oh you mean actual in game guilds
they can be made with random people or by people who know each other
They're made with whoever. Random friends, random people, random invitees,
nvm me
can i join FC of other worlds?
no
your FC 'slot' is taken up by the <Wanderer> status when you world visit
no matter it's state
@oblique yew guilds/FC in games is basically like belonging to a group of like minded friends that hang out together, chat and enjoy the games content
idk why, but in my 275hrs of playtime i have hardly seen these FC recruitments
Japan is... very different when it comes to these sorts of things
They spam it in Limsa once in a while
We're talking from a mostly NA perspective
Lol do yoy speak japanese??
LOL that sounds challenging
Depends on how your internet is routed because I thought the same thing but nope
i tried to check the cmd method of checking ping for the 3 datacenters
but they just keep giving request time out
!faq ping
!faq checkping
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Why the ff14 dx11.exe file getting detected as a virus....first time this happened to me ever lol
did you let it through your firewall
I never had to before but I guess I’ll do that
welp, now you know
you're basically just south of europe lol
there's no datacenter transfer of characters right?
its just home world transfer
there is
so i have a friend who just started and has less free time to play than i do. we ran sastasha together today for the first time, it was great. now she's a 21 CNJ. I want to be able to keep playing with her as she levels and advances msq. obviously for dungeons i can just bring a higher level job and get scaled down, but what about when she's just doing stuff in the world? at first i thought i would just keep up with her on a new job of my own, but she levels much much faster than i do and i have to constantly try to catch up on my own time. is there an easier or better solution that i'm missing?
You gotta pay real cash
18 dollars, and you can't transfer to congested servers
MSQ just gives you a boatload of EXP, and road to 70 might also be affecting rates
That worked ty
just play on the higher level job?
and one-shot everything?
I mean, most of what happens in the overworld is set to be character only, Solo Instance, or dungeons
I think, anyways.
the MSQ is mostly solo outside of dungeons anyways
so many blues quests at lvl50 to do ahhhhhhhhhhh
At least your up early starting the grind, 🙂
hey guys, so I just finished the 9 books for ARR relic, but where do i get the next step? i still have the last book in inventory also
what chest is this housing item?
talk to jalzahn, and select the atma enhanced option @crimson gale
looks like flame storage bench @leaden ginkgo
thank you!
So I've unlocked Dragoon now, is there any reason to stay in Lancer?
no

@leaden ginkgo the quest "precious reclamation" in the doman enclave
Awesome thanks~~
a private chat
is it ok to accept?
@twilit arch Do you know what the bench is will all the little pieces in the bottom left hand corner of the housing image that Jonathan sent?
looks like a woodworking bench clipped thru something else
but not sure what its clipped thru
probably a blank partition dyed black if i had to guess
Does Anyone know how to get the Elemental Armor of Fending as well as the Deep Gold Wings of Fending?
elemental armour requires you to do eureka
deepgold is from merchant in il mheg
deep gold wings of fending are crafted item, and can be bought from vendors in il mheg
garland tools
Like can we be best friends? : ooo
F
what's the longest you've had to wait for a data center transfer? can I still play my character while I wait?
usually takes a few minutes and no
I have to wait 90 days wtf
Because you started on a preferred world
The wait is 90 days so you can’t abuse the EXP buff
rip
there should be an option to relinquish your buff if you want to transfer from a preferred world lol
if that's the only reason
I'm in the Bozjan front, went to the area for Third Time's the Charm, and I just get hit for 35% of my health by one of the mobs there
How am I supposed to do this quest?
Am I supposed to sneak around to avoid aggro?
yes
like, walk(unverified personally if this works but ive heard this from a few people) or use lost stealth
Guessing Ninja hide doesn't work?
not sure, i dont have ninja levelled
ok
It's up here
then you can either walk or wait for day time
because those mobs only spawn at night
Oh okay, thanks
I'll just walk in there then
I didn't even have walk bind to any key lol
Always thought it was just for RP purposes
doesn't happen very often but there are mobs that aggro based on sound
so walking near them means you're less likely to aggro them
This is probably going to sound stupid but do you have to do a euerka relic to do BA at all
Does buying shadowbringers provide any huge exp bonuses when leveling your first character?
what is this palace of the dead?
buying the game does not provide any exp bonuses
where can i get good staffs for thm around level 35?
thanks @little swift
palace of the dead is a roguelite dungeon crawler that is used as an alternate means to level dps jobs but also as a challenge for some people
keep playing msq and use what you can get
leveling dungeons give you a piece of gear that is suitable for your role when you complete it so you could theoretically do the lv34 dungeon for a piece of gear

Hello, how do I get my GNB relic weapon?
Complete the stormblood alliance raid storyline and then start the quest “hail to the queen” in Kugane
You don't need to per se, but the other steps you need to do to get there will complete much of it anyway
Like the best way to level, which you need to do to get to the cap to do ba, is also the best way to generate relic progress
Im lv 29 paogs quest havent started any relic stuff yet
You probably have a bunch of the currency that relics need
Unless you've been strictly doing the challenge log to level
Yeah pretty much
For MCH is the goal to use Gauss rounds as much as possible or not to ever cap either Gauss and Ricochet?
