What's a good way of making gil without a crafter/gatherer
Whack, thank you
Find a material that drops off an easily killable mob that's selling for high and often on the MB
And go get killing
use your retainers if that’s the way though
actually killing mobs to farm idt is a thing in this game
I believe this is subjective, but would like to get some input on how fast it is to level an alt to Level 50? Debating to create an alt now just so I could purchase another apartment in another city. Thank you!
if you skipped all cutscenes maybe like 10-15 hours
Please, someone, explain to me, how is it possible people from other servers can plainly and easily text me from anywhere without issues but when I try to instantly reply to them they do not exist?
could have gone offline, into an instance
Does Heavens' Ward Helm Fragment dissapear after u get round lanner
I got round lanner and it's not in my inventory
no
how do most people play the game? standalone launcher, steam or some other way?

i mean you can only use the windows launcher if you bought it on windows
and you can only use the steam launcher if you bought it on steam
i thought you could link to steam
cuz steam launcher still launched the game launcher
theyre different licenses
yea
Fates are still the best way to get memories even at Haunting/vexatious right?
steam has less frequent sales than the SE store
but it also lets you use steam wallet
all platforms use mog station
so you still need a mogstation account to play ffxiv on steam?
yes
hmm
o i heard servers are cross platform now within the 3 data centers, back wen i played everyone could have the same name across different servers in the same data center
how does that work now then its cross server
did a ton of people lose their names or something?
no
names are still per server
duty finder was always cross server to begin with, within the datacenter. All it does it add your server behind the name
so like Jane Doe-Siren, etc
i heard you can just change servers at any time from a town now though
Does no one do A9S anymore
I can't even find a group on reddit
not really
soloing lv50 dungeons
most people are either going to find groups for a9s or solo 50 dungeons
How to find a group
open a PF
I did
it'll take longer sitting in pf and getting no one and getting absolutely no light
No one joins
soloing 50 dungeons isn't going to take that much longer to get your light done
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I did a bunch of lv 50 dungeons it's not going so fast
isnt it like 3pm in jp
not peak hours
well yeah but its like monday
unsync spam Brayflox hard, should take like sub 5 minutes if you're on an 80
When's peak hour
evening
when people who work regular jobs come home
recruitment channel
What's the fastest crystal tower alliance raid to complete
syrcus tower
For the Stormblood Memory quest for resistance weapons is it faster to do the two sets of alliance raids or fate farm?
personally would just queue for the raids while farming fates
can you hide your own HP bar in the party list?
/doze with a third party tool that makes the game think you're on an inn bed

Does anyone use fflogs? just wondering what melee/NPC/Pets button do under "casts"
What is a decent fishing macro?
Why would you need a macro for fishing?
I am impatient
every fish in each hole has a different "hook timing" or whatever, like in one hole the same fish will appear for every tug you get at 7s, and a different one if you get a tug at 9s etc, but it's random which fish you'll get in 90% cases, so a macro to hook at the same time every time will either hook too early, too late, or get you one specific fish
when does dead man's relic reset?
When can we preorder the new xpac ?
whenever SE says so
Doing the Zodiac light quest right now. What would be the best method of getting light? 250 Ifrit normals or multiple Tam-Tara Deepcrofts?
What’s the maximum favor destination I can register now? I saw four now, and google told me only three
Preorder will not be available until they talked about physical release
I recently did with tam tara deepcrofts, ifrit ks relax and watch netflix at the same time
oh so a mix of the two?
Tam tara by right is faster in long run, ifrit, if you have good ssd
okay. I'll try Ifrit for a bit and see how that goes
And then maybe switch to Tam tara
Thank you!
Can the beastman currency purchasable on the MB be exchanged for usable beastman currency?
i dont think there is beast tribe currency you can put up on MB so whatever you're looking at, probably no
open your currency menu (ctrl+c by default) and the tokens for tribes you have unlocked are in the tribal tab or something like that
which also since they're only in that menu, they're not really items you can trade or sell
There's bronze, iron, and darksteel amalj'ok for example under miscellaneous
I assume it used to be a part of an older beastman currency system that got removed
according to gamerescape it was used in the 1.0 relic quest, so its probably 1.0 leftovers they didn't want to delete from peoples inventories
Ah, I see
or something 
I was wondering bc these ARR BTs take forever to rank up
yes they take significantly longer than the other expansions sadly
As a whole anyway
mainly because they start from 1
Luckily I'm only doing them to collect orchestrions so I can skip ixal
and i think the later expansions start from like 3 or 4 or 5
But then you miss the edgy catboi
For the expacs the only BT orchestions I'm missing are pixie, qitari and dwarf
Those take a loooong time though
can you increase the yield of voidrake from garden patch?
yes, with thanalan soil
great. thanks 🙂
hey guys. I just got my gatherers to 80 and would like to get the white scrips gear. any good way to farm white scrips?
does lv60 craft with lv80 crafter still give sky script in firmament?
i got gifted Shadowbringers how do i activate it?
log in your account on square-enix
on mogstation
do your weekly custom deliveries then spam collectables
Should've i got a code?

