I am a dps main but wanna try tank which class should I choose
Hey guys! đ Are there any fish caught during the deep sea fishing trip that typically sell on the market board?
I only need to have 858 GP to get all bonus yield/attempt from Diadem node, right?
and I'm supposed to follow a single gathering route instead of two routes at once in Diadem?
not really
you can check your specific server though
maybe fish that can be add to aquarium or mount on wall. Otherwise, they are useless đŽ
oh...
honestly you should check that yourself and multiple pieces are probably gonna be cheaper on one than the other but anothermight have cheaper of 1 thing

Do u know which map bro? trying help a friend out lol

you cant see it on the map until shadowbringers actually

i didnt care for rp but i just joined it because it had the most people
How did that guy get there lol
ya just join whatever server tbh
theyre all about the same really
yeah
is there anyway to increase our beast tribe allowance?
Nope
@leaden ginkgo word of advice not to be following desperius guides to much. there are some which contain misinformation or don't give you all the information you need.
Got u thank you buddy
Wondering if you can grow crops in an apartment?
You cannot have a garden but you can plant seeds in a flowerpot in an apartment
however, since you can't crossbreed, you'd be losing most of the value of growing a cash crop

How often should I craft gear for gatherera
Like are there certain lvls I should switch out gear
I want to craft everything now so I dont have to do it later
can i own an apartment and a house?
Yes
can you macro /visor so there won't be a need to type /visor in chat again?
yes
you can macro any emote
do new players have any advantages or special statuses/ programs?
@fervent silo @remote lintel thank you!
@bleak cobalt novice network
Retainers are character specific
If you mean the option of paying for extra retainers, then you donât pay extra for having multiple characters and each character gets the extra retainer slot(s)
can you check the date your character was created?
no
Well kinda
You can look at your achievements on lodestone and filter to oldest first
Since you SHOULD get your first achievement that same day
Unless you somehow played for less than a minute or something

I had the first expansion on PS4 and just now bought the complete edition instead, but I wanna buy it for PC too. Anyone have a cheap version for PC? Like cdkeys or something? Not sure if I can ask for this here but I'm asking for legit keys/games here to pay for, just not 60 euros.
goes on sale a lot
do i still have to level every class for class skills?
i only wanna touch a few classes
and ignore the ones i dont like
p sure this discord doesnt condone sites like that so its better not to ask
i cannot logi into my square enix acc on the game so i cant play it
what do i do
@silver ruin Even if they're legit versions that are registered on MogStation?
doesnt tell us much about the problem you're having, did you forget your password? or?
Yes, every class has separate levels.
Well
You don't have to level OTHER classes for their skills to put on other jobs
cross class skills are gone
If that's what you meant
yeah i meant cross class
no it just says function un availible
yes because those sites are not authorized resellers, im not a mod here or anything so im guessing, but im fairly certain they wouldnt want shady sites like this talked about too frequently in regards to ff keys
so theres no difference between a white mage that only has white mage at 80 and every other class at 0 and a white mage that has every class at lvl 80?
just wait for a sale.
nope
wow nice
Cross class doesnât exist anymore
anybody online on Chaos who could help me with Crystal Tower dutys?
Correct
What sites other than steam are not "shady sellers" where I can check if they got sales?
Amazon, GameStop, most major retailers
^
no it just says function un availible
sites like cdkeys etc you dont know where the keys come from, if fraud happened to obtain the keys etc
i saw that the first time, did you get an email or anything from SE? i dont think ive seen this error before
Yeah if the person that the keyâs from ever asks for a chargeback your account can easily get banned
no
is there a ranking of class difficulty?
Not really and it can be contentious but there are some jobs that are just widely seen as easier like Red Mage or Samurai (past the skill names)
are bard / machinist hard?
that being said, to play decently yes, but if you wanna play good you're gonna have to look into stuff beyond basic stuff
Thanks guys
machinist is mostly a rigid rotation
bard is...proc based? and they have to juggle songs
I always found Summoner/Ninja/Gunbreaker hard, but thatâs more me not really liking the flow of their rotations.
whats the best all round class between machinist / bard/ ninja?
For some reason I get "Access Denied" when I try to go to gamestop.com. Anyone else?
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://www.gamestop.com/" on this server.
Bard is DOT management and songs combo
and machinist is ping dependent, i think bard too.
@lethal mist works just fine for me. Are you using a VPN?
@obsidian patio Nope, everything stock. All other sites work normally. So weird... Could you just check the price of the FFXIV Complete Edition there?
Normal price of 60
Ok thank you. Will look into why I can't access the site at a later time tho, weird...
No
Green gear is basically just...rarity
It's mainly used for dungeon and crafted gear
White = glamour gear + crafted gear not at level cap
Green = level cap crafted gear + dungeon gear
Blue = Tomestone/Trial/Raid/Scrip gear
Purple = Relic weapons
With a few exceptions here and there
Also thereâs pink for Aetherial accessories but those stop existing at and past level 50
iirc aetherial got removed completely last patch
when they did the dungeon gear rework
Aetherial accessories still exist, but the rest of the Aetherial stuff got removed

