uwu is harder
ultimates are the hardest content in the entire game
^
Uwu is longer and you're synced to 70 so fewer tools to work with
ok I need to unlock eden 9
gotta do 1-12 normal to unlock savage 9-12
savage doesnt unlock till you complete the 4 floors for teh tier
so do 1-4 normal, unlock savage, 5-8 normal, unlock savage etc
that being said nobody does savage for the earlier tiers so you can just unlock it and leave it
make sure you've finished 5.3 msq as well
bu tyou still have to go through the story mode starting from 1
my msq progress has stopped after the echos of a fallen star quest. Apparently I need to do the crystal tower quests
yes
yup
Not if they finished ARR before the change
forgive me its been a while since I beat arr
that was several months ago 
And?
Now there's a check at the end of ARR and one before 5.3 for the people that already finished ARR without doing CT when the patch came out
Not everyone plays continuously
doesnt it fore you to do it before HW now?
yes
it wasn't always like this
Yes assuming you weren't done before that
wym
could have gotten all the way to 5.2 without doing it
I did š¤·

like you couldnt fly in arr zones until 5.3, like how did it take that long for the devs to add that
but i digress
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
didnt have riding maps too back then 
yes they did
huh
when did they add flying to all mounts?
when was the mount speed increase again
just a quick question wondering if anyone has found a fix for a problem im having. Discord for whatever reason does not detect ffxiv. it detects the launcher but not the game itself. its been like this for awhile now. done clean installs of both discord and ffxiv and that didnt work.
oof
you can manually add it
like 4.4
when i go to add game it doesnt show up in the drop down box
thats the thing. when i go to the spot that says "not seeing your game? add it!" it doesnt show up in the drop down box they give you to pick the thing. and no search option or whatever
ohwell. not a complete problem. i can do without discord overlay and such
What is the best item to craft for white scripts some of them very expensive to craft and I really need to get some white script
yah i remember being able to find teh executable manually. but i just checked and i can't anymore
its really market dependent kaio
there's a scrip calculator pinned in #doh-dol-lounge
check in there
Thanks
Whats the best way to farm worms in Bozja for awakening frags?
Or is there a better way to get awakening frags besides obviously MB?
where do I obtain the Makai Priestess set?
its a japanese tv series, like a darker version of power rangers
we had a cross over event with them, and the makai sets were part of it
garo was the event
are there any items from the current event I can buy from the event NPC before it ends?
its been ended
oh I meant the Valentione event
am i able to request meld to someone with zero crafters/gatherers leveled?
the stuffed moogle
No
i would assume no
kind of a moot point to request meld from someone who doesn't have crafters leveled to meld
so i need a crafter at a certain level to do so? or how it works :c
you yourself do not need crafters leveled to request a meld from someone with crafters
if you're just doing the assured slots (one's shown on the gear), use the materia melder in any of the cities do it
oo yeah i worded it badly
For request meld specifically you need to request melds from someone who has crafters leveled
yes you can request
the wording of the question was a bit off, nbd
yeah sorry!
do I have to pay more in game when I have purchased it?
besides the e4s reward, what other multi-person mounts are obtainable for free in game?
available currently*
dr savage
clear it you get the mount
are those two the only ones
coulda sworn there was a 2 person mount that's free too
probably remembering wrong
the RAF mounts
whats that one i forget
"free"
yes
what's the difference between urban boots and the rebel boots?
the accents are different colors
How does monetization work in this game? Does $15 a month give you everything or do you have to pay for expansions on top of the sub price?
you have to buy expansions
Ok thanks
which are one time purchases every 2 yrs
Will my GFās computer be able to run FF?
What's the max level right now?
80
!faq benchmark @atomic stump
use the benchmark but I think you'll at least be able to run ff14 on low
Iām on mobile, is there a download link on that for computers?