During transferring between servers I should put all my objects to sell back to inventory right? Or I will loose them if I keep selling them on market?
you have to take down any items you're currently selling before you'll be allowed to transfer
Ah it works this way! Thanks!
hey i had an account made during release of ff, i am wondering if the character automatically has the back tattoo? or did i need to complete a quest?
strength applies to machinist as well?
Any character that was there during 1.0 will automatically have the tattoo
you'll also have the ability to freely change their appearance one time the first time you log in on them
should I use cannon for shard/crystal/cluster or materials in Diadem? Don't particularly need any
MCH doesn't benefit at all from STR. DEX is the stat that determines their damage
@proud willow okay thank you <3
go ahead and use the Diadem cannon for whatever you need the most
does fantasia also allow you to change your name or just appearance
just appearance
name change is a separate purchase, under "additional services" on the mogstation
hey does the support team allow you to transfer a character from one service account to another?
so for my first job I guess, I should ignore everything and only do job and main quests?
pretty much
blue quests are encouraged too
as they can unlock stuff like the challenge log or additional dungeons
Anyone know of a resource where i can check gear levels? I have JUST started HW and have average gear level of 165 but no idea if thats about right for where I am in the story?
check the last expansion poetics ilvl, and that's the ilvl expected at the start of the next expansion
so 130 for HW
Oh, better than I thought! Thanks
just going to say that you're not expect to be 130 for hw
around 110 is what you're expected to be around
oh it is blue

the level cap without shadowbringers is 60 right
correct
with just Starter Edition (ARR + HW) it is 60
if you had only Stormblood for some reason, it would be 70. With Shadowbringers, it's 80
so like i bought the game from steam but the code steam gave me is invalid is there a fix for this or did steam just take my 10 euros
what's the error message?
invalid code
firstly, are you upgrading from trial to full game or do you already own the base game and simply applying shadowbringers to your account
i bought the game new
are you using the correct code first
yes
cos you get 2 codes, one for starter edition and one for shadowbringers
i got one code
can you screenshot your mogstation please
you mean from the final fantasy 14 launcher
oh so you're doing it thru the launcher, and not mogstation?
yes i think
if you're doing it thru the launcher and its giving you invalid code, then i would probably contact support. Could also first try applying the codes on mogstation
may just be the launcher being finicky
Does gear ilevel matter in low level dungeons like Stone Vigil? i dont see any minimum required item level but just class level
not too much, so long as your weapon is close ish to your level you should be alright for most of the ARR leveling dungeons
ilvl is naturally going to be a bit lowish because you don't get a lot of accessory upgrades in ARR, and those bring down ilvl (they also don't really make or break much, so having meh accessories for 1-49 is ok)
If I buy newest expansion does it give you the ones prior I have the first expansion already ?
okay so like i put in the code through the mogstation but now i am clueless about where i can download the game
really annoyed that I still can't figure out how to get my piano to play through bard performances properly. It's set up and recognises the notes all in the right order it just refuses to take more than one note request every few seconds, I think the release command in the translator is stuck but there's already a thing that's supposed to fix that
steam should have a download for you
What title do u get after getting a lux weapon
anima doesn't have a title associated with it
oh well, fair but that's not tied to lux
that's for getting the first stage complete
Is that the only anima title
fairly certain, it is. there's no title for getting a lux
are there hidden gimmicks to rdm revive ? pretty sure i saw a rdm reviving 2 people in a row without casting inbetween
no, they were just making use of dualcast
huh ?
!trait Dualcast
Grants the effect of Dualcast upon casting any spell with a cast time. While under the effect of Dualcast, your next spell will require no time to cast. Effect is canceled upon execution of any action other than an ability. Auto-attacks do not cancel effect.
yeah but how can he use dualcast twice in a row without casting
o wait , he used dualcast then swiftcast ?
most likely yes
Can I sell items in a different data center
you can physically trade items with other players while world visiting, but using your retainer to sell items on other worlds is not possible
Oh :/
hi!, is there a beginners guide to the Gold Saucer and its games?
not really, most of them should be pretty self explanatory
mini cactpot is avaialble once a day, jumbo cactpot and fashion report once a week, gates spawn every 15 minutes, and then mahjong, triple triad, chocobo racing are their own separate rabbit holes you can research more in depth if you wanna spend more time on them than an average player
thanks a lot man!!
