for the S rank, the condition must be done after timer runs out? Or can the condition be made before, and then just wait for timer to spawm?
So I got a notification that I can do the next Job quest as Summoner but I can't find it anywhere
I think it has to be done when it’s able to spawn
A and S rank need to level sync like fates?
Nope
A and S rank are open-world bosses
Look at your main scenario tracker UI and click the smaller quest name below the MSQ quest name
That's where I thought I'd find it but there's nothing there
Hello ! Is Shiva will be surpopulated soon ?
@frozen crater what’s your current story quest and your last completed summoner quest? It might be expansion-gated then
Oh, maybe. I finished ARR and I'm 52
That'll do it
If you’re trying to make a character on Shiva you just need to wait for people to log off
Your next one won't be available until you finish 'Before the Dawn'
Ahh, gotcha
When you get the MSQ 'Coming to Ishgard' your next SMN quests unlock
@obsidian patio No I just want to tranfert on chaos but 14€ is overkill just for that
Gotcha, I've been working on the Crystal Tower stuff because someone told me to do that so I haven't gotten to that yet
And then they'll cap at 60 and you'll need to reach Stormblood to continue
this is good
Do the entire chain
All three parts of Crystal Tower
You won’t be able to avoid the fee unless your current world becomes classified as Congested and Shiva as Preferred
And finish the final quest for it which is called 'A Light of Hope'
I just had to buy some earrings and bracers so I could hit ilvl 70 for Syrcus Tower
@obsidian patio Mhh, and shiva will be congested soon or the change happen rarely ?
If you have money to spend you could buy i125 gear off the MB and pretty much be set
I have about 250k
never mind
We don’t know. SE decides the statuses of worlds and adjusts as they see needed for whenever patch updates happen
I bought some i110 earrings
Daystar
The next expected patch update is 5.5 on April 13th
@obsidian patio okay thanks !
Does the Sylph Beast Tribe Area change when your reputation rises? If yes, how much?
After finishing 4.0, are there more primals? (like warring triad from HW)
If they are, please don't tell me their names (I wanna get surprised when I see who they are), I just wanna know which quest unlocks them and where do I start those quests.
Only the expansions beast tribes do visual changing, ARR tribes don’t
Great, ty :)
Well, I guess the ixali tribe kinda does with the airship they make
But nothing like the other tribes
You probably start them by playing through 4.X
Also
You can start the trial storyline for stormblood around patch 4.2 MSQ
please don't tell me their names
proceeds to name a HW trial I haven't reached yet
It starts with the optional dungeon called “Hell’s Lid”
I'm a level 54 scholar, and I'm trying to get the next class quest called "The Green Death", but I'm unable to find it
Does anyone know where its at?
You’ll need to start the heavensward story to unlock that quest.
Which comes after the ARR patch story
is there any way to buy sub that is not recurring, rather I do it manually each time
Buy it with Crysta
It won’t try to pay for sub if you don’t have enough crysta to do so with
ah okay
If you mean stuff from the FFXIV online store, yeah
The store yes
But game codes are region specific
no no not game codes
na thats my bad no worries, shoulda said
I just mean like outfits and stuff yknow
I'm in Twin Adder, when they say "you've reached the highest possible rank", is there anything else to do or should I move on to the next company? From a completionists perspective I mean. Unless having highest rank comes with specific benefits but neither gear or anything else seems that compelling. Not sure how to use up my company seals.
Although on the Character Page, when you click on the Grand Company icon, I'm "only" second serpent lieutenant. I thought it was possible to climb higher to "Seerpent Champion"?
Captain is the highest obtainable rank, currently.
You can promote to it with the use of Grand Company Squadrons, which are unlocked at your grand company and accessed through the door by the hunt bills
Unlocking squadrons also requires unlocking the Challenge log in Limsa Lominsa from the quest “Rising to the Challenge”