yeah just google ffxiv benchmark when you get on a pc
Nice
it leads to the download
What is the most noob friendly class? And I mean noob friendly for being new to most games as a whole
I started with arcanist! probably not what was noob friendly. conjurer? I wouldn't quite know
As someone who started as an arcanist, it is not noob friendly lol
all classes are fine
I'd always say Red Mage, as for starting class maybe some healer if you don't mind having that anxiety of being the healer
they all start out slow
except whm
My gf is new to most games beyond Minecraft, and her insurance company is withholding her ADHD meds for some dumb reason, so I donāt want to hit her with anything overwhelming out the gate
Red mage isnāt a base class lmao
Yes which is why I then said what starting class is the most noob friendly
some people have healer anxiety
in that case, probably archer would be the most noob friendly
healer anxiety is gotten over by actually playing healer
^ if you suffer from that archer is a good pick yeah
archer at least until you can get red mage or dancer
or dragoon really
I donāt think she knows enough to have healer anxiety lol
a lot of very new players get it
especially if they haven't played mmorpgs before
suddenly it's their job to keep people alive
ff14 doesn't help in that regard since it's encouraged for tanks to just pull the entire dungeon
you can just tell the tank to not
Yea, Iām gonna have to ask tanks to be gentle lol
as a tank who loves the big pulls memes, I know what to expect
the only way to get over the anxiety is to just do it and realize its really not hard
archer is definitely the easiest to start right away with though
ranged class, no cast times, like 3 button DPS for 50 levels
yeah by the time you hit 70 it's pretty spammy
red mage or dancer remain easy all the way to 80 though
Is monk still rough on the hands?
it never was?
It's just fast
Yea, dancer is my āIām tired of thinkingā class
Rough is subjective
Huh, I always avoided it because people told me it was.
I had to take a break from the game, buy a vertical mouse, because playing this game with my G602 was giving me mad forearm pain
Dancer is fun
great! my next ranged
No thoughts, head empty.
1-2, 1-2
Click glowy boxes
Make friend
Build meter
Click glowy boxes
Actually make friend comes first
Dancer is way more simple than bard
rogue seems okay at low level but goes a bit... hhhhh when it turns into ninja
But it isnāt a starting class
Yea isnāt ninja the most complex class? Or is that still summoner
ninja isnt complex at all
still summoner
ninja is very versatile and fun. Probably the only melee class that can also said to be a caster due to its extensive ninjutsu skills
it's just emmorising the chakras and all that isn't it
is there a way to change damage font color? or easier way to tell when I crit or direct hit
summoner isn't too hard it's just.. long
I'm sure ninja is fun! It's just probably not what you want to put a complete beginner on the road to
no classes are "complex"
ninja is fine for beginners
some classes press buttons faster than others
then it's good?
bard, ninja, machinist happen to be some of the fastest button pressers
No, direct hits are larger than normal, crits have one exclamation mark and direct crits have 3
Does HQ matter when I am only using the item for glamour?
particularly ninja and machinist
no sarp
those are where ping matters a bit right
yes
yes
yes
Good
/dote was on sale for valentines iirc
is /dote no longer on sale?
Because I'm planning to buy Play Dead, Power Ranger Set and Wasshoi emote when they're onsale
@dark copper the sale ended like yesterday
wasshoi just came out
Yeah
doubt there will be a sale on that soon
Summer sale pls
the order you made them?
yeah it's the order of creation
i havent played final fantasy 14 in a while and like 5 days ago i decided to play it again, the problem was that i forgot either my id or password (i cant remember it was like a year since i have played it). I contacted the support but after 3 days no one has responded for me forgetting my id. then about the forgot password process it seems i inputted the wrong birthday (pretty sure it was a misclick) and now i cant go past the page of inputting the password . so if anyone is an employee or just knows what i should do that would be very helpful.
how can I hide party frame mana bars?
you cannot
reduce the size?
There aren't any SE staff here (that we know of). Did you try the Forgot ID link on the mogstation login page?
you cannot
yea i did do that and it brought me to the square enix support page where i clicked on additional assistance and i inputted my info and they havent responded. Do they even have someone on support considering the game is getting up there in age.
just wait
Yes, it's an ongoing, online service game with a new expansion in the works. They haven't abandoned it.
oh ok i might just wait for like a week
just checking though they respond on email right?
I believe they are planning even post-6.0 content, even though 6.0 will officially conclude the Hydaelyn-Zodiark arc. They will addressing other threats in future expacs beyond 6.0.