For mini cactpot there is a solver for it you can google. You're not guaranteed the highest reward ever but it helps you out in figuring out the best lines and rows to pick.
it's basically uncovering a Y shape and/or looking into lines that have 1 2 or 3
y-shape, pick lines that could have 1 2 3 or if that's not possible 7 8 9
why was 6 afraid of 7
because 7 was a freestyle sam
I just unlocked it! Will give it a try
is there a reason i only see tank achievements for doing a number of instances?
can't see for other classes except blue
cause there aren't any for other classes
Do we get the same amount of xp from trust dungeons that we do from regular dungeons?
wait why is it only tanks wtf?
yes, but they take longer than an usual duty finder run since the trusts mostly use single target skills
cause tanks need an extra incentive as the least played role
or something
Because it's a tankless job /shot
Seriously talking, tanking used to be much tougher before Shadowbringers due to how the old enimity management system. Probably threw in the achievements to incentive people to play tanks, and just never changed it after Shadowbringers
Because mounts are srs bidness
oh lol
Those mounts are okay
i mean ig decent for old time
You have lion, bear, black panther, and Saber tooth tiger
They are very rustic, not very glowy and flashy
hello, can someone tell me whats up with dragoon tethering ranged dps before melees? idk how to play drg but by instict i'd say dragoons need to tether with someone close to them? or am i missing something
That's basically it, IR. They were put in to encourage tanks to do "High end" content like extreme trials because if you don't immediately know the positioning, you get shit all over.
either a: you're higher up on their party list or b: you're standing closer and doing more damage than melee DPS which can happen decently often
well, i was second aggro after tank, and the dragoons so far have tethered with rangeds, idk
Aggro isn't a good metric
i also use act, just curious about dragoons tho, maybe i need to learn it
It should basically be the highest DPS who'll have the highest uptime, AKA they'll be nearest. So generally if the ranged are standing WAY away and they're losing tether, that is a bad thing. But if you've got a good Ranged Deeps who's smart enough to stand near the Dragoon, it works. As a MCH for example my DPS is 100% the same if I'm at max distance or halfway up the mobs cloaca.
gotcha thank you, thought i did something wrong
It also could be they're lazy and just macro it to whomever is slot 6, for example, in an 8 man (since party list by default should be DRG Player/Tank/Tank/Heal/Heal/DPS/DPS/DPS).
As a tank my TBN/Nascent, etc buffs I throw on OT's are macro's to slot 2, so if the sorting gets messed up and I don't resort, I could wind up throwing TBN on a healer.
As an example
thing is, when i play blm dragoons tend to tether to me even when im not dps better than melees, its so weird to me
Ahhh, BLM's have one advantage to tether as a ranged. They know you're going to stand the hell still since you're basically a turret.
"Yeah, they're ranged, but the melee are bouncing around like they've been fed a steady diet of sugar and PCP. THEY won't leave their ley lines."
ah i see, thank you! :)
Blm in general are seen as a high dps job
So people without act just tether them as a go to
but in the last case, the drg did tether to a mch, which (not to brag at all) wasnt doing as good as me (melee), maybe they're still learning the class or maybe something, thanks again o/
I had a worse dancer earlier he was like a coke fiend
Kept breaking glass in the twinning too

Mch isn't a bad option for tether, due to reassemble and Hypercharge
But yeah, seems like most drgs use a macro
I feel the dropped gcd every time I use the eye
Not everyone uses act to know how well others are doing and just have a mental tier list of who to tether
Or they check gear to see who's more geared
Or macro as others said to tether a specific dps slot
hey , idk if theres a bug, but currently i cant do daily challenge frontline on free trial? been doing that since my last 3 classes after lv30.
Heh, In fairness Kat, after playing tanks (Which have to keep still other than dodging to avoid causing issues for positionals) and a BLM, my first other class I leveled was Machinist. I was SO HAPPY to be free to move around I used to NEVER sit still just because I was so happy to move freely. Then I started leveling healers and after a few fights where healing the ranged who weren't near the group I was like "... OHHHHHHH, yeah, maybe I should sit my ass still.."
They disabled PvP for free trial
Temporarily
Due to rampart hackers
It was the latest hotfix
i see. thanks for the heads up.
I use a macro as DRG to target player 6, which in my setup will default to the other melee dps if there is one
Quick question as I'm currently a lvl 40 white mage. Usually in other MMOs, I don't force new friendships as they just happen while sharing a quest, event or dungeon... but so far in FFXIV, I feel it's hard to make any strong connection while leveling up as you don't really need help for anything except dungeons. Does the social life in game gets better at higher levels?
I've heard many videos saying that you should lvl up as if you were playing a solo game, but don't mention too much higher levels
Is Pugilist a good DPS for me to be learning when starting out?
why would you hack in ffxiv pvp?
Same reason you would hack any pvp thing, to win
u aint winning much
Speed hacks
Immunity
You can actually
There's been a ping exploit
Thats been rising
A note about pugilist/monk is that a lot of their main gcd attacks require positionals to maximize damage
Which tricks the game to thinking you have really low ping regardless
FFXIV isn't going to go out of its way to force social interaction beyond mandatory dungeon/trial groups. I would advise finding a Free Company if you feel like you're missing out on that aspect.