Ah, well if you're doing it that way I guess you wouldn't
Or I can just get to the very end and then work on a relic
But yeah, it's not necessary at all to do BA
I just want ozma
If anything I'd recommend buying the Eureka chest from mb if you've got Gil
Makes the entire leveling process a bit less painful
What's it called
the Vermillion Cloak?
He trades Vermillion cloak and kirins osode
Buy the material you need to trade from mb
Based on your class
You can also buy them directly but that's usually much more expensive for reasons I don't completely understand
Remind me when the tsukiyomi glamour came out
The materials are way more expensive than just buying the weapon
There's a ring and belt you can get on market but they're horribly expensive and absolutely negligible compared to the body
Search Cassie and speed belt if you're curious
Earring, not ring. But yeah they tend to be extremely expensive.
A leg would be nice for matching glam
Oh right.
hey guys, back again with ARR relic lol, so i completed the sword scroll with the 53 nfused materia, now i need another one for the sword? or just one more for the shield? then do same step as sword scroll and give them in?
Yes the shield has its own scroll
yeah but i only need 1 completed scroll for the weapon?
You need both to upgrade it to the next step

Even though I’m in England and my PS4 is set to UK region, my in-game region is coming up defaulted as J with a forced move to E by me. Does anyone know what triggers the region to set in game?
nah some are dropped from dungeons
does anyone have a checklist for anima weapon?
!faq anima
I have one in Chinese
Continue on the road to that isolated tree in the background
That one with green-white leaves by the map
how full does this need to be?
Completely I think
I heard that you no longer have to run 15 Crystal Towers etc for the 515 weapon?
how do i know how full it is
All 10 runes glowing brightly
The text will also basically say it’s complete/full
Brayflox longstop hard mode
Oh yeah you can do castrum lacus litore instead, much faster
Get 5 per run instead of Crystal Towers 1
The only one-time step for the newest steps of the relic weapon is the 18 HW/SB 24-mans or SB fates
so how many brayflox hard modes will i have to do?
Alright, will do once I unlock it
I never kept track of the exact amount but it’ll take a few hours depending on bonus windows
it's the res. rank 10 24 man right?
Giant Beaver Burger Set
Yeah its a lot I rotated between brayflox and Manor so I wouldnt get so bored
so would it be faster to do crystal tower?
Maybe, depends on queue time
Fastest group method is doing A9S (Eyes of the Creator - Savage) undersized
That only takes an hour or two depending on bonus
If you have a dps I would recommend, can clear even faster but its still done fast with tanks
Oh wait no you needa be the class that you're weapons for nvm
you could also talk to the lift attendant over ther
You need to go take the plane to Limsa
Is it better to do Doman or ishgardian restoration?
ishgard pre 70
doman after 70
I’m 80 now so
Doman?
Doman resto gives exp?
doman restoration isn't a source of xp
it advances its own storyline
and unlocks various more items from the vendor, nothing specific
So I don’t get anything worthwhile
unless you're actively going for something from it, eh?
you get more gil than with vendors though, if you sell/donate your trash
Like the piss demi materias
late replay but you'll be notified when it's done
Can I sell directly from my retainer or my choco saddlebag?
Or should it be in my armoury chest
The items need to be in your inventory to give to the enclave
!iglam Yanxian’s Merchant Haori
tl;dr, while doman reconstruction and ishgard restoration vaguely share a name, they absolutely do not share a purpose/method
!iglam Yanxian Merchant’s Haori
Dyeable too
Nice
I just want to get rid of my retainers vault space
Lots of unnecessary stuff there
I’ll go with Doman then
halp.. how do i enter potd solo?
i've already went with a pt till lv41 but we wiped.. so i was gonna gear up a bit
Choose the fixed party option when setting up a save.
i dont see that option T.T or im missing something
Basically start a file as if you were going to enter and you’ll see it
i've got 2 slots. i need to delete 1?
Delete the floor 1 save and put it over that
can probably get carried with some 99's but would suggest getting to 20/20
all right. thanks!
okay so... theres no way this dye is really worth this much?? how much should i actually price it for since i got nothing to go off of apparently???
Goobbue Gray is super easy to get
so like 2 gil?
@thin comet just make sure you get silver chests and keept Steel poms for bosses and it should be very doable with this setup, however I'd recommend a healer/rdm/tank for first clear if you don't have potshers to buy sustaining potions
It can be bought from an npc for 40 gil
2 gil it is
might as well vendor it at that price, since pretty sure the tax will make it 1g anyway
eh i dont mind, i try to make the stuff i sell cheap as hell anyways. i pretty much already have everything i want or need so i dont really need to make money anyways

What order should I spend company seals on? Go for promotions first, then ventures, then glamour prisms? Should I go for promotions between ventures?
I'd recommend going for promotions until you unlock your squadron, just because that's another thing you can do besides whatever you are actually doing. After that just spend them on whatever you need/want tbh
There really is no shortage on GC seals at some point
What level is the squadron? I've only promoted myself once
Second Lieutenant
Ok. What are silver chocobo feathers for?
Sorting my inventory and found those. Don't know how I got them.
