don't currently have that option so I think you need to have hit that level in potd first
pinging elemental works, but I can't complete version check
switching to mobile data or using a vpn works
You need to clear floor 100 @warm snow
goddamn.. I hope data center visit works out well.. I live in JP and play on NA servers because that's where most of my friends play.. my JP server ping is fucking 5 ms and NA is 140-150
5ms?!?!
holy shit
I play on JPN with 180ms ping LOL
yeah, all 3 jp servers ping is 5-9ms
I guess being in japan and not random bodies of water away makes all the difference
well yeah, like I said I play on NA despite living here
so I don't actually experience said butter smooth ping
Will "skip housing cutscenes" also skip voyage cutscenes?
there's a different toggle for those afaik
Does your ping of 150 cause any problems? I want to try NA (I am in EU and get 30ms vs 140 for NA) because I found a FC I like the look of/faerie is LGBT heavy
it's nothing awful, most of the game is pretty forgiving to bad ping
As someone who's played in 170: Yes. Above a certain ping, certain classes become legit unplayable and a ton more become unfun.
but it will cause issues with certain pieces of content
certain jobs need low ping like monk, machinist, ninja and other more.
And I stupidly joined Shiva so don’t understand the chat (it is 90% German and I’m a dumb brit and double idiot cos somehow I misunderstood when choosing when it said shiva was mainly geeman and English I thought that meant the rest weren’t English at all)
You can't play mch because you can't weave during overheat. You can't play brd because you can't double weave. You'll have to change your opener and burst phases on almost all classes.
I've never actually played on lower ping as a comparison point so I don't know how bad it is
but fwiw the things they're mentioning are not things that will be gamebreakers if you're not pushing hard content to the maximum
I transferred to EU, where I live, a month ago or so. I nearly cried when I could play everything well again. Do a favour to yourself and transfer to your closest DC.
I have cleared up to e10s on high ping. Please do not play monk. I play tank and healer classes just fine, but you need to have extra compensation in terms of timing and safety
Well, you cannot play mch effectively from level 50 and brd from about 60
it's far more important to play where my friends are than a little ping problem to me lol
I just need to organise a world change to another EU I suppose where I can read the NN.
I have no FF friends so 😭😔🥳
or just learn German :D jk. Tbh you can effectively live on another server, if you don't mind having to hop back for retainers, and don't mind not having FC buffs.
I'm hoping data centre visit is well made, then I can just exist on JP for any difficult content and hang out with my friends otherwise
But I am also low level and don’t have those fancy jobs or even know what weave is.
180ms is still playable due to this games server tick rate.
cross data center pf? no thanks
Is it technically playable? Sure. Is it worth playing? Not really.
I can't double weave without significant clipping from around 170 ms
I speak Spanish so I’m not completely ignorant but yeah, it’s my language issue, and my Germany worldmates seem to have a whale of a time
Oh thanks!!
the possibility of not being able to double weave being reason the game is not worth playing is quite a stretch
lol, my best case scenario is 150ms
I play on NA from EU and can't double weave worth shit
Really depends, I do it just fine on jp
I have learned a lot in a week. GCD, OGCD, animation lock, ping. I’m v 21st century.
I remember this run where I was MT'ing memoria miseria with 250ms ping... still cleared with no wipes
your reflexes become attuned to ping
you'll have to get used to playing pingless
that's my fear if data centre visit is good xd
"hey.. that would've worked with bad ping.."
Double weaving isn't necessarily a skill you need but being able to adjust your rotation to single weaves only sucks a tad more
LOL Using NordVPN (my sister fell for youtube ads) improved my ping from 180 to 150
any good drk damage build? i tend to spend stats on crits or is there any good prior stats to go dmg ?
wonder if surfshark to a US node would help
@calm sky SkS to breakpoint > crit > dh > det
Any good VPN's you'd recommend? I would like to improve further
SkS stands for?
On my first reading this all makes sense based on the spells I have now except the very last example. I have swift cast but don’t think to use it because it seems like it onky saves a tiny amount of time. But I guess it’s there for a reason.
ah
!faq vpn
Having trouble with ping? Try out a VPN (Virtual Private Network). These services help stabilize connection and lower your ping.