Okay so I got demon lanner
What do I do with these demon tokens
Either throw them away or you can trade them for the Zurvan weaps
Ig I'll get zurvan weaps and disassemble them
if you have armorer desynth leveled then buy shields, you can get like 3 times as much since they're only 3 totems > 3x chance for the rare material > profit
sunburst (old diadem) was also a thing but is also made of unobtanium
any idea why i cant queue 50/60/70 dung roulette as SCH? my sch is lv53 btw
it says 1 or 2 req unmet
but i can q as SMN tho
how many lv 50 dungeons you have available (CM/prae dont count)
i alrdy finish ARR and 7 quest left on HW
also what's your sch item level?
74
i keep getting error i2501 and driving me nuts
can i buy crysta from the ffxiv companion app?
need 90 or higher
yeah i can q now. got lv19-30 accesories equipped đ

is all this seriously necessary to submit a support ticket?
if that's on the page to submit a support ticket then.. yes
Is there a way for me to practice moving the boss around? I noticed that me not being able to smoothly and properly move the boss causes dps lost for both me and my raid
How long does it usually take you guys to get from 70-80 as a tank job ?
Leveling my 2nd alt job and was wondering if i should just spam dungeons as DRK ?
putting together a fc ship/sub depends on fitting things so it goes in the allowed set of parts (brain no working ignore any references in airship guide to diadem since it refers to old version). https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/245872-Airship-Guide https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/357591-Submersible-Information-Thread
unlocking additional ships/subs depends on exploration progress in key sectors
Yeah 70-80 will drag a bit as your alt class bonus is halved. From 71 on bozja is the best exp iirc
But that can also be dependent on how busy an instance is
if you're doing, say, a few hours a day over 1-2 weeks you'll hit 80
I have a dumb question about training others' chocobos
does it matter what fruit I shove down their gullets?
if just wat to train for achivo prog it shuldn't
like, just general leveling
anyway to edit the render distance (if i think that's the issue here), didnt use to look this bad
wait that's a fog?
I got my Final Fantasy 14 subscription on a recurring subscription so if I were to say add 2 months with a Game Time card right when my reoccurring subscription time comes up will it use that game time before it charges me for my recurring subscription again?
See the little icon in the top right of your minimap, hover over it to see the current weather
Curiel root gives xp boost, more if feed multiple times
yeah just looks rather scuffed for a fog
it shouldn't look that bad though

I have a question with leves
which one is better to do when you trying to level up between 60 - 70
the Kugane Leves or Ishgard Large Leves?
kugane
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/ how do you see total stat of gear you choose on this site? đŽ
they sum up at the bottom
you have to click the row to select it, it gets highlighted
The game time cards get used up first
why cant I need sometimes when I need the item
Need is only available if your current class can use the equipment
what about rings, cant need those either
Accessories are finicky for pre-61 since theyâre designed for specific roles but arenât role-locked
Pink means it has randomized secondary stats
oh, so there is the normal rarity of the item, white green probably blue idk, then it can also be pink on top?
Nah. Pink is a separate rarity that stops appearing past 49
But to give a quick key for what accessories are for what classes for pre-50:
White = Casters
Purple = Ranged + Ninja
Blue/Green = Healers
Red/yellow = Melee DPS + Tanks
Yellow and red might still be further restricted, Yellow being for tanks and red being for melee DPS
is that the same for armor too
This is only for accessories
Tanks = ones that list tank classes
Lancer/Dragoon = stuff that lists them or âDisciple of Warâ
Every other melee/ranged DPS = âDisciple of Warâ
Casters/healers = âAll Classesâ with intelligence/mind
Once you hit level 50 content and onwards gear becomes locked to specific roles
Fending = Tanks
Healing = healers
Casting = casters
Aiming = ranged DPS
Striking = Samurai/Monk. Accessories are Slaying.
Maiming = Dragoon. Accessories are Slaying.
Scouting = Ninja. Accessories are Aiming.
you can use them to dye items in this game, your gear for the most part
if you can dye something usually there is a small empty circle in the top right corner of the item icon and when you right click it there should be an option to dye
once you dye something the small circle in the corner of the icon is filled with the colour that you have dyed it with
think I see it but it doesnt have the option to dye
Thereâs a quest to unlock dyeing iirc
In vesper bay(?) called âcolor your worldâ
oh
I do have 2 glamour prisms from quests so far
but good idea, thanks
also should I buy shadowbringers as soon as I get to 60 cuz someone said there is a bunch more quests between 60 and when stormblood starts and I'm wondering if you can continue leveling with those quests
If you're fully invested in the game definitely, if you want to play samurai, dancer, gunbreaker or red mage before then you'll also have to buy shadowbringers
similar to the level 50 quests in between base ARR and HW, those quests don't give that much xp and will only give you a level or 2. its mainly to create a buffer so that you can go into the next expac and be able to focus on MSQ without being level locked
yeah
the main issue is just you're going to hit level 60 much earlier than that point
so it's more than just losing xp from those quests
in the end, up to you. if your invested in the game i would pick up ShB the moment you hit 60 so that any extra exp you gain doesn't go down the drain
guess I will buy it then, at this rate I will get to 60 before the end of the week
It also gets you stormblood, have fun