There's a trader for them in each of the hub cities. You can spend them on a variety of "nice to have" items
Nothing too fancy though but do take a look
Anything you'd recommend? I'm an archer if it matters.
The level 50/60/70 aiming gear
Once you hit lvl 50 you can spend them on gear for that level cap
The level 20-ish stuff is absolutely NOT worth the feathers
Ok. So hold them til 50+?
Yeah
Nothing the trader has is exclusive mind you, it's just another way to obtain those items
Ok. I'll just put them away. Thanks.
Otherwise you would spend poetics for the level cap gear
What are poetics?
As for my recommendation on GC seals, I recommend focusing promotions until Sergeant 2nd Class at minimum, as that’s when you’re able to turn in dungeon/raid/tomestone gear for seals
Which is a massive boost in seal income
Poetics are a level cap currency earned from level 50/60/70 content
Tomestones of poetics, being the full name.
Tomestones of Poetics. They are a currency you will unlock at some point. You can spend them on a variety of items that are mostly for catchup mechanics or old content
They’re used to buy the best gear for each of those level caps
Ah ok. I'll definitely do that then. I just hear people saying that ventures are great. So I started doing some but are out of the venture currency. Anyway to obtain them elsewhere?
hey guys, what class did you recommend for beginner ? 😄
And then the clan hunt system at 60/70/80
I often play melee but I like magician too
What do you wanna do? Tanking, damage or healing? (if you are familiar with the terms)
My general recommendations are Marauder for Tank, Conjurer for Healer, Lancer for melee DPS, Archer for ranged DPS, and either Arcanist or Thaumaturge for caster
Would you prefer DPS or Support?
and it seem summoner is something hard to play
U need big brain
@glossy flare damage
Summoner is definitely a class that feels easier when you level up with it
I have a big brain don't worry @warm loom 
Lol good
Summoner does a pretty good job of introducing your kit over the leveling process. It might seem daunting to just see the whole deal but when you went through it then it all makes perfect sense
It's not that complicated actually, just a long rotation (by comparison)
I like summoner too mines is lvl 70
Thaumaturge is pretty awesome Magic class. Messed with it yesterday for a half hour or so and the damage output is really good for early game.
and will switch samurai lvl 50 I think
my road map is arcanist -> summoner -> samurai
In that case I would recommend going with Lancer/Dragoon before switching
Just to get into that melee dps mindset
I fell in love with the aoe potential of the red mage tho
Even tho it makes me rage when I mess up lol
Bear in mind that Samurai starts at lvl 50 so it might seem confusing to you if you never played a melee dps before
Since you start with a lot of skills unlocked already
summoner has a whole lot of stuff for its rotation but they all fit very nicely in it
and i say this as someone who uh
boosted summoner 
For jobs unlocked at high level
when do i get my reward for giving my code key to a friend and he bought 90 days but was still in free play time? only got 5 golden feathers so far
Go to YouTube
not the tandem choco
Look for WeskAlber

**「Level 50 Opener:」**http://ffxivrotations.com/1ndy
Keep buffs up, reapply your Higanbana as close to 0s as possible, Midare goes brrrrrr.
• Level 52 - [Kenki Mastery I]:
Introduces Kenki gauge & positionals on Gekko/Kasha, hit your positionals!
Use Kaiten exclusively for Iaijutsu (Higanbana > Midare for ST).
**「Level 60 Opener:」**http://ffxivrotations.com/2rqm
• Level 62 - [Kenki Mastery II]:
Introduces lots of Kenki, Kaiten all Iaijutsu, use excess Kenki on Shinten - use Level 70 Openers.
「Level 70 Openers:」
— Lvl70 Bana 1st: http://ffxivrotations.com/2r8w
— Lvl70 Midare 1st: http://ffxivrotations.com/2r8x
Bana 1st > Midare 1st.
Reserve Midare 1st for encounters that require you to move exactly as you need to cast Higanbana with Bana 1st opener (UCoB Twintania).
• Level 76 - [Tsubame-gaeshi]:
Use exclusively on Midare (ST) or Tenka (AoE).
• Level 78 - [Enhanced Jinpu and Shifu]:
You can practice looping™️ on Innocence, don't loop in dungeons.
wait is that the right one
This channel has guide for all combat jobs and will walk you through how to use their skills as you level up
That's just a guide for openers and rotations at various level ranges
@frigid pelican you get furhtert rewards when they actually get billed
But the guy doesn't even have sam yet, so chill 😄
if they're on the free month, it won't be until that's over
just posting 🤷♂️
@forest sage so when the 30 days free time is over?
you can speed it up by buying game time cards which are redeemed instantly, but only come in 60days, can buy them online
and his 90 days payed start
are dragoons a better dps for Ultimate synced than Samurai?
yeah at the end of the free 30days
@forest sage k thx
Garlean Synthetic Fabric
All jobs can clear all content. And which job performs better in a specific situation heavily depends on that specific situation.
Is the owlet minion rare?
No two ultimates are alike, especially with the differing level ranges
What’s the best way to get the Garlean Synthetic Fabric the drop rate seems really low
i see, seems like every pf I see, it always requires a drg and not much favor sam, for ucob uwu etc
ty :))
I'm still a bit confused on materia. Can I find an npc to equip it for me or do I need to find a player if I'm not leveled enough?