is there anything with these water, wind, earth sprites since they are basically in every zone or they are just filler enemies
Is there a ceiling to how much exp a person can gain from their level?
Like can a level 20 person gain 80k exp at once? If there’s someone else helping him kill it?
Basically filler enemies.
is it rude to leave a FC? thing is only 4-5 people from the FC are active, rest of them havent logged in months
You’re basically limited by the content you can do. You also can’t turn in quests above your level.
Enemies on the overworld give pathetic experience unless you’re blue mage. In which case they get good experience from level 70 enemies
I can’t tell you how much it is at super low levels since I’ve been keeping up on BLU’s level cap whenever they increased it, and usually not with a friend helping me boost.
But you can definitely get BLU from 1-70 in a few hours at the absolute most with help from a friend
I am looking to level my BLU yes
I’m level 38 now and only to level up till 50 for aurum vale farming
Nope. The FC doesn’t sound that active and if you don’t enjoy the time with them it’s not something you need to justify staying in.
absolute best way to level blu would be go to the beach in Kholusia and have a level 80 friend outside of your party kill mobs you tag
you'll get 50 in minutes with that
@leaden ginkgo
Normal mode, yes. Savage mode isn’t expected to unlock until like 5.55 or 5.58
The weapon token from E12N will still be on a weekly lockout, but the token they exchange for will be adjusted to only need 4 instead of 7
Wow I’m already lvl50
That’s fast
What’s required for the aurum farm now?
and it didn’t show any class quest now that I’m lvl50
iirc none of the BLU quests are 'required' so MSQ tracker doesn't show them
why am I offered the Winglet instead of Falchion in Recommended gear? is it because of materia slot?
the only reason you'd have for doing the blu quests is advancing story and unlocking the vendor for gear/weapons iirc
either that, or game reckons the substats are better. i believe that's a case of 'do what you want'
well, you still have to
they are standard job quests
just not tracked because they're not as essential
Recommended gear is pretty wonky when things are equal in defense/weapon damage/main stats
It considers all secondary stats as equal in weight
So yeah, if I had to guess it’s probably the materia slot
thanks @agile laurel @obsidian patio
Is the falcon mount exclusive to the moggle event?
This is the first time it's been made available since a few years ago
It’s been in one or two moogle tomestone events
But yeah it’s basically a promo/moogle tomestone exclusive mount
Ruby Gwiber, a drop from Cinder Drift Extreme

Awesome, thanks Ryzing!
woman, and that event was over ages ago so she should be gone now
She would have been here though
That event ran for yeaaaaaaaaars
I didn't play for yeaaaaaaars
So the answer is probably "no but if she DID come back it'd be a looooooooooooooong time from now"
I wouldn't count on it coming back
Ceruleum should be shared yes
shared among your party yes
its only shared for your party, maybe thats what they meant? like, if someone in your party gets ceruleum, the other parties wont have it added to their total
^
I got two ring slots. Can I have the same ring in both? I mean, a duplicate. Or does it not work?
what guide were you watching ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Idk watched a lot of guides
Thought of buying 2 Ironworks rings
if the item doesnt say unique on it you can have 2 of the same one equipped
On pvp
ironworks is fine to have 2 of
i dont recommend youtube guides cause they can be outdated and theres just way too many people making guides out there, a lot wth potentially inaccurate information
like that one lmao
@silver ruin I see, thank you. I'll check whenever I have an item to see!
it'll say it at the top of the item help box or whatever its called, near where it says binding
Yeah noticed when I checked my soul crystal, Unique, Untradeable.
yea
What does DoW/DoM and DoH/DoL stand for under classes/jobs?
Seen it in the ironworks shop as well ( the former)
disciple of war/magic/hand/land
I opened up a few of these just so they're ready for later. However Samurai is already 50. I assume it starts at 50 by default then?
Yes
Stormblood jobs start at level 50
Heavensward ones at 30, Shadowbringers ones at 60, new expansion ones will start at 70
What is the max level currently btw?
80
oh one more thing. Duty Roulette I try doing them daily, but some are really low level. Is this by design or will it ever increae? Like Guildhest is almost always low level bosses that take like a minute and you get 600 exp. Is it mainly so newer players find matches to do them?
That’s just the minimum level needed to queue for them
Their rewards scale to your level
...besides Guildhests, that one is pretty horrible in exp gain
Ah
yeah, guildhest is the only one that ever really gets "outlevelled"
Yeah so if you get something like Sastasha which is super low level the roulette bonus xp will be wayyyy higher than if you had a higher level dungeon to compensate
What all spells do I require for BLU to breeze through aurum vale
white mage vs dark knight which would you recommend to someone that's a noob which is easier to learn to play and not f up
White mage is the strongest healer
If healing is your thing go for that
Would it be fine if I dont use Demon Slice and Demon Slaughter in raids?
Too many buttons, thinking if I can remove those since I wont be doing normal content with GNB once I finish levelling
missiles, white wind, ram's voice, ultravibration
Also their way of acquisition please
Depends on if the raid in question requires you to hit multiple targets

where can I unlock ninja?
you sure it's at limsa?
Ye
oh aight lemme see
ooh it doesn't have its own aetheryte
found it ty
how do you level a class for the first 10-20 levels?
Fates are okay as well
yea
Though leves would probably be better xp wise at a low level
where can I find any?
any adventurers guild
though I would suggest starting with your hunting log
and use leves to fill the gaps
thanks
(Hunting log is definitely the best thing you should do first though, do the rest when you run out of hunting log to do)
yes that's what i'm doing!
how can i fly with my cocobo im level 54

