Which doesn't control logd
Im seeing them as blue quests
ahh thanks
Leves are just small repeatable quests
They worth doing as a new player?
not for combat classes
They're trash combat xp but good for dol/h
dol/h?

Hi! I'm experiencing some significant issues resetting my password through the site; the whole process seems to work fine, up to acknowledging the new password, then when I attempt to log back in, it says "bad username and password" I've tried submitting a ticket through the online help system twice, but it appears to dissapear with no confirmation or anything just a acknowledgement of my submission, but I get no email or anything. Does anyone know a better solution here? Or other avenues of contact?
which site
Anyone know how to increase Npc dialogue size on ps5?
theres a difference between the SE store account and the mog station account
I've used the "Forgot your ID or password" link on that page to initiate the reset
are you sure youre not trying to use your SE store login
and you have the right username
Yessir
I'm new, just doing the main scenarios, hitting a lot of dungeons now with 15~ minute queues, just missed a queue and it said my penalty amount has increased-- does this matter?
(sorry for the slowness, I'm rechecking each thing deliberately)
then probably wait a bit for the system to update your password or wait for support to get your ticket
@shell knot if you miss 3 queues you cant queue for 30 mins
Thanks, any idea if under the sound settings the Duty Finder would be considered a "System Sound" ?
if i want to upgrade my free trial account i dont have to buy the base game? i should just start buying my subs?
Noted; thank you @remote lintel ; do you happen to know if there's a phone number I can call just in case?
My google-fu is failing me apparently and I can't find anything
yeah i thought so, my friend said i only need to buy sub for some reason 🤔 oh he just forgot lol
Thank you!
My friend is playing arcanist, and I don't know anything about the class
is he supposed to apply Bio to as many mobs as possible to do decent damage on trash pulls?
3 at least, prior to bane
so 3 bio, 3 miasma?
Yes, double dot 3 things at least
edenmorn gloves are from 11S right
damn that seems so unfun
Bane fixes it
yeah
gloves can appear in both 10s and 11s
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
alright thanks
I think you still have to sneak past that first room
after first room
But after the first boss, should be possible
If I've done a Duty Roulette a day and it says "Rewards already received" I assume I get nothing the next time around? Not just the bonus that is reduced but it's actualyl 0?
Trying to farm Company Seals
That's correct yes
You can still get the seperate Adventurer in Need bonus
the rewards would be if you just ran that dungeon as a regular dungeon
However the Daily bonus has already been granted
AIN bonus is repeatable?
yes
What's AIN bonus?
adventure in need
if tank role is needed for roulette and you queue in duty roulette as tank
Basically encouraging people to queue as a particular role for Duty Finder
what would you say is the easiest class to learn/master as a new player
The image is "Adventurer in need (Tank)". So if I was a tank I'd get the rewards again?
paladin
white mage probably
They're all complex at level 80 so it really depends on what you're looking for
The healers are the easiest to DPS with but white mage is mainly on the GCD so that's definitely the easiest one
samurai is probably the easiest dps to learn
althought it's not easy
per se
just easier than the others
dancer and red mage are generally considered the easiest
Actually, I'd argue monk or machinist
oh yeh machinist
mch is pretty easy too
you must be joking with monk
are they all viable end game?
of course
yes, all
monk is simple
there is no meta
nice
!faq meta
is it really worth it to go on a preferred server?
do you like to move around alot? then go melee dps
Yes
preferred servers are good for leveling alt jobs
do you like to stand in one place and do tremendous damage? then go caster dps
casters dont stand in one place
generally they are more static than melee or ranged dps tho
all jobs prefer to standing one place
i just want to focus on my main class, and be on a nice populated server
moving too much is detrimental in general
Do i need to have the Awoken Weapon equiped, to complete the Anima Weapon quest for HW Relic?
I can´t finish the quest even with all needed items. 🤔
then you dont really need the road to 70 buff because youll way outlevel the story then @sonic dew
you kind of have to, as monk
The preferred server bonus only applies to full game characters iirc
no it applies to trial
oh rad
What would be a good way of farming company seals? FATEs seem to be very random or are they level dependent? Would like higher level FATEs if so.
im not a trial, so it's cool
GC turn-ins
just turn in dungeon gear
The best way is to get up to second lieutenant and spam GC gear turn ins
gear delivery. rank up until you can trade in gear to GC
is there anyway to see server population or servers focused on end-game?
not as frequently as you think. true north/riddle of earth and teh fact that you can basically plant yourself on the corner and shift a millimeter each way reduces your movement a lot. also rotationally you're not moving every gcd
if you're moving every gcd you're playing the job wrong
I find it hard to sift through gear tho. Can I sort by "aquired" or something? Or should I simply turn in all the old stuff I got seen as how I don't focus in those fashion stuff just yet.
