use your retainers if that’s the way though

#

actually killing mobs to farm idt is a thing in this game

mental parrot
#

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!

remote lintel
#

if you skipped all cutscenes maybe like 10-15 hours

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

remote lintel

remote lintel
#

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

bleak cobalt
#

i thought you could link to steam

#

cuz steam launcher still launched the game launcher

remote lintel
#

theyre different licenses

bleak cobalt
#

hmm

#

well i lost my account

#

should i get it on steam or windows

remote lintel
#

up to you

#

are you in NA

bleak cobalt
#

yea

stuck kayak
#

Fates are still the best way to get memories even at Haunting/vexatious right?

remote lintel
#

steam has less frequent sales than the SE store

#

but it also lets you use steam wallet

bleak cobalt
#

uhh

#

what about mogstation

#

how does steam users work with mogstation

remote lintel
#

all platforms use mog station

bleak cobalt
#

so you still need a mogstation account to play ffxiv on steam?

remote lintel
#

yes

bleak cobalt
#

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?

twilit arch
#

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

bleak cobalt
#

i heard you can just change servers at any time from a town now though

twilit arch
#

world visit, yes

#

same thing still applies

#

you'll be Jane Doe from Siren

vital ruin
#

Does no one do A9S anymore
I can't even find a group on reddit

remote lintel
#

not really

vital ruin
#

How else do they light farm

#

Except lv 50 dungeon

twilit arch
#

soloing lv50 dungeons

vital ruin
#

:/

#

It'll take forever

twilit arch
#

most people are either going to find groups for a9s or solo 50 dungeons

vital ruin
#

How to find a group

flat sail
#

open a PF

vital ruin
#

I did

twilit arch
#

it'll take longer sitting in pf and getting no one and getting absolutely no light

vital ruin
#

No one joins

twilit arch
#

soloing 50 dungeons isn't going to take that much longer to get your light done

flat sail
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vital ruin
#

I did a bunch of lv 50 dungeons it's not going so fast

remote lintel
#

isnt it like 3pm in jp

vital ruin
#

1:44 for me

#

But afternoon

remote lintel
#

not peak hours

well yeah but its like monday

vital ruin
#

When's peak hour

remote lintel
#

vital ruin
#

Oh

#

Ya it takes 4:17 for me

Or is there a server only for lfgs

What's the fastest crystal tower alliance raid to complete

remote lintel
#

syrcus tower

stuck kayak
#

For the Stormblood Memory quest for resistance weapons is it faster to do the two sets of alliance raids or fate farm?

little swift
#

Its probably about the same

#

Rng notwithstanding

#

And queue time

twilit arch
#

personally would just queue for the raids while farming fates

barren flax

Does anyone use fflogs? just wondering what melee/NPC/Pets button do under "casts"

indigo blaze
#

What is a decent fishing macro?

warm snow
#

Why would you need a macro for fishing?

indigo blaze
#

I am impatient

green grail
#

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

okay. I'll try Ifrit for a bit and see how that goes

#

Can the beastman currency purchasable on the MB be exchanged for usable beastman currency?

green grail
#

i dont think there is beast tribe currency you can put up on MB so whatever you're looking at, probably no

bright badger
#

hmm

#

What are they called

green grail
#

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

bright badger
#

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

green grail
#

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

bright badger
#

Ah, I see

green grail
#

or something GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

bright badger
#

I was wondering bc these ARR BTs take forever to rank up

deep gyro
#

yes they take significantly longer than the other expansions sadly

warm snow
#

*laughs in ixal

wintry chasm
deep gyro
#

mainly because they start from 1

bright badger
#

Luckily I'm only doing them to collect orchestrions so I can skip ixal

deep gyro
#

and i think the later expansions start from like 3 or 4 or 5

warm snow
#

But then you miss the edgy catboi

bright badger
#

For the expacs the only BT orchestions I'm missing are pixie, qitari and dwarf

#

Those take a loooong time though

wet cradle
#

can you increase the yield of voidrake from garden patch?

twilit arch
#

yes, with thanalan soil

wet cradle
#

great. thanks 🙂

twilit arch
#

er

#

not thanalan

#

uh shroud, that's the increase yield one

wet cradle
#

yeah correct

#

I also thought its thanalan lol

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

twilit arch
#

you have to take down any items you're currently selling before you'll be allowed to transfer

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah it works this way! Thanks!