Have you completed The Praetorium?
what is the praetprium?
does free trail main menu screen differs from complete version ?
or how do i find out whereever i have full version of the game active now or when ever its free trail
title screen changes depending on which expansion you're in msq wise (arr > heavensward > stormblood > shadowbringers). if are on paid version you'll kinda know by the subscription costs (unless have thrown on starter or complete and didn't notice that part)
does the version numbers same on free trail and complete version ?
yes that's just to show what patch version is active
hm
is it not optimum to go all out cryptlurker gear?
ive bought the game but do i have to like add it to mogstation or smh ?
to convert to paid version yes, converting account is in mogstation
converting account ?
if you just want to be ready for 6.0 520/cryptlurker is plenty good enough
converting from trial to paid
is that feasible in high end raids as well?
i dont understand it
im at mogstation Service Account Status which shows me only Standard
Remaining Days : 30 days (Free Play Period)
Minimum ilvl for current savage raid tier is 500 so cryptlurker does get you in there
Only way to get higher is by doing savage anyway
Sounds like it's already added
that's the 30 days that comes with the base game
but i bought complete version and not standart ?
This is what "standard" is referring to
oooh
It's about the sub and not like, what expansions and stuff you have
wait so what expansions i get with complete edition ?
Just a reminder that you probably don't need standard
Everything
oh great
Complete Edition is Starter Edition and the latest expansion
The latest expansion always includes previous expansions
https://gyazo.com/0652a0993a185f953757d82150403b4f so im good ?
https://gyazo.com/d6c1b3dc18bf817b5377205cc7a43b41 also this says i dont have any subscription
That's all good
the 30 days part is what came with complete edition
oooh
but you do have 30 days to play with this is all normal
so its just as gifted from enix ?
If you want to think of it that way?
the add subscription is if you want subscription to be auto paid with a credit card (as opposed to manually adding with time cards)
oh so u cant get subbed with paypal ?
That's pretty standard with MMOs that require subscription tbh
Buy the game, get 30 days for "free"
well its confusing what im having cus freetrail is 30 days
Free trial has no limit
free trial
yeah let's not confuse the term
no limit ?
as far as i remember SE only takes logo cards on mogstation. resellers of time cards will take paypal but that's as much payment proxy as it gets
You start paying for subscription AFTER you buy the whole game
oh ok, sowy it confused me, sooo much i was nearly ripping ma nipple
Its:
1st - Free trial (no payment, but game has restrictions)
2nd - Pay for game (get 30 days free)
3rd - After your free days are up THEN you pay the sub
Is there a way to search your triple triad deck for a specific card?
will it charghe me auto for subb ?
Only if you put a card on your account
only if you put a payment method in mogstation
cant i pay with paypal ?
That, I dont know
oh great, you are all so helpfull FREE HUGS FOR YOU
Np
how many Gb is the game ?
preinstaled i mean ?
erm ye XD
weird
49.6 GB (53,295,250,549 bytes)
so my launcher downloaded 40 gb, and i turned it of after launched my game when its done, now i turned launcher again and its downloading another 17 gb ?
Yeah if you only just bought the complete edition you probably haven't downloaded the expansion files and stuff
That's the expansion stuff
its going only with 1,5mb/s here :(
left it overnight to be finished, now it started another lot
will there be another download XD ?
hopefully not (until patch 5.5 next month)
welcome to stormblood's content
i think i wish i havent bought the game
It'll download, it just takes time
b..b..bu..but i ..
what's after recollection weapons?
law's order (510) and augmented (515. substats choce)
between augmented requires a one time quest/grind
Basically you only repeat Loathsome Memories and Timeworn Artifact steps
15 crystal towers or ce
Yep
For the first step
Tho ideally if you don't wanna suffer just do CLL
Because it gives you 5
Per run
1-61 Palace of the Dead
61-70 Heaven on High
71-80 Bozja
Or highest level dunegon
Combined with roulettes
tyvm
keep in mind deep dungeon (potd/hoh) is best to avoid long queues. you still should do daily roulettes
need to get a replica 😐
someone used my friend code on a different server but the same data center. I want to say thank you by sending them gil. What's the easiest way to do that? I can't seem to add him as a friend.
meeting in person (in game) with world visit and trading
Gotcha, okay. Oddly a pain. If I go to his server, can I look him up and communicate in game? Or do we have to set a meeting outside the game?
To add them as a friend you have to form a party btw, then the person will appear in your contacts and you can add them as a cross world friend
To form the party just meet up via world visit
Pretty annoying process but it is what it is
Could also use PF to do that though.
That is oddly annoying. Thank you for explaining it!
Why do people sell things like Allagan Silver Pieces on the market for less than they are worth? Silver piece is worth 500 but some people sell them for 450 on the market?
because then ppl would have a net profit of 50 gil by buying them
they have no purpose save for being vendored for some gil
Well yes obviously, but why sell them. If you have them, why would you sell them for less than they are worth?