The blue materia icons on the map are the NPC melders
They can do all visible meld slots.
You may need to do a quest or two to unlock them for use
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
And what about Garlean Synthetic Fabric? I’m doing fates in the southern front but it’s never dropping
Gold rating is needed for a chance, yeah
Thank you. Is it easy to switch out materia to better gear?
You can freely retrieve materia that’s below grade 7 on gear
I thought I saw it was untraceable
But in all honesty, it’s not worth melding your leveling gear since you go through it so fast
^
So I shouldn't even worry about materia?
At your point in the game ya I would agree with @obsidian patio
Not until level 80, for the most part.
^
Exactly so just keep doing MSQ
So basically anything I'd get from Spirit bonding low level items isn't worth my time?
Its free but theres no need to sweat or optimize it
So Garlean Synthetic Fabric is tradable?
Yes
Thanks for the help
Nope
Ok so ask FC and NN ty 😁
whats the most cost efficient way to acquire all cd keys required up until current expansion(currently still on free trial)? should i just buy separate keys from best offers on allkeyshop or is there a better way?
Don’t use third-party key resellers, as they always carry the risk of a fraudulent key.
Also the only versions worth considering are the starter edition (base game + first expansion), shadowbringers (2nd+3rd expansion), and complete edition (base game + all expansions)
complete edition k got it tyvm
Hi, what's the fastest way to Farm poetics? 5.52 is the latest patch?
5.45 is the current patch
Daily roulettes. mainly Main Scenario, 50/60/70, and Alliance Raid give the most of them
After that it’s basically spamming dungeons and doing whatever level 50/60/70 content you haven’t done yet for the first time bonus of poetics
!faq poetics
Bonus.. hmm would be nice to find those
There’s a LOT of optional level 50/60 dungeons that are easy to do at level 80 solo
!faq contentunlock
I have a question once once i am done with my trial version and buy the game thereafter will i be able to transfer my character to European datacenter from japan for free ?
No.
You can only freely transfer your home world if you’re on a Congested World and move to a Preferred World
isn’t castrum meridinium a good poetics farm after u done e with your roulettes? its also will net event coins too
once the event start ofc
You have to take the cutscenes into consideration
Poetics wise it’s not that good
To put that in comparison, Crystal Tower raids, like syrcus tower, can be done in 12-15 minutes with a decent group
I’ve always found Castrum to take closer to 30 minutes or so
Depends on how cid behaves after the first boss and how well the red magitek colossus goes
Yep
ARR raids aren’t part of the rotation this time around
The 24-man series giving out the tokens will be Ivalice
Okay this is going to be a really stupid question, but in E11S shifting sky are the bosses who do the bound of faiths the same bosses who dash? So I could start to determine the safe spot from the start of the mech?

The fire/thunder clones spawn later, just before the tethers/donuts resolve
Oh
Where can I accept the scholar quests? And where can I accept the summoner quests?
Okay so to level up the scholar and summoner at the same time, I would get all the quests from the arcanist's guild?
Scholar is in the marauder guild in Limsa and SMN is in the waterfall basin in Gridania
Scholar quests are mostly at the Marauder’s Guild and Camp Bronze Lake
Okay thank you so much! So if I have my scholar gear equipped, would I have to manually go to Gridania to get the next Summoner quest?
How does it work, I am a bit confused.
Because I am trying to level up both of them at the same time!
You’d need to swap to summoner to do summoner quests
You can set up gear sets to instantly swap between the two
Okay and then the quest should pop up for me?
As soon as you swap to SMN or vice versa it will show up under your MSQ header
When you get a new SMN or SCH quest it should pop up under MSQ
yup. look for the ! in the top left corner of the screen below the
tracker
Okay thank you guys! That makes a lot more sense.
that shows you your currently avaliable job quest for whatever job you are on currently
If you get one you'll get the other at the same time you'll just need to switch class
Got it, thank you so much! 
How do I use the other pose where I put the sword into the ground
/cpose puts the sword on my back
For DRK
thats female exclusive /cpose iirc
Goddamn it
What's the most edgy looking environment in stormblood or prior to sb
Wanna take a sc for my DRK
hmmm, maybe ifrit's arena for sephiroth edge
Tbh male GNB pose is pretty epic in my opinion
Is it Shb?
ARR
ohh
ARR, its nabriales arena
What's the trial name I forgot
The Chrysalis
you can also try the HW alliance raids
void ark is pretty edgy too with the demonic stuff
Tru
void ark, dun scaith and wiping city
Urth's Fount possibly too
Man I just farmed like 30+ odin's for his set
I'm never stepping into that place
That boot never dropped
Fair enough
Does he even have a boot
guys is there a limit for buying on Mogstation store?