Mudfish (Cheap and versatile, make sure to enable fast connect! Try '!Mudfish' For a guide on using): https://mudfish.net/
WTFast (Expensive, but usually reliable.): https://www.wtfast.com/
Pingzapper (Middle ground): https://pingzapper.com/
NoPing (Another middle ground): https://www.nptunnel.com
thanks! i work my way around it
i use mudfish because cheap, my friends use exitlag.
i can vouch for mudfish
used to play it for Lost Ark RU
and ffxiv is not a data hungry game so the prepaid system of mudfish is really worth it lol
this is gold
thank you !
What's a ballpark for data usage? Updates aside
I have nordvpn. For um other country tv. But I don’t get how they can speed up my internet. I live in an actually medium sized UK city centre and can only get adsl 36mbps-ish. I had 200+ in London. So like I assume my ping is not gonna be great because of that. But how does a vpn make my crap internet faster than what the wires are?
@calm sky I'd go with 2.4 or faster for blood weapon since it's super uncomfortable and not lenient in buff duration to fit 5 gcds unlike delirium
@winged fossil basically, the idea is that with better routing you can improve your ping, but not really thoroughput
I’m an older millennial so existed before the internet and therefore please excuse me sounding so stupid.
it's about number of connections. your ISP might have a backbone that takes many steps to get somewhere, but the VPN may not
Tldr they don't make your internet faster per say but the nodes they use to connect you somewhere and the route is changed to be shorter/smoother
games require fairly negligible overall bandwidth, but are very ping dependent
Ohhhhh. Ok. So the wires are still the wires but the zooming round after the wires may be more efficient with a vpn than my isp
Think taking the train down to the city core. Instead of being forced to make 174724 transfers between lines you can take a train directly from your house to your destination @winged fossil
nordVPN isn't a gaming vpn, so it's possible it wouldn't improve things at all -- the gaming vpns attempt to create streamlined routing
look 🙌🏼 at 🙌🏼 me 🙌🏼learning🙌🏼the🙌🏼internet 🚀
NA servers are located in los angeles?
California @shut panther
California somewhere. Now that’s a thing I know.
Sacramento is what I've heard
any samurai main that can help me with gear related questions for E9-12S please?
I cannot find Morgayne in Ishgard. Trying to do Inscrutable Taste, as a LV 74 GSM. I'm caught up on MSQ
What am I doing wrong? Where do I start this quest?
!faq balance go there
Foundation
X: 10.1 Y: 10.4?
There's no one there.
in ARR, what's the poetic farm dungeon?
hmm, I really don't know what to say then
as in the fastest way to just repeat a dungeon for tomes
All arr dungeons give the same amount of tomes
I would think.. syrcus?
So pick whatever
they don't
You're not the only one apparently.... I can't get an answer anywhere...
syrcus gives 100+, probably takes no longer than any of the 4 mans
and queues are probably fast right now because people are grinding it for the relic
I'll go ahead and unlock that then
that aside, doing MSQ queue each day would also be quick poetics
assuming it gives poetics at 50, which I think it does?
See, there are servers and realms right (or whatever exactly they are called) if I am in Chaos server and in Cerberus realm, what things can I do and what things I cant do with other realms?
Data centers
Chaos is the data center so you can visit/interact with any servers in that data center
@leaden ginkgo you can use the world visit system at any aetheryte to travel to other servers within your data centre (chaos)
and all duty queues pull from every server on your data centre
the only things you can't do on other servers in your data centre are access retainers, firmament and timed gathering nodes, afaik
oh, and FC stuff.
You also lose fc buffs while travelling
Does anyone else have any idea why I can't start Inscrutable Tastes? Like I said, I'm level 74 goldsmith, i'm caught up on msq, I went straight to x10.1y10.4 in Foundation, and there is nobody there. I've been at this for half an hour trying to start this quest
I see, thanks for the information ^_^
@hidden agate can you take a screenshot?
Have you done it before or something
sorry @leaden ginkgo I meant any main city aetheryte, not any aetheryte
screenshot of what?
the location in foundation
Hi guys, just sub the game for 90 days using credit card then I unregistered the payment method since I don’t want to auto renew it, but why I couldn’t see the days I have left to play and I only got charged 1 dollar ?
I'm curious if they might've moved the npc to firmament, honestly
also yeah, search your completed quests for it, just in case.