frank wigeon
#

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?

grand light
#

strength applies to machinist as well?

proud willow
#

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

plain python
#

should I use cannon for shard/crystal/cluster or materials in Diadem? Don't particularly need any

proud willow
#

MCH doesn't benefit at all from STR. DEX is the stat that determines their damage

grand light
#

@proud willow okay thank you <3

proud willow
#

go ahead and use the Diadem cannon for whatever you need the most

devout lichen
#

does fantasia also allow you to change your name or just appearance

twilit arch
#

just appearance

#

name change is a separate purchase, under "additional services" on the mogstation

frank wigeon
#

hey does the support team allow you to transfer a character from one service account to another?

devout lichen
#

so for my first job I guess, I should ignore everything and only do job and main quests?

shrewd owl
#

pretty much
blue quests are encouraged too

#

as they can unlock stuff like the challenge log or additional dungeons

terse locust
#

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?

forest sage
#

check the last expansion poetics ilvl, and that's the ilvl expected at the start of the next expansion

#

so 130 for HW

terse locust
twilit arch
#

just going to say that you're not expect to be 130 for hw

#

around 110 is what you're expected to be around

devout lichen
#

blue quests? arent they purple

#

these ones I assume

shrewd owl
#

Ye

#

Ehhhh theyre close

devout lichen
#

oh it is blue

devout lichen
#

the level cap without shadowbringers is 60 right

twilit arch
#

correct

proud willow
#

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

marsh nebula
#

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

proud willow
#

what's the error message?

marsh nebula
#

invalid code

twilit arch
#

firstly, are you upgrading from trial to full game or do you already own the base game and simply applying shadowbringers to your account

marsh nebula
#

i bought the game new

twilit arch
#

are you using the correct code first

marsh nebula
#

yes

twilit arch
#

cos you get 2 codes, one for starter edition and one for shadowbringers

marsh nebula
#

i got one code

twilit arch
#

can you screenshot your mogstation please

marsh nebula
#

you mean from the final fantasy 14 launcher

twilit arch
#

oh so you're doing it thru the launcher, and not mogstation?

marsh nebula
#

yes i think

twilit arch
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Does gear ilevel matter in low level dungeons like Stone Vigil? i dont see any minimum required item level but just class level

twilit arch
#

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)

hollow cloak
#

If I buy newest expansion does it give you the ones prior I have the first expansion already ?

marsh nebula
#

okay so like i put in the code through the mogstation but now i am clueless about where i can download the game

halcyon radish
#

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

twilit arch
#

steam should have a download for you

vital ruin
#

What title do u get after getting a lux weapon

twilit arch
#

anima doesn't have a title associated with it

vital ruin
#

Noumenon

#

Anima crossing achievement

twilit arch
#

oh well, fair but that's not tied to lux

#

that's for getting the first stage complete

vital ruin
#

Is that the only anima title

marsh nebula
#

and now it just randomly works

#

what in the actual heck

twilit arch
#

fairly certain, it is. there's no title for getting a lux

vital ruin
#

Damn

#

Worked so hard for lux I thought maybe there's a title

#

But o well nvm

raven burrow
#

are there hidden gimmicks to rdm revive ? pretty sure i saw a rdm reviving 2 people in a row without casting inbetween

twilit arch
#

no, they were just making use of dualcast

raven burrow
#

huh ?

twilit arch
#

!trait Dualcast

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Dualcast** : lvl 1 RDM

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.

raven burrow
#

yeah but how can he use dualcast twice in a row without casting

#

o wait , he used dualcast then swiftcast ?

twilit arch
#

most likely yes

raven burrow
#

bruh moment

vital ruin
#

Can I sell items in a different data center

twilit arch
#

you can physically trade items with other players while world visiting, but using your retainer to sell items on other worlds is not possible

vital ruin
#

Oh :/

lavish vortex
#

hi!, is there a beginners guide to the Gold Saucer and its games?

green grail
#

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

lavish vortex
#

thanks a lot man!!

bright badger
#

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.

green grail
#

it's basically uncovering a Y shape and/or looking into lines that have 1 2 or 3

scarlet arrow
#

y-shape, pick lines that could have 1 2 3 or if that's not possible 7 8 9

bright badger
#

why was 6 afraid of 7

crystal bluff
#

because 7 was a freestyle sam

lavish vortex
#

I just unlocked it! Will give it a try

spark cradle
#

is there a reason i only see tank achievements for doing a number of instances?