Think so, I have his set but looks ridiculous on my Au Ra so never wear it
god I was wondering why I didn't have it, man my friend baited me into drk with it ugh
after i buy costume and some stuff and already done payment of it
Goddamn it I've to step in again
I just told myself that boot doesn't exist :/
and i forgot about the mount then try to pay for the mount when choosing payment method its automatically redirect me to a page error i2501
Shouldn't unless your card has a limit or something
I just care about the helmet
not even yet enter my card
when at choosing payment method
i press mastercard
poof error i2501
and i dont even safe my card yet @@
then i try the crystal top up method
press paypal
boom i2501
Maybe delete cookies and cache etc? no idea tbh
when i try at mogstation your account page
go straight to crystal payment is under maintainance
Have you had issues in the past or is this the first time trying to purchase something?
Are you using a VPN or something? that's known to cause issues buying stuff
the service could just be having issues
I remember I had to wait like 2 days to be able to buy something
rip
try again in a few hours 
should have put the odin stead in cart with all the costume i bought ==
and its took me to get my costume like 1h tho
from mail
Yeah sometimes it can be that long, not much you can do
want to give money also hard XD
Fresh 80 here, is it worth buying Exarchic Gear from the MB while I farm for the tomestone gear?
Only if it helps you get the ilvl required to access higher content
otherwise it's kinda pointless
(imo)
Hmm I guess I'll put it off for now. Just curious if it mattered cause in unsynced I noticed the max level characters had like 3-4 times my health lol
Thanks
what's your ilvl right now?
405, still wearing mostly Scaevan with some stuff from dungeons as I leveled
Continue the MSQ, there's some dungeons that'll help you get more gear
You can buy neo-ish gears as temps if you want. They are fairly cheap now.
or put exarchic into your wishlist and look for tanked price
I'll check those out thanks everyone 🙂
and you'll get tomes for upgrades while you do that, and you'll also be able to do the eden raids for 450/480/510 armour (depending on tier)
On a scale of 1-10 what would you rate the edge #ffxiv-screenshots @toxic glen
purple/purple
Another question, I read somewhere that if you do all role quests before the final ShB there's an additional tidbit in the ending cutscenes? Just wanted to verify if that's true. Right now I only finished DPS/Healer due to Arcanist.
true

But i think you can rewatch those later in your inn room so dont feel like you must complete them before shb finale
I think I cut myself
Too much edge
Ahh I didn't think of that. I've been putting it off so I was levelling my PLD and MNK lol. Thanks again
So is there “end game” gear when you reach lvl 50. I understand that obviously the game now caps at lvl 80 with much better gear but what about what was end game gear when arr ended all those years ago? .... hope that makes sense lol😫
And I get those tomestones from farming the raids that open up at the end of arr, right?
Aye exactly what I wanted to hear :D
yes, you get poetics starting from castrum iirc
but keep doing msq to unlock more dungeons
later dungeons give poetics and decent gears too
Just did that haunted mansion but also unlocked that temple in the desert and cleared that prior
Are there other hidden/unlockable dungeons
look for blue quests
at your level they are mostly in mor dona
but ye, there are lots of optional dungeons

This may sound dumb. I’m trying to level a second job so I’m trying to do some guildlevs but when I go to the green circle on the map there is nothing?
What am I doing wrong
You need to start the levequest
if I'm on a character below SHB levels, do I get nerfed XP from uncovering the maps?
Go into the quest itself and click initiate
Thanks
Hey I'm new to the game and using the free trail for now what's a good way to level a job from 1 to 60 that I can access
Done the MSQ?
I'm still working on it but I wanted to start leveling lancer and conjurer since I just got to the point to were I can travel to the other city's since I started Gladiator.
From 1-15 I would recommend Hunting log, not much you can do for fast exp early game then the rest is running dgs
Can also do PoTD if you dont want long queue times as DPS or a change
how do I unlock PoTD
Needa do the quest "The house that death built"
Unlocks after you done one of the lvl 17 MSQ, should be in Gridania
How do I set my gear so I dont have to manually equip it everytime
thank you
Go to your character profile and above your level should be 3 icons, wanna click the one on the Right
Should open up another menu and there should be a plus on the top left corner, click that and it should add it to the list which you can change back to
How do you get your housing orchestrion to play a song on a loop when you’re inside the house? It seems like it only plays when you access the orchestrion, and when you leave the orchestrion interface, it goes back to game music
you need to set the song to play instead of sample
so just click whatever song twice and it'll allow you to set it to play for the estate
after that you want to hit the repeat playback mode so you can loop it
Are the ARR beast tribe dailies good xp?

Think theyre kinda outdated at this point, ik crafting one really isnt that worth since Ishgard restoration is a thing
Hey guys so I bought the starter edition on steam, and going through the free trial period thing, and I want to buy a sub right now to get the recruitment benefits, I tried to buy a real sub but it hasn't charged me, do I have to wait until the free trial 30 day sub wears out?
I'm doing them daily, for combat classes the exp is pretty meh. Works for crsfters since you can use a high lvl crafter to build the quest item, and turn in using a lower level crafter. That being said, the grand company grants much more edp
so does crit hit give me base damage/healing potency as well as increased crit chance/crit damage?
I'm personally doing the beast tribes for completions sake, and also because I want to get their mounts and minions
good to know, thanks
some of the mounts are coming with the moogle event next week
no, it only increases crit chance/crit damage
determination will give a small increase to base damage/healing
as well as the main stat for your job (str, int, mnd, dex)
ok got it
Yep I'm aware! But there are other stuff I saw which I want to get instead of the beast tribe ones
How do i know when I'm at the required msq level to obtain my first mount
it's impossible to lose sprout as free trial right
You can gotta buy the full game
what
Peeps, coming back to the game. Havent played in donkeys.
