hey is normal i dont find the brutal mod ?
red mage and summoner don't require an spell speed in their builds but there is a set that is more "friendly" to them
You need to unlock them
So I would be better off going crit for now?
how?
Its a quest chain in the waking sands
it also depends on which opener you're more comfortable doing
A Recurring problem
because which you use is sps dependent
Probably, or going for both sets of casting gear, so you can mix and match for Black Mage and SMN/RDM
(Normal Raid and Crafted)
I only have the exarchic for now
But I'm not going meta yet
So for now I think I'll just stack crit, and re-approach BLK at a later date when I'm looking to go hardcore or whatever
Maximize ilv first. We will put put some good example sets here.
If you want to min-max your own sets, or got some raid buffs in your group, make a copy of the sheet and adjust it accordingly.
Speed BiS
Crit BiS
SMN/RDM-Friendly BiS (can use the SMN/RDM BiS w/o swapping melds)
Pros/Cons of the BiS:
"Speed BiS": higher base output, but less variance. Has some volatility in terms of MP ticks in UI
"Crit BiS": slightly lower base output, but higher variance. Does not run into similar MP tick issues as with the SpS set
Is that command available for other jobs?
for most jobs afaik that has been updated
it just references stuff that the balance has updated
they manage that end of the faqs
So I just replace blm with the job I want to look for?
Who do I go to to get my lv70 relic armor augmented?
can you only do 3 quests per beast tribe per day?
How do I initiate the masked carnivale?
Talk to the carnival npc and pick a stage
Where is he located at?
Does BLM have any procs in its rotation or is it entirely static?
fire 3 and thunder procs
By the aether shard if the weavers guild
Or miners, whatever is closer
To the blue npc people
They mark the carnival people on the map with the blue mask
thank you, found it
For the expansion tribes, yes unless you rank up that day.
ARR tribes have multiple quest giving NPCs so you can do 9 a day for non-Ixal, or all 12 for Ixal
can you get irregularity tomestones from undersized?
no
aw okay
Alright
So I just woke up and I'm standing at the entrance to Sohm Al
What do I need to know about this dungeon
Red = stack, blue = tankbuster?
Should you have piss poor dps
Kill the green slime IMMEDIATELY
when you're playing with randoms, it's almost a guarantee!
Why kill the slime
for wanderer's palace, is there a guide to how to navigate that big room with all the stalkers? I can't seem to find a way to avoid all the stalkers while getting all the oils and activating the 3 devices
So it's a dps check
the green slime dies p quick though, it's not much of a dps check
more of a "are you awake" check
the room before the 2nd boss
the tonberrys have a distance where they'll lose interest and give up the chase
hrm...
generally you can take at least 2 or 3 stabs if you're not a tank
ideally the tank should be the one taking the stabs
Thanks! I see the Thunder proc, what's the Fire 3 proc though?
Firestarter
I guess I should pull the mobs back from that corner area since a tonberry loves hanging out there
!trait Firestarter
Moogle is napping!
Must insert kuponuts

Semi New to FFXIV as in i still have my 30 day free ingame time. Went to set up my sub and got confused. I know the rule that you buy the base game from steam, you also have to get all the next expansions from steam.
Is my only option to pay for my subscription through steam wallet? or can i enter my payment info directly into the mogstation
Should be whatever you want
you may need to use a different browser/incognito mode to see the other options.
Yeah it can be a bit finnicky
does potd have a floor cap on free trial?
oh sweet thanks!
so i'm reinstalling after a break and my speeds are around 1.4 mb/s and I was wondering if there was a fix for this
does potd give more exp the higher floor you're at?
51-60 floor is the farming floor for exp
wdym?
It’s the floor set most people queue for
that doesn't answer my question <<
yes, technically higher floors will give more exp as that's how the scaling works
also, how can you queue for a specific level? aren't you forced to start from floor 1
but generally people aren't going to go past 51-60 because the time/effort to do higher floors is more work than just repeating 51-60
A lot of people experience random throttling during patching/downloading, it should pass soon, no one really knows why it does that
once you clear floor 50, you unlock the check point to choose to start from 51-60
thanks! I think I managed to find a place where I can stay away from the patrol paths and keeping my distance
np
i did some wanderer's palace runs for a specific crafting material a bunch a while ago so navigating between those guys was something i got decent at

yeah I'm getting random drops here and there which I then craft and sell heh (I think they're used for the ARR relics right?)