IE, using Bootshine on an enemy's rear
I guess that raises the skill cap a lot
Ok thanks for the answer! I was curious because after few hours in apart from some chat during dungeons, I haven't exchange with no one during the leveling/questing phase. Yes I started looking for one. I use to be on Shiva (Light) but it was mainly a German community and almost all announcements were in German, so i migrated this morning to a "french" server
You do leave quite a bit of damage on the floor if you don't do them though
In reality there's only like 6 moves for monk that require positionals
But it's your main 6 single target damage buttons
Ok Freecompanies and Linkshells, noted thanks! That will be pretty helpful! 🙂
someone please help me ;__; i just bought the complete edition and got the code for it but im not sure where to use it
!faq mogstation
um whats this? sorry i only started playing like 4 days ago im so confused
gives you some goodies like an xp boosting hat for low levels and free teleport tickets
He gets a kickback as well
your FFXIV account management website
you should've made a Mogstation account when you started playing
yes im currently on it now where do i go to use the code
the big "transfer to full game" button near the top
Where do I redeem code
I can't find the redeem recruitment code option on my account
Only enter item code
you can't redeem a recruit code once your first subscrption payment has gone though
I c

Out of curiosity what move do you guys spam with blue mage? I usually do sharpened knife but maybe there is something better
Isn't blaze a knockback?
Deals ice damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Contrary to expectation, the Blaze attack employed by Alte Roite manifests a swirling storm of ice. Some dismiss the spell's name as an odd jest made by the author of the novel in which the winged serpent was first referenced, while others claim the freezing lesions it causes resemble terrible burns.
Alte Roite / Deltascape V1.0
Type: Magic
Aspect: Ice
Rank: 2
I might be thinking of a different move
are leveling dungeon queues always this long
as a DPS? yes
well i didnt think it would force me to do dungeons for story quests
is there an indicator showing you did the positionals correctly ?
In the base game there's a dungeon basically every four levels or so
Other than your damage numbers being greater than if you weren't doing positionals, not really
you'll see your damage be a crit if you land it
just wanted to make sure, I have a lvl 80 mnk and i thought maybe i may have missed something
wouldve expected it
generally though you should keep the GCD rolling over holding to land a positional
if you're particularly good you could just stand inside the boss
yea basically 45 seconds of no positonals lmaooo
How many DoH do I need to cover all the weapon crafting. BSM, CRP, and ALC?
i mean, ideally you should do all of them
A lot of crafting recipes require other items made by other crafters
I'm doing mount farming runs every week with the FC, I wanted to make some money to level the others with making old raid glam weapons
we're doing birds so I have 2 zurvan carapace already
Zurvan weapons specifically were only added in the last couple patches
is tanking easier/more casual compared to wow
If I don't pot, should I carry HQ X-ethers into savage? I'm not thinking about BiS yet and my piety seems a little low.
can't see why not
just turn tank stance on and AoE until everything dies yes
you don't have to work particularly hard to keep aggro. at higher levels you have to identify damage spikes and use defensive cooldowns appropriately
sounds good so I guess my next job will be a tank cuz i dont wanna start over now
you can just start now and catch up to your msq level if dps queues are annoying you that much
particularly if you have the brand-new-ring
brand new ring?
from the Hall of the novice
I dont have it I dont think
if you go there (it's just outside of Aleport) or talk to any of the Smith NPCs with the sprout icon you can take some lessons that will teach you the basics of playing MMORPGs
finish all the lessons associated with a particular role (tank, healer or dps) and you'll ge a ring that gives you a 30% exp bonus to all classes at level 30 and below
the dps queues dont really bother me but I am interested in tanking cuz I like it except in wow
well remember that you can start a new class from level 1 at any time 🙂
@devout lichen the main "challenge" of tanking in 14 is getting defensives up in time for tank busters, and burning all your CD's on giant dungeon pulls
aggro is an absolute non-issue
and you don't need to know fricken M+ pull strategies and paths 😛
yeah eventually you'll be expected to pull at least two trash packs at once, pop CDs and aoe them down
the first dungeon I did dude just ran through half the dungeon
well the mobs in the first dungeon don't hit particularly hard
what would you do if i was in your room raight noaw ;)?
so even with only cure 1 it's not hard to heal through multiple mobs
how would I even catch up to the same level
since I think that dungeon is like level 18 or something
Can a macro place/delete waymarks?
your class hunting log, class quests, fates
If you're too low level for the next MSQ quest, there's your class quests at 5, 10, 15, etc. If those are caught up, you have hunting logs (under logs menu)
and once you have the first dungeon (which is at 16) you can also run the highest lvl dungeon available to you
and roulettes once a day are great exp once you have some unlocked
dont I need to be 16 to run the dungeon
yeah, before that it's class quests and hunting logs
how long would it take
side quests too but they don't have great exp
1-16 would maybe be a few hours?
without msq
yeah, fewer if you actively hunt down FATEs
1-16 in less that 1 hour, if u party with other player and do fates
oh yeah fates at that level are easy
There are 2 zones in thanalan next to each other that spawm fates lvl 10-15 IIRC
think I will leave getting a tank until I'm 60 or higher
What are the chances
That there will be another event, in March?
As in, right now we have Valentione and Little Ladies, we will get another by the end of March?