are levequests worth doing for the gil?
Thereâs a specific levequest in ShB for gil making purpose
ah, ShB... still have to work my way there haha
not sure about early, past expac leves
just finished main stormblood
ah that's nice. I got my CUL to 80 already
when do those special meters for classes unlock
every job gets a gauge at different levels
some start with it, some get it at 60 or 70
anyone running roulettes?
if you are can i Join you? im halfway to level 80 from 79
#603040914096783371 or whatever your equivalent is
Why isnt it offeeing me single world from Light DC?
When I try to transfer
Twintania is preferred rn so i don't understand
do you have characters on light?
No currently on Chaos Louisoix
I want to go to Light Twintania or any of Light worlds
Maybe I have to change DC i. Game?
Hmm doesnt work :/
do we have numbers on castrum exp gain from bozja?
Figured it out
would this be the place to ask for party members for an E6N clear? if not whcih channel, if any u.u
You're better off either just queueing that in the DF, or (if you're having trouble finding a group since it's way off peak hours for NA right now), starting a group for it in PF.
Ok, so why it wont let me choose Light DC to transfer. I literally have no characters there
It allows me every DC and world
Except Light
I'd like to mention that I alreqdy transfered from Light to Chaos somewhere in January and it wasnt preferred world
can you screenshot?
Could it be that
Baaically it lists all dc where ai can transfer except Light and its worlds
I just checked the EU server statuses, and only Twintania should be restricted to character creation/transfer right now.
Yeah, it doesnt offer any other Light world either
Can you screenshot like Cal asked?
I'll try
That's gonna take few seconds I need to swotch to PC the list is long, literally can transfer to Na dc, Japan Dc, other Chaos worlds, except Light worlds
Ok it works now Im so dumb, turns out I had characters on every world except twintania and since entry sub allows 1 thats why and twintania is preferred so cant there
It all works now, sorry for trouble haha
How long preferred status lasts, I kind of want twintania my friends are there and I'd lovr to join their fc ultimately
90 days
Until they change it - at least until 5.5 for current preferred servers.
Also, it's not locked to new character creation because it's preferred, it's locked temporarily locked to new character creation because there are too many people online.
Oh so I can transfer to preferred still, should I try later then
Yes
Uh, yay ok thx

can ask if you want
i have a question about an early ShB spoiler, would it be fine to put it here in a spoiler tag or should it go in the #archived-lore-spoilers chat instead? i guess the question is more about a mechanic or bug
is it the fog in il mheg
just spoiler it here
yeah okay
with || on each end
(don't open unless in ShB)
||the 2 people you can search for at the very start, i took up both and left yesterday in the middle of one, got back on and alisaie's is gone||
not sure what i'm missing
if you have any msq active then just do what you have, you'll do both zones/questlines anyways
and if you don't have any active then pick up/do the one displayed in the msq tracker ui element thing
rip
Is there a way to check the timer for your house to see how many days you have left before its demolished?
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1EPNI I preview the white-script set with Crab Cake HQ, but the GP is not enough to reach 858 for Diadem. Did I miss something?
yes, iirc. i think it's under /timers
this is going to sound really dumb... but i have no other place to ask...
...
how you change class?
not advancing, like from WHM to samurai
Equip the weapon for that class
Thank you
thank you... why didnt they just create a button based on the job stone to do that 
Because the base classes don't have job stones
Also, make use of gearsets. They make changing easier.
That's why you can make gearsets
besides the game already has a help menu that explains swapping classes by swapping weapon
Hey guys, I'm on the Free Trial at level 26, and I was just wondering when mounts become available?
!faq mounts
'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.
Read top half
Oh thank you @faint flare I didn't realise I could use an FAQ command here. That's really helpful.
Okay so this dood on yt sold a bunch of Zurvanite Carapace Fragment for a lot of gils I'm talking mils(cos 400k on his server) and said it's like 50/50 drop rate. I ran zurvan extreme 10 or more times and haven't seen it drop once
You'd want to use it in #kupo-bot-spam though
Hell his mount dropped twice but not the mat
It's called extreme wack drop rate
He said 50/50 :/
This is also ffxiv
50/50 could mean you get a drop 5 times in a row before going 5 times without
also, we don't know the exact extreme drop rate but
The material definitely isn't 50/50
which healer class has shared lvl with a dps class ? was it scholar/summoner ?
Yes
so if i lvl it , both of the classes retain the lvl at the same time ?
Yes
When you earn exp as one, it will earn "arcanist experience" which applies to both
does this also work when buying the lvl skip to 70 ?
Yes
Although you will need to unlock the other job separately. When you do, it will automatically be the same level.
So you'll have a lv70 summoner but no scholar level at all until you unlock it. And you'll have to do all the scholar job quests
Or vice versa
even if i did it with the lvl skip which usually skips the quests ?
It skips the quests of the job you pick to skip, but not the other
So you'd technically have to buy the skips for both
yeah ok makes sense
ive lvled all melees , ranged and tanks to 80 by hand , i really am not looking forward to it again unless its a new class