because people wouldn't buy them if they were sold for the same amt that they were worth?
Are you trolling me or something?
i think the person is asking why people sell them in the 1st place
Yes
I guess the question the guy is asking is: "Why are these people not vendoring them themselves?"
Some things are beyond understanding
Which honestly... I have no idea
and my answer is “they are good people” xD
Selling it for 1 gil makes sense if you are wanting to transfer gil between characters in the form of allagan pieces in very niche situations but other than that it's just beyond explaining outside of "people aren't looking at their value I guess"
Can you rewatch cutscenes?
mostly (at an inn)
in an innroom you can watch cutscenes again, but they only apply to specifically cutscenes
I friend once told me that way back when you could only have a set amount of gil when transferring servers so people would often convert their gil into allagan pieces before doing that
But that's no longer an issue so i dunno
i think youd be surprised at how many people cant be fucked to actually read what stuff is/what its worth
haha yeah that could be it too
see: how much money yoi can make from upselling housing items on the marketboard that are literally sold by npcs for a fraction of the price
Applies to dyes too
people dont read
Hello! :) New player here (started on monday). I was wondering around what level or at which point of the story I should get interested in joining a free company? I've always taken "guilds" and their equivalant pretty seriously in MMO's and don't want to join one if I'm gonna be a burden/useless for a while :) thanks for your help!
FCs are just a social thing
Does hide work on HoH?
guilds are a lot less serious here overall and even while not doing endgame stuff you still contribute points to the guild so nearly anyone will take you
I got into a FC immediately for buffs but its not necessary at all
you get buffs for being in an fc so may as well join one
Depends on what the FC has up
Most FCs will have battle exp buff and crafter buff
Some do reduced teleport rates
Its different but most of the time its exp buff and crafter buff
Okay! And is there a common way/method to advertise/look for a FC? :) Since it's social, I much prefer smaller FC's without hundreds of members :)
theres also ffxivrecruitment reddit if youre looking for something in specific
Say whether you want a chill fc or laid back fc or something
Or you can try
The uh
Community Finder?
Is that what its called
Uh wtf
There
How do i /tell somebody who is on a different server? They can message me but when I try it, it says the message could not be sent
I think you have to add @ + their server's name at the end of your /tell, I had a similar problem not so long ago
It doesn't work even when i target their previous message to me
i right click their name and do send tell
Oh idk then sorry :/ maybe they disconnected?
hmm maybe, it was a rage msg so they might have just chickened out once they sent
Yes, probably
Also : Coming from WoW, I'm used to endgame content being daily/weekly raids and dungeons. How does the endgame present itself on FFXIV? :) What do you have to do? Is there limits? How do you grind/progress?:)
Endgame basically consists of the current raid tier, which is always 4 separate boss fights you can prog through
There is a weekly limit on the current endgame currency and on the times you can roll for loot
But you can run them as much as you want
So how it goes is: You learn the fight, then clear it weekly until you got all the gear you want
Okay, so you just run through the same 4 bosses until you maxed out for the week?
Currently eden 9-12 has a weekly lockout until 5.5 (for norm)
Pretty much, though learning those fights takes some time obviously
Every other patch you get a new raid tier and thus new fights
And you go to those 4 bosses immediately after finishing the main story?
If are ok equipment wise from a crafted set of 510 can skip to e12 since thay drops weapon token in norm
Or is there a progression through multiple raids?
No, endgame is basically it's own questline but it does require msq progress to start it
And right now you have to at least clear the previous 2 raid tiers on normal to unlock the current one on savage, but that's not really an issue
Oh, also the current tier on normal
Eden is a little more integrated with main scenario requirements wise than older raid series
Always clear it on normal to unlock savage mode, basically
Those raids are 8 man btw
Okay! And "having all the gear you want" require a lot of runs I suppose?^^
Hi guys. Considerign returning
I stopped after grinding the story until the middle of the first expansion
Is the story/game still so grindy? Getting to engame was too much to do 😦
There are also 24 man raids which you can use to speed up the gearing progress a bit, but not before the next 24 man raid drops
Which is next patch
It will take some time because of the weekly loot and currency limits, yeah
If those were unlocked you could probably speed through the tier in like a week if you are hardcore 😄
Okay! Last question then I stop bothering you I swear. How many runs per week do you have to do to max out? I think I can run once or twice a day, is that enough?
Getting drops in norm and savage is partly down to luck, just different loot systems (direct equipment coffers+ books in savage vs tokens in norm)
You're not bothering anyone.
Anyway, how long it takes you to get a fight down is up to you of course. After that you basically clear each fight once a week for a chance on loot
Don't think I qualify as hardcore haha, I have something like 2d playtime only
If doing norm that should be plenty for weekly drops. Savage reclears will depend on who wants what