Is cross class skills still a thing?
like is it worth a paladin having conjurer to a set level?
cross class skills are gone
so you don't need to level conjurer if you aren't interested in playing it
ah ok cool. makes things more streamlined i guess!
yea
Once you've rolled on loot can you leave?
no, you gotta wait for the items to be given out
ah
leaving the instance counts as passing on them
I'm trying to get this from Puppets, is it just a random drop in the coffers?
what's it called exactly?
YoRHa Type-53 Coat of Fending
It's just a random drop from the bosses I think
What like you just get it or you have to check the coffers
Ah, it's a drop from the 3rd boss
well, everyone rolls on it
it's in the coffers, yeah
nier loot is still in the game? its not event-tied?
Gotcha, didn't see it on this run
So I guess it doesn't always spawn
NieR is permanent content
No, that's all "Type-51" stuff
type 53 is bunker only
How the fuck are you supposed to win chocobo racing? I started doing it for the chocobo mask but I literally can't get any higher than 5th in every race I do
Is there a pvp meta or a tier list
if I pick up daily quests from a beast tribe, do I have to complete them before reset?
PvP tier list says: "PvP is dead"
Big ripp
I like playing classes that fit the aesthetics of the expansion I'm playing. In HW I found basicly any "knight" like class worked. I now the second part of Stormblood samurai fits but according to the trailers I've seen the first part is more of a monk thing, is that true?
I just want late allagan sets :/
On a more serious note though, it's not really popular content so finding resources like that might be difficult
Locationwise Stormblood is split between Ala Mhigo and the far east. Ala Mhigo is where the monks are from so kind of?
Storywise it has almost nothing to do with the monks, it's just their home country
But neither are Samurai important to the story, just their home country as well
But you also have an area that is more mongolian sooo....
U forgot ninja
Well those are from the same country the Samurai are from
Ye
Though Samurai are a concept multiple countries know in the world
I am once again asking for chocobo racing advice
Sorry buddy, my chocobo racing skills are non existent 😦
Yeah but Yugiri is from Doma not from Hingashi
Doma right
Is the Ala Mhigo part going to have alot of monks running around and stuff?
Also monks are from ala mhigo which is eorzea lol
or like cutscenes that work better as mnk
Not at all. As I said it's just the country they are from and their cultures are intertwined. There is also a monk themed dungeon in Stormblood. But the story is more centered around the resistance and fighting against the Garlean occupation
Which has nothing to do with monkish things
But the same is true for the parts of the story that take place in the far east. Sure Samurai are there and do stuff but nothing of the story revolves around Samurai things per se
If you wanna match aesthetics
I'd say play paladin or gunbreaker
Ninja or monk
A lot of paladins in ala mhigo front lines
Gunbreaker for imperials
I will say that one of the major story NPCs for stormblood is a monk or at least fights like one. So there is that. But you also have a major Samurai NPC 🤷
Major ninja npc aswell
Can you teleport to your house?
Nah, Garlean gunblades are different from the Gunbreaker ones
yes, you need a miniature aetheryte placed outside of your house to tp there though
you can buy it for seals from your grand company quartermaster or buy one off of the market board
ah ok thanks! Maybe I'll just start it first and then see what I think of it. Seems like the ala mighan stuff does not really have a certain theme that fits best then
Still looking for chocobo racing advice since I'm obviously doing something wrong
Also I'd have to level a monk to 1-60 otherwise and that seems like alot of effort if it is not really a perfect fit for the story
Will this automatically go to "Trusted" once I get more rep?
It is literally not worth it running msq as specific classes. The msq is designed to make sense as every class except certain classes get very. VERY minor callouts in dialogue.
@hot eagle thanks
I think the most consistent callouts are for the Dragoon in HW but other than that I don't see much of a difference between jobs
So does that mean any rep I'd gained before this is wasted? lmao
I didn't keep track of it much
only been doing dailies for ~3 days now
The game warns you if you're about to waste Rep (or tomestone) with a popup, so probably not?
Alright cool
yeah I got the tomestone ones but I ignored it cause I don't want any tomestones anyway
lol
If I dont turn in the timeworn artifacts for the last part of relic quest can I just keep collecting them via DR?
Yes
Cheers, guess that's the plan then
Also is there a way you can check how many times you've done an instance?