Yeah they’re for making the weapon that becomes the first step of the relic
Hey guys, do you have a macro for ishgard lvl 70 collectables? I'm lvl 70 I found a macro but too much solidity (80 instead of 60)
are there quests for relics in every expansion? just got to the one "A Relic Reborn" and im around lvl 50
Yes
Yes
noice
A relic reborn is the most grindy
Basically if you don't want the relics for aesthic reasons you don't have any reason to do them aside from the latest
@faint flare I don't have that lounge
Lux relics are sexy
Take the doh/l roles
wut r lux relics haha im still on my free 30 days just joined recently
thanks a lot !
Heavensward relics last stage
the more quests you complete for a relic, dah shinier and more particle effects there are right? if so thats pretty neat definetly gonna cop one of those just for the looks
The best thing to do with ARR/HW relics is to do them when you're level 80 that way you can stomp all the content they need you to clear unsync
thats 5Head
Yes and no
On some steps they stop being shiney
D:
They change their look over the course
To become shiney again on the next step
When they change models they don't shine, then the next step makes the model shiny
Different models and different glows
ah
Except arr relics, they lose the shiney when they change textures
!iglam Sharpened Guillotine of thr Tyrant
oof
I said as much
Final step
The one
What is this skull thing underneath my tank stance gauge?
Sexy
Darkness stuff
Darkside timer
Make sure it's always full
OH
Its a damage buff from Flood/edge
From my skill on ctrl + 1?
Yes
From your skills that consume MP
Is it normal to be way above the msq lvl ?
So yeh
Yes
It gets expanded later to show your living Shadow timer at 80
FFIV remake reference
ouu that sucks kinda wish i can use the new abilities i got on these dungeons
It be like that sometimes
especially should you have road to 70
Wait until you're Lv 80 and you get Tam-Tara for your leveling roulette
nah, it'll be aurum vale cause of the event
which is even worse
LOL
lmao
Only time where I'll enjoy aurum vale runs
has to be unique
someone else has that retainer name then
Yep
do other ppl see your retainer name or player name on the MB?
Retainer
They see your retainers name
yea its not possible to see your players name unless its a crafted item
That's how I had to change my retainers name 
cause crafted items display the makers
When I leave palace of the dead. Will my level still be the same?
Oh okay 10 floors
One last thing. I'm switching from my guardian to thamatagure? Where do I level up? The msq is too high for that job atm
!faq altlvlguide
Hey I gotta do the quest "The Ultimate Ballad" and when I click on the entrance it shows me "The Praetorium". I am in a queue for the Trial The Minster's Ballad. Ultima's Bane. So which is correct? Praetorium is already "ticked" off so to speak so I'm unsure here...
are leves any good for leveling DoW/DoM?
Ultima’s Bane.
Though I must note that it’s an extreme trial and will have an extremely slow if not nonexistent queue.
that's the extreme version, you shouldn't queue for that
The Minstrel s Ballad: Ultima's Bane takes place in Praetorium, it's the Extreme version of specifically the Ultima Weapon battle. Sort of like how you've faced primals again on hard
So I shouldn't queue for that for the quest?
I'm trying to make a character on a server my friends are on but it's saying the server isn't accepting new characters. Should I just make my character and patiently wait at the screen until that server opens up or try another strategy?
Simply choose Praetorium?
And yeah like people said, duty finder for extremes will take forever because they don't feed into any of the roulette.
Basically the two options are: if you want to do it now, use party finder to make a party, maybe mentioning its your first time doing it
no its under extreme trials. you don't queue for extremes via duty finder
you use party finder for those
Or wait until you're in the 70s or so and you can solo it unsynced
also you don't need to do it really
I've never sued party finder... I did queue regularly for Garuda Extreme
I mainly did it do get out of my quest list
It's just another quest I wanna tick off the list tbh.
I like less stuff on my maps too
Yeah taht
just wait till max level and do it then
Just wanna know which it is tho, is it the Praetorium under Dungeons section, or The Minstrel's Ballad. Ultima's Bane under Trials section? Cause the dungeon where the quest marker on the map is, opens the former.
its under the trials section
Minstrel Ballad under trials, yeah.
NA/EU culture for exs has never been through DF
Ah ok, good!
I'm full on Allagan's again and I got all the Ironworks stuff. What else can I waste it on?
Until you get access to idyllshire, no real good options
If you can turn in gear to your grand company for GC seals then buy ironworks accessories to trade in
I got the minions so that's done at least (not that they're a sink)
i think there's some mats you can sell on the MB
Exchange for Glamour prisms/cordials for use/selling
you can also buy ironworks and turn them into GC seals with expert delivery
Have you been keeping up with your GC hunting log?