The endgame currency is not solely tied to the raids btw
There are other activities you can get it from
But there is still the weekly limit
(450 tomestones a week, 2000 cap)
My issue and reason why i quit was that doingthe story alone for hours sore me out.. How did you guys pull through ?
I wouldn't call the game grindy but it has a heavy story focus. If you like that you're gonna have a good time, otherwise not so much. Everything needs main story progression basically
Well I pulled through by enjoying the story 😄
Oooh! That I didn't get! Okay, so to resume : learn the fights, do them once a week to get the loot, then do other stuff to max on currencies?
I will admit ARR was boring as hell but it really clicked in Heavensward
Yeah. Hunt trains are a fairly easy to get tomes
That's the gist, yeah
You have some variety with those "other activities" so it doesn't get too boring
Mhm it was rly good... but heavansward was hard af for me... it was just runnign around nonstop
While at the same time the game does not require a huge time investment (compared to other MMOs at least)
So it's pretty chill
Okay thank you! And endgame gear is a mix between things bought with the currency and loots from the raids?
I mainly play as Dragoon :)
Does it get better after heavensward ? I think I remember ppl sayin it was the grindiest..?
Well it's always a mix basically, but which pieces come from where that may differ
probably a dumb question, is there a way to not see the ability info when i put the cursor on spells
I wouldn't call Heavensward msq grindy, if anything people call ARR grindy
You can do /hud ahelp :) it will hide it, and if you do it again it will show it again
Generally yes for best in slot, but if going for good enough there's a lot of ways to get it done. Weapon prog is most limited since only choices are relic (which is behind in item level but servicable), tome, savage. Trial and crafted are also just ok
Okay! Thank you all :D
Stormblood has more filler but less quests numbers wise
@winter ice This is the current DRG BiS if you are curious about that. Well it is BiS for the 2.5 sks tier, there is another one for 2.46 though from how I understand it the 2.5 one is generally to be preferred
https://etro.gg/gearset/7f0557b6-d86f-4d3a-8953-4db56bd23488
"Filler"
Thanks!
@glossy flare Okay ill revisit the game. Be prepared to be annoying by questions since i likely forgot a lot 😄
Hey guys. I need some help/advice from someone playing outside NA/EU regions regarding the best way to go about buying and subscribing to the game. I’ve been playing the trial and want to get the full game but Square Enix’s website doesn’t have my country in the drop down list when going through checkout. I’ve contacted support about it a day ago (still waiting for a response) but in the meantime. Could someone playing from another region please tell me how they did it? Like how/where did you buy the game and how do you pay for your game time? I really wanna ‘upgrade’ so I can enjoy the full game. (P.S. I can’t get it through Steam because Steam only has the Windows version, I’m playing on macOS)
Thanks so much lol
Square Enix’s website doesn’t have my country in the drop down list when going through checkout.
Well what region is your mogstation account in?
No problem! I had the same problem! I made a macro with /hud ahelp and /hud ihelp (for items) so that I can disable/enable it whenever I need to 🙂
im stealing that LOL
I’m playing Trail on US but I’m based in South Africa. Can’t check out on the square Enix store when entering my credit card info because South Africa can’t be selected for the billing address.
Super useful when you want to see your screen during instances but also have to clickity click some buttons
So just to be sure, you don't mean you are specifically playing on an NA server but your actual Mogstation account is NA?
indeed, thanks again lol
No problem!
Im playing on Exodus. Mog station account is “Americas”
okay okay
So I'm not even sure if buying the game from SA would even be correct for your account
since I'm sure SA would be put under "Europe and other regions"
So even if you could work out that problem it might not even be useable?
Guys, I just got the mission to try out the unfinished Gae Bolg on some enemies, but I can't see it in my inventory... It says "You obtain an ->unfinished Gae Bolg" tho.
Ive tried changing the region through “update account information” on mog station but there’s no option to change it.
I did have a full armory chest and discarded some hammer just now, still it doesn't show up
Check key items tab
nothing in key items either
if your armoury was full it would have just gone into your normal inventory
Try /isearch gae
^
I did the quest yesterday, it should be in your armory chest
Unfinished Gae Bolg
>>Hard Leather Caligae
2 matches found containing “gae.”
I mean, I have it, but the menu that pops up only has "try it on" not "show in inventory" so to speak
Then right click on unfinished and search
Well I'd personally wait for SE support to get back to you in regards to buying in SA but I'm pretty sure their codes would need your account to be "Europe and other regions" so I'd maybe make another account if you really want to buy from SA, otherwise if you just buy a digital NA code that'd work for you quite simply
I could probably make a new EU/Other regions mog station account but then Won’t I lose my character? Been working quite hard on leveling, unlocks, etc. I don’t wanna start over. 😭
Inventory, tab 2
Thanks, glad helpful people exist when you have a moment of brainmelting
Okay so I have a lv 55 botanist whenever I try to locate lv 55 lush it locates lv 60
How do I locate lv 55 lush
I could when I was 54