Does somber dance in e12s 2 hit two highest enmities or two furthests?
first hit targets the farthest player, 2nd hit targets the closest player
the same player can't be targeted twice
unless like all 7 other people are dead?? i guess
so if someone stacking mid gets hit, the st is doing sth wrong?
maybe
you want the ot to go to the opposite side to bait the 2nd hit
if theyre slow, it can snapshot people towards the center in it
it's a pretty large aoe
can also have the other people in the party take a small step back after the 1st bait so they're less likely to get hit if the OT is slow
oh yeah another thing
if the MT baits the 1st hit across the arena, then that's also pretty bad
I just got my first augmented relic weapon, I want to start another. My nin wep is on the 4/6 bitter memories stage, I was told that the second relic you do is quicker but I'm not sure how? Can someone explain this for me please ^^
the 18/18 step is a one time step
so you never do this one again
rest is the same
well besides having to buy the poetic stuff to get started I guess, but that's actually worse rather than better(but also kinda irrelevant it's just 1000poetics)
what are you guys talking about
ShB relic weapon progression
wew. is it that complicated? i am currently doing 5.1
i will also have to hunt for those later on
Is there a way to make it easier for alts?
idk im probably just stupid, I was confused on which step you skip but Pyros cleared it up 
Sending gold or armor or anything else?
it's not complicated it's just a long grind
It's not complicated, just takes a decent amount of time
Relic weapons are always grindy
Make what easier?
The leveling progress. For example, in gw2 there is a shared currency making it easier to buy items, in wow there is heirloom items etc. Just wondering as im a altoholic and I like creating/playing different races/classes.
Alt characters are completely separate
No real need to make alt characters either though, you can have all classes on just one character
how do i turn element shards into crystals?
You'll just be spending lots of poetics on 50/60/70 gear but other than that there really isn't anything
You dont
oh kk
They are all separate tiers, no way to merge them
how do i get crystals haha
Yea im not 100% what race I wanna play tho. I like them all so I will most likley have different chars because of races.
Fair enough, though that is actually a bit of a bother because everything in this game is tied to msq progression
Shards are basically only for arr crafts
While alt jobs would not require that
Those you could just level via dungeons, PotD/HoH or whatever you want
You get a free race change after ARR's MSQ, so
Another question.
Unless you want to start a new character as a rogue, a ninja, dark Knight, astrologian, machinist, dancer, samurai or gunbreaker
Lol
Can you delete FFXIV_CHR0040002E932F7070 maps?
I wanna clear some as im trying to find the main saved ones?
Tf is that
Character settings are per character afaik
Yes im aware. But you can copy settings. Tho I have 5 maps and no idea which one is the "right" one.
And I dont wanna accidently get rid of the "right" setting one by overwritting it from a old one.
Backup your most important one then restore it and compare modified dates
There's an in game backup for character settings when you log in and choose a character
The person with a gear next to your character name
snowcloak ice sprites suck, what are you meant to do as tank at that blizzard section? pull less?
yeah
but even not in aoe hp melts
even with mitigation
yoink them out of blizzard?
thats how the mechanic is resolved
aha ic that makes sense
you're standing in the aoe taking extra dmg lol
they dont' seem too happy to leave the blizzard though which is annoying
they have ranged attack
run wall to wall
well. I guess that's a solution
thats what most people will tell you to do
just worried about how low my hp might go running through blizzards if healer can't keep up
for every dungeon
dont stay in the blizzard
use cooldowns
same as every other wall to wall pull
so standard but the answer is just get the blizzard over with in one fell swoop then
gotcha
really just worried my healer couldn't keep up there
they dont have sprint or?
oh I mean heal wise
I popped cds and everything but maybe I was accidentally in blizzard or smth
I said it was mb anyway
there is a debuff
if you stand in it
maybe your buff and debuff bar needs to be larger in a more prominent position
any way to copy chat text on ps4/5?
I'm pretty sure it won't help too much, they're already pretty prominent but yeah totally mb, all in all I should probably just be less of a coward and do w2w even if I'm uncertain
but you said you didn't know if you were in the blizzard
if you keep and eye on the debuff bar you will see if you are taking damage or not
animations in this game are a rough approximation for a visual cue of the mechanic, you need to look at buffs, debuffs and cast bar to know for sure
ngl it's me trying to explain to myself, I'm pretty sure I yoinked them out anyway
in that case maybe u can get better gear
if you did everything right and still took too much dmg
maybe your gear is too low for the dungeon
Do wall to wall because if you die, you just tone it back a bit
if you don't do wall to wall, you're potentially wasting a lot of time
I mean it's snowcloak and I was in shire custodian
and I don't want to blame the healer either so maybe I registered I was doing things wrong and just blacked out
It was probably the healer if you were using mitigations and not standing in fire
it's nice you guys told me to do w2w, I didn't even register it was an option to just w2w that part of snowcloak
Its good to recognize how you can improve but also be watchful of the healers actions
Cure spamming no holy
I mean it was a scholar
ARR and HW dungeons can be sketchy to w2w if you're around the intended ilvl tbh
they just seemed to let me get low a lot but they usually did get me up again before I died
and I'm pretty sure that's just standard healer behaviour
Define low
around 20 percent and sometimes a bit less
Only thing that matters is that you don't die
That's reasonable, 10% is getting a little reckless but manageable
eventually you learn to not panic when at 10% hp
yeah it was probably just the sprites which hit a bit hard took us a bit by surprise or smth
Tanking in this game is actually so easy that in normal content it's very rarely YOUR fault that you died
unless you did something blatantly wrong
My general rule of thumb is not to w2w with sprint

oh god
even if I did pop sprint I check behind for how far healer is
also by the way, in keeper of the lake with the boss with the bombs, how do those actually work? I asked and no one told me. ever. is it partially tank responsibility to knock them aside? is it aoe or raidwide?