#

can't see for other classes except blue

green grail
#

cause there aren't any for other classes

civic spoke
#

Do we get the same amount of xp from trust dungeons that we do from regular dungeons?

spark cradle
#

wait why is it only tanks wtf?

green grail
#

yes, but they take longer than an usual duty finder run since the trusts mostly use single target skills

green grail
#

or something

slate arrow
# spark cradle wait why is it only tanks wtf?

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

spark cradle
#

oh lol

warped nest
#

Those mounts are okay

spark cradle
#

i mean ig decent for old time

warped nest
#

You have lion, bear, black panther, and Saber tooth tiger

#

They are very rustic, not very glowy and flashy

balmy osprey
#

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

terse roost
#

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.

faint flare
#

The drg should be tethering the highest dps player

#

And then hoping they stay close

slate arrow
balmy osprey
#

well, i was second aggro after tank, and the dragoons so far have tethered with rangeds, idk

faint flare
#

Aggro isn't a good metric

balmy osprey
#

i also use act, just curious about dragoons tho, maybe i need to learn it

terse roost
#

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.

balmy osprey
#

gotcha thank you, thought i did something wrong

terse roost
#

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

balmy osprey
#

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

terse roost
#

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."

balmy osprey
#

ah i see, thank you! :)

faint flare
#

Blm in general are seen as a high dps job

#

So people without act just tether them as a go to

balmy osprey
#

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/

faint flare
#

Mch isn't a bad option for tether, due to reassemble and Hypercharge

warm snow
#

But yeah, seems like most drgs use a macro

#

I feel the dropped gcd every time I use the eye

faint flare
#

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

calm sky
#

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.

terse roost
#

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.."

faint flare
#

They disabled PvP for free trial

#

Temporarily

#

Due to rampart hackers

#

It was the latest hotfix

calm sky
#

i see. thanks for the heads up.

scarlet arrow
#

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

tough sundial
#

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

There's been a ping exploit

Which tricks the game to thinking you have really low ping regardless

arctic glacier
tough sundial
vernal urchin
#

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

tough sundial

um whats this? sorry i only started playing like 4 days ago im so confused

So a player told me to redeem his recruitment code

What does it do

vernal urchin

gives you some goodies like an xp boosting hat for low levels and free teleport tickets

He gets a kickback as well

Ohh

#

He'll get twintania right

vernal urchin
#

Yeah

#

Well, if he gets enough feathers anyway

vital ruin
#

I want a twintania :/

#

I'll be playing for a very long time. He'll probably get it

you should've made a Mogstation account when you started playing

leaden ginkgo
#

yes im currently on it now where do i go to use the code

slate arrow
#

the big "transfer to full game" button near the top

vital ruin

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

**Blaze** : lvl 1 BLU (200 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

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.

Blue Magic

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.

#

you'll see your damage be a crit if you land it

leaden ginkgo
#

just wanted to make sure, I have a lvl 80 mnk and i thought maybe i may have missed something

#

wouldve expected it

slate arrow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

yea basically 45 seconds of no positonals lmaooo

tacit jungle
#

How many DoH do I need to cover all the weapon crafting. BSM, CRP, and ALC?

slate arrow
#

i mean, ideally you should do all of them

vernal urchin
#

A lot of crafting recipes require other items made by other crafters

tacit jungle
#

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

warm snow
#

Zurvan weapons specifically were only added in the last couple patches

devout lichen
#

is tanking easier/more casual compared to wow

gritty oracle
#

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.

deep gyro
#

can't see why not

slate arrow
scarlet arrow
devout lichen
#

sounds good so I guess my next job will be a tank cuz i dont wanna start over now

scarlet arrow
#

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

devout lichen
#

brand new ring?

scarlet arrow
#

from the Hall of the novice

devout lichen
#

I dont have it I dont think

scarlet arrow
#

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

pliant wind
#

What do I do if my cash shop purchase is lost

#

Because my mailbox was full

devout lichen
#

the dps queues dont really bother me but I am interested in tanking cuz I like it except in wow

scarlet arrow
#

well remember that you can start a new class from level 1 at any time 🙂

tacit jungle
#

@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 😛

scarlet arrow
#

yeah eventually you'll be expected to pull at least two trash packs at once, pop CDs and aoe them down

devout lichen
#

the first dungeon I did dude just ran through half the dungeon

scarlet arrow
#

well the mobs in the first dungeon don't hit particularly hard

leaden ginkgo
#

what would you do if i was in your room raight noaw ;)?