For the Relic Reborn quests does it matter what weapon you use as a host for what Gerolt asks you to do?
Host?
SCH/SMN is great as a two for one
Tf are you on about?
Hell ask you to craft a specific weapon and meld it as part of the quest
Ah, it sounded like it was being spoken of in generic terms.
And hell give you an incomplete relic that you need to have equipped for a few parts of the quest
These parts will say so in the quest description
Thanks, that's the clarification I needed.
Do XXX while equipped with incomplete relic
And bring gerolt a XXX with two lv3 XXX materia
Yeah, I got asked for the xxx with two lvl3 materia, I just didn't realize it was in fact a specific item
Considering those usually get capitalized and this wasn't.
sch and smn still have class locked gear , right ?
Yes
Yes, and role locked gear. They don't share gear
Sch is a healer after all
You can reuse books from level 1-30
But you really shouldn't
hmm okay thanks for the info
I mean even if they did it would suck, healers need wisdom, casters need intelligence etc etc
its mostly for glam tbh
ive seen a cosplay of male yuna , but its locked to SMN which saddens me
it looks sooooo good
makes sense tho i guess , since yuna is a summoner after all
can I roll for unique stuff that I have in my glamour chest?
yes
^ so long as it's not in your inventory
Inb4 dokka realises smn uses books not staves in ff14 and weeps
@warm snow im good , dw xD
Have you heard about end walker yet?
This doesn't sound like #questions-and-help
Is the ivalice storyline in NG+?
ty!
Like the bacon bread one
huh?
The sidequests on the prima vista and stuff
ooh
With Not Matsuno
so clear the airship of quests and I'm golden?
Pretty much
ty!

Im getting this error. Im only trying to qbind to my Logitech g600 mouse buttoms. Whats causing this?
https://i.imgur.com/ikXFSW4.jpg
Check under the system tab for those keys that it names
seems like you need to assign keys to these commands
can be any key, just something
probably to prevent ppl without a mouse to not be able to interact with anything
I assigned keys as in choosing g18 for target self
it unassugned these commands in the process
so just go through the list and assign keys to them
it's the 4 first ones in the System tab in keybindings
Okay after some help from you guys I could narrow it down to only getting this error when trying to change binds in "Targetting".
Will see those tips you gave me! THanks alot for the help!
Ah its "Confirm" which are bound to NUM0 causing this issue.
When making a fresh character, can you just story skip + go right to using leve kits to level a crafter alt up to 80?
Or do you also need a battle job leveled?
Technically no in that case but you would if you wanted things from shadowbringers
And didn't want to buy it all
Sorry for another newbie question but "Confirm" and "Cancel" does what exactly ingame?
They're just dedicated yes and no buttons
tbh the time you invest into that you could make even more money on the marketboard
Those are used more by controller players, but as a keyboard player confirm is useful in some situations. It progresses dialog, activates selected buttons on the ui and stuff like that. If you press it while facing something intractable like a switch, it will target it and activate it.
i meant the effort that you have to go into as well
Buy all the stuff off MB, make 750k-1mil profit by clicking buttons while watching a movie
could make you even more money
by getting new alts etc
you can craft potions
with 1 or 2 buttons
with a geared level 80 alchemist
and do the same thing
press 2 buttons over and over while watching a movie
In DR normal, is it considered griefing not to wear essences? I prefer to skip it since it's gonna be lost after the 40m run.
i use it because i want my run to be faster but i would say people who dont use it are griefing no
It's not griefing but you are helping make it a 40+ minute run
the people making it a 40m run are the ones that are dead on the ground for half of it
not the people not using essences imo
i wouldnt say its griefing tbh but you should
but it's duty finder
tbh I'm mostly running DR for artifacts and grinding for the rezt achievement on rdm
You're just not outright hindering in this case
you get essences for free by breathing in bozja
what else are you gonna use them for
Yeah if you don't want to run them then don't but really please do
^
might as well make the run shorter
help, when you buy the game from steam where is the registration key?
if you want a smooth run you gotta organise it, expecting people to play perfectly in duty finder is just setting yourself up for disappointment
I don't go to bozja anymore, and in DR I only get white essences which I need rank 15 to decipher
Especially pures, those are piss easy to get with cluster farns
Right click game > steam keys
If you don't have them you don't have them
If anyone calls you out on it they're just being rude
but they are right, essences are pretty easy to get in bozja
you can get a couple awakenings easily by doing fates in the top third of the map
and they give you skirmishers
maybe check MB too if you're rich
THANK YOU!
the prices are at the lowest around mid week anyway