Some stuff you might not be able to buy yet depending on your rank
Done all the hunting log stuff and maxc rank. Haven't done any of the baracks stuff. Any time I enter there's "no new redcruits" or something.
But yeah, trade the GC stuff for things to sell
Reminds me, I still don't have a retainer...
Are you on free trial?
Don't think so. I've had sub before, but then I got the complete edition for PC (and PS4) so I kinda got another free 30 days. Not sure it counts as free trial period tho
the starting quest for it can be in any of the three city states
So just go to any of them to pick it up, it's pretty fast
I've talked to the lady who let's me get up to 2 retainers, but I have been in a queue for duty so I never wanted to abort that.
I will do that afterwards then (been in queue for 19min of 30, might as wel lwait).
Is there any way to check how many collectables you have done for the Trade Mentor req?
your achievements
Found it thanks
What are the Summoning Stones I keep seeing all around Heavensward zones for
They're the Chocobo stops
But in places where it doesn't make sense to be people manning a chocobo stop
I don't actually remember what they're called?

Ok so, I'm trying to get sticky tongue from the toxic toads in Central Thanalan for BLU. I'm attacking from a distance and the toads use sticky tongue to grab me next to them. But it just does not drop. Am I just being unlcuky?
did you double check your blue mage spellbook to make sure you haven't gotten it yet?
no problem lol
when the hell did it drop
newly learned skills aren't activated so they don't appear on your hotbar
an fc member did the same thing as you lol, farmed for it for 2hrs only to realize that they had already learned it
what mount from the event other than blissful kamuy has special music?
Gullfaxi and Markab, which are the Garuda/Ramuh mounts IIRC
I have Markab 
nightmare has unique music too, doesn't it?
Nah he’s default ARR mount music
Wait Markab has mount music?
I need to turn my mount music back on to listen to this
Wynne where's the setting for that
it's the ramuh ost
you can listen to it there
Primal mounts usually play their theme
yes
All of the extreme trials but Moggle Mog do
Also ultima
Sephirot has a mount drop, but it plays the general theme of the Warring Triad and not his specific theme
For copyright reasons
No?
Hi guys I’m a sprout and this might be a rlly dumb question but I’m curious: what happens to xp when u do a lvl 80 dungeon as a lvl 80? Is that exp just wasted?
Fiend is a soundtrack made by SE.
There's no xp
Thats why old level cap dungeons give shit xp
For Roulettes, they get replaced by endgame tomestones
They didn't HAVE it to begin with
Oh ok so people are still encouraged to do it
So what's the fastest way to get tomestones if i dont have BLU
spam praetorium or rabanastre probably
Or pvp
(PvP) Hidden Gorge is a good option for non trial
Whereabouts can I get Hoverworms to catch Cloud Cutters?
are there any materials worth gathering to sell on the MB?
Saltwater Boilie?
you just need to sell like, stacks of 99 of them
i just mean it doesn't seem like the materials ive run across are really worth all that much
and honestly, ppl probably won't tell you what they're selling, you need to scan the mb and see what you can easily gather and get a good profit off of
alrighty ty
just going to also note
that even if they aren't selling for a lot (i.e like 100g for a 99 stack) if they sell quickly then they are worth selling
^^
quick moving items are still very profitable
yeah but they aren't worth going out of my way to farm them are they?
they are
oh alright 😮
if you sell 10 stacks in a day
you can probably get a stack of like, 200 in an hour or so of casual gathering
that adds up
I mean, that's pretty substantial
it's hard to make a lot of gil all at once, it takes time
alrighty ty guys 🙂
@soft flicker if you have goldsmith, craft a bunch of nuggets they sell really easily
i have goldsmith at 73
im actually trying to make moeny to continue leveling crafters lol
What's the exchange rate for anemos crystals to protean crystals
you can probably make some nugs at that level
scan the mb, see which ones are selling a lot, and make em
okay sounds good, ill look into that
what ive been doing is isghardian restoration
to get culinarian to 80 and my gsm to 73
What part of the Sea of Clouds do I even catch the Cloud Cutters?