IIRC, Yoshi P (the game director) has said he will be working on this game for the forseeable future
If you followed the instructions on the support site, then they should.
k thanks

I haven't had that exact problem, but in the past I've filled out support forms on their support site and got a response by email after a few days
How are people leveling alt jobs from 71~80? Aside from your standard roulette, beast, dungeon and stuff? Bozja?
yes
Bozja is an option, yes
Crystarium initially
Is there gonna be another patch with content or just the expansion coming out
Morq Sudd after that
I actually haven't progressed in bozja besides unlocking/getting first tier of the relic so I'm not sure how it works exactly. Just killing mobs/skirmishes and engagements for leveling? Will I also be able to get the memories while leveling the alt job for my main job relic weapon?
there will be 5.5 coming out very soon in April
5.5 on april 13th or so
okay thank you, you know who at crystarium?
even patches was increase in ilvl, what about uneven ?
no new raid teir so no increase directly
no that's the last gear tier upgrade in 5.4, 5.5 is just catchup stuff gear wise
easier access to higher ilvl stuff and eventually more tomes per week cap, easy upgrade items for tome gear and last relic step
I think it's a guard there somewhere? Just look for a blue quest on your map when you're there.
I don't know about the memories, but for leveling my understanding is just do stuff like if you were trying to rank up. CEs and you can do CLL as well.
people in this chat have an insane memory.
we gotta, theres a lot of info in this game
I had to look it up actually. I remembered it started in Crystarium and involves ||Ryne||, but couldn't remember who actually starts it
gotcha
how do i make a ffxiv account
I'm trying to do the free trial
and it wants me to do a one time password
one time pass is optional
and apparnetly to have a one time password I need to buy the game
How do I get rid of this ishgardian restoration note on the side? Itās not in any of my quests and itās annoying to see...I went to the firmanent and I donāt see any option to talk to anyone there to get rid of it
you can ignore the one time password
You dont
it's an optional additional account security feature...sorta like 2 factor auth which they also have optional
You donāt? So itās gonna be there forever?
Only while you're in ishgard
It will probably be removed permanently some time in the future
It will most likely disappear when they finalize the firmament state
It's tied to the restoration so yes
Eventually, most likely. It's still current content so there will still be updates.
pretty sure they're done with the restoration, but Spriggan ended only like 2days ago or whatever, so they wouldn't remove the event thing from just a few servers and not other. I expect the message will be gone by 5.55, maybe 5.5 if they can fit it in at that point
Its generally recommended to not use macros for combat, except for a few small exceptions
what is the fastest void ark raid to farm?
Void Ark
oop LOL thank you
anyone here still on 30 days free?
what to spend on my poeitcs
!faq poetics
thank you
How should red mage and summoner dps compare in a raid ?
not much difference if youre talking about optimal play
summoner has freer movement but more to do, RDM has a melee and ranged phases
And can kill themselves in a stylish fashion
How many "Penny flames" Do I need to complete the pyros weapon?
Cool, thanks
whats a good ping to have for double weaving?
whatās the point in getting BiS if the next raid tierās crafted gear will be better?
parsing?
Parsing, flexing, BiS gets you into the first two fights of the next tier
easier reclears
Also, BiS won't matter since next tier is a new expansion, yeet

Rianne is not an event related npc vendor is she
Can you send a screenshot
No, just a regular vendor
she is the one in Uld'ah that sells Best Man's Jacket
then yeah they're not
and Bridesmaid dress
Uldah has a lot of named vendors
So for the bonding ceremony, if I picked the dress glamour, is there a way to obtain the suit glamour?
you trade the dress in at the calamity salvager
how is the gown of light set called on mogstation?
is it possible to be underleveled for mainquests
modish minfillia iirc? or smth @tidal yarrow
Minfilia's Modish Attire
yes it's possible, and very common as you get later in levels with bigger gaps between MSQ
just do roulettes, dungeons, or fates in between
after the 46-49 jump you'll have more than enough to be overleveled, assuming you only play 1 class
do you mean undergeared?
because by default the game requires you to be at minimum the same level as your msq level
yes, if you switch to another class
oh, seems like im almost there then
Hello, I use HUD 1 for melee classes and HUD 2 for ranged/caster classes. Can i make a macro for it to change to the preferred HUD when i switch class? If yes, could you please give me an example. Thanks!
If you're just barely keeping up you'll probably be under levelled
well I was overleveled until now and now the main quests caught up
/gs change 2
/hudlayout 2
Gearset change command and hudlayout change command
thank you very much!
Hey guys im lvl 23 and my inventory full, what should I do? Discard/sell some items or is there a better way to store it?
Both
Potions and what not you can just sell to NPC for gils
To store items, you can hired retainers
!faq retainers
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (UlāDahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
are you making use of your companion saddlebag?
if you have a sub you can hire retainers and put items in your retainer inventory, and use your retainers to sell items
Whats a saddlebag?