is this normal?
It's just bots
pretty obvious
Not a good thing, but "normal"
I gotta finish Hdyra a dungeon with the Gae Bolg, but I assume I can just switch to it at the end and play with a better weapon during? Switching before we finish I mean
Hydra is a trial, so keep it equipped.
Ah I see, thanks
How do I locate lv 55 lush
I can only locate lv 60
Run/fly around the map and use Arbor Call (not II)
Oof
Or look it up online for the exact thing your looking for on Gamerescape or Garland DB
Or your gathering log in game
ugh, i dont know if i should switch to higlander from aura
Gathering log isn't accurate
yes it is
what are you trying to get?
Since I didnt play long and prolly forgot most about how the game works... is is better to start from the beginning?
Which is better uptime friendly, cross or line lions?
Mist dills
I would say yes so you can take advantage of road to 70.

I was trying to buy a house and it says before next devaluation time there’s about 14hours, this morning it was sold, when I should click to purchase? I’m very confused about how it works.
Devaluation timer is separate from the hidden "available to purchase" timer
Ah!? The server was alright seems, how do I know when is the available to purchase?
51 in queue isn't super notable
Got dc'd again when I logged in
if it was an actual crash or smth it'd be a couple thousand in queue
The hidden timer is random. You can only keep trying to purchase until you or some else gets it
😱 ......
welcome to housing savage
WATT! Meaning I gonn keep clicking till....
Yep, and it sucks. We know. It was to prevent old problems like players selling plots to other players, but introduced new problems
Thanks..... oof coffee ☕️ time
Well a workaround is to go to a non popular area like the goblet, purchasing a house there that nobody wants and then relocating to the plot you want.
You will just spend a lot of extra gil, but it might be worth mentioning that it's possible
Could also wait for patch 6.1, since with ishgard housing people will be relocating there
Good idea thx for the tip, i will prepare myself for that. Ishgard I gotta visit, haven’t been there in housing area.
Same I was doing the level 60 RDM duty and bam
sounds like servers just died
Oh made it back in
When would be a good time to use disappation? I find myself ignoring it since you don't generate faerie gauge while it's dismissed
Dissipation* I spell good
Your fairy will be back
By the time you need t

Right, right
Plus buffs the prepull adlo

I was a SCH main all throughout 4.3 but haven't played it since shb launch because SCH was so miserable in levelling dungeons
How long do you think it'll take to get 50 Rathalos scales? Is it just 1 dropped per run or does everyone get one?
So I'm a little rusty
One per run, need to carve the tail for ot
Everyone gets one tho correct?
Yes
Sweet
Cause everyone interacrs with ot
Guess I gotta go spam Rathy Boy 50 times
Runs take like 2-3mins
Hello! - Do people have a preference for having a DNC or RDM in their party? Can't settle on one.
should i go with the starter edition or the complete one?
Both have their pros and cons I'm afraid
Anyone got any advice for losing my mouse cursor when a lot of stuff is happening on screen? The amount of times I'm trying to click a specific mob or player or whatever and I just cannot find my mouse cursor
I'm tempted to install yolomouse
Depends, starter edition includes ARR and HW, complete edition has SB and ShB on top of that
Thee is a hotkey you can bind to have a flashing circle where your mouse cursor is
Buy what you want
doesnt the trial include all that?
Yeah but that won't really help me in the moment where I need to click on something within the next half a second
like if someone's about to eat a tankbuster and I wanna shield them or whatever
The trial includes ARR and HW, just like the starter edition, yes
u can make the cursor bigger x)
I guess I should just learn to use the player list/monster list lmao
But to play any dlc after HW you still need to buy ARR and HW
Playing the trial is not the same as actually owning the content
ah
Hi , I accidentally bought a key from G2A like a year ago and didn't quite pay attention to the region and i accidentally bought a EU time card, if there's anyone who has a NA 60 time card code I'll be more than glad to actually make an exchange, 60 EU for a 60 NA time card.
so no matter what i need it
Player list will be the best option for that yes. Or turning down effects of others
Pretty much, but depending on where you are in the msq you could hold off on buying everything. ARR and HW is a lot of content already
if i only get the starter version can i still raid to earn current gear
No
No, current endgame is Shadowbringers
current stuff is ShB only which obviously needs ShB
And to play ShB you need everything that came prior
well that sucks hard
Does it? Gotta own the game to play the game
no not that
Can't just jump to the end
i would like to raid and current pve content because thats why i play mmos
FFXIV is much more story focused
i dont mind going through the massive amount of story to get to it since its isnt bad story

Well ff14 has a huge story focus and to even reach the endgame you will have to complete the story up to a semi current level
No way around that
that being said, there are raids you can do for each expansion
doesnt really matter to me. im enjoying the story but i care more if the content is fun than if the story is good
i should say im coming from a wow mindset so thats prob why its sucks for me
i just need to shoot it dead
yeah, leave that by the door.
Yboi back with another SCH question. Best use of recitation in dungeons?
Always excog
i guess current gear doesnt really matter if i cant even do it yet due to story
Unless you need aoe healing then indom
No need for current gear unless you do current content, correct
The msq does provide you with all the gear you need
(at least for your first job)
Right, okay, I've heard some people say to use it on adlo so I can never remember
Hello to all im a new player and yesterday i downloaded the trial version of the game. First from steam and when the game was crashing at the character creation. Later i decided to dl the official client from the site and after i enabled the DirectX 9 setting i managed to play for some 30-40 mins but then the crashes started again. I enabled the DirecrX 11 but still there was the same prob. My pc has DirectX 12. Ive never faced any problems in any games. Also at the beginning of the crashes i had no error message or something, the game just closed and i was on desktop. Later on i had these messages. Plz HELP! Ive searched many hours on google forums reddit etc but i couldnt get something as a clear solution! I tried some stuff but the problem remains...!
Main point of Recitation adlo is to help spread a buffy adlo
Quest tells me to "Stand/lookout at the top of Gullperch Tower." I can see one of those shimmering things, but I can't interact with it. Anyone know how to do this?
did you make sure all of your directx stuff was updated
and are your graphics drivers up to date
use the /lookout emote while standing on that spot
do the emote /lookout
Use /lookout
You need to use the /lookout emote
oh it's one of those things, thank you all!
The slash is telling you to use that emoyr
@warped seal yes i double checked everything and i recently did updates
Right, so that's more for prep in trials?
More or less
reset your computer and try again
99% of the time you excog the Recitation
Free aetherflow use, free gauge, free energy drain
did you update your graphics drivers? nvidia had one a few days ago, I updated it and it resolved the crashes
yes i did yesterday still nothing
by reset u mean restart? cause i did that also..
i keep getting armor and weapon from other jobs as another from the story quest, is that normal?
Yes, they usually split the physical melee job gear from the caster/healer/ranged
its useful for having gear when you level other classes
only level 30 so not really useful yet
When people level alt jobs they tend to just buy from the mb
Becaus as was said... they be lazy
my carbuncle’s gust is so weak now
Its an aoe spell
yeah but it’s like
2 damage still
!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.