scarlet arrow
#

so even with only cure 1 it's not hard to heal through multiple mobs

devout lichen
#

how would I even catch up to the same level

#

since I think that dungeon is like level 18 or something

wheat plume
#

Can a macro place/delete waymarks?

scarlet arrow
#

your class hunting log, class quests, fates

tacit jungle
#

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

devout lichen
#

dont I need to be 16 to run the dungeon

tacit jungle
#

yeah, before that it's class quests and hunting logs

devout lichen
#

how long would it take

tacit jungle
#

side quests too but they don't have great exp

#

1-16 would maybe be a few hours?

#

without msq

scarlet arrow
#

yeah, fewer if you actively hunt down FATEs

wheat plume
#

1-16 in less that 1 hour, if u party with other player and do fates

tacit jungle
#

oh yeah fates at that level are easy

wheat plume
#

There are 2 zones in thanalan next to each other that spawm fates lvl 10-15 IIRC

devout lichen
#

think I will leave getting a tank until I'm 60 or higher

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

strange coral
#

Little Ladies Day is usually the March event. Next one will likely be Hatchingtide in April.

leaden ginkgo
#

The main wonder is in relation to the Free Login Campaign

#

It ends on march 31

tacit jungle
#

@devout lichen If you like Gunbreaker, those start at 60

#

dark knight starts at 30, but you unlock it at 50

devout lichen
#

yeah gunbreaker is really the only one im interested in

tacit jungle
#

I thiiiink you unlock it at lvl 60? I could be wrong

#

but you need shadowbringers

worthy harbor
#

do I have to do all 2.1-2.5 to get to dark knight in hw?

tacit jungle
#

Just have to get to ishgard

strange coral
#

Yes, you have to do MSQ to get to Ishgard

devout lichen
#

I will be buying shadowbringers when I get to 60 anyway, I just hope to reach 60 within 25 more days

worthy harbor
#

if youre only levelling one class, youll get 60 almost before you finish arr msq with all of the boosts and everything

tacit jungle
#

yeah MSQ over-levels you between expansions, since you get 4-5 patches of story that was origianlly done at level cap

manic flare
#

what is the AOE version of jolt

slate arrow
#

Veraero 2 or verthunder 2

#

Impact is the long cast for AoE

strange coral
#

Impact is Scatter at lower levels

frozen girder
#

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 😭

slate arrow
#

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

manic flare
#

what was the last collab?

slate arrow
#

the Nier one, technically

frozen girder
#

Lol I love the Nier stuffz

slate arrow
#

if you mean the last time limited one, it's the Dragon Quest collab

manic flare
#

what seasonal item was from the Nier collab?

open coral
#

Wasn't the FFXV more recent than the Dragon Quest one?

slate arrow
#

no, Dragon Quest had a rerun

open coral
open coral
scarlet arrow
#

NieR content is permanent

slate arrow
#

oh true

strange coral
#

Yokai was little more recent than DQ

slate arrow
#

sorry I've just lost track whoops

manic flare
#

did you guys grind the yokai stuff?

open coral
#

Yeah, it's hard to keep track with all the events rerunning.

strange coral
#

Both were kinda rehashes though

manic flare
#

i found the yokai aesthetic to be very un-FFXIV

slate arrow
#

that's the point yes

crimson crystal
#

Is bozja just one instance per data center?

open coral
#

No

sour beacon
#

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?

strange coral
#

80

open coral
#

Plus all of the bluequest content unlock quests if you want to do those.

sour beacon
#

Are you guys joking?

open coral
#

No, that's seriously how many there are.

manic flare
sour beacon
#

Oh god, then I have a long night ahead of me

manic flare
#

so maybe he is already in the middle of the post-ARR content

sour beacon
open coral
#

Oh, you're most of the way through then.

#

First Blood is the 7th quest in 2.4

sour beacon
manic flare
#

yea you are about midway

open coral
#

You have 35 more quests after that one.

manic flare
#

this is how many more quests u have to do

sour beacon
#

I was about to ask if there is a list

manic flare
#

yes but it's spoilery

sour beacon
#

Thank you guys

manic flare
#

i dont recommend looking at it

vital ruin
#

Can u sell any mogstation mount/minion on mb

open coral
#

No

vital ruin
#

Rip

open coral
#

Mogstation items are not resellable.

manic flare
#

u can't sell any mogstation stuff on
MB

vital ruin
#

Big rip

manic flare
#

?