Is Bozja another big Gil Sink like Eureka was? (It cost me about 1.3-1.4 mil gil to do all of eureka comfortably, split between making a Kirin Osode from the Marketboard, the Potions of Harmony for increased elemental EXP, and the logograms, which is probably the most expensive part of eureka).
Extra storage
Only if you buy fragments
They're easy enough to farm
There's no kirin osode copy to buy
Bozja has Lost Actions, right?
Yes
Which are basically Logos Actions
Also, what is Diadem? Is it basically Eureka for DoH people?
And I'm guessing you can make quite a bit of Gil from Bozja, like in Eureka?
not as much as eureka
Like the mount, emotes
Eureka is a gold mine tbh
If you're lucky and get the hair or mount from Delerum thats 20mil
Im guessing Eureka is a gold mine because people dont have the mental sanity to brave Pagos to get to the rare items in Pyros and Hydatos.
(most people, anyway)
Basically, low supply but demand for mounts and emotes
After I get 50 logos actions, is there anything I need to make my Elem Armor?
I kinda deleted my Pyros crystals cause I thought they weren't used for anything anymore
oof
Eh thats fine
If I get one of those 3 rare items that enhance the magia board I should probably just sell it, eh?
Probably, may take time to sell
is there a dps meter in ffxiv?
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
This
Oh do I have to redo all the binds for every new char I make? :S
Yeah, maybe. Some people (reasonable and sane people) wait until after MSQ to do Eureka, so they're overflowing with Gil, so they can afford all the luxury Eureka stuff.
you can copy your settings in the game files
documents > my games > ff14 > find the character files you want to copy
how do I unlock level 80 white scrip gatherer gear? scrip exchangers only show level 70 options
oh so i have to finish 5.0 and beyond?
Cant find any char files.
@clever ether theyre in the CHR folders
tyvm
it provides an extra 70 free storage slots
Do Bozja Fates and CE have spawn triggers like Eureka? If so are there any resources available?
CEs and their respective Skirmish spawns by killing magitek in the zone
Other fates just spawn repeatedly with no input

Does the realm/server matter? I have been forced to pick 3 different for my 3 chars I created now as they are greyed out (full I assume).
No
Only data centre choice does
Everything is cross server within the data centre
Outside of guilds
Ah cool. So I can trade between alts etc from different realms
Whats an FC?
Guilds
You can world visit other serverd on the data centre
We don't use guilds since Guilds in this game are where you go to pick up new classes and/or jobs
Oh okay, people keep asking If I wanna join theirs
Free company / Clan / Guild the same?
Yes
To unlock PoTD level 50 permanently, do I have to do it without getting KO'd?
Not if your party wipes IRC, my party wiped on 40 boss because of stacked stun without healer and we had to restart
It wouldnt let us load that save anymore
Is there a way to invite your alt char into your FC?
Get someone with invite permissions to do iy
Mhmm ok thx
how many people should i have in a PT for unsync a9s for anima weapon charges?
like 4
ooof
more for faster runs ofc
hey guys, a friend told me that BiS gear gets replaced super often in this game, so is gear hunt still a main aspect of the game or is the endgame focused on something else?
do we have anything for posting a LFG for it hykish?
or does anyone even run it anymore rlly
@leaden ginkgo so basically i have nothing to worry about? pretty much all i want to do is raid and upgrade gear lol
the BiS lasts for a few months iirc
sounds great then š
endgame is what you make it to be tbh, housing/glamour, getting other jobs to max, making gil etc etc
some drop mounts too
yeah i imagine, only raids ive done so far are the crystal tower ones that are mandatory, im about to finish shb rn
well, thanks a lot for the info, it has alleviated my worries, looking forward to the grind
if you like the grind you're gonna love it
i'm all grind š
not only raiding for endgame gear, but some of the hardest content gets you very nice glam, like the Ultimate trials
very nice
O.o
It's from the Ultimate version of the Ultima Weapon
lol
ultimate weapon ultimate
Oh, I thought it was some RP related thing
UWU, TEA and UCOB are the ultimates
TEA?
the epic of alexander
Why wonāt it let me download it
do you already own it on ps4
well your ps4 is linked to your mog station account
My entire ps4?? How do multiple people play then
your psn account is linked to mog station
that would be my guess why you cant download it
So how do I have him free trial
How are people getting that floating emote?
download it on his own computer
@gilded forge emote that comes with the omega statue
Thanks
But he refuses to play on PC
@lime jewel if you find an fc that does activities with big groups of people
F
Is there a better strategy for behemoth CE?