Little Ladies Day is usually the March event. Next one will likely be Hatchingtide in April.

@devout lichen If you like Gunbreaker, those start at 60
dark knight starts at 30, but you unlock it at 50
yeah gunbreaker is really the only one im interested in
do I have to do all 2.1-2.5 to get to dark knight in hw?
Just have to get to ishgard
Yes, you have to do MSQ to get to Ishgard
I will be buying shadowbringers when I get to 60 anyway, I just hope to reach 60 within 25 more days
if youre only levelling one class, youll get 60 almost before you finish arr msq with all of the boosts and everything
yeah MSQ over-levels you between expansions, since you get 4-5 patches of story that was origianlly done at level cap
what is the AOE version of jolt
Impact is Scatter at lower levels
How often do they do large scale events like.. ones that give you more than a hat
Example— the collabs
I started playing on the last day of the last collab 😭
these smaller scale events have been more or less a result of COVID, I think
also since they're ramping up development on the new expansion
it's unfortunate but not much you can do about it
and plus, past event items are.... reasonably cheap
3-4 dollars and item which isn't too bad, most of the time
what was the last collab?
the Nier one, technically
Lol I love the Nier stuffz
if you mean the last time limited one, it's the Dragon Quest collab
what seasonal item was from the Nier collab?
Wasn't the FFXV more recent than the Dragon Quest one?
no, Dragon Quest had a rerun
NieR isn't a seasonal collab.
In that case wouldn't the Yokai Watch have been more recent?
NieR content is permanent
oh true
Yokai was little more recent than DQ
sorry I've just lost track whoops
did you guys grind the yokai stuff?
Yeah, it's hard to keep track with all the events rerunning.
Both were kinda rehashes though
i found the yokai aesthetic to be very un-FFXIV
that's the point yes
Is bozja just one instance per data center?
No
Hey I've just finnished Realm Reborn and I've don a ton of lvl 50 quests, does anyone know how many do I have to do before I can go to Ishgard?
80
There are 80 quests between 2.1 and the end of 2.55.
Plus all of the
content unlock quests if you want to do those.
Are you guys joking?
No, that's seriously how many there are.
what was the name of the last quest you did?
Oh god, then I have a long night ahead of me
MelodyZ said he did a huge bunch of level 50 quests already
so maybe he is already in the middle of the post-ARR content
I'm doing First Blood atm
Thank god
yea you are about midway
You have 35 more quests after that one.
I was about to ask if there is a list
yes but it's spoilery
Thank you guys
i dont recommend looking at it
Can u sell any mogstation mount/minion on mb
No
Rip
Mogstation items are not resellable.
u can't sell any mogstation stuff on
MB
Big rip
1 more question can I ask for help with duty on this dc?
yes
Ez gil ig
But it's good that it isn't allowed
You can ask, but it's not guaranteed that people will be able to help you since this discord server has members spanning literally every server and datacenter in the game.
So we're not all on the same datacenter as you.
well if you really want gil, you could spend money on a level skip, which gives you a platinum bar that u CAN actually sell for 20k
What is it?
20k Ain’t nothin
it's seomthing
Mogstation items are non-resellable precisely to prevent people from earning gil off of them.
20 won't even get me good armor :/
Specifically to keep bots from reselling them for gil which would then be used for RMT
good armor only costs tomestones and msq patience
Good armor doesn't cost gil, yeah.
U can get 510 items via poetics?
I don't have any duty now I was just curious
crypturlker tomestones
You can get 540 items for tomestones, not poetics.
I started getting different tomestones after reaching lv80
Yeah, those are for endgame gear.
Just like poetics are used at lower levels.
yea dont waste money buying level 80 gear off MB, the tomestone stuff is better, much better
Once the next expansion comes out, those tomestones will be retired, and the level 80 gear will be available for poetics.
in fact, you really only need gil to buy glamour
Ohh
u dont need gil for armor/gear at all
3.4 mil for small
keep in mind that you also need to complete the Crystal Tower quests if you haven't already
Wait what
Small houses are about 3M
Just 3?!
For the plot
And medium?
10 mil
12M? I think?
Fuck
getting the gil is the easy part
Howww
of buying a house
Just do content.
I have like 20M just from doing roulettes and weekly challenges and not spending on anything except teleports.
stop buying armor off the marketboard
Especially for doh
there are far more interested homeowners than homes for sale
Where do I buy doh/dol gear
u will accumulate gil in no time
Lv 60-80
idyllshire
Without gil
DoH/DoL gear you get off the MB or make yourself.
scrip gear
Ohh
Or scrips, yeah
is bought from vendors in idyllshire
Crystal Tower?
you dont spend yellow/white scrips on anima gear iirc
24-man raid series for ARR @sour beacon
24 man? Ah god
I use scripts to buy blue scripts to exchange for crystal sands
Those 12 custom deliveries
I hate dol deliveries
When itemlevel syncs (be due to character level cap or directly because ilevel sync), how the sync applies to the materia stats?
they are brainless
the CT raids take 15 minutes to complete
because everyone just wants to get through them asap
think of them as mini-praetorium
Yes but 24 people is a LOT
well there are 48 and 72 man raids in this game
Wow
you get split up into groups of 8 for half of them
yes apparetnly the WoL isn't one person, but an army
that outnumbers all other forces in eorzea
don't be intimidated by 24-man raids, particularly the Crystal Tower ones
they are designed to be cleared by randomly-matched groups
quick question if i buy the complete edition for 35 pounds, after one month would it cost another 35?
so say i had shadowbringers and all the other expansions, i could just pay 14 pounds for an extea 90 days?