Im trying to find if there is a no "snapback camera" option
are there weapons you can get directly for tomestones (allegory/revelation) in ShB or do they all need the tokens and some other item? i looked around eulmore but got a little confused
you need another item
you need to do 7 weeks of edens promise eternity
or it drops from 2nd floor of savage
or you can buy with 4 weeks of 2nd floor savage books
I think those would be the auto-adjustment settings in Character config > control settings > General
Buy 10 tokens of rowena via tomes and trade 7 blades from eden for the tomestone
so just buying the crafted 510 or whatever ones on MB is probably better to get started if i have the money
yes
or castrum marium extreme
especially if you're looking to start savage i wouldn't go lower than 510
makes your life and your party members' lives harder
you can also farm resistance weapons (max level is currently 515) but that takes a significant amount of time and effort
grade 4 tincture of whatever
they sell for around 4k a pop on my server
prices and # of sales spike on tuesday evenings due to the weekly reset
Yes perfect. Thanks alot!
if you go to balance discord they have a guide on how to level up and gear your crafters to be able to use their level 80 4 star macros without spending a fortune
these are like 22-30 step macros but it just means you literally press 2 buttons and afk and your craft is done
wouldn't it be highest the evening before the weekly reset?
most people don't plan ahead like that :p
you would think they would and they should
but most of the time raiders just log in 5 min before raid
are like ah crap im outta pots
buys 99 from marketboard
do people make a lot of money from endgame raids?
raiding doesn't give you money
it gives you the best items in the game
what they call best in slot
you can buy it with tomestones
at the same ilvl
but the substats won't be ideal
and you can't even upgrade to 530 until the raid tier is like
months old
BiS is edenmete, correct?
no
its a mix of augmented cryptlurker and edenmorn
edenmete is only ilvl 510
what class do you play?
i have smn, pld, war at 80
ok just as an example i'll find the link to current smn bis
usually theres like 1 or 2 or 3 different sets based on personal preferences
generally you can't even get max ilvl pieces outside of savage raiding for the first few months
unaugmented tomestone gear is always 10 levels below the max
once the new 24 man alliance raid comes out you can exchange weekly tokens from there to upgrade your tomestone gear
you will probably also need tokens from the two other alliance raids in this expansion to get the upgrade token since we're currently on the third and final raid tier of the expansion
is relic gonna be BiS with the next step đ¤
yes
pog
think patch 5.5 is coming out april 13th?
yes
i think there will be multiple steps
before they can transform your 515 piece to 535 :p
i hope the brd relic gets a nicer glow 
at what point can i start farming relic weapons?
When you complete the story of that expansion you can get the relic weapon of that era
Though best do it at 80 to make the grind abit faster due to soloing old content
i am currently in patch 4.4
i think you need to complete the return to ivalice questline too
for the ShB relic, yes
Then you can do Arr, heavensward and stormblood relic if you want
i just wanted to mention that since it's not part of msq afaik
right
just want them for glamour
i think it's the fastest to farm hw relics atm
ahh. i forgot to mention that i wanted dancer relics
Then there's only Shadowbringers
or you can buy old ex trial weapons
or forge some palace of the dead weapons
those are the only glams i can think of that glow
"glow"
that aren't from shb
new jobs are not given old relics
and how's the story related to them?
To what?
the relic questline? or is it just one dungeon?
Lol you fucking wish
Its a long grindy quest line
Relics are always a whole grind quest line
you need to do all the quests from stormblood for the 3 alliance raids called return to ivalice
then you can start relic grind for shb
Arr is definitely the worst, hw aren't too bad just expensive in tomes, no idea about sb and ShB isn't too bad so far
This game is so beatiful
Wait til you hit sb and ShB and they didn't have to work around the ps3
Wait till you get into shadowbringers
Sb was better in the far East
yeah the far east part is gorgeous