Does anyone know if there's like, a community document of class transformation macros?
I keep getting killed by tanks that block one resurrected behemoth
Can multiple people log into one instance of the ps4 ver
Cause then I could make him a free trial acc and log in from my copy
Just the boss visually obscuring a behemoth
no
F
probably would need to change the main psn account on your ps4 since you can have only 1 psn account as main on a ps4
So I set it to his acc being the main one

which substats should i pick for MCH? having 100 more crit but loses 300DH and 200DET or the other way around
based off what gear
aren't sure to 100% could also be that you can't have the full game and demo/trial installed at the same time
crit > dh/det
Highest ilvl gear
^
Weapon damage >>> main stats > substats
With equal ilvl gear, follow stat priorities of crit > dh => det
is the question
MCH always wants more crit
crit > dh/det
i figured but i was just wondering cause
300 DH seems like alot
losing for 100 crit
Crit increases rate AND damage
its more like crit>>>>>>dh/det
Dh just increases rate
Plus mch loses a small bit of DH value due to reassemble
More crit buffs reassemble
More dh doesn't
will keep that in mind thanks
maybe weird question considering this is official mogstation site but does everyone fill out all their real info for this? i find it really weird to put all this in just to submit a general support ticket for help esp when theres no transaction involved
i mean it depends what you're filling it out for i guess? if its an account recovery they match it to your account info id assume
but generally yea id fill it out with whatever you put on your account when you made it so it matches
its just to ask about the stupid i2501 error thing for mogstation
is it lag that causes me to die even after i cast my invuln as a tank?
which tank? as gnb it reduces your hp first and a sec later you get your invuln so it can happen if you are unlucky that you die
invuln may not go into effect right away
paladin
Does anyone know if there's like, a community document of class transformation macros?
they all look sick, but most of them don't have the macros shown
Can anyone tel me how to get the coeurl pup mount?
the mount? thats from the collectors edition of ARR which you can upgrade to on the mog station for like 10$ or something
I see
there is also a Battle Panther mount that uses almost the same model, but is black and red. You get that from a tank achievement
Hallowed has a small delay before it actually invulns you, like benediction, you're invulning too late if you die after pressing it
wait... what if i entered a different bdate from my real bday?
is the second part of the Nier raid weekly locked atm?
what am i supposed to enter in here lol
no @signal aspen
they didnt ask for any of this other info when registering an account
is new crafting gear coming in 5.5?
no
510 will be upgradable to 520 however
i thought so some poeple told me there was new gear coming out and i was shjocked
they're wrong then
There's only the 24man gear coming
And upgrades to Exarchic
And the diamond weapon
i was trying to find any info on it but tehre nothing so i asked here ty!
Its all part of the forumla
If you entered a fake birthday when you created the account, and don't remember what it was, there is a possibility that you are mega-screwed. That is something they use for verification
if we get any new crafted gear, it'll most likely be glamour items
they swore on it and i told them taht in sb we didnt get anymore crafting gear
in 4.5
i know my birthday but they asked me to enter other info like name / address
if everything aligns but my birthday what does that mean lol
did anyone else here not use real bdate when making sqenix account ?
diamond weapon will be 525 right?
I use fake answers to security Q&A but not birthdate, ever
Yes
My anxiety was climbing
how much can using a random bdate screw me over if i at least remember the bdate?
wait Diamond will be worse than aug crypt?
Yes
Extremes are catch ups/stopgaps
Augmented tome (or savage weapons for raider) are always better until Relic is fully done
also is Diamond the confirmed name? i dont remember
Its diamond weapon, zone is like Camp Cloudtop or whatever
It was in the live lettee
Could I possibly convince any tanks/healers to join me to queue for howling eye/striking tree extreme? I'm trying to knock some blue quests out of my log and the queue's are 30m+
Cloud Deck
Party finder and unsync them
is the name for Diamond Weapon's arena
No sane person ques for extremes
What do you mean Vinyl? (Sorry, I'm fairly new to the game. Just completed HW for the first time.)
so is that the case for all savage weapons? was e4sā weap the best since its release til e8s?