"yes" but the last survey was like, months ago
turn in anything you dont want anymore
also certain jewelry items are very cheap off the marketboard, and you can buy them and then turn them into GC if you need a sudden infusion of seals
where can I see it?
all servers are populated and theres no accurate way to see which are the "most" populated
oh ok
and you can world visit anyway
Should just need to have it in your inventory.
is there any way to see the ones that are more endgame oriented?
are you in NA
yup in NA
which dungeon is quicker? wanderer's or amdapor keep
crystal has slightly more RPers but thats it
Amdapor IMO
I just turned in all green gear, seen as how it seems the worst. Finally I can start the hunt side stuff!
you can raid on all data centers
because you can wall to wall?
Yeah
amdapor has easier wall to walls for the most part
since you dont have to bother with oils like in wanderer's
well, the last two amdapor's i tried wall to wall wiith, the healers did not like that very much
if you're doing it with randoms, then you kind of need to keep df's average skill lvl in mind
i find that wandere's palace last around 9 minutes if you know what you are doing
that said, you are also missing a lot of healing tools at 50
is it safe to go to pagos at eLVL 17 or will i get smacked hopelessly by everything and i should stick in the first zone until 20
would personally recommend staying in anemos for as long as you're willing. even though they changed the lvls on the aethernets in pagos to make it easier to move around, higher lvl will make life easier
so there's no way to see who's top guild in progressions?
most people don't raid with their free companies
oh what.. ok
it's an odd concept but very not like WoW
free companies DO raid sometimes but by no means are raid groups tied to a free company
im coming from hardcore mythic raiding in WoW 😛
there's no reason to be bound to a free company tbh for raiding
especially since you can very easily just make a cross server static
Having troubles getting the blue mage skill off a certain boss. We enter, the boss uses it and hits us, then we beat it, and nothing happens
how do you find raiding groups then
party finder, reddit
which boss?
Imma guess its Cold fog
same
Chimera. We want Rams voice
are you doing it sync
You dont need to be hit
unsync
then that would be why
that's the problem
Unsync is RNG
its rng
Oh!
Sync is guaranteed
Okay we'll sync it then
Second question, are we able to learn both skills from it at once or do we need to do one run per skill?
And we can get both with one run?
Yes
Thank you
Does the +15% gold saucer VIP card work on the platinum tickets you get from the moogle event that give +50,000?
does anyone know roughly how long the moogle event lasts?
No one does
until april 13th
@candid ruin until 5.5 so one month
Yes
ah ok awesome. thanks
They told us during the Endwalker announcement stuff
Do you need to clear all the containment bays before you can start doing sephirot EX?
No
Ty
Can a pc xiv account play on ps4?
What are the Allagan and Irregular Tomestones that you get as reward good for? Gear exchange?
Bunch of collectable stuff
Mounts, minions, and glamour
It’s an alternative source of getting them
Ah that's great! I wanna do dungeons anyway and ofc try to get everything done and collectibles aren't a focus but might as well.
THanks
those are two different things, allagan is for endgame gear for arr hw and sb
To check I've understood ultimate gear sync - would any upper limit ilvl item suffice, the factor is just the stat itemisation?
Anything past the upper limit gives the same stat totals
id ask around the balance over this server, they have a list for BIS for ultimates
so like, I can sub whatever I like as long as it's crit-DH or whatever?
If you don’t need a specific GCD for your job yeah
for 70 Ultimate likely. uncertain about 80 Ultimate
suits me. no problemo
TEA has pieces from Heroes' as BiS since they're 475
even if i free player am i able to get prefered server bonuses?
Yes
thanks
Does anyone know hwo to hide UI for screenshots?
Hello guys! So i've started playing this weekend and I've been wondering how to get a mount? Is that from following the main quest or something?
scroll lock
I think you get a chocobo mount from doing a questline later on
!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.
just keep doing the main quest and you'll ge ta chocomount
Read this, top half
Aight! Thank you tons!
hi!!, i have a question!! i was playing on ps4 but just got a ps5 (finally got one!) i downloaded the game, but all of my User Interface and cross hotbars are reset or randomly set, can i export the settings from ps4 somehow and transfer them to my new ps5?
is there a way where someone could safely exchange a house for gil between another player that would want to auction off a deed of a house plot?
Go back to your ps4 and do character backup from the character selection
I see a lot of advertisements on PFs
Same with settings
Alright got it! Thanks again, I kept seeing people with mounts in the same area as mine so I thought I did miss something.
Those are just higher level people/alt jobs
Only to people relocating really, unless you're selling a full FC with house
@faint flare thanks!
so you technically could be able to safely buy from another player?
If you already had a house
is the resistance gear better?
To relocate to the plot
Better than what?
no lol
Hell no
No
resistance gear is mostly for glam and bozja haste
Law order is 510
so let's say you didn't have a house, and you didn't even get a small plot you wouldn't be able to purchase the deeds? unless it's an FC house?