I did ishgard on all crafters till 70 then finished them off with leves
all crafters are at basically level 55 besides culinarian which is 80 and gsm which is 73
ahhh okay
ill get em to 70 then leves then
any particular reason why?
cause at 70 you can buy handking armor which is 1 gearset for all crafters
so for that fishing log...its a bit confusing since there's a zone called the sea of clouds
gotcha gotcha
and with handking you can craft everything you need to finish leves
but the fishing pool you want is not in that zone. its in coerthas central highlands, near the gates to ishgard
no you buy it with yellow scrips
no handking is from yellow scrips
ahh okay ty!
and turning in collectibles is also good exp hehe, you'll gain a couple levels for sure
@rustic flare basically go to whitebrim in central coerthas and fish near the ledge
Ah
But why would they want me to go fishing in the Sea of Clouds if the fish I want is not even in that zone.
Because in-game the sea of clouds is a bigger place
than the zone itself
the area beneath ishgard (where all that fog is when you look over the cliff side) is also the sea of clouds
What mount is this
Alexander mount from 12s
oh
Its 50/50 what chest spawns in 1 chest runs.
I forget what is in each chest
Bur you can see when you open them one by one
Okay. I am near the gate to Ishgard. But it's not even letting me cast my rod.
is all gear weight equally when it comes to avg item level
Yes
like i have a 460 ring i could spend tomes on to get to 520
Weapons count double
whitebrim is closer to the fishing pool
It ignores the soul crystal
Unless you use a offhand
i should d that as opposed to save
ok, yea
the intention here is to get to 485 for the last eden
Average ilvl is all slots added together (weapon counts double if no off hand) then divide by 13
got it, thanks!
which ledge that is near the gate of Ishgard? I still cannot cast my rod,
Can all paintings go to all picture frames?
Yes. The frame just determines the size
I'm a lv~30 free trail player and I am interested in the moogle treasure trove event, but I can't find anything telling me how to get involved in the event. Is anyone able to help me with this?
Check the pins
But in short: do instances marked with the moogle icon
Then buy stuff from the iternatite moogles in cities
isnt pvp the best way to get the moogle stuff?
Its one
Are you spelling it wrong or is that what the event moogles are called
is legacy movement really that better than standard cuz im reading stuff online and everyone seems to prefer legacy and saying how much better it is
and how it makes stuff easier
The spelling is dumb and I'm bad
Itinerant Moogles then?
Whatever its spell
Legacy is kinda like other mmos really so its kinda natural
Here?
yeah, should be able to fish around there
which mmo is like legacy
Hire retainers from the retainer vacates in the main city marketplaces
Is it possible for a non-level 80 player to do lvl 80 maps and get in the instance if we get the portal?
Legacy movement is like standard top-down third-person games—whatever direction you press, you run in that direction
They act as your bank and way to sell items on the marketboard.
Whereas standard movement is “tank controls”
I can’t say for sure about getting in, but you can switch to a lower level job in there
ty!
legacy feels weird over here so I will continue using standard
Legacy movement has the practical advantage of being able to run backwards, unlike standard movement where pressing S makes you slowly backpedal
^
and thank you, ill give it a shot
Legacy is also much more natural feeling for controller
Where to get cool looking armor?
that's a broad question
You can see and buy a bunch of tradeable gear on the marketboard.
If you do continue using standard, would extremely very highly recommend re-binding A and D to strafe left/right, and removing the “turn” keybinds as they’re basically useless and aren’t practically usable during combat encounters
As they’re not effective for dodging mechanics
There’s pins in #glamour-discussion that have links to resource sites showing sets and a site where people share their glamours/transmits/looks
I hear 24 man raids drop armor
You also get class gear sets at 60/70/80 for most classes
But I don't know what they look like
Virtually all content in the game has some kind of gear rewarded from it
So the question is too broad to give a specific answer to
not to mention "cool" is super subjective
There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of different gear sets and outfits in the game
No
not a bot, common if you're in cities without an fc
Probably a macro message, but not a bot message
whatever buffs the fc has on
Social stuff
they grow their numbers
thats usually the case for people who message random new people trying to recruit them
Everyone in the FC slowly generates FC credits doing various things
Its a guild
A little late but thank you for your help guys
hello, I wanted to know how I can set upo my HUD layout as a BLM to be easier on the eyes and for quicker play mechanics. I've seen quite a few videos of players who's HUD layout looks clean and not clustered. Can someone link me a guide on how to set one up for my BLM? Please and Thank you.

For some general ideas
thank you
if you get to floor 50 PotD, does it unlock starting at 50 for every future class or just that saved run?
tl;dr split the target UI element, place the cast bar, buffs, debuffs, and target status in a easily viewable location
Every run
That level 45 fisher quests is done. Where can I do some leves to level it up?
honestly just level fsh thru ocean fishing
I have done Ocean Fishing before. It's so fun.
is potd difficulty scaled down if you queue in 2 rather than in 4?
gotcha ty
so is this room or the melee lounge better for drg controller setup questions
(melee lounge seems kinda dead)
Try #protips-and-ui for crossbar layout advice
ty
can i play with a friend if they're in floor 20 and im at 30?