So lv80s murder it in 20s
Yes
i see. Thanks
Ummm, how do I do that?
party > party finder
select the duty from the drop down
put "first time bonus" in the description
open duty finder
click the cog at the top
click "undersized party"
wait for people to join then queue normally
and tick undersized party in the PF too
are you in a FC? Might be faster to ask there

what if i enter legit info for everything except the fake bday i used? didnt realize bday was this important in this game lol
Better remember it then
is it fine as long as i remember it?
You need to enter the right date
can they check since i have the real info for everything else in that field besides the bday
most of the time yes but in this case in particular, the ultimate weapons for tea actually were released between e4s and e8s and was SLIGHTLY better than e4s (just one extra materia slot)
like is having a fake bday fine as long as i remember it or can it come back to bite me in the ass even if i dont forget it?
So you guys think one level 80 and I can just queue it and they'll shred it?
ive had multiple friends run into this issue and lose accounts
1 Lv80 murders it in 22s
better safe than sorry
i meant as long as i have it remembered / written down and dont lose it, can it still bite me?
wait seriously? tea weapons only have that over e4s weapons? An extra materia slot?
yes, it is mostly a glam/prestige thing
Only if you forget it...if you lose your account then you'll need to remember what you put
You just need to make sure it matches.
yeah its just cuz in that field they have me enter in other stuff like real name / street address etc
so it feels awkward to put in a fake bdate next to those
and wonder if they can check it somehow or something
They cant
I don't think they will run a background check on you. š
i dont deny the prestige and the glam but that is a surprise/ shock in a not epic way >.>
Get a password manager, put everything in there so that if you forget you can retrieve it.
i've only heard of video game registrations requiring real irl info in asian countries
plenty of western game accounts require a birthday for verification
i think it's yoshi-p's way of trying to be more inclusive to the community since a very small % of people complete ultimates
yeah i just meant they're not going to check with government authorities
in a lot of asian countries you need to have a valid social security number or their local equivalent to register certain gaming accounts
fml didnt think bday was so important in sqenix
thats usually stuff you can change in other stuff
all that matters is that you put down something you're going to remember
Itās for getting your account back if something happens.
What class should I use for soloing Skalla? I was thinking GNB but I dunno this stuff
because its one of the methods used to verify you are the owner of the account if something goes wrong
i used a bday of my anime waifu
can you change your birthday after you've registered?
i used a random day and now i'm paranoidi that i will forget my password/lose access to my account
you cant afaik
nope unless you show government id or something... lmao
or you would have to contact support to
You can, but you have to know what the fake birthdate is
I didn't think I would be playing FFXIV for that long tbh. I thought w/e free trial I'll play it for a week and quit
Now I'm 5 months deep
relatable
But yeah probably wouldn't have hurt to put some forethought into your account details, you can try open a support ticket to update it
Question for you all. I'm doing the ARR Relic Quest Chain and I'm at the part where I go to get books to do the quest they give. All I have left are three dungeons but every time I do one it doesn't confirm mark. Only one of them is hard the other two are on Normal Difficulty.
do a lot of people here use fake bdates for their account?
i dont wanna feel like the only idiot
i'm not sure that's a relevant question for a q&a channel 
I do honestly
think people are here to answer questions, not judge you for them
I've never used my real birthday to sign for a non-work/errand related account
For the birthday question I just do my own birthday because I already took time thinking up a name and which of the 12 I want for that character and that is literally as far as any RP I do goes.
Can mentor roulette send people for Coil?
Coil is excluded from all roulettes
It's easy enough to sync with a lv80 character at present
Story is enjoyable but the voice acting can be painful, especially if you've come back post shadowbringers
We're doing it SYNC
is there a way to track the activity of who feeds chocobos via FC menu, kinda like the literal activity menu but maybe something longer than a couple dozen of them?
Do the twins have different VAs in ARR v Shb?
yes
Yes cause their VA changed in HW
VAs were changed in HW except the HW characters
At present we have alphinaud and alisaie
Dumb question possibly but you had your weapon equipped? Itās been forever since I did that chain.
they shared one VA?
I don't think so, but I honestly couldn't tell them apart
Darn, well I hope theyāre easy dungeons.
one is buoyant, the other one isn't
does the level 70 scrip set get doL retainers to breakpoint for max yields?
i mean 80
then definitely no
so how about the level 80 scrip set?
yes
any melding required for breakpoint?
If you're doing your weekly custom deliveries you'll be able to buy a full set pretty fast
Not with the scrip gear iirc
Explorer Mode doesn't have everlasting light?