No cause empty/freed up plots have the random invisible timer on them, preventing people flipping plots
thats the entire point of the invisible timer
to just to confirm something
you could just buy off a FC with a large house or something?
and keep it?
in a way yes
so they wouldn't be able to like screw you out of the house
once you own the leadership and it doesn't pass away
well
for inactivity?
get it down in logs
They could quickly relinquish the land
Before giving you leadership
And fuck you out of the house
then what did i farm in bozja for?
you guys said its good for gathering materials as well
The ability to continue your relic
but if they give you leadership, that's pretty much set in stone right?
Once you get leadership its yours
relic weapon. armor tends to be good in the instance only
gotcha, sorry about the confusing bits of questions
cant i use the armor outside of bozja?
You can
its just not the best outside of bozja
yes, but if you have 530 armor why would you
Yes, but it lacks the Haste bonus and so there's other armor that's easier to get that's better.
Its slightly better inside bojza when augmented
Cause of haste
Otherwise standard gear like Cryptlurker/savage is better outside
Its nice gear for alt jobs at least
It's also just fun to have that much haste for a goof. Fell Cleave go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
oh yeah i actually got one more question
let's say you got the FC house and leadership does relinquishing give you the the rights of the house for personal use?
and you can slap it on to another FC?
It would activate the random timer
Anytime a plot is free for whatever reason the timer goes on
yes you can change fc name and tag
Is there a way to retroactively check through fflogs what persentage the boss was at a specific timepoint?
nvm found it
Can Viera wear the Ultima Horns? I fantasia'd, but once I go back I don't want to have wasted my tomes.
yes because they sit on the front of the head and therefore don't mess with the ears
ty ty!
Question, can you have guests inside of an appartment. I have an RP idea i wanna execute, and i'm thinking starting with an appartment first until i can get my hands on a house
iirc, yes
wait, do you mean tenants?
or just visitors?
because in either case yes
Visitors
yeah, absolutely
You can allow visitors, yes.
Where's the Doman Adventurer's Guild?
The thing i wanna do is a RP tavern/pub kind of thing, and houses probably won't be avilable in months yet
So i was thinking, if i start small in an appartment that might work
Just go into your apartment and open the housing settings and set the privacy options to allow guests.
Ta
Can you be more specific about what you're looking for? There isn't a "Doman Adventurer's Guild" location, per se. There is, however an inn and a separate tavern in Kugane.
Thanks Aura
I need to do the quests from the Doman Adventurer's Guild questline in order to unlock the Doman Enclave restoration quests. I'm missing "Short Arms of the Law" right now.
they're in mor dhona
So, what's the use case for MNK's SSS? Like an early combo finisher when a mechanic forces you away?
yep
Pretty underwhelming for your final skill but I guess I'll take it
Sometimes it do be like that.
Where in Mor Dhona? Because Hozan is only offering the next one (A Thousand and One Farewells), but it says I need to complete the one I mentioned previously. It's not in my quest log, either.
X: 22.5 Y: 6.2
I mean, yes, but there's nobody there.
are you certain you did the previous two quests for them
Yeah, that one has prerequisites.
I'm not certain tbh
Is "Lil Rascals" one of the prereqs?
yes
Ah okay, now I know how to proceed from here. Thanks, y'all!
One other question: is Yozan's coat an available glamour?
Obviously scaled to adult character size
Oh, there's a glamour channel. Dunno how I missed it. Thanks!
Should i skip side missions?
Yellow quests Yes
thanks

does new game + also play all the non cutscenes where characters talk without entering one?
yes
cool thanks, been doing ARR optional dgns recently due to relics and realised missed a lot of details ||then again would prob forget about edda and co before tamtara hard||
Is there a way to keep my hotbars filled with things outside of class skills the same in PvP?
do I have to rebind them all?
you use it before you queue into the instance
yes, as PVP hotbars are completely seperate from PvE hotbars, so shared hotbars dont work in PvP content
with the treasure trove event it seems more ppl are doing pvp now
was wondering if ninja's are good in pvp
all classes are good
hi! is there a way to increase brightness in game? (please ping if you respond!)
@drifting burrow turn up gamma in system config
Just check around aetheryte plazas
Does the bonus EXP based on your highest level job include DoL/DoH jobs or is it your highest DoW/DoM job?
armoury bonus is only for combat
Ah okay
Oh but I mean if my highest job is say lvl. 80 FSH and I am leveling PUG, will I get the bonus?
no
Do you have another combat job higher than your pugs level?
Yes
Well there's your answer
Your fsh level doesn't matter as cerberus said it only goes off your highest level combat job
Ok cool
I know ive asked this before but
Say your laptop deosnt have a scroll lock key
how would you take a screenshot then
Change your keybinds in character settings
bless you
there a site or yt page which goes over story content in 14?