In palace of the dead?
yep
You have to both be at the same floor progress to enter as a party together
ooh oke
Which consistent AoE options should I aim to get before trying to obtain SB trials’ spells? (BLU)
The Tours are a nice option for when Ultravibration is on cooldown
It says potency is amplified to 400 when enemy has X debuff.
400 for every monster hit? Or does it do less damage to the targets other than the main one?
Okay. Thank you
I'm stuck on shadowbringer msq because it says I need 410 item level (at 403). I read something about job quests giving me some sort of crystal to turn in for 430 gear but not sure what it is. Any tips on how to get to 410 quickly so I can do the last msq?
buy exarchic gear off the MB
Grenolt
how am I supposed to use trick attack in combat if i have to be in hidden with "hide"?
they're 510 so a piece or two should get you there
!action Suiton
Deals water damage with a potency of 600.
Additional Effect: Grants Suiton
Duration: 20s
Suiton Effect: Allows execution of actions which require the effect of Hidden, without being under that effect
Mudra Combination: Ten→Chi→Jin or Chi→Ten→Jin
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
When you turned in light of inspiration
Thanks. I missed it
How do I blacklist someone?
oh that's the guy who gives yo gear when you finish the class quest right?
For the 80 gear

How easy are the glamour prisms to get? 🙂
hi ! how to have tomestones poetics ? i've reached lv 50 and my gear level is too low, so i went to mor dhona but i don't have any tomestones (i was nin 50 and now i'm samurai 50)
Do lv50 content
Okay, so casting glamour on my gear, even with leveling is ok? :p I really like my actual gear set :p
You get your firdt from castrum and praetorium
In duty finder if you select the quests you can see if they reward Poetics, they look and red and cyan tablets!
Put it in the glamour dresser and make a glamour plate with it, plates are free to use after putting items in thr dresser
thank you sir !
Wait, so if I put my item in the dresser, I won't have to use any glamour prisms? 😮
Okay! Thanks 🙂 I'll do that as I gradually replace my actual gear then
What’s the learning chance of a BLU spell when running an instance unsync?
Generally low
Can I put Gae Bolg on a glamour palette?
you'd need to put the replica into the dresser to add it to a glamour plate
you can't put gae bolg itself into the dresser, you need a replica of gae bolg
which you can buy from drake in north shroud assuming you've got a completed zeta
And how do I get that?
Oh okay! thanks
I did not do zeta yet 😦
How useful is it to purchase iLvl 130 gear with tomestone of poetics? Is it only for glamour? Or do I get to upgrade it later? 🙂
Very useful
Its the best lv50 gear
Should be high priority
Ironworks lasts you until lv55 into the story/dungeon
Shouldn't I just keep going with the main story until level 80?
You should
where do i trade in rarefied coral? i don't see it at the collectable appraisers and i assume thats because its a level 80 item
I mean, won't level 50 gear be soon outdated?
But get as many ironworks piecrs as you can
Especially weapon
It lasts yoy for 5 story levels
If you have items only equippable by one gender then you will no longer be able to equip them. If it’s just normal gear that has different appearances based on what gender is wearing it, then it will match your new gender.
Oh okay, yeah, but I shouldn't stop and farm the tomestone to get the full set?
Shore up whatever is lacking
And then grab your big pieces as you can in upgrade priority order
Weapon > chest/legs >head/hands/feet >accessories
Start with accessories if those are weakest

where do i trade in level 80 gatherer collectables?
Rarefied stuff is traded in at the collectables appraisers in the main city-states and endgame hubs
are you lvl 80/unlocked the eulmore house of splendors?
my botanist isn't level 80 but i do have the eulmore splendors vendor
thats why, you have to be 80 to turn in lvl 80 collectables
ah i see, thank you!
thanks !
If 1 day left subscription does it mean that I can play under 1 day or is there hours timer after 1 day?
Any resources to look up mounts ? Actually see them ?
And how important are non-story old raids? (I didn't unlock the Crystal Tower with the story for example, so should I unlock/run it? Or just ignore it?)
In terms of actual view models, no.