Wait why are they saying Gosetsu's a roegadyn ? He's just a very big hyur, right ?
Yes. Once you own the game, you only have to pay the sub price for 1/3/6 months at a time (depending on your choice). The game itself is a one-time purchase.
ok thanks :)) oh and do i pay on mogstation or on square enix (where i got thegame)
Although you do have to purchase subsequent expansions (such as the upcoming Endwalker expansion) separately.
Yes, you pay on Mogstation.
ok thank you very much
Nah he's a roe
Specifically "far eastern roe"
So not Hellsguard or Sea Wolf
if you go by that logic, all roes just look like big humans
are y'all here to argue or ask questions
if I start a free trial on a ps4, will that psn id be permanently attached to that SE account?
Yes
Good to know

is there any preference for zones while farming the haunting memories?
For the fashion challenge if there is only a shirt on body slot and dye in head slot does that mean wear the shirt and nothing else and dye any hat with the dye specified?
For 80 points
all slots must be filled with something
yes
Except belt and offhand. Those don't matter.
Kk in summary put shirt on and dye the hat and everything else can stay as watever i already had in slot
Yes
Lovely thnx
how large would be the stormblood + shadowbringers download size, I read somewhere that shadowbringers alone was about 8gb
About 14 GB
Sorry for asking again, but I've done about 10 fates in the lochs and havn't gotten a single one. I know that the droprates are low for fates but this looks like I'm in the wrong place 😅
It's completely RNG. And yes, people have said the drop is still pretty low in their experience.
I farmed the other 18 memories from othard relatively fast, but these gyr abania memories are like a total 180
Rng is rng
void ark takes about 15 minutes per run and is definitely the more efficient way to farm those memories
If you want semblance of consistency do the mhach alliance raids
And farm the fates while in queue
yeah that's what I did
I've been farming void ark for one type and azim steppe for the others
My internet is going to shit rn
And got the ones from fates way faster because while void ark is pretty fast the queue time some times gets to 10-15min
But my issue is not really that's it taking too long, it's just that I find it strange that I havn't gotten a single one from the gyr abania fates
also make sure you aren't queuing for void ark as a tank
This would fall under #rants more than a question tbh
Its not really something we have control over that we can fix
Well it originally was a question
The lochs are fine
You choose it because it syncs you to the upper bound ilvl for the expac which is 70
Means you ilvl is on the upper bound as well
Can choose fringes if you're feeling superstitious
i just downloaded the trial version so i can cuome back after 30 days with the return campaign
I chose the lochs because it's in my level range for my samurai, not 70 yet with him
Getting to 70 would be better though because some fates do a lot of damage to me
That won't work with an account where you've already had a sub in the past.
what do u mean? my sub ran out on 25 feb
you would have to make a new account to play the trial
ah no
You cannot play on the Trial if you've already had a sub, even if your sub lapsed.
i didnt mean that
i mean this: my account which sub expired on 25 feb, with the return campaign i can play 4 days on 25 march (30 days inactivity), but I downloaded the trial client so I dont have to download everything again when I come back
The trial version of the game and the callback campaign are not compatible.
You wouldn't be able to download the game on a free trial launcher if you have a standard account
you would still have to download the dlc
i just make new acc thenb....
still better than downloading whole game
In which case the callback campaign wouldn't apply to you.
They're mutually exclusive.
Do you have to clear castrum to start the firsr part of the relic quest? It's been so long I do not remember. Also, do you have to clear castrum to earn coins and the gear vendor.
no
how so
and yes
The callback campaign ONLY applies to the paid version of the game. The trial is not the same as the paid version.
if i log in into a trial client with a lv80 acc the client will automatically update to real client no? ive done this many times
No
You still have to redownload the whole game depending on how many expacs are on your account
nah, it will
The trial version simply won't let you launch the game.
You need to clear both castrum and delubrum once you're finished with the ilvl500 weapon
Trial launcher: only for trial accounts
Normal launcher: for those who have owned standard edition or higher
There's a reason why there's two launchers
nah im sure of it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
if u log into a trial client with normal acc the client will update automatically
You can be sure, and still be wrong.
i'll be waitung when it succeeds!
Question's been answered, so we can stop here.
It updates to standard client when you register a game license to your mogstation account
But either way you download everything
how long does it take for a available levequest to swap to another?