#

why is that

sour beacon
#

1 more question can I ask for help with duty on this dc?

manic flare
#

yes

vital ruin
#

Ez gil ig
But it's good that it isn't allowed

open coral
#

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.

manic flare
#

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

vital ruin
#

20k

#

I get more selling ores

boreal storm
#

20k Ain’t nothin

manic flare
#

it's seomthing

open coral
#

Mogstation items are non-resellable precisely to prevent people from earning gil off of them.

vital ruin
#

20 won't even get me good armor :/

open coral
#

Specifically to keep bots from reselling them for gil which would then be used for RMT

manic flare
open coral
#

Good armor doesn't cost gil, yeah.

vital ruin
#

U can get 510 items via poetics?

sour beacon
manic flare
#

crypturlker tomestones

open coral
#

You can get 540 items for tomestones, not poetics.

vital ruin
#

o

#

I c

open coral
#

Endgame tomestones.

#

Tomestones of Revelation.

vital ruin
#

I started getting different tomestones after reaching lv80

open coral
#

Yeah, those are for endgame gear.

vital ruin
#

I c

#

I'll keep collecting

open coral
#

Just like poetics are used at lower levels.

manic flare
# vital ruin I c

yea dont waste money buying level 80 gear off MB, the tomestone stuff is better, much better

open coral
#

Once the next expansion comes out, those tomestones will be retired, and the level 80 gear will be available for poetics.

manic flare
#

in fact, you really only need gil to buy glamour

vital ruin
#

Ohh

manic flare
#

u dont need gil for armor/gear at all

vital ruin
#

How much is a house right now

#

A small one

manic flare
#

3.4 mil for small

scarlet arrow
vital ruin
#

Wait what

open coral
#

Small houses are about 3M

vital ruin
#

Just 3?!

open coral
#

For the plot

vital ruin
#

And medium?

manic flare
#

10 mil

open coral
#

12M? I think?

vital ruin
#

Fuck

manic flare
#

getting the gil is the easy part

vital ruin
#

Howww

manic flare
#

of buying a house

open coral
#

Just do content.

vital ruin
#

I'm stuck at 4 mil

#

The more I progress the more I've to buy

open coral
#

I have like 20M just from doing roulettes and weekly challenges and not spending on anything except teleports.

manic flare
vital ruin
#

Especially for doh

scarlet arrow
#

there are far more interested homeowners than homes for sale

vital ruin
#

Where do I buy doh/dol gear

manic flare
#

u will accumulate gil in no time

vital ruin
#

Lv 60-80

manic flare
vital ruin
#

Without gil

open coral
#

DoH/DoL gear you get off the MB or make yourself.

manic flare
#

scrip gear

vital ruin
#

Ohh

open coral
#

Or scrips, yeah

manic flare
#

is bought from vendors in idyllshire

vital ruin
#

Damn it

#

My scripts are going to anima relics

#

Fml

manic flare
#

you dont spend yellow/white scrips on anima gear iirc

wintry chasm
#

24-man raid series for ARR @sour beacon

sour beacon
#

24 man? Ah god

vital ruin
#

I use scripts to buy blue scripts to exchange for crystal sands

#

Those 12 custom deliveries

#

I hate dol deliveries

worthy rain
#

When itemlevel syncs (be due to character level cap or directly because ilevel sync), how the sync applies to the materia stats?

manic flare
#

the CT raids take 15 minutes to complete

#

because everyone just wants to get through them asap

#

think of them as mini-praetorium

sour beacon
#

Yes but 24 people is a LOT

manic flare
#

well there are 48 and 72 man raids in this game

sour beacon
#

Wow

worthy harbor
#

you get split up into groups of 8 for half of them

manic flare
#

yes apparetnly the WoL isn't one person, but an army

#

that outnumbers all other forces in eorzea

scarlet arrow
#

don't be intimidated by 24-man raids, particularly the Crystal Tower ones

#

they are designed to be cleared by randomly-matched groups

pastel pivot
#

quick question if i buy the complete edition for 35 pounds, after one month would it cost another 35?

open coral
#

No

#

!faq subprice

zinc orbitBOT
#
Subscription Prices
pastel pivot
#

so say i had shadowbringers and all the other expansions, i could just pay 14 pounds for an extea 90 days?

raw granite
#

Wait why are they saying Gosetsu's a roegadyn ? He's just a very big hyur, right ?

open coral
pastel pivot
#

ok thanks :)) oh and do i pay on mogstation or on square enix (where i got thegame)

open coral
#

Although you do have to purchase subsequent expansions (such as the upcoming Endwalker expansion) separately.