Other raids aren't super important but they have their place
You get stopped around 2.5 or something, before heavensward
Same with hard mode primals
Some amount under a day I think
Plus it gives more poetics and access to a new roulette
I didn’t get the BLU spell “Loom” even though I defeated Flame sergeant dalvag after he used it? For 3 times now
Rng
damn
Overworld spells are all rng
I really love how this game introduces the dungeons/raids with the story!
What turn of Binding Coils of Bahamut does Answers play on
13
No

My SB Checklist:
4.0 (DONE)
Eureka and BA (DONE)
Omega Raid Series (DONE)
RtI Alliance Raid Series (DONE)
I think thats everything before I get back to MSQ.
Actually, there is Kugane Castle, right?
Yes as an optional dungeon
Weekly Delerum quest
A weekly lockout notice
how do i do the relic then
If spamming dr norm for relic just queue in again normally
how do i go to the next step for the relic
.
ok so i just got to CLL, then DR, then I stopped
then I'm supposed to enter DR again apparently?
@dire prawn There's Answeres which is located in T13, and Answers Reprise, which is played as the background music during the annual anniversary event.
which quest is it
Relic prog depends on where you are in the weapon quests
ive one recollection
There's an annual anniversary event?
The rising
i googled but i dont understand the second step
Takes place after the Midsummer Fire Festival in the summer.
If just have done cll and dr then next step is 510 which is crystal tower spam (or cll more) then the annoying step (one time) then dr or potd until ptsd
arent they the old quest
Does the BGM change everywhere or just for Turn 13 of Binding Coils
T13 is the normal Answers it is always that. During the event certain areas of the capital cities background music changes to Answers Reprise.
Talk to Gerolt. In the Queens image
Oh
wheres that
T13 answers is 3 part depending on the phase of progression (itll loop until have damaged boss, then until after all mopes dead and finally after boss reappears)
Any of the 3 arr 24mans
Any of the alliance instances for arr. CLL is faster post buff
Syrcus tower is prefered one of the alliance choices
Did I accidentally change a setting at some point? It used to be that if I started typing even if the chat window wasn’t actively selected, it would switch to there automatically and everything I entered would be there. Now I either have to select the chat window first or type an extra key before it will start registering my text input
why tho
Fastest and most brain dead
Its the fastest
Direct chat
Less dumb mechanics/faster to get it over with
In character config
i did a trail but my bags were full there droped a mount so i discarded an item but then the chest was gone.? will the mount get to my mailbox or?
Were you solo
yes
Now if you want them for orchestrion rolls, that's different. Answers is crafted but the recipe is probably the most complicated Orchetrion roll recipe out there. Answers - Reprise because the roll was an event reward, is on the store for $3US
its not too expensive
i mean, if youre buying a crafted roll

it doesnt auto drop after CT?
who is this strong creature?
its a boss fate
It’s a fate, you usually don’t do them alone to begin with
Just now I queued for a 24 man raid, only for it to time out after someone withdrew. Now I'm seem to be in a new 1/24 queue. <_<
It ain't a new queue you aren't isolated into the back end of a queue
It is just the game trying to work out who gets priority, and it takes time for it to figure it out
Yeah am I in fuller queue now but it seems like it should just be able to get a new person in.
I bought base game on PC a while ago. I want to buy it on the ps5 now but need to know if the game time that comes with a ps5 base purchase will still work on the whole account
It does
Tyvm
so long as you do not own the game already for that platform, you will get the 30 days free from applying starter/complete edition for that platform
Anyone know how to get facial hair for character?
its a facial feature option for most male characters, though not every face has the same options
I mean like in game. Not for character creation
there's pretty much only two things that give facial hair, and they're both mogstation items
what's the deal with stone sky sea, and circles of answering? what to do there exactly?
Correct, it's a raid class boss fate. You will NOT be soloing it.
:')
false mostache and saint's cap
npc says they're dummies
hey guys! new to the game, playing the trial
havent entered there yet tho
the main story quests are so like difference in levels
I wanted to give my character facial hair to make it seem like he's getting older as I progress through the story
:")
They’re basically DPS checks tailored to specific fights
like i do one, then th e next is level 10 when im level 6.
what do i do 😭 am i forced to side quest
- 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
how do i unlock the navel extreme?
oh nice, and does it work as training for those fights, or are they useless?
They're just dummies
as im ignored, feelsbadman
At your level, doing some class hunt targets should level you up to 10 really fast.
@torn lichen do garuda extreme first (unlock is in gridania) then the quest for titan extreme will be in the waking sands
class hunt targets hm
Urianger in the Waking Sands at Vesper Bay should have the quest “Primal Nature”
@plush hound do you suggest me getting the 60 cap and doing first expansion before deciding to buy the game?