okayy thanks
what is the lodestone
the main info hub for ffxiv news and database
how many levels do each job has?
80
80, 70 for BLU
talk to drake in north shroud @frigid pelican
thx
how i can respond my request in support center?
when will i get my first mount?
!faq mount
'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.
oh dang, ok, so it’s still a little ways off
not sure, but i should ask anyways, does the calamity salvager do the same?
newp, gotta talk to drake for ironworks
what's the command for the leveling guide?
Altlvlguide
ah ty
Are race changes a thing?
Fantasia Potions
you get one free, otherwise they are $9.99 I think, on the Mog station.
roughly when is endwalker being released?
I’m not used to mmo giving free stuff. Is nice
"Fall"
ty
I just started weaver and prerequisites of items have prerequisites
I have sufficient gil so can I go sit at a market and just make stuff so that I can level up?
And thats why you level everything together
.
Do you want to burn all your gil?
Yes
Then go ahead
My only objective is to level up
I can make gil from selling items after I level up
Not that much with just 1
Hello hello ! So... I just went back to the game, and i have to complete the raid ''The Labyrinth of the Ancients'' to continue my main questline, but there's absolutly nobody queuing for it and since i don't have any friend i can't do it all. I'm on Zodiark, lvl80 DKN. Would there be a few kind souls willing to help me for it ? 
Just que and wait, it pops often
45min in right now 🤡
Also probably swap jobs if you're 80 otherwise its a fuck ton of xp lose
Tanks have slower 24man ques
There’s no way you’re 45 mins in right now at this time
We know so
You’ll definitely get queued
Well i just cancelled it to swap but i swear i was at 45 min in, i've stopped playing it a few months ago because i couldn't find a lobby for it 
i would like to level my crafting where do is start? should i be doing Dol first
kk thx
anyone know the chat option to see who gives commendations
no
theres no lion mount in the game or there is
there is
Paladin has two, a unarmoured and armoured version
then there's a like golem lion mount
my class has 2? hmm
what are these weird things everyone’s doing, like with a stove or an anvil on the spot
and it’s like giving them statuses or something
Crafting
is that like lvl 80?
Crafters all pull their complete workbench out of their pockets
no, you get it from an achievement for doing a specific number of instances
https://img2.finalfantasyxiv.com/accimg2/dc/c1/dcc196c93d30f76274215f1757fe4c1af7fd30a4.jpg this is the golem lion mount
its gotten with nuts, lvl 80 hunt currency
TBf you're absolutely going to be 80 to get that number of instances
you can also just grind lakshmi ex
you don't have to be, you can easily do it as a side endeavour before you hit 80 if you want
it will be easier to do as an 80 sure
i came back a week ago so im playing catchup , im still in stormblood
I mean, technically you don't.. but I can't imagine.
for the unarmoured mount you need 200 high-end duties ran (basically extremes and 8 man raids)
wut the heck? 200?
for the armoured version you need 300 dungeons (61.+), extreme/unreal trials, or lvl 50-70/leveling roulettes run
as that tank job
They're grinds, definitely.
300 dungeons and i have 5 OOF
It's common to see groups of 8 tanks spamming Lakshmi to grind out the numbers. It takes a few minutes per run.
the unarmoured one is pretty easy to get tbh
how do i give lentils and chestnuts to Medrod? The window to give item doesnt come up
oh but does older savages count towards the 200?
can spam an easy trial like lakshmi or even the old ARR trials
Since each tank has their own mount
ill get there eventually lol
Yes, older extremes/savages count towards it
200 garuda extremes is doable
its the armoured one that specifies it has to be 61+ for dungeon/extremes
and the other 3 tanks have their owns too?
yes
what are they?
dark knight is a "panther" (a black/red coeurl), warrior is a bear, gunbreaker is a sabertooth tiger