The purpose of this document is to compile the story of Final Fantasy XIV so far for new players who wish to understand the lore but need more detail than the official website offers or players who wish to review the story quickly without having to replay or rewatch it. Final Fantasy XIV takes...
There’s a bunch of story related pins in #archived-lore-spoilers
i just got my first chocobo, but i don't know how to summon it. where do i access the tooltip to add to the hotbar?
the mount?
yea
did you use the whistle in your inventory
yea
character > mount guide
yes
does that include side stories?
no
Are there any mods at all that do something to hair physics, or at least help with clipping?
I'm tired of using short hair, and not the hairstyle I actually like--because it clips terribly with everything.
do similar buffs stack? For example, Rampart and Sentinel for Paladin
Defensive cooldowns stack multiplicitively
Aka they're 44% mitigation, not 50% for those two
Ah gotcha
Is there some kind of crafting boost that unlocks in Ishgard? Someone mentioned several days ago that I should wait for crafting until I reached HW
so it's probably better to use them after the first buff is finished?
ah it's after HW then. Wiki says level 60.
cool thanks
Everything from the end of 3.0 to the start of 4.0 is lv60 content
does bozja give you access to skills from jobquests up to level 80 too? or do you need to level and complete the quest before you can use them there
none of the 71-80 skills are from job quests
so yes you'd have access to all of them
well that makes that easy 😂 thanks!! c:
So I just saw someone in a video change class by clicking on a macro button and it showed all the roles of a specific class. How can I do that?
gearsets?
add a gearset to a keybind
the macros are in the #protips-and-ui pins
he clicked on the dps icon and popped up all thedps classes. same for the others
Hey guys I'm lvl 18 right now, how much time I need to be lvl 50 and should I focus story quest or dungeon ?
a while, and story
Is there going to be a next step for the SHB crafter's relics or is the ilvl 510 their final stage ?
How do I get the pose where the DRK stabs his sword into the ground and holds it at the hilt?
thats a gender specific pose. its for female dark knights only
one more set of steps for the relic
/cpose with the weapon unsheathed
and there is no command to use opposite gender command ?
nope
Can you do New Game+ quests as many times as you want or is it just the once?
as many as you want
Awesome
seem a really good way to exp alts
I don’t think get EXP though
ah ok
But I wouldn’t mind redoing some scenes in different outfits
That's exactly the kind of thing it's for.
you can watch cutscenes in the inn
continuing with this question, can you NG+ side quests (not like Hildbrand) but just your normal side quests. 
Yeah but those don’t let you choose different dialogue responses, right?
unfortunately normal
aren't part of ng+
yes they do
So only way to "relive" those is to make a new character?
ye :\
Oh man, I’ve been missing out then
what about it
Can you change a macro icon to look like a traits icon?
Was wondering if there is any kind of mod to alleviate the hair clipping with longer hair styles.
Or if modded hairs also suffer that issue.
cuz I'm getting pretty tired of seeing clothing or armor clipping through my hair as my hair waves back and forth lol.
can't really fix that
tl;dr if there isn't, you can make your own because that clipping is due to how models work in ffxiv
cut your hair
you can't account for every hairstyle and ffxiv doesn't like doing physics because that's an easy way to murder your PC
I've had short hair, and I'm not even a short hair kinda person.
It's just I can't stand this clipping lol. So I always switch off from my favorite hair.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know /micon "Assize" makes the macro icon look like Assize. Is their anway to do something that takes the icon from Traits and have it as the macro icon? Like /tricon "Tank Mastery" ?
is there a /command for switching to CWLS?
and visual modding isn't illegal for square enix ?
/cwls #
I haven't seen anything about traits being used for macros 
The game and engine are fairly old, to make hair and clothes not clip with each other would require an extreme amount of work
Square does not condone modding yes
Can free trial users participate in Rival Wings and Frontline?
If there was a mod to fix the hair, that'd be the only thing I'd probably ever use.
tbh.
I don't think so at the moment due to botters using free trial accounts to abuse PvP
hmmm frontline. Yes. You need to do a quest to unlock it and I'm pretty sure it's A Realm Reborn content
It will not happen unless they iterate the engine, which is unlikely
Probably not? I don't recall there being the ability to use traits as micons
Can I get more of weapons that drop from the coffers you get throughout the MSQ?
for example the white oak weapon one
Yes, as they're vendor/crafted stuff
I'm just afraid to even open it because I have no idea what the weapon will look like.
okay, then I've no reason to worry, tyvm
i mean, you can just google it
spits on googles face Duck duck go o7
The only weird ones are the ilevel 50+ ones, but it's more that they're more annoying to get back then anything
Even then, not bad.