I am an idiot... I was looking in the wrong area...
Did you wait for the charge to be processed?
Yah I hit all the buttons when I finish typing the card infor the click next, it saids its completed register
The one dollar thing is usually a test on newly registered cards to test if its real
It should get refunded and the proper payment taken at some point
Anyone know how to get Omega Gambison of fending?
I heard that with the new patch you can play on other data centers. is that correct or was I fed fake news?

Okey I see @faint flare should I registered my credit card Infor again since I unregistered for auto renew ?
Uhhh i would wait abit then see

Fall this year yes
awesome
Is it hard? I really want that chest piece
end of autumn is like December?
Unsynced o12s isn't too hard
you want dyeable then it must be done in Savage. If non-dye, than normal is fine
You need to do up to Fundemental syngery for M/F, and just before Patch 2 in Final omega, aka having to.do Hello, World
Hey guys im in need of help with this game on ps4. I played xiv years ago but deleted my se account connected to my psn. Now I wanted to play it again but it still shows my old se username and I can't change it. Trying to log in on the se website says that my account is deactivated (not deleted even though I deleted it) and I should contact support which I did but no response.
Is there any known way to somehow start and relink my psn to xiv? Thanks in advance (pls tag me if you respond, I rarely check discord rn)
What’s the normal colour of it?
Why sometimes the music of an aera does not sound? For example in Thanalan when you are out of an outpost, sometimes it sounds, sometimes not
So, should I bother with Crafting, outside of the fact I can make gils with it?
Only if you want to
I see, welp I think I'll just do my DoL
Seems to be some weird thing with how the music loops in ARR areas. In the expansions it loops consistently with no issues
how many tick that MCN's flamethrower does?
is it for AoE rotation?
Yes

alright i caved and got shadowbringers and a sub i haven't played since 2017 i think i'm somewhere in the middle of heavensward questline. are there any up to date resources for returning players? i was playing scholar but i think i want to swap to summoner since they share levels (no idea what to do about gear though i really don't remember much of the game)
even if i already got some gear from the story? if i remember correctly i have already gotten some quest gear is this a one time thing or do they keep giving as i progress?
Where can I disable voyage cutscenes?
Multiple different quests in the story give you gear
@gritty trail what level is your sch/smn
@gritty oracle character config > cutscene skipping prob
is it included in housing cutscene skips?
no idea
i don't remember i am currently downloading the game
i guess i should get back here once i'm actually ingame
if youre lvl 55 or below you can go to mor dhona and buy ironworks gear using poetics
aha
thanks
i'll check once i'm finished downloading
is the client download speed capped for some reason at 3mb/s? everywhere else i have a dl speed of at least 5mb/s

Resistance Weapon
can someone explain duty finder to me please? so on the rouletter page it has 'levelling' and 'guildhests'. levelling picks a random thing, and gives you a reward only once? can i do duty finder on all my classes (eg just did random levelling dungeon with thm, can i go and do it again as cnj?)
Roulettes can be done once a day
and then the next tab is the dungeons. and that's just basically regular party finder, and whatever class you are at time of registering is what you go in as. but they're standard and you'll get the exp but as normal from them.
You'll get all the extra rewards on whatever class you pick once a day, after that roulettes give no extra bonus and just act as a "queue for a Random Instance"
Between lv30 and lv45, standard mnk aoe rotation is Destroyer -> Twin Snakes -> Rockbreaker, right?
so i've done the 'levelling' now (it was deep water mine or whatever) as a thm, so if switch to cnj, it'll just register in a random queue no bonuses (it says you've already rewarded received reward today'
Yes exactly that
rewards are character-based
ok gotcha thanks.
generally if you are doing dungeons for exp you do leveling roulette once and then select the highest-level dungeon you have access to
now adventurer-in-need bonuses can be earned multiple times per day as long as you have the right role when you enter the queue
But generally speaking, the AiN bonus isn't really worth it unless you're looking for like, bonus GC seals.
Or if you're level 80, it will give you the stellaclusters you need to buy rank 8 materias.
i'm trying to be efficient but it's kinda annoying tht you can't do your job quests while in duty queue.
Can I make it from being told about Iceheart to the start of Heavensward before maintenance starts?