each has 2 versions too i’m assuming?
what’s a good rotation for a lv12 arcanist
you don't rly need to worry about rotation yet
ok
so the hunt log tell me to go upper la noscea oakwood
but i go there and on the map there's no oakwood
??
do dps and healers have exclusive 200-duty mounts like tanks?
if i go teleport there is only one upper la noscea
ic
iirc tanks got mount achievements as an incentive to play them because there was a tank drought in sb
we get no love just beat downs ..literally
the next healer job will be the incentive, for better or for worse
This is a bit of a weird question, but as someone who's been recently looking at getting the Moogle weapons for my White mage and red mage, I was wondering why does a red mage Moggle Mog weapon exists when it came out with Stormblood? Do the old extremes get updated with newer stuff to craft every so often?
yeah, just gotta wait like half an year
I'm curious about if a dancer moogle weapon will be coming one day. Throw moogles at people.
sth to do with rdm and sam starts at 50
so content dropping lv50 weapons will drop gears for them
gnb and dnc start at 60 so no
Ah, a shame then. So I guess the HW extremes have dancer and gnb gear, and Stormblood would get Sage and MysteryDPS stuff added?
Or did they say the new jobs would start at 80, come to think of it
Been a while since I watched that stuff.
new jobs will start at 70
Thanks for the help! A shame about the lack of moogle weapons for me, but eh.
I'll find other cool stuff.
that’s not to say they wont add a moogle chakram one day though
cause didnt they add new weapons using zurvan extreme material recently?
not for gnb or dnc though
Special weather
that just looks like normal mor dhona weather to me 
yeah just mor dhona
Gloom weather
there's a lot of uh... magical radiation, essentially, in the zone
How do I hide the unused slots?
is there a way to list all learned emotes?
That you own? In the emote log under the social menu
oh cool thx
Use ffxivcollect for a list of every emote
Thank you!
You can hide the hotbar number and the scroll as well from there @cursive abyss
Done. Now it looks really clean
you can hide more stuff i think
Would it be better to have LB next to the DRK hud elements instead of on top?
you also have a lot of mounts, do you know about mount roulette or you like it that way?
mount roulette?
it picks a random mount
I like it this way
You can open mount guide and at the bottom theres a button that does random mount
And you can pick from favourites
you can add some as favourite and it'll only pick from those
But you can also favourite the mounts you like most and itll random from that pool
Alternatively check pins in #protips-and-ui and make some collapsible ui hotbars and clean it up more
At least I wont accidently tank LB anymore when I meant to click Delirium lol
That was my main concern
I glimpsed a player that rode a mount that somewhat resembles a horse with glowing yellow mane and a set of glowing, yellow wings. My description could be wrong, but does anyone know its name?
sounds like pegasus, hang on
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Pegasus_Whistle you get it with 4,200 skybuilders' scrips in firmament
Or kirin
kirin doesn't have wings
When it flies
Yes! It got the same description and look, thanks
what abt the whm one
No it grows glowing lights
This mount looks even prettier. Thank you for giving me something to farm for
np :p
yep
Kirin
yellow would mean its not pegasus at all

Is there anyway to dye the ultima horns
no
I need a mentor
what is your question
I need someone experienced to
Carry me through this start
as I never played MMO games before
And in VC
@little swift
just ask your questions that you have in here
the game has a lot of tutorial stuffs that help guide you through it
make a character after you've downloaded the game
enter the game

Whats a novice network
are you on the free trial
novice network is like an in-game version of what we have here in this channel
you can ask people to team up with you and stuff
its a bit easier since they're on your world/data center
How many maps are there
Ok and
/shout hey i'm new may i have a novice network invite
Basically
Ik just did it
How do I create a party
And inv someone
And is there voice communication within the game?
you would right click their name and invite to party in that submenu of options
no there is not in-built voice chat
Okayt
most free companies (player guilds) use discord or some form of external communication
Where is the main map
for now you should focus on doing quests with
icon and 
Where people fight
there's no overworld pvp
Whats the goal of the game
each section of the world is a map
its a story based game
you play the story
story isn't optional
Xiv is better?
thats up to the person
Which is more popular
Can I rewatch SB ex unlocks in the unending journey? They don't have associated quests. I need some quotes from those cutscenes.

yes!
op!

Hello guys, any tips concerning making gils as a low level? I'm struggling with gils to keep up buying my gear as miner 
can i still get bitter memories from lv 60 dungeons even if i have 6/6 but i still have the quest?
Sell things you gather
Yes
doing your roulettes every day nets you a decent handful of gil as well
ty
Eh really, that simple? haha, I'll look how to sell things then thank you!
but yeah make sure you sell the stuff you gather
check marketboard prices for stuff you're able to gather, see if it's in demand
Aight thanks! I was running super low on gils, got 1K left so I was wondering how I was gonna be able to move around since I tp left and right to explore places
Alternatively, gather the materials for your next gear set and see if some friendly can craft it for you
Not exactly making money, but saving anyway
Tbh I'm just playing on my own so far so I don't feel like I need to rush the content