Has anyone figured out this weeks fashion report?
its posted on friday
Its not Friday yet
I don't know much about that
Friday is in three days
I know that...
I didn't know that you can only do report after friday
I just started to do fashion reports
KaiyokoStar will have it posted on Friday, use !fr in #kupo-bot-spam to see the result on Friday
np, Kaiyoko will have it posted every reset
Ty
Now let's say hypothetically...
I neglect to attune to any Aetherytes in the First and then return to the Source
how do I return to the first
go back the way you went in originally
Oh, I guess that makes sense.
Good thing I haven't left yet
As I fully intend on attuning to that sucker before teleporting anywhere
Go to the scryus trench
Same way you got there before
Npc in Mor dhonas field, near the coast
you won't ever be hard-locked out of msq progression, just retrace or look for a gatekeeper near point of entry
was it obvious if you had to ask 😛
enjoy shb !
I just returned today from a long time break. And I tried logging into all of my accounts. I can log into everything, except for logging into the forums. It's telling me, 'since I haven't logged in in 14 days my forum privelege is revoked' or something along those lines. How long does it take for me to be able to look in the forums on SE?
you need an active sub to login to lodestone
Yep, I re activated all of my subs, normal monthly, all my retainers and the fancy mog app subs. Still can't go into the forums and it's been a few hours since I reactivated my subs
yeah it can take a few days to register that you logged in

The last time I came back from a break, I vaguely remember it being slow. Like not to be surprised if it takes 24 hours
ah k
Anyone can help with a light party for my blue mage
yeah SE stuff takes a bit because of fraud protection/shit website i guess idk but 2-3 days is what i usually expect to wait with anything SE related lol
Is it normal for shadowbringer trials take 30mins+ to get a party?
As it seems I cant have lvl 80s carry me either so my only choice is to wait
depends, if you're a dps, probably. You have the option of putting it into Party Finder to get more people as well. Generally adding "first time bonus" will help it fill.
how can i find the original dye colour of a gear
can we queue pvp more than 4 ppl
Pick dye on the equipment and hover over the terebinth
But I cant use party finder while us8ng duty finder
is ishgard restoration a good way to level crafters?
Yes
oh i mean the name of the dye
So unsure if going party finder with first time bonus will be faster than duty finder
So I was trying to switch computers, but the HUD backup I have was not as updated as I thought. And now when I try to go back to my old computer to download the updated backup, it was already set to the older one. Is there a way to return to the most recent backup? For more clarity, my backup file is dated July 2020. But I last played in January 2021, but I forgot to make a backup for the changes I've made since. And when I got my new PC in January 2021, I took the old backup file and used it in my new pc, now when I logged back in to my old pc, the settings are back to July 2020, instead of January 2021. So is there a way to get it back to January 2021 settings on my old pc so I can redo the backup file?
You probably overwrote your settings at this point
And have to redo them manually now
so there's no way to get it back to the previous settings on the old pc?
If your settings overwrote even on the old pc i doubt it
If it is dyed, it should be in the item description iirc
The name of the dye, I mean
To 60-80 a crafter whats the easiest cost friendly way to do so
firmament
I am trying to do that but the crafting recipes for that are so overwhelming
At what lvl is duty finder unlocked?
grab the DoH role from #612757637813239808, there are pins there with rotations etc for each tier
Lvl 15-16
What does it mean if im lvl 17 and its still grey?
Are target markers restricted to your party or can they be seen across alliances?

What lvl story quest are you @
@jagged crow this is pinned in #doh-dol-lounge with other things too
should I keep my retainers gear to the bare minimum for a better chance to get venture coffers or equip them with really good gear?
Not quite sure what you mean? Some pieces can't be dyed, and some pieces when dyed can't really reflect the original, like the white/red white mage robes tend to go all white or red/pink
ty
there's no real point going higher than whatever is current break point if your aim is venture coffers @fallen niche
Sorry I couldn't help more there
Aight cool
ah maybe its story quest. didnt know you need that to unlock it. thanks
Ok so is going party finder for shadowbringer trials actually a thing? As atm in party finder there arent even enough posts with ppl to fill my trial party as it is, so how could I even find so many ppl for it
For extreme trials people use PF
If you're queuing for normal ones just use duty finder
I just need it for story
so like rn got nirvana wep undyed and want to know what the colour option is or is there more undyed colours than optional ones?
But I am waiting for like 45 mins now
It is like 1am for EU
Almost 2 am CET
Guess that adds to the wait
are there guilds/clan in FF? I can find any tab in game
Free companies
There are free companies
That's the closest thing
People use shout chat in populated places to advertise
you can use any dye on anything dyeable iirc
Wait does lower item level really increase your chances of venture coffers? I’ve never gotten one
There ain't much you get for being in one though
There's no proper ingane way for it
yeah but i'm wanting to check the name of undyed gear if possible so i can match others to it
Whats fellowship?