If you don’t mind the social restrictions of the trial then yeah.
Trying to get a grip on understanding the SAM balance rotation. I'm terrible at rote memorization, though. I can figure a pace easy enough when I open, but once I begin to rotate through the phases I lose... perspective, I suppose?
...why does the bunny outfit in the Manderville Gold Saucer have to emphasize that it's fitted for everyone?
i have this discord for temporary social
I mean I respect it but damn.
also is there any easier way to get to like central shroud and stuff..?
It used to be female only and was one of the first items to lose the gender lock
The wedding outfits have a similar message on them
!item Tailcoat of Eternal Passion
Which zone are you in right now?
what is a magicked prism immortal flames? I just did a palace of the dead
use it, it does a funny thing.
Fireworks pretty much
So you're in the zone you're looking to get to?
LOL thats it
Also, a DRG question - My off global timing is thrown off by having too much sks. Should I keep delaying my first LotD, or just go ham?
Well a faster method to get to different locales is to talk to the chocoporter in hub spots in the zones. They're essentially flight paths. pay a little gil and they'll take you to your selected destination automatically. There's also the aetheryte shards aka the big crystals. Right click to attune to them and you can teleport to attuned ones.
ooo didnt know about chocoporters
is there a preferred guide site? specifically looking for a dark knight guide as my first alt. especially with rotations at each level like 30,40,50, etc.
there isnt a preferred guide site but there is a discord where all the theorycrafting/guidemaking for ffxiv are done. you can check it out.
!faq balance
you can also take a look at the pins in #tank-lounge if you are just looking for a guide
Thanks
Week Alber on YouTube makes leveling rotation guides for most of the classes and is very accurate
They’re a good channel to watch
For leveling other jobs. What can I do? Apparently potd doesnt apply once you leave the dungeon
It happens. Rez, dust yourself off, learn from your mistake and get back into it.
So i noticed people taking limit break recordings in a sort of room, and ive been wondering hwo can i also access this room?
mistake one was not knowing monsters over your level insta aggro you in groups
Been watching them show case limit breaks and ive been wondering how else I can do it as well
You can only really do it in dungeons, either use Limit break then enter Gpose or use the Explorer feature to freely use Limit breaks though its only for Shadowbringers stuff
And i think some 70 dungeon
Gpose?
explorer mode is currently just for shadowbringers dungeons
How do i get explorer mode?
duty finder settings
Itd in the duty finder settings
how can I be a better healer? I switched from BLM to WHM today and I'm at lvl70. Im trying to under the mechanics of a healer and my role better.
Use holy
Priotise off global healing
Dont focus on keeping people at full hp, just high enough
1.) Learn how flexible you can be in terms of healing vs. dpsing.
2.) Use Assize on CD, whether or not people need healing. It's a powerful ogcd attack as much as it is a heal.
3.) Learn to keep your view as broad as possible - don't tunnel dps so hard that you forget you're the healer.
the other is keeping track of status debuffs and using your dispels too
any good videos that show an example and I could use a better hotbar setup other than the basic default one
i seem to have no gil lol
guys
Hotbar setup is going to be a personal thing. Try to make it logical for you. Personally, I group my ST cast heals together, my AoE cast heals together, my dps spells together, my instant casts together, etc.
where can i find allagan tomestones of poetry?
can u join any guild in any server or it has to be your server?
Your server
OOF
Lv50 content gives it to you
Do lv50 content
To really sum up being good as a healer
and actually any job in general
the ABC
Always
Be
Casting
158.000 gil
You're fucking broke
Thatd not alot
lol
Alot is in the over 10 millions
On an unrelated note what's the name of Shiva's deep freeze skill
omh
Diamond dust
Why do you know this
guys im at the ending of the story?