#

Yes, you pay on Mogstation.

pastel pivot
#

ok thank you very much

wintry chasm
#

Specifically "far eastern roe"

#

So not Hellsguard or Sea Wolf

raw granite
#

So the asian roe just looks like big humans ?

#

That's disappointing

spice stratus
#

if you go by that logic, all roes just look like big humans

raw granite
#

nah

#

they have blue skin

#

sometimes their nose's look like a deer's

#

which is cool

slate arrow
#

are y'all here to argue or ask questions

raw granite
#

wrong chan

#

thought I was in the spoiler one, my bad

vernal urchin
#

if I start a free trial on a ps4, will that psn id be permanently attached to that SE account?

slate arrow
#

Yes

vernal urchin

drifting parcel
#

is there any preference for zones while farming the haunting memories?

rigid wolf
#

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

slate arrow
#

all slots must be filled with something

rigid wolf
#

Ok so just watever

#

And dye a hat?

slate arrow
#

yes

strange coral
#

Except belt and offhand. Those don't matter.

rigid wolf
#

Kk in summary put shirt on and dye the hat and everything else can stay as watever i already had in slot

strange coral
#

Yes

rigid wolf
#

Lovely thnx

devout lichen
#

how large would be the stormblood + shadowbringers download size, I read somewhere that shadowbringers alone was about 8gb

strange coral
#

About 14 GB

drifting parcel
strange coral
#

It's completely RNG. And yes, people have said the drop is still pretty low in their experience.

drifting parcel
#

I farmed the other 18 memories from othard relatively fast, but these gyr abania memories are like a total 180

little swift
#

Rng is rng

scarlet arrow
#

void ark takes about 15 minutes per run and is definitely the more efficient way to farm those memories

little swift
#

If you want semblance of consistency do the mhach alliance raids

#

And farm the fates while in queue

drifting parcel
#

yeah that's what I did

#

I've been farming void ark for one type and azim steppe for the others

leaden ginkgo
#

My internet is going to shit rn

drifting parcel
#

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

little swift
#

Rng is rng

#

It happens

scarlet arrow
#

also make sure you aren't queuing for void ark as a tank

little swift
#

This would fall under #rants more than a question tbh

#

Its not really something we have control over that we can fix

drifting parcel
#

Well it originally was a question

little swift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

i just downloaded the trial version so i can cuome back after 30 days with the return campaign

drifting parcel
#

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

open coral
leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
#

you would have to make a new account to play the trial

leaden ginkgo
#

ah no

open coral
#

You cannot play on the Trial if you've already had a sub, even if your sub lapsed.

leaden ginkgo
#

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

open coral
#

The trial version of the game and the callback campaign are not compatible.

open ember
#

You wouldn't be able to download the game on a free trial launcher if you have a standard account

remote lintel
#

you would still have to download the dlc

leaden ginkgo
#

i just make new acc thenb....

leaden ginkgo
open coral
#

In which case the callback campaign wouldn't apply to you.

#

They're mutually exclusive.

latent raven
#

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.

remote lintel
#

no

remote lintel
#

and yes

open coral
# leaden ginkgo how so

The callback campaign ONLY applies to the paid version of the game. The trial is not the same as the paid version.

leaden ginkgo
#

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

open coral
#

No

open ember
#

You still have to redownload the whole game depending on how many expacs are on your account

leaden ginkgo
#

nah, it will

open coral
#

The trial version simply won't let you launch the game.

leaden ginkgo
#

ive done this multiple ties before

#

it will, i'll just have to download the dlc

drifting parcel
open ember
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

nah im sure of it

open coral
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

leaden ginkgo
#

if u log into a trial client with normal acc the client will update automatically

faint flare
#

Go ahead then

#

We'll be waiting for when it fails

open coral
#

You can be sure, and still be wrong.

open ember
#

You still have to download the whole game anyway

#

So regardless

leaden ginkgo
#

i'll be waitung when it succeeds!