If they get hit with flamethrower they become time bombs
So aoe knock them away from the boss
I see
Someone just do it
It's arguably everyone's responsibility but since tank dps is less important you should take the initiative regardless
Tank dps isn't less important
Probably
It seems kinda important to tell a sprout this ngl
Arr dungeons are super brain dead due to power creep so a lot of people never had to learn them
Dungeons are designed to be cleared blind
Does logging out in an inn room do anything?
But yeah I guess we’ve never wiped to it
Only got us real low when it fucked up
And sometimes we cheese past fights but I never figure out exactly what the mechanic was
that's pretty standard for older content
‘Gee what nearly killed us’ ‘lol no clue we’re past it so who cares’ is a standard ngl haha
i heard it used to give you more rested exp but not anymore
its the same as logging out in any other sanctuary
no
inn room has always been same exp as sanctuary, afaik for 2.0 atleast
you just get a cute animation when logging in/out if you do so in an inn room
i like the cute animation
Is there anything to do before starting Stormblood ? I think I'm in the last patch before it. Also, is there any relic weapon that's worth getting or should I ignore relics until I reach ShB?
Anything but the current relic weapons are purely for glamour at this point
Also it's just good practice to unlock all dungeons and raids I guess, but if you have no interest in that kind of content then don't
(On the topic of the ShB relic weapons though: Those require completion of the Stormblood alliance raid questline)
Ok thank you
do sch and smn use the same relic ?
Nope, there are always 2 different books
Technically they don't even use the same weapon type

How much harder are ultimates compared to savage?
wierd , i cant find a single vid showing the smn book
ppl always only show sch book

can some one help me get SMN relic weapon from heavensward
So I've hit lv 55 in the free trial ed. and want to play the full game, I see the $60 pack has shadow bringers but I see it comes with ARR, do I need to purchase content I've already completed to access this?
E12s takes a few weeks for most players to prog. Ultimates take about 6 months
Oof
The mechanics tend to be more complex and the fights are longer. Prog of the fight takes on average 60 to 100 hours verses the 10 ish hours for a savage fight
Group skill dependent
And what kinds of resources you use
I suck so it could take me a while lol
Yeah channy has it more right
Blind prog makes things more slow
But there are guides out
Like on average the first couple floors of a tier take maybe 3 to 4 hours for most players to get through
If you're not totally sure you're capable of it yet
I want the cool glowy weapons
Try clearing the current tier first
SHB comes with stormblood, you already own ARR and HW so it won’t overwrite it
ARR and HW are part of the free trial but you need to buy them regardless to access any expansion after that
But how long you're willing to prog
But also how much focus you put into continuous mechanical execution
Easily 15 to 18 minutes where you have 0 checkpoints and can make nearly no mistakes
Oh it kind of feels like a waste paying $20 for content I experienced for "free" but I see thanks
Ultimates sound pretty cruel, sounds good to me
Little to no deaths and little room for error
You didn't own the content
what
You need to clear the final floor of savage that ultimate was released in to even unlock it
I need to word my answers better
Free trial isn't owning the game @sacred sphinx
Yeah, I've got UCOB and Weapons Refrain unlocked
Ok question for people who have done an ultimate, how much salt was there while trying to complete it? I imagine it would be pretty tense
Finding a group will be tough too if you have no savage experience for them to see
Before going into ultimate, I would recommend you clear an entire savage tier before even attempting
my friends did it for me and there was salt there 
ppl getting frustrated that people with the clear were making mistakes lmao
other groups might just disband
im looking for help in Cape westwind for my quest newbie here queue using parter finder already 50min
i'd find a casual group to start out with if you dont want salt
Would owning mounts and gear from savage tiers be proof of experience
On ps4 its wqhat i got
no its not
No it really wouldn't since you can unsync old fights
only if u did it while it's current
so if you dont have savage logs as proof its gonna be hard to find a group
For example my static is gonna do ultimate when we clear e12s
Why are you not using the regular duty finder

50min queue m8
But not as we stand as we just got to e11s
And do you have the correct other language settings on
did i need to wait 1h for just that -_-
what server are you on because 50mins for cape westwind is very sus
u said party finder
how to on other language
not duty finder
chocobo
i never said i owned the game i still dont see your point but ok
they are different
The cogwheel at the top of the duty finder window opens the duty finder settings. make sure you enable J
I don't believe Chocobo is on Elemental
When you're on the free trial your account isn't registered with the licenses associated with the game. Thats why you need to purchase the related licenses to register expansions as well
hmm mana if im not wrong?
ye mana
Yes chocobo on mana
Even if it was elemental, should have J on regardless
Yeah
i thought the default had it all
I would enable every language
no
duty finder defaults to your language settings
so if you only have E, it only stats with E
i dont remember changing it but maybe i did, it was many years ago
Its by default your basic language setting
oic that makes sense, ty
roulettes default ot all language
but specific queues are still duty finder language
you want to match with Japanese players as well
im ok with it
Or you'll be stuck in queue looking for English only players
Its also 2am JST though to be fair
since my class is a tank should be fine >>
Please change your language settings in your duty finder