Because its like literally the iconic names for all the primal ultimates
And flying text received
It's kinda Shiva's thing. She uses it in other FFs as well
Tell you ability names
Of course Shiva is in other FF games
The skill that goes CLICK
i played shiva eons in ff 10
It's fucking epic
Ultimate weapon is the end of the base arr story. You have 80 quests after that to get to heavensward
I remember having to heal that boss
ty bu im in free trial
By the way, that's roughly half of how many you did for the base ARR story
When everyone froze i was like "WTF oh no did i mess up are we all gonna die"
Give or take about four quests
Trial can go to heavensward
And then BAM, Everything shatters and the music ramps up
Trial goes all the way to the end of post-HW
that was when i decided to buy Shadowbringers and i was commited to ff14
You can't continue on to Stormblood
I need her mount just to see if the snap is part of her theme
No
So after the freeze
xD
Yes
kinda wish that the bosses would last longer
Since its old content they all melt within like 30 seconds of combat
so i never really get to hear the full music
Shiva's music is "Footsteps in the Snow" for P1, and "Oblivion" for P2
soo uhh
im actually listening to that right now
did all my hunt log for archer, still nto level 10, guess im forced to side quest xd
Do fates
I like how the Ramuh mount plays the part of his theme from when he's being summoned
PotD
Side quests are terrible xp
this isnt gameplay related but
what happens to the primals we defeat
do they actually die die
It uhh
that one dies
because as a summoner i really dont like seeing my babies die
The game actually has an explanation for this in post-ARR
wdym THAT one
At some point
They can be resummoned
Im in heavensward now
Primals aren't exactly "alive" the same way that, say, people would be.
guys what is heavensword?
They're more like an embodiment of energy and intent.
new map?
The whole story line of the hard mode primals was thr beast tribes resummoning the primals
The expansion after ARR
You kill that version
So basically primals are just faith that has been given form
But they can be resummoned
what is arr?
Yes
A realm reborn
It goes A Realm Reborn > Heavensward > Stormblood > Shadowbringers
That's literally what summoning is
OOOhhh
A Realm Reborn - the base game.
At base
oooo thanks
I can get a cute dragon bf god to absolutly demolish people I dont like
fate failed feelsbadman

That's basically Shiva
but
Summoning uses strong faith and a vast amounts of Aether
Which is why there's always crystals
after arr i will be level60?
Im moving to Ezorea
No
My dream of getting a big dilf dragon BF is coming true
Summoners Summoms use their own aether, which is why we only get baby egis and not the full blown things
minus the small downside of possible destroying the world in the process and getting shanked in the side
dont let 60 fool you, i feel like at this rate itll take me a month
I think being level 60 is already really far ahead in heavensward
You'll easily be level 60 before you get to the end of HW though.
since most of the quests and adds all sync to level 50-54
I hit 58 off of Sohm Al
You'll probably be more than halfway there before you even finish post-ARR.
So not at all far into HW
I was level 59 before i entered heavensward
probally since i did all my daily roulette
Post arr quests basically give extreme minimal xp
Imagine doing roulettes
the main quest scecnario however gives such low exp though...
So its just how much side shit you do
i actually feel like i get no exp from doing the main quest anymore
if you're on post ARR then that's because it doesn't give a lot
post-ARR is all Lv 50 so it gives shit exp because that's the ARR level cap
its not intended to level you much
no its upon entering heavensawrd
im talking about my heavensward exp at level 58
*59
xp gains are relative.
Damn you daily roullettes
the game doesn't expect you to start heavensward at 58 my dude, it expects you to start it at 50
and scholar for giving me super fast ques
what do you mean switch jobs?
I do
altough i should really start using summoner more for dungeons
Its gonna bite me in the butt if I dont get used to dpsing inside of dungeons outside World content and raids
You can be all jobs on a single character.
i can level other jobs without changing my character?
Yes
yes
After unlocking the job
so why in the starting it makes me chose?
is there a way for the recipe book to get directed to the last recipe opened? 😮
Because thats your starting class
Your equipped weapon dictates what class/job you are provided you have unlocked that class/job
You need to start as something
Because you have to have a combat job to play the game, so you have to pick one.
But you can be everything.
Ultimately.
oh ok
but if i can be gladiator im level 1 and i need to do things from starting correct?
I got lucky since scholar and summoner both share exp
Yes
Yes
!faq altlvlguide
Jobs all start from their minimum level - so ARR jobs start from 1, HW jobs from 30, SB from 50, and ShB from 60.
and that is $$$$$
$$$
im dead can i use something or only others can?
Only othere
Dead people can't use things
Just res yourself with the prompt
ty
If you're dead you can either wait for someone to raise you, or release to your home point.
look where i am lol ajahahahha
I'm dead too but inside
fates are okay fun
Just release. You'll be at the entrance.
also
Take the shortcut when it appears.
realistically, in prae there isn't much reason to stop and raise someone
when they can just release and use the terminals to catch up the group
I mean, if they're not in my party I might not even see them.
I met someone that was a scholar that was level 58 and walked away from ym dead body 3 feet apart
I was actually fuming
🤷♀️ they probably didn't see you