open coral
#

Question's been answered, so we can stop here.

little swift
#

It updates to standard client when you register a game license to your mogstation account

#

But either way you download everything

spark cradle
#

how long does it take for a available levequest to swap to another?

leaden ginkgo
#

24 hours I believe

spark cradle
#

oh oof ok

leaden ginkgo
#

They reset daily

open ember
#

I believe its 3 every 12 hours

spark cradle
#

as in 3 of them at once will switch?

open ember
#

Switch?

spark cradle
#

like swap for another

open ember
#

No its like 3 leves total for every 12 hours elapsed for all leves no matter the class

remote lintel
#

they're talking about the levequest cycles

open ember
#

OH

#

yes I believe so

#

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

spark cradle
#

what do you mean 3 every 12 hours so like they swap for another available every 4 or 3 available at a person swaps?

open ember
#

You gain 3 new leve allowances regardless of the vendor. Everyone has a different leve counter but you can't exceed 99

spark cradle
#

oh no this is the leves themselves

tacit jungle
#

oh you mean when there are more than 3, when do they change/rotate

#

I would assume daily but I'm not sure

tacit jungle

or if you complete one it'll be replaced with a random one from the available list

#

sometimes the same one, sometimes another

spark cradle
#

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?

rigid wolf
#

Said i got armor of lost ant but not in inventory

tacit jungle
#

without you doing a leve I would assume it's on the daily reset

spark cradle
#

ok thanks

open ember
#

Oh that's what you meant

#

Yeah that I'm not sure

this grind act ass long

yeeeeah.... I want to get my Lux weapon for BRD

but that grind

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?

faint flare

No

They're in the HIGH END DUTY TAB

open ember

#

Doi

#

Thanks

After unlocking them by doing normal modes

spark cradle

i mean that was prob just about lux sucking in general

open ember
#

HW relics are far more tolerable than ARR relic

tacit jungle
spark cradle
#

YES THEY ARE OMG

tacit jungle
#

I want that

crisp edge
#

And theb you have to do the final four in order to unlock each EnS, right?

spark cradle
#

i'm on the clusters tier for HW

tacit jungle
#

it's still a rough grind

spark cradle
#

why is the lux tier so fucking easy?

faint flare
#

You have to do 9-12 in order yes

#

Otherwise you forfeit loot

#

Every week

#

Funky

#

Thanks, Vinyl!

open ember
#

Maybe cuz they realized ARR grind sucks so badly

manic flare
#

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

open ember
#

Pretty sure it clears after you log out

manic flare
#

fuck

spark cradle
tacit jungle
#

barely started. I only did the 6 crystals

spark cradle
#

also omg feels so good that the SHB grind can coincide with HW grind

tacit jungle
#

I got the step after that on DRK

spark cradle
#

oh get ready lol

#

i wish stuff like the clusters repeatable quests were open earlier

#

like fml

frosty badger
#

Can someone help me figure out the last one I'm missing?

spark cradle
#

probably bunch of new content

faint flare
#

Probably Hildibrand stormblood trial

#

Usually is

spark cradle
#

is that a new requirement?

faint flare
#

Yes, Hildibrand unlocks trials

frosty badger
#

How do I unlock it tho

open ember
#

EX SHB trials don't show in mentor roulette

faint flare
#

Do Hildibrand

frosty badger
#

I already finished all

manic flare
#

what's the difference between shout and yell?

faint flare
#

Shout is zone wide

remote lintel
#

shout is zone wide

faint flare
#

Yell is bigger say

frosty badger
#

Hildy quests all done

open ember
#

Did you do Rathalos

open ember
#

Because that's also part of mentor roulette

#

Also all guildheists as well

frosty badger
#

The hunt?

open ember
#

Yep

frosty badger
#

Yes

#

Still not sure what's the ???

open ember
#

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

wet cradle

I want to get some jute. Is there an easy way to get it without 200 crossbreeds?

faint flare

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

@warm iron were they greyed out on your hotbar or you mean your keyboard shortcuts weren't working

warm iron
#

keyboard shortcuts

#

including the escape key, had to use the little menu widgets to navigate stuff

faint flare
wet cradle
#

Hmm

faint flare
#

Plant mandrake > plant jute > replant the mandrake

#

Both will cross breed for jute

wet cradle
#

Interesting

warm iron
#

but I also typed /return in chat since I didn't have that one on my hotbar anymore, and that didn't work either.