ive completed all the regular eden promises' but where do i unlock the savage? i talked to lewrey but he has nothing for me
ahhh
They're not in the regular duty finder
ty
queueing for them isn't going to do much good if you're not on a JP datacenter, use PF to find parties
no yeah, i have a party to run my first e9s today, but started freaking out when i looked in duty finder and didnt see the raids i got so worried lmao
oh yeah
This is #questions-and-help
#video-games-general for discussions on other games
sorry my bad
hi guys im looking for 2 pepole 2 do palace of the dead with a tank and healer would be nice, idk where to ask this so im asking here i guess
ty ty
where exactly is the bank because I haven't seen anything that resembles an obvious bank
Retainers
Aka summoning bells
You need to hire retainers first after passing Scions of the seventh drawn msq quest
there is no bank
When are released the poetics gear (for example, was shire released when SB released?), I'd like to know when ShB poetics gear will be released, to wait until EW instead of farming the gear
you can hold all the gil you have
Retainers are bank
yeah im talking about holding items not gil
Dont spread false info
poetics is used for old expansion gear so when EW comes out ShB tomestone gear that we currently have will be bought with poetics
Retainers hold your items and gil
I managed to transfer to Twintania perfectly fine now
but just with EW release? Or maybe some months later with patches?
only gear, or weapon too?
can you only rent inns to access that or there is player housing
All of it
retainers? They aren't connected to housing
oh they arent?
No
what ff game is black mage from because that the next one ima play
I remember the game mentioning something about retainers when I rented an inn
There's summoning bells in any city
Several, going back to the very first game
what one is the best thats hes in
It's one of the most common jobs
oh yeah that was it, clicked the bell in the inn and it told me stuff about retainers so I thought it was connected
FF9 is probably the most iconic black mage one
With Vivi
Thats how you access them
Yeah innroom simply has a retainer bell, they are also generally everywhere in like, city markets and stuff too
*retainer vocate
what black mage sprite is this from
FFIX
FF1 black mage uses that sprite too
also FFI
(Vivi from FF9 is based on the FF1 black mage art for reference)
that's basically the generic black mage, FF9 used it as a main character
FF9 is a really great game and Vivi is one of my favorite characters in the series, fwiw
yeah thats a bit over my 80k budget
Apartments are cheaper at 500k
gregest everytime i see your pfp i think of villager
Fc rooms are 300k
thought he was talking about an actual bank
They stil are banks
you can hire two for free (well for no additional fee other than your monthly sub)
retainers cost real money past 2?
yes
what do they even do that you would need more than 2
however unless you're a compulsive hoarder or you go all-in on crafting and need the space for mats you are unlikely to need more than 2
oh yeah they hold your items
it's an extra $2 / month on your sub
per retainer past 2
note that you can't be on the free trial
yeah I messed up so im not on free trial so no worries with that
Played a warrior in FFXIV from levels 1-70 back during the storm blood expansion but I quit shortly after hitting 70. I found that I burnt myself out from grinding out those levels as fast as I could. I see a new expansion was announced recently, so Iâm thinking of giving the game another chance now that itâs been a while since Iâve played. I am a big endgame PvE fan (Iâve been in many raiding guilds throughout the lifecycle of World of Warcraft and enjoyed that style of endgame PvE content). I also really enjoy smaller scale PvE content like dungeons. I donât care much for collecting things or doing âcosmeticâ type activities in games, Iâm really just interested in the actual combat, looting, and progression of MMOs. Can anyone share their honest opinion of FFXIV endgame PvE? Is there a lot of content and is it fun/challenging enough to keep me interested for a while? (Edit: while I enjoyed WoW tanking I found FFXIV warrior class very slow and boring - any fun class recs?)
is sprout for a certain playtime or progress in the story or what
168 hrs and finishing stormblood
Both.
168 hours? that seems very specific
Thats 7 days
oh
No its just a common question so I know it instinctively now
168 hours played?
Yes logged in
Keep in mind if you pass 168 and aren't done 4.55 stormblood you'll still be a sprout
The mark of shame!
Thereâs a ton of things to do, from bozja to doing older extremes for mounts to the raids for weekly loot. Take you time and enjoy the game at your pace, thereâs no need to go fast.
Jk, most people are nice to sprouts
because sprouts are willing to learn...most of the tiime
There isn't too too much to do after you finish msq. There are extreme fights that are slightly up from difficulty than normal content, savage versions of normal raids and ultimates
YOU DON'T PAY MY SUB!!!! 1!
related note, does anyone know how long returning player status lasts?
do you eventually get a speedup in every zone by doing quests or some needs to be done on the s ide
you eventually unlock flying in all ARR zones after you beat a certain dungeon
after ARR, you unlock flying in each zone by achieving certain objectives in that zone
and do you go into that certain dungeon during story
futhermore, before you unlock flying, doing main story quests will increase your mount speed
Yes
are all unlocked through story
there's' a second mount speed upgrade, but that's not neccessary anymore
also note that the mount speed increase is specific only to one zone
it's not a general mount speed increase
yeah I know
!faq mountspeed