!faq retainerbp
what's the most efficient way to reach the ilevel 428 on your retainer in addition to using scaevan gear
job gear
Yes full landsaints (w/o accessories) is more than enough to hit the 80 breakpoints
you end up with 2404
Especially since you can just go get a second set for free if yours eh-hem disappears from your inventory
you can save some scrips by the by
and not bother with buying helm/belt
as they dont have gathering stats
You dont need revelation is every slot
use exarchic for alt jobs until you get the BiS pieces from tomes or savage
If you have Exarchic then you're bare minimum for savage
i've been gearing since week 1 of this tier and i've only managed 2.5 classes of best in slot
So just filter in savage drops and revelation
Plus the locks get lifted eventually
you'll get there eventually
as the tier goes on, it'll get easier
The lock gets doubled close to the end of the expansion
And savage restrictions removed
once the weekly restrictions are unlocked you should have an easy time
especially since savage is now being unlocked before the new tier
And again, revelation isn't needed for every slot
Some BiS lists only use a few pieces
Which drastically cuts down how many that job needs
It just becomes the easy way to do it once the new expansion comes because of poetics
on average you need 4 weeks of revelation for 1 class (for bis)
I was finished with tomes like week 3 or 4
differs with every class but yeah the average is around 4
Much more
Than 2k
For full revelation
Chest and legs are 825
So thata 1650 straight up
495 for head/arms/feet, 825 for chest and legs, 375 for one of everything else (belt + accessories)
5k actually
unless you're not planning to do savage
not including the 1k for weapon
then tomestones are the only way to get the highest possible ilvl in the game so far
and you can't even reach the same ilvl as savage gear
until new 24 man alliance comes out
yes
it all depends entirely on the substats
it depends on the class
Depending on substat spread
BiS is always a mix of Savage gear and Augmented tomestone
because, barring the weapon, they are same ilvl
there are lists of bis for each class on balance discord
!faq Balance
so difference lies in what substats each piece has
All there
balance discord might be overwhelming at first if you're new to end game
just take it slow
Are there any recaps of Stormblood and Shadowbringers online? I kinda wanna skip through the MSQ to get to endgame content to play with my friends
I enjoy the story though -_-
no reason why your friends cant play with you
yes
the 8 man raids are tied to the story
so if you do them you would be spoiling yourself
anyone know the difference between material supplier, material supplier a-2 and a-3 aside from appearance?
Just appearance
Only appearance
ty
bookmarked, thanks!
which instance
hide names please
firstly have to ask what your gear is
@little swift Why should I hide names when the person was a fucking asshole to me?
because we have a no witch hunting rule
Witch hunting

because people are being shown in a negative light
witch hunting is not permitted
i know you're heated
but be reasonable
so now that we have a gauge for what happened
what instance was that? and what gear were you wearing?
Lemme censor out names right quick
am i able to feed FC members' chocobos?
if they're maxed, it shows this
https://i.imgur.com/OcdyWqX.png
but even if they aren't
i just get
its fine to proceed
though the first displays after clicking train while the second occurs after selecting a food
i think they just need to feed it a thavnairian onion at some point
you pretty much only feed for exp
and they have to take it out and give it an onion to raise its max rank
or they need to take it out and kill something
that too
nah, it's at partial xp
the ones displaying the second error are at least
like
this one displayed the second error when i tried
the second one is just saying that you're not going to contribute to its favorite feed
that's all
the second one isn't an error message
ah, alrighty then

is there a better way to train them in bulk than doing it individually?
newp
rip
if only the cutscene was easier to handle than having to wait for it to load so you can skip
Ok, so who was in the wrong here?:
you can tick an option in character cofnig
to skip those cutscenes
Hydatos
What gear
That guy was a dick
The accessories are poor
Especially with scaevan so readily available and the amount od tomes eureka give
still kind of sad gear for lvl 70
^
Is there anyway I can report this jackass to a GM?
you can but i doubt anything will happen here since he didn't use any slurs or reportable language
You can through support desk
But looking this from an outside perspective you weren't civil either
Offering the i am a sprout excuse isn't really valid
Am I going to be reported to a GM for this?
It looks as though you took a comment too seriously and lashed back out
No
even if you will i don't think anything will be done to punish you
Unlikely you'll be reported
I called him an asshole, but he deserved that
i think what people are trying to say is that it's probably not the answer you were looking for but perhaps in the future to avoid unsavoury encounters you should just gear up since it doesn't require a lot of effort
does this mean the pre-orders are sold out D:
never pre-ordered anything before so idk if it's just signing up for the waiting list or whatever..