24 hours I believe
oh oof ok
They reset daily
I believe its 3 every 12 hours
as in 3 of them at once will switch?
Switch?
like swap for another
No its like 3 leves total for every 12 hours elapsed for all leves no matter the class
they're talking about the levequest cycles
what do you mean 3 every 12 hours so like they swap for another available every 4 or 3 available at a person swaps?
You gain 3 new leve allowances regardless of the vendor. Everyone has a different leve counter but you can't exceed 99
oh no this is the leves themselves
oh you mean when there are more than 3, when do they change/rotate
I would assume daily but I'm not sure

or if you complete one it'll be replaced with a random one from the available list
sometimes the same one, sometimes another
so like i'm doing the animus grind rn and at one NPC the leve i need isn't on them, when do they next change without me doing a leve?
Said i got armor of lost ant but not in inventory
without you doing a leve I would assume it's on the daily reset
ok thanks
This might seem pretty silly, but how do I unlock the latest rounds of Eden Savages? I have the first 8 but not the final 4. When I go to Ahm Araeng there isn't any for me to pick up from Lewrey either. Do I have to complete the other Eden Savages first?
You can skip the arr relic amd go straight to HW relic. Animus is ARR grind
doing it for WHM one, been also HW and SHB for PLD (though doesn't fit my glam lul)
After unlocking them by doing normal modes
i mean that was prob just about lux sucking in general
HW relics are far more tolerable than ARR relic
Right. whatever the HW one is called. lol
YES THEY ARE OMG
I want that
And theb you have to do the final four in order to unlock each EnS, right?
i'm on the clusters tier for HW
it's still a rough grind
why is the lux tier so fucking easy?
Maybe cuz they realized ARR grind sucks so badly
is there a way to see my message log? someone sent me a tell as i was logging out
and im trying to figure out who it was
Pretty sure it clears after you log out
fuck
what tier you on?
barely started. I only did the 6 crystals
also omg feels so good that the SHB grind can coincide with HW grind
I got the step after that on DRK
oh get ready lol
i wish stuff like the clusters repeatable quests were open earlier
like fml
Can someone help me figure out the last one I'm missing?
probably bunch of new content
wait wtf lul
is that a new requirement?
Yes, Hildibrand unlocks trials
How do I unlock it tho
EX SHB trials don't show in mentor roulette
Do Hildibrand
I already finished all
what's the difference between shout and yell?
Shout is zone wide
shout is zone wide
Yell is bigger say
Hildy quests all done
Did you do Rathalos
The hunt?
Yep
Then I'm gonna guess those remaining duties are either optional dungeons or something
There's a few hard mode dungeons and optional dungeons
They'll be "???" Because you have yet to unlock them and they are not in your duty finder yet
I want to get some jute. Is there an easy way to get it without 200 crossbreeds?
Jute and Mandrakes are self replicating
-while in a normal dungeon, almost all my shortcuts stopped working, as well as macros, and even the /return command. this persisted after I left. after teleporting to one of the northern thanalan camps using the map, I briefly recovered the ability to open character screen and use shortcuts, etc. however, after afk-ing for a few minutes and coming back to the game (still in sanctuary) the problem resurfaced. no shortcuts, no commands, no return. what is this? did I accidentally toggle something? how do I turn this feature off
-how should I play tank now that there are two tanks in a full party? am 52 warrior, no other classes except red mage
Yeah but I need to get seeds for them first
@warm iron were they greyed out on your hotbar or you mean your keyboard shortcuts weren't working
keyboard shortcuts
including the escape key, had to use the little menu widgets to navigate stuff
Can always buy one to get you started
Hmm
Interesting
but I also typed /return in chat since I didn't have that one on my hotbar anymore, and that didn't work either.
did it give you an error in chat?
I don't think /return is a command. It would have to be /ac "Return"
yes
what error
The command "/return" is unavailabe at this time
Oh I'm wrong. /return is documented
I would check your keybinds in system > keybinds to make sure they're still there
otherwise idk
i did check, everything was still there, and they did work briefly after teleporting, and now that I've made it to limsa
it's just during the dungeon and after exiting that they refused to function
might be a toggle in character config
hmm, I'll take a look
to answer your 2nd question if youre off tanking you turn on your stance after a few seconds and pick up adds
Encounter dependent
youre the one tanking the adds
and it depends on the fight
some enemies need to be away from each other
in which case both you and the other tank would pull each one away
In the case of moggle mog for example you pick up the tank adds and pull them away from the main boss
Unless adds need to be dragged away, put them on the boss so they can be aoed down
There's no one answer and it depends on the individual fights
Hell there's at least one boss where sometimes you have to bring the tethered enemies back together
I see, that makes sense. thank you everyone.
then, should I be reading up on all future encounters in advance?
Nah
Normal content is doable blind if you want to
Even savage doable blind
But typically thats listed in pf description
All content is completable blind but at higher difficulty content that increases the amount of time spent learning the fight
I see
then lastly, is there a way to quantify enmity? or is it just the red square, yellow triangle, and green circle things?