if i dps queue for a roulette that has a dps exp bonus, and then while i'm in queue it switched to healer/tank bonus, does that affect my queue or will i still get it?
Or was it flying nvm
You'll still get it iirc
Locks im when you que
!faq mounts
'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.
sweet, thank you!
In party finder, what do the different colours mean in the description? I've seen the [Duty Complete] tag in white, blue and yellow. Is there a difference?
"Completion" means they are looking to complete the duty.
"Complete" means they are only accepting players that have previously completed it.
One color is objective, the other is requirement
Actually I might be wrong about the colors
Yea, the color is determined by the objective from what I'm reading. Loot (yellow), Completion (blue), Practice (green), and grey/white if none are set. Duty Complete as a requirement will take whatever the color already is.
ah, that last part makes sense. thanks!
o/ i was wondering how to fullscreen
do i need to finish only 5.0 base story msq to unlock eden raids?
what is the optimal way to use flame seals?
Yes
Ok. So I started tanking. Really enjoy it. I now have my gunbreaker to level 80. I want to level another tank mow aswell. What tank is a good choice out of the remaining three?
Like Flame Grand Company seals?
yes
They can all be good. What kind of play style do you like?
Iâm not really fussed, itâs a split decision between DarkKnight and Paladin
I mainly use mine to buy coke to sell and get mats for Anima relic quest. But you can use it for crafting mats too. I'm not a crafter though so someone else may be better suited to answer your question
you need to finish 5.3 for the final tier though
but yeah 5.0 for the other two tiers
i never craft as well so i guess i can buy some materials and sell them to the MB
If you like simple rotations, DK, especially if you are still learning. Paladin has a more complex rotation
Paladin it is then. I enjoy the difficulty and learning as I go along
I prefer more complex rotations, I find I can learn the game faster. As Iâm still relatively new
You can still learn well enough on Paladin. You may like it better then
Hello! I'm a little đą and I have questions. Where should I go to ask them? Am I in the right place?
Yes
What is Heaven on High and why am I only just learning about it?
Its a multiple floor instanced area to get some exclusive goods and good for leveling classes to 70, especially DPS
Where can I find the dyeable version of the chest piece âNameless Togi (SAM lvl 50 armor)â?
Is it as effective for leveling? The place seems barren compared to PotD. Not as popular??
PotD is still more popular yes. And just as good for leveling
I don't think there is any
But if you haven't finished MSQ yet, still focus on that
Weird. I can't believe I had no idea this was a thing.
You don't
So, my wife, brother-in-law, and his husband all started the free trial đą. We want to play together but we're all not ready to take the plunge into the sub. Could we have one account pay the sub then group up?
You'd want your own separate accounts, as for partying, you could try all being on the free trial and just trying to queue into the same dungeon at the same time or whatever but if you want to actually party up properly just one of you would need to be off the free trial and you can invite the rest to the party
Ok. We already have the separate accounts. Maybe we'll try three sub with one account first.
Another question: If a lvl 20 is grouped with a lvl 1 in a party, will the lvl 20 just one shot all of the early quests or does it balance the level so they can play together?
Outside of instanced content like dungeons, raids, and trials, you would be your own levels and yes, the higher level would nuke everything. In instanced content, level syncs exists to bring everyone down to around the same level
Ok, so there's no reason to party up with brand new players. Thank you for everyone's help.
What is the mount you can get using wolf marks?
cool thank you
np
20k wolf marks by the way
that's np for me, I'm always usually capped on wolf marks
been trying to obtain a squadron recruit from the frontlines challenge log
and I don't know what to spend my wolf marks on
The NPC there also has other things aside the mount https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Storm_Sergeant_(Wolves'_Den_Provisioner)
How big is a party for a dungeon in this game?
ah, that's perfect thanks
4 for normal, 8 for normal raid, 24 for alliance, 48 for savage alliance raid
1 tank 1 healer 2dps?
yes
Cool thanks
in alliance raids it's 1 tank 2 healers 5 dps
and there are 3 parties of that comp in Alliance Raids
We're pretty casual so we are sticking to free trails and dungeons for now, but maybe some day. We all start somewhere đą --> đ´
normal and alliance raids are part of the free trial
you have access to alliance raids in free trial
in fact doing the alliance raid is required to progress through the free trial story
each expac has 3, so you get 6
Wow! This free trail is bonkers
yes, you get ARR plus HW and all the post-HW patches
outside of the main content its still a little limited i think
still a great deal tho
wym
oh
really the only real downside to free trial is the lack of FC access and marketboard restriction
you can be invited to parties
yea but cant make them
alliance raids are casual content just so you know faidren
Are warriors tanks or damage
tanks
Also banned from pvp I guess
are they good
yes
any class is good
Yes
They have no shield tho đŚ
I played SWTOR and raided there, but my wife is obsessed with FF so she's having me ask all these questions. It's her first MMO
you also get access to savage content in the free trial, in the form of the Unbinding Coils of Bahamut
all classes are supposed to do damage, Warrior is just put in with the Tanks
@past dome she can join the discord and ask here
Alexander has savage raids too
oh right forgot about alexander