Why are people in Eureka incredibly rude more often than not?
@nova umbra yes that means theyre out
aw, unfortunate ;-;
my guess would be that it is somewhat considered end game content so people expect you to do the bare minimum, regardless of whether you're a sprout or not
idk about you but most people in Eureka are very very nice and patient... from my experience
people travel the entire map to res you, they wait minutes for people to gather before starting fates, etc.
On the duty finder screen what are the numbers in the box next to the level numbers?
the amount of party finders available for that duty currently
Thank you!
if you click on the numbers you can view parties currently recruiting for that duty in party finder
although for roulettes it might mostly be sale adverts
Thank you! Good to know
Really such a pain to be put into parties in these low level dungeon missions
On the free trial and I keep hitting these speed bumps
First tam Tara now copperbell
once you've done your first daily roulette it might be worthwhile to only run the dungeon that is the highest one you can do for your level
you get a lot more experience that way
Iām going through the msq
oh i see
so, i've just started the next relic step on my Dark Knight, and i need Haunting and Vexatious memories of the Dying, i'm wondering if we know what the drop rates for these are if i decide to fate grind for them instead of doing the Alliance Raids
personally it took me 3.5 hours for all of them (by non-stop fate grinding)
if you're very lucky it will take 2 hours
and if you're very unlucky it will take upwards of 4.5 hours
personally would just queue for the raids (void ark and rabanastre being the fastest choices) while doing fates between
my drop rate was approximately one in every 3 or 4 fates, but obviously there's rng involved and i don't want to give you false expectations
^this
1 per
one
1 guaranteed
oof
1 guaranteed
right
thankfully you dont have to repeat that step for subsequent weapons
oh?
it is a one off quest
only need to do it once yeah
Its a story quest for the weapons
oh thank the gods
Not a repeatable step
Which Custom Delivery has Disciple of the Hand bonuses today?
you just need to do it once to unlock the final step to upgrade each of your weapons
you can click on each of them and see which one says "BONUS"
ctrl+u, custom deliveries
Oh woah. I had no idea that was a menu
What is the best way to handle flame/toxicity in this game and try to descalate?
don't interact, just use the support desk
eveerything you say can be used against you, but the same applies for everyone else
Yellow quests are just for lore
@faint flare ah i see so it s fun
Did they change SMN in the late 5.x? I heard it's better now?
If it doesnāt say unique on it then yes
I remember back in 3.x SMN is being rained on
Summoner hasn't been changed since 5.1 to put egi assaults on global cooldown
Or whenever that was
5.01 or something like that
And tri disaster nerfs
before or during the first raid tier lockouts
So now where does SMN sits in general popularity?
it exists
like all jobs do
the populations between jobs is pretty balanced, outside of job fantasy ones like Samurai and Red Mage
unless you mean raiding wise in which case
yeah
even in raiding smn is pretty popular
versatile job with good dps and utility
summoner has 45k parses, take that as you will
!faq fflogsdps
raid dps and adjusted dps
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
No
Make my numbers go brrr
mileage may vary 
what code
?
both give gil
Don't know. I started at 2.0 xD
i see
does no-helios horoscope really heal as much as medica 2? assuming same stats on both healers
mog station gift codes
Raw Horoscopes are only 100 potency
I wonder people skip MSQ... would they get confused who are some of the character near the end of the 5.0? =S
Or 200 idk id they buffed it
My friend gifted it me so
But shits low
There is new game plus anyway right?
Ya
cant ignore the regen from medica 2 either
Highly recommended at least play Game+ for the story
i mean you would be spoiled if you played shb before ng+
no it doesnt, not even buffed
right that unlocks later ;/
medica 2 is 700 potency per person
Guess I can just watch a recap or something
700?
regen
base + regen
non helios horiscope is 200
buffed is 400
medica 2 is still stronger either way
Where can I get Scaeven Gear so I dont get flamed for being undergeared for level 70 content?
Rhalgars
rhalgrs reach
rhaelgars reach
Rhalgrs or kugane
Thank you
Or kugane
or kugane
kugane is my go to since the vendor is right next to the aetheryte crystal
and it is usually cheaper to get to than rhalgr's
Does medica 2ās regen heal immediately after casting or is there a 3s(?) delay?
Depends
the regen is over time