remote lintel
#

did it give you an error in chat?

strange coral
#

I don't think /return is a command. It would have to be /ac "Return"

warm iron
remote lintel
#

what error

warm iron
#

The command "/return" is unavailabe at this time

strange coral
#

Oh I'm wrong. /return is documented

remote lintel
#

I would check your keybinds in system > keybinds to make sure they're still there

#

otherwise idk

warm iron
#

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

remote lintel
#

might be a toggle in character config

warm iron
#

hmm, I'll take a look

remote lintel
#

to answer your 2nd question if youre off tanking you turn on your stance after a few seconds and pick up adds

warm iron
#

alright, thank you!

#

do I then drag them away or towards the main tank?

little swift
#

Encounter dependent

remote lintel
#

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

little swift
#

In the case of moggle mog for example you pick up the tank adds and pull them away from the main boss

faint flare
#

Unless adds need to be dragged away, put them on the boss so they can be aoed down

warm snow
#

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

warm iron
#

I see, that makes sense. thank you everyone.
then, should I be reading up on all future encounters in advance?

little swift
#

Nah

remote lintel
#

you dont have to

#

unless its like EX or savage

little swift
#

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

warm iron
#

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

remote lintel
#

the numbers/letter on the party list

faint flare
#

Look at the party list

#

Its under your job icon

#

Its a bar

little swift
#

Orange means aggro on you

#

Green means its not on you

manic flare
#

why is that right as i enter a new room, some mobs go beeline for the healer/caster dps?

remote lintel
manic flare
#

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)

remote lintel
#

some dungeons have mobs aggro on whoever passes a certain point

#

like the vault

manic flare
#

but i am the one furthest ahead

remote lintel
#

healer probably healed

faint flare
#

They acted

#

Doing any action generates some enmity

#

And you have 0 as a tank who haven't hit them yet

manic flare
#

what if i healed myself right away

warm iron
faint flare
#

It would get aggro yes

#

I like using Aurora while running on gnb

warm snow
#

Tank stance may multiply aggro but you're multiplying by 0 til you actually hit anything

faint flare
#

As the regen keeps aggro even without me hitting stuff

manic flare
#

ok so that might actually be more efficient than me chasing them down or using a ranged ST move

faint flare
#

Same applies to thrill/equil

manic flare
#

for holding aggro

Do yall turn of other players names for fights? Like to unclutter screen

no

Mounts FAQ

'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.

Flying FAQ

'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

devout lichen
#

oh okay

warm iron
#

ahh, that's the quest I'm on right now. cool

#

is that the final ARR quest then?

remote lintel
#

for base ARR

warm snow
#

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

warm iron
#

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

warm snow
#

Msq exp rewards will be massively reduced during the patch content

remote lintel
#

pick up another class

warm snow
#

Otherwise start playing a new job

warm iron
#

fair enough I suppose

#

thanks again for the help and answers

warm snow
#

Have fun and let us know how it's going once you pick your jaw off the floor at the end of arr

first time leveling crafters was just gathering the materials ahead of quests!

faint flare

Npcs give them to you

#

For later quests

warm snow
#

This will be the case for all crafter quests from 61 onwards

dark geyser
#

oooo sweet! appreciate it!

gloomy ice
#

60-70 crafting quests provide the materials when needed. Can’t stockpile them but you’ll never need to prepare before hand.

if I decided to swap over to gladiator right now, where would I get gear from that since I cant use my current gear

remote lintel

You only get the weapon

Vendor for starter gear

Or just use your racial starting gear if you kept it

warm snow

You'll get gear from the gladiator job quests too

I dont get sprint on tank classes?

ACT/Parsing

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.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

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.

plain python

skysteel tools only include main hand?

faint flare

Yes

dark geyser

theres no option to hide gear set items when desynthing is there?

plain python
#

so at lv80, I go for scrip gear save for main hand?

faint flare
#

As entry level

#

Aesthete melded is better

plain python
#

skysteel is BiS or meld gear?

faint flare
#

I believe they're interchangeable

warm snow
#

Sky builder is bis iirc

faint flare
#

Depending what you need

warm snow
#

But that involves getting to skybuilder

dark geyser
#

isnt relic for gather/craft BiS beside like pentamelded?

little swift
#

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

dark geyser

do the relics glow for crafters and gatherers as well?

which cam be rng and expensive