She should but doesn't know much about discord. She'll learn.
ah
Savage Raids on free trial will probably get you no where
bc no Party Finder i tihnk
you can ask someone to make a PF
Thank you for all your answers.
you can ask someone to make a party and then put up a PF
Its possible, just in a roundabout way
Can you remove the profanity filter on chat?
Anyone know where to find this weeks fashion contest details?
I noticed that my gunbreaker teacher has a quest for me even though I am level 80 gunbreaker. its not a blue quest but just wanted to know if its worth doing
Its a wrap up quest
It gives you some materia and title
Basically catching up with them since job quests were replaced with role quests
Is The Great Hunt EX do-able with 2 80s unsync?
am I missing something here
I think MCH soloed but Tanks make it braindead as fuck
Or does it make you play like it's actually from the game lol
I noticed that marketbord sells better equipment than what the tomes are getting you
It runs about doing whatever it wants
whenever I am item level low I just get the next best thing
Ok cool
tomes are better than marketboard equipment for the same character level
Was looking to do it with a MCH and SCH
Its 520
it's better than crafted period
Vs 510
ahhh ok
and allegory is just to catch up
yes
so should I just spend my gil on the marketboard instead ?
crafted gear
Crafted gear
exarchic gear requires having a fully pentamelded crafted set to craft in HQ
your average player isn't going to be able to craft it
they won't even come close
standard gearing strategy is either buying exarchic OR supplementing with eden 9-12 normal gear, then purchasing your revelation BiS gear first
if you are aiming to do savage then you replace the 510 gear with 530 as you clear bosses
i510 is pretty much the "standard" ilevel
any player can reasonably get a full set of i510 with very little effort
yeah my ilevl is 391 right now
Thats
you're not even in shadowbringers
Really low
thats like stormblood level
At 80 you finish Shadowbringers at 430
491 is very low by today's standards
sorry about that đ
like i was saying, i510 is very very easy to get
if you dont want to do savage then 510 is fine
Thats entry these days
so what should I do ?
if you dont want to do savage then 510 is fine
buy 510 gear on the MB
Eden promise for tokens for 510 gear weekly if you dony want to spend gil
if you want to do savage then make sure youre capping revelation tomes weekly and check your bis via the balance and buy the revelation gear that is your bis
note that, due to substat distribution, the gear from e9-12 may be slightly better than the 510 gear you buy on marketboard
Bear in mind, for a few jobs, there are exceptions where the crafted gear, pentamelded is actually better than tomestone gear. As well, Bozja has Law's Order gear which needs factored in. This goes a bit beyond basic advice, however. Main stat is usually king, but there are exceptions.
doesn't seem like anyone has mentioned it yet but
if you do end up buying exarchic gear from the marketboard
make absolutely sure you're buying HQ
NQ gear is trash and not worth any gil
This. NQ gear after you hit level 50 is for retainers, turnins for leves, glamour, and that's about it. It should never be worn by a player.
There is always a better, cheaper, easier alternative.
can you pentameld revelations gear and edenmorn gear?
no
the only gear you can pentameld is the i510 exarchic
how does pentamelded exarchic compare to revelation gear
also at this point in the game pentamelding really is unnecessary
revelation gear is almost always better due to higher ilevel
even for DoH/DoL gear?
no
thats a different story
we're talking about combat
doh/dol gear is an entirely different setup
if you want to be able to craft exarchic/raid food and pots on your own, pentamelding a full set is required
i pentamelded yesterday, cost me like 4 mil for 2 classes
did you pentameld combat gear or crafter gear lol
crafter
huh really thought id pay more, ill do that maybe
i did get decently lucky, only two melds that cost me more than 25
which set/guide did you use, the diadem one from the balance?
which glamour, if any, resembles, for a lack of better word, cowboy boots?
anemos boots
Gaganaskin Boots
!iglam anemos boots
Same model actually
is anemos boots dyable
yes
sorry was in a middle of a trial
whats a good flow I can follow to better gear myself
it's not that difficult to understand, pepper
do eden 9-12
spend gil buy exarchic
get revelation
that's literally it
exarchic is the impatient way
if you intend on savage raiding, put more emphasis on the revelation part
whats exarchic armor ?
marketboard armor
ah ok
whats does doing eden 9-12 mean ? like getting armor drops ?
weapon
Eden promise
ah yeah I am doing the eden raids
you get chances to roll on armor tokens to turn in for 510 armor
take note that the gear from eden 1-8 is worthless now
it's just for glam or gc seals or desynth at this point
and for catch-up too i guess, if you don't have the ilevel to enter e9-12
still partially worthless even in that case, 11-12 require 510
i dont think they do, i did it lower the first day
you can do 9 at i500
premade parties bypass this
Minimum required ilvl for 9s is 500
i did it solo
But its a lot easier to have the padding
you talking savage?
Pfs are considered premade
no normal
can you unsync The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)
no
lmao we're talking savage here, normal is like
Normal minimum is i480
ultimate raids cant be unsynced
less than i500 requirement
Which is what last tier normal dropped
what is more difficult, the The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate) or the e9-e12s raids
ultimate
ultimate