Basically a message board
a message board
With no chat
ah lol
higher ilvl does
but there's a point where more ilvl is irrelevant
Sadly since undyed items are well, 'undyed' they won't have a colour listed to match
So should I keep my retainers at like IL 400
ok thanks
!faq retainerbp
Aight cool
basically 428 is the current cap for it, so there's no point going higher than that
so i finished the starting quests for dark knight a while ago and i've decided i wanna lvel it, i must of destroyed my gear i got for the quest
any way i can get that gear back?
Buy from vendors
kk
does rival wings give wolf marks?
Yes
sweet
hi!!, the open beta version for ps5 that is coming on april will be the full game and you will be able to play online and do duty instances too??
It's a free upgrade from the PS4 version, if you own the PS4 version.
yes, i own the ps4 version, but i was wondering if it will be limited to some content or its just the same game on ps4 only not a final version
is there an up to date guide for leveling alt classes quickly?
Is there a way to command your chocobo to attack so the enemy attacks it instead of me?
I don't see why it would be limited. SE hasn't said it would be.
!faq altlvlguide
thanks!
ty
Chocobos make terrible tanks, even with the tank tree skills
listen. I just wanted the answer.
Damn
They answer is let it attack and then never attack the target yourself, because it doesn't hold aggro well
Unless you really want to rely on your chocobo for 85% of your damage, otherwise you'll yoink agro easy
Listen they gave you an answer and the passive aggression wasn't warranted
But typically the tank tree is the last tree people invest points into for their chocobo
Grab 4 ranks in healer tree then dump into attacker
Basically enough to grab some healer skills for sustain
And then to pad your overworld soloing
ctrl + spacebar probably
MY MAN

Why did the queue for Chaos take 1 hour and the Queue for Midgardsormr take 45 mins, but Omega's queue takes only about 5!?!
hey i just unlocked the paladin, how do i switch from gladiator to that now?
equip soul stone
uhh, how do i do that
its the bottom right equip slot
ahhh, nice thanks!
Omega is much cooler.
I do hope you know the difference between Larboard and Starboard.
If you don't, please direct your anger at Koji Fox.
Give me a quick TLDR
One is left, one is right. Old nautical terms.
Larboard got replaced by port in the early 1800's because the british royal navy couldn't quickly discern the difference between the two.
Omega does an untelegraphed spinny move that hits half the arena, and it's either "Larboard Wave Cannon" or "Starboard Wave Cannon"
You will get hit by this.
One way or another.
starboard is right
the thing about the mechanic is that once he does one, he's rotated 180 degrees
Larboard starts with L so it's LEFT..this helped me the most
so the other's safespot is the same side
Unless he repeats the same attack.
In which case you gotta move
Cast time for it is... small enough that a hiccup in your thought process can get you shot.
i dont think ive ever done it correctly 
Best practice is to stand dead center on the boss's butt and move just enough to be out of it. Minimizes the amount of require reaction time.
I've only ever had one run where I avoided it perfectly every time, and that was a 1 tank, 7 BLU run for the spells.
hey guys i can have only cocobo companion?
Yes
ty
Imagine if you could have a full ass party of Chocobo.
...wait that's basically what beastmaster would be as a limited job.
how much money do i need to pay for access to all expansions and content?
What is the little closed off area to the north of the Goblet?
when does my sprout come off? i know i can do it manually but doesnt it come off at a certain point
oh shit im almost there
like 60 bucks or something, then 12$ a month for subscription
eeeeeeeee
believe me its worth it
im not even done my first month of subscription and am reaching 200 hrs played
btw im canadian so could be different for you
does anyone have the entire dialogue script of the praetorium ?
what do you plan to do O_O
read it to my static in voice
oh cute
alright i'll fork it over
what is this?
a minion
and will be together with me forever?
yes
yes
Yes
Yes
except in instances
ty
goobbue will never leave you ❤️
it will be with you in spirit
They are adorable and you should collect all of them
i can summon.more than.one?
no
no
Not at the same time
But there are hundreds
there has been some content announced called Island Sanctuaries which SEEMED to of shown a lot of minions 'running free'..but that isn't released yet.
where can i find cute ones?
everywhere
shop?
Thats all of them
there's a lot. some react to emotes such as /pet /slap /beckon etc
I doubt everyone can own a private island when we don't even have enough house on some servers. 
guys i searched for gysahl greens bit never founded
Would missile / launcher work on bigger bosses? In specific the end boss of Aurum vale synced?
Not the final
But the first two bosses it works
Final bosses are generally immune, firsr two bosses in arr dungeons are sustainable to death skills
Say my internet drops mid duty, can I reconnect when it comes back on?
if your party didnt kick you or finish the duty yes
Yes
What's the macro for changing jobs?
just drag the gearset
I don't like the look of the default gearset icon
I want to change it to the soul stone of that job I'm wanting to hotbar

How does an average person get into raiding?
start with EX
is summoner getting reworked?