I have noticed they blink, but have yet to deduce anything from that
the numbers/letter on the party list
why is that right as i enter a new room, some mobs go beeline for the healer/caster dps?
sometimes i really have to chase those 1-2 mobs down (the ones i didin't' get a chance to hit with my tank aoe initially)
but i am the one furthest ahead
healer probably healed
They acted
Doing any action generates some enmity
And you have 0 as a tank who haven't hit them yet
what if i healed myself right away
thank you for this, I never noticed to be honest
Tank stance may multiply aggro but you're multiplying by 0 til you actually hit anything
As the regen keeps aggro even without me hitting stuff
ok so that might actually be more efficient than me chasing them down or using a ranged ST move
Same applies to thrill/equil
for holding aggro
Do yall turn of other players names for fights? Like to unclutter screen
no
Yes
some do some dont
At least initial for party members
If mobs go to others they should bring them to the tank
In sav almost impossible to read tells etc while screen is covered
the chocobo quest is gotten through main questline right?
Turn effects down to limited
!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.
@devout lichen yes its a bluequest that appears when you get far enough in msq
Blue quest after joining a grand company
whats a grand company
You join one for story
Think local militaries in the 3 starter cities
Npc guild
when is flight unlocked btw?
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
for ARR its when you beat the ultimate weapon
oh okay
for base ARR
For 2.0
Next will be 2.1-2.55 patch quest before heavensward in 3.0
I could be off on what the final arr patch was but you get the idea
is it possible to level-lock myself in ARR? so that I don't get too far ahead again. it made some parts of the msq a bit boring as a result
I also need to wait for a friend to catch up before starting heavensward
Msq exp rewards will be massively reduced during the patch content
pick up another class
Otherwise start playing a new job
Have fun and let us know how it's going once you pick your jaw off the floor at the end of arr
hey anyone know how u get https://i.imgur.com/yImIs5K.png
The quest provides it
That’s a class quest item. It’ll be provided to you.
okay dope tyty
first time leveling crafters was just gathering the materials ahead of quests!
This will be the case for all crafter quests from 61 onwards
oooo sweet! appreciate it!
60-70 crafting quests provide the materials when needed. Can’t stockpile them but you’ll never need to prepare before hand.
Is there a way to tell how many players are in a instanced area like Bozja? Im on ps4 and cant find it myself.
Player seaech
Player Search window while in Bozja displays everyone present in your instance.

You can't check an instance before you enter it if that's what you're asking
The player search tab becomes the adventurer list inside that instance
if I decided to swap over to gladiator right now, where would I get gear from that since I cant use my current gear
vendor
You only get the weapon
Vendor for starter gear
Or just use your racial starting gear if you kept it
You'll get gear from the gladiator job quests too
I dont get sprint on tank classes?
I'm almost 15 hours in camping outside of an open plot, spamming the buy button. How much longer could this possibly last? 
it is a mystery
could be 24 hours
which menu is it in cuz it's not under actions, role or traits
actions and traits > general
gotta look through all of them
so where do i download dps meters and a whole other bunch of qol stuff i need for ffxiv?
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
skysteel tools only include main hand?
Yes
theres no option to hide gear set items when desynthing is there?
so at lv80, I go for scrip gear save for main hand?
skysteel is BiS or meld gear?
I believe they're interchangeable
Sky builder is bis iirc
Depending what you need
But that involves getting to skybuilder
isnt relic for gather/craft BiS beside like pentamelded?
They're you choose your own adventure
Relic is fine but might take longer to get
Compared to aesthete
But you have to pentameld aesthete
do the relics glow for crafters and gatherers as well?
which cam be rng and expensive
Yes
Yes they do at the last step
fashion>penta meld
So eden promise Umbra (E9 normal) let’s you get 2 drops per week?
ie: if all I want is a belt, then I only roll belts and I can keep doing e9 until I get my weekly belt?

Belt costs one token anyways
I can still keep doing till I get that 1 token right?
yes
Yes as long as you've received nothing from that floor
Noice, ty
I can't remember if that'll be un nerfed in 5.5 or 5.55
5.5
Uh oh... Well, I'm screwed. I think I gotta start downloading FFXIV all over again. 😞 
i think 5.55 was savage version kat (woops mb meant unlock)
Is there a faster way to switch between chats?
Is there any pointers to be a better healer as white mage? I feel like I'm having trouble keeping up with the damage, especially when the tank runs through and makes big pulls. I'm level 45 now
Wait what? What happens on 5.5? Unlimited tokens per week on e9-12 normal?
Yes
Yes
also a reduction in blades needed for the tome weapon from 7 to 4
yo guys what should i do in the meantime if im planning to buy a story skipper from mogstation and im lvl 1?
make sure you're using cure 2 instead of cure 1
I wouldn’t skip the story bro
^^
i played through the story before, i lost my account and came back to the game
Oh xd
Fair enough
Even with how many MP it costs?
Look up your job as the game is likely to have changed since you last played
Yes