We don't know
EX and talk. join PF for savage. asked for discord / to be involved. do good in pugs and put in your search info that you're looking to a join a static
hope not, really like the current rotation
Is there a way to power level so I can breeze tru dorma? I'm straight up hitting a wall. Not a fan of that place at all
It's a bit of a meme that SMN gets reworked every expansion
ah i see
@rose oak the msq?
can you exchange the current irregular tomestone of esoterics to the law one?
Yes, I'm not liking that msq at all is sonbland I heard expansion after that is amazing like heavensward
Is EX extreme trials?
Sad...
No, but if you have leftovers since last time you can exchange those now
@oak ice rip. i wish they would just open it up for more recent players like me :*( thanks

If you get the Falcon and Nightmare, everything else is relatively easy to obtain
i wanted ixion though 😦
Is the skill progression Extreme Trials > Alliance Raids > Normal Raids > Savage Raids?
Join a hunt linkshell, they often do callouts on that fight
extreme trials -> savage raids -> unreal trials -> ultimates
So pretty much I have to endure dorma until what level? I'm 70 and a half
70
unreal is ex yea
unreal is filler content do whatever with really. hard for some easy for others
lmao no
no
its not harder than savage
its literally EX scaled to 80
centurio hunts yea? super unlucky with those. but regardless, i appreicate you responding. thank you!
its extreme level
Unreal is EX fights scaled to 80
its a copy paste of the EX fights
For an average player what do you think is realistic to achieve?
average player can do every content if they really wanted to
^
i just said start with EX because some people might find jumping straight into savage jarring because of the requirements to beat it
but you could just go straight to savage if you wanted
Are parsers allowed?
no (yes)
Don't ask, don't tell situation
The game becomes addicting the more you get into the game. A realm reborn is grindy, then after that it gets better and better. To the point you might play for 5 minutes... only to realize 24 hours have gone by
I'm not much of an MMO player so is there another way of checking if you're improving?
not really
sky sea trial
!faq sss
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
that isnt accurate
just do your rotation correctly and use food/potions when youre progging savage
you want to maximize your dps
or play as blu and just self destruct when you're confused
You can upload your ACT logs to fflogs, then enter those into xivanalysis.com for a general baseline on things you're doing incorrectly
Any tips for a returning tank?
When did you last play?
Last thing I tank was brute justice
!faq tankguide
Tanking is literally just "turn on tank stance and hit stuff"
Last time I played tank seriously, was when flash was still a thing xD
Flash was removed in 5.0
Flash not a thing anymore
Brute Justice was a 3.2 fight
are there any level 1 axes you can glam on to not look potato outside of stormblood pvp and mogstation purchases?
They removed Flash and lowered Total Eclipse (what used to be a level 42 skill) to level like 6
not really lvl 1 ones
I don't want to annoy you guys but
the gold saucer axe is pretty decent looking
I never finished alexander just did dungeons and story after guild disbanded until the point where I'm at stepping on legos doing dorma msq
is it getting good at your job with ACT and xivanalysis then finding extreme trials through duty finder hoping people invite you to do other challenging content?
So glad I got FF14 discord. When Novice network is in doubt, ask here! \o/
I wanna go back to it and reach endgame. Hopefully is attainable
party finder not DF
no
no.
each person does it however they want
Making sure the rotation is at least somewhat muscle memory by hitting a training dummy a lot and then further apply that to content is what I do
if you have friends in this game and/or carry yourself by being enjoyable to have around if you're numerically bad at the game they'll keep you in the static etc
it's like any group activity event. draw own parallels to how groups can be ran casually/militaristic
that said
Are statics groups of players found through party finder that stick together after doing a few test runs?
if youre doing really shit with your class or something people can drop you from the static
yeah
What is SSS
Timed training dummies
Hopefully I'll get to 80 quick and start the real endgame, looking good and gearing.
Called Stone, Sky, Sea
fail a dps check / unwilling to adapt / other issues as the problem you're going to be dropped if they care about clearing the content. it's not personal, they'll help you try and learn the class - but there's a goal in mind and wanting to achieve it
Is anima weapon still a thing? Are they must have?
They are glam
I understand getting dropped though just worried if people get toxic in this game like competitive shooters
Ok so no more no anima no invite type of thing like I had happen before
look for statics that are more new player friendly and focus more on having fun
instead of statics that are more rigid with their progs
^
/dance
fem highlander dance?
darn
ye
I am miq
time to fantasia
I guess on the racial questions, how tall is a max height Hyur vs min height?
any reference images?
middie or high?
middle
which hunt marks bulletens are still relevent?
https://i.redd.it/7y4h0dfoyp031.png male version
depends on the mount
i know a few mounts scale on height but thats prob a minority
not all of them ofc scale
Only clan nutsy for level 80 stuff
But the GC hunt board and clan centurio are a good source of ventures and free teleport tickets
does this one scale on height?
Should I look for a guild now or wait until 80
Up to you, free companies are mostly a social thing
prob scales on race
fairly certain its only on racew
and gender technically i guess
since male au ra riding the t-rex is much bigger than a female au ra's
Can you have more than one page of favorited mounts/minions
sadly no
So timewise how long hour wise is stormblood?
rank it up
i just need to fight with him?
About the same as Heavensward
@inland falcon yep. Kill monsters near your level and do fates
i used cocobo but is still 0
Keep killing stuff.
I guess I just keep kicking and screaming until I leave doma lol
So I'm assuming stormblood is 75 cap and new expansion 80
And you’re doing fates?
There's zero disadvantage to being in a FC/guild (as long as it's not toxic ofc) There's plenty that would be happy to have you that are low commitment. You get buffs all day, a house to teleport to that could be near a MB and have resources, and people to potentially run content with you or at least give advice.
fate are dungeons?
Is there something like daily crafting quests matching my level that will somewhat guide me into casually leveling them up?
No. Stormblood is 70 and shadowbringers is 80. New expansion (Endwalker) is cap of 90
If you didn’t see a “[chocobo name] gained exp” in the corner you’re doing it wrong
@hollow violet leves, beast tribes, gc turn ins
Also fates are the blue circles on the map
They’re the blue/purple circles/icons on the map in over world zones
Will look for one hopefully to possibly raid with
you can be in an FC and a raid static simultaneously too
Guys is there any difference what server i choose? Im EU and i was wondering if its better to go with old server cause of population might be higher (easier to find) pt or should i go with new one?
So just follow along and do side quest if I get stuck
!faq worldpick @humble belfry
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
Like the GC leves I did to rank up? Are they called 'crafting leves' or something I can search for?
Chocobo doesn’t get exp unless you’re close to the enemy’s level
They’re not exclusive things
ty
Most free companies are for the social stuff
@hollow violet theyre levequests
Most people use linkshells or discords to organize a static raid group
Same things for gatherers? Seems like I should focus on those first
yes
If I would choose between stats or defense / magical defense for a tank, which one do I aim to prioritize? I often get vendor gear with higher defense, but in contrast to that I have dungeon ones with better stats
raid statics are informal groups that raid together, they aren't an in-game mechanic like FCs. You can find statics recruiting on the community finder website, on this discord, reddit, etc. FCs can also raid together though. I am not a raider but most serious raiders seem to be in a static
Ehh, what are these acronyms for when it comes to subs?
Ty.
Ship parts
And ty @obsidian patio aswell
C is coelacanth, U is Unkiu, Y is Syldra, S is Shark and W is Whale
Add a + for modified
Ahh okay, tysvm
Is there a way to hide the crops hotbars and hotbars when outside of battle (showing them only while pressing l2 or r2 on controller) and show them all the time in battle?
with a macro that you would have to click every time probably
This is going to sound like a dumb question, and I'm sorry in advance but does limit break friendly fire?
no
Alright, thank you

As long as the gear is at your level you are probably fine, just use the recommended gear feature. Dungeon gear is usually better than vendor gear. I'm not sure what level you are but for tanks you'll be wanting to use gear specifically for tanks (only tank classes can equip) eventually after the lower levels. Gear with a higher item level will always be a direct upgrade over tank gear with a lower ilevel.
hello. i just started playing this game, and i want to be rogue. i was wondering if anyone can estimate how long i must play the main story quest before i reach the location of the guild. thanks.
if you start in limsa lominsa you can change to rogue at lvl 10 after you do your lvl 10 class quest
around 1-2 hours
Question does level syncs only matter if you are over leveled for that dungeon or is does it change your gear level based on what that level is
if you start in limsa lominsa
ah, ok. i didn't know it was an option. i am in gridnia, i think it's called.
then lvl 15
then it will take 4-5 hours
alright, that's not bad. thank you so much.
since you have to do all the main story quests to 15 in gridania
@reef cipher if youre over level
Thank you
if you haven't progressed too far, you can just start over on a new character
and pick a starting class that starts in limsa
which is marauder/arcanist/(maybe third class?)
i might end up doing that... i am level 13 now, but it's the second time i have leveled to this point, because i wanted to use another race
i'll just ride it out, probably 😛
no, its just marauder and arcanist for classes that can be picked from character creation screen that start in limsa
is gridania the only starting city with three classes you can pick outright?
uldah has 3
so it's just limsa that gets 2
correct
rogue/ninja was intended to be released with arr
it just didn't make the cut
no, limsa was always a starting city
Rogue is a great class when it turns into Ninja, have fun!
